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

Sales and profit increased in Q3 – strong cash flow

Net sales in Q3 amounted to MSEK 74, which is in the guided range and higher than the comparable quarter (57), driven by higher sales in Private jet, OEM and retrofit. Aftermarket revenues were unchanged quarterover-quarter but lower compared to the previous quarter. A lower USD/SEK continues to have a negative impact on sales and earnings of MSEK 7 and MSEK 5, respectively. EBIT for the quarter amounted to MSEK 19 (15), resulting in an EBIT margin of 25% (26). The adjusted EBIT margin after full implementation of initiated cost savings had (all other things equal) amounted to 27%. As expected, reported cash flow from operating activities (MSEK 33) was strong and exceeded EBITDA (MSEK 20).

OEM is driven by increased production rates and content

OEM sales amounted to MSEK 12 (10) in the quarter. Growth in 2025 has been held back by repeated delays in aircraft deliveries pending certification. We have successfully focused on what is within our control, mainly that airlines should choose more of our products when specifying new A350 aircraft. On a positive note, several airlines have succeeded in certifying their new premium cabins, especially the Boeing 787, where deliveries are now increasing. The delivery schedules from Airbus and Boeing show significant increase in our deliveries in 2026/2027. In addition to a higher production rate of aircraft, an increased shipset content on the A350 will drive our OEM sales.

Private Jet driven by VIP

In Private Jet, revenues increased to MSEK 13 (1) in Q3 and to MSEK 24 (6) during the first nine months. Sales pipeline looks good, driven by Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ) and planned VIP projects.

Aftermarket delivers a stable quarter

In the aftermarket, we had a solid quarter with sales of MSEK 44 (43), driven by more repairs, offset by lower revenues from spare parts.

OEM cooperation with Liebherr Aerospace

CTT and Liebherr Aerospace (Liebherr) have entered cooperation regarding the new COMAC C929 aircraft model. If Liebherr is selected to supply the ECS-system, CTT will supply humidifiers and dehumidifiers to Liebherr (CTT tier-2 to COMAC). The C929 is designed with a total of six humidifiers and two dehumidifiers as standard. The development is expected to start next year.

BBJ introduces cabin humidification as standard

Last week, CTT and Boeing Business Jets (BBJ) signed a letter of intent to extend collaboration, offering a cabin humidification system as a baseline configuration across the BBJ airplane portfolio. It strengthens our outlook going forward as both ACJ and BBJ promote cabin humidification. The value and benefits behind this decision also apply to large-cabin Business jets. CTT and Liebherr are in extensive discussions with Bombardier.

No guidance going forward for the next coming quarter

We will not give any specific guidance for the next upcoming quarter going forward. This is due to unusually large currency movements (read: USD/SEK), shorter lead times from order to delivery and changed buying behavior among distributors. All in all, this makes it more difficult to predict net sales in the short term. That said, we would like to flag that there is a risk that distributors will keep their inventories down before the end of the year. It's not good for our sales and earnings, but it's a one-off effect.

Strong growth outlook 2026-

However, there are bright spots, such as system sales starting to pick up with an increase of 80% so far in 2025. Looking ahead to next year, I can state that the drivers for our growth have strengthened further during the quarter. I therefore expect that starting in Q1 2026 and for several years to come, we will be able to deliver a strong sales increase of systems, driven by a growing OEM market. Private jet also has good conditions to increase sales further, although there is some uncertainty when the projects start. Our aftermarket sales are expected to increase compared to 2025 when they once again reflect distributors' actual sales to the airlines. After a few years of delay, CTT is about to begin the next phase of growth.

NET SALES

Net sales increased by 29% in the third quarter to MSEK 73.8 (57.4). Adjusted for currency, sales increased by 39% 1 , positively impacted by increased deliveries to Private jet, as well as increased revenues in OEM and Retrofit. In OEM, sales increased to MSEK 11.9 (10.3), driven by an increase in deliveries to both the A350 and Boeing 787 program. In Private Jet, sales increased to MSEK 13.2 (1.1), driven by two kit deliveries to ACJ320 and revenue recognition for ACJ330 and Boeing 787 projects. Revenues for Retrofit were MSEK 2.5 (0.0) in the quarter, consisting of system deliveries to Jet2.com. Aftermarket revenue stayed on the same level, MSEK 43.6 compared to 43.4 Q3 last year.

