Comments from the President and CEO

Improved operating cash flow through disciplined work

The fourth quarter was a challenging market environment, with currency headwinds from a weakening US dollar and lower instrument sales in India due to the transition to license manufacturing. Sales amounted to SEK 120 million, corresponding to an organic decline of 11.7%. Although the sales result reflects these external factors, I am pleased with the progress we have made in profitability and operational improvements.

Gross margin improved in the quarter to 48.1%, up from 44.6% last year, as a result of favourable product mix with higher sales of reagents and licenses. We decreased operating spend by 36%, and we delivered a positive operating profit of SEK 12.9 million. Operating cash flow improved to 5.5 MSEK, despite major challenges with currency developments and accounts receivables. This is a result of our clear focus on cost optimization.

Diagnostics operations continue to develop

The Diagnostics segment's sales of instrument units amounted to 669 units, which is lower than last year as a result of the transition to license manufacturing in India and lower sales of 5-part instruments in the quarter. Sales of consumables own instruments amounted to SEK 48.7 million, 7% lower than last year. In the quarter, we achieved great commercial success by being selected as the preferred supplier of hematology instruments in a national hematology procurement in Italy. This will strengthen our position in this important European market. In 2026, we plan to launch our new veterinary hematology instrument, and preparations are ongoing. At the same time, we are driving the work of validating and making decisions about the next generation of hematology instruments for the human market.

OEM business is growing and projects are increasing

The OEM segment (CDS) reported SEK 31.6 million in sales, a decrease of 15% year-on-year, which was mainly due to currency effects from a weaker US dollar. Some of the OEM projects we are working on are nearing commercialization and we have recently renewed and extended one of our supply agreements with a leading IVD company, which is expected to increase annual sales by approximately SEK 5 million when fully implemented, which is a clear sign of the growth potential in this segment. Our project to launch new generic 5-part blood controls in 2027 is progressing according to plan.

Continuous improvement activities

During the quarter, we completed the consolidation of our facilities in Sweden and inaugurated our new headquarters, designed for efficiency and collaboration. In connection with the move, we have completed a new instrument manufacturing line, which enables future scalability and increased efficiency.

Although the divestment reflects a difficult market, our focus on operational and strategic execution has never been stronger. These successes give us confidence as we head into 2026 with upcoming launches.

New CFO in place

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to extend my sincere thanks to Holger Lembrér for his valuable contributions to Boule over the past years, and at the same time welcome Michael af Winklerfelt as our new CFO, who will take office as of today.

Thank you for your continued trust and support.

Torben Nielsen, President and CEO

Group development October-December 2025

Net sales

Net sales for the period amounted to SEK 120.2 million (143.2), corresponding to a decrease of 16.0. The currency effect had a negative impact on net sales of -4.3 percent. Organic growth amounted to -11.7 percent, mainly due to lower instrument sales. The decline in instrument sales is mainly explained by the shift to licensed manufacturing in India. The increase in other net sales can be attributed to revenues from our distribution cooperation in the US with VitalScientific. Sales of consumables OEM and CDS Brand decreased by 19 percent, mainly due to currency.

Gross profit

Gross profit for the period amounted to SEK 57.8 million (63.8) and the gross margin was 48.1 percent (44.6). A favourable product mix with a higher share of sales of consumables improved the gross margin in the quarter. Furthermore, the gross margin was positively impacted by efficiency improvements in production.

Expenses

Total operating expenses amounted to SEK 44.9 million (44.4), which was slightly higher than last year's operating expenses adjusted for non-recurring costs of SEK 105.2 million related to restructuring and write-down of development projects.

The revaluation of the impairment of assets in Russia was SEK -2.1 million (-7.3) in the quarter. As operations in Russia continue to be conducted until the divestment, the impairment will be adjusted on an ongoing basis so that the Group's book value of the assets in Russia will be zero.

Sales costs amounted to SEK 26.0 million (29.7), which was 12.5 percent lower than last year's sales costs adjusted for non-recurring costs of SEK 1.2 million. The reduction in sales costs is attributable to the restructuring of the sales organization.

{3}------------------------------------------------

R&D costs, including costs for the quality organization, amounted to SEK 12.3 million (7.4), which was higher than last year's costs adjusted for non-recurring costs of SEK 96.6 million.

