  • Revenue increased by 9 percent to MSEK 2,209 (2,029).
  • EBITA increased by 56 percent to MSEK 200 (128), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 9.1 percent (6.3).
  • Operating profit amounted to MSEK 68 (14) and the operating margin to 3.1 percent (0.7). Earnings were charged with items affecting comparability of MSEK –113 (–97), of which MSEK –108 pertained to restructuring costs due to moving TOOLS' Swedish logistics operations to Alligo's central warehouse in Örebro.
  • Net profit for the quarter amounted to MSEK 38 (1) and earnings per share totalled SEK 0.75 (0).
  • Increased demand was noted from most customers, and both of the Group's business areas continued to deliver a positive performance. The Group maintained its ability to deliver despite certain challenges with materials shortages and increased prices for raw materials and transportation.
  • The decision was made to begin preparations ahead of the separate listing of the business area Components & Services, with the aim of listing during the first half of 2022. These preparations resulted in costs affecting comparability of MSEK 5, which were charged to operating profit for the quarter.

REPORTING PERIOD (1 January-30 September 2021)

  • Revenue amounted to MSEK 7,094 (5,856), with the change compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year partly attributable to the acquisition of Swedol, which closed in April 2020. Compared with revenue for the corresponding period in the preceding year including Swedol for the entire reporting period (MSEK 6,685), revenue increased by 6 percent.*
  • EBITA amounted to MSEK 539 (374), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 7.6 percent (6.4). The change compared with the preceding year is partly attributable to the acquisition of Swedol. Compared with EBITA for the corresponding period in the preceding year including Swedol (MSEK 417), EBITA increased by 29 percent and the EBITA margin amounted to 7.6 percent (6.2).*
  • Net profit for the period amounted to MSEK 260 (149) and earnings per share totalled SEK 5.15 (3.80).
  • The return on working capital (EBITA/WC) for the most recent 12-month period was 37 percent.
  • The equity/assets ratio was 40 percent at the end of the period.
  • Cash flow from operating activities amounted to MSEK 431 (702).
  • The business area Components & Services completed four corporate acquisitions during the period generating total annual revenue of approximately MSEK 285. The business area Alligo completed one corporate acquisition in Finland generating total annual revenue of approximately MEUR 5.

AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD

  • Components & Services acquired Intertechna, with closing taking place after the end of the reporting period, thereby strengthening its offering in digitised maintenance for Nordic industry.
  • Alligo acquired the workwear specialist RAF Romerike Arbeidstøy and signed an agreement to divest Gigant in order to refine the operations within the business area.

* ACQUISITION OF SWEDOL CLOSED AS OF 1 APRIL 2020

Momentum Group's acquisition of Swedol was completed during spring 2020 and closed on 1 April 2020. Any instances where the comparative figures in this report include Swedol for the period prior to the closing date on 1 April 2020 are specifically noted.

PRESIDENT'S STATEMENT

FOCUS ON INCREASED GROWTH AND PROFITABILITY

During the quarter, we noted increased demand from most of our customers. The overall recovery was substantial but varied between our operations depending on their geographic markets and customer segments. Thanks to our proactive efforts, we have managed to maintain our ability to deliver even though we have been affected, to varying degrees, by challenges resulting from materials shortages and increased prices for raw materials and transportation.

The positive performance of most of the Group's operations in the previous quarter continued through the third quarter. Growth for comparable units was 6 percent, and margins and earnings improved in both business areas. In total, EBITA increased by 56 percent compared with the third quarter in the previous year.

Operating profit was charged with costs of MSEK 108 for a restructuring reserve in the business area Alligo regarding the previously announced move of TOOLS' Swedish logistics operations from Alingsås to Alligo's modern central warehouse in Örebro. The move, which is expected to be complete by May 2022, will gather the logistics operations in a modern and highly efficient logistics centre, enabling cost savings through a more efficient flow of goods and increased customer value in the form of better service.

