We conclude the year by, for the first time, passing SEK 300 million in operating EBITA for an individual quarter, contributing to a full-year profit of more than SEK 1 billion by a margin. I am proud to say that this represents Inwido's strongest performance to date.

Strong end to a record year

Summing up 2022, I can conclude that Inwido performed very well during a turbulent year. The year is ends with, for the first time, passing SEK 300 million in operating EBITA for an individual quarter, contributing to a full-year profit of more than SEK 1 billion by a margin. It is with pride that I can confirm that this was Inwido's strongest quarter to date. The fourth quarter showed continued growth, both organically and with contributions from the companies acquired over the year. At the same time, the return on operating capital improved and strong cash flow was generated. This has created the conditions to be able to raise the dividend for 2022 too, while continuing to investing in growth. Although order intake was stable over the quarter, increasing 2 percent, a change in the market can now be seen. Within the Consumer segment, our area of focus, demand is stable while purchasing needs in the Industry segment are slowing down. Although 2022 was a tough year for e-Commerce, we are now seeing signs of the trend having turned, with fourth

quarter profit being stronger than in the preceding year, while order intake is increasing. The strong pace of price increases for input materials experienced over the first three quarters has now slowed, and the price increases implemented continuously over the year are reflected in increasing margins. Over the quarter, net sales increased by 20 percent to SEK 2,613 million (2,175) and organic growth was 10 percent. Operating EBITA rose to SEK 315 million (244) while the operating EBITA margin rose to 12.1 percent (11.2). While the order backlog of SEK 1,583 million does entail a decline by 15 percent, it is nonetheless at a level well in line with our long-term growth target. Over the year, CO2 emissions decreased by 22 percent, meaning we have now reduced them by 50 percent compared with 2019, thereby already achieving our climate ambition for 2030.

Positive development in all business areas

Business Area Scandinavia saw continued good growth over the quarter, which was combined with improved profitability. Sales increased by 16 percent, operating EBITA rose by 24 percent to SEK 211 million (170) and the operating EBITA margin rose to 14.8 percent (13,8). The development is driven by strong sales in the Consumer segment, while price increases have now taken effect, providing a better margin.

Business Area Eastern Europe showed strong growth, with good sales in both the Consumer and Industry markets. Sales rose by 29 percent, operating EBITA increased to SEK 80 million (43) while the operating EBITA margin increased to 11.0 percent (7.6). The strengthened margin derives from the previously implemented price increases now having an impact. Within the business area, the positive trend is most evident in our largest business unit and in Metallityö Välimäki, which was acquired in 2021.

Business area e-Commerce experienced a turnaround following the challenges experienced in the first three quarters of 2022. Sales, profit and order intake are now developing favorably. The investments in equipment to support growth have been implemented and efficiency is improving steadily. Sales increased by 13 percent to SEK 246 million, operating EBITA amounted to SEK 21 million (20) and the operating EBITA margin was 8.6 percent (9.2).

Business area Western Europe showed increased growth and profit over the quarter. Here, we can see that the growth in sales is clearly being driven by the Consumer market. Much of this growth derived from Dekko, which was acquired during the year. Over the quarter, profitability declined somewhat due to a negative mix. Sales increased by 45 percent to SEK 230 million. Operating EBITA rose to SEK 17 million (15) and the operating EBITA margin decreased to 7.3 percent (9.3).

Three successful acquisitions in 2022

Three companies were acquired in 2022: Dekko Window Systems, Westcoast Windows and Hyvinkään Puuseppien. All companies are contributing positively to the Group with good growth, while our Group-wide sourcing function helps further enhance the profitability of the new business units. With strong cash flow and a low debt ratio, great opportunities remain for continued acquisitions in 2023.

