Group development, per quarter

Group development, per quarter

When looking back at the last quarter, we can determine that Nordisk Bergteknik has shown continued strong growth with solid profitability. Net sales increased by 66%, of which 20% was organic growth, and amounted to SEK 973 million during the fourth quarter. Cash flow strengthened significantly, which together with an increasingly large profit contribution from our acquisitions, contributed to lower indebtedness and thus a stronger financial position.
Growth during the quarter was driven by continued stable demand for our services in all segments. The Group's adjusted EBIT margin strengthened during the quarter and amounted to 8.1%. Due to our flexible organization, we have managed to handle the increased costs and our implemented price adjustments have gradually compensated for the increased costs. For a long period, we have continuously focused on creating a strategic presence in selected geographies with high activity, which is also something that contributes to our strong growth and solid profitability. W
During the quarter, our net debt in relation to EBITDA has decreased from 3.1 to 2.6 times, which is just above our long-term goal of 2.5. The decrease is primarily attributable to our strong cash flow, which is partly a result of ongoing projects within the Group to decrease our net working capital. Moreover, we have completed acquisitions that have delivered strong results that are well in line with our expectations.
Net sales increased by 77% for the full year of 2022, of which 25% was organic growth. The adjusted EBIT margin increased to 7.2% which means that we reached our financial goal of 7%, and we can also establish that all segments had double digit organic growth during 2022. During the year, the companies within the group have intensified their collaborations, which means that we can share expertise with each other and deliver a stronger customer offer together.
During the quarter we entered a letter of intent to acquire Power Mining, and plan to complete the acquisition during the first quarter of 2023. The acquisition is a significant milestone for Nordisk Bergteknik as this means that we have now taken the first step towards further expansion in Finland. The market in Finland is similar to the Swedish and is a natural next step in our geographical expansion, as well as in line with our growth strategy.
During the quarter we completed the acquisition for Berg & Betongförstärkning, an innovative company within foundation solutions that further strengthens our offering, in particular in Västra Götaland which is an expansive region.
Overall, 2022 was a successful year in terms of acquisitions. In total, we acquired six companies with annual net sales of close to SEK 900 million, excluding the letter of intent signed with Power Mining, which has contributed to the strengthening of the Group's margin. Our completed acquisitions possess specialist expertise and significant experience which further strengthens the Group's competence. Thanks to this, we create additional competitive advantages. Our ambition is to continuously evaluate potential acquisitions that can broaden our offer and contribute to our geographical expansion. Our financial capacity in combination with our current cash enables us to continue our growth journey, even though we expect somewhat lower activity in the near future as a result of the prevailing market.
Despite the challenges we encountered during the past year, we can now see clear results of our decision to stick with our overarching strategy, which involves developing our existing operations and making complementary acquisitions of profitable companies in attractive sub-markets. In a tougher global climate, we have shown that the Group is flexible and has a stable foundation with solid know-how and strong customer relations. We continue to see large investments within infrastructure and expect this to continue for an extensive period going forward, both in Sweden and Norway, not least in Norrland, which is positive for Nordisk Bergteknik as we have established a strong position there.
Overall, I am very satisfied with our delivery during the past year. We have continued our journey of growth and at the same time strengthened our margin as well as our cash flow despite the challenging circumstances around the world. Further, it is gratifying that the board intends to propose to pay a dividend at the Annual General Meeting for the first time.
With an even stronger market and financial position, as well as a stable market, I confidently look forward to continuing to create longterm shareholder value.

