CEO comments on the fourth quarter of the year
Margins continued to strengthen, strong cash flow and launch of new products according to plan
The Group's margins strengthened again in the final quarter of the year and generated a strong cash flow, contributing to a lower debt/equity ratio. The sharp increase in the gross margin was particularly pleasing. Sales declined compared with last year, primarily as a result of the end of the cooperation with General Motors, negative currency effects and a weaker market in North America. At the same time, we continued to strengthen our market position in Low Voltage by increasing volumes during the year and the launch of several new products in both existing and new, adjacent product segments.
Strong cash flow and improved profitability
We continued to strengthen our margins in the fourth quarter of the year. The adjusted EBITA margin amounted to 14.3 percent (9.1), while the gross margin increased by 13 percentage points to 63.2 percent (49.8). The improved profitability was primarily attributable to the end of the unprofitable cooperation with General Motors, gradually increasing margins in all product segments and maintaining good cost control.
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 131 million (59), which supported a reduction in the debt/equity ratio to 1.2 (1.8).
In terms of number of Low Voltage products sold, our sales in 2025 increased by 5 percent year-on-year. The Group's net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 209 million (279). The negative growth was mainly due to the end of the cooperation with General Motors, which in the comparative quarter amounted to SEK 46 million. In addition, net sales were impacted by approximately SEK 10 million in negative currency effects as well as a decline in sales in North America, resulting from tariffs and weaker consumer sentiment, adversely impacting sales by an additional approximately SEK 10 million.
New product launches
Several new products in our existing Premium Charger segment were launched at the end of the quarter, as well as two products in our new adjacent product segment of Premium Boosters, for instant starting power.
With these launches, we have taken the first step into a new segment for CTEK with an addressable market that is considered to be the same size as the current Premium Charger market. The products have been well received by partners and end customers, and a gradual increase in sales is expected in 2026.
In EVSE, we saw a slight increase, albeit from very low levels. Our new EV charger Chargestorm Connected 3 continues to attract interest in the market and we are also introducing two new models here with the aim of strengthening our position and enabling entry into the German market.
Milestones for financial targets
Updated financial targets were presented at our Capital Markets Day in May that aim to achieve net sales of SEK 2 billion and an adjusted EBITA margin of 20 percent by 2028. To break down and visualise our journey towards these financial targets, we have produced an illustration with a number of milestones to be achieved along the way (see page 4).
As we mentioned before, I am delighted that we were able to complete the next milestone in the fourth quarter with the launch of the first models in the new Premium Boosters product category.

The aim for 2026 is to continue to complete milestones, with the launch of our first Power Solutions offering next in line.
In conclusion, we can see a continued positive trend in margins driven by our profitable Low Voltage business over time. This means we have made progress towards achieving our financial margin target, while the new product launches will bring us closer to reaching our financial sales target.
Our lower indebtedness also expands our scope for making add-on acquisitions to accelerate our progress.
To summarise, we are continuing to follow our strategic plan and it is with confidence that I look forward to a steady increase in sales and profitability in 2026.

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 preferred 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. Allowing them to focus on what really matters, and that they never miss a moment.

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.

{4}------------------------------------------------
CTEK'S sustainability work
Sustainability is an integral and prioritised component of CTEK's operations. The Company has a clearly defined sustainability strategy with concrete initiatives and targets that are regularly monitored. The strategy includes environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors and is designed to meet increasing demands from customers, partners and other stakeholders.
CTEK works on a number of well-defined initiatives in all ESG areas in order to reduce its climate footprint and contribute to sustainable development. Focal points include developing innovative chargers and accessories made from robust, high-quality materials and designed to be durable and long-lasting. Furthermore, the company is working on efficient logistics and warehousing planning in order to reduce CO₂ emissions from transportation and on increasing the diversification of its supplier base, with a higher share of tier-1 suppliers subject to a sustainability audit.
CTEK also has a Code of Conduct based on ethical and business principles adopted by the Board. The Code of Conduct addresses such areas as regulatory compliance, human rights, working conditions, health and safety, child labour and the environment. The Company requires all suppliers to sign and comply with the Code of Conduct, which is evaluated annually. As part of the Company's sustainability activities, short and long-term performance measures related to progress towards a more circular business model are also evaluated, and these measures are incorporated into the internal target and monitoring process.

