As of the first quarter 2022, the London-based operations Commodore and CIE have been transferred from the UK region to the Central Europe region. At the same time, the Central Europe region was renamed to "Portfolio Business Units". Commodore and CIE had combined net sales of SEK 395m and an operating loss of SEK -14m in 2021. Comparative numbers in this report have been restated to reflect the change.
Sales grew organically in all our regions in the period, predominantly driven by higher average order values. However, operating profit declined as continued inflationary pressure, challenges in the Nordic supply chain and investments in UK sales initiatives all rendered higher costs. With profitability below our targets, we preannounced our results and will carry out further measures to address fixed overheads across the Group.
In the Nordics the order book remained strong, primarily driven by solid demand in the project segment. Organic growth of 7% in the quarter was mainly driven by price increases. Volume was flat due to component availability issues and challenges in reducing order backlog, which resulted in declining and unsatisfactory gross margins. Current bottlenecks are being addressed by temporarily outsourcing component manufacturing and making investments in internal logistic solutions. We expect these measures will normalise productivity towards the end of the year. We are also ramping up the new factory in Jönköping faster than planned and will start component manufacturing already by the first quarter next year, which is more than a year ahead of plan, pending authority approvals.
In the UK, Magnet retail performed well with double digit growth, whilst kitchen sales in Magnet trade were flat and project sales declined. Retail growth, through the strengthened Magnet proposition, contributed to a favourable segment mix and a gross margin in line with last year despite the high direct material cost headwind. During the quarter we increased our investments in sales driving activities such as kitchen design capacity and store network improvements which are intended to improve our position ahead of the winter-sales season starting in December. At the same time we are addressing our

fixed overhead by executing on the cost-out programme launched in the second quarter. However, given current profitability we are not ruling out further cost saving measures in the region.
The performance in Portfolio Business Units was mixed. Total organic growth was 1%, with a strong contribution primarily from the Netherlands that grew by 13%. Austria delivered 4% growth whilst Commodore & CIE recorded substantially lower sales as the super-premium London segment continued to show very little sign of recovery.
Our major strategic initiatives, including the new factory in Jönköping and the transformation plan for the Magnet brand in the UK, are progressing according to plan. These initiatives will increase our competitiveness and resilience, which is especially important with the current macro-economic trends, for which we expect softening demand going forward.
Jon Sintorn, President and CEO
The overall market demand continued to be relatively favourable in the Nordic region. Demand in the project segment remained on a healthy level on the back of a high number of new build housing completions, while overall consumer demand declined somewhat. The UK retail market is estimated slightly down due to lower spending on home improvements, and the project market remains considerably below pre-pandemic levels, especially for premium high-rise in central London. The kitchen markets in The Netherlands and Austria were deemed flat compared with last year. All markets were impacted by the high price inflation, impacting both end-market sales prices and supply chain costs.
The Group's net sales increased to SEK 3,480m (3,215) with an organic growth of 4% (3). The Nordic region grew organically by 7% and Region UK and Portfolio Business Units grew by 1% each.
The gross margin decreased to 35.7% (39.5) and gross profit was SEK 1,242m (1,269). Operating profit amounted to SEK 78m (228), corresponding to a margin of 2.2% (7.1). Price increases had a positive impact, however, not enough to offset the negative impact from lower volume, higher material prices and supply chain cost in general. Material, energy and transport costs were approximately SEK 250m higher in the quarter. Selling and administrative expenses were higher, reflecting growth and market share ambitions. Changes in exchange rates positively impacted operating profit by SEK 25m.
Operating cash flow decreased to SEK -530m (123). Cash flow from operating activities decreased due to the lower result and unfavourable change in working capital. Investments in fixed assets increased due to the on-going construction of the new factory in Jönköping, Sweden. Net debt excl. IFRS16 leases increased to SEK 1,999m (153).

