Balance Sheet

As of 30 September 2025, Atea had total assets of NOK 17,007 million. Current assets such as cash, receivables and inventory represented NOK 9,427 million of this total. Non-current assets represented NOK 7,580 million of this total, and primarily consisted of goodwill (NOK 4,475 million), right-of-use leased assets (NOK 1,447 million) property, plant and equipment (NOK 531 million), and deferred tax assets (NOK 212 million).

Atea had total liabilities of NOK 12,854 million, and shareholders' equity of NOK 4,152 million as of 30 September 2025. Atea's policy is to maintain an equity ratio above 20%, adjusting for the impact of IFRS 16 ("adjusted equity ratio"). The adjusted equity ratio at the end of Q3 2025 was 26.8%.

Atea's financial position was a net debt of NOK 438 million at the end of Q3 2025 as defined by Atea's debt covenants. Atea's debt covenants require that the Group maintains a maximum net interest bearing debt of 2.5x pro forma EBITDA over the last twelve months. Based on the calculation of the debt covenants, Atea's net interest-bearing debt is 0.2x pro forma EBITDA. Atea therefore maintains liquidity reserves of NOK 4,645 million before the debt covenant would be reached. See additional information on the liquidity reserve in Note 11 of this report.

In order to reduce the volatility of its working capital and debt balances throughout the year, Atea sells specified accounts receivable through a securitization program organized by its bank. At the end of Q3 2025, Atea had sold receivables of NOK 1,648 million under the securitization program, compared with NOK 1,872 million in Q3 last year. Additional information on the securitization program can be found in Note 6 of this report.

Cash Flow

Cash flow from operations was an inflow of NOK 220 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared with an inflow of NOK 112 million in Q3 last year. Working capital movements had a positive impact on operating cash flow, driven by the reduction of inventory levels from the previous quarter following deliveries of school PCs during the third quarter.

Cash flow from investments was an outflow of NOK 84 million, compared with an outflow of NOK 87 million last year. Capital expenditures were stable with last year.

Cash flow from financing activities was an outflow of NOK 297 million in Q3 2025, compared with an outflow of NOK 243 million in Q3 last year. The higher outflow was mainly due to increased payments for treasury shares following the initiation of the share repurchase program.

Shares

Atea had 10,748 shareholders on 30 September 2025 compared with 9,896 shareholders on 30 September 2024.

Business Overview

Background

Atea is the leading provider of IT infrastructure and related services to organizations within the Nordic and Baltic regions. The company is the largest player by far in its local markets, with a market share of approximately 20%. About 70% of Atea's sales are to the public sector, with the remainder of sales to private companies.

Atea's current organizational structure is the result of the merger of the leading IT infrastructure companies in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Baltics in 2006 and 2007. This was followed by a further acquisition and consolidation of 50 companies from 2007 - 2015.

Atea's market share in the Nordic and Baltic regions far exceeds that of other IT infrastructure providers. Today, the company has offices in 88 cities in the Nordic and Baltic regions and nearly 8,000 employees. This scale provides Atea with critical competitive advantages in purchasing, local market presence, breadth and depth of product offering, system integration competence, and efficient shared services and logistics functions.

The market for IT infrastructure in the Nordic and Baltic regions has grown steadily during the last several years. Atea's competence and leading market position in IT infrastructure has enabled the company to grow faster than the market.

To address the needs of the Nordic and Baltic markets, Atea works closely with leading international IT companies, such as Microsoft, Cisco, HP Inc., Hewlett Packard Enterprise, IBM, Apple, Lenovo, VMware, and Dell Technologies. These companies view the Nordic region as a critical market for the early adoption of new technologies and work closely with Atea to penetrate these markets. In recent years, Atea's cooperation with its technology partners has intensified. This enables Atea to stay at the forefront of the latest IT trends, and to offer its customers new and innovative IT solutions.

Digital Transformation

The market for information technology is in the midst of dramatic change, with profound effects on society known as the "digital transformation".

Across private enterprise and throughout the public sector, organizations are converting vast amounts of information into digital form. As information is made digital, it can be collected, processed, managed, and distributed with methods and at a scale which was previously impossible. This "digitization" enables public and private organizations to completely redefine how they provide goods and services, and how these goods and services are consumed and shared.

