US strength continues

In the fourth quarter of 2024 we saw continued strong performance in the US with good margin development and cash generation. In Germany and Kazakhstan, we continued to reduce our balance sheet position to create a robust platform for profitable growth going forward.

The US market sentiment is generally good. Customers are optimistic and expect activity in construction and natural resources to increase. Dealers however hold elevated levels of machines in inventories and rental fleets. In the fourth quarter, the market for construction equipment in North America was largely unchanged from a very strong 2023. Our machines sales overall grew by 22% and we thus continued to gain market share. Our total revenue in the US in the fourth quarter was SEK 720m with an operating profit of SEK 65m, implying a strong operating margin of 9.0%. We also saw good cash generation. Service and parts sales were stable quarter-on-quarter. Inventory and rental fleet at the end of 2024 were higher than at the end of 2023. This is in line with our strategy to take market share in the important articulated hauler and excavator segments. Over time, we see potential to grow market share further and expand the machine population for our service and parts business. We also see potential to improve profitability by capturing a larger share of service and parts sales. We have initiated numerous projects during the year to this end, including further digitalization and development of our CRM, automatic lead generation and improved branding and marketing. We see potential for further expansion in the US when the time and opportunity is right.

In Germany, the market sentiment remained subdued. Economic activity dropped in the quarter and the German economy declined for a second consecutive year in 2024. The market for trucks declined by 14% in the quarter. Despite weak demand, OEMs and dealers continued to push trucks into the market, resulting in further price pressure. Our deliveries of new trucks, in units, almost doubled during the quarter on a combination of continued efforts to clear out old stock and strong order intake of new trucks in the previous quarter. We gained significant market share and decreased stock, but at the expense of low or negative margins. Given the current market conditions, we recognized impairment of another SEK 13m on our remaining stock. The new truck inventory level at the end of the quarter was SEK 166m, compared to 406m 2023. Service and parts sales were stable. Demand for repair and maintenance is high, but we struggle to find skilled technicians for the right locations and positions. This is a key focus area for 2025, and we have launched several initiatives to address the issue, including attracting technicians from around the world to Germany. On a positive note, our electric rental business continues to develop well, and our cost reduction program continues to show results. Our cost run rate is now in line with target.

Overall, revenue in Germany increased by 1% to SEK 559m. The operating result, including impairment, was SEK -41m. This is of course disappointing. With a leaner organization and a balanced inventory position, however, we are more resilient and in a good position to leverage on the organization that we have built so far.

In Kazakhstan, our sales of new machines, measured in units, was unchanged at 15. We also gave up margins to clear out old inventory and recognized an impairment of SEK 4m. Our

We are optimistic about the opportunities in the US"

total inventory in Kazakhstan at year-end amounted to SEK 107m compared to SEK 229m at the end of 2023. In Kazakhstan we are now also in a stronger position to capture opportunities in a growing market.

Total revenue decreased to SEK 33m, or 2.5% of the Group's turnover. The operating result was SEK -10m.

For the Group, revenue increased by 43% to SEK 1,312m. The operating result amounted to SEK 2m, or SEK 19m excluding the effect of the impairment of inventory in Germany and Kazakhstan. The net result was positively impacted by the depreciation of the Swedish krona. The Group's net debt increased to SEK 1,978m, mainly as a result of the acquisition of the American operations in November 2023 but also due to the expansion of the rental fleet in the US throughout 2024 and currency effects. Given the negative net result for 2024, the Board recommends that no dividend is paid.

Outlook

We are optimistic about our expansion into the US and the business opportunities we see. Demand is supported by a dynamic economy and a significant need to upgrade the country's infrastructure. While the new administration has paused many government initiatives, federal and state infrastructure programs are expected to continue to support demand. We also expect further large construction projects involving data centers and logistics hubs in the US Midwest. The German economy remains weak. We have taken actions to cut costs and make our organization and balance sheet more resilient. We are confident that demand in the service and parts business will remain strong and are optimistic about the long-term potential in the German market and the opportunities in e-mobility and sustainable transport solutions.

Kazakhstan represents a small part of the Group's business. We continue to see opportunities in the market.

