THE CEO'S COMMENTS ON Q2

Net sales during Q2 amounted to SEK 266 (264) million, corresponding to growth of 1 percent, which means the first quarter of organic growth for the Group since Q1 2023. Adjusted EBITA during the quarter amounted to SEK 19 million (7 percent), slightly up on the previous year (SEK 18 million, 7 percent).

Stable net sales

Five of twelve subsidiaries showed growth during the quarter which began weakly, affected by the global trade turbulence that led to a cautious attitude among the subsidiaries' customers. The market improved at the end of the quarter and ten of twelve subsidiaries recorded growth in June. Borö-Pannan showed signs of recovery compared with a weak comparative quarter, and SolidEngineer also showed strong growth. Nordbutiker's net sales decreased by 8 percent, mainly as a result of a very weak April, when consumer confidence was at a record low, but the recovery in June proved to be strong. For the subsidiaries within the construction sector and the ROT/renovation, an increase in activity levels was apparent among customers, along with a more positive future outlook, and our assessment is that we have now reached a plateau from which we can grow.

Improved results driven by implemented measures

The focus on profitability is continuing and delivered effects during the quarter. During Q2, the gross margin improved by two percentage points to 48 (46) percent and seven of twelve companies showed improvement. Of particular note is Nordbutiker, which increased its gross margin by 5 percentage points as a result of active work on procurement and pricing, thereby improving its earnings despite lower net sales. SolidEngineer showed strong earnings growth driven by good cost control under new leadership. The cost base is stable, and we need growth and further gross margin improvement in order to drive earnings growth. We are reviewing and discontinuing unprofitable business, which is expected to increase margins, reduce tied-up capital and release resources for areas where we want to grow.

Strong cash flow, extended financing agreement and value-creating real estate transaction

Cash flow from operating activities was strong during Q2 at SEK 30 (40) million. The comparative period was positively affected by the reduction in excess stock within Nordbutiker. The process of reducing our working capital structurally is continuing. At the end of the quarter, net debt amounted to SEK 208 (199) million, while the debt ratio (net debt/EBITDA) amounted to 3.8x including the tax deferral, and 2.9x excluding it. In May, Seafire extended the existing financing agreement with a major Nordic bank by a further year (to Q1 2027). The extension entails amended covenants and unamended (good) commercial terms and conditions.

In July, Pexymek signed an agreement to divest its production real estate to Logistri. The valuation is attractive, and we consider it good capital allocation to create flexibility for investments in the core business and add-on acquisitions.

"Measures delivers results in both P&L and balance sheet. Initiatives to strengthen margins are continuing. Extended financing agreement and impending real estate sale increases the Group's financial flexibility."

New management team and governance model

In August, Per Bodén and Keivan Cherloo took up their new roles as CFO and COO respectively. In Per and Keivan, we are taking onboard individuals with strong profiles and a strategic perspective combined with an interest in entrepreneurship and operational issues. We have also implemented the final stages of the previously communicated changes to our governance model in order to accelerate business development; board work is being simplified and, in connection with this, we have thanked external board members in subsidiaries for their service.

Strong and motivated leaders and employees in subsidiaries are key to Seafire's success. During the year, we have concluded and begun a number of successions. We are pleased to be able to attract strong new leaders. It is also pleasing to see broad participation in Seafire's warrant program approved by the AGM - a fully subscribed program is testament of the belief among key personnel in the Group's potential going forward.

Future prospects – further uncertainty, some optimism

The economic situation remains uncertain, with considerable turbulence in the global economy. Seafire is primarily exposed to the Swedish economy which has long been weak. We began the year with a hypothesis of a gradual strengthening of the economy, the timing of which has gradually been pushed forward. Whether a strong June is a sign of a turning point is as yet unclear, but we are seeing increasing activity levels among the customers of subsidiaries, which will hopefully translate into increased business volumes going forward. We continue to work actively to drive profitability and cash flow, and are continuing to work on potential additional acquisitions. The most important piece in the puzzle - great people - is in place and I look forward to an active fall with the team and its new members. I would like to thank all the Group's employees for their hard work so far this year, as well as the shareholders for your continued commitment to Seafire.

