HEXPOL is a world-leading polymers group with strong global positions in advanced polymer compounds (Compounding), gaskets for plate heat exchangers (Gaskets and Seals), and wheels made of polymer materials for truck and castor wheel applications (Wheels). Customers are primarily system suppliers to the global automotive and engineering industry, building and construction industry and within sectors as transportation, energy, consumer and cable industry and manufacturers of medical equipment, plate heat exchangers and forklifts. The Group is organized in two business areas, HEXPOL Compounding and HEXPOL Engineered Products. The HEXPOL Group's sales in 2024 amounted to 20,437 MSEK and the Group has approximately 5,000 employees in fourteen countries.

We delivered a stable first quarter with a turnover in line with the same quarter previous year, despite a great deal of uncertainty in the world around us. As expected, during the quarter, we saw the increased demand after the seasonally weak fourth quarter of 2024. In total the first quarter 2025 showed sales of 5,381 MSEK (5,312) with EBIT of 839 MSEK (905) and an EBIT-margin of 15.6 percent (17.0).
From an end customer perspective, the automotive industry showed continued weak demand. This is offset by increased demand from customers within building and construction, general industry and not least the growing segment, cable compounds. Raw material prices as well as sales prices were sequentially stable. The slightly lower margin is mainly explained by the product mix.
During the quarter we communicated the acquisition of 80 percent of Turkey's largest independent cable compounder, Kabkom Kimya Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Sirketi. With the exception of the recently acquired Piedmont, the companies acquired in recent years are now well integrated in the HEXPOL group both geographically and organizationally and their plans have been delivered. We work focused on the acquisition strategy and see the environment for acquisitions as positive.
As part of a strategic overview, work is underway to review the conditions for organic growth in our various markets. During the quarter, we implemented a change within HEXPOL Compounding by creating a product area that focuses on the growth segments TP and TPE. Another change is that High Performance Compounds will be integrated with the closely related Advanced Rubber Compounding. Thereby creating a focused organization with better utilization of synergies. We also continuously work to improve our efficiency. We plan to hold a capital markets day in Stockholm in early November where we will explain in more detail our plans and goals.
The group's work with sustainability is a high priority and we see continuous progress. We are well on our way to achieving the Group's goal of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 75 percent by the end of 2025. The sustainability strategy includes also a significant shift towards an increased share of recycled materials. The interest in recycled products continues to be high, not least in the automotive industry where we have many ongoing projects.
The great uncertainty in the world continues with geopolitical unrest and, not least, trade barriers in the form of tariffs initiated by the US administration. We have a strong local presence in both the US and Europe with very little exports between the regions. We did not see a direct impact from the tariffs in the first quarter. There are, however, activities ongoing to handle the tariffs going forward and we expect the impact on margins to be limited. At the same time, the tariffs can have an indirect impact if they affect end customer demand. However, HEXPOL has a strong market position and a well-proven business model that together with a strong customer focus and geographical closeness to our customers gives us good conditions to deal with the uncertainty in the world.

Klas Dahlberg President and CEO

The HEXPOL Group's sales amounted to 5,381 MSEK (5,312) during the first quarter of 2025, an increase of 1 percent compared with the corresponding quarter previous year. The sales were positively affected by currency effects of 64 MSEK. In addition to the positive currency effects, sales were positively affected by acquisitions (Piedmont) with 3 percent.

During the first quarter we saw a continued weak demand from automotiverelated customers compared to the corresponding quarter of 2024. However, this decline is offset by increased demand from customers within building and constructions, general industry and the growing segment, cable compound.
Sales- and raw material prices are essentially stable, both in relation to the corresponding quarter of the previous year and sequentially.

The Group had the following major credit agreements with Nordic banks as per March 31:
The Group use commercial papers as part of the company's financing and as of March 31 they amounted to 3,363 MSEK (2,070). In accordance with IAS1, outstanding volumes are reported in the balance sheet as current liabilities, but since HEXPOL's bilateral credit agreements also function as back-up facilities for outstanding commercial papers, they are of a non-current nature.
The operating cash flow for the Group amounted to 188 MSEK (112) in the quarter and cash flow from operating activities amounted to 162 MSEK (167). The cash flow is normally lowest in the first quarter, mainly affected by low accounts receivable at the beginning of the new year. No underlying conditions have changed.
