The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of Festi hf. for the period from 1 January to 31 March 2025 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's Annual Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024. The interim financial statements comprise the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of Festi hf. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries together referred to as the "Group". The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have not been audited or reviewed by the Company's independent auditors.
For the period from 1 January to 31 March 2025, profit amounted to ISK 279 million (2024 Q1: 202 million). Total comprehensive income for the period was ISK 294 million (2024 Q1: 202 million). At the end of the period equity amounted to ISK 42,421 million, including share capital in the amount of ISK 311 million. Based on the Company's 2025 Annual General Meeting resolution in March, a dividend of ISK 1.401 million was approved and paid to the shareholders in April and is therefore included in other short-term liabilities in these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements. Reference is made to the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity regarding information on changes in equity.
The operations in the quarter were good and in line with management expectations. Sale increased by 17.3% YoY thereof 14.4% from Lyfja which was not part of the Group in same quarter last year. Sale margin increased by 31.0% and margin contribution level increased by 2.5% p.p. YoY. General wage increases in the labour market took effect in the quarter with increases in salary cost of more than 5% going forward. Inflation has been steadily going down which gives hope to further interest rates cut later in the year. The effects of large increases in tariffs on imports into USA announced in April has created much volatility in price of commodities and global currency, especially US dollar against other currencies. In management view there are still no signs of major effects for the year from this in Festi operations with the important summer months coming up. Outlook remains good with EBITDA forecast unchanged, between ISK 14,400–14,800 million.
The Company's Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union and, as applicable, additional requirements of the Icelandic Financial Statements Act.
According to the best of our knowledge, in our opinion the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the financial performance of the Group for the three-month period ended 31 March 2025, its assets, liabilities and financial position as of 31 March 2025, and change in cash and cash equivalents for the period then ended. Furthermore, in our opinion the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and the Endorsement and Statement by the Board of Directors and the CEO give a true and fair view of the development and results of the Group´s operations and its position and describes the principal risk and uncertainties faced by the Group.
The Board of Directors and the CEO have today discussed the Company's Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of Festi hf. for the period from 1 January to 31 March 2025 and confirm them by means of their signatures.

| Operating segments | |||||||
| An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activity from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses, including revenue and expenses relating to transactions with other segments of the Group. Segments are determined by the Company´s management, which regularly reviews the Group´s segments to decide upon how assets are allocated as well as to monitor their financial performance. |
|||||||
| Operating results of segments, their assets and liabilities consist of items directly attributable to individual segments as well as those items which can be allocated in a logical way. Capital expenditure of segments consists of the total cost of acquisition of operating and intangible assets. Transactions between segments are priced on an arm's length basis. |
|||||||
| The operating companies of ELKO, Krónan, Lyfja, N1 and Yrkir eignir are individual operating segments. The Group´s other entities comprise the sixth segment. That segment consists of the operations of the Parent Company Festi and Bakkinn Vöruhótel. The operations of Lyfja were included in the Group from July 2024. |
