6 <strong>Scana</strong> <strong>Industrier</strong> <strong>ASA</strong>Group chief executive’s commentsand hydropower developments and to marine and oil and gasactivities throughout the world.We have strengthened our position as a world leader in theproduction of large arms for forklift trucks and we supply rolls tothe state-owned Chinese companies that produce railway tracksand other products related to the major initiatives in new infrastructurein China. <strong>Scana</strong> has extensive expertise in steel and wehave found interesting niches where we can be a market leader.An important collaborating partner within the oil and gas areafiled for a bankruptcy petition early in 2009. Consequently, <strong>Scana</strong>had to make a larger provision for loss in the 2008 accounts.We expect a new owner to take over the ship and that ourequipment will be put to use at some point. We aim to expandthe customer base and product range within the Oil and Gasbusiness area. This will increase our robustness and put us in abetter position to achieve the profit performance we aim for.Our marine companies have implemented extensive adaptationmeasures in the recent years. The transition to more advancedsystems combined with a greater focus on service and after saleshas led to a good improvement in profits. Through the acquisitionof ABB’s marine activity in Poland (<strong>Scana</strong> Zamech) we have amore extensive product range, which increases the marketpotential. We are expecting a good year in 2009 but 2010 and2011 are expected to be more demanding due to fewer contractson new ships. However, we have strengthened our competitiveposition and aim to make use of this in the coming years.In 2008, <strong>Scana</strong> had a record high turnover and operating result.Leading customers that set stringent requirements for us have,together with a good product composition and hard work in allsubsidiaries, led to continued growth and high added value.However, also for <strong>Scana</strong>, the consequences of the financial crisisare manifesting themselves in a reduced order intake. We aretherefore adapting the operations via changes in the productcomposition and efficiency measures. We have also reducedthe number of employees in some of the businesses in orderto adjust the workforce to the current level of activity. This ischallenging for the involved, but necessary. I am certain that thesemeasures are strengthening the group and will put us in an evenbetter position when the market turns.We secured a number of strategically important contracts in thesteel area in 2008. This confirms that <strong>Scana</strong> is one of the worldleaders within steel and steel components in our marketsegment. We supply advanced products for both wind powerIn 2008, the decision was made to invest in a number of projectsaimed at making the group more robust. We established <strong>Scana</strong>Offshore Services Inc. in Houston through an acquisition.This provides a foothold in a strategically important market andfor a further development in the oil and gas market segment.The acquisition of <strong>Scana</strong> Zamech in Poland, which was carriedout in 2009, gives the group access to important expertise withinthe development and design of propulsion systems. We haveinvested NOK 100 million in the Swedish steel companies inorder to increase capacity and reduce risk and costs, in additionwe are involved in the expansion of Jørpeland Kraft, which is anattractive investment both in financial and operational terms.Combined with other investments in our business areas, this willprovide an exciting foundation for <strong>Scana</strong> in the years ahead.I am completely committed in delivering precision and quality.<strong>Scana</strong> has made vast improvements since the unsatisfactorydelivery precision at the end of 2006. We supply quality productsthroughout the world. However, we will continue to improveand thereby increase our competitive power. In order to ensureeffective operations, we have managers who are closely involved


<strong>Scana</strong> <strong>Industrier</strong> <strong>ASA</strong>7in their respective business areas, who are passionate about theproduction, and who interacts with the customers in order tounderstand their needs and contribute actively to meet theirchallenges. <strong>Scana</strong> needs managers who cultivate cooperation andbusiness opportunities both with customers and internally in the<strong>Scana</strong> group. I believe we are on the right track to achieve this.<strong>Scana</strong> is a green company and produces some of the cleaneststeel that is available, which is used in our own products and byour customers. The company aims to have minimal impact on theenvironment in its production, regardless of where in the worldwe are.I believe <strong>Scana</strong> is well equipped to meet the challenges and notleast the opportunities that lies ahead. Competent and adaptableemployees, effective management in the operations and quickdecision-making all ensures that <strong>Scana</strong> will continue to yieldresults that satisfy the owners, customers and employees alike.We don’t sit there and wait, we roll up our sleeves and makethings happen so that we are ahead of the situation.I want to thank all the employees for their considerable effortsin 2008, and especially for how you meet the new challenges.Absence due to illness of only 3 per cent illustrates that we havededicated employees and a good working environment in <strong>Scana</strong>.This is very important, also in the future.<strong>Scana</strong> expects a weak international market in 2009, and that2010 will be a challenging year for industrial companies all overthe world. We expect a reduced operating result in 2009 and2010 compared with 2008. Through the efforts we do in relationto the market, organization and production we believe we willreduce the negative consequences of a weakened market. It alsopositions us to meet an exiting future when the market turns.Rolf RoverudGroup chief executiveChinese railway workers dodge a hurtling China Railway High-speed train at the construction site of a new railway line in China’s Shandong province.China will invest 2,000 billion Yuan (about 231 billion Euros) in its overburdened rail system as a stimulus measure aimed at reducing the impact of the global financial crisis.About 3,800 km new railroad lines will be build in the Shandong province, in addition to four new railroad lines in western China in the coming three years.<strong>Scana</strong>’s subsidiary in China, <strong>Scana</strong> Leshan, is a leading producer of rolls for the manufacturing of train tracks for such development.

The joints were produced in accordancewith strict specifications of tolerance and durability.The joints were forged at Björneborg, machined at Motala and thermically coated at Vestby.This project illustrates <strong>Scana</strong>’s ability to realise synergy effects by applying skills and technologiesacross companies in the <strong>Scana</strong> Group.


12 <strong>Scana</strong> <strong>Industrier</strong> <strong>ASA</strong>business areaSteelThe steel area has a several hundred year long tradition inthe Swedish steel industry with the companies <strong>Scana</strong> SteelBjörneborg, <strong>Scana</strong> Steel Booforge and <strong>Scana</strong> Steel Söderfors.This business area also includes the Norwegian company <strong>Scana</strong>Steel Stavanger, and Leshan <strong>Scana</strong> Machinery Company in China.The companies each have an independent and long history, andspecialise in different production areas. The business area suppliescomplete products to all of <strong>Scana</strong>’s customer segments; marine,energy, steel and machinery and oil and gas. Production takesplace at <strong>Scana</strong>’s own production facilities, which include meltingplants, forges, rolling mills, foundries, and heat treatment andmachining units. Production is of a high standard, and complieswith ISO-certified quality assurance systems. The business ischaracterised by high levels of metallurgical expertise and strongmarket positions in the respective product areas.Strategic position<strong>Scana</strong> maintains a high standard with regard to its production aswell as a broad product range. Getting a foothold in this industryis difficult since both production facilities and infrastructurerepresent major investments, and because it is also extremelychallenging to acquire sufficient levels of metallurgic and technicalexpertise.<strong>Scana</strong> is one of few players in its area with integrated productionfacilities that include both melting/production of steel, heattreatment and machining of components. Few of <strong>Scana</strong>’scompetitors have their own steelworks and have to buy billetsand semi-finished goods in order to be able to offer finishedsteel products. This gives <strong>Scana</strong> a clear competitive advantage,which the group will further develop.In recent years, considerable resources have been invested inincreased capacity and productivity, in addition to administrativesystems. <strong>Scana</strong> has decided to invest up to NOK 100 million inSwedish steel companies in 2008 and 2009. These investmentswill increase our capacity and delivery precision, and reduce risksand production costs.Products<strong>Scana</strong> is a leading supplier of special products in steel, andcustomises solutions for various uses. Close collaboration withthe customer and high quality are key elements in this work.<strong>Scana</strong>’s technological expertise is pivotal to the production andalso in connection with the development of new, customisedproducts. <strong>Scana</strong>’s production capacity in terms of steel producedin-house is around 150,000 tonnes of melted material.<strong>Scana</strong> offers a broad range of products weighing from 50 kg to45 tonnes, in lengths up to 24 metres. <strong>Scana</strong> is a market leaderin the upper weight and length range, particularly with regard tocylindrical products.Customers and marketsWith regard to the business area’s special products, customersare international players in industries such as marine, oil/gas andenergy. <strong>Scana</strong> offers optimum design and material alternatives,which combined with short delivery times and good logisticsprovide the customer with a competitive total solution. Specialsteel customers are primarily from other steel companies, majorwholesalers and end users. Long-term collaboration agreementshave been a goal, and <strong>Scana</strong> has entered into several suchagreements with a number of key customers. This provides agood basis for further developing the business concept.The development is heading in the direction of customersrequesting supplies of finished products delivered directly totheir own facilities. High quality and technical expertise combinedwith precise deliveries have all helped <strong>Scana</strong> to capture a strongposition in the market.Financial performanceTurnover in 2008 increased to NOK 1,987 million, up 15 percent compared to 2007. The operating profit totalled NOK316 million, which represents an operating margin of 16 percent. Operating profits and margins of this magnitude are verysatisfactory and confirm that this business area has a strongcompetitive force. Capacity utilisation and product mix has alsobeen good.The order intake for 2008 totalled NOK 1,886 million. The orderreserve was NOK 1,252 million, up 12 per cent from 2007. Thedemand has been high in all market segments.The prices of scrap steel and electric power fell considerablytowards the end of 2008 from the record quotations earlier in2008. The steel companies use a market based and contractualhedging in order to neutralise any effects of cost fluctuations forraw materials.In order to be able to work in the extremely high temperatures you need specialprotective clothing coated with aluminium.

