The cost measures that we have carried out continue to contribute to increased adjusted EBITA margins. During the third quarter, the margin improved compared to both the preceding quarter and the same period last year. Demand also improved slightly compared to the preceding quarter. As part of our efforts to further improve profitability we have decided on additional cost measures within our largest subsidiary LGI.
Supply Chain Solutions improved its margin compared to both the preceding quarter and last year. However, sales continued to decline, although at a slower pace than in the preceding quarter. Adjusted for freight forwarding services within our Air & Sea business, that have experienced declining prices due to overcapacity in the market, organic growth was –1% compared to –3% in the preceding quarter. A positive development in the quarter was that we could see organic growth in North America through improved new sales and stable demand from existing clients. Asia also remained stable in the quarter. Europe, on the other hand, was weaker than last year, mainly due to the decline in prices for freight forwarding from Asia to Europe. During the quarter LGI's new CEO Florian Beck conducted an extensive review of the business resulting in cost measures and savings within white-collar staffing. In addition to this, measures have been executed to reduce warehouse overcapacity. These structural measures will have a positive effect already in the fourth quarter.
The business area Print & Packaging Solutions improved its result and margin compared to both the preceding quarter and last year. This improvement is the result of the consolidation of production capacity that we have carried out, along with cost-side measures. The consolidation has streamlined operational efficiency and contributed to a more sustainable cost structure. Sales declined in line with the preceding quarter, but towards the end of the quarter
we could see a clear recovery driven by a combination of stabilized demand from existing clients and an increase in new sales.
The trade tariffs on imported goods introduced by the USA, as well as the ongoing trade negotiations, continue to create considerable uncertainties in the market. In spite of this, we have seen signs of stabilization when it comes to existing clients in recent months, where their forecasts align better with outcomes. The number of requests from new potential customers has also increased gradually and in the quarter, we have both secured several new customers and renewed a number of strategic contracts. At the same time, we note that the trend towards more decentralized production continues, creating long-term opportunities for growth within logistics. This means an increased need for more warehouse locations and more complex distribution solutions. Elanders is well positioned to meet these changes thanks to our global presence enabling us to handle our clients' volumes in several different markets. Our proprietary warehouse management system CloudX, with its scalability, gives us an advantage by enabling our customers to easily carry out an integration in one local market and then expand their warehouse capacity on a global scale within Elanders' network, without any further costly integrations.
Our continuous efforts to improve our cash flow, reduce our working capital and optimize our investments continue in order to reduce our net debt over time.
The Group continues its efforts to prepare for the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, CSRD. We are monitoring the progress of proposed potential regulatory relief within sustainability reporting in parallel to our work to ensure that the Annual and Sustainability Report for 2025 will align with the directives in force.
During the quarter, the Group's climate targets have been validated and approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This is a significant step in our long-term efforts to reduce our climate impact and develop a more sustainable business.
Mölndal, 22 October 2025

