"A successful and well received listing on Nasdaq Stockholm and a quarter in line with normal seasonality."
This has truly been an eventful quarter and I am pleased that we were successfully listed on Nasdaq Stockholm on August 31. We have met with many investors, and we hosted our first ever Capital Markets Day, the main focus of which was to inform the market on our strategy and the dynamics of our business. We also launched our new brand, which unleashed a lot of energy and engagement among our employees and customers.
The third quarter is small from a seasonal perspective, with lower order intake, revenues and margins compared to the other quarters, mainly due to the summer shutdowns and planned maintenance. During the quarter, we noted continued positive demand in many of our customer segments, such as Industrial Heating, Power Generation, Transportation and Medical. We also noted some good orders in the Hydrogen and Renewable segment. Order intake in the Oil and Gas business in the Tube division continued to grow organically compared to last year, with large orders received for OCTG in the quarter. There is a high level of activity in the sector, but project awards are being delayed due to cost inflation and resource restraints in some customer projects related to umbilicals.
The slowdown that was noted in the short-cycle business in the second quarter, which related to low-refined products for the Industrial segment in Europe in the Tube division, continued into the third quarter, and we are now also seeing demand being hampered for these products in North America and Asia. Parts of the Consumer segment, mainly relating to compressor valve steel in the Strip division and appliance wire in the Kanthal division, both used in white goods products, also slowed. Overall, this translated into a year on year organic order intake growth of -10%.
Our backlog is solid, and in the quarter, revenues increased organically by 12%, with growth noted in all three divisions, and with an improved adjusted EBIT margin of 4.6%, compared to the same period last year, sequentially lower in line with normal seasonality. We noted a negative cash flow in the third quarter,
due to payments of raw material purchases made during the second quarter, when metal prices were high. This is expected to improve sequentially in the fourth quarter.
We are aiming for industry-leading sustainability, both measured by our offering and by our own operations. A step in reducing our emissions is to transition to fossil-free electricity, and we are currently running at 94%. Since the beginning of this year, the Kanthal site in Hosur, India, has been using 100% renewable electricity and the switch has enabled an annual reduction in CO2 emissions of approximately 850 tons. As our site in Mehsana, India, is already using fossil-free electricity, which means that our production in the country is now based on 100% renewable electricity.
We are operating in an uncertain environment, with global inflationary pressure and energy supply issues in Europe impacting our customers, and some parts of our short-cycle business will most likely remain subdued in the near-term. Looking ahead, I think that we are well positioned to grow our business and to execute on our strategy. Focus will be on growing within profitable and less cyclical segments. We view our diverse customer segment exposure as a strength, as our customers are in different parts of the business cycle. Our regional production footprint, being close to our customers in our main markets, is important as customers are now more focused on securing supply chains.
The energy sector is underinvested, and I believe that we will be able to leverage on the rebound in the oil and gas sector in the mid-term. Our application tubing business is strong in all regions, especially in the Chemical and Petrochemical customer segment. The transition from gas to electrical heating will continue and gain strength over time, supporting our Industrial Heating segment. I also believe we will continue to see good development in the Medical segment. All in all, we are well positioned for the future.
Göran Björkman, President and CEO

Demand was mixed during the quarter, and while several customer segments continued on a stable or positive trajectory compared to the same period last year, the demand weakened for the short-cycle business in all regions. The current market environment remains impacted by supply chain issues, extended freight lead times, inflation and uncertainties related to energy supply issues and costs, mainly in Europe.

Market sentiment is mixed going into the fourth quarter. While the momentum is positive for some parts of the business, there are increased uncertainties due to inflationary pressure and the impact of energy supply issues and prices, impacting our customers mainly in Europe. Demand is expected to remain subdued for the short-cycle Industrial segment and Consumer segment in the near-term. The product mix going into the fourth quarter is expected to be similar to that noted in the third quarter. Orders, revenues and the adjusted margin in the fourth quarter are normally higher than in the third quarter, based on seasonal effects. Cash flow is expected to improve sequentially.