When thechannel was completed in the 1840’s, the company took a newdirection under new leadership.Motala Verkstad gained international fame under Otto EdvardCarlsund from 1843-1870, won several awards, also at theWorld Expo, and was praised as the world’s most competentproduction company. The famous writer Jules Verne alsoesteemed the company in his classic “Twenty Thousand LeaguesUnder the Sea”, as the prow of the fictitious submarine“Nautilus” was supposed to have been built at Motala.Products and servicesFrom the outset, the attitude has always been to stay in thetechnological forefront and make the impossible possible.Activities are divided into the following areas: contractproduction, component manufacture, shafts, as well as bridgesand industrial service. The single product the company has had inits portfolio since the beginning is drawbridges, to which we nowmostly do service and maintenance.Well-working collaboration between motala and scana groupToday, <strong>Scana</strong> is one of Motala Verkstad’s most importantprospective customers. The company is in every way affected by<strong>Scana</strong>’s actions, through their ownership, as a large customer andalso a large supplier to Motala. Since the cooperation betweenthe companies is wide, both parties can offer a large array ofproducts. <strong>Scana</strong> and Motala Verkstad deliver complete systemsthat render Motala Verkstad a large competitive edge. To offercomplete systems boosts the competitive power and increasesthe degree of processing and manufacturing value. This, again,creates more opportunities and increases profitability for bothcompanies.Motala Verkstad’s collaboration with <strong>Scana</strong> is of long standing.Today Motala Verkstad works above all with <strong>Scana</strong> SteelBjörneborg AB, but a number of <strong>Scana</strong> companies also utilisesMotala Verkstad’s services.

22 <strong>Scana</strong> <strong>Industrier</strong> <strong>ASA</strong>business areaMarineThe Marine business area consists of companies that supplyequipment and services for the navigation, automation andpropulsion of ships. The main market of the business area is inthe shipping industry, where shipyards, shipping companies andagencies are all key customers. The business area also suppliesproducts such as valve control systems, which are also suppliedto the oil and gas industries.Strategic positionThe business area is an important market player that can supplycomplete and technical leading solutions, and <strong>Scana</strong> has a presencein the most central markets. The acquisition of <strong>Scana</strong> Zamech (2009)is following the group’s strategy for the development of the Marinebusiness area. As a result, we achieve a more complete propulsionarea and also synergy effects within sales, service and purchases. Also,this will lead to increased sales for our steel companies.Products<strong>Scana</strong> develops, produces and supplies controllable-pitch propellers,reduction gears, rudders, hydraulic actuators, and manoeuvring andcontrol systems for both new and existing vessels.The newest addition to the business area is, <strong>Scana</strong> Zamech, whichdesigns, produce and install tunnel thrusters, shafts and bothfixed and manoeuvrable propellers for ships from approximately1,000 tonnes and up to the largest types of ships. <strong>Scana</strong> Zamech’sproducts are complementary to an already wide variety ofproducts, and enables <strong>Scana</strong> to deliver manoeuvring systems forall ship sizes. The acquisition makes a good foundation for furtherdevelopment of the propulsion area within <strong>Scana</strong>. Together withthe existing gear- and propulsion technology from <strong>Scana</strong> Voldaand remote control systems from <strong>Scana</strong> Mar-El <strong>Scana</strong> is now inthe possession of a technological platform which gives a goodfoundation for further development, in line with tomorrowsenvironmental- and marketing demands. The acquisition alsoincreases the level of activity within <strong>Scana</strong>’s service portfolio.<strong>Scana</strong> has so far suffered to a limited extent from cancellations inNorway or in the world at large after the financial crisis impact in2008. <strong>Scana</strong> has few deliveries to the bulk market, the part of themarket that has been influenced most severely. The main part of<strong>Scana</strong>’s deliveries goes to shipyards in China and Korea that hasa large state ownership. The shipyards are strong and we expectcontinuing positive activity within our market segments.The high level of activity in the Gulf of Mexico and along theBrazilian coast will also affect <strong>Scana</strong>’s delivery programme. Thehigh level of building activity helps new countries such as Indiaand Vietnam to gradually capture a greater market share.A reduced number of contracts for new ships are expected toturn into a weaker market, which will influence the demand forproducts also from <strong>Scana</strong> towards the end of 2010 and 2011.But a potential downturn is expected to be temporary. <strong>Scana</strong>is well positioned to meet the development which is expectedfrom 2012. <strong>Scana</strong>’s increased efforts within the service and repairarea will decrease the effect of a temporary reduced number ofnew contracts for ships.Financial performanceThe market situation has been good and the companies sawincreased sales and operation profits compared to 2007. Theturnover totalled NOK 636 million; an increase that represents30 per cent, while the operating result of NOK 74 million equalsa 12 per cent operational margin.The financial performance reflects improved margins withinmanufacture of the new and a higher share of service jobs witha higher earnings.At the beginning of 2008, the business area’s order reservesare NOK 783 million, distributed through 2009, 2010 and 2011.The order reserve is regarded as robust against cancellations orpostponements.Customers and marketsThe business area operates primarily in the global shipbuildingand ship repair markets. Customers are shipyards, shippingcompanies, consultancy firms and other system suppliers. <strong>Scana</strong>has its own sales offices in Germany, Singapore, Shanghai andKorea. The establishing of a representation office in Shanghai forthe sale and service of gears and propulsion systems has provento be a strategic success, whereby <strong>Scana</strong>’s position in the Asianmarket is now strengthened both commercially and technically.Through its own facilities and an extensive agent and distributornetwork, the business area has developed a worldwide networkof representation.There has been a high level of activity within ship constructionin both Europe and Asia. Suppliers of propulsion systems haveextensive delivery periods and new contracts have been enteredfor deliveries into 2011.

Within the company’s two business areas, serviceand new sales, 90 per cent of the new sales are exports.Volda Mekaniske Verksted was founded in 1913 in Volda, Norway,and was taken over by the <strong>Scana</strong> group in 1998. As a result, thecompany changed its name to <strong>Scana</strong> Volda. Volda MekaniskeVerksted started as an engine factory and later developed toinclude shipbuilding and production of propellers and gears.At the end of the 1980s, the last hull was delivered and theshipyard was removed in 1997. Since 1996, gears and propulsionsystems have been the most important products.<strong>Scana</strong> Volda has been a Consortial Partner to Caterpillar (MaK)since 1996. Together with Caterpillar and <strong>Scana</strong> Mar-El, <strong>Scana</strong>Volda contributes to a complete propulsion package for ships,consisting of engines, gears, propellers and remote control systems.Market and customers<strong>Scana</strong> Volda has agents, offices and strategic partners in Iceland,the Netherlands, Spain, Singapore, India, China, Korea, the USA,Brazil and Chile. <strong>Scana</strong> propulsion systems are included indifferent ship designs, and marketed worldwide. Product andconcept development is often done together with designers,where <strong>Scana</strong> Volda contributes as a consultant.2008 turned out to be a year out of the ordinary in the shippingindustry, with restricted numbers of newbuilds and a seriesof cancellations worldwide. <strong>Scana</strong> Volda is not untouched bythis situation. However due to a large amount of projects forthe offshore segment, the company avoided the big share ofcancellations within the bulk and cargo segment.The company expects high activity and adequate profits also in2009. Increased share of service and repairs will mitigate some ofthe reductions that are expected within newbuilds towards 2010.Products<strong>Scana</strong> Volda develops, designs, produces and sells gear andpropeller equipment for all types of ships, up to sizes of approximately20,000 kW engine output. In recent years, <strong>Scana</strong> Voldahas produced and assembled the smallest gear sizes in the CzechRepublic. This has given the company the needed productioncapacity and competitive edge as one of the leading suppliers ofgear- and cp-propeller systems. As part of a complete propulsionsystem, the gear and propeller equipment is supplied togetherwith the remote control system to <strong>Scana</strong> Mar-El.The sales and marketing of services are mainly focussed on thecompany’s own products in the form of start-up, maintenance, replacementsand breakdowns, as well as a concentration on the saleof special services such as alignment, measurements and inspection.In 2008 <strong>Scana</strong> Marine Service was established – an extendedservice organisation with focus on worldwide sales of servicesand after-sales support. This has contributed to an increasedturnover in 2008.The construction vessel Far Samson is built for Farstad Shippingat STC Norway Offshore’s shipyard at Langsten.The vessel’s main task is to plough pipelines into the seabed.This operation demands immense tractive power, because the vesselshould be able to make 2,5 metre deep ditches in 1,000 metres ofwater. During the test run, the vessel set a tractive power recordwith a constant 423 tonne tractive power. This makes Far Samsonthe most powerful offshore vessel throughout time.<strong>Scana</strong> Volda has supplied two gears of the TS1400 type toFar Samson. These gears are the largest and most advanced gearsdeveloped at <strong>Scana</strong> Volda. They transfer a total motor output of26,400 kW.

