• Despite uncertainty in the market, the aim is for Spolargruppen, for the year as a whole on a comparative basis, to achieve organic growth that is at least in line with Spolargruppen's long-term financial targets and profitability (proforma adjusted EBITA margin) in line with or close to the preceding year.
The new Group was established on 28 April 2022.

(All comments and figures in the CEO comments refer to Spolargruppen proforma for the third quarter unless specifically stated)
In the seasonally quieter third quarter, we could report healthy sales growth in all of our service areas despite markets remaining cautious in parts of the business. Spolargruppen reported sales growth of 18.5% to SEK 233.0 million (196.6) for the quarter. The adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 14.5 million (4.1) for the quarter corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 6.2% (2.1) and 7.9% excluding new establishments.
It was gratifying during the quarter that all service areas – pipe relining, pipe inspection, flushing and geothermal – reported growth that far exceeded the long-term financial target of organic growth of more than 10%. In addition, the EBITA margin strengthened 2.1% to 7.9% adjusted for new establishments.
We noted an earnings improvement in the Swedish business in the quarter due to a healthy performance in many large units including the pipe relining business in southern Sweden and in our operations in geoenergy and pipe inspection. The Danish operations continued to perform weakly, although we see signs of market conditions improving, which together with a number of key recruitments means that we have high hopes of improving earnings over the next few quarters.
Our newly established operations in pipe relining in Lidköping, Borås, Linköping and Örebro performed in the right direction despite a sluggish start to the year, with sales in line with the seasonally strong second quarter. Sales amounted to SEK 8.8 million and the negative impact on the margin for Spolargruppen as a whole was 1.7%. In the long term, we continue to expect new establishments and acquired operations to achieve growth and adjusted EBITA margins in line with Spolargruppen's longterm financial targets.
Furthermore, the quarter was dominated by a focus on Spolargruppen's academy and on efforts to establish Spolargruppen as a market leader in sustainability. Access to talented personnel is crucial for the Group's success and the academy will help attract and retain the market's best employees by offering further training. As part of sustainability initiatives, Spolargruppen received ISO 26000 certification
during the quarter, which highlights our commitment to delivering high-quality and sustainable solutions to our customers. These strategically important areas impact the share of central overheads, although these will level out as volumes rise.
Over the last 12 months, we reported an adjusted EBITA of SEK 101.8 million corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 9,9%. We are currently working on a number of initiatives to strengthen profitability, including a general review of project pricing, efficiencies in staffing and planning, and a general more intense focus on costs. Given the prevailing uncertainty concerning the economy and interest rates, focus in the quarters ahead will be directed on profitability rather than growth. We will also strive to uphold our strong finances, meaning that we will prioritise acquisitions that are strategically important and create clear value even in the short term.
Our long-term financial targets for Spolargruppen remain organic growth exceeding 10% and an adjusted EBITA margin of 15%. In the third quarter, we continued to deliver growth that exceeds our long-term financial target and improved profitability compared with last year.
During the quarter, we further strengthened our position in pipe relining in the Finnish market by acquiring the relining business of the listed Finnish company Consti Building Services. The operations generate sales of approximately SEK 60 million and this acquisition means that Spolargruppen has assumed a leading position in Finland. As previously communicated, the operations in Finland had a total adjusted EBITA margin that is lower than the average for Spolargruppen, which entails a negative impact on Spolargruppen's overall margin for the year. However, with the leading market position that has been established and synergies between the operations, we believe that over time the Finnish business will be able to contribute to Spolargruppen's long-term financial profitability targets.
In addition to the announced acquisitions, we remain engaged in a large number of discussions, and have high hopes that we will be able to complete several transactions over the next few quarters.
During the year, we announced our aim to list Tebede's share on the main list of the Nasdaq Stockholm Stock Exchange and thus move over from First North. We were delighted to ring the bell on 23 October and thus achieve yet another milestone. We view the move to the main list as a mark of quality that creates better conditions for a broader base of shareholders and higher share liquidity.
The Parent Company Tebede's impact on the Group's adjusted EBITA in the quarter was SEK -2.7 million, of which personnel costs accounted for SEK -1.5 million.
The positive long-term trend driving Spolargruppen's markets is expected to continue even if rising interest rates and costs could postpone investment levels in the Nordic housing market for a period of time. At the same time, there is increased interest in energy-saving projects such as pipe inspection and geothermal solutions for apartment buildings. With the uncertainty among our customers in pipe relining, a sluggish start for our new establishments and the incorporation of the Finnish operations with, to date, an overall lower margin than for Spolargruppen as a whole, there is the risk that our performance in the seasonally strong fourth quarter will not be able to fully compensate for this. Having said this, our the aim for the year as a whole on a comparative basis is to achieve organic growth that is at least in line with Spolargruppen's long-term financial targets and profitability (proforma adjusted EBITA margin) in line with or close to the preceding year, and where we, after adjusting for the aforementioned factors, see an underlying healthy performance and improved profitability.
Stockholm, 6 November 2023

