As a consequence of the sale of ewe and Bribus in March 2024, the income statement for 2023 was restated with the sold entities reported as "discontinued operations". Furthermore, the Group's reported segments have also been adjusted to reflect the divestures. Going forward the Group will report two segments: the Nordic region and the UK region. 2023 has been recalculated to enable comparability.
Earnings per share have been recalculated according to IAS 33, as a consequence of the rights issue.
The kitchen market remained weak in the third quarter primarily due to decline in the project market across all regions. Consumer market showed signs of recovery with most of our brands experiencing an increase in design appointments and improving quote banks from consumers.
Net sales for the Group declined organically by -6%, with flat sales in the UK and a decrease of -11% in the Nordics. While consumer sales grew, project sales were down double digit. The Group's gross margin improved to 37.4% (36.6%), excl. items affecting comparability, due to efficiency improvements and the higher share of consumer sales. Sales and administrative costs decreased by -6% as our cost-out programs continued to generate savings. Operating profit came in at SEK 19m (18), excl. items affecting comparability.
During the quarter, a major reorganization aimed at decentralizing responsibilities was completed. This new structure is designed to strengthen local accountability, enhance agility, and enable faster, more customer-focused decision-making.
We continue to align our operations with current market conditions. Since the beginning of 2023, we have delivered savings of approximately SEK 400m and recently initiated additional cost-savings of nearly SEK 300m, of which SEK 85m relate to the reorganization. The majority of the savings will be materialized by mid 2025. We remain committed to further reducing costs until we see a stable market recovery. In the UK, we are also evaluating additional cost-saving measures to strengthen current profitability and support the transition to an assetlight operating model.
Net sales for the Nordics declined by -11% on the back of a soft project market, whilst consumer sales increased. We are pleased that the Nordics managed to improve both margins and earnings in this challenging market environment, and especially HTH in Denmark had a promising quarter. This was mainly a result of disciplined cost reductions, efficiency improvements in the supply chain and the more favorable customer mix with a higher share of consumer sales. We expect the project sales to be soft and will therefore continue to apply strict cost discipline and redistribute resources toward the consumer segment.
Total net sales in the UK remained flat compared to last year, despite a substantial decline in volume due

to weaker trade and project sales. Growth in consumer sales was not enough to compensate for the loss in volume, which resulted in under absorption in our supply chain. Gross margin fell in the quarter due to lower volumes and lower average order values in the consumer channel. To improve gross margins, we are adjusting our product offering to strengthen average order values. The cost reduction initiatives implemented earlier in the year generated savings according to plan.
Significant effort has been dedicated to transitioning our UK business to an asset-light model. We have now managed to step out of unprofitable project business, reduced our manufacturing sites from 5 to 2 and closed about 15% of the store network. Whilst a lot has been done we still have more to do and are evaluating additional actions, including a further review of the store network.
The construction of our new state-of-the-art factory in Jönköping is progressing as planned. We are manufacturing flatpack cabinets for customers across the Nordic region and progressing towards industrialization of full kitchen assembly and frontal manufacturing, with promising results in design, sustainability and durability. Production of Marbodal kitchens will ramp up gradually in Jönköping during 2025, starting in January as planned.
We are advancing with our strategic agenda by gradually ramping up operations in Jönköping, executing our UK turnaround plan and expanding cost-saving initiatives. Given the ongoing market challenges, we are also intensifying our efforts to enhance operational excellence within our new organizational structure including a strong focus on cash generative activities, with encouraging signs of progress already emerging.
Kristoffer Ljungfelt President & CEO
Comments and numbers relate to continuing operations, unless otherwise stated.
Soft market conditions persist in both the Nordic and UK regions. Demand in the consumer segment is showing signs of improvement, supported by a rise in consumer confidence driven by decreasing inflation and declining interest rates, which encourage consumers to purchase capital goods like new kitchens. The project market remains challenging as new housing construction activity remains at low levels across all markets.
The Group's net sales decreased to SEK 2,478m (2,697) with an organic decline of -6% (-19). The Nordic region declined organically by -11% (-22) while the UK region's organic sales development was flat (-17).
The gross margin for the Group was 36.2% (36.6). Excluding items affecting comparability, the gross margin increased to 37.4% (36.6). Operating profit amounted to SEK -37m (99). Excluding items affecting comparability of SEK -56m (81) attributable mainly to restructuring measures and factory transition costs, operating profit was SEK 19m (18). Cost reductions, lower direct material prices and favourable mix had a positive impact, offset by impact from the lower sales volume, higher cost of sales in the UK and overlapping supply chain costs
while transferring production from Tidaholm to the new Jönköping factory. Changes in exchange rates negatively impacted operating profit by approximately SEK -20m.
