Foreword by the Chairman of the Management Board

Dear shareholders

The Masterflex Group can look back on a solid first half of 2025, which we were once again able to close with growth despite a persistently challenging environment. We have achieved considerable operational and strategic progress over the past few months and set an important path for the future, which gives us a positive outlook for both the short and long term. We also celebrated an anniversary in the past six months - 25 years on the stock exchange. We look back on a quarter of a century of growth and trust with pride, and we would like to thank our shareholders, customers, suppliers, and, of course, our employees.

Growth in revenue and (operating) earnings

In a challenging geopolitical and economic environment, we were once again successful in the first half of 2025 with an increase in revenue of 3.4% to EUR 53.4 million, demonstrating our strong position in the market for innovative hose and connection systems. Further proof of our performance is the fact that we were again named "World Market Leader Champion" by the University of St. Gallen as part of its renowned "World Market Leader Index". The main growth drivers in the first half of the year were almost all sectors and regions, albeit to varying degrees. The aviation and medical technology sectors as well as the infrastructure business in the area of air conditioning technology stood out in particular. At regional level, we recorded significant increases in revenue, particularly in some European regions, the USA and Brazil.

On an operating EBITDA basis, we achieved an increase in earnings of 5.3% to EUR 10.6 million. At EUR 7.9 million, our operating EBIT was 4.7% higher than in the previous year, which we see as a major success of our ongoing efficiency measures in view of the special effects. Currency losses in Asia and the start-up costs for our new location in Morocco led to expenses totaling EUR 0.7 million. Without these expenses, our earnings would have even grown by double digits. Despite higher costs, we were therefore able to increase our operating EBIT margin slightly to 14.7%.

In financial terms, the Masterflex Group continues to be in a robust position: We were able to reduce our financial liabilities by EUR 1.1 million to EUR 19.4 million compared to the balance sheet date 31 December 2024. At EUR 10.3 million, our cash and cash equivalents remain at a high level, although they have fallen by EUR 1.3 million compared to the end of 2024. The main reason for the decline is the dividend payment of EUR 2.6 million, after the Annual General Meeting on 12 June 2025 resolved to increase the dividend by 8% to EUR 0.27 per share. Net debt is virtually unchanged at EUR 9.1 million and is at a solid level with a ratio to operating EBITDA of 0.49. Higher consolidated equity of EUR 64.9 million as a result of the positive earnings performance and the consolidated equity ratio of 68.2% reflect the Masterflex Group's high level of solidity.

Highlights in the first half of 2025

The Masterflex Group set important milestones in the past six months. We started construction of our new plant in the MIDPARC free trade zone near Casablanca, Morocco. From 2026, we will manufacture highly specialized hose systems for the aviation industry there, strengthening our aviation business with expanded production capacities and thus creating the basis for doubling our business in this sector in the future.

Moreover, we have further developed our product portfolio with innovative solutions such as the highly hygienic DualFlow spiral hose, the digitally connected AMPIUS hose system, and the first fully biodegradable materials. We are particularly proud to have developed a tubing solution made from a cradle-to-cradle compliant, biodegradable polymer. This globally unique solution marks our entry into closed material cycles, eliminating environmental impact while enabling sustainable solutions for our customers - customers for whom the transformation to a circular economy will increasingly move from a vision to a business necessity in the coming years due to stricter regulations and the responsible use of resources.

The significant progress we have made in implementing our HERO@ZERO future strategy has led to the conclusion of a substantial development and framework agreement with an international industrial customer. This lighthouse project is a milestone for us as it marks our entry into new materials and assembly technologies and expands our value chain in the LIFE and TECH markets. Starting in 2027, we expect this project to generate an additional EUR 5 million in annual revenue — and up to EUR 10 million at full capacity utilization. With HERO@ZERO, we are on course for sustainable growth.

Outlook 2025

With a strong foundation in place, we are looking ahead with confidence to the second half of this year and beyond. We are on track to achieve our short- and medium-term goals. For the 2025 financial year, we are in line with our outlook. As communicated in the 2024 annual report, we expect revenue to be between EUR 100 million and EUR 105 million. The EBIT forecast remains in the range of EUR 12 million to EUR 15 million.

