A lligo has undergone a rapid transformation since it was formed through the merger of Tools and Swedol in spring 2020. As we now leave the third quarter behind us, we do so in a challenging world situation, but with a positive outlook on the future. We are switching focus from integration and concentrating to a greater extent on driving sales, developing our offering and streamlining our processes.
The Group's revenue for the third quarter amounted to MSEK 2,118 (1,856), an increase of 14.1 per cent compared with the same quarter last year. Organic growth was 10.2 per cent (5.9).
In Sweden, sales were negatively affected during the quarter by disruptions resulting from the implementation of a new business system and a new logistics structure in Sweden. Now everything is in place and sales began to pick up towards the end of the quarter. In Norway, sales continued to benefit from the strong growth in the Oil and gas industry segment. Sales in Finland increased during the quarter, driven mainly by strong demand from larger industrial customers.
Alligo has so far handled the uncertain market situation well. Employment levels at small and medium-sized customers have remained high, as they historically do even in times of uncertainty and weaker economic conditions. We are nevertheless seeing a degree of slowdown in relation to larger industrial clients in Sweden. Another advantage that Alligo enjoys in times of greater price sensitivity is a relatively high proportion of our own brands in several product categories, where we deliver high quality at a competitive price.
We have managed to secure deliveries and have built up our stocks ahead of the autumn and winter, giving us certainty in terms of the supply of goods and enabling us to provide our customers with good availability. We are also rolling out our Nordic range and launching our own brands on all of Alligo's markets. These investments temporarily tie up more capital and so reduce cash flow as a result.
Our costs are increasing because of high inflation, a weak Swedish krona and high energy prices and we continuously review the organisation's cost structure to ensure that we are well equipped to handle the prevailing market conditions. The price increases for our purchasing are at historically high levels. We are currently seeing a certain degree of stabilisation, although we expect prices to continue to rise because of the weak krona. The situation is placing significant demands on our purchasing work and we have generally been fairly successful in specifying requirements and in our monitoring. We are working closely with our suppliers to keep our purchasing prices at reasonable levels relative to the underlying cost increases in the supply chain.
The increased purchasing prices and freight costs are putting pressure on our margins. Up to now we have been able to offset increased purchasing prices with our own price rises, although this has not been entirely successful in Norway.
Group EBITA amounted to MSEK 181 for the quarter (149), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 8.5 per cent (8.0).
This improvement in profit is the result of increased sales volumes, better gross margins and synergies. In Sweden, profitability continued

to benefit from a good customer mix, with a large proportion of small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as synergies between Swedol and Tools. Norway and Finland have a greater proportion of large industrial customers, where the margins are generally lower. The margin trend in Finland was positive which shows that our investments are achieving results. At the same time, our sales management in Norway requires a great deal of development in order to improve both sales and margins.
During the first half of 2022, we implemented several major integration projects with the aim of making Alligo a fully integrated company. We have achieved what we set out to do and we have completed the majority of the integration work that was necessary following the merger of Swedol and Tools. During the third quarter, we have been able to refocus within the organisation, from integration to marketing and operational efficiency.
We have a successful concept for driving profitable organic growth, which we are implementing on all our markets. We are well equipped financially and we envisage good opportunities for supplementing our organic growth through acquisitions.
Clein Johansson Ullenvik Group President and CEO
Alligo is a leading player within workwear, personal protective equipment, tools and consumables in the Nordic region. The offering consists of a standardised product range of goods and services that enable companies to function. The range consists of a balanced mix of own brands and external brands and is characterised by high quality, value for money and product safety, combined with a good service level and availability.
Alligo's main markets of Sweden, Norway and Finland generate total revenue of approximately SEK 50 billion per year. Its customers are a balanced mix of small and medium-sized enterprises, large companies and publicsector agencies within eight defined industry segments: Manufacturing, Construction industry, Public sector, Transport and storage, Repair and maintenance, Agriculture and forestry, Fishing and aquaculture and Oil and gas.
Through the concept brands Swedol, Tools, Grolls and Univern, alongside local independent stores, we meet professional users throughout the Nordic region in the channels where they want to meet us, whether this is a store, field sales, digital channels or on-site service.
Since Alligo was formed through the merger of Swedol and Tools in 2020, intensive work has been under way to construct an integrated company with a common platform that provides economies of scale within key areas such as concept and market, Assortment and Procurement, logistics, finance, IT, HR and sales.
