Alfa Laval AB (publ) Interim report July 1 - September 30, 2015

“Net sales and result reached record levels for a third quarter. At the same
time strong cash flows contributed to a reduction of the net debt in relation to
EBITDA to below 1.8. The order intake was 8.7 billion – a sequential downturn of
5 percent, mainly explained by fewer large orders being booked.

Within Process Technology the order intake increased somewhat, thanks to the
Food & Life Science segment. Demand from the oil and gas sector was on the whole
slightly higher than the previous quarter, with good growth in the mid­stream
business and petro­chemicals. Marine & Diesel showed a sequential downturn,
reflecting lower demand for new equipment. A favourable mix of ship contracts
dampened the downturn. Service showed growth, with a particularly good
development within pumping systems. Within the Equipment division the order
intake decreased sequentially, partly due to vacation effects and a large non
-recurring order, partly due to lower demand within Sanitary.

Asia showed a positive development. The market in China grew somewhat, where
especially the food related demand developed well. The U.S. showed a decline,
primarily explained by larger orders not being repeated. The oil and gas related
business was unchanged compared to the previous quarter.”
