Röko is a perpetual owner of European small and medium-sized businesses and today we own 29 companies in a variety of industries across Europe. Our team has more than 100 years of combined experience working with owner-managed businesses across markets and in different situations. Röko acquires majority stakes in companies, predominantly in founder-owned companies, where the founders and management teams often remain invested in their own entity. We believe in empowering local management teams with autonomy and sharing incentives for local management to safeguard alignment of interest.
For the quarter, net sales increased 5% from MSEK 1,447 to MSEK 1,518, driven by acquisitions and organic growth, but negatively impacted by exchange rate differences of 4%. Sales for comparable companies decreased 2% in SEK but organically it increased 2% in local currency. For the nine-month period net sales increased 6% to MSEK 4,776 (4,513), driven by acquisitions and organic growth, but negatively impacted by exchange rate differences of 3%. For the nine-month period, the sales for comparable companies were flat in SEK but increased organically by 3% in local currency.
We see a mixed performance among the subsidiaries. Many companies are developing well, but some companies with exposure to the construction or automotive industries are experiencing weaker demand. Furthermore, some companies with sales in the US have lower sales because of trade tariffs. Six percent of Röko's net sales during the nine-month period originated from the US.
During the quarter Adj. EBITA increased 8%, from MSEK 254 to MSEK 275. The Adj. EBITA margin was unchanged during the quarter and was 18% (18%). Operating profit increased 10% to MSEK 212 (192) in the quarter. In the nine-month period, Adj. EBITA increased to MSEK 983 (889) , driven by acquisitions and organic growth, but partly offset by negative exchange rate differences. The Adj. EBITA margin increased to 21% (20%) during the nine-month period. We always work to improve the operating margins of our subsidiaries. Operating profit increased to MSEK 758 (706) during the nine-month period. Operating profit and net profit are negatively impacted by MSEK 41 in the nine-month period due to transaction costs related to the listing of Röko's B shares on Nasdaq Stockholm in March 2025. We always work with improving margins in all our business units. 6% of Röko's net sales in the nine-month period stem from the US, of which less than 2% relate to sales of goods manufactured in China. We have experienced a weak development in net sales for our US exposed companies since the trade tariffs were introduced. Most of Röko's companies are expected to be able to raise their prices to compensate for the costs arising from the tariffs.
Cash flow from operational activities increased to MSEK 210 (209) in the quarter. The operational cash flow decreased to MSEK 717 (763) for the nine-month period. The subsidiaries operating liabilities have declined in the nine-month period which have an adverse effect on cash flow. The cash flow is negatively impacted by MSEK 41 in the nine-month period due to transaction costs related to the listing of Röko's B shares on Nasdaq Stockholm in March 2025.
In the third quarter, RWP Holding GmbH ("ATEMAG"), one of Röko's business units in the B2B segment, acquired OPPOLD SYSTEM International GmbH in Germany. The company manufactures professional tools for solid wood processing, particularly for window and door production, and has net sales corresponding to EUR 3 million. OPPOLD was consolidated into the B2B segment in August 2025 and is Röko's second acquisition in Germany.
The relation between interest-bearing net debt and LTM Adj. EBITDA was 0.3x (0.4x) at the end of the quarter. Financial net debt (including put / call option debt and deferred considerations) amounted to 2.1x (2.2x) LTM Adj. EBITDA at the end of the quarter, which is well below our target to not exceed 3.0x over the long term. Röko has a strong financial position with the possibility to acquire companies in line with our investment criteria.
Return on capital employed was 14.5% (13.8%) in the nine-month period, which is higher than last year. The return is lower than comparable companies and is a result of Röko being a new company, in which growth predominantly has been driven by acquisitions.
Earnings per share increased by 5% in the quarter and amounted to SEK 37.65 (35.97). Earnings per share is negatively impacted by SEK 2.82 in the nine-month period, due to transaction costs related to the listing of Röko's B shares on Nasdaq Stockholm in March 2025.
On March 11, 2025, Röko's B shares were listed on Nasdaq Stockholm. In connection with the listing, the number of shares decreased from 14,832,500 to 14,624,008 through the cancellation of 208,492 Class A shares. The number of Class B shares remained unchanged at 12,136,500, while the number of Class A shares decreased to 2,487,508.
