Continued growth and good profit

Systemair's second quarter shows evidence of continued growth with sales increasing by 4.9 percent. Adjusted for divestment of the air conditioning business and acquisitions last year, growth totalled 5.1 percent in the quarter. Operating profit for the period improved by 12 percent to SEK 322 million (288).

The market

Demand in the second quarter remained strong, with organic growth of 5.1 percent (14.8). All regions except the Nordics report growth in the period, with the strongest growth being recorded in Eastern Europe on account of major project deliveries. Demand for higher energyefficiency in ventilation solutions remains buoyant, and the need for higher energy efficiency in buildings bode well for continued strong demand for our products.

The Nordic market continued to decline in the period. It is mainly sales of residential ventilation that slowdown that accounts for less than five percent of the sales. An increasing renovation market and investments in commercial properties compensate to some extent.

Acquisitions and investments

Several activities are currently in progress to optimise and develop existing operations, with a particular focus on organic growth. Investments are under way for example in Lithuania, Germany and Canada, mainly with a view to streamlining production and increasing capacity. The decision to relocate Menerga's production in Germany, which was announced after the period under review, will also help to boost efficiency and profitability as production is transferred to our existing plant in Maribor, Slovenia.

Systemair's balance sheet is strong, providing scope for further investments and strategic acquisitions, going forward. We have substantially lowered our indebtedness, which also sharply reduces our interest costs.

Sustainability

We are continuing to systematically advance our sustainability work in all areas of our operations. Every quarter, we report on progress in three priority areas: work-related injuries leading to sickness absence, proportion of female leaders and Scopes 1 and 2 emissions. We are continuing to reduce our emissions, for example through energy upgrades at our production facilities. Many long-term activities are advancing in parallel to ensure that our sustainability work continues to make positive progress. As ever, energy savings and energy efficiency remain our focus, particularly in product development.

Outlook favourable

Our problems with component failures have more or less disappeared. We are cautiously optimistic regarding our continued progress over the rest of the financial year, as we see that activities in the consultancy sector and among ventilation contractors are on the rise again.

With our 26 well-invested production facilities in 18 countries, in combination with the most comprehensive product range in energy-efficient ventilation on the market, we are well equipped for continued long-term and profitable growth.

Systemair AB Interim report Q2 2023/24 4(20)

for the preceding year, based on adjusted profit after financial items, was 25.2 percent. The lower tax burden for the year arises from tax relief of approximately SEK 15 million in connection with investments.

During the year, 19 500 warrants were repurchased from employees who had left their employment.

Financial targets

Systemair has the following financial targets.

  • ◼ Average annual growth in sales over a business cycle should be no less than 10 percent.
  • ◼ The average operating margin over a business cycle should be no less than 10 percent.
  • ◼ The Group's equity/assets ratio should be no less than 30 percent.
  • ◼ The dividend should be approximately 40 percent of profit after tax.

Sustainability work

Sustainability issues are a central and natural part of Systemair. The importance of good indoor air quality is increasing and society depends on healthy and good air through energy- and resource-efficient solutions for ventilation, heating and cooling. Our solutions play an important role in our commitment to contribute to a more sustainable planet.

Sustainability is part of our strategy and an increasingly integral part of our business. Our sustainability framework focuses on four areas that contribute to progress in ten of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Sustainability reporting

Systemair reports annually on its sustainability work in the Company's Annual Report. To improve governance and monitoring, and to increase transparency, Systemair collects selected quarterly sustainability data. Three key

performance measures from sustainability reporting are presented below.

Work-related injuries leading to sickness absence

Systemair strives to ensure that no work-related injuries occur, especially those that lead to sick leave. Our aim is for a reduction of 15 percent per year in our workrelated injuries leading to sick leave, as measured by the LTIFR (Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate) metric. To date this year, the LTIFR has decreased by 43 percent compared to the outcome for the full year 2022/23. The reduction was achieved mainly through consistent and structured work in education, prevention and investment.

Work-related injuries with sickness absence, LTIFR

Female leaders

Increasing the proportion of female leaders is a strategic goal and the aim is that by 2025/26 no less than 25 percent of Systemair's leaders will be women. A leader is defined as a person who is a member of a local management team and/or is in charge of directly reporting employees. The proportion of female leaders rose slightly compared to the previous quarter to 24.0 percent. The metric is volatile in the short term. Systemair uses various measures and programmes to establish firmer ground for long-term positive developments in the area.

Percentage of female leaders

Scopes 1 and 2 emissions (CO2e)

Systemair has set a target to halve its emissions intensity by 2030/31, with 2019/20 as the base year. The calculation is based on the market-based method for emissions related to purchased electricity in all years. During the quarter, the evidence required for specific emission factors for electricity from each of our subsidiaries has been tightened, and historical emission data have been updated accordingly. The accumulated emissions intensity to date this year is 1.83 – a much lower factor than in the corresponding period last year when the figure was 2.24. The emission intensity will be higher for the full year 2023/24 because Quarters 3 and 4 are colder and demand more energy for heating. Higher Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) due to inflation is one contributor to the decrease over time.

