PRESIDENT'S STATEMENT

A new start as an independent company

When the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders in our former Parent Company, B&B TOOLS AB, resolved on 14 June to spin-off and list Momentum Group as a separate company, we were presented with new opportunities to increase our earnings growth by establishing a clearer focus on the development of leading market channels in profitable niches – opportunities we are now working to fully realise. Our Class B share was introduced on Nasdaq Stockholm's Mid Cap List on 21 June.

Stable business situation despite fewer trading days

The business situation during the quarter was stable overall, despite the fact that the Easter holiday, which resulted in fewer trading days in April than in the preceding year, had a negative impact on revenue (corresponding to just over –5 percent in sales). However, sales in May and June were stronger than in the preceding year, which largely enabled us to offset the weaker sales in April. Overall, the manufacturing industry in Sweden and Finland continued to perform well, which is reflected in our financial statements, while the investment level in the oil and gas segment in Norway remained relatively low, although the bottom point has likely passed.

Several of our units improved their earnings during the quarter compared with the preceding year, and we are particularly pleased to note that TOOLS Sweden reported earnings growth of 30 percent and TOOLS Finland more than doubled its earnings. Momentum Industrial continued to deliver earnings with double-digit margins. However, TOOLS Norway's earnings were unsatisfactory, having been negatively impacted by the Easter holiday and the implementation of a new business system. The implementation is expected to be completed in the late autumn and will enable TOOLS Norway to take the next step in the development of its operations.

TOOLS Sweden's action programme proceeding according to plan – with positive results

TOOLS Sweden strengthened its earnings performance during the quarter, with sales remaining largely unchanged despite the closure of several sales units over the past six months. Eight additional sales units will be closed during the July-October period and TOOLS Sweden is now gradually increasing its share of direct purchases from selected suppliers. Towards the end of the operating year, we expect to experience the full effect of the previously announced measures we are now implementing in TOOLS Sweden.

2017/18 – an exciting operating year

Our transition toward decentralised responsibility for our own offering, purchasing and logistics is intended to contribute to the earnings trend – combined with acquisitions of attractive and successful niche companies. After the end of the reporting period, we signed an agreement to acquire 70 percent of the shares in TriffiQ Företagsprofilering, one of Stockholm's largest resellers of workwear, protective footwear and custom workwear, with a high level of expertise in customising company products. The acquisition of TriffiQ is in line with our strategy for future growth and development – and we are delighted to welcome the company to Momentum Group.

We are now truly standing on our own two feet. We will continue to prioritise customer proximity and the adaptation of our offerings, logistics and sales channels, both local and digital, which will contribute to improved operating margins in our operations. I look forward to continuing this exciting operating year for Momentum Group as an independent listed Company.

Stockholm, July 2017

President & CEO

PROFIT AND REVENUE

First quarter (1 April-30 June 2017)

Revenue for the first quarter increased by 1 percent to MSEK 1,400 (1,382). Exchange-rate translation effects had an impact of MSEK +23 on revenue. Revenue for comparable units, measured in local currency and adjusted for the number of trading days, rose by 2 percent during the quarter.

Operating profit for the quarter totalled MSEK 42 (53). Adjusted for items affecting comparability, operating profit totalled MSEK 52 (53). Items affecting comparability amounted to approximately MSEK –10 for the quarter and pertained to costs associated with the spin-off of Momentum Group from the B&B TOOLS Group and the Company's separate listing on Nasdaq Stockholm. Approximately MSEK 8 of the total restructuring reserve of MSEK 94, which was recognised in the annual accounts for 2016/17, was utilised during the quarter. Exchange-rate translation effects had a net impact of MSEK 0 (–1) on operating profit. The adjusted operating margin (excluding items affecting comparability) was 3.7 percent (3.8). Profit after financial items totalled MSEK 40 (51) and net profit amounted to MSEK 31 (40) for the quarter. This corresponded to earnings per share of SEK 1.10 (1.40).

OPERATIONS

The Momentum Group comprises two business areas – Tools & Consumables and Components & Services. Group-wide includes the Group's management, finance function, support functions (including internal communications, investor relations and legal affairs) and logistics operations in Sweden.

As a whole, Momentum Group's main markets displayed a stable trend during the first quarter of the financial year, despite the negative impact of the lower number of trading days in April due to the Easter holiday. The industrial markets in Sweden and Finland continued to perform well, which is expected to benefit the Group's operations in the future. In Norway, an improvement was noted in the domestic construction sector and the market for oil and offshore experienced a stabilisation.

Tools & Consumables business area

This business area comprises TOOLS Sweden, TOOLS Norway, TOOLS Finland and Mercus Yrkeskläder, which offer products and services related to tools and industrial consumables for the industrial and construction sectors in the Nordic region.