Fredrik Karlsson CEO Stockholm, 24 October 2025
Net sales increased to MSEK 1,518 (1,447) during the quarter, driven by acquisitions and organic growth, but negatively impacted by exchange rate differences of 4%. Sales decreased 2% in comparable companies in SEK but organically it increased by 2% in local currency. Earnings per share for the quarter amounted to SEK 10.00 (10.40). Operating profit increased to MSEK 212 (192) during the quarter. Adj. EBITA was MSEK 275 (254). The Adj. EBITA margin was unchanged and amounted to 18% (18%).
Net financial items were MSEK -15 (7) in the quarter which is explained by a non-recurring item in the third quarter last year due to a revaluation of a deferred consideration that had a positive impact of MSEK 27. Income tax increased to MSEK 51 (45). The effective tax rate increased to 26% (23%), mainly as a result of the revaluation of a deferred consideration that is not subject to tax. Net profit for the quarter decreased from MSEK 154 to MSEK 146.
From 2025-06-30 to 2025-09-30, the Group's interest-bearing net debt decreased by MSEK 214 to MSEK 509. In the quarter, the Group's put/call option debt for shares relating to non-controlling interests and earn-out obligation increased to MSEK 2,635 (2,631), due to exchange rate differences.
The cash flow from operational activities increased to MSEK 210 (209) and group cash amounted to MSEK 491 at the end of the quarter. Quarterly cash flows can be volatile and difficult to assess due to fluctuations on the customer prepayments.
* Return on capital employed in the quarter has been calculated based on the opening and closing balance for the quarter and by calculating the Adj. EBITA for the last six months. Please refer to Reconciliation of alternative key performance indicators on page 26-30.
Net sales increased to MSEK 4,776 (4,513) during the nine-month period, driven by acquisitions and organic growth, but negatively impacted by exchange rate differences of 3%. Acquisitions in the nine-month period added MSEK 81 of net sales in the nine-month period. Sales for comparable companies were flat in SEK but increased organically by 3% in local currency. Earnings per share for the nine-month period was SEK 37.65 (35.97). Operating profit increased to MSEK 758 (706) during the nine-month period. MSEK 41 of costs for listing Röko's B share on Nasdaq Stockholm are included in the transaction costs, which impact operating profit and net profit negatively in the nine-month period. Adj. EBITA increased to MSEK 983 (889) and the Adj. EBITA margin increased to 21% (20%). Acquisitions completed in the nine-month period accounted for MSEK 24 of the increase and MSEK 70 from companies that were consolidated at the start of the nine-month period.
Net financial items were MSEK -26 (-22) in the nine-month period. Income tax increased to MSEK 179 (150). The effective tax rate increased and was 25% (22%). Net profit for the nine-month period increased to MSEK 553 (534).
Capital employed increased 3% from 2024-12-31 to 2025-09-30 to MSEK 9,245 (8,969), mainly driven by acquisitions. Impairment testing of goodwill and trademarks as of 2025-09-30 shows that the value in use exceeds the carrying amount for all cash-generating units, and therefore no impairment is required. Return on Capital Employed* (ROCE) amounted to 14.5% (13.8%) for the nine-month period. The lower return is a result of Röko being a new company with high growth, mainly through acquisitions.
From 2024-12-31 to 2025-09-30, the Group's interest-bearing net debt increased by MSEK 301 to MSEK 509. In the nine-month period, the Group's put/call option debt for shares relating to non-controlling interests and earn-out obligation decreased by MSEK 100 to MSEK 2,635. Refer to specification on page 17 as explanation to the change in the nine-month period.
The cash flow from operational activities decreased to MSEK 717 (763) and cash amounted to MSEK 491 at the end of the ninemonth period. The cash flow in the nine-month period is negatively impacted by MSEK 41 due to expenses from the listing of Röko's B shares on Nasdaq Stockholm.
The Group's Interest-bearing net debt in relation to LTM Adj. EBITDA is 0.3x. Total financial net debt (Including put/call option debt for non-controlling interest and earn-out obligations) to LTM Adj. EBITDA is 2.1x, which is low compared with our target to not exceed 3.0x long-term.
During the nine-month period Röko completed two acquisitions: Topa, that designs and sells bathroom products such as faucets, bathroom furniture, and accessories in the Benelux under its own brand Brauer, and OPPOLD that manufactures tools for solid wood processing that was acquired by Röko's subsidiary RWP Holding. The acquisitions were financed with cash from Röko's balance sheet and bank debt.

