Comments by the President and CEO

Record operating profit
In the third quarter, we report record operating profit and currency adjusted sales growth of 5%. The sales growth was driven by strong acquired net growth of 4% and a small positive organic sales growth, while currency effects were -3%. The North America non-residential and Latin America segments contributed to good organic growth of 4% in the Americas division. Global Technologies delivered good organic growth of 2% with very strong growth in Global Solutions and Physical Access Control in HID returned to growth. Sales growth was stable in EMEIA, with good growth in Central Europe and the Nordic region. Entrance Systems and Asia Pacific reported negative organic growth in the quarter. Weak demand in the logistic vertical as well as in the residential market affected Entrance Systems negatively. Asia Pacific was affected by a worsened development in the Chinese real estate market.

Despite a challenging market, we delivered strong operational execution during the quarter. The operating profit increased by 8% to SEK 6,255 M, which corresponds to an operating margin of 16.7%, up 100bps versus last year. The operating profit and margin improvement is driven by price realization, effective cost management and synergy realizations in our acquisitions. The operating cash flow totaled SEK 6,341 M in the quarter, with a cash conversion of 118%.

Further opportunities to improve the underlying performance
Since the pandemic, we have achieved significant improvements in our operating margin. In the last twelve months, the operating margin has been 16.6%, excluding the acquisition of HHI. However, we have further opportunities to improve the underlying performance. For example, in our EMEIA division we see opportunities from a recovery in the currently weak residential markets, particularly in the Nordics, and from the implementation of further MFP measures. There are also opportunities in Entrance Systems from growing the service business. In Americas, we see opportunities from an improved underlying demand in the residential segment and from realizing further synergies in HHI. Global Technologies has potential to accelerate its growth as we see Physical Access Control turning positive. The Asia Pacific division will improve its performance with a recovery in the residential market as well as through efficiency measures. While we clearly have opportunities to further improve the underlying performance in all divisions, we will continue with our acquisition strategy and continue to invest in innovation, hence, the target level of 16-17% operating margin remains unchanged.

High acquisition activity
During the quarter, we closed seven acquisitions representing annualized sales of about SEK 4 billion, including SKIDATA and Level Lock. SKIDATA is an international leading provider of access solutions for parking and mobility as well as sports and entertainment. Their operations are in close adjacency to our core and enable us to offer a fuller range of solutions to our customers. Level Lock is an exciting technological addition, strengthening our digital offering with its innovative smart locks that are invisibly embedded inside the door. We see great opportunities to use this technology in the commercial segment in Americas as well as in Latin America. Going forward, our acquisition pipeline remains very active.

Lastly, thank you for your continued trust in ASSA ABLOY.