Future prospects

The fourth quarter saw continued good sales and our highest quarterly profit to date. We enter 2023 with an order backlog that is back to a more normal level following the effects of the pandemic, while order intake is stable overall. We are, however, seeing clearly weaker demand from the industrial segment. At the same time, high energy prices have increased consumers' interest in energy-efficient windows and doors, even though disposable incomes are falling. In the long term, we are also optimistic regarding the Industry market, as the need for new housing remains high, while many older properties will need to be renovated to become more energy efficient, reduce emissions and offer a better indoor environment.

Net sales and order intake

Over the fourth quarter, sales increased by 20 percent (organically by 10 percent) to SEK 2,613 million (2,175) as a result of both volume and price increases. Over the 2022 full-year, net sales rose to SEK 9,547 million (7,725), corresponding to 24 percent growth (14 percent organically).

In the fourth quarter, reported order intake rose by 2 percent compared with the corresponding quarter in the preceding year (down 5 percent adjusted for acquisitions). Order intake was up 5 percent in Business Area Scandinavia, down 15 percent in Eastern Europe, up 34 percent in Western Europe and up 7 percent in e-Commerce. The Consumer market showed overall stable order intake, while the Industry market, particularly in Finland, was weaker. At the end of the period, the order backlog amounted to SEK 1,583 million (1,856), a decrease of 15 percent compared with the corresponding time in the preceding year (down 20 percent adjusted for acquisitions). Despite this, the order book was about 85 percent higher that at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.

EBITA

EBITA rose to SEK 319 million (262) in the fourth quarter and the EBITA margin rose to 12.2 percent (12.1). Operating EBITA, that is, EBITA before items affecting comparability, increased to SEK 315 million (244). This is the highest EBITA reported by Inwido for any individual quarter to date. The operating EBITA margin rose to 12.1 percent (11.2). The improved profitability is mainly explained by implemented price increases, a more favorable mix with a higher proportion of Consumer sales and a positive turnaround in e-Commerce.

Over the period January–December, EBITA increased to SEK 1,087 million (922) and the EBITA margin amounted to 11.4 percent (11.9). Operating EBITA rose to SEK 1,090 million (907) and the operating EBITA margin amounted to 11.4 percent (11.7).

Net financial items

In the fourth quarter, net financial items amounted to a negative SEK 11 million (positive 4), while the Group's net interest amounted to an expense of SEK 10 million (6). For the period January–December, net financial items amounted to an expense of SEK 50 million (17), while the Group's net interest expense amounted to SEK 30 million (24). The deviation in net financial items is mainly explained by slightly higher interest expenses over the year, combined with positive exchange rate effects in the corresponding period in the preceding year.

Profit before and after tax

Profit before tax rose to SEK 302 million (261) in the fourth quarter. Income taxes amounted to a negative SEK 59 million (45) and profit after tax rose to SEK 242 million (215). Over the period January–December, profit before tax rose to SEK 1,013 million (885). Income taxes amounted to a negative SEK 205 million (172) and profit after tax rose to SEK 808 million (713).

Earnings per share

In the fourth quarter, earnings per share before and after dilution increased to SEK 4.11 (3.72). During the period January– December, earnings per share before and after dilution rose to SEK 13.74 (12.29).

Effects of Covid-19 and reporting of government subsidies

Central government subsidies and temporary deferrals of taxes and fees related to the Covid-19 pandemic were insignificant from the consolidated perspective.

Items affecting comparability

Items affecting comparability that are non-recurring and have a significant impact on profit are important in understanding the underlying development of operations. Expenses relate primarily to acquisition-related expenses and restructuring measures during a consolidation phase, in which the company enhances efficiency through, for example, closures or reorganization of production facilities and sales units. These expenses primarily consist of impairment of assets, personnel costs and other external expenses.

Items affecting comparability in the fourth quarter amounted to a positive net of SEK 4 million (18) and pertained to the net of one-off surplus payments from the collective AGS health insurance plan and the reversal of part of the provision for contingent purchase considerations. For the period January–December, items affecting comparability amounted to a negative net of SEK 3 million (positive 15), pertaining mainly to acquisition-related costs in addition to the items that impacted the fourth quarter.

