I am pleased with the development in both existing and acquired companies in the quarter and the successful financial outcome. Sales in the quarter increased by 38 percent to SEK 761.2 (551.5) million. EBITA amounted to SEK 68.6 (40.0) million, which is an improvement of 71.5 percent. EBITA margin amounted to SEK 9.0 (7.3) percent. Earnings per share were SEK 0.58 (0.41) million, which is an improvement of 41.4 percent. Cash flow amounted to SEK –13.3 (–12.9) million.
The Group reported an increase in sales and earnings compared to the same period last year, which is of course very satisfying. This is our strongest quarterly report to date. For the past three years, our compound annual growth rate (CAGR) has been 39 percent, with EBITA of 85 percent. This is a result of our strategy to consolidate the market and to increase EBITA at a rapid pace. For 12-months rolling, the EBITA margin is now 6.3 percent, which is 1.6 percentage points higher than the previous year.
We have thus far welcomed six new companies to the group. The new acquisitions, with combined sales of approximately SEK 500 million on an annual basis, contribute to our healthy margin. With our entry into Finland at the end of the second quarter, we are now represented in three markets in the Nordic region: Sweden, Norway and Finland.
Our offering to entrepreneurs in the industry is attractive and we notice that there is strong interest from new companies to join the Group. Our approach is long term and we put a lot of emphasis on making sure that the fit is right between new entrepreneurs and the Group. We make sure that we get to know each other thoroughly before making any decisions about acquisition. Being able to allocate capital correctly is key to our continued success.
We have noticed that, for each month that passes, the impact of restrictions associated with Covid-19 is receding and our order flow is stable. We are continuing to grow organically with the market as planned.
We continue tirelessly to manage and develop our companies. By building a culture that is founded on strong entrepreneurship and a desire to deliver even better, we ensure that our companies are well positioned to meet all future challenges and opportunities. Right leaders and right entrepreneurs are our key to success.
During the year, we continued working to create the prerequisites for our existing profit centers to run successfully by turning them into their own, independent subsidiaries. By doing so, we move
the decision-making closer to the business and the customer. A key part of our model is based on companies having the opportunity to act on what the local market offers. This is how we create driving force, customer value and good results. It is satisfying to see how these companies are developing and how receptive both staff and customers are to the change. Thus far, we have created seven new subsidiaries and five remain.
Although we are decentralized, there are synergies and benefits from belonging to the same group, in areas such as purchasing, digitalization projects, sustainability work and sharing good ideas. Together, we are stronger.
Our performance this quarter is further evidence that our strategy is working and I am proud of my colleagues and the journey we are on together.
Johan Nordström CEO
Sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 761.2 (551.5) million, which is an increase of 38.0 percent.
EBITA for the quarter was SEK 68.6 (40.0) million. Financial items amounted to SEK –9.2 (–6.4) million. Profit for the period amounted to SEK 30.0 (19.1) million, which corresponds to basic earnings per share of SEK 0.58 (0.41). Tax expense for the quarter was SEK –8.6 (–4.5) million.
Sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 2,224.4 (1,478.5) million, which is an increase of 50.4 percent.
EBITA for the period was SEK 148.4 (67.8) million. Financial items amounted to SEK –23.2 (–17.3) million. Profit for the period amounted to SEK 59.9 (18.3) million, which corresponds to basic earnings per share of SEK 1.22 (0.46). Tax for the period January to September amounted to SEK –11.6 (–3.9) million.
At the end of the quarter, order backlog was SEK 5,160 (3,972) million. The volume of our order backlog has increased compared to last year, primarily due to the Group having grown by adding several new companies and having won new contracts.
Over time, there is a correlation between the size of order backlog and sales. But this is not necessarily the case over the short term. The reason is that large, long-term contracts are procured with intervals of 5-10 years. When customers renew their contracts with Green Landscaping, it has a significant impact on the order backlog.

