CEO's review (Patrik Lundell)

The year started in an atmosphere of cautious consumption

The first quarter is a time of preparation for the upcoming summer season in the beverage industry. In March, we were already able to launch new spring and summer products, of which we have a total of around 90 at Group level. In addition, we buffered products required for the summer season in stock, which helps us ensure smooth deliveries. Our new high-bay warehouse in Iisalmi was commissioned at the beginning of April and will significantly improve our ability to deliver products during the summer season.

Commercially, 2025 has started on an uncertain note. Consumers' purchasing power has not improved. Uncertainties in the world economy and politics, industrial action in Finland, and significant increases in excise

duties in the Baltic countries have exacerbated the situation. As a result, overall demand in the market has been even more subdued than expected, and competition has intensified in the retail sector. However, for the rest of the year, our expectations are optimistic, especially in terms of consumers' purchasing power. Development measures in line with our strategy, new seasonal products, clear commercial priorities and committed personnel contribute to creating confidence in the future.

Our vision is to be the preferred multi-local beverage company. In 2025, we will continue to implement our strategy systematically, both at Group level and locally, guided by our values and through strong partnerships – positively and together.

Financial development

January–March 2025

Sales volume decreased by 2.9% to 199.2 (205.1) million litres. The comparability of the previous year is affected by the fact that Easter is observed in April in 2025 and was observed in March in 2024. Easter is the first major sales season in the early part of the year. The development of sales volumes was also affected by the uncertainty of the general market situation, the weak development of consumers' purchasing power, and product range optimisation measures in Finland and Denmark. Yet the sales volume in Belarus has increased through overall market growth.

Despite the decline in sales volume, market shares have remained at the previous year's level in the main product categories. In line with our targets, we have been able to further improve the sales volumes of non-alcoholic products. Net sales increased by 1.9% and were EUR 132.8 (130.4) million.

The adjusted operating result increased by 10.9% from the comparison period and was EUR 12.4 (11.2) million. Profitability improved in Finland and Belarus, while profitability decreased in the Baltic Sea segment. The relative operating result improved from the previous year and was 9.4% (8.6%) of net sales. The operating result is traditionally lower than the full-year level in the quiet first quarter. Historically, January–March represents around 15% of the full-year result.

Segment-specific business development: January–March 2025

Finland: profitability improved – strike affected delivery capacity

The net sales of our business operations in Finland decreased by 1.5% to EUR 49.9 (50.7) million, and the sales volume decreased by 5.7% to 54.6 (57.9) million litres. A one-week strike at the Iisalmi plant in March affected delivery capacity. In addition, consumers' purchasing power has not improved significantly, affecting the development of overall demand. In terms of product categories, the sales of water and hard seltzers continued to grow, while the product portfolio optimisation measures taken in beers in 2024 had a negative impact compared with the corresponding period in the previous year. Despite the changes, the market share of beer has remained strong, at more than 50%.

The operating result of our Finnish business operations was EUR 4.2 (3.5) million. The operating result improved by 18.7% year-on-year, mainly as a result of improved production efficiency, the stabilisation of cost increases and changes in the product range. We will continue to take measures in line with our strategic targets to improve profitability by developing the product range and improving cost-effectiveness, among other means.

Baltic Sea: purchasing power remained weak – interest in domestic brands grew

The sales volume in the Baltic Sea region decreased by 5.1% to EUR 75.1 (79.1) million. Net sales decreased by 3.3% and were EUR 51.3 (53.0) million. Sales volumes decreased in several countries of operation. In the Baltic countries, the development of consumers' purchasing power continued to be weak, partly because of increases in excise duties imposed on beverages in the early part of the year. In the Baltic countries, intense price competition increased price campaigning, especially in beer. However, market shares have largely remained unchanged. The decline in the

segment's volume comes mainly from Denmark and is partly explained by decisions to discontinue some unprofitable products.

As a result of the above-mentioned market effects and preparation costs for the summer season, the operating result for the Baltic Sea region decreased by 40.4% to EUR 1.7 (2.8) million. In addition, the result in the early part of the year was burdened by Denmark's investments in the Jolly soft drink brand, which support increased sales and respond to Danes' increased interest in domestic products instead of American brands. Although the segment's first-quarter operating result declined significantly in percentage terms, the euro-denominated difference is not significant in terms of achieving the full-year performance targets.

