CEO Gerteric Lindquist’s report
Continued good sales and
earnings performance
Overall, good demand so far but with large variations. Return to normal delivery times.
The Group’s sales in the first nine months of the year grew by 23.2%
(26.6%), of which 17.4% (23.6%) was organic growth. The weak Swedish
krona had a positive effect on sales growth, as did the price increases
introduced in the first half of the previous y ear. In real terms, organic
growth was well above the target of 10%, however.
Overall, growth in demand was good in the period, but there were
large variations between markets and product segments. The Central
banks’ measures to combat inflation, primarily by means of interest rate
hikes, have had an adverse effect on new production of housing in par-
ticular. This, in turn, has a dampening effect on several product seg-
ments directly related to housing production.
Our strong position in product segments aimed at the property re-
furbishment market as well as product segments focusing on sustaina-
ble energy solutions gives us a robust profile now when the financial
environment is getting noticeably weaker.
The improvement in the components supply chain that could be
seen towards the end of the first half of the year continued in the third
quarter. This enabled us to bring our own delivery times back to more
normal levels.
The acquisitions carried out so far in the financial year have been
fully integrated into the Group in line with expectations.
The business area NIBE Climate Solutions The heat pump market in
Europe began to grow rapidly already during the pandemic, boosted by
the renovation trend triggered by the pandemic. Growth was further
boosted by the spike in energy prices caused by Russia’s abominable
invasion of Ukraine. At the same time, several ambitious incentive pro-
grams for heat pump installations were launched in a number of coun-
tries within the EU.
However, at the midyear point, the strong European heat pump mar-
ket started to slow down somewhat . The reasons for this were that a
number of countries started to review their incentive programs, energy
prices started to fall, the higher interest rates started to make them-
selves felt, while it became apparent that distributor inventories were
not only too large, but to some extent also comprised products that for
various reasons were not the first choices of end-consumers.
The reported quarterly percentage increase in the number of heat
pumps produced and delivered from the manufacturers was found to
be unrealistically high in the long run, not only for the reasons men-
tioned above, as well as a shortage of installers, but also from a quality
and sustainability perspective. Now that the transition from fossil heat-
ing solutions to heat pumps is underway, end-customers must be able
to feel reassured that both products and installations are of the highest
quality, and this also applies to future service and product liability.
Many European countries have now completed the reviews of their
incentive programmes for installation of heat pumps and although in
some cases the programs are less generous than before, they continue
to provide very clear guidance and substantial financial assistance. The
necessary adjustments to inventories will be of a transitory nature and
also appear to have had a lesser effect on manufacturers that struggled
to fulfill orders from distributors at the height of demand.
Interest rate developments are of course difficult to predict with any
great certainty, but the general consensus appears to be that interest
rates are close to peaking, and experience tells us that when it becomes
clear that this is the case, new producti on of housing will start to in-
crease.
Our assessment continues to be that the European heat pump mar-
ket, with the exception of one or possibly a few coming quarters, will
show good, continuous annual growth for the forseeable future, be-
cause it is one of few realistically sustainable alternatives for climate
control of both existing and newly produced housing and most other
types of property.
Unlike the European heat pump market, the North American market
has shown positive development and even achieved an increased rate
of growth, primarily as a result of the US administration’s extensive
transition program, the “Inflation Reduction Act”, which, unlike the more
short-term and country -specific programs in Europe, offers end -con-
sumers clear economic incentives to invest in a heat pump in the next
10-year period.
The wide-ranging investment programs, which focus on even faster
and more efficient product development, increased production capac-
ity and additional efficiency measures, will be launched gradually. For
example, it is worth mentioning that we are far ahead of the EU sched-
ule for transition to natural refrigerants.
Operating profit as well as operating margin have improved as a re-
sult of the growth in sales, the normalized supply chain and hereby im-
proved productivity. Compared with the corresponding period in the
previous year, it is important to remember that the operating profit at
the time was boosted by combined non- recurring effects of SEK 118
million.
The business area NIBE Stoves continued to see a split in demand in
Europe. While growth in demand for wood -fired products remained
good, gas-fired and pellet stoves showed weaker development. In North
America, the entire stove market has seen demand drop in the current
financial year, particularly with regard to gas-fired products.
