In a still challenging market, we have been able to balance short-term profitability and long-term value growth to deliver an EBITA in line with the previous year. Completed acquisitions and implemented costsaving programmes have had a positive impact on the quarter. Structurally, Volati is in very good shape and as market conditions improve, we will be well positioned to gradually reverse the market-driven decline in earnings in recent years.
Although we have started to see signs of slightly better market conditions for Salix Group and S:t Eriks in the last quarter, we do not expect any significant improvement in the near future. The picture looks the same for Communication, which is being affected by the pace of the 5G network rollout. In the short term, our focus remains on cost control while actively seizing the opportunities we see in the market.
To ensure our long-term development, we have positioned ourselves well and taken several structurally sound measures which will gradually take effect. Among other things, we have reviewed the cost base of the companies and worked on issues such as organisational structure and synergies within our platforms. We are confident that these efforts will maximise profits and cash flow over time. Our net debt/adjusted equity ratio of 2.7x is within our target range and we look forward to the second half of the year, which is usually strong in terms of cash flow. We feel comfortable with our current debt level and we continue to have good opportunities for acquisitive growth.
Salix continues to be affected by challenging market conditions, but as a result of acquisitions, sales increased by 6 percent compared with the same quarter in the previous year. The EBITA margin strengthened during the quarter and EBITA growth was 9 percent. Good cost control, synergies and other measures aimed at strengthening long-term competitiveness are major contributors to the good margin development, despite a market with declining volumes. Salix Group is very well positioned for strong earnings growth as market conditions improve and volumes return to normal levels.
Ettiketto Group has had a very strong second quarter, increasing sales organically by 7 percent and improving the EBITA margin from 17 to 21 percent. Over the last 12 months, Ettiketto Group has achieved a margin of 20 percent. Ettiketto Group is a clear example of how our platforms make

acquisitions and then work systematically to realise synergies, which in the second quarter contributed to EBITA growth of 30 percent.
Industry as a whole continues to face tough comparatives from the second quarter of 2023 and showed a decline of 12 percent in sales, while the margin fell from 12 to 11 percent. Communication's weak market conditions are the main reason for the business area's reduced earnings compared with the previous year. Communication will face lower comparative figures with effect from the second half of the year, while we see some signs of improving market conditions. Corroventa had a strong quarter and is being positively affected by flooding in Europe. S:t Eriks continues to face challenging market conditions but previously implemented cost measures are producing good effects and contributed to an acceptable quarter in terms of results. Tornum Group has experienced slightly weaker demand from customers in the agricultural segment, mainly timing-related, which led to a weaker quarter in terms of earnings. The more industrialised customers are developing well and account for an increasing proportion of Tornum Group's healthy order backlog.
During the quarter, we have strengthened our Group management team with expertise in strategic HR. With this recruitment, we are further increasing our focus on skills supply and development, which is central to our value creation.
Overall, the Group is in good shape and we are ready to capitalise on our position. We have platforms in place, a financial position we are comfortable with and an active acquisition programme that contributes to our long-term value creation.

The Group's net sales for Q2 2024 amounted to SEK 2,195 (2,251) million, a decline of 2 percent compared with the same quarter in the previous year. Organically, net sales fell by 11 percent during the quarter.
The Group's net sales for the period January-June 2024 amounted to SEK 3,942 (4,140) million, a decline of 5 percent compared with the same period the previous year. Organically, net sales fell by 13 percent during the same period.
EBITA for Q2 2024 declined by 2 percent to SEK 244 (249) million. Ettiketto Group and Salix Group reported earnings that were higher than the same quarter in the previous year, while Industry showed a decline in earnings compared with the previous year. Profit after tax for Q2 2024 fell by 14 percent to SEK 132 (153) million.
EBITA for the period January-June 2024 declined by 18 percent to SEK 334 (408) million. Profit after tax for the same period declined by 33 percent to SEK 151 (227) million.
Operating cash flow (for definition and calculation, see pages 22-23) amounted to SEK 209 (166) million in Q2 2024. Compared with the same quarter in the previous year, operating cash flow was positively affected by lower tied-up working capital and lower investments during the period. The Group's operating cash flow for the period January-June 2024 amounted to SEK 227 (292) million, mainly driven by lower earnings compared with the same period in the previous year.
Cash flow from operating activities (see page 15) amounted to SEK 183 (153) million for Q2 and SEK 162 (214) million for the period January-June 2024.
Investments in non-current assets during Q2 2024 amounted to SEK 17 (31) million and were primarily investments in the businesses, including ongoing investments in machinery, equipment and IT systems.
Total dividends of SEK 174 (161) million were paid in Q2 2024.



