CEO comment

Performance

Sales during the period January to September totalled SEK 3,712 million, an increase of 17 percent, including organic growth of 5 percent, compared with the corresponding period last year. For the third quarter, the increase was 4 percent, of which -2 percent was organic growth compared to the corresponding quarter last year. Norway and Finland showed positive organic growth, while Sweden and Denmark exhibited a weaker development due to tougher market competition. We saw a positive development for projects related to energy efficiency in all markets, where Fasadgruppen has a strong and comprehensive offering. Our SmartFront method continues to grow and has tripled in 2023.

Adjusted EBITA for the first nine months of the year increased by 4 percent to SEK 320 million, while the adjusted EBITA margin decreased from 9.7 to 8.6 percent. For the third quarter, the margin decreased from 11.5 to 9.4 percent. It was a particularly challenging market for the business in the Stockholm area, which constitutes about 20 percent of Fasadgruppen, where competition intensified considerably. The margin has also been affected by a weaker development for the part of the business that mainly works with new build. In our decentralised model, each subsidiary is responsible for its own earnings, and they are used to working flexibly with a focus on costs. Several redundancy consultations have been announced during the autumn.

The order backlog has increased by 7 percent, of which organic growth of 5 percent, compared with the corresponding point last year and amounted to SEK 3,410 million at the end of the period. From a geographical perspective, the order backlog development was stable in Norway, declining in Sweden and positive in Denmark and Finland.

Cash flow from operating activities for the nine-month period strengthened by 76 percent compared with the same period last year. A number of activities were launched at the beginning of the year to improve tied-up capital within the group, and these have contributed to the development. Changes in working capital for the period January to September amounted to SEK 41 million, compared with SEK -127 million last year. Cash conversion for the last 12 months was 109 percent. It is pleasing that the measures taken to improve cash flow have been effective.

Net debt at the end of the period was SEK 1,335 million, which corresponds to 2.5x EBITDA on a rolling twelvemonth basis. We are comfortable with the current level of debt.

"We are taking a careful approach to the current market situation and are following developments closely, and our subsidiaries are acting and adapting according to their market conditions. Our focus is on creating shareholder value through stable and profitable growth."

Achieving more effective governance

On 1 November, we introduced a new organisational structure with the formation of an operating unit. The aim is to establish more effective governance with clearer responsibilities, in turn creating the conditions for higher profitability. Johan Claesson, previously Business Area Manager of SouthWest, has been appointed COO.

We consolidated four acquisitions during the year, which will have a positive impact on our results. Our strong cash flow and financial position give us the scope to continue making acquisitions.

We are also continuously working on organic sales initiatives based on our expertise in energy efficiency in particular. In this, we endeavour to be an obvious partner to all our customers.

In connection with this interim report, we have also decided to activate the Annual General Meeting's authorisation for share buy-backs in order to be able to access more value-creating tools in our capital allocation strategy.

We are taking a careful approach to the current market situation and are following developments closely, and our subsidiaries are acting and adapting according to their market conditions. Our focus is on creating shareholder value through stable and profitable growth.

Group development

Third quarter

Net sales

Net sales for the third quarter of 2023 amounted to SEK 1,259.2 million (1,208.0), a 4.2 percent increase compared with the same period in the previous year. The increase consists of organic growth of -2.0 percent, exchange rate changes of +1.7 percent and growth through acquisitions of +4.5 percent. The trends vary on the different Nordic markets and in local currency there was positive organic growth during the quarter in Norway in particular, but also in Finland, while the opposite was true of Sweden and Denmark. Fasadgruppen completed one business acquisition during the third quarter of 2023. For more information on acquisitions, please see page 5 and Note 8.

