I am very pleased to report a strong quarter with progress in all our strategic areas. We have improved our profitability, to an adjusted EBITA margin of 4.3%, broadened our customer base, especially in Power, and continued to grow in our new business areas, in particularly in Solar PV and Data Center.
This is our ninth quarter of improved adjusted EBITA year on year, and in a ten-year perspective we have achieved an all-time high in this respect. It is also very nice to see that, compared to last year, all our segments deliver a stronger adjusted EBITA year-to-date.
Stable net sales were delivered by Sweden, Finland and Denmark & Germany but due to the decline in Norway, net sales were slightly down to EUR 208.2 million (210.3). Our gross profit reached EUR 27.8 million, with a gross margin of 13.3%, up from 11.4% previously. The adjusted EBITA margin also improved to 4.3% from 3.9%, where Finland was the largest contributor. I am also very happy to be able to report an improved profitability for Norway. There is a lot of work that remains to be done but this is evidence that our measures have had effect. Our total contract value (TCV) stands at EUR 176.2 million, with new business accounting for EUR 41.8 million, representing almost 24% of the total.
In Power we have observed increased activity, particularly in our newer business areas such as Solar PV and Data Centers. Communication has seen less activity overall, except in Sweden, where demand in public infrastructure, including defense, has driven positive development.
In Finland, net sales have remained stable, with growth in the Power sector fully compensating for declining volumes in Communication. Power has seen significant growth, mainly due to continuous expansion in Solar PV. Two contracts with poor profitability have been renewed with new, healthy commercial terms. Volumes in Communication have declined, which was expected due to the peak in the fiber-tothe-home business in 2024. In Finland we have achieved our eighth consecutive quarter of improved adjusted EBITA yearover-year. Eltel Finland is a forerunner in our transformation towards a broader business scope, strongly contributing to the quarterly result. Furthermore, our strong pipeline, especially in new business areas such as Solar PV, BESS, Battery Energy Storage Systems, and Data Center, makes me confident with the very positive development in these areas.
Sweden achieved net sales growth, despite exceptionally good growth in Q3 2024. This is the eighth consecutive quarter with net sales growth. Communication had increased net sales in both public infrastructure and telecommunications. Although there has been a decline in Power due to a remarkably strong quarter in 2024, year-to-date performance is almost on par. Positive volume development and operational excellence in Communication have strongly improved profitability.
In Denmark & Germany, declining volumes in Communication and contract endings have resulted in slightly decreased net sales. Power grew, and BESS in particular performed well, although not compensating for the decline in Communication. Operational excellence measures have helped maintain profitability at a decent level. The volume shift from Communication to Power is still noticeable, although there are some positive signs in the fiber market.
Norway has shown improved profitability driven by a decisive execution of operational excellence, resulting in a positive adjusted EBITA for the quarter. A strong focus on broadening the customer base, particularly in public infrastructure, is yielding some result. However, growth in revenue from new customers has not mitigated the decline in traditional telecommunications volumes.
I would like to extend my gratitude to all our colleagues who play a crucial role in restoring and securing critical infrastructure. This became especially evident when storm Amy recently hit large parts of Scandinavia, especially Norway. Even before the storm reached the mainland, Eltel Norway mobilized resources across the country. The restoration work is still ongoing, and our colleagues are working tirelessly alongside customers and other suppliers to ensure that the lifelines of our society are restored.
Our society also need more green energy. I'm very proud of our colleagues' ongoing work in Finland's second largest solar park in Hallanvahti, providing energy to 18,000 households when finalised 2026 and a great proof of Eltel's contribution to the green transition. This dedication exemplifies what Eltel stands for: creating, maintaining and ensuring resilient critical infrastructure and mitigating any disturbances. I want to thank all our colleagues across all markets for their daily contributions to this important task.