Based on common values, strategies and objectives, we will work together to achieve the vision of becoming unbeatable as a partner to our customers and suppliers, as an employer to our employees and as a leader of sustainable development in our industry.
SWEDEN: Mercus, Company Line, Reklamproffsen, Industriprofil, TriffiQ, Profilmakarna, Defacto and Magnusson Agentur. NORWAY: Lunna, HE Seglem and LVH. FINLAND: Metaplan, Imatran Pultti and Liukkosen Pultti.
Revenue increased by 14.1 per cent to MSEK2,118 (1,856). Revenue from like-for-like sales, measured in local currency and adjusted for the number of trading days, increased by 10.2 per cent compared with the corresponding quarter last year. The growth in like-for-like sales corresponds to organic growth, as no new stores were established during the period. This increase is driven mainly by larger industrial customers in Finland and Norway, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises in Sweden. Sales to larger industrial customers in Sweden have been negatively affected by disruption to logistics and sales processes as a result of the migration to a common business system and the coordination of logistics during the second quarter. The proportion of own brands during the quarter was 17.8 per cent (22.0). This reduction is mainly the result of the divestment of Gigant and Nytello during the fourth quarter last year, but adjusted for this the proportion of own brands is higher than in the corresponding period last year (17.5) and has increased on all markets. Currency translation effects had a positive impact on revenue of MSEK 54, mainly as a result of the development of NOK, but also of EUR. The quarter contained the same number of trading days as last year.

Revenue increased by 8.5 per cent to MSEK6,488 (5,981). Revenue from like-for-like sales, measured in local currency and adjusted for the number of trading days, increased by 5.9 per cent compared with the corresponding period last year. The growth in like-for-like sales corresponds to organic growth, as no new stores were established during the period. This increase is driven mainly by larger industrial customers in Finland and Norway, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises in Sweden. Sales to larger industrial customers in Sweden have been negatively affected by disruption to logistics and sales processes as a result of the migration to a common business system and the coordination of logistics during the second quarter. The proportion of own brands during the period was 17.4 per cent (20.1). This reduction is mainly the result of the divestment of Gigant and Nytello during the fourth quarter last year, but adjusted for this the proportion of own brands is higher than in the corresponding period last year (17.1). This increase is driven by the successful launch of the company's own shoe brands. The launch of clothing has been delayed as a result of disruption to supplies from Asia. The proportion of own brands has increased on all markets. Currency translation effects had a positive impact on revenue of MSEK 139, mainly as a result of the development of NOK, but also of EUR. The period contained the same number of trading days as last year.
Operating profit amounted to MSEK 166 (20). EBITA (operating profit excluding items affecting comparability and amortisation of intangible assets arising in connection with corporate acquisitions) increased by 21 per cent to MSEK 181 (149), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 8.5 per cent (8.0). This improvement in profit can be seen across all countries and is driven by increased volumes, price increases that compensate for higher purchase prices and synergies. The effect is mitigated by an unfavourable country mix in the form of stronger growth in Norway and Finland than in Sweden, as well as the coordination of business systems and logistics that has been carried out in Sweden. Operating profit has been charged with items affecting comparability of MSEK 0 (-113). 1,500 2,000 2,500 7,000 8,000 9,000

Operating profit amounted to MSEK 401 (233). EBITA (operating profit excluding items affecting comparability and amortisation of intangible assets arising in connection with corporate acquisitions) increased by 16 per cent to MSEK 458 (395), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 7.1 per cent (6.6). This improvement in profit can be seen across all markets and is driven by increased volumes, better gross margins and synergies. The effect is mitigated by an unfavourable country mix in the form of stronger growth in Norway and Finland than in Sweden. Operating profit has been charged with items affecting comparability of MSEK -9 (-115), which comprise costs ahead of the separate listing of Momentum Group of MSEK 5 and severance costs in connection with a change of management in Finland of MSEK 4.
The coordination of Tools and Swedol is proceeding according to plan. The store integrations in Norway and Sweden have been completed, with the exception of two integrations that remain in Sweden. Acquisitions have increased the net total number of Alligo stores by one, from 203 to 204. The logistics operations in Sweden were coordinated during the second quarter and a common business system and pricing system were also implemented in Tools in Sweden. The relocation of logistics operations has caused disruption to the logistics processes, but will provide both cost savings and better service for customers in the long term. A common business system and pricing system were implemented in Tools in Finland during the second quarter of 2021 and there are similar plans for Tools in Norway in early 2025. During the period, MSEK 43 was utilised from the restructuring reserve. The restructuring reserve from the third quarter of 2020 amounts to MSEK 20 (originally MSEK 97). The restructuring reserve originating from the third quarter of 2021 amounts to MSEK 90, compared with an initial MSEK 108.
