LINKOPING, Sweden, Feb. 27, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Today, February 27 at 12:00, Saab AB will publish its Annual Report for 2002 on the homepage www.saab.se/ir. The printed version of the Annual Report will be available to shareholders on March 3, and can be ordered as of next week.

In addition, the Income statement, Balance sheet and Statement of cash flows are available as separate Excel-documents on Saab's homepage, in order to facilitate own analyses of the financial information.
