Stable market, high rate of acquisition activity and improved efficiency

Third quarter 2025

Market development has been stable in the third quarter. Our many subsidiary management teams are making fantastic efforts and are continuously adapting offerings, costs and investments to the prevailing market situation. EBITA, adjusted for the previously communicated move of contract renewals from the third to the second quarter with an EBITA impact of approximately SEK 70 million, increased to SEK 219 (200) million.

For the fifth consecutive quarter, the Process Management division delivered EBITA and an EBITA margin that exceeded the same period last year. The market climate for the division remained unchanged, with stable demand for case management and geographic information systems for the public sector.

While the Product Lifecycle Management division reported negative growth in the quarter, its EBITA margin improved as a result of implemented cost savings. The market climate remained stable in the UK, the Nordic region and the USA, while the market situation in Germany remained challenging. Sales to the defense industry experienced strong growth.

Adjusted for comparable accounting policies and early contract renewals, net sales in the Design Management division were in line with the same quarter last year. Demand from customers in the infrastructure, construction and manufacturing industries was stable. In the Nordic countries, demand from the manufacturing industry was somewhat weaker.

High acquisition activity

We have announced nine acquisitions so far in 2025, which are expected to contribute with a total annual net sales of approximately SEK 700 m and a strengthened EBITA margin.

During the third quarter, the acquisitions of FF Solutions (FFS), Genus and two customer base acquisitions to Symetri were completed. After the end of the quarter, we signed agreements to acquire Solidcad and X10D Solutions, with Solidcad expected to contribute to EBITA with SEK 120 m.

Solidcad is the largest Autodesk Platinum Partner in Canada, and FFS is the fastest growing Platinum Partner in Brazil. These acquisitions strengthen Symetri's global footprint, provide a platform for further growth in North America and Latin America, and will contribute to improved profitability. The combined net sales of Solidcad and FFS in 2025 are expected to amount to approximately SEK 370 m. With 300 new colleagues, Symetri now has 1,400 employees in Europe, North America and Latin America.

The Norwegian company Genus, whose net sales for 2024 amounted to SEK 165 m, offers a NoCode platform for case management and business applications. The company is now part of the Process Management division and has strengthened our position as a leading player in mission-critical case management systems in the Nordic region.

Dassault Systèmes' partner X10D Solutions, whose net sales in 2024 amounted to SEK 40 m, strengthens Technia's market position to the Nordic manufacturing and defense industry.

Investments in product development and AI

The opportunities and challenges presented by AI are an important topic. In September, Addnode Group brought together one hundred leaders – representing all of its companies and regions – to spend two days focused on AI. We shared our experiences related to business development and efficiency, discussed change management and learned about various AI initiatives across the Group.

We are continuously implementing AI support in our operations and customer solutions. Our partners Autodesk and Dassault Systèmes have also announced major investments in AI that will create value for our customers. One such customer solution is presented in this interim report: how Ida Infront supported the Swedish National Board for Consumer Disputes (ARN) in automating its document management using AI.

We will continue to invest in product development and in the opportunities that AI is creating for us and our customers.

New financial targets

We held our first Capital Markets Day, at which we presented new financial targets that confirm Addnode Group's existing strategy and set more ambitious aims in terms of growth and profitability. The new financial targets mean that Addnode Group's EBITA will double within five years and that we will improve our EBITA margin. To achieve our financial targets, we are now pursuing a plan consisting of an increased focus on business development, clearer prioritization of investments in our digital solutions, more measures to improve our internal efficiency, and increasing our capacity to make value-creating acquisitions.

Future outlook

Addnode Group's diversified operations, with strong positions in segments with structural underlying growth, provide a solid foundation for continued sustainable value creation. There is good demand and a need for the business and mission-critical digital solutions that we deliver to our customers in various industries, including construction and property, infrastructure, manufacturing, defense, life science and the public sector in Europe, North America and Latin America.

The market situation is considered stable for most of the Group's businesses, although some regions and industrial segments may take a few more quarters to recover. The economic and geopolitical situation remains uncertain, which is primarily affecting customers' decision-making processes regarding major investments.

Significant events

Changed payment terms for three-year Autodesk agreements

Cash flow from operating activities was impacted by changes in payment terms for Autodesk's three-year agreements. Since 2023, these agreements are paid annually over the term of the agreement, rather than in advance for the full three-year period as they were previously. The impact on cash flow is expected to normalize in the second half of 2026.

