Growth in the second quarter of 2020 has been marked by decreasing demand. Net sales were down 10% on the same period last year. Growth was up 1% due to the impact of acquisitions while currency movements had a negative effect of 1%, which resulted in -10% organic growth in the period. In turn, incoming orders fell by 13%.
Following a sustained period of positive growth, we now find ourselves in an entirely new market situation. Our operations have been heavily affected by the Covid-19 crisis, but our organisation has adapted positively to a new way of working. The pandemic has created a difficult situation and considerable uncertainty about the near-term outlook and the long-term effects on the market. At the same time, the fact that our earnings momentum remains intact despite a decline in sales demonstrates our high degree of agility and an ability to adapt and adjust to new conditions.
Operating profit (EBITA) rose 7% in the second quarter. Earnings have been affected by a reduction in the Group's operating costs during the period and by funding received from government support schemes in the countries where we have operations. The decrease in sales combined with the increase in earnings has pushed the operating margin up to 13%, which is an improvement of two percentage points on the second quarter of 2019.
Overall for the first six months of the year, OEM's sales were down 2% while incoming orders rose 2%. Operating profit (EBITA) rose 6% and the operating margin reached 12.6%.
All regions continued to experience reduced demand in the second quarter. In Region Sweden, sales fell by 9% and the drop-off in demand has affected all operations, except for Elektro Elco and ATC Tape Converting. In Region Finland, the Baltic states and China, demand was down by 7% and most of the operations in this region also reported a year-on-year drop in sales. In Region Denmark, Norway, the UK and East Central Europe, sales fell by 16%, although the operations in Norway reported positive growth attributable to the acquisition made at the end of 2019.
Our business, like many others, has been significantly hit by the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and most of our operations have seen a month-by-month slowdown in demand in the second quarter. We were prepared for the arrival of a whole new set of circumstances in the second quarter, however, and we took various measures early on to adapt our operations and safeguard the health of our employees. A strong ability to adapt will be a core component of our operations for the foreseeable future.
I mentioned in the Chief Executive's Review for the first quarter of the year that how we get through this crisis depends greatly on how we enter it. It's important that we continue to be creative when it comes to driving our business forward. The digital transition and our employees' positive attitude have certainly helped us and, although the coronavirus is taking us into uncharted and challenging times, we are well placed to develop our operations and find new business opportunities.

Net sales were down 2% to SEK 1,001 million (1,026) in the first six months. A 1% increase in net sales due to foreign exchange movements resulted in 3% negative organic growth for the region. ATC Tape Converting and Elektro Elco reported an increase of 32% and 22% respectively in the period, while Batteripoolen and Nexa reported 6% and 5% growth respectively. OEM Automatic, the Group's largest company, posted 8% lower year-on-year sales for the first half of the year.

In the first half of the year, net sales were roughly on a par with the previous year at SEK 355 million (354). A 1% increase in net sales due to foreign exchange movements resulted in 1% negative organic growth for the region.
Incoming orders for the region increased 2% to SEK 363 million (357) in the first six months. Incoming orders were 2% higher than net sales in the period.
The Finnish company Sitek-Palvelu has performed strongly in the first six months, with a 36% increase in net sales. Other entities in Finland, China and the Baltic states have not reached previous performance levels. The operations in the Baltic states and China are small and their impact on total growth in the region is marginal.
EBITA rose 32% to SEK 43 million (32), 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 Covid-19.

