Sven Kristensson CEO

The environmental technology company Nederman's positive momentum continues. The second quarter of 2022 noted a new strong improvement in orders received, higher sales, a strong cash flow and continued increase in profits. As in the first quarter, logistics problems, component shortages and covid-19-related lockdowns hampered deliveries and thereby dampened sales and profit, problems that particularly affected two of our divisions. Meanwhile, the group's record-strong order backlog is now just over SEK 800m higher than at the same point last year. This supports positive sales development as we move forward. Nederman is therefore making progress on its journey towards achieving sales of SEK 5 billion. The group's long-term strong trend also supports our new profitability target, to reach an adjusted EBITA margin of at least 14 percent in the long term. In the second quarter, the adjusted EBITA margin amounted to 10.6 percent (11.6).

Our position as technology leader and the growing interest in clean air solutions in more and more industries throughout the world provide us with a solid platform from which we can continue to further advance our positions. In the second quarter, by among other things booking a significant order in the USA, we have established a position in non-woven, which complements our textile segment, and we are continuing to grow in important industries of the future, such as renewable energy and recycling. Our advanced digital solutions also contribute to lower energy costs in production, providing us with particularly significant potential in a macro environment with high energy prices over an extended period. There is substantial demand for energy-efficient solutions in all industries.

We are continuing to review our production and presence in order to become even more efficient. In Thomasville, US, we began constructing our expanded factory and warehouse that will enable faster deliveries to customers, and we have decided to invest in a new manufacturing and logistics site in Helsingborg, Sweden. Along with this, we will establish a global innovation centre that will further acce-

CEO's comments

Continued high order growth

Nederman continues to advance in the global market for industrial air filtration. During the second quarter, the group's currency-neutral orders received grew by a full 23 percent and sales by 12 percent. Adjusted EBITA increased to SEK 124.5m (113.1), giving an adjusted EBITA margin of 10.6 percent (11.6).

lerate our technological development. During the quarter, we also conducted a minor acquisition to create a platform for growth in Australia, a market with great potential for our leading offering within air filtration.

HIGH LEVEL OF ACTIVITY IN OUR DIVISIONS

Activity levels remained high in our divisions during the quarter. Our largest division, Nederman Extraction & Filtration Technology, demonstrated a strong improvement in orders received and continued healthy profitability. Nederman Process Technology continues to win new orders in all of its segments, but various market challenges have dampened sales growth even if growth was still good. The record order backlog grew further. Nederman Duct & Filter Technology reported strong order and sales growth, particularly in the main market of the US. Continued problems with component supplies and covid-19-related lockdowns dampened Nederman Monitoring & Control Technology's sales and thus also profitability. Nevertheless, the order backlog is strong.

OUR CAUTIOUS OPTIMISM REMAINS

Although the development in our divisions is positive, we are seeing that the problems in our supply chain and the high prices of energy, materials and logistics are impacting customers' investment decisions and the possibility of conducting business, as well as our own production and ability to deliver. In addition, there is uncertainty due to the geopolitical concerns across the globe. Despite these concerns and uncertainty in the market, we remain cautiously optimistic about future quarters in view of, for example, our strong orders received in the past year.

Nederman Extraction & Filtration Technology

The division produced a significant improvement in orders received, driven by both a strong base business and a number of large orders. Currency-neutral orders received grew by 18 percent during the quarter. Sales grew, currency-neutral, by 1.5 percent and the adjusted EBITA margin amounted to 16.9 percent (18.1).

DEVELOPMENT DURING THE QUARTER

The strong orders received during the second quarter encompassed all sales channels and most markets. Six major orders were booked, compared with two during the same quarter last year, and the quarter ended with a record order backlog. Sales in service and aftermarket continued to develop well.

In EMEA, the division's largest region, the trend was positive in most markets, of which several displayed double-digit sales growth. Service and solutions displayed the strongest trend while product sales were unchanged compared with the same period last year. Four major orders were booked, of which two were in the Nordic region. In Sweden, an order was secured in the defence industry and in Denmark from a window manufacturer. In the UK, an order was received for an exhaust extraction solution for a formula 1 team and in Spain an order was secured in the aerospace industry. The strong trend in service and aftermarket encompassed all markets and a large number of industries.