The effective tax rate was 21.6 per cent (21.6). Profit after financial items was MSEK 366 (194) and profit after tax was MSEK 287 (152), which corresponds to earnings per share for continuing operations of SEK 5.69 (3.00) for the period. The Group's profitability, measured as the return on equity, amounted to 15 per cent for the most recent 12-month period, corresponding to a return on capital employed of 10 per cent.
Total profit from the Group amounted to MSEK 3,868 (260), of which MSEK 287 (152) is attributable to continuing operations, MSEK 28 (108) to discontinued operations, and MSEK 3,553 to the impact on earnings of the distribution of Momentum Group.
Revenue in Sweden amounted to MSEK 1,175 (1,101). Sales have been positively affected by the acquisition of Magnusson Agentur AB and a favourable development in sales and margin in relation to small and medium-sized enterprises, while the divestment of Gigant last year and continued disruption resulting from the change of business system during the second quarter had a negative impact on sales to larger industrial customers. EBITA increased to MSEK 137 (125) and the EBITA margin to 11.7 per cent (11.4). This improvement in profit is driven by increased volumes, price increases that compensate for higher purchase prices and synergies, but is mitigated by the effects of the implementation of a common business system and the coordination of logistics processes.
Revenue in Norway amounted to MSEK 631 (497). The increase of around 27 per cent was positively affected by the acquisitions of RAF Romerike Arbeidstøy AS, Lunna AS, H E Seglem and LVH AS, favourable currency effects and good development within the oil and gas industry in particular. EBITA for the quarter amounted to MSEK 32 (21) and the EBITA margin to 5.1 per cent (4.2). The improvement in profit is driven by higher volumes and synergies. Work to develop our sales management and so improve margins was intensified during the quarter.
Revenue in Finland amounted to MSEK 375 (319). The acquisition of Liukkosen Pultti Oy made a positive contribution to this, alongside favourable currency effects and continued positive development among larger industrial customers. EBITA for the quarter amounted to MSEK 20 (8) and the EBITA margin to 5.3 per cent (2.5). The improvement in profit is driven by higher volumes, but is also the result of better sales management. The customer mix remains unfavourable, but activities are under way to increase the proportion of small and medium-sized enterprises, including by investing in stores.
Revenue in Sweden increased by approximately 2 per cent to MSEK 3,694 (3,624). Following a weak first quarter, with winter sales arriving in the fourth quarter of 2021 and small and medium-sized enterprises exercising restraint as a result of Russia's war in Ukraine, development in stores has stabilised. Development within the industrial segment, which was strong during the first quarter, has been negatively affected by a new business system through disruptions to logistics and sales processes, although these have gradually diminished.
Four stores were integrated during the period and there are now only two more remaining to be completed in the integration project. The number of stores at the end of the period was 105 (115). EBITA for the period amounted to MSEK 357 (328) and the EBITA margin to 9.7 per cent (9.1). The improvement in profit is driven by synergies and good margin development in stores, but is negatively affected by challenges within the industrial segment, which are partly the result of the integration work.
Revenue in Norway amounted to MSEK 1,847 (1,580). This increase of around 17 per cent was positively affected by the acquisitions of RAF Romerike Arbeidstøy AS, Lunna AS, H E Seglem and LVF AS, as well as positive currency effects. Following a weaker start to the year, with a high spread of infection and an early winter that particularly hit sales to small and medium-sized enterprises, demand has stabilised and, since the second quarter, there has been strong sales growth within the oil and gas industry. The number of stores at the end of the period was 60 (60). EBITA for the period amounted to MSEK 73 (51) and the EBITA margin to 4.0 per cent (3.2). The improvement in profit is driven by higher volumes and synergies. Work is ongoing to strengthen the sales and assortment management in order to improve margins.
