Continued good growth and profit

Systemair second quarter shows continued good growth where sales increased by 26.3 percent and adjusted operating profit improved by 19 percent to SEK 297 million (250). During the quarter, an impairment of the Russian operations were done totalling SEK 168 million. In addition, the Turkish business applied hyperinflation adjustments, with a negative impact of SEK 9 million on operating profit. Sales during the quarter exceeded SEK 3 billion for the first time.

The market

Sales in the second quarter remained strong, with organic growth of 14.8 percent (9.1) as we regard as a sign of strength. Most regions report good organic growth, the exceptions being Eastern Europe and North America. In Eastern Europe, Russia is the main factor, while in North America, continued disruptions in component supply have been causing delivery delays.

Long-term investments

Systemair's balance sheet remains strong, creating scope for further investments and acquisitions. Longterm strategic investments in buildings and production equipment are in progress in Europe and North America to meet the rising demand.

Divestment of the air conditioning business

In November, Systemair entered into an agreement with Panasonic to divest Systemair's air conditioning business for an enterprise value of EUR 100 million on a cash and debt-free basis. The intention is to sell all shares in the Italian companies Systemair S.r.l. and Tecnair S.p.A. and the French company Systemair AC SAS. The deal also includes a part of the German sales organisation that is focused on air conditioning. The divestment will allow us to focus on our core ventilation business, which is in line with our strategy.

Sustainability

We are continuing to systematically advance our sustainability work in all areas of the business. For the first time this quarter, we are reporting quarterly progress in three priority areas; work-related injuries involving sickness absence, proportion of female leaders and Scopes 1 and 2 emissions. We note that the trend in the key indicators is positive and many activities are under way that will lead to long-term results in the area of sustainability.

Energy conservation and energy efficiency are at the centre of product development at Systemair. EU initiatives, such as the European Green Deal and Renovation Wave, will support robust long-term demand for energy-efficient ventilation products in the renovation market.

Outlook favourable

Despite continued supply chain challenges, Systemair continues to report strong sales growth and an improved operating profit.

Order intake remains buoyant and our order backlog strong. With our 29 well-invested production facilities in 20 countries and the most comprehensive product range on the market we are the largest supplier of ventilation products in Europe.

Net sales for the period under review, May–October 2022, totalled SEK 5,885.6 million (4,694.7), which was 25.4 percent higher than in the same period last year.

Tax expense

Estimated tax for the quarter totalled SEK -70.1 million (-55.8), representing an effective tax rate of 24.3 percent (26.6) based on adjusted profit after financial items. The lower tax charge is a result of the revaluation of tax loss carry-forwards in previously loss-making entities.

Estimated tax for the period under review totalled SEK -118.8 million (-105.3), representing an effective tax rate of 21.4 percent (25.3) based on profit after net financial items.

Acquisitions and new businesses

On 14 June 2022, Systemair acquired all shares in the Italian company SagiCofim S.p.A. The company is a major supplier with extensive experience in filtration and air distribution. The company's wholly-owned production facility in Cernusco sul Naviglio, Milan, manufactures high-efficiency HEPA and ULPA class air filters. At Sondrio, the company owns 50 percent of EFFEBI SRL, which manufactures air distribution products. The Italian market accounts for about 75 percent of the companies' sales, with the remainder being exported mainly within Europe. The companies' consolidated sales in 2021 totalled approximately EUR 36 million with an EBITDA profit of EUR 4.0 million. The companies have about 200 employees. The purchase price agreed is EUR 33.6 million on a debt-free basis.

If the companies acquired had been consolidated as of 1 May 2022, net sales for the period under review, May to October 2022, inclusive, would have totalled approximately SEK 5,898.3 million. Operating profit for that period would have totalled approximately SEK 401.7 million. For more information regarding

acquisitions and their impact on the Group's cash and cash equivalents, see Note 3 in this interim report.

