Foreword by the Executive Board to the 2025 Half-Year Report

Johannes Linden Dr. Konstantin Kurfiss

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Shareholders,

The first half of 2025 was a milestone in PFISTERER's history: On May 14, 2025, we successfully went public on the Scale segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The order book was significantly oversubscribed – a strong sign of confidence in our strategy and future viability. With proceeds from the IPO of around €90 million, we have laid the financial foundation for targeted investments in the expansion of our production capacities in Germany and abroad, the introduction of new solutions to complement our existing portfolio and expansion into selected markets, as well as the development of innovative HVDC technologies.

We are very satisfied with the operational development in the first half of the year. Order intake once again recorded significant growth, which is reflected in all regions and in all of PFISTERER's product segments. This momentum not only strengthens the positive business development, but also creates impetus for the consistent further development of the high-margin HVA segment, complemented by the additional growth prospects in MVA.

We have further strengthened our international presence: the site in Saudi Arabia is being expanded in order to consolidate our position in the Middle East in a targeted manner. In addition, the acquisition of our long-standing partner Power CSL in the UK has expanded our technological expertise in the fast-growing future market of subsea connection technology.

Overall, we are benefiting from a positive market environment characterized by the global energy transition and the increasing demand for high-performance connection technology.

We would like to thank all our employees whose commitment has made this success possible, and we look forward to continuing to shape the future of energy infrastructure together.

Kind regards,

Johannes Linden Co-CEO and Speaker, PFISTERER Holding SE

Economy

Global enconomy

The global economy will remain under pressure in 2025: According to the OECD, the global GDP growth will decline from 3.3% in 2024 to 2.9% in 2025 and 2026, affected by trade risks and political uncertainties1. Germany is expected to remain stable with 0% growth in 2025, although the ifo Institute is already forecasting a 0.3% increase in German GDP and expects a moderate increase of 1.5% in 2026, backed up by government infrastructure packages2. The economies of industrialized and emerging countries are developing in different ways: While growth is driving the US, China and India, the eurozone remains comparatively less expansive, with a growth of less than 1%3.

Market environment

Despite some project delays in the offshore wind sector, the global energy industry continues to develop dynamically4. While current industry estimates indicate that short-term growth in the offshore wind sector will be more moderate in some regions, including North America, there are also signs of significant investment momentum in the general energy infrastructure sector. Particularly in the Middle East and North America, a significant expansion of the power grid infrastructure is expected in order to meet the increasing electrification and rising demand for electricity, for example from data centers5. Considering the 1.5°C target, leading energy organizations forecast that global investment in power grid capacity will double to US\$ 600 billion per year and that the expansion of renewable generation capacity will remain high until 2030.

Business performance

The PFISTERER Group continued its positive business development in the first half of 2025 and increased its sales while maintaining high gross margins. This made it possible to more than compensate for the additional direct and indirect expenses incurred by the IPO, which is ultimately reflected in increased earnings figures.

Order intake increased significantly compared to the first half of 2024 and grew by € 89.6 million up to € 290.2 million. Growth was recorded in all product segments and regions.

The order backlog reached a new high of € 312.5 million as of June 30, 2025. This already extends partially into 2026 and thus provides a solid foundation for the positive development of the company.

Revenue amounted to € 213.6 million and was consequently € 18.5 million above the previous year. The HVA and MVA product segments contributed particularly to this increase.

In line with the higher sales revenues, the strength of the business was particularly evident in an improved gross profit. The gross margin increased by 3.1 percentage points compared to the same period last year, which was primarily due to the good business development in the Middle East and India. The relocation of production facilities to Kadan (CZ) caused by the fire in Wunsiedel, was completed in the first half of 2025.

Despite higher consulting costs due to the successful IPO in May this year (which were recognized in the income statement with an amount of EUR 1.4 million) as well as higher sales and development costs to ensure growth, EBITDA developed positively (+ € 4.0 million compared to the previous year).

Following the first quarter of 2025, the PFISTERER Group implemented several strategically important measures. The acquisition of Power Cable Services Limited (Power CSL) was successfully completed at the beginning of April. With this acquisition, the Group is specifically expanding its service portfolio to include solutions in the field of un-derwater applications.

Another milestone was reached with the successful IPO on May 14, 2025. This step strengthens the company's financial base and forms an important foundation for the further implementation of its growth strategy.

Earnings situation

Consolidated revenue for the first half of the year was significantly higher than the previous year's figure (2024: € 195.1 million) at € 213.6 million.

The cost of sales amounted to € 123.6 million (2024: € 118.9 million). This resulted in a gross profit of € 90.0 million for the first half of the year, corresponding to an improved gross margin of 42.1 % (2024: € 76.2 million respectively 39.0 %.

Marketing and sales costs amounted to € 29.3 million in the first half of the year 2025 and thus, increased by 15.2 % compared to the same period last year (2024: € 25.5 million). This was mainly due to higher personnel costs.

Research and development costs increased by € 1.7 million compared to the previous period up to € 11.8 million (2024: € 10.0 million). On a percentage basis, this represents an increase of the research and development costs by 17.3 % compared to the same period last year.

