Comments from the CEO

Sales rose 6 percent, driven by a record quarter for Data Center

Hexatronic's sales increased by 6 percent to SEK 1,882 million in the first quarter, driven by a record quarter for Data Center, whose sales rose 41 percent. Harsh Environment continued to develop positively during the quarter, while we saw a slight decline in Fiber Solutions due to lower sales in North America.

The Group's EBITA margin improved to 9.8 percent in the quarter compared to 9.4 percent last year.

Stable sales in Europe for Fiber Solutions

In Europe, Fiber Solutions' sales were on par with the previous year. Growth in the UK and Finland offset lower sales in Sweden, among other countries. The focus has shifted from building fiber networks that pass households to building fiber networks that connect households. Our system solution has many advantages for this type of expansion, including easy and cost-effective installation.

We see limited direct effects of the implementation of import tariffs in the US.

In North America, sales were 9 percent lower than last year but increased sequentially. We note a continued strong interest in our FTTH solutions among US customers. Our US duct business continues to develop stably, which is in line with what we saw at the end of last year. Volumes are higher on an annual basis but are offset by lower price levels.

In the APAC region, the development was strong in the first quarter of the year, with growth of 16 percent.

Overall, sales in Fiber Solutions decreased by 2 percent in the first quarter.

Positive development for Harsh Environment

Sales in Harsh Environment rose 5 percent during the quarter. We continue to see good demand from existing and new customers and see that many projects tend to lead to more orders and new assignments. The Fehmarnbelt Fixed Link, the large tunnel being built between Denmark and Germany, is one such example. The work to streamline manufacturing at the subsidiary Rochester Cable will continue throughout the year. Some positive effects of this work were noted during the first quarter.

Strong start to the year for Data Center

Data Center has had a strong start to the year. Sales increased 41 percent compared to the previous year, with improvements in all

units and a positive contribution from acquired businesses. We have assignments from several of the most prominent players in the data center area, and we see a continued strong market in this customer segment.

Refinancing of loan portfolio

After the end of the quarter, we signed new bank agreements, meaning we are refinancing all our long-term loans on the same terms as before. This gives us continued good flexibility in terms of investments and acquisition-driven growth. We reported a slightly negative cash flow during the first quarter due to increased accounts receivable and inventory build-up ahead of the summer months. At the same time, our leverage was unchanged at 1.9 times pro forma EBITDA (excluding IFRS16).

Limited impact of US tariffs

In line with what we previously communicated, we see limited direct effects of the implementation of import tariffs in the US. Our exposure corresponds to less than 5 percent of the Group's sales. Hexatronic has long had a strategy based on local production, and earlier this year, we decided to set up production of fiber optic cables in the US, starting in the second quarter of 2026, which will further reduce exposure.

Outlook

In Fiber Solutions, the challenging market situation in Europe is expected to persist in the coming quarters with low price levels. The outlook in the US is brighter, although there is uncertainty around tariffs and the macroeconomic environment. The major BEAD program, which aims to support the rollout of FTTH networks in rural America, is expected to reach the market later this year. The focus for the Data Center business area is continued strong growth. We are working to broaden the customer base and strengthen our offering and organization. Work is underway in the Harsh Environment business area to improve operational efficiency and profitability, primarily within the subsidiary Rochester Cable.

We continue to focus on efficiency improvements, including cost savings in Fiber Solutions, and are actively working to continue to broaden our business with new growth areas. We aim to complete one or more acquisitions during the year in Harsh Environment and Data Center. The order book at the end of the first quarter corresponds to approximately 2.5 months of sales.

All in all, this means that our cautiously optimistic view of 2025 remains.

President and CEO

Net sales and growth

First quarter January 1 - March 31, 2025

The Group's net sales during the first quarter increased by 6 percent to SEK 1,882 million (1,782). Organically, sales increased by 1 percent in the quarter and are mainly attributable to a strong quarter for Data Center and Harsh Environment. Growth from acquisitions amounted to 4 percent and is attributable to Endor. Currency effects during the quarter amounted to 1 percent.

During the period, sales in Fiber Solutions amounted to SEK 1,234 million (1,255), corresponding to 66 percent (70) of the Group's total net sales, where we saw a negative growth of 2 percent compared to the corresponding quarter last year. Sales in Harsh Environment increased 5 percent to SEK 286 million (273) in the quarter, corresponding to 15 percent (15) of the Group's total net sales. The Data Center business area generated revenue of SEK 362 million (256) representing a growth of 41 percent compared to the corresponding quarter last year. Data Center is now the Group's second largest business area, accounting for 19 percent (15) of total net sales.

In total for the Group, sales in Europe increased by 10 percent compared with the previous year. Growth is mainly explained by acquisitions in Data Center during the previous year. North America decreased by 4 percent because of lower price levels in Fiber Solutions, partly offset by higher volumes. APAC and Rest of World performed strongly in the first quarter with sales growth of 27 percent.

