COMMENTS BY THE CEO

Vestum continues to generate organic growth and solid cash flows. In the second quarter, organic growth reached 4%, while free cash flow increased by over SEK 50 million. Profitability is in line with previous year but varies somewhat across the Group. In general, we see stable underlying demand in our product companies, while the services companies continue to face a challenging market. During the quarter, we have invested in both organic and acquisitive growth. For example, we have expanded capacity in several production companies by moving to larger facilities, consequently increasing lease liabilities. Leverage, expressed as financial net debt in relation to reported EBITDA, rose to 2.65x due to these investments.

Stable development in Flow Technology and Niche Products

The Flow Technology segment continues to perform well with sales growth of 32%, mainly driven by acquired growth. Profitability, measured as EBITA margin, declined slightly to 19.4% from 21.3%. In Scandinavia, we are generating volume growth and improved margins in all countries, driven by strong underlying demand. In the UK, which accounts for 60% of the segment's sales, the market is preparing for the five-year investment plan AMP8, which came into effect in April 2025. Over £100 billion is expected to be invested in water infrastructure, doubling the amount of its predecessor. However, during the upgrade

phase the market is somewhat cautious, which is visible across the value chain. This, combined with the absence of extreme weather, negatively impacted volume and margin during the quarter. Our position in the UK market remains very strong, and we are confident that the segment will continue to develop positively. We also plan to make additional acquisitions in the UK during the second half of 2025 to further strengthen our position ahead of the significant investments in the coming years.

In the Niche Products segment, volume developed in line with previous year, while the margin improved from 11.6% to 12.4%. We remain focused on strengthening profitability in the segment but will also invest in organic growth in areas where we can achieve the highest return on capital.

In the Solutions segment, we have divested several companies during the year, including the largest and third-largest company, meaning that sales in absolute terms decreased. However, organic growth in the segment was positive for the second consecutive quarter. Profitability, measured as EBITA margin, decreased from 7.3% to 5.0%, driven by our installation businesses exposed to the construction industry. The market is expected to recover as construction investments rise from historically low levels. The remaining part of the segment, accounting for 40% of sales and consisting of niched infrastructure services businesses, collectively generated a doubledigit EBITA margin during the quarter. Focus

remains on improving profitability in the segment.

Cash flow is growing as expected, and we see clear positive effects from the improved capital structure established earlier this year. This is reflected in lower financing costs of over SEK 30 million in the quarter. We have created good conditions for free cash flow to continue to grow going forward.

Outlook

Today, half of Vestum's sales come from businesses that remain strong regardless of the economic cycle, as seen in the Flow Technology segment. We regard the market outlook as very positive in the coming years for this segment, especially in the UK, and look forward to making additional acquisitions. It is encouraging that we are delivering organic growth for the second consecutive quarter, but we also acknowledge that part of the Group is exposed to the Scandinavian construction industry which remains at historically low levels in terms of volume and margin. As construction investments increase in the region, sales and profitability will strengthen for the Group. Vestum will continue to allocate capital to growth through both organic initiatives and acquisitions where we see strong market growth and high return on capital.

THE VESTUM GROUP´S DEVELOPMENT

Comments on the Vestum Group´s development refer to the remaining operations unless otherwise is stated.

Net sales

Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 1,012 (1,083) million, which is a decrease of 7% com pared to the same quarter of the previous year. Organically, sales increased by 4%. Acquired and divested sales contributed to a decrease of 9%. Exchange rate effects had a negative impact on the quarter of SEK 12 million.

For the period January–June 2025, the Group´s net sales amounted to SEK 1,912 (2,074) million. The decrease relates to acquired and divested net sales of -11% as well as organic growth of 4%. Exchange rate effects had a negative impact of SEK 11 million.

Seasonality

Vestum´s activities are affected by seasonality due to weather conditions and number of working days. The Group´s diversified struc ture, regarding both market offering and geographical presence, limits exposure to seasonality to some extent.

