Our vision is to change the world of digging and with our strategy and longterm approach I am convinced that we will succeed in this.

Despite a challenging global situation, we have taken important steps in our growth journey with a strong increase in sales in the Americas and reduced dependency on the Nordic region. Order intake stabilised in the Nordic region and Europe following a period of decline and is clearly rising in the Americas. The strong cash flow and operating profit, which was in line with our own expectations, has left us well positioned to realise our strategy and meet the challenges ahead.
Following a decline in order intake for several quarters, we are now seeing signs of stabilisation with organic order growth of 2 per cent. The order intake of SEK 347 million is in line with the preceding quarter and previous years.
We are continuing to consolidate our position in the US market where we posted order growth of 28 per cent. The situation in Europe is more fragmented, with parts of the European market showing clear signs of improvement while challenges persist in others. Following the end of the quarter, we entered into an agreement with an important distributor in the DACH region and secured a major order from a French machine rental company, which is an important breakthrough given that the rental market is generally difficult to access. Combined with a stabilised order intake, this builds confidence for the future.
The trend in the Nordic region remains cautious with order growth of 9 per cent from low levels. The market is difficult to predict due to high interest rates and uncertainty, which is leading to shrinking excavator sales at the same time as dealers still have stocks left, a factor that is also impacting demand. The high penetration rate in the Nordic region makes this market considerably more cyclical than Europe and Americas. The global development of the company has led to less dependency on the Nordic region, which accounted for 39 per cent (54) of net sales for the quarter.
Global uncertainty remains high and we do not believe that the relatively low price increases planned and short lead times will result in the same strong pre-ordering effects in the fourth quarter as in previous years.
Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 391 million, which is slightly over our expectation considering the order intake for recent quarters. The gross margin for the quarter was 40 per cent (45) and was negatively impacted by lower volumes, completed campaigns and a less advantageous product mix. Investments in the global sales organisation and the replacement of business systems led to a decline in operating profit of 47 per cent to SEK 55 million. The operating margin for the quarter amounted to 14 per cent (25).
Investments in our logistics hub in the US are proceeding according to plan and are expected to be operational in the first quarter of 2024.
Cash flow is strong due to a decline in accounts receivable and a reduction in inventory. We are continuing to optimise and reduce inventories and our assessment is that the positive cash flow will continue into the next quarter.
We have a long history of profitable and capital-efficient growth and we are well equipped to meet the challenges that an uncertain business environment can present in the years ahead. We can see that the investments made in our sales organisation have yielded results in our growth markets. Growth in the Americas and positive development in parts of Europe are an indication that we are on the right path. We are determined in our efforts to move forward – we know that our products generate profitability for our customers both in economic downturns and upswings. Our vision is to change the world of digging, and with our strategy and long-term approach I am convinced that we will succeed in this.

Of total net sales in the period, Sweden accounted for SEK 216 million (310).
Order intake during the quarter amounted to SEK 347 million (324), an increase of 7 per cent (-5), and organic order growth was 2 per cent (-11).
Order growth was somewhat positive during the quarter, mainly in the Americas, but also in the Nordic region albeit from low levels. The order level was on a par with the preceding year in Europe while the trend in Asia-Oceania was negative. The order intake was weak as a result of geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty, which led to lower willingness to invest among our customers.
Net sales during the quarter amounted to SEK 391 million (416), a decline of 6 per cent (16) and organic net sales growth of -11 per cent (11).
The Nordic region and Europe reported negative net sales growth, while the Americas and Asia-Oceania reported growth. The third quarter was characterised by lower net sales impacted by delivery of large parts of the order book in the first quarter combined with a lower order intake in recent quarters. Despite lower sales in the quarter, we can confirm that we recorded higher sales and considerably improved earnings for the January to September period compared with the year-earlier period.


Q3-22 Q4-22 Q1-23 Q2-23 Q3-23

Order intake during the period amounted to SEK 1,096 million (1,425), a decrease of 23 per cent (19), corresponding to organic order growth of -27 per cent (15).
Order growth was negative for the period in all regions except the Americas, which recorded a somewhat positive order intake. The order intake was weaker as a result of strong pre-ordering effects in previous periods combined with geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty.
Net sales during the period amounted to SEK 1,590 million (1,397), an increase of 14 per cent (25), corresponding to organic net sales growth of 8 per cent (20).
All market regions except for the Nordic region reported increased net sales growth, with the Americas and Asia-Oceania reporting the strongest growth, followed by Europe. Sales were a result of a strong order book at the start of 2023.
Gross earnings for the quarter amounted to SEK 157 million (187), a decrease of -16 per cent (18). The gross margin for the quarter amounted to 40.2 per cent (45.0). The decline compared with previous quarters is due to lower volumes, completed campaigns and a less advantageous product mix.
EBIT for the quarter amounted to SEK 55 million (104), a decrease of 47 per cent (14). The operating margin was 14.1 per cent (25.0).
The cost for the change of the Group-wide business system amounted to SEK 7 million (6) during the quarter. Implementation of the business system will commence in the final quarter of 2023 and will continue in the years ahead.

