Comment from Tom Erixon

President and CEO

Outlook for the third quarter

"We expect demand in the third quarter to be somewhat higher compared to the second quarter."

Earlier published outlook (April 29, 2025): "We expect demand in the second quarter to be on about the same level as in the first quarter."

"Demand was sequentially stable in the quarter and regionally both China and the US developed well. The orders booked in the quarter amounted to 16.3 BSEK with a neutral book-to-bill. The order book remained on a high level and now stands at 50.3 BSEK. The decrease compared to the elevated order intake in 2024 was entirely related to a normalization of demand for cargo pumping systems, partly compensated by a positive growth momentum in several end markets.

In the Marine Division, the decline in cargo pumping was to some degree offset by strong growth in all other parts of the division. As expected, the high contracting pace at the yards in 2024 was converted to orders in other marine applications and continued service growth. The large order book was invoiced according to plan, with positive mix and volume effects. The EBITA margin improved to 23.9 percent in a well-executed quarter.

Demand in the Food & Water Division was firm, and order intake grew organically by 10 percent, supported by a new record level in both the transactional business and service. Despite large project delays in part of the portfolio, Desmet recorded a strong quarter and supported the growth. Invoicing was largely according to plan, with positive mix effects from the transactional business partly offset by a lower margin in part of the project portfolio. The EBITA margin at 14.7 percent was a slight decline from last year.

The Energy Division was stable, and order intake grew 2 percent organically, with a clear recovery in the HVAC market as expected. The demand trends were mixed in the quarter, with fossil fuel projects increasing and clean energy projects slowing. Large orders were generally slow to convert, but the project pipeline, including clean energy applications, remains robust.

Service growth slowed in the quarter, partly due to internal changes in the supply chain, and Service deliveries are now back to normal levels. Invoicing was impacted by slower project execution by customers. Margins still improved in the project business specifically and, for the division, the EBITA margin ended at 17.3 percent.

On 7 July, 2025, the acquisition of the cryogenic business from the French group Fives was completed according to plan. The cryogenic platform for a broad range of gas applications is now significantly strengthened. The cryogenic business will be integrated under the Alfa Laval brand as a business unit in the Energy Division. It will add 1.5 BSEK to the order book, approximately 2-2.5 BSEK to the annual order intake, and is expected to be somewhat accretive to the divisional margin.

The demand in the third quarter is expected to remain stable sequentially, and with the addition of cryogenic business from Fives generate a somewhat higher demand for Alfa Laval. On the current levels, the effects from the ongoing trade disputes have a limited effect on Alfa Laval's order intake and margins, with the exception of a slow conversion of larger capex projects. The group will continue to take a cautious approach to costs and hiring until the trade disputes are clarified."

Net sales in the quarter reached SEK 16,819 (17,530) million, a decline of -4.1 percent compared to the same quarter last year. Sequentially, net sales followed normal seasonality and increased with 2.2 percent. Net sales in the quarter yielded an adjusted EBITA of SEK 3,001 (2,932) million, an increase of 2 percent, and a margin equivalent of 17.8 percent (16.7). Net sales for Service grew 2 percent compared to the same quarter last year, accounting for a mix of invoicing at 31 (29) percent.

A continued positive mix and Service content resulted in a strong Marine Division EBITA margin of 23.9 percent. Continued growth in the transactional business portfolio largely compensated for the lower invoicing volumes and profitability in some delivered projects in the quarter for the Food & Water EBITA margin. The Energy EBITA margin was at a level of 17.3 percent where the main detractor was deferred invoicing volumes, while operational performance remained stable, but the margin was negatively impacted by mix.

Adjusted gross margin improved to 38.3 (34.5) percent, boosted by better factory and engineering results and positive purchasing price variances compared to the same quarter last year. Operating income increased with 5.1 percent to SEK 2,881 (2,742) million compared to the same quarter last year. The current order book with planned deliveries supports a continued good invoicing level, the order book in general is in line with current input cost levels.

Sales and administration expenses were SEK -2,696 (-2,592) million during the second quarter, corresponding to 16.0 (14.8) percent of net sales. For the first six months sales and administration expenses were SEK -5,300 (-5,049) million, corresponding to 15.9 (15.5) percent of net sales. Sales and administration expenses

increased by 4.0 percent during the second quarter and by 5.0 percent during the first six months compared to the corresponding periods last year.