Lars Corneliusson President and CEO

Group

Revenue

In Q4 2024, the revenue of the Group increased by 43% to SEK 1,312m (915). Sales of equipment and trucks increased by 31% and service and parts sales increased by 59%. Other revenue, mainly consisting of rental sales, increased by 162%. The increase in sales was mainly related to the addition of the US operations from 1 December 2023. Excluding the US operations, total revenue decreased by 3% to SEK 592m.

In 12M 2024, the Group revenue increased by 65% to SEK 4,720m (2,863). The sales of trucks and equipment increased by 35% and service and parts sales increased by 122%, mainly as a result of the Group's acquisition of the operations in the US in November 2023.

Gross profit and operating result

In Q4 2024, the gross margin for the Group increased to 16.5% (14.5). As a result of higher revenue and higher gross margin, gross profit increased by 62% to SEK 216m (133). The gross margin was positively affected by the addition of the US business. In Q4 2024, the gross margin was negatively impacted by an impairment of inventory of SEK 13m in Germany and SEK 4m in Kazakhstan.

As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased in Q4 2024 to 15.6% (21.5). The operating result for Q4 2024 increased by 104% to SEK 2m (-62). The operating margin during the quarter increased from -6.8% to 0.2%.

In 12M 2024, the gross margin increased to 18.1% (13.2). As a result of higher margin and higher revenue, gross profit increased by 126% to SEK 853m (377).

As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased in 12M 2024 to 17.5% (17.8). The operating result for 12M 2024 increased by 118% to SEK 21m (-115). The operating margin increased from -4.0% to 0.4%.

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. If the estimated net realizable value is lower than cost, a write down of inventories is made (IAS 2). Due to a supply-demand imbalance in the market for trucks in Germany, Ferronordic saw a growing price competition and margin pressure throughout 2024. Meanwhile, Ferronordic has seen weak demand for some of its older stock in Kazakhstan. As a result, the Company decided to recognize an impairment on trucks in Germany and machines in Kazakhstan for which there are no customer orders. The effect of the impairment was SEK 13m and SEK 4m in Germany and Kazakhstan respectively in Q4 2024. In 12M 2024 the effect of the impairment was SEK 44m in Germany and SEK 4m in Kazakhstan.

Net income

In Q4 2024, finance costs (net) amounted to SEK -34m (-15). Finance costs increased on higher interest rates and increased debt to fund the acquisition of the US operations and to expand the rental fleet in the US business. Foreign exchange gains (net) amounted to SEK 66m (-49.0) in Q4 2024, mainly as the Swedish krona depreciated against the US dollar and the euro.

The result before income tax for Q4 2024 increased to SEK 34m (-126). The result for Q4 2024 increased to SEK 9m (-89).

In 12M 2024, finance costs (net) increased to SEK -138m (-17). Foreign exchange gains (net) were SEK 77m (-21). The result before income tax for

12M 2024 increased by 74% to SEK -40m (-153). The result for 12M 2024 increased by 17% to SEK -89m (-107).

Earnings per share

Earnings per share before dilution in Q4 2024 amounted to SEK 0,65 (-6,11). Earnings per share before dilution in 12M 2024 amounted to SEK -6.15 (-7,39).

Cash flows

In Q4 2024, cash flows from operating activities decreased to SEK -480m (147). Working capital at the end of Q4 2024 was SEK 1,068m, largely unchanged compared to the end of Q4 2023 at SEK 1,063m. As a percentage of revenue, working capital increased to 23% (20.0% at the end of 2023) in Q4 2024, mainly due to lower payables.

Cash flow from investing activities in Q4 2024 amounted to SEK 553m (-1,112). The investment in 2023 was related to the acquisition of the US business.

In 12M 2024, cash flows from operating activities increased to SEK 340m (-27). Higher cash flows were partly a result of lower inventories and receivables.

Cash flows from investing activities during 12M 2024 amounted to SEK 33m (-1,215). Investments in 2023 were mainly related to the acquisition of the US business.

Financial position

On 31 December 2024, cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 363m, a decrease of SEK 63m compared to the end of 2023. Cash decreased mainly as a result of repayment of loans and purchase of machines to the US rental business.