Net sales in the Nordic region increased to SEK 1,778m (1,607). Organic growth was 7% (8), with growth in all four countries.
The gross margin decreased to 31.6% (36.7). Operating profit decreased to SEK 97m (196) and the corresponding operating margin was 5.5% (12.2). Price increases compensated for inflation in material, transport and energy cost, but profit and margin were also negatively impacted mainly by supply chain disruptions and extraordinary costs for reduction of order backlog. Changes in exchange rates positively impacted operating profit by SEK 20m.
Following the organisational adjustments in the first quarter of 2022, the UK region includes Magnet brand sales to retail, trade and project customers, and the OEM sales to Wickes. Net sales in the UK region increased to SEK 1,240m (1,185). Organic growth was 1% (0) as a result of growth in Magnet Retail.
Gross margin decreased to 43.0% (44.0). Price increases and favourable sales mix more than offset the increased direct material costs, however, volume also had a negative impact due to lower number of manufactured cabinets. Operating profit decreased to SEK -11m (SEK 44m). Selling and administrative spend increased due to higher number of sales staff and marketing investments. The operating margin was -0.9% (3.7). The cost reduction program that was launched in the second quarter impacted by approx. SEK 15m.
Following the organisational adjustments in the first quarter 2022, Portfolio Business Units include Bribus (the Netherlands), Ewe (Austria), Superfront (Sweden) and Commodore and CIE (the UK). Net sales increased to SEK 462m (423) and organic growth was 1% (-7). Organic growth was positive in the Netherlands and Austria, while Commodore & CIE decreased due to continued weakness in the London super-premium property market. Superfront that was acquired in January 2022, contributed SEK 15m in net sales.
Gross margin decreased to 28.1% (30.0). Price impact was favourable while primarily direct material prices and the lower volume for Commodore and CIE were negative. Operating profit decreased to SEK 20m (32) and the operating margin declined to 4.3% (7.6).



Net sales for the first nine months increased to SEK 11,149m (10,210). Organic growth was 4% (12). Nordic region grew by 7%, Region UK by 4% while Portfolio Business Units dropped 5% organically.
Gross margin decreased to 36.8 (38.8) and the operating margin, excl. items affecting comparability, was 4.2% (7.6). Operating profit was SEK 472m (771), excl. items affecting comparability. Price increases offset the rising direct material costs, but not the general cost inflation beyond. Lower volume had a negative impact, as did higher selling and administrative expenses. Changes in exchange rates impacted operating profit positively by SEK 55m.
Operating cash flow declined to SEK -665m (672). Investments in fixed assets were more than SEK 800m higher due to strategic investments, including the ongoing construction of the new factory in Jönköping. Cash flow from operating activities was lower as a result of the decreased profit.

Nobia's long-term financing consists of two multicurrency revolving credit facilities totalling SEK 5 billion. A SEK 2 billion facility with a maturity in 2024 (with the option to request an extension of one year at the lenders' sole discretion) and a SEK 3 billion facility with maturity in 2025. The facilities have leverage (net debt / EBITDA) and interest cover (EBITDA to net interest expenses) covenants. At the end of September 2022, SEK 2,000m had been utilised. Group cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 387m (358).
Net debt excluding IFRS 16 lease liabilities and pensions amounted to SEK 1,594m (-150). Net debt including IFRS 16 lease liabilities of SEK 1,676m (1,887) and pension provisions of SEK 405m (303), was SEK 3,675m (2,040). The net debt/equity ratio, excluding IFRS 16 lease liabilities, was 42% (3) or 77% (44) including those liabilities. Pension provisions increased due to changes in financial assumptions. Leverage, (net debt/EBITDA, excluding IFRS 16 leases and items affecting comparability on 12 months rolling basis) was 2.01 times (0.11).

