Comment from Tom Erixon

President and CEO

Outlook for the second quarter

"We expect demand in the second quarter to be on about the same level as in the first quarter."

Earlier published outlook (February 5, 2025): "We expect demand in the first quarter to be on about the same level as in the fourth quarter."

"The market conditions were stable in the quarter, both sequentially and compared to the same quarter last year. A solid order intake in line with expectations at just below 18 BSEK was affected by a currency revaluation of the order book, primarily related to the NOK/US dollar exchange rate in the Marine Division. Despite the revaluation, amounting to approximately -0.9 BSEK, the order book remained on a high level of 52.1 BSEK. Demand was firm in all three divisions, especially in service and the transactional business. The large project pipeline remained on a good level, but the current market uncertainty slowed down the pace for final investment decisions in the quarter.

Invoicing was supported by the strong order book and ended at 16.5 BSEK in the quarter, an organic growth of 10 percent. Service grew at a slightly higher pace of 13 percent and accounted for almost 32 percent of invoicing, an unusually high share of the total and a testament to our strategic activities in recent years.

The adjusted EBITA margin improved to 17.7 percent in the quarter, primarily driven by the Marine Division. A positive mix and growth in the service business contributed to the Marine Division´s margin of 21.8 percent. The Food & Water Division also improved the margin compared to last year, mainly because of improved volumes in the transactional business portfolio. The Energy Division recorded a lower margin compared to last year. The operational performance was stable, and the lower margin was mainly a result of inventory revaluation effects between the quarters. In all, the adjusted EBITA amounted to 2.9 BSEK in the quarter, an increase of 20 percent compared to last year.

The proposal to acquire Fives Cryogenics was announced in the quarter. The company is a world leader in gas liquefaction, a process used for LNG as well as for hydrogen and carbon capture. It will be a complementary technology to Alfa Laval´s portfolio of heat transfer solutions. The synergies will mainly consist of providing Fives Cryogenics with a strong global sales and distribution network for both cryogenic heat exchangers and cryogenic pumps. The transaction is expected to close in September this year.

Demand is expected to remain at the current level in the second quarter, except for marine cargo pumping systems. As earlier communicated, the exceptionally high contracting volume of tankers during the last two years will slow in the coming quarters, affecting the Marine Division order intake starting in the second quarter. Given the strong order book, the current geopolitical and macro-economic turbulence will likely have a limited impact on Alfa Laval´s short-term performance. Still, the group will take prudent steps already now to be prepared for a potentially weaker market going forward."

Tom Erixon, President and CEO

Invoicing in the quarter reached SEK 16,465 (14,906) million, a growth of 10.5 percent compared to the same quarter last year. Sequentially, invoicing followed normal seasonality and decreased with 10.1 percent. Sales in the quarter yielded an adjusted EBITA of SEK 2,916 (2,436) million and a margin equivalent of 17.7 percent (16.3), an increase of 20 percent. Service invoicing grew 13 percent, accounting for an above normal mix of invoicing at 32 percent.

Similarly, a positive mix and service content resulted in a strong Marine Division adjusted EBITA margin of 21.8 percent. Growth in the transactional business portfolio boosted the Food & Water division margin above the levels recorded in Q1 last year. The Energy division recorded a lower margin compared to last year. The operational performance was stable, and the lower margin was mainly a result of inventory revaluation effects between the quarters

Adjusted gross profit margin was in line with expectations at 37.5 (36.5) percent, boosted by better factory and engineering results and positive purchasing price variances compared to the same quarter last year. Operating income increased with 27.3 percent to SEK 2,800 (2,199) million in the quarter. The current order book with planned deliveries supports a continued good invoicing level, the order book in general is in line with current input cost levels.

Sales and administration expenses were SEK 2,604 (2,457) million during the first quarter 2025, corresponding to 15.8 (16.5) percent of net sales. Sales and administration expenses increased by 6.0 percent during the first quarter 2025 compared to the corresponding period last year.

The costs for research and development during the first quarter 2025 corresponded to 2.6 (2.6) percent of net sales. The costs for research and development increased with 7.9 percent during the first quarter compared to the corresponding period last year.

*Sequential change between Q4 2024 and Q1 2025.

