Message from the CEO

Strong start to 2022, disturbances later in the year cannot be ruled out

Consolidated net sales in the first quarter increased by 30 percent compared to the previous year, from SEK 704 million to SEK 912 million. Organic growth was 19 percent of which 13 percent were sales price increases, the impact from acquisitions was 6 percent and currency translation effects were 4 percent. Organic growth was 30 percent in Products & Solutions and -6 percent in Installation Services.

EBIT for the first quarter amounted to SEK 56 million, compared to SEK 22 million for the corresponding period last year. The positive development of the operating result is explained by Products & Solutions increasing profitability due to a good volume development and a pro-active approach to price management while Installation Services maintained profit on same level as first quarter last year.

Our Return on Capital Employed at 17.9 percent (16.6) remains significantly above the threshold of 13 percent. The improvement is driven by the improved operating result. Operational cash flow has been negatively affected by increased accounts receivable because of increased sales and increased inventory due to securing raw material availability, higher input costs and higher finished product levels to secure our delivery capabilities.

The direct impact on our Group from the Russian war on Ukraine has been limited. We have neither any subsidiaries nor any employees in these countries and sales in 2021 were insignificant. It is likely that there is an indirect impact through additional input cost inflation. The availability of input material has not yet been affected. It cannot be ruled out that we will see a negative impact from additional input cost inflation, as well as potential shortage of input materials creating direct or indirect disturbances of our supply chain.

The net sales organic growth of 19 percent (2) in the first quarter are explained by good sales in the Products & Solutions operating segment, which organically grew 30 percent (8) of which 13 percent were related to sales price increases, while the Installation Services operating segment decreased organically by -6 percent (-23) whereof 11 percent were related to sales price increases.

Sales development of our green infrastructure businesses, sold under the brands Veg Tech and Urban Green, showed strong positive organic development compared with the same period previous year however the first quarter is seasonally weak.

Martin Ellis, President and CEO

We continue to focus on organic growth, profitability, sustainability, and selective acquisitions. Our balance sheet is strong, and we continue to have the capacity to carry out acquisitions.

Helsingborg, 26 April 2022

The Group

Net sales

Consolidated net sales for the first quarter increased by 30 percent to SEK 912 m (704). Organic growth was 19 percent, of which 13 percent were sales price increases, impact from acquisitions was 6 percent and currency translation effects were 4 percent.

Q1 2022 Q1 2022
Analysis of net sales (%) SEK m)
Previous period 704
Organic growth 19% 137
Structural effects 6% 42
Currency effects 4% 29
Current period 30% 912

Sales in Denmark increased by 38 percent in the first quarter compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year whereof organic growth was 33 percent and currency changes had a positive impact with 5 percent. In Sweden sales increased by 42 percent. Sales in Norway increased by 1 percent whereof organic development was -6 percent and currency changes had a positive impact with 7 percent. In Finland sales increased by 31 percent in the quarter whereof impact from acquisitions was 21 percent, organic development was 7 percent and currency translation effects were positively affecting by 4 percent. Sales to other countries in Europe increased by 37 percent in the quarter.

Operating profit (EBIT), EBITDA and ROCE

Operating profit (EBIT) for the first quarter increased to SEK 56 m (22) and the EBIT margin increased to 6.1 percent (3.1).

EBITDA for the first quarter increased to SEK 91 m (50) and the EBITDA margin increased to 10.0 percent (7.1).

Return on capital employed (ROCE) on a rolling 12 months basis was 17.9 percent (16.6) after the first quarter, exceeding our long-term financial target of 13.0 percent. The increase is mainly explained by the improved profitability.

Net financial items

Net financial items for the first quarter of 2022 amounted to SEK –4 m (-8). The difference is mainly explained by updates on earn-outs and valuations for the written put options to buy outstanding shares in not wholly owned subsidiaries.

Profit or loss before and after tax

The profit before tax for the first quarter amounted to SEK 52 m (14) and profit after tax amounted to SEK 39 m (11). The effective tax rate was 25.5 percent in the quarter.

