CEO'S COMMENTS

Sustainability permeates our entire organisation as a driving force for innovation and forms a foundation for future growth.

Strong financial performance

engcon posted a strong third quarter with increased net sales and an improved operating profit. Sales continue to rise and the order intake amounted to SEK 367 million (347), an organic increase of 8 per cent. Net sales amounted to SEK 412 million (391) and increased organically by 8 per cent. The gross margin improved considerably and amounted to 46 per cent (40) for the quarter, and was primarily a result of a strong market and product mix. Operating profit amounted to SEK 91 million (55), corresponding to an operating margin of 22 per cent (14). The strong performance in the quarter was the result of the high gross margin and lower selling costs. We once again demonstrate that, despite relatively low turnover, we can deliver profitability above our financial target.

Order intake driven by Europe

Europe is the engine of our growth and continued strong demand in the region provides an organic order growth of 39 per cent. An established and knowledgeable organisation and greater awareness of the tiltrotator concept, combined with the partnerships that have been established in the past few years, have proven valuable for growth in the European region.

In the Nordic region, the order intake remains at the same level as the previous year. Demand remains low and even if customers are needing to replace their vehicle fleets, factors such as high interest rates have led to cautious purchasing behaviour. For increased demand in the Nordics, additional positive signals at the macro level are required to create conditions for economic recovery.

Challenges in the Americas persist with a decline in order intake of 29 per cent. High interest rates and a weaker economy combined with the upcoming election have led to cautiousness in the market. As we have previously mentioned, we are continuing our efforts to strengthen our organisation with the purpose of increasing sales.

In Asia-Oceania, order intake declined 6 per cent. Since Asia-Oceania is our smallest region in terms of volume, major orders from OEM´s lead to fluctuation in the order intake between quarters.

In the short term, we expect stable development with continued growth. In the fourth quarter, we anticipate insignificant pre-purchase effects, as only marginal price increases have been announced. For 2025, we foresee increased demand in the Nordic region.

Sustainability as a driving force for long-term growth

On 1 October, engcon was awarded the Carnegie Sustainability Award 2024 in the category of Best Newcomer. Sustainability permeates our entire organisation as a driving force for innovation and serves as a cornerstone for our future growth. I am very proud that we have been recognised in this sense and that our important efforts, which are benefiting customers, shareholders and society at large, are being acknowledged.

The quarter demonstrated that our scalable and capital-efficient business model can generate strong earnings despite relatively low volumes. At the same time, we are well prepared to meet increased demand. Our efforts to change the world of digging together are continuing every single day across the entire world.

Krister Blomgren President and CEO

engcon Group's operations are conducted and reported as a single segment. As further disclosures, order intake and net sales are reported based on the Group's geographic regions: Nordic region, Europe (excl. the Nordic region), the Americas and Asia-Oceania, which includes the rest of the world.

OTHER INFORMATION

Risks and uncertainties

engcon is, by way of its operations, exposed to various risks that may give rise to variations in earnings and cash flow. Significant risks and uncertainties include industry and market risks, operational risks and financial risks. Risks and uncertainties are consistent with the description contained in the 2023 Annual Report, pages 40-44, with the addition of what is stated below. The Annual Report is available at www.engcongroup.com.

Although the prevailing global situation had some impact on engcon's operations during the period, engcon will be further affected going forward. The uncertainty related to the prevailing external and economic situation with inflation, higher interest rates, currency effects and geopolitical turbulence could entail a negative impact for engcon in the form of a decline in demand, a cautious approach to placing orders and supply chain disruptions.

The Board and Group management continue to closely monitor developments and the potential effects these could lead to.

Lawsuit

In May 2023, the Swedish Patent and Market Court announced its verdict regarding Rototilt's lawsuit against engcon alleging infringements by engcon of Rototilt patented technology. The damages claimed amount to approximately SEK 200 million. The alleged infringement relates to sensor technology in the Q-safe locking system. The court determined that no infringement had taken place and therefore dismissed Rototilt's action. At the same hearing, engcon claimed that Rototilt's patent should be declared invalid. However, the court determined that the patent was valid. Following appeals, both parties were granted leave to appeal by the Swedish Patent and Market Court. The case is scheduled for a main hearing in the Swedish Patent and Market Court in February 2025.

In consultation with experts in the field of patent law engaged by engcon as well as with the company's legal advisors, engcon has assessed that no patent infringement has taken place and thus no provision for this has been made in the accounts.

Employees

The average number of full-time employees at the end of the quarter amounted to 386 (415), of whom 23 per cent (22) were women and 77 per cent (78) men.

