Sectra's enterprise imaging module for radiology is ranked number one by users around the world. We also have the most satisfied customers in digital pathology. Our commitment to customer satisfaction is the foundation of our success in all operating areas. The operating profit trend for the Group is positive despite the ongoing transition to service sales. A settlement was also reached in the third quarter regarding Sectra's patented technology for secure communication, which had a positive non-recurring effect on the Group's financial outcomes.

1 Before and after dilution

Sectra's radiology system once again received a top ranking in customer satisfaction in most of the countries where we operate. In the US Large PACS category, we had the most satisfied customers for the twelfth consecutive year. In 2024, we also topped the digital pathology category, which is currently only measured in Europe. Customer satisfaction is about much more than the products and services we offer—not least, it is about our corporate culture. We all realize how essential effective IT support is for the important work our customers do for patients and society. This insight inspires us to care a little more. Our consistent top ranking in customer satisfaction, even during our comprehensive transition to delivering medical diagnostic imaging as a service via the cloud, is proof of the strength of Sectra's culture. Satisfied customers and good cost control lead to a positive long-term performance.

Torbjörn Kronander, President and CEO
Our major business areas, Imaging IT Solutions and Secure Communications, both reported positive financial developments. Especially Secure Communications continued to deliver a strong performance, and the business area is now the fastest-growing part of Sectra. Earnings for the most recent quarter also include a large positive non-recurring effect from a patent settlement for secure communications, which reinforces the importance of protecting our technology.
Our success in medicine continues in North America. According to studies from the analysis company KLAS Research, Sectra was the most chosen enterprise imaging (PACS) vendor by US healthcare providers in the past two years. Sectra was considered as a choice in half of the approximately 80 PACS procurements that KLAS has reviewed. Out of these, we were chosen as a supplier in approximately half—in other words, we are currently winning more than 25% of all procurements.1 This is significantly more than any other supplier. The US and Canada are also the countries where we have made the most progress when it comes to the ongoing transition to cloud-based services—nearly all our new sales in the US and Canada are currently cloud-based SaaS deliveries. The transition to service sales has dampened our growth for several years now, but we expect to see the positive effects outweigh the negative ones within one to two years. We are also seeing this change in other markets, although not as strongly as in North America.
The transition that we and our customers are now going through is a difficult but positive one. We have many deployments of cloudbased services ongoing. As we transition from selling licenses to services, it is important to remember that the change to the business model will lead to a delay in revenue and earnings, while costs continue to be incurred at the beginning of projects. Revenue comes later than in the license model, but continues for much longer. With the very large projects we are carrying out, these negative effects will continue into the next fiscal year, putting pressure on our operating margin and sales before our new major customers start using our services in the volumes planned. While the change is having a short-term dampening effect on our financial performance, it will be highly beneficial in the long term—for us and for our customers.
The extensive investments we are making in innovations and business development are creating value for our customers and building a stronger Sectra for the future. Healthcare and data security are both areas that are expected to grow for a long time to come, and that are relatively unaffected by the economic climate. With satisfied, and therefore loyal, customers combined with a strong brand in growing markets, we have every reason to remain optimistic about the future.

Sectra's nine-month interim report 2024/2025 3 (30)

