Continued strong order intake in challenging markets

I am proud to report that Inwido is continuing to grow profitably. Order intake in Q3 increased for the second successive quarter, by 3 percent, both overall and adjusted for acquisitions. Sidey Group, which was acquired in July 2023, is now included in the comparative figures. Net sales in the quarter decreased by 3 percent to SEK 2,273 million (2,339) and operating EBITA amounted to SEK 304 million (308), while the operating EBITA margin increased to 13.4 percent (13.2).

Although demand in some market segments has started to rise since the spring, and leading macroeconomic indicators have gradually become more positive, several of our business units are facing challenges in the form of low demand and fierce price pressure in their

markets, above all in Finland, Norway and the UK. In light of this, we are managing the decline in volume well and maintaining good margins, thanks to our clear governance model and ever more efficient operational platforms. Inwido is also continuing to win market share in its principal markets, which is a confirmation of our successful strategy.

Acquisitions form one of the cornerstones of our profitable growth strategy, and during the quarter Inwido's largest business unit in Finland, Pihla Group, acquired Artic-Kaihdin, one of Finland's leading manufacturers of sun protection solutions. We are continuing to see an increased number of potential acquisition candidates, and I can note that Inwido's attractiveness as a potential buyer remains high.

In the key performance indicators for sustainability work, sick leave and health and safety are continuing to improve, which is gratifying. The unit-related figures in the field of the environment continue to be challenged by lower volumes, although the absolute figures are pointing in a positive direction. Above all, energy consumption is the area that is developing negatively, mainly as a result of Sidey Group, which with its large fleet of vehicles is now included in the sustainability figures. The focused work aimed at reducing the Group's environmental impact and achieving the established SBTi goals in both the short and the long term is proceeding according to plan.

Business Area Scandinavia is continuing to deliver high margins. The strong market positions we hold in this business area, together with a favorable mix, resulted in the operating EBITA margin during the quarter increasing to 16.5 percent (16.0). The level of activity in the Danish renovation market is good, and there are early signs that demand among consumers in Sweden has also bottomed out. Order intake increased by 2 percent, which should be viewed in the light of the significant decline in volume within new build.

Business Area Eastern Europe continues to be affected by the sharp slowdown in the volume of new build. The fact that the business area, with a drop in sales of 15 per cent during the quarter, is still delivering an operating EBITA margin of 10.8 per cent (12.7) is due to productivity-enhancing work. It is pleasing to note that both order intake and the order backlog rose by 11 percent during the quarter.

Business Area e-Commerce has continued the positive trend during the third quarter as well, and is considered to have advanced its positions in all markets. Sales increased by 7 percent compared to the corresponding period in 2023. The increase in volume contributed to the operating EBITA margin rising to 7.7 percent (7.5), despite increased market investments. These strategic investments are also having an impact on order intake, which is increasing by 16 percent.

Business Area Western Europe continued to perform well in the third quarter with a growth in sales of 11 percent, while the operating EBITA margin increased to 13.5 percent (11.4). It is gratifying to see that several of Inwido's major business units in the UK are now delivering increased volumes and improved profitability in a market that otherwise remains weak. Jonna Opitz, who has been acting EVP for Business Area Western Europe since October 2023, has now taken up this role permanently.

Outlook

Inwido is on an exciting journey of growth towards sales of SEK 20 billion by 2030. Step by step, we are moving in the right direction, strengthened by factors such as increased order intake, gained market shares and an ever more efficient operational platform.

The main external drivers of Inwido's profitable growth, both in the short and the long term, are a normalization of demand within renovation, the management of pent-up demand within new build, and the green transition to energy-efficient housing in the EU. As well as these external factors, the Group will place additional focus on product development, internal cost and sales synergies, as well as value-creating acquisitions in both existing and new geographic areas.

In a geopolitically challenging environment, our outlook is supported by leading macroeconomic and construction-related indicators. Overall, this gives us confidence ahead of 2025 and 2026.

Net sales and order intake

During the third quarter of the year sales decreased by 3 percent (organically down 1 percent) to SEK 2,273 million (2,339) as a result of the generally weaker demand in most of Inwido's markets. Net sales during the period January–September amounted to SEK 6,415 million (6,697), corresponding to a 4 percent decline (organically, down 10 percent).

In the third quarter, total order intake rose by 3 percent compared with the corresponding quarter last year (3 percent adjusted for acquisitions). Order intake was up 2 percent in Business Area Scandinavia, up 11 percent in Eastern Europe, down 8 percent in Western Europe and up 16 percent in e-Commerce. The order backlog at the end of the period increased by 9 percent to SEK 2,640 million (up 8 percent adjusted for acquisitions).

