Interim Report Q2 2025

Earnings in line with the last two years except for the historically strong second quarter of 2024

In terms of earnings, we faced his torically strong comparative figures for both ITAB and HMY in the pre ceding year, but with the exception of that, the earnings development during the quarter is in line with the outcome for the last two years. Since HMY became part of the new larger ITAB Group, the integration between the operations has proceeded better than expected. Colleagues in all parts of the Group have begun working together to jointly realise identified synergies. At the same time, we have succeeded in remaining focused on our daily business and our customers. Pro forma for the combined Group, sales increased to MSEK 6,550 and adjusted EBIT amounted to MSEK 388 for the first six months of the year.

3) Summary pro forma combined financial information for the ITAB Group including HMY for the 2025 reporting period (as of January 2025) as well as per quarter and full-year 2024. See Note 8 on page 15 for more information.

Earnings in line with the last two years except for the historically strong second quarter of 2024

Since HMY became part of the new larger ITAB Group on 1 February 2025, the integration between the operations has proceeded better than expected. Colleagues in all parts of the Group have begun working together to jointly realise identified synergies related to purchasing, additional sales and new business opportunities for our customers as well as increased efficiency in our own operations. At the same time, we have succeeded in remaining focused on our daily business and our customers, resulting in sales growth in the beginning of the year – despite a more cautious market in certain geographic regions and customer segments, mainly due to macroeconomic uncertainty. Pro forma for the combined Group (which includes HMY for the full period), currency-adjusted sales increased by 7 percent to MSEK 6,550 for the first six months of the year. In terms of earnings, we faced historically strong comparative figures for both ITAB and HMY in the preceding year, but with the exception of that, the earnings development during the quarter is in line with the outcome for the last two years. Overall, profitability was higher in legacy ITAB than for HMY so far this year, and the intention is to improve profitability in a similar way as we have implemented in recent years before the acquisition. We are now taking measures in several of HMY's operations to strengthen their long-term profitability, which was also part of our plan to realise synergies. During the second quarter, France, in particular, encountered difficulties, and we have seen that several changes that took place before the merger have resulted in operational problems related to inadequate quality and profitability. The measures we have taken so far are also starting to have an impact. Pro forma for the combined Group, adjusted EBIT (operating profit excluding non-recurring items and amortisation of acquisition-related intangible assets) totalled MSEK 388 for the full reporting period. We have a clear plan for realising synergies in the new ITAB Group over the next 2.5 years and look forward to delivering on it.

Colleagues in all parts of the Group have begun working together to realise identified

Continued positive sales trend despite cautious market

The ITAB Group's offering is continuing to attract considerable interest, despite a cautious market in certain geographic regions and customer segments, mainly due to geopolitical turmoil and uncertainty regarding long-term future economic developments. However, demand for our loss prevention solutions and opportunities for increased self-service in stores remains strong, allowing us to present a good return on planned investments. The new joint solution portfolio offers good opportunities for additional sales to our larger customer base, and we are continuing to see good examples of joint sales initiatives, particularly in lighting systems and more technical solutions. Overall, the sales trend for the Group was positive in the first half of the year. For the full reporting period, currency-adjusted net sales increased by approximately 7 percent pro forma to MSEK 6,550. The most significant growth took place in Eastern and Southern Europe. Among our customer groups, we noted the highest sales growth in Grocery and Fashion.

Focus on margin-strengthening measures and increased capital efficiency

The increased sales for the Group as a whole had a positive impact on earnings, despite strong comparative figures for the preceding year. We have identified opportunities to improve the efficiency and profitability for a

number of our operations, including in France, Mexico, Turkey and the UK, where we are now implementing a number of measures. At the same time, the merger with HMY has impacted the product mix and thereby ITAB's historically strong gross margin, with a lower total share of sales of technical solutions during the year. We have also noted that part of the growth to date in 2025 has taken place in customer sectors that are generally more competitive and have less of a focus on value-adding solutions, which also had a negative impact on profitability. Our efforts to coordinate our sales are continuing, and our aim is to once again increase the share of sales of technical and digital solutions and services over time, which will have a positive impact on the margin trend. In parallel, we have also started coordinating our procurement, and we therefore see good opportunities for a stronger earnings performance going forward.

