Comments by the CEO

I am pleased to announce that the fourth quarter concluded the year on a highly positive note, with a total net sales increase of 5.7% to EUR 239.0 (226.1) million and improved profitability with an adjusted EBITA of EUR 8.3 million (5.7). We have now achieved adjusted EBITA improvements for ten consecutive quarters, demonstrating that our strategic initiatives are delivering. We improved our margins every quarter year-onyear, broadened our customer base and strengthened our position in new services. Growth within these services played a key role in our performance in Q4 and will be even more important going forward.

I am proud of how our organization has embraced and implemented our strategy. This was particularly visible in our New business, including Data Center, Solar PV and Battery Energy Storage Systems, BESS, which accounted for 11.3% of our net sales. Finland was especially successful in capturing opportunities in these areas. Sweden, on the other hand, led the way in broadening our customer base in Classic business, which is essential for the consistent delivery of financial performance.

In Finland, significant growth in Power compensated for declining volumes in Communication, resulting in increased net sales and improved profitability in the fourth quarter. A significant part of net sales originated from New business, especially from Solar PV and Data Center. Ending the year on such a good note paves way for continuous progress.

Sweden ended the year with a fantastic growth, and improved profitability in both Communication and Power. The consistent growth in Sweden was mainly driven by high demand in public infrastructure and increased market share in classic telecommunications. With a strong orderbook, Sweden is well positioned for continuous growth opportunities going forward.

In spite of growth and improved profitability in Germany, net sales decreased slightly in our Denmark & Germany segment. In Denmark we had a positive development of our Power services, especially in Battery Energy Storage Systems, BESS, but also in streetlighting. The growth in Power is, however, not fully compensating for declining volumes in Communication. Throughout the year, measures have been taken to mitigate the weaker Communication performance in Denmark, including rightsizing of the operations. On a positive note, sales efforts resulted in a major increase in the total contract and orderbook value.

In Norway, our efforts to expand the customer base are yielding positive results, especially in offshore and defense. There is also an increased demand for maintenance and upgrade services from a wide range of customers. This positive development is, however, not mitigating the decline in telecommunications. Our continuous focus on margin and profitability rather than on volumes has now resulted in two quarters in a row with improved profitability. We see clear effects of the turnaround and going forward an increasing focus will be on growth.

We are well positioned to develop our leading role in critical infrastructure, which becomes increasingly important given both geopolitical developments and other external factors such as climate change. In the previous quarter I lifted our colleagues' dedication after the storm Amy in Norway and this time I want to highlight the impressive and relentless work performed by more than 100 of our technicians in Finland in connection to the major storm Hannes that hit Finland in December.

Increased orderbook combined with a promising market outlook, especially when it comes to our new and adjacent business in data centers, solar and energy storage provides strong confidence for the future. 2025 was the year when Eltel really started to gain momentum, as our strategic initiatives bore fruit on all markets and growth in New business accelerated. As progress is picking up speed, I am confident that we will reach our profitability target of 5% within 12 to 18 months.

None of this would have been, and will continue to be, possible without the dedicated efforts of our people. I want to thank all my engaged colleagues throughout Eltel. Thank you all for securing the critical infrastructure of our society – every day. The work you do is more important and more urgent than ever.

Håkan Dahlström, President and CEO

1) Excluding restructuring costs.

October–December 2025

Net sales increased by EUR 1.0 million, or 1.0%, to EUR 102.4 million (101.4). The growth in Power, mainly attributed to Data Center and Solar PV services, compensated for the declining volumes in Communication, which largely was a result from the fiber roll out peak in the previous year.

Adjusted EBITA improved by EUR 0.1 million to EUR 6.4 million (6.3). The adjusted EBITA margin was 6.2 percent (6.2). Improved profitability in Power mitigated the slightly decreased profitability in Communication, leading to a small improvement of the adjusted EBITA.

On 18 December, it was announced that Eltel Finland has been selected by Caruna to replace smart meters across the company's entire network. The contract value is EUR 23.7 million.

