5 years
As a means of transport, the train has a number of advantages. Good for the environment, comfortable, easy and cost-effective – to name just a few. During 2014, Swedish railways carried more than 200 million passengers and transported around 68,000 tonnes of freight, with marginal environmental impact. For those who take our shared environmental challenges seri-ously, rail transport is the unrivalled alternative. Punctuality and safety are essential when it comes to both passenger and freight transport. A lack of punctuality means high costs to society. In addition to the economic cost, poor punctuality runs the severe risk that for their next journey or consignment the customer will opt for an alternative method of transport – one that will have considerably greater impact on the environment. But efficiently run train services very much need all players to do their job. Euromaint’s role is to ensure that the trains are in the proper condition and maintained to schedule, so that they can go into service when they are supposed to. This is a task we take extremely seriously each and every day, and it gives us great pride.

PASSENGER TRAFFIC
According to the Swedish government agency Transport Analysis, around 15 train operators have approximately 2,700 carriages in service on Swedish railways, with around 200 million journeys being made in them. An important aspect of endeavouring to boost confidence in the train as a means of transport is better punc-tuality. For this, one among many prerequisites is that train maintenance should be performed in the right manner and at the right time, and this is where Euromaint plays a major role. The company offers rolling stock maintenance, component maintenance and material supply for multiple units, locomotives and passenger carriages. The company’s industrialised process ensures the highest quality and efficiency. Customers include A-Train, Botniatåg, DB, SJ, Tågkompaniet and Veolia.

COMMENTS FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD AND CEO
Work on continuous improvement shows results
2014 ended on a high note with a new contract from Green Cargo. This was followed at the very beginning of the new year by an order that our German operations received from the Italian com-pany EAV. Our intensive work on improvements has started to show results and we are continuing to work systematically towards achieving further improvements throughout the business.
Green Cargo decided to enhance its collaboration with Euromaint by signing a 10-year contract for some of the maintenance of its electric and diesel locomotives and components. The Italian contract, which involves a commitment from us to renovate and modernise 12 items of rolling stock, gives the company access to a new and interesting market. Italy has many train operators and a rather ageing train fleet. The potential is immense. It is also worth noting that, despite the fact that price counts for so much within the industry, we won the contract primarily due to recogni-tion of our high quality. Hopefully there is now increasing under-standing of the importance of quality in maintaining safety on the railways.
From a financial point of view, Euromaint has had a better year compared to 2013, but we still have a bit to go before we reach a satisfactory level. Revenue fell by 5.9 per cent, amounting to SEK 2,274 million (2,416). The situation on the German market, where economic conditions remain poor, has affected profits for the year, but orders won during 2014 will start to make themselves felt in earnings for the second half of 2015. The Swedish opera-tions showed a reduction of 7.8 per cent. The operating profit (EBITA), adjusted for expenses affecting comparability, was SEK 77 million (67).
Euromaint has worked systematically on maintaining its strong position. This has meant, for instance, continuing its work within the four focus areas of stability, profitability, image and growth. One consequence of the changed conditions is that a number of employees have unfortunately had to leave the company, mainly in administration. It is never pleasant to have to reduce the
“Looking ahead, it is my hope that in 2015 we may see the beginning of a more serious commitment to infrastructure investments.”
Euromaint is always seeking to lead this development and be industry leader – primarily in Sweden – but we also want to achieve a strong market position in Germany. Improving and increasing productivity is important in an industry that, despite growth, has profitability prob-lems for players in both freight and passenger traffic.
During 2014, Euromaint carried on the process of making itself more competitive with continual change work at all levels of the com-pany. This work takes place in close cooperation with customers, and over the year we have been able to note further improvement in avail-ability for our customers, the train operators.
We develop our competence on an ongoing basis and use new tech-nology in the maintenance work. During the year we have also made significant investments in IT and our workshops. The aim is to meet the requirements for high quality at a competitive price and provide customers with the best possible availability for their trains and rolling stock and thus increase their revenue.
Looking ahead, it is my hope that in 2015 we may see the beginning of a more serious approach to infrastructure investments. Without investments and refurbishment of the rail network, we will not in future have access to a functioning and, not least, safe domestic rail network, which is of course absolutely critical if we are to see the industry develop in a positive direction.
Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all employees of Euromaint as well as to our customers and business partners.

COMMENTS FROM THE CEO
number of employees, but we have worked closely with the union and supported the individual employees in the transitional period.
If we continue to improve operations, develop and adhere to existing processes, and cooperate with each other within the company as well as with our customers, the potential for further improvement of our profit situation is in my view good.
In addition to working on reducing the company’s costs, we have also invested in making ourselves both more attractive and more efficient. We have listened to our customers and seen that the needs of the market have changed. One of the things we saw early on was that the demand for rapid reprocessing of bogies was set to grow. Our new bogie workshop in Örebro, which opened for business mid-year, is a very timely development. By halving the lead time, we attracted customers and achieved full capacity uti-lisation.
To create a more stable delivery, we have also worked further on implementing a new business system. We are now in the end phase of this long, resource-heavy
work, but in view of the gains it will deliver, the effort has been worth it. The system will allow us greater control of the entire operation, and this in turn will lead to fur-ther improvements in maintenance quality. During the year we have also highlighted responsibility and sustainability issues in our dialogue with employees. All employ-ees have undergone training in our Code of Conduct. Ultimately it is a question of becoming a better business partner for our customers and thereby a company that creates value for all our stakeholders.
The year has also seen challenges, linked in particular to the business environ-ment. Increased competition, combined with lower maintenance needs for a num-ber of customers, has led to telling changes for the rail industry. From being a fully state-financed industry, completely devoid of competition, it has become an industry with cut-throat competition among opera-tors and maintenance providers alike, requiring both flexibility and low overheads. The rail industry is now change-driven, with all players having to work continuously on improvements. It is no longer a place for the change-averse.
During 2015 we expect to see a number of major and important procurements. Euromaint is ready and equipped for these, thanks to the systematic improve-ment work that has been undertaken over recent years. We are developing our work-ing practices and processes, we are learn-ing lessons from the mistakes that have been made and we always put the cus-tomer’s safety and delivery first.
Our day-to-day work involves us in the continuous improvement of our opera-tion, while at the same time we have to ensure that our deliveries leave the work-shops on time, whether it’s night or day, weekday or weekend, summer or winter. I would like to thank all Euromaint’s employees who, through their efforts, make this possible.

Ove BergkvistPresident and CEO
Over recent years, Euromaint’s modern and industrialised maintenance process has contributed to significant improvements in delivery quality and greater availability as regards X2000, for instance. This has been achieved thanks to the close partnership with the customer and systematic internal cooperation.

OBJECTIVES, STRATEGY AND OUTCOME, INCLUDING SUSTAINABILITY
More cooperation leads to higher efficiency and sustainable results
The numbers of passengers and volumes of freight carried on the railways have increased over the past year. At the same time, eco-nomic conditions in the train maintenance market remain poor. Euromaint’s general strate-gic direction is clear. The aim is to be a stable business partner capable of providing high-quality maintenance solutions in order to ensure that customers’ rolling stock is maintained and can run according to plan.
The rail sector is still undergoing the structural change that started with dere-gulation. More players have appeared on the market. This shows that the train as a means of transport for both people and freight is a market with future potential. At the same time, competition means that rationalisation is needed in order to achieve improved efficiency and profitabi-lity. The maintenance needs of rolling stock are determined by developments in traffic, and these in turn are affected by changing market conditions.
In Sweden, Trafikverket (the Swedish Transport Administration) estimates that rail passenger traffic will grow by an average of around 1.4 per cent per year. According to Eurostat, rail passenger traffic in Ger-many has grown by an average of 1.8 per cent per year. The assessment here is also that the rate of growth seen in recent years will continue in the years ahead. Freight traffic is affected by changing market con-ditions to an even greater degree. In order to cope with fluctuations in demand for rail freight transport, rail hauliers such as Green Cargo in Sweden and DB in Germany regulate the number of locomotives and freight wagons that are in operation. This means that the demand for maintenance also varies over time.
Euromaint’s passenger traffic customers in particular expect the same high quality of maintenance work as ever, but at increas-ingly lower cost, despite an ageing rolling stock fleet. At the same time, the open market means that new operators with new, modern rolling stock are operating on our railways. This offers good opportunities for companies that have the right experience and expertise and that continuously develop their maintenance process and sourcing to match new needs and demands. Euromaint is that kind of company.
Maintenance market players range from small local niche maintenance partners to big global train manufacturers, offering maintenance solutions as additional ser-vices. In addition, some train operators opt to handle their maintenance themselves in their own workshops. This is particularly common in Germany.
The contract periods for rail traffic services put out to tender are often long. During the procurement process, an important task for the operator is to demonstrate how set targets are to be achieved. This means that methods used and the way rolling stock maintenance is approached are important factors when it comes to winning the contract. Strong competition, combined with the long contract periods, means that the consequences of losing a strategic procurement will affect the busi-ness for a long time to come. As competi-tion for traffic and maintenance becomes more intense, increased pressure on prices is also evident on the market. The conse-quences of winning a contract based on unrealistic pricing can however be disas-trous for both parties – and, in the final analysis, the passengers. For the industry, it is important to create a sustainable model where quality, safety and comfort are not forgotten in the rush to reduce costs and increase profitability.
Clear direction for a stronger positionIn order to be a competitive business partner for our customers, an attractive investment option for shareholders and a company that takes responsibility for its operations and employees, since 2011 Euromaint has pursued four focus areas: stability, profitability, image and growth. During the course of 2014, work to ensure long-term sustainability has intensified. The process of change is primarily about continuously improving the quality of cus-tomer deliveries, but also about reducing fixed costs. This will provide an opportunity for us to streamline further and become more competitive.
Euromaint’s adjusted profitability target is to achieve an annual EBITA margin of five per cent in the long term. The EBITA margin was 2.5 per cent (1.0). The saving measures undertaken since 2012, which continued throughout 2013 and 2014, have gradually produced results in the form of both lower costs and a more flexible cost base. These measures concern efficiency improvements, primarily within adminis-
Efficiency improvements throughout the entire company have reduced the proportion of fixed costs, and during 2014 the EBITA margin improved from 1.0 per cent to 2.5 per cent. The change process continues with a view to achieving the EBITA margin target of 5 per cent over time.
Net revenue 2010–2014SEK millions
Net revenue fell by 6 per cent during 2014. Revenue for Swedish operations, which accounts for 75 per cent of total revenue, showed a reduction of 8.4 per cent. Reve-nue from foreign operations increased by 1 per cent.

