Demand has stabilised in the third quarter. Consolidated net sales were admittedly down 2% in comparison with the same period last year, but the growth can be attributed entirely to currency movements, which had a negative 3% impact on sales. A positive 1% contribution from acquisitions means no change in organic growth in the third quarter. We are seeing positive growth compared with the previous quarter, when net sales were down 10%. Incoming orders are following the same pattern, down by 3% in comparison with the same period last year, but are considerably stronger than in the previous quarter when they fell by 13%.
Operating profit (EBITA) rose 3% in the third quarter and the EBITA margin further improved to 14.0% (13.4%). This is the best performance in a single quarter in OEM's history. The explanation for this is a slightly lower turnover with a significantly lower cost base, due in particular to reduced costs for travel.
The picture for the January to September 2020 nine-month period is similar. Incoming orders were more or less unchanged in comparison with the same period in 2019, and while net sales were down 2% there was an improvement in earnings. The EBITA margin increased from 12.2% to 13.0%.
The Covid-19 pandemic is still affecting our business. However, many of our operations have resumed marketing activities in the latter half of the quarter, despite prevailing differences in the conditions between regions.
Region Sweden reported 4% organic growth in the quarter, which was a strong performance. Net sales growth was adversely impacted by currency movements, with total growth reaching 2%. The entity reporting strongest growth is Elektro Elco. OEM Automatic, Batteripoolen and ATC Tape Converting have also performed well and deserve a mention.
Region Finland, the Baltic states and China experienced a drop in both incoming orders and net sales. Organic growth was a negative 2% and the currency impact was a negative 4%, leading to a 6% decline in net sales. Sitek-Palvelu, one of our smaller entities, has posted positive growth all year.
The pandemic has generally affected Region Denmark, Norway, the UK and East Central Europe more than our Swedish and Finnish business activities. It achieved 10% negative organic sales growth. The Norwegian, Polish and Hungarian business activities have weathered the pandemic storm the best, although they have experienced a slight drop in sales. The markets most severely hit by the pandemic are the UK and Slovakia.
Time after time, our business model has demonstrated an inherent strength that never falters. It would not have been possible to steer through the challenges that this year has presented without our fantastic colleagues and a strong corporate culture. The pandemic is not a temporary storm that will soon blow over. We are working intensively to develop and adapt our ways of working in response to the new conditions, so that we can continue to help existing and new customers to grow and thereby improve and strengthen our position in the market.

A 2% decrease in net sales due to foreign exchange movements resulted in positive organic growth of 1% in the region. ATC Tape Converting and Elektro Elco reported an increase of 27% and 23% respectively in the period, while Batteripoolen and Nexa reported 5% and 2% growth respectively. OEM Automatic, the Group's largest company, posted 6% lower year-on-year sales during the year.

Net sales for the January to September period totalled SEK 521 million (530) which is 2% lower than last year. A 3% decrease in net sales due to foreign exchange movements resulted in positive organic growth of 1% in the region.
Incoming orders for the region fell by 2% to SEK 518 million (528) in the January to September period. During the period, incoming orders were 1% lower than net sales.
Of the region's companies, Sitek-Palvelu has exhibited strong growth during the year with a 22% net increase in sales. Other entities in Finland and the Baltic States have recorded lower sales than the previous year, while the operations in China are on a par with last year. The operations in the Baltic states and China are small and their impact on total growth in the region is marginal.
EBITA rose 20% to SEK 67 million (56), which is primarily a result of an improved coverage ratio, a lower cost base and also partly government support measures aimed at easing the financial burden caused by the Corona pandemic.

