Johan Westermarck, CEO:
"Challenging market situation continued during the last quarter of 2025. Profit improvement program progressed as planned and we continued to adapt our operations to current market conditions. This is reflected in improved EBITDA compared to reference period. We published our updated strategy and longterm financial targets at the end of the year. We are now moving forward systematically in implementing our strategy for profitable growth.
The Group's revenue was EUR 34.0 million (41.9) in the last quarter and EUR 139.3 million (174.1) in January-December. The decline in the Group's revenue in 2025 was primarily driven by transferring operations to franchise entrepreneurs in first quarter of the year, as well as the challenging market.
Revenue of Staffing services was EUR 27.4 million (34.3) in the last quarter and EUR 115.7 million (145.5) in January-December. In the last quarter, demand for staffing services remained weak. Performance in the capital region was slightly better compared with other regions. The entire Staffing services chain-wide revenue declined by 10% in the fourth quarter, underperforming market development (HELA). The Staffing services chain-wide revenue declined less in the second half of the year than in the first half.
The revenue of Professional services was EUR 6.6 million (7.7) in October-December and EUR 24.0 million (29.0) in January-December. In the last quarter, demand for headhunting and assessment services showed improvement compared with previous quarter. Sales of transition security services remained at a solid level, while demand for consulting services continued to be weak.
The measures implemented under the performance improvement programs were reflected in lower fixed costs, and the EBITDA improvement compared to the reference period that began in the third quarter continued. EBITDA was EUR 2.5 million (2.3) in October–December and EUR 9.0 million (10.3) in January–December. EBIT for the final quarter was EUR -0.2 million (0.1) and EUR 0.2 million (2.3) for January–December. The decline in EBIT in the final quarter was impacted mainly by non-recurring expenses EUR 1.2 million (0.9).
We built the conditions for profitable growth
First indications of the effectiveness of the performance improvement program started to materialize in the third quarter. The continued EBITDA improvement compared to reference period in October–December further confirmed that we are moving in the right direction.
We focused on sales, customer work, and simplifying administrative work. During the last quarter, we initiated phased rollout of a customer relationship management system. During the autumn, we strengthened business representation within the group management team.

The AI-assisted operations management system for Staffing Services is in full use in daily resourcing for customers. In December, 74% of all shift orders were entered directly into the system by customers themselves. Artificial intelligence assigns nearly half of the shifts ordered through the Eezy Asiakkaat service, and a quarter of all orders are now filled within one minute.
We focus on profitable growth
According to strategy updated in December 2025, our focus is on staffing and recruitment services, the development of new service and pricing models within staffing services, and continued development of nationwide entrepreneurial operations. Our target is chain-wide revenue of over EUR 330 million, group revenue of over EUR 200 million, and EBIT exceeding 5% of group revenue by 2028. Our core task is to match work and workforce efficiently.
Our AI-assisted 24/7 operating model and technology provide us with a strong competitive position in staffing services. The service delivers a competitive advantage that is difficult to copy, driven by speed, efficiency, and superior user experience for both customers and staffed employees. We will continue to develop the service with a user-centric approach. In addition, we will begin to explore other application areas for the AI-powered technology that connects work with workforce efficiently.
We will also continue to focus on sales and customer work. We are systematically implementing strategy-driven operating models in sales into day-to-day work and will continue the phased rollout of the customer relationship management system during spring 2026.
We have a strong market position, satisfied customers, an efficient cost structure, and clear strategic focus which we are taking forward systematically. We operate nationwide and responsibly, providing our customers with the best talent. We closely monitor market developments and enter the new year with a realistic plan, aiming for profitable growth. I would like to thank our employees, customers, partners, and other stakeholders for good cooperation during year 2025."

Market review
Eezy's business consists of a range of workplace services: staffing services, employment, research and recruitment services, management and employee experience development, corporate culture design and light entrepreneurship services. Due to the working life megatrends and the increased need for flexible workforce we believe in the growth potential of the market during the strategy period.
In Finland, the share of flexible forms of working in relation to all work remains significantly lower than in comparable European countries (Euromonitor). Management believes that the market will continue its structural growth as flexible forms of working become more common.
According to an estimate by the company, the size of the entire HR services market in Finland was approx. EUR 3.1 billion in 2025, of which the staffing services were approx. EUR 2.6 billion. The market size of the relevant recruitment services was approx. EUR 110 million according to an estimate by the company. The invoicing volume of light entrepreneurship services market has been estimated to be approx. EUR 600 million and revenue to be approx. EUR 30 million. Market for employment services is estimated to be EUR 150 million. Employee experience surveys and consulting services markets are approx. EUR 120-140 million.
The economic cycle continued to be challenging, which affected largely the demand of Eezy's services. According to the Employment Industry Finland (HELA) association, the revenue of the 20 largest companies in the staffing service market decreased approx. 6 % in October-December and 8 % in January–December compared to last year. According to HELA, the economic situation in HR services was still in decline, but the economic outlook reflects cautious hope for the better. The relevant recruitment services market has experienced a steep decline due to difficult economic cycle. According to HELA, the revenue decreased approx. 13 % in October-December and 18 % in January-December compared to previous year.
Revenue & business development
October–December
Eezy's group revenue amounted to EUR 34.0 million (41.9), decreasing by 19% compared to the corresponding period in the previous year.
Revenue decreased by 20% in the staffing services area. The decline in revenue compared to corresponding period was partially due to transferring offices to franchisee entrepreneur network and partial customer transfers in the retail sector at the beginning of June. On the other hand, these transfers increased the franchise fees. The chainwide revenue from staffing services decreased by 10%, which is a weaker development than the HELA market statistic, which decreased approx. 6 %.
The demand for staffing services continued subdued in industry and construction sectors. The volumes in retail and horeca sectors were generally affected by consumer caution due to continued economic cycle. In the capital area we succeeded modestly compared to the market and other areas.
In the professional services area, the revenue decreased by 14%. Especially the demand for consulting services was weak in a challenging economic and employment cycle.
Eezy's chain-wide revenue amounted to EUR 58.2 million (63.5) decreasing by 8%. Franchise fees totaled EUR 1.5 million (1.3). The invoicing volume of light entrepreneurship services was EUR 9.3 million (9.0).
January–December

