Endorsement and Statement by the Board of Directors and the CEO

Operations of the Group

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.

Operations in the three-month period ended 31 March 2025

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.

Statement by the Board of Directors and the CEO

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.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

1. Reporting entity

Festi hf. (the "Company" or "the Group") is an Icelandic public limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Iceland. The Company's headquarters are located at Dalvegur 10-14, Kópavogur, Iceland. The main business activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group") consists of sale of fuel, goods and services in service stations, groceries and related products, sale of medicines, sale of electronic equipment and leasing of properties. These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of the Company as at and for the three months ended 31 March 2025 comprise of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company is listed on Nasdaq Iceland.

2. Basis of preparation

The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the three months ended 31 March 2025 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the European Union and, as applicable, additional requirements of the Icelandic Financial Statements Act. The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for financial assets and liabilities, which are valued at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income and the Company's real estate leased to third parties are revalued to fair value. They do not include all the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024.

The accounting policies and methods of computation applied in these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024.

The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are prepared and presented in Icelandic krona (ISK), which is the Company's functional currency. All amounts are presented in thousands of Icelandic krona unless otherwise stated. The Board of Directors of Festi hf. approved the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements on 29 April 2025.

3. Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions, which affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were in all major matters the same as those applied to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024.

4. New and revied IFRS's

The accounting policies and methods of computation applied in these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024. A few new standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2025 and earlier application is permitted; however, the Group has not early adopted the new or amended standards in preparing these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements as they are not considered to have significant impact on the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

5. Operating segments

Reportable segments for the three months ended 31 March 2025

Notes, continued:
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.

sales process of the shares of the companies in Olíudreifing, whereas 60% of Olíudreifing is owned by Festi and 40% by
Olís. On 3 December 2024 it was announced that non-binding offers had been received for all shares in Olíudreifing and

will lead to binding offers for Olíudreifing, which could result in the sale of the company.