34 <strong>Scana</strong> <strong>Industrier</strong> <strong>ASA</strong>Environmental impact<strong>Scana</strong> Industries manufacture and work among other thingswith steel and other alloys. We realise that as a player in thismarket, we contribute both considerably to recycling – andhave discharges to the outer environment. It is a fact that theworld needs steel, and we see it as our task to supply as cleanlya manufactured product as possible, thus securing the smallestnegative impact on the environment as possible. Our presencein China is an example of how we exceed local regulations andhelp set standards high. Our environmental initiative in China isat a European level, and could have been transferred to Norwayfrom day one. This is something we are proud of.STEELSteel production is essence a recycling industry, where a lot of scrapmetal is recycled. On the other hand, energy is spent to recycle.Björneborg<strong>Scana</strong> Steel Björneborg meets the goals of the <strong>Scana</strong> group tohave as small an impact on the environment as possible. As aconcrete measure, scrap steel is recycled, and steel for recyclingis chiefly collected from local suppliers, at a distance of maximum150 km. The company is ISO 9001 certified.StavangerThe company is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified. One of ourmain suppliers, FOSECO, has named us the most environmentalfriendly foundry in Europe. This claim is built upon our productionchoices of forming sand, binding agents and hardeners. Thecompany continually employs new routines to reduce negativeimpact on the environment, be it waste management, filteringand reductions. In 2006 the company published an environmentalreport that is being adopted. Measurements as to its successare done regularly by West-lab according to internationalstandards. The company is licenced to manufacture by Statensforurensningstilsyn, and the regulations on emissions to air andland deposits become more and more strict.Jørpeland KraftIn connection with the licencing award, the Norwegian Oiland Energy Department stated in their press release that thedevelopment takes care of the many different interests inJørpelandsvassdraget in a good way: “The development willincrease access to renewable energy, and is a good contributionto better the power situation without any new [environmental]interventions”. The chosen development alternative secures agood flow of water in the river, ensuring important environmentalvalues connected to fishing, bathing and outdoor life.SöderforsThe production itself at Söderfors has no negative discharges.The waste from the production is scrap steel/metal, and this issold on as scrap metal; something that is both environmentallysound and also provides income. A cleaning plant for coolingagents are installed, and measurements show that the waterthat is discharged is cleaner than the water influx. The companyuses electrical power for the production and oil heating forheating the ovens. The company’s waste management adheres toNorwegian laws and regulations.BooforgeBooforge is a company with long traditions, but worksdeterminedly towards modernising and reducing any negativeimpact on the environment. In the recent years, the companyhas made rather large environmental changes that has benefitedthe entire local community, and also changed routines regardingproduction. We also make changes to lessen energy consumption.LeshanLeshan <strong>Scana</strong> is situated within a Chinese town of about 200,000people. The company was earlier an old state driven businessthat was the reason for a great deal of pollution, mainly becauseeverything was coal based. Around the turn of millenniumthe company converted to electrical and gas power, and bythe end of 2007, a dust collection system was installed for theentire company. Leshan <strong>Scana</strong> is today a pioneer regardingenvironmental questions, and initiated an environmentalprogramme also for other industrial businesses in the regionto lessen emissions to air. The company now runs entirely onhydropower generated from a nearby river. The Sichuan provinceis also a large producer of natural gas.MARINE<strong>Scana</strong>’s marine business areas works for the most part withinhigh-technological manufacture, which has no or little negativeimpact on the environment.Volda<strong>Scana</strong> Volda’s production yields products that are contributingto the protection and safeguard of the environment, crew andload. Among the products, we find emergency electromotorsfor chemical tankers and flexible solutions to make engines runmore environmentally friendly. Optimisation of engine usage is acontinuing ambition for the company.Mar-El<strong>Scana</strong> Mar-El does not have any activity that pollutes, and allwaste management adheres to Norwegian laws and regulations.SkarpenordThe production of hydraulic actuators and systems atSkarpenord yields no negative discharges. The waste from theproduction is scrap iron / metal and is sold as scrap metal. This isboth environmentally friendly and provides income. The companymainly uses electrical power for the production, but also somediesel fuel is used for heating the production halls.ZamechA newly acquired technological platform combined with existinggear and propeller technology from <strong>Scana</strong> Volda and remotecontrol systems from <strong>Scana</strong> Mar-El, will allow the company to

The company is ISO 9001certified. We regard our activity as having no or very littlenegative impact on the outer environment, but we continuallymonitor and prepare new measurable standards to how ouractivity may have an impact on the environment.Materials Technology Centre<strong>Scana</strong> MTC has only a small impact on the outer environment.This happens through our non-destructive testing (NDT). Inthis process, chemicals are used in a controlled environmentto measure the surface of steel constructions. After use, thechemicals are handled and returned as toxic waste. We have aconstant focus on control of chemicals.Wikov<strong>Scana</strong> Wikov supplies on commission basis, and thus hasno environmentally negative production. We neverthelesswork to influence our supplier to continually have a focus onenvironmental measures where possible.Offshore VestbyThe company was established in 1953, but has moved to modernproduction halls. This allows for a concisely controlled productionenvironment, and the company has today no negative dischargesor emissions to the environment. The engineering and designbranch has no negative impact on the outer environment.Health, environment and safety (HES)The group consists of companies that affect the outerenvironment through noise and discharges/emissions. The groupis licenced for its activities and the impact on the environmentis not regarded as exceeding the discharge permissions. Thegroup works continually to reduce discharges/emissions, wasteto deposits and other negative environmental impacts. Residuefrom the production is waste managed and handled according toregulations, in addition to being recycled where applicable. Thecompanies within the steel business area buys large quantities ofscrap for remelting, and is thereby also in the recycling industry.


36 <strong>Scana</strong> <strong>Industrier</strong> <strong>ASA</strong>ACCOUNTS 2008Directors’ report 2008About the business<strong>Scana</strong> <strong>Industrier</strong> <strong>ASA</strong> (<strong>Scana</strong>) is a Nordic industrial groupoperating in three business areas: Steel, Marine and Oil & Gas.The main products in the Steel area are the production ofcustomised steel forgings and castings for the oil and gas, energy,marine, machine and tool industries. The Marine area developsand manufactures gears, propulsion systems and valve controlsystems for ships and offshore vessels, in addition to offeringservice and after sales services. The main products in the Oil &Gas area are design and production of components and systems,laboratory services and the maintenance and repairof equipment in the oil and gas industry.The companies in the three business areas provide products andsystem solutions in four market segments, namely marine, oil andgas, energy and steel and machinery.<strong>Scana</strong>’s technology, unique expertise in engineering materialsand extensive production experience form the basis of ourcompetitive power. Our aim is to be the preferred supplierfor leading companies within our market segments.The group’s head office is in Stavanger. The group has operativecompanies in Sweden, Norway, China, Poland, South Korea, theUSA and Singapore. <strong>Scana</strong> is also represented with its own salesand service companies in a number of countries.2008 was a record year for the group’s turnover and operatingprofit. This confirms that the industrial choices made bythe company in recent years have been right. However, theinternational financial crisis is affecting <strong>Scana</strong>’s order reserve.The total order intake of NOK 2 477 million is a decline of 23per cent compared with 2007. The order reserve at the end of2008 was NOK 2 096 million, which is a decline of 9 per centcompared to 2007.The group is implementing a number of measures to addressthe challenges and opportunities as a result of the financialcrisis. This includes stepping up the marketing and sales efforts,manpower reductions and cost-cutting, restructuringof businesses and acquisitions/strategic collaborations.<strong>Scana</strong>’s main products are well diversified, niche-oriented marketleaders within their segments. The group is therefore wellequipped for the future. Despite this, the international financialcrisis is expected to reduce activity somewhat, although theeffect for 2009 will be limited since much of the productionhas already been sold.AccountsGoing concernIn accordance with section 3-3 of the Accounting Act (Norway),we confirm that the accounts have been prepared on the basisof the going concern assumption, and that this assumption isvalid.IFRSInternational Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are used as theprevailing accounting principles for the consolidated accounts.The standards are approved by the EU.Financial performanceThe group continued its positive development throughout 2008,and achieved the the highest turnover and operating result in thegroups history. Turnover was NOK 2 896 million compared withNOK 2 469 million in 2007, which is an increase of 17 per cent.The groups profit before depreciation and amortization wasNOK 350 million and operating profit was NOK 277 million.This is an improvement of respectively NOK 24 million andNOK 11 million.The improved result and growth in turnover are largely relatedto a high utilisation of capacity internally and a good productcomposition. The turnover growth is evenly distributed betweenmarket growth and price increases.A key customer in the Oil & Gas area went bankrupt and asa result the group made a larger provision for potential lossesin 2008. The operating margin was subsequently 10 per cent,compared with 11 per cent in 2007. Without this provision forloss, the operating result would have been more than 11 percent.The group had net interest expenses of NOK 23 million. <strong>Scana</strong>hedges all major contracts in foreign currency. Towards yearend 2008 the Norwegian kroner were considerably weakenedcompared to foreign currency. This led to a temporary change inthe value of the group’s currency contracts amounting to minusNOK 150 million. This change in value is by year end unrealizedbut should be expensed according to IFRS, despite it has no casheffect. By a strengthening of the Norwegian kroner compared toforeign currency the change in the value of currency contractswould have led to a positive effect in the finance result.The result before taxes was NOK 75 million. This year’s