Gross investments, depreciation, amortization and impairment

Gross investments in tangible non-current assets during the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 96 million (86). Depreciation and impairment amounted to SEK 76 million (66). For the period January–December, gross investments in tangible non-current assets amounted to SEK 184 million (188). Depreciation and impairment amounted to SEK 286 million (249).

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities after changes in working capital increased to SEK 418 million (477) for the fourth quarter. For the period January–December, cash flow from operating activities after changes in working capital increased to SEK 1,071 million (1,014). A continued good profitability trend contributed to the improved cash flow.

Cash flow from investing activities in the fourth quarter was negative in the amount of SEK 94 million (83). For the period January–December, cash flow from investing activities was a negative SEK 427 million (255). The deviation from the previous year is primarily explained by acquisitions.

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to a negative SEK 25 million (193) in the fourth quarter. During the period January–December, cash flow from financing activities amounted to a negative SEK 461 million (839). The deviation from the preceding year is explained by higher repayment of debt that year, offset partially by a higher dividend in 2022 compared with the preceding year.

Return on operating capital

Return on operating capital increased to 18.3 percent (16.9), above all as a result of higher operating profit combined with a continued reduction in working capital tied up.

Financial position and liquidity

Inwido's principal financing consists of bank loans based on bilateral, sustainability-related credit agreements expiring in the period 2025-2028. The aforementioned credit agreement includes financial covenants that are followed up on a quarterly basis. Inwido meets the terms of existing credit agreements.

Consolidated net debt amounted to SEK 768 million (687) and to SEK 294 million (348) excluding IFRS 16 at the end of the period.

At the end of the period, indebtedness, calculated as interest-bearing net debt/operating EBITDA, was 0.6 (0.6) and 0.2 (0.3) excluding IFRS 16. At the end of the period, consolidated cash and equivalents were SEK 1,319 million (1,073). Available funds, including unutilized credit facilities, amounted to SEK 2,871 million (2,614).

Seasonal variations

Inwido's operations are affected by seasonal fluctuations. The weakest period is the first quarter, which normally accounts for about 20 percent of annual sales. The second and third quarters are normally of equal strength and combined account for slightly more than 50 percent of annual sales, while the fourth quarter of the year is normally the strongest with slightly less than 30 percent of annual sales. The largest seasonal variations are within the Consumer market, although sales to the Industry market are also dependent on the season and weather.

Employees

The number of employees averaged 4,854 (4,585) over the period January–December 2022.

Parent Company

The Parent Company, Inwido AB (publ), is purely a holding company with no operations of its own. The Parent Company's profit mainly reflects the net of revenues for joint Group services and deductions for wages, other remunerations and interest expenses.

Shares and share capital

As per December 31, 2022, share capital amounted to SEK 231,870,112 and the number of shares totaled 57,967,528. The company has one (1) class of shares. Each share entitles the holder to one vote at general meetings. At the end of the period, the closing price was SEK 110.70 and the company's market capitalization was SEK 6,417 million. The total number of shareholders amounts to 16,687.

Acquisitions

On March 1, 2022, Inwido acquired 70 percent of the shares and votes in UK company Dekko Window Systems Ltd. Dekko has some 200 employees, a production facility on the outskirts of Manchester and achieved sales equivalent to about SEK 260 million in 2021. The company primarily sells its products to the Consumer market through local window installers and retailers. Inwido has issued a put option for the remaining 30 percent of the shares, held primarily by senior executives in Dekko. The put option entitles, but does not oblige, minority shareholders to sell their shares to Inwido during the period March 1–April 30, 2025. Inwido also has a call option entitling, but not obliging the company, to acquire any outstanding shares during the period May 1–June 30, 2025. The purchase consideration for the remaining 30 percent of the shares is based on Dekko's future financial development. An additional purchase consideration for the initial 70 percent of the shares will also be paid, this being based on the operating profit achieved in 2022. Dekko is now part of Business Area Western Europe within Inwido.

