Gunnebo Interim Report January-March 2015

Regulatory News:

"Order intake during the first quarter increased organically by 5%. Region Americas is once again enjoying strong growth with a 38% organic increase in order intake, as well as very positive development in Mexico after the acquisition last autumn. Order intake in Region EMEA increased organically by 4%. The markets in Europe have stabilised and growth countries in the region, primarily the Middle East, are showing continued strong demand. The order intake in Region Asia-Pacific decreased organically by 17% during the quarter. The Indian bank market, which is important to Gunnebo (STO:GUNN), is still weak due to undercapitalisation in the state-owned banks and difficulties in funding continued expansion.

"Sales during the quarter decreased organically by 3% as a result of a weak order intake during the fourth quarter of 2014. Sales in Regions EMEA and Asia-Pacific decreased by 3% and 12% respectively, while Region Americas reported organic growth of 9%. The weak quarter in India has had a negative impact on operating profit.

"Demand for access solutions is currently increasing and during the quarter Gunnebo signed a strategically important agreement for Swedavia’s airports in Sweden. The market for cash handling is also showing good growth and Gunnebo has, for example, signed a major general agreement in France, closed yet another important deal in Region Americas and received its first cash handling order in Malaysia.

"Efforts to adapt the Group’s costs in Europe have continued and have contributed to Region EMEA’s improvement in margin during the quarter. It is particularly pleasing to see that the restructuring work which has been carried out and which is still in progress in France is producing the desired effects.”
