" We took steps during the quarter to improve efficiency and position ourselves for profitable growth. "
Linda Pålsson, President and CEO


1) Excluding items affecting comparability.
The second quarter was marked by a continued cautious market and a weak calendar. This was reflected in AFRY's results, with a decline in net sales and a calendar-adjusted EBITA margin in line with last year. While the global economy is recovering more slowly than expected, our order backlog increased during the quarter. Work on our ongoing strategic review progressed according to plan, and we took steps during the quarter to improve efficiency and position ourselves for future profitable growth.
The market remained subdued with pending investment decisions for large projects. This was most evident in some of our industrial segments as well as in the real estate sector. In the pulp and paper segment, there are signs of increased market activity in Latin America, but overall demand for capex projects remains at a low level. Meanwhile, initiatives to strengthen societal resilience are driving long-term demand across several areas, such as total defense, energy supply, and production capacity.
Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 6,674 million (7,191) with organic growth adjusted for calendar effects of -2.5 percent. The lower volumes reflected the challenging market we are facing in several segments. Currency effects also had a negative impact of SEK -205 million on net sales in the quarter.
EBITA excluding items affecting comparability amounted to SEK 438 million (572) with a corresponding EBITA margin of 6.6 percent. Items affecting comparability amounted to SEK -91 million (0) and consisted of restructuring costs related to the ongoing reorganization. Calendar effects had a negative impact of SEK -104 million on EBITA. Adjusted for the weak calendar, the EBITA margin was in line with the same quarter last year (6.6 percent).
Operating cash flow amounted to SEK 353 million (420) in the quarter.
Our order backlog amounted to SEK 20.7 billion (19.9) at the end of the period, which is an increase both sequentially and year-over-year. We won contracts during the quarter for the safe decommissioning and
radioactive waste management of Norway's nuclear research reactors and the modernization of the Zurich Western Bypass. These contracts underscore our strong global position in key segments where we continue to secure important projects.
In addition, we recently announced that we have signed an agreement to acquire Reta Engenharia, a Brazilian provider of project and construction management services focused on the mining and metals sector. With over 200 employees, Reta brings strong local expertise to AFRY that will further strengthen our capabilities within core industrial segments in the Americas.
Our strategic efforts during the quarter focused on implementing the new Group structure that came into effect on July 1, 2025. This has entailed a comprehensive restructuring of the organization, including support functions, to streamline operations and enable us to address our cost base going forward. This has resulted in redundancies with related restructuring costs during the quarter. As we continue to optimize the portfolio and address our cost base, we expect further restructuring costs in the range of SEK 200-300 million over the next 12 months. We are expecting the payback time of these restructuring efforts to be on average one year.
With the new Group structure, we have laid the foundations for focused strategic development in our core segments. Entering the second half of 2025, we will continue to drive the implementation of a fit-for-purpose operating model. I look forward to presenting our updated strategy and plan for profitable growth at AFRY's Capital Markets Day on November 4, 2025.
While we are currently navigating challenging market conditions, I remain fully confident in our potential as a company. Building on the foundations of our skilled employees, strong customer relationships and globally leading positions, we will leverage our strengths to create an even more resilient and profitable AFRY going forward.

Division
Net sales for the second quarter amounted to SEK 1,247 million (1,395), a decrease of 10.6 percent. Organic growth adjusted for calendar effects was -3.6 percent. The decline was mainly driven by low demand for large investment projects, especially in the pulp and paper segment.
EBITA amounted to SEK 125 million (129) with an EBITA margin of 10.0 percent (9.3). The EBITA margin increased despite lower net sales and was positively impacted by successful project completions in the quarter.
Demand in pulp and paper remains at a low level, with some signs of increased market activity in Latin America. Capex projects in other process industries, such as mining and metals, are in demand but are being delayed as a result of geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties.