January–December 2025

Net sales decreased by EUR 6.7 million, or 1.9%, to EUR 351.1 million (357.7). The strong growth in Power, mainly related to Solar PV and Data Center services, did not fully compensate the net sales decrease in Communication, due to fiber-tothe home rollout volumes declining from their peak in the previous year.

Adjusted EBITA improved by EUR 4.6 million to EUR 20.3 million (15.7). The adjusted EBITA margin was 5.8% (4.4). Both Power and Communication contributed to keeping the profitability at good levels in spite of the declining volumes in Communication.

October–December 2025

Net sales increased by EUR 15.3 million, or 25.7%, to EUR 74.8 million (59.5). Growth in local currency was 19.6%. Both Communication and Power contributed to the strong growth. In Communication, the increased net sales were mainly attributed to a continued high demand within telecommunications and public infrastructure and in Power, growth was mainly related to the Smart Grids business.

Adjusted EBITA increased to EUR 3.9 million (2.5). The adjusted EBITA margin was 5.3% (4.2). Both Communication and Power contributed to increased adjusted EBITA and adjusted EBITA margin, thanks to increased volumes and operational efficiency.

January–December 2025

Net sales increased by EUR 27.3 million, or 12.9%, to EUR 239.2 million (211.8). Growth in local currency was 9.1%. Net sales increased in Communication, driven by public infrastructure and telecommunications. Power net sales declined, mainly due to project phasing in Smart Grids, not fully compensated by the good growth in Solar PV.

Adjusted EBITA increased to EUR 7.7 million (6.1). The adjusted EBITA margin was 3.2% (2.9). Positive volume development and operational excellence in Communication were the main contributors to the improved profitability.

October-December 2025

Net sales decreased by EUR 0.8 million, or 2.2%, to EUR 35.0 million (35.8). Net sales increased in Power especially in Smart Grids and Battery Energy Storage Systems, BESS, but could not fully compensate for declining volumes in Communication. The Communication decrease was partly due to a contract ending.

Adjusted EBITA was EUR 0.8 million (2.5). The adjusted EBITA margin was 2.4% (7.1). Declining volumes in Communication had a negative impact also on profitability.

In the quarter, Denmark has taken further measures to mitigate the weaker Communication performance, including right-sizing of the operations, which has burdened the result.

January-December 2025

Net sales decreased by EUR 3.9 million, or 3.0%, to EUR 125.6 million (129.6). Net sales increased in Power especially in Smart Grids and BESS. Declining volumes in Communication, partly due to a contract ending, was the main reason for the overall decrease.

Adjusted EBITA was EUR 5.9 million (6.5). The adjusted EBITA margin was 4.7% (5.0). In spite of improved profitability in Power, the adjusted EBITA decreased slightly. Declining volumes in Communication had a negative impact on the full year profitability.

Throughout the year, Denmark has taken measures to mitigate the weaker Communication performance, including rightsizing of the operations, which has burdened the result.

To simplify our operational structure and leverage our Danish management, the segment structure has been updated from 1 January 2025.

October–December 2025

Net sales decreased by EUR 3.3 million, or 11.2%, to EUR 26.5 million (29.8). Net sales decline in local currency was 11.7%. Even though net sales from new customers grew, this did not mitigate the lower volumes from telecommunications operators.

Adjusted EBITA increased by EUR 2.3 million to EUR 0.0 million (-2.3). The adjusted EBITA margin was 0.1% (-7.7). Improved profitability driven by operational efficiency, resulted in a positive adjusted EBITA for the second quarter in a row.

January–December 2025

Net sales decreased by EUR 14.9 million, or 13.0%, to EUR 100.0 million (114.9). Net sales decline in local currency was 12.4%. Declining volumes from telecommunications operators burdened net sales throughout the year, even though net sales from new customers yielded results.

Adjusted EBITA increased by EUR 3.9 million to EUR -1.8 million (-5.7). The adjusted EBITA margin was -1.8% (-4.9). Improved profitability driven by operational efficiency, resulted in a positive adjusted EBITA for the second half of the year, whereas the full year adjusted EBITA was negative.

