Haldex Interim report, January

Growth continued and operating income improved
April - June

Net sales amounted to SEK 1,124 (1,067) m, equivalent to a growth of 5% compared
with the same period of the previous year. After currency adjustments, net sales
increased by 4%.

Operating income excluding one-off items amounted to SEK 110 (76) m,
corresponding to an operating margin of 9.7 (7.1)%. Including one-off items,
operating income was SEK 103 (-44) m and the operating margin was 9.2 (-4.1)%.

Net income after tax increased to SEK 64 (-48) m and earnings per share
increased to SEK 1.44 (-1.09). Net income was impacted by one-off items in the
amount of SEK 7 (120) m in Q2.

Cash flow from operating activities increased to SEK 116 (88) m. There was a
negative impact on cash flow in the amount of SEK 7 (23) m in the quarter due to
the ongoing restructuring programs.

In Q2, Haldex entered the final phase of negotiations with the German trade
unions concerning Haldex’ operations in Heidelberg. However, the negotiations
have not been finalized as of the publication of this report. Haldex estimates
that the forecasted total savings for the ongoing restructuring program will be
adjusted down slightly, which will be announced when the parties have reached a
final agreement.

Comment from Bo Annvik, President and CEO:

”The development in the first half of the year has been strong for Haldex. The
operating margin continued to improve compared to both Q1 this year and the
first half of the previous year. With an operating margin close to 9%, we
exceeded our long-term target of 7% and we will therefore update our financial
targets in the beginning of October in conjunction with our capital market day.

Net sales increased by 7%, which is in part due to the successes we have had
with our investment in disc brakes. In total, we have won contracts with several
European trailer manufacturers with an estimated value of SEK 650 m from 2014 to
2017, with the majority of this volume coming in the latter part of that period.

We are pleased that the German negotiations are coming close to a close so that
we can implement the final phase of our restructuring program. Our operations in
Heidelberg will be gradually restructured through the end of 2015. Our remaining
operations are based on the core expertise we have involving air suspension
products, which will result in an effective and focused unit that will
contribute positively to Haldex in the coming years.”