Revenue in Finland amounted to MSEK 1,119 (956). The acquisitions of Imatran Pultti Oy and Liukkosen Pultti Oy made a positive contribution to this, alongside growth at larger industrial customers and favourable currency effects. EBITA for the period amounted to MSEK 45 (27) and the EBITA margin to 4.0 per cent (2.8). The improvement in profit is driven by higher volumes, but is also the result of the work to strengthen the sales and assortment management beginning to have an effect. The number of stores at the end of the period was 39 (38). Operating profit has been charged with items affecting comparability of MSEK 4 (0) in the form of severance costs in connection with the change of management in Finland. A new country manager for Finland has been recruited and will take up their post at the end of 2022.
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital for the reporting period totalled MSEK 651 (583). Inventories increased during the period by MSEK 283 as a result of adaptations to the range, including the rollout of own brands. This was also affected by increased product deliveries ahead of "Swedol and Tools days", as well as external factors such as increased costs for purchasing products, freight and currency. The average value of inventories was MSEK 1,961 (1,717) and the inventory turnover rate was 4.6 (4.8). Operating receivables increased by MSEK 73 and operating liabilities fell by MSEK 205. Cash flow from operating activities for the reporting period therefore amounted to MSEK 90 (318). Cash flow for the period was also impacted by a net amount of MSEK -97 (-96) pertaining to investments in and divestments of non-current assets, and by MSEK -119 (-19) pertaining to acquisitions of subsidiaries. Investments in non-current assets principally relate to the implementation of a new common business system in Sweden, the development of e-commerce solutions, store modifications in all countries and the continued expansion and automation of the Group's warehousing and logistics facility in Örebro.
At the end of the period, the Group's financial net loan liability amounted to MSEK 2,750, compared with MSEK 2,272 at the beginning of the financial year. The Group's operational net loan liability at the end of the period amounted to MSEK 1,777, compared with MSEK 1,259 at the beginning of the year. Cash and cash equivalents, including unutilised granted credit facilities, totalled MSEK 938 compared with MSEK 1,334 at the beginning of the year. The business was refinanced during the first quarter as a result of the distribution of Momentum Group. The total credit facility amounts to MSEK 2,300 and was taken up in March 2022. It runs for three years with the option to extend for one year and a further additional year thereafter. The interest is linked to STIBOR and an adjustment linked to the ratio of operational net liabilities to EBITDA. The equity/assets ratio at the end of the period was 40 per cent. Equity per share was SEK 63.61 at the end of the period, compared with SEK 67.95 at the beginning of the financial year.
Continuing operations at Alligo made four corporate acquisitions and one conveyance of assets and liabilities with closing during 2022.
On 5 January 2022, Alligo signed an agreement to acquire 100 per cent of the shares in Liukkosen Pultti Oy. Liukkosen Pultti operates a store in Lahti that sells workwear and tools and the acquisition strengthens Alligo's presence on the Finnish market. Liukkosen Pultti generates annual revenue of approximately MEUR 4.5 with favourable profitability and has 12 employees. Closing took place on 1 February 2022.
As of 8 March 2022, Alligo has acquired 100 per cent of the shares in Lunna AS, which has three stores north of Oslo and sells industrial components, tools, workwear and personal protective equipment. The acquisition strengthens Alligo's position as a leading supplier to Norwegian industry. Lunna generates annual revenue of approximately MNOK 82 with favourable profitability and has 26 employees. Closing took place in conjunction with the acquisition.
Acquisition of the industrial operations of H E Seglem AS
As of 2 June, Alligo has acquired the industrial operations of Norwegian company H E Seglem AS through a conveyance of assets and liabilities. H E Seglem's hydraulics and bunker operations are not included in the acquisition. H E Seglem has a store in Egersund in south-west Norway and sells industrial products, tools, forestry and gardening equipment, workwear and personal protective equipment. The industrial operations of H E Seglem AS generate annual revenue of approximately MNOK 40 and have eight employees. The acquisition strengthens Alligo's position in south-west Norway. Closing took place in conjunction with the acquisition.
On 1 July 2022, Alligo acquired 100 per cent of the shares in Magnusson Agentur AB, which runs a store selling corporate branded products and workwear in Vinslöv. The acquisition strengthens Alligo's position in corporate branded products and workwear. Magnussons generates annual revenue of approximately MSEK 27 with favourable profitability and has six employees. Closing took place in conjunction with the acquisition.
On 19 August 2022, Alligo acquired 100 per cent of the shares in LVH AS, a reseller of tools, consumables, workwear and personal protective equipment in Lillehammer. The acquisition strengthens Alligo's position in the Norwegian county of Innlandet. LVH AS generates annual revenue of approximately MNOK 13 and has four employees. The company will be integrated into Tools Norway. Closing took place in conjunction with the acquisition.
