After the sale, Latour holds 21.1 per cent of outstanding shares in the company and remains its principal owner.  The shareholding in Alimak increased during the year to 29.6 per cent following acquisition of 210,000 shares. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD On 8 January, Densiq, within Latour Industries, acquired the entire shareholding of the Danish company VM Kompensator A/S, which in 2020 generated net sales of DKK 23 m. 1 The calculation of the net asset value on 11 February was based on the value of the investment portfolio at 1 p.m. on 11 February and the same values as at 31 December were used for the unlisted portfolio. Comments from the CEO "Despite the second wave of the pandemic hitting with full force and impacting Latour's business to varying degrees, the wholly-owned industrial operations grew organically in the fourth quarter. Our fourth-quarter performance was very strong. Although we are coming through the crisis relatively unscathed, we expect the uncertainty created by the pandemic to continue until it is over. Our operations are fully prepared to take additional measures, if and when necessary. The fourth-quarter order intake was up 3 per cent and invoiced sales 6 per cent when adjusted for acquisitions and exchange rate movements. Operating profit increased by 37 per cent in the quarter to SEK 593 m (434 m) with a strong operating margin of 14.8 (12.1) per cent. When adjusted for acquisitions and exchange rate movements, we outperformed the previous year's operating profit by 28 per cent. The whole year was marked by the pandemic and its effect on the global economy. Net sales rose 9 per cent to SEK 14,783 m (13,516 m) and the operating profit increased by 16 per cent to SEK 2,117 m (1,827 m) with an operating margin of 14.3 (13.5) per cent. These figures are very pleasing and confirm that we own sustainable and well-managed companies. Our business areas have been giving the highest priority to the health and safety of employees while at the same *** managing their operations to respond to the challenges that have arisen throughout the year in the best way possible. They have taken significant actions to mitigate the impact of the virus, above all by adopting a rigorous approach to cost control. The operations have benefited from government support schemes where appropriate, but only to a relatively small extent and primarily in the regions hit hardest by lockdown measures. Such government funding received in the fourth quarter was much less than in the third quarter and the second quarter in particular, and the impact on earnings in the quarter was marginal. As in the previous quarter, we have observed various trends and impacts depending on which market and segment one looks at. Generally, it can be said that the countries of northern Europe have been less affected than the rest of Europe. The operations in Asia and North America have experienced relatively positive growth. We have a diversified portfolio of holdings that are exposed to different geographic markets, customers and product segments, which has alleviated the negative impact of the crisis. Moreover, the majority of our companies are well-positioned in markets that are showing good growth potential which promotes positive development. One example of this is Caljan, whose customers are benefitting from the increase in online shopping. The level of acquisition activity during the quarter has been high. Swegon has acquired SLT Schanze Lufttechnik. Furthermore, we have signed agreements for three more acquisitions: Vega for Latour Industries, Fristads AB, Kansas A/S, Kansas GmbH and Leijona Group Oy for Hultafors Group and Elsys for Bemsiq. The acquisitions of Vega and Elsys were finalised in early January 2021 and the acquisition of the Fristads companies is expected to be completed in February. Read more about our acquisitions on page 4. Pandemic or not, we're looking ahead and investing in the future to maintain our competitive edge and grow our market share. Latour enjoys a strong financial position and is continuously investing in various projects across product development, sales and marketing. We remain committed to our focus on sustainability and digitalisation, which are key to underpinning future growth. In the fourth quarter, we established Latour Future Solutions, an investment area targeting sustainability-focused growth companies. Latour will enter as a minority shareholder in companies, where we can support them with our industrial expertise to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable society. We have begun by investing in Gaia Biomaterials, a company that develops and manufactures biodegradable biomaterials from renewable sources to replace fossil-based plastics. Since the beginning of the year, the investment portfolio has increased by 9.1 per cent when adjusted for portfolio changes and dividends, while the benchmark index (SIXRX) increased by 14.8 per cent. The underlying growth in earnings of the companies has, with a few exceptions, also been good considering the pandemic. Most of the companies have been hit by a fall in organic sales, but have demonstrated considerable resilience and are posting good operating profits. The net asset value in Latour increased by 13.7 per cent to SEK 153 per share for the full year. The Board of Directors proposes that the dividend be increased to SEK 3.00 per share, which is 9 per cent above the original dividend proposal in 2020. Last year's dividend was later reduced to SEK 1.25 per share for precautionary reasons." Johan Hjertonsson President and CEO
