1Unless otherwise indicated, all information in this interim report refers to continuing operations, excluding the distribution of Momentum Group. All figures relating to the income statement refer to continuing operations, with retroactivity from 1 April 2016. All figures relating to the balance sheet refer to continuing operations from 1 April 2017, without retroactivity for earlier periods.
The first quarter of the operating year was highly eventful, characterised by the all-important distribution of Momentum Group to the company's shareholders. The distribution of the operating segment has created a clearer focus on the Group's leading brands and better conditions for our future development.
Revenue for the quarter amounted to MSEK 1.017 (1.012). Our acquired units contributed according to plan. The result was nevertheless a decrease of 9 percentage points for comparable units. Demand was impacted by the high number of public holidays and revenue was affected by a decline in sales to the TOOLS chain, where we implemented a planned change to our supplier agreements for goods for resale, which were previously through-invoiced by Bergman & Beving.
EBITA for the quarter amounted to MSEK 56 (80). The Building Materials operating segment, including ESSVE and Fireseal, performed well during the quarter and delivered higher operating profit and an improved operating margin. The reversal of a previously reserved intra-Group gain on sales to Momentum Group had a positive impact on net profit. However, Bergman & Beving's total earnings were impacted negatively by the robust measures taken in connection with the ongoing transition of the Group and a large restructuring reserve was made for this purpose.
The structural measures include investments in resources for growth and adaptation to new market conditions through the discontinuation of unprofitable ranges, organisational changes and a provision for unutilised premises. Actions to improve profitability are mainly focused on the subsidiary Luna and include outsourcing of the company's logistics to automated logistic solutions to enable both improved efficiency and quality. In the future, these measures will contribute to an increased operating margin in both the current and upcoming operating years.
Arbesko, the Nordic region's leading brand of safety and work footwear, was acquired in April and UVECO, a specialist in sheet-metal working that markets a complete range of tools for the attractive niche of construction and ventilation sheet-metal working, was acquired in July. Combined, these two acquisitions contribute annual revenue of approximately MSEK 225.
Combined with a clear decentralised business responsibility and increased focus on our strong brands, the rationalisations carried out have created a solid foundation for profitable growth and successful development of our various operations.
Stockholm, July 2017
Pontus Boman President & CEO
Bergman & Beving acquires and supplies strong brands for industry and the construction sector. The Group comprises three operating segments: Building Materials, Workplace Safety and Tools & Consumables. Group-wide includes the Group's management, finance, logistics, IT and legal affairs functions.
Revenue for the first quarter increased by to MSEK 1,017 (1,012). Revenue for comparable units, measured in local currency and adjusted for the number of trading days, decreased by 9 percent during the quarter, mainly due to a decline in through-invoicing to the TOOLS chain. In the short term, this planned transition will mainly impact revenue in Workplace Safety and Tools & Consumables. In the long term, the business strength of all units in each segment is instead expected to increase. Sales to other customers increased during the period and several of our product brands have further strengthened their market shares.
Operating profit in the first quarter amounted to MSEK 54 (80). Adjusted for items affecting comparability, operating profit totalled MSEK 52 (80). This weaker result is mainly attributable to lower revenue and investments in resources for growth.
Items affecting comparability pertained to a reversal of intra-Group gains of MSEK +75 in conjunction with the separate listing of Momentum Group. Following the separate listing of Momentum Group, there are no internal sales from Bergman & Beving to Momentum Group. As of the listing date, all sales instead constitute external revenue. As a result, historically generated intra-Group inventory gains have now been reversed and will have a positive impact on earnings. At the same time, a restructuring reserve of MSEK-70 has also been recognised, distributed between various units. The reserve is intended to structural measures and the rationalisation of operations in the Tools & Consumables and Workplace Safety operating segments as required in order to adapt to new market conditions. The reserve includes a provision for unutilised premises. Finally, earnings during the quarter were impacted by ongoing distribution and listing costs amounting to -3 MSEK.
