INTERIM REPORT HANZA Holding AB (publ) 1 January - 30 June 2021
*** HANZA Sweden Opening of facility for protective coating of circuit boards and investments of approx. SEK 25 million … HANZA China Rent larger premises and investments of approx. SEK 10 million

HANZA increases product companies' growth and profitability by streamlining their supply chains. Among other things, this means that we help our customers to relocate production and that we offer manufacturing close to the market in our clusters. Thus, our business model creates a high customer value, which enables a good operating margin for HANZA as well. Our mature manufacturing clusters achieve double-digit operating margins, while the clusters that are in the build-up phase show lower margins. During an initial phase, negative margins can also occur.
During the second quarter, approximately 70% of HANZA had an operating margin of around 10%, which resulted in a Group margin of 6.4%. Retained financial costs during the expansion mean that the net result improves significantly; earnings per share amounted to SEK 0.73 In the second quarter and accumulated to SEK 1.00 for the first half-year.
Some industries have not recovered from the pandemic. Sales to the Group's largest customer, active in the textile industry, remain low, and even fell short of the corresponding quarter of 2020, when the downturn began. Overall, we see organic growth of just over 10%.
Working capital is negatively affected by the global shortage of materials and components. However, we show continued positive cash flow in the quarter, approx. SEK 20 million.
Our establishment in Germany in 2019 was an important milestone in the Group's development. During the pandemic, the German market has been difficult to access due to an extensive lockdown, but during the spring the restrictions have been gradually lifted and we are now increasing activity in this area.
The main development of HANZA is driven by investments and improvements in our manufacturing clusters. In addition, there are acquisitions, but it is worth noting that we do not acquire companies in order to increase the Group's size, but in order to further improve our customer offer. Assessments of suitable companies are always ongoing and will likely lead to further acquisitions.
Currently, the biggest challenge is raw materials and components; the shortage situation has affected our sales and earnings negatively during the second quarter. At the same time, this shortage situation highlights the advantage of a rational supply chain - which HANZA offers. This in turn increases the need for our advisory services, and we have several ongoing studies of customers' supply chains to create streamlined alternatives with significant benefits.
Long-term perspective is a guiding principle for HANZA. The Group has been built up gradually and following a brief pause during the pandemic, we now continue the work of completing our currently six manufacturing clusters. When this phase is completed, we will further scale up our company to meet the global needs of HANZA's business model.

The graphs illustrate net sales and operating profit (EBTA) per quarter (bars), and on a rolling 12-month basis (lines). The action program during the pandemic affected the operating profit by SEK -24,7 million in Q2, 2020.
HANZA's customer markets are mainly the Nordic countries and Germany, but customers are also found in the rest of Europe, Asia and the USA. Because HANZA's customers have a wide industry spread, the business cycle is normally reflected in HANZA's sales. However, HANZA sees opportunities for new market shares also during a recession, as product companies normally discover new needs to streamline and regionalize their supply chain.
HANZA is experiencing very strong demand in the Nordic markets. In Germany, the extended lockdown has lowered the demand, but we now see a recovery that is faster than previous assessments. However, some of HANZA's customer groups are still affected by the effects of the pandemic, such as equipment for the textile industry, breweries and shops. This temporary weakening is expected to continue until the end of the year. The extreme flooding that hit areas near HANZA's plant in Germany did not affect operations.
HANZA sees opportunities for new market shares as the pandemic reinforces the trend towards regional and complete manufacturing. This is a trend that has previously been driven by, among other things, trade barriers, transport costs, delivery times and environmental aspects. A limiting factor for HANZA and the manufacturing industry will be the availability of raw materials and components that are already strained today.
Net sales amounted to SEK 63.8 million (559.0). Sales have increased through new sales and increased volumes, but was negatively affected due to the effects of covid-19, where sales to the Group's largest customer were lower in Q2 2021, compared to Q2 2020. The global material shortage situation has also led to delayed production and thus lower sales during the quarter. Furthermore, exchange rate fluctuations have negatively affected sales by approx. SEK 21 million while the acquisition of the Finnish company Suomen Levyprofilii (SLP) affects sales positively by approx. SEK 41 million. Excluding exchange rate fluctuations and acquisitions the growth is approx. 10 % in the quarter.
In Q2, segment Main markets shows sales of SEK 338.9 million (305.8), an increase by 11%. Negative exchange rate effects affect this segment by SEK 9 million. Segment Other markets shows sales of SEK 294.9 million (252.9), an increase by approx. 17 %. Negative exchange rate effect affects this segment by SEK 12 million.
The gross margin amounted to 47.0% (42.5). The increase from last year is due to improved margins but also a continued increase of our inventory and work in progress as a result of component shortages, and that Q2 2020 was burdened by non-recurring costs.
EBITDA for the quarter amounted to SEK 62.7 million (19.1), which corresponds to an EBITDA margin of 9.9% (3.4). Depreciations and amortizations during the period amounted to SEK 26.5 million (35.2), of which amortization of intangible assets amounted to SEK 4.2 million (3.5) which mainly refers to customer relations added in acquisitions. The comparison figure for 2020 included write-downs of SEK 10.5 million.
The Group's operating profit before amortizations of intangible fixed assets (EBITA) amounted to SEK 40.4 million (-12.6), which corresponds to an operating margin of 6.4% (-2.3). The comparison result for Q2 2020 includes items affecting comparability of SEK 27.5 million. The EBITA margin in the Main market segment amounts to 7.9% (0.1). In the Other markets segment the margin amounts to 5.0% (-5.2). Without the component shortage described above, both sales and earnings would have been greater.
In the Business Development segment, costs for special Group development projects not linked to HANZA's operations, such as acquisitions, divestments, listing expenses, development of service products etc. are reported. In the second quarter, EBITA for the Business Development segment amounted to SEK -1.1 million (0.3).
Other external costs amounted to SEK 68.6 million (65.9) and personnel costs amounted to SEK 168.8 million (155.0). The increased costs are due to increased net sales and acquired units. EBIT for the Group amounted to SEK 36.2 million (16.1). Net financial income amounted to SEK -5.5 million (-4.2). Of this, net interest amounts to SEK -4.8 million (-4.4).

