Comments from the CEO
Continued organic growth in Data Center and Harsh Environment, with Data Center now being the largest EBITA contributor in Hexatronic

In Q1 2026, w e saw resilient organic growth for Harsh Environment and Data Center while Fiber Solutions continues to be challenged by weaker market conditions , mainly in Europe . Net sales for the group amoun ted to SEK 1,698 million, a decrease by 10 percent of which 9 percentage points were driven by FX headwinds . Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 146 million, corresponding to a margin of 8.6 percent.
Data Center is now the largest contributor to group adjusted EBITA. This reflects the business area 's strong growth and ma rgins , which have resulted in it becoming the largest contributor in absolute earnings terms. Harsh Environment continues to see strong organic growth while margins were muted on the back of an unfavourable product mix. Fiber Solutions continues to experience a challenging European market; however, we are starting to see the expected improvement in North America with organic growth in the important US market during the quarter.
Continued staunch performance by Data Center
Data Center continued its rapid growth with net sales of SEK 434 million, corresponding to an organic growth of 20 percent. Market activity continues to be strong, particularly in the US. We expect this favourable trend to continue and see a high level of activity and prospects overall. The adjusted EBITA margin in the quarter was 16.8 percent, which is sequentially higher than Q4 202 5, but a slight decline compared to Q1 2025 since we continue to make investmen ts into organic growth initiatives.
Organic growth within Harsh Environment
Harsh Environment delivered strong net sales of SEK 283 million, with an organic growth of 9 percent and an adjusted EBITA margin of 8.5 percent. The strong organic top -line performance was driven by both dynamic cables and connectivity solutions. Adjusted EBITA margin was lower than Q1 2025 , mostly due to unfavourable product mix which was exacerbated by timing effects lingering from the US government shutdown that happened in 2025.
We are truly excited to welcome JOWO Systemtechnik AG into the Hexatronic Group, starting April 1. JOWO is a German manufacturer and distributor of connectors and related products serving customers primarily within the defense sector. This acquisition supports our plans to grow the connectivity solutions segment and provides us with complementary technology as well as expanded access to key customer segments.
Restructuring program concluding in Fiber Solutions
Fiber Solutions continued to navigate a challenging market environment, consistent with recent quarters. Net sales amounted to SEK 982 million, corresponding to an organic decline of 11 percent. The weaker performance was primarily driven by softer demand in Europe, where an unusually cold winter added to a slow start to the year. At the same time, we saw gradually increasing
momentum in the US and a progressively stronger quarter that resulted in positive organic growth in this market. Compared to Q4 2025, we saw muted submarine cable net sales in this quarter due to timing of shipments . However, we have a strong order book for 2026 .
During the quarter, we finalized the initial performance improvement program announced in Q3 2025 . These cost savings were a key reason why we saw a sequentially improved EBITA margin of 6.2 percent. In fact, we realized most of these cost savings slightly ahead of original plan, positively impacting the quarter. The a djusted EBITA thus amounted to SEK 61 million, same as in Q4 2025 where we had higher sales on the back of large shipments of submarine cable .
Solid cash flow and leverage
As expected, interest -bearing net debt, excluding IFRS 16, increased slightly to SEK 1,672 million from SEK 1,582 million at the end of 2025, resulting in an adjusted leverage of 2.2x from 1.9x. This was driven mainly by negative FX effects and a comparison with a stronger EBITDA in Q4 2025 . We expect leverage to increase slightly during Q2 2026 as we are paying an earnout from a previous acquisition.
Our operating cash flow in the quarter was modestly positive at SEK 29 million with a cash conversion of 26 percent. This is in line with the typical seasonality pattern and also reflects higher accounts receivables due to a strong end to the quarter.
Outlook
The macro environment has undoubtedly become more difficult to predict. Recent developments have caused volatility in input costs and availability of mainly resin and fibe r, both of which have seen significant price increases . While these cost movements did not have a material impact in the quarter , they will play a growing role in months to come . We are responding with price increases , obviously with an ambition to fully compensate higher input costs with pricing actions.
We also expect continued currency headwinds from a strengthened SEK affecting net sales , albeit with less impact than what we have seen in the last few quarters. This will , however , have limited impact on EBITA due to our localization strategy.
In Data Center, we ex pect the strong growth to continue and margins to slightly improve in Q2 2026 . Our order book is strong, and customer activity remains at a high level with no signs of slowing down. W e have a robust M&A pipeline of attractive targets with whom we are in active dialogue.
For Fiber Solutions, we expect the challenging FTTH market in Europe to persist, with the market continuing to focus on shifting from building "homes passed" to connecting new subscribers. Conditions in North America are now validating our anticipated gradual improvement and are thus expected to result in a
continued positive organic growth in Q2 2026 . The demand for submarine cables remains strong and we have a rather full order book for the remainder of 2026 with main shipments scheduled for Q3 2026. As noted, the cost improvements from restructuring were largely completed in Q1 and are expected to continue at a similar level in quarters to come.
For Harsh Environment, long -term growth prospects remain favourable as energy and defen se sectors continue to expand. In the short term, we may see some further headwinds from the 2025 US Government shutdown in Q2 2026 , after which margins are expected to recover to levels in line with quarters seen previously . We are also actively looking for M&A targets, primarily within connectivity solutions.
The order book at the end of Q1 2026 for the group was in line with the previous quarter and amounted to around 2.5 months of net sales.
In summary, we continue the year with strong positions in our key growth areas and action plans for addressing external challenges. While the geopolitical environment remains uncertain, we are confident in our ability to manage short -term challenges throug h disciplined execution, an improved cost base and close customer relationships.
With the strategic shift towards Data Center and Harsh Environment again demonstrating progress and Fiber Solutions showing signs of profit stabilization, we are well positioned to deliver long -term value.