Seasonal variations

Seasonal variations have little impact on engcon's operations and diminish successively on account of sales in several markets, which contributes to a more even earnings trend over the course of the year. The fourth quarter is normally characterised by a higher order intake, partly as an effect of forthcoming price increases.

Share capital and shareholders

The company's registered share capital at 30 September 2024 amounted to SEK 21,250,320, distributed among 35,344,778 Class A shares and 116,443,222 Class B shares. The shares have a quotient value of SEK 0.14 per share. Each Class A share represents ten votes and each Class B share one vote. On 30 September 2024, there were 6,745 shareholders in the company.

The company's largest shareholder on 30 September 2024 was the company's founder, Stig Engström, through the company Ommapo förvaltning AB, which controlled 35.4 per cent of the capital and 67.1 per cent of the votes.

REVIEW REPORT

Auditor's review report of the interim report prepared in accordance with IAS 34

To the Board of Directors and CEO of engcon AB, Corp. Reg. No. 556647-1727

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim report of engcon AB as of 30 September 2024 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in

accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Parent Company.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

engcon's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as approved by the EU. This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable rules in the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The Parent Company's interim report has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and Recommendation RFR 2 Financial Reporting for Legal Entities of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board. Disclosures according to IAS 34 are provided in the notes and elsewhere in the interim report. The

accounting policies applied in the preparation of this interim report apply to all periods and correspond with the accounting policies presented in engcon's 2023 Annual Report, Note 2 Accounting policies. No new and revised standards and interpretations that came into force on 1 January 2024 have had any material impact on engcon's financial statements. From 1 January 2024, provisions for product warranties are divided into long and short-term components, and the comparison periods were restated. At 31 December 2023, SEK 22 million was reclassified from long-term to short-term provisions for product warranty.

NOTE 2. KEY ASSESSMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make assessments and estimates in addition to the assessments that impact the application of the accounting policies and the recognised amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates. The assessments and sources of uncertainty in the estimates correspond with those presented

in the most recent annual report. For more details on key assessments and estimates, refer to Note 3 of the 2023 Annual Report. engcon could continue to be impacted by the prevailing business environment and macro-economic situation with increasing inflation and interest-rate hikes, for more information, refer to page 7 in the Risks and uncertainties section.

NOTE 3. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of the Group's financial instruments, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Derivatives

The company holds derivatives that are measured at fair value at level 2 through profit or loss. At 30 September, there was a receivable (liability) amounting to SEK 2 million (4). The measurement method is discounting of contractual cash flows with interest and currency on the balance sheet date.

NOTE 5. SEGMENT REPORTING AND ALLOCATION OF REVENUE

Operating segments are accounted for in a way that is consistent with the internal reports submitted to the chief operating decision maker. Group management and the CEO have been identified as the chief operating decision makers for assessment of the Group's earnings and position, as well as making strategic decisions. Group management and the CEO monitor the financial development in the Group as a unit. Accordingly, only one segment is recognised, which corresponds with the consolidated income statement. The reason that the Group is monitored as a segment is that earnings measures are only monitored at total level, since production and other overall costs are central for the Group and not distributed among the geographical market regions. Only the regions' sales and order intake in volume are monitored at a level lower than the operating segment.

Geographic market regions

The Group's sales are divided into four geographic market regions:

  • Nordic region Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland
  • Europe Europe excluding the Nordic region
  • Americas North America and South America
  • Asia-Oceania Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand and Rest of the world

Internal sales are conducted between the production companies and the local sales companies, as well as between the local sales companies. Sales and installations are mainly conducted through dealers and our own local sales companies.

NOTE 6. INCENTIVE PROGRAMMES

In 2021, the Board resolved to introduce a long-term incentive programme in the form of a warrant programme for employees in the engcon Group. The purpose of the program is to encourage broad-based share ownership amongst the company's employees, facilitate recruitment, maintain competent employees, increase the alignment of interests between the employees and the company's shareholders and increase motivation to reach or exceed the company's financial targets. As of 30 September, 198 (215) engcon employees were participating in the warrant programme. A total of 1,517,880 warrants were issued, of which as of 30 September 2024 1,101,785 (1,218,285)

were subscribed for. The change pertains to the return of warrants in conjunction with termination of employment. Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one share in engcon at an agreed future price. Warrants are conditional on a vesting period of five years. To participate in this programme, employees encompassed by the programme pay a premium that is based on the fair value of allotted warrants that are measured in accordance with the Black & Scholes model. Therefore, for this programme, no cost is recognised during the vesting period since employees have paid the fair value.
