Following a difficult start to the year, global markets have regained strength - yet the outlook remains uncertain. Against this backdrop, EQT continues to deliver across all fronts: performance, exits and fundraising. EQT's execution during the first half of 2025 sets us apart and underscores the strength, resilience, and diversification of our platform. Year-to-date, we announced realizations of €13 billion - more than triple the volume from a year earlier. We closed EQT Infrastructure VI at its hard cap, reached a strong first close for BPEA IX, and launched EQT XI. EQT now ranks as the second-largest private equity firm globally by capital raised and the largest alternative investment platform in Europe across private equity, infrastructure, and real estate1• Our global scale, thematic investment approach, and client-first mindset position us to stay at the forefront of the private markets industry.
I'm proud to present EQT's half-year report 2025 - my first as CEO. While market sentiment has rebounded since 01, there has been a mindset shift among private market investors: diversification is no longer optional - it's imperative. Amid geopolitical uncertainty and technological change driven by Al, capital flows are shifting as clients are reassessing sources of value creation and the importance of geographical diversification. In this environment, EQT's scale, agility, and global platform stand out.
We are on a secular growth trajectory, as more economic value continues to shift into private markets. The private markets industry is a cyclical growth industry and is currently facing near term headwinds on the back of muted realizations and a more challenging fundraising environment. The long-term drivers of the industry however remain intact; clients are seeking superior longterm risk adjusted returns and diversification. As the private markets industry continues to grow, many investors are also increasingly looking for flexibility and liquidity and we see a convergence of public and private markets on the back of the rising influence of private wealth .
For over three decades, EQT has built the capabilities to thrive in this environment: deep sector expertise, active ownership, systematic value creation and a technology-forward mindset. Our scale across Europe, North America and Asia Pacific enables us to invest capital with conviction and insight. In Europe, we're encouraged by policy momentum aimed at improving competitiveness and deepening capital markets. North America remains an attractive growth opportunity for EQT, and we continue to grow our presence in what is the largest market globally for the alternative assets industry. And in Asia Pacific - where EQT is among the largest and most experienced private markets investors - structural growth and under-managed capital pools continue to create long-term opportunities. India, our most active market in the region, exemplifies this: its buyout market is projected to triple to more than \$50 billion by 2030, offering a substantial opportunity for growth.
EQT continues to drive strong performance across the platform, albeit partly offset by FX effects for the USO-based investments. All our key funds remain on or above plan, with several recent investments outperforming expectations.

