Atlas Copco – Q1 2023 2 (18)

Review of the first quarter

Market development
The overall demand for Atlas Copco’s products and services
remained strong. The Group’s order intake increased more
than expected and reached a record level, primarily as a
result of several significant orders and very strong project-
related business during the latter part of the quarter.
Order volumes for industrial compressors increased,
and extraordinary growth was achieved for gas and process
compressors. The order intake for equipment to industrial
vacuum applications increased, while orders for vacuum
equipment to the semiconductor industry decreased
sharply. Order volumes for industrial assembly and vision
solutions increased markedly, driven by several investment
projects related to customers’ production of electric
vehicles. The demand for power equipment was strong,
resulting in significant order growth, primarily for portable
compressors. The specialty rental business achieved solid
order growth in the quarter, and the service business
continued to grow with increased order intake in all
business areas.
In total, order volumes increased in all regions.

Atlas Copco – Q1 2023
3 (18)

Revenues, profits and returns
Revenues increased 32% to MSEK 39 861 (30 086),
corresponding to an organic growth of 18%. Currency had a
positive effect of 8%, and acquisitions added 6%.
The operating profit increased 29% to MSEK 8 699
(6 749) and includes a change in provision for share related
long-term incentive programs, reported in Common Group
Items of MSEK +36 (+224).
Adjusted operating profit increased 33% to MSEK 8 663
(6 525), corresponding to a margin of 21.7% (21.7). The
margin was positively affected by increased organic
revenues and currency, while costs related to continued
supply chain constraints and dilutions from recent
acquisitions had a negative effect on the margin.
Net financial items amounted to MSEK -44 (-78)
whereof interest net at MSEK -91 (-22). Other financial
items, including financial exchange differences were MSEK
47 (-56). Profit before tax amounted to MSEK 8 655 (6 671),
corresponding to a margin of 21.7% (22.2). Corporate
income tax amounted to MSEK -2 127 (-1 458),
corresponding to an effective tax rate of 24.6% (21.9). The
higher effective tax rate compared to the previous year was
mainly due to a geographical mix effect.
Profit for the period was MSEK 6 528 (5 213). Basic and
diluted earnings per share were SEK 1.34 (1.07 adjusted for
share split) and SEK 1.34 (1.07 adjusted for share split),
respectively.
The return on capital employed during the last 12
months was 29% (27). Return on equity was 32% (30). The
Group uses a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of
8.0% as an investment and overall performance
benchmark.

Operating cash flow and investments
Operating cash surplus increased to MSEK 10 690 (8 145).
Net financial items and taxes paid amounted to MSEK
-1 976 (-1 324). Working capital increased by MSEK 2 212
(increase of 3 079), mainly due to increased inventories.
Net investments in rental equipment were MSEK -298
(-185). Net investments in property, plant, and equipment,
mostly related to extension of production capacity, were
MSEK -983 (-836).
Operating cash flow (important internal KPI, but not an
IFRS measurement, and hence defined on page 13) reached
MSEK 4 948 (2 400).

Net indebtedness
The Group’s net indebtedness amounted to MSEK 24 124
(6 144), of which MSEK 2 419 (2 554) was attributable to
post-employment benefits. The Group’s interest-bearing
liabilities have an average maturity of 5.8 years. The net
debt/EBITDA ratio was 0.6 (0.2) and the net debt/equity
ratio was 28% (8).

Acquisition and divestment of own shares
During the quarter, 28 189 series A shares, net, were sold
for a net value of MSEK -1. These transactions are in
accordance with mandates granted by the Annual General
Meeting and relate to the Group’s long-term incentive
programs. See page 17.

Employees
On March 31, 2023, the number of employees was
50 056 (43 989). The number of consultants/external
workforce was 3 576 (4 086). For comparable units, the

Industrial compressors
The demand for industrial compressors was strong, and
solid order growth was achieved compared to the previous
year and sequentially, supported by several significant
orders to application segments such as electric vehicles,
battery production, LNG, and the chemical industry. Year-
on-year, solid order growth was achieved for larger
compressors, while the order development for small and
medium-sized compressors was close to flat.
Geographically, order volumes increased in all regions,
especially in Europe.

Gas and process compressors
The order intake for gas and process compressors was
exceptional, and order volumes increased significantly. The
strong order growth was primarily driven by several larger
orders related to LNG but also carbon capture applications
during the latter part of the quarter.
Strong order growth was achieved in most regions,
particularly in Asia and North America.

Compressor service
The demand for service remained strong, and solid order
growth was achieved in all regions.

Innovation
The business area introduced a new range of oil-injected
screw compressors, the GA 55+-90. The new range offers
high reliability and energy efficiency thanks to the latest
compressor element technology, an intelligent temperature
control system and smart sensors that monitor pressure
drops.

