COMMENTS BY THE CEO

Vestum continues to sequentially strengthen profitability with an adjusted EBITA margin of 11.0% for the quarter, up from 10.1% in the second quarter. At the same time, we are facing challenging comparable figures from the previous year, which is reflected in negative organic growth of 2%. Overall, demand has remained stable since the summer and has partially strengthened towards the end of the third quarter, with September being the strongest month and in line with last year. The change in reported EBITA compared to the previous year was negatively affected by SEK 16 million in non-recurring adjustment items, the majority of which related to revalued contingent considerations in the third quarter of 2024. These items partly explain why the financial net debt in relation to reported EBITDA is slightly higher than in the second quarter, at 2.8x. During the quarter, we have continued to invest in our leading product companies, which is reflected in increased purchases of tangible fixed assets, while growing volumes at the end of the quarter have driven up working capital. The investments primarily relate to geographic expansion in the UK within the Flow Technology segment. As a result, cash flow decreased during the quarter, but for sound reasons.

Strong development in Flow Technology

The Flow Technology segment continues to develop positively across all markets, generating sales growth of 10%, mainly driven by

acquisitions. Profitability, measured as EBITA margin, has strengthened from 18.1% to 20.7% compared to the previous year. As in the first half of the year, we are experiencing stable demand and profitability in Scandinavia. In the UK, the market has been preparing for the new investment plan AMP8, under which more than £100 billion will be invested over the next five years to improve water infrastructure. Although these investments have yet to materialise in the market, we are generating solid organic growth in the UK towards the end of the quarter. After the close of the quarter, we completed the acquisition of Dynamic Fluid Solutions, a leading UK supplier of advanced pumping and fluid management systems for complex industrial and environmental applications. This is a strategically important acquisition for the segment, enabling us to accelerate geographic expansion and initiate close collaborations on customer projects and procurement. The market outlook for the segment remains very favourable, and we expect stable development going forward.

Within the Niche Products segment, volumes have developed in line with the previous year, while the EBITA margin has sequentially strengthened from 12.4% to 14.1%. Compared to the same quarter last year, the margin has declined due to challenging comparable figures. We remain focused on further strengthening profitability in the segment.

Within the Solutions segment, we have

divested several businesses during the year, including the largest and third largest company, resulting in a decrease in sales in absolute terms. The EBITA margin in the segment has sequentially strengthened from 5.0% to 5.6%, but has declined from 9.1% compared to the previous year. The market continues to be characterised by high competition and price pressure, although we saw some improvement towards the end of the quarter in both volume and pricing. Our focus remains on improving profitability in the segment.

Cash flow declined during the quarter, mainly driven by high investments and increased working capital tie-up. Free cash flow amounted to SEK -2 million for the quarter, or SEK 48 million adjusted for changes in working capital. On a rolling twelve-month basis, free cash flow is negatively affected by non-recurring items of approximately SEK 25 million, which arose in connection to the early redemption of bonds in March 2025. Overall, we have created favourable conditions for free cash flow to grow going forward.

Outlook

The market outlook for the Flow Technology segment remains very favourable for the coming years, particularly in the UK, while there is reason to believe that the market will gradually improve in the other two segments. The combination of solid earnings at the end of the quarter and increased working capital tie-up suggests growing volumes ahead. However, it is too early to determine whether

this marks the beginning of a new positive trend characterised by profit growth. Vestum will continue to allocate capital with high discipline, and we look forward to the end of the year and 2026.

THE VESTUM GROUP'S DEVELOPMENT

Comments on the Vestum Group's development refer to the remaining operations unless otherwise is stated.

Net sales

Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 889 (1,019) million, which is a decrease of 13% compared to the same quarter of the previous year. Organically, sales decreased by 2%. Acquired and divested sales contributed to a decrease of 9%. Exchange rate effects had a negative impact on the quarter of SEK 16 million.

For the period January–September 2025, the Group's net sales amounted to SEK 2,801 (3,093) million. The decrease relates to acquired and divested net sales of -10% as well as organic growth of 2%. Exchange rate effects had a negative impact of SEK 27 million.