Order intake*

The Energy Division reported a slightly lower order intake compared to the same quarter last year. The strong growth in data centres continued and demand in Fossil base fuels and power remained positive. From a regional perspective, the demand was high in most Asian markets but declined in Europe, mainly due to a softer project business. Order intake grew in North America, driven by good demand in the United States.

Order intake in HVAC** was at similar level as last year and the quarter did not give any signal of a meaningful re-bound in the heat pump market. More positive is the strong demand in air conditioning and district heating which offset the soft demand in heat pumps. The order intake growth in Light industry & tech was driven by high growth in data centres. Other applications related to semiconductors, manufacturing and engine, had a stable development. Orders in Fossil base fuels & power grew in the quarter with increased demand in gas, conventional power and refinery. The demand in oil applications was slightly lower compared to the same quarter last year. Order intake in Process industry was lower compared to the strong quarter last year, but demand remained on healthy levels. Good demand in organic chemicals and pulp & paper could not fully offset a weaker order intake for inorganic chemicals and circularity. Orders declined in Clean fuels, power and chemicals. High growth in nuclear with increasing activity level could not compensate for lower demand for clean fuels and clean power. However, the underlying sentiment for clean energy solutions remain positive and the lower activity level was mainly driven by delays in project order bookings.

Service orders declined compared to the same quarter last year. Demand for spare parts was weak with few project orders but strong growth for other services.

Net sales*

Sales in the quarter increased compared to the same quarter last year. Projects sales increased whilst the transactional sales decreased in the quarter. The mix change reflects the order mix from previous year and the current composition of the order book.

Adjusted EBITA***

Adjusted EBITA decreased compared to last year. Invoicing increased slightly, with a neutral mix impact, but did not fully compensate for higher costs related to R&D and investments programs. Gross profit remained stable despite an increased share of large project orders in execution. Currency did not have any impact on the overall result.

Order intake*

Order intake was unchanged compared to the same quarter last year. The trend from 2024 was maintained for the start of 2025, with good demand in the transactional business and Service whereas larger orders declined.

Geographically, Europe showed good growth driven by Eastern and Southern Europe. North America also grew. Demand in Latin America remained healthy, but orders were somewhat lower compared to a very strong quarter last year. Order intake in Asia was strong, not least in China. Order intake in Biofuel, a newly defined key industry as from this quarter, was stable. Even though higher blending requirements in countries like USA, Brazil and India remain, the ethanol industry declined, albeit from a high level. HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) orders in Europe as well as Asia grew well, compensating for a softer ethanol demand. Order intake in Oils & fats, now representing the traditional oils & fats excluding biofuel applications, declined. The lower activity follows significant capacity investments during 2023 and early 2024 combined with current lower commodity prices. Protein orders declined compared to a very strong quarter last year. However, the transactional business showed solid growth, supporting a continued good sentiment also outside the plant-based protein area. Orders in Dairy grew. The transactional business drove growth as larger capacity related orders remained on a somewhat lower level. Pharma & biotech grew strongly, particularly in North America, but also Asia grew with China being the main contributor. Globally, a continued positive sentiment is noticed. Waste & water grew strongly, driven by the North American market. Europe, as well as Asia, showed some marginal contraction. Brewery orders grew well. Capacity related investments in general remained limited with the industry still subject to a consolidation.

Service orders grew, especially for spare parts. Activity was strong in most key industries, exception being an unchanged water & waste area and a decline in ethanol. Geographically, Europe and North America were positive whereas demand in Asia developed strongly.

Net sales*

Net sales grew compared to last year, supported by a healthy order book already entering the quarter. The Service share grew, balancing a higher share of revenue recognition in the project business, leaving total mix impact fairly neutral. Industry wise, sales grew in all industries except for Biofuels.

Adjusted EBITA**

Adjusted EBITA grew strongly, not least benefitting from higher sales. A combination of an overall positive sales mix, stronger factory performance and a solid execution of larger projects, compensated for increased costs driven by inflation and higher activity reflected in sales and administrative costs. Currency also had a limited positive impact on the EBITA in the quarter.

*Sequential change between Q4 2024 and Q1 2025.

Order intake*

Order intake for the Marine Division was at a lower level compared to the same quarter last year driven by a revaluation of the order book of marine pumping systems with SEK -0.8 billion, a normalization of tanker vessel contracting and lower ballast water systems. All other business posted growth in the quarter.

