Demand in the quarter remained generally favorable, although with variations between geographic regions and customer segments. In relative terms, operations in the Nordic region were stronger and contributed organic growth, while demand in the rest of Europe and Asia was impacted to a greater degree by a weaker economic climate and specific external factors, such as the war in Ukraine. Inflation continued to fuel cost increases, which were offset with equivalent price increases, while supply chains increasingly stabilized.
Lesjöfors noted mixed demand, although with major variations between geographic regions and customer segments. Volumes in the Chassis Springs business area were significantly lower, partly due to the discontinuation of sales to Russia, but were also lower in the rest of Europe. Within Industrial Springs, the Nordics were the strongest region. Demand was also favorable in the North American market, which has become increasingly important for Lesjöfors. Both Asia and Central Europe are facing a more uncertain economic situation and weaker demand in general, but most notably greater volatility between customer segments and countries. The acquired companies Alcomex, Plymouth Spring and John Evans' Sons all contributed profitable growth.
For Beijer Tech, which operates in the Nordic market, demand was stable and particularly strong in Norway. This contributed to favorable organic growth and a continued positive margin development. Acquisitions also contributed further profitable growth.
Habia Cable, which was divested in October, had a good final quarter in the Group, with favorable order bookings, revenue and profitability.
The acquisition of the US company John Evans' Sons, which holds a strong position in springs for the medical device industry, was completed at the beginning of the quarter. The focus has initially been on business development and integrating the company into the Group. Further opportunities for growth and synergies will be created within the Lesjöfors Group.
In October, Lesjöfors also acquired the Turkish company Telform, a successful manufacturer of industrial springs for a diversified customer base in the domestic and European markets. Through this acquisition, Lesjöfors is expanding its production footprint and low-cost manufacturing capabilities.
The divestment of Habia Cable to HEW-Kabel was completed in October. As a result, we have ensured continued scope for creating value through investments and acquisitions in Lesjöfors and Beijer Tech. This will strengthen our strategic focus in a more uncertain world, where we need to be agile and able to accelerate and brake at the same time as needs and opportunities arise.

Order bookings in the quarter rose 22 percent year-on-year to MSEK 1,377 (1,132). Excluding acquisitions and fluctuations in exchange rates, order bookings declined 3 percent. Net revenue rose 31 percent to MSEK 1,483 (1,133). Excluding acquisitions and fluctuations in exchange rates, the increase in revenue was 3 percent. Price increases to compensate for higher costs and raw material prices contributed to the increase in revenue.
The Group delivered a positive sales trend, with revenue growth noted in both Beijer Tech and Lesjöfors, although Lesjöfors's discontinued sales to Russia continued to have a negative impact on the company's revenue, earnings and margin. Sales to Ukraine were at a similar level as before the war started.
Operating profit before items affecting comparability totaled MSEK 200 (197), corresponding to a margin of 14 percent (17). The lower margin was mainly attributable to reduced sales in Lesjöfors's Chassis Springs business area, both to the Russian market as well as to the rest of Europe.
Earnings per share including discontinued operations increased to SEK 2.71 (2.14), the return on shareholders' equity for the third quarter was 19.3 percent (22.4), and the return on capital employed was 14.9 percent (19.7).
Cash flow from operating activities including Discontinued operations totaled MSEK 150 (271). The inventory has increased some, but accounts recievable adjusted for acqusitions have decreased in the period. Cash flow from investing activities amounted to MSEK -57 (-52), while cash flow from financing activities totaled MSEK 938 (621), which includes Lesjöfors´ acquisition of John Evans´ Sons. At the end of the third quarter, the equity ratio was 38 percent (44) and the net debt/equity ratio was 74 percent (48).
Order bookings during the first three quarters of the year increased to MSEK 4,254 (3,438), an increase of 24 percent. Adjusted for acquisitions and fluctuations in exchange rates, order bookings were unchanged year-onyear. Net revenue rose 32 percent to MSEK 4,404 (3,347). Excluding acquisitions and fluctuations in exchange rates, the increase was 6 percent.
Adjusted for items affecting comparability, operating profit totaled MSEK 628 (583) and profit after net financial items amounted to MSEK 582 (516). Earnings per share including discontinued operations increased year-on-year and amounted to SEK 8.63 (7.32). During the first quarter, the company's assets in Russia were impaired by MSEK 25, which was recognized as an item affecting comparability. No further provisions have been made for Beijer Alma's Russian operations.
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to MSEK 313 (527), cash flow from investing activities to MSEK -149 (-113) and cash flow from financing activities to MSEK 964 (355).
The number of employees during the period increased to 3,347 (3,158), of which Habia Cable accounted for 546.
On October 14, Beijer Alma completed the divestment of Habia Cable to HEW-KABEL Holding GmbH, an international manufacturer of custom-designed cables headquartered in Germany. The transaction was paid in cash and valued Habia Cable at approximately MSEK 910 on a cash and debt-free basis. The divestment ensures Beijer Alma's long-term ability to create value for its shareholders through a strengthened strategic focus while also providing Habia Cable with the right conditions for growth.
Through the capital gain from the divestment, amounting to approximately MSEK 340, Beijer Alma will lower its net debt and strengthen its financial profile to ensure continued scope for value creation through investments and acquisitions in both Lesjöfors and Beijer Tech. The final capital gain will be adjusted depending on exchange-rate effects, among other factors.