Röko AB (publ) is a perpetual owner of niche businesses across a variety of industries. Röko AB (publ) has 5 employees and recorded a net profit of MSEK 376 (197) in the nine-months period, of which MSEK 40 (-18) in the third quarter. The net profit was negatively impacted by expenses related to the initial public offering (IPO) in March of MSEK 41 (0) in the nine-month period. Röko AB (publ) received MSEK 272 (285) in dividends during the nine-month period and MSEK 10 (0) during the third quarter. Röko AB (publ) received MSEK 123 (131) in repayments of loans from the companies in the group during the nine-month period.
At the end of the quarter, the number of employees in the Group was 1,596 (1,501 in December 2024).
No significant events have occurred after the end of the period.
Transactions between Röko AB (publ) and the other Group companies have been eliminated in the consolidated financials as presented in this report. Any sale of goods or services between Group companies are done on market terms and at arm's length. Intragroup sales amounted to MSEK 80 in the quarter and MSEK 307 in the nine-month period. Röko has not entered into new commercial agreements with related parties to the companies in the Group. The related party transactions are mostly relating to lease of properties for the companies' facilities, and no single closely related party transaction is material for the group. The Group had transactions that amounted to MSEK 25 in the nine-month period under existing commercial agreements with individuals and companies that are closely related to the Group companies.
The risk factors which have the largest impact on Röko are the competitive situation, structural changes in the market, and the general level of economic activity. The Röko Group is experiencing weaker demand for some companies in both business segments. The Röko Group has interest-bearing net debt of MSEK 509, which equals 0.3x LTM Adj. EBITDA. An increase of the interest rate with 1% on Röko's interest-bearing debt would impact our net profit with MSEK -4 for the next year. The M&A market is volatile, and the number of opportunities can be low during uncertain periods. Röko is also exposed to financial risks, including currency risks, interest rate risks, credit, and counterparty risks. At the end of the quarter the Group had MSEK 491 in cash and overdraft of SEK 350 million to Röko AB (publ), of which MSEK 350 was unutilized at the end of the quarter.
The Parent Company is affected by the above risks and uncertainties in its capacity as owner of the subsidiary companies. For further information on Röko's risks and risk management, Röko refers to page 13-14 and Note 3 and 4 in the Annual Report for 2024.
The group's income exhibits seasonal variations, in particular relating to the B2C segment. The first and second quarter are normally stronger, and the third quarter weaker, on a comparable basis.
The group applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations from IFRIC, as adopted by the European Union, the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's standard RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups and related interpretations and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
The Group's interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. In respect of the Parent Company, the report has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and Recommendation RFR 2 Financial Reporting for Legal Entities of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board. The accounting policies have been applied in accordance with those which are presented in Note 2 on pages 24-29 in the 2024 Annual Report and should be read in conjunction with these.
The interim information on pages 1-6 is an integrated part of this financial report. This English report is an unofficial translation. In case of any discrepancy between the English and the Swedish version, the Swedish shall prevail.
In the year-end report 2024, certain definitions of Key Performance Indicators were changed. For current definitions, see pages 24-25 of this report. Comparative periods have been recalculated in accordance with the current definitions.
During the fourth quarter of 2024, a decision was made to implement certain reclassifications of costs in the Consolidated Income Statement in accordance with IFRS to ensure a more accurate financial reporting. Amortization of intangible assets arising from acquisitions, which are not recognized locally by subsidiaries, has been reclassified from administrative expenses to sales and marketing expenses. This reclassification was made because these amortizations primarily stem from customer relationships and therefore are more appropriately classified under selling expenses. Additionally, amortization of right of use assets has been reclassified from other operating expenses to administrative expenses. This reclassification was made because leasing costs mainly consist of property rents, mainly for admin purposes, which are more appropriately classified as an administrative expense.

For the third quarter of 2024, hedge of net investment increased by MSEK 11, hedge of debt has been cleared and decreased by MSEK 4, and translation differences have been decreased by MSEK 8. For the nine-month period of 2024, hedge of net investment decreased by MSEK 23, hedge of debt has been cleared and increased by MSEK 22, and translation differences have been increased by MSEK 1.
The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer warrant and declare that this interim report gives a true and fair view of the Parent Company's and the Group's operations, financial positions and results, and that it describes significant risks and uncertainties faced by the Parent Company and the companies in the Group.