Net of other operating income and other operating expenses amounted to SEK 1.2 million (-1.0).

During the previous year and in the first quarter of 2025, the Group implemented cost reductions that will have full effect during the year and improve cash flow from operating activities and significantly reduce investments. The Group is expected to have a continued positive operating cash flow and can thus finance the established business plan with the liquidity that exists together with cash flows generated in the business.

Significant risks and uncertainties

Boule's operations are global, which entails exposure to various forms of both strategic risks, operational risks and financial risks. Strategic risks mainly represent changes in the company's environment that can therefore have a significant impact on the business, for example, the ongoing unrest in the Middle East can affect sales in the region. The changing policy in the US may increase the uncertainty for international business relationships, however, the impact on Boule's business is mainly assessed to be an increasing currency risk in USD. Operational risks relate to the business as such and may have a potential impact on the Group's earnings. The financial risks consist primarily of financing risk, currency risk, interest rate risk and credit risk.

Boule works continuously to manage the risks and uncertainties that exist, as well as with the Risk Inventory that forms the basis for discovering new risks and uncertainties. The work is carried out systematically with the aim of making risks visible and limiting risk exposure and any impact if a risk arises.

For a more detailed description, see the section Risks and opportunities on page 32 of the Annual Report for 2024.

Uncertainties due to the war in Ukraine

Boule continues to operate in Russia. Immediately after Russia's attack on Ukraine in the spring of 2022, Boule introduced processes to ensure that all sales and transactions comply with all sanctions. Boule continuously uses legal expertise to ensure that knowledge is available about sanctions and their interpretations. Healthcare products are not normally subject to sanctions. Boule does not make any new ventures but maintains entered business.

However, purchasing, transport and financial transactions are limited by various practical problems, which is why Boule uses parties in third countries to be able to conduct its business. All these transactions are aligned with legal expertise to ensure that Boule in no way violates sanctions. The sanctions are being changed continuously, which is why this is an ongoing work.

For the full year 2025, Boule's sales to Russia amounted to 6.8 percent (6.8) of net sales. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the corresponding share was 6.0 (7.5) percent of net sales. The Group has employees in Russia and a production facility for consumables distributed to the Russian market.

Boule's ability to transact with Russia, and maintain the supply chain for critical components, deteriorated in 2024. Therefore, in October 2024, the Board of Directors decided to initiate the process of divesting the manufacturing facility in Russia. Furthermore, the Board of Directors assessed that the unpredictable situation in Russia entails a very uncertain value of the assets, which led to a total impairment of the assets in the third quarter of 2024. As operations in Russia continue to be conducted until the divestment, the impairment will be adjusted on an ongoing basis so that the Group's book value of the assets in Russia will be zero. In the event of a liquidation, additional costs may be incurred.

² The cumulative number of instruments sold since 2006 amounts to 59,943 as of December 31, 2025.

3 Number of instruments sold in 2025 refers to sales per rolling 12 months.

{6}------------------------------------------------

Related party transactions

During the first quarter of 2025, Boule raised a loan of SEK 5.0 million each from the main owners Grenspecialisten and Thomas Eklund (also a member of the Board of Directors). In addition, a loan of SEK 2.0 million has been raised from the Chairman of the Board Torben Jørgensen. The loans carry an interest rate of 10% and must be repaid no later than February 28, 2027. The loan has no collateral. The transaction has been carried out on market terms. At the end of the period, the total outstanding loan amount amounted to SEK 12.0 million. No other significant transactions with related parties have taken place during the period.

Significant events during the interim period

Boule announced on October 13 that Holger Lembrér, Chief Financial Officer, will leave the company for a new opportunity outside the organization. Holger Lembrér will remain in his role for the next six months to ensure a smooth handover.

Boule announced on December 5 that Torben Nielsen, President and CEO, will leave the company for a new opportunity outside the organization. Torben Nielsen will remain in his role for the next six months to ensure a smooth handover

Changing segment division

As of the third quarter of 2025, the Group reports its operations in two business segments: Diagnostics and OEM Clinical Diagnostic Solutions. This new segment division reflects the Group's current internal governance and follow-up, in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments.