Lesjöfors conducts its operations in two business areas: Industry and Chassis Springs. Order bookings rose to MSEK 1,020 (804) during the quarter, up 27 percent year-on-year. Net revenue amounted to MSEK 1,045 (805), corresponding to an increase of 30 percent. This increase was mainly attributable to acquired operations, which contributed 25 percent, and currency effects of 9 percent, while organic growth accounted for -4 percent.
Lesjöfors has discontinued its exports of chassis springs to the Russian market, which is the main reason that the business area's net revenue declined 24 percent to MSEK 176 (231) in the third quarter compared with the yearearlier period. Sales in key markets such as the UK and Germany also declined year-on-year, driven by lower demand from end customers and subsequent inventory reductions by wholesale customers.
Operating profit before items affecting comperability, was impacted by discontinued sales to Russia during the period, amounted to MSEK 154 (167). Operating profit in the year-earlier period was affected by an item affecting comparability of MSEK -45 attributable to the divestment of S&P Federnwerk GmbH in Germany.
Operating profit for the quarter includes costs for inventories measured at fair value and acquisition costs of MSEK 10 and MSEK 7 related to the acquisition of John Evans' Sons, which are non-recurring effects. Adjusted for these non-recurring effects, the operating margin was 16.4%.
Industry experienced stable demand in most markets, not least the US. Central Europe continued to be impacted by strained supply chains, and demand in China was weak. The acquired companies Alcomex, Plymouth and John Evans' Sons delivered strong performances. Net revenue for Industry amounted to MSEK 869 (574) during the quarter, up 51 percent compared to last year.
Order bookings for the January to September period amounted to MSEK 3,003 (2,437), up 23 percent. Net revenue amounted to MSEK 3,076 (2,375), corresponding to an increase of 30 percent. Organic growth amounted to 1 percent, with growth from acquisitions accounting for 22 percent and currency effects for 7 percent. Net revenue increased MSEK 749 to MSEK 2,419 (1,670) in Industry and declined to MSEK 657 (705) in Chassis Springs. The largest change compared with the year-earlier period was attributable to Chassis Springs' discontinued sales to Russia. Operating profit increased to MSEK 476 (472) during the period, also primarily impacted by the company's discontinued sales to Russia.