<strong>Scana</strong> <strong>Industrier</strong> <strong>ASA</strong>37expensed taxes were NOK 15 million which is 20 per cent ofthe result before tax. The tax expense consist of NOK 57 millionin tax payable for the group’s Swedish and Chinese operationsadjusted downwards for changes in deferred tax of minus NOK42 million. The group still has a loss carry-forward of NOK 189million linked to the Norwegian operations.The group’s total net profit was NOK 60 million, of which NOK45 million is assigned to the owners of <strong>Scana</strong> and NOK 15million to minority interests. This constitutes earnings per share ofNOK 0.27, compared with NOK 1.11 in 2007. Earnings per sharebefore adjustment for temporary changes in value of currencycontracts would have been NOK 0,91. As at 31 December2008, there were 167 333 750 shares issued.Balance sheetThe balance sheet totalled at 31 December 2008 NOK 2 248million, which is an increase of NOK 344 million compared with31 December 2007. The change is due to increased investmentsand a generally higher level of activity in the group.At the end of 2008 the group’s reported interest-bearing debtnet of cash and cash equivalents were NOK 472 million. Bookvalue of the gross interest-bearing debt at the end of 2008was NOK 611 million which is an increase of NOK 116 millioncompared with 31 December 2007. Loans and short-term creditfacilities were reduced by NOK 45 million. The board believesthat the capital structure provides good flexibility for furthergrowth through acquisitions and investments. The increase inthe short and long term debt after adjusting for the temporarychange in value of the currency contracts were respectively NOK96 million and NOK 48 million.The book value of shareholders’ equity as at 31 December 2008was NOK 723 million, which equates to an equity ratio of 32per cent. Excluding the temporary change in value of the groupscurrency contracts, the book value of the equity amounts toNOK 4.96 per share and an the equity ratio would have been38 per cent. At the end of 2007, book value of the equity wereNOK 724 million and the equity ratio was 38 per cent.Financial instruments are valued at fair value. If the change in fairvalue satisfies the IFRS requirements for hedge accounting, thechange in value is recorded against equity. The equity was reducedby NOK 22 million in 2008 as a result of such changes in valueand the recognised equity from such changes totalled minusNOK 7 million at the end of the year. Translation differences andexchange effects increased the equity in 2008 by NOK 56 million.Intangible assets as at 31 December 2008 were recorded atNOK 132 million, of which goodwill amounted to NOK 83million. The increase in 2008 of NOK 53 million is mainly linkedto the acquisition of <strong>Scana</strong> Offshore Services Inc. and recogniseddevelopment costs.Cash flowThe operating profit in 2008 was NOK 277 million afterdepreciation and amortizations which totalled NOK 74 million.Net cash flow from operations was NOK 147 million. The groupworks actively to reduce the working capital.Capitalized expenses and investments in fixed assets totalledNOK 170 million, of which investment in the Swedish steelcompanies is the most important item. The group purchased<strong>Scana</strong> Offshore Services in Houston, and the cash effect of thepurchase were minus NOK 30 million. The net cash flow frominvesting activities totalled at minus NOK 199 million.The net cash flow from financing activities was NOK 5 million,and the group’s net cash flow in 2008 was minus NOK 46million. The group’s cash and cash equivalents totalled NOK 139million at the end of the year.Capital structureThe group made a large withdrawal on the available creditfacilities towards the end of 2008 in order to strengthenthe operational flexibility and to finance parts of an ongoingextensive investment program.No increase in capital was carried out in 2008. A share optionprogramme of up to NOK 1.5 million shares is aimed at senioremployees. A net total of 300,000 of the share options wereissued in 2008 and 900,000 were issued in 2007. The optionscan be exercised in 2010. Otherwise, there have been no othercircumstances that affect the company’s capital structure in 2008.Change of accounting principleUntil 2007 the group classified exchange gains/losses resultingfrom operations as operating items. From the first quarter of2008 the exchange gains/losses are classified as financial items.The corresponding numbers for 2007 and 2006 have forcomparison reasons been subject to change. <strong>Scana</strong> decidedearly in 2008 to reclassify these items from operating items tofinance items in order to reduce fluctuations to the operatingresult. In 2008 the financial items have a considerable effecton the accounts, and the effect consists mainly of a unrealizedtemporary change in the value of the groups currency contracts.Steel areaThe steel area companies all specialise in different processes andproducts. Production takes place at <strong>Scana</strong>’s own productionfacilities, which include melting plants, forges, rolling mills,foundries, and heat treatment and machining units. Productionis of a high standard, and complies with ISO-certified qualityassurance systems.Turnover in 2008 was good, and totalled NOK 1 987 million, up15 per cent compared with 2007. The operating profit was NOK317 million, which equates to an operating margin of 16 per cent.Operating profits and operating margins of this magnitude are


38 <strong>Scana</strong> <strong>Industrier</strong> <strong>ASA</strong>very satisfactory and show that the business area is competitiveand has succeeded in the efforts of creating the right productmix and the efforts to increased the capacity utilisation.The prices of scrap steel and electric power fell considerablytowards the end of 2008 from the record quotations earlierin 2008. The prices of precious alloys experience a smallerreduction compared with the record quotations early in 2008.The order intake for 2008 totalled at NOK 1 886 million, down9 per cent from 2007. The order reserve at the end of 2008 wasNOK 1 252 million; an increase of NOK 73 million comparedto 2007. The international financial crisis affects the steel andmachinery market segment and a downturn is expected for<strong>Scana</strong> in Europe. However, <strong>Scana</strong>’s activity in China is expectedto continue at a satisfactory level since <strong>Scana</strong>’s products areproving successful in relation to the infrastructure expansionsinitiated by the Chinese state. Only a minor reduction in activityfor <strong>Scana</strong>’s steel companies is expected for the marine segment.The oil and gas segment is expected to be reduced somewhatfrom the second quarter of 2009 as a result of lower oil pricesand time lags in projects. The demand and level of activity withinthe energy area are expected to be extremely good, and energyis therefore regarded as a key market for <strong>Scana</strong> in the years tocome.Overall, a poorer order intake and reduced profit margins areexpected for <strong>Scana</strong>’s steelworks in 2009 and 2010 as a result ofthe international financial crisis. Investments in <strong>Scana</strong>’s Swedishsteel companies will streamline production, reduce risk andincrease capacity in the long term with respect to strategicallyimportant customers. High demand within the energy segmentwill offset some of the reduction in other segments.Marine areaThe companies within the marine area develop and manufacturegears, propulsion systems and valve control systems for shipsand offshore vessels, in addition to offering service and aftersales services. Customers are shipyards, shipping companies,engine suppliers and other system suppliers. The business area isparticularly well represented in Asia for sales and service with itsown offices and agents, and is also represented in other parts ofthe world.Turnover was NOK 636 million in 2008, which is 30 per centhigher than in 2007. The operating profit totalled NOK 74 millioncompared with NOK 34 million in 2007. The increase is partlydue to increased margins on new constructions and a highershare of revenues from service and maintenance. The operatingprofit is also positively affected by a strengthening of the EURand USD against the NOK since the majority of contracts aredenominated in these currencies.The market situation has been good throughout the year.However, the financial crisis has also led to cancellations anddelays in the global marine industry. However, <strong>Scana</strong>’s operationshave only been affected by cancellations to a limited extent.The part of the market that is most influenced by the marketsituation is the bulk market, where the group has very littleactivity. The biggest deliveries are to shipyards in China and Koreawith a large degree of state ownership. These shipyards are solidand the group expects the high level of activity to continue. Theorder reserve fell in 2008, but is still considered to be good.Large parts of <strong>Scana</strong>’s capacity within the business area has beensold for 2009. For 2010,,the group has orders which utilize halfthe production capacityAt the end of 2008, the order reserve was NOK 783 million,which is a reduction of 24 per cent compared with 2007. Theorder intake in 2008 was NOK 389 million, down 53 per centcompared with 2008. The reduced order intake was anticipatedand is related to the reduction in the number of contractsglobally. <strong>Scana</strong> expects the low level of activity on the supplyside to continue in the first half of 2009. A certain recovery isexpected in <strong>Scana</strong>’s order reserve in the second half of 2009,which will utilize the group’s production capacity in 2010. Theacquisition of <strong>Scana</strong> Zamech will enable <strong>Scana</strong> to offer design,production and installation of tunnel thrusters, shafts and bothfixed and manoeuvrable propellers for ships from approximately1,000 tonnes and up to the largest types of ships. In the longterm, this will constitute a positive contribution to <strong>Scana</strong>’scompetitive power.Oil & Gas areaThe main products for the Oil & Gas area are design andproduction of components and systems, laboratory servicesand the maintenance and repair of equipment for the oil andgas industry. In the second quarter of 2008, <strong>Scana</strong> acquired theHouston-based BOP Stacking Inc., now known as <strong>Scana</strong> OffshoreServices Inc. The company has extensive expertise withindesign and project management related to blow out systems,and supplies systems to rig owners and drilling contractors. Thecompany has established an office in Singapore, which gives<strong>Scana</strong> direct contact with customers in the world’s largest marketfor oil and gas.The business area had a turnover of NOK 300 million in 2008compared with NOK 281 million in 2007. The operating resultwas minus NOK 85 million compared with positive NOK39 million in 2007. The negative development is due to thedevelopment, production and installation of the loading buoysystem for FPSOcean’s “Deep Producer 1”. The project istechnologically innovative but also complex.At the end of 2008 <strong>Scana</strong> entered into an agreement involvinga final settlement for development expenses and outstandingreceivables relating to the work on “Deep producer 1”. But earlyin 2009 FPSOcean filed a bankruptcy petition after lacking thefinancing for the final completion of the ship. <strong>Scana</strong> consequently


