We are disappointed in our result for the third quarter. It is not enough to simply wait for better times. We need to act on what we actually can impact. Considering the market challenges of recent years, it is clear that our actions have not been decisive enough. That time is now over. We need clearer priorities and more actiondriven leadership. This is now at the top of our agenda.
Our goal is an EBITA margin of a least 8 percent and that is our top priority. But we do not need a new model to get back there. Instead, we must refine the existing one by strengthening planning and risk management, along with ensuring that there is clear accountability at all levels of the organisation.
The new country-based organisation that we implemented during the quarter represents an important step in that direction. It provides a clearer structure and stronger foundation for achieving and maintaining our margin goal over time. A COO function has been established under each country manager, with responsibility for strengthening the culture of continuous improvement. We will also be introducing a mentorship programme, through which experienced leaders from our most successful companies will coach the CEOs of subsidiaries that are not yet performing in line with our expectations. We are strengthening collaboration and the exchange of knowledge and experience across each country, while continuing to foster local entrepreneurship – a cornerstone of the Instalco business model.
The organisational change is accompanied by an updated operating model that clarifies how we implement the strategy in practice. The focus is on efficiency and margin improvement, with each company expected to demonstrate clear, gradual progress over time. We are now establishing a Group-wide framework for operational activities, which defines the fundamental level each company must achieve.
Our philosophy is still grounded in autonomy with accountability. Now, however, accompanied by much stricter requirements and more rigorous follow-up.
We are well aware that our current leverage exceeds our own target. This is why we have kept a close eye on cash flow and a firm focus on resource efficiency across the entire Group during the year. It is also why we have deliberately held back on new acquisitions for a period, aiming to gradually strengthen the balance sheet and safeguard our financial flexibility over the long term.
Furthermore, we are preparing for the next phase, which involves fine-tuning our acquisition agenda. Our focus is not on volume, but on industrial logic – doing business and making acquisitions that make the whole stronger than the sum of its parts. We remain a company that builds and grows, yet always selectively and with a firm focus on long-term profitability.
Our establishment in Germany is based on precisely that logic: to grow where we see strong demand and can contribute with quality and efficiency. Our German platform, Fabri, is growing strongly and it confirms the attractiveness of the German installation market. Since our last report, a further three companies have been acquired, expanding the platform to 20 companies with broad geographic coverage and stable profitability.
Instalco currently owns 24 percent of Fabri, which is the first step in our multi-phase model. It gives us a foothold where there is