At the end of the period, the number of employees in the Group amounted to 2,367 (2,343), compared with 2,319 at the beginning of the year. The increase in the number of employees is the result of the net effect of the corporate acquisitions made and the divested operations.
No transactions having a material impact on the Group's position or earnings occurred between Alligo and its related parties during the period.
In accordance with a resolution at the Extraordinary General Meeting of 2 December 2021, the Group's parent company has changed its name from Momentum Group AB to Alligo AB.
At the end of the period, the Group comprised the parent company Alligo AB and a total of 25 Swedish and foreign wholly owned subsidiaries. The parent company's operations comprise Group-wide management, including Legal and Investor Relations functions. Income takes the form of a management fee from Group companies for Group-wide services and costs which the parent company has provided. Income from discontinued operations has been received for the period January to October 2021.
The parent company's revenue for the period amounted to MSEK 13 (17) and the loss after financial items totalled MSEK -21 (-11). Items affecting comparability have had an impact on profit of MSEK -4 (-5), relating to costs ahead of the separate listing of Momentum Group. The distribution of Momentum Group corresponded to the carrying amount of MSEK 43. The balance sheet total amounted to MSEK 3,984 (4,267), with equity accounting for 46 per cent (46) of total assets. The number of employees at the parent company at the end of the period was 2 (5).
Alligo's profits and financial position, as well as its strategic position, are affected by a number of internal factors over which the Group has control, as well as a number of external factors where the opportunity to influence the course of events is limited. The most significant external risk factors for Alligo are the economic and market situation, as well as the development of the number of employees in the industrial and construction sectors, combined with structural changes and the competitive situation.
The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has affected the entire global economy since spring 2020, including Alligo and its customers, suppliers and employees. The pandemic has had a negative impact on the Group's demand, but has also led to supply disruptions as a result of production shutdowns and major difficulties on the freight market. Alligo has continually taken steps to ensure an ongoing high level of availability of products and services.
Russia's war in Ukraine has increased uncertainty in the world around us and contributed to record-high energy prices in Europe. Alligo has no operations in Russia or Ukraine and only limited customer and supplier exposure. We are entering the fourth quarter with strong inflation and increasing interest rates, which have generated considerable uncertainty about the economic situation and this constitutes a risk in terms of demand on Alligo's markets. Inflation also has a significant impact on purchase prices, which Alligo continuously strives to offset by adapting our customer pricing. Purchases in dollars becoming more expensive also risks having a negative impact on margins.
For a more detailed summary of the Group's other risks and uncertainties, see pages 23–25 of the annual report for 2021. The parent company is indirectly affected by the above risks and uncertainties through its function in the Group.
Alligo has set four financial targets with a focus on profitable growth, financial stability and dividend.
>5% Organic growth
Average organic growth shall be more than 5 per cent per year over a business cycle. Further growth shall also be made through acquisitions.
>10% EBITA margin The EBITA margin shall be more than 10 per cent per year.

30–50% Dividend from net profit
The dividend as a percentage of net profit shall be 30–50 per cent, taking into account other factors such as financial position, cash flow and growth opportunities.
To become the unbeatable leader in sustainable development in our industry, Alligo has set itself five non-financial targets.

In accordance with a resolution at the Extraordinary General Meeting of 2 December 2021, the Group's parent company has changed its name from Momentum Group AB to Alligo AB. As of 15 December 2021, the listed class B share is traded under the short name ALLIGO B with the ISIN code SE0009922305 on Nasdaq Stockholm, otherwise the name change does not affect shareholders or trading in the share.
As part of the preparations for the distribution of Momentum Group, Nordstjernan requested the conversion of 498,363 Class A shares to the corresponding number of Class B shares in Alligo. This resulted in a change to the number of shares and votes in Alligo in February. At the end of the period, the share capital amounted to MSEK 102. The distribution by class of share at the end of the period on 30 September 2022 was as shown in the table below:
| CLASS OF SHARE | 30/09/2022 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Class A shares | 564,073 | |||
| Class B shares | 50,342,116 | |||
| Total number of shares before repurchasing | 50,906,189 | |||
| Less: Repurchased Class B shares | -425,300 | |||
| Total number of shares after repurchasing | 50,480,889 |
The quotient value is SEK 2.04 per share. Each Class A share entitles the holder to ten votes and each Class B share to one vote. All shares carry equal rights to the company's assets, earnings and dividends. Only the Class B share is listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. A conversion provision in the Articles of Association allows for conversion of Class A shares into Class B shares. Nordstjernan AB is the only shareholder whose shareholding provides total voting rights in excess of one-tenth of the voting rights of all the shares in the company. Nordstjernan's shareholding corresponds to 54.6 per cent of the outstanding shares and 49.6 per cent of the votes in Alligo.