New transaction model in the Design Management division

Autodesk's transition to a new transaction model was announced in the fourth quarter of 2023. The new transaction model was introduced in the USA on June 10, 2024 and in Europe on September 16, 2024. Given that the new transaction model was thus fully implemented in the fourth quarter of 2024, comparability between 2025 and 2024 will be more difficult during the first three quarters of 2025.

Under the new transaction model, Autodesk will transition from a reseller model to an agent model. Addnode Group's company Symetri will continue to work with customers to identify and implement the best solution. Autodesk invoices customers directly for its own software and pays Symetri commission for the work that Symetri performs.

With the new transaction model, both net sales and purchases of goods and services will decrease, while gross profit and EBITA are expected to remain unchanged. This means that the EBITA margin will increase. Cash flow is not expected to change due to the new transaction model.

In the third quarter of 2025

Early contract renewals

As previously communicated, a number of three-year Autodesk agreements that would normally have been renewed in the third quarter were renewed early in the second quarter. These early contract renewals increased EBITA in the second quarter by approximately SEK 70 m but reduced EBITA by a corresponding amount in the third quarter. The net impact over the year was neutral.

New financial targets

New financial targets were presented in conjunction with Addnode Group's Capital Markets Day on September 22:

  • Average annual EBITA growth shall amount to at least 15 percent, which corresponds to a doubling of EBITA over five years.
  • The EBITA margin shall amount to at least 17 percent.
  • Net debt shall not exceed 2.5x EBITDA.
  • Unchanged dividend policy. 30–50 percent of the Group's profit after tax shall be distributed to the shareholders, providing its net cash position is sufficient to operate and develop its business.

Acquisition of Genus completed, 2,024,442 class B shares issued

The acquisition of Genus was completed on July 1. Genus offers a NoCode platform for case management systems and business applications. The company's net sales for 2024 amounted to SEK 165 m, and its EBITA margin was higher than that of Addnode Group's Process Management division. The purchase consideration was paid in cash and through newly issued class B shares in Addnode Group. The number of shares increased from a total of 134,528,232 to 136,552,674, corresponding to a dilution of 1.48 percent of the share capital and 1.18 percent of the votes after the share issue.

Acquisition of operations from TPM in the USA

Part of TPM Inc in the USA was acquired in July. The acquisition pertained to part of TPM's operations consisting of offerings based on software from Autodesk and Bluebeam. The operations are now part of Symetri and are expected to generate approximately SEK 28 m in sales in 2025.

Acquisition of operations from Repro Products in the USA

Part of Repro Products Inc in the USA was acquired in July. The acquisition pertained to part of Repro Products' operations consisting of offerings based on Autodesk software. The operations are now part of Symetri and are expected to generate approximately SEK 24 m in sales in 2025.

Acquisition of FF Solutions in Brazil

FF Solutions (FFS) was acquired in August. One of Brazil's largest Autodesk partners, FFS's offering spans technology, consulting and education solutions for the country's rapidly growing building, infrastructure and manufacturing sectors. FFS's net sales for 2025 are expected to amount to SEK 90 m.

After the end of the reporting period

Acquisition of Solidcad in Canada

In October, it was announced that Symetri had signed an agreement to acquire Solidcad's business and assets. Solidcad is the market leader in digital solutions for Canada's design, construction and manufacturing industries. An Autodesk Platinum Partner, Solidcad's net sales for 2025 are expected to amount to SEK 280 m with EBITA of SEK 120 m. Closing is expected to take place in late October 2025.

Acquisition of X10D Solutions in Sweden

In October, it was announced that Technia had signed an agreement to acquire X10D Solutions. As a partner to Dassault Systèmes, X10D Solutions offers a broad range of software products that enhance product development processes, complemented by own developed software extensions. X10D Solutions' net sales amounted to SEK 40 m in 2024. Closing is expected to take place in November 2025.

Credit facilities extended on more favorable terms

In October, Addnode Group refinanced its existing credit structure. The term loan was increased to SEK 1,700 m from SEK 1,000 m, and the revolving credit facility was increased to SEK 2,000 m from SEK 1,600 m. The refinancing was conducted on more favorable interest terms. Both loans have three-year terms, with 1+1 year extension options. AB Svensk Exportkredit (The Swedish Export Credit Corporation, SEK) has joined the existing bank group, which previously consisted of Nordea and SEB.

