"We expect demand in the fourth quarter to be on about the same level as the third quarter."
Earlier published outlook (July 22, 2025): "We expect demand in the third quarter to be somewhat higher compared to the second quarter."

"Market conditions remained favorable in most end-markets in the third quarter, supported by good order intake in our two largest markets, China and the US. The order intake in marine pumping systems returned as expected to a more normalized level after the record year in 2024. The short-cyclical business, including Service, continued to grow from high levels.
Invoicing grew 6 percent to 17.2 BSEK based on a strong order book and good momentum in the short-cyclical business. Although several manufacturing units worked at unusually high utilization levels, global supply chains remained robust in the quarter. Despite a record level invoicing for a third quarter, the book-to-bill was almost neutral at 0.96 and the order book was 51 BSEK at the end of the quarter.
The EBITA margin improved to above 18 percent supported by a good mix, productivity, and cost prudence in uncertain times. All three divisions contributed to a good margin with the Marine Division continuing to deliver a healthy 24 percent margin. The margin in the Energy Division was stable but somewhat negatively affected by acquisition-related costs for Fives Cryogenics. The Cryogenics Technologies is now gradually integrated as a new Business Unit and delivered a quarter well in line with expectations. The Food & Water Division had a strong quarter with notable improvements in the execution of the project business, as well as a positive mix. In all it was a financially sound quarter with a return on capital employed (ROCE) of 24 percent, a new EBITA record of 3.2 BSEK, and an EPS growth of 16 percent.
With the recent growth in Business Unit Pumping Systems, located on the west coast of Norway in Bergen, the current facilities are not equipped to support the strategic growth plan. A major investment program covering site consolidation and capacity investments has
been launched. The specific investment decisions will be taken in several steps, but in all the program is estimated to cost approximately 4 BSEK between 2025-2032.
Sustainability progress continued, with Scope 1-2 emissions down versus last year and LTIFR targeted improvements underway. New innovations like the Oceanbird wing sail and plate-and-fin heat exchangers advance our decarbonization leadership. The development for safety is unsatisfactory, and relevant measures have been taken to further strengthen the focus and to turn the negative trend seen in 2025.
During the last eight years Alfa Laval has been on a growth journey, investing in the manufacturing footprint, significant product range upgrades, new technology platforms, and service capabilities. Based on a strong operating platform, including a team of over 23,000 very talented employees, and solid technology position to lead the transition to a decarbonized society Alfa Laval is adjusting the financial targets. The growth target is increased from 5 percent to 7 percent per year, and the EBITA profitability target is increased from 15 percent to 17 percent. The ROCE target of 20 percent remains. Although the target is currently exceeded, the impact of future acquisitions is expected to affect ROCE."
Tom Erixon, President and CEO

Alfa Laval Q3 2025
The Energy Division reported a higher order intake compared to the same quarter last year. Orders were positively impacted by the acquisition of the cryogenic business from Fives Group. The acquisition was closed on the 7 th of July and is now operating as a new business unit in the division.
The transactional business developed positively, and with the addition of Cryogenic Technologies, the project business also grew in the quarter. The uncertain political and economic environment remained and slowed down customers' pace for final investment decision for larger projects. Organically, the project business slightly declined compared to the same quarter last year.
From a regional perspective, the demand was high in North America and most European markets. Orders also grew in China and India, but a lower demand in other Asian markets and Latin America.
Orders developed positively in HVAC with high growth in cooling applications, residential heat pumps and refrigeration. The order intake for Light Industry & Tech slightly increased, driven by strong transactional business in the engine applications. Orders in Fossil Base Fuels & Power declined in the quarter driven by slower transactional business in most applications. The project business grew due to high demand in conventional power. Order intake in Process Industry increased compared to last year, driven by growth in organic and inorganic chemicals from the addition of Cryogenic Technologies. Orders increased in Clean Fuels, Power & Chemicals with high project business growth in clean power. The transactional business also grew in most applications.
Service orders were stable compared to the same quarter last year. An increase in the demand for services compensated for a slightly weaker demand for spare parts. Within Service, there was an increased customer demand for long-term service agreements.
Net sales grew compared to the same quarter last year, mainly driven by the transactional business and the project business whereas Service sales were stable.
Adjusted EBITA decreased compared to last year. Organically, invoicing was at the same level as last year but increased in the quarter following the acquisition of Cryogenic Technologies. The mix was negative with a higher share of project business at slightly lower gross margin. Costs related to R&D and investment programs increased and currency had a negative effect on the overall result.

