CEO'S comments

Despite a challenging business environment, we can reflect on a strong quarter in terms of earnings, with increased demand. We remain confident in our strong position, and with the launch of our third generation tiltrotator, we have strengthened our position at the forefront of technology in the industry.

Stable earnings and significant increase in order intake We began the year with a strong order intake mainly due to increased demand in the Nordic region ahead of the upcoming digging season. Order intake increased organically by 28 per cent and amounted to SEK 524 million (410). Net sales in the quarter amounted to SEK 446 million (394), an organic year-on-year increase of 14 per cent. The gross margin for the quarter amounted to 46 per cent (42) and was mainly attributable to higher volumes in production combined with a favourable product and market mix. Operating profit increased 40 per cent to SEK 84 million (60), corresponding to an EBIT of 19 per cent (15). Earnings were impacted by a negative currency effect due to the stronger SEK.

Strong demand ahead of the Nordic digging season

The Nordic region reports the strongest start to the year. The order intake amounted to SEK 231 million (156), corresponding to organic growth of 49 per cent. Net sales amounted to SEK 190 million (159), an organic increase of 21 per cent. We are seeing increasing positivity in the market among end customers while the inventory levels of dealers are relatively low.

The tiltrotator continues to gain ground in Europe and the order intake increased 20 per cent organically. Net sales increased 17 per cent to SEK 182 million (156). We are seeing increased awareness of our products and their advantages, which was particularly evident at the world's largest and most visited trade exhibition, Bauma in Munich, where tiltrotators were represented by all major excavator manufacturers. Germany is also one of the countries in Europe where we are seeing a significant increase in demand. The trend demonstrates that more and more customers are moving from either tilt or rotation couplers, which have long been common in Germany, to full tiltrotator solutions.

Despite the turbulent situation in the US, order intake increased 19 per cent organically in the Americas, while net sales declined 14 per cent with low inventory levels holding back deliveries. We are now working to adjust inventory levels to meet demand in the region. It is currently difficult to assess how the future trend in the Americas will be impacted by the announced tariffs.

Order intake in Asia-Oceania declined 10 per cent from low levels. We are continuing to develop our Japanese sales company, which has had a strong start, and we are seeing an increase in order intake in Japan. In Australia, we are seeing a cautious market due to the upcoming federal election that will be held in May.

The future market outlook contains a high degree of unpredictability related in part to tariffs and their impact on the global economy. Despite this, we anticipate continued positive net sales growth in the Nordic region ahead of the upcoming digging season and continued stable growth in Europe related to increased market penetration. We did, however, experience minor disruptions in the supply chain in the quarter that could result in a slight delay of deliveries in the forthcoming quarter.

engcon at the forefront

In the first quarter, the Patent and Market Court of Appeal upheld the lower court's previous ruling in the case between Rototilt and engcon regarding alleged patent infringement. Rototilt's claim of patent infringement was rejected. As in the lower court, the court ruled that no patent infringement had occurred. The ruling is final and cannot be appealed, thus the matter is settled in Sweden.

The first model of our third generation tiltrotator, EC319, is now in production, and we plan start of delivery of the next model, EC309, which was launched at Bauma, in September. The third generation has been developed to meet the demands of future electrified and autonomous excavators, offering substantial energy savings. Its selflearning configuration is unique and ensures a driving experience tailored to the operator. User feedback has been positive, with those who have experienced the third generation in daily operations particularly emphasizing its smooth and responsive handling. With the third generation, we further consolidate our technological advantage over our competitors.

Despite a challenging business environment, we can reflect on a strong quarter in terms of earnings, with increased demand. We remain confident in our strong position, and with the launch of our third generation tiltrotator, we have strengthened our position at the forefront of technology in the industry. Bauma was a success and we are maintaining our focus on end customers. We are looking forward to the forthcoming European digging tour – engcon Dig Days 2025 – in which we will have the opportunity to follow up with our contacts from Bauma and show more end customers how our products enhance efficiency and profitability. This is how we change the world of digging.

Other information

Risks and uncertainties

engcon is, by way of its operations, exposed to various risks that may give rise to variations in earnings and cash flow. Significant risks and uncertainties include industry and market risks, operational risks and financial risks. Risks and uncertainties are consistent with the description contained in the 2024 Annual Report, pages 41-45, with the addition of what is stated below. The Annual Report is available at www.engcongroup.com.

Although the prevailing global situation had some impact on engcon's operations during the period, engcon will be further affected going forward. The uncertainty related to the prevailing external and economic situation with inflation, higher interest rates, currency effects and geopolitical turbulence with increased tariffs and trade restrictions could entail a negative impact for engcon in the form of a decline in demand, a cautious approach to placing orders and supply chain disruptions.

The Board and Group management continue to closely monitor developments and the potential effects these could lead to.

Lawsuit

In May 2023, the Swedish Patent and Market Court announced its verdict regarding Rototilt's lawsuit against engcon alleging infringements by engcon of Rototilt patented technology. The damages claimed amounted to approximately SEK 200 million. The alleged infringement related to sensor technology in the Qsafe locking system. The court determined that no infringement had taken place and therefore dismissed Rototilt's action. At the same hearing, engcon claimed that Rototilt's patent should be declared invalid. However, the court determined that the patent was valid. Following appeals, both parties were granted leave to appeal by the Swedish Patent and Market Court of Appeal. The main hearing in the case was conducted on 18-20 February 2025. On 27 March 2025, the judgement in the case was announced with the Patent and Market Court of Appeal, similar to the Patent and Market Court, determining that there was no patent infringement by engcon. Rototilt Group's lawsuit was therefore dismissed at the same time as the court determined that the patent was valid. Pursuant to the judgement, it may not be appealed.

