Improved EBITA margin and growing order backlog

Through our continued project selection, the EBITA margin improved in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. We report satisfactory earnings in Denmark, where developments are going as planned, and I expect a continuing gradual improvement going forward. Although demand in the Nordic market remains low, I note that market activities are improving in several locations and interesting customer dialogues are ongoing. The order backlog increased in Norway and Denmark during the quarter.

Net sales and EBITA

I am pleased that we, in a challenging market have increased both our margin and our earnings despite lower sales. Important factors for the margin development are our focus on margin before volume and the current project mix. Additional factors include our focus on restrictive project selection, cost control and pricing, as well as efficient production.

Over the past year, our restrictive project selection has resulted in lower sales for both service and installation. However, this is a priority we are pleased to have, in order to be able to maintain the necessary balance between a focus on profitability and risk exposure. The variation in the market between different geographic areas is significant. Demand remains weak in the southern parts of Sweden and in the Finnish market, but also in other local markets. We continuously adapt our resources to the current market situation.

The order backlog increased by almost SEK 1.3bn during the quarter, driven by a strong order intake in Denmark. The order backlog points to a stable installation volume in the coming quarters.

The weak market situation in southern Sweden continues to have a negative impact on sales and profitability in the Swedish business. The business in southern Sweden lost 18 percent of its volume compared to the second quarter of 2024, corresponding to approximately SEK 230 million. Adjustments made to the organisation in southern Sweden have stabilised the EBITA margin, which is still at a low level. Other business operations in Sweden are stable.

The Norwegian operations improved its project margins, which resulted in an improved EBITA margin. Organic growth was negative, as we had high production in a number of large projects in 2024. The project market in Norway remains challenging and it is important to keep adhering to our strategy of margin before volume.

The Danish operations continues to develop in a positive direction. During the quarter, profitability improved significantly; this is in line with my previously communicated expectations. I expect a continuous improvement in profitability in the coming quarters, as new orders have good margins and sales from old loss-making projects are gradually decreasing. My assessment is that we will increase the EBITA margin close to 5 percent in 2025.

The Finnish operations experienced a decrease of 15 percent in sales, but despite this decrease we managed to achieve acceptable profitability by adapting the organisation and costs to the current market situation.

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities and cash conversion declined. This was mainly due to an increase in accrued but not yet billed revenue in a large infrastructure project with a public sector client. The agreement with the customer stipulates that certain

milestones have to be reached before invoicing can take place, and I expect this will occur in the second half of 2025.

Acquisitions

During the quarter, one acquisition was completed, which added annual sales of approximately SEK 346 million; at the beginning of the third quarter another acquisition was completed and this added annual sales of approximately SEK 45 million.

As always, we focus on selecting the right acquisition candidates, which have a suitable culture and create value for Bravida. At present, identifying good acquisition targets is difficult, due to the weak and uncertain market conditions, but I want to emphasise that interesting acquisition discussions are ongoing continuously.

Sustainability

At Bravida, we take a long-term approach to sustainability in order to be a preferred supplier to our customers, an attractive employer and a leading stakeholder in the industry. I am very proud of the dedicated work we are putting into reducing workplace injuries is paying off. The LTIFR improved to 5.2, which is better than our current target of 5.5. The electrification of our vehicle fleet is reducing our own carbon footprint, and during the last 12 months we have reduced emissions from our vehicles by 15 percent, and by 40 percent from 2020 in relation to sales.

Outlook

For Bravida, I believe that the demand for service will remain stable. The installation volume will gradually improve, and benefit from a need for renovations, and investments in infrastructure, electrification and defence facilities. I have noticed a significantly better activity in the market, with more enquiries and interesting discussions, not least relating to infrastructure. However, there are considerable geographical differences in the demand for installation work relating to new builds. The markets in southern Sweden and Finland are still weak, whereas the market situation in the rest of Sweden, Denmark and Norway is generally stable, but with considerable geographical differences. We generally expect a continuing uncertain and hesitant market in 2025, impacted by the weak construction market and increased uncertainty in the world in general. For 2026 – 2027, the outlook is brighter, with increased demand for installation in new builds and renovation projects, according to third-party forecasts.

Consolidated earnings overview

Nordic market outlook

The market forecasts provided below for the service and installation market in the Nordic region for the technology areas electricity, heating, plumbing and ventilation are a summary of third-party forecasts that were updated in the second quarter of 2025. Installation and service within industry and facilities are not included.

The service and maintenance sales volume in the Nordics remains stable and third-party forecasts predict continued volume growth in 2025, 2026 and 2027, with annual growth of around 1 percent.

Installation volumes decreased significantly in the years 2023–2024 in Bravida's Nordic markets. The forecast for the volume in 2025 indicates a stabilisation with a slight increase. For 2026, forecasts are suggesting volume growth of around 7 percent. For 2027, forecasts indicate an increase in installation volume of around 4 percent. However, there are significant geographical differences.

