Order intake was the highest since the fourth quarter of 2022. It is a positive sign that all regions posted increased order intake.

2024 was a year with challenging market conditions. Sales were constrained by weakened demand in the Nordic region, while Europe reported growth despite an uncertain market and a decline in excavator sales. We summarize the full year 2024 with net sales of SEK 1,649 million (1,898), operating profit of SEK 295 million (376) and an operating margin of 18 per cent (20), which is a stable profitability level given the current conditions.
Net sales in the quarter amounted to SEK 393 million (308), an increase of 27 per cent compared with the low levels of the preceding year. The gross margin was a stable 43 per cent (40) and increased primarily as a result of higher net sales. Combined, this raised operating profit by 231 per cent to SEK 63 million (19) and the operating margin to 16 per cent (6). The order intake was the highest since the fourth quarter 2022, amounting to SEK 506 million (414), an organic increase of 22 per cent. It is a positive sign that all regions posted increased order intake.
Europe continues to show strong growth with the highest net sales and order intake. However, the Nordic region is the one that accounts for the largest increase in order intake with 34 per cent, which was in part the result of pre-ordering and can be seen as a sign of an increasingly optimistic view of the market situation. In the Americas, order intake increased organically by 17 per cent. Over the past year, we have announced challenges within our U.S. organization. As a result of this, we have decided to make changes to the management structure. engcon's COO will lead operations for the time being. Under his leadership a review of the organization as well as the recruitment of several sales resources will take place. We remain confident in the North American market and are investing to increase sales. We are also choosing to invest further in Asia by strengthening our presence through the establishment of a sales company in Japan. In Japan, there is significant potential for our products given the prevailing labour shortage and the country's considerable need for increased efficiency and productivity in the construction industry.
Market conditions are still largely unpredictable, in part due to the geopolitical situation and potential tariffs in the US. As previously announced, we expect a stable trend with continued growth. We foresee an increase from low levels in the Nordic region and that growth in Europe will continue.
Our focus is and has always been to build trust and close relationships with our end customers. Our innovative products solve problems and create profitability for end customers while taking responsibility for a sustainable future. As a further step of our sustainability efforts, we have joined the world's largest sustainability initiative, the UN Global Compact Initiative. We are proud to join the thousands of other global companies committed to acting for long-term sustainable business practices.
Our approach to 2025 will be to continue to create profitable growth and strengthen our market-leading position with innovation as the foundation of our business. Our third generation tiltrotator model EC319 was launched in 2024, and in 2025 we are set to launch additional models. In 2025, we are also taking the step up to Nasdaq Stockholm Large Cap. This is an important milestone and an additional mark of excellence on the fantastic growth journey we have experienced and still have ahead of us. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to our employees, customers, partners and investors for joining us on this journey. You have all contributed to engcon's success, which would not have been possible without you. I look forward to 2025 and continuing to change the world of digging together with you all.

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.
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 of Appeal. The main hearing in the case was conducted on 18–20 February 2025. The verdict will be announced on 27 March 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.
The average number of full-time employees at the end of the quarter amounted to 379 (393), of whom 24 per cent (23) were women and 76 per cent (77) men.
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.

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.
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.
The fair value of the Group's financial instruments, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
The company holds derivatives that are measured at fair value at level 2 through profit or loss. At 31 December, there was a liability (receivable) amounting to SEK 0 million (10).
The measurement method is discounting of contractual cash flows with interest and currency on the balance sheet date.
No transfers were made between level 1 and level 2 during the current or prior years.
The company is of the opinion that the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of the fair value of all financial instruments.

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

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 31 December, 196 (209) engcon employees were participating in the warrant programme. A total of 1,517,880 warrants were issued, and as of 31 December 2024, 1,097,785 (1,121,785) 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.
The company's principal owners, Ommapo förvaltning AB and Monen Group AB (previously Monen Holding AB), which are also principal owners of Mähler Intressenter AB, had transactions with engcon during the period through Mähler Intressenter AB (the Group). The transactions comprised the purchases of products from engcon totalling SEK 9.6 million (19.3) and sales of products to engcon of SEK 6.0 million (2.1). Ommapo förvaltning AB also has an
indirect ownership of Drivex AB, which has conducted transactions, mainly comprising purchases of products, with engcon amounting to SEK 5.1 million (14.8). In addition to these transactions, Ommapo förvaltning AB delivered services to engcon AB for SEK 1.2 million (1.6). Transactions also exist for lesser amounts. All transactions were conducted at market value and pertain to the year.