Investments, depreciation and amortisation

Investments for the quarter, net of disposals, totalled SEK 96.9 million (129.8), including SEK 69.3 million (116.6) in new construction and machinery. The investments pertain above all to production facilities in the Czech Republic, Turkey and Slovenia. Acquisitions of subsidiaries and formerly withheld purchase considerations totalled SEK 0.7 million (12.9). Depreciation, amortisation and impairment of noncurrent assets amounted to SEK 273.5 million (91.0), mainly in connection with goodwill and property, plant and equipment in Russia.

Total investments for the period under review amounted to SEK 510.1 million (238.8), excluding divestments. Gross investments in new construction and machinery totalled SEK 160.9 million (197.3), net of disposals. Acquisitions and formerly withheld purchase considerations totalled SEK 320.4 million (33.8). Depreciation, amortisation and impairment of noncurrent assets amounted to SEK 376.7 million (181.0).

Personnel

The average number of employees in the Group was 6,471 (6,164). At the end of the period, Systemair had 6,889 employees (6,545), 344 more than one year previous. Acquired companies added a total of 200 employees. New personnel were hired in India (73), the Czech Republic (71), Canada (49), Sweden (35), Lithuania (28) and Slovenia (24).

Large order for Shepperton Studios, UK

Shepperton Studios, part of Pinewood Group, is located near Heathrow Airport and are behind some of the world's bestloved films and TV shows. In the future, 80 Geniox AHUs will be providing fresh air for the facilities. The units will be delivered in batches, and delivery has already begun. The delivery is planned to be finished during Q1 2023. The Geniox units for the project are delivered from the Danish Systemair factory, and the project also includes other equipment from Systemair.

Cash flow and financial position

Cash flow from operating activities, before changes in working capital during the quarter, totalled SEK 275.1 million (309.2). Changes in working capital, mainly consisting of increased inventories and trade accounts receivable, had an impact of SEK -72.0 million (-227.7) on cash flow. The increase is explained by higher purchase prices for components and increased safety stocks due to current component shortages. Cash flow from financing activities totalled SEK -114.3 million net (+56.8). At the end of the period, net indebtedness was SEK 2,793.5 million (1,748.2). The consolidated equity/assets ratio was 43.8 percent (45.9) at the end of the period.

Warrants

On 25 August 2022, the Annual General Meeting of Systemair AB approved the issue of warrants within the framework of the LTIP 2022 incentive programme. During the period under review, Systemair AB issued a total of 333,500 warrants for Systemair shares to senior executives of the Company. Transfer of the warrants to the participants will be effected at a price corresponding to their market value according to an external independent valuation via an accepted valuation model (Black-Scholes). In the first stage of the programme, each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one new share in the Company at a price of SEK 58.30. The programme runs for four years from 24 September 2022 and the last day for share subscription is 30 September 2026. In 2021, 591,000 warrants were also issued to senior executives under the LTIP 2021 programme.

Financial targets

Systemair has the following financial targets.

  • Average annual growth in sales over a business cycle should be no less than 10 percent.
  • The average operating margin over a business cycle should be no less than 10 percent.
  • The Group's equity/assets ratio should be no less than 30 percent.
  • The dividend should be approximately 40 percent of profit after tax.

Sustainability work

Sustainability issues have long been a central and natural part of Systemair. The importance of good indoor air quality is increasing and society depends on healthy and good air through energy- and resource-efficient solutions for ventilation, heating and cooling. Our

solutions play an important part in our commitment to contribute to a more sustainable planet.

Sustainability is an important part of our strategy and an integral part of our business. Our sustainability framework focuses on four areas that contribute to progress in ten of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Sustainability reporting

Systemair reports annually on its sustainability work in the Company's Annual Report. In order to improve governance and monitoring, and to increase transparency, Systemair has begun to compile selected quarterly sustainability data. The new quarterly reporting started during Systemair's second quarter and the summary below covers the August–October 2022 period.

