CONTINUED STRONG GROWTH AND RECORD MARGIN

"During the second quarter, we achieved the highest sales, earnings and margin for the Group to date. Net sales increased year on year by 21 percent, with organic growth contributing 11 percent, positive exchange rate effects 8 percent and acquisitions 2 percent. EBIT, excluding items affecting comparability, increased 22 percent and the operating margin was 17.9 percent (17.0).

The development was better than expected, given the challenges we faced during the period. The prices of raw materials, energy and freight continued to rise sharply. In addition, we were negatively impacted by renewed lockdowns in China caused by Covid-19. Other constraints that we successfully managed included shortages of certain raw materials and disruptions in the supply chain. Operating cash flow was negatively impacted by generally higher working capital as a result of the increase in sales and intentionally higher inventory levels for the purpose of ensuring customer deliveries.

The earnings improvement was enabled by higher volumes in both business areas combined with cost control and strict price discipline. During the quarter, we successfully offset inflation with price adjustments to customers, efficiency improvements and strong operational implementation. We view this as confirmation of the effectiveness of our business model, which in combination with our favorable market positions means that Trelleborg is standing stronger than ever before.

We continued to report healthy demand for products and solutions of Trelleborg Industrial Solutions. The vast majority of market segments and geographic markets reported an upturn in demand, which was particularly notable in the North American market. The margin reached its highest level on record.

Organic sales for Trelleborg Sealing Solutions also performed well. Deliveries to general industry increased overall, despite a downturn in sales in Asia due to Covid lockdowns in China. Deliveries to the automotive industry declined somewhat, but nonetheless performed well in relation to the global market. The continued high level of sales to healthcare & medical and the aerospace industry was particularly satisfying.

Our tire business, reported under Assets held for sale, once again demonstrated strength despite difficult circumstances. The war in Ukraine, freight shortages and a drought in several countries presented tough challenges. Despite this, organic sales rose by more than 20 percent during the quarter. An increase in demand in all tire categories was noted in all geographic markets, particularly in North and South America, where the trend was especially robust.

Acquisitions continue to be an important part of our growth strategy, and we announced a smaller acquisition of a US company with a customer base in healthcare & medical. We will continue to build on our already strong market positions through acquisitions, but also in the form of focused organic initiatives in rapidly growing segments.

While our order book is very solid and remains at record levels, we can see a slight downturn in order intake compared with previous quarters. There are clear indications of increased uncertainty ahead of the second half of the year. Meanwhile, we are highly confident in our ability to address the fluctuations in the market. For the third quarter, our overall assessment is that demand will be slightly lower than in the second quarter of the year."

Peter Nilsson, President and CEO

MARKET OUTLOOK FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2022

Operating cash flow for the quarter amounted to SEK 798 M (864). Cash flow was positively affected by the higher earnings generation. The sales increase for the quarter generated a greater need for working capital, at the same time as supply chain disruptions gave rise to higher buffer inventory of both raw materials and end products. The rate of investment was higher than in the preceding year. The cash conversion ratio for the most recent 12-month period amounted to 69 percent (101).

TRELLEBORG WHEEL SYSTEMS

Organic sales for the quarter rose by 21 percent compared with the year-earlier period. A healthy increase in demand in all tire categories was noted in all geographic markets, particularly in North and South America for which the trend was very strong. In Europe, total sales of agricultural tires grew but deliveries to the aftermarket declined, impacted by the war in Ukraine and drought in many countries. Sales of tires for materials handling and construction vehicles displayed a significant upturn compared with the year-earlier period.

EBIT and the EBIT margin increased as a result of higher sales volumes, structural measures implemented earlier and effective cost control. Significant cost inflation combined with a negative sales mix was fully offset by price adjustments to customers. Exchange rate effects from the translation of foreign subsidiaries had a negative impact of SEK 12 M on EBIT compared with the year-earlier quarter.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE QUARTER

Acquisition in healthcare & medical. Trelleborg signed an agreement and finalized the acquisition of the US-based company EirMed, LLC. The company specializes in technical precision plastic injection-molded components, which are mainly applied in medical devices, such as those used for invitro diagnostics, minimally invasive surgery, and orthopedics.

The company has its head office and manufacturing in Menomonie, Wisconsin, in the US. Sales amounted to approximately SEK 100 M in 2021.

The healthcare & medical market is expected to report stable and strong growth in the years ahead. For Trelleborg, the bolt-on acquisition is part of its strategy to grow in attractive industries that have high entry barriers, and which complement and strengthen its existing offerings.