President and Group CEO
Net sales decreased by MSEK 1,221 to MSEK 9,148 (10,369) compared to the same period last year. Excluding exchange rate fluctuations, discontinued operations and acquisitions, net sales declined organically by three percent.
Sales improved slightly during the third quarter compared to the second, but were lower than last year. This decline was to a large extent due to lower prices for freight forwarding services within Air & Sea, which is a consequence of an overcapacity in the market. This predominantly impacted the Fashion customer segment in Europe. Despite continued market uncertainty, the company could observe signs of stabilization and, in some cases, also a certain recovery within selected segments and markets, especially towards the end of the quarter. In North America organic growth was noted, mainly within Fashion, but also within Automotive. Demand within Electronics, which had been strong during the first six months of the year, declined somewhat in the third quarter, but still showed continued organic growth. Demand within the Industrial customer segment improved within Supply Chain Solutions but continued to decline within Print & Packaging Solutions during the quarter.
The considerable structural measures initiated during the first six months of the year, which encompass parts of both business areas in Europe, are progressing according to plan. This has contributed to an improved EBITA margin compared to the first six months of the year. In the largest subsidiary of the Group, LGI, the new CEO has conducted an extensive review of the operations. This has resulted in the identification of further large savings, particularly within white-collar staffing, as well as measures to reduce warehouse overcapacity. This structural measure is expected to have a positive effect already starting in the fourth quarter.
Adjusted EBITA, i.e. the operating result adjusted for amortization of assets identified in conjunction with acquisitions and one-off items, was MSEK 510 (632) which corresponded to an
adjusted EBITA margin of 5.6 (6.1) percent. Including one-off items, EBITA decreased from MSEK 698 to MSEK 324. One-off items amounted to MSEK –185 (66). These mainly referred to the structural measures implemented during the current quarter as well as the previously announced management change within LGI along with structural measures carried out in prior periods within both business areas. Last year's one-off items mainly referred to a revaluation of the additional consideration for the acquisition of Kammac, that did not develop as expected, as well as structural measures within Supply Chain Solutions.
The net debt has decreased primarily due to a stronger Swedish krona and an improved cash flow. Despite of this, the impact of high interest expenses remains as a consequence of the current debt in combination with continued high interest rates.
Net sales decreased by MSEK 726 to 2,872 (3,598) compared to the same period last year. Excluding exchange rate fluctuations, discontinued operations and acquisitions, net sales declined organically by four percent. Adjusted for freight forwarding within Air & Sea operations, that have experienced declining prices due to overcapacity in the market, net sales declined organically by two percent.
Adjusted EBITA, i.e. the operating result adjusted for amortization of assets identified in conjunction with acquisitions and oneoff items, decreased by MSEK 27 to MSEK 210 (237). which corresponded to an adjusted EBITA margin of 7.3 (6.6) percent. The increased EBITA margin is a result of the previously implemented structural measures carried out as well as a partial stabilization in demand.
The result of the period includes one-off items amounting to MSEK –80 (139) that primarily referred to cost-side structural measures within LGI. Last year's one-off items mainly referred to a revaluation of the additional consideration for the acquisition of Kammac, that did not develop as expected.

Elanders is one of the leading companies in the world in global solutions for supply chain management. The range of services includes, among other things, taking responsibility for and optimizing customers' material and product flows, everything from sourcing and procurement combined with warehousing to after sales service. The company's proprietary warehouse management system CloudX, that includes AI functionality, offers clients valuecreating services and the expansion of storage capacity within Elanders' global network without any further costly IT integrations.
In the third quarter net sales in the business area declined organically with four percent compared to the same quarter last year, excluding acquisitions, discontinued operations and using unchanged exchange rates. In spite of a continued uncertain market situation, signs were noted of stabilization and, in some cases, also a certain recovery within selected customer segments and markets, especially towards the end of the quarter. The decline in net sales was to a large extent due to lower prices for freight forwarding services within Air & Sea, as a consequence of an overcapacity in the market. This predominantly affected Fashion in Europe, but also Industrial. Adjusted for freight forwarding within Air & Sea, however, both Fashion and Industrial showed organic growth. The Electronics customer segment, that has been stable during the year, continued to grow organically also in the third quarter. A positive development during the quarter was that Fashion in North America, that earlier has had a slow development, showed organic growth of four percent. The Automotive customer segment, which continues to face major structural challenges, had negative organic growth although the decline was halved compared to the first six months of the year.
The considerable structural measures that were carried out at the end of the previous year and during the first six months of this year have contributed to an improved adjusted EBITA margin during the third quarter compared to preceding periods. The new CEO for the subsidiary LGI has conducted an extensive review of the business that has resulted in further structural measures. LGI is building a more efficient organization while retaining the capacity for future expansion. The measures affect around 70 employees, mainly white-collars. Included in the structural measures there are also a consolidation of warehouse space in order to reduce overcapacity. The company has also renewed several important client contracts and is in final negotiations concerning new inquiries.
Adjusted EBITA, i.e. the operating result adjusted for amortization of assets identified in conjunction with acquisitions and oneoff items, was MSEK 183 (214) in the quarter, which corresponded to an adjusted EBITA margin of 7.9 (7.2) percent. The quarter's one-off items amounted to MSEK –80 (144) and primarily referred to structural measures within LGI.
The global trend towards regionalized and decentralized production continues. This development creates strategic opportunities for Elanders, as the increased supply chain complexity increases the need for a larger number of warehouse locations and more complex distribution solutions. Over time, these challenges are expected to generate growth for the Group.