Operating cash flow, total operations, amounted to SEK -154m (-305). Cash flow from operating activities decreased mainly due to the lower operating income including items affecting comparability. Investments in fixed assets decreased to SEK -138m (-484) as the factory construction in Jönköping is approaching completion. Net debt excl. IFRS16 leases and pensions amounted to SEK 2,320m (3,039).

Comments and numbers relate to continuing operations, unless otherwise stated. Following the sale of Bribus and ewe in the first quarter 2024, Portfolio Business Units was dissolved, and the Group reports two segments going forward; the Nordic and UK regions. Bribus and ewe are reported as discontinued operations in 2024 and 2023.
Net sales in the Nordic region decreased to SEK 1,283m (1,490). Sales declined organically by -11% (-22), driven by decline in the project segment.
The gross margin improved to 34.4% (33.0) and the gross profit was SEK 441m (491). Excluding items affecting comparability, the gross margin increased to 36.6% (33.0) and the gross profit was SEK 469m (491).
Operating profit amounted to SEK 61m (65). Excluding items affecting comparability, operating profit increased to SEK 104m (92) with a corresponding operating margin of 8.1% (6.2). Operating profit includes items affecting comparability of SEK -43m (-27) referring to cost for transitioning from the Tidaholm factory to the new factory in Jönköping, and charges for new cost reduction measures. Operating profit was supported mainly by cost reductions and lower material prices, offset by impact from the lower sales volume and overlapping supply chain costs while transferring production from Tidaholm to the new Jönköping factory. Changes in exchange rates impacted operating profit negatively by SEK -30m.
Net sales in the UK region amounted to SEK 1,195m (1,208). Sales were unchanged (-17) on an organic basis, primarily due to higher consumer dispatchments as a result of the strong winter sales campaign.
The gross margin amounted to 38.0% (39.5) and gross profit was SEK 454m (477). Excluding items affecting comparability, the gross profit was SEK 454m (479) and the gross margin was 38.0% (39.7).
Operating profit amounted SEK -58m (65). The quarter includes items affecting comparability of SEK -9m (108) related to further cost reduction measures. Prior year included a capital gain of SEK 112m from the sale of the Dewsbury factory. Excluding items affecting comparability, operating profit was SEK -49m (-43). Operating profit was positively impacted by mix as consumer sales increased while project sales decreased, offset by the level of cost of sales. Changes in exchange rates impacted operating profit positively by SEK 10m.


The Group's net sales for the first nine months decreased to SEK 8,026m (9,030) with an organic decline of -11% (-14). The Nordic region declined organically by -17% (-15) and the UK region by -3% (-13).
The gross margin increased to 36.1% (35.1) and gross profit was SEK 2,900m (3,173). Excluding items affecting comparability, the gross margin increased to 38.1% (36.4) and the gross profit was 3,056 (3,289). Operating profit amounted to SEK -252m (-133). Items affecting comparability amounted to SEK -286m (-239), mainly referring to cost for restructuring measures and factory transition costs. Excluding items affecting comparability, operating profit amounted to SEK 34m (106), corresponding to a margin of 0.4% (1.2). Cost reductions, mix and lower material prices impacted positively, offset by adverse impact from the lower sales volume, the cost of sales and overlapping supply chain costs while transferring production from Tidaholm to the new Jönköping factory. Changes in exchange rates negatively impacted Group operating profit by SEK -70m.
| Operating cash flow for the first nine months was SEK -790m (-621) due to unfavourable |
|---|
| working capital development, investments in the Jönköping factory and a negative operating |
| profit. |
The rights issue completed in April raised SEK 1,212m net after transaction costs and the sale of non-core assets and the sale and leaseback-transaction had a total positive cashflow impact of SEK 1,394m.

Nobia has long-term financing of SEK 3,450 million with maturity in June 2027. At end of September 2024, SEK 2,550m of the facility was utilised. Terms and conditions for the financing include minimum liquidity and adjusted consolidated EBITDA (excluding IFRS 16 impact) covenants. As of 2025, covenants will be expanded to also include a leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio.
Group cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 129m (330). Cash is kept at a low level in order to minimize utilization of the long-term financing and thus decrease the interest costs. Net debt, excluding IFRS 16 lease liabilities and pensions, amounted to SEK 2,320m (3,039). IFRS 16 lease liabilities were SEK 2,438m (1,688) and pension provisions amounted to SEK 256m (410). The lease liabilities increased due to the sale and leaseback transaction of the Jönköping factory property in February. The net debt/equity ratio, excluding IFRS 16 lease liabilities and pensions, was 43% (65).