Gross earnings during the period amounted to SEK 678 million (595), an increase of 14 per cent (24). The gross margin amounted to 42.7 per cent (42.6).
EBIT for the period amounted to SEK 357 million (294), an increase of
21.0 per cent (19.0). The operating margin was 22.5 per cent (21.0).
The operating margin improved due to high sales, an improved margin and cost control, primarily in the first quarter, which was characterised by a high order book combined with short delivery times. The cost for the change of the Group-wide business system amounted to SEK 25 million (16) during the period. Implementation of the business system will commence in the final quarter of 2023 and will continue in the years ahead. The preceding year also included IPO costs of SEK 17 million.
The effect of derivative instruments amounted to SEK 11 million (-16) for the period. Net financial items for the period amounted to SEK -5 million (13). Profit before tax for the period amounted to SEK 352 million (306).
Income tax for the period was SEK -76 million (-72). The effective tax rate for the period amounted to 21.6 per cent (23.5).
Total profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 276 million (235).
Investments in intangible and tangible assets and right-of-use assets amounted to SEK 9 million (10) for the quarter and SEK 79 million (62) for the period. The investments were mainly attributable to a newly signed lease for a logistics hub in the US and development costs for the third generation tiltrotator. Depreciation and amortisation of tangible and intangible assets amounted to SEK 11 million (10) for the quarter and SEK 33 million (29) for the period.

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 108 million (63) for the quarter and SEK 390 million (160) for the period, which was mainly attributable to improved operating profit in the period and reduced capital tied up in accounts receivable and inventory, but was negatively impacted by tax paid and reduced accounts payable.
Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -13 million (-7) for the quarter and SEK -42 million (-30) for the period. The investments were mainly attributable to property plant and equipment and development costs for the third generation tiltrotator.
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -14 (-42) for the quarter and SEK - 236 million (-309) for the period. The change is a result of loan repayments, a reduction in bank overdraft facilities and a dividend paid in the second quarter of 2023.
Total cash flow from operations amounted to SEK 81 million (14) for the quarter and SEK 112 million (-179) for the period.

Inventory amounted to SEK 324 million on 30 September 2023 compared with SEK 443 million on 31 December 2022. The strong net sales in the first quarter of 2023 resulted in reduced capital tied up in inventory. Accounts receivable declined to SEK 270 million on 30 September 2023 compared with SEK 347 million on 31 December 2022.
Net debt was lower than in the third quarter of 2022 and equity was higher, taking into account the profit generated and the fact that a dividend was paid in the second quarter of 2023. As a result, the equity/assets ratio is stronger than in the third quarter of 2022. The Group had unutilised credit facilities of SEK 320 million at the end of the quarter compared with SEK 182 million on 31 December 2022. Including cash and cash equivalents, the Group's unutilised total liquidity amounted to SEK 440 million (212). The Group's existing credit facility amounted to SEK 320 million (318).