* the figures for the comparison period have been restated in accordance with the new segmentation
As of the end of the third quarter, Green Landscaping Group consists of 33 operating subsidiaries and business units, all of which share the same passion for creating and maintaining outdoor environments. The Group is gathered under six geographic segments. Reporting is by segment on sales, operating profit (loss) and profit margin.
As of 2021, segmentation has been updated so that it better reflects how the Group is managed and monitored. With this change, operations in Norway are reported as its own segment: Region Norway. Region West has changed its name to Region Mid. Region East has changed its name to Region Stockholm, and what was previously Region Mid has become part of Region North. The new segments are thus: South, Mid, Stockholm, North, Norway and Finland. As of 30 June, Finland is its own segment.
Sales for the period July-September amounted to SEK 124.8 (127.6) million, with an operating profit of SEK 14.9 (10.2) million. The margin amounted to SEK 12.0 (8.0) percent.
The region has somewhat lower sales than last year, which is attributable to a smaller project portfolio in some companies. New sales during the year have also been affected by Covid-19. Operating profit has grown and so too has the margin, where the improvement is 4 percentage points higher than last year. Our efforts to raise profitability in several companies continue, which is now starting to be reflected in earnings.
One of the newly won contracts was a major construction project with the City of Malmö for a new outdoor environment at a school, Kungshögskolan.
Sales for the period July-September amounted to SEK 231.8 (169.1) million, with an operating profit of SEK 10.2 (10.2) million. The margin amounted to SEK 4.4 (6.0) percent.
The sales increase in the region is driven by both acquisitions and higher sales to existing customers. There was a slight negative impact on earnings for the period related to establishment in a new location.
The units were turned into new, independent companies during the quarter: Green Östergötland AB and Trädgård & Markmiljö i Väst AB. Subsequent to the end of the period, the last units were also turned into subsidiaries: Västsvensk Markservice AB and PA10 Park & Trädgård AB. During the period, new leaders were appointed at two companies to ensure the right culture and focus on profitability.
Sales for the period July-September amounted to SEK 141.5 (133.5) million, with an operating profit of SEK 5.7 (1.1) million. The margin amounted to SEK 4.0 (0.8) percent.
The region is reporting higher sales compared to last year. Operating profit has also improved, as well as the margin. The performance of units that were turned into companies during the year has been in the right direction. Staff and customers alike have responded positively to the change.
Operations of the Stockholm North profit unit are in the process of being discontinued, which is having a negative impact on the region's sales and earnings. This process is expected to be completed by the end of the year. A new regional manager took over during the quarter.
Sales for the period July-September amounted to SEK 74.6 (77.9) million. Operating profit amounted to SEK 9.1 (8.0) million, with a corresponding margin of 12.2 (10.3) percent.
Compared to last year, several of the units in the region are reporting both higher earnings and operating profit. However, add-on sales are still lower than last year, which is a consequence of many customers having expended their budgets due to the winter's heavy snowfall.
Work is ongoing to convert the remaining units in the region into independent subsidiaries and all of this is expected to be completed by the end of the year, which is an important part of the Group's strategy.
Sales for the period July-September amounted to SEK 217.4 (58.3) million, with an operating profit of SEK 26.3 (13.9) million. The margin amounted to SEK 12.1 (23.8) percent. Note that the comparative figure for last year is abnormally high due to the fact that a couple of the companies were only consolidated during parts of the period.
The companies in Region Norway are continuing to perform well in terms of both sales and earnings. Companies noted a slight increase in costs for both materials and subcontractors, which, for the most part, has been compensated by charging higher prises to customers.
