THE GROUP

SALES

Sales in the first quarter increased to SEK 187.8 (162.8) million. In local currencies this was an increase of 13 per cent.

PROFIT

The operating profit for the first quarter was SEK 7.0 (8.0) million, with an operating margin of 3.7 (4.9) per cent

CASH FLOW

The free cash flow in the first quarter was SEK –40.4 (9.9) million. Negative free cash flow can be explained by increased tied-up in working capital mainly due to build-up of work in progress related to customer projects within Fuel and Materials Technology.

INVESTMENTS

Investments in the first quarter were SEK 10.0 (9.9) million and mainly related to Fuel and Materials Technology.

FINANCIAL POSITION AND LIQUIDITY

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 67.9 (83.1) million and the unutilized portion of the overdraft facility was SEK 87.0 (45.4) million. At the close of the first quarter the Group had a net cash balance of SEK 10.3 million compared with a net debt of SEK 17.5 million in the previous year. The net debt/equity ratio at the close of the quarter was -2.6 (5.3) per cent and the equity-assets ratio was 42.3 (42.5) per cent.

PERSONNEL

The average number of employees at the close of the first quarter was 540 (508). The increase mainly strengthens competencies in expanding service areas in Fuel and Materials Technology.

STUDSVIK'S BUSINESS WITH RUSSIA

The service and product offer is primarily an important part of the work of ensuring sustainable and safe civil nuclear power, even in the most critical international situations, and mainly entails materials testing at Studsvik's facilities. We also manufacture radiation sources that are used to fight cancer around the world. The business with Russian companies is mainly in Fuel and Materials Technology and includes both the above-mentioned areas.

Free cash flow

Q1 - 21 Q2 - 21 Q3 - 21 Q4 - 21 Q1 - 22

BUSINESS AREAS

DECOMMISSIONING AND RADIATION PROTECTION SERVICES

Sales in the first quarter decreased by 11 per cent in local currencies to SEK 63.3 (68.8) million. Operating profit for the quarter deteriorated to SEK –3.9 (6.5) million. The deterioration is mainly due

to higher sickness absence and the fact that the first quarter of 2021 had high revenues from decommissioning projects. In coming quarters refueling and maintenance initiatives will start, and capacity utilization is expected to increase.

FUEL AND MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY

Sales in the first quarter increased by 30 per cent to SEK 83.9 (64.7) million.

The operating profit for the quarter improved to SEK 14.4 (6.5) million and the operating margin to 17.1 (10.1) per cent.

The increased sales are due to a strong order book and increased capacity in the production facilities. A reprioritization in the order book is now being made to meet the situation that arose after business with the Russian company TVEL was put on hold. In the same period of the previous year maintenance work was carried out that restricted capacity in the facility.

SCANDPOWER

Sales in the first quarter increased by 7 per cent in local currencies to SEK 29.4 (26.1) million.

The operating profit for the quarter was SEK 2.0 (2.2) million, which means an operating margin of 6.8 (8.4) per cent.

The business area has strengthened its sales resources and resources for future initiatives, which has impacted the operating profit.

At the end of the quarter a cooperation agreement was signed for AI (artificial intelligence) for optimization of operation and loading of fuel to broaden the range of services offered for boiling water reactors.

WASTE MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY

Sales in the first quarter increased to SEK 13.4 (8.0) million with an operating profit of SEK –2.7 (–1.6) million.

The sales growth consists mainly of advisory services on waste treatment, which give lower margins compared with license business and associated engineering services.

A number of commercial discussions are ongoing for conceptual design studies and test programs for our waste technologies.

PARENT COMPANY

Operations in the parent company consist of coordination of the Group. Sales in the first quarter were SEK 3.3 (2.6) million. The operating profit for the first quarter amounted to SEK –2.9 (–3.1) million.

The pre-tax profit was SEK 1.0 (6.1) million. The net financial income includes revaluation of intra-group loans of SEK 3.2 (8.1) million. 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 57.6 (98.6) 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.

Equity

Average equity has been calculated as an average of the four last quarters.

Equity per share

Equity divided by the number of shares at the end of the period.

Free cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities (after changes in working capital) including cash flow from investing activities.

Sales revenue per employee

Sales revenue divided by average number of employees. For quarterly reports net sales are estimated on a full year basis.

Investments

Total of the acquisition of businesses/subsidiaries and acquisition of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment.

Average number of employees

Average number of employees at the end of each month.

Net debt

Total long-term and short-term borrowing less cash and cash equivalents.

Net debt/equity ratio

Interest-bearing net debt divided by equity including non-controlling interests.

Earnings per share

Profit/loss for the year divided by the average number of shares. The average number of shares has been calculated as a weighted average of all shares in issue for the year.

Return on equity