Net financial items amounted to SEK -108m (-67), of which net of returns on pension assets and interest expense on pension liabilities was SEK -10m (-3), interest on leases was SEK -26m (-29) and other net interest expense was SEK -72m (-35).
Samuel Dalén has been appointed new Executive Vice President Supply Chain and member of the Group Executive Committee (EC), reporting to CEO Jon Sintorn. Samuel has extensive supply chain experience in an international environment. He holds a M.Sc. in Mechanical engineering from Lund University and is currently holding the position as Chief Operating Officer (COO) at Kährs Group, a leading manufacturer and distributor of premium flooring. Samuel will take up his new position early in 2023.
The work of building the new factory is progressing according to plan. The factory building is being completed and the installation and testing of the first production machinery is ongoing, and the first commercial manufacturing is scheduled to begin in the first quarter 2023. The total investment until the factory is fully operational in 2024 is approximately SEK 3.5bn, of which manufacturing equipment is approximately SEK 2bn and the factory building SEK 1.5bn, with the majority of the investments in the period 2022 – 2023.
Operating income for the second quarter has been charged with a one-time cost of SEK -150m related to the cost reduction programme, which affected around 130 employees mainly in Region UK. The one-time cost is accounted for as items affecting comparability. Refer to page 16 for further details of the items affecting comparability. Savings related to these measures are expected to amount to around SEK 140m on an annualised basis.
On January 14, 2022, Nobia acquired 100% of the shares in Superfront, a Sweden-based direct-to-consumer business that designs and sells kitchen and storage such as frontals, handles and legs. Superfront has built significant brand awareness since it was introduced in 2013, mainly through digital and social media marketing, with a strong focus on design and sustainability. Net sales in 2021 amounted to approximately SEK 65m with a double-digit operating margin. Products are sold almost entirely online across Europe. Superfront is included in Portfolio Business Units. Further information is provided in Note 5 on page 14-15.
Financial risks refer primarily to currency exchange rates, interest rates, financing, tax and credit risks. In the ordinary course of business, the Group is exposed to legal risks such as commercial, product liability and other disputes and provides for them as appropriate. A general economic downturn, cybersecurity, a widespread financial crisis, pandemic-related restrictions or other macroeconomic disturbances may, directly or indirectly, affect the Group negatively both in terms of revenues and profitability. For a more detailed description of Nobia's risks and uncertainties, as well as risk management, refer to the 2021 Annual Report.
The current unprecedented uncertainty in the global markets may affect Nobia's market environment. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has raised energy prices globally and created supply chain disruptions, the impacts of which are yet to be fully seen. Higher production costs and concerns of availability of some raw materials have generated inflationary pressure in many markets. The risk of a recession has increased, and if materialised, it may negatively affect Nobia's operations and financial result.
To ensure availability and mitigate higher input cost, actions such as collaboration with suppliers and price increases has been carried out, last year as well as this year, although there will be a lag until the price increases have full effect, due to the maturity of the order book.
No significant event has occurred after the close of the quarter.
Stockholm, 2 November 2022 Jon Sintorn President and CEO Nobia AB, Corporate Registration Number 556528-2752
This interim report has been subject to review by the company's auditors. Refer to page 9.
Nobia AB (publ). Corporate Registration no. 556528-2752
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Nobia AB (publ) as of 30 September 2022 and the nine-month period then ended. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IFRS, with the application of IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. For the Parent Company, accounting policies are applied in accordance with Chapter 9, Interim Reports, of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Nobia has applied the same accounting policies in this interim report as were applied in the 2021 Annual Report. A description of new accounting policies in their entirety is provided in the 2021 Annual Report.
Segment information pages 4, 5 and 6. Loan and shareholder's equity transactions, page 7.
Items affecting comparability, page 7. Net sales by product group, page 19.
Nobia's financial assets essentially comprise non-interest-bearing and interest-bearing receivables whereby cash flows only represent payment for the initial investment and, where applicable, for the time value and interest. These are intended to be held to maturity and are recognised at amortised cost, which is a reasonable approximation of fair value. Financial liabilities are primarily recognised at amortised cost.
Financial instruments measured at fair value in the balance sheet are currency forward contracts comprised of assets at a value of SEK 58m (2) and liabilities at a value of SEK 0m (11). These items are measured according to level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, meaning based on indirect observable market data. Nobia's financial instruments are measured at fair value and included in the balance sheet on the rows " Other receivables" and "Current liabilities".
There is no sale and manufacturing of kitchens in the Parent Company. The Parent Company invoiced Groupwide services to subsidiaries in an amount of SEK 192m (90) during the third quarter of 2022 . The Parent Company's reported dividends from participations in Group companies totalled SEK 0m (0).
On January 14, 2022, Nobia acquired 100 percent of the share capital in Superfront, a Sweden-based company that designs and sells kitchens and storage such as doors, handles and legs directly to consumers. The acquisition has been reported through the application of the acquisition method. Superfront has built up a significant brand awareness since it was introduced in 2013, mainly through marketing in digital and social media, with a strong focus on design and sustainability. The products are sold almost exclusively online throughout Europe. Net sales in 2021 amounted to approximately SEK 65 million with an operating margin in excess of ten percent. Following the acquisition, Superfront has had sales of SEK 49 million and the operating margin was on the same level January-September 2022 compared with the full year 2021. Transaction costs for the acquisition amounted to SEK 2 million and are reported in the Group's operating profit. Additional purchase consideration consisting of two components, which are conditional on the development of the business for the financial years 2022, 2023 and 2024, can be paid in three annual instalments with the first payment in 2023. Nobia's assessment is that additional purchase consideration to an estimated fair value of SEK 13 million will be paid .The acquisition analysis below is preliminary as the acquisition values at fair value have not been definitively determined.

|---|---|---|
| Cash purchase price | - | 72 |
| Additional purchase price | - | 13 |
| Fair value of net assets acquired | - | -20 |
| Goodwill | - | 65 |
Goodwill is attributable to Superfront's underlying earnings, the expected growth of the company in the coming years, and to synergies that are expected to be achieved through coordination of, for example, purchasing and administration. Goodwill is not expected to be tax deductible. In fair value of acquired net asset years Intellectual property in the form of design to a net value of SEK 12m.

