STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT AND CEO

EBITA EXCEEDS 100 MILLION SEK AGAIN

The start of 2025 was strong for Rejlers, with 9.6 per cent growth in the first quarter, of which 8.7 per cent was organic. EBITA increased to 102.5 (98.3) MSEK, despite one less working day in the quarter and an uncertain market. This marks yet another record for a first quarter.

We are growing with good profitability

Rejlers continues to grow with good profitability. Sales for the first quarter increased to SEK 1,201.3 million (1,096.0) and EBITA for the quarter increased to SEK 102.5 million (98.3), another record for a first quarter. We achieved profit growth of 4 per cent compared to the corresponding period last year. This was despite one less working day, which was estimated to reduce EBITA by approximately SEK 15–18 million, and result in a negative margin effect of just over one percentage point. The EBITA margin amounted to 8.5 (9.0) per cent. Behind these strong figures are both a good utilisation rate and generally higher fees.

Our largest markets are performing well

Demand for Rejlers' services has remained strong in energy and infrastructure, and also fairly good in industry. The construction and property industry however continued to be challenging during this quarter. In our two largest markets, Sweden and Finland (which includes our rapidly growing operations in the United Arab Emirates), we saw good results for the quarter, with an EBITA margin of 9.7 per cent in Finland and 9.9 per cent in Sweden. In Norway, our smallest market, despite greater exposure to the construction and property industry, profitability increased compared to the previous quarter. This was due to measures implemented at the end of 2024, increased efficiency and one working day more than previous year. Under the leadership of the new Country Manager Ragnar Holtan, intensive efforts continue to restore profitability and growth in line with our financial goals.

We are raising the bar even higher

Since 2018, Rejlers has been executing a strategy focused on 2025. We have predominately met the targets we set back then including doubling our sales, achieving an adjusted operating profit over ten times higher and increasing our earnings per share by nearly 1,100 per cent. On the 27th of March we therefore launched an updated strategy and new long-term targets focused on 2030. We are now raising the bar even higher and aim to double Rejlers' sales once again, over the next five years, to more than SEK 8 billion. Other targets include continued increased

"Because we have a strong balance sheet, we are looking for our next large acquisition. The search has already begun."

profitability, high organic growth, greenhouse gas emission reductions and a warm and successful corporate culture.

Both organic growth and more acquisitions

We will achieve the high ambitions of our updated strategy by making Rejlers a catalyst for our clients' progress in three focus areas: energy transition, industry transformation and future proofing communities. Based on our continuous learning, we will continue to meet our clients' needs in a changing environment and thereby achieve the highest organic growth in the industry. And because we have a strong balance sheet, we are, at the same time, looking for our next large acquisition. The search has already begun, and we are focusing primarily on the energy and infrastructure sectors in Finland, Sweden or Norway to drive our acquisition growth.

Some personal reflections

In times of uncertainty in both geopolitics and global trade, it is perhaps more important than ever to maintain a solid foundation based on a strong corporate culture. At Rejlers, we have achieved a warm and successful culture that enables all of us to learn every day. This culture has guided us in the development of our updated strategy, which has also been shaped through internal exercises and discussions with hundreds of employees, helping ensure it is strongly embedded throughout the Group. This is something that feels very typical of Rejlers to me. Now let's go!

Stockholm 24 April, 2025 Viktor Svensson

OUR SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS STRATEGY

With an updated strategy focused on 2030 and new ambitious targets, Rejlers is adapting to a changing world to ensure our customers progress towards tomorrow's sustainable society.

Rejlers' sustainable business strategy 2030 sets a clear direction for how we create long-term value — for our clients, our people and the world around us. Rooted in our vision Home of the Learning Minds, the strategy brings together ambitious climate targets, strong financial targets, and a people-first culture. As we grow, we aim to lead the industry in organic growth while maintaining a culture where collaboration, curiosity and continuous learning thrive.

By 2030, Rejlers aims to:

  • Achieve an EBITA margin of at least 10%
  • Reach a turnover of SEK 8 billion or more
  • Become number one in the industry in terms of organic growth
  • Reach a 10/10 rating in our internal culture index
  • Reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% (2023–2030) and reach net-zero emissions across the entire value chain by 2050.

These targets are interlinked — because we believe profitability, sustainability and culture go hand in hand.

To achieve our targets, the strategy is centred on Rejlers' three focus areas; energy transition, industry transformation and future-proofing communities.

By combining deep technical expertise with a forward-leaning mindset, we act as a catalyst for our clients' transformation — and play an active role in shaping a more sustainable and resilient society.

During the period, the Group generated a cash flow from operating activities of SEK 49.8 million (91.6) including effects of IFRS 16 Leases. The change in working capital was positively impacted by a decrease in accounts receivable, although the positive change was greater in the previous year, and negatively impacted by an increase in accrued income and a decrease in short-term liabilities.

Equity amounted to SEK 787.8 million at the end of the period compared with SEK 792.5 million as of 31 December 2024.

