This is Vitec

Vitec is the market leader for vertical software and has its origin and headquarters in Umeå, Sweden. We develop and deliver standardized software that supports central functions in society. Our solutions are used in a variety of industries, such as energy, insurance, retail, hotels, religious organizations and health care. Our products enable us to help improve efficiency for our customers and create societal benefit. The expertise of our employees fuels continuous development and innovation, based on our shared corporate culture and business model.

Vitec consists of 46 business units with operations in 12 countries and customers in over 50 countries worldwide. The business units are headquartered in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden. Vitec is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm OMX Large Cap.

LONG-TERM GROWTH

Vitec is an industry player with a longterm outlook. Our growth is fueled by both organic development and acquisitions. With a strong cash flow, we are able to reinvest in our products and carry out strategic acquisitions. Continually developing and refining our products is crucial to ensuring that our offering remains relevant in the future.

RECURRING REVENUES

Our business model is based on a high proportion of recurring revenues, providing us with stable and predictable cash flows. This creates the conditions for long-term action and makes the Group less sensitive to temporary downturns in individual business units.

SUCCESSFUL CORPORATE CULTURE

Within the framework of our decentralized organization, the corporate culture plays a central role in the Group's governance and is crucial to our long-term success. Our values, brand promise and Code of Conduct are the three cornerstones of our corporate culture. Through various forums for the exchange of knowledge, we create opportunities for employees and managers to further strengthen and develop our corporate culture.

SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS MODEL

Sustainability is an integral part of both our business model and corporate culture. To structure our work, we have identified four focus areas: Responsible Growth, Enabling Products, Empowered People and Reduced Footprint. These areas are defined based on where and how our business has the greatest impact on the world around us, and where we believe we can make the greatest difference.

Comments from the CEO

Our offering continues to contribute to security and stability

The beginning of 2025 has been marked by uncertainty in the world, and the development we are currently witnessing is further contributing to this. At the start of the new year, we had hopes and indications that new sales and investment willingness would return. We can conclude that there is still a mixed picture where some customer segments are more in a waiting position while other segments are unaffected and performing well. Against this background, our offering of business-critical software and a business model with a high proportion of recurring revenue contributes to security and stability in both earnings and long-term

development. We develop and deliver software primarily for local and regional needs with resources that are equally local – something that customers have appreciated over the years and perhaps even more now. In both the short and medium term, Vitec is very limitedly affected by external factors, but we are of course closely monitoring the development.

Total revenue for the first quarter amounted to 880 million SEK, an increase of 23%. Our recurring revenue accounted for 786 million SEK, of which subscription-based revenue accounted for 613 million SEK and transaction-based revenue for 173 million SEK. Other revenue decreased slightly, primarily service revenue, which decreased by 8 million SEK. The change in the revenue mix, where revenue with lower gross margins increased more and service revenue decreased, negatively affected the margins. Parts of this shift are a result of us offering our customers additional services, which make us an even more complete supplier and further strengthen our customer relationship. The result at the EBITA level was unchanged at 220 million SEK, while the

margin decreased to 25% compared to 31% last year. Operating profit and the period's result were further affected by an increased non-cash net of activations and planned depreciation, which amounted to -25 million SEK compared to -6 million SEK in the same period last year. Adjusted for this, operating profit instead increased by 19 million SEK, which in a good way represents how we operationally follow our business units.

Cash flow from operating activities increased to 757 million SEK compared to 694 million SEK last year. The first quarter is when most of our prepaid subscription revenue is received. This, together with the renegotiation of our credit agreements during the quarter and the successful issuance of our first bond, means that our readiness for acquisitions is good both now and in the future. The issuance was met with very strong demand from investors.

In addition to the increased credit space for future acquisitions, it is also a step in diversifying the company's financing sources.

In January, the Dutch company Intergrip was acquired, whose platform supports the continuous learning line and monitors students' transition to further education. A good example of both business-critical and socially critical benefits.

Now I look forward to the annual general meeting held in Umeå on April 29, which also seriously starts our 40th anniversary. I warmly welcome all shareholders!

Olle Backman, CEO and President, Vitec Software Group

"Cash flow from operating activities increased to SEK 757 million compared to SEK 694 million last year."

Recurring revenues consist of subscription-based revenue of SEK 612.9 million (503.3) and transaction-based revenue of SEK 173.3 million (113.0). The increase in transaction-based revenue is attributable to acquisitions as well as increased volumes.

Comments on sales

Net sales rose a total of 23% for the period and recurring revenues rose by 28%. Recurring revenues accounted for 89% of net sales, compared with 86% for the corresponding period in 2024.

Companies acquired during the year contributed SEK 4.4 million in net sales during the period.

Outcome

EBITA was SEK 219.7 million (220.1), with an EBITA margin of 25% (31). Operating profit was SEK 153.5 million (153.0), with an operating margin of 17% (21). Profit after tax amounted to SEK 83.1 million (85.5). Earnings per share before dilution totaled SEK 2.09 (2.27).