The resulting "digital transformation" is driving innovation in all sectors of the economy and all public services, including health, welfare, education, defense, policing and infrastructure management. Collectively, this can result in major improvements in productivity and living standards.

At the same time, the "digital transformation" places even greater demands on organizations' IT environments, as the amount of data which is being managed grows exponentially across a broadening range of devices. Furthermore, as digital information and processes become central to the definition of goods, services and of work itself, the capabilities and stability of the IT environment become essential for organizations to function. Consequently, the risk of security breaches becomes ever greater. All of this creates a level of complexity which IT departments struggle to support.

This presents a significant opportunity for Atea, as the leading provider of IT infrastructure and system integration in the Nordic and Baltic regions. Through its breadth of competency and depth of expertise, Atea helps its customers to design, implement and operate the IT infrastructure upon which they are dependent as their operations become increasingly digital.

Business Overview

Business Strategy

Atea's business strategy is to act as a full-service IT infrastructure partner for its customers - enabling its customers to successfully pursue their digital transformation initiatives and manage the increasing complexity of their IT environments.

In order to earn a position as a trusted IT partner, Atea provides a complete range of IT infrastructure solutions, with a highly trained service team to support its customers in capturing maximum value from their IT investments.

Atea's solution offering:

The range of solutions which Atea provides its customers can be categorized in three major areas: "Digital Workplace", "Hybrid Platforms" and "Information Management".

"Digital Workplace" consists of all the devices and software through which users conduct work, access data and applications, and interact with each other. Examples include PCs, mobile phones and tablets, audio/video and conferencing solutions, smart displays, printers, and more.

"Hybrid Platforms" are the data center and network infrastructure through which organizations process, store, and distribute information. The category includes both on-premise infrastructure and cloud solutions, as well as "hybrid" solutions which integrate the two.

"Information management" consists of tools and methods through which organizations collect and administer data, and then derive value from this information. This includes Atea's practices within data protection, analytics/AI, and automation technologies.

Atea's service portfolio:

Atea supports customers with the design, implementation and operation of their IT environments through a broad portfolio of services. The service portfolio can be broken into three categories: "Lifecycle Management", "Professional Services", and "Managed Services".

"Lifecycle Management": Atea's service team assists customers in all aspects of managing their IT assets throughout the lifecycle of each product they acquire. This includes services to help customers deploy, install, finance, maintain, track and dispose of their IT assets.

"Professional services": Atea's consultants advise customers in the design and integration of their IT environments, the management of their information, and how specific IT solutions can best be used to fulfill their objectives.

"Managed services": Atea is a managed service provider which helps customers operate their IT environments either on-premise or from the cloud. Atea's managed services enable customers to dedicate less time and resources on IT operations and instead focus on their core objectives.

Sustainability

Atea's mission is to build the future with IT, together with its employees, its customers, and its vendors. The company's sustainability agenda is an essential part of the company's mission.

In Q3, Atea achieved the highest rating in environmental and social performance by EcoVadis for the sixth consecutive year. This platinum-level ranking placed Atea among the top 1% of more than 150,000 companies evaluated globally.

Atea was also recognized for being included in CDP's Supplier Engagement Assessment (SEA) A-list, which evaluates companies based on their performance in governance, target setting, Scope 3 emissions, and value chain engagement.

The company has received numerous other recognitions for its leadership within sustainability.

During the past year:

Business Outlook

Market trends

Atea's strong sales growth in 2025 has been driven by new frame agreements, an improved macroeconomic environment and by the following market factors:

Increased public spending on defense:

Atea is a major provider of IT solutions to the national security and defense sector.

Nordic and Baltic countries are greatly increasing public budgets for the defense sector. In addition, the Nordic countries are investing in IT to improve coordination of military command, control and operations across the Nordic region and within NATO. Both trends are driving high growth in spending on IT infrastructure by Atea's defense customers.

IT security / NIS 2 regulation:

IT security has become a top investment priority for organizations as threats of cyberattacks and data breaches continue to grow.

