Comments from the CEO

Solid quarter – Deliver ing to plan

Hexatronic delivered a solid fourth quarter, fully in line with our expectations. Net sales reached SEK 1.8 billion and adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 133 million, corresponding to 10 percent organic growth and an adjusted EBITA margin of 7.2 percent.

Growth was driven by strong performance in our fast -growing Data Center and Harsh Environment business areas, that now account for 37 percent of the Group's total net sales and more than half of the profitability. Fiber Solutions continued to see a challenging market in the FTTH segment. However, a large submarine cable order largely offset this decline, and we continue to see growth opportunities in this segment.

Reaping the Benefits of Data Center Build -Out

The Data Center business area reported another record quarter, with net sales of SEK 369 million —an organic increase of 62 percent. All entities contributed to this strong performance. Profitability also improved, with an adjusted EBITA margin of 15.3 perce nt, up 260 basis points compared to Q4 2024.

We finalized the acquisition of Communication Zone in Chicago. This addition expands our geographical footprint in the US Midwest, strengthens our customer base, and broadens our product offering.

Continued momentum in Harsh Environment

Harsh Environment delivered net sales of SEK 310 million, representing 15 percent organic growth and an adjusted EBITA margin of 11.4 percent, up from 8. 0 percent Q4 prior year. The strong performance was primarily driven by dynamic cables, which had solid growth and margins. Rochester Cable continued to execute on long term margin improvements during the quarter.

Turnaround program in full swing for Fiber Solutions

Fiber Solutions continued to face market headwinds, as in previous quarters. Net sales for the quarter totaled SEK 1.2 billion, representing an organic decline of 1 percent compared to Q4 2024.

We saw a continued softness in the FTTH market and the typical seasonality pattern where volumes tend to be lower in Q4 and Q1. This led to an expected decline in microduct sales. However, the decline was partly offset by a large submarine cable delivery during the quarter.

The adjusted EBITA margin was 5.2 percent . Continued FTTH market headwinds and the negative seasonality effect was partly offset by the strong deliveries of submarine cable and some effects of our performance improvement program.

The performance improvement program within the Fiber Solutions business area, launched in Q3 2025 and comprising consolidation of production and organizational adjustments in Europe, is progressing according to plan. During the quarter, earnings were impac ted by approximately SEK 30 million in restructuring costs, bringing the total program costs to the expected level of around SEK 230 million. In addition to this, we decided to adjust the capacity of our operations in Clinton, South Carolina. This measure is an expansion of the initial program and aims to adapt capacity to the prevailing market conditions. This results in an additional SEK 67 million in nonrecurring costs for the quarter, of which approximately SEK 58 million are non -cash items, and leads to total annual savings of SEK 120 million instead of the originally communicated SEK 110 million when the program is finished by the end of Q1 2026 .

Excellent cash flow generation and reduced net debt

The financial position of Hexatronic continues to strengthen. During Q4 2025, our interest -bearing net debt (excluding IFRS 16) decreased to SEK 1,582 million compared with SEK 1,706 million at the end of Q3 2025 with a n adjusted leverage of 1.9x, a stark testament to our financial strength as we acquired Communication Zone this quarter. Our operati ng cash flow was SEK 349 million in the quarter, equivalent to a cash conversion of 23 5 percent.

Financial targets

As we conclude the first year under our new financial targets, we remain confident in our ability to achieve them by 2028. The Data Center and Harsh Environment business areas delivered strong organic growth in 2025, increasing their combined share of the Group's net sales by 8 percentage points —from 29 to 37 percent, supporting our target of reaching 50 percent by 2028. For the full year, these two fast -growing business areas increased their combined adjusted EBITA by 42 percent over prior year and accounted for 55 percent of Hexatronic profits before group eliminations.

Meanwhile, Fiber Solutions faced another challenging year. However, we have implemented necessary measures to improve operational cost efficiency and position the business area to capture new growth opportunities in growing segments like submarine cable an d transport networks.

Outlook

With the strengthened SEK, the currency will continue to be a significant headwind to our top line but with limited impact on EBITA due to our localization strategy.

For Fiber Solutions, the challenging market conditions with industry overcapacity on duct and conduit are expected to remain, but we expect the North American business to gradually return to growth in 2026.

In Data Center, we expect the growth momentum to continue as we are actively driving the business for further growth both organically and through acquisitions, primarily through expanding our service offering. However, the pace of growth will naturally slo w given the strong base established in 2025.