Financial performance
FOURTH QUARTER
Net sales
The Group's net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 209 million (279). Organic net sales declined 21 percent, which was primarily due to the end of the cooperation with General Motors. In the Consumer division, organic sales declined by 9 percent, mainly due to negative currency effects and lower sales in the US resulting from trade tariffs and weaker consumer sentiment. Net sales for the Professional division declined by 45 percent organically, which was primarily the result of the continued weak trend in the EVSE market and the fact that the comparative quarter included a significant sales volume to General Motors.
Earnings
The gross margin rose 13.4 percentage points to 63.2 percent (49.8). The improvement was mainly due to a more favourable product mix with a higher share of Low Voltage and the end of the previously unprofitable cooperation with General Motors.
Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 30 million (25), corresponding to a margin of 14.3 percent (9.1).
Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to SEK 27 million (-69), corresponding to a margin of 12.8 percent (-24.9). Earnings for the quarter includes items affecting comparability of SEK 4.7 million and a positive reversal of SEK 6.7 million of previously recognised items affecting comparability attributable to the end of the collaboration with General Motors.
Financial income and expenses
Net financial income and expenses amounted to SEK -6 million (4) for the fourth quarter. The decline in net financial income was primarily due to negative currency effects on loans.
Tax
Tax for the quarter amounted to SEK -7 million (18). The change compared with last year was mainly a result of the earnings level and the effects of tax adjustments in prior periods.
Consolidated profit
Consolidated profit after tax for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 13 million (-47). Earnings per share after dilution were SEK 0.19 (-0.68).
FULL-YEAR
Net sales
Net sales for the full-year amounted to SEK 832 million (914). Organic net sales declined by 6 percent. Sales in the Consumer division increased organically by 2 percent, mainly driven by higher sales to Amazon. Net sales for the Professional division declined 21 percent organically, due to the end of the cooperation with General Motors and the continued weak trend in the EVSE market. At the same time, Low Voltage continued to perform positively.
Earnings
The gross margin rose 5.7 percentage points to 58.8 percent (53.0). The higher gross margin was due to the product mix with an increased share of Low Voltage.
Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 95 million (90), corresponding to a margin of 11.4 percent (9.8).
Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to SEK 75 million (-35), corresponding to a margin of 9.0 percent (-3.9).
Financial income and expenses
Net financial income and expenses amounted to SEK -35 million (-21) for the full-year. The decline in net financial income was primarily due to negative currency effects on loans.
Tax
Tax for the full-year amounted to SEK -14 million (14). The change compared with last year was mainly a result of the earnings level and the effects of tax adjustments in prior periods.
Consolidated profit
Consolidated profit after tax for the full-year amounted to SEK 26 million (-42). Earnings per share after dilution were SEK 0.38 (-0.60).
{6}------------------------------------------------
NET SALES GROUP

CASH FLOW AND CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 131 million (59) in the fourth quarter, primarily the result of a decline in accounts receivable and lower inventory levels. Cash flow from investing activities was SEK -12 million (-17). Cash flow from financing activities was SEK -28 million (-2), which was mainly due to the repayment of loans of SEK 25 million. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the year amounted to SEK 166 million (142).
INVESTMENTS
CTEK's investments amounted to a total of SEK -12 million (-17) in the fourth quarter. Of this amount, SEK -1 million (-2) related to investments in and divestments of tangible assets, while SEK -11 million (-14) related to investments in intangible assets attributable to capitalised development costs for current and future products.

CTEK's balance sheet total amounted to SEK 1,339 million on 31 December 2025 (1,420 on 31 December 2024). Equity increased by SEK 25 million to SEK 718 million at the end of the year (693 on 31 December 2024). Interest-bearing net debt amounted to SEK 183 million at the end of the period (257).

Concumer
Net sales fell by 9 percent organically to SEK 159 million (184) in the fourth quarter. Currency effects negatively impacted net sales by 5 percentage points. Demand in Consumer remains high, although sales to US customers declined during the quarter due to trade tariffs and weaker consumer sentiment.
Profit for the segment (adjusted EBITDA) was SEK 64 million (70) for the fourth quarter, corresponding to a margin of 40.4 percent (38.1). The margin improvement was due to a gradual improvement in gross margins combined with continued good cost control.
Net sales increased by 2 percent organically to SEK 589 million (600) for the full-year. Currency effects negatively impacted net sales by 4 percentage points.
Profit for the segment (adjusted EBITDA) was SEK 222 million (231) for the full-year, corresponding to a margin of 37.7 percent (38.6). The lower margin was mainly due to a geographical mix and slightly lower net sales than last year.
Professional
Net sales fell by 45 percent organically to SEK 50 million (95) in the fourth quarter. Currency effects negatively impacted net sales by 2 percentage points. The decline in EVSE was due to the end of the cooperation with General Motors and the continued weak trend in the EVSE market. However, we continued to see healthy demand in Low Voltage.
Profit for the segment (adjusted EBITDA) was SEK 1 million (-10) for the fourth quarter, corresponding to a margin of 1.8 percent (-10.5). The margin improvement was mainly due to a more favourable product mix with a higher share of sales in Low Voltage and a stronger gross margin in EVSE.

Profit for the segment (adjusted EBITDA) was SEK 7 million (-20) for the full-year, corresponding to a margin of 3.0 percent (-6.3). 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.
