Interim report April - June 2012


“Trelleborg reports a strong quarter. The margins and earnings in the quarter,
was Trelleborg's best to date. Furthermore, cash flow was strong. Sales growth
was favorable in North America and in parts of Asia, while the trend in Europe
was mixed. Organic growth was overall slightly negative, which is due to lower
demand in parts of Europe. We continue to invest in emerging markets like
Brazil, India and China to enhance our geographic balance, which to some extent
continues to burden the result and increases the investment level during the
quarter.
Trelleborg have together with Freudenberg formed a joint venture within
antivibration solutions for light and heavy vehicles, thus creating a global
leader in this segment. The joint venture, TrelleborgVibracoustic, is since the
beginning of the third quarter operational.
The market outlook gives cause for caution. We follow of course the developments
closely and are well prepared to manage uncertainties,” says President and CEO
Peter Nilsson.
