Mixed performance

"Trelleborg's third quarter was marked by a trend in which some market segments and geographies, respectively, moved in different directions. Organic sales increased 1 percent and acquisitions contributed 2 percent while exchange rate effects impacted sales negatively by 3 percent. EBITA, excluding items affecting comparability, declined 2 percent, corresponding to a margin of 17.3 percent (17.6).

The quarter generally developed in line with our expectations. However, during the latter part of the period, the macroeconomic environment weakened, particularly affecting some industrial segments. This mainly impacted our deliveries to construction and agricultural machinery. In the aerospace industry, underlying demand remained at a good level.

Overall, net sales were on par with the preceding year. We benefited greatly from our flexible structure, which allowed the Group to quickly adjust and offset a somewhat weaker economic climate. Additional measures are planned for the fourth quarter. Despite the macroeconomic developments, all three business areas showed slight organic growth, which is a sign of strength in this context.

Organic sales in Trelleborg Industrial Solutions were somewhat higher despite a strong year-earlier period. Demand among the industrial market segments was varied, with primarily sales to LNG and larger infrastructure projects distinguishing themselves positively. By contrast, sales to the construction industry remained sluggish in both Europe and North America. The operating margin declined, due primarily to a favorable impact in the comparative period from extraordinary business related to the Panama Canal.

Performance in Trelleborg Medical Solutions was stable, with organic sales of polymer solutions largely unchanged in both Europe and North America. The previously announced acquisition of Baron Group was finalized a few weeks into the quarter, which resulted in a onethird increase in the business area's sales while the operating profit increased by as much as two thirds. Integration of the acquisition has proceeded

successfully and supported the improved margin. New capacity in several different geographic regions is being built up in the business area in order to meet an expected increase in demand in coming years.

Organic sales for Trelleborg Sealing Solutions increased marginally compared with the preceding year. Profitability was also reassuringly stable. Sales to the aerospace industry remained favorable, impacted only marginally by an ongoing strike in the industry. Deliveries to the automotive industry increased in Europe and Asia but declined in North America. In the general industry market segment, the weaker performers were primarily deliveries to construction vehicles and agricultural machinery in North America.

Substantial investments in the organization continues within a number of rapidly expanding market segments and are expected to have a positive effect in several dimensions in the long term. We can see favorable prospects for further growth through a stronger local presence. Our build-out of new production units continues in several geographic regions with good growth and cost structure. Examples are Costa Rica, Morocco, Vietnam and India. Additionally, we are expanding and upgrading several existing production units in, for example, in the US, Bulgaria and Malta.

External factors are continuing to create significant uncertainty regarding market developments moving forward. Meanwhile, we are highly confident in our ability to address the fluctuations in the market. Due to our leading market positions and our financial status, Trelleborg stands very strong. For the fourth quarter, our overall assessment is that demand will be slightly lower than in the third quarter of the year."

Peter Nilsson, President and CEO

This journey began in the 1950s with leading solutions in aircraft hydraulic systems.

New nozzle gasket enhances safety in chemical rail transport

Trelleborg has launched a new elastomer gasket for the manway located on top of chemical transport tanks. The seal features robust mechanical strength while resisting chemicals and a wide temperature range, minimizing the risk of non-accident releases. The seal is an extension of the Tran-SECURE™ Program, which provides components critical for repairing and maintaining railcars used for chemical transport.

Risk management

Trelleborg serves a broad range of customers in a variety of industries and niches. The business has a wide geographic spread. The Group has operations in around 40 countries, sales are conducted in just over 140 countries worldwide and manufacturing operations are carried out at approximately 100 production units. The business is diversified geographically and within a number of industries, which provides Trelleborg with an effective underlying risk spread.

Demand for the Group's products and solutions largely moves in line with fluctuations in global industrial production. The Group focuses on industries and geographies with good growth that can deliver consistent results even when negative economic fluctuations occur in individual industries.

Long-term risks. Trelleborg has identified the relevant areas based on strategic risks, operational risks, regulatory compliance risks, and financial risks that may result in damage or loss with substantial impact on the entire Group and, therefore, justify management of the risk exposure at Group level.

For information regarding the Group's risks, risk exposure and risk management, refer to the latest Trelleborg Annual Report, www.trelleborg.com.

Short-term risks. Geopolitical uncertainty in several regions could result in increased inflation in several dimensions and create disruptions in delivery and supply chains, thereby complicating logistics and making it more expensive. Trelleborg has continuously addressed challenges that have arisen through flexible and global production, but has also proactively managed prices to address cost increases.

This report has been subject to review by the company's auditor.

