Interim report January - September 2007

Increased sales and improved earnings in all business areas

“Efficiency measures in the operation and continued focus in the
operation on profitable segments creates increased growth and improved
margins,” says CEO Peter Nilsson.

The order and delivery scenario remained good in the third quarter and
growth was favorable, with organic growth amounting to 12 percent.

Operating profit in continuing operations, excluding items affecting
comparability, increased by 49 percent. All business areas reported
increased operating profit and margins as a result of healthy volumes
and the continued successful focus on more profitable
segments.

Activities within the framework of Trelleborg Automotive’s strategic and
operational review continued during the third quarter. During the
quarter, Trelleborg Engineered Systems also took a decision regarding
the relocation and specialization of production to increase
competitiveness and enable
synergies.

The Group continues to assist the authorities in the ongoing competition
investigation. Earlier announcements made concerning the assessment of
the impact on the Trelleborg Group stand firm.

Outlook for the fourth quarter of 2007
The outlook for the fourth quarter of 2007 remains unchanged from the
outlook for the first three quarters of the year.

For general industry, demand is not expected to decline and it is
anticipated that the very strong demand in the Aerospace and Oil/Gas
segments will continue. Cutbacks in production, mainly among North
American customers, are expected to have adverse effects on automotive-
related operations.

* For calculation of key operating ratios, the following items that
affect comparability have been excluded: restructuring expenses,
impairment losses, nonrecurring revenue and nonrecurring costs.
