The contracting market within pipe relining remained cautious through the fourth quarter of 2023, with squeezed margins for Wall to Wall Group, which was communicated in conjunction with the publication of preliminary figures 31 January 2024. A number of actions have been initiated that are expected to lead to gradual improvements in the first half of this year.
Market caution dominated the year, mainly due to uncertainty with regard to interest rate levels during the year and their consequent impact on investments in planned maintenance, particularly among housing companies and housing cooperatives. This has mainly impacted contractors in pipe relining operations, which have been subject to price pressure that has gradually affected project margins, and were not offset in time through more cost-efficient production. This trend became increasingly clear in the fourth quarter, when utilisation rates were generally stable but with reduced average price levels.
Given that we have completed a number of pipe relining acquisitions over the past year, which have yet to be fully coordinated, costs in this part of the operations have been excessively high. Together, these factors have impacted heavily on pipe relining's net revenue and earnings contribution in the fourth quarter, which, together with initiated new establishments in the same segment, performed below expectations.
To some extent, market caution has also impacted the Group's geothermal energy project activities, while the development of contracting services for duct sealing and service operations in flushing progressed in line with plans.
During the year, Wall to Wall Group established itself as a Nordic market leader in its main service segments. Major investments have been made to improve the offering, processes, reporting and sustainability as well as in an organisation that can manage larger volumes. This means that in the current market climate, shared costs are too high in relation to the operations' current net revenue and earnings contribution.
Therefore, a number of actions have been initiated to strengthen the operating margin and more quickly reach the long-term financial target. In addition to actions to reduce indirect costs, actions are being taken to strengthen cost control and project management, and to adjust direct costs of production to thereby raise competitiveness and improve project margins. This applies especially to areas where, by virtue of its size and market-leading position, Wall to Wall Group has particularly favourable preconditions, including optimal resource utilisation and the purchase of materials and external services.
Moreover, consolidation of the Finnish operations into one company is being accelerated, which will result in discontinuation of the operations of RPL. This is expected, in the short term, to lead to slight shrinkage in the revenue base concurrent with reduced costs. Similarly, earlier new establishments are being evaluated based on targets set for these.
In 2023, the Group markets were dominated by caution among the primary customer groups, housing companies and housing cooperatives, primarily as a result of the uncertainty with regard to interest rate levels. This has impacted the Group's operations in pipe relining and to some extent in the Group's project activities in geothermal energy while contracting services for duct sealing and service operations in flushing progressed well.
During the full-year 2023, a number of additional acquisitions were completed primarily in the Finnish market. The acquisitions of the pipe relining operations of Sukittajat and Consti created an important platform for continued expansion and consolidation of the fragmented market in Finland. In addition, investments took place in new business systems that will be fully operational across the Group in 2024.
Pro forma fourth-quarter net revenue for Wall to Walls Group's operations (formerly Spolargruppen) amounted to SEK 274.7 million (281.6), corresponding to a decrease of -2.4%. The quarter's currency impact amounted to 0.8%. Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 14.0 million (42.5), corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 5.1% (15.1).
For the full-year 2023, sales increased 10.1% (currency adjusted 8.4) to SEK 1,016.8 million (923.7) with an adjusted EBITA of SEK 73.3 million (98.6), corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 7.2% (10.7).
Pro forma fourth-quarter adjusted EBITA for the parent company Wall to Wall Group AB amounted to SEK 11.7 million (39.7). For 2023 as a whole, adjusted EBITA totalled SEK 60.6 million (84.2). The Group-wide costs pertaining to corporate acquisitions, being a publicly listed company, company management, etc., represent just over 1.0% of the Group's sales.
Adjustment items affecting comparability amounting to SEK -0.4 million (3.1) were reported for the fourth quarter. These pertained mainly to earnout revaluations (primarily related to RPL Talotekniikka Oy), restructuring of the Finnish operations and costs arising from name and listing changes.
"During 2023, we achieved an important milestone when we reached pro forma sales exceeding SEK 1 billion, we developed our sustainable development efforts and became the first company in the industry to be verified in accordance with ISO 26 000. Our progress in terms of size and quality is something I am very proud of.
However, I am not satisfied with profitability as we failed to achieve our targets for the year. By virtue of our size, we should have the industry's lowest production and joint costs as a share of net revenue. It is possible to achieve this but requires us to realise more synergies, improve our project management and control costs in everything we do. This is something we are actively engaged in and operations may be merged where appropriate. I expect the measures we initiated will lead to gradual improvements already in the first half of this year.
It is with the utmost humility and pride that I look forward, together with my more than 500 employees, to continuing work developing and growing Wall to Wall in the years ahead."
Market trends in the Group's operating areas are fragmented. Contracting services in pipe relining are still experiencing a cautious market with elements of price pressure, while the market for service in primarily flushing operations is favourable. Stabilising interest rates during the year are expected to contribute to a recovery for investments by property owners in planned maintenance, where there could currently be a pent-up need. At the same time, measures are being implemented to realise synergies and reduce costs, which are expected to have a positive impact on profitability. The company's long-term financial targets of 10% organic growth and 15% adjusted EBITA margin remain but are not expected to be achieved during the current year as the company anticipates cautious growth and a gradual improvement in year-on-year profitability, driven by initiated measures and market improvements.