At the end of Q4 2024, interest-bearing liabilities (including lease liabilities and effects of IFRS-16) amounted to SEK 2,340m, an increase of SEK 565m compared to the end of 2023. The increase is partly a result of a movement of trade payables to interest-bearing liabilities, mainly in the US and mainly related to financing of equipment for the rental fleet. The movement from trade payables to interest-bearing liabilities has no effect on cash flows. The net debt increased from SEK 1,349m at the end of Q4 2023 to SEK 1,978m at the end of Q4 2024, mainly as a result of the expansion of the rental fleet in the US.

On 31 December 2024, property, plant and equipment (PP&E) amounted to SEK 2,317m, an increase of SEK 489m from SEK 1,828m at the end of 2023. The increase is mainly related to the expansion of the US rental fleet.

On 31 December 2024, equity amounted to SEK 1,499m, a decrease of SEK 123m compared to the end of 2023. The decrease was partly a result of a negative Group result.

Parent company

In Q4 2024, the revenue of the Parent Company decreased to SEK -7m (9), mainly due to less equipment trading with subsidiaries but also as royalty that had been accrued from subsidiaries was reversed in the quarter. Administrative expenses decreased by 100% to SEK 0m (38), partly due to the release of bonus accruals. The operating result increased to SEK -6m (-26). The result for the quarter increased to SEK 37m (-45) mainly due to higher finance income and positive foreign exchange effects.

In 12M 2024, the revenue of the Parent company decreased to SEK 3m (36). Administrative expenses decreased by 63% to SEK 43m (118). The operating

result increased to SEK -42m (-82) in 12M 2024. The result for 12M 2024 increased to SEK 96m (-24), partly due to positive foreign exchange effects.

Foreign exchange rates

The following foreign exchange rates have been used to translate the Q4 2024 (Q4 2023) results to the presentation currency:

  • Average rates of SEK/EUR 11.43 (-0,5% vs 11.48) and SEK/USD 10.57 (-1,1% vs 10,69) have been used to translate the income statements.
  • End of period rates of SEK/EUR 11.49 (3,5% vs 11.10) and SEK/USD 11,00 (9,5% vs 10.04) have been used to translate the balance sheet.

The Group's currency exposure is mainly to the US dollar (USD) and the euro (EUR), from its US and German operations respectively. The Group also has exposure to the Kazakh tenge (KZT).

Employees

At the end of Q4 2024, the number of full-time equivalent employees in the Group was 794 (827), of which 370 (399) related to Germany, 363 (355) to USA, 44 (54) to Kazakhstan and 17 (19) occupied Group functions.

Sustainability

In Q4 2024, Ferronordic continued work to build institutional capacity to measure, report and follow up on its sustainability targets internally and as required by the CSRD and the ESRS.

Risks and uncertainties

Ferronordic is exposed to a number of operational and financial risks. The Group currently operates in the US, Germany and Kazakhstan, which means that the Group has business in two developed markets and in one emerging market. In developed markets, competitive, labour and regulatory pressure can be strong. In the US, the new administration has discussed raising import tariffs and introducing other trade restrictions. This could pose risk to Ferronordic, which depends on importing equipment to the US. In an emerging market, the institutional and regulatory frameworks can be unstable. The tax and judicial systems are not always transparent or consistent. Corruption can be a problem. Access to funding can be limited, monetary policy unpredictable and the currency unstable. Counterparty and insurance risks are often greater and instruments to manage such risks are either less effective or more expensive. In its position as a service and sales company, between suppliers and customers, Ferronordic is exposed to both supply and demand disruptions and to changes in macroeconomic activity. For more on risks and uncertainties, please refer to Ferronordic's annual report.

German efficiency enhancement program

In Q4 2023, Ferronordic launched an efficiency enhancement program in Germany. The program aimed at making Ferronordic's organisation leaner and more resilient by reducing both horizontal and vertical administrative units, while increasing the efficiency of the productive organisation. Ferronordic has thus reduced the number of regions in its sales area from four to two and has reduced a number of middle management roles. The German management team has been reorganised to include Group Executives with operational functions in the German business, including Group Commercial Director, Group HR Director and Group CEO. Ferronordic has also analysed its cost structure across all functional areas to identify opportunities to reduce costs without negatively impacting – and where possible improving – the productivity of the service and sales areas. One key objective of the program is to increase Ferronordic's absorption level in Germany, which is how much of its fixed costs are covered by the gross profit from its aftermarket business. As a result of the cost reduction program,

Ferronordic expects to save approx. SEK 60m annually, starting from Q3 2024.