Trelleborg, October 24, 2024 Board of Directors of Trelleborg AB (publ)

Review report

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim report for Trelleborg AB (publ) for the period January 1-September 30, 2024. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Intependent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not, in all material respects, prepared for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

Trelleborg employs a number of alternative performance measures related to financial position, including return on equity and capital employed, net debt, equity ratio and equity/assets ratio. The Group deems the key figures useful for the readers of its financial reports as a complement for assessing the possibility of dividends, implementing strategic investments and considering the Group's ability to meet its financial commitments. In addition, Trelleborg uses the cash-flow measurements of operating cash flow and free cash flow to provide an indication of the funds the operations generate to be able to implement strategic investments, make amortizations and pay returns to the shareholders. Trelleborg uses the operational

performance metrics of EBITA and EBIT excluding items affecting comparability, which the Group considers to be relevant for investors seeking to understand its earnings generation before items affecting comparability.

Measurement techniques used to calculate fair value of level 2

Level 2 derivatives comprise currency futures and interest swaps and are primarily used for hedging purposes, but also for trading. Measurement of the fair value of currency futures is based on the published forward rates in an active market and on the discounted contractual cash flows. Measurement of interest swaps is based on forward interest rates prepared on the basis of observable Swedish interest curves and discounting of the contractual cash flows.

Measurement techniques used to calculate fair value of level 3

A financial interest-bearing receivable of SEK 49 M (47) is recognized at fair value. An assessment of the most likely outcome has been determined. The present value of this amount has been calculated. Interest-bearing non-current liabilities include additional purchase payments according to contract of SEK 1,133 M (-). An assessment of the most likely outcome has been determined. The present value of this amount has been calculated.

Disclosure on fair value of borrowings and other financial instruments

Financial interest-bearing liabilities, except for financial derivatives that adjust loans, are recognized at amortized cost. Changes in interest-rate levels and credit margins create differences between fair value and amortized cost. Measurement at fair value would decrease the Group's non-current loans by SEK 2 M. No remeasurement was made for current loans because the carrying amount is regarded as a good estimate of the fair value due to their short term.

Related parties. No material changes occurred for the Group or the Parent Company in relations or transactions with related parties, compared with what is described in Note 12 of the 2023 Annual Report.

At the Annual General Meeting, held in April 2024, the decision was taken to introduce a performance share plan, PSP 2024/2027, which includes the President and Group Management, whereby participants invest in shares in Trelleborg AB. Each invested share entitles the holder to receive a maximum of three shares free of charge after the publication of the year-end report for the 2026 fiscal year. Allotment requires compliance with certain performance-based conditions and that the participant remains employed within the Trelleborg Group. For further information, refer to the decision taken at the Annual General Meeting on April 24, 2024. To date, the recognized costs for 2024 are not significant.

The Trelleborg Group is a world leader in engineered polymer solutions. The Group had sales of approximately SEK 34 billion in 2023 and operations in some 40 countries.

With Trelleborg's material expertise and industry insight in cutting-edge areas with rigorous requirements, such as the aerospace and automotive industries, as well as healthcare & medical, the Group is creating the sustainable industrial solutions of today, shaped by such trends as electrification, digitalization, industrial automation, and new sustainable materials. The Group's polymer-based solutions are often critical to the functionality of the customers' advanced end products.

The engineered solutions are based on unique sealing and damping properties of polymers such as rubber and plastic. The solutions save energy and reduce CO2 emissions, eliminate noise and vibrations, and dramatically extend the lifecycles of machines and medical devices as well as skyscraper facades.

Trelleborg's climate targets were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in the fourth quarter of 2023. Resource efficiency and circularity are becoming part of Trelleborg's DNA.

Better platform than ever. Trelleborg's way of achieving results - a strongly decentralized organization built on local responsibility and personal dedication - form the basis of the Group's model for profitability and business success.

Despite the turbulence in its operating environment, Trelleborg delivered a strong financial performance in recent years. Trelleborg's financial capacity is healthy.

Accelerated growth. A number of industries have been identified as growing more than the industrial average in the years ahead – Trelleborg is therefore placing additional focus on developing its business in these segments.

The fast-growing industries will act as a driving force for other areas at Trelleborg, which through innovations, differentiation and greater global reach is expected to grow in the upper range of the industrial average.

There will be a greater focus on company acquisitions that strengthen Trelleborg in attractive industries.

Sustainability leader in the industry. Trelleborg is working systematically to increase the share of bio-based and recycled raw materials in everything it develops. The ambition is to be the sustainability leader in the industry. The Group's climate target is to halve direct and indirect CO2 emissions by the end of 2030 compared with the base year 2021, and, during the same period, reduce emissions along the value chain by 25 percent.

Bespoke strategy for each business. A common feature shared by all parts of Trelleborg is its engineered polymers with unique sealing and damping properties. The longstanding customer relationships are all built on close innovation with renowned industrial players.

Trelleborg's operational businesses are different, so they have bespoke strategies to achieve leading positions in their markets.

An improved Trelleborg. The technological development and climate transition in society favor the Group, where Trelleborg is playing a part and developing the industrial solutions of tomorrow. The Group raised both its financial and sustainability targets in conjunction with its Capital Markets Day held in May 2023.