Pro forma for the combined Group, adjusted EBIT (excluding non-recurring items and amortisation of acquisition-related intangible assets) totalled MSEK 388 (485) for the full reporting period. This corresponds to an adjusted EBIT margin of 5.9 percent. The non-recurring items of MSEK -94 pertained to acquisition and integration costs. Reported operating profit (excluding non-recurring items) totalled MSEK 340, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 5.6 percent. Profit after financial items excluding non-recurring items of MSEK -97 totalled MSEK 218.

Cash flow from operating activities for the reporting period, which amounted to MSEK -27 (141), was impacted by higher inventory levels, accounts receivable and accounts payable after the consolidation of HMY. During the period, inventory levels were also built up ahead of planned project roll-outs in the third quarter.

We are continuing to devote considerable focus to capital efficiency. Our capital efficiency target, measured as cash conversion, for the most recent 12-month period amounted to 59 percent (compared with 88 percent in 2024).

Our priorities moving forward

We are continuing to present our joint offering to all of our customers, suppliers and partners. Our solutions help customers improve their operational efficiency, lower their costs and become more competitive while also realising their brand ambitions. To strengthen ITAB's short- and long-term profitability, we are continuously implementing operational improvements, adjusting our cost structure and taking measures to reduce our working capital requirements. At the same time, the integration is proceeding according to plan, and work is under way to realise identified synergies related to purchasing, additional sales and increased efficiency over the next 2.5 years.

The proximity to our customers and our employees' ability to rapidly adapt to external changes have been the key to our success in recent years, and we expect this to continue to play a crucial role in the years ahead. The next phase of our transition to become the leading solution provider in the retail sector is now under way, with the aim to gradually increase the share of services and solutions in Retail Technology and further strengthen our digital offerings. We are developing new capabilities to further streamline operations and make the new, larger ITAB Group more scalable and flexible for the future.

Net sales

Second quarter

The Group's net sales increased by 92 percent to MSEK 3,242 (1,685) in the second quarter of the year. Currency-adjusted sales rose by 96 percent compared to the preceding year, with organic growth accounting for -3 percent and the acquisition of HMY contributing +99 percent.

The sales trend for the new ITAB Group was somewhat cautious during the quarter, mainly driven by continued macroeconomic uncertainty, which could eventually impact customer investment decisions. Compared with the preceding year, the operations also faced strong comparative figures in various geographic markets where a number of major projects were completed. However, the market is continuing to show considerable interest in the Group's technical and digital solutions for loss prevention measures, such as smart gates, self-checkouts and other types of self-service solutions, which strengthens the Group's market position. At the same time, competition is intense, which means that continued sales initiatives are necessary to win new customer projects. During the quarter, an agreement was signed with one of Europe's largest DIY, home improvement and gardening chains for the delivery of solutions for the establishment of five new stores in Italy. From June 2025 until the first quarter of 2026, the total value of the contract is estimated to be at least MEUR 8.

Pro forma for the combined Group, sales increased most in Fashion and Other customer groups during the quarter compared with the preceding year. The strongest sales trend was noted in Southern Europe and the UK, where the Group installed new smart gates in over 200 stores for one of the largest grocery chains in the UK market.

Reporting period

The Group's net sales increased by 86 percent to MSEK 6,061 (3,261) in the first six months of the year. Currency-adjusted sales rose by 89 percent year on year, with organic growth accounting for +3 percent and the acquisition of HMY contributing +86 percent (for five months: February–June).

Overall, the new ITAB Group including HMY delivered a positive sales performance in the first six months of 2025. The Group has signed a number of new agreements with existing and new customers in several geographic markets, some of which pertained to ITAB's technical solutions and lighting systems for HMY's customer base. While the market is continuing to show

Sales by customer group, % of total net sales

considerable interest in the Group's technical and digital solutions for loss prevention measures, sales of customised shop fittings have also trended positively so far this year.

Pro forma for the combined Group, sales have increased most in Grocery and Fashion to date this year compared with the preceding year, although most of the Group's customer groups displayed positive demand. The sales trend was strongest in Eastern and Southern Europe, while Northern Europe and the countries outside Europe faced strong comparative figures from the corresponding period last year.

See Note 8 on page 15 for summary pro forma combined financial information for the ITAB Group including HMY per quarter for 2025 and 2024. Reported sales by customer group and geographic area are shown in Note 3 on page 13.

