Alimak Group AB
Interim Report Q2 JANUARY–JUNE 2022

Comments by the CEO

During the quarter, we report strong growth of order intake of 37% and 24% organically. It is very pleasing to see that our initiatives to enhance growth are gaining traction and that we are leveraging on our strong global offering and market position. As an important part of driving profitable growth and delivering increased value to our stakeholders, we are now also ramping up our M&A activities. I am proud of the way the entire organization has worked together as a team to serve our customers and to continue to develop Alimak Group in a challenging business environment.

Group revenue grew by 13% and by 2% organically driven by Industrial, Construction and Facade Access. During the quarter, we continued to face supply chain challenges in components, which we have managed in a good way. Service revenues for the Group continued to show solid organic growth in the quarter, up 7% in line with our strategy.

Group earnings (EBITA) increased by 12% and we report an EBITA margin of 13.1% (13.2). During the quarter we continued to mitigate the effects of increased costs through active price management. Our investments in sales and R&D have increased, reflecting our focus on profitable growth.

Construction delivered strong order intake in the quarter, an increase of 19% organically. Order intake was driven by strong equipment sales, especially in the US, and with solid rental order intake in Europe. We continue to expand our product and services offering based on our connected assets and digitalisation strategy, with the ambition to accelerate growth and increasing our market shares. I am very glad to announce the acquisition of Tall Crane Equipment, which reflects our strategic goal of being close to our customers in the markets they operate. Tall Crane Equipment has been a loyal customer for many years, and the acquisition will position us well to grow our Group offering in Canada.

Industrial continued to deliver strong order intake growth, an increase of 24% organically, with solid Equipment sales in Americas and continued strong order intake in the Marine segment. Our investments in our sales organization and in the development of our customer and segment focused solutions are clearly having an effect. The division is in a positive trend of accelerated profitable growth.

Facade Access reported a very strong organic order intake of 57%, including a major standard equipment project in the Middle East as well as solid order intake in rest of Asia. The European market remains at a relatively good activity level, and we continue to see increased activity in the US. Our efforts to improve profitability in the division continues. Short term, we are still impacted by cost inflation and supply chain issues.

Wind reported a decrease in order intake of 15% organically. The Chinese market continues to be challenging also with delays in some projects affected by Covid-19 restrictions in Shanghai. However, I am pleased to see continued solid improvement in EBITA-margin for the division, driven by efficiency measures and price management. The strategic review of the Wind division is running in line with plan.

Executing on our strategic roadmap

The overall business environment is expected to remain challenging during the remainder of the year with supply chain disturbances, high-cost inflation, and macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty. We will continue to execute on the New Heights Programme to drive profitable growth. Our focus continues to be on serving our customers, developing our solutions portfolio, driving operational excellence, and accelerating our M&A activities. All in a safe and sustainable way.

Information regarding the situation in Ukraine

The war in Ukraine is a human tragedy and our thoughts and concerns are with all those affected by this horrible situation. Alimak Group is continuously monitoring the developments and implications this might have for the Group's employees, partners, customers and its operations.

The repurchase process was finalised January 7, 2022. In total 450,000 shares were repurchased according to the mandate of which 303,000 shares were repurchased in 2022.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

Acquisition of Tall Crane Equipment Ltd

On July 18, Alimak Group has entered into an agreement to acquire 100 % of the shares in Tall Crane Equipment Ltd. Tall Crane Equipment is a licensed elevator contractor, providing hoist and crane rentals, qualified licensed personnel, and repairs and maintenance on site and off site. The company, headquartered in Langley, British Columbia, Canada will become part of Alimak Group's Construction division. Including the addition of a wholly owned footprint in Canada, this acquisition creates opportunities to further expand both in Construction and in Permanent Industrial equipment including the Group's parts and services offerings.

