"All three divisions experienced good demand, won new business and improved earnings. The Design Management division achieved the biggest improvement in Q2 2022, doubling EBITA from SEK 40 to 80 m."
Johan Andersson President and CEO
The second quarter was another record quarter for Addnode Group, with good demand, high organic growth and improved EBITA. Net sales increased by 49 per cent, of which 11 per cent currency adjusted organic, to SEK 1,489 m. EBITA was up by 57 per cent to SEK 154 m. Earnings per share rose by 73 per cent to SEK 0.52 (0.30) per share.
All three divisions experienced good demand, won new business and improved earnings. The Design Management division achieved the biggest improvement, doubling EBITA from SEK 40 to 80 m. Primarily, the Design Management division's growth and earnings gains were driven by strong sales by Symetri and Microdesk, which was acquired in March 2022.
Addnode Group is continuously creating value by acquiring enterprises that complement its current businesses. We bring industry expertise and structural capital to accelerate sales, product development and the supply of competence development. Together, we create synergies and even more value for our customers.
Jointly with Symetri, our acquisition of Microdesk of the USA creates a global market leader delivering Autodesk solutions for BIM, product design and lifecycle management to over 20,000 European and US customers. Demand on the US market was positive in the second quarter, and initially, Microdesk's sales were better than expected. By sharing product portfolios, skills and resources between geographies, over time, we intend to attain a stable profitability level in our new US business.
In total, we've completed four acquisitions in 2022. We acquired Decisive, the Process Management division's first acquisition in Norway, in the second quarter. We make a strong offering to Sweden's public sector, and also see high growth potential in Norway.
Addnode Group is well positioned to benefit from continued digitalisation. Demand from private and public sector customers is driven by urbanisation, more stringent sustainability standards, altered working methods and the need for rationalisation. We deliver digital solutions to our customers to automate and streamline business-critical processes. Our business segments are design, production and managing of products, real estate and infrastructure, document and case management, as well as the creation and management of digital twins.
Long-term customer relationships and a business model with a high share of recurring revenue aid stability over time. Investing in a digital solution for a business-critical process is an undertaking for our customers, and ourselves as a provider. Customer relationships extending over 20 years back in time are not unusual. Recurring revenue increased by 56 per cent to SEK 1,019 m (653) and its share of net sales increased to 68 (65) per cent.
While I'm proud of Addnode Group's positive progress, we're attentive to how an uncertain business environment, with the conflict in Ukraine, supply chain disruptions, rising interest rates and inflation, may impact demand. A strong financial position with a low debt/equity ratio, an extended credit facility and a business model with a high share of recurring revenue, offer us the freedom to keep executing on our strategy for profitable and sustainable growth.
Johan Andersson President and CEO
Addnode Group acquires, operates and develops cutting edge enterprises that digitalise society. We create sustainable value growth over time by continuously acquiring new enterprises and actively supporting our subsidiaries to drive organic earnings growth.
Addnode Group's subsidiaries are organised into three divisions: Design Management, Product Lifecycle Management and Process Management. A decentralised business model means that business-critical decisions are made close to customers and markets.
Addnode Group consists of approximately 20 companies, active in 19 countries across four continents. The employee headcount is approximately 2,300.
The Group is one of Europe's market-leading providers of software and services for design and construction, product data information, project collaboration and facility management. The group is also a leading provider of digital solutions for design and construction in the USA. Addnode Group is also a leading provider of document and case management systems for Sweden's public authorities.
SUSTAINABILITY AGENDA
Addnode Group contributes to sustainable development in several fields. The digital solutions we develop in close partnership with our customers help create a more sustainable society. Our solutions are used for sustainable and resource-efficient design and product lifecycle management, simulations that benefit the environment and health, and better engagement and dialogue with the public.
Addnode Group's sustainability work proceeds from its Sustainability Agenda. This Agenda defines five focus areas that are the foundation of the Group's collective commitment to sustainability. We have defined key indicators for each focus area designed to drive our work on the Sustainability Agenda forward. Our performance is presented each year in our Sustainability Report, which is part of Addnode Group's Annual Report.
UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with the clearest connection to Addnode Group's sustainability agenda:
In June 2022, Addnode Group acquired Decisive AS of Norway, with net sales of approximately SEK 57 m, and 25 employees. The company is a leading provider of rulebased decision support systems for the Norwegian public sector. The company was consolidated effective June 2022, into the Process Management division.
Addnode Group's AGM on 4 May 2022 approved the Board of Directors' proposal for a 4:1 share split. The number of shares increased to 134.5 million, and the number of votes increased to 170.1 million. The first day of trading in the company's share after the share split was 17 May 2022.
In June 2022, Addnode Group exercised its option to extend its SEK 1,600 m revolving credit facility by one year, with other terms & conditions unchanged. Accordingly, the new maturity date of the credit facility is June 2025.
Supported by an authorisation from the AGM 2022, Addnode Group's Board of Directors decided on the repurchase of class B treasury shares in June 2022. The main purpose of utilising this authorisation is to enable the delivery of shares associated with executing Addnode Group's share-based incentive programme. A maximum of 230,000 class B shares may be repurchased, and this will be on Nasdaq Stockholm.
No significant events have occurred since the end of the period.
The positive start to the year was followed by another strong quarter of good net sales growth and increased earnings.
Net sales increased to SEK 1,489 m (1,002), growth of 49 per cent. Organic growth was 14 per cent, while currency-adjusted organic growth was 11 per cent.
Demand for Design Management's digital solutions and services remained positive in the Nordics and demonstrated particular strength in the UK. Design Management's new business operation in the USA, Microdesk, performed above expectations thanks to greater willingness to invest by US customers. Product Lifecycle Management continued its positive progress, experiencing especially positive demand on the UK market. Once again, Process Management's high organic growth corroborated the leadership status of the division's offering to Sweden's public sector, as well as the division winning market shares in several segments. There is intense competition over talent on the labour market in several of the Group's areas of competence. To be able to grow, we must continue to be able to attract the right staff with high skills levels.

Design Management is a leading global provider of digital solutions and services for design, BIM and product data for architects and engineers in the construction and manufacturing industries. The division also has a strong offering in project collaboration and facility management in the Nordic countries and UK.
Net sales increased to SEK 806 m (439) in the second quarter of 2022, growth of 84 per cent. Organic growth was 19 per cent, and 15 per cent currency adjusted. The demand for Symetri's digital solutions and services remained good, as reflected in the division's growth and earnings development. Demand in the Nordics remained positive from the AEC segment, and from manufacturing. The demand increase was especially positive in the UK, and our customers value an Autodesk partner with proprietary related products and services. Symetri's new operation in the USA, Microdesk, performed above expectations thanks to increased demand in the AEC segment on the US market. Additionally, new business sales and renewals of three-year agreements, as for the rest of Symetri, performed above expectations. Operations providing collaborative portals for construction and infrastructure, and operations providing facility management, made good progress, especially in the Nordics.
EBITA increased to SEK 80 m (40), and the EBITA margin widened to 9.9 per cent (9.1).
Over time, through a series of acquisitions, Symetri has created a strong and profitable northern European actor. The acquisition of Microdesk in March 2022 brought a presence in the USA, making Symetri one of the world's largest Autodesk partners, with global reach. Work on adding proprietary products to Microdesk's current offerings, sharing know-how and resources cross-border and realising cost rationalisations, continues. The company was consolidated effective 1 March 2022.
The division operates through the companies Symetri, Service Works Global and Tribia. Customers' willingness to invest is driven by urbanisation and the need to build and manage efficiently and sustainably. To improve efficiency, customers are digitalising their processes and adopting new working methods. Regulatory authorities are demanding more adoption of digital working methods based on BIM.