Seasonal variations

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

REJLERS SWEDEN

Rejlers Sweden reported strong earnings for the first quarter of 2025. Sales increased by 8.8 per cent to SEK 742.1 million (682.0) and EBITA increased to SEK 73.7 million (73.6) despite a varied market. The margin was 9.9 per cent (10.8), negatively affected by having one working day less compared to previous year.

Rejlers Sweden had stable growth during the quarter, driven by good demand in the defence sector and infrastructure, and continued stability in energy and industry, especially the chemicals and process industries. Despite a varied market, our diversified client base and ability to switch between market segments contribute to a good order volume. Combined with higher fees and targeted sales efforts, these are the main drivers of Rejlers Sweden's strong earnings.

The Buildings division reports good earnings thanks to higher fees compared with the previous year, while utilisation was slightly lower. During the quarter, the division signed a framework agreement with Region Uppsala, which has already led to several new projects. In addition, the organisation has been adapted to promote greater collaboration both within the division and with the other divisions.

The Connected Energy division, formerly Energy & Telecom, is continuing to develop well, even if the clients' challenges linked to rising costs led to changing priorities and delayed project starts. The on-going transformation of the energy market continues to create large demand, with driving forces such as the conversion of the power system and investments in main, regional and local power grids. The division has had good development and growth, with increased business in nuclear power, among other areas.

The Industry division had a stable start to the year with good development in the defence, steel, chemicals and water industries. Rejlers' offering to the forestry industry shows signs of recovery with several projects won during the quarter, while the mining industry is still somewhat hesitant. The reorganisation carried out at the end of 2024, where the business areas Defence & Civil Security and Digital Solutions were integrated into the Industry division, has already yielded results. This change has created clear synergies, especially in the defence sector and in relation to clients in the process industry.

The Infrastructure division began the year with high efficiency and has won several major new projects. To strengthen profitability, which does not meet our financial targets, steps are being taken to adapt costs and to win business with new clients. During the quarter, the projects concerning the Railway Plan for the North Bothnia Line – Southern and Northern Piteå began, which is expected to contribute to higher and more stable utilisation throughout the year. The division also sees growing demand for Rejlers' unique services in advanced measurements for tunnel contractors and the mining industry, including clients such as LKAB.

REJLERS FINLAND

Rejlers Finland reported a strong first quarter of 2025 with high organic growth. Sales increased by 14.4 per cent to SEK 385.0 million (336.6) and EBITA increased to SEK 37.2 million (31.8). The margin was 9.7 per cent (9.4) negatively affected by one working day less compared to previous year.

In a cautious market environment, Rejlers Finland has managed to deliver good profitability by focusing on sales, higher fees and efficiency. The market is expected to remain challenging with tough competition. Long-term demand is driven by the green transition, fossil-free energy production, innovative energy storage solutions and electrification. Rejlers Finland has strengthened its position by successfully taking on major industrial projects that support the customers' sustainable transition.

The Buildings division reported a satisfactory first quarter. HVAC engineering and building energy management has a strong market while the market continued to be challenging within architecture and structural engineering. During the quarter, the division secured several new assignments, among them an extensive laboratory renovation as well as two expansion assignments for Turku University Hospital.

The Industry division reported a very strong first quarter in a challenging market characterised by tough competition. The division won deals within the energy segment, for example power plant modifications. The division also successfully delivered product development projects for the defence industry. Growth is expected within the defence industry sector, and the division remains engaged in ongoing defence-related projects.

The Infrastructure division made a stable quarter. The division secured a key framework agreement with Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency, which was re-tendered at the beginning of the year. In addition, the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency ordered an option within the Kupittaa-Turku railway project agreement.

The Sustainable Energy Solutions division delivered a satisfactory first quarter, relying on a steady volume of framework agreements. Within the Networks business area, electrical metering services performance was strong, telecom revenues were stable, and power grids faced slightly lower demand due to the winter season. During the first quarter, the Networks business area won an alliance contract with Finnish electricity network operator Kajave, as well as two significant power line projects. The business area Technical management consulting successfully delivered several projects.

Rejlers Abu Dhabi reported another strong quarter. During the period, Rejlers Abu Dhabi secured new engineering contracts and one new long-term framework agreement. The market in the United Arab Emirates is expected to remain strong in 2025.

REJLERS NORWAY

Rejlers Norge reported higher earnings for the first quarter of 2025. Sales increased by 13.3 per cent to SEK 91.8 million (81.0) and EBITA increased to SEK 4.8 million (3.3), thanks to implemented cost savings, higher efficiency and having one working day more compared to previous year.

The Norwegian market is still characterised by diversified demand. Despite low activity in the construction sector and an unchanged interest rate situation, the market potential for Rejlers Norway is deemed to be good. Focus is on increasing the share of large projects, strengthening internal cooperation and capitalising on our collective specialist expertise within the Group. Among the on-going key projects that reflect this focus are the electrification initiative Yggdrasil and the CCS project for Northern Lights. Energy, electrification, water purification, carbon capture and the development of new power sources are central driving forces in the market and projects in these areas involve every division in Rejlers Norway. Under the leadership of the new Country Manager Ragnar Holtan, intensive efforts continue to restore profitability and growth in line with our financial goals.