Sectra is ranked #1 in customer satisfaction by users around the world. This is confirmed by the eight Best in KLAS awards that the radiology (Sectra PACS) and pathology modules in our enterprise imaging solution won for customer satisfaction. This marks the twelfth consecutive year that Sectra PACS has ranked highest in customer satisfaction in the US, the sixth consecutive year in Canada and the second in the categories introduced in 2024: Northern Europe and Southern Europe. Sectra also won for the first time in Middle East/Africa and in DACH (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) as well as in the Pathology Solution Global category, which, to start, is only being awarded in Europe. The American digital pathology markets are still too small to provide reasonable statistical significance. These prestigious distinctions are handed out by the US analysis company KLAS Research, which conducts annual customer satisfaction surveys for healthcare IT systems.
"With Sectra PACS, there was an immediate improvement in our return on investment and efficiency. We even improved things like the amount of time it takes to process the studies from the hardware vendors. There are so many little things. Sectra has a great dashboard to show how things have improved. Sectra PACS is a quantum leap above other PACS products, and everyone else needs to catch up."
Comment to KLAS Research in March 2024 about Sectra's radiology module.
"For fixes, the way Sectra set us up is they have customer success management. It is like a pod, so we have an account executive and a customer success manager. They have no more than a handful of different accounts per pod, and they have engineers in each pod, so when we call and have a problem, we get that engineer who knows us. They are one of our team members, so we don't have to reexplain why our PACS is set up this way or why we have this."
Comment to KLAS Research in December 2024 about the new way of working in Sectra's support organization.
"Sectra PACS is part of our long-term plans. It has been working very well so far. We have not only deunified radiology but also decommissioned another product for mammography and brought that on to Sectra PACS. And everyone has been happy with that standardization process. Sectra has been a very good partner with us in terms of working with the technology and mapping everything else. So there is no reason for us to move away from Sectra. I love Sectra PACS. The radiologists and everyone love it a lot. They wanted me to get a research instance. Now, they want me to get another instance. The ease of use is perfect."
Comment to KLAS Research in December 2024 about long-term plans and standardized processes.

Sectra's overall operational target is to create significant value for its customers. Customers should be so satisfied with their experience that they remain for a long time, expand their use of our solutions and recommend Sectra to others. Delivering customer value is also the Group's most important sustainability target since our customers' work to treat patients and increase cybersecurity is essential for functioning societies.
Customer satisfaction requires satisfied and dedicated employees. Employees who are motivated, understand their customers, feel good and are satisfied in their jobs will also increasingly develop new, creative solutions that can further increase the value we provide for Sectra's customers. Operating in markets that are growing, combined with satisfied customers and employees, provides a long-term sound financial performance.
Sectra has three Group-wide financial goals. Stability and profitability are considered fundamental goals. Once these goals have been met, the focus shifts to earnings growth per share, which in practice is our primary financial goal. All result indicators currently exceed the target levels by a comfortable margin despite the effects of changes in the business model. The financial goals are (in order of priority):


High level of customer satisfaction High level of quality and product safety
Dedicated employees who are satisfied, feel good, improve as individuals and do their best to meet or exceed customer expectations

The University of Hartford in the US chose to use Sectra's service for medical education in order to elevate the educational experience for their radiographer students.

Sectra plays a key role in meeting the need for medical imaging IT and cybersecurity. We help solve major social problems in changing markets, where scope for expansion remains. The global trends of an aging population and increased digitization mean that these markets are expected to continue to grow regardless of the economic climate.
Our customers operate in some of society's most critical functions, which means that it is important that Sectra's brand is associated with reliability, trustworthiness and stability. Our job is to help customers become more efficient and give them the tools needed to make people's lives healthier, safer and more secure. In line with Sectra's vision, this is how the company creates value for its customers, shareholders and society as a whole.
Aging populations, combined with a decline in the proportion of people of working age, are leading to a shortage of resources and a growing workload in healthcare. In order to maintain high quality of care with fewer people taking care of more patients, healthcare must become more efficient. The growing population of senior citizens is also shining a spotlight on diseases affecting the elderly. Health problems affecting the elderly primarily include cancer diseases and problems with the cardiovascular, nervous, and skeletal systems as well as vision and hearing. All of these areas, which are among the most costly and resource-intensive areas in healthcare, are dependent on medical diagnostic imaging.
Healthcare providers across the globe use Sectra's expertise and solutions in medical imaging IT not only to increase productivity and coordinate their resources but also to improve efficiency in orthopaedic surgery through better planning and follow-up. Sectra also helps to raise the quality of medical education by providing solutions where the user can interact with medical images and share educational materials. IT support for genomics is yet another area that Sectra is entering through partnerships with customers in the US and Sweden. The market for genomics is growing as a result of the rapid increase in the number of clinical DNA sequencings carried out during diagnostics, and needs to be managed efficiently. We also have synergies among our operating areas. Healthcare is increasingly becoming a target for cybercrime, resulting in, for example, the authorities in the US issuing a particular warning to healthcare providers. Sectra's experience and brand when it comes to security gives us advantages in the field of medicine as well.
We enable our customers to take care of more patients and save more lives at a long-term sustainable cost. This work is carried out in our Imaging IT Solutions and Business Innovation operating areas.
The ability to safely and efficiently handle and transmit sensitive information is central to the stability and security of society, particularly when it comes to critical social functions and critical infrastructure. As digitization increases, the players in these areas have a major need for products and services that increase cybersecurity. Sectra has extensive experience of protecting society's most critical communications and securing society's critical infrastructure against cyberattacks. We are a strong brand in the niche markets of encryption and secure mobile communications. IT developments in society, political instability in the world, and the growth of cybercrime are creating a greater need for Sectra's expertise and product offerings.
We help customers to provide increased security, thereby contributing to a more stable and safer society. This work is carried out in the Secure Communications operating area. The activities conducted in the operating area are part of Sweden's collective national capability within crypto—a strategic materiel area identified by government authorities as an essential security interest for which national availability, skills and capacity need to be secured over time.
Contracted order bookings for the period rose 9.0% to SEK 5,805.7 million (5,326.5), of which SEK 967.6 million (1,853.6) pertained to the third quarter. A total of SEK 5,270.9 million (2,457.0) was guaranteed order bookings, of which SEK 710.8 million (1,652.5) pertained to the third quarter. The ratio of contracted order bookings to net sales for the latest rolling 12-month period totaled 2.1, compared with 2.1 at the end of the previous fiscal year.
Order bookings include comprehensive, long-term customer contracts. During the comparative quarter, a comprehensive ten-year agreement was signed with NHS National Services Scotland (NSS). During the second quarter of the current fiscal year, a contract was signed with the healthcare provider MSSS Québec in Canada with a contracted order value of SEK 3.1 billion. Orders of this size are not secured every quarter and lead to significant variations in order bookings between individual quarters and periods.
Contracted order bookings, SEK million

