Net sales increased by 28 percent, with organic growth in all countries, while EBITA increased by 25 percent. My assessment is that Bravida is well positioned for the coming quarter, with a large service business and a good order backlog.
I am very pleased with the organic growth in all countries during the quarter, which totalled 20 percent. We have grown strongly in service as well as in installation, where we are producing from a good order backlog. The service business grew by an impressive 28 percent, largely based on recurring service assignments.
The order intake increased overall during the quarter, based on high sales for service. As planned, the order backlog in Norway and Denmark is decreasing from very high levels, but the Group's order backlog remains good and increased in Sweden and Finland.
The EBITA margin remained stable. It was unchanged in Sweden and Finland, declined in Denmark and improved in Norway. Denmark and Norway have had very high growth in the past year, mainly in installation, which has led to some challenges in maintaining the margin.
Cash flow and cash generation decreased during the quarter, mainly due to the high growth, which ties up capital in increased trade receivables. In addition, several major projects for which we had already received advance payments caught up with these payments and entered the later stages, while only a few new major projects involving advance payments started up. We have also brought forward the purchase of materials in some projects to secure delivery and prices, which also tied up capital. However, I believe that the cash flow will gradually improve during the year.
We currently see no significant payment problems among our customers, but our monitoring of credit has increased due to the deterioration in the economy.
We see further opportunities for acquisitions, as several market participants may need to sell off businesses operations. With its strong balance sheet and low debt, Bravida can utilise the acquisition opportunities that may arise in a tougher economic environment.
I am proud to report that, as one of the first operators to do so in our industry, we have taken an important step forward in our sustainability work by joining the Science Based Targets initiative. We have also agreed contracts for the supply of electricity from renewable energy sources to our offices in Sweden, Finland and Denmark. We are gradually replacing the existing electricity contracts for our offices with contracts that ensure renewable electricity. The switch from fossil-fuelled vehicles to electric vehicles is continuing and electric vehicles now make up 15 percent of the vehicle fleet. During the quarter, we unfortunately saw a slight increase in occupational injuries resulting in sick leave in Sweden and Denmark. The safety of our employees is our top priority and we are continuing our efforts to further strengthen our safety culture.
We have invested in a new purchasing system, which has been launched in Finland and in parts of the Swedish business.

"Bravida remains stable in an uncertain market"
The system will improve and simplify purchasing, sales and, in the future, the reporting of sustainable materials.
In April, Bravida began installation work on the Stockholm Bypass road tunnel project. Production is expected to take place between 2023 and 2028. Bravida's contract includes installation of the electricity supply, lighting, heating and sprinkler systems. The remaining order value amounts to just over SEK 2.6 billion.
Macroeconomic factors such as high inflation, higher interest rates and a deteriorating economy make the market difficult to assess going forwards. For Bravida, however, I believe that the demand for service will remain good. Demand for installation work is more influenced by the macroeconomic environment, for example high interest rates and high inflation could result in investment decisions being postponed.
We note that there is increased competition in the market. Due to continued inflation, there is a risk of cost increases being underestimated and projects being procured at prices that are too low. Bravida's focus on margin before volume means that we will be very strict in our project selection going forward.
Installation volumes relating to new residential construction will decrease significantly during the year, and installation work in offices, restaurants and retail is also expected to decrease. Installation work in new-build community properties, industrial and logistics premises is stabilising the market. The market for renovation and extension work is expected to remain stable, with support from energy and climate adaptation measures.
The green transition and digitalisation of society are creating good business opportunities for us. Electrification, digitalisation and the need for energy efficiency in buildings are creating a demand for our services, which means Bravida is well positioned for the future.
Stockholm, May 2023
The market prospects for installation in the Nordic region are difficult to assess as the high inflation, rising interest rates and weaker development of the economy will affect investment decisions relating to real estate, in particular residential properties. External estimates point to a decrease in installation volume of around 5 percent in 2023, mainly due to lower production of new built homes. Service volumes are expected to remain stable in 2023.
Positive effects are expected to result from an increased focus on sustainable investments and energy optimisation.