Administrative expenses amounted to € 20.2 million in the first half of 2025 (2024: € 15.8 million). The increase is mainly due to higher personnel and consulting costs.

Other income and expenses amounted to an income of € 1.6 million in the first half of the year (2024: € 1.7 million).

The financial result improved by € 0.9 million compared to the same period last year. This is mainly due to a lower utilization of the credit line from the syndicated loan agreement in 2025.

EBITDA improved by 12.2 % or € 4.0 million in the first six months of 2025 up to € 36.8 million (2024: € 32.8 million).

EBITDA adjusted for personnel expenses related to the one-time IPO-related virtual stock option program increased by € 4.6 million to € 39.5 million (2024: € 34.9 million).

In the first half of 2025, the Group reported positive earnings before taxes (EBT) of € 28.8 million (2024: € 24.2 million). Thus, earnings per share amounted to € 1.38 at the end of the half-year (2024: € 1.13).

The consolidated net income for the first half of 2025 amounted to € 21.8 million (2024: € 16.4 million).

In the HVA segment, revenue rose by 18.4 % to € 85.9 million in the first half of 2025 (2024: € 72.6 million). The MVA segment recorded positive development with an increase of 23.8 % and achieved revenue of € 28.8 million (2024:€ 23.3 million). Revenue in the COM segment remained at the previous year's level at € 50.1 million (+0.1 %) (2024: € 50.0 million), as did OHL at € 48.8 million (-0.9 %) (2024: € 49.2 million).

Gross profit improved by 18.2 % compared to the previous year from € 76.2 million to € 90.0 million, with the HVA and OHL product segments being the main drivers. The HVA segment recorded growth of 16.6 % from € 32.7 million to € 38.2 million, and OHL grew by 32.2 % from € 16.0 million to € 21.1 million.

The gross margin of the HVA segment is at 44.4 %, and was almost at the previous year's level (45.1 %), while MVA and COM recorded slightly higher margins. The gross margin in the OHL segment improved significantly compared to the previous year (32.5 %) to 43.4 %, which was due, among other things, to lower cost of sales at the Kadan production site.

The EBITDA margin rose from 16.8 % in the first half of 2024 to 17.2 %. The increase is mainly due to the MVA (+50.3 % from € 2.7 million to € 4.1 million) and OHL (+175.2 % from € 4.1 million to € 11.2 million) segments and was supported by insurance payments to compensate for additional expenses in connection with the fire at the Wunsiedel site.

Regarding the regions, revenue growth was highest in the Middle East and India, with an increase of 49.7 % respectively € 15 million, up to € 46.8 million compared to the same period last year (€ 31.2 million). This was followed by Europe and Africa as well as North and South America. The Asia-Pacific region was slightly below the previous year's figure. In terms of the Group's overall result (EBITDA), Europe and Africa as well as the Middle East and India made the largest contributions.

Financial position

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to € 0.5 million (2024: € 33.2 million). This decline is mainly due to a sales-related increase in receivables and inventories, which were built up for future order processing. Inventories reflect the positive development of the order situation and preparatory work for upcoming orders.

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to € -18.0 million (2024: € -7.2 million). The increase in cash outflows is due on the one hand to significantly higher investments in property, plant and equipment and on the other hand to the acquisition of the Power CSL Group.

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to € 72.9 million as a result of the IPO, which took place on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on May 14, 2025 (2024: € -19.5 million). A total of 3.5 million new shares were placed at an issue price of € 27.00 as part of the IPO. The gross issue proceeds amounted to € 94.5 million. The transaction costs relating to the issue of shares amounted € 5.7 million. The dividend payment to shareholders had the opposite effect. In the previous year, a loan repayment was the main influencing factor.

Taking into account exchange rate changes of € -0.7 million (2024: € 1.8 million), cash and cash equivalents amounted to € 64.9 million at the end of the first half of the year (2024: € 14.5 million).

During the IPO, 55% of employees acquired shares in the company. Where legally permissible, PFISTERER promoted the acquisition of shares by means of reduced acquisition conditions.

Net assets

The Group´s equity increased significantly to € 172.0 million as at June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: € 83.7 million) as a result of the IPO. In relation to the consolidated balance sheet total of € 338.3 million, the equity ratio was 50.8 %.

Net working capital rose to € 120.7 million in the first half of the year (December 31, 2024: € 98.9 million) due to the increase in sales and the resulting rise in receivables as well as an increase in inventories.

Taking into accountant the economic conditions in the reporting period, the development of the PFISTERER Group´s net assets, financial position and results of operations is at the upper end of expectations.

Employees

During the first half of the year from January 1 to June 30, 2025, the Group employed an average of 1,288 people (2024: 1,200).

As at June 30, 2025, the Group employed 1,316 people (December 31, 2024: 1,239).

Risk and opportunity report

The opportunities and risks for the business development of the PFISTERER Group are described in the Group management report for the 2024 financial year, which is available on our website at www.pfisterer.com.

