COMMENTS FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CEO

The organic sales growth was 1 percent and reflected the challenging macroeconomic situation that prevails in the US and in Europe, and the security market in countries such as France, Portugal and Spain continues to deteriorate. Fragile signs of macro economical recovery in Europe and the US are not yet reflected in the security market growth. Latin America continued to show strong organic sales growth.

Margin improvement driven by cost savings

The quarter on quarter improvement trend continued, even though hampered by the weak security market and slow organic sales growth. The operating margin improved in all divisions compared to previous year, mainly driven by the various restructuring and cost savings actions taken in 2012. We achieved cost savings according to our restructuring plan.

Sales of security solutions and technology gradually increases

In 2012 the sales of security solutions and technology represented approximately 6 percent of Group sales. We have set a target to triple this share of sales by the end of 2015. We continued to increase our investments in resources within security solutions and technology and the run rate in the third quarter of 2013 was 7.5 percent.