RTM = Rolling Twelve Months

Operating EBITA

In the third quarter, operating EBITA amounted to SEK 304 million (308) and the operating EBITA margin increased to 13.4 percent (13.2). Improved efficiency resulted in increased margins in all business areas, with the exception of Eastern Europe.

During the period January–September, operating EBITA amounted to SEK 657 million (737) and the operating EBITA margin amounted to 10.2 percent (11.0).

Financial items

Net financial items for the third quarter amounted to a negative SEK 35 million (negative 49) as a consequence of lower interest expenses, as well as lower negative currency effects. For the period January–September, net financial items amounted to negative SEK 92 million (negative 77).

Profit before and after tax

In the third quarter, profit before tax rose to SEK 254 million (240). Income taxes amounted to negative SEK 56 million (negative 41) and profit after tax amounted to SEK 198 million (200). Over the period January–September, profit before tax amounted to SEK 497 million (628). Income taxes amounted to negative SEK 117 million (negative 120) and profit after tax amounted to SEK 380 million (508).

Earnings per share

In the third quarter, earnings per share before and after dilution amounted to SEK 3.23 (3.25) and 3.22 (3.25), respectively. Over the period January–September, earnings per share before and after dilution amounted to SEK 6.12 (8.52) and 6.10 (8.52), respectively.

Items affecting comparability

Items affecting comparability that are non-recurring and have a significant impact on profit are important in understanding the underlying development of operations. Expenses relate primarily to acquisition-related expenses and restructuring measures during a consolidation phase, in which the company enhances efficiency through, for example, closures or reorganization of production facilities and sales units. These expenses primarily consist of impairment of assets, personnel costs and other external expenses.

Items affecting comparability amounted to negative SEK 3 million (negative 7) during the third quarter and pertain mainly to acquisition costs. For the period January–September, items affecting comparability amounted to net negative SEK 33 million (negative 8) and mainly relate to inventory impairment losses in Estonia as well as restructuring costs in connection with the offensive initiative in Vetlanda, where two factories are being merged into one, resulting in increased capacity and efficiency.

Gross investments, depreciation, amortization and impairment

Gross investments in tangible non-current assets in the third quarter amounted to SEK 69 million (61). Depreciation and impairment amounted to SEK 93 million (96). For the period January–September, gross investments in tangible non-current assets amounted to SEK 212 million (150). Depreciation and impairment amounted to SEK 275 million (253).

Cash flow

For the third quarter, cash flow from operating activities after changes in working capital decreased to SEK 332 million (342). For the period January–September, cash flow from operating activities after changes in working capital amounted to SEK 459 million (667).

For the third quarter, cash flow from investing activities amounted to negative SEK 107 million (negative 484). For the period January–September, cash flow from investing activities was negative SEK 265 million (negative 584). The deviation from the previous year is primarily explained by acquisitions.

For the third quarter, cash flow from financing activities amounted to negative SEK 28 million (negative 38). For the period January–September, cash flow from financing activities was negative SEK 509 million (negative 503).

Return on operating capital

The return on operating capital decreased to 13.1 percent (16.2), primarily as a result of lower rolling 12-month earnings, as well as increased investments.

Financial position and liquidity

Inwido's principal financing consists of bank loans based on bilateral, sustainability-linked credit agreements expiring in the period 2025–2028. The aforementioned credit agreements include financial covenants that are followed up on a quarterly basis. Inwido meets the terms of existing credit agreements.

On July 11, 2024, Inwido entered into a bilateral credit agreement with the aim of refinancing the agreement maturing in 2025, as well as the Group's main credit agreement. The new credit agreement will extend until July 2027, with two options to extend by one year each.

The Group's net debt at the end of the period amounted to SEK 1,538 million (1,534) and to SEK 1,053 million (1,018) excluding IFRS 16.

At the end of the period, indebtedness, calculated as interest-bearing net debt/operating EBITDA, was a multiple of 1.2 (1.1) and 0.9 (0.8) excluding IFRS 16. At the end of the period, consolidated cash and equivalents amounted to SEK 603 million (942). Available funds, including unutilized credit facilities, amounted to SEK 2,083 million (2,483).