Impact from Russian war on Ukraine

The direct impact on our Group from the Russian war on Ukraine has been limited. We have neither any subsidiaries nor any employees in these countries and sales in 2021 were insignificant. It is likely that there is an indirect impact through additional input cost inflation. The availability of input material has not yet been affected. It cannot be ruled out that we will see a negative impact from additional input cost inflation, as well as potential shortage of input materials creating direct or indirect disturbances of our supply chain.

The impact on the Group from turbulence in the financial markets and volatility in exchange rates has had only a limited impact. We have identified an increased risk of cyberattacks and have further strengthened our protection and preparedness against this type of attack against the Group.

The Group has noted that sanctions have been imposed on imports of certain goods from both Russia and Belarus, as well as on trade with certain identified persons and has taken steps to ensure that we comply with these sanctions.

Risks and uncertainties

Nordic Waterproofing's business is subject to various risks, which can be divided into operating, financial and external risks. Operating risks include liability under warranties and product liability, key employees, disruptions in production, IT systems, intellectual property rights, product development, restructuring, acquisitions and integration, insurance, and corporate governance. Financial risks primarily include changes in exchange rates and interest rates, and risks relating to losses in respect of accounts receivable, liquidity risk, the capacity to raise capital, financial credit risk and risks relating to goodwill. External risks include risks relating to market trends, competition, prices of raw materials, political decisions, legal disputes, tax risks, environmental risks, and weather conditions. Apart from these risks, the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic are a risk and an uncertainty for the development of our business. Currently the consequences are mainly an increased cost inflation on input materials and an increased shortage of material at work sites.

The management of risk at Nordic Waterproofing is based on a structured process for continually identifying and assessing risks, their likelihood, and their potential impact on the Group. The focus is on identifying controllable risks and managing the risks to reduce the overall risk level for the business.

On the 29 April 2020 the Danish Competition and Consumer Authority (Konkurrence- og Forbrugerstyrelsen) decided to finally close the investigation of the roofing felt market. By the decision the Council finally closed the whole matter without taking any further steps in the matter. Related to this, three local competitors have raised claims for financial losses incurred to them. The first case was up in court in December 2021 and verdict was delivered on 16 February 2022 in favour of Nordic Waterproofing. Verdict in the remaining two cases is expected during May 2022. It is the opinion Nordic Waterproofing that there are no grounds for these claims and no provisions have been made.

The risks are further described in the Group's 2021 Annual Report.

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities during the first quarter was SEK -15 m (-88). The main explanation to the improved cash flow is the improved operating result and a lower reduction in accounts payable compared to previous year.

Cash flow from investing activities during the first quarter was SEK -50 m (-110).

Cash flow from financing activities during the first quarter was SEK -14 m (-12). During the quarter has the full EUR 75 m term loan facility been utilized.

Investments and depreciations

Gross investments excluding acquisitions during the first quarter of 2022 amounted to SEK 20 m (20), while depreciation amounted to SEK -18 m (-12). Right-of-use depreciations relating to IFRS 16 amounts to SEK -10 m (-11). Amortizations of intangible assets amounted to SEK -7 m (-5), primarily consisting of amortizations of customer relations in the acquired companies.

Financial position and liquidity

Nordic Waterproofing's principal external financing agreement has final maturity date in June 2024. An option to extend the existing agreement with one year was utilised during the second quarter of 2021. The agreement has an option to further extend the existing agreement with +1 year. It contains a EUR 75.0 m (75.0) term loan facility and a EUR 40.0 m (40.0) revolving loan facility, of which EUR 14.4 m is allocated to the Group cash pool overdraft facility. The loan and credit facilities bear variable interest and run without requiring repayment in instalments. The financing agreement contains financial covenants that are monitored and followed up on a quarterly basis. At the end of the first quarter Nordic Waterproofing is compliant with the covenants as per the facility agreement.

The consolidated interest-bearing net debt amounted to SEK 762 m at the end of the period, compared with SEK 677 m at the end of 2021 and SEK 463 m at the end of corresponding period in the preceding year. The increase in net debt of SEK 85 m compared to the end of 2021 is mainly explained by a seasonally weaker cash flow from operating activities and that an acquisition was performed.

