During the second quarter we saw increased activity levels in many markets where the Group is active. The Group's recovery from the impacts of the pandemic accelerated, organic order intake was strong at +35,3%. Growth was very strong for order intake, net sales, operating profits and operating margin.
Regional growth varies depending on the most recent pandemic recovery conditions and lifting of restrictions, with the overall effect being positive.
Order intake for the quarter at 2,123 (1,655) MSEK results in organic growth of +35,3% which compares to -24,1% in Q2 2020. Organic order intake for the quarter was ahead of the pre-pandemic comparable quarter in 2019.
The order backlog has increased 493 MSEK since the start of the year and at the end of the second quarter was 1,765 (1,470) MSEK, +20% year on year.
Net sales for the quarter at 1,845 (1,726) MSEK results in organic growth of +12.2%. Currency headwinds at 82 MSEK remain significant, although less so than the first quarter.
The operating profit of 208.2 (153.6) MSEK delivers an operating margin of 11.3 (8.9)%. In the period there was 3.2 (37.6) MSEK of government subsidy income. Selling and administration expenses were 89 MSEK lower than the second quarter 2019.
Operating cash flow was positive at 200.3 (230.2) MSEK, working capital increased 37.0 (reduction 61.3) MSEK and tax paid plus financial items were 22.6 MSEK higher. Due to reduced interest costs, financial items were 20.8 (25.4) MSEK.
Availability of components and materials combined with logistics complications continue to disrupt the global supply chain. The effects have increased during the second and third quarters. The Group's operations and customer service functions continue to take all appropriate measures to ensure a good service level to our customers. Some level of improvement is anticipated in the fourth quarter.

"Quicker recovery and improved positive results gives confidence for the future"

The Group has responded well to the increase in market activity levels and delivered strongly improved results for the first half year. The trading performance is ahead of last year.
The first quarter result delivered a solid start to the year and the result for the second quarter enhanced the position. The Group enters the second half year with a healthy order backlog and confidence for the future.

Collection is home to our brands with a global market footprint. All have an international product portfolio and are well-renowned in the lighting designer and architect communities globally. They offer a wide product range with a focus on indoor and outdoor architectural applications.
Brands included are; ateljé Lyktan, iGuzzini, LED Linear and WE-EF with product development and manufacturing facilities in Sweden, Italy, Canada, China, Germany and Thailand. The business area also includes all sales companies for iGuzzini, LED Linear and WE-EF as well as the newly acquired outdoor lighting connectivity business Seneco based in Denmark.

Business area order intake for the second quarter of 893 (707) MSEK shows an organic growth of +35.2%.
Net sales for the second quarter were 822 (811) MSEK, an organic increase of 7.4%.
Operating profits for the second quarter decreased from 91.3 MSEK last year to 80.6 MSEK in the current year. The reason for the decline is the special Covid situation during Q2 2020 as the iGuzzini business delivered an exceptional result following re-opening of operations after a Covid-19 imposed closure.
For the year to date the overall profitability position is much improved compared to last year.

To strengthen our connectivity offering for outdoor environments, the Fagerhult Group acquired the remaining 80% shares in Seneco for a cash consideration of 13.0 MSEK. Seneco is a Danish based outdoor lighting connectivity company founded in 2010. In 2017 we acquired an initial 20% of the shares. For more information refer to the press release on 8 April 2021.
The Group's equity/assets ratio at the end of the reporting period was 47.9 (42.6)%. Cash and bank balances at the end of the period were 1,618 (1,177) MSEK and consolidated equity was 6,032 (5,499) MSEK.
The 59 MSEK reduction in operating cash flow for the year to date results from a 154 (reduction 35) MSEK increase in working capital and additional taxes paid of 65 MSEK.
The net debt at the end of the period is 2,844 (3,657) MSEK. Included within the net debt is 747 (892) MSEK relating to IFRS16 accounting. During the second quarter the final earn-out payment of 110 MSEK was paid for the 2018 Veko acquisition and the 88 MSEK dividend was also paid.
Pledged assets and contingent liabilities amounted to SEK 17.7 million (18.3) and SEK 6.5 million (4.1) respectively.
The Group's net investments in non-current assets was 58 (81) MSEK. The figure does not include investments in subsidiaries, which were 110 (105) MSEK.
The average number of employees during the period was 4,165 (4,579).
AB Fagerhult's operations comprise Group Management, financing and business development activities. The profit after financial items was 103.1 (201.2) MSEK. The number of employees during the period was 15 (8).
The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual accounts Act. The information for the interim period on pages 1-18 is an integral part of this financial report. The Parent Company's interim report has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2.
Applied accounting principles are unchanged in comparison with those described in Fagerhult's annual report for the financial year 2020.
Income from government support as a result of Covid-19 is included in Other operating income in the income statement.
The Group's significant risks and uncertainties consist primarily of business risks, and financial risks associated with currencies and interest rates. Through the company's international operations, the Fagerhult Group is subject to financial exposure arising from currency fluctuations as well as the regionalised uncertainty of political situations.
The most prominent risks, however, are currency risks arising from export sales and imports of raw materials and components. This exposure is reduced by hedging the flow of sensitive currencies, based on individual assessment. Currency risk also arises in the translation of foreign net assets and earnings.
For more information about the company's risks, refer to the 2020 Annual Report and the section on risks on the Group's website. In addition to the risks described in the company's Annual Report and the risks linked to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, no other significant risks are considered to have arisen.
The Group continues to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic. We develop an increasingly stable operation and from this platform we achieve organic growth. Of course, the pandemic persists, and uncertainties continue but at a reduced level. The progress during 2021 is clearly demonstrated and we are confident that the positive trends will continue, however, the recovery to pre-Covid levels on an annual basis, in our opinion, will take a little longer.
Market activity levels are returning, we see organic growth and we continue with a stable cost base and the combination of these will positively impact the year.
The challenges in the global supply chain have increased and are set to endure for several months yet. However, the Group's supply chain relationships are strong, the collaboration and communication are frequent and resources are appropriately applied.
The Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer warrant that the interim report gives a true and fair picture of the company's and Group's operations, financial position and results, and describes all significant risks and uncertainties faced by the Group
