CEO comments

Good organic growth, improved profitability and strong cash flow

We have just completed a strong quarter with a good organic growth of 5 per cent, continued improvement in EBITA margin and strong operating cash flow. Sales increased by 8 per cent and EBITA by 11 per cent, excluding currency effects. The EBITA margin was record high for a third quarter and amounted to 11.7 per cent, a result of continued focus on our strategic initiatives.

Business performance

Total sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 9,726 million, an increase of 2 per cent compared to the previous year, of which 5 per cent was organic growth, with all operating segments reporting stable growth. The product segments had stable organic growth in the quarter: HVAC grew by 6 per cent, while OEM and Commercial and industrial refrigeration grew by 4 per cent respectively.

Our green OEM companies, Fenagy and SCM Frigo, continued to show strong positive development and contributed to the growth in sustainable solutions. SCM Frigo secured another CO₂ project in North America.

During the quarter, the Group's EBITA amounted to SEK 1,133 million, corresponding to an increase of 5 per cent. The EBITA margin amounted to 11.7 per cent compared with 11.4 per cent in the corresponding period last year. Our positive EBITA margin development is a result of continued focus on our strategic initiatives.

Operating cash flow continues to develop well. In the quarter, we reported a strong operating cash flow of SEK 1,617 million (1,231), driven by a continued improvement in tied-up working capital compared with the corresponding period last year. The cash flow together with our strong financial position supports our continued strategic investments to drive profitable growth.

Furthermore, we strengthened our financial flexibility during the quarter by establishing a SEK 7 billion MTN program and successfully issuing a SEK 1.5 billion bond. The issue attracted strong investor interest and represents a strategic step towards broadening our funding base for continued long-term value creation through acquisitions.

As part of our long-term sustainability work, Beijer Ref joined the UN Global Compact during the quarter and supports its ten principles for responsible business.

Strategic acquisitions

After the end of the reporting period, the Group has signed an agreement to acquire Airwave, a market-leading HVAC distributor in the Baltics. Airwave offers solutions for both residential and commercial properties. With steady

growth in all segments over the past five years and annual sales of approximately SEK 600 million, the acquisition is in line with our strategy to strengthen market presence and benefit from synergies and knowledge sharing within Beijer Ref.

The acquisition pipeline is accelerating, and we expect good activity for the rest of the year and into 2026.

Launching strategic consolidation program

Beijer Ref will in the fourth quarter of 2025 launch a strategic consolidation program to accelerate efficiency and improve customer service levels in selected markets. The aim of the program is to consolidate warehousing and back-office structures established through many years of acquisitions. The program is expected to generate annual cost savings of approximately SEK 100 million and is expected to reach full effect during the end of the first half of 2026. The one-off related costs are projected to amount to approximately SEK 150 million and will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Concluding remarks

In summary, we concluded a strong quarter where the result reflects the strength of our business model and the consistent implementation of our strategy. A heartfelt thank you to all employees who contribute every day to Beijer Ref's success.

Jonas Steen COO EMEA

Sales and market

During the quarter, the EMEA operating segment reported a total sales increase of 11 per cent year-on-year, excluding currency effects. The organic sales growth was driven by stable growth in the larger regions in West Europe, continued strong development in our green OEM companies, Fenagy and SCM Frigo, as well as strong demand and growth in the Africa and UK regions.

Product segment performance

The HVAC product segment continued its double-digit sales development and reported a sales growth of 18 per cent, excluding currency effects, driven by solid growth in both our own brands and acquisitions.

The OEM segment had a sales increase of 7 per cent, excluding currency effects. This was driven by continued good sales growth in our green OEM companies, Fenagy and SCM Frigo, which continue to expand geographically. It is noteworthy that SCM Frigo secured another CO₂ project in the US during the quarter. The OEM segment was negatively impacted by lower market activity in our offshore business.