Belarus: continued growth in consumer demand and the overall market

In Belarus, consumer demand increased and supported the development of the overall market. The segment's sales volume increased by 2.4% to 70.4 (68.8) million litres. The sales volume increased especially in non-alcoholic product categories such as water, energy drinks and soft drinks, and growth was achieved in all sales channels.

Net sales increased by 19.4% and were EUR 32.4 (27.2) million. In the local currency, net sales grew by 18.7%. The adjusted operating result increased by 28.6% from the comparison period and was EUR 6.7 (5.2) million. In the local currency, the adjusted operating result improved by 27.8%. The Belarusian business is reported as part of Olvi Group, but it operates by means of its own cash flow financing. There are temporary restrictions on the distribution of profits to the parent company, described under "Business risks and their management".

Sales development

Olvi Group's sales volume decreased by 2.9% in January–March, totalling 199.2 (205.1) million litres.

Sales volume, million litres 1–3/2025 1–3/2024 Change, %

Financial performance

The Group's operating result in January–March was EUR 12.4 (11.2) million, or 9.4% (8.6%) of net sales. The adjusted operating result increased by 10.9% and was EUR 12.4 (11.2) million. The improvement in the adjusted operating result was affected by improved profitability in Finland and Belarus compared with the corresponding period in the previous year.

Adjusted operating result, EUR

Finland 4.2 3.5 18.7

Eliminations -0.2 -0.3

The Group's profit after taxes in January–March was EUR 9.8 (9.0) million.

Earnings per share calculated from the profit attributable to the owners of the parent company were EUR 0.46 (0.43) in the first quarter.

Financial position and the balance sheet

Olvi Group's balance sheet total was EUR 548.6 (496.7) million on 31 March 2025. The increase in the balance sheet mainly resulted from growth in non-current assets following investments. Equity per share was EUR 16.30 (13.20). The equity ratio was 61.8% (55.1%), and gearing was -3.2% (-3.9%). The Group's liquidity indicator, the current ratio, improved to 1.5 (1.2). The return on capital employed (ROCE) was 22.8% (24.3%). Interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 23.9 (6.9) million at the end of March. EUR 15 million in a new long-term green loan was drawn down to finance the brew house investment. Of the interest-bearing liabilities, current liabilities accounted for EUR 4.2 (2.2) million.

Olvi Group's balance sheet and financial position are strong. Cash and cash equivalents stood at EUR 34.7 (17.6) million at the end of the review period. Olvi Group has various short-term financial instruments such as credit facilities for liquidity management. Cash flow from operating activities was EUR -19.7 (-8.1) million. Cash flow development in the early part of the year is affected in particular by preparation for the summer season, including increasing stock. Cash flow from investing activities was EUR -10.7 (-4.9) million, and cash flow from financing activities was EUR 13.1 (-1.0) million. The cash flow from financing activities is improved by the drawdown of a longterm green loan for the brew house investment.

Investments

Olvi Group's extension and replacement investments were EUR 11.0 (5.5) million in January–March. Of the investments, EUR 8.0 million was related to Finland, and EUR 1.9 million to subsidiaries in the Baltic Sea region. The warehouse and logistics investment at the Iisalmi plant has proceeded on schedule. The commissioning started in April, and the additional capacity will be available for the summer season of 2025. The brew house investment is also proceeding as planned in terms of construction work. In the Baltic Sea region, investments focused on purchasing sales equipment such as refrigeration equipment and on improving production conditions. Replacement investments necessary for the continuity of production were made in Belarus through the subsidiary's cash flow financing, totalling EUR 1.1 million.

In its investments, Olvi Group focuses on environmental friendliness, cost-effective operations and capacity development to meet business requirements.

Seasonal nature of operations

The nature of the Group's business operations involves seasonal fluctuation. The net sales and operating result of the geographical reporting segments are not accumulated steadily. Instead, they fluctuate in accordance with the special characteristics of the seasons of the year and product seasons.

Personnel

Olvi Group had an average of 2,404 (2,352) employees in the first quarter, with an increase of 2.2% from the comparison period.

Olvi Group's average number of personnel by segment:

1–3/2025 1–3/2024 Change, %
Finland 425 416 2.2
Baltic Sea region 1,046 1,059 -1.2
Belarus 933 877 6.4
Total 2,404 2,352 2.2

Sustainability

Environmental sustainability

Through participation in the Science Based Targets (SBTN) programme, actions for the development of nature work have been identified, as well as information sources and tools that help assess nature pressures, the state of nature and risks. The programme ended in February, and work continues on planning and prioritising actions in terms of both our own operations and the supply chain, especially in developing water use, energy efficiency and material efficiency.

