Interim report January - June 2020
CEO comment
Thanks to great efforts from our team, despite COVID-19 and the fact that we are still only starting up our operations in Germany, Q2 2020 was our strongest second quarter to-date.
In Russia/CIS, all business areas contributed to our robust performance without government support and again demonstrated the resilience of our business model. Our new construction equipment unit sales grew despite an overall market decline of 40% and we gained market shares in most product groups. Our premium offering mainly serves a customer base that tends to remain strong and that continue to rely on our services through economic downturns to reach their objectives. Despite widespread restrictions and problems to reach our customers' sites, aftermarket sales grew in local currency as our installed machine population remained utilized. Contracting services continued to deliver at the level reached in H2 2019. Total revenue declined 13% to SEK 958m (5% in RUB). As a result of our cost reduction program, but also of a SEK 11m one- off customs duty recovery, our operating profit increased by 22% to a record SEK 120m.
In Germany, where we service and sell Volvo and Renault Trucks since January 2020, the market for new trucks declined by more than 50% which negatively impacted sales. Demand for service and parts was more stable but also decreased. Revenue amounted to SEK 245m in the quarter with an operating loss of SEK 15m. The ongoing pandemic does not only impact the market but also cause some delays to our efforts to implement new systems and business improvements.
Total revenue for the Group amounted to SEK 1,203m. Despite the negative contribution from Germany, operating profit increased by 7% to SEK 105m, implying an operating margin of 8.7%, above our 6-8% target. Although higher finance costs negatively affected the result, net income grew 4% to SEK 76m. Cash flows from operating activities were strong at SEK 312m as net working capital decreased to 10% of revenue. Net debt declined to SEK 230m or 0.4x EBITDA, putting Ferronordic in an even stronger financial position as we enter 2H 2020.
During the quarter, our organisation faced various degrees of disruption from measures taken by governments, suppliers and customers to deal with COVID-19. While our business adapted and managed these challenges well through the quarter, we recognise that the future remains uncertain. Our focus is the health and safety for our employees and our customers as well as delivering great service to our clients.
In July, business trends seen in Q2 2020 have continued. Looking ahead, we are confident that our business model, which is built on a great team and a robust aftermarket business, will remain resilient. While we expect our markets to decline in 2020, we believe that we may have seen the lows. In a longer perspective, we remain positive as we believe that the underlying fundamentals and business opportunities in our markets are strong.

Interim report January - June 2020
Russia/CIS
As a result of the ongoing pandemic, the market for our main product groups (measured in units) declined by 40% in Q2 2020. Our unit sales however grew by 6% to 296 machines as we almost doubled our market share. Our premium service and product offering is mainly geared towards demanding customers that make long-term investment decisions based on total cost of ownership, productivity and uptime. Such customers tend to be more resistant to economic decline, both in their capex and in their utilisation of their current fleets of machines. We notably gained market share in the excavator segment, which partly is reflected in a 25% (17% in local currency) lower average sales price.
Revenue in the Russia/CIS operations decreased by 13% (5% in local currency) to SEK 958m (SEK 1,100m). Equipment sales declined by 21% (13%), aftermarket sales decreased by 3% (+7%) while contracting services grew by 31% (43%).
Despite higher revenue shares of contracting services and aftermarket sales, the gross margin was largely unchanged at 19.9% (20.1%), partly as a result of lower margins on smaller machines in new machine sales. SG&A declined by SEK 31m (-28%) vs Q2 2019 and by SEK 13m (-14%) vs Q1 2020, partly due to the weaker ruble, but also as a result of the cost reduction program launched in March and of restrictions in operations, limiting travel and marketing. As business normalize, some of these costs will return. As a percent of revenue, SG&A costs declined 1.7pp and 2.7pp vs Q2 2019 and Q1 2020, respectively, to 8.4%. As a result of lower costs, but also due to a SEK 11m one-off customs duty recovery, the operating margin grew by 3.6pp to 12.5% as operating profit increased by 22% to SEK 120m.
Cash flows from operating activities in Russia/CIS were positive as receivables and inventories decreased faster than payables. Net working capital declined from 14% to 11% of revenue. SEK 193m net debt related to the Russia/CIS operations reversed into a SEK 47m net cash position from Q1 2020 to Q2 2020.

