1) Other items include material acquisition-related items. Current acquisition-related items pertain to the amortization of acquired intangible assets relating to the acquisitions of FTZ, Inter-Team, MECA and Sørensen og Balchen (MECA until the end of May 2022 and Sørensen og Balchen until the end of April 2021
when amortization of these was completed).
MEKO stands strong and is reporting positive organic growth for the Group as a whole, despite changes in market conditions and turbulence in our business environment. It is also very satisfying that, during the quarter, we took an important step and strengthened our position through the acquisition of Koivunen, affording us a market-leading position in Finland and Estonia. The acquisition also expands our operations to Latvia and Lithuania. At the same time, generally rising inflation has created a cautious trend in several of our markets, which, combined with unfavorable currency fluctuations, impacted our profitability during the quarter. We now put full focus on using our insights, by acting decisively and methodically to ensure continued profitable growth.
For many years, MEKO has had a successful strategy for creating value through carefully selected acquisitions. On July 1 when Koivunen became a part of MEKO, we have established ourselves as the leading player in Finland, where we previously had limited operations, and in Estonia, where we were not represented at all. The acquisition also expands our operations to Latvia and Lithuania. The company had 1,740 MSEK in net sales and an EBIT margin of 5.6 percent in 2021. The distribution channels include concept-affiliated and independent workshops anddistributors, industrial customers and export. Koivunen is a prosperous company with strong brands that will continue to be developed in their existing form as a separate business area. This important step eastward means that we are closing in on our goal of becoming the best and most comprehensive partner for everyone that services and maintains vehicles in Northern Europe.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has resulted in a humanitarian crisis with many other knock-on effects, such as challenges related to sourcing of materials and increased prices, combined with currency fluctuations and rising inflation. This, combined with high energy and fuel prices, resulted in reduced consumer purchasing power and, consequently as cautious trend in several of our markets during the quarter. The Norwegian and, to a certain extent, the Danish market were affected to a greater extent. For the Group as a whole, net sales increased by 5 percent to SEK 3,357 M (3,210) during the second quarter, which is confirmation of the stability of our underlying business. Organic growth amounted to slightly more than 2 percent, with Inter-Team in Poland standing out in a positive sense with its organic growth of more than 8 percent.
Profitability for the second quarter was impacted by the changes in the market. EBIT amounted to SEK 185 M (280) and the EBIT margin to 5 percent (9). A total of SEK -26 M (-) in items affecting comparability related to the acquisition of Koivunen was charged to earnings for the quarter. Adjusted EBIT amounted to SEK 240 M (314) and the adjusted EBIT margin to 7 percent (10). The gross margin rose to 46.3 percent (45.5), largely thanks to previously implemented price adjustments. The change in earnings compared with the corresponding quarter of the preceding year was due in full to cost increases resulting from generally higher inflationary pressure combined with unfavorable currency fluctuations. The situation is being managed resolutely and methodically, and we are drawing on our tried-and-tested ability to transform. We launched several targeted activities in various parts of the operations to reduce our cost base and secure long-term profitable growth. Our flexibility, together with our underlying stable business, makes me confident that the efforts are having the intended effect.
Our financial position remains solid. After the end of the quarter, we signed a new credit facility agreement of SEK 1,965 M, which replaces earlier financing of EUR 178 M. This provides us with both flexibility and strong resilience. Net debt amounted to SEK 2,649 M (2,549) at the end of the second quarter and net debt/EBITDA excluding effects of IFRS 16 amounted to 2.4 times (2.0), which is in the lower end of our target range. Cash flow from operating activities was positive during the quarter and amounted to SEK 387 M (406). We can see major opportunities to increase sales and market shares going forward through responsible investment in increased availability for our customers. Our strategic decision to strengthen our stocks of attractive components and spare parts stands firm and we are now at approximately the same levels as at the close of the first quarter.
