1) Systemair AB has issued 600,000 warrants to persons holding senior positions within the company. 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.
Systemair's financial year began with a strong first quarter. Sales increased by 24.4 percent (9.1). Operating profit improved by 29 percent to SEK 270 million (210). The operating margin was 9.5 percent (9.2). Sales of our products and solutions remains good with organic growth of 14.3 percent (13.3).
The market
Demand in the first quarter remained strong, with organic growth of 14.3 percent. This may be regarded as a very strong performance, since the corresponding quarter last year also showed organic growth, of 13.3 percent. All regions report good growth, with the exception of Eastern Europe, with Russia being the main factor. Further price increases were announced during the quarter in response to rising component and freight prices.
Systemair's balance sheet remains strong, creating the scope for continued investments and acquisitions. Several long-term strategic investments in production equipment are in progress, to meet the rising demand we have encountered.
In June, the acquisition of SagiCofim S.p.A. was completed. The company is a supplier with extensive experience in filtration and air distribution. The Italian market accounts for about 75 percent of sales, with the remainder being exported mainly within Europe. The company's consolidated sales on a yearly basis amount to EUR 36 million. The process of integration has started during the summer. SagiCofim's ventilation solutions for surgery rooms in combination with our hygiene-certified ventilation units provide good sales synergies going forward.
We are continuing to progress our sustainability work in all areas of operation. 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 longterm demand for energy-efficient ventilation products in the renovation market.
Products and solutions that we sell over a year reduce energy consumption in buildings by 1.9 TWh, preventing more than 500,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions. Systemair has set clear targets for the year 2030, where we will contribute a total of 25 TWh reduced energy use from buildings, accumulated over a 10-year period with 2019/20 as the base year.
Despite ongoing challenges in the supply chain, for the first quarter May-July 2022, Systemair can show a strong increase in turnover and an improved operating profit.
We have continued strong order intake and a historically high order backlog. With our 29 wellinvested production facilities in 20 countries and the market's most complete product range, we are the largest supplier of ventilation products in Europe.

Net sales
Systemair AB Interim report Q1 2022/23 3(16)
The gross profit for the first quarter amounted to SEK 985.8 million (796.8), an increase of 23.7 percent over the same period in the preceding year. The gross margin decreased slightly to 34.6 percent (34.8). We are gradually seeing the impact of price increases implemented in a recovery by the gross margin.
Operating profit for the first quarter totalled SEK 269.6 million (209.6), an increase of 28.7 percent over the same period last year. The operating margin increased to 9.5 percent (9.2).
Selling and administration expenses for the quarter totalled SEK 702.9 million (582.3), a rise of SEK 120.6 million, or 20.7 percent. Company acquisitions accounted for SEK 31.0 million of the quarter's costs, indicating that selling and administration expenses for like-for-like units increased by SEK 89.6 million, or 15.4 percent.
Selling expenses were charged with SEK 4.2 million (1.0) for anticipated bad debts. Acquisition-related expenses totalled SEK 2.6 million (–).
Net financial items for the first quarter totalled SEK -3.8 million (-3.4). The impact of foreign exchange on long-term receivables, loans and bank balances totalled SEK +7.5 million (+5.0) net. Interest expenses for the quarter totalled SEK -10.6 million (-6.5).
Estimated tax for the quarter totalled SEK -48.7 million (-49.4), representing an effective tax rate of 18.3 percent (24.0) based on profit after net financial items. The lower tax charge is a result of the revaluation of tax loss carry-forwards in previously loss-making entities.
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. In Sondrio in the Valtellina Valley, 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 from 1 May 2022, inclusive, net sales for the interim report period May to July 2022, inclusive, would have totalled approximately SEK 2,887.0 million. Operating profit for that period would have totalled approximately SEK 273.0 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 for the quarter, net of disposals, totalled SEK 413.1 million (108.9), including SEK 91.6 million (80.7) in new construction and machinery. The investments mainly relate to the production facilities in the Czech Republic, Sweden and Denmark. Acquisitions of subsidiaries and formerly withheld purchase

considerations totalled SEK 319.7 million (20.9). Depreciation, amortisation and impairment of noncurrent assets amounted to SEK 103.2 million (90.0).
The average number of employees in the Group was 6,382 (5,995). At the end of the period, Systemair had 6,830 employees (6,523), 307 more than one year previous. New personnel were hired in India (129), the Czech Republic (55), Lithuania (31), Sweden (26), Slovenia (24) and Canada (17). Personnel cutbacks were made in Russia (-79), Menerga in Germany (-45) and South Africa (-37). Acquired companies added a total of 242 employees. The divestment of Traydus in Brazil resulted in a reduction of, in all, 89 employees.
Cash flow from operating activities, before changes in working capital during the quarter, totalled SEK 309.0 million (249.8). Changes in working capital, mainly consisting of increased inventories and trade accounts receivable, had an impact of SEK -373.8 million (-91.2) on cash flow. The sharp increase is explained by higher purchase prices for components and increased safety stocks due to current component shortages and the uncertain freight situation. Cash flow from financing activities totalled SEK +429.9 million net (-24.6). At the end of the period, net indebtedness was SEK 2,628.1 million (1,524.9). The consolidated equity/assets ratio was 44.0 percent (48.4) at the end of the period.
On 26 August 2021, the Annual General Meeting of Systemair AB approved the issue of warrants within the framework of the LTIP 2021 incentive programme. During the 2021/22 financial year, Systemair AB issued
a total of 600,000 warrants for Systemair shares, to 44 individuals in senior positions within the Company. Transfer of the warrants to the participants took place at a price corresponding to their market value according to an external independent valuation using an accepted valuation model (Black-Scholes). Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one new share in the Company at a price of SEK 98.20. The programme runs for four years from 23 September 2021 and the last day for subscription is 30 September 2025.
Systemair has the following financial targets.
Sustainability issues have long been a central and natural part of Systemair. The importance of goodquality indoor air is increasing and society depends on healthy and good air through energy- and resourceefficient solutions for ventilation, heating and cooling. Our solutions play an important role in our commitment to helping to bring about 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 play a part in achievement of eight of the Sustainable Development Goals.
After four years of absence, it felt extra special to meet with industry peers, partners and customers in-person again. Systemair show-cased our efficient and green products, in line with the event's push for HVAC technologies that are increasingly respectful of the environment.

