INTERIM REPORT  
1 JANUARY – 31 MARCH 2023

===== SIDA 2 =====

“Addnode Group started 2023 strongly, with robust growth 
and improved EBITA. Demand is good on most of our mar-
kets. Net sales were up by 49 per cent to SEK 1,972 m, and 
currency-adjusted organic growth amounted to 19 per cent.”
ROBUST GROWTH AND IMPROVED EBITA
FIRST QUARTER 2023
Addnode Group started 2023 strongly, with robust growth 
and improved EBITA. Net sales were up by 49 per cent to 
SEK 1,972 m, and currency-adjusted organic growth 
amounted to 19 per cent. The organic growth is still driven 
by good demand for our digital solutions from architects, 
technical consultants and within manufacturing, construc-
tion and property management industry as well as the pub-
lic sector. Demand is good in most of our geographical 
markets.
EBITA, adjusted for capital gains from a property sale 
last year, increased by 29 per cent to SEK 202 m. EBITA 
margin was lower than previous year primarily due to sales 
from third-party solutions which showed stronger growth 
than other revenue types.
Net sales growth in our Design Management division 
was 72 per cent, and currency-adjusted organic growth 
was 25 per cent. In this division, Symetri and Microdesk 
were the growth drivers of net sales and earnings thanks 
to continued strong demand for Autodesk products 
backed by our proprietary software and services in both 
Europe and the USA.
The Product Lifecycle Management division reported 
currency-adjusted organic growth of 13 per cent. Demand, 
and thus growth, was especially positive in the UK and 
USA. In Germany, the demand situation remained stable. 
In the Nordics, we have faced challenges in the capacity 
utilisation of our consulting organisation, which had a neg-
ative impact on our earnings. Work on increasing organi -
sational efficiency is ongoing within the division.
Once again, our Process Management division is report-
ing good organic growth, at 10 per cent. Demand in the 
division’s offerings in case management and GIS for  
Sweden’s public sector remains strong.
A GROWTH PLATFORM FOR ENTREPRENEURS
Addnode Group acquires and supports entrepreneur-led 
companies with strategic competence, financial resources 
and M&A expertise. Together, we create profitable and 
sustainable growth.
We’ve made two complementary acquisition so far this 
year. FAST2 develops ERP systems for municipal housing 
corporations, and is a supplementary acquisition for  
Service Works Global. Key Performance consolidates 
TECHNIA’s offering in model-based design.
Our pipeline of acquisition candidates in Europe and 
the USA is still well filled. Addnode Group’s relation -
ship-based acquisition process, combined with our finan -
cial strength, means we can keep growing through care -
fully selected acquisitions. 
STRATEGY AND POSITIONING FOR CONTINUED VALUE 
CREATION 
The general economic situation is uncertain, and we are 
paying attention to how this might affect us. Our strong 
positioning in segments with underlying structural growth, 
a diversified business in terms of geographies and cus -
tomer base, plus a business model with a high share of 
recurring revenues means we have good potential for con-
tinued value creation. I’m very confident that Addnode 
Group will continue to deliver profitable, sustainable 
growth.