In September, engcon participated in the The Utility Expo in Louisville, Kentucky.
• engcon's objective is to exceed the growth in the existing markets¹ through organic growth.
• engcon's targets an operating margin (EBIT margin) in excess of 20 per cent measured over a business cycle.
• engcon will continue to achieve an industry-leading capital efficiency. Return on capital employed (ROCE) to exceed 40 per cent measured over a business cycle.
• engcon will maintain a strong capital structure supporting further expansive organic growth and dividends to shareholders. Equity/assets ratio to be above 35 per cent.
• engcon will pay approximately 50 per cent of net profit in dividends. The dividend proposal will consider engcon's long-term development potential, financial position and investment needs.
• engcon is to combat climate change by reducing emissions of Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gases by 42 per cent by 2030 from a base year of 2021. The targets are verified by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). For more information, see the 2022 Annual and Sustainability Report 2022 pages 26–27.
¹ The focus market is estimated to increase with a compound annual growth rate of approximately 19 per cent during the 2021–2026 period, according to the Strategy& (PwC) market report 2022.
engcon is, by way of its operations, exposed to various risks that may give rise to variations in earnings and cash flow. Significant risks and uncertainties include industry and market risks, operational risks and financial risks. Risks and uncertainties are consistent with the description contained in the 2022 Annual Report, pages 38-42, with the addition of what is stated below. The Annual Report is available at www.engcongroup.com.
Although the prevailing global situation had some impact on engcon's operations during the year, engcon will be further affected going forward. The uncertainty related to the prevailing external and economic situation with high inflation, interest-rate hikes, currency effects and geopolitical turbulence could entail a negative impact for engcon. This could take the form of reduced demand and a cautious approach to placing orders despite a return to more normal delivery times and less noticeable shortages of components with a stabilisation of price levels of components, raw materials and electricity.
The Board and Group management continue to closely monitor developments and the potential effects these could lead to. One price increase was completed in 2023, on 1 January, to offset the increased costs.
In May, the Swedish Patent and Market Court announced its verdict regarding Rototilt's lawsuit against engcon alleging infringements by engcon of Rototilt patented technology. The damages claimed amount to approximately SEK 200 million. The alleged infringement relates to sensor technology in the Q-safe locking system. The court determined that no infringement had taken place and therefore dismissed Rototilt's action. At the same hearing, engcon claimed that Rototilt's patent should be declared invalid. However, the court determined that the patent was valid. Following appeals, both parties were granted leave to appeal by the Swedish Patent and Market Court. A ruling in the higher court is expected in spring 2024 at the earliest.
In consultation with experts in the field of patent law engaged by engcon as well as with the company's legal advisors, engcon has assessed that no patent infringement has taken place and thus no provision for this has been made in the accounts. In April 2022, engcon appealed the decision to grant the patent in question to the European Patent Office (EPO) and requested that the patent be declared invalid. Processing of this matter in the EPO is ongoing.
The average number of full-time employees at the end of the quarter amounted to 446 (422), of whom 22 per cent (19) were women and 78 per cent (81) men.
Seasonal variations have little impact on engcon's operations and diminish successively on account of sales in several markets, which contributes to a more even earnings trend over the course of the year. The fourth quarter is normally characterised by a
higher order intake, partly as an effect of forthcoming price increases.
The company's registered share capital at 30 September 2023 amounted to SEK 21,250,320, distributed among 35,344,778 class A shares and 116,443,222 class B shares.

Auditor's review report of the interim report prepared in accordance with IAS 34
To the Board of Directors and CEO of engcon AB, Corp. Reg. No. 556647-1727
We have reviewed the interim report of engcon AB as of 30 September 2023 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report 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 is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do 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.
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, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Parent Company.

The fair value of the Group's financial instruments, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
The company has a loan receivable amounting to SEK 0 million (2) to a French counterpart that does not solely include contractual cash flows in the form of repayment and interest and is therefore categorised at fair value through profit or loss. The loan was repaid as of 31 December 2022. The instrument was considered as level 2, since it was measured through calculation of discounted cash flows with interest and the credit margin as per the balance sheet date.
The company holds derivatives that are measured at fair value at level 2 through profit or loss. At 30 September, there was a receivable (liability) amounting to SEK 4 million (16). The measurement method is discounting of contractual cash flows with interest and currency on the balance sheet date.
No transfers were made between level 1 and level 2 during the current or prior years.
The company is of the opinion that the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of the fair value of all financial instruments.

In 2022, former preference shares were converted to ordinary shares. Since no capital was raised in conjunction with this, the number of ordinary shares were adjusted retroactively, which had an immaterial effect on earnings per share. In earlier periods, earnings per share before and after dilution
were affected by the dividend on preference shares. Formula for calculation of earnings per share: earnings per share = (profit/loss for the period – dividend on preference shares)/average number of ordinary shares outstanding.
Operating segments are accounted for in a way that is consistent with the internal reports submitted to the chief operating decision maker. Group management and the CEO have been identified as the chief operating decision makers for assessment of the Group's earnings and position, as well as making strategic decisions. Group management and the CEO monitor the financial development in the Group as a unit. Accordingly, only one segment is recognised, which corresponds with the consolidated income statement. The reason that the Group is monitored as a segment is that earnings measures are only monitored at total level, since production and other overall costs are central for the Group and not distributed among the geographical market regions. Only the regions' sales and order intake in volume are monitored at a level lower than the operating segment.
The Group's sales are divided into four geographic market regions:
Internal sales are conducted between the production companies and the local sales companies, as well as between the local sales companies. Sales and installations are mainly conducted through dealers and our own local sales companies.

In 2021, the Board resolved to introduce a long-term incentive programme in the form of a warrant programme for employees in the engcon Group. The purpose of the program is to encourage broad-based share ownership amongst the company's employees, facilitate recruitment, maintain competent employees, increase the alignment of interests between the employees and the company's shareholders and increase motivation to reach or exceed the company's financial targets. As of 30 September, 215 (222) engcon employees were participating in the warrant programme. A total of 1,517,880 warrants were issued, of which as of 30 September 2023 1,218,285 (1,321,785)

Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one share in engcon at an agreed future price. Warrants are conditional on a vesting period of five years. To participate in this programme, employees encompassed by the programme pay a premium that is based on the fair value of allotted warrants that are measured in accordance with the Black & Scholes model. Therefore, for this programme, no cost is recognised during the vesting period since employees have paid the fair value.
