A strong start to 2021
It is with humility and pride that I can report that Inwido's positive development continues. We have begun the year with our best first quarter to date in terms of sales, profits and order intake. During the period, we managed to realize our order backlog from the start of the year into very good sales growth. With the acquisition of MV Center in Finland, we also took an important step to further accelerate our growth ambitions.
Backed by a positive consumer market and a continued high growth rate in e-commerce, net sales increased by 18 percent organically to SEK 1,644 million (1,448). Operating EBITA rose to SEK 121 million (48) and the operating EBITA margin rose to 7.3 percent (3.3). Bolstered by strong profits, we enter the second quarter with a record order backlog of SEK 1,471 million, up 43 percent. At the same time, it is important to note that the first quarter is seasonally our weakest, both in terms of sales and profit.

Strong consumer markets in South and North
Business Area South continued to develop strongly, with solid growth and improved profit. Sales increased organically by 25 percent and operating EBITA rose by 57 percent to SEK 105 million (67), lifting the operating EBITA margin to 14.6 percent (11.0). In Denmark, our business units continued to capitalize on a stable consumer market and, through vigorous efforts, they also managed to use the new building standards introduced at the start of the year (demanding greater energy efficiency) to further strengthen their business. In the UK and Ireland, we are now seeing a potential for recovery as society reopens. E-Commerce continued its profitable growth journey, growing organically by 34 percent over the quarter. In Business Area North, we are seeing a pleasing trend, with all business units improving their profits, bringing the business area from loss back to profit compared with the corresponding quarter last year. Sales increased organically by 13 percent and operating EBITA increased to SEK 26 million (loss 2), lifting the operating EBITA margin to 2.9 percent (negative 0.2). It is pleasing to note that the recent quarters' margin improvements in BA North are continuing and accelerating.
Acquisition of MV Center
Shortly after the end of the quarter, Finnish MV Center was acquired, which specializes in aluminium and steel doors, as well as windows and glass facades. MV Center achieves annual sales of slightly more than SEK 100 million. This acquisition brings a successful company into the Group and strengthens our presence in an expansive Finnish region. Based on a strong balance sheet, we have accelerated our acquisition efforts and are in discussions with several potential companies.
Covid-19
Covid-19 had a limited negative impact during the quarter. In Sweden, particularly, our production efficiency has been affected by a higher than normal sick leave. Over the quarter, lockdowns in the UK in general, and in Ireland in particular, had a negative impact on construction activity and therefore also on our business. On the other hand, we are continuing to see a strong trend of home investment and altered purchasing behaviour, with increased e-commerce in the wake of Covid-19. We are monitoring developments closely to be able to respond quickly if and when the situation so demands.
Future prospects
During the first three months of the year, we continued to build on our position as Europe's leading supplier of windows, with our eighth consecutive quarter with strengthened margins. On the positive side, we see ahead of us continued healthy demand in the consumer market for the near future, a strong e-commerce trend and a stabilizing industry market. On the flipside of the coin, we see increased inflationary pressure, with a limited supply of input materials, bringing short-term pressure on margins before we can fully adjust our sales prices. With our size and market presence, we also see potential in the situation and are working tirelessly to be the best option for our customers. With a decentralized and results-focused organization, we are driven by the urge to keep developing our Group, regardless of the challenges with which we are confronted. We remain optimistic, while nonetheless humble, regarding both our short and long-term prospects.

Group
Net sales and order intake
Inwido entered the first quarter of the year with a strong order book, which resulted in the Group's net sales increasing to SEK 1,644 million (1,448) for the quarter. This corresponds to an organic growth rate of 18 percent.
| Analysis of net sales | Jan-Mar 2021 (SEKm) | Jan-Mar 2020 (SEKm) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net sales | 14% | 1,644 | 1,448 |
| Organic growth | 18% | 245 | -13 |
| Structural effects | 0% | 0 | 0 |
| Currency effects | -3% | -49 | 18 |
Reported order intake was 15 percent higher in the first quarter compared with the corresponding quarter last year. Order intake rose by 12 percent in Business Area North and by 21 percent in Business Area South. Inwido's e-commerce operations continued to grow strongly, with order intake rising by 34 percent over the quarter. At the end of the period, net sales amounted to SEK 1,471 million (1,031), an increase of 43 percent compared with the corresponding point in time last year. This is the Group's largest order backlog to date.