Rightsizing the operations for future market demands, including a restructuring process with a reduction of employees and fleet, continued in 2025 and was finalized in Q2, with some further adjustments made in Q3. In line with Eltel's strategy, the focus has been, and will continue to be, on margin and profitability rather than volumes.

Utilization of short-term financing decreased by EUR 2.0 million (decrease of 25.5). Payments of lease liabilities were EUR 6.8 million (6.9). In October-December 2024 term loans were amortized by EUR 1.0 million.

January–December 2025

Cash flow from operating activities was EUR 32.0 million (27.5). Main items included EBITDA EUR 49.1 million (16.7), cash flow from change in net working capital EUR -3.5 million (-2.5), financial items EUR -12.7 million (-12.4) and income taxes EUR -2.0 million (-0.9). Cash flow from financial items and income taxes is impacted by timing differences between income statement and payments. January-December 2024 included EUR 22.8 million adjustment for gain/loss on sale of assets and business impact from divestment of the Polish High Voltage business.

Cash flow has historically displayed a strong seasonal pattern, with weaker cash flow recorded during the period until the end of the third quarter due to higher production activity. Eltel's net working capital level is also impacted by phasing of projects. These projects, and delays in them, might result in continued tie up of working capital and can create volatility in the net working capital also going forward.

Net cash flow from investing activities was EUR -5.0 million (-6.6) from net capital expenditure on machinery and equipment as well as advances paid on intangible assets in January-December 2025. January-December 2024 included EUR -4.6 million cash flow impact from divestment of the Polish High Voltage business and net capital expenditure on machinery and equipment EUR -2.0 million.

Cash flow from financing activities was EUR -4.5 million (-24.0). Net proceeds from issuance of bond amounted to EUR 127.1 million, repurchase of the hybrid bond amounted to EUR 26.6 million and payment of interest for the hybrid bond amounted to EUR 3.3 million (3.4). See page 11 for more information. Utilization of short-term financing decreased by EUR 53.6 million mostly due to repayment of former revolving credit facility in Q3 2025 (increase of 8.9). Amortization and prepayment of the remaining term loans amounted to EUR 20.0 million (amortization 4.0) and payments of lease liabilities were EUR 27.7 million (25.2).

{10}------------------------------------------------

Financial position, cash and cash equivalents

In June 2025, Eltel issued a EUR 130 million senior secured four-year floating rate bond. The net proceeds from the bond were used for the repayment of the remaining term loans, revolving credit facility, and the hybrid bond as well as for general corporate purposes.

In June 2025 EUR 25.3 million was used to repurchase the hybrid bond and on 15 July 2025, the old term loans and the revolving credit facility loans were repaid. Additionally, a new super senior revolving credit facility of EUR 60 million became effective. EUR 15 million account overdrafts have been carved out of the super senior revolving credit facility. The Group has also access to a commercial paper program subject to restrictions of the terms of the bond. The refinancing simplifies the financing structure of Eltel and improves the liquidity of the Group.

During Q4 2025 the remaining hybrid bond was repurchased. The total amount used for the repurchase was EUR 26.6 million during January-December 2025.

On 9 December, Eltel published bond prospectus and applied for listing its bonds on Nasdaq Stockholm. On 19 December a written procedure was initiated and on 15 January 2026 the successful completion of Written Procedure was announced.

Other information

Dividend distribution

The Board proposes that no dividend will be paid for the year 2025.

Risks and uncertainty factors

Current market volatility and the unpredictability of customer investment volumes may have a negative impact on Eltel's net sales development. High dependency on one key customer in Norway may have a significant impact on the net sales, profitability and operations of the Norwegian segment. Global uncertainty may cause delays in investment decisions also in New business where market financing is prevalent.

Eltel performed an impairment test of goodwill showing that there was no impairment in Q4 2025. Eltel follows any triggering events and impairment tests are conducted in case of any indicators of impairment arise.