No significant events have occurred since the end of the period.
In view of the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, we have decided to suspend all deliveries to Russia and Belarus for the time being. At the end of the period under review, 227 people were employed in these countries. Systemair's sales in the region represent 2.4 percent of the Group's total sales. In Russia, we have 16 local sales offices with associated warehouses. The Group has a production facility in Moscow with a book value of SEK 152.0 million. Goodwill related to the Russian business is valued at SEK 50.5 million and working capital, mainly in inventories and cash, at SEK 157.1 million. The Company's costs have been adjusted to the declining sales volume on an ongoing basis.
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.
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.
The Parent Company's net sales for the period under review totalled SEK 45.8 million (37.2). Operating profit was negative, at SEK -36.2 million (-28.0). The Parent Company had 59 employees (63). The core business of the Parent Company consists of intra-Group services.
Systemair is a leading ventilation company with operations in 52 countries in Europe, North America, the Middle East, Asia, Australia and Africa. The Company had sales of SEK 9.6 billion in the 2021/22 financial year and today employs approximately 6,800 people. Systemair has reported an operating profit every year since 1974, when the company was founded. Over the past 10 years, growth has averaged 9.4 percent. Systemair helps to improve the indoor climate with the help of energy-efficient and sustainable products that reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
Systemair has well-established operations in growth markets. The Group's products are marketed under the Systemair, Frico, Fantech and Menerga brands. Systemair shares have been quoted on the Nasdaq OMX Nordic Exchange in Stockholm since October 2007, and are today traded on the Large Cap List. The Group comprises about 90 companies.
The Company established operations in 1974 with a product concept, the circular duct fan, a design that considerably simplified the process of installation. We adopted the motto "the direct route", which has been developed from a product concept into a business philosophy. Our product range has expanded strongly to extend over a broad range of fans, air handling units, products for air distribution, air conditioning, air curtains and heating products.
Operating from the core values of simplicity and reliability, our business concept is to develop, manufacture and market energy-efficient, high-quality ventilation products. On the basis of our business concept and with our customers in focus, our aim is to
be seen as a company to rely on, with the emphasis on delivery reliability, availability, sustainability and quality.
Availability is an important parameter in terms of our competitiveness, and we ensure effective control of our flow of goods, with our own production units, centralised warehouse facilities and an efficient common ERP system. With modern production plants and our own sales companies around the world, we reach out directly to our customers.
The business model supports stability and development, and today we are a leading producer and supplier of ventilation products with our own production and own sales companies.
The following strategies create major strengths and competitive advantages that help us to achieve our goals.

Systemair applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This year-end 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.
None of the new or revised standards, interpretations or improvements, as adopted by the EU, have affected the Group in any material way.
The Group's revenue is generated in the main from the manufacture and sale of ventilation products, as well as from the servicing of ventilation products. Total revenue for the quarter amounted to SEK 2,848.9 million (2,290.5), of which servicing of ventilation products accounted for SEK 99.8 million (78.5).

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 | 313.2 |
| Goodwill | 70.6 |
| Identifiable net assets | |
| Brands and customer relationships | 55.5 |
| Other intangible assets | 54.4 |
| Buildings and land | 93.5 |
| Machinery and equipment | 25.1 |
| Financial and other non-current assets | 0.8 |
| Inventory | 74.2 |
| Trade accounts receivable | 138.0 |
| Other current assets | 17.0 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 28.2 |
| Minority interest | -25.1 |
| Non-interest-bearing liabilities | -15.3 |
| Deferred tax liability | -29.8 |
| Interest-bearing liabilities | -12.8 |
| Other operating liabilities | -90.5 |
| 313.2 |
The total cash flow impact from acquisitions is SEK -319.7 million. Transactions costs relating to the acquisitions total SEK 2.6 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 74.6 million. Operating profit for the period concerned was SEK 0.9 million. If the companies acquired had been consolidated from 1 May 2022, inclusive, net sales for the interim report period May to July 2022, inclusive, would have totalled approximately SEK 2,887.0 million. Operating profit for that period would have totalled approximately SEK 273.0 million.
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.
No change in the option took place during the quarter, and it is valued at SEK 20.9 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. No change in the option took place during the quarter, and it is valued at SEK 2.1 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.
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.

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/
