CEO letter

"We firmly believe our investments in our own channels will strengthen customer loyalty."

In the third quarter we continued to execute on our transformation to make Tele2 a faster, leaner and stronger company. The improved cost base – supported by solid top line growth in the Baltics and Sweden Business – is reflected in the strong Underlying EBITDAaL growth of 11% in the third quarter.

Our strict approach to cost and priorities implemented end of last year is now deeply integrated into the company culture and our daily operations. That means we are now able to gradually increase our efforts to optimise our teams, automate our processes and launch growth initiatives within the business units, ensuring that we invest where it matters most to our customers.

We are particularly determined to reduce the artificial churn that we observe in the consumer market. Today's distribution structure encourages customers in Sweden to switch operators frequently. While this frictionless process has clear advantages, it also opens the door to questionable sales practices and increases the risk of impulsive switches – as reflected in the Consumer Agency's criticism of telemarketing. We firmly believe that our continued investments in our own channels – stores, online and phone – will deepen relationships and strengthen customer satisfaction and loyalty. As part of this strategy, we decided during the quarter to end our partnership with one of the major third-party retailers in Sweden, a clear signal of the direction we are taking. The same approach is applied in B2B, where we have already made a significant step forward by reducing the number of sales partners by around 60%. This allows us to focus on fewer, higher-quality partners with much closer follow-up.

Our ability to drive traffic to our own channels has improved with the re-birth of the advertising icon Frank the sheep. In a market crowded with sameness, Frank has brought back Tele2's distinctive challenger personality, improving our cut through in the advertising noise significantly. Combined with strong demand for the redesigned iPhone, this new positioning led to our most successful iPhone launch since 2016 in terms of first-week sales volumes, with the share of sales through our own channels continuing to grow steadily.

Ultimately, quality and value for money are the key drivers of loyalty. That's why the third quarter marked such an important milestone when we enabled 5G across our entire Swedish network, now reaching 99.9% of the population. With the shutdown of our 2G/3G network coming in December, we can focus all efforts on one efficient network and continue to realise our ambition of building Sweden's best 5G network. Independent benchmark firm Open Signal has already recognised this progress, naming Tele2 the global leader in 5G video experience.

Improved network coverage is a long-term priority also in the Baltics, and our decision to create the first pan-Baltic TowerCo is a way to support that expansion while unlocking value from our infrastructure. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to be finalised in early 2026. In the meantime, the Baltic operations continue to impress and delivered yet another strong quarter on both top and bottom line, and I am particularly glad to see that Tele2 Estonia pursues the steady recovery, delivering a whopping 53% uEBITDAaL growth in Q3.

On a less encouraging note, The Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS) has once again been forced to delay the anticipated regulation of villa fiber connections, a regulation that we fully support. The repeated delays affect millions of Swedish consumers and their ability to benefit from a fair competition and choose their preferred broadband supplier as well as their preferred broadband service. Tele2 is proud to have played a central role in breaking the telecom monopoly of the 1990s, but today we see new local monopolies emerging and working hard to preserve the status quo in fibre connections. Consumers would benefit from Sweden implementing the same model as two thirds of EU's member states already have, and Tele2 and iTux are more than ready to support the implementation of that change.

Lastly, we are very proud to have been named one of the World's Best Companies by Time, based on employee satisfaction, growth and sustainability transparency. This honour is a testament to the hard work my colleagues have put in during the first three quarters, and it gives us even more energy as we head into the final stretch of the year.

Economic net debt of SEK 22.9 (26.2 by the end of 2024) billion declined driven by the cash generated in the business exceeding the payout of the first tranche of the ordinary dividend.

Economic net debt to underlying EBITDAaL (financial leverage) of 2.0x (2.5x by the end of 2024) was below the lower end of the target range of 2.5-3.0x. Adjusted for the payout of the second tranche of the ordinary dividend (payable in October), pro forma leverage would have been 2.2x.

Financial guidance

Financial guidance

Tele2 AB provides the following guidance for continuing operations in constant currencies:

2025 guidance (updated)

  • · Low single-digit organic growth of end-user service revenue
  • Slightly above 10% organic growth of underlying EBITDAaL
  • Around 12% capex to sales (excluding spectrum and leases) [previously around 13%]

Dividend

The Annual General Meeting on 13 May 2025 approved that an ordinary dividend of SEK 6.35 per share shall be paid out in two separate payments of SEK 3.20 and SEK 3.15. The first tranche was paid on 20 May, and the second tranche was paid on 15 October 2025. Refer to Note 6 for more details.

