Lundbergs was formed by Lars Erik Lindberg in 1944 as a construction compa-ny focusing on proprietary building operations. Lars Eric Lundberg was theCompany’s President until 1975. He was then appointed Chairman of theBoard, a position he retained until 1991.

Since 1981, Fredrik Lundberg has been the Group’s Chief Executive Officer.Over the years, Lundbergs has evolved from pure construction into a property-management and investment business. Today, operations are divided into twobusiness areas: Real Estate and Invest.

Lundbergs’ general business concept is to engage in the long-term manage-ment and development of properties and in long-term investments in sharehold-ings, mainly in publicly traded Swedish companies, in order to generate a highabsolute return on investments.

The Real Estate business area consists of Lundbergs’ own real estate opera-tions. The real estate portfolio mainly comprises centrally located residential,office and retail properties in 18 municipalities. The properties in the portfoliowere predominantly built in the 1960s and 1970s.

Lundberg Real Estate’s business concept is to manage and develop residen-tial and commercial properties in cities where favorable growth is expected.This is achieved with the help of a decentralized, efficient and market-adaptedorganization that possesses expert knowledge of customer needs and offerswell-managed properties combined with good service. The Real Estate businessarea’s Head Office is in Norrköping.

The Invest business area’s business concept is to function as an active, long-term owner that manages and develops a limited number of investments inSwedish, mainly publicly traded, companies. The business area’s strategy is tocontribute expertise and stability at the ownership level, thus creating condi-tions in which the companies can conduct solid and profitable operations.Lundbergs is the principal shareholder in Cardo, Holmen and Hufvudstadenand the second largest shareholder in NCC. Lundbergs also has a major share-holding in Stadium, a sports-products and sports-fashion company.

Lundberg Invest also engages in securities trading through the subsidiary L ELundberg Kapitalförvaltning AB. The Head Office of investment operations is inStockholm.

1) In order to provide a true and fair description of the Group’s operations, the holdings in Cardo, Holmen, Hufvudstaden, NCC and Stadiumare reported solely as shareholdings (other long-term holdings of securities) and are thus not consolidated in the Group.

•4 In many respects, 2002 was a turbulentyear. Naturally, I am thinking aboutthe conflicts in the Middle East, corporate scandals, terrorist attacksand the severe stock-market slumpexperienced in many parts of theworld. The repercussions of thesefactors affected everyone’s behaviorand thus economic growth.Stockholmsbörsen plummeted 37%,marking the third consecutive year offalling share prices, something thathad not happened since the economiccrises of the early 1930s – the totalmagnitude of the collapse during2000-2002 was at the same level asthen.

Lundbergs, however, successfullymaintained its positions during 2002.We reported profit of approximatelySEK 597 m. after tax (1,986) and netasset value of SEK 221 (220) after de-ferred tax. The reason for the reducedearnings compared with the precedingyear is that earnings in 2001 includedan extraordinary dividend of SEK

1,307 m. from Holmen, as well as atax revenue of SEK 88 m.

The price of Lundberg shares rose23% during 2002, which meantshareholders received a total return of27% for the year. During the past tenyears, our shareholders have receiveda total annual return of 19%.

Our financial position remainsstrong. Net debt amounted to SEK 2.4billion (1.4) at year-end, equal to adebt/equity ratio of 0.25 (0.19).

Real estateOperating profit increased to SEK400 m. (315). Profit before depreciationand write-downs amounted to SEK422 m. (414).

The rental market for offices dete-riorated in virtually all of the locationsin which we are active. This appliedparticularly to Stockholm, wherecompany bankruptcies and the down-sizing of various businesses resultedin excess supply of office premises.This also led to a decrease in market

rents. Central parts of Stockholm fared relatively well, while many peripheral locations were hit moreseverely.

With respect to retail space, weare still noting strong demand inStockholm and other parts of Sweden,combined with stable market rents.This trend is mainly attributable tofavorable consumption levels.

Demand for housing remainsstrong, even in smaller towns. The mainreasons for this are the low level ofresidential construction in Swedenand increases in real wages in recentyears. In most large cities, the vacancyrate for housing is very close to zero.

The vacancy rate for commercialpremises in Lundbergs’ real estateportfolio amounted to 3.9% inFebruary 2003, compared with 4.1%a year earlier. The vacancy rate forhousing remains low at 0.6%.

Since housing accounts for half ofour real estate portfolio and the port-folio is favorably diversified in terms

The President’s review

of geographic location, the level ofrisk is relatively low. Accordingly, Iam of the opinion that this businessarea will continue to report healthyearnings in the years ahead.

InvestLundberg Invest’s business concept isto function as an active, long-termowner that manages and develops alimited number of investments inSwedish, mainly publicly traded,companies.

Our earnings objective is to gener-ate an absolute return – in the form ofappreciation and the direct return oninvested capital – that substantiallyexceeds the yield on a risk-free interest-bearing investment over time.In other words, we do not compareour performance with an equity index, because our investments areconcentrated in a limited number ofcompanies.

We concentrate on companiesactive in areas in which we have theappropriate experience and knowledgeand where the prospects for obtaininga favorable return are good. During2002 and early 2003, we made a ma-jor new investment totaling about SEK1 billion in shares in the investmentcompany Industrivärden. Lundbergs’ownership interest amounts to 5% ofthe share capital and 7% of the votingrights. Industrivärden has majorshareholdings in many companies, including a number of Sweden’sstrongest groups, such as SvenskaHandelsbanken, SCA and Sandvik.

