We continued along our established path, with a focus on earnings growth along with profitabilityenhancing measures during the second quarter of the 2018/19 financial year. For Momentum Group as a whole, operating profit has increased by 20 percent to date during the year (compared with adjusted operating profit for the corresponding period in the preceding year) and the operating margin was 4.7 percent. We are also gradually strengthening our cash flow through our activities to optimise the Group's funds tied up in working capital. As in prior periods, our earnings growth and improved operating margin were a result of the efficiency-enhancement efforts we have implemented, and continue to implement, in several Group companies.
As a whole, our main markets continued to display an overall stable trend during the period, with activity in Norway, for example, continuing to increase, particularly in the oil and gas sector. Demand increased gradually during the second quarter, following a somewhat weaker start during the summer months in essentially all Group companies. Momentum Industrial's acquisition of Brammer's Swedish MRO business* prior to the summer strengthened our market position in Sweden and contributed to increased revenue and earnings. TOOLS Norway continues to deliver a positive sales and earnings trend, with work being carried out to establish a third regional logistics hub in order to optimise logistics. This hub is located in the Oslo area and will serve half of our local units in Norway. Moreover, the companies we acquired, particularly in the area of workwear and profile clothing, have contributed healthy profitability levels.
We are now in one of our most intensive sales periods of the year. Going forward, it will be important to continue working closely with our customers in order to provide them with competitive offerings while at the same time continuously adapting our operations to the prevailing market conditions. The improvement activities carried out in the TOOLS businesses in Sweden, Norway and Finland in order to increase profitability are thus continuing unabated, as is the ongoing restructuring work in Gigant. We are also continuously assessing interesting acquisition candidates with the potential to strengthen our position in our main markets in Sweden, Norway and Finland.

Revenue in the Tools & Consumables business area decreased by 1 percent1 during the second quarter of the financial year. At the same time, acquisitions contributed approximately 1 percent to total revenue. Favourable sales growth was noted in TOOLS Norway and the workwear and profile products companies.
Revenue for TOOLS Sweden decreased by 11 percent1 during the quarter compared with the preceding year, mainly due to the restructuring work ongoing in the operations, involving the winding down of 15 less profitable sales units in 2017 and an increased focus on selected customer groups and product areas. The improvement activities initiated in the operations in autumn 2016 in order to increase profitability are continuing and include improved sales promotion, investments in e-commerce and digitalisation, changes in purchases and increased cost efficiency.
Revenue for TOOLS Norway increased by 10 percent1 during the quarter, with a favourable trend in the industrial and oil and gas sectors and stable demand in the construction and civil engineering sectors. Along with the measures taken to improve efficiency, the increase in sales had a positive impact on the earnings trend. Work is under way on the establishment of a third regional logistics hub in order to optimise logistics in Norway.
TOOLS Finland is now facing strong comparative months and reported a decline in revenue of 3 percent1 during the quarter compared with the preceding year. Combined with sound cost control, a continued focus on customer cultivation resulted in a stable earnings performance for the operations during the quarter, with an operating margin that remained in excess of 5 percent.
The group of companies specialising in workwear and profile products noted a continued positive sales and earnings trend during the quarter. For the largest company in the group, Mercus Yrkeskläder, revenue increased by 2 percent1 , with a positive trend noted in most sales units. The companies acquired in 2017-2018, TriffiQ Företagsprofilering and Reklamproffsen, performed well and contributed positively to earnings.
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.

Revenue in the Components & Services business area increased by 8 percent2 during the second quarter of the financial year. The largest unit, Momentum Industrial, noted favourable revenue growth, with a high activity level among existing customers.
Momentum Industrial's revenue increased by 13 percent2 during the quarter, with growth in all product areas for major industrial companies in, for example, the automotive sector and process industry. The increase in sales had a positive impact on the earnings trend compared with the preceding year. The integration of the eight local sales and service units acquired from Brammer in late May 2018 has been completed according to plan. This acquisition strengthens Momentum Industrial's position as a leading supplier of industrial components and related services to Swedish industry.
Revenue for Gigant decreased by 7 percent2 during the quarter, with sales via resellers in Norway and Finland performing positively while sales in the Swedish market declined. The restructuring work in Gigant is proceeding and gradually contributes to reduced costs in the unit.
An operating loss of MSEK –3 (–7) was reported for "Group-wide and eliminations" for the reporting period. The result for the reporting period in the current year includes no items affecting comparability. Items affecting comparability in "Group-wide" for the reporting period in the preceding year amounted to MSEK –5 and pertained to costs associated with the spin-off from the B&B TOOLS Group and the separate listing of Momentum Group on Nasdaq Stockholm.
The Parent Company's revenue for the reporting period amounted to MSEK 11 (13) and profit after financial items totalled MSEK 6 (–4). These results do not include any Group contributions, intra-Group dividends or other corresponding items.
At the end of the reporting period, the number of employees in the Group was 1,668, compared with 1,647 at the beginning of the financial year. The change during the period mainly pertained to employees in acquired businesses.
Momentum Group concluded two corporate acquisitions during the reporting period.
In April 2018, the subsidiary TriffiQ Företagsprofilering AB acquired all of the shares in Profilmakarna AB in Södertälje. The acquisition enabled the formation of a leading player in profile clothing, promotional products and workwear in Stockholm and Södertälje. Profilmakarna generates annual revenue of approximately MSEK 25 and has eight employees. Closing took place in April 2018 and the acquisition is expected to have a marginally positive impact on Momentum Group's earnings per share for the 2018/19 financial year.
In May 2018, the subsidiary Momentum Industrial AB acquired Brammer's Swedish MRO business, comprising eight local sales and service units across Sweden. The acquisition strengthened Momentum Industrial's position as a leading supplier of industrial components with related services to Swedish industry. In total, the acquired units generated annual revenue of approximately MSEK 140 with healthy trade margins. The acquisition was carried out as a conveyance of assets and liabilities. Closing took place in May 2018 and the acquisition is expected to have a marginally positive impact on Momentum Group's earnings per share for the 2018/19 financial year.