Order intake in the quarter increased by 10% to SEK 3,869 million (3,512) compared to the same period last year, driven by positive alloy surcharges and currency effects. Organic order intake growth of -10% was attributable to the negative development for low-refined products and the short-cycle business, mainly related to the Industrial and Consumer customer segments, in all three divisions. Organic order intake for most other segments was above last year. Order intake in the regions of North America and Asia noted organic growth of -31% and -19% respectively, mainly due to lower order intake for low-refined products compared to the same period last year. Order intake in Europe increased by 9%, driven mainly by Oil and Gas, Power Generation and Industrial Heating, despite a decline in the low-refined products. There were no orders classified as major orders, meaning above SEK 200 million, in the quarter or in the same period last year. The order backlog remained solid.
Revenues in the quarter increased by 34% to SEK 4,270 million (3,197), corresponding to organic growth of 12% compared to the same period last year. All customer segments except the Industrial segment noted positive organic development compared to last year, with the main drivers being OCTG for Oil and Gas, and hydraulic and instrumentation tubing to the Chemical and Petrochemical segment. Book-to-bill was 91% in the quarter.
Acquisitions and divestments had a positive impact of 1% on both order intake and revenues, while currency had an impact of 7% on orders and 8% on revenues. Alloy surcharges had a positive impact of 11% on both order intake and revenues, mainly driven by higher nickel prices, compared to the same period last year.

Gross profit amounted to SEK 572 million (791). Adjusted gross profit increased by 23% to SEK 703 million
(569), corresponding to an adjusted gross margin of 16.5% (17.8), with higher production costs being the main reason for the decrease.
Sales, administrative and R&D costs increased by 24% year on year and amounted to SEK -639 million (-517). Adjusted sales, administrative and R&D costs increased by 25% year on year to SEK -549 million (-439), mainly due to higher activity, and temporary listing and branding promotion costs, as well as higher cost for operating as a standalone company. Adjusted sales, administrative and R&D costs in relation to revenues decreased to 12.9% (13.7), which was attributable to higher revenues.
Reported EBIT decreased to SEK -26 million (295), with a margin of -0.6% (9.2). Items affecting comparability amounted to SEK -90 million (-18) related to the separation from Sandvik AB and the listing. Metal price effects had a negative impact of SEK -131 million (190) in the quarter, mainly due to declining nickel prices.
Adjusted EBIT increased by 59% to SEK 195 million (123) corresponding to a margin of 4.6% (3.8). The year on year development was attributable to a strong product mix and higher revenues, somewhat offset by higher costs for freight and energy, as well as costs related to operating as a stand-alone company. Currency had a positive impact of SEK 99 million in the quarter. Earnings were in line with normal seasonality because of summer shutdowns for planned maintenance. Depreciation and amortization amounted to SEK -208 million (-134).
Net financial items decreased to SEK -187 million (77), mainly due to negative effects from revaluation of FX derivatives.
The reported tax rate was 27.6% (26.8) in the quarter. The normalized tax rate, excluding the impact related to items affecting comparability and metal price effects in operating profit, for Q1-Q3 2022 was 26.3% (26.4), in line with guidance for the full year.

Tube develops and manufactures seamless tubes and other long products in advanced stainless steels and special alloys used primarily in the customer segments of Industrial, Chemical and Petrochemical, Oil and Gas, Mining and Construction, Power Generation and Transportation. The offering also includes products and solutions for the growing Hydrogen and Renewable Energy segment.

Order intake increased by 4% to SEK 2,552 million (2,449), and decreased organically by -16% compared to the same period last year. Organic growth in the Power Generation segment, hydraulic & instrumentation and heat exchanger tubing for the Chemical and Petrochemical segment, and titanium, high precision and GDI tubes for the Transportation segment did not offset the decline for the low-refined and short-cycle long products in the Industrial segment.
Revenues increased by 35% to SEK 2,931 million (2,169), corresponding to an organic growh of 13%, due to a broad-based positive development and higher revenues for umbilicals for the Oil and Gas segment in particular. Other main contributors to year on year organic growth were application tubing products such as high temperature and fertilizer, as well as hydraulic and instrumentation tubing to the Chemical and Petrochemical segment, somewhat mitigated by the negative development for long products to the Industrial segment. The book-to-bill ratio was 87% in the quarter.
EBIT amounted to SEK 12 million (263) and included items affecting comparability of SEK -4 million (31) and metal price effects of SEK -129 million (161), mainly as a result of declining nickel prices. Adjusted EBIT totaled SEK 145 million (71), corresponding to a margin of 4.9% (3.3). The increase was primarily due to higher revenues, mainly in the Oil and Gas segment, and a positive product mix. Underabsorption related to decreased inventories had a negative impact on the margin, along with negative effects related to fire in the steel mill. Changes in exchange rates had a positive impact of SEK 92 million (-13). Amortization and depreciation amounted to SEK -166 million (-97).
To meet the increasing demand from mainly the Chemical and Petrochemical segment, and to optimize the footprint in Asia, an investment project is underway aimed at expanding the Mehsana mill in India. As part of this, a new cold finishing tube manufacturing line and a finishing line mainly for heat exchanger tubing, along with a hydraulic & instrumentation tube factory, have already been installed on site. During the quarter, and in line with capex guidance, the project entered its final phase, which is the establishment of a new heat exchanger tube factory that is expected to be fully completed and operational by Q3 2023.

