COMMENTS FROM THE CEO
During the third quarter, organic growth reached 10 percent. Cash flow continued to strengthen, and we launched several initiatives aimed at driving stronger growth and improving long-term profitability. As the newly appointed CEO, I see great opportunities to harness the entrepreneurial spirit that runs through Humble and let it play an even bigger role in driving our performance. Looking ahead, it's about sharpening our focus, working smarter, and building an even stronger Humble, both operationally and financially.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Sales increased during the quarter to MSEK 2,093, corresponding to growth of 7 percent and organic growth of 10 percent, primarily driven by strong development in the Future Snacking and Nordic Distribution segments.
Gross profit amounted to MSEK 636 (608) with a gross margin of 30.4 percent (31.2). The development primarily reflects a changed product mix where distribution operations continue to grow at a rapid pace, as well as currency effects of MSEK -22.
Adjusted EBITA amounted to MSEK 143 (154). Our increased investment in sales and marketing of MSEK -119 (-97) reflects the ambition to continue building strong brands and driving global growth. Going forward, we will focus more on efficiency and profitability, without losing the entrepreneurial drive that built Humble. The lower gross margin in Nordic Distribution affects the profit mix, but the segment remains strategically important for our market presence and long-term growth
Cash flow from operating activities, after changes in working capital, amounted to MSEK 195 (142). We continue to work focused on optimizing inventory levels and strengthening cash flow. Net debt decreased during the quarter to 2.7 times adjusted EBITDA excluding leasing, with the goal of reaching below 2.5 times in the long term.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR FOUR SEGMENTS I remain impressed by the strength of our group and the ability to deliver strong growth in all business areas despite a challenging market situation. Our investments in innovation, efficiency and brand building continue to yield results and create good conditions for both continued growth and improved profitability going forward.
Future Snacking delivered strong organic growth of 18 percent during the quarter. Our leading brands continue to show strength and good profitability, while interest in Swedish candy is growing rapidly internationally. The launch of the global e-commerce swedishcandy.com further strengthens our international presence. The investment in Grahns Konfektyr's new factory in Skövde is expected to double capacity and contribute to higher profitability from the second half of 2026.
Humble Group AB Interim Report July - September 2025 3 Sustainable Care grew organically by 4 percent, driven by a recovery in our UK business and improved profitability thanks to rapid adaptation and effective cost control.
Order delays temporarily impacted sales, but new product launches, strong brands and close customer relationships are strengthening the segment's position and creating good conditions for continued growth.
Quality Nutrition delivered organic growth of 11 percent during the quarter. Gross margin was impacted by currency effects, while temporary sales and marketing efforts increased the cost base. We see a clear recovery in the production of nutritional products and good conditions for a strong end to the year.
Nordic Distribution grew 13 percent organically during the quarter. Through strong cost discipline and high operational efficiency, profitability is maintained despite a less favorable product mix. The business continues to create value through its strong store network and broad market reach, which benefits both our own brands and external partners.
LEADERSHIP AND FOCUS AHEAD
It is with great confidence that I step in as Acting CEO of Humble. As founder of The Humble Co. and former board member, I have followed the Group's journey closely and seen the strong platform that has been built under Simon Petrén's leadership.
Now we are entering the next phase. My focus is clear: to sharpen what works and change what needs to be improved and create a more profitable and focused Humble. Through improved cost discipline, more efficient processes and a focus on our core businesses, we will drive sustainable growth and strengthen cash flow.
The ongoing efficiency program is expected to generate annual savings of approximately MSEK 80 when fully implemented - an important investment to strengthen profitability and create long-term value. Since the program was announced, we have worked at a high pace and have made significant progress in its implementation, in close collaboration with our entrepreneurs. The program had a one-time impact of MSEK -52 in the quarter and is laying the foundation for a more efficient and profitable group.
In parallel, a structural review is underway with a focus on strengthening the core business and clarifying the Group's
direction. As part of this, strategic alternatives, including possible divestments, are being evaluated with the goal of creating a more focused, profitable and long-term sustainable group. The work is progressing at a good pace and aims to unlock additional value for shareholders.