Net sales Q2 2024

EBITA Q2 2024

Operating cash flow Q2, 2024
Volati's sales, earnings and cash flow are affected by seasonal variations. This means that Volati's operations, sales and earnings development should ideally be analysed on a rolling 12-month basis.

The Group's equity amounted to SEK 2,137 million at the end of the period, compared with SEK 2,206 million at the end of the previous year. The change is mainly attributable to earnings for the period and ordinary and preference share dividends. The equity ratio was 29 percent on 30 June 2024, compared with 34 percent on 31 December 2023. The return on adjusted equity was 17 percent, compared with 22 percent at the end of 2023.

The Group had net debt of SEK 2,223 million on 30 June 2024, compared with 1,713 million on 31 December 2023. The change in debt is mainly due to earnings for the period, dividends, acquisitions and changes in working capital. Net debt/adjusted EBITDA was 2.7x at the end of the quarter, compared with 2.0x at the end of 2023. Total liabilities amounted to SEK 5,307 (4,346) million on 30 June 2024, of which interest-bearing liabilities, including pension obligations and lease liabilities, amounted to SEK 2,956 (2,325) million.
Acquisitions are a core element of Volati's strategy for creating long-term value growth, and the Company continuously evaluates both complementary add-on acquisitions and acquisitions in new lines of business. It is Volati's assessment that there is a lower risk level for add-on acquisitions than for acquisitions in new lines of business, as in-depth industrial know-how and a recipient organisation are already in place in the acquiring company. Add-on acquisitions also enable synergies.
No acquisitions or divestments were made during Q2 2024. For acquisitions during Q1 2024, see note 4.

Salix Group continues to face a challenging market, mainly due to low demand in the professional segment. Despite this, sales for Q2 2024 increased by 6 percent, driven by acquisitions, with a slightly stronger margin. Sales for the period January-June 2024 increased by 1 percent compared with the previous year, with an unchanged EBITA margin.
To meet the lower market demand, Salix Group has, in recent years, worked pro-actively on cost control, synergies within the Group and market development. Despite lower volumes, this work has led to an increased

margin during the quarter through a higher coverage rate and lower overheads. The EBITA margin for the last 12 months is 8 percent, which is a little higher than in the same period a year ago.
The long-term need for Salix Group's products is considered to be good, with the housing shortage in Sweden driving long-term demand for new construction, refurbishment and renovation of housing. The market outlook for 2024 is expected to remain challenging, but in 2025 the industry as a whole is expected to show growth. With its disciplined work on efficiency improvements, communication, pricing and focus on growth, Salix Group will be optimally positioned when the volumes return.
The process of integrating and developing Trejon Försäljnings AB and Beslag Design AB is progressing according to plan. The acquisitions strengthen the business area's offering to forestry and agriculture, and the interior fittings market. The business area sees further acquisition opportunities in most of its operations.
Ettiketto Group is a leading Nordic supplier of self-adhesive labels for a variety of applications including consumer goods, food and industry. The company also has a comprehensive range of labelling machines that are integrated into customers' production lines.

Ettiketto Group performed well in Q2 2024, increasing sales organically by 7 percent, while the margin increased by 4 percentage points compared with the same quarter in the previous year. The order intake in the Swedish operations is good and production capacity is being expanded in order to meet demand, with more machines and increased shift work. Sales for the period January-June 2024 increased by 2 percent and the EBITA margin increased by 3 percentage points to 20 percent.

Historically, Ettiketto Group has had an EBITA margin of about 20 percent, but between 2020-2022, the company grew significantly through acquisitions of
businesses. On average, these businesses had lower margins than Ettiketto Group, which had a negative impact on margins. Following the acquisitions, Ettiketto Group has worked systematically to realise synergies and improve the operational efficiency of the acquired companies. This has resulted in the margin increasing over the last seven quarters and it is now back at 20 percent over the last 12 months.
The business area works actively to identify companies to acquire, both in the Nordic region and the rest of Europe. The prospects for acquisitive growth remain good.
The Industry business area consists of four businesses with leading market positions in their own niches. The businesses are manufacturing suppliers of solutions in grain handling, moisture and water damage restoration, infrastructure for telecom and lighting, and stone and cement products for infrastructure, paving and roofing.