An additional driver of IT security investment is the EU Network and Information Systems 2 (NIS 2) Directive, which was adopted into local law by EU countries in 2024. The NIS 2 directive sets a new regulatory baseline of cybersecurity requirements to be implemented in public and private sector organizations which provide vital functions for society.

A large percentage of Atea's customers fall within the scope of the NIS 2 regulation and are required to register and confirm that they have implemented the cybersecurity measures of NIS 2. Noncompliance with the NIS2 directive can result in heavy penalties against these organizations and directly against their management bodies.

Artificial Intelligence:

Organizations are rapidly adopting AI solutions to derive value from their information, to automate processes and to enhance productivity in daily work.

Much of the initial wave of AI adoption is from features embedded in new software and cloud applications. Organizations further in their AI adoption are developing solutions based on their own data and training AI agents to meet specific requirements.

The increasing use of AI has driven spending on a broad range of IT infrastructure and support services - including hardware, software, cloud subscriptions and services. AI-driven IT investment is expected to accelerate in the coming years and be a major driver of market growth.

Windows 10 end-of-life:

Microsoft officially ended support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. From this date, users will no longer receive security updates, feature enhancements, and assisted support under their Microsoft's OS license agreements. Within the European Economic Area, users can enroll to receive Extended Security Updates for Windows 10 without charge for one additional year, based on a program announced on September 25.

The end of Windows 10 support has led to a PC refresh cycle, as organizations migrate to Windows 11 by purchasing new PCs. When refreshing their PC hardware, many organizations are opting to future proof their purchases by upgrading to higher-end AI PCs.

Outlook

Atea expects the market for IT infrastructure to continue to remain robust during the coming quarters.

Sales and revenue growth will slow due to more challenging comparable periods in the prior year. At the same time, Atea's product sales are expected to shift toward a higher margin mix. In addition, demand for services is expected to remain strong, with a positive effect on gross margin.

Based on solid demand trends, Atea reaffirms its financial guidance for the full year 2025. Atea expects to achieve gross sales at the top end of its guidance range of NOK 57 – 60 billion. Atea expects to deliver EBIT in the middle of its guidance range of NOK 1,330 – 1,450 million.

Atea is by far the market leader in the Nordic and Baltic regions and has a unique competitive position as a full-service IT infrastructure partner for its customers - enabling its customers to successfully pursue their digital transformation initiatives and manage the increasing complexity of their IT environments.

With its unique competitive advantages in an expanding market, Atea expects to continue to grow and increase its market share in the coming years. At the same time, the company expects to increase its operating profit through a combination of revenue growth, expansion within higher margin products and services, and tight control of operating expenses.

Note 1 - General information and accounting policies

General information and accounting policies

The condensed interim financial statements for the nine months ending 30 September 2025 were approved for publication by the Board of Directors on 22 October 2025. These Group financial statements have not been subject to audit or review.

Atea ASA is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in Norway whose shares are listed on the Euronext Oslo Børs. Atea (the Group) consists of Atea ASA (the Company) and its subsidiaries. Atea is the leading provider of IT infrastructure and related services to organizations within the Nordic and Baltic regions.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS), IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". The condensed interim financial statements do not include all information and disclosures required in the annual financial statement and should be read in accordance with the Group's Annual Report for 2024, which has been prepared according to IFRS as adopted by EU. The presentation of Net Working Capital in the Alternative performance measures has been changed starting from 3Q 2025. See Note 11 under Net working capital for more information.

In the interim financial statements for 2025, judgements, estimates and assumptions have been applied that may affect the use of accounting principles, book values of assets and liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual values may differ from these estimates. The major assumptions applied in the interim financial statements for 2025 and the major sources of uncertainty in the statements are similar to those found in the Annual accounts for 2024.

Correction of prior period errors - change in the balance sheet

The opening balance as of 1 January 2024 has been restated due to the discovery of an accounting error in prior period financial statements. The accounting error was related to the incorrect periodization of accrued discounts to managed services customers in Atea Denmark in 2014 - 2022.