Kanthal is a leading supplier of heating materials, focusing on heating alloys for industrial, appliance and thermocouple applications, and heating systems, including heating elements, heating modules, and other products used in high temperature processes. The largest share of revenues is related to the Industrial Heating segment. The division also has an offering for ultra-fine wire for the Medical segment.
Focus on our global reach and our operations in over
120 countries around the world.

Order intake increased 25% to SEK 945 million (755), corresponding to an organic growth of 2%. The positive organic development was primarily driven by the Industrial Heating segment, due to project orders for fibrothal® cassettes, process heating systems and metallic elements. Heating materials noted a slightly negative development compared to the same period last year, attributable to lower demand for appliance wire for white goods in the Consumer segment, and industrial wire for the Industrial segment. Organic order intake in the Medical segment was slightly lower year on year due to the timing of orders, although market sentiment remains positive.
Revenues increased by 38% to SEK 995 million (719), corresponding to an organic growth of 12%. The organic growth was driven by heating systems and heating materials, as well as yet another quarter with record-high revenues in the Medical segment. The book-to-bill ratio was 95% in the quarter.
EBIT amounted to SEK 107 million (138) and included items affecting comparability of SEK -1 million (29) and metal price effects of SEK -7 million (20). Adjusted EBIT amounted to SEK 115 million (89), corresponding to a margin of 11.6% (12.4). The margin decline was primarily attributable to a weaker product mix due to a higher share of revenues related to heating materials, compared to the same period last year. Changes in exchange rates had a positive impact of SEK 9 million (-1). Amortization and depreciation amounted to SEK -24 million (-21).
Since the beginning of the year, the Kanthal site in Hosur, India, has been running on 100% renewable electricity. This transition is made possible through the use of renewable energy certificates. The switch to renewable electricity has enabled an annual reduction in CO2 emissions of approximately 850 tons. The reduction of CO2 emissions in Q3 amounted to 224 tons making it the quarter with the largest CO2 savings so far this year.

Change compared to same quarter last year. The table is multiplicative, i.e. the different components must be multiplied to determine the total effect.
Order intake increased 21% to SEK 372 million (308), corresponding to an organic growth of 10%, driven by orders for coated strip steel (Surface Technology) for the Hydrogen and Renewable Energy segment. Organic order intake in the Consumer segment declined year on year, mainly due to lower demand for stainless compressor valve steel in Asia and for knife steel. Demand for razor blades within the Consumer segment, and demand in the Industrial and Medical segments remained solid.
Revenues increased by 11% to SEK 344 million (309), corresponding to an organic growth of 3%, mainly driven by razor blade and spring knife steel to the Consumer segment, offsetting a negative impact from lower revenues from stainless compressor valve steel. Supply chain issues caused production related disturbances. The book-to-bill ratio was 108% in the quarter.
EBIT amounted to SEK 15 million (31) and included metal price effects of SEK 5 million (9). Adjusted EBIT totaled SEK 10 million (23), corresponding to a margin of 3.0% (7.3). The decline was mainly attributable to higher production cost. Changes in exchange rates had a positive impact of SEK 19 million (-5). Amortization and depreciation amounted to SEK -12 million (-12).
As part of continuous footprint optimizations, the Strip division's service center in Bethel, Connecticut, was moved to Clarks Summit in Pennsylvania during the third quarter. By relocating to the largest Alleima site in North America, the Strip division can utilize the Alleima distribution center, thereby improving customer service levels, for example, by shortening lead times. All strip material in North America will now be handled in one location with dedicated resources.