Seasonal variations

Inwido's operations are affected by seasonal fluctuations. The weakest period is the first quarter, which normally accounts for about 20 percent of annual sales. The second and third quarters are normally of equal strength and combined account for slightly more than 50 percent of annual sales, while the fourth quarter of the year is normally the strongest with slightly less than 30 percent of annual sales. The largest seasonal variations are within the Consumer market, although sales to the Industry market are also dependent on the season and weather.

Employees

Over the period January–September 2024, the number of employees averaged 4,501 (4,708).

Parent Company

The Parent Company, Inwido AB (publ), is purely a holding company with no operations of its own. The Parent Company's profit mainly reflects the net of revenues for joint Group services and deductions for wages, other remunerations and interest expenses.

Shares and share capital

As per September 30, 2024, share capital amounted to SEK 231,870,112 and the number of shares totaled 57,967,528 before dilution and 58,140,528 after dilution. The company has one (1) class of shares. Each share entitles the holder to one vote at general meetings. At the end of the period, the closing price was SEK 187.90 and the company's market capitalization was SEK 10,892 million. The total number of shareholders amounts to approximately 15,700.

Acquisitions

On September 2, 2024, Inwido's largest business unit in Finland, Pihla Group, acquired Artic-Kaihdin, one of Finland's leading manufacturers of sun protection solutions. This acquisition is offering new commercial opportunities and a platform for growth.

Artic-Kaihdin's annual sales have on average amounted to approximately SEK 80 million over the past three years, with an estimated market share of 5 percent in the fragmented Finnish sun protection market. The company sells to a range of customer segments: the window industry, new build projects and specialized sun protection stores. Pihla Group currently purchases around 15 percent of the company's sales, and the intention is to increase the purchase of sun protection solutions after the acquisition.

Inwido is acquiring 60 percent of the shares in the initial phase, and the purchase consideration is in line with Inwido's normal multiples. The established and experienced management team will remain as minority shareholders for 3+ years. Phase 2 of the acquisition will take place through put and call options after the completion of the accounts for the 2026 financial year, and the price that is paid for the remaining 40% of the shares will depend on Artic-Kaihdin's future development. See Note 5 for further information.

Significant events after the end of the period

There have been no significant events to report following the end of the period.

Incentive program

The Annual General Meetings in 2021–2024 resolved to establish long-term incentive programs, comprising warrants issues to Group management. If fully exercised, the maximum dilution effect of the programs is approximately 0.7 percent of the shares and votes in the Company. It will be possible for the subscription of shares supported by warrants to occur during predefined subscription periods from August 1, 2024 to August 31, 2028. For more detailed information, refer to the 2021-2023 Annual Reports and the minutes of the 2024 Annual General Meeting.

Pledged assets and contingent liabilities

No significant changes in pledged assets or contingent liabilities occurred during the period.

Future prospects

Inwido is on an exciting journey of growth towards sales of SEK 20 billion by 2030. Step by step, we are moving in the right direction, strengthened by factors such as increased order intake, gained market shares and an ever more efficient operational platform.

The main external drivers of Inwido's profitable growth, both in the short and the long term, are a normalization of demand within renovation, the management of pent-up demand within new build, and the green transition to energy-efficient housing in the EU. As well as these external factors, the Group will place additional focus on product development, internal cost and sales synergies, as well as value-creating acquisitions in both existing and new geographic areas.

In a geopolitically challenging environment, our outlook is supported by leading macroeconomic and construction-related indicators. Overall, this gives us confidence ahead of 2025 and 2026.

Inwido's operations and segments

Inwido improves people's lives indoors with windows and doors. As Europe's leading window group, Inwido's business concept is to develop and sell the market's best customized window and door solutions through a decentralized structure and with focus on the consumer-driven market, in order to create long-term sustainable growth, organically and through acquisitions.

Inwido consists of 35 business units with approximately 4,200 employees in twelve countries. In 2023, the Group achieved sales of just over SEK 9 billion with an operating EBITA margin of 11.4 percent.

In 2023, sales to the Consumer market accounted for 73 percent of total net sales, while sales to the Industry market accounted for the remaining 27 percent.

Scandinavia – improved margin with growing order book

During the third quarter of the year, net sales fell by 4 percent to SEK 1,014 million (1,060), corresponding to an organic decrease of 3 percent.

Order intake increased by 2 percent. At the end of the period, the order backlog was 18 percent higher compared to the end of the corresponding period last year, which was also an improvement in relation to the second quarter of this year.

The new build market in Sweden remains weak, while the level of activity in the renovation market, particularly in Denmark, is relatively good. During the quarter, early signs of a recovery could also be noted in the Swedish renovation market.