INVESTMENTS FOR THE FUTURE

During the current year, we have carried out seven acquisitions to strengthen our position in each business area. The most recent acquisition in Components & Services is the company Intertechna, one of the leading companies in Sweden in digitised maintenance for industry, which strengthens our technical service offering. After the end of the period, Alligo acquired the Norwegian workwear specialist RAF Romerike Arbeidstøy, which strengthens our presence in Oslo.

SEPARATE LISTING OF BUSINESS AREA COMPONENTS & SERVICES

In September, the Board of Directors gave those of us in management the task of continuing to work on dividing the Group's operations into two independent companies, with the aim of carrying out a separate listing of the business area Components & Services on Nasdaq Stockholm during the first half of 2022. The purpose of the split is to strengthen each business area's conditions for achieving its ambitions in the best possible way, thereby creating increased shareholder value. Ahead of the split, the Board of Directors will propose a name change from the current Momentum Group to Alligo, since it is planned that the business area Components & Services will be listed under the name Momentum Group.

The work to enable this split, where joint functions will be divided into two separate and independent companies, is proceeding according to plan. We have already carried out several activities and these measures have thus far resulted in costs affecting comparability of approximately MSEK 7 being charged to the operating profit for the reporting period.

With a sense of great confidence, I look forward to the planned split of the Group into two independent, listed companies that can each continue their fast-paced journeys. The "new" Momentum Group will continue its work on acquisition-driven growth and Alligo will continue its efforts to realise synergies and economies of scale through the coordination of TOOLS and Swedol. The split will create favourable conditions for long-term profitable growth for both Alligo and the "new" Momentum Group.

REVENUE AND PROFIT

THIRD QUARTER (1 July-30 September 2021)

Revenue increased by 9 percent to MSEK 2,209 (2,029). Revenue for comparable units, measured in local currency and adjusted for the number of trading days, rose by approximately 6 percent compared with the corresponding quarter in the preceding year. Exchange-rate translation effects had an impact of MSEK +3 on revenue. The quarter contained the same number of trading days as the corresponding quarter in the preceding year.

Operating profit amounted to MSEK 68 (14). EBITA (operating profit excluding items affecting comparability and amortisation of intangible assets incurred in connection with corporate acquisitions) increased by 56 percent to MSEK 200 (128), equivalent to an EBITA margin of 9.1 percent (6.3). Exchange-rate translation effects had a net impact of MSEK 0 (–1) on operating profit. Operating profit was charged with items affecting comparability of MSEK –113 (–97), of which MSEK –108 pertained to restructuring costs due to moving TOOLS' Swedish logistics operations to Alligo's central warehouse in Örebro. These restructuring costs consist of a restructuring reserve of MSEK 46 and impairment of noncurrent and right-of-use assets of MSEK 62 connected to the logistics facility in Alingsås. Items affecting comparability of MSEK 5 for the quarter (total of MSEK 7 for the reporting period) related to costs for preparations connected to the split of the business area Components & Services.

Profit after financial items totalled MSEK 50 (2) and net profit amounted to MSEK 38 (1), which corresponds to earnings per share of SEK 0.75 (0.00) for the quarter.

REPORTING PERIOD (1 January-30 September 2021)

Revenue amounted to MSEK 7,094 (5,856), with the change compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year partly attributable to the acquisition of Swedol, which closed in April 2020. Compared with revenue for the corresponding period in the preceding year including Swedol for the entire reporting period (MSEK 6,685), revenue increased by 6 percent. Revenue for comparable units (including Swedol), measured in local currency and adjusted for the number of trading days, increased by more than 4 percent compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year. Exchange-rate translation effects had an impact of MSEK –20 on revenue for comparable units (including Swedol). The reporting period contained the same number of trading days as the corresponding period in the preceding year.