Comments on earnings

2025

EBITA is in line with the same period in 2024. The EBITA margin decreased from 31% in the corresponding quarter of 2024 to 25% in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease is mainly attributable to higher amortization of intangible assets as well as slightly lower margins on transaction-based recurring revenues.

2024

Change

Operating profit is also in line with same period in 2024. The net of capitalized development costs, amortization and impairment on intangible fixed assets, and acquisition-related amortization had a negative effect on operating profit of SEK 24.6 million, compared with a negative effect of SEK 6.3 million the corresponding period last year. Acquisition-related costs are included in operating profit and amount to SEK -2.8 million (-1.4).

Net financial items total SEK -39.6 million (-37.6). The items consist of net interest income of SEK -25.0 million (-30.3) as well as non-cash remeasurement to fair value of supplementary purchase considerations and commitment to acquire shares of SEK -14.6 million (-7.3).

Sales broken down by business unit and customer

Vitec is an agile and decentralized organization, in which every business unit is responsible for its own market and customers. This allows for business decisions to be made close to the customer, often in collaboration with them, and with the involvement of employees with in-depth industry expertise and long-term customer relationships.

Because we operate in a number of niche markets and countries, we have good distribution of revenue in terms of both geography and area of operation. Although we operate in several niche markets, we still engage in essentially the same business: we develop and deliver standardized software. Some are complete enterprise systems, while others provide support for specific aspects of our customers' operations.

As we continue to acquire profitable vertical software companies, we expect the distribution of risk to continue in a positive direction.

VITEC WORLDWIDE

Sales by market

Vitec has operations in 12 countries and customers in over 50 countries worldwide. We consider Belgium, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden to be home markets, as our business units have headquarters there.

BREAKDOWN OF SALES

Our sales are evenly spread across our 46 business units. No individual business unit accounts for more than 12% of consolidated sales.

"Our distribution of customers, markets and niche solutions provides us with stability." Peter Lidström, CFO

CUSTOMERS

We have about 26,000 customers. The Group's ten largest software customers account for approximately 7% of sales. The single largest software customer accounts for approximately 1.4% of sales.

Sustainability in the business model

At Vitec, sustainability is a fundamental factor for our success. Our efforts are based on ecological, social and economic perspectives. Vitec's products generate positive societal impacts and mitigate risks, while promoting responsible business practices that enable our employees' expertise and creativity to flourish. Vitec embraces an entrepreneurial approach to sustainability. The driving force is to be an enabler for current needs while safeguarding opportunities for future generations.

In addition to internal guidelines, efforts are guided by the Paris Agreement, the UN's declarations on human rights, the European Green Deal, the UN's Agenda 2030 and the Global Goals. Employees work daily to contribute to achieving these goals.

Sustainability is integral to the business model and a part of the entire value

chain, from the development and use of our products to the way we run and do business. Alongside the efforts of management and the Board, sustainability initiatives are implemented within the business units.

The perspective of sustainability is to be clearly integrated among all employees, present in all matters and in decision-making in the Group. In its vision, Vitec has expressed this as:

"Shaping a wiser and more sustainable future."

Below is a summary of sustainability targets. They are described in greater detail in the 2024 Annual Report.

CLIMATE TARGETS

Vitec shall strive to minimize its climate impact internally.

Reduced emissions by 2030

By 2030, Vitec Software Group will no longer contribute to carbon dioxide emissions – through significant reductions in emissions and by financing climate projects outside our value chain. Vitec will achieve this goal by reducing emissions/sales by 75% by 2030. (Baseline year 2019 and adjusted for inflation.)

Vitec has been financing climate projects since 2023 that aim to reduce emissions by at least the equivalent of our remaining emissions. The target is in line with the objectives of the Paris Agreement. Vitec has set an interim target to cut emissions in relation to sales by 50 percent by 2025.

Structure for sustainability initiatives

To structure this effort and clarify its direction, Vitec has defined four focus areas. They are specified based on where and how the business has the greatest impact on its external environment, as well as areas where Vitec believes it can make the greatest difference. This also applies to the choice of the Global goals linked to each focus area.

RESPONSIBLE GROWTH

Vitec works continuously to improve and strengthen its business and its working methods, based on trust, transparency, integrity and fact-finding.

The common brand Vitec, the business model and the focus on long-term growth provide stability and facilitate sustainable investments in the products. Equally important for maintaining responsible growth is the decentralized model for how Vitec works, controls, follows up and manages risks in our business. The brand promise, To rely on – today and tomorrow, the values and the Code of conduct provide valuable guidance on how to act ethically and sustainably.

Vitec chooses suppliers who act professionally and appropriately. The longterm approach to acquisitions also contributes to social responsibility, since Vitec acquires well-managed companies whose operations and products

are future-proofed when the company becomes part of the Vitec Group. In this context, Vitec primarily supports SDGs 8, 16 and 17.

