Lindab started 2022 with another strong quarter. Sales growth was high thanks to a combination of good demand for Lindab's products and necessary price increases. The operating margin increased as an effect of focus on core operations, implemented investments and proactive pricing. Lindab delivers a record strong first quarter which, by a good margin, exceeds the financial targets.
Steel prices have risen further during the first quarter, from the already high prices during the second half of last year. Lindab has handled the price increases well and has prioritised delivery performance, which is one of Lindab's most appreciated customer benefits. Long-term agreements and well-established relationships with steel suppliers have secured access to steel. Inventory levels have increased as a consequence of higher material prices and Lindab's ambition to provide customers with the best possible availability.
In February, the world was hit by an attack on democracy and freedom with Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Over the past three years, we have divested or discontinued most of the operations in Russia and Belarus, as part of focusing sales and purchases to Europe. At the beginning of 2022, Russia, Belarus and Ukraine accounted for 0.5 percent of our sales. The remaining operations in Russia are now being phased out. Activities and financial donations are being carried out all around Lindab to support Ukraine and those fleeing the war.
The war in Ukraine has led to an increase in the already high prices of energy, fuel and raw materials. We are preparing for an uncertain economic situation with a risk of reduced construction activity. We are cautious with taking on new costs and evaluate each project carefully. Lindab's good earnings capacity and strong financial position make us well prepared to handle the uncertain world we are in.
We see increased demand for energy-efficient ventilation when energy prices rise. Heating, cooling and ventilation account for a large part of a building's operating costs and high energy prices can increase the pace of the renovation wave needed for the EU to meet its climate goals. Demand for efficient ventilation may partly offset the uncertain economic outlook for the construction industry.
Our investment program continues to be implemented according to plan. It results in efficiency gains while helping us to deal with the growing shortage of labour in large parts of Europe. In addition, modernisation of our production is an important step in continuing to improve the working environment for our employees.
In early March, we announced the acquisition of the ventilation distributor Felderer in Germany. The German market has great potential for Lindab. Like in the Nordic countries, buildings are well insulated and need efficient, high-quality ventilation. In addition, German authorities are focusing on reducing energy consumption in both new and existing buildings. It is a perfect combination for Lindab. With the acquisition, sales in Germany will more than double and Lindab gains a strong position throughout the country.
We look forward to more acquisitions in 2022 to strengthen our growth. With our presence throughout Europe and a robust supply chain, we are well positioned to continue to develop our business in a positive direction, even in turbulent times.

Lindab has financial targets for growth, profitability and net debt. During the third quarter 2021, Lindab raised its targets for growth and profitability. For 2021 and 2022, the outcome regarding annual growth and adjusted operating margin is reported excluding divested business, while net debt/EBITDA is reported including divested business.
3) Excluding the effect of implemented new accounting standard IFRS 16 Leases, operating margin amounted to 13.4 percent in 2022 R 12M, 12.9 percent in 2021, 9.7 percent in 2020 and 9.0 percent in 2019.
4) Excluding the effect of implemented accounting standard IFRS 16 Leases, net debt to EBITDA amounted to 0.6 in 2022, 0.6 in 2021, 0.8 in 2020 and 1.0 in 2019.
5) Adjusted for one-off items and restructuring costs.
Lindab's sustainability plan includes goals and activities within three areas:
tonne/SEK m
3
Lindab's CO2 emissions decreased by 28 percent to 1.70 tonne per SEK m in sales from 2019 to 2021 (scope 1 and 2). This corresponds to a total reduction from 23.3 ktonnes to 16.4 ktonnes. This was mainly attributable to the increased modernisation of Lindab's facilities.
In monitoring the number of work-related accidents, Lindab applies the key figure LTIF, representing the number of accidents per million hours worked. In 2021, LTIF increased slightly to 7.3, compared with 6.7 the previous year. The number of serious accidents decreased. The target is an LTIF of less than 4 by 2026.
In 2021, Lindab has refined the sustainability plan. Goals and activities have been detailed and data has been collected in order to further improve the analysis. As part of improving our own operations, we measure development in a number of areas. Five of the most important key figures are presented below. Lindab's annual report contains detailed information about the updated plan.
