Interim report January – March 2025

NET ASSET VALUE AND THE LATOUR SHARE

  • The net asset value was SEK 213 per share at the end of the period compared with SEK 215 per share at the start of the year. This is a decrease of 1.2 per cent. By comparison, the Stockholm Stock Exchange's Total Return Index (SIXRX) decreased by 0.2 per cent. The net asset value was SEK 209 per share at 28 April.1
  • The total return on the Latour share was -1.3 per cent compared with the SIXRX, which decreased 0.2 per cent.

INDUSTRIAL OPERATIONS

  • At the start of the year, adjusted operating profit was introduced as a metric in the industrial operations, which is equivalent to the reported operating profit adjusted for acquisition-related amortisations and larger restructuring costs (see page 22 for definition). This metric will more accurately reflect the underlying earnings performance of the industrial operations. See page 5 for the derivation.
  • The industrial operations' order intake increased by 21 per cent to SEK 7,563 m (6,264 m). Adjusted for exchange rate effects, this equates to growth of 10 per cent for comparable entities.
  • The industrial operations' net sales increased by 13 per cent to SEK 6,884 m (6,122 m). Adjusted for exchange rate effects, this equates to growth of 1 per cent for comparable entities.
  • The industrial operations' adjusted operating profit increased by 4 per cent to SEK 899 m (868 m), which equates to an operating margin of 13.1 (14.2) per cent.
  • The acquisitions of the Turkish company Arkel for Innovalift, the German company Howatherm for Swegon and the German company HDS Group for LSAB within Latour Industries were finalised in January. On 7 January, Hultafors Group acquired the Danish company Lyngsøe Rainwear ApS. On 14 February, Swegon acquired the US company American Geothermal.

THE GROUP

  • Consolidated net sales totalled SEK 6,884 m (6,122 m), and profit after financial items was SEK 946 m (2,154 m). The net impact of impairments and reversals of impairments of shares in associates on the income statement in the period was SEK -532 m (583 m).
  • Consolidated profit after tax was SEK 812 m (1,994 m), which is equivalent to SEK 1.25 (3.11) per share.
  • The Group reported net debt of SEK 17,080 m (11,783 m). Net debt, excluding lease liabilities recognised under IFRS 16, was SEK 15,384 m (10,298 m) and is equivalent to 10 (8) per cent of the market value of total assets.

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

  • During the first quarter, the value of the investment portfolio decreased by 2.7 per cent adjusted for changes in the portfolio. The benchmark index (SIXRX) decreased by 0.2 per cent.
  • During the quarter, Latour increased its holding in CTEK by 1,275,000 shares.

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

• On 3 April, Innovalift acquired the UK company Syntium Lifts. More details can be found on page 4.

1 The calculation of the net asset value on 28 April was based on the value of the investment portfolio at 17.30 on 28 April and the same values as on 31 March were used for the unlisted portfolio.

LATOUR AT A GLANCE

Investment AB Latour is a mixed investment company consisting primarily of wholly-owned industrial operations and an investment portfolio of listed holdings in which Latour is the principal owner or one of the principal owners. The investment portfolio consists of ten substantial holdings that had a market value of SEK 86 billion as at 31 March 2025. The wholly-owned industrial operations are grouped into seven business areas: Bemsiq Group, Caljan, Hultafors Group, Innovalift, Latour Industries, Nord-Lock Group and Swegon. They generate annual sales of just over SEK 28 billion (pro forma).

Chief Executive's statement

"Latour's industrial operations are developing positively even in the face of the geopolitical and economic uncertainties. Demand is relatively good, although there are variations across regions and sectors. Positive market signs at the start of this year gave way to a more cautious tone towards the end of the quarter, due the considerable uncertainty surrounding trade war, inflation and interest rates. However, we remain confident that our operations are in a good position to manage the current challenges and, as in the past, we are well prepared for any changes in the demand environment.

The impact of the US tariffs will affect our business areas to different degrees. 11 per cent of the industrial operations' total sales are in the US. Caljan, Hultafors Group, REAC within Latour Industries and Nord-Lock Group have slightly more exposure to the US. We have local production to some extent, but the figures also include exports to the US that will be affected. The tariffs had no material impact on the first quarter financial statements. We will try to pass any additional costs incurred because of tariffs to the customer to the extent possible. If there are situations that cannot be addressed through pricing, we will implement other preventive measures to minimise the impact going forward.