Net sales in the January to September period decreased by 6% to SEK 433 million (462). Exchange rate movements had a negative 5% impact on net sales, and sales from acquired businesses boosted them by 6%, which means the region posted negative organic growth of 7%. The operations in Norway delivered the highest organic growth rates as a percentage.
Incoming orders in the January to September period decreased by 7% to SEK 431 million (463). During the period, incoming orders were SEK 2 million lower than net sales.
EBITA fell by 11% to SEK 31 million (35). This is due primarily to a reduction in sales and a lower coverage ratio. However, the decline in earnings has been been partly offset by a reduction in costs and government financial assistance aimed at supporting businesses through the Corona pandemic. EBITA has also been positively affected by a SEK 2.8 million remeasurement of contingent considerations.
Operating cash flow was SEK 313 million (199) in the January to September 2020 period. Cash flow totalled SEK 189 million (3) during the same period and was affected, in part, by investing activities of SEK -31 million (-61). No dividends have been paid this year, which means the impact on the cash flow was SEK 0 million (-156).
The Group's investments in fixed assets in the January to September 2020 period totalled SEK 21 million (57). Property, machinery and equipment accounted for SEK 6 million (53), and intangible assets for SEK 15 million (4), SEK 15 million (-) of which is related to business combinations.
Cash and cash equivalents, comprising cash and bank balances, amounted to SEK 230 million (42). Cash and cash equivalents, together with committed undrawn credit facilities, amounted to SEK 623 million (346) on 30 September 2020. The Group's interest-bearing financial liabilities totalled SEK 101 million (233), of which SEK 63 million (68) are liabilities recognised in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases, which means that the Group has a positive net cash balance.
Amortisation of intangible assets totalling SEK 15 million (15) has been charged to the income statement for the January to September 2020 period. On 30 September 2020, intangible assets amounted to SEK 194 million (185).
On 30 September 2020, the equity/assets ratio was 68% (58%).
The Group's average number of employees in 2020 was 899 (875). At the end of the period, the number of employees was 893 (892). 15 of them have come from acquired companies.
The company did not repurchase any shares during the period. The company's total shareholding was 61,847 shares on 30 September 2020, which is equivalent to 0.3% of the aggregate number of shares. The Annual General Meeting is authorised to repurchase up to 10% of the shares, which is the equivalent of 2,316,930 shares.
On 31 January 2020, the shareholding of Zoedale Ltd in the United Kingdom was acquired. The company markets valves and actuators for different processes and industrial applications. Its head office is located in Bedford. It reports annual sales of approximately SEK 37 million and has 15 employees. The company became part of Region Denmark, Norway, the UK and East Central Europe on 1 February 2020. The consideration for the business acquired was SEK 26.2 million, plus contingent considerations estimated at SEK 6.1 million, based on the planned growth of the business in 2020 and 2021.

| The acquired company's net assets at the time of acquisition | value |
| Intangible fixed assets | 7.3 |
| Buildings and land | 5.2 |
| Other fixed assets | 0.2 |