In the third quarter, operating EBITA amounted to SEK 168 million (170) and the operating EBITA margin increased to 16.5 percent (16.0) as a result of efficiency improvements.

Over the period January–September, net sales amounted to SEK 2,947 million (3,330), which was 12 percent lower than in the corresponding period last year. The operating EBITA margin amounted to 13.1 percent (13.7).

Eastern Europe – higher order intake in a weak market

Net sales for the third quarter amounted to SEK 473 million (559), corresponding to an organic decrease of 14 percent.

Order intake rose by 11 percent, despite the continued weak industrial market in Finland. This resulted in the order backlog being 11 percent higher at the end of the third quarter compared to the end of the corresponding period last year.

During the third quarter, operating EBITA fell to SEK 51 million (71) and the operating EBITA margin decreased to 10.8 percent (12.7) as a result of lower sales.

Over the third quarter, operating EBITA rose to SEK 68 million (52) and the operating EBITA margin increased to 13.5 percent (11.4). It is gratifying to see that several of Inwido's major units in the UK are now delivering higher sales and improved profitability in a market that otherwise remains weak.

During the period January–September, net sales rose to SEK 1,402 million (906), which was 55 percent higher than for the corresponding period last year, above all as a result of the acquisition of Sidey Group.

Inwido's sustainability work

After validation by the Science Based Targets initiative, the first year's climate impact has been calculated. Relative to the baseline in 2022, the Group's climate impact has decreased by 5 percent, a good development towards our goals to reduced climate impact by 2030.

Important events during the quarter:

  • We are seeing a positive trend regarding the unit-related environmental key performance indicators, with the exception of energy usage which is affected by lower production volumes, and the fact that Sidey Group is now included in the sustainability reporting. Sidey Group owns its own fleet of vehicles, which have a negative impact on the key performance indicator.
  • All key performance indicators for health and safety are pointing in a positive direction compared to RTM and 2023 as a whole. Sickleave has also decreased significantly thanks to various measures and good follow-up. For example, our Finnish business unit, Pihla Group, now has its own security center, inspired by Elitfönster.
  • Investments in new painting processes, transitioning to water-based paint and impregnation have taken place in several business units. In addition to the environmental benefits, production capacity is increasing while the processes and safety in the factory are improving.
  • Inwido's 2024 sustainability award went to Pihla Group for its solid and innovative sustainability work in areas such as product development, reduced carbon footprint and proactive health and safety work.

Notes

Note 1 – Accounting principles

This summary consolidated interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable provisions in the Annual Accounts Act. The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act, Chapter 9, Interim Financial Reporting. The Group applies the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as well as interpretations from the IFRS Interpretations Committee, as adopted by the EU. The Group applies the same accounting principles and valuation methods as in the most recent annual report. Inwido considers that no other new and amended standards approved by the EU, as well as interpretation statements from the IFRS Interpretations Committee, which have entered into force after January 1, 2024, will affect earnings or the financial position to any significant extent. The Group applies the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR1, Supplementary accounting rules for groups, and the Parent Company applies RFR2.

In addition to the financial statements, disclosures in accordance with IAS 34.16A are also presented in other parts of the interim report.

The financial reports are presented in SEK, rounded off to the nearest hundred thousand, unless otherwise stated. This process of rounding off can result in the total of the sub-items in one or more rows or columns not corresponding to the sum total for the row or column.

Note 2 – Risks and uncertainties

Inwido's operations are subject to various risks. Operational risks can be divided into operational, financial and external risks. Operational risks involve, among other things, risks related to losses on account receivable, warranty and product liability, key personnel, interruptions in production, IT systems, intellectual property rights, product development, restructuring, acquisitions and integration, insurance and corporate governance. The financial risks primarily involve changes in exchange rates and interest rates, liquidity risk, capacity to raise capital, financial credit risks and risks associated with goodwill. External risks involve, among other things, risks related to market trends, competition, commodity prices, political decisions, legal disputes, tax and climate risks.

Risk management in Inwido is based on a structured process for the continuous identification and assessment of risks, their probabilities and potential impacts on the Group. The focus is on identifying controllable risks and managing them to thereby mitigate the overall level of risk in the operations. The Group's risks are described in the 2023 Annual Report. Beyond these, no significant additional risks or uncertainties have arisen.

Note 3 – Financial instruments

Financial instruments are valued at fair value in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The balance sheet item 'Financial investments' contains the Group's holdings of unlisted securities. The cost for these has been deemed to be a reasonable approximation of their value.

