{2}------------------------------------------------

Full-year 2025

During 2025, we laid the foundation for profitable growth by establishing a new, simplified Group structure, driving an ambitious restructuring agenda and harmonizing ways of working across AFRY. In November, we launched our new strategy and introduced financial targets for 2028. At the same time, the global market has been marked by uncertainty, and we navigated challenging conditions across several segments throughout the year. With a sharper focus and by fully leveraging the capabilities across our organization, we enter 2026 well into the execution phase of our strategy.

For full-year 2025, net sales amounted to SEK 25,758 million (27,160). Currency and calendar effects impacted net sales by SEK -555 million and SEK -153 million, respectively. The decline in net sales was a result of the challenging market in parts of the business and strategic capacity adjustments. EBITA excluding items affecting comparability amounted to SEK 1,867 million (2,113). This corresponded to an EBITA margin of 7.2 percent, which was in line with the calendar-adjusted EBITA margin of 7.3 percent in 2024.

Fourth quarter

Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 6,647 million (7,085). Currency effects impacted net sales by SEK -195 million.

EBITA excluding items affecting comparability amounted to SEK 577 million (586), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 8.7 percent (8.3). The margin improvement was mainly driven by ongoing capacity adjustments. The utilization rate improved to 72.8 percent (72.3), which supported profitability development in the quarter and reflects our strong focus on operational efficiency.

During the quarter, we made significant progress in our restructuring efforts to optimize our portfolio and adjust capacity, which resulted in items affecting comparability of SEK -161 million (0). We estimate that restructuring costs from the third quarter of 2025 to the second quarter of 2026 will be at the upper end of our guidance of SEK 200-300 million.

Operating cash flow amounted to SEK 1,333 million (1,304) in the quarter. The strong cash flow contributed to a lower net debt/EBITDA ratio, which was 2.5 at year-end. Based on AFRY's financial position and results for the year, the Board of Directors proposes a dividend of SEK 6.00 (6.00) per share for 2025.

Market update

Market conditions were consistent with previous quarters of 2025, with mixed demand across our portfolio. We are seeing strong demand in areas such as total defense, energy and transport infrastructure, while market activity remains subdued in real estate and parts of the industrial sector, including pulp and paper. As we enter the new year, global uncertainty continues to impact overall investment sentiment across sectors.

Our order backlog improved 5.4 percent year-over-year, adjusted for currency effects, and amounted to SEK 20.4 billion (20.1) at year-end. New contracts during the quarter included project management for MEPCO's new paper machine line and an assignment for the expansion of the Lötschberg railway tunnel in Switzerland. We also entered into a framework agreement with Vattenfall to provide technical consultancy services in areas such as nuclear, hydro and wind power.

Priorities going forward

Our structured efforts to focus, simplify and harmonize the business are delivering results. Going forward, we will continue to execute our strategy at high pace, driven by several ongoing initiatives across prioritized focus areas. This includes further strengthening our order backlog and utilization, improving operational efficiency, and completing the remaining parts of our restructuring agenda and portfolio optimization. This will be critical to deliver on the profitability path we set out in our 2028 strategy.

As we close an eventful year, I would like to thank our employees for their dedication and hard work. Together, we have successfully maintained business momentum and delivered to our clients, while driving significant change across the organization. I would also like to thank our clients for their trust and partnership. I look forward to another exciting year ahead as we continue building on our strong foundation.

Net sales

Net sales for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 2,431 million (2,538), a decrease of 4.2 percent. Organic growth adjusted for calendar effects was -1.9 percent. The decline in net sales was mainly a result of the capacity adjustments implemented to mitigate the weak market in parts of the division.

EBITA and EBITA margin

EBITA amounted to SEK 191 million (231), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 7.9 percent (9.1). Profitability decreased due to the lower sales volumes and a lower attendance rate compared to the same quarter of 2024.

Market development

Public investment remains at a stable level across the division's markets, supported by long-term commitments in transport, energy, and water infrastructure. The transport infrastructure market is generally strong, driven by extensive national investment programs, climate adaptation initiatives, and defense-related investments. Demand in the real estate sector remains low, and is primarily focused on refurbishments, public investments, and projects related to defense and data centers.

Notes

Note 1 Accounting policies

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.

Note 2 Risks and uncertainties

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 and macroeconomic uncertainties

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.

Contingent liabilities

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 December 31, 2025 the Group's corporate guarantees amounted to SEK 780 million (967) and bank guarantees to SEK 684 million (666). The guarantee amounts do not include pension guarantees, advance payment guarantees or leasing, as these are already recognized as debt in the balance sheet.

Revenue recognition

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.

Acquisition analyses (PPAs)

When new acquisitions are made, the purchase price allocations are preliminary for the first 12 months until the net assets in the companies acquired have been fully analyzed. If the purchase considerations for acquisitions exceeds the recognized net assets of the acquired companies, the purchase price allocations result in recognition of identifiable intangible assets.

Contingent considerations

Agreed contingent consideration for the acquired companies usually relates to the performance of each company over a three-year period.

Holdback

A portion 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 portion of the purchase price are independent of conditions linked to the future performance of the acquired companies.

Goodwill

Goodwill mainly consists of human capital in the form of employee expertise and expected synergy effects. Goodwill arising from corporate acquisitions is not expected to be tax-deductible. In the acquisition of a consulting business, the primary asset acquired is human capital, meaning that most of the acquired company's intangible assets are attributable to goodwill. Any non-controlling interests arising are measured at fair value, which means that non-controlling interests include a share of goodwill.

Other intangible assets

Order backlog and client relationships are identified and measured in connection with completed acquisitions.

Transaction costs

Transaction costs are recognized under other external expense in the income statement. Transaction costs amounted to SEK 3 million for the period.

Acquired receivables

The fair value of the acquired receivables are expected to be fully collectable. The agreed gross amounts essentially correspond to the fair value of the receivables.

Revenue and profit from acquired companies

The acquired company is expected to contribute approximately SEK 135 million in revenue and approximately SEK 33 million in operating profit on a full-year basis.

Since the acquisition date, the company has contributed SEK 66 million to the Group's revenue and SEK 14 million to operating profit.

Completion of acquisitions analyses from 2024

In 2024, AFRY acquired all shares in SOM System Kft. & TTSA Mérnökiroda and Carelin Oy. The acquired companies added a total of approximately 60 employees. The acquisitions were not individually material based on net sales and the average number of employees. All acquisition analyses have been finalized and did not result in any material adjustments.

Acquisitions after the end of the reporting period

No acquisitions have been completed since the end of the reporting period.

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

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

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.

Alternative performance measures

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.

Definitions

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/

Organic growth

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.

EBITA/EBITA excluding items affecting comparability

Operating profit before associates and items affecting comparability refers to the operating profit after reversing material items and events related to changes in the Group's structure and operations which are relevant for an understanding of the Group's performance on a comparable basis. Acquisition-related items are defined as depreciation/amortization and impairment of acquisition-related intangible assets including goodwill, revaluation of contingent consideration and gains/losses on divestments of companies and operations.

Items affecting comparability primarily relates to restructuring costs and costs associated with major acquisitions. Other non-recurring items may also be reported as items affecting comparability where this provides a more accurate picture of the underlying operating profit. These metrics are used by the Executive Team to monitor and analyze underlying performance and to provide comparable figures between periods.

Net debt

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).

Equity ratio

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.
