2) Other items include material acquisition-related items. Current acquisition-related items are depreciation of acquired intangible
assets relating to the acquisitions of FTZ, Inter-Team, MECA and Sørensen og Balchen.
Mekonomen Group's total net sales rose 90 per cent in the second quarter to SEK 3,100 M (1,633) due to the acquisition of FTZ and Inter-Team.
The organic net sales were in line with the strong second quarter last year, despite adverse impact of Easter falling in second quarter this year compared to in the first quarter last year. In the second quarter, sales growth remains favorable to affiliated workshops in all business areas, which is the portion of the market that we regard as strategically most important for growth.
Unlike a weaker market in large parts of Europe during the quarter, we estimate that the Swedish and Norwegian markets have grown in line with our expectations of a long-term sales growth of 1 – 2 per cent, adjusted for the Easter impact. Further, the growth in the Polish market remained strong, while the development in the Danish market was more in line with Europe in general.
The acquired companies FTZ and Inter-Team generally have, in line with our expectations, lower gross margins than the other business areas, which have had adversely effect on the Group's gross margin. During the quarter, the Group's gross margin was also negatively affected by customer/product mix and increased purchasing prices within MECA/Mekonomen due to the weak SEK against EUR. The margin amounted to 44.5 per cent (55.7) in the quarter.
In the second quarter, adjusted EBIT rose to SEK 280 M (217) and EBIT rose to SEK 240 M (173).
Due to Easter impacts and weather conditions during the Spring season, the Group's development over the first six months of the year provides a more comparable view of its performance instead of the quarters separated. For the first six months the organic net sales increased by 1 per cent.
Inter-Team reported a strong sales growth in the second quarter1), driven by high export sales, strong growth in the Polish market and estimated gained market shares. FTZ reported a marginally lower sales compared to second quarter last year1) , negatively affected by Easter effect and a slow Danish market in general. We estimate that FTZ retained its market shares.
Organic growth in the MECA/Mekonomen was 1 per cent in the second quarter. Adjusted for the impact of the low demand during Easter, organic growth was 2 per cent. EBIT fell to SEK 145 M (186), adversely impacted primarily by fewer workdays, low demand during Easter, customer/product mix and an increase in purchasing costs due to weak SEK.
Sales in Sørensen og Balchen were adversely affected by weak consumer sales in Norway and low demand during the Easter holiday. The organic net sales fell by 7 percent. Continued efficient cost control adjusted to lower sales resulted in an EBIT in line with last year of SEK 38 (39) M.
During the second half of 2019, our main focus remains on increasing profitability and increasing cash flow.
The cost-savings programme initiated at the beginning of the year proceeding as planned, with limited effects in second quarter. The programme will generate cost reductions of SEK 65 M on an annual basis, with full effect at the end of fourth quarter 2019.
The project to address unprofitable operations has resulted in a stabilisation of the development within the workshop equipment company Preqas and our proprietary workshops. For Mekonomen Finland, we do not yet see the same positive impact, and since this Spring we are taking further measures linked to the business model and increased efficiency. I would like to emphasize that I am not satisfied with the development in recent years when it comes to our unprofitable operations in the Group. As previously communicated, the businesses must show good profitability in the reasonable future to continue to be a part of the Group.
The work of generating purchasing synergies from the acquisition of FTZ and Inter-Team, and the merger of MECA and Mekonomen's central warehouse in Sweden, are proceeding as planned.
During the summer, we conducted a comprehensive customer survey among the Group's affiliated workshops and other workshops. The results show that availability regarding the product range, fast deliveries and close cooperation with the local branch are important parameters for the workshops. It is gratifying that it is also in these areas the workshops have been given the highest rating. The survey also shows that future confidence in growth is high, more than half of all the workshops that participated in the survey indicate that their operations will expand in the coming years.
I see that we are well equipped for the future. I look forward to the remaining 2019 and to continue developing our business in an efficient way and with our customers in focus.
Pehr Oscarson President and CEO

1) Acquisition costs pertaining to April–June 2018 of SEK 19 M and to September–November 2018 of SEK 4 M have been transferred from MECA/Mekonomen to central functions.
