1) Defined in separate section Alternative Performance Measure (APMs)

The third quarter of 2025 marks a new milestone for Zalaris — achieving an all-time high quarterly revenue in what has traditionally been one of our seasonally weaker periods. This strong performance reflects the continued success of our strategy and the scalability of our business model, driven by new customers going live and ongoing operational excellence.
We delivered revenues of NOK 375 million for the quarter, representing a 10% increase compared to the same period last year. Profitability also reached a new record for a third quarter, with adjusted EBIT of NOK 47 million, corresponding to an adjusted EBIT margin of 12.6%.
Our robust performance this quarter demonstrates the strength of our customer expansion, continued cost optimization, and the scalability of our resilient delivery model.
Our Managed Services division remains the cornerstone of Zalaris' growth, accounting for 77% of total Q3 revenues — a 14% increase year over year. This growth reflects ongoing improvements in our delivery model and operational efficiency.
Revenue growth has been achieved with a relatively stable headcount, a moderate increase in average resource costs following the July pay rise, and a continued shift toward greater utilization of nearshore and offshore resources.
In parallel, AI-driven productivity gains in sales and administrative functions are beginning to make a measurable impact, further strengthening our competitiveness.
In Q3, Zalaris achieved its Q4 2026 annualized revenue ambition of NOK 1.5 billion — a full year ahead of plan — while simultaneously exceeding profitability targets.
Building on this success, we have set our sights on our new three-year ambition: to become a NOK 2 billion annualized revenue company by Q4 2028, maintaining our adjusted EBIT target range of 13–15%.
EBIT above this range will be strategically reinvested to strengthen customer satisfaction, accelerate product innovation, and support sustainable growth initiatives.
During the quarter, we reaffirmed our strategic partnership with SAP by entering into a new long-term agreement to migrate our Peoplehub core solutions to SAP S/4HANA Cloud, ensuring the continued evolution of our platform through 2040. This initiative leverages SAP's advancements in AI, cloud, and connectivity, positioning Zalaris at the forefront of innovation to meet evolving customer and market demands.
This investment strengthens the stability, scalability, and future-readiness of our core HR and payroll infrastructure, supporting our ongoing global growth and digital transformation.
The agreement secures:
Implementation will be executed in close collaboration with SAP and Microsoft, with the

next upgraded release targeted for go-live in Q2 2026.
This milestone underscores Zalaris' commitment to maintaining a leading position in cloud-based HR and payroll solutions globally. While the transition will entail a modest increase in operating costs, these will be offset by gains in efficiency from accelerated digitization and by revenue growth driven through deeper cooperation with SAP's global sales channels.
Zalaris has secured a EUR 40 million revolving credit facility from Nordea to refinance its existing EUR 40 million senior secured bond loan. The refinancing is expected to be completed by mid-November.
This refinancing significantly strengthens our financial flexibility and will:
This move reinforces our solid financial foundation and ensures that we continue to deliver long-term value for our shareholders.
Q3 2025 stands as a testament to Zalaris' ability to execute, innovate, and deliver ahead of schedule. With a strong balance sheet, a growing base of recurring revenues, and continued investments in technology and talent, we are well positioned to deliver on our next phase of growth.

Hans-Petter Mellerud, CEO and founder of Zalaris

Revenue for the third quarter 2025 amounted to NOK 374.7 million (NOK 339.7 million). The increase in revenue was +10.3%. Measured in constant currency the increase was +9.5%*.
Revenue growth compared to last year was driven primarily by a 14% increase in Managed Services year-on-year. Managed Services accounted for 77% of revenue in the quarter. This growth stemmed from new customers going live, as well as geographical and product expansion with existing clients. Net Retention within Managed Services was approximately 103% in constant currency.
Zalaris signed an agreement for geographical expansion with an European airline to implement a centralized payroll system for its operations across Europe. The agreement expands Zalaris' existing payroll services covering over 5,500 employees. Zalaris also entered into an agreement with an European organic food producer to deliver payroll services for over 2,800 employees and retirees.
The pipeline remains solid, both for acquiring new customers and upselling to existing customers.