Revenue in the Tools & Consumables business area increased by 2 percent1 during the first quarter of the financial year. In addition, acquisitions contributed approximately 4 percent to revenue growth. Items affecting comparability in Tools & Consumables amounted to MSEK –5 during the quarter and mainly pertained to costs for the division of the logistics function and IT systems in conjunction with the spin-off from the B&B TOOLS Group. Of the approximately MSEK 8 of restructuring reserves utilised during the quarter, MSEK 1 referred to the Tools & Consumables business area.

Revenue for TOOLS Sweden rose by 2 percent1 during the quarter compared with the preceding year, with increased sales to major manufacturing companies having a positive impact on the trend. Since autumn 2016, the business has been implementing improvement measures designed to increase profitability, including a focus on a smaller number of selected product areas, measures to enhance the efficiency of the operations and the winding down of a number of less profitable units, combined with investments in competitive digital sales channels. Three sales units were closed during the quarter (a total of seven units since autumn 2016) and eight additional sales units will be closed by October 2017, at the same time as the share of direct purchases from selected suppliers will gradually increase. The increase in sales and the measures implemented had a positive impact on operating profit, which rose by 30 percent during the quarter compared with the preceding year.

Revenue for TOOLS Norway decreased by 7 percent1 during the quarter. Demand in the industrial sector was stable and the construction sector noted a positive trend. However, combined with the lower number of trading days in April due to the Easter holiday, lower sales to the oil and offshore sector and the performance of a small number of major customers resulted in lower earnings compared with the preceding year. TOOLS Norway is taking proactive measures to increase its sales in other sectors. The implementation of a new business system proceeded according to plan during the quarter.

TOOLS Finland increased its revenue by 16 percent1 during the quarter and continued to deliver a favourable sales trend in terms of large customers. A reduction in costs, systematic work with major industrial customers and a focus on the core range resulted in healthy volume expansion, which had a positive impact on the earnings trend. One sales unit was closed during spring 2017.

Revenue for Mercus Yrkeskläder was largely unchanged1 during the quarter. Revenue was impacted positively by the opening of a new store, while sales for comparable units were slightly lower than in the preceding year, which had a negative effect on the earnings trend. A strong economic trend in the construction sector combined with new establishments has a positive impact on sales over time.

Components & Services business area

This business area comprises Momentum Industrial and Gigant, which offer spare parts and service as well as workplace equipment for customers in the industrial sector in the Nordic region.

1 Comparable units, measured in local currency and adjusted for the number of trading days this year compared with the preceding year.

Revenue in the Components & Services business area increased by 2 percent2 during the first quarter of the financial year.

Momentum Industrial's revenue increased by 2 percent2 during the quarter. A number of new customer agreements were entered into during the quarter, and the development of sales of engineering services were favourable, including the newly acquired Arboga Machine Tool. The lower number of trading days due to the Easter holiday in April had a negative impact on earnings, while the unit's strong capacity utilisation in maintenance and repairs as well as its favourable range mix had a positive effect on the earnings trend.

Gigant's revenue rose by 1 percent2 during the quarter, with a continued increase in direct sales to the industrial and construction sectors. Demand via industrial resellers had a negative development in Norway and Sweden, while the Finnish market reported a positive trend. The Easter holiday resulted in a lower number of trading days in April compared with the preceding year, which had a negative impact also on Gigant's earnings.

Group-wide and eliminations

An operating loss of MSEK –3 (0) was reported for "Group-wide and eliminations" for the reporting period, of which items affecting comparability accounted for MSEK –5 (–). Items affecting comparability in "Group-wide" for the quarter pertained to costs associated with the spin-off of Momentum Group from the B&B TOOLS Group and the Company's separate listing on Nasdaq Stockholm. Of the approximately MSEK 8 of restructuring reserves utilised during the quarter, MSEK 7 referred to "Group-wide".

The Parent Company's revenue for the reporting period amounted to MSEK 7 (–) and the loss after financial items totalled MSEK –7 (–). These results do not include any Group contributions, intra-Group dividends or other corresponding items.

During the period, inventories increased by MSEK 23, in connection with the establishment of an own central warehouse, and operating receivables by MSEK 8. Operating liabilities decreased by MSEK 13. Accordingly, cash flow from operating activities for the period amounted to MSEK –8 (33).

Other than purchases of goods from companies in the Bergman & Beving Group (formerly B&B TOOLS), 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.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Momentum Group's earnings, financial position and strategic position are impacted by a number of internal factors that are within the control of Momentum Group as well as a number of external factors where the Group's ability to influence the course of events is limited. The most important external risk factors for Momentum Group are the economic and market situation as well as the development in terms of the number of employees in the industrial and construction sectors combined with structural changes and the competitive situation. The risk and uncertainties impacting the Group are the same as in earlier periods. For more information, refer to Note 8 in Momentum Group's Financial Report for 2016/17. The Parent Company is impacted indirectly by the above risks and uncertainties through its function in the Group.

