NEW BUSINESS AREA STRUCTURE AND TRANSITION TO IFRS 16 AS OF 1 APRIL 2019
Momentum Group's business area structure has been adjusted as of 1 April 2019. The adjustment mainly impacted the subsidiary Gigant AB, which was previously part of the Components & Services business area but became part of the Tools & Consumables business area as of 1 April 2019. The comparative figures have been restated for the adjusted business areas as of 1 April 2018. As of 1 April 2019, the Group applies IFRS 16 Leases. The transition was made using the modified retrospective approach, which means that comparative figures have not been restated. The total transition effects on the balance sheet, income statement, cash flow and selected performance measures are reported in Note 5. Refer also to the accounting policies in Note 1.
Momentum Group AB (publ)
Mail address: PO Box 5900, SE-102 40 Stockholm, Sweden │ Visit: Östermalmsgatan 87 D, Stockholm │ Tel: +46 10 454 54 70 Org no: 559072-1352 Reg office: Stockholm │ www.momentum.group
The first three months of the 2019/20 financial year was marked by continued stable sales trends for most of our businesses. However, the Group's revenue was affected by the fact that Easter fell in April this year, which entailed two fewer trading days (compared with the preceding year). Adjusted for fewer trading days and not including our acquired units, revenue for the Momentum Group was in total essentially unchanged in local currency.
EBITA for the quarter was positively affected by stronger contribution ratios, primarily within TOOLS Sweden and Momentum Industrial. The transformation work in TOOLS Sweden for increased profitability with improved sales promotion and changes in purchases, for example, had a positive effect on profits. The restructuring of the logistics function in Norway continues and is planned to be fully implemented by the end of the calendar year. At the same time, this work incurred extra costs of approximately MSEK 6 in Norway during the quarter. The acquisition of the assets and liabilities of Lindström Group's personal protective equipment (PPE) business during the spring presents new business opportunities for TOOLS Finland. Momentum Industrial reported continued positive sales and profit trends within all of its product and service areas.
In early May, 70 percent of the shares in ETAB Industriautomation AB were acquired, which strengthens Momentum Industrial's position as a leading supplier of solutions in the areas of pneumatics and hydraulics to Swedish industry. In addition, 70 percent of the shares in Company Line, one of the largest resellers of workwear and profile clothing in northern Sweden, were acquired in late June. Acquisitions of niche companies such as these and Lindström Group's PPE business in Finland strengthen both our offering and the Group's profitability, and we are continuously evaluating additional acquisition opportunities.
We continue to prioritise our proximity to customers and sales, which resulted in the extension of existing customer agreements and new agreements entered into in all of our primary markets during the quarter. As part of our decentralised profit responsibility, we will continue to implement measures pertaining to contribution ratios, costs and inventories wherever necessary to ensure earnings growth for the financial year.

Revenue for the first quarter of the financial year increased by 2 percent to MSEK 1,576 (1,543). Exchange-rate translation effects had an impact of MSEK +9 on revenue. Revenue for comparable units, measured in local currency and adjusted for the number of trading days, was essentially unchanged compared with the preceding year. Acquisitions contributed approximately 4 percent to total revenue growth. The quarter included a total of two fewer trading days than the corresponding quarter in the preceding financial year.
Operating profit for the quarter totalled MSEK 70 (70). EBITA increased to MSEK 75 (74). Operating profit was charged with depreciation and impairment losses of MSEK –4 (–4) on tangible non-current assets and amortisation and impairment losses of MSEK –9 (–7) on intangible non-current assets. In addition, the transition to IFRS 16 entailed an MSEK 55 increase in depreciation on right-of-use assets and lower operating expenses by MSEK 56. Exchange-rate translation effects had a net impact of MSEK 0 (+2) on operating profit. The operating margin was 4.4 percent (4.5). Profit after financial items totalled MSEK 66 (69) and net profit amounted to MSEK 51 (54) for the quarter. This corresponds to earnings per share of SEK 1.80 (1.90) for the quarter.

