CEO's comments Good growth in Europe. Continued challenges in Asia.

Overall, the second quarter of the year was a good quarter for Nederman. Orders received increased to SEK 1,044.1m (912.1), equivalent to a currency-neutral growth of 10.3 percent. Net sales also developed positively in the quarter and totalled SEK 1,096.2m (863.9), equivalent to a currency-neutral growth of 22.2 percent. Adjusted operating profit increased to SEK 84.9m (73.1)*.

Development in the quarter is in line with our expectations. Europe posted a strong quarter. In North America, three of our four divisions posted good progress. In Asia, development was significantly weaker. One explanation for this is the concern arising from the trade conflict between the US and China, which has meant that our customers are delaying their investment decisions. Although market conditions in Asia are challenging, we are not satisfied with how our sales have developed in the region.

Our new organisation and the latest acquisitions are delivering

Our new organisation, with four global divisions, is now fully operational and we are beginning to see positive results in the form of greater focus and high energy. Our latest acquisitions are also fully integrated in the new organisational structure and are contributing significantly to Nederman's development. This applies not least to Luwa, which demonstrated considerable strength during the quarter. We also saw solid evidence of Luwa's strong brand and good customer relations in the quarter. We will build on this strong confidence from our customers by further strengthening Luwa's service offering with attractive IoT solutions.

Outlook

Many of our markets, not least the USA and China, continue to be characterised by uncertainty. The risk of trade conflicts and financial uncertainty means that decisions about major investments are being delayed and that large projects are being postponed. Despite these geopolitical challenges, our basic view is one of cautious optimism. Environmental issues will continue to be important for our customers and we have strengthened our positions in several key areas where we see that future growth will occur. In Europe and North America, we will build on Nederman's strengths as a leading environmental technology company. In regard to developments in Asia, which are not in line with our ambitions, we will carefully review our activities to see how we can reverse the trend.

CEO

* In the transition to IFRS 16, the Group has applied a retroactive method, which means that the figures for the 2018 financial year have been restated in accordance with the new standard. For information on the financial effects, see accounting policies on pages 14-15.

Nederman Extraction & Filtration Technology's product range consists of a broad range of capturing devices, fans, high-vacuum products and reels for the distribution of a variety of liquids or compressed air.

Nederman Extraction & Filtration Technology

Nederman Extraction & Filtration Technology had a positive development during the second quarter of the year, with growth in both order intake and sales. The core business with sales of products and smaller systems continued to be at stable levels in several markets. A major order in Denmark was booked in the quarter. The order backlog has strengthened during the first six months of the year and is at a significantly higher level than at the corresponding time in 2018.

Development in the quarter

Europe showed good development during the quarter. Germany had a good order intake following several orders for medium-sized system solutions and strong sales, especially in the aftermarket segment. The Nordic region saw strong growth in order intake thanks to good sales in the base business in Norway and a larger order from the wind energy industry in Denmark. The UK and Southern Europe also saw good order intake growth in the quarter. In the UK, demand was mainly concentrated on product sales in the welding segment. The background to the high sales volume in the welding segment is that the UK Health and Safety Executive has classified welding fumes as carcinogenic since the end of the first quarter 2019, which has increased the demand for Nederman's mobile filter solutions.

In North America, the US saw good growth in both order intake and sales during the quarter, while the other North American markets were weaker. In the US, the order backlog is now at significantly higher levels than the corresponding point in 2018 as a result of good demand for medium-sized system solutions. Brazil also showed good development in the quarter.

The markets in Asia experienced weak development during the quarter, with the exception of India which saw growth.

Two new products were launched in the quarter: The IoT FlexFilter solution for high vacuum applications and Data Cable Reel for applications that require secure data transfer.

Nederman Extraction & Filtration Technology

Sales are conducted both via a network of partners and through our own sales companies. The division also has significant aftermarket sales in the form of sales of spare parts and service. Customers come from a number of different industries with various types of air emissions that must be dealt with in an efficient and safe manner. The business activities are carried on under the Nederman brand.