Research and development expenses were SEK -401 (-411) million during the second quarter, corresponding to 2.4 (2.3) percent of net sales. For the first six months research and development expenses were SEK -828 (-805) million, corresponding to 2.5 (2.5) percent of net sales. The costs for research and development decreased with 2.2 percent during the second quarter and increased by 2.7 percent during the first six months compared to the corresponding periods last year.

Earnings per share in the quarter amounted to SEK 4.87 (4.08) and 9.69 (8.15) for the first six months. The corresponding figure excluding amortization of step-up values and corresponding tax, was SEK 10,13 (8.95) for the first six months.

Taxes

The tax on the result after financial items was SEK -684 (-694) million in the second quarter and SEK -1,338 (-1,251) million in the first six months 2025. The tax rate was 25 (27) percent for the Group in the quarter, which is in line with the guidance range of 24- 26 percent.

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities was SEK 2,159 (2,755) million in the second quarter and SEK 3,564 (4,644) million in the first six months. Depreciation and amortization was SEK -570 (-606) million in the quarter and SEK -1,139 (-1,261) million in the first six months 2025. Acquisition of businesses in the first six months was SEK -529 (-50) million due to the acquisition of NRG Marine Ltd. and a minor American service provider. SEK -461 (-2) million is related to the second quarter.

Financing activities amounted to SEK 801 (-4,824) million in the quarter and SEK 551 (-4,635) million in the first six months. During the quarter a shareholder's dividend of SEK -3,513 (-3,100) million was paid and new external funding was established of SEK 4,293 (1,785) million. The increase was driven by the financing need for the acquisition of Fives Cryogenics, which was completed in July.

Total cash flow in the quarter was SEK 1,825 (-2,716) million, and SEK 2,282 (-1,460) million in the first six months, arriving at a cash balance at the end of the quarter of SEK 9,342 (3,766) million. The comparative figures in the cash flow statement have been restated to reflect a new cash flow statement structure. Please refer to Notes 1 and 9 for further details.

*Sequential change between Q1 2025 and Q2 2025.

Order intake*

The Energy Division reported a somewhat higher organic order intake compared to the same quarter last year. The growth in data centres continued and demand in Fossil base fuels and power remained positive. The transactional business developed positively whilst the uncertain political and economic environment slowed down customers' pace for final investment decision for larger projects. From a regional perspective, the demand was high in North America and most European markets. Solid growth in China for both transactional and project business, but a slower demand in other Asian markets.

Orders developed positively in HVAC** with continued high demand in district heating and a slight increase in heat pumps, but from low levels last year. The order intake slightly declined in Light industry & tech despite continued growth in data centres and semiconductors. Other applications related to manufacturing and engine declined in the quarter. Orders in Fossil base fuels & power grew in the quarter driven by project business. Demand increased in oil, conventional power and refinery, while gas applications experienced a somewhat weaker quarter. Order intake in Process industries declined compared to last year, both for projects and the transactional business. Organic chemicals continued to grow but could not offset weaker demand in mining, metals and Pulp & paper. Orders declined in Clean fuels, power and chemicals. The transactional business grew in most applications but a very slow quarter for the project business. The sentiment for clean energy solutions remains positive but was impacted by delays in final investment decision and project order bookings.

Service orders were stable compared to the same quarter last year. An increase in the demand for spare parts compensated for a weaker quarter in other services.

Net sales*

Sales in the quarter increased slightly for both transactional and project business. The sales mix does not fully reflect the recent order mix, and the share of project orders have increased in the order book.

Adjusted EBITA***

Adjusted EBITA decreased compared to last year. Invoicing declined but was mitigated by a more favourable mix and improved profitability for the project business. However, costs related to R&D and investment programs increased and currency had a negative effect on the overall result.

Order intake*

Order intake grew compared to the same quarter last year. Geographically, demand was particularly good in Latin America, Middle East & Africa and Southeast Asia. Orders on the important markets in US and China continued to develop positively. Service orders grew.

