CEO COMMENT

The quarter

In March we acquired the contract manufacturer SLP (Suomen Levyprofiili Oy) in Finland. This was not only an acquisition, but also an important part of our strategic plan.

Last year we saw how our mature manufacturing clusters managed to meet rapidly changing demand, and we received several awards from our customers. In addition, our larger clusters showed a good operating margin, despite lower sales.

This was a clear acknowledgement of our business model. After a period where we have focused on handling the pandemic, we have now returned to our strategic work. That is, to further develop our smaller clusters.

Therefore, the acquisition in Finland was an important step in the right direction. We have strengthened our Finnish manufacturing cluster in a way that adds customer value and increases margins.

Erik Stenfors, CEO

Financial development

We continue to show good profitability in our mature manufacturing clusters. The majority of the Group's sales now show an operating margin of around 9%. At Group level, the margin is lower (5%) due to challenges linked to the pandemic (Germany and the Czech Republic) and the unit in Narva, where we carried out a major action program in the spring of 2020. Narva has since then developed in accordance with our long-term plan.

Furthermore, we see organic growth in large parts of HANZA, which may not be apparent from a comparasion with last year's figures. The main reason for a decrease in sales at Group level is that our largest customer has significantly reduced its sales during the pandemic, approx. SEK -40 million in the quarter, compared with quarter 1, 2020. Factory mergers together with currency fluctuations affect the quarterly comparison by a further approx. SEK -35 million. The acquisition contributes approximately SEK +5 million.

We can also see that HANZA has maintained a strong financial position through the pandemic. Cash flow continues to be strong and our net debt is today lower than a year ago, despite the pandemic as well as acquisition loans. This creates opportunities for the future.

The future

At the start of the year, Germany was closed down due to covid-19. Despite this, we have managed to broaden several important customer dialogues which shows how well our business model works even in this large and important market.

We see a good long-term development in sales, and during the first quarter we decided on capacity-increasing machine investments of approximately SEK 30 million, which will be installed during the autumn. In parallel, we are building our new production facility for complex assembly in Estonia, with the opening planned to the beginning of next year.

Not only do we offer complete manufacturing, we also offer streamlining of product-owning companies' supply chains. Such a project normally involves the relocation of production from factories in different countries, which is a unique competence that we have developed within HANZA. Significant customer value is created by trimming networks of different traditional contract manufacturers in different locations. And it's not just about cost savings and increased flexibility, the customer also gets a greener supply chain, i.e. a more environmentally friendly manufacturing and logistics process.

In summary, we are now back to an intensive work according to our original strategy: To gain new market shares and continue working on our manufacturing clusters.

Kista, 26 April 2021

Erik Stenfors CEO and President of HANZA Group

The graphs illustrate net sales and operating profit (EBITA) 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.

Market development

HANZA's customer markets are mainly the Nordics 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 has a special opportunity yo gain new market shares during a recession, as product companies find new needs to streamline and regionalize their supply chain.

Demand in the Nordic markets has strengthened significantly during the beginning of 2021, while in Germany the extended lock-down has delayed the upturn. Some of HANZA's customer groups continue to be affected by the effects of the pandemic, such as machinery and equipment for the textile industry, breweries and shops.

HANZA estimates that demand in the Nordic region will remain strong and that the market in Germany will recover towards the end of 2021. HANZA sees opportunities for new market shares as the pandemic has strengthened the trend towards regional and complete manufacturing. This reinforces a trend that has previously been driven by, among other things, trade barriers, transport costs, delivery times and environmental aspects. A limiting factor for the entire manufacturing industry, however, may be the availability of raw materials and components that to some extent is strained already today.

First quarter

Net sales amounted to SEK 567.4 million (599.1). Sales have increased through new sales and decreased due to the effects of covid-19, where sales to the Group's largest customer have decreased by approx SEK 40 million compared with Q1, 2020. Factory consolidation during 2020 affects the Group's sales negatively by approx. SEK 10 million. Exchange rate fluctuations have negatively affected sales by approx. SEK 25 million. The acquisition of SLP affects sales positively by approx. SEK 5 million. Excluding these items, growth is approx. 7% which is due to a recovery in the market and new market shares.

In the first quarter of 2021, segment Main markets shows sales of SEK 300.9 million (337.8), a decrease by 11%, which is mainly due to reasons explained above. Negative exchange rate effects affects this segment by SEK 11 million. Segment Other markets shows sales of SEK 266.5 million (261.3), an increase by approx. 2%. Negative exchange rate effect affects this segment by SEK 14 million.

EBITDA for the quarter amounted to SEK 42.7 million (41.5), which corresponds to an EBITDA margin of 7.5% (6.9). Depreciations and amortizations during the period amounted to SEK 23.7 million (24.7), of which amortization of intangible assets amounted to SEK 3.5 million (3.6) which mainly refers to customer relations added in acquisitions.

