"We ended 2021 delivering our strongest quarter ever, with record sales, operating earnings and profitability. The quarter was, however, not without its challenges. The strained component supply reduced sales and organic growth by 6 per cent resulting in a further increase in order backlog and additional cost pressures. But as evident in the strong operating results, we successfully mitigated this constraint across the business.
Geosystems continued its stellar performance despite a strained supply chain, delivering 7 per cent organic growth – driven by high demand in infrastructure, construction and for reality capture solutions. Manufacturing Intelligence recorded 9 per cent organic growth, fuelled by the continued recovery across all end markets as well as strong demand for design and engineering solutions. PPM continued to recover, driven by a pick up in core process industries and strong growth in our AEC portfolio. This was our first quarter with EAM solutions. The integration of Infor's EAM business is progressing well and the SaaS revenue growth was 42 per cent in the quarter.
During the quarter we continued to expand our green-tech initiatives through R-evolution, announcing efforts to map the threatened seagrass meadows of the Caribbean islands, using bathymetric sensors, in order to protect and preserve vital blue carbon ecosystems.
Despite an unpredictable overall outlook, we're starting 2022 with a strong orderbook and new ambitious five year financial targets."

Operating net sales increased by 17 per cent to 1,216.7 MEUR (1,044.1). Using fixed exchange rates and a comparable group structure (organic growth), net sales increased by 7 per cent. Regionally, organic growth was 12 per cent in the Americas, 7 per cent in EMEA and 1 per cent in Asia. In the Americas, North America recorded 9 per cent organic growth, fuelled by a strong recovery in automotive, general manufacturing and power and energy and continued solid demand in surveying and infrastructure and construction, but hampered by weakness in defence. South America continued to record high double-digit growth driven by strong growth in mining, agriculture and power and energy. In EMEA, Western Europe recorded 6 per cent organic growth, mainly driven by solid growth in surveying, manufacturing, infrastructure and construction, and a strong recovery in automotive. Russia, the Middle East and Eastern Europe also continued to record strong organic growth. In Asia, China recorded 2 per cent organic growth, hampered by availability issues in infrastructure and construction and a tough comparison. India recorded solid double-digit growth, whereas Japan, South Korea and New Zealand declined.
Adjusted operating earnings (EBIT1) increased by 24 per cent to 373.1 MEUR (299.7), which corresponds to an adjusted operating margin of 30.7 per cent (28.7). The adjusted operating margin (EBIT1) was positively impacted by volume growth and a richer product mix. Adjusted operating earnings (EBIT1) were positively impacted by currency translation effects of 9.1 MEUR and positively impacted by currency transaction effects of 1.8 MEUR. Earnings before taxes, excluding adjustments, amounted to 367.6 MEUR (292.4) and were positively impacted by currency translation effects of 5.4 MEUR.
The adjustments for the quarter consist of share-based program expenses (LTIP) 9.2 MEUR (0), amortisation of surplus values (PPA) 21.5 MEUR (12.5), acquired deferred revenue 6.3 MEUR (6.1) and non-recurring items 163.0 MEUR (28.1) related to transaction and integration costs and non-cash impairments of overlapping technologies associated with the acquisition of Infor's EAM business.

Hexagon applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. Hexagon's report for the Group is prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting and the Annual Accounts Act. Parent company accounts are prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act. Accounting principles and calculation methods are unchanged from those applied in the Annual Report for 2020, see note 1 for further information.
As an international group, Hexagon is exposed to a number of business and financial risks. The business risks can be divided into strategic, operational and legal risks. The financial risks are related to such factors as exchange rates, interest rates, liquidity and the ability to raise funds. Risk management in Hexagon aims to identify, control and reduce risks. This work begins with an assessment of the probability of risks occurring and their potential effect on the Group. There has been no change in the risks facing the Group compared to what was reported in the Annual Report 2020.
Hexagon's share programme is accounted for according to IFRS 2 and is classified as an equity-settled share-based payment transaction, which means the programme is reported within equity. Social fees are reported as a liability in the balance sheet. The cost of each share-based incentive programme is estimated at 60 MEUR and is allocated over the respective vesting period. The cost is recognised as a personnel expense in the profit or loss statement during the vesting period. The purpose of the share programme is to strengthen Hexagon's ability to retain and recruit competent
employees, provide competitive remuneration and to align the interests of the shareholders with the interests of the employees concerned. Through a share-based incentive programme, the employees' remuneration is tied to the company's earnings and value growth and creates long-term incentives for the programme participants.
Currently, Hexagon has two ongoing programmes, with vesting periods of 2020/2023 and 2021/2024
No significant related party transactions have been incurred during the quarter.

In Hexagon's balance sheet derivatives and other long-term securities holdings are carried at fair value. Derivatives are measured at fair value based on valuation techniques with observable market data as input (level 2 according to definition in IFRS 13). Other longterm securities holdings amount to insignificant numbers. Liabilities for contingent considerations are measured at fair value and based on management's best estimation of the most probable outcome (level 3 according to definition in IFRS 13). Other assets and liabilities are carried at accrued cost.
For financial assets and liabilities that are carried at accrued cost, the fair value is deemed to be coincident with the carrying amount except for long-term liabilities to credit institutions. The difference between the fair value and the carrying amount for these long-term liabilities is deemed to be insignificant relative to the total balance sheet since the interest rate duration is short.

During the full year 2021, Hexagon acquired the following companies:
The acquisitions are individually assessed as immaterial from a group perspective which is why only aggregated information is presented. The analysis of the acquired net assets is preliminary and the fair value might be subject to change. Contingent considerations are recognised to fair value (level 3 according to definition in IFRS 13) each reporting period and based on the latest relevant forecast for the acquired company. The valuation method is unchanged compared to the previous period. The estimated liability for contingent considerations amounted to 136.2 MEUR (131.6) as of 31 December, whereof the fair value adjustment in 2021 amounted to 54.3 MEUR (69.2). In connection with the valuation of contingent considerations the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the purchase price allocation are reviewed. Any indication of impairment due to the revaluation of contingent considerations is considered and adjustments are made to off-set the impact from revaluation.
In July 2021, Hexagon acquired Infor's global EAM (enterprise asset management) business, a best-in-class, SaaS-based asset management solution – Infor EAM – which is used to track assets, digitalise maintenance operations and enable customers in nearly any industry to reach optimum operational efficiency.
EAM solutions provide the foundation of digital innovation in asset-intensive industries, where digital realities, or digital operational twins, are increasingly leveraged to provide a single source of truth and complete line-of-sight to ever-changing situations. This includes the condition and performance of fixed assets – from capital and process equipment (machines, trucks, valves, turbines, and pumps) to critical infrastructure (road, railway, pipeline and communications networks) to entire buildings and facilities. By combining enterprise asset management system with Hexagon's portfolio puts Hexagon in a unique position to drive further digital transformation across the customer base. By integrating Infor EAM's built-in, industry-specific asset management capabilities with Hexagon's digital reality solutions and platforms, Hexagon can improve capital asset performance in ways beyond what EAM can achieve standalone.
From the date of consolidation (1 October), Infor's EAM business has contributed 38.1 MEUR of net sales in 2021. If the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the year, the contribution to net sales would have been 150.9 MEUR. The contribution to the group operating margin has been accretive.