Americas displayed high order growth in all markets. The trend encompassed to all channels with solutions taking the lead. Service and aftermarket grew by just over 30 percent. Two major orders were secured in the US in the wood industry. Moreover, a large number of mid-sized orders received were distributed between all markets in the region and many different industries, though above all in construction and the furniture industry.

Following a challenging first quarter, APAC again displayed order growth in the second quarter. However, the trend in China remained weak due to covid-19-related lockdowns in the country. Development was particularly weak for solutions. For the region as a whole, product sales and sales in service and aftermarket were strong for the quarter.

• A decision was taken to construct a new site in Helsingborg, Sweden, entirely in line with the division's ambition to optimise logistics flows, strengthen production capacity and drive innovation.
• Freight problems continue to affect the supply chain, which gave rise to challenges in obtaining input goods in the normal time and led to additional work to meet customer needs.

The division continued to grow in the second quarter. Compared with the corresponding quarter of 2021, orders received currency-neutral grew by 34 percent and sales by 23 percent, despite the negative impact of covid-19-related lockdowns in China. A favourable sales mix and price adjustments offset increased costs for raw materials and energy, which overall led to improved profitability. The adjusted EBITA margin amounted to 3.8 percent (0.6).

DEVELOPMENT DURING THE QUARTER

The strong orders received in the past year, which included all segments and markets, have continued to gradually yield increased sales, despite the lockdowns in China dampening development to a certain extent in 2022. An order backlog more than twice as large as a year ago also provides a good platform for continued solid sales growth well into 2023. During the second quarter, the service business continued to grow, which helped to strengthen the division's profitability.

The textile segment continued to perform well, with a high level of orders received in almost all markets. China was again the exception. To a greater extent, international textile producers are choosing to increase investments in markets such as Turkey, India and Latin America. Development in India is particularly strong. To meet demand, the division's local manufacturing continues to operate with an extra shift. Three major textile orders were secured during the quarter. Moreover, a significant and pioneering order was received in the related nonwoven segment from a company in the US that is active in the hygiene sector.

The strong sustainability trend in the foundry and smelter segment is creating increased demand for the division's solutions in the recycling industry in Europe. Several new major orders were secured during the quarter, including from a foundry customer in Turkey. This is a market where the division has endeavoured to increase its exposure in recent years.

The segment for customised solutions is the most cyclical and often comprises large and relatively complex projects. During the quarter, several medium-sized orders were registered and there is a continued strong pipeline. Despite a challenging market with disruptions to the supply chain, project execution has been accelerated, which helped to improve the division's profitability in the quarter.

• The division further improved its working capital position, driven primarily by continued strong orders received with the resulting advance payments.
• The division has adjusted prices on selected products in order to defend the gross margin against continued cost pressure from rising materials and energy prices.
• The challenges in the supply and logistics chain remained as a result of such factors as the extensive covid-19-related lockdowns in China. This affects both the division's sales, due to the postponement of project starts, and project costs. Two of the division's four factories are located in China, where key components are manufactured for other markets.

The division's strong development continued. Orders received grew currency-neutral by 36 percent, driven by several major orders and even more efficient sales processes. Currency-neutral sales grew by 29 percent, driven by among other things strong orders received in the preceding quarter. Higher raw materials costs contributed to the decline in the adjusted EBITA margin to 14.8 percent (18.8).

DEVELOPMENT DURING THE QUARTER

The positive development during the quarter encompassed both of the division's segments and all regions. Filter was particularly strong. Orders received and sales rose compared with the immediately preceding quarter, and were strongest towards the end of the quarter.

The division's ducting systems, under the Nordfab brand, displayed strong development compared with corresponding quarter in 2021. Both orders received and sales of ducting systems grew in the US, though the continued rise in costs for materials, personnel and maintenance dampened profitability.

