CEO's comments

As we round off 2025, we look back on a year with high growth and maintained high margin, and in all a very successful year for Hacksaw. We demonstrated strong execution capacity both in the development of new games and in the monetisation of these games, leading to a 44 percent growth in revenue to EUR 197 million, 48 percent adjusted for currency movements. The high growth achieved during all four quarters, all of which is organic, is a result of a combination of a strong performance from or back catalogue of games, successful new game releases, and new deals.

During the year, we released a total of 91 new games. 45 of these come from our inhouse studio, a studio that is currently releasing four new titles per month. The remaining 46 new games were released by our third-party OpenRGS studios. Our OpenRGS platform has continued to attract studios throughout the year. We now have eight studios on the platform, with Pineapple Play and Jinx Gaming added in the fourth quarter.

Our team has delivered strongly in commercialising our game releases and closed over 260 deals during the year. This underscores the large opportunity that we have in the market with both existing and new clients.

We have become further diversified during the year. As we look at gross gaming revenue during the fourth quarter we note that our top ten games represented 43 percent (57), and that our largest client accounts for 13 percent (20). No country represents more than 10 percent of bets placed in the full-year.

Our people remain our key priority for investment. In 2025, we have continued to scale up the team in order to capitalise on the opportunities presented to us and we aim to continue doing so. As we closed the year, our team consisted of 254 employees.

We maintain very strong profitability as a result of high scalability in our operations and stringent cost control, and thus generate strong cash flows. We have communicated a capital policy whereby we intend to return no less than 75 percent of net profit to shareholders through dividends or share buybacks, or a combination of the two. The board proposes to the Annual General Meeting a dividend per

share of EUR 0.40. The board also proposes to the Annual General Meeting to be granted a buy back mandate of up to 10 percent of the share capital.

A major milestone was our listing in June where we had the pleasure of welcoming new shareholders to Hacksaw, while receiving extended trust from our existing shareholders

During 2026, we will continue to execute on our strategy of product innovation and increasing monetisation. We expect the market to continue to grow and we expect that we will continue to gain market share. We have a great team and a very promising product pipeline, and our position in the market suggests a large runway for further growth. Hence, I remain confident that we will continue to deliver high growth and further shareholder value in 2026 and beyond.

Financial development during the fourth quarter 1 October – 31 December 2025

Revenue

Total revenue for the fourth quarter amounted to EUR 55.1 million (43.7), an increase of 26% compared to the corresponding period last year. The growth continued to be driven by the strength of the back catalogue of games, the launch of new games, and the growth in the customer base. The revenue growth was partly offset by movements in FX exchange rates compared to the corresponding period last year, which had a negative impact on revenues. On a constant currency basis for our top five currencies, the revenue growth was 31%.

The average daily number of rounds played increased by 36% compared to Q4 2024. The continued broadening of the

games portfolio was reflected in the top 10 games contributing 43% (57) of total gross gaming revenue (GGR). 13 (9) in-house developed games were released. Third party studios released 12 (9) games on the OpenRGS platform. By the end of the period, eight third party studios had released games on the platform.

The total games portfolio comprised 293 (203) released games at the end of the quarter, and the games were available in over 35 locally licensed markets.

Operating profit (EBIT)

Adjusted operating profit for the quarter amounted to EUR 45.0 million (35.0), an increase of 28% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. The adjusted operating margin was 82% (80).

Operating profit has been adjusted by EUR 0.3 million (0.0) relating to items affecting comparability (IAC), which mainly comprised advisory expenses related to the initial public offering (for more information, please refer to Note 5: Items affecting comparability). Operating profit for the quarter, including the IAC, amounted to EUR 44.7 million (35.0).

Adjusted operating expenses for the quarter amounted to EUR 10.1 million (8.7). The increase is primarily due to higher personnel expenses from continued investments in new recruitment, mainly within game development and distribution, to ensure that we can capitalise on the large opportunity ahead. Additionally, the increase is due to higher cost of services sold from continued scaling of the OpenRGS platform, expenses related to driving the continued growth and development of the business, and higher depreciation and amortisation due to continued investments in capitalised game development expenses.

The gaming operation activities for the Group are domiciled in Malta and are conducted by the wholly owned subsidiary Hacksaw Operations Ltd.

Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to SEK -80.7 million (-23.9), and profit for the period amounted to SEK 1,551.2 million (1,098.1). Financial items for the period amounted to SEK 1,628.1 million (1,118.2), and the increase mainly related to dividends from subsidiaries. The increase in financial expenses mainly related to the realised currency exchange loss on dividend payments received from subsidiaries in foreign currencies.

The increase in operating expenses compared to last year mainly related to the increase in advisory expenses related to the initial public offering, as well as higher personnel expenses.

