Alrik Danielson, President and CEO:
“Organic sales were relatively unchanged compared to last year. According to seasonality, organic sales were lower compared with the second quarter.
Net sales in the quarter were SEK 17.9 billion, operating profit was SEK 2 191 million and our operating margin was 12.2%. Excluding positive one-time items of SEK 380 million, operating profit was SEK 1 811 million and operating margin was 10.1%.
Our automotive business continues to improve its perform-ance, in line with the ambitions set out in the profit improvement programme which was launched last year, with an operating margin excluding one-time items of 6.6%. Organic sales increased by 4.4% in the quarter compared with the corres-ponding quarter last year, driven mainly by strong growth in Asia.
Our industrial business delivered an operating margin, excluding one-time items of 11.7%, a continued resilient per-formance. Although the rate of decline in demand in North America and Asia has diminished, market conditions continued to be challenging during the third quarter.
Cash flow generation was a solid SEK 1 816 million in the quarter, excluding the effects from divestments.
Investments in the implementation of world-class manufacturing technologies in our spherical roller bearing factories in Gothenburg and Flowery Branch are progressing as planned. Similar technologies and processes are to be introduced across other product lines as part of our strategy to improve the flexibility and cost-competitiveness of our factories.
Entering the fourth quarter of 2016, demand for our products and services is expected to be relatively unchanged both compared to the same period last year and sequentially.”
