Good morning and welcome to this presentation of Svedbergs Group's quarterly report for Q1. We are going to present here today me, Per-Johan Andersson, who is the head of the company, as well as Ann-Sofie Davidsson, CFO for Svedbergs Group. Before we go into the results for the first quarter, a few words about Svedbergs Group. We are a company that owns and develops strong brand companies in Europe. Our companies design and sell products for bathrooms. In some cases, we also produce these products. Today, we operate on the Nordic, British and Dutch markets, and our ambition is to grow organically. It is important for us to have growth and to develop existing companies and the expansion and acquisition of well-off companies, mainly entrepreneurial-driven, that complicate our business geographically, product-wise and or broadly. Our ambition is to contribute by consolidating the northern European market for bathroom furniture and shower solutions. In this geography, we see the possibility of developing our consultancy into an even better group of strong local companies. Vi har idag ett antal varumärkesbolag som har starka positioner på respektive marknad. We have a number of companies that have strong positions on the respective markets. Totalet omsatte koncernen senaste verksamhetsåret 2023 drygt 1,8 miljarder svenska kronor, men i bitar på 13,2%. I dessa siffror var T-Balux med en del på drygt en månad. Hade vi haft T-Balux för helåret 2023 hade omsätten uppgått till 2,8 miljarder och en bitar på knappt 320 miljoner kronor. Se vi till fördelningen av försäljningen under Q1 så är RoppeRoads det största segmentet med 58% under totalomsättningen, förutom Svedbergs på 20%, Tebalux på 18%, Makro 7% och Kasse 4%. Nu har vi highlights från Q1. Vi har börjat 2024 starkt, både omsättningsmässigt och resultatmässigt. Vårt senaste förvärv, Tebalux, presenterar bra och RoppeRoads fortsätter att prestera bra med fortsatt omsättningsökning, starkt marginal och ett bra resultat på en nivå bedömd The reason for this is a strong and inexhaustible focus on product development with the new product launches in combination with the organisators' ability to develop the business with new revenue streams. We have had a fluctuating supply development on the Swedish and Finnish markets, which we consider weaker than the rest of the markets in the Nordic countries, primarily in the Svedberg segment. Makodesign and Kasse performed in line with Q1 last year. Vi fortsätter att arbeta med förbättrad effektivitet som bland annat visar sig i en förbättrad bruttomarginal samtidigt som vi kontinuerligt justerar våra kostnader till rådande konjunkturläge. Ett bidrag i detta är naturligtvis till Balux som agerar med en högre marginal. Vi fortsätter att fokusera på att arbeta med hållbarhet in i alla våra verksamheter och vi ser att vi får effekt på vårt klimatavtryck sveg för skog. Our sales in the quarter increased by 20% to 572 million, compared to 476 million in the previous year's Q1. This means an organic growth of minus 4%. A large part of the contribution is naturally to Balux and Trooper Roads. We managed to achieve an increased share of 84 million kronor compared to 64 million kronor and a share of 14.6%, which means that we are approaching our financial goal of 15% in the share. Vårt operativa kassaflöde under kvartalet var negativt, 49 miljoner, svagare än föregående år och det fria kassaflödet var minus 58 miljoner i kvartalet jämfört med föregående år, minus 11 miljoner kronor. Vår nettoskuld i förhållande till EBITDA är 2,7 jämfört med 2,3 föregående år. Detta innefattar även kommande earnouts. Exkluderar vi earnouten uppe på Roadstivalux hamnar vår nettoskuld i förhållande till EBITDA på 2,1. Se vi till försäljningen per segment i geografi. Vår försäljning per land i Q1 ser ut som i översta cirkeldiagrammet där UK står för 48%, Sverige för 20%, Nederländerna för 18%, Danmark och Norge för vardera 4% och Finland för 2% och övriga marknader för 4% gällande segmenterna kommenterade på tidigare bilder men ni ser spridningen på de olika segmenten. Svedbergs experiences a stronger demand for essential sales channels compared to previous years. This is a turnover in the quarter of 113 million against 146 million in previous years. It is an increase of 78. Result-wise, Svedbergs has reached a share of 8 million compared to previous years of 24 million in the quarter. Distribution and sales are visible in the diagram, where Sweden is the largest market, followed by Finland, and the assessment of the Swedish market is harshly affected by higher inflation and higher interest rates. If we look at the macro, we have basically had sales in the quarter in line with the previous year. Sales during the quarter went up to 42 million kronor and can be divided into 4 million. Compared to the previous year, the sales were a little higher, 44 million, and also then it was divided into 4 million. The market design market is mainly Sweden and Norway, where Sweden accounts for 65%. Market Design has, at the end of the previous year, realized that the installation of bathroom furniture has, in this way, increased its margin and at the same time has the opportunity to strengthen customer satisfaction through a consolidated delivery. If we then look at Kasse, they have managed to achieve a high profitability of 19.6% per piece, despite the market situation. It is slightly lower than the previous year, but still at a high level. A sales level with the previous year at 23 million, but in pieces at 4 million. It is very satisfactory that Kasse continues to deliver results at this level. As you can see in the circle diagram, Denmark is the largest market with 91% of total sales. Roperoad is developing, as I mentioned initially, in a very positive way, and in the quarter sales increase to 289 million, an index of 110, and it is trading at 49 million, or 17%. Our assessment is, as I mentioned earlier, that we take market share on the British market by caring for customer relations and continuously developing our assortment together with progressive sales efforts. Storbritannia is the largest market, 95% of the total sales and the invested part of the sales goes to Ireland. Tebalux, which is the largest consumer, came in at the end of November last year. There we have explained the differences in comparison figures. Tebalux is a well-established producer and supplier of bathroom furniture on the Dutch market with some exports to neighboring countries. Through Tebalux we have added two strong brands, PrimaBard and Tebalux to our group. I kvartalet uppgår till försäljningen till 105 miljoner med en ebita på 26 och en ebitaprocent på hela 24,8%. Vi har arbetat ihop ett tag med organisationen i Holland och det har gått mycket bra. Naturligtvis är det en förändring för det här med att gå från ett familieägt bolag till att ingå i en börsnoterad koncern. Nu lämnar jag över ordet till Ann-Sofie.
Tack så mycket.
Om vi börjar titta på försäljningen och tillväxt så ser vi en fin utveckling i kvartalet. Vi ser en tillväxt som är förvärvad med 22% och vi har en negativ organisk tillväxt på minus 4%. Valutan påverkar försäljningen positivt med cirka 2%. Jämför vi med kvartal 1 föregående år som var ett relativt starkt kvartal för alla våra segment så är det en mer blandad bild i år. Förvärvet av Tebalux och den starka utvecklingen för RopeRoads påverkar nettomsättningen positivt medan efterfrågan på de nordiska marknaderna påverkas negativt av det allmänna The next picture shows sales development since Q1 2020. If we follow the curve for rolling 12, we see a significant increase during 2021-2022. Strong demand and acquisition of Rupert Roads affected sales positively at that time. And after that, the sale has been in a trend of around 1.8 billion kronor. Now we see that the curve is rising again to get closer to a whole year's income of over 2 billion kronor. As previously mentioned, the acquisition of TVA Lux, the strong development of Rope Rose and the currency has positively affected the sale.