ABOUT ADDNODE GROUP
STRATEGY
Addnode Group acquires, operates and develops cutting 
edge enterprises that digitalise society. We create sustain-
able value growth over time by continuously acquiring 
new enterprises and actively supporting our subsidiaries 
to drive organic earnings growth. 
THREE DIVISIONS
Addnode Group’s subsidiaries are organised into three 
divisions: Design Management, Product Lifecycle  
Management and Process Management. A decentralised 
business model means that business-critical decisions are 
made close to customers and markets.
FINANCIAL TARGETS
• Annual net sales growth of at least 10 per cent. 
• Operating margin before amortisation and impairment 
of intangible assets (EBITA margin) shall be at least 10 
per cent.
• 30-50 per cent of the Group’s profit after tax to be dis-
tributed to shareholders, providing liquidity and the net 
cash position are sufficient to operate and develop the 
business. See also page 5.
MARKET POSITION
Addnode Group consists of approximately 20 companies, 
active in 19 countries across four continents. The 
employee headcount is approximately 2,500. 
The Group is one of Europe’s market-leading providers 
of software and services for design and construction, 
product data information, project collaboration and facil -
ity management. The Group is also a leading provider of 
digital solutions for design and construction in the USA.  
Addnode Group is also a leading provider of document 
and case management systems for Sweden’s public 
authorities.
SUSTAINABILITY AGENDA
The digital solutions we develop in close partnership with 
our customers help create a more sustainable society. Our 
solutions are used for sustainable and resource-efficient 
design and product lifecycle management, simulations 
that benefit the environment and health, and better 
engagement and dialogue with the public.
Addnode Group’s Sustainability Agenda defines five 
focus areas that are the foundation of the Group’s collec -
tive commitment to sustainability. We have defined key 
indicators for each focus area that we monitor and report 
each year in Addnode Group’s Annual Report.

DIGITAL SOLUTIONS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO  
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
FIRE SAFETY PLANNING WITH DIGITAL BIM PROCESSES
Brandskyddslaget is Sweden’s leading fire safety consult -
ants, and the company is now investing in digitalising fire 
safety and project planning work using BIM processes. 
Addnode Group’s subsidiary Symetri, in its Design Man -
agement division, is supporting Brandskyddslaget on 
implementing Bimfire Tools, a fire safety planning applica-
tion developed in-house. Bimfire Tools associates informa-
tion with items in a digital design model, reducing the 
number of planning errors. Some design components are 
not visible on 2D representations, such as mezzanines and 
roof spaces, which often means they are not discovered 
before site inspections, causing delays and extra cost. The 
3D modelling technology of the BIM process enables these 
design components to be identified and rectified in real 
time, generating significant time and cost savings for pro-
jects. This also means fewer errors during the design 
MORE EFFICIENT PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT WITH 
FEWER FAULTS AND SUPERIOR QUALITY
Addnode Group’s subsidiary TECHNIA, in its Product Life-
cycle Management division, is supporting Helix on imple -
menting Dassault Systemès’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
For over 20 years, Helix has been developing some of 
the most powerful and efficient power trains in motor -
sport. As the vehicle industry electrifies, the company has 
taken its skills forward, and is now a leading manufacturer 
of electrical power trains for electric and hybrid vehicles.
Helix’s leading position means that they have a need to 
constantly improve quality and  continuously develop its 
products and processes. To streamline its working meth -
ods and improve the management of change processes, 
Helix has been collaborating with TECHNIA to implement, 
upgrade and maintain its software platform,  
3DEXPERIENCE.
By deploying advanced simulation earlier in the design 
DIGITAL DOSAGE DELIVERY SYSTEMS FOR BETTER 
HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT
Addnode Group’s subsidiary Canella, in its Process Man -
agement division, has developed the digital delivery sys -
tem, Candos, for dosage dispensation of pharmaceuticals. 
The system is used by Apoteket, Sweden’s nationwide 
pharmacy chain, plus many other pharmacies and hospi -
tals across Sweden. Canella integrates Candos with other 
client systems, such as financial, warehousing and POS 
systems. Dose dispensation means medicines are distrib -
uted in sachets labelled with consumption dates and tim -
ings. This distribution method eliminates the need for drug 
packaging and portioning tablets manually.
Sachets is a vital tool for increasing patient safety. Dos-
age pouches labelled with clear instructions reduce the 
risk of human error by patients and the healthcare sector. 
Medicines administered at the wrong time, or in incorrect 
doses, can be hazardous for the patient and compromise 
treatment outcomes.
More efficient consumption of resources and environ -
phase, less waste from the construction phase, and less 
risk of fire hazards throughout the building’s lifecycle.
process, Helix has also been able to deliver still more opti-
mal design solutions, ensuring it can also satisfy sustaina-
ble manufacturing and performance 
standards.
Finally, the imple -
mentation of   
3DEXPERIENCE has 
also helped simplify 
and streamline inter-
nal collaborative pro-
cesses within Helix, 
so it can satisfy cus -
tomer needs for 
component materi -
als, weight and 
power, for example.
mental gains are other benefits realised by dose dispensa-
tion. Doses are dispensed at the precise volume the 
patient needs, meaning fewer drug 
packages are opened but not fully 
consumed, offering 
an environmental 
gain because the risk 
of inappropriate dis -
posal of unwanted 
pharmaceuticals  
reduces. The Swed -
ish Medical Products 
Agency estimates 
that 1,500 tons of 
pharmaceuticals are 
disposed of in Swe -
den every year, with 
250 tons of this total 
flushed down toilets 
or discarded in waste bins.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2023
 