Profitability and margins

In the quarter, EBITA increased by 11 per cent year-onyear, excluding currency effects. Reported EBITA amounted to SEK 711 million (659) with a stable EBITA margin of 12.0 per cent (12.0).

Activities

During the quarter, we extended our partnership agreement with Danfoss. Together we aim to actively drive the market towards more sustainable cooling solutions with lower climate impact (low GWP).

Fenagy continues to expand into new markets and have secured orders in countries such as Germany, Sweden and Poland.

After the end of the quarter, we signed an agreement to acquire Airwave, a market-leading HVAC distributor in the Baltics, offering solutions for both residential and commercial properties. With annual sales of approximately SEK 600 million, the acquisition is in line with our strategy to strengthen our market presence.

Wayne Ferguson COO APAC

Sales and market

During the quarter, the APAC operating segment reported a sales increase of 3 per cent year-on-year, excluding currency effects. The organic sales growth remained negatively impacted by lower market activity for larger projects.

Product segment performance

The HVAC product segment continued to grow during the quarter, sustained by its private-label products and targeted initiatives. The OEM segment is currently experiencing slower activity due to the absence of larger projects in the APAC region. However, we noted a strong increase in the quoting activities in the same segment.

Profitability and margins

In the quarter, EBITA increased by 18 per cent year-onyear, excluding currency effects. Reported EBITA amounted to SEK 137 million (131) with an EBITA margin of 9.4 per cent (8.3). The EBITA margin development

remained strong, driven by favourable product mix and ongoing focus on accessories and comprehensive HVAC solutions.

Activities

In the third quarter, our operations in China delivered their first locally designed and manufactured TCO₂ project for a major retail chain with commissioning by the local team scheduled for the fourth quarter. TCO₂ projects play an important role in lowering both direct and indirect carbon emissions, contributing to a more sustainable and futureresilient industry.

During the period, our operations in New Zealand commissioned a refrigerant decanting facility marking an important step towards achieving a sustainable refrigerant model.

Alex Averitt Managing Director North America

Sales and market

During the quarter, the North America operating segment reported a sales increase of 6 per cent year-on-year, excluding currency effects. The organic sales growth was driven by continued execution of our strategic initiatives and their positive effect on our market position as well as the regulatory transition to lower GWP refrigerants. The transition is now largely complete, and our inventory position has enabled us to meet customer demand as they transition to A2L refrigerants.

Product segment performance

The establishment of our new branches continues to develop well, with good sales results and market share gains during the quarter. We also saw steady progress in our commercial refrigeration and parts strategies, supported by disciplined execution across our North American operations.

Profitability and margins

In the quarter, EBITA increased by 9 per cent year-on-year, excluding currency effects. Reported EBITA amounted to SEK 333 million (332) with an EBITA margin of 14.1 per cent (13.7). Our improved EBITA and EBITA margin demonstrates the impact of our strategic priorities.

Activities

Our recently launched own brand continued to perform well during the quarter, supported by increased sales and strengthened market presence.

We expect an active fourth quarter in terms of acquisitions, with intensified discussions and a strong pipeline that continues to support the Group's growth.

Important events during the quarter

During the quarter, we strengthened our financial flexibility by establishing a SEK 7 billion MTN program and issuing a SEK 1.5 billion bond.

Important events after the end of the period

After the end of the quarter, we signed an agreement to acquire Airwave, a market-leading HVAC distributor in the Baltics that offers solutions for both residential and commercial properties, with an annual turnover of approximately SEK 600 million.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, Beijer Ref will launch a strategic consolidation program to increase efficiency and improve customer service levels in selected markets. The program is expected to generate annual cost savings of approximately SEK 100 million and is expected to reach full effect by the end of the first half of 2026. The related one-off costs are estimated to amount to approximately SEK 150 million and will be reported in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Sustainability

Sustainability is a well integrated part of Beijer Ref. Doing business based on sound standards is a responsibility that the Group takes very seriously. Since August 2025, Beijer Ref is a member of the UN Global Compact, committed to its ten principles covering human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption. These principles are embedded in our corporate strategy, culture and daily operations. The company's sustainability strategy is aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda, focusing on the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development.