Oils & fats showed double-digit growth, primarily driven by large orders in Latin America, Middle East and Southeast Asia. Protein declined, driven by a non-repeat large order in Southern Europe. However, the industry showed solid growth in Americas and Asia, supporting a continued good demand in the industry. Dairy reported good order intake, with growth in all regions except for Latin America. Orders in Pharma & biotech grew, with regional variations. Demand grew in North America and Asia, while Europe declined. Globally, a continued positive sentiment is noticed with both capacity, national supply chains but also new pharma products, driving the demand. Biofuels declined but the market remains positive, supported by strong policy momentum, energy transition targets, and growing demand for alternative fuels. Order intake in Waste & water grew, driven by large orders in North America and a solid growth in Northern Europe. The market remains project-driven and publicly funded, with a positive investment environment tied to sustainability and infrastructure priorities. Brewery orders were unchanged compared to last year, with capacity-related investments in general remaining limited with the industry still subject to consolidation.

Service orders developed positively, with most regions reporting double-digit order growth, reflecting robust demand.

Net sales*

Net sales declined compared to the same quarter last year, with a somewhat reduced impact from revenue recognition in project sales and a slightly favourable mix from higher Service. Industry-wise, Biofuels and Dairy showed strong growth, whilst slight decline was noted in Protein and Oils & fats. Geographically, sales in Asia and Europe were unchanged, while North America declined.

Adjusted EBITA**

Adjusted EBITA declined compared to the same period last year. A favourable sales mix and strong factory performance could not fully offset increased costs driven by inflation, higher sales and administrative expenses as well as a somewhat negative FX impact.

Order intake*

Order intake for the Marine Division was at a lower level compared to the exceptionally strong quarter last year. A higher demand for service, digital solutions, and across almost all product groups could not offset the lower demand for marine pumping systems.

The underlying market sentiment related to the building of new vessels was on a lower level compared to the same period last year as contracting is being impacted by limited yard capacity and uncertainty. Tanker and bulk carrier ordering were notably weak, but containership and cruise ship contracting remained robust amid contracting for 'green' fleet renewal. Multi-fuel capable solutions, primarily with LNG and methanol as the alternative fuel, continue to gain traction, driving demand for the new generation of boilers and alternative fuel supply systems. Offshore orders were at a higher level compared to the same quarter last year as several projects were realized in the quarter. The underlying market sentiment was strong due to the sanctioning of new projects to safeguard long term energy security.

Service orders grew compared to the same quarter last year. Demand was driven by a good activity level in both the shipping and offshore end markets and due to a growing installed base of environmental solutions. Good freight rates in almost all vessel segments and the consequent desire to keep vessel assets in good operational readiness resulted in increased on-board maintenance and higher demand for all service scopes, ranging from spare parts to service.

Net sales*

Sales were at a higher level than in the same quarter last year. Sales were higher for both service and capital sales in almost all product areas except ballast water systems and offshore pumping systems, with good execution of the large orderbook.

Adjusted EBITA**

Adjusted EBITA increased compared to the same quarter in the previous year. The improved profitability is attributed to favourable impact from volume and mix. The factory and engineering result was positive, driven by the continued high operational load. However, costs increased due to general inflationary pressures and the overall high level of business activity.

Sustainability

Case studies

Safety a shared responsibility

A strong safety culture is imperative for managing safety effectively in an organization. To better equip managers to always lead with a safety mindset, Alfa Laval provides a new training for senior managers designed around their critical role in influencing a strong safety culture. The new global training explores strategies and actions to secure that all co-workers return home safely every day.

Material with reduced environmental impact

Alfa Laval is committed to reducing value chain emissions by 50% 2030. Metals are the largest contributors to the upstream emissions, and there are several initiatives across the group. One being proactive collaboration with stainless steel manufacturers to source materials with a reduced environmental impact for the Compabloc heat exchanger. Since January 2025, stainless steel with lower CO2 emissions has exclusively been purchased. The aim is to produce 100% of the standard Compabloc transfer plates with this steel by early 2026. This will save more than 450 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually.

New solar panel installation at the Shonan site in Japan

All Alfa Laval sites are actively working to phase out fossil fuels and become more energy efficient. Last year, close to 96% of the electricity used at our sites globally was from renewable sources. One solution is solar panels, which allow us to generate our own renewable electricity and offload the local grid. For instance, the new solar panel installation at the Shonan site in Japan that has been up and running since March. The target for the 645 installed solar panel modules is set to account for 30-40% of the total electricity consumed on an annual basis. In April, it supplied 44%.

