CEO comments

We continue delivering on our strategy of gathering the best entrepreneurs in our sector under one roof and are able to conclude that our growth during the year has been very strong, despite all the uncertainty in the world around us.

The compound annual growth rate (CAPR) over the last three years amounts to 31 percent and the corresponding growth of EBITA is 101 percent.

We continue to deliver

Revenue for the year has increased by 45 percent, of which 7 percent is organic, to SEK 3.2 (2.2) billion, driven both by the strong demand from our customers and more companies having joined the Group via acquisition. EBITA increased by 63 percent to SEK 242 (148) million and in conjunction with that, the EBITA margin increased by approximately one percentage point to 7.6 (6.7) percent. For 12-months rolling, the margin is 7.9 percent, which is in line with our financial target. Diluted earnings per share increased by 56 percent. Cash flow increased by 69 percent to SEK 216 (128) million.

Compared to the first half of the year, there was an even higher growth rate in the third quarter, yet with a slightly lower margin of 7.6 (9.0) percent. We have specific times in our customer agreements when indexing can take place, normally annually, and therefore there is a delay from the time costs have increased until the price is adjusted. Higher interest rates and rising inflation, signs of a weaker economy and an uncertain geopolitical situation are things that impact us negatively. In that context, we are pleased that the margin is still so strong, at 7.6 percent and we are optimistic about our performance in the next quarter.

Our order backlog remains strong at just over SEK 7 billion, most of which is contracts in the public sector.

New acquisitions strengthen our position in Sweden and Norway

We are continuously evaluating new potential acquisitions and are very selective in our process. We have a decentralized model that is proven to work, where companies retain their decision-making authority and responsibility, while helping to boost the size and cumulative knowledge of the Group. We can see that our offering is attractive.

During the third quarter, we welcomed two new companies to the Group via the acquisition of Braathen Landskapsentreprenør AS in Norway, with annual sales of approximately NOK 300 million and Sorex Entreprenad AS in Sweden with annual sales of approximately SEK 70 million. Both companies are run by skilled entrepreneurs with excellent knowledge of the conditions in their local market. They also share our values, which is important to us in our selection of companies to acquire.

New market and more acquisitions after the end of the period

In October, Green Landscaping Group acquired UAB Stebule in Lithuania, which represents its first acquisition outside the Nordic region. The company has 330 employees and annual sales of approximately SEK 130 million. Our strategy in to increase our presence in more countries so that we can bring in the best entrepreneurs. We want to build local clusters of at least 3-4 companies so that it generates synergies.

Two additional companies were acquired after the end of the period: HK Sandnes in Norway with annual sales of approximately SEK 140 million and Taimisto Huutokoski in Finland with annual sales of approximately SEK 35 million. In total, the three companies contribute around SEK 300 million in annual sales, with good profitability.

A home for entrepreneurs

So far during the year, we have added a total of ten new companies to the Group in these countries: Sweden, Norway, Finland and Lithuania. As of the end of September, Green Landscaping Group had 44 operating subsidiaries.

Here at Green Landscaping Group, talented entrepreneurs are the foundation for our success and by serving as a catalyst for discussion and knowledge exchange, we create the prerequisites for all of us to improve. When new entrepreneurs join the Group, it facilitates even more knowledge sharing and makes us all stronger. Our aim is to be a home for the best entrepreneurs in our industry.

Leadership and cultural issues are important to us and clearly linked to profitability. We work methodically to inject the required expertise and set up the structure that is needed at any of our subsidiaries. We do this by getting the best entrepreneurs in the Group involved and via our dedicated LEAN team.

Despite all the uncertainty in the world around us, I'm happy to conclude that we continue to reap success with our strategy.

Johan Nordström CEO

THE GROUP'S PERFORMANCE

Sales and earnings in the third quarter

Revenue for the quarter amounted to SEK 1,176 (766) million, which is an increase of 54 percent. Organically, revenue increased by 12%.

EBITA for the quarter was SEK 89 (69) million. Acquisition costs of SEK 4 (2) million are included in operating costs. Financial items amounted to SEK –2 (–9) million. There was a positive effect on net financial items of SEK 6 million from a revaluation of additional consideration. Profit for the period amounted to SEK 48 (30) million, which corresponds to basic earnings per share of SEK 0.89 (0.58). Tax expense for the quarter was SEK –13 (–9) million.

Sales and earnings, January – September

Sales for the period amounted to SEK 3,186 (2,204) million, which is an increase of 45 percent. Organically, revenue increased by 7%.