The Group's net sales rose 12.6% to SEK 2,325.7 million (2,065.5), of which SEK 848.4 million (694.0) pertained to the third quarter. Based on unadjusted exchange rates, consolidated sales increased 12.5% compared with the nine-month period in the previous fiscal year.
The ongoing transition to selling products and software as services, of which cloud deliveries account for a quickly growing share, contributed to an increase in recurring revenue. SEK 1,492.8 million (1,261.5) of sales pertained to recurring revenue, of which SEK 525.8 million (434.7) pertained to the third quarter. This represents an increase of 18.3% compared with the nine-month period in the previous fiscal year and an increase of 18.1% based on unchanged exchange rates. Lost recurring revenue (recurring revenue churn) for the last 12-month period was 0.6%. CRR for the nine-month period rose 43.8% to SEK 407.0 million (283.1), of which SEK 162.8 million (103.2) pertained to the third quarter. Non-recurring revenue rose 3.6% to SEK 832.9 million (804.0), of which SEK 322.6 million (259.3) pertained to the third quarter.
All geographic markets contributed to the Group's sales growth. The operations in Sweden reported the single largest sale increase over the comparative period, primarily due to the positive trend for the Secure Communications operating area. More than 70% of the Group's sales are carried out in foreign currency, primarily EUR, GBP and USD, which entails a relatively large sensitivity to currency fluctuations.

The Group's operating profit amounted to SEK 524.1 million, of which SEK 314.7 million pertained to the third quarter. The outcome includes SEK 110.0 million for the effects of a patent settlement. In terms of comparable outcomes—that is, excluding the patent settlement—operating profit for the period increased by 29.2 percent to SEK 414.1 million (320.4), of which SEK 204.7 million (74.4) relates to the third quarter. Based on unadjusted exchange rates, the increase from the nine-month period in the previous fiscal year was 28.7%. In terms of comparable outcomes, the Group's operating margin was 17.8% (15.5) for the nine-month period. Secure Communications and Imaging IT Solutions reported increased operating profit, while the outcome for Business Innovation was impacted by the ongoing transformation to a new business model.
The Group's financial items amounted to SEK 20.2 million (20.3), of which SEK 17.8 million (-1.5) pertained to the third quarter. Currency fluctuations had an impact of SEK 0.1 million (-2.0) on financial items. Sectra does not hedge its operations, and currency fluctuations therefore have an immediate impact on profit or loss or on comprehensive income.
Profit after financial items amounted to SEK 544.3 million (340.7), of which SEK 332.5 million (72.9) pertained to the third quarter. This outcome corresponds to a profit margin of 23.4% (16.5) for the nine-month period and 39.2% (10.5) for the third quarter. Earnings per share before and after dilution totaled SEK 2.24 (1.40) for the period, of which SEK 1.37 (0.30) pertained to the third quarter.

