  • Items affecting comparability for the quarter totaled sek -61 m (-55) and pertained to restructuring costs.
  • EBITA, including items affecting comparability, amounted to sek 1,555 m (1,435) for the quarter.

The first quarter of the year developed well and in line with our expectations. Net sales rose 8 percent, resulting in the highest sales for an individual quarter. Organic sales increased 1 percent compared with the preceding year, acquisitions contributed 6 percent, and translation of currency increased sales by 1 percent. EBITA, excluding items affecting comparability, increased 8 percent, corresponding to a margin of 18.2 percent (18.1). Earnings were the highest to date for a single quarter. Cash flow developed well, and the cash conversion ratio for the last twelvemonth period was a solid 90 percent.

Despite the turbulence and increased uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment, all business areas delivered in line with our expectations. Once again, we demonstrated that Trelleborg is a more stable and profitable Group today than a few years ago. We benefit significantly from our operating model and flexible structure, allowing the Group to quickly adjust and offset substantial economic fluctuations.

Organic sales for Trelleborg Industrial Solutions increased a couple of percentage points. Diversified industrials reported a mixed development. Some sub-segments, such as marine solutions and LNG projects, as well as sealing solutions for water infrastructure, reported strong growth. However, sales to other sub-segments remained weak, particularly for seals to the construction industry, which were impacted by the continued soft North American market. The trend for deliveries to automotive manufacturers was subdued in all markets. Despite the mixed performance, the business area achieved its highest operating profit and margin to date for a single quarter.

Trelleborg Medical Solutions noted a satisfactory increase in organic sales during the quarter, while the integration of Baron Group had a substantial positive impact on the business area's profitability. During the period, the European medtech market was the main driver behind the increase in sales, but the life science segment also demonstrated robust growth. However, our North American market for polymer solutions for the medtech segment is still cautious.

Organic sales for Trelleborg Sealing Solutions were unchanged year-on-year. The implementation of acquisitions provided a sales increase of 5 percent. Sales to diversified industrials segments declined in Europe, although the decline was particularly notable in North America. This was mainly due to weaker deliveries to the construction and agricultural machinery industries. Sales in Asia increased in most segments. Deliveries to the automotive industry had a weaker development in all markets. Sales to the aerospace industry demonstrated continued good growth globally. Operating profit was maintained at the same level as in the preceding year, although the margin declined slightly as a result of lower sales volumes and acquisitions with initially lower margins.

Our assessment is that the direct effects of tariffs will have a limited impact on the Group's development. Trelleborg operates a 'local-for-local' production model, which means that most of what we produce in a region is sold within that region. We are well prepared to address the challenges from tariffs through strategic production optimization, regional localization, proactive price management and global flexibility. It is more difficult to estimate the indirect impact, meaning the extent to which our customers will be affected.

The current weakening of established trade relations is creating greater uncertainty than we have seen for some time. The ground rules are changing almost every week, and this makes it difficult to give a reliable outlook. Order intake for the quarter was higher than for the preceding period, which would normally indicate that demand for our solutions is steadily improving. However, the high level of uncertainty means our general assessment is that demand in the second quarter will be on a par with the first quarter.

Peter Nilsson, President and CEO

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions BUSINESS AREA

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions is a leading global supplier of polymer-based critical sealing solutions and components deployed in aerospace, automotive and diversified industrials

Organic sales were unchanged year-on-year. Acquisitions provided a sales increase of 5 percent. Sales to the Industrials segment declined in Europe, although the decline was particularly notable in North America. This was mainly due to weaker deliveries to the construction and agricultural machinery industries. Sales in Asia showed stable growth. Deliveries to the automotive industry had a weaker development in all markets. Sales to the aerospace industry demonstrated continued good growth globally.

EBITA was essentially unchanged while the EBITA margin decreased year-on-year. The lower margin was in part the result of lower volumes, but was also impacted by acquisitions with initially lower margins. Adjustments to the cost structure are continuing as a response to the lower levels of demand in certain market segments. Exchange rate effects from the translation of foreign subsidiaries were unchanged compared to the preceding year.

Risks and uncertainties

Trelleborg serves a broad range of customers in a variety of industries and niches. The business has a wide geographic spread. The Group has operations in around 40 countries, sales are conducted in just over 140 countries worldwide and manufacturing operations are carried out at approximately 100 production units. The business is diversified geographically and within a number of industries, which provides Trelleborg with an effective underlying risk spread.

Demand for the Group's products and solutions largely moves in line with fluctuations in global industrial production. The Group focuses on industries and geographies with good growth that can deliver consistent results even when negative economic fluctuations occur in individual industries.

Long-term risks

Trelleborg has identified the relevant areas based on strategic risks, operational risks, regulatory compliance risks, and financial risks that may result in damage or loss with substantial impact on the entire Group and, therefore, justify management of the risk exposure at Group level.