Digitalization for a Better Society

More efficient and secure case management system with AI

Ida Infront, part of the Process Management division, is supporting the Swedish National Board for Consumer Disputes (ARN) in automating its document management using AI. ARN is a government agency tasked with impartially trying disputes between consumers and business operators. In the past, ARN staff spent much of their days manually classifying documents – a time-consuming task that required considerable resources.

To reduce this manual work, increase efficiency and reduce costs, Ida Infront implemented a solution in which incoming documents in the iipax case management system are automatically classified using an AI model trained on ARN's own data. The model uses machine learning to accurately distinguish between different types of documents, such as applications, receipts and correspondence. The solution is also integrated with an automated archiving feature that further enhances operational efficiency.

The end result was a fully automated process for managing and organizing large volumes of documents that is fast, reliable and secure. Initial evaluations showed that the AI-based classification solution was nearly 100 percent accurate, far exceeding the target of 75 percent. The solution illustrates how AI can be harnessed to enable more intelligent digitalization and create more efficient public services, benefitting both citizens and society.

More efficient renewable energy through automation

Technia, part of the Product Lifecycle Management division, has used smart automation to improve the efficiency of Wind Farm Zeewolde, the biggest wind farm in the Netherlands and the world's largest local renewable energy initiative. Started and financed by 200 local residents and landowners, the 83-turbine Zeewolde wind power project faced challenges due to its extensive size and decentralized organizational structure.

Managing separate contracts and coordinating a numerous turbines required careful document management, automated processes and real-time collaboration. Other challenges included disjointed workflows, urgent technical needs during construction, inefficient software solutions, and traceability requirements throughout the project lifecycle.

Technia implemented Alfamail VISI. Automation accelerated the project timeline, ensured regulatory compliance through integrated contract and operational structures, and created a scalable model for future energy projects. Today, the wind farm supplies energy to more than 300,000 households, reducing their dependence on fossil fuels. The partnership shows how technology, local collaboration and automation can drive large-scale renewable energy initiatives, integrating sustainability into every step of the process.

Interaxo from Tribia contributes to record BREEAM certification

Tribia, part of the Design Management division, was a key partner to Consto and Siva in the construction of an innovation center in Tromsø. The building has been awarded BREEAM-NOR Outstanding certification – BREEAM's highest certification for buildings with an exceptional sustainability performance. With a record-breaking score of over 99 percent, the building is not only the first in Norway but also the northernmost in the world to achieve this level.

The certification required careful planning, systematic documentation and effective collaboration. Tribia's digital solution, Interaxo BREEAM, was chosen to compile all project information, adapt workflows and ensure traceability throughout the process, from design to completion. The platform made it possible to structure the documentation according to BREEAM's strict requirements, with separate folders, version management and revision tracking, thereby attaining complete transparency and continuity. The project team was also able to instantly generate reports and KPIs, ensuring transparency and efficiency in a complex project.

The building's environmental performance is groundbreaking: GHG emissions have been reduced by 45 percent and water consumption by 65 percent, the waste sorting rate is 98 percent, and energy consumption is only 78 kWh/m² per year. The project shows how digital solutions from Tribia make it possible to create buildings that achieve leading global sustainability standards, even in Arctic conditions.

Consolidated net sales, earnings and cash flow

Third quarter, July–September 2025

Net sales for the third quarter of 2025 decreased by 29 percent to SEK 1,311 m (1,859), which was expected given the transition to the new transaction model and changed classification of third-party agreements. Net sales were unchanged compared with the pro forma figure1).

Reported organic growth amounted to -35 percent, and reported currency-adjusted organic growth was -33 percent. Currency effects, mainly a weaker USD, had an impact of approximately SEK -50 m (-34) on net sales.

Currency-adjusted organic growth in the Design Management division was -54 percent. Sales declined by 10 percent compared with the pro forma figure1). The acquisitions contributed to earnings according to plan. As previously communicated, EBITA was impacted in an amount of SEK 70 m due to contract renewals brought forward from the third to the second quarter of 2025.

In the Product Lifecycle Management division, sales of PLM systems and related services were stable in the UK, the Nordic countries and the USA, while demand in Germany remained weak. Adjusted for currency effects, organic growth was -4 percent. The cost adjustments communicated in the first quarter are being implemented according to plan.

In the Process Management division, demand from the public sector remained stable. Earnings for the quarter increased due to improved operational efficiency and contributions from acquisitions. Currency-adjusted organic growth was 3 percent.