The positive trend in market demand continued across most customer segments compared to the same period last year. However, demand in the short-cycle business, mainly related to long products for the Industrial customer segment as well as demand in the Consumer segment, softened toward the latter part of the period, indicating uncertainties in the market environment. The first nine months were impacted by supply chain issues, longer-than-normal freight lead times, and uncertainties related to energy supply issues and prices in Europe, as well as raw material price inflation, especially related to nickel prices.
Order intake in the period increased by 43% to SEK 16,305 million (11,419) year on year, corresponding to organic growth of 20%. All three divisions noted positive year on year development, mainly driven by orders related to the Power Generation, Oil and Gas, Industrial Heating and Medical customer segments. Order intake in the regions of Europe, North America and Asia noted a favorable trend, with organic growth of 1%, 35% and 118%, respectively, including major orders, and growth of 4%, 1% and 5%, respectively, excluding major orders. Excluding major orders of approximately SEK 1.5 billion (0) for the Group, organic order intake growth was 7% in the period.
Revenues increased by 34% to SEK 13,246 million (9,912), corresponding to year on year organic revenue growth of 13%. All customer segments and all three divisions noted positive development compared to last year, especially the Oil and Gas segment. The book-to-bill ratio was 123% in the period.
Acquisitions and divestments had a positive impact of 1% on both order intake and revenues, while currency had an impact of 5% on order intake and 6% revenues, respectively. Alloy surcharges had a positive impact of 14% on order intake and 12% on revenues, mainly driven by increased nickel prices.
Reported EBIT increased to SEK 1,715 million (987), with a margin of 12.9% (10.0). Items affecting comparability amounted to SEK -254 million (-75), mainly related to the separation from Sandvik AB and the listing. Metal price effects had a positive impact of SEK 844 million (359) in the period, mainly due to increased nickel prices.
Adjusted EBIT increased by 60% to SEK 1,126 million (703) corresponding to a margin of 8.5% (7.1). The year on year development was attributable to higher revenues and an improved product mix, somewhat offset by higher costs for freight and energy and costs related to operating as a stand-alone company. Depreciation and amortization amounted to SEK -630 million (-538).
Profit for the period amounted to SEK 1,070 million (792), corresponding to earnings per share of SEK 4.21 (3.09). Adjusted profit for the period amounted to SEK 602 million (574) and adjusted earnings per share amounted to SEK 2.35 (2.23), see page 30 for further details.
Capital employed increased year on year to SEK 17,496 million (14,326), due to higher net working capital, currency effects and valuation effects for financial derivatives. Return on capital employed was 13.6% (N/A).
Net working capital increased year on year to SEK 7,091 million (4,798), driven by an increase in inventories due to higher activity, higher raw material prices and longer freight times, with the Tube division accounting for the largest increase. Net working capital in relation to revenues was 33.2% (N/A) for the period.
Net investments (capex) increased to SEK -337 million (-233), mainly due to lower-than-normal levels in the preceding year, corresponding to 62.2% (48.3) of scheduled depreciation and -2.5% (-2.4) of revenues in the period.
Cash flow from operating activities decreased year on year to SEK -419 million (211) due to increased working capital from higher activity levels and with a negative impact of higher raw material prices.
Free operating cash flow decreased to SEK -295 million (361), mainly due to increased working capital.
-On July 6, Anders Björklund announced that he is resigning as President of the Kanthal division and that he will leave his position within the Group. Anders will remain in his current position until a successor takes office, but no later than December 31, 2022.

Revenues per custumer segment based on full year 2021. Historically, these percentages have not changed substantially between the quarters and the full year figures of 2021 will therefore give a good approximation.


Values
As an international group with a wide geographical spread, Alleima is exposed to several strategic, business and financial risks. Strategic risk at Alleima is defined as emerging risks affecting the business long-term, such as industry shifts, technological shifts, and macroeconomic developments. The business risks can be divided into operational, sustainability, compliance, legal and commercial risks. The financial risks include currency risks, interest rates, raw material prices, tax risks and more. These risk areas can all impact the business negatively both long and short-term but often also create business opportunities if managed well. Risk management at Alleima begins with an assessment in operational management teams where the material risks for their operations are first identified, followed by an evaluation of the probability of the risks occurring and their potential impact on the Group. Once the key risks have been identified and evaluated, risk mitigating activities to eliminate or reduce the risks are agreed on. For a more detailed description of Alleima's analysis of risks and risk universe, see the Alleima Group's prospectus.
The market demand has now largely recovered from the decline related to the Covid-19 pandemic. Uncertanties in the economy caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine may however still be visible, and the constantly evolving nature makes it difficult to predict its ultimate adverse impact on Alleima. Alleima has no significant direct exposure to Russia and Ukraine. Alleima is impacted by longer lead times, indirect supply chain disruptions, higher freight and energy costs as well as raw material price inflation, with uncertainty regarding its ultimate length and trajectory. Consequently, the Covid-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine continues to present uncertainty and risk and could have material adverse effects on revenues, cash flows, financial condition, and results of operations.

