CTT – WORLD LEADER IN ACTIVE HUMIDITY CONTROL IN AIRCRAFT
CTT is the leading supplier of active humidity control systems in aircraft. We solve the aircraft humidity paradox - with far too dry cabin air - and
too much moisture in the fuselage - causing dehydration for people onboard and excess weight in the aircraft inducing larger environmental
footprint. CTT offers humidifiers and anti-condensation systems available for retrofit and line-fit on commercial aircraft as well as private jets.
For more information about CTT and how active humidity control products make air traveling a little more sustainable and far more
pleasurable, please visit: www.ctt.se

Interim Report Second Quarter 2025

Sales MSEK 80 – in line with guidance

In Q2, net sales amounted to MSEK 80, in line with our guidance, driven by higher activities in Private Jet that generated sales of MSEK 10, significantly higher compared with Q2 2024 and the previous quarter. In OEM, sales were at the same level as in the comparable quarter, but sequentially lower. The decrease from Q125 is due to pushed OEM-deliveries, temporarily impacted by small supply chain adjustments by Airbus and Boeing to match inventories with delayed aircraft production rate increases. Revenues from the aftermarket amounted to MSEK 57 reflecting distributors' demand from airlines.

EBIT lower due to one-off items – adjusted margin 28%

The quarter's EBIT result decreased sharply to MSEK 18 (31), with a low EBIT margin at 23% (38%). EBIT decreased mainly due to currency, sales mix and one-off costs. Adjusted for one-off items (primarily currency movement impact on valuation of AR/AP and one-time costs for system tests - see page 6 for a more detailed description), the EBIT margin was 28%. To increase the EBIT margin, we have initiated cost savings that fully implemented would have resulted in 200bps improvement of the adjusted EBIT margin in the reporting quarter to 30% (all other things being equal). The reported cash flow from operations was weak but is expected to exceed EBITDA in the second half of the year. Already in July, we expect positive working capital of MSEK 15 - 20. This will quickly reduce net debt.

Strong order intake driven by Private jet and OEM

The company's order intake increased during the second quarter to MSEK 89 (47), mainly driven by OEM and Private jet. Order backlog and forecasts from Airbus and Boeing indicate significant OEM-delivery ramp-up from Q126. The order backlog was MSEK 158 (38).

Net Sales Q3 guidance is 70 – 80 MSEK

The net sales guidance for Q3 is MSEK 70 – 80. Compared with the previous quarter, we expect small changes in our business areas. In Q3, the first anticondensation systems will be delivered to jet2.com (a total of 146 systems over 10 years).

The aftermarket is stable

The underlying aftermarket is stable, but the growth rate remains low, reflecting last year's slow increase in the number of systems installed. When system sales take off in the next few years, the aftermarket is expected to grow faster. Given that Airbus and Boeing reach their production targets, we expect the installed base of humidifiers to grow by >20% per year.

OEM market driven by aircraft backlogs at record-high

According to Airbus' and Boeing's delivery plans, demand for our products will increase from Q126, with a continued strong outlook for growth in 2026/2027. This is underpinned by backlogs for long-haul aircraft at record-high levels. Efforts to increase widebody aircraft production rates are more challenging than anticipated due to certification issues for premium seats. Therefore, aircraft deliveries are consequently lagging with a negative impact on production. In the second quarter, Airbus produced 6-7 A350 aircraft per month and Boeing is well on its way to 7 for the 787. Both Airbus and Boeing must step-up delivery rates rapidly in 2026/2027 to reach production rate goals of 10 per month for the 787 (2026) and 12 for the A350 (2028).