License revenue increased to SEK 32 m (31) and recurring revenue declined to SEK 822 m (1,381), mainly due to the change in business model and reclassifications of third-party agreements. Service revenue increased to SEK 443 m (421) and other revenue amounted to SEK 14 m (26). The recurring revenue share was 63 percent (74), a decrease primarily attributable to the change in business model and reclassifications of third-party agreements.

Gross profit increased by 1 percent to SEK 978 m (971), and the gross margin increased to 74.6 percent (52.2).

EBITA decreased by 26 percent to SEK 149 m (200), and the EBITA margin increased to 11.4 percent (10.8). As described above, the fact that contract renewals were brought forward from the third to the second quarter had a negative impact of approximately SEK -70 m on EBITA. Currency effects, mainly a weaker USD, had an impact of SEK -4 m (-3 ) on EBITA.

Net financial items amounted to SEK -1 m (-11) and were impacted by the discount effect on contingent considerations, higher loan volumes, currency effects, and lower interest rates. Revaluations of contingent considerations had an impact of SEK 35 m (18) on net financial items.

Net profit for the period decreased by -44 percent to SEK 54 m (97). Earnings per share decreased to SEK 0.40 (0.73).

Cash flow from operating activities improved to SEK -64 m (-133), but continued to be affected by changes in working capital related to the adjustment of payment terms for Autodesk's three-year agreements. Since 2023, these agreements are invoiced and paid annually over the term of the agreement, rather than paying for the full three-year period as they were previously. The impact on cash flow is gradually decreasing and is expected to normalize in the second half of 2026.

First nine months, January–September 2025

Net sales amounted to SEK 4,229 m (6,273), down 33 percent, of which -35 percent was organic. Currency-adjusted organic growth amounted to -33 percent. Currency effects, mainly a weaker USD, had an impact of approximately SEK -108 m (-4) on net sales.

License revenue decreased to SEK 90 m (145), recurring revenue declined to SEK 2,688 m (4,657), service revenue decreased to SEK 1,396 m (1,398), and revenue from other amounted to SEK 55 m (73). EBITA decreased to SEK 605 m (615), and the EBITA margin increased to 14.3 percent (9.8). Currency effects had an impact of SEK -15 m ( -1 ) on EBITA, mainly due to a weaker USD.

EBITA included restructuring costs of SEK 24 m (-) pertaining to the Product Lifecycle Management division.

Net financial items amounted to SEK -56 m (-66) and were impacted by revaluations of contingent considerations of SEK 35 m (18), higher loan volumes, currency effects, and lower interest rates. The reported tax on profit for the period was SEK -90 m (-83). Net profit for the period decreased to SEK 247 m (271). Earnings per share declined to SEK 1.85 (2.03).

Cash flow from operating activities decreased to SEK 105 m (426), mainly as a result of changed payment terms in connection with the transition to three-year agreements Autodesk, as described in more detail in the previous section.

Design Management division

Design Management is a leading global provider of digital solutions and services for design, BIM and product data for architects and engineers in the construction and manufacturing industries. The division also has a strong digital offering for project collaboration and facility management in the Nordic countries and the UK.

Progress in the quarter

Net sales decreased by 52 percent to SEK 528 m (1,111). Adjusted for currency effects, reported organic growth was -54 percent. Sales declined by 10 percent compared with the proforma figure1). See the proforma table and graph below and the proforma table on page 29 in this interim report

The division's operation within digital solutions for design, BIM and product data, which are conducted by Symetri, noted stable demand in Brazil the USA and the UK from customers in the infrastructure construction and manufacturing industries. In the Nordic countries, demand from the manufacturing industry was somewhat weaker. Net sales were negatively impacted by the fact that contract renewals were brought forward from the third to the second quarter of 2025 as previously communicated

Service Works Global, which delivers digital solutions facility management, and Tribia, which provides collaboration platforms to the construction and infrastructure sector, had a stable earnings trend compared with the year-earlier period.

EBITA decreased by -57 percent to SEK 51 m (118), and the EBITA margin was 9.7 percent (10.6). EBITA was negatively affected in an amount of approximately SFK -70 m due to early contract renewals and would otherwise have amounted to about SEK 121 m. Overall, the impact on earnings for the year was neutral, as the customers in question renewed these contracts in the second quarter of 2025 at the corresponding amount. The division's acquisitions, of which FF Solutions was the largest, have been successfully integrated into the division's operations and contributed to earnings according to plan.