Net financial items amounted to SEK -67m (-80), of which net of returns on pension assets and interest expense on pension liabilities was SEK -4m (-6), interest on leases was SEK -35m (-13) and other net interest expense was SEK -28m (-61). Other net interest expense was impacted by SEK 37m in the third quarter, relating to capitalization of interest expenses according to IAS 23.
Nobia has taken several measures to strengthen its financial position during 2024; the sale and leaseback transaction of the Jönköping factory property in February, the sale of non-core assets ewe in Austria and Bribus in the Netherlands which were finalized in March, a rights issue and an amendment and extension of the Group's long-term credit facilities completed in April.
The three divestures had a total net cash flow impact of SEK 1,396m in the first quarter and the rights issue had a total net cash flow impact of SEK 1,212m in the second quarter. A withheld amount of around SEK 310m from the sale and leaseback transaction remains to be paid to Nobia according to certain conditions up until the final completion of the property.
The need to strengthen the financial position was the result of the investments needed to complete the strategically important Jönköping factory coinciding with the challenging macro-economic environment resulting in significantly weaker markets. The Group's investment level will continue to be high in 2024 as the Jönköping factory is being finalised.
On February 20, the Board of Directors of Nobia resolved on a fully guaranteed rights issue of new shares with preferential rights for existing shareholders, and also announced an agreement with its lenders regarding an amendment and extension of the Nobia's revolving credit facilities. The purpose of the rights Issue was to finance remaining investments for the Jönköping factory and to strengthen the balance sheet allowing for operational and financial flexibility. The resolution was approved by the Extra General Meeting on March 26. The rights issue was fully subscribed and finalized at the end of April, without any utilization of guarantee undertakings. Total proceeds amounted to approximately SEK 1,262m prior to deduction of issue costs of approximately SEK 50m, incl. fee for guarantee undertakings. In addition, there were costs of approximately SEK 75m attributable to the renegotiation of the credit facilities agreement. The Group's credit facilities were partly repaid down to SEK 3,450m and the maturity was extended to June 2027.
The number of shares and votes in Nobia AB (publ) has changed as a result of the rights issue. Prior to the rights issue, there were in total 170,293,458 shares in Nobia. The number of shares increased by 504,758,463 as a result of the rights issue. As of 30 September 2024, there are in total 675,051,921 outstanding shares in Nobia. One share equals one vote, before and after the rights issue. Nobia holds 2,040,637 shares in treasury.
Installation, commissioning and testing of production machines continue to run according to plan. Manufacturing of kitchen cabinet components for assembly in the Tidaholm factory as well as flat-pack kitchen cabinets for customers has started and volumes are steadily increasing. Commissioning and remaining machinery installations will continue until the factory has full manufacturing capability for complete kitchens at the end of 2024.
Up until September 2024, a total of approximately SEK 3,400m has been invested as capex in the new factory. The estimated remaining capex until the completion of the factory is approximately SEK 450m and the estimated remaining cash outflow is around SEK 680m.
A new organizational structure was introduced on September 15th. The aim is to create a decentralised organization with resources, empowerment and accountability belonging to the operating entities. Each entity head is a member of the Group Executive Committee. The Group's external segment reporting will not be affected by these changes.
• Magnet (Operations in the UK, incl. Magnet, Gower, Commodore and the UK supply chain) led by George Dymond.
In addition to the operating entities, Nobia will have three support functions, where the respective head is a member of the Executive Committee:
Cecilia Forzelius, Head of People & Culture and member of the Executive Committee, decided to leave Nobia and left the Group on October 31.
As a consequence of the introduction of the new organization in September, approx. 80 positions became redundant. The cost for these redundancies amounted to SEK -25m (recorded as items affecting comparability). The associated cost reductions will amount to around SEK 85m and will be realized
gradually with full effect as of end of the third quarter 2025. Around 70 per cent of the savings are attributable to the Nordic region.
In the second quarter, measures to reduce cost were taken with the aim to generate annualized cost reductions of approximately SEK 200m. The total cost (recorded as items affecting comparability in the second quarter 2024) for the measures amounted to SEK 196m (of which SEK 60m were non-cash items). Measures in the UK included closure of certain underperforming stores and further consolidation of the factory network at a cost of SEK 180m with expected annualized savings of SEK 160m. The savings will be gradually realized and reach full effect in the second quarter 2025. In the Nordic region, measures included reduction of indirect staff and external warehousing in the supply chain. Annual savings will amount to around SEK 38m as of 2025 and the cost was SEK 16m.
