Performance measures

Strength lies in our decentralised business model and active acquisition strategy

The business climate in our main markets in the Nordic region remained stable during the second quarter of the year. In the prevailing market, we continued to deliver organic revenue growth that, together with strong contributions from acquisitions, resulted in EBITA growth of 35%, strong cash flow and healthy profit growth per share.

Comments on the market

The business situation in our main markets in the Nordic region was generally stable during the second quarter of the year. The market continued to be characterised by economic uncertainty, with cautious customers and a somewhat lower level of activity in some customer segments. The Group's primary focus – aftermarket products to Swedish industry – continued to generate stable sales in general, while sales of projects and OEM components were weaker.

The Group posted a positive sales trend with stable demand for the companies' products and services in most customer segments during the quarter. A low level of activity in certain product segments and among certain export-oriented customers, particularly in pulp and paper, continues to affect demand. This has been offset, however, by increased sales to other customer segments, such as the automotive segment, and to segments that are partly new to the Group, such as power generation and defence-related industries. Markets outside Sweden, particularly Denmark, were characterised by weak demand during the quarter. This was partly offset in Denmark by a strong performance for customers in the pharmaceutical industry.

Continued solid growth for our operations

The Group's operations delivered organic revenue growth of 1 per cent in the quarter. The Group's revenue increased by a total of 41% year on year, where acquired

businesses contributed in particular to this growth compared to last year, which contained one less trading day. EBITA increased by 35 per cent compared with the same quarter last year. Acquired businesses contributed to earnings growth during the quarter, while comparable companies successfully managed to match a somewhat lower organic growth rate with corresponding lower cost increases in order to post stable earnings. This once again demonstrates the strength of our decentralised business model.

Six new companies in the second quarter

During the quarter, the acquisitions of KmK Instrument, Hydjan, WH-Service, Sikama, ZRS Testing Systems and Minrox were completed. These companies clearly represent our focus on establishing a presence in several interesting customer segments and our shared goals: a strong business culture, being a leader in our areas, a focus on profitability and a desire to improve.

With seven acquisitions conducted so far this year, we have completed 22 acquisitions since our IPO just over two years ago that have contributed to the Group's excellent performance in terms of revenue and EBITA growth. This also means that we have succeeded in creating healthy profit growth per share for our shareholders, something that we also noted during the second quarter.

Continued healthy cash flow during the reporting period coupled with our financial position is enabling us to expand organically and has provided us with excellent

prerequisites to maintain a favourable acquisition rate in 2024.

In summary, we are continuing our established approach of developing and acquiring successful sustainable companies in the Nordic region.

Comments on the market

The business situation in our main markets in the Nordic region was generally stable during the second quarter of the year. The market continued to be characterised by economic uncertainty, with cautious customers and a somewhat lower level of activity in some customer segments. The Group's primary focus – aftermarket products to Swedish industry – continued to generate stable sales in general, while sales of projects and OEM components were weaker. Businesses outside Sweden reported weaker demand in general during the quarter.

Overall, the companies in the Group displayed good delivery capacity during the quarter, and purchasing prices and costs increased at a moderate rate.

The challenging international security situation, historically high interest rates and a more cautious attitude among customers are expected to continue to result in a somewhat sluggish market. The Group's companies are continually adopting measures 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 2023.

Performance in the second quarter of 2024

The Group posted a positive sales trend with stable demand for the companies' products and services in most customer segments during the quarter. A low level of activity in certain product segments and among certain export-oriented customers, particularly in pulp and paper, continues to affect demand. This has been offset, however, by increased sales to other customer segments, such as the automotive segment, and to segments that are partly new to the Group, such as power generation and defence-related industries. Markets outside Sweden, particularly Denmark, were characterised by weak

demand during the quarter. This was partly offset in Denmark by a strong performance for customers in the pharmaceutical industry.

Demand in the Infrastructure business area was stronger in the second quarter following seasonally weaker demand in the first quarter.

The companies in the Group are continuing to work closely with their customers to respond to changes in demand patterns and are continuing to restrict their costs.

During the second quarter, revenue increased 41 per cent compared with the year-earlier period and amounted to SEK 773 million (549). Growth in comparable units was 1 per cent. During the quarter, the acquisitions of KmK Instrument, Hydjan, WH-Service, Sikama, ZRS Testing Systems and Minrox were completed. The quarter included one more trading day than the corresponding quarter in the preceding year.

Industry business area

Offers components and related services primarily to aftermarket customers and OEMs in the industrial sector in the Nordic region. The companies are mainly resellers, but with certain proprietary products and system construction, with a significant focus on industrial improvements. The business area consists of the Power Transmission and Specialist business units.