Just like the other two business areas, the supply chain situation in
terms of components has returned to normal and, combined with our
own capacity increases, we are now gradually returning to more normal
delivery times.
The ambitious investment program is progressing according to plan,
and the main focus, as described previously, is on future capacity and
improved efficiency.

NIBE · INTERIM REPORT 3, 2023 3
Besides the ongoing work of developing new model series, large re-
sources are allocated to better control the combustion in wood -fired
stoves, as well as to reduction of the amount of particles from wood
burning. The first model series featuring electric control of the combus-
tion air, also possible via smartphone has already been launched, and
the first products featuring advanced particle filtering will be launched
in 2024.
Operating profit was higher than in the corresponding period in the
previous year, but the cost adjustments carried out, together with high
marketing and development costs, have had an adverse impact on op-
erating margin in the short term.
The business area NIBE Element, in much the same way as NIBE
Stoves, has seen uneven development in demand. Product areas asso-
ciated with pure consumer goods saw weaker development as a result
of the economic downturn. This, in turn, has necessitated inventory ad-
justments among our cust omers, which meant the downturn affected
us twice over in the short term.
The semiconductor segment also saw weak development, primarily
as a result of trade policies. However, this segment is expected to start
growing again already in 2024 as the new semiconductor production
units currently under construction in both North Amer ica and Europe
gradually start to take delivery of new production equipment during the
year.
As regards product segments associated with sustainability, renew-
able energy and energy efficiency, we are seeing a clear increase in de-
mand.
We are also seeing significant opportunities in the electrification of
the automotive industry and several major ongoing projects will enter
into full scale production as early as next year.
The relatively weak performance of the wind power industry in the
current financial year has been slightly surprising, considering the
hopes and expectations linked to the future of this segment in particu-
lar. The main reason for this is that most countrie s have long planning
permission processes. However, the assessment is that this situation
too could improve slightly in 2024
After many difficult quarters with constant shortages of compo-
nents we are pleased to say that our delivery reliability has returned to
a satysfying level.
We are implementing significant investments in both capacity and
efficiency in order to meet expected demand in more future- oriented
product areas. In parallel with this, product areas with lower levels of
demand are being streamlined. This measure has had an adverse effect
on operating profit and operating margin.
Investments
The level of investment in the existing activities in the first nine months
of the year amounted to SEK 2,277 million, compared with SEK 1,300
million in the corresponding period in the previous year. Excluding
leases, depreciation amounted to SEK 922 mill ion, compared with SEK
819 million in the first half of the previous year. In view of the expected
continued good market conditions in all three business areas, together
with further automation, rationalizations and sustainable development,
the rate of investment in our existing businesses will remain high. In the
next three to four years alone, accumulated investments are expected
to amount to around SEK 10 billion, of which around half will comprise
increased production capacity.
Profit
Operating profit for the first nine months of the year improved by 35.4%
compared with the corresponding period last year and the operating
margin rose from 14.0% to 15.4%.
Profit after net financial items improved by 26. 9% in the first nine
months of the year, while the profit margin rose to 14.2% from 13.7% in
the previous year.
Excluding the one-off effect of write-downs of SEK 114 million in the
first quarter of 2022 in respect of our Russian operations and the one -
off gain of SEK 232 million on the sale of our shares in Schultess in the
second quarter of 2022, the operating mar gin in the first nine months
of 2022 would have been 13.6% and the profit margin 13.3%.
Gerteric Lindquist
Managing Director and CEO
Outlook for 2023
• Our corporate philosophy and our strong range of products, with
their focus on sustainability and energy efficiency, are in tune with
the times because the transition to a fossil-free society is
considered to be irrevocable.
• We are well prepared to continue being proactive on acquisitions.
• Our internal efforts to enhance efficiency, combined with our
rigorous cost control, will ensure consistently healthy margins.
• All three business areas have a good geographical spread, which
makes us less vulnerable to local downturns in demand.
• Our decentralized organisation, based on independent units, is well
proven and creates the conditions for greater motivation and
flexibility.
• The pandemic effects are continuing to fade, which is a very
significant and positive factor.
