Summarising comments by CEO Conny Ryk

Vestum continues to deliver strong growth with healthy margins and has entered into agreements to make 31 acquisitions since the Group was publicly announced on March 22, 2021, of which 29 were completed. The total 12-month rolling net sales for all 31 acquisitions is estimated to be SEK 4,365.5 million with an adjusted EBITDA of SEK 654.8 million and adjusted EBITA of SEK 517.8 million. That corresponds to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 15.0% and adjusted EBITA margin of 11.9%. This means we have strongly exceeded our previous assessment of doubling the business from when the Q2 interim report was published until the end of the year. Several significant events have taken place since the end of the third quarter. Among other things, we have established Vestum in new geographical markets through the acquisition of Lakers Group, carried out a directed share issue of SEK 2 billion that strengthened the shareholder base, raised our financial growth target, revised the target for capital structure and issued a bond of SEK 1.5 billion. Vestum is also planning to move its listing to Nasdaq Stockholm. That process has begun, and the listing is expected to take place within 18 months.

With established platforms in several new geographical regions and a strong management team in Sweden and Norway, in combination with a greatly improved balance sheet, we have enabled a continued high acquisition rate. We are facing competition in the M&A market but can also see that our competitiveness is solid, which has been proven during acquisition processes where entrepreneurs often say they can identify with Vestum and are attracted by our industry knowledge, entrepreneurial values and culture.

In summary, we have in eight months created a well-diversified Group consisting of more than 50 specialist companies within our two segments Services and Infrastructure, driven by a successful and active acquisition process. With platforms in Sweden and Norway as well as organisations in a number of other geographical regions, we have laid the foundation for ramping up our acquisition rate even more during 2022. We can state with pride that we have attracted many high-quality companies to Vestum, and we will continue to deliver shareholder value through continued high growth, organically and through acquisitions. We are convinced that with our deep knowledge of the construction services and infrastructure industries as well as entrepreneur-led companies, we are the best possible owner to develop these specialist companies over time.