This report was prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies conform with IFRS Accounting Standards (IFRS), as well as with the EU-approved interpretations of the relevant standards from; the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and Chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The report has been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of calculation as those in AFRY's Annual and Sustainability Report 2024 (Note 1).
New or revised IFRS standards coming into force in 2025 have not had any material impact on the Group.
The parent company prepares its financial statements in accordance with the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2, which requires the parent company, as a legal entity, to apply all EU-approved IFRS and interpretations as far as possible within the framework of the Annual Accounts Act and the Pension Obligations Vesting Act, taking into account the relationship between accounting profit and tax expense (income). Disclosures according to IAS 34.16A can partly be found on the pages preceding the condensed consolidated income statement.
The significant risks and uncertainties to which the AFRY Group is exposed include strategic risks linked to the market, acquisitions, sustainability and IT as well as operational risks related to projects and the ability to recruit and retain qualified employees. In addition, the Group is exposed to various financial risks, such as currency risks, interest-rate risks and credit risks. The risks to which the Group is exposed are described in detail in AFRY's Annual and Sustainability Report 2024.
Geopolitical tensions and uncertainties in the macroeconomic environment entail various risks for AFRY and mainly pertain to delayed decision processes and project launches. The global tariff situation has led to increased macroeconomic uncertainty. For AFRY, the tariffs currently have a limited direct impact but we are closely monitoring the development.
Reported contingent liabilities reflect one part of the AFRY Group's exposure to risk. AFRY provides both corporate and bank guarantees when clients request them. This normally involves tender guarantees, advance payment guarantees or performance guarantees. Corporate guarantees are mainly provided by the parent company, AFRY AB, and bank guarantees by AFRY's banks. At 30 June, 2025 the Group's corporate guarantees amounted to SEK 769 million (891) and bank guarantees to SEK 664 million (671). The guarantee amounts do not include pension guarantees, advance payment guarantees or leasing, as these are already recognized as debt in the balance sheet.

The historical figures above are adjusted for minor organizational changes.
The Group's business model is divided into two client offers; Project Business and Professional Services. Project Business is the Group's offer for larger projects and endto-end solutions. In such projects, the Group acts as a partner for the client, manages and operates the entire project. The Group mainly provides services and to some extent materials. Professional Services is our offer in which the client manages and runs the project, while the Group provides suitable expertise at the appropriate time. Revenue is recognized on the basis of promised performance obligations under each client contract.
A performance obligation under a contract is a promise to the client to perform a distinct service. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied and control has been transferred to the client, which may be over time or at a specific point in time. The Group's consulting services are mainly recognized over time, as they do not create an asset with an alternative value.
AFRY offers services both for fixed price and for time and material. Performance obligations in fixed price project are satisfied over time as the service is provided. Revenue recognition is then based on the input method, where accumulated costs are set in relation to total estimated costs. With time and material projects, revenue is recognized at the amount that the entity is entitled to invoice, with a fixed amount for each hour of service provided. For fixed price projects, invoicing takes place as work proceeds in accordance with agreed terms and conditions, either periodically (monthly) or when contractual milestones are reached. Invoicing ordinarily takes place after the income has been recorded, resulting in revenue generated but not invoiced. However, the Group sometimes receives advance payments or deposits from clients before the income is recognized, which then results in work invoiced but not yet carried out.
For time and material project, hours spent on a project are ordinarily invoiced at the end of each month.
Certain AFRY projects include guarantees. In cases where the guarantees do not give rise to a separate performance obligation, the guarantee is recognized in accordance with IAS 37, which means that provisions are recognized in the balance sheet when a legal or informal obligation exists as a result of an event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. The cost is recognized in profit or loss at the same time. As costs arise for the guarantees, the corresponding amount is released from the provision. The provision is reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.

No new acquisitions were made during the period.
When new acquisitions are made, the acquisition analyses are preliminary for the first 12 months until the net assets in the companies acquired have been conclusively analyzed. If the purchase considerations for acquisitions are higher than the recognized net assets of the acquired companies, the acquisition analyses will result in intangible assets.
Agreed contingent considerations for the acquired companies usually relates to the performance of each company over a period of three years.
Part of the purchase price withheld by the buyer as security for potential claims against the seller, will be paid to the seller according to the agreed payment plan. The withheld parts of the purchase price are independent of conditions linked to the future performance of the acquired companies.
Goodwill consists mainly of human capital in the form of employee skills and synergy effects. Goodwill from corporate acquisitions is not expected to be tax-deductible. The acquisition of a consulting business essentially involves the acquisition of human capital, and most of the intangible assets in the company acquired are thus attributable to goodwill. Any non-controlling interests arising, are reported at fair value, which means that non-controlling interests have a portion of goodwill.
Order backlog and client relationships are identified and assessed in connection with completed acquisitions.
Transaction costs are recognized under other external costs in the income statement. Transaction costs amounted to SEK 0 million for the period.
The fair value of the acquired receivables are expected to be settled in full. The agreed gross values essentially correspond to the fair values of the receivables.
In 2024, AFRY acquired all shares in SOM System Kft. & TTSA Mérnökiroda and Carelin Oy. The acquired companies contributed with a total increase of approximately 60 employees. The acquisitions were not individually substantial based on net sales and the average number of employees. All acquisition analyses have been completed and have not led to any significant changes.
No acquisitions have been concluded since the end of the reporting period.
The valuation principles and classification of the Group's financial assets and liabilities, described in Note 13 of AFRY's Annual and Sustainability Report 2024, have been applied consistently throughout the reporting period.