40 <strong>Scana</strong> <strong>Industrier</strong> <strong>ASA</strong>At the end of 2008, <strong>Scana</strong> reduced manning levels in some of thegroup companies in Sweden and Norway by approximately 150.This was due to the change in the level of activity. The workingenvironment and collaboration with the employee organisationsare considered to be good.Women representation were 40 per cent in <strong>Scana</strong>’s executiveboard. Women are also represented in the management teamsof the group’s subsidiaries. However, <strong>Scana</strong> consists largely ofproduction units, where there have traditionally been a largeproportion of men. Women account for around 25 per cent ofthe white collar staff in the subsidiaries.Health, safety and environment (HSE)The number of lost-time injuries in 2008 was 47 (of wich twoin China), compared with 39 in 2007. Actual working hourstotalled 3 635 242 in 2008, compared with 3 652 864 in 2007.There were no isolated serious industrial accidents at the group’sfacilities. The board is satisfied that the company has not hadany serious industrial accidents and that HSE measures aresystematically undertaken in all of the group’s activities.Absence due to illness was 3.0 per cent in 2008 compared with3.3 per cent in 2007. The absence in the operative subsidiariesvaried between 2.1 and 8.4 per cent.The group has obtained the necessary licences for its activitiesand does not affect the external environment beyond thedischarge permits granted by the authorities. The group iscontinuously working on limiting discharges to the environment,waste to landfills and other negative environmental effects. Theremainder of the waste from the production are sorted andhandled in accordance with regulations, in addition to some of itbeing recycled. Companies in the steel area buy large quantitiesof scrap for remelting. <strong>Scana</strong> is therefore also a significantrecycling company.Research and development<strong>Scana</strong> spends up to 3-5 per cent of its turnover on research anddevelopment. The work is related to product development inoil and gas, marine and steel, and in HSE in order to reduce thecompany’s impact on the external environment.OutlookThe main aim of the group is to increase the shareholders’ value.The following primary strategies have been determined on thisbasis:1. Continued organic growth in all business areas2. Maintain a good operating margin and effective financialmanagement3. Strengthen the group’s strategic position through acquisitions- in order to strengthen the market position- in order to increase capacity- in order to supplement the product range or value chain4. Develop the repair and service concept within the marine areaand to the oil and gas industriesThe board believes that the achievement of targets is good inrelation to the main strategies. With regard to 2009, the boardplaces special emphasis on ensuring effective sales work, effectiveoperations and financial management in light of the challengesdue to the financial crisis. The company expects the strong resultsin 2008 to be somewhat reduced in 2009 and 2010 due to theglobal financial turbulence, but also anticipates that the strategywill lead to a positive profit performance once the financialunrest diminishes.Market developmentFor <strong>Scana</strong>, the demand was higher in 2008 than in previous years.On the other hand the financial turbulence in the global markethas from the end of 2008 led to a lower level of activity withinsome of <strong>Scana</strong>’s market areas.With regard to the marine area a reduced number of contractsis expected, which will lead to a reduced level of activitycompared to the recent years very high level of activity. In2009 <strong>Scana</strong> expects a temporary reduction in the demand formarine products from the groups steel companies. For <strong>Scana</strong>’smarine companies it is expected a continued high level of activitythroughout 2009, but with a decline in the rate of activity fornew contracts from mid-2010. <strong>Scana</strong>’s increased efforts towardsservice and maintenance works may compensate for some ofthe reduction in new contracts. Through the acquisition of ABB’sbusiness in Poland (<strong>Scana</strong> Zamech) early in 2009, <strong>Scana</strong> increasedits market potential for propulsion systems by being able to offercomplete systems and installations for considerably larger shipsthan before.Within the oil and gas area <strong>Scana</strong> has in the recent yearsdeveloped several advanced products and systems which havecreated interest in the marked. Multidisciplinary experience andconsiderable knowledge within materials technology and theopportunity for in-house production of special components giveconsiderable future possibilities for both already developed nicheproducts and for products under development. <strong>Scana</strong> expects asomewhat lower level of activity in the market area oil and gasin 2009 compared to recent years, but expects increased orderintake, especially to the steel companies from the second half of2009. The level of activity for maintenance is expected to be inline with 2008.Within the business area energy <strong>Scana</strong> anticipate increasedlevel of activity in 2009. Especially it is expected increaseddemand for shafts for large windmills. <strong>Scana</strong> unti one of veryfew manufacturers in the world with the production capacityto supply shafts for such windmills. The company also hasconsiderable competitive power as a suppler of generators andproducts within power production from a number of energysources.


<strong>Scana</strong> <strong>Industrier</strong> <strong>ASA</strong>41Within products for steel and machinery, <strong>Scana</strong> has concentratedthe production on wear-resistant parts, rolls, castings, roadclearance equipment, blocks, tool steel, stainless steel and armsfor forklift trucks. The financial crisis has led to a considerablylower level of activity within a number of these areas, and thegroup expects this situation to remain throughout 2009. Forsome of the products the rate of activity is unchanged. Roadclearance equipment and rolls to Chinese steel companies areexamples of products which so far has not been influencednegatively by the current market situation.<strong>Scana</strong> enters 2009 with a still high order backlog and the ordersituation for the group’s main products is overall satisfactory for2009. The differences between the groups subsidiaries are onthe other hand increasing and it is expected that the financialcrisis will lead to lower order intake which throughout 2009 willgradually result in lower turnover and a lower operating resultin 2009. The measurements which the group implements inthe different subsidiaries will on the other hand ensure that thegroup delivers satisfactory results in 2009. The group is also wellpositioned to meet a future increase in activity.Appropriation of earningsThe net profit assigned to the owners of the parent companywas NOK 45 million, giving earnings per share of NOK 0.27.

