Unless otherwise stated, all comparison figures are for the corresponding period previous year. The alternative key figures and definitions that have been used in this report are described on page 27. Due to rounding, some of the tables and calculations in the report are not always exact.
Green Landscaping Group continued to make progress in the first quarter. Net sales increased by 43 percent and profitability, expressed as EBITA margin, reached 6.9 percent. In addition to that, we had a record-strong cash flow.
Winter conditions prevail in the first quarter, which is low season for many of our companies. The demand for ground maintenance during this time of year is limited, but compensated to some extent by winter and ice removal activities. In every season of the year however, these services are necessary and independent of economic fluctuations. The nature of the market is stable, thereby enabling both us and our customers the ability to make plans that stretch over the long term. Given the level of political, economic and other challenges and crises in the world around us, not least the war in Ukraine, it is comforting to be doing business in a market that is relatively stable and predictable. For landscaping and construction activities however, the conditions are somewhat different and although we approach the high season with high order backlog, the signals we are getting from customers concerning the fall are a bit more uncertain. We monitor the development closely. Over the long term, the macro trends of urbanization, population growth and a general increase in demand for better outdoor environments with a focus on sustainability still prevail.
Green Landscaping Group delivered strong growth also in the first quarter. Net sales increased by 43 percent to SEK 1,250 million. Organic growth was 12 percent, which is attributable to indexation adjustments included in our customer contracts, as well as new agreements that were signed. Our newly acquired companies contributed with 33 percent and changed exchange rates had an impact of –2 percent.
EBITA amounted to SEK 86 (61) million and the EBITA margin was 6.9 (7.0) percent. Many of our subsidiaries are continuing to deliver good results and it is once again particularly satisfying to see the improvement in our handful of Swedish companies that have been struggling with lower profitability for a long time. A change to the mix had a negative impact on profitability in Norway, and the Lithuanian company UAB Stebule has gotten off to an impressive start with us, making a significant contribution to the Finland and Baltic segment. The Group's EBITA margin for the most recent 12 months amounted to 8.3 percent, thus exceeding our financial target of 8 percent.
Cash flow from operating activities was record-strong, amounting to SEK 221 (148) million, which is attributable to our high earnings and lower need for working capital. Net debt has thus declined compared to year-end 2022 and net debt in relation to EBITDA pro-forma RTM amounted to 2.2 (2.3) times, which is well under our financial target of 2.5 times.

"It is once again particularly satisfying to see the improvement in our handful of Swedish companies that have been struggling with lower profitability for a long time"
Our efforts to bring additional companies into the Group have continued behind the scenes, as we simultaneously have put much effort into making sure that our newest acquisitions get off to a good start with us. It's been much needed, given the intensity of our activities towards the end of last year, when we made 4 acquisitions, and a total of 11 for the full year. The conditions in the acquisition market have changed, stemming in part from higher interest rates than what we've seen in many years and recent turbulence in the finance market. What we've noticed is that many of the competitors we have encountered in the M&A market in recent years are now keeping a lower profile. The decision we made several years ago to take a rather conservative approach with our level of indebtedness is paying off today. We have continuously been able to generate a profit and positive cash flow. We also have strong cash reserves, an increased loan facility and debt to equity level that is the lowest it has been in many years, all of which makes us well equipped to pursue further expansion via acquisitions. We have many exciting candidates on our list and are pursuing a dialog with several of them. We are thus ready, willing and able for all that lies ahead. Given how hard and methodically we have worked to get where we are today, I feel that our position and success, despite all the uncertainty in the surrounding world, is deserved and it offers us the prerequisites for continued growth and success.

Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 1,250 (876) million, which is an increase of 43 percent and of which, acquired companies contributed 33 percent and the contributions from Markbygg Anläggning Väst AB, Aktiv Veidrift AS and Braathen Landskapsentreprenør AS were particularly significant.
Organic growth amounted to 12 percent and it was positively impacted by good demand and indexation of prices due to the high rate of inflation. The first quarter of the year is when the majority of snow and ice removal activities take place. The demand can therefore vary from one region to the next, with significant local differences. Overall, for many of the Group's subsidiaries, the winter season has conformed with what can be expected in a normal year, except for northern Sweden, where snowfall was higher than normal.
Changed exchange rate had an impact of –2 percent on net sales, which is primarily attributable to a weaker NOK currency against SEK.
Operating profit increased by 43 percent to SEK 56 (39) million. EBITA also increased by 41 percent and amounted to SEK 86 (61) million, corresponding to a margin of 6.9 (7.0) percent. The overall good demand and successful streamlining efforts has had a positive impact on earnings. To a large extent, it has been possible to compensate for the rising inflation by raising prices in agreements that have indexation clauses. Existing companies increased earnings by 11 percent, while acquired companies contributed 34 percent. Changed exchange rates had an impact of 5 percent, compared to the corresponding period previous year. Several of the companies that were acquired since the second quarter of 2022 have low level of activity during the first quarter, which intensifies the Group's seasonal variation. Transaction costs for acquisitions amounted to SEK 0 (–3) million.
Financial items amounted to SEK –10 (–18) million. The impact on net financial items from interest on loans and lease liabilities was SEK –19 (–6) million, from currency gains/losses the impact was SEK 21 (–6) million, and the impact from discounting the liability for additional consideration was SEK –9 (–2) million. Profit for the period amounted to SEK 34 (14) million, which corresponds to basic earnings per share of SEK 0.63 (0.27). Tax expense for the quarter was SEK –11 (–7) million.