Acquisition of FAST2 Affärsystem  
In January 2023, Addnode Group acquired all the shares 
of FAST2 Affärsystem AB (FAST2), with net sales of 
approximately SEK 80 m. This company is Sweden’s lead-
ing provider of ERP systems for technical and financial 
management for real estate companies. The company’s 
systems are used by customers including Sweden’s largest 
public housing corporations. FAST2 is now part of  
Service Works Global, and was consolidated into the

Product Lifecycle Management division.
Addnode Group moves up to Large Cap
On 2 January 2023, Addnode Group transferred to the 
Large Cap segment of Nasdaq Stockholm. Large Cap con-
stituent companies have market capitalisation of over  
EUR 1 billion.
Amended dividend policy and proposed dividend
Addnode Group’s Board of Directors decided to amend its 
current dividend policy, from a dividend to shareholders 
of at least 50 per cent of the Group’s profit after tax to 
30-50 per cent of the Group’s profit after tax, providing 
that liquidity and the financial position are sufficient to 
operate and develop the business. The purpose of this 
amendment is to safeguard flexibility and financial scope 
for continued growth, consistent with the current strategy. 
The Board is proposing that the Annual General Meeting 
2023 increases the dividend by SEK 0.25 per share to  
SEK 1.00 per share for the financial year 2022.

FIRST QUARTER, JANUARY–MARCH 2023
Addnode Group started 2023 with strong growth of net 
sales and earnings.
   Net sales increased to SEK 1,972 m (1,326), growth of 
49 per cent. Organic growth was 22 per cent, while cur -
rency-adjusted organic growth was 19 per cent.
   The demand for Design Management’s digital solu -
tions remained high. Customers demonstrated good will -
ingness to invest, especially in the UK and USA. Product 
Lifecycle Management continued to experience good 
demand for PLM systems and related services in the UK 
and Germany. However, the Nordic business was nega -
tively impacted by low capacity utilisation in its consulting 
organisation. Process Management’s organic growth 
remained positive, corroborating the leadership status of 
the division’s offering to Sweden’s public sector.
  Licence revenue increased to SEK 80 m (69), recurring 
revenue increased to SEK 1,428 m (910), service revenue 
increased to SEK 433 m (327), and other revenue 
increased to SEK 31 m (20). The share of recurring reve -
nue increased to 72 per cent (69).
  EBITA increased to SEK 202 m (180), while the EBITA 
margin narrowed to 10.2 per cent (13.6). In the previous 
year, EBITA included a SEK 24 m capital gain from the sale 
of a property. Excluding the property sale, EBITA would 
have been SEK 156 m, and the adjusted EBITA margin 
would have been 11.8 per cent. Accordingly, EBITA for the 
first quarter of 2023 increased by 29 per cent on the 
adjusted EBITA for the previous year. The lower EBITA 
margin in the first quarter of 2023 was mainly due to a 
lower gross profit margin.
  Net financial items were SEK -13 m (-1), mainly related 
to increased interest rate levels. Profit for the period was 
SEK 104 m (106). Earnings per share were SEK 0.78 (0.79).
Cash flow from operating activities increased to SEK 
269 m (242).

