CEO’s comments
Improved earnings and stronger margins, returns and cash flow
We delivered another quarter of improved earnings, a higher profit margin and stronger returns, despite a cautious
underlying market in construction and industry, with revenue growth of only 1 percent for comparable units. EBITA
increased to MSEK 142 (130), up just over 9 percent, and we can now report 26 consecutive quarters of improved
earnings. The EBITA margin improved by 0.8 percentage points to 10.7 percent. The return on working capital (P/WC)
moved in the right direction and is now at 37 percent (32), and cash flow from operating activities for the quarter
increased to MSEK 190 (182).
Core Solutions and Safety Technology continued to deliver good returns, with increased profit and stronger margins.
Adjusted for divestments, revenue and earnings for PPE & Utilities remained unchanged. While several companies in the
division increased their profit during the quarter, Luna’s performance remained weak. Machinery & Equipment was a
disappointment during the quarter. Several customers at the division’s companies chose to delay their investments in
machinery and equipment. In combination with a less favourable business mix and some non-recurring costs, this led to
weaker revenue and lower earnings for the quarter. Since these customers’ investment needs remain unchanged, and the
mix and cost effects are deemed to be temporary, I expect that the division will return it profit growth and increased
returns.
The Group’s gross margin remained at 50 percent for the third consecutive quarter. Several of our companies have seen
rising raw material and energy prices as well as increased shipping costs. Thanks to our decentralised way of working,
with decisions made close to the customer, these companies have been able to respond quickly and mitigate these
effects.
Acquisitions continue
Our acquisition work continued, and in April our subsidiary Uveco acquired the company All-Coating. Under the Flexcoat
product brand, All-Coating offers sheet metal in customer-specific colours based on a proprietary method that allows the
sheet metal to be further processed afterwards. I’m pleased to welcome the company, which will strengthen our sheet
metal offering.
Long-term value creation
It is still my assessment that demand will gradually pick up in 2026, although it could take a few quarters before customer
investments are reflected in our companies’ invoicing. Our direction remains unchanged. We are continuing to build,
organically as well as through acquisitions, a portfolio of technology companies with strong market positions in niches
that offer good margins, high returns and growth potential. With a lower cost base and continued strong margins, we are
well equipped for when the economy and the construction market once again gain momentum. Thanks to our clear focus
and disciplined capital allocation, we have a good foundation for continued profitable growth.

Profit and revenue
First quarter (April–June 2026)
Revenue amounted to MSEK 1,323 (1,319). Revenue
increased by 1 percent organically. Acquired and
divested units had a negative impact of 1 percent on
revenue. Exchange-rate fluctuations had a marginal
impact.
Demand varied between customer segments.
Companies exposed to public properties and
infrastructure continued to experience good demand.
Demand was also stable in the Nordic construction
sector, although customers remained cautious despite
some signs of a recovery among end customers.
Demand from industrial customers varied significantly
between submarkets.
EBITA for the first quarter increased by 9 percent to
MSEK 142 (130) and the EBITA margin improved to 10.7
percent (9.9). This positive earnings trend was
attributable both to acquired companies and to strong
performances by several of the Group’s existing
operations.
Profit after financial items increased to MSEK 77 (76).
Net profit totalled MSEK 61 (60).

* The effects of IFRS 16 Leases and adjustments for items affecting comparability are not included in the follow-up of earnings from the