growth and the capacity, over time, to take the next steps in our ownership.
Growth and expansion also occur organically. Our technical consulting company, Intec, is a great example of this, and we celebrated its fifth year of operation during the quarter. When it was established in 2020, the aim was to complement the installation side of the business with design, project planning, and technical consulting, thereby engaging with customers already in the earliest stages of a project. Intec emerged from Instalco's startup model, serving as an organic complement to our otherwise acquisition-driven growth. Five years later, it has grown to around 500 employees, with 5,000 customers and around 40 offices in the Nordics. Intec consistently delivers margins above the Group average. It has evolved from a mere concept into an important component of Instalco's offering – a clear example of how entrepreneurship and collaboration can generate new areas of growth within the Group.
I have great confidence in the future. We move into the next phase with a clear focus, which involves harnessing the power of our entrepreneurship and raising the bar in how we lead and operate our companies. Step by step, we will strengthen our profitability and the Group's long-term value. This is something we must achieve irrespective of current market conditions. At the same time, we note that the long-term drivers in the installation sector remain strong, and our expanding order backlog suggests a gradual improvement.
The expertise, enthusiasm, and commitment within our organisation convince me that, together, we will turn the tide and once again demonstrate why we are best in class.
Per Sjöstrand CEO
The underlying demand for technical installations and services remains stable, driven by energy efficiency, electrification, and digitalisation. The market, however, is fragmented and there is considerable variation across regions. Activity levels increased slightly during the third quarter, particularly in the major metropolitan areas, attributable to interest rate cuts and a gradually increasing investment appetite. Public sector projects – including investments in schools, hospitals, correctional care, police and defence – remain key drivers across the Nordic region. Although price pressure persists in several segments, the growing number of available projects allows for greater selectivity and focus on profitability. The green transition, increased investments in security and defence, and the need to modernise ageing property holdings create strong long-term prospects for Instalco's business.
Order backlog at the end of the period amounted to SEK 9,026 (8,533) million, which is an increase of 5.8 percent. Organically, for comparable units, the order backlog increased, adjusted for currency effects, by 6.4 percent. The order backlog of acquired companies contributed with growth of 0 percent.
For example, five Instalco subsidiaries were contracted during the quarter by for a joint assignment at a new building that is being constructed for the Swedish Prison and Probation Service in Västerås. Instair, Intec, Inmatiq, Sprinklerbolaget and LG Contracting will be responsible for the design and installation of the electrical, heating & plumbing, ventilation and sprinkler systems at the new, 40,000 sq. m. facility. The order value for Instalco is approximately SEK 260 million and the project involves high technical complexity, extensive system integration, and stringent requirements for operational reliability. It is expected to be completed in 2028.
Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 3,028 (3,144) million, which is a decrease of 3.7 percent Adjusted for currency effects, the organic change amounted to -3.3 percent and acquired growth amounted to 0.6 percent. The impact of currency fluctuations was -0.9 percent.

Operating profit (EBIT) for the period amounted to SEK 428 (563) million. Amortisation and impairment of acquired intangible assets decreased by SEK 20 million and amounted to SEK 100 (120) million. The decrease is attributable to a lower rate of acquisition and lower proportion of identified depreciable assets.

