The third quarter of 2025 was characterized by the same challenging market conditions that affected the earlier periods of th e year. Arctic Paper's consolidated revenues decreased marginally to PLN 796.2 million (819.3 million) while EBITDA declined to PLN 38.9 million (77.3) with the corresponding EBITDA margin of 4.9 percent (9.4). The cost reduction and efficiency program initiated in the second quarter of 2025 is now being implemented, aimed at annual saving of PLN 45 –50 million and cash flow improvements of PLN 35 million. The main financial effects are expected to materialize during next year. The Group's financial position remains solid, reflected in a net debt/EBITDA ratio of 1.54. The successful completion of a planned refinancing on similar terms after the period further underlines our strength.
For the paper segment, market conditions remained largely unchanged, with weak demand across all subsegments amid continued economic stagnation in Europe. At the same time, trade policy shifts in the U.S. and increased subsidized imports from China have intensified price pressure and competition. Leveraging our strength and resilience, we've turned market challenges into opportunity through agile pricing and smart cost actions – driving continued growth and proving Arctic Paper is a stable and reliable paper supplier that is here to stay. The volumes sold increased to 129 000 tons (112 000) while revenues per ton decreased to 4.46 kPLN (5.46). Our revenue increased to PLN 576.2 million (562.4) with an EBITDA of PLN 38.5 million (46.3) which is significantly better than last quarter. After the period, we have decided to invest EUR 1.5 million in a new electrical boiler to save energy costs and reducing emissions at the mill in Kostrzyn.
For the pulp segment, the third quarter proved challenging, with continued weak market conditions weighing on Rottneros results, as they did across the European pulp industry. Net sales declined by 16 percent to SEK 574 million (68 6), reflecting lower CTMP volumes, softer prices in local currency, and a stronger Swedish krona. EBITDA amounted to SEK –21 million (70), mainly driven by lower prices and volumes as well as currency effects. While wood prices remain at an unsatisfactorily high level and continue to pressure margins, we are now seeing increased supply and declining input prices. The cost -
adjustment measures we initiated are largely completed and are already strengthening our competitiveness. Going forward, our primary focus is on capital efficiency.
In the energy segment, the boiler upgrade and wood pellet production investment in Grycksbo is on schedule for completion before year-end. The project will lower energy costs and create an additional revenue stream for the mill.
The packaging segment continued to develop stably. The moulded fibre tray production in Kostrzyn is now operational.
We do not expect a recovery in Europe this year but remain confident that the measures we are taking will support long -term competitiveness and stronger margins for the Group. In the near term, we maintain a disciplined focus on cost efficiency, financial strength, and customer value to ensure sustainable returns. Like a lightweight fighter, we rely on agility, precision, and speed – able to adapt quickly to changing conditions and respond strategically rather than through sheer size. This flexibility enables us to seize opportunities even in a volatile environment.
The decrease in paper and pulp sales revenue in the three quarters of 2025 compared to the three quarters of 2024 is primaril y due to a decrease in paper sales prices and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in pulp sales prices. In addition, there was a decrease in volume sales of both paper and pulp. For the same reasons, there was a decrease in revenue from paper and pulp sales in Q3 2025 compared to Q3 2024.
The decrease in profit on sales, EBIT, EBITDA and net profit for the three quarters of 2025 compared to the three quarters of 2024 is due to the decrease in revenue from paper and pulp sales and the significant increase in the cost of pulp used in paper production. The analogous situation is in Q3 2025 compared to Q3 2024. In addition, the decrease in EBIT in Q2 2025 is due to the impairment allowance of assets in Rottneros.

The increase in the value of non-current assets at the end of September 2025 compared to the previous year-end is mainly due to the higher value of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. The increase in property, plant and equipment and non-materiel assets is mainly due to new investments in the Group (in particular: the pellet factory in Grycksbo and the tray factory).
The decrease in current assets at the end of September 2025 compared to the end of the previous year is mainly due to the decrease in cash and cash equivalents.
The slight increase in the value of equity at the end of September 2025 compared to the end of the previous year is mainly due to an increase in the valuation of subsidiaries for which the functional currency is other than PLN, recognised in other comprehensive income and the positive valuation of financial instruments treated as hedges of future cash flows .
The increase in the value of current liabilities at the end of September 2025 compared to the end of the previous year is mai nly due to an increase in revolving credit and current account debt, mainly with companies in the Rottneros group.
The decrease in non-current liabilities at the end of September 2025 compared to the end of the previous year is mainly due to a decrease in loans due to their reclassification to the current portion.