Events after the reporting period

Other than as mentioned above, there were no significant events after the end of the reporting period.

Segments

From Q4 2023 Ferronordic recognises three separate reportable segments: US, Germany and Central Asia (CA) (see also note 5 on page 17). In the US, equipment and truck sales include sales of new construction equipment from Volvo, Hitachi, Sandvik, Link-Belt Cranes and Bergmann and used machines. In Germany, equipment and truck sales include sales of new Volvo Trucks and Renault Trucks, Renault light commercial vehicles and used trucks. In Central Asia (CA), equipment and truck

sales include sales of new and used construction equipment, used trucks and attachments. Service and parts sales are also referred to as aftermarket sales. Other revenue consists mainly of rental revenue. To show the underlying performance of the operating segments, Ferronordic shows unallocated Group costs and assets separately. These are costs that are incurred and assets that are held for the benefit of the Group as a whole.

1 Q4 2024 had extraordinary items, including the release of accruals, that lowered the Group costs in the periods. The amounts of such releases were approximately SEK 6,3m in Q4 2024.

2As a result of weaker demand for some of Ferronordic's products, the Company decided to revalue parts of its inventory in Germany and Kazakhstan in 3Q and 4Q 2024. In Q4 2024, the effect of the impairment was SEK 13m in Germany and SEK 4m in Kazakhstan. In 12M 2024, the

effect of the impairment was SEK 44m in Germany and SEK 4m in Kazakhstan.

Market and sales

The US economy continued to expand in Q4 2024, as GDP increased by an annualised 2.5%. Residential and non-residential construction spending increased by 6.1% and 3.0% respectively in December 2024. Investments in data and logistics centres have contributed to increased demand in Ferronordic's area but resource companies are also turning more optimistic about future prospects. Given uncertainty on policy from the new administration, the range of forecasts for economic growth in 2025 is between 1.5% and 2.7%. Many government investment programs have been temporarily paused but the need for infrastructure investment in the US has previously been a matter of bipartisan consensus. Dealers have accumulated stock during 2024 and there are some signs of growing price competition. In Q4 2024, the market for larger construction equipment (GPE segment) in North America was flat (+1%) compared to Q4 2023. In Ferronordic's sales area, the market is estimated to have decreased by 6%, mainly driven by a decline in excavators. Ferronordic's sales of new machines and conversions from rental fleet however increased by 22% compared to Q4 2023 in the GPE segment and the Company thus gained market share. Ferronordic increased its sales of excavators and wheel loaders in the quarter. In Q4 2024, Ferronordic sold 65 new units, 22 used units and 53 units were converted to sales from rental. The service and parts business was stable in Q4 2024.

Revenue and operating result

Revenue in Q4 2024 amounted to SEK 720m, with a gross margin of 24.8%. The operating result amounted to SEK 65m. The operating margin was 9.0%. In Q4 2024, 58% of revenue was related to sales of new and used equipment and conversions, 9% was related to rental and 33% to service and parts.

Cash flows and balance sheet

The net working capital at the end of Q4 2024 was SEK 587m, an increase compared to SEK 469m in Q4 2023 as inventory increased more than payables. As a percentage of full year revenue, working capital was 21% at the end of Q4 2024. The operating cash flow in Q4 2024 was SEK -455m.

12M 2024

In 12M 2024, revenue in the US amounted to SEK 2,813m with a gross margin of 24.4%. The operating result amounted to SEK 230m with an operating margin of 8.2%.

