Gunnebo (STO:GUNN):

Comments by Gunnebo’s President and CEO Per Borgvall

"The quarter has developed well and order intake grew organically by 10%. The Asia-Pacific region continued to show excellent growth, organically it increased by 45%. In the Americas region order intake grew organically by 8%. Hamilton Safe in the US, which in this quarter had been part of the Group for just over a year, had stable order development. In the Europe, Middle East and Africa region (EMEA) order intake increased organically by 4%, which indicates some recovery after a weak first half-year. The markets in Europe, however, generally remained unstable and showed no signs of an actual recovery.

Our focus on moving the point of gravity to growth markets and adjust the cost-structure in Europe has given good effect. In the quarter, business outside of Europe accounted for 42% of net sales. The quarter is burdened with costs of a non-recurring nature of MSEK 32, and year to date with MSEK 54. Payback-time for these measures is estimated to 12 months. We will continue on this journey. In addition, the SafePay business is continuing to improve and the former trend of losses within electronic article surveillance has been reversed during the quarter. Operating margin, excluding items affecting comparability, amounted to 7.1% in the quarter.

During the quarter a number of orders that are fully in line with the Group’s strategy were received. In Brazil we have had a breakthrough in the CIT customer segment with an order for cash handling solutions. The recently acquired company in Korea has won a major order from Samsung for entrance control. In Europe we have received an important order for solutions to tighten security at airport check-in from TUI Airlines in Belgium. A major German retail chain is continuing to streamline cash handling in its stores with equipment from Gunnebo, and Spanish Bankia has commissioned Gunnebo to upgrade security in its branch network in line with new legal requirements."