During the first quarter, total order intake grew by 21 per cent and net sales by 13 per cent. Completed acquisitions boosted order intake by 10 per cent and net sales by 11 per cent. By the end of the quarter, the order book had increased to SEK 6,675 m, which ensures a good invoicing trend in the coming quarters. The adjusted operating profit increased to SEK 899 m (868 m) with an operating margin of 13.1 (14.2) per cent. We are maintaining good cost control, but significant fluctuations in exchange rates are adversely affecting the gross margin in some parts of the operations. Cash flow was slightly weak at the beginning of the year, which largely follows normal seasonal patterns but is also a consequence of increased net sales. Cash flow from operating activities reached SEK 436 m (630 m).

We are continuing to make long-term and forward-looking investments in both existing and new businesses. Despite the current economic slowdown, Latour's financial strength allows us to invest in growth opportunities, but always in a prudent and responsible manner. The level of acquisition activity have been high during the first months of the year. We completed five acquisitions during the quarter and another one in early April. These acquisitions add almost SEK 1.6 billion in annual revenue growth. More information about our acquisitions can be found on page 4.

The stock market was characterised by subdued activity in the first quarter. During the quarter, the net asset value of Latour decreased by 1.2 per cent and the value of our portfolio of listed holdings decreased by 2.7 per cent. By comparison, the benchmark index SIXRX has fallen by 0.2 per cent. Most of our listed holdings have reported their first quarter results and the picture is relatively consistent. Given the global situation, the development looks fairly good, and the majority are reporting relatively stable results."

Johan Hjertonsson President and Chief Executive Officer

Industrial operations

Order intake, net sales and earnings

In the first quarter, order intake increased by 21 per cent to SEK 7,563 m (6,264 m), up 10 per cent on an organic basis. Net sales increased by 13 per cent to SEK 6,884 m (6,122 m). Adjusted for exchange rate effects, this equates to growth of 1 per cent for comparable entities. During the quarter, the adjusted operating profit of the wholly-owned industrial operations increased by 4 per cent to SEK 899 m (868 m). The operating margin was 13.1 (14.2) per cent.

The above figures only include subsidiaries of the whollyowned business areas. See the table on page 5.

Acquisitions/disposals

In the first quarter, five acquisitions were made within the wholly-owned industrial operations.

On 7 January, Hultafors Group acquired the entire shareholding of the Danish company Lyngsøe Rainwear ApS. The company is a supplier of high-quality rainwear for professional end users and operates from its head office in Herning, Denmark. The company was founded in 1999 by Bo Lyngsøe, who still manages the business today. Lyngsøe Rainwear has some 25 employees and generates sales of approximately DKK 136 m with profitability above Latour's and Hultafors Group's other operations.

In early January, LSAB, within Latour Industries, completed its acquisition of the entire shareholding of the German company HDS Group GmbH. Established in 1999, HDS Group is a manufacturer of saw blades and knives for the sawmill industry. The company has 64 employees and its head office is in Remscheid, Germany. Sales in 2023 amounted to EUR 9.8 m and the company's past profitability is in line with Latour's financial targets.

In early January, Swegon completed its acquisition of the entire shareholding of the German company Howatherm Klimatechnik GmbH. Established in 1969, Howatherm is a manufacturer of air handling units mainly for the German market, with a smaller subsidiary in Luxembourg for sales within the Benelux region. The company has 170 employees and its head office is in Brücken, Germany. Sales in 2023 amounted to EUR 32 m.

On 23 January, Innovalift completed the acquisition of the entire shareholding of Arkel, a company based in Turkey. Arkel is a leading Turkish manufacturer of components for elevators, for both new installations and the rapidly expanding modernisation market. Founded in 1998, the company manufactures and sells control systems, integrated drive units and a range of related electronic components for elevators. Sales amount to approximately EUR 62 m (pro forma) and its key markets are Turkey, continental Europe and India. Arkel has some 410 employees and its profitability is well in line with Latour's wholly-owned industrial operations.

On 14 February, Swegon acquired the entire shareholding of American Geothermal, a US manufacturer of heating and cooling solutions for both the concrete industry and commercial buildings. American Geothermal was founded in 1981, has 40 employees and its head office is in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Sales in 2024 amounted to USD 14 m. The acquisition strengthens Swegon's presence in the North American market.