Earnings

Second quarter

Operating profit for the second quarter amounted to MSEK 120 (150), corresponding to an operating margin of 3.7 percent (8.9). Earnings were impacted by non-recurring items of MSEK -39 (0) pertaining to acquisition and integration costs in conjunction with the acquisition of HMY. Operating profit excluding these non-recurring items totalled MSEK 159 (150), corresponding to an operating margin of 4.9 percent (8.9). EBITDA excluding non-recurring items totalled MSEK 291 (212).

In terms of earnings, the new ITAB Group faced strong comparative figures for both ITAB and HMY in the preceding year. Sales of smart gates and other loss prevention solutions trended positively in the quarter, although the overall customer and product mix with a lower share of sales of technical solutions had a negative impact on the combined gross margin compared with ITAB excluding HMY last year. During the quarter, the Group also initiated a number of measures in France with the aim of reversing the operational and earnings trends, since changes that took place in the French operations before the merger of ITAB and HMY have resulted in operational problems. The Group is also continually carrying out various other sales activities and measures to increase efficiency and implement cost adaptations in several different areas.

Profit after financial items totalled MSEK 48 (143). Earnings were impacted by non-recurring items of MSEK -39 (0) pertaining to acquisition and integration costs. Profit after financial items excluding non-recurring items amounted to MSEK 87 (143). The Group's financial expenses were impacted by higher interest expenses due to increased debt incurred to partially finance the acquisition of HMY and other costs during the quarter pertaining to currency effects and financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies.

Profit after tax amounted to MSEK 21 (97). Earnings per share before and after dilution totalled SEK 0.06 (0.44).

Reporting period

Operating profit for the full reporting period amounted to MSEK 246 (311), corresponding to an operating margin of 4.1 percent (9.5). Earnings were impacted by non-recurring items of MSEK -94 (0) pertaining to acquisition and integration costs in conjunction with the acquisition of HMY. Operating profit excluding these non-recurring items totalled MSEK 340 (311), corresponding to an operating margin of 5.6 percent (9.5). EBITDA excluding non-recurring items totalled MSEK 584 (435).

Compared with the preceding year, the new ITAB Group faced strong comparative figures for both HMY and ITAB, which in 2024 reported its highest-ever operating margin for a first half-year to date. The increase in sales during the first half of the year thus had a positive impact on the earnings trend, although the overall lower share of sales of ITAB's technical solutions for loss prevention measures and self-service had a negative impact on the combined gross margin. During the second quarter, the Group also initiated a number of measures in France with the aim of reversing the operational and earnings trends after a number of operational problems related to inadequate quality and profitability were identified after the merger. As part of the integration of ITAB and HMY, the coordination of purchasing and sales has begun. The Group is continually carrying out various sales activities and measures to increase efficiency and implement cost adaptations in different areas.

Profit after financial items totalled MSEK 121 (284). Earnings were impacted by non-recurring items of MSEK -97 (0) pertaining to acquisition and integration costs and the early repayment of previous bank loans in conjunction with the acquisition of HMY. Profit after financial items excluding these non-recurring items amounted to MSEK 218 (284). The Group's financial expenses were impacted by higher interest expenses due to increased debt incurred to partially finance the acquisition of HMY and other costs during the period pertaining to currency effects and financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies.

Profit after tax amounted to MSEK 62 (200). Earnings per share before and after dilution totalled SEK 0.20 (0.90).

See Note 8 on page 15 for summary pro forma combined financial information for the ITAB Group including HMY per quarter for 2025 and 2024.

Cash flow, financing and liquidity

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to MSEK -53 (77) for the second quarter and MSEK -27 (141) for the full reporting period. Cash flow was impacted by higher inventory levels, accounts receivable and accounts payable after the consolidation of HMY. During the period, inventory levels were also built up ahead of planned project roll-outs in the third quarter. Cash conversion for the past 12-month period amounted to 59 percent.

Net debt on the balance sheet date on 30 June 2025 excluding lease liabilities amounted to MSEK 2,977 (199). Net debt including lease liabilities amounted to MSEK 3,663 (744).

The Group's cash and cash equivalents, including granted unutilised credits, amounted to MSEK 1,274 (1,671) on the balance sheet date on 30 June 2025. The equity/assets ratio was 33 percent (55).

The Group's net investments/divestments in the second quarter amounted to MSEK 58 (38), of which MSEK -1 (-14) was attributable to corporate acquisitions/divestments. For the full reporting period, the Group's net investments amounted to MSEK 1,614 (61), of which MSEK 1,463 (-14) net was attributable to corporate acquisitions/divestments.