Earnings

EBITA for the current quarter amounted to SEK 113.2 million (148.9) and adjusted EBITA to SEK 118.5 million (139.4). Items affecting comparability in the quarter as a whole amounted to SEK -5.3 million (9.4); see also Note 7. The adjusted EBITA margin for the current quarter amounted to 9.4 percent (11.5). The margin trend during the quarter was mainly due to increased competition in Sweden, particularly in the metropolitan regions, which has had an impact on margins during the current period. Other operating income/expenses were significantly impacted by the revaluation of contingent earnouts during the current period, in the amount of SEK +31.0 million (+66.2) and SEK -31.6 million (-52.7) respectively, the items being treated as affecting comparability; see also Notes 6 and 7. Net financial items for the quarter amounted to SEK -32.2 million (-9.9). Interest expenses on loans from credit institutions amounted to SEK -27.7 million (-7.8). Accrued expenses from previous financing arrangements settled as part of the restructuring of financing in August had a negative impact on net financial items of SEK -2.7 million. Profit for the period amounted to SEK 60.5 million (105.4), corresponding to earnings per share of SEK 1.22 (2.15) before and after dilution. The effective tax rate was 23.4 percent (17.7). The difference in effective tax rate between the periods is mainly the result of a positive adjustment in deferred tax of SEK 3.0 million at one of our Norwegian subsidiaries, as well as additional net income from the revaluation of earnouts that are non-taxable, both in the comparison period.

January–September

Net sales

Net sales for January to September 2023 amounted to SEK 3,712.2 million (3,162.6), a 17.4 percent increase compared with the same period in the previous year. The increase consists of organic growth of +5.0 percent, exchange rate changes of +0.7 percent and growth through acquisitions of +11.7 percent. Organic growth has otherwise been primarily affected by the impacts of the cost inflation of materials during the first quarter but also by real volume growth in relation to the comparison period in 2022. Fasadgruppen completed one business acquisition during the period January to September 2023. For more information on acquisitions, please see page 5 and Note 8.

Earnings

EBITA for the period January to September 2023 amounted to SEK 289.1 million (304.2) and adjusted EBITA to SEK 320.1 million (306.4). Items affecting comparability during the period totalled SEK -31.0 million (-2.2), see also Note 7, with an adjusted EBITA margin of 8.6 percent (9.7). Customer pricing could be managed satisfactorily during the first quarter, with positive effects on the margin, but was negatively affected by increased competition in Sweden, and in the metropolitan regions in particular, during the second and third quarters. Other operating income/expenses were significantly impacted by the revaluation of contingent earnouts during the period, in the amount of SEK +31.0 million (+67.1) and SEK -49.6 million (-52.7) respectively, the items being treated as affecting comparability; see also Notes 6 and 7. Net financial items for the period totalled SEK -76.0 million (-22.5). Interest expenses on loans from credit institutions amounted to SEK -65.8 million (-14.3). The discounting of earnouts had a negative impact on net financial items of SEK -4.4 million for the current period and accrued expenses from previous financing arrangements settled as part of the restructuring of financing in August had a further negative impact of SEK -2.7 million. Profit for the period amounted to SEK 145.7 million (204.3), corresponding to earnings per share of SEK 2.94 (4.26) before and after dilution. The effective tax rate was 25.6 percent (20.5). The difference in effective tax rate between the periods is mainly the result of differences in the net effects of the revaluation of earnouts that are non-taxable, as well as a positive adjustment in deferred tax in the comparison period of SEK 3.0 million at one of our Norwegian subsidiaries.

Order backlog

At the end of September 2023, the order backlog amounted to SEK 3,410.0 million (3,173.0), an increase of 7.5 percent. The increase consists of organic growth of +5.2 percent, exchange rate changes of +1.2 percent and growth through acquisitions of +1.1 percent. The order backlog has increased by 14.3 percent, SEK +426.7 million, since the beginning of 2023.

Financial position and financing

t the end of the eriod, shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 2,157.5 million (1,997.3). The change in shareholders' equity between the eriod ends can be attributed to warrant payments of SEK +4.3 million and dividends of SEK -84.4 million. The rest of the change in shareholders' equity is attributable to the comprehensive income for the period. Interest-bearing net debt on 30 September 2023 amounted to SEK 1,335.3 million (1,371.8). The interest-bearing net debt includes lease liabilities amounting to SEK 155.3 million (161.3). Earnouts are not included in interest-bearing net debt and on 30 September 2023 amounted to SEK 207.5 million (266.7). The fixed interest period for interest-bearing liabilities varies between 1 and 6 months and the average interest expense paid as a percentage for the period January–September 2023 was approximately 4.6 percent (1.7). The ratio of Fasadgru en's interest-bearing net debt to adjusted EBITDA 12M (not on a proforma basis) was 2.5 (2.8) at the end of the period. On 30 September 2023, the Group held cash and cash equivalents and other short-term investments amounting to SEK 502.6 million (357.0). In addition to cash and cash equivalents and other shortterm investments, there were unutilised credit facilities of around SEK 1,050 million at the end of the period. The Grou 's entire revious financing was refinanced in August and the facilities available increased by around SEK 600 million; see also Acquisitions on page 5.

