Overview of Results 2012 Global
2012 Q4 and full-year key figures ABB proposes to raise dividend on the back of solid growth and near-record cash flow Full-year 2012 orders and revenues higher despite difficult business climate Continued growth in automation supported by Thomas & Betts acquisition Power Products with solid operational EBITDA margin in a tough environment Continued robust free cash flow generation
2012 Q4 and full-year key figures.. Cont Global economic growth remained under pressure through the fourth quarter of 2012 ABB was able to grow orders by 4 percent Base orders (below $15 million) at the same level on an organic basis as in the fourth quarter of 2011. Industrial demand for more energy efficient production technologies and the need to deliver more electricity through existing power grids remained the key growth drivers. ABB Month DD, YYYY Slide 7
Summary of 2012 Solid growth and near-record cash flow Our long-term growth drivers such as the need for greater industrial productivity, more reliable and efficient power delivery and growth in renewables remain in place. Shorter-term trends such as industrial production growth and government policy are expected to be the main determinants of demand in 2013. We will continue to focus on executing our large order backlog and taking advantage of our broad product and geographic scope to capture profitable growth opportunities in line with our 2011-15 targets. We will continue to drive cost savings and productivity improvements equivalent to 3-5 percent of cost of sales every year through improved supply management, better quality and higher returns on investments in sales and R&D. We remain committed to delivering higher cash to shareholders and improving returns on our capital investments in both organic and inorganic growth.
Overview of Results South Africa
Results overview Orders up 36% Orders increased by 36% to R4,3 billion Large orders reported in solar, motors and generators in Q3 & Q4 Export orders at 15% of total orders for 2012 Revenue up 2% to R3,5 billion South Africa 80% of revenue and cross-border 20% (Mozambique, DRC, Kenya and Botswana) Strong focus on good contract execution Continued improved productivity through integration into one facility (Longmeadow) Order book backlog at R4 billion No acquisitions during the period New capacitor factory in Longmeadow ABB Group February 14 2013 Slide 10
Market context ABB Group February 14 2013 Slide 11 Improvement in market conditions, mainly outside South Africa Continued demand from power infrastructure projects in South Africa and Southern Africa Medium voltage switchgear with Eskom and municipalities New power plants in solar and wind Focus on renewables Energy efficiency continues to be a significant driver for customers to reduce costs Price increases over the last three years Old plant and systems, eg. motors, generators (large order for Alrode factory) Process industries invested in service and upgrades of existing plants Mining and minerals seen a drop after July Global customers continue investing in Africa (Mozambique and Tanzania a focus)
Market context continued IPPs (Independent Power Producers) Positioned to support IPPs 3 contracts signed for IPP renewable spend in phase 1 Interaction with key players in the market to position ABB as a key supplier Renewable spend Most of the spend coming from solar and wind Number of interested solar developers above expectations Growth in export market i.e. power electronics for mining industry and substations for utilities ABB Group February 14 2013 Slide 12
ABB Africa strategy
Africa Strategy update Focus on 10 countries, with Egypt and South Africa as distribution hubs Staff numbers in the focus countries have increased significantly 359 hired in 2012 Approx. 120 new ABB people recruited from local communities in countries such as Namibia, Tanzania, Kenya, Mozambique and Angola Sales force and engineers equipped with adequate skills, trained in all aspects of the business New country office now operating in Mozambique and the Democratic Republic of Congo Additional branch offices in other countries - Kenya, Tanzania and Nambia to provide service and support to remote industry centres Enthusiastic response from current and new customers to the increased ABB presence in the countries Continuous growth in both direct and indirect orders enabled ABB to exceed budgets ABB Group February 14 Slide 14