Bravida Holding AB's ordinary shares are listed on the Nasdaq Stockholm Large Cap list. On 31 March Bravida had 11,540 shareholders. The five largest shareholders were Mawer Investment Management, Swedbank Robur Funds, the Fourth Swedish National Pension Fund (AP4), Handelsbanken Funds and Didner & Gerge Funds.
Mawer Investment Management's holding amounted to just over 10 percent of the votes. The listed share price at 31 March was SEK 116.80, which corresponds to a market capitalisation of SEK 23,795 million based on the number of ordinary shares. Total shareholder return over the past 12 months was 10 percent. The share capital totals SEK 4 million, divided among 204,916,598 shares, of which 203,722,271 are ordinary shares and 1,194,327 are class C shares, which are held by Bravida Holding AB. Ordinary shares entitle holders to one vote and a dividend payment, while C shares entitle holders to one-tenth of a vote and no dividend.
Changes in market conditions, financial turmoil and political decisions are the external factors that mainly affect demand for new construction of housing and commercial property, as well as investment from industry and the public sector. Demand for service and maintenance is less sensitive to economic fluctuations. Operating risks are related to day-to-day business opera tions such as tendering, price risks, capacity utilisation and revenue recognition. Management of these risks is part of Bravida's business process. Recognition over time is applied and is based 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 for 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.
Developments in Ukraine are at the centre of the global situation. In addition to the tragedy of the war for the people affected, the situation risks dampening macroeconomic growth in the rest of the world. For Bravida, the industry may be affected
by increased uncertainty and caution regarding investments, as well as continued high prices for materials and energy. Bravida has no direct exposure to Ukraine or Russia in terms of sales or purchases. We are closely monitoring developments in order to be able to continuously assess possible indirect impacts.
No transactions with related parties outside the Group took place during the period.
An agreement has been signed regarding the acquisition of a company in Finland that works with electrical installations. The purchase takes place on 1 May.
Bravida is committed to defining short-term and long-term emission targets for the whole company under the Science Based Targets initiative, SBTi.
In April, the Board took the decision to convert 400,000 class C shares into ordinary shares so that they could be granted to participants in the 2020 long-term incentive programme.
At the Annual General Meeting on April 28, it was resolved, in accordance with the Nomination Committee's proposal, to re-elect Fredrik Arp, Cecilia Daun Wennborg, Jan Johansson, Marie Nygren, Staffan Påhlsson and Karin Stålhandske as members of the Board for the period until the end of the next Annual General Meeting.
The following Board proposals were approved:
Bravida completed an acquisition in Finland on 1 May with sales of approximately SEK 20 million.
In Denmark, an agreement has been signed for the acquisition of a company with sales of approximately SEK 50 million, which is to be completed in May.

Reported occupational injuries that led to at least one day of sickness absence increased by 3 percent over the past 12 months to an LTIFR of 7.5 (7.3). LTIFR was 7.4 (6.9) in Sweden, 2.6 (3.3) in Norway, 11.5 (10.6) in Denmark and 12.5 (15.2) in Finland.
Bravida Sweden placed a large order for electric vehicles in November before the abolition of the environmental bonus, which has meant that the need for new electric vehicles during the quarter is partly covered by call offs made from the order placed in November. This means that the figure for electric vehicles ordered during the quarter is lower than previously.
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a global organisation that enables companies to set ambitious emission reduction targets. The targets are based on the latest climate science and the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees.
Bravida joined the organisation in March and the commitment includes defining short-term and long-term emission reduction targets for the entire company in accordance with SBTi. As the leading service and installation company in the Nordic region, taking responsibility for reducing our climate impact is an important step forward in our sustainability work.

The company presents certain financial measures in this quarterly 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.

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 a lot of projects are completed during that 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.
