COMMENTS FROM THE CEO

Intensified measures to improve profitability and take advantage of business opportunities in a weaker market climate

We can conclude that the activity in housing construction remained at a very low level during the third quarter. This has also resulted in delays in projects related to local infrastructure, such as new blocks, access roads, and other community development, which are affecting our operations. Furthermore, throughout the year, we have experienced delays in nationally funded infrastructure projects like the West Link and Norrbotniabanan. These are large projects that will be completed, even though they are currently having a negative impact on us. Overall, the financial performance in the quarter was not satisfactory, and we have implemented additional measures to improve profitability both in the short and long term.

Intensified measures to improve profitability

rganic growth was negative at 15 % during the quarter, compared to the previous year's strong 29 %. After utilizing a significant number of subcontractors last year, we have gradually adjusted our operations to the current market climate without compromising our own

skilled employees over time.

The adjusted EBIT margin decreased to 2.1 % for the third quarter, and we are continuously evaluating and implementing measures, which have been intensified during the quarter, to achieve satisfactory and sustainable profitability. In Rock Norway, we have carried out a reorganization during the year and reduced the number of companies to create larger and more efficient units and increase synergies. We are already seeing the positive effects of this work and are continuously working on measures within Rock Sweden and Foundation Sweden.

The quarter was affected by items affecting comparability totaling SEK 12 million, which are mainly linked to a major customer, AGN, which is undergoing reconstruction. Furthermore, we have had costs linked to restructuring in Rock Norway and Rock Sweden.

Cash flow from operating activities was negative due to lower results and increased capital tied up in accounts receivable at the end of the quarter. During the first nine months of the year, we improved cash flow from operating activities compared to the previous year.

Strong profitability over time

Despite the disappointing quarter, our revenue increased by 9 % during the first nine months of the year with an adjusted EBIT margin of 5.4 %, and over the last twelve months, we have an adjusted EBIT margin of 6.1 %. Nordisk Bergteknik's position as a leading and strategic player, our diversified project portfolio, and our close customer relationships enable us to adapt to varying conditions in different geographies and segments and still deliver profitability over time.

High demand and activity in rock reinforcement and mining and prospect drilling

As part of the reorganization in Rock Norway, two rock reinforcement companies have merged to create a leading company in the Nordic region in rock reinforcement, Nordisk Fjellsikring, where we have high activity and expect continued strong demand for our services. The rock reinforcement industry has seen more projects, partly due to stricter regulations and partly due to climate effects leading to more efforts against landslides and collapses. In Norway, road and rail tunnels must be adapted to EU legislation, which will lead to increased maintenance in the future.

Although the Rock Sweden segment has been negatively affected by reduced activity in local infrastructure, it is pleasing to see that the segment continues to perform well in the service area mining and prospect drilling. This segment currently accounts for nearly 15% of the group's total revenue and has been strengthened during the year through the acquisition of Power Mining. We have significant and long-term contracts with major players and expect a continued stable increase in demand for our services. We are the country's leading player in prospecting and a trusted partner, and demand for minerals, especially in fossil-free energy technology, is expected to continue to grow in the future.

Outlook

We share the general assessment that the level of new housing projects will continue to be at a low level throughout the year, which will also have a continued negative effect on local infrastructure projects. Given this, our assessment is that Nordisk Bergteknik will continue to be negatively affected by the decline in housing construction during the last quarter of the year.

As a strategic partner and a leading player in the Nordic region, we have a strong position in the market and are well positioned to capitalize on business opportunities even in a weaker market climate. We have an adaptable operation that can handle changes in volume through reduced or

increased use of subcontractors and machinery. We have recently intensified our efforts to improve productivity and efficiency in our operations. This work will contribute positively to profitability, to some extent already during the current year.

In summary, it is our assessment that there is still a large underlying need for infrastructure investment as well as high demand for operation and maintenance services in existing transport networks and other infrastructure. Add to that the investments that are being made to make the green transition a reality over time, not least in the form of demand for minerals. All this will benefit Nordisk Bergteknik.