Cash flow and investments

The change in working capital for the period January to September 2023 was significantly better than the comparison period and amounted to SEK 41.4 million (-127.3). The strong development for working capital is considered to be partly due to the subsidiaries returning to purchasing materials closer to project implementation, as opposed to the earlier purchases that were made in order to protect margins during the material cost inflation in 2022. It is also partly due to the measures implemented since the turn of the year to improve tied-up working capital within the Group, which are now beginning to bear fruit. Operating cash flow totalled SEK 337.8 million (191.7) as a direct result of the positive development in working capital during the current period. Group net investments in tangible noncurrent assets amounted to SEK -67.7 million (-44.4) for the period January to September 2023. The increase between the periods is mainly attributable to a major investment in scaffolding during the second quarter

totalling SEK 22.2 million in scaffolding company Rapid. Depreciation on non-current assets for the period amounted to SEK -92.1 million (-83.9), of which depreciation on acquired intangible assets, such as customer relationships, amounted to SEK -17.2 million (-24.7). Investments in company acquisitions for the period January to September 2023 amounted to SEK -31.2 million (-848.1). Contingent earnouts were paid in relation to acquisitions made in previous years at a net amount of SEK 99.8 million during the period January to September 2023; see also Note 6.

Personnel

The Group had 2,007 employees (1,969) on 30 September 2023, of whom 88 were women (76). The average number of employees for the period January– September 2023 was 1,966 (1,740). The change relative to the comparison period is primarily attributable to new acquisitions between the periods.

Parent Company

Fasadgruppen Group AB acts as a holding company for the Group and provides head office functions such as Group-wide management, administration and a finance department. Income comprises management fees from Group companies for Group-wide services and costs covered by the Parent Company. Net financial items mainly comprise dividends and interest income from Group companies, as well as interest expenses from external financing. Profit/loss for the period January to September amounted to SEK 29.0 million (-21.9). Assets, primarily consisting of participations in and receivables from Group company Fasadgruppen Norden AB, amounted to SEK 3,160.4 million (3,024.4) at the end of the eriod hareholders' equity amounted to SEK 1,473.2 million (1,459.1) on the balance sheet date. The number of employees at the parent company at the end of the period was 2 (3).

Acquisitions

In the period October 2022 to September 2023, Fasadgruppen acquired two new businesses. These acquisitions are a ey art of the Grou 's growth strategy and are carefully chosen based on selective criteria that are defined in the Fasadgruppen growth strategy.

During the period October 2022 to September 2023, the Group has acquired an estimated SEK 111 million in annual sales and added around 26 new employees to the workforce, bringing new know-how and working capacity to the Group.

Goodwill totalling SEK 2,882.1 million within the Group is a result of continuous and consciously targeted acquisitions over a number of years. Accumulated goodwill primarily relates to growth expectations, expected future profitability, the significant knowledge and expertise possessed by subsidiary company personnel and expected synergies on the costs side.

One new acquisition was closed during January– September, Danish balcony manufacturer Weldmatic A/S. In September, agreements were entered into for the acquisition of façade contractor Rosborg Entreprenad AB and the bankrupt estate of balcony specialist Teknova Byggsystem AB, which were both closed in October. After the end of the quarter, the acquisition of Surface Byggställningar AB was also announced and closed.

In August, Fasadgruppen entered into a new financing agreement for a total of SEK 2,700 million, comprising a revolving credit facility of SEK 1,600 million and two credit facilities for a total of SEK 1,100 million. The agreement has a term of three years, with the option to extend for a further year on two occasions, giving a maximum term of five years his agreement increases the Grou 's total available credit facilities by around SEK 600 million.

