Comments from the CEO

Strong uplift in profitability continues

Following another quarter of a significant EBIT margin step-up, we have now successfully established a strong uplift in profitability and are steadily approaching our mid-term target of an EBIT margin of at least 12 per cent by 2027. This permanent uplift is mainly driven by the focus on margin enhancing activities, continued product portfolio optimisation and cost control, while executing our fair pricing strategy.

Year-to-date organic sales growth totalled 2.2 per cent following quarterly organic sales growth of 1.3 per cent. Reported sales decreased -0.9 per cent due to exchange differences of -2.2 per cent.

During the quarter inflation continued to slow down, for confectionery often exemplified by the price of cocoa coming down somewhat from historically high levels. The slowing inflation further affected the market dynamics, where retailers and food industry manufacturers in Europe are facing societal and political pressure related to food pricing. In this environment, we delivered strong organic growth in the Nordic region, while short-term sales were affected in the rest of Europe. At the same time, lower inflation creates opportunities and with the strategic strength of our broad portfolio and aided by our new strategic framework, we continue on a clear path towards our longterm target to grow organic sales by 3-4 per cent.

Our Pick & mix segment continues to deliver according to plan and delivered its seventh consecutive quarter of profitability in line with the long-term EBIT target, updated from the previous 5-7 to 7-9 per cent earlier this year. Our geographical expansion of Pick & mix is proceeding as planned and our two CandyKing concept pilot installations in the US have provided valuable insights into consumer preferences. Our total sales to the US continue to grow with doubledigit numbers and we look forward to sharing more news related to the US before year-end.

Our commitment to profitable growth is reflected by our adjusted EBIT margin of 11.9 per cent in the quarter, bringing our rolling 12 month profitability to 11.4 per cent. We are steadily approaching our target of at least 12 per cent by 2027 with continued strong and strategic investments in our ten Superbrands.

Our attractive cash flow generation continued in the quarter. Our consistently improving Net debt/EBITDA ratio matched our all-time low level and remains well below our long-term target and what is a healthy level for an FMCG company. With a strong financial position and the profitability uplift, we have created good conditions to also deliver on fourth financial target; our updated dividend policy.

"Our commitment to profitable growth is reflected by our adjusted EBIT margin of 11.9 per cent in the quarter, bringing our rolling 12-month profitability to 11.4 per cent.

We are steadily approaching our target of at least 12 per cent by 2027."

In April, we announced our plan to more closely align our operating structure to the new strategic priorities and improve agility. All major project milestones have now been delivered, and we continue to expect to achieve up to 20 per cent of the annualised savings of SEK 60-70 million in the second half of the year, and the full effect in the first quarter of 2026.

We are progressing as planned in creating the even stronger, more focused and more efficient Cloetta!

Financial overview

Q3 development

Changes in operating environment and short-term uncertainties

Russia's escalation of the war in Ukraine that started in 2022 and the conflict in the Middle East continue to entail risks of further impact on the global economy, further cost inflation, and disruptions in supply chains, including the war risks spreading into other geographies. Cloetta does not have operations in any of the countries directly affected by the increased geopolitical uncertainty.

Cloetta has remained largely unaffected by the increased global market uncertainty related to US tariffs and potential retaliatory measures.

In the interim results for January–March 2024, Cloetta recognised a provision for an isolated case of a raw material quality deviation. Cloetta expects to receive the related compensation during the upcoming 6 months.

Greenfield facility

On 10 February 2025, Cloetta announced that the company will not proceed with the greenfield investment project in the Netherlands. The decision was made due to the previously communicated increased risk relating to energy supply and the permitting process that was still on-going, and as a reassessment had confirmed the ability to develop Cloetta's long-term financial and supply network flexibility without the greenfield plant. The project remained in an early phase with relatively limited investments.

Net sales

Net sales for the quarter decreased by SEK -19m to SEK 2,177m (2,196) compared to the same period last year. Organic growth was 1.3 per cent.

Changes in net sales, % Jul-Sep 2025 Jan-Sep2025
Organic growth 1.3 2.2
Structural changes 1 - -0.7
Changes in exchange rates -2.2 -2.0
Total -0.9 -0.5

Gross profit

Gross profit, adjusted for items affecting comparability, amounted to SEK 697m (697) which equates to a gross margin, adjusted, of 32.0 per cent (31.7). Gross profit, adjusted, increased driven by margin-enhancing initiatives in Pick & mix and the effect of previous pricing, fully offset by lower volumes for Branded packaged products and changes in foreign exchange rates. Gross profit amounted to SEK 699m (703) which equates to a gross margin of 32.1 per cent (32.0).

Operating profit

Operating profit, adjusted for items affecting comparability, amounted to SEK 259m (238), mainly driven by gross margin improvement and continued cost control in the quarter. The uplift was achieved with continued investments in Superbrands. Operating profit amounted to SEK 255m (238).

Items affecting comparability

Operating profit for the quarter includes items affecting comparability of SEK -4m (0), related to costs for the change of the operating structure.

Net interest expenses related to external borrowings, cash pool and realised results on single currency interest rate swaps were in total SEK -16m (-12), exchange differences on cash and cash equivalents were SEK 5m (-26) which mainly related to the development of the Norwegian and Swedish krona against the euro during the quarter.

Profit for the period

Profit for the quarter was SEK 189m (130), which equates to basic and diluted earnings per share of SEK 0.66 (0.45). Income tax for the period was SEK -42m (-36).

