As expected, the second quarter was affected by COVID-19 in the form of extensive lockdowns across all of society and a historic downturn in the global economy. For Beijer Alma, the primary effect was a sharp drop in order bookings and sales across several businesses. Earnings were also impacted by restructuring costs totaling MSEK 22. The Group has successfully addressed developments through a strong, clear focus on cash flow and through measures to reduce our costs, such as the application of furlough schemes in large portions of production. Throughout the spring, we continued to deliver to our customers thanks to robust supply chains and the extraordinary efforts made by our employees.
For Lesjöfors, the weakened global economy resulted in significantly reduced demand for chassis springs at the beginning of the quarter, since workshops in large parts of Europe were closed. As societies began reopening, sales increased toward the end of the quarter to the preceding year's level. Sales of industrial springs did not decrease as drastically, but have not recovered as quickly, either. Demand from automotive customers in particular declined. New customers have also been gained thanks to the company's agile and flexible production structure.
The decrease in sales compared with the same period in the preceding year at Habia Cable was not primarily related to COVID-19, but rather to lower volumes in offshore projects. During the spring, restructuring was carried out at plants in Sweden and China and some redundancies were made to ensure future competitiveness.
The performance of Beijer Tech was mixed, with negative sales trends for certain products and customer segments. The lockdown in Norway due to the COVID-19 pandemic affected demand more than in other Nordic countries.
The development of the global economy was characterized by a great deal of uncertainty. Beijer Alma has the readiness and the financial strength to manage periods of low demand, but is also well prepared to take advantage of the opportunities that will arise when the economy rebounds. It is especially positive that at the beginning of July, we agreed to acquire the INU Group, a successful company in building automation systems. Beijer Tech is thus continuing to pursue its strategy of acquiring companies in attractive niches and this acquisition provides a platform for a new growth area.
Finally, I would like to welcome our new CFO, Erika Ståhl, who will assume her position on Monday, August 24.

Performance measures for the Group
Order bookings declined 23 percent during the quarter to MSEK 880 (1,143). Excluding corporate acquisitions and fluctuations in exchange rates, the decrease was 29 percent. Net revenues decreased 23 percent to MSEK 963 (1,248). Excluding corporate acquisitions and fluctuations in exchange rates, the decrease was 27 percent.
Order bookings, revenues and earnings were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Sales in all three subsidiaries declined during the quarter as a result of production stoppages and cutbacks among several customers, especially within the automotive and oil industries. April and May were weak in terms of sales, although some recovery was noted during June. Companies within the Group have taken measures to limit the negative effects on earnings, primarily through applying furlough schemes in a number of operating locations. Government grants and reductions in social security contributions of MSEK 37 were received during the quarter, of which MSEK 19 was in Sweden. They are recognized as cost reductions during the quarter. On Group level, no material impairment requirements or bad debt losses due to the pandemic were noted during the quarter.
Operating profit amounted to MSEK 79 (163) and profit after net financial items to MSEK 75 (160). Earnings were charged with nonrecurring costs of MSEK 16 for redundancies at Habia Cable and of MSEK 6 for impairment of fixed assets at Beijer Tech. Earnings per share amounted to SEK 0.98 (2.04). During the quarter, the return on shareholders' equity was 9.9 percent (23.2) and on capital employed was 8.7 percent (21.2).
Cash flow from operating activities improved to MSEK 304 (148) as a result of reduced working capital. Cash flow after capital expenditures amounted to negative MSEK 60 (neg: 73). At the end of the quarter, the equity ratio was 52.3 percent (48.0) and the net debt/equity ratio was 31.9 percent (44.6). The Parent Company's credit facilities, which were expanded by MSEK 300 during the first quarter, were expanded by an additional MSEK 300 during the second quarter through a new revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility is subject to financial covenants linked to key figures, with the first point of measurement at the end of the 2021 financial year. The new credit facilities are undrawn.

