The strong order intake and improved cash conversion continued from the previous quarter. In line with our expectations, net sales decreased and the EBITA margin deteriorated compared to the previous year.
In order to adapt our business operations to the lower turnover and improve margins, we have taken extensive costcutting measures and are aligning our resources with the current market environment.
Net sales decreased by 2 percent and organic growth was -6 percent, which was in line with previous estimates. The proportion of service turnover increased slightly, compared to the first quarter of 2023. We still have a strong order intake and this increased in all countries, by a total of 16 percent compared to the first quarter of 2023. Our order backlog remains high, but the order situation varies between the different geographical areas. The market was robust in Norway and in large parts of Sweden and in Denmark, while it remains weaker in southern Sweden and Finland.
During the quarter, the EBITA margin improved in Norway. The Thunestvedt acquisition which develops according to plan is included in the entire quarter. The acquisition has resulted in a dilution of the EBITA margin by 0.3 percentage points in Norway. In Sweden, there is weaker development in the southern parts of the country whereas other parts of the country are stable. In the quarter, we included the cost of discontinuing the Growth Segment division, which totalled approximately SEK 9 million.
The previously reported challenges in Denmark reduced the overall margin as expected and we have continued write downs in the quarter. As planned, we carried out a thorough review of the Danish business operations and have initiated significant measures in the business, including hiring Christian Alsø as new CEO of Denmark. As stated previously, I expect us to reach a normal EBITA margin in Denmark by the end of this year. The weak construction market in Finland resulted in a lower margin in the installation business, and a fall in turnover in the service business had a negative impact on the margin.
To improve profitability, we took a number of measures in the quarter. We wound down the Growth Segment division, and the business has been integrated into our other operations. We have also reduced resources centrally and in local branches based on demand.
Cash flow from operating activities improved compared with the first quarter of 2023. Cash conversion rose to 90 percent, which is the highest level since the first quarter of 2022. Net debt remains low at 0.9 times EBITDA, which enables continued profitable acquisition activities.
We continue to see good opportunities to make acquisitions and are actively working with several potential candidates.

"Strong order intake and increased order backlog"
As always, we are focused on selecting the right targets with strong cultural fit and value creation. We prioritise service businesses and businesses in new technology areas.
Our employees' working environment is always our highest priority, it is therefore very gratifying that the LTIFR decreased to 5.6 (7.5). We continue to electrify our vehicle fleet and during the quarter the share of electric vehicles increased from 25 percent to 28 percent of the total fleet. The electrification shows results and we have reduced the actual emissions and emissions in relation to turnover.
The reported incident of over-billing in Region Skåne was dealt with decisively, see the summary report on our website.
For Bravida, my assessment is that demand for service will remain stable while installation volumes will be affected by the market challenges we experienced in 2023, although this may vary locally. We expect to have a good market for projects in the areas of infrastructure, industry, defence facilities and civil engineering. It is of the utmost importance that we maintain strict project selection and cost controls in all our business operations, in order to ensure a stable margin.
Stockholm, May 2024
The service sales volume in the Nordics remains stable and external analysts expect continued volume growth in 2024 and 2025.
The installation sales volume in the Nordics is more cyclical and, according to external estimates, the volume will decrease in 2024, due to significantly lower activity in the construction market, which has a direct impact on installation volume. However, developments will vary as some local markets will continue to grow. In 2025, a cautious recovery of the volume is expected.
The volume regarding residential investment is declining in Sweden, Norway and Finland, which is making a significant contribution to the overall volume decline in the installation market. However, Bravida has relatively low exposure to residential investments. The installation market in general is considered to be stable due to public investments in healthcare, defence and infrastructure. Industrial investments are contributing as a result of investments in the green transition, power and electrification. Reduced investment in new commercial premises is partly offset by tenant adaptations, and demand for logistics premises and data centres remains good.
Net sales decreased 2 percent to SEK 7,275 million (7,429). Organic growth was -6 percent, acquisitions boosted net sales by 4 percent and currency effects had a 0 percent impact. Net sales increased in Norway and Finland, but decreased in Sweden and Denmark. Net installation sales decreased by 3 percent and net service sales decreased by 1 percent compared to the same quarter in the previous year. The service area accounted for 47 percent (47) of total net sales. The order intake increased by 16 percent to SEK 7,915 million (6,844). The order intake increased in all countries.
The order backlog was SEK 17,835 million (16,243). The order backlog, including acquisitions, increased by SEK 835 million during the quarter. The order backlog only includes installation projects.
The operating profit was SEK 294 million (370). EBITA decreased by 21 percent to SEK 294 million (370), resulting in an EBITA margin of 4.0 percent (5.0). The weaker earnings are mainly explained by the negative earnings trend in Denmark, as well as lower earnings in Sweden and Finland.
The EBITA margin improved in Norway and decreased in the other countries. The Growth Segment division was discontinued in the quarter, which had a negative impact of SEK 9 million on EBITA. Group-wide earnings were SEK 18 million (7). Net financial items amounted to SEK -38 million (-19). Profit after financial items was SEK 256 million (350). Profit after tax was SEK 202 million (276). Basic and diluted earnings per share decreased by 25 percent to SEK 0.98 (1.32).
Depreciation and amortisation during the quarter totalled SEK -152 million (-126), of which SEK -136 million (-114) related to depreciation of right-of-use assets.
The tax expense for the quarter was SEK -54 million (-74). Profit before tax was SEK 256 million (350). Tax paid totalled SEK -62 million (-61).
Cash flow from operating activities increased to SEK 399 million (60). The improved cash flow is mainly explained by cash flow from changes in working capital, which totalled SEK 24 million (-337).
Cash flow from investing activities was SEK -141 million (-157), of which payments regarding acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses were SEK -132 million (-134). Cash flow from financing activities was SEK -303 million (-56). Cash flow for the quarter was SEK -45 million (-153). 12-month cash conversion was 90 percent (70).

Changes in market conditions, financial turmoil and political decisions are the external factors that mainly affect demand for new construction of housing and commercial property, as well as investment from industry and the public sector. Demand for service and maintenance is less sensitive to economic fluctuations. Operating risks are related to day-to-day business operations such as tendering, price risks, capacity utilisation and revenue
recognition. Management of these risks is part of Bravida's business process. Recognition over time is applied and is based on the degree of completion of each project and the expected date of completion. A well-developed process for the monitoring of projects is essential for limiting the risk of incorrect revenue recognition. Bravida continually monitors the financial status of each project to ensure that individual project calculations are not exceeded. The Group is also exposed to write-down risks in fixed-price contracts and various types of financial risk such as currency, interest rate and credit risks.
No transactions with related parties outside the Group took place during the period.

The company presents certain financial measures in this quarterly report that are not defined under IFRS. The company considers that these indicators provide valuable additional information for investors and the company's management as they allow relevant trends to be assessed. Bravida's definitions of these indicators may differ from other companies' definitions of the same terms. These financial measures should therefore be regarded as complementary rather than replacing the measures defined under IFRS. See page 20 for definitions of key indicators.

Bravida normally uses an acquisition structure with a fixed purchase price and contingent consideration. The contingent consideration is initially valued at the likely final amount, which for the year's acquisitions is SEK 12 million. The contingent considerations are due for payment within three to five years.

Bravida's business is affected by seasonal variations in the construction industry and employees' annual holiday. Bravida usually has a lower level of activity in the third quarter as it is the main holiday period. The fourth quarter normally has the highest earnings because a lot of projects are completed during that period.
The fair value of the Group's financial assets and liabilities is not materially different from carrying amounts. No items other than the contingent consideration are recognised at fair value in the balance sheet.
