CEO´S COMMENTS

THIRD QUARTER - STRONG RESULTS IN A CHALLENGING MARKET

Overall, activity was at a high level during the quarter and, despite calendar effects and hesitancy in certain customer segments, total sales increased by 11 percent, 3 percent of which was organic. Profit (EBITA) increased by 17 percent to SEK 790 million with a strengthened margin of 14.4 percent (13.6). Our strong cash flow allows for a high pace of acquisition and we acquired three new companies during the quarter and another one after the end of the period. It is with great pride that I can conclude that our business model and unique culture, based on entrepreneurship and decentralised responsibility, continues to generate profitable growth, even in a challenging market.

MARKET TREND

The business situation with clear differences between, but also within, our most important customer segments persisted. Demand for infrastructure products for national and regional grids was very strong during the quarter. We also saw continued positive demand for products and solutions from manufacturing companies in the defence industry and among marine customers. In total, the business situation was stable within the medical technology, electronics, engineering and process industries. The challenging business situation in building and installation remained unchanged, which also affected demand in special vehicles, where construction machinery in particular had a weak development. Order intake for new projects in the sawmill industry remained at low levels and, in the third quarter, we also saw a weakening of the aftermarket in this segment. From a geographical perspective, the business situation was, on the whole, stable in the Nordic region, with the exception of Finland, where it remained weak. In our principal markets outside the Nordic region the business situation was, on the whole, stable in DACH and weak in Benelux, while it was positive in the UK.

ACQUISITIONS

During the quarter, we continued to acquire well-managed and sustainable companies with high profitability. Over the financial year to date, we have acquired eleven companies with combined annual sales of about SEK 1,450 million, of which eight was outside the Nordic region. The strength of the strategy of strengthening our niche positions with highperforming companies, given a cultural match but regardless of geography, is growing increasingly apparent and we are continuing to execute as planned. Our pipeline of attractive acquisition candidates is well-filled and, combined with our strong financial position, we expect to continue to make acquisitions at a high pace going forward.

OUTLOOK

Despite a continued uncertain macroeconomic situation and continued investment hesitancy in certain customer segments, our confidence in the resilience of our diversified business and our strategic positions with structural growth remains undiminished. A well-filled order book combined with solid order intake in the third quarter makes the short-term outlook good. Addtech has an ambitious growth plan and our ability to quickly adapt to new conditions and address challenges but above all to capture potential, makes us well-equipped for the future and to continue generating value.

Market

Overall, the business situation was favourable for the Automation business area in the third quarter of the year.

Demand was weak from customers in building and installation, while it was stable in energy, special vehicles and electronics. Demand was strongest in the engineering segment, medical technology and the defence industry and improved in data and telecom. The revaluation of contingent purchase considerations affected profit for the quarter positively by about SEK 3 million.

Market

The Energy business area experienced a continued strong market position in the third quarter and very good sales growth. Demand was highly favourable for infrastructure products for the conversion and extension of national and regional grids, as well as for niche products for electrical transmission, and products and solutions for data centres. On the whole, the market situation was stable in the expansion of fiber-optic networks and the engineering segment, while it remained weak in building and installation. The market situation was also positive for the units operating in wind power and traffic safety.

Net sales during the period increased by 4 percent to SEK 2,783 million (2,664) and EBITA increased by 10 percent to SEK 590 million (539).

Market

On the whole, the business situation for the Industrial Solutions business area was favourable in the third quarter. Sales were favourable, with acquisitions contributing to the positive trend. The market situation remained weak for the companies exposed to the forestry and sawmill industry, as well as for companies within special vehicles. The market situation of the companies operating in the engineering sector was weak, while it was favourable in waste and recycling. The business area was affected positively by an unrealised exchange rate gain of about SEK 2 million over the quarter.

PROCESS TECHNOLOGY

Net sales in Process Technology increased in the third quarter by 6 percent to SEK 930 million (878) and EBITA increased by 3 percent to SEK 122 million (119). Net sales during the period increased by 11 percent to SEK 2,846 million (2,565) and EBITA increased by 13 percent to SEK 400 million (355).

Market

On the whole, the Process Technology business area experienced a stable market position in the third quarter, although with variations between market segments. Sales were negatively affected by a weak business situation for the companies operating in aftermarket and services for the forest industry and by the effects of customers' postponed investment decisions on projects. On the whole, demand was stable in medical technology, the engineering segment and the process industry and favourable in the marine segment, while it was weak in the energy, forest and special vehicles segments. The margin was negatively affected by a weaker product mix.

* Refers to assessed condition at the time of acquisition on a full-year basis.