EBITA

First quarter January 1 - March 31, 2025

EBITA increased by 10 percent to SEK 184 million (168) in the quarter, corresponding to an EBITA margin of 9.8 percent (9.4). The higher EBITA margin was positively impacted by the Group's growth compared to the same period last year, together with higher capacity utilization in our factories. This was partly offset by continued price pressure in Fiber Solutions, generally higher freight costs, start-up costs related to the new factory in Utah and increased depreciation.

Financial items

First quarter January 1 - March 31, 2025

Net financial items for the quarter amounted to SEK -31 million (-47), of which net interest amounted to SEK -38 million (-50), realized and unrealized exchange rate differences amounted to SEK 2 million (8) and other financial items to SEK 5 million (-5). Other financial items include revaluation of additional purchase price and acquisition option of SEK 7 million (-4).

Profit for the period

First quarter January 1 - March 31, 2025

Profit after tax for the first quarter amounted to SEK 86 million (61) and earnings per share after dilution increased by 38 percent and amounted to SEK 0.42 (0.31). The tax for the quarter amounted to SEK -37 million (-29), which means that the average effective tax rate in the Group was 30.3 percent (32.4) for the quarter. The lower tax rate compared to the same quarter last year is mainly explained by a higher share of tax-deductible interest expenses.

Cash flow and investments

First quarter January 1 - March 31, 2025

Cash flow from operating activities during the quarter amounted to SEK -50 million (270), including a change in working capital of SEK -192 million (152). Working capital was mainly affected by increased accounts receivable due to higher sales and customer mix, as well as higher inventory levels due to stock build-up ahead of the summer. The negative impact from accounts receivable and inventories was partly offset by increased accounts payable and prepayments from customers.

During the quarter, cash flow from the Group's investing activities amounted to SEK -17 million (-160). Investments in intangible and tangible fixed assets amounted to SEK -14 million (-68) driven by investments in the US mainly related to production and efficiency improvements in Rochester Cable. The cash flow effect related to business acquisitions after deduction of acquired cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK -3 million (-80).

During the quarter, cash flow from the Group's financing activities amounted to SEK -34 million (-156). The change during the quarter is explained by amortization of lease liabilities of SEK -34 million (-31) and amortization of loans and utilized RCF of SEK -1 million (-124).

Total cash flow for the quarter amounted to SEK -101 million (-46).

Business area Harsh Environment

Net Sales and profit

Net sales increased 5 percent to SEK 286 million in the first quarter. The change is mainly explained by increased sales to APAC and rest of World. Europe was in line with last year while North America was slightly lower. The companies within Harsh Environment have an international customer base and a majority of revenues from larger projects, which means that sales per geography can fluctuate between quarters. The EBITA margin strengthened compared to the previous year as a result of the ongoing work to streamline manufacturing in Rochester Cable.

Annual General Meeting 2025

Hexatronic's 2025 Annual General Meeting will take place on Monday, May 5, 2025, at CET 15.00 at Gothia Towers, Mässans gata 24 in Gothenburg. The last day for registration to participate in the Annual General Meeting was Monday, April 28, 2025. The Board of Directors' and the Nomination Committee's proposals for resolutions were made public in the notice of the Annual General Meeting, which was published on April 2, 2025. Shareholders who wished to have a matter dealt with at the AGM had the opportunity to submit such a request in writing to the Board. The notice, information about the Annual General Meeting, and supporting documents for decision points are available on Hexatronic's website, under the Corporate Governance section: https://www.hexatronic.com/en/investors/annual-generalmeeting

Transactions with related parties

The Group leases premises from Fastighets AB Balder, in which the Group's Board member Erik Selin has significant influence. The lease contracts have been entered into on standard

commercial terms. The rent for the premises amounts to approximately SEK 6 million on an annual basis.

Seasonal variations

Hexatronic's sales of products and services within Fiber Solutions are affected by seasonal variations, which means that sales during the first and fourth quarters of the year are usually slightly lower than during the summer months when weather conditions are more favorable for groundwork. Sales in Harsh Environment are not affected by seasonality, while Data Center tends to have slightly higher activity in the first half of the year and slightly lower in the second half

Significant risks and uncertainties

Hexatronic's operations, like all business activities, are associated with risks of various kinds. Identifying and evaluating risks is a natural and integral part of the business to control, limit, and proactively manage prioritized risks. The Group's ability to identify and prevent risks minimizes the risk of unpredictable events harming the company. Risk management aims not necessarily to

eliminate risk, but rather to secure our business objectives with a balanced risk portfolio.

Risks related to business development and long-term strategic planning, as well as the Group's work with sustainability issues and related risks, are managed by Group Management and ultimately prioritized by the Board of Directors.

Hexatronic has divided identified risks into market-related, operational, regulatory, and financial risks. Sustainability risks are integral to all risk areas and are described in more detail in the Group's sustainability report.

A more detailed description of the Group's risks and risk management is provided in Hexatronic Group's Annual Report and Sustainability Report 2024, on pages 50-53.