Operations

The development of sales and earnings in Power Transmission, which consists of the company Momentum Industrial, were positive during the quarter. Volume growth continues to be seen, particularly in the automotive segment. Sales to defence-related industries are also becoming more prominent. The weaker performance of pulp and paper customers continued. Sales to metal and mining customers were somewhat weaker compared with the preceding year as a result of a number of major project deliveries in the comparative period.

The companies in Specialist displayed a stable sales and earnings level for comparable units during the quarter. In addition, acquired businesses contributed SEK 25 million to revenue for the quarter. The Swedish businesses noted generally strong demand while demand was weaker for the Danish businesses. The acquisition of Hydjan Oy was completed during the quarter.

Financial performance in the second quarter of 2024

Revenue rose by 8 per cent to SEK 446 million (414) compared with the same quarter last year. Revenue for comparable units, measured in local currency and adjusted for the number of trading days, were unchanged compared to the previous year.

EBITA amounted to SEK 61 million (59), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 13.7 per cent (14.3). The business area's profitability, measured as the return on working capital (EBITA/WC), amounted to 69 per cent (68).

Infrastructure business area

Offers products, services and solutions to industrial infrastructure customers that are critical for a functioning society. The companies are resellers and service companies, and often deliver solutions focused on secure operation, longer service life, increased efficiency and precise measurability. The business area comprises the Flow Technology and Technical Solutions business units.

Operations

Companies in Flow Technology generally performed well during the quarter, with favourable demand in Sweden. Demand in Denmark and Finland was somewhat weaker. This was partially offset in Denmark by major investments in the pharmaceutical sector. A significant part of the business unit consists of companies acquired in the current or preceding year. Acquired businesses contributed SEK 144 million to revenue for the quarter. The acquisitions of Sikama and Minrox were completed during the quarter.

In Technical Solutions, revenue increased for comparable units, with stable earnings during the second quarter. Capacity utilisation in the major workshops in Köping and Örebro was favourable, with revenue and earnings growth. Revenue declined somewhat for other workshops, but earnings were stable thanks to the initiatives implemented in the operations. Demand for the companies specialising in measurement technology and control also remained positive during the quarter. During the quarter, the acquisitions of KmK Instrument, WH-Service and ZRS Testing Systems were completed.

Financial performance in the second quarter of 2024

Revenue rose by 141 per cent to SEK 332 million (138) 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 4 per cent.

EBITA increased by 150 per cent to SEK 35 million (14), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 10.5 per cent (10.1).

The business area's profitability, measured as the return on working capital (EBITA/WC), amounted to 58 per cent (65).

Profitability, cash flow and financial position

Profitability

The Group's profitability, measured as the return on working capital (EBITA/WC), amounted to 59 per cent (60) for the most recent 12-month period. The return on equity for the same period was 29 per cent (32).

Cash flow for the period January–June 2024

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital for the reporting period was SEK 153 million (123). Cash flow was impacted by paid tax of SEK –42 million (–27), of which SEK –8 million related to the final settlement of tax from the 2022 income year. In the reporting period, inventories increased by SEK 12 million. Operating receivables increased by SEK 36 million and operating liabilities by SEK 28 million. Accordingly, cash flow from operating activities for the reporting period amounted to SEK 133 million (112). Cash flow from investing activities for the reporting period amounted to SEK –108 million (–289). Cash flow includes business combinations of SEK –90 million (–284), settlements of deferred payments regarding acquisitions of SEK –12 million (–) and net investments in non-current assets of SEK –6 million (–5).

Cash flow from financing activities for the reporting period, which amounted to SEK 12 million (196), was mainly attributable to the net change in interest-bearing liabilities of SEK 63 million (246) and the dividend paid of SEK –56 million (–50), of which SEK –2 million (–1) pertained to the dividend to non-controlling interests in subsidiaries. Cash flow for the reporting period was also impacted in an amount of SEK 5 million (–) by sales of own shares in connection with acquisitions.

Financial position

The Group's financial net loan liability at the end of the reporting period was SEK 594 million, compared with SEK 514 million at the beginning of the year. At the end of the period, the Group's operational net loan liability amounted to SEK 381 million, compared with SEK 326 million at the beginning of the financial year. The difference is largely attributable to cash flow from operating activities, acquisitions and dividends paid during the period.

Cash and cash equivalents, including unutilised granted credit facilities, totalled SEK 731 million. 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 300 million with a maturity of one year (extended in April 2025). Of the company's revolving facility and committed credit facility, SEK 526 million and SEK 121 million, respectively, were unutilised at the end of the reporting period. At the end of the reporting period, the Group had met all financial obligations to lenders.

