STRONG GROWTH AND PROFITABILITY

"The first quarter of the year was characterized by strong growth and improved profitability. Net sales increased by 22 percent, mainly impacted by organic growth of 13 percent and positive exchange rate effects.

EBIT, excluding items affecting comparability, increased 25 percent and the operating margin amounted to 17.3 percent (16.9). This was the best quarter to date in terms of EBIT and the EBIT margin, despite challenges in the form of rising prices for raw materials, energy and freight. Operating cash flow was held back by an increased need for working capital in pace with growing sales, but also the need to secure customer deliveries by deliberately increasing inventory levels for some products, raw materials and input goods.

Demand was healthy in most industries, and the order book was at its highest level to date at the end of the quarter. Capacity utilization is high in our manufacturing facilities, which generated good efficiency. The deterioration in the geopolitical situation in our local area added to the challenges related to raw materials supplies and freight, but had only a limited financial impact during the quarter. We have managed to balance the rising cost inflation well so far using our own price adjustments and efficiency improvements.

In Trelleborg Industrial Solutions, sales grew in all geographical markets. Deliveries to all industries increased, which was particularly notable within marine solutions, and to the aerospace and construction-related industries. Sales to automotive and train manufacturers remained positive compared with the year-earlier quarter.

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions noted favorable organic development in most industries, at the same time as order intake improved. Deliveries increased in Europe and, above all, in North and South America. However, sales in Asia were lower, negatively impacted by further restrictions and measures in China due to Covid-19. Sales to general industry, healthcare & medical and the aerospace industry increased significantly. Deliveries to the automotive industry also grew somewhat as a result of increased market shares in some niches.

Trelleborg Wheel Systems noted a highly favorable increase in sales in all tire categories and geographical markets. During the quarter, we signed an agreement to divest the business area to Yokohama Rubber Company for approximately SEK 22 billion. The valuation reflects the operation's position as one of the world's foremost suppliers of off-the-road tires, while the transaction, when completed, will create new, exciting opportunities for a more streamlined Trelleborg going forward.

The availability of some raw materials and transport capacity still represents a bottleneck. There is also a workforce shortage in some regions. We foresee continued major potential for growth, both organically and through acquisitions, within adjacent products and solutions that complement and strengthen our existing offerings. Our strong financial position also allows for a share repurchase program, which commenced during the quarter and will continue in the future.

The extensive geopolitical uncertainty means that the market outlook is difficult to assess in many respects. Our recordstrong order book and favorable market positions, however, mean that we can continue to look ahead with cautious confidence. Our general assessment in the current situation is that demand for the second quarter will remain at the same healthy level as in the first quarter."

Peter Nilsson, President and CEO

MARKET OUTLOOK FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2022

Demand is expected to be on a par with the first quarter of 2022, adjusted for seasonal variations. However, the geopolitical situation (for further information, refer to page 11) that has arisen entails a heightened degree of uncertainty.

Market outlook from the interim report published on February 4, 2022, relating to the first quarter of 2022

Demand is expected to be on a par with the fourth quarter of 2021, adjusted for seasonal variations. Uncertainty regarding the pandemic's impact on the coming quarters remains.

SUSTAINABILITY

Lower climate impact. Trelleborg's intention to divest the Trelleborg Wheel Systems business area (for further information, refer to page 10) will, on completion, entail a reduction of the Group's greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 60 percent within the framework of Scope 1 and Scope 2. As a result of this change, the Group's climate targets will be reviewed.

The intention is also to make improvements in emissions throughout the supply chain, Scope 3. In dialog with the Science Based Targets initiative, Trelleborg will establish this target during 2022.

Cooperation for reduced emissions. Since March 2022, Trelleborg has participated in the European Innovation Council's (EIC) program aimed at achieving the best possible results for a more rapid reduction in greenhouse gases in Europe and improved competitiveness through the development of completely new solutions. It involves bringing together established companies with start-ups and small companies to jointly identify solutions that address the challenge of reducing the carbon footprint of larger companies. Increased circularity via Polymers for Tomorrow. With

circularity in focus, Trelleborg established the crossorganizational team Polymers for Tomorrow at the end of 2021, which has the task of increasing the sustainability of Trelleborg's raw material. More specifically, the Polymers for Tomorrow team will investigate seven of the Group's key materials to identify ways to increase the proportion of recovered or renewable alternative materials, an approach that will lead to new and more circular concepts.