The main reason for the increase in revenue and profit in Q3 2025 compared to Q3 2024 was higher revenue from the sale of services to Group companies, including interest income from loans granted and dividend income for the period. Lower revenues at the end of the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 are mainly due to lower dividend revenues.
The lower EBIT and EBITDA loss in Q3 2025, compared to the equivalent period in 2024, was the result of higher revenue, which consisted of sales of services provided to Group companies, including interest income on loans granted and dividends for the period.
The financial result in Q3 2025, compared to the equivalent period in 2024, was due to lower financial income and higher financial expenses.

At the end of September 2025, the value of equity increased mainly due to the profit generated in 2025
The decrease in current liabilities in Q3 2025 is due to a decrease in the company's cash-pooling liabilities compared to the equivalent period in 2024.
The decrease in the value of long-term liabilities at the end of September 2025 compared to the end of the previous year is mainly due to the decrease in the value of loans due to their reclassification to the short -term part.

The negative cash flows from operating activities at the end of the third quarter of the current year was mainly due to the change in cash-pooling liabilities compared to the same period in 2024.
In the three quarters of 2025, flows from investing activities amounted to PLN -71,601 thousand. The negative flows were related to the share capital surcharge in the subsidiary Arctic Power sp. z o.o. and the purchase of shares in Rottneros .
At the end of Q3 2025, the company recorded positive cash flows from financing activities, resulting mainly from the utilisation of overdraft limits and the receipt of further tranches of the investment loan related to the pellet plant projec t at Arctic Paper Grycksbo.