The third quarter 2024 includes items affecting comparability of SEK -56m (81) related to the staff reductions in September 2024 as described above under "Cost reduction measures", and the transition of manufacturing from Tidaholm to the new plant in Jönköping.
The second quarter 2024 includes items affecting comparability of SEK -213m (-22), attributable mainly to the cost reduction measures described above under "Cost reduction measures", as well as factory transition cost.
The first quarter 2024 includes items affecting comparability of SEK -17m (-298), referring to costs for transition to the new factory in Jönköping. The first quarter prior year included SEK -298m of items affecting comparability related the cost reduction program launched early in 2023, impairments and writedowns as well as some factory transition cost.
Items affecting comparability are also specified on page 17.
Nobia applies IAS 23, as such capitalized interest for the third quarter 2024 amounts to SEK 37m and for January-September 2024 SEK 111m. Interest expenses in net financial items totaling SEK 64m (SEK 34m for the first quarter and SEK 30m for the second quarter) have been reversed and instead increased tangible assets in the balance sheet with a corresponding amount. The change does not affect operating profit or EBITDA. Profit after tax for the first half year 2024 has been adjusted by SEK 51m, of which SEK 27m in the first quarter and SEK 24m in the second quarter.
Financial risks refer primarily to currency exchange rates, interest rates, financing, tax and credit risks. In the ordinary course of business, the Group is exposed to legal risks such as commercial, product liability and other disputes and provides for them as appropriate. A general economic downturn, cyber threats, a widespread financial crisis or other macroeconomic disturbances may, directly or indirectly, affect the Group negatively both in terms of revenues and profitability. The macroeconomic uncertainty, with for example a very low level of housing construction, continues to negatively affect the Group's market environment. Cost reduction activities and manufacturing capacity adjustments have been implemented and the Group is continuously assessing if further measures need to be taken given the market development. Taking into account the investments needed to complete the new factory in Jönköping in combination with the weak market and the consequently challenging cash flow generation, the Group is closely monitoring its financing situation.
For a more detailed description of Nobia's risks and uncertainties, as well as risk management, refer to the 2023 Annual Report.

Nobia AB (publ.) reg. no. 556528-2752
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Nobia AB (publ.) as of 30 September 2024 and the nine-month period then ended. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying 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 other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
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 Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IFRS, with the application of IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. For the Parent Company, accounting policies are applied in accordance with Chapter 9, Interim Reports, of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Nobia has applied the same accounting policies in this interim report as were applied in the 2023 Annual Report. A description of new accounting policies in their entirety is provided in the 2023 Annual Report.
Segment information pages 4 and 5. Loan and shareholder's equity transactions, page 7. Items affecting comparability, page 17. Net sales by product group, page 18.
Nobia's financial assets essentially comprise non-interest-bearing and interest-bearing receivables whereby cash flows only represent payment for the initial investment and, where applicable, for the time value and interest. These are intended to be held to maturity and are recognised at amortised cost, which is a reasonable approximation of fair value.
Financial liabilities are primarily recognised at amortised cost. Financial instruments measured at fair value in the balance sheet are currency forward contracts comprised of assets at a value of SEK 8m (25) and liabilities at a value of SEK -19m (-29). These items are measured according to level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, meaning based on indirect observable market data. Nobia's financial instruments are measured at fair value and included in the balance sheet on the rows "Other receivables" and "Current liabilities".
There is no sale and manufacturing of kitchens in the Parent Company. The Parent Company invoiced Group-wide services to subsidiaries in an amount of SEK 82m (121) during the third quarter of 2024. The Parent Company's reported dividends from participations in Group companies totalled SEK 0m (0).
Goodwill is the difference between the acquisition value and the group's share of the fair value of an acquired subsidiary's identifiable assets and liabilities on the acquisition date. At each closing date, the company makes an assessment if there is any indication that the value of goodwill is lower than the reported value. If there is such an indication, the company calculates the recovery value for goodwill and prepares an impairment test. The cash generating unit (CGU) Region UK is sensitive to high interest rates, market decline and progress of strategic plan. Nobia management deems there to be no impairment but
the UK turn around plan is being reviewed on a regular basis. It is not precluded that reasonable changes in key assumptions could lead to an impairment.