The consultancy agreement entered into with the Chief Executive Officer does not involve any material amounts.
The Instalco Group is active in the Nordic market and it has a decentralised structure whereby each unit runs its own operations, with a large number of customers and suppliers. The business model limits the aggregated business and financial risks.
Instalco's earnings and financial position, as well as its strategic position, are affected by several of internal factors that Instalco has control over, as well as some external factors where the ability to impact the outcome is limited. The most significant risk factors are the state of economy and market situation, including inflation and interest rates, along with structural changes and competition, which impact the demand for new construction of homes and offices, as well as investments from the public sector and industry. The demand for service is less impacted by these risk factors.
Ongoing geopolitical and trade conflicts do not currently have a direct impact on Instalco's sales or purchases. The indirect effects, such as reduced willingness to invest among customers, potential disturbances in logistics chains and rising prices for raw materials that are not possible to compensate for in our own contracts, could however impact some of the subsidiaries in the Group. We are monitoring developments carefully, but it is currently difficult to assess what future consequences these conflicts could have on the market and economy.
For more information, please see the section on Risks (pages 43- 46) in the 2024 Annual Report. The Parent Company is indirectly impacted by the aforementioned risks and uncertainties.
On 17 March, Instalco took over a 24 percent minority stake in the German installation group, Fabri AG.
On 9 June, Instalco announced that Robin Boheman, would leave his role as President and CEO on 31 July 2025. Instalco's Chairman of the Board and founder, Per Sjöstrand, will then take over as the interim CEO. In connection with that, the Board has appointed current Board Member Johnny Alvarsson as Chairman of the Board.
In June, Instalco signed a new credit agreement for SEK 3.4 billion with its existing banking consortium. The new agreement replaces the prior one and consists of a term loan and revolving credit facility, both with a two-year duration and option to extend.
Instalco's new country-based organisation was launched on 1 September, consisting of these units: Sweden, Norway, Finland and Tech & Consulting. The 13 business areas that currently form the basis of the organisation will remain unchanged. As of January 1, 2026, Instalco's external reporting structure will change, and the current segments Sweden and rest of Nordics will be replaced by Sweden, Norway, and Finland.
Significant events after the end of the reporting period Nothing to report.
The Swedish market is showing clear signs of a cautious recovery, particularly in the large metropolitan areas where several major projects are underway or in preparation for tender. Clients remain somewhat cautious in their decision-making, however. The technical consulting market is strengthening, with a growing number of automation and digitalisation projects in the planning stage signalling a gradual recovery. At the same time, conditions remain weak, particularly in parts of northern and central Sweden where there is some overcapacity and low price levels. The industrial segment is mixed, with stable growth in electrical power and defence projects alongside continuing delays in major industrial investments.
Order backlog at the end of the period amounted to SEK 6,293 (6,429) million, which is a change of -2.1 percent. Organically, for comparable units, order backlog decreased by 2.2 percent. The order backlog of acquired companies contributed with growth of 0.1 percent.
For example, the Instalco subsidiaries Elektro-Centralen and Sprinklerbolaget won an assignment to carry out electrical, telecommunications and sprinkler installations in the Kaj 16 project in Gothenburg. The project comprises a new 30,000 sq m building on the quay along the Göta River, developed by Vasakronan. It will feature 16 stories, twelve of them constructed in timber. The project's total order value for Instalco amounts to SEK 180 million. It features a strong environmental profile, ambitious sustainability targets, and will be certified to LEED Platinum standards. It is expected to be completed during summer 2027.
Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 2,060 (2,166) million, which is a decrease of SEK 106 million. The organic change amounted to -5.7 percent and acquired growth was 0.8 percent.
Net sales for the period amounted to SEK 6,978 (6,964) million, which is an increase of SEK 14 million. The organic change amounted to -0.5 percent and acquired growth was 0.7 percent.
EBITA for the quarter was SEK 106 (119) million, which corresponds to an EBITA margin of 5.1 (5.5) percent. Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to SEK 90 (103) million. The outcome is attributable to low capacity utilisation and underemployment of resources.
EBITA for the period amounted to SEK 374 (478) million, which corresponds to a EBITA margin of 5.4 (6.9) percent. Operating profit/loss was SEK 327 (427) million.
EBITA adjusted for items affecting comparability amounted to SEK 438 million, with a corresponding EBITA margin of 6.3 percent. Items affecting comparability amounted to SEK -64 million during the period, attributable to an impairment loss on accounts receivable that was recognised in the first quarter.

In Norway, the market has stabilised following a period of weaker activity, with gradually increasing signs of recovery. The strongest activity is in Oslo and southern Norway, where public investments in schools, hospitals, defence, and infrastructure are continuing to drive demand. The residential segment is also showing cautious signs of increased activity in the lead-up to next year. Competition remains intense, but expectations of lower interest rates in the coming year are contributing to a more positive market outlook.
In Finland, the level of activity remains low, with residential construction and major private investments still on hold. In the Helsinki area, there are early signs of stabilisation, with technical consultants reporting a cautious increase in activity levels. A more widespread recovery is expected to take time, although energy transition projects and higher defence spending are likely to fuel demand over the medium term.
Order backlog at the end of the period amounted to SEK 2,733 (2,104) million, which is an increase of 29.9 percent. Organically, for comparable units, order backlog increased by 32.5 percent, adjusted for currency effects. The acquired order backlog increased by 0 percent.
For example, the Instalco subsidiary Lysteknikk AS was contracted during the quarter as contractor for the electrical installations at the new headquarters and media house for NRK, the Norwegian state-run radio and television public broadcasting company in Oslo. The building will span 50,000 sq. m. and is a technically
complex project with high demands for digitalisation, automation and sustainable solutions. The order value for Instalco will be established during the next phase of the project and the building is scheduled for completion in 2029.
Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 968 (978) million, which is a decrease of SEK 9 million. Organic growth, adjusted for currency effects, amounted to 2.2 percent and acquired growth was 0.1 percent.
Net sales for the period amounted to SEK 2,855 (3,118) million, which is an increase of SEK 263 million. The organic change, adjusted for currency effects, amounted to -5.8 percent and acquired growth was 0.5 percent.
EBITA for the quarter was SEK 75 (68) million, which corresponds to an EBITA margin of 7.7 (6.9) percent. Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to SEK 57 (45) million. The improvement is attributable to Finland and projects with industrial clients in particular.
EBITA for the period was SEK 164 (207) million, which corresponds to an EBITA margin of 5.8 (6.6) percent. Operating profit/loss was SEK 112 (138) million.

