*** Multiprint contributed with 6.9 SEK million in net sales and 1.2 SEK million in EBITA, first quarter 2019. If Multiprint had been consolidated on 1 January 2019, net sales for the first quarter of 2019 would have increased by SEK 11.4 million to SEK 457.3 million and EBITA by SEK 1.4 million to SEK 42.0 million. Transaction costs of SEK 0.6 million in the quarter relates to this acquisition.
2019 began well for NCAB, with a sharp increase in earnings. Order intake and sales also grew strongly in SEK. In USD, sales growth for the Group was, however, slightly weaker than previous quarters, due to weaker order intake in the fourth quarter of 2018. The rate of growth in order intake has, however, improved in the first quarter compared with the previous quarter.
Nordic has continued to deliver good growth and strong earnings. Our East segment also reported continued favorable results. Growth in Europe was slightly weaker during this quarter, following a strong fourth quarter in 2018.
It is taking longer than planned in North America to transition operations and even if we are heading in the right direction progress is still slow. We have reduced the proportion of low-tech products as planned, but this decrease is yet to be fully compensated for, though we have secured many new customers who are developing favourably. We have just got the news that the tariffs for imported goods to USA have been raised from 10 to 25 percent from 10 May.
The acquisition of Multiprint was completed in March and the integration is proceeding as planned. In Malaysia, where we launched operations three months ago, we now have four employees who are building a base of new customers. We are also launching operations in the Netherlands and have recruited a Managing Director, who will begin work at the end of June.
Our annual conference, which was held in April in Athens, is an important means of building and maintaining a strong culture. This year, we had 270 participants, 40 more than last year. Our recently published sustainability and annual report describe the high level of motivation and engagement of our employees. The result of this year's employee survey was even stronger than last year. Dedicated employees are our most important success factor as a knowledge business company – even if our focus is always on PCBs.
President and CEO, NCAB Group AB
Employee engagement is our most important success factor. y

This is information that NCAB Group AB is obligated to disclose pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation. The information was issued for publication on 14 May 2019 at 6:00 a.m. CEST. t