Events after the reporting period

On 3 April, Innovalift acquired the entire shareholding of the UK company Syntium Lifts based in Kent. Founded in 2010, Syntium is a leading specialist distributor of lift safety products in the UK, and primarily serves the rapidly growing modernisation market. The company has a turnover in excess of GBP 2 m, exclusively to the UK and Ireland, and a profitability well in line with Latour's wholly-owned industrial operations.

Highlights

  • Strong order intake in the first quarter, driven by a combination of acquisitions and organic growth of 9 per cent.
  • Net sales increased by 19 per cent, driven by acquisitions with flat organic development.
  • In absolute terms, the adjusted operating profit remained on a par with previous year. The lower operating margin was due to exchange rate effects, investments in product development and a number of growth initiatives.
  • The acquisition of the German company Howatherm was completed in January, and the US company American Geothermal was acquired in February. More details can be found on page 4.

The Latour share's net asset value

In order to facilitate the evaluation of Latour's net asset value, Latour provides an estimated range of the value (Enterprise Value) for each business area based on EBIT multiples. The method used to calculate the value of the wholly-owned industrial operations is described in greater detail on the company's website, latour.se.

In some cases, the valuation multiples for comparable companies span a very large range. For this reason, the multiples may be adjusted in order to avoid unreasonable values. The indicative value stated below is not a complete market valuation of Latour's holdings.

During the quarter, the net asset value declined from SEK 215 per share at the start of the year to SEK 213. The net asset value thus decreased by 1.2 per cent, while the SIXRX benchmark index decreased by 0.2 per cent.

Latour's method of valuing the wholly-owned industrial operations is relatively cautious, and the fact that Latour uses backward-looking comparables means that valuations do not always fully follow stock market fluctuations. The stock market's trend during the year is therefore not fully reflected in Latour's net asset value.

For some time, Latour's guideline for the net asset value has been considerably lower than the value that the stock market assigns to Latour's listed share. On 31 March 2025, the share price was SEK 272 and the indicative net asset value was SEK 213. As stated above, Latour does not claim that the valuation of the wholly-owned industrial operations is anything other than an indication. A net asset value can be calculated on a number of different bases. For example, the industrial operations as a whole could be measured against other established listed industrial groups with mixed industrial holdings and a clear growth agenda. The EV/EBIT multiple for these companies is significantly higher.

¹All holdings are reported as associated companies in the balance sheet.

²The last price paid is used as the listed share price.

³Due to the limited trading in class A shares in Sweco, and the fact that the class A shares in ASSA ABLOY and Securitas are unlisted, they have been given the same listed share price as the companies' class B shares. Holdings consisting of both class A and B shares are reported in the table as unit. The cost of the class B shares are SEK 34 m higher than in the parent company through the exercise of call options.

At the end of the report period, the listed share price was NOK 152,30 which has been translated to SEK at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date.

Investment portfolio during 2025

Movements in investment portfolio values (SEK billion). The figures include acquired and divested shares but not dividends. During the period, shares were acquired in CTEK for SEK 18 m.

Results and financial position

The Group

The Group's profit after financial items was SEK 946 m (2,154 m). Profit after tax was SEK 812 m (1,994 m), which is equivalent to SEK 1.25 (3.11) per share. The net impact of impairments and reversals of impairments of shares in associates on the income statement in the period was SEK -532 m (583 m).

The Group's reported cash flow was SEK -921 m (-55 m). The Group's cash in hand and liquid investments reached SEK 1,822 m (2,277 m). Interest-bearing debt, excluding pension liabilities and lease liabilities, totalled SEK 17,114 m (12,039 m). The Group's net debt was SEK 17,080 m (11,783 m). Net debt, excluding lease liabilities, was SEK 15,384 m (10,298 m). The equity ratio was 80 (83) per cent calculated on reported equity in relation to total assets, including undisclosed surpluses in associated companies.

In February, Latour updated the base prospectus for its existing MTN programme and, at the same time, increased the framework amount to SEK 20 billion at the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority. As at 31 March 2025, the MTN programme had an outstanding balance of SEK 12,350 m. Latour has previously issued a Swedish commercial paper programme with a limit of SEK 4,000 m. As at 31 March 2025, SEK 1,000 m was outstanding in commercial papers.

There have been no transactions with related parties that have materially affected the financial position or the performance of the Group.

Investments

During the period, SEK 259 m (124 m) was invested in property, plant and equipment, of which SEK 111 m (71 m) was machinery and equipment and SEK 148 m (53 m) was buildings. Fixed assets in newly acquired companies account for SEK 202 m (24 m) of investments for the year.

