The Group's total sales amounted to SEK 9,493 million, corresponding to a growth of 12 per cent. EBITA amounted to SEK 1,084 million, corresponding to an increase of 13 per cent, and the EBITA margin was 11.4 per cent (11.3). Organic sales increased by 3 per cent during the period. A good operating cash flow of SEK 1,231 million continues to support expansionary possibilities in the market. The OEM segment continued to demonstrate good organic growth, reporting an increase of 11 per cent. Furthermore, organic growth for HVAC was stable at 3 per cent, while organic sales for commercial and industrial refrigeration was in line with the corresponding period last year. During the quarter, 75 per cent of the shares in GIA Group were acquired, with a put/call option to acquire the remaining shares. GIA Group is a leading Spanish distributor of air conditioning products and reported sales of SEK 1.1 billion with good profitability during the fiscal year 2023. The company was consolidated as of August and strengthens our presence in the Spanish market, where we see growing demand. GIA Group employs approximately 100 people, and we look forward to integrating their expertise and creating important synergies. Our OEM companies reported good growth during the quarter, and it is particularly pleasing that our Danish refrigeration and heating technology company, Fenagy, which focuses on environmentally friendly heat pumps based on natural refrigerants, secured its first order in Germany. This order is for a 1 MW air source heat pump for district heating and marks the start of several potential projects in Germany, which will be an important market for Fenagy's continued growth. In North America, a transition to more environmentally friendly refrigerants with a lower GWP (Global Warming Potential) value is currently underway. To ensure that Beijer Ref can meet the increasing demand, we initiated cooperation with key partners in the US during the period to develop products with a lower climate impact. The launch is expected to take place in the first quarter of 2025. Beijer Ref is strongly committed to sustainability and works proactively to reduce the Group's environmental impact. As a company, we have a key role to play in the phase-out of fossil fuels, particularly by offering energy-efficient and sustainable solutions for both commercial and industrial needs. By providing innovative cooling and heating systems using natural refrigerants, we are actively contributing to shaping a greener future. Digital sales increased by 24 per cent in the quarter, compared to the same period last year. The positive sales growth, together with a constant increase in online customers, confirms our ongoing digital journey. Furthermore, we have several exciting projects, related to our digital platform and the implementation of new tools and AI. We summarise another good quarter and have a clear strategy that is well anchored in the Group. Our robust platform provides us with favorable conditions for continued growth and development. A big thank you to all employees in the Group, who together contribute to the company's success.

The largest increase was within the HVAC segment, which reported growth of 8 per cent, driven by strong sales in Eastern Europe, good sales growth from our own brands, as well as acquisitions. The OEM segment continued to demonstrate steady growth, reporting a sales increase of 6 per cent. Sales growth is mainly driven by our own manufactured compressor units and heat pumps based on natural refrigerants. Several new products, based on environmentally friendly technology, will be launched during the fall, including a new heat pump in the commercially attractive 30-300 kW range. Commercial refrigeration and industrial refrigeration was in line with the corresponding period last year. EBITA was reported at SEK 659 million (635) with a good EBITA margin of 12.0 per cent (12.0). The acquisition of the Spanish air conditioning company GIA Group was completed during the quarter. GIA Group is one of Spain's largest distributors of air conditioning with several own strong brands. The company's turnover during the completed fiscal year 2023 amounted to approximately SEK 1.1 billion with good profitability. The company was consolidated as of August.

EBITA increased by 31 per cent and amounted to SEK 131 million (100). The EBITA margin increased by 0.7 percentage points and amounted to 8.3 per cent (7.6). The improved EBITA margin can continue to be attributed to a greater focus on own our brands and higher demand for complete HVAC solutions. In general, we see a positive trend in demand in APAC, but the market for major projects continued to be weak in the third quarter, especially in Asia. However, it is positive that many of the larger projects that receive financing are usually focused on energy-efficient solutions and natural refrigerants, which is particularly beneficial for Beijer Ref, which offers a comprehensive and strong range in this segment. With a wide assortment in the rapidly growing electrification of air conditioning and heating systems, Beijer Ref has a solid position in the Southern Hemisphere countries facing the seasonally stronger fourth quarter.

Regional closures towards the end of the quarter, due to Hurricane Helene, had a negative impact on sales growth. EBITA and EBITA margin were reported at SEK 332 million (262) and 13.7 per cent (13.6) respectively. Given the operating margins of the recently acquired companies, the underlying EBITA margin development was strong. In North America, a transition to more environmentally friendly refrigerants with lower GWP value is underway. To support this shift, Beijer Ref is collaborating with key US players to develop products with reduced climate impact. This collaboration ensures that we meet the growing demand, with a product launch expected in the first quarter of 2025. During the quarter, we opened three new branches in markets close to our existing operations, one of which is linked to our recently acquired company Young Supply. Although still in the early stages, we are seeing good sales results, demonstrating that establishing new branches is a good foundation for further expansion of our North American platform. In addition to our geographic expansion, we have been proactively working on several strategic initiatives to expand the scope of our North American platform: we are broadening the product offering for our own brands, expanding into commercial refrigeration in branches that currently handle HVAC, and making progress in scaling our e-commerce platform across the North American business. At the same time, we continue to maintain a strong acquisition pipeline.