Heightened geopolitical uncertainty has short term impacted the growth trajectory of contracting levels. Bulk carrier and tanker ordering has been weak, but containership and cruise ship contracting has remained robust amid contracting for 'green' fleet renewal. While the pace of gas carrier contracting has decelerated in early 2025, there remains strong interest in LNG bunkering vessels. The green transition continues on the path of decarbonization, with LNG dominating the demand for multi-fuel capable solutions such as boilers and fuel supply systems.

Offshore orders were at a lower level compared to the same quarter last year, mainly related to the timing of project decisions. The underlying market sentiment remains strong with the addition of new projects to safeguard long term energy security.

Service orders grew compared to the same quarter last year. Demand was driven by a good activity level in both the Shipping and Offshore end markets and due to a growing installed base of environmental solutions. Good freight rates in almost all vessel segments and the consequent desire to keep vessel assets in good operational readiness resulted in increased on-board maintenance and higher demand for all service scopes, ranging from spare parts to service.

Net sales*

Net sales were at a higher level compared to the same quarter last year. Sales were higher for both capital sales and Service in almost all product areas except ballast water systems, with good execution of the large order book.

Adjusted EBITA**

Adjusted EBITA increased compared to the same quarter last year, driven by higher sales volumes and a positive mix. The factory and engineering result was positive due to the continued high operational load. However, the cost level was higher than last year due to inflationary pressures and increased activity levels.

Sustainability

Case studies

Safety at work

Safety at work is of the highest priority at Alfa Laval. A recent example of the continuous work to improve safety is the phase out of hazardous hardening glue in one of our factories. The glue was used to ensure strong and durable adhesion of screws and joints. The phase out of glue was possible after new strength calculations and hundreds of updated specifications and drawings had been made by the factory and the Research & Development team.

Truck freight as default option in Europe

Alfa Laval continues to reduce carbon emissions for transportation by going away from air freight transportation. All freight from European distribution centres has in collaboration with sales companies now been set to truck freight default instead of air freight to customers in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Poland, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Netherlands, Belgium, UK and Luxemburg.

In the coming months the approach will be rolled out to more countries.

Wooden pallets get a new life in furniture

In collaboration with Stena Recycling, wooden packaging from the factory in Lund is being recycled into raw material for chipboard used in the furniture industry.

Since autumn 2024, the factory has recycled 256 metric ton of wooden packaging instead of sending them to incineration.

Quarterly follow up

Energy

Alfa Laval's overall energy consumption decreased in Q1 2025 compared to Q1 2024. Due to colder weather, there was an increase in the use of natural gas in some regions as well as a general increase in electricity consumption. Simultaneously, district heating consumption in Northern Europe declined due to initiatives within local energy plans and ongoing efforts to regulate and optimize heating in facilities.

Carbon emissions

Scope 1 is slightly higher in Q1 2025 compared to Q1 2024 due to increased natural gas consumption. The decline in Scope 2 is mainly due to the efforts to reduce district heating consumption in facilities in Northern Europe.

Health and safety

The number of Lost Time Injuries (LTIs) increased during Q1 2025, after a rather long period of positive development. Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) took a step up and ended on 2.0 (LTM). During the quarter there have been a number of accidents related to slips, trips and falls. Particularly during service activities, but also during manual handling of products. Specific actions have been taken aiming to reverse this trend and further raise awareness of the associated risks. There were no serious accidents during the quarter resulting in significant bodily harm.

New products during the first quarter

During the first quarter Alfa Laval has introduced, among others, the following new products that help our customers to become more energy efficient, reduce their carbon footprint and improve their processes:

1. Alfa Laval T25 semi-welded heat exchanger

Building on Alfa Laval's proven semi-welded technology, which has been in operation for decades across numerous industries, the TS25 is specifically engineered for applications limited by pressure drop, such as electrolyser cooling, sulphuric acid production and other process industries. In addition, the heat exchanger is a great choice for industrial heat pumps. The TS25 delivers exceptional performance, versatility, safety and with the compact design, it offers more capacity in less space.

