Unless otherwise stated, all comparison figures are for the corresponding period previous year. Unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in SEK million. The alternative key figures and definitions that have been used in this report are described on page 29. Due to rounding, some of the tables and calculations in the report are not always exact.
Net sales over the last 12-month period were unchanged and amounted to SEK 6,145 (6,125) million. Profitability, expressed as EBITA margin, reached 7.8 (8.5) percent. The outcome was negatively impacted by effects from the mild winter, and a continued challenging market. This was partly offset by a good contribution from our newly acquired companies. We continue to maintain a strong focus on margin enhancement measures within our subsidiaries. The margin expansion activities in segment Sweden are on track and will make a positive impact during the year.
Net sales amounted to SEK 1,610 (1,657) million in the second quarter, corresponding to growth of -3 percent, of which organic growth amounted to -9 percent and newly acquired companies contributed with 8 percent. EBITA amounted to SEK 145 (143) million in the second quarter, corresponding to an EBITA margin of 9.0 (8.7) percent. The financial results in segments Sweden and Norway were negatively impacted, which is primarily attributable to the residual effects of the mild winter at the start of the quarter. There was a gradual increase in activity throughout the quarter. Segment Other Europe delivered a positive development, with clear improvement from our operations in Finland in particular.
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK -78 (-11) million. The lower level of activity at the beginning of the year negatively impacted cash flow in the second quarter. Indebtedness, expressed as net debt in relation to EBITDA proforma RTM amounted to 2.9 (2.7) times.
We executed our first issue of bonds during the quarter, which strengthening our cash position by SEK 500 million. This has broadened our financing base while also providing us with additional flexibility and support our continued growth – with the acquisition of high-quality businesses remaining a key strategic priority.
June marks the second anniversary of our entry into the German market when we acquired Schmitt & Scalzo in Hessen. Since then, an additional 10 companies in Germany and Switzerland have become part of our Group – something we take great pride in. Our regional office in Munich provides a strong foundation and we have a solid reputation in the market. Growth has followed our set plan and our success stems from goal-oriented, structured efforts. We welcomed Wagner Straßen-, Tief- & Rohrleitungsbau GmbH to the Group during the quarter. The company offers earthworks and landscaping services to a wide spectrum of customers in the Berlin area of Germany. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we also welcomed Tessmer & Sohn Straßenbaugesellschaft mbH to the Group. The company has

"The margin expansion activities in segment Sweden are on track and will make a positive impact during the year."
a full-range offering of services in landscaping and earthworks for customers in the Hanover region of Germany. We warmly welcome them both and I look forward to following their progress with us in the years ahead.
Our stated ambition has been to acquire 8–10 companies during 2025, based on anticipated acquired EBITA of SEK 80–100 million. Already with the first two acquisitions of the year, we are now at the halfway point with this year's EBITA ambition, and are thus maintaining it. In light of the larger size of the companies, the number of acquisitions may be fewer.

The market remained challenging with a relatively unchanged level of activity. Our subsidiaries focused on landscaping are encountering tough competition from construction companies in search of new markets. The demand for green space management and maintenance has remained stable.
Spring and summer conditions prevail during the second quarter of the year, which is high season for most of the Group's companies, all segments and service areas. Weather variations during this time have only had a limited effect on financial performance, since the services that Green Landscaping Group offers also vary with the weather.
Net sales decreased by 3 percent in the quarter and amounted to SEK 1,610 (1,657) million. Organic growth amounted to -9 percent, while acquisitions contributed 8 percent. Changed exchange rates impacted net sales by -2 percent.
The order backlog amounted to SEK 7,558 million, which is an increase compared with the first quarter, but a decrease compared to the same quarter last year (SEK 7,985 million). Its size fluctuates between quarters and it should therefore not be used as a leading indicator over the short term.
EBITA increased by 1 percent in the quarter and amounted to SEK 145 (143) million, corresponding to a margin of 9.0 (8.7) percent. Newly acquired companies with higher profitability than the Group's average contributed to the higher profit margin. Changed exchange rates impacted earnings by -3 percent. Transaction costs associated with acquisitions amounted to SEK -2 (-1) million. Operating profit amounted to SEK 121 (119) million.