Nederman Process Technology's products include among other things, advanced filter solutions that are integrated in the customers' production processes where they catch harmful particles and gases, as well as other process critical equipment.

Nederman Process Technology

Nederman Process Technology had a stable development in the quarter with a positive trend in order intake in Europe. There is still some uncertainty around large projects in the US market while demand in certain sectors is rising. A large order for the chemical sector was booked in the quarter. Developments in Asia remained weak in the quarter. The activity level in Europe was very high with participation in a number of important industrial fairs, including the global textile fair in Barcelona which is held every four years and the foundry fair in Germany.

Development in the quarter

Americas reported a positive trend in profitability in the quarter following good sales figures. Orders received were weakened by deferred orders for larger systems.

Nederman Process Technology's activities in the textile segment are focused on countries in Asia, including China, India and Bangladesh. Sales have been strong during the first half of the year, but order intake has been weaker due to overcapacity in China and insecurity caused by the ongoing trade conflict.

Sales to foundries and smelters are in line with developments in 2018 with good volumes in Germany and Poland. The potential is also good in North America, but demand from countries in Asia is more subdued due to uncertainty caused by the ongoing trade conflict and general dampening of the Chinese market.

Two new products for the textile industry were launched in the quarter: Loomlite for weaving mills and Texguard which reduces fire risk. Nederman Process Technology has also begun work on providing the textile industry with IoT solutions for continuous monitoring and control.

Nederman Process Technology

Sales activities are conducted by our sales force which has direct contact with the division's customers. The number of orders is few, but the individual order value is high. Nederman Process Technology works with a number of the world's leading companies and the relationships with customers are deep and long lasting. These customers are large companies in a wide range of industries, including the fibre, textile and chemical industries, metal recycling industry, foundries and smelters, and the waste industry. Nederman Process Technology carries on its business activities under four brands: MikroPul, Luwa, Pneumafil and LCI.

Nederman Duct & Filter Technology works with different types of pipe systems, valves and filter elements to ensure good air quality in a number of industries.

Nederman Duct & Filter Technology

Nederman Duct & Filter Technology had a positive development in the quarter following good growth in the Americas and EMEA regions. Demand remains weak in Asia. The development of the price of steel, especially in the US, is a factor that the division follows closely as it has a potentially large impact on pricing and margins. In the UK, the concerns surrounding Brexit are creating uncertainty and dampening demand.

Development in the quarter

Nordfab, which sells various types of pipe systems, experienced good order intake growth in the quarter. In the US, the average order size has increased, which has resulted in a slight deterioration in gross profit margin, but the gross profit remain at a good level. Nordfab has recently invested in its sales organisation and this has now resulted in increased sales in the Americas and EMEA. In Asia, development remains weak.

Menardi, which sells the division's filter solutions, had a strong development in order intake during the quarter. In the US, both sales and profitability have improved thanks to a strengthened sales organisation, more favourable product mix and continuous efforts to identify and manage the causes of low margins.

During the quarter, Nederman Duct & Filter Technology participated in the Ligna 2019 trade fair in Hanover, Germany. The fair was successful and several interesting business opportunities arose. The development of a new optimised filter cartridge was also completed in the quarter.

Nederman Duct & Filter Technology

Sales are mainly conducted via distributors, but Nederman Duct & Filter Technology also has a large share of internal sales to Nederman's other divisions. Customers are found in a wide range of industries, such as the woodworking industry, furniture industry, metalworking, cement & concrete industry, recycling industry, automotive industry, plastics manufacturing industry, chemical industry and others. Nederman Process Technology carries on its business activities under two brands: Nordfab and Menardi.

Nederman Monitoring & Control Technology's digital offering is based on a platform, consisting of hardware installed in Nederman's products and solutions, and software that communicates with the cloud and provides customers with information and insight into critical parameters and processes.

Nederman Monitoring & Control Technology

Nederman Monitoring & Control Technology saw stable growth in order intake and sales during the quarter. The Nederman Insight digital platform was launched in the quarter with upgraded functionality. Nederman Insight has also been optimised for use in further industries and the functionality now covers a larger part of the Nederman Group's customer segments.