Ducting systems in Europe noted a sharp increase in orders received and sales. In particular, the UK contributed to orders received, as many existing resellers placed further orders and new orders were added to the major kitchen factory project that was booked in the first quarter. A new framework agreement was also secured with a major OEM customer.

Thailand demonstrated a good increase in sales, driven by an expanding order backlog from previous quarters and the emergence of new local resellers.

The division's filter solutions, under the Menardi brand, displayed very strong growth in orders received and sales. Sales in the US during the quarter were the strongest ever for a single quarter, with the clearest improvement noted towards the end of the quarter. The filter solutions business in Europe displayed strong growth in sales and orders received.

• The acquisition of assets in Ezi-Duct Pty Ltd and the formation of Nordfab Pty Ltd in Australia, which provides a platform to grow operations in ducting systems in the Australian market.
• Constructing started on the expanded factory and warehouse building in Thomasville, US. The warehouse paves the way for the new Nordfab Now concept, with the aim of delivering to customers within 24 hours.
• The new fully automated ducting line in the factory in Denmark operated at full capacity and created a need to add an extra shift to other manufacturing at the plant.
• The division's easy-to-use interactive 3D tool, QFV, was launched in Europe.
• The division's proactive work continued in terms of monitoring and adapting prices to meet and manage volatile material costs that are rising over the long term.

The division delivered a stable performance in a challenging market situation. Compared with the corresponding quarter in 2021, currency-neutral orders received increased by 6 percent and sales by 1 percent. The adjusted EBITA margin amounted to 17.7 percent (23.5).

DEVELOPMENT DURING THE QUARTER

Interest in digital monitoring and control of production processes continues to grow in all markets and in an increasing number of industries. However, new covid-19-related restrictions and increasing geopolitical uncertainty have dampened customers' willingness to invest in the short term. The division's strong order backlog provides a solid base for higher sales in coming quarters.

In EMEA, orders received and sales were in line with the corresponding quarter in 2021. Business activity slowed in a few of the division's markets as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Gasmet reported a continued strong trend in Germany and the UK.

In APAC orders received and sales were also in line with the same quarter last year. Neo Monitors demonstrated a continued strong trend while Gasmet noted lower levels of orders received and sales. Continued comprehensive covid-19-related restrictions in China have made it difficult to travel and visit customers to secure new contracts in the country. These also led to disruptions in deliveries and component supplies.

In Americas, orders received and sales strengthened compared with the corresponding quarter in 2021 and reflected a growing level of activity among customers in the region. Customer-focused marketing activities in recent years are beginning to yield results for NEO Monitors, with orders received doubling during the quarter compared with the preceding year. Auburn Filter Sense and Gasmet also reported a continued positive trend.

• Challenges remain to obtain components and finished goods within a normal time frame. The division is working actively to ensure that customers' needs are met.
• The component shortages also led to increased costs of input goods and for personnel who are fully occupied dealing with supply issues.
• The integration of the UK company Energy Save System, which was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2021, is proceeding to plan.

Outlook

The recovery in demand continued during the second quarter. Our base business and a strong digital offering enable us to assert ourselves well in the current market and demand is growing for projects. In parallel, we see that the problems in our supply chain and the high prices of materials, energy and logistics are impacting customers' investment decisions and the possibility of conducting business, as well as our own production and ability to deliver. Moreover, there is a risk for increased geopolitical uncertainty. Overall, we remain cautiously optimistic about future quarters in view of, for example, our strong orders received in the past year.

Although various factors are combining to dampen the short-term outlook in our industry, Nederman's long-term potential continues to strengthen. In a world in which the insight into the damage that poor air does to people is increasing, Nederman, with its leading offering within industrial air filtration, has a key role to play and nearly unlimited possibilities for growth. What is needed and missing is even more political will throughout the world, to use regulations and incentives to work to reduce the risk that millions of people need to die prematurely each year from breathing in dirty and hazardous air.

