Second-quarter turnover was up 3% and also at the same level as the first quarter, despite four fewer business days. Acquisitions affected growth positively by 4%, the currency had a marginal impact and organic growth was negative by 1%.
As in the prior quarter, incoming orders exceeded turnover and were up 8% on the year-ago second quarter. The order book increased by SEK 9 million and is 18% of the rolling 12 month turnover, which is lower than the highest level in 2021 but above pre-pandemic levels.
Operating profit (EBITA) fell by 12% due to a weaker gross margin and increased costs. The EBITA margin stood at 13.9% (16.2%).
There is considerable variation among the operations, where the majority of Swedish businesses had good development and the demand on the Finnish market is still weak.
Sales revenue for Region Sweden increased by 7%, boosted by just over 6 percentage points by acquisitions. Together with a slight adverse impact from currency, this meant that organic revenue growth was up by just over 1 percentage point. Incoming orders were strong and rose 12%. Nexa Trading, Elektro Elco and the Group's largest company OEM Automatic accounted for the strongest growth in the quarter.
Region Finland, the Baltic states and China experienced a decline in demand and sales growth was down 11%, which is primarily organic. The only entity to report growth in the quarter was OEM Automatic China.
Region Denmark, Norway, the British Isles and East Central Europe reported a 3% rise in sales, boosted slightly by currency movements and by just over 1 percentage point by acquisitions, resulting in organic growth just shy of 2%. The operations in Denmark, the Czech Republic and Ireland delivered the highest rates of growth.
The higher demand compared to the second half of the previous year together with a strong order intake gives a good start to the year. Weaker gross margins and higher costs underscore the importance of focusing on creating added value for our customers and keeping operations efficient and agile. Our ability to gain market share and find more efficient and effective ways of working over the years is testament to the creativity and innovative spirit of our organisation and will lead to continued positive development.
Jörgen Zahlin Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer

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 accordance with the requirements of Chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, Interim Report. The Group and the Parent Company have applied the same accounting policies and basis of preparation as in the latest annual report. None of the IFRS or IFRIC interpretations that came into legal effect on 1 January 2024 have had any significant impact on the Group's financial statements or position.
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 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 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. A full description of risks to which the Group is exposed can be found on pages 33-35 and 79-82 of the 2023 Annual Report. Other than the risks and uncertainties set out in the 2023 Annual Report, no significant risks or uncertainties have been identified or removed.
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 to Parent Company shareholders.
In the second quarter of 2024, net sales for the Parent Company totalled SEK 29 million (28) and profit after financial items was SEK 9 million (102). 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 significant events to report after the close of the reporting period.

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.
Organic growth
The change in total revenue in the period, adjusted for acquisitions, sales and currency movements, measured against the total revenue in the comparative period.
Debt/equity ratio Interest-bearing liabilities divided by shareholders' equity
Operating profit before amortisation and impairment 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 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
