CEO comments on the first quarter of the year
Continued growth for the Group and first quarter with profitability for the Professional division
CTEK continued to grow profitability in the first quarter of the year. The Consumer division reported another strong quarter, thereby supporting the Group's growth. It was also gratifying that the Professional division could report a positive EBITDA margin for the first time.
Continued profitable growth for the Group
The first quarter of the year saw continued growth of 5 percent for the Group, and was the fourth consecutive quarter of organic growth. The gross margin was a strong 56.4 percent (54.0), at the same time as the adjusted EBITA margin declined by 0.6 percentage points to 9.1 percent (9.7). This was due to negative unrealised currency effects linked to the strengthening of the SEK against the EUR.
The debt/equity ratio fell to 1.9x (2.2), still well below the company's financial target. Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 8 million (45). However, we see a long-term positive trend and have therefore amortized our loan by an extra SEK 25 million during the quarter.
Continued growth, with sustained strong margins for the Consumer division
The favourable trend of continuous profitable growth for the Consumer division, which primarily markets and sells Low Voltage products globally, continued in the first quarter of the year.
The division grew by 7 percent organically, while maintaining a stable high EBITDA margin. The growth was primarily attributable to a continued increase in online sales and good growth in the workshop charger segment, where CTEK mainly supplies chargers to workshops.
In North America, we saw continued good growth despite the uncertain and difficult-to-assess market situation. CTEK has previously moved the majority of its production from China to Malaysia and it is my assessment, at the time of writing, that the imposed tariffs will be competition-neutral since the majority of players in the industry have production in Asia.
First quarter with positive margin for the Professional division
I am gratified that the Professional division, which sells both EVSE and customised Low Voltage products, could report a positive EBITDA margin of 6.0 percent (-4.6) in the first quarter. The positive EBITDA margin was partly the effect of higher sales, but equally important was streamlining the organisation, resulting in a lower cost base.
Our EVSE business in destination charging remained stable, while the rollout of the new Chargestorm Connected 3 EV charger led to a stronger margin. The focus for 2025 is to continue deliveries of Chargestorm Connected 3 to the UK and then to Germany.

In the customised Low Voltage products segment ("Client Brand"), we saw strong growth during the quarter, largely driven by deliveries to one of Europe's largest motorcycle manufacturers. This was an agreement signed in the second half of 2024 and that has already generated significant volumes.
Next phase of the strategic plan for profitable growth
As previously communicated, during my initial time as CEO at CTEK, I worked together with management to develop a three-phase strategic plan to return the company to profitable growth. We completed the first phase (stability) during the early part of 2024 and we have now made significant progress in the second phase (profitability). We will present more detailed information on what the third phase (profitable growth) will entail for the company at a capital markets day that will be held on 22 May in Stockholm.
To summarise, we are continuing to follow our strategic plan and it is with confidence that I look forward to a successful 2025.
Henrik Fagrenius
President and CEO

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. Initiatives include a strong focus on innovative electric vehicle chargers and accessories that support fleet electrification, logistics and product inventory planning to reduce carbon emissions from transport, increased diversification, and increased 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
FIRST QUARTER
Net sales
Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 213 million (201). Net sales increased organically by 5 percent. The Consumer division increased by 7 percent organically. The higher sales in Consumer were primarily attributable to a continued increase in online sales and good growth in the workshop charger segment, where CTEK mainly supplies chargers to workshops. Net sales in the Professional division increased by 3 percent organically, which was mainly due to the continued positive development in Low voltage with strong sales of customised chargers, and the EVSE business in destination charging remaining at a stable level. EVSE decreased to SEK 27 million (35), accounting for 13 percent (17) of sales in the first quarter of the year. The decline in sales was mainly due to the end of the cooperation with General Motors.
Earnings
The gross margin rose 2.4 percentage points to 56.4 percent (54.0). The increased gross margin trend was due to the product mix with a higher proportion of Low Voltage products.
Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 19 million (19), corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 9.1 percent (9.7). This margin decline was due to negative unrealised currency effects linked to the strengthening of the SEK against the EUR.
Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to SEK 14 million (8), corresponding to a margin of 6.7 percent (3.8).
Financial income and expenses
Net financial income and expenses amounted to SEK -13 million (-4) for the first 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 -1 million (-3).
Consolidated profit
Consolidated profit/loss after tax for the first quarter of the year amounted to SEK 0.0 million (profit: 1). Earnings per share after dilution were SEK 0.00 (0.01).
Share of sales per technology and divisions' share of the Group's net sales, Jan–Mar 2025


CASH FLOW AND CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 8 million (45) for the first quarter. Cash flow from investing activities was SEK -16 million (-19). Cash flow from financing activities was SEK -27 million (-102), of which SEK 25 million (100) related to repayment of long-term debt. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to SEK 100 million (120).
INVESTMENTS
CTEK's investments totalled SEK -16 million (-18) for the first quarter, of which SEK -3 million (-2) related to investments in and divestments of tangible assets and SEK -13 million (-17) 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 1,335 million on 31 March 2025 (1,420 on 31 December 2024). Equity decreased by SEK 1 million during the quarter to SEK 692 million (693 on 31 December 2024). Interest-bearing net debt amounted to SEK 274 million at the end of the quarter (278). Net debt in relation to adjusted EBITDA as of 31 March 2025 amounted to 1.9x (2.2).

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 7 percent organically to SEK 141 million (132) for the first quarter of the year. Currency effects positively impacted net sales by 1 percentage point. Demand in the Consumer division remained favourable in many markets, with higher online sales and growth in the workshop charger segment, where CTEK mainly supplies workshops with chargers for professional use.
Profit for the segment (Adjusted EBITDA) was SEK 49 million (47) for the first quarter, corresponding to a margin of 34.8 percent (35.9). The lower margin was mainly due to investments, for example, to strengthen the sales force, resulting in increased selling expenses.
Professional
Net sales increased by 3 percent organically to SEK 72 million (69) for the first quarter of the year. Currency effects positively impacted net sales by 1 percentage point. EVSE accounted for 36 percent (49) of sales and comprised our EVSE business in destination charging, which remained at a stable level. The decline in EVSE sales was due to the end of the cooperation with General Motors. In Low Voltage, we saw strong growth, largely driven by deliveries to one of Europe's largest motorcycle manufacturers.
Profit for the segment (Adjusted EBITDA) was SEK 4 million (-3) for the first quarter, corresponding to a margin of 6.0 percent (-4.6). The positive margin was mainly due to increased sales, but also streamlining in the Professional organisation, which resulted in a lower cost base.
