AQ Group AB (publ)

Okay, it's 9.30. I welcome you all to the AQ Group investor presentation after Q2. We start with a picture from a data center because I will talk a little bit about data centers today. What we deliver at the data center, you can see on the left. I will try to show these cubicles here. They are Part of our delivery to our customer, and then this is part of their delivery to the data center. And it's a transformer and an inductor inside. I think it's a really beautiful product. I hope you agree.

Is now exiting.

So normally I start with this slide, why to invest in AQ Group. As we see it, earnings per share CAGR 40% over the past 10 years. We made profit every quarter since the foundation in 94. We're exposed to industrial market segments with underlying growth, such as electrification, where we also include data centers, defense, and medtech. We have a long history of acquisitions. We acquire two to four factories per year. We have acquired two factories this year, and we have a strong balance sheet and a net cash position. On quick facts about AQ, we're 8,000 employees. We have roughly 9 billion sector turnover. We have 70 different business areas and more than 15 market segments where we deliver to. We are manufacturing in 17 countries with 4,000 customers globally. We made profit every quarter for the last 30 years. And then we talk about earnings per share, not something else. And then we have a 14% earnings per share category the last 10 years. And we make acquisitions. And then we are part of UN Global Compact since 2012, which is our sustainability initiative, which we think is really good. Now to some numbers, second quarter. We increased net sales with 10%, which is shy of our target of increasing with 15, to 2.5 billion sales.
