Letter to the shareholders

Dear shareholders,

As expected by the Executive Board, the start into the year 2025 was characterised by a weak performance. This was due to a challenging market environment and the high level of uncertainty among market participants in Germany. The most recent positive signs were a slight improvement in the performance of the Amadeus Fire business in March, accompanied by a recovery in the Business Climate Index. On the other hand, there is increasing pressure on global and national growth forecasts and geopolitical uncertainties. It also remains to be seen whether the new German coalition government will be able to provide any stimulus once it takes office. Overall, we confirm our forecast for 2025.

The German economy begins 2025 under difficult conditions. Weak domestic demand, geopolitical uncertainties and a decline in incoming orders are impacting the economy. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently revised the growth forecast for Germany significantly downwards and expects no economic growth at all for 2025. The IMF forecasts a moderate increase of 0.9 percent only for 2026. One glimmer of hope is the rise in the ifo Business Climate Index for March by 1.6 points to 86.9 points. This might signal a possible recovery in the German economy, but the situation remains uncertain.

The business environment for Personnel Services remains weak, characterised by low demand, long recruitment times, inhibited decision-making and cautious candidate behaviour. The market situation in the publicly funded training sector is normalising following the end of the 'traffic light' coalition and new elections.

The Amadeus Fire Group responds to business challenges with a cautious recruitment policy and a high level of cost awareness. The Group also invests in IT infrastructure and the use of AI-supported CRM systems to increase the efficiency of the core business. The Company particularly benefits from digitalisation and new, more flexible learning formats in the Training segment. The aim remains to build and establish an own education ecosystem.

The Amadeus Fire Group remains on a path of long-term profitable growth and focuses on organic growth in both business segments. In parallel, targeted investments in inorganic growth through acquisitions in the Training sector are being examined.

The negative earnings trend throughout 2024, the weak months of November to February and the current negative sentiment among companies in Germany lead us to expect a decline in operating earnings for 2025. We confirm our forecast for the financial year 2025 with an operating EBITA of around € 40 million. In the medium term, we believe the Amadeus Fire Group is very well positioned in a dynamically changing labour and training market in view of the ongoing shortage of skilled workers, continuing demographic change and the high demand for professional qualifications. However, 2025 will be another challenging financial year.

We will be delighted if you continue to accompany us on our journey with confidence and trust and reaffirm our existing dividend policy of distributing two thirds of the net profit to you as shareholders. The Executive Board and Supervisory Board will propose to the 2025 Annual General Meeting a dividend of € 4.03 per share.

General conditions

General economic conditions

The German economy remains under strain at the start of 2025. Weak domestic demand, geopolitical uncertainties and a decline in incoming orders are weighing on the economy. While industrial production recovered in January at +2.6 percent, sentiment in the service sector and on the labour market remains subdued. The leading indicators are signalling a possible bottoming out, but there are no real signs of recovery.

Inflation was at 2.3 percent in February and 2.2 percent in March, which is close to the central bank's monetary policy target. Food prices continued to rise, while energy prices fell. A sustained easing of inflation is not expected until later in the year. The retail sector is showing slight growth, but new car registrations and consumer sentiment remain weak. Higher inflation rates are expected worldwide in 2025. In Germany, the forecast is 2.4 percent, driven by government debt and foreign trade risks.

The IMF has significantly reduced its forecast for Germany: no economic growth is expected this year - the weakest result among the G7 countries. The IMF does not expect a slight upturn to 0.9 percent until 2026, but this forecast also falls short of the January expectations.

The number of corporate insolvencies remains high. Unemployment is rising slightly and employment continues to fall. There is no sign of a spring recovery on the labour market. As at March, the unemployment rate based on the total civilian labour force remained unchanged at 6.4 percent. Compared to the previous year (not seasonally adjusted), the rate has risen by 0.4 percentage points.

The U.S. tariff policy and declining incoming orders are dampening the industry's prospects even more and entail a high risk for the development of the overall economic situation. Following the recent decision to suspend U.S. tariffs for the EU for 90 days, further developments remain an open question.

The ifo Business Climate Index rose to 86.9 points in April (February: 85.3). Companies are more positive about their current situation and expectations have also improved noticeably - a glimmer of hope for the German economy. In general, the business climate has brightened across all sectors. The mood has improved significantly in industry in particular. Companies are generally more optimistic about their situation. Nevertheless, the Business Climate Index remains at a significantly low level overall.

General conditions for Personnel Services

The market for temporary staffing continues to decline. According to the German Federal Employment Agency, employment subject to social insurance contributions in the temporary staffing sector fell in January. Not seasonally adjusted, employment in January 2025 fell by 77,000 employees or 12.0 percent compared to the previous year. The same applies to job entries in the temporary staffing sector, which is an informative indicator of the willingness to hire. These again stagnated at a low level.