The Group's net sales for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 973.0 (587.0) million, an increase of 66 % in comparison to the previous year. Organic growth amounted to 20 (16) %. The strong organic growth is due to continued large infrastructure investments, which contributes to strong demand within all segments, which all grew organically during the period.
Adjusted EBIT for the Group increased by 74 % and amounted to SEK 78.6 (45.3) million for the quarter. The adjusted EBIT margin was 8.1 (7.7) %. By focusing on strengthening the geographical presence in selected sub-markets and broadening our service offering, we have strengthened the market position and created synergy gains, which has contributed to higher profitability. Our most recently completed acquisitions also contribute to a higher margin compared to the comparable period.
The Group's EBIT amounted to SEK 78.3 (39.8) million. The EBIT margin increased to 8.0 (6.8) % and includes items affecting comparability amounting to SEK 0.3 (5.5) million, which consist of external acquisition costs and profit effect from additional purchase price during the period.
Net financial items amounted to SEK -18.4 (-25.8) million. The Group's external debt has increased in comparison to the comparable period due to completed acquisitions, which entails higher interest costs. However, the comparison period was negatively affected by the fact that the group carried out early redemption of corporate bonds in connection with the stock market listing in October 2021, which affected the financial net negatively by SEK -17.4 million.
The tax cost for the quarter amounted to SEK -5.7 (-5.4) million. Profit for the quarter increased to SEK 54.1 (8.5) million and earnings per share increased to SEK 0.98 (0.16) before and after dilution.
The Group's net sales for the period increased by 77 % and amounted to SEK 3,401.8 (1,917.6) million. Organic growth for the period amounted to 25 (25) % and was driven by strong growth in all segments, all of which had double-digit organic growth during the period.
Adjusted EBIT increased by 82 % during the period and amounted to SEK 244.3 (134.1) million. The increase was mainly driven by contributions from completed acquisitions and the increased organic volume. Adjusted EBIT margin increased to 7.2 (7.0) %. The improved margin is, as for the quarter, a consequence of a strengthened market position, but also that new acquisitions contribute with a higher margin. The higher costs of fuel and other inputs have negatively affected the margin during the period, despite this the group has managed to strengthen the margin compared to the comparison period.
EBIT for the Group amounted to SEK 238.4 (118.4) million. EBIT margin amounted to 7.0 (6.2) % and includes items affecting comparability amounting to SEK 5.9 (15.7) million which consists of external acquisition costs and profit effect from additional purchase price during the period.
Net financial items for the period amounted to SEK -53.8 (-50.9) million. The Group's net financial item has been negatively affected during the period because of results from short-term investments which amounted to SEK -4.6 (2.4) million. The Group's external liabilities have grown compared to the comparable period as a result of completed acquisitions, which in turn has resulted in a lower net financial item.
The tax cost for the period amounted to SEK -35.5 (-22.7) million, an increase compared to the previous year as a result of higher profit. The effective tax rate amounted to 19 (34) %. The significantly lower effective tax rate is a result of the interest deduction limitation rules in Sweden having a significantly lower effect in 2022 compared to 2021. Profit for the period increased to SEK 149.1 (44.8) million, which corresponds to earnings per share of SEK 2.67 (1.28) before and after dilution.
Acquisitions are a central part of the Group's growth strategy and are identified based on selected criteria defined by Nordisk Bergteknik's developed acquisition strategy for continued growth.
The purchase price for the relevant acquisition usually consists of a cash part, a sellers reverse and a reinvestment in Nordisk Bergteknik AB in the form of shares, whereby the former owner becomes a long-term owner of Nordisk Bergteknik. This is in accordance with the company's acquisition strategy.
During the period January to December, Nordisk Bergteknik completed six acquisitions and signed a letter of intent regarding one acquisition which is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2023. The six completed acquisitions and the acquisition with a letter of intent have combined sales of around SEK 1,050 million on an annual basis. Further information on the completed acquisitions can be found in note 10.
Nordisk Bergteknik has completed the following acquisitions during the period January-December 2022:
On January 28, 2022, Nordisk Bergteknik completed the acquisition of Torbjörn Sundh.

Rovalin, which was founded in 2014, offers services in foundation solutions and has a leading market position as a supplier of a comprehensive offer in deep foundation solutions. The subsidiary Soil Mixing Group offers services in soil and soil reinforcement for real estate and infrastructure projects, which means that the Group's offering is broadened further.

The company has roughly 10 employees. The acquisition was completed on October 31, 2022. Berg & Betongförstärkning is reported in the Foundation Sweden segment.
If all completed acquisitions during January-December had been completed at the beginning of the financial year 2022, net sales for the Group for this year would have increased by approximately SEK 329 million and amounted to approximately SEK 3,731 million, with an adjusted EBIT of around SEK 267 million, as well as an adjusted EBIT margin of 7.2 %.
Nordisk Bergteknik has signed a letter of intent, but not completed, the following acquisition during the period:
On December 22, 2022, Nordisk Bergteknik signed a letter of intent regarding the acquisition of 100 % of the shares in Power Mining including the Swedish subsidiary Power Mining Sweden. Through the acquisition, Nordisk Bergteknik establishes itself in Finland, at the same time as the offer in Sweden is further supplemented and strengthened, not least in towards the mining industry. Power Mining operates in both Finland and Sweden and is a complete supplier in underground and tunnel work and currently has around 45 employees. The company's clients are mainly found in the infrastructure area and in the mining industry. Power Mining will be reported in the Rock Sweden segment. Power Mining is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2023.