For many years, Lundbergs’ invest-ments have been concentrated in thereal estate and forest products sectors.The Industrivärden investment providesus with a certain diversification of riskoutside these sectors. We also believethat the time is now right, after theprotracted slump in share prices, to in-crease our exposure to the stock market.

Holmen reported favorable earningsfor 2002. Although Holmen Paper(printing paper) reported slightlylower profits, its earnings level remainssatisfactory. Iggesund Paperboardposted much higher earnings than in2001, in part because of a positivetrend for its UK paperboard plant inWorkington and in part because of ahealthy trend for the Iggesund mill.Earnings from sawn timber productsalso improved.

At the end of 2002, Holmen acquired the power assets with a value of SEK 1.7 billion that it haddivested as part of a sale-leasebacktransaction at the beginning of the1980s.

In January 2002, Holmen’s Boardof Directors decided to commissionthe project planning of a new newsprintmachine to be located at Holmen’spaper mill in Spain. Due to the current-ly weak economic climate and low de-mand for newsprint, Holmen’s Boardof Directors decided in February2003 to postpone this investment until further notice.

Hufvudstaden reported improvedprofit for 2002 compared with thepreceding year, mainly as a result ofan increase in rental revenues. Profitwas charged with substantial rebuild-ing costs and was also inhibited bylosses of rental revenue resulting fromthe project planning of theNorrmalmstorg 1 and NK propertiesin central Stockholm.

Most of the Norrmalmstorg 1 property, in which Danske Bank andZara will be major tenants, will becompleted during 2003.

During 2002, Cardo divested itsRail business area for about SEK 2billion. The weak economic situationin Europe had an adverse impact onCardo’s earnings, particularly those ofthe Door business area. Cardo Pumpimproved its earnings, as a result of

the cost-saving measures it has imple-mented. The sale of Rail improvedCardo’s financial position significantly,resulting in a net cash position ofabout SEK 600 m. at the end of 2002.As a result, Cardo’s Board has decidedto propose that the company’s AnnualGeneral Meeting approve an extraor-dinary dividend of SEK 32 per share.

NCC’s earnings improved sharplyduring 2002, mainly because of thecost-saving measures implementedduring autumn 2001 and throughout2002.

In February, NCC’s Board ofDirectors decided to propose to theAnnual General Meeting that sharesin Altima, the company’s wholly owned rental-machinery subsidiary,be spun off to NCC shareholders. As aresult, NCC’s streamlining will contin-ue and Altima’s growth prospects willincrease if it operates as an indepen-dent company

Stadium’s sharp volume expansioncontinued in 2002. Several new storeswere opened, mainly in Sweden butalso in Finland and Denmark. It isestimated that the prospects for further expansion will be favorable inthe years ahead.

Outlook for 2003As a result of the proposed increasesin dividends from our shareholdings,including an extraordinary dividendof about SEK 322 m. from Cardo, theInvest business area is expected toshow a significant increase in earningsin 2003. Earnings from the Real Estatebusiness area are expected to remainat the same level as in 2002.

Net asset value

Calculation of net asset valueLundbergs’ net asset value can becalculated on the basis of marketvaluations of the Group’s assets,less liabilities and deferred tax onhidden reserves.

The Group’s estimated net assetvalue at year-end 2002 was SEK246 (247) per share before deferredtax1) and SEK 221 (220) after deferred tax2).

Reported shareholders’ equityaccounted for SEK 156 (152) of netasset value per share (11).

On February 19, 2003 estimatednet asset value per share was SEK240 before and SEK 217 after de-ferred tax.

1) Valuation principles for Real EstateThe value of the real estate portfolio is based on both independent and internal valuations. Internal valuations have been made of various parts of the holdings. The valuations are based on actual net revenues and actual operating expenses (including property tax) for 2002,while repair costs have been estimated on a standard basis. Residential properties have been charged with a repair cost corresponding to SEK 100 per square meter and commercial premises (retail, office and industrial properties) SEK 50 per square meter. Thereafter, the estimated operating net has been recomputed to include the estimated required yield for each part of the real estate holdings. In those cases where independent valuations have been conducted, these have replaced the internal valuations. The average yield for completed properties was 8.1% (7.7) in 2002. The estimated market value of the real estate portfolio was SEK 6,814 m., of which approximately SEK 1,386 m. was based on independent valuations.

Valuation principles for Invest Publicly traded securities are entered at actual market prices or, if options have been written, at the exercise price, if this is lower. Assets notlisted on the stock exchange are reported at book value

Other assets and liabilitiesOther assets and liabilities are reported at book value.

2) Deferred taxThe calculation of deferred tax is based on the difference between the market value and book value of properties and publicly traded shares. A tax rate of 28% has been used. Other deferred tax is included in the line Interest-free liabilities, net.

Low financial riskLundbergs’ strategy is to create sustainable value growth while main-taining financial balance. Since, to aconsiderable extent, Lundbergs is anequity-managing company, a strongfinancial position is an essential re-quirement.

Business concept and strategyLundberg Real Estate’s business con-cept is to manage and develop resi-dential and commercial properties inmunicipalities where favorablegrowth is expected.

The strategy is to have a decentral-ized, efficient and market-oriented organization that possesses expertknowledge of customer needs andcan thus offer well-managed proper-ties combined with good service.

Property-development operationsare also conducted, in order to generatethe best possible operational and development gains based on the potential of each individual property.