We expect continued solid market activity within Harsh Environment, especially in the defense and energy sector, which will fuel continued organic growth. We are also actively looking for M&A opportunities, primarily within the connectivity solution segmen t. In parallel, we are working on gradually improving operational efficiency and profitability, primarily within Rochester Cable.

The order book at the end of the fourth quarter was in line with the previous quarter and amounted to around 2.5 months of sales.

To sum up — Q4 showed solid progress towards the strategy we have laid out. As we enter 2026, Hexatronic is stronger and well positioned for future growth. I want to extend a big thank you to our customers, partners, and especially our employees around the world. We are excited about continuing this journey together.

Net sales and growth

Fourth quarter October 1 - December 31, 2025

The Group's net sales in th e fourth quarter increased by 1percent to SEK 1,8 48 million (1,824 ). Organically, sales increased by 10 percent in the quarter, mainly due to continued strong performance in both Harsh Environment and Data Center, which was partly offset by weaker performance in Fiber Solutions. Growth from acquisitions amounted to 1 percent and is attributable to Communication Zone . Currency effects during the quarter amounted to -9 percent , with all currencies in the Group having a negative impact, but primarily due to a weaker USD, GBP , EUR and KRW .

During the period, sales in Fiber Solutions amounted to SEK 1, 169 million (1,299 ), corresponding to 63 percent (71) of the Group's total net sales, where we saw negative growth of 1 0 percent compared to the corresponding quarter last year. Sales in Harsh Environment increased by 5 percent to SEK 3 10 million (29 6) in the quarter, corresponding to 17 percent (1 6) of the Group's total net sales. The Data Center business area generated revenue of SEK 3 69 million (233), which represents growth of 59 percent compared with the corresponding quarter last year, and accounting for 20 percent (1 3) of total net sales.

Overall, for the Group, sales in Europe increased by 4 percent compared to last year, driven by growth in Data Center and Harsh Environment , partly offset by lower demand in Fiber Solutions. The lower demand in Fiber Solutions also impacted sales in North America negatively . However, Data Center and Harsh Environment were able to fully offset the negative impact from it resulting in 1 percent growth for North America. In APAC, sales in the fourth quarter decreased by 12 percent driven by Data Center and Harsh Environment.

Full Year Januar y 1– December 31, 2025

The Group's net sales decreased by 1 percent to SEK 7,519 million ( 7,581). Organically, sales increased by 3 percent during the period, while growth from acquisitions amounted to 2 percent and is attributable to Endor and Communication Zone . Currency effects during the period amounted to -5 percent, with all currencies within the Group having a negative impact, but primarily attributable to a weaker USD, GBP , EUR and KRW .

During the period, sales in Fiber Solutions amounted to SEK 4,870 million ( 5,441), corresponding to 65 percent (72) of the Group's total net sales, where we saw decline of 11 percent compared to last year . Sales in Harsh Environment increased 5 percent to SEK 1,241 million ( 1,178) during the year, corresponding to 1 6 percent (1 6) of the Group's total net sales. The Data Center business area generated revenue of SEK 1, 409 million ( 972 ), representing growth of 4 5 percent compared with the same period last year, equivalent to 1 9 percent (13) of total net sales.

For the Group as a whole, sales in Europe increased by 4 percent compared to last year. Growth was driven by both organic and acquisition -driven sales growth in Data Center and organic growth in Harsh Environment, partly offset by lower sales in Fiber Solutions. North America decreased by 9 percent due to lower price levels in Fiber Solutions and negative currency effects, partly offset by higher volumes. APAC sales increased by 1percent during the period, mainly driven by Fiber Solutions and by deliveries of major projects in Harsh Environment.

Fourth quarter October 1 - December 31, 2025

Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 133 million ( 182), corresponding to a margin of 7. 2 percent (10.0). The EBITA margin was negatively impacted by lower sales in Fiber Solutions compared to the same period last year, resulting in reduced capacity utilization in our factories. This was partly offset by strong development in Data Center and Harsh Environment. EBITA amounted to SEK 37 million ( 182), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 2.0 percent (1 0.0), which includes non-recurring items of SEK -96 million where SEK -28 million is related to the performance improvement program announced in connection with the Q2 2025 interim report and SEK 6 7 million related to the factory in Clinton, South Carolina as a result of the expansion of the performance improvement program .

Full Year January 1 - December 31, 2025

Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 632 million ( 803 ), corresponding to a margin of 8. 4 percent (10.6). During the year, earnings were affected by continued price pressure in Fiber Solutions, which was offset by increased diversification and higher sales and earnings in Harsh Environment and Data Center. EBITA decreased by 5 8 percent to SEK 334 million ( 803 ), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 4.4 percent (10. 6), which includes non -recurring items of SEK 2 98 million relat ed to the performance improvement program announced in connection with the Q2 2025 interim report and the expansion of the program which includes the factory in Clinton, South Carolina .