• The problems relating to sub-suppliers have gradually diminished
over the year and are no longer an obstacle.
• The effects of the war in Ukraine, general political unrest, interest
rate developments and high energy prices are factors that are
difficult to predict, however.
• However, as is our habit, and based on experience, we remain
cautiously optimistic about our full-year performance.

Sales
The Group’s net sales totalled SEK 34,993 (28,404) million. This corresponds
to growth of 23.2 %. Of the total increase in sales of SEK 6,589 million, ac-
quired sales amounted to SEK 1,651 million, which means that organic sales
increased by 17.4%.
Profit
Profit after net financial items for the period was SEK 4,953 million. This
equates to a 26.9% increase in earnings compared with 2022. In the same
period in the previous year, profit after net financial items amounted to SEK
3,904 million. Net financial items amounted to SEK -428 million at the end of
the period, an increase of SEK 357 million compared with the same period of
the previous year. The increase in net financial costs was due the general
interest rate situation because the Group’s credit facilities mostly have vari-
able interest rates. Profit for the period was charged with acquisition expen-
ses of SEK 92 million (SEK 11 million). Return on equity was 17.9% (16.4%).
Acquisitions
At the beginning of January 2023, NIBE acquired 65% of the shares in the
Canadian stove company Miles Industries Ltd, which has sales of around CAD
75 million. We have an agreement to acquire the outstanding shares not later
than in 2026. The company was consolidated into NIBE Stoves as of January
2023. The acquisition balance sheet is still provisional.
In June, we entered into an agreement to acquire all shares in the Dutch
group Climate for Life (CFL), which has sales of around EUR 221 million and
operating profit before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)
of EUR 40 million, correspond ing to an operating margin of 18.1%. The pur-
chase price amounted to SEK 7,154 million. The group was consolidated into
the NIBE Climate Solutions business area as of August 2023. The acquisition
balance sheet is still provisional.
In July, we acquired 83.2% of the shares in the Portuguese stove com-
pany Solzaima and we have an agreement to acquire the remaining shares
by 2028. The company has sales of around EUR 20 million. Solzaima is part
of NIBE Stoves and has been consolidated with effect from August 2023. The
acquisition value is still provisional.
In July, we also acquired 77.5% of the shares in the Irish elements com-
pany Ceramicx Ireland Limited, which has sales of around EUR 10 million. We
have an agreement to acquire the outstanding shares in 2025. The company
is part of NIBE Element and has been consolidated with effect from August
2023. The acquisition balance sheet is still provisional.
Investments
During the year, the Group made investments totalling SEK 10,908 million
(SEK 2,873 million). A total of SEK 8,631 (SEK 1,573) million of the investments
relate to business combinations. The remaining SEK 2,277 (1,300) million
mainly comprised investments in machinery and equipment and buildings in
existing operations. The investment amount relating to acquisitions is based
on both initial considerations and an estimate of additional considerations to
be paid.
Cash flow and financial position
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital
amounted to SEK 5,096 million (SEK 3,845 million). Cash flow after changes
in working capital amounted to SEK 1,586 million (SEK 1,521 million). The
increase in working capital was primarily due to stockbuilding of components
and materials that were ordered to protect us against the supplier problem.
No actual season-related stockbuilding has taken place. Interest-bearing li-
abilities at the end of the period amounted to SEK 22,353 million . compared
with SEK 11,357 million at the start of the year. The increase in liabilities since
the beginning of the year was due to investments in the Group’s production
facilities and business acquisitions. At the end of the period, the Group had
cash and cash equivalents of SEK 4,750 million, compared with SEK 5,441
million at the start of the period. The equity/assets ratio at the end of the
period was 44.4%, compared with 51.8% at the start of the year and 51.0% at
the corresponding time in the previous year.
Parent
Parent activities comprise Group executive management functions, certain
shared Group functions and financing. Sales for the year totaled SEK 37 (SEK
33) million and profit after financial items was SEK 848 (SEK 1,643) million.

Market
Energy efficiency and environmentally friendly climate control of prop-
erties of all sizes are at the top of the international agenda. Heating of
properties accounts for 40% of global energy consumption and heat
pumps are being promoted internationally as the most natural and effi-
cient alternative to oil and gas boilers. The EU “Green Deal” is the driver
behind the move away from fossil fuels in Europe. A sustainability tran-
sition program, the “Inflation Reduction Act”, is also underway in North
America.