Work-related injuries leading to sickness absence

Systemair has a zero vision for work-related injuries, especially those leading to sickness absence. The LTIFR (Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate) is the number of work-related injuries with sickness absence per 1 million hours worked. This key performance measure is on a downward trend, but the rate of improvement is not sufficient and Systemair is striving ceaselessly to improve workplace safety.

Work-related injuries with sickness absence, LTIFR

Female leaders

Increasing the proportion of female leaders is a strategic goal and the aim is that by 2025 at least 25 percent of Systemair's leaders will be women. A leader is defined as a person who is a member of a local management team and/or has directly reporting employees. The proportion of female leaders is slowly moving in the right direction and Systemair is working to create the conditions for continued improvement in this area.

Percentage of female leaders

Scopes 1 and 2 emissions (CO2e)

Systemair has set a target to halve its emissions intensity by 2030, with 2019/20 as the base year. Emission intensity is the total of Scope 1 and 2 emissions per Cost of Goods Sold (COGS). Emission intensity has decreased as a result of both lower heating demand in the August–October period and a higher Cost of Goods Sold due to inflation and price increases.

Emissions intensity Scopes 1 & 2 (Ton CO2e/SEK m. COGS)

Events after the close of the period

In November 2022, Systemair entered into an agreement with Panasonic Corporation's Heating & Ventilation A/C Company to divest Systemair's air conditioning business for an enterprise value of EUR 100 million on a cash and debt-free basis.

The agreement comprises all shares in Systemair S.r.l. and Tecnair S.p.A. in Italy, Systemair AC SAS in France and employees of the air conditioning business of Systemair GmbH in Germany. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals, consultations required under labour law and other standard closing conditions, which are expected to be finalised in the first half of 2023.

Sales for the air conditioning business in the rolling twelve-month period of 1 August 2021–31 July 2022,

amounted to EUR 69 million with a profit margin below Systemair AB's average profit margin. Systemair's air conditioning business has approximately 400 full-time employees.

The agreement has resulted in Systemair reporting Assets held for sale of SEK 832.9 million and Liabilities attributable to assets held for sale of SEK 227.5 million.

Exposure to Russia, Ukraine and Belarus

During the quarter, an impairment of goodwill and tangible fixed assets regarding the Russian operations was made for a total of SEK 168.2 million. At the end of the period under review, 221 people were employed in the countries concerned. Systemair's sales in the region represent 1.8 percent of the Group's total sales in the period under review. In Russia, we have 12 local sales offices with associated warehouses. In Moscow, the Group has a production plant with associated land, which after impairment has a book value of SEK 80.1 million. Goodwill is amortised in full. Working capital, mainly in inventories and cash, totals SEK 136.7 million. The Company's costs have been adjusted to the declining sales volume on an ongoing basis.

Hyperinflation adjustment in Turkey

Since 30 June 2022, Turkey's economy has been considered to be in hyperinflation. As a result, the financial statements of Systemair's subsidiary in Turkey have been restated to correct for the effects of inflation, in accordance with IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies", with retrospective application from 1 May 2022. This means that:

  • The historical cost of non-monetary assets and liabilities has been adjusted to reflect changes in the purchasing power of the currency. The adjustment has been based on the Consumer Price Index published by the Turkish Statistical Institute.
  • The various income statement items have been index-adjusted for inflation.
  • All elements of the subsidiary's financial statements have been translated at the closing rate. Differences in translation to SEK have been included in Other comprehensive income, in accordance with IAS 21.
  • Figures for financial years beginning before 1 May 2022 have not been changed.

The aggregate impact on the Group's financial statements is shown in Note 1 to this report.

Material risks and uncertainty

Systemair is exposed to operational and financial risks in its business. Operational risks include the international nature of the operations, tough competition and the sensitivity of the construction industry to the business cycle. The financial risks that Systemair has identified in its business consist of foreign exchange risk, borrowing and interest rate risk, as well as credit risk and liquidity risk. The material risks and uncertainties affecting Systemair are described in more detail in the Company's 2021/22 Annual Report.

