• In January 2019, TOOLS Norway acquired all of the shares in the industrial reseller TOOLS Løvold. The acquisition further strengthens TOOLS' position as the leading supplier to Norwegian industry. TOOLS Løvold generates annual revenue of approximately MNOK 95 and has 28 employees.
Momentum Group's operating margin has improved continuously in recent years and the Group's cash flow and financial position are stronger than they have been for a long time. We thus have a solid foundation to carry out further corporate acquisitions and continue to boost the profitability of both of our operating segments through the improvement efforts we are implementing within the Group.
For Momentum Group as a whole, adjusted operating profit (excluding items affecting comparability) has increased by 17 percent to date in the financial year and the operating margin was 5 percent. At the same time, we have improved our operating cash flow through the activities implemented in order to optimise the Group's funds tied up in working capital.
Overall demand for our products and services was stable during the first nine months of the financial year. From a geographic perspective, the Norwegian market remained favourable and the positive sales trend in TOOLS Norway continues. The Swedish TOOLS operations have noted a reduction in revenue during the year, mainly due to the planned winding down of less profitable sales units and product ranges. Our Group companies in workwear and promotional products contributed positively to the earnings trend during the quarter, and Momentum Industrial continued to report favourable revenue growth for industrial components to Swedish industry.
Our aim for the end of the financial year is for all operations to continue improving their profitability. Decentralised responsibility and customer proximity remain a high priority in our daily work.
Stockholm, February 2019

Favourable sales growth was primarily noted in TOOLS Norway and the workwear and promotional product companies.
Revenue for TOOLS Sweden decreased by 7 percent1 during the quarter compared with the preceding year, with the sales trend impacted by the increased focus on selected customer groups and product areas with higher profitability. The improvement activities initiated in the operations in autumn 2016 in order to increase profitability are continuing and include improved sales promotion, investments in ecommerce and digitalisation, changes in purchases and increased cost efficiency. The number of sales units was unchanged during the quarter compared with the preceding year.
Revenue for TOOLS Norway increased by 7 percent1 during the quarter, with a favourable trend primarily in the industrial and oil and gas sectors. Along with the measures taken to improve efficiency, the increase in sales continued to have a positive impact on the earnings trend.