Growth net sales


Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 221 (148) million. The stronger cash flow is primarily attributable to changes in working capital, which contributed SEK 175 (110) million, along with a higher operating profit.
Payments for business combinations for the quarter amounted to SEK –1 (–221) million and investments in intangible assets and PPE amounted to SEK –37 (–15) million.
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK –59 (51) million, of which new loans were SEK 14 (140) million and amortized loans were SEK –28 (–34) million. The amount of amortization on lease liabilities during the quarter was SEK –45 (–31) million.
Depreciation of PPE amounted to SEK –51 (–30) million and amortization of intangible assets amounted to SEK –30 (–22) million.
Equity attributable to the Parent Company's shareholders amounted to SEK 1,244 million, which is a decrease of SEK 57 million compared to year-end 2022. Currency revaluation of foreign operations lowered equity in the quarter by SEK 92 million.
Available liquidity amounted to SEK 631 (382) million, which includes cash and cash equivalents, along with bank overdraft of SEK 50 (50) million.
At the rate that the Group acquires companies, the balance sheet total significantly increases between reporting periods. Intangible assets decreased by SEK 89 million compared to yearend 2022, which is primarily a consequence of amortization and currency effects. Intangible assets are primarily comprised of customer relations, brands and goodwill that has arisen from acquisitions. Right-of-use assets increased by SEK 34 million compared to year-end 2022, which is primarily attributable to new leases that have been entered into.
Net debt amounted to SEK 1,681 million, which is a decrease of SEK 119 million compared to year-end 2022, stemming from both amortization and currency effects. Net debt, not including lease liabilities, amounted to SEK 1,197 (at year-end 2022, it was SEK 1,355 million). Indebtedness, expressed as net debt in relation to EBITDA pro-forma RTM amounted to 2.2 (2.3) times.

Q1 2023 - Green Landscaping Group AB (publ) 4
Net sales for Segment Sweden increased by 18 percent and amounted to SEK 703 (597) million. Organic growth amounted to 9 percent and it was positively impacted by good demand and indexation of prices due to the high rate of inflation. Snowfall in the northern part of Sweden was higher than normal in many places, which positively impacted demand. For the central and southern regions of Sweden, the demand for winter-related services was essentially in line with a normal season. Acquisitions contributed 9 percent to growth, primarily via Sorex Entreprenad AB.
EBITA increased and amounted to SEK 57 (43) million in the first quarter. The positive profitability trend continued and the EBITA margin increased to 8,1 (7.2) percent. Most companies have continued the trend of gradually improved earnings, but there are still significant differences in profitability from one company to the next. Rising costs due to the high rate of inflation was compensated for via indexation adjustments.

Net sales for Norway increased substantially and amounted to SEK 500 (270) million. Organic growth amounted to 20 percent and most companies reported good growth figures. High organic growth was attributable to both indexation adjustments motivated by the high rate of inflation, along with new contracts that were won. As in prior quarters, acquisitions were responsible for the majority of growth, with Aktiv Veidrift AS, Braathen Landskapsentreprenør AS, and H&K Sandnes AS contributing the most. Changed exchange rates had an impact on net sales of –6 percent, which is primarily attributable to a weaker NOK currency against SEK. The order backlog remains strong.
EBITA was unchanged and amounted to SEK 37 (37) million. The EBITA margin weakened and amounted to 7.4 (13.5) percent. Companies that have joined the Group since the second quarter of last year have profit margins in line with the Group goal, which has diluted the margin for the segment overall. In addition, some companies also have a low level of activity in the first quarter, which leads to a more prominent seasonal pattern compared to previous years. Exchange rate differences impacted earnings by –6 percent.