Alfa Laval Q3 2025
Order intake increased compared to same quarter last year, driven by strong development for Service and a positive demand in the transactional business. Most end-markets developed positively, despite some continued caution from customers in final investment decisions for large project orders. Geographically, North America, China and Southern Europe reported strong growth, while orders declined in Southeast Asia & Oceania, Eastern and Northern Europe.
In general, the Oils & Fats market developed well. Good demand in the transactional business was however more than offset by a decline in the project business due to delays in decision making. The strongest growth was seen in Northeastern Asia & India. The Protein market had overall strong performance, with increases across all geographies except in Northern Europe. The underlying industry sentiment remains positive with good customer activity. Dairy reported strong order intake in all regions except for Latin America & Middle East. Pharma & Biotech saw good growth driven by several larger orders across Europe. Globally, a continued positive sentiment was noted with both capacity, national supply chains but also new pharma products driving the demand. Orders in Biofuels declined but the underlying business showed a stable demand, driven by a few projects in North America & Indonesia. The market remains volatile as due to uncertainty around policy decisions. Waste & Water reported good growth, driven by large orders in North America. The market remains project-driven and publicly funded, with a positive investment environment tied to sustainability and infrastructure priorities, though regional challenges persist. Order intake in Brewery was solid, mainly driven by an increase in Asia. Capacity related investments in general remaining limited within the industry.
Service orders were strong, with most regions experiencing doubledigit growth, reflecting robust demand.
Net sales increased compared to same quarter last year, with good execution of the orderbook. The mix benefitted from higher growth in Service, more transactional sales and a positive regional mix.
Adjusted EBITA increased compared to the same period last year, primarily driven by higher sales. A stable sales mix and strong factory performance supported the improvement. However, these gains were partially offset by higher inflation-related costs, increased operating expenses from higher activity levels, and a somewhat negative currency impact.

Alfa Laval Q3 2025
Order intake for the Marine Division was at a lower level compared to the same quarter last year. A higher demand for Service, and product areas separation and heat transfer could not offset the lower demand for marine pumping systems and offshore.
The underlying market sentiment related to the building of new vessels was on a lower level compared to the same period last year as contracting is being impacted by limited yard capacity and uncertainty. Tanker and bulk carrier ordering is significantly lower compared to the exceptional year 2024 but is still at a good historical level and pace, while containership and cruise ship contracting remained strong amid contracting for "green" fleet renewal. The decreased shipbuilding activity has, however, been partially offset by a continued growing demand for sustainability related solutions which mitigate CO2 emissions, including solutions around energy efficiency, low carbon and zero carbon fuels.
Offshore orders were at a lower level compared to the same quarter last year, mainly related to the timing of project decisions. The underlying market sentiment remains strong with the addition of new projects to safeguard long term energy security.
Service orders grew compared to the same quarter last year. Demand was driven by a good activity level in both the shipping and offshore end markets and due to a growing installed base of environmental solutions. Good freight rates in almost all vessel segments and the consequent desire to keep vessel assets in good operational readiness resulted in increased on-board maintenance and higher demand for all service scopes, ranging from spare parts to service.
Net sales were at a higher level than in the same quarter last year. Sales were higher for both Service and Capital Sales in almost all product areas except gas systems and offshore, with good execution of the large order book.
Adjusted EBITA increased compared to the same quarter last year, primarily driven by higher sales and a favorable product mix. The factory and engineering performance was positive, supported by sustained high operational activity. However, overall costs were higher than the previous year, reflecting inflationary pressures and the elevated level of business activity.

Safety is a top priority for Alfa Laval. The new distribution centre in Lund is a recent example where safety was thought through in every aspect, from building design to equipment investments. A key goal was to separate people from forklifts and heavy machinery to ensure a safer work environment. Equipment choices were made based on safety, and decisions were taken to enhance protection
Alfa Laval sites consistently implement changes to enhance workflows and reduce environmental impacts. At the Kunshan site in China, clean surfaces on tubular fittings were previously achieved through vibration polishing, a process which produced dust that was removed using chemicals and substantial amounts of water. By optimizing the polishing process, the site eliminated 940 tonnes of sewage associated with vibration polishing. As a result, annual water withdrawal is estimated to decrease by 30% in m³ and electricity usage by 5% in MWh/k direct hours per year.