Through its capacity to innovate and its global presence, the business area Print & Packaging Solutions offers cost-effective solutions that can handle customers' local and global needs for printed material and packaging, often in combination with advanced online ordering platforms, valueadded services and just-in-time deliveries.
The third quarter net sales for the business area declined organically by four percent compared to the same quarter last year, excluding acquisitions, discontinued operations and using unchanged exchange rates.
The uncertain market situation and the decline in demand for printed matter remained during the third quarter, although the impact was slightly less than in the first six months of the year. The Automotive customer segment continued to develop negatively, but the rate of decline decreased somewhat in the quarter. On the contrary, sales within Industrial declined at an increased rate, while growth slowed down within the strategically important online print. The weak market has, however, created new business opportunities. In the quarter the company took over a number of customers from a German company that had ceased its operations. Furthermore, several new agreements were secured and the business area is actively participating in important tenders that are expected to contribute positively next year.
The consolidations and cost measures implemented during the first quarter have had a positive effect on the result and contributed to an improved EBITA margin in the third quarter compared to the first six months of the year. The consolidation has streamlined operations and laid the foundations for a more sustainable and robust cost structure in the long term. Adjusted EBITA, i.e. the operating result adjusted for amortization of assets identified in conjunction with acquisitions and one-off items, was MSEK 36 (32), which corresponded to an adjusted EBITA margin of 6.0 (4.9) percent.
The current market situation within print is characterized by uncertainty, which creates challenges for future development. At the same time, opportunities for growth remain, especially within online print and the publishing segment, where demand for flexible and digitally integrated solutions is increasing. For Elanders, as one of the largest players within print, the weak market conditions offer opportunities for the consolidation of production in the markets that are important for the Group.