Göran Björkman President and CEO
Alleima AB (publ) reg no 559224-1433
We have reviewed the interim report of Alleima 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 presentation of the interim financial information 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.

1) Internal transactions had negligible effect on division profits.
The financial statements of the Group were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by EU. This interim report for the Group was prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, and for the parent company in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Reporting for legal entities and other statements issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board. The accounting principles applied in the preparation of this interim report comply with the accounting principles presented in the prospectus "Admission to trading of shares in Alleima AB on Nasdaq Stockholm" in Note 1 "Significant accounting principles - assessments and assumptions for accounting purposes" in the combined financial statements on page F-40 and forward.
IASB has published amendments of standards that are effective as of January 1, 2022 or later. The standards have not had any material impact on the financial reports.
Alleima has as of January 1, 2022 started to apply hedge accounting for derivatives that are used to hedge the Group's exposure to electricity price risk, and as of April 1, 2022 hedge accounting for derivatives that are used to hedge the exposure to gas- and metal price risk, and in addition, as of July 1, 2022 hedge accounting for some derivatives that are used to hedge the exchange rate exposure in orders and investments. Changes in the fair value of the derivatives designated for hedge accounting are recognised in Other comprehensive income and accumulated in the Hedge reserve within equity. Changes in fair value are subsequently reclassified to profit or loss in the same period as the Group reports the expense of the hedged consumption of electricity, gas and metal or included in the carrying amount of the purchased metals or acquired property, plant and equipment as appropriate. Any ineffectiveness is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
The interim information on pages 1–33 is an integrated part of these financial statements.
The parent company follows the same accounting policies as the Group with the following exceptions.
Shares in subsidiaries are recognized at cost, including expenses directly related to the acquisition, less any impairment. Group contributions are reported as appropriations in the income statement.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments is adopted, except regarding financial guarantees where the exception allowed in RFR 2 is chosen. Financial guarantees are included in contingent liabilities.
Internal loans are managed by the Group's Teasury function and all internal credit facilities are reviewed on regular basis. Internal loans are managed to collect contractual cash flows and is therefore designated as amortized cost. Impairment losses are calculated based on expected credit losses.

During Q2 2022, Alleima has established a commercial paper program with a framework amount of SEK 3 billion with the aim of being able to raise short-term financing. During Q2, Alleima also entered into an agreement with a syndicate of lenders for revolving credit facilities of SEK 3 billion. The credit can be drawn in a number of currencies and runs for five years (with two possibilities for extension). In addition, Alleima has entered into framework agreements on short-term financing of which SEK 700 million was availed at September 30, 2022. The other credit facilities were not availed.
In order to mitigate financial risks, the Group has entered into financial instruments such as currency-, commodity- and electricity- and gas derivatives. All derivatives belong to Level 2 in the fair value hierachy, i.e. observable inputs have been used in deriving the fair values. Fair values, which equals carrying amounts, of outstanding derivatives amounted at each reporting period to the amounts below.