Signed contracts that are still to go live as of 30 September 2025, is presented in the table below. The table shows the ARR within Managed Services at the end of the third quarter, and how the Group's ARR will increase, when these contracts are implemented.

*See definitions and reconciliation of APM's in a separate section of the interim report.
The additional net ARR of NOK 72 million represents an increase in annual revenue for Managed Services of +7.2% (compared to reported revenue for full-year 2024).
The figure below shows the timing of the expected increase in the ARR for Managed Services, based on these new contracts.


Revenue in the Nordic & Baltic region was NOK 191.1 million in the third quarter. Adjusted for currency effects, the revenue was +14.5% compared to the figure last year of NOK 163.3 million. This was achieved through the implementation of new customer agreements, and additional volumes and change orders from existing customers, within Managed Services.
Revenue in the Central Europe region was NOK 142.0 million in the third quarter, compared to NOK 142.6 million last year. A decrease of 0.7% in local currency.
Managed Services in Germany grew by +3.7% in local currency compared to last year. The Managed Services business in Germany continues on its significant growth path, underlining our growing acceptance as a leading service provider in this very large and strategically important market. A portion of the revenue generated from the new multi-country customer headquartered in Germany is supporting revenue growth in other regions, such as the Nordics and the Baltics.
Within Zalaris Consulting, Germany and Poland delivered a change in revenue of -7.7% and
-4.6% respectively in local currency compared to last year. Revenue fell in Germany due to the partial completion of major SuccessFactors projects, while Poland saw a decline mainly because of reduced application maintenance for a key customer.
Revenue in the UK & Ireland region amounted to NOK 24.7 million in the third quarter, compared to NOK 19.5 million in the same quarter last year, an increase of +30.6% in local currency. Higher revenue resulted mainly from new customers and increased change order volumes in Managed Services. Revenue in Zalaris Consulting was in line with last year.
Revenue in the APAC region was NOK 16.3 million in the third quarter, compared to NOK 13.5 million last year. An increase of +31.1% in local currency.
The Asia-Pacific region (APAC) was established in 2022, with operations in Australia, Singapore and the Philippines, to expand our multi-country payroll capabilities. The revenue growth from the previous year has mainly come from new customers in Zalaris Consulting.


The adjusted EBIT was NOK 47.0 million for the third quarter (NOK 37.0 million). The EBIT growth was primarily driven by increased revenue from new and existing Managed Services customers in the Nordic region.
The adjustments made to EBIT were the calculated costs of the Company's share-based payment plan (NOK 2.6 million), costs related to the strategic process (NOK 0.1 million), negative EBIT for non-core business vyble (NOK 1.0 million) and amortisation of excess values on acquisitions (NOK 3.7 million).
Consolidated EBIT for the quarter was NOK 39.6 million (NOK 31.1 million). The positive variance from last year is mainly due increased revenue, as described earlier.
The Group had net financial expense of NOK 9.3 million for the third quarter (net expense NOK 21.1 million), including a net unrealised currency gain of NOK 2.5 million (loss NOK 8.0 million), mainly related to the EUR 40 million bond loan.
The net profit for the quarter was NOK 18.9 million (NOK 8.3 million).
Total comprehensive income amounted to NOK 12.7 million (NOK 19.1 million), after negative currency translation differences of NOK 6.2 million (positive NOK 10.8 million) relating to foreign subsidiaries.
Zalaris targets an adjusted EBIT margin of 13% – 15% by the end of 2026. Our ambition is that each region will have a local EBIT margin of at least 15 – 20%, before any allocation of group costs.
Regions that perform well have a high level of standardization, automation and customer deliveries based on the Zalaris PeopleHub platform and make use of more resources from near- and offshore locations when providing services.
Historically, the subsidiaries in Germany have delivered significantly lower margins compared to other countries and in the second quarter last year, we further formalized our activities in the form of a DACH improvement program, targeting an EBIT improvement for DACH stand alone of approximately NOK 40 million over the next 12 to 18 months, with approximately NOK 30 million to be realized over the next 12 months, in addition to approximately NOK 10 million that would come from new customer contracts.
As a result of the improvement initiative and newly secured customer contracts, the EBIT margin in the DACH region has demonstrated substantial growth, with annual EBIT increasing by approximately NOK 60 million since the commencement of the program.
The main focus areas of this program have been:
Zalaris will keep working on these and other initiatives to further increase EBIT margins.

