CEO'S COMMENT

q

We started the first quarter of 2022 with optimism, as restrictions from the covid pandemic gradually were lifted in most parts of the world. We ended the quarter more concerned, as the geopolitical situation rapidly turned challenging with a war in Europe.

Despite this, our business performance has been strong, and the first quarter of 2022 marked the fifth consecutive quarter with double-digit growth in orders, reflecting a continued broadbased strength in underlying demand and a solid execution of our shift to growth strategy. Order intake grew by 30% year on year, of which organic order growth was 13%. Sales grew 27%, of which organic sales growth was 9%. Adjusted operating profit margin was 20.2% (21.4). We also took an important step towards the separation of Sandvik Materials Technology with the Board's proposal set forth to the Annual General Meeting, a further proof-point of delivering on our priorities with the aim to increase long-term shareholder value.

Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions saw continued strong demand and recorded four major orders valued at SEK 1.3 Bn. Order intake grew by 45% year on year, with the aftermarketand consumables businesses on record levels, and continued all-time high levels for our major equipment divisions. While continuing to navigate in a challenging supply chain environment, we successfully delivered on the strong backlog. Sales grew by 42%, of which organic sales contributed with 13%. In line with our strategic priority to drive automation and electrification, we further expanded our battery-electric (BEV) offering by introducing the largest-capacity BEV truck for underground; engineered to improve productivity, sustainability and cost efficiency in bulk mining operations.

Demand for Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions remained solid in the quarter with organic order intake growth of 1% on tough comparables. Organic revenues grew by 5%, driven by aftermarket, yet supply chain issues and the lockdown in China had a restraining effect. During the quarter we expanded our aftermarket offering within mobile crushers, introducing the half hammer with significant sustainability and productivity benefits.

Demand within Sandvik Manufacturing and Machining Solutions continued on a positive trajectory driven by North America and Europe. While the automotive segment remained hampered, general engineering and aerospace showed double-digit growth and organic order intake was up 6%. I am also pleased to see that our acquisitions are delivering well in line with expectations and growth in order intake was a strong 19%, with many new CAM licenses delivered from Sandvik Manufacturing Solutions.

Sandvik Materials Technology, which from now on is reported as discontinued operations, continued to see a robust demand across regions and segments, with particularly strong performance in Tube which recorded SEK 1.3 Bn of major orders in the important energy segment. Order intake grew by 45% and revenue by 15%.

It is of course impossible to not also address the war in Ukraine, which is leading to incomprehensible humanitarian consequences. In this situation, our priority has been to ensure the safety of our employees, and it has been good to see the strong engagement across the organization to assist in our efforts. On February 28th we paused our business activities in Russia to assess the very complex and rapidly changing regulatory landscape, and we are continuing to assess how to act in the most responsible way.

We have delivered another strong growth-quarter, gained customer traction with our new digital and sustainable solutions, and despite the inflationary pressure, against which we are taking mitigating actions, continued to show resilience in earnings. The war will have consequences on many levels, and the impact on the macro-economic environment is today hard to predict. However, with our decentralized set-up, strong leadership culture and market leading positions, we will adapt to the market changes, and just like we have proven in the past years, remain agile.

Change compared to same quarter last year. The table is multiplicative.

Solid contribution from acquisitions and broad-based strong underlying demand resulted in a total order intake growth of 37%, and 30% at fixed exchange rates, of which 13% was organic. . Total revenue growth was 35% year on year, and at fixed exchange rates growth was 27%, of which 9% organic.

The demand within mining remained high, and the typical seasonal pattern of high construction orders was noted also in the first quarter of 2022. Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions (SMR) recorded organic order intake growth of 22% whilst growth in Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions (SRP) was moderate 1%, owing to effects of catch-up in maintenance in the year earlier period. Contribution from acquisitions led to an order intake growth for SMR and SRP of 45% and 4%, respectively. The strained supply chain situation remained in the quarter, particularly connected to component supply and delays in freight due to for example Covid lockdowns in Asia. Organic revenue for SMR and SRP increased by 13% and 5%, respectively.