| Deferred tax liability | -1.4 |
| Other liabilities | -5.5 |
| Net identifiable assets/liabilities | 18.6 |
| Goodwill | 7.6 |
| Consideration, including contingent consideration | 26.2 |
As a result of the acquisition, other intangible fixed assets will increase by SEK 7.3 million. Other intangible fixed assets relate to customer relationships that will be amortised over a five-year period.
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 6.1 million for the acquisitions this year. The period for contingent consideration is two years at most and the earn-out is capped at SEK 7.1 million. Both the base consideration and the contingent consideration are settled in cash.
External transaction expenses linked to acquisitions that have been made amount to SEK 0.4 million (-) in the period
Contingent consideration recognised as a liability was remeasured based on the development of previously acquired businesses and was subsequently reduced by SEK 4.0 million (-). This has been recognised in Other Operating Income and had a positive SEK 4.0 million (-) effect on the operating profit in 2020. Acquisition-related consideration liabilities (both absolute and contingent) on 30 September 2020 totalled SEK 8.1 million (11).
Denna delårsrapport i sammandrag för koncernen har upprättats i enlighet med IAS 34 Delårsrapportering samt tillämpliga bestämmelser i Årsredovisningslagen. Delårsrapporten för moderbolaget har upprättats i enlighet med Årsredovisningslagens 9 kapitel, Delårsrapport. 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 2020 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 measured at amortised 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.
Unlike in previous interim reports, operating costs are presented on the following lines in the condensed consolidated statement of income: goods for resale, staff costs and other expenses. In previous reports, these have been presented on one line: operating costs. To allow for comparability, figures for previous periods have been broken down according to the same principle.
Financial support received from the government for short-term work and sick pay in Sweden and government funding for temporary staff redundancies in Denmark, Norway and the UK are recognised as revenue in Other Operating Income in the condensed consolidated statement of income. Reduced social security contributions in Sweden, Poland and Finland are recognised as cost reductions under staff costs.
The OEM Group is exposed to both business-related risks and financial risks through its activities. Business-related risks include competition and operational risks, and financial risks include liquidity risk, interest rate risk and currency risk. The financial operations of the OEM Group and the management of financial risks are mainly handled by the Parent Company. Details of risks affecting the Group are set out on page 35 and pages 77 to 79 in the 2019 Annual Report. Other than the risks and uncertainties set out in the 2019 Annual Report, along with the general uncertainty about the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, no significant risks or uncertainties have been identified or removed. Our specific assessment of the risks arising from Covid-19 is presented below. Financial support received from the government for short-term work and sick pay in Sweden and government funding for temporary staff redundancies in Denmark, Norway and the UK have been recognised as revenue in Other Operating Income in the condensed consolidated statement of income. The government has not yet confirmed the support for short-term work in Sweden, but we assess that the companies in the OEM Group that have applied for and received government support for shortterm work are eligible for the funding.
No transactions between OEM and related parties have been entered into that materially affect the financial position and performance of the Group or the Parent Company during the period, with the exception of inter-company dividends.
Net sales for the Parent Company in the January to September 2020 period totalled SEK 44 million (42) and profit after financial items was SEK 60 million (45). Net sales relate entirely to intercompany transactions. The foregoing risks and uncertainties specified for the Group also apply indirectly to the Parent Company.
Events arising from Covid-19 are described separately below. Otherwise, there are no other significant events to report after the close of the reporting period.
The pandemic had a limited impact on sales in the first quarter of the year. Most business activities experienced lower sales and earnings in the second quarter. Demand has gradually improved in the third quarter and the delivery capacities of suppliers are now back to normal.
The Group's costs have decreased, largely due to reduced travel activity and cancelled marketing activities. Government financial assistance has been received in both Sweden and other countries. The management team has been maintaining close dialogues with the respective operations in order to support efforts to adapt business activities to the changing circumstances. Plans of action have been followed and updated to manage different levels of change. A reduction in travel, a slight decrease in headcount, postponed or cancelled marketing activities and other cost-cutting measures have paid off. Short-term work with government support has been activated in most of the operations in Sweden in the second quarter. Operations in other countries have availed of similar government funding schemes aimed at helping local business. Most of the Swedish operations ended temporary layoffs during the summer months.
In light of the pandemic, it was decided earlier this year to withdraw both the planned redemption programme and the proposed dividends totalling SEK 394 million. This was announced in the Q1 2020 interim report.
The health of our employees, suppliers and customers is OEM's main concern and we are carefully monitoring the pandemic and are following the regulations and recommendations of the respective governments to contain the spread of the virus to the greatest extent possible. Measures taken to limit transmission of the virus include physical distancing in the workplace, guidelines on the use of lunch rooms and conference rooms, remote meetings instead of face-to-face meetings, and clear information to employees to mitigate the spread of the virus both inside and outside the workplace. Some business meetings and travel have resumed in the last quarter.
The majority of OEM's employees are working in their regular places of work, which have been adapted to make them Covid-secure with clear rules in place to limit the spread of the virus. The pandemic has affected the Group's operations to varying degrees and measures have been implemented based on the situation of the respective operation. The effect on earnings has generally been lower than the drop in sales due to decreased costs.
The sharp increase in the number of coronavirus cases in Europe in early October shows that the situation remains uncertain. Adjustments to strategies and ways of working are continually being made in response to the particular situation of each business and market. Maintaining a close dialogue with customers and suppliers, introducing measures as and when required, and seeking out new opportunities are helping the Group to consolidate its position in the market.

OEM International AB (publ), company id 556184-6691
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of OEM International AB as of 30 September 2020 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.

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 of Group-related amortisations arising in connection with acquisitions and thereby improve the comparability of financial information across different periods of time.
Operating profit before amortisation of acquisition-related intangible fixed assets A reconciliation of the calculation of EBITA is presented on page 13.
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