Acquisitions

The US company TPM's operations for sales of Autodesk and Bluebeam software were acquired in July. The bolt-on acquisition TPM is now part of Symetri and is expected to generate approximately SEK 28 m in sales in 2025

The US company Repro Products' operations for sales of Autodesk software were also acquired in July. This bolt-on acquisition is also part of Symetri and is expected to generate approximately SEK 24 m in sales in 2025.

FF Solutions, one of Brazil's largest Autodesk partners, was acquired in August. The company's net sales for 2025 are expected to amount to SEK 90 m. The operations have approximately 110 employees in five offices in Brazil

After the end of the reporting period

In October, it was announced that Symetri had signed an agreement to acquire Solidcad's business and assets. Solidcad is the market leader in digital solutions for Canada's design, construction and manufacturing industries, an Autodesk Platinum Partner and a Bluebeam Sapphire Partner. The operations have approximately 150 employees and are expected to generate revenue of about SEK 280 m, with EBITA of SEK 120 m in 2025. Closing is expected to take place in late October 2025.

1) Proforma figure (net sales adjusted for comparison) has been adjusted to reflect the transition to Autodesk's new transaction model since this impacts the comparison with the corresponding period last year. The model was introduced in the USA on June 10, 2024 and in Europe on September 16, 2024. Unlike last year when the reseller model was applied, net sales for Autodesk and other third-party agreements are now recognized under the agent model. Under the agent model, revenue is recognized at an amount corresponding to the previous gross profit under the reseller model, which affects comparability between periods

Product Lifecycle Management division

Product Lifecycle Management is a global provider of solutions for digitalizing a product's or facility's complete lifecycle - from idea, design, simulation and construction to sale, aftermarket and recycling. For our customers, this means shorter lead-times, more innovation, increased efficiency, and traceability.

Progress in the quarter

Net sales decreased by 7 percent to SEK 435 m (469) in the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted for currency effects, reported organic growth was -4 percent. Sales declined by 4 percent compared with the proforma figure1. See the pro forma table and graph below and the pro forma table on page 29 of this interim report.

Sales of PLM systems and related services showed a stable trend in the UK, the Nordics and the USA, where we have a broad customer base spanning the manufacturing, defense and life sciences industries. Sales to the strategically important aviation and defense segment remained strong during the quarter.

The market situation in Germany remains challenging. Facing uncertainty related to geopolitical trade barriers, the macroeconomic climate and current interest rates, certain customers opted to postpone decisions regarding major system investments and projects.

EBITA increased to SEK 42 m (39), and the EBITA margin increased to 9.7 percent (8.3). The measures implemented to adapt the organization and cost structure, which were communicated in the first quarter, have proceeded as planned and had a positive impact on earnings in the third quarter. EBITA increased by 8 percent year-on-year. The restructuring costs of approximately SEK 24 m that were charged to earnings in the first quarter are expected to generate annual cost savings of about SFK 45 m

The trend towards customers increasingly choosing fixed-term leasing models rather than licenses with perpetual right of use remains firm and is continuing to strengthen.

Acquisitions

No acquisitions were carried out during the period.

After the end of the reporting period

In October, an agreement was signed to acquire X10D Solutions. As a partner to Dassault Systèmes, X10D Solutions offers a broad range of software products that enhance product development processes, complemented by own developed software extensions. X10D Solutions' net sales in 2024 amounted to SEK 40 m, and the company has approximately 15 employees. The transaction is subject to completion conditions. Closing is expected to take place in November 2025.

On May 28, 2025, Addnode Group signed an agreement to acquire all of the shares in Genus AS (Genus), a Norwegian company that offers a NoCode platform for case management systems and business applications aimed at banks, insurance companies, and the public sector. Genus had net sales of SEK 165 m in 2024, and its EBITA margin was higher than that of Addnode Group's Process Management division. The company has 87 employees and is headquartered in Oslo.

