  • Leif Johansson Speech at AGM 2006 Eng
    AB Volvo’s Annual General Meeting 2006 Speech by the President and CEO, Leif Johansson Introduction Shareholders, ladies and gentlemen The Volvo Group has completed another successful year. A record year with strong development in largely all markets. The Group grew by 14% to sales of SEK 231 billion. All business areas improved their earnings. In some instances by impressive figures. This is the fruit of the work of many employees with improving the operations and implementing plans we made in recent years. Naturally, without this work we would not be in the position we are in today. I will present a general description of the development of our business areas and then detail the challenges and the opportunities we face, both in the short and long term. In a departure from the usual order, let me first begin with our newest business area, Financial Services. Development and earnings of the business areas Financial Services Our customer financing is expanding and includes Europe, North America, Australia, parts of South America and Asia, and can now be found in 50 countries. The credit portfolio grew by SEK 15 billion to SEK 79 billion in 2005. This was achieved on a market with ever-increasing competition from banks All regions improved their earnings, the total of which was nearly SEK 2 billion. The return on shareholders' equity amounted to 15%, which is favorable considering the current low interest-rate levels in Sweden. It is important for the future that we take opportunities to expand our credit operations in growth markets at the same time as we maintain low overhead costs.