I can confirm that we have a fundamentally stable business and that we have demonstrated that we can manage difficulties and challenging market conditions. Today, MEKO has many established brands, covering various wishes and needs, which together with our proven ability to balance our cost base and extract synergies, will enable continued long-term, sustainable growth and profitability. We stand well equipped to now further strengthen our position in all of our markets through transformation toward an even more sustainable and profitable company. We aim to be the best and most complete partner for everyone that services and maintains vehicles in our markets – today and in the future.

In the second quarter, net sales rose 2 percent to SEK 919 M (900), positively impacted by currency effects of SEK 29 M.

The Sørensen og Balchen business area mainly includes wholesale and branch operations in Norway. Sørensen og Balchen is the business area in the Group with the largest share of direct sales to consumers and is therefore more exposed to the retail trade than the Group as a whole.
Net sales in the second quarter amounted to SEK 237 M (239). Currency effects had a positive impact on net sales of SEK 9 M. Organic growth was -10 percent, where performance for the quarter was largely due to a weak trend in retail sales. The operations have been affected to a higher degree than other segments by generally weaker consumer purchasing power, which is a result of increased inflationary pressure, rising interest rates and higher energy and fuel prices.
EBIT amounted to SEK 50 M (57) and the EBIT margin was 21 percent (24) for the quarter. The change in earnings was primarily the result of lower volumes in combination with higher personnel and transport costs as well as higher energy prices. The gross margin improved compared with the year-earlier quarter.
In the second quarter, the number of workdays was unchanged in Norway compared with the year-earlier quarter.
MEKO has limited seasonal effects in its operations. However, the number of workdays affects sales and earnings and extreme summer or winter weather can also impact sales.

MEKO is exposed to a number of external, operating and financial risks. All identified risks are monitored continuously and, if necessary, risk-reducing measures are taken to limit the effects. The company conducted a review and assessment of operating and financial risks and uncertainties in accordance with the 2021 Annual Report when we clarified the impact of exceptional macro-environmental factors and risks linked to sustainability. The most relevant risk factors are described in the 2021 Annual Report, page 26 and Note 11. For the effect of exchange-rate fluctuations on profit before tax, refer to page 40 of the 2021 Annual Report.
MEKO has, through its Risk and Compliance Committee (RCC), which consists of Group Management and the Group's risk manager, a particular focus on identifying critical changes in the area of risk. The risk manager and CFO maintain frequent dialogues with business area managers to limit the risks and prevent these from occurring. This process is conducted with various stakeholders, the Board and the Audit Committee.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine increased the uncertainties for the global economy, such as disruptions to supply and logistics chains and increased volatility in the energy market, together with a higher rate of inflation. As a consequence of this and possible continued spread of covid-19, there is a risk of further disruptions to supply chains and increased distribution costs.
The Parent Company's operations mainly comprise Group Management. The Parent Company's earnings after net financial items were SEK -51 M (19) for the second quarter and SEK -111 M (-105) for the six-month period excluding dividends from subsidiaries of SEK 419 M (284) for the quarter and SEK 419 M (530) for the six-month period. The large difference compared with the year-earlier quarter is mainly due to significant negative currency effects. The average number of employees in the Parent Company was 6 (6). During the second quarter, MEKO AB sold goods and services to Group companies for a total of SEK 12 M (12) and SEK 24 M (22) in the six-month period.
"Central functions" comprise Group-wide functions that also include MEKO AB. Group-wide functions comprise functions that support the Group's work: finance and controlling, risk management and internal audit, sustainability, legal, business development, communication and market, HR and operations, which comprises purchasing, product range, logistics and IT. The units reported in "Central functions" do not reach the quantitative thresholds for separate reporting and the benefits of reporting these segments separately are considered limited for users of financial statements. EBIT for "Central functions" was SEK -42 M (-13) for the second quarter and SEK -59 M (-24) for the six-month period. The largest difference compared with the preceding year pertained to costs attributable to the acquisition of Koivunen.
"Other items" includes acquisition-related items attributable to MEKO AB's direct acquisitions. Current acquisition-related items are amortizations of acquired intangible assets pertaining to the acquisitions of FTZ, Inter-Team, MECA and Sørensen og Balchen (MECA until the end of May 2022 and Sørensen og Balchen until the end of April 2021 when amortization of these was completed) amounting to SEK -30 M (-34) for the second quarter and SEK -64 M (-72) for the six-month period.
