ADDTECH AB (PUBL.) YEAR-END REPORT 1 APRIL 2021 - 31 MARCH 2022


CEO'S COMMENTS

Addtech can sum up another successful year in which we clearly continued to deliver on our vision of being a leader in technical solutions for a sustainable future. The year has been marked by a strong recovery in market activity and demand for sustainable technical solutions. Over the year, our strong position in strategically chosen segments generated organic growth of 15 percent, while we also carried out thirteen carefully selected acquisitions. Thanks to our companies' extraordinary performance, the operating margin was strengthened to a record 12.8 (11.0) percent. The strength of our culture, with its focus on entrepreneurship, manifested itself.

FOURTH QUARTER

All business areas delivered a very strong end to the financial year. During the quarter, the positive trend with a high level of customer activity and good underlying demand across the board continued. Despite many of our companies being affected by the global supply chain disruptions, we maintained good delivery capacity, which resulted in sales increasing by 34 percent in total, of which as much as 24 percent was organic. The strong growth in all business areas is a function of well-established customer and supplier relationships, where our companies have dealt with the challenges excellently. Active efforts to offset price increases and generally good cost control has resulted in high operating margins and EBITA growth of 54 percent for the quarter.

As a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, our business relations with companies in Russia and Belarus have been halted. Our exposure to these countries, on both the customer and supplier sides, is limited and the total effect on net sales during the fourth quarter was marginal. Our thoughts and undivided sympathies go to the Ukrainian people and all those affected by the war.

FULL YEAR

Recent years' increased focus on sustainable technical solutions, combined with a high acquisition rate, has afforded us strong positions in selected niches, both in the Nordic region and internationally. Over the autumn, we further fine-tuned the organization to strengthen the network between the companies, thereby fostering conditions to derive optimum benefit from future growth opportunities.

Sequentially increasing customer activity in combination with a lower cost base resulted in a sales increase of 24 percent and high EBITA growth of 44 percent, with strong contributions by all business areas. Despite increased inventory and higher accounts receivable due to sales growth in many companies, P/WC strengthened and landed at a historically high 69 percent.

The market situation clearly strengthened over the year in most of our key customer segments. Sales of input components to manufacturing companies in special vehicles, as well as in the medical and mechanical industries have developed well and the market situation has developed very strongly in the forest and process industries, and particularly the willingness to invest in the sawmill industry. In other important segments, such as electronics, electricity-related products for construction and installation customers, as well as in waste and recycling, the business situation has been favourable. In wind power, demand remained stable until the final quarter of the financial year when we saw the market slow down to a certain extent. The major infrastructure investments required to meet increased energy needs generated continued favourable demand for our companies active in the expansion of regional and national grids.

Geographically, the Nordic markets developed strongly over the year as a whole. Norway was slightly weaker than the other Nordic countries, mainly due to a continued low willingness to invest in oil and gas. Our major markets beyond the Nordic region, DACH and the UK in particular, strengthened over the year, providing favourable conditions for our companies operating in these markets.

ADDTECH AB (PUBL.) YEAR-END REPORT 1 APRIL 2021 – 31 MARCH 2022


ACQUISITIONS

Acquiring carefully selected companies that complement and strengthen our niche strategies is an important part of our business model. Our acquisition rate remained high and we conclude the financial year having completed thirteen acquisitions, followed by another four after the end of the year. In total, these seventeen acquisitions have added approximately SEK 1,650 million in sales and 486 new employees to the group.

In line with our strategy, the proportion of acquisitions outside the Nordic region has increased, as have our acquisitions of companies with a clear sustainability profile. A crucial parameter in all of our acquisitions is the cultural match, as this is a key element in our decentralized responsibility structure and also fosters conditions for various forms of collaboration in the networks that our business units form. It is this strong culture, with a focus on entrepreneurship and networking, that continues to attract many privately owned companies to become part of Addtech. An attractive acquisition pipeline, combined with our strong balance sheet, means that we perceive favourable opportunities for continuing to maintain a good acquisition rate in the future.

OUTLOOK

Despite the fourth quarter's historically high level of invoicing, we are entering the new financial year with strong order books and currently have continued stable demand. With our sharpened niche strategies, we are well positioned in structurally driven areas of development, such as the transition to renewable energy sources and the ongoing and increasing process of electrification. We retain, nonetheless, a respectful view regarding the uncertainty associated with continued supply chain disruption, rising inflation and how the ongoing war in Ukraine may change market conditions. However, I firmly believe that the strength of our decentralised model will once again enable us to act accordingly.

In conclusion, I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude to all of our committed employees whose excellent handling of the challenges made it possible to meet the high level of customer demand over the year. I look forward with great confidence to a new financial year continuing to build long-term and sustainable value.

In conclusion, I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude to all of our committed employees whose excellent handling of the challenges made it possible to meet the high level of customer demand over the year. Again, it is our decentralised model, in which decisions are made close to customers and suppliers, that makes the difference. I look forward with great confidence to a new financial year continuing to build long-term and sustainable value.

ADDTECH AB (PUBL.) YEAR-END REPORT 1 APRIL 2021 – 31 MARCH 2022


If all acquisitions which have taken effect during the financial year had been completed on 1 April 2021, their impact would have been an estimated SEK 1,500 million on Group net sales, about SEK 155 million on operating profit and about SEK 120 million on profit after tax for the period.