Core Solutions
First quarter (April–June 2026)
Core Solutions’ revenue rose by 11 percent to MSEK 470
(422). EBITA increased by 30 percent to MSEK 69 (53)
and the EBITA margin improved to 14.7 percent (12.6).
Demand from customers in the Nordic construction
sector varied between segments. Resellers remained
cautious despite the early signs of a recovery in
demand.
The sharp increase in earnings in the division was
attributable to strong organic growth combined with
the earnings contribution from H C Coils.
Safety Technology
First quarter (April–June 2026)
Safety Technology’s revenue rose by 27 percent to
MSEK 370 (292). EBITA increased by 29 percent to MSEK
62 (48) and the EBITA margin improved to 16.8 percent
(16.4).
Demand improved somewhat compared with previous
periods, although the trend continued to vary
according to customer group and market. However, it is
too early to start discussing a genuine market upturn,
since the performance of several companies depends
on when project orders come in.
The stronger performance in the division reflects a
combination of organic growth and successful
===== SIDA 5 =====
Interim Report 2026/2027
1 April–30 June 2026
5 (23)
acquisitions. Several operations noted robust organic
growth, with especially strong contributions from fire
safety, safety signage and safety equipment.
Machinery & Equipment
First quarter (April–June 2026)
Machinery & Equipment’s revenue amounted to MSEK
120 (121). EBITA amounted to MSEK 5 (14) and the
EBITA margin was 4.2 percent (11.6).
Market conditions continued to be characterised by
customer caution, which dampened customers’
willingness to invest in machinery and equipment. The
weaker earnings were primarily due to a less favourable
business mix and certain non-recurring costs during the
quarter. Polartherm had another quarter with limited
deliveries following the high levels noted in the fourth
quarter. A. T .E. Solutions’ project-based business also
reported lower invoicing compared with the strong
fourth quarter, despite a good underlying activity level
in the defence segment.
PPE & Utilities
First quarter (April–June 2026)
PPE & Utilities’ revenue amounted to MSEK 360 (485).
EBITA amounted to MSEK 9 (19) and the EBITA margin
was 2.5 percent (3.9).
The divested company Skydda was part of the division
until 1 July 2025. Skydda’s revenue in the same quarter
last year amounted to approximately MSEK 100, net.
Luna Baltic, which was divested in September 2025,
was also part of the division in the comparative period
and posted revenue of approximately MSEK 25 last year.
Adjusted for divestments, the division’s revenue and
profit were on a par with the preceding year.
The division’s product companies in personal protective
equipment performed well during the quarter. Luna,
which primarily conducts sales through industrial
resellers, continued to be impacted by weak demand.
Group-wide expenses and
eliminations
Group-wide items and eliminations for the first quarter
amounted to MSEK -3 (-4).
The Parent Company’s revenue amounted to MSEK 15
(12) and profit after financial items amounted to MSEK
18 (12) for the first quarter.
Items affecting comparability
The divisions are followed up excluding items affecting
comparability and are measured based on adjusted
EBITA.
The Group’s accumulated profit after financial items for
the rolling 12-month period on 30 June 2026 and on 31
March 2026 includes items affecting comparability
totalling MSEK -10. These items pertain to divestments,
restructuring measures and the revaluation of large
contingent considerations. For a complete breakdown
of these items, refer to the Financial Report for
2025/2026. A summary is presented in the 2025/2026
Annual Report. There were no items affecting
comparability in the first quarter or the corresponding
period last year.
Employees
At the end of the period, the number of employees in
the Group totalled 1,364, compared with 1,347 at the
beginning of the financial year. During the period, five
employees were gained via acquisitions.

Corporate acquisitions
Uveco, a company in Division Machinery & Equipment,
acquired all of the shares in All-Coating
Industrilackeringar AB in April 2026. Under the Flexcoat
product brand, the company offers sheet metal in
customer-specific colours based on a proprietary
method that allows the sheet metal to be further
processed afterwards. The company has revenue of
approximately MSEK 25, with very good profitability.
Bergman & Beving normally uses an acquisition model
with a base consideration and a contingent
consideration. The outcome of the contingent
consideration depends on the future earnings of the
acquired company.
Goodwill is based on the expected future sales trend
and profitability of the acquired companies.
Preliminary purchase price allocations for the
acquisitions over the past 12 months:
The unpaid purchase considerations of MSEK 104 are
contingent and are estimated to amount to a maximum
of MSEK 136. The majority of the contingent
considerations will fall due within two years.
Acquisition analyses older than 12 months are
considered finalised.
Additional purchase considerations of MSEK 15 (2)
pertaining to previous years’ acquisitions were paid
during the period. The revaluation of contingent
considerations had a negative effect of MSEK -2 (6) on
the financial year. The effect on earnings is recognised
in Other operating income or Other operating expenses,
respectively.
Acquisition-related transaction costs for the year’s
acquisitions, which are recognised in other operating
expenses in the income statement, amounted to MSEK
0 (1).
No remeasurements of option liabilities related to
minority interests were performed during the period.
Option liabilities were reclassified from non-current to
current in an amount of MSEK 48. The likelihood that
the short-term options will be exercised within one year
was deemed low.

