The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the world in the beginning of 2020. For Epiroc, our first priority is to ensure the health and well-being of our colleagues, customers and business partners, and their families as well as the local communities we are a part of. Our next priority is to ensure business continuity and to support our customers with spare parts, rock drilling tools, and other essential products and services to keep their operations running. The whole organization has adjusted the way of working to reflect this new situation.
Our business in China was impacted by the pandemic in February, but the situation has since improved. During March however, the impacts of the growing pandemic created a rapidly changing global situation, as restrictions from various governments and authorities started to disrupt the supply of components, transportation systems and manufacturing facilities. Some customers stopped or reduced the activity. As most of the impact was towards the end of the quarter, the financial impact in Q1, however, was limited. We expect that the demand both for equipment and in the aftermarket will be lower and that the effects of the pandemic will have a significant negative impact on revenues and profit in Q2.
The activity level at our customers was high in Q1 and orders received for our service business increased 12% organically compared to the previous year. Orders for equipment, rock drilling tools and attachments, however, decreased. Total orders received for the Group were MSEK 9 772, down 4% organically. Sequentially, orders received increased by 5%.
Revenues declined 8% organically to MSEK 9 134, mainly because of lower equipment revenues, and partly as Covid-19 caused some delays in deliveries. The service business was, again, strong, which contributed to the resilience in our profitability. The adjusted operating margin improved to 20.9% (20.3).
Epiroc has an agile business model where we continuously adapt to the market. Due to the expected negative development going forward, we have implemented contingency measures to reduce operating costs. Actions with short-term effects include reduction of temporary workforce and consultants, work-time reduction, and reduction of discretionary spending and travelling. Actions with long-term impact were initiated in 2019 and additional actions have been added this year. The long-term actions are expected to lower costs with more than MSEK 500 annually with full effect in the second half of 2020.
Even in this challenging time, we continue to invest in innovations, such as automation, digitalization and electrification, and to support our customers to the best of our ability. In the quarter, we entered into a partnership with Australian mining company Roy Hill to convert its fleet of haul trucks to autonomous mode. This solution will boost safety and productivity for Roy Hill.
In the quarter, we established long-term sustainability goals supporting the Paris Agreement and the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Our ambition is to halve CO2 emissions from operations, transport and, most importantly, from use of Epiroc equipment. We have also set ambitious targets to further support health and safety, improve gender diversity and strengthen our commitment to the Code of Conduct.
In the near term, we will focus on our aftermarket business, supporting our customers' operations, while health and safety remains our first priority. We will keep investing in innovations while taking the necessary actions to reduce costs and adapt our operations. Epiroc will deal with the short-term challenges, and at the same time, take advantage of the opportunities to strengthen our customer relations and build an even stronger company for the future.

The supply chain improvement program for parts and consumables continued in the quarter. The program has contributed to improved availability of parts and consumables, but the Covid-19 pandemic has had negative effects, including increased transport costs.
The Group's net cash position amounted to MSEK 1 191 (previous year: net debt of 3 641). The net debt/EBITDA ratio was -0.12 (0.39).
The Board of Directors of Epiroc AB proposes to Epiroc's Annual General Meeting that will take place on May 12, 2020, to decide on the first installment of the dividend and postpone the decision on the planned second installment.
Epiroc has a strong financial position and the Board's assessment of the dividend capacity has not changed. Therefore, the Board proposes to pay the first installment of the dividend of SEK 1.20 per share. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the increased economic uncertainty, the Board proposes that the decision on the planned second installment of the dividend will be postponed. If the situation allows, the Board of Directors plans to call for an extraordinary general meeting later this year to decide on the second dividend installment for the 2019 fiscal year.

Cash flow
Operating cash flow, MSEK

The operating cash flow improved to MSEK 1 532 (472). The working capital increased by MSEK 519 (720), mainly due to an increase in inventories.
Cash flow from acquisitions and divestments was MSEK -15 (-449).
Interim Report January – March 2020 5 (24)

Epiroc's focus is to support customers with service, spare parts and rock drilling tools. Epiroc will prioritize deliveries for aftermarket requirements above deliveries for equipment manufacturing should any shortages of components exist. Manufacturing facilities for consumables in India, South Africa, and Canada (Quebec) are closed temporarily, since the end of March.
Mining is deemed essential in many countries, which means that most mines continue to operate, but in some cases mines have temporarily stopped operations or operate at reduced capacity due to restrictions from governments and authorities. Also the construction industry is impacted by restrictions. As a consequence, Epiroc estimates that revenues from the aftermarket will be negatively impacted in Q2. The magnitude of the impact will depend on how the restrictions will develop during the quarter.
The majority of Epiroc's equipment manufacturing facilities are operational, except the facilities in India and Italy. Work-time reduction has been implemented in several entities. Deliveries and commissioning of equipment are currently restricted due to limitations in transport and travelling. Epiroc estimates this to have a material negative impact on revenues in Q2.
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.

Work-related lost time injury frequency rate, LTIFR (12 months)

The number of work related lost time injuries per million working hours (LTIFR) decreased compared to the 12-month period ending March 31, 2019. Preventive measures and a continued focus on safety awareness, training and activities contributed to the reduction.
Sick leave continued to stay on a low level. A number of measures have been implemented to minimize the risk for our employees and others to get infected by the coronavirus.
MWh energy from operations/Cost of sales has continued to decrease, supported by the changes in the rock drilling tools business and several initiatives to increase energy efficiency.
CO2 emissions from transport improved compared to the 12 months period ending in March 2019, mainly due to a higher share of shipments by sea instead of air freight.
During 2019 work was initiated to establish long-term sustainability goals supporting the Paris Agreement and UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. New goals are set with the ambition to halve CO2 emissions from operations, transport and from use of Epiroc equipment by 2030 compared to 2019. Other examples of goals include a substantial reduction of work-related injuries, to double the number of women in operational roles and have all employees sign the Code of Conduct.