Beijer Ref focuses on the area where the Group has the opportunity to make the greatest positive impact, which is the environment. To strengthen the work of developing more environmentally friendly cooling and heating technology, the Group measures the proportion of OEM sales that are classified as environmentally friendly. The goal is to reach at least 50 per cent of total OEM sales by 2025. At the end of the third quarter of 2025, Beijer Ref had reached a share of 60 per cent.

Risk description

Beijer Ref is an international Group with a wide geographical spread, which means that it is exposed to various forms of strategic, operational and financial risks. Strategic risks refer to changes in the business environment with potentially significant effects on the Group's operations and business objectives. Operational risks are risks directly attributable to business activities with a potential impact on the Group's results and financial position. Financial risks consist mainly of financing risk, currency risk, interest rate risk and credit risk.

Risk-taking as such provides opportunities for continued financial growth, but of course also risks having a negative impact on the business and its objectives.

It is therefore of great importance to have a systematic and effective risk assessment process and a well-functioning risk management system in general.

Risk management within Beijer Ref is not aimed at avoiding risks but at identifying, managing and reducing the effects of these risks in a controlled manner. This work is based on an assessment of the probability and potential effect of the risks for the Group. Acquisitions are normally associated with risks, such as the loss of key personnel. Other business risks, such as agency and supplier agreements, product liability and delivery commitments, technological development, warranties, personal dependence, etc. are analyzed continuously. The parent company's risk profile is the same as that of the Group. A more detailed description of these risks and risk management can be found in the Group's annual report.

Accounting principles

Beijer Ref applies IFRS Accounting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. The same accounting and valuation principles as in the latest annual report have been applied. No new or amended standards with a material impact on the Group's financial statements have been applied for the first time in 2025.

The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2. Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34.16A are provided not only in the financial statements and related notes but also in other parts of the interim report.

All comparative figures for income statement and cash flow measures refer to the corresponding period of the previous year, unless otherwise stated. Comparative figures for the balance sheet refer to the latest year-end, unless otherwise stated.

Totals in tables and calculations do not always add up due to rounding differences. The aim is for each sub-line to correspond to its original source and therefore rounding differences may occur.

Other transactions

Transactions with related parties

There have been no significant changes for the Group or for the Parent Company regarding transactions or relationships with related parties, compared to what was described in note 30 of the 2024 Annual Report.

Significant estimates and assumptions for accounting purposes

Management and the Board of Directors make estimates and assumptions about the future. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and other disclosures. These assessments are based on historical experience and the various assumptions that are considered reasonable under the circumstances. The areas identified as significant have not changed since the publication of the 2024 Annual Report and are described in more detail in note 4.

Auditors review report

Beijer Ref AB (publ), org nr 556040-8113

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim report for Beijer Ref AB (publ), corp. reg. no. 556040-8113, 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.

Key figures

Beijer Ref uses a number of alternative performance measures. The Group believes that the key figures are useful to users of the financial statements as a complement to the profit and loss account, balance sheet and cash flow statement. Examples of alternative key figures linked to financial position: return on equity and operating capital, net debt, debt to equity ratio and equity/assets ratio. The Group also uses the cash flow measurement of operating cash flow to give an indication of the funds that the business generates be able to carry out strategic investments, make amortisations and provide returns to shareholders. The performance measurements EBITDA, EBITA and EBIT are measurements that Beijer Ref considers relevant for investors who wish to understand the business's profit generation.

Company acquisitions

The company makes a materiality assessment for each acquisition based on sales, product area and market. Our assessment is that an acquisition is material if the acquired company's sales exceed 5 per cent of the Group's total sales. During the year, three acquisitions were consolidated in the Group's accounts. Information about these acquisitions is provided in the table on page 19.