As a response to a slow start to the year, the Group decided to implement cost-saving measures within the Supply Chain Solutions business area. The measures are part of efforts to strengthen long-term profitability and adapt the operations to current market conditions. The structural measures have been implemented continuously and are expected to result in annual cost savings of approximately MSEK 130, of which around MSEK 42 in 2025. The measures primarily affect Elanders' subsidiary LGI and mainly referred to severance pay provisions. Structural measures of MSEK 113 impacted the result in the period, of which MSEK 31 in the first quarter, MSEK 6 in the second quarter and MSEK 76 in the third quarter.
During the first quarter, it was decided that the offset operation in Hungary will be discontinued and that the volumes will be moved to Poland. The Group is also consolidating two of its UK entities to one entity. In addition, structural measures were implemented in Germany and Sweden. These measures are a response to a weaker market and incurred one-off costs of MSEK 57, which referred to severance pay provisions and other restructuring costs, impacting the result in the first quarter. The measures are expected to result in annual cost savings of approximately MSEK 102, of which around MSEK 57 in 2025.
During the period, Florian Beck replaced Bernd Schwenger as CEO of Elanders' subsidiary LGI and as a member of Elanders' Group Management. Florian Beck comes from the role of COO of Bergen Logistics and has been part of the Group for ten years, of which nine years at LGI. He has a solid background in contract logistics and business development and has previously held several senior positions within the Group.
Charles Ickes has assumed the role of Group COO to strengthen the strategic coordination and operational integration of Elanders' global supply chain network. In parallel, he will remain in his current position as CEO of Elanders' subsidiary Bergen Logistics.
Geopolitical changes and potential trade conflicts continue to create uncertainty in the world. Elanders is monitoring the situation and will make necessary adjustments to operations if needed.
During the period, Elanders climate targets have been validated and approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The climate targets are deemed to be aligned with the latest climate science and in line with the Paris Agreement's goals to limit global warming to a maximum of 1.5 degrees. According to these targets, Elanders commits to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in its own operations (scope 1 and 2) by 50 percent by 2030, compared to the base year 2021. For the value chain (scope 3), emissions will be reduced by 25 percent by 2030, compared to the base year 2022. The long-term target is to reach net zero emissions across all scopes by 2050.
During the quarter, LGI's new CEO, Florian Beck, conducted a comprehensive review of the operations and identified opportunities for cost savings among white-collar employees, as well as measures to reduce overcapacity in warehouse space. These actions resulted in structural measures of MSEK 76, which impacted the result in the third quarter.
Net investments for the period amounted to MSEK 113 (1,171), of which purchase prices for acquisitions accounted for MSEK 18 (1,076). Depreciation, amortization and write-downs amounted to MSEK 1,022 (1,048).
Net investments for the period amounted to MSEK 20 (93), of which purchase prices for acquisitions accounted for MSEK 0 (60). Depreciation, amortization and write-downs amounted to MSEK 328 (351).
Excluding purchase prices for acquisitions, the operating cash flow amounted to MSEK 1,323 (1,436). Including acquisitions, the operating cash flow for the period was MSEK 1,305 (359).
Net debt decreased by MSEK 907 to MSEK 8,205 compared with MSEK 9,112 at the beginning of the year. The reduction was mainly due to currency exchange rate effects, which reduced net debt by MSEK 612, as well as amortizations and revaluations of the Group's leasing liabilities totaling MSEK 358. The dividend to shareholders increased net debt by MSEK 147, while working capital contributed to a reduction of MSEK 69. On a rolling twelve-month basis, the net debt/EBITDA ratio was 4.6, compared with 4.1 at the beginning of the year.
Excluding effects from IFRS 16, net debt decreased by MSEK 218 to MSEK 3,813 compared to MSEK 4,031 at the beginning of the year. Exchange rate fluctuations and lower working capital reduced the net debt by MSEK 281 and MSEK 56 respectively, during the period. The dividend to shareholders increased net debt by MSEK 147. Excluding IFRS 16 effects, the net debt/ EBITDA ratio was 4.4 on a rolling twelve-month basis, excluding one-off items and adjusted for proforma results for acquisitions, in comparison to 4.0 at the beginning of the year.
During the year, the Group extended its credit agreement on two occasions. The first extension took place in the first quarter, and a second extension occurred in the third quarter. The group has now secured financing for its operations, and the facility matures in the third quarter of 2028. The agreement represents an important step toward increased financial stability and long-term growth.
The Group's credit agreements contain a financial covenant that must be met in order to secure the financing. This covenant is the net debt/EBITDA ratio that is calculated excluding IFRS 16
effects but adjusted for proforma results in acquisitions and excluding one-off items. This financial covenant was met as of the balance sheet date.
Excluding purchase prices for acquisitions, the operating cash flow totaling MSEK 316 (279). Including acquisitions, the operating cash flow for the period was MSEK 316 (218).
During the quarter, the Group extended its credit agreement. The extension means that the Group has now secured financing for its operations, and the facility matures in the third quarter of 2028, which represents an important step toward increased financial stability and long-term growth.
The average number of employees during the period was 6,905 (7,349), whereof 166 (163) in Sweden. At the end of the period the Group had 6,712 (7,217) employees, whereof 162 (164) in Sweden.

Elanders divides risks into business risks (customer concentration, operational risk, risks in operating expenses, contracts and disputes), financial risks (currency, interest, financing/liquidity and credit risk) as well as circumstantial risks (business cycle sensitivity, wars
and conflicts, pandemics and increased demands in a changing world). These risks, together with a sensitivity analysis, are described in detail in the Annual and Sustainability Report for 2024 and remain unchanged since this report.

Elanders AB (publ) corp. reg. no. 556008-1621
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Elanders AB as of 30 September 2025 and the nine-months period then ended. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International
Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.

The Group has defined two operating segments which are the same as the two business areas Supply Chain Solutions and Print & Packing Solutions. The reporting is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the highest executive decision-maker in the Group, the Chief Executive Officer of the Elanders Group. The operations within each operating segment have similar economic
characteristics and resemble each other regarding the nature of their products and services, production processes and customer types. Sales between segments takes place on market terms and have been eliminated in the Group's total sales. No allocation of financial items is made by operating segment.

