INTERIM REPORT Q1

  • A seasonally soft quarter with low activity, signs of market stabilization and anticipated recovery over the year
  • Continued efforts to reduce indirect costs and strengthen the gross margin
  • Full-year outlook remains unchanged with a significantly improved adjusted EBITA

INTERIM PERIOD 1 JANUARY – 31 MARCH

  • The Group's net revenue amounted to SEK 204.1 million (231.6), adjusted EBITDA amounted to SEK 13.5 million (23.7) corresponding to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 6.6% (10.2%), and adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK -1.4 million (9.5) corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of -0.7% (4.1%). On a comparable and currency-adjusted basis, as well as adjusted for discontinued operations, net sales declined by 9.7%. Cash flow from operations during the first quarter amounted to -5.6 million (11.0)
  • Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to SEK -26.6 million (5.7) and was impacted by items affecting comparability, primarily restructuring costs. Items affecting comparability totalled SEK 22.2 million (0.8), mainly pertaining to restructuring costs of SEK 20.9 million (-1.9), including SEK 14.4 million in personnel expenses, along with costs related to system change and implementation, and transaction costs
  • The Group's net earnings amounted to SEK -31.1 million (4.2)
  • The Group's basic and diluted earnings per share amounted to SEK -2.30 (0.30)

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE QUARTER

  • In February 2025, it was announced that Wall to Wall Group entered a strategic partnership with the Trelleborg Group to develop the next generation of materials for pipe relining. The new materials will be used and sold under Wall to Wall Group's own brand, providing the group with a unified material solution
  • During the quarter, the company repurchased its own shares, corresponding to 28,979 shares, and as of 31 March 2025, treasury shares amounted to 320,532

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE QUARTER

  • Wall to Wall Group, through its subsidiary Skånska Högtrycksspolarna AB, has been awarded a significant contract as the primary contractor for flushing services by Regionfastigheter, part of Region Skåne. The contract covers pipe flushing and pipe relining across several locations within the region, including Malmö, Helsingborg, Lund, and Kristianstad. The contract extends over an initial two-year period with an option for a two-year renewal and is estimated to be worth approximately SEK 30 million for flushing services. The total contract value may further increase as additional pipe relining and additional related services are included
  • Wall to Wall Group, through its subsidiary Slamsugningstjänst i Halland AB, has been awarded a significant framework agreement for emptying services by Halmstads Energi och Miljö AB. The contract covers the emptying of sludge from individual sewage treatment systems, grease waste from grease separators, and food waste from individual food waste tanks throughout Halmstad municipality. The contract extends over an eight-year period and is estimated to be worth approximately SEK 30 million

OUTLOOK

• Activity during the seasonally soft start of the year was overall lower than expected, but the market is showing signs of stabilization. Many necessary investments in the real estate sector that had previously been postponed are expected to drive a recovery during the year in both pipe relining and energy-saving solutions. Flushing services continue to perform well and are expected to grow through new contracts and geographic expansion. Combined with lower indirect cost and a more coordinated and efficient organization, a significantly improved operating result (adjusted EBITA) is expected for 2025 compared to 2024. The outlook remains unchanged from previously communicated guidance

CEO COMMENTS

MARKET STABILIZATION

The first quarter is seasonally softer for most of Wall to Wall Group's operations. Overall, we are seeing signs of market stabilization, although broad-based growth has yet to take hold. The Group's main customer segments remain cautious but are generally in a stronger financial position today than before, as high fee-based costs and rising interest rates constrained their ability to fully maintain their properties. The current market stabilization is expected to support previously postponed maintenance needs being addressed over the course of the year.

The pipe flushing operations, which include both emergency and preventive services, saw normal activity levels during the period and continue to show stable prospects. The energy-saving solutions segment is recovering from low levels, with growing interest particularly in duct sealing, which offers a cost-effective and environmentally smart alternative for ventilation system renovations. Activity in the pipe relining segment has been low, even when accounting for seasonal effects. However, it is important to note that pipe relining projects tend to lag naturally, as execution typically follows a period after contracts are initiated and signed. Several major agreements have been secured recently, including within flushing services, which in turn drives demand for pipe relining. Net sales were lower than last year, mainly due to low activity in pipe relining and the discontinuation of loss-making greenfield businesses. The Group's lower gross margin compared to the previous year is primarily attributable to a handful of underperforming pipe relining units currently undergoing improvement measures, which are temporarily offsetting an underlying margin recovery. Overall, activity during the first quarter was lower than expected, but the stabilizing market provides a stronger foundation for improved performance over the remainder of the year.