Earnings

Profit before amortisation and write -down of acquired surplus value (EBITA) for the quarter amounted to SEK 96 (114) million, which corre sponds to an EBITA margin of 9.5% (10.5%). Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 102 (111) million, which corresponds to an adjusted EBITA margin of 10.1% (10.3%). Operating proft (EBIT) amounted to SEK 24 (44) million.

Extraordinary items that are adjusted in EBITA had a negative impact on the quarter by SEK -6 (3) million. These consisted of acquisition--

related transaction costs and one -off items. Net financials for the quarter amounted to SEK -32 (-51) million, of which interest expenses for loans and leasing amounted to SEK 22 (44) million. The change in the net financial result is explained by reduced interest expenses, offset by increased foreign exchange losses and decreased interest income. The profit for the quarter for the remaining operations amounted to SEK -22 ( -16) million, correspond ing to profit per share attributable to remaining operations and the parent company's share holders before and after dilution of SEK -0.06 ( -0.04).

Profit before amortisation and write -down of acquired surplus value (EBITA) for January -June 2025 amounted to SEK 170 (181) million, which corresponds to an EBITA margin of 8.9% (8.7%). Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 180 (193) million and operating profit (EBIT) amounted to SEK 31 (42) million. Net financials amounted to SEK -84 ( -98) million, of which interest expenses for loans and leasing amounted to SEK 50 (93) million. The period´s profit for remaining operations amounted to SEK -62 ( -59) million, corresponding to profit per share attributable to remaining operations and the parent company's shareholders before and after dilution of SEK -0.17 ( -0.16).

Extraordinary items that are adjusted in EBITA affected the period January–June 2025 nega tively by SEK -10 ( -11) million. These consisted of acquisition -related transaction costs of SEK -4 million and one -off items of SEK -6 million.

Net sales per segment, Q2 2025

Cash flow from operating activities during the quarter amounted to SEK 79 (31) million, of which changes in working capital amounted to SEK -7 (-22) million. The operating cash flow amounted to SEK 115 (121) million, corresponding to a cash conversion rate of 82% (75%). For the period January-June 2025, the cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 99 (168) million, changes in working capital amounted to SEK -42 (37) million and the operating cash flow amounts to SEK 175 (286) million, which corresponds to a cash conversion of 68% (105%).

The Group's working capital varies over the quarters, primarily due to fluctuations in items such as work in progress, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The change in working capital during the quarter was mainly driven by increased accounts receivables which is offset by increased other operating liabilities.

Investments

The Group´s investments in fixed assets during the second quarter excluding acquisitions amounted to SEK 18 (17) million and SEK 41 (23) million for the period January-June 2025. Paid and revalued contingent consideration for previous years´ acquisitions amounted to SEK 0 (113) million in the second quarter. Paid contingent consideration amounted to SEK 1 (124) million in January-June 2025.

Financial position and liquidity

Equity at the end of the period amounted to SEK 3,754 (3,930) million.

The Group´s cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 87 (174) million.

Interest-bearing liabilities, including lease liabilities, amounted to SEK 1,773 (2,141) million.

SEGMENT FLOW TECHNOLOGY

The Flow Technology segment offers market-leading niche products focused on improving water infrastructure and enabling the efficiency of energy and water consumption.

Our market

Customers in this segment include public clients in need of advanced water pumping for various infrastructure facilities such as sewage systems and water supply, property owners and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) operators in need of water distribution and wastewater management, and industrial companies requiring filters, pumps, and irrigation systems for various applications. The segment offers product sales of pumps, irrigation systems, filters, moisture protection, measurement technol ogy, pipe systems and other flow technology products.

By offering pumps and irrigation systems that reduce customers' energy consumption and water usage, Vestum contributes to reducing climate impact and promoting a more sustainable societal development.

Development during the period

Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 341 (258) million and net sales for the period Janu ary - June amounted to SEK 630 (514) million.

Adjusted EBITA for the quarter amounted to SEK 66 (55) million, corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 19.4% (21.3%). Adjusted EBITA for the period January - June amounted to SEK 119 (106) million, correspond ing to an adjusted EBITA margin of 18.8% (20.7%).