The Parent Company's cash and bank balances amounted to SEK 5.2 million (15.8) at the end of the period. Equity amounted to SEK 4,669.5 million (1,099.6) and the change mainly related to the change in minority interests after the company acquired the remaining shares in its Hacksaw Gaming Ltd subsidiary from minority shareholders. For further information, please refer to the section The share below.

No significant investments were made in intangible or tangible assets during the period.

The share

The Parent Company's shares have been listed on Nasdaq Stockholm since 25 June 2025 and are included in the Large Cap index. The trading symbol for the shares is HACK. The closing share price on 31 December 2025 was SEK 63.4 per share, representing a total market capitalisation of SEK 18,347 million.

The company had a total of 10,704 shareholders (69) at the end of the period, and the total number of ordinary shares amounted to 289,195,987 (244,712,000).

Share split

On 13 May 2025, The Board of Directors decided to implement a share split whereby each existing share was divided into 2,000 new shares. The new shares were registered with SCRO on 20 May 2025. In connection with the share split, a bonus issue was carried out and increased the share capital by SEK 244,712. The bonus issue was implemented by transferring SEK 367,068 from unrestricted equity to share capital. No new shares were issued in connection with the bonus issue.

The total number of ordinary shares before the share split amounted to 122,356, and the total numbers of ordinary shares after the share split amounted to 244,712,000.

Minority change

On 10 June 2025, the company acquired the outstanding shares in the Hacksaw Gaming Ltd subsidiary from minority shareholders. The company issued a promissory note as compensation for acquiring the remaining shares in Hacksaw Gaming Ltd, which was shortly thereafter offset against a new share issue. Following the acquisition, Hacksaw Gaming Ltd became a wholly owned subsidiary of Hacksaw AB. The subscription price for the share issue was approximately SEK 68 per share, and was determined by taking into account the value of the relationship between Hacksaw AB and Hacksaw Gaming Ltd. The transaction was based on a fair value assessment for the respective shares. Following the new share issue, the total number of ordinary shares amounted to 288,915,987.

From an accounting perspective, the share-swap qualifies as a transaction within the controlling influence, since Hacksaw AB already has a controlling influence in Hacksaw Gaming Ltd. The transaction is therefore recognised directly against equity and no new goodwill, or any other intangible assets, will be recognised as a result. For more information about the changes in equity, please refer to the Condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity on page 11.

Warrants

Following the listing on Nasdaq Stockholm on 25 June 2025, an acceleration clause was triggered that allowed holders of warrant series 2023/2026 to exercise their warrants earlier. The exercise period changed from 21 February 2026 – 20 March 2026 to 26 June 2025 – 10 August 2025. As a result of the share split, the subscription price was recalculated from SEK 27,060 per share to SEK 13.53 per share. A total of 280,000 newly issued shares in the company were subscribed for within the framework of the program, raising EUR 0.3 million for Hacksaw. Following the new share issue, the total number of ordinary shares amounted to 289,195,987.

Risks and uncertainties

Hacksaw's operations are exposed to certain risks that could have a varying impact on its earnings or financial position. Hacksaw has a structured and group-wide process to identify, classify, manage and monitor a number of strategic, operating and external risks. When assessing the Group's future development, it is important to take into account these risk factors, alongside any opportunities for profit growth.

One of the central risk factors in the gaming industry is the continuous development of laws and regulations. Any changes in international regulations and/or industry specific regulations may affect future earnings. The Group monitors and analyses any changes in laws and regulations from a regulatory and technical perspective.

For a more detailed description and review of Hacksaw's identified risk exposure, please see the Group's Annual Report for 2024, which is available on the company's website at www.hacksawgroup.com

Notes to the financial statement

Note 1. Accounting principles

This interim report has been prepared for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable rules in the Annual Accounts Act. The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 9, Interim Report, of the Annual Accounts Act. The accounting principles applied for the Group and the Parent Company are consistent with the accounting principles used in the preparation of the most recent annual report.

Amounts are expressed in thousands of Euro (EUR) unless otherwise indicated. Amounts or figures in parentheses indicate comparative figures for the corresponding period of last year.

Future change of accounting principles

No changed or new standards or interpretation that have come into force have affected the Group's financial reports.

New and amended standards not yet applied by the Group

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027 and has not yet been adopted by the EU. IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and introduce new requirements aimed at achieving greater comparability in the reporting of results for similar entities and providing users with more relevant information and transparency.

