CEO comments on the third quarter of the year

Continued growth in Low Voltage supports strengthened margins

The Low Voltage business continued to grow in the third quarter of the year, which supported a strengthening of the Group's margins. At the same time, we continued to see a challenging market with low volumes in EVSE. The launch of new products is progressing according to plan, which is significantly expanding the addressable market.

Continued growth in Low Voltage

The Group's net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 212 million (222); adjusted for the termination of the cooperation with General Motors, organic growth was 4 percent.

The favourable trend in Low Voltage, meaning 12V and 24V battery charging products, continued during the quarter. Growth primarily derives from strong sales to Amazon via the Consumer division. This is partly explained by a change in Amazon's purchasing pattern, which is expected to result in comparatively lower order intake during the fourth quarter. We also saw continued high demand for Client Brand, meaning customised chargers, in the Professional division.

Combined, this contributed to a record-breaking gross margin for the Group of 59.1 percent (56.4) and a strengthening of the adjusted EBITA margin to 15.1 percent (13.6).

Cash flow from operating activities for the quarter amounted to SEK -19 million (-3) and was mainly due to increased accounts receivable related to the higher share of sales to Amazon and lower accounts payable.

Challenging market climate in EVSE

In EVSE, products for EV charging, the quarter continued to present challenges in a soft market.

However, we are continuing our work as planned and will launch two new models of our Chargestorm Connected 3 destination charger at the end of the year: one Eichrecht-certified model for the German market and one featuring a display, which is an EU requirement enabling the provision of dynamic QR codes for payment.

New product launches and expanded addressable market

As previously announced, we will be launching a number of new products in Low Voltage towards the end of the year.

The first model in the new Premium Boosters product category is scheduled for launch at the end of the year and will be followed by another model in 2026. This will significantly expand the addressable market.

We will also launch the next generation of our CS ONE, the most intelligent premium charger in the market, adding Wi-Fi functionality. Finally, we will launch NXT, a new product category that is a great complement to our existing portfolio.

The new products are expected to be delivered to the first customers at the end of the year and thus will have a marginal financial impact on the fourth quarter. My assessment is that we will primarily see an increase in sales related to the new products in the first quarters of 2026.

All in all, I am delighted that we once again can now launch a number of new products while reducing our product development costs. This is mainly the result of more efficient working methods and a lower share of EVSE R&D.

Milestones for financial targets

Updated financial targets were presented at our Capital Markets Day earlier in the year, with the aim of achieving 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 diagram on page 4).

As we have stated before, we will complete the next milestone already in the fourth quarter with the launch of the first models in the new Premium Boosters product category.

In conclusion, I am gratified to see a continued positive trend in margins driven by our profitable Low Voltage business. This means we have made good progress towards achieving our financial margin target, while the new product launches will bring us closer to reaching our financial sales target.

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 has sales in more than 70 countries and 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 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.

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

THIRD QUARTER

Net sales

The Group's net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 212 million (222). Organically, net sales declined by 1 percent. Adjusted for sales to General Motors in the comparative quarter, organic growth was 4 percent. The Consumer division reported organic growth of 12 percent. The growth in Consumer was primarily due to strong sales to Amazon. This is partly explained by a change in Amazon's purchasing pattern, which is expected to result in comparatively lower order intake during the fourth quarter. Net sales in the Professional division declined by 27 percent organically in the third quarter of the year. The main reason for this was a continued weak EVSE market and the comparative quarter including a significant share of sales to General Motors.

Earnings

The gross margin rose 2.7 percentage points to 59.1 percent (56.4). The higher gross margin was due to the product mix with an increased share of Low Voltage.

Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 32 million (30), corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 15.1 percent (13.6).

Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to SEK 25 million (20), corresponding to a margin of 11.9 percent (9.0). The quarter included items affecting comparability of SEK 1.4 million attributable to the sale of a property.

Financial income and expenses

Net financial income and expenses amounted to SEK -6 million (-12) for the third quarter of the year. The increase in net financial items was mainly due to lower interest expenditure.

Tax

Tax for the quarter amounted to SEK -5 million (-1).

Consolidated profit

Consolidated profit after tax for the third quarter of the year amounted to SEK 14 million (7). Earnings per share after dilution were SEK 0.21 (0.09).