Consolidated cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 148 m (400) at the end of the period. SEK 0 m (0) of the Group's total overdraft facility of SEK 149 m (147) was utilized at the end of the quarter.

Indebtedness calculated as net interest-bearing debt/EBITDA during the most recent twelve-month period was 1.4x (1.1x) at the end of the period, and the net debt/equity ratio was 0.5x (0.3x).

Pledged assets and contingent liabilities

There were no significant changes during the period.

Employees

The average number of employees during the first quarter of 2022 (expressed as full-time equivalents) was 1,254 compared with 1,083 during the same period in the preceding year. The increase is driven by performed acquisitions.

The average number of employees in the parent company has been 1 (1).

Significant events during the period

• The 2 February it was announced that Nordic Waterproofing had acquired 100 percent of Gordon Low Ltd in UK, a specialist fabricator and distributor of lining solutions and water proofing membranes.

Significant events after the reporting period

• In 2017 the Group acquired 67 percent of the shares in SealEco B.V. On the 8 of April we utilized the option we have had since and acquired the remaining 33 percent of the shares in the company.

Financial targets

Nordic Waterproofing's target for the return on capital employed (ROCE) is at least 13 percent. The outcome after the first quarter of 2022 on a rolling 12-month basis was 17.9 percent.

The interest-bearing net debt/EBITDA-ratio shall not exceed 3.0 times. The outcome after the first quarter of 2022 (R12) was 1.4 times.

The sales growth target to exceed the growth in the Group's current markets through organic growth, in addition to expected growth through selective acquisitions. It is the opinion of the Group that we have outperformed the market growth on our most relevant markets.

Sustainability within Nordic Waterproofing

We have a strategic goal to reduce the Group's CO2 emission for scope 1, 2 and 3 and to follow the development an evaluation of 2021 was effectuated in the first quarter of 2022. As this is for the first time, we do now have a bigger job to evaluate, revise and validate the figures to ensure that everything has been placed and calculated correctly before we can set goals for scope 3.

Another goal is to enable our customers to decarbonize their projects, and to do so, we work to know our products CO2-footprint. We strive to have Environmental Product Declarations (EPD's or LCA assessments) for 85 percent of our main product portfolio.

For the bitumen-based waterproofing products, Denmark has revised their EPD to include biogas and more recycling options which is valid for 85 percent of their product portfolio and will extend that for more products in Q2. Sweden has today EPD's for 75 percent of their product portfolio and Finland has prepared the first LCAcalculations. SealEco will finish their first EPD's next quarter and the Taasinge Group has applied for EPD's for their wooden prefabricated elements to be finished next year.

The parent Company

The parent Company, Nordic Waterproofing Holding AB, is a holding company that does not conduct any business. The parent company's earnings primarily reflect the net revenues for joint Group services and deductions for salaries, other remuneration and compensation, and similar expenses.

Incentive programs

The Company has established three incentive programs ("LTIP 2019", "LTIP 2020" and "LTIP 2021"). The total cost, including social security charges, is estimated to be slightly above SEK 10 m for each program, during the period of the program, under the assumption of an average annual growth of operating profit (EBIT) before items affecting comparability of 10 percent. No new shares will be issued in the Company due to the programs. However, the Company will acquire treasury shares in order to secure the provision of shares and to secure and cover social security charges. The costs for the programs are expected to have a marginal effect on Nordic Waterproofing Group's key ratios. The maximum number of shares that can be granted under the LTIP 2019, LTIP 2020 and LTIP 2021 are 99,455, 95,088 and 73,919 respectively, considering persons having left the Company.

Notes

Note 1 – Accounting principles

The interim report is presented in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", which has been approved by the EU. Furthermore, The Group applies the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (ÅRL) and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting Rules for Corporate Groups.

The Group applies IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards), which have been adopted by the EU. In addition to the financial statements and their connected notes, disclosures in accordance with IAS 34.16A are also presented in other parts of the interim report. The Parent Company applies recommendation RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board and Chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, Interim Reports. The accounting policies applied by the Group and the parent company correspond to the accounting policies applied in the preparation of the most recent annual report.