Revenue has been divided into geographic markets, main revenue streams and customer segments since these are the categories the Group uses to present and analyze revenue in other contexts. Revenue for each category is presented per reportable segment. The Group's customer contracts are easy to identify and products and services in a contract are largely connected and dependent on each other, and therefore part of an integrated offer.
Main revenue streams are presented based on the internal names used in the Group. Sourcing & Procurement services refer to the purchase and procurement of products for customers as well as handling the flows connected to these products. Freight and transportation services refer to revenue from freight and transportation with our own trucks as well as pure freight forwarding. Other supply chain services such as fulfilment, kitting, warehousing, assembly and after sales services are presented under Other contract logistics services. Other work/services refer to pure print services and other services that do not fit into any of the first three categories.
Intra-group invoicing regarding group functions is reported net in net sales to group companies.

The financial instruments recognized at fair value in the Group's report on financial position consist primarily of contingent considerations related to acquisitions, conditional put and call options regarding non-controlling interests and a minor part of derivatives.
Contingent considerations and mandatory put/call options are measured at fair value within level 3, which means that valuation has been made based on inputs that are not observable in the market.
Contingent considerations are recognized as financial liabilities and at fair value on the acquisition date. Contingent considerations are remeasured at each reporting period with any change recognized in profit or loss for the year. Contingent considerations are based on performance targets as agreed between the sellars and Elanders. As of September 30, 2025, the fair value of contingent considerations amounts to MSEK 3, compared with MSEK 3 at the beginning of the year. At the end of the period, the entire amount was recognized as current liability.
Mandatory put/call options related to acquisitions of noncontrolling interests are initially recognized as a financial liability at the present value of the strike price applicable at the period where the option can first be exercised. Changes in fair value for these liabilities are recognized in equity. Mandatory put/call options are based on performance targets as agreed between the sellars and Elanders. As of September 30, 2025, the fair value of mandatory
put/call options amounts to MSEK 66, compared with MSEK 87 at the beginning of the year. The decrease is due to the acquisition of the remaining shares in ReuseIT AB through the exercise of a mandatory put/call option of MSEK 18 as well as exchange rate fluctuations. At the end of the period, the entire amount was recognized as long-term liability.
The derivatives consist of forward contracts and are used for hedging purposes and are measured at fair value within level 2. Valuation at fair value of forward contracts is based on published forward rates on an active market. Derivatives for hedging purposes are recognized at fair value and are presented under other current assets and non-interest-bearing current liabilities. Changes in the value of cash flow hedges are reported in particular categories under other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recorded in the income statement. Any result on hedge instruments attributable to the effective part of the hedge are recorded as equity under hedge provisions. Any result on hedge instruments attributable to the ineffective part of the hedge are recorded in the income statement. The hedge reserve for forward exchange contracts is less than MSEK 1 both as of September 30, 2025, and the comparison periods.
The fair value of other financial assets and liabilities valued at their amortized purchase price is estimated to be equivalent to their book value.
Elanders has not made any acquisitions or divestments of operations during January – September 2025.
In October 2020 and March 2021, respectively, Elanders acquired 70 percent of the Renewed tech companies Azalea IT as well as ReuseIT Sweden AB and ReuseIT Finance AB. The acquisitions included a mandatory option to purchase the remaining shares in 2024 and 2025. During the first half of 2025, the remaining shares were acquired and the acquisition was completed. The shares were acquired for MSEK 18, which corresponded to the recognized liability for the put/call option.
In February 2024, Elanders acquired almost 90 percent of the shares in the English company Bishopsgate Newco Ltd ("Bishopsgate"). The purchase price for the shares amounted to approximately MGBP 40 on a cash- and debt-free basis, and was charged to cash flow during the first quarter of 2024. In addition to this, there is also a mandatory put/call option that gives Elanders the right to buy the remaining shares based on the company's future result development.
