"Resilient underlying profitability despite currency headwinds and lower revenues in a more uncertain market environment."

CEO's comment

Market conditions

The mixed market conditions continued during the quarter, and the advantages of our broad exposure were clear. Activity levels remained high in the Oil and Gas and Nuclear segments in the Tube division and in the Medical segment in the Kanthal division. Demand in the Strip division leveled off somewhat compared with the preceding quarter, but is still at a favorable level.

The market conditions in other customer segments were generally hesitant, driven by higher uncertainty resulting from trade policy turbulence. This was particularly noticeable in the project-related parts of our business, with customers being cautious about making major investment decisions. In the Tube division, demand was generally lower in the Chemical and Petrochemical and Industrial segments, with the largest decline in Europe. Demand in the Industrial Heating segment in Kanthal remained at a low level.

Order intake for the rolling 12-month period amounted to SEK 18,911 million (20,135) and organic growth was -2%.

Resilient underlying profitability

Revenues declined organically by 4% during the quarter to SEK 4,765 million (5,359). These lower revenues were mainly related to the short-cycle and low-refined business, in the Industrial segment and the Chemical and Petrochemical segment in the Tube division. Lower revenues for the Industrial Heating segment in Kanthal also added to this development.

Adjusted EBIT amounted to SEK 454 million (592), corresponding to a margin of 9.5% (11.1), and included currency headwinds of SEK -115 million compared with the year-earlier period. The EBIT margin excluding currency effects amounted to 11.4%, thereby demonstrating resilience despite lower revenues.

Free operating cash flow amounted to SEK 347 million (486), impacted by lower operating profit and higher growth investments.

Negligible direct impact from tariffs and trade barriers

We have local production in our largest regions for most of our businesses, including the US. We were successful at passing on the cost of tariffs to our customers, which meant that we did not note any significant negative direct impact from import tariffs to the US. However, we did see a greater impact on the global economy and demand resulting from delayed investment decisions among some customers, as described above.

Planned maintenance stoppage during the summer

We usually carry out planned maintenance stoppages in our production in the third quarter. This summer, we will replace our expansion press and the stoppage will therefore be longer than normal at one of the largest production sites in Sandviken. The new press has a higher degree of automation and will, among other things, increase productivity and improve safety for the operators.

Continued investments and adjustments

Moving forward, we need to remain agile in order to maintain a solid level of profitability in a turbulent market. We are making the necessary adjustments, while being mindful of the long-term growth opportunities we see in our customer segments.

Ongoing growth investments in segments including Medical, Industrial Heating, Nuclear and Chemical and Petrochemical are proceeding according to plan. We are also still seeing a growing global need for energy, energy efficiency and countries' pursuit of a stable and reliable energy supply. Accordingly, our long-term view of the performance of our high value-added niche in the oil and gas market remains positive. We also have a positive view of the development in key segments like Nuclear and Medical.

Göran Björkman, President and CEO

Perception underlying market demand

Outlook for the third quarter 2025

The general economic environment weakened slightly during the second quarter, and considering the changing global trade policy situation, the uncertainty concerning future development has increased.

Our backlog is solid in several key segments where we have good visibility in our near-term deliveries. At the same time, challenges were noted in other customer segments, particularly in Europe and North America, which may impact near-term deliveries.

Order intake, revenues and the adjusted EBIT margin are normally lower during the third quarter compared with the second quarter due to seasonal variations stemming from

maintenance stoppages during the summer. The stoppage at one of the largest production sites in Sandviken this year is planned to last slightly longer than last year, which is expected to lead to temporarily higher-than-normal underabsorption effects in the third quarter.

The product mix is expected to be similar to that of the second quarter.

On the basis of the exchange rates in late June, 2025, a currency headwind is expected in the third quarter. See more information on page 10 and in the 2024 Annual Report.

Cash flow is normally higher in the second half of the year compared with the first half.

Earnings

Gross profit decreased by 33% to SEK 900 million (1,340), with a gross margin of 18.9% (25.0). This development was attributable mainly to changing metal prices, negative currency effects and reduced revenues. Sales, administration and R&D costs decreased to SEK -630 million (-666).

Adjusted EBIT totaled SEK 454 million (592), corresponding to a margin of 9.5% (11.1), driven primarily by negative currency effects and reduced revenues. Exchange rates had a negative impact of SEK 115 million on EBIT and 1.9 percentage points on the margin, compared with the corresponding period last year. Depreciation and amortization amounted to SEK -228 million (-224).

Reported EBIT amounted to SEK 282 million (689), with a margin of 5.9% (12.8). Metal price effects had an impact of SEK -171 million (96).