The Managed Services ("MS") segment had revenue of NOK 288.5 million (77% of total revenue) for the third quarter 2025, compared to NOK 253.7 million in the same quarter last year. The increase was +12.1% when adjusted for currency effects and was mainly driven by revenue from new customers that have gone live since the third quarter last year and additional services and increased change orders from existing customers.

*The APAC region, which has previously been reported separately, are included in MS and ZC from Q1'25. Historical figures have been revised.
The adj. EBIT for MS for the third quarter was NOK 59.3 million (NOK 45.4 million), and adj. EBIT margin was 20.6% (17.9%). The increase in EBIT is mainly due to higher revenue in the Nordic region, as well as operational improvements in DACH.
Revenue in the Zalaris Consulting ("ZC") segment amounted to NOK 85.6 million for the third quarter 2025, compared to NOK 85.0 million the previous year. When adjusted for currency movements the increase was 2.4% year-on-year.
The primary reason for the increase in ZC revenue compared to last year was higher revenue in APAC, partly offset by a reduction in Germany and Poland.

The adj. EBIT for ZC for the third quarter was negative NOK 1.1 million (NOK 5.5 million), and adj. EBIT margin was -1.3% (6.5%). The main reason for the decrease in EBIT was higher costs in APAC, which were needed to support the strong revenue growth in that region.
Zalaris had total assets of NOK 1,344.6 million as of 30 September 2025, compared to NOK 1,384.1 million as of 30 June 2025.
Cash and cash equivalents were NOK 223.2 million as of 30 September 2025, a decrease of NOK 32.2 million from the end of the previous quarter, primarily due to the cash settlement of employee share options of NOK 30.4 million and an increase in net working capital.
Total equity as of 30 September 2025 was NOK 267.1 million, compared to NOK 279.1 million as of 30 June 2025. This corresponds to an equity ratio of 19.9% (20.2%).
The Company holds 402,316 treasury shares (1.8% of total outstanding shares) at 30 September 2025.
Net interest-bearing debt (interest-bearing debt less cash and cash equivalents) as of 30 September 2025 was NOK 244.7 million, compared to NOK 217.0 million as of 30 June 2025.
The leverage ratio, measured by dividing the net interest-bearing debt at the end of the quarter by the adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months,

increased from 0.83 as of 30 June 2025 to 0.89 as of 30 September 2025.
Operating cash flow during the third quarter 2025 was NOK 10.9 million (Q3 2024: NOK 48.4 million). The reduction is mainly due to higher net working capital following strong business activity and the timing of large cash receipts and payments. The cash balance was NOK 18 million higher two days after quarter-end (2 October).
Net cash flow from investing activities in the third quarter was negative NOK 2.2 million
(negative NOK 9.4 million). This was all related to investment in fixed and intangible assets.
Net cash flow from financing activities in the third quarter was negative NOK 39.2 million (negative NOK 21.0 million). The increase was mainly related to the cash settlement of employee share options during the quarter.
There have been no events after the balance sheet date, which have had a material effect on the issued accounts.
Zalaris expects continued revenue growth driven by signed long-term BPaaS/SaaS contracts in Managed Services and expansions of existing agreements, with full effect by the end of 2026. Many contracts also offer potential for increased volumes across new countries and services, supported by a strong sales pipeline. The company maintains guidance of 1.5–3% annual churn and 10% average annual revenue growth.
Profitability is expected to improve through revenue scaling and ongoing cost optimisation, including X-shoring, automation, and AI. Priorities going forward include further automation and increased utilisation of nearand offshore centres in Latvia, Poland, and India. Market demand for multi-country payroll and HR outsourcing is predicted to remain strong, especially in Europe, where Zalaris
serves major German clients and continues to expand with existing customers.
Further global expansion continues through a low-risk partner strategy using the PeopleHub platform, enabling profitable growth even in smaller markets. While salary inflation and skills shortages present challenges, indexed contracts and trainee programs help offset these pressures. Despite global economic uncertainty and possible trade barriers, Zalaris remains resilient thanks to long-term agreements and its essential role in delivering mission-critical payroll and HR services.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for a complete set of financial statements, and these condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended 30 September 2025, have not been audited or reviewed by the auditors.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