Our investments in solar cell installations are helping to lower emissions, with 714,000 kWh generated to date this year.

Emissions intensity Scopes 1 & 2 (Ton CO2e/SEK m. COGS)

Events after the close of the period

In November, the decision was announced to close Menerga's production facility in Muelheim an der Ruhr, Germany, at a non-recurring cost of SEK 125 million. The item will be recognised in the third quarter. It is estimated that the closure will result in annual savings of SEK 70 million, with full effect from 2025.

Liquidity guarantee

Following Carnegie Investment Bank AB's acquisition of Erik Penser, Systemair's liquidity guarantee for the Company's shares on Nasdaq Stockholm has been transferred to Carnegie.

Exposure to Russia, Ukraine and Belarus

At the end of the period under review, the number of employees in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus stood at 187. Systemair's sales in the region represent 1.1 percent of the Group's total sales in the period under review.

In Russia, the Company has 12 local sales offices with associated warehouses. In Moscow, the Group has a production plant and associated land, which after impairment have a book value of SEK 50.9 million. Goodwill and other non-current assets have been written

down to zero. Working capital, mainly in inventories and cash, totals SEK 90.4 million. At present, it is not possible to take this money out of Russia. The Company's costs have been adjusted to the declining sales volume on an ongoing basis.

Material risks and uncertainty

Systemair has chosen to organise risk management into four different categories: strategic, operational, financial and regulatory. Strategic risks comprise, for example, macroeconomic developments in the cyclical construction industry, geopolitics and brand-related risks. Examples of operational risk factors include product availability and skills supply. The financial risks that Systemair has identified in its business consist of foreign exchange risk, borrowing and interest rate risk and credit risk and liquidity risk. Finally, regulatory risks include corruption and product requirements. The material risks and uncertainties affecting Systemair are described in more detail in the Company's 2022/23 Annual Report.

Related party transactions

There were no material related party transactions during the quarter. Transactions with related parties are described in detail in Note 40 to the accounts in the Annual Report for the 2022/23 financial year.

Parent Company

The Parent Company's net sales for the period under review totalled SEK 98.1 million (90.1). Operating profit was negative, at SEK -84.7 million (-74.3). The Parent Company had 59 employees (57). The core business of the Parent Company consists of intra-Group services.

About Systemair

The Company established operations in 1974 with a product concept, the circular duct fan, a design that considerably simplified the process of installation. We adopted the motto "the direct route", which has been developed from a product concept into a business philosophy. Our product range has expanded strongly to extend over a broad range of fans, air handling units, products for air distribution, air conditioning, air curtains and heating products.

Mission statement

Operating from the core values of simplicity and reliability, our business concept is to develop, manufacture and market energy-efficient, high-quality ventilation products. On the basis of our business concept and with our customers in focus, our aim is to be seen as a company to rely on, with the emphasis on delivery reliability, availability, sustainability and quality.

Business model

Availability is an important parameter in terms of our competitiveness, and we ensure effective control of our flow of goods, with our own production units, centralised warehouse facilities and an efficient common ERP system. With modern production plants and our own sales companies around the world, we reach out directly to our customers.

The business model supports stability and development, and today we are a leading producer and supplier of ventilation products with our own production and own sales companies.

Strategies

Systemair's mission is to create better air every day around the world. Through energy-efficient and sustainable products, we are reducing CO2 emissions and energy consumption, and we are leveraging the market's powerful drivers to achieve our goals.

Strategic priorities:

  • ◼ We will provide an attractive workplace with an inclusive culture that promotes employee development and entrepreneurship. Through this internal strength, we can build strong relationships based on expertise and trust.
  • ◼ We provide a wide range of quality products, based on standardised platforms, with energy efficiency

and indoor air quality at their core. Our products are designed to make connected and smart solutions possible.

  • ◼ We will improve our profitability through economies of scale and efficient product development focused on standardisation. A strong local presence where decision-making is decentralised, for agility on the solid ground of common processes.
  • ◼ We look to the future in order to prepare for the demands that lie ahead. Sustainable products are part of this: we look at the whole life cycle of the product to improve resource efficiency and our climate footprint. We will build up our servicing business as it plays an important role in optimising the product in operation. Overall, Systemair stands for a longterm approach and will work to put this into practice through sustainable and responsible decisions.
  • ◼ We will continue to maintain a global and diversified customer base. This provides us with solid foundations for profitable growth via organic investments and an active acquisition agenda. Systemair is our main brand and other brands are only used when they offer a clear business benefit.