The Fasadgruppen M&A strategy

Fasadgruppen has an active M&A strategy. Acquisitions are primarily completed with the aim of broadening the Group geographically and strengthening its offering. As well as adding new companies to the Group, add-on acquisitions are also made to existing companies with the aim of adding expertise, framework agreements and critical mass.

Fasadgruppen has defined a number of acquisition criteria with requirements such as good profitability, geographic locations and long-term management. Potential acquisitions are identified primarily through internal networks and references from existing subsidiaries, which generate a continuous flow of candidates. When a new acquisition has been completed, an established model is used to ensure a smooth integration where the subsidiary can quickly benefit from Fasadgru en's economies of scale and can begin to contribute to the value creation in the Grou

Other information

Risks and uncertainties

Fasadgru en's business is affected by a number of ris s whose effects on earnings and financial position can be managed to varying degrees When assessing the Grou 's future development, it is important to consider the risk factors in addition to possible opportunities for earnings growth. The Group is exposed to different types of risk in its business and these are categorised as operational risks, financial risks and external risks. External risks are primarily related to factors outside Fasadgru en's own businesses, such as macroeconomic growth on the Grou 's main markets. Operational risks are related to day-to-day operations such as tendering, capacity utilisation, percentage of completion and price risks. The financial risks include liquidity and loan financing risks. Risk management is clearly defined in the Fasadgruppen management system, which is designed to prevent and reduce the Grou 's ris ex osure Ris management in the Group aims to identify, measure, control and limit risks in the business.

The demand for raw materials and energy, which combined with production and delivery issues caused a shortage of materials in several industries in 2022, has continued to have a limited im act on Fasadgru en's operations. The Group continues to work purposefully with its suppliers to ensure the supply of materials and manage price changes. The longer-term consequences of the rising interest rate levels, which are mostly considered to be of a general cyclical nature, remain hard to predict. The Group continues to monitor developments closely as part of its ongoing risk management work, making adjustments when necessary.

No additional risks and uncertainties, beyond those presented, are deemed to have arisen during the period. For further information on the Grou 's ris s, lease see the 2022 Annual Report.

Seasonal variations

Fasadgru en's activities and mar ets are affected by seasonal variations to a certain degree. As a rule, the first quarter of the year is weaker than the remaining ninemonth period as the winter conditions can make roof work and other outdoor services, for example, more difficult. Low temperatures mean it is more difficult for rendering and masonry work to be cured to the expected compressive strength and therefore larger projects involving rendering and masonry are avoided during winter months. The Group's diversified structure, with regard to both market offering and geographic presence, limits exposure to seasonal variations to a certain extent, however.

Future projections

The Nordic market is expected to continue to have stable underlying renovation requirements in the future. Underlying driving forces, such as urbanisation, housing shortages, the tough Nordic weather climate and increased focus on improving energy efficiency in buildings, are considered to lead to a continuing willingness to invest among the Grou 's customer grou s, which oints to continued long-term growth potential for Fasadgruppen. The Group has a well underpinned acquisition strategy and future acquisition opportunities are considered to remain good. The Grou 's financial base creates the stability that aids both investments and acquisitions. Fasadgruppen continues to develop its sustainability work with the focus on profitability and those products that are being developed for the sustainable façade solutions of the future that will boost the competitiveness of customers. The Group is firmly resolved to drive both daily improvement work in its business and the transformation of the façade sector towards safe and more sustainable solutions.

You can also read about how the Group is working to counter possible risks as a consequence of the shortage of materials and energy in several industries and rising interest rates in the section on Risks and uncertainties.

Incentive programme

The Annual General Meetings of 2021, 2022 and 2023 resolved to implement long-term incentive programmes for employees in the Group, consisting of warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one new share in the Company at a predetermined price and within a specified subscription period. The subscription price corresponds to 125 percent of the volume-weighted average rice for the Com any's shares on asdaq Stockholm during the last ten trading days prior to the respective Annual General Meeting that approved the incentive programme.

Warrants have been transferred to employees at a market price calculated in accordance with the Black–Scholes model. Warrants not transferred to employees have been transferred to the com any's wholly owned subsidiary Fasadgruppen Norden AB free of charge.