2025

First quarter

During the quarter, Beijer Ref completed the acquisition of 80 per cent of the shares in Cool4U, with a put/call option to acquire the remaining share. Cool4U is a leading HVAC distributor in Hungary, providing solutions for both residential and commercial projects. The company has annual sales of approximately SEK 500 million with good profitability.

In Australia, the acquisition of Atomic Refrigerants, which holds an import license and quota with future rights linked to HFC refrigerants, was completed during the quarter. The acquisition strengthens security of supply and reduces the risk associated with the availability of refrigerants in the long term.

Second quarter

During the quarter, Beijer Ref acquired all assets in Central Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning in Singapore, which specializes in refrigeration equipment and spare parts.

2024

First quarter

Beijer Ref acquired 60 per cent of the shares in Quality Air Equipment (QAE), with a put/call option to acquire the remaining share.

During the first quarter, Beijer Ref also acquired 70 per cent of the shares in Chillaire Solutions, with a put/call option to acquire the remaining share.

Second quarter

Beijer Ref acquired Young Supply, a North American distributor in commercial refrigeration and HVAC. Further, Beijer Ref acquired 60 per cent of the shares of Luyten BV, with a put/call option to acquire the remaining shares. Beijer Ref also signed an agreement to acquire 80 per cent of the shares in Cool4U, with a put/call option to acquire the remaining shares. Cool4U is a leading HVAC distributor in Hungary.

Third quarter

During the third quarter, Beijer Ref acquired 75 per cent of the shares in GIA Group, with a put/call option to acquire the remaining share. GIA Group is an air conditioning company and one of Spain's largest distributors with several strong brands of its own. Sales during the closed financial year 2023 amounted to SEK 1.1 billion with good profitability.

Accounting for acquisitions

Identified customer relationships are amortized over 10-15 years while trademarks are considered to have an indefinite life and are not amortized. Most of the acquisition goodwill arising is motivated by synergies with the Group's existing businesses. The valuation technique applied to put/call options and contingent considerations discounts the present value of expected future cash flows using a risk-adjusted discount rate. Expected cash flows are determined based on likely scenarios for future performance measures, the amounts that will be paid in each outcome and the probability of each outcome. Put/call options and contingent considerations are recognized at valuation level 3.

In 2025, an acquisition has been completed where the final purchase price will be paid via options in 2028. The options have been valued at the probable outcome and recognized as a long-term liability, the liability totals SEK 272 million. Acquisitions that include a put/call option where ownership will amount to 100 per cent are consolidated in full at the time of acquisition.

Acquisition costs for acquisitions completed in 2025 and charged to profit 2025 amount to approximately SEK 2 million (17) and are included in other expenses. Acquisition costs and acquisition calculations are preliminary for acquisitions in 2025. Acquisition calculations for the companies acquired during the first nine months of 2024 have now been finalized. No material adjustments have been made to the calculations.

This is Beijer Ref

The Beijer Ref Group is focused on trade and distributor activities within refrigeration products, air conditioning and heat pumps. The product range mainly consists of products from leading international manufacturers and in addition some manufacturing of our own products combined with service and support for the products. The Group creates added value by adding technical expertise to the products, providing knowledge and experience about the market and providing efficient logistics and warehousing.

Beijer Ref supplies customers across large parts of the world with a wide range of products. Through its more than 150 subsidiaries in Europe, North America, Africa and Asia and Oceania, the company manages sales, purchasing, logistics, and distribution. A portion of sales comes from our own manufacturing.

The business is divided into three operating segments: EMEA, APAC and North America. Growth occurs both organically and through the acquisition of companies that complement current operations.

Seasonal effects

Beijer Ref's sales are seasonally dependent as demand for refrigeration and air conditioning is at its peak during the warm months of the year. It means that demand in the northern hemisphere is at its peak during the second and third quarters whilst demand in the southern hemisphere is at its peak during the first and fourth quarters.