Development in the quarter

During the quarter, updates for the Nederman Insight platform were launched with new opportunities for online reporting and reports, documenting key data such as filter system performance, productivity and environmental data. The update complements the platform's existing monitoring and alarm functionality.

Nederman Insight has also been optimised for use with Nederman's solutions for high vacuum filtration where the functionality of the filters is critical for production and quality. The new applications, together with existing functions, are used in industries such as the wood industry, foundries, smelters and others. With this expansion to encompass more industries, Nederman Monitoring & Control Technology now has solutions for a large part of the Group's customer and industrial segments.

During the quarter, the Nederman Insight platform was presented at several industrial fairs around the world, and this created

several interesting business opportunities. It is very clear that there is great interest from the Group's customers to implement digital solutions that will enable them to ensure stable production, reduce the amount of unplanned maintenance, improve energy efficiency and at the same time reinforce the safety of their staff.

Nederman Monitoring & Control Technology

Nederman Monitoring & Control Technology conducts sales through the division's own companies and their network of distributors. Sales are also conducted through other divisions within Nederman. Monitoring & Control Technology work with a broad spectrum of industries that need to be able to continuously monitor and steer their production and processes. Nederman Monitoring & Control Technology carries on its business activities under three brands: Nederman Insight, NEO Monitors and Auburn FilterSense.

This is Nederman

A Swedish environmental technology company

Nederman's expertise and turnkey solutions within industrial air filtration protect people, machinery and the environment from the harmful effects of industrial processes. In this way Nederman helps to create safe work spaces, efficient production and significant environmental benefits. This interplay between health, environment and efficiency comes together to form the concept of eco-efficiency.

Eco-efficiency means that we contribute to both economic efficiency and long-term sustainable production. In terms of economy, it is about high production efficiency and product quality, machinery that has a long life and minimised environmental costs. From an environmental perspective it is about benefits from reduced emissions, more efficient use of materials and recycling, and lower energy consumption.

Nederman's customers are found in industries such as metal, wood and composite processing, food processing, pharmaceutical production, waste management, agriculture, textile industry, chemical industry, process industry, power generation and the automotive aftermarket.

Strong global position

Nederman has a strong global presence in regard to both sales and manufacturing. Sales are conducted through its own sales companies and distributors in over 50 countries. The main focus of sales is in Europe and North America, but Nederman is also active in a number of markets in Asia and South America. Manufacturing is carried out on five continents. Turnover in 2018 amounted to SEK 3.6 billion.

New digital solutions

The Group's goal is to within Nederman Monitoring & Control Technology continue to develop new digital solutions into a complete ecosystem of services that can be marketed towards both new and existing customers with the installation of Nederman's systems. To achieve this, the company is successively building up the new competence necessary to create an attractive offering with a robust infrastructure for IoT.

Strategy and financial objectives

Nederman's aim is to achieve a sales growth of 8-10 percent over a business cycle and that an operating margin of at least reach 10 percent shall be achieved. To achieve these goals, Nederman is focusing on four priority areas:

  • Expansion into new customer and market segments
  • Developed positions in the value chain
  • Geographic expansion
  • Development of new products and solutions.

During the last five years, sales growth has averaged 6.2 percent. During the period, the adjusted operating margin varied between 7.1 and 9.1 percent and in 2018 amounted to 8.7 percent. The average dividend during the period was 40.5 percent of net profit.

Three sales segments

Nederman's sales model is divided into three segments in order to deliver solutions to customers' challenges as effectively as possible.

Product sales Nederman has a wide range of standard products that solve common problems related to smoke, gas, dust, materials recycling, the working environment and efficient production.

Solutions Nederman's solutions are designed to solve more complex tasks and specific customer problems. Business activities include careful preliminary study of the customer's business operations and needs, planning and system design, installation, commissioning and training.

Service and aftermarket Service is an integral part of Nederman's offering and a focus area for growth. By offering qualified service with good availability, Nederman helps to ensure continuous operation without expensive interruptions to customers' production.