Addtech normally employs an acquisition structure comprising basic purchase consideration and contingent consideration. The outcome of contingent purchase considerations is determined by the future earnings reached by the companies and is subject to a fixed maximum level. Of considerations not yet paid for acquisitions during the financial year, the discounted value amounts to SEK 177 million. The contingent purchase considerations fall due for payment within three years and the outcome is subject to a maximum of SEK 207 million.

Transaction costs for acquisitions that resulted in an ownership transfer during the financial year, amounted to SEK 10 million (12) and are reported under Selling expenses.

Revaluation of contingent consideration had a positive net effect of SEK 8 million (-9) during the financial year. The impact on profits are reported under Other operating income and Other operating expenses, respectively.

According to the preliminary acquisitions analyses, the assets and liabilities included in the acquisitions were as follows, during the year:

OTHER DISCLOSURES

Accounting policies

The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU, with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting being applied. Apart from in the financial statements and their accompanying notes, disclosures in accordance with IAS 34.16A also appear in other parts of the interim report. The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and the Securities Market Act, which is in accordance with the provisions of RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.

In the interim report, the same accounting principles and bases of calculation have been applied as in the most recent annual report. The new and revised IFRS standards and IFRIC statements that come into force as of the 2021/2022 financial year have had no material effect on the Group's financial reports.

Governmental support measures

Those governmental support measures that have been received or will be received as an effect of the COVID-19 pandemic will be recognized in the income statement when it is reasonably certain that the conditions for receiving the support have been met or will be met. These grants are recognised under other operating income or as a reduction in personnel expenses.

Alternative performance measures

The Company presents certain financial measures in the interim report that are not defined according to IFRS. The Company believes that these measures provide valuable supplemental information to investors and the Company's management as they allow for evaluation of trends and the Company's performance. Since all companies do not calculate financial measures in the same way, they are not always comparable to measures used by other companies. These financial measures should therefore not be considered to be a replacement for measurements as defined under IFRS. For definitions and reconciliation tables of the performance measures that Addtech uses, please see page 23-26.

Risks and factors of uncertainty

Addtech's profit and financial position, as well as its strategic position, are affected by a number of internal factors under Addtech's control and by a number of external factors over which Addtech has limited influence. The most important risk factors for Addtech are the state of the economy, combined with structural change and the competitive situation.

Addtech has limited direct exposure to the countries involved in the conflict in Ukraine. One of our subsidiaries has a minor business in Russia where work is currently underway according to an orderly decommissioning plan. Addtech assess also the indirect effects as limited for the time being. Addtech is closely monitoring developments in the conflict and currently finds it difficult to assess the future effect of sanctions against Russia and the implications that the conflict could have on the economic situation in Europe.

Please see section Risks and uncertainties (page 58-60) in the annual report for 2020/2021 for further details.

The Parent Company is indirectly affected by the above risks and uncertainty factors due to its role in the organisation.

Transactions with related parties

No transactions between Addtech and related parties that have significantly affected the Group's or the parent company's position and it's earnings have taken place during the period.

Seasonal effects

Addtech's sales of high-tech products and solutions in the manufacturing industry and infrastructure are not subject to major seasonal variations. The number of production days and customers' demand and willingness to invest can vary over the quarters.

The annual report for 2021/2022 will be published on Addtech's website www.addtech.com in July 2022. A printed version will be distributed to the shareholders who request this.

REVIEW REPORT

INTRODUCTION

We have reviewed the summary interim financial information (year-end report) of Addtech AB (publ.), corp.ID 556302-9726, as of 31 March 2022 and the twelve-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and 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.

FOCUS AND SCOPE OF THE REVIEW

We conducted our 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 of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially smaller in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally accepted auditing standards. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that could have been identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed on the basis of a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed on the basis of an audit.

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, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

Return on equity measures the return generated on owners' invested capital.

Return on working capital (P/WC)¹

EBITA divided by working capital.

P/WC is used to analyse profitability and is a measure that encourages high EBITA and low working capital requirements, see the reconciliation table on page 26.

Return on capital employed¹

Profit after financial items plus financial expenses as a percentage of capital employed. The components are calculated as the average of the last 12 months.

Return on capital employed shows the Group's profitability in relation to externally financed capital and equity, see the reconciliation table on page 26.

EBITA¹

Operating profit before amortisation of intangible assets.

EBITA is used to analyse the profitability generated by operating activities, see reconciliation table on page 26.

This measures how much equity is attributable to each share and is published to make it easier for investors to conduct analyses and make decisions.

Financial net debt¹

The net of interest-bearing debt and provisions minus cash and cash equivalents.

Net debt is used to monitor changes in debt, analyse the Group's indebtedness and its ability to repay its debts using liquid funds generated from the Group's operating activities if all debt fell due for repayment today and any necessary refinancing.

Financial net debt/EBITDA¹

Net financial debt divided by EBITDA.

Net financial debt compared with EBITDA provides a performance measure for net debt in relation to cash-generating earnings in the business, i.e. it gives an indication of the business' ability to repay its debts. This measure is generally used by financial institutions to measure creditworthiness.

Profit after financial items¹

Profit/loss for the period before tax.

Used to analyse the business' profitability including financial activities.

Earnings per share (EPS)

Shareholders' share of profit for the period after tax, divided by the weighted average number of shares during the period.
