Organic growth in Sweden, Denmark and Finland. Order intake grew by 12 percent, fuelled by good service demand, which grew in the quarter. Improved demand for installation projects increased the order backlog by SEK 510 million.
Given strong comparative figures and a continued negative impact from the pandemic, mainly in Norway, I am satisfied with performance in the quarter.
Net sales increased by 3 percent in the quarter. Sales within service increased in all countries, while installation project volumes decreased in Norway and Denmark. However, we note a positive trend at the end of the quarter mainly in Denmark.
The service business grew by 13 percent, contributing to organic growth of almost half a percentage point. We are reporting organic growth in all countries apart from Norway, which was affected by increased lockdowns at the start of the quarter.
The lower production rate in the installation business was due to the weaker order intake in 2020. Some delays in project planning and start-up by customers also contributed to lower activity. The order backlog for installation projects grew by SEK 1.1 billion in the first half of the year, which will lead to increased production volumes over the next few quarters.
The EBITA margin, which was unchanged at 5.9 percent, improved in Sweden and Finland and was unchanged in Norway and Denmark. Our Finnish operations continue to move in a positive direction as a result of good project selection and increased service activities, as well as a stronger market position.
Operating cash flow decreased in the quarter. Last year cash flow reached a historic high, which was due to very low levels of working capital. This year we see a normalisation in the working capital in the first two quarters compared with last year, which is leading to lower cash flow from operating activities. Working capital in relation to net sales remains at a good level of -6.8 percent.
We also have some large outstanding receivables in Denmark from two public-sector customers, which have had a negative impact on cash flow during the year. These projects are in their final phase of production and the disputes will be settled by an arbitral tribunal. Our assesment is that these are not expected to have any significant impact on earnings.
So far in 2021, we have completed 10 acquisitions, including one in July, with total annual sales of around SEK 584 million.
As previously announced, we have signed a letter of intent to acquire the Minel Group in Norway. The letter of intent is valid until 30 September 2021, but both parties agree that the preconditions for completing the deal do not currently exist. Our assessment is that acquisition opportunities generally
remain very good.
"During the quarter, service sales
Our increased focus on sustainable services has resulted in the launch of GreenHub and Bravida Charge. GreenHub is a fossil-free service concept that we offer our customers in nine cities across the Nordic region. March saw the introduction of Bravida Charge, a complete solution for electric car charging and payment management. Demand is good and the first deliveries were made in the second quarter.
Our own climate footprint has the highest focus and as part of that, our fleet will consist of at least 30 percent fossil-free vehicles by 2025. More than 160 electric vehicles have been ordered so far this year.
We are seeing a clear recovery in the service business and demand has normalised in the quarter, following a considerable decline in 2020 due to the pandemic. Demand for installations improved in the spring. The installation business is seeing growing demand for new-builds and the refurbishment of residential, industrial and warehouse buildings, as well as the remodelling and upgrading of office space.
As everyone is aware and as previously announced, raw material prices are rising sharply and there is a risk of material shortages in some areas. Bravida has a good system for dealing with this. We work with both contracts and long-term partnerships on the supplier side and with price increases in respect of customers. We therefore see no significant risk that higher commodity prices will affect our margin in the longer term.
The market outlook improved during the quarter and demand for sustainable low-carbon solutions will contribute to a growing market.

to fewer project starts with initially good cash flows. In addition, projects that initially had good payment plans have progressed further in terms of completion, naturally leading to them having lower cash flow.

on the extent of completion of each project and the expected date of completion. A well-developed process for the monitoring of projects is essential in limiting the risk of incorrect revenue recognition. Bravida continually monitors the financial status of each project to ensure that individual project calculations are not exceeded. The Group is also exposed to impairment loss risks in fixed-price contracts and various types of financial risk such as currency, interest rate and credit risk.
No transactions with related parties outside the Group took place during the period.
On 1 July, the acquisition of Dala Klimat, with sales of SEK 10 million and 4 employees, took place.

As Bravida's fleet of vehicles goes electric, alternative transport options are also being expanded across the Group as of 1 September. Our GreenHub concept focuses solely on electric bicycles, electric mopeds and walking. It reduces both our own and our customers' carbon footprint, making GreenHub a sustainable investment.
GreenHub was launched in Oslo in autumn 2020 and has been a huge success. The project is now being extended to eight more of the Nordic region's larger cities; Stockholm,
Gothenburg, Bergen, Trondheim, Kristiansand, Copenhagen, Aarhus and Helsinki. Bravida will be the green service partner in the heart of the Nordic region's largest cities. The aim is to contribute in every we can towards achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goals for 2030.
GreenHub will only ever be 15 minutes away from customers, ensuring quick delivery of our services. Delivery times are also reduced by avoiding traffic jams and not having to find parking spaces.
GreenHub will open in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Copenhagen, Aarhus, Helsinki and Trondheim on 1 September 2021.
Another initiative from Bravida is the launch of Bravida Charge, a comprehensive solution for electric vehicles. Bravida Charge includes the installation of the charging point, operation, monitoring, remote support and payment solution, controlled via an app. Bravida Charge meets the growing need for an electrified infrastructure for both business customers and private individuals.
Bravida Charge allows us to help our customers reduce their carbon footprint while also cutting our own emissions, as at least 30% of Bravida's service vehicles will be fossil free by 2025.
Bravida Charge is currently available in Sweden and Denmark, and will soon be launched in Finland and Norway.