For recurring suppliers, a certification process has been introduced. In 2021, 18 percent were certified. The focus has been on suppliers in countries with the highest risk. The objective is 100 percent certified suppliers by 2023.
Attractive employer
The target is for 90 percent to recommend Lindab as an employer. In 2021, we reached 91 percent.
Share of renewable fuel
The objective is for 100 percent of our own trucks to use renewable fuel by the year 2040. We are only at the beginning of this transition. In 2021, we achieved 2 percent.
Net sales during the quarter amounted to SEK 2,733 m (2,099), an increase of 30 percent. Organic growth was 23 percent and currency effects amounted to 4 percent. Structural changes contributed positively by 3 percent.
The high sales has mainly been positively affected by the price increases that have been implemented to compensate for the historically high raw material prices. The demand for Lindab's products remained strong during the first quarter of the year, where the Group as a whole reported its highest first quarter ever, in terms of sales. Sales in the comparison period were also affected by the uncertainty related to covid-19, which also contributed to the strong sales growth.
Ventilation Systems reported strong organic growth in all geographic regions. The sales growth was particularly strong in Central Europe, followed by the Nordics and Western Europe. Profile Systems' positive growth was mainly a result of increased sales of industrial projects, primarily in the Nordics, but also increased sales of rainwater systems, cladding and steel profiles for wall, roof and floor construction on several markets.
The price of steel, which is Lindab's most important commodity, has increased as a consequence of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Lindab has announced further price increases to customers to compensate for the high raw material prices.
For information about net sales for discontinued operations, see Note 6.
Adjusted operating profit for the quarter increased to SEK 340 m (208). Operating profit was adjusted with one-off items and restructuring costs of SEK -19 m (-), related to the phase-out of the operations in Russia, see Reconciliations page 22. Adjusted operating margin increased to 12.4 percent (9.9).
Ventilation Systems' adjusted operating profit increased to SEK 235 m (163) and Profile Systems' increased to SEK 122 m (58).
The improved adjusted operating profit is mainly explained by significant sales growth and positive effects from structural changes as a result of completed acquisitions. Gross margin was in line with previous year.
Profit for the quarter increased to SEK 236 m (157). Earnings per share before dilution amounted to SEK 3.09 (2.05) and after dilution to SEK 3.08 (2.05).
For information about profit for discontinued operations, see Note 6.
Lindab's business is affected by seasonal variations in the construction industry, and the highest proportion of net sales is normally seen during the second half of the year. The largest seasonal variations can be found in the segment Profile Systems. Ventilation products are mainly installed indoors which is why the Ventilation Systems segment is less dependent on season or weather conditions.
Depreciation and amortisation for the quarter amounted to SEK 106 m (92), of which SEK 7 m (7) was related to intangible assets and SEK 57 m (50) was related to the right-of-use assets attributable to rental and lease agreements. Impairment losses in the quarter amounted to SEK 2 m (2). Impairment losses for the current year have been reported as other operating expenses in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and were classified as one-off items and restructuring costs.
For information about depreciation/amortisation and impairment losses for discontinued operations, see Note 6.
Earnings before tax increased to SEK 307 m (198) in the quarter and tax on profit amounted to SEK 71 m (41). The effective tax rate amounted to 23 percent (21). The average tax rate was 20 percent (20). The higher effective tax rate compared to the average tax rate was mainly explained by that Lindab was not able to fully recognise the carry-forward tax losses generated in the quarter to reduce the total tax on profit. Also the effect from non-deductible costs/non-taxable income contributed to the higher effective tax rate compared with the average tax rate. The difference between the effective tax rate in the quarter and the corresponding tax rate in the previous year was mainly explained by the same reasons.
For information on tax for discontinued operations, see Note 6.
Cash flow before change in working capital increased by SEK 99 m and amounted to SEK 315 m (216). The improvement is mainly explained by an increase in the underlying operating profit, excluding divested business, by SEK 113 m and the operating profit amounted to SEK 321 m (208). The underlying operating profit included one-off items and restructuring costs corresponding to SEK -19 m, which is mainly not affecting cash flow. These items are related to the phase-out of operations in Russia.