The equity/assets ratio at the end of the reporting period was 30 per cent (32). Equity per share totalled SEK 12.95 at the end of the reporting period, compared with SEK 12.50 at the beginning of the year.

The balance-sheet total at the end of the reporting period was SEK 2,124 million, compared with SEK 1,862 million at the beginning of the year. In addition to changes in working capital, the change during the year was partly attributable to acquisitions, and acquired assets and liabilities are presented in Note 4.

Parent Company for the period January–June 2024

The Parent Company's revenue for the reporting period amounted to SEK 11 million (7) and the loss after financial items totalled SEK –11 million (–16). The loss after tax for the reporting period amounted to SEK –9 million (–13).

Employees

At the end of the reporting period, the number of employees in the Group amounted to 807, compared with 749 at the beginning of the year.

The share

Momentum Group's Class B share (ticker MMGR B) has been listed on Nasdaq Stockholm since 31 March 2022. The share price as of 30 June 2024 was SEK 173.40 (121.50).

On 7 May 2024, the Board decided, with the authorisation of the Annual General Meeting, to establish a repurchase programme to adapt the capital structure and to enable future acquisitions of businesses and operations to be paid for using treasury shares. The decision applies to repurchases of a maximum of 10 per cent of the number of Class B shares outstanding until the 2025 Annual General Meeting.

During the second quarter, Minrox AB was acquired, which was partly paid for through the transfer of 29,260 own Class B shares to the sellers at a price per share of SEK 170.87. The price corresponds to the volumeweighted average price of the company's Class B share on Nasdaq Stockholm during the ten trading days immediately preceding the closing date.

As of 30 June 2024, the holding of Class B treasury shares totalled 1,053,766 shares, corresponding to approximately 2 per cent of the total number of shares.

At the end of the period, the share capital amounted to SEK 25.2 million. The distribution by class of share was as follows:

Class of share

Total number of shares after repurchasing 49,427,123
Less: Repurchased Class B shares –1,053,766
Total number of shares before repurchasing 50,480,889
Class B shares (1 vote/share) 49,916,816
Class A shares (10 votes/share) 564,073

Long-term incentive program

The Annual General Meeting in May 2024 resolved to implement a long-term incentive program ("LTIP 2024") aimed at senior executives. The program, which entails a requirement for own investment, consists of performance shares and may comprise a maximum of 108,250 Class B shares, which corresponds to approximately 0.2 percent of all shares and votes in Momentum Group, before any recalculations. Allotment of performance shares is based on a number of different performance criteria, including the development of the company's earnings per share. Read more at momentum.group

Election Committee ahead of the 2025 AGM

The Annual General Meeting on 7 May 2024 resolved that the Election Committee ahead of the 2025 Annual General Meeting will consist of Peter Hofvenstam (nominated by Nordstjernan), Stefan Hedelius (nominated by Tom Hedelius), Jens Joller (nominated by Ampfield Management) and Claes Murander (nominated by Lannebo Fonder), with Peter Hofvenstam as the Election Committee's Chairman.

Transactions with related parties

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.

Risks and uncertainties

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.

Notes

1. Accounting policies

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 2023 have been applied. IASB has issued additions and amendments to standards that will take effect for the Group on or after 1 January 2024. These additions and amendments are deemed not to be material for the consolidated financial statement.

Parent Company accounting policies

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.

2. Financial instruments

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.

4. Business combinations

Momentum Group conducted seven business combination with closing during the reporting period. The acquisitions are described on page 9.

Acquisition analysis – business combinations with closing during the reporting period

The total purchase consideration for the acquisitions was SEK 162 million, excluding acquisition costs. Acquisition costs totalling approximately SEK 3 million were recognised in the item other operating expenses. In accordance with the preliminary acquisition analysis presented below, SEK 67 million of the purchase consideration has been allocated to goodwill and SEK 38 million to customer relations. The acquisition analyses for acquisitions closed during the second quarter are preliminary. The acquisition analyses from the first quarter are final.

The allocation to customer relationships is based on the discounted value of future cash flows attributable to each asset class, where an assessment was conducted that included margin, tied-up capital and turnover rate of the customer base, among other things. 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.

Impact on the Group's cash and cash equivalents

In addition to the acquisitions completed during the reporting period, cash flow from the acquisition of subsidiaries has also been affected by the settlement of a deferred payment of SEK 12 million.

2 Non-controlling interest is calculated as the proportional share of the identified net assets.

3 Contingent purchase considerations is recognised at a value corresponding to some 46 per cent in average of a maximum outcome. The outcome of the contingent purchase considerations will be determined continuously during 2025-2027 and is dependent on the earnings of the acquired subsidiary. The potential undiscounted amount to be paid amounts to approximately SEK 17 million.

Performance measures

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.