Group performance during the third quarter

Net sales

The group's net sales for the third quarter amounted to SEK 819.6 million (885.4), a decrease of 7 % compared to the previous year. Organic growth amounted to -15 (29) %. During the quarter, the group continued to be negatively affected by the weak development in the housing construction which led to negative organic growth in the quarter within the Foundation Sweden segment. The segment Rock Sweden also has a negative organic growth in the quarter due to the downturn in housing construction, which affects the local infrastructure with fewer project starts and delays in major national infrastructure projects. Rock Norway has a positive organic growth due to increased demand for the segment's rock reinforcement services.

EBIT

Adjusted EBIT for the group decreased by 75 % and amounted to SEK 17.2 (69.2) million for the quarter. The adjusted EBIT margin amounted to 2.1 (7.8) %. The EBIT margin was negatively affected during the quarter by the weak quarter in the Foundation Sweden and Rock Sweden segments, both of which have been affected by the decline in housing construction.

The group's EBIT amounted to SEK 5.1 (66.4) million. The EBIT margin amounted to 0.6 (7.5) % and includes items affecting comparability amounting to SEK 12.1 (2.8) million, consisting of external acquisition costs, restructuring costs and a provision for potential credit loss related to projects in the West Link for AGN, which is under reconstruction, during the quarter.

Net financial items

Net financial items amounted to SEK -32.2 (-13.3) million. The financial net has been negatively affected by results from short-term investments which amounted to SEK -8.6 (-0.2) million. The group's external liabilities have

increased in comparison to the comparable period due to completed acquisitions, furthermore the current market situation with rising interest rates has had a negative impact on the group's financial net with higher interest costs as a result.

Tax and profit for the period

The tax cost for the quarter amounted to SEK 4.3 (-12.4) million. The effective tax rate amounted to 16 (23) %. Result for the quarter amounted to SEK -22.9 (40.7) million, which corresponds to earnings per share of SEK -0.40 (0.74) before and after dilution.

Group performance January-September

Net sales

The group's net sales for the period increased by 9 % and amounted to SEK 2,638.4 (2,428.8) million. Organic growth for the period amounted to -6 (29) % and, as in the quarter, was negatively affected by the weak development in housing construction, with the Foundation Sweden segment being primarily affected.

EBIT

Adjusted EBIT decreased by 14 % during the period and amounted to SEK 142.4 (165.7) million. Adjusted EBIT margin decreased to 5.4 (6.8) %, which is attributed to the lower margin in Foundation Sweden. Rock Sweden and Rock Norway maintained margins similar to the previous year during the period.

EBIT for the group amounted to SEK 106.6 (160.1) million. EBIT margin amounted to 4.0 (6.6) % and includes items affecting comparability amounting to SEK 35.8 (5.6) million which consists of external acquisition costs, restructuring costs and a provision for potential credit loss related to projects in the West Link for AGN, which is under reconstruction.

Net financial items

Net financial items for the period amounted to SEK -62.9 (-35.3) million. The group's net financial item has been positively affected during the period by results from short-term investments which amounted to SEK 5.9 (-2.8) million. The group's external liabilities have increased compared to the comparable period because of completed acquisitions. This, in combination with higher interest rates, affects the group's financial net negatively during the period, with higher interest costs as a result, just like for the quarter.

Tax and profit for the period

The tax cost for the period amounted to SEK -11.4 (-29.7) million. The effective tax rate amounted to 26 (24) %. Profit for the period amounted to SEK 32.3 (95.0) million and earnings per share amounted to SEK 0.60 (1.70) before and after dilution.

Acquisitions

Acquisitions are a central part of the group's growth strategy and are identified based on selected criteria defined by Nordisk Bergteknik's developed acquisition strategy for continued growth.

The purchase price for the relevant acquisition usually consists of a cash part, a sellers reverse and a reinvestment in Nordisk Bergteknik AB in the form of shares, whereby the former owner becomes a long-term owner of Nordisk Bergteknik. This is in accordance with the company's acquisition strategy.