GIA Group is an air conditioning company and one of Spain's largest distributors with several own strong brands. The company was consolidated as of August. Significant events after the end of the period There were no significant events after the end of the period. Sustainability Sustainability is a well-integrated part of Beijer Ref. Doing business based on sound standards is a responsibility that the Group takes very seriously, while at the same time it is woven as a natural approach in all parts of the organisation. Beijer Ref's sustainability strategy is based on the UN's global goals in Agenda 2030 and includes; economy, society and environment. Beijer Ref makes the assessment that it is in the environmental field that the Group can make the biggest difference. To further strengthen the work of developing environmentally friendly refrigeration technology, the Group measures the proportion of Beijer Ref's OEM sales that are environmentally friendly. The goal is for environmentally friendly OEM sales to account for at least 50% of total OEM sales by 2025. At the end of the quarter, environmentally friendly OEM sales accounted for 49% of total OEM sales. Risk description The Beijer Ref Group's operations are affected by a number of external factors, the effects of which on the Group's operating profit can be controlled to varying degrees. The Group's operations are dependent on the general economic development in the regions where the business is present, which determines the demand for Beijer Ref's products and services. Acquisitions are normally associated with risks, such as the loss of key personnel. Other operational risks, such as agency and supplier agreements, product liability and delivery commitments, technical development, warranties, personal dependency and others, are analyzed continuously. If necessary, measures are taken to reduce the Group's risk exposure. In its operations, Beijer Ref is exposed to financial risks such as currency risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. The parent company's risk profile is the same as that of the Group. For further information, see the Group's Annual Report. Reporting principles This interim report was prepared in accordance with IAS 34, the Swedish Annual Reports Act and RFR 2. Beijer Ref continues to apply the same accounting principles and valuation methods as described in the most recent annual report. Information pursuant to IAS 34.16A, in addition to disclosure in the financial reports and their associated notes, also appears in other parts of the interim report.

The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review. Scope of Review We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.

The group believes that the key figures are useful to users of the financial statements as a complement to the profit and loss account and balance sheet and cash flow statement. Examples of alternative key figures linked to financial position: return on equity and operating capital, net debt, debt to equity ratio and equity/assets ratio. The group also uses the cash flow measurement of operating cash flow to give an indication of the funds that the business generates in order to be able to carry out strategic investments, make amortisations and provide returns to shareholders. The performance measurements EBITDA, EBITA and EBIT are measurements that Beijer Ref considers relevant for investors who wish to understand the business’s profit generation.

Our assessment is that an acquisition is material if the acquired company's sales exceed 5 per cent of the Group's total sales. During the year, five acquisitions were consolidated in the Group's accounts. Information about these acquisitions is provided in the table on page 19. 2024 First quarter Beijer Ref acquired 60 per cent of the shares in Quality Air Equipment (QAE), with a put/call option to acquire the remaining shares. During the first quarter, Beijer Ref also acquired 70 per cent of the shares in Chillaire Solutions, with an option to acquire the remaining shares. Second quarter Beijer Ref acquired the company Young Supply, a North American distributor in commercial refrigeration and HVAC. Young Supply has annual sales of approximately SEK 1.4 billion. Furthermore, Beijer Ref acquired 60 per cent of the shares in Luyten BV, with a put/call option to acquire the remaining shares. Beijer Ref also signed an agreement to acquire 80 per cent of the shares in Cool4U, with a put/call option to acquire the remaining shares. Cool4U is a leading HVAC distributor in Hungary with annual sales of approximately SEK 500 million. The transaction is subject to approval by the competition authority in Hungary as a condition for closing. Third quarter During the third quarter, Beijer Ref acquired 75 per cent of the shares in GIA Group, with a put/call option to acquire the remaining shares. GIA Group is an air conditioning company and one of Spain's largest distributors with several own strong brands. Turnover during the completed fiscal year 2023 amounted to approximately SEK 1.1 billion with good profitability. 2023 First quarter Beijer Ref acquired Heritage Distribution and Transport Cooling. Beijer Ref acquired approximately 95 per cent of the shares in Heritage Distribution and holds a put/call option to acquire the remaining shares. In addition, Beijer Ref acquired Roobear Ltd and the assets of AFM (Belgium). AFM has been integrated into the company Beijer Ref Belgium. Second quarter Beijer Ref acquired 100 per cent of the assets of Shravan Engineering (India) and also entered into a binding agreement to acquire 70 per cent of the shares in Condex (Bulgaria) and holds a put/call option to acquire the remaining shares. In addition, Beijer Ref acquired all the shares in CFD (France) and GMC Airconditioning (South Africa). Third quarter During the third quarter of last year, Beijer Ref acquired 95 per cent of the shares in Industrifiber (Norway) and holds a put/call option to acquire the remaining shares. Furthermore, Beijer Ref acquired 100 per cent of the operations in DS Maref (South Korea) and AMSCO Supply (North America) during the quarter. DS Maref and AMSCO Supply did not have any impact on the Group's income statement in the third quarter of the previous year. Accounting for acquisitions Identified customer lists are written off 10-15 years while brands are considered to have an indefinite lifespan and are not written off. Most accrued acquisition goodwill arising is explained by synergies with the Group's existing operations. The valuation technique applied to put/call options and contingent considerations discounts the present value of expected future cash flows using a risk- adjusted discount rate. Expected cash flows are determined based on likely scenarios for future performance measures, the amounts that will be paid in each outcome and the probability of each outcome. Put/call options and earn-outs are reported according to valuation level 3. During 2024, five acquisitions have been completed where the final purchase price will be paid via options within the time span 2027-2034. The options have been valued at the probable outcome and recognised and entered as non- current liability; this liability amounts to SEK 688 million. Acquisitions that include a put/call option, where ownership will amount to 100 per cent, are consolidated in their entirety at the time of acquisition. Acquisition costs for acquisitions completed during 2024 and charged to profit for 2024 amount to approximately SEK 17 million (19) and are included in other costs. Acquisition costs and acquisition calculations are preliminary for acquisitions in 2024.
