CEO's comments

Healthy sales growth: both organic and from acquisitions

Group

Demand was favorable overall, but varied across the Group's diversified customer base. The Nordics stood out as the strongest region, followed by Asia and Europe. In the US, sales decreased, mainly as a result of a specific project. Most of the Group's sales in the US are based on local production.

Subsidiaries

Demand in Lesjöfors varied between geographic regions. The Chassis Springs business area faced strong comparative figures and delivered a slightly weaker performance during the quarter, although with a stronger operating margin. In the Industry business area, Europe and Asia contributed profitable growth. In the US, demand in general industry was favorable, while volumes in the medical technology segment declined as a result of a specific project.

Beijer Tech experienced favorable demand, with 5 percent organic growth. All of the business areas reported revenue and earnings growth. Two acquisitions were conducted during the quarter, both of which contributed positively to revenue and earnings in the final month of the quarter. Demand in the Swedish and Norwegian markets remained strong in several key customer segments, such as energy and infrastructure. Several of Beijer Techs companies have significant exports, which continued to show good growth.

Acquisitions

In March, Beijer Tech acquired Swemas AB, a supplier of consumables and spare parts for the stone and gravel industry, as well as the assets of UPH Oy in Finland, a supplier of compressors and related services.

Lesjöfors acquired a majority holding in International Industrial Springs in India, with closing scheduled for April.

Beijer Alma is continuing to seek attractive companies for acquisitions and long-term growth, but is prioritizing organic growth and improved profitability.

First quarter

Order bookings increased to MSEK 1,366 (1,295) during the first quarter. Organic growth amounted to 3 percent and growth from acquisitions and divestments to 2 percent, while currency effects were neutral. Net revenue increased to MSEK 1,324 (1,268).

Adjusted operating profit (EBITA) increased to MSEK 223 (214), corresponding to a margin of 16.8 percent (16.9). The improvement in adjusted operating profit (EBITA) was attributable to both Chassis Springs and Industrial Springs.

Net revenue in the Chassis Springs business area amounted to MSEK 256 (270), down slightly year on year due to the mild winter and strong comparative figures.

Demand in the Industrial Springs business area was generally good, particularly in the Nordic region and Asia, while sales in the US declined as a result of a specific project. Net revenue increased to MSEK 1,068 (998).

Alcomex, which operates in the door spring market and in industrial springs in Central Europe, delivered a weak performance during the quarter. Measures have been taken to strengthen the company's profitability and started to yield results towards the end of the quarter. The shares of the minority owners were also acquired in January 2025, thereby facilitating continued efficiency measures.

During the quarter, the business area's factory in Åmminnefors was completely destroyed in a fire. The loss of production was largely offset by other Lesjöfors factories. The incident had an impact of MSEK -1 on earnings in the quarter.

In February, Lesjöfors signed an agreement to acquire 51 percent of the shares in International Industrial Springs, an Indian spring manufacturer. This acquisition marks Lesjöfors's entry into the Indian spring market and provides new product capabilities focused on disc springs, washers and general springs, including hot coiling capabilities. The acquisition was completed on April 1, 2025, and therefore had no impact on the first quarter.

Parent Company

Annual General Meeting

Beijer Alma's Annual General Meeting will be held at 6:00 p.m. on May 6, 2025 in the Uppsala Konsert & Kongress, Vaksala torg 1, Uppsala. The documentation for the meeting and the Annual Report for 2024 are available on Beijer Alma's website.

Events after the end of the period

No significant events have occurred since the end of the period.

Risks and uncertainties

The Group's material risks and uncertainties include business and financial risks. Business risks may include major customer exposures to individual industries or companies. Financial risks pertain, for example, to interest-rate risk and currency risk. The risk of high or very high inflation can be both a business risk as it affects demand, and a financial risk as interest expenses can increase sharply. Currency risk arises since approximately 88 percent of sales for Lesjöfors are conducted outside Sweden, while approximately 70 percent of production takes place outside Sweden. Beijer Tech does not have a corresponding foreign currency risk. Beijer Alma may also be impacted by the global geopolitical situation, which may have consequences for global supply chains, etc.

