GOTHENBURG, Sweden,
Dec. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SKF has
completed the previously announced divestment of its linear and
actuation technology business to Triton.
The total consideration of the divestment is SEK 2.75 billion on a cash- and debt-free basis.
The closing of the divestment will have a positive effect on the
operating result for Q4 2018 of SEK 1.2
billion.
Christian Johansson, Senior Vice
President and CFO says, "Our efforts to focus on our core business
around the rotating shaft has generated approximately SEK 7 billion during the last three years. These
funds have been used to strengthen the balance sheet and increase
investments in manufacturing and R&D. We now have a stronger
financial position from which to build upon."

associated with customer settlements will have a negative effect on