On behalf of the entire Management Board, I would like to thank all stakeholders for their trust, and we hope you will continue to accompany Masterflex into an exciting and promising future.

Yours

Dr. Andreas Bastin Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

Masterflex Share and Annual General Meeting

Share price performance in the first half of 2025

The first half of 2025 was marked by significant shifts and reallocations of capital across international financial markets. After a prolonged period in which investors favored US assets. attention turned primarily to European equities during the first six months, a trend reflected in the development of the relevant indices. A key driver of this dynamic was Donald Trump's return to the US presidency in January, which brought with it a distinctly trade-focused and protectionist agenda. This was characterized by repeated announcements of new import tariffs, frequent delays in their implementation, and occasional abrupt policy reversals. One pivotal event was the socalled "Liberation Day" in April, when, after several postponements, comprehensive tariff increases finally took effect. These measures led to growing uncertainty across international financial markets and triggered a significant capital outflow from the United States. European equity markets, in particular, benefited from this environment, staging a pronounced recovery after years of relative underperformance. Geopolitical tensions and the associated increases in defense budgets also prompted inflows into defense-related stocks. Additionally, sentiment in the German economy brightened, fuelled by a change in government and the introduction of business-friendly investment programs.

Against this political backdrop, the DAX gained approximately 20.1% from the beginning of the year to the end of June. This performance clearly outperformed that of major US indices, including the Dow Jones (+3.5%), the S&P 500 (+5.0%), and the Nasdaq 100 (+6.8%). The MDAX also broke out of its sideways trend, recording a gain of around 19.1%. The SDAX, which serves as the key benchmark for Masterflex shares, delivered the highest increase among Germany's selection indices, rising by 28.1%. The Prime All Share index, which includes Masterflex SE shares, advanced by 19.7% during the first six months of 2025.

Masterflex SE shares opened the 2025 trading year on Xetra at EUR 9.38. The lowest level of the first half was recorded on 7 April at EUR 8.36. Throughout the shares climbed steadly - supported by robust business performance and positive investor reception of corporate announcements - reaching a first-half high (intraday) of EUR 14.40 on 24 June. The shares closed the six months period on 30 June at EUR 12.55.1

Based on the Xetra closing price of EUR 9.38 on 30 December 2024, the Masterflex share posted a price increase of 33.8% by the end of June. Including the dividend of EUR 0.27 per share (previous year: EUR 0.25), the total return for the first half of 2025 amounted to 36.7%. As such, the performance of the Masterflex share so far in 2025 has exceeded that of the DAX, MDAX, and SDAX indices of Deutsche Börse.

During the reporting period, an average of 3,217 Masterflex shares (previous year: 3,624) were traded daily across all German stock exchanges.

At the end of 2024, with the same number of shares and a closing price of EUR 9.38, market capitalization stood at EUR 90.2 million (all figures based on Xetra closing prices).

Annual General Meeting 2025:

Dividend increase to EUR 0.27 per share

With the in-person Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 12 June, Masterflex SE continued its established dividend policy. Following the resolution passed by the AGM, the dividend was increased from 25 cents to 27 cents per share compared to 2024 - an uplift of 8%. This corresponds to a total distribution of approximately EUR 2,596,950.18 (previous year: EUR 2,404,583.50) from retained earnings to the shareholders of Masterflex SE. The AGM expressed its confidence in the members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board for the 2024 financial year and approved all agenda items by large majorities. Attendance at the AGM represented 64.01% of the share capital (2024: 57.7%).

In his speech at the AGM, Dr Andreas Bastin, CEO of Masterflex SE, outlined key growth initiatives, including the establishment of a new production facility in Morocco, scheduled to begin operations in 2026, major customer projects starting at the end of 2025, and the market launch of innovative hose solutions. With developments such as the hygienic spiral hose Master PUR DualFlow, the digital hose system AMPIUS, and biodegradable materials, Masterflex is advancing the transition to a circular economy as part of its future strategy HERO@ZERO. Targeted M&A activities further complement this growth strategy.

Another key agenda item at the AGM was the regular election of the Supervisory Board. After nine years of service, Jan van der Zouw stepped down from the Board. The incumbent members Georg van Hall and Dr Gerson Link were re-elected to the Supervisory Board. Rein Groot was newly appointed to the Board. In its subsequent constituent meeting, the Supervisory Board confirmed Georg van Hall as Chairman, thus ensuring continuity within the Board.