Quarterly follow up

Energy

Alfa Laval's overall energy consumption increased in Q2 compared to Q2, 2024. The main reason was due to an increase in production in one of the business units.

Carbon emissions

The decrease in Scope 1 emissions is driven by lower natural gas, fuel oil and heating oil consumption. This mainly relates to optimization in the production as well as electrifying process equipment. Scope 2 emissions decrease in regions where sites generate more solar energy.

Health and safety

The number of Lost Time Injuries (LTIs) decreased slightly during Q2 2025 compared to Q1, resulting in a Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) of 1.9 (LTM). During the quarter, several of the injuries were cut injuries while handling products and equipment during non-routine work. Risks during manual work will be prioritized in future risk assessments to reduce the number of accidents.

New products during the second quarter

During the second quarter Alfa Laval has introduced, among others, the following new products that help our customers to become more energy efficient, reduce their carbon footprint and improve their processes:

Alfa Laval secures order for the world's first Ammonia Release Mitigation System (ARMS)

Alfa Laval has secured the order for the world's first marine boiler system specifically engineered to safely incinerate ammonia emissions. Designed to go beyond conventional steam generation, the boiler serves as an Ammonia Release Mitigation System (ARMS). This multi-functionality allows shipowners to reduce costs and save valuable space by minimizing the need for additional equipment while effectively managing waste and byproducts.

Developed through research and collaboration with industry frontrunners including WinGD Ltd., and HD Hyundai Mipo Co., Ltd. , this innovative system will be deployed on four 45,000 m3 multi-gas carriers owned by Trafigura, with delivery scheduled for 2027- 2028.

The Alfa Laval Centriflow Wet Rendering System strengthens Alfa Laval's contributions to the circular economy

Centriflow extracts high-quality fats and proteins from insects and meat, poultry, and fish by-products – unlocking new revenue streams for food- and feed-grade products as well as renewable fuels. It boosts fat yields by up to 10%, produces leaner protein meals, and cuts steam use by up to 40% compared to conventional systems. Centriflow also facilitates onsite upcycling of raw materials, retaining more value in-house while reducing costs and waste.

The new high-pressure T21 semi-welded heat exchanger – Performs under pressure

Introducing the world's largest high-pressure semi-welded plate heat exchanger, the T21 is built to handle up to 63 bar. Designed for demanding applications like industrial heat pumps and refrigeration, it delivers superior thermal performance and mechanical strength compared to conventional technologies. At the core is Alfa Laval's RefTight™ sealing system – a unique combination of laser welding and gaskets that ensures reliable performance with the flexibility of a gasketed design. It's enhanced by our CurveFlow™ distribution pattern, which maximizes heat transfer and enables close temperature approaches. Adding to its mechanical strength is the PowerBridge™ – a robust connector between the distribution and heat transfer zones that increases structural integrity by up to 10%. This ensures stable performance even under repeated pressure and temperature cycles. With the ability to desuperheat, condense, and subcool in a single unit, the T21 replaces multiple components, reducing installation time, cost, and footprint. Modular and serviceable, it adapts to your needs – today and tomorrow. A smarter, more efficient alternative to conventional solutions.

Risks and uncertainties

Material factors of risk and uncertainty

The main factors of risk and uncertainty facing the Group concern the business cycle, the consequences of Russia's war on Ukraine and other geo-political tensions, the price development of metals, inflationary pressures, the interest rate development and volatile

fluctuations in major currencies. It is the company's opinion that the description of risks made in the Annual Report for 2024 is still correct.

Russia's war on Ukraine

The ongoing conflict has resulted in that Alfa Laval has ceased all commercial activities in Russia. Alfa Laval's assessment is that the longer-term implications of the war are of such a magnitude that the company in 2022 provided for the entire closure of operations.

Sanctions

The current geopolitical environment has resulted in several sanction packages imposed on several countries where conflicts are ongoing. Alfa Laval follows and enforces all sanction imposed by the European Union as well as all US and other sanctions that are applicable. The significantly increased amount of sanctioned entities together with the sophisticated circumvention attempts, make the assurance work more demanding.