On May 31, 2022, Inwido acquired all shares and votes in Westcoast Windows AB with operations in Sweden and the UK. Westcoast Windows was founded in 1995 and manufactures windows, window doors and sliding doors in wood and wood/aluminium at its plant in Trollhättan, Sweden. Today, the company mainly sells its products through DIY chains, with homeowners and tenant-owner associations being major customer groups. Some production is exported to the UK, where the company maintains its own sales organization. The operations, which employed 80 people and achieved sales of SEK 164 million in 2021, are now part of Inwido's Business Area Scandinavia.

On May 31, 2022, Inwido acquired 65 percent of the shares and votes in Hyvinkään Puuseppien OY in Finland, which specializes in solid wood doors and custom windows. The acquisition adds another successful operation to Inwido's Business Area Eastern Europe. Hyvinkään Puuseppien has 16 employees and maintains a production facility in Ridasjärvi, Hyvinkää. In 2021, the company achieved sales of approximately SEK 40 million. Hyvinkään Puuseppien was founded in 1958 and today sells its products mainly to tenant-owner associations, property companies, construction companies and construction contractors. Inwido has issued a put option regarding the remaining 35 percent of the shares, which are held by the CEO of Hyvinkään Puuseppien. The put option entitles, but does not oblige, the minority shareholder to sell his shares to Inwido during the period March 1–April 30, 2024. Inwido also has a call option entitling, but not obliging the company, to acquire any outstanding shares during the period March 1–April 30, 2024. The purchase consideration for the remaining 35 percent of the shares will be based on Hyvinkään Puuseppien's future financial development.

These three acquisitions have in common that the companies continue to operate as independent companies within the relevant business areas, while also benefiting from synergies with Inwido's central purchasing organization and other local business units in the relevant markets. The total purchase consideration for the three aforementioned acquisitions amounts to SEK 290 million, excluding the value of put/call options. Put/call options have been reported in equity and as other non-current liabilities in the amount of approximately SEK 115 million and are calculated at their value at the point in time at which the balance sheet item was established. Goodwill includes the value of market knowledge and future purchasing synergies. No part of goodwill is expected to be tax deductible. In all material respects, the gross value and fair value of accounts receivable are equal. During the period that the companies were owned up until December 31, 2022, they contributed SEK 409 million to the Group's external income and affected profit for the year by SEK 32 million. Acquisition-related costs amounted to SEK 7 million in the form of consulting costs in connection with the acquisition process. These consulting costs have been reported as other operating expenses in the statement of comprehensive income and are excluded from consolidated operating EBITA. The acquisitions

were financed through available cash and equivalents and each had a marginally positive impact on Inwido's earnings per share in 2022. The purchase considerations for the acquisitions are in line with Inwido's normal multiples.

See Note 5 for further information.

Incentive programs

The 2021 Annual General Meeting approved the Board's proposal on the establishment of a long-term incentive program consisting of an issue of warrants to senior executives. The warrants issue, encompassed 94,500 warrants issued to Inwido's wholly-owned subsidiary, Inwido Europe AB, which were subsequently transferred to the company's senior executives. The transfer was conducted at market value at the time of transfer. It will be possible to subscribe for shares supported by the warrants during the periods August 1, 2024–August 31, 2024, February 15, 2025–March 15, 2025, August 1, 2025–August 31, 2025, February 15, 2026–March 15, 2026 and August 1, 2026–August 31, 2026. Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one new share in Inwido at a price corresponding to 125 percent of the volume-weighted average price for the company's shares on the Nasdaq Stockholm's official price list during the period April 28, 2021–May 6, 2021. The subscription price corresponds to SEK 189.79.

The 2022 Annual General Meeting approved the Board's proposal to establish a long-term incentive program comprising an issue of warrants to senior executives. The program mainly corresponds to the long-term incentive program adopted by the 2021 Annual General Meeting. The warrants issue, encompassed 108,500 warrants issued to Inwido's wholly-owned subsidiary, Inwido Europe AB, which were subsequently transferred to the company's senior executives. The transfer was conducted at market value at the time of transfer. Subscription of shares supported by the warrants is to occur during the periods August 1, 2025–August 31, 2025, August 1, 2026–August 31, 2026 and August 1, 2027–August 31, 2027.