Our ability to build world class companies and assets provides exit optionality, even in more complex market conditions. We continue to invest into o.ur monetization capabilities, and we work systematically with portfolio construction and prioritization of exits and liquidity events.
Importantly, we are delivering strong cash returns for our clients. Looking at the past 12 months, we have announced realisations of €20 billion, with realized returns across the key funds of 2.3x.
Year to date we have announced €13 billion in exits - more than triple the volume during the first half of last year. Notable transactions included the sale of Pioneer Corporation in Japan and Acumatica in the US, the "private IPO" and re-investment into Nord Anglia. Another important transaction was the stake sale in IFS allowing us to return capital to clients, derisk fund performanc~, while retaining upside. In the public markets, we executed a number of realizations in listed holdings, and successfully IPOd Enity.
Our performance, combined with strong distributions to clients, has supported continued fundraising momentum: EQT Infrastructure VI closed at €21.5 billion, hitting hard cap (35% above its predecessor), BPEA IX reached a strong first close at over \$10 billion and EQT XI launched with a target of €23 billion, €3 billion larger than its predecessor's. In a consolidating market, we are seeing a flight to quality, with scaled, consistent performers like EQT viewed as longterm partners of choice.
On the investment side, we maintained a disciplined investment pace, putting almost €7 billion to work across a diversified set of themes and geographies. Highlights included public-to-private tenders in Sweden and France, one being Fortnox: a leading cloudbased accounting software and integrated financial services platform that leverages Al to automate tasks and enhance efficiency for SMEs. EQT Infrastructure invested in Seven Seas and Eagle Railcar Services in the US, and EQT Private Capital announced Europa Biosite, a new healthcare investment in Europe. The investment pace in our Real Estate platform was somewhat lower, reflecting a continued challenging market environment for the asset class.
While institutional capital remains the largest source of growth in private markets, private wealth is a strategic priority and a longterm growth opportunity for EQT.
We continue to deepen longstanding partnerships with many of the world's most prominent sovereign wealth and pension funds. Over the past twelve months, we welcomed over 60 new institutional clients. At the same time, many of our long-term clients are increasingly investing across multiple strategies with EQT as they consolidate relationships with scaled platforms in the private markets industry with strong track records.
As part of our ambition to be the most attractive and trusted counterparty in private markets - whether for clients, intermediaries, sellers or buyers - we have brought together our Client Relations and Capital Raising teams with our Capital Markets function. This integration strengthens our ability to serve our clients, to drive innovation and have a more holistic approach to client liquidity, coinvestments and realizations.
At the same time, we reached several important milestones in our private wealth journey, underscoring rising demand from high-networth individuals and retail investors for high-quality, institutionally managed private market exposure. We now manage four active evergreen vehicles - two launched this year - with a fifth in development. EQT Nexus is now available in over 20 countries, up from five one year ago. During the period, EQT Nexus raised more than €500 million, reaching an AUM of approximately €1.4 billion. We also introduced Nexus Infrastructure, and launched our US private equity evergreen product in July with a private bank as the first distributor.
As the private wealth segment continues to grow, EQT is wellpositioned to lead the development of this part of the industry. We are focused on maintaining best-in-class underwriting standards based on our global sourcing and systematic value creation - and investing into the EQT brand and our distribution network.
Our ambition is clear: to be the most attractive and forward-leaning partner in private markets for both institutional and private wealth clients. That means continuously sharpening our thematic investment approach and active ownership model to deliver performance. It also means reimagining how we work with clients, investing and realizing capital. From co-investments, to private IPOs, to other liquidity solutions, EQT is expanding the ways we deliver performance and liquidity to institutional and private wealth clients.
EQT has been at the forefront of industry consolidation, using our capital and balance sheet to build a global platform. We think consolidation will only accelerate from here, paced by the concentration of capital towards larger managers, the scale required to serve clients across the globe, and the resources needed to be at t.he forefront of innovation and technological shifts including Al. We will continue to grow our platform with discipline, including into adJacent areas where we can add differentiated value, and be an even stronger counterpart to our clients.
In the Executive Committee, we have decided to take further action during the second half of the year to create an even more streamlined and high-performing organization. We remain committed to reaching a fee-related EBITDA margin of more than 55%, whilst investing into our priority growth areas. We will build our teams across Europe, Asia and the US, grow our infrastructure platform, strengthen our Al capabilities, our distribution and brand, and drive innovation that will define the next generation of private markets leadership.
I am excited about what lies ahead. With a truly global platform, a values-driven culture and a long-term vision, we are committed to building an even stronger EQT - together with our clients, portfolio companies and partners - in the years to come.

Adjustment items affecting EBITDA in Hl 2024 amounted to €48m and relates to:
Depreciation and amortization amounted to €38m (€38m), primarily related to facility lease agreements and placement agent fees. Amortization of acquisition related intangible assets amounted to €179m (€182m) and relates to amortization of identified surplus values in performed acquisitions.
Net financial income and expenses amounted to €10m (€11m). This is primarily comprised of interest expenses of -€22m (-€22m) relating to the sustainability-linked bonds issued by EQT AB in April 2022 and May 2021, interest income as well as currency translation differences.
Income tax amounted to -€88m (-€72m).
Net income for the period increased to €346m (€282m). Adjustment items affecting net income, including tax effects, amounted to €337m (€218m). Adjusted Net Income for the period amounted to €682m (€500m).