Nordisk Bergteknik divides its operations into the segments: Rock Sweden, Rock Norway, and Foundation Sweden. The operating segments are based on the Group's operational management.


Services such as drilling, excavation, and prospect drilling are offered in the Rock Sweden segment. Nordisk Bergteknik's rock handling companies offer professional work in infrastructure, construction, wind power, mining, natural environments and more.
External net sales for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 421.5 (243.9) million, an increase of 73 %. The segment's organic growth during the period amounted to a very strong 32 %. This growth is mainly attributable to continued general demand, for instance projects in western Sweden connected to Västlänken has continued to employ several companies in the segment.
External net sales during the period January-December amounted to SEK 1,439.9 (888.8) million and increased by 62 %, of which 22 % consisted of organic growth. The segment's strong growth was mainly attributable to continued general demand. The segment has also had a high demand for services in exploration drilling and has carried out long-term investments in the area.
EBIT for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 31.0 (8.4) million. The EBIT margin amounted to 7.2 (3.3) % and has been positively affected by completed acquisitions that have a higher margin and several profitable projects during the period. The work to pass on the increased costs to the customer and renegotiate existing contracts has also contributed positively to the higher margin.
EBIT amounted to SEK 92.8 (46.6) million during the period January-December and the increase was mainly attributable to the increased volume and contribution from new acquisitions. The EBIT margin for the period amounted to 6.3 (5.0) % and was also positively affected by completed acquisitions and several profitable projects during the period.
External net sales and EBIT margin Per quarter

Services such as drilling, rock excavation, rock reinforcement, concrete spraying and maintenance of concrete structures, among other things, are offered in the Rock Norway segment. Nordisk Bergteknik's rock handling companies offer professional work in infrastructure, construction, wind power, mining, natural environments and more.
External net sales in the segment for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 262.7 (217.4) million, an increase of 21 %. The organic growth amounted to 9 %.
External net sales during the period January-December increased from SEK 640,8 million to SEK 958.0 million, an increase of 50 %, of which 35 % consisted of organic growth. The strong organic growth is above all a result of continued good demand for the segment's services in many geographies.
EBIT for the fourth quarter decreased from SEK 18.4 million to SEK 14.8 million. The EBIT margin amounted to 5.5 (8.3) %. The weaker EBIT margin during the quarter is mainly explained by a project mix with lower profitability compared to the comparison period. Furthermore, the increased costs of fuel and other input materials have partly continued to negatively affect the segment's margin.
EBIT increased from SEK 31.2 million to SEK 47.1 million during the period January-December. The EBIT margin amounted to 4.8% and was on a par with the previous year (4.7) %.
External net sales and EBIT margin Per quarter

The Foundation Sweden segment offers services within piling, sheet piling, ground reinforcement, grouting, soil injection, soil reinforcement and groundwater lowering. Our cutting-edge expertise in foundation solutions means that we work throughout all of Sweden.
The external net sales during the fourth quarter increased by 130 % and amounted to SEK 288.7 (125.6) million. This increase is mainly attributable to the acquisitions of Rovalin and Soil Mixing Group, in combination with strong organic growth within the segment, amounting to 17 %. The strong organic growth is primarily explained by continued strong demand and several larger projects during the quarter compared to the comparable period.
The external net sales during the period January-December increased by 159 % and amounted to SEK 1,003.9 (387.9) million, which was attributable to completed acquisitions and an organic growth of 18 %, which was mainly due to the operation of larger projects during the quarter compared to the comparable period.
EBIT for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 34.2 (25.1) million, which was a result of the increased volume and new acquisitions. The EBIT margin decreased from a very strong 19.7 % to 11.3 %.
The segment now consists of significantly more companies compared to the comparable period, which results in smaller variations in the EBIT margin between quarters. Since the comparable period, the segment has grown through acquisitions, which leads to a more normal level of the EBIT margin during the period.
EBIT amounted to SEK 112.7 (68.1) million during the period January-December and the increase was a result of increased volume and contributions from new acquisitions. The EBIT margin decreased from a very strong 17.4 % to 11.0 %. As for the quarter, the period is affected by the fact that the segment has grown through acquisitions, which now results in smaller variations between the quarters.

