The Covid-19 pandemic impacted us significantly in the quarter, yet we managed to quickly adapt our way of working, lower our costs, show resilience in our profitability, and deliver a strong cash flow. We managed to do this while prioritizing health and safety and supporting our customers in this unique and challenging situation. I'm proud to see the way our organization has been able to adapt to the situation.
Orders received decreased compared to the previous quarter. Our customers were hesitant to place equipment orders and restrictions led to lower customer activity, particularly in the beginning of the quarter, which impacted our aftermarket business negatively. Orders received for the Group was MSEK 8 105, sequentially down 13% organically and down 17% organically compared to the previous year.
We expect that the demand, both for equipment and for aftermarket, will continue to be negatively impacted by the pandemic in the near term.
Year-on-year, our revenues declined 15% organically, to MSEK 8 458, with the largest drop in Tools & Attachments. The service business had only a moderate organic decline, which contributed to the resilience in profitability. The adjusted operating margin was 18.7% (21.7). Working capital decreased in the quarter, which resulted in a strong operating cash flow of MSEK 1 963.
Compared to Q1, our profit was negatively impacted mainly by lower volumes for our aftermarket business and by lower capacity utilization in our manufacturing facilities. This was partly offset by cost savings.
The contingency measures that we have initiated as a response to the effects of the pandemic and to improve efficiency, were carried out as planned in the quarter. We have already achieved cost savings both from the short-term and from the long-term actions. The longterm actions are expected to save more than MSEK 500 annually as from Q3 2020. Additional savings will be achieved from the end of the year, including savings related to planned layoffs.
In the quarter, we received multiple orders for automation solutions for both underground and surface applications, including a large order in Chile of equipment with 6th Sense solutions for automation, connectivity and information management. The pandemic has increased customers' interest in our state-of-the-art automation and digital solutions and there is a high activity level in our regional automation centers. It has also led to a further increase in the use of digital tools for training and customer interaction.
We have high ambitions when it comes to sustainability and it is encouraging to see the positive development of many of our non-financial KPIs, for example on safety and on CO2 emissions from transport. Our new sustainability goals for 2030 further advance the Group's ambitions related to climate change, safety and diversity. We want to be the enabler and through innovation make the mining and infrastructure industries more sustainable.
On June 18, we celebrated our two-year anniversary as a listed company. The celebration was of course held online due to Covid-19. The global pandemic crisis is unique and I think that we are managing it well, just like we have managed challenging situations before. Our passionate employees are making it possible. Going forward, we will continue to invest in innovation and aftermarket to support our customers on their journey towards increased productivity and sustainability. This will make Epiroc even stronger for the future.

*Includes operating profit/loss from acquisitions and divestments, items affecting comparability, one-time items, and change in provision for share-based long-term incentive programs.
Operating profit was MSEK 1 418 (2 263), including items affecting comparability of MSEK -165. These items include restructuring costs of MSEK -74 and change in provision for share-based long-term incentive programs of MSEK -91 (-39). The operating profit was negatively impacted by the large decline in revenues, but also currency impacted negatively. The operating margin was 16.8% (21.3). Excluding the items affecting comparability, the margin decreased to 18.7% (21.7), mainly due to the decline in revenues.
Net financial items were MSEK -51 (-38). Interest net was MSEK -19 (-57).
Profit before tax was MSEK 1 367 (2 225), corresponding to a margin of 16.2% (20.9). Income tax expense amounted to MSEK -340 (-545), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 24.8% (24.5).
Profit for the period totaled MSEK 1 027 (1 680). Basic earnings per share were SEK 0.85 (1.40).
The return on capital employed during the last 12 months was 22.7% (30.8), affected by lower profit as well as by increased capital employed, mainly from accumulation of cash, acquisitions, and the implementation of IFRS 16 Leases. Return on equity was 23.4% (32.3).
On June 30, 2020, the number of employees was 13 967 (14 620). The number of consultants/external workforce was 1 145 (1 576). For comparable units, the total workforce decreased with 702 compared to the previous year.




Compared to the previous year, the net working capital decreased 18%, of which 6% related to currency, to MSEK 12 084 (14 791). As a percentage of revenues the last 12 months, the average net working capital was 36.1% (33.8).
The Group's net cash position amounted to MSEK 1 819 (previous year: net debt of 4 217). In the quarter, a dividend of SEK 1.20 per share was paid, totaling MSEK 1 445. Epiroc has a strong financial position. However, due to the increased economic uncertainty following the Covid-19 pandemic, funding was increased with a loan of MSEK 2 000.
The net debt/EBITDA ratio was -0.20 (0.43).


The operating cash flow improved to MSEK 1 963 (1 506). It was negatively impacted by lower operating profit, but this was more than offset by a reduction in working capital of MSEK 985 (increased 131), mainly due to a reduction of receivables, and by lower taxes paid.
Cash flow from acquisitions and divestments was MSEK -28 (-578).