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, the industrial markets in Sweden and Norway continued to display a stable trend during the first quarter of the financial year, while the development in Finland was slightly weaker. The quarter was affected by the fact that Easter fell in April this year, which meant that the quarter had two fewer trading days than the preceding year and resulted in an all-around somewhat lower level of activity at the beginning of the quarter.

| Operating profit | 70 | 70 | 302 | 302 |

This business area comprises TOOLS Sweden, TOOLS Norway, TOOLS Finland, Gigant, Mercus Yrkeskläder, TriffiQ Företagsprofilering, Reklamproffsen and Company Line, which offer products and services related to tools, industrial consumables and workplace equipment as well as workwear and profile clothing for the industrial and construction sectors in the Nordic region.
| QUARTER | FULL-YEAR | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MSEK | APR-JUN 2019 | APR-JUN 2018 | ROLLING 12 MON | 2018/19 |
| Revenue | 1,287 | 1,281 | 4,931 | 4,925 |
| Operating profit | 40 | 45 | 175 | 180 |
| Operating margin | 3.1% | 3.5% | 3.5% | 3.7% |
Acquisitions contributed by approximately 4 percent to total revenue, while revenue for comparable units in the business area Tools & Consumables decreased by 2 percent1 during the first quarter of the financial year.
Revenue for TOOLS Sweden decreased by 4 percent1 during the quarter compared with the preceding year, mainly due to the business's increased focus on selected customer groups and product areas with higher profitability. The improvement activities intended to increase profitability, including increased costefficiency, improved sales promotion and changes in purchases, are proceeding according to plan and resulted in a higher contribution ratio in the quarter compared with the preceding year.
Revenue for TOOLS Norway increased by 2 percent1 during the quarter, with a favourable trend primarily in the oil and gas sector as well as civil engineering and construction. Efforts to restructure the logistics function by establishing a regional logistics hub in Region East continued, resulting in slightly higher costs for operations during the quarter.
Revenue for TOOLS Finland remained largely unchanged1during the quarter compared with the preceding year with the integration of the PPE operations acquired from Lindström Group. The development of the industrial market in Finland was slightly weaker during the quarter and the business is now prioritising customer cultivation in combination with robust cost control.
The restructuring work in Gigant was proceeding with increased coordination with the TOOLS businesses, which is gradually contributing to lower costs and improved operating profit in the unit. The Group's niche companies within workwear and promotional products (Mercus Yrkeskläder, TriffiQ Företagsprofilering and Reklamproffsen) were further strengthened by the acquisition of Company Line in late June, and together generate revenue of over MSEK 350 with healthy profitability.
This business area comprises Momentum Industrial and its subsidiaries, which offer spare parts, service and repairs for customers in the industrial sector in the Nordic region.
| QUARTER | FULL-YEAR | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MSEK | APR-JUN 2019 | APR-JUN 2018 | ROLLING 12 MON | 2018/19 |
| Revenue | 298 | 274 | 1,172 | 1,148 |
| Operating profit | 32 | 30 | 132 | 130 |
| Operating margin | 10.7% | 10.9% | 11.3% | 11.3% |
Revenue in the business area Components & Services increased by 8 percent1 during the first quarter of the financial year, with both Momentum Industrial and its subsidiaries noting healthy revenue growth with a high activity level among new and existing customers in all product and service areas. Sales to most customer groups in the process industry as well as the pulp and paper industry, for example, remained positive. The operating margin for the quarter was 10.7 percent.
The acquisition of the niche company ETAB Industriautomation, which offers solutions in the areas of pneumatics and hydraulics to Swedish industry, in May contributed positively to the development during the quarter, as did Momentum Industrial's other subsidiaries within service and repairs (Rörick Elektriska Verkstad and Carl A Nilssons El Rep Verkstad). The subsidiaries generate annual revenue of approximately MSEK 130 in total.
An operating loss of MSEK –2 (–5) was reported for "Group-wide and eliminations" for the reporting period. The Parent Company's revenue for the reporting period amounted to MSEK 7 (6) and profit after financial items totalled MSEK 1 (2). The period's results do not include any Group contributions, intra-Group dividends or other corresponding items.
1 Comparable units, measured in local currency and adjusted for the number of trading days this year compared with the preceding year.