Acquisitions
The business area completed two acquisitions in the
quarter:
FS Medical Technology Business (FS Medical), a US-
based service supplier of medical gas systems with 32
employees and revenues of MSEK 71.
MedCore Services Inc., a Canadian-based medical gas
service provider with 7 employees and revenues of around
MSEK 10.

Revenues and profitability
Revenues increased 33% to record MSEK 17 632 (13 305),
corresponding to an organic increase of 22%.
The operating profit increased 34% to MSEK 4 245
(3 170), corresponding to a margin 24.1% (23.8). The main
explanation for the higher margin was increased organic
revenues, although currency also had a positive effect.
Dilution from recent acquisitions had a negative effect on
the operating margin. Return on capital employed (last 12
months) was 82% (90).

Semiconductor and flat panel display equipment
Order volumes for equipment to the semiconductor and
flat panel display industry decreased significantly compared
to the previous year. Sequentially, however, order volumes
increased, supported by increased order intake in Asia.
Geographically, and compared to the previous year,
order volumes decreased markedly in all regions.

Industrial and scientific vacuum equipment
Orders for industrial and scientific vacuum equipment
increased compared to the previous year and sequentially.
The higher order intake was supported by solid demand
from several industrial application segments.
The year-on-year order growth was driven by increased
order intake in North America and Asia.

Vacuum service
The service business continued to grow with increased
order intake from semiconductor and industrial customers,
the latter in particular. Solid order growth was achieved in
all major regions.

Innovation
A new range of dry claw vacuum pumps was introduced,
DZS 600-1200 VSD+, mainly targeting industrial applications
such as pneumatic conveying, pick & place and sewage
treatment. The new products have a variable speed drive
and offer high energy efficiency and low noise level for the
customers.
Acquisitions
In the quarter, CVS Engineering GmbH was acquired, a
German-based manufacturer of industrial vacuum pumps
and blowers for mobile use with 76 employees and
revenues of around MSEK 200.

Revenues and profitability
Revenues increased 22% to MSEK 9 989 (8 179),
corresponding to an organic increase of 9%.
The operating profit increased 22% to MSEK 2 268
(1 859), corresponding to a margin of 22.7% (22.7).
Increased organic revenues and currency supported the
margin. At the same time, dilution from acquisitions, costs
related to supply chain constraints and consequent
inefficiencies in production and service, and continued
investments in R&D and marketing affected the margin
negatively. Return on capital employed (last 12 months)
was 24% (25).

Automotive industry
Order volumes for industrial assembly and vision solutions
to the automotive industry increased significantly. The
strong order growth was driven by several investment
projects related to customers’ production of electric
vehicles and automation.
Geographically, order volumes increased markedly in all
regions.

General industry
The order intake for industrial assembly and vision
solutions to the general industry increased. The increased
order volumes were supported by solid demand from
several customer segments, such as off-highway,
electronics, solar power, and metal fabrication customers.
Geographically, order volumes increased in North
America and Asia but were basically unchanged in Europe.

Service
The demand for service remained high, and order volumes
increased markedly with solid order growth in all regions.

Innovation
A new server-based controller for industrial assembly tools
was introduced to the market, the ToolsControl. The new
controller can run tightening software on a server or a local
PC, offers a single-point connection to customers' systems,
reduces the need for physical controllers at customers' sites
and saves floor space.

Revenues and profitability
Revenues increased 28% to MSEK 6 492 (5 083),
corresponding to an organic increase of 19%.
The operating profit increased 29% to MSEK 1 371
(1 065), corresponding to a margin of 21.1% (21.0).
The margin was supported by increased organic revenues,
partly offset by currency and continued costs related to
supply chain constraints. Return on capital employed (last
12 months) was 18% (17).

Equipment
The demand for equipment was strong, and the order
intake increased significantly, primarily driven by increased
order intake for portable compressors. The strong year-on-
year growth was supported by increased demand from
equipment rental companies in North America. Significant
order growth was also achieved sequentially with increased
volumes for most product groups, partly explained by a
more comprehensive product offer and a normal seasonal
effect.
The strong year-on-year order growth was primarily
generated by increased order volumes in North America.

Specialty rental
Order volumes for the specialty rental business increased
significantly compared to the previous year but remained
essentially unchanged sequentially.
Year-on-year order volumes increased in all regions
except Asia, where order volumes decreased.

Service
The order intake for service continued to increase with
solid growth in most regions.

Innovation
A new series of electric-driven dewatering pumps, the
E Pumps (E PAS and E PAC), primarily targeting applications
such as sewage bypass in the municipality sector and
construction, was launched. The new pumps offer
customers low noise levels, minimal CO2 emissions, and up
to 40% lower total cost of ownership versus traditional
diesel-powered counterparts.