NOTES
NOTE 1 – ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) as adopted by the EU. The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable regulations in the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The interim report for the parent company is prepared in accordance with ÅRL chapter 9.
The financial statements have been prepared according to cost method except for certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss. Information according to IAS 34.16A appears in addition to the financial reports and associated notes also in other parts of the interim report.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the Annual report for the year ended December 31st, 2024. New or amended IFRS standards, effective from January 1st, 2025, have no impact on the result and financial position of the Group.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The Group makes estimates and assumptions about the future. The estimates for accounting purposes that result from this will, by definition, rarely correspond to the actual result. The estimates and assumptions that entail a significant risk of significant adjustments in reported values for assets and liabilities in this interim report correspond to those describe in Note 3 in the Annual Report 2024.
The management's main estimates during 2025 relates to contingent considerations. The estimate is based on management's assessment of the probable amount to be paid given the terms of the share transfer agreement. The fair value of the contingent considerations is being calculated based on an interest rate corresponding to the remaining term until payment at each reporting date. The fair value changes are reported through the profit and loss via operating income and operating expense. The nature of the payments is generally a subject for Humble to decide, with a majority to be paid in cash but can also be paid with newly issued shares. This has a potential positive impact of the Groups cash flow and long-term net debt. The nominal value of the long-term portion is MSEK 12. A change in the estimate of +/- 10% could result in a profit or loss impact of +/- MSEK 1.2. See Note 11 for more information.
NOTE 3 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 2nd, the Board of Directors of Humble Group AB appointed Noel Abdayem as acting CEO after Simon Petrén, in consultation with the Board, has decided to leave Humble. There have been no other significant events with effect on the financial reporting after the reporting period date.
NOTE 4 – PARENT COMPANY
In March, the restrictions on the MSEK 150 term loan were released. In July, Humble expanded its existing credit facility by MSEK 300 and simultaneously extended the maturity dates of the credit facilities to 2027 with an option for Humble to extend by a further year. No other significant events have occurred in the Parent Company during the first nine months.
NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
No transactions with related parties have occurred during 2025 that had a significant impact. The minor transactions that have occurred relate to lease agreements regarding previous owners' properties. Lease agreements between the parties are based on an arm's length principle and on market terms and conditions.
NOTE 6 - RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Humble works continuously to identify, evaluate, and manage risks and exposures that the Group subsidiaries face. The Group's financial position and earnings are affected by various risk factors that must be considered when assessing the Group and its future earnings. A description of significant risks and uncertainties can be found in the Annual Report for 2024.
At the time of this interim report being published the war in Ukraine and the war in Israel and Gaza is still ongoing. Humble does not have any exposures towards these countries, and as such does not notice any direct effects from the ongoing wars.
I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
In 2025, the global economy experienced significant disruptions due to the US administration's aggressive tariff policies, leading to a slowdown in international trade and increased market uncertainty. Humble currently have limited exposure of export to the US and therefore estimate the potential direct effect of higher tariffs to be low.
Humble continues to monitor the situation and potential impact from decision-makers. Furthermore, the increased market price volatility regarding raw material prices is monitored closely to enable transition of price increases to customers in all material aspects and to protect stable operating margins.
NOTE 7 - SEGMENT INFORMATION AND DISCLOSURE OF REVENUE
The Group's chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer (CEO), who primarily uses a measure of adjusted earnings before interest, tax and amortization (Adjusted EBITA) to assess the performance of the operating segments. The CEO does not follow up the segments' assets or liabilities for allocation of resources or assessment of results.
For further information regarding the segments, please refer to page 6-7. See end of report for definition and calculation of key ratios and Alternative Performance Measures (APM). The Group financials consist of below combined segments.

This information is such that Humble Group AB is obliged to publish in accordance with the EU regulation on market abuse.
The information was submitted for publication on October 24th, 2025, at the time specified by Humble Group's news distributor Cision at the time of publication of this press release.
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF HUMBLE GROUP AB, REG.NR. 556794-4794
INTRODUCTION
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) for Humble Group AB as of September 30th, 2025 and the nine-month period which ended on this date. The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
SCOPE OF REVIEW
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim report consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
CONCLUSION
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.