Under certain circumstances, the Company is entitled to repurchase warrants from holders whose employment in the Group is terminated or who wish to transfer their warrants to a third party. Further information on the terms and conditions for the warrants is available on the Com any's website

The share and share capital

The number of shares and votes is unchanged during the period January to September 2023. As at 30 September 2023, the number of shares and votes amounted to 49,623,830 with a share capital of SEK 2.5 million, corresponding to a quotient value of SEK 0.05 per share. The three largest shareholders in the company at the end of September 2023 were Capital Group, Connecting Capital and Swedbank Robur Fonder.

Events after the end of the period

• In October, Fasadgruppen closed the acquisition of Surface Byggställningar AB, a turnkey supplier of

scaffolding and weather protection with five local branches in Jönköping, Trollhättan, Skara, Örebro and Västerås. Surface has 69 full-time employees and achieved sales of around SEK 114 million in the 2022 financial year. Fasadgruppen is financing the acquisition using its own cash and available credit facilities.

  • On 1 November, Fasadgruppen formed a new operating unit that combines all its geographical business areas, as well as a number of central specialist functions that support the operations of its subsidiaries. Johan Claesson has been appointed COO with responsibility for the new unit. The reorganisation has altered the composition of the Group management. As of 1 November, Fasadgru en's Grou management com rises C Martin Jacobsson, CFO Casper Tamm, Head of M&A Daniél Bergman, COO Johan Claesson and Head of Communications and Sustainability Adrian Westman.
  • The board of directors of Fasadgruppen Group AB (publ) has, based on the authorisation from the annual general meeting on 11 May 2023, decided to initiate a share buy-back programme of up to SEK 50 million. The purpose of the buy-back programme is to enable Fasadgruppen to use repurchased own shares to finance future acquisitions and to optimise the company's capital structure and create value for the company's shareholders.

Notes

Note 1 Accounting policies

Fasadgruppen Group AB applies the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. The consolidated accounts in this interim report have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting plus applicable regulations in the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The Parent Company accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities. The interim report should be read together with the annual report for the financial year ending on 31 December 2022. The accounting policies and calculation bases are the same as those that were applied in the annual report for 2022. Information in accordance with IAS 34 16A also appears in other parts of the interim report in addition to the financial statements and associated notes.

The amounts are rounded to the nearest million (SEK million) to one decimal place, unless otherwise stated. As a consequence of rounding, figures presented in the financial reports may not add up to the exact total in certain cases and percentage figures can differ from the exact percentage figures. Amounts in parentheses refer to the comparison period.

Hedge accounting of foreign operations

On 1 January 2023, Fasadgruppen began applying hedge accounting to parts of its net investments in foreign operations. The Group uses loans as hedging instruments. Hedging of net investments in foreign operations is recognised in a similar way to cash flow hedging. The proportion of gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is deemed to be an effective hedge is recognised in Other comprehensive income. The gain or loss attributable to the ineffective portion is recognised in the income statement. ccumulated gains and losses in shareholders' equity are recognised in the income statement when the foreign operations are divested in whole or in part. IFRS 9 is not applied at the Parent Company and the accounting is therefore unaffected by the new accounting policies.

Note 2 Significant estimates and

assessments

Preparation of the interim report requires Company Management to make assessments and estimates as well as assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual outcome may deviate from these estimates and assessments. The critical assessments and estimates made when preparing this interim report are the same as in the most recent annual report.

Sales come from external customers, with no individual customer accounting for 10 percent or more of sales. Group Management identifies business operations as an operating segment, which is the division used by Fasadgruppen in its internal reporting. The operating segment is monitored by the Grou 's executive decisionmakers and strategic decisions are made on the basis of the operating profit for the segment.

Income outside Sweden comprises 41.7 percent (39.7) of total income for the Group for the period January to September 2023. The Group applies the percentage of completion method.

Note 4 Related party transactions

The nature and scale of related party transactions are described in the Group Annual Report for 2022.

Transactions with related parties arise in current operations and are based on business terms and conditions and market prices. In addition to ordinary transactions between Group companies and remuneration to executives and directors, the following transactions with related parties have occurred during the period: During the period 1 January to 30 September 2023, Fasadgruppen has bought and sold services from/to companies controlled by senior executives for amounts totalling SEK 1.2 million for purchased services and SEK 0.0 million for services sold linked to project-related work.