Product Lifecycle Management is a global provider of solutions for digitalising a product's or facility's complete lifecycle—from idea, design, simulation and construction to sale, aftermarket and recycling. For our customers this means shorter lead-times, more innovation, increased efficiency, and traceability.

Initiatives in simulation solutions and solutions for customers in Life Sciences progressed well. EBITA increased to SEK 35 m (27), and the EBITA margin was 8.9 per cent (9.0).
In the first quarter of the year, the division enhanced its advanced simulation offerings through the acquisition of Claytex of the UK, which specialises in simulation and testing in the automotive industry. It also made a complementary acquisition for the German operation, DESYS. The acquired enterprises are partners of Dassault Systèmes, and also have proprietary, unique peripheral products and services. Claytex was consolidated effective 1 January 2022, and DESYS effective 1 March 2022. Both these operations performed as planned.
The division's operations are conducted through the company TECHNIA, one of Europe's leading providers of PLM software and consulting services.

In 2022, Addnode Group has acquired all the shares of four operations; Claytex Services Limited ("Claytex"), DESYS GmbH ("DESYS"), Microdesk LLC and M2 Technologies LLC ("Microdesk"), as well as Decisive AS ("Decisive"). In the period January-June 2022, these acquisitions contributed net sales of SEK 445 m and EBITA of SEK 22 m. SEK 13 m (3) of costs for completing the acquisitions are included in the Group's other external costs, and mainly relate to the acquisition of Microdesk. If the acquisitions had been conducted as of 1 January 2022, the group's net sales in January-June 2022 would have been approximately SEK 3,052 m and EBITA approximately SEK 347 m.
Microdesk, acquired on 1 March 2022, is a Platinum Partner of Autodesk, and has about 300 employees in the USA and UK. This acquisition means the Design Management division is securing a strong position on the US market, and with the division's existing operations, Addnode Group will be the leading global provider of Autodesk solutions. The company has net sales of some USD 110 m (approx. SEK 1,000 m). The purchase consideration for all shares could be a maximum of some USD 50 m, of which USD 26 m is fixed, and up to USD 24 m depends on future financial performance. The company is being consolidated into the Design Management division effective March 2022.
Claytex, acquired in January 2022, is a UK partner of Dassault Systèmes. The company specialises in advanced simulation and testing for the automotive industry and consolidates Addnode Group's offering in the segment. The company also offers complementary proprietary software. Claytex has sales of approximately SEK 25 m and 15 employees. Operations were consolidated effective January 2022 as part of Addnode Group's company TECHNIA in the Product Lifecycle Management division.
On 1 March 2022, Addnode Group acquired DESYS GmbH (DESYS), a leading partner of Dassault Systèmes in Germany, which also offers proprietary complementary software solutions.

The acquisition of DESYS includes a noncurrent, non-interest-bearing liability of EUR 0.1 m, and a current non-interest-bearing liability of EUR 0.5 m entered as liabilities. A noncurrent contingent consideration of a maximum of NOK 35 m may be payable for the acquisition of Decisive, of which NOK 19 m has been entered as a liability, as well as a current, non-interest-bearing liability of NOK 5 m.
Cash and cash equivalents held by the Group amounted to SEK 597 m (475) as of 30 June 2022.
Addnode Group's SEK 1,600 m credit facility arranged in June 2021 had a three-year term with 1+1 year extension. In June 2022, Addnode Group exercised its option to extend the credit facility by one year to June 2025, with other terms & conditions unchanged.
SEK 1,008 m (761) of the credit facility had been utilised as of 30 June 2022, which meant available credit of SEK 592 m (839). The used portion of the credit facility has been classified under non-current liabilities.
SEK 190 m (108) of the interest-bearing liabilities in addition to the utilised portion of the credit facility of SEK 1,008 m (761) related to leases. There were no interestbearing liabilities related to completed acquisitions (SEK 3 m). Consequently, the Group's total interest-bearing liabilities were SEK 1,198 m (872), and the Group's net debt was SEK 601 million (396). The equity/assets ratio was 32 per cent (39).