The Buildings division shows slight positive growth. Challenges remain in the market, including sharp competition in procurements. The division has a significant impact on the earnings of Rejlers Norway and is in a transition phase to meet long-term market changes and strengthen profitability.

The Industry & Energy division has good growth with good earnings, mainly driven by the Industry business area, with projects in electrification and carbon management. The projects are larger with longer delivery times, which contributes to a long-term approach and a stable utilisation. For example, a new EPCI project began during the quarter. The Energy business area had stable order bookings from existing clients while efficiency and fees need to increase to achieve higher profitability.

The Inspection division continues to deliver stable earnings, mainly through long-term projects. Electrical Safety is deemed to continue to have large market potential, and the division plans to grow through new recruitment.

The Infrastructure division maintains stable profitability, mainly driven by longterm agreements in the railway area, including the Østfold Line. In order to meet the expected increase in demand, new employees are being recruited. During the quarter, the division also signed an agreement regarding detailed engineering for E6 Roterud–Storhove.

OTHER INFORMATION

Accounting policies

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, as published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and interpretations from the Interim Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) as adopted by the EU. The Parent Company's reports are prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities. The Group applies the same accounting policies as described in Note 2 in the Annual Report for 2024 and no new standards, or other IFRS or IFRIC interpretations, which have not yet entered into effect or entered into effect during the financial year, are expected to have any material impact on the Group.

Financial instruments

Conditional supplemental purchase amounts attributable to business combinations are measured at fair value and amounted to SEK 47.2 million as of 31 March 2025, compared with SEK 48.2 million as of 31 December 2024, reported in the balance sheet. The decrease mainly pertains to paid supplemental purchase considerations of SEK 0.5 million (8.3). The supplemental purchase amount is mainly determined based on future sales growth and earnings for the next two to three years. A recognised liability is estimated based on the assessed likelihood of an outcome. The liability is calculated at fair value according to level 3 and adjustments to supplemental purchase amounts are recognised in the income statement under net financial items. Increases in liabilities as a result of the revaluation of supplemental purchase amounts through changed assumptions and discounting effects are recognised as expenses in net financial items and amounted to SEK 1.4 million (0) accumulated. Reductions in liabilities resulting from revaluation of supplemental purchase amounts due to changes in assumptions are recognized as income within net financial items and amount to SEK 0.0 million (0) accumulated. In terms of other financial assets and liabilities, no material changes have occurred regarding the measurement at fair value since the 2024 annual report. Fair value essentially matches the carrying amounts.

Risks and uncertainty factors

Through its operations, the Group is subject to various financial risks, such as market risk (comprehensive foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management involves striving for minimal unfavourable effects on financial position and performance. The Group's business risks and risk management as well as financial risks are described in detail in the annual report for 2024.

Business combinations

In acquisitions, these usually complement Rejlers' offering and customers and are therefore expected to increase sales in both the acquired companies and Rejlers. As the companies are often run with relatively small overhead and administration, synergies on the cost side are small. In the long term, certain cost synergies may arise thanks to, among other things, moving to shared premises. The goodwill arising from the acquisitions consists mainly of human capital, i.e. the knowledge and experience the consultants in the acquired company add, and is not expected to be deductible. Goodwill also consists of the synergies the acquisitions entail, such as broader offers, new customers, new regions and new joint assignments. Hence, the majority of the acquired company's intangible assets are attributable to goodwill.

Related party transactions

Transactions with related parties are described in Note 30 in the Annual Report for 2024. The scope and focus of these transactions did not substantially change during the period.

Pledged assets and contingent liabilities

Pledged assets and contingent liabilities are essentially unchanged compared with the previous year.

Future-oriented information

All future-oriented statements in this report are based on the company's best assessment at the time of publication. As with all forecasts, such assumptions contain risks and uncertainties that may mean that the actual outcome is different than the expected development.

The undersigned provides assurance that this interim report provides an accurate overview of the operations, position and earnings of the Group and the Parent Company, and that it also describes the principal risks and sources of uncertainty faced by the Parent Company and the companies within the Group.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

Beginning in the second quarter of 2016, Rejlers has applied the new European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) guidelines for Alternative Performance Measures. In brief, an alternative performance measure is a financial measure over historical or future earnings trends, financial position or cash flow that are not defined or specified in IFRS. To support the analysis by company management and other stakeholders of the Group's development, Rejlers presents certain key performance indicators that are not defined in IFRS. Company management believes that this

information facilitates an analysis of the Group's development. These additional measurements are supplementary information to IFRS and do not replace key performance indicators defined in IFRS. Rejlers' definitions of measurements not defined in IFRS may differ from other companies' definitions. Definitions and calculations of key performance indicators that cannot be reconciled against new items in the income statement and balance sheet are found on the company's website, www.rejlers.com.
