To begin with, I am pleased to conclude yet another quarter with positive momentum in aviation, particularly for domestic and continental travel. Business sentiment was also encouraged by the fact that the world is finally getting ready to resume intercontinental travel. During the quarter, several key markets have taken steps to open for vaccinated travelers in November and December. This is all good news for CTT. Although not materialized into orders, the healthier business environment during the quarter is reflected in our airline retrofit prospect log and in stronger private jet demand.
Third-quarter net sales were MSEK 40, an increase of 7% compared to the previous quarter, driven by higher aftermarket demand, now logging 76% compared to the average quarter in 2019, and by increased retrofit deliveries. This was offset primarily by declined OEM-sales, caused by the expected and temporary 787-production-rate-cut at Boeing. Aftermarket sales accounting for approximately 70% of total net sales aided a stronger EBIT-margin.
Fourth-quarter net sales are forecasted to be MSEK 40 – 45 (implying FY2021 net sales of MSEK 149 – 154). Retrofit is heading for the highest quarterly deliveries since first quarter 2019. OEM will face another weak quarter, impacted by the already mentioned temporary 787-production-rate-cut by Boeing.
I expect that we will soon start to convert prospects into orders, primarily in retrofit and private jet. That will drive our sales in 2022 and enable higher growth rate.
Retrofit outlook has improved in the quarter, especially for the anti-condensation system. Our weight saving system gains traction when sustainability is getting more important to airlines, pushed by rescue financiers, governments and passengers. Investment decisions in our green technology is backed by longer pay-off time for sustainability projects and with oil price at a 7-year high. Spurred by better business sentiment and with sustainability as top priority at many airlines in Europe, we have resumed pre-pandemic discussions with some airlines, restarted trials and also renewed airline contacts. Besides winning new customers, we also have opportunities among existing ones, such as jet2.com that recently placed an order for 51 A321 aircraft with deliveries from 2023. In addition, we have a sales opportunity with Pobeda if pursuing plans to add 40 aircraft.
Another growth segment is private jet, short-term driven by VIP. The huge opportunity is in large business jets that significantly shall increase our addressable market (compared to pre-covid size). But this is conditional on availability at the OEM's. First, we target to be selected by Airbus Corporate Jets and Bombardier.
OEM is bottoming-out and next year it is likely that we will start the recovery. I calculate with a ramp-up of our deliveries to Airbus A350, MC-21 and the Boeing 777X program. Our deliveries to the Boeing 787 are scheduled to increase in the first-quarter 2022 (when Boeing plans to resume 5 aircraft per month production rate). Looking further ahead, long-term growth outlook remains strong in our OEM business. When airlines replace their older widebody aircraft with new, CTT is the provider of humidifiers.
The aviation industry has left the deepest point of the crisis behind. While serious issues remain, the path to recovery is now in focus. People have not lost their desire to travel. But currently passengers are being held back from international travel by restrictions, uncertainty and complexity. When those showstoppers are eased and removed, modern widebody aircrafts with our products onboard will be utilized for long-haul again, which will lift aftermarket revenues accordingly above 2019.
To conclude with, I am confident that we now can resume our growth. We will benefit, short-term and long-term, when demand is driven by megatrends that require solutions for healthier cabin climate and reduced environmental footprint. This puts us in a good to position to execute on our strategic agenda and expand our business many years ahead.

CTT Systems AB´s third largest owner Swedbank Robur Fonder divested October 19th 2021 their entire holding of 1 000 000 shares, corresponding to 8.0% of votes. SEB Investment Management increased their holdings to 1 098 188 shares, corresponding to 8.8% of votes and thereby became new third largest owner in CTT.
Net sales increased by 5% in the third quarter to MSEK 40.2 (38.3). Adjusted for currency effects sales increased by 10%. The USD currency rate in the third quarter was in average 8.47 (9.05). The increase compared to the third quarter 2020 is mainly explained by the recovering aftermarket after the Covid-19 pandemic. Aftermarket sales in the third quarter were 75% compared to the average quarter 2019. The recovery is much slower for the OEM segment. The Private jet segment is not to the same extent affected by the pandemic, the decrease is rather due to natural fluctuations in the demand.
Net sales in the first nine months of 2021 declined by 34% to MSEK 109.1 (165.9). Adjusted for currency effects sales declined by 27%. The decrease was larger in the beginning of the year, mainly since Q1 2020 was not affected by the pandemic.