Accounting policies

This interim report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable provisions of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The report for the parent company has been prepared in accordance with Swedish Annual Accounts Act chapter 9 and RFR 2. The same accounting policies and valuation principles, except for amendments below in relation to IFRS 16 for the Group, as described in the latest annual report, see also pages 67-72 of the 2018 Annual Report, have been applied both to the Group and the parent company. The parent company applies the exemption in RFR 2 regarding IFRS 16, which means that all leases will continue to be reported as operating expenses in the income statement.

Changes that will come into effect on 1 January 2019 and beyond

IFRS 16 Leases

IFRS 16 with application for financial years commencing on 1 January 2019 supersedes IAS 17, Leases, and related interpretations. IFRS 16 establishes policies for accounting, valuation, presentation and disclosure of leasing agreements and states that lessees must report leases in the statement of financial position. This recognition model is based on the view that the lessee has a right to use an asset for a specific period of time and at the same time an obligation to pay for that right. This means that at the start date, a right of use asset that represents the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term and a lease liability that represents the present value of future lease payments are recognised in the financial statement. Depreciation costs for the right of use asset and interest expenses for the lease liability are reported in the consolidated income statement and statement of comprehensive income. After the date the lease is entered into, the lease liability is remeasured so that it reflects changes in the lease payments, for example with a change in the lease term or indexation of future lease payments. The remeasurement amount is reported as an adjustment of the right of use asset.

Nederman's primary asset class is properties, such as factories and offices, but also machinery, vehicles and equipment. The

standard contains two exceptions for reporting in the statement of financial position that Nederman applies; short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) and leases for which the underlying asset has a low value (USD 5,000). These lease payments are recognised as operating expenses in the income statement and are therefore not included in the right of use asset or the lease liability.

The definitions according to IFRS 16 are applied when assessing whether a contract contains a leased asset. A right of use asset is defined as an identified asset for which Nederman essentially is entitled to the economic benefits arising from the use of the asset and where Nederman has the right to control the use of the asset. The lease term is determined on the basis of the non-cancellable period according to the lease contract. If the contract contains an extension option and there is reasonable certainty that this will be utilised, the lease term applied consists of the non-cancellable period plus the assessed period of the extension.

The discount rate primarily consists of the implicit interest if it is available according to the lease contract. For other leasing agreements, the discount rate is the marginal loan rate. The marginal loan interest rate consists of an interest margin based on the lessee's (subsidiary within the Group) credit rating and a reference interest rate (IBOR) for the specific currency and the term of the lease asset.

In connection with the transition to IFRS 16, the Group has applied a retroactive method, which means that figures for the 2018 financial year have been restated in accordance with the new standard.

*) The Group holds financial instruments in the form of currency futures that are recorded at fair value in the balance sheet. The fair value of currency futures is determined by discounting the difference between the contracted forward rate and the forward rate that can be subscribed on the closing date for the remaining contracted period. Discounting is made using market rates. The fair value for all contracts has been determined from directly or indirectly observable market data, i.e. level 2 according to IFRS 7. For other financial instruments, the fair value and the book value are materially consistent. For further information, refer to note 24 in the 2018 Annual Report.

No member of the Board of Directors or senior executives have or have had any direct or indirect participation in any business transaction with Group companies which is or was of an exceptional character with regard to terms and conditions that occurred during the year or in any previous year. Nor has any Group company provided any loan, given any guarantees or entered into any surety relationships for any of the members of the Board of Directors or senior executives.

Note 4: Alternative performance measures

In addition to information on our reported IFRS results, we provide certain information on an underlying business performance basis. We believe that our underlying business performance measures provide meaningful supplemental information to both management, investors and other stakeholders. These underlying business performance measures should not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes to the equivalent IFRS measures, but should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measures in the reported results. This is a consistent application compared to previous periods.

The following underlying business measures are used:

Adjusted operating profit Adjusted operating margin EBITA Adjusted EBITA Adjusted EBITA margin EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA margin Equity/asset ratio Net debt Net debt/equity ratio Return on equity