Accumulated, for the period January – September, net sales decreased with 5% to MSEK 207.6 (218.0). Adjusted for currency, sales increased by 1%, 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 72.5 on average per quarter or MSEK 290 in yearly pace.

The graph above shows quarterly net sales and rolling four quarters average.

The breakdown of net sales for the quarters is presented above.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

The operating profit (EBIT) in the third quarter increased to MSEK 18.6 (15.0), corresponding to a margin of 25% (26). Sales volume increased and added MSEK 15 to EBIT. This was offset by currency and negative sales mix. A lower USDSEK had a total impact of MSEK -5, deriving from MSEK -5 impact on net sales and MSEK +0 from the valuation of account receivables (AR) and payables (AP), compared with the previous year (MSEK -0.4 in the quarter and -0.5 last year). Negative sales mix deducted MSEK 5, mainly due to a lower aftermarket share of total net sales (accounting for 59% vs. 76%). Cost increase in variable remuneration (higher EBIT) and higher salaries, increased personnel costs. 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 27% (all else being equal). Net financial items amounted to MSEK -0.4 (0.3) and were positively impacted by currency effects from loans taken in USD with +0.4 (2.1). The profit margin amounted to 25% (27). Net profit was MSEK 14.4 (12.2) and earnings per share amounted to SEK 1.15 (0.98).

Accumulated, for the period January – September, EBIT decreased to MSEK 40.5 (78.9), corresponding to a margin of 20% (36). The decrease in earnings compared to last year is mainly a consequence of a weak Q1, decreased volume in aftermarket sales and currency effects. Net profit was MSEK 33.0 (61.3) and earnings per share amounted to SEK 2.63 (4.89).

The earnings trend since Q2 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.

FOURTH QUARTER 2025 GUIDANCE

We will not give any specific guidance for the next upcoming quarter going forward. This is due to unusually large currency movements (read: USD/SEK), shorter lead times from order to delivery and changed buying behavior among distributors. All in all, this makes it more difficult to predict net sales in the short term.

OUTCOME VS THIRD QUARTER 2025 GUIDANCE

In the second quarter report (2025), CTT made the following forecast for the third quarter of 2025: "The net sales guidance for the third quarter of 2025 is MSEK 70 - 80 (57)."

The actual net sales amounted to MSEK 73.8.

ORDER INTAKE AND ORDER BACKLOG

During the third quarter, the Company's order intake decreased to MSEK 48 (69), mainly positively driven by OEM, but offset by lower order intake in Private Jet and in the Aftermarket. Accumulated, for the period January – September, order intake increased to MSEK 318 (182), primally driven by the Jet2.com retrofit order, strong order intake from Private jet and an increase in OEM.

As of 30 September 2025, the order book totaled MSEK 129 (47), based on USD exchange rate of 9.42 (10.09), 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 increased to MSEK 17.1 (9.4) in the third quarter, mainly affected by increased EBITDA (MSEK 20.1 compared to 16.8). The cash flow from operating activities increased to MSEK 33.1 (8.1). Changes in working capital were in total MSEK +16.0 (- 1.3). Operating liabilities decreased by MSEK 2.8 (2.5). Accounts receivable was positively impacted by over MSEK 8 in expected payments from a distributor being delayed in Q2 and were paid in Q3. Inventory decreased with MSEK 6.1 in the quarter. 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 32.8 (6.8).

Accumulated, for the period January – September, cash flow before changes in working capital decreased to MSEK 31.8 (63.4). The cash flow from operating activities amounted to MSEK 40.8 (50.2), mainly affected by decreased EBITDA.

Overall, CTT has a strong financial position, with its equity ratio at 30 September 2025 amounting to 73% (73). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to MSEK 35 (54), and in addition CTT has available credit facilities of MSEK 57. Net debt as of 30 September 2025 amounted to MSEK 2 (-13), and equity to MSEK 256 (266).

INVESTMENTS

Investments in the third quarter amounted to MSEK 0.0 (0.7 MSEK excluding reclassification from fixed assets to expenses) compared to 0.9 MSEK in Q3 previous year. Accumulated investments during the period January – September amounted to MSEK 2.6 (3.0).

PERSONNEL

The average number of employees during the third quarter was 85 (85). Accumulated, for the period January – September, the corresponding number was 85 (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.