Röko AB (publ), reg. no. 559195-4812
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Röko AB (publ) as of 30 September 2025 and the nine-month period then ended for the group and the period 1 January – 30 September 2025 for the parent company. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.

* Deferred considerations are liabilities which are recognised at fair value over the income statement and put/call option debt is valued at fair value over equity in accordance with IFRS 9.
Leasing liabilities amounted to MSEK 573 (498) and are not included in the Group's definition of financial net debt as per Röko's bank covenant agreement with the banks. The leasing liability would represent 0.4x (0.4x) LTM Adj. EBITDA.
** Other liabilities consist of other current liabilities and accrued expenses.
Financial instruments are valued at their fair value depending on the classification of fair value in the hierarchy: Quoted prices (level 2) and nonobservable market data points (level 3). The liabilities that Röko has which are non-observable are put/call liabilities for non-controlling shares in the subsidiary companies and earn-out obligations. No transfers between the levels have occurred during the quarter, or during last year. Changes in the value of put/call debts are made in equity over the balance sheet while changes in the value of earn-out liabilities occur in the Income Statement. In case the interest-rate impact is deemed to be material an amendment is made in the quarter. The fair value of short-term borrowing corresponds to the carrying amount, as the discounting effect is not significant.
The tables below display changes and recognitions of deferred considerations and put/call option liabilities.

The report includes financial key ratios that are based on IFRS (e.g. earnings per share) and in addition Röko also uses additional other key ratios (Alternative KPIN - Alternative Key Performance Indicators) to describe and assess the Group's operations. These Alternative metrics and Alternative KPIs are to be considered as a complement to the financial reporting as presented in accordance with IFRS. Note that these definitions may differ from other companies' definitions of the same terms.
Adj. EBITA Adj. EBITA is a metric that Röko considers relevant for investors to understand the earnings
generation of Röko's acquired business units. It is also the metric used for internal evaluation of Röko's business areas. Operating profit before amortization and impairment of intangible assets related to business acquisitions and acquisition costs. Adj. EBITA serves as an approximation of cash flow before tax, assuming that investments reflect depreciation, which is generally the case
since Röko invests in asset-light companies.
Adj. EBITA margin Adj. EBITA divided by net sales. Used to assess efficiency and value creation, excluding the effects
of amortization and impairment of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions.
Adj. EBITA growth The increase in Adj. EBITA between two periods expressed as a percentage. Used to assess the
group's ability to grow in relation to competitors and the market as a whole.
Adj. EBITDA Adj. EBITDA is a metric that Röko considers relevant for investors to understand the earnings generation of Röko's acquired business units. Operating profit before depreciation and impairment
of tangible fixed assets, intangible fixed assets, and acquisition costs. Adj. EBITDA serves as an
approximation of cash flow before investments and tax.
Adj. EBITDA margin Adj. EBITDA divided by net sales. Used to assess efficiency and value creation, excluding the effects
of depreciation on tangible assets as well as amortization and impairment of intangible assets.
LTM LTM (Last Six Months) information on net sales, Adj. EBITDA, Adj. EBITA, and net profit for the period
is based on the reported figures from the group reporting during the last six months in which the companies have been consolidated into the group. This figure corresponds to the consolidated fullyear figure at year-end. For quarters, it is calculated as the consolidated figures for the current quarter, plus the full-year figure from the previous year, minus the same quarter from the previous year. The LTM figure can also be calculated by adding the consolidated figures for the last four
quarters.
Financial net debt Röko uses the alternative key metric financial net debt. This metric helps users of financial reports
assess the company's ability to pay dividends, make strategic investments, and meet financial obligations. Röko defines the key metric as follows: short- and long-term liabilities to credit institutions, bond loans, interest-bearing pension provisions, liabilities for put/call options related to non-controlling interests, and additional consideration related to acquisitions, less cash and cash
equivalents. The debt includes both interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing liabilities.
Financial net Röko uses the alternative key metric Financial Net Debt/LTM Adj. EBITDA to provide external
debt/LTM Adj. EBITDA, times stakeholders with an understanding of the group's debt level in relation to a cash-flow-related earnings metric. This key metric is relevant as it is one of the key ratios used in agreements with
creditors and provides insight into the company's ability to make strategic investments and meet
financial obligations.