Since May 2025, PFISTERER has been subject to additional regulatory and legal obligations that could be breached due to its stock market listing. The Group is countering this risk by establishing appropriate internal structures in conjunction with extensive training measures for management by experts in the field. PFISTERER considers the risk to be relevant.

The other risk assessment remains unchanged compared to the previous Group management report, although the risk-bearing capacity is considered to have improved significantly.

Forecast report

Based on the orders received in the first half of the year and continued positive signals from the market the Executive Board expects order intake and sales to continue to develop at the upper end of expectations in the 2025 financial year.

In the medium term, we see the development of the adjusted EBITA margin in the high teens as confirmed.

Reporting entity

PFISTERER Holding SE, with its registered office at Rosenstraße 44, 73650 Winterbach, Germany, is the parent company of the PFISTERER Group (hereinafter referred to as "PFISTERER" or "the Group"), which consists of the parent company and its subsidiaries. PFISTERER Holding SE is registered in the commercial register of the Stuttgart District Court under the number HRB 790497.

PFISTERER is a leading global independent manufacturer of cable fittings, insulators for overhead lines, and asso-ciated components for sensitive interfaces in energy networks and (renewable) energy generation.

Basis of preparation

The accounting policies and valuation methods applied are consistent with those applied in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024. As of January 01, 2025, in the scope of IAS 21, amendments regarding the accounting for lack of exchangeability of currencies became effective. The amendment is mandatorily applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after that date. During the reporting period, there were no restrictions on the exchangeability of the currencies used.

The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period.

Seasonal business

The business performance of PFISTERER does not follow a regular seasonality or cyclicality of results that affect the unaudited interim condensed financial statements. However, the results of the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full financial year ending De-cember 31, 2025.

Business combinations

On April 02, 2025, PFISTERER acquired 100% of the shares in PCS Holdings UK Limited and its operating subsidiary Power Cable Services Limited, a technical specialist company providing products and services for the connection of submarine cables to the global offshore industry. The UK-based engineering company has been a long-standing business partner of PFISTERER, with a cooperation history of more than ten years. This strategic acquisition strengthens PFISTERERs market position in electrical connectivity and enables the Company to expand its portfolio to include solutions for subsea applications.

Consideration transferred

The consideration transferred for the acquisition of PCS Holdings UK Limited amounts to € 9,323 thousand, consisting mainly of a cash payment of € 7,399 thousand.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising from the acquisition was determined as follows:

€ thousand 2.4.2025
Consideration transferred 9,323
Fair value of identifiable net assets acquired 3,406
Goodwill 5,917

Goodwill is recognized within intangible assets and mainly arises from the gain in market share as well as the expected synergies from the combination of product and service offerings.

Revenue and profit contribution

In the three months ended June 30, 2025, PCS Holding UK Limited, together with its operating subsidiary Power Cable Services Limited, contributed revenue of € 801 thousand and profit of € 65 thousand to the Group's results.

If the acquisition had occurred on January 01, 2025, the Group's revenue for the period from January 01 to June 30, 2025, would have been € 214.4 million and profit € 22.0 million, according to management's estimates. In determining these amounts, management assumed that the preliminary adjustments to the fair values made at the acquisition date would have been the same had the acquisition occurred on January 01, 2025.

Share-based payment arrangements

Description of the share-based payment agreements and fair value measurement

As part of an option program, PFISTERER Holding SE grants selected beneficiary employees options that, if exercised, entitle them to receive shares in the parent company. As part of the IPO, PFISTERER made an oneoff decision to settle the first tranche of the option program in cash and not in treasury shares.

The options granted under the program are subject to a service condition so that they become non-forfeitable. Participation in the option program is at the discretion of the Management Board or, for Management Board members, at the discretion of the Supervisory Board. None of the beneficiary employees are contractually obliged to participate in the program or entitled to guarantee benefits from the option program.

The virtual options do not accrue to the beneficiaries directly from the grant date, but vest depending on the period of service and an exercise event.

The options are granted free of charge and do not include any dividend or voting rights. Each option can be exercised up to 30 days after the end of the corresponding period on which it vests. The exercise price of the options was set at € 3.

As at January 1, 2025, the number of options amounted to 875,714. In the financial year 2025, 40,035 options expired due to the termination of employment of beneficiaries. In the same period, 40,034 new options were granted to beneficiaries.

The share options outstanding as at June 30, 2025 have fair values of between € 11.17 and € 11.48, depending on the grant date. The average remaining term is 0.75 years.

The share of the capital reserve attributable to share-based payments amounted to € 2,585 thousand as at June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: € 4,828 thousand).

The fair values at the grant date are determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. The Monte Carlo model is based on the exercise price, the goodwill at the grant date, the term of the options, the expected dividends, the risk-free interest rate and the expected volatility. The expected volatility was determined on the basis of the remaining terms of the individual tranches via a peer group.

Events after the reporting date

On August 5, 2025, PFISTERER Holding SE received the building permit for the planned high-voltage laboratory at the company headquarters in Winterbach, Germany. Construction work began immediately.

Additional guarantee lines were set up in July based on the good order intake.

Approval of the consolidated financial statements

To the best of our knowledge, and in accordance with the applicable reporting principles for 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.