The graph above shows quarterly net sales and rolling four quarters average.

The Company's operating profit (EBIT) for the third quarter was MSEK 11.5 (6.4), corresponding to an operating margin of 29% (17). Net profit was MSEK 7.0 (5.0). The EBIT increase compared to the third quarter last year is mainly explained by increased aftermarket sales. The currency effects relating to accounts receivable and accounts payable positively impacted operating profit by MSEK 2.4 (0.7), while currency effects on sales decreased the operating profit by MSEK 1.7 compared to previous year. The third quarter 2020 had positive effects from a onetime adjustment within other operating income amounted to MSEK 3.4.
For the period January – September the Company's operating profit (EBIT) was MSEK 18.8 (39.0), corresponding to an operating margin of 17% (23). Net profit was MSEK 9.9 (29.2). The decline is mainly explained by that the first quarter of 2020 was not affected by the pandemic. This was partly offset by the one-off items (+4.8), the cost savings program and the recovery in the aftermarket.
The earnings trend since Q2 2020 is presented below, where the green line shows the EBIT margin adjusted for currency effects directly linked to accounts receivable and accounts payable.
The net sales forecast for the fourth quarter of 2021 is MSEK 40 - 45 (34.9), and MSEK 149 – 154 (200.8) for the full year.
In the second quarter report (2021), CTT made the following forecast for the third quarter of 2021: "The net sales forecast for the third quarter of 2021 is MSEK 35 - 40 (38.3). MSEK 140 – 160 (200.8) for the full year."
The actual net sales amounted to MSEK 40.2.
During the third quarter, the Company's order intake amounted to MSEK 40 (13). The stronger order intake compared to previous year is due to a general increase in flight hours, increasing the demand for the Company's aftermarket products, as well as an improved orderbook for retrofit systems and Private jet. As of 30 September 2021, the order book totaled MSEK 53 (48), based on USD exchange rate of 8.66 (8.99).
Cash flow before changes in working capital increased to MSEK 10.3 (-1.6) in the third quarter. The cash flow from operating activities increased to MSEK 9.6 (-4.7). The improved cash flow is mainly driven by the higher earnings and lower paid income tax. Cash flow from change in working capital was MSEK -0.7 (-3.1).
Cash flow before changes in working capital increased to MSEK 19.6 (-0.8) during January – September. The cash flow from operating activities increased to MSEK 9.9 (-9.7). Lower earnings during the beginning of 2021 had a negative effect on cash flow, which was mainly offset by a larger tax payment of income tax for previous years made in Q1 2020, amounting to MSEK 23.3. In addition, one-off items in the OEM segment improved cash flow by MSEK 9.1 in Q2 2021. Paid dividend during the second quarter was MSEK 21.8 (50.7).
Long-term interest-bearing loan liabilities amounted to MSEK 69.2 (39.4). The increase from previous year is mainly related to use of a credit facility, during the first quarter to strengthen the company's liquidity. The increase in interest-bearing loan liabilities has been partly offset by a weaker USD/SEK exchange rate, which has reduced the carrying value of the Company's borrowings in USD.
Overall, CTT has a strong financial position, with its equity ratio at 30 September 2021 amounting to 65% (68). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to MSEK 31.9 (30.4), and in addition available credit facilities of MSEK 52. Net debt as of 30 September 2021 amounted to MSEK 39 (10), and equity to MSEK 209 (219).
The average number of employees during the third quarter were 76 (95). For the period January – September the corresponding number was 82 (98). The decrease compared previous year is due to the cost savings programs that was implemented during the pandemic.
Investments in the third quarter amounted to MSEK 1.2 (13.4) and during January – September MSEK 6.3 (26.6) related to ongoing development projects.
The risks in the Company's business operations can generally be divided into operational risks related to its business operations and financial risks related to its financial activities. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has led to a massive standstill of the world's airlines, has had a negative financial impact on CTT during the first, second and third quarter. This impact is expected to continue in the coming quarters, but will decrease gradually as commercial flight hours pick up. Other than this, no significant changes in material risks or uncertainties have arisen during the period. A detailed account of CTT's risks, uncertainties and their management can be found on pages 54 - 58 of the Company's Annual Report for 2020.