Employees

The average number of employees was 5,287 (2,521) for the second quarter and 4,812 (2,525) for the full reporting period.

The Parent Company ITAB Shop Concept AB's operations mainly consist of Group-wide functions. The Parent Company's net sales pertain to revenue from subsidiaries and amounted to MSEK 50 (56) for the second quarter

and MSEK 97 (103) for the reporting period. Profit after financial items totalled MSEK -59 (49) for the quarter and MSEK 4 (36) for the reporting period. Profit includes dividends from subsidiaries of MSEK 30 (58) for the quarter and MSEK 30 (65) for the reporting period as well as impairment of shares and receivables in subsidiaries of MSEK 0 (-4) for both the quarter and the reporting period.

Corporate acquisitions and divestments

On 25 September 2024, ITAB agreed to acquire Financière HMY for a cash consideration of MEUR 320 on a cash and debt free basis. The transaction was conditional upon signing of a final and definitive share purchase agreement, necessary regulatory approvals as well as other customary closing conditions. With a final and definitive share purchase agreement entered into on 5 December 2024 and the other conditions for the transaction fulfilled, the acquisition was completed on 31 January 2025. The purchase consideration was paid in connection with the closing of the transaction. HMY is consolidated in the ITAB Group as of 1 February 2025.

In the second quarter, ITAB acquired the remaining 82 percent of the shares in Signatrix GmbH, a technology and retail AI startup, which thereby became a wholly owned subsidiary, and divested its full participation in the subsidiary La Fortezza Asia Sdn Bhd in Malaysia.

ITAB applies the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU (IFRS® Accounting Standards). This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, relevant sections of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, and the Swedish Corporate Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The accounting policies applied correspond with the accounting policies used in the preparation of the most recent Annual Report.

IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies

Argentina's economy is considered to have been in a state of hyperinflation since 1 July 2018. Following the devaluation of the Argentinian peso in autumn 2023, the financial statements for ITAB's subsidiary in Argentina have been adjusted to correct for the effects of inflation in accordance with IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies. Refer to Note 35 in ITAB's Annual Report for 2024 for further information.

The adjustment for inflation was made in accordance with the Argentinian consumer price index (National CPI). The forecast base consumer price index at 30 June 2025 was 8,714.5. The consumer price adjustment index

at 30 June 2024 was 6,310.6. To hedge monetary assets against inflation, long-term investments have been made in an amount corresponding to MSEK 72. These are recognised at fair value through net financial items in the income statement.

Following the acquisition of HMY, the ITAB Group also includes companies in Turkey. Turkey is considered a hyperinflationary economy and is reported in the same manner as Argentina. Turkey's consumer price index at 30 June 2025 was 3,132.17, and on initial recognition in ITAB on 1 February 2025, the consumer price index was 2,819.65.

NOTE 2 Corporate acquisitions and divestments

Acquisitions in 2025

On 25 September 2024, ITAB agreed to acquire Financière HMY for a cash consideration of MEUR 320 on a cash and debt free basis. HMY is a leading European supplier of shop fittings, checkouts and store design to the retail industry, primarily in Europe, South America and the Middle East. The aim of the acquisition is to strengthen ITAB's position and complement the Group's current offering. The acquisition was financed with a combination of new debt and equity. The transaction was conditional upon signing of a final and definitive share purchase agreement, necessary regulatory approvals as well as other customary closing conditions. With a final and definitive share purchase agreement entered into on 5 December 2024 and the other conditions for the transaction fulfilled, the acquisition was completed on 31 January 2025. The purchase consideration was paid in connection with the closing of the transaction. HMY is consolidated in the ITAB Group as of 1 February 2025. Expenses in connection with the transaction are reported on an ongoing basis as costs in profit or loss and are included in reported non-recurring items.

Effect of the acquisition of the shares in HMY 2025

Preliminary fair values of acquired assets and liabilities, purchase considerations and the impact on the Group's cash and cash equivalents according to preliminary acquisition analyses are presented in the table. Goodwill arising in the transaction primarily comprises the value of expected synergies and the value of the employees. Final payment of the purchase consideration is expected to take place at the end of the third quarter of 2025.

Refer also to Note 8 on page 15 for pro forma combined financial information for the ITAB Group including HMY for 2024.