The effective tax rate for the quarter was 18.2 per cent (21.7) and was positively impacted by differences between expected and actual tax filings related to the previous year.

The cash flow from changes in working capital was positively impacted by a decrease in inventories for an amount of SEK 163m (132) and an increase in payables of SEK 143m (43), partially offset by an increase in receivables of SEK -165m (-155).

Cash flow from other investing activities

Operating profit

Operating profit, adjusted for items affecting comparability, amounted to SEK 724m (652), and was positively impacted by the higher gross profit and cost control, partially offset by increased investments in Superbrands coupled with general cost inflation. Operating profit amounted to SEK 793m (555).

Items affecting comparability

Net interest expenses related to external borrowings, cash pool and realised results on single currency interest rate swaps were in total SEK -44m (-51), exchange differences on cash and cash equivalents were SEK 13m (-39) which mainly related to the development of the Swedish krona against the euro during the first nine months of the year.

Performance by business segment

Cloetta's operating segments are Branded packaged products and Pick & mix.

The chief operating decision-maker (CODM), which is the CEO and President of the Group, primarily uses external net sales and operating profit, adjusted for items affecting comparability, to assess the performance of its operating segments. Items affecting comparability, net financial items and income tax are not allocated to segments, as these are managed centrally.

No segment information is provided to or assessed by the CODM on assets and liabilities and therefore these are not separately disclosed.

Information related to each reportable segment (business segment) is set out below.

Business segments

The Cloetta Group comprises two segments: Branded packaged products and Pick & mix. The Pick & mix net sales and adjusted operating profit relate to Cloetta's complete offering in Pick & mix including products, displays and accompanying store and logistic services. All other activities within the Cloetta Group are reflected in the Branded packaged products segment.

In the fourth quarter sales are usually higher than in the first three quarters of the year, which is mainly attributable to the sale of products in Sweden in connection with the holiday season.

Strategic priorities

On 27 March 2025, Cloetta announced updated strategic priorities and financial targets geared for profitable growth.

1 Win with our Superbrands

Increased focus across the core markets on ten selected brands to drive profitable growth through increased distribution and by continuing to stretch the brands into new categories.

Increased focus on Germany and UK, as the European markets with the largest confectionery retail sales and the highest per capita consumption, and on North America to leverage demand for Swedish Candy

3 Excel in marketing and innovation

Accelerated new product development supported by continued marketing effectiveness.

To successfully deliver on these strategic priorities, focus will be placed on further enhancing Cloetta's operating model through net revenue management, a supply chain fit for purpose and an effective operating structure, as well as selective M&A.

Cloetta's sustainability agenda, A Sweeter Future, focuses on creating joy and long-lasting value For You, For People and For the Planet. The initiatives within the sustainability agenda cover topics all across the value chain where Cloetta has the ability to make an impact.

Auditor's report

Unofficial translation Cloetta AB (publ) corp. reg. no. 556308-8144

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Cloetta AB (publ) 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.

Taxes

The effective tax rate for the period was positively impacted by differences between expected and actual tax filings related to the previous year. The effective tax rate was negatively impacted by not recognising an additional deferred tax position for the negative taxable result in the UK, international tax rate differences and nondeductible expenses.

Fair value measurement

In the second quarter of 2024 a financial instrument categorised at level 3 of the fair value hierarchy was recognised for an amount of SEK 8m for to the contingent earn-out consideration related to the divestment of the Nutisal brand. In the fourth quarter of 2024, this contingent earn-out consideration was revalued to zero.

The only items recognised at fair value after initial recognition are:

  • the interest rate swaps categorised within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy in all periods presented;
  • the deferred selling price related to the divestment of the Nutisal brand that is categorised within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as well as;
  • the contingent earn-out consideration related to the divestment of the Nutisal brand that is categorised within level 3.

The fair values of financial assets (loans and receivables) and liabilities measured at amortised cost are approximately equal to carrying amounts.

For measurement purposes, the fair value of financial assets and liabilities is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments. The fair value measurements by level according to the fair value measurement hierarchy are as follows:

  • Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1).
  • Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2).
  • Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).

The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of the Group's financial assets and liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy:

No transfers between fair value hierarchy levels have occurred during the financial year or the prior financial year. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-thecounter derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to determine the fair value of an instrument are observable, the instrument is included within level 2.

The valuation of the instruments is based on quoted market prices, but the underlying swap amounts are based on the specific requirements of the Group. These instruments are therefore included within level 2. The fair value measurement of the contingent earn-out consideration requires the use of significant unobservable inputs and is thereby initially categorised at level 3. The valuation techniques and inputs used to value financial instruments are:

  • Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.
  • The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves.
  • The fair value of forward foreign currency contracts is calculated using the difference between the exchange rate on the spot date with the contractually agreed upon exchange rates.
  • Other techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis, are used to determine the fair value of the remaining financial instruments.

The contingent earn-out consideration is measured at fair value using a scenario model with an earn-out threshold, different results and related changes. These data are aligned with the earn-out contract. The interrelationship between significant unobservable inputs and fair value measurement are: The estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration related to the divestment of the Nutisal brand would increase (decrease) if the combined sales value of Cloetta and De Monchy Food Group of the Nutisal products during the period 1 July 2024 until 30 June 2025 was higher (lower).