Sales for the business area declined by 12 percent in Q2 2024. EBITA fell to SEK 107 million compared with SEK 132 million in the previous year, primarily due to the continued challenging market situation for the Communication platform and S:t Eriks, and also for Tornum Group during the quarter. Sales for the period January-June showed a decline of 12 percent and EBITA fell to SEK 131 million compared with 213 million in the previous year.
The Corroventa platform performed well during the quarter, driven by early flooding in Europe, which affected demand for Corroventa's water damage

restoration products. The Tornum Group platform has faced a slightly weaker market in the agricultural segment, mainly driven by timing effects, resulting in a weaker quarter in terms of earnings. Within the S:t Eriks platform, the building market segment is experiencing weak demand, while products for the infrastructure segment are experiencing more stable demand. Cost programmes implemented in S:t Eriks are producing effects, and earnings for Q2 2024 have been satisfactory. The Communication platform continues to face a weak market, in line with Q1 2024. Deliveries are being negatively affected by a slowdown in the international 5G rollout. The businesses are working actively on price discipline, productivity improvements and cost control to manage market conditions.
The process of integrating and developing Gunnar Prefab and SIMEZA is progressing according to plan. The acquisitions strengthen and complement Volati's offering in the Tornum Group and St:Eriks platforms. The business area sees further acquisition opportunities in most of its operations.
Head office comprises the central costs in the Parent Company Volati AB and associated operations. Head office costs for Q2 2024 amounted to SEK 13 (14) million. Head office costs for the period January-June 2024 amounted to SEK 24 (26) million.
Volati has two classes of shares: ordinary shares and preference shares. The shares are listed on Nasdaq Stockholm under the tickers VOLO and VOLO PREF. The number of shareholders at the end of Q2 2024 was 11,627.
The number of ordinary shares on 30 June 2024 was 79,406,571 and the number of preference shares was 1,603,774. Share capital amounted to SEK 10 million on the same date.
In April, 338,408 warrants in Volati AB were issued to key personnel of Volati AB and 241,691 warrants in Salix Group AB to key personnel of Salix Group AB. During the second quarter, Volati sold 87,862 shares in Salix Group AB to key individuals in the company. In June, Volati sold 13,143,084 shares in Volati Communication Holding AB to a key individual in the company. These transactions reflect Volati's business model of creating common interest with key individuals within Volati through coinvestments.
Other related-party transactions are listed in the 2023 annual report and the Q1 2024 interim report. All transactions have been conducted at market conditions.

The Group applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. This interim report for the Group has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups. The report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The accounting policies are consistent with those applied by the Group in the 2023 annual report.
Some figures in this report have been rounded, which means that certain tables do not always add up exactly. This applies where figures are stated in thousands, millions or billions. Pages 1-11 of this report are an integral part of the interim report.
The current war between Russia and Ukraine affects us all, but above all it is a humanitarian disaster for the Ukrainian people. Volati's direct economic exposure to Russia and Ukraine is relatively limited, but the war has also caused turbulence in world markets, and inflation and interest rates have risen since the war began, affecting the cost of the Group's purchases and increasing net interest. Volati is closely monitoring developments.
It is the assessment that the Group's other material risks and uncertainties are unchanged from those described in detail in the 2023 Annual Report.
At the end of Q1, Volati consisted of the three business areas Salix Group, Ettiketto Group and Industry. Segment reporting follows the principles set out in the 2023 Annual Report.

The acquisition of Trejon Försäljnings AB was finalised on 25 January and an agreement to acquire all shares in Beslag Design AB was signed on 20 February. Both companies are add-on acquisitions for Salix Group. Trejon Försäljnings AB reported annual sales of SEK 300 million in 2022/23. Beslag Design reported annual sales of approximately SEK 190 million in 2023.
The Group's earnings were affected by transaction costs of SEK 2 million for the above acquisitions. Goodwill of SEK 101 million arising from the transactions is supported by several factors, largely attributable to the acquired companies' synergies, employees and market shares. Cash settlements of additional consideration during the year amounted to SEK 23 million.
The impact of the acquisitions on the Volati Group's balance sheet on the acquisition date is set out below.

If the acquisitions had been consolidated with effect from 1 January 2024, their contribution to the Group's income statement, excluding transaction costs, for the period 1 January to 30 June would have been as follows: sales SEK 227 million, EBITDA SEK 30 million, EBITA SEK 28 million and operating profit SEK 20 million.
The fair values of the Group's financial assets and liabilities are not materially different from their carrying amounts.