PROGRESS IN THE QUARTER
Net sales increased to SEK 1,213 m (707) in the first quar-
ter of 2023, growth of 72 per cent. Organic growth was 28 
per cent, and 25 per cent currency adjusted. Demand for 
the division’s digital solutions and services remained high, 
as reflected in significant organic growth of net sales and 
earnings.
Symetri’s operation in the USA, Microdesk, acquired on 
1 March 2022, continued to perform well due to positive 
demand in the AEC segment. Demand for  
Symetri’s offering in Europe remained good, especially on 
the UK market. Some signs of a slowdown were apparent 
on the Nordic AEC market, while demand from manufac -
turing remained positive. 
Tribia, providing collaborative portals for construction 
and civil engineering, and SWG, providing digital solutions 
for facility management, made good progress.
EBITA was up by 47 per cent to SEK 131 m (89). The 
EBITA margin reduced to 10.8 per cent (12.6) mainly 
because Symetri and Microdesk continued to win market 
shares, and the revenue mix changed, with a higher reve -
nue share from third-party solutions.
At the end of March 2023, Symetri’s and Microdesk’s 
partner Autodesk altered its invoicing and payment terms 
for software contracts lasting over more than one year. 
Payments, both from customers and to Autodesk, are now 
annual even if customer sign three-year agreements. This 
will have an initial effect on cashflow. As currently, revenue 
and costs for the entire contract value will continue to be 
recognised when the contract commences.

DIVISION 
PRODUCT LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT
Product Lifecycle Management is a global provider of solutions for digitalising a product’s 
or facility’s complete lifecycle—from idea, design, simulation and construction to sale, after-
market and recycling. For our customers this means shorter lead-times, more innovation, 
increased efficiency, and traceability.
PROGRESS IN THE QUARTER
Net sales increased to SEK 433 m (338) in the first quarter 
of 2023, growth of 28 per cent. Organic growth was 18 per 
cent, and 13 per cent currency adjusted. The UK and US 
businesses experienced continued positive demand, as 
reflected in significant organic growth of net sales and 
earnings. In Germany, demand was stable, while the mar -
ket in the Nordics was somewhat weaker. The trend of 
customers increasingly demanding time-finite leasing of 
licenses instead of the previous license purchases with 
perpetual right of use continued.
The Nordic consulting operation was negatively 
impacted by low capacity utilisation. Work on improving 
the organisation’s efficiency is ongoing. A few of the oper-
ations acquired over the past year also have lower profita-
bility than the division’s other businesses. Integration work 
is continuing according to plan, with the aim of lifting 
profitability.
EBITA reduced to SEK 26 m (34), and the EBITA margin 
decreased to 6.0 per cent (10.1).
ACQUISITIONS
The division added the acquisition of Key Performance, 
with operations in the USA and Sweden, to its digital twin 
offering in the first quarter of the year. This company has 
sales of SEK 25 m, and specialises in consulting services, 
software and training in MBD for the public and private 
sectors. 
MARKET
The division’s operations are conducted through the com-
pany TECHNIA, which is one of Europe’s leading providers 
of PLM software and related consulting services. Custom-
ers’ willingness to invest is driven by the need to develop 
and design products, maintain product information through 
complete lifecycles and comply with regulatory standards.

PROCESS MANAGEMENT
Process Management is a leading provider of digital solutions to the public sector in Sweden. 
Its solutions streamline case management, simplify administration and quality-assure pro-
cesses in contacts between the authorities and the public.
PROGRESS IN THE QUARTER
Net sales increased to SEK 335 m (288) in the first quarter 
of 2023, growth of 16 per cent. Organic growth remained 
good at 10 per cent. This is despite municipalities and 
public authorities showing some restraint in terms of 
investment. The division’s positive and established rela -
tionships with a large public sector customer base, fre -
quently present opportunities for recurring sales, or the 
expansion of current assignments. Additionally, the divi -
sion’s businesses are well positioned in public sector ten -
ders owing to their attractive digital solutions, in-depth 
experience and good references. The division is continu -
ing to invest in enhancing its customer offerings. Decisive, 
acquired in June 2022, and a leading provider of rule-
based digital decision management systems for the Nor -
wegian public sector, experienced continued positive 
demand.
EBITA increased to SEK 64 m (60), and the EBITA mar -
gin was 19.1 per cent (20.8).
MARKET
The division is a leading provider of software and digital 
solutions for the public sector. The division has operations 
in Sweden and Norway. Customers’ willingness to invest is 
driven by automation, simplified administration and more 
effective communication with the public. A growing base 
of public authorities and municipalities are seeking to 
partner for the long term in their efforts to develop inno -
vative operations compliant with regulatory requirements.