At the end of the reporting period, the number of employees in the Group was 1,753, compared with 1,684 at the beginning of the financial year. Of the change during the year, approximately 40 persons pertain to employees in acquired businesses.
To date, Momentum Group has conducted three corporate acquisitions with closing during the 2019/20 financial year.
In March 2019, the subsidiary TOOLS Finland Oy acquired Lindström Group's PPE business (Personal Protective Equipment) in Finland. The acquisition further strengthens TOOLS' position as a leading supplier of tools, PPE and related services to Finnish industry. As of the acquisition date, the acquired business generated annual revenue of approximately MEUR 6 with favourable profitability and had five employees. The acquisition was carried out as a conveyance of assets and liabilities. Closing took place in early April 2019.
The subsidiary Momentum Industrial acquired 70 percent of the shares in ETAB Industriautomation AB in early May 2019. ETAB is one of the leading industrial automation companies in Sweden and provides products and services in hydraulics, linear technology and pneumatics to industrial companies in Sweden. The acquisition further strengthens Momentum Industrial's position as the leading supplier of products and services in industrial components to Swedish industry. As of the acquisition date, ETAB generated annual revenue of approximately MSEK 45 and had nine employees. Closing took place in early June 2019.
Momentum Group acquired 70 percent of the shares in Company Line Förvaltning AB in late June 2019. Company Line is one of the largest resellers of workwear and profile clothing in northern Sweden, with professional stores in Luleå and Kiruna. As of the acquisition date, Company Line generated annual revenue of approximately MSEK 75 and had 25 employees. Closing took place in conjunction with the acquisition. The acquisition is expected to have a marginally positive effect on Momentum Group's earnings per share during the 2019/20 financial year.
Refer to Note 4 for a preliminary acquisition analysis regarding the acquisitions during the financial year and a summary of acquisitions completed since the 2015/16 financial year.
The Group's profitability, measured as the return on equity, amounted to 18 percent (18) and the return on working capital (P/WC) to 25 percent (25) for the most recent 12-month period. The return on capital employed for the same period was 17 percent (19).
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital for the reporting period totalled MSEK 126 (50). During the period, inventories decreased by MSEK 9 and operating receivables by MSEK 20. Operating liabilities decreased by MSEK 81. Cash flow from operating activities for the period amounted to MSEK 74 (24). The transition to IFRS 16 affected cash flow from operating activities by MSEK 55 for the period. Refer also to Note 5.
Cash flow for the reporting period was also impacted in a net amount of MSEK –6 (–6) pertaining to investments in and divestments of non-current assets, a net amount of MSEK –58 (–43) pertaining to the acquisition of subsidiaries and other business units, and a net amount of MSEK –55 in financing activities pertaining to the transition to IFRS 16.
At the end of the reporting period, the Group's operational net loan liability amounted to MSEK 314 (324). Cash and cash equivalents, including unutilised granted credit facilities, totalled MSEK 487. The equity/assets ratio at the end of the reporting period was 38 percent, compared with 45 percent at the beginning of the financial year. The transition to IFRS 16 decreased the equity/assets ratio by 7 percentage points at the end of the period. Refer also to Note 5.
Equity per share, both before and after dilution, totalled SEK 48.00 at the end of the reporting period, compared with SEK 46.70 at the beginning of the financial year.


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 2019 |
|---|---|
| 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 | –500,000 |
| Total number of shares after repurchasing | 27,765,416 |
As of 31 March 2019, Momentum Group's holding of Class B treasury shares totalled 500,000. 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 2019 amounted to 500,000, corresponding to 1.8 percent of the total number of shares and 1.3 percent of the total number of votes.
The shares held in treasury 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 June 2019 was SEK 116.00 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.
The Board has decided to propose that the Annual General Meeting in August 2019 resolve to renew the authorisation to repurchase 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 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 2018/19. The Parent Company is impacted indirectly by the above risks and uncertainties through its function in the Group.
Momentum Group AB's Annual General Meeting will be held on Thursday, 29 August 2019, at 4:00 p.m. CET at IVA's Conference Centre, Grev Turegatan 16, Stockholm, Sweden. The notice for the Annual General Meeting will be published on 22 July 2019.
The Board of Directors of Momentum Group AB proposes a dividend of SEK 3.20 per share, corresponding to a pay-out ratio of 39 percent of earnings per share. The proposed dividend corresponds to a total of approximately MSEK 89 (not including the Class B shares repurchased by the Company). 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 resolve to renew the authorisation to repurchase 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.