The company presents certain financial measures in this interim report that are not defined under IFRS. The company considers that these indicators provide valuable additional information for investors and the company's management as they allow relevant trends to be assessed. Bravida's definitions of these indicators may differ from other companies' definitions of the same terms. These financial measures should therefore be regarded as complementary rather than replacing the measures defined under IFRS. See page 20 for definitions of key performance indicators.

This is a translation of the Swedish Interim Report of Bravida Holding AB. In the event of inconsistency between the English and the Swedish versions, the Swedish version shall prevail.
This interim report for the Group has been prepared in accordance with International Reporting Standards (IFRS) using IAS 34 Interim Reporting. The parent company applies Recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities and Chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding interim reports. The accounting policies applied are consistent with what is set out in the 2020 annual accounts.
The IASB has published supplements to standards effective from 1 January 2021 or later. Such supplements have not had any material impact on Bravida's financial statements.
All amounts in this interim report are stated in millions of Swedish kronor (SEK), unless specified otherwise, and rounding differences may therefore occur.

Bravida normally uses an acquisition structure with a fixed purchase price and contingent consideration. The contingent consideration is initially valued at the likely final amount, which for the year's acquisitions is SEK 69 million. The contingent considerations are due for payment within three to five years. The acquisitions are reported in aggregate form in the table below as individually they are not of sufficient size to justify separate recognition of each acquisition.
The acquisition analyses of acquired companies in 2021 are preliminary.

| Intangible assets | 2 |

| Consideration | 371 |
*There are no material impairments of trade receivables. **Of the total consideration recognised as a liability, SEK 69 million consists of contingent consideration.
Bravida has made one acquisition since the end of the period. In July, Dala Klimat was acquired in Sweden, with 4 employees and sales of approximately SEK 10 million.
Bravida's business is affected by seasonal variations in the construction industry and employees' annual holiday. Bravida usually has a lower level of activity in the third quarter as it is the main holiday period. The fourth quarter normally has the highest earnings because many projects are completed during this period.
The fair value of the Group's financial assets and liabilities is not materially different from carrying amounts. No items other than the contingent consideration are recognised at fair value in the balance sheet.
The Board and the Chief Executive Officer hereby confirm that the report gives a true and fair overview of the development of the parent company's and Group's activities, their financial position and earnings, and describes significant risks and uncertainties faced by the parent company and the companies included in the Group.

12-month rolling net profit/loss as a percentage of average equity.
Operating profit excluding amortisation and impairment of non-current intangible assets. EBITA is the key ratio and performance indicator that is used for internal operational monitoring. EBITA provides an overall view of profit generated by operating activities.
EBITA as a percentage of net sales.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation. EBITDA is a measure that the Group regards as relevant for investors who want to understand earnings generation before investments in non-current assets.
Recognised tax expense as a percentage of profit/loss before tax.
Equity attributable to equity holders of the parent company divided by the number of ordinary shares outstanding at period end.
Total exchange differences on borrowing and cash and cash equivalents in foreign currency, other financial revenue and other finance costs.
(Net debt/EBITDA) Net debt divided by EBITDA excluding specific costs, based on a rolling 12-month calculation.
A healthy capital structure provides a solid basis for continued business operations. The capital structure should enable a high degree of financial flexibility and provide scope for acquisitions.
activities per share Cash flow from operating activities for the period, divided by the number of shares at period end.
Total 12-month EBITDA, change in working capital and investment in plant and equipment, as well as adjustment for non-cash items in EBITDA in relation to 12-month EBIT (operating profit).
This key ratio measures the percentage of profit that is converted into cash flow. The purpose is to analyse what percentage of earnings can be converted into cash and cash equivalents and, in the longer term, the opportunity for investments, acquisitions and dividends, with the exception of interest-related cash flows.
Net sales are recognised in accordance with the principle of recognition over time, rather than using the previous percentage-of-completion method. These revenues are recognised in proportion to the degree of completion of projects.
Interest-bearing liabilities (including lease liabilities, excluding pension liabilities), less cash and cash equivalents. This key figure is a measure to show the Group's total interest-bearing debt.
The change in sales adjusted for currency effects, as well as acquisitions and disposals compared with the same period of the previous year. Sales from acquisitions and divestments are eliminated for a period of 12 months from the date of acquisition or divestment.
Operating profit/loss adjusted for non-cash items, investments in machinery and equipment and changes in working capital.
The value of new projects and contracts received, and changes in existing projects and contracts over the period in question. Includes both installation and service business.
The value of remaining, not yet accrued project revenues from orders on hand at the end of the period. Order backlog only includes installation projects, not service operations.
Profit/loss for the period attributable to shareholders of the parent company divided by the average number of outstanding ordinary shares after dilution.
Profit/loss for the period attributable to owners of the parent company divided by the average number of outstanding ordinary shares.
Profit/loss after financial items plus interest expense, divided by interest expense. This key ratio is a measure of how much earnings may fall by without interest payments being jeopardised or how much interest on borrowing may increase without operating profit turning negative.
Total current assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents, minus current liabilities excluding current provisions and interest-bearing short-term borrowing, and current lease liabilities. This measure shows how much working capital is tied up in the business and may be set in relation to sales to understand how efficiently tied-up working capital is being used.
Operating profit/loss as a percentage of net sales.
Earnings net financial income/ expense and tax.
Equity including non-controlling interests as a percentage of total assets.
Transactions and items that are irregular in terms of occurrence and amount and thereby have an impact on earnings and ratios.