This business segment also assists with cost-effective maintenance and support of customers' own on-premises solutions. A large portion of these services are of recurring nature and many of the services are based on long-term customer relationships.
Group overhead and unallocated are the costs not allocated to business segments, and are mainly intercompany sales, interest-bearing loans and other associated expenses and assets related to administration of the Group.

Disaggregated revenue information
The Group's revenue from contracts with customers has been disaggregated and presented in note 2.
| 2025 | 2024 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| (NOK 1 000) | 30. Sep | 30. Sep | 31. Dec |
| Trade receivables | 310 725 | 276 712 | 291 862 |
| Customer project assets | 305 198 | 260 739 | 277 957 |
| Customer project liabilities | (268 958) | (229 672) | (245 475) |
| Prepayments from customers | (23 388) | (18 955) | (24 554) |
Customer project assets are costs specific to a given contract, generate or enhance the Group's resources that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future, and are recoverable. These costs are deferred and amortized evenly over the period the outsourcing services are provided.
Customer project liabilities are prepayments from the customer specific to a given contract and are recognized as revenue evenly as the Group fulfils the related performance obligations over the contract period.
Prepayments from customers comprise a combination of short- and long-term advances from customers. The short-term advances are typically deferred revenues related to smaller projects or change orders related to the system solution. The long-term liabilities relate to initial advances paid upon signing the contract. These advances are contracted to be utilized by the customer to either transformation-, change- or other projects. These advances are open for application until specified, or when the contract is terminated, where the eventual remainder of the amount becomes the property of Zalaris and is hence rendered as income by the Group.

Annual recurring revenue (ARR) is defined as the annualised value of revenue the Company expects to receive from SaaS (software as a service) and BPaaS (business process as a service) contracts with customers but excludes change orders that do not result in regular future revenue. The ARR is calculated by taking the revenue for Managed Services in the applicable quarter, adjusted for change orders and contracts that have only generated revenue for part of the quarter (revenue from customers that have exited during the quarter is deducted, and estimated revenue for new contracts that have gone live during the quarter is added), multiplied by four. Contracted ARR includes the ARR at the end of the quarter, plus the estimated ARR of new contracts yet to go live.
The total revenue that a customer contract is expected to generate is called total contract value (TCV). This metric is mainly used in Zalaris Consulting to assess the overall value of consulting projects that are contracted.
Net Retention is the percentage of revenue retained from Managed Services customers over a 12 months period. This figure considers any changes in revenue resulting from alterations in services, products and volumes, as well as any lost revenue from customer attrition. Net Retention at the end of a given quarter is calculated by starting with the Managed Services revenue from the same quarter prior year, but excluding revenue from customers who had not fully implemented our solutions or services in that quarter. The next step is to measure the revenue from the same customers in the current quarter, using a constant currency (ref. definition below). This amount is then divided by the revenue from the same quarter prior year to obtain the Net Retention rate.

The following table reconciles the reported growth rates to a revenue growth rate adjusted for the impact of foreign currency. The impact of foreign currency is determined by calculating the current year's revenue using foreign exchange rates consistent with the prior year.