The new standard IFRS 18 introduces requirements in three areas to enhance comparability, transparency, and usefulness of financial statements. This includes new structures in the Group's statement of profit or loss with two new subtotals ("Operating profit" and "Profit before financing and income taxes"), expanded guidance on presentation and note disclosures, and disclosure requirements for key performance measures used in external communication (Managementdefined Performance Measures, MPMs). The implementation also affects other standards, including IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows, IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and IAS 33 Earnings per Share.

Hacksaw has initiated a preliminary assessment of the effects of IFRS 18 and will continue to evaluate its impact during 2026. The adoption of IFRS 18 will require changes to the structure of the Group's statement of profit or loss, as well as assessments regarding the presentation of items in the financial statements and disclosures in the notes. The presentation of the statement of cash flows will also be affected by the implementation of IFRS 18. Furthermore, the adoption of IFRS 18 will require the identification of Management-defined Performance Measures (MPMs) relevant to the Group and the preparation of related disclosures in the notes.

Other amendments are not expected to have any material impact on the financial statements of the Group or the parent company in the period of initial application. None of the new or amended standards have been early adopted by the Group.

Note 2. Financial instruments

All of the Group's financial assets and liabilities are carried at amortised cost in the consolidated financial statement. The Group has no financial instruments that are carried at fair value. There are thus no differences between the carrying amount and the fair value of the Group's financial instruments.

Note 3. Related party transactions

The following are considered to be related parties; the members of the company's Board of Directors, the Group's senior executives, as well as the close family members of those groups of people. The Parent Company is considered to have a related party relationship with its subsidiaries. It is the company's opinion that all transactions with related parties have been conducted on market terms.

During the first nine months in 2025, an employee in a senior position has performed services related to financial consulting from the company CG Services LTD with a value of EUR 10.8 thousand and from the company Camilleri Galea LTD with a value of EUR 96.4 thousand. Group CFO Per Alnefelt has during the period performed services related to financial consulting from the company Solvijks Management AB with a value of EUR 359.1 thousand. The transactions have been conducted on market terms.

For the same period in 2024 the amounts were EUR 84.1 thousand from the company Camilleri Galea and EUR 10.4 thousand from the company CG Services.

Incentive program

Under the terms of the incentive programs, LTIP 2025/2028:1 and 2025/2028:2, adopted by the AGM on 25 March 2025, 902 000 warrants have been subscribed for by selected employees, key personnel and senior executives within Hacksaw during May 2025. Of these, three related parties in senior positions subscribed for a total of 60 000 warrants, and one Board member subscribed for 20 000 warrants.

During January 2025, two new warrant holder agreements were issued to newly appointed Group CEO Christoffer Källberg, under series 2025/2030:1 with 483 warrants and series 2025/2030:2 with 120 warrants.

All programs are issued on market terms.

{15}------------------------------------------------

Transactions with associated companies

Hacksaw also has transactions with related parties that are associated companies. The transactions arise in the ordinary course of business and are based on commercial terms and market prices.

Note 4. Estimates and Assumptions

Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are deemed to be reasonable in the present circumstances. The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the actual results. The estimates and assumptions that

involve a major risk of material adjustments in the reported values of assets and liabilities during the next financial year are outlined below.

Income tax

Hacksaw's business, including intra-Group transactions, is conducted in accordance with the Group's interpretations of the applicable laws, tax treaties and other tax provisions in each country's jurisdictions. The Group uses external independent tax advisors to make judgements about the current tax situation, but there is still a risk of negative tax consequences if a tax authority in an individual country decides on a legislative amendment concerning the tax in question.

The determination of provisions for income tax requires significant judgements and estimates, as the final tax is uncertain for many transactions and estimates. The Group recognises tax amounts that are considered to be regular in consultation with external tax advisors. The amounts recognised may differ from the actual outcome for both direct and indirect taxes. This is mainly due to the fact that the tax authorities in the jurisdictions in which the Group operates may make more restrictive interpretations of the regulations than those made by the Group.

Note 5. Items affecting comparability

Items affecting comparability amounted to EUR 0.2 million (0.0) for the period, which mainly refers to advisory expenses and initial public offering expenses.

Total 282 43 3,986 1,144

Note 6. Significant events after the end of the quarter

The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting a dividend per share of EUR 0.40.

The Board of Directors also proposes to the Annual General Meeting to be granted a buy back mandate of up to 10% of Hacksaw's outstanding share capital.

Consolidated key financials

The Group presents certain financial measures in the interim report that are not defined under IFRS. The company believes that these measures provide valuable supplemental information to investors and the company's management as they permit the evaluation of the company's financial performance and position. Since not all companies calculate financial measurements in the same way, they are not

comparable to those used by other companies. These financial measurements should therefore not be seen as a substitute for measures that are defined in accordance with IFRS. Below are the measurements not defined in accordance with IFRS, unless otherwise stated, and the reconciliation of those.
