The second quarter, which is seasonally Cary Group's strongest, developed very well, with high levels of business activity and good underlying growth. Demand was particularly strong at our newly acquired companies in Spain and Germany, but the Swedish market also experienced very high levels of demand and it is pleasing to see our market position continue to strengthen. Sales during the quarter increased by a total of 81% and amounted to SEK 1,050 million (575). Acquired companies accounted for 74% of the increased sales and organic growth amounted to 5%. Organic sales were affected by there being fewer workdays this year compared with the same period last year and this was particularly noticeable in our UK operations. Adjusted for the number of workdays, organic growth for the quarter was 7%. In an increasingly uncertain world, it is good to see that the underlying market trends remain positive, as evidenced by the continued strong organic growth.
The acquisitions of ExpressGlass in Portugal and Charles Pugh Holdings in the UK were completed during the quarter. The acquisition of ExpressGlass, together with the acquisition of Ralarsa in Spain, strengthens our presence on the Iberian peninsula. Ralarsa continued to grow on its market during the quarter, both organically and through a number of franchised workshop acquisitions, increasing the company's business volume and contributing to long-term economies of scale.
The acquisition of UK company Charles Pugh Holdings is an important part of our strategy to strengthen our market position in the United Kingdom, where we now occupy a solid second place. Through synergies and economies of scale between Charles Pugh Holdings and our existing business in the United Kingdom, Mobile Windscreens, we envisage good opportunities for increasing profitability in our UK operations.
In total, we completed acquisitions in the second quarter corresponding to revenue of SEK 424 million and in the last 12 months totalling SEK 1.9 billion.
Adjusted EBITA increased by 62% in the second quarter of 2022 and amounted to SEK 168 million (103), corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 16.1% (18.0%). The acquisitions we have made over the past year have had a dilutive effect on our margins, as expected. As we expand in Europe, the Nordic market, which is historically our most profitable region, is becoming a smaller part of the group.
It is important going forward that the newly acquired businesses are properly integrated if we are to increase profitability. Cary Group has well-developed processes for structural profitability improvement and integration, including central coordination of purchasing, marketing initiatives and IT support to achieve synergies. The strong growth of our Rest of Europe business area also gives us further opportunities for economies of scale.
We are also taking active measures to improve profitability in Norway and the UK. In Norway, we have closed unprofitable workshops and are consolidating administrative functions between existing and acquired units. In the UK, our focus is on operational efficiency that leads to savings, while also exploiting synergies following the acquisition of Charles Pugh Holdings.
The macroeconomic environment is bringing challenges, among them increased prices for purchasing. Our aim is to offset these cost increases in full. During the quarter, we were largely successful in compensating for the inflation we have experienced to date. We are also actively working to improve efficiency and control costs to continuously improve our profitability.
Our leverage amounted to 4.3x as of 30 June, as a result of continued acquisitions in line with our strategy. Our financial target allows us to temporarily have a higher debt level and the strong cash flows generated by our business will enable us to gradually reduce the debt ratio over the course the coming year. At the beginning of the second quarter, we entered into interest rate swaps for a greater portion of the company's interest rate exposure In order to make Cary Group's future interest expenses more predictable.
Cary Group strives to lead the way within the independent vehicle servicing industry with regard to climate impact and digitisation. During the quarter, we repaired, instead of replacing, over 50,237 (42,777) windscreens, saving around 2,210 (1,882) tonnes of CO2 in direct emissions.
During the second quarter, we continued to increase our growth by providing customers at our workshops with services that have the industry's highest Net Promoter Score, something that gives us a great feeling of pride.
We believe there is good underlying demand for our services, driven by a trend for larger glass surfaces on vehicles and more technologically advanced glass, coupled with increasing demand for the calibration of safety systems. Despite the uncertainty that prevails in many industries, we can see that demand for vehicle glass repair and replacement is historically a non-cyclical industry that experiences steady growth. We will continue to implement our strategy and work hard to achieve our financial targets.