48 <strong>Scana</strong> <strong>Industrier</strong> <strong>ASA</strong>Research and development costsResearch and development costs are expensed as incurred. An intangible assetthat results from development expenditure in an individual project is capitalisedwhen the following can be demonstrated: the technical feasibility of completingthe development of the intangible asset so that it will be available for use orsale, its performance potential and its potential to use or sell the asset, how theasset will generate future economic benefits, that it has the resources neededto complete the development of assets and to reliably measure the developmentcosts. Capitalised development costs are entered in the balance sheet atacquisition cost minus accumulated depreciation and write-downs. Capitaliseddevelopment costs are depreciated on a linear basis over the asset’s estimateduseful life. Any expenditure capitalised is amortised over the period ofexpected future sales from the related project.The book value of development costs is reviewed for impairment annually ormore frequently when an indication of impairment arises during the reportingyear. Gains or losses arising from the disposal of an intangible asset are calculatedas the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the book value,and are recognised in the profit and loss account.Write-down of assetsFinancial instrumentsFinancial instruments that are not booked at fair value are reviewed at eachbalance sheet date in order to identify any decrease in value.Other fixed assetsAn assessment of write-downs on other fixed assets is made when there areindications of a reduction in value. If an asset’s book value is higher than theasset’s recoverable amount, the asset will be written down via the profit andloss account. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less salescosts and the utility value (the discounted cash flow from continued use).The fair value less sales costs is the amount that can be obtained from a saleto an independent third party minus the sales costs. The recoverable amountis determined separately for all assets but where this is not possible it is determinedtogether with the cash-generating unit to which the assets belong.With the exception of the write-down of goodwill, write-downs recognisedin the profit and loss accounts for previous periods are reversed when thereis information that the need for the write-down no longer exists. The reversalis recognised in the profit and loss account. However, no reversal takes placeif the reversal leads to the book value exceeding what the book value wouldhave been if normal depreciation had been applied.Income taxTaxes in the profit and loss account are the sum of tax payable and changes indeferred tax.Current tax assets and liabilities for the current period and prior periods arevalued at the amount that is expected to be paid from or to the tax authorities.The tax rates and tax laws used to estimate the amount are those that are inforce or substantively in force on the balance sheet date.Deferred tax/tax assets in the balance sheet are carried at nominal value andcalculated based on temporary differences between values for assets and debtfor tax and accounting purposes on the balance sheet date, adjusted for losscarried forward for tax purposes.Deferred tax assets are recognised when it is probable that the group will havesufficient tax-related profit in subsequent periods to utilise the tax advantage.The companies recognise previously non-recognised deferred income tax assetsto the extent it has become probable that they will be utilised. Similarly, thecompanies will reduce deferred income tax assets recognised in the balancesheet if it is no longer considered probable that they will be utilised.Current and deferred income taxes are recognised directly in equity to theextent they are related to equity transactions.ProvisionsProvisions are recognised when the group has an obligation (legal or selfimposed)as a result of a past event, it is probable that an obligation must beredeemed through economic benefits and when a reliable estimate can bemade of the amount of the obligation. Where the group expects some or allof a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, thereimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursementis virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented inthe profit and loss account net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the timevalue of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-taxrate that reflects the risks that are specific to the relevant liability. Wherediscounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time isrecognised as a financial expense.A guarantee provision is recognised when the underlying products are sold. Theprovision is based on historical information about guarantees and a weightingof possible outcomes against their probability of occurring.Interest-bearing loans and borrowing costsLoans are recognised at the original amount received, less directly attributabletransaction costs. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowingsare subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interestmethod. Gains and losses are recognised in net profit or loss when the liabilitiesare derecognised as well as through the amortisation process.Cash and cash equivalentsCash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash in banks andin hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months orless. For the purpose of the consolidated cash flow statement, cash and cashequivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above. The cash flowstatement has been prepared using the indirect method.LeasingThe group has entered into leases as a lessee. Leases are classified as eitherfinancial or operational leases on the basis of a specific assessment of eachagreement.For financial leases, an amount equal to the lower of fair value and the presentvalue of the minimum lease is recognised in the balance sheet.The depreciation period is consistent for equivalent assets that are owned bythe group. If it is not certain that the company will take over the asset whenthe lease expires, the asset is depreciated over the term of the lease or thedepreciation period for equivalent assets owned by the group, whichever is theshorter.Operational leases are expensed on a linear basis over the period of the lease.Foreign currency translationTransactions in foreign currencies are accounted for at the exchange rate onthe date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currenciesare translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Any exchangedifferences are entered in the profit and loss account under financial items.Balance sheet items relating to foreign subsidiaries are translated into NOKusing the exchange rate as at 31 December. All items in the profit and loss accountare translated into NOK at weighted average exchange rates. Consolidationgives rise to translation differences, which are taken directly to shareholders’equity in the group balance sheet. Translation differences relating to debtin foreign currency that for accounting purposes are considered to be hedgingof investments in foreign subsidiaries and the currency effects related to cashitems that represent a proportion of the net investment in foreign subsidiaries,are also charged against shareholders’ equity until the subsidiary is divested.Investments and other financial instrumentsFinancial assets in the scope of IAS 39 are classified as either financialinstruments at fair value through the profit and loss account, or as loans orreceivables. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured atfair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss,directly attributable transaction costs. The group determines the classification ofits financial assets after initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate,re-evaluates this designation at the end of each financial year.Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or variablecash flows that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carriedat amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses arerecognised in the profit and loss account when the loans and receivables aretransferred or regarded as lost, as well as through amortisation.Other investments in companies that are neither subsidiaries nor associatedcompanies are entered in the balance sheet at fair value with gains or lossesbeing recognised in the profit and loss account.Financial instruments and hedgingThe group uses financial instruments such as forward currency contracts, interestrate swaps and electricity derivatives to hedge its risks associated with


<strong>Scana</strong> <strong>Industrier</strong> <strong>ASA</strong>49interest rate, foreign currency and electricity price fluctuations. Such financialinstruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivativecontract is entered into and are subsequently reassessed at fair value.Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilitieswhen the fair value is negative.The group’s criteria for classifying a derivative or other financial instrument as ahedging instrument are as follows: (1) the hedge is expected to be effective inthat it counteracts changes in the fair value of or cash flows from an identifiedasset - a hedging efficiency within the range of 80-125 per cent is expected, (2)the effectiveness of the hedging can be reliably measured, (3) there is adequatedocumentation when the hedge is entered into, (4) for cash flow hedges, thepending transaction must be probable, and (5) the hedge is evaluated on anongoing basis and has proven to be effective.When entering into a hedging arrangement, the group documents which assets,debt or future transactions the group wishes to apply hedge accounting to, andthe associated risk management target and strategy. The documentation includesidentification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction,the nature of the risk being hedged and how the entity will assess the hedginginstrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedgeditem’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. The hedges areexpected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value orcash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they haveactually been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods forwhich they were designated.The group utilises hedge accounting for cash flow hedges related to hedgingfuture electricity prices and hedging of future interest payments on externalloans through interest rate swaps. In addition, the group uses hedge accountingfor hedging the currency effects of net investments in its Swedish subsidiaries.Foreign exchange gains and losses on loans that are hedging instruments in thehedging of net investments are booked directly against equity.The fair value of forward currency contracts is calculated according to currentforward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles. The fairvalue of interest rate swap contracts and electricity derivatives is determined byreference to market values for similar instruments.Changes in the value of financial instruments that qualify for cash flow hedging,are booked directly against equity. Any ineffective part of the hedging is recognisedin the profit and loss account.Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of derivatives that do notqualify for hedge accounting are expensed as they occur.Change of accounting principleUntil 2007, the group has classified agio items related to operations as operatingitems. As of the first quarter of 2008, these agio items have been reclassifiedas financial items. The figures for 2007 and 2006 have been revised in order tomake them comparable with 2008. <strong>Scana</strong> decided early in 2008 to reclassifyagio items from operating items to financial items in order to reduce fluctuationsin the operating result. In 2008 the financial items has a significant effecton the accounts connected to unrealized loss on currency contracts.The following schedule is connected to agio items, accounts, receivables,accounts payables and currency contracts.Effect of change of accounting principle 2008 2007 2006Change in operating result +171 502 -4 619 -2 632All foreign exchange gains or losses related to trade receivables, creditors,foreign exchange contracts and other assets and liabilities, are classified asfinancial items.Derecognition of financial assets and liabilitiesA financial asset (or where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of agroup of similar financial assets) is deducted from the balance sheet where:• the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired,• the group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but hasassumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a thirdparty under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement, or• the group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the assetand either (a) has transferred almost all risks and potential gains associatedwith the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained the majority ofrisks and potential gains associated with the asset, but has transferredcontrol of the asset.A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation is settled, cancelled orexpires. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from thesame lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liabilityare substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated in sucha way that the original liability is removed from the balance sheet and a newliability is recorded in the balance sheet. The difference in the respective bookamounts is entered in the profit and loss account.PensionsSome group employees are covered by pension plans funded through insurancecompanies or directly by the company.Pension obligations are valued at the present value of future pension entitlementsaccrued on the balance sheet date based on a linear accrual methodand anticipated final salary. Pension plans are valued at their anticipated marketvalue. Net pension obligations (pension obligations less plan assets) arereported in the balance sheet as long-term liabilities after adjustments for netaccumulated deviations from estimates. The net liability in the balance sheetincludes employers’ national insurance contributions.The net pension costs for the period (gross pension costs less estimated returnon plan assets) are included in staff costs. The gross pension costs consist of thepresent value of the pension entitlements accrued during the period, intereston pension obligations, and the amortised effects of changes in the benefit planand estimate deviations in the pension scheme.Changes in pension obligations due to changes in economic or actuarial assumptionsare amortised and recognised in the profit and loss account overthe expected remaining average vesting period, if the deviations at the beginningof the year exceed 10 per cent of the greatest of gross pension liabilitiesand gross pension assets.Introduction of a new defined-benefit plan or an improvement of the currentplan will lead to changes in the pension liability. This will be expensed on a linearbasis until the effect of the change is earned. The introduction of new plans orchanges in existing plans that are carried out retrospectively such that the employeesimmediately have earned a paid-up policy (or a change in the paid-uppolicy) is immediately entered in the profit and loss account.For pension plans where agreed payments are made by the group and wherethe plan assets are administered separately (defined-contribution pensionschemes), the yearly contributions are included in staff costs.The pension plans for the group’s Swedish employees are considered to bedefined-benefit plans organised as multi-employer plans. These plans are treatedas defined-contribution plans in the accounts because the necessary informationfor treating the plans as defined-benefit plans has not been made availableby the life insurer with whom the plans are financed. When the necessaryinformation is available and the plans are recognised as defined-benefit plans inaccordance with IAS 19, this can have a significant effect on the group accounts.Share-based remunerationSenior employees in the group are allocated options to buy shares in theparent company. The options are valued based on their fair value on the datethe option plan was adopted. The options are valued in line with the Blackand Scholes model. The cost of the option is distributed over the period theemployees earn the right to receive the options.Note 2. Estimate uncertaintyEstimates and rough calculations are evaluated on an ongoing basis and arebased on historical experience and other factors, including forecasts of futureevents that are regarded as being probable under the present circumstances.The group draws up estimates and makes assumptions/forecasts linked to thefuture. The accounting estimates that result from this will per definition rarelybe completely in agreement with the final result. The group’s most importantaccounting estimates are linked to the following items:Write-down valuation of goodwillThe group carries out annual tests of goodwill items. A write-down valuationis carried out for the cash flow-generating units that have capitalised goodwillitems. This is done based on future cash flows and discount rate. Errors in theseassumptions and estimates can lead to a write-down, which is entered in theprofit and loss account. Where there are indications of a reduction in value, thebook value is assessed against the recoverable amount.


