LOWER SALES GROWTH MAINLY DUE TO NEGATIVE EASTER EFFECT A short fall in production is normal during the Easter weeks because of public holidays and holiday leave, which have a negative impact on net sales. The 2016 Easter holiday fell in the first quarter, unlike the previous year when Easter occurred in the second quarter. On Group level we estimate the negative impact from the Easter effect to 4-5 percent on net sales.
The Norwegian operations and net sales were particularly affected by the Easter effect, which was part of the reason for the lower net sales in Norway. We are also seeing weak demand in the Southwest region, due to lower activity in the oil and gas sector. We are taking action to adjust capacity due to the lower demand. Overall demand in Norway continues to be good, supported by a strong order backlog which was up 6 percent.
The underlying operating margin, excluding Finland, improved from 5.3 percent to 5.5 percent. Operating profit in Sweden increased by 16 percent, the operating margin in Norway was stable, while the operating margin in Denmark decreased due to certain project write-downs. The market is gradually improving. Given this situation, project selection is important and margin always takes precedence over volume for Bravida.
Our work on the operational efficiency initiatives continues. In terms of our productivity initiatives, it is now implemented in 83 percent of our branches, within the purchasing initiative several contracts were renegotiated and are now being implemented in our branches. Within the service initiative training has started during the first quarter and the impact on sales is expected to show in the second half in 2016.
Order intake rose by 6 percent. This helped us maintain a good order backlog at a record high level, at just over SEK 7.1 billion. Compared with the first quarter of 2015, the order backlog in Norway increased by 6 percent in local currency, by 2 percent in Denmark and by 9 percent in Sweden. This healthy order backlog points to continued stable operations.
Earnings per share rose by 99 percent to SEK 0.61 (0.31). This was partly because the first quarter of 2016 was not burdened by specific costs, which amounted to SEK 20 million in 2015. It was also because the refinancing and settlement of currency and interest rate hedges in autumn 2015 improved net financial items by SEK 53 million, of which net interest items improved by SEK 46 million. Dividend proposal to the annual general meeting SEK 1 per share is above the financial target.
Stockholm, April 2016
The market is benefitting from continued healthy demand for construction of housing, public-sector buildings and infrastructure projects. Construction firms' order backlogs are stable. The overall construction market is strong in Sweden, and improvements are being seen in Denmark and Finland. In Norway, demand is lower in the Southwest region due to lower activity in the oil and gas sector but the construction market is otherwise stable.
Net sales in the first quarter totalled SEK 3,427 million (3,325), an increase of 3 percent compared with the first quarter of 2015. Adjusted for currency fluctuations and acquisitions, sales decreased by 3 percent. Currency fluctuations reduced net sales by 2 percent in the quarter, while acquisitions contributed an 8 percent increase in net sales. The 2016 Easter holiday fell in the first quarter, unlike the previous year when Easter occurred in the second quarter. This has a negative impact on the comparison of net sales.
Acquisitions took place in Norway and Denmark in the first quarter of 2016, while in 2015 there were acquisitions in all countries.
In Sweden, net sales were SEK 2,098 million (2,001), an increase of 5 percent. In Norway, net sales were SEK 657 million (821), a decrease of 20 percent; in local currency sales decreased by 12 percent. In Denmark, net sales were unchanged at SEK 510 million (510). In Finland, net sales were SEK 162 million (0). No comparative figures are available as the Finnish operations were established in June 2015.
Order intake in the first quarter totalled SEK 3,469 million (3,236), an increase of 6 percent, which was due in particular to strong order intake in Denmark. In Sweden, order intake rose by 2 percent. In Norway, order intake decreased by 1 percent in local currency. In Denmark, order intake rose by 12 percent. The order backlog at 31 March was SEK 7,135 million (6,502), an increase of 10 percent and a new record level for Bravida.
Operating profit in the first quarter rose by 15 percent to SEK 175 million (152), resulting in an operating margin of 5.1 percent (4.6). Operating profit in Sweden increased by 16 percent to SEK 113 million (97). As a result of lower net sales, operating profit in Norway was SEK 38 million (49). Operating profit in Denmark decreased to SEK 18 million (25) owing to project write-downs. Operating income in Finland was negative at SEK -3 million (-3). Costs in the Finnish business in 2015 mainly related to costs for management in Finland, who were employed at the end of 2014. Group-wide operating profit was SEK 8 million (-15). Specific costs of SEK 20 million impacted operating profit in the first quarter of 2015 (Note 3). Adjusted operating profit was SEK 175 million (172) and the adjusted operating margin was 5.1 percent (5.2). Establishment of the Finnish business during the period resulted in a 0.4 (0.1) percent dilution of the operating margin; accounting for this, the adjusted operating margin was 5.5 percent (5.3).
Net financial items in the first quarter amounted to SEK -15 million (-49) and the impact on earnings from the market-based measurement of currency and interest rate hedges was SEK 0 million (-20). In October 2015, the Group refinanced its debt by replacing bond financing with bank financing, with bonds and related currency and interest rate hedges being repaid. Profit after financial items was SEK 159 million (84). Profit after tax was SEK 123 million (62). Earnings per share for the first quarter were SEK 0.61 (0.31).
Depreciation and amortisation of machinery, equipment and intangible assets in the first quarter amounted to SEK 6 million (5).
The tax expense for the first quarter was SEK -36 million (-22). Profit before tax was SEK 159 million (84). The effective tax rate for the quarter was 23 (26) percent.