In May 2025, ITAB acquired the remaining 82 percent of the shares in Signatrix GmbH (see Acquisitions in 2024 below). The company is consolidated in the ITAB Group as of June 2025. The impact on the Group's cash and cash equivalents on the acquisition date was MSEK 0.

Divestments in 2025

In connection with the restructurings in the Group, ITAB sold 100 percent of its shares in the company La Fortezza Asia Sdn Bhd in Malaysia through a subsidiary in April 2025. On the divestment date, the company had seven employees. The effect on earnings including accumulated currency translation differences amounted to MSEK -1 and is recognised as a non-recurring item in the second quarter of 2025. The divestment had an impact of MSEK 1 on cash flow in the quarter.

Acquisitions in 2024

At the start of May 2024, ITAB's Italian subsidiary La Fortezza S.p.A. exercised its right to acquire the minority holding of 19 percent of the shares in its subsidiary Imola Retail Solution S.r.l. in accordance with the original acquisition agreement from October 2020. The purchase consideration for the outstanding minority holding amounted to approximately MEUR 1. The entity approach is applied for acquisitions, which means that all assets and liabilities as well as income and expenses are included in their entirety at the time of the initial acquisition, even for partly owned subsidiaries, and no further goodwill is therefore linked to the acquisition. The difference between valued non-controlling interests prior to acquisition and the purchase consideration is recognised directly in equity attributable to Parent Company shareholders. Cash flow from investing activities in the second quarter was impacted in an amount of MSEK -12.

Cash flow for the second quarter was also impacted by MSEK -23 pertaining to an investment in a minority holding of approximately 18 percent of the shares in Signatrix GmbH, a technology and retail AI startup. Since 2022, Signatrix and ITAB have together created frictionless security deterrents that reduce thefts and shrinkage for the retail sector.

Divestments in 2024

In connection with restructurings in the Group, ITAB sold 100 percent of its shares in the company Nuco Sourcing (HK) Co Ltd in Hong Kong, with a subsidiary in Shenzhen, China, through a subsidiary in December 2024. On the divestment date, the Nuco Group had just over 65 employees. The purchase consideration amounted to MSEK 25. The effect on earnings including accumulated currency translation differences amounted to MSEK -16 and is recognised as a non-recurring item in the fourth quarter. The divestment had an impact of MSEK 15 on cash flow in the fourth quarter.

The Group's Russian subsidiary, ITAB Rus JSC, has been recognised as Discontinued Operations in accordance with IFRS 5 since 2022. The discontinuation of the operations was completed on 27 March 2024 through the divestment of all shares in the subsidiary. The purchase consideration amounted to MSEK 52. Since the Russian company was recognised as Discontinued Operations, only the line item Discontinued Operations in the consolidated income statement was impacted due to this divestment. Cash flow for 2024 was positively impacted in an amount of MSEK 52, of which MSEK 49 in the second quarter and MSEK 3 in the third quarter. For more information, refer to Note 5 in ITAB's Annual Report for 2024.

NOTE 3 Revenue from contracts with customers by customer group and geographic area NOTE 4 Financial assets and liabilities

Revenue recognition takes place when the Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring promised goods and the customer gains control of the asset. This normally takes place on delivery in accordance with applicable delivery terms. In the case of concept sales where a service assignment is included, revenue recognition for the projects takes place over time. The projects are primarily short-term projects.

The largest customer accounts for approximately 9 percent of external sales, and none of the ITAB Group's other customers account for more than 5 percent of external sales.

1) The customer groups are divided according to the industries in which the customers operate. Other customer groups largely consist of distributors, consumer electronics, pharmacies and health/beauty. 2) Southern Europe consists mainly of Italy, France, Spain and Portugal. Northern Europe consists of the Nordic countries. Central Europe's largest markets are Germany, the Netherlands and Czechia. Eastern Europe's largest markets are the Baltic countries, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Turkey. Rest of the World comprises all countries outside Europe, with Australia, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Chile and Peru accounting for just over 50 percent of sales.

ITAB has derivative instruments measured at fair value. The derivative instruments consist of currency derivatives and interest rate derivatives and are used for hedging purposes. These derivative instruments are classified in level 2 in accordance with IFRS 13 and fair value is calculated through discounted future cash flows according to the terms of the contracts and maturity dates, with all variables, such as discount rates and exchange rates, taken from market quotations for calculations.

