  · The weak economic climate seen within Retail Lighting, resulted in a lower
level of orders received and in a lower operating margin than in the previous
year
  · Increasingly clear signs of a downward trend in Indoor Lighting during the
fourth quarter
  · Continued focus on adapting cost levels, but product development investments
continue
  · Good cash flow during the year
  · The strong Swedish krona impacted profit negatively