The quarter's change in working capital amounted to SEK -528 m (-156). In comparison with the corresponding period previous year, the development from working capital was mainly related to increased capital tied up in stock and a lower positive effect from operating liabilities. The increased capital tied up in stock is primarily related to the strategic decision to secure access to raw materials and to prioritise delivery performance, but also a consequence of high steel prices. The change in operating liabilities compared with the previous year was mainly related to the previous year's raw material price development. In addition, discontinued operations contributed positively with cash advances from customers in the previous year. Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK -213 m (60) for the quarter.
Cash flow from financing activities for the quarter amounted to SEK 239 m (20). This included amortisation of SEK -57 m (-57) related to lease liabilities. Other changes in financing activities were related to changes in borrowing and utilisation of credit limits.
For information on cash flow per category for discontinued operations, see Note 6.
Cash flow from investing activities is explained under the headings 'Investments' and 'Business combinations'.
Investments in intangible assets and tangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 106 m (107) during the quarter, of which SEK 6 m (3) were related to investments in intangible assets. The previous year included investments in tangible fixed assets of SEK 5 m related to discontinued operations.
Cash flow from investing activities, excluding business combinations, amounted net to SEK -106 m (-105) during the quarter. The cash flow included an effect from the sale of tangible fixed assets of SEK 0 m (2).
On January 11, 2022, Lindab completed the acquisition of all shares and voting rights of the Swedish company Alig Ventilation AB. The business is primarily focused on counseling and sales of ventilation products to house manufacturers, construction contractors and private individuals. The purpose of the acquisition is to extend the Group's expertise within ventilation for smaller residential buildings. Alig Ventilation AB is based in Mariestad, Sweden. The company has an annual sales of approximately SEK 65 m and has 15 employees.
On January 20, 2022, Lindab acquired all shares and voting rights of the Swedish company Nord Trade AB. The company is a distributor of Lindab's building products and will broaden its range by including Lindab's ventilation products in the future. With the acquisition Lindab strengthens its presence in northern Sweden with the acquisition. Nord Trade AB is based in Skellefteå, Sweden. The company has an annual sales of approximately SEK 20 m and has two employees.
On March 1, 2022, Lindab signed an agreement to acquire all shares and voting rights of the German ventilation distributor Felderer AG. The company is one of Germany's largest distributors of ventilation products such as ducts, silencers, diffusers and fire protection products. Felderer AG is based in Feldkirchen, Germany. The company has an annual sales of approximately SEK 700 m and has 160 employees. The acquisition was subject to approval by the German anti-trust authorities, which was obtained on March 30.

No acquisitions or divestments have occured in the corresponding period previous year.
Net debt amounted to SEK 2,155 m (1,759) on March 31, 2021. Currency effects increased net debt by SEK 15 m (24) during the quarter.
The equity/assets ratio was 54 percent (54) and the net debt/equity ratio was 0.4 (0.3). Financial items for the quarter amounted to SEK -14 m (-10). The change in net financial items is mainly due to higher interest expenses due to a higher net debt.
The current credit limits of SEK 1,300 m with Nordea and Raiffeisen Bank International and EUR 70 m with Raiffeisen Bank International are valid until second quarter 2024. The agreements contain a covenant, which is monitored quarterly. Lindab fulfilled the condition as per March 31, 2022.
In connection with the divestment of Building Systems, at the end of December 2021, Lindab continued to be responsible for certain operational guarantee commitments amounting to EUR 30 m in favor of Building Systems. At the time of the divestment, Lindab received a Parent company guarantee from the buyer of Building Systems, which corresponded to the value of the above mentioned guarantee commitments. During the first quarter of 2022, remaining operational warranty commitments essentially passed from Lindab to the buyer of Building Systems. The remaining guarantee commitments as of March 31 are of minor value and is still covered by the buyer's Parent company guarantee.
In other respects, no significant changes took place in pledged collateral and contingent liabilities during the first quarter.

1) In the period January-March 2022, one-off items and restructuring costs of SEK -19 m (-) were recognised, see 'Reconciliations' page 22.
Net sales during the quarter amounted to SEK 1,897 m (1,469), an increase of 29 percent. Organic growth amounted to 21 percent and currency effects were 5 percent. Structural changes contributed positively by 3 percent.