Refer to the summary of acquisitions completed since the 2015/16 financial year on page 13.
The Group's profitability, measured as the return on working capital (P/WC), amounted to 24 percent (21) for the most recent 12-month period. The return on capital employed for the corresponding period was 18 percent (5) and the return on equity was 18 percent (4).
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital for the reporting period totalled MSEK 100 (96). Funds tied up in working capital rose by MSEK 92 (125). During the period, inventories increased by MSEK 19 and operating receivables by MSEK 41, primarily due to the increased activity level in Norway and for some of the businesses in Sweden. Operating liabilities decreased by MSEK 32, mainly due to the settlement of holiday pay. Accordingly, cash flow from operating activities for the period amounted to MSEK 8 (–29).
Cash flow for the reporting period was also impacted in a net amount of MSEK –13 (–17) pertaining to investments in and divestments of non-current assets and a net amount of MSEK –43 (–38) pertaining to the acquisition of subsidiaries and other business units.
At the end of the reporting period, the Group's operational net loan liability amounted to MSEK 419 (348). Dividends totalling MSEK 73 were paid out during the period. Cash and cash equivalents, including unutilised granted credit facilities, totalled MSEK 381. The equity/assets ratio at the end of the reporting period was 42 percent, compared with 42 percent at the beginning of the financial year.
Equity per share, both before and after dilution, totalled SEK 42.75 at the end of the reporting period, compared with SEK 40.95 at the beginning of the financial year.
In June 2018, the Swedish Parliament decided on new tax legislation introducing a lower corporation tax in two stages: 21.4 percent as of 2019 and 20.6 percent as of 2021. The decision entails that deferred tax has been remeasured based on the assessed date of realisation, which has resulted in a marginally positive impact on recognised tax for the period.
At the end of the reporting period, share capital totalled MSEK 57. The distribution by class of share was as follows:
| CLASS OF SHARE | AS OF 30 SEPTEMBER 2018 |
|---|---|
| Class A shares | 1,062,436 |
| Class B shares | 27,202,980 |
| Total number of shares before repurchasing | 28,265,416 |
| Less: Repurchased Class B shares | –250,000 |
| Total number of shares after repurchasing | 28,015,416 |
As of 31 March 2018, Momentum Group's holding of Class B shares totalled 250,000. There were no changes to the holding of treasury shares during the reporting period. Accordingly, the number of Class B shares held in treasury as of 30 September 2018 amounted to 250,000, corresponding to 0.9 percent of the total number of shares and 0.7 percent of the total number of votes.
The shares held in treasury also cover the Company's obligations in the call option programmes issued to senior management in December 2017 and September 2018, respectively. The redemption price for the
250,000 call options issued in connection with the 2017 share-based incentive programme is SEK 121.60 per share. Each call option in this programme entitles the holder to acquire one repurchased Class B share during the redemption periods of 12-25 February and 12-25 May 2021, respectively. The redemption price for the 250,000 call options issued in connection with the 2018 share-based incentive programme is SEK 137.30 per share. Each call option in this programme entitles the holder to acquire one repurchased Class B share during the redemption periods of 14-28 February and 16-30 May 2022, respectively.
The share price on 30 September 2018 was SEK 112.60 and the issued call options thus did not result in any dilution effect during the reporting period.
There have been no changes in the holding of treasury shares after the end of the reporting period.
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.
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 the number of employees in the industrial and construction sectors combined with structural changes and the competitive situation. The risks and uncertainties impacting the Group are the same as in earlier periods. For more information about the Group's risks and uncertainties, refer to page 34 of Momentum Group's Annual Report for 2017/18. The Parent Company is impacted indirectly by the above risks and uncertainties through its function in the Group.
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 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 Annual Report for 2017/18 have been applied. New and amended IFRS and IFRIC interpretations applicable as of the 2018/19 financial year, mainly IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, have not had a material impact on the Group's financial reporting.
IFRS 16 Leases will be applied from the 2019/20 financial year. IFRS 16 mainly affects the lessee and the principal effect is that leases which are currently reported as operational leases will be recognised in a manner similar to the current recognition of financial leases. As an operational lessee, Momentum Group will be affected by the implementation of IFRS 16. Monetary calculations of the effect of IFRS 16 and the choice of transitional method have not yet been concluded.
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 Board of Directors, owners 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 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 15-17.
No significant events affecting the Group have occurred since the end of the reporting period.
The Board of Directors and the President & CEO affirm that this Interim Report provides a true and fair overview of the operations, position and earnings of the Parent Company and the Group, and that it describes the material risks and uncertainties to which the Parent Company and the companies within the Group are exposed.

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. The fair value of all of the Group's financial assets is estimated to correspond with their carrying amount. Liabilities measured at fair value comprise options issued in connection with the acquisition of equity instruments in partly owned subsidiaries, which are measured using discounted cash flow and are thus included in level 3 according to IFRS 13.

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 any 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. Momentum Group held 250,000 Class B shares as of 30 September 2018 and has issued a total of 500,000 call options for repurchased treasury shares. Since the average share price is lower than the redemption prices of SEK 121.60 per call option ("2017 Share-Based Incentive Programme") and SEK 137.30 per call option ("2018 Share-Based Incentive Programme"), respectively, no dilution effect existed as of 30 September 2018. Refer also to pages 6-7.
