About Momentum Group

President's statement Momentum Group | Year-end report 2023 3 Content
We concluded 2023 with a continued favourable trend in terms of both revenue and earnings. In the fourth quarter, we achieved organic sales growth of 5 per cent, and with acquisitions, we grew a full 35 per cent. EBITA increased by 25 per cent. Despite the economic turbulence that impacted the market in 2023, our operations remained stable with continued satisfactory demand.
We are seeing a certain level of caution among customers and lower activity in some customer segments, but Nordic industry, which is our primary segment, displayed strong resilience. We are continually in dialogue with our customers in order to enhance the profitability and sustainability of their operations. Our decentralised structure, with decisions made close to customers and suppliers, enables us to act quickly based on customer needs and behaviour. I am therefore particularly proud that our operations continued to perform so well and displayed an ability to adapt to current market conditions.
We exceeded all of our financial targets for 2023. EBITA growth was 30 per cent, compared with our target of at least 15 per cent per year, and EBITA amounted to SEK 265 million. Together with favourable acquisitions, we achieved this growth as a result of structured work carried out in the Group's companies in order to boost sales combined with stable or improved gross margins and good cost control.
Profitability measured as a return on working capital (EBITA/WC) reached 59 per cent, exceeding the target of at least 45 per cent. We call this our "super-efficiency target" and it is a good measure of the cash flow that our operations are able to generate. We posted strong cash flow, with operational cash flow of SEK 260 million for 2023, which is at a level that will enable us to continue to self-finance acquisitions, investments and the development of existing operations as well as provide dividends to our shareholders. For 2023, a dividend has been proposed of SEK 1.10 per share, which corresponds to a
pay-out ratio of 32 per cent, exceeding our target of at least 30 per cent.
In total, we carried out 11 acquisitions during the year, with combined annual revenue of nearly SEK 610 million. The acquired companies will continue to be operated as independent niche companies in accordance with our philosophy of decentralised responsibility.
Along with a strong balance sheet and cash flow from operating activities, our organisation and structural capital provide us with favourable conditions for maintaining healthy earnings growth and a high pace of acquisitions in 2024.
We would like to thank our dedicated employees for their many outstanding contributions during the year – and our customers and business partners for their continued confidence. By focusing on development and successfully acquiring businesses in our core areas, we have not only strengthened our market position but also introduced new talent and skills to our team.
We are an active owner with a clear vision, and we have the desire to challenge ourselves to reach new limits. We believe in the power of collaboration and innovation within the framework of our decentralised corporate responsibility, and I am convinced that our impressive journey will continue in 2024. As a step in our continued growth – both through acquisitions and to

support our operations – we launched a new organisation at the end of the year with additional focus on our skills and on establishing even better conditions for collaboration and best practice within our Group.
In conclusion, we are continuing along our established path, with earnings growth in our existing businesses together with acquisitions of successful niche companies continuing to make us "better than yesterday."
Stockholm, February 2024 Ulf Lilius, President & CEO

The business climate in our main markets in the Nordic region remained satisfactory in the final quarter of the year. The economic turbulence that dominated the market in 2023 has resulted in more cautious behaviour with lower activity from some customers, in particular in the latter part of the year. However, the scenario is not identical across the board, and demand remains generally stable, particularly within industry, which is the Group's primary customer segment. The component shortage that previously impacted the market is continuing to stabilise and companies in the Group managed a high delivery capacity in general during the period.
Purchasing prices and cost increases are continuing but with more moderate and less frequent increases.
The weak and volatile SEK is yet to have any major impact on sales or earnings, but is a factor that the businesses need to continually take into account.
A continued sluggish economy and challenging international security situation, with the uncertainty that comes with this, are also expected to lead to a somewhat cautious market moving forward. The Group's companies are continually adopting measures in their operations to adapt to the prevailing market situation. The Group's decentralised structure, with decisions made close to customers and suppliers, has proven to be a major strength in these efforts.
The current situation has not led to any changes in material bases of judgement compared with those applied in the annual report for 2022.
The Group posted a continued favourable sales trend with stable demand for the companies' products and services in most customer segments during the quarter. Certain segments and some export-oriented
customers, particularly in pulp and paper, noted a lower level of activity. This had a limited impact on the Group since other sectors experienced a more positive trend. The service operations noted a strong capacity utilisation during the quarter, albeit somewhat lower toward the end of the quarter. The companies have worked closely with their customers to understand any changes in demand patterns and, in some cases, have implemented adjustments. They also remain restrictive with their costs.
During the fourth quarter, revenue increased by 35 per cent compared with the year-earlier period and amounted to SEK 667 million (494). Growth in comparable units was 5 per cent. During the quarter, the acquisitions of Cobalch, WEH Sweden, Swerub and Helsingin Kumi were completed. The quarter included one trading day fewer than the corresponding quarter in the preceding year.