Guidance (updated)

Tele2 provides financial guidance for the inherent year.

The guidance for 2025 is low single-digit organic growth of enduser service revenue, slightly above 10% organic growth of underlying EBITDAaL, and around 12% capex to sales (excluding spectrum and leases) [previously around 13%]. Our 5G network investments and intense customer-centric transformation continue at a high pace.

Tele2 confirms growth potential across all segments in 2025. The Swedish operations are expected to continue growing, with Sweden Consumer driven by new offers and propositions, offsetting expected headwind from Boxer's discontinuation of terrestrial TV distribution, and with Sweden Business driven by IoT, SMEs and Large Enterprises. The Baltic operations are expected to continue growing driven by our strong market positions in Lithuania and Latvia alongside continued turnaround in Estonia.

Tele2 has initiated a deep transformation to improve profitability by addressing organisational complexity in Sweden and low profitability in Estonia and some parts of Sweden Business. Radical changes to improve efficiency are ongoing based on two key priorities: Simplify our operating model and organisation, and Rejuvenate Tele2's smart, change and cost-savvy culture. In Q4 2024, Tele2 begun extensive group-wide cost-optimisations including an objective to reduce total workforce by around 15% (600-700 full-time equivalents) within the coming 12 months from the release of the fourth quarter report, subject to union negotiations.

Financial policy (unchanged)

  • Tele2 will seek to operate within a range for economic net debt to underlying EBITDAaL of between 2.5-3.0x, and to maintain investment grade credit metrics.
  • Tele2's policy will aim to maintain target leverage by distributing capital to shareholders through:
  • An ordinary dividend of at least 80% of equity free cash flow, and,
  • Extraordinary dividends and/or share repurchases, based on remaining equity free cash flow, proceeds from asset sales and re-leveraging of underlying EBITDAaL growth.

Overview by segment

Sweden

Tele2 Sweden end-user service revenue grew by 1% in the third quarter with 5% growth in Business and stable development in Consumer. Growth was negatively affected mainly by accelerated decline rate in the Boxer TV business following the discontinuation of terrestrial TV distribution in the beginning of Q1.

September marked an important milestone as we enabled 5G across our entire Swedish network, expanding 5G coverage from 25% to 90% of Sweden's landmass and reaching 99.9% of the population.

Based on measurements during the first half of 2025, independent benchmark firm Open Signal named Tele2 the global leader in 5G video experience.

Underlying EBITDAaL grew by 8% driven by continued strong results from ongoing efforts to simplify our organisational structure and applying stricter priorities and cost control.

Capex excluding spectrum and leases amounted to SEK 483 (678) million.

Sweden Consumer

During the third quarter, we continued to deliver solid growth within mobile and broadband services. The overall market was characterised by high commercial activity, whereas the market for mobile phones continued to decline compared with last year. Competition intensified in open fibre networks ahead of the anticipated regulation. The Tele2 rebranding in the latter part of the second quarter strengthened marketing performance and our own channels, further reducing dependency on external distribution.

Total end-user service revenue remained unchanged as growth in mobile and Fixed broadband was offset by decline in Boxer following the continued impact of migrating Boxer off the terrestrial network and continued decline in fixed legacy services.

Mobile postpaid net intake was positive with 8,000 RGUs in the quarter. Mobile end-user service revenue grew by 3% as growth in postpaid RGUs more than offset a decline of 6% in prepaid end-user service revenue.

In Fixed broadband, net intake was positive with 1,000 RGUs while end-user service revenue grew by 3% mainly through ASPU growth.

Digital TV net intake was negative with 3,000 RGUs, and Digital TV end-user service revenue declined by 8%, both entirely due to Boxer.

Sweden Business and Wholesale

During the third quarter, we delivered strong end-user service revenue growth of 5% supported by growth across main services. Mirroring the trends observed in the second quarter, growth was primarily driven by contributions from our larger segments, whereas the Micro segment remained stable.

During the quarter, a new partner program was launched to improve quality and customer satisfaction. As a result, 60% of the specialised B2B reseller partners were phased out.