If fully exercised, the maximum dilution effect of the program is approximately 0.28 percent of the shares and votes in the company. The long-term incentive program adopted by the 2021 Annual General Meeting corresponds to a total dilution effect of approximately 0.40 percent, which means that the programs together can lead to a maximum dilution effect of approximately 0.68 percent.

Pledged assets and contingent liabilities

No significant changes in pledged assets or contingent liabilities occurred during the period.

The proposed record date for entitlement to dividends is May 8, 2023. If the Annual General Meeting approves the proposal, it is anticipated that the dividend will be paid on May 11, 2023.

Future prospects

The fourth quarter saw continued good sales and our highest quarterly profit to date. We enter 2023 with an order backlog that is back to a more normal level following the effects of the pandemic, while order intake is stable overall. We are, however, seeing clearly weaker demand from the industrial segment. At the same time, high energy prices have increased consumers' interest in energy-efficient windows and doors, even though disposable incomes are falling.

In the long term, we are also optimistic regarding the Industry market, as the need for new housing remains high, while many older properties will need to be renovated to become more energy efficient, reduce emissions and offer a better indoor environment.

Malmö, February 7, 2023 The Board of Directors of Inwido AB (publ)

This year-end report has not been subject to review by the Company's auditors.

Inwido's sustainability efforts

"In 2022, Inwido reduced climate emissions* by 22 percent. This means that we have reduced our emissions by more than 50 percent compared with 2019, thereby meeting our climate ambition for 2030. We now aim to become climate neutral by 2050."

Important events during the quarter:

  • Our carbon footprint was significantly reduced by 22 percent in 2022. This reduction is attributable to reduced energy usage, the continued transition to renewable electricity and active choices of renewable sources for heating.
  • The number of accidents resulting in absence from work is decreasing steadily. By observing incidents and risks and by acting on these on the basis of an activity list, a declining trend was maintained throughout the year.
  • Both short-term and long-term sick-leave are increasing. This may be attributed to two principal causes firstly that employees stay home more often than before Covid-19, and secondly that medical interventions and operations, postponed during the pandemic, are being performed now, causing increased long-term sick-leave. The flu season also increased sick-leave
  • Inwido works to reuse and recycle materials within its own production. Furthermore, in the fourth quarter, Elitfönster launched an opportunity for recycling old windows into new window panes. The amount of hazardous waste increased over the year, due mainly to waste being reclassified under new regulations.

In the fourth quarter, operating EBITA rose to SEK 211 million (170) and the operating EBITA margin rose to 14.8 percent (13.8).

Eastern Europe – price increases and good development in newly acquired units

Net sales increased by 29 percent to SEK 724 million (561) in the fourth quarter, corresponding to an organic increase of 21 percent.

Reported order intake fell 15 percent, driven mainly by a weaker Industry market. At the end of the period, the order backlog was 4 percent lower than at the end of the corresponding period in the preceding year.

In the fourth quarter, operating EBITA rose to SEK 81 million (43) and the operating EBITA margin rose to 11.2 percent (7.6). Implemented price increases, combined with good development in the recently acquired units, resulted in a higher operating margin.

Notes

Note 1 – Accounting principles

This summary consolidated interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable provisions in the Annual Accounts Act. The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act, Chapter 9, Interim Financial Reporting. The Group applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. The Group and the Parent Company have applied the same accounting principles and calculation methods as in the 2021 Annual Report.

In addition to the financial statements, disclosures in accordance with IAS 34.16A are also presented in other parts of the interim report.

The financial reports are presented in SEK, rounded off to the nearest hundred thousand, unless otherwise stated. This process of rounding off can result in the total of the sub-items in one or more rows or columns not corresponding to the sum total for the row or column.