Cash flow from operating activities in the first quarter was SEK 13 million (289). Cash flow from investing activities was SEK -13 million (-65). Cash flow from financing activities was SEK -200 million (-57).
Investments in machinery and equipment in the first quarter amounted to SEK -1 million (-4). Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses amounted to SEK -11 million (-66). The cash flow was weak due to a very strong cash flow in the last quarter in 2015. Working capital was still on a good level -7.2 percent of net sales in the end of the quarter. Tax paid in the quarter was SEK 30 million (3).
Bravida made two acquisitions in the first quarter, one in Norway and one in Denmark. VVS Engineering AS was acquired on 1 January 2016 and has operations in Oslo. The company has annual sales of SEK 69 million and 35 employees and offers heating, cooling and sprinkler installation services. On 1 March 2016, the electrical business of EnergiMidt was acquired.

They encompass service and installation in the areas of electrical systems, energy optimisation, solar PV and low-voltage systems. The acquired businesses have estimated annual sales of SEK 107 million and a total of 60 employees.

On 8 April 2016, the remaining 25 percent of shares in HS:Vagle Elektro AS and HS:Vagle Rör AS in Sandnes, Norway were acquired. The acquisition will enable synergies with other Bravida units in the Stavanger area.
Bravida acquired 75 percent of shares in HS:Vagle Elektro AS and HS:Vagle Rör in December 2014.
Changes in market conditions, financial uncertainty and political decisions are the external factors that mainly affect demand for new construction of housing and commercial property, as well as investment from industry and the public sector. Demand for service and maintenance is less sensitive to economic fluctuations. Operating risks are related to day-to-day business operations such as tendering, price risks, capacity utilisation and revenue recognition. Management of these risks is part of Bravida's ongoing business process. The percentage-of-completion method is used for projects and is based on the extent of completion of each project and the expected date of completion. A well-developed process for the monitoring of projects is essential in limiting the risk of incorrect revenue recognition. Bravida continually monitors the financial status of each project to ensure that individual project calculations are not exceeded. The Group is also exposed to impairment loss risks in fixedprice contracts and various types of financial risk such as currency, interest rate and credit risk. These material risks and uncertainties apply to both parent company and the consolidated Group.
Construction activity in Sweden is stable due to healthy demand from publicsector new-builds and renovation and new-builds and renovations of housing. Construction activity is benefiting from urbanisation and low interest rate levels. Economic indicators for the construction industry are at a historically high level and the production index for the construction sector shows stable growth. Bravida estimates demand for multi-technical services to be strong in the metropolitan areas and in the university towns and to be good in the rest of Sweden, except for the most northern parts where the demand is weaker. Bravida Sweden's customers largely consist of construction firms. In the first quarter of 2016, 39 percent of net sales came from construction firms, 12 percent from property companies, 11 percent from public-sector customers, with the remainder coming from other business sectors.
Net sales in Sweden in the first quarter rose by 5 percent to SEK 2,098 million (2,001). Operating profit rose by 16 percent to SEK 113 million (97), resulting in an operating margin of 5.4 percent (4.9).
Order intake in Sweden increased by 2 percent in the first quarter. The order backlog at the end of the period was SEK 4,003 million (3,681), which is a 9 percent increase on the year-earlier period.
Bravida Sweden received a number of medium-sized orders in the first quarter with an order value of SEK 10–15 million. The orders relate to housing and office premises, as well as a leisure centre and an industrial building. A large order was received in relation to the renovation and extension of Värnamo hospital, for which Bravida has been commissioned to install electrical systems, heating and plumbing and sprinklers, with an order value of SEK 100 million.
The average number of employees during the period was 5,136 (5,032).

