CEO statement "NIG continued to perform well during the second quarter of 2019, following our long term strategy. The sales figures are well ahead of previous year. With a negative difference in currency-effect YTD of SEK 6.4m compared to 2018 in mind, the underlying EBITDA of the Group is strong. Both operating segments (Norway and Sweden) have performed well. The sales related to the school market in Sweden have not been at the expected level so far into 2019. But the underlying trend in Sweden is good for this market and we see our Group well positioned to take part in this growth in the years to come. The remaining business areas of the Group delivers according to, or better than, plan. The integration of Sørlie Prosjektinnredninger will be accelerated further for the remaining of 2019. Different projects related to IT, purchase, sales etc will be initiated. During second quarter Sørlie Prosjektinnredninger renewed its frame agreement to the major municipalities in its main home region for the next 2-4 years with a yearly estimated sales value of NOK 20m, giving comfort that they will meet the Group's ambitious targets for the company. Through Sørlie NIG aims to increase its turnover towards customers requesting fixed furniture fittings. The Group has through its daughter company Sarpsborg Metall agreed to take over the Agentur for Fossafe products in Norway. The product range is mainly fireproof filing cabinets, document cabinets, secure office cabinets, etc. This will broaden our portfolio making us more complete towards our customers, with an estimated revenue of appr. NOK 10m per year. Our growth within workstations in Sweden to industrial customers continues at full strength. The agreement with Volvo Car Corporation gives us necessary volumes to further invest in employees within this segment, and we see this business area as one of the most exciting growth sectors for our Group in the years to come."
Ståle Eide, CEO Tranås, 30th August 2019

Financial review Q2 2019 Income statement The Group reported revenue of SEK 225m (SEK 183m) and EBITDA of SEK 15m (SEK 16m) in Q2 2019. Order intake was SEK 262m (SEK 234m), corresponding to an increase of 12 % compared to Q2 2018. EBIT for the Group was SEK 6.3m (SEK 5.2m) and net profit SEK -4.2m (SEK -1.0m). Gross margin for the Group in Q2 2019 was 38.9% (40.7%). The main reason for the decrease in gross margin is the acquisition of Sørlie Prosjektinnredninger that has somewhat lower gross margin compared to Group average. As described above we have several initiatives ongoing to improve Sørlie Prosjektinnredninger's margin going forward. Segments NIG is divided into two segments, NIG Norway (Norway) and NIG Sweden (Sweden). Norway delivered SEK 116m in revenue (SEK 73m) and SEK 11.2m in EBITDA (SEK 14.3m) during the quarter.

Gross margin for the Group in 2019 was 38.6% (40.3%). The main reason for the decrease in gross margin is the acquisition of Sørlie Prosjektinnredninger that has somewhat lower gross margin compared to Group average. The negative difference between the FX-loss in 2019 compared to the FX-gain in 2018 is SEK 6.4m. Segments NIG is divided into two segments, NIG Norway (Norway) and NIG Sweden (Sweden).

Risk and uncertainties The Group´s main risks and uncertainties are related to its high exposure to certain markets. In addition, the Group has financial risk related to primarily currency risk, interest rate risk related to its financing and credit risk related to sales.
Outlook The Board of Directors is pleased with the 2019 first half year results. The order intake is good within most of our business areas. The market is still strong for our main categories. With our broad product portfolio and geographical footprint, the opportunities for succeeding in the sales going forward remains strong. The integration of our latest acquisition, Sørlie Prosjektinnredninger, is progressing according to plan and we expect to generate positive synergy-effects already in 2019. The Board of Directors would also take the opportunity to thank Ståle for a tremendous job growing and streamlining North Investment Group through his persistence and dedication, making the Group ready for its next phase with Ole Vinje as CEO. With Ole's long experience from IT industry we see his experience within digitalization together with operation and automation of logistics as a perfect match for our Group in the years to come. The Group is continuously looking for new strategic acquisition targets mainly in the Nordic region combined with a strong focus on succeeding through profitable organic growth.

Accounting policies The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the cost method. All amounts are in thousands of Swedish kroner, unless otherwise stated. The Parent Company applies Recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities, issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board, and the Annual Accounts Act. The application of RFR 2 means that the Parent Company, in the interim report for a legal entity, applies all IFRS and statements approved by the EU as far as possible within the framework of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Pension Obligations Vesting Act, with consideration taken to the relationship between accounting and taxation. The accounting policies applied correspond to the accounting policies and measurement principles presented in the 2018 Annual Report. The 2018 Annual Report is available at www.northinvestmentgroup.se. The Group applied IFRS 16 Leases as of January 1, 2017. For more information see Annual report. The Group has not implemented new or changed standards in 2019 with material effects on the Group's financial position and results.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the Group’s accounting policies. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated, and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.
Risks and risk management Exposure to risk is a natural part of business activity and this is reflected in NIG's approach to risk management. Responsibility for the management of the group’s financial transactions and risks is centralised to the parent company. The main risk exposure is related to financial risks. See note 3 in the Annual Report.
Seasonal variations The Group has seasonal variations related to one of its main categories; school furniture. A high share of these deliveries is related to 3rd quarter.
Related party transactions The Group has immaterial transactions with other companies in the majority share owners´ Group. In addition; through the acquisition of Sørlie there has been a private placement towards the previous owner of Sørlie, who is also an employee in Sørlie.