Net financial items were SEK 18 million (137). The change was driven primarily by revaluations of financial derivative contracts. Last year was impacted by positive non-recurring adjustments to the hedge reserve.

The reported tax rate was 32.2% (23.0) in the quarter, impacted by non-deductible non-recurring items. The normalized tax rate was 23.8% (23.8) for the first half of the year.

Adjusted profit for the period amounted to SEK 340 million (559) and adjusted earnings per share, diluted, amounted to SEK 1.35 (2.23). Profit for the period amounted to SEK 204 million (636), corresponding to earnings per share, diluted, of SEK 0.81 (2.54). See page 26 for further details.

Sustainability

Alleima's strategy includes being a market leader in sustainability, contributing to increased circularity and supporting general health and well-being through both our product offering and our operations. Developing a sustainable product offering, combined with several initiatives to reduce the overall environmental impact of the production process, are some of the most important success factors.

Making an impact through our offering

In the quarter, it was announced that Kanthal and partner Danieli will supply a pilot-scale electric process gas heater to be installed at Emsteel's Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) plant in Abu Dhabi, UAE, to electrify a part of their existing heating system. The heater is based on Prothal® DH technology and will be the first electric process gas heater for DRI that Kanthal supplies for commercial use. The technology will play an important role in the transition to fossil-free steel production and reduce the need for using fossil fuels to heat process gas in an otherwise energy-intense sector. Delivery is planned for the beginning of 2026.

Making an impact through our operations

  • The total recordable injury frequency rate (TRIFR) for the rolling 12-month period was 5.6 (6.9). TRIFR in the quarter was 3.9 (7.8).
  • Share of recycled steel, i.e. scrap metal input in steel manufacturing for the rolling 12-month period, was 80.8% (80.6%). The share for the quarter totaled 81.6% (80.8).
  • CO₂ emissions for the rolling 12-month period amounted to 87 kton (93), corresponding to a reduction of 6%. CO₂ emissions during the quarter amounted to 22 kton (26), corresponding to a reduction of 15%.
  • The proportion of female managers amounted to 25.4% (23.7).

Notes

Note 1 | Basis of preparation

The financial statements of the Group were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. This interim report for the Group was prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, and for the parent company in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Reporting for legal entities and other statements issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board. The accounting principles and computation methods applied in the preparation of this interim report are the same as those applied in the Annual Report 2024 as amended below. All amounts are in million SEK (SEK M) unless otherwise stated. Roundings may occur.

The interim information on pages 1–29 is an integrated part of these financial statements.

Changes in IFRS standards

IASB has published amendments of standards that are effective as of January 1, 2025 or later. The standards have not had any material impact on the financial reports.

Adjustment of reporting of sold services

Other operating income and other operating expenses have been adjusted in order to recognize certain of Alleima's contractual services gross. These services mainly relate to facility management, electricity and warehouse services, which are not part of Alleima's core business. Previously, these services were accounted for through netting of income and expenses. Comparative periods have been restated, resulting in an increase in both other operating income and other operating expenses of SEK 300 million for the full year 2024. The adjustment has no impact on operating profit (EBIT). The adjustments for the quarters and full year 2024 are presented below.

Note 2 | Risks and uncertainties

As an international group with a wide geographical spread, Alleima is exposed to several strategic, business and financial risks. Strategic risk at Alleima is defined as emerging risks affecting the business long-term, such as industry shifts, technological shifts, and macroeconomic developments. The business risks can be divided into operational, sustainability, compliance, legal and commercial risks. The financial risks include currency risks, interest rate risk, price risk, tax risks and more. These risk areas can all impact the business negatively both long and short-term but often also create business opportunities if managed well. Risk management at Alleima begins with an assessment in operational management teams where the material risks to their operations are first identified, followed by an evaluation of the probability of the risks occurring and their potential impact on the Group. Once the key risks have been identified and evaluated, risk mitigating activities to eliminate or reduce the risks are agreed on. For a more detailed description of Alleima's analysis of risks and risk universe, see the Annual Report 2024.

Import tariffs to the US

Alleima has both direct sales to, and manufacturing in, the US, and may be affected directly and indirectly by import tariffs. As there is currently uncertainties about how the situation around the tariffs will evolve, it's difficullt to predict the final impact on Alleima's results and financial postion.

Note 7 | Financial assets and liabilities

Financial instruments - fair values

In order to mitigate financial risks, the Group has entered into financial instruments such as currency-, commodity-, electricity- and gas derivatives. All derivatives belong to Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, i.e. observable inputs have been used in deriving the fair values. Fair values, which equals carrying amounts, of outstanding derivatives amounted at each reporting period to the amounts below.