50 <strong>Scana</strong> <strong>Industrier</strong> <strong>ASA</strong>Development costsThe company capitalize development costs used in developing its products inaccordance with the criteria for capitalization in IAS 38. The net present valueof the estimated cash flow is based on budgets and business plans. The groupdoes not expect the product to have a limited lifetime and bases the estimateson a 5-year perspective. Errors in these assumptions and estimates can leadto a write-down, which is entered in the profit and loss account. Where thereare indications of a reduction in value, the book value is assessed against therecoverable amount.Deferred tax assetThe deferred tax asset is capitalised when it is probable that there will befuture taxable income and that the temporary differences or loss-carryforwardscan be deducted in this income. Parts of loss-carry-forwards fall dueat the end of 2013 (cf. note 6). Amendments in assumptions and estimates canlead to a different valuation of deferred tax assets. The company has carriedout a test in connection with capitalised deferred tax assets.Manufacturing contractsWhen reporting manufacturing contracts, assumptions are made regardingestimated costs and earnings as well as the definition and measurement ofdegree of completion. Errors in these estimates may mean that reporting ofincome and earnings deviates from the underlying value created, relative to theproject’s overall income and earnings. Thus, earnings can be reported too earlyor too late in the project.Guarantee provisionsThe management estimate the provision for future guarantee obligations basedon information on historical guarantee requirements, together with otherinformation to calculate future guarantee obligations. Factors that can affectestimated obligations include unknown errors in completed deliveries. However,the company believes the uncertainty is limited. For further information on theguarantee provision, see note18.Note 3.

In 2008, the tax loss has increased. The main reason for this is fiscal defict in the subsidiaries in Vestby.The Group´s opinion is that the loss is caused by special circumstanses that will not affect future earnings. The total benefits has therefore been capitalised.Conveying benefits that falls due in 2013, can only be used as deduction in tax payable, after loss carry forwards have been utilised.

<strong>Scana</strong> <strong>Industrier</strong> <strong>ASA</strong>59Write-down assessments are being made annually, more often if there areany indications of decrease in value. A write-down valuation is carried out forcash flow-generating units which include capitalized goodwill items. Capitalizedgoodwill is being evaluated against recoverable amount.Recoverable amount is the highest of net sales- and utility value. The Grouphas tested goodwill for write-down by estimating utility value. The valuation isbased on cash flow expectations, experience, budgets and business plans forthe period 2009-2013 and a constant rate of growth in subsequent periods.There are no indications for writing down goodwill in 2008.Key assumptions for goodwill testing at <strong>Scana</strong> Offshore Vestby AS and<strong>Scana</strong> AMT AS:• Operating margin - based on achieved margin and expected growth(average operating margin of 10 per cent)• Discounting rate - 11 per cent before tax• Price trends - it is expected that changes in prices of purchased componentsin the forthcoming period are being reflected in the market prices of soldgoods and will not therefore affect the operating margin considerably.• Market share – the estimates are based on assumptions that the marketshare will not change significantly• Growth rate – an annual growth of 2 per cent after the third year.Key assumptions for goodwill testing at <strong>Scana</strong> Offshore Services Inc arebasically based on the same assumptions with the exception of the discountrate which is 11,4 per cent before tax.Sensitivity analysisGenerally, there is a significant difference between calculated recoverableamount and recognized value.For <strong>Scana</strong> Offshore Vestby AS and <strong>Scana</strong> AMT AS, however, a moderatechange in key assumptions could cause a write-down of capitalized value.If the company does not achieve expected turnover, a reduction in valuemay occur. Isolated, both a discounting rate of more than 14 per cent beforetax and an average operating margin lower than 6.5 per cent before tax willcause a write down.Note 9.

In 2008, 400 000 shareoptions were allocated on various dates, ref. the table of options below. Oneof the employees that was included in the programme has decided to leave.This reduces the number of options by 100 000. The options can only beredeemed after the presentation of the second quarter of 2010 and over thefollowing two quarters.At the end of 2008, the share price was NOK 8.20.

Financial riskCentralised risk management<strong>Scana</strong> has a centralised finance function. The most important task is to securethe group’s room to manoeuvre in the short and long term. Hedging ofcurrency, interest and electricity price exposure is carried out in accordancewith the group’s policy and routines. This is done centrally by the FinanceDepartment on the basis of the needs reported by the operational units.Financial risk:The group’s activities are exposed to financial market risk, which mainlyaffects exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and fluctuations in the price ofelectricity. Furthermore, the group (primarily the steel area) is also exposedto development in other raw material prices such as scrap steel and alloys.<strong>Scana</strong> aims to reduce the risk linked to currency, interest and electricity


<strong>Scana</strong> <strong>Industrier</strong> <strong>ASA</strong>69prices by means of derivatives. The group has chosen not to hedge against anyfluctuations in other raw material prices, since <strong>Scana</strong> believes that any increasesin these prices can mainly be offset by increased sale prices, although with acertain time lag.Currency risk:The group is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations since large parts of theproduction, purchasing and sales take place abroad and/or in foreign currency.The group’s internal banking function continuously monitors and reports thegroup’s currency positions. The currency risk is estimated for each foreigncurrency and takes account of assets, debts and probable purchases and sales inthe relevant currency. The company tries to reduce the currency risk by meansof forward contracts, deposits and/or borrowings in the relevant currencies.The main risks linked to currency in the group are related to future salespayments and the group’s assets in foreign subsidiaries.Interest risk:The group’s interest rate risk is mainly linked to the group’s debt portfolio.The risk is managed at group level. The group aims to offset major effectslinked to changes in the market rate. <strong>Scana</strong> has therefore tied parts of the debtportfolio to fixed interest rates in order to curb short-term fluctuations in themarket rate. The group’s strategy is for at least 40 per cent of the company’sinterest-bearing debt to be secured with fixed interest rates. <strong>Scana</strong>’s greatestexposure is to interest rate fluctuations linked to STIBOR.Price risk on electricityThe group has major electricity costs in relation to the production of its goods,mainly in the steel segment. <strong>Scana</strong> protects itself from fluctuations in electricityprices by buying el-derivatives for Swedish subsidiaries. The group has an agreementwith Vattenfall Power Management AB to administer <strong>Scana</strong>’s el-derivativeswith the aim of hedging the future electricity prices that need to be paid inSweden. The estimated electricity consumption is hedged by up to 100 percent for the coming months, while the hedged share of estimated consumptiongradually becomes lower for periods further into the future. The Norwegiansteelworks has an agreement to buy electricity at full cost from the partlyownedpower plant Jørpeland power.Liquidity risk:Securing good financial room to manoeuvre is an important aim for thegroup. As a result of the international financial crisis, a number of measureshave been implemented to reduce the financial risk, particularly throughcloser follow-up of liquidity projections and programmes linked to reducingthe working capital. The group monitors the liquidity situation in the shortand long term through active dialogue with its subsidiaries. At the end of2008, the group had sufficient liquidity reserves and credit lines, and were incompliance with the terms of the loan agreements. Unused credit facilitiesare described in note 15. The company considers the liquidity risk to belimited.Credit risk:The group has guidelines for ensuring that orders are not entered into withcustomers who have had major payment problems and where outstandingamounts do not exceed defined credit limits. The maximum risk exposure isrepresented by the capitalised value of the financial assets, including derivates,in the balance sheet. The customer in derivative dealings is DnBNor andNordea, as well as Vattenfall Power Management AB, and is subject to inspectionby finance inspectors in Sweden. The credit risk linked to derivatesis regarded as low. The group regards its greatest risk exposure to be thecapitalised value of accounts receivable (see note 13) and other receivables(see note 14).<strong>Scana</strong> has only been affected by cancellations to a limited extent. Within theMarine area, the biggest deliveries are to financially robust shipyards in Chinaand Korea with a large degree of state ownership. Within the Oil & Gasarea, service and after sales services are carried out for international leadingplayers. No major reduction is expected in the level of activity in this marketsegment, and the credit risk is considered to be limited. Reduced activity isexpected within new projects and expansions. The company has made aprovision for loss in trade receivables in relation to FPSOcean.Sensitivity analysisIn accordance with IFRS 7, a sensitivity analysis shall be carried out for all financialinstruments that are held on the balance sheet date. In the table below,the sensitivity analysis shows material effects linked to financial instruments.Currency riskThe financial instruments that have currency effects are currency contracts, syndicate loans, accounts receivable, creditors and bank deposits. The table showsthe effects of changes in foreign currency against the NOK. If foreign currency increases by 5 per cent against the NOK, this has a negative effect on the resultlinked to net assets of NOK 63,182 million. Correspondingly, if the NOK is strengthened against foreign currency, the effect on the result is positive.Change in NOK Effect result before tax Effect on equity2008 5 % -63 182 0-5 % 63 182 02007 5 % -29 322 0-5 % 29 322 02006 5 % -24 638 0-5 % 24 638 0Price risk on electricityThe table below shows the effects linked to changes in electricity prices based on the portfolio of electric derivatives that the group has on the balance sheetdate.