Financial items amounted to SEK -36 (-40) million. Financial items were comprised of interest on loans and leasing liabilities for SEK -32 (-35) million, while interest income amounted to SEK 2 (2) million. There has been a revaluation of the liability for additional consideration for a net amount of SEK -2 million (no revaluation previous year). Currency gains amounted to SEK 2 (-2) million, discounting of the liability for additional consideration to SEK -3 (-2) million and other financial items to SEK -2 (-3) million. Tax expense for the quarter was SEK -20 (-21) million. Profit for the quarter amounted to SEK 65 (59) million, which corresponds

to basic earnings per share of SEK 1.15 (1.04).
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK -78 (-11) million in the quarter. The lower level of activity during the winter season negatively impacted cash flow in the second quarter. The activity level gradually increased during the quarter, resulting in higher accounts receivable, which negatively impacted working capital. In total, working capital increased by SEK 222 (152) million during the quarter.
Payments for business combinations amounted to SEK -97 (-48) million and investments in PPE amounted to SEK -26 (-28) million, which were primarily machinery and vehicles used in the business. Cash flow from disposals of property, plant and equipment amounted to SEK 15 (15) million.
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK 105 (71) million, of which new loans were SEK 495 (171) million and amortized loans were SEK -336 (-28) million. The amount of amortization on lease liabilities during the quarter was SEK -55 (-46) million.
Depreciation of PPE amounted to SEK -71 (-68) million and amortization of intangible assets amounted to SEK -25 (-24) million.
Equity attributable to the Parent Company's shareholders amounted to SEK 1,660 million, which is a decrease of SEK 4 million compared to year-end 2024. Currency revaluation of foreign operations impacted equity in the quarter by SEK 4 million. There was no acquisition of own shares during the quarter (SEK -20 million in Q2 2024). Own shares, valued at SEK 3 (3) million, were used as payment for acquisitions. At the end of the reporting period, the number of own shares amounted to 253,198. The Group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 618 million (688 million at 31 December 2024) and unutilized credit facilities amounted to SEK 370 million (SEK 50 million at 31 December 2024).
At the rate that the Group acquires companies, the balance sheet total also tends to increase from one reporting period to the next. One acquisition was made during the quarter. The balance sheet total decreased by SEK 22 million compared to year-end 2024. This is a net effect of higher total assets from acquisitions and a lower value of assets from currency effects. Intangible assets decreased by SEK 57 million compared to 31 December 2024, which is primarily a consequence of amortization and currency effects. Intangible assets are primarily comprised of customer relations, brands and goodwill that has arisen from acquisitions.
Net debt amounted to SEK 2,386 million, which is an increase of SEK 191 million compared to 31 December 2024. Net debt, not including lease liabilities, amounted to SEK 1,738 million, compared to SEK 1,560 million on 31 December 2024.
Indebtedness, expressed as net debt in relation to EBITDA proforma RTM amounted to 2.9 times (2.7 times as of 30 June 2024 and 2.5 times as of 31 December 2024).

Net sales for segment Sweden decreased by 9 percent and amounted to SEK 644 (707) million in the quarter. For the last 12-month period, net sales amounted to SEK 2,517 (2,845) million, which is a decrease of 12 percent. The segment accounted for 41 percent of net sales RTM.
The negative impact on financial results is primarily attributable to the residual effects of the mild winter at the start of the quarter. Overall, the assessment is that the demand is much the same as in recent quarters. Companies focused on landscaping are still facing tough competition compared to those more focused on green space management and maintenance. The discontinuation of under-performing operations led to a decline in sales volumes.
EBITA decreased and amounted to SEK 36 (40) million in the second quarter, corresponding to an EBITA margin of 5.5 (5.7) percent. Efforts to strengthen profitability in Sweden have progressed according to plan and are expected to make a positive contribution during the year.

Net sales decreased in the second quarter and amounted to SEK 636 (683) million, which corresponds to a decrease of 7 percent. Organic growth amounted to -10 percent. For the last 12-month period, net sales amounted to SEK 2,460 (2,508) million, corresponding to growth of -2 percent. The segment thus once again accounted for approximately 40 percent of the Group's net sales.