Group of companies in industrial components, services and solutions for industry, with expertise in industrial improvement as well as companies with leading specialist positions in their respective market niches.
Momentum Industrial continued to display a positive sales and earnings performance during the quarter, with volume growth primarily in the automotive and mining segments. Volumes in pulp and paper declined as a result of a challenging market situation for these customers. Sales increased in the product areas of bearings, automation and seals. The area Seals was positively impacted by an acquisition made during the year and now integrated.
The specialist companies posted a positive trend during the quarter with growth in both sales and earnings, in particular thanks to acquired businesses, which made a strong contribution of SEK 155 million in revenue. In general, the companies are experiencing stable demand, but with customers somewhat more cautious regarding certain project transactions. Certain businesses have postponed deliveries until later periods as a result of delivery delays. During the quarter, the acquisitions of Cobalch, WEH Sweden, Swerub and Helsingin Kumi were completed.
Revenue rose by 42 per cent to SEK 567 million (400) compared with the same quarter last year. Revenue for comparable units, measured in local currency and adjusted for the number of trading days, increased by 5 per cent.
EBITA amounted to SEK 69 million (49), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 12.2 per cent (12.3). EBITA increased by 41 per cent, due both to acquisitions and to the growth in earnings in existing operations.
The business area's profitability, measured as the return on working capital (EBITA/WC), amounted to 68 per cent (69).

Group of companies in industrial services in Sweden that, through its services, offers longer life and efficiency of installed machines and carries out new installations. In addition, solutions are offered for digitalised maintenance.
The companies in the business area posted a positive sales trend in general during the quarter. Workshops noted a favourable capacity utilisation, but the period was characterised by some larger projects with somewhat lower margins and a decline in capacity utilisation toward the end of the period, particularly as a result of the holiday period and the merger of the companies Mekano and Carl A. The merger was completed as planned at year-end, resulting in a lower level of activity at the end of the year due to the move, which together with moving costs, had a negative impact on earnings.
The business area's operations specialising in digitalised maintenance, Intertechna and Mytolerans, posted sales growth during the quarter, driven by increased customer activity and an improvement in demand, which also involved investments in further expansion.
Revenue rose by 5 per cent to SEK 104 million (99) compared with the same quarter last year. Revenue for comparable units, measured in local currency and adjusted for the number of trading days, increased by 7 per cent.
EBITA amounted to SEK 10 million (14), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 9.6 per cent (14.1).
The business area's profitability, measured as the return on working capital (EBITA/WC), amounted to 51 per cent (62).

The Group's profitability, measured as the return on working capital (EBITA/WC), amounted to 59 per cent (61) for the most recent 12-month period. The return on equity for the same period was 31 per cent (29).
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital for the reporting period totalled SEK 280 million (185). Cash flow was impacted by paid tax of SEK –40 million (–59). During the reporting period, inventories increased by SEK 20 million. Operating receivables and operating liabilities both declined by SEK 26 million. Accordingly, cash flow from operating activities for the reporting period amounted to SEK 260 million (135).
Cash flow from investing activities for the reporting period amounted to SEK –436 million (–105). Cash flow includes business combinations of SEK –414 million (–100), settlements of deferred payments regarding acquisitions of SEK –10 million (–) and net investments in non-current assets of SEK –12 million (–5).
Cash flow from financing activities for the reporting period, which amounted to SEK 206 million (–83), was mainly attributable to a net change in interest-bearing liabilities of SEK 239 million (–5) and the dividend paid of SEK –50 million (–), of which SEK –1 million pertained to the dividend to non-controlling interests in subsidiaries. Cash flow for the reporting period was also impacted in an amount of SEK 17 million (15) by sales of own shares in connection with acquisitions.

At the end of the period, the Group's operational net loan liability amounted to SEK 326 million, compared with SEK 48 million at the beginning of the financial year. The difference is largely attributable to cash flow from operating activities and acquisitions carried out during the reporting period, as well as the dividend paid during the second quarter.

