After the fourth quarter Boreo announced on 10 February 2026 that Tuomas Kahri starts as a CEO of Boreo on 1 April 2026. Also, On 10 February 2026 Boreo announced that the company had decided not to appoint a separate Chief Financial Officer for the time being, but to divide the responsibilities of the finance function between two individuals as an interim arrangement. In accordance with this arrangement, the company appointed Rafael Osmanov on an interim basis to the position of Head of M&A and Financing as of 10 February 2026. In addition, Sami Hanerva, Vice President Finance, will be responsible for the company's financial reporting. During transition period, both individuals report to Boreo's CEO.
The Board of Directors' dividend distribution proposal
The distributable assets of the parent company Boreo Plc on December 31, 2025, were EUR 28.2 million, of which the profit for 2025 is EUR 3.7 million. Boreo's aim is to pay an annually increasing dividend per share, considering capital allocation priorities. In the short term, however, the company's objective is to strengthen its financial position and thus ensure the implementation of its growth strategy also going forward. As a result, the Board of Directors of the company proposes to the Annual General Meeting that no dividend will be paid for the financial year that ended on December 31, 2025.

Q4/2025 –CEO Kari Nerg:
Operational EBIT increased significantly
The final quarter of 2025 was successful for the company. Net sales increased by 18%, which supported a clear 33% improvement in operational EBIT. Net sales grew for the fifth consecutive quarter. For the full year 2025, net sales increased by 14% and operational EBIT by 17%. The strong performance in the fourth quarter was driven in particular by clearly stronger year-on-year development in the Technical Trade business area, while the Electronics business area declined from the exceptionally strong comparison quarter of the previous year.
In addition to strong earnings growth, we succeeded in managing working capital toward the end of the year. As a result of the reduction in working capital, cash conversion was strong at 176%. The company's financial position strengthened, and net debt relative to the last twelve months' operational EBITDA decreased to 2.1.
Order books continued to strengthen
The order books of our companies strengthened compared to the previous quarter and are clearly above the levels seen at the beginning of 2025. Although economic conditions, especially in Finland and the Baltic countries, are expected to remain modest in 2026, we see a solid foundation for earnings improvement.
Due to a higher-than-normal weighting of the order book toward the latter part of the year 2026 and ERP renewal projects concentrated in the early part of the year, we expect the company's earnings capacity to improve toward the end of the year. The short-term demand outlook for our companies serving industrial customers is reasonable, and in particular the strong development of the defense industry further supports the growth of Milcon, which has strengthened its position in the defense sector. Investment appetite among customers in the Finnish metal industry also picked up in the second half of the year, supporting the performance of our companies operating in the sector. The outlook for companies operating in the construction industry remains subdued, although operations in Sweden and Estonia grew significantly in 2025.
Focus on growth organically and through acquisitions
In 2026 we will focus on developing our existing companies and continue to identify acquisition targets that meet our ownership criteria. The four ongoing ERP renewal projects are progressing as planned. These projects will increase costs during the first half of 2026, but will improve efficiency and reduce fixed costs in the coming years.
The year 2025 will be remembered as the year in which we returned the company to a growth path. Operational EBIT growth of more than 15% in challenging conditions, and considering the investments made in future growth, is a strong performance. I would like to thank the entire organization for this achievement. I would also like to extend my thanks to all personnel and the company's partners for the past years. This will be my final interim report as the company's CEO, and I am grateful for the opportunity I have had to work in the company's management. I wish the company, its renewing management team and its partners success in the future. The company is well positioned to move into the next strategy period, aiming for significant growth.

Group net sales, quarterly and R12

In the fourth quarter, the Group's net sales were geographically distributed as follows: Net sales in Finland increased by 10% to EUR 32.5 million. The growth was driven in particular by increased net sales of Tornokone, Machinery and Machinery MT compared to the comparison period, as well as the YE RS acquisition. Net sales of the Swedish operations increased by 40% to EUR 7.3 million, mainly due to a strong quarter for PM Nordic compared to the comparison period. Net sales of the Baltic operations increased by 82% to EUR 5.8 million, with a significant share of the growth being inorganic as a result of the Spetselektroodi and YE RS acquisitions. Net sales to Other regions mainly consist of SSN's operations in the United States.

Reported EBIT included items affecting comparability totaling EUR 0.6 million in net, consisting mainly of items related to corporate transactions and other purchase price allocations.