In the first quarter of 2023, Addnode Group acquired all the 
shares of two operations; FAST2 Affärsystem AB (FAST2) 
and Key Performance LLC. In the first quarter 2023, these 
acquisitions contributed to net sales of SEK 20 m, while 
their impact on EBITA was marginal. If the acquisitions 
were effective 1 January 2023, the Group’s net sales would 
have been approx. SEK 1,977 m and EBITA approx. SEK 
203 m. SEK -1 m (-12) of expenses for completing the 
acquisitions are included in the Group’s other external 
costs. In the previous year, transaction expenses related 
mainly to the acquisition of Microdesk.
FAST2, acquired in January 2023, is one of Sweden’s 
leading providers of ERP systems for technical and finan -
cial management for real estate companies. The compa -
ny’s systems are used by customers including  
Sweden’s largest public housing corporations. The com -
pany has approx. 50 employees, and net sales of approx. 
SEK 80 m. FAST2 is part of Service Works Global, and was 
consolidated into the Design Management division effec -
tive January 2023.
Key Performance, acquired in March 2023, is a Dassault 
Systèmes Partner specialising in model-based design

ADDNODE GROUP 12INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY — 31 MARCH 2023
CONSOLIDATED  BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL POSITION
Cash and cash equivalents held by the Group amounted 
to SEK 746 m (668) as of 31 March 2023.
  Addnode Group’s SEK 1,600 m credit facility arranged 
in June 2021 has a three-year term with 1+1 year exten -
sion. In June 2022, Addnode Group exercised its option to 
extend the credit facility by one year to June 2025, with 
other terms & conditions unchanged.
  SEK 943 m (965) of the credit facility had been utilised 
as of 31 March 2023, which meant available credit of SEK 
657 m (635). The used portion of the credit facility has 
been classified under non-current liabilities.
  SEK 187 m (183) of the interest-bearing liabilities, in 
addition to the utilised portion of the credit facility of SEK 
943 m (965), related to leases. There were no inter -
est-bearing liabilities related to completed acquisitions. 
Consequently, the Group’s total interest-bearing liabilities 
were SEK 1,130 m (1,149), and the Group’s net debt was 
SEK 381 m (481). The equity/assets ratio was 35 per cent 
(34).
  Non-interest-bearing liabilities related to completed 
acquisitions were SEK 11 m (81), and estimated contin -
gent considerations for completed acquisitions were SEK 
375 m (237). A total of SEK 370 m of provisions and liabil-
ities for acquisitions completed in 2022 or earlier are 
included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
  