Wall to Wall Group is a Nordic market leading player in pipe relining, pipe flushing, maintenance and sealing of ventilation ducts, as well as other complementary services that are sold and performed in the same market channels such as geothermal energy solutions for apartment buildings. The single largest field of activity consists of pipe relining and pipe flushing. The Group's end customers consist of property owners, primarily commercial managers of homes and premises, public housing and housing cooperatives. The Group has high quality and sustainability ambitions, and aspires to be the most attractive employer in the industry. In total, the Group has just over 500
employees and more than 20 offices in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. The Nordic market for pipe relining and pipe flushing is fragmented and estimated to amount to just over SEK 10 billion in 2024. Market growth over the past five-year period has been approximately 12% per year and is expected to grow at a similar rate in the years ahead. Sweden is the single largest market and represents approximately 60% of the total Nordic market. Wall to Wall Group has a clear growth strategy with good opportunities to grow both organically and through acquisitions as well as through establishments in new locations.

Operating income amounted to SEK 274.7 million (205.3), and primarily consisted of income from pipe relining, duct sealing and geothermal energy of SEK 207.0 million (149.9) and pipe flushing of SEK 67.8 million (55.4).
Adjusted EBITDA amounted to SEK 26.1 million (39.2) corresponding to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 9.5% (19.1).

The accounting policies and methods of calculation applied in this interim report are in accordance with the policies described in the 2022 Annual Report, with the exceptions detailed below.
The changes in the accounting policies applied by the Group are detailed below.
During the current financial year, the Group changed the accounting policy for the recognition of earnout-linked financial instruments. Earnouts are classified as financial liabilities and are measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). Previously, the change in value was recognised in profit or loss under financial items and from the current financial year, the change in value will be recognised in profit or loss in the operating profit. Since acquisitions and thus often occurring earnouts comprise an essential component of the company's growth strategy, changes in earnouts will in the future be recognised in the operating profit in order to better reflect the underlying earnings trend.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, RFR 1 Supplementary Reporting Rules for Groups, as well as the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) as adopted by the EU. This interim report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost convention.
The Group was founded on 28 April 2022 when Wall to Wall Group acquired Spolargruppen. The Wall to Wall Group AB Parent Company was founded on 30 March 2021. With the acquisition of Spolargruppen, the Wall to Wall Group AB Parent Company has changed its financial year, which was previously from 1 August to 31 July, to the calendar year. The preceding financial year is therefore 1 August 2021 to 31 December 2022.
The company operates with one operating segment.
Wall to Wall Group is exposed through its operations to general business and financial risks. The risks are divided into four categories: Strategic risks, operational risks, compliance risks and financial risks. For further description of the risks connected with the Group's operations, see the 2022 Annual Report as well as below.
Elevated benchmark rates and volatile exchange-rate fluctuations could lead to higher financing costs for Wall to Wall Group and the development of this is monitored carefully. Wall to Wall Group's end customers consist of property owners, primarily commercial managers of homes and premises, public housing and housing cooperatives. As such, Wall to Wall Group is impacted by macroeconomic factors and cycles that impact the property industry. To date, we have yet to note any elevated risk in terms of our accounts receivable or longer payment periods from our customers.
Geopolitical conditions have resulted in increased uncertainty in global economic developments, and disruptions in supply and logistics chains, which have indirectly resulted in higher inflation and higher interest rates. As a result, there is a risk of disruption in our production, which is dependent on a properly functioning supply of materials. Such disruption could have a direct and indirect impact on our sales and profitability.
While the ongoing war in Ukraine has no direct impact on the Group, it may have an indirect impact in the form of increased general uncertainty among our customers as well as the impact on inflation and interest rates, which dampen demand for our services.
Significant estimates and judgements are unchanged from those described in Note 2 of the Group's 2022 Annual Report.
No transactions between the Wall to Wall Group and its related parties have materially impacted the Group's financial position or profit/loss for the period. For a more detailed description of the company's management of transactions with related parties, refer to the annual report for the 2022 financial year, Note 27 of the Group's notes and Note 9 of the Parent Company's notes.

