Other automotive markets and the civil aerospace market are expected to remain solid. The fourth quarter is anticipated to show the usual seasonal improvement, although the softening markets are expected to have some impact on performance. Volvo Aerospace The acquisition of Volvo Aerospace completed on 1 October 2012. As previously described, Volvo Aerospace is expected to generate sales of around £170 million in the fourth quarter with a trading profit of around £15 million. Including restructuring, transaction and interest costs, the Group expects to report a loss before taxation for Volvo Aerospace of around £15 million, before fair value accounting and pension adjustments, which have yet to be fully determined.
