INTERIM REPORT JANUARY–JUNE 2025 2

CEO comments on the second quarter of the year

Challenging start to the quarter followed by strong recovery

The second quarter of the year, which is historically a seasonally weaker quarter, saw a challenging start due to the uncertain macroeconomic situation. However, we saw a strong recovery at the end of the quarter driven by high demand in Low Voltage.

Sustained growth in Low Voltage contributed to stronger gross margin

Low Voltage, meaning 12V and 24V battery charging, continued to deliver profitable organic growth. The continuing expansion was driven by high demand from both existing and new customers in Client Brand. The performance was also attributable to a continued rise in the share of online sales in the Consumer division and persistently high growth in some emerging markets.

In summary, sustained growth in Low Voltage contributed to a stronger gross margin of 56.3 percent (52.9). The adjusted EBITA margin of 6.9 percent (7.1) was in line with the comparative quarter. Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 31 million (22).

Another quarter of profitability in the Professional division

The Professional division continued to report profitability in the second quarter. The adjusted EBITDA margin for the division amounted to 3.0 percent (-6.5) and was due to the division's historically strong sales of Low Voltage. Sales growth could be attributed to both new and existing customers as well as from manufacturers of motorcycles, premium cars and other applications that require battery charging.

Growth in EVSE for the quarter was negative. This was partly due to the continued weak market and termination of the cooperation with General Motors. However, it is pleasing that we continue to sign new agreements. Among other things, we have deepend our collaboration with Stockholm City and added Stockholm City Real Estate to the customer list, where Stockholm City Parking is already included. The launch of the new Chargestorm Connected 3 EV charger also contributed to a stronger gross margin in EVSE.

New product areas for future profitable growth

At a Capital Markets Day held on 22 May, I presented, together with members of CTEK's Group Management Team, how we intend to achieve our financial targets, which are now set for 2028.

Two new adjacent product categories were introduced at the Capital Markets Day: Power Solutions, which aims to supplement energy systems such as recreational vehicles, boats and service vehicles, and Premium Boosters, which comprises booster products that complement our existing portfolio of Premium Chargers. Both of these new adjacent product categories, together with the existing Premium Chargers and EVSE portfolios, will help us achieve net sales of SEK 2 billion by 2028 with an adjusted EBITA margin of 20 percent.

We will be able to present a number of new products in Premium Chargers, Premium Boosters and EVSE as early as this autumn. In Power Solutions, we are now focusing on curating a leading offering that will be gradually launched over the next few years.

To summarise, I am convinced that CTEK is well positioned for profitable growth over time.

Henrik Fagrenius President and CEO

CTEK in brief

CTEK is a global leader in battery charging and power supply. The hallmark of the company is its strong culture centred on innovation, passion and trust that guides the organisation to constantly develop new products that are tailored to customer needs.

CTEK was founded in 1997 in Dalarna, Sweden, when it developed the world's first smart battery charger for 12V batteries. Today, CTEK is present in more than 70 countries and have over 50 premium vehicle manufacturers as customers.

CTEK's operations are divided into two sales divisions, which represent also reporting segments:

Consumer – directly targets end consumers with sales through distributors, retailers and e-traders.

Professional – offers customised solutions mainly to vehicle manufacturers, charge point operators and parking companies.

Vision

The customer's first choice and trusted partner – through excellence, innovation, and a continued committed to exceeding expectations.

Mission statement

We keep vehicles – and people moving, through smart, innovative charging and power solutions. So, they can focus on what truly matters, and never miss a moment.

Financial targets

The Board has set the following financial targets and dividend policy:

Sales growth

CTEK's target is to achieve net sales of SEK 2 billion by 2028.

Profitability

CTEK's target is to achieve an adjusted EBITA margin of 20 percent by 2028.

Capital structure

Net debt must be less than 3.0x adjusted EBITDA on a rolling twelvemonth basis. Strategic decisions such as acquisitions may have a temporary impact.