Higher shipset content on A350's drives sales

We expect OEM sales to also be driven by a higher shipset content value on the A350 (i.e. more products on average per newly built A350 aircraft). Today, the average content is approx. 0.7 humidifiers per A350 on the global fleet of close to 700 aircraft. If looking at the backlog of another 700 on order, new A350 operators select 2 – 3 humidifiers per A350 and some airlines even select 5 – 6 humidifiers per aircraft. The new airlines have been hit harder by Airbus delays, compared to those with aircraft with certified interiors (often early A350 operators with few or no humidifiers). As consequence, aircraft specified with more CTT products have been pushed forward. However, this will gradually change towards the end of 2025 and into 2026, as a larger proportion of aircraft produced will have a higher shipset content.

ACJ ensures higher sales in Private Jet

Private Jet sales are about to be established at a higher level, mainly driven by the partnership with Airbus Corporate Jets. We will take a significant sales leap if we close deals with the additional two OEMs we currently negotiate with.

Major Retrofit anti-condensation deals earliest in 2026

A few airlines are considering installing anti-condensation systems, mainly on Airbus A321 aircraft. In total, this is an order potential of about 350 aircraft. However, we do not expect any major anti-condensation retrofit deal closure this year, in the beginning of 2026 at the earliest.

Resilient growth

The outlook is strong, although we expect some geopolitical turbulence and general economic headwinds. The company's growth plan is based on resilient trends and CTT is therefore well positioned for sustained and profitable growth.

NET SALES

Net sales decreased by 3% in the second quarter to MSEK 79.7 (82.4). Adjusted for currency, sales increased by 7% 1 , positively impacted by increased deliveries to Private jet, but offset by lower revenues, primarily in the Aftermarket. In OEM, sales decreased to MSEK 9.6 (10.2), driven by a temporally decrease in deliveries to both the A350 and Boeing 787 program. As expected, aftermarket revenue decreased to MSEK 56.7 (66.1), due to an exceptionally strong comparable quarter. In Private Jet, sales increased to MSEK 10.3 (2.3), driven by three kit deliveries to ACJ320. Revenues for Retrofit were zero in the quarter (0.0).

Accumulated, for the period January – June, net sales decreased with 17% to MSEK 133.8 (160.5). Adjusted for currency, sales decreased by 13%, primarily lower due to a weak Q1, which was negatively affected by temporary inventory effects in the Aftermarket.

Rolling four quarters, the revenues amounted to MSEK 68.4 on average per quarter or MSEK 273 in yearly pace.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

The operating profit (EBIT) in the second quarter decreased to MSEK 18.0 (31.4), corresponding to a margin of 23% (38). Sales volume increased and added MSEK 4 to EBIT. This was offset by currency and negative sales mix. A lower USDSEK had a total impact of MSEK -10, deriving from MSEK -7.2 impact on net sales and MSEK -2.4 from the valuation of account receivables (AR) and payables (AP), compared with the previous year (MSEK -2.2 in the quarter and +0,2 last year). Negative sales mix deducted MSEK 5, mainly due to a lower aftermarket share of total net sales (accounting for 71% vs. 80%). Headcount increase, 86 vs 84, and higher salaries, increased personnel costs. The quarter had one-time costs in testing & development of about MSEK 2. Adjusted for the one-offs, including the currency effects from revaluation of receivables and liabilities to USD

9.51, the EBIT margin would have been 28%. The impact from the currency movement is one-off if the USDSEK exchange rate is unchanged at 9.51 (i.e. will not result in any revaluation of AR/AP). Cost savings have been initiated to counteract the lower dollar rate and improve the EBIT margin. Fully implemented, an additional 200bps would have strengthened the EBIT margin in the quarter to 30% (all else being equal). Net financial items amounted to MSEK 0.7 (-0.4) and were positively impacted by currency effects from loans taken in USD with +2.1 (0.2). The profit margin decreased to 23% (38). Net profit was MSEK 14.9 (24.6) and earnings per share amounted to SEK 1.19 (1.96).