Boule already reports segment information per geographical region, and then only regarding net sales. The new segment structure also includes operating profit (EBIT) and corresponds to the level at which Group Management now monitors and evaluates the performance of the business. Segment information does not include assets and liabilities, as these are not tracked or reported internally at the segment level.

Background to the change

The change has been implemented to better reflect how the business is now managed and followed up internally and to increase transparency towards the market. The new segments are in line with the Group's organizational structure and decision-making process and provide investors with a clearer picture of each business area's drivers for growth and profitability.

Comparative figures In the 2024 Annual Report, the Group was reported as a cohesive segment, with only a geographical distribution of net sales. As of the third quarter of 2025, Boule reports two operating segments – Diagnostics and OEM CDS. For comparability, comparative figures for 2024 have been restated according to the new segmentation and included in this note in accordance with IFRS 8 paragraph 29.

Definitions

Use of key performance measures not defined in IFRS

The Boule Group's accounts are prepared in accordance with IFRS. IFRS defines only a few key performance indicators. Boule applies ESMA's (European Securities and Market Authority) guidelines for Alternative Performance Measures. In short, an alternative performance indicator is a financial measure of historical or future earnings development, financial position, or cash flow that is not defined or specified in IFRS.

To support management's and other stakeholders' analysis of the Group's development, Boule reports certain key performance indicators that are not defined in IFRS. The management believes that this information facilitates an analysis of the Group's development. This additional information is supplementary information to IFRS and does not replace key performance measures defined in IFRS. Boule's definitions of measures not defined in IFRS found below may differ from those of other companies. Calculations of all key figures can be reconciled with items in the income statement and balance sheet.

Sales development is the net sales for the period divided by the comparison period's net sales, expressed in percentage change.

Organic growth is the change in net sales during the current period, excluding acquisitions, divestments and exchange rate effects, in relation to net sales corresponding to the period last year, expressed in percentage change.

Gross profit is net sales less the cost of goods sold.

Gross margin is gross profit divided by net sales.

Adjusted gross profit is net sales less cost, adjusted for non-recurring items, for goods sold.

The measure is used to analyze the company's operational efficiency at the gross margin level, adjusted for temporary or non-recurring effects. Excluding items affecting comparability provides a more comparable and normalised margin that better reflects the performance of the underlying business.

Adjusted gross margin is adjusted gross profit divided by net sales.

EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) is earnings before net financial items, taxes and depreciation of tangible and intangible fixed assets.

EBITDA margin is EBITDA divided by net sales.

EBITA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and Amortization) is the operating profit before net financial items, taxes and amortization of intangible assets.

EBITA margin is EBITA divided by net sales.

Operating profit (EBIT), Earnings Before Interest and Taxes, is the operating profit before net financial items and taxes.

Operating margin (EBIT margin) is EBIT divided by net sales.

Adjusted operating profit (EBIT) is operating profit adjusted for non-recurring costs, before net financial items and taxes.

The measure aims to clarify the operational profitability of the ordinary operations by eliminating items that are not considered to be recurring. This enables a more consistent and relevant analysis of results over time and improves comparability both internally and against other companies.

Adjusted operating margin (EBIT margin) is adjusted operating profit (EBIT) divided by net sales.

Non-recurring costs refer to costs for restructuring and write-downs not attributable to operating activities.

Working capital is inventories, accounts receivable (short-term and long-term) and cash reduced by accounts payable.

Interest coverage ratio is operating profit plus financial income divided by financial expenses.

Return on equity is profit after tax divided by average equity.

Net debt (Net cash) is interest-bearing liabilities reduced by cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing short- and long-term receivables guaranteed by EKN.

Net debt/equity ratio is net debt divided by equity.

The equity ratio is equity divided by the balance sheet total.

Operating cash flow is the cash flow for the period excluding cash flow from financing activities and income tax paid.

The measure is used to describe the cash generation of operating activities, regardless of financing structure and temporary tax effects. By excluding cash flows related to financing activities and income tax paid, the measure provides a clearer picture of the operating business model's cash flow capacity. This allows for comparisons over time and between companies, regardless of tax position or financing choices.