Materialization of business risks may lead to breach of leverage covenant under the existing financing agreement. Seasonal variation in Eltel's operations and related working capital build-up may also expose the company to liquidity risk.

For additional information regarding risks and uncertainties, please refer to Eltel's 2024 Annual Report which was published on 26 March 2025 and is available on Eltel's website at www.eltelgroup.com.

Large agreements announced during and after the reporting period

On 18 December, it was announced that Eltel Finland has been selected by Caruna to replace smart meters across the company's entire network. The contract value is EUR 23.7 million.

Related party transactions

During the quarter, no significant transactions took place between Eltel and related parties.

Seasonality

Eltel's businesses are generally characterized by seasonal patterns and cyclicality of the project business that adds volatility to net sales, adjusted EBITA and cash flow. Seasonality is normally driven by a number of factors, including weather conditions, the timing of customer orders and completion of work phases. The Eltel Group has historically reported higher revenues and operating profit in the second half of the year. Cash flow has historically displayed a strong seasonal pattern, with weaker cash flow recorded during the period until the end of the third quarter due to higher production activity. At the end of the year, as production volumes decrease as a result of completion of projects, cash flow has normally been stronger. For more details, please refer to quarterly key financial figures for the Group on page 19.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

Accounting principles

This condensed interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable regulations in the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The accounting principles adopted are the same with those of the Group's and the Parent Company's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

The new IFRS standards and amendments effective for the first time for 2025 financial year did not have any impact on Group's financial statements.

New segment structure

To simplify our operational structure and leverage our Danish management, the segment structure has been updated from 1 January 2025. The operations in Denmark and Germany are presented in one segment named Denmark & Germany. Smart Grids Germany was presented outside segments under Other business until 31 December 2024. The remaining part of the Other business and Group Functions have been combined and named as Group Support Functions. Starting from 1 January 2025 the segments are Finland, Sweden, Denmark & Germany and Norway. The Group Support Functions includes Group Functions and Lithuania as well as closing activities for Power Transmission International and High Voltage Poland until its divestment in Q2 2024.

Eltel refinancing

In June 2025, Eltel issued a EUR 130 million senior secured four-year floating rate bond. The net proceeds from the bond were used for the repayment of the remaining term loans, revolving credit facility, and the hybrid bond as well as for general corporate purposes.

In June 2025 EUR 25.3 million was used to repurchase the hybrid bond and on 15 July 2025, the old term loans and the revolving credit facility loans were repaid. Additionally, a new super senior revolving credit facility of EUR 60 million became effective. EUR 15 million overdraft facilities have been carved out of the super senior revolving facility. The Group has also access to a commercial paper program subject to restrictions of the terms of the bond. The refinancing simplifies the financing structure of Eltel and improves the liquidity of the group.

During Q4 2025 the remaining hybrid bond was repurchased. The total amount used for the repurchase was EUR 26.6 million during January-December 2025.

On 9 December, Eltel published bond prospectus and applied for listing its bonds on Nasdaq Stockholm. On 19 December a written procedure was initiated and on 15 January 2026 the successful completion of Written Procedure was announced.

The interest rate risk of the EUR 130 million floating rate bond has been hedged with interest rate swaps for the amount of EUR 100 million, which is in line with the group's finance policy.

The Group applies cash flow hedge accounting to these interest rate swaps which are classified as derivative instruments hedge accounted. The effective portion of gains and losses from the derivative instruments under cash flow hedge accounting is recognized in other comprehensive income under hedging reserve. The cumulative gain or loss is transferred to profit or loss when the hedged items affect profit or loss. The ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss in other income or expenses. In 2025, EUR 0.1 million was recognized in the hedging reserve.

Financial assets recognized at fair value through profit and loss comprise solely derivatives. Fair values of the derivative instruments are based on market values (level 2 observable input information) at balance sheet date.

Fair value of financial instruments measured at cost

The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities is a reasonable approximation of their fair value. Changes in the market interest rates are reflected in the future interest flows of interest-bearing debt within a short period.
