"Once again, we delivered a record quarter. Recorded sales grew by 15 per cent, 10 per cent organic, and the operating margin (EBIT1) improved by 1 percentage point to 27.6 per cent. The overall demand situation is strong for most of Hexagon's businesses and regions, but supply of some components is strained. With unrestricted supply we would have increased sales by another 2 per cent with even stronger incremental margins. No orders were lost, resulting in a record order backlog. We believe that we will see a similar situation in the fourth quarter, with a furtherincrease in backlog, but envision a gradual improvementin components supply in the first half of 2022.
China recorded 10 per cent organic growth despite last year's strong comparison. Geosystems recorded 16 per cent organic growth, primarily driven by continued high activities in the infrastructure, construction and mining markets. Manufacturing Intelligence recorded 13 per cent organic growth, supported by a broad-based recovery across most industries and regions. As expected, the PPM division started to recover, recording 2 per cent organic growth, led by strong demand in the asset information management and AEC portfolios. Autonomy & Positioning recorded 8 per cent organic growth fuelled by continued strength in precision agriculture. Safety & Infrastructure recorded -6 per cent organic decline, hampered by weaker US defence orders.
We hosted a Capital Markets Day in September, where we presented how our digitalreality solutions and autonomous technologies will continue to fuel growth and sustainable outcomes in the years ahead. We also launched a new five-year financial plan consisting of an annual average sales growth of 8-12 per cent whilst reaching an operating margin (EBIT1) of over 30 per cent by 2026."

Net sales increased by 15 per cent to 1,077.2 MEUR (939.9). Using fixed exchange rates and a comparable group structure (organic growth), net sales increased by 10 per cent. Regionally, organic growth was 11 per cent in Asia, 10 per cent in Americas and 10 per cent in EMEA. In Asia, China recorded 10 per cent organic growth, mainly driven by continued strong demand in manufacturing. Japan, India, Australia and New Zealand recorded double-digit growth, however, South Korea declined due to weakness in the power and energy segment. In the Americas, North America recorded 8 per cent organic growth, fuelled by strong demand in surveying, infrastructure and construction, manufacturing and power and energy, but hampered by weakness in defence. South America recorded high double-digit growth driven by a solid development in mining and agriculture solutions. In EMEA, Western Europe recorded 11 per cent organic growth, mainly driven by strong growth in surveying, infrastructure and construction and a continued recovery in manufacturing. Russia, the Middle East and Eastern Europe continued to record strong organic growth.
Adjusted operating earnings (EBIT1) increased by 19 per cent to 296.8 MEUR (250.1), which corresponds to an adjusted operating margin of 27.6 per cent (26.6).

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.

We have reviewed the condensed interim report for Hexagon AB as at September 30, 2021 and for the nine months period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the Swedish Standard on Review Engagements, ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review 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, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do 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 causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Group, and in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Parent Company.

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 first nine months of the year 2021, Hexagon acquired the following companies:
Mecadat, a distributor of CAD and CAM software
CADLM, a provider of computer-aided engineering (CAE) software
ZGTech, a provider of metrology-grade 3D scanners
Immersal Oy, a provider of spatial mapping and visual positioning solutions
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 153.0 MEUR (153.0) as of 30 September, whereof the fair value adjustment in 2021 amounted to 25.2 MEUR (39.2). 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.