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 500,000 Class B shares as of 30 June 2019 and has issued 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 June 2019.

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 2018/19 have been applied, with the exception of the new standard IFRS 16 Leases which applies as of 1 April 2019.
IFRS 16 Leases applies as of 1 April 2019 and replaces IAS 17 Leases and IFRIC 4 Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease. The standard primarily entails changes for the lessee, since the distinction between operating and financial leases has been removed. Lessees are to recognise a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing the obligation to make lease payments for each lease. In the income statement, interest and depreciation are recognised instead of lease expenses.
Upon transition to the new standard, Momentum Group has chosen to apply the modified retrospective approach, which does not require restating of comparative periods. Comparative information will continue to be recognised in accordance with IAS 17 Leases and IFRIC 4 Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease.
The Group will recognise new assets and liabilities for operating leases primarily for warehouses and store facilities. The expenses for these leases will change since the Group will recognise depreciation for right-of-use assets and interest expense for lease liabilities. In addition, the Group will no longer recognise provisions for operating leases deemed to be onerous. The Group has chosen to apply the practical expedient permitted in the standard, which entails adjusting the right-of-use asset by the amount recognised as a provision for expected credit losses in connection with the transition.
The right-of-use assets attributable to earlier operating leases are primarily recognised at their depreciated value as of the lease commencement date and to a lesser extent at the value of the liability as of 1 April 2019 plus advance payments recognised in the balance sheet as of 31 March 2019. Lease commitments in connection with the transition have been discounted by the Group's incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is established per country based on a risk-free interest rate with a duration equivalent to the average tenor for leases plus expenses for the Group and its subsidiaries' estimated credit risk and type of asset.
Low-value leases (right-of-use leases with a replacement value less than approximately SEK 50 thousand) are not included in lease liability but continue to be expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Short-term leases (leases with a term of 12 months or less) are not deemed to be material in the Group.
The total effects on the balance sheet, income statement, cash flow and selected performance measures in connection with the transition to IFRS 16 are presented in Note 5.
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, Gigant, Mercus Yrkeskläder, TriffiQ Företagsprofilering and Reklamproffsen Skandinavien, which offer products and services related to tools, industrial consumables and workplace equipment as well as workwear and profile clothing for the industrial, construction and public sectors in the Nordic region. Components & Services comprises Momentum Industrial and its subsidiaries, which offer spare parts, service and repairs for customers in the industrial sector 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. Revenue presented for the geographic markets is based on the domicile of the customers.

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.

INTERIM REPORT – 3 MONTHS
1 APRIL-30 JUNE 2019
As of 1 April 2019, the Group applies IFRS 16 Leases. Due to the implementation of IFRS 16, the Group has reclassified operating leases as right-of-use assets or lease liabilities recognised in the balance sheet. Upon transition to IFRS 16, Momentum Group recognised MSEK 543 for right-of-use assets and MSEK 563 for lease liabilities. The aggregate average incremental borrowing rate for all contracts, by which the Group's lease commitments were discounted in connection with the transition, amounted to approximately 2 percent.
As shown in the tables below, the recognition of depreciation of right-of-use assets instead of lease payments had a net impact of MSEK +1 on operating profit during the first quarter of 2019/20. Depreciation of right-of-use assets totalled MSEK 55. Interest on lease liabilities had a negative impact of MSEK 3 on net financial items.
The effects on the balance sheet, income statement, cash flow and selected performance measures are reported in the tables below. All other things being equal, the effects of IFRS 16 are expected to be approximately the same in the coming quarters, as are the corresponding effects for the full 2019/20 financial year.

Since most of the lease payment is recognised as financing activities, cash flow from financing activities has declined, with a corresponding increase in cash flow from operating activities.

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 alternative 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. Insofar as the performance measures are used and commented on by business area (operating segment), the derivation of the performance measures is also presented at this level.