The industrial reseller TOOLS Løvold was acquired after the end of the reporting period in January 2019.
Revenue in TOOLS Finland declined by 2 percent1 during the quarter compared with the strong comparative months in the preceding year. Combined with sound cost control, a continued focus on customer cultivation contributed to the business's earnings during the quarter.
The Group companies specialising in workwear and promotional products displayed a continued positive sales and earnings trend during the quarter. For the largest company in the group, Mercus Yrkeskläder, revenue increased by 4 percent1 , with a positive trend noted in most sales units. The companies acquired in 2017-2018, TriffiQ Företagsprofilering and Reklamproffsen, continued to perform 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 14 percent2 during the third quarter of the financial year. The largest unit, Momentum Industrial, continued to display favourable revenue growth, with a high activity level among many existing customers.
Momentum Industrial's revenue increased by 18 percent2 during the quarter, with growth in all product groups and in the service area. In general, there is a high activity level within the operations, with increased sales to most customer groups, for example, in the process and automotive industries. The increase in sales continued to have a positive impact on the earnings trend compared with the preceding year.
Revenue for Gigant increased by 3 percent2 during the quarter, with sales via resellers in Norway and Sweden performing particularly well. The restructuring work in Gigant is proceeding and gradually contributing to a reduction in costs and improved operating profit in the unit.
An operating loss of MSEK –6 (–9) 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 17 (16) and profit after financial items totalled MSEK 9 (–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 three 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.
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
In October 2018, the subsidiary TOOLS Finland Oy acquired the operations of MFG Components, a specialist transmission company. The acquisition strengthened TOOLS Finland's transmission offering, adding expertise, experience and customer contacts. The operations generate annual revenue of approximately MEUR 1 and has three employees. The acquisition was carried out as a conveyance of assets and liabilities. Closing took place in October 2018.
In January 2019, the subsidiary TOOLS AS acquired all of the shares in the industrial reseller TOOLS Løvold in Norway. TOOLS Løvold has five local units that offer tools, workwear, industrial consumables and related services to companies operating primarily in industry, food and infrastructure. The acquisition further strengthens TOOLS' position as the leading supplier to Norwegian industry. TOOLS Løvold generates annual revenue of approximately MNOK 95 and has 28 employees. Closing took place in January 2019 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 (24) for the most recent 12-month period. The return on capital employed for the corresponding period was 19 percent (8) and the return on equity was 18 percent (8).
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital for the reporting period totalled MSEK 174 (159). During the period, inventories increased by MSEK 28, while operating receivables decreased by MSEK 26. Operating liabilities decreased by MSEK 10. Accordingly, cash flow from operating activities for the period amounted to MSEK 162 (100), of which MSEK 154 (129) was attributable to the third quarter.
Cash flow for the reporting period was also impacted in a net amount of MSEK –19 (–26) pertaining to investments in and divestments of non-current assets and a net amount of MSEK –46 (–41) 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 297 (256). Dividends totalling MSEK 73 were paid out during the period. Cash and cash equivalents, including unutilised granted credit facilities, totalled MSEK 503. The equity/assets ratio at the end of the reporting period was 45 percent, compared with 42 percent at the beginning of the financial year.
Equity per share, both before and after dilution, totalled SEK 43.60 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 31 DECEMBER 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 | –500,000 |
| Total number of shares after repurchasing | 27,765,416 |
As of 31 March 2018, Momentum Group's holding of Class B treasury shares totalled 250,000. During reporting period, Momentum Group acquired 250,000 own Class B shares. Accordingly, the number of Class B shares held in treasury as of 31 December 2018 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 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 31 December 2018 was SEK 80.50 SEK 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. The Group's project concerning the implementation of IFRS 16 is proceeding according to plan. Information has been gathered on all of the leases deemed to be material to the Group and is now being quantified. However, the ultimate impact of the transition to the new standard will depend on future financial conditions, including the composition of the Group's lease portfolio and the Group's interest on loans at the time of transition. Momentum Group intends to recognise the effect of the transition to IFRS 16 as of 1 April 2019.
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.
In accordance with a resolution passed at the Annual General Meeting held in August 2018, the largest shareholders in terms of votes as of 31 December 2018 have been contacted and asked to appoint four
1 APRIL-31 DECEMBER 2018
members who, together with the Chairman of the Board, will form the Election Committee for the election of the Board of Directors at the upcoming Annual General Meeting in August 2019. Accordingly, the Election Committee comprises Fredrik Börjesson (appointed by Tisenhult-gruppen), Marianne Flink (appointed by Swedbank Robur Funds), Lilian Fossum Biner (appointed by Handelsbanken Funds), Tom Hedelius and Chairman of the Board Jörgen Wigh. Contact information for the Election Committee is available on Momentum Group's website.
In January 2019, the subsidiary TOOLS AS acquired all of the shares in the industrial reseller TOOLS Løvold in Norway. The acquisition further strengthened TOOLS' position as the leading supplier to Norwegian industry. TOOLS Løvold generates annual revenue of approximately MNOK 95 and has 28 employees.
In order to create even stronger conditions for increased coordination and profitability in the Group's two business areas, the Board of Directors decided today to adjust the Group's current business area structure slightly. The adjustment will mainly impact the subsidiary Gigant AB, which is currently part of the Components & Services business area but will become part of the Tools & Consumables business area as of 1 April 2019. Above all, this change will facilitate increased coordination between Gigant and the TOOLS operations.
The changed business area structure will be recognised externally for the first time in the Momentum Group's Interim Report for the first quarter of the 2019/20 financial year, which will be published on 17 July 2019. Pro forma financial information for the changed business area structure for the current 2018/19 financial year will be presented in conjunction with the Group's Financial Report, which will be published on 9 May 2019.
No other 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.

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 500,000 Class B shares as of 31 December 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 31 December 2018. Refer also to pages 6-7.