MarketThe economic slowdown that occurredduring the year had an adverse impact on the office-rental market inthe Stockholm region and other majormetropolitan regions, thus increasingvacancies and reducing rents. The de-mand for housing and retail premisesin major metropolitan regions andcities with colleges and universitiesremained favorable.

Lundbergs’ real estate portfolioconsists primarily of centrally locatedresidential and commercial properties,the majority of which were built bythe Company. The central location of

the properties in the various townsprovides competitive advantages inrelation to commercial and residen-tial properties situated in peripheralareas. The even distribution betweenresidential and commercial propertiesmakes the operations less sensitive toeconomic fluctuations.

The strong local presence ofLundbergs’ property-management operations results in excellent knowl-edge of the conditions and potentialin the various markets. Thanks to itsexpert knowledge of the market, supported by long-standing experi-ence of property-management andconstruction operations, the organi-zation is able to efficiently combinethe role of property manager with ahigh level of tenant service.

Organization and operationsProperty-management operationswere reorganized during the year andnow consist of five regions, with affili-ated management offices. Day-to-dayproperty-management and renting activities are conducted locally ineach municipality. Property-develop-ment operations are conducted centrally from the Norrköping office.The Real Estate business area’s HeadOffice in Norrköping has resources insuch fields as administration, opera-

tion, business control, finance, purchasing, information, IT and environmental and quality matters.

Quality and the environmentThe Real Estate business area’s opera-tions have been quality certified inaccordance with ISO 9001 since1998. As the main environmental issues are integrated into the existingquality-control system, a separate environmental certification based onISO 14001 is not considered necessary.

Thanks to the properties’ centrallocation, concentration to municipali-ties showing healthy growth and thepredominance of smaller apartments,the occupancy rate for the total hous-ing portfolio is high.

Invest

At the end of 2002, the Invest business area had assets with a total market value ofSEK 11.3 billion. Lundbergs has major shareholdings in the publicly traded com-panies Cardo, Holmen, Hufvudstaden, Industrivärden and NCC, and in Stadium,an unlisted retail company.In addition to managing its major shareholdings, the business area has mediumand short-term portfolio investments.

Page 21: 2002 English - Lundbergföretagen · Handelsbanken, SCA and Sandvik. For many years, Lundbergs’ invest-ments have been concentrated in the real estate and forest products sectors

Strategy and objectivesLundberg Invest’s business concept isto function as an active, long-termowner that manages and develops alimited number of investments inSwedish, mainly publicly traded,companies. The companies must beactive in industries in which the expe-rience and skills accumulated by theGroup can be utilized. These indus-tries are mainly construction and realestate, forest products and segmentsof the engineering and finance sectors.

The strategy pursued by Lundbergsin its role as an active and long-termowner is to contribute expertise andstability at the ownership level, whichcreates conditions in which the com-panies can conduct solid and prof-itable operations. Value is createdthrough long-term ownership respon-sibility and dedicated participation inwork on boards of directors.Lundbergs is represented, throughone or more members, on the boardsof directors of Cardo, Holmen,Hufvudstaden, NCC and Stadium.

In addition to the major, long-termshareholdings, the business areamakes medium and short-term portfo-lio investments. The medium-term in-vestments are mainly made on theSwedish stock market and Lundbergsdoes not function as an active ownerof the companies in this portfolio.Lundbergs invests in shares that areadjudged to have potential for favor-able value growth. The size of theseinvestments varies considerably overtime and is mainly dependent onmarket conditions and access to capi-tal within the Group. The investmenthorizon for medium-term investmentsis generally one or a few years.

Short-term investments in sharesand fixed-income instruments aremainly made through the subsidiary L E Lundberg Kapitalförvaltning. Theinvestment horizon for these invest-

ments is shorter than a year and nor-mally three to six months.

The ultimate objective is to gener-ate a high absolute return on investedcapital, meaning a long-term returnthat must substantially exceed theyield on a risk-free interest-bearinginvestment.

Structure of the stock portfolioLundbergs’ investments are concen-trated to a few major holdings. Thesemajor shareholdings accounted forSEK 11.1 billion of the Group’s totalinvestments in shares, which amount-ed to SEK 11.3 billion at the end of2002. Lundbergs’ major shareholdingsare Cardo, Holmen, Hufvudstaden,NCC, Stadium and the Industrivärdenholding acquired during 2002.

Lundbergs has been the principalowner of Cardo, a well-managedmultinational engineering companywith strong market positions, since1998. Over the years, Cardo hasshown a consistently high return oncapital employed, combined with theability to generate both organic andacquisition-based growth.

Lundbergs has had a major share-holding in Holmen since 1988 andhas been the company’s principalowner since 1993. Holmen, whichbecame a Lundberg subsidiary in2000, is a financially solid forestproducts company, with strong posi-tions in the European market forwood-containing printing papers andhigh-grade paperboard.

Hufvudstaden, which has been asubsidiary of Lundbergs since 1998,has real estate holdings that are con-centrated in the heart of inner-cityStockholm and Gothenburg.

Lundbergs has held a substantialownership interest in NCC since1997, when the company mergedwith Siab, in which Lundbergs wasthe principal shareholder. NCC has a

strong position in the Nordic con-struction market. In recent years,NCC has worked proactively to im-prove its profitability and consolidateits balance sheet.

Since 2001, Lundbergs has owned20% of the unlisted companyStadium, Sweden’s largest privatelyowned sports-products and sports-fashion chain. This high-growth com-pany aims to be the leading player inthe Nordic market by 2005.