Non-interest-bearing liabilities related to completed acquisitions were SEK 99 m (7), and estimated contingent considerations for completed acquisitions were SEK 362 m (119). A total of SEK 57 m of provisions and liabilities for acquisitions completed in 2021 or earlier are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Cash flow from operating activities in the period January-June 2022 was SEK 364 m (201). The SEK 163 m increase related mainly to improved operating profit, but also to the favourable progress of working capital. Cash flow from investing activities include payments for proprietary software of SEK 52 m (40), and received consideration for the office property in Enfield, UK. Investments in subsidiaries and operations meant a negative cash flow of SEK 358 m (251), of which SEK 44 m was final settlement of the purchase consideration to the sellers of the shares of Excitech. Financing activities were negatively impacted by SEK 44 m (35) of amortisation of the lease liability, and a share dividend payment of SEK 100 m (84) to shareholders in May 2022, pursuant to AGM resolution. Bank loans of SEK 304 m (-) were arranged in tandem with acquisitions.
SEK 113 m (70) of investments were made in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, of which SEK 52 m (40) was proprietary software.
In January 2022, Addnode Group sold the office property in Enfield UK, which was included in the acquisition of Excitech in 2020 and intended for sale at the time of acquisition. Addnode Group's capital gain was SEK 24 m.
The Group's carrying amount of goodwill was SEK 2,630 m (2,068) on 30 June 2022. Other intangible assets amounted to SEK 755 m (493), mainly customer contracts, trademarks and software.
Deferred tax assets were SEK 79 m (20) as of 30 June 2022, of which SEK 10 m (10) were tax-loss carryforwards. As of 30 June 2022, the group's total loss carryforwards were approximately SEK 85 m (75).
Equity as of 30 June 2022 was SEK 1,793 m (1,607), equivalent to SEK 13.41 (11.95) per outstanding share.
Share capital was SEK 403 m at the end of the period. The quotient value per share was SEK 3.00. The division by share class as of 30 June 2022 was as follows:
| Share class | No. of outstanding shares |
|---|---|
| Class A shares | 3,948,696 |
| Class B shares | 130,579,536 |
| Repurchased class B shares |
-800,000 |
| Total | 133,728,232 |
Addnode Group AB's holdings of treasury shares as of 30 June 2022 were 800,000 class B shares, corresponding to 0.6 per cent of the number of shares, and 0.5 per cent of the number of votes. The Board of Directors has decided to repurchase another 230,000 class B shares, utilising its mandate from the AGM 2022.
After a resolution by Addnode Group's AGM of 2022, a long-term incentive programme was launched for managers and senior executives. 56,950 call options of class B shares were issued to some 40 participants in June 2022. The market-valued call option premium of SEK 49.70 generated a total purchase consideration of approximately SEK 3 m. These options can be exercised for class B shares in the period 25 October 2025 to 10 June 2026, in specific periods stated in the agreement.
At the end of the period, there were two outstanding call option programmes, as follows:
| Option programme | No. of outstanding options |
Exercise price | |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTIP 2021 | 195,8001) | 93.73 | |
| LTIP 2022 | 56,9501) | 115.80 | |
| Total | 252,750 |
1) Each option carries entitlement to purchase four shares.
The average number of employees of the Group increased to 2,048 (1,759). The number of employees as of 30 June 2022 was 2,298 (1,897 as of 31 Dec. 2021). Essentially, this increase is from acquired operations.
During 2022 and via a company, Chairman of the Board Staffan Hanstorp invoiced the Parent Company SEK 1.3 m (1.4) in fees for consulting services associated with the Group's acquisition opportunities, financing matters, strategic partnerships and overarching strategic issues.
Historically, the fourth quarter has the highest revenue and EBITA, but as the share of recurring revenue increases, the Group's seasonality is reducing.