Mobile net intake was positive with 10,000 RGUs in the quarter. Mobile end-user service revenue grew by 5% driven by IoT and RGU growth in our larger segments.

Solutions end-user service revenue grew by 8% driven by growth in Network Solutions and Cloud PBX.

Fixed end-user service revenue grew by 1%, confirming continued stabilisation.

Equipment revenue declined compared to Q3 last year, primarily due to fewer handset deals, reflecting a subdued overall market demand.

Sweden Wholesale revenue remained unchanged during the quarter.

Lithuania

The Lithuanian economy has continued to show stable growth and relatively moderate inflation despite an uncertain geopolitical situation, thanks to strong real wage growth and stable domestic consumption. The market remained competitive with focus on 5G service quality and coverage. Operators generally sought to increase their market share and focused on migrating prepaid customers to postpaid plans to ensure higher ASPU.

Net intake in the quarter was positive in mobile postpaid with 13,000 RGUs, and in mobile prepaid with 2,000 RGUs.

Mobile ASPU increased by 17% in local currency driven by price adjustments, customer base mix shift towards more postpaid, and successful execution of our more-for-more strategy.

End-user service revenue grew by 8% in local currency driven by ASPU growth.

Underlying EBITDAaL grew by 19% in local currency driven by enduser service revenue growth, improved equipment margins and cost optimisations.

Events during the quarter

6 August. Tele2 and Manulife IM-backed GCI partner to create the first pan-Baltic tower company

Tele2 will carve out its telecom infrastructure assets and create the first tower company covering all Baltic countries. It will also enter into a 50/50 partnership with Global Communications Infrastructure LLC ("GCI") which is backed by Manulife Investment Management ("Manulife IM"). The transaction enables Tele2 to unlock value in its mobile telecom infrastructure while enabling continued growth and rollout of mobile and 5G services in the region. The transaction values the tower company at EUR 560 million on a debt-free basis, and Tele2 expects cash proceeds of around EUR 440 million. GCI is a tower platform owned by Manulife IM, on behalf of clients, targeting investments in telecom towers globally.

3 September. Tele2 and Telenor now activate 5G across the entire mobile network – covering 90% of Sweden's landmass and 99.9% of the population

Tele2 and Telenor, through their jointly owned network company Net4Mobility, are now taking a historic step as 5G becomes available to the majority of Swedes regardless of where they live. 5G coverage expands from 25 to 90% of Sweden's landmass and now reaches 99.9% of the population.

The outstanding long-term incentive programs (LTI 2023, LTI 2024 and LTI 2025) are based on a similar structure, but with updated performance parameters for the LTI 2024 and LTI 2025 programs, where the Tele2 Absolute TSR performance measurement was removed, and replaced with a Sustainability measurement (CDP Score). The performance measurements Cashflow and Relative TSR were kept. Additional information about the LTI programs regarding the purpose of the program, performance parameters, measurement periods, conditions and requirements are stated in Note 30 of the 2024 Annual and Sustainability Report. During the nine months in 2025, the total cost including social security costs for all the programs amounted to SEK 111 (114) million.

LTI 2025

At the Annual General Meeting held on 13 May 2025, the shareholders approved a performance based incentive program (LTI 2025) for senior executives and other key employees in the Tele2 Group. In order to participate in the program, participants must own Tele2 Class B shares, which give the participants performance rights. Subject to fulfilment of certain performance based conditions during the periods 1 January 2025 – 31 December 2027 (the "Cash flow and CDP Score Measurement Period") and 1 April 2025 – 31 March 2028 (the "TSR Measurement Period") and the participant maintaining the invested shares and maintaining the employment (with certain exceptions) at the release of the interim report for January – March 2028, each right entitles the participant to receive one Tele2 share free of charge (subject to income taxation).

Total costs before tax for outstanding rights in the incentive program are expensed over the three year vesting period. These costs are expected, at 50% performance fulfilment, to amount to SEK 130 million, of which social security costs amount to SEK 38 million. To ensure the delivery of Class B shares under the program, the Annual General Meeting decided to authorise the Board of Directors to resolve on a directed share issue of a maximum of 1,500,000 Class C shares and subsequently to repurchase the Class C shares. The Board of Directors has not yet used its mandate.