This is a translation of the original Swedish interim report. In the event of difference between the English translation and the Swedish original, the Swedish interim report shall prevail. e
NCAB is one of the world's leading suppliers of printed circuit boards with some 1,725 customers across 45 markets globally. It's important to reach scale advantages, why NCAB has a strong focus on growth. NCAB is leading in terms of expertise, service, sustainability and technology. Being the leading player also gives the strength to attract customers through important projects, skilled employees and the best factories.
NCAB works in deep relationships with its customers, where NCAB takes responsibility for the entire delivery so customers can focus on
their manufacturing operations. NCAB does not own any factories, but because of its Factory Management team NCAB does "own" the most important element – the relationship with the factories and the entire manufacturing process, which provides access to state-of-the-art technology and limitless capacity without the need for investments.
PCBs for demanding customers, on time with zero defects, produced sustainably at the lowest total cost.
The Number 1 PCB producer — wherever we are.
NCAB's medium-term target is to achieve average growth of about 8 per cent per year before acquisitions and an adjusted EBITA margin of approximately 8 per cent. The target for the capital structure is that net debt in relation to adjusted EBITDA should be less than 2.0 (before adjustment for IFRS 16). The debt ratio may temporarily exceed this level, in connection with a major acquisition, for example. NCAB intends to distribute available cash flow, after taking account of the company's debt situation and future growth opportunities, including acquisitions, which is expected to correspond to at least 50 per cent of net profit.
Net sales increased 19 per cent in the first quarter to SEK 445.9 million (374.4), with growth in USD at about 5 per cent. Most of NCAB's products are priced or invoiced in USD. All segments demonstrated sales growth in SEK. Nordic demonstrated a robust growth during the quarter, which was further strengthened by the acquisition of Danish Multiprint that was concluded in early March. The increase in net sales excluding Multipring was 17 per cent. Europe and East reported sustained growth, albeit at a slightly slower pace, while growth in North America was much lower and negative in USD. The total underlying market remains positive, which meant order intake rose 20 per cent during the quarter and 5 per cent in USD. Order intake in SEK increased between 20 per cent and 30 per cent in all segments with the exception of North America, where it was slightly lower compared with first quarter of 2018.
Adjusted EBITA* was SEK 40.6 million (33.5) and the adjusted EBITA margin increased to 9.1 per cent (8.9). The improved adjusted EBITA margin reflects increased sales and stronger gross margin. Operating expenses increased compared with 2018 due to both currency effects and continued recruitment mainly in the Europe and East segments. All segments noted a good improvement in earnings compared with first quarter of 2018, with highest percentage growth in the Europe segment. EBITA was SEK 40.6 million (31.1) and operating profit increased to SEK 39.4 million (30.0). Adjustments for IFRS 16 had a positive effect on EBITA of just under SEK 0.2 million, but an adverse effect on operating profit of just over SEK 0.1 million.
Net financial items amounted to SEK 3.7 million (-4.4), where the improvement was due to positive foreign exchange differences of SEK 4.5 million (-2.4). Increased interest expense due to IFRS 16 amounted to SEK 0.3 million. Tax amounted to SEK -8.7 million (-4.5). Profit after tax for the period totaled SEK 34.7 million (21.1). Earnings per share was SEK 2.06 (1.33) before dilution and SEK 2.06 (1.31) after dilution.
* No adjustment to EBITA in Q1 2019, Q1 2018 was adjusted by SEK 2.4 million
Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Estonia. All companies in the Nordic segment have greater focus on profitability than growth. The margin in this segment is higher due to a high technology content and generally lower volumes. The acquisition of Multiprint A/S will strengthen NCAB's position in the Danish market and the companies complement each other very well.
The first quarter demonstrated strong growth, particular in Norway and Denmark, while performance in Finland was slightly weaker. Net sales increased 34 per cent to SEK 129.1 million (96.1). Excluding Multiprint, net sales increased 27 per cent. Underlying growth in USD was 19 per cent. EBITA increased to SEK 21.3 million (16.0) mainly as an effect of increased sales and retained gross margin. EBITA margin was unchanged at 16.5 per cent (16.6),

France, Germany, Spain, Poland, Italy, the UK and Macedonia. In the Europe segment, the main focus is on growth. All companies have a low market share and several companies were established relatively recently. A key factor for achieving continued growth is recruitment, which is putting shortterm pressure on profitability. On 31 March 2019, the number of employees was 115, an increase of 13 compared with March 2018. A new company, which will cover the Benelux region, is under registration in the Netherlands and a Managing Director was recruited during the quarter who will take up the new position at the end of June.

Net sales in the first quarter increased 17 per cent to SEK 175.3 million (150.2). Underlying growth in USD was 3 per cent. Growth was weaker due to large deliveries and a high level of sales at the end of 2018. Growth during the quarter was strongest in Italy, while growth in other companies in the segment was in line with the segment as a whole. Order intake during the quarter grew faster than net sales and there is high potential among customers with which NCAB has recently begun collaborating.
EBITA increased to SEK 11.6 million (7.6) and EBITA margin grew to 6.6 per cent (5.1). The improvement is attributable to sales growth and strong gross margin. Italy remains in a start-up phase and is generating negative EBITA.

NCAB established a presence in the USA through two acquisitions in 2012 and 2014. Since then, three additional offices were opened to gain proximity to its customers. NCAB is in a transitional phase where sales of low-tech products are decreased in favour of more high-tech products. This has adversely impacted sales in both 2018 and the first quarter of 2019, although the company has noted an increase in the number of new customers.
The import tariffs of 10 per cent imposed in September 2018 on PCBs from China has per 10 May been increased to 25 per cent. NCAB has directly passed these import tariffs on to its customers but the tariffs have not been included in net sales. The import tariffs have caused some turbulence in the market.
Net sales increased 1 per cent in the first quarter to SEK 57.6 million (57.3). In USD, sales were, however, 11 per cent lower year-on-year. Order intake in USD was as well lower compared to last year. NCAB is now in the final phase of the transition and in combination with slight concern about import fees this had an adverse impact on net sales during the quarter. However, EBITA improved to SEK 2.3 million (1.2) and the EBITA margin was 4.0 per cent (2.0).