Financial assets derivatives 378 78 54
Financial liabilities derivatives 190 351 400

Outstanding share right programs

Alleima's General Meeting held on April 28, 2025 approved the Board's proposal for a long-term share-based incentive program for 30 senior executives and key employees in the Group (LTI 2025). Participation requires an investment in Alleima shares. Each acquired Alleima share entitles the participant to be allotted, after a period of three years, a certain number of Alleima shares free of charge, provided that certain performance targets with respect to earnings per share and reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) are met. As of June 30, 2025, LTI 2025 comprises 277,609 share rights. The delivery of these shares is secured through an equity swap agreement with a third party. Total costs before tax for outstanding rights in the incentive program are expensed over the three-year vesting period. These costs are expected to amount to SEK 16 million, of which social security costs amount to SEK 4 million.

Information regarding Alleima's long-term share-based incentive program 2023-2024 (LTI 2023 and LTI 2024), such as the objective, conditions and requirements, is presented in Note 3 in the Annual Report for 2024. As of June 30, 2025, LTI 2023 and LTI 2024 comprises 317,695 and 256,417 share rights respectively (LTI 2023: 380,901, LTI 2024 306,857).

During the six first months of 2025, the total pre-tax cost for the LTI programs amounted to SEK 6 (3) million.

Dividend

The Annual General Meeting held on April 28, 2025, resolved for the financial year 2024 on an ordinary dividend of SEK 2.30 per share. The dividend of SEK 577 million was distributed to the shareholders on May 6, 2025, of which SEK 2 million was repaid to Alleima in form of dividend related to the equity swap for LTI 2023 and LTI 2024.

Alternative Performance Measures

This interim report contains certain alternative performance measures that are not defined by IFRS. These measures are included as they are considered to be important performance indicators of the operating performance and liquidity of Alleima. They should not be considered a substitute for Alleima's financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. Alleima's definitions of these measures are described below, and as other companies may calculate non IFRS measures differently, these measures are therefore not always comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

Organic order intake and revenue growth

Change in order intake and revenues after adjustments for exchange rate effects and structural changes such as divestments and acquisitions and alloy surcharges. Organic growth is used to analyze the underlying sales performance in the Group, as most of its revenues are in currencies other than in the reporting currency (i.e. SEK, Swedish Krona). Alloy surcharges are used as an instrument to pass on changes in alloy costs along the value chain and the effects from alloy surcharges may fluctuate over time.

Adjusted operating profit (EBIT)

Alleima considers Adjusted operating profit (EBIT) and the related margin to be relevant measures to present profitability of the underlying business excluding metal price effects and items affecting comparability (IAC).

Metal price effect is the difference between sales price and purchase price on metal content used in the production of products. Metal price effect on operating profit in a particular period arises from changes in alloy prices arising from the timing difference between the purchase, as included in cost of goods sold, and the sale of an alloy, as included in revenues, when alloy surcharges are applied. IAC includes capital gains and losses from divestments and larger restructuring initiatives, impairments, capital gains and losses from divestments of financial assets as well as other material items having a significant impact on the comparability.

Adjusted operating profit (EBIT) and margin: Operating profit (EBIT) excluding items affecting comparability and metal price effects. Margin is expressed as a percentage of revenues.

Net working capital (NWC) in relation to revenues and return on capital employed (ROCE)

Alleima considers NWC in relation to revenues for the quarter relevant as a measure of both the Group's efficiency and its short-term financial health.

Net working capital (NWC): Total of inventories, trade receivables, account payables and other current non-interest-bearing receivables and liabilities, including those classified as liabilities and assets held for sale, but excluding tax assets and liabilities and provisions. Net working capital (NWC) in relation to revenues: Quarter is quarterly annualized and year-to-date numbers are based on a four-quarter average.

Alleima considers ROCE to be useful for the readers of its financial reports as a complement in assessing the possibility of implementing strategic investments and considering the Group's ability to meet its financial commitments. In addition, it is useful to also follow ROCE excluding cash, as it is focused on the operating capital employed.

Capital employed: Total assets less non-interest-bearing liabilities (including deferred tax liabilities).

ROCE: Rolling 12 months' operating profit/loss plus financial income (excl. derivatives), as a percentage of a four-quarter average capital employed.

ROCE excluding cash: Rolling 12 months' operating profit/loss, as a percentage of a four-quarter average capital employed excluding cash and cash equivalents.

the Group's ability to meet its financial commitments. Net debt to Equity ratio is included in Alleima's financial targets.

Net debt: Interest-bearing current and non-current liabilities, including net pension liabilities and leases, less cash and cash equivalents.

Adjusted EBITDA: Operating profit (EBIT) before depreciation and amortizations, adjusted for metal price effects and items affecting comparability.