At the end of Q3 2025, the EUR/PLN rate amounted to 4.2692 and was by 0.2% lower than at the end of Q3 2024. The mean EUR/PLN exchange rate in Q3 2025 amounted to 4.2588 and was by 0.6% lower than in the equivalent period of 2024.
The EUR/SEK exchange rate amounted to 11.0658 at the end of Q3 2025 (decrease by 2% versus the end of Q3 2024). For that currency pair, the average exchange rate in Q3 2025 was by 2.9% lower than in the same period of 2024. The somewhat appreciating SEK versus EUR has been adversely impacting the revenue invoiced in EUR in the factories in Sweden (AP Munkedals and AP Grycksbo).
The USD/PLN exchange rate as at the end of Q3 2025 amounted to 3.6315. In Q3 2025 the mean USD/PLN exchange rate was 3.6449 versus 3.9010 in the equivalent period of the previous year which was a decrease by 6.6%. It was also 3% lower than in Q2 2025. The change has adversely affected the costs incurred in USD by AP Kostrzyn, in particular the costs of pulp.
The USD/SEK exchange rate as at the end of Q3 2025 amounted to 9.4129. In Q3 2025, the mean exchange rate amounted to 9.5158 compared to 10.4284 in the equivalent period of the previous year which was a depreciation of the exchange rate by 8.8%. In Q3 2025, the average USD/SEK exchange rate decreased by 1.5% compared to Q2 2025. The change in the exchange rate compared to the corresponding quarter of 2024, as well as to the quarter prior to the current year, had a favourable impact on the costs realised in USD by AP Munkedals and AP Grycksbo, in particular pulp costs.
The EUR/USD exchange rate at the end of September this year was 1.1756, compared to 1.1204 (+4.9%) at the end of September 2024. The average rate in Q3 2025 was 1.1685, compared with 1.0984 in the equivalent period last year and 1.1338 in Q2 2025. This represents a strengthening of the EUR against the USD compared to Q3 2024 by 6.4% and compared to Q2 2025 by 3.1%.
The strengthening of the PLN against the EUR has adversely affected the Group 's financial profit, mainly due to decreased sales revenue generated in EUR and translated into PLN. The strengthening PLN against USD in turn had a positive impact on the Group's financial performance, as it resulted in lower purchase costs for the main raw material at the Kostrzyn mill. The strengthening SEK against EUR adversely affected revenue generated in EUR at the APM and APG factories.
The material factors that have an impact on the financial results over the next quarter, include:
− Price fluctuations of raw materials, including pulp for Paper Mills and electricity for all operational entities. In particul ar, financial results of Paper Mills may be negatively influenced by increasing pulp prices, particularly BHKP. On the other hand, dropping NBSK pulp prices may negatively affect the financial results of Pulp Mills. Fluctuations of electricity prices in Sweden may also have a material impact on the results generated by the Group. In the future, such market
changes may translate into changes of sales profitability in Paper Mills of AP Munkedals and AP Grycksbo as well as in Pulp Mills of Rottneros and Vallvik.
In Q3 2025, there were no material changes to the risk factors. Those were presented in detail in the annual report for 2024.
The Group's operating activity has been and will continue to be historically influenced by the following key factors:
We believe that a number of macro-economic and other economic factors have a material impact on the demand for high quality paper, and they may also influence the demand for the Group's products and the Group's operating results. Those factors include:
The trend observed in developed societies concerning a reduction of man's adverse impact on the environment, in particular reduction of use of disposable, plastic packaging that may not be recycled, offers new opportunities for the development of the pulp & paper sector. In many companies, work has been under way to develop ne w methods of packaging and production of packaging with natural materials, including pulp, so that it can be recycled. Arctic Paper is also involved in such resear ch. In the near future, the product segment is expected to increase its percentage share in the volumes and revenue of the Arctic Paper Group.
Development of new technologies, in particular in the areas of information and communication, results in decreasing demand for certain paper types – in particular, this affects newsprint and to a lesser extent – graphic papers. However, despite the increasing popularity of e-books, the volume of book paper produced and sold by Arctic Paper has been stable in the recent years, less sensitive to changing market conditions. Nevertheless, in its strategy Arctic Paper has set a direction of activi ty so that within several years, the segment of non-graphic papers (that is technical or packaging paper) accounts for 1/5 of its consolidated revenue.
Paper prices undergo cyclic changes and fluctuations, they depend on global changes in demand and overall macroeconomic and other economic factors such as indicated above. Prices of paper are also influenced by a number of factors related to the supply, primarily changes in production capacities at the worldwide and European level.
The main elements of the Group's operating expenses include raw materials, energy and transportation. The costs of raw materials include mainly the costs of pulp for Paper Mills, timber for Pulp Mills and chemical agents used for paper and pulp production. Our energy costs historically include mostly the costs of electricity, gas and rights to CO2 emissions. The costs of transportation include the costs of transportation services provided to the Group mainly by external entities.
Taking into account the share of those costs in total operating expenses of the Group and the limited possibility of controlling these costs by the Group Companies, their fluctuations may have a major impact on the Group 's profitability.
A part of pulp supplies to our Paper Mills is made from our own Pulp Mills. The remaining part of the pulp produced at the Pulp Mills is sold to external customers.
The Group's operating results are significantly influenced by currency rate fluctuations. In particular, the Group 's revenue and costs are expressed in different foreign currencies and are not matched, therefore, the appreciation of the currencies in which we incur costs towards the currencies in which we generate revenue, will have an adverse effect on the Group 's results. Our products are primarily sold to euro zone countries, Scandinavia, Poland and the UK, thus our revenue are largely denominated in EUR, GBP, SEK and PLN while revenue from the pulp mills are primarily denominated in USD. The Group's operating expenses are primarily expressed in USD (pulp costs for Paper Mills), EUR (costs related to pulp for Paper Mills, energy, transportation, chemicals), PLN (the majority of other costs incurred by the Paper Mill in Kostrzyn nad Odrą) and SEK (the majority of other costs incurred by the Munkedal and Grycksbo Paper Mills as well as the Rottneros and Vallvik Pulp Mills).
Exchange rates also have an important impact on results reported in our financial statements because of changes in exchange rates of the currencies in which we generate revenue and incur costs, and the currency in which we report our financial results (PLN).