Employees

The average number of full-time employees at the end of the quarter amounted to 409 (378), of whom 24 per cent (24) were women and 76 per cent (76) men.

Seasonal variations

Seasonal variations have little impact on engcon's operations and diminish successively on account of sales in several markets, which contributes to a more even earnings trend over the course of the year. The fourth quarter typically has lower net sales as a result of less digging in several of engcon's markets, and is normally characterised by a somewhat higher order intake as an effect of forthcoming price increases.

Share capital and shareholders

The company's registered share capital at 31 March 2025 amounted to SEK 21,250,320, distributed among 35,344,778 Class A shares and 116,443,222 Class B shares. The shares have a quotient value of SEK 0.14 per share. Each Class A share represents ten votes and each Class B share one vote. On 31 March 2025, there were 7,415 shareholders in the company.

The company's largest shareholder on 31 March 2025 was the company's founder, Stig Engström, through the company Ommapo förvaltning AB, which controlled 35.4 per cent of the capital and 67.1 per cent of the votes. The second largest shareholder was Monica Engström, through the company Monen Group AB, which controlled 32.0 per cent of the capital and 22.4 per cent of the votes. Following these, Nordstjernan, Capital Group, the First Swedish National Pension Fund, the Second Swedish National Pension Fund, Premier Miton Investors, C WorldWide Asset Management, Svolder and Spiltan Fonder were engcon's largest shareholders.

Notes to the accounts

NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

engcon's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as approved by the EU. This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable rules in the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The Parent Company's interim report has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and Recommendation RFR 2 Financial Reporting for Legal Entities of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board. Disclosures according to IAS 34 are provided in the notes and elsewhere in

the interim report. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of this interim report apply to all periods and correspond with the accounting policies presented in engcon's 2024 Annual Report, Note 2 Accounting policies. No new and revised standards and interpretations that came into force on 1 January 2025 have had any material impact on engcon's financial statements. From 1 January 2025, the effects of derivatives are recognised in other operating income and expenses.

NOTE 2. KEY ASSESSMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make assessments and estimates in addition to the assessments that impact the application of the accounting policies and the recognised amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Actual outcomes may differ from those estimates. The assessments and sources of uncertainty in the estimates correspond with those presented in the most recent annual report. For more details on key assessments and estimates, refer to Note 3 of the 2024 Annual Report. engcon could continue to be impacted by the prevailing business environment and macro-economic situation with increasing inflation and interest-rate hikes as well as increased tariffs and other trade restrictions, for more information, refer to page 7 in the Risks and uncertainties section.

NOTE 3. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Derivatives

The company holds derivatives that are measured at fair value at level 2 through profit or loss. At 31 March, there was a receivable amounting to SEK 4 million (1). The measurement

method is discounting of contractual cash flows with interest and currency on the balance sheet date.

No transfers were made between level 1 and level 2 during the current or prior years.

NOTE 5. SEGMENT REPORTING AND ALLOCATION OF REVENUE

Operating segments are accounted for in a way that is consistent with the internal reports submitted to the chief operating decision maker. Group management and the CEO have been identified as the chief operating decision makers for assessment of the Group's earnings and position, as well as making strategic decisions. Group management and the CEO monitor the financial development in the Group as a unit. Accordingly, only one segment is recognised, which corresponds with the consolidated income statement. The reason that the Group is monitored as a segment is that earnings measures are only monitored at total level, since production and other overall costs are central for the Group and not distributed among the geographic market regions. Only the regions' sales and order intake in volume are monitored at a level lower than the operating segment.

Geographic market regions

The Group's sales are divided into four geographic market regions:

  • Nordic region Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland
  • Europe Europe excluding the Nordic region
  • Americas North America and South America
  • Asia-Oceania Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand and Rest of the world

Internal sales are conducted between the production companies and the local sales companies, as well as between the local sales companies. Sales and installations are mainly conducted through dealers and our own local sales companies.

Net sales by geographic region

Q1 Jan-Dec
SEK million 2025 2024 Δ 2024
Nordic region 190 159 31 623
Europe 182 156 26 689
Americas 37 42 -5 211
Asia-Oceania 37 37 -0 126
Total 446 394 52 1,649

Of total net sales for the period, Sweden, where the company is domiciled, accounted for SEK 69 million (54) in the Nordic region and the US accounted for SEK 29 million (33) in the Americas. The net sales above are based on where the customer is domiciled.

NOTE 6. INCENTIVE PROGRAMMES

In 2021, the Board resolved to introduce a long-term incentive programme in the form of a warrant programme for employees in the engcon Group. The purpose of the program is to encourage broad-based share ownership amongst the company's employees, facilitate recruitment, maintain competent employees, increase the alignment of interests between the employees and the company's shareholders and increase motivation to reach or exceed the company's financial targets. As of 31 March, 194 (202) engcon employees are participating in the warrant programme. A total of 1,517,880 warrants were issued, of which per den 31 March 2025,

1,094,785 (1,110,285) were subscribed for. The change pertains to the return of warrants in conjunction with termination of employment. Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one share in engcon at an agreed future price. Warrants are conditional on a vesting period of five years. To participate in this programme, employees encompassed by the programme pay a premium that is based on the fair value of allotted warrants that are measured in accordance with the Black & Scholes model. Therefore, for this programme, no cost is recognised during the vesting period since employees have paid the fair value.
