Systemair - EBIT-margin close to 9%

In the second quarter (Aug-Oct) of the split financial year 2009/10,
the net turnover decreased by 12 percent to 829 MSEK (947). The
operating result decreased with 50 percent till 73 MSEK (146) the
operating margin reached 8,8 percent.

 - Though sales for the quarter decreased compared to the preceding
year, we are reasonably satisfied with sales and earnings. It was the
best individual quarter since last autumn, when the effects of the
financial crisis began to affect us. The same quarter last year was
the Group's best ever and impossible to repeat under current economic
conditions. We have put big efforts into product development and
sales activities and made a few interesting acquisitions, which will
add to the growth in the future. We also continued to invest to boost
efficiency at our production facilities. The cutbacks and efficiency
enhancements implemented have yielded the desired results. Our
assessment is that most markets have reached bottom, and in several
markets we see incipient growth. We are cautiously optimistic about
the coming quarters and believe sound growth will resume once the
economy has recovered, says Gerald Engström, CEO Systemair