2)Includes non-recurring income of 11 MSEK in the current quarter attributable to write-down of earnout.
Net revenue increased by 30% to SEK 538 million (406) in the second quarter, with organic growth increasing by 9%. High demand for repairs and replacement of automotive glass, mainly in Sweden, had a positive impact, as did acquisitions, where MPS Bilskade made the greatest contribution.
Adjusted EBITA totalled SEK 141 million (104), 36% higher than in the previous year, driven by higher sales. The adjusted EBITA margin was 26.7% (25.6), an improvement in profitability driven by stronger sales in Sweden and a generally good cost control in Sweden and Norway. Increased purchasing costs were largely offset by price adjustments during the quarter.
In Sweden, the VGRR (Vehicle Glass Repair and Replacement) business reported an extremely good level of demand and strong organic growth in sales.
Sales in the bus business of subsidiary Svenska Bussglas were lower than in the previous year, which had experienced strong demand for driver protection installed on buses to protect against Covid-19.
Sales in Norway increased compared with the previous year, both within the VGRR business and at MPS Bilskade, which operates within minor vehicle damage repair. In order to increase profitability across all Norwegian operations, the companies' group functions are now being coordinated, some workshops co-located and the customer offering broadened. These measures will lead to savings of approximately 5 MSEK of the Norwegian operations by the end of the year and approximately 15 MSEK per year from 2023.
In Denmark, demand and sales within the VGRR business were higher than last year.
The Rest of Europe segment provides services in the replacement of vehicle glass and bus glass. The segment operates via workshops and mobile units under the brand National Windscreens in the UK, through the Cary Group-owned companies Mobile Windscreens and Charles Pugh Holdings, and via the companies Ralarsa in Spain, Zentrale Autoglas in Germany and ExpressGlass in Portugal.