Social engagement. Trelleborg supports local communities through various community activities. All workplaces with more than 50 employees must have a plan for their social engagement. In India, for example, Trelleborg supports a local foundation through academic scholarships for more than 200 children from underprivileged backgrounds. Locally in the US, the Group sponsors a basketball team by providing nutritious meals before matches and locally in Spain, employees carry out volunteer work for newly arrived school students, which Trelleborg matches with school supplies.

TRELLEBORG WHEEL SYSTEMS

Organic sales for the quarter increased by 33 percent year on year. A highly favorable increase in sales for agricultural tires was noted in all geographical markets and in all sales channels. Above all, the trend in North and South America was particularly strong. Demand for tires for material handling and construction vehicles was also very healthy during the period. The organic trend was mainly affected by volume growth, but also by price adjustments implemented at the beginning of the quarter.

EBIT and the EBIT margin increased as a result of higher sales volumes, price adjustments and effective cost control. The favorable trend was achieved despite significantly higher costs for raw materials, energy and freight. Exchange rate effects from the translation of foreign subsidiaries had a positive impact of SEK 22 M on EBIT.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE QUARTER

Agreement to divest Trelleborg Wheel Systems business

area. Trelleborg Group signed an agreement to divest its Trelleborg Wheel Systems business area to Yokohama Rubber Company for EUR 2,100 M (SEK ~22,000 M) on a cash and debt-free basis, which represents 13x the business area's 2021 operational EBITDA, or 17.5x 2021 EBIT. Less than 3 percent of the purchase price is subject to the performance of Trelleborg Wheel Systems in 2022. The transaction will result in an estimated capital gain of SEK 6,000 M. Closing of the transaction is subject to approvals from relevant authorities and is expected to be completed in the latter part of 2022.

In the financial statements, Trelleborg Wheel Systems will be recognized among Assets held for sale as of this interim report. Historical sales and earnings figures have been restated and communicated through a press release on April 1, 2022.

In summary, Trelleborg will become more profitable and less cyclical, and will improve its sustainability profile as a result of the divestment. The transaction will further strengthen the Group's capacity to accelerate growth, both organic and through acquisitions, as well as returning additional capital to shareholders. Further information on the use of proceeds will follow in due course. The transaction has also prompted a review of the Group's financial targets, which will also be communicated at a later stage.

The press release was published on March 25, 2022.

Decision to exercise authorization to acquire own shares. The Board of Directors of Trelleborg has decided to exercise

the authorization granted by the Extraordinary General Meeting on December 28, 2021, 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 and 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 cancelled by resolutions at upcoming annual general meetings.

The press release was published on March 25, 2022.

New General Counsel. Katarina Olsson has been appointed the new General Counsel for the Group as of the end of the second quarter 2022. She succeeds Charlotta Grähs, who is stepping down from her position at Trelleborg to take a similar role at another company. This has previously been communicated.

OTHER

NEWS IN PRODUCTS AND SOLUTIONS

Composite material for aerospace. Trelleborg launched Orkot® C620 composite material, specifically developed to meet the needs of the aerospace industry, in particular the requirement for a strong and light material to withstand the high loads and stresses landing gear are subject to. The material supports the move to lighter more fuel-efficient aircraft, as it is an alternative to metallic components.

Lifting bags for first responders. The Nova inflatable lifting bag is being launched in the spring. It has a pressure of 15 bar, the highest of any lifting bag on the market. Lifting bags are used by first responders at accidents where vehicles or rubble obstruct rescue efforts. Nova provides an exceptional lifting capacity of up to 100 tons.

The market for healthcare & medical 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.

Shorter mooring times. Trelleborg's rope-free automated mooring system AutoMoor was installed in the port of Tallinn, Estonia. It is the country's largest port and one of the busiest passenger ports in the world. A vacuum-based mooring system reduces the mooring time to just a few minutes.

Seals for high temperatures. Trelleborg launched XploR™ S-Seal and XploR™ FS-Seal, which are custom-engineered, spring-energized elastomer seals. Meeting the needs of the energy industry, these offer maximum extrusion resistance in demanding high pressure, high temperature (HPHT) sealing environments. The seals are single-piece components, engineered to make installation easier and safer.

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 its industries that has 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 that has arisen, combined with increased inflationary pressure and the fact that measures to combat the spread of the coronavirus in some countries are still impacting the supply chain. Trelleborg has continuously managed its supply chain and has activated contingency plans to address the disruptions in the supply of raw materials.

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

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 non-current and current liabilities include earnouts according to contract in an amount of SEK 0 M (21) and SEK 60 M (22), respectively. 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 increase the Group's non-current loans by SEK 36 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 industries.

The fast-growing segments 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 market segments.

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.