During 2002, a major sharehold-ing was acquired in Industrivärden,an investment company with substan-tial holdings in a number of Sweden’sbest-managed companies. TheIndustrivärden investment also in-creases the diversity of Lundbergs’stock portfolio.

During recent years, the scope ofthe medium-term portfolio has beenlimited. The year-end market value ofthe Group’s medium-term invest-ments, which comprised a holding inVolvo, was SEK 121 m.

Investment activityDuring 2002, Lundbergs made majorinvestments in Industrivärden, whichamounted to 8.7 million Series Ashares at year-end, with a total acqui-sition value of SEK 936 m. Most of theIndustrivärden investment was con-ducted during the third and fourthquarters.

Lundbergs acquired 200,000Holmen shares during the year and si-multaneously issued call options witha corresponding underlying value tosenior Holmen executives. No otherpurchases or sales affecting the majorshareholdings were effected duringthe year. A total of 70,400 Lundbergshares were repurchased during 2002for SEK 12 m.

L E Lundberg Kapitalförvaltning ABL E Lundberg Kapitalförvaltning is awholly owned subsidiary that tradesin shares and other financial instru-ments. The objective of operations isto utilize macroeconomic and corpo-rate analyses in order to generate a fa-vorable return on capital employed.

In addition to securities trading, thecompany accounts for the analysisand follow-up of other investmentswithin the Invest business area.

The securities traded include equi-ties, bonds and derivatives of theseassets. Although shares listed onStockholmsbörsen account for mostof the investments, investments mayalso be made in other stock marketsin Europe and North America.

L E Lundberg Kapitalförvaltningreported an operating loss of SEK 41m. in 2002. The weak earnings weredue to the sharp stock-market declineexperienced during the year. Grossyear-end exposure amounted to SEK117 m. The operations continued todevelop during 2002 and, for exam-ple, one new employee was recruit-ed. The organization currently con-sists of five employees.

The year on the stock marketThe 2002 fiscal year was another yearin which the stock market suffered theconsequences of the wave of specula-tion that characterized the market

during the latter part of the 1990s.With the benefit of hindsight, we canconclude that the faith placed inshare investments during that periodwas excessive. As a result, companiesthat had access to “cheap” capital,not least in the high-tech sector, in-dulged in over-investment. Companypresidents with strong financial inter-ests went hunting for quarterly profitsusing what were occasionally ques-tionable methods. Even traditionallyconservative investors, such as pen-sion funds, increased the share of eq-uities in their portfolios to levels thatdid not take into account the risk ofnot being able to meet their obliga-tions. These imbalances have had tobe adjusted in recent years. Sharplyreduced profit expectations, account-ing scandals that came to light andenforced sale of shares had a consid-erable impact on stock-market perfor-mance in 2002.

The main conclusion we canmake when summing up the year onthe stock-market is that a large pro-portion of the world’s stock ex-changes declined during 2002. TheSwedish stock market has not experi-enced such a collapse in a single yearsince 1931. In terms of figures,Affärsvärlden’s General Index plum-meted by 37% in 2002, while thedrop noted between the market peakin March 2000 and the level at theend of 2002 was a full 63%.

2002 was the third consecutiveyear marked by a negative stock-mar-ket trend, a highly unusual occur-rence. The last time this happenedwas in connection with Sweden’sKreuger Crash, when the stock marketfell by 65% over a four-year period(1929-32).

Stockholmsbörsen was one of theexchanges that showed the weakestprice trend worldwide in 2002, andFrankfurt was the only one of the ma-

jor stock exchanges to show a weakerperformance. In the US, the yearclosed with declines for the main in-dexes. Dow Jones Industrial Averagedropped by 17%, S & P 500 by 23%and NASDAQ by 32%.

During late 2001 and early 2002,many economic indicators pointedtowards an improvement. Hopes ofan economic recovery increased andexchange-listed companies were ex-pected to report significant profithikes. Meanwhile, it was becomingincreasingly evident that the Enronmatter was turning into one of themost serious accounting scandals inAmerican corporate history, resultingin eroded confidence in the stockmarket. Affärsvärlden’s General Indexclosed the first quarter at about thesame level as it entered it.

Increased pessimism about theeconomy, combined with escalatingconcern that the US economy wouldslump back into recession, as well asthe increasingly evident threat of awar in Iraq, were the main factors thatimpacted on stock-market perfor-mance in the second and third quar-ters. Profit forecasts were downgrad-ed repeatedly, while the unveiling ofnew accounting scandals in Americaadded fuel to the distrust towardsshares as an investment alternative.The stock-market trend pointedsharply downwards. Affärsvärlden’sGeneral Index lost 42% betweenApril and the end of September.Although stock markets made variousattempts to break the negative trend,each of these was brought to shameby gloomy economic messages andreduced profit forecasts. The negativestock-market trend forced Swedish in-surance companies to sell shares tomeet their statutory solvency require-ments, which exerted further down-ward pressure on prices during thethird quarter.

After the low point of 2002 wasreached in mid-October, stock mar-kets moved sharply upwards for twomonths, at the same time as a numberof economic indicators stabilized.During December, however, the neg-ative sentiment that had characterizedthe market during most of the year re-turned. Profit taking, escalating wor-ries about war and disappointmentabout weak Christmas trading figuresin the US led the stock market down-wards again. Another factor that hadan adverse impact on stock marketstowards the end of the year was theprice trend for oil. Oil prices rose25% from mid-November to year-end, due to such factors as the threatof war in Iraq and the strike among oilworkers in Venezuela. Affärsvärlden’sGeneral Index lost just over 13% inDecember 2002.

