THE GROUP

SALES

Sales in the quarter were SEK 203.1 (201.2) million, but increased in the first half year to SEK 390.9 (364.0) million. In local currencies this means a decrease of 1 and 5 per cent respectively.

PROFIT

The operating profit for the quarter was SEK 8.2 (17.3) million and during the first half year amounted to SEK 15.2 (25.3) million, which means an operating margin of 4.0 (8.6) and 3.9 (7.0) per cent respectively.

CASH FLOW

The free cash flow was SEK –33.6 (–16.9) million in the quarter and SEK –74.0 (–7.0) million in the first half year. The negative cash flow is mainly due to increased working capital credit due to build-up of work in progress related to customer projects in Fuel and Materials Technology.

INVESTMENTS

Investments decreased to SEK 5.9 (12.4) million in the quarter and to SEK 15.9 (22.3) million in the first half year.

FINANCIAL POSITION AND LIQUIDITY

The Group's cash and cash equivalents at the end of the first half year amounted to SEK 64.3 (86.9) million and the unutilized portion of the overdraft facility was SEK 39.0 (24.0) million. At the close of the first half year the net debt was SEK 39.6 million, compared to SEK 34.6 million in the previous year. The net debt/equity ratio at the close of the quarter was 9.9 (10.6) per cent and the equity-assets ratio was 41.0 (39.9) per cent.

PERSONNEL

The average number of employees at the close of the second quarter was 538 (516). The increase is mainly attributable to Fuel and Materials Technology.

STUDSVIK'S BUSINESS WITH RUSSIA

The business refers to civil nuclear power and mainly consists of testing of material in Studsvik's facilities. We also manufacture radiation sources that are used to fight cancer around the world, based on irradiated material from Russian companies. Business with Russian companies is mainly within Fuel and Materials Technology and is currently on hold

Free cash flow

BUSINESS AREAS

DECOMMISSIONING AND RADIATION PROTECTION SERVICES

Sales in the quarter were SEK 86.2 (96.0) million and in the first half year SEK 149.5 (164.8) million, a decrease in local currencies of 13 and 12 per cent respectively. The decrease is mainly due to lower demand for refueling and maintenance services.

The operating profit for the quarter was SEK 9.1 (11.7) million and SEK 5.2 (18.1) million for the first half year. During the quarter refueling and maintenance services were carried out and capacity utilization increased, though not as much as in 2021. The deterioration compared to the previous year is also due to increased non-recurring costs. Somewhat reduced refueling and maintenance services are also expected for the third quarter compared to the previous year.

FUEL AND MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY

Sales in the quarter increased to SEK 84.7 (78.1) million and in the first half year to SEK 168.6 (142.8) million. In local currencies this was an increase of 8 and 18 per cent respectively.

The operating profit for the quarter was SEK 10.8 (11.9) million and SEK 25.2 (18.4) million for the first half year. The operating margin was 12.8 (15.2) and 14.9 (12.9) per cent respectively.

Increased capacity in production facilities and the large backlog of orders have contributed to increased sales. A re-prioritization of the order backlog has been made to replace Russian projects on hold.

SCANDPOWER

Sales in the quarter increased to SEK 23.8 (19.8) million and in the first half year to SEK 53.2 (45.9) million, which means an increase in local currencies of 11 and 9 per cent respectively.

The operating profit for the quarter was SEK –4.8 (–4.2) million and SEK –2.8 (–2.0) million for the first half year. Sales of licenses were limited.

A cooperation agreement with the VTT Technical Research Center of Finland was signed for software adapted for modeling of new advanced reactors.

WASTE MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY

Sales in the quarter increased to SEK 11.2.(8,5) million and to SEK 24.6 (16.5) million in the first half year, with an operating profit of SEK –3.8 (0.1) million for the quarter and SEK –6.5 (–1.5) million for the first half year.

Sales in the quarter consist mainly of advisory services on waste treatment, which gives lower margins compared with license business and associated engineering services. The previous year's profit included a profit share of SEK 3.8 million, according to the agreement with UK Nuclear Waste Management (LLWR), which expired in 2021.

PARENT COMPANY

Operations in the parent company consist of coordination of the Group. Sales in the quarter amounted to SEK 4.2 (2.7) million and SEK 7.5 (5.3) million in the first half year. The operating profit for the quarter amounted to SEK –3.3 (–3.4) million and to SEK –6.2 (–6.5) million for the first half year.

The pre-tax profit for the quarter was SEK 17.1 (-6.0) million and SEK 18.1 (0.1) million for the first half year. Net financial income includes revaluation of intra-group loans by SEK 11.0 (–3.6) million for the quarter and by SEK 14.0 (4.5) million for the half year and a dividend of SEK 8.2 (–) million from subsidiaries. At the close of the quarter, cash and cash equivalents, including current investments, amounted to SEK 0 (0) million and interest-bearing liabilities to SEK 103.9 (121.5) million.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

An overall analysis of the Group's risks and how they are dealt with is given in the Annual Report, which is available on the company's website.

DEFINITIONS OF KEY FIGURES AND RATIOS

Some key figures and ratios used by company management and analysts to assess the Group's development have not been prepared in accordance with IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards). As not all companies calculate financial measures in the same way, they are not always comparable with measures used by other companies and must therefore not be seen as a substitute for the measures defined under IFRS. The company management considers that these key figures and ratios make it easier for investors to analyze the Group's development.
