THE MANAGING DIRECTOR’S COMMENTS
Stronger results in the Service Business,  
and continued focus on profitability
Third quarter 
Operational earnings for the quarter amounted to  
SEK 281 M, with a margin of 3.1 per cent. Results for the 
Service Business were stable at SEK 221 M, which was 
SEK 16 M higher than the previous year. The Car Business 
reported a result of SEK 73 M, with a profit of SEK 96 M 
for used cars and a loss of SEK 23 million for new cars. 
Order intake was at a higher level than the previous year. 
Operating cash flow remained strong at SEK 480 M for 
the quarter. 
An automotive industry in constant flux 
Recent years have been characterised by change, with 
digitalisation and electrification driving new business 
models. Our general agents are now combining classic 
business models with new ones to meet customer de-
mands for a secure, convenient experience when buying 
a new car. Regardless of the business model, we feel that 
the demand for quality service and advice is crucial to 
achieving good customer satisfaction. 
Electrification of the car fleet is ongoing. In Norway, 
the share of registered electric cars remained high, 
reaching 88 per cent for the first nine months of the 
year. In Sweden, conversely, the share of registered 
electric cars decreased on the previous year and was 
34 per cent. Instead, demand for hybrid cars and fossil 
fuel cars has increased. In Western Europe, the share of 
registered electric cars was 26 per cent. Thanks to our 
diversified portfolio of car brands, we can offer our cus-
tomers vehicles based on their wants and needs.
Focus on profitability  
Our focus is on increasing profitability in our existing 
business areas. Our goal is to continuously optimise our 
processes, and ensure high customer satisfaction and 
increased shareholder value. Our Business Excellence 
team assists Bilia’s Service Business with improvement 
measures to work more efficiently and thereby increase 
profitability. 
     We are continuously expanding our operations, both 
organically and through acquisitions. With a continued 
focus on our customers and their needs, we aim to con-
tinue growing our Service Business. Therefore, during the 
quarter we entered into an agreement to acquire Lunds 
Bil i Varberg AB, a small full-service business for BMW. 
We look forward to further developing the company and 
strengthening our position in this area. Since the end 
of the quarter, we have also completed the acquisition 
of Carlo Schmitz S.à r.l in Luxembourg, which is also a 
full-service business for BMW. Moving forward, we will 
have two facilities in Luxembourg and we see good op-
portunities to develop them.  
Improved prospects for our customers
Results for the Service Business remain stable and rep-
resented 74 per cent of Bilia’s operational earnings in the 
third quarter. Booking times at our service workshops are 
at strong levels, which means stable demand for servic-
ing. Demand for used cars remained strong. The order 
intake of new cars was higher than in the previous year. 
Among private individuals, especially in Norway, we are 
seeing an improvement in activity. With increasing new 
car promotional activity among our car brands and lower 
interest rates, we are cautiously optimistic about new car 
sales in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Per Avander
Managing Director and CEO

higher level compared to the 
previous year”

Net turnover and earnings
Third quarter 2024
Net turnover amounted to SEK 8,984 M (8,708). Ad-
justed for acquired and closed operations and exchange 
rate fluctuations, net turnover increased by 1 per cent, 
attributable to more used cars delivered and growth in 
the Service Business. Exchange rate fluctuations did not 
have a material impact on net turnover compared to the 
previous year. 
Operational earnings amounted to SEK 281 M (335), 
and the operational margin was 3.1 per cent (3.8). Nor-
way reported higher operational earnings, attributable

used cars in the Car Business. In Western Europe, the 
slightly lower result was attributable to sales of new cars 
in the Car Business.

ating profit included result from interests in joint ventures 
of SEK -16 M, which for the quarter included start-up 
costs for operations.

quarter and totalled 5,427 . 
The operating result for the Parent Company during 
the quarter amounted to SEK –23 M (–39). The result was 
positively affected, compared with the previous year, by 
approximately SEK 10 M due to the revaluation of endow-
ment insurance for pensions.

ically by 6 per cent during the quarter. In Sweden and 
Western Europe, organic growth during the quarter was 
5 per cent and 6 per cent respectively, while in Norway 
organic growth was as much as 10 per cent. The organic 
growth is adjusted for acquired and closed operations,

ing days in Belgium.

