CEO comments
Strong mining demand
In the third quarter, orders received increased 8% to MSEK 15 520 (14 360), corresponding to an organic growth of 6%. The demand from mining customers was strong and several large mining equipment orders were won. In total, large orders were recordhigh at MSEK 1 400 (1 000), contributing to an organic order growth for equipment of 11%. For construction, as anticipated, demand remained weak, especially for attachments, where orders slowed further in the United States.
In the near term, we expect that the underlying mining demand, both for equipment and aftermarket, will remain at a high level, while demand from construction customers is expected to remain weak.
Revenues and profitability
Our revenues increased 5% to SEK 15.7 billion, driven by organic growth in Equipment & Service and by acquisitions in Tools & Attachments. Our EBIT increased slightly to MSEK 3 277 (3 260) and included items affecting comparability of MSEK 191 (-12).
The adjusted operating margin, EBIT, was 19.7% (21.8). The lower margin compared to the previous year is mainly explained by mix effects within Equipment & Service, where we have stronger revenue growth in equipment than in the traditional service business, as well as dilution from the acquisition of Stanley Infrastructure. On a Group level, the dilution from acquisitions was -1.3 percentage points.
Sequentially, efficiency measures have yielded results, and the organic contribution to the margin was positive. The workforce was reduced by 450 in the quarter and by 1 000 year-to-date for comparable units. Several efficiency measures are ongoing, including the consolidation of sites in the United States.
Cash flow and working capital
Operating cash flow was MSEK 1 789 and the net working capital was MSEK 24 395. Sequentially, the net working capital was reduced with MSEK 650, driven mainly by lower inventory, which was reduced by MSEK 1 171.
Strategy for resilient, recurring and profitable growth
In September, in conjunction with the world's largest mining exhibit, MINExpo, we hosted our Capital Markets Day. The main purpose of the event was to provide insight into how Epiroc is positioned for profitable, resilient growth in an ever-changing world. We provided updates on the progress of our financial and sustainability goals. Within safety, both when it comes to our offering and our own improvements, we have seen particularly good progress. We shared details of our market-leading position in electrification and automation, which includes more than 600 electric vehicles and 3 100 vehicles with our safety and mixed fleet automation solutions.
Innovation highlights at the MINExpo
At MINExpo in Las Vegas, with over 44 000 guests from 126 countries, we showcased many of our groundbreaking innovations. One innovation that attracted significant interest was the large-capacity Minetruck MT66 S eDrive, a hybrid with both an electric drivetrain and a powerful diesel engine. Epiroc aims to remain in the forefront of a rapidly changing industry by offering the most effective solutions within automation, electrification and digitalization.
Passionate people create exceptional things
During my visit at MINExpo, I had the pleasure to interact with many customers and it is clear that our approach to partnership is highly valued. I applaud the efforts of our passionate employees to provide our customers with solutions that make their operations safer, more productive and more energy efficient, while at the same time strengthening Epiroc for the future.

* Includes operating profit/loss from acquisitions and divestments and items affecting comparability (incl. change in provision for share-based long-term incentive programs).
Operating profit, EBIT, amounted to MSEK 3 277 (3 260), including items affecting comparability of MSEK 191 (-12). These include a positive revaluation effect of the shares held prior to the acquisition of ASI Mining and an impairment of acquisition-related intangible assets in Equipment & Service for a net effect of MSEK 208 (see page 21), as well as a change in provision for the share-based long-term incentive programs of MSEK -17 (-19). The operating margin, EBIT, was 20.9% (21.7).
The adjusted operating margin, excluding items affecting comparability, was 19.7% (21.8). Compared to the previous year, the negative margin development is mainly explained by dilution from acquisitions. In addition, the margin was also negatively impacted by mix effects, such as a higher share of revenues from equipment. Currency contributed positively to the margin. The dilution from acquisitions was -1.3 percentage points. Sequentially, efficiency measures have yielded results, and the organic contribution to the margin was positive.
Net financial items amounted to MSEK -264 (-331). Net interest increased to MSEK -250 (-146), explained by higher interest-bearing debt and an increased average interest rate.
Profit before tax was MSEK 3 013 (2 929). Income tax expense amounted to MSEK -690 (-685). The effective tax rate was 22.9% (23.4). Profit for the period totaled MSEK 2 323 (2 244). Basic earnings per share were SEK 1.92 (1.85).
Return on capital employed was 21.5% (27.8), negatively impacted mainly by increased intangible assets, such as goodwill from acquisitions. The return on equity was 22.6% (27.9).

Balance sheet

Net working capital
Compared to the previous year, net working capital increased 6% to MSEK 24 395 (22 978). The increase is mainly explained by lower payables. Sequentially however, the net working capital was reduced with MSEK 650, driven mainly by lower inventory. The average net working capital in relation to revenues in the last 12 months was 38.0% (34.8).

Net debt
Epiroc ended the quarter with a cash and cash equivalents position of MSEK 7 129 (6 330). The net debt was MSEK 15 152 (7 643). The net debt/EBITDA ratio increased to 0.97 (0.49), driven by an increased debt level after acquisitions. Sequentially, the net debt/EBITDA decreased.
The average tenor of Epiroc's long-term debt was 4.3 years. The average interest duration was 20 months (19) and the average interest rate at the end of the quarter was 4.41% (4.16).
Cash flow

Operating cash flow
Operating cash flow amounted to MSEK 1 789 (1 889). It was negatively impacted by lower operating profit adjusted for non-cash items, while positively impacted by a lower build-up of working capital.
Acquisitions and divestments
The net cash flow from acquisitions and divestments was MSEK -1 080 (-7).

