The previously published figures for the divisions for 2010 and 2011 have now been restated to reflect this new operational structure. New intra-Group pricing principles have also been introduced from 1 January 2012, which change the profit split between the manufacturing and sales units. To enable comparison the new pricing principles have been applied also in the restated figures for 2010 and 2011. As usual the operating margin is calculated on total sales including intra-Group sales. The increase in intra-Group sales compared to earlier published figures is a result of the new structure.