Comments and numbers relate to continuing operations, unless otherwise stated. Nobia presents certain financial performance measures in the interim report that are not defined according to IFRS, known as alternative performance measures. Nobia believes that these measures provide valuable complementary information to investors and the company's management since they facilitate assessments of trends and the company's performance. Because not all companies calculate performance measures in the same way, these are not always comparable with measures used by other companies. Consequently, the performance measures are not to be seen as replacements for measures defined according to IFRS. For definitions of the measures that Nobia uses, see pages 23-24.

| Performance | ||
|---|---|---|
| measure | Calculation | Purpose |
| Return on shareholders' equity | Net profit for the period as a percentage of average shareholders' equity attributable to Parent Company shareholders based on opening and closing balances for the period. The calculation of average shareholders' equity has been adjusted for increases and decreases in capital. |
Return on shareholders' equity shows the total return on shareholders' capital in accounting terms and reflects the effects of both the operational profitability and financial gearing. The measure is primarily used to analyse shareholder profitability over time. |
| Return on operating capital | Operating profit as a percentage of average operating capital based on opening and closing balances for the period excl. net assets attributable to discontinued operations. The calculation of average operating capital has been adjusted for acquisitions and divestments. |
Return on operating capital shows how well the operations use net capital that is tied up in the company. It reflects how both cost and capital-efficient net sales are generated, meaning the combined effect of the operating margin and the turnover rate of operating capital. The measure is used in profitability comparisons between operations in the Group and to assess the Group's profitability over time. |
| Gross margin | Gross profit as a percentage of sales. | This measure reflects the efficiency of the part of the operations that is primarily linked to production and logistics. It is used to measure cost efficiency in this part of the operations. |
| EBITDA | Earnings before depreciation/amortisation and impairment. |
To simplify, the measure shows the earnings generating cash flow in the operations. It provides a view of the ability of the operations, in absolute terms, to generate resources for investment and payment to financers. |
| EBITDA-margin | Earnings before depreciation/ amortisation and impairment in relation to net sales, % |
|
| Items affecting comparability (IAC) |
Items that affect comparability in so far as they do not reoccur with the same regularity as other items - for example costs for restructuring and for material one offs relating to sale and impairments of assets. |
Reporting items affecting comparability separately clearly shows the performance of the underlying operations. |
| Net debt | Interest-bearing liabilities less interest-bearing assets. Interest-bearing liabilities include provisions for pensions and leases. |
Net debt is a liquidity metric used to determine how well a company can pay all of its debts, pension liabilities and leasing obligations if they were due immediately. The measure is used as a component in the debt/equity ratio. |
| Operating capital | Capital employed excl. interest-bearing assets. | Operating capital shows the amount of capital required by the operations to conduct its core operations. It is mainly used to calculate the return on operating capital. |
| Operating cash flow | Cash flow from operating activities including cash flow from investing activities, excl. cash flow from acquisitions/divestments of operations, interest received, and increase/decrease in interest bearing assets. |
This measure comprises the cash flow generated by the underlying operations. The measure is used to show the amount of funds at the company's disposal for paying financers of loans and equity or for use in growth through acquisitions. |
| measure | Calculation | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Organic growth | Change in net sales, excl. acquisitions, divestments and changes in exchange rates. |
Organic growth facilitates a comparison of sales over time by comparing the same operations and excl. currency effects. |
| Region | Region corresponds to an operating segment under IFRS 8. |
|
| Earnings per share | Profit after tax for the period divided by a weighted average number of outstanding shares (net of treasury shares) during the period. |
Earnings per share is a common profitability measure that is used for valuation of the company's total outstanding shares. |
| Earnings per share after dilution |
Earnings per share, adjusted for dilutive effect from any potential ordinary shares attributable to outstanding performance share programs. |
|
| Operating margin | Operating profit as a percentage of net sales. | This measure reflects the operating profitability of the operations. It is used to monitor the flexibility and efficiency of the operations before taking into account capital tied up. The performance measure is used both internally in governance and monitoring of the operation, and for benchmarking with other companies in the industry. |
| Debt/equity ratio | Net debt as a percentage of shareholders' equity including non-controlling interests. |
A measure of the ratio between the Group's two forms of financing. The measure shows the percentage of the loan capital in relation to capital invested by the owners, and is thus a measure of financial strength but also the gearing effect of lending. A higher debt/equity ratio means a higher financial risk and higher financial gearing. |
| Equity/assets | Shareholders' equity including non-controlling interests as a percentage of balance-sheet total. |
This measure reflects the financial position and thus the long-term solvency. A healthy equity ratio/strong financial position provides preparedness for managing periods of economic downturn and financial preparedness for growth. It also provides a minor advantage in the form of financial gearing. |
| Capital employed | Balance-sheet total less non-interest-bearing provisions and liabilities. |