Net sales were down 5% to SEK 299 million (315) in the first six months. Exchange rate movements had a negative 1% impact on net sales, and sales from acquired businesses boosted them by 5%, which means the region posted negative organic growth of 9%. The operations in Norway delivered the highest organic growth rates as a percentage.
Incoming orders in the first six months decreased by 9% to SEK 296 million (327). During the period, incoming orders were 1% lower than net sales.
EBITA fell by 14% to SEK 22 million (26). 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 Covid-19 pandemic. EBITA has also been positively affected by a SEK 2.3 million remeasurement of contingent considerations.
Operating cash flow was SEK 240 million (128) in the first six months of 2020. Cash flow totalled SEK 154 million (3) in the first six months of 2020 and was affected, in part, by investing activities of SEK -27 million (-45). No dividends were 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 first six months of 2020 totalled SEK 19 million (41). Property, machinery and equipment accounted for SEK 4 million (39), and intangible assets for SEK 15 million (2), SEK 15 million (-) of which is related to business combinations.
Cash and cash equivalents, comprising cash and bank balances, amounted to SEK 194 million (42). Cash and cash equivalents, together with committed undrawn credit facilities, amounted to SEK 557 million (301) on 30 June 2020. The Group's interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 130 million (275), of which liabilities according to IFRS 16 leasing amounted to SEK 66 million (66), which means that the Group has a positive net cash.
Amortisation of intangible assets totalling SEK 10 million (9.9) has been charged to the income statement for the first half of 2020. On 30 June 2020, intangible assets amounted to SEK 198 million (187).
On 30 June 2020, the equity/assets ratio was 66% (55%).
The Group's average number of employees in the first six months of 2020 was 899 (871). At the end of the period, the number of employees was 899 (879). 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 June 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 how the business develops 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 |

| 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 2.8 million (-). This has been recognised in Other Operating Income and had a positive SEK 2.8 million (-) effect on the operating profit in 2020. Acquisition-related consideration liabilities (both absolute and contingent) on 30 June 2020 totalled SEK 11 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 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.
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 first six months of 2020 totalled SEK 29 million (28) and profit after financial items was SEK 58 million (41). Net sales relate entirely to inter-company 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.
Covid-19 had a limited impact on OEM in Q1. Most of the operations experienced lower sales and earnings in Q2 due to reduced demand from customers and delivery issues from our suppliers. For many of the Group's operations, however, the decline in sales and earnings has been partly offset by the effects of cost-saving measures and a decrease in travel activity, along with government financial assistance in both Sweden and other countries.
The OEM Group operations are governed by market demand and usually follow changes in Swedish and European purchasing manager indices, which have been indicating a certain degree of recovery in recent months.
The management team has been having, and continues to hold, frequent meetings to monitor the financial impact on the Group's companies in readiness to implement appropriate measures. This means that the management team is maintaining close dialogues with the respective operations in order to support the continued efforts to reduce costs in response to lower demand. The management team and each entity monitor, follow up and update plans of action to enable them to manage different levels of decline. Cost-saving measures that have been implemented in the companies include termination of temporary contracts and temporary postponement of planned expansions of services and other new investments. Planned investments have been postponed, as have some major one-off costs that are not critical to the operation of the business. Short-term work with government support has been activated in most of the operations in Sweden in Q2. Operations in other countries have availed of similar government funding schemes aimed at helping local business.
The current global market situation, the Covid-19 outbreak, its effects on markets and the economy, and the risk of the outbreak's potential financial impact on OEM's operations and earnings led to the decision, 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 Covid-19 situation and are following the latest regulations and recommendations from the Public Health Agency of Sweden and the governments of the respective countries to contain the spread of the virus to the greatest extent possible. The management team is supporting the companies in their efforts to reduce the risk of transmission. Measures that have been taken to limit transmission of the virus include:
It is our view that the Covid-19 outbreak has affected the Group mainly through reduced demand to a varying degree in different markets, but as a result of the implementation of measures and cost-saving initiatives, the negative impact on the operations' profit levels has generally been less than the drop in sales. By preparing ourselves for the fact that a return to pre-Covid sales levels will probably be a long process, we can adjust the cost base to current market conditions and work alongside customers and suppliers to respond to their changing needs and opportunities. Thanks to measures taken and our financial strength, we are strong and ready to face the changes ahead, even when the effects of the pandemic begin to subside.

The Board of Directors and the CEO declare that the interim report gives a true and fair summary of the Group's and Parent Company's business operations, financial position and results, and describes significant risks and uncertainties faced by the Parent Company and the companies included in the Group.

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 10.
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