Auditor's Review Report

Systemair AB (publ). Co. reg. no. 556160-4108

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (the interim report) for Systemair AB (publ) as per 31 October 2023 and the six-month reporting period ending on that date. The preparation and fair presentation of the interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act are the responsibility of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer. Our responsibility is to express our opinion of this interim report based on our review.

Emphasis and scope of the review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements: ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditors of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. The emphasis and scope of a review differ considerably from that of an audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices in Sweden.

The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance to become aware of all significant matters that could have been identified in an audit. As our opinion is based on a review, the level of assurance is not as high as that of an opinion expressed based on an audit.

Opinion

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

Cash and cash equivalents 1.8
Non-interest-bearing liabilities -0.4
Other operating liabilities -14.0
8.2

Payment for the acquisition was made in advance in April 2023.

The total impact from acquisitions and previously withheld purchase prices on cash flow was SEK -37.7 million. Payments of previously withheld purchase prices relate to the acquisitions of Sagicofim and SCS. No transaction costs in connection with the acquisitions have been charged to profit.

Customer relationships have been stated at the net present value of future cash flows. The useful life of these assets has been estimated at 5 years.

The goodwill upon acquisition is attributable to the strong market position of the companies acquired, synergies expected to arise after the acquisition and the company's estimated future earning capacity.

Net sales for the acquired company between the time of the acquisition and the end of the period under review totalled SEK 21.8 million. Operating profit for the corresponding period was SEK 2.6 million.

Note 4 Financial instruments

Systemair's financial instruments comprise derivatives, trade accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts payable, accrued supplier costs, interest-bearing liabilities, acquisition options and additional purchase considerations. Liabilities to credit institutions carry variable interest rates or, in certain cases, fixed rates for a short period. Derivatives are measured at fair value via the income statement on the basis of input data corresponding to level 2 as defined in IFRS 13.

Share purchase options and additional purchase considerations are measured on level 3 as defined in IFRS 13. The calculation for the option to acquire the remaining 10 percent of the shares in Systemair HSK, Turkey, is based on the anticipated earnings before depreciation/amortisation and tax (EBITDA) for the financial years until 2024/25, plus the increase in value of the land and building where the Turkish production facility is situated. Any increase in anticipated profit after tax and any increase in value of the land would result in an increase in the liability relating to the option. No upper limit for the anticipated liability is established in the agreement. Any change in estimated liability is transferred via the Group's equity. For the period under review, May–October 2023, the liability has been revalued upwards by SEK 66.6 million and is now measured at SEK 87.0 million. The calculation for the option to acquire the remaining 40 percent of the shares in Frico A/S, Denmark, is based on the anticipated operating profit (EBIT) for the 2023/24 and 2024/25 financial years. Any increase in anticipated profit after tax would result in an increase in the liability relating to the option. No upper limit for the anticipated liability is established in the agreement. Any change in estimated liability is transferred via the Group's equity. For the period under review, May–October 2023, the liability has been revalued downwards by SEK 2.5 million and is now measured at SEK 9.5 million. The liability for the purchase options is recognised under Non-current liabilities, non-interestbearing, on the balance sheet.

Other financial assets and liabilities are short-term. For that reason, the fair values of all financial instruments are considered to equate approximately to the carrying amounts. Systemair has not recognised any financial assets and liabilities net.

Note 5 Segment reporting

The Group's operations are classified geographically. Systemair aggregates into two geographical segments of (i) Europe and (ii) Americas, Middle East, Asia, Australia and Africa. The market segment Europe accounts for the major share of Systemair's business. The segment Europe consists of a large number of markets. The legal entities within Europe work with each other in manufacturing and sales. The Company also judges that in every material respect similar economic conditions exist in the region, and so the legal entities within the region have been aggregated. Systemair further considers that accounting for the merged segments of (i) Europe and (ii) Americas, Middle East, Asia, Australia and Africa presents a clearer picture. The Parent Company is accounted for via a separate segment, Group-wide. The subsidiaries are aggregated on the basis of their legal domicile and they are consolidated according to the same principles as for the Group as a whole.

Alternative Performance Measures

In the report, Systemair presents performance measures that supplement the financial ratios defined in IFRS; these are known as alternative performance measures (APMs). The Company is of the view that these APMs provide valuable information to investors and the Company's management, in that they enable evaluation of the Company's performance, trends, capacity to pay down debt and invest in new business opportunities, and that they reflect the Group's acquisition-intensive business model.

Because not all companies calculate key financial performance measures in the same way, these APMs are not always comparable. As a result, they should not be regarded as substitutes for performance measures as defined in IFRS. A number of definitions appear below, the majority of which are alternative performance measures.

For more key performance measures and information on how they are calculated, see Systemair's website at: https://group.systemair.com/investor-relations/financial-information/financial-data/
