Report of the Management Board

Gelsenkirchen, 5 November 2025 – The Masterflex Group continued its positive revenue trend in the first nine months of the 2025 financial year, and despite a challenging trading and geopolitical environment, once again achieved record figures for the nine-month results. Thanks to further productivity improvements, the operating EBIT margin also expanded again.

From January to September 2025, the Masterflex Group generated revenue of EUR 79.8 million, compared to EUR 76.9 million in the same period last year. Thus, the growth trend of previous quarters continued. Cumulative growth since the beginning of the year is 3.8%, with an increase of 4.4% in the third quarter. Significant growth momentum came in particular from the industrial groups of Life (i.a. medical technology), Mobility (i.a. aviation and automotive), and Infrastructure (air conditioning).

The impact of the ongoing tariff discussions remained manageable overall but led to a noticeable decline in revenue among customers in the food sector. Regionally, growth was driven in particular by the domestic market in Germany, the European subsidiaries, and the American sites, including Brazil.

Operating EBITDA for the first nine months of 2025 amounted to EUR 16.1 million, up 5.9% on the previous year's figure of EUR 15.2 million. Operating EBIT amounted to EUR 12.1 million, an increase of 7.7% compared with the EUR 11.2 million achieved in the first nine months of 2024. The operating EBIT margin improved accordingly from 14.5% in the same period of the previous year to 15.1%. Positive effects from efficiency gains in production and purchasing were

partially offset by higher personnel expenses due to inflation, volume growth, and the establishment of the new location in Morocco. Consolidated net income rose by 9.1% to EUR 7.7 million (9M/2024: EUR 7.1 million) and was influenced in opposite directions by a higher tax rate and an improvement in the financial result. This corresponds to consolidated earnings per share of EUR 0.81 (9M/2024: EUR 0.74).

Thanks to the encouraging earnings performance, Masterflex's balance sheet position has improved further. Cash and cash equivalents rose from EUR 11.6 million on December 31, 2024, to EUR 13.8 million on September 30, 2025. Net debt decreased to EUR 4.4 million compared to December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2024: EUR 9.0 million) due to scheduled repayments and positive operating cash flow development. Consolidated equity grew to EUR 68.0 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to EUR 63.6 million as of the 2024 balance sheet date. Despite the increase in total assets, the Group's equity ratio rose from 67.7% as of December 31, 2024, to 69.1% as of September 30, 2025.

Dr. Andreas Bastin, CEO of the Masterflex Group: "We made progress in all areas this year. Despite the challenging environment for the industry, we returned to revenue growth. As promised, we increased our profitability and achieved record results in the first nine months once again. Our regional expansion is proceeding according to plan, most recently with the new location in Morocco. At the same time, we are moving forward with concrete projects under our HERO@ZERO strategy to make the circular economy feasible in everyday industrial life. We have every

reason to look ahead with confidence and confirm our targets for 2025 and beyond."

Earnings

The Masterflex Group recorded revenue growth of 3.8% to EUR 79.8 million in the first nine months, compared with EUR 76.9 million in the same period of the previous year. This revenue trend reflects a mixed performance across the individual customer sectors. While revenue from customers in the semiconductor and food industries stagnated or declined due to tariffs, growth was driven primarily by business with customers in the industrial groups of Life, Mobility and Infrastructure. The order backlog as of September 30, 2025, was EUR 17.4 million, compared to EUR 19.8 million at the end of 2024 and EUR 20.1 million at the end of the second quarter of 2025.

Operating earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT before non-operating income and expenses) rose by 7.7% to EUR 12.1 million in the first nine months of 2025, compared with EUR 11.2 million in the same period of the previous year. This corresponds to an operating EBIT margin of 15.1% based on revenue (9M/2024: 14.5%).

The cost of materials ratio (measured in terms of total output) improved to 27.8% as of September 30, 2025 (9M/2024: 29.3%). The personnel cost ratio (measured in terms of total output) amounted to 35.0% after nine months in the 2025 financial year (9M/2024: 35.1%), influenced by a slight increase in personnel costs due to inflation and the expansion of the workforce at the Morocco site.

The increase in other expenses from EUR 12.7 million in the previous year to EUR 14.5 million after nine months in 2025 is mainly due to inflation and volume factors, for example in the form of higher freight and packaging costs and higher energy costs. Currency effects and costs associated with setting up the site in Morocco also impacted the increase.

Depreciation and amortization remained at the previous year's level at EUR 4.1 million (9M/2024: EUR 4.1 million).

Financing costs fell significantly by 22.9% to EUR 0.8 million (9M/2024: EUR 1.0 million). This was due to scheduled repayments of financial liabilities and improved loan terms resulting from the Group's financing restructuring in September 2024.

Consolidated net income rose to EUR 7.7 million in the first nine months of the current financial year (9M/2024: EUR 7.1 million). Consolidated earnings per share thus increased to EUR 0.81 in the reporting period (9M/2024: EUR 0.74).

Net Assets and Financial Position

The increase in total assets by EUR 4.5 million to EUR 98.4 million as of September 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: EUR 93.9 million) is mainly attributable to the EUR 4.6 million increase in trade receivables on the assets side, which was partly due to the reporting date, and to the increase in equity on the liabilities side due to the encouraging earnings development.

The Masterflex Group's cash and cash equivalents grew to EUR 13.8 million as of September 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: EUR 11.6 million). Earnings performance, higher trade payables, and lower capital expenditure had a positive impact, while the increase in receivables, the higher dividend, and the repayment of loans had a negative impact.

Due to the favorable earnings situation of the Masterflex Group, equity increased by EUR 4.4 million to EUR 68.0 million as of September 30, 2025. As of the 2024 balance sheet date on December 31, 2024, it amounted to EUR 63.6 million. This corresponds to an equity ratio of 69.1% as of September 30, 2025, compared to 67.7% as of December 31, 2024.

Net debt amounted to EUR 4.4 million as of September 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: EUR 9.0 million). The ratio of net debt to EBITDA ("gearing ratio") thus improved significantly to 0.23 (December 31, 2024: 0.5).

Short-term and long-term financial liabilities amounted to EUR 18.2 million as of September 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: EUR 20.5 million).

Cash flow development in the first nine months of 2025 was significantly influenced by the increase in trade receivables, the dividend payment, and currency effects.

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR 10.7 million as of September 30, 2025 (9M/2024: EUR 9.3 million). Cash flow from investing activities declined slightly year-on-year to around EUR 2.1 million (9M/2024: EUR 2.6 million). The payment of the increased dividend for the 2024 financial year in the amount of EUR 2.7 million (9M/2024: EUR 2.4 million) and a corresponding decrease in interest expenses of EUR 0.6 million (9M/2024: EUR 0.9 million) had a significant impact on the development of cash flow from financing activities.

Outlook

Based on the successful business development in the first nine months of 2025, the Management Board confirms its previous outlook for the 2025 financial year and continues to expect to generate revenues in the range of EUR 100 million to EUR 105 million. The Management Board anticipates EBIT in the range of EUR 12 million to EUR 15 million.
