Driving forces
Multinational missions and new technology drive the need for open
architecture, system integration and interoperability. Interest is in-
creasing in sustainable solutions that prioritise sensors and com-
mand and control capabilities.
Orders received
Orders bookings included orders from FMV for the development
of Gripen E and serial production of 60 Gripen E for Sweden. e
total order value related to Electronic Defence Systems amounted
to approximately SEK 3.2billion. FMV also ordered an upgrade of
Sweden’s ground based air defence.
Two orders were received regarding upgrades of the Erieye
AEW&C Mission System in Brazil. An order was also received
for signal-sensor equipment for the Brazilian border security
programme Sisfron.
ree orders were received for self-protection equipment for
the German Air Force’s Tornado eet. Two orders were received for
the serial production of an integrated electronic warfare self-pro-
tection system for installation on the Indian Army’s and Air force’s
Advanced Light Helicopter.
A contract was signed with Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine
Engineering Korea, for development and integration of combat
management and radar systems on a new frigate for the Royal
ai Navy.
Orders received, where the order sum exceeded MSEK 100, repre-
sented 70 per cent (37) of total order bookings.
Sales, income and margin
e main reason for the decrease in sales in 2013 compared to
2012 was a low level of order bookings in 2011 and 2012.
Markets outside Sweden accounted for 69percent (76) of sales.
e operating loss in 2013 was mainly attributable to increased
investments in product development projects, costs for rationali-
sation measures and a dierent project mix compared to 2012.
During 2012, a reduction in the potential earn-out liability related
to the acquisition of Sensis in 2011 contributed with MSEK154 to
the operating income.
Cash flow
Final payments related to the completion of projects, as well as
timing dierences in milestone payments had a positive impact
on operating cash ow in 2013.
Employees
In September, Saab announced its intention to reduce headcount
by 150–175 employees in Gothenburg, Sweden. is will be
achieved through a competence shi programme. e reduc-
tions are the result of decreased business volumes and the current
technology shi.