We are seeing strong interest in heat pumps internationally, but at
the same time the unsettled global situation, deteriorating economy
and higher interest rates are impacting consumers’ purchasing power
and consequently short-term demand in many markets across Europe.
Of our processed markets, however, a number show continued growth,
such as, for example, the Netherlands, which has come a long way in
the transition to fossil -free fuels.The German market also shows con-
tinued growth.
Lack of political clarity in a number of European countries concerning
the form of future subsidies has contributed to what we consider to be
a mostly temporary slowdown in demand reported by manufacturers
since the half-year mark. It has also become apparent that of the large
number of heat pumps manufactured in recent quarters, a significant
proportion have not been installed but are instead held as inventory at
various stages in the supply chain from manufacturers to wholesalers
and installers. This has also contributed to the slowdown in demand
seen by manufacturers. However, in Germany and Denmark, for exam-
ple, the conditions and time frames relating to subsidies were finalized
in the third quarter. This is expected to have a positive impact on de-
mand in the future but probably not at the rate previously forecast by
the industry.
The North American market is continuing to perform well in respect
of heat pumps, which we believe is the result of a combination of a gen-
uine desire on the part of end -consumers to make the transition from
fossil fuels and government measures such as a ro bust and long-term
incentive program.
Our units in Eastern Europe reported a downturn in demand com-
pared with the very sharp upturn recorded in the corresponding period
of the previous year. Several of these markets, in which we are well rep-
resented both through our own production of water hea ters and sales
of heat pumps, are continuing to switch to heat pumps in order to re-
duce dependence on coal, gas and oil. Our assessment is therefore that
the market development will start to move in a more normal, positive
direction once inventory adjustments have been implemented.
The rate of growth in the Swedish domestic market for heat pumps
was strong, as the industry’s delivery capacity in respect of heat pumps
has improved significantly. There is considerable underlying demand for
replacement products, while new -build of single- family houses has
slowed markedly from an already low level. We have a strong market po-
sition in both segments, which enables us to adapt to changes in the
market.

NIBE’s newly launched S-series A+++ geothermal heat pump is a smart inverter-
controlled heat pump featuring an integrated water heater and climate-friendly
refrigerant. The Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP) amounts to a
whole 6.22, which means tha t 1 KWh of electrical energy produces 6.22 KWh of
heat energy. The S-series featured integrated WiFi, enabling the use of wireless
accessories.

NIBE · INTERIM REPORT 3, 2023 7
Operations
We continued to focus on boosting our production capacity. At the same
time, the subcontractors that supply our most critical components have
also increased their respective capacities. The end -result is that we
now have a completely different level of stability in our delivery situa-
tion and more normal delivery times, and we are consequently regaining
the trust of the market. We also continued to see an upturn in respect
of delivery performance in North America, where low unemployment
levels have been a ch allenge when it comes to finding and retaining
workers.
Because we are convinced that heat pumps are the most energy -
efficient and climate- friendly solution for climate control of buildings,
we are continuing to invest in heat pump production capacity in several
of our European operations as well as North Ameri ca, the slight slow-
down in demand notwithstanding. Alongside this, we are also expand-
ing our production capacity of pressure vessels, which are an important
component of heat pump installations. Our brand new and unique Inno-
vation Center in Markaryd was co mmissioned during the third quarter
and will play a vital part in safeguarding our future product development
and help attract new development engineers.
Proactive product development and frequent launches of new high-
performance products within all areas of application are basic prereq-
uisites for continued expansion. We are at the cutting edge and have
already launched the natural refrigerant R290 for two of our three heat
pump families, with the launch for the remaining family due in 2024,
which means we are ahead of EU requirements. In the fall, we also
launched the market’s most energy- efficient and smart geothermal
heat pump ever, with a more climate- friendly refrigerant into the bar-
gain. This is the result of a wealth of experience of geothermal heat
pump development combined with innovative technology.
