Momentum Group AB (publ)

The first quarter of the new 2018/19 financial year was marked by continued favourable sales and earnings trends for most of our businesses. For Momentum Group as a whole, operating profit increased by 35 percent (compared with adjusted operating profit for the first quarter of the preceding year) and the operating margin was 4.5 percent. The Group's 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, Momentum Group's main markets continued to display a stable trend, with general demand continuing to strengthen during the quarter, particularly in Norway. Most of our businesses improved their earnings compared with the preceding year, and we were particularly pleased to note TOOLS Norway's earnings growth, combined with increased sales volumes, and Momentum Industrial's continued healthy earnings. TOOLS Finland also continued to display a positive performance, with an operating margin of more than 5 percent for the quarter. Revenue for TOOLS Sweden decreased during the quarter compared with the preceding year, mainly due to the increased focus on selected customer groups and product areas, and to the winding down of 15 less profitable sales units in 2017. The improvement activities carried out to increase profitability in the TOOLS businesses continues unabated in all three countries, as does the ongoing restructuring work in Gigant.
In May, Momentum Industrial acquired Brammer's Swedish MRO business*, comprising eight local sales and service units across Sweden with total annual revenue of approximately MSEK 140. This acquisition further strengthened Momentum Industrial's position in the market. The integration of the local units has proceeded well to date, which is also reflected in the continued favourable trend for Momentum Industrial during the quarter. Moreover, the companies we acquired, particularly in the area of workwear and profile clothing, have contributed healthy profitability levels.
We are continuing along the established path, with a focus on earnings growth along with reduced funds tied up in working capital in order to achieve increased profitability. Our future success will partly depend on the close cooperation of our local units with their customers as well as our ability to adapt our operations as and when the market conditions require us to do so. Accordingly, we will continue to adapt the measures taken in the various companies to their unique situations and opportunities, with a focus on always improving and being "better than yesterday".

Revenue for the first quarter of the financial year increased by 10 percent to MSEK 1,543 (1,400). Exchange-rate translation effects had an impact of MSEK +42 on revenue.

Acquisitions contributed approximately 3 percent to total revenue growth. The quarter included a total of one trading day more than the corresponding quarter in the preceding financial year.
Operating profit for the quarter totalled MSEK 70 (42). Profit for the quarter includes no items affecting comparability (MSEK –10), and adjusted operating profit amounted to MSEK 70 (52) – corresponding to an increase by 35 percent.

Revenue in the Tools & Consumables business area remained largely unchanged1 in the first quarter of the financial year. Acquisitions contributed approximately 4 percent to total revenue growth. Favourable sales growth was noted during the quarter, particularly in TOOLS Norway and the workwear and profile materials companies.
Revenue for TOOLS Sweden decreased by 13 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 combined with increased cost efficiency. The improvement activities initiated in the businesses in autumn 2016 in order to increase profitability continues according to plan.
Revenue for TOOLS Norway increased by 13 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. Essentially all sales units reported increased sales compared with the preceding year. Along with the measures taken to improve efficiency and reduce costs, the increase in sales had a positive impact on the earnings trend.
TOOLS Finland increased its revenue by 4 percent1 during the quarter and continued to deliver a favourable sales trend in most customer groups. Combined with continued sound cost control, the increase in sales had a positive impact on the earnings performance during the quarter, with an operating margin of more than 5 percent.
A favourable market situation was noted for the Group companies specialising in workwear and profile materials during the quarter. Revenue for Mercus Yrkeskläder increased by 9 percent1 , with a positive sales trend in all sales units. Combined with a number of cost-saving measures, this favourable sales growth continued to have a positive impact on the company's earnings performance. The newly acquired companies TriffiQ Företagsprofilering and Reklamproffsen performed well and contributed positively to earnings. TriffiQ's acquisition of Profilmakarna in Södertälje in April 2018 enabled the formation of a leading player in workwear, profile clothing and promotional products in Stockholm and Södertälje.
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.