Net revenue increased by 203% to SEK 512 million (169) in the second quarter. The improvement in net revenue was driven by acquired Spanish company Ralarsa, German company Zentrale Autoqlas, Portuguese company ExpressGlass and the acquisition of Charles Pugh Holdings in the UK. Organic sales growth relates only to UK business Mobile Windscreens, which was also owned last year and had lower sales growth compared with the previous year. Organic sales growth was affected by there being fewer workdays compared with the previous year, as well as by capacity constraints.
Adjusted EBITA increased to SEK 49 million (17) as a result of higher sales. The adjusted EBITA margin was slightly lower in the second quarter compared with last year. Profitability amounted to 9.6% (9.9), having been affected by a weaker profitability trend in the UK as a result of lower sales, although benefiting from the acquisitions made. Increased purchasing costs continued to be offset by price adjustments during the quarter.
In the UK, we are now focusing on improving profitability by increasing the capacity utilisation of the business, streamlining distribution operations and optimising IT. Together with the acquisition Charles Pugh Holdings, savings will amount to approximately 5-10 MSEK this year and approximately 25 MSEK per year from 2023, as communicated by the time of the acquisition.
Ralarsa in Spain increased its organic sales in the second quarter compared with the previous year, driven by strong demand. Six add-on acquisitions were made in Spain during the quarter, which is a good start to our strategy for growth through add-on acquisitions. Portuquese acquisition ExpressGlass also increased its organic sales in the second quarter.
German company Zentrale Autoglas experienced strong organic sales growth of 34% during the second quarter.
As of June 30, 2022, net debt amounted to SEK 3,008 million (SEK 2,260 million on March 31, 2022), which corresponds to a leverage ratio in terms of net debt/Adjusted EBITDA (pro forma) of 4.3 times (3.6 times March 31, 2022). A weakening of the Swedish krona against other group currencies increased the net debt in SEK as of June 30, but had a minor impact on pro forma EBITDA, which thus negatively affected the debt ratio.
Long-term credit facilities amounted to SEK 2,422 million and lease liabilities to SEK 701 million. Unused credit facilities amounted to SEK 678 million as at 30 June 2022.
Equity, including non-controlling interests, amounted to SEK 1,699 million as at 30 June 2022 (SEK 1,596 million as at 31 March 2022). corresponding to an equity ratio of 29% (37%). Cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2022 amounted to SEK 256 million (31 March 2022: SEK 176 million).
At the beginning of the second quarter Cary Group entered into interest rate swaps for a greater portion of the company's interest rate exposure to make future interest expenses more predictable.
The total number of shares and votes changed as a result of the new share issue that was made in connection with the listing of the company's shares on the stock exchange on 23 September 2021. As at 30 June 2022, the total number of shares and votes was 131,848,996.
On 17 June 2021, the company adopted the following financial targets and dividend policy:
Revenue growth: Cary Group's target is to achieve average annual total revenue growth of more than 15 per cent in the medium term, at least half of which must be organic.
Profitability: Cary Group's target is to achieve an adjusted EBITA margin of 20 per cent in the medium term.
Capital structure: Cary Group's capital structure must provide a high degree of financial flexibility and enable acquisitions to be made. Cary Group's target is to have a maximum net debt ratio in relation to adjusted EBITDA of 2.5. This ratio can temporarily exceed 2.5, however, in connection with acquisitions.
Dividend policy: Cary Group aims to pay out at least 20 per cent of its net profit. Dividend decisions must take into account Cary Group's investment opportunities and financial position.
The number of full-time employees was 2,096 (1,796 at the end of the first quarter).
Sustainability is at the heart of Cary Group's identity and strategy. The company strives to lead the way within the independent vehicle servicing industry with regard to climate impact and digitisation. Key tools for achieving this include: (i) continuously increasing the repair rate (the number of vehicle glass repairs as a proportion of the total number of vehicle glass jobs; (ii) digitising and automating the customer journey; and (iii) electrifying the courtesy car fleet, including offering electric bikes. Since 2020, Cary Group has offset a portion of its direct emissions, but in 2021 the company went a step further to offset its emissions by becoming climate-neutral. Climate neutrality means that Cary Group uses offsetting to capture the same amount of CO2-equivalent emissions as the company produces, so that the sum total of emissions is zero. Cary Group offsets all Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, which means that the company not only takes responsibility for emissions from its own windscreen repair and replacement services, but also offsets the emissions generated by its suppliers.
Cary Group always aims to repair the customer's windscreen as far as possible, as replacing a windscreen involves total CO2 emissions of approximately 44 kg, including production, transport and recycling. During the second quarter, Cary Group's repair rate in Sweden was 37% (35%). Cary Group sends 100% of its windscreens for recycling. Of all the windscreens that are replaced, around 90% can be recycled and reused for other purposes, mainly as insulation products for the construction industry in Sweden and as glass bottles in the rest of Europe.
In the event of a stone chip, Cary Group's customers can analyse the damage caused using a service developed on the basis of artificial intelligence ("Al"). Whether the windscreen needs repairing or replacing, it is easy to book an appointment online for one of the workshops in Cary Group's dense workshop network. The Al-based assessment technology, combined with the dense workshop network and digital booking systems, reduces the number of kilometres driven to and from the workshops, which in turn reduces carbon emissions. More than 250 customers per day use the Al service in the Nordics and the UK.
Cary Group has decided to offer electric courtesy cars to reduce the climate impact of customers while their vehicle is being serviced. We now have a total of 84 electric courtesy cars, which corresponds to 26% of our total courtesy car fleet in Sweden and Norway. Our aim is to have a completely fossilfree vehicle fleet in the Nordics.
On page 22, there is a diagrammatic overview of our sustainable offering.
Cary Group's net sales earnings fluctuate across the seasons and this should be taken into consideration when making assessments based on quarterly financial information. The
seasonal variations are attributable to the increased demand for Vehicle Glass Repair and Replacement services late in the first quarter and throughout the second quarter.
The main functions of Cary Group Holding AB consist of business development, acquisitions, financing and business control and analysis.
The parent company's total revenue in the second quarter amounted to SEK 4 million (0). The parent company incurred other external expenses and personnel costs of SEK -9 million (-2) in the second quarter. The increase in costs is the result of investments in the central organisation as the company grows.
On 29 June, CVC Fonder and Nordic Capital, through Teniralc BidCo AB ("Teniralc"), announced a public cash offer to the shareholders of Cary Group to transfer all of the shares in Cary Group to Teniralc for a cash sum of SEK 65 per share. The independent members of Cary Group's Board of Directors have been appointed the independent bid committee, which will publish its opinion on the offer no later than 8 August, i.e. two weeks before the closing date of the acceptance period for the bid, which is 22 August.
On 1 April, the acquisition was completed of GlassCo S.A., owner of "ExpressGlass", which operates a vehicle glass repair and replacement business in Portugal.
On 4 May, the acquisition was completed of Charles Pugh Holdings, which operates a vehicle glass repair and replacement business in the United Kingdom.