The MECA/Mekonomen business area mainly includes wholesale, store, workshop and fleet operations in Sweden, Norway and Finland. The segment consists of the previously reportable segments MECA and Mekonomen, together with minor operations that were previously reported in "Other segments", Tunga Fordon, Preqas, Meko Service Nordic, Speedy, AlltiBil and Mekster. Comparative figures have been restated.
MECA/Mekonomen reported a favorable sales trend in the second quarter. Organic sales growth was 1 per cent, despite the adverse impact from low demand for workshop services during days before and after the Easter weekend. Adjusted for this effect the organic growth was 2 per cent, in line with our expectations of an annually market growth of 1 – 2 per cent in the Nordic region. Sales growth was primarily driven by a favorable increase in sales to affiliated concept workshops and a number of minor acquisitions.
In the second quarter gross margin was negatively affected mainly by increased purchasing prices due to weak SEK and customer/product mix. The fall in year-on-year EBIT in the quarter is mainly an effect of lower gross margin.
Net sales totalled SEK 1,447 M (1,422) for the quarter, of which net sales in the Swedish operations amounted to SEK 889 M (858), in the Norwegian operations to SEK 544 M (552) and in the Finnish operations to SEK 14 M (12). During the six-month period, net sales amounted to SEK 2,809 M (2,671), of which net sales in the Swedish operations totalled SEK 1,720 M (1,618), in the Norwegian operations SEK 1,063 M (1,031) and in the Finnish operations SEK 26 M (22). The currency effect on net sales against the NOK was a positive SEK 5 M during the quarter and a positive SEK 21 M for the six-month period. In the quarter, the number of workdays was one day less in Finland and Sweden and two less in Norway compared with the year-earlier quarter and one less in Finland, Sweden and Norway during the six-month period. Organic growth increased 1 per cent during the second quarter and 2 per cent for the six-month period. EBIT for the segment amounted to SEK 145 M (186) in the second quarter and the EBIT margin was 10 per cent (13). In the second quarter, EBIT was impacted by items affecting comparability of SEK - M (neg: 6).

The Sørensen og Balchen business area mainly includes wholesale and store operations in Norway.
Sørensen og Balchen is the segment in the Group with the largest share of direct sales to consumers and is therefore more exposed to increasing competition in the retail trade than the Group as a whole. The organic net sales in Sørensen og Balchen decreased by 7 per cent, primarily adversed impacted by weak consumer sales and low demand for workshop service during days before and after the Easter weekend. The weak net sales were offset by continued effective cost control during the quarter, adapted to market conditions, and the business area reported an EBIT in line with second quarter 2018.
Net sales amounted to SEK 207 M (209) for the quarter and to SEK 391 M (390) for the six-month period. Currency effects on net sales against the NOK were a positive SEK 2 M for the second quarter and a positive SEK 8 M for the six-month period. The number of workdays was two less in Norway compared with the year-earlier quarter, but one day less for the six-month period. Organic growth decreased 7 per cent during the second quarter and by 10 per cent for the six-month period. Sørensen og Balchen's EBIT totalled SEK 38 M (39) for the second quarter and the EBIT margin was 18 per cent (18). For the six-month period, EBIT was SEK 62 M (53), including items affecting comparability of SEK - M (neg: 7), and the EBIT margin was 16 per cent (13).

The company conducted a review and assessment of operating and financial risks and uncertainties in accordance with the 2018 Annual Report and found that no new significant risks have occurred since then. For the effect of exchange-rate fluctuations on profit before tax, refer to page 38 of the 2018 Annual Report. For a full presentation of the risks affecting the Group, refer to the 2018 Annual Report.
The Parent Company's operations mainly comprise Group Management and functions that support the Group's work, such as Group Finance/controlling, internal audit, sustainability, legal and joint purchasing. The Parent Company's earnings after financial items were a negative SEK 49 M (neg: 10) for the second quarter and a negative SEK 111 M (neg: 14) for the six-month period excluding share dividends of SEK 332 M (340) for the six-month period. The average number of employees in the Parent Company was six (five). During the second quarter, Mekonomen AB sold goods and services to Group companies for SEK 11 M (6) and for SEK 20 M (11) in the six-month period.
