Cardo presents new financial targets and new dividend policy At the ongoing Capital Market Day in Stockholm, Cardo presents new financial targets for the Group. The financial targets that were set up for Cardo's business-to-business divisions in 2005 were achieved in 2008. During 2009, Cardo succeeded in changing its product and market mix in a very difficult market situation and having also adopted economy measures has succeeded in further strengthening its operating margin during the first nine months of 2010. The new financial targets relate to the Group's total operations and comprise targets for organic growth, operating margin, return on capital employed and net debt/equity ratio. The dividend policy is being enhanced so as to provide a dividend of at least 50 % of net earnings for the year after tax. New financial targets and dividend policy Organic growth* > 6 % Operating margin > 10 % Return on capital employed > 20 % Net debt/equity ratio < 1.0 times Dividend policy (net earnings for the year after tax) > 50 % * At comparable rates of exchange, incl. price and volume Apart from the dividend policy and net debt/equity ratio, the financial targets are to be achieved over a business cycle.
