8 Net sales & Operating margin
1 April 2013 31 March 2014 During the first six months business conditions for the Group were stable on the whole, despite a relatively volatile underlying demand based on a fragmented market in terms of geography, customer segments and product segments During Q3 business conditions were more positive, but sales were weak due to a number of customers taking a cautious approach to purchasing before the end of the calendar year The postponed deliveries from Q3 took place as planned, and as a result Q4 showed very good organic growth in sales and earnings. Business conditions gradually became more stable during the financial year, although demand for production components from Nordic manufacturing companies, above all in the vehicle and engineering industries, remains hesitant. This particularly affects the Components and Industrial Solutions business areas, in which the Danish and Finnish markets experienced tougher market conditions, the Norwegian market was at a high level and the Swedish market recovered slightly during the year. The Group's companies that operate in markets outside the Nordics enjoyed very positive development. For the Life Science and Energy business areas, demand from, for example, Nordic healthcare and customers in the energy segment developed well. 9
1 April 2013 31 March 2014 Growth in sales and earnings in the Group during the financial year come from organic growth, implemented acquisitions and the positive impact on earnings of selective cost adjustments that have been made. Combined with our focus on working capital, this has resulted in good cash flow and a robust financial position, which creates good future opportunities. During the financial year five acquisitions made by the Group came into force, adding annual sales of about SEK 300 million. The Group announced two additional acquisitions that bring annual sales of a further SEK 45 million and that came into effect after the end of the financial year. 10

12 Net sales by geographical market
Addtech Components 12 months 4th quarter Net sales 1,554 1% 423 8% EBIT 96-2% 27 27% ROS 6.2% 6.4% 6.5% 5.6% All in all for the business area, demand for production components from Nordic manufacturing companies gradually became more stable during the financial year, but the variations between different customer segments and geographical areas remain Customers in, above all, the vehicle and engineering industry segments and in electronics production reduced their pace of production during the year. The most positive demand was seen in customer segments such as energy, oil and gas in Norway and from large machinery constructors who sell to other markets outside the vehicle and engineering industry segments. 13
Addtech Energy 12 months 4th quarter Net sales 1,975 25% 564 25% EBIT 200 31% 59 43% ROS 10.1% 9.7% 10.5% 9.2% Overall, demand for the business area was good during the year, with a favourable start and a strong end to the year, but with a weaker period in Q3 Demand for products for electrical power distribution and transmission was good throughout the year After a very high volume of deliveries in the transmissions segment, our customers announced slightly lower investment levels, which may affect the business area in the short term The business conditions for battery solutions in the Nordic markets improved during the year The market for products in electrical installation, which was weak during part of the financial year, showed signs of a greater willingness to invest during the final quarter. 14
Addtech Industrial Solutions 12 months 4th quarter Net sales 1,173 2% 318 8% EBIT 93 0% 30 9% ROS 7.9% 8.1% 9.3% 9.3% Following a relatively weak third quarter, demand in the latest quarter stood at a favourable level. Business conditions for the business area continue to differ extensively between different geographical markets and product areas. The business climate for products to the special vehicles industry has become more positive, but remains weaker in the mining segment. Demand from customers in forestry, paper and pulp improved in Sweden, but it was subdued in other markets. Sales were stable regarding electric motor solutions, products in polymer materials in the Danish market and machinery components and production equipment to industrial aftermarket customers. 15
Addtech Life Science 12 months 4th quarter Net sales 1,393 22% 374 14% EBIT 125 16% 25-8% ROS 9.0% 9.5% 6.7% 8.3% The business area enjoyed good growth in earnings during the financial year despite a, relatively speaking, weaker result in Q4. For the business area as a whole, demand continued to grow during the final quarter. Sales of diagnostic equipment and reagents to the Nordic healthcare sector were stable during the quarter, while they increased for measuring and analysis instruments to the Nordic process industry, especially in the marine segment. Demand for equipment and reagents to healthcare laboratories and research laboratories also continued to develop well. 16
