HEXPOL is a world-leading polymers group with strong global positions in advanced polymer compounds (Compounding), gaskets for plate heat exchangers (Gaskets and Seals), and wheels made of polymer materials for truck and castor wheel applications (Wheels). Customers are primarily system suppliers to the global automotive and engineering industry, building and construction industry and within sectors as transportation, energy, oil/gas, consumer and cable industry and manufacturers of medical equipment, plate heat exchangers and forklifts. The Group is organized in two business areas, HEXPOL Compounding and HEXPOL Engineered Products. The HEXPOL Group's sales in 2021 amounted to 16,005 MSEK and the Group has approximately 5,100 employees in fourteen countries.

Once again, we delivered a very strong quarter. EBIT amounted to 838 MSEK, in line with the previous quarter's record result and corresponds to an increase of 24 percent compared with the same quarter previous year. The sales growth was strong with 44 percent compared with the corresponding quarter last year, with good sales in all markets and all product areas. America showed continued strong development. Global sales to automotive-related customers still varies, but a certain improvement was seen at the end of the quarter, mainly in America. However, we see a great uncertainty in Europe towards the end of the quarter, mainly in the building and construction industry. Included in the positive sales development are effects from acquisitions, positive currency effects and increased sales prices.
The vehicle manufacturers' frequent stop and start of production due to component shortages had a clear negative impact on those of our customers who deliver to the automotive industry. We ourselves experienced again disruptions in the supply chain related to raw material where both the transport problems and raw material shortages had a negative impact. In addition to the challenges of uneven demand and supply issues, we have seen continued price increases for raw materials, albeit at a slower pace than before, as well as increased energy costs. Acquired companies continue to have lower margins than HEXPOL Group's total profitability margin. As previously communicated, we closed a production unit in Southern England during the quarter.
Strong execution of our solid business model with high customer focus combined with our ability to offer fast and stable deliveries, and the implementation of price adjustments are the key to our strong results. This together with our large geographical coverage with manufacturing close to our customers increases our delivery capacity.
Our acquisition strategy is set and we are very focused on it. almaak international GmbH, based in Germany, was consolidated into HEXPOL as of April 1, 2022. The company is a specialist in high quality recycled engineered polymer compounds and we see great interest from the automotive industry for projects with recycled materials.
The work on sustainability continues, not least with reducing our carbon footprint in order to achieve our goal of a reduction by 75 percent to 2025. During 2021 we reduced our carbon footprint by 20 percent so we are well on our way to achieving our goal. During the quarter, we also became partners in Polestars Zero Project to produce a completely climate neutral car.
We have today also appointed Gary Moore as new President HEXPOL Compounding Americas as the current manager Ken Bloom has chosen to retire. Gary Moore started at HEXPOL 2007 and most recently held the position as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) within HEXPOL Compounding Americas. Gary has long experience from the polymer industry of which the last 16 years with HEXPOL in various global managerial positions within supply chain and sales. We thank Ken for his extraordinary efforts and are happy that Ken will remain as Senior Advisor for HEXPOL Compounding Americas until Q1-2023.
*Adjusted EBIT Q3 2021

The uncertainty is high with sharply rising inflation and interest rates, major disturbances in supply chains and Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the horrible situation it poses to all people. However, we believe that our strong customer focus in combination with our geographical closeness to our customers gives us continued opportunities to deal with the disruptions and further strengthen our market position. We are flexible and ready to meet the expected increase in vehicle production. The strong business model in combination with a clear M&A agenda and strong financial position give us good conditions for continued growth and acquisitions.

Apart from the positive currency effects, the sales were positively affected by organic growth of 20 percent and acquisitions with 8 percent. We saw good underlying demand during the period, however, the outcome was negatively affected by the global disturbances regarding component- and raw material shortages as well as transport problems and frequent production stoppage mainly at automotive customers. At the end of the period we saw some improvement in sales to automotive-related customers, mainly in America. However, we see a great uncertainty in Europe towards the end of the period, mainly in the building and construction industry.
During the period, we also saw continued price increases of raw materials, albeit at a lower rate than before at the end of the period, and continued high energy costs.

To the Board of Directors of HEXPOL AB (publ)
We have reviewed the condensed interim report for HEXPOL AB (publ) as at September 30, 2022 and for the nine months 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 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 Financial Statements 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 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 aspects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Group, and in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Parent Company.

Acquisition within TP Compounding 2022
HEXPOL has in April completed the acquisition of 70 percent of the shares in almaak international GmbH, a specialist in high quality recycled engineered compounds. almaaks turnover in 2021 amounted to 75 MEUR with a profitability level just below the HEXPOL Group. almaak operates two sites in Germany with some 190 employees. The main end user segment is the European automotive industry where the interest for recycled compounds is high. The acquisition price amounted to approximately 70 MEUR on a cash and debt free basis and was funded by a combination of cash and existing bank facilities. Pursuant to the agreement, HEXPOL has an option to acquire the remaining shares (from 2025 and thereafter annually during the period January 1 – March 31), and the sellers have the option to sell their remaining shares to HEXPOL (from 2025 and thereafter annually during the period January 1 – March 31). The business has been consolidated from April 1. The purchase price allocation is preliminary since some information is outstanding.
Below are details of net assets acquired and goodwill for the above acquisition;
| MSEK | |
|---|---|
| Puchase consideration | 737 |
| Fair value of acquired net assets | 158 |
| Goodwill | 579 |
Goodwill is attributable to the strategic importance of the acquisition in terms of the increased breadth it adds to the HEXPOL Group's existing product offering. Through the acquisition, we strengthen our position in Europe, and give us a very good opportunity to continue our successful business strategy and philosophy around sustainability in connection with engineering compounds. The fair value of the acquired net assets includes 10 MSEK for the estimated value of acquired intangible assets.