In the accounts, government subsidies related to the Covid-19 pandemic are treated as a reduction pertaining to personnel costs. Temporary respites on paying taxes and fees are booked as a non-interest-bearing liability when a decision on deferral has been obtained.

As of January 1, 2022, Inwido divides its operations into the four operating segments Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, e-Commerce and Western Europe, instead of, as previously, North and South. The new segmentation aims to increase transparency and clarity regarding development and business results within the Group's various areas. By highlighting growth segments, Inwido also seeks to signal a clearer focus on growth. For financial history regarding the four new segments, please refer to Inwido's website.

Note 2 – Risks and uncertainties

Inwido's operations are subject to various risks. The risks can be divided into operational, financial and external risks. Operational risks involve, among other things, risks related to losses on account receivable, warranty and product liability, key personnel, interruptions in production, IT systems, intellectual property rights, product development, restructuring, acquisitions and integration, insurance and corporate governance. The financial risks primarily involve changes in exchange rates and interest rates, liquidity risk, capacity to raise capital, financial credit risks and risks associated with goodwill. External risks involve, among other things, risks related to market trends, competition, commodity prices, political decisions, legal disputes, tax and environmental risks.

Risk management in Inwido is based on a structured process for the continuous identification and assessment of risks, their probabilities and potential impacts on the Group. The focus is on identifying controllable risks and managing them to thereby mitigate the overall level of risk in the operations. The Group's risks are described in the 2021 Annual Report. Beyond these, no significant additional risks or uncertainties have arisen.

Note 3 – Financial instruments

Financial instruments are valued at fair value in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The balance sheet item 'Financial investments' contains the Group's holdings of unlisted securities. The cost for these has been deemed to be a reasonable approximation of their value.

Note 5Acquisitions of businesses

On March 1, 2022, Inwido acquired 70 percent of the shares and votes in UK company Dekko Window Systems Ltd. Dekko has some 200 employees, a production facility on the outskirts of Manchester and achieved sales equivalent to about SEK 260 million in 2021. The company primarily sells its products to the Consumer market through local window installers and retailers. The company joins Business Area Western Europe. Inwido has issued a put option for the remaining 30 percent of the shares, held primarily by senior executives in Dekko. The put option entitles, but does not oblige, minority shareholders to sell their shares to Inwido during the period March 1–April 30, 2025. Inwido also has a call option entitling, but not obliging the company, to acquire any outstanding shares during the period May 1–June 30, 2025. The purchase consideration for the remaining 30 percent of the shares will be based on Dekko's future financial development. An additional purchase consideration for the initial 70 percent of the shares may also be payable based on the operating profit achieved in 2022.

On May 31, Inwido acquired all shares and votes in Westcoast Windows AB with operations in Sweden and the UK. Westcoast Windows was founded in 1995 and manufactures windows, window doors and sliding doors in wood and wood/aluminium at its plant in Trollhättan, Sweden. Today, the company mainly sells its products through DIY chains, with homeowners and tenant-owner associations being major customer groups. Some production is exported to the UK, where the company maintains its own sales organization. The operations, which employed 80 people and achieved sales of SEK 164 million in 2021, will join Inwido's Business Area Scandinavia.

On May 31, Inwido acquired 65 percent of the shares and votes in Hyvinkään Puuseppien OY in Finland, which specializes in solid wood doors and custom windows. The acquisition adds another successful operation to Inwido's Business Area Eastern Europe. Hyvinkään Puuseppien has 16 employees and maintains a production facility in Ridasjärvi, Hyvinkää.In 2021, the company achieved sales of approximately SEK 40 million. Hyvinkään Puuseppien was founded in 1958 and today sells its products mainly to tenant-owner associations, property companies, construction companies and construction contractors. Inwido has issued a put option regarding the remaining 35 percent of the shares, which are held by the CEO of Hyvinkään Puuseppien. The put option entitles, but does not oblige, the minority shareholder to sell his shares to Inwido during the period March 1–April 30, 2024. Inwido also has a call option entitling, but not obliging the company, to acquire any outstanding shares during the period March 1–April 30, 2024. The purchase consideration for the remaining 35 percent of the shares will be based on Hyvinkään Puuseppien's future financial development.