Social sustainability

In 2025, an action plan will be created to promote diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). The aim of the plan is to ensure the realisation of diversity, a sense of togetherness and equity, and to help set tangible targets to improve them.

Good governance

The sustainability statement for the 2024 financial year included in the Board of Directors' Report, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), was completed as planned and was published on 21 March 2025.

Olvi Group continues to monitor and prepare for other changes in the EU's sustainability-related legislation. An important matter is the progress of the Omnibus initiative related to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive and the Taxonomy Regulation. The aim of the initiative is to reduce corporate sustainability obligations as part of a broader EU competitiveness strategy. The exact content and schedule of the Omnibus initiative are yet to be decided, but the proposed changes would still keep Olvi Group within the scope of reporting. In terms of sustainability reporting, there are plans to clarify the ESRS standards, to reduce the number of mandatory data points and to differentiate them more clearly from voluntary data points, and to prioritise quantitative instead of qualitative data. There are also plans to make the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive easier to comply with by easing the obligations related to liability regulations and subcontracting chains, for example. It is planned to introduce a threshold for financial materiality in taxonomy reporting and to significantly reduce the number of reporting forms. In addition, there are plans to simplify the criteria of the "Do No Significant Harm" principle. Preparations also continue for the obligations of the Deforestation Regulation and the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). The application of the Deforestation Regulation and the PPWR will begin on 30 December 2025 and 12 August 2026 respectively. Current sustainability legislation also includes the upcoming Green Claims Directive, where trialogue negotiations are still underway.

Board of Directors and management

During the January–March 2025 review period, Nora Hortling served as Chair of the Board of Directors of Olvi plc, Lasse Heinonen as Vice Chair, and Tarmo Noop, Juho Nummela, Päivi Paltola and Christian Ståhlberg as other members. KPMG Oy Ab, the Authorised Public Accounting Firm, served as the company's auditor, with Heidi Hyry, APA, as the principal auditor. More information about the election results of the Annual General Meeting on 16 April 2025 is provided under "Events after the review period".

The employment relationships of the managing directors of the subsidiaries in Latvia and Denmark ended during the first quarter. Interim managing directors have been appointed in both countries.

Other events during the review period

Changes in the Group structure

No changes took place in Olvi's subsidiary holdings during the first quarter of 2025.

Business risks and their management

Geopolitical situation

The geopolitical situation has affected the Group's operating environment. Geopolitical tensions, the war in Ukraine and weather events caused by climate change affect the prices and availability of raw materials, packaging materials and energy in the market, for example. The change in tariffs between the United States and Europe has no direct significant impacts on Olvi's operations. However, the general adverse impacts of the customs war on economic development increase consumer uncertainty about the future. Olvi Group is responding to the increase in costs by improving operational productivity and assessing sales prices and selections to maintain profitability. Availability is ensured through a wide network of partners and long-term contracts.

Consumer behaviour

Historically high consumer prices and the deterioration of the general economic situation caused by geopolitical uncertainty may lower consumer confidence and affect consumer behaviour. This can increase the shift in consumption to more affordable product options, for example. In addition, overall consumption may decrease, and the premiumisation trend may come to a halt. However, there are differences between markets. Olvi Group is responding to the change by developing its product portfolio in line with consumer demand and by maintaining and strengthening market shares.

Operating environment in Belarus

The business operations and financial forecasting in Belarus continue to involve considerable uncertainty. For example, the uncertainty concerns the development of exchange rates, the unpredictability of the operating environment, local legislation and taxation, trade sanctions, and the functioning of financial transactions with Western countries. Olvi's subsidiary operates independently in Belarus and is responsible for its own procurements, among other aspects. In addition, the IT operating environment has been separated. The subsidiary finances its operations with cash flow from its own operations.

The payment of dividends abroad by Western-owned companies in Belarus has been restricted for 2024–2025 by setting regulations on maximum amounts. According to the current interpretation, the dividend that the Belarusian company can legally pay to the parent company is around EUR 1–3 million annually in 2024 and 2025. According to Olvi Group's management's assessment, the now known temporary restriction on the payment of dividends by the Belarusian subsidiary does not impair the parent company's ability to pay dividends. Despite legislative changes related to the prohibition to sell, the sales restrictions concerning shares in Olvi's subsidiary remain in force. Olvi

has no permission to sell shares in its Belarusian subsidiary. We monitor the legislative situation and actively evaluate the prerequisites and options for operating in the market.