The purchase price amounts to approximately MSEK 215 (MCAD 27) on a cash and debt-free basis. In addition to the fixed purchase price paid upon access, the seller may receive a condition-based additional purchase price (earn-out) of a maximum of approximately MSEK 105 (MCAD 13) based on fulfilment of certain development goals regarding sales and profit. Closing of the transaction is expected to take place during the third quarter 2022.

Tall Crane's revenue in the last yearly closing amounted to approximately MSEK 130 (MCAD 16) and will contribute positively to the Construction division's EBITA-margin.

Order intake increased by 78%, corresponding to an organic increase of 57%, to MSEK 416 (233). The increase was driven by stronger equipment order intake including a major standard equipment project in the Middle East as well as solid order intake in Asia. The European market remains at a relatively good activity level, and we continue to see improved activity in the US market. Service order intake continues to develop well, particularly in Europe.

Revenue increased by 24%, corresponding to an increase of 7% organically, to MSEK 313 (252). Stronger equipment and service revenues were recorded in Europe and US, with both regions delivering on their solid equipment and service backlog.

EBITA was flat at MSEK 6 (6), corresponding to a EBITA margin of 2.0% (2.5). EBITA was at the same level year-over-year, where inflationary cost increases were offset by higher volumes and higher service margins. We continue to work with suppliers and clients to mitigate cost increases.

Order intake increased by 35%, corresponding to an organic increase of 24%, to MSEK 334 (247). The increase was driven by both higher equipment and service sales globally. Equipment sales were solid in Americas, with particularly strong sales in the US. In Western Europe, order intake for traction elevators was strong, mainly due to the strong order intake trend for our Marine Elevator in the Marine segment. Our strategic focus and growth initiatives on the service side contributed to an increased order intake in parts and service sales globally.

Revenue increased by 56%, corresponding to an organic increase of 44%, to MSEK 294 (189). The increase was due to strong order intake in the previous quarters and our focus on service globally.

EBITA increased to MSEK 52 (35), corresponding to a margin of 17.7% (18.7). The sales activity has been high in the quarter with increased in person customer interaction. The strategic investment to accelerate growth is gaining traction and resulted in improved order intake.

Order intake decreased by 6% to MSEK 146 (156) in the quarter, corresponding to an organic decrease of 15%. The decrease was mainly due to a continued challenging Chinese market and with delays in some projects, affected by Covid-19 restrictions in Shanghai. Order intake increased in northern Europe.

Revenue decreased by 35% to MSEK 133 (207), corresponding to an organic decrease of 41%, mainly due to lower volumes in China, Spain and in the US. The year-on-year decrease in revenue from tower internals in the quarter was MSEK 23.

EBITA decreased to MSEK 19 (23), corresponding to a margin of 14.4% (11.1%). The increase was driven by measures to improve profitability, including exiting the non-profitable tower internals business, cost reductions in most areas, and active price management.

The strategic review of the Wind division, exploring future strategic alternatives for the division – including a potential divestment, is running according to plan.

Notes

NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This interim report was prepared in accordance with IFRS, applying IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The same accounting and valuation policies were applied as in the most recent annual report except for new and revised standards and interpretations effective from January 1, 2022. Non-IFRS measures are also presented in the report since they are considered to be important supplemental measures of the Alimak Group's performance. The definition of these can be found on the Group's homepage and a bridge from IFRS measures into non-IFRS measures is found on page 18 of this report.

Alimak Group AB is the Parent Company of Alimak Group. The Interim Report for the parent company has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and with the standard RFR 2 Reporting by a legal entity, issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board. The same accounting principles and methods of computation are followed in the interim financial statements as compared with the most recent annual report. Alimak Group AB is applying the exception from IFRS 16 allowed under RFR 2. Right-of-use assets or lease liabilities are not recognised.

A detailed description of the Group's risks and uncertainties can be found in the Annual report. There are no significant changes in risks since the Annual Report for 2021 was published March 18, 2022.

All items are stated in MSEK without decimals and, therefore, rounding differences can occur. Historic periods have been adjusted accordingly.