EBITA for the period was SEK 242 (148) million. Acquisition costs of SEK 10 (4) million are included in operating costs. Financial items amounted to SEK –26 (–23) million. Profit for the period amounted to SEK 106 (60) million, which corresponds to basic earnings per share of SEK 1.98 (1.22). Tax for the period January to September amounted to SEK –39 (–12) million.

Order backlog

At the end of the quarter, order backlog was SEK 7,031 (5,160) million. The volume of our order backlog has increased compared to last year, primarily due to the Group having grown by adding several new companies and winning new contracts.

Over time, there is a correlation between the size of order backlog and sales. But this is not necessarily the case over the short term. The reason is that large, long-term contracts are procured with intervals of 5-10 years. When customers renew their contracts with Green Landscaping, it has a significant impact on the order backlog.

As of the end of the quarter, Green Landscaping Group consists of 44 operating subsidiaries, all of which share the same passion for creating and maintaining outdoor environments. The Group is gathered under six geographic segments. Reporting is by segment on net sales, operating profit (loss) and profit margin.

Sales per segment, % January - September

KPIs REGION SOUTH

Sales per quarter and LTM, SEK million

Region South

Sales for the period July – September amounted to SEK 148 (125) million, with an operating profit of SEK 14 (15) million. The margin amounted to SEK 9.2 (12.0) percent.

Sales increased for the companies in Region South for the period and overall, they are reporting stable profitability. Order intake was higher in maintenance companies than it was last year, with several new large contracts that are driving up sales. For construction work as well, the order intake was higher, which is in part attributable to needs that were suppressed during the pandemic. The margin is impacted by overall rising prices that we haven't been able to fully compensate for. The work with price adjustments takes place continuously.

Order backlog for companies in the region is strong for the remainder of the year.

Region Mid

Revenue for the period July-September amounted to SEK 283 (232) million, with an operating profit of SEK 4 (10) million. The margin amounted to SEK 1.5 (4.4) percent.

There was a positive impact on sales from the acquisition of Markbygg Anläggning i Väst AB, which was not part of the Group at this same point last year. Profitability is on par with the previous year YTD but lower in the quarter. Improvement work to increase profitability is underway in Region Mid, which temporarily drives costs. Furthermore, inflation affects somewhat in the third quarter, which is addressed with index adjustments.

During the quarter, Stena Fastigheter decided to renew its maintenance agreement with us. It has a total value of approximately SEK 20 million over a duration of 4 years.

Region Stockholm

Revenue for the period July-September amounted to SEK 137 (142) million, with an operating profit of SEK 3 (6) million. The margin amounted to SEK 2.5 (4.0) percent.

Sales for companies in the region were somewhat lower than last year, which is primarily attributable to discontinuation of the former business unit, Stockholm North. That aside, we can see that there is a positive underlying sales growth in the existing companies.

The profitability trend is strongly positive and the margin up 5 percentage points YTD. The margin in the quarter was somewhat weak, affected by increased costs linked to above all transport and fuel, which we estimate will be addressed in the coming quarters in line with index adjustments.

A new maintenance contract with the City of Stockholm was won during the quarter for Järva Friområde. The contract value is approximately SEK 4.5 million. Order backlog for companies in the region remains strong.

Sorex Entreprenad AB was acquired during the period, with expected annual sales of approximately SEK 70 million.

Region North

Revenue for the period July-September amounted to SEK 84 (75) million, with an operating profit of SEK 8 (9) million. The margin amounted to SEK 9.6 (12.2) percent.

Sales remained strong thanks to high capacity utilization and add-on sales. The margin is slightly lower however, which is primarily attributable to higher costs for such things as fuel and subcontractors who are not able to fully compensate for that via indexation.

Examples of new contacts that were won include a new maintenance agreement with AB Gavlegårdarna for maintenance of Brynäs and Hemsta for a value of slightly more than SEK 6 million.

Revenue for the period July-September amounted to SEK 505 (217) million, with an operating profit of SEK 59 (26) million. The margin amounted to SEK 11.7 (12.1) percent.

Thanks to several new acquisitions that were made last year, sales for the region increased substantially compared to last year. Our existing companies also delivered results that were above expectations. The margin is somewhat lower due to higher cost pressure. Order backlog remains stable and several companies won new contracts during the period.

Braathen Landskapsentreprenør AS was acquired during the quarter. The company has expected annual sales of approximately NOK 300 million. Subsequent to the end of the period, the Norwegian company, H&K Sandnes AS, was acquired with annual sales of approximately NOK 140 million.