Comments relate to 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024)
Goodwill and Other intangible assets amounted to €4,514m (€5,164m). The decrease of €649m is mainly driven by amortization and exchange rate differences.
Property, plant and equipment amounted to €242m (€252m).
Current assets amounted to €6,218m (€5,954m). The increase is mainly driven by an increase in Financial investments including carried interest which increased by €778m to €5,080m (€4,302m) primarily driven by increased investments from EQT AB Group into EQT funds, strategic investments to support new initiatives and fair value increase relating to carried interest, see Note 3.
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to €499m (€1,024m). Net debt amounted to €1,928m (€976m in net debt). For further information please refer to section "Alternative performance measures (APM)".
Equity decreased to €7,307m (€8,096m). The decrease is mainly explained by in 2025, decided dividend and repurchase of own shares which is partly offset by current period net income.
Non-current liabilities amounted to €2,850m (€2,516m). Non-current liabilities increased as a result of the \$500m bond issued as of 1 of May 2025, see Significant events during the period.
Current liabilities amounted to €908m (€869m).
The parent company's profit before tax amounted to SEK 2,301m (SEK 1,932m). The increase is mainly explained by increased revenues and exchange rate differences.
Significant events and transactions
On 17 February 2025, EQT announced that the Board of Directors had appointed Per Franzen as new CEO and Managing Partner, effective as of the Annual Shareholders' Meeting on 27 May 2025.
During the period, EQT Infrastructure VI closed at €21.5 billion in total commitments, including €21.3 billion in feegenerating assets under management, exceeding the €20 billion target and hitting hard-cap. This represents a 35% increase on the fund's predecessor, owing to strong support from both existing and new investors.
EQT Private Capital Asia's BPEA Private Equity Fund IX ("BPEA IX") was activated on 1 March 2025 and held its first close in April. As of 30 June 2025, it had received feegenerating commitments of \$10.7 billion.
As previously communicated, EQT intends to execute share buyback programs twice a year to offset, over time, the dilution impact from EQT's equity incentive programs. During the period, EQT repurchased 4.9 million shares. A further buyback program comprising up to 5.5 million shares will be carried out between 18 July and 26 September 2025.
On 1 May 2025, EQT announced that it had priced its inaugural offering of \$500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.850% Senior Notes due 2035 at a price equal to 99.783% of the aggregate principal amount thereof. Interest will be payable semi-annually. EQT intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.
As of 17 July 2025, BPEA IX had received commitments of \$11.4 billion. Fundraising is expected to materially conclude before year-end, and the fund is expected to reach its \$14.5 billion hard cap upon final close in 2026.
No significant related party transactions have occurred during the period.
There have been no significant changes in pledged assets and contingent liabilities compared to the latest annual report.
The EQT AB Group is exposed to a number of business, strategic, legal, tax, operational and financial risks. The financial risks are related to factors such as credit, liquidity, interest, revaluation and foreign exchange risks, which could lead to financial losses if not managed properly. Financial risks are reported to the CFO on a regular basis to ensure they remain in line with the EQT AB Group's risk profile. No significant changes have occurred since the publication of the annual report.

To the Board of Directors of EQT AB corporate registration number 556849-4180
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of EQT AB (publ) as of 30 June 2025 and the sixmonth 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 the 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.