"Central functions" comprise Group-wide functions that also include Mekonomen AB and operations in ProMeister Solutions. The units reported in "Central functions" do not reach the quantitative thresholds for separate reporting, and the benefits of reporting these segments separately are considered limited for users of financial statements. EBIT for "Central functions" was a negative SEK 6 M (neg: 33) for the second quarter and negative SEK 15 M (neg: 40) for the half year.
"Other items" includes acquisition-related items attributable to Mekonomen AB's direct acquisitions. Current acquisition-related items are amortisations of acquired intangible assets pertaining to the acquisitions of MECA, Sørensen og Balchen, FTZ and Inter-Team totalling an expense of SEK 39 M (expense: 19) for the second quarter and an expense of SEK 78 M (expense: 39) for the six month-period.
During the period, a long-term, share-based incentive programme was launched as resolved by the AGM on 2 May 2019, LTIP 2019. LTIP 2019 replaces the programme approved at the 2018 AGM (LTIP 2018), where no allotment has taken place. The main motivation for establishing LTIP 2019 is to connect the shareholders' and company management and other key individuals' interests to ensure maximum long-term value generation and to encourage individual share ownership in Mekonomen.
The maximum number of shares in Mekonomen that can be allocated as part of LTIP 2019 is according to the AGM resolution of 2 May limited to 105,000 (including any dividend compensation) to 19 participants. The actual number of participants is 17 and the number of shares required to cover the company's commitment according to LTIP amounts to 93,250 shares.
LTIP 2019 encompass 17 employees comprising company management in Mekonomen as well as certain other key individuals in the Group. Participation in LTIP 2019 requires some individual share ownership in Mekonomen. After the established vesting period, which runs until 31 March 2022, participants will be allocated shares free of charge in Mekonomen provided that certain conditions are met. These conditions are linked to continuing employment in Mekonomen Group, individual share ownership in Mekonomen as well as the performance of total shareholder return (TSR) and earnings per share (EPS). The expected average cost per year amounts to SEK 1.1 M and the maximum annual cost amounts to SEK 1.8 M, meaning SEK 3.3 M and SEK 5.8 M respectively for the entire programme over three years.
For a more detailed description of LTIP 2019, refer to information from the AGM on 5 May 2019 at www.mekonomen.com
To ensure the supply of shares in accordance with LTIP 2019, between 3 and 10 July 2019 the company has repurchased 30,000 shares. The company already held 63,250 own shares intended for LTIP 2018, which has now been replaced by LTIP 2019. On 10 July 2019, the company held 93,250 own shares to ensure the supply of shares related to LTIP 2019. Since the total number of shares in Mekonomen amounts to 56,416,622, this corresponds to 0.17 per cent.
Mekonomen Group applies the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. This interim report was prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The same accounting policies and measurement methods were applied as in the most recent Annual Report with the exception of IFRS 16. The application of IFRS 16 entailed changes to the Group's accounting policies and has affected accounting, measuring and reporting certain amounts presented in the income statement and balance sheet. A description of the new accounting policies is provided below. This interim report consists of pages 1-23 and should be read in its entirety.
As of 1 January 2019, Mekonomen Group applies IFRS 16 Leases, which has replaced the earlier standard IAS 17. In accordance with IAS 17, lessees classified leases as either finance or operating. The agreements classified as operating were not recognised as assets and liabilities in the balance sheet. According to the new standard, IFRS 16, lessees do not distinguish between operating and finance leases and recognise in essentially all leases as a right-of-use asset and lease liability in the balance sheet. Leases are recognised in the balance sheet on the day the leased asset is available for use by the Group. Amortisation of the asset is recognised in EBIT and interest on the lease liability in net financial items. The new standard will therefore have a slightly positive impact on EBIT since part of the leasing expense is recognised as an interest expense in net financial items. Recognised EBITDA will increase substantially as recognised rental charges will decrease at the same time as amortisation of right-of-use assets increases. Lease expenses recognised partly as payment of interest, partly as amortisation of lease liability. Cash flow for the amortisation of the lease liability is presented as financing activities. Payment of the interest element is presented as other interest payments in operating activities. The main impact on the Group is in leases pertaining to the lease of premises and vehicles.