Exchange-rate translation effects had a net impact of MSEK +2 (-2) on operating profit. The operating margin was 5.3 percent (7.9). Profit after financial items amounted to MSEK 48 (78) and net profit to MSEK 37 (60) for the quarter, corresponding to earnings per share of SEK 1.30 (2.15).

ESSVE continued to report overall favourable growth and to capture market shares in the construction and industrial sectors. The underlying earnings growth remained favourable and increased by more than 10 percent during the quarter, compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year. The segment's operating profit was negatively impacted by items affecting comparability amounting to approximately MSEK-2.
Revenue during the quarter was impacted positively by the acquisition of Arbesko. Demand from customers in the area of construction materials continued to increase, while sales by Skydda were impacted negatively by a decline in through-invoicing within the TOOLS chain. At the same time, the market position for our proprietary product brands within the segment continued to improve. The segment's operating profit was negatively impacted by items affecting comparability amounting to approximately MSEK-9 related to the transition of the operations.
Luna's revenue decreased during the quarter, with a continued increase in demand from the area of construction materials, while sales were negatively impacted by a decline in through-invoicing to the TOOLS chain. On 1 April 2017, Luna and Grunda were coordinated into a single product and sales organisation. In order to boost its competitiveness, Luna signed an agreement for logistics management with an external party during the quarter. TengTools continued to display strong. The segment's operating profit was negatively impacted by items affecting comparability amounting to approximately MSEK 12 related to the transition of the operations.
Operating profit for Group-wide amounted to MSEK 18 MSEK (-3) for the quarter. Following the separate listing of Momentum Group, there are no internal sales from Bergman & Beving to Momentum Group. As of the listing date, all sales instead constitute external revenue. As a result, historically generated intra-Group inventory gains, for which a provision was made in earlier years, can now be reversed and amount to approximately MSEK +75.
A remaining restructuring reserve of MSEK-48 and ongoing distribution and listing costs of MSEK-3 were recognised in Group-wide. The reserve primarily pertains to the transition of the operations in the logistics unit as a result of Luna's agreement with an external logistics partner as well as a provision for unutilised premises.
The Parent Company's revenue amounted to MSEK 9 (9) and profit after financial items to MSEK 5 (14). These results do not include any Group contributions, intra-Group dividends or other corresponding items.
At the end of the financial year, the number of employees in the Group amounted to 1,096, compared with 1,018 at the beginning of the year. As a result of acquisitions carried out during the period, the number of employees increased by 120.
On 3 April, Bergman & Beving acquired all shares in Arbesko-Gruppen AB (Arbesko). With its own product development and production operations in Sweden, Arbesko is one of the strongest brands of safety and work footwear in the Nordic region. Arbesko generates annual revenue of approximately MSEK 200 and has approximately 120 employees. The acquisition is expected to have a marginally positive effect on Bergman & Beving's earnings per share during the 2017/18 financial year. The acquisition of Arbesko has strengthened the product portfolio in the Workplace Safety segment. Acquisition-related costs of approximately MSEK 3 have been recognised as other operating expenses in profit or loss.
Since the balance sheet historically includes Momentum Group, cash flow and return measures are not representative for assessing the remaining operation.
The Group's reported profitability, measured as the return on working capital (P/WC), amounted to 13 percent for the most recent 12-month period (14 at the beginning of the year). The Group's profitability, (P/WC), based on the working capital as per end of the quarter and the EBITA for the most recent 12-month period amounted to 20 percent. The reported return on capital employed was 7 percent (8 at the beginning of the year) and the return on equity was 7 percent (7 at the beginning of the year). All figures relating to the income statement refer to continuing operations, with retroactivity from 1 April 2016. All figures relating to the balance sheet refer to continuing operations from 1 April 2017, without retroactivity for earlier periods.
Cash flow from operating activities for continuing operations and before changes in working capital for the financial year amounted to MSEK 19 (122), with Momentum Group included in cash flow for the preceding year. Funds tied up in working capital decreased by MSEK 9. During the year, inventories decreased by MSEK 5 and operating receivables by MSEK 51. Operating liabilities declined by MSEK 47. Cash flow from discontinued operations amounted to MSEK 14. Accordingly, cash flow from operating activities for the year amounted to MSEK 42 (147), with Momentum Group included in cash flow for the preceding year.