The transaction is consolidated as of April 25, 2022. The press release was published on April 26, 2022.

Decision to exercise authorization to acquire own shares.

The Board of Directors of Trelleborg decided to exercise the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting on April 27, 2022, to acquire own Series B shares.

The acquisition of shares will be carried out in accordance with the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 ("MAR") and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 2016/1052 (the "Safe Harbour Regulation"). Trelleborg will report on a regular basis via press releases at www.trelleborg.com regarding the number of Trelleborg Series B shares the Group has repurchased.

The Board of Director's intent is that the repurchased shares will later be canceled by resolutions at upcoming annual general meetings.

The press release was published on April 27, 2022.

Acquisition of small supplier of reinforcement materials.

Trelleborg signed an agreement to acquire the privately owned UK company Parklane Textiles Ltd., a sub-supplier to Trelleborg that develops and manufactures reinforcement materials used in polymer-coated fabrics. Trelleborg accounts for the vast majority of the company's sales and the acquisition thus entails only a marginal increase in sales.

Update regarding divestment of printing blanket operation.

The buyer of Trelleborg's printing blanket operation has not yet received the necessary approvals from all of the relevant authorities. The transaction is expected to be finalized in the third quarter of 2022.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE CLOSE OF THE PERIOD

SafePilot CAT PRO was launched during the quarter, the most recent software solution. It utilizes Real-time Kinematic (RTK) corrections to deliver Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) positional awareness. SafePilot CAT PRO is specifically designed for use by pilots and ports in demanding applications that require the highest positioning and speed accuracy, such as when piloting in narrow channels and confined waters.

Improved seal for engines. Trelleborg launched its enhanced D-Seal, a resilient, dual-function sealing and damping solution specifically developed to meet the needs of light and heavy vehicles, including electric and hybrid vehicles. The seal offers leak-free and long-term performance and prevents cavitation damage, for example against a cylinder lining. It also enables improved efficiency and extends the time to service intervals of the engine. The D-seal is easy to install and perfect for use in automated manufacturing processes.

More efficient manufacturing process. A new, fast and flexible digital manufacturing process is offered to customers in the manufacturing industry who need product development and small-batch production of Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) parts. The process, iCast™ LSR, is a cost-efficient way to develop product variations and test different design concepts, or to start serial production with small batches. The iCast process takes about three weeks to develop a prototype compared with the traditional process's roughly four months.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Trelleborg serves a broad range of customers in a variety of industries and niches. The business has a wide geographic spread. The Group has operations in about 50 countries, sales are conducted in just over 150 countries worldwide and manufacturing operations are carried out at more than 100 production sites. The business is diversified, which provides Trelleborg with an effective underlying risk spread.

Demand for the Group's products and solutions largely moves in line with fluctuations in global industrial production. Trelleborg focuses on maintaining an exposure to industries that jointly have a good balance between early and late cyclical industry, meaning general as well as capital-intensive industry, the demands from which often balance each other out. Seasonal effects occur in the various industries, with demand in the first half of the year tending to be slightly higher than in the second half of the year.

Long-term risks. Trelleborg has identified the relevant areas based on strategic risks, operational risks, regulatory compliance risks and financial risks that may result in damage or loss with substantial impact on the entire Group and therefore justify management of the risk exposure at Group level.

For information regarding the Group's risks, risk exposure and risk management, refer to the latest Trelleborg Annual Report, www.trelleborg.com.

Short-term risks. The strong demand during 2021 brought challenges in the supply chain, but also rising costs for raw materials, freight and energy, as well as staff shortages in

some regions. These challenges remain in 2022 on account of the volatile geopolitical situation, combined with increased inflationary pressure. Measures to combat the spread of the coronavirus in some countries may still impact the supply chain. Trelleborg has continuously managed its supply chain and has activated action plans to limit the disruptions in the supply of raw materials.

The effects of the geopolitical situation and the continued existence of the coronavirus, and the uncertainties associated with these, will persist in the forthcoming quarter.

Impact on the financial reporting due to the war in

Ukraine. Trelleborg's exposure to Russia and Ukraine is limited. During 2021, revenues from Russia and Ukraine accounted for less than 2 percent of the Group's total revenues, the majority being sales of agricultural tires. Furthermore, Trelleborg has no manufacturing sites in Russia or Ukraine. Hence, the ongoing war has very limited direct financial effects on Trelleborg. As of June 30, 2022, there is no significant impact on any balance sheet items. A provision of SEK 90 M was recorded during the first quarter of 2022, which fully covered the Group's fixed assets and working capital attributable to Russia and Ukraine.