Issued series 2021:2 and 2021:3 warrants offer the company the possibility to conduct settlement through net strike. This means there is a variability in the number of shares that will be issued and the fixed for fixed condition in IAS 32 is therefore not fulfilled. In the event of net settlement, the company uses its own shares as payment to settle the existing obligation.
The number of shares issued depends on the fair value of the company's shares on the settlement date. Series 2021:2 and 2021:3 warrants are therefore recognised in accordance with IAS 32 and classified as financial liabilities and not as equity. The Group's issued investor warrants and earnouts are classified as financial liabilities and are measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
Change in value for investor warrants is recognised in profit or loss under financial items and the change in value for earnouts is recognised in profit or loss in the operating profit.
The offer to repurchase warrants announced on 13 September 2023 was completed in the quarter, which reduced the number of series 2021:2 and series 2021:3 warrants outstanding by about 66%. This will result in lower volatility in the company's financial items in the quarters ahead.

| Series 2021:2 warrants issued | 4.0 | 8.1 |
| Series 2021:3 warrants issued | 2.0 | 6.9 |
| Total | 6.0 | 15.0 |
At the end of the fourth quarter, the value of liabilities connected to series 2021:2 and 2021:3 warrants outstanding amounted to SEK 6.0 million (SEK 15.0 million on 31 December 2022).
Series 2021:2 and 2021:3 warrants are valued according to level 1 and are, as of the balance-sheet date, respectively valued at SEK 4.0 million, 1,200,960 at SEK 3.30 (SEK 8.1 million, 4,384,814 at SEK 1.84 on 31 December 2022) and SEK 2.0 million, 1,965,978 at SEK 1.01 (SEK 6.9 million, 4,470,771 at SEK 1.55 on 31 December 2022) and recognised as other current liabilities.
During the 1 October – 31 December 2023 quarter, SEK 11.4 million (-8.0) was recognised as financial income in the Group and the Parent Company as a result of warrant revaluation. During the 1 January – 31 December 2023 period, SEK 1.5 million (4.0) was recognised as financial income in the Group and the Parent Company as a result of warrant revaluation. On the balance-sheet date, 8,855,585 warrants (8,855,585 on 31 December 2022) were outstanding (series 2021:2 and 2021:3), of which 3,166,932 (8,855,579 on 31 December 2022) were possible to exercise.

Contingent consideration: The company usually uses an acquisition structure with a base consideration and contingent consideration for corporate acquisitions.
In each quarter, the contracts and conditions that govern the size of the earnouts is assessed. Based on this assessment, remeasurements of the size of the earnouts can occur. Remeasurements were conducted in the quarter, which provided an earnings effect corresponding to SEK 11.6 million (–). During the 1 January – 31 December 2023 period, remeasurements were conducted, which provided an earnings effect corresponding to SEK 18.1 million (–).
The contingent consideration falls due for payment within three years and is limited to not more than SEK 115.8 million (92.0 on 31 December 2022). During the 1 October – 31 December 2023 quarter, SEK -0.7 million (-0.6) in interest was recognised in net financial items concerning earnouts. During the 1 January – 31 December 2023 period, SEK -0.7 million (-1.0) in interest was recognised in net financial items concerning earnouts.

As of the balance-sheet date, acquisition analyses are preliminary. At the time the financial statements were authorised for issue, the Group had not yet completed the accounting for the business combination. In particular, the fair values of the assets and liabilities disclosed above have only been determined provisionally as the independent valuations have not been finalised.
Suomen Sukittajat Oy was acquired on 2 January and has contributed SEK 80.7 million and SEK 3.9 million in net revenue and operating profit (EBIT) during the period.
Dansk Ventilationsforing ApS was acquired on 28 February 2023 and has contributed SEK 15.0 million, of which SEK 8.0 million in internal sales and SEK 0.3 million in net revenue and operating profit (EBIT) respectively during the period. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2023, proforma total net revenue and operating profit (EBIT) as of 31 December 2023 would have been SEK 17.0 million and SEK 0.7 million respectively. These amounts have been calculated using the subsidiary's results and adjusting them for differences in the accounting policies between the Group and the subsidiary, and the additional depreciation and amortisation that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments had applied from 1 January 2023, together with the consequential tax effects. The same principle has been used for all acquisitions.
On 28 April 2023, the acquisition of the share capital of RPL Talotekniikka Oy was completed and the company has contributed SEK 17.0 million and SEK -4.6 million in net revenue and operating profit (EBIT) respectively during the period. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2023, proforma total net revenue and operating profit (EBIT) as of 31 December 2023 would have been SEK 24.7 million and SEK -4.9 million respectively.
Repipe Norrköping was acquired on 15 June 2023 and has contributed SEK 9.1 million, of which SEK 1.2 million in internal sales and SEK 0.6 million in net revenue and operating profit (EBIT) respectively during the period. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2023, proforma total net revenue and operating profit (EBIT) as of 31 December 2023 would have been SEK 14.0 million and SEK 1.4 million respectively.
RELINER Oy was acquired on 29 September 2023 and has contributed SEK 14.7 million and SEK 0.7 million in net revenue and operating profit (EBIT) during the period. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2023, proforma total net revenue and operating profit (EBIT) as of 31 December 2023 would have been SEK 60.9 million and SEK 2.3 million respectively.
Acquisition-related costs during the 1 October – 31 December quarter of SEK -0.1 million (3.1) are included in other operating expenses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and in operating activities in the cash-flow statement. Acquisition-related costs during the 1 January – 31 December period of SEK -7.4 million (-27.2) are included in other operating expenses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and in operating activities in the cash-flow statement.