The financial statements are presented in SEK, rounded off to the nearest hundred thousand, unless otherwise stated. This rounding off process may mean that the total sum of the sub-items in one or more rows or columns does not match the total sum for the row or column.

Note 2 – Seasonality

Nordic Waterproofing's business is significantly affected by seasonal variations in the construction industry, where almost 60 percent of annual sales generally occur during the second and third quarters. The weakest period is the first quarter of the year, which, due to the winter, has accounted for less than 20 per cent of annual sales for the past three financial years. There is generally a planned inventory build-up, primarily of finished products, during the first six months of the year, which translates into a stock reduction during the third and fourth quarters as a result of increased activity in the market during the autumn. Urban Green and Veg Tech is the most weather dependent and also the most seasonal businesses, as deliveries and installation rarely take place during the winter months.

Note 3 – Effects of changes in accounting estimates and judgements

Significant estimates and judgements are described in Note 3 and Note 32 in the Annual Report for 2021. In the Group's financial reports, an amended assessment has been made of the most probable outcome regarding earn-outs call/put options, as shown in Note 5 Financial instruments in this interim report. Otherwise, no essential changes have been made to these estimates or judgements which could have a material impact on the interim report.

Note 4 – Intangible assets

The Group's intangible assets have primarily arisen in connection with business acquisitions. Other intangible assets primarily include capitalized expenses for software and R&D-projects.

Note 5 – Financial instruments

Financial instruments measured at fair value in the balance sheet consist of call/put options, contingent considerations from acquisitions and financial derivatives used to hedge the price risk arising from highly probable future purchases of bitumen products. Call/put options and contingent considerations are recognized in the balance sheet items "Other non-current liabilities" and "Other current liabilities". The fair value of the call/put options and contingent considerations is based on probability weighted payments discounted at its present value, see further description in the Group's 2021 Annual Report. The fair value measurements belong to level 3 in the fair value hierarchy in IFRS 13. Financial derivatives are recognized in the balance sheet items "Other receivables" and "Other liabilities", and hedge accounting is applied. The fair value of these commodity derivatives has been established through a discount of the difference between the agreed price and future prices at the reporting date for the remaining contract period. As of 31 March 2022, no hedges were in place. At the corresponding period the preceding year, the expected purchases of bitumen for delivery during April 2021 to June 2021 were hedged by means of derivatives, equivalent to 11,000 tons or approximately 24 percent of the expected annual purchasing volume for 2021. The fair value measurements belong to level 2 in the fair value hierarchy in IFRS 13.

¹ To enable reconciliation against items in the balance sheet, items that do not constitute financial instruments that are valued at fair value as well as other assets and liabilities have been included in Other.

2 At the time of publication of the report, the information was not fully available to categorize financial instruments correctly.

Financial instruments measured at level 3 per 31 March:

MSEK 2022 2021
Opening balance 91 34
Fair value movement in income statement 1 3
Acquisition 0 14
Paid 0 0
Exchange-rate differences 0 -1
Closing balance 92 50

Fair value movement through income statement refers to the remeasurement of the put/call options and contingent considerations. The remeasurement primarily refers to the fair value remeasurement of the put/call option debt from the acquisition of SealEco B.V. (at the time of the acquisition named EPDM Systems B.V.). The increase is attributable to a change in the assessment of forecasted EBITDA growth. For a description of valuation techniques and input data when valuing financial instruments at fair value, see note 32 in the Annual Report 2021.

Note 6 – Operating segments

Nordic Waterproofing's business and the basis for division into segments are the various products or services delivered by each segment. The Group's operating segments consist of Products & Solutions and Installation Services. Products & Solutions relates to sales of both internally produced and externally purchased products and related services, and Installation Services comprises the Group's wholly owned and partly-owned contracting operations within roofing. Group Items and Eliminations comprises parent company functions, including the treasury function, as well as the elimination of intra-group sales from Products & Solutions to Installation Services.

Information regarding net sales from external customers, EBITDA and operating profit (EBIT) broken down by segment is set out in the tables on pages 9 - 10.

Inter-segment transfer pricing is determined on an arm's length basis, i.e. between parties that are independent of one another, are well informed and have an interest in the implementation of the transaction. Assets and investments are reported based on where the assets are located.
