Comments from the CEO

“The second quarter of the year was one of intensive integration. In May, we completed the implementation of our joint IT and business system in Tools in Sweden, the transition to a new pricing system in Sweden and the relocation of the logistics operations of Tools in Alingsås to Örebro.”

“The late deliveries caused by disruption to logistics processes have had a negative impact on sales to larger industrial customers in Sweden.”

“The continuing unrest in the world around us makes for uncertain market conditions but demand on our markets has stabilised relative to the first quarter.”

“We have a strong financial base and with our shared platform now in place in Sweden we have better conditions to continue working on sales management and implementing our Nordic range.”

Significant events during the second quarter

• The Annual General Meeting on 11 May voted for the re-election of the Board members Göran Näsholm, Stefan Hedelius, Cecilia Marlow, Johan Sjö and Christina Åqvist and for the election of Pontus Boman in line with the proposal of the Nomination Committee. Johan Eklund had declined re-election. Göran Näsholm was re-elected Chair of the Board.
• The Annual General Meeting on 11 May resolved, among other things, to issue a dividend of SEK 1.75 per share and to approve the implementation of a long-term incentive programme for senior executives in line with the proposal of the Board of Directors. The incentive program was fully subscribed.
• Alligo signed a lease for a newly constructed logistics centre in Vestby Logistikpark, south of Oslo. Alligo’s two existing logistics units in the Oslo area will both relocate to the new premises, which extend over 16,000 square metres, beginning in autumn 2023.
• Alligo acquired H E Seglem AS, which has a store in Egersund in south-west Norway and sells industrial products, tools, forestry and gardening equipment, workwear and personal protective equipment. The acquisi­tion was conducted as a conveyance of assets and liabilities.

Events after the end of the period
