Comments from CEO Mats Wäppling:

“Operating profit for the period from January to September 2011 rose to
SEK 340 million and operating margin was 8.1 per cent. During the same
period, Sweco Sweden achieved an operating margin of 10.7 per cent.

“The overall market situation is good, with favourable opportunities for
growth. Third quarter growth reached 17 per cent, of which 11 per cent
was organic. The Swedish operations grew by 20 per cent during the
quarter. At the same time, the outlook for the general economy has
worsened and there is far-reaching uncertainty about market development.

“Sweco has been awarded several notable contracts, such as a number of
energy assignments in Africa to develop the supply of electricity in
Tanzania and Kenya with a combined order value of around SEK 80 million.
We are also involved in Stora Enso's investment in a new paper machine
in the company's Polish factory Ostrołęka Mills. The contract is worth
approximately SEK 50 million. In Sweden we have been chosen for
extensive engineering design work in connection with the expansion of
Boliden's iron ore production in Garpenberg.

“Sweco's healthy finances, wide service offering and leading market
positions in several important growth segments give us a solid platform
for favourable long-term development.”