The carrying amounts for other financial assets and liabilities are considered to represent a good approximation of the fair values due to the short durations.
The Group companies have related party relationships with their subsidiaries. All related party transactions are based on market terms and negotiated on an arm's length basis.
On August 31, 2022 the Alleima shares were delivered to the shareholders of Sandvik and Alleima is no longer part of the Sandvik Group. Alleima former shareholder was Sandvik AB. Transactions with Sandvik Group are presented in the prospectus "Admission to trading of shares in Alleima AB on Nasdaq Stockholm" in Note 1 and in Note 27 in the combined financial statements. Where also remuneration to senior executives for Alleima is presented in Note 3. Between the Groups there are historical trade receivables and payables as well as cash pool and other short term liabilities. The short term loan from Sandvik was amortized before the listing. Transactions related to transfer of assets and liabilities as part of the formation of the Alleima Group between Sandvik group and Alleima Group have been classified as transactions with shareholders. The transactions with the shareholders that have been carried out via equity are presented in the Condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity. Alleima has also purchased services from the Sandvik Group such as IT services and administrative services.
During Q2 2022, the subsidiary Sandvik Materials Technology Rock Drill Steel AB (RDS) made a directed share issue to Sandvik AB regarding 10,000 B-shares in the company, which resulted in the majority owner Alleima now owning 90% of the shares in RDS, i.e. all A-shares, and Sandvik 10%. The Class B shares held by Sandvik are not subject to future dividends. According to agreement between the parties, Alleima has, subject to certain conditions, the right, but not the obligation to acquire, Sandvik's Class B shares at its quota value (SEK 2,778). Furthermore, Alleima has issued a
call option to Sandvik, which can only be exercised if a few predetermined events occur and in the event that the call option is exercised, the purchase price shall be set at Fair Market Value. Alleima has in all previous periods presented prior to the rights issue consolidated RDS to 100%, i.e. without accounting for a non-controlling interest. In the new issue of Class B shares, Alleima will report in its consolidated financial statements a minority shareholding of SEK 2,778 corresponding to the issue proceeds that RDS received from Sandvik AB. No "profit share" belonging to the minority shareholder Sandvik AB will be reported in the future as Sandvik is not entitled to any dividend. This means that the minority share in equity will be SEK 2,778 in all future periods unless Alleima acquires Sandvik AB's B shares in accordance agreement or Alleima divests RDS at fair value according to the agreement's call option.
An extraordinary general meeting held on March 7, 2022, resolved on a directed share issue with right for the shareholder Sandvik AB, Reg. No. 556000-3468, to subscribe for 250,827,184 shares in Alleima AB and that all shares, in accordance with the terms and conditions in the general meeting's decision, have been subscribed for. Following the decision at an extraordinary general meeting, in March 2022, one existing share in Alleima AB was divided into fifty shares. Total number of shares after the split and the share issue amounted to 250,877,184.
In addition, in March 2022, the company received an unconditional shareholder contribution in the amount of SEK 1,149 million by way of cash payment from the shareholder Sandvik AB.
On April 26, 2022 Alleima acquired the remaining 30% of the US based joint venture Pennsylvania Extruded Tube Company (PEXCO).
In Q1 2022, Alleima completed the acquisition of the German based company Gerling GmbH, a precision tube engineering company serving multiple industries including the fast-developing hydrogen market. The offering includes innovative engineering solutions such as high-pressure control technology in hydrogen refueling stations. The company is reported in division Tube. Gerling GmbH is headquartered in Hörste, Germany, with around 75 employees. In 2021 Gerling GmbH had revenues of approximately SEK 118 million, with an EBIT margin neutral to Alleima. During the first nine months of 2022 the company had external revenues of SEK 35 milion with an impact on Alleima profit for the period of SEK 7 million. Impact on Alleima earnings per share will initially be neutral. The acquisition was made through the purchase of 100% of shares and voting rights. Alleima assumed control over the operations upon the date of closing. No equity instruments have been issued in connection with the acquisition. The acquisition have been accounted for using the acquisition method. Intangible and tangible assets of SEK 48 million and goodwill of SEK 3 million has been recorded on the purchase. The purchase price allocation is still preliminary, changes may occur at a later stage.

This interim report contains certain alternative performance measures that are not defined by IFRS. These measures are included as they are considered to be important performance indicators of the operating performance and liquidity for Alleima. They should not be considered a substitute to Alleima's financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. Alleima's definitions of these measures are described below, and as other companies may calculate non IFRS measures differently, these measures are therefore not always comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
Change in order intake and revenues after adjustments for exchange rate effects and structural changes such as divestments and acquisitions and alloy surcharges. Organic growth is used to analyze the underlying sales performance in the Group, as most of its revenues are in currencies other than in the reporting currency (i.e. SEK, Swedish Krona). Alloy surcharges is used as an instrument to pass on changes in alloy costs along the value chain and the effects from alloy surcharges may fluctuate over time.
Alleima considers Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted operating profit (EBIT) and the related margin to be relevant measures to present profitability of the underlying business excluding metal price effects and items affecting comparability (IAC).
Metal price effect is the difference between sales price and purchase price on metal content used in the production of products. Metal price effect on operating profit in a particular period arises from changes in alloy prices arising from the timing difference between the purchase, as included in cost of goods sold, and the sale of an alloy, as included in revenues, when alloy surcharges are applied. IAC includes capital gains and losses from divestments and larger restructuring initiatives, impairments, capital gains and losses from divestments of financial assets as well as other material items having a significant impact on the comparability.