The sales development during the quarter remained positive with strong organic growth in all geographical regions. Sales growth was particularly strong in Central Europe, followed by the Nordics and Western Europe. The high sales have been positively affected by the price increases that have been implemented to compensate for the historically high raw material prices. A number of markets were also affected by the uncertainty related to covid-19 during the comparison period.
Sales in Central Europe increased compared with the same period previous year. All of the larger markets, Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic, reported strong organic growth during the quarter. In the Nordics, all markets reported positive organic growth. Sales were particularly strong in Lindab's largest market, Sweden, but also in Finland and Norway. All of Lindab's markets in Western Europe reported positive organic growth. Sales growth in Ireland and Germany was strong, partly because these markets were affected by covid-19 during the comparison period.
Ventilation Systems' adjusted operating profit during the quarter increased to SEK 235 m (163). Operating profit was adjusted with one-off items and restructuring costs of SEK -19 m (-), related to the phase-out of the operations in Russia, see Reconciliations page 22. Adjusted operating margin increased to 12.4 percent (11.1).
The improved adjusted operating profit, which is the highest ever for a first quarter, is mainly explained by a strong sales growth and positive effects from structural changes. The costs have been normalised in Lindab's production facilities compared to the same period previous year, when utilisation level was slightly lower.
In January, Lindab completed the acquisition of the Swedish ventilation company Alig Ventilation AB. With the acquisition, Lindab will have access to increased expertise in ventilation in single houses and other smaller residential buildings.
In March, Lindab signed an agreement to acquire the German ventilation distributor Felderer AG. The company is one of Germany's largest distributors of ventilation products such as ducts, dampers, baffles and fire protection products. The acquisition was conditional of approval by German anti-trust authorities, which was received on March 30. The transaction is expected to be completed on April 29, when Lindab is also expected to gain a control over Felderer AG.

1) No one-off items or restructuring costs have been reported in 2022 or 2021.
Net sales during the quarter amounted to SEK 836 m (630), an increase of 33 percent. Organic growth amounted to 26 percent and currency effects were 2 percent. Structural changes contributed positively by 5 percent.
The first quarter of the year is the quarter that is most affected by prevailing weather conditions. This in combination with the delivery of major individual construction projects can have a significant impact on sales and profit.
Sales continued to develop well for Profile Systems during the quarter as a result of strong demand, primarily in the Nordics. Sales have also been positively affected by the price increases that have been implemented to compensate for the historically high raw material prices.
The organic sales growth during the quarter mainly relates to the largest region, the Nordics, where significant deliveries have been made to several individual construction projects. Sweden, which is the largest market in terms of sales, also reported strong growth of rainwater systems, cladding and steel profiles for wall, roof and floor construction. The Swedish market has a major impact on the segment, as it accounts for slightly more than half of Profile Systems' total sales.
The sales development in Central Europe was positive but varied between individual markets. Particularly strong organic growth was reported in Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania and Slovakia, while sales decreased in the region's largest market, Hungary. The lower relative sales in Hungary is explained by significant deliveries of industrial construction projects during the corresponding period previous year.
Sales in Western Europe increased slightly, but the impact was marginal as the region only represents a small part of Profile Systems' total sales.
Profile Systems' adjusted operating profit during the quarter increased to SEK 122 m (58). Adjusted operating margin increased to 14.6 percent (9.2). The improved adjusted operating profit, which is the highest ever for a first quarter, is mainly explained by a strong sales growth and strengthened gross margin as a result of a changed product and customer mix.
In January, Lindab acquired the Swedish distributor Nord Trade AB. Nord Trade AB, which is geographically located in Skellefteå, Sweden, is a wholesaler of Lindab's construction products. Through the acquisition, Lindab strengthens its presence in northern Sweden.

The consolidated accounts for the interim report have, like with the annual consolidated accounts for 2021, been prepared in in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the EU, the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board RFR 1, Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups.
This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim financial reporting. The Group has applied the same accounting policies as described in the Annual Report for 2021.
None of the new or amended standards, interpretations or improvements adopted by the EU have had any significant impact on the Group.
Information in terms of IAS 34 p. 16A Interim financial reporting has been disclosed in notes to the financial statements as well as in other pages of the interim report.
The financial statements for the parent company are prepared according to the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2, Accounting for legal entities and according to the same accounting policies as were applied in the Annual Report for 2021.
