The information contained herein is such as shall be made public by Knowit AB (publ) in accordance with the EU Market Abuse Regulation. The information was made public through the agency of CEO and President Per Wallentin, at 07.30 CEST on October 24, 2025.

The third quarter has been shaped by many exciting client assignments and a continued strong focus on sales, with cost discipline as an important foundation. We are now starting to see positive effects of the goal-oriented efforts that have been ongoing within the Group for over two years, with higher utilization, stronger profitability, and a clearer focus in the organization. Although the market remains muted, we have improved both our efficiency and our margin during the quarter.
Our net sales for the quarter were SEK 1,221.9 (1,326.2) million and the adjusted EBITA margin was 5.1 percent, an improvement compared with the same period last year, when the margin was 4.4 percent. The main factor behind the profitability improvement is the continued improvement of our utilization.
During the quarter, we have welcomed new colleagues through the acquisitions of Insicon and Milso, which strengthen our position in key areas like defense and banking, finance, and insurance. At the same time, we have streamlined our operations through the disposal of our Danish company Knowit Consulting Services A/S, a step that clarifies our focus on growth and specialization.
The positive development in Solutions and Experience has remained during the third quarter. Utilization of our consultants continues to increase and we see a clear growth in both demand and deliveries of projects using AI to drive digitalization and efficiency. Within Experience, we have seen a growing interest in our ability to create comprehensive experiences that unify tech, design, and user-friendly interfaces.
Connectivity, which has for a time been affected by lower demand, is also showing clear improvement. The actions we have taken, combined with increased confidence from existing clients, more efficient resource planning, and more active sales efforts, are yielding results.
In the business area Insight, some challenges remain, and the quarter has been shaped by active efforts to create a more stable, higher utilization of consultants. The third quarter is traditionally a quieter time for management consultancy operations, as many projects take time to start up after the summer. Slow decision-making and downsized projects continue to create uncertainty going forward. At the same time, demand for cybersecurity, law, and defense remains high, and we have had a steady inflow of new competence in these areas during the period, strengthening us ahead of the coming quarter.
Even if the market as a whole has yet to turn a corner, we are seeing a positive trend. With an increased pace in recruitment for our strongest growth areas, we are now taking careful steps towards a return to organic growth.
Our structured work to actively change and improve our sales efforts means that we are getting new interesting assignments. Our consultants work close to our clients, to jointly develop the digital business models of companies and organizations. In a time of small budgets, dialogue has become increasingly important, to understand the clients' actual needs and provide hands-on solutions that have an impact here and now.
Simultaneously, we continue to invest in areas where we see long-term growth, such as AI solutions, sustainability-driven innovation, and modern digital platforms. We work actively to implement AI for our clients, where the technology is used to create new business values, more efficient processes, and better decision support. In parallel, we are integrating AI into our own work methods, to increase efficiency and free up time for analysis, creativity, and client dialogues.
We work actively to implement AI for our clients, where the technology is used to create new business values, more efficient processes, and better decision support.
We operate in a time when many clients remain cautious with new investments. Within the private sector, longer decisionmaking processes and clearer prioritizations remain noticeable, but we have seen that the development in the public sector is trending upward after a period of lower activity. Still, our stable position and long experience have meant that we are strong, and with the need for digitalization and streamlining now increasing, we are seeing a high potential for continued positive development.
As we now enter the last quarter of the year, we do so with stability, power, and confidence. We continue to develop our client offers, our internal efficiency, and our collaborations between business areas. We strive to strengthen Knowit's profitability, competitiveness, and attractiveness for both clients, employees, and shareholders – and thereby we create the conditions for a return to organic growth.

Net sales for the quarter were SEK 1,221.9 (1,326.2). Exchange rate developments had a negative effect on EBITA totaling SEK -22.5 (-40.8) million. Profit before amortization of intangible assets (EBITA) was SEK 77.4 (57.9) million. The adjusted EBITA profit increased to SEK 62.5 (57.9) million, adjusted for acquisition and integration costs of SEK 1.6 (–) million and SEK 0.3 (–) million, respectively, and for capital gain of SEK -16.8 (–) million related to the disposal of a subsidiary. Normal working hours for the quarter were 513 (513). Adjusted for exchange rates, Knowit has increased its prices compared with in the preceding year but has not managed to fully compensate for increased wages. The focus on continued cost savings and streamlining remains. Cash flow from operating activities was SEK -40.8 (170.7) million, where the change in operating capital contributed SEK -92.4 (99.8) million. The change as compared with the previous year is explained mainly by increased accounts receivable.