RTM = Rolling Twelve Months

Operating EBITA
EBITA
EBITA more than doubled to SEK 121 million (48), the highest first-quarter figure to date. At the same time, the EBITA margin rose to 7.3 percent (3.3). A significant increase in sales and a more advantageous mix, combined with good cost control, resulted in improved profitability.
Net financial items
In the first quarter, net financial items amounted to a net SEK 11 million (negative 43), while the Group's net interest amounted to an expense of SEK 6 million (10). The discrepancy compared with last year's net financial items is primarily explained by positive exchange rate effects.
Profit before and after tax
Profit before tax rose to SEK 128 million (1) in the first quarter. Income taxes amounted to SEK 28 million (income 5) and profit after tax rose to SEK 99 million (6), partly as a consequence of the aforementioned positive currency effects regarding net financial items.
Earnings per share
In the first quarter, earnings per share before and after dilution increased to SEK 1.71 (0.10).
Effects of Covid-19 and reporting of government subsidies
From an operational and financial perspective, the negative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Group's operations is relatively limited, with some exceptions.
Inwido AB | Interim Report | January-March 2021
Corporate Identity No: 556633-3828
inwido
In Business Area North, some of the business units, particularly in Sweden, have had higher sick-leave than normal. Over the first quarter of the year, Business Area South, and the Irish business unit in particular, experienced decreased activity attributable to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Government subsidies related to the Covid-19 pandemic amounted to SEK 3 million in the first quarter and are reported as a cost reduction. The Swedish business units received most of these subsidies pertaining to expenses for sick pay. Temporary respites with taxes and fees related to the Covid-19 pandemic totalled SEK 3 million as of 31 March 2021 and are booked as non-interest-bearing liabilities.
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 amounted to SEK 0 million (0) in the first quarter.
Gross investments, depreciation, amortization and impairment
Gross investments in tangible fixed assets decreased to SEK 29 million (45) in the first quarter. Amortization, depreciation and impairment totalled SEK 58 million (61).
Cash flow
Cash flow from operating activities after changes in working capital in the first quarter was negative in the amount of SEK 74 million (positive 33). The deviation from the preceding year is mainly explained by a higher level of activity, which resulted in additional working capital being tied up over the first quarter.
Cash flow from investing activities in the first quarter was negative in the amount of SEK 31 million, (49). The deviation from the previous year is primarily explained by a decrease in the investment level in the first quarter of 2021.
Cash flow from financing activities in the first quarter was negative in the amount of SEK 40 million (positive 473). The deviation compared with the preceding year is mainly explained by liabilities being amortized, combined with Inwido having chosen, in the year-earlier period, to increase its utilization of existing credit facilities for preventive purposes due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Financial position and liquidity
Inwido's principal financing consists of bank loans based on credit agreements expiring in the period 2022-2025. The aforementioned credit agreement includes financial covenants that are followed up on a quarterly basis. Inwido meets the terms of existing credit agreements.
The Group's net debt at the end of the period amounted to SEK 868 million (1,831) excluding IFRS 16 and to SEK 1,234 million (2,199) including IFRS 16. Behind the improvement is a continued strong cash flow from operating activities, combined with a reduction in the amount of working capital tied up.
At the end of the period, indebtedness, calculated as interest-bearing net debt/operating EBITDA, was 0.9 (2.3) excluding IFRS 16, and 1.2 (2.5) including IFRS 16. Consolidated cash and equivalents were SEK 1,010 million (705) at the end of the period. Available funds, including unutilized credit facilities, amounted to SEK 2,364 million (1,621).
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 last 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 4,167 (4,196) in the period January-March 2021.
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
Share capital at 31 December 2020 amounted to SEK 231,870,112 and the number of shares totalled 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 144 and the company's market capitalization was SEK 8,347 million. At the end of the period, there was a total of 11,360 shareholders.
Pledged assets and contingent liabilities
No significant changes in pledged assets or contingent liabilities occurred during the period.
Events after the end of the period
On 16 April, Inwido acquired the Finnish company MV Center. With the acquisition of family company Metallityö Välimäki Oy (MV Center), which specializes in aluminium and steel doors, as well as windows and glass facades, Inwido adds a successful company and a new, exciting product range to Business Area North. The company has about 45 employees and its operations are located in Nokia, near Tampere. In 2020, the company generated sales of slightly more than SEK 100 million.
The acquisition of MV Center is being financed through available cash and will have a marginally positive impact on Inwido's earnings per share. The purchase consideration is in line with Inwido's normal multiples. The former owners will retain a 25-percent shareholding for a period of at least three years. The purchase consideration for the remaining shares will be based on the future financial performance of MV Center.
Future prospects
During the first three months of the year, we continued to build on our position as Europe's leading supplier of windows, with our eighth consecutive quarter with strengthened margins. On the positive side, we see ahead of us continued healthy demand in the consumer market for the near future, a strong e-commerce trend and a stabilizing industry market. On the flipside of the coin, we see increased inflationary pressure, with a limited supply of input materials, bringing short-term pressure on margins before we can fully adjust our sales prices. With our size and market presence, we also see potential in the situation and are working tirelessly to be the best option for our customers. With a decentralized and results-focused organization, we are driven by the urge to keep developing our Group, regardless of the challenges with which we are confronted. We remain optimistic, while nonetheless humble, regarding both our short and long-term prospects.

Business Area North – improved margin for all business units
During the first quarter of the year, net sales rose by 11 percent to SEK 887 million (801), corresponding to an organic increase of 13 percent.
Order intake increased by 12 percent and, at the end of the period, the order backlog was 25 percent higher than at the close of the corresponding period last year.
All business units reported improved profits despite some challenges in the form of higher than normal sick leave in some of the Swedish units due to Covid-19 restrictions. Relatively good consumer demand and continued favourable cost control contributed to the improved margins.
The operating EBITA margin for the first quarter amounted to 2.9 percent (negative 0.2).