We are continuing to implement large-scale international marketing
campaigns. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has identified heat
pumps as a key technology in the transition to renewable energy
sources and consequently also in reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
Because Sweden has been at the vanguard in the transition from fossil
fuels to heat pumps and NIBE is a market -leading operator, we joined
forces with the IEA to share our experiences with the international mar-
ket at several events during the year.
Integration of the Dutch group Climate for Life (CFL), which was ac-
quired at the end of June, is in full swing and we have already identified
interesting opportunities in terms of both revenue and costs.
Operating profit improved thanks to volume growth and improved
materials supply, which benefited productivity in particular. Exchange
rates continued to have a slightly positive impact. Overall, this led to an
improvement in the operating margin compared with the corresponding
period of the previous year, and we are well prepared for the future.
Completed investment projects
Considerable progress has been made in the major changes taking place in the western industrial area in Markaryd. In the fall , both
product development personnel and production personnel moved into the new Innovation Center. The entire building has been
awarded a Miljöbyggnad Gold rating, which means sustainability has been taken into consideration in everything from building de-
sign to choices of materials for interior design. The new production unit for heat pumps is also complete and installation of produc-
tion equipment is in full swing. The entire building has been awarded a Green Building rating, which means that the building has at
least 25% better energy performance than the requirements set by the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planni ng
for the construction of a new building.
The new heat pump production plant has reached completion and is ex-
pected to come on stream in the new year. The building comprises a
total area of 16,500 square metres. Behind this, on the right, the new
production plant for stainless steel water heaters is taking shape, while
in the distance, the extension to the stove production facility, which is
currently under construction, can be seen..
The new advanced technology Innovation Center, which houses 200
new individual offices, has also reached completion. The building
comprises a total area of 8,400 square metres. The laboratory con-
tains all the test equipment, including new EMC chambers, req uired
to be able to carry out the advanced testing required to meet require-
ments for the development of new products. This will ensure top qual-
ity and shorter lead times in product development.

Market
Sales from wood-fired stove products in Europe remain high, thanks to
very strong demand in the previous fall and winter season and generally
limited production capacity in the industry. This resulted in extended
delivery times. The unsettled global situation and higher energy prices
prompted many consumers in Europe to invest in a secondary source of
heating to safeguard heat supply, resulting in an extraordinary spike in
demand and subsequent huge order backlogs throughout the industry.
However, orders received have fallen substantially compared with the
extraordinary upturn in fall 2022.
Demand in Scandinavia remains good, and there is a lot of interest
in investing in stove products. Rising interest rates and uncertainty
around future economic developments are affecting both the residen-
tial refurbishment and new construction markets, which in turn will also
impact the stove sector in the long term.
In Germany, which was one of the markets reporting the largest
growth in 2022, demand remains strong. It is clear that the dependence
on gas must be reduced, which means interest in alternative heat
sources is growing. Demand is also driven by government requirements
under which older products that do not meet applicable Ecodesign re-
quirements will not be allowed in the future.
The rise in the cost of living, and subsequent reduction in spending
power, meant demand for gas -fired and electric stoves in the UK re-
mained weak at the beginning of fall 2023. Demand for wood -fired
products has also fallen recently, following the strong start to the year
driven by the high energy prices in 2022.
In France, rising pellet prices resulted in reduced demand for pellet-
fired stoves and French consumers chose to invest in wood-fired prod-
ucts instead. This means that the overall market is at roughly the same
level as in the previous year, but the product mix is very different.
Demand in the North American market has been weaker throughout
the first nine months of the financial year and demand for gas -fired
products, which continue to account for the largest share of the market,
fell sharply. Demand for wood -fired products has al so performed less
well compared with the previous year, while interest in electric stoves
is growing steadily, albeit from a low level.
Operations
Although orders received for wood-fired products have fallen recently,
at the same time as production capacity has improved, we still have
large order backlogs, resulting in relatively long delivery times for new
orders. Delivery times will gradually improve as production capacity im-
proves further. At the same time, we have adjusted production capacity
for gas -fired products to prevailing market conditions in both North
America and the UK.