1) Adjustments pertain to the acquisition of Insicon AB and the disposal of Knowit Consulting Services A/S.
Solutions is Knowit's largest business area, with operations on all of Knowit's markets in the Nordic region. With around 1,660 consultants, we have broad and deep competence throughout the entire system development chain, from understanding needs and setting up architecture to development, testing, security, and implementation. We seldom build readymade packages; more often these are tailored solutions where modern technology and Al are crucial ingredients in the process.
We have a particularly strong position in the public sector, where demand for modern, sustainable, and secure solutions remains high. For instance, we build the solutions of the future for citizens and authorities, with high security and accessibility as a natural foundation. Within banking and finance, we work with established institutions and disruptors that challenge traditional structures.
In the industry sector, we have long-term collaborations with medium-sized and large companies, where we develop advanced, cloud-based solutions for managing large data volumes. This requires both technical expertise and an ability to understand complex operations. Our deliveries are increasingly provided in cross-functional and agile teams. This enables us to work close to the client's own organization, adapt quickly and ensure that the solutions truly make a difference - both in everyday situations and in the longer term. With a focus on quality, security, and usefulness, Solutions plays a key role in Knowit's offer and is a reliable partner in our clients' digital development.
The trend in Solutions remains positive and the quarter shows a strong result with an improved margin as compared with the previous year. We have taken necessary steps to adapt our organization and increase internal efficiency. We are now on much firmer ground, with better utilization and profitability. The profit development has been particularly strong in Norway and Finland, and the development in Sweden is in the right direction.

The business area Experience is one of the leading digital agencies in the Nordic region, with 775 specialists at the interface between technology, communication, and business. By taking responsibility for the entire digital customer experience, we help companies and organizations achieve their goals, whether this involves strengthening a brand, increasing sales, or improving access to society's services. The effects are often measurable, in terms of both growth and improved profitability.
In our projects, we often interlace form and functionality. This might involve design, user experience, app and web development, data-driven marketing, or analytics – but always with people in focus. Whether the goal is to build an online store with high conversion, create a digital service that simplifies everyday life, or strengthen the impression of a brand, we start from insights and build on them, with technology and creativity.
We work close to our clients, often in long-term, trusting relationships that grow over time. Some assignments are in the form of strategic partnerships, whereas others are clearly delimited projects. However, they all have in common that we see our work as one part of something greater: creating digital solutions that truly make a difference. Experience also has a strong presence in the public sector, where we are often shown the confidence to improve digital solutions close to citizens, using inclusive and accessible design.
We are seeing a clear improvement in utilization in the quarter, driven primarily by a positive trend in Sweden. The investments we have made in sales and management are bearing fruit and several new deals build confidence. We see that profitability is affected by prices dropping at the same time as costs per employee have increased. Sweden is the market where utilization has improved most and we see possibilities of selective recruitment. The development in Finland has been strong this quarter and the development on the Norwegian market remains stable.
We are pleased that the positive trend remains and that development is moving in the right direction. Our focus going forward is striking the right balance between price and utilization, to create the conditions for sustainable and high profitability.

tion, and interaction. The technology has the potential not only to connect more things, but also to do so more efficiently, more sustainability, and better adapted to future needs.
With a focus on efficiency, security, and sustainability, Connectivity is a strategic partner for companies that want to be at the forefront of technology.

We are seeing that our efforts and intense work to sign new deals and reorganize have had effect, and create the potential for further improvement and growth. Utilization is now at a stable level, with the potential for further improvement. Recruiting the right competence and continuing to develop client relations that make us more resilient on a tough market are our main challenges in the coming quarter.

The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency is tasked with raising the level of cybersecurity in Sweden. One of the tools is Cybersäkerhetskollen [The Cybersecurity Check-up], which provides the Agency with a national status update and helps individual organizations review their own security efforts.
The tool is based on questionnaires covering multiple areas, like information security, IT security, operational technology (OT) security, and supply chain security. The challenge has been creating sets of questions that are comprehensive enough to provide a good overview of current status but are still simple and limited enough to be perceived as manageable by respondents.
In the ongoing development of Cybersäkerhetskollen, Knowit has had a central role in developing the OT security review, focusing on security in control and operations systems. OT security is a broad field, spanning from energy companies and the manufacturing industry to the transportation sector. Knowit has contributed expertise in creating questions based on the standard
IEC 62443, with a focus on striking a balance of questions that are representative of the area and that can apply to many different kinds of operations, without bloat.
In addition to developing questions, Knowit has also contributed to the work of testing and implementation, to ensure that Cybersäkerhetskollen is a tool that is perceived as clear, relevant, and applicable in practice.
With Knowit's support, Cybersäkerhetskollen has become more comprehensive and now also includes OT security, a dimension that was not formerly followed up on systematically. The tool is now well-known across Swedish operations and provides the Civil Contingencies Agency with better data for assessing the national cybersecurity level. At the same time, it helps individual organizations to develop and follow up on their own security efforts in a way that is manageable in day-to-day work.