The Group has chosen the modified retrospective approach and, according to the standard, does not restate comparative figures. Lease liability was the total of the present value of all future lease fees and the right-of-use assets corresponding to the lease liability adjusted for pre paid and accrued lease expenses. The Group has elected to recognise lease liabilities and right-of-use assets on separate lines in the balance sheet from 2019, thereby assets and liabilities relating to finance leases according to the earlier IAS 17 were reclassified to the new balance sheet items. Equity was not effected by the transition.
The Group has elected to apply a number of the exemption rules available in conjunction with the transition to IFRS 16 of which the most significant concern the exclusion of leases that on the transition date had a remaining time to maturity of up to 12 months. In addition to the exemption rules in conjunction with the transition, the Group continuously applies the practical exemptions that mean leases with a lease term of up to 12 months and leases where the underlying asset has a low value are excluded from the calculation of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. These are expensed on a straight-line basis in profit or loss. The simplified approach for the definition of a lease has been applied, meaning all components of an agreement were considered as leasing components. Furthermore, Mekonomen Group has chosen not to apply IFRS 16 relating to intangible assets as this option was available according to the standard.
Leases that were classified as operating leases under IAS 17 were previously not recognised in the lessee's balance sheet. Future undiscounted minimum lease payments for these contracts were recognised, however, in Note 14 of the 2018 Annual Report at SEK 1,737 M. This compares with lease liabilities for right-of-use assets in the balance sheet on 1 January 2019 of SEK 2,010 M. The difference is primarily attributable to the effect of longer maturities for several leases as probable extensions to contracts with extension clauses are included under IFRS 16. The likelihood that extension clauses for local contracts will be exercised have been assessed based on factors such as the market situation for the property and its significance for business operations. An incremental borrowing rate was determined on the basis of country, term of the loan and creditworthiness for each unit. The total value of the right-of-use asset amounted to SEK 2,065 M on 1 January 2019. For more information on accounting policies for IFRS 16, refer to page 57 of the 2018 Annual Report.
Totals quoted in tables and statements may not always be the exact sum of the individual items because of rounding differences. The aim is that each line item should correspond to its source, and rounding differences may therefore arise.
The Parent Company prepares its accounts in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 and applies the same accounting policies and measurement methods as in the most recent Annual Report.
As of the first quarter of 2019, Mekonomen Group implemented a new organisation that is better adapted to the business. The organisational change and related changes to internal control have also affected the segment reporting. As of the first quarter of 2019, Mekonomen Group will present four business areas: FTZ, Inter-Team, MECA/Mekonomen and Sørensen og Balchen.
The MECA/Mekonomen business area consists of the previously reportable segments MECA and Mekonomen, together with minor operations that were previously reported in "Other segments," – Tunga Fordon, Preqas, Meko Service Nordic, Speedy, AlltiBil and Mekster. The FTZ, Inter-Team and Sørensen og Balchen segments are unchanged. Central functions includes Group-wide functions that also include Mekonomen AB and operations in ProMeister Solutions. Comparative figures have been restated.

As of the January–June 2016 interim report, Mekonomen applies the Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures issued by ESMA*. An alternative performance measure is a financial measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that are not defined or specified in IFRS. Mekonomen believes that these measures valuable supplementary information to company management, investors and other stakeholders in evaluating the company's performance. The alternative performance measures are not always comparable with measures used by other companies since not all companies calculate these measures in the same way. These should therefore be seen as a supplement to the measures defined according to IFRS. For definitions of key figures, refer to page 20. For relevant reconciliations of the alternative performance measures that cannot be directly read in or derived from the financial statements, refer to the tables below. For historical reconciliations of alternative performance measures, refer also to supplements to the 2016, 2017 and 2018 Annual Reports on our website: https://www.mekonomen.com/en/alternative-performance-measures/