LTI 2022

The exercise of the share rights in LTI 2022 was conditional upon the fulfilment of certain performance-based conditions. The TSR criterias (serie A and B in below table) were measured from 1 April 2022 until 31 March 2025, while operating cashflow (serie C in below table) was measured from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2024. The outcome of these performance conditions was in accordance with below and 1,166,305 share rights have been exchanged for shares in Tele2 during Q2 2025.

Non-IFRS measures

This report contains certain financial measures that are not defined by IFRS but are used by Tele2 to assess the financial performance of the business. These measures are included in the report as they are considered important supplementary measures of operating performance and liquidity. They should not be considered a substitute to Tele2's financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. Tele2's definitions and explanations of these measures are described below, but other companies may calculate non-IFRS measures differently and these measures are therefore not always comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

EBITDA

Tele2 considers EBITDA to be a relevant measure to present profitability aligned with industry standard.

EBITDA: Operating profit/loss before depreciation/amortisation, impairment as well as results from shares in associated companies and joint ventures.

Underlying EBITDA

Tele2 considers underlying EBITDA to be a relevant measure to present in order to illustrate the profitability of the underlying business, and as these are used by management to assess the performance of the business.

Underlying EBITDA: EBITDA excluding items affecting comparability. Items affecting comparability: Disposals of non-current assets and transactions from strategic decisions, such as capital gains and losses from sales of operations, acquisition costs, integration costs due to acquisition or merger, restructuring programs from reorganisations as well as other items that affect comparability.

Underlying EBITDAaL (uEBITDAaL) and underlying EBITDAaL margin

Tele2 considers underlying EBITDAaL and the related margin to be relevant measures of the business performance since underlying EBITDAaL includes the cost of leased assets (depreciation and interest), which is not included in underlying EBITDA according to IFRS 16.

Underlying EBITDAaL: Underlying EBITDA as well as lease depreciation and lease interest costs according to IFRS 16.

Underlying EBITDAaL margin: Underlying EBITDAaL in relation to revenue excluding items affecting comparability.

Non-IFRS measures – Capex paid and capex

Tele2 considers capex paid relevant to present as it provides an indication of how much the company invests organically in intangible and tangible assets to maintain and expand its business. Tele2 believes that it is relevant to present capex to provide a view on how much Tele2 invests organically in intangible and tangible assets as well as in right-of-use assets (lease) to maintain and grow its business that is not dependent on the timing of cash payments.

Capex paid: Cash paid for the additions to intangible and tangible assets net of cash proceeds from sales of intangible and tangible assets.

Capex: Additions to intangible assets, tangible assets and right-of-use assets (lease) that are capitalised on the balance sheet.

Non-IFRS measures – Equity free cash flow (EFCF)

Tele2 considers equity free cash flow to be relevant to present as it provides a view of funds generated from operating activities that also includes investments in intangible and tangible assets. Management believes that equity free cash flow is meaningful to investors because it is the measure of the Group's funds available for acquisition related payments, dividends to shareholders, share repurchases and debt repayment.

Equity free cash flow: Cash flow from operating activities less capex paid and amortisation of lease liabilities.

Equity free cash flow per share: Equity free cash flow for the period in relation to the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the financial year.

Non-IFRS measures – Net debt and economic net debt

Tele2 believes that net debt is relevant to present as it is useful to illustrate the indebtedness, financial flexibility, and capital structure. Furthermore, economic net debt is considered relevant as it excludes lease liabilities, and thereby consistently can be put in relation to underlying EBITDAaL when measuring financial leverage.

Net debt: Interest-bearing non-current and current liabilities excluding provisions, less cash and cash equivalents, current investments, restricted cash and derivative assets.

Economic net debt: Net debt excluding lease liabilities.

Organic

Tele2 believes that organic growth rates are relevant to present as they exclude effects from currency movements but include effects from divestments and acquisitions as if these occurred on the first day of each reporting period and are therefore providing an indication of the underlying performance.

Organic growth rates: Calculated at constant currency, meaning that comparative figures have been recalculated using the currency rates for the current period, but including effects from divestments and acquisitions as if these occurred on the first day of each reporting period.

Reconciliation of figures is presented in an Excel document (Q3-2025-financial-and-operational-data) on Tele2's website www. tele2.com.

2) Capital employed, closing balance as of 30 September 2023 was SEK 55,458 million.