China, Russia and Malaysia. The East segment has a stable and expanding business in Russia. In China, NCAB is rapidly expanding among European and USA customers as well as with local Chinese end customers and contract manufacturers. NCAB has four sales offices in China – in Shenzhen, Beijing, Shanghai and Wuhan. NCAB also has several offices in Russia – in St. Petersburg, Moscow and Novosibirsk. Operations have begun in Malaysia and NCAB employed an additional three people during the quarter.
Net sales increased 18 per cent in the first quarter to SEK 83.9 million (71.0). Net sales increased by 7 per cent in USD. Strongest growth was in Russia. In China, the company has gained more and more interesting contract manufacturers, which are attracted to NCAB's high level of service and quality. Adjusted EBITA* was SEK 9.6 million (10.4) and adjusted EBITA margin amounted to 11.4 per cent (14.7). The decrease was attributable to a slightly weaker gross margin.

* EBITA was adjusted for legal costs in the settlement with the Russian tax authority, which totaled SEK 0.9 million in 2018, all related to the first quarter.
Cash flow from operating activities in the first quarter was SEK 14.8 million (-20.9). Cash flow was primarily driven by strong operating profit during the quarter. The first quarter 2018 was charged with payments for settlement with Russian tax authority, as well as transaction costs related to the IPO. Cash flow from investing activities was SEK -45.2 million (-0.8), of which SEK -44.7 million was attributable to the acquisition of Multiprint A/S, and the remaining investments amounted to SEK -0.5 million.
Net debt at the end of the quarter was SEK 50.0 million (153.1). Adjustments to IFRS 16 increased net debt by SEK 28.7 million. At 31 March, the equity/assets ratio was 41.8 per cent (22.3) and equity was
SEK 338.3 million (131.6). At the end of the period, the Group had available liquidity, including undrawn overdraft facilities, of SEK 184.7 million (39.3).
NCAB has two loans, of which one is free of instalments while the other is being repaid in quarterly instalments of SEK 2.5 million, both maturing in 2023. Moreover, there is an overdraft facility of SEK 113 million. At the balance sheet date of 31 March 2019, the company was in compliance with all covenants under the financing agreement.
Through its operations, the Group is exposed to risks of a financial and operational nature, which the Group can influence to a greater or lesser extent. Continuous processes are in place in the Group to identify any risks and assess how they should be managed.
Operational risks include commercial risks arising from changes in economic activity and demand as well as customer preferences and relationships to the company. Other risks are related to the production capabilities, capacity and order books of the company's manufacturers, and to the availability and prices of raw materials. The company is also dependent on the continued trust of its employees and its ability to recruit skilled employees.
With regard to financial risks, the Group is exposed to currency risk, primarily the exchange rates between USD, EUR and SEK, through the translation exposure of sales and purchase ledgers, and reported assets, liabilities and net investments in the operations. The Group is also exposed to other risks, such as interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
See NCAB's 2018 Annual Report for a more detailed description of the Group's risk exposure and risk management.
On 4 March 2019, an agreement was signed to acquire 100 per cent of shares in Multiprint A/S in Denmark. Multiprint has annual sales of just over SEK 60 million and the acquisition will strengthen NCAB's position in the Danish market at the same time as skilled employees are joining NCAB. More information about the acquisition is available in a separate press released published on 21 February 2019.
The company in Malaysia has now begun operating and four local employees are working with customers in the area.
The recruitment of a Managing Director to the new establishment in the Netherlands is done and she will assume her position at the end of June.
The Annual General Meeting on May 13 resolved to pay a dividend of SEK 4.50 per share.
Transactions with related parties have taken place to the same limited extent as previously and in accordance with the same principles as are described in the latest annual report.
At 31 March 2019, the number of employees was 388 (365), of whom 182 (172) were women and 206 (193) were men. The average number of employees in the organisation during the period was 383 (361), of whom 180 (168) were women and 203 (193) were men. The employee satisfaction survey held in the first quarter showed very robust engagement. The index of engaged employees increased from 87 to 89, compared with the benchmark of 78.
The Parent Company's net sales for the first quarter of 2019 were SEK 14.7 million (13.0). Sales consist exclusively of internal billing. Loss after financial items was SEK -9.9 million (-5.3). The decline in earnings was primarily due to an increase in foreign exchange losses on internal loans.
The Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer provide their assurance that the interim report gives a true and fair view of the Group's and the Parent Company's operations, position and results and describes the significant risks and uncertainties facing the Parent Company and the companies included in the Group.