Shareholder information

Bravida Holding AB's ordinary shares are listed on the Nasdaq Stockholm Large Cap list. The five largest shareholders were Swedbank Robur Funds, Handelsbanken Funds, SEB Funds, the Fourth Swedish National Pension Fund (AP4) and Mawer Investment Management.

The share price on 30 June was SEK 95.15, which corresponds to a market capitalisation of SEK 19,466 million based on the number of ordinary shares. Total shareholder return over the past 12 months was 25.8 percent. The share capital totals SEK 4 million, divided among 206,356,598 shares, of which 204,578,271 are ordinary shares and 1,778,327 are class C shares, which are held by Bravida Holding AB. Ordinary shares entitle holders to one vote and a dividend payment, while C shares entitle holders to one-tenth of a vote and no dividend.

Significant risks

Changes in market conditions, financial concerns and political decisions are the external factors that mainly affect demand for new construction of housing and commercial property, as well as investment from industry and the public sector. Demand for service and maintenance is less sensitive to economic fluctuations.

Operating risks are related to day-to-day business operations such as tendering, price risks, capacity utilisation and revenue recognition. The management of these risks is part of Bravida's business process. Recognition over time is applied and is based on the degree of completion of each project and the expected date of completion. A well-developed process for the monitoring of projects is essential for limiting the risk of incorrect revenue recognition. Bravida continually monitors the financial status of each project to ensure that individual project calculations are not exceeded.

The Group is also exposed to write-down risks in fixed-price contracts and various types of financial risk such as currency, interest rate and credit risks.

Transactions with related parties

No transactions with related parties outside the Group took place during the period.

Other events occurring during the period

• The Annual General Meeting, held on 29 April:

Passed a resolution to re-elect Fredrik Arp, Cecilia Daun Wennborg, Jan Johansson, Marie Nygren, Tero Kiviniemi and Karin Stålhandske as members of the Board of Directors.

The following Board proposals were approved:

  • − Adoption of the proposed dividend of SEK 3.75 per share
  • − Adoption of a long-term incentive programme aimed at senior executives and other key personnel in the Bravida Group
  • − Authorisation of the Board to take decisions regarding a new issue of class C shares
  • − Authorisation of the Board to take decisions regarding the buyback of class C shares and the transfer of treasury shares
  • Petra Vranjes started as the new Group CFO in May. She also joined the Group Management team.
  • In May, the Board took the decision to convert 106,000 class C shares into ordinary shares for allocation to participants in the 2022 long-term incentive programme.
  • Örnsköldsvik Municipality reported Bravida to the police on 19 May and cancelled the existing contracts. On 1 July, the police announced that they are not initiating an investigation, which was the expected outcome. Bravida notes that the report from the municipality's external

investigator, Decimalen, has some deficiencies and probably did not include full anchoring with the units at the municipality that ordered materials and subcontractors from Bravida and approved them continuously for several years via itemised invoices.

Bravida would like to emphasise following:

  • − Supplier choices have been made by Örnsköldsvik Municipality.
  • − Materials have been ordered in consultation with Örnsköldsvik Municipality.
  • − Pricing is in line with the relevant contracts.

Bravida cherish our customer relationships and working to reach a suitable solution with Örnsköldsvik Municipality.

Events since the end of the period

• On 1 July, Bravida Finland took over the acquired company TS Sähkötekniikka Oy, which works with electrical installation and service. That company has sales of approximately SEK 45 million and 12 employees.

These financial measures should therefore be regarded as complementary rather than replacing the measures defined under IFRS. See page 21 for definitions of key indicators.

NOTE 1. Accounting policies

This is a translation of the Swedish Interim Report of Bravida Holding AB. In the event of inconsistency between the English and the Swedish versions, the Swedish version shall prevail.

This interim report for the Group has been prepared in accordance with International Reporting Standards (IFRS) using IAS 34 Interim Reporting. The parent company applies Recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities and Chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding interim reports. The accounting policies applied are consistent with what is set out in the 2024 Annual Report.

The IASB has published supplements to standards that apply from 1 January 2025 or later. Such supplements have not had any material impact on Bravida's financial statements.

All amounts in this Interim Report are stated in millions of Swedish kronor (SEK), unless specified otherwise, and rounding differences may therefore occur.

Bravida has some defined-benefit pension plans, for which the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions, including pension indexation, are difficult to estimate with a reasonable degree of reliability. Reported pension obligations amount to SEK 257 million. The overall judgement made indicates that the effects are not significant with regard to assessing the Group's financial position and performance. Effects for defined benefit pensions that are recognised in other comprehensive income have therefore not been estimated in this Interim Report. The pension liability will be determined using an actuarial calculation in the end-of-year accounts latest as at 31 December 2025.