If all acquisitions which have taken effect during the period had been completed on 1 April 2024, their impact would have been an estimated SEK 1,050 million on Group net sales, about SEK 130 million on operating profit and about SEK 95 million on profit after tax for the period.

Addtech normally employs an acquisition structure comprising basic purchase consideration and contingent consideration. The outcome of contingent purchase considerations is determined by the future earnings reached by the companies and is subject to a fixed maximum level. Of considerations not yet paid for acquisitions during the period, the discounted value amounts to SEK 216 million. The contingent purchase considerations fall due for payment within three years and the outcome is subject to a maximum of SEK 255 million.

Transaction costs for acquisitions that resulted in an ownership transfer during the period amounted to SEK 20 million (25) and are reported under Selling expenses.

Revaluation of contingent consideration had a negative net effect of SEK 8 million (5) during the period. The impact on profits is reported under Other operating income and Other operating expenses, respectively.

According to the preliminary acquisitions analyses, the assets and liabilities included in the acquisitions were as follows, during the period:

Fair value
SEKm 31 Dec 2024 31 Dec 2023
Intangible non-current assets 764 644
Other non-current assets 93 125

1) Goodwill is justified by expected future sales trend and profitability as well as the personnel included in the acquired companies.2) Non-controlling interests have been measured at fair value, which entails that goodwill is also reported for non-controlling interests.

3) The consideration is stated excluding transaction costs for the acquisitions.

Parent Company

Parent Company's net sales during the period amounted to SEK 83 million (71) and profit after financial items was SEK 29 million (-4). Net investments in non-current assets were SEK 0 million (0). The Parent Company's financial net debt was SEK 82 million (142) at the end of the period.

OTHER DISCLOSURES

Accounting policies

The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU, with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting being applied. Apart from in the financial statements and their accompanying notes, disclosures in accordance with IAS 34.16A also appear in other parts of the interim report. The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and the Securities Market Act, which is in accordance with the provisions of RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.

In the interim report, the same accounting principles and bases of calculation have been applied as in the most recent annual report. There are no new IFRS or IFRIC pronouncements endorsed by the EU that are applicable for Addtech or that have a significant impact on the Group's result of operations and position in 2024/2025.

Alternative performance measures

The Company presents certain financial measures in the interim report that are not defined according to IFRS. The Company believes that these measures provide valuable supplemental information to investors and the Company's management as they allow for evaluation of trends and the Company's performance. Since all companies do not calculate financial measures in the same way, they are not always comparable to measures used by other companies. These financial measures should therefore not be considered to be a replacement for measurements as defined under IFRS. For definitions and reconciliation tables of the performance measures that Addtech uses, please see page 18-21.

Risks and factors of uncertainty

Addtech's profit and financial position, as well as its strategic position, are affected by a number of internal factors under Addtech's control and by a number of external factors over which Addtech has limited influence. The risk factors of greatest significance to Addtech are the economic situation, or other events affecting the economy, such as the geopolitical situation, in combination with structural changes and the competitive situation.

Please see section Risks and uncertainties (page 58-61) in the annual report for 2023/2024 for further details.

The Parent Company is indirectly affected by the above risks and uncertainty factors due to its role in the organisation.

Transactions with related parties

No transactions between Addtech and related parties that have significantly affected the Group's or the parent company's position and its earnings have taken place during the period.

Seasonal effects

Addtech's sales of high-tech products and solutions in the manufacturing industry and infrastructure are not subject to major seasonal variations. The number of production days and customers' demand and willingness to invest can vary over the quarters.

Nomination committee

The 2024 Annual General Meeting authorised the Board Chairman to establish a nomination committee for upcoming elections to the Board, by appointing members among representatives of the five shareholders who controlled the largest number of votes in the Company at 31 December 2024, to serve on the nomination committee. In accordance with the above, the committee comprises these appointed members: Fredrik Börjesson (appointed by Tisenhult Invest AB), Henrik Hedelius (appointed by Tom Hedelius), Marianne Nilsson (appointed by Swedbank Robur Fonder), Leif Almhorn (appointed by SEB Investment Management) and Per Trygg (appointed by Lannebo Fonder).

The fair value and carrying amount are recognised in the balance sheet as shown in the table above. For quoted securities, the fair value is determined on the basis of the asset's quoted price in an active market, level 1.

As of the reporting date the Group had no items in this category.

For currency contracts and embedded derivatives, the fair value is determined on the basis of observable market data, level 2. For contingent considerations, a cash-flow-based valuation is performed, which is not based on observable market data, level 3. For the Group's other financial assets and liabilities, fair value is estimated to be the same as the carrying amount.