Cash flow for the financial year was also impacted in a net amount of MSEK-8 (-18) pertaining to investments and divestments of non-current assets, and a net amount of MSEK-188 (-6) pertaining to the acquisition and divestment of subsidiaries and other operations.
At the end of the period, the Group's operational net loan liability amounted to MSEK 201 (105). Interestbearing liabilities totalled MSEK 277 (173), excluding expensed pension obligations of MSEK 568 (562). Liabilities to credit institutions amounted to MSEK 201 (105), net.
In conjunction with the distribution and listing of Momentum Group, Bergman & Beving replaced its earlier financing. The new financing comprises a committed credit facility of MSEK 400 and a revolving credit facility of MSEK 500. Cash and cash equivalents, including unutilised granted credit facilities, totalled MSEK 702 $(995).$
The equity/assets ratio at the end of the reporting period was 47 percent, compared with 49 percent at the beginning of the year.
Equity per share totalled SEK 61.40 at the end of the financial year, compared with SEK 96.80 at the beginning of the year. Equity per share after dilution totalled SEK 61.40 at the end of the financial year, compared with SEK 96.80 at the beginning of the year.
The Swedish tax rate, which also applies to the Parent Company, was 22 percent during the financial year. The Group's normalised tax rate, with its current geographic mix, is approximately 23 percent.
At the end of the financial year, share capital totalled MSEK 56.9. The distribution by class of share is as follows:
| Class of share | As of 30 June |
|---|---|
| 2017 | |
| Class A shares | 1,063,780 |
| Class B shares | 27,372,636 |
| Total number of shares before repurchasing | 28,436,416 |
| Less: Repurchased Class B shares | $-171,000$ |
| Total number of shares after repurchasing | 28,265,416 |
As of 31 March 2017, the number of Class B shares held in treasury totalled 184,300. During the financial year, a total of 13,300 treasury shares were conveyed in connection with the exercise of call options. Accordingly, the number of Class B shares held in treasury as of 30 June 2017 amounted to 171,000, corresponding to 0.6 percent of the total number of shares and 0.5 percent of the total number of votes. The shares held in treasury are reserved to cover the company's obligations in the call option programme issued to senior management in the Group in September 2014. The number will be adjusted taking into account the distribution of Momentum Group.
Bergman & Beving distributed the shares in Momentum Group to the shareholders in Bergman & Beving on a proportional basis (1:1), meaning that for each Class A share in Bergman & Beving the shareholders received one Class A share in Momentum Group and for each Class B share in Bergman & Beving the shareholders received one Class B share in Momentum Group.

Other than the aforementioned distribution of Momentum Group, no other transactions having a material impact on the Group's position or earnings occurred between Bergman & Beving and its related parties during the financial year.
During the financial year, no significant changes occurred with respect to risks and uncertainties, for either the Group or the Parent Company. For information about the Group's risks and uncertainties, refer to page 15 of B&B TOOLS' Annual Report for 2016/2017.
This Interim Report 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. 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.
In the 2016/2017 operating year, the Group comprised two segments: Bergman & Beving and Momentum Group. Following the listing of the Momentum Group operating segment in the first quarter, a new division of segments was carried out in the continuing operations, Bergman & Beving.

Bergman & Beving AB uses certain financial performance measures in its analysis of the operations and their performance that are not calculated in accordance with IFRS. The company believes that these performance measures provide valuable information for investors, since they enable a more accurate assessment of current trends when combined with other key financial ratios calculated in accordance with IFRS. Since listed companies do not always calculate these performance measures in the same way, there is no guarantee that the information is comparable with other companies' performance measures of the same name.
Comparable units refer to sales in local currency from units that were part of the Group during the current period and the entire corresponding period in the preceding year. Trading days refer to sales in local currency depending on the difference the number of trading days compared with the comparative period.