The financial reports published by Volati include alternative performance measures (APMs), which supplement the metrics defined or specified in the applicable rules for financial reporting, such as revenue, profit or loss and earnings per share. APMs are specified when they, in their context, provide clearer or more in-depth data than those metrics defined in the applicable rules for financial reporting. The basis for APMs is that they are used by management to assess financial performance and can thus be considered to give analysts and other stakeholders valuable information.
Volati regularly uses APMs as a complement to the key metrics defined in IFRS. The APMs derive from Volati's consolidated accounts and do not comprise measures of financial performance or liquidity in accordance with IFRS and, accordingly, should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating profit or other key metrics that are derived pursuant to IFRS or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of consolidated liquidity.
The following table sets out definitions for Volati's key figures. The calculation of APMs is presented separately below.
| Non-IFRS APMs and key metrics | Description | Reason for use | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EBITDA | Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation. |
EBITDA is used together with EBITA to clarify earnings before the effects of depreciation and impairment, and before amortisation of acquisition-related intangible assets, in order to provide a view of the profit generated by operating activities. |
|||
| Items affecting comparability | These items include transaction-related costs, restructuring costs, remeasurement of additional consideration, capital gains/losses on the sale of operations and non-current assets, and other items that affect comparability over time. |
Items affecting comparability represent income and expenses that are not attributable to the underlying performance of the business. |
|||
| Adjusted EBITDA | Calculated as EBITDA, excl. IFRS 16 operating lease adjustments, for the last 12 months for the companies included in the Group at the reporting date, as if they had been owned for the last 12 months, and adjusted for transaction-related costs, restructuring costs, remeasurement of additional consideration, capital gains/losses on the sale of operations and non-current assets, and other items that affect comparability over time. |
Adjusted EBITDA provides management and investors with a view of the size of the operations included in the Group at the reporting date, as it does not include items not directly attributable to day-to-day operations. Also used in our covenant calculations for the bank. |
|||
| EBITA | Earnings before interest, taxes and amortisation. | Together with EBITDA, EBITA provides a view of the profit generated by operating activities. |
|||
| EBITA excl. items affecting comparability |
Calculated as EBITA, adjusted for transaction-related costs, restructuring costs, remeasurement of purchase consideration, capital gains/losses on the sale of operations and assets, and other items that affect comparability over time. |
Used by management to monitor the underlying earnings growth for the Group. |
|||
| EBITA growth per ordinary share | Calculated as EBITA divided by the number of ordinary shares outstanding at the end of the period compared with the same period the previous year. |
Used to illustrate earnings per ordinary share generated by operating activities. |
|||
| Organic net sales growth | Calculated as net sales for the period, adjusted for acquired and divested net sales and currency effects, compared with net sales for the same period the previous year as if the units had been owned for the same length of time in the comparative period as the length of time they have been legally consolidated in the current period. |
This metric is used by management to monitor the underlying net sales growth in existing operations. |
|||
| Organic EBITA growth | Calculated as EBITA excluding items affecting comparability for the period, adjusted for total acquired and divested EBITA and currency effects, compared with EBITA excluding items affecting comparability for the same period the previous year, as if the units had been owned for the same length of time in the comparative period as the length of time they have been legally consolidated in the current period. |
Used by management to monitor the underlying earnings growth for existing operations. |
|||
| Return on equity | Net profit (including share attributable to non-controlling interests) divided by average equity for the last four quarters (including share attributable to non-controlling interests). |
Shows the return generated on the total capital invested in the Company by shareholders. |
|||
| Return on adjusted equity | Net profit (including share attributable to non-controlling interests) less preference share dividend divided by average equity for the last four quarters (including share attributable to non-controlling interests) less preference share capital. |
Shows the underlying return generated on ordinary share capital invested in the Company by owners of ordinary shares. |
|||
| Equity ratio | Equity (including share attributable to non-controlling interests) as a percentage of total assets. |
The metric can be used to assess financial risk. |
| Non-IFRS APMs and key metrics | Reason for use | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash conversion | Calculated as operating cash flow for the last 12 months divided by EBITDA excl. IFRS 16 Leases. |
Cash conversion is used by management to monitor how efficiently the Company is managing working capital and ongoing investments. |
|
| Operating cash flow | Calculated as EBITDA, excl. IFRS 16 Leases, adjusted for non-cash items, less the difference between investments in/divestments of property, plant & equipment and intangible assets, after adjustment for cash flow from changes in working capital, excl. IFRS 16. |
Operating cash flow is used by management to monitor cash flow generated by operating activities. |
|
| Net debt/Adjusted EBITDA | Interest-bearing net debt, excl. adjustments for IFRS 16 Leases, additional consideration and put options at the end of the period in relation to adjusted EBITDA for the period. |
The metric can be used to assess financial risk. |
|
| Return on capital employed (ROCE excl. goodwill) |
EBITA excluding items affecting comparability for the last 12 months divided by average capital employed for the last 12 months. |
Shows the return on capital employed generated by each business area and the Group without taking into consideration acquisition-related intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. |
|
| Return on capital employed including goodwill (ROCE incl. goodwill) |
EBITA excluding items affecting comparability for the last 12 months divided by average capital employed including goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives for the last 12 months. |
Shows the return on capital employed generated by each business area and the Group. |