These interim abbreviated consolidated financial statements were approved for publication by the Management Board on 06 November 2025.
These interim abbreviated consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standard No. 34 and the Regulation of the Minister of Finance of 29 March 2018 on current and periodic information provided by issuers of securities and on conditions under which information required by legal regulations of a third country may be recognised as equivalent (Journal of Laws of 2018, item 757).
These interim abbreviated consolidated financial statements have been presented in Polish zloty ("PLN") and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (PLN '000) except as stated otherwise.
These interim abbreviated consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the assumption that the Group will continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future.
The interim abbreviated consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group 's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended on 31 December 2024.
In connection with the term and revolving credit facility agreements signed on 2 April 2021, the Group has committed to meeting certain financial ratios, which are calculated at the end of each quarter. As of 30 September 2025, the Group has met the financial ratios required by the above-mentioned loan agreement with the consortium of financing banks (Santander Bank S.A, Bank BNP Paribas S.A. and Pekao SA).
The accounting principles (policies) applied to prepare the interim abbreviated consolidated financial statements are compliant with those applied to the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended on 31 December 2024, except for those presented below.
a) Amendments to IAS 21 "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates"
In August 2023 the Board published amendments to IAS 21 "The Effects of Changes in FX Rates". The changes introduced are intended to make it easier for entities to determine whether a currency is convertible into another currency and to estim ate the immediate FX rate when a currency is not convertible. In addition, the amendments to the standard require additional disclosures in the case of non-convertibility on how the alternative exchange rate was determined.
In these interim consolidated financial statements, the Group has not decided to early apply the following published standards, interpretations or amendments to existing standards before their effective date:
a) Changes in the classification and measurement of financial instruments – Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7.
In May 2024, the IASB published amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 to:
The published amendments are effective for financial statements for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026.
"Annual Improvements to IFRS" introduces changes to the standards: IFRS 1 "First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards", IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures", IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments", IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements" and IAS 7 "Statement of Cash Flows".
The amendments provide clarifications and clarify the standards ' guidance on recognition and measurement.
The published amendments are effective for financial statements for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026.
In December 2024, the Council published the amendments to help companies better recognise the financial effects of contracts relating to natural dependent electricity, which are often in the form of power purchase agreements (PPAs). The current guidance may not fully capture the impact of these contracts on the company 's performance. To enable companies to better reflect these contracts in their financial statements, the Board has amended IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: disclosures. These changes include:
The published amendments are effective for financial statements for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026.
In April 2024, the Council published the new standard IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements". The standard is intended to replace IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements and will be effective from 1 January 2027. The changes to the superseded standard mainly concern three issues: the statement of profit or loss, required disclosures about performance measures and issues related to the aggregation and disaggregation of information contained in financial statements.
The published standard will be effective for financial statements for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027. At the date of these consolidated financial statements, these amendments have not yet been approved by the European Union.
In May 2024, the Board issued a new accounting standard, IFRS 19, which can be adopted by certain subsidiaries applying IFRS accounting standards to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in their financial statements. The new standard introduces simplified and limited disclosure requirements. As a result, the qualifying subsidiary applies the requirements of other IFRS accounting standards with the exception of the disclosure requirements and instead applies the limited disclosure requirements of IFRS 19.
Eligible subsidiaries are entities that are not subject to so-called public accountability as defined in the new standard. In addition, IFRS 19 requires the ultimate or intermediate parent of the entity to prepare publicly available consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.
Eligible entities may choose to apply the guidance of the new IFRS 19 for financial statements prepared for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027.
At the date of these consolidated financial statements, these amendments have not yet been approved by the European Union.
This standard allows entities that prepare their financial statements in accordance with IFRS for the first time (on or after 1 January 2016) to recognise amounts arising from price-regulated activities in accordance with existing accounting policies. To improve comparability, with entities that already apply IFRS and do not report such amounts, under published IFRS 14, amounts arising from regulated price activities should be presented as a separate line item in both the statement of financia l position and the statement of profit and loss and statement of other comprehensive income.
By a decision of the European Union, IFRS 14 will not be endorsed.
g) Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 on the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associates or joint ventures
The amendments resolve the current inconsistency between IFRS 10 and IAS 28. The accounting treatment depends on whether the non-monetary assets sold or contributed to the associate or joint venture constitute a "business".
Where non-monetary assets constitute a "business", the investor shows a full profit or loss on the transaction. If, on the other hand, the assets do not meet the definition of a business, the investor only recognises a gain or loss to the extent of the portion representing the interests of other investors.
The amendments were published on 11 September 2014. At the date of these consolidated financial statements, approval of this amendment is deferred by the European Union.
As at the date of approval of these financial statements for publication, the Management Board does not expect the introduction of the other standards and interpretations to have a material impact on the Company 's accounting policies.
The Group has not opted for early application of any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been published but is not yet effective under European Union legislation.
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity are translated into the presentation currency at the FX rate prevailing on the transaction date.
On the balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities expressed in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity are translated into the functional currency using the mean FX rate prevailing for the presentation currency as at the end of the reporting period. FX differences from translation are recognised under finance income or finance costs or are capitalised as cost of assets, as defined in the accounting policies. Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at historical cost and denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are presented at the historical FX rate prevailing on the transaction date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at fair value and denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into PLN at the FX rate prevailing on the date of the fair value measurement.
The functional currencies of the foreign subsidiaries are EUR, SEK, DKK, NOK, GBP and CHF. As on the balance sheet date, the assets and liabilities of those subsidiaries are translated into the presentation currency of the Group (PLN) at th e rate of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date and their statements of profit and loss are translated using the average weighted exchange rates for the relevant reporting period. The FX differences on translation are recognised in other total comprehensive income and cumulated in a separate equity item. On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the deferred exchange differences recognised in equity and relating to that particular foreign operation shall be reclassified to profit or loss.
Exchange differences on loans treated in compliance with IAS 21 as investments in subsidiaries are recognised in the interim abbreviated consolidated financial statements in other total comprehensive income.