Anders Lönnqvist CEO, Tebede
Tebede, through its wholly owned subsidiary Spolargruppen, is the Nordic market leader in pipe relining, pipe flushing, maintenance and sealing of ventilation ducts, as well as other complementary services that are sold and performed in the same market channels such as geothermal solutions for apartment buildings. The single largest field of activity consists of pipe relining and pipe flushing. The Group's end customers consist of property owners, primarily commercial managers of homes and premises, public housing and housing cooperatives.
Tebede has a clear growth strategy with a focus both on acquisitions and on organic growth, including through establishments in new locations. The Group has high quality and sustainability ambitions,
and aspires to be the most attractive employer in the industry. In total, the Group has 500 employees and some 20 offices across Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland.
The Nordic market for pipe relining and pipe flushing is estimated to be just over SEK 9 billion for the current year (2023). Market growth over the past five-year period has been 12% per year and is expected to grow at about the same rate in the years ahead. Sweden is the single largest market and currently represents 60% of the total Nordic market. As the market is fragmented, there are good opportunities to grow both organically and through acquisitions.

Operating income amounted to SEK 217.4 million (115.9), and consisted of income from pipe relining of SEK 144.3 million (69.1) and pipe flushing of SEK 73.1 million (46.8). As such, operating income has been stable during the quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA amounted to SEK 25.3 million (6.9) corresponding to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 11.6% (5.9). Earnings before amortisation and depreciation of tangible and intangible assets (EBITDA) amounted to SEK 21.9 million (1.3) corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 10.1% (1.1). Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 11.1 million (-2.9) corresponding to an adjusted margin of 5.1% (-2.5). Items affecting comparability primarily comprise transaction costs and costs related to the change of listing. For more information, see the table below.
Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to SEK 4.7 million (-11.3) corresponding to an operating margin of 2.2% (-9.7). Operating profit continues to be charged by investments of new establishments, primarily in pipe relining. These investments are strategically important but have an initial negative earnings effect.

The accounting policies and methods of calculation applied in this interim report are in accordance with the policies described in the 2022 Annual Report.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, RFR 1 Supplementary Reporting Rules for Groups, as well as the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) as adopted by the EU. This interim report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost convention.
The Group was founded on 28 April 2022 when Tebede acquired Spolargruppen. The Tebede Parent Company was founded on 30 March 2021. With the acquisition of Spolargruppen, the Tebede Parent Company has changed its financial year, which was previously from 1 August to 31 July, to the calendar year. The preceding financial year is therefore 1 August 2021 to 31 December 2022.
The company operates with one operating segment.
For a description of the risks connected to the Group's operations, see the 2022 Annual Report as well as below.
Elevated benchmark rates and volatile exchange-rate fluctuations could lead to higher financing costs for Tebede and the development of this is monitored carefully. Tebede's end customers consist of property owners, primarily commercial managers of homes and premises, public housing and housing cooperatives. As such, Tebede is impacted by macroeconomic factors and cycles that impact the property industry. To date, we have yet to note any elevated risk in terms of our accounts receivable.
The ongoing war in Ukraine has impacted society at large through, inter alia, disrupted production and increased energy prices. However, Tebede assessed that market demand for pipe relining and pipe flushing in the geographies in which the Group is active is unchanged.
Significant estimates and judgements are unchanged from those described in the Note 2 of the Group's 2022 Annual Report.
No transactions between the Tebede Group and its related parties have materially impacted the Group's financial position or profit/ loss for the period. For a more detailed description of the company's management of transactions with related parties, refer to the annual report for the 2022 financial year, Note 27 of the Group's notes and Note 9 of the Parent Company's notes.

TIssued series 2021:2 and 2021:3 warrants offer the company the possibility to conduct settlement through net strike. This means there is a variability in the number of shares that will be issued and the fixed for fixed condition in IAS 32 is therefore not fulfilled. In the event of net settlement, the company uses its own shares as payment to settle the existing obligation.
The number of shares issued depends on the fair value of the company's shares on the settlement date. Series 2021:2 and 2021:3 warrants are therefore recognised in accordance with IAS 32 and classified as financial liabilities and not as equity. The Group's issued investor warrants and earnouts are classified as financial liabilities and are measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
The change in value is recognised in profit or loss in financial items.
After the end of the quarter, the offer to repurchase warrants announced on 13 September 2023 was executed, which reduced the number of series 2021:2 warrants and series 2021:3 warrants outstanding by just over 60%. This will result in lower volatility in the company's financial items in the quarters ahead.