Net sales amounted to SEK 47 (10) million, corresponding to a growth rate of 354 percent, of which organic growth was 10 percent. UAB Stebule, which joined the Group in the fall, has performed well and it was responsible for the majority of growth. Exchange rate fluctuations contributed 6 percent, which is primarily attributable to a stronger EUR currency against SEK. The order backlog is stable.
EBITA improved and amounted to SEK –5 (–4) million, with a corresponding margin of –10 (–43) percent. Finnish companies are only involved in winter snow and ice removal services to a limited extent. When assessing a segment's performance, it is important to consider seasonal variation, which is particularly prevalent in the first quarter and the impact of this was heightened by the acquisition of Taimisto Huutokoski Oy, which is a garden center. On the other hand, the Lithuanian company, UAB Stebule, has operations year-round, so its sales and profitability are more evenly distributed across each quarter of the year. Exchange rate differences impacted earnings by 6 percent.

Operating activities involve several risk factors that could impact the Group's business and financial position. The risks are primarily associated with operating activities such as delivery quality, tendering, and delivery efficiency. Weather is another external risk that could impact earnings. To counter such risks, the company strives to have a mix of agreements with fixed and variable remuneration. It also strives to share the risks with customers and subcontractors.
Because of uncertainties in the world around us and the changed economic circumstances with higher inflation and higher fuel prices, there is a risk of cost increases for the Group. In most of our customer agreements, indexation of prices based on inflation is done. The content of contracts regulates when indexation may occur, typically, on an annual basis. This is why there is a delay between when costs rise and prices are adjusted. Statistics on the expenditure of Swedish municipalities since 2011 show an increase of spending in areas where the Group does business. The variation between years is small and there is no clear correlation between spending levels and business cycles.
Through its operations, the Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks, such as credit risk, market risks (interest rate risk and other price risks) and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management is focused on unpredictability in the financial markets and efforts are aimed at limiting the potential negative effects on the Group's financial results.
The Group's financial transactions and risks are managed by the CFO and the Parent Company's other senior executives, along with the board of directors. The Group's overall goal for financial risks is to limit the negative effects on the Group's earnings due to market changes or other factors in the surrounding world.
Changes in the economic situation in 2022 and thus far in 2023 have meant that, in general, credit risk has increased and it is thus being carefully monitored. The majority of the Group's customers are in the public sector in terms of its net sales, thus, the risk of this customer group having difficulty paying is assessed as low.
Market interest rates have risen sharply during the year, and thus also the Group's interest expenses. The Group's performance and decision-making have only been marginally impacted by the higher interest rates.
The Group is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily the NOK currency, but to a smaller extent, also the EUR relative to SEK. The currency exposure is associated with the foreign subsidiaries' sales, earnings and equity, along with goodwill that has arisen in conjunction with acquisitions. The revenue and expenses of foreign subsidiaries is primarily in their own local currencies, which means that the direct impact of currency fluctuations in the subsidiaries themselves is limited. The percentage of consumables used in the business that are impacted by currency fluctuations is low and thus, thereby only having a limited impact on the Group's position.
The Group is primarily impacted by fluctuations in the NOK currency relative to SEK. Sales for Region Norway during the quarter were SEK 500 (270) million. A change in the exchange rate of 5 percent affects the quarter's sales by approximately SEK 25 (14) million and EBITA by approximately SEK 2 (2) million.
The Group is also affected by EUR fluctuations having to do with the businesses in Finland and Lithuania. Sales for Finland and Lithuania during the quarter were SEK 47 (10) million. A change in the exchange rate of 5 percent affects the quarter's sales by approximately SEK 2 (0) million and EBITA by approximately SEK 0 (0) million.
The corresponding effect on the net assets in the Norwegian subsidiaries (including goodwill that has arisen in conjunction with the acquisitions) of an exchange rate change of 5 percent is approximately SEK 54 million based on carrying amounts at the end of the period. For the Finnish operations, a change in the exchange rate of 5 percent affects assets by approximately SEK 17 million.
Any impact is reported directly in other comprehensive income and does not affect the net profit. The Group does not hedge currencies by buying or selling currency on futures or with other financial instruments.
For more information on the risks and uncertainties, please see the Annual Report and Sustainability Report for 2022.
A financing agreement was expanded by SEK 500 million in loan facilities.
There were no significant transactions between Green Landscaping Group and related parties during the period that impacted the company's position and earnings. Besides remuneration to senior executives and some members of the executive management team hold stock options as part of the Group's incentive program, there have not been any other transactions between Green Landscaping Group and related parties.
The Parent Company's net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 9 (9) million. Operating profit (loss) amounted to SEK –7 (–4) million. Employee benefit expenses and other external costs have risen slightly compared to last year.
Financial items for the quarter amounted to SEK 142 (112) million, of which dividends received were SEK 139 (125) million, interest expenses SEK –25 (–6) million and currency gains/losses were SEK 25 (–6) million.
Financial assets have decreased by SEK 13 million since 31 De-
cember 2022, which is attributable to currency effects. Liabilities have decreased by SEK 49 million since 31 December 2022.
The interim report was prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. This interim report for the Group was prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the applicable parts of the Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554), The Parent Company applies the Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The Group and Parent Company apply the same accounting policies and calculation methods and assessments as described in the most recent Annual Report. The Parent Company does not apply IFRS 16, which is in accordance with the exception stated in RFR 2. A more detailed description of the Group's accounting principles, along with both new and future standards is reported in the most recently published Annual Report.
Green Landscaping Group AB (publ) is the holder of the Group account. The total amount in the Group account is reported as cash and cash equivalents in the Parent Company. Subsidiaries' share of the Group account is reported as a receivable/payable to Group companies. The Group has granted overdraft of SEK 50 (50) million, which was unutilized at the end of the period.
Operations are affected by seasonal variations. The service offering also varies with each season. During the summer, a full range of ground maintenance services is offered such as cleaning, lawn mowing, pruning, planting, harvesting and road maintenance. Also offered is a wide assortment of planning and construction services for creating outdoor environments. During winter, there is a high volume of snow and ice removal services. Project activities are also carried out during winter, weather permitting. Sales and earnings in any given quarter are affected by the season. For Green Landscaping Group operations, the first quarter of the year is low season. Sales are lower then, which has a negative impact on earnings. The level of activity increases starting in April through December.
Green Landscaping Group's shares became listed for trading on Nasdaq Stockholm on 16 April 2019. The share has been listed on Nasdaq Stockholm Midcap since year-end 2021.