The situation has been challenging for quite some time in the Norwegian landscaping and construction sector, with a recordhigh number of bankruptcies last year. These conditions also characterized the market in the second quarter and demand, and the assessment is that demand is much the same as in recent quarters. Residual effects of the mild winter had a negative impact at the start of the quarter.
EBITA decreased and amounted to SEK 53 (61) million, corresponding to an EBITA margin of 8.3 (8.9) percent. Changed exchange rates impacted earnings by -5 percent. The lower level of activity negatively impacted profitability.

Net sales increased during the second quarter and amounted to SEK 333 (268) million, corresponding to growth of 24 percent. Organic growth amounted to -6 percent, while acquisitions contributed with 33 percent. For the last 12-month period, net sales amounted to SEK 1,175 (774) million, corresponding to growth of 52 percent. The segment thus accounted for approximately 19 percent of the Group's net sales.
There have been no significant changes in market or competitive conditions compared to the corresponding period last year or recent quarters.
EBITA amounted to SEK 65 (59) million, corresponding to an EBITA margin of 19.5 (22.1) percent. Changed exchange rates impacted earnings by -2 percent. All regions reported good profitability in the quarter, with a significant profitability increase from the Finnish operations.
In May, Wagner Straßen-, Tief- & Rohrleitungsbau GmbH (Germany) was acquired. Its net sales amounted to approximately EUR 11 million (SEK 120 million) in 2024 and the company has around 30 employees. In July, Tessmer & Sohn Straßenbau GmbH (Germany) was acquired. Its net sales amounted to approximately EUR 16 million (SEK 176 million) in 2024 and the company has around 45 employees. In July, Green Landscaping Group's subsidiary in Germany, Lässle Bau GmbH, acquired the assets and liabilities of Hubert Kopf Garten und Landschaftsbau, which has annual sales of approximately SEK 15 million.



Net sales amounted to SEK 2,833 (3,040) million, which is a decrease of 7 percent. Winter, spring and summer happen during this period, which means both high and low season for most of the Group's subsidiaries. Both the frequency and volume of snowfall was substantially lower than normal in many of the cities of Sweden and Norway where the Group conducts its operations. Winter conditions also limit the ability to carry out other services. Additionally, newly acquired companies have a more pronounced low season during the winter. Organic growth thus amounted to -13 (6) percent. Acquired growth amounted to 8 (5) percent, which is attributable to the newly acquired companies in Germany, Norway and Finland. Changed exchange rates impacted net sales by -2 percent.
EBITA amounted to SEK 185 (234) million, corresponding to a profit margin of 6.5 (7.7) percent. There was a low level of activity due to the lack of snowfall, which negatively impacted both earnings and margins compared to the corresponding period previous year. Changed exchange rates impacted EBITA by -2 percent. Transaction costs for acquisitions amounted to SEK -2 (-4) million.
Operating profit decreased and amounted to SEK 134 (184) million. Financial items amounted to SEK -74 (-74) million. Financial items were impacted by interest on loans and lease liabilities of SEK -65 (-65) million, currency gains/losses of SEK 5 (-2) million, discounting of the liability for additional consideration of SEK -7 (-4) million and other financial items of SEK -5 (-3) million. Profit for the period amounted to SEK 46 (81) million, which corresponds to basic earnings per share of SEK 0.82 (1.44). Tax for the period was SEK -14 (-28) million.
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 61 (198) million. Reduced activity resulting from the mild winter negatively impacted cash flow, primarily due to a lower operating profit.
Payments for business acquisitions amounted to SEK -136 (-84) million and investments in intangible assets and PPE amounted to SEK -45 (-71) million.
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK 7 (-117) million, of which new loans were SEK 502 (180) million and amortized loans were SEK -381 (-148) million. The amount of amortization on lease liabilities was SEK -115 (-91) million.
Depreciation of PPE amounted to SEK -143 (-131) million and amortization of intangible assets amounted to SEK -51 (-50) million.