Last quarter, Viher-Pirkka Oy and its subsidiaries were acquired, which was the first acquisition in Finland. As of 30 June, they are consolidated as part of the Group.
Sales for the period July-September amounted to SEK 30.2 (-) million, with an operating profit of SEK 5.3 (-) million, which is in line with expectations.
Consolidated equity amounted to SEK 794.1 (419.3) million, which corresponds to an increase of SEK 374.8 million compared to 2020-09-30. The change is primarily attributable to the profit for the year, new issues and redemption of options.
Available liquidity amounts to SEK 247.2 (129.7) million, which includes cash and cash equivalents, along with bank overdraft of SEK 32,3 (50,0) million. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is primarily due to acquisitions.
Net debt through adjusted EBITDA pro-forma RTM amounted to 2.4 (2.9) times.
Consolidated cash flow from operating activities for the quarter was SEK –13.3 (–12.9) million. Cash flow from changes in working capital amounted to SEK –80.2 (–71.6) million.
Net investments including business combinations during the period amounted to SEK –17.7 (–132.2) million.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment during the period was SEK –28.4 (–24.7) million.
Amortization of intangible assets during the period was SEK –20.9 (–10.0) million.
The average number of employees during the quarter was 1,922, compared to 1,246 employees during the same period last year.
Operating activities involve several risk factors that could impact the Group's business and financial position. The risks are primarily associated with operating activities such as delivery quality, tendering, and delivery efficiency. Weather is another external risk that could impact earnings. To counter such risks, the company strives to have a mix of agreements with fixed and variable remuneration. It also strives to share the risks with customers and subcontractors.
Through its operations, the Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks, such as credit risk, market risks (interest rate risk and other price risks) and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management is focused on unpredictability in the financial markets and efforts are aimed at minimizing the potential negative effects on the Group's financial results.
The Group's financial transactions and risks are managed by the CFO and the parent company's other senior executives, along with the board of directors. The Group's overall goal for financial risks is to minimize the negative effects on the Group's earnings due to market changes or other changes in the surrounding world.
For more information on the risks and uncertainties, please see pages 69-70 of the 2020 Annual Report.
After the end of the reporting period, the Group signed a new financing agreement for SEK 1,950 million to refinance prior loans and facilitate continued growth through acquisitions. The agreement stretches 3 years with the possibility of 2 option years.
One more acquisition was made after the end of the period, which was Skellefteå Utemiljö AB. It will belong to Region North.
The Covid-19 pandemic continues to have a somewhat negative impact on the business.
There have, for example, been fewer meetings with customers and clients, resulting in fewer orders and delays in some of our projects. Employees on sick leave is having a negative impact on the organization due to loss of production.
We have not identified any need to record impairment losses on goodwill that has been recognized for the Group based on Covid-19.
As of 30 September, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has not had any significant impact on the valuation of inventories.
As of 30 September, there were no indications of a significant impact on the provision for credit losses due to Covid-19.
There were no transactions between Green Landscaping Group and related parties during the period that significantly impacted the company's position and earnings.
The Parent Company's net sales for the period amounted to SEK 8.8 (6.4) million. Operating profit (loss) amounted to SEK –0.5 (1.0) million. The change is primarily attributable to regular invoicing of management fees, along with acquisition costs.
Financial assets increased by SEK 509.2 million, which is primarily attributable to the acquisition of subsidiaries.

