Atea's financial position was cash positive of NOK 975 million at the end of Q4 2025 as defined by Atea's debt covenants. Atea's debt covenants require that the Group maintains a maximum net interest bearing debt of 2.5x pro forma EBITDA over the last twelve months. Based on the calculation of the debt covenants, Atea's net interest-bearing debt is -0.5x pro forma EBITDA. Atea therefore maintains liquidity reserves of NOK 6,366 million before the debt covenant would be reached. See additional information on the liquidity reserve in Note 10 of this report.

In order to reduce the volatility of its working capital and debt balances throughout the year, Atea sells specified accounts receivable through a securitization program organized by its bank.

Cash flow from investments was an outflow of NOK 126 million in Q4 2025, compared with an outflow of NOK 143 million last year. All of this investment was capital expenditure.

Cash flow from financing activities was an outflow of NOK 1,222 million in Q4 2025, as Atea paid a semiannual dividend and reduced its utilization of credit facilities during a quarter of high operating cash flow.

Business Overview

Background

Atea is the leading provider of IT infrastructure and related services to organizations within the Nordic and Baltic regions. The company is the largest player by far in its local markets, with a market share of approximately 20%. About 70% of Atea's sales are to the public sector, with the remainder of sales to private companies.

Atea's current organizational structure is the result of the merger of the leading IT infrastructure companies in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Baltics in 2006 and 2007. This was followed by a further acquisition and consolidation of over 50 companies from 2007 - 2015.

Atea's market share in the Nordic and Baltic regions far exceeds that of other IT infrastructure providers. Today, the company has offices in 88 cities in the Nordic and Baltic regions and over 8,000 employees. This scale provides Atea with critical competitive advantages in purchasing, local market presence, breadth and depth of product offering, system integration competence, and efficient shared services and logistics functions.

The market for IT infrastructure in the Nordic and Baltic regions has grown steadily during the last several years. Atea's competence and leading market position in IT infrastructure has enabled the company to grow faster than the market.

To address the needs of the Nordic and Baltic markets, Atea works closely with leading international IT companies, such as Microsoft, Cisco, HP Inc., Hewlett Packard Enterprise, IBM, Apple, Lenovo, VMware, and Dell Technologies. These companies view the Nordic region as a critical market for the early adoption of new technologies and work closely with Atea to penetrate these markets. In recent years, Atea's cooperation with its technology partners has intensified. This enables Atea to stay at the forefront of the latest IT trends, and to offer its customers new and innovative IT solutions.

Digital Transformation

The market for information technology is in the midst of dramatic change, with profound effects on society known as the "digital transformation".

Across private enterprise and throughout the public sector, organizations are converting vast amounts of information into digital form. As information is made digital, it can be collected, processed, managed, and distributed with methods and at a scale which was previously impossible. This "digitization" enables public and private organizations to completely redefine how they provide goods and services, and how these goods and services are consumed and shared.

The resulting "digital transformation" is driving innovation in all sectors of the economy and all public services, including health, welfare, education, defense, policing and infrastructure management. Collectively, this can result in major improvements in productivity and living standards.

At the same time, the "digital transformation" places even greater demands on organizations' IT environments, as the amount of data which is being managed grows exponentially across a broadening range of devices. Furthermore, as digital information and processes become central to the definition of goods, services and of work itself, the capabilities and stability of the IT environment become essential for organizations to function. Consequently, the risk of security breaches becomes ever greater. All of this creates a level of complexity which IT departments struggle to support.

This presents a significant opportunity for Atea, as the leading provider of IT infrastructure and system integration in the Nordic and Baltic regions. Through its breadth of competency and depth of expertise, Atea helps its customers to design, implement and operate the IT infrastructure upon which they are dependent as their operations become increasingly digital.

"Digital Workplace" consists of all the devices and software through which users conduct work, access data and applications, and interact with each other. Examples include PCs, mobile phones and tablets, audio/video and conferencing solutions, smart displays, printers, and more.

"Hybrid Platforms" are the data center and network infrastructure through which organizations process, store, and distribute information. The category includes both on-premise infrastructure and cloud solutions, as well as "hybrid" solutions which integrate the two.

"Information management" consists of tools and methods through which organizations collect and administer data, and then derive value from this information. This includes Atea's practices within artificial intelligence, data protection, and automation technologies.

Atea's service portfolio:

Atea supports customers with the design, implementation and operation of their IT environments through a broad portfolio of services. The service portfolio can be broken into three categories: "Lifecycle Management", "Consulting", and "Managed Services".