Granted credit facilities comprise the company's revolving facility of SEK 800 million with a remaining maturity until 31 December 2026 and a committed credit facility totalling SEK 200 million with a maturity of one year (extended in March 2024).

No transactions having a material impact on the Group's position or earnings occurred between Momentum Group and its related parties during the reporting period. The related-party transactions in place pertain primarily to lease expenses in acquired companies. These leases have been entered into on market terms. The remuneration of senior executives follows the guidelines established by the General Meeting.
Momentum Group's earnings, financial position and strategic position are impacted by a number of factors that are within the control of Momentum Group as well as a number of external factors. The most important external risk factors for Momentum Group are the economic and market situation for the industrial sector. Other risks include the competitive situation in the Group's markets and the significance of efficient logistics with high accessibility, in which the accessibility of the Group's logistics centres are important for certain flows of goods, as well as a dependence on identifying and developing relationships with qualified suppliers. The Group's opportunities and risks also include the completion of acquisitions and related capital requirements and the intangible surplus value that this can result in. Cyber-related risks are also considered important.
The future trend in the market and in demand may be impacted by the challenging security situation. Delivery times and the availability of components as well as rising prices, interest rates and inflation could also impact market conditions. The Parent Company is impacted indirectly by the above risks and uncertainties through its function in the Group.
As of 1 January 2024, the business was divided into two business areas: Industry and Infrastructure. For more information, refer to the separate press release.
On 13 February, the subsidiary Agera acquired all of the shares in PW Kullagerteknik, a specialist in ball and rolling bearings.

In December 2023, the Parent Company received a Group contribution of SEK 120 million (150) that is recognised in the line item appropriations. In June 2022, the Parent Company received a dividend of SEK 40 million, which was resolved on at an EGM of the subsidiary Momentum Group Holding AB. The dividend is recognised in the line item financial income and expenses.
In the annual financial statements, it was noted that other operating income was incorrectly reported in the interim report for the second and third quarters and with a corresponding correction on the line for operating expenses. The correction amounted to SEK 4 million for the second quarter and SEK 6 million for the third quarter. The accounts have not had any impact

on the Group's financial statements. The Parent Company has its own internal bank function tasked with coordinating the Group's financial activities and ensuring that systems are available for efficient cash management. To support this, the Parent Company is the holder of the Group's cash pool and the Parent Company's current receivables and liabilities essentially comprise the subsidiaries' utilisation of credit facilities and the subsidiaries' surplus in the cash pool. At year-end, current receivables included a Group contribution received of SEK 120 million (150), which will be settled during the first quarter 2024.
Consolidated financial statements


The Interim Report for the Group was prepared in accordance with IFRS and by applying IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Securities Market Act. In addition to the financial statements and associated notes, other disclosures in accordance with IAS 34.16A are also presented in other sections of the report. The Interim Report for the Parent Company was prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Securities Market Act, which conforms to the provisions detailed in RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The same accounting policies and bases of judgement as in the annual report for 2022 have been applied. IASB has issued additions and amendments to standards that will take effect for the Group on or after 1 January 2023. These additions and amendments are deemed not to be material for the consolidated financial statement.
The Parent Company applies the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554) and recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board. RFR 2 stipulates that the Parent Company, in the annual accounts for the legal entity, is to apply all IFRS and statements adopted by the EU to the greatest extent possible within the framework of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and with due consideration given to the relationship between accounting and taxation. The recommendation states which exceptions/additions should be made from/to IFRS. Combined, this results in differences between the Group's and the Parent Company's accounting policies in the primary areas of subsidiaries, leased assets, taxes, Group contributions and shareholder contributions.
Momentum Group measures financial instruments at fair value or amortised cost in the balance sheet depending on their classification. In addition to items in financial net debt, financial instruments also include accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying amount of all of the Group's financial assets is deemed to be a reasonable approximation of their fair value. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value comprise hedging instruments for which fair value is based on observable market data and which are therefore included in level 2 according to IFRS 13 and liabilities for contingent purchase considerations that are measured using discounted cash flow and which are thus included in level 3.
The accounting policies for the Group and the Parent Company are published in full in the annual report for 2022.