ENABLING PRODUCTS

Vitec develops and provides software to enable a more efficient, sustainable, resilient and inclusive society, where safe, secure and reliable operation with high demands for data ethics is crucial.

Vitec helps its customers realize their ambitions through close collaboration, innovations and continuous investments. In this context, Vitec primarily supports SDG 9.

EMPOWERED PEOPLE

To achieve success, Vitec depends on motivated and engaged employees with the knowledge and skills necessary to constantly develop the business – employees who can be proud of how their work helps to benefit society.

Vitec believes in short decision paths, freedom under responsibility and continuous skills development to enable each individual to reach their full potential, as well as in diversity, teamwork and a healthy work environment for increased job satisfaction and positive results. In this context, Vitec primarily supports SDGs 3, 5 and 10.

REDUCED FOOTPRINT

Vitec is determined to minimize its adverse impact on the climate and the environment, and this attitude permeates all decisions.

Vitec achieves this by continuously improving resource efficiency, reducing waste and making climate- and eco-friendly purchases, as well as replacing fossil fuels with fuels from renewable energy sources and optimizing its travel. In this context, Vitec primarily supports SDGs 7, 12 and 13.

Our business units

We conduct our operations through our 46 independent business units. Vitec develops and delivers software aimed at various functions in society. They can be found at the heart of a variety of businesses and activities, including energy, insurance, retail, hotels, religious organizations and health care. Our products enable us to help our customers achieve greater efficiency and to generate societal benefit.

Parent Company

Operating revenues totaled SEK 51.9 million (45.0) and essentially comprised invoicing to subsidiaries for services rendered. Profit after tax was SEK 116.1 million (-92.7). Earnings in the Parent Company contain unrealized foreign-exchange differences totaling SEK 172.1 million (-97.1).

The Parent Company is generally exposed to the same risks and uncertainties as the Group; refer to the adjacent section, Risks and uncertainties.

Risks and uncertainties

Material risks and uncertainties are described in the administration report of the 2024 Annual Report under "Risks and uncertainties" on pages 68–73, in Note 1, under the section "Critical estimates and judgements" on pages 124–125, and in Note 15 "Financial risks and capital risk management" on pages 148–150. Vitec conducts ongoing external monitoring and analyzes any potential risks and uncertainties. No material changes have occurred in the risk assessment since the annual report was prepared.

Related-party transactions

No significant transactions with related parties occurred in the Group or Parent Company during the period.

Accounting and measurement policies

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The Parent Company's accounts were prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities No new or amended standards entered into force as of 2025 that are expected to affect the Group's accounts.

Vitec Software Group continues to apply the same accounting principles and valuation methods described in the latest annual report.

Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34.16A appear in the financial statements and related notes, as well as in other parts of the interim report.

OPERATING SEGMENTS

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker of the Company. In the Vitec Group, the CEO and President has been identified as chief executive decision-maker who evaluates the Group's financial position and performance and makes decisions on resource allocation. The operating segments form the operational structure for internal governance, follow-ups, and reporting. The CEO analyzes and monitors the sales and earnings of the operation based on the total consolidated operations. The assessment is thus that the Group's operations consist of one segment.

INCENTIVE PROGRAM

There are long-term employee share savings plans available to all staff. If the conditions are met, participants receive matching shares. The value of the matching shares is recognized as share-based remuneration. Employee payments occur over one year and the total program duration is three years. The expense is distributed over the entire duration of the program.

There is an ongoing convertible program aimed at all personnel in the form of convertible debentures. The shares were issued on market terms. Consequently, there are no benefits that can be recognized as share-based remuneration.

Warrant incentive programs are also underway, in the form of warrants, aimed at around 45 people. The shares were issued on market terms. The fair value of options granted is calculated using a modified version of the Black-Scholes valuation model. The value of the option premiums is recognized as share-based remuneration.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Classification and measurement Financial instruments are recognized initially at cost corresponding to the instrument's fair value plus transaction costs. A financial instrument is classified at initial recognition based on, among other factors, the purpose for which the instrument was acquired. Vitec has financial instruments under the categories loans and accounts receivable, financial assets at fair value, financial liabilities at fair value and financial liabilities at amortized cost.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value via profit or loss

In accordance with IFRS 13, the fair value of each financial asset and financial liability must be disclosed, regardless of whether they are recognized in the balance sheet. Vitec deems the fair value of the financial assets/liabilities to be close to the recognized carrying amount.

All of the company's financial instruments that are subject to measurement at fair value are classified as level 3

and pertain to securities held as fixed assets, as well as contingent considerations in conjunction with acquisitions and commitment to acquire shares.

Non-current securities are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Purchases and sales of non-current unlisted securities are recognized when a binding agreement to buy or sell is reached.

Significant amounts of supplementary contingent considerations and the commitment to acquire shares are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Changes in value are recognized as financial items in profit or loss.