At the end of the third quarter, the value of liabilities connected to series 2021:2 and 2021:3 warrants outstanding amounted to SEK 23.5 million.
Series 2021:2 and 2021:3 warrants are valued according to level 1 and are, as of the balance-sheet date, respectively valued at SEK 12.4 million, 4,134,814 at SEK 3.00 (SEK 8.1 million, 4,384,814 at SEK 1.84 as of 31 December 2022) and SEK 11.1 million, 4,220,771 at SEK 2.64 (SEK 6.9 million, 4,470,771 at SEK 1.55 as of 31 December 2022) and recognised as other current liabilities.
During the 1 July – 30 September 2023 quarter, SEK -4.2 million (7.2) was recognised as a financial cost in the Group and the Parent Company as a result of a remeasurement of warrants. During the 1 January – 30 September 2023 period, SEK -9.9 million (12.0) was recognised as a financial cost in the Group and the Parent Company as a result of a remeasurement of warrants. On the balance-sheet date, 8,855,585 warrants (8,855,585 as of 31 December 2022) were outstanding (series 2021:2 and 2021:3), of which 8,355,579 (8,855,579 as of 31 December 2022) were possible to exercise.

Contingent consideration: The company usually uses an acquisition structure with a base consideration and contingent consideration for corporate acquisitions.
In each quarter, the contracts and conditions that govern the size of the earnouts is assessed. Based on this assessment, remeasurements of the size of the earnouts can occur. Remeasurements were conducted in the quarter, which provided an earnings effect corresponding to SEK 6.4 million (–). During the 1 January – 30 September 2023 period, remeasurements were conducted in the quarter, which provided an earnings effect corresponding to SEK 6.4 million (–).
The contingent consideration falls due for payment within three years and is limited to not more than SEK 117.9 million (92.0 as of 31 December 2022). During the 1 July – 30 September 2023 quarter, SEK 0.8 million (-0.2) in interest was recognised in net financial income concerning earnouts. During the 1 January – 30 September 2023 period, SEK 0.0 million (-0.4) in interest was recognised in net financial income concerning earnouts.

As of the balance-sheet date, acquisition analyses are preliminary. At the time the financial statements were authorised for issue, the Group had not yet completed the accounting for the business combination. In particular, the fair values of the assets and liabilities disclosed above have only been determined provisionally as the independent valuations have not been finalised.
Suomen Sukittajat Oy was acquired on 2 January and has contributed SEK 61.8 million and SEK 4.0 million in net sales and operating profit (EBIT) during the period.
Dansk Ventilationsforing ApS was acquired on 28 February 2023 and has contributed SEK 9.5 million, of which SEK 4.8 million in internal sales and SEK 0.2 million in net sales and operating profit (EBIT) respectively during the period. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2023, proforma total net sales and operating profit (EBIT) as of 30 September 2023 would have been SEK 11.5 million and SEK 0.6 million respectively. These amounts have been calculated using the subsidiary's results and adjusting them for differences in the accounting policies between the Group and the subsidiary, and the additional depreciation and amortisation that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments had applied from 1 January 2023, together with the consequential tax effects. The same principle has been used for all acquisitions.
On 28 April 2023, the acquisition of the share capital of RPL Talotekniikka Oy was completed and the company has contributed SEK 10.5 million and SEK -1.0 million in net sales and operating profit (EBIT) respectively during the period. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2023, proforma total net sales and operating profit (EBIT) as of 30 September 2023 would have been SEK 18.1 million and SEK -1.2 million respectively.
Repipe Norrköping was acquired on 15 June 2023 and has contributed SEK 3.8 million, of which SEK 0.4 million in internal sales and SEK 0.1 million in net sales and operating profit (EBIT) respectively during the period. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2023, proforma total net sales and operating profit (EBIT) as of 30 September 2023 would have been SEK 8.8 million and SEK 0.8 million respectively.
RELINER Oy was acquired on 29 September 2023 and has contributed SEK 0.0 million and SEK 0.0 million in net sales and operating profit (EBIT) during the period. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2023, proforma total net sales and operating profit (EBIT) as of 30 September 2023 would have been SEK 46.2 million and SEK 1.4 million respectively.
Acquisition-related costs during the 1 July–30 September quarter of SEK 1.6 million (5.6) are included in other operating expenses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and in operating activities in the cash-flow statement. Acquisition-related costs during the 1 January–30 September period of SEK 7.3 million (23.9) are included in other operating expenses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and in operating activities in the cash-flow statement.