OBJECTIVES, STRATEGY AND OUTCOME, INCLUDING SUSTAINABILITY
At the start of 2014, Euromaint was commissioned by Tågkompaniet (TKAB) to carry out maintenance until 2024 on the Regina trains TKAB ope-rates on behalf of X-trafik as of 15 June 2014. The maintenance is carried out at Euromaint’s workshop in Gävle. Euromaint has for some time been working with TKAB on Tåg i Bergslagen, and in the last few years has been awarded several maintenance cont-racts for Regina trains.
trative functions, as well as making changes to operations at facilities where mainte-nance and/or refurbishment contracts have come to an end or been lost. During 2014, 46 posts were cut back. A total of 131 employees left Euromaint. A challenge for the Swedish operations has been to bring greater flexibility to the cost base. The need to reduce fixed costs is particularly pressing in Sweden, as rents and charges for the workshops have increased dramat-ically in recent years, even though contracts run for long periods. This is due mainly to a lack of competition and the fact that the state, which owns Jernhusen, prioritises financial returns over the need for all play-ers to actively contribute to better-run train services.
All resources working closely to-gether to acquire more businessOur ambition is to grow long term in Scandinavia and Germany, organically and through acquisitions. Growth will not, how-ever, be at the cost of profitability in each individual business opportunity. Euromaint is focusing its strategic and operational resources entirely on delivering the mar-ket’s most professional maintenance in existing contracts, winning new business and regaining the trust of customers that have tried other maintenance solutions. The aim is that the customer benefit pro-vided by the company’s unique production systems for control and improvement of
maintenance processes should be enjoyed by more customers.
Over the period 2014–2017, around 10 major maintenance contracts in Sweden worth the equivalent of approximately SEK 1.4 billion in annual revenue will be put out to tender. During 2014, Tågkompa-niet chose Euromaint as business partner for the maintenance of the trains operated on behalf of X-trafik, while SJ opted for other business partners for maintenance of roll-ing stock operated on behalf of Västtrafik.
In the next few years a number of major procurements will take place, mainly in Sweden. This creates opportunities for Business Area Passengers. Business Area Work Machines is currently operating in a relatively positive business climate. Oper-ations are focusing on further entrenching Work Machines’ position as trusted pro-vider of maintenance solutions to the play-ers that maintain track and other railway infrastructure, predominantly in Sweden and Norway. Business Area Components has to defend its position and ensure that its operational activities are prepared for the new business opportunities that will arise with the forthcoming overhauls of multiple units. An important investment for future growth has been to rebuild the bogie workshop in Örebro. The time needed to complete a bogie overhaul has more than halved from 15 days to an aver-age of seven. This is an important com-petitive advantage.
In Germany, the freight operation has to focus on profitable overhauls, and the passenger operation on acquiring business in the field of heavier maintenance, such as overhauls of multiple units, EMU/DMU trains (Electric Multiple Unit and Diesel Multiple Unit) and rolling stock modifications. Availability contracts, as they are known, will not be a focus area for the German passenger operation over the next few years. In addition, warranty work, i.e. dealing with faults on rolling stock in connection with rolling stock deliveries, as well as during the warranty period, will also involve new and interest-ing business opportunities.

2014 saw Euromaint complete the contract to refurbish 55 2nd class pas-senger carriages for SJ. The contract was a continuation of the refurbish-ment of 160 carriages completed by Euromaint in 2009–2011. The refur-bishment was carried out at Euromaint’s workshop in Notviken, Luleå. Some measures were of a cosmetic nature, such as repainting, replacing seats and lighting, and others were more techni-cal, such as emergency brake override, door overhaul and renovation of the vacuum system.
The focus for Euromaint’s work on sustainability is to supply our customers with safe and available trains, to provide a safe working environment for our employees and to reduce our environmental impact. Sustainability work is gov-erned by the UN Global Compact’s 10 principles, the owner’s priori-ties and the company’s vision, mission and risk analysis.
Euromaint’s mission is to make the train the natural means of transport to meet the environmental challenges of tomorrow. Rail transport of passengers and freight is by far the most environmentally efficient means of transport. It is also a safe way of travelling and transporting freight. To achieve minimum impact on the environ-ment and the best possible safety, a mod-ern and industrialised maintenance pro-cess has been developed, where the focus is on quality, safety and environment. The objective for not only the ongoing change processes but also the work on sustaina-bility is to reduce the risks inherent in the operations and also boost confidence in Euromaint in the market.
The right prerequisites and individual initiativeDelivering safe trains starts with Euromaint employees being able to carry out the work in a safe working environment, having the right skills, clear instructions and protec-tive equipment that is fit for purpose. Each individual workshop performs its risk assessments based on the specific assign-ments being carried out. In addition, any incidents that occur are always followed up, so as to ensure they will not reoccur and that the working environment is continu-ously being improved. The maintenance work is ring-fenced by rigorous and specific requirements governing safety and the necessary skills. Separate requirements
are imposed for all rolling stock types and different maintenance work demands dif-ferent safety levels. This means that the employees need to undergo internal roll-ing stock and safety training on an ongo-ing basis in order to be properly qualified to work on existing and new contracts.
A value-creating cultureIn order to build a healthy, modern corpo-rate culture, Euromaint has both developed and implemented its core values of coop-eration, responsibility, contribution and reliability as well as a Code of Conduct that all company employees must adhere to in their everyday work. Over the past two years, all employees have been trained in both the Code of Conduct as well as other issues related to responsibility and sustain-ability. The company is heavily committed to these issues, and the internal change processes are continuing with undimin-ished enthusiasm so as to develop a cul-ture that takes pride in delivering value to customers, owners, employees and society in general.
Planning improves availability, quality and safetyEuromaint has to be a reliable business partner from the moment a contract is signed to when delivery is made and the invoice issued. By continually keeping our customer promises in the areas of quality, delivery and innovation, the company cre-ates the conditions to win new contracts from existing customers and attract new ones. These days there is not always spare capacity in the form of locomotives, wa- gons or carriages and high-value compo-nents such as wheels, bogies and traction motors. Rolling stock must therefore be maintained as efficiently as possible with-out compromising on quality or safety. Euromaint works with its customers to shorten the time spent in the workshop. This cooperation enables the undertaking of very precise maintenance planning. Ulti-mately it is a question of creating a pleasant travelling experience for the customers of our customers, i.e. the passengers, with comfortable trains that run on time. It is

All of Euromaint’s Swedish workshops are quality certified to ISO 9001. The traffic safety and quality work comprises mainly audits, safety meetings and certified training. In practice, this means that Euromaint’s working prac-tices meet the Swedish Transport Agency’s and customer requirements that all traffic safety factors must be reviewed in systematic fashion. At the inter-nal training centre, employees are trained to ensure they are always properly qualified for their work tasks. All employees also undergo regular health checks and drug tests.