TRANSITION TOWARDS INCREASED COLLABORATION AND LOWER INDIRECT COSTS

During the quarter, we identified and implemented further measures to improve internal collaboration and efficiency, and thereby significantly reducing the Group's indirect costs. The target remains unchanged – indirect costs shall not exceed 20 percent of net sales. This is primarily being achieved through the consolidation of sales and project management functions, centralized and streamlined administration, and an optimized organizational structure, and is expected to be implemented without any negative impact on revenues.

Based on the current revenue level, the target implies reducing indirect costs to c. SEK 180 million on an annual basis, a level we expect to achieve during the year. Over the past twelve months, indirect costs amounted to SEK 212.4 million, representing a decrease of 10.6 percent compared to the corresponding period last year, and a decrease of 3.6 percent compared to the full year 2024, adjusted for currency effects and on a comparable basis. During the quarter, we made provisions for costs related to these initiatives. Additional provisions may be needed but are expected to remain limited. The work is ongoing and not yet complete, but we are making good progress.

MATERIAL COLLABORATION AND STANDARDIZED WAYS OF WORKING IN PIPE RELINING

The collaboration with Trelleborg Sealing Solutions is progressing as planned. Testing, production adaptation, and certification of a new material, with full certification expected within 18 months. At the same time, existing materials and working methods are being gradually phased into production. The transition to common materials and standardized working methods is expected to increase efficiency, lower installation costs, and strengthen collaboration across the relining units. This is expected to have a positive impact on the gross margin.

BUILDING A UNIFIED MARKET PRESENCE

We are now taking the final step in uniting the Group's operations together under a single brand. This marks a shift in how we build customer relationships and position the Group in the market. Local brands may continue to be used where considered valuable, but the connection to Wall to Wall Group will be clearly visible. The transition is gradual throughout the year and aligned with joint sales initiatives that complement local sales.

Meanwhile, we have secured several key contracts – including a framework agreement with Region Skåne for flushing and relining services for the regions's properties, a long-term framework agreement with Halmstad Energi och Miljö for flushing services, and two major relining projects in Denmark, one of which is the largest relining project that the Group has secured this year.

OUTLOOK

Overall, activity at the start of the year was below expectations. At the same time, we are seeing signs of market stabilization. The real estate sector is in a significantly stronger position today than before. Many necessary investments in planned maintenance have been deferred – not cancelled – which is expected to drive a recovery that will primarily benefit our pipe relining and energysaving operations. Flushing services and offerings that address ongoing maintenance needs continue to perform well, and we see good opportunities for growth through new contracts and geographic expansion. In parallel, we are continuing to pursue an opportunistic acquisition agenda, focusing on flushing and energysaving solutions.

In addition to a stabilizing market that is expected to strengthen revenue and ongoing cost measures that are reducing indirect costs, we also see opportunities to further strengthen our gross margin. Over the past twelve months, the gross margin amounted

to 33.7 percent on a comparable basis. Through the recently initiated material partnership and the opportunities it creates for more efficient working methods we expect further margin improvement, beyond the stable trend we have already seen over an extended period.

In summary, a more stable market – together with a more scalable and cost-efficient organization with significantly lower indirect costs – is expected to significantly improve operating profit for the full year.

André Strömgren CEO, Wall to Wall

Group

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

Wall to Wall Group is a leading Nordic provider of pipe relining, pipe flushing, maintenance and sealing of ventilation ducts, as well as complementary services such as geothermal heating solutions for multi-family buildings (duct sealing and geothermal heating is collectively referred to as energy-saving solutions). All services are marketed and delivered through the same channels. The company's core business areas are pipe relining and pipe flushing. By offering innovative services and technical solutions, Wall to Wall Group helps extend the lifespan of Nordic properties while reducing environmental impact and improving operational efficiency and indoor air quality.

The Group's end customers include property owners, commercial managers of residential and commercial buildings, as well as public housing companies and housing cooperatives.

The Group employs over 400 people and operates in more than 20 locations across Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland. The Nordic market for pipe relining and pipe flushing is highly fragmented, valued at over SEK 10 billion in 2024, and has historically experienced double-digit growth. While the market was under pressure in 2024, similar growth rates are expected in the coming years. Sweden is the largest single market, accounting for approximately 60% of the total Nordic market.