Current geopolitical uncertainty, uncertainty about trade barriers and tariffs, and a generally uncertain macroeconomic situation affect Hexatronic. The Group's strategy of local manufacturing helps to reduce these risks.

The expansion of fiber optic infrastructure is supported by private players and government investment programs, such as the

Gigabit Strategy in Germany, the Project Gigabit in the UK, and the BEAD program in the US. Similar programs exist in most countries. Should the willingness to invest decrease, for example, due to increased costs and/or reduced government investment programs, this could affect Hexatronic's business and thus future revenues. In recent years, Hexatronic has diversified its business by expanding into new geographic markets, market segments, and applications, and therefore has limited exposure to developments in individual markets.

Note 3. Segment overview

As of the first quarter of 2025, the Group has introduced new segment reporting, changing from previously reporting one segment to now reporting three separate segments. The new segment structure reflects the internal reporting structure used for performance monitoring and resource allocation.

The Group's reportable operating segments have been identified from a management perspective. The segment information is based on internal reporting to the chief operating decision maker. which at Hexatronic has been equated with Group Management.

The Group´s operations are managed and reported by three business segments:

Fiber Solutions is the Group 's business in fiber optic cables, ducts and network products for FTTH connectivity, 5G, transport networks, local city networks and submarine cables. Customers are mainly telecom operators, network owners, and distributors.

Harsh Environment provides advanced cables and solutions adapted to withstand connectivity in the most challenging environments. Customers are mainly companies in the energy sector (offshore), marine technology, defense, and aerospace. The business area also includes the business of advanced fiber optic sensor systems.

Data Center offers tailor-made products and services for the data center market, such as cables and networking products, as well as design, installation, and project management. Customers include major global cloud companies, co-location operators, and large enterprises such as banks, automotive manufacturers, and industrial companies.

In addition to the mentioned segments, central functions are reported under Corporate/Elimination. This mainly includes Group staff, central departments, and other activities outside the core operations of each segment, including the elimination of internal transactions between segments.

Consolidation of the business segments is carried out in accordance with the same accounting principles applied to the Group as a whole. Transactions between business segments are conducted on market terms. Comparative figures for previous periods have been restated in accordance with the new segment structure.

The segments are managed and reported based on key financial metrics: net sales, EBITDA, EBITA, and investments (acquisitions of tangible and intangible fixed assets), which are presented below.

Note 4. Business acquisitions

Acquisitions 2025

No acquisitions have been made during or after the first quarter of 2025.

Acquisitions 2025

On February 2, 2024, the Group acquired 97 percent of MConnect") for a fixed purchase consideration of GBP 0.6 million on a debt free basis. The acquisition of MConnect includes a put/call option to acquire the remaining 3 percent after 2027. Both parties have the right to exercise the option and it is considered likely that the option will be exercised, hence the acquisition is recognized at 100 percent with no non-controlling interest. The expected purchase price for the remaining 3 percent is recognized as a liability with any changes in value through the income statement.

On October 1, 2024, the Group entered into an asset acquisition of parts of Iced purchase price of EUR 1.1 million on a debt-free basis, as well as a maximum present value calculated additional purchase price amounting to EUR 0.2 million.

The acquisitions have not had any material impact on Hexatronic's balance sheet, net sales and earnings for the period.

Note 5. Incentive programs

Employee stock option programs active at the time of this publication are:

Outstanding warrant Number of Corresponding Proportion of
programme warrantes number of shares total shares Exercise price Expiration period
Warrant programme 2021/2024 463.000 463.000 0.2% 96.96 15 may - 15 jun 2025

Total 1,228,000 1,228,000 0.6%

In addition to above warrant programs, there ongoing long-term, performance-based incentive plans (LTIP 2022, 2023 and 2024) for 42 senior executives and other key employees in the Group who are resident in Sweden. The participants have invested 192,053 savings shares in total.

Under the LTIP, for each acquired Hexatronic share), participants can receive 2–6 shares in Hexatronic (performance shares) free of charge, assuming achievement of certain performance targets. To qualify for performance shares, participants must acquire and retain a number of Hexatronic shares for the three-year vesting period and must, with some exceptions, remain in employment during the same period. In additions, performance shares also require certain performance targets to be met, linked to the development of the earnings per share after dilution, the Group's growth, EBTTA margin and certain sustainability targets.

The targets relate to the 2022-2026 financial years. Hexatronic has judged that all the above conditions are non-market related onditions under IFRS 2.

Reconciliation between IFRS and key metrics used

In this interim report, Hexatronic presents certain financial parameters that are not defined in IFRS known as alternative key metrics. The Group believes that these parameters provide valuable supplementary information for investors as they facilitate an evaluation of the company's results and position. Since not all

companies calculate financial parameters in the same way these metrics are not always comparable with those used by other companies. Investors should see the financial parameters as a complement to rather than a replacement for financial reporting in accordance with IFRS.