Eltel is the leading service provider for critical infrastructure that enables renewable energy and high-performing communication networks. Operations are conducted in the Nordic countries, Germany, Poland (a Shared Services Center) and Lithuania within country-based organizations that have full responsibility for their financial results.
Within business area Communication, Eltel establishes networks and supports the societal need for greater digitalization. We provide design, installations, upgrades and maintenance services mainly to mobile and fixed communication network owners and operators and increasingly to private and public sector.
Within business area Power, Eltel enables the transition to renewable energy and the electrification of society. We provide maintenance and upgrade services to power distribution and transmission, smart grids and turnkey solutions in e-Mobility, Solar PV, wind energy and battery energy storage systems.
With our expertise in both Communication and Power we are well equipped to provide comprehensive solutions for Data Centers, an area which we entered in 2024 and now constitutes an important and growing part of new business.
Through our strategy, we build the foundation for sustainable profitable growth. This involves:
The strategy will enable Eltel to ensure long-term value creation for our shareholders, customers, employees and society at large.

1) Excluding restructuring costs.
Net sales increased by EUR 0.2 million, or 0.2%, to EUR 101.5 million (101.3). Power had significant growth, in both Solar PV and Power Distribution, which compensated for declining net sales in Communication, driven by lower volumes in telecommunications.
Adjusted EBITA improved by EUR 1.5 million to EUR 8.8 million (7.3). The adjusted EBITA margin was 8.7% (7.2) and both Communication and Power contributed to the margin increase.
On 12 September, it was announced that Eltel has been awarded a contract to build grid connections for Singaporebased data center developer DayOne's new Data Center in Lahti, Finland. The contract value is estimated to EUR 38 million.
On 15 September, it was announced that Eltel and Caruna, the largest Finnish electricity distribution company, signed a four-year frame agreement worth about EUR 81 million for the entire contract period including option years.
Net sales decreased by EUR 7.7 million, or 3.0%, to EUR 248.7 million (256.3). The main reason for the decline was the reduced volumes in Communication, caused by lower demand in FTTH in particular. Even though growth in Power was strong, especially in Solar PV, this did not compensate for the decline in Communication net sales.
Adjusted EBITA improved by EUR 4.6 million to EUR 13.9 million (9.3). The adjusted EBITA margin was 5.6% (3.6) and, in spite of the lower volumes in Communication, both Power and Communication contributed to the margin increase.

1) Adjusted for currency effects.
Net sales increased by EUR 1.3 million, or 2.6%, to EUR 53.0 million (51.6). Growth in local currency was -0.3%. In light of the remarkably strong growth in Q3 2024, the outcome in the current quarter is especially noteworthy. Net sales in Power faced a decline due to project phasings. Growth was good in Communication, mainly thanks to a continued high demand within public infrastructure and telecommunications.
Adjusted EBITA decreased to EUR 1.0 million (2.2). The adjusted EBITA margin was 1.8% (4.2). Positive volume development and operational excellence in Communication had a positive impact on profitability. This did, however, not fully compensate the decline in Power from an exceptionally strong Q3 2024, due to successful project closings.
On 8 July, it was announced that Eltel has signed a frame agreement with E.ON worth EUR 18.2 million.
Net sales increased by EUR 12.0 million, or 7.9%, to EUR 164.4 million (152.4). Growth in local currency was 5.0%. Net sales increased in Communication, driven by public infrastructure and telecommunications. Power net sales declined, mainly due to project phasing in Smart Grids, partly compensated by good growth in Solar PV.
Adjusted EBITA increased to EUR 3.8 million (3.7). The adjusted EBITA margin was 2.3% (2.4). Operational excellence in Communication was the main contributor to a profitability in par with previous year .