Note 5 – Acquisitions

As of February 29, 2024, Inwido's largest business unit in Finland, Pihla Group Oy, acquired 60 percent of the shares in the ventilation company Finluft Oy, which has annual sales of approximately SEK 7 million. The remaining shares will be acquired through put and call options after the completion of the accounts for the 2026 financial year, and the price that is paid for the remaining 40 percent of the shares will depend on Finluft's future development. Finluft manufactures window-integrated, energy-efficient ventilation solutions that improve the quality of the indoor air.

As of March 21, 2024, Inwido acquired the remaining 25 percent of the shares in MV Center Oy, which means that Inwido now owns 100 percent of the company. The acquisition was financed through existing credit facilities.

As of March 28, 2024, Inwido acquired the remaining 33 percent of the shares in Hyvinkään Puuseppien Oy, which means that Inwido now owns 100 percent of the company. The acquisition was financed through existing credit facilities.

On September 2, 2024, Inwido's largest business unit in Finland, Pihla Group, acquired Artic-Kaihdin, one of Finland's leading manufacturers of sun protection solutions. This acquisition is offering new commercial opportunities and a platform for growth.

Artic-Kaihdin's annual sales have on average amounted to approximately SEK 80 million over the past three years, with an estimated market share of 5 percent in the fragmented Finnish sun protection market. The company sells to a range of customer segments: the window industry, construction projects and specialized sun protection stores. Pihla Group currently purchases around 15 percent of the company's sales, and the intention is to increase the purchase of sun protection solutions after the acquisition. Inwido is acquiring 60 percent of the shares in the initial phase, and the purchase consideration is in line with Inwido's normal multiples. The established and experienced management team will remain as minority shareholders for 3+ years. Phase 2 of the acquisition will take place through put and call options after the completion of the accounts for the 2026 financial year, and the price that is paid for the remaining 40 percent of the shares will depend on Artic-Kaihdin's future development.

Review report

To the Board of Directors of Inwido AB (publ)

Corporate identity number 556633-3828

Introduction

We have reviewed the summary interim financial information (the interim report) of Inwido AB (publ) as of September 30, 2024 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Orientation and scope of the review

We have performed this review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily among persons responsible for financial matters and accounting issues and performing analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and generally accepted auditing standards. The procedures performed consequently do not enable us to obtain an assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. The stated conclusion based on a review therefore does not have the certainty that an expressed opinion based on an audit has.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act for the Group and in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for the Parent Company.

Definitions of alternative key ratios not defined by IFRS

Inwido presents certain alternative financial key performance indicators (KPIs) in addition to the conventional KPIs set by IFRS, in order to better understand the development of the business and the financial status of the Inwido Group. Such KPIs should not, however, be considered a substitute for the KPIs required under IFRS. The alternative KPIs presented in this report are described below.

Income measures Calculation Purpose
Organic growth Net sales including acquired growth for the cur
rent period divided by net sales including pro
forma acquired growth during the corresponding
period in the preceding year. The change is ad
justed for exchange rate fluctuations by applying
the current period's exchange rates to pro forma
net sales during the corresponding period in the
preceding year.
Organic growth excludes the effects of changes in
the Group's structure and exchange rates, ena
bling a comparison of net sales over time.
Operating gross profit Gross profit before items affecting comparability. This KPI is used to measure how much of net sales
is left to cover other expenses. The KPI is also ad
justed for the impact of items affecting compara
bility to increase comparability over time.
Operating EBITDA EBITDA before items affecting comparability. This KPI is used to measure cash flow from operat
ing activities, regardless of the effects of financing
and depreciation rates on non-current assets. The
KPI is also adjusted for the impact of items affect
ing comparability to increase comparability over
time. The KPI is a central component in the bank
covenant Net debt/operating EBITDA.
EBITA Operating profit after depreciation, amortization
and impairment but before deduction for impair
ment of goodwill as well as amortization and im
pairment of other intangible assets that arose in
conjunction with company acquisitions (Earnings
Before Interest, Tax and Amortization).
This KPI enables comparisons of profitability over
time regardless of amortization and impairment of
acquisition-related intangible assets, and regard
less of the corporate tax rate and the company's
financing structure. Depreciation of tangible assets
is, however, included, this being a measure of re
source consumption necessary to generate profit.
Operating EBITA EBITA before items affecting comparability. This KPI increases the comparability of EBITA over
time, since it is adjusted for the impact of items af
fecting comparability. The KPI is also used in inter
nal review and constitutes a central financial tar
get for the operations.
Items affecting comparability Income statement items that are non-recurring,
have a significant impact on profit and are im
portant for understanding the underlying devel
opment of operations.
A separate account of items affecting comparabil
ity elucidates development in the underlying oper
ations.
Margin measures Calculation Purpose
Operating gross margin Operating gross profit as a percentage of net
sales.
This KPI is a complement to operating margin
since it shows the underlying surplus from net
sales left to cover other expenses in relation to net
sales.