The Group's activities are not of seasonal nature. Therefore, the results presented by the Group do not change significantly during the year.

The paper production business includes the financial results of three paper mills, among others:
The pulp business is presented as the "Pulp" segment and includes, among other things, two pulp plants:
The Group identifies the following business segments:
The exclusions include the exclusions of turnover and settlements between segments and the results of operations of Arctic Paper S.A. and Arctic Paper Finance AB.
The split of operating segments into the uncoated, coated paper segments and pulp is due to the following factors:
Every month, on the basis of internal reports received from companies (apart from companies of the Rottneros Group), the results in each operating segment are analysed by the management of the Group. The financial results of companies in the Rottneros Groups are analysed on the basis of quarterly financial results published on the websites of Rottneros AB.
The operating results are measured primarily on the basis of EBITDA calculated by adding depreciation/amortisation and impairment allowances to property plant and equipment and intangible assets to operating profit/(loss), in each case in compliance with EU IFRS. In accordance with EU IFRS, EBITDA is not a metric of operating profit/(loss), operational results or liquidity. EBITDA is a metric that the Management Board uses to manage the operations.
Transactions between segments are concluded at arms' length like between unrelated parties.
The table below presents data concerning revenue and profit as well as certain assets and liabilities under continuing operations, split by segments of the Group for the period of 9 months ended on 30 September 2025 and as at 30 September 2025.

Dividend is paid based on the net profit disclosed in the separate annual financial statements of Arctic Paper S.A. after covering losses carried forward from last years.
In accordance with provisions of the Code of Commercial Partnerships and Companies, the parent company is obliged to establish supplementary capital to cover potential losses. At least 8% of the profit for the financial year disclosed in the separate financial statements of the Company should be transferred to the category of capital until the capital has reached the amount of at least one third of the share capital of the Parent Company. The use of supplementary capital and reserve funds is determined by the General Meeting; however, a part of supplementary capital equal to one third of the share capital can be used solely to cover the losses disclosed in the separate financial statements of the parent company and cannot be distributed to other purposes. As on the date hereof, the Company had no preferred shares.
The possibility of disbursement of potential dividend by the Company to its shareholders depends on the level of payments received from its subsidiaries. Risks relating to the Company 's ability to pay dividends are described in the Risk Factors section of the annual report for 2024.
In connection with the term and revolving loan agreements signed on 2 April 2021, the Company 's ability to pay dividends is subject to the Group meeting certain financial ratios in the period prior to payment (as that term is defined in the term and revolving credit facility agreement) and there being no event of default (as that term is defined in the term and revolving loan agreement).