For information regarding the Group's risks, risk exposure and risk management, refer to the latest Trelleborg Annual Report, www.trelleborg.com.

Short-term risks

The recently imposed tariffs from the US and the tariffs in response from other countries have a limited direct impact on Trelleborg since its business model is built on regional production for a regional market. Our global presence also facilitates shifts in production to avoid tariffs. The starting point is to offset cost increases, owing to tariffs that cannot be avoided, with price increases. However, indirect impacts of these tariffs such as disruptions in the supply chain and increased costs of raw materials could negatively affect the business. Even the uncertainty that these tariffs are creating could impact global economic activity.

Measurement techniques used to calculate fair value of level 2

Level 2 derivatives comprise currency futures and interest swaps and are primarily used for hedging purposes, but also for trading. Measurement of the fair value of currency futures is based on the published forward rates in an active market and on the discounted contractual cash flows. Measurement of interest swaps is based on forward interest rates prepared on the basis of observable Swedish interest curves and discounting of the contractual cash flows.

Measurement techniques used to calculate fair value of level 3

Interest-bearing non-current liabilities include additional purchase payments according to contract of sek 1,127 m (-), which have been calculated at present value with interest rates based on the market interest rate for the liabilities related to the acquisitions.

Disclosure on fair value of borrowings and other financial instruments

Financial interest-bearing liabilities, except for financial derivatives that adjust loans, are recognized at amortized cost. Changes in interest-rate levels and credit margins create differences between fair value and amortized cost. Measurement at fair value would decrease the Group's non-current loans by sek 6 m. No remeasurement was made for current loans because the carrying amount is regarded as a good estimate of the fair value due to their short term.

Trelleborg employs a number of alternative performance measures related to financial position, including return on equity and capital employed, net debt, debt/equity ratio and equity/assets ratio. The Group deems the key figures useful for the readers of its financial reports as a complement for assessing the possibility of dividends, implementing strategic investments and considering the Group's ability to meet its financial commitments. In addition, Trelleborg uses the cash-flow measurements of operating cash flow and free cash flow to provide an indication of the funds the operations

generate to be able to implement strategic investments, make amortizations and pay returns to the shareholders. Trelleborg uses the operational performance metrics of EBITDA, EBITA and EBIT excluding items affecting comparability, which the Group considers to be relevant for investors seeking to understand its earnings generation before items affecting comparability.

About Trelleborg

The Trelleborg Group is a world leader in engineered polymer solutions. The Group had sales of approximately sek 34 billion in 2024 and operations in some 40 countries.

With Trelleborg's material expertise and industry insight in cutting-edge areas with rigorous requirements, such as the aerospace and automotive industries, as well as healthcare & medical, the Group is creating the sustainable industrial solutions of today, shaped by such trends as electrification, digitalization, industrial automation, and new sustainable materials. The Group's polymerbased solutions are often critical to the functionality of the customers' advanced end products.

Engineered solutions

The engineered solutions are based on unique sealing and damping properties of polymers such as rubber and plastic. The solutions save energy and reduce CO2 emissions, eliminate noise and vibrations, and dramatically extend the lifecycles of machines and medical devices as well as skyscraper facades.

Better platform than ever

Trelleborg's way of achieving results – a strongly decentralized organization built on local responsibility and personal dedication – form the basis of the Group's model for profitability and business success. Despite the turbulence in its operating environment, Trelleborg delivered a strong financial performance in recent years. Trelleborg's financial capacity is healthy.

Accelerated growth

A number of industries have been identified as growing more than the industrial average in the years ahead – Trelleborg is therefore placing additional focus on developing its business in these segments.

The fast-growing industries will act as a driving force for other areas at Trelleborg, which through

innovations, differentiation and greater global reach is expected to grow in the upper range of the industrial average.

There will be a greater focus on company acquisitions that strengthen Trelleborg in attractive industries.

Sustainability leader in the industry

Trelleborg is working systematically to increase the share of bio-based and recycled raw materials in everything it develops. The ambition is to be the sustainability leader in the industry. The Group's climate target is to halve direct and indirect CO2 emissions by the end of 2030 compared with the base year 2021, and, during the same period, reduce emissions along the value chain by 25 percent. Trelleborg's climate targets were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in the fourth quarter of 2023. Resource efficiency and circularity are becoming part of Trelleborg's DNA.

Bespoke strategy for each business

A common feature shared by all parts of Trelleborg is its engineered polymers with unique sealing and damping properties. The longstanding customer relationships are all built on close innovation collaboration with renowned industrial players.

Trelleborg's operational businesses are different, so they have bespoke strategies to achieve leading positions in their markets.

An improved Trelleborg

The technological development and climate transition in society favor the Group, where Trelleborg is playing a part and developing the industrial solutions of tomorrow.

The Group raised both its financial and sustainability targets in conjunction with its Capital Markets Day held in May 2023.