important that the workshop has the proper resources in place to deliver effi-cient, high-quality maintenance and that trains arrive at the workshop at the right time. It is also important that Euromaint should be able to deal with unforeseen events as and when they arise.
Risk-managed environmental work with a strong local commitmentMaintaining trains in a way that is as safe and environmentally friendly as possible is part of the normal day-to-day routine at Euromaint’s workshops. The local environ-mental work in each workshop is based on careful risk inventories and a programme of action which is monitored regularly. During the course of 2014, a method has been established which aims to systemat-ically document all locally identified risks and those measures which have been implemented. This will create a common knowledge bank that allows comparisons and knowledge to be exchanged between different workshops. The aim is to strengthen the local environmental work and to develop management as well as goals and follow-up work going forward. The priority areas for the environmental work are energy consumption, the handling of chemicals and landfill waste. These have been selected on the basis of the risk inven-tories drawn up by each individual work-shop and the business-related priorities decided at company level. The latter have their basis mainly in customer require-ments, cost-efficiencies and the vision that rail transport should be the natural means of transport for meeting the environmental challenges of tomorrow.
There is a limited number of workshops in Sweden. Many of them are getting on in years, designed at a time when environ-mental issues did not have the priority they do today. Bringing down electricity consump-tion in the premises has been a priority for a number of years. Euromaint is therefore engaged in ongoing dialogue with the work-shop property managers. Action already taken includes regulating temperatures so that they remain more constant regardless of time of day, the kind of work undertaken in the premises or the time of year. An important measure has been to minimise
the time the doors stand open. In addition, light fittings have been replaced with more energy-efficient alternatives, and a review has been undertaken of the workshops’ compressed air systems with a view to min-imising leakage from hoses and couplings. During the period 2007–2014, energy con-sumption decreased by 4.8 million kWh, or 20 per cent. This equates to the amount required to heat around 200 detached houses, and represents a cost saving of approximately SEK 4.8 million. The target for 2014 was to reduce energy consumption by 3 per cent. The outcome was a reduction of 5.5 per cent. Approaching 2015, the tar-get is to achieve a reduction of 3 per cent. Euromaint has been sorting its maintenance waste since 2006 and waste handed over for landfill has decreased markedly since then. In 2014, around 22 tonnes were handed over for landfill, a reduction of 25 per cent compared to the 2013 figure. This relates mainly to complex waste consisting of combined fraction groups.
Currently around 1,200 different chemi-cals in total are used in Euromaint’s work-shops. Reducing use of chemicals is impor-tant in order to both lower the environmental impact of maintenance and create a better working environment. Chemicals are cate-gorised at different risk levels, where lev-els 4 and 5 indicate that the agent may be harmful to people and the environment. All chemicals are handled in accordance with a detailed set of rules and all employ-ees involved are trained so as to ensure correct handling. Euromaint’s aim is to replace chemicals from levels 4 and 5 with alternatives that are more environmentally friendly. This is a process that takes place in dialogue with customers and the various workshops. Because chemicals required for rolling stock maintenance are specified in the maintenance instructions the man-ufacturers have provided, Euromaint can-not choose more environmentally friendly alternatives until the customer has approved the replacement and updated the mainte-nance instructions. At the start of 2014, Euromaint was using 217 chemicals cate-gorised as belonging to level 4 or 5. During 2014, Euromaint discontinued the use of a total of 15 of these chemicals, which is a reduction of 7 per cent.

AFFÄRSOMRÅDEN
Four business areas focusing on value-creating partnershipsEuromaint conducts operations in four busi-ness areas. Their task is to use common core values and customer promises to establish value-creating partnerships and create maxi-mum profitability in each part of the total offering.
PASSENGERSThe business area offers a complete maintenance concept for rolling stock to train operators, rolling stock owners and public transport author-ities. The customers can purchase either all or parts of the maintenance offering, everything from light maintenance to full service commitments, including reprocessing and overhauls. The payment model often uses a full service commitment based on the customers’ rolling stock being available for traffic. In practice, this sees the customers paying according to the number of kilometres travelled by the trains. Euromaint and cus-tomers thus have a clear shared incentive for the rolling stock to be used in service. The business area is also responsible for the Swedish offering within maintenance of rolling stock for freight traffic.
FREIGHT/GERMANYThe business area has a comprehensive range of maintenance services for freight rolling stock and an offering under development for rail passenger rolling stock in the German market. The offering covers planned and remedial maintenance (both in the workshop and by mobile units) and completion of wagons, as well as overhauls, refurbishments and reprocessing of compo-nents. The planned maintenance is based on framework agreements that define the actions to be carried out in accordance with an established maintenance plan. Remedial damage maintenance is carried out either against tender or on a running account basis. Major and more far-reaching actions, such as overhauls and refurbishments, always follow established maintenance plans.
Number of employees on 31 Dec: 789 (849). Business Area Manager: Robert Lehmann.Examples of customers: AAE, Aretz, BASF, DB, Ermewa, GATX, Nacco, TWA, VTG, Wascosa. Workshops/facilities: Delitzsch, Duisburg, Ingolstadt, Kaiserslauten, Leipzig, Oberhausen, Wolfsburg, Wustermark, Antwerpen, Rotterdam.
COMPONENTSThe business area offers reprocessing of components and complete material supply to all types of customers in the rail transport industry, everything from stock-keeping to intelligent logistics solutions and the sale of spare parts. As a logistics supplier, the business area generates income from contracts that can cover parts of the supply chain or complete responsibility for the supply of spare parts and reprocessed components. The business area not only maintains external cus-tomer relationships with train operators and other maintenance companies, it also fulfils a role as
supplier to Euromaint’s other business areas with regard to reprocessing of components and provision of spare parts. The business area has its own warehouse, stocking approx. 55,000 items for maintenance of rolling stock.
Number of employees on 31 Dec: 399 (288). Business Area Manager: Ingela Erlinghult. Examples of customers: Alstom, Arriva, Bombardier, Inlandsbanan, JBV, Metro, Transitio, TRV, Tågab, other business areas within Euromaint. Workshops/facilities: Jelgava, Åmål, Örebro.
WORK MACHINESThe Work Machines business area offers a complete maintenance programme for machines and tools used for mainte-nance and construction of the railway infrastructure, such as track and over-head lines. The business model consists either of framework agreements that contain fixed actions, which are usually sub-ordered by the customer, plus ser-vice packages based on the machines’ running hours, or an administration agreement. Corrective maintenance and mobile maintenance are carried out either against tender or on a running account basis.
Number of employees on 31 Dec: 39 (36). Business Area Manager: Gustav Jansson. Examples of customers: Jernbaneverket, SL, Strukton.Workshops/facilities: Stockholm, Åmål.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Directors’ report
The Board of Directors and the CEO of Euromaint Gruppen AB, Corp. ID number 556731-5402, with registered office in Stockholm, hereby submit the Annual Report for operational activities during the financial year 2014.
ShareholdersEuromaint Gruppen AB is a wholly-owned subsidiary of EMaint AB, company registration number 556731-5378, with registered office in Stockholm, which is owned by Ratos AB. Euromaint Gruppen AB acquired 100 per cent of Euromaint AB on 1 September 2007 from the previous owner AB Swedcarrier.
Operations and organisationEuromaint strengthens its customers’ competitiveness through services and products that increase the availability, reliability and ser-vice life of production equipment in the rail transport industry.
Through operational activities in Euromaint Rail AB, Euromaint can be found throughout Sweden, from Luleå in the north to Malmö in the south, in Jelgava in Latvia, and since 2010 in Germany and the Netherlands. The head office is in Solna.
The business environmentRail is a central part of the European infrastructure for the transport of passengers and freight. It is a common interest for the EU as a solution to many of the challenges facing Europe as it tries to provide for sustainable development. National rail systems are being opened up in accordance with the EU’s principles on free movement and free competition. This is a process that has reached different stages in different countries. Passenger traffic is still largely a national ques-tion, while the EU has long worked to create the conditions for a well- functioning pan-European rail freight market. A deregulated market benefits Euromaint in its role as an independent player for mainte-nance, without links to train operators or manufacturers. In Sweden, Trafikverket (the Swedish Transport Administration) estimates that rail passenger traffic will grow by an average of around 1.4 per cent per year. According to Eurostat, rail passenger traffic in Germany has grown by an average of 1.8 per cent per year. The assessment here is also that the rate of growth seen in recent years will continue in the years ahead. Freight traffic is affected by economic conditions to an even greater degree. In order to cope with fluctuations in demand for rail freight transport, rail hauliers such as Green Cargo in Sweden and DB in Germany adjust the number of locomotives and freight wagons that are in operation. This means that the demand for maintenance also varies over time. In 2014 a still weak freight economy continued to negatively affect revenue in Sweden. However, the perception is that Euromaint has not lost shares of the total markets.
Competitiveness In order to be a competitive business partner for our customers, an attractive investment option for shareholders and a company that takes responsibility for its operations and employees, since 2011 Euromaint has pursued four focus areas: stability, profitability, image and growth. During the course of 2014, work to ensure long-term sustainability has intensified. The process of change is primarily about continuously improving the quality of our delivery to the cus-tomer, but also about endeavouring to reduce fixed costs. This will provide an opportunity for us to streamline further and become more competitive. Euromaint is an independent supplier of maintenance services, which is an important factor in making us an attractive busi-ness partner. Our business model makes it clear that, as an independ-ent partner, the company shares the same goals as the customer when it comes to optimising activities for increased profitability.
EmployeesThe average number of employees in the Group was 2,126 (2,282).
Environmental impactCommon to all of Euromaint Rail AB’s production areas is that their main environmental impact is on air and water and, to a certain extent, soil. Its activities are classified as environmentally hazardous, and require reporting to the environmental authorities. The environ-mental authorities decide whether the degree of environmental haz-ard requires licensing or reporting. If Euromaint Rail AB does not receive the environmental licences required for production, this can limit the company’s ability to fulfil its commitments to its customers. If there is a short delay in licences being issued, it is possible to switch workshop activities in order to limit economic damage. Euromaint Rail AB’s units are obliged to submit reports in accordance with the Ordinance concerning Environmentally-Hazardous Activities and the Protection of Public Health (1998:899). Notifiable activities carried out by Euromaint Rail AB include rolling stock cleaning, painting, de-icing, the handling of diesel fuel, etc.
SustainabilityThe focus for Euromaint’s work on sustainability is to supply our customers with safe and available trains, to provide a safe working environment for our employees and to reduce our environmental impact. Sustainability work is governed by the UN Global Compact’s 10 principles, the owner’s priorities and the company’s vision, mission and risk analysis. In order to build a healthy, modern corporate culture, Euromaint has both developed and implemented its core values of cooperation, responsibility, contribution and reliability as well as a Code of Conduct that all company employees must adhere to in their everyday work. Over the past two years, all employees have been trained in both the Code of Conduct as well as other issues related to responsibility and sustainability. The local working environment in each workshop is based on careful risk inventories and a programme of action which is monitored regularly. During the course of 2014, a method has been established which aims to systematically document all locally identified risks and those measures which have been imple-mented. This will create a common knowledge bank that allows comparisons and knowledge to be exchanged between different workshops. The aim is to strengthen local environmental work and to develop management as well as goals and follow-up work going forward.
Risks and uncertainty factorsThe Group’s companies have a customer structure in which a few customers account for a large proportion of the Group’s revenue. The loss of one major customer, or a significant customer contract, would result in considerable demands for an adjustment of the companies’ operational activities to match the reduced revenue. During a transi-tional period, the profitability of companies would be reduced in any such scenario. However, as customer relationships often include several different contract territories with varying contract lengths, this risk is distributed over time.
The Group and the industry in general are affected by the weather conditions, where severe winters with restricted passability for rail traffic could affect costs. Otherwise, the company is affected by the general trends in demand and market conditions in each industry.