Net sales Net sales are the group's revenues minus returns, discounts, and direct taxes.
Acquired net sales Total net sales for the group's acquisitions made during a period for the most recent nine-month
period up to the reporting date. This metric is based on the group's net sales and the acquired companies' reporting for the period from the start of the period until the acquisition date. The key metric is relevant for assessing the group's acquisition intensity and growth through acquisitions.
Earnings per share Profit after tax attributable to the parent company's shareholders, divided by the average number of
outstanding shares. The key metric is used to distribute the group's earnings per share.
Interest-bearing net
Röko uses the alternative key metric interest-bearing net debt. This metric helps users of financial reports assess the company's ability to pay dividends, make strategic investments, and meet financial obligations. Röko defines the key metric as follows: short- and long-term liabilities to credit
institutions, bond loans, and interest-bearing pension provisions, less cash and cash equivalents.
Interest-bearing net debt/LTM Adj. EBITDA, times Röko presents interest-bearing net debt in relation to LTM Adj. EBITDA to relate the debt to the group's earnings generation before depreciation, interest expenses, and tax. This metric gives readers an understanding of the company's ability to meet its financial obligations and assess its
interest-bearing debt level.
debt
Capital employed Capital employed represents the company's net assets that generate earnings and is a metric used to calculate returns and measure the group's efficiency. It is useful for financial report users to understand how the group finances itself. Röko defines capital employed as total assets minus cash and cash equivalents, interest-bearing pension provisions, and non-interest-bearing liabilities except for liabilities related to put/call options and additional considerations related to acquisitions. The key metric is crucial for enabling calculation and assessment of the group's efficiency.
Capital employed excluding intangible assets arising from acquisitions
Capital employed excluding acquisition-related intangible assets is a metric used by Röko to calculate return on capital employed and measure the group's efficiency. Röko considers this metric useful for financial report users to understand the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets on the capital requiring returns and to simplify comparisons between Röko and other comparable companies with longer operating histories. Röko defines capital employed excluding acquisitionrelated intangible assets as total assets minus cash and cash equivalents, interest-bearing pension provisions, non-interest-bearing liabilities except for liabilities related to put/call options and additional considerations related to acquisitions, goodwill, and other acquisition-related intangible assets. This key metric is crucial for assessing the group's efficiency.
Return on equity LTM Net profit for the period after tax divided by the average equity for the period. Return on equity measures how efficiently the company uses shareholders' capital to generate profit.
Return on capital employed
LTM Adj. EBITA for the period adjusted for non-recurring items, annualized if the period is shorter than six months, divided by the average capital employed for the period, calculated as the average between the opening and closing balance. This metric indicates the group's efficiency in utilizing capital. Röko is a relatively young and rapidly growing group, mainly driven by acquisitions, making this metric potentially misleading year-over-year and in comparisons with similar companies.
Return on capital employed excluding intangible assets arising from acquisitions
LTM Adj. EBITA before acquisition costs divided by the average capital employed excluding acquisition-related intangible assets, calculated as the average between the opening and closing balance. This metric indicates the group's efficiency in utilizing capital and provides external stakeholders with insights into the subsidiaries' return profiles.
Organic growth Röko presents the alternative key metric Organic Growth, which is considered relevant for external stakeholders to assess whether Röko as a group achieves growth, excluding acquisitions. The key metric is used to analyze underlying growth in net sales and is based on net sales per company included in the group throughout the period and the comparable period. The prior year's exchange rate has been used for both periods, and organic growth is calculated as a geometric mean.
Put and call option liabilities
Röko presents an alternative financial liability related to mandatory put and call options concerning non-controlling interests. This refers to the total value of the liability to settle the options that the parent company has agreed upon with non-controlling interest shareholders in each subsidiary. The liability is based on the company's assessment of the probable cash outflow required to settle the obligation and acquire the shares not owned by the parent company. Declared dividends to noncontrolling interest holders are included in the liability and are part of the Group's cash flow from financing activities. This metric is used to assess the development of the liability and the Group's ability to repay its debts within the contractual periods.
The interim report presents alternative metrics (KPIs) for assessing the Group's performance. The primary alternative KPIs presented in this interim report are Adj. EBITA, Adj. EBITDA, net debt, and capital employed. Definitions of the alternative KPIs are presented on page 24-25.