The stock market declined on abroad front during the year, with all ofAffärsvärlden’s 9 sector indexes losingground. The telecom index droppedthe most, plummeting by 67%, main-ly due to investment cutbacks amongtelecom operators and uncertainty re-garding the build-out of 3G. The in-dexes for Media/Entertainment and ITalso declined sharply, by about 65%.The sector indexes that fared bestwere Commodities and ConsumerProducts, which fell by only 6 and13%, respectively.

Share performance and dividendsThe year-end market value of thestock portfolio was SEK 11.3 billion.Adjusted for net investments, the val-ue declined by 4% during the year,compared with a drop of 37% forAffärsvärlden’s General Index.Dividends received during 2002 to-taled SEK 435 m. The total return –that is, the change in value includingdividends – of plus 1% was signifi-cantly better than the SIX Return

Index, which fell by 36% during theyear.

In terms of share prices, Lundbergs’major shareholdings showed a mixedperformance during the year. Cardoshares fared very well, rising by 28%,considerably better than the compa-rable index, Affärsvärlden’s index forIndustrial Conglomerates, whichdropped by 43%. Holmen shares de-clined by 11%, slightly worse thanthe 8% decline in Affärsvärlden’sForest Products Index. Hufvudstaden’sshare price rose 3%, whileAffärsvärlden’s Real Estate Index increased by 4%. Affärsvärlden’sConstruction and Civil EngineeringIndex dropped by 28%, while NCCshares fared slightly better, falling by24%. Most of Lundbergs’ Industrivärdenholding was acquired during the second half of the year, meaningwhen a large part of the stock-marketdownturn had already passed. Theprice of Industrivärden sharesdropped by 39% during the year,while the value of Lundbergs’ holdingdeclined by 7%. In total, dividends ofSEK 425 m. were received from themajor shareholdings.

The medium-term portfolio con-sisted solely of Volvo shares duringthe year. Volvo shares showed a nega-tive price trend, falling by 19%, whileAffärsvärlden’s Automotive index de-clined by 15%. Dividends receivedfrom Volvo amounted to SEK 8 m.

CARDO

Significant events during the yearCardo is a multinational engineeringgroup with strong positions in themarkets for doors and pumps.Operations are divided into two busi-ness areas: Cardo Door and CardoPump. The Cardo Rail business areawas divested during the year. Cardo ismainly active in Europe, which ac-counts for 85% of total sales. TheCardo group, which has productionunits in 11 countries and sales unitsin 30 countries, has approximately6,500 employees, of whom 80%work outside Sweden.

Cardo Door’s operations are divid-ed into four segments: industrialdoors, service, docking equipmentand residential garage doors. Thebusiness area is one of the world’slargest suppliers of industrial doorsand Europe’s leading supplier ofdocking equipment. Products in thesesegments are marketed under suchbrands as Crawford and Hafa. CardoDoor is also one of Europe’s largestmanufacturers of residential garagedoors, which are marketed undersuch brands as Crawford, Hendersonand Normstahl. Cardo Door has builtup an extensive service organization,making it the market leader in the ser-vice segment of the door sector andthe only door company in Europe thatoffers a comprehensive service net-work.

Cardo Pump is one of Europe’slargest manufacturers of pumps, agi-tators and aerators, for use in the wa-ter-supply, sewage-treatment, indus-trial and HVAC sectors. As a result ofacquisitions and in-house product de-velopment, Cardo Pump has estab-lished one of the broadest productranges in the market during recentyears. Its products are marketed underthe ABS and Pumpex brands. Thebusiness area also includes Lorentzen& Wettre, a world-leading producer

of measuring equipment for the pulpand paper industry.

Cardo’s strategy is to further devel-op as an international engineeringgroup and as a leading supplier ofhigh-quality products and systemsthat have a solid after-market. The af-ter-market comprises sales of spareparts, as well as repairs, maintenanceand upgrading services. Cardo’s finan-cial objectives over a business cycleare profitable sales growth of 15% peryear, of which approximately half is tobe generated organically and the remainder through acquisitions, and areturn on capital employed exceeding20%. The board of directors’ aim is topropose that a dividend correspond-ing to 30–50% of net consolidatedprofit be paid to shareholders eachyear.

• Cardo enhanced its position in theUK market for industrial doorsthrough the acquisition of AmberDoors in January. The acquired com-pany, which has annual sales of SEK240 m. and 260 employees, is one ofthe UK’s largest producers of industri-al doors. The acquisition price wasSEK 220 m.

• Nopon Oy, a Finnish company thatis one of the world’s leading manu-facturers of aeration products for bio-logical sewage treatment, was alsoacquired in January. Nopon has an-nual sales of SEK 120 m. and 65 em-ployees. This acquisition supplementsCardo Pumps’ product range in thewater-supply and sewage-treatmentsegments.

• In July, Cardo concluded an agree-ment regarding the divestment of theRail business area to Vestar CapitalPartners. The transaction was final-ized during September. The salesprice of approximately SEK 2 billionfor a debt-free company generated atax-free capital gain of SEK 323 m.

• In August, Cardo Door received anorder from China for threeMegadoors. The order, Cardo’s largestto date in China, was worth nearlySEK 30 m. Cardo’s Megadoors are de-signed for extremely large openingsand can be manufactured in virtuallylimitless sizes.