CASH FLOW
Cash flow from operating activities for the first quarter of 
2023 increased to SEK 269 m (242). The increase related 
mainly to improved operating profit. Cash flow from 
investing activities includes payments for proprietary 
software of SEK 34 m (27). In the previous year, cash flow 
from investing activities included the proceeds from the 
sale of a property in the UK. Investments in subsidiaries 
and operations meant a negative cash flow of SEK 113 m 
(296), of which SEK 46 m was settlement of a promissory 
note to the sellers of the shares of Microdesk. Financing 
activities were negatively impacted by SEK 26 m (20) of 
amortisation of a lease liability. Bank loans of SEK 64 m 
(304) were arranged in tandem with settling debt for 
acquisitions. SEK 8 m (-) of bank loans were repaid in the 
first quarter of 2023. 
INVESTMENTS AND DIVESTMENTS
SEK 59 m (55) of investments were made in intangible 
assets and property, plant and equipment, of which SEK 
34 m (27) related to proprietary software.
In January 2022, Addnode Group sold the office prop -
erty in Enfield, UK, which was included in the acquisition 
of Excitech in 2020 and intended for sale at the time of 
acquisition. Addnode Group’s capital gain was SEK 24 m.
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Group’s carrying amount of goodwill was SEK 2,716 
m (2,468) on 31 March 2023. Other intangible assets 
amounted to SEK 749 m (684), mainly customer con -
tracts, trademarks and software. 
DEFERRED TAX ASSETS 
Deferred tax assets were SEK 19 m (65) as of 31 March 
2023, of which SEK 6 m (11) were tax-loss carry-forwards. 
As of 31 March 2023, the Group’s total loss carry-forwards 
were approximately SEK 65 m (95). 
SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Equity as of 31 March 2023 was SEK 2,099 m (1,812), 
equivalent to SEK 15.72 (13.55) per outstanding share.
SHARE CAPITAL AND INCENTIVE PROGRAMMES
Share capital was SEK 404 m at the end of the period. The 
quotient value per share was SEK 3.00.

ADDNODE GROUP 13INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY — 31 MARCH 2023
OTHER DISCLOSURES
EMPLOYEES
The average number of employees of the Group increased 
to 2,334 (1,929). As of 31 March 2023, there were 2,467 
employees (2,370 as of 31 December 2022). Essentially, 
this increase was from acquired operations.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In the first quarter of 2023, Chairman Staffan Hanstorp 
invoiced the Parent Company SEK 0.7 m (0.7) in fees for 
consulting services related to acquisitions, financing mat-
ters and other strategic issues via a company.
SEASONALITY
Historically, the fourth quarter has the highest revenue and 
EBITA, but as the recurring revenue share increases, sea -
sonality is reducing.
PARENT COMPANY
Net sales were SEK 3 m (3) in the first quarter of 2023, 
mainly invoicing to subsidiaries for premises rent and ser-
vices rendered. Profit after financial items was SEK -35 m 
(-21) including SEK - m (44) of dividends from subsidiar -
ies, and SEK - m (-45) of impairment of shares in subsidi -
aries. Cash and cash equivalents were SEK 543 m (471) as 
of 31 March 2023. Investments in shares in subsidiaries 
were SEK 63 m (72). There were no significant invest -
ments in intangible assets or property, plant and equip -
ment. 
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General
This Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with 
IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The consolidated 
accounts have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as 
endorsed by the EU, and the Swedish Annual Accounts 
Act. The Parent Company’s accounts have been prepared 
in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act, and RFR 2 
Accounting for Legal Entities. Amendments and interpre-
tations of existing standards first effective in 2023 had no 
impact on the Group’s financial position or financial state-
ments. The accounting policies and calculation methods 
are unchanged since the Annual Report for 2022.
Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets attributable to tax loss carry-forwards 
are reported as assets to the extent it is likely that they 
can be offset against surpluses in future taxation.
Disclosures on financial instruments
Estimated contingent considerations on the acquisition of 
Microdesk have been discounted. Measurement of finan -
cial assets and liabilities shows no significant difference 
between carrying amounts and fair value. The Group had 
no outstanding currency forward contracts on 31 March 
2023.
Stock option programme
The Group’s incentive programme enables senior execu -
tives to acquire Class B shares by investing in call options. 
Call option premiums received, measured at market value 
at the acquisition date, are recognised in equity as trans -
actions with owners.
SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Addnode Group’s significant risks and uncertainties are 
stated on pp. 28-30 and 35 of the Annual Report for 2022, 
under “Risks and uncertainties” on p. 69-70, as well as 
notes 36 and 37 on pp. 109–112.
The Group’s operations are diversified over offerings, 
customer segments and geography, which implies risk 
diversification. This is a proven strength in challenging 
times like the Covid-19 pandemic.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
The Board of Directors has not altered its assessment of 
Addnode Group’s long-term outlook since the preceding 
quarter. In the Year-end Report for 2022, the Board of 
Directors stated the following outlook: In the long-term, 
Addnode Group regards the segments where it is active to 
have strong underlying potential. Addnode Group’s 
growth strategy is to grow organically and by acquiring 
new businesses in the aim of adding new, complementary 
offerings and additional expertise.
  The Russian invasion of Ukraine has had impacts on the 
global economy including increased oil and energy prices, 
supply chain delays and turmoil on global stock markets. 
Addnode Group has no operations in Russia, Belarus or 
the Ukraine. The Group has only a small number of cus -
tomers in the region, so its exposure is very limited. 
Because it is not possible to predict the duration or scope 
of the conflict and its impact on the global economy and 
general security, the Board of Directors notes a significant 
risk that Addnode Group may be impacted financially in 
2023.
  Addnode Group is retaining its decision not to issue a 
forecast.
PROPOSAL ON DIVIDEND 
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General 
Meeting approves a dividend of SEK 1.00 per share (0.75) 
for the financial year 2022, corresponding to a total divi -
dend of SEK 133 m (100). Its opinion is that after payment 
of the proposed dividend, the company will have sufficient 
funds to be able to achieve its financial targets. Monday 8 
May 2023 has been proposed as the record date for pay -
ment of dividends. If the Annual General Meeting approves 
this proposal, dividends are expected to be disbursed on 
Thursday 11 May 2023.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2023
The Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on 4 May 
2023.