Daniel Repfennig President and CEO

THE GROUP'S PERFORMANCE

Net sales

Q2

During the quarter, net sales increased by 1 percent to SEK 266 million, compared with SEK 264 million during the same period in the previous year. As no acquisitions have been made since Q1 2023, the increase in net sales was entirely organic. This positive development is mainly attributable to strong demand in SolidEngineer and Borö-Pannan's markets.

The period January – June

During the period, net sales decreased by 2 percent to SEK 473 million, compared with SEK 482 million during the same period in the previous year. As no acquisitions have been made since Q1 2023, the decline in net sales was entirely organic. This negative development is mainly attributable to weak demand in Ludafarm and DOFAB, while strong demand in SolidEngineer and Borö-Pannan partly offset the negative development.

Gross margin

Q2

The gross margin amounted to 46 (44) percent during the quarter. The increase in the gross margin is due to implemented measures, including price adjustments and procurement negotiations. Nordbutiker is the main driver behind the improved margin.

Auditor's review

This report has not been subject to review by the auditors.

Long-term incentive program

The AGM held on April 24 decided, in accordance with the Board's proposal, to adopt a long-term incentive program for certain managers within the Seafire Group, through which warrants will be issued free of charge to the Company, which will then transfer the warrants to the participants at the warrants' market value.

The allocation of warrants is conditional on the participants, on registration for participation in the program, owning the number of shares in the Company that corresponds to 10 or 20 percent of the number of shares they can be allocated within the framework of the program, based on their participant category.

The program has been fully subscribed, which means that a total of 960,000 warrants have been issued to enable allocation, which corresponds to approx. 2.2 percent of the shares outstanding in the Company. Shares can be subscribed for with the support of warrants during a period of one week which will commence on the day after the Company publishes the interim report for Q1 in the 2028 financial year, and during a period of one week which will commence on the day after the Company publishes its interim report for Q2 in the 2028 financial year.

NOTES

Note 1. Accounting policies

Seafire AB (publ) applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable provisions of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Annual Accounts Act. Information in accordance with IAS 34.16A is disclosed both in the financial statements and their associated notes and elsewhere in the interim report. The accounting policies are consistent with the policies that were applied in the previous financial year. For more information on these, see Note G1 in the 2024 Consolidated Annual Report. The interim report should be read together with the 2024 Annual Report. Preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires Group management to make accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual outcome may differ from these estimates and judgments. For information on the Company's critical judgments and sources of uncertainty, see the Group's 2024 Annual Report.

Note 2. Risks and uncertainties

For a description of the Group's material risks and uncertainties, see the detailed statement in the 2024 Annual Report. No material new or changed risks or uncertainties have been identified since the publication of the 2024 Annual Report. The Parent Company's risks are covered by the description presented for the Group. The effects of the war in Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East are such that the Company is unable to make reasonable advance assessments of the effects on the Company's operations and financial performance. The Company's management and Board are monitoring developments in the ongoing trade and tariffs dispute between the USA and the rest of the world. Seafire has very limited exposure to the American market, but can be indirectly affected by changes in consumer behavior. Higher inflation and higher prices of input goods will impact demand for goods and services provided by Seafire's subsidiaries.

Financial liabilities at fair value by valuation hierarchy level

The fair value and carrying amount are recognized in the balance sheet in accordance with the table above. For listed securities, the fair value is determined based on the asset's quoted price in an active market, level 1. The fair value of foreign exchange contracts and embedded derivatives is determined based on observable market inputs, level 2. For contingent consideration, a cash flow-based measurement is carried out which is not based on observable market inputs, level 3.

Note 6. Contingent consideration

Contingent consideration is variable, based on the companies' earnings growth, and is determined based on future earnings growth for each company, based on management's best assessment and forecasts. Contingent consideration is recognized at fair value. Reversed contingent consideration is recognized on the line Other income, and contingent consideration remeasurement due to changed discounting is recognized on the line Finance costs.

Note 7. Alternative performance measures

In this interim report Seafire presents certain financial measures that are not defined under IFRS. These are referred to as alternative performance measures. The Company believes that these APMs provide valuable additional information for stakeholders and investors, as they offer a different perspective on financial performance and financial position.

The table below contains definitions of Seafire's performance measures. The calculation is shown separately below.