Region Finland

Revenue for the period July-September amounted to SEK 58 (30) million, with an operating profit of SEK 7 (5) million. The margin amounted to SEK 12.7 (17.6) percent.

Region Finland delivered sales and earnings on a par with what was expected and a stable order backlog. However, costs were higher in several companies, which somewhat impacted profitability. Region Finland currently consists of four companies. Subsequent to the end of the period, Taimisto Huutokoski OY was acquired with annual sales of approximately EUR 3.5 million.

OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Financial position

Consolidated equity amounted to SEK 1,137 million, which corresponds to an increase of SEK 241 million compared to 2021-12-31. Earnings for the period amount to SEK 106 million and net transactions with shareholders amount to SEK 111 million. Currency revaluation of foreign operations increased equity in the period by SEK 24 million. Since 2021-12-31, repurchase of shares amounts to SEK 47 million, redemption of options to SEK 29 million and non-cash issues to SEK 85 million. Those funds have been used for acquisition of subsidiaries. As of 2022-09-30, the number of own shares amounts to 95,795.

Available liquidity amounts to SEK 370 million, compared to SEK 402 million on 2021-12-31, which includes cash & cash equivalents, along with bank overdraft of SEK 50 million (SEK 50 million as of 2021-12-31).

Because the Group is continuously making new acquisitions, its balance sheet total increases substantially from one reporting period to the next. Intangible assets increased by SEK 543 million since 2021-12-31 and they primarily consist of customer relations, brands and the goodwill that arises in conjunction with acquisitions. Right-of-use assets increased by SEK 131 million

The company's net debt increased by SEK 525 million to SEK 1,561 million during the reporting period, due to acquisitions that were made. The higher level of indebtedness is primarily attributable to having utilized the existing credit facility, along with higher lease liabilities. Net debt divided by EBITDA pro-forma RTM was 2.7 times (compared to 2.4 times as of 2021-12-31).

Cash flow, investments and depreciation/amortization

Consolidated cash flow from operating activities for the quarter was SEK 53 (–13) million. Cash flow from changes in working capital amounted to SEK –68 (–80) million.

Business combinations for the quarter amounted to SEK –132 (0) million and investments in intangible assets and PPE amounted to SEK –20 (–17) million.

Cash flow from financing activities for the quarter amounted to SEK 88 (–91) million, with new loans of SEK 155 (1) million and amortized loans of SEK –30 (–76) million.

Depreciation of PPE for the quarter amounts to SEK –39 (–28) million and amortization of intangible assets amounts to SEK –25 (–21) million.

Employees

The average number of employees during the quarter was 2,335, compared to 1,922 employees during the same period last year.

Risks and uncertainties

Operational risks

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. To compensate for that, we are continuously adjusting our prices to customers, albeit with a slight delay, which is why it has temporarily affected our margins.

Financial risks

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 minimizing 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 minimize the negative effects on the Group's earnings due to market changes or other changes in the surrounding world.

For more information on the risks and uncertainties, please see the Annual Report for 2021.

Significant events after the end of the period

Acquisition of H&K Sandnes AS, UAB Stebule and Taimisto Huutokoski Oy with annual sales of approximately SEK 300 million.

COVID-19

The Covid-19 pandemic had a slight negative impact on the business during the first few months of the year. There were, for example, fewer meetings with customers and clients, resulting in fewer orders and delays in some of our projects. Employees on sick leave also had a negative impact on the organization due to loss of production.

Transactions with related parties

There were no transactions between Green Landscaping Group and related parties during the period that significantly impacted the company's position and earnings.

Parent Company

The Parent Company's net sales for the period amounted to SEK 8 (9) million. Operating profit (loss) amounted to SEK –2 (–1) million. Employee benefit expenses and other external costs have risen slightly compared to last year.

Financial items amounted to SEK –5 (–5) million. Financial assets have increased by SEK 250 million during the quarter and by SEK 742 million since 31 December 2021, which is primarily attributable to the acquisition of subsidiaries. Liabilities have increased by SEK 431 million since 31 December 2021. The higher borrowings have primarily been used to finance the acquisition of subsidiaries.

Accounting policies

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.

Cash pool

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 an overdraft facility of SEK 50 (50) million and as of 30 September 2022, the unutilized amount was SEK 50 (50) million.

Foreign currency

The Group is primarily exposed to fluctuations of the SEK against the NOK and EUR currencies. The currency exposure is associated with the foreign subsidiaries' sales, earnings and equity, along with goodwill that has arisen in conjunction with those acquisitions. The revenue and expenses of foreign subsidiaries is primarily in their local currencies, which means that the direct impact of currency fluctuations in the subsidiaries is limited. There is some impact from the effect of currency fluctuations on consumables that are used in the business.