During the period, the Parent Company Mekonomen AB (publ.) completed its name change to MEKO AB (publ.). The name change was approved by the shareholders at the company's Annual General Meeting on May 20, 2022, with the aim of more clearly reflecting the breadth of the operations and demonstrating that the Group is more than a single important brand.
At MEKO's Annual General Meeting on May 20, 2022, Robert Hanser, Michael Løve, Eivor Andersson, Kenny Bräck, Joseph M. Holsten, Magnus Håkansson and Helena Skåntorp were re-elected as Board members. Robert Hanser was elected Chairman of the Board. For other decisions and documentation, see MEKO's website, www.meko.com.
During the second quarter, a long-term, share-based incentive program (LTIP 2022) was launched as resolved by the Annual General Meeting on May 20, 2022. The main motivation for establishing LTIP 2022 is to interlink shareholders' and company management and other key individuals' interests to ensure maximum long-term value generation and to encourage individual share ownership in MEKO.
The maximum number of shares in MEKO that can be allocated as part of LTIP 2022 is, according to the Annual General Meeting resolution of May 20, limited to 340,000 (including any dividend compensation) to 40 participants. LTIP 2022 encompasses 37 employees comprising company management in MEKO as well as certain other key individuals in the Group. Participation in LTIP 2022 requires some individual share ownership in MEKO. After the established vesting period, which runs until March 31, 2025, participants will be allocated shares free of charge in MEKO provided certain conditions are met. These conditions are linked to continuing employment in MEKO Group, individual share ownership in MEKO as well as the performance of total shareholder return (TSR) and growth in adjusted EBIT and also a decrease of net debt/EBITDA. The expected average cost per year amounts to SEK 6.2 M for the program, over three years.
For a more detailed description of LTIP 2022, refer to information from the AGM on May 20, 2022 at www.meko.com.
To ensure the supply of shares in accordance with LTIP 2022, the company entered into an equity swap agreement for 204,000 shares at the beginning of the third quarter. The company already holds equity swap agreements for 340,000 shares to secure the delivery of shares for LTIP 2020 and LTIP 2021, which comprise all of the ongoing LTIP programs.
During the quarter, MEKO signed an agreement to acquire Koivunen, the leading provider of automotive spare parts and related services in Finland and Estonia, with operations also in Latvia and Lithuania. The enterprise value is EUR 122 M (SEK 1,280 M) on a cash and debt-free basis. Thus, MEKO is expanding its current Finnish operations and establishing itself in the Baltics. Through the expansion, MEKO will have a presence around the Baltic Sea and strengthen its position as Northern Europe's leading player in the automotive aftermarket. The acquisition was completed on July 1, 2022.
Koivunen had net sales of approximately SEK 1,740 M and an EBIT of approximately SEK 98 M during the 2021 financial year. The acquisition was financed in cash through cash and cash equivalents and bank facilities.
On May 20, a strengthened initiative was announced within the Group's Norwegian operations through the building of a new, high-tech automated central warehouse in the Mjøs region of Norway. The new facility is scheduled to be completed in 2025. Earlier in the year, a major initiative was announced that the Group's Danish business area FTZ will also build a new high-tech automated central warehouse in Odense in Denmark. The new facility is scheduled to be completed in 2024.
On March 10, an announcement was made of the acquisition of 20.5 percent of the Swedish service company Omnicar Holding AB, which provides mobile vehicle service and digital sales of electric cars. Omnicar's services are currently available in Denmark with expansion planned into Sweden and Norway. The acquisition was completed in the second quarter.
During the quarter, covid-19 had a limited impact in markets where MEKO conducts business. For further information on this, refer to the section "Financial position and cash flow" and the description of developments given by each business area.
MEKO has continued to carefully monitor the development of covid-19 and any changes to restrictions imposed in the Group's markets. Further measures in addition to those already taken may therefore be needed. We also have continued to focus on the health and safety of our employees, customers and suppliers.