Since the Parent Company is responsible for the Group's financing, it is exposed to refinancing risk. The Parent Company's other operations are not exposed to risks other than indirectly through its subsidiaries.

Management of the Group's financial risks is described in Note 26 of the 2024 Annual Report. A number of other risks are described in the Board of Directors' Report in the Annual Report.

Transactions with related parties

The character and scope of transactions with related parties are essentially unchanged since December 31, 2024. The Parent Company invoiced its subsidiaries a management fee during the year. Related parties generally include the Board of Directors and Group management as well as their families and other companies that they control, including companies controlled by the principal owner. Other than directors' fees, there were no material transactions with related parties during the year.

UPH is a distributor and maintenance company offering compressed air equipment and related services to customers in the industrial sector in Finland. The company has annual revenue of approximately MEUR 3.3 and six employees.

On March 6, 2025, Beijer Tech acquired 100 percent of the shares in Swemas AB, a Swedish company that offers consumables and spare parts for stone crushers as well as service of crushers for the stone and gravel industry.

Contingent consideration liabilities for the first quarter pertained to acquisitions during the quarter and amounted to MSEK 23.

International Industrial Springs

On February 11, 2025, Lesjöfors signed an agreement to acquire 51 percent of the shares in International Industrial Springs (IIS), an Indian spring manufacturer. This acquisition marks Lesjöfors's entry into the Indian spring market and provides new product capabilities focused on disc springs, washers and general springs, including hot coiling capabilities. IIS has approximately MEUR 8.5 in annual revenue and about 230 employees. The acquisition was completed on April 1, 2025.

Preliminary acquisition calculations

The calculations of intangible assets and goodwill in the following acquisition analyses are preliminary pending the final valuation of these assets. The acquisition analyses will be finalized no later than one year after the acquisitions have been completed. The effect of the acquisitions carried out in 2025 on Beijer Alma's balance sheet is presented in the table above.

The acquisitions of UPH and Swemas took place in the first quarter. The companies contributed MSEK 21 in net revenue and MSEK 3 in operating profit (EBIT) for the quarter. If both acquisitions had been carried out on January

1, 2025, the Group's net revenue would have increased MSEK 54 and operating profit (EBIT) would have increased MSEK 7.

Expensed transaction costs are recognized in administrative expenses and amounted to approximately MSEK 5 for the first quarter.

Note 3 Fair value and amortized cost of financial instruments

The majority of the Group's financial assets and liabilities (accounts receivable, other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, liabilities to credit institutions, accounts payable and other liabilities) are measured at amortized cost in the report, which is also a good estimate of fair value. Assets that are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income include currency forwards with a carrying amount of MSEK 10 (-2), using a valuation method based on observable market data (Level 2). Liabilities that are measured at fair value through profit or loss include contingent considerations in subsidiaries with a carrying amount of MSEK 37 (23). The change compared with the previous quarter mainly consists of new contingent considerations and paid contingent considerations. Contingent considerations were valued using a method partly based on non-observable market data (Level 3).

Purchase consideration liabilities that are measured through the balance sheet are valued based on amortized cost for the period of future payments discounted with original effective interest. The carrying amount of purchase consideration liabilities in subsidiaries was MSEK 179 (213). The change compared with previous quarters was primarily attributable to buyouts of minority owners' shares.

Note 4 Adjusted operating profit

The item affecting comparability in the first quarter of 2025 pertains to severance pay to former CEO, who stepped down on March 31, 2025. Adjusted operating profit (EBIT) has been adjusted for the following items affecting comparability:

MSEK 2025 2024 2024
Cash flow from: Q1 Q1 Full-year
Severance pay to former CEO -9
Provision close down of Russian operations 2 2

Restructuring cost Germany -15
Total -9 2 168

Note 5 Financial reporting in hyperinflationary countries

Türkiye is classified as a hyperinflationary country according to IFRS, and IAS 29 is therefore applied in the financial statements of the Turkish subsidiary Telform Clamp and Spring Co. Accumulated earnings in net financial items from IAS 29 for 2025 amounted to MSEK 4 (3). The decline in the first quarter was due to a decrease in the local consumer price index compared with earlier periods.