During the period January to September, Nordisk Bergteknik completed two acquisitions. The completed acquisitions have sales of around SEK 220 million on an annual basis. Further information on the completed acquisition can be found in note 10.

Nordisk Bergteknik has completed the following acquisitions during the period January-September 2023:

Power Mining OY ("Power Mining")

On February 28, 2023, Nordisk Bergteknik completed the acquisition of Power Mining including the Swedish subsidiary Power Mining Sweden. Through the acquisition, Nordisk Bergteknik establishes itself in Finland, at the same time as the offer in Sweden is further supplemented and strengthened, not least towards the mining industry.

Power Mining operates in both Finland and Sweden and is a complete supplier in underground and tunnel work and currently has around 45 employees. The company's clients are mainly found in the infrastructure area and in the mining industry. Power Mining is reported in the Rock Sweden segment.

STH Spår och Entreprenad AB ("STH")

On August 31, 2023, Nordisk Bergteknik completed the acquisition of STH and the associated real estate company, Stentäppans Fastighets AB. Through the acquisition, Nordisk Bergteknik strengthens its presence in Stockholm and Mälardalen, while at the same time broadening the offer to include concrete and rock work around track areas. STH delivers services in and around track areas and currently has around 17 employees. STH will be reported in the Rock Sweden segment.

Effects of acquisitions

If all completed acquisitions during January-September had been completed at the beginning of the financial year 2023, net sales for the group for this year would have increased by approximately SEK 63 million and amounted to approximately SEK 2,701 million, with an adjusted EBIT of around SEK 142 million, as well as an adjusted EBIT margin of 5.2 %.

Segment development

Nordisk Bergteknik divides its operations into the segments: Rock Sweden, Rock Norway, and Foundation Sweden. The operating segments are based on the group's operational management.

Rock Sweden

External net sales and EBIT-margin Per quarter

(SEK million)

Services such as drilling, excavation, and prospect drilling are offered in the Rock Sweden segment. Nordisk Bergteknik's rock handling companies offer professional work in infrastructure, construction, wind power, mining, natural environments and more.

Net sales

External net sales for the third quarter amounted to SEK 356.0 (343.7) million, an increase of 4 %. The segment's organic growth during the period amounted to -14 %. During the quarter, the segment has been negatively affected by the decline in housing construction, which impacts the local infrastructure, as well as delays in major national infrastructure projects. This has resulted in a negative organic growth for the segment.

External net sales for the period January-September amounted to SEK 1,220.6 (1,018.3) million, an increase of 20 %. The segment's organic growth during the period amounted to 2 %. The organic growth for the period is primarily attributed to increased demand for the segment's services in prospect drilling.

EBIT

EBIT for the third quarter amounted to SEK -6.1 (33.6) million. The EBIT margin decreased from a very strong 9.6 % to -1.7%. The EBIT margin has been negatively impacted by a provision for potential credit loss related to projects in the West Link for AGN and restructuring costs, totaling SEK 7.0 million in the quarter. The EBIT margin has also been negatively affected by the decline in housing construction, which impacts the local infrastructure with fewer project starts and delays in major national infrastructure projects.

EBIT amounted to SEK 65.9 (61.8) million during the period January-September. The EBIT margin amounted to 5.3 (5.9) %. EBIT and EBIT margin have been negatively affected by a provision for potential credit loss related to projects in the West Link for AGN and restructuring costs, totaling SEK 22.8 million for the period.

Rock Norway

External net sales and EBIT-margin Per quarter

Services such as drilling, rock excavation, rock reinforcement, concrete spraying, and maintenance of concrete structures, among other things, are offered in the Rock Norway segment. Nordisk Bergteknik's rock handling companies offer professional work in infrastructure, construction, wind power, mining, natural environments and more.