In connection with the decision on the distribution and separate listing of Momentum Group, a recalculation was requested of the redemption price and the number of shares to which each outstanding call option in the programme for 2018/2022 provides entitlement according to the option terms. In May, the redemption price for the call options was calculated using an external independent valuation according to the accepted Black-Scholes model at SEK 86.20 per share (previous redemption price SEK 137.30) with entitlement to redeem 1.59 shares per option (previously 1.00 share). On 2 June, a cash redemption of the remaining 8,000 outstanding options in the programme took place for a cash sum of SEK 362,647.
The 2022 Annual General Meeting approved a call option programme containing a maximum of 185,000 options, corresponding to approximately 0.36 per cent of the total number of shares and approximately 0.33 per cent of the total number of votes in the company. The programme is designed for key personnel in senior positions and provides the opportunity to acquire call options at market price for Class B shares repurchased by Alligo. After two years, a subsidy will be paid equivalent to the premium paid for each call option (before tax) provided that the option holder's employment at the Group has not been terminated and that the call options have not been divested prior to this point. The subsidy is recognised as an accrued expense until the time when the employment condition is met. The subsidy is also charged with social security contributions. Each call option entitles the holder to acquire one (1) repurchased Class B share in the company on three occasions: 1) during the period from 2 June 2025 to 16 June 2025 inclusive, 2) during the period from 18 August 2025 to 1 September 2025 inclusive, and 3) during the period from 3 November 2025 to 17 November 2025 inclusive. The redemption price has been calculated as SEK 129.30, based on 120 per cent of the volume-weighted average price during the period 12 May to 25 May 2022. If the share price at the time the call option is exercised exceeds SEK 194.00, the redemption price shall be increased krona for krona by the amount in excess of SEK 194.00. The option premium has been calculated as SEK 7.82 by an independent third party according to the accepted Black-Scholes model.
185,000 call options have been allotted and acquired by employees on market terms. Of these, 80,000 have been acquired by the CEO and the CFO of the Group and 105,000 by other key personnel. The option premium paid totals MSEK 1.4.
As at 30 September 2022, Alligo's holding of Class B treasury shares amounted to 425,300, corresponding to 0.8 per cent of the total number of shares and 0.8 per cent of the total number of votes. There were no changes in the holding of treasury shares after the end of the period and the holding of treasury shares will be used for incentive programmes or cancelled.
An Extraordinary General Meeting on 23 March 2022 voted through a proposal from the Board of Directors to distribute all of the company's shares in Momentum Group AB to the shareholders of Alligo. This distribution contained a total of 50,480,889 shares, of which 564,073 were Class A shares and 49,916,816 were Class B shares, corresponding to all of the shares in Momentum Group. One Class A share in Alligo provided entitlement to one Class A share in Momentum Group and one Class B share in Alligo provided entitlement to one Class B share in Momentum Group.
This distribution corresponded to a total sum of MSEK 43, based on the carrying amount, constituting a dividend per share of approximately SEK 0.84. Alligo's 425,300 Class B treasury shares did not provide entitlement to allotment of shares in Momentum Group. The record date for the distribution was 25 March 2022. Momentum Group's net assets prior to distribution were MSEK 486. Remeasurement to fair value on distribution, corresponding to the market value of MSEK 4,038 of Momentum Group on listing, resulted in an impact on earnings of MSEK 3,553.

At the Extraordinary General Meeting of 2 December 2021, it was decided, in accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors, to amend Article 1 of the Articles of Association and change the company name from Momentum Group AB to Alligo AB. The new company name was registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office on 13 December.
The interim report for the Group has been prepared in accordance with IFRS, with the application of IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Securities Markets Act. Disclosures in accordance with paragraph 16A of IAS 34 are made in the financial statements and related notes, as well as in other sections of the report. The interim report for the parent company has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Securities Markets Act, which is consistent with the provisions of Recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board. The accounting policies and assessment criteria applied are the same as in the annual report for 2021.
