CEO’S COMMENTS ON THE FOURTH QUARTER 2017
uring the fourth quarter the strategic review of our operations in France has continued and production in South Africa has been closed, as previously decided. The quarter’s sales were
lower than in the previous year, but order intake developed favourably, which means that the Group will enter 2018 with a stronger order book than 2017.
DEVELOPMENT OF OUR BUSINESS During the fourth quarter, sales decreased compared to the fourth quarter of 2016. This is mainly a consequence of weak sales to banks in India and South Africa and the effect of a large Entrance Control order delivered in quarter four 2016 in Europe.
Sales in Region EMEA fell in the fourth quarter. Order intake, on the other hand, developed positively and the Group continues to develop the business with existing customers as well as new customer segments. For example, pre-boarding gates from Gunnebo will be installed at Munich Airport and Coop will continue to turn to us to service the cash management solutions it has installed in stores across the Nordic region.
Sales in Region Asia-Pacific decreased in the quarter mainly due to the continued weak development of the public banking market in India, which was amplified by weak sales of ATM safes.
However, Region Asia-Pacific had a strong order intake in the fourth quarter. Gunnebo received its first major order in India for ticket gates for the metro network in one of the country’s major cities and, Incheon Airport in Seoul, South Korea, chose entrance security solutions from Gunnebo. Both of these orders demonstrate how Gunnebo is shifting its customer segment focus in the region.
Region Americas also had lower sales in the quarter, where development was good in Brazil and unchanged in Mexico. In North America, sales were
temporary weaker due to slow business in bank projects.
One noteworthy order received during the quarter came from Brazil, where several large international food retailers chose Gunnebo’s warehouse solutions to be gradually installed in their stores around the country. In the United States, Gunnebo delivered entrance security solutions to the Empire State Building in New York.
In terms of product areas, the positive sales development within Cash Management has continued
in the fourth quarter.
In Entrance Security, sales have remained unchanged at a high level during the quarter.
Safes & Vaults developed weakly during the quarter, due to lower sales of safes to global ATM manufacturers and the continued low demand from banks in several markets.
In Electronic Security, sales were unchanged during the quarter, which is an important improvement against the decline earlier in 2017.
RESULTS For the quarter, we reported an operating profit excluding items affecting comparability of MSEK 134 and an operating margin of 8.2%.
For the full year, we reported an operating income excluding items affecting comparability of MSEK 369 and an operating margin of 6.2%.
Work on continuing to improve our business in line with our strategy for profitable growth continues. During the year, we have also conducted a review and prioritisation of our product areas in respect to range, which will further strengthen our focus on customers and delivery.

SALES DEVELOPMENT Q4 2017 Organically, the region’s sales decreased by 6% during the fourth quarter. Sales developed positively in the UK, South Europe and France. Sales on other markets in the region were weaker.
The Region’s order intake was strong in the quarter.
Sales within Cash Management developed well across all markets in Europe.
Entrance Security developed well in Europe, but had a weaker development in Eastern Europe and Middle East due to a large order delivered in quarter four 2016.
Safes & Vaults developed weakly across the region.
Electronic Security developed positively, mainly in Central Europe, the Nordics, UK and Middle East. Also sales in France improved for the quarter, which is in line with the plan to improve profitability on this market.
RESULT DEVELOPMENT Q4 2017 Operating profit excluding items affecting comparability amounted to MSEK 54 (76), giving an operating margin of 5.1% (6.7).
This lower profit is derived from the markets with weak sales development and the customer segment repositioning that is currently ongoing as part of the strategic review in France. Items affecting comparability in the fourth quarter amounted to MSEK -22 (-23), and were related to continued structural activities in France and South Africa.
QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS ▪ Nordics: Retail chain, Coop, renews multi-year service
contract with Gunnebo to deliver service for cash management solutions installed in its stores.
▪ Germany: Gunnebo’s pre-boarding gates will be installed at Munich Airport.

SALES DEVELOPMENT Q4 2017 Organically, the region’s sales decreased by 9% during the fourth quarter as the large OKI-project now has been finalised. This is explained by the continued weak development in India. Sales in other markets in the region developed positively.