Seasonality

Vestum's activities are affected by seasonality due to weather conditions and number of working days. The Group's diversified structure, regarding both market offering and geographical presence, limits exposure to seasonality to some extent.

Earnings

Profit before amortisation and write-down of acquired surplus value (EBITA) for the quarter amounted to SEK 95 (133) million, which corresponds to an EBITA margin of 10.6% (13.1%). Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 98 (120) million, which corresponds to an adjusted EBITA margin of 11.0% (11.8%). Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to SEK 23 (62) million.

Extraordinary items that are adjusted in EBITA had impact on the quarter by SEK -3 (13) million. These consisted of one-off items. Net

financials for the quarter amounted to SEK -15 (-63) million, of which interest expenses for loans and leasing amounted to SEK 21 (39) million. The change in the net financial result is explained by reduced interest expenses and increased foreign exchange gains. The profit for the quarter for the remaining operations amounted to SEK 22 (-1) million, corresponding to profit per share attributable to remaining operations and the parent company's shareholders before and after dilution of SEK 0.06 (-0.01).

Profit before amortisation and write-down of acquired surplus value (EBITA) for January-September 2025 amounted to SEK 264 (315) million, which corresponds to an EBITA margin of 9.4% (10.2%). Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 277 (313) million and operating profit (EBIT) amounted to SEK 54 (104) million. Net financials amounted to SEK -98 (-162) million, of which interest expenses for loans and leasing amounted to SEK 71 (132) million.

Net sales per segment, Q3 2025

2025 Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities during the quarter amounted to SEK 51 (92) million, of which changes in working capital amounted to SEK -50 (-16) million. The operating cash flow amounted to SEK 68 (154) million, corresponding to a cash conversion rate of 49% (85%). For the period January-September 2025, the cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 150 (260) million, changes in working capital amounted to SEK -92 (21) million and the operating cash flow amounts to SEK 242 (440) million, which corresponds to a cash conversion of 61% (97%).

The Group's working capital varies over the quarters, primarily due to fluctuations in items such as work in progress, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The change in working capital during the quarter was mainly driven by increased operating receivables and decreased operating liabilities.

The Group´s investments in fixed assets during the quarter excluding acquisitions amounted to SEK 22 (11) million and SEK 62 (33) million for the period January-September 2025. Paid and revalued contingent consideration for previous years´ acquisitions amounted to SEK 6 (20) million in the quarter. Paid contingent consideration amounted to SEK 7 (144) million in January-September 2025.

Financial position and liquidity Equity at the end of the period amounted to SEK 3,726 (3,930) million.

The Group´s cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 22 (174) million.

SEGMENT FLOW TECHNOLOGY

The Flow Technology segment offers market-leading niche products focused on improving water infrastructure and enabling the efficiency of energy and water consumption.

Our market

Customers in this segment include public clients in need of advanced water pumping for various infrastructure facilities such as sewage systems and water supply, property owners and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) operators in need of water distribution and wastewater management, and industrial companies requiring filters, pumps, and irrigation systems for various applications. The segment offers product sales of pumps, irrigation systems, filters, moisture protection, measurement technol ogy, pipe systems and other flow technology products.

By offering pumps and irrigation systems that reduce customers' energy consumption and water usage, Vestum contributes to reducing climate impact and promoting a more sustainable societal development.

Development during the period

Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 317 (287) million and net sales for the period Janu ary–September amounted to SEK 947 (801) million.

Adjusted EBITA for the quarter amounted to SEK 66 (52) million, corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 20.7% (18.1%). Adjusted EBITA for the period January–Sep tember amounted to SEK 184 (158) million, corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 19.4% (19.8%).

During the third quarter, the segment demon strated positive development in both volume and profitability, compared to the previous year. The increase in volume was primarily driven by the UK -based company Nortech, which was acquired in April 2025. We continue to see stable demand for the segment's prod ucts and services in both the UK and Scandina via. In the UK, the transition to the new invest ment plan AMP8 has continued to shape the market, characterised by a somewhat cautious initial phase, which is in line with expectations. Despite this, the UK operations have generated volumes in line with the previous year, mainly due to increased demand towards the end of the quarter.