The CEO of EQT AB Group has been identified as the chief operating decision maker. EQT AB Group is divided into operating segments based on how the CEO reviews and evaluates the operation. The operating segments correspond to the internal reporting used to assess performance and to allocate resources.
EQT's operations are divided into two business segments: Private Capital and Real Assets. The operations of both business segments consist of providing investment management services in the private investment markets. The investment management services comprise i.a. structuring and investment advice, as well as reporting and administrative services.
The business segment Private Capital consists of the strategies EQT Ventures, EQT Life Sciences, EQT Healthcare Growth, EQT Growth, EQT Private Equity, EQT Private Capital Asia and EQT Future. The business segment Real Assets consists of the strategies EQT Value-Add Infrastructure, EQT Active Core Infrastructure, EQT Transition Infrastructure and EQT Real Estate.
The CEO assesses the operating segments based on the line items presented below, primarily on Revenue and Gross segment results. Segment Revenue/ Adjusted Revenue have been adjusted whereby carried interest is only recognized after applying a valuation buffer (30-50%) on the unrealized part of the underlying fund valuations. Accordingly, Total Revenue according to IFRS Accounting Standards reflects the carried interest without the application of a valuation buffer and represents the short term impact of fund valuation changes.
Total Segment Revenue/Adjusted Revenue represents the amount of carried interest expected to be converted to cash in a mid term perspective ( a more prudent revenue recognition model). The difference between Total Revenue (according to IFRS Accounting Standards) and Adjusted Revenue/Total Segment Revenue is the application of valuation buffer (30-50%) on the unrealized part of the underlying fund valuations.
Expenses directly incurred by each respective business segment are included in the Gross segment result, whereas items reported under Central have not been allocated to any business segment. Central consists of EQT AB Group Management, Client Relations and Capital Raising, Fund Operations, EQT Digital and other specialist teams such as HR and Group Finance.
Adjustment items consists of revenue adjustments (see above) as well as non-cash adjustments and items affecting comparability.

EQT has commitments of future cash outflows based on signed agreements relating to committed amounts regarding financial investments. At 30 June 2025, the EQT AB Group had remaining commitments to invest in multiple EQT funds and fund related vehicles of a total amount of €375m (€446m at year-end). The commitments are called over time, normally between one to five years following the commitment.
Fair value is the price that would be received if an asset was sold, or paid if a liability was transferred in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. EQT AB Group measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements:
EQT AB Group measures investments, including carried interest, at fair value in the balance sheet. Carried interest is a part of a financial instrument that the EQT AB Group acquires in an arm's length transaction through its holdings in the Special Limited Partners (SLP). The return on carried interest is fully dependent on the performance of the relevant fund and is either payable at the end of the life of the fund or paid as installments at the time of realization within each fund, or a combination thereof.
From a valuation perspective carried interest is valued as a separate component of the investment in the SLP. The value of the financial investments related to carried interest is normally based on a calculation of the accrued allocation of carried interest to EQT for each fund pursuant to the fund agreements as if all underlying investments were realized at the current fair value as of such date, i.e., the net asset value of the fund. In order to further validate the value EQT also takes into consideration additional historical information such as fund performance and deployment to date as well as forward looking information such as the expected future deployment of the fund including but not limited to the expected future pattern of drawdowns, the expected holding period of investments and lifetime of the fund. As some of the inputs in the model are not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
The table below shows a reconciliation of level 3 fair values for financial investments including carried interest.

1) whereof € 1,476m relates to strategic investments to support new initiatives.
From an EQT AB Group perspective, financial investments, including carried interest, are measured at fair value normally by applying their relative share of the net asset values. A reasonably possible change of+/- 10% in the net asset value would affect the fair value of the investments including carried interest at 30 June 2025 with approximately +€700m or -€1,000m ( +€700m or -€800m) respectively whereof carried interest represents +€500m or -€700m ( +€600m or -€700m) respectively. The effects of any changes in fair value, excluding investments and realizations, would be recognized in the income statement.
Although the EQT AB Group believes that its estimates of fair values are appropriate, the use of different methodologies and different unobservable inputs could lead to different measurements of fair value. No other changes in unobservable input factors would result in any material changes in fair value.
EQT AB has issued sustainability-linked bonds ( classified as an interest-bearing liability in the balance sheet) with fixed coupon rates linked to ESG-related objectives as well as a USO bond of \$500m (also classified as an interest-bearing liability in the balance sheet) with a fixed coupon rate. Fair value as of 30 June 2025 amounts to €2,344m (carrying amount: €2,427m). EQT AB Group's other financial instruments consist mainly of short-term receivables, accounts payable, deposits in commercial banks. The Group considers the carrying amounts of those financial instruments to be reasonable approximations of their fair values.