Cary Group operates on several European markets and is therefore exposed to risks that can affect the Group's ability to achieve its strategic objectives and financial targets. Having an effective control environment at the company provides protection against risks. Cary Group's risk management involves identifying risks and preparing for potential unknown risks. Clear risk ownership and prioritisation of risks along with continuous evaluation of the control environment are the key to effective risk management. A risk assessment is performed annually in order to identify significant risks. The company has identified risks in several risk areas: strategic, operational, financial, risks concerning sustainability and risks relating to requlations and compliance. Risks are evaluated by the Group management and the Board of Directors and risk work is led by Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2.
The accounting policies and methods of calculation applied in the interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the company's Annual Report for 2021.
the relevant risk owner. When identifying risks, a risk map is drawn up and then used as a basis for risk mitigation measures developed by the internal control function together with the relevant risk owner. Risk work is presented on a regular basis to the Audit Committee and annually to the Board of Directors.
A more detailed description of the Group's material financial and business risks can be found in the company's Annual Report, which was published on 12 April 2022. The Annual Report is available on the company's website: www.carygroup.com.
The CEO oversees the business from a business area perspective and has identified two operating segments:

Cary Group's financial assets are essentially non-interestbearing and interest-bearing receivables, in which cash flows represent only payment for the initial investment and, where applicable, interest. Their value is intended to be held to maturity and is carried at amortised cost, which is a reasonable estimate of fair value. Financial liabilities are for the most part recognised at amortised cost.
Financial instruments measured at fair value on the balance sheet are contingent considerations consisting of liabilities with a value of SEK 130 million (131). Contingent consideration liabilities are recognised at fair value based on management's best estimate of the most likely outcome (level 3, as defined in IFRS 13). Other assets and liabilities are recognised at amortised cost.

Purchase considerations in the period totalled SEK 1,599 million on a cash-free and debt-free basis, excluding any potential contingent considerations.
On 1 January, Cary Group completed the acquisition of Zentrale Autoglas GmbH, one of Germany's leading providers of vehicle glass repair and replacement, primarily for buses and campervans. Zentrale Autoglas has a total of 25 workshops, mainly in Germany, and around 250 employees.
On 1 January, Cary Group completed the acquisition of MPS Bilskade AS, which operates within both major and minor vehicle damage repair. MPS Bilskade has 63 workshops in Norway, 9 of which it owns, and around 55 employees.
In March, MPS Bilskade acquired Baerum Lack & Karosseri AS. This acquisition gives MPS Bilskade AS a stronger market presence within SMART repair in western Oslo.
In April, Ryds Bilglas acquired Sveaplans Plåt och Lack, which operates within minor vehicle damage repair.
In April, the acquisition was completed of ExpressGlass, which operates a
vehicle glass repair and replacement business in Portugal.
In May, the acquisition was completed of Charles Pugh Holdings Ltd,
which operates a vehicle glass repair and replacement business in the United Kingdom.
In May, Ralarsa acquired six franchise-owned businesses.
Other companies and assets listed in the table above refer to acquired vehicle glass workshops and businesses in the Swedish, Danish and Spanish markets. These acquisitions give Cary Group improved geographical coverage of the market, thereby providing better access to the company's services for customers.
The table below summarises the considerations paid for the acquisitions made in the period and the fair value at the acquisition date of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

The acquisition analyses are provisional and may be adjusted in future quarters. The acquisition analysis is provisional mainly in relation to the allocation of surplus value. The surplus value recognised as goodwill relates to the future profit generation and profit synergies of the acquired companies that the acquisitions bring and does not meet the conditions for separate reporting. Other intangible non-current assets amount to SEK 508 million and
are provisionally allocated mainly to brands and customer relations. As at 30 June 2022, unsettled purchase considerations relate partly to contingent considerations valued on the basis of outcomes and partly to unpaid agreed contingent considerations. The majority of this item relates to the non-controlling interest of Zentrale Autoglas.

Sustainability is at the heart of Cary Group's identity and strategy. The company strives to have brands that are "top of mind" in each market when it comes to sustainable car care services, and to be at the forefront of digitisation and minimising climate impact within the segment. Key elements for achieving this are:

As part of our efforts to take responsibility for our climate footprint, Cary Group offsets the emissions of all our glass services in the Nordics – whether the windscreen can be repaired or has to be replaced. We do this through tree-planting projects via Plan Vivo.
1) With a maximum environmental impact of 115 CO2e g/km. 2) Based on a calculation of direct emissions in the Nordics.
