CEO's comments

In the third quarter, we generated operating profit (EBIT) of SEK 25.3 million and net sales totalled SEK 126.2 million. This corresponded to an operating margin of 20.0 %. Net sales increased by 33.6 percent year-on-year, the highest figure on record for an individual quarter. The increase was mainly due to record high utilisation in the transport operations.

On the construction side, volumes were higher in the third quarter compared to the corresponding period in the previous year. Because construction work started early in the year last year, a high proportion of the work was carried out in the first half-year, unlike this year when construction work started later. Although this had a positive impact on the third quarter, year-on-year volumes were down for the year to date. In the lining operations, utilisation was higher year-on-year, and the number of enquiries and orders increased. Snow clearance on behalf of Trafikverket will start on 15 November, in line with previous years.

The tests and approvals needed to carry out work with our new battery-powered MPV on the Swedish railways have been completed and obtained since June. In Karlstad, the first live project with Railcares MPV started on 21 July, where we carried out cable excavations over four weeks. All the work relating to MPV has gone very well and ensures a good foundation for future development of battery-powered working vehicles on the railways.

Transport Scandinavia presented a very strong quarter with year-on-year growth of 57.1 percent. The increased sales, which set a new record for the segment, are the result of high utilisation of construction transport in connection with track replacements for operators including Leonhard Weiss, Infrakraft and others. In combination with extended and expanded transports for LKAB, where the current contract runs until 31 December 2021, this contributed to achieving record volume transports. Virtually all available resources, both in terms of personnel and machinery, operated at full capacity during the quarter.

We also transported iron ore on behalf of Kaunis Iron in the quarter, and transport services are proceeding as planned with two round trips each day, seven days a week, between Pitkäjärvi and Narvik.

The locomotive workshop had high utilisation in the quarter and demand for our services remains strong. During the quarter, we provided workshop services for BLS Rail, Strukton, Infranord and others, as well as carrying out repairs and maintenance of our own locomotives.

Year-on-year utilisation was lower in the third quarter in the UK, due to projects postponed by the customer. We carried out work in most of Network Rail's geographical regions in the quarter.

The business area Machine Sales presented lower year-on-year sales in the third quarter, totalling SEK 6.1 million (7.1). The decrease was due to reduced leasing of machinery to the Swedish construction operations. There were no major machine sales in the quarter.

The workshop is currently constructing two Ballast Feeders that will be used in our proprietary leasing operations in Sweden or abroad, as well as constructing power packs for Loram scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter 2021.

Railcare currently has several projects out for tendering in areas where our innovative machines are a good fit with customer requirements. The planned establishment in Asia has been delayed due to Covid restrictions. We expect to start preparations for this in 2022.

The order stock is stable with multiple and long-term agreements relating to both transport and construction operations, which means that the outlook is very positive. In Sweden, the government has initiated historically high investments in railways and infrastructure to be rolled out over a long period. Many countries require extensive maintenance work on the railways and there is considerable interest in our innovative railway solutions, particularly our latest innovation relating to battery vehicles for railway machines.

Railcare has a very exciting journey ahead. As the world opens up again after the pandemic, we will be able to start to meet global demand, and we have made adjustments to Group management to better be able to meet the planned expansion. Looking ahead, I will be focusing on our second main market, the UK, and on being Business Area Manager of Construction Abroad. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our staff, shareholders, customers and stakeholders for the 8 years that I have served as CEO of Railcare. We have made excellent progress together, and continue to build for the future. I also want to wish Mattias good luck in his role as Railcare's new CEO.

With innovative railway solutions and our staff as our primary resource, we are building the Railcare of the future.

Daniel Öholm CEO up until 30 September 2021

I am both humbled and grateful for the confidence shown in me with the appointment as CEO of Railcare. This is a fascinating company with an excellent corporate culture, great staff and a strong drive.

The extensive investments in railways announced in Sweden and internationally are important for the transition to a sustainable society. I am proud that Railcare leads the progress in sustainable railway maintenance thanks to the development of its battery-powered maintenance machine MPV. I look forward to continuing to develop innovative solutions alongside my incredible colleagues.

Mattias Remahl CEO from 1 October 2021

Construction Sweden

Net sales in the segment Construction Sweden amounted to SEK 35.9 million (29.9) in the third quarter, an increase of 20.2 percent year-on-year.

Volumes in the third quarter increased compared to the corresponding period in the previous year.

Although this has had a positive impact on the third quarter, so far in the year volumes are down compared to the previous year. In the lining operations, utilisation was higher compared to the corresponding period in the previous year, and the number of enquiries increased.

Profit after financial items increased year-on-year, amounting to SEK 6.7 million (-0.1).

minor rounding differences can be found in totals.
Alternative key performance This Interim Report refers to a number of financial measures not defined in accordance with
indicators IFRS, known as alternative key performance indicators. Railcare uses these key performance
indicators to monitor and analyse the financial outcome of the Group's operations and its
financial position. These alternative key performance indicators are intended to supplement,
not replace, the financial measures presented in accordance with IFRS. See definitions and
further information below.

activities.
This performance indicator illustrates how
much of the Company's earnings remain after
all expenses, excluding corporation tax, have
been deducted.
Total assets Calculated as the total of the Company's
assets at the end of the period.
Equity per share, SEK Calculated as equity divided by the number
of shares outstanding at the end of the
period.
This key performance indicator illustrates the
Company's net worth per share.
Sales growth, % Calculated as the difference between net
sales for the period and net sales for the
preceding period, divided by net sales for
the preceding period.
This key performance indicator illustrates the
Company's growth and historical
performance, contributing to an
understanding of the Company's development.
Operating margin, % Calculated as operating income divided by
net sales.
This key performance indicator illustrates
how much of the Company's profit/loss is
generated by its operating activities.
Equity/assets ratio, % Calculated as equity divided by total assets. This key performance indicator illustrates the
Company's financial position and long-term
payment ability.
Dividend per share, SEK Dividend per share approved by a General
Meeting at which the Annual Report for the
specified financial year is adopted.
Earnings per share before
dilution, SEK
Calculated as profit/loss attributable to the
Parent Company's shareholders divided by
the weighted average number of shares
outstanding in the period.
This key performance indicator illustrates the
Company's earnings per share, excluding any
dilution effect from outstanding convertibles.
Earnings per share after
dilution, SEK
To calculate earnings per share after
dilution, the weighted average number of
outstanding shares is adjusted for the
dilution effect of all potential shares. The
Parent Company has a category of potential
common shares with a dilution effect:
convertible debentures. The convertible
debentures are assumed to have been
converted into shares and net profit is
adjusted to eliminate interest expenses less
tax effect. Convertible debentures do not
give rise to a dilution effect when the
interest per share that may be received
upon conversion exceeds earnings per share
before dilution.
This key performance indicator illustrates the
Company's earnings per share, excluding any
dilution effect from outstanding convertibles.