Other current risks

Cybersecurity threats have increased because of the escalation of the global geopolitical situation, among other reasons. Olvi Group has prepared for increased information security threats in a variety of ways, and the new requirements under the NIS2 cybersecurity directive have been implemented according to schedule.

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation was adopted, and it entered into force on 11 February 2025. The regulation will apply from 12 August 2026. The regulation also contains several transitional provisions for the start dates of the various obligations. In the coming years, the European Commission will issue several implementing and delegated acts, as well as guidelines to further specify the requirements and their application. According to the current estimate, the new regulation will increase energy consumption and, consequently, climate emissions of product manufacturing and logistics, as well as water consumption, which will have a direct impact on Olvi Group's chances of achieving the set environmental targets. In addition, the regulation is likely to cause needs to invest in reusable bottles and transport packaging, and in equipment for product filling and handling. The process of implementing the regulation is being monitored closely, and efforts are being made to affect its implementation guidelines so that the sustainability aspects of Olvi Group's countries of operation are also taken into account.

Sustainability risks are identified through human rights and climate change impact assessments as part of the company's strategic, business, financial and compliance risks.

Preparedness

Olvi Group has prepared several scenarios related to the development of the business environment and is prepared to respond to changing situations. The company is prepared for production disruptions and has drawn up continuity plans related to the availability of labour, raw materials and energy, for example. The company has made investments to secure its energy supply and has also made efforts to ensure the availability of raw materials and packaging materials. Particular attention has been paid to the adequacy of risk management plans in accordance with risk assessments and the introduction of new risk assessment methods in terms of information security and sustainability risks, for example.

A more detailed description of the risks related to business operations is provided in Olvi Group's Board of Directors' report and the notes to the financial statements and on the company website at www.olvigroup.fi/en/ (Investors > Olvi as an investment > Risks and risk management).

12 VALUATION OF THE BELARUSIAN BUSINESS SEGMENT

For the 2022 financial statements (31 December 2022), the management assessed the book value of the Belarusian business segment in a changed operating environment. An impairment of EUR 35.0 million was recognised based on the assessment. Based on the management's assessment and testing, the balance sheet valuation of the Belarusian business segment on 31 March 2025 is materially at the right level, and there is no need to change the impairment recognised. The Belarusian business segment's balance sheet value was EUR 57.6 million on 31 March 2025. No changes have been made to the valuation model, and assumptions from the previous year have been used in the model.

13 CALCULATION PRINCIPLES FOR KEY FIGURES

In its summary of key ratios (page 1), the Group presents key ratios directly derived from the consolidated income statement (net sales, operating result, profit for the period and their proportions of net sales, as well as earnings per share). (Earnings per share = Profit for the period attributable to owners of the parent company / Average number of shares during the period, adjusted for share issues).

In addition to its IFRS-based consolidated financial statements, Olvi plc presents Alternative Performance Measures that describe the financial performance of its business operations and provide a comparable overview of the company's profitability, solvency and liquidity.

The Group has applied the European Securities and Markets Authority's (ESMA) guidelines (effective since 3 July 2016) on Alternative Performance Measures and has determined such measures as follows:

The Group presents sales volume data in millions of litres as an Alternative Performance Measure that supports net sales. Sales volume is an important and widely used indicator in the industry that describes the scope of operations. To improve comparability between reporting periods, the Group also presents the adjusted operating result and the

adjusted profit for the period as Alternative Performance Measures. The adjusted operating result is calculated by deducting significant items affecting comparability from net sales. The corresponding items have been deducted from the profit for the period when calculating the adjusted profit for the period.

Investments consist of increases in fixed assets, excluding increases under IFRS 16.

Earnings per share = Equity attributable to owners of the parent company / Number of shares at the end of the period, adjusted for share issues.

Equity ratio, % = 100 * (Equity attributable to owners of the parent company + non-controlling interest) / (Balance sheet total).

Gearing, % = 100 * (Interest-bearing liabilities – cash in hand and at bank) / (Equity attributable to owners of the parent company + non-controlling interest).

Return on capital employed, % (ROCE) = 100 * (12-month rolling operating result) / (Equity attributable to owners of the parent company + non-controlling interest + interest-bearing liabilities).