Our target is to grow the turnover and profitability of our 
Service Business. Since 2013 the turnover for the nine 
months has more than doubled, while the operational 
earnings has more than quadrupled. The margin has dur-
ing the same period increased from 7 .3 per cent to 11.4 
per cent. The lower margin compared to previous years 
is primarily explained by new operations, which includes 
both acquired operations and newly started operations. 
Turnover in the Service Business comes from different 
services that are updated according to customers’ needs 
and expectations. Services encompass service centers, 
repair workshops, wheel storage and tyre sales, glass 
repair and replacement, car dismantling and sales of used 
spare parts.
SERVICE BUSINESS
At the end of the quarter, the number of service subscrip-
tions amounted to 118,000 (119,000 at year-end 2023) 
compared with our long-term target of 130,000. The num-
ber of wheels stored on behalf of our customers amounted 
to 374,000 (391,000 at year-end 2023) compared with 
our long-term target of 1,000,000.
Service subscriptions Wheels in storage
We work continuously to improve the profitability of our 
Service Business. Our Business Excellence team together 
with our team within the Service Business identify the 
most effective processes and then implements these at 
the facilities where there is improvement potential as well 
as at our newly started and newly acquired businesses.

Adjusted for acquired and closed operations and

was 1 per cent lower than the previous year, attributable 
to sales of new cars.
Operational earnings  from sales of used cars re-
mained at a good, stable level and amounted to SEK 
96 M (99). Operational earnings from sales of new cars 
amounted to SEK 23 M (52). The lower result from sales of

Operational earnings for the Car Business in Sweden 
amounted to SEK 21 M (109). Results from sales of used 
cars remained good, with a profit of SEK 54 M (90). The

it margin. The result from sales of new cars amounted 
to SEK –33 M (19). The lower result was primarily attrib-

THE GROUP
The automotive and transport industry is facing major 
challenges. It’s about the transition to vehicles that run on 
sustainable fuels, but also taking greater overall respon-
sibility along the entire value chain, and finding new 
ways to reduce the use of resources. These challenges 
are regulated by international laws and objectives but 
are also expected and demanded by business partners 
and customers. We all have a responsibility. When selling 
new cars, Bilia supports companies and individuals in the 
transition to vehicles with lower carbon dioxide emissions, 
while our workshops and dismantling centres contribute 
to a more circular economy through repair and reuse. 
Sustainability at Bilia 
We are working to make sustainability an increasingly 
integral part of Bilia’s operation. Our business concept is 
to create a sustainable business through consideration 
and pride by offering attractive and innovative solutions 
for the mobile human being. We do this both to provide 
added value to our customers and because we see 
sustainability as an important part of our business. Our 
business concept enables us to grow while contributing 
to the major societal changes happening in the world. 
Our circular business model
Bilia is a full-service supplier during the car’s entire life 
cycle. The focus is on developing new services relating to 
reuse and renovation of spare parts. As part of this strate-
gy, we have acquired car dismantling companies and 
rim repair companies. In addition to car dismantling and 
reuse of spare parts, dismantled parts are also recycled.
Activities during the quarter related to Bilia's 
sustainability targets
The sustainability targets are the basis for specific im-
provement activities in this year's action plan. Examples 
of activities during the quarter were:
•  Sustainable growth – ongoing work regarding the 
future Sustainability Report regarding CSRD’s reporting 
requirements. 
•  Circular economy – preparation of information regard-
ing the use of used spare parts in our repair shops. 
•  Human care – completed training regarding safety 
when handling electric cars and evaluated a new sys-
tem for reporting accidents and incidents in the Swedish 
operations.
•  Climate care – implementation of activities in the busi-
ness regarding reduced environmental impact of our 
own business. 
Sustainability
Nine key SDGs in the 2030 Agenda
The focus areas for our sustainability work:  Human care, 
Climate care, Sustainable growth and Circular economy 
model. The focus areas are linked to the following of the 
UN's global Sustainable Development Goals in the 2030 
Agenda.
Sustainable growth
• Customer satisfaction to be 3 percentage 
points higher than the average for each brand 
and country.
• Proportion of women in sales operations 
should exceed 30 per cent.
Circular economy
• Share of 12 per cent used spare parts for 
damage cases in Sweden in 2028.
Human care
• Proportion of engaged employees above 
benchmark.

ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES – GROUP
Note 1 Accounting principles
This interim report has been prepared in accordance 
with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) 
IAS 34 and applicable provisions of the Annual Accounts 
Act. The interim report for the Parent Company has been 
prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act 
and RFR2. The same accounting policies and calculation 
methods have been applied for the Group and the Parent 
Company as in the most recent Annual Report with 
addition for the reporting of interests in joint ventures. 
Joint ventures refer to companies in which Bilia’s holding 
corresponds to more than 50 per cent of the votes but 
has no significant influence. Holdings in joint ventures are 
reported according to the equity method.
New or revised IFRS standards to be used in the future are 
not expected to have any material effect on the consoli-
dated financial statements.
Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34, paragraph 
16 A, are made not only in the financial statements and 
related notes, but also in other parts of this interim report.
Figures in the interim report are rounded, which is why 
notes and tables may not add up.
Note 2  Fair value of financial instruments
Valuation principles and classifications of Bilia's financial 
instruments as described in the annual report for 2023 have 
been applied consistently during the reporting period.
To hedge electricity costs, Bilia has decided to use 
electricity derivatives to even out price variations on the 
electricity market. Bilia hedges gradually up to five years 
and builds up the volume of electricity contracts for each 
delivery date. The hedges meet the requirements for 
effectiveness, which means that the changes in value 
are recognised in other comprehensive income. The 
forward agreements used to hedge contracted purchas-
es of electricity are classified as cash flow hedges and 
amounted to a liability of SEK 9 M. 
Bilia's financial instruments in the form of currency 
derivatives are valued at fair value over the statement 
of income and are valued according to valuation level 2. 
The value of the currency derivatives was not material 
and did not constitute a significant item in the statement 
of financial position for the Group. Valuation of the cur-
rency derivatives at fair value has resulted in a income of 
SEK 2 M, which was matched by an cost for the reval-
uation of assets in foreign currency. The effect on the 
Group's result was therefore SEK 0 M.
Bilia's financial instruments valued at fair value over 
equity consist of put/call options issued in connection 
with acquisitions and are valued at fair value based on 
future exercise price according to valuation level 3. The 
option is reported as provisions in the statement of finan-
cial position and amounted to SEK 56 M.

Definitions and performance measures
DEFINITIONS AND PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Bilia applies guidelines from ESMA (European Securities 
and Markets Authority) concerning alternative perfor-
mance measures (APMs). Even though these perfor-
mance measures are not defined or specified by IFRSs, 
Bilia believes that they provide valuable information to 
investors and Bilia’s management as a complement to 
IFRSs for assessing Bilia’s performance.
Acquisition-related costs and value adjustments
Pertains to costs for legal consultants and other external 
costs associated directly with an acquisition, and value 
adjustments regarding acquired inventory assets, which 
are depreciated over the turnover rate of the asset.

Occurs in connection with acquisitions of operations and 
is recognised under intangible assets.
Capital employed
Balance sheet total less non-interest-bearing liabilities 
and provisions as well as deferred tax liabilities.
Comparable operations
Financial information and number of units that are 
adjusted for operations that have been acquired or dis-
posed of during one of the periods.
Deliveries
Cars that have been physically turned over to the custom-
er and invoiced and are included in reported net turnover.
EBITDA
Operational earnings plus total depreciation/amortisa-
tion less amortisation of surplus values and depreciation 
of leased vehicles with repurchase agreements. 
Equity/assets ratio
Equity in relation to balance sheet total.
Excluding IFRS 16
Information excluding the accounting standard IFRS 16 
Leases.
Gain from sale of operation

ation’s consolidated carrying amount, less selling costs.
Growth 
Increase or decrease of net turnover in relation to the 
preceding year.
Liquidity
Unutilised credit with Nordea and DNB and cash and 
cash equivalents.
Net debt
Net debt consists of interest-bearing liabilities less cash

es, value adjustments, restructurings and amortisation of 
surplus values. For the business areas operational earn-
ings are the only result measurement in use.
Operational margin
Operational earnings in relation to net turnover. For the 
business areas the operational margin is called “Margin”.
Order backlog
New cars ordered by the customer but not yet delivered.
Organic growth
Net turnover is adjusted for operations that have been

ment is also made for exchange rate differences and for 
calendar effect. Organic growth reported under Quar-
terly review for the Service Business relates to Sweden 
and Norway.

of the operations. Examples of structural costs may be 
costs for reducing the number of employees and costs 
for vacating a leased facility before the expiration of the 
lease.
Underlying values
Values that are adjusted for operations that have been 
acquired or disposed of during one of the periods. Ad-
justment is made for exchange rate differences, where 
applicable.

REVIEW REPORT
Auditor´s Review report
Bilia AB (publ) corp. id. 556112-5690
Introduction
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Bilia AB as of 30 September 2024 and 
the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the prepara-
tion 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 International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of 
Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial informa-
tion consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying 
analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance 
with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices and consequently does not 
enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an 
audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. 
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, 
in all material respects, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent 
 Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act. .