Operating profit trend per operating area, SEK million

The Group's cash and cash equivalents at the end of the reporting period amounted to SEK 1,160.7 million (688.8).
The Group's debt/equity ratio was 0.05 (0.02) as of the balance-sheet date. Interest-bearing lease liabilities amounted to SEK 88.5 million (24.3). The change was due to the fact that several new leases were signed during the period as a result of Sectra's growth.
Cash flow from operations amounted to SEK 700.0 million (192.6) for the period, of which SEK 580.7 million (233.2) was attributable to the third quarter. The changes were mainly due to an increase in advances from customers and the patent settlement. Cash flow per share amounted to SEK 3.63 (1.00), of which SEK 3.01 (1.21) pertained to the third quarter.
Quarterly cash flow from operations for the Group, SEK million

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -112.3 million (-107.3), of which SEK -42.0 million (-30.8) was attributable to the third quarter. Refer to the additional information about investments below.
The Group's total cash flow for the period amounted to SEK 359.6 million (-136.9). This result includes a transfer of SEK 211.9 million (211.9) to the shareholders through Sectra's 2024 share redemption program.
Investments amounted to SEK 112.3 million (227.3), of which SEK 42.0 million (30.8) pertained to the third quarter. The outcome for the comparative period includes SEK 144.6 million for the acquisition of two properties. Capitalized work for own use amounted to SEK 55.2 million (55.2), of which SEK 22.9 million (19.3) pertained to the third quarter. Capitalization includes the development of cloud-based services for medical diagnostics.
Total depreciation and amortization for the period was SEK 82.7 million (72.9), of which the third quarter accounted for SEK 29.3 million (24.7). Of the total depreciation/amortization for the period, SEK 34.7 million (28.9) was attributable to capitalized development expenditures, of which SEK 12.3 million (10.4) pertained to the third quarter. At the end of the period, capitalized development expenditures totaled SEK 224.2 million (197.6).
Sectra has historically experienced major seasonal variations, since individual projects can be very large relative to Sectra's sales. This applies for both medical systems and encryption systems. The beginning of the fiscal year is usually weaker since few customers want to deploy new systems during the summer. The variations in order volumes between individual quarters are significant since certain contracts are very large and have long terms.
As Sectra transitions to selling products as a service, this variation is expected to gradually decrease over the next several years since revenue will be spread more evenly over time. On the other hand, individual orders are sometimes very large, leading instead to a larger variation in order bookings than before. Bearing this in mind, it remains important to look more at long-term trends rather than at the outcome for an individual quarter when assessing Sectra's performance.
For further information about Sectra's seasonal patterns, refer to page 70 in Sectra's Annual and Sustainability Report for the 2023/2024 fiscal year.

