Comments by CEO Johan Hjertonsson:

  · The demand in the late-cycle Indoor Lighting and Retail Lighting Business
Areas is stable at a low level, which is in line with previous assessments, and
we believe that the market is likely to continue to be weak during the second
half year.
  · A positive level of orders received was seen in the second quarter, MSEK 818
(861), which is an increase of 12% compared with the first quarter 2013. This is
a decline compared with the strong comparative period Q2 2012 which had been
largely due to the strong Swedish krona.
  · An improved operating profit in the second quarter compared with the
previous year, MSEK 50.9 (44.7).
  · The lower level of sales has been compensated for through costs savings and
a stronger gross margin during the second quarter.
  · Strong cash flow from the on-going operations during the quarter.
  · I-Valo Oy was acquired during the quarter and compliments the Group’s
offering to heavy industry.
