The fourth quarter delivered strong organic growth of 17.1 percent and an adjusted profit that more than doubled to SEK 209 m, or an operating margin of 9.4 percent. All geographic regions are back to reporting organic growth. A stronger gross margin due to strong organic growth combined with lower selling and administration expenses are the main factors underlying the improvement in profits.
As in the preceding quarter, organic growth was once again positive, at 17.1 percent. In the corresponding quarter last year, the first effects of the pandemic emerged and a near decade-long sequence of quarters of organic growth ended. All regions show organic growth for the quarter. The strongest growth for the quarter can be seen in India, Turkey, Canada, Norway and Sweden. At the same time, the Swedish krona strengthened against several currencies, with negative impact on sales for the period. During the quarter, foreign exchange effects reduced sales by 8.9 percent.
During the year, we launched our range of SYS Aqua blue heat pumps with the lowest GWP (Global Warming Potential) on the market. We launched a new product range for our compact units, which are well suited to new construction, renovation and school ventilation. Frico launched a new series of lower energy consumption air curtains with a new control system. All digital launches have been well received.
Thanks to the measures we have taken during the pandemic, our balance sheet remains strong and liquidity healthy. We are maintaining long-term strategic investments to meet the rising demand. Construction of the Russian production facility is complete, our central warehouse for the Russian market has been moved in. Production will start in the autumn. In the Czech Republic, construction of a new production facility at our factory making high-efficiency heat exchangers continues. In Tilsonburg, Canada, we have acquired a new production property, directly adjacent to our existing facility. This will enable us to increase
production of classroom equipment and modular air handling units for the North American market. In Slovenia, we have signed an agreement to acquire an adjacent production property to relocate production of small Menerga units for swimming pools. In Skinnskatteberg, work is progressing on development of the "Factory of the Future" concept, which focuses on logistics and automation.
Energy saving and energy efficiency are, and have always been, a focus of product development at Systemair. In Europe, the energy conservation trend is being driven by EU directives that are imposing stricter requirements for both products and buildings. It is here that Systemair products are making a major difference from the viewpoint of sustainability. EU initiatives such as the "European Green Deal" and the announced investment programmes will drive up demand for energy efficient ventilation products, particularly in the renovation market. Good ventilation reduces the risk of spreading infection.
Systemair enjoys a good spread of risk across countries, customers and product sectors. With our investments and new products, we stand well prepared for continued profitable growth as the effects of the pandemic fade.

In November 2020, Systemair acquired 60 percent of the shares in Divid AB, a company based in Jönköping.

market.
In February 2021, Systemair acquired a former distributor, TOO Almaty Ventilation Company in Kazakhstan. The company has been renamed TOO Systemair.

Operational risks include the international nature of the operations, tough competition and the sensitivity of the construction industry to the business cycle. The financial risks that Systemair has identified in its business consist of foreign exchange risk, borrowing and interest rate risk, as well as credit risk and liquidity risk. The material risks and uncertainties affecting Systemair are described in more detail in the Company's 2019/20 Annual Report. Like other global companies, Systemair is affected by pandemics, and in 2020/21 the
Group has been affected by Covid-19. The Company is taking the necessary steps to reduce the impact of the virus and is following WHO's recommendations.

Systemair is a leading ventilation company with operations in 54 countries in Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East, Asia, Australia and Africa. The Company had sales of SEK 8.5 billion in the 2020/21 financial year and employs approximately 6,400 people. Systemair has reported an operating profit every year since 1974, when the company was founded. Over the past 10 years, the Company's growth rate has averaged about 10 percent. Systemair helps to improve the indoor climate with the help of energyefficient and sustainable products that reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
Systemair has well-established operations in growth markets. The Group's products are marketed under the Systemair, Frico, Fantech and Menerga brands. Systemair shares have been quoted on the Mid Cap List of the Nasdaq OMX Nordic Exchange in Stockholm since
October 2007. The Group comprises about 90 companies.
The Company established operations in 1974 with a product concept, the circular duct fan, a design that considerably simplified the process of installation. We adopted the motto "the direct route", which has been developed from a product concept into a business philosophy. Our product range has expanded strongly to extend over a broad range of fans, air handling units, products for air distribution, air conditioning, air curtains and heating products.
Operating from the core values of simplicity and reliability, our business concept is to develop, manufacture and market high-quality ventilation products. On the basis of our business concept and with our customers in focus, our aim is to be seen as a company to rely on, with the emphasis on delivery reliability, availability and quality.
Availability is an important parameter in terms of our competitiveness, and we ensure effective control of our flow of goods, with our own production units, centralised warehouse facilities and an efficient common ERP system. With modern production plants and our own sales companies around the world, we reach out directly to our customers.
The business model supports stability and development, and today we are a leading producer and supplier of ventilation products with our own production and own sales companies.
The following strategies create major strengths and competitive advantages that help us to achieve our goals.
◼ A highly diversified customer base reduces our vulnerability to fluctuations in the economy.
◼ Early presence in growth markets.