Notes Momentum Group | Year-end report 2023 18 Content
On 22 May 2023, 93.7 per cent of the shares in Askalon AB were acquired and closing took place on 5 June. Askalon is a leading player in advanced valve solutions primarily for the power, refinery and process industries in Sweden, Denmark and Iceland. The remaining 6.3 per cent of the shares in the company will be acquired by Momentum Group in 2025. Accordingly, the acquisition was consolidated on a 100 per cent basis and the agreement concerning the remaining shares in the company is being treated as a deferred payment.
The total purchase consideration for the acquisition was SEK 265 million excluding acquisition costs. Acquisition costs totalling SEK 1 million were recognised in the item other operating expenses during the reporting period.
In accordance with the final acquisition analysis below, SEK 93 million of the purchase consideration was allocated to goodwill, SEK 115 million to supplier relations and SEK 24 million to customer relations. The allocation to supplier and customer relations was based on the discounted value of future cash flows attributable to each class of assets. The amortisation period for the values identified, such as supplier relations, is 15 years and a period of ten years for customer relations. The value of goodwill is based on the expectation that the Momentum Group's position in the markets in question will strengthen and on the future sales performance, profitability and other synergies that the Group expects to realise through the acquisition.
If the acquisition had been completed on 1 January 2023, a consolidated income statement for Momentum Group, including Askalon, at 31 December 2023 indicates total net revenue of SEK 2,454 million and profit after tax of SEK 176 million for the reporting period. These amounts have been calculated based on Askalon's earnings, adjusted for additional depreciation and amortisation that would have arisen if the adjustment to the fair value of tangible and intangible non-current assets had been applied from 1 January 2023, together with attributable tax effects. There are no material differences in accounting policies between Momentum Group and the acquired business, with the exception of IFRS 16, which has no material impact on profit after tax for the period in question.
During the reporting period, the acquisition of Askalon contributed SEK 212 million to the Group's revenue and SEK 13 million to the Group's EBITA.
According to the final acquisition analysis, the total assets and liabilities included in the acquisition of Askalon amounted to the following:
| Fair value | |
|---|---|
| MSEK | recognised in the Group |
| Acquired assets: | |
| Intangible non-current assets | 140 |

Of recognised goodwill, SEK 93 million is expected to be tax deductible.

Deferred payment corresponds to the value of acquisition of the remaining 6.3 per cent of the shares in the company and is not subject to interest payment. The undiscounted amount to be paid in 2025 amounts to SEK 17 million.
Momentum Group | Year-end report 2023 19 Content Notes
In addition to Askalon, Momentum Group conducted a further ten business combinations with closing during the reporting period. The acquisitions are presented on page 9.
The total purchase consideration for the acquisitions was SEK 261 million excluding acquisition costs. Acquisition costs totalling approximately SEK 3 million were recognised in the item other operating expenses. In accordance with the acquisition analysis presented below, SEK 99 million of the purchase consideration was allocated to goodwill and SEK 106 million to customer relations. The acquisition analyses for acquisitions closed in the fourth quarter are preliminary. Other acquisition analyses are final.
The allocation to customer relationships was based on the discounted value of future cash flows attributable to each class of assets, where an assessment was conducted that included margin, tied-up capital and turnover rate of the customer base. Goodwill on the acquisition date refers to the amount by which the cost of the acquired net assets exceeds their fair value. Goodwill is motivated by the anticipated future sales performance and profitability as well as the fact that the subsidiaries' position in their current markets is expected to be strengthened.
The acquisition analyses that are considered preliminary are largely because the acquisitions were closed only recently.
In addition to the acquisitions completed during the reporting period, cash flow from acquisitions of subsidiaries was also affected by the settlement of a deferred payment of SEK 10 million. The payment was made during the fourth quarter.

Parent Company financial statements


Non-controlling interest is calculated as the proportional share of the identified net assets.
Contingent purchase consideration is recognised at a value corresponding to some 90 per cent of a maximum outcome. The outcome of the contingent purchase consideration will be determined continuously during 2024-2026 and is dependent on the earnings of the acquired subsidiary. The potential undiscounted amount to be paid amounts to approximately SEK 29 million.
4 Deferred payment will be made during the first half of 2024 and will accrue interest.
Momentum Group uses certain financial performance measures in its analysis of the operations and their performance that are not defined in accordance with IFRS. Momentum Group believes that these alternative performance measures provide valuable information for the company's Board of Directors, owners and investors, since they enable a more accurate assessment of current trends and the company's performance when combined with other performance measures calculated in accordance with IFRS.