• Cardo’s board has decided to pro-pose that the Annual General Meetingon April 7, 2003 approve an ordinarydividend of SEK 8 per share and an extraordinary dividend of SEK 32 pershare for 2002. The dividend proposalshould be viewed in the light of thesale of the Rail business area.

HOLMEN

Significant events during the yearHolmen is a specialist forest productsgroup with annual production capacityof 2.3 million tons of newsprint andmagazine paper and virgin-fiber-basedpaperboard. Europe is by far the compa-ny’s predominant market accounting forapproximately 90% of sales. TheHolmen group has about 5,100 em-ployees, of whom slightly more than20% work outside Sweden.

Holmen is organized in five busi-ness areas. Holmen Paper producesnewsprint and magazine paper at threeSwedish and one Spanish mill. Its prod-ucts are used mainly in the productionof newspapers, magazines, catalogs andadvertising materials.

Iggesund Paperboard produces vir-gin-fiber-based paperboard at twoSwedish and one UK mill. Its productsare used mainly for consumer packag-ing, as well as graphic-design applica-tions, such as book covers, postcardsand brochures.

By owning forest, power and paper-recycling companies, Holmen gainsknowledge of and control over key rawmaterials in terms of purchasing, price,availability and quality. IggesundTimber manufactures timber products ata sawmill in Sweden. Holmen Skog ac-counts for timber supply to the group’sSwedish units and manages the group’sholdings of approximately one millionhectares of productive forestland.Annual felling of forest assets amountsto 2.5 million cubic meters. HolmenKraft is responsible for the group’s hold-ings of hydroelectric power assets andelectricity supply to the group’s Swedishunits. Each year, approximately 1,100GWh of electrical power is generated atwholly owned or jointly owned hy-dropower plants in Sweden.

The group’s strategy is to focus ongrowth and development within theHolmen Paper and IggesundPaperboard business areas, which iswhere the company holds strong posi-tions in markets showing stable growth.The aim is to achieve growth in excess

of the market average. Attractive prod-ucts and product development create aplatform for growth, which will be gen-erated organically and through selectiveacquisitions. A focus on high qualityand low production costs in each prod-uct group gives Holmen a competitiveedge. R&D activities, which are guidedby customer requirements, focus mainlyon developing better products and moreefficient processes.

Holmen’s financial objective is toachieve a debt/equity multiple of0.5–0.7. The goal for ordinary dividendpayments corresponds to 5–7% of share-holders’ equity. Extraordinary dividendsand share repurchases may be effectedat times when this is permitted by thecompany’s business performance andcapital structure. Holmen aims to showfavorable profitability in the form of a re-turn that consistently and sustainably ex-ceeds the cost of capital in the market.

• In March, the Holmen Board decidedto invest SEK 75 m. in a new plant fortimber sorting at the Iggesund sawmill.

• In June, Holmen exercised its optionto repurchase 541 GWh of hydropowerin the Umeälv River for slightly morethan SEK 1.7 billion. The transaction became effective december 31th, 2002.

• In Hallstavik, Holmen’s new machinefor producing newspaper inserts, news-paper supplements and advertisingleaflets was inaugurated in September.This is the largest machine of its type inWestern Europe and the most modernmachine in the world for the productionof high-brightness MF magazine paper.The investment in the new machine andin an upgraded pulp and bleachingprocess cost a total of SEK 1.85 billion.

• The Holmen Board decided inFebruary 2003 to postpone until furthernotice the decision to build a newnewsprint machine at PapeleraPeninsular, the group’s Spanish mill. Themain reason for this is that thenewsprint market appears to be takinglonger than expected to recover. Thecompany will complete the pre-projectplanning process and intends to pur-chase the necessary land.

Ongoing tax disputesLundbergs – Lundbergs has filed an appeal with the county appeal court regarding a decision ma-

de by the tax authorities in December 2002, whereby the Parent Company’s group contributions to asubsidiary were not approved.An appeal has also been filed with the same court regarding a decisionby the tax authorities to refuse to exempt leasing fees from taxation.These cases trace their roots topreviously rejected claims for value depletion in the 1989 – 1991 tax returns.The appealed decisionsshould be viewed in the same light.The combined amount for tax and charges is SEK 93 m.The Companydoes not share the tax authorities’ opinion in either case and believes,based on the arguments alreadypresented in appeal documents, that it is not necessary to post a provision in the accounts.

Holmen – Holmen has filed an appeal regarding a decision made by the tax authorities inDecember 2002 regarding a tax surcharge imposed on a Holmen group subsidiary.The aggregateamount of taxes and charges is approximately SEK 500 m.The company does not share the tax aut-horities’ view on the case and considers that the matter has already been subject to legal proceedingsand settled.The tax authorities examined the matter as early as 1998 and rejected the deduction atthe time. Holmen appealed that decision and the county appeal court found in favor of Holmen andaccepted the deduction in a judgment made on May 22, 2001.The tax authorities did not appealagainst that judgment, which therefore became legally effective. Holmen believes that the case for im-posing a tax surcharge lacks foundation and does not share the tax authorities’ view regarding thematter. In view of this, the company has not posted a provision for the tax surcharge in its accounts.

Hufvudstaden – A tax process within Vasaterminalen is under way to determine whether or not ataxable value is to be assigned. Provisions have been posted for tax and interest payments during theperiod of grace in accordance with the ruling. During the year, the company was granted permissionto appeal the matter in the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court.