Wall to Wall Group has a clear growth strategy with strong potential for expansion—both organically and through acquisitions, as well as by establishing operations in new locations.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies and methods of calculation applied in this interim report are in accordance with the policies described in the 2024 Annual Report.

Basis for preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, RFR 1 Supplementary Reporting Rules for Groups, as well as the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) as adopted by the EU. This interim report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost convention.

The company operates within one operating segment.

Risks

The Group is exposed through its operations to general business and financial risks. The risks are divided into four categories: strategic risks, operational risks, compliance risks and financial risks. For further description of the risks connected with the Group's operations, please refer to the 2024 Annual Report, as well as the additional information below.

The economy and interest rates

The Group's end customers consist of property owners, primarily commercial managers of residential and commercial properties, public housing companies and housing cooperatives. As such, the Group is impacted by macroeconomic factors and cycles affecting the real estate industry. To date, the Group have not observed increased risk in receivables or extended payment terms from its customers.

Geopolitical conditions

In recent years, the geopolitical situation has been characterized by significant uncertainty and instability, which has increased the uncertainty regarding global economic developments as well as disruptions in supply and logistics chains. As a consequence of this, there is a risk of disruption to Wall to Wall Group's production, which could have a direct and indirect impact on revenue and profitability. Despite high geopolitical uncertainty, distribution channels and material supplies have returned to more normal levels in recent times, even if this could change on short notice.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Significant estimates and judgements are unchanged from those described in Note 2 of the Group's 2024 Annual Report.

NOTE 6 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE

Issued series 2021:2 and 2021:3 warrants offer the company the possibility to conduct settlement through net strike. This means there is a variability in the number of shares that will be issued and the "fixed for fixed" condition in IAS 32 is therefore not fulfilled. In the event of net settlement, the company uses its own shares as payment to settle the existing obligation.

The number of shares issued depends on the fair value of the company's shares on the settlement date. Series 2021:2 and 2021:3 warrants are therefore recognised in accordance with IAS 32 and classified as financial liabilities and not as equity. The Group's issued investor warrants and contingent earnouts are classified as financial liabilities and are measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).

Change in value of investor warrants is recognised in the income statement under financial items and the change in value for contingent earnouts is recognised in the income statement in the operating profit.

Series 2021:2 warrants issued 0.4 0.4

At the end of the first quarter, the value of liabilities connected to series 2021:2 and 2021:3 warrants outstanding amounted to SEK 0.8 million (SEK 1.0 on 31 December 2023).

Series 2021:2 and 2021:3 warrants are valued according to level 1 and are, as of the end of the period, respectively valued at SEK 0.4 million, 1,200,960 at SEK 0.33 (SEK 0.4 million, 1,200,960 at SEK 0.36 on 31 December 2024) and SEK 0.4 million, 1,965,978 at SEK 0.22 (SEK 0.6 million, 1,965,978 at SEK 0.30 on 31 December 2024) and recognised in other current liabilities.

During the 1 January–31 March 2025 quarter, SEK 0.2 million (2.8) was recognised as financial income in the Group and the Parent

Company as a result of warrant revaluations. At the end of the period, 3,166,938 warrants (3,166,938 on 31 December 2024) were outstanding (series 2021:2 and 2021:3), of which 3,166,938 (3,166,938 on 31 December 2024) were possible to exercise.

Contingent earnout: The company usually uses an acquisition structure with a base consideration and contingent earnout for corporate acquisitions.

In each quarter, the contracts and conditions that govern the size of the contingent earnouts is assessed. Based on these assessments, remeasurements of the size of the contingent earnouts can occur. No revaluations have been made during the quarter.

The assessments are based on actual outcomes and forecasts, which may lead to revaluations. The contingent considerations fall due for payment within three years and are limited to not more than SEK 6.5 million (6.5 on 31 December 2024). During the 1 January–31 March 2025 quarter, SEK 0.0 million (-0.3) in interest was recognised in net financial items concerning contingent earnouts.

NOTE 7 – CORPORATE ACQUISITIONS

No corporate acquisitions have been made during the quarter.

Acquisition-related costs

Acquisition-related costs during the 1 January–31 March 2025 quarter of SEK -0.3 million (-0.9) are included in other external expenses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and in operating activities in the cash-flow statement.