EBITDA amounted to SEK 105.4 million (60.6), which corresponds to an EBITDA margin of 8.8% (5.2). Depreciations and amortizations during the period amounted to SEK 50.2 million (59.9), of which amortization of intangible assets amounted to SEK 7.7 million (7.1) which mainly refers to customer relations added in acquisitions.

The Group's EBITA amounted to SEK 62.9 million (7.8), which corresponds to an operating margin of 5.2% (0.7). The Main market segment reports an EBITA of SEK 42.1 million (19.2), which corresponds to an operating margin of 6.6% (3.0). The Other markets segment shows an EBITA of SEK 25.1 million (-10.9), which corresponds to an operating margin of 4.5% (-2.1). EBITA for the Business Development segment amounted in the first half-year to SEK -4.3 million (-0.5) and consists mainly of acquisition costs. The Group's EBIT amounted to SEK 55.2 million (0.7). Net financial income amounted to SEK -12.7 million (-11.5), of which net interest SEK -9.1 million (-9.0).
Profit before tax amounted to SEK 42.5 million (-10.8), while profit after tax amounted to SEK 35.1 million (-13.2). Profit per share before and after dilution amounts to SEK 1.00 (-0.39).
Cash flow from operating activities in the second quarter amounted to SEK 19.4 million (26.7). For the first half-year the cash flow amounted to SEK 85.5 million (94.3). The change in working capital amounted in the quarter to SEK -36,2 million (10.4) and for the first half-year to SEK 1,2 million (50.1). The above-mentioned lack of components has led to increasing safety stocks.
Cash flow from investment activities amounted in the second quarter to SEK -41.0 million (-15.4) of which investments in building SEK -11.5 million (-0.9), other fixed assets to a net of SEK -29.5 million (-14.5).

Total investments in tangible fixed assets amounted in the quarter to SEK 46.3 million (17.8). The difference from cash flow from investments is due to the fact that certain investments do not affect cash flow as they are made through leasing or are an accounts-payable at the end of the period.
Cash flow from financing activities in the second quarter amounted to SEK -27.0 million (-4.3) and consists of new loans and repayments and paid dividend of SEK -8.9 million (-). In the first half-year cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -38.7 million (-25.2).

The parent company's net sales consist exclusively of income from Group companies. There have been no investments in the parent company during the quarter.
The risk factors that are most material to HANZA are the financial risks and changes in the market, which today are mainly driven by the outbreak of covid-19. For more information about risks and uncertainties, please refer to Note 3 in the company's 2020 annual report. There have been no material changes in risks since the preparation of the 2020 annual report.

The accounting principles are in accordance with the principles that were applied in the previous financial year. For more information on these, please refer to Note 2 of the company's 2020 annual report.
The Group's borrowing consists of a large number of notes taken out at different times and with different maturities. Substantially all the loans carry a floating rate of interest. Against the background of the foregoing, the reported values may be deemed to provide a good approximation of fair values as the discount effect is not material.
HANZA's revenue is attributable primarily to the production of components, subsystems and finished composite products according to the customer specifications, but where HANZA has been involved in customising the manufacturing process. HANZA's performance obligations are deemed to have been met when the component or composite product is delivered to the customer. Exceptions from the foregoing are cases where there is an agreement with the customer regarding a buffer stock of finished components or products. In these cases, the performance obligation is deemed to have been met at the time the component or product is placed in buffer stock, meaning that it is available to the customer.
The breakdown of external revenue by segment, which is in line with the Group's cluster-based organisation, is set out in the segment information section below. In addition, the recognition of external revenue is divided into the manufacturing technologies 'Mechanics' and 'Electronics' in the end of this note.
HANZA divide the operations into so called manufacturing clusters and applies a financial segment classification based on primary customer markets. Operational reporting is broken down into the following segments:

On 19 March 2020, all shares in Suomen Levyprofilii Oy (SLP), with domicile in Joensuu, Finland were acquired. The company performs manufacturing in sheet metal mechanics with net sales of about SEK 150 million per year and just over 100 employees. The total purchase price amounts to SEK 35.2 million (cannot exceed SEK 37.7 million) consisting of a cash component in the amount of SEK 5.1 million paid upon entry into possession, 1,800,000 shares in HANZA valued at SEK 27.6 million and a variable additional purchase price of no more than EUR 0,5 million to be paid in the third quarter 2021. The expected additional purchase price was estimated at SEK 2.5 million in the acquisition analysis. At the acquisition a shareholder loan in the amount of SEK 15.4 million was also taken over. This amount is also included in cash flow from acquisition.
In the acquisition, an intangible asset in the form of customer relations was identified in the amount of SEK 15.2 million. The depreciation period for these customer relations is estimated to 10 years. Deferred tax liability related to this item amounts to SEK 3.0 million. In addition, goodwill in the amount of SEK 37.8 million is reported in the acquisition. This goodwill mainly consists of synergies with the other HANZA units in Finland. This goodwill will not be tax deductible. The acquisition analysis is still preliminary.
