Operations comprise a product portfolio of various types of
advanced weapon systems such as support weapons,
missiles, torpedoes, Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs)
and signature management systems that make it more
difficult for various types of sensors to detect and identify
people or objects.
SALES, INCOME AND ORDERS
Orders received
Orders received in  included an order for the air defence system
RBS  from Finland. Contracts were signed for components to the
Carl-Gustaf man-portable weapon system, and France placed an
order for the anti-tank weapon ATCS. Saab also received a signi-
cant order for multispectral camouage products and services. An
order was received from FMV for the generation and subsequent
delivery of -dimensional (D) maps to the Swedish Armed Forces
for use in national as well as international operations.
Orders received where the order sum was more than MSEK 
represented  per cent () of total order bookings.
Sales
Sales increased mainly as a result of a higher activity level within the
weapons system area. Markets outside Sweden accounted for  per
cent () of sales in .
Income and margin
Protability in  increased mainly as a result of the eects from
the Billion+ programme. Due to an increased level of deliveries at
the end of the year, the adjusted protability increased in the fourth
quarter. In the fourth quarter, a restructuring charge of MSEK 
was recorded related to the restructuring measures announced on 
November , where Dynamics will terminate its operations in
Eskilstuna, Sweden, in  and part of the remaining production will
be moved to Karlskoga in . At the same time it was announced
that the underwater vehicles operations, based in Motala, Sweden,
will be integrated with UK-based Saab Seaeye Ltd. Under the condi-
tion that the ongoing discussions with potential clients lead to a long-
term agreement, remaining parts of the operations will be integrated
with Dynamics in Linköping. As a consequence of this change all
employees in Motala were served notice in December .
A property holding company was divested in  for MSEK ,
which impacted cash ow positively. e transaction generated a
capital gain of MSEK .
Operating cash flow
Operating cash ow in  was positive due to deliveries and major
milestone payments.