One indicator of labour demand is the BA-X job index of the Federal Employment Agency. In March 2025, the BA job index (BA-X) of the Federal Employment Agency remained unaltered at 103 points. This indicates no further decline in the demand for labour, although the overall level remains weak. Compared to March 2024, the index is down 10 points. Demand fell year-on-year in all economic sectors.

The ifo Employment Barometer, an indicator of German companies' willingness to recruit employees, fell to 92.7 points in March 2025 (previous year: 96.3 points). German companies continued to reduce their workforce. The situation on the labour market therefore remains noticeably tense.

The industrial sector remains particularly affected and has been reducing employment continuously for almost two years. The service sector is also showing increasing reluctance in terms of personnel planning. Although the barometer in the

retail sector has risen slightly, many retailers have plans to reduce their workforce. No major changes are currently planned in the construction industry.

General conditions for Training

In the first quarter of 2025, the market volume for publicly funded training was significantly above the previous year's level, but only a slight portion of the increase benefited training providers. At the end of March 2025, expenditure by the Federal Employment Agency in the area of SGB II and SGB III was around 28% higher in total than in the previous year and around 41% higher than in 2023, partly due to the Act to Strengthen the Promotion of Initial and Further Training ("Ausbildungsgarantie", "Qualifizierungsgeld") (engl.: 'Training Guarantee', 'Qualification Allowance'), which came into effect on 1 April 2024. As a result, only a proportion of the increased expenditure on qualifications was used for training. Expenditure in the area of qualification allowances, e.g. as wage replacement benefits, does not have a direct impact on the expenditure spent on qualifications.

The willingness of corporate customers to implement training programmes has been negatively impacted by the subdued mood in the German economy and is below the previous year's level.

On the other hand, demand from private customers for professional training planned for the long term is generally less dependent on short-term economic cycles. Overall, however, demand here is still at the previous year's level at most.

Business performance

The forecast recessionary mood within the German economy remained unchanged at the end of the first quarter of 2025. The results of the previous year could not be achieved. Although there is still a shortage of skilled labour, as there was at the end of the previous year 2024, the weak economic situation continues to dominate. Overall, both segments performed negatively, although the Training segment achieved a revenue only slightly below the previous year.

Consolidated revenue for the Amadeus Fire Group amounted to € 98.2 million at the end of March. At € 4.3 million, consolidated operating EBITA* after the first quarter was significantly down on the previous year (-70.2 percent). At € 1.0 million, the profit for the period was also significantly lower than the previous year (-89.3 percent).

Key figures in the segments

Table 2: Key figures in the segments

Personnel Services segment

As expected and forecasted, the Personnel Services segment was unable to match the strong previous year's quarter in the first three months of 2025. The segment's performance was noticeably characterised by the ongoing recessionary mood and the associated uncertainty among both candidates and companies. Although the shortage of skilled workers continues to be a key driver of the personnel services market, uncertainty and negative economic developments are dominant.

At € 57.9 million, revenue generated at the end of the first quarter of 2025 was down -19.4 percent on the previous year. Overall, the noticeable slowdown in business can be felt across all three provided services.

While the interim and project management service, where the development of revenue is primarily dependent on company-specific projects and less on the general economic situation, remained stable compared to the previous year, the areas of temporary staffing and permanent placement both recorded a drop in revenue of more than 20 percent in the first quarter compared to the very strong prior-year quarter.

The decline was especially marked in January and February. Both months showed a comparably weak level of business as last seen in the fourth quarter of 2024. A slight stabilisation recently became apparent in March.

In general, the demand for specialists and managers remains high. However, uncertainty remains dominant as a result of economic volatility, particularly negatively impacting temporary staffing and recruitment agencies. This leads to both a lower willingness to recruit on the part of customers and a decreasing willingness to change employers among potential candidates. This continues to result in a lower conversion rate of enquiries into actual orders.

Segment gross profit of € 27.1 million was generated as at March 2025, a decrease of 23.0 percent compared to the same period of the previous year.

The sales organisation is affected by the ongoing negative economic effects. In order to operate as effectively as possible in the current market, the performance of the individual teams is being closely monitored and positions that have become vacant due to staff fluctuation are not generally being filled. Compared to the previous year, the sales organisation headcount has been reduced.

At € 2.7 million, operating segment EBITA was significantly lower than in the previous year but in line with the Company's expectations. Falling personnel expenses and intensive expense management were offset by a further slight increase in expenses for the evolution of the IT environment and applications.