Revenues and profitability
Revenues increased 62% to record MSEK 5 996 (3 702),
corresponding to an organic increase of 24%. Acquisitions
contributed with 28%.
The operating profit increased 72% to record MSEK
1 145 (664), corresponding to a margin of 19.1% (17.9). The
main explanation for the higher margin was increased
organic revenues. Currency also had a positive effect on the
operating margin, while recent acquisitions had a dilutive
effect. Return on capital employed (last 12 months) was
24% (29).

Accounting principles
The consolidated accounts of the Atlas Copco Group are prepared
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS), as adopted by the EU. The description of the accounting
principles and definitions applied in this report are found in the
Annual Report 2022. The interim report is prepared in accordance
with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. Non-IFRS measures are
also presented in the report since they are considered to be
important supplemental measures of the company´s
performance. For further information about these measures and
how they have been calculated, please visit:
http://www.atlascopcogroup.com/investor-relations

Risks, risk management and factors of uncertainty
Atlas Copco’s global and diversified business is active within many
customer segments and results in a variety of risks and
opportunities geographically and operationally. Thus, the ability to
identify, analyze and manage risks is crucial for effective
governance and control of the business. The aim is to meet the
Group’s goals with a high awareness of risks and well-managed
risk taking. Atlas Copco sees the benefits of an efficient risk
management both from risk reduction and business opportunity
perspectives, which can lead to good business growth.

Risks in Atlas Copco are identified in a 360-degree spectrum,
meaning that both internal, and external exposures are assessed
including today’s circumstances and future changes. The Group’s
risk management approach follows the decentralized structure of
Atlas Copco. Risks are analyzed and addressed in an integrated
way. Local companies are responsible for their own risk
management, which is monitored and followed up regularly at for
example local business board meetings. Group functions
responsible for legal, insurance, human resources, compliance,
sustainability, treasury, tax, controlling and accounting provide
policies, guidelines and instructions regarding risk management.

Risk areas include compliance risks, external exposure risks,
including pandemics, operational risks and strategic risks. These
risk areas can impact the business negatively both in the long and
short term, but often also create business opportunities if
managed well. Examples of risks and how they are handled is
described below.

Market risks
The demand for Atlas Copco’s equipment and services is affected
by changes in the customers’ investment and production levels. A
general economic downturn, geopolitical tensions, pandemics,
changes in trade agreements, trade sanctions, a widespread
financial crisis and other macroeconomic disturbances may,
directly or indirectly, affect the Group negatively both in terms of
revenues and profitability. However, the Group’s sales are well
diversified with customers in many industries and countries
around the world, which mitigates the risk.

Financial risks
Atlas Copco is subject to currency risks, funding risks, interest rate
risks, tax risks, and other financial risks. In line with the overall
goals with respect to growth, return on capital, and protecting
creditors, Atlas Copco has adopted a policy to control the financial
risks to which the Group is exposed. A financial risk management
committee meets regularly to manage and follow up financial
risks, in line with the policy.

Production risks
A large part of the components used in production are sourced
from sub-suppliers. The availability is dependent on the sub-
suppliers and if they have interruptions or lack capacity, this may
adversely affect production. To minimize these risks, Atlas Copco
has established a global network of sub-suppliers, which means
that in most cases there are more than one sub-supplier that can
provide a certain component. Atlas Copco is also directly and
indirectly exposed to raw material prices. Cost increases for raw
materials and components often coincide with strong end-
customer demand and can partly be compensated for by
increased sales prices.

Acquisitions
Atlas Copco has the ambition to grow all its business areas,
primarily through organic growth, complemented by selected
acquisitions. The integration of acquired businesses is a difficult
process and it is not certain that every integration will be
successful. Therefore, costs related to acquisitions can be higher
and/or synergies can take longer to materialize than anticipated.

Risks related to the war in Ukraine
Atlas Copco’s financial exposure to Russia and Ukraine is limited.
During 2022, revenues from Russia accounted for less than 1% of
the Group’s total revenues. Ukraine accounted for well below
0.1% of the Group’s total revenues. Further, Atlas Copco has no
production units in Russia or Ukraine. Hence the ongoing war has
very limited direct financial effects on Atlas Copco. Given the
uncertainties surrounding the ongoing conflict, it is very difficult
to predict potential indirect effects on Atlas Copco. As of March
31, 2023, there is no significant impact on any balance sheet
items.

For more information of Atlas Copco’s risk management process
and further descriptions of risks and how they are handled, see
the Annual Report 2022.

Forward-looking statements
Some statements in this report are forward-looking, and the
actual outcome could be materially different. In addition to the
factors explicitly discussed, other factors could have a material
effect on the actual outcome. Such factors include, but are not
limited to, general business conditions, fluctuations in exchange
rates and interest rates, political developments, the impact of
competing products and their pricing, product development,
commercialization and technological difficulties, interruptions in
