Lindab's President and CEO, David Brodetsky commented:
"Much of Europe was greatly affected by the severe winter in January and
February. In the Nordic countries the difficult conditions extended into March.
This has adversely affected demand, especially within Building Components and
Building Systems.
It is hard to know how much of the sales decrease was due to the weather and how
much to the recession. We therefore cannot draw any conclusions or identify
trends based on the demand in the first quarter. However, we can confirm that
towards the end of March and in early April, with the milder spring weather,
seasonally adjusted daily activity levels were not showing any improvement
relative to the fourth quarter of 2009 and were well below the levels for the
full year of 2009.
Looking ahead, we have received clear signals of significant steel price
increases in the coming six months. We will be adjusting our sales prices to
compensate for these.
Regarding the outlook for 2010, Lindab is a late cyclical company and we expect
that the market conditions will remain difficult. Although the residential
segment is expected to start to recover in some markets in 2010, this segment
overall only accounts for 20 percent of our sales. Approximately 80 percent of
our sales are in the non-residential construction segment, which is not expected
to show a recovery until the latter part of 2011."