Leading productivity and sustainability partner
Innovations, acquisitions, and partnerships strengthen Epiroc's position as a leading global productivity and sustainability partner. Below are some highlights from the quarter.

Acquisitions – Creating options for the future
Two acquisitions were completed in the quarter. See note 2.
- ASI Mining provides mining automation systems, incl. fully autonomous solutions. Its solutions are OEM agnostic, meaning they work regardless of machine brand and fit well for mixed fleets. During 2018, Epiroc acquired 34% of the shares and on July 3, 2024, the remaining 66% outstanding shares were acquired.
- ACB+ manufactures attachments and quick couplers used on excavators for construction and scrap recycling/deconstruction, and strengthens Epiroc's offering within Attachments. The acquisition was completed September 4.

Minetruck MT66 S eDrive
The Minetruck MT66 S eDrive, launched during MINExpo in Las Vegas in September, is the first large-capacity mine truck with both an electric drivetrain and a powerful diesel engine (hybrid). It combines the cost-effectiveness of a traditional mine truck with the productivity of an electric one, without requiring change to a mine's infrastructure. Customers enjoy 15% boost in productivity, 11% faster ramp speed and 7% fuel reduction compared to previous versions.

Large order for underground mining equipment, including battery-electric vehicles
Epiroc won a large order, MSEK 350, for underground mining equipment, including battery-electric vehicles, from Eurasian Resources Group (ERG) in Kazakhstan. Several of the machines will be operated driverless (tele-remotely), and all of the equipment will be supplied with a collision avoidance system.

Operating profit and margin

Adjusted operating profit and margin

Operating profit and margin
Operating profit, EBIT, increased 2% to MSEK 2 923 (2 868). Items affecting comparability amounted to MSEK 208 (7), including a positive revaluation effect of the shares held prior to the acquisition of ASI Mining and impairment of acquisition-related intangible assets. See page 21. The operating margin, EBIT, was 24.6% (24.5).
The adjusted operating margin, excluding items affecting comparability, was 22.9% (24.4). The negative organic impact is mainly explained by the higher proportion of equipment invoiced, as well as negative mix effects within service. Cost measures initiated earlier this year yielded positive results in the quarter, but not enough to compensate for the mix effects. Currency contributed positively to the margin. There was no margin impact from acquisitions.

The table presents annual revenues in MSEK and employees at the time of the acquisition.
Acquisitions completed in 2024
- Stanley Infrastructure designs, manufactures, and sells attachments, typically used on excavators, and handheld hydraulic and battery-powered tools for applications in infrastructure, construction, scrap recycling, deconstruction, and railroad infrastructure. Its strong and innovative brands include LaBounty, Paladin, Pengo and Dubuis. The acquisition strengthens Epiroc's presence especially in the United States. Stanley Infrastructure had revenues in 2023 of MUSD 447 (MSEK 4 725), an adjusted EBITA margin of 16% and 1 380 employees. The acquisition was announced on December 15, 2023, and was completed on April 1, 2024. Revenues from the acquisition are reported in "Tools & Attachments". The purchase price (Enterprise Value) amounted to MUSD 760 (MSEK 8 200) and is mainly allocated to intangible assets and goodwill. The acquisition was an all-cash transaction. The acquisition will dilute the Group's and the Tools & Attachments' full year 2024 adjusted EBITA margins with approximately 0.6-0.8 and 1.6-1.8 percentage points respectively. Integration and transaction costs amounted to MSEK -255 in the first nine months 2024 (booked in Q1 and Q2).
- Weco Proprietary Limited manufactures precision-engineered rock drilling parts and provides related repairs and services in the Southern African region. The company has approximately MSEK 90 in annual revenues and 80 employees. The acquisition was announced on December 12, 2023, and was completed on May 3, 2024. Revenues from the acquisition are reported in "Service".

- Yieldpoint designs, manufactures and sells advanced digital geotechnical instruments, and has customers worldwide.

- ASI Mining (new product name: LinkOA) provides mining automation systems, such as remote control, teleoperation, and fully autonomous solutions. Its solutions are OEM agnostic, meaning they work regardless of machine brand and fit well for mixed fleets. The company has approximately MSEK 300 in annual revenues. Epiroc already owned 34% of ASI Mining, which it acquired in 2018. The acquisition of the remaining 66% of the company was completed on July 3. Revenues from the acquisition are reported in "Equipment". The transaction has led to a positive revaluation effect of the ownership held prior to the acquisition in the segment Equipment & Service. The gain has been reported as an item affecting comparability of MSEK +554 in the third quarter 2024.
- ACB+ manufactures attachments and quick couplers used on excavators for construction as well as related areas such as scrap recycling and deconstruction. Quick couplers are used with carriers, typically excavators, to enable safe and efficient change of attachments, such as buckets and hydraulic tools. The company is market leading in France and has customers throughout Europe. The company has approximately MSEK 325 in annual revenues and 140 employees. Revenues from the acquisition are reported in "Tools & Attachments".

Several key figures in this report are not defined according to IFRS. The alternative performance measures are marked with a *. They provide complementary information aiming to help readers to analyze the company's operations and facilitate an evaluation of the performance. Since not all companies calculate financial performance measures in the same manner, these are not always comparable with measures used by other companies. These financial performance measures should therefore not be regarded as a replacement for measures as defined according to IFRS. For a list of financial definitions, non-IFRS measures and calculations, visit the Epiroc Group website.