In May, Wagner Straßen-, Tief- & Rohrleitungsbau GmbH was acquired. It is based in Lebus, in the Brandenburg region of Germany. The company has been serving customers in the Berlin area since 2007, led by its founder, Steffen Wagner, with around 30 employees. The company offers services in the areas of earthworks, road & water infrastructure and landscaping, with sales in 2024 of approximately EUR 11 million (SEK 120 million). The company is consolidated as of 1 May 2025.
In May, Green Landscaping Group executed its first senior unsecured bonds with a volume of SEK 500 million. Duration of the bonds is 3.5 years, with a variable interest of STIBOR 3 months plus 225 base points. The funds will be allocated toward the refinancing of outstanding loans and to finance general business activities, including acquisitions. Since the end of June, the bonds have been listed for trading on Nasdaq Stockholm's corporate bond list.
Operating activities involve several risk factors that could impact the Group's business and financial position. The risks are primarily associated with operating activities such as tendering, delivery quality and delivery efficiency. Weather is another external risk that could impact earnings. To counter such risks, the company strives to have a mix of agreements with fixed and variable remuneration. It also strives to share the risks with customers and subcontractors.
The uncertain global situation – marked by trade tariffs and ongoing wars in nearby regions – poses a significant risk to global trade. Despite these challenges, the market for urban outdoor environment design, construction, and maintenance is expected to be only marginally affected. Local companies source services from local contractors, where quality is driven by execution rather than by expensive equipment that could be impacted by tariffs. Higher inflation and rising fuel prices pose a risk of increased costs for the Group. In most of our customer agreements, indexation of prices based on inflation is done. The content of contracts regulates when indexation may occur, typically, on an annual basis. This is why there is a delay between when costs rise and prices are adjusted. Statistics on the expenditure of Swedish municipalities since 2011 show an increase of spending in areas where the Group does business. The variation between years is small and there is no clear correlation between spending levels and business cycles.
Through its operations, the Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks, such as credit risk, market risks (interest rate risk and other price risks) and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management is focused on unpredictability in the financial markets and efforts are aimed at limiting the potential negative effects on the Group's financial results.
The Group's financial transactions and risks are managed by the CFO and the Parent Company's other senior executives, along with the board of directors. The Group's overall goal for financial risks is to limit the negative effects on the Group's earnings due to market changes or other factors in the surrounding world.
The percentage of both bad and doubtful debts has been low over the last 12 months. The majority of the Group's customers are in the public sector in terms of its net sales. The risk of this customer group having difficulty paying is assessed as low.
For quite some time, the Group has opted for a short fixed interest period on its outstanding loans. Accordingly, changes in interest rates have a quick impact. For several years, the Group has demonstrated its ability to continuously generate a profit. Cash flow has also been good and even steadily improved. The Group's interest-bearing liabilities are recognized at amortized
cost. As of the closing date, there was no difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the liabilities. Historically, Green Landscaping Group's market has been stable and predictable. Management's assessment is that the conditions are good for it remaining so. Most of the services that Green Landscaping offers are necessary, so the demand for them is relatively unaffected by the overall state of the economy. A large portion of the customer base is also made up of customers in the public sector. Considering the Group's good performance, market stability and predictability, the company's performance and decision-making has thus only been marginally impacted by the higher interest rates.
The state of the economy and interest rates have been considered when making the assessment of impairment on intangible assets. The Group is exposed to changed exchange rates, primarily the NOK and EUR currencies, but to a smaller extent, also the CHF relative to SEK. The currency exposure is associated with the foreign subsidiaries' sales, earnings and equity, along with goodwill that has arisen in conjunction with acquisitions. The revenue and expenses of foreign subsidiaries is primarily in their own local currencies, which means that the direct impact of currency fluctuations in the subsidiaries themselves is limited. The percentage of consumables used in the business that are impacted by currency fluctuations is low and thus, thereby only having a limited impact on the Group's position.