Profitability, cash flow and
financial position
Since the balance sheet historically includes the divested
operations, the performance measures for cash flow and
return have been impacted by the divestment and do
not provide a representative assessment of the
continuing operations.
In the comparative figures for the quarter, assets and
liabilities held for sale pertain to the divested company
Skydda.
Profitability, measured as the return on working capital
(P/WC), amounted to 37 percent (32). The return on
equity increased to 12 percent (-2), and adjusted for
items affecting comparability, the return was 12 percent
(10).
Cash flow from operating activities for the quarter
improved to MSEK 190 (182). Working capital decreased
by MSEK 28 during the same period. Cash flow was
impacted by net investments in non-current assets of
MSEK 18 (14) and MSEK 54 (261) pertaining to
acquisitions.
The Group’s operational net loan liability at the end of
the period amounted to MSEK 1,566 (1,412), excluding
expensed pension obligations of MSEK 487 (516) and
lease liabilities of MSEK 377 (454).
Cash and cash equivalents, including unutilised granted
credit facilities, totalled MSEK 937 (1,092).
Financial income and expenses amounted to MSEK -31
(-27) for the quarter.
The equity/assets ratio was 32 percent (31). Equity per
share amounted to SEK 79.50, compared with SEK 76.55
at the beginning of the year.
The Swedish tax rate, which is also the Parent
Company’s tax rate, was 20.6 percent. The Group’s
weighted average tax rate, with its current geographic
mix, was approximately 23 percent.
Share structure and repurchase of shares
At the end of the period, share capital totalled MSEK 56.9 and was distributed by class of share as follows:

Notes
1. Accounting policies
This Interim Report was prepared in accordance with IFRS and by applying IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, the Swedish
Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Securities Market Act. The Interim Report for the Parent Company was prepared in
accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Securities Market Act, which conforms to the provisions
detailed in RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.
Assets and liabilities held for sale
As of 30 June 2025/2026, Bergman & Beving’s assessment was that the criteria for recognising assets and liabilities held for
sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations had been met with regard to
the divestment of Skydda i Sverige AB, Skydda Suomi Oy and Skydda Norge AS. This classification principle was applied as
of the first quarter of 2025/2026 and is therefore reflected in the comparative figures for the quarter.
In other respects, the same accounting policies and bases of judgement have been applied in this Interim Report as in the
Annual Report for 2025/2026. Disclosures are provided in the financial statements and accompanying notes as well as other
sections of the interim report.
New or amended accounting standards
The additions and amendments to standards applicable during the year are not assessed to have any material impact on
the financial statements. The amended IFRS to be applied in the future is IFRS 18. A complete analysis of its impact on
Bergman & Beving’s financial statements has not yet been finalised. The standard is not expected to impact the Group’s
earnings or financial position, but will impact the presentation of the financial statements and associated disclosures. The
standard will be applied as of the 2027/2028 financial year, with the first effect on the interim report for the first quarter
published on 30 June 2027.

Financial instruments measured at fair value are presented in the table above. Derivatives belong to Level 2 of the fair
value hierarchy. Derivatives that comprise foreign-exchange forward contracts are measured at fair value by
discounting the difference between the contracted forward rate and the forward rate that can be contracted on the
balance-sheet date for the remaining contract period.
Contingent considerations regarding acquired operations are classified in Level 3, meaning that measurement is based
on the expected future financial performance of the acquired operations as assessed by management.
No transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 took place during the period. For the Group’s other financial assets and
liabilities, the fair value is estimated to be equal to the carrying amount.

5. Risks and uncertainties
While the uncertain geopolitical situation, increased protectionism, general conditions and inflation remain unchanged,
they have had a minor impact on the Group to date. During the period, no other significant changes occurred with respect
to risks and uncertainties for the Group or the Parent Company. For information about these risks and uncertainties, refer
to pages 43–46 of Bergman & Beving’s Annual Report for 2025/2026.

Bergman & Beving uses certain financial performance measures in its analysis of the operations and their performance that
are not calculated in accordance with IFRS. The Company believes that these performance measures provide valuable
information for investors, since they enable a more accurate assessment of current trends when combined with other key
financial ratios calculated in accordance with IFRS. Since listed companies do not always calculate these performance