The situation in Russia and Ukraine is very serious and volatile. There are continuous changes in sanctions, logistics flows and the financial system. Systemair is closely monitoring the situation and assessing the shortand long-term consequences to employees and the business on an ongoing basis.

Related party transactions

There were no material related party transactions during the quarter. Transactions with related parties are described in detail in Note 39 to the accounts in the Annual Report for the 2021/22 financial year.

Parent Company

The Parent Company's net sales for the period under review totalled SEK 90.1 million (73.4). Operating profit was negative, at SEK -74.3 million (-54.6). During the period under review, there has been an impairment of shares in subsidiaries totaling SEK 95.9 million related to the shares in Systemair in Russia. In addition, a reversal of previous impairments has been made regarding the shares in Systemair AC SAS in France and Systemair S.r.l. in Italy for a total of SEK 424.9 million. The Parent Company had 57 employees (64). The core business of the Parent Company consists of intra-Group services.

Auditor's Review Report

Systemair AB (publ), corp.id.no 556160-4108

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) for Systemair AB (Publ) as per 31 October 2022 and the six-month reporting period ending on that date. The preparation and fair presentation of the interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act are the responsibility of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer. Our responsibility is to express our opinion of this interim report based on our review.

Emphasis and scope of the review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements: ISRE 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditors of the Entity". A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. The emphasis and scope of a review differ considerably from that of an audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing Standards (ISA) and other generally accepted auditing practices in Sweden.

The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance to become aware of all significant matters that could have been identified in an audit. As our opinion is based on a review, the level of assurance is not as high as that of an opinion expressed based on an audit.

Opinion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report was not, in all material respects, prepared for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, and, for the Parent Company, in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.

The average price of the share during the period under review was less than the redemption price for the warrants, so no dilution effect has occurred. The total number of shares outstanding at the end of the period under review was 208,000,000.

Note 1 Accounting policies

Systemair applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This interim report was prepared for the Group in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 1 and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2.

The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The Group applies the same accounting policies as described in the 2021/22 Annual Report, with the addition that IAS 29 is applied as below.

No other new or revised standards, interpretations or improvements, as adopted by the EU, have affected the Group in any material way.

IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies"

Since 30 June 2022, Turkey's economy has been considered to be in hyperinflation. As a result, the financial statements of Systemair's subsidiary in Turkey have been restated to adjust for the effects of inflation, in accordance with IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies", with retrospective application from 1 May 2022. This means that:

  • The historical cost of non-monetary assets and liabilities has been adjusted to reflect changes in the purchasing power of the currency. The adjustment has been based on the Consumer Price Index published by the Turkish Statistical Institute.
  • The various income statement items have been index-adjusted for inflation.
  • All items in the subsidiary's financial statements have been translated at the closing rate. Differences in translation to SEK have been included in Other comprehensive income, in accordance with IAS 21.
  • Figures for financial years beginning before 1 May 2022 have not been changed.

The aggregate impact on the Group's financial statements is shown in the table below:

Note 3 Companies acquired

Companies acquired

The purchase consideration for the assets of Sagicofim may provisionally be calculated as follows:

Sagicofim
Total historical cost, less costs of acquisition 383.8
Assets acquired
Fair value of assets acquired, net 303.8
Goodwill 80.0
Identifiable net assets
Brands and customer relationships 107.6
Other intangible assets 2.1
Buildings and land 66.6
Machinery and equipment 10.6
Financial and other non-current assets 11.8
Inventory 58.7
Trade accounts receivable 133.1
Other current assets 15.8
Cash and cash equivalents 28.2
Minority interest -1.5
Non-interest-bearing liabilities -5.9
Deferred tax liability -33.6
Interest-bearing liabilities -4.3
Other operating liabilities -85.4
303.8

The total cash flow impact from acquisitions is SEK -320.5 million. Transactions costs relating to the acquisitions total SEK 3.4 million.

