Cash position benefits from share capital increase upon successful IPO and ATHEX listing. The net IPO proceeds were €47 million, out of which more than €10 million have been allocated to investments already (22% invested within the first two months vs 18 months deadline) and €2 million for working capital improvement again as per IPO plan.

Cash position excluding the remaining IPO proceeds at

Segments: Well Diversified and Resilient Revenue Streams

We have a stable geographical contribution for H1 2025 compared to H1 2024 and FY 2024; we expect the international contribution to revenues to increase in the second half.. Platforms as a Service continues to lead revenue and profitability growth.

Energy & Utilities revenue contribution has decreased below < 50% aligning with the target for increased group diversification. The Public sector is a new notable revenue contributor.

ESG Update: Group Already Adhering to ATHEX ESG Requirements

Since 2021, Qualco Group has published standalone Sustainability Reports, earned multiple ESG awards — including recognition among the Most Sustainable Companies 2024 (Quality Net Foundation) — and is a proud signatory of the UN Global Compact.

€89m H1 2025 We are driving measurable progress with targets on energy reduction (linked to employee bonuses), responsible e-waste management, and gender diversity, aiming for at least 40% women across our workforce and in senior leadership by 2030.

Definition of financial data, ratios used and alternative performance measures

The 2025 Half Year Financial Results contains financial information and measures as derived from the Group's financial statements for the six months period ended 30 June 2025 and 2024 for the year ended 31 December 2024, with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as endorsed by the EU. Additionally, it contains certain alternative performance measures ("APMs") as defined in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/979 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards on key financial information, in the context of our as a normal part of our financial and management reporting.

Such measures include: (i) EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, (ii) Adjusted EBITDA margin, (iii) LTM Adjusted EBITDA, (iv) net debt excluding SCI Net Proceeds, (v) net debt excluding SCI Net Proceeds to Adjusted EBITDA ratio and net debt, excluding SCI Net Proceeds, (excl. leases) to Adjusted EBITDA ratio, (vi) Gross profit margin, (vii) CAPEX and (viii) other Key Ratios (Liquidity Ratios, Leverage Ratio and Equity Ratio).

The table below sets out a definition of each of the ratios and other data above.

Metrics Definition
Total Current Assets/Total Assets Total current assets over total assets indicates how much of that portion of total assets is occupied by the current assets.
Total Current Assets/Total Current Liabilities Total current assets over total current liabilities indicates the ability of the company to meet its current liabilities with
current
(current ratio) assets.
Net Debt/Equity Net debt, excluding SCI Net Proceeds, over total equity indicates the degree to which a company is financing its operations with
debt rather than its own resources.
Net Debt (excl. SCI & leases)/Equity Net debt, excluding SCI Net Proceeds, without leases over total equity indicates the degree to which a company is financing its
operations with debt rather than its own resources, after excluding the effect of lease liabilities.
Net Debt Net debt, excluding SCI Net Proceeds, is a financial metric used to measure the net debt position, representing current and non
current elements of borrowings, government grants related to debt, and lease liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents. Also,
the effect of the Share Capital Increase ("SCI") is deducted for comparability purposes. We believe it is a relevant metric used
by
investors when assessing the net financial leverage of companies, as well as by rating agencies and creditors to assess the level
of net indebtedness. For the reconciliation table, see below "—Net debt".
Adjusted EBITDA Defined as net profit/(loss) plus income tax expense, net finance income/expenses and depreciation and amortization, less
share of results of associates, less gains and losses, less share-based payments, and less reorganisation and other expenses. For
the reconciliation table, see below "—Adjusted EBITDA".
LTM Adjusted EBITDA Defined as Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months. For the reconciliation table, see below "—LTM Adjusted EBITDA".
Net debt to adjusted EBITDA Net debt, excluding SCI Net Proceeds, to adjusted EBITDA ratio measures our ability to service or repay our debt if Net debt and
adjusted EBITDA remain constant.
Net debt (excl. SCI & leases) to adjusted Net debt, excluding SCI Net Proceeds, without leases to adjusted EBITDA ratio measures our ability to service or repay our debt
EBITDA ratio if net debt and adjusted EBITDA remain constant, after excluding the effect of lease liabilities.
Adjusted EBITDA margin Defined as Adjusted EBITDA margin measures adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. For the reconciliation table, see
below "—Adjusted EBITDA margin".
Core operating profit Stands for operating profit excluding reorganisational and other expenses
Gross profit margin Gross profit over revenue.
CAPEX Stands for Capital Expenditures

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA serves as an additional indicator of our operating performance and not as a replacement for measures such as cash flows from operating activities and operating income. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as a measure of operating performance because it eliminates variances caused by the amounts and types of capital employed and amortization policies, as well as other non-cash or non-recurring items and helps investors evaluate the performance of our underlying business. In addition, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a measure commonly used by analysts and investors in our industry. Accordingly, we have disclosed this information to permit a more complete analysis of our operating performance. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA in a different way. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered an alternative to cash flow provided by or used in operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net profit/(loss) as an indicator of our operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net profit plus income tax (benefit)/expense, net finance (income)/expenses, and depreciation and amortization, less share of results of associates, less share-based payments expense, and less restructuring and other. The reconciliation of net profit/ (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

In € million H1 2025 H2 2024 FY 2024
Profit / (loss) (5) 2 16