Financial instruments and risk managementThrough its operations, Euromaint is exposed to financial risks, including the effect of changes in prices on the loan and capital mar-
15EuroMaint Annual Report 2014
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
kets, exchange rates and interest rates. The Group’s overall risk manage-ment focuses on the unpredictability of the financial markets and aims at minimising potentially unfavourable effects on the Group’s financial results. Financial operations in the Group are centralised in Euromaint Rail AB’s finance function, which is responsible for the sourcing of capital, cash management and financial risk management. The oper-ational activities are regulated through the Group’s financial policy.
The following important financial risks are dealt with:Market risksThe risk that the value of, or future cash flows from, a financial instrument will vary due to changes in market prices. Currency risk and interest rate risk constitute market risks.
Currency risksCurrency risk refers to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations nega-tively affecting the Group’s income statement, balance sheet and/or cash flows. Currency risks exist, both in the form of transaction risks and translation risks.
Interest rate risksInterest rate risks refer to the risk of a negative effect on the Group’s financial results resulting from changes in market interest rates.
Other risksCredit riskCredit risk is the risk generated by the fact that the credit rating of the investor’s counterparty can change in an unpredictable manner, thereby resulting in a loss for the Group.
Liquidity and refinancing riskRefinancing risks refer to the risk that the refinancing of mature loans will become difficult or costly and that Euromaint will thereby have difficulty fulfilling its payment obligations. Liquidity risk refers to the risk of difficulty in fulfilling the obligations associated with financial liabilities.
For more information about financial risks, see Note 18.
Events of material significance in the financial yearDuring 2014, Swedish operations have been affected by reduced demand for freight maintenance, as freight operators have chosen to significantly limit locomotive maintenance, citing underlying market conditions. One consequence of these changed conditions is that we have had to modify our cost structure during 2014, which has resulted in a number of employees leaving the company. Within the passenger business, work to develop our maintenance concept and enhance quality as well as helping existing customers with suggestions for improvement has continued. This has resulted in good delivery, good availability and stronger margins. On the contract side, SJ has chosen to terminate its existing maintenance contract on its entire passenger fleet of X40, X2000 and X3000 carriages as well as passenger carriages where Euromaint currently maintains three of the four fleets. The notice period runs for 18 months and expires in March 2016. Pro-curement of new contracts is in progress and Euromaint intends to tender for all fleets.
German operations have continued to be characterised by weak market conditions for freight traffic, which together with a slightly reduced margin in the passenger business has given rise to negative developments in both profit and cash flow in 2014. Despite a less than satisfactory profit, the year ended positively with a significant order from the Italian train operator EAV that will be delivered during 2015.
Future developmentEuromaint has a strong position in the Swedish train maintenance market. Together with its extensive operations in Germany, this means that Euromaint is well established in the increasingly deregulated Euro-pean rail market. Changes in maintenance strategies among the German freight transporters mean that Euromaint needs to adjust its German
freight operation and take a closer look at the possibility of increasing its share of the maintenance of passenger carriages. Euromaint is already the leading independent player for train maintenance in Europe and, thanks to its position, Euromaint has good opportunities to take advantage of the ongoing deregulation of the train operator market in Europe. A large number of passenger contracts will be awarded in both Sweden and Germany during the course of 2015.
Euromaint has identified a number of areas that must be fulfilled in order to attract current and potential customers; these areas constitute the Group’s customer promises. The focus areas are:Stability – be a stable partner and operate a stable businessProfitability – create profitable growth, good control of costs and strong cash flowImage – strengthen the market’s confidence by standing for quality, delivery and innovationGrowth – grow in the Nordic countries as well as in the rest of Europe, organically and through acquisitions
Based on these areas, Euromaint wants to further strengthen its position on the market.