Accumulated, for the period January – June, EBIT decreased to MSEK 22.0 (63.9), corresponding to a margin of 16% (40). The decrease in earnings compared to last year is mainly a consequence of decreased volume in aftermarket sales and currency effects. Net profit was MSEK 18.6 (49.1) and earnings per share decreased to SEK 1.48 (3.92).

The earnings trend since Q1 2024 is presented to the right, where the green line shows the EBIT margin adjusted for currency effects directly linked to accounts receivable and accounts payable valuation. Average USD / SEK exchange rate according to Riksbanken.

THIRD QUARTER 2025 GUIDANCE

The net sales guidance for the third quarter of 2025 is MSEK 70 - 80 (57).

OUTCOME VS SECOND QUARTER 2025 GUIDANCE

In the first quarter report (2025), CTT made the following forecast for the second quarter of 2025: "The net sales forecast for the second quarter of 2025 is MSEK 75 - 80 (82)."

The actual net sales amounted to MSEK 79.7

ORDER INTAKE AND ORDER BACKLOG

During the second quarter, the Company's order intake increased to MSEK 89 (47), mainly driven by OEM, Private Jet and parts of the Aftermarket. Accumulated, for the period January – June, order intake increased to MSEK 270 (113), primally driven by the Jet2.com retrofit order and strong order intake from Private jet.

As of 30 June 2025, the order book totaled MSEK 158 (38), based on USD exchange rate of 9.51 (10.61), at the end of the quarter. An increase in order intake from OEMs in the future will lead to an increased order book since OEMs, generally have longer lead times than one quarter.

CASH FLOW AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Cash flow before changes in working capital decreased to MSEK 16.8 (26.5) in the second quarter, mainly affected by decreased EBITDA (MSEK 19.6 compared to 33.3). The cash flow from operating activities decreased to MSEK 3.4 (16.1). Changes in working capital were in total MSEK -13.5 (-10.4). Operating liabilities decreased (paid variable remuneration) and accounts receivable increased. Accounts receivable were negatively impacted by over MSEK 8 in expected payments from a distributor being delayed and slipped into July. Adjusted for this, the operating cash flow would have been MSEK +12 in the quarter. Inventory decreased by MSEK 0.5 in the quarter. During some quarters we have underperformed profit-to-cash conversion. That is temporary and will reverse. Operating cash flow is

expected to exceed EBITDA in the second half of the year due to the positive working capital of MSEK 15 - 20. The net cash flow for the reporting period amounted to MSEK -65.8 (-94.2), including a dividend of MSEK 67.0 (109.0).

Accumulated, for the period January – June, cash flow before changes in working capital amounted to MSEK 14.7 (54.0). The cash flow from operating activities decreased to MSEK 7.7 (42.1), mainly affected by decreased EBITDA and by negative changes in working capital.

Overall, CTT has a strong financial position, with its equity ratio at 30 June 2025 amounting to 71% (70). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to MSEK 2 (49), and in addition CTT has available credit facilities of MSEK 56. Net debt as of 30 June 2025 amounted to MSEK 35 (-5), and equity to MSEK 242 (254).

INVESTMENTS

Investments in the second quarter amounted to MSEK 1.7 (1.0), and during the first half year to MSEK 2.7 (2.1).

PERSONNEL

The average number of employees during the second quarter was 86 (84). Accumulated, for the period January – June, the corresponding number was 86 (84).

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

CTT is exposed to several risks that could significantly impact the Company's operations, earnings and financial position. The Company's risks are divided into strategic, operational and financial risks. One of these risks is currency. CTT is extremely dependent on the exchange rate of USD to SEK, as most of its revenues are in USD (as business in the aviation industry is priced in USD). CTT has a large proportion of costs in non-USD currencies, mainly SEK. A weakening in USD/SEK-rate has an adverse effect on earnings. For a more detailed description of this particular risk and others, refer to the Risk and Risk Management section on pages 62 - 66 of the Company's Annual Report 2024. No significant changes in material risks or uncertainties have arisen during the period.