Asbestos-related lawsuits

The Alfa Laval Group was as of June 30, 2025 named as a codefendant in a total of 314 asbestos-related lawsuits with a total of approximately 314 plaintiffs. Alfa Laval strongly believes the claims against the Group are without merit and intends to vigorously contest each lawsuit.

Based on current information and Alfa Laval's understanding of these lawsuits, Alfa Laval continues to believe that these lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial condition or results of operation.

Implication of tariffs

The dynamics and development of global trade is uncertain with background of the ongoing implementation of trade tariffs and reciprocal escalations in response. Alfa Laval is monitoring the situation closely to ensure appropriate measures are taken to handle commercial exposures, supply chain disruptions and guide further actions.

Other

Alternative performance measures

Alfa Laval follows the Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures issued by ESMA, European Securities and Markets Authority. For definitions of the alternative performance measures, refer to the Annual Report 2024. The definitions remain unchanged, except for Order backlog which has changed name to Order book. Additionally, the Alternative Performance Measure (APM) "Free cash flow per share" has been restated from Q1 2025 due to modifications in the presentation of the consolidated statement of cash flows. Detailed information regarding these modifications can be found in Note 1 and 9. The affected APM is marked with a footnote where applicable, as the comparison periods have been recalculated.

Significant events after the reporting period

No significant events other than stated above have occurred after the reporting period.

Signature of the Board of Directors and the President

The Board of Directors and the President and CEO assure that the report for the first six months gives a true and fair view of the operations, financial position and results for the company and the consolidated Group and describes material factors of risk and uncertainty facing the company and the companies that are part of the Group.

Notes

Note 1. Accounting principles

The interim report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The accounting and valuation principles of the parent company comply with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for legal entities, issued by the Council for Financial Reporting in Sweden.

Full descriptions of accounting principles are presented in the Annual Report 2024. These principles have been consistently applied as in the Annual Report, however, starting from Q1 2025, some changes have been implemented in the interim report. Structurally, certain information has been moved to a notes section. Additionally, the Consolidated comprehensive income has been divided into two separate reports: the Condensed consolidated income statement and the Condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The Condensed consolidated statement of cash flows is now presented after the Condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity. Furthermore, changes have been made to the presentation of some of the financial statements, detailed below:

Condensed consolidated income statement and Condensed parent company income statement: The financial statement lines "Other operating income" and "Other operating costs" have been merged into "Other operating income and costs". Similarly, the lines "Dividends and other financial income and costs", "Interest income and financial exchange rate gains" and "Interest expense and financial exchange rate losses" have been merged into "Financial net", which is specified in Note 6.

Condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income: The Comprehensive income is now presented in a separate financial statement with a slightly modified layout for clarity.

Condensed statement of changes in equity: The layout of this report has been revised for better clarity. Additionally, the statement is now condensed with fewer details, presenting only the current period and the comparison period.

Condensed consolidated statement of cash flows: The structure of the cash flow statement has been remodelled and the comparative numbers have been recalculated accordingly. Please refer to Note 9 for further details.

Furthermore, the report on Net sales by product has been condensed to only show Alfa Laval's main product groups, including related services. This means that the previous categories "Marine environmental", "Associated products", and "Services" are now included in the other four categories. The categories "Marine environmental " and "Associated Products" are included in "Other", while "Service" is distributed across all categories as service is reported based on the type of product it was performed on.

Moreover, the amounts previously reported as "Consolidation adjustments" in the table Reconciliation between Divisions and Group total are now included in the Adjusted EBITA and Operating Income in the Other Division. Thus, the amounts are now part of the Adjusted EBITA for the Divisions in the table "Reconciliation between Divisions and Group total" as well as in Other in Note 2. Segment reporting.

The totals in the tables and the calculated totals may not always match due to rounding differences on individual lines. Each subtotal, and line item, corresponds to its original source and rounding, which can lead to discrepancies with reported totals that aggregate the exact figures before rounding.

Concurrently, two new term loans of EUR 200 million each were established, although these were not utilized as of June 30.

The increase in corporate bonds and the establishment of new term loans were driven by the financing need for the acquisition of Fives Cryogenics, which was completed at the beginning of July 2025.