Operating EBITDA margin Operating EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. This KPI serves as a complement to operating mar
gin, since it shows the underlying surplus cash
flow in relation to net sales. The KPI also enables
comparison with other companies, regardless of
each company's depreciation/amortization princi
ples and the age structure of non-current assets.
EBITA margin EBITA as a percentage of net sales. This KPI reflects the operating profitability of the
operations before amortization and impairment of
acquisition-related intangible assets. The KPI is an
important component, alongside sales growth and
capital turnover rate, in tracking the company's
value creation.
Operating EBITA margin Operating EBITA as a percentage of net sales. This KPI increases the comparability of EBITA mar
gin over time, since it is adjusted for the impact of
items affecting comparability.
Operating margin
(EBIT margin)
Operating profit as a percentage of net sales. This KPI reflects the operating profitability of the
operations. The KPI is an important component,
alongside sales growth and capital turnover rate,
in tracking the company's value creation.
Capital structure Calculation Purpose
Net debt Interest-bearing liabilities and interest-bearing
provisions less interest-bearing assets, including
cash and equivalents.
The net debt measure is used to track the devel
opment of debt and to see the scope of the refi
nancing requirement. Since liquid funds can be
used to pay off debt at short notice, net debt is
used instead of gross debt as a measure of total
loan financing.
Net debt/operating EBITDA Net debt in relation to pro forma operating roll
ing 12-month EBITDA.
This KPI is a debt ratio showing how many years it
would take to pay off the company's liabilities,
provided that its net debt and EBITDA are constant
and without taking cash flows relating to interest,
taxes and investments into account.
Net debt/equity ratio Net debt in relation to shareholders' equity. This KPI is a measure of the relationship between
the Group's two forms of financing. The measure
shows loan capital as a share of shareholders' in
vested capital. The measure reflects financial
strength but also the leverage effect of borrow
ings. A higher debt ratio entails higher financial
risk and higher financial leverage.
Interest coverage ratio Profit after net financial items plus financial ex
penses in relation to financial expenses.
This KPI indicates the company's capacity to cover
its interest expenses.
Equity/assets ratio Shareholders' equity including non-controlling in
terests as a percentage of total assets.
This KPI reflects the company's financial position.
A favorable equity/assets ratio provides a prepar
edness to manage periods of recession and finan
cial preparedness for growth. At the same time, a
higher equity/assets ratio provides lower financial
leverage.
Operating capital Total assets less cash and equivalents, other in
terest-bearing assets and non-interest-bearing
provisions and liabilities.
Operating capital shows the amount of capital that
the business requires to conduct its core opera
tions. It is primarily used for the calculation of re
turn on operating capital.

<-- PDF CHUNK SEPARATOR -->

Return measures Calculation Purpose
Return on shareholders' equity Profit after tax, rolling 12-month (RTM), attribut
able to the Parent Company's shareholders as
a percentage of average shareholders' equity,
excluding non-controlling interest (average cal
culated based on the past four quarters).
Return on shareholders' equity shows the total re
turn, in accounting terms, on shareholders' capital
and reflects the effects of both the profitability of
the operations and of financial leverage. The
measure is primarily used to analyze profitability
for shareholders over time.
Return on operating
capital
EBITA, pro forma, rolling 12-month (RTM), as a
percentage of average operating capital (average
calculated based on the past four quarters).
Return on operating capital shows how well the
operations use the net capital tied up in the oper
ations. This reflects the combined effect of the op
erating margin and the turnover rate for operating
capital. The KPI is mainly used to track the Group's
value creation over time.
Share data Calculation Purpose
Cash flow per share before/
after dilution
Cash flow from operating activities divided by
the weighted average number of shares out
standing for the period before/after dilution.
This KPI measures the cash flow per share gener
ated by the operations before capital investments
and cash flows attributable to the company's fi
nancing.
Shareholders' equity per share
before/
after dilution
Shareholders' equity attributable to Parent Com
pany shareholders divided by the number of
shares outstanding at the end of the period be
fore/after dilution.
This key performance indicator serves to describe
the scale of the company's net worth per share.