The Region’s order intake was strong in the quarter.
Entrance Security continued to develop well, especially sales to the metro sector in India and to high-risk sites in Australia.
Sales for fire projects (Other) declined.
Safes & Vaults had lower sales compared to last year, mainly impacted by continued low spending from the public bank sector in India and lower sales of safes to global ATM manufacturers in the region.
RESULT DEVELOPMENT Q4 2017 Operating profit excluding items affecting comparability amounted to MSEK 42 (55) giving an operating margin of 13.8% (15.7). The weaker result is mainly explained by lower sales in India where the Group is currently undertaking a customer segment repositioning to reduce the dependency on the banking sector.
Items affecting comparability in the fourth quarter were related to structural changes in South-East Asia.
QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
▪ Australia: Gunnebo’s Intellisafe cash management solution helps to optimise cash processing at one of the country’s first drive-in cinemas.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OCTOBER – DECEMBER 2017
Net sales The Gunnebo Group’s net sales during the fourth quarter amounted to MSEK 1,632 (1,776) representing an 8% decrease. Organic growth for the Group was -6%, where Asia-Pacific ended at -9%, Americas at -3%, and EMEA was -6%. The currency effect was -2% coming from Asia-Pacific and Americas.
Operating results Operating profit was MSEK 104 (142), equaling an operating margin of 6.4% (8.0). Excluding items affecting comparability, operating profit amounted to MSEK 134 (172), equaling an operating margin of 8.2% (9.7). EBITDA excluding items affecting comparability reached MSEK 163 (203) corresponding to 10.0% (11.4) of net sales.
The gross margin excluding items affecting comparability was 28.4% compared to 29.7% last year, partly due to low variability of costs where business volume declined and partly due to unfavorable changes in the product mix.
The reduced selling and administrative expenses partly compensated for the drop in gross margin. Selling and administrative expenses excluding items affecting comparability decreased by some MSEK 20 over the same quarter 2016. As a percent of net sales, this equaled 20.7% which was slightly higher than the 20.1% from last year.
Gross spending on product research and development, which included capitalised amounts, totalled MSEK 31 (36) equaling 1.9% (2.0) of net sales.
Items affecting comparability impacted the Group’s result by MSEK -30 (-30) in the quarter, with MSEK -17 (-8) in cost of goods sold and MSEK -13 (-22) reported in selling and administrative. For EMEA, these mainly related to the continued focus on increased productivity and structural changes in France and South Africa. Items affecting comparability in the other regions related primarily to structural changes affecting management levels and manufacturing efficiency.
Changes in the operating profit in the fourth quarter, as compared to the corresponding quarter 2016, can be explained by: ▪ The negative organic growth impacted
operating profit by MSEK -26. ▪ The positive net structural effects of MSEK 9
reflect realised savings from implemented productivity measures and structural changes mainly in EMEA which continue to give benefits as planned, as well as the change in items affecting comparability between the two periods.
▪ Currency effects were MSEK 0, of which translation effect was MSEK -3 and transaction effect was MSEK 3.
▪ Other effects included negative gross margin development caused partly by low variability of costs in relation to certain business contraction and partly by an unfavourable product mix.
Other financial highlights Net financial items in the quarter was MSEK -14 and was at the same level as 2016. Tax expense was MSEK -14 (-33) representing an effective tax rate of 15.5% (25.6). The effect of changed tax rate legislation from the US and France had a net positive impact on tax expense of some MSEK 8.
Free cash flow for the quarter was MSEK 71 (107), with the decline attributable to operating profits and the higher investment rate, offset by a positive impact from lower tax payments. Investments in the quarter were MSEK 55 (31), reflecting increased investments both in product/IT development as well as property, plant and equipment. The lower tax payments in the quarter were partly timing but were also in line with net profits. The change in working capital ended at the same level as 2016 in total.
Cash flow from financing activities totalled MSEK -33 (-37) representing a mix of minor financing movements.
Total equity increased by MSEK 78 and was mainly attributable to the net profit of MSEK 76, as the positive currency development was offset by actuarial losses caused by changes in demographical and financial assumptions in the Group’s UK pension plan.