Hogia wanted to further develop its e-signature service Hogia Signit and ensure that it would meet the demands of the future. As
the service is used to sign legally binding documents, such as minutes from board meetings, annual reports, and contracts, it was crucial that the underlying technology lived up to the requirements in both Swedish law and the EU eIDAS regulation. The requirements on advanced electronic signatures (AES) meant that Hogia needed a partner that could guarantee security, legal compliance, and future adaptations.
After evaluating several suppliers, Hogia chose Knowit's own e-signature solution Signport. The service is developed in Sweden, based on DIGG's framework, and delivered with an API that enables flexible integration with Hogia Signit. Signport ensures that each signature is personal and advanced, in accordance with eIDAS and Swedish law, while the technology is also continuously updated in step with new regulatory requirements – such as the future eIDAS 2.0.
With Signport as a foundation, Hogia has future-proofed Hogia Signit. The service delivers nearly 100% uptime and is used by tens of thousands of users every year for secure signatures. The combination of high availability, legal compliance, and continuous development means that Hogia can offer its clients a safe and scalable e-signature service even in a quickly changing digital environment.

Heidenreich is one of Norway's leading suppliers in HVAC, delivering products and solutions to plumbers across the country. To meet new requirements from the market and facilitate their customers' everyday life, the company – in close partnership with Knowit – has developed a new e-commerce platform and integration hub.
The existing solution was rich in functionality, but hard to use and lacked an efficient way of gathering large amounts of product data. Knowit's task was to build a modern, flexible platform that could deal with over 45,000 products, including many variants, thousands of customers with their own unique price files, and complex integrations with business systems.
The work started from the plumbers' needs. Through interviews, observations, and tests, Knowit gained insight into how orders were actually made and which problems could arise. This shaped both the information
infrastructure and the new search function. The AI search engine Algolia was chosen as an engine and trained using domain-specific knowledge and user data, to ensure more accurate hits.
To ensure high data quality and smooth dataflows between systems, we created an integration hub connecting the e-commerce system to ERP and other operations-critical systems.
Since the launch, over 6,500 orders have been made in the system, and net sales have already exceeded those in the old system. Evaluations show that nine of ten customers prefer the new solution, which offers a faster, more reliable purchasing experience with fewer erroneous orders.
Heidenreich is now better equipped for the future, with a platform that combines user insight, technical precision, and digital visibility – developed together with Knowit.

During the period, the average number of employees has decreased to 3,545 (3,814). The average number of employees decreased to 1,665 (1,838) in Sweden, decreased to 904 (960) in Norway, decreased to 405 (450) in Finland, increased to 285 (278) in Poland, and decreased to 256 (274) in Denmark.
On July 1, 2025, Knowit AB acquired 100 percent of the shares in Milso AB, a company that offers services in technology, management, and IT, with a focus on clients in the defense area. The company is an important addition to Knowit's business area Insight. Milso has around 20 employees.
On July 1, 2025, Knowit AB acquired 100 percent of the shares in Insicon AB, a company that offers an extensive business system for the insurance sector, combined with consultancy services to the European market. The company will be an important addition to Knowit's business area Solutions. Insicon has around 50 employees, with a smaller management and marketing function in Sweden and a larger development and support unit in Serbia.
Both acquisition analyses are preliminary. For more information, see page 24.
On July 1, 2025, Knowit AB disposed of the Danish subsidiary Knowit Consulting Services A/S to Right People Group A/S. Knowit Consulting Services A/S was wholly owned by the Knowit Group and had around ten employees and a significant number of freelance consultants invoiced via Knowit. Consultant brokering operations are not in line with Knowit's strategy, for which reason we see that the subsidiary's continued development will have better conditions with a new owner. The disposal was performed at an enterprise value of DKK 96 million. The transaction pertains to a non-strategic operation and is therefore assessed as not having any significant impact on the Group.
The disposal generated a positive result of SEK 16.8 million, attributable to reclassified accumulated translation differences, among other things.
In June 2024, the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth decided to request repayment of a large part of the support for short-time work that the Group and its acquired units were granted during 2020, in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Knowit did not share the views of the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth and appealed the decision to the Administrative Court in Stockholm. On June 19, 2025, the Administrative Court ruled in favor of the appeals for two subsidiaries but rejected the appeals in all other cases. All judgments have been appealed to the Administrative Court of Appeals. The total amount in question was SEK 28.4 million; this affected the results in 2024.
As one step in achieving our ambition of integrating sustainability into our core operations, we are actively preparing for the CSRD requirements, with a focus on ensuring transparency, quality, and traceability in the reporting.
The Group's revenue and operating results are subject to seasonal variation, which means that they vary by quarter. The number of working days and, by extension, normal working hours, affect net sales and profit. The quarter that includes the Easter period – the first or second – has lower revenue, leading to a lower profit, as the costs are largely unchanging, unlike the revenue. The revenue is affected negatively, as the activity on the market decreases or is non-existent on these days. Further, the second and third quarters of the group's financial year are affected by including parts of the summer holiday period, which impacts on the demand for the Group's services. The fourth quarter is affected by the workdays and normal working hours that are dropped due to the Christmas and New Year holidays.
For the financial year 2025, normal working hours total 1,942 (1,949), of which 485 (486) hours in the first quarter, 461 (469) hours in the second quarter, 513 (513) hours in the third quarter, and 483 (481) hours in the fourth quarter.
The forward-looking information in this report is based on the expectations of Knowit's management team at the time of the report. Although Knowit's management team assesses these expectations to be reasonable, there is no guarantee that these expectations are or will turn out to be correct. Consequently, future outcomes may vary significantly compared with what is presented in the forward-looking information, depending for example on changed market conditions for the Knowit corporation's offerings and more general conditions related to economy, market, competition, regulatory changes and other alterations in policy, as well as variations in exchange rates. Knowit does not commit to updating or correcting such forward-looking information beyond what is required by law.
The Chief Executive Officer certifies that the interim report provides a true and fair view of the Group's and Parent Company's operations, financial position and results, and describes significant risks and uncertainty factors that the Parent Company and the companies within the Group are faced with.