| Order bookings | 475.0 | 644.8 | -26.3 | 1,148.2 | 1,298.8 | 2,384.3 | 2,534.9 |
Order bookings in the quarter decreased 26 percent to MSEK 475 (645). Net revenues decreased 25 percent to MSEK 510 (679). In organic terms, revenues decreased 28 percent. Operating profit during the quarter totaled MSEK 63 (118).
Both business areas have been affected negatively by the COVID-19 pandemic. The effects in Chassis Springs was stronger and appeared earlier than in Industry, but recovery was also faster at the end of the quarter.
Net revenues for Industry amounted to MSEK 392 (491). The decrease is primarily related to production cutbacks among customers in the automotive industry. Lesjöfors has applied furlough scheme hours at many of its production facilities.
Net revenues in Chassis Springs amounted to MSEK 118 (187). Customers are primarily automobile workshops and retail chains that sell spare parts for cars. Sales during the second quarter are usually seasonally strong, since springs are changed more often after a period of winter conditions. This year, however, purchases from customers decreased drastically from the end of the first quarter, since automobile workshops and vehicle inspections were shut down in large parts of Europe. Toward the end of the quarter, order bookings rose again. Lesjöfors has healthy inventory levels and can meet any possible increase in demand moving forward. During the quarter, the development of accounts receivable was carefully monitored, and no significant bad debt losses were noted.
During the first half of the year, order bookings decreased 12 percent to MSEK 1,148 (1,299). Net revenues decreased 10 percent to MSEK 1,236 (1,369). Net revenues in Industry decreased to MSEK 931 (995) and to MSEK 305 (373) in Chassis Springs. Operating profit totaled MSEK 186 (243).
Habia Cable is one of Europe's largest manufacturers of custom-designed cables for customers in the telecom, nuclear power, defense, offshore and other industries. The sales to nuclear power, defense and offshore are usually strongly project-related. The company has manufacturing operations in Sweden, Germany, China and Poland, and conducts sales worldwide.

Order bookings in the quarter decreased 14 percent to MSEK 186 (215). Net revenues decreased 22 percent to MSEK 221 (283). Currency effects had a positive impact of 2 percent on order bookings and revenues. Operating profit was charged with nonrecurring costs of MSEK 16 and totaled MSEK 13 (32).
COVID-19 had a limited effect on sales to most customer segments. The decrease in revenues compared with the second quarter of the preceding year is due to lower volumes in offshore projects. During the quarter, a decision was made to restructure operations, which entailed the termination of nearly 70 positions in Sweden and China related to overcapacity for manufacturing certain types of cable. The estimated cost is MSEK 16, all of which was charged to second-quarter earnings.
During the first half of the year, order bookings decreased 6 percent to MSEK 425 (452). Net revenues decreased 11 percent to MSEK 449 (502). Operating profit totaled MSEK 29 (47).