The Group's operating profit before amortizations of intangible fixed assets (EBITA) amounted to SEK 22.5 million (20.4), which corresponds to an operating margin of 4.0% (3.4). The result include one-time costs of SEK 6.0 million. Adjusted for these costs EBITA amounts to SEK 28.5 million, which corresponds to an operating margin of 5.0%. The operating margin is marginally impacted by currency fluctuations. The EBITA margin in the Main market segment amounts to 5.1% (5.6). Excluding items affecting comparability from the acquisition of SLP in the amount of SEK 3,7 million the margin amounts to 6.3%. In the Other markets segment the margin amounts to 3,9% (0,8). The margin in both segments is adversely affected by covid- $19.$

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 first quarter, EBITA for the Business Development segment amounted to SEK -3.2 million (-0.8) of which SEK 2.3 million where costs directly related to the acquisition of SLP.

EBIT for the Group amounted to SEK 19.0 million (16.8). The gross margin amounted to 45.9% (46.5). Other external costs amounted to SEK 69.1 million (79.1) and personnel costs amounted to SEK 149.5 million (158.1). The lower costs are due to cost reductions in 2020 and to some extent, exchange rate effects.

Net financial income amounted to SEK -7.2 million (-7.3). Of this, net interest amounts to SEK -4.3 million (-4.6). The lower interest costs are mainly due to lower net debt. Currency rate gains and losses net amounted to SEK -1.0 million (-1.4). Other financial costs amounted to SEK-1.9 million (-1.3). Profit before tax amounted to SEK 11.8 million (9.5). Profit after tax amounted to SEK 9.1 million (6.4). Profit per share before and after dilution amounts to SEK $0.27$ (0.19) for the quarter.

Cash flow and investmenst

Cash flow from operating activities in the first quarter amounted to SEK 66.1 million (67.6). The working captial during the period decreased by SEK 37.4 million (39.7). Cash flow from investment activities in the first quarter amounted to SEK -38.4 million (-21.6) of which investments in building SEK -4.5 million (-), other fixed assets to a net of SEK -13.7 million (-18.5) and acquisition of subsidiary SEK -20.2 million (-3.1). Cash flow from financing activities in the first quarter amounted to SEK -11.7 million (20.9) and consists of new loans and repayments. Total investments in tangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 31.1 million in the quarter (20.7). 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.

Financial position

Shareholder's equity at the end of the period amounted to SEK 520.5 million (523.9) whereas the equity ratio was 31.1% (32.0). The balance sheet total amounted to SEK 1,672.1 million (1,638.1). Both shareholder's equity and balance sheet total decrease as a result of a negative exchange rate effect. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to SEK

138.8 million (97.0).

The net interest-bearing debt at the end of the period amounted to SEK 500.2 (513.4) and has increased by SEK 48.8 million during the quarter due to the acquisition of SLP. The acquisition increased the debt by approx. SEK 80 million in total, of which leasing costs, mainly rental agreements, amounted to SEK 38.8 million (see Note 8). Excluding the acquisition the net debt has decreased by SEK 31.2 million during quarter 1, 2021, and by SEK 93.2 million compared to March 31, 2020. The operating net debt amounts to SEK 274.6 million (317.3), a decrease by SEK 42.7 million, despite the acquisition of SLP that contributed a net increase of SEK 41.2 million.

Dividend

The Board has proposed to the AGM a dividend of SEK 0.25 (-) per share for the financial year 2020, which equates to an amount of approx. SEK 8.9 million.

The parent company

The parent company's net sales consists exclusively of income from Group companies. There have been no investments in the parent company during the quarter.

Material risks and uncertainties

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.

Related party transactions

Employees

In the quarter the average number of employees in the Group amounted to 1,689 (1,683). At the end of the period the number was 1,791 and at the beginning of the year the number was 1,637. The increase is mainly due to the acquisition of SLP.

All amounts are reported in millions of SEK (SEK million) and refers to The Group unless otherwise stated. Information in brackets refers to the corresponding period of the preceding year. The interim information on pages 5 to 7 forms an integral part of this financial report.

HANZA Holding AB (publ) applies IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards), as adopted by the European Union. This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The interim report for the parent company has been prepared in accordance with chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Reports Act, and with RFR 2, Accounting for legal entities.

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' further below.

Description of segment reporting

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:

  • Main markets Manufacturing clusters located in or near HANZA's primary geographical $\bullet$ customer markets, which currently consist of Sweden, Finland, Norway and Germany. These clusters currently comprise Sweden, Finland and Germany. The operations in these areas are characterised by closeness to the customers factories and close collaboration with customer development departments.
  • Other markets Manufacturing clusters outside of HANZA's primary geographical customer areas. These clusters currently consist of the Baltics, Central Europe and China. The operations are characterised by heavy labour input, complex, extensive monitoring, and closeness to important end-customer areas.
  • Business development Costs and revenues not allocated to the Manufacturing Clusters, $\bullet$ which primarily consist of Group-wide functions within the parent company, as well as Group-wide adjustments not allocated to the other two segments.

Transactions between segments are made on market terms.
