Comment from the CEO

Increased service sales, profitability and cash flow

Our performance improved also in this quarter, proving our extensive change programs with focus on profitable growth to be effec<ve. We are successful with our focus on the service business and the margin-improving measures are beginning to have an effect. We con<nue to implement our change programs and see that we have the poten<al for con<nued improvement. Interna<onal regula<ons con<nue to drive the demand for our electrical solu<ons for the mari<me industries while we see that our more cyclically dependent customers are a bit cau<ous with their investments.

Revenue increased 8.5% in the quarter to EUR 42.9 million, mainly driven by strong demand for services and increased deliveries of shore power solutions for container vessels. The latter were already signed in 2022 and show the long lead times in our project business. Currency effects had an impact of -1.2% on total revenue in the quarter.

EBIT con\nued to improve, increasing to EUR 2.0 million from EUR 0.3 million in the in the same period last year. The EBIT margin strengthened to 4.5%. The improvement is a result of our strategic priori\es with associated change programs, which has been successful in the Ports & Mari\me segment. As part of the programs, we have for example focused on opera\onal efficiency and improved produc\on processes to raise profitability in the order backlog. This has resulted in a normaliza\on of the order backlog in Ports & Mari\me.

We s\ll have a lot to do in our change programs, among other things we are to enhance the efficiency in the Industry segment and our supply chain. At the same \me as we work with our improvements in costs and efficiency, we con\nue to increase ac\vi\es within service and product development. We see great poten\al in the service area, not least in our large and con\nuously growing installed base worldwide, and invest in product development to maintain our compe\veness and leading posi\on in electrifica\on solu\ons.

It is also very sa\sfying to see that the cash flow con\nues to improve and grew to EUR 0.05 million from EUR -2.9 million. The increase in cash flow is a result of internal programs, launched in 2023 aimed at improving working capital, strengthening the financial posi\on and lowering our financing costs. These efforts will con\nue in 2024 with the same intensity.

A cyber incident early in the second quarter is now closed and under control. The incident incurred some costs and delayed certain deliveries, and will have an impact on the second quarter opera\ng result of approximately EUR 1-2 million. Cavotec is covered by cyber insurance.

Significant progress in service

To increase transparency, we have started to report the order intake from this quarter. Order intake decreased -4.8% to EUR 39.9 million and order backlog decreased slightly from the end of 2023,-2.4% to EUR 120.6 million. We have announced a number of significant contracts during the quarter, both for services and product solu\ons. In February, we announced the order to supply shore power solu\ons to a major European shipping line worth USD 5.7 million. About a month ago, we announced another shore power contract from a global shipping company, worth about USD 5 million. The services

agreements that we have announced clearly demonstrates the poten\al in this area. We have signed a two-year service agreement with APM Terminals at Port of Tanger and a breakthrough agreement with a major port in North America to provide all services on the shore power systems we have installed. This deal is groundbreaking for us since will take care of the plug in and plug out the power units for the first \me. This provides us with valuable insights in how we can further improve our products while ensuring that the equipment is operated in the most efficient way. Yesterday, we announced a two-year service agreement with Port of Salalah in Oman where we will provide support for our 32 installed MoorMaster vacuum units. This is a good example of how we generate business based on our installed base.

Last year we took the strategic decision to establish an assembly facility in India to befer serve the important Indian market and explore an afrac\ve supplier base. I have just returned from a week in India visi\ng several clients in a booming market and I am now even more confident that this was the correct strategic move to make. The facility is now opera\onal, and the official inaugura\on will take place this summer. We are mee\ng a lot of interest in our offering and have signed the first orders with Indian based customers. However, we expect it will take some \me to ramp up larger volumes.

Change in Cavotec Management Team

Our efforts in improving profitability were most intensive in the Ports & Mari\me segment during 2023. This work con\nues to have the highest priority in 2024, with par\cular focus on the Industry segment. Since April of this year, I have been ac\ng as President of the Industry segment as we look for a permanent solu\on. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Simone Sguizzardi, former President of the Industry segment, for his efforts and contribu\ons to Cavotec, and wish him success in his next role outside the Group.

Electrifica\on is driving our business

Our business is driven by the megatrend of electrifica\on of society. Our largest segment – Ports & Mari\me – is also driven by extensive interna\onal regula\ons to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in marine environments and noise levels in ports. These strong driving forces, combined with our clear strategic priori\es, give us good condi\ons to con\nue to improve our performance and to be a key player in the transi\on to a more sustainable society.

These audited Financial Statements have been approved by the Board of Directors for publication on 15 May 2024.

Basis of preparation of Financial Statements

This quarterly report was prepared in accordance with IFRS, applying IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The same accounting and valuation policies were applied in the most recent annual report. The amendments to the standards that became applicable for the current reporting period did not have an impact on Cavotec accounts. The condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended in December 2023. The preparation of quarterly financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Segment information

Operating segments have been determined based on the Group Management structure in place and on the management information and used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to make strategic decisions.

The two operating segments are:

a) Ports & Maritime – development, manufacture and service of innovative automation and electrification technologies for the global ports and maritime sectors. b) Industry – development, manufacture and service of electrification and radio control products for industrial applications, such as cranes, energy, processing and transportation, mining, and tunnelling.

Noteworthy risks and uncertainties

Cavotec's significant risks and uncertainties are divided into three categories: market, credit, and liquidity risks. In these categories, there are both risks due to political and macroeconomic trends and specific risks directly linked to business carried out by the Group. Market risk includes currency and interest rate risk. Credit risk includes the risk of managing our customers and other receivables while liquidity risk includes the management of cash in a diverse, global group. Read more about the risks in the Annual Report 2023.

Forward looking statement

Some statements in this report are forward-looking, and the actual outcome could be materially different. In addition to the factors explicitly discussed, other factors could have a material effect on the actual outcome. Such factors include, but are not limited to, general business conditions, fluctuations in exchange rates and interest rates, political developments, the impact of competing products and their pricing, product development, commercialization and technological difficulties, interruptions in supply, and major customer credit losses.