Table 3: Personnel Services segment

Training segment

In the first quarter of 2025, revenue development for publicly funded training suffered due to the ongoing restrictions on visibility on the Federal Employment Agency's 'MeinNOW' information platform, despite a generally positive market environment. Following the abrupt end of the German 'traffic light' coalition, we once again observed a reluctance to approve training vouchers before a federal election, more pronounced due to the uncertainty that initially arose. As expected, the situation resolved after the election.

The course and seminar business with private customers grew at a robust rate in the first three months of 2025. The different forms of training delivery ensure access to broad customer groups while maintaining attractive margin structures. Training revenue with corporate customers was below the previous year's level in the first quarter of 2025. Overall, segment revenue fell by -6.5 percent to € 40.4 million compared to the very successful first quarter of the previous year.

At € 1.6 million, operating EBITA in the Training segment was 75.9 percent below the previous year's level. After an excellent start and the weaker performance in 2024, the start to the year was in line with expectations. In addition to the lower capacity utilisation of the network of locations, the costs for qualified honorary staff in particular rose at an aboveaverage rate. In addition, costs and investments were made to modernise and further develop the IT environment, which will enable advancing digitalisation and new forms of learning.

* Goodwill amortisation and amortisation of intangible assets from the purchase price allocation / as well as effects from the measurement of the purchase price liability of the non-controlling shareholders in Amadeus Fire Weiterbildung Verwaltungs GmbH

Financial position

Equity amounts to € 156.0 million as at 31 March 2025, up from € 155.0 million as at 31 December 2024. The increase was exclusively due to the net profit for the period of € 1.0 million generated as at 31 March 2025. The equity ratio was 46.5 percent (year-end 2024: 46.9 percent).

There was no significant change in debt in the first three months; the existing revolver line was also utilised as at 31 March 2025 in the amount of € 15.0 million. The leverage ratio increased slightly compared to 31 December 2024 from 1.0 to 1.2 as at the reporting date of 31 March 2025.

Outlook

The economic forecast for Germany remains subdued in view of geopolitical tensions and political uncertainty in the U.S. and Germany, and the forecasts for Germany and the global economy have deteriorated once again.The U.S. economy is weakening and trade conflicts are on the rise. Fiscal easing is planned in Germany, but fiscal policy remains restrictive at first. Early indicators point to stabilisation, but no recovery. GDP growth is expected to be zero in 2025 and 0.9 percent in 2026. A continuing decline is expected in the manufacturing sector, while the construction industry is recovering slightly. Consumption will remain subdued and purchasing capacity will decrease slightly in real terms. Employment will remain stable and unemployment could fall again from mid-2025.

Revenue and earnings in the first quarter correspond to the forecasted start of this year and management's expectations. The negative earnings trend in the first quarter of 2025, particularly in the weak months of January and February, and the persistently negative outlook for corporate sentiment in Germany in 2025 indicate that the operating result for 2025 will continue to fall significantly. The Management Board hereby confirms the forecast made for the current financial year at the end of March 2025. Amadeus Fire AG expects revenue of between € 387 million and € 417 million with an operating EBITA of € 36 million to € 44 million in the financial year 2025. This would imply an average decline in revenue and earnings of around 8 percent and 18 percent respectively for Amadeus Fire AG. The average operating EBITA margin is around 10 percent. Further information can be found in the forecast report in Part B (Combined Management Report) of the 2024 Annual Report.

Macroeconomic distortions may result in a continuing decline in demand. The broad, cross-sector customer base and the related substitution opportunities reduce this risk for the Amadeus Fire Group. The current economic situation remains very tense and is highly unpredictable at present, but harbours various economic risks.

The interim statement as at 31 March 2025 has been neither reviewed nor audited in accordance with Section 317 HGB.

Information on forward-looking statements

This document contains certain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are all statements that do not relate to historical facts or events. These statements can be recognised by formulations such as "expect", "believe", "estimate", "assume", "forecast", "will" or formulations of a similar kind. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, as they relate to future events and are based on current assumptions of the company that may not occur in the future or may not occur as assumed. The company notes that such forward-looking statements do not represent a guarantee for the future; the actual results, including the financial position and profitability of Amadeus Fire AG and the development of the economic and regulatory conditions, may differ materially from (and, in particular, be more negative than) the estimations expressly or implicitly assumed or described in these statements. Even if the actual results of Amadeus Fire AG, including its Financial position and profitability and the economic and regulatory environment, are consistent with the forward-looking statements in this interim report, no guarantee can be given that this will also be the case in the future.

There may be minor discrepancies in the disclosure of amounts or percentage changes due to commercial rounding at various points in this report.

An English translation of this document is also available; in the event of deviations, the German version of the document shall take precedence over the English translation.