The Annual General Meeting on 14 March 2018 resolved to approve a 10:1 stock split. Earnings per share have been calculated retrospectively based on the total number shares after the stock split for each period. During the second quarter 2018, the preference shares were converted into ordinary shares following a resolution of the shareholders' meeting. As the company's preference shares, in addition to interest payments, entitle the holder to dividends on the same terms as for ordinary shares, the total number of shares (i.e. ordinary shares and preference shares) is used in calculating earnings per share. In connection with the IPO in June 2018, all outstanding options were exercised to acquire new shares.

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The financial statements of the Parent Company have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and Recommendation RFR 2 Financial Reporting for Legal Entities of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board.
The applied accounting policies are consistent with the policies described in the annual report for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 and should be read in conjunction with these. With the exception of the accounting policies described below, the applied accounting policies are consistent with those described in the NCAB Group's annual report for 2018, which is available on NCAB Group's website.
Segments are accounted for in a way that is consistent with the internal reports submitted to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker is the function that is responsible for allocating resources and assessing the results of segments. In the Group, this function has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who makes strategic decisions. The Group's operations are evaluated based on geography. The following four segments have been identified: Nordic, Europe, North America and East.
The interim financial information on pages 1–26 is an integral part of this financial report.
For information on significant estimates and judgements made by management in preparing the consolidated financial statements, see Note 2 of the annual report for 2018.
IFRS 16 Leases is effective from 1 January 2019. The standard replaced IAS 17 Leases and the related interpretations. The standard requires that assets and liabilities attributable to all leases, with a few exceptions, be recognised in the balance sheet. This accounting treatment is based on the view that the lessee has a right to use an asset during a specific period of time as well as an obligation to pay for this right.
The Group has chosen to apply the modified retrospective approach during the transition. This entails that leases were restated as of 1 January 2019, without restating comparative figures. Leases of 12 months or less were not included in accordance with the simplified rules applied when using the method. Nor will leases of low value be taken into account. The discount rate applied was assessed by country taking into account the length of the lease, country-specific currency risk and risk premium. The Group has two types of operating leases that is managed as financial leases: office premises and leased cars, where lease of premises is the largest part.
The Group does not expect the effects on the balance sheet and the financial key figures to be material. On 31 March, total assets increased by SEK 28.5 million and net debt increased by SEK 28.7 million. The implementation of IFRS 16 changed Net debt / Adjusted EBITDA from 0.2 prior to IFRS 16 classification to 0.3. Refer to the table below for the restating of IFRS 16.

For more information on financial assets and liabilities, see the 2018 Annual Report, Note 2. All of the Group's financial assets and liabilities are measured at amortised cost. There are no financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value. The carrying amounts of the Group's financial assets and liabilities are deemed to approximate their fair values. All financial assets are recognised in the category "Financial assets measured at amortised cost". All financial liabilities are recognised in the category "Other financial liabilities".
The Group has provided shares in subsidiaries as collateral for liabilities to credit institutions. These are of the same extent as described in the latest annual report.