Capital market communication

The Masterflex Group maintains an open information policy towards all participants in the capital market that is synchronized in terms of time and content. Insofar as the Masterflex Group's competitive position as one of the few listed hose manufacturers permits and is not jeopardized by the disclosure of information, the most detailed data possible is made available. The aim of capital market communication is to increase awareness of Masterflex shares on the capital market by means of the highest possible degree of transparency and regular dialogue with investors, analysts and representatives of the press in order to contribute to a fair valuation of the shares. In the period under review, the Management Board intensified contact with capital market participants at virtual, hybrid and physical roadshows and investor conferences as well as other formats. In addition, the management of Masterflex SE was in continuous dialogue with representatives of the press, investors and financial analysts as well as the financial community.

Interim Group Management Report for the first half of 2025

Business Development

The Masterflex Group continued its robust development in the first half of 2025 despite a challenging geopolitical and trade policy environment. Once again, revenue arowth was achieved and efficiency was further increased, resulting in another improvement in key earnings figures compared to the previous year. This impressively confirmed the Company's strong position in the market for innovative hose and connection systems.

At the same time, the Group continued to transform in order to achieve sustainable growth, particularly through investments in forward-looking technologies, new materials, and production capacity expansion.

Business performance in the first half of 2025 was characterized by positive developments in the aviation, medical technology, and air conditioning sectors (HVAC), with significant revenue growth recorded in England, France, the US, and Brazil in particular. Challenges such as currency losses in Asia and start-up costs for the new location in Morocco were more than offset by operational successes and efficiency gains.

Earnings, Assets, and Financial Position

Earnings Position of the Group

1.1 Revenue development and incoming orders

The Masterflex Group recorded moderate revenue growth of 3.4% to EUR 53.4 million in the first half of the year, compared with EUR 51.6 million in the same period of the previous vear. The revenue trend reflects a mixed development in the individual customer sectors. In particular, revenue from customers in the semiconductor, plastics, and food industries declined, but this was more than offset by corresponding growth with customers in the aviation, medical, industrial, and air conditioning and ventilation technology (HVAC) sectors.

From a regional perspective, sales performance in Asia was weak due to economic conditions and influenced by geopolitical and trade policy factors. The main drivers of revenue growth came from individual European countries, Brazil, and the US.

Incoming orders in the first half of 2025 were stable despite the economic conditions. The order backlog stood at EUR 20.1 million as at 30 June 2025, compared to EUR 19.8 million at the end 2024 and EUR 20.3 million at the end of the first quarter 2025.

1.2 Development of earnings

Operating earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT before non-operating income and expenses) rose by 4.7% to EUR 7.9 million in the first half of 2025, compared with EUR 7.5 million in the same period of the previous year. This corresponds to an operating EBIT margin of 14.7% based on revenue (06/2024: 14.6%).

The earnings performance reflects various positive effects, such as a growing contribution of highmargin products to revenue growth, further efficiency gains in production, and ongoing optimizations in purchasing. This is also reflected in a further significant decline in the cost of materials ratio and only a moderate increase in the personnel cost ratio. In addition, EBIT in the first half of 2025 includes two negative special effects that were not included in the 2024 financial year. These comprise a currency loss from Asia (weak Yuan) of EUR 0.4 million and the costs for setting up the Morocco site, which were consolidated for the first time, of EUR 0.3 million. On a like-for-like basis (adjusted for these effects), operating EBIT would have amounted to EUR 8.6 million. The margin increase that was nevertheless achieved reflects the focus on higher-margin revenue. In addition, moderate price adjustments were offset by efficiency gains and higher overall sales volumes.

The rise in wage and salary costs due to inflation, the increase in volume, and the expansion of the workforce at the new location in Morocco led to a moderately higher personnel cost ratio (measured in terms of operating performance) of 35.4% in the first half of 2025, compared with 34.9% in the previous year.

The cost of materials ratio (measured in terms of operating performance) amounted to 27.6% as of 30 June 2025 (06/2024: 29.6%). This improvement reflects the ongoing efficiency gains, particularly in purchasing.