Operating profit amounted to MSEK 370 (228), with the change compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year partly attributable to the acquisition of Swedol. EBITA (operating profit excluding items affecting comparability and amortisation of intangible assets incurred in connection with corporate acquisitions) amounted to MSEK 539 (374). Compared with EBITA for the corresponding period in the preceding year including Swedol for the entire reporting period (MSEK 417), EBITA increased by 29 percent, with an EBITA margin of 7.6 percent (6.2). Operating profit was charged with depreciation of MSEK –61 (–33) on tangible non-current assets, amortisation of MSEK –86 (–63) on intangible noncurrent assets and items affecting comparability of MSEK –115 (–106). Exchange-rate translation effects had a net impact of MSEK 0 (–2) on operating profit.

OPERATIONS

MARKET AND THE IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

General demand during the third quarter continued to recover compared with the 2020 financial year. An increasing number of customer segments saw positive changes in demand during the quarter. Due to a global increase in demand, the shortage of materials and resources in some of the Group's product areas as well as transportation disruptions dampened sales to a certain extent. The current situation has not led to any changes in material bases of judgement compared with those applied in the Annual Report for 2020. QUARTER REPORTING PERIOD

BUSINESS AREA ALLIGO

The business area comprises Swedol and TOOLS with Univern and Grolls, and Mercus Yrkeskläder, TriffiQ Företagsprofilering, Reklamproffsen and Company Line, which offer products and services related to tools, consumables, workwear, personal protective equipment, workplace equipment as well as promotional products for the industrial, construction and public sectors in the Nordic region, among others.

Comments from Clein Johansson Ullenvik, Business Area Manager:

During the quarter, we saw increased demand in Sweden, while growth in Norway and Finland was weaker. We implemented price increases during the period to compensate for the increases from our suppliers. Problems in the shipping market have led us to delay the launch of TOOLS' proprietary brands in the summer until the fourth quarter of 2021.

During the quarter, we announced that we are considering moving TOOLS' Swedish logistics operations from Alingsås to our central warehouse in Örebro. There are significant advantages to be gained by coordinating inventories and distribution in Sweden. Gathering all our logistics in a modern and highly efficient logistics centre will enable cost savings through a more efficient flow of goods and increased

customer value in the form of better service. The annual cost savings are expected to amount to approximately MSEK 25.

This decision means that we will not use the logistics centre in Alingsås for the remaining period of approximately six years, which in turn has resulted in restructuring costs related to the remaining time on the lease and other property-related expenses. These restructuring costs, which amount to MSEK 108, have thus been charged to operating profit for the quarter. The move also involves an investment of MSEK 19 in Örebro.

After the end of the quarter, an agreement was signed to divest Gigant, which offers comprehensive solutions for the workplace, lifting and loading as well as environmental assurance for warehouses, industrial operations and engineering businesses. It is unusual for us to divest companies, but this will simplify the structure in Alligo, since Gigant's customers are resellers and Alligo focuses on selling directly to the end customer. However, workplace equipment is an attractive area that Alligo will continue to invest in together with professional partners, including Gigant. 3 MONTHS ENDING 12 MONTHS ENDING 9 MONTHS ENDING

MSEK 19 in Örebro.
Several expansions and automated processes have been added to the logistics centre in Örebro since it
went into operation in 2012. The entire facility was expanded as recently as 2020, and further
investments in automation are now being made in order to handle volumes from TOOLS. We expect the
move to be finished before May next year.

invest in together with professional partners, including Gigant.
During the third quarter, we finished defining our strategic goals. These goals, together with our mission,
vision and the values we launched during the second quarter, form a strategic map for Alligo that
establishes how to effectively conduct operations going forward.

Swedol and other changes in the business area's structure had taken place as of 1 April 2019. For information about
the outcome for each business area (operating segment) for the preceding year excluding Swedol, refer to the table in

Revenue for comparable units rose by 5 percent during the quarter and EBITA increased by 64 percent compared with the corresponding quarter in the preceding year. This growth in sales and earnings was attributable to a recovery over the comparative period as well as stable organic growth in small and medium-sized companies in Sweden, price adjustments and synergy gains. Challenges remain within the industrial segment and we are continuing with planned store integrations, sales promotion improvements and better standardising of the range to be more efficient and to improve profitability going forward.

