KONGSBERG <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2011</strong><br />

DIRECTORS’ REPORT<br />

<strong>2011</strong><br />

<strong>2011</strong> was a good year for <strong>Kongsberg</strong> <strong>Gruppen</strong><br />

(KONGSBERG). The Group’s market position was<br />

strengthened. Turnover and profit were maintained at<br />

about the same level as the previous year. New orders<br />

increased by over 10 per cent in a year of considerable<br />

uncertainty in the global economy. Cash flow from<br />

operations was MNOK 1,643, the Group strengthened its<br />

financial position and maintains cash substantially above<br />

interest bearing debt. The foundation for the Group’s<br />

operations in 2012 is good. Earnings per share was<br />

NOK 11.93 (NOK 12.46). The Board proposes a dividend<br />

per share of NOK 3.75 (NOK 3.75) which is in line with<br />

the Group’s dividend policy.<br />

Important events in <strong>2011</strong><br />

Both <strong>Kongsberg</strong> <strong>Maritime</strong>, <strong>Kongsberg</strong> Defence Systems<br />

and <strong>Kongsberg</strong> Protech Systems have shown good results<br />

and margins in <strong>2011</strong>. The revenue increased in <strong>Kongsberg</strong><br />

<strong>Maritime</strong> and <strong>Kongsberg</strong> Defence Systems, while they were<br />

reduced in <strong>Kongsberg</strong> Protech Systems as a result of<br />

reduced deliveries to the business area’s largest customer<br />

- the U.S. Army. Total operating revenues decreased 2.4 per<br />

cent. The Group’s new orders in <strong>2011</strong> was up 10.5 per cent<br />

compared with 2010. <strong>Kongsberg</strong> <strong>Maritime</strong> operates in a<br />

competitive market that is closely related to the development<br />

in the offshore industry and the contracting activity<br />

for traditional commercial vessels. The investments in the<br />

offshore industry have been relatively high in <strong>2011</strong>, while<br />

the overall world economy is still characterized by high<br />

uncertainty. Despite this uncertainty, as well as lower<br />

contracting of commercial vessels, <strong>Kongsberg</strong> <strong>Maritime</strong><br />

orders increased by about 30 per cent compared to 2010.<br />

This confirms the business area’s strong market position.<br />

New orders in <strong>Kongsberg</strong> Defence Systems increased by<br />

44 per cent compared with the previous year. The increase<br />

in new orders confirms that the business area’s technologically<br />

advanced product portfolio is attractive to the<br />

defence market. <strong>Kongsberg</strong> Protech Systems had a 39 per<br />

cent decrease in new orders compared to 2010, due to a<br />

weaker overall market. The business area is in a transitional<br />

and development phase which constitutes the foundation<br />

for future growth. The Group is investing considerably in<br />

new product development while there is intense marketing<br />

activities. This year will be important for the business area<br />
