Two milestones achieved

The fourth quarter concludes a record year for OEM with an 8% increase in net sales. Its organic growth was not as strong as in previous quarters, however, and reached just 3%. At the same time, incoming orders rose 11%, indicating that demand remains strong.

Operating profit (EBITA) fell by 9% compared with the fourth quarter of 2017 and the EBITA margin stood at 8.9%. One major reason for the drop in earnings is the decision taken in the fourth quarter to close our lighting company in Poland. This gave an expense of SEK 8 million in the fourth quarter consisting mainly of inventory write-downs. The decision to close was based on a series of unfortunate events that created challenges which were too big to continue developing the business. Earnings have also been hit by the slower pace of growth than in previous quarters.

Growth across the regions

Ongoing strong sales in Region Sweden resulted in a 10% increase in net sales, with organic growth accounting for 6% of that rise. Our largest operation, OEM Automatic, continues to deliver strong growth, and we have also seen good performances from our niche operations Rydahls Bromsbandfabrik, Telfa and Svenska Batteripoolen. Incoming orders for the region were also strong in the fourth quarter, rising 16%.

Ongoing strong growth in Region Finland, the Baltic states and China resulted in an 8% increase in net sales. Here too we can see a certain slowing of momentum in organic growth, which amounted to 3% in the period. Incoming orders remain unchanged compared with the year-ago quarter.

Demand was weaker in OEM's third region, comprising Denmark, Norway, the UK and Central Eastern Europe. Growth reached 4% in the quarter, primarily due to currency translation. Narrower margins coupled with the aforementioned closure costs resulted in negative earnings for the fourth quarter. Incoming orders remained strong however, rising 10% in the period.

Record year for OEM

Summing up 2018 as a whole, we can say that it was a record year for OEM. Net sales rose 14% in 2018 and OEM's sales also exceeded SEK 3 billion for the first time – a milestone in the company's history. Profit before tax rose 16%, which means that profit before tax exceeded SEK 300 million – yet another milestone. The EBITA margin stood at 11.0%, which is marginally lower than the previous year but above our long-term profitability target.

Ongoing focus on the operations

2018 presents a mixed picture. We set new records with two particularly strong quarters in the April-September period but, while incoming orders experienced a good rate of growth, we also saw a slowdown in demand in the fourth quarter. We are very conscious of the changes taking place in the world and we are well able to adjust our plans to suit the circumstances. Continually improving our cost efficiencies and offerings to customers gives us the strengths required to further enhance our competitiveness and thus gain new market share.

Acquisition analysis (SEK million)

As a result of the acquisition, other intangible fixed assets have increased by SEK 7.2 million. Other intangible fixed assets relate to customer relationships that will be amortised over a five-year period. Consolidated goodwill is not tax deductible.

OEM normally uses an acquisition structure with a base consideration and contingent consideration. Contingent consideration is initially measured at the present value of the probable earn-out amount, which is SEK 3.9 million for the acquisitions this year. The period for contingent consideration is three (3) years at most and the earn-out is capped at SEK 4.2 million. Both the base consideration and the contingent consideration are settled in cash.

Transaction expenses linked to acquisitions that have been made amount to SEK - million in the period.

Remeasurement of contingent consideration

Contingent consideration recognised as a liability was remeasured based on the development of previously acquired businesses and was subsequently reduced by SEK -5.1 million (-7.4). This has been recognised in Other Operating Income and had a positive SEK 5.1 million (7.4) effect on the operating profit in 2018.

Acquisition-related consideration liabilities (both absolute and contingent) on 31 December 2018 totalled SEK 16.4 million (21.3).

Accounting policies

This condensed consolidated interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and in compliance with relevant provisions from the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in compliance with Chapter 9, Interim Reports, of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The Group and the Parent Company have applied the same accounting policies and basis of preparation as in the latest annual report. No International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) or International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) interpretations adopted in 2018 have had a significant effect on the reported results or financial position of the Group.

There are no separate disclosures of the fair values of financial assets and liabilities stated at cost because the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are considered to be

reasonable approximations of their fair values. This is because the company management believes there have been no material fluctuations in market interest rates or credit spreads that would have a material impact on the fair value of the Group's interest-bearing liabilities. Furthermore, the fair value of trade and other current receivables and payables is assumed to approximate their carrying amount given their short-term nature.

IFRS 9 Financial instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers, effective for accounting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018, have not resulted in any material changes to the financial reporting process of the Group as from 1 January 2018.

IFRS 16 Leases supersedes IAS 17 Leases and applies to accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Under IFRS 16, OEM is essentially required, as a lessee, to recognise all leases as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet reflecting the right to use the leased asset or the obligation to pay future lease payments. In the income statement, a lessee recognises amortisation of lease assets and interest on lease liabilities. This is not expected to have any material effect on profit before tax. Operating cash flow is expected to increase and financing cash flow is expected to decrease because the portion of the lease payments that represents repayment of the lease liability will be recognised as a payment within financing activities. The leases are mainly for rental of property and vehicles. In its transition to the new standard, OEM has chosen to apply the modified retrospective approach, which means that the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 16 will be recognised in retained earnings in the opening balance as at 1 January 2019 without restatement of comparative figures. OEM has chosen to recognise right-of-use assets related to earlier operating leases for premises at their written-down value from the start of the lease, and equipment and vehicles at the value of the debt on 1 January 2019 plus prepayments recognised on the balance sheet as at 31 December 2018. Leases with a term of 12 months or less or leases that expire within 12 months of the date of initially applying the standard are classified as short-term leases and are not included in the recognised lease liabilities or lease assets. Moreover, OEM has chosen not to recognise leases where the underlying asset has a low value when new (approximately SEK 50,000 or less) as a right-of-use asset or lease liability.

Existing finance leases previously recognised under IAS 17 Leases have been remeasured in accordance with IFRS 16 to the amounts they were recognised at on the day immediately before adoption of the new standard, except for finance leases that expire within 12 months of the date of initially applying the standard which have been recognised as short-term leases upon the application of IFRS 16. Furthermore, for other finance leases, VAT that was previously included in the finance lease has been removed from the books upon the application of the standard.

A marginal lending rate has been set per country and asset type.

The effects of adoption of IFRS are given below.

Definitioner

In addition to the conventional financial performance measures established by IFRS, OEM uses the term EBITA/EBITA margin as defined below. The reason is that OEM Wishes to summarise the companies' operations with regard to profit and margins, adjusted for amortisations fo Group-related amortisations arising in connection with acquisitions and thereby improve the comparability of financial information across different periods of time.

EBITA

Operating profit before amortisation of acquisition-related intangible fixed assets A reconciliation of the calculation of EBITA is presented on page 12.

EBITA margin EBITA divided by net sales

Return on capital employed EBITA plus finance income as a percentage of average capital employed

Capital employed Total assets less non-interest-bearing liabilities and provisions

Return on total capital EBITA plus finance income as a percentage of average total capital

Return on Equity Profit for the year divided by average shareholders' equity