The demand in staffing services industry and construction sectors has remained subdued throughout the year. Also the demand in retail and horeca-sectors has been lower due to weakened consumer demand. In the capital area our performance was modestly better than the market and other areas.
In the Professional services the decrease in revenue was due to changes in employment services as a result of TE services reform in municipal sector. The subdued demand of direct search and consulting services in a challenging economic cycle affected in decreased revenue compared to corresponding period.
Eezy's chain-wide revenue amounted to EUR 233.8 million (257.4) decreasing by 9%. Franchise fees totaled EUR 6.0 million (5.1). The invoicing volume of light entrepreneurship services was EUR 34.3 million (34.7).

Risks and uncertainties
Eezy's risk management principles are based on the Finnish Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies. The objective of risk management is to ensure that the group's targets are reached and to safeguard the continuity of operations. The risks affecting Eezy's operations are assessed annually. The latest risk assessment was carried out in June 2025. There were no major changes in the identified risks.
Poor economic development in Finland may have an adverse impact on Eezy's business and result. In economic downturn it is possible that companies use less staffing services and other HR services offered by Eezy. It may be challenging for the company to meet the terms of its financing agreements if its revenue and EBITDA decline in a subdued market situation, or if its business grows rapidly and ties up more working capital.
More information:
Johan Westermarck, CEO tel. +358 50 339 7972
Other material risks identified for Eezy's operations are: motivation and commitment of personnel, insufficient investment in technological development and harmonization of operational models and supplier dependence. If there is insufficient investment in technological development and harmonization and implementation of a new digital operational model and other processes, this may lead to inefficiencies and weakened customer satisfaction.
More information about risk management is available on the company website.

Basis of preparation
Eezy Plc has prepared this Financial Statements Bulletin in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The financial information in the Financial Statements Bulletin has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the accounting policies comply with the IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations effective as at 31 December 2025.

The information presented in the Financial Statements Bulletin is unaudited. All figures presented have been rounded and consequently the sum of individual figures may deviate from the presented sum figure.
Accounting estimates
In preparing this Financial Statements Bulletin, management has been required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The business growth and EBITDA used in goodwill impairment testing are based on management's assessment of future development considering the general weak economic development in Finland and their effect on the economic outlook in HR services.

Revenue
Eezy's revenue comprises income from staffing services delivered both by group's own staffing units and through the franchise chain, and from professional services including light entrepreneurship services.
In staffing services Eezy provides the customer the resources agreed. Eezy seeks employees through open applications as well as through its own employee pool in order to find an employee fulfilling the customer requirements within a short notice. The employee signs the employment contract with Eezy and Eezy is responsible for all the employer obligations, but work is performed under the customer company's management. Staffing services' revenue consists of income from services performed and invoiced by Eezy Group companies.
In franchising services Eezy signs a contract with local franchisees, which gives the local company a right to sell services using Eezy's business concept and brand. Eezy also offers business support services to their customers. Franchising revenue comprises charges based on cooperation agreements.

Dividend payments
The Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held on 8 April 2025. The AGM decided that no dividend is paid based on the balance sheet adopted for the financial year 2024.
Share based payments
The board of directors of Eezy Plc decided on 17 December 2019 on a long-term share-based compensation plan (LTIP 2019- 2026) targeted to key employees. The aim of the incentive plan is to align the objectives of the shareholders and the key personnel to increase the value of the company as well as to ensure the execution of business strategy on a long-term basis. In addition, the aim is to engage the key personnel of the company and to offer them a competitive incentive plan based on share ownership and the development of the company's value. The payment of the compensation is subject to the condition that the key employee's employment or service relationship has not been terminated prior to the payment. The amount of compensation paid is subject to the achievement levels of the performance targets.
The share-based incentive plan contains five earning periods. The first 13 months earning period started on 1 December 2019 and ended on 31 December 2020. The second 13 months earning period started on 1 December 2020 and ended on 31 December 2021. The third 16 months earning period started on 1 December 2021 and ended on 31 March 2023. The fourth 24 months earning period started on 1 January 2023 and ended on 31 December 2024. The fifth 24 months earning period started on 1 January 2025 and ends on 31 December 2026. The Company's board of directors determines the reward criteria and their target levels as well as the employees covered by the incentive plan before the beginning of each earning period.
No shares were issued for the first, second, third and fourth earning periods.
In December 2024, Eezy Plc's board of directors decided on the fifth earning period of the share-based incentive plan for the company's key employees. The fifth earning period is 24 months, started on 1 January 2025 and ending on 31 December 2026. The reward criteria for the fifth earning period are based on Eezy Plc's total shareholder return, operating profit percent and an ESG component. A maximum of 256 000 reward shares could be awarded for the fifth earning period.

Key figures, their calculation and reconciliations
Eezy presents selected key figures which relate to the performance and financial position of the company. All these key figures are not measures defined in the IFRS and they are thus considered as alternative performance measures.
Alternative performance measures should not be viewed in isolation and they are not substitutes to the key figures presented in the audited financial statements. The companies do not calculate alternative performance measures in a uniform way, and thus the alternative performance measures presented by Eezy may not be comparable with the similarly named key figures presented by other companies.
