“The Group’s earnings rose compared with the same period last year due to higher
and more consistent delivery volumes and both ongoing and completed
rationalisation measures. The strong demand noted in Q2 continued during the
seasonally weaker Q3, which resulted in good order bookings and stable loading
at our production units.

The Bulten division’s successful FSP concept (Full Service Provider) continues
to generate good growth. During the quarter the division won a significant new
order from a major vehicle manufacturer corresponding to an annual sales value
of approximately EUR 35 million. Opportunities for new business and higher
market shares going forward are expected to remain good. The profitability of
the Finnveden Metal Structures division has also improved compared with the
corresponding quarter last year, mainly due to increased volumes and ongoing
rationalisation measures, where streamlining of the foundry business has highest
priority.”