Accounting principles and commentary

General accounting principlesThe Annual Report has been prepared in accordance with theAnnual Accounts Act and the Financial Accounting StandardsCouncil’s recommendations. As of January 1, 2002, the fol-lowing new recommendations from the Financial AccountingStandards Council, which became effective on the same date,are applied: RR 1:00 Consolidated accounting, RR 15Intangible assets, RR 16 Provisions, contingent liabilities andpossible assets, RR 17 Write-downs, RR 19 Operations underliquidation, RR 21 Loan expenses and RR 23 Informationabout closely related companies. The new accounting princi-ples had no impact on reported earnings or the balance sheetat December 31, 2002.

Assets, provisions and liabilities have been computed at acquisition value, unless otherwise stated.

Reporting of revenuesThe reporting of revenues occurs in pace with the transfer totenants or purchasers of significant risks and benefits associatedwith the Company’s services and products.

Depreciation/amortizationDepreciation/amortization according to plan is based on theacquisition value of assets, where relevant after adjustment forwrite-ups or write-downs, and their estimated economic life.The acquisition of the former associated companies Cardo andStadium gave rise to goodwill. In view of the long-term andstrategic nature of these acquisitions, this goodwill will beamortized straight line over a period of 20 years. The sameprinciple applies to Holmen’s holding of Papelera Peninsularshares (Note 1).

Depreciation/amortization is computed in accordance withthe following percentages/economic life:• Machinery and equipment, 10 - 33%• Building equipment, 5 - 10%• Production machinery, 5 - 8%• Buildings classified as fixed assets, 1 - 5%• Production machinery, 5 - 8%• Forest roads, 10%• Goodwill, 5 - 20%• Land improvements classified as fixed assets, 3.75 - 5%

Items affecting comparabilityThe Swedish Accounting Standards Council’sRecommendation No. 4 is applied, which means that the ef-fect on profit of special events and transactions of special sig-nificance are specified within each profit concept. Wheneverapplicable, items affecting comparability are reported on theirown lines in the income statement under the relevant area ofoperations.

Loan expensesLoan expenses are charged against earnings during the periodto which they are attributable, regardless of how the borrowedfunds are used.

TaxesThe Company and the Group apply the Financial AccountingStandards Council’s RR 9 Recommendation, Income Taxes.Total tax consists of current tax and deferred tax. Taxes are re-ported in the income statement, with the exception of itemswhere the underlying transactions are reported directly againstshareholders’ equity, in which case the relating tax effect is re-ported in shareholders’ equity. Current tax (previously calledPaid tax) is the tax to be paid or received for the current year.Adjustment of current tax attributable to previous periods is al-so included here.

Deferred tax is calculated in accordance with the balance-sheet method, on the basis of the temporary differences be-tween the reported and taxable value of assets and liabilities.The amounts are computed on the basis of expectations ofhow the temporary differences will offset each other and byapplying the tax rates and tax regulations that have been de-cided or announced at year-end. Temporary differences arenot taken into account for consolidated goodwill or in differ-ences pertaining to shares in subsidiaries or associated com-panies that are not expected to become subject to tax in theforeseeable future. Untaxed reserves within a legal entity arereported including deferred tax liabilities. In the consolidatedfinancial statements, however, untaxed reserves are dividedbetween deferred tax liabilities and shareholders’ equity.

Deferred tax receivables in deductible temporary differencesand tax loss carryforwards are only reported to the extent thatthey are likely to result in lower tax payments in the future.

In cases involving pure asset-and-liability acquisitions, thevaluation of deferred tax is based on the market value.

ReceivablesReceivables are reported in the amounts expected to be re-ceived, after individual valuation.

Receivables and liabilities in foreign currenciesReceivables and liabilities in foreign currencies are translatedinto Swedish kronor at year-end rates or, in the case of hedg-ing, the forward rate. Exchange-rate differences are includedin operating profit, with the exception of exchange-rate differ-ences on short-term investments, cash and bank balances, fi-nancial liabilities and interest-bearing provisions, which arereported in net financial items. Exchange-rate differences per-taining to the hedging of future currency flows are included inprofit during the same period as the underlying currency flow(Note 1).

The currency composition of financial liabilities haschanged as a result of the use of forward contracts. These for-

Page 52: 2002 English - Lundbergföretagen · Handelsbanken, SCA and Sandvik. For many years, Lundbergs’ invest-ments have been concentrated in the real estate and forest products sectors

Continued, Accounting principles

ward contracts are valued at the year-end exchange rate and theunrealized gain/loss is reported net as a liability. Any forwardpremium/deduction is regarded as interest, becomes subject toaccrual and is reported among net interest expense (Note 1).

Loans and forward contracts in foreign currency can be usedto reduce the exchange-rate effect on translation of the net as-sets of foreign subsidiaries into SEK. The exchange-rate differ-ences on these loans are eliminated from the income state-ment, to the extent that they are matched by exchange-ratedifferences on foreign net assets, after taking tax effects intoaccount, and transferred directly to shareholders’ equity in thebalance sheet. Such hedging is based on the consolidated val-ue of the net assets by currency (Note 1).

Short-term investmentsShort-term investments that are reported among current assetsare valued individually according to the lowest value princi-ple. Interest and currency futures are expensed to the extentthat unrealized losses exist on the closing date.

Properties reported as fixed assetsThese properties are normally entered at acquisition value lessdepreciation according to plan. The acquisition value of prop-erties constructed by the Company consists of direct costs plusa reasonable share of indirect costs. Write-downs are bookedin cases where the market value of properties is lower than theacquisition value.