Customer relationships have been stated at the net present value of future cash flows. The useful life of these assets has been estimated at 10 years.

The goodwill upon acquisition is attributable to the strong market position of the companies acquired, synergies expected to arise after the acquisition and the company's estimated future earning capacity.

Net sales for the acquired companies between the time of acquisition and the end of the period under review totalled SEK 161.0 million. Operating profit for the period concerned was SEK 7.2 million. If the companies acquired had been consolidated from 1 May 2022, net sales for the period under review, May to October 2022, inclusive, would have totalled approximately SEK 5,898.3 million. Operating profit for that period would have totalled approximately SEK 401.7 million.

Note 4 Financial instruments

Systemair's financial instruments comprise derivatives, trade accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts payable, accrued supplier costs, interest-bearing liabilities, acquisition options and additional purchase considerations. Liabilities to credit institutions carry variable interest rates or, in certain cases, fixed rates for a short period. Derivatives are measured at fair value via the income statement on the basis of input data corresponding to level 2 as defined in IFRS 13.

Share purchase options and additional purchase considerations are measured on level 3 as defined in IFRS 13. The calculation for the option to acquire the remaining 10 percent of the shares in Systemair HSK, Turkey, is based on the anticipated profit before depreciation/amortisation and tax (EBITDA) for the financial years until 2024/25, plus the increase in value of the land on which the Turkish production facility is situated. Any increase in anticipated profit after tax and any increase in value of the land would result in an increase in the liability relating to the option. No upper limit for the anticipated liability is established in the agreement. Any change in estimated liability is transferred via the Group's equity. For the period under review, May–October 2022, the liability has been revalued upwards by SEK 1.7 million and is now

measured at SEK 23.9 million. The calculation for the option to acquire the remaining 40 percent of the shares in Frico A/S, Denmark, is based on the anticipated operating profit (EBIT) for the 2023/24 and 2024/25 financial years. Any increase in anticipated profit after tax would result in an increase in the liability relating to the option. No upper limit for the anticipated liability is established in the agreement. Any change in estimated liability is transferred via the Group's equity. For the period under review, May–October 2022, the liability has been revalued upwards by SEK 0.2 million and is now measured at SEK 6.0 million. The liability for the purchase options is recognised under Non-current liabilities, non-interestbearing, on the balance sheet.

Other financial assets and liabilities are short-term. For that reason, the fair values of all financial instruments are considered to equate approximately to the carrying amounts. Systemair has not recognised any financial assets and liabilities net.

Note 5 Segment reporting

The Group's operations are classified geographically. Systemair aggregates into two geographical segments of (i) Europe and (ii) Americas, Middle East, Asia, Australia and Africa. The market segment Europe accounts for the major share of Systemair's business. The segment Europe consists of a large number of markets. The legal entities within Europe work with each other in manufacturing and sales. The Company also judges that in every material respect similar economic conditions exist in the region, and so the legal entities within the region have been aggregated. Systemair further considers that accounting for the merged segments of (i) Europe and (ii) Americas, Middle East, Asia, Australia and Africa presents a clearer picture. The Parent Company is accounted for via a separate segment, Group-wide. The subsidiaries are aggregated on the basis of their legal domicile and they are consolidated according to the same principles as for the Group as a whole.

Alternative Performance Measures

In the report, Systemair presents performance measures that supplement the financial ratios defined in IFRS; these are known as alternative performance measures (APMs). The Company is of the view that these APMs provide valuable information to investors and the Company's management, in that they enable evaluation of the Company's performance, trends, capacity to pay down debt and invest in new business opportunities, and that they reflect the Group's acquisition-intensive business model.

Because not all companies calculate key financial performance measures in the same way, these APMs are not always comparable. As a result, they should not be regarded as substitutes for performance measures as defined in IFRS. A number of definitions appear below, the majority of which are alternative performance measures.

For more key performance measures and information on how they are calculated, see Systemair's website at: group.systemair.com/se/investerare/finansiella-data/