Harsh Environment
Advanced, dynamic cables and solutions for connectivity in challenging environments.
Net sales and profit
Net sales decreased by 1percent to SEK 283 million in the first quarter . Organic growth was 9 perce nt and driven by both dynamic cables and connectivity solutions. As previously communicated, 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. Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 24 million, corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 8.5 percent. A decline compared to previous year due to different product mix and timing of projects.
During the quarter, the acquisition of JOWO Systemtechnik AG was announced and closed on April 1, 2026. The company will be consolidated from April 1, 2026.

Significant events
In the first quarter
Hexatronic continue d diversification; announce d acquisition to expand its Harsh Environment business area
Hexatronic signed a binding agreement to acquire 100 percent of the shares of JOWO Systemtechnik AG, a German manufacturer and distributor of connectors and related products serving customers primarily within the defense sector as well as in the energy and broader industrial sectors.
Through the acquisition, Hexatronic strengthen ed its connectivity offering within the Harsh Environment business area. JOWO adds both complementary technology and deeper access to key customer segments, particularly in the European defense market. The acquisition supports Hexatronic's strategy to grow H arsh Environment a nd further diversify the Group's end ‑market exposure.
Hexatronic streamline d Fiber Solutions Management
Hexatronic simplif ied the leadership structure of the Fiber Solutions business area to consist of four commercial regions (Europe, North America, Asia and ANZ*) as well as global functions for Product & Innovation and Sourcing & Supply Chain.
As a result of these changes, Christian Priess decided to leave the company by the end of February 2026. Christian Priess was Head of Fiber Solutions EMEA and have been part of the Global Executive team since 2019. Magnus Angermund, previously deputy head of Fiber Solutions EMEA assume d the full leadership role for Region Europe and remain ed on the

1,937 Number of employees
Global Executive Team. As a consequence, the Global Executive Team reduce d in size from eight to seven individuals.

After the end of the quarter
Hexatronic completed the acquisition of JOWO Systemtechnik AG.
Other information
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 ability to ident ify 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 202 5, on pages 32-35.
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.
Transactions with related parties
There were no significant transactions with related parties during the period.

Note 3. Segment overview
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 a broad range of specialist services for the data center market, as well as adjacent services such as audio -visual installations and security and access solutions. Hexatronic designs infrastructure and cable solutions, plans installations and provide support and operational services — all to ensure that installations are carried out safely and efficiently.
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.
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 2026
No acquisitions were completed during the quarter. After the end of the reporting period, on 1 April 2026, the Group complete d the acquisition of 100 percent of the shares in JOWO Systemtechnik AG, a Germany -based manufacturer of connectors serving custome rs primarily in the defense, energy and industrial sectors. The acquisition will be consolidated from the acquisition date and i s therefore not included in this interim report.
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 per cent of th e 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., wh ose 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 a n 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.
| Preliminary purchase price as of November 25, 2025 | |
|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | 208 |
| Liability relating to redeemable minority (put option) | 52 |
| Contingent purchase price (not paid) | 25 |
| Total purchase price | 285 |
| Reported amounts of identifiable acquired assets and assumed liabilities | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 44 |
| Property plant and equipment | 3 |
| Customer relations | 45 |
| Other intangible assets | 2 |
| Accounts receivable | 23 |
| Other liabilities | -19 |
| Deferred tax | -9 |
| Total identifiable net assets | 89 |
| Non-controlling interests | - |
| Goodwill | 196 |
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.
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 |
| Warrant programme 2024/2027 | 330,500 | 330,500 | 0.2% | 55.30 | 13 May - 13 Jun 2027 |
| Warrant programme 2025/2028 | 635,000 | 635,000 | 0.3% | 34.60 | 13 May - 13 Jun 2028 |
| 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.