Given the uncertainties surrounding the ongoing war, it is very difficult to predict potential indirect effects on Trelleborg.

This report has not been subject to review by the company's auditor.

Key figures

Trelleborg employs a number of alternative performance measures related to financial position, including return on equity and capital employed, net debt, debt/equity ratio and equity/assets ratio. The Group deems the key figures useful for the readers of its financial reports as a complement for assessing the possibility of dividends, implementing strategic investments and considering the Group's ability to meet its financial commitments. In addition, Trelleborg uses the cash-flow measurements of operating cash flow and free cash flow to provide an indication of the funds the operations generate to be able to implement strategic investments, make amortizations and pay returns to the shareholders. Trelleborg uses the performance metrics of EBITDA, EBITA and EBIT excluding items affecting comparability, which the Group considers to be relevant for investors seeking to understand its earnings generation before items affecting comparability.

Measurement techniques used to calculate fair value of level 2 assets

Level 2 derivatives comprise currency futures and interest swaps and are primarily used for hedging purposes, but also for trading. Measurement of the fair value of currency futures is based on the published forward rates in an active market and on the discounted contractual cash flows. Measurement of interest swaps is based on forward interest rates prepared on the basis of observable Swedish interest curves and discounting of the contractual cash flows.

Measurement techniques used to calculate fair value of level 3 assets

Interest-bearing current liabilities include earnouts according to contract in an amount of SEK 49 M (42). An assessment of the most probable outcome was made and the present value of this calculated.

Disclosure on fair value of borrowings and other financial instruments

Financial interest-bearing liabilities, except for financial derivatives that adjust loans and earnouts according to contract, are recognized at amortized cost. Changes in interest-rate levels and credit margins create differences between fair value and amortized cost. Measurement at fair value would decrease the Group's non-current loans by SEK 28 M. No remeasurement was made for current loans because the carrying amount is regarded as a good estimate of the fair value due to their short term.

ABOUT TRELLEBORG

The Trelleborg Group is a world leader in engineered polymer solutions. The Group has annual sales of approximately SEK 34 billion (2021) and operations in about 50 countries.

With Trelleborg's material expertise and industry insight into cutting-edge areas with rigorous requirements, such as the aerospace and automotive industries, as well as healthcare & medical, the Group is creating the sustainable industrial solutions of today, shaped by such trends as electrification, digitalization, industrial automation and new sustainable materials. The Group's polymer-based solutions are often critical to the functionality of the customers' advanced end products.

The engineered solutions are based on unique sealing and damping properties of polymers such as rubber and plastic. The solutions save energy and reduce CO2 emissions, eliminate noise and vibrations, and dramatically extend the lifecycles of machines and medical devices as well as skyscraper facades.

The Trelleborg Group has set ambitious science-based climate targets for its own operations, aiming for net zero emissions by 2035. Resource efficiency and circularity are becoming part of Trelleborg's DNA.

Better platform than ever. Trelleborg's way of achieving results – a strongly decentralized organization built on local responsibility and personal dedication – form the basis of the Group's model for profitability and business success.

Despite the turbulence in its operating environment, Trelleborg delivered a strong financial performance in recent years. Trelleborg's financial capacity is healthy.

Since 2019, the Group has divested a number of companies and those remaining are well-performing and wellpositioned businesses.

Accelerated growth. A number of industries have been identified as growing more than the industrial average in the years ahead – Trelleborg is therefore placing additional focus on developing its business in these segments.

The fast-growing industries will act as a driving force for other areas at Trelleborg, which through innovations, differentiation and greater global reach is expected to grow in the upper range of the industrial average.

There will be a greater focus on company acquisitions that strengthen Trelleborg in attractive industries.

Goal: Sustainability leader in the industry Trelleborg is working systematically to increase the share of bio-based and recycled raw materials in everything it develops, and has committed to setting a Science Based Target.

Bespoke strategy for each business A common feature shared by all parts of Trelleborg is its engineered polymers with completely unique sealing and damping properties. The longstanding customer relationships are all built on close innovation collaboration with renowned industrial players.

Trelleborg's operational businesses are different and therefore have bespoke strategies to achieve leading positions in their markets.

New horizons for Trelleborg The technological development and climate transition in society worldwide favor the Group, and Trelleborg is involved in developing the industrial solutions of today.

The Group has strengthened its financial targets and is ready for the new reality.