"Lifecycle Management": Atea's service team assists customers in all aspects of managing their IT assets throughout the lifecycle of each product they acquire. This includes services to help customers deploy, install, finance, maintain, track and dispose of their IT assets.

"Consulting": Atea's consultants advise customers in the design and integration of their IT environments, the management of their information, and how specific IT solutions can best be used to fulfill their objectives.

"Managed services": Atea is a managed service provider which helps customers operate their IT environments either on-premise or from the cloud. Atea's managed services enable customers to dedicate less time and resources on IT operations and instead focus on their core objectives.

Sustainability

Atea's mission is to build the future with IT, together with its employees, its customers, and its vendors. The company's sustainability agenda is an essential part of the company's mission.

Atea was again recognized as one of the most sustainable corporations in the world, by Corporate Knights as part of their annual ranking called "Global 100". This was made public in Davos during the World Economic Forum on January 21st, 2026.

In Q4 2025, Atea has been recognized for the third year in a row for its leadership in corporate transparency and climate change performance by the global environmental non-profit CDP, earning a place on its prestigious annual 'A List'.

The company has received numerous other recognitions for its leadership within sustainability.

During the past year:

  • Atea achieved the highest rating in environmental and social performance by EcoVadis for the sixth consecutive year. This platinum-level ranking placed Atea among the top 1% of more than 150,000 companies evaluated globally
  • Atea was also recognized for being included in CDP's Supplier Engagement Assessment (SEA) A-list, which evaluates companies based on their performance in governance, target setting, Scope 3 emissions, and value chain engagement
  • Atea again earned a prestigious recognition as one of the "World's Most Sustainable Companies 2025" based on a ranking by global media brand TIME and Statista
  • Atea was named by the Financial Times and Statista as a "European Climate Leader", for its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transparent Scope 3 reporting
  • Atea published its first CSRD aligned Sustainability Statement as part of Annual Report. This report provides a holistic view of Atea's performance, encompassing both financial results and sustainability practices. For more information see atea.com/esg-overview/.

Business Outlook

Market trends

Atea's strong sales growth in 2025 has been driven by new frame agreements, an improved macroeconomic environment and by the following market factors:

Increased public spending on defense:

Atea is a major provider of IT solutions to the national security and defense sector.

Nordic and Baltic countries are greatly increasing public budgets for the defense sector. In addition, the Nordic countries are investing in IT to improve coordination of military command, control and operations across the Nordic region and within NATO. Both trends are driving high growth in spending on IT infrastructure by Atea's defense customers.

IT security / NIS 2 regulation:

IT security has become a top investment priority for organizations as threats of cyberattacks and data breaches continue to grow.

An additional driver of IT security investment is the EU Network and Information Systems 2 (NIS 2) Directive, which was adopted into local law by EU countries in 2024. The NIS 2 directive sets a new regulatory baseline of cybersecurity requirements to be implemented in public and private sector organizations which provide vital functions for society.

A large percentage of Atea's customers fall within the scope of the NIS 2 regulation and are required to register and confirm that they have implemented the cybersecurity measures of NIS 2. Noncompliance with the NIS 2 directive can result in heavy penalties against these organizations and directly against their management bodies.

Artificial Intelligence:

Organizations are rapidly adopting AI solutions to derive value from their information, to automate processes and to enhance productivity in daily work.

Much of the initial wave of AI adoption is from features embedded in new software and cloud applications. Organizations further in their AI adoption are developing solutions based on their own data and training AI agents to meet specific requirements.

The increasing use of AI has driven spending on a broad range of IT infrastructure and support services - including hardware, software, cloud subscriptions and services. AI-driven IT investment is expected to accelerate in the coming years and be a major driver of market growth.

Windows 10 end-of-life:

Microsoft officially ended support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. From this date, users are no longer receiving security updates, feature enhancements, and assisted support under their Microsoft's OS license agreements.

Within the European Economic Area, users can enroll to receive Extended Security Updates for Windows 10 without charge for one additional year, based on a program announced on September 25, 2025.

The end of Windows 10 support has led to a PC refresh cycle, as organizations migrate to Windows 11 by purchasing new PCs. When refreshing their PC hardware, many organizations are opting to future proof their purchases by upgrading to higher-end AI PCs.

Outlook

Atea expects demand for IT infrastructure to remain robust across all business lines in 2026. Atea's order backlog at the end of 2025 was significantly higher than last year. Although hardware unit growth is expected to slow in 2026 due to more challenging comparison periods, overall revenue growth will benefit from higher unit prices driven by industry‑wide supply constraints.