These three acquisitions have in common that the companies continue to operate as independent companies within the relevant business areas, while also benefiting from synergies with Inwido's central purchasing organization and other local business units in the relevant markets. The total purchase consideration for the three aforementioned acquisitions amounts to SEK 290 million, excluding the value of put/call options. Put/call options have been reported in equity and as other non-current liabilities in the amount of approximately SEK 115 million and are calculated at their value at the point in time at which the balance sheet item was established. Goodwill includes the value of market knowledge and future purchasing synergies. No part of goodwill is expected to be tax deductible. In all material respects, the gross value and fair value of accounts receivable are equal. During the period that the companies were owned up until December 31, 2022, they contributed SEK 409 million to the Group's external income and affected profit for the year by SEK 34 million. Acquisition-related costs amounted to SEK 7 million in the form of consulting costs in connection with the acquisition process. These consulting costs have been reported as other operating expenses in the statement of comprehensive income and are excluded from consolidated operating EBITA. The acquisitions were financed through available cash and equivalents and each had a marginally positive impact on Inwido's earnings per share in 2022. The purchase considerations for the acquisitions are in line with Inwido's normal multiples.

The acquired companies' net assets at the time of acquisition:

Definitions of alternative key ratios not defined by IFRS

Inwido presents certain alternative financial ratios in addition to the conventional financial ratios set by IFRS, in order to better understand the development of the business and the financial status of the Inwido Group. Such key ratios should not, however, be considered a substitute for the key ratios required under IFRS. The alternative key ratios presented in this report are described below.

Income measures Calculation Purpose
Organic growth Net sales including acquired growth for the cur
rent period divided by net sales including pro
forma acquired growth during the corresponding
period last year. The change is adjusted for ex
change rate fluctuations by applying the current
period's exchange rates to pro forma net sales
during the corresponding period last year.
Organic growth excludes the effects of changes in
the Group's structure and exchange rates, ena
bling a comparison of net sales over time.
Operating gross profit Gross profit before items affecting comparability. Key ratio used to measure how much of net sales
is left to cover other expenses. The key ratio is
also adjusted for the impact of items affecting
comparability to increase comparability over time.
Operating EBITDA EBITDA before items affecting comparability. This key ratio is used to measure cash flow from
operating activities, regardless of the effects of fi
nancing and depreciation rates on non-current as
sets. The key ratio is also adjusted for the impact
of items affecting comparability to increase com
parability over time. The key ratio is a central com
ponent in the bank covenant Net debt/operating
EBITDA.
EBITA Operating profit after depreciation, amortization
and impairment but before deduction for impair
ment of goodwill as well as amortization and im
pairment of other intangible assets that arose in
conjunction with company acquisitions (Earnings
Before Interest, Tax and Amortization).
This key ratio enables comparisons of profitability
over time regardless of amortization and impair
ment of acquisition-related intangible assets, and
regardless of the corporate tax rate and the com
pany's financing structure. Depreciation of tangi
ble assets is, however, included, this being a meas
ure of resource consumption necessary to gener
ate profit.
Operating EBITA EBITA before items affecting comparability. This key ratio increases the comparability of EBITA
over time, since it is adjusted for the impact of
items affecting comparability. The key ratio is also
used in internal review and constitutes a central fi
nancial target for the operations.
Items affecting comparability Income statement items that are non-recurring,
have a significant impact on profit and are im
portant for understanding the underlying devel
opment of operations.
A separate account of items affecting comparabil
ity elucidates development in the underlying oper
ations.
Margin measures Calculation Purpose
Operating gross margin Operating gross profit as a percentage of net
sales.
This key ratio is a complement to operating margin
since it shows the underlying surplus from net
sales left to cover other expenses in relation to net
sales.
Operating EBITDA margin Operating EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. This key ratio serves as a complement to operating
margin, since it shows the underlying surplus cash