The second quarter shows an increase in reve nue compared to the same period last year, primarily driven by acquired growth through the British companies PDAS and Nortech. Within the segment, we continue to see solid underlying demand across all markets, and our Scandinavian operations are generating growing volumes and strengthened margins.

Q2 2024

258

Despite this, we note a slightly lower margin for the segment as a whole, which can mainly be attributed to a more cautious market in the UK during the quarter. This is linked to the launch of the AMP8 investment plan, which came into effect in April 2025 and has not yet had full impact on the market.

Looking ahead, we see significant potential for the AMP8 plan to contribute positively to both volume and margin development for our British operations. Overall, we assess that the segment is well positioned for continued growth and improved profitability going forward.

We expect to carry out further acquisitions within the segment in the future, particularly in the UK.

2025 SEGMENT NICHE PRODUCTS

The Niche Products segment consists of leading product companies in selected technology niches characterised by high structural growth.

Our market

The product offering mainly consists of safety systems, containers and fasteners. End cus tomers include private and public property owners in need of adaptation to meet increased environmental and accessibility requirements, as well as public and private clients in need of products that reduce energy consumption and climate impact.

Development during the period

Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 187 (190) million and net sales for the period Janu ary - June amounted to SEK 356 (360) million.

Adjusted EBITA for the quarter amounted to SEK 23 (22) million, corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 12.4% (11.6%).

During the second quarter, volume develop ment remained stable and in line with the same period last year. At the same time, profitability improved, partly due to a more favorable market environment, a beneficial product mix, and a consistent focus on cost efficiency within the segment.

Looking ahead, we will continue to prioritize profitability in the segment and see a positive market trend that creates favorable condi tions for further growth.

SEGMENT SOLUTIONS

The Solutions segment offers specialised solutions for maintaining, developing and streamlining properties and transport networks.

Our market

The offering consists of renovation of concrete structures, solutions regarding sealing layer and technical insulation as well as other installation services. End customers are both public and private entities investing in and maintaining properties and various parts of the infrastructure such as perimeter security and wastewater systems.

Development during the period

Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 486 (638) million and net sales for the period January - June amounted to SEK 928 (1,206) million.

Adjusted EBITA for the quarter amounted to SEK 25 (47) million, corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 5.0% (7.3%).

Adjusted EBITA for the period January - June amounted to SEK 46 (72) million, corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 4.9% (5.9%).

The second quarter shows a lower volume compared to the same period last year, entirely attributable to the divestment of several operations within the segment earlier this year. The performance of the remaining operations remains solid, and for the second consecutive quarter, we are seeing positive organic growth.

We observe steady demand in the service and maintenance market, along with a slight increase in the renovation and refurbishment (ROT) sector during the quarter. At the same time, the installation market continues to face

Q2 2024

638

pricing pressure, primarily due to the lack of new construction activity in the building industry. This has led to lower margins for our operations exposed to the construction sector.

In contrast, our specialized infrastructure services have shown solid performance, achieving a double-digit EBITA margin during the quarter.

Looking ahead, we remain highly focused on improving profitability within the segment, which is also expected to benefit from increased investment in the construction industry going forward.

SEGMENT REPORTING

Vestum divides its operations into three segments: Flow Technology, Niche Products and Solutions. These three segments complement each other, both over a business cycle and seasonally.

The tables below only include the financial outcome for the periods in which each portfolio company was part of the Vestum Group. The segments have been recalculated in accordance with IFRS 5, to describe the remaining operations.

Cost for Group functions refers to group management, IT, legal, M&A and group finance functions. Costs related to operating group functions, such as division managers and business control, have been distributed to each segment.

All segments recognise revenue both at a point in time and over time.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Accounting principles

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the interpretations provided by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) that have been adopted by the European Commission for use within the EU. The standards and interpretations applied are those adopted by the EU. The Group´s interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and RFR 1, Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups. The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities. The interim report uses the same accounting principles and valuation methods as were used in the annual report for 2024.

Amounts in tables and calculations can be rounded, which means the stated total amounts are not always an exact sum of the rounded individual amounts.