Note 1 | Accounting and valuation policies
This annual report and the consolidated financial statements were adopted by the Board and the CEO on 4 March 2015, and are proposed for final adop-tion by the Annual General Meeting on 25 March 2015.
Ratos formed the Euromaint Gruppen AB on 25 April 2007. Euromaint Gruppen AB acquired Euromaint AB on 1 September 2007.
The parent company is a registered limited liability company domiciled in Stockholm. The address for the head office is Svetsarvägen 10, SE-171 41 Solna, Sweden. The parent company in the largest group to which Euromaint Gruppen AB, 556731-5402 is a subsidiary, and in which the Consolidated Financial Statements are drawn up, is Ratos AB, 556008-3585, Stockholm.
The most important accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are listed below and have been applied consistently to all periods unless otherwise stated. The Group’s accounting policies have also been consistently applied by Group companies.
Statement of compliance with applicable regulationsEuromaint Gruppen’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and International Finan-cial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Stand-ards Board (IASB) and interpretations from the International Financial Report-ing Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as they both have been adopted by the EU.
The Consolidated Financial Statements are also prepared according to the Swedish Financial Reporting Board’s Recommendation RFR 1. (Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups). The accounting policies relating to the parent company correspond to the policies for the Group except as shown below under the heading The Parent Company. The parent company’s Annual Report is prepared in accordance with the Swedish Financial Reporting Board Recom-mendation RFR 2 (Accounting for legal entities) and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
Basis of preparation of the statementsThe accounts are based on historical acquisition costs, apart from certain financial instruments. For further information on this point, please consult the section Financial Instruments, below.
Important estimates and assumptions for accounting purposesThe preparation of statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of a number of estimates and assumptions about the future; these are made by the company management. The estimates for accounting purposes that result will, by definition, rarely correspond to the actual results.
Estimates and assumptions are reviewed regularly. Changes to estimates are reported in the period in which the change is made if the change only affects this period, or in the period in which the change is made and future periods if the change affects both the current period and future periods.
Uncertainty in estimatesSome assumptions about the future and certain estimates and assumptions at the balance sheet date have special significance for the valuation of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet. Discussed below are the areas where the risk of changes in value during the following year is greatest due to the need to change assumptions or estimates.
Goodwill impairment testingGoodwill arising from business combinations represents the difference be-tween the acquisition cost and the fair value of the acquired identifiable net assets. Impairment testing for goodwill is performed once a year. The recover-able amount (i.e. the higher of value in use and fair value less selling expenses) is normally established based on the value in use, derived using discounted cash flow calculations. This in turn requires the expected future cash flow from the cash-generating unit to be estimated and an appropriate discount rate is established for calculating the cash flow’s present value.
Pension obligationsThe value of pension obligations for defined benefit pension plans is based on actuarial calculations using assumptions regarding discount rates, expected returns on plan assets, future salary increases, inflation and demographic conditions.
Obsolescence of inventoriesIn value terms, inventories consist mainly of items acquired according to an estimated maintenance plan for different train models. Since these cycles are long-term (5–12 years), there is an uncertainty in the assessment. The com-pany has an obligation to stock items (spare parts) over a long period for individual train models, which have a very long economic and technical life.
Percentage of completion accounting methodWith the percentage of completion accounting method there is uncertainty, as the work runs for several years, in predicting the final financial outcome of a major refurbishment project. Reconciliation is therefore made during the period from the beginning of the project until completion, but because this consumes both time and money, this is only performed a certain number of times during the year.
Provision for warranties for work carried outFor so-called availability work, faults in a provided service or a non-functioning product are corrected during a short period after the service has been provided. The cost of the work or replacement of a non-functioning product is included in the agreed business deal.
For refurbishment work, there is a need for warranties to the customer. These warranties run for two to five years. Since each refurbishment job is a unique part of the company’s operations and cannot be compared with any other refurbishment job, the cost for warranties is difficult to assess. The com-pany tries to estimate the warranty costs that may arise, and make provisions for these, but some uncertainty remains over the final outcome.
Changed accounting policiesNew and changed IFRS applied with effect from 1 January 2014 have not had a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements.
New IFRS that have not yet been appliedA number of new and changed IFRS only come into force in the next financial year and have not been applied in advance when preparing these financial state-ments. There are no plans to apply future requirements or changes in advance.– IFRS 9 Financial Instruments is intended to replace IAS 39 Financial
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 will enter into force on 1 January 2018 and early application is permitted provided the standard is adopted by the EU.
Other new and amended IFRS with future application (listed below) are not expected to have any material impact on the company’s financial statements.– Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28: Sale or Contribution of Assets between
an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture– Amendments to IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements: Accounting for Acquisitions
of Interests in Joint Operations– IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers– Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41: Bearer Plants– Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38: Clarification of Acceptable Methods of
Depreciation and Amortisation– Amendments to IAS 19 Employee Benefits: Defined Benefit Plans: Employee
Contributions– Amendments to IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements: Equity Method in
Separate Financial Statements– IFRIC 21 Levies– Annual improvements to IFRS (2010–2012), (2011–2013), (2012–2014)
Consolidated financial statements Euromaint Gruppen’s income statement and balance sheet comprise all the companies over which the parent company directly or indirectly exercises a controlling interest. A controlling interest means the right to directly or indi-rectly shape a company’s financial and operating strategies in order to obtain economic benefits. A controlling interest arises when a shareholding totals more than half of the voting rights. When assessing if there is significant influ-ence, potential voting shares that can be used or converted without delay are taken into consideration.
Intra-group transactions and balance sheet items, as well as profit on trans-actions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated, unless the transaction provides evidence that there is an impair-ment requirement for the transferred asset.
25EuroMaint Annual Report 2014
NOTES
Consolidation principles and business combinationsSubsidiaries are companies under the control of Euromaint Gruppen AB. Controlling interest means the right to directly or indirectly shape a compa-ny’s financial and operating strategies in order to obtain economic benefits. When assessing if there is a controlling interest, potential voting shares that can be used or converted without delay are taken into consideration.
Acquisitions on 1 January 2010 or laterSubsidiaries are reported according to the acquisition method. This method means that the acquisition of a subsidiary is considered a transaction by means of which the Group indirectly acquires the subsidiary’s assets and takes over its liabilities. The acquisition analysis establishes the fair value on the acquisition date of the acquired identifiable assets and assumed liabilities, as well as any holding without a controlling interest. Transaction fees, with the exception of transaction fees related to the issue of equity instruments or debt instruments, arising are recognised directly in the profit/loss for the year.
When combining businesses where the transferred compensation, possibly a holding without a controlling interest and the fair value of a previously owned share (in the event of phased acquisition) exceeds the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities which are recognised separately, the difference is recognised as goodwill. When the difference is negative, a low price acqui-sition, this is recognised directly in the profit/loss for the year.
Transferred compensation in conjunction with the acquisition does not include payments related to the regulation of previous business relationships. This type of regulation is recognised in earnings.
The company’s acquisitions have not included any conditional purchase sums.
Acquisitions made between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2009For acquisitions made between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2009, where the acquisition cost exceeds the fair value of acquired assets and assumed lia-bilities, as well as contingent liabilities reported separately, the difference is recognised as goodwill. When the difference is negative, this is recognised directly in the profit/loss for the year. Transaction fees, with the exception of transaction fees related to the issue of equity instruments or debt instruments, arising have been included in the acquisition cost.
Foreign currency – translationForeign operations’ financial statementsReceivables and liabilities in foreign operations, including goodwill and other consolidated surplus and deficit values, are translated from the foreign oper-ations’ functional currency to the Group’s reporting currency, the Swedish krona, at the rate on the balance sheet date.
When preparing the consolidated financial statements, all items in the income statement for foreign subsidiaries are recalculated to Swedish krona using the average exchange rates, which constitute an approximation of the exchange rates in force at the time of each transaction during the year. The changes in the Group’s equity arising from different exchange rates on the balance sheet date, compared with the rate on the previous balance sheet date, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulate as a separate component under equity, designated translation reserve. When disposing of foreign activities, the accumulated translation differences attributable to the sold foreign activities are reclassified from equity to profit/loss for the year as a reclassification adjustment at the time when the profit or loss from the sale is recognised.
Transactions in foreign currencyAll subsidiaries use the local currency as their functional currency. Transactions are reported at the rate on the transaction date, which is then translated. Mone-tary assets and liabilities in foreign currency are recalculated to the functional currency at the exchange rate in force on the balance sheet date. Exchange rate differences that arise from these translations are reported in the profit/loss for the year. Non-monetary assets and liabilities reported at historical acquisition cost are translated at the exchange rate at the time of the transac-tion. Non-monetary assets and liabilities reported at fair value are translated into the functional currency at the rate in force at the time of the valuation of fair value. The functional currency of the parent company is Swedish krona which also constitutes the statement currency for the parent company and Group.
Net investment in a foreign operation Monetary non-current receivables to a foreign operation for which no regula-tion is planned, or which will in all probability not take place within the foresee-able future, are in practice part of Euromaint’s net investment in the foreign operation. An exchange rate difference arising in the monetary non-current receivable is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate component in equity, designated translation reserve. When dis-posing of a foreign operation the accumulated exchange rate differences
related to monetary non-current receivables are included in the accumulated translation differences reclassified from the translation reserve in equity to the net profit/loss for the year.
Property, plant and equipmentOwned assetsProperty, plant and equipment is included at acquisition cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. The acquisition cost includes the purchase price and costs directly attributable to the asset, such as the cost for getting it in place and in such a condition that it can be used in accordance with the aim of the acquisition.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is likely that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the acquisition cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other types of repairs and main-tenance are reported as expenses in the income statement during the period in which they arise.
Leased assetsAssets leased under finance lease contracts are recognised as non-current assets in the statement of financial position and are initially measured at the lower of the leased item’s fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments at the start of the contract. The obligation to pay future lease payments is recognised as non-current and current liabilities. The leased assets are depreciated over the useful life of the asset, or if shorter over the agreed leasing period, while lease payments are reported as interest and the amortisation of debt.
The assets that are leased according to operational leasing are not recog-nised as assets in the statement of financial position. Operating lease con-tracts do not give rise to a liability either.
Depreciation/amortisation principlesTo allocate their acquisition cost down to the estimated residual value, there is straight-line depreciation according to plan of property, plant and equipment over the estimated useful life, according to the following percentages per year:
Category Depreciation yearMachinery and equipment 5–10Computers and terminals 3Improvements to leasehold 20
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed on each balance sheet date and are adjusted if necessary. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recovery value (the higher of net realisable value and value in use) if the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its estimated recovery value.
Profits and losses following disposals are determined by comparing the revenue from sales and the carrying amount, and the result is reported in the income statement.
Intangible assetsGoodwillGoodwill represents the amount by which the acquisition cost exceeds the fair value of the Group’s share of the acquired subsidiary’s identifiable net assets on the date of acquisition minus any write-downs. Goodwill is recognised as an intangible asset. Profit or loss on the divestment of a unit includes the remaining carrying amount of the goodwill relating to the divested unit.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units when carrying out testing for impairment, which is done annually. Impairment testing for goodwill is carried out using the following procedure. The goodwill value as determined on the date of acquisition is allocated to cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, which are expected to bring benefits to the company through synergies. Assets and liabilities that already exist in the Group at the time of acquisition can also be attributed to these cash-generating units. Any cash flow of this type to which goodwill is allocated corresponds to the lowest level within the Group at which goodwill is monitored by the company’s man-agement and is not a part of the Group greater than one segment. Impairment is necessary when the recoverable amount for a cash-generating unit (or groups of cash-generating units) is less than the carrying amount. A write-down is then recorded in the income statement.
TechnologyResearch projects or patent rights acquired in a business combination are capitalised and reported at the acquisition cost less amortisation and write-downs.
Subsequent expenses for capitalised intangible assets are reported as an asset in the statement of financial position. Only then do they increase the future economic benefits for the specific asset to which they relate. All other expenses are recorded as a cost when they occur.