At the beginning of July, we acquired 83% of the shares in the Port-
uguese stove company Solzaima, which has a very broad product range
consisting primarily of pellet products, but also wood-fired products for
both secondary and primary heating. The acquisition of Solzaima ena-
bles us to gain a proper foothold in the pellet products market. Because
this product range accounts for the bulk of the market in southern Eu-
rope, Solzaima complements our Group both geographically and in
terms of products, and the c ompany will play a key part in our future
expansion.
The rise in sales was not reflected in operating margin, which was
lower than in the corresponding period of the previous year. To mitigate
the sharp fluctuations in demand between different types of products
and regions, we have adjusted production to match prevailing demand,
which is affecting the operating margin in the short term. At the same
time, we are continuing our long -term investments in marketing and
product development. The former will enable us to realize our long-term
ambitions for growth, and the latter will enable us to meet the require-
ments of future consumers with an even stronger focus on sustainabil-
ity.

Sales and profit
Sales for the period totaled SEK 3 ,432 million,
compared with SEK 2 ,772 million in the corre-
sponding period of the previous year. Of the in-
crease in sales of SEK 660 million, acquired sales
accounted for SEK 484 million, which means that
organic growth was 6.3%.
Operating profit for the period totaled SEK 365
million, compared with SEK 335 million in the previous
year. This equates to an operating margin of 10.6%,
compared with 12.1% in the previous year. This means
that the operating margin for the past 12 months is
12.4%
The newly acquired Portuguese company Solzaima’s products include pellet
stoves featuring a new, innovative and more efficient automatic cleaning sys-
tem and a touchscreen for simple control of the system. A Wi -Fi kit is included
as standard, enabling remote control of the stove using a smartphone..

Market
Demand remained strong in several of the business area’s market seg-
ments during the period, but there were considerable variations be-
tween segments. This requires significant flexibility and preparedness,
as well as adaptation of operations.
We saw an increase in demand in several of our most important mar-
ket segments, particularly products linked to sustainability, renewable
energy and energy-efficient solutions. This applies to both products for
private and commercial use. However, the impro ved delivery situation
for many raw materials and components, together with increased fi-
nance costs, has meant that many customers are now reducing their
inventories, which in turn will have a negative impact on demand for a
limited period of time.
The ambition to reduce greenhouse gas emissions also means that
the number of industrial projects based on electric heating is growing
steadily. Demand for various kinds of energy storage solutions is also
growing. The majority of these solutions involve some form of electric
heating and control. Demand for products for the wind power industry
declined as a result of a significant drop in the number of projects in
2023, largely due to delays in permitting processes. However, the as-
sessment is that this market will improve significantly next year.
Demand for products in the consumer segment, such as domestic
appliances and direct electric heating, showed a clear reduction com-
pared with the previous year. This was due to a combination of signifi-
cantly lower consumer demand and inventory adjustments by our cus-
tomers.
The electrification of vehicles is presenting new business opportu-
nities for us, with regard to both passenger cars and commercial vehi-
cles. We are conducting a number of development projects with large
international customers and the products will enter s eries production
next year. The projects relate to several of our product areas and pro-
duction facilities. Demand in the railway sector is growing.
Demand in the semiconductor industry has been weak since the
USA introduced trade restrictions in respect of exports of advanced
technology to China at the end of 2022. Investments in expanding the
semiconductor industry in both North America and Europe in order to
reduce dependence on Asia in this important technology area will boost
demand for our components in the long term. Demand in the semicon-
ductor industry has also historically been cyclical, and when demand
falls in certain product segments, the semiconductor industry’s invest-
ments also decline. However, demand is expected to recover again in
2024, partly driven by new AI applications. We will also be launching a
number of new products within the semiconductor segment going for-
ward.
Operations
To meet growing demand in segments with strong organic growth, we
have continued to boost production capacity in our units both through
new recruitment and capacity investments. At the same time, we have
reduced our production capacity in segments with fal ling demand.
Alongside this, we have implemented additional investments in robotics
and automation as well as productivity improvement measures in order
to maintain competitiveness and keep the operating margin at the tar-
get of 10%.
Exchange rates remain volatile, with a considerable effect on pricing
and competitiveness. In this situation, our international presence with
production units in different currency zones gives us a clear advantage.
In general, there are labor shortages in many of the countries in which
we have production units.