The acquisition was completed on July 1, 2025. The purchase consideration amounted to a maximum of NOK 555 m, of which NOK 414 m comprised a fixed amount (enterprise value), adjusted for net debt and working capital. The remaining amount of up to NOK 140 m comprises a contingent consideration based on Genus' future financial performance. Of the fixed amount, NOK 205 m corresponds to a reinvestment from the sellers in the form of an offset new share issue of 2,024,442 class B shares in Addnode Group, equivalent to a dilution of 1.48 percent of the share capital and 1.18 percent of the votes in Addnode Group. The transaction costs are expected to amount to approximately SEK 3 m. The acquisition was financed through Addnode Group's existing credit facilities and the aforementioned new share issue, and is expected to have a positive impact on earnings per share as of the closing date. Genus will become part of Addnode Group's Process Management division and be consolidated from July.

In July 2025, Symetri acquired parts of the operations of TPM Inc, based in Greenville, South Carolina in the USA. The asset acquisition included an offering based on Autodesk and Bluebeam software, with customers mainly in the AEC sector and manufacturing industry. TPM has six employees and is expected to generate approximately SEK 28 m in sales in 2025. The acquisition has strengthened Symetri's market position in the southeastern USA and added some 1,200 customers to Symetri's global customer base, which thus comprises approximately 21,000 customers. The bolt-on acquisition was consolidated into the Design Management division from July. For accounting purposes, the acquisition is considered an asset acquisition and not an acquisition of a business.

Parts of the assets of Repro Products Inc in the USA were acquired in July. The bolt-on acquisition pertained to part of Repro Products' operations based on Autodesk software. The operations have eight employees and are expected to generate revenue of approximately SEK 24 m in 2025. The acquisition has strengthened

Symetri's market position in the USA and added some 900 customers to Symetri's global customer base, which comprised approximately 22,000 customers following the acquisition. The operations were consolidated into the Design Management division from July. For accounting purposes, the acquisition is considered an asset acquisition and not an acquisition of a business.

On August 1, 2025, Symetri acquired all of the shares in FF Solutions, one of Brazil's largest Autodesk partners. FF Solutions provides technology, consulting and education solutions for the country's rapidly growing building, infrastructure and manufacturing sectors. Founded in 1995, the company is headquartered in São Paulo and has operations in five locations in Brazil. The company has 110 employees and is an Autodesk Platinum Partner. Its net sales for 2025 are expected to amount to about SEK 90 m. The acquisition was financed through Addnode Group's existing credit facilities. The operations were consolidated in the Design Management division from August and are expected to have a positive impact on earnings per share as of the closing date. Through the acquisition, Symetri has established a presence in the Latin American market, a strategic step in the company's international expansion following its establishment in North America through the acquisitions of Microdesk (2022) and Team D3 (2023). The acquisition strengthens Symetri's position as a global Autodesk partner and creates a platform for launching Symetri's own productivity and sustainability solutions – such as Naviate, Sovelia and CQ – in a new and growing market.

Acquisitions after the end of the period

After the end of the reporting period, Symetri signed an agreement to acquire the Canadian company Solidcad. The company is the market leader in digital solutions for Canada's design, construction and manufacturing industries and an Autodesk Platinum Partner.

The acquisition is being conducted as an asset acquisition, with Symetri acquiring Solidcad's operations and assets. The purchase consideration on the closing date will amount to SEK 850 m, with an adjustment for working capital items assumed upon closing. In addition, a maximum contingent consideration of SEK 204 m may be paid, depending on future earnings. The acquisition is being financed through an increase in Addnode Group's existing credit facilities.

Closing is expected to take place in late October 2025, after which Solidcad will be consolidated as part of Symetri in Addnode Group's Design Management division. The acquisition is expected to have a positive impact on the Group's earnings per share as of the consolidation date.

Solidcad was founded in 1996 and is headquartered in Richmond Hill, Ontario.

Solidcad's net sales for 2025 are expected to amount to approximately SEK 280 m and EBITA to approximately SEK 120 m. The acquisition represents a geographic expansion of Symetri's North American operations through the establishment of a presence in Canada, complementing its existing presence in the USA and Brazil. The combination of Symetri's existing digital solutions, including its proprietary products Naviate, Sovelia and CQ, and Solidcad's strong market position is expected to create the conditions for continued profitable growth in a stable and innovation-driven market.

On October 10, Technia signed an agreement to acquire all of the shares in X10D Solutions AB.

Consolidated balance sheet and cash flow

Liquidity and financial position

Cash and cash equivalents held by the Group amounted to SEK 339 m (441) as of September 30, 2025.

