YEAR-END REPORT JANUARY - DECEMBER 2005

Stable trend for the Trelleborg Group

The Trelleborg industrial Group can look back at a stable trend during 2005. For the full-year, net sales reached SEK 24,170 M (22,912), with sales increases in all five business areas. Organic growth was approximately 3 percent. For the full-year, net profit for the Group’s continuing operations, excluding restructuring costs and impairment, rose somewhat to SEK 1,177 M (1,122). The Group’s operating cash flow continued to develop strongly and rose by 21 percent during the year, from SEK 1,483 M to SEK 1,788 M. Free cash flow increased by 77 percent. The Group’s repositioning and increased focus on selected segments, in conjunction with price increases and cost savings, were largely able to offset considerably increased costs for raw materials. The Group continues to advance its positions in several prioritized segments. The order and delivery situation for most of the Group’s units is favorable. The oil/gas and aerospace segments are examples of areas with a particularly favorable order backlog situation. “We expect to continue to be able to grow more rapidly than our underlying markets,” says President and CEO Peter Nilsson.
