Cash flow in the second quarter
HANZA provides tailormade manufacturing solutions for leading product companies – more like an architect with overall responsibility than a traditional subcontractor. The business model ensures that the company is constantly evolving, even in periods of economic downturn.
Profitability continued to improve sequentially during Q2. The adjusted operating margin for "old HANZA" (excluding the acquisition of Leden in March this year) amounted to 7.8% in Q2, compared with 7.3% in Q1. This is a positive development, and even more encouraging when we look at underlying profitability.
Acquisitions are an important part of our business model. They strengthen our offering by adding new technology and expertise. One example is Orbit One, a high-tech electronics company that we acquired in early 2024. However, their operating margin was around 6%, compared with HANZA's margin of just over 8%, and the company was also affected when the economic downturn hit. Although demand has not yet picked up, we have managed to raise the margin in Orbit One to the same level as the rest of HANZA. This is a result of a rapid integration process, and effective synergy work.
In March this year, we acquired Leden, an advanced mechanical engineering company where the challenge is instead a rapidly growing demand. Here, we have needed to work to ensure deliveries through a range of activities such as overtime, extra transport and production shared between several factories. These measures impact Leden's margin and thus also the Group's earnings.
Although we are still in the integration phase with Leden, we have already launched a comprehensive coordination project, both within the Finnish cluster and with other parts of the Group. The project will be completed before the end of the year and will result in a significant increase in capacity, which in turn will enable fast and positive earnings growth.
In March 2025, we launched the LYNX market program in response to a changed global environment. The program is focused on the defense industry and has been very well received. We expect to be able to report new contracts already during the fall. At the same time, we are now seeing several
existing customers raising their forecasts for the end of 2025, which is the first time since the recession began.
All of this puts demands on our capacity building. In July, we signed an agreement to acquire Milectria, a manufacturer specializing in systems for the defense industry, with operations in Finland, Estonia, and the United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi). The acquisition adds approximately 300 employees and a new customer base, while establishing a dedicated platform with high expertise and capacity for manufacturing in the defense sector. This will enable us to accelerate LYNX while securing capacity for our other industries and customers.
In addition to our major investments, a number of other activities are also ongoing. During the quarter, we moved into the new assembly hall in Töcksfors, which was inaugurated in February. We have also started an expansion of the mechanical engineering facility in Årjäng to meet increased demand from the energy sector.
In summary, we have successfully developed HANZA through a series of initiatives – during a period otherwise characterized by a weak economy. We are entering the fall in a strong position and confidently reiterate our financial targets for 2025. In parallel, work continues on HANZA 2028, our strategy for the coming years, which we plan to present at a capital markets day towards the end of the year.
We are ready for the next chapter!

HANZA pursues a market strategy aimed at creating a well-balanced customer base within selected industries. No single customer should account for more than 10% of HANZA's annual sales, and the ten largest customers together should account for less than 50%. HANZA meets these targets, even after the recent acquisitions.
Examples of selected industries include mining, defense and security, energy, medical technology, agriculture and forestry, and recycling. Geographically, customers are mainly located in the Nordic region and Germany, but there are also some customers in other parts of the world. Sales volume to the US amounts to less than 1%.
At the beginning of 2024, the economy entered a recession, which also affected HANZA. The market situation has turned upward in late spring 2025, with several customers announcing volume increases towards the end of 2025. This upturn is in line with the market assessment made by HANZA at the start of the recession.
HANZA has adjusted its cost structure to the current market situation, while maintaining a very good capacity for volume increases. The acquisition of

Milectria also provides new capacity for the rapidly growing defense segment.
HANZA has retained all of its customers and also secured new important contracts in 2024 that will contribute to sales in 2025 and beyond.
HANZA offers tailor-made manufacturing solutions that are in high demand regardless of the economic cycle. New sales remained strong in 2025, which will contribute to sales in 2026 and beyond.
Furthermore, HANZA's business model is supported by the trend toward complete and regional manufacturing. This trend has been driven primarily by trade barriers, transport costs, delivery times, environmental aspects, and the pandemic. The invasion of Ukraine has also added a political dimension, with companies with manufacturing in risk areas considering moving production closer to the market to secure their deliveries. Uncertainty about future tariffs following the US presidential election has also increased the need for local manufacturing. The economic downturn in Germany, mainly driven by the automotive segment where HANZA is not active, is creating new opportunities for so-called MIG™ contracts.