Net sales decreased by EUR 0.2 million, or 0.9%, to EUR 28.7 million (28.9). The growth in Power, especially in BESS, did not fully compensate for the declining net sales in Communication.
Adjusted EBITA was EUR 1.1 million (1.4). The adjusted EBITA margin was 3.9% (4.9). Operational excellence measures contributed to keeping profitability at a decent level.
Net sales decreased by EUR 3.1 million, or 3.3%, to EUR 90.6 million (93.8). In spite of good growth in Power, net sales decreased, as a result of declining volumes in Communication and contract endings in both business areas.
Adjusted EBITA was EUR 5.0 million (4.0). The adjusted EBITA margin was 5.5% (4.3). A favorable business mix, growth in new and adjacent markets and operational excellence secured an improved profitability.

Net sales decreased by EUR 3.3 million, or 12.0%, to EUR 24.4 million (27.8). Net sales decline in local currency was 11.5%. Growing revenues from new customers are not yet mitigating the decline in volumes from traditional telecommunications.
Adjusted EBITA increased by EUR 1.1 million to EUR 0.4 million (-0.7). The adjusted EBITA margin was 1.7% (-2.5). Improved profitability driven by operational efficiency, resulted in a positive adjusted EBITA in the quarter.
Rightsizing the operations for the 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.

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 -1.5 million (-0.9) from net capital expenditure on machinery and equipment as well as advances paid on intangible assets. July-September 2024 included EUR -0.6 million cash flow impact from divestment of the Polish High Voltage business and net capital expenditure on machinery and equipment EUR -0.3 million.
Cash flow from financing activities was EUR -84.4 million (8.1). Payment of interest for the hybrid bond amounted to EUR 0.2 million (3.4). Utilization of short-term financing decreased by EUR 59.5 million mostly due to repayment of former revolving credit facility (increase of 19.0). Prepayment of the remaining term loans amounted to EUR 18.0 million (amortization 1.0) and payments of lease liabilities were EUR 6.7 million (6.2).
Cash flow from operating activities was EUR -9.4 million (-11.5). Main items included EBITDA EUR 33.1 million (4.1), cash flow from change in net working capital EUR -32.0 million (-29.8), financial items EUR -8.9 million (-8.6) and income taxes EUR -0.8 million (-0.2). Cash flow from financial items and income taxes is impacted by timing differences between income statement and payments. January-September 2024 included EUR 22.9 million adjustment for gain/loss on sale of assets and business impact from divestment of the Polish High Voltage business.
Net cash flow from investing activities was EUR -3.6 million (-6.1) from net capital expenditure on machinery and equipment as well as advances paid on intangible assets. January-September 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 -1.5 million.
Cash flow from financing activities was EUR 5.6 million (9.5). Net proceeds from issuance of bond amounted to EUR 127.1 million, repurchase of the hybrid bond amounted to EUR 25.3 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 51.6 million mostly due to repayment of former revolving credit facility (increase of 34.4). Amortization and prepayment of the remaining term loans amounted to EUR 20.0 million (amortization 3.0) and payments of lease liabilities were EUR 20.9 million (18.3).
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.

Current market volatility and the unpredictability of customer investment volumes may have a negative impact on Eltel's net sales development, especially in Communication. General 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 2024. However, the value of goodwill in Norway was sensitive to impairment. Restructuring activities initiated in Norway during Q3 2024 were finalized in Q2 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.
On 8 July, it was announced that Eltel has signed a frame agreement with E.ON worth EUR 18.2 million, regarding comprehensive project contracting in the local networks in four of E.ON's geographical areas.
On 12 September, it was announced that Eltel has been awarded a contract to build grid connections for Singaporebased data center developer DayOne's new Data Center in Lahti, Finland. The contract value is estimated to EUR 38 million.
On 15 September, it was announced that Eltel and Caruna, the largest Finnish electricity distribution company, signed a four-year frame agreement worth about EUR 81 million for the entire contract period including option years.
During the quarter, no significant transactions took place between Eltel and related parties.
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.

To the Board of Directors of Eltel AB (publ)
Corp. id. 556728-6652
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Eltel AB (publ) as of 30 September 2025 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of 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.
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, 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 and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion..
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, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

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.
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.
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.