The EQT Share Program (established in 2023) consists of ordinary shares in EQT AB. The Program is divided into five separate annual grants, each subject to a one-year performance period and a three-year holding period. Depending on the achievement of certain performance targets during the performance year, an amount may be awarded which after the performance period is settled in the total number of outstanding shares in EQT AB that corresponds to the amount awarded. With certain limited exceptions, no vesting conditions apply during the three-year holding period. Based on the number of shares as of 31 December 2022, the maximum dilution for the EQT Share Program is one percent in total. EQT intends, over time, to repurchase shares to offset the dilution related to the EQT Share Program1.
The EQT Option Program ( established in 2023) consists of options which upon exercise entitle the option holders to acquire ordinary shares in EQT AB. The Program is divided into five separate annual grants, each subject to a one-year performance period and a three-year holding period. Depending on the achievement of certain performance targets during the performance year, an amount may be awarded which after the performance period is settled in the number of options that corresponds to the amount awarded. With certain limited exceptions, no vesting conditions apply during the three-year holding period. The option exercise period commences after the holding period. Based on the number of shares as of 31 December 2022, the maximum dilution for the EQT Option Program is four percent in total. EQT intends, over time, to repurchase shares to offset the dilution related to the EQT Option Program1.

Performance in relation to targets for Adjusted Revenue growth, Adjusted EBITDA margin and a sustainability assessment has resulted in a gross share grant level of €19m for Hl 2025 (€19m) of which €9m (€10m) was cash cost.
The granting of options is based on participants' individual fulfilment of targets in the performance framework including (i) Building and developing cross-platform collaboration, (ii) Responsible and appropriate cost management, (iii) Growth from a business line focused management to firm wide leadership, (iv) Tangible contribution to the sustainability goals of the company,
4) Indicative figures assuming a share price of SEK 316 (end Hl 2025) EQT AB (publ) Half-year Report 2025 I 27 and a corresponding option value of SEK 72. To be granted in Feb 2026.
(v) Developing new business areas for EQT. Total grant cost recognized in Hl 2025 was €24m (€40m) of which none (none) was cash cost.
The total non-cash cost for the incentive programs Hl 2025 amounts to €36m (€60m) whereof €34m (€50m) relates to granted amounts as of Hl 2025 and €1m (€10m) relates to additional non-cash cost such as social charges for which cash payment is contingent on a gain and only due at exercise.
For performance year 2024, 752,016 shares were granted within the EQT share program, corresponding to a dilution impact of 0.06% and 8,238,670 options with a strike price of SEK 360 were granted within the EQT option program. The option program will only be dilutive in case the EQT AB share price at exercise is above the share price at grant. The exercise price is capped at 4x the share price at grant. Any gain above the share price at grant and up to the cap will be settled in shares (net strike mechanism). As such, dilution in relation to options granted is capped at 75% of the number of total options granted, or 0.80%. Assuming a share price corresponding to end Hl 2025 of SEK 316, current total dilution for options granted would be 0.02%
For the first half of performance year 2025, assuming the cost recorded as of Hl 2025 and a share price corresponding to 30 June 2025 of SEK 316, 344,810 shares3 and 3,746,014 options4 would be granted, respectively. As a result, the dilution impact from the Share program would be 0.03%. Max dilution in relation to the option program Hl 2025 is capped at 75% of the number of options granted, or 0.24%.

To increase the understanding of the development of the operations and the financial position of EQT AB Group, EQT presents some alternative performance measures in addition to financial measures defined by IFRS Accounting Standards. EQT believes these measures provide a better understanding of the trends of the financial performance and that such measures, which are not calculated in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards are useful information to investors combined with other measures that are calculated in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.
These alternative performance measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute to performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. In addition, such measures, as defined by EQT, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