During the second quarter, the German market for heavy trucks contracted 54%
Revenue in Germany amounted to SEK 245m, of which 68% related to sales of trucks and 28% to aftermarket sales
Net working capital decreased to SEK 75m and net debt to SEK 280m during the second quarter
Interim report January - June 2020
Germany
In Q2 2020, the German market for heavy trucks, based on registrations, declined by 54% compared to Q2 2019 and by 15% compared to Q1 2020. The sharp decline was partly due to negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the German economy, and partly to a high-base effect from a very strong Q2 2019. The decrease was particularly noticeable in the tractor segment where registrations dropped by 63%, compared to 44% in the rigid segment. Ferronordic's sales area represented approx. 18% of the total German market and declined by 53% in the second quarter. Ferronordic sold 146 new units in Q2 2020, which was 15% less than the 172 units in Q1 2020 as our market share was largely unchanged.
As a result of COVID-19, aftermarket sales saw a decline in March, which set a lower level through the second quarter. However, all workshops remained operational. Plans to implement government backed furlough schemes to reduce shifts and man-hours were only partly employed as demand for service and parts proved more robust than expected in the quarter.
Revenue in Germany amounted to SEK 245m, of which 68% related to sales of trucks, 28% to aftermarket sales and 4% to other revenue, mainly consisting of rental and car sales. Gross margin stood at 6.7%, down from 9.7% in Q1 2020. As a percentage of sales, SG&A costs were 13.3%, up 0,5pp on Q1 2020. The operating margin was -6.1%, compared to -3.5% in Q1 2020 and resulting in an operating loss of SEK -15m.
Cash flows from operating activities in Q2 2020 were positive. Net working capital decreased from SEK 135m at the end of Q1 2020 to SEK 75m, or 7% of annualized revenue. Net debt attributable to Germany decreased from SEK 340m at the end of Q1 2020 to SEK 280m at the end of Q2 2020.
In the first six months of 2020, revenue was SEK 520m with a gross margin of 8.3%. The operating result amounted to SEK -25m, with an operating margin of -4.7%.

Comments on the Group results
The following foreign exchange rates have been used when translating Q2 2020 results to the presentation currency: Average RUB/SEK 7.48 (6.84) and SEK/EUR 10.65 have been used to translate income statements.
End of period RUB/SEK 7.54 (6.80) and SEK/EUR 10.48 have been used to translate balance sheets.
Revenue
In the second quarter of 2020, Group revenue increased by 9% to SEK 1,203m (SEK 1,100m). Revenue in Russia/CIS declined by 13% to SEK 958m and the consolidation of the Group's operations in Germany added revenue of SEK 245m to the Group. The operations in Germany were acquired as assets and business at the end of 2019. Sales of equipment and trucks increased by 1% and aftermarket sales increased by 27%. Revenue from contracting services increased by 30%.
In the first six months of 2020, Group revenue increased by 27% to SEK 2,321m (SEK 1,823m). Revenue in Russia/CIS declined 1% to SEK 1,801m and the consolidation of the Group's operations in Germany added revenue of SEK 520m. Sale of equipment and trucks increased by 21%, aftermarket sales by 33% and contracting services by 46%.
Gross profit and operating profit
The gross margin decreased from 20.1% to 17.2% on the back of a flat gross margin in Russia/CIS (19.9% in 2Q 2020 vs 20.1% in 2Q 2019) and the consolidation of a lower gross margin (6.7%) in Germany. As a net result of lower margin on higher revenues, gross profit in Q2 2020 decreased by 6% to SEK 207m (SEK 221m) compared to Q2 2019.
As percentage of revenue, SG&A (Selling, General and Administrative) expenses decreased from 10.1% in Q2 2019 to 9.4% in Q2 2020. Lower SG&A were a result of efforts in March and Q2 2020 to cut costs in the face of the market and business uncertainty related to the outbreak of COVID-19. Such cost cuts included headcount and temporary voluntary salary reductions, furlough schemes and provisional rent reduction. Cost reduction was however also an effect of the restrictions as travel and marketing activities were postponed. As markets gradually open up and if our markets recover, some of these costs will return.
Despite the lower gross profit and a SEK 15m operating loss in Germany, the consolidated operating profit for the second quarter increased 7% to SEK 105m (SEK 98m). The higher operating profit was a result of the lower cost base in Russia/CIS but also of a one-off SEK 11m recovery of customs duty. The consolidated operating margin during the quarter decreased from 8.9% to 8.7%, as a higher margin in Russia/CIS of 12.5%

was offset by the consolidation of a lower operating margin of - 6.1% in Germany.
During the first six months of 2020, the gross profit increased by 6% to SEK 389m (SEK 367m). The gross margin decreased from 20.1% in H1 2019 to 16.8% in H1 2020 as a result of lower gross margin in Russia/CIS and the consolidation of a lower gross margin (8.3%) in Germany. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A decreased from 10.8% to 10.4%, as lower costs in Russia/CIS (10.8% to 9.7%) were partly offset a higher cost/revenue ratio at 13.0% in Germany. The operating result during the first six months compared to the same period last year increased 1% to SEK 156m (SEK 154m), despite of an operating loss in Germany of SEK 25m. The consolidated operating margin declined from 8.4% to 6.7%, as a higher margin in Russia/CIS of 10.0% was offset by a lower margin of -4.7% in Germany.
Result
As a result of debt used to fund the acquisition of the German operations in Q4 2019, as well as the consolidation of debt in the acquired business in Germany, and of precautionary liquidity measures that increased gross debt in Russia/CIS, net finance costs increased from SEK 10m to SEK 15m in Q2 2020. As a result of the weaker ruble, foreign exchange gains (net) were SEK 3m in Q2 2020 compared to foreign exchange gains (net) of SEK 4m in Q2 2019. The result before income tax for the quarter was largely unchanged from Q2 2019 and amounted to SEK 92m (SEK 92m). The net result for the quarter increased by 4% to SEK 76m (SEK 73m) as a result of consolidation of tax benefits on losses in Germany.
During the first six months of 2020, the result before income tax decreased 19% to SEK 122m (SEK 151m). The net result for Russia/CIS increased 2% to SEK 121m but the Group net income decreased 19% to SEK 96m (SEK 119m) due to the consolidation of a SEK 25m net loss from the operations in Germany.
Earnings per share
Earnings per share for the second quarter amounted to SEK 5.24 (SEK 5.03).
Earnings per share during the first six months amounted to SEK 6.64 (SEK 8.21).
Cash flows
Cash flows from operating activities increased to SEK 312m (SEK -313m) during the quarter. The positive cash flows was mainly a result of a decrease in net working capital from SEK 660m to SEK 476m during the quarter. The reduction in working capital was a result of lower inventory and lower receivables compared to Q1 2020, partly offset by lower payables. In Russia/CIS, inventory decreased on higher sales

Interim report January - June 2020
than new purchases in Q2 2020. Receivables decreased mainly on better cash collections in 2Q 2020, and partly due to collection of receivables that were rolled over from Q1 2020. In the German operations, inventory decreased as we reduced the stock position assumed from Volvo in Q1 2020, including the trucks inventory, which was part of the transactions agreed in Q4 2019. Stronger cash flows from operations were supported by lower income tax but offset by higher interest paid.
Cash flows from investing activities in Q2 2020 amounted to SEK -22m (SEK -34m). The decrease was mainly due to lower acquisition of property, plant and equipment compared to Q2 2019 and partly a result of a deliberate reduction of capex to strengthen the Group's financial position given a more uncertain outlook. In Q2 2019, investments mostly related to machines in contracting services and service vans for mechanics.
Interest received in Q2 2020 was higher compared to Q2 2019 due to a higher cash position.
Cash flows from operating activities during the first six months increased to SEK 413m (SEK -428m) on the back of lower net working capital compared to the end of 2019. Cash flows from investing activities amounted to SEK -27m (SEK -53m), as acquisitions of property, plant and equipment, and mainly machines for contracting services, were lower than in in the first six months of 2019. In Russia, SEK 307m were released from working capital in the first half of 2020 and net working capital as a percentage of revenue declined from 19% at the end of 2019 to 11% at the end of the second quarter. The build-up of working capital in the second half of 2019, which was partly related to Ferronordic assuming responsibility of importation of machines and parts from Volvo, was thus partly reversed in the first half of 2020.
Financial position
At 30 June 2020, cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 733m, an increase of SEK 214m from to the end of 2019 and SEK 95m from the end of the first quarter. The higher cash balance partly reflected stronger cash flows from operations and lower investments, but also a draw down on credit facilities available to the Group to increase the Group's liquidity position.
Interest-bearing liabilities (including lease liabilities and effects of IFRS-16) at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 963m, a decrease of SEK 149m compared to the end of 2019. The decrease was mainly due to repayment of part of loans in Russia/CIS, partly offset by borrowings used to fund the operations in Germany. Interest bearing liabilities also include liabilities in the German operations amounting to SEK 86m that were transferred from payables to borrowings, during the first six months of 2020. As such transfers were non-cash, they are not reflected in cash flows.
Net debt declined from SEK 593m at the end of 2019 to SEK 230m in Q2 2020.
7
Equity at 30 June 2020 amounted to SEK 883m
The number of full-time equivalent employees at the end of Q2 2020 was 1,352
The parent company's result for the quarter increased to SEK 1m (SEK -12m)
Interim report January - June 2020
Property, plant and equipment decreased by SEK 118m during the quarter from SEK 700m to SEK 582m, mainly as an effect of translation following the weakening of the Russian ruble, but also due to depreciation in the amount of SEK 94m. The main additions included right-of-use assets related to the business in Germany in the amount of SEK 30m.
Equity at 30 June 2020 amounted to SEK 883m, a decrease of SEK 7m compared to 31 December 2019. The decrease, despite the positive result, was mainly a result of negative balance sheet translation differences following the 12% depreciation of the Russian ruble over the quarter. The translation loss during the first six months amounted to SEK 104m
Employees
At the end of Q2 2020, the number of full-time equivalent employees was 1,352, of which 1,090 related to Russia/CIS, 250 to Germany and 12 occupied group functions. At the end of 2Q 2019, the number of full-time equivalent employees was 1,146. At the end of 2019, the number of full-time equivalent employees was 1,239, of which 1,189 related to the Russia/CIS and 50 to Germany. The 99 headcount reduction in Russia/CIS was a net result of increased headcount in contracting services and component rebuild but decreased in central and other functions.
Parent company
During the second quarter, the revenue of the parent company increased to SEK 31m (SEK 25m) due to higher intra-group sales from the parent to its subsidiaries. Administrative expenses increased to SEK 6m (SEK 3m), mainly as a result of professional services, travel, taxes and staff changes. The result for the quarter increased to SEK 1m (SEK -12m), mainly due to foreign exchange gains (net) of SEK 1m in Q2 2020 compared to foreign exchange losses (net) of SEK -12m in Q2 2019.
During the first six months the revenue of the parent company increased to SEK 73m (SEK 62m). Administrative expenses amounted to SEK 13m (SEK 6m). The result amounted to SEK -5m (SEK -7m).
Risks and uncertainties
As described in the 2019 annual report, Ferronordic is exposed to a number of risks. Some of these risks have intensified as a result of the outbreak and spread of COVID-19. There have been no significant changes to what was stated in the 2019 annual report. The parent company is indirectly subject to the same risks and uncertainties as the Group.
8
The integration of Ferronordic's business in Germany is ongoing
Interim report January - June 2020
Changes in management
On 9 July 2020, it was announced that Ceren Wende had been appointed Director of Marketing and Communications, starting 3 August. Since 2015, Ceren has worked with marketing and communication in leading positions in Volvo Trucks with a special focus on developing the Group's digital marketing strategy. Ceren will report directly to Ferronordic's CEO, Lars Corneliusson.
Expansion to Germany
Ferronordic started operations in Germany on 1 January 2020. While Ferronordic acquired partly existing organisations and infrastructure from the Volvo Group and Auto-Haas (a private Volvo and Renault trucks dealer in Ferronordic's area of operations), significant resources are invested to integrate these structures into the Group's organisation and processes and to implement Group systems and standards. Ferronordic sees opportunities to grow the market share of Volvo Trucks and Renault Trucks in its area and expects Ferronordic's share of the total aftermarket sales in the area to increase over time. As the aftermarket sales increases, the profitability of the new business is expected to improve. As a result of the business disruption caused by the outbreak of COVID-19, it is possible that the planned changes and improvements will take longer than previously estimated.