flow in relation to net sales. The key ratio also en
ables comparison with other companies, regard
less of each company's depreciation/amortization
principles and the age structure of non-current as
sets.
EBITA margin EBITA as a percentage of net sales. This key ratio reflects the operating profitability of
the operations before amortization and impair
ment of acquisition-related intangible assets. The
key ratio is an important component, alongside
sales growth and capital turnover rate, in tracking
the company's value creation.
Operating EBITA margin Operating EBITA as a percentage of net sales. This key ratio increases the comparability of EBITA
margin over time, since it is adjusted for the im
pact of items affecting comparability.
Operating margin
(EBIT margin)
Operating profit as a percentage of net sales. This key ratio reflects the operating profitability of
the operations. The key ratio is an important com
ponent, alongside sales growth and capital turno
ver rate, in tracking the company's value creation.
Capital structure Calculation Purpose
Net debt Interest-bearing liabilities and interest-bearing
provisions less interest-bearing assets, including
cash and equivalents.
The net debt measure is used to track the devel
opment of debt and to see the scope of the refi
nancing requirement. Since liquid funds can be
used to pay off debt at short notice, net debt is
used instead of gross debt as a measure of total
loan financing.
Net debt/operating EBITDA Net debt in relation to operating rolling 12-
month EBITDA.
This key ratio is a debt ratio showing how many
years it would take to pay off the company's liabil
ities, provided that its net debt and EBITDA are
constant and without taking cash flows relating to
interest, taxes and investments into account.
Net debt/equity ratio Net debt in relation to shareholders' equity. This key ratio is a measure of the relationship be
tween the Group's two forms of financing. The
measure shows loan capital as a share of share
holders' invested capital. The measure reflects fi
nancial strength but also the leverage effect of
borrowings. A higher debt ratio entails higher fi
nancial risk and higher financial leverage.
Interest coverage ratio Profit after net financial items plus financial ex
penses in relation to financial expenses.
This key ratio indicates the company's capacity to
cover its interest expenses.
Equity/assets ratio Shareholders' equity including non-controlling in
terests as a percentage of total assets.
This key ratio reflects the company's financial po
sition. A favorable equity/assets ratio provides a
preparedness to manage periods of recession and
financial preparedness for growth. At the same
time, a higher equity/assets ratio provides lower
financial leverage.
Operating capital Total assets less cash and equivalents, other in
terest-bearing assets and non-interest-bearing
provisions and liabilities.
Operating capital shows the amount of capital that
the business requires to conduct its core opera
tions. It is primarily used for the calculation of re
turn on operating capital.

Return measures Calculation Purpose
Return on shareholders' equity Profit after tax, rolling 12-month (RTM), attribut
able to the Parent Company's shareholders as
a percentage of average shareholders' equity,
excluding non-controlling interest (average cal
culated based on the past four quarters).
Return on shareholders' equity shows the total re
turn, in accounting terms, on shareholders' capital
and reflects the effects of both the profitability of
the operations and of financial leverage. The
measure is primarily used to analyze profitability
for shareholders over time.
Return on operating
capital
EBITA, rolling 12-month (RTM), as a percentage
of average operating capital (average calculated
based on the past four quarters).
Return on operating capital shows how well the
operations use the net capital tied up in the oper
ations. This reflects the combined effect of the op
erating margin and the turnover rate for operating
capital. The key ratio is mainly used to track the
Group's value creation over time.
Share data Calculation Purpose
Cash flow per share before/
after dilution
Cash flow from operating activities for the period
divided by the weighted average number of
shares outstanding for the period before/after
dilution.
This key ratio measures the cash flow per share
generated by the operations before capital invest
ments and cash flows attributable to the com
pany's financing.
Shareholders' equity per share
before/
after dilution
Shareholders' equity attributable to Parent Com
pany shareholders divided by the number of
shares outstanding at the end of the period be
fore/after dilution.
This key ratio serves to describe the scale of the
company's net worth per share.