NOTE 3. Acquisition of operations

Bravida made the following acquisitions in January – June:

Acquired unit Country Technical area Art Date Percentage
of votes
Employees Estimated annual
sales, million SEK
Contub AB Sweden Industrial piping Company June 100% 38 346

In Denmark, the remaining 40 percent of the shares in Viva Energi AS have been acquired in March the, which now means 100 percent ownership of the company. In Finland, the remaining 20 percent of the shares in Savon Aurinkoenergia Oy have been acquired in June, which now means 100 percent ownership of the company.

Effects of acquisitions in 2025

Bravida normally uses an acquisition structure with a fixed purchase price and contingent consideration. The contingent consideration is initially valued at the likely final amount, which for the year's acquisitions is SEK 60 million. The contingent considerations are due for payment within three to five years. The acquisitions are reported in aggregate form in the table below as individually they are not of sufficient size to justify separate recognition of each acquisition.

The transaction of the remaining shares in Viva Energi AS and Savon Aurinkoenergia Oy is reported in cash flow within financing activities, in accordance with IAS 7 Statement of cash flow, as the acquisition relates to shares in a company that is already a subsidiary.

Acquisitions of subsidiaries and operations are generally reported in the cash flow statement within investing activities. Acquisitions of subsidiaries and operations are reported net and include cash settled purchase prices for the year's acquisitions, cash settlement of debt-recorded purchase prices for previously made acquisitions and acquired cash and cash equivalents.

Acquisitions after the end of the reporting period

In July, the acquisition of TS Sähkötekniikka Oy, with 12 employees and annual sales of approximately SEK 45 million, was completed in Finland.

NOTE 4. Seasonal variations

Bravida's business is affected by seasonal variations in the construction industry and employees' annual holiday. Bravida usually has a lower level of activity in the third quarter as it is the main holiday period. The fourth quarter normally has the highest earnings because a lot of projects are completed during that period.

Definitions

Financial definitions

Return on equity

12-month rolling net profit/loss as a percentage of average equity.

EBITA*

Operating profit before amortisation and write downs of non-current intangible assets. EBITA is the key indicator and performance metric used for internal operational monitoring. EBITA provides an overall view of profit generated by operating activities.

EBITA margin*

EBITA expressed as a percentage of net sales.

EBITDA*

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation. EBITDA is a measure that the Group regards as relevant for investors who want to understand earnings generation before investments in non-current assets.

Equity per share, SEK

Equity attributable to shareholders of the parent company divided by the number of ordinary shares outstanding at period end.

Net financial items

Total exchange differences on borrowing and cash and cash equivalents in foreign currency, other financial revenue and other finance costs.

Average number of employees

Calculated as the average number of employees during the year, taking account of the percentage of full-time employment.

Capital structure

(Net debt/EBITDA) Net debt divided by EBITDA, based on a rolling 12-month calculation. A healthy capital structure provides a solid basis for continued business operations. The capital structure should enable a high degree of financial flexibility and provide scope for acquisitions.

Cash conversion*

Cash conversion, 12 months. Cash flow from operating activities adjusted for tax payments, net financial items and investments in machinery and equipment in relation to EBITDA.

This key indicator measures the share of profit converted into cash flow. The purpose is to analyse what percentage of earnings can be converted into cash and cash equivalents and, in the longer term, the opportunity for investments, acquisitions and dividends, with the exception of interest-related cash flows.

Net sales

Net sales are recognised according to the principle of accounting over time, previous revenues are recognised as the projects are completed.

Net debt*

Interest-bearing liabilities, (including lease liabilities, excluding pension liabilities) less cash and cash equivalents. This key indicator is a measure to show the Group's total interest-bearing debt.

Order intake

The value of new projects and contracts received, and changes in existing projects and contracts over the period in question. Includes both the installation business and the service business.

Order backlog

The value of remaining, not yet accrued project revenues from orders on hand at the end of the period. The order backlog does not include service operations, only installation projects.

Organic growth

The change in sales adjusted for currency effects, as well as acquisitions and disposals compared with the same period in the previous year. Sales from acquisitions and divestments are eliminated for a period of 12 months from the date of acquisition or divestment.

Diluted earnings per share

Profit/loss for the period attributable to shareholders of the parent company divided by the average number of outstanding ordinary shares after dilution.

Basic earnings per share

Profit/loss for the period attributable to shareholders of the parent company divided by the average number of outstanding ordinary shares.

Interest coverage ratio*

Profit/loss after financial items plus interest expense, divided by interest expense. This key indicator is a measure of by how much earnings can fall without interest payments being jeopardised or by how much interest on borrowing can increase without operating profit turning negative.

Working capital*

Total current assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents, minus current liabilities excluding current provisions and interest-bearing short-term loans. This key indicator shows how much working capital is tied up in the business and may be set in relation to sales to understand how efficiently tied-up working capital is being used.

Operating margin

Operating profit/loss as a percentage of net sales.

Operating profit/EBIT

Earnings before net financial items and tax.

Equity/assets ratio

Equity including non-controlling interests as a percentage of total assets.

* See page 16 for reconciliation of key indicators.