On July 8, Beijer Alma's subsidiary Lesjöfors acquired the assets and operations of John Evans' Sons Inc., a US spring manufacturer, for a purchase consideration of approximately MUSD 90 on a cash and debt-free basis. Lesjöfors acquired 100 percent of the company, and the current owners will remain in their operative roles. In addition to the initial purchase consideration, there is also a contingent consideration of up to MUSD 61.5.
The acquired assets are expected to generate annual revenue of approximately MUSD 37, with EBITA of MUSD 10 for 2022.
The calculations of intangible assets and goodwill in the following acquisition analyses are preliminary.

On October 6, Beijer Alma's subsidiary Lesjöfors acquired 100 percent of the shares in the Turkish spring manufacturer Telform Clamp and Spring Co. Telform conducts sales to more than 30 countries and multiple industries such as white goods, construction, automotive, electronics and others. The company has approximately 140 employees and generates annual revenue of about MEUR 11.
The transaction is expected to have a marginal positive impact on Beijer Alma's earnings per share in 2022.
The majority of the Group's financial assets and liabilities (accounts receivable, other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, liabilities to credit institutions, accounts payable and other liabilities) are measured at amortized cost in the report, which is also a good estimate of fair value. Assets that are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income include currency forwards with a carrying amount of MSEK –10 (-1), using a validation method based on observable market data. Liabilities that are measured at fair value through profit or loss include expensed conditional purchase considerations for shares in subsidiaries with a carrying amount of MSEK 16 (19). These items were valued using a method partly based on non-observable market data.
On October 6, Lesjöfors completed the acquisition of the spring manufacturer Telform in Turkey.
On October 14, Beijer Alma completed the divestment of Habia Cable to HEW-KABEL Holding GmbH, an international manufacturer of custom-designed cables headquartered in Germany.
The Group's material risks and uncertainties include business and financial risks. Business risks may include major customer exposures to individual industries or companies. Financial risks primarily pertain to foreign currency risks which arise as more than 96 and 86 percent of sales for Habia Cable and Lesjöfors, respectively, are conducted outside Sweden, while approximately 70 percent of production takes place outside Sweden. Beijer Tech does not have a corresponding foreign currency risk. Beijer Alma may also be impacted by the global geopolitical situation due to events such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which may have consequences for the global supply chain, etc.
Management of the Group's financial risks is described in Note 27 of the 2021 Annual Report. Other risks are described in the Board of Directors' Report in the Annual Report.

This interim report was prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union (EU). The presentation of the interim report complies with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
The same accounting policies and bases for assessment are applied in this interim report as in the most recent annual report, with the addition of the policies described below with respect to discontinued operations.
Disclosures pursuant to IAS 34.16A, in addition to those in the financial statements, are also presented in other sections of the interim report.
In connection with Beijer Alma entering into an agreement on July 5, 2022 to divest Habia Cable to HEW-KABEL Holding GmbH, the criteria were met for the application of IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. Discontinued operations are major lines of business that have been disposed of or comprise a disposal group held for sale. Profit after tax from discontinued operations is recognized separately in profit or loss.
When a group of assets and liabilities is classified as held for sale, this means that their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through sale and not through use. All assets included in the group are presented separately under assets and all liabilities in the group are presented separately under liabilities. The group is measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less selling expenses.
In the consolidated income statement, Habia Cable is recognized separately under "Discontinued operations" and earlier periods have been restated in accordance with the same policies. In the balance sheet, the operation's net assets are recognized under "Assets held for sale" and "Liabilities attributable to assets held for sale". In accordance with IFRS, balance sheets for prior years have not been restated. More detailed financial statements for discontinued operations are presented in the note "Discontinued operations".
Beijer Alma applies the European Securities and Markets Authority's (ESMA) Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures. In short, an alternative performance measure is a financial measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that is not defined or specified in IFRS.
The Parent Company, Beijer Alma AB, applies the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. These accounting policies correspond with the preceding year and with the consolidated accounting policies where applicable.
The interim report comprises pages 1–19, and pages 1–11 are thus an integrated part of this financial report.