Germany

Market and sales

German GDP declined 0.2% in Q4 2024 and by the same 0.2% in full year 2024. In 2025, growth is expected at 0%. The IFO business climate index and the PMI manufacturing declined in December. The PMI points to a deep contraction in the manufacturing sector. The business sentiment in the German economy in general, and in the automotive sector in particular, is weak. Based on registrations of new trucks, the total German market for heavy trucks declined by 14% in Q4 2024 and by 13% in full year 2024. Tractor trucks declined but rigid trucks increased. New trucks registered in Ferronordic's sales area decreased by 8% in Q4 2024 and represented approx. 19% of the total German market. Manufacturers and dealers have however pushed trucks into the market despite weak demand, which has resulted in price competition and margin compression. Ferronordic continued to reduce its old stock at low and sometimes negative margins. In addition, Ferronordic also saw strong truck deliveries of orders taken in Q3 2024. Ferronordic's sales of trucks in units increased by 90% to 317, compared to 167 in Q4 2023 and 96 in Q3 2024. Used truck sales in units declined 59% to 47 as Ferronordic continued to decrease its stock of used trucks and its conventional rental fleet. Given the current market conditions, Ferronordic has recognized an impairment of another SEK 13m on its remaining inventory of trucks. Total inventory declined to SEK 262m in Q4 2024 from SEK 574m in Q4 2023. Service and parts sales remained stable in the quarter. Demand for aftermarket services remains strong but Ferronordic experiences a lack of mechanics on the market for some of its workshops.

Revenue and operating result

Total revenue in Germany increased by 1% to SEK 559m (555) in Q4 2024. Truck sales increased by 1%. Service and parts sales decreased by 4% to SEK 151m and as a share of revenue by 1pp to 27%. The gross margin decreased to 7.2% (8.4). Excluding the effect of the inventory impairment, the gross margin increased to 9.6%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 37% compared to Q4 2023 to SEK 68m (108). The operating margin increased to -7.3% (-11.1). The operating result increased to SEK -41m (-62). Excluding the effect of the inventory impairment, the operating result and margin improved to SEK -28m and -5.0%.

Cash flows and balance sheet

Cash flows from operating activities amounted to SEK 123m (68). Inventories declined more than payables and at the end of Q4 2024, working capital was at SEK 392m, or SEK 198m lower than in Q4 2023. As a percentage of revenue, working capital decreased to 23% compared to 26% at the end of Q4 2023.

12M 2024

In 12M 2024, revenue in Germany decreased by 25% to SEK 1,702m (2,271) with a gross margin of 8.7% (11.1). The operating result amounted to SEK -120m (-72) with an operating margin of -7.0% (-3.2).

Central Asia (CA)

Kazakhstan's GDP expanded by 4.8% in 2024 despite a decline in oil production. Strong growth was recorded in agriculture and construction. Inflation slowed down from 9.8% in 2023 to 8.6% in 2024. By the end of 2024, the Kazakh tenge however lost approx. 15% of its value against the US dollar, reflecting the depreciation of the Russian ruble and lower oil prices. As a result, the National Bank increased its base rate in December by 100 bps to 15.25%. High financing costs and poor access to funding is a limiting factor in the Kazakh market for construction equipment. In Q4 2024, the market for larger construction equipment (GPE segment) in Kazakhstan grew by 78% from a low Q4 2023. In 2024, the market increased by 35% compared to 2023. Ferronordic's sales of new machines in units in Q4 2024 remained unchanged at 15 (15). Sales of used construction equipment increased to 10 (8) units. Ferronordic continued to reduce its inventory position and sold machines at low or negative margins in the quarter. Given the age and current market conditions for some of Ferronordic's residual machines at year-end, a SEK 4m impairment was recognized. Total inventory declined to SEK 107m in Q4 2024 from SEK 229m in Q4 2023. Service and parts sales recovered from Q3 2024 but were lower than in Q4 2023.

Revenue and operating result.

Total revenue in Kazakhstan decreased by 38% to SEK 33m (52). Equipment sales decreased by 45%, while service and parts sales decreased by 16%. The gross margin decreased to -10.5% (8.9) and gross profit declined to SEK -3m (5).

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 2%. As a percentage of revenue, these expenses increased to 24% (15.3) on lower revenue. The operating result decreased to SEK -10m (-6), implying an operating margin of -30.5% (-10.7).

Cash flows and balance sheet

Сash flows from operating activities decreased to SEK -69m (23) as payables were settled at the end of the quarter. Working capital increased to SEK 113m, compared to SEK 67m at the end of Q3 2024, mainly due to lower payables and largely unchanged receivables. As a percentage of revenue, working capital was 55% at the end of Q4 2024, compared to 27% at the end of Q3 2024.