Epiroc continues to focus on safeguarding the availability and the supply of spare parts, rock drilling tools and other essential products in order to support customers' operations. The distribution centers and also the manufacturing facilities for Tools & Attachments are operational while the capacity is being adapted to the demand. The availability of components and transports was challenging in the beginning of the second quarter but has improved and is currently stable.
Epiroc's customers, both in mining and infrastructure, are impacted by restrictions from governments and other authorities, affecting demand. The number of customers that have temporarily stopped operations or are working with reduced capacity is, however, fewer than it was during April and May.
The manufacturing facilities for equipment are operational and the capacity is being adapted to the demand. Deliveries and commissioning of equipment are, by and large, being carried out as planned, even if they are sometimes impacted by the restrictions related to Covid-19.

The Equipment & Service segment provides rock drilling equipment, equipment for mechanical rock excavation, rock reinforcement, loading and haulage, ventilation systems, drilling equipment for exploration, water, oil and gas, as well as related spare parts and service for the mining and infrastructure industries.

In April, Epiroc was awarded a large order from Codelco in Chile. The order value is more than MUSD 20 (MSEK 190). The order includes multiple units with technical solutions, such as 6th Sense, which allows for automation and monitoring of machine performance in real-time. Delivery of the equipment will take place later in 2020.
In the quarter Epiroc finalized the previously announced consolidation of the dimension stone industry equipment manufacturing to the production facility in Nashik, India.
Epiroc has launched a new generation core-drilling rigs with a mobile carrier built for demanding underground operations. The new rig, Diamec Smart 6M, also features a rod handling system for increased operator safety and productivity.

The Tools & Attachments segment provides rock drilling tools and hydraulic attachments that are attached to machines used mainly for drilling, deconstruction and recycling as well as rock excavation. It also provides related service and spare parts and serves the mining and infrastructure industries.

In April, it was announced that Epiroc will consolidate the production of exploration drilling tools in Canada. The production will gradually move from North Bay to Montréal during 2020, affecting about 65 employees in North Bay.
The product range of concrete busters has been extended to include the CB 5500 and CB 7500. These have been specially developed for heavy foundation work and are particularly suitable for demolition with longfront excavators and in areas where a hydraulic hammer cannot be used.
The CB 5500 enables cracking even the hardest concrete with outstanding performance.

Epiroc has four prioritized areas within sustainability: We live by the highest ethical standards; We invest in safety and well-being; We grow together with passionate people and courageous leaders; We use resources responsibly and efficiently. For each area there are several targets and key performance indicators.

Work-related lost time injury frequency rate, LTIFR (12 months)
LTIFR and sick leave
The number of work-related lost time injuries per million working hours (LTIFR) decreased compared to the 12-month period ending June 30, 2019. A continued focus on safety and several preventive measures contributed to the reduction.
Sick leave continued to stay on a low level, despite Covid-19. A number of measures have been implemented to minimize the risk for our employees and others getting infected.
CO2 emissions from transport improved compared to the 12-month period ending in June 2019, mainly due to lower volumes and a higher share of shipments by sea instead of air freight.
MWh energy from operations has decreased, supported by the changes in the rock drilling tools business and several initiatives to increase energy efficiency. The ratio, MWh energy from operations/Cost of sales, was however unchanged, as Cost of Sales has decreased.
Epiroc has launched new sustainability goals for 2030 that further advance the Group's ambitions on e.g. climate change and diversity. Examples of new sustainability goals (base year 2019):


Orders received in the first six months 2020 were MSEK 17 877 (20 616), corresponding to an organic decline of 10%. Revenues decreased 14% to MSEK 17 592 (20 411), corresponding to 11% organic decline.

On June 2, Epiroc announced that it is giving notice of termination to 425 employees in Sweden in response to lower global demand from mining and infrastructure companies amid the Covid-19 pandemic and to position the company better for the future. No restructuring costs related to this have been booked in the quarter.
Epiroc has received government grants related to Covid-19, but these are not material. Epiroc has not utilized governmental support for short-time work in Sweden.
The Group's and Parent Company's significant risks and uncertainty factors include market and external risks, financial risks, operational and commercial risks, and legal risks. Further information on risks and risk management can be found in Epiroc's Annual and Sustainability Report 2019. An update to these risks include pandemics, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, which could significantly impact Epiroc's operations related to e.g. production and supply of equipment and aftermarket services, as well as customers and suppliers. Even if Epiroc puts business continuity measures in place to support customers and adjust the way of working to mitigate any impact to the business, the effect of a pandemic may have material adverse effects on Epiroc's business and financial position.

The Board of Directors and President of Epiroc AB declare that the interim report gives a fair view of the business development, financial position and result of operation of the Parent Company and the consolidated Group, and describes significant risks and uncertainties that the parent company and its subsidiaries are facing.

We have reviewed the interim report for Epiroc AB for the period January 1 – June 30, 2020. The Board of Directors and the President 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 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not, in all material respects, prepared 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.
