Lindab's sales development April and May 2010
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
At Lindab's Investor Day, opening at 12.00 today at Operaterassen in Stockholm,
the President and CEO David Brodetsky comments on Lindab's sales performance up
to 31 May 2010.
The market and sales situation for April - May 2010
"Sales during April and May show a positive development, partly due to some
catching up following the harsh winter, and partly due to improved demand within
the residential sector, particularly in the Swedish market. However, it is too
early to say whether this is a sign of any general improvement in demand."
"The sales trend confirms the expectations that were communicated in connection
with the report for the first quarter."
Steel price development
Raw material cost increases generally, combined with higher global demand for
steel, are expected to result in substantial steel price increases during the
third quarter. Lindab will increase the prices of its products to compensate for
material cost increases.
Market outlook
"We expect that 2010 will remain challenging. The recovery in Lindab's main
segment, non-residential construction, is expected in the second half of 2011.
We expect the residential segment to recover in 2010."
End
The programme for Lindab's Investor Day also includes updates of the strategy,
vision and the financial targets.
The presentations from the day's programme will be available on Lindab's website
at the end of the day.