Amounts quoted in the interim report are stated in millions of Swedish kronor (MSEK) unless otherwise indicated. Amounts in parentheses refer to the comparison period.
The operations of Momentum Group are reported in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. The distribution of Momentum Group has been reported in accordance with IFRIC 17 Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners. The shares in the discontinued operations of Momentum Group were distributed to the shareholders of Alligo with a record date of 25 March and reported as discontinued operations in accordance with IFRS 5. Discontinued operations are recognised separately from continuing operations in the income statement, with retroactive effect for earlier periods. Momentum Group's earnings up to the point of distribution, and the non-cash gain that the distribution of Momentum Group has generated in accordance with IFRIC 17, are recognised on a line in the income statement. The gain reflects the difference between the market value of Momentum Group's shares (based on the opening price on the first day of trading, 31 March 2022) and the carrying
As of Q1 2022, the Group's operating segments consist of the geographic segments of Sweden, Norway and Finland. The operating segments reflect the operational organisation, as used by Group management and the Board of Directors to monitor operations. Group-wide includes the Group's management and support functions. The support functions include Investor amount of the company on the consolidated balance sheet. The Group also reports a profit/loss after tax from the distributed operations up to the point of distribution. See Note 7 Discontinued operations for further information.
In the Q1 report for 2022, certain components that were previously recognised as revenue (approximately MSEK 58 for 2021) was reclassified as other income in order to better reflect the underlying operations.
As a result of Momentum Group (Components & Services business area) being defined as discontinued operations during Q1 2022, Alligo adapted its segment reporting so that it reflects how continuing operations are organised and monitored. As of Q1 2022, Alligo reports three operating segments: Sweden, Norway and Finland. See Note 2 Operating segments for further information.
As a result of Momentum Group (Components & Services business area) being defined as discontinued operations during Q1 2022, Alligo adapted the Group's revenue categories to better reflect the continuing operations. From the first quarter of 2022 the income categories were expanded to include an additional breakdown: own brands and external brands. See Note 3 Revenue by category for further information.
The subsidy for the call option programme 2022/2025 equivalent to the premium paid for each call option (before tax) is recognised as an accrued expense until the time when the employment condition is met. The subsidy is also charged with social security contributions.
Relations and Legal. Financial items and taxes are not broken down by operating segment and are instead reported as a whole in Group-wide. Intra-Group pricing between the operating segments takes place on market terms. The accounting policies are the same as for the consolidated financial statements.

1) The Finland operating segment also includes Estonia.
2) Items affecting comparability in Sweden and Group-wide relate to costs ahead of the separate listing of Momentum Group. Costs affecting comparability in Finland relate to severance costs in connection with a change of management.
3) Items affecting comparability in Sweden relate to restructuring costs in connection with the coordination of logistics. In Sweden, this coordination concerns the relocation of the Swedish logistics operations of Tools to Alligo's central warehouses, consisting primarily of write-downs of non-current assets and right-of-use assets (Alingsås lease agreement) and of losses on divestment of operations. Items affecting comparability in Group-wide relate to costs for advisers in connection with the investigation of the conditions for a possible division of the Group.

The Group has financial instruments valued at fair value in level 3. Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss pertain to additional purchase considerations not yet paid and at the beginning of the period amounted to MSEK 4.6. Additional purchase considerations in the amount of MSEK 1.7 were paid during the period January to September 2022. New additional purchase considerations amounted to MSEK 3.8 from the acquisition of Liukkosen Pultti Oy, MSEK 6.0 from the acquisition of Magnusson Agentur AB and MSEK 0.5 from the acquisition of LVH AS. Additional purchase considerations not yet paid amounted to MSEK 13.0 at the end of the period. In all cases, the additional purchase considerations are based on gross profit for the years 2022, 2023 and 2024. The additional purchase considerations are valued at fair value, where an evaluation is made of whether they will be paid at the agreed amounts. In line with a valuation on 30 September 2022, additional purchase considerations not yet paid have been revalued by a net amount of MSEK -0.3. The fair value of the Group's financial assets and liabilities is estimated to be the same as their carrying amount. The Group does not use net recognition for any of its material assets or liabilities. There were no transfers between levels or measurement categories during the period.