2. Alfa Laval Optiwia™

Alfa Laval Optiwia™ is a new plug-and-play technology for centrifuges that saves up to 70% water. It is changing the game in the brewing and beverage sectors by optimizing the efficient use of process water. This innovative solution was developed in response to our customers drive to lower the environmental impact of their operations. The Optiwia technology means that the customers can recover cooling water and reuse it to flush the machine instead of the water going down the drain. It also makes customers in water scarce areas less dependant on stable access to water.

3. Alfa Laval Hapag-Lloyd

Hapag-Lloyd, a leading global liner shipping company operating around 300 container ships, has been proactively advancing its sustainability initiatives using low carbon fuels as LNG and biofuels.

To ensure compliance with the FuelEU Maritime regulation effective from January 1, 2025, which mandates reduced greenhouse gas intensity and increased use of sustainable fuels, Hapag-Lloyd utilizes StormGeo's digital solutions, s-Log and s-Insight. These StormGeo tools facilitate accurate monitoring, reporting, and validation of GHG intensity across their fleet, aligning with various emission reduction schemes. The collaboration with StormGeo underscores Hapag-Lloyd's commitment to leveraging advanced technologies for environmental compliance and sustainable shipping practices.

Like Hapag-Lloyd, many others have chosen StormGeo's solutions to support their environmental goals and assure regulatory compliance. Over 1,000 vessels worldwide are now using StormGeo's FuelEU Maritime solution to navigate the complexities of emissions compliance and fuel efficiency.

General information

Owners and shares

Parent company

Alfa Laval AB (publ) is the parent company of the Alfa Laval Group. The company does not sell goods or services to external customers.

Owners and legal structure

Alfa Laval AB had 57,873 (54,251) shareholders on March 31, 2025. The largest owner is Winder Holding AG, Switzerland, who owns 29.5 (29.5) percent. Next to the largest owner, there are nine institutional investors with ownership in the range of 7.6 to 2.1 percent. These ten largest shareholders owned 62.3 (59.5) percent.

Proposed disposition of earnings

The Board of Directors propose a dividend of SEK 8.50 (7.50) per share corresponding to SEK 3,513 (3,100) million to the Annual General Meeting and that the remaining income available for distribution in Alfa Laval AB (publ) of SEK 4,060 (6,193) million be carried forward.

The Board of Directors are of the opinion that the proposed dividend is consistent with the requirements that the type and size of operations, the associated risks, the capital needs, liquidity and financial position put on the company.

Acquisitions of businesses

On January 1, 2025, Alfa Laval acquired 100 % of an American service provider. The company will operate under its own name as an independent channel and has a minor impact on the group.

On February 5, 2025, Alfa Laval announced the signing of an agreement to acquire NRG Marine, a leading provider of ultrasonic anti-fouling solutions for marine, oil and gas, and industrial applications, headquartered in the United Kingdom. The acquisition aims to leverage the increased use of innovative ultrasonic antifouling technology, which is poised to increase in demand across significant industries. The acquisition was completed and announced on April 2, 2025.

On March 21, 2025, Alfa Laval announced the signing of a binding put-option agreement to acquire the Fives Cryogenics business unit, part of Fives Group, for a total fixed purchase price of EUR 800 million on a cash and debt-free basis. Fives Cryogenics is a worldleading expert in cryogenic heat transfer and pump technologies, headquartered in France. The proposed acquisition remains subject to consultation with the relevant works councils, after which the parties expect to enter into a definitive purchase agreement. This proposed acquisition would provide Alfa Laval with a strong portfolio of heat transfer and pump products for gas liquefaction. Fives Cryogenics employs more than 700 people and in 2024 had

revenue of approximately EUR 200 million. The company is expected to generate revenue of EUR 200-250 million and be neutral to positive to the Alfa Laval group margin. Closing of the transaction is subject to the necessary regulatory approvals and is expected during 2025.

Risks and uncertainties

Material factors of risk and uncertainty

The main factors of risk and uncertainty facing the Group concern the business cycle, the consequences of Russia's war on Ukraine and other geo-political tensions, the price development of metals, inflationary pressures, the interest rate development and volatile fluctuations in major currencies. It is the company's opinion that the description of risks made in the Annual Report for 2024 is still correct.