The positive momentum within Sandvik Manufacturing and Machining Solutions continued, driven by North America and Europe and with general engineering and aerospace improving sequentially as well as year on year. While automotive was down year on year, with semiconductor shortages in the industry having an impact on the general demand picture, it improved sequentially. Both organic order intake and revenue grew by 6% with negative impact from Russia. Order intake and revenues grew by 19% and 18%, respectively, with underlying good momentum in the demand within acquired companies. Especially notable was the demand for new CAM licenses.

Continued solid regional demand was noted in the quarter, with especially strong order intake growth from North America and Australia. Demand in Asia was up year on year. Changed exchange rates had a positive impact of 7% on both order intake and revenues.

EARNINGS

The Group's adjusted gross profit amounted to SEK 10,518 million (8,232), corresponding to a margin of SEK 42.2 % (44.4). Higher volumes were negatively offset by increased freight costs and cost inflation not fully mitigated by pricing. Positive business momentum led to increased activity and higher sales and administration costs, which increased to SEK 5, 918 million (4,395). The overall ratio to revenues remained stable at 23.7% (23.7). Adjusted EBITA increased by 27% to SEK 5,043 million (3,960) corresponding to a margin of 20.2% (21.4). Dilution from structure was -110 bps, offset by currency which had an accretive impact of 130 bps. The impact from transaction and translation exchange rates was positive SEK 561 million year on year. Items affecting comparability amounted to net of SEK 1 million, of which total M&A transaction costs were SEK 112 million (44).

The interest net increased slightly to SEK -74 million (-71) due to higher interest on currency hedges. Net financial items amounted to SEK -299 million (-267), with negative impact from temporary revaluation effects on currency hedges.

The tax rate, excluding items affecting comparability, for continuing operations was 23.2% (21.7). The lower tax rate in the year earlier period is explained by an accounting correction. The reported tax rate for continuing operations was 23.4% (21.0).

Profit for the period amounted to SEK 3,395 million (2,885), corresponding to earnings per share, diluted, of SEK 2.70 (2.29) and adjusted earnings per share, diluted of SEK 2.71 (2.24). Adjusted earnings per share, diluted, excluding surplus values, amounted to SEK 2.92 (2.30).

BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW

To facilitate underlying capital employed and free operating cash flow analysis, the comparative period has been adjusted to exclude SMT for the following KPIs: Capital employed, return on capital employed, net working capital and free operating cash flow, also applicable to the full time period in the graphs. For further details on development without adjusting for SMT in comparative period, see page 24.

Capital employed, increased year on year SEK 111.6 billion (83.3), mainly as a consequence of our shift to growth strategy with increased acquisitions, majority being consolidated in the second half year of 2021. Sequentially, capital employed increased (106.2) as a result of higher working capital and impact from changed exchange rates. Return on capital employed declined year on year to 17.9% (19.7) and sequentially (20.4).

High demand and consequently strong order backlogs have led to build-up of working capital both year on year, SEK 25.5 billion (18.5) and sequentially (22.2), mainly driven by higher inventories. Global supply chain challenges have to a certain extent, also had an impact on higher inventory levels. Net working capital in relation to revenues 24.0% (23.8) was stable year on year and increased compared to the fourth quarter (21.4).

Investments in tangible and intangible assets increased slightly compared with the preceding year and amounted to SEK 0.8 billion (0.7), corresponding to 87% of scheduled depreciations.

The financial net debt of SEK 16.5 billion (-10.7) increased mainly due to higher level of interest-bearing liabilities which amounted to SEK 31.8 billion (12.4) and was stable sequentially (30.4). During the quarter, additional SEK 0.5 billion in commercial papers and two 3-year bonds, totaling SEK 2 billion, were issued, while one bond of EUR 0.2 billion matured. The net pension liability decreased year on year to SEK 5.6 billion (6.5) and sequentially (6.1), due to higher discount rates. Total net debt increased to SEK 26.4 billion (-1.2) and decreased sequentially (26.9). The net debt to equity ratio was 0.31 (-0.02), lower than the fourth quarter (0.35).

Free operating cash flow decreased year on year to SEK 2.3 billion (2.8), a consequence of strong growth, with higher earnings offset by the build-up of net working capital.

