ry. On May 2 1985, Ingemar and Anders started their first dealership in Borås” 30 1985-2015 I.A. HEDIN BIL AB CEO: Anders Hedin | Deputy CEO and Operating Manager: Jörgen Loikas | www.hedinbil.se 91% of I.A. Hedin Bil AB (Hedin Bil) is owned by Anders Hedin and 9% by Ingemar Hedin. The Group’s head office is in Mölndal, Gothenburg. The Parent Company, I.A. Hedin Bil AB, has three subsidiaries: Hedin Göteborg Bil AB (18 branches), Hedin Helsingborg Bil AB (13 branches) and Hedin Stockholm Bil AB (11 branches). We have branches at 25 locations, from Uppsala in the north to Trelleborg in the south. We run our operations in 42 attractive facilities and we have a full service offering for 24 car brands. The company had an average of 1,183 employees during the past year. Hedin Bil is the largest, privately owned car dealership in the Nordic region and has a full service offering with regard to private and corporate car ownership. Financing, service agreements and insurance are just some of the components that make up our total concept. This enables us to provide a simple and affordable solution to the customer. ANNIVERSARY AND ALL TIME HIGH 2015 was an excellent year for passenger cars, not only for Hedin Bil, but also for the entire industry. New records were set month after month, both in car sales and after-sales. We ended the year with total sales of 40,918 vehicles. The effects of investments made during 2014, including new branches, have been very positive. We increased our share of the Swedish market to 6.1%, compared to 5.3% the previous year. We ran a number of marketing campaigns during the year to celebrate our 30th anniversary as a car dealership. RATIONALISED DELIVERIES AND REDUCED STOCK Vehicle Administration, which is responsible for all the Hedin Bil Group's vehicle deliveries, has been rationalised and all delivery administration now takes place via the Mölndal branch. Part of this reorganisation has been to divide the staff into product teams in order to achieve maximum possible efficiency, which in turn ensures that we have the right person in the right place. The focus during the year was largely on reducing stock, despite the significant increase in sales. Vehicle stocks overall have been reduced by 5%. Stocks of older vehicles have been reduced by 27%. 40,918 SOLD VEHICLES Multi-year comparison Net turnover (TSEK) Profit after financial items Average number of employees 2015 2014 8,075,853 6,514,601 158,553 1,183 114,205 1,113 ANDERS HEDIN INVEST AB ANNUAL REPORT / 2015 13 DEALERSHIPS YEARS IN THE BUSINESS 42 30 24 CAR BRANDS