NOTES
Depreciation/amortisation principlesAmortisation is reported in the profit/loss for the year over the estimated useful life of the intangible asset, unless such useful lives cannot be deter-mined. The useful lives are re-examined at least once a year. Goodwill and other intangible assets with an uncertain useful life or which are not yet ready for use are tested for impairment annually, and also as soon as indications arise that suggest that the asset in question has reduced in value. Intangible assets with definable useful lives are amortised from the date they are availa-ble for use. The calculated useful lives are:
Category Depreciation yearWorkshop streamlining 10
Impairment of non-financial assets Property, plant and equipment and intangible assetsAssets that have an indefinite useful life are not depreciated, but are tested annually for impairment. The assets which are depreciated are assessed in terms of any need for impairment whenever events or changes in circum-stances indicate that the carrying amount is not recoverable. If it is not possible to significantly determine independent cash flows for an individual asset, and its fair value minus selling expenses cannot be used, the assets are grouped to the lowest level when testing for impairment where it is possible to identify significantly independent cash flows – a so-called cash-generating unit.
A write-down is made according to the amount by which the asset’s carry-ing amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less selling expenses or value in use. When calcu-lating the value in use, future cash flows are discounted by a discount factor that takes into account the risk-free interest rate associated with the specific asset. An impairment is recognised as a cost in the profit/loss for the year. Once impairment losses have been identified for a cash-generating unit, the write-down sum is primarily assigned to goodwill. The other assets included in the unit are then proportionally written down.
An asset, except goodwill, that has previously been written down is exam-ined on each balance sheet date to determine whether a reversal is required.
Financial instrumentsFinancial instruments recognised in the statement of financial position include, on the asset side, cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, derivatives and other receivables. On the liability side are trade payables, loans, derivatives and other liabilities.
A financial asset or financial liability is recognised in the statement of finan-cial position once the company has become a party to the instrument’s con-tractual terms. Trade receivables are recognised in the statement of financial position when the invoice has been sent. Liabilities are entered when the counterparty has delivered and a contractual obligation to pay exists, even if an invoice has not yet been received. Trade payables are entered when an invoice has been received.
A financial asset is derecognised from the statement of financial position when the rights in the contract have been realised, cancelled or the company loses control over it. The same applies to part of a financial asset. A financial liability is derecognised from the statement of financial position when the obligation in the contract has been fulfilled or is otherwise satisfied. The same applies to part of a financial liability.
Acquisitions and divestments of financial assets are reported on the trade date, which is the date on which the company commits to acquire or sell the asset.
Financial instruments and hedge accounting Forward agreements used to hedge currency changes for receivables and liabilities in a foreign currency are valued at the spot price on the day when the currency future is taken up for assessment of the underlying receivable or liability. The difference between the forward rate and the day rate when the agreement is entered into (the arbitrage premium) is amortised over the term of the forward agreement. Amortised arbitrage premiums are reported as interest rate income or an interest rate expense when the future is longer than three months.
Classification of financial instrumentsThe Group classifies its financial instruments into the following categories: financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading and measured at fair value via the income statement, trade receivables, liabilities measured at amortised acquisition cost and derivatives used for hedging purposes. The classification depends on the purpose for which the instrument was acquired. The classification is determined at initial recognition and is reassessed at each reporting date.
Calculation of fair valueWhen the market is not active for a particular financial asset, fair values are calculated through valuation techniques, whereby the Group makes assump-tions based on the market conditions prevailing at the balance sheet date. Market rates of interest form the basis for calculating the fair value of long-term loans. For other financial instruments where the market value is not specified, fair value is considered to correspond with the carrying amount.
Financial assets measured at fair value via the income statement.This category includes financial assets held for trading and those which, from the time of investment, are attributable to the category measured at fair value via the income statement. The Group’s assets in this category consist of de-rivative instruments that are not identified as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they are held for trading or are expected to be realised within 12 months of the balance sheet date. Financial assets measured at fair value via the income statement are valued at their fair value initially, which means that transaction costs burden the income for the period, and following the acquisition date. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in the income statement as financial items in the period in which they occur.
Trade receivablesTrade receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Trade receivables are recog-nised at the acquisition cost less any provision for impairment.
Trade receivables are deemed uncertain when payment is not seen as likely. The impairment losses for receivables are determined based on historic expe-rience of bad debts on similar accounts. Trade receivables with impairment losses are recognised at the present value of expected future cash flows. However, receivables with a short term are not discounted.
Impairments of trade receivables recognised at amortised acquisition cost are reversed if the previous reasons for impairment are no longer valid and full payment from the customer is expected to be received.
Financial liabilities valued at fair value via the income statementThis category includes derivatives with negative fair value that are not used for hedge accounting, and financial liabilities that are held for trading. The liabilities are valued continuously at fair value, which means that transaction costs burden the income for the period, and changes in value are reported in the income statement as a financial item.
Synthetic optionsSynthetic option programmes with market premiums are recognised and measured in accordance with IAS 39. Received premiums are recognised as financial liabilities. When a valuation of the options at fair value through an option pricing model corresponds to the premium the company has received, this means that there is no initial cost to the company. The liability is revalued continuously at fair value by applying an option pricing model, taking the existing conditions into account. Changes in value over the option’s term are reported as a financial item, as well as other income and expenses in respect of financial assets and liabilities. If a synthetic option is exercised by the holder, the financial liability, as previously revalued at fair value, is settled.
Any realised profit is recognised in the income statement as a financial item. If the synthetic options mature without value, the reported liability is recog-nised as income.
BorrowingLoans are initially recognised at the loan sum including transaction costs, and are then reported at amortised acquisition cost applying the effective interest rate method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities if payment of the liability is to be made within 12 months following the balance sheet date.
Trade payablesTrade payables are initially reported at the acquisition cost equivalent to fair value with additions for transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents include cash and bank deposits.
AssociatesAssociates are companies in which the Group has a significant, but not con-trolling, interest in operational and financial management, ordinarily through a shareholding of between 20 and 50 per cent of the voting rights. From the date that the controlling interest is obtained, the shares in the associate are recognised in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method.
27EuroMaint Annual Report 2014
NOTES
The equity method means that the value reported in the Group of shares in the associates corresponds to the Group’s share in the associates’ equity as well as Group goodwill and other residual values of Group surplus and deficit values. In the consolidated profit/loss for the year, the Group’s share in asso-ciated companies’ profit/loss attributable to the owners of the parent company, adjusted for any depreciation, impairment and reversals of acquired surpluses and deficit values, is recognised in “Income from participations in associates”. These equity participations, reduced by dividends received from associates, constitute the main change of the reported value of equity in associates.
Any difference on the acquisition date between the acquisition cost for the holding and the owner company’s share of the net fair value of the associate’s identifiable assets and liabilities is recognised according to the same principles as for the acquisition of subsidiaries.
Transaction fees, with the exception of transaction fees related to the issue of equity instruments or debt instruments, arising have been included in the acquisition cost. When the Group’s share of reported losses in the associate exceeds the reported value of the shares in the Group, the value of the shares is reduced to zero. Deduction for losses also takes place against long-term financial intermediaries without collateral, which financially constitute part of the owner company’s net investment in the associate.
Continuing losses are not recognised unless the Group provided guaran-tees to cover losses arising in the associate.
InventoriesInventories are valued at the acquisition cost or the net realisable value, which-ever is lowest. The acquisition cost for inventories is calculated using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method and includes expenses that have been incurred from acquiring stock assets and transporting them to their current location and getting them into the appropriate condition. For manufactured goods and work in progress, the acquisition cost includes a reasonable proportion of indirect costs based on normal capacity.
The net realisable value is the estimated sale price in operating activities, once the costs of completion and sale have been deducted.
Contingent liabilitiesA contingent liability is recognised when there is a possible commitment deriving from events that have occurred and whose occurrence is only con-firmed by one or more uncertain future events or when there is a commitment that has not been recognised as a liability or provision due to it not being credible that an outflow of resources will be required.
ClassificationThe non-current assets, non-current liabilities and provisions consist essen-tially of amounts that are expected to be recovered or paid after more than 12 months following the balance sheet date. Current assets and current liabili-ties consist essentially of amounts that are expected to be recovered or paid within 12 months following the balance sheet date.
Income taxesIncome taxes are included in the consolidated financial statements with both current and deferred tax. Group companies are subject to taxation in accord-ance with the existing legislation in each country. A current tax liability or asset is reported as the tax estimated to be paid or received for the current or previ-ous years.
Deferred tax is reported on all temporary differences arising from the differ-ence between the tax value of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax is calculated by applying the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or announced at the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are reported for deductible temporary differences and unused tax loss carry-forwards to the extent it is likely that future taxable prof-its will be available against which the temporary differences or unused loss carry-forwards may be utilised.
Remuneration to employeesPension obligationsGroup companies have various pension plans. The pension plans are financed through the payment of insurance premiums or through provisions in the balance sheet. The Group has both defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans.
A defined contribution pension plan is a pension plan for which the Group does not have any further payment obligations once the contributions are fully paid. Defined contribution pension plans in the Group are PA-03, Option ITP-S, and ITP in Alecta which is reported as a defined contribution plan due to lack of the information required to report the plan as a defined benefit plan. The
contributions are reported as personnel costs. Prepaid contributions are reported as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or reduction of future payments can be credited by the Group.
A defined benefit pension plan means that the employee is guaranteed a pension equivalent to a certain percentage of their final salary. The liability reported in the balance sheet for defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by dis-counting the estimated future cash flows using the interest rate on govern-ment bonds with maturities comparable to the current pension liability. The calculation is performed by an qualified actuary using the Projected Unit Credit Method. The Group’s net obligations comprise the present value of the obligation minus the fair value of plan assets adjusted for any asset lim-its. The net interest cost of the defined benefit obligation is recognised in the profit/loss for the year under net financial income. The net interest is based on the interest that arises when discounting the net obligation minus the fair value of plan assets adjusted for any asset limits. Other components are rec-ognised in operating profit.
Revaluation differences comprise of actuarial profits and losses, the differ-ence between the actual return on plan assets and the sum that is included in the net interest and any changes in asset limit differences. Revaluation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
The special income tax comprises part of the actuarial assumptions and is therefore recognised as part of the net obligation. The part of the special pay-roll tax that is calculated based on the Swedish Act on Safeguarding Pension Obligations for legal entities is recognised for the sake of simplicity as an accrued expense instead of as part of the net obligation.
Yield tax is recognised in profit or loss for the period to which the tax per-tains and is therefore not included in the liability calculation. In funded plans the tax is charged to the return of the plan assets and is recognised in other comprehensive income. In unfunded plans the tax is charged to the profit/loss for the year.
Short-term benefits Short-term employee benefits are calculated without discounting, and are reported as a cost once the related services have been received. A provision is reported for the expected cost of profit-sharing and bonus payments when the Group has a valid legal or informal obligation to make such payments as a result of services received from employees and if the obligation can be esti-mated reliably.
Termination benefitsTermination benefits are payable for an employee’s employment terminated before the normal retirement date or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for such compensation. The Group reports the liability or cost when it is demonstrably committed either to terminating the employee according to a detailed formal plan without the possibility of revocation, or to providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage volun-tary redundancy. Benefits that are due after 12 months from the balance sheet date or longer are discounted to the present value.
ProvisionsProvisions are reported when the Group has an existing legal or informal obli-gation as a result of past events; it is more likely that an outflow of resources is required to settle the obligation than to not do so and the amount can be estimated reliably. No provisions are made for future operating losses. If there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood of there needing to be an outflow of resources to settle this entire group of obligations is assessed. Where the effect of when payment is made is important, the provisions are calculated by discounting the expected future cash flow at an interest rate be-fore tax that reflects the current market estimates of the time value of money and, where applicable, the risks associated with the liability. The provisions for warranties, restructuring and pensions are reported under provisions.
Provision for warranties starts to be calculated when a service is completed or the goods have been released to the customer. In order to estimate the amounts, historical data related to repairs and exchanges are generally used.
Revenue recognitionRevenue is reported less VAT, any discounts and similar revenue reductions. Net revenue includes sales of services within maintenance, the refurbishment of rolling stock, and the maintenance and implementation of production fa-cilities for the manufacturing industry.
For refurbishment work, contract revenue is recognised in proportion to the assignment’s completion rate, which comprises accrued contract costs com-pared to forecast contract costs. This accounting is based on the view that
28 EuroMaint Annual Report 2014
NOTES
the performance is fulfilled as the work is carried out and means that profits are gradually reported based on each assignment’s completion rate when the assignment’s final outcome can be reliably estimated.
For availability deals, known as kilometre contracts, revenue recognition is based on the number of kilometres that the rolling stock has travelled.
An anticipated loss for an assignment is charged in full immediately to the profit/loss for the period.
Financial income and expensesFinancial income relates to the positive exchange rate differences, interest income on financial assets, pension assets and bank deposits, profit from the change in value of financial assets valued at fair value via the income statement and any such profit from hedging instruments reported in income. Financial expenses are costs related to loans, pension liabilities, current bank charges, negative exchange rate differences, loss from the change in value of financial assets valued at fair value via the income statement, impairment of financial assets, and any such losses from hedging instruments reported in the profit/loss for the year.
LeasesOperating leasesLeases in which a substantial part of the risks and benefits of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments that are made during the lease period are written-off in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease period.
Finance leasesFinance leases involve the financial risks and benefits associated with owner-ship largely being transferred to the lessee. Where this is not the case, it is a question of operating leases. Minimum lease payments are allocated between interest expense and amortisation of outstanding liabilities. The interest charges may be allocated over the lease period so that each accounting period is charged with an amount equal to a fixed interest rate for the liability reported in each accounting period. Variable charges are written-off in the periods they are incurred.
Cash flow statementThe indirect method is applied when reporting cash flow from operating activities.
Related party disclosuresRelated parties refers to the companies where Euromaint or parties related to Euromaint can exercise a controlling interest or a significant influence in terms of operational and financial decisions. The circle of related parties also includes the companies and individuals who have an opportunity to exercise a controlling interest or a significant influence over Euromaint Gruppen’s finan-cial and operational decisions. Related party transactions are reported in Note 4.
Related individuals are defined as the Chairman and Members of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer and other senior executives as well as close relatives of these people. Remuneration to the Board of Directors and the Chief Execu-tive Officer is presented in Note 8.
Discontinued operationsWhen the Group intends to discontinue an operation that represents either a separate major line of business or a geographical area of operations, this is recognised as a discontinued operation in accordance with IFRS 5 – Non- current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. Profit or loss after tax in the discontinued operation is recognised as a single amount in the income statement, separate from the statement of other comprehensive in-come and the statement for the comparative period, in order to present the discontinued operation separately from the remaining operations. The layout of the statement of financial position for the current and previous year has not been amended, in accordance with applicable regulations, in the same way.
Earnings per shareEarnings per share is calculated using the profit/loss for the year for the Group attributable to the parent company’s owners and on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. When calculating the diluted earnings per share, the profit/loss and the average number of shares are adjusted to take account of the effects of diluting potential ordinary shares. During the year there has been no dilution of potential ordinary shares.
The Parent CompanyThe parent company’s Annual Report is prepared in accordance with the Swedish Financial Reporting Board Recommendation RFR 2 (Accounting for legal entities) and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
Differences between the parent company and the Group’s accounting policiesDue to the link between accounting and taxation, the rules on financial instru-ments and hedge accounting in IAS 39 are not applied to the parent company as a legal entity. In the parent company, financial fixed assets are valued at acquisition cost minus any write-down and financial current assets according to the principle of lowest value.
Interest rate swaps that effectively hedge cash flow risk in interest rate pay-ments for liabilities are valued at the net of accrued claim for variable interest and accrued liability for fixed interest and the difference is reported as an interest rate expense or interest rate income. The hedging is effective if the fi-nancial significance of the hedge and the liability is the same as if the liability had instead been taken up at a fixed market rate when the hedging relation-ship commenced. Any premiums paid for the swap agreement are amortised as interest over the term of the agreement.
Group contributionsGroup contributions are reported according to their financial significance. This means that Group contributions that are issued and received in order to minimise the Group’s total tax are reported directly in retained earnings.