Net sales

External net sales in the segment for the third quarter amounted to SEK 291.7 (249.9) million, an increase of 17 %. The organic growth amounted to 13 %. The increase is primarily attributable to increased demand for rock reinforcement services.

External net sales in the segment during the period January-September amounted to SEK 761.5 (695.2) million, an increase of 10 %. The organic growth amounted to 9 %. The increase, as in the quarter, is primarily attributable to increased demand for rock reinforcement services.

EBIT

EBIT for the third quarter increased to SEK 17.3 (12.7) million. The EBIT margin amounted to 5.9 (5.1) %. The improved EBIT margin during the quarter is mainly explained by a project mix with higher profitability compared to the comparable period. The restructuring that has been carried out during the year, with the goal of improving efficiency and strengthening the customer offering, is in its final stages, and there are restructuring costs of SEK 3.4 million included in the EBIT for the segment.

EBIT decreased to SEK 31.3 (32.3) million during the period January-September. The EBIT margin amounted to 4.1 (4.6) % and is in line with the previous year. The EBIT for the segment includes restructuring costs amounting to SEK 7.8 million.

Foundation Sweden

External net sales and EBIT-margin Per quarter

(SEK million)

The Foundation Sweden segment offers services within piling, sheet piling, ground reinforcement, grouting, soil injection, soil reinforcement and groundwater lowering. The cutting-edge expertise in foundation solutions means that Nordisk Bergteknik work throughout all of Sweden.

Net sales

The external net sales during the third quarter decreased by 41 % and amounted to SEK 171.9 (291.8) million. The organic growth amounted to -41 %. The current economic situation, with a sharp reduction in housing construction and project starts, has continued to negatively impact the segment during the quarter. The decline in housing construction also affects the local infrastructure with fewer project starts.

The external net sales during the period January-September decreased by 8 % and amounted to SEK 656.3 (715.2) million. The organic growth amounted to -29 %.

EBIT

EBIT for the third quarter amounted to SEK -7.9 (24.4) million. The segment has been negatively affected by the decline in housing construction and local infrastructure, resulting in a lower EBIT margin of -4.4 (8.3) %.

EBIT for the period January-September amounted to SEK 19.3 (78.5) million. The EBIT margin decreased from 10.9 % to 2.8 %. The EBIT margin during the period has, as for the quarter, been negatively affected by the weak economy in housing construction.

Other financial information

Financial position

At the end of the period, the group's assets amounted to SEK 3,648.1 (3,327.8) million. This increase was mainly attributable to acquisitions that have been made compared to the same period last year. The group's equity has strengthened because of the new share issues and utilization of own shares for business acquisitions amounted to SEK 1,224.8 (1,151.0) million excluding non-controlling interests.

The group's net debt amounted to SEK 1,674.1 (1,338.7) million and consisted of loans to credit institutions, machine loans, acquisition loans, lease liabilities for right-of-use assets, cash and short-term investments. The group's debt ratio, measured as net debt/adjusted EBITDA, was 3.2x (3.1x). During the period, the group completed the acquisition of Power Mining and STH, which has resulted in a higher debt ratio than the group's long-term financial goal of 2.5x. Furthermore, a dividend of approximately SEK 57 million has been paid to the parent company's shareholders during the period.

The group's financing agreement contains two covenants; the group's debt ratio, calculated as the ratio between net debt and adjusted EBITDA rolling 12 months pro forma, and equity to asset ratio, calculated as the ratio between total equity and total assets.

Investments and cash flow

The cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK -97.6 (69.2) million during the third quarter and the adjusted cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK -93.1 (72.0) million (adjusted for items affecting comparability). The decrease compared to the previous year is primarily a result of lower earnings and higher capital tie-up, primarily in accounts receivable. The cash flow from investment activities amounted to SEK -36.1 (-87.0) million and mainly consisted of investments in tangible fixed assets and business acquisitions. The cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK 22.1 (26.0) million and was in line with the previous year.

The cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 96.4 (72.1) million and the adjusted cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 109.3 (77.7) million during the period January-September. The increase compared to the previous year is primarily a consequence of a lower capital tie-up, primarily in accounts receivable. The cash flow from investment activities amounted to SEK -223.7 (-312.5) million and mainly consisted of investments in tangible fixed assets and business acquisitions. Business combinations have decreased by SEK 66.8 million compared to the previous year due to fewer acquisitions in 2023. The cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -82.1 (-45.0) million. The decrease compared to the previous year is primarily a consequence of dividends paid during the period.

As of September 30, the group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 49.6 (167.5) million. The group has an unused overdraft facility of SEK 109 million and an unused revolving credit facility of another SEK 145 million and thus available liquidity of total SEK 304 million.

Personnel and organisation

As of the end of the quarter, the group had 1,212 (1,154) employees, as shown below:

Rock Rock Foundation Parent

Other information

Shares and share capital

During the period, 1,707,001 own shares were used as payment for the acquisition of Power Mining Oy. The shares were transferred to a value of SEK 46.3 million. After this transaction, Nordisk Bergteknik has no holdings of own shares. As of September 30, 2023, the number of shares and votes amounted to 57,237,867 with a share capital of SEK 572,379 corresponding to a quotient value of SEK 0.01.

Parent company

Nordisk Bergteknik AB's operations are covered by head office functions such as group-wide management and finance functions. Net sales consist of management fees that are invoiced to the subsidiaries. Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 10.3 (6.9) million. Profit/loss before appropriations and tax amounted to SEK 0.9 (-6.1) million. The financial net in the parent company amounted to SEK -1.9 (-4.6) million. The improvement is mainly attributable to higher interest income from group companies, as well as higher positive exchange rate differences in the quarter.

Net sales for the period January-September amounted to SEK 28.1 (21.0) million and profit/loss before end-of-year appropriations and tax amounted to SEK -21.5 (-22.6) million.

The parent company's total assets amounted to SEK 2,153.7 (1,829.1) million. The increase was mainly attributable to completed acquisitions during 2022 and 2023. As of September 30, equity amounted to SEK 988.2 (952.5) million.

Significant events after the reported period

No significant events have occurred after the end of the reporting period.

Seasonal effects

There are certain seasonal effects that affect the group's operations within the Rock Norway segment and refers to the rock reinforcement business in Norway, whose sales and earnings are lower in the fourth quarter and first quarter due to the weather conditions during winter. Other segments have no clear seasonal effects, but sales and earnings are rather largely dependent on project mix. In order to counter revenue reduction as a result of seasonal effects, Nordisk Bergteknik works to ensure that there are projects that run over the winter months and reallocates resources within the group. Due to its size, the group has a greater opportunity to counter seasonal effects.

Significant risks and uncertainty factors

Nordisk Bergteknik's operations are affected by several risks whose effects on earnings and financial position can be controlled to varying degrees. The construction industry is largely affected by macroeconomic factors, for example general, global or national economic trends, raw material prices, growth, employment development, amount of infrastructure projects, regional economic development, population growth, inflation and changing interest rates. There is a risk that one or more of these factors can develop negatively for the company.

More detailed information about the group's risks can be found in the annual and sustainability report for 2022.

The preparation of an interim report requires management to make assessments and estimates as well as assumptions that affect the application of the accounting principles and reported amounts for assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual outcome may differ from these estimates and judgments. Important estimates and assessments appear from the annual report for 2022.

Revenue from contracts with customers

The Group provides services in a number of different service areas, such as drilling, extraction, exploration, rock safety and piling.

Note 8 Financial instruments

Interest-bearing assets and liabilities' respective fair values may differ from their carrying amounts, partly as a result of changes in market interest rates. The fair values of these assets have been determined by discounting future payment flows at the current interest rate for equivalent instruments. For financial instruments such as accounts receivable, accounts payable and other non-interest-bearing financial assets and liabilities, which are reported at accrued acquisition value subtracting any write-downs, the fair value is deemed to correspond to the carrying amount. The following table shows the Group's financial instruments by category and valuation level. There have been no transfers between the valuation levels during the year. Short-term investments that are valued at fair value in the income statement are based on available market value on the balance sheet date.