To the Board of Directors of Knowit AB (publ) corp. id. 556391-0354
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (Interim Report) of Knowit AB (publ) as of September 30, 2025, and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this Interim Report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this Interim Report based on our review.
We conducted our summary review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A summary review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other summary review procedures. A summary review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices. The review actions taken in a summary review do not enable us to obtain such certainty that we would become aware of all the significant matters that might be identified in an audit. The statement given based on a summary review therefore does not have the certainty that a statement given based on an audit would have.
Based on our summary review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Interim Report is not prepared, in all material respects, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

This consolidated Interim Report for the Group has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Reporting and applicable provisions in the Annual Accounts Act.
The Interim Report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Annual Accounts Act on interim reporting.
For the Group and the Parent Company, the same accounting principles and grounds for assessments used in the latest Annual Report were used, in addition to the aforementioned accounting principles. Information in accordance with IAS 34.16A is presented through the financial reports and associated notes, see pages 17–23, as well as in other parts of the Interim Report.
All amounts in this report are given in SEK millions, unless otherwise stated. Rounding differences may occur.
Knowit's general essential business risks consist of reduced demand for consultancy services, problems attracting and retaining skilled personnel, price pressures and financial risks related to credit and exchange rates and, to a lesser extent, risks related to fixed price projects. Knowit is affected by general political, financial, and economiccircumstances. The current situation with a war in our vicinity and high inflation combined with high interest rates has significantly
increased the risk levels and shaped the market with large negative effects.
With a decreased demand for the Company's services comes short-term challenges with decreased utilization, where the business model creates a lead time in adjusting capacity to reach the high levels of the past. Further, the decentralized steering model creates a need for each subsidiary to quickly realize short-term measures for sales efforts and cost savings. This can in the short term
affect the Company's possibilities to generate a profit and growth in line with historic values and the financial targets.
For more information on risks, see the Annual Report 2024, pages 85–88 and 102–103.

The Group's operations are organized so that the corporate management mainly follows up net sales, EBITA result, EBITA margin, intangible assets, and average number of employees in the Group's five segments.
The segment Other includes, among other things, small-scale cloud services, where Knowit through partnerships can offer the cloud supplier that best fits the client's specific needs and IT structure. Further, it includes the parent companies' group-wide costs regarding management, finance, and marketing and adjustments pertaining to IFRS 16 that are not allocated to the segments.