Properties classified as current assetsProperties classified as current assets are valued in accordancewith the lowest value principle per property or per valuationunit. The requisite write-down and reversal of previous write-downs in accordance with this principle are reported as“Write-downs.”

Inventories Inventories are valued at acquisition or manufacturing cost, af-ter a deduction of 3% for obsolescence, or real value,whichever is lower. The acquisition value of proprietarily-de-veloped finished products consists of direct manufacturingcosts and a reasonable portion of indirect costs. The real valueof finished products is the sales value less estimated salescosts. The real value of timber, pulp, other raw materials andsimilar items is the replacement value or the acquisition valueafter a deduction for actual obsolescence, whichever is lower(Note 1).

Consolidated accountsLundbergs holds a majority of the voting rights in Holmen andHufvudstaden. Thus, in accordance with the Annual AccountsAct, Hufvudstaden and Vasaterminalen should be reported assubsidiaries. At year-end, Lundbergs accounted for 44.2% ofthe share capital in Hufvudstaden and 27.5% of the share cap-

ital in Holmen, which gives rise to a large minority share inthe consolidated financial statements, if the Annual AccountsAct is applied.

In order to provide a fair description of the Group’s opera-tions, however, reporting holdings of shares in publicly tradedsubsidiaries and associated companies from the perspective ofcash flow and net asset value is a better method. The holdingsare therefore treated as pure shareholdings (other long-termholdings of securities) in the consolidated financial statements.Consolidation in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act ispresented in Note 1.

Holdings in joint ventures are reported in accordance withthe proportional consolidation method. This means that thecompanies are reported as if they were subsidiaries but withthe difference that only the Group’s participation in the com-panies’ revenues and expenses, and assets and liabilities, arereported in the Group’s income statement and balances sheet,respectively.

Complete consolidated financial statements in accordancewith the Annual Accounts Act (Note 1)The Group’s income statement and balance sheet in Note 1are prepared in accordance with the Swedish FinancialAccounting Standards Council’s recommendation concerningconsolidated accounts (RR 1:00).

An income statement divided by type of costs has been usedfor the accounts of Holmen, while the function-dividedmethod has been used for all other parts of the Group. Theconsolidated accounts prepared in accordance with theAnnual Accounts Act include the Parent Company and allcompanies in which the Parent Company owns, directly or in-directly, more than 50 percent of the voting rights.

The purchase method is used for the preparation of theGroup’s accounts. Earnings in companies purchased during theyear are included in the Group’s income statement only for theperiod after the date of purchase. Surplus value is amortized inaccordance with the principles for the type of asset concerned.

The Financial Accounting Standards Council’s recommen-dation RR8 is used for the translation of the accounts of for-eign subsidiaries.

Shareholdings in companies in which the Group holds morethan 20 percent and a maximum of 50 percent of the votingrights or in some other manner has a decisive influence on op-erations and financial control are normally reported in accor-dance with the equity method. In the consolidated financialstatements, this entails that the book value of shares in associ-ated companies corresponds to the share in the associatedcompanies’ shareholders’ equity, as well as any residual valuefor consolidated surplus value. The amortization period forsurplus value is 5 to 20 years.

The Group’s share in the profit of associated companies be-fore tax and adjusted for amortization of acquired surplus val-ue is reported as “Profit from participations in associated com-

panies” in the consolidated income statement. The Group’s participation in the reported tax of associated

companies is included in the Group’s tax costs. Profit partici-pations accumulated after the acquisition of associated com-panies and which have not yet been realized through dividenddistribution, are allocated to the equity participation reserve,which represents part of the Group’s restricted shareholders’equity.

Information about the GroupThe Parent Company´s purchases from other Group compa-nies amounted to SEK 3 m. The Parent Company´s sales to other Group companies amounted to SEK 0 m.

Group and shareholder contributionsIn the Parent Company income statement, Group contribu-tions are now entered directly in shareholders’ equity. Thecomparative figures for the preceding year have been adjustedaccordingly.

Shareholder contributions are entered directly in the recipi-ent’s shareholders’ equity and are capitalized as shares andparticipations in the provider’s accounts, to the extent that nowrite-down is required.

Convertible debenture loan and warrants in Holmen (Note 1)The size of the loan has been computed on the basis of themarket interest rate at the time it was raised. The difference be-tween the principal computed in this way and the amount car-ried forward is entered in the premium reserve. Interest ac-crued during the term of the loan is added successively to theloan liability. Payments received for issued warrants are report-ed in the premium reserve.

Cash flow statementsThe cash flow statements are prepared in accordance with theindirect method, in line with the Financial AccountingStandards Council’s Recommendation No. 7.

ProvisionsIn accordance with the Financial Accounting StandardsCouncil’s recommendation RR 16 Provisions, contingent lia-bilities and possible assets, a provision is reported in the bal-ance sheet when the company has a formal or informal com-mitment resulting from an event that has occurred and it isprobable that an outflow of resources will be required to settlethe commitment and the amount concerned can be reliablyestimated.

Contingent liabilitiesA contingent liabilities is reported as a memorandum item if:

- there is a possible commitment deriving from events thathave occurred whose existence can only be confirmed if

one or more uncertain future events that are not fully within the control of the company occur or fail to occur,

or- a commitment deriving from events that have occurred has

not been reported as a liability or entered as a provision because it is not certain that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the commitment or it is not possible to estimate the amount of the commitment with sufficient accuracy.