The sales and earnings performance in the business area as a whole was positive during the third quarter. Revenue for comparable units rose by 16 percent during the quarter compared with the corresponding quarter in the preceding year, which was dominated by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The operations acquired during 2021 have contributed approximately MSEK 140 in sales so far this year.

Demand in most of the product areas in Momentum Industrial was strong during the quarter, primarily from customers in the steel and mining industry as well as the manufacturing industry. For many industrial customers, maintenance work continues to contribute to favourable business opportunities. Increased sales, improved margins and the previously implemented measures to increase cost efficiency contributed to a positive earnings performance during the quarter.

Öbergs i Karlstad and ETAB Industriautomation, in industrial components, and Rörick Elektriska Verkstad, the Mekano companies and Carl A Nilsson, in technical service and repairs, continued to perform well during the quarter and made a positive contribution to the business area's development.

GROUP-WIDE AND ELIMINATIONS

EBITA for "Group-wide and eliminations" amounted to MSEK –11 (–6) for the January-September reporting period and items affecting comparability to MSEK –5 (–7) pertaining to costs for advisors in connection with the preparations for the separate listing of the business area Components & Services. Items affecting comparability in the previous year pertained to the acquisition of Swedol. Accordingly, an operating loss of MSEK –16 (–13) was reported.

The Parent Company's revenue for the reporting period amounted to MSEK 17 (22) and the loss after financial items totalled MSEK –11 (–9). The results include no Group contributions (–).

EMPLOYEES

At the end of the reporting period, the number of employees in the Group amounted to 2,810, compared with 2,670 at the beginning of the year. The change in the number of employees is mainly attributable to the corporate acquisitions that were carried out during the reporting period.

CORPORATE ACQUISITIONS

To date, Momentum Group has conducted seven corporate acquisitions with closing during 2021.

Acquisition of electromechanical workshops from Assemblin.

With the aim of further strengthening the Group's market position in service and maintenance for Swedish industry, an agreement was signed to acquire three electromechanical service workshops from Assemblin El AB in early February 2021. The acquired workshops, which have their origin in NEA workshops (Närkes Elektriska), generate annual revenue of approximately MSEK 90 with favourable profitability and have some 45 employees. The acquisition was conducted as a conveyance of assets and liabilities with closing in early April 2021.

Acquisitions of Mekano and Mekano i Sävedalen.

Momentum Group also signed an agreement in early February 2021 to acquire 70 percent of the shares of Mekano AB and 100 percent of the shares of Mekano i Sävedalen AB, further strengthening the Group's market position in service and maintenance for Swedish industry. Mekano is one of Sweden's leading suppliers of products and services for the industrial services market, and the two Mekano companies generate combined annual revenue of approximately MSEK 145 with favourable profitability and have some 85 employees. Closing took place in February 2021.

Acquisition of Öbergs i Karlstad.

In early February 2021, Momentum Group acquired 100 percent of the shares in Öbergs i Karlstad AB ("Öbergs"). The acquisition of Öbergs, a market-leading specialist company in pneumatics in Sweden, further strengthens the Group's position as a leading supplier of industrial components and related services to Swedish industry. Öbergs generates annual revenue of approximately MSEK 50 with favourable profitability and has 12 employees. Closing took place in conjunction with the acquisition.

Acquisition of industrial reseller Imatran Pultti in Finland.

In late April 2021, Momentum Group acquired 100 percent of the shares in Imatran Pultti Oy with its subsidiary Beranger Oy ("Imatran Pultti"). Imatran Pultti has two stores in Imatra in southeast Finland that offer personal protective equipment, tools, fasteners and industrial components, and the acquisition further strengthens TOOLS' position as a leading supplier to Finnish industry. The acquired businesses generate combined annual revenue of approximately MEUR 5 with favourable profitability and have 11 employees. Closing took place at the end of April 2021.

AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD

Acquisition of digitised maintenance expert Intertechna in Hammarö

In late August 2021, Momentum Group acquired 100 percent of the shares in Intertechna AB. The acquisition of Intertechna, a specialist company in digitised maintenance for industry, further strengthens the business area Components & Services' position as a leading supplier of industrial components and related services to Swedish industry. The acquired company generates annual revenue of approximately MSEK 25 and has eight employees. Closing took place on 1 October 2021.

Acquisition of workwear specialist RAF Romerike Arbeidstøy

On 4 October 2021, the Alligo business area acquired 100 percent of the shares in RAF Romerike Arbeidstøy AS. The purchase further strengthens Alligo's position as a leading supplier in the Norwegian market. The acquired business generates annual revenue of approximately MNOK 16 with favourable profitability. Closing took place in conjunction with the acquisition and is expected to have a marginally positive effect on earnings per share during the current financial year.

Divestment of Gigant

On 5 October 2021, Alligo signed an agreement to divest all shares in Gigant AB and its subsidiaries. The divestment refines Alligo's role as a partner for end customers, primarily within the industrial and construction sectors. The divested operations generated revenue of approximately MSEK 230 in 2020. The conveyance of Gigant is expected to take place at the beginning of November and to have a marginally negative effect on Momentum Group's earnings.

Refer to the summary of acquisitions completed since the 2015/16 financial year on page 16.

PROFITABILITY, CASH FLOW AND FINANCIAL POSITION

The Group's profitability, measured as the return on equity, amounted to 13 percent (10) and the return on working capital (EBITA/WC) to 37 percent (29) for the most recent 12-month period. The return on capital employed for the corresponding period was 10 percent (9).

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital for the reporting period totalled MSEK 730 (581).

AS OF 30 SEPTEMBER 2021

As of 31 December 2020, Momentum Group's holding of Class B treasury shares totalled 500,000. Within the framework of the 2017 share-based incentive programme, a total of 14,000 call options 2017/21 were redeemed during the first quarter and a total of 60,700 call options 2017/21 during the second quarter of 2021 to acquire an equivalent number of repurchased shares. Accordingly, Momentum Group's holding of Class B treasury shares as of 30 September 2021 amounted to 425,300, corresponding to 0.8 percent of the total number of shares and 0.7 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 was SEK 119.30 per share1 . Each call option in this programme entitles the holder to acquire one repurchased Class B share during the redemption periods of 18-25 February and 12-25 May 2021, respectively. After the redemption and repurchase of 74,700 and 175,300 call options, respectively, the 2017/21 programme was concluded in May 2021.

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. As of 30 September 2021, there were 240,000 call options 2018/22 outstanding.

The share price on 30 September 2021 was SEK 200.00 and the call options outstanding on the shares repurchased by the Company according to the above resulted in a dilution effect of approximately 0.15 percent and 0.1 percent for the third quarter of 2021 and the reporting period, respectively. Refer also to page 13.

There have been no changes in the holding of treasury shares after the end of the reporting period.

PARENT COMPANY IN SUMMARY

INCOME STATEMENT

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 options.
After the redemption or repurchase of a total of 74,700 and 175,300 call options, respectively, Momentum Group concluded the
2017/21 call option programme in May 2021 and the Company thereafter held 425,300 Class B shares as of 30 September 2021 and
had a total of 240,000 outstanding 2018/22 call options for repurchased shares. For the third quarter of 2021 and the reporting period's
first nine months of 2021, the average share price exceeded the redemption price of SEK 137.30 per call option in the 2018 share
based incentive programme, which entailed a dilution effect of approximately 0.15 percent and 0.1 percent for the quarter and the
reporting period, respectively, as of 30 September 2021. The share price on 30 September 2021 was SEK 200.00. Refer also to page 8.

PERFORMANCE MEASURES – DEFINITIONS & 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 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
