Comments by the CEO
I am very pleased that despite the COVID-19 pandemic we have succeeded in presenting our best full year result ever. During a very turbulent year we have succeeded in improving our margins and dramatically reducing debt. We could see continued strong recovery in all our customer segments in the fourth quarter and both business areas, Supply Chain Solutions and Print & Packaging Solutions, performed significantly better than during the same period last year.
The strong demand in Supply Chain Solutions combined with lower overhead after the structural measures implemented in 2019 enabled us to improve margins compared to last year. At the end of the quarter demand from customers in retail declined due to reinstated stringent infection restric- tions. However, the lower demand in retail was compensated by the growth in our customers' online sales. Increasing the portion of online sales in Fashion & Lifestyle is a priority for Elanders. During 2020 we succeeded in gaining several new customers and we will open up a completely new facility in Oberhausen in northwestern Germany entirely dedicated to online sales. Electronics, which has more or less done well all year, also had a good fourth quarter. Demand for items like laptops and TVs remains high. Even Automotive and Industrial did well and production was not closed down more than usual for the holidays.
Print & Packaging Solutions presented its best fourth quarter ever and delivered a result that is clearly better than last year. This is primarily due to our German operations that raised its result through considerably higher web-to-print volumes in photo products, calendars and marketing material for both consumers and companies. This together with a stable recovery in Automotive and Industrial customers enabled us to optimally utilize our production capacity.
Our strong cash flow continued in the fourth quarter. Excluding IFRS 16 effects, net debt has decreased to SEK 1.1 billion and the net debt / EBITDA ratio is 1.5.
At the beginning of 2020 these figures were SEK 2.1 billion and 3.7 respectively. The lower level of debt means that, as of the middle of the first quarter, we will reduce our annual interest rate costs by another MSEK 4-5. Our liquidity
preparedness continues to be good with more than SEK 1.7 billion in cash and granted, but unutilized, credit lines.
Going into 2021 we continue to be optimistic, even though we have to assume that the measures now being imposed to reduce the spread of COVID-19 may have a negative effect on our result. The signals we are receiving from most of our major customers at the moment are that they are expecting to be able to operate normally during the first quarter if closings don't continue too far into February- March. If the Swedish krona continues to grow stronger during 2021 against, for instance, the euro and American dollar it will put a certain amount of pressure on our result since earnings are primarily in these currencies. On the other hand it will have a positive effect on net debt since it is primarily in euros.
With our strong financial position we look forward to even greater opportunities for acquisitions in the future. We are particularly interested in complementary acquisitions in Life Cycle Management and companies with a high level of value-adding services.

Net sales and result
Full year
Net sales fell to MSEK 11,050 (11,254) compared to the same period last year. Cleared of exchange rate fluctuations, net sales contracted by 0.1 percentage points.
After a weaker demand during the second quarter, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and customers closing their production plants due to component shortages, all the affected segments recovered during the second half of the year. The drop in net sales in Europe during the second quarter was partially compensated by some one-off business consisting of procuring, quality ensuring and shipping personal protective equipment from Asia to North and South America. The volume of these one-time deals diminished considerably in the third quarter and became almost nonexistent in the fourth.
Supply Chain Solutions had negative organic growth of three percent during the year. Operations in Asia drove some growth, generated primarily in customer segment Healthcare & Life Science and the previously mentioned
one-off business regarding personal protective equipment. Operations in Europe contracted, largely due to a decline in demand from Automotive, Fashion & Lifestyle and Industrial in the second quarter, but then recovered during the second half of the year.
Net sales in business area Print & Packaging Solutions grew organically due to higher activity in the business with subscription boxes in the USA. Without this business net sales in Print & Packaging Solutions contracted by close to seven percent organically. The business area was affected negatively by the pandemic during the second quarter but then recovered in the second half of the year and ended 2020 on a high note.
Adjusted EBITA, i.e. the operating result adjusted for amortization on assets identified in conjunction with acquisitions along with one-off items, increased to MSEK 598 (563), which corresponded to an adjusted EBITA margin of 5.4
(5.0) percent. Adjusted EBITA corresponds to the reported EBITA for the full year 2020.
Group
Fourth quarter
Net sales decreased to MSEK 2,886 compared to 2,904 during the same period last year. Cleared of exchange rate fluctuations, net sales increased by 5.5 percentage points.
Adjusted EBITA, i.e. the operating result adjusted for amortization on assets identified in conjunction with acquisi-
tions along with one-off items, increased to MSEK 256 (169), which corresponded to an EBITA margin of 8.9 (5.8) percent. The improved profitability stemmed from a more favorable overhead level and a good product and service mix. European operations in Supply Chain Solutions performed much better than in the same period last year.