A change in the SEK/NOK exchange rate of 5 percent affects the quarter's sales by approximately SEK 32 (34) million and EBITA by approximately SEK 3 (3) million. A change in the SEK/ EUR exchange rate of 5 percent affects the quarter's sales by approximately SEK 17 (13) million and EBITA by SEK 3 (3) million. The corresponding effect on the net assets in the Norwegian subsidiaries (including goodwill that has arisen in conjunction with the acquisitions) of an exchange rate change of 5 percent is approximately SEK 61 million based on carrying amounts at the end of the period. For the EUR-based operations, a change in the exchange rate of 5 percent affects assets by approximately SEK 43 million. The impact on the Group from changes in the CHF currency is insignificant.
Any impact on the net assets is reported directly in other comprehensive income and does not affect the net profit. Several of the investments in foreign operations that Green Landscaping Group makes are partly financed by loans in the same currency as the investment. This is how currency hedging on the investment is achieved. Hedge accounting is applied for hedges of net investments in foreign operations. Gains and losses attributable to the effective part of the hedge are reported in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the exchange rate reserve in equity. The ineffective portion of gains and losses is reported in profit (loss) for the year. Gains and losses reported in the exchange rate reserve are recycled to profit (loss) for the year in conjunction with any divestment of foreign operations. Beyond this, the Group does not hedge currencies by buying or selling
currency on futures or with other financial instruments.
For more information on the risks and uncertainties, please see the Annual Report and Sustainability Report for 2024.
In July, the acquisition of Tessmer & Sohn Straßenbaugesellschaft mbH (Germany) was announced. It is based in the Hanover region of Lower Saxony. Established in 1967, the company is under the second-generation leadership of Torsten Tessmer. The company has a full-range offering of services in landscaping and earthworks. Its net sales in 2024 amounted to EUR 16 million (SEK 176 million). The transaction was completed subsequent to the end of the reporting period and the company has been consolidated as of 1 July 2025.
Besides remuneration to senior executives and subscription of shares within the framework of the 2025/2028 options plan, there have not been any significant transactions between Green Landscaping Group and related parties during the period that have impacted the company's position or earnings.
The Parent Company's net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 12 (9) million. Operating profit (loss) amounted to SEK -6 (-12) million. Financial items for the quarter amounted to SEK 45 (2) million, of which dividends received amounted to SEK 69 (47) million, net interest to SEK -9 (-31) million, discounting on the liability for additional consideration to SEK -1 (-2) million and currency gains/losses were SEK -11 (0) million.
Financial assets, including receivables from Group companies, decreased by SEK 1 million since 31 December 2024. Liabilities decreased by SEK 20 million since 31 December 2024, which is attributable to a combination of new borrowings, loan amortization, and currency translation of loans in a foreign currency.
The interim report was prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. This interim report for the Group was prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the applicable parts of the Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554), The Parent Company applies the Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.
The Group and Parent Company apply the same accounting policies and calculation methods and assessments as described in the most recent Annual Report. A more detailed description of the Group's accounting principles, along with both new and future standards is reported in the most recently published Annual Report. New standards, amendments and interpretations effective from 1 January 2025 or later have not had any material impact on this financial report.
The Group has a financing agreement with SEB, DNB and Svensk Exportkredit. The credit limits in that agreement amount to SEK 2,450 million and it expires in October 2026. It also encompasses a revolving credit facility. For quite some time, the Group has opted for a short fixed interest period on its outstanding loans. There is also a covenant (financial terms) that the Group must comply with. Specifically, it applies to the gearing ratio in relation to proforma EBITDA, which is also one of the Group's financial targets. The Group's target is lower than what is stated for the covenant.
Since the end of June 2025, senior unsecured bonds with a volume of SEK 500 million have been listed for trading on Nasdaq Stockholm's corporate bond list.
The Group has granted overdraft of SEK 50 (50) million, which was unutilized at the end of the period.
Operations are affected by seasonal variations. The service offering also varies with each season. During the spring, summer and fall, a full range of green space management and grounds maintenance services are offered such as waste collection, lawn mowing, pruning, planting, leaf removal and road maintenance. Also offered is a wide assortment of construction and landscaping services for creating outdoor environments. Weather variations during this time have only had a limited impact on net sales and earnings, since the services that Green Landscaping Group offers also vary with the weather. During the winter however, weather conditions have a greater impact on the Group's sales and earnings. Snow and ice removal, along with pruning work is done in the winter, as well as some construction work. In general, less snow and ice removal is needed when the winter is cold and dry. Ground frost and cold also limit the opportunities for doing construction work in the winter. A milder winter with recurring precipitation provides the opposite conditions.