Following the end of the quarter, the acquisition of Dynamic Fluid Solutions was completed. Dynamic Fluid Solutions is a leading UK sup plier of advanced pumping and fluid manage ment systems for complex industrial and envi ronmental applications.

Looking ahead, we maintain a positive outlook for the segment's overall development. In the UK, the effects of the new acquisition as well as AMP8 are expected to provide favourable market conditions with increased volumes and strong profitability in the long term.

SEGMENT NICHE PRODUCTS

The Niche Products segment consists of leading product companies in selected technology niches characterised by high structural growth.

Our market

The product offering mainly consists of safety systems, containers and fasteners. End customers include private and public property owners in need of adaptation to meet increased environmental and accessibility requirements, as well as public and private clients in need of products that reduce energy consumption and climate impact.

Development during the period

Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 160 (165) million and net sales for the period January-September amounted to SEK 516 (525) million.

Adjusted EBITA for the quarter amounted to SEK 23 (27) million, corresponding to an

adjusted EBITA margin of 14.1% (16.5%). Adjusted EBITA for the period lanuary-September amounted to SEK 63 (66) million, corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 12.1% (12.5%).

The third quarter generated volumes in line with last year, although with a slightly lower adjusted EBITA margin, primarily due to challenging comparable figures. However, viewed over the course of the year, the margin has strengthened sequentially during the quarter, partly as a result of product mix and a strong focus on cost efficiency within the segment.

Going forward, profitability will remain top priority within the segment, and we also see opportunities for growth given more favourg-

ble market conditions.

SEGMENT SOLUTIONS

The Solutions segment offers specialised solutions for maintaining, developing and streamlining properties and transport networks.

Our market

The offering consists of renovation of concrete structures, solutions regarding sealing layer and technical insulation as well as other installation services. End customers are both public and private entities investing in and maintaining properties and various parts of the infrastructure such as perimeter security and wastewater systems.

Development during the period

Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 413 (569) million and net sales for the period January–September amounted to SEK 1,340 (1,775) million.

Adjusted EBITA for the quarter amounted to SEK 23 (52) million, corresponding to an

adjusted EBITA margin of 5.6% (9.1%). Adjusted EBITA for the period January–September amounted to SEK 69 (124) million, corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 5.1% (7.0%).

During the third quarter, net sales declined in absolute terms, primarily due to divestitures earlier this year. For the remaining operations, the market continues to be characterised by strong competition and price pressure. This is particularly evident among companies operating in the installation sector, where volumes from new construction within the building industry remain at low levels. However, our operations within specialised infrastructure services have, as in previous quarters, shown stable performance. This has contributed to a

sequential profitability improvement from the second quarter.

Towards the end of the quarter, a slight improvement was seen in both volume and pricing across the segment as a whole. We maintain a clear focus on enhancing profitability going forward.

SEGMENT REPORTING

Vestum divides its operations into three segments: Flow Technology, Niche Products and Solutions. These three segments complement each other, both over a business cycle and seasonally.

Cost for Group functions refers to group management, IT, legal, M&A and group finance functions. Costs related to operating group functions, such as division managers and business control, have been distributed to each segment.

All segments recognise revenue both at a point in time and over time.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Accounting principles

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the interpretations provided by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) that have been adopted by the European Commission for use within the EU. The standards and interpretations applied are those adopted by the EU. The Group´s interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and RFR 1, Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups. The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities. The interim report uses the same accounting principles and valuation methods as were used in the annual report for 2024.

Amounts in tables and calculations can be rounded, which means the stated total amounts are not always an exact sum of the rounded individual amounts.

From January 1, 2025, other standards, amendments and interpretations of existing standards that have not yet entered into force or been published by the IASB have also not been applied by the Group.