Benefits to management groups and employees in similar positions, in accordance with ÅRL, are recognised as benefits to other employees.
32 EuroMaint Annual Report 2014
NOTES
Note 9 | Intangible fixed assets
Recovery valueThe calculated recovery value is made up of the value in use.
The value in use is calculated as the present value of future calculated cash flows generated by the asset during the estimated useful life. The assessment of future cash flows is based on realistic and verifiable assumptions that con-stitute the best estimates of the financial circumstances that are expected for the useful life. For example, personnel cost increases and other operating costs are based on anticipated inflation, which can be compensated through price increases in current contracts or indexing in fixed price contracts. Exchange rate forecasts are based on the current noted exchange rate taking account of existing currency hedges.
The assessment of future cash flows is based on the latest budgets/fore-casts and normally covers a three-year period. For calculations after this period the estimates of future cash flows are based on the assumption of a steady rate of growth deemed realistic for the cash-generating unit. For the 2014 calculation, a growth rate of 2 per cent has been used based on market posi-tions, plans for the future and growth in the market for each unit.
Estimates of future cash flows do not include future payments attributable to a future restructuring that the ownership is not obliged to implement.
As soon as the ownership is obliged to implement the restructuring, future cash flows then include savings and other benefits, as well as payments out that the restructuring is expected to give rise to.
Nor do assessed future cash flows include receipts and payments from financing activities. On the other hand, tax receipts and payments are included. When valuing a company, it is normal to include taxes. The calculated value in use should be compared with the carrying amount of ownership, which
includes both tax assets and liabilities. In order to make the valuation compa-rable with the carrying amount, the Group therefore includes receipts and pay-ments in the estimated future cash flows instead of reducing the group value by tax liabilities and receivables.
The company has chosen a discount rate after tax, as estimated future cash flows also include tax. The discount factor reflects market assessments of the time value of money and the specific risks associated with the asset. The dis-count factor does not reflect any such risks taken into account when future cash flows are estimated. As a starting point when calculating the discount rate, the company’s weighted average capital cost, its marginal borrowing rate and other market borrowing rates independent of the company’s capital struc-ture are used. For the 2014 calculations, the discount rate after tax has been calculated at 6.77 per cent.

Note 18 | Financial risks and risk management
Through its operations, Euromaint is exposed to financial risks, including the effect of changes to prices in the loan and capital markets, exchange rates and interest rates. The Group’s overall risk management focuses on the unpredictability of the financial markets and aims at minimising potentially unfavourable effects on the Group’s financial results. Financial operations in the Group are centralised within Euromaint Rail AB’s finance function. The finance function acts as an internal bank and is responsible for the sourcing of capital, cash management and financial risk management. The operations are regulated through the Group’s financial regulations.
The following important financial risks are dealt with:Market risksThe risk that the value of, or future cash flows from, a financial instrument varies due to changes in market prices. Currency risk and interest rate risk con-stitute market risks.
Currency risksCurrency risk refers to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations negatively affecting the Group’s income statement, balance sheet and/or cash flows. Currency risks exist, both in the form of transaction risks and translation risks. Euromaint is to some extent exposed to currency and transaction risks because of relatively large volumes purchased in foreign currency and small customer invoicing in the corresponding currencies. Purchases made in foreign currencies for major projects are hedged at 100 per cent or are agreed with variable currency clauses during the tender/contract process. The financial regulations do not require currency hedges for the current net flows. Euromaint is exposed to the follow-ing currencies: EUR, NOK, USD, GBP, DKK and CHF. Euromaint’s largest currency exposure is to goods purchased in EUR.
The net flow in EUR is approximately EUR 16,469 thousand (21,450) per year, which means that a 5 per cent change in the exchange rate will affect purchase costs before hedging by approximately SEK 7.5 million (8.9) before tax. Currency hedging is no longer practised against this net flow. Exposure relating to the transaction risk attributable to the other currencies is not sig-nificant. Currency risk in the form of translation risks is attributable to the EUR currency. Translation differences for internal investment loans in EUR are reported due to its character to equity.
Interest rate risksInterest rate risks refer to the risk of a negative effect on the Group’s financial results resulting from changes in market interest rates. Euromaint is affected by the general rate adjustments through its external loan portfolio. To counter this, SEK 150 million of the loans was previously hedged with a 2-year interest rate swap. This ended in February 2014. Subsequent to this, the loans have not been hedged via an interest rate swap. The underlying loans run for 3 months. Therefore, given the current size of the loan portfolio, an interest rate increase of 1 percentage point will increase Euromaint’s annual interest expense by SEK 5.0 million before tax.
Other risksCredit riskCredit risk is the risk generated by the fact that the credit rating of the inves-tor’s counterparty can change in an unpredictable manner, thereby resulting in a loss for the Group. Euromaint has procedures in place to minimise the ongoing customer credit risk in its operations. These procedures relate, for example, to credit testing, advances and warranty management, and ongoing credit monitoring. Identified customer losses during 2014 amounted to SEK 93 thousand (6,319). At the balance sheet date, Euromaint had indirect collat-eral of approximately SEK 4,262 thousand (12,887) in the form of advances from customers. The Group considers that there are no significant concen-trations of credit risk in respect of the financial assets.