Skolfastigheter i Stockholm AB, SISAB, owns most of the properties used by Stockholm's schools and pre-schools. SISAB aims to offer well-maintained, pleasant and appropriate educational environments. Bravida TSM carries out all electrical and HVAC service and technical services management at the properties and has incorporated its remediation system into SISAB's existing IT systems to provide efficient fault reporting that leads to quick repairs.
The Norwegian economy has weakened over the past year because of the fall in the price of oil. However, as a result of increased investments in public-sector construction and infrastructure and housing, the Norwegian construction sector was stable in 2015. The construction of commercial facilities and housing has increased in the first few months of 2016 by 10 percent and 16 percent, respectively, compared with the year-earlier period. Bravida estimates demand for multi-technical services to be strong in the Oslo area and in northern Norway and to be good in the rest of Norway, except for the Southwest area where demand is weaker.
The customer base in Norway is well diversified. In the first quarter of 2016, 21 percent of net sales came from construction firms, 20 percent from public-sector customers, remaining 59 percent coming from other business sectors.
Net sales for the first quarter decreased by 20 percent to SEK 657 million (821). In local currency, net sales decreased by 12 percent. The lower sales were mainly due to lower demands in the Southwest region, due to lower activity in the oil and gas sector and to Easter falling in March 2016 rather than April as it did in 2015. Easter results in production losses owing to public holidays and holiday leave and consequently results in lower net sales.
Operating profit in Norway was SEK 38 million (49), which equates to an operating margin of 5.8 percent (6.0). In Norwegian kroner, operating profit decreased by 15 percent.
Order intake was reduced by 1 percent, due to the lower demand in the Southwest area. At the end of the period, the order backlog was SEK 1,420 million (1,454), a decrease of 2 percent. In local currency, however, the order backlog increased by 6 percent. Bravida Norway received a number of large orders in the first quarter relating to office buildings ordered for public-sector use and an industrial building. The majority of order intake in the first quarter, however, related to small and medium-sized installation projects and service.
The average number of employees during the period was higher than the previous year, at 2,348 (2,333).

Northern Europe's largest charging facility for electric cars has been completed in Bærum, Norway, enabling employees of Det Norske Veritas, DNV, to charge their vehicles. Bravida has installed 100 new type-two charging stations in the car park in Høvik. Bravida also provided voltage regulation, which reduced the number of main cables and overload protection.
The Danish construction market has improved during the last year. This is through increased new construction and renovation of public-sector buildings such as hospitals, universities, schools and investments in infrastructure, as well as increased new construction and renovation of housing. However, the confidence indicator for the Danish construction sector is still slightly below the normal level, although there has been a gradual improvement over the past year. Bravida estimates demand for multi-technical services to be good in the Copenhagen area and in the larger cities, in the rest of Denmark the market is weaker. Bravida Denmark largely has public-sector customers. In the first quarter of 2016, 44 percent of net sales came from public-sector customers, 17 percent from industrial companies and 15 percent from construction firms, with the remaining 24 percent coming from other business sectors.
Net sales were unchanged in the first quarter at SEK 510 million (510).
Operating profit was SEK 18 million (25), which equates to an operating margin of 3.5 percent (4.8). The weaker operating profit in the first quarter was attributable to two project write-downs.
The strong trend in order intake from the end of last year continued during the first quarter, order intake increased by 12 percent. The good order intake was explained by increased service revenues and many small and medium-sized installation orders.
At the end of the quarter, the order backlog was SEK 1,398 million (1,366), which was an increase by 2 percent. Examples of orders during the first quarter were; an order from a hospital for the installation of heating and plumbing and sprinkler, an order for the installation of HVAC and cooling systems in an industrial plant and an order for HVAC and heating and plumbing installations for the renovation of apartments.
The average number of employees in the first quarter of 2016 was 1,482 (1,364).

The Port of Aalborg has launched an initiative to reduce electricity consumption at the port. As part of this, Bravida has installed new 200 W LED lighting in a large area of the port, resulting in savings of over 80,000 kWh/year. And the fact that the system can be remotely controlled means it is possible to switch from guide lighting to work lighting using internet or a smartphone app.
The construction sector in Finland has been weak for a long period. Although, the confidence indicator for the Finnish construction industry show that market conditions are gradually improving. It is encouraging that construction firms' sales increased by almost 8 percent in the final quarter of 2015.
Net sales for the first quarter were SEK 162 million (0).
Operating income was SEK -3 million (-3), which equates to an operating margin of -1.8 percent (0). Costs in the first quarter of 2015 mainly related to personnel costs for management in Finland who were employed at the end of 2014.
Bravida Finland was formed in 2015 through the acquisition of the installation and service divisions of Peko Group in June 2015 and Halmesvaara Oy in July 2015.

The fair value of interest rate hedges are calculated using market value on the basis of listed prices. Based on the input data used, valuation can be classified as follows:
− Level 1 refers to fully observable data, unadjusted listed prices on an active market for identical assets and liabilities to which the company has access at the time of valuation.
Currency and interest hedges of the Group and the parent company which were ended during 2015 belonged to level 2.