NINE MONTHS

Net sales

Net sales for the first nine months of the year amounted to SEK 623 million (635). Net sales increased organically by 1 percent. The Consumer division increased by 7 percent organically. The higher sales in Consumer were primarily due to strong sales to Amazon. Net sales in the Professional division fell by 10 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 2.8 percentage points to 57.3 percent (54.5). The higher gross margin was due to the product mix with an increased share of Low Voltage.

Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 65 million (64), corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 10.5 percent (10.2).

Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to SEK 48 million (34), corresponding to a margin of 7.7 percent (5.4).

Financial income and expenses

Net financial income and expenses amounted to SEK -28 million (-24) for the first nine months of the year. The decline in net financial items was primarily due to negative unrealised currency effects on loans.

Tax

Tax for the first nine months of the year amounted to SEK -7 million (-4).

Consolidated profit

Consolidated profit after tax for the first nine months of the year amounted to SEK 13 million (5). Earnings per share after dilution were SEK 0.19 (0.08).

NET SALES GROUP

CASH FLOW AND CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash flow from operating activities for the third quarter amounted to SEK -19 million (-3) and was mainly due to increased accounts receivable related to the higher share of sales to Amazon. Cash flow from investing activities was SEK -14 million (-15). Cash flow from financing activities was SEK -2 million (-2). Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to SEK 78 million (98).

INVESTMENTS

CTEK's investments totalled SEK -14 million (-15) for the third quarter, of which SEK -2 million (-0) related to investments in and divestments of tangible assets and SEK -12 million (-15) 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 1,376 million on 30 September 2025 (1,420 on 31 December 2024). Equity increased by SEK 12 million during the quarter to SEK 705 million (693 on 31 December 2024). Interest-bearing net debt amounted to SEK 296 million at the end of the quarter (300). Net debt in relation to adjusted EBITDA on 30 September 2025 was 2.0x (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 12 percent organically to SEK 161 million (150) for the third quarter of the year. Currency effects negatively impacted net sales by 4 percentage points. Demand in Consumer remained high and included increased sales to Amazon during the quarter. This is partly explained by a change in Amazon's purchasing pattern, which is expected to result in comparatively lower order intake during the fourth quarter.

Profit for the segment (Adjusted EBITDA) was SEK 67 million (63) for the third quarter, corresponding to a margin of 41.4 percent (41.8).

Net sales for the first nine months of the year increased by 7 percent organically to SEK 430 million (416).

Profit for the segment (Adjusted EBITDA) was SEK 158 million (161) for the first nine months of the year, corresponding to a margin of 36.7 percent (38.8). The lower margin was mainly due to the geographic mix and marketing costs related to Amazon sales.

Professional

Net sales declined by 27 percent organically to SEK 51 million (72) for the third quarter of the year. Currency effects negatively impacted net sales by 2 percentage points. The decline in EVSE sales was due to the end of the cooperation with General Motors and a continued weak EVSE market. We continued to see healthy demand in Low Voltage.

Profit for the segment (Adjusted EBITDA) was SEK 0 million (-2) for the third quarter, corresponding to a margin of 0.0 percent (-2.1). The improved margin was mainly due to a product mix with a higher share of sales of Low Voltage and a stronger gross margin in EVSE. The margin was negatively impacted by a customs audit relating to prior periods, which resulted in a higher customs cost.

Net sales for the first nine months of the year declined by 10 percent organically to SEK 193 million (219).

Profit for the segment (Adjusted EBITDA) was SEK 6 million (-10) for the first nine months of the year, corresponding to a margin of 3.3 percent (-4.5). 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 CONSUMER

Central

Net sales for Central amounted to SEK 0 million (0) for the third quarter. Adjusted for items affecting comparability, EBITDA of SEK -20 million (-18) was reported for the quarter.

Auditor's review report

CTEK AB (publ) Corp. Reg. No. 559217-4659

Introduction

We have reviewed the summarised interim financial information (interim report) of CTEK AB (publ) as of 30 September 2025 and the nine-month period then ended. It is the Board and the CEO who are responsible for preparing and presenting this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Focus and scope of the review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information carried out by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices.

The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed on the basis of a review does not have the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed on the basis of an audit.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act for the Group and in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act for the Parent Company.

Origin of alternative performance measures

CTEK uses financial measures ("alternative performance measures"), which are not defined under IFRS.

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. The data provided below is supplementary information for determining the origin of the alternative performance measures.