Systemair applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This interim report was prepared for the Group in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 1 and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2.
New or amended standards that entered into force in 2020
IASB has amended IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statement and IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors such as to adapt the definition of what is material across the standards and to clarify certain aspects of the definition. The amendments are intended to clarify that materiality will be determined by the nature or scope of the information, or both. An entity will need to assess whether the information, either in itself or in conjunction with other information, is material. The change has been applied as of 1 May 2020 at Systemair. The changes are not judged to have any material impact on Systemair's financial statements.
IASB has amended the definition of a business in IFRS 3 Business Combinations to help entities determine whether an acquired set of activities and assets represents a business or not. The change has been applied at Systemair as of 1 May 2020. The changes are not judged to have any material impact on Systemair's financial statements.
The Group's revenue is generated in the main from the manufacture and sale of ventilation products, as well as from the servicing of ventilation products. Total revenue for the quarter amounted to SEK 2,208.5 million (2,031.0), of which servicing of ventilation products accounted for SEK 90.4 million (92.4).

The total cash flow impact from acquisitions is SEK -21.3 million. Transactions costs relating to the acquisitions total SEK 0.2 million.
Customer relationships have been stated at the net present value of future cash flows. The useful life of these assets has been estimated at 5 years.
The goodwill upon acquisition is attributable to the strong market position of the companies acquired, synergy effects expected to arise after the acquisition and the company's estimated future earning capacity.
Net sales for the acquired companies between acquisition and the end of the financial year totalled SEK 20.4 million. The operating profit for the period concerned was SEK 5.2 million. If the companies acquired had been consolidated as of 1 May 2020, net sales for the financial year May 2020 through April 2021 would have totalled approximately SEK 8,541.5 million. Operating profit for that period would have totalled approximately SEK 680.2 million.
Systemair's financial instruments comprise derivatives, trade accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts payable, accrued supplier costs, interest-bearing liabilities, acquisition options and additional purchase considerations. Liabilities to credit institutions carry variable interest rates or, in certain cases, fixed rates for a short period. Derivatives are measured at fair value via the income statement on the basis of input data corresponding to level 2 as defined in IFRS 13.
Share purchase options and additional purchase considerations are measured on level 3 as defined in IFRS 13. The calculation for the option to acquire the remaining 25 percent of the shares in Traydus, Brazil, is based on the anticipated profit after tax for the 2019/20 and 2020/21 financial years. Any increase in anticipated profit after tax would result in an increase in the liability relating to the option. No upper limit for the anticipated liability is established in the agreement. Any change in estimated liability will be charged to the consolidated income statement. No change in the option took place during the financial year, and it is valued at SEK 0. The calculation for the option to acquire the remaining 10 percent of the shares in Systemair HSK, Turkey, is based on the anticipated profit before depreciation/amortisation and tax (EBITDA) for the financial years until 2022/23, plus the increase in value of the land on which the Turkish production facility is situated. Any increase in anticipated profit after tax and any increase in value of the land would result in an increase in the liability relating to the option. No upper limit for the anticipated liability is established in the agreement. Any change in estimated liability is transferred via the Group's equity. During the financial year, the liability was revalued by the amount of SEK 2.3 million, now valued at SEK 35.7 million. The calculation for the option to acquire the remaining 40 percent of the shares in Frico A/S, Denmark, is based on the anticipated operating profit (EBIT) for the 2023/24 and 2024/25 financial years. Any increase in anticipated profit after tax would result in an increase in the liability relating to the option. No upper limit for the anticipated liability is established in the agreement. Any change in estimated liability is transferred via the Group's equity. No change with regard to the option took place during the financial year, and it is
valued at SEK 2.0 million. The liability for the purchase options is recognised under Non-current liabilities, non-interestbearing on the balance sheet.
Other financial assets and liabilities are short-term. For that reason, the fair values of all financial instruments are considered to equate approximately to the carrying amounts. Systemair has not recognised any financial assets and liabilities net.
The Group's operations are classified geographically. Systemair aggregates into the geographical segments of Europe, Americas, Middle East, Asia, Australia and Africa. The market segment Europe accounts for the major share of Systemair's business. The segment Europe consists of a large number of markets. The legal entities within Europe work with each other in manufacturing and sales. The Company also judges that in every material respect similar economic conditions exist in the region, and so the legal entities within the region have been aggregated. Systemair further considers that accounting for the merged segments of Europe, Americas, Middle East, Asia, Australia and Africa presents a clearer picture. The Parent Company is accounted for via a separate segment, Group-wide. The subsidiaries are aggregated on the basis of their legal domicile and consolidation takes place according to the same principles as for the Group as a whole.

In the report, Systemair presents performance measures that supplement the financial ratios defined in IFRS; these are known as alternative performance measures (APMs). The Company is of the view that these APMs provide valuable information to investors and the Company's management, in that they enable evaluation of the Company's performance, trends, capacity to pay down debt and invest in new business opportunities, and that they reflect the Group's acquisition-intensive business model.
Because not all companies calculate financial performance measures in the same way, these are not always comparable. As a result, they should not be regarded as substitutes for performance measures as defined in IFRS. A number of definitions appear below, the majority of which are alternative performance measures.
For more key performance measures and information on how they are calculated, see Systemair's website at: group.systemair.com/se/investerare/-finansiella-data/