The recognized and fair values of the Group's financial assets and liabilities are presented in the table on the left. The fair value of derivatives is based on level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Contingent considerations are valued at market value in accordance with level 3. Derivative instruments where hedge accounting is not applied are measured at fair value through profit or loss, and derivatives where hedge accounting is applied are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. All other financial assets and liabilities are measured at amortized cost. Compared with 2024, no changes have been made between different levels in the fair value hierarchy for derivatives or loans, nor have any significant changes been made in terms of valuation techniques, inputs or assumptions.
Contingent considerations are valued at market value in accordance with level 3. The calculation of contingent considerations depends on parameters in the relevant agreements. These parameters are primarily linked to expected EBIT for the acquired companies over the next two to three years. The change in the balance sheet item is shown in the table below.

There were no material transactions between AFRY and its related parties during the period.
On July 2, 2025, AFRY announced that Robert Larsson, Executive Vice President and Head of Global Division Transportation & Places, has decided to leave AFRY to take on a new role outside of the company. Robert Larsson will remain in his current role until a successor has been appointed or at the latest until the end of December 2025.
On July 14, 2025, AFRY announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire Reta Engenharia, a Brazilian provider of project and construction management services focused on the mining and metals sector. Reta has approximately 200 employees and recorded a net sales of SEK 135 million in 2024. The acquisition is subject to operational closing conditions and is expected to close during the third quarter of 2025.
The Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer provide assurance that this interim report for the January-June 2025 period gives an accurate overview of the company and Group's operations, financial position and earnings, and describes significant risks and uncertainties to which the company and companies included in the Group are exposed.

The consolidated financial statements contain financial ratios defined according to IFRS. They also include measurements not defined according to IFRS, known as alternative performance measures. The purpose is to provide additional information for comparing trends over the years and to improve the understanding of the underlying operations. These terms may be defined in a different way by other companies and are therefore not always comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
The key ratios and alternative performance measures (APMs) used in this report are defined in AFRY's Annual and Sustainability Report 2024 and on our website: https:// afry.com/en/investor-relations/
Since the Group is active on a global market, sales are transacted in currencies other than the Swedish krona, which is the presentation currency, and exchange rates have been relatively volatile historically. The Group also makes acquisitions and divestments of operations on an ongoing basis. Taken together, this has led to the Group's sales and performance being evaluated on the basis of organic growth.
Organic sales growth provides a comparable measure of sales growth or sales reduction over time and enables separate evaluations to be made of the impact of acquisitions/divestments and exchange rate fluctuations.

Net debt is the total of interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing assets. Net debt also includes dividends decided but not yet paid. Net debt also includes dividends approved but not yet paid. Net debt is used by the Executive Team to monitor and analyze the debt trend in the Group and evaluate the Group's refinancing requirements.
Net debt/EBITDA is a key ratio for net debt in relation to cash-generating profit in the operation, which provides an indication of the business's ability to pay its debts. This metric is commonly used by financial institutions to measure creditworthiness. A negative figure means that the Group has a net cash balance (cash and cash equivalents exceed interest-bearing liabilities).

The equity ratio shows the business's equity in relation to total capital and describes the proportion of the business's assets that are not matched by liabilities. The equity ratio can be seen as the business's ability to pay in the long term. The key ratio is impacted by profitability during the period and by how the business is financed. This metric is often used to provide an indication of how the company is financed and also to see trends in how the business's funds are utilized. A change in the equity ratio over time may, for example, be an indication that the business is reviewing its financing structure or is utilizing its equity to finance an expansion.
