January 2009: Outlook for the first quarter 2009

24 The demand for SKF products and services is expected to be significantly lower for the Group in total and for all regions. It is also expected to be significantly lower for the Automotive and Service Divisions and lower for the Industrial Division.

The manufacturing level will be significantly lower to reflect both the new demand situation and to reduce inventory.