In order to correct this error, the opening balance as of 1 January 2024 has been restated. The impact on Atea's balance sheet for full year 2024 is:

  • Other receivables on 1 January 2024 are reduced by NOK 1.5 million
  • Other current liabilities on 1 January 2024 are increased by NOK 27.9 million
  • Retained earnings on 1 January 2024 are reduced by NOK 29.4 million.

There are no changes on the Consolidated statement of Comprehensive income in the full year 2024 or on the previously reported interim 2025 financial statements.

The Board confirms that these interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. As a result of rounding differences numbers or percentages may not add up to the total.

The carrying amounts of Financial assets and Financial liabilities recognized in the Consolidated statement of financial position approximate their fair values, according to Management's assessment.

* Comparative figures have been restated to reflect the correction of a prior-period error. See Note 1 for details

Note 11 - Alternative performance measures

Alternative performance measures

The financial information is prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by EU. Additionally, it is management's intent to provide alternative performance measures that are regularly reviewed by management to enhance the understanding of Atea's performance. As defined in ESMAs guidelines on alternative performance measures (APM), an APM is defined as a financial

measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows, other than a financial measure defined or specified in the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by EU.

Atea uses the following APMs:

Gross sales and revenue

As stated in Note 2 in the Annual report for 2022, Atea has implemented a change to its accounting policy to comply with new guidance from the IFRS interpretations committee. In its financial reporting through 2021, Atea has recognized revenue from the resale of standard software and vendor services on a gross basis (with gross invoiced sales reported as revenue, and costs of the resold products reported as cost of goods).

Under the new guidance, Atea will recognize revenue from these products and services on a net basis (with gross invoiced sales, less costs of the resold products reported as revenue).

The bridge from gross sales to revenue is provided below. Further information about historical figures can be found at www.atea.com/accounting-policy-change-2022. The change in accounting policy only affects revenue and cost of sales, and has no impact on Gross profit, operating profit, net profit after tax, balance sheet and cash flow statement.

Net financial position

Net financial position consists of both current and non-current interest-bearing liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents.

Net financial position is one of the key metrics used in Atea to assess both the cash position and its indebtedness. It is also used in Atea's covenants on debt agreements.

Net financial position does not include incremental net lease liabilities due to the adoption of IFRS 16 from 1 January 2019. IFRS 16 requires lessees to recognize most lease contracts on their balance sheet, including subleases and lease liabilities for Right-of-Use (ROU) assets (such as facility rental contracts). Atea's financial covenants specifically exclude incremental net lease liabilities due to the adoption of IFRS 16 from the definition of net financial position.

Liquidity reserve

Liquidity reserve is a metric used to assess maximum additional borrowing that is allowed by Atea's debt covenants as of the balance sheet date. Liquidity reserve does not show committed loans reserve.

Liquidity reserve is calculated as the difference between Atea's net debt limit according to its debt covenants and Atea's net debt on the balance sheet date.

Atea's debt covenants require that Atea limit its net debt on a Group level to 2.5x pro forma EBITDA for the last 12 months.

Net working capital

Net working capital is defined as non-interest-bearing current assets net of cash and cash equivalents less non-interest-bearing current liabilities. The net working capital balance impacts how much funding is needed for business operations. Net working capital is positively affected by the securitization program, see Note 6 for more details.

Change in definition of Net working Capital

Starting from Q3 2025, the Group's definition of Net working capital excludes Dividend payable that previously has been included in Other current liabilities. Dividend payable is now disclosed separately in the Consolidated statement of financial position.

This adjustment aligns the Net working capital calculation in our Alternative performance measures with the presentation in the Consolidated statement of cash flow, where changes in Dividends payable are reported within cash flows from financing activities.

For comparability, the prior period of Net working capital figures has been restated using the new definition. The impact of the change on 30 September 2024 Net working capital was an increase of NOK 391 million.

Adjusted equity ratio

Atea's adjusted equity ratio is defined as its equity as a percentage of its adjusted total assets. Atea's adjusted total assets are calculated by deducting incremental lease assets due to the adoption of IFRS 16 (such as right-of-use assets and sublease receivables) from the total asset balance.

In accordance with Atea's risk management guidelines, Atea's adjusted equity ratio should be above 20%.