At the end of the period, the Group's assets amounted to SEK 3,378.8 (2,237.7) million. This increase was mainly attributable to acquisitions that have been made compared to the same period last year. The Group's equity has strengthened because of the new share issues and amounted to SEK 1,216.7 (947.3) million excluding non-controlling interests.
The Group's net debt in relation to EBITDA amounted to SEK 1,274.4 (425.8) million and consisted of loans to credit institutions, machine loans, acquisition loans, lease liabilities for right-of-use assets, cash and short-term investments. The Group's debt ratio was 2.6x (1.5). During the period, the Group has carried out several major strategic acquisitions, which has resulted in a higher debt ratio than the Group's long-term financial goal of 2.5x. Through the group's strong cash flow and the positive contribution of the new acquisitions, the debt ratio has decreased significantly from last quarter when it amounted to 3.1x.
The Group's financing agreement contains two covenants; the Group's debt ratio, calculated as the ratio between net debt and adjusted EBITDA rolling 12 months pro forma, and equity to asset ratio, calculated as the ratio between total equity and total assets.
The cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 195.5 (46.2) million during the fourth quarter and the adjusted cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 196.5 (64.9) million (adjusted for items affecting comparability). The increase compared to the previous year is primarily a result of the higher operating profit. The cash flow from investment activities amounted to SEK -92.9 (-76.2) million and mainly consisted of investments in tangible fixed assets and business acquisitions. The cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -8.4 (425.3) million. The group was listed during the comparison period and in connection with that made a new share issue, which contributed to the large inflow during the comparison period.
The cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 267.6 (122.7) million and the adjusted cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 274.2 (160.2) million during the period January-December 2022. The increase is primarily a result of the higher operating profit. Cash flow from investment activities amounted to SEK -405.4 (-263.2) million. Of this, SEK -232.0 (-121.1) million was attributable to net investments in tangible and intangible fixed assets and SEK -168.5 (-138.0) million was attributable to business acquisitions. The cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -53.4 (514.6) million. The decrease is primarily attributable to the fact that new share issues were carried out during the comparable period, which gave a positive effect of SEK 610.0 million, particularly in connection with the listing.
As of December 31, the Group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 262.8 (451.1) million. The Group has an unused overdraft facility of SEK 200 million and an unused revolving credit facility of another SEK 208 million.

After the end of the reporting period, Nordisk Bergteknik has signed a share purchase agreement regarding the acquisition of Power Mining. See more information under the heading "Acquisitions" on page 6.
The number of shares and votes in Nordisk Bergteknik AB has increased as a result of the new share issues carried out in 2022. Please find section "New share issues" showing a table of the increase in equity via new issues and the change in the number of shares during 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the number of shares and votes amounted to 57,237,867 with a share capital of SEK 572,379 corresponding to a quotient value of SEK 0.01.
Nordisk Bergteknik AB's operations are covered by head office functions such as group-wide management and finance functions. Net sales consist of management fees that are invoiced to the subsidiaries. Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 8.3 (5.5) million and profit before appropriations and tax amounted to SEK -1.3 (-25.8) million. The improved result is primarily due to the fact that during the comparable period, the parent company had high external costs related to the listing of the company's shares, which was carried out in October 2021. The parent company's net financial items amounted to SEK -0.3 million, which was significantly better than the comparable period (-18,1). During the comparison period, the parent company had high costs for early redemption of bonds. Furthermore, the financial net has improved because of a significantly lower interest rate during the period as a result of the refinancing that took place in connection with the listing of the listing of the company's shares in October 2021 and higher interest income from group companies during the period.
Net sales for the period January-December amounted to SEK 29.3 (20.1) million and profit before end-of-year appropriations and tax amounted to SEK -23.9 (-62.9) million.
The parent company's total assets amounted to SEK 2,031.9 (1,400,6) million. The increase was mainly attributable to completed acquisitions during 2022. As of December 31, equity amounted to SEK 1,020.7 (866.6) million.
There are certain seasonal effects that affect the Group's operations within the Rock Norway segment and refers to the rock reinforcement business in Norway, whose sales and earnings are lower in the fourth quarter and first quarter due to the weather conditions during winter. Other segments have no clear seasonal effects, but sales and earnings are rather largely dependent on project mix. In order to counter revenue reduction as a result of seasonal effects, Nordisk Bergteknik works to ensure that there are projects that run over the winter months and reallocates resources within the Group. Due to its size, the Group has a greater opportunity to counter seasonal effects. Many smaller companies on the market have greater seasonal variations than Nordisk Bergteknik.
Nordisk Bergteknik's operations are affected by several risks whose effects on earnings and financial position can be controlled to varying degrees. The construction industry is largely affected by macroeconomic factors, for example general, global or national economic trends, raw material prices, growth, employment development, amount of infrastructure projects, regional economic development, population growth, inflation and changing interest rates. There is a risk that one or more of these factors can develop negatively for the company.
More detailed information about the Group's risks can be found in the annual and sustainability report for 2021.
The war in Ukraine has increased risk regarding the global economy. In addition to the humanitarian disaster and suffering the war brings upon those affected, the financial markets also face a higher risk of uncertainty and instability. Nordisk Bergteknik has no operations or direct trade with Russia, Ukraine or Belarus, but has been indirectly affected by the situation through increased costs for fuel and other inputs, as well as longer delivery times. Nordisk Bergteknik follows developments closely in order to be able to continuously assess any impact on the Group.