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, disclosures in accordance with IAS 34.16A are also presented in other sections of the Interim 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 Momentum Group's Financial Report for 2016/17 have been applied. New and amended IFRS and IFRIC interpretations applicable as of the 2017/18 financial year have not had a material impact on the Group's financial reporting.

Momentum Group AB was registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office on 8 August 2016 and was dormant until September 2016. On 25 September 2016, Momentum Group AB acquired 12 operating companies (directly or indirectly) from B&B TOOLS Invest AB. The final stages of the structuring of Momentum Group involved the transfer of the logistics and warehousing operations within B&B TOOLS Business Infrastructure AB to Momentum Group Services AB through a conveyance of assets and liabilities in March 2017. Since the operations have not historically formed a group according the IFRS definition, there are no consolidated financial statements for the periods prior to March 2017. Accordingly, the historical information for the periods until 31 March 2017 has been prepared as combined financial statements for the reporting unit comprising Momentum Group AB and its associated subsidiaries.

PERFORMANCE MEASURES – DEFINITIONS AND CALCULATIONS

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 performance measures provide valuable information for the Company's management 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. Since not all listed companies calculate these financial performance measures ratios in the same way, there is no guarantee that the information is comparable with other companies' performance measures of the same name. Hence, these financial performance measures must not be viewed as a replacement for those measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. For definitions and information on the calculation of certain financial performance measures, refer to pages 14-16.

EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD

Acquisition of TriffiQ Företagsprofilering

In early July 2017, Momentum Group signed an agreement to acquire 70 percent of the shares in TriffiQ Företagsprofilering AB ("TriffiQ"). TriffiQ is a leading reseller of workwear and protective footwear in Stockholm. TriffiQ generates annual revenue of approximately MSEK 70 with favourable profitability and has some 20 employees. Closing is scheduled to take place in late August 2017 and the acquisition is expected to have a marginally positive effect on Momentum Group's earnings per share.

No other significant events affecting the Group have occurred after the end of the reporting period.

1) The Momentum Group has historically comprised the Momentum Group operating segment in the B&B TOOLS Group. However, some of the units that historically comprised part of the operating segment are not included in the Momentum Group. Net income that is included in the historical combined income statements but does not impact Momentum Group's total assets is recognised as a transaction with the owner. For the 2016/2017 financial year, net income from units not included in the Momentum Group amounted to MSEK 5.

2) On 25 September 2016, Momentum Group AB acquired 12 operating companies (directly and indirectly) from B&B TOOLS Invest AB. These internal acquisitions amounting to MSEK 615 were financed through a shareholders' contribution of MSEK 573 paid to Momentum Group AB by B&B TOOLS Invest AB and the remaining MSEK 42 through a loan raised via B&B TOOLS AB's internal bank. Since no net assets arose in the combined financial statements, the decrease in capital resulting from the raised loan is recognised as a transaction with the owner.

Momentum Group measures financial instruments at fair value or cost in the balance sheet depending on their classification. In addition to items in the financial net debt, financial instruments also include accounts receivable and accounts payable. According to IFRS 7, financial instruments measured at fair value in the balance sheet are included in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amounts for financial assets and liabilities correspond to fair value in all material respects.

OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Group's operating segments comprise the Tools & Consumables and Components & Services business areas. The operating segments are consolidations of the operational organisation, as used by Group management and the Board of Directors to monitor operations. Group management, comprising the CEO and CFO, are the Group's chief operating decision makers.

Tools & Consumables comprises resellers of consumables to the industrial, construction and public sectors in the Nordic region within TOOLS and Mercus Yrkeskläder. Components & Services comprises resellers of industrial components, workplace equipment, service and maintenance to the industrial sector in the Nordic region within Momentum Industrial and Gigant Arbetsplats. Group-wide includes the Group's management, finance function, support functions and logistics operations in Sweden. The support functions include internal communications, investor relations and legal affairs. Financial income and expenses are not distributed by operating segment but rather are recognised in their entirety in Group-wide.

Intra-Group pricing between the operating segments occurs on market terms. The accounting policies are the same as those applied in the consolidated financial statements.

Weighted number of shares and dilution

Average number of shares outstanding before or after dilution. Shares held by Momentum Group at any given time are not included in the number of shares outstanding. Dilution effects arise due to potential call options issued by the Company that can be settled using shares in share-based incentive programmes. In such cases, the call options have a dilution effect when the average share price during the period is higher than the redemption price of the call options. As of 30 June 2017, Momentum Group held no treasury shares and had not issued any call options pertaining to treasury shares.