JANUARY - DECEMBER 2017
Net sales The Gunnebo Group’s reported net sales for the full year amounted to MSEK 5,991 (6,088) representing a 2% decrease. Organic growth for the Group was -3%, where EMEA was -3%, Asia-Pacific was -4%, while Americas showed positive growth of 1%. The currency effect was 1%.
Operating results Operating profit was MSEK 304 (366), equaling an operating margin of 5.1% (6.0). Excluding items affecting comparability, operating profit amounted to MSEK 369 (438), equaling an operating margin of 6.2% (7.2). EBITDA excluding items affecting comparability reached MSEK 486 (561) corresponding to 8.1% (9.2) of net sales.
The gross margin excluding items affecting com-parability for the year was 28.6% compared to 29.5% last year.
Selling and administrative expenses excluding items affecting comparability decreased by some MSEK 15 over the same period 2016, representing a percent of net sales of 22.6% for 2017 compared to 22.5% for 2016. Adjusted for currencies, the selling and administrative cost reduction was some 30 MSEK year over year.
The Group´s gross spending on product research and development, which includes amounts that have been capitalised, increased over 2016, and amounted to MSEK 116 (104) equaling 1.9% (1.7) of net sales.
Items affecting comparability impacted the result by MSEK -65 (-72) for the year, mainly related to continued focus on increased productivity and structural changes as well as management changes in APAC and Americas.
Changes in the operating profit for the year as compared to 2016, can be explained by: ▪ The negative organic growth impacted
operating profit by MSEK -39. ▪ The positive net structural effects of MSEK 54
reflect realised savings from implemented productivity measures and structural changes in EMEA which continue to give benefits as
planned, as well as the change in items affecting comparability between the two periods.
▪ Currency effects were MSEK 17, where the translation effect was MSEK 5 and transaction effect was MSEK 12.
▪ Other effects included negative gross margin development caused partly by under absorption of fixed costs and partly by the unfavourable product mix and material cost increases.
Other financial highlights Net financial items totalled MSEK -57 (-53), where the increase is due partly to costs taken in connection with the Group’s refinancing. Tax expense was MSEK -87 (-104) resulting in an effective tax rate of 35.2% (33.2). The effective tax rate was slightly higher due to current losses not recognised, taxes on distributions from certain subsidiaries and mix effects of profits in higher tax jurisdictions offset by a net positive effect from tax rate changes in the US, France and the UK.
Free cash flow was MSEK -74 (159) where a mix of factors contributed to the development. The most significant were the decline in operating profits, the increase in working capital and the increased level of investments. Additionally, 2016 included a positive cash flow effect of MSEK 31 from sales of property. The working capital increases were mainly seen in accounts receivables but also within inventories. The higher rate of investments in 2017, MSEK 150 compared to MSEK 106 in 2016, are related primarily to product/IT development investments, with a slight increase in investments in property, plant and equipment.
Cash flow from financing activities totalled MSEK 15 (-115) coming mainly from long-term loans and dividend payments. During 2017, the Group completed the refinancing of its long-term credit facilities. Total loan repayments for the year were MSEK -1,417 and new borrowings were
MSEK 1,483, including the refinancing. Dividends paid to shareholders totalled MSEK 92 (76) equivalent to SEK 1.20 (1.00) per share.
For 2017, return on capital employed excluding items affecting comparability was 10.3% compared to 12.8% in 2016. The 2.5 percentage point decline is attributable to the result development, impacting with -2.0 percentage points, as well as to the working capital development impacting with a -0.4 percentage point. The currency impact was minor.
Total equity decreased by MSEK 24 in 2017, mainly from the dividend payment of MSEK -92 and the

negative currency development of MSEK -74, being offset by the net profit of MSEK 160.
Equity ratio was 33% at the end of the year (34% at the beginning of the year). Negative currency developments were the largest cause for the decline, in addition to the increase in total assets.
