Gunnebo Interim Report January-September 2014

Gunnebo (STO:GUNN):

Comments by Gunnebo’s President and CEO Per Borgvall

"During the quarter, order intake increased organically by 1% compared with last year. Region Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) saw an increase of 5% which reinforces the trend for stabilisation which has been seen in the region during the whole of the year. Compared to the previous year, order intake in our growth markets was somewhat weaker. This is largely due to a comparatively strong third quarter during the previous year, repercussions following the national elections in India, a continued reluctance to invest from the retail sector in Brazil and the fact that during the third quarter last year, Mexico had booked several large orders for delivery over a longer period.

During the third quarter, the Group’s sales declined organically by 5%. In Region EMEA sales have continued to stabilise which is pleasing given the development of recent years. It is also especially pleasing to see that the cost savings programme we are implementing is showing results, that the French business has improved during the year, and that SafePay continues to develop well.

Sales in Region Asia-Pacific (APAC) declined organically by 11%. The slowdown in the region is temporary and both India and China will continue to deliver profitable growth going forward.

In Region Americas, sales declined organically by 14%, mainly due to a weak quarter in Brazil. However USA continues to develop positively even though intake from deliveries to state authorities is still lower than the previous year.

During the quarter, the acquisition of Dissamex, a provider of electronic security services in Mexico, was completed. The acquisition doubles the turnover in Mexico and gives us a strong, nationwide platform from which to expand our solutions offering to the growing Mexican security market.

Since the end of the quarter, Gunnebo has acquired Clear Image, a supplier of electronic security solutions that nicely complements our business and presents new opportunities on the British market.

As a result of these acquisitions, together with successful market initiatives to introduce our cash handling and entrance security solutions globally, and the positive improvement in results we have seen during the year, we now move into the future with confidence.”
