Comments from the President and CEO Bo Annvik;

"The strong demand we experienced in the later part of the first quarter continued into the second quarter and the quarterly sales amounted to SEK 1,067 m. All regions showed improved sales this quarter compared to the first quarter of 2013. During the second quarter 2013 we have been able to manage our cost base well, which positively affected our operating income. One of Haldex overall targets is an operating margin of 7% over a business cycle, I am therefore especially pleased to deliver an operating margin of 7.1% in the second quarter. In Europe we have entered into the final stages of the global restructuring program, and together with a more focused strategy, we are well on the way of creating a stable platform of sustainable, profitable growth”.