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 2020 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.
Note 2 – Risks and uncertainties
Inwido’s operations are subject to various risks. Operational 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 2020 Annual Report. Beyond these, no significant additional risks or uncertainties have arisen. See below for comments on Covid-19.
The continued developments with regard to the Covid-19 pandemic are a major focus within Inwido and the company is doing its utmost to safeguard the health of our employees, our impact on the communities in which we operate, particularly in terms of limiting the spread of infection, and minimizing any adverse effects on our operations. From an operational and financial perspective, the negative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Group’s operations has been relatively limited, with certain exceptions. In the current situation, it has become clear that consumers are tending to invest more in their homes, probably because more people are spending more time at home, which has generally benefited traditional sales, but particularly Inwido’s e-commerce operations.
In Business Area North, certain Swedish business units have experienced some operational disruptions from delayed deliveries of input goods and greater absence due to illness than normal.

Note 5 – Acquisitions of businesses
On 16 April, Inwido acquired the Finnish company MV Center. With the acquisition of family company Metallityö Välimäki Oy (MV Center), which specializes in aluminium and steel doors, as well as windows and glass facades, Inwido adds a successful company and a new, exciting product range to Business Area North. The company has about 45 employees and its operations are located in Nokia, near Tampere. In 2020, the company generated sales of slightly more than SEK 100 million.
The acquisition of MV Center is being financed through available cash and will have a marginally positive impact on Inwido’s earnings per share. The purchase consideration is in line with Inwido’s normal multiples. The former owners will retain a 25-percent shareholding for a period of at least three years. The purchase consideration for the remaining shares will be based on the future financial performance of MV Center.

Definitions of alternative key ratios not defined by IFRS
Inwido presents certain alternative financial key ratios beyond the conventional financial key ratios established by IFRS, in order to better understand the development of the operations 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 current period divided by net sales including pro forma acquired growth during the corresponding period in the preceding year. The change is adjusted for exchange rate fluctuations by applying the current period’s exchange rates to pro forma net sales during the corresponding period in the preceding year. | Organic growth excludes the effects of changes in the Group’s structure and exchange rates, enabling 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 financing and depreciation rates on non-current assets. The key ratio is also adjusted for the impact of items affecting comparability to increase comparability over time. The key ratio is a central component in the bank covenant Net debt/operating EBITDA. |
| EBITA | Operating profit after depreciation, amortization and impairment but before deduction for impairment of goodwill as well as amortization and impairment 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 impairment of acquisition-related intangible assets, and regardless of the corporate tax rate and the company’s financing structure. Depreciation of tangible assets is, however, included, this being a measure of resource consumption necessary to generate earnings. |
| 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 financial target for the operations. |
| Items affecting comparability | Income statement items that are non-recurring, have a significant impact on profit and are important for understanding the underlying development of operations. | A separate account of items affecting comparability elucidates development in the underlying operations. |
| 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 enables comparison with other companies, regardless of each company's depreciation/amortization principles and the age structure of non-current assets. |
|---|---|---|
| EBITA margin | EBITA as a percentage of net sales. | This key ratio reflects the operating profitability of the operations before amortization and impairment of acquisition-related intangible assets. The key ratio is an important component, alongside with 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 impact 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 component, alongside with sales growth and capital turnover 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 development of debt and to see the scope of the refinancing 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 liabilities, 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 between the Group's two forms of financing. The measure shows loan capital as a share of shareholders' invested capital. The measure reflects financial strength but also the leverage effect of borrowings. A higher debt ratio entails higher financial risk and higher financial leverage. |
| Interest coverage ratio | Profit after net financial items plus financial expenses 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 interests as a percentage of total assets. | This key ratio reflects the company's financial position. A favourable 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 interest-bearing assets and non-interest-bearing provisions and liabilities. | Operating capital shows the amount of capital that the business requires to conduct its core operations. It is primarily used for the calculation of return on operating capital. |

| Return measures | Calculation | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Return on shareholders’ equity | Profit after tax, rolling 12-month (RTM), attributable to the Parent Company’s shareholders as a percentage of average shareholders’ equity, excluding non-controlling interest (average calculated based on the past four quarters). | Return on shareholders’ equity shows the total return, 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 | Operating profit, 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 operations. This reflects the combined effect of the operating 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 investments and cash flows attributable to the company’s financing. |
| Shareholders’ equity per share before/after dilution | Shareholders’ equity attributable to Parent Company shareholders divided by the number of shares outstanding at the end of the period before/after dilution. | This key ratio serves to describe the scale of the company’s net worth per share. |
| Market segment | Description | |
| Consumer | Sales to the consumer market are conducted through the following channels: direct sales, retailers, middlemen, manufacturers of prefabricated homes, small building companies. | |
| Industry | Sales to the industry market are conducted through the following channels: large building companies, retailers, manufacturers of prefabricated homes. |