The financial outcome in the quarter is impacted by the seasons. Winter occurs in the first quarter of the year. It is thus low season for most of Green Landscaping Group's operations, which negatively impacts net sales and earnings, although cash flow is typically strong. The level of activity increases with the start of spring and the second quarter is high season for most of the Group's companies. The activity level decreases somewhat at the beginning of the third quarter because of summer vacation. August and September are when many capital-intensive construction and landscaping projects start up. Cash flow is thus typically also weaker. In the fourth and last quarter of the year, many customers are striving to wrap up their projects before yearend. Typically, this causes the activity level to rise.

During the second quarter of 2025, Green Landscaping Group completed one acquisition in Germany. Minor adjustments were made to preliminary acquisition analyses. The overall impact on the Group's goodwill from the acquisition analyses amounted to SEK 31 million. Eight acquisitions were made in 2024, five of which were in Germany, one in Switzerland, one in Finland and one in Norway. Additionally, one of the Germany subsidiaries executed a minor acquisition of assets and liabilities. According to agreements on contingent additional consideration, the Group must make additional cash payments based on future results. Contingent consideration to be paid by the Group based on the future results of current and prior year acquisitions is a maximum of SEK 212 (179) million.
Additional consideration is based on the terms in the purchase agreement, the company's knowledge of operations and how the current economic climate is expected to impact them. The values in the table on the next page have been discounted to present value and the liability as of the end of the period amounted to SEK 183 (164) million. The fair value of contingent consideration is at Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy in accordance with IFRS. An assessment has been made of how the valuation of the additional consideration is impacted by changes in non-observable inputs or the correlation between them. Assessments made are based on the probability that the performance targets, which are the basis for payment of the additional consideration, will be achieved. Neither changes in unobservable inputs nor their interrelationships has been assessed as having a material impact on the valuation of the additional consideration.
Tax deductible goodwill amounts to SEK 43 (43) million. Acquisition costs for the quarter and first half of the year amounted to SEK 2 million (compared to SEK 1 million for the corresponding quarter previous year and SEK 4 million for the full year 2024).
One acquisition was made during the first half of 2025 and the acquisitions from this year and last year are presented below.

General

Green Landscaping Group is a home for entrepreneurs. Business activities cover the areas of grounds maintenance, green space management and landscaping.
It is becoming multi-national, with the spirit of small company entrepreneurship by acquiring successful companies with these qualities: skilled in their trade and professionally run, sound values and a track record of high profitability. Entrepreneurial spirit is a central theme at Green Landscaping Group. Once acquired, companies run their business as before, yet with the benefits of a larger group and access to a network of colleagues working in the same field, along with more opportunities to develop on a professional level. They become part of an environment with access to the larger company's resources. As the Group grows and develops, benefits flow to customers, employees and owners alike.
The Group has a long-term perspective and the companies that belong to it have a home here.
The market for outdoor environments is fragmented and locally anchored, with long-term customer relationships and a high level of repeat business. Companies typically have very strong ties in
the communities where they do business and have established working methods and structures over a long period of time, giving them a strong identity. Retaining and continuing to nurture that is thus a key element of Green Landscaping's decentralized operational model. Subsidiaries have full commercial responsibility and they run their business under their own brand. The model is based on a high level of trust and freedom with responsibility. The Group and region levels exist primarily to support the individual companies. Collaboration between companies in the Group is encouraged, although it happens at their own initiative. Where synergies have been identified, it is also up to the companies themselves whether or not to act on them, if they feel the commercial prerequisites exist.
Green Landscaping Group conducts business in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Lithuania, Germany and Switzerland. Green Landscaping's stock became listed on Nasdaq First North under the ticker "GREEN" in March 2018. In April 2019, Green Landscaping Group changed its marketplace to Nasdaq Stockholm Small Cap and since January 2022, its shares have been traded on Nasdaq Stockholm Mid Cap.