Other expenses rose significantly by 14.7% from EUR 8.5 million in the previous year to EUR 9.8 million in the first half of 2025. This was mainly due to higher freight and packaging costs, higher energy costs, and two special effects: the devaluation of the Yuan and expenses related to the establishment of the site in Morocco.

Depreciation and amortization increased slightly to EUR 2.7 million compared to EUR 2.6 million in the same period of the previous year, which is attributable to production expansions and replacement investments implemented in financial year 2024.

Financing costs declined significantly by 22.8% to EUR 0.5 million (06/2024: EUR 0.7 million). This improvement is attributable to scheduled repayments of financial liabilities amounting to EUR 1.1 million, a more favorable interest rate environment (EURIBOR) and improved credit terms as a result of the restructuring of the Group's financing in September 2024.

The consolidated net income attributable to Masterflex SE shareholders in the first six months of the current financial year was slightly above the previous year's level at EUR 4.9 million (06/2024: EUR 4.8 million). Consolidated earnings per share improved slightly by 2.0% to EUR 0.51 in the reporting period (after EUR 0.50 in the comparable prior-year period).

Net Assets of the Group

The increase in total assets by EUR 1.4 million to EUR 95.3 million as of 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: EUR 93.9 million) is mainly attributable to the increase in trade receivables by EUR 4.6 million on the assets side and to the increase in equity due to the profit development on the liabilities side. In contrast, plant, and equipment, cash and cash equivalents, and inventories each declined slightly.

The Masterflex Group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 10.3 million as of 30 June 2025, EUR 1.3 million below the year-end closing date (31 December 2024: EUR 11.6 million), which is primarily attributable to the distribution of dividends in the amount of EUR 2.6 million.

Due to the Masterflex Group's continued positive earnings situation and despite the dividend distribution, equity increased by EUR 1.4 million to EUR 64.9 million as of 30 June 2025 compared to the 2024 balance sheet date. This corresponds to an equity ratio of 68.2% as of 30 June 2025, compared to 67.7% as of 31 December 2024.

Financial Position of the Group

Net debt amounted to EUR 9.1 million as of 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: EUR 9.0 million). Although cash and cash equivalents declined, debt was reduced by almost the same amount. The ratio of net debt to operating EBITDA remained constant at 0.49.

Current and non-current financial liabilities amounted to EUR 19.4 million as of 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: EUR 20.5 million).

Cash flow development in the first half of 2025 was significantly influenced by the increase in trade receivables and the dividend distribution on the one hand, and by lower income tax expenses and a reduction in inventories on the other. Cash flow from investing activities for the first half of 2025 was almost unchanged from the previous year and amounted to around EUR 1.3 million (previous year: EUR 1.4 million). The payment of the 2024 financial year in the amount of EUR 2.6 million (EUR 0.27 per share), interest expenses of EUR 0.42 million (previous year: EUR 0.58 million) and payments for lease liabilities of EUR 0.88 million (previous year: EUR 0.59 million) shaped the development of cash flow from financing activities, which at EUR -3.9 million was significantly weaker than the previous year's figure (EUR -2.0 million).

Employees

The number of employees as of 30 June was 601 (31 December 2024: 601).

Research and Development

In the first half of 2025, our development work continued to focus in particular on customerspecific development projects.

Opportunity and Risk Report

The management system for recording opportunities and the measures to limit risks were described in detail in the summarized management report 2024. In addition, the main opportunities and risks arising for the Masterflex Group in the course of its business activities were also explained there. There were no changes to this opportunity and risk situation in the first half of 2025.

Outlook

Thanks to a successful first half of 2025 and despite the volatile global economic outlook predicted by economic institutes as a result of international tariffs and trade conflicts as well as the geopolitical situation, the Masterflex Group is confident about the rest of the year. The company is aiming for growth in all customer industries in 2025 as a whole, with disproportionately high opportunities among customers in the medical technology and aviation business.

In addition to general growth expectations, this positive assessment is also based on companyspecific factors: the ongoing vertical integration of the product portfolio, the consistent development into a system provider, the expansion of the product range, and isolated special projects are contributing to strategic strengthening. Although the expansion of capacities in the aviation business through the establishment of an additional location in Morocco will have an impact on costs in 2025, the Management Board expects the Masterflex Group to be able to maintain its high margin level in 2025 as well.