Financial assets that are neither due for payment nor can be written down are deemed to have a good credit quality.
39EuroMaint Annual Report 2014
NOTES
Liquidity and refinancing riskRefinancing risks refer to the risk that the refinancing of mature loans will be-come difficult or costly and that Euromaint will thereby have difficulty fulfilling its payment obligations. Liquidity risk refers to the risk of difficulty in fulfilling the obligations associated with financial liabilities. Euromaint’s policy is to always have available cash and cash equivalents and secured refinancing to the extent required for the activity. As of 31 December 2014, there was a loan facility with Swedbank totalling SEK 709 million (734), including a bank over-draft facility of SEK 80 million (80) as well as a separate framework of SEK 120 million (120) solely dedicated to bank guarantees. As of the measurement day, 31 December 2014, Euromaint fulfilled all the requirements related to financial key ratios associated with the financing agreement.

The same values apply to the parent company as for the Group in 2014 and 2013.
Only level 3 instruments are valued at fair value above other comprehensive income/income statement.
Level 3. Fair value based on input data that is not observable on the market. The value of the liability for the synthetic shares is based on an external measure-ment, where a Fair Market Value has been assessed using a DCF model (discounted cash flow). The cash flows have been calculated based on the com-pany’s business plans, market prospects, investment plans and growth forecasts and then discounted by a weighted average capital cost (WACC). For the 2014 measurement, a WACC of 6.77 per cent was used. When determining the discount rate, consideration has been given to specific risks in the market and to the company, risk-free rate, market loan margins and the company’s capital structure. The model calculates an Equity Value (EQV) based on the value of the entire company less the loan. The value of the liability for the synthetic options has been calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation method and is based on the company’s extent and terms for the incentive programme, share valuation and statistics on volatility and yield rates for government bonds.
1) Reported as net under provisions, pensions.2) Synthetic shares and options were valued by an external independent valuer in 2014.3) Non-current interest-bearing liabilities run with variable interest rates, which is why these are considered to be valued at fair value.

Overview of defined benefit plans The defined benefit pension obligations that are included in the Group’s recognition of defined benefit pension liabilities are as follows: I. Defined benefit pension within the state occupational pension agreement
PA91/PA03, which was earned in the period when the state owned the company. These benefits are secured through insurance with KPA.
II. Professional and occupational disability annuities for former employees. Secured through depositing on account in the company’s balance sheet.
III. A number of employees that are covered by the ITP-S plan are entitled to early retirement pension according to the transitional provisions, a so-called transitional provision pension. The employees this concerns are a fixed group, i.e. no new individuals will be added. A transitional provision pension means that the employee is entitled to draw their pension from the age of 60 with a level of benefit of 65 per cent of their salary until the normal retirement age of 65. Payments to employees who have exercised the right to early retirement pension in accordance with the transitional provi-sions are untouchable pension obligations for the company and are secured through depositing on account in the company’s balance sheet.
IV. A few other retirement benefits derived from old state pension agree-ments.

The present value of the obligation is divided among the members of the plan(s) as follows:– Active members 0.8 (0.4) per cent– Paid-up policyholders 17.1 (11.0) per cent– Pensioners 82.1 (88.6) per cent
Changes in the fair value of plan assets for defined benefit plansThe Group, SEK thousands 2014 2013Fair value of plan assets at 1 January 50 959 57 130Contributions by the employer 1 605 –Interest income recognised in profit or loss 968 707Remuneration paid –5 448 –5 490The difference between actual return and return according to the discount rate of the plan assets 5 869 –1 388Fair value of plan assets at 31 December 53 953 50 959
The recognised plan assets consist of 100 per cent of the value of the Group’s insurance contracts in KPA concerning earned pension rights in old state pension agreements. The calculated value of the insurance is partly based on actuarial calculation methods and it is therefore not possible to report how the plan assets are distributed between shares, bonds and other types of securities.

As of 31 December 2014 the weighted average term of the obligation amounted to 8 years (7).
The defined benefit pension obligations that are included in the Group’s recognition of defined benefit pension liabilities belong to all old pension agreements for which no new pension rights have been earned. In the future the Group may be forced to pay the indexing cost for the pension benefits which are insured with KPA; however, no such indexing cost is expected to arise in 2015. The Group estimates that no payments will take place in 2015 to funded and unfunded defined benefit plans which are recognised as defined benefit plans; however, SEK 25,009 thousand will be paid in 2015 to those defined benefit plans which are recognised as defined contribution plans.
The obligations for retirement pensions and family pensions for salaried employees in Sweden are secured through insurance with Alecta. According to a statement from the Swedish Financial Reporting Board, UFR 3, this is a defined benefit plan that includes several employers. For the 2014 financial year, the company has not had access to such information that makes it pos-sible to report this plan as a defined benefit plan. The pension plan according to ITP, which is secured by insurance with Alecta, is therefore reported as a defined contribution plan. The fees for the year for pension insurance policies taken out with Alecta amount to SEK 37,315 million (38,453). Alecta’s surplus can be distributed to policyholders and/or those insured. At the end of 2014, Alecta’s surplus in the form of the collective consolidation level amounted to 143 per cent. The collective consolidation level comprises the market value of Alecta’s assets as a percentage of the insurance obligations calculated in accordance with Alecta’s technical insurance calculation assumptions, which does not comply with IAS 19.

The parent company does not report any provisions. Provision for warranties starts to be calculated when a service is completed or the goods have been released to the customer.
In order to estimate the amounts, historical data related to repairs and exchanges are generally used.Provision for restructuring is reported when a detailed and formal restructuring plan has been established by the Group and when this has either started or
has been made publicly known.

AUDITOR’S REPORT
Auditor’s report
To the Annual General Meeting of Euromaint Gruppen AB, corp. ID no. 556731-5402
Report on the Annual Report and the Consolidated Financial StatementsWe have audited the Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements for Euromaint Gruppen AB for 2014. The company’s Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements are included in the printed version of this document on pages 14–45.
The Annual Report and the Consolidated Financial Statements are the responsibility of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive OfficerThe Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer are responsible for preparing an Annual Report giving a true and fair view according to the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and Consolidated Financial Statements giving a true and fair view according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, and for the internal controls which the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer deem necessary in order to prepare an Annual Report and Consolidated Financial State-ments that do not contain material misstatements, whether these are due to fraud or error.
The auditor’s responsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion about the Annual Report and the Consolidated Financial Statements based on our audit. We have performed the audit according to International Standards on Auditing and generally accepted auditing practice in Sweden. These standards require us to comply with professional ethical requirements and to plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance that the Annual Report and the Consolidated Financial Statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves taking various actions to obtain audit evidence about amounts and other information in the Annual Report and the Consolidated Financial Statements. The auditors decide the actions that are to be taken, including by assessing the risks of material misstatement in the Annual Report and the Consolidated Financial Statements, whether these are due to fraud or error. During this risk assessment, the auditor takes into account the parts of the internal controls that are relevant for the way the company prepares the Annual Report and the Consolidated Financial Statements to give a true and fair view, in order to design audit procedures that are appro-priate taking into account the circumstances, but not for the purpose of making a statement about the effectiveness of the company’s internal controls. An audit also includes assessing the appropriate-ness of the accounting policies that have been used and the reason-ableness of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer’s estimates in the statements, as well as assessing the overall presenta-tion in the Annual Report and the Consolidated Financial Statements.
We consider that the audit evidence we have collected is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
OpinionIn our opinion, the Annual Report has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and gives in all material respects a true and fair view of the parent company’s financial posi-tion as of 31 December 2014 and of its financial performance and cash flow for the year according to the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in
accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and give in all material respects a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as of 31 December 2014 and of its financial performance and cash flow for the year according to International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the EU, and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The Directors’ Report is consistent with other parts of the Annual Report and the Consolidated Financial Statements.
We therefore recommend that the Annual General Meeting adopt the income statement and balance sheet for the parent company as well as the statement of comprehensive income and consolidated statement of financial position.
Report on other requirements according to laws and other statutesIn addition to our audit of the Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements, we have also performed an audit of the pro-posed appropriation of the Company’s profit or loss as well as the Board of Directors’ and Chief Financial Officer’s administration of Euromaint Gruppen AB for the year 2014.
The Board of Directors’ and the Chief Executive Officer’s responsibilityThe Board of Directors is responsible for the proposal for the appro-priation of the company’s profit or loss, and the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer are responsible for the administration according to the Swedish Companies Act.
The auditor’s responsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion with reasonable assurance on the proposal for the appropriation of the company’s profit or loss and on the administration based on our audit. We have performed the audit according to generally accepted auditing practice in Sweden.
As a basis for our opinion on the Board of Directors’ proposal for the appropriation of the company’s profit or loss, we have reviewed whether the Board’s proposal complies with the Swedish Companies Act.
As the basis for our pronouncement on discharge from liability, we have, in addition to our audit of the Annual Report and the Con-solidated Financial Statements, examined significant decisions, actions taken and circumstances in the Company in order to be able to determine the liability to the Company, if any, of any Board Member or the Chief Executive Officer. We have also examined whether any Board Member or the CEO has otherwise acted in contravention of the Companies Act, the Annual Accounts Act or the Articles of Asso-ciation.
We consider that the audit evidence we have collected is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
OpinionWe recommend that the Annual General Meeting appropriate the profit of the parent company according to the proposals contained in the Directors’ Report and discharge the Board Members and the Chief Executive Officer from liability for the financial year.