Russia's war on Ukraine

The ongoing conflict has resulted in that Alfa Laval has ceased all commercial activities in Russia. Alfa Laval's assessment is that the longer-term implications of the war are of such a magnitude that the company in 2022 provided for the entire closure of operations.

Sanctions

The current geopolitical environment has resulted in several sanction packages imposed on several countries where conflicts are ongoing. Alfa Laval follows and enforces all sanction imposed by the European Union as well as all US and other sanctions that are applicable. The significantly increased amount of sanctioned entities together with the sophisticated circumvention attempts, make the assurance work more demanding.

Asbestos-related lawsuits

The Alfa Laval Group was as of March 31, 2025 named as a codefendant in a total of 328 asbestos-related lawsuits with a total of approximately 328 plaintiffs. Alfa Laval strongly believes the claims against the Group are without merit and intends to vigorously contest each lawsuit.

Based on current information and Alfa Laval's understanding of these lawsuits, Alfa Laval continues to believe that these lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial condition or results of operation.

Implication of tariffs

The dynamics and development of global trade is uncertain with background of the ongoing implementation of trade tariffs and reciprocal escalations in response. Alfa Laval is monitoring the situation closely to ensure appropriate measures are taken to handle commercial exposures, supply chain disruptions and guide further actions.

Other

Alternative performance measures

Alfa Laval follows the Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures issued by ESMA, European Securities and Markets Authority. For definitions of the alternative performance measures, refer to the Annual Report 2024. The definitions remain unchanged, except for Order backlog which has changed name to Order book. Additionally, the Alternative Performance Measure (APM) "Free cash flow per share" has been restated from Q1 2025 due to modifications in the presentation of the consolidated statement of cash flows. Detailed information regarding these modifications can be found in Note 1 and 9. The affected APM is marked with a footnote where applicable, as the comparison periods have been recalculated.

Significant events after the reporting period

No significant events other than stated above have occurred after the reporting period.

The interim report has not been subject to review by the company's auditors.

Notes

Note 1. Accounting principles

The interim report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The accounting and valuation principles of the parent company comply with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for legal entities, issued by the Council for Financial Reporting in Sweden.

Full descriptions of accounting principles are presented in the Annual Report 2024. These principles have been consistently applied as in the Annual Report, however, starting from Q1 2025, some changes have been implemented in the interim report. Structurally, certain information has been moved to a notes section. Additionally, the Consolidated comprehensive income has been divided into two separate reports: the Condensed consolidated income statement and the Condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The Condensed consolidated statement of cash flows is now presented after the Condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity. Furthermore, changes have been made to the presentation of some of the financial statements, detailed below:

Condensed consolidated income statement and Condensed parent company income statement: The financial statement lines "Other operating income" and "Other operating costs" have been merged into "Other operating income and costs". Similarly, the lines "Dividends and other financial income and costs", "Interest income and financial exchange rate gains" and "Interest expense and financial exchange rate losses" have been merged into "Financial net", which is specified in Note 6.

Condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income: The Comprehensive income is now presented in a separate financial statement with a slightly modified layout for clarity.

Condensed statement of changes in equity: The layout of this report has been revised for better clarity. Additionally, the statement is now condensed with fewer details, presenting only the current period and the comparison period.

Condensed consolidated statement of cash flows: The structure of the cash flow statement has been remodelled and the comparative numbers have been recalculated accordingly. Please refer to Note 9 for further details.

Furthermore, the report on Net sales by product has been condensed to only show Alfa Laval's main product groups, including related services. This means that the previous categories "Marine environmental", "Associated products", and "Services" are now included in the other four categories. The categories "Marine environmental " and "Associated Products" are included in "Other", while "Service" is distributed across all categories as service is reported based on the type of product it was performed on.

Moreover, the amounts previously reported as "Consolidation adjustments" in the table Reconciliation between Divisions and Group total are now included in the Adjusted EBITA and Operating Income in the Other Division. Thus, the amounts are now part of the Adjusted EBITA for the Divisions in the table "Reconciliation between Divisions and Group total" as well as in Other in Note 2. Segment reporting.

The totals in the tables and the calculated totals may not always match due to rounding differences on individual lines. Each subtotal, and line item, corresponds to its original source and rounding, which can lead to discrepancies with reported totals that aggregate the exact figures before rounding.