IFRS 5 - Discontinued operations

During 2024, a number of divestments were carried out. The income statement and cash flow statement for these companies are reported as discontinued operations in accordance with IFRS 5. The balance sheet for these companies is reported as Assets held for sale and Liabilities related to assets held for sale, in accordance with IFRS 5.

Due to the above, Vestum has recalculated the comparative figures regarding the income statement and cash flow statement. The balance sheet is not recalculated but reflects the businesses that were held for sale at respective balance sheet date.

Financial assets and liabilities

Contingent consideration that is valued at fair value in the balance sheet amounts to SEK 25 (19) million and is classified as level 3 according to the fair value hierarchy. The section Acquisitions presents how fair value is determined. Revaluation of the contingent consideration recorded in operating profit had an effect on the quarter´s result of SEK 0 (18) million. Financial assets in the form of noncurrent securities holdings valued at fair value in the balance sheet are classified as level 1 according to the fair value hierarchy. The non-current securities holdings amount to SEK 3 (3) million. Financial assets/liabilities related to derivatives that are measured at fair value in the balance sheet are classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The derivative instruments amount to SEK -1 (-2) million. For assets and liabilities reported at amortised cost, the carrying value corresponds to its fair value since the interest rate is at par with current market interest rates, or because the item is short term.

Risks and uncertainties

Vestum´s main risk factors consist of market risks such as changes in the macro economic environment and/or the current competitive situation. In addition, the Group is exposed to operational risks such as project, customer and quality risks. The Group is also exposed to financial risks such as currency, interest rate, counter-party and credit risks.

Increased tariffs and other trade barriers in markets where Vestum operates are not expected to have any material direct impact on the group, but may indirectly affect Vestum's operations.

The Group´s interest-bearing liabilities are to some extent exposed to floating interest rates. Increased policy interest rates affect Vestum´s floating interest rates. Vestum strives to, at all times, have a structured and efficient management of financial risks in accordance with the Group´s finance policy.

The Parent company is affected by the above risks and uncertainties through its function as owner of the Group´s subsidiaries. For more information on Vestum´s risks and risk management please refer to the Annual report for 2024. Vestum's risks and risk management have remained unchanged during the year.

Related party transactions

During the quarter, there were no transactions between Vestum and related parties that had a significant impact on the Group´s financial position or earnings.

For more information on related parties, refer to the annual report for 2024, note 27, as well as the Q1 interim report.

Incentive program

Vestum has two incentive programs corresponding to a total of 3,417,000 warrants. The warrant programs are aimed at senior executives and key people in the Group and the portfolio companies. The warrants have been transferred on market terms at a price that was established based on an estimated market value calculated by an independent valuation institute.

Contingent consideration

In accordance with agreements on contingent considerations, the Group must pay cash compensation linked to future earnings. The maximum non-discounted amount that may be paid to previous owners amounts to SEK 47 million. The likely outcome of the contingent consideration is based on the Group´s forecast of future development and earnings in each entity. Total contingent consideration liability amounts to SEK 25 million. During 2025, contingent consideration of SEK 7 million was paid. Paid and revalued contingent

consideration had an impact of SEK 0 (21) million on the year to date result, which is reported as Other operating income and Other operating expenses in the income statement. The current part of the liability amounts to SEK 17 million and the likely timing for settlement is the second and third quarter of 2026. The fair value of the contingent consideration is at level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Contingent consideration liabilities are reported as Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in the balance sheet.

RECONCILIATION OF ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES

Vestum presents a number of performance measures that are not defined in accordance with IFRS. The Company considers these measures to provide valuable supplementary

information to investors and the management as they allow an evaluation of trends and performance. As not all companies calculate these measures in the same way, they are not

always comparable with those used by other companies. These financial measures should therefore be seen as a complement to the measures defined according to IFRS. Reconciliation of these measures is presented below. For definitions of performance measures, see previous page.

AUDITOR'S REPORT

Vestum AB (publ), 556578-2496

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Vestum AB (publ), and its subsidiaries as of 30 September 2025 and the nine-month 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.

Scope of 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.

Conclusion

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.