This Interim Report has not been subject to auditor review.

ADDNODE GROUP 18INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY — 31 MARCH 2023
Addnode Group operates through three divisions: Design 
Management, Product Lifecycle Management and Process 
Management. The Group’s decentralised business model 
means mission-critical decisions are taken close to the 
customer and market. Companies develop their busi -
nesses in accordance with strategies, guidelines and 
Group-wide values. The divisions are the operating seg -
ments that Addnode Group uses to monitor the perfor -
mance and development of its business. There has been 
no change to the operating segments since the most 
recent Annual Report.
The difference between the total of the segments’ oper-
ating profit and consolidated profit before tax consists of 
financial income of SEK 4 m (6) and financial expenses of 
SEK -17 m (-7). 
Acquisitions completed in the first quarter of 2023 
meant that net operating assets in segments increased to 
only a limited extent compared to the disclosures in the 
Annual Report for 2022: Design Management by SEK 61 m 
and PLM by SEK 12 m. Net operating assets are defined as 
the total of goodwill and other intangible non-current 
assets, property, plant and equipment, financial assets, 
trade receivables and other operating assets, less trade 
 payables and other operating liabilities.

ADDNODE GROUP 20INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY — 31 MARCH 2023
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) 
has issued guidelines for disclosures on Alternative Perfor-
mance Measures (APMs) for companies with securities 
listed on a regulated market in the EU, which apply to 
Alternative Performance Measures in published manda -
tory information. Alternative Performance Measures are 
financial metrics on historical or future performance of 
earnings, financial position, financial results or cash flows 
that are not defined or stated in the applicable rules for 
financial reporting. Certain performance metrics are used 
in this Interim Report that are not defined in IFRS, with the 
intention of offering investors, financial analysts and other 
stakeholders clear and relevant information on the compa-
ny’s operations and performance. The use of these perfor-
mance metrics and reconciliation with the financial state -
ments are presented below.
EBITA
EBITA is a metric the Group considers relevant to investors, 
financial analysts and other stakeholders to understand earn-
ings generation before investments in intangible non-current 
assets. This measure is an expression of operating profit 
before the amortisation and impairment of intangible 
non-current assets.
NET DEBT
The Group considers this key ratio useful to the readers of 
financial statements as a complement in evaluating dividend 
potential, making strategic investments and assessing the 
Group’s potential to satisfy financial obligations. This key ratio 
is an expression of the level of financial borrowing in absolute 
terms after deducting cash and cash equivalents.