The fair value of the derivative instruments for hedging purposes is recognised as a change in other comprehensive income. Any ineffectiveness is recognised immediately in net financial items in the income statement. In the first quarter of 2024, a reduction of MSEK 1 in financial expenses was recognised, pertaining to hedges that were deemed ineffective.

The ITAB Group also holds bonds not used for hedging purposes. These are measured at fair value and the change is recognised in net financial items in the income statement.

Carrying amount is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value for all financial assets and liabilities. No financial assets and liabilities have been moved between the valuation categories and the valuation techniques are unchanged during the year. For other information, refer to the latest Annual Report.

NOTE 5 Repurchases of own shares 2023–2024

On 28 September 2023, ITAB initiated a share buyback program with a maximum purchase amount of MSEK 50. The buyback program ran from 29 September 2023 until 22 March 2024, when the maximum amount for share repurchases of MSEK 50 was reached. A total of 3,079,659 ordinary shares were repurchased within the framework of the program, of which 541,748 shares in 2023 and 2,537,911 shares in 2024.

The purpose of the buyback program was to optimise the capital structure with the aim of reducing ITAB's share capital by cancelling repurchased ordinary shares. In accordance with the Annual General Meeting's (AGM) decision on 15 May 2024, the share capital was subsequently reduced by SEK 1,284,218 through the cancellation of 3,079,659 repurchased ordinary shares. In order to restore the share capital, the AGM simultaneously resolved to increase the company's share capital by SEK 1,284,218 through a bonus issue without issuing new shares by transferring the amount from the company's non-restricted equity. Following the cancellation of ordinary shares and the bonus issue, the company's restricted equity and share capital were unchanged.

NOTE 6 Share incentive program, directed share issue and number of shares after dilution

Share incentive program

The 2022 Annual General Meeting (AGM) resolved on a long-term incentive program for key individuals (LTIP 2022) extending from June 2022 until June 2025. The program ended in the second quarter of 2025. As a result, 2,054,985 Class C shares were converted to ordinary shares, and 1,043,671 ordinary shares were thereafter conveyed to the participants and the remaining 1,011,314 ordinary shares were conveyed on Nasdaq Stockholm to cover part of the costs for the program.

The 2025 AGM resolved on a new long-term incentive program for key individuals (LTIP 2025) that will implemented during the year. However, the ITAB Group had no long-term incentive programs outstanding as of 30 June 2025.

The Group and the Parent Company recognised LTIP 2022 in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based Payment. For information about LTIP 2022, see Note 8 of ITAB's Annual Report for 2024.

Directed share issue

On 26 September 2024, ITAB's Board of Directors resolved to carry out a directed share issue of a total of 38,200,000 ordinary shares at a subscription price of SEK 22.70 per share, whereby ITAB raised approximately MSEK 867 before transaction costs. The subscription price corresponded to a discount of approximately 9.9 percent in relation to the closing price of the ITAB share on Nasdaq Stockholm on 25 September 2024 and was determined through an accelerated bookbuilding procedure. The issue was oversubscribed and a large number of Swedish and international institutional investors participated in the directed share issue including Handelsbanken Funds, Nordea Funds, Third AP Fund, Fourth AP Fund and Alcur, as well as certain existing shareholders. The purpose of the directed share issue was to partly finance the acquisition of HMY, along with securing new long-term credit facilities.

24,719,827 of the newly issued shares were issued based on the Board's authorisation from the AGM held on 15 May 2024 and the remaining 13,480,173 shares were issued following subsequent approval at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 21 October 2024. As of 31 December 2024, a total of MSEK 831 had been provided to the company in issue proceeds after transaction costs, of which MSEK 16 is share capital.

Holding of own shares in treasury

At 30 June 2025, ITAB held no ordinary shares in treasury. All 2,345,015 Class C shares were held in treasury.

Earnings per share
after dilution
Net profit for the period attributable to Parent Company shareholders in relation to the average number of ordinary shares outstanding
after dilution. For calculation of earnings per share after dilution, the average number of shares is adjusted taking into account the
effects of dilutive potential ordinary shares, which, during the reporting periods in question, comprised rights to receive shares in ITAB
within the framework of the LTIP 2022 long-term incentive program. Matching share rights held by employees as of the reporting date are
considered dilutive. Moreover, the right to receive shares with performance conditions is dilutive only to the extent that set performance
targets are met as of the reporting date. Adjustment of the number of dilutive shares is based on the hypothetical number of shares that
could have been purchased with the value of remaining positions within the framework of the incentive program.