12M 2024

In 12M 2024, new machine sales in units decreased by 28% to 52. Revenue decreased by 28% to SEK 205m (284). The gross margin decreased to 9.0% (15.0). The operating profit decreased to SEK -12m (9). The operating margin declined to -5.9% (3.1).

Notes

1. Accounting policies

Ferronordic applies the IFRS® Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU. This report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and recommendation RFR 2 (only parent company), issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board.

The same accounting and valuation principles were applied in the preparation of this report as in the preparation of the 2023 annual report (regarding the 2023 financial year).

2. Determination of fair values

The basis for the determination of fair value of financial assets and liabilities is disclosed in note 5 in the 2023 annual report. The fair values of the Group's financial assets and liabilities approximate their respective carrying amounts.

3. Seasonal variations

Ferronordic's revenue and earnings are affected by seasonal variations in the construction industry in Central Asia. The first quarter is typically the weakest for sales of machines as activity in construction projects is constrained during the winter months. On the other hand, the demand in aftermarket (sales of service and parts) is usually strong since many customers use the quiet period to service their machines. Demand is typically stronger and relatively even through the rest of the year. In Germany, seasonal trends are less significant. During the summer US business tends to be lower. Rental conversion happens mainly in the 4th quarter.

4. Ferronordic AB (publ)

Ferronordic AB (publ) and its subsidiaries are sometimes referred to as the Group or Ferronordic. Ferronordic AB (publ) is also sometimes referred to as the Company. Any mentioning of the Board is a reference to the Board of Directors of Ferronordic AB (publ).

5. Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decisionmaker (CODM). The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing the financial performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Group Executive Management Team. The Group recognises three separate reportable segments: USA, Germany and CA. The segments are partly managed separately due to differences in markets, logistics, supply chains, products, customers and marketing strategies. For each segment, management reviews internal reports on at least a monthly basis. US sales are comprised of new and used construction and other equipment, aftermarket sales, rental, contracting services and other services. Germany's

sales are comprised of new and used trucks, aftermarket sales, rental, mobile crushers and screens and other services. Central Asia (CA), which currently refers to Kazakhstan, has sales comprised of new and used construction and other equipment, mobile crushers and screens, used trucks, aftermarket sales, rental, contracting services and other services.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as described in Note 4 of the annual report 2023. Group overhead costs, such as Group management costs, are allocated between the segments using principles set forth by the CODM. Information regarding the results of each segment is presented on page 7 of this report. The performance of each segment is mainly evaluated based on revenue, gross profit, gross margin, EBITDA, operating profit and operating margin, as included in internal management reports that are reviewed by the Group's Executive Management Team. The Group had no inter-segment revenues during the periods presented.

Information on Group segments is presented in the front part of this report.

6. Contingencies

Besides as disclosed in this report, the Group has no material contingencies. The Parent Company has issued a number of guarantees, all as security for the subsidiaries' obligations visà-vis suppliers and financial institutions.

7. Related party transactions

There have been no significant changes in the relationships or transactions with related parties for the Group or the Parent Company compared with the information disclosed in the 2023 annual report.

8. Earnings per share

The calculation of earnings per share is based on the result attributable to the shareholders and is thus calculated as the result for the period divided by the average number of shares outstanding. Dilution can potentially follow from the Group's incentive program for its executive management, which includes warrants. For more information, please refer to Ferronordic's annual report for 2023.

Key ratios

Financial information for individual quarters

The financial information below regarding individual quarters during the period 1 October 2022 – 31 December 2024 is collected from Ferronordic's interim reports for the relevant quarters.

Key ratios

Certain key ratios in Ferronordic's interim reports are not defined according to IFRS.

Selected key group ratios

The company considers these ratios to provide valuable supplementary information for investors and the company's management as they enable the assessment of relevant trends. Ferronordic's definitions of these measures may differ from other companies' definitions of the same terms. These ratios should therefore be seen as a supplement rather than as a replacement for measures defined according to IFRS. As the amounts in the tables below have been rounded off to SEK m, the calculations do not always add up due to rounding.