* In the interim report for January-March 2022, paid-out additional consideration of SEK 70 million was reported as a change in current liabilities, which is a component of the cash flow from operating activities. This has now been corrected and reclassified to business combinations, which is a component of the cash flow from investing activities. The effect for the period January-March 2022 is that the cash flow from operating activities was SEK 70 million higher and investments in business combinations increased by SEK 70 million.

Green Landscaping Group did not make any acquisitions during the first quarter of 2023. Some minor adjustments have been made to the acquisition analyses for companies acquired in 2022. During 2022, a total of eleven acquisitions were completed in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Lithuania. According to agreements on contingent additional consideration, the Group must make additional cash payments based on future results. Contingent consideration to be paid by the Group based on the future results of current and prior year acquisitions is a maximum of SEK 230 (222) million. Additional consideration is based on the terms in the purchase agreement, the company's knowledge of operations and how the current economic climate is expected to impact them. The values in the table below have been discounted to present value and the liability as of the end of the period amounted to SEK 189 (186) million. The fair value of contingent consideration is at Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy in accordance with IFRS. An assessment has been made of how the valuation of the consideration is impacted by changes in non-observable inputs or the correlation between them. Neither the changes in these nor the correlation has been assessed as having a material impact on the valuation of the consideration. Goodwill of SEK 3 (617) million that has arisen from acquisitions represents future economic benefits, but which have not been identified and are reported separately. Tax deductible goodwill amounts to SEK 38 million (at 31 December 2022, it was SEK 39 million).
Acquisition costs for the quarter amounted to SEK 0 (3) million.
No acquisitions were made during the first quarter of 2023. The acquisitions from last year are presented below.

Green Landscaping Group is a home for entrepreneurs. The service areas it is involved in are landscaping and construction, ground maintenance and snow & ice removal.
It is becoming multi-national, with the spirit of small company entrepreneurship by acquiring successful companies with these qualities: skilled in their trade and professionally run, sound values and a track record of high profitability. Entrepreneurial spirit is a central theme in the Green Landscaping family. Once acquired, companies run their business as before, yet with the benefits of a larger group and access to a network of colleagues working in the same field, along with more opportunities to develop on a professional level. They become part of an environment with access to the larger company's resources. As the Group grows and develops, benefits flow to customers, employees and owners alike.
The Group has a long-term perspective and the companies that belong to it have a home here.
The market for outdoor environments is fragmented and locally anchored, with long-term customer relationships and a high level of repeat business. Companies typically have very strong ties in the communities where they do business and have established working methods and structures over a long period of time, giving them a strong identity. Retaining and continuing to nurture that is
thus a key element of Green Landscaping's decentralized operational model and subsidiaries have full commercial responsibility and great freedom to run the business under their own brand. The model is based on a high level of trust and freedom with responsibility. The Group and region levels exist primarily to support the individual companies. Collaboration between companies in the Group is encouraged, although it happens at their own initiative. Where synergies have been identified, it is also up to the companies themselves whether or not to act on them, if they feel the commercial prerequisites exist.
Green Landscaping Group conducts business in Sweden, Norway and Finland and Lithuania. Green Landscaping's stock became listed on Nasdaq First North under the ticker "GREEN" in March 2018. In April 2019, Green Landscaping changed its marketplace to Nasdaq Stockholm Small cap and in January 2022, it changed once again to Stockholm Mid Cap.