HANZA's sustainability work is focused on three areas: Environment & Climate, Safety & Ethics, and Colleagues. The sustainability goals, together with the financial goals in the company's overall strategy "HANZA 2025", shall ensure that HANZA achieves long-term profitable and sustainable growth.
Leden will be included in sustainability reporting from Q2 2025.
During the second quarter, we implemented various local initiatives based on the results of our annual employee survey. In Estonia, an important initiative has been a project based on the results of last year's employee survey. The survey showed lower job satisfaction in groups with more than 60 employees. To address this, we have introduced a new group manager role that divides its time between operational and administrative work.

The risk factors that generally have the greatest significance for HANZA are unexpected global events, financial risks, and changes in demand. For more information on risks and uncertainties, please refer to Note 3 in the company's annual report for 2024. No
significant changes in risks have occurred since the annual report for 2024 was submitted.

HANZA AB (publ), corporate identity number 556748- 8399, has its registered office in Stockholm municipality. Unless otherwise stated, all amounts are reported in millions of SEK (MSEK) and refer to the Group.
Figures in brackets refer to the corresponding period last year. The interim information on pages 6 to 8 forms an integral part of this financial report.
HANZA AB applies IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) as adopted by the European Union. This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The interim report for the parent company has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 9 of the
Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.
The accounting principles are in accordance with the principles applied in the previous financial year. For more information on these, please refer to Note 2 in HANZA AB's annual report for 2024.
The majority of the Group's borrowings have a maturity of 5 years and bear interest at variable rates. The Group's other borrowings consist of a small number of contracts entered into at different times and with different maturities, essentially at floating rates.
On this basis, the carrying amounts can be considered a good approximation of fair values. The fair value of short-term borrowings corresponds to their carrying amount, as the discounting effect is not material.
HANZA's revenue comes primarily from the production of components, subsystems and complete assembled products according to customer specifications, but where HANZA has been involved in customizing the manufacturing process. HANZA's performance obligation is deemed to be fulfilled when the component or assembled product is delivered to the customer. Exceptions to this are in cases where there is an agreement with the customer on buffer stocks of finished components or products.
In these cases, the performance obligation is considered fulfilled already when the component or product is placed in the buffer stock and is thus available to the customer.
The breakdown of external revenue by segment, which follows the Group's clustered organization, is shown in the segment information on pages 8-9. In addition, external revenues are presented by manufacturing technology, Mechanics and Electronics, at the end of this note.

On March 3, 2025, all shares in Leden Group Oy in Finland were acquired. The company is a leading player in advanced mechanical manufacturing and had approximately 620 employees at the time of the acquisition. Transaction costs amounted to approximately SEK 18 million, of which SEK 16 million was charged to Q4 2024 and SEK 2 million to Q1 2025. The costs are reported as other external costs.
The purchase price was calculated at SEK 479 million based on the company's balance sheet as of February 28, 2025, and the initially estimated remaining purchase price. Upon completion, SEK 230 million was paid, and shares and options worth SEK 196 million were issued. The options entitling the acquirer to receive a maximum of 0.3 million additional shares, depending on HANZA's share price performance in 2025, could not be exercised. This is because the specific conditions attached to the options were not met. In addition to the initial purchase price, an additional purchase price of a maximum of EUR 15 million may be paid, depending on the financial development of Leden. The remaining purchase price is estimated in the acquisition analysis at SEK 56 million (EUR 5 million), which is discounted to SEK 53 million.
The acquisition identified an intangible asset in the form of customer relationships amounting to SEK 83 million. The amortization period for these customer relationships is estimated at 10 years. Deferred tax liability relating to this item amounts to SEK 17 million. In addition, goodwill of SEK 198 million is reported in the acquisition. This goodwill consists mainly of market position and personnel, as well as synergies with HANZA's other operations in Finland and Estonia. It is not tax deductible. The acquisition analysis is still preliminary.
The table on the right summarizes the purchase price for Leden and the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities recognized on the acquisition date, as well as cash flow from the acquisition. Revenue in the acquired companies amounted to SEK 626 million in the first half of the year, of which SEK 209 million is attributable to the period prior to the acquisition and SEK 417 million is included in the Group's sales. Profit after tax for the first half of the year amounted to SEK 7 million, of which SEK 0 million is attributable to the period prior to the acquisition and SEK 7 million is included in the Group's profit.
