Statement by the President and CEO:
"Once again we can look back on a very good year for ASSA ABLOY, despite tough market conditions in a global recession. Sales rose 12 percent to SEK 46,619 M and organic growth was 2 percent. Operating income increased 13 percent to SEK 7,501 M and the margin strengthened further to 16.1 percent.
Our performance in 2012 confirms once again the long-term strength of the Group’s strategies and action programs. during five years of financial crisis, ASSA ABLOY has increased sales by 34 percent and operating income by 36 percent, with a continued strong cash flow and good financial stability. Excellent performance in recent years has consolidated ASSA ABLOY’s position as the largest global supplier of door opening solutions, providing a sound basis for continued profitable growth and value creation."