Global demand for memory components has surged in recent months, fueled by the rapid expansion of new AI data centers. This has resulted in component shortages, leading to higher unit prices and longer production lead times across key hardware categories, including PCs and data center equipment. Major hardware vendors have indicated that prices in several key product segments will increase by 20% or more during 2026.

Atea will adjust its pricing to reflect higher unit costs; however, the business impact of supply chain constraints remains difficult to forecast. Based on solid underlying demand and the strong order backlog, Atea expects year‑over‑year growth in gross sales and EBIT from its commercial operations in the first quarter and for the full year of 2026. In addition, Atea expects to recognize a gain of approximately EUR 13 million from the partial sale of AppXite during Q1 2026 (see Note 9). Guidance will be updated throughout the year as supply chain conditions become clearer. Component shortages are expected to affect both pricing and unit volumes for the remainder of 2026.

Atea is by far the market leader in the Nordic and Baltic regions and holds a unique competitive position as an IT infrastructure partner. The company maintains strong strategic partnerships with the largest global IT vendors and will work closely with partners and customers to mitigate supply challenges and secure timely deliveries. Atea's scale, strategic partnerships, and solid balance sheet provide stability and strengthen its competitive position during periods of market disruption.

Atea expects sales to maintain a solid growth rate over the coming years, supported by its competitive advantages in a growing market. At the same time, the company expects to increase operating profit through a combination of revenue growth, expansion into higher‑margin products and services, and tight control of operating expenses.

Note 1 - General information and accounting policies

General information and accounting policies

The condensed interim financial statements for the twelve months ending 31 December 2025 were approved for publication by the Board of Directors on 9 February 2026. These Group financial statements have not been subject to audit or review.

Atea ASA is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in Norway whose shares are listed on the Euronext Oslo Børs. Atea (the Group) consists of Atea ASA (the Company) and its subsidiaries. Atea is the leading provider of IT infrastructure and related services to organizations within the Nordic and Baltic regions.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS), IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". The condensed interim financial statements do not include all information and disclosures required in the annual financial statement and should be read in accordance with the Group's Annual Report for 2024, which has been prepared according to IFRS as adopted by EU.

In the interim financial statements for 2025, judgements, estimates and assumptions have been applied that may affect the use of accounting principles, book values of assets and liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual values may differ from these estimates. The major assumptions applied in the interim financial statements for 2025 and the major sources of uncertainty in the statements are similar to those found in the Annual accounts for 2024.

Prior period correction

The Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for 2024 and the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of 31 December 2024 have been restated due to the correction of accounting errors in Atea Denmark identified in prior years.

The errors relate to the incorrect periodization of accrued discounts to managed service customers (2014–2022) and misstatements in the accounting for customer claims and provisions associated with returned leased equipment (2020– 2024). These errors resulted in an overstatement of revenue and an understatement of liabilities in prior periods. The corrections have been made through retrospective restatement in accordance with IAS 8. The impact of the 2024-related errors has been recognized in the Q4 2024 comparative figures, while the impact of earlier periods has been adjusted through equity as of 1 January 2024.

Full year 2024 results are restated. See Note 1 of this report.

{17}------------------------------------------------

At the year end of 2025 the tax value of the tax loss carried forward within the Group was NOK 116 million from which NOK 105 million was recognized as Deferred Tax Assets on the balance sheet. Also, deferred tax asset changes in 2024, due to correction of tax loss carry forward figures.

Note 8 - Seasonality of operations

Seasonality of operations

Atea's revenue and cash flow are affected by the seasonality of demand for IT infrastructure investments.

Demand for IT infrastructure among Atea's customers peaks in the fourth quarter of the year, leading to higher revenue and cash flow for Atea in the fourth quarter.

Note 9 - Events after the balance sheet date

Events after the balance sheet date

Sale of majority shareholding in AppXite SIA

In December 2025, Atea announced an agreement to sell 51% of its shares in its Latvian subsidiary AppXite SIA on a fully-diluted basis to Aries Global for a price of up to EUR 10.7 million. The closing of the agreement is expected to take place in Q1 2026.

In January 2026, Atea entered an agreement to sell 2% of shares in AppXite SIA to its managing director Nicolas Albana. Furthermore, the company issued stock options to key employees which will result in the issuance of 6% of the total share capital in AppXite after a vesting period of two years.

Atea will retain 41% of shares in AppXite on a fully diluted basis, following the execution of the share sale and option agreements.

