Comments from the CEO

AFRY reported an improved EBITA margin and a positive development of the order backlog in the third quarter. This was achieved despite a decline in net sales due to a still challenging market in several segments and negative currency effects. The quarter was the first with our new Group structure, under which we have continued to pave the way for profitable growth.

Market update

Persistent global uncertainty has impacted overall investment sentiment across sectors. This is most evident in our Global Division Industry, where demand remains mixed. There, we are seeing strong market opportunities in areas such as defense and mining & metals, while the slowdown in the Nordic industrial market is impacting parts of the portfolio such as automotive and pulp & paper. For Transportation & Places, demand in road & rail infrastructure remains solid, while the real estate market is still subdued. The long-term demand in Energy continues to be strong, with some regional variations in the short term.

Financial results

Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 5,687 million (5,993), corresponding to organic growth adjusted for calendar effects of -3.7 percent. Currency effects impacted net sales by SEK -118 million. The decline in net sales was mainly driven by challenging market conditions in parts of Industry and related capacity adjustments.

EBITA excluding items affecting comparability amounted to SEK 362 million (365). This corresponds to an EBITA margin of 6.4 percent, an improvement compared to the calendar-adjusted EBITA margin of 6.3 percent in the same quarter last year. Profitability was at a stable level despite the decline in net sales, mainly due to actions implemented to mitigate weak market conditions in some segments. Items affecting comparability amounted to SEK -31 million (0) in the quarter and consisted of costs related to the ongoing restructuring efforts.

Operating cash flow was slightly stronger than usual for the third quarter and amounted to SEK 418 million (162).

New projects

Our order backlog increased by 3.6 percent compared to last year and amounted to SEK 20.4 billion (19.7) at the end of the period.

We secured important client contracts across our three Global Divisions during the quarter. In the mining & metals segment, we have been selected to lead the pre-feasibility study for Anglo American's Sakatti mining project in Finland. AFRY brings deep knowledge in sustainable engineering to the project, which will supply critical minerals essential to Europe's green transition. We also signed a framework agreement with Svenska Kraftnät, under which we will contribute our transmission & distribution expertise to strengthen Sweden's energy system. Lastly, we secured a road & rail contract with the Danish Road Directorate to provide comprehensive advisory services in traffic management and emergency preparedness.

Paving the way for strategic execution

With the launch of our simplified Group structure, the third quarter marked a decisive step toward establishing a fit-for-purpose operating model aligned with AFRY's new strategic direction. We further intensified our work to improve utilization and structurally address our cost base. As part of this, we continued to execute on our restructuring agenda, and we reiterate our estimate of related costs in the range of SEK 200-300 million from the third quarter of 2025 to the second quarter of 2026. We also took steps to harmonize our incentive structures, with the aim of reducing complexity and sub-optimization. Lastly, strategies for each Global Division and Segment are now in place, providing a strong foundation for delivering on our strategic ambitions.

While we are still in the initial stages of our execution journey, it is encouraging to see early indications of progress. I have great confidence in our strategic direction and look forward to sharing more details at AFRY's upcoming Capital Markets Day on November 4.

Finally, I would like to thank all AFRY employees for their focus on maintaining business momentum and delivering outstanding value to our clients. Your engagement in our new strategic direction is instrumental as we work to strengthen our performance.

Auditor's review report

To the Board of Directors of AFRY AB (publ) Corp. ID no. 556120-6474

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim report of AFRY AB (publ) for the period January 1 - September 30, 2025. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the 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 Information 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 has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally accepted auditing practices.

The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not, in all material respects, prepared for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

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 September 30, 2025 the Group's corporate guarantees amounted to SEK 773 million (897) and bank guarantees to SEK 582 million (676). 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

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.

Contingent considerations

Agreed contingent considerations for the acquired companies usually relates to the performance of each company over a period of three years.

Holdback

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

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.

Other intangible assets

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

Transaction costs

Transaction costs are recognized under other external costs 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 settled in full. The agreed gross values essentially correspond to the fair values of the receivables.

Revenue and profit from acquired companies

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

Since the acquisition date, the company has contributed SEK 15 million to the Group's revenue and SEK 3 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 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.

Acquisitions after the end of the reporting period

No acquisitions have been made 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.