Parent company The Group’s parent company, Gunnebo AB, is a holding company which has the main task of owning and managing shares in other Group companies, as well as providing Group-wide services. Net revenue for the fourth quarter and year to date were MSEK 71 (100) and MSEK 239 (236) respectively. Profit after financial items was MSEK -7 (4) in the fourth quarter and MSEK 11 (24) for the full year, which included both dividends and write-down of shares in subsidiaries. Net profit for the fourth quarter amounted to MSEK 88 (88) and MSEK 79 (110) for the full year.
Long-Term Incentive Programmes Under the Group’s Long-term Incentive Programme LTIP 2015, matching shares of 103,580 can be allotted depending on the 2018 employment condition being fulfilled by the participants. No allotment of performance shares will be made under this programme as the related targets have not been fulfilled.
No allotment of shares will be made under the Group’s Performance Share Programme LTI 2017/2021 due to non-fulfilment of the targets.
Employees The number of employees at the end of the fourth quarter was 5,210 which is a decrease of some 350 employees as compared to the end of 2016. Reductions are caused by structural changes as well as temporary workers taken out to match the variability in the business volume.
Proposed dividend The Board of Directors proposes a dividend of SEK 1.20 (1.20) per share for the financial year 2017, corresponding to a total dividend payment of MSEK 92 (92) based on the number of outstanding shares at the end of 2017.
It is also proposed that the dividend is to be paid in two installments, with the first payment of SEK 0.60 per share in April and the second payment of SEK 0.60 per share in October.
The proposed record dates are 16 April 2018 for the first payment and 16 October 2018, for the second payment.

Accounting principles Gunnebo complies with the International Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the EU, and the official interpretations of these standards (IFRIC). The Interim Report for the Gunnebo Group has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The Interim Report for the parent company has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and the recommendation of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board, RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The same accounting principles and methods of calculation have been used as in the latest Annual Report.
Reclassification on the balance sheet Strategic priorities for the Group are Demand Chain and Cash for Growth. In order to increase transparency related to these priorities, the Group has reclassified “Advance payments from customers” from Inventory in the Group’s balance sheet to Other short-term liabilities. Consequently, inventory has increased by some MSEK 100 at December 2017 as well as December 2016. Previous periods have been restated.
New accounting principles 2018
IFRS 15 IFRS 15 Revenues from Customers has a mandatory implementation date of 1 January 2018.
As part of its IFRS 15 implementation project, the Group has evaluated all revenue streams by mapping deliverables within the product areas Cash Management, Entrance Security, Safes & Vaults and Electronic Security as well as Other. The deliverables identified in these product areas are similar globally, include both product and services, and are relatively non-complex. The majority involve a fixed quantity of goods where revenue is recognized at a point in time, typically at delivery or after installation. The Group also has contracts involving more integration/customisation and which are built to a certain extent on customer site. Revenue is
recognized over time for these contracts, as well as for maintenance contracts.
The Group has concluded that the revenue recognition patterns required under IFRS 15 for the Group’s products and services are consistent with how the accounting is performed today. These conclusions have been confirmed in conjunction with the year-end closing 31 December 2017, and therefore IFRS 15 is not expected to have any material effect on its financial position or performance.
The Group intends to use the cumulative effect option for the adoption of IFRS 15, where equity at 1 January 2018 would be adjusted for the accumulated effect caused by IFRS 15. In line with the Group’s conclusion, no material adjustment is expected.
The Group will provide more disclosures related to 2018 revenues and movements in related balance sheet items, as required under the IFRS 15. However, under the cumulative effect option no comparison year information related to 2017 is required to be provided.
IFRS 9 The Group does not anticipate that the adoption of IFRS 9 Financial instruments, which replaces IAS 39 as from 1 January 2018, will have any significant impact on its financial position and/or performance. The use of hedge accounting is very limited. Additionally, impairment losses on accounts receivable (doubtful accounts) are not currently, nor have historically been, significant.
Significant risks and uncertainties The Group’s and Parent Company’s significant risks and uncertainties include operational risks and financial risks. Operational risks for Gunnebo mainly include risks posed by the global economy and commercial risks.
The Group’s risks as well as risk management are described in more detail in the latest Annual Report.