At the Annual General Meetings 2023, 2024, and 2025, decisions were made in accordance with the Board's suggestion on share-based incentive programs (LTIPs). The incentive programs are aimed at members of the Corporate Management Team and other key personnel within the Knowit Group, in total around 40 people. To participate in an LTIP, the participant must make an investment of their own in company shares, in accordance with the terms of the program, and these shares must be allocated to the program. Each participant may invest in investment shares up to a total corresponding to at most 10 percent of their fixed annual salary before taxes. Each share acquired for this purpose is an "investment share." Depending on the participant category that a participant belongs to, the participant is allocated a certain number of share rights per investment shares acquired.
For category 1, each investment share entitles the holder to four share rights, for category 2, each investment share entitles the holder to three share rights, and for category 3, each investment share entitles the holder to two share rights. Following the selected vesting period of three years, the participants will be allotted shares in the company, free of cost, if certain conditions are met. These conditions are, with some exceptions, continued employment in the Group during the vesting period, that the holders' shareholdings in the Company have been unchanged during that period, and that certain performance goals have been reached.
The performance goals are earnings per share, EBITA margin, and an ESG target. Final allocation of share rights shall be based to 45 percent on earnings per share, 45 percent on the EBITA margin, and 10 percent on the ESG target. The performance goals include both a minimum level that must be reached in order for any allocation at all to be made, and a maximum level above which no further allocation will be made.
The maximum number of shares that can be allocated to participants within the framework of LTIP 2025 shall be set at 181,000, corresponding to around 0.66 percent of all shares and votes in the Company. The maximum value that a participant can gain per share right is limited to SEK 580, corresponding to around 450 percent of the price of the Company's share. As of September 30, 2025, a total of 142,064 share rights have been allocated to 34 employees. The weighted fair value of the share rights on the allocation day (SEK 128.41) was calculated using Monte Carlo simulation. In the valuation, account has been taken of the value-based limitations in the program.
For information on earlier long-term incentive programs, please see Note 7 in the Annual Report for 2024.
The table below summarizes the reported value of the Group's financial assets and liabilities, divided in accordance with the
valuation categories in IFRS 9. No financial assets or liabilities are reported at a value that significantly deviates from fair value.

Knowit uses alternative performance measures, as we believe they are relevant for following up the long-term financial targets and to provide a fair view of Knowit's profit and financial position. For instance, the Board has determined that the Company should grow faster than the market, with the goal of an annual growth rate of around 15 percent over time, and that the EBITA margin should grow to 12 percent over time. Further, net liabilities relative to EBITDA should not exceed two multiples over time. We also monitor capital employed, as it is an important aspect of the working capital turnover. Knowit's alternative performance measures are return on equity, return on capital employed, EBITA margin, EBITA profit, EBITDA profit, average capital employed and equity, adjusted EBITA margin, adjusted EBITA profit, net debt ratio, net sales per segment, and sales growth.
The calculations of alternative performance measures on this page pertain to the period January to September 2025.
For more information on our long-term financial targets and further definitions of performance measures, see pages 21 and 134 in the Annual Report for 2024.
Adjusted EBITA profit in relation to net sales for the period. (221.1 / 4,306.0 = 5.1%)
EBITA is adjusted for items affected comparability between different periods, to ease understanding of the Group's underlying operations. Adjusted items include costs related to acquisitions and disposals, such as costs for financial consulting, restructuring, and integration programs, as well as significant costs of a one-time nature. (233.1 + 4.5 + 0.3 – 16.8 = 221.1)
The average of the period's opening and closing balances of equity plus interest-bearing liabilities.
((4,137.7 + 863.1 + 158.9 + 4,017.6 + 663.8 + 155.9) / 2 = 4,998.5)
The average of the period's opening equity balance and the period's closing equity balance. ((4,137.7 + 4,017.6) / 2 = 4,077.7)
Profit before amortization of intangible assets (EBITA) in relation to net sales for the period. (233.1 / 4,306.0 = 5.4%)
Profit before amortization and write-downs of intangible assets. (233.1)
Profit before depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, respectively. (233.1 + 128.1 = 361.2)
Interest-bearing liabilities less financial interest-bearing assets less cash and cash equivalents.
(663.8 + 155.9 – 211.5 = 608.2)
Used to show the Company's indebtedness. Net debt in relation to equity. (608.2 / 4,017.6 = 0.2 multiples)
To promote collaboration between segments, the Corporate Management Team has decided that net sales for segments would include deductions for internal direct costs.
The number of hours an employee working full-time is expected to work. Normal working hours are weighted, meaning that account is taken of the fact that differences may occur between countries, legal entities, contracts, etc.
Profit after financial items plus financial expenses expressed as a percentage of average capital employed. ((82.3 + 34.9) / 4,998.5 = 2.3%)
Profit after full tax as a percentage of average equity including non-controlling interests. (60.4 / 4,077.7 = 1.5%)
Shows how much a company's sales have changed over a certain period. The period's net sales less the net sales of the preceding period, in relation to the net sales of the preceding period.
((4,306.0 – 4,773.8) / 4,773.8) = -9.8%)