Business acquisitions

All acquired companies are reported in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the acquisition method, meaning that the purchase price paid is allocated to acquired assets and liabilities based on their respective fair value. The purchase price for the acquisition of a subsidiary consists of the fair value of transferred assets, liabilities that the Group incurs to previous owners of the acquired company and the shares issued by the Group. For each acquisition, i.e. acquisition by acquisition, the Group decides whether non-controlling interests in the acquired company are reported at fair value or at the non-controlling interests's proportionate share in the carrying amount of the acquired company's identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed when they arise and are reported in the Group's consolidated income statement.

Reconciliation of carrying amount for goodwill

The table below shows the year's change in the carrying amount of goodwill. In the included carrying amount, there are no accumulated write-downs and no write-downs have been reported during the period January - September 2023.

* Restructuring costs consist of external costs in connection with the merger/restructuring of companies (SEK 5.1 million accumulated and SEK 2.5 million in the quarter) and costs for redundant staff in connection with the merger/restructuring (SEK 3.5 million accumulated and SEK 1.3 million in the quarter). External costs refer to costs such as legal costs, new website costs, consulting costs, auditor costs and costs for moving to a new business system.

** Provision for potential credit loss related to projects in the West Link for AGN. On 24 January 2023, the Swedish Transport Administration terminated the contract with one of the major contractors, AGN, which was responsible for part of the West Link. The project concerns the sub-stage Haga A08 in E04 Haga Station, where Nordisk Bergteknik was a subcontractor for AGN. AGN is currently undergoing reconstruction where the outcome is uncertain and the reconstruction has been extended until December 19, 2023. Considering that the outcome of the reconstruction is uncertain, Nordisk Bergteknik has chosen to reserve approximately 75% of the outstanding claim on AGN. This means that approximately SEK 11.6 million remains as an outstanding claim on AGN.

External acquisition related costs, restructuring costs and provision for potential credit loss are reported in the line External costs in the group's consolidated income statement. The result effect of the additional purchase price is reported in the line Other operating income in the group's consolidated income statement.

In Q3 2023, Nordisk Bergteknik has chosen to include restructuring costs and provision for potential credit loss as items affecting comparability. In connection with this, the comparison figures for Q1 and Q2 2023 have also been updated, which affects the key figures items affecting comparability, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBIT margin, adjusted cash flow from operating activities and net debt/adjusted EBITDA LTM.

Definitions of alternative performance measures

Guidelines regarding alternative performance measures for companies with securities listed on a regulated market within the EU have been issued by ESMA (The European Securities and Markets Authority). The interim report refers to a number of undefined measures in accordance with IFRS that are used to help both investors and management to analyse the company's operations. Because not all companies calculate financial measures in the same way, these are not always comparable with measures used by other companies. These financial measures should therefore not be regarded as compensation for measures defined in accordance with IFRS. Below we describe the various measures not defined in accordance with IFRS that have been used as a complement to the financial information reported in accordance with IFRS and how these measures are used. For reconciliation of alternative key ratios, see the website https://nordiskbergteknik.se/sv/rapporter-och-presentationer/

Key ratios Definition Justification for use of measures
Organic growth, % Change in net sales compared with the same
period last year, adjusted for currency translation
effects and acquisitions. Acquisitions are adjusted
for by excluding net sales for acquisitions during
the period and including net sales for the entire
period for the acquisitions that have been made in
the previous year and that have not been consoli-
dated during the entire period last year. Currency
effects are calculated using the exchange rates of
the previous period for the current period.

Review report

To the Board of Directors of Nordisk Bergteknik AB (publ) Corp. id. 559059-2506

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Nordisk Bergteknik AB (publ) as of 30 September 2023 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director 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 International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information 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 practices and consequently does 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, 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.