In terms of sales, the Group is primarily impacted by fluctuations in the NOK currency relative to SEK. Sales for Region Norway during the quarter were SEK 505 (217) million. A change in the exchange rate of 5 percent affects sales by approximately SEK 20 (11) million and EBITA by approximately SEK 2 (1) 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 60 million based on carrying amounts at the

end of September 2022. For the Finnish operations, a change in the exchange rate of 5 percent affects assets by approximately SEK 8 million.

Any impact is reported directly in equity and does not affect the net profit. It is, however, part of the comprehensive income. During the year, sales in EUR were limited but the scope is expected to increase during the coming year. The Group does not hedge currencies by buying or selling currency on futures or with other financial instruments.

Seasonality

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.

Share information

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 the start of 2022.

Note 3 Business combinations

During 2022, Green Landscaping Group has completed seven acquisitions in Sweden, Norway and Finland. During the prior financial year, a total of nine subsidiaries were acquired. For all of the acquired companies, 100 percent of the shares were acquired.

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 162 (97) 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 30 September amounts to SEK 149 million. The fair value of contingent consideration is at Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy in accordance with IFRS.

Goodwill of SEK 399 (253) million that has arisen from acquisitions represents future economic benefits that are neither individually identified nor separately reported.

Acquisitions for the period Jan-Sept 2022 amount to SEK 10 million (compared to SEK 6 million for the period Jan-Dec 2021).

Reconciliation of KPIs not defined in accordance with IFRS

The company presents certain financial measures in its interim report that are not defined in accordance with IFRS. The company feels that these measures provide valuable, supplementary information to investors and company management. Accordingly, the measures should be regarded as a supplement, rather than a replacement for measures defined in accordance with IFRS. Because Green Landscaping Group's definitions of these measures might differ from other companies' definitions of the same concepts, an explanation of how they are calculated is provided below. For more information on the purpose of each measure, please see "Definitions and explanations" at the end of this report.

Auditors' review report

Green Landscaping Group AB (publ.), reg no. 556771-3465

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated interim financial information (interim report) of Green Landscaping Group AB (publ.) as of September 30, 2022 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this condensed consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed consolidated interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 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 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.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated interim financial information is not prepared, in all material aspects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for the Group and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for the Parent company.

Green Landscaping Group in brief

Green Landscaping works with outdoor environments and infrastructure. Through its subsidiaries, it offers the most comprehensive service portfolio on the market, aimed at making outdoor environments more sustainable and safe.

With commitment and collaboration, we develop independent, competitive companies with a focus on customer value, quality and sustainability. We conduct business in Sweden, Norway and Finland and Lithuania. In Sweden, the business is divided into the following four regions: South, Middle, Stockholm and North.

We are professional in everything we do. At the center of it all is our skilled, experienced employees who inspire our customers, helping them realize their dreams of creating beautiful, functional outdoor environments. We also offer care and maintenance services that maximize the lifespan of these outdoor environments. For the 2021 financial year, we had approximately 1,600 employees and annual sales of approximately SEK 3.2 billion.

Our history

Green Landscaping was established in 2009 via a merger of the following four companies: ISS Landscaping, Jungs, Mark & Trädgårdsanläggare Sjunnesson and Qbikum.

In 2010, the company took the name Green Landscaping and it also acquired Miljöbyggarna in Stockholm. Since then, we have developed into a full-scale supplier in the market for construction

and maintenance of outdoor environments.

Green Landscaping's strategy between 2009–2014 has been to increase sales and become a leading player in the market. Companies that were acquired during that period were, among others, Jacksons Trädvård and GML Sport.

In 2015, we began the process of implementing a new strategy and governance process based on Policy Deployment, a system inspired by Danaher Corporation. Since then, a number of operational efficiencies have been implemented to increase profitability and create a platform for profitable growth.

Since 2017, Green Landscaping Group has been focusing on profitable growth via both organic growth and acquisitions. Between 2019 and 2021, the number of companies has increased substantially and the Group has been decentralized. The governance process has also been adapted accordingly, based on maturity and profitability.

Since 2020, Green Landscaping Group has had operations in Norway, since 2021 in Finland and since 2022 in Lithuania.

The Parent Company has been listed on Nasdaq Stockholm since 2018. The ticker symbol is GREEN. Since January 2022, Green Landscaping Group's stock is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm Mid Cap.