* The definition of Order bookings in Beijer Tech has been adjusted somewhat compared with the preceding year to better reflect the part of the operations related to services. Comparative data are presented according to the new definition.
Order bookings in the quarter decreased 32 percent to MSEK 219 (321). Net revenues decreased 19 percent to MSEK 232 (287). In organic terms, revenues declined 26 percent. Operating profit during the quarter totaled MSEK 10 (23), charged with nonrecurring costs of MSEK 6.
The COVID-19 pandemic had negative effects in the form of reduced demand from customers in certain industries and difficulties conducting sales through normal customer visits. Furlough schemes were introduced by several companies during the quarter. The delivery problems from suppliers in southern Europe observed during the first quarter have been resolved.
Net revenues for the Industrial Products business area declined to MSEK 127 (155). The decrease in revenues pertains primarily to operations in Sweden, Denmark and Norway with customers in industries such as automotive and oil. Operations in Finland, however, continue to develop well. After an impairment test, some technical equipment in one of the Swedish companies was written down by MSEK 6, which had a negative impact on the quarter's earnings.
Net revenues for the Fluid Technology business area declined to MSEK 105 (132). Acquisitions completed did not compensate for reduced sales income from, among other items, fire hoses and products for the automotive industry.
During the first half of the year, order bookings decreased 12 percent to MSEK 491 (556). Net revenues declined 9 percent to MSEK 494 (543). Operating profit totaled MSEK 23 (47).
The Parent Company, Beijer Alma AB, a holding company that does not generate its own external net revenues, reported an operating loss of MSEK 6.3 (loss: 9.4) during the quarter. A shareholders' contribution of MSEK 78.6 was made to a subsidiary during the quarter and was added to the value of the shares.
During the first quarter, Lesjöfors acquired all of the shares in the UK-based company Metrol Springs Ltd and, during the same period, one of the companies in Beijer Tech acquired all of the shares in PA Ventiler AB, which is based in Lindome, outside Gothenburg, in Sweden. The purchase price allocations prepared in connection with the acquisitions are preliminary but were not adjusted during the second quarter. The acquisitions impacted Beijer Alma's consolidated balance sheet as follows:
| Preliminary purchase price allocations | Q2 | Jan-Jun |
|---|---|---|
| MSEK | ||
| Purchase consideration | 145.9 | |
| Net assets measured at fair value | 76.1 | |
| Goodwill | 69.8 | |
| Cash portion of purchase consideration | 127.5 | |
| Purchase consideration to be paid within two years | 18.4 |
Purchase consideration to be paid within two years upon maximum outcome of contingent considerations would amount to MSEK 33.8.
| MSEK | |
|---|---|
| Buildings and land | 34.1 |
| Machinery and equipment | 21.1 |
| Other intangible assets | 3.0 |
| Inventories | 18.4 |
| Receivables | 18.7 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 11.5 |
| Interest-bearing liabilities | -14.7 |
| Non-interest-bearing liabilities | -16.0 |
| Total | 76.1 |
Goodwill consists of technical expertise, inseparable customer relationships and synergy effects. During the first half of the year, the acquired companies contributed MSEK 49 in net revenues. Transaction costs for the acquisitions were charged to the first quarter's earnings in an amount of MSEK 1.
On July 3, Beijer Alma's subsidiary Beijer Tech entered into an agreement to acquire 75 percent of the shares in INUinvest AB, including operations at INUstyr together with its sister companies. INUstyr is active in building automation systems and offers energy efficient solutions for public and private customers in Sweden. The company focuses on complete solutions for indoor environments through system integration and coordination, particularly in commercial and specialized buildings. The corporate group's sales amount to approximately MSEK 110 with favorable profitability.
The transaction is expected to be finalized during the third quarter. The purchase price allocation has not yet been prepared.
The Group's material risks and uncertainties include business and financial risks. Business risks may include major customer exposures to individual industries or companies. Financial risks primarily pertain to foreign currency risks that arise because more than 94 and 84 percent of sales for Habia Cable and Lesjöfors, respectively, are conducted outside Sweden, while approximately 65 percent of production takes place outside Sweden. Beijer Tech does not have a corresponding foreign currency risk.
Management of the Group's financial risks is described in Note 29 of the 2019 Annual Report.
A newly added business risk during 2020 is the spread of COVID-19. During the second quarter, this pandemic had a material negative impact on the Group's operations, primarily in the form of reduced demand from the Group's customers within several industries. It is difficult to assess the effect during the remainder of the year and thereafter. There are signs that a recovery has started, but a negative turn cannot be ruled out. COVID-19 could have direct and indirect negative effects on Beijer Alma's companies, for example, in the form of continued low or further decreasing demand for the Group's products in both the short and long term, production difficulties resulting from increased sickness absence, difficulties in managing the Group effectively in the event of sickness among senior executives and other key employees, problems attributable to purchasing from the Group's suppliers, credit losses on accounts receivable, official interventions, etc. Group management and the Board of Directors are monitoring developments with a high level of readiness to take action to relieve negative effects on the Group's earnings and cash flow. During the first quarter, Beijer Alma secured new credit facilities of MSEK 300 and another MSEK 300 during the second quarter. The Board of Directors assesses that Beijer Alma is wellequipped financially.
There were no transactions with related parties during the period.
The majority of the Group's financial assets and liabilities (accounts receivable, other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, liabilities to credit institutions, accounts payable and other liabilities) are measured at amortized cost in the report, which is also good estimate of fair value. Assets that are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income include currency forwards with a carrying amount of MSEK 6 (neg: 5), using a validation method based on observable market data. Liabilities that are measured at fair value through earnings include a purchase price consideration for shares in subsidiaries with a carrying amount of MSEK 44 (24), using a valuation method based on non-observable market data.

This interim report was prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union (EU). The presentation of the interim report complies with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
No new accounting standards with a material impact on Beijer Alma's financial statements are being applied from 2020. Accordingly, the same accounting policies are applied in this interim report as in the most recent annual report.
Disclosures pursuant to IAS 34.16A, in addition to those in the financial statements, are also presented in other sections of the interim report.
Beijer Alma applies the European Securities and Markets Authority's (ESMA) Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures. In short, an alternative performance measure is a financial measure of historical or future financial performance, financial performance or cash flows that is not defined or specified in IFRS.
The Parent Company, Beijer Alma AB, applies the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. These accounting policies correspond with the preceding year and with the consolidated accounting policies where applicable.
The interim report comprises pages 1–16, and pages 1–8 are thus an integrated part of this financial report.
The Board of Directors and the President affirm that the interim report provides a fair overview of the operations, financial position and earnings of the Parent Company and the Group and describes the material risks and uncertainties to which the Parent Company and the companies included in the Group are deemed to be exposed.

To the Board of Directors of Beijer Alma AB corp. id. 556229-7480
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Beijer Alma AB (publ) as of 30 June 2020 and the six-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the 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 International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Report 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 other generally accepted auditing practices 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 and 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, 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.