The expected gain from the transaction to be recognized at closing is approximately EUR 13 million, of which EUR 7 million is from the sale of shares. The remaining EUR 6 million gain is based on the revaluation of Atea's residual shareholding in AppXite from book value to fair value, as the entity transitions from being reported as a fully-owned subsidiary to an associate in accordance with IFRS 10.

In addition to the gain to be recognized upon closing, there is an additional potential gain of up to EUR 2.6 million in future periods due to earnout provisions in the Aries Global agreement.

As the partial sale of AppXite is part of Atea's operating strategy within its software business, the resulting gain will be recognized as "Other Income" in the Group Financial statements during 2026.

Proposed dividend in 2026

On February 9, 2026, the Board of Atea ASA resolved to propose a dividend of NOK 7.50 per share at the next Annual General Meeting to be held on April 28, 2026. The dividend will be split into two equal payments of NOK 3.75 which will take place in May and November 2026.

For Norwegian tax purposes, the dividend shall be considered as repayment of paid in capital. Further details on the dividend will be provided in the Notice to the Annual General Meeting.

There were no other significant events after the balance sheet date which could affect the evaluation of the reported accounts.

Note 10 - Alternative performance measures

Alternative performance measures

The financial information is prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by EU. Additionally, it is management's intent to provide alternative performance measures that are regularly reviewed by management to enhance the understanding of Atea's performance. As defined in ESMAs guidelines on alternative performance measures (APM), an APM is defined as a financial

measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows, other than a financial measure defined or specified in the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by EU.

Atea uses the following APMs:

Gross sales and revenue

As stated in Note 2 in the Annual report for 2022, Atea has implemented a change to its accounting policy to comply with new guidance from the IFRS interpretations committee. In its financial reporting through 2021, Atea has recognized revenue from the resale of standard software and vendor services on a gross basis (with gross invoiced sales reported as revenue, and costs of the resold products reported as cost of goods).

Under the new guidance, Atea will recognize revenue from these products and services on a net basis (with gross invoiced sales, less costs of the resold products reported as revenue).

The bridge from gross sales to revenue is provided below. Further information about historical figures can be found at www.atea.com/accounting-policy-change-2022. The change in accounting policy only affects revenue and cost of sales, and has no impact on gross profit, operating profit, net profit after tax, balance sheet and cash flow statement.

Net financial position

Net financial position consists of both current and non-current interest-bearing liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents.

Net financial position is one of the key metrics used in Atea to assess both the cash position and its indebtedness. It is also used in Atea's covenants on debt agreements.

Net financial position does not include incremental net lease liabilities due to the adoption of IFRS 16 from 1 January 2019. IFRS 16 requires lessees to recognize most lease contracts on their balance sheet, including subleases and lease liabilities for Right-of-Use (ROU) assets (such as facility rental contracts). Atea's financial covenants specifically exclude incremental net lease liabilities due to the adoption of IFRS 16 from the definition of net financial position.

Liquidity reserve

Liquidity reserve is a metric used to assess maximum additional borrowing that is allowed by Atea's debt covenants as of the balance sheet date. Liquidity reserve does not show committed loans reserve.

Liquidity reserve is calculated as the difference between Atea's net debt limit according to its debt covenants and Atea's net debt on the balance sheet date.

Atea's debt covenants require that Atea limit its net debt on a Group level to 2.5x pro forma EBITDA for the last 12 months.

Net working capital

Net working capital is defined as non-interest-bearing current assets net of cash and cash equivalents less non-interest-bearing current liabilities. The net working capital balance impacts how much funding is needed for business operations. Net working capital is positively affected by the securitization program, see Note 6 for more details.

Change in definition of Net working Capital

Starting from Q3 2025, the Group's definition of Net working capital excludes Dividend payable that previously has been included in Other current liabilities. Dividend payable is now disclosed separately in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

This adjustment aligns the Net working capital calculation in our Alternative performance measures with the presentation in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow, where changes in Dividends payable are reported within cash flows from financing activities.

For comparability, the prior period of Net working capital figures has been restated using the new definition.

Adjusted equity ratio

Atea's adjusted equity ratio is defined as its equity as a percentage of its adjusted total assets. Atea's adjusted total assets are calculated by deducting incremental lease assets due to the adoption of IFRS 16 (such as right-of-use assets and sublease receivables) from the total asset balance.

In accordance with Atea's risk management guidelines, Atea's adjusted equity ratio should be above 20%.