Nobia presents certain financial performance measures in the interim report that are not defined according to IFRS, known as alternative performance measures. Nobia believes that these measures provide valuable complementary information to investors and the company's management since they facilitate assessments of trends and the company's performance. Because not all companies calculate performance measures in the same way, these are not always comparable with those measures used by other companies. Consequently, the performance measures are not to be seen as replacements for measures defined according to IFRS. For definitions of the performance measures that Nobia uses, see pages 22-23.

| Performance measure | Calculation | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Return on shareholders' equity | Net profit for the period as a percentage of average shareholders' equity attributable to Parent Company shareholders based on opening and closing balances for the period. The calculation of average shareholders' equity has been adjusted for increases and decreases in capital. |
Return on shareholders' equity shows the total return on shareholders' capital in accounting terms and reflects the effects of both the operational profitability and financial gearing. The measure is primarily used to analyse shareholder profitability over time. |
| Return on operating capital | Operating profit as a percentage of average operating capital based on opening and closing balances for the period excl. net assets attributable to discontinued operations. The calculation of average operating capital has been adjusted for acquisitions and divestments. |
Return on operating capital shows how well the operations use net capital that is tied up in the company. It reflects how both cost and capital-efficient net sales are generated, meaning the combined effect of the operating margin and the turnover rate of operating capital. The measure is used in profitability comparisons between operations in the Group and to assess the Group's profitability over time. |
| Gross margin | Gross profit as a percentage of sales. | This measure reflects the efficiency of the part of the operations that is primarily linked to production and logistics. It is used to measure cost efficiency in this part of the operations. |
| EBITDA | Earnings before depreciation/amortisation and impairment. |
To simplify, the measure shows the earnings generating cash flow in the operations. It provides a view of the ability of the operations, in absolute terms, to generate resources for investment and payment to financers and is used for comparisons over time. |
| Items affecting comparability | Items that affect comparability in so far as they do not reoccur with the same regularity as other items. |
Reporting items affecting comparability separately clearly shows the performance of the underlying operations. |
| Net debt | Interest-bearing liabilities less interest-bearing assets. Interest bearing liabilities include provisions for pensions and leases. |
Net debt is a liquidity metric used to determine how well a company can pay all of its debts, pension liabilities and leasing obligations if they were due immediately. The measure is used as a component in the debt/equity ratio. |
| Operating capital | Capital employed excl. interest bearing assets. |
Operating capital shows the amount of capital required by the operations to conduct its core operations. It is mainly used to calculate the return on operating capital. |
| Operating cash flow | Cash flow from operating activities including cash flow from investing activities, excl. cash flow from acquisitions/divestments of operations, interest received, and increase/decrease in interest-bearing assets. |
This measure comprises the cash flow generated by the underlying operations. The measure is used to show the amount of funds at the company's disposal for paying financers of loans and equity or for use in growth through acquisitions. |
| Performance measure | Calculation | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Organic growth | Change in net sales, excl. acquisitions, divestments and changes in exchange rates. |
Organic growth facilitates a comparison of sales over time by comparing the same operations and excl. currency effects. |
| Region | Region corresponds to an operating segment under IFRS 8. |
|
| Earnings per share | Net profit for the period divided by a weighted average number of outstanding shares during the period. |
|
| Operating margin | Operating profit as a percentage of net sales. |
This measure reflects the operating profitability of the operations. It is used to monitor the flexibility and efficiency of the operations before taking into account capital tied up. The performance measure is used both internally in governance and monitoring of the operation, and for benchmarking with other companies in the industry. |
| Debt/equity ratio | Net debt as a percentage of shareholders' equity including non controlling interests. |
A measure of the ratio between the Group's two forms of financing. The measure shows the percentage of the loan capital in relation to capital invested by the owners, and is thus a measure of financial strength but also the gearing effect of lending. A higher debt/equity ratio means a higher financial risk and higher financial gearing. |
| Equity/assets | Shareholders' equity including non controlling interests as a percentage of balance-sheet total. |
This measure reflects the financial position and thus the long-term solvency. A healthy equity ratio/strong financial position provides preparedness for managing periods of economic downturn and financial preparedness for growth. It also provides a minor advantage in the form of financial gearing. |
| Capital employed | Balance-sheet total less non interest-bearing provisions and liabilities. |
The capital that shareholders and lenders have placed at the company's disposal. It shows the net capital invested in the operations, such as operating capital, with additions for financial assets. |
| Currency effects | "Translation effects" refers to the currency effects arising when foreign results and balance sheets are translated to SEK. "Transaction effects" refers to the currency effects arising when purchases or sales are made in currency other than the currency of the producing country (functional currency). |