In July, we acquired 77.5% of the shares in the Irish elements com-
pany Ceramicx, which is a leading producer of infrared heating compo-
nents and systems. The acquisition supplements our product portfolio
in industrial electrical heating, a sector that is sh owing strong growth
as a result of efforts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
Despite falling demand in key product segments, overall growth has
been strong. Although all operations have rapidly adapted to prevailing
demand, the operating profit has been adversely affected by the short-
term drop in demand, and subsequent readjustmen t costs, in several
profitable growth segments, at the same time as we have absorbed
costs from investments in those segments in order to meet an expected
increase in demand in the coming years.

Sales and profit
Sales for the period totaled SEK 8 ,915 million,
compared with SEK 7,988 million in the corre-
sponding period in the previous year. Of the in-
crease in sales of SEK 927 million, acquired sales
accounted for SEK 252 million, which means that
organic sales increased by 8.4%.
Operating profit for the period totaled SEK 758
million, compared with SEK 874 million in the previ-
ous year. This equates to an operating margin of
8.5%, compared with 10. 9% for the previous year.
This means that the operating margin for the past
12 months is 8.5%.
The newly acquired company Ceramicx specializes in infrared heating. The
company has produced a headlight de-icing element for vehicles that can be
used in temperatures down to -30 °C. Current LED lights produce much less
heat than previously, which has been shown to often cause a buildup of fog
and ice on headlights, making driving difficult in adverse weather conditions

SERVICE CONTRACTS
For certain products in Climate Solutions, NIBE offers customers the opportunity to sign one-year service contracts, under which NIBE undertakes to perform
maintenance service and remedy certain defects that are not covered by the warranty provided. The scope of defects cannot be reliably predicted, so pricing
is based on experience. Payment is received from customers annually in advance, so deferred income will be taken up as revenue gradually over the coming 12-
month period.
EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD CONTRACTS
For certain products in Climate Solutions, NIBE offers customers the opportunity to sign contracts for warranty periods that exceed those provided as standard.
Standard warranty periods depend both on the type of product and the market in question. The longest contracts expire within six years. The scope of defects
cannot be reliably predicted, so pricing is based on experience. Payment is received from customers on delivery of goods. Def erred income will be taken up as
revenue gradually over the coming six-year period.

Accounting policies
Risks and uncertainties
NIBE Industrier’s consolidated accounts are prepared in accordance with International Fi-
nancial Reporting Standards (IFRS). NIBE Industrier’s interim report for the third quarter of
2023 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. Disclosures
in accordance with IAS 34 16A are presented in the financial statements and related notes
as well as in other parts of the interim report.
For the Group, the accounting policies applied in this report are the same as those de-
scribed on pages 100–139 of the Annual Report for 2022. The Group started to apply IAS 29
Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies in 2022 as a result of its op erations in
Turkey. Application had an effect on opening balance equity in 2022 as comparative figures
are not restated.
Reporting for the Parent follows the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Fi-
nancial Accounting Standards Board’s recommendation RFR 2 Reporting for Legal Entities.
Related party transactions have taken place to the same extent as in the previous year
and the same accounting policies have been applied as those described on page 101 of the
company’s Annual Report for 2022
NIBE Industrier is an international indus-
trial group that is represented in around
40 countries. As such, it is exposed to sev-
eral business and financial risks. Risk man-
agement is, therefore, an important pro-
cess relative to the goals that the com-
pany has set up. Throughout the NIBE
Group, efficient risk management routines
are an ongoing process within the frame-
work of the Group’s operational manage-
ment and a natural part of the continual
follow-up of activities. It is our opinion
that no significant risks or uncertainties
have arisen in addition to those described
in NIBE Industrier’s Annual Report for
2022.

Review report
We have reviewed the summary interim financial information (interim
report) of NIBE Industrier AB as of 30 September 202 2 and the
ninemonth period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Man-
aging Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation
of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Ac-
counts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this in-
terim 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 Fi-
nancial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the
Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making
inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and account-
ing matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A
review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in ac-
cordance with International Standards on Auditing and other gener-
ally accepted auditing practices.
The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain as-
surance that we would become aware of all significant matters that
might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an au-
dit 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.