Note 6 Fair value of financial instruments

The Group has financial instruments where level 3 has been used to determine the fair value. Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss pertain to earnouts not yet settled and amounted to SEK 271.5 million as at 01/01/2023. Earnouts were settled in the amount of SEK -99.8 million during the period January to September 2023. At the end of the period, earnouts not yet settled amounted to SEK 207.5 million. The earnout amounts are mostly based on either EBITDA, EBIT or post-tax profits for the years 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and/or 2026. The earnouts are valued on an ongoing basis using a probability assessment, where an evaluation is made of whether they will be paid at the agreed amounts. Management has considered here the risk for the outcome of the com any's future rofitability

The fair value of Group financial assets and liabilities is estimated as equal to their book value. The Group does not apply netting for any of its significant assets or liabilities. No transfers between levels or valuation categories occurred in the period.

Note 8 Business acquisitions

Company acquisitions January–September 2023

During the period, Fasadgruppen completed the acquisition of all of the shares in Weldmatic A/S.

his acquisition was made to strengthen the Grou 's position geographically within balcony and forging work in Denmark. Weldmatic manufactures balconies for com anies including Fasadgru en's subsidiary ltana At its production facility in Ringsted, the company combines traditional forging with robotics, which enables high productivity, good quality and a pleasant working environment to be achieved.

The acquired company reported total earnings of around SEK 42 million and EBITA amounted to approximately SEK 8 million for the 2022 calendar year. Since the time of acquisition and up to 30 September 2023, the company has contributed SEK 7.4 million to Group net sales and SEK 2.4 million to Group EBITA.

The combined purchase consideration amounted to SEK 46.5 million, of which SEK 33.7 million has been paid in cash and cash equivalents on closing and SEK 12.8 million constituted earnouts. The outcome of the earnouts that are dependent on future operating profits achieved by the company concerned has been valued via a probability assessment for different outcomes within the term of the earnout period, which is 1–3 years.

Acquisition costs totalling SEK 1.1 million are recognised as other operating expenses.

Earnouts settled

During the period, earnouts have been paid totalling SEK 99.8 million on the basis of performance up to the end of 2022 relating to the acquisitions of Karlaplans Plåtslageri, Er-Jill Byggnadsplåt, Husby Takplåtslageri & Ventilation, Kumla Fasadteam, DVS, Byens Tag og Facade, Engman Tak, Bruske Delér and two asset acquisitions. Earnouts settled are SEK 19.0 million higher than estimated.

Acquisition analyses – company acquisitions

Some of the surplus value in the preliminary acquisition analysis has been allocated to the company brand, while unallocated surplus value has been attributed to goodwill.

The brands consist of the acquired company brands that are retained and utilised indefinitely, which is a key part of the Fasadgruppen strategy. Goodwill is primarily attributable to the expected future profitability of the business, the significant knowledge and expertise possessed by the personnel and synergies on the cost side.

Goodwill and brands have an indeterminable useful life and are not amortised but are tested for impairment annually or if such is indicated.

Auditor's Review Report

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim report for Fasadgruppen AB (publ) for the period January 1 - September 30, 2023. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the 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, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor 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. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.

Conclusion

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

Capital employed shows by how much company assets are financed by the return on this capital.

Interest-bearing net debt

Current and non-current interest-bearing liabilities plus current and non-current lease liabilities minus cash and cash equivalents. Earnouts are not included in this performance measure.

Interest-bearing net debt is used as a measure showing the Group's total indebtedness.

Net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio

Interest-bearing net debt at the end of the period divided by adjusted EBITDA for a rolling 12-month period.

The net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio provides an estimate of the company's ability to reduce its debt. It represents the number of years it would take to repay the debit if the net debt and adjusted EBITDA were to remain constant, without taking into consideration cash flow related to interest, tax and investments.

Net debt to equity ratio

Interest-bearing net debt as a percentage of total shareholders' equity

The net debt to equity ratio measures the extent to which the Group is financed by loans. As cash and cash equivalents and other current investments can be used to pay off debt at short notice, net debt is used instead of gross debt in the calculation.