SHIFTING TO A MORE SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS GROUP TOTAL

DECREASED INJURY RATE IN THE QUARTER

UNFAVOURABLE DEVELOPMENT OF GHG EMISSIONS

NEW KEY METRIC ON WASTE IN-TRODUCED

The injury rates decreased compared to same period in the preceding year. Total greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) increased by 1.9% compared to the same quarter in the previous year, colder than normal weather in the Northern Hemisphere resulted in higher demand for heating during the quarter. Progress was made in the preparation of targets that are to be validated by the Science Based Target initiative. A new key metric was introduced, Waste Circularity, which measure reused and recycled waste against total waste. The 2030 target for Waste Circularity is 90%.

First quarter 2022

• TRIFR developed favorably, a decrease of 4.7%, from 3.5 in the preceding year to 3.3
• LTIFR decreased by 5.8% to 1.5 (1.6) compared to the same period last year
• Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) increased by 1.9% compared to the same period in the preceding year mainly due to increased demand for heating in the Northern Hemisphere
• The share of circular waste amounted to 65% (75) in the quarter. Increased awareness of waste circularity praxis and the implementation of the waste data reporting, has improved quality of reported numbers since the beginning of 2021, reflected partly in a lower percentage compared to the previous year
• Share of female managers had a continued positive development and at the end of the quarter the ratio was 19.7% (18.6), corresponding to a 5.9% improvement year on year

Case of the quarter

Sandvik's division Seco Tools has already well-established methods for life-cycle analysis of its own products and production processes. The next step is to offer customers help to reduce their carbon footprint, which will be done by developing software and data models that will enable customers to optimize the use of Seco's products and thereby reduce their climate impact. By taking the full life-cycle of a tool, including energy consumption and the use of coolant, into the customers' production processes, the customer can optimize their processes and reduce their climate impact by taking the right choices, use the correct cutting data, and avoid suboptimizations when producing individual parts. Calculations show that customers can reduce their carbon footprint by at least 20%. Seco Tools' software can also be used to simulate various production processes and test different alternatives for producing an item. This enables the customer to assess if the machine or a tool is used to its full potential during a particular production process or to decide on a better available option to minimize the carbon footprint.

OTHER EVENTS

SANDVIK'S INVESTIGATION REGARDING SALES TO COMPA-NIES IN RUSSIA'S MILITARY INDUSTRY

Towards the end of the quarter, following media reports focusing on past sales to companies in Russia's military industry, Sandvik initiated an investigation supported by external legal advisors.

The investigation has focused on companies mentioned by the media, as well as a review of several similar companies in Russian public procurement registers. A large number of transactions since 2014 have been reviewed.

In the investigation we have not identified any violations of sanctions. Before 2018 we have identified cases lacking adherence to our internal policies, processes, and controls, regarding required documentation confirming civil product end-use. This mainly relates to the metal-cutting tools business, high-volume consumables sold by our divisions within Sandvik Machining Solutions. Consequently, given the insufficient documentation, we can in these cases not rule out that we may have failed to live up to an obligation to notify the relevant EU export control authority. After 2018, as our trade compliance program was reinforced for Russia, we see a clearly improved adherence.

Sandvik shall always comply with applicable rules and regulations and will continue to assess the results of the investigation, co-operate with relevant authorities, and take necessary measures to strengthen the compliance processes further.

financial outcome is provided in the table below:

CAPEX (CASH)	Estimated at SEK <5.0 billion for 2022.
CURRENCY EFFECTS	Based on currency rates at the end of March 2022, it is estimated that transaction and translation currency effects will have an impact of about SEK +600 million on EBITA for the second quarter of 2022, compared with the year-earlier period (of which SEK +50 million is estimated to be attributable to Sandvik Materials Technology).
INTEREST NET	Estimated at SEK <-0.4 billion in 2022.
TAX RATE	Estimated at 22% - 24% for 2022, normalized.
METAL PRICE EFFECTS	In view of currency rates, inventory levels and metal prices at the end of March 2022, it is estimated that there will be an impact of about SEK +700 million on EBITA in Sandvik Materials Technology for the second quarter of 2022.

Sandvik has four long-term financial targets, defined in 2019:

GROWTH

A growth of at least 5% through a business cycle.

TROUGH EBIT MARGIN

A trough EBIT margin of at least 16% rolling 12 months, adjusted for IAC and metal prices.

DIVIDEND PAYOUT RATIO

A dividend payout ratio of 50% of EPS, adjusted for IAC, through a business cycle.

NET DEBT/EQUITY RATIO

A net debt/equity ratio below 0.5.