In conjunction with the annual accounts, standard assessments were carried out of the impairment requirement for goodwill and other intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. According to these assessments, there is no indication of impairment for goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives as at December 31, 2021. We see no indication of a decrease in value since then.
Relief and grants relating to covid-19 had no impact on EBIT for MEKO during the quarter.
As of June 30, the effects of the covid-19 pandemic have not had any significant impact on the valuation of inventories. The inventory value has, however, increased due to the substantial increase in buffer inventory during the first quarter and also partially during the second quarter to secure access to spare parts should disruptions remain or deteriorate in logistics flows.
As of June 30, there is no indication of the need to expand credit loss reserves.
During the quarter, focus has remained on securing liquidity and cash flow. Liquidity and cash flow during the quarter were favorable, largely thanks to positive earnings, the new financing and continued support in the form of the postponement of VAT and tax payments. During the quarter, no new support was received though earlier support has been repaid. In total, the remaining support amounts to approximately SEK 21 M at the end of the quarter and this will be repaid in the first quarter of 2023.
MEKO completed the acquisition of Koivunen on July 1. Accordingly, the operation will be included in MEKO's reporting as of the third quarter.
On July 1, MEKO signed a new loan agreement of SEK 1,965 M, commencing July 8. The loan replaces earlier financing of EUR 178 M , which was repaid on the same date as the start date for the new loan. The duration of the new agreement is three years with the possibility of an extension of 1 + 1 year.
MEKO applies the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. This interim report was prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The same accounting policies and measurement methods were applied as in the most recent Annual Report. This interim report consists of pages 1–23 and should be read in its entirety.
The Parent Company prepares its accounts in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 and applies the same accounting policies and measurement methods as in the most recent Annual Report.
Totals quoted in tables and statements may not always be the exact sum of the individual items because of rounding differences. The aim is that each line should correspond to its source, and rounding differences may therefore arise.

INFORMATION ABOUT FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS RECOGNIZED AT FAIR VALUE IN THE BALANCE SHEET
The financial instruments measured at fair value in the balance sheet are shown below. This was carried out by dividing the measurements into three levels, which are described in the 2021 Annual Report, Note 11. All of MEKO's financial instruments measured to fair value are included in Level 2, excluding
supplementary purchase considerations, which are included in Level 3. However, current supplementary purchase considerations do not represent material amounts.
The main methods and assumptions used to determine the fair value of the financial instruments shown in the table below are described in the
2021 Annual Report, Note 11. The financial instruments contained in the interim report are the same as those in the 2021 annual accounts.

1) The carrying amount of the Group's non-market-listed long-term financial instruments measured at amortized cost corresponds
in all material respects to fair value, since the interest rate is on par with prevailing market rates. For the market-listed bond, fair value differs from
the carrying amount since the market value of the bond has changed since it was issued. The carrying amount of the Group's short-term financial instruments measured at amortized cost corresponds in all material respects to fair value since the discount effect is not material.
2) The amount includes a liability related to share swaps of SEK 20 M.
3) The carrying amount of the Group's long-term liabilities measured at amortized cost corresponds in all material respects to fair value since
the interest rate is on par with prevailing market rates.
4) Lease liabilities are recognized at amortized cost and are not assigned a fair value.
5) Derivative instruments used for hedging purposes.
6) The carrying amount of the Group's current liabilities measured at amortized cost corresponds in all material respects to fair value since the discount effect is not material.

MEKO applies the Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures issued by ESMA*. 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. MEKO believes that these measures provide valuable supplementary information to company management, investors and other stakeholders in evaluating the company's performance. These alternative performance measures are not always comparable with the measures used by other companies since not all companies calculate these measures in the same way. These should therefore be seen as a supplement to the measures defined according to IFRS. For definitions of key figures, refer to page 22. For relevant reconciliations of the alternative performance measures that cannot be directly read in or derived from the financial statements, refer to the tables below. For historical reconciliations of alternative performance measures, refer also to supplements to the 2016-2021 Annual Reports on our website: http://www.meko.com/en/alternative-performance-measures/.