Dividend policy

CTEK invests its resources in growth and business development. In addition, CTEK's goal is to distribute 30 percent of the year's profit to shareholders.

CTEK'S sustainability work

Sustainability is a top priority for CTEK and permeates the entire business. The Company has a clearly defined sustainability strategy with several concrete initiatives and targets monitored on a continuous basis. The sustainability strategy is designed according to environmental, social and governance factors. The Company also requires its suppliers to meet sustainability standards, such as compliance with the Company's Code of Conduct by key suppliers. Through meticulous sustainability work, we meet our customers' increasingly stringent sustainability requirements.

To reduce its climate impact and contribute to a sustainable future, the company is working on several well-defined and concrete initiatives. The initiatives are divided into three categories: environmental, social and governance factors, which are cornerstones of the company's business. These initiatives include a strong focus on innovative chargers and accessories manufactured using robust, high-quality materials and designed to be durable and long-lasting. Efficient logistics and product inventory planning to reduce CO₂ emissions from transportation. Increased diversification and higher share of tier-1 suppliers subject to a sustainability audit.

Furthermore, CTEK has a Code of Conduct based on ethical and moral business principles implemented and approved by the Board. The principles address aspects such as compliance, respect for human rights, employees, child labour, health and safety and the environment. We require all our suppliers to sign and adhere to the Code of Conduct, which is evaluated annually. As part of the sustainability strategy, short and long-term performance measures are also evaluated for the work towards a circular business model. The performance measures are assessed on a continuous basis and used in the internal target-setting process.

Financial performance

SECOND QUARTER

Net sales

The Group's net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 197 million (212). Organically, net sales declined by 2 percent. The Consumer Division reported organic growth of just under 0.5 percent, although net sales fell, due to negative currency effects. Sales in Consumer were at stable levels, mainly due to an increased share of online sales and high demand in some emerging markets. Net sales in the Professional division declined by 6 percent organically in the second quarter of the year. The main reason for this was a weak EVSE market and the end of the cooperation with General Motors. Low Voltage reported strong sales for the second quarter of the year in customised chargers for both new and existing customers.

Earnings

The gross margin rose 3.4 percentage points to 56.3 percent (52.9). The higher gross margin was due to the product mix with an increased proportion of Low Voltage products.

Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 14 million (15), corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 6.9 percent (7.1).

Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to SEK 9 million (6), corresponding to a margin of 4.3 percent (3.0).

Financial income and expenses

Net financial income and expenses amounted to SEK -10 million (-8) for the second quarter of the year. The decline in net financial income was primarily due to negative unrealised currency effects on loans.

Tax

Tax for the quarter amounted to SEK -0 million (-1).

Consolidated profit/loss

Consolidated loss after tax for the second quarter of the year amounted to SEK -1 million (-2). Earnings per share after dilution were SEK -0.02 (-0.03).

FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR Net sales

Net sales for the first half of the year amounted to SEK 410 million (413). Net sales increased organically by 2 percent. The Consumer division increased by 3 percent organically. The higher sales in Consumer were primarily attributable to an increased proportion of online sales and good growth in the workshop charger segment. Net sales in the Professional division fell by 2 percent organically, which was mainly due to a continued weak EVSE market and the end of the cooperation with General Motors. However, we saw that the positive performance in Low Voltage continued.

Earnings

The gross margin rose 2.9 percentage points to 56.3 percent (53.4). The higher gross margin was due to the product mix with an increased proportion of Low Voltage products.

Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 33 million (34), corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 8.1 percent (8.3).

Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to SEK 23 million (14), corresponding to a margin of 5.6 percent (3.4).

Financial income and expenses

Net financial income and expenses amounted to SEK -23 million (-12) for the first half of the year. The decline in net financial income was primarily due to negative unrealised currency effects on loans.

Tax

Tax for the quarter amounted to SEK -1 million (-3).