- EBITA refers to Earnings before interest, taxes and amortization; operating result plus amortization of assets identified in conjunction with acquisitions.
In terms of result Supply Chain Solutions had its best quarter ever and succeeded in improving its adjusted EBITA result by 87 percent. In the fourth quarter demand in all customer segments continued to be good, even though it declined for customers in retail at the end of the quarter when new restrictions to stop the spread of infection caused stores to close. However, the drop in demand was compensated by an increase in online sales. All in all the business area grew organically during the quarter by one percent.
The customer segments that have come through the pandemic best so far are Electronics and Healthcare & Life Science, where there has been a strong demand for laptops, computer accessories, network equipment, TVs, medical equipment and personal protective equipment. During the fourth quarter a solid recovery became apparent in the other customer segments.
The result and margin outcome for the fourth quarter and full year was clearly better than last year. A major factor behind this was the lower overhead due to the structural measures taken in 2019 as well as a favorable product and service mix. The sales of personal protective equipment
in the second and third quarters also contributed to the improvement.
Customer activity and the number of requests for bids continues to grow. However, sales to new customers suffers when it's almost impossible to hold meetings in person or take business trips.

Goal and strategy
Elanders' overall goal is to be a leader in global solutions in supply chain management with a world class integrated offer. Our strategy is to work in niches in each business area where the company can attain a leading position in the market. We will achieve this goal by being best at meeting customers' demands for efficiency and delivery. Acquisitions play an important role in our company's development and provide competence, broader product and service offers and enlarge our customer base.
Risks and uncertainties
Elanders divides risks into circumstantial risk (the future of our products/services and business cycle sensitivity), financial risk (currency, interest, financing and credit risks) as well as business risk (customer concentration, operational risks, risks in operating expenses as well as contracts and disputes). These risks, together with a sensitivity analysis, are described in detail in the Annual Report 2019.
Since the Annual Report was published the coronavirus outbreak and the measures taken by different governments to prevent it spreading affected Group business negatively during the latter part of the first quarter, during the second quarter and partly during the third quarter. In addition to the already known effects the virus outbreak has an impact on macro financial uncertainty and a decline in financial activity. The extent and duration of this pandemic is unknown, but it is expected to further impact operations going forward.
Apart from the above, since the Annual report was signed, no other circumstances are believed to have caused any significant risks or influenced the way in which the Group works with these compared to the description in the Annual Report 2019.
Seasonal variations
The Group's net sales, and thereby income, are affected by seasonal variations. Historically the fourth quarter has been somewhat stronger than the other quarters.
Transaction with related parties
The following significant transactions with related parties have occurred during the period:
- One of the members of the Board, Erik Gabrielson, is a partner in the law firm Vinge, which provides the company with legal services.
- Related parties to Peter Sommer, previously a member of Group Management and Managing Director of Elanders GmbH, own shares in a property where Elanders GmbH runs most of its operations.
Remuneration is considered on par with the market for all of these transactions.
Events after the balance sheet date
Besides what have been described in this report, no other major events have taken place between the balance sheet date and the date this report was signed.
Forecast
No forecast is given for 2021.
Accounting principles
The quarterly report for the Group has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and for the parent company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act. The same accounting principles and calculation methods as those in the last Annual Report have been used. For the government grants that Elanders received during the reporting period, the accounting principle described below has been applied.
Government grants
Government grants are recognized in the balance sheet as prepaid income when there is reasonable assurance that grants will be received and that Elanders will meet the conditions associated with the grants. Grants are reported as a cost reduction and accrued over the same periods as the related costs that the grant is intended to compensate.

Consolidated Financial Statements
Disaggregation of Revenue
Revenue has been divided into geographic markets, main revenue streams and customer segments since these are the categories the Group uses to present and analyze revenue in other contexts. Revenue for each category is presented per reportable segment. The Group's customer contracts are easy to identify and products and services in a contract are largely connected and dependent on each other, and therefore part of an integrated offer.
Main revenue streams are presented based on the internal names used in the Group. Sourcing & Procurement services refer to the purchase and procurement of products for
FULL YEAR
customers as well as handling the flows connected to these products. Freight and transportation services refer to revenue from freight and transportation with our own trucks as well as pure freight forwarding. Other supply chain services such as fulfilment, kitting, warehousing, assembly and after sales services are presented under Other contract logistics services. Other work/services refer to pure print services and other services that do not fit into any of the first three categories.
Intra-group invoicing regarding group functions is reported net in net sales to group companies.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
The financial instruments recognized at fair value in the Group's report on financial position are derivatives identified as hedging instruments. The derivatives consist of forward contracts and are used for hedging purposes. Valuation
at fair value of forward contracts is based on published forward rates on an active market. All derivates are therefore included in level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Since all the financial instruments recognized at fair value are included in level 2 there have been no transfers between valuation levels.
Derivative instruments in hedge accounting relationships recognized at fair value is presented under other current assets and non-interest bearing short-term liabilities. These items gross are below MSEK 1 both per 31 December 2020 and the comparison periods.
The fair value of other financial assets and liabilities valued at their amortized purchase price is estimated to be equivalent to their book value.
Acquisitions and divestments of operations
In October 2020 Elanders signed a contract to acquire
70 percent of the shares in Azalea Global IT AB. Azalea has net sales of around MSEK 30 annually, good profitability and is specialized in Value Recovery Services. They manage the entire chain from purchasing used IT equipment and restoring and resetting it to then selling it to a network of customers. The acquisition of Azalea is a part of Elanders'
investments within sustainable services that contribute to a circular economy. The acquisition did not have any material effect on net sales or profit during the period. Elanders has an option to acquire the remaining shares in the company which can be used in 2024. The acquisition costs, i.e.
the costs for advisors in connection with the acquisition, amounted to MSEK 0.4.