Order bookings for Imaging IT Solutions in the nine-month period surpassed previous record levels thanks to Sectra's largest and most extensive customer contract to date—MSSS Québec in Canada, signed during the second quarter. This is just one of several major orders from customers who have chosen to use Sectra One Cloud in the last few years, including contracts with one of the largest healthcare providers in the US and with the public healthcare provider in Scotland. Additional customers chose Sectra One Cloud after the balancesheet date, including a prestigious cancer center, and a healthcare system network in the US.
The implementation of services and infrastructure at new major customers initially entails increased costs. Work to prepare for deliveries to customers is ongoing and none of the major customers mentioned above are yet in full production. Revenue is growing gradually as customers put the systems into operation, but it could take several years for major customers to become fully operational and reach planned volumes.
The share of recurring revenue amounts to nearly 70% of sales, primarily due to customers' increased use of Sectra's services for medical imaging. The large share of recurring revenue has promoted stability during the ongoing transformation to service sales and cloud solutions. The accelerating transition to cloud services is clear from Sectra's growth in cloud recurring revenue. The markets in the US and Canada are where Sectra has made the most progress in the transition to the new business model, with all new customer sales now taking place as cloud-based services. Additionally, all existing customers in Canada have now chosen to use Sectra One.
Growth in recurring revenue, combined with higher non-recurring revenue from license sales in the third quarter, led to a stronger financial outcome than in the comparative quarter. However, non-recurring revenue for the nine-month period was lower than in the comparative period, primarily due to new customers purchasing services instead of traditional software licenses.
Profitability continued to be impacted by ongoing initiatives, the most extensive of which was the transition to becoming a service provider. While the change in the business model had dampening effects on financial outcomes, this was partially offset by the strong underlying growth in Sectra's operations, in combination with the fact that not all transactions pertain to services yet. The transition to selling cloud services means that a growing share of revenue and earnings are reported over time and therefore arise later than with traditional license sales. The transition will be favorable over the long term, especially because customers are satisfied and stay with us for a long time.

Business Innovation comprises the Genomics IT, Medical Education and Orthopaedics business units. We also report the expenses for medical research activities in Business Innovation, which includes initiatives in the field of AI for medical applications. Sectra's research activities linked to secure communications are organized and reported in the Secure Communications operating area.
Recurring revenue grew compared with the nine-month period in the previous fiscal year, but did not fully compensate for lower non-recurring revenue than in the comparative period. Recurring revenue primarily increased in the medical education business unit. Meanwhile, sales of hardware related to medical education decreased. However, the results may vary significantly between quarters and periods. Subscription-based business models and growing volumes are expected to reduce quarterly variations over the longer term.

Cloud recurring revenue +13% over the comparative period

Sectra offers orthopaedic and radiology services for image-based planning and follow-up in orthopaedics. These services are provided as part of Sectra's enterprise imaging solution, Sectra One. As more customers choose Sectra One, the services are becoming more readily available, and several new customers have chosen to use the orthopaedic services to save time and increase patient value.

Secure Communications is growing quickly and reporting a good performance with increased volumes of product deliveries and development assignments over the comparative period. Operating profit from operations continued to trend in the right direction and made a larger contribution to the Group's overall financial goals than previously. The long-term trend is positive, although outcomes can naturally vary greatly between quarters due to the nature of the operations.
The financial outcomes include a settlement between Sectra and a US company that was reached during the third quarter concerning Sectra's patented technology for secure communication. The settlement had a positive impact of SEK 110 million on operating profit and the transaction has been recognized in its entirety in the quarter. As a part of the settlement, Sectra has granted the counterparty authorization to use a license for a US patent for mobile VPN technology.
There continues to be considerable demand for cybersecurity for the defense forces, authorities and critical infrastructure, and Sectra is well positioned with offerings that meet customers' stringent demands. The uncertain geopolitical situation, with ongoing wars in Europe and further tensions worldwide, continues to highlight the importance of defense capabilities and public security. This, in turn, is placing greater demands on communication and fueling the need for investments in high assurance products, encryption development and cybersecurity.
Sectra's ability to help customers both in Sweden and around Europe led to stable order bookings during the nine-month period. Order bookings include research assignments, customer-financed development and product sales as well as support and service commitments. Customers extended and expanded agreements during the third quarter, both for support of secure communications and for security monitoring of critical infrastructure. Orders received also include the further development and serial deliveries of Tiger/S and network encryptors to existing customers. These include large orders placed by Swedish authorities. During the last quarter, agreements were also signed with three new customers in critical infrastructure for consulting and security monitoring.
The ongoing initiatives being carried out by the operations include technologies and solutions that can further strengthen our customers' operations and the civil and military defense in different countries. These include initiatives to supplement our offering within the highest levels of assurance with products and services for a wider customer base, primarily within government authorities.



Operating profit incl. patent settlement, R12

Research and a strong technological foundation are central to meeting customer needs. One of the areas we are focusing on is network patterns and anonymizing communication. Based on the knowledge gained from research, communication can be made virtually invisible in networks. This prevents traffic analysis of communication metadata, which could otherwise reveal a great deal even if the communication itself is encrypted, such as which communication nodes were used and when as well as the intensity and type.