Consolidated profit/loss

Consolidated loss after tax for the first half of the year of the year amounted to SEK -1 million (-1). Earnings per share after dilution were SEK -0.02 (-0.02).

NET SALES GROUP

CASH FLOW AND CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 31 million (22) for the second quarter. Cash flow from investing activities was SEK -16 million (-19). Cash flow from financing activities was SEK -2 million (-2). Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to SEK 113 million (120).

INVESTMENTS

CTEK's investments totalled SEK -16 million (-19) for the second quarter, of which SEK -2 million (-1) related to investments in and divestments of tangible assets and SEK -14 million (-18) related to investments in intangible assets attributable to capitalised development costs for current and future products.

EQUITY AND INDEBTEDNESS

CTEK's balance sheet total amounted to SEK 1,381 million on 30 June 2025 (1,420 on 31 December 2024). Equity decreased by SEK 2 million during the quarter to SEK 691 million (693 on 31 December 2024). Interest-bearing net debt amounted to SEK 261 million at the end of the quarter (278). Net debt in relation to adjusted EBITDA on 30 June 2025 was 1.8x (2.0).

Segment reporting

CTEK's operations are conducted in two divisions, which also represent reporting segments. These are based on the Company's defined customer groups and enable efficient monitoring of the business. The divisions share Group-wide functions, such as IT, HR, product development, marketing and finance.

Sales of the Group's products and services are split between two technologies: Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) and Low Voltage (LV).

Consumer – directly targets end consumers with sales through distributors, retailers and e-traders.

Professional –customised solutions of EVSE and Low Voltage mainly to vehicle manufacturers, charge point operators and parking companies.

Central – Central includes Group-wide income and expenses not allocated to the segments.

Consumer

Net sales increased by just under 0.5 percent organically to SEK 128 million (135) for the second quarter of the year. Currency effects negatively impacted net sales by 5 percentage points. Demand in Consumer remained strong in some emerging markets. We also noted a continued increase in online sales.

Profit for the segment (Adjusted EBITDA) was SEK 42 million (52) for the second quarter, corresponding to a margin of 33.0 percent (38.4). The lower margin was mainly due to the geographic mix, investments in increased selling expenses and periodization of performance marketing.

Net sales for the first half of the year increased by 3 percent organically to SEK 269 million (266).

Profit for the segment (Adjusted EBITDA) was SEK 91 million (99) for the first half of the year, corresponding to a margin of 33.9 percent (37.2). The lower margin was mainly due to the geographic mix and investments in increased selling expenses.

Professional

Net sales declined by 6 percent organically to SEK 70 million (78) for the second quarter of the year. Currency effects negatively impacted net sales by 4 percentage points. The decline in EVSE sales was due to the end of the cooperation with General Motors and a continued weak EVSE market. In Low Voltage, we saw strong growth, driven by deliveries to both new and existing customers.

Profit for the segment (Adjusted EBITDA) was SEK 2 million (-5) for the second quarter, corresponding to a margin of 3.0 percent (-6.5). The positive margin was mainly due to a product mix with a higher share of sales of Low Voltage and a stronger gross margin in EVSE.

Net sales for the first half of the year fell by 2 percent organically to SEK 141 million (147).

Profit for the segment (Adjusted EBITDA) was SEK 6 million (-8) for the first half of the year, corresponding to a margin of 4.5 percent (-5.6). The positive margin was mainly due to a product mix with a higher share of sales of Low Voltage and a stronger gross margin in EVSE.

NET SALES CONSUMER

Central

Net sales for Central amounted to SEK 0 million (0) for the second quarter. Adjusted for items affecting comparability, EBITDA of SEK -16 million (-19) was reported for the quarter.

The performance measures that the company has chosen to present are relevant to the business and in relation to the financial targets for growth, margin and capital structure. The Definitions section on the last page describes how the company defines the performance measures and the purpose of each performance measure.