The 2030 sustainability targets focus on the areas of circularity, climate, people and ethics. These targets are reported on a quarterly basis and can be found on page 10.

Sandvik is currently assessing the conditions that apply to our Russian entities, and closely monitoring and evaluating the direct and indirect financial effects of the war. There were no material financial effects on the balance sheet in the first quarter. Total assets, excluding cash, related to Russia amounted to approximately SEK 1.5 billion on March 31, 2022

RISK ASSESSMENT

As an international group with a wide geographic spread, Sandvik is exposed to several strategic, business and financial risks. Strategic risk at Sandvik is defined as emerging risks affecting the business long-term, such as industry shifts, technological shifts and macroeconomic developments. The business risks can be divided into operational, sustainability, compliance, legal and commercial risks. The financial risks include currency risks, interest rates, raw material prices, tax risks and more. These risk areas can all impact the business negatively both long and short-term but often also create business opportunities if managed well. Risk management at Sandvik begins with an assessment in operational management teams where the material risks for their operations are first identified, followed by an evaluation of the probability of the risks occurring and their potential impact on the Group. Once the key risks have been identified and evaluated risk mitigating activities to eliminate or reduce the risks are agreed on. For a more detailed description of Sandvik's analysis of risks and risk universe, see the Annual Report for 2021.

Risks related to current geo-political situation

The war in Ukraine imposes various risks to Sandvik. On a short-term basis, the risks are related to impact on balance sheet and earnings, linked foremost to direct and indirect exposure to Russia and Ukraine. The longer-term consequences of the war entails macro-economic risks such as trade imbalances, supply chain disturbances and inflationary pressure.

DEFINITIONS OF ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES

Sandvik presents below definitions of certain financial measures that are not defined in the interim report in accordance with IFRS. Sandvik believes that these measures have an important purpose of providing useful supplemental information to investors and the company's management when they allow evaluation of trends and the company's performance. As not all companies calculate the financial measures in the same way, these are not always comparable to measures used by other companies. These financial measures should not be seen as a substitute for measures defined under IFRS.

ADJUSTED PROFIT BEFORE TAX

Profit before tax adjusted from items affecting comparability.

CAPITAL EMPLOYED

Capital employed is defined as total net working capital plus tangible and intangible assets, including those classified as asset held for sale, other current assets (incl. cash and cash equivalents) less other current liabilities.

EQUITY RATIO

Total equity in relation to total capital.

FREE OPERATING CASH FLOW

Earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation adjusted for non-cash items and adjusted for cash items related to acquisitions not considered operational plus the change in net working capital minus investments and disposals of rental equipment and tangible and intangible assets.

ITEMS AFFECTING COMPARABILITY (IAC)

Sandvik reports EBITA, EBIT, profit before tax and earnings per share adjusted for items affecting comparability. IAC includes capital gains and losses from divestments and larger restructuring initiatives, impairments, capital gains and losses from divestments of financial assets, M&A related costs as well as other material items having a significant impact on the comparability.

NET DEBT

Interest-bearing current and non-current liabilities, including net pension liabilities and leases, less cash and cash equivalents.

NET DEBT TO EQUITY RATIO

Interest-bearing current and non-current liabilities, including net pension liabilities and leases, less cash and cash equivalents divided by total equity.

NET WORKING CAPITAL (NWC)

Total of inventories, trade receivables, account payables and other current non-interest-bearing receivables and liabilities, including those classified as assets and liabilities held for sale/distribution, but excluding tax assets and liabilities and provisions.

ORDER INTAKE

Order intake for a period refers to the value of all orders received for immediate delivery and those orders for future delivery for which delivery dates and quantities have been confirmed. General sales agreements are included only when they have been finally agreed upon and confirmed. Service contracts are included in the order intake with the full binding contract amount upon signing.

ORGANIC GROWTH

Change in order intake and revenues after adjustments for exchange rate effects and structural changes such as divestments and acquisitions. Sandvik generates the majority of its revenues in currencies other than in the reporting currency (i.e. SEK, Swedish Krona). Organic growth is used to analyze the underlying sales performance in the Group.

RETURN ON CAPITAL EMPLOYED (ROCE)

Earnings before interest and taxes plus financial income, as a percentage of a four quarter average capital employed.