Net sales were SEK 12 m (5) in January-June 2022, mainly consisting of invoicing to subsidiaries for premises rent and services rendered. The loss after financial items was SEK -20 m (-10) including SEK 60 m (66) of dividends from subsidiaries, and SEK -45 m (-) of impairment of shares in subsidiaries. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 371 m (351) as of 30 June 2022. Investments in shares in subsidiaries were SEK 180 m (342). There were no significant investments in intangible assets or property, plant and equipment.
This Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the EU and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The Parent Company's accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. Amendments and interpretations of existing standards that became effective in 2022 have not had any impact on the Group's financial position or the financial statements. The accounting policies and calculation methods are unchanged compared with the description in the Annual Report for 2021.
Deferred tax assets attributable to tax loss carry-forwards are reported as assets to the extent it is likely that the loss carry-forwards can be offset against surpluses in future taxation.
Estimated contingent considerations on the acquisition of Microdesk have been discounted. Measurement of financial assets and liabilities shows that there is no significant difference between their carrying amounts and fair value. The Group had no outstanding currency forward contracts as of 30 June 2022.
The Group's incentive programme enables managers and senior executives to acquire Class B shares of the company by investing in call options. Call option premiums received, measured at market value at the time of acquisition, are recognised in shareholders' equity as transactions with owners.
The AGM on 4 May 2022 re-elected Jan Andersson, Kristofer Arwin, Johanna Frelin, Staffan Hanstorp, Sigrun Hjelmquist, Thord Wilkne and Kristina Willgård as Directors. Staffan Hanstorp was re-elected as Chairman of the Board.
The Meeting approved a dividend of SEK 3.00 per share, an increase of SEK 0.50 per share on the previous year. The dividend was disbursed to shareholders on 11 May 2022.
The Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to decide on a new issue of class B shares on one or more occasions in the period until the following AGM, with or without departing from shareholders' preferential rights. Through a decision supported by this authorisation, the number of class B shares may increase by an aggregate maximum of 10 per cent based on the number of outstanding class B shares of the company at the time of the first exercise of the authorisation. The authorisation should also include entitlement to decide on a new issue of class B shares with provisions on payment in kind, or shares to be subscribed through right of offset, or other terms & conditions as stated in chap. 13 §7 of the Swedish Companies Act.
The AGM also decided to authorise the Board of Directors to decide on the purchase and transfer of treasury shares on one or more occasions in the period until the following AGM. The company may purchase a maximum of as many class B treasury shares so that at any time after purchase, the company holds an aggregate maximum of 10 per cent of the total number of shares of the company. In June 2022, the Board of Directors decided to utilise this mandate to repurchase a maximum of 230,000 class B shares, mainly to enable delivery of shares in Addnode Group's LTIP 2022 incentive programme.
The AGM decided to adopt a long-term share-related incentive programme ("LTIP 2022"), for executives of Addnode Group, which means that participants gain the opportunity to purchase call options on class B shares of the company repurchased by Addnode Group, at market price. The number of call options to be issued may be a maximum of 110,000, corresponding to approximately 0.33 per cent of the total number of shares, and approximately 0.26 per cent of the total number of votes of Addnode Group. Each call option carries entitlement to purchase four (4) repurchased class B shares of the company in specific stipulated periods from the day after publication of the Interim Report for July-September 2025, the Year-end Report for 2025, and the Interim Report for January-March 2026, albeit no later than 10 June 2026 inclusive.
The AGM approved the Board of Directors' proposal on dividing the number of shares of the company 4:1 (share split). Through the share split, the number of shares of the company increased from 33,632,058 to 134,528,232 shares, of which 3,948,696 class A shares, and 130,579,536 class B shares. The number of votes increased from 42,516,624, to 170,066,496. After the split, the quotient value of the share is SEK 3.00.
Addnode Group's significant risks and uncertainties are described in the Annual Report for 2021 on pages 29-31 and 37, in the "Risks and uncertainties" section on page 69, as well as notes 36 and 37 on pages 112–116.