In June 2023, Addnode Group agreed to increase its existing credit line with a term loan of SEK 1,000 m with Nordea and SEB. This loan was utilized to refinance existing loans in different currencies and for general corporate purposes. The term loan has a three-year term, with a 1+1 year extension option. Most of the loans drawn from the revolving credit facility were transferred to this loan, which created available scope in the revolving credit facility.

In June 2024, Addnode Group exercised its option to extend the term loan by one year to June 2027, with other terms and conditions unchanged.

The revolving credit facility matures in June 2026 and is thus classified as a current liability as of June 30, 2025.

After the end of the period, Addnode Group refinanced its existing credit structure. The term loan was increased to SEK 1,700 m from SEK 1,000 m, and the revolving credit facility was increased to SEK 2,000 m from SEK 1,600 m. The refinancing was conducted on more favorable interest terms. Both loans have three-year terms, with 1+1 year extension options. The Swedish Export Credit Corporation (SEK) has joined the existing bank group, which previously consisted of Nordea and SEB.

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 105 m (426) for the January–September 2025 period, equivalent to a year-on-year decrease of SEK -321 m. The change was primarily related to the Design Management division and affected by changes in payment terms for Autodesk's three-year agreements. The change, which began in 2023, means that three-year agreements are now being paid annually over the contract period, instead of being paid in advance. Cash flow from investing activities includes payments for own software of SEK 134 m (120). Investments in subsidiaries and operations generated a negative cash flow of SEK -562 m (-213). Financing activities were negatively affected by a SEK 116 m (144) repayment of loans, a SEK 76 m (76) repayment of a lease liability and a SEK 154 m (133) payment of share dividends. The January–September 2025 period also included borrowings of SEK 763 m (46) for acquisitions.

Investments and divestments

Investments of SEK 318 m (182) were made in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, including leases, of which SEK 134 m (120) related to ow software. The increase in 2025 was primarily attributable to investments involved in the asset acquisitions of TPA and Repro Products.

Goodwill and other intangible assets

The carrying amount of the Group's goodwill was SEK 3,729 m (3,110) on September 30, 2025. Other intangible assets amounted to SEK 1,243 m (997), and mainly comprised customer relationships, trademarks and software.

Deferred tax assets

As of September 30, 2025, deferred tax assets amounted to SEK 39 m (34). The increase was mainly due to changes in temporary differences.

Equity

Equity as of September 30, 2025 was SEK 2,639 m (2,276), equivalent to SEK 19.47 (17.07) per share outstanding.

Share capital and incentive programs

Share capital was SEK 410 m at the end of the period. The quotient value per share was SEK 3.00. The division by share class as of September 30, 2025 was as follows:

Share class No. of shares outstanding
Class A shares 3,948,696
Class B shares 132,603,978
Class B treasury shares -997,262
Total 135,555,412

The Annual General Meeting on May 7, 2025 resolved on a long-term performance-based share rights program, see below under "Longterm incentive program". The Annual General Meeting also resolved, in connection with the first exercise period of the LTIP 2022 incentive program, to offer an opportunity to repurchase call options outstanding at a price corresponding to the net value of the call options. The consideration for repurchased options is to be paid using class B treasury shares. The repurchase offer comprises a maximum of 56,950 call options and, if fully accepted, could result in the transfer of up to 100,000 class B shares.

Accounting policies

General

This Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as endorsed by the EU, and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. In this document, the term "IFRS" includes the application of IASs and IFRSs as well as interpretations of these recommendations published by the IASB Standards Interpretation Committee (SIC) and the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). The Parent Company's accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act, and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. Amendments and interpretations of existing standards first effective in 2025 had no impact on the Group's financial position or financial statements. The accounting policies and calculation methods are unchanged since the Annual Report for 2024.

Disclosures on financial instruments

Estimated contingent considerations for acquisitions were measured at fair value. Measurement of financial assets and liabilities shows no significant difference between carrying amounts and fair value. The Group had no forward exchange contracts outstanding on September 30, 2025.