The preparation of an interim report requires management to make assessments and estimates as well as assumptions that affect the application of the accounting principles and reported amounts for assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

Interest-bearing assets and liabilities' respective fair values may differ from their carrying amounts, partly as a result of changes in market interest rates. The fair values of these assets have been determined by discounting future payment flows at the current interest rate for equivalent instruments. For financial instruments such as accounts receivable, accounts payable and other non-interest-bearing financial assets and liabilities, which are reported at accrued acquisition value subtracting any write-downs, the fair value is deemed to correspond to the carrying amount. The following table shows the Group's financial instruments by category and valuation level. There have been no transfers between the valuation levels during the year. Short-term investments that are valued at fair value in the income statement are based on available market value on the balance sheet date.

All acquired companies are reported in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the acquisition method, meaning that the purchase price paid is allocated to acquired assets and liabilities based on their respective fair value. The purchase price for the acquisition of a subsidiary consists of the fair value of transferred assets, liabilities that the Group incurs to previous owners of the acquired company and the shares issued by the Group. For each acquisition, i.e. acquisition by acquisition, the Group decides whether non-controlling interests in the acquired company are reported at fair value or at the non-controlling interests's proportionate share in the carrying amount of the acquired company's identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed when they arise and are reported in the Group's consolidated income statement.

The Group's intangible fixed assets with an indefinite useful life consist of goodwill. The value of the Group's goodwill, which is based on local currency and may give rise to currency translation effects in the consolidated accounts, has been distributed between the cash-generating units to which they are considered to belong, which also constitute the Group's segments as shown in the tables below. The value of these intangible assets is impaired annually but can be tested more often if there are indications that the value has decreased. In order to assess whether there are indications of impairment, the recoverable amount needs to be determined, which is done by calculating the value in use of each cash-generating unit. The value in use is based on established cash flow forecasts for the next five years and a long-term growth rate, so-called terminal growth. The most significant assumptions in determining the value in use include growth rate, EBIT margin and discount rate (WACC). When calculating the discount rate, an assessment is made of financial factors such as interest rates, borrowing costs, market risk, beta values and tax rates. The estimated cost of capital (WACC) has been calculated for each cash-generating unit. The cash flow forecasts that form the basis for the impairment test are based on five-year forecasts approved by the Board (2023-2027) and thereafter a terminal growth based on the development of own operations. When calculating the present value of expected future cash flows, an average weighted cost of capital (WACC) before tax is used. Based on the tests and analyses that have been carried out, there is currently no need for impairment in any of the three segments. In the comparison year, there was no need for impairment. Sensitivity analyses have been performed for all cash-generating units. See further information below.