Parent company

Events after the reporting period

On 3 April, Innovalift acquired the UK company Syntium Lifts. More details can be found on page 4.

Risks and uncertainties

The main risk to which the Group and the parent company are exposed is the risk attributable to adverse changes in the values of financial instruments, including a general decline in the stock market or in the value of an individual holding. This includes uncertainties relating to inflation, changes in exchange rates and interest rates. We managed these risks well in 2024 and are confident that we are ready and prepared to address any that may arise. Latour has a well-diversified holding of shares, spread across ten listed holdings and seven whollyowned business areas. This means that the development and performance of an individual holding will not have a drastic impact on the portfolio as a whole. As the wholly-owned industrial operations have increased in size, Latour as a whole is influenced to a higher degree by changes attributable to these operations. On the whole, Latour is deemed to have a good risk diversification in its portfolio, which covers several industries, with a certain emphasis on sectors linked to the construction industry. Construction can also be divided into several dimensions, such as new builds or government-subsidised repair, conversion or extension work, locally or globally, and housing, office and industrial premises or infrastructure projects. No material risks are deemed to have arisen other than those, including climaterelated risks, described in Note 32 of Latour's 2024 Annual Report.

Accounting policies

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and IAS 34 Interim Reporting in respect of the Group, and in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Corporate Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities in respect of the parent company.

The accounting policies and basis of preparation that have been applied in the Annual Report for 2024 have also been applied for the Group. A full description of the Group's applied accounting policies is presented in Note 2 of the Annual Report for 2024.

The Pillar 2 rules, which came into effect on 1 January 2024, have provisionally entailed an additional SEK 2 m top-up tax in the Group. Other changes to accounting standard requirements that came into effect on 1 January 2024 have not had any material impact on the Group's or the parent company's accounting as at 31 March 2025.

The Latour Group uses a number of economic indicators that are not defined in the set of accounting rules used by the Group, known as alternative performance measures. Definitions of the economic indicators can be found on page 22 of this report and in Latour's latest Annual Report. For an explanation of how the financial performance measures have been calculated for the current and prior periods, please see the table in this report and Latour's latest Annual Report.

The Annual Reports for 1984 to 2024 are available for viewing on Latour's website www.latour.se.

This report has not been formally audited by the company's auditors.

The acquisitions have been made with the aim of strengthening and developing the Latour Group's existing operations. The goodwill is attributable to the earning capacity and synergies that will be created when manufacturing and sales organisations are merged with existing operations. Some acquisition cost calculations are still preliminary and may change if new information becomes available. For 2024, no acquisition calculations have been changed.

Transaction costs for acquisitions made during the period amount to SEK 40 m. The acquisition of American Geothermal has an expected earn-out of SEK 150 m. Recognition of an earn-out is based on probable outcome. Final outcome, based on earnings performance in the coming years.

The entire shareholding of Syntium Lifts was acquired after the balance sheet date. Due diligence is being carried out. The acquisition is expected to generate in excess of SEK 27 m in annual turnover, and an operating margin well in line with Latour's other holdings. The purchase price has an insignificant impact on Latour's financial position. The majority of identified surpluses will result from goodwill.

¹Level 1 – valued at fair value based on quoted prices on an active market for identical assets.

²Level 2 – valued at fair value based on other observable inputs for assets and liabilities than quoted price included in level 1.

³Level 3 – valued at fair value based on inputs for assets and liabilities unobservable to the market.

The basis of fair value for listed financial assets is the quoted market price at the balance sheet date. The basis of fair value for unlisted financial assets is determined using valuation techniques, such as recent transactions, the price of comparable instruments or discounted cash flows.

Hedging instruments consist of forward exchange contracts and interest rate and currency swaps and are included in

level 2. Valuation at fair value of forward exchange contracts is based on levels established by the bank on an active market.

The fair value of accounts receivable and other receivables, other current receivables, cash and other liquid funds, accounts payable and other liabilities as well as long-term liabilities is estimated to be the same as their carrying amount. Market interest is not believed to materially deviate from the discount rate for interest-bearing long-term liabilities and therefore the carrying amount is considered in essence equal to the fair value.

The Group's valuation process is carried out by the Group finance and treasury department, where a team works with valuation of the financial assets and liabilities held by the Group.