Long-term incentive program

The 2025 Annual General Meeting resolved to adopt a long-term performance share-based incentive program ("LTIP 2025") for managers of Addnode Group. The participants are allotted performance-based share rights that may entitle the holder to class B shares. After the vesting period, the participants will be allotted class B shares in Addnode Group free of charge, provided that the performance condition is met and the employee remains employed at the Group. The performance target that must be achieved or exceeded relates to average annual growth of the company's earnings per share during the 2025–2027 financial years (the "measurement period"). The minimum level for allotment is average annual growth of the company's earnings per share during the measurement period of 2 percent, and the maximum level for allotment is average annual growth during the Measurement Period of 12 percent. The allotment of class B shares also requires that the total return on the company's class B share has been positive during the term of the program. The maximum number of class B shares in Addnode Group that can be allotted under LTIP 2025 is to be limited to 138,000, corresponding to approximately 0.1 percent of all shares outstanding in Addnode Group. Any allotment of class B shares in Addnode Group with the support of share rights is normally to take place within ten working days after the publication of Addnode Group's Interim Report for the January 1–March 31, 2028 period. The vesting period commences at the start of the participant agreement and expires in conjunction with the publication of the Interim Report for the January 1–March 31, 2028 period.

Significant risks and uncertainties

The Group's operations are diversified over offerings, customer segments and geography, which implies risk diversification. This is a proven strength in challenging times.

Future outlook

The Board of Directors has not altered its assessment of Addnode Group's long-term outlook since the previous quarters. In the Second-quarter Interim Report for 2025, the Board of Directors stated the following outlook:

In the long-term, Addnode Group regards the segments where it is active to have strong underlying potential. Addnode Group's growth strategy is to grow organically and by acquiring new businesses in the aim of adding new, complementary offerings and additional expertise.

Addnode Group manages geopolitical risks arising in connection with war, social unrest and trade policy action in and by countries in our business environment through continuous business intelligence and robust risk management strategies to minimize the impact on our business and ensure long-term stability.

The Board notes that, given the geopolitical situation, there is a risk that Addnode Group may be financially impacted in 2025.Addnode Group is retaining its decision not to issue a forecast.

Certification

Auditor's review report

Addnode Group AB (publ), corporate identity number 556291-3185

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Addnode Group AB (publ) as of September 30, 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 report 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 Financial Statements 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 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 in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Parent Company.

Stockholm, Sweden, on the date stated in our digital signature

1) The transition to Autodesk's new transaction model affects the comparison with the corresponding period last year.

Addnode Group operates through three divisions: Design Management, Product Lifecycle Management and Process Management. The Group's decentralized governance model means mission-critical decisions are taken close to the customer and market. Companies develop their businesses in accordance with strategies, guidelines and Group-wide values. The divisions are the operating segments that Addnode Group uses to monitor the performance and development of its business. There has been no change to the operating segments since the most recent Annual Report.

The difference between the total of the segments' operating profit and consolidated profit before tax consists of financial income of SEK 50 m (59), financial expenses of SEK -141 m (-142), and revaluation of contingent considerations of SEK 35 m (17).

Acquisitions completed in the January–September 2025 period meant that net operating assets in segments increased to only a limited extent compared with the disclosures in the Annual Report for 2024. Net operating assets are defined as the total of goodwill and other intangible non-current assets, property, plant and equipment, financial assets, trade receivables and other operating assets, less trade payables and other operating liabilities.

Alternative performance measures, use and reconciliation

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has issued guidelines for disclosures on Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) for companies with securities listed on a regulated market in the EU, which apply to Alternative Performance Measures in published mandatory information. Alternative Performance Measures are financial metrics on historical or future performance of earnings, financial position, financial results or cash flows that are not defined or stated in the applicable rules for financial reporting. Certain performance metrics are used in this Interim Report that are not defined in IFRS, with the intention of offering investors, financial analysts and other stakeholders clear and relevant information on the company's operations and performance. The use of these performance metrics and reconciliation with the financial statements are presented below.

Definitions on page 31.

EBITA

EBITA is a metric the Group considers relevant to investors, financial analysts and other stakeholders to understand earnings generation before investments in intangible non-current assets. This measure is an expression of operating profit before the amortization and impairment of intangible non-current assets.

Net debt

The Group considers this key figure useful to the readers of financial statements as a complement in evaluating dividend potential, making strategic investments and assessing the Group's potential to satisfy financial obligations. This key figure is an expression of the level of financial borrowing in absolute terms after deducting cash and cash equivalents.

Adjustment of comparative figures for new transaction model (pro forma)

In 2024, a significant portion of partner software sales – primarily in the Design Management division – started to be reported under an agent model. As a result of this change, comparisons with previous periods have become less accurate since both net sales and purchases of goods and services have decreased, while gross profit and EBITA have essentially remained unchanged.

An adjustment of comparative figures for the new transaction model for comparative quarters in 2024 is presented below.
