CEO comments

Strong mining, weak construction

Mining activity continued to be strong in the quarter and the orders received increased to MSEK 16 349 (15 436), corresponding to an organic growth of 1%. Large equipment orders amounted to MSEK 950 (550). The organic service growth was 5%, driven by mid-life upgrades and a strong demand for mixed-fleet automation. The construction market weakened further in the quarter, impacting mainly the aftermarket business. The demand for hydraulic attachments in important markets, such as the United States and Europe, was especially weak.

Compared to the previous quarter, we achieved 5% organic growth, driven by higher order intake for mining equipment.

In the near term, we expect that the underlying mining demand, both for equipment and aftermarket, will remain at a high level, while demand from construction customers is expected to remain weak.

Revenues and profitability

Revenues increased 4% to MSEK 16 511 (15 910), driven by acquisitions. Organically, the revenues decreased -1% as Tools & Attachments had a weak development. The operating profit, EBIT, was MSEK 2 921 (3 413) and included items affecting comparability of MSEK -325 (-16), mainly related to the acquisition of Stanley Infrastructure and restructuring costs. The adjusted operating margin, EBIT, was 19.7% (21.6). The lower margin is mainly explained by overall higher cost levels, negative mix effects and dilution from acquisitions.

Actions to improve profitability

Efficiency measures were carried out as planned in the quarter. Sequentially, for comparable units, the number of employees decreased by around -450, mainly within service and manufacturing. Further measures for increased efficiency have already been initiated.

Cash flow and working capital

Operating cash flow increased to MSEK 1 609 (1 549). The improvement in cash flow is mainly explained by a more favorable development in working capital, partly compensating for the lower operating profit.

Building position for future growth

In the quarter, we closed the acquisition of Stanley Infrastructure and announced the acquisition of ACB+. Together, we will be a leader within attachments and quick couplers, providing customers with a more complete range of productivity solutions. Long term, the construction market is attractive, with an anticipated annual growth rate of 4-5%, with attachments used for deconstruction and recycling of steel and copper expected to grow even more.

Accelerated leadership within automation

On July 3, we acquired the remaining shares of ASI Mining, one of our collaboration partners in the Roy Hill project in Australia. In this project, we are converting a mixed fleet of around 100 haul trucks to driverless operations. When this project is complete, we will have the created the world's largest autonomous mixed fleet mine.

I am excited about the uptake for our automation solutions including mixed fleet products for both surface and underground applications. These applications deliver proven benefits for our customers, including increased productivity, improved safety, and lower emissions. We are the one-stop shop for mixed-fleet automation and remote-control solutions, regardless of manufacturer or type of equipment, mainly thanks to acquisitions such as ASI Mining and RCT.

Battery-electric trolley truck system

In the quarter, we successfully deployed a batteryelectric trolley truck system for underground mining in close collaboration with ABB and Boliden. This brings the mining industry closer to realizing the allelectric mine of the future, with sustainable, productive operations and improved working conditions.

We are happy that customers continue to choose to collaborate with us to provide them with the right solutions for the future. Together we make it happen.

Epiroc AB (publ), Corp.Reg.No. 556041-2149

Introduction: We have reviewed the condensed interim report for Epiroc AB as at 30 June 2024 and for the six month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of Review: We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements, ISRE 2410. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion: Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Group, and in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Parent Company.

The table presents annual revenues in MSEK and employees at the time of the acquisition.

Acquisitions completed in the first half of 2024

  • Stanley Infrastructure designs, manufactures, and sells attachments, typically used on excavators, and handheld hydraulic and battery-powered tools for applications in infrastructure, construction, scrap recycling, deconstruction, and railroad infrastructure. Its strong and innovative brands include LaBounty, Paladin, Pengo and Dubuis. The acquisition strengthens Epiroc's presence especially in the United States. Stanley Infrastructure had revenues in 2023 of MUSD 447 (MSEK 4 725), an adjusted EBITA margin of 16% and 1 380 employees. The acquisition was announced on December 15, 2023, and was completed on April 1, 2024. Revenues from the acquisition are reported in "Tools & Attachments". The purchase price (Enterprise Value) amounted to MUSD 760 (MSEK 8 200) and is mainly allocated to intangible assets and goodwill. The acquisition was an all-cash transaction. The acquisition will dilute both the Group and the Tools & Attachments full year 2024 adjusted EBITA margins with approximately 0.5-0.7 percentage points. Integration and transaction costs amounted to MSEK -255 in the first half year 2024.

Several key figures in this report are not defined according to IFRS. The alternative performance measures are marked with a *. They provide complementary information aiming to help readers to analyze the company's operations and facilitate an evaluation of the performance. Since not all companies calculate financial performance measures in the same manner, these are not always comparable with measures used by other companies. These financial performance measures should therefore not be regarded as a replacement for measures as defined according to IFRS. For a list of financial definitions, non-IFRS measures and calculations, visit the Epiroc Group website.