Guidelines regarding alternative performance measures for companies with securities listed on a regulated market within the EU have been issued by ESMA (The European Securities and Markets Authority). The interim report refers to a number of undefined measures in accordance with IFRS that are used to help both investors and management to analyse the company's operations. Because not all companies calculate financial measures in the same way, these are not always comparable with measures used by other companies. These financial measures should therefore not be regarded as compensation for measures defined in accordance with IFRS. Below we describe the various measures not defined in accordance with IFRS that have been used as a complement to the financial information reported in accordance with IFRS and how these measures are used. For reconciliation of alternative key ratios, see the website https://nordiskbergteknik.se/sv/rapporter-och-presentationer/
| Key ratios | Definition | Justification for use of measures |
|---|---|---|
| Organic growth, % | Change in net sales compared with the same period last year, adjusted for currency translation effects and acquisitions. Acquisitions are adjusted for by excluding net sales for acquisitions during the period and including net sales for the entire period for the acquisitions that have been made in the previous year and that have not been consolidated during the entire period last year. Currency effects are calculated using the exchange rates of the previous period for the current period. |
Organic growth facilitates a comparison of net sales over time, excluding the impact of currency translation effects and acquisitions |
| EBITDA | Operating profit (EBIT) excluding depreciation and amortisation |
The measure is used to measure operating profitability excluding depreciation and amortisation |
| EBITDA margin, % | EBITDA divided by net sales for the period. | This measure is used to measure operating profitability in relation to net sales, excluding depreciation and amortisation |
| Adjusted EBITDA | EBITDA adjusted for items affecting comparability | Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of operating profit before depreciation and amortisation and is used to evaluate operating activities. The purpose is to show EBITDA excluding items that affect comparability with other periods |
| Adjusted EBITDA margin, % |
Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales for the period. | This measure is used to measure operating profitability in relation to net sales, excluding depreciation and amortisation and items that affect comparability with other periods |
| Operating profit (EBIT) | Profit or loss for the period excluding tax, financial costs and financial income |
This measure is used to measure operating profitability, including depreciation and amortization, and excluding tax, financial expenses and financial income |
| EBIT margin, % | Operating profit (EBIT) divided by the period's net sales | The measure is used to measure operating profitability in relation to net sales |
| Key ratios | Definition | Justification for use of measures |
|---|---|---|
| Adjusted EBIT | Operating profit for the period (EBIT) adjusted for items affecting comparability. |
Adjusted EBIT is a measure of operating profit including depreciation and amortisation and is used to evaluate operating activities. The purpose is to show operating profit (EBIT) excluding items that affect comparability with other periods |
| Adjusted EBIT margin, % | Adjusted EBIT divided by net sales for the period | This measure is used to measure operating profitability in relation to net sales, excluding items that affect comparability with other periods |
| Items affecting comparability |
Items affecting comparability are items that are reported separately due to their nature and amount |
Items affecting comparability are used by management to explain variations in historical profitability Separate reporting and specification of items affecting comparability enables the users of the financial information to understand and evaluate the adjustments made by management when adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBIT margin, %, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, % are presented |
| Adjusted cash flow from operating activities |
Cash flow from operating activities adjusted for cash flow impacting items affecting comparability. |
This measure is used to measure operating profitability cash flow from operating activities excluding items that affect comparability with other periods |
| Equity/asset ratio, % | Adjusted equity divided by total assets. Adjusted equity is calculated as total equity attributable to the parent company's shareholders plus loans from owners. Loans to owners that have arisen in connection with the acquisition of a company (where the previous owner of the acquired company becomes an owner of Nordisk Bergteknik), so-called seller´s promissory note, are not included in adjusted equity |
The measure shows the proportion of total assets financed by shareholders with equity. The measure has been included so that investors can create an image of the Group's capital structure |
| Net debt | Short-term and long-term interest-bearing liabilities reduced by cash and cash equivalents', short-term investments and other long-term liabilities to the extent pertaining to owner loans. Loans to owners that have arisen in connection with the acquisition of a company (where the previous owner of the acquired company becomes an owner of Nordisk Bergteknik), so-called seller´s promissory note, are included in net debt. Short term and long-term interest-bearing liabilities refer to liabilities to credit institutions, lease liabilities, overdraft facilities and other long-term liabilities (the part relating to seller´s promissory note, see previous comment) |
The measure shows the Group's net financial liabilities and is used to show the total indebtedness in the Group |
| Net debt/adjusted EBITDA LTM |
Net debt at the end of the period divided by adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months |
The measure shows the Group's capital structure |