From January 1, 2025, other standards, amendments and interpretations of existing standards that have not yet entered into force or been published by the IASB have also not been applied by the Group.

IFRS 5 - Discontinued operations

During 2024, a number of divestments were carried out. The income statement and cash flow statement for these companies are reported as discontinued operations in accordance with IFRS 5. The balance sheet for these companies is reported as Assets held for sale and Liabilities related to assets held for sale, in accordance with IFRS 5.

Due to the above, Vestum has recalculated the comparative figures regarding the income statement and cash flow statement. The balance sheet is not recalculated but reflects the businesses that were held for sale at respective balance sheet date.

Financial assets and liabilities

Contingent consideration that is valued at fair value in the balance sheet amounts to SEK 32 (19) million and is classified in level 3 according to the fair value hierarchy. The section Acquisitions presents how fair value is determined. Revaluation of the contingent consideration recorded in operating profit had an effect on the quarter´s result of SEK 0 (3) million. Financial assets in the form of noncurrent securities holdings valued at fair value in the balance sheet are classified in level 1 according to the fair value hierarchy. The non-current securities holdings amount to SEK 3 (3) million. Financial assets/liabilities related to derivatives that are measured at fair value in the balance sheet are classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The derivative instruments amount to SEK -2 (0) million. For assets and liabilities reported at amortised cost, the carrying value corresponds to its fair value since the interest rate is at par with current market interest rates, or because the item is short term.

Risks and uncertainties

Vestum´s main risk factors consist of market risks such as changes in the macro economic environment and/or the current competitive situation. In addition, the Group is exposed to operational risks such as project, customer and quality risks. The Group is also exposed to financial risks such as currency, interest rate, counter-party and credit risks.

Increased tariffs and other trade barriers in markets where Vestum operates are not expected to have any material direct impact on the group, but may indirectly affect Vestum's operations.

The Group´s interest-bearing liabilities are to some extent exposed to floating interest rates. Increased policy interest rates affect Vestum´s floating interest rates. Vestum strives to, at all times, have a structured and efficient management of financial risks in accordance with the Group´s finance policy.

The Parent company is affected by the above risks and uncertainties through its function as owner of the Group´s subsidiaries. For more information on Vestum´s risks and risk management please refer to the Annual report for 2024. Vestum's risks and risk management have remained unchanged during the year.

Related party transactions

During the quarter, there were no transactions between Vestum and related parties that had significant impact on the Group´s financial position or earnings.

For more information on related parties, refer to the annual report for 2024, note 27, and the Q1 2025 interim report.

Incentive program

Vestum has three incentive programs corresponding to a total of 7,067,000 warrants. The warrant programs are aimed at senior executives and key people in the Group and the portfolio companies. The warrants have been transferred on market terms at a price that was established based on an estimated market value calculated by an independent valuation institute.

Contingent consideration

In accordance with agreements on contingent considerations, the Group must pay cash compensation linked to future earnings. The maximum non-discounted amount that may be paid to previous owners amounts to SEK 53 million. The likely outcome of the contingent consideration is based on the Group´s forecast of future development and earnings in each entity. Total contingent consideration liability amounts to SEK 32 million. During 2025, contingent consideration of SEK 1 million was paid. Paid and revalued contingent

consideration had an impact of SEK 0 (3) million on the year to date result, which is reported as Other operating income and Other operating expenses in the income statement. The current part of the liability amounts to SEK 20 million and the likely timing for settlement is the second quarter of 2026. The fair value of the contingent consideration is at level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Contingent consideration liabilities are reported as Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in the balance sheet.

RECONCILIATION OF ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES

Vestum presents a number of performance measures that are not defined in accordance with IFRS. The Company considers these measures to provide valuable supplementary

information to investors and the management as they allow an evaluation of trends and performance. As not all companies calculate these measures in the same way, they are not

always comparable with those used by other companies. These financial measures should therefore be seen as a complement to the measures defined according to IFRS. Reconciliation of these measures is presented below. For definitions of performance measures, see previous page.