This interim report for the Group has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Annual Accounts Act.

Operations are affected by seasonal variations. The service offering also varies with each season.

Also offered is a wide assortment of planning and construction services for creating outdoor environments. During winter, there is a high volume of snow and ice removal services. Project activities are also carried out during winter, weather permitting. Sales and earnings in any given quarter are affected by the season. For Green Landscaping Group operations, the first quarter of the year is low season. Sales are lower then, which has a negative impact on earnings.

As of 30 September 2021, Green Landscaping Group has acquired five companies in Sweden, Norway and Finland. The acquired company in Finland has its own subsidiary as well, Vihermuuria Oy. During the prior financial year, a total of seven subsidiaries was acquired, along with one net asset acquisition. For all of the acquired companies, 100 percent of the shares were acquired.
According to agreements on contingent consideration, the Group must make additional cash payments based on future results. Contingent consideration to be paid by the Group based on the future results of current and prior year acquisitions is a maximum of SEK 96.7 million. Additional consideration is based on the terms in the purchase agreement, the company's knowledge of operations and how the current economic climate is expected to impact them. The fair value of contingent consideration is at Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy in accordance with IFRS.
Goodwill of SEK 252.6 million that has arisen from acquisitions represents future economic benefits that are neither individually identified nor separately reported. Goodwill is allocated to segments when assessing any impairment need. Allocation is to the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination that gave rise to the goodwill. Impairment testing on goodwill involves assessing whether the unit's recoverable amount is higher than the carrying amount. The recoverable amount has been calculated on the basis of the unit's value-in-use, which is comprised of the present value of the unit's expected future cash flows, without taking into consideration any future plans to expand or restructure the business. The same significant assumptions have been made for all segments. The cash flows have been based on financial forecasts covering 5 years and on a constant rate of growth.
During 2021 and the prior financial year, Green Landscaping Group made the following company acquisitions:
| Company name | Segment | Acquisition date | Full-year sales | Number of employees |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Akershusgartneren AS | Region Norway | March 2021 | 205.1 | 80 |

The acquisitions have the following effects on the Group's assets and liabilities. None of the acquisitions made in 2021 are individually assessed as being significant, which is why the information on acquisitions is at the overall level. The acquisition analyses for companies acquired in 2021 are preliminary.

The company presents certain financial measures in its interim report that are not defined in accordance with IFRS. The company feels that these measures provide valuable, supplementary information to investors and company management. Accordingly, the measures should be regarded as a supplement, rather than a replacement for measures defined in accordance with IFRS. Because Green Landscaping Group's definitions of these measures might differ from other companies' definitions of the same concepts, an explanation of how they are calculated is provided below. For more information on the purpose of each measure, please see "Definitions and explanations" at the end of this report.

Report on Review of Interim Financial Information in summery (the interim report) prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and 9 kap. Annual accounts act (1995:1554)
To the board of Green Landscaping Group AB (publ.)
We have reviewed the interim financial information in summery (the interim report) of Green Landscaping Group AB (publ), as per 30th of September 2021 and the nine-month period then ended. It is the board and the executive director that is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual accounts act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity." A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that that give us reason to believe that the interim report, not in all material respects, has been prepared for the group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act and for the parent company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

Green Landscaping works with outdoor environments and infrastructure. Through its subsidiaries, it offers the most comprehensive service portfolio on the market, aimed at making outdoor environments more sustainable and safe.
With commitment and collaboration, we develop independent, competitive companies with a focus on customer value, quality and sustainability. We have operations in Sweden, Norway and Finland. In Sweden the business is divided into the following four regions: South, Mid, Stockholm and North.
We are professional in everything we do. At the center of it all is our skilled, experienced employees who inspire our customers, helping them realize their dreams of creating beautiful, functional outdoor environments. We also offer care and maintenance services that maximize the lifespan of these outdoor environments. For the 2020 financial year, we had approximately 1,350 employees and annual sales of just over SEK 2 billion.
Green Landscaping was established in 2009 via a merger of the following four companies: ISS Landscaping, Jungs, Mark & Trädgårdsanläggare Sjunnesson and Qbikum.
In 2010, the company took the name Green Landscaping and it also acquired Miljöbyggarna in Stockholm. Since then, we have developed into a full-scale supplier in the market for construction
and maintenance of outdoor environments.
Green Landscaping's strategy between 2009–2014 has been to increase sales and become a leading player in the market. Companies that were acquired during that period were, among others, Jacksons Trädvård and GML Sport.
In 2015, we began the process of implementing a new strategy and governance process based on Policy Deployment, a system inspired by Danaher Corporation. Since then, a number of operational efficiencies have been implemented to increase profitability and create a platform for profitable growth. Major focus areas have been increasing the quality of our services, pricing and a reduction in the cost base.
Since 2017, Green Landscaping Group has been focusing on profitable growth via both organic growth and acquisitions.
The parent company has been listed on Nasdaq Stockholm since 2018. The ticker symbol is GREEN.
As of 2020, Green Landscaping Group is also represented in Norway in conjunction with having acquired five companies there. In June 2021, Green Landscaping Group further expanded its presence in the Nordic market via the acquisition of one company in Finland.