Momentum Industrial's revenue increased by 11 percent1 during the quarter, with growth in sales of components to major industrial companies in the automotive sector and process industry, and with the addition of Brammer's Swedish MRO operations2 as of the end of May 2018. The increase in sales had a

positive impact on the earnings trend compared with the preceding year. The acquisition of Brammer's eight local sales and service units across Sweden further strengthened Momentum Industrial's position as a leading supplier of industrial components with related services to Swedish industry. The integration of the acquired businesses proceeded according to plan during the quarter.
Revenue for Gigant was largely unchanged3 during the quarter. The restructuring work in Gigant is proceeding and sales via resellers developed positively during the quarter, which – combined with the measures implemented to reduce costs – had a positive impact on earnings during the quarter.
An operating loss of MSEK –5 (–3) was reported for "Group-wide and eliminations" for the reporting period. The result for the first quarter during the present year includes no items affecting comparability. Items affecting comparability in "Group-wide" for the first quarter of 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 6 (7) and profit after financial items totalled MSEK 2 (–7). 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 1,683, 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 has 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 enables 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. Together, 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.
According to the preliminary acquisition analysis, the assets and liabilities included in the acquisitions during the reporting period amounted to the following:

3 Comparable units, measured in local currency and adjusted for the number of trading days this year compared with the preceding 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 25 percent (20) for the most recent 12-month period. The return on capital employed for the corresponding period was 19 percent (4) and the return on equity was 18 percent (3).
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital for the reporting period totalled MSEK 50 (36). Funds tied up in working capital rose by MSEK 26 (44). During the period, inventories decreased by MSEK 3 and operating receivables increased by MSEK 54, primarily due to the increased activity level in Norway and Finland. Operating liabilities rose by MSEK 25. Accordingly, cash flow from operating activities for the period amounted to MSEK 24 (–8).
Cash flow for the reporting period was also impacted in a net amount of MSEK –6 (–9) pertaining to investments in and divestments of non-current assets and a net amount of MSEK –43 (0) 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 324 (281). Cash and cash equivalents, including unutilised granted credit facilities, totalled MSEK 476. The equity/assets ratio at the end of the reporting period was 43 percent, compared with 42 percent at the beginning of the financial year.
Equity per share, both before and after dilution, totalled SEK 43.55 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 JUNE 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 June 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 repurchased shares also cover the Company's obligations under the call option programme issued to senior management in December 2017. 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 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 share price on 30 June 2018 was SEK 110.60 and the issued call options thus did not result in any dilution effect during the reporting period. When fully exercised, the number of outstanding Class B shares will increase by 250,000, corresponding to 0.9 percent of the total number of shares and 0.7 percent of the total number of votes.
There have been no changes in the holding of treasury shares after the end of the reporting period.
The Board has decided to propose that the Annual General Meeting in August 2018 resolve to renew the authorisation to repurchase of own shares in accordance with the information below.
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 risk 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.
Momentum Group AB's Annual General Meeting will be held on Wednesday, 22 August 2018, at 2:00 p.m. at IVA's Conference Centre, Grev Turegatan 16, Stockholm, Sweden.
The Board of Directors of Momentum Group AB proposes a dividend of SEK 2.60 per share, corresponding to a pay-out ratio of 40 percent of earnings per share. Taking into account the Class B shares repurchased by the Company, the proposed dividend corresponds to a total of approximately MSEK 73. The proposed dividend is in line with the Company's dividend policy, which states that 30-50 percent of earnings per share are to be distributed over a business cycle.
The Board has also decided to propose that the Annual General Meeting in August 2018 resolve to renew the authorisation to repurchase of own shares. In brief, this motion entails that the Annual General Meeting would authorise the Board, during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, to repurchase a maximum number of own shares through Nasdaq Stockholm so that the Company's holding of treasury shares at no time exceeds 10 percent of the total number of shares in the Company. This authorisation would enable the Board to use repurchased shares to pay for acquisitions or to sell the shares in a manner other than through Nasdaq Stockholm in order to finance acquisitions and to fulfil the Company's obligations in connection with its share-based incentive programmes for senior management in the Momentum Group.
No significant events affecting the Group have occurred since the end of the reporting period.

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.

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 TOOLS Sweden, TOOLS Norway, TOOLS Finland, Mercus Yrkeskläder, TriffiQ Företagsprofilering and Reklamproffsen Skandinavien, which offer products and services related to tools and industrial consumables as well as workwear and profile clothing for the industrial, construction and public sectors in the Nordic region.

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 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 June 2018 and has issued 250,000 call options for these treasury shares. Since the average share price is lower than the redemption price of SEK 121.60 per call option, no dilution effect existed as of 30 June 2018. Refer also to page 6.
Corporate acquisitions carried out since the 2015/16 financial year are distributed between the Momentum Group's business areas as follows:
