CEO review

Profitable growth

Inission continues its trend of profitable growth. Net sales amounted to MSEK 515 (438) with an EBITA margin of 8.8% (6.2%). We are now seeing significantly improved efficiency in our factories, mainly due to improved material supply and that our new empolyees are getting better trained. Due to reduced operating liabilities, the cash flow from operating activities remains at MSEK 7.8 (137.6).

In the comparison quarter, there is a Covid-related tax and VAT deferral of MSEK 119.

The majority of Inission's factories continues to run with high load. Capacity has increased due to growing staffing levels and improved efficiency, and is now in line with demand. Our investments in new machinery and equipment also increase our capacity, efficiency and enhance quality. We also invest in the skills of our employees through the Inission Academy.

Inission

Inission makes a good quarter in terms of net sales and profit, with MSEK 376 (314) in net sales and an EBITA of MSEK 37 (19). The margin exceeds our communicated target for the business area in 2023 but is in line with our mid-term target. Demand from our customers remains strong. The fact that some customers reduce their inventories and thus reduce orders is more than compensated by an increase in others. In total, the order backlog slightly decreased as customers could reduce the time horizon when placing orders, due to shorter lead times for components. However, the order level for the next three months is at record levels. We predict a slower growth rate going forward. Inventories increased marginally and are expected to decrease due to the enhanced capacity and the improved component situation. Our collaboration with Part Development to develop our processes and working methods is proceeding according to plan.

Enedo

Enedo delivered a good quarter in terms of both sales and earnings. Net sales amounted to MSEK 138 (124), a growth of 12% compared to the previous year. EBITA improved to MSEK 8 (0), which gives a margin of 5.8% (0%). A higher production rate and cost control and pricing drove the positive margin development. Continued operational development of the Tunis factory supported the stable performance in the quarter. The order backlog remains at a good level, while the order intake during the quarter was weaker for 2024 deliveries. Research and development for customer-specific solutions continued at a high pace during the third quarter.

Acquisition activities

During the period, we have been involved in a few processes but decided not to proceed. This is mainly because we do not meet sellers' expectations on valuation. We are systematically looking for acquisitions also outside the Nordics, mainly in Northern Germany and Benelux. Our ambition is to grow by around 5% annually through acquisitions. When Enedo has moved further on its transformation journey, we will also start looking for acquisitions in power electronics.

The future

The order backlog remain good. The component situation is becoming a non-issue, although lead times for some components are still long. Material sell-through has returned to normal levels, which slightly improves the profit margin but reduces the organic growth. Inflation has come down in most markets but is still too high. Whether interest rates have leveled off or will increase somewhat further remains to be seen. Our mix of customers and new contracts coming in makes us feel very confident going forward. The megatrends driving growth in our industry remain strong. Inission, with its positioning, proximity, flexibility, and performance, is well-equipped for the future.

INCOME STATEMENT Q3 2023 (TSEK)

Group: Net sales in the quarter amounted to 514 546 (438 008), an increase of 76 538 during the quarter (17.5%). The currency impact on net sales for the period amounts to -537. The high order intake and thus high net sales provide an organic growth of 17.4 excluding currency impact. The change in inventories of work in progress and finished goods amounts to -11 122

(37 358), a decrease of 48 480. Other operating income amounts to 17 (6 702).

The cost of raw materials and consum- ables, together with the change in inventories during the quarter, amounts to 307 570 (275 070), an increase of 11.8%. The materials ratio, including material sales, considering the change in inventories, lands at a slightly lower level compared to the previous year of 59.8% (62.8%). Other external costs for the period amount to 43 913 (32 715), an increase of 34%. Personnel costs amount to 106 477 (80 810), an increase of 32%, mainly linked to higher volume and material supply issues, and thus load balancing. Other operating expenses amount to -6 343 (8 940). Depreciation of fixed assets amounts to 18 598

(20 627).

Overall, this gives an operating profit for the Group of 44 348 (26 548) and a profit after financial items of 33 164 (20 503). Other comprehensive income for the period amounts to -5 547 (741), which gives a total comprehensive

income of 22 334 (18 561). Of the total comprehensive income, 25 810 (228) is attributable to Parent Company owners and 174 (513) to non-controlling interests.

Parent Company: To mitigate the currency impact, Inission AB buys US dollar futures continuously. The Company hedges up to 60% of the Group's future net outflow. In the event of hedging, the hedging instruments are remeasured, and in case of changing exchange rates, at the rate prevailing on the balance sheet date. The value of these futures at the end of the quarter amounted to MSEK 1.7, as opposed to the previous quarter's value of MSEK

1.1. This means that the profit for the period was positively impacted by MSEK 0.5.

BALANCE SHEET SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 (TSEK)

Goodwill amounts to 184 039 (175 015) and the increase relates to changing exchange rates. Other intangible assets amount to 102 726 (101 301) and licenses amount to 2 448 (3 324). The total value of tangible fixed assets has decreased to 85 499 (86 164) related to investments in production equipment less depreciation and changing exchange rates.

Right-of-use assets amount to 246 224 (157 686) and refer to lease agreements, newly signed rental agreements, and changed exchange rates. Financial

assets amount to 3 356 (3 395). Inventories amount to 672 029 (656 667), an increase of 2% compared to the same period last year, and are related to the increasing order intake. Trade receivables have increased to 293 891 (235 528) which means an increase of 25% entirely related to increased deliveries to customers. Total assets thus increased to 1 672 748 (1 511 160), an increase of 11%.

Total equity amounts to 605 430

(435 750), of which non-controlling interests amount to 1 727 (50 143). This gives an equity ratio of 36% (29%). Non-current liabilities have increased to 323 130 (240 533). This means that non-current liabilities have increased by 34%. The increase is mainly related to increased lease liabilities according to IFRS 16 measurement.

Inission has requested tax and VAT deferrals for the Swedish companies under special rules related to the pandemic amounting to 118 834, which are recognized as a current liability. Current liabilities amount to 744 188 (834 878) adjusted for tax and VAT deferrals of 625 354 (716 044), corresponding to a decrease of 13% adjusted for the tax/ VAT deferrals. The change is mainly referring to a reduction in the use of invoice discounting credit and lower trade payables.