Business Areas
Boreo's operations are organized into two business areas: Electronics and Technical Trade. The structure of the various businesses within these areas is described in more detail in the 2024 Annual Report.
Since the publication of the 2024 Annual Report, Boreo has completed two acquisitions. On 8 May 2025, Boreo announced the completion of the acquisition of Spetselektroodi AS, a distributor of welding products in Estonia. The company is reported as part of the Technical Trade business area. On 1 August 2025, Boreo announced the completion of the acquisition of Elfa Distrelec's sales operations in Finland, Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania from RS Group plc. These operations are reported as part of the Electronics business area.
'Group Functions' includes the corporate functions of the parent company Boreo.
Electronics business area
The business area's operational EBIT for the fourth quarter declined to EUR 1.0 million (2024: EUR 1.7 million), and the operational EBIT margin decreased from 8.5% to 5.8%. At the same time, net sales decreased by 13% compared to the comparison period. The decline in net sales was mainly driven by lower sales at SSN compared to the comparison period. The rolling twelve-month operational EBIT amounted to EUR 3.9 million (2024: EUR 4.3 million), and the operational EBIT margin decreased from 7.3% to 6.4%. Over the same period, net sales increased by 5.9% compared to the comparison period.
The result of the business area was supported in particular by SSN's good performance although it remained below the level of the comparison period. Milcon's fourth quarter was in line with expectations, and the company's strong earnings capacity is expected to continue supported by the robust development of the defense industry. YE RS's result fell short of expectations in the final quarter. Uncertainty in the electronics components market has continued, and customers are postponing investment decisions, which is negatively reflected in the demand environment for distribution companies. In the health technology company Delfin, the renewal of the product platform and the global distribution network, as well as the development of selected strategic paths, continued. The company continues to grow at a moderate pace, but the above-mentioned investments are reflected in higher operational costs.
The business area's gross margin improved significantly compared to the previous year, driven by changes in the sales mix.
Working capital management was successful in the fourth quarter, but due to weaker rolling earnings, return on trade working capital declined from 52% in the comparison period to 44%.
The short-term outlook for the business area is overall stable, although uncertainties in the operating environment persist. Order books increased compared to the previous quarter and are at a higher level than a year earlier. Implemented efficiency measures continue to support profitability in the coming quarters. Market developments are monitored closely to enable a rapid response to potential changes.

Technical Trade business area
The operational EBIT of the Technical Trade business area improved significantly in the fourth quarter to EUR 2.2 million (2024: 0.9), with the operational EBIT margin increasing from 4.5% to 7.4%. Net sales increased by 49% in the final quarter compared to the comparison period. For the full year 2025, operational EBIT amounted to EUR 6.0 million (2024: EUR 4.5 million), with the operational EBIT margin increasing from 5.9% to 6.6%. Net sales increased by 21% compared to the comparison year.
The strong performance of the business area toward the end of the year was driven in particular by Machinery and Machinery MT, as well as the Putzmeister businesses. Companies serving the process and mechanical engineering industries performed well, and profitability improved progressively toward the end of the year.
The business area's gross margin was slightly lower than in the previous year due to changes in the sales mix. Fixed costs in the business area increased slightly due to the acquisition of Spetselektroodi AS, as well as personnel recruitments and increased marketing investments.
Return on trade working capital (R12) in the business area increased compared to the previous year, amounting to 30% (2024: 24%). The amount of working capital tied up in operations remained at the level of the previous quarter, despite strong sales toward the end of the year.
The short-term outlook for the business area is overall reasonable, and the companies' order books have continued to grow from the level at the end of the previous quarter. Growth has been particularly strong in the Putzmeister businesses, Machinery and Machinery MT. Due to uncertainties in the operating environment, market developments are monitored closely and the companies are prepared to respond to changes if needed.

Alternative Performance Measures
The guidelines of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) defines alternative performance measures 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 applicable financial reporting framework. For Boreo, the IFRS standards as adopted in the EU in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 form the reporting framework.
Boreo provides certain financial indicators that are not based on IFRS (alternative performance measures). Alternative performance measures are intended to describe the financial development of the business and improve comparability between reporting periods. Alternative performance measures should not be considered as a substitute for key figures in accordance with IFRS accounting principles.
Formulas for calculating key indicators
| Items affecting comparability | Non-recurring restructuring costs, acquisition and integration costs, = capital gains/losses and -/+ purchase price allocation items |
|---|---|
| Operational EBIT | = EBIT -/+ items affecting comparability |
| Operational EBITDA | = Operational EBIT + depreciation, amortization and impairment |
| Interest-bearing net debt | |
| Interest-bearing net debt relative to operational EBITDA |
Operational EBITDA of the previous 12 months (including acquired = businesses as if they had been held for 12 months at the reporting date) |
| Equity + total non-controlling interests | |
| Equity ratio,% | = x 100 Balance sheet total - advances received |
| Interest-bearing net debt | Interest-bearing liabilities - interest-bearing receivables - cash and = cash equivalents |
| Profit for the review period to shareholders – the interest rate on the hybrid loan recorded in equity minus the tax effect |
|
| Earnings per share (EPS) | = Average number of outstanding shares |
| Return on capital employed (ROCE %) |
Operational EBIT for the previous 12 months Average balance sheet total for the previous 12 months - non = interest-bearing liabilities for the previous 12 months |
| Return on capital employed (ROCE %), excluding cash equivalents |
Operational EBIT for the previous 12 months Average balance sheet total for the previous 12 months - average = non-interest-bearing liabilities for the previous 12 months - average cash equivalents for the previous 12 months |
| Return on trade working capital (ROTWC %) |
Operational EBIT for the previous 12 months Average working capital for the previous 12 months (inventories + trade = receivables – trade payables – advance payments received) |
| Return on equity (ROE %) | Result for the review period for the previous 12 months = Average equity for the previous 12 months |
| Cash conversion, % | Net cash flow from operating activities + interest paid – investments in intangible and tangible assets = EBIT + depreciation and impairment – effect of fixed asset depreciation (IFRS 16) |