<strong>Scana</strong> <strong>Industrier</strong> <strong>ASA</strong>71Hedging of interest rate risk:Floating interest-bearing liabilities are hedged against changes in the interestrate level by entering into interest swaps. As at 31 December 2008, 42 per centof the group’s loans have a fixed interest rate. In 2005, the group entered intotwo interest swaps, where <strong>Scana</strong> receives floating rates of interest and paysfixed rates. Changes in the fair value of these agreements are recognised againstequity in line with IAS 39’s rules on hedge accounting. The maturity profile oninterest swaps is five years, while the interest-bearing liabilities mature afterthree years. Any inefficiencies are recognised in the profit and loss account.For 2008, the hedge ratio is considered to be effective, and the entire changein value linked to the interest rate swaps is consequently recognised againstequity. As at 31 December 2008, the group has two interest swaps totallingSEK 175 million, where the group pays a fixed interest rate and receives afloating rate.Currency Amount Fixed rate Maturity Fair valueSEK 100 000 2.79 % 26-07-10 -785SEK 75 000 2.75 % 16-09-10 -642The floating interest rate is set each quarter based on the 3-month STIBOR interest rate. Interest rate swaps used as hedging instruments in cash flow hedging asat 31 December 2008 totalled NOK -1.4 million before tax booked against equity in 2008.Hedging of fluctuations in electricity pricesThe group has major electricity costs in relation to the production of its goods.<strong>Scana</strong> protects itself from fluctuations in electricity prices by buying el-derivativesfor Swedish subsidiaries. The group has an agreement with Vattenfall PowerManagement AB to administer <strong>Scana</strong>’s el-derivatives with the aim of hedging thefuture electricity prices that need to be paid in Sweden. The estimated electricityconsumption is hedged by up to 100 per cent for the coming months, while thehedged share of estimated consumption gradually becomes lower for periodsfurther into the future. As at 31 December 2008, electricity hedging is carriedout for up to three years in the future. The value of el-derivatives is calculatedbased on the difference between the agreed future electricity price and themarket’s forward prices on the valuation date multiplied by the hedgedvolume. The change in the fair value of el-derivatives is carried against equityto the degree it satisfies the performance requirements for hedge accountingin accordance with IAS 39. The ineffective share of the changes in value isrecognised in the profit and loss account.For the settlement of el-derivatives, <strong>Scana</strong> receives a statement from Vattenfallbased on the difference between the agreed price in accordance with theel-contracts and the price <strong>Scana</strong> has paid for its ongoing electricity consumption.This amount is recognised as other operating costs in such a way thatthe expensed electricity consumption is at all times based on the hedgedelectricity prices.The table below shows an overview of the book value linked to financial instruments distributed by maturity period:2008 2007Fair value -7 942 14 228Booked against equity -4 253 14 278Hedging instruments removed from equity 9 427 200The table below gives an overview of book values connected to financial instruments distributed according to due date.2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014As at 31.12.08 Remaining years < 1 1 - 2 2 - 3 3 - 4 4 - 5 > 5 TotalFixed rateInterest rate swaps -1 427 -1 427FloatingBank deposits 138 884 138 884Bank overdraft -4 167 -4 167Financial leasing -5 873 -8 510 -5 775 -3 505 -1 887 -5 769 -31 319Factoring -54 536 -54 536Syndicate loan -46 667 -46 667 -46 667 -236 029 -376 030Long-term credit facilities -45 210 -45 210Interest-bearing loans Leshan <strong>Scana</strong> -92 036 -92 036Handelsbanken -667 -667 -667 -667 -667 -4 667 -8 000Currency contracts -96 109 -45 377 -2 171 -143 657

For interest rateswap contracts and electric derivatives, the basis is the present value of the cashflow. The fair value of cash, bank overdrafts and other interest-bearing debt is regardto be almost equal to the capitalised value, since these have a short maturityperiod and thereby give floating interest rates that are adjusted in line withchanges in the general interest rate level. Likewise, the fair value of accountsreceivable and account payables are considered to be equal to the book value,since both items have a short maturity period and were entered into undernormal conditions.The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated using the estimateddiscounted cash flow based on the market’s forward interest rates on thevaluation date, with an addition to reflect the bank’s profit margins.Below table gives an overview of the book value and fair value of the group’s financial instruments.Book value/fair valuenote 2008 2007 2006Financial assetsBank deposits 15 138 884 205 576 89 704Trade receivables 13 670 912 552 590 466 796Other financial assets 14 69 503 62 730 64 557Electricity derivatives 14 5 560 20 246 7 867Interest rate swaps 14 -1 427 6 823 6 672Forward currency contracts 14 2 514 12 800 5 810Total 885 946 860 765 641 407Financial liabilitiesCreditors 20 277 329 242 765 218 808Advances from customers 13 113 900 136 155 57 765Bank overdraft 15 4 167 0 26 306Financial leasing 21 31 319 25 931 15 915Interest-bearing loans* 575 812 469 156 371 607Currency contracts 18/19 146 170 7 427 7 469Electricity derivatives 18 13 502 6 018 8 156Total 1 162 199 887 452 706 026* Booked value and fair value are congruent, except from interest-bearing debt in 2008.

<strong>Scana</strong> <strong>Industrier</strong> <strong>ASA</strong>75Fair value on the acquisition date relates to book values in <strong>Scana</strong> OffshoreServices Inc. Goodwill is also recognised in the company accounts. Book valueshows recognised values in BOP Stacking Inc. on the acquisition date.GoodwillThe total purchase price minus added value gives a residual value that cannotbe allocated to a specific asset or obligation. The residual value is entered inthe company accounts as goodwill. Goodwill mainly consists of the followingcomponents:• The employees’ high level of technical expertise and knowledge within designand construction. The engineering team has long and extensive experience.Investing in the establishing of a similar engineering team will be extremelyexpensive. The employee’s knowledge does not satisfy the control criteriain IAS 38 for recognising intangible assets and is therefore part of goodwill.• The acquisition gives <strong>Scana</strong> direct contact with customers in the largestservice market for oil and gas.• The group expects synergies within the Oil & Gas area, which will give thegroup a stronger market position.Share of profit/loss from the acquired unit in 2008Since takeover on 1 June 2008, <strong>Scana</strong> Offshore Services has contributed witha turnover of NOK 43 million and a net profit for the year of NOK 6.5 million.Note 28.

Events after balance sheet date1. FPSOcean bankruptFPSOcean filed a bankruptcy petition on 19 February 2009. On this basis, <strong>Scana</strong>has allocated NOK 47 million to losses relating to the loading buoy project inthe fourth quarter of 2008. The remaining value of inventory represents theestimated minimum value of the equipment in the event of realisation by athird party. <strong>Scana</strong>’s remaining works and risk in connection with the project arelimited. <strong>Scana</strong>’s assessment is that the ship will be completed by a new owner.2. Acquisition of business in Poland<strong>Scana</strong> <strong>Industrier</strong> <strong>ASA</strong> has entered into an agreement for the purchase of ABB’smarine activity in Poland (<strong>Scana</strong> Zamech). The company designs, manufacturesand installs tunnel thrusters, shafts and fixed and manoeuvrable propellers forships ranging from approximately 1,000 tonnes and upwards to the largest typesof ships.In 2008, the company had 60 employees and a turnover of NOK 140 million.Its customers include a number of shipyards in Europe and the Far East. Salesof thrusters, propellers and shafts represent 80 per cent of turnover, with theremaining 20 per cent coming from servicing and sales of spare parts. Theacquisition forms a solid basis for further developing <strong>Scana</strong>’s propulsion activities.The acquisition also increases the activity within <strong>Scana</strong>’s service portfolio, whichis important to profitability.3. Change in actual value of currency contracts<strong>Scana</strong> secures all major sales and purchasing contracts in foreign currencies.At the end of 2008, the NOK was weakened against the EUR, GBP and USD.The change in value must be directly entered in the profit and loss accountin accordance with the IFRS, but has no liquidity effect. As of 24 March 2009,the negative value of the contracts was reduced to NOK -47 million after astrengthening of the NOK. This change had a positive effect on the key figures.4. Order Back log<strong>Scana</strong>’s main products are well diversified, niche oriented and are leadingproducts within their market segments. After a number of years of growth,the financial crisis and the following downturn in the market economy, is expectedto reduce the level of activity. The market uncertainty for the group’sproducts and services is however limited in 2009, since a significant portionof the production capacity has already been sold. In the first months of 2009the group has registered a lower order inflow compared to 2008.A number of measurements have been done in order to meet the reducedlevel of activity in the subsidiaries, among others increased focus on marketand sales efforts, increased focus on the working capital and adjustments ofthe capacity in accordance with the new level of activity.

When the fixed rate is lower than the floating rate, <strong>Scana</strong> receives and recognises the difference as income. The income is accrued overthe relevant interes periode. As at 31 December 2008, the company has two interest swaps totalling SEK 175 millin, where the company pays a fixed interest rateand receives a floating rate.