Alligo made four corporate acquisitions with closing during the first nine months of 2022. None of these acquisitions is deemed significant enough to require a separate presentation of the acquisition analysis.
During the period, the acquired companies contributed MSEK 92 to the Group's revenue and MSEK 4 to the Group's EBITA. Calculated as if closing had taken place on 1 January 2022, the acquired companies have contributed MSEK 129 to the Group's revenue and MSEK 4 to the Group's EBITA. The total purchase consideration for the acquisitions amounted to MSEK 107, of which MSEK 10 comprised additional purchase considerations. The additional purchase considerations were measured at fair value, where it was determined that they will be paid at the agreed amount, totalling MSEK 10. Acquisition costs of approximately MSEK 2 were recognised as other operating expenses in 2022.
As of 2 June, Alligo has acquired the industrial operations of Norwegian company H E Seglem AS through a conveyance of assets and liabilities. H E Seglem's hydraulics and bunker operations are not included in the acquisition. H E Seglem has a store in Egersund in southwest Norway and sells industrial products, tools, forestry and gardening equipment, workwear and personal protective equipment. The industrial operations of H E Seglem AS generate annual revenue of approximately MNOK 40 and have eight employees. The acquisition strengthens Alligo's position in south-west Norway. Closing took place in conjunction with the acquisition.
Calculated as if closing had taken place on 1 January 2022, the acquired operations have contributed MSEK 32 to the Group's revenue and MSEK 2 to the Group's EBITA.
The purchase consideration totalled MSEK 21, with no additional purchase consideration. Acquisition costs of approximately MSEK 0.3 were recognised as other operating expenses. Recognised goodwill of MSEK 6 is expected to be tax-deductible in its entirety.
Additional purchase considerations of MSEK 1.7 were paid during the period.
Some of the surplus value in the preliminary acquisition analyses presented on page 20 has been allocated to customer relations, while the unallocated surplus value has been assigned to goodwill. Goodwill relates to unidentifiable intangible assets and synergies within procurement, logistics, IT and administration, for example, that are expected to arise as a result of the acquisition. Goodwill has an indefinable useful life and is not amortised but is tested for impairment annually or where there are indications of a decline in value. The estimated value of customer relations is amortised over an estimated useful life of 10 years.
The main reason why the acquisition analyses are considered to be preliminary is that only a short time has passed since the acquisitions.

Alligo's subsidiary Momentum Group AB (Components & Services business area) was classified during the fourth quarter of 2021 as discontinued operations and since then has been recognised in accordance with the applicable accounting policies of IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. The distribution of the business was completed during the first quarter of 2022, when Momentum Group was distributed to the shareholders and listed on Nasdaq Stockholm on 31 March 2022. Momentum Group's net assets prior to distribution were MSEK 486. Remeasurement to fair value on distribution, corresponding to the market value of MSEK 4,038 of Momentum Group on listing, resulted in an impact on earnings of MSEK 3,553.
Momentum Group is recognised as discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The comparison periods have been recalculated according to the same principles. The profit/loss of Momentum Group has been excluded from the individual rows of the consolidated income statement and the net profit/loss is instead reported as "Profit/loss for the period, discontinued operations". On the balance sheet as at 31 December 2021, assets and liabilities relating to Momentum Group are recognised as "Discontinued operations, assets held for distribution" and "Discontinued operations, liabilities held for distribution" respectively. Information on the income statement, balance sheet and cash flows for discontinued operations is presented below.

This interim report has been reviewed by the company's auditors.
The information in this report is such that Alligo AB (publ) is obliged to publish under the EU Market Abuse Regulation. The information was submitted for publication through the agency of the Chief Executive Officer on 28 October 2022 at 08:00 CEST.
To the Board of Directors of Alligo AB (publ.), Corp. id. 559072-1352:
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Alligo AB (publ.) as of 30 September 2022 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

Alligo uses certain financial key performance indicators in its analysis of the business and its performance that are not calculated in accordance with IFRS. The company believes that these alternative key performance indicators provide valuable information for the company's Board of Directors, owners and investors, as they enable a more accurate assessment of current trends and Alligo's performance when combined with other key performance indicators calculated in accordance with IFRS. As not all listed companies calculate these financial key performance indicators in the same way, there is no guarantee that the information is comparable with other companies' key performance indicators of the same name. Hence, these financial key performance indicators must not be viewed as a replacement for those measures calculated in accordance with IFRS.
