Alfa Laval Q4 2024


Comment from Tom Erixon
President and CEO

Outlook for the first quarter


“We expect demand in the first quarter to be
on about the same level as in the fourth
quarter.”

Earlier published outlook (October 24, 2024):


“We expect demand in the fourth quarter to be
on a lower level compared to the third quarter.”

continues to grow at a healthy rate. The Food & Water Division had
an exceptional year in 2023 driven by a record order intake in
Desmet with several large project orders. Consequently, order Tom Erixon,
intake declined somewhat in 2024, as expected. Still, there was a President and CEO
healthy growth in most product and application areas, including the
important channel partner business and excluding Desmet, the
division grew by 6 percent.

The EBITA margin for the full year improved somewhat compared to
last year and ended at 16.6 percent. The fourth quarter also
improved slightly to 16 percent. The profitability in the quarter is
affected by a seasonally higher share of project invoicing at year
end. In addition, costs for a few restructuring projects in the Food &
Water Division and the Marine Division had a negative cost impact
of about 200 MSEK in the quarter. The charges are considered as
normal costs of running and adapting the business to an evolving
market, and not as comparison distortion items.

performance, compensated for increased costs driven by inflation
but also increased sales and administrative costs. Currency had a
small positive impact in the quarter.

Sustainability

Case studies
A safer solution
An important part of Alfa Laval’s safety work is to ensure safe
machines and a safe work environment when for instance testing
our products. Risk assessments are therefore carried out regularly
and new ways of working or solutions are developed. One example
of a new safer service solution implemented in 2024 is a floating
dock used for installing and testing the AquaStream, a pumping
system for fish cages. The installation and tests were previously
performed mainly from boat. The new solution, with a more stable
foundation to stand on, ensures a safer work environment and
decreases the risk of product damage.

Reduced water withdrawal


Alfa Laval continuously work to reduce the water withdrawal at our
sites. During 2024, the Eskilstuna factory team mapped the water
used in production. The amount of water used at the site was
identified to be closely linked to the production hours of a 3D printer
where water is used to cool down the equipment. By connecting this
equipment to the ground cooling water, the water withdrawn at the
site was reduced by 50%, saving 4000 m3 water/year.

Sustainable transportation solution


Alfa Laval sites are regularly reviewed to identify opportunities to
replace diesel with electric vehicles for domestic transport. To
reduce scope 3, three electric trucks have replaced diesel trucks.
The three trucks operate from Alfa Laval in Lund every day and
drives around 150,000 kilometres yearly. This generates zero
emissions compared to the 82 ton CO2 emission a diesel truck
would produce during a year. The improvement is made possible
through partnership with Interfjord.

New products during the fourth quarter
During the fourth quarter Alfa Laval has introduced
among others the following new products that help
our customers to become more energy efficient,
reduce their carbon footprint and improve their
processes:

1. Alfa Laval T25MW


Alfa Laval's Semi-Welded Plate Heat Exchanger technology is
tailored to the new energy landscape and equally compatible with
existing industries - meeting the needs of a sustainable future. The
1.1.
T25 sets a new standard for efficiency and reliability in demanding
applications. Key features include extended gasket lifetime,
enhanced distribution for superior heat transfer and serviceability
for simplified maintenance.

2. Alfa Laval FCM Ammonia


In partnership with Swiss engine designer WinGD, Alfa Laval has
delivered two test systems for WinGD’s ammonia-fuelled engines.
The Alfa Laval FCM Ammonia fuel supply system design will be
validated by the end of 2024, with the first marine delivery expected
by the end of 2025.

3. Alfa Laval ExtendTM


2. 2.
Alfa Laval Extend™ is a revolutionary plug-and-play heat exchanger
accessory designed for the dairy industry. The electrical pod is
connected to the inlet and outlet pipes of the pasteurizer and sends
a weak current through the plate pack, preventing bacteria from
attaching to the surface. This innovative solution works without
chemicals, coatings, or contact with the product, and can be
installed by in-house engineers without disturbing production.
Extend™ reduces biofilm build-up by up to 99% and extends the
critical cleaning interval by 50%, significantly increasing uptime in
the production line. Alfa Laval Extend™ is suitable for any plate heat
exchanger, making it a versatile solution for the industry.