Significant estimates and judgements are described in Note 4 in the Annual Report for 2021. In addition to estimates and judgments described, there are in 2022 also estimates uncertainty related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The military invasion of Ukraine, that Russia initiated in February, has created an uncertain situation in the world. Lindab does not have any business activities in Belarus or Ukraine and during the first quarter there was a decision to phase-out the remaining business in Russia. The decision has resulted in one-off items and restructuring costs of SEK -19 m in the first quarter of 2022. In the beginning of 2022, the three mentioned countries accounted for 0.5 percent of the Group's sales. The significant estimates and judgments made have been partly related to expected costs to close the business in Russia and partly related to possible indirect effects on other businesses, since a long and/or intensified conflict may result in increased risks for the Group. The development of the conflict is closely monitored by Lindab and the Group continuously evaluates different scenarios in order to be able to adapt its operations to prevailing circumstances.
With exception of the added significant estimates and judgements related to Russia´s war against Ukraine, no essential changes, which could have a material impact on this interim report, have been made to what is described in the Annual Report.
On January 11, 2022, Lindab completed the acquisition of all shares and voting rights of the Swedish company Alig Ventilation AB. The company has focused on ventilation for smaller properties and handles both new construction and renovation. With the acquisition, Lindab will obtains access to increased expertise for ventilation of single houses and smaller residential buildings. In addition, the acquisition provides established relationships with Swedish manufacturers of single-family homes and a direct sales channel to consumers. Alig Ventilation AB is registered in Mariestad, Sweden. The company has an annual sales of approximately SEK 65 m and has 15 employees.
The purchase consideration of Alig Ventilation AB was mainly settled at time of acquisition. Transaction related costs amounted to SEK 1 m, recognised as other operating expenses. The costs have mainly been recognised in 2021.
According to preliminary purchase price allocation analysis, the acquisition resulted in a goodwill. This goodwill is primarily related to increased expertise for ventilation of single residential houses. Identified intangible assets are mainly related to customer relations.
Alig Ventilation AB was consolidated in Lindab as of January 11, 2022. The acquisition has limited impact on the consolidated statement of profit or loss as well as the consolidated statement of financial position. The company is part of the Ventilation Systems segment.
On January 20, 2022, Lindab acquired all shares and voting rights of the Swedish company Nord Trade AB. The company is a distributor of Lindab's building products and will broaden its range by including Lindab's ventilation products in the future. Lindab strengthens its presence in northern Sweden with the acquisition of Nord Trade AB. Nord Trade AB is registered in Skellefteå, Sweden. The company has an annual sales of approximately SEK 20 m and has two employees.
The purchase consideration of Nord Trade AB was mainly settled at time of acquisition. Transaction related costs amounted to SEK 0 m, recognised as other operating expenses.
According to primarily purchase price allocation analysis, the acquisition resulted in a goodwill. This goodwill is primarily related to that Lindab strengthens its presence in northern Sweden. Identified intangible assets are mainly related to customer relations.
Nord Trade AB was consolidated in Lindab as of January 20, 2022. The acquisition has limited impact on the consolidated statement of profit or loss as well as the consolidated statement of financial position. The company is part of the Profile Systems segment.
On March 1, 2022, Lindab signed an agreement to acquire all shares and voting rights of the German ventilation company Felderer AG. The company is one of Germany's largest distributors of ventilation products such as ducts, silencers, diffusers and fire protection products. They also manufacture circular ventilation ducts. The acquisition complements Lindab in many levels and is expected to significantly expand and broaden the Group's ventilation offering in Germany. With the acquisition Lindab more than doubles its sales in Germany and gains a strong position throughout the country.
Felderer AG is registered in Feldkirchen, Germany. The company has an annual sales of approximately SEK 700 m, has an operating margin that is currently lower than Lindab's operating margin and the company has 160 employees. The acquisition was subject to approval by the German anti-trust authorities, which was obtained on March 30. The transaction is expected to close on April 29, when Lindab is also expected to gain control over Felderer AG. The company will be part of the Ventilation Systems segment.
In terms of 2022, the cash flow related to acquisitions derives, beside previously mention transactions, from settlement of conditional additional purchase considerations of SEK 4 m in terms of previously made business combinations.