Profit after tax for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK –57 million ( 87) and earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK -0.27 (0.42 ). Tax for the quarter amounted to SEK -34 million (-39 ), which means that the average effective tax rate in the Group was -150.2 percent ( 30.9 ) for the quarter. The negative tax rate is explained by the fact that the Group recognized a tax expense in connection with a negative profit before tax. The tax rate is mainly affected by non recurring items related to the performance improvement program .

Full Year January 1 - December 31, 2025

Profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK -16million ( 344 ) and earnings per share after dilution amounted to -0.07 (1.69).

The costs have arisen in countries where the Group currently has no taxable profits. As it is currently not possible to assume with reasonable certainty that these tax losses will be utilized in the future, it is not possible to recognize any deferred ta x assets.

Christian Priess is currently Head of Fiber Solutions EMEA and have been part of the Global Executive team since 2019. Magnus Angermund, currently deputy head of Fiber Solutions EMEA will assume the full leadership role for Region Europe and remain on the Global Executive Team.

As a consequence, the Global Executive Team will reduce in size from eight to seven individuals.

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 a harsh environment are unaffected by seasonal variations, while Data Center often has slightly higher activity during the first half of the year and slightly lower during 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 abil ity 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 ex panding 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 performan ce 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 b usiness of advanced fiber optic sensor systems.

{21}------------------------------------------------

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 enterpri ses 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 interna l 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 bee n 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

On November 25, 2025, the Group acquired Communication Zone through Hexatronic Data Center Group Inc. The purchase price consisted of cash of USD 21.8 million, a contingent consideration calculated at present value of USD 2.6 million, and 6.4 percent of the shares in Hexatronic Data Center Group Inc. issued to the sellers. The issued shares are subject to a call/put option and are therefore classified as a financial liability.

At the time of acquisition, there were also two minor existing minority shareholders in Hexatronic Data Center Group Inc., whose holdings are also subject to call/put options. As all minority interests are considered likely to be redeemed, the acquisition is reported without any non-controlling interest. Both the contingent consideration and the redeemable minority interests are measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, with changes reported in the income statement.

The acquisition analysis below summarizes the preliminary purchase price for the acquisitions and the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities reported on the acquisition date.

{23}------------------------------------------------

Acquisition -related costs of SEK 2 million are included in other external costs in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the 2025 financial year. Total cash flow, excluding acquisition -related costs, attributable to the business combinatio n amounted to SEK 164 million. According to the agreement on conditional purchase price, the Group shall pay a maximum of USD 3.5 million.

The fair value of accounts receivable amounts to SEK 23 million. No doubtful accounts receivable were identified at the time of acquisition.

Net sales included in the Group's income statement for the 2025 financial year since the acquisition date amounted to SEK 12 million. The acquired companies have contributed an EBITDA of SEK 2 million to the Group since the acquisition date.

If the acquired companies had also been included in the Group during the period January 1 to December 31, the Group's net sal es for the full year 2025 would have increased by a total of SEK 184 million and EBITDA by SEK 39 million.

Acquisitions 202 4

On February 2, 2024, the Group acquired 97 percent of the share capital of MConnect, Ltd ("MConnect") for a fixed purchase co nsideration of GBP 0.6 million on a debt free basis. The acquisition of MConnect includes a put/call option to acquire the remainin g 3 percent after 2027. Both parties have the right to exercise the option, and it is considered likely that the option will be exercised, henc e 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 Icelandic Endor for a fixed 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 mil lion.

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 2023/2026 316,000 316,000 0.2% 96.20 15 May - 15 Jun 2026

Total 1,281,500 1,281,500 0.6%

In addition to above warrant programs, there are three ongoing long -term, performance -based incentive plans (LTIP 2023, 2024 and 2025) for 42 senior executives and other key employees in the Group who are resident in Sweden. The participants have bought 300,774 savings shares in total.

Under the LTIP, for each acquired Hexatronic share (savings 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 whole of the three -year vesting period and must, with some exceptions, remain in employment during the same period. In addition to the above conditions, performance shares also require certain p erformance targets to be met, linked to the development of the earnings per share after dilution, the Group's growth, EBITA margin and certain sust ainability targets.

The targets relate to the 202 3-2027 financial years. Hexatronic has judged that all the above conditions are non -market -related conditions 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 compleme nt to rather than a replacement for financial reporting in accordance with IFRS.