The Masterflex Group's Management Board confirms the existing annual forecast for 2025 and continues to expect to generate revenue in the range of EUR 100 million to EUR 105 million. The Management Board continues to anticipate EBIT in the range of EUR 12 million to EUR 15 million.

3. Financial instruments

The accounting treatment of fixed asset securities measured at fair value and forward transactions is explained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the 2025 Annual Report under points 3b and 16.

The market value of securities held as fixed assets totalled EUR 89 thousand. In the first half of the year, increases in market value amounting to EUR 3 thousand were recognized directly in equity. The securities held as fixed assets are allocated to level 1 as input factors with quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

The market value of the forward exchange transactions concluded for a total of USD 3,360 thousand amounted to EUR 114 thousand on the balance sheet date and was recognized under financial liabilities. The change in the forward component was recognized in other comprehensive income as a change in the value of the hedging instrument and amounts to EUR 403 thousand before netting with deferred taxes. The fair value of the forward exchange transaction is calculated on the basis of the interest rate difference between the eurozone and the USA compared to the contracted forward exchange rate. The forward exchange transaction was allocated to level 2.

As at 30 June 2025, the amount recognized in the reserve for hedging instruments was EUR 114 thousand less deferred taxes.

There were no reclassifications between Level 2 in the half-year under review.

For trade receivables measured at amortized cost, other current financial assets and cash equivalents, the carrying amount corresponds to the fair value.

For trade payables and other current liabilities, the carrying amount corresponds to the fair value. The fair value of liabilities to banks corresponds to the stated carrying amount.

4. Dividend

On 12 June 2025, the Annual General Meeting of Masterflex SE approved the payment of a dividend of EUR 0.27 per share. The distribution of a total of EUR 2,596,950.18 was made on 17 June 2025.

5. Segment Reporting

The Masterflex Group organizes its operating segments in accordance with the criteria of IFRS 8. Management is based on the information that the Management Board as Chief Operating Decision Maker receives for performance measurement and resource allocation for the entire Masterflex Group (management approach).

There have been no changes in the segmentation basis compared to the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2024. The Masterflex Group reports one operating segment, the core Hightech Hose Systems (HTS) business unit.

6. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated in accordance with IAS 33 by dividing the consolidated net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. As at 30 June 2025, basic earnings per share amounted to EUR 0.51 with a weighted average number of shares of 9,618,334.

As there is no share option program, the calculation of diluted earnings is not applicable.

7. Treasury shares

As at 30 June 2025, Masterflex SE held 134,126 treasury shares.

8. Employees

The number of employees in the reporting period was 601, 0.8 % below the previous year's figure of 606.

9. Income taxes

The income tax expense in the half-year financial report was calculated based on the estimated effective tax rate for Masterflex SE for the full year 2025, which was based on the pre-tax result for the reporting period. The effective tax rate is based on current earnings and tax planning.

10. Cash flow statement

The consolidated cash flow statement has been prepared in accordance with IAS 7 ("Cash Flow Statements"). A distinction is made between cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities. The liquidity recognized in the cash flow statement corresponds to the balance sheet item "Cash and cash equivalents".

11. Relationships with related companies and persons

The relationships are explained in the 2024 Annual Report in the notes to the consolidated financial statements under item 33.

12. Special aspects of the financial year in connection with the war in Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East

The presentation of the net assets, financial position and results of operations in the interim financial statements is dependent on recognition and measurement methods as well as assumptions and estimates. All assumptions and estimates are made to the best of our knowledge and belief and are reviewed on an ongoing basis. This applies in particular with regard to the possible effects of the war in Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East.

As things stand, the war in Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East will not have any serious impact on the development of the Masterflex Group. However, this could change dramatically if the war intensifies and expands.

13. Auditor's review of the interim report

The interim financial statements and the interim management report were neither audited in accordance with Section 317 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) nor reviewed by an auditor.

14. Responsibility statement

To the best of our knowledge, and in accordance with the applicable reporting principles for interim financial reporting, the interim consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Group, and the interim management report of the Group includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the Group, together with a description of the principal opportunities and risks associated with the expected development of the Group for the remaining months of the financial year.