The Group's operations are diversified in terms of offerings, customer segments and geography, which inherently implies risk diversification. This is a proven strength in challenging times, as for example, during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Board of Directors has not altered its assessment of Addnode Group's long-term future outlook compared to the preceding quarter. In the Interim Report for the First Quarter of 2022, the Board of Directors stated the following outlook: In the long-term, Addnode Group regards the segments where it is active to have strong underlying potential. Addnode Group's growth strategy is to grow organically and by acquiring new businesses in the aim of adding new, complementary offerings and additional expertise.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has had impacts on the global economy including increased oil and energy prices, supply chain delays and turmoil on global stock markets. Addnode Group has no operations in Russia, Belarus or the Ukraine. The Group has only a small number of customers in the region, so its exposure is very limited. Because it is not possible to predict the duration or scope of the conflict and its impact on the global economy and general security, the Board of Directors notes a significant risk that Addnode Group may be impacted financially in 2022.
Addnode Group is retaining its decision not to issue a forecast.
The Board of Directors and President certify that this Half-year Interim Report gives a true and fair view of the Parent Company's and Group's operations, financial position and results of operations, and describes significant risks and uncertainties facing the Parent Company and the companies in the Group.

Addnode Group's operations are organised and governed based on the Design Management, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Process Management divisions, which make up the Group's operating segments. Within Addnode Group's three divisions, the subsidiaries deliver software and digital solutions to customers in sectors including construction and real estate, manufacturing, the auto industry, medical devices and the public sector. The solutions that Addnode Group delivers enable our customers to use digital working methods to rationalise their operations, quality-assure their production and communicate better with customers and members of the public. Segment division is based on the Group's products and services.
There has been no change to segment division since the most recent Annual Report.
The difference between the total of the segments' operating profit and consolidated profit before tax consists of financial income of SEK 8 m (1) and financial expenses of SEK -20 m (-11).
Acquisitions completed in the year mean that operating capital in segments has increased in 2022 compared to the disclosures in the Annual Report for 2021: Design Management by SEK 653 m, PLM by SEK 47 m and Process Management by 94 MSEK. Operating capital is defined as the total of goodwill and other intangible non-current assets, property, plant and equipment, financial assets, trade receivables and other operating assets, less trade payables and other operating liabilities.

1) EBITA included a capital gain of SEK 24 m from the sale of an office property in the UK. EBITA adjusted for this capital gain was SEK 156 m, corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 11.8 per cent.
2) In Q3 2020, EBITA was charged with one-off costs of SEK 8 m for adapting the Product Lifecycle Management division's organisational structure and cost base. Excluding these restructuring costs, consolidated EBITA would have been SEK 92 m, and the EBITA margin would have been 11.4 per cent. The EBITA of the Product Lifecycle Management division in Q3 2020 would have been SEK 25 m, and the EBITA margin would have been 9.7 per cent.
3) Key financial ratios have been restated to reflect annualised return.

1) Due to the 4:1 share split executed in May 2022, historical key financial ratios based on the number of shares have been restated.
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has issued information on Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) for companies with securities listed on a regulated market in the EU, which apply to Alternative Performance Measures in published mandatory information. Alternative Performance Measures are financial metrics on historical or future performance of earnings, financial position, financial results or cash flows that are not defined or stated in the applicable rules for financial reporting. Certain performance metrics are used in this Interim Report that are not defined in IFRS, with the intention of offering investors, financial analysts and other stakeholders clear and relevant information on the company's operations and performance. The use of these performance metrics and reconciliation with the financial statements are presented below.
Definitions on page 22.
EBITA is a metric the Group considers relevant to investors, financial analysts and other stakeholders to understand earnings generation before investments in intangible non-current assets. This measure is an expression of operating profit before the amortisation and impairment of intangible non-current assets.
The Group considers this key ratio useful to the readers of financial statements as a complement in evaluating dividend potential, making strategic investments and assessing the Group's potential to satisfy financial obligations. This key ratio is an expression of the level of financial borrowing in absolute terms after deducting cash and cash equivalents.