Alfa Laval's overall energy consumption increased in Q3 compared to Q3, 2024.
The main reasons were increased electricity consumption in one BU due to higher production rate and increased district heating consumption due to a site expansion in Sweden.
Both Scope 1 and 2 emissions decreased compared to Q3, 2024. The reduction in Scope 2 is mainly related to increased selfgenerated electricity in markets where renewable electricity is scarce. Scope 1 reduction is due to the electrification of the production process at one site in China, which previously relied on natural gas.
Simultaneously, the consumption of energy sources such as natural gas, heating oil, and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) decreased.
The number of Lost Time Injuries (LTIs) increased during Q3 2025 compared to Q2, with the Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) rising to 2.1 from 1.9 (LTM). Most incidents involved cuts and crush injuries to hands and fingers, often occurring during manual handling of products, tools and equipment. Several accidents happened during non-routine work or when the correct tools, processes or protective equipment were not used.
The main underlying causes were insufficient risk assessment but also human factors such as poor planning of work, haste or reduced attention. All incidents were of low to moderate severity, and no case during the quarter was classified as severe. The negative trend is being addressed with urgency, and actions are being prioritized to strengthen risk assessments, improve work practices, and reinforce safety awareness across operations.

During the third quarter Alfa Laval has introduced, among others, the following new products that help our customers to become more energy efficient, reduce their carbon footprint and improve their processes:
After an intensive development phase, Oceanbird has transitioned from concept to commercial reality, marking a major milestone in maritime decarbonization. The first Oceanbird Wing 560 — a 40 meter-high rigid wing sail — was successfully unveiled in Landskrona, Sweden. At the inauguration, the wing completed its first full rotation, proving that wind-assisted propulsion is a practical, working solution for the shipping industry.
Oceanbird, a joint venture between Alfa Laval and Wallenius Lines, will now move into the scaling phase. A second wing sail is under assembly and scheduled for installation on Wallenius Wilhelmsen's vessel Tirranna in early 2026.
Heat transfer between gases plays a crucial role in a rapidly growing number of processes, including energy storage, fossil-free heat generation, refrigeration, compressor cooling, and chemical processing.
Since heat transfer between gases is much more challenging than between liquids, heat exchangers in gas applications have traditionally been very large, resulting in high costs and complex installations.
But not anymore. Alfa Laval is now introducing a completely new technology that will revolutionize gas processes: the plate-and-fin heat exchanger. Its unique design offers outstanding thermal efficiency, resulting in exceptionally compact units.
Alfa Laval's new plate-and-fin heat exchangers enable customers across industries to save energy and reduce carbon emissions, while also freeing up installation space and minimizing capital costs.
With the Culturefuge 200 B, biopharma producers can confidently scale up high-density fermentation—knowing their downstream separation is as advanced as their upstream innovation. Featuring Alfa Laval´s unique Hermetic Design and Bactofuge technologies, it protects sensitive cells from breaking, handles thick broths, and boost yield - which means customers get more value from their process.