2) The purchase price allocations were preliminary as of March 31, due to not finalised valuations of identified intangible assets.
3) No portion of reported goodwill is deductible for income tax.
4) Includes conditional additional purchase considerations of SEK 12 m, which will be settled fully or partly if future expectations of identified levels of sales and profitability are met during a period of 3 years. Total possible undiscounted amount for all recognised future conditional additional purchase consideration is between SEK 0-24 m. On March 31, 2022, it was considered likely that a maximum of potential remaining consideration would occur.
There were no acquisitions or divestments during the first quarter of 2021.
The Group's segments comprise Ventilation Systems and Profile Systems. In December 2021 the segment Building Systems was divested, see Note 6, and is therefore no longer included in the segment information.
The basis for segmental reporting is the various customer offers provided by each business area. The customer offers within each segment were follows:
Both Ventilation Systems' and Profile Systems' operations are managed based on geographically divided sales organisations, which are supported by a number of product and system areas with joint production and purchasing functions for each business area. What is reported under Other includes the Parent company and other common functions.
Information on income from external customers and adjusted operating profit per operating segment is presented in the tables on page 10. See also pages 8-9 for further segment information.
Internal prices between the Group's segments are set based on the principle of arm's length, that is, between parties that are independent of each other, well-informed and have an interest in the transaction being carried out. Assets and investments are reported where the asset exists.

Derivatives relate to forward exchange contracts which are valued at fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward rate and the forward rate that can be subscribed for on the balance sheet date for the remaining contract term. The fair value of interest-bearing liabilities to credit institutions is provided for the purpose of disclosure and is calculated by discounting the future cash flows of principal and interest payments, discounted at current market interest rate.
The derivative assets, derivative liabilities and interest-bearing liabilities to credit institutions that exist can all be found at Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
For other financial assets and liabilities, the carrying amount is deemed to be a reasonable approximation of fair value. The Group holdings of unlisted shares, the fair value of which cannot be estimated reliably, are recognised at acquisition cost. The carrying amount is SEK 4 m (4).
On September 23, 2021, Lindab signed an agreement to divest all shares and voting rights in the business area/segment Building Systems. Based on the decision to divest and the agreement as well as the current structure of the business, all prerequisites was assessed to be complied to in order to recognise Building Systems as an asset held for sale/a discontinued operation. This in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. The classification was applied as of the third quarter 2021.
The agreement to divest Building Systems was, among other things, conditioned and subject to anti-trust approval in Russia. During the fourth quarter, this approval was obtained from the Russian authority and the divestment of Building Systems was finalised by end of December 2021. As a consequence, Building Systems was recognised as discounted operations by end of the fourth quarter 2021.
For interim reports prepared in 2022, the application of IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations implies, among other things, that net profit after tax for Building Systems in the comparison period is recognised separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, distinguished from the continuing operations. In the consolidated statement of cash flow is operating profit for continuing respectively discontinued operations/operations held for sale recognised separately, but thereafter is the cash flow presented for Lindab as a Group. For information about Building Systems in the comparison period 2021, see page 21.

1) For the period January-December, 2021, were one-off items and restructuring costs related to the divestment of Building Systems recognised within operating profit. These one-off items and restructuring costs amounted to SEK -456 m. The value was a consequence of the made decision to divest Building Systems and mainly related to impairment of goodwill, when assessing the value to the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. For the period January-December, 2021, were one-off items and restructuring costs impacting net profit by SEK -441 m.

The company presents certain financial measures in the interim report which are not defined according to IFRS. The company considers these measures to provide valuable supplementary information for investors and the company's management as they enable the assessment of relevant trends. Lindab's definitions of these measures may differ from other companies' definitions of the same terms. These financial measures should therefore be seen as a supplement rather than as a replacement for measures defined according
to IFRS. Definitions of measures which are not defined according to IFRS and which are not mentioned elsewhere in the interim report are presented below. Reconciliation of these measures is shown in the tables below. As the amounts in the tables below have been rounded off to SEK m, the calculations do not always add up due to round-off.
Amounts in SEK m unless otherwise indicated. Continuing operations include business area Ventilation Systems and Profile Systems. Total operations include divested business in comparable numbers.