Other Operations pertain to Sectra's joint functions for administration, recruitment, Group finance, IT, regulatory affairs, people and brand, and activities related to investors. This segment also includes property management. The change from the comparative period mainly pertained to increased central management of costs distributed across the organization.
The Parent Company's income statement and balance sheet are reported on page 19. The Parent Company Sectra AB includes the research department for medical imaging IT, the Genomics IT business unit and the head office's joint functions (see Other Operations above).
The Board has decided to hold the AGM on September 9, 2025 in Linköping. The notice of the AGM is issued not earlier than six weeks and not later than four weeks prior to the AGM. Shareholders are entitled to have a matter addressed by the AGM. To ensure that the company has time to include matters in the notice, requests for matters to be addressed by the AGM must be received by the company not later than seven weeks prior to the AGM.
A Nomination Committee was appointed in accordance with the instructions adopted at the 2020 AGM. If any of the largest shareholders in terms of voting rights waived their right to appoint a member of the Nomination Committee, the next shareholder in order of size was given the opportunity to appoint a member. The Nomination Committee comprises the following members:
The Nomination Committee's proposals will be presented in the notice of the AGM. Shareholders who wish to submit proposals to the Nomination Committee may do so in writing by email: [email protected] or by mail: Sectra AB, Attn. Nomination Committee, Teknikringen 20, SE-583 30 Linköping, Sweden. In order for the Nomination Committee to address a proposal, the proposal must arrive in ample time prior to the notice of the AGM.
Sectra's share capital on the balance-sheet date totaled SEK 39,024,179, distributed between 195,120,895 shares and 313,052,035 voting rights. The number of shares is distributed between 13,103,460 Class A shares and 182,017,435 Class B shares. Sectra's holding of treasury shares at the end of the period amounted to 2,453,406 Class B shares, corresponding to 1.3% of the share capital and 0.8% of the voting rights in the company. For more information, refer to Note 3.
During the third quarter, the Board exercised the authority granted by the 2024 AGM and carried out a directed share issue of 1,000,000 Class C shares at a price corresponding to the quotient value, meaning SEK 0.20 per share and a total of SEK 200,000. The purpose was to secure the obligations for a new performance-based incentive program (LTIP 2024). All Class C shares have been repurchased at a price corresponding to the quotient value. These were then converted to Class B shares.
In accordance with the terms of LTIP 2024, a maximum of 780,000 Class B treasury shares may be allotted to participants in the incentive program. The qualification period expires on April 30, 2029 and performance shares will be allotted by no later than August 31, 2029. In order to finance the costs of social security contributions related to the incentive program, a maximum of 220,000 Class B shares may be transferred on Nasdaq Stockholm, including by way of a financial intermediary, at a price within the price range registered at any given time.
During the second quarter, SEK 1.10 per share was distributed to the shareholders through a share redemption program. For more information and help with Swedish tax returns, visit https://investor.sectra.com/redemption2024.
In addition to the authorization described above, the 2024 AGM resolved to authorize the Board of Directors, during the period until the 2025 AGM, to decide on new share issues of a maximum of 18,500,000 Class B shares and to decide on the acquisition and divestment of the company's treasury shares, with the condition that the Company's holding of treasury shares at no point exceeds 10% of all the shares in the Company. The complete authorization is presented in the minutes from the AGM: https://investor.com/agm2024. At the time of publication of this financial report, the Board had not utilized these authorizations.

The Board of Directors and the President of Sectra AB (publ) hereby assure that the interim report for the May 1, 2024–January 31, 2025 period provides a true and fair view of the Parent Company's and Group's operations, financial position and earnings and describes the significant risks and uncertainties facing the Parent Company and other companies in the Group.

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information for Sectra AB (publ) at January 31, 2025 and for the nine-month period ended on that date. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the interim financial information based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information 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 has a different direction and is substantially more limited in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices.
The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the opinion expressed on the basis of a review does not provide the same level of assurance as an opinion expressed on the basis of an audit.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report has not, in all material aspects, been compiled for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and for the Parent Company, in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