On January 1, 2025, Alfa Laval acquired 100 % of an American service provider. The company will operate under its own name as an independent channel and has a minor impact on the group.
On April 2, 2025, Alfa Laval acquired 100% of NRG Marine, a leading provider of ultrasonic anti-fouling solutions for marine, oil and gas, and industrial applications, headquartered in the United Kingdom. The acquisition aims to leverage the increased use of innovative ultrasonic anti-fouling technology, which is poised to increase in demand across significant industries.
On July 7, 2025, Alfa Laval acquired 100% of the Fives Cryogenics business unit, part of Fives Group. Fives Cryogenics is a worldleading expert in cryogenic heat transfer and pump technologies, headquartered in France. This acquisition provides Alfa Laval with a strong portfolio of heat transfer and pump products for gas liquefaction.
Please refer to note 10 for more information about the acquisitions.
The main factors of risk and uncertainty facing the Group concern the business cycle, the consequences of Russia's war on Ukraine and other geo-political tensions, the price development of metals, inflationary pressures, the interest rate development and volatile fluctuations in major currencies. It is the company's opinion that the description of risks made in the Annual Report for 2024 is still correct.
The ongoing conflict has resulted in that Alfa Laval has ceased all commercial activities in Russia. Alfa Laval's assessment is that the longer-term implications of the war are of such a magnitude that the company in 2022 provided for the entire closure of operations.
The current geopolitical environment has resulted in several sanction packages imposed on several countries where conflicts are ongoing. Alfa Laval follows and enforces all sanction imposed by the European Union as well as all US and other sanctions that are applicable. The significantly increased amount of sanctioned entities together with the sophisticated circumvention attempts, make the assurance work more demanding.
The Alfa Laval Group was as of September 30, 2025 named as a co-defendant in a total of 303 asbestos-related lawsuits with a total of approximately 303 plaintiffs. Alfa Laval strongly believes the claims against the Group are without merit and intends to vigorously contest each lawsuit.
Based on current information and Alfa Laval's understanding of these lawsuits, Alfa Laval continues to believe that these lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial condition or results of operation.
The dynamics and development of global trade is uncertain with background of the ongoing implementation of trade tariffs and reciprocal escalations in response. Alfa Laval is monitoring the situation closely to ensure appropriate measures are taken to handle commercial exposures, supply chain disruptions and guide further actions.
Alfa Laval follows the Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures issued by ESMA, European Securities and Markets Authority. For definitions of the alternative performance measures, refer to the Annual Report 2024. The definitions remain unchanged, except for Order backlog which has changed name to Order book. Additionally, the Alternative Performance Measure (APM) "Free cash flow per share" has been restated from Q1 2025 due to
modifications in the presentation of the consolidated statement of cash flows. Detailed information regarding these modifications can be found in Note 1 and 9. The affected APM is marked with a footnote where applicable, as the comparison periods have been recalculated.
No significant events other than stated above have occurred after the reporting period.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The interim report has been reviewed by the company's auditors.

The interim report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The accounting and valuation principles of the parent company comply with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for legal entities, issued by the Council for Financial Reporting in Sweden.
Full descriptions of accounting principles are presented in the Annual Report 2024. These principles have been consistently applied as in the Annual Report, however, starting from Q1 2025, some changes have been implemented in the interim report. Structurally, certain information has been moved to a notes section. Additionally, the Consolidated comprehensive income has been divided into two separate reports: the Condensed consolidated income statement and the Condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The Condensed consolidated statement of cash flows is now presented after the Condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity. Furthermore, changes have been made to the presentation of some of the financial statements, detailed below:
Condensed consolidated income statement and Condensed parent company income statement: The financial statement lines "Other operating income" and "Other operating costs" have been merged into "Other operating income and costs". Similarly, the lines "Dividends and other financial income and costs", "Interest income and financial exchange rate gains" and "Interest expense and financial exchange rate losses" have been merged into "Financial net", which is specified in Note 6.
The Comprehensive income is now presented in a separate financial statement with a slightly modified layout for clarity.
Condensed statement of changes in equity: The layout of this report has been revised for better clarity. Additionally, the statement is now condensed with fewer details, presenting only the current period and the comparison period.
Condensed consolidated statement of cash flows: The structure of the cash flow statement has been remodelled and the comparative numbers have been recalculated accordingly. Please refer to Note 9 for further details.
Furthermore, the report on Net sales by product has been condensed to only show Alfa Laval's main product groups, including related services. This means that the previous categories "Marine environmental", "Associated products", and "Services" are now included in the other four categories. The categories "Marine environmental " and "Associated Products" are included in "Other", while "Service" is distributed across all categories as service is reported based on the type of product it was performed on.
Moreover, the amounts previously reported as "Consolidation adjustments" in the table Reconciliation between Divisions and Group total are now included in the Adjusted EBITA and Operating Income in the Other Division. Thus, the amounts are now part of the Adjusted EBITA for the Divisions in the table "Reconciliation between Divisions and Group total" as well as in Other in Note 2. Segment reporting.
The totals in the tables and the calculated totals may not always match due to rounding differences on individual lines. Each subtotal, and line item, corresponds to its original source and rounding, which can lead to discrepancies with reported totals that aggregate the exact figures before rounding.

During the year, Alfa Laval increased its borrowings through corporate bonds listed on the Irish Stock Exchange as well as new term loans. Three new bonds were issued in June, amounting to EUR 300 million, SEK 600 million and SEK 400 million, respectively. Two new term loans of EUR 200 million each were drawn upon in July.
The increase in funding was driven by the financing need for the acquisition of Fives Cryogenics, which was completed at the beginning of July 2025.

We have reviewed the condensed interim report for Alfa Laval AB (publ) as of September 30, 2025 and for the nine months period then ended. 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 Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our 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.
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.
