CEO comments

Recovery in orders and solid results

The customer demand improved compared to the second quarter as the effects from Covid-19 restrictions were more moderate. Our continued focus on health and business continuity, both for us and our customers, paid off. We achieved organic order growth and I am pleased to see the strong development in our service business and that our customers took decisions to invest. The lower customer activity in some markets following Covid-19 restrictions did however impact the aftermarket business. Internally, we have adapted well and adjusted our cost base. All in all, this translated into a solid result and cash flow.

Organic order growth

Orders received amounted to MSEK 9 373, which corresponds to 23% organic growth sequentially and 10% year-on-year. The order intake was stronger at the end of the quarter, both for equipment and aftermarket.

We expect that the demand, both for equipment and aftermarket, will remain stable in the near term. That said, there are uncertainties regarding the Covid-19 development and related restrictions, which can have an adverse effect on the demand.

Demand for innovative solutions

There is a strong and growing interest from customers in our automation, digitalization and electrification solutions and that is why we continue to invest and bring new solutions to the market. Our automation solutions in operations deliver increased productivity and improved safety to our customers and we won several new automation orders in the quarter. We are happy to report that we have successfully deployed unique solutions for mixed fleet automation - both for underground and surface applications. It is clear that our innovation agenda goes hand in hand with our customers' sustainability agenda.

Service proving its resilience

Currency headwinds and Covid-19 restrictions impacted revenues negatively in the quarter. In total, the revenues declined 14% to MSEK 8 724. Organically, revenues decreased by 3% supported by the resilient service business, which had an increase in revenues. It also reflects our successful and continuous work to increase productivity for customers.

Operational efficiency

The adjusted operating margin was 21.7% (21.3). Our efficiency actions were executed according to plan and supported the profit. Worth noting is that the efficiency actions that we execute around the world make us more agile and resilient while allowing us to continue to prioritize innovation and further develop our technology leadership.

Clear priorities for the future

So far, 2020 has been a year heavily impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, with many related challenges. We have managed the situation well with the support from dedicated colleagues, valued customers and loyal business partners. Together we have made Epiroc stronger for the future. And speaking of the future, with or without the pandemic, we remain focused on our priorities: innovation, aftermarket, operational excellence and sustainability.

Covid-19

Aftermarket

Epiroc continues to focus on safeguarding the availability and the supply of spare parts, rock drilling tools and other essential products in order to support customers' operations. The distribution centers and manufacturing facilities are operational and the capacity is being adapted to the demand. The availability of components and transports is currently stable.

Epiroc's customers, both in mining and infrastructure, are impacted by restrictions from governments and other authorities, which is affecting demand. The number of customers that have temporarily stopped operations or are working with reduced capacity has remained stable since the beginning of the third quarter.

Equipment

The manufacturing facilities for equipment are operational and the capacity is being adapted to the demand. Deliveries and commissioning of equipment are, by and large, being carried out as planned, even if they are sometimes impacted by the restrictions related to Covid-19.

Equipment & Service

The Equipment & Service segment provides rock drilling equipment, equipment for mechanical rock excavation, rock reinforcement, loading and haulage, ventilation systems, drilling equipment for exploration, water, oil and gas, as well as related spare parts and service for the mining and infrastructure industries.

LTIFR and sick leave

Lost time injury frequency rate and sick leave

The number of work-related lost time injuries per million working hours (LTIFR) the last 12 months decreased compared to period ending September 30, 2019. A continued focus on safety and several preventive measures contributed to the reduction.

Sick leave continued to stay on a low level, despite Covid-19. A number of measures have been implemented and maintained to minimize the risk for employees and others getting infected.

Energy and CO2 emissions

CO2 emissions from transport the last 12 months improved compared to the period ending in September 2019, mainly due to lower volumes and a higher share of shipments by sea instead of air freight.

MWh energy from operations has decreased, supported by several initiatives to increase energy efficiency. The ratio, MWh energy from operations in percent of Cost of sales, has however increased somewhat, as Cost of Sales has decreased to larger extent and energy from operations is only partly correlated with Cost of Sales.

January – September in summary

Orders received in the first nine months 2020 were MSEK 27 250 (30 216), corresponding to an organic decline of 4%. Revenues decreased 14% to MSEK 26 316 (30 569), corresponding to 8% organic decline.

Other information

Epiroc has not received any material government grants related to Covid-19 and Epiroc has not utilized governmental support for short-time work in Sweden.

In June, Epiroc gave notice to 425 employees in Sweden (out of 3 100). The notice was given partly to strengthen the organization, but also to adapt to lower demand following the Covid-19 pandemic. The negotiations were finalized in October and resulted in a reduction of 175 positions in Örebro (Equipment & Service) and 74 positions in Fagersta (Tools & Attachments). An improved demand situation resulted in that fewer people than initially planned were affected.

Risks and uncertainty factors

The Group's and Parent Company's significant risks and uncertainty factors include market and external risks, financial risks, operational and commercial risks, and legal risks. Further information on risks and risk management can be found in Epiroc's Annual and Sustainability Report 2019. An update to these risks include pandemics, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, which could significantly impact Epiroc's operations related to e.g. production and supply of equipment and aftermarket services, as well as customers and suppliers. Even if Epiroc puts business continuity measures in place to support customers and adjust the way of working to mitigate any impact to the business, the effect of a pandemic may have material adverse effects on Epiroc's business and financial position.