Major events
On 11 March 2020, WHO declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic. From mid-March, authorities have issued recommendations and regulations to restrict movement and social contacts in order to contain the spread of the virus. Governments have launched initiatives to support businesses and protect their economies. Companies, including our suppliers, competitors and customers, are taking measures to adapt to an uncertain operating environment. While our markets gradually started to open up in the end of Q2 2020, the path of the virus and the measures to halt it cannot be predicted and we cannot exclude further supply or demand side disruption in our business.
Events after the reporting date
The Russian Central Bank continued to ease monetary policy. On July 24, the key rate was lowered by another 0.25% to 4.25%, compared to 6.25% at the end of 2019.
In Germany, as of July 1, VAT was temporarily lowered from 19% to 16% and 7% to 5% (reduced) respectively to support demand during the COVID-19 crisis.
9
In a longer perspective, we remain positive
Interim report January - June 2020
Except as described elsewhere in this report, no events have occurred after the reporting date that require disclosure in the financial statements.
Outlook
The outbreak and the measures to contain the spread of COVID- 19 have caused great uncertainty across our markets. For the rest of 2020, we may continue to face various degrees of disruption in supply, demand and customer interfacing.
Looking ahead, we are confident that our business model, which is built on a great team and a robust aftermarket business, will remain resilient. While we expect our markets to decline in 2020, we believe that we may have seen the lows. In a longer perspective, we remain positive as we believe that the underlying fundamentals and business opportunities in our markets are strong.

Interim report January - June 2020
Basis of presentation and summary of significant accounting policies
1. Accounting Policies
Ferronordic applies the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. This report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and recommendation RFR 2 (only parent company), issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board.
Ferronordic has changed its accounting policies in respect of operating segments. For details please see Note 1 Operational segments and revenue.
Other new or revised standards that come into effect 2020 or later are not expected to have any significant effect on Ferronordic's financial statements.
Except as described above, the same accounting and valuation principles were applied in the preparation of this report as in the preparation of the 2019 annual report (with regard to the 2019 financial year).
2. Determination of fair values
The basis for determination of fair value of financial assets and liabilities is disclosed in note 5 in the 2019 annual report. The fair values of the Group's financial assets and liabilities approximate their respective carrying amounts.
3. Seasonal Variations
Ferronordic's revenue and earnings are affected by seasonal variations in the construction industry in Russia/CIS. Q1 is typically the weakest for sales of machines as activity in construction projects is constrained during the winter months. On the other hand, the demand in aftermarket (sales of parts and services) is usually strong since many customers use the quiet period to service their machines. This is usually followed by an increase during Q2 as contracts start to be put out for tender and customers prepare for the more active summer period. Q3 tends to be slower with regard to both machine sales and aftermarket. In Q4, activity usually strengthens as customers make year-end capital spending decisions. In Germany, seasonal trends are less significant.
4. Ferronordic AB (publ)
Ferronordic AB (publ) and its subsidiaries are sometimes referred to as the Group or Ferronordic. Ferronordic AB (publ) is also sometimes referred to as the company or Ferronordic. Any mentioning of the Board is a reference to the Board of Directors of Ferronordic AB (publ).

Interim report January - June 2020
Notes
1. Operational segments and revenue
- Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker (CODM). The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing financial performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Group Executive Management Team. Until 2019, the Group had one reportable segment: Equipment Distribution. Starting from Q1 2020, and following the Group's expansion of its operations to Germany, the Group recognises two separate reportable segments: Russia/CIS and Germany. The new segments are partly managed separately due to differences in markets, logistics, supply chains, products, customers and marketing strategies. For each segment, the Group's management reviews internal reports on at least a monthly basis. Russia/CIS comprises of sales of new and used construction and other equipment, aftermarket sales, rental, contracting services and other services in Russia and CIS (the Commonwealth of Independent States), currently in Russia and Kazakhstan.

Certain key rations in Ferronordic's interim reports are not defined according to IFRS. The company considers these ratios to provide valuable supplementary information for investors and the company's management as they enable the assessment of relevant trends.
