INTERIM REPORT 2017 JANUARY - MARCH
2017 is off to a good start for HMS. We can report record levels when it comes to order intake, sales and operating income. Our turnover for the first quarter landed on 279 MSEK. With stable gross margin and a disciplined expansion on the cost side, we reached an operating profit of 57 MSEK, corresponding to an operating margin of 21%. Order income is on a new record level (299 MSEK), the profit trend is positive and cash flow is strong – all resulting in good opportunities for us to actively work towards continued growth.
We see an underlying improvement in the economy boosting our organic growth to almost 20%. This combined with last year's acquisitions give us an overall growth of 35% in local currencies for the first quarter.
We see very good growth in the U.S. where the willingness to invest has improved significantly. The weaker growth that we saw in Japan at the end of last year, has turned around, and Japan is now showing good growth again. Our largest market, Germany, continues to grow at a stable rate which concludes that all our markets and product lines are developing well.
The acquisitions made in 2016 developed according to plan. Belgian eWON is now an integral part of the HMS organization and continues to show good growth. Spanish Intesis is now expanding its resources in sales, marketing and development to in order to expand its international sales. The current sales trend continues to be positive.
We have initiated a number of partnerships in the United States within the area of "Industrial Internet of Things" and we see concrete inquiries and business beginning to take shape in this area. Our partnerships are primarily about complementary software solutions that can make use of the HMS communication products to gather data from industrial machines to various IT and IoT solutions.
Our focus is to drive continued growth in our business. We continue to balance our long term growth strategy with a cautious approach to costs. We believe that the market for industrial data communication is an interesting growth area, and we continue to focus on our motto "HMS — Connecting Devices."
"2017 is off to a good start for HMS. We can report new record levels when it comes to order intake, invoicing and operating profit. The new record levels for order intake means that we anticipate continued growth in the future."

GROWTH STRATEGY – HMS's main focus is on organic growth. Expansion on existing markets will be through improved and extended product ranges, new technology, high level of service and new sales channels. A certain degree of growth can be through the selective acquisition of businesses that will be a valuable complement to the company's organic growth strategy.
DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY – The Company's core expertise is made up of an extensive understanding of industrial network communication.
PRODUCT STRATEGY – HMS markets five product lines, which to a certain degree are based on a common technical platform:
PRODUCTION STRATEGY – HMS maintains an in-house lowvolume production in Halmstad, Nivelles and Igualada. Volume production takes place in close partnership with subcontractors (in Europe and Asia) in order to achieve costs flexibility and to make use of economies of scale.
MARKETING STRATEGY – The Anybus network interface cards are marketed and sold to players in industrial and infrastructure automation and Anybus Gateways to system integrators, machine manufacturers and end-users in industrial and infrastructure auto¬mation. IXXAT communication platforms are marketed and sold to machine builders of industrial applications, medical equipment and the automotive industry. eWON and Netbiter products are marketed and sold to a wide range of customers, from device manufacturers to owners of installations in need of remote management. Intesis products are marketed and sold to manufacturer, system integrators and end users in the area of building automation.
SALES STRATEGY – Sales take place via the company's sales offices on defined key markets in 10 countries. Sales on the company's other markets, in more than 50 countries, take place via agents/distributors.
HMS has designed its business models to fit each market and product line. For the Embedded market, most business is via framework agreements (i.e. design-wins). The sales cycle is relatively long and the design phase is performed in close cooperation with the customer. After that, there is steady revenue over a long period of time. For Gateways and eWON Remote Management and Control, the business model is more traditional, with a short business cycle and manufacturing based on customer orders. IXXAT and Intesis uses a mix of the above mentioned business models.

HMS presents certain financial measures in the interim report that have not been defined in accordance with IFRS. The company considers that these measures provide valuable additional information for investors and the company's management, as they enable the evaluation of relevant trends and the company's performance. As not all companies calculate financial measures in the same way, these are not always comparable with the measures used by other companies. These financial measures should therefore not be viewed as substitutes for IFRS-defined measures, unless otherwise stated.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