ACQUISITIONS

On 28 April 2022, Nederman acquired the assets and operations of the Australian company Ezi-Duct Pty Ltd. Ezi-Duct manufactures and supplies ducting, fume extraction and industrial air filtration equipment. With this acquisition, Nederman improves its product range and market presence in Australia. Ezi-Duct, with its approximately 30 employees, will become part of the Nederman Duct & Filter Technology Division. Ezi-Duct's sales will not materially impact the income statement of the Nederman group for 2022.

The Board and CEO confirm that the interim report provides a true and fair overview of the parent company and the group's operations, position and earnings and describes the material risks and uncertainty factors faced by the parent company and the group.

Note 1: Accounting policies

This interim report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable provisions of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The report for the parent company has been prepared in accordance with Swedish Annual Accounts Act chapter 9 and RFR 2. The same accounting policies and valuation principles as described in the latest annual report, see also page 85 of the 2021 Annual Report, have been applied both to the group and the parent company. None of the new or revised standards, interpretations and improvements adopted by the EU have had any material impact on Nederman group.

IAS 29 FINANCIAL REPORTING IN HYPERINFLATIONARY ECONOMIES

The Nederman group has subsidiaries in Turkey where the functional currency is Turkish Lira, which as of June 2022 is classified as a hyperinflationary currency. This means that assets and liabilities, including goodwill and other consolidated surplus values and deficits, in Turkish Lira must be adjusted for inflation in order to reflect changes in purchasing power. Financial statements in Turkish Lira are based on cost.

Since the two sales companies in the Nederman group that have Turkish Lira as functional currency have no material balance sheet and income statement items from a group perspective, no inflationary adjustments were made as of June 2022. Inflation and its effect on the group is monitored and assessed continually. .

Note 2: Acquisition of business

On 28 April 2022, Nederman acquired the operations of the Australian company Ezi-Duct Pty Ltd. The acquisition price amounted to SEK 18.0m, of which SEK 4.8m constituted a conditional payment. At 30 June 2022, the maximum payment of SEK 4.8m was expected to be paid. Acquired net assets amounted to SEK 14.5m and the transaction generated goodwill of SEK 3.5m. The acquisition's impact on the group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 13.2m. The acquisition analysis is preliminary.

Note 3: Operating segment reporting

Segment reporting is based on reports submitted to the group´s senior executives. Nederman group is divided into four operating segments; Nederman Extraction & Filtration Technology, Nederman Process Technology, Nederman Duct & Filter Technology and Nederman Monitoring & Control Technology, which are described further on pages 4-7. The division is based on technology, customers and business logic with the aim of increasing both growth and profitability through simple structures and clear focus. Non-allocated items refer mainly to costs relating to the parent company, Nederman Holding AB, which includes the central head office functions.

Note 6: Transactions with related parties

No member of the Board of Directors or senior executives have or have had any direct or indirect participation in any business transaction with Group companies which is or was of an exceptional character with regard to terms and conditions that occurred during the year or in any previous year. Further, no group company has provided any loan, given any guarantees or entered into any surety relationships for any of the members of the Board of Directors or senior executives.

Note 7: Alternative performance measures,

In addition to information on our reported IFRS results, we provide certain information on an underlying business performance basis. We believe that our underlying business performance measures provide meaningful supplemental information to both management, investors and other stakeholders. These underlying business performance measures should not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes to the equivalent IFRS measures, but should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measures in the reported results. This is a consistent application compared to previous periods. See page 24 for definitions.

Note 8: Risks and uncertainties

Nederman is exposed to a number of risks that could significantly impact the group's operations, earnings and financial position. Nederman conducts continuous risk assessments that include identifying the risks that impact the group and taking measures to manage these risks. Nederman does not calculate the economic value of all risks because many of them are highly complex and interrelated. However, the practical management of these risks is facilitated in several different ways, including through group-wide policies, business processes, training, internal controls, and processes for the audit and approval of reports. Nederman group's risks are organised into four categories: Strategic risks, Operating risks, Compliance risks and Financial risks. For a more detailed description of these risks, refer to the Risk management section on pages 70-71 and in note 3 of the Nederman group's 2021 Annual and Sustainability Report.
