Demand was strong in the fourth quarter of 2021 and remained high in the first quarter of this year. In combination with good delivery capabilities, this resulted in a 23% increase in sales. The impact on net sales from acquisitions and exchange rate movements was 7 percentage points and 4 percentage points respectively, resulting in organic growth of 12%.
Incoming orders also remained strong and rose 27%, exceeding sales by 16%. As delivery times from manufacturers become increasingly longer, customers are placing longer orders than normal in order to secure supplies for the future.
Operating profit (EBITA) rose 35% in the quarter and the EBITA margin expanded to 16.7% (15.2%). The strong performance was due to increased sales and an improved gross margin.
The war in Ukraine has had limited impact on OEM to date. OEM has a few customers in the affected region with minimal sales activity. Deliveries to the customers that it had in Russia have been halted. A number of OEM's large customers, however, have customers of their own in the region and this will result in a decline in demand. Given OEM's total sales, this is not expected to impact its sales to any great extent.
The Irish company Demesne Electrical was acquired in early January 2022. It had a turnover of approximately SEK 205 million and an operating profit of around SEK 26 million in 2021. The company is a leading distributor of electrical components and uses several of the same suppliers as other OEM companies. The acquired business is an excellent complement to the Group and has grown well during the first quarter.
The combination of strong demand, price increases and positive currency movements has generally resulted in robust growth and improved gross margin. Growth was strongest in Region Denmark, Norway, the British Isles and East Central Europe, and in Region Finland, the Baltic states and China, with organic growth reaching 20% and 18% respectively. Organic growth in Region Sweden reached 8%.
Although OEM's operations have managed to maintain good delivery capabilities so far, they will continue to face issues with delivery capacity and this is reflected in the ever-growing order book.
The current geopolitical tensions, shortage of raw materials and significant price increases are causing uncertainty about the future. OEM has a history of strengthening market positions and market share during troubled times. The creativity and commitment of our employees are key to the positive performance of the Group which allows it grow stronger over time.

On 13 January 2022, all of the shares in Demesne Electrical Sales Ltd were acquired. The company was acquired through the transfer of all shares in the parent company Balfe Securities Limited. Demesne Electrical Sales is Ireland's leading independent importer and distributor of electrical control, switch-gear, energy-saving and installation products. It has 52 employees and an annual turnover of approximately SEK 205 million. The company has its head office in Dublin. The company became part of Region Denmark, Norway, the British Isles and East Central Europe on 1 January 2022. The consideration for the business acquired was SEK 209.3 million, plus contingent considerations estimated at SEK 71.4 million, based on how the business develops in 2022 and 2023.
The analysis of acquisition that has been made is a preliminary analysis due to the short amount of time between the date of acquisition and the preparation of the interim report.
| The acquired company's net assets at the time of acquisition | Group fair value |
|---|---|
| Intangible fixed assets | 91.2 |
| Other fixed assets | 3.4 |
| Inventories | 22.8 |
| Trade and other receivables | 71.3 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 20.2 |
| Deferred tax liability | -11.4 |
| Trade payables and other operating liabilities | -78.9 |
| Net identifiable assets/liabilities | 118.6 |
| Consolidated goodwill | 90.7 |
| Cash consideration | 209.3 |
Cash consideration comprises cash payment of a fixed purchase price of SEK 125.7 million, a withheld amount on the fixed purchase price of SEK 12.2 million and a contingent consideration of SEK 71.4 million.
As a result of the acquisition, other intangible fixed assets increase by SEK 181.9 million, relating to supplier relationships and goodwill. Supplier relationships will be amortised over a 5-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 71.4 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 79.5 million. Both the base consideration and the contingent consideration are settled in cash.
External transaction expenses linked to acquisitions amount to SEK 1.5 million (-) in the period.
Developments in previously implemented acquisitions have not resulted in a remeasurement of contingent consideration recognised as a liability. Acquisition-related consideration liabilities (both absolute and contingent) on 31 March 2022 totalled SEK 87 million (5.4).
This condensed consolidated interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and with relevant provisions in 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 2022 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 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, in the opinion of management, there have been no significant changes 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.
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 management of financial risks are mainly handled by the Parent Company. For a complete report on the risks affecting the Group, please refer to pages 32 and 33 and pages 78 to 81 of the 2021 Annual Report.
In addition to the risks and uncertainties set out in the 2021 Annual Report, along with the uncertainty surrounding the current geopolitical tensions, the shortage of materials in certain sectors is expected to continue to impact the capacity of our supply chains, resulting in longer lead times. The imbalance in the transport sector has also led to a significant increase in freight costs, which is expected to continue to affect margins in the coming quarters.
No transactions between OEM and related parties have been entered into that have materially affected 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 quarter of 2022 totalled SEK 20 million (14) and profit after financial items was SEK 16 million (4). Net sales relate entirely to inter-company transactions. The foregoing risks and uncertainties specified for the Group also apply indirectly to the Parent Company.
There are no other significant events to report after the close of the reporting period.
The escalating geopolitical tensions at the EU border with Ukraine are having an impact on world trade that is causing uncertainty about the economic outlook. Since the Group's sales to Ukraine and Russia are negligible, the direct impact of the situation on OEM is assessed as low. OEM has a few customers in the affected region with minimal sales activity. Deliveries to customers in Russia have been halted. A number of OEM's large customers, however, have customers of their own in the region and this will result in a decline in demand. Given OEM's total sales, this is not expected to impact its sales to any great extent. Group management and the management team of each company are monitoring developments closely and are adapting their strategies in order to best serve their customers.

In addition to the conventional financial performance measures established by IFRS, OEM uses the terms Organic growth and EBITA/EBITA margin, the definitions of which are given below. The reason is that OEM wants to provide clearer comparability of sales performance between periods, without the effects of currency movements or acquisitions, and be able to summarise the companies' operations with regard to profit and margins, excluding amortisation and depreciation that arose on acquisition.
The change in total revenue in the period, adjusted for acquisitions, sales and currency movements, measured against the total revenue in the comparative period.
Operating profit before amortisation and impairment of acquisition-related intangible fixed assets A reconciliation of the calculation of EBITA is presented on page 11.
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 reduced by 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