Instalco made one acquisition during the period January through September. Acquisition costs for the period amount to SEK 0 (1) million and they are reported among Other operating expenses in the income statement.
Instalco typically applies an acquisition structure that consists of the purchase price and contingent consideration. Payment of contingent consideration is based on future results. Companies that achieve higher profits over a specified period of time will thus be paid a higher amount of contingent consideration. Contingent consideration is paid within three years of the acquisition date and there is a fixed maximum level.
The Group's goodwill is the result of sustained and strategically driven acquisition activities. The amount allocated to goodwill on the acquisition date corresponds to the cost of acquisition less the fair value of the acquired net assets. The value of goodwill is motivated by the earnings capacity of our companies and it represents the future economic benefits of collaboration between
subsidiaries, cross-selling and joint purchasing. The benefits have not, however, been individually identified or reported separately. At the end of the period, the Group's total goodwill amounted to SEK 5,259 (5,304) million. Consolidated goodwill is tested for impairment as needed and at least once per year by looking at each cash-generating unit. Other identified goodwill, such as customer relations and the order backlog, have been measured at present value of future cash flows and as a rule, is amortised over a period of 3 to 10 years.
Instalco's acquired net sales over the last 12-month period (RTM), in accordance with the assessed situation on the acquisition date, amounted to SEK 55 million.
For more information on acquisition-related items, see Note 4 Impact of acquisitions and Note 5 Shares in associated companies.

The Company presents certain financial measures in the interim report, which are not defined under IFRS. The Company believes that these measures provide useful supplemental information to investors and the company's management, since they allow for the evaluation relevant trends. Instalco's definitions of these measures may differ from other companies using the same terms. These financial measures should therefore be viewed as a supplement, rather than as a replacement for measures defined under IFRS. Presented below are definitions of measures that are not defined under IFRS and which are not mentioned elsewhere in the interim report. Reconciliation of these measures is provided in the table, below. For definitions of key figures, see instalco.se.

New and revised IFRS and IFRIC pronouncements applicable as of the 2025 financial year have not had any significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. The implementation of IFRS 18, which replaces IAS 1 on 1 January 2027 will result in changes to the presentation and disclosures in financial statements.
The company's revenue, profitability and cash flow are impacted by seasonal variations and holidays, which limits comparability of the various interim periods. Instalco reports its revenue based on the percentage of completion of its projects. Accordingly, in periods with fewer workdays, the revenue of ongoing projects decreases. For example, sales and profitability during the first and third quarters of the year are impacted by the summer vacation period and lower level of activity. The industrial business area also tends to have its lowest level of activity during the first quarter, which is another reason why sales are lower in the quarter. The second quarter coincides with spring and early summer, when there is a higher level of activity than what typically occurs in the first quarter. The highest earnings tend to come in the fourth quarter, when many projects are completed.
The Group's operations are divided into segments based on the geographic location of companies. These segments are Sweden and Rest of Nordics, which are reportable segments for the Group. The portion of operations that does not yet meet the definition of an operating segment is reported as the line item "Group-wide".

In accordance with IFRS, contingent consideration has been measured at fair value via profit or loss. It is classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and reported under Non-current liabilities and Other current liabilities in the balance sheet. The fair value of other financial assets and liabilities does not differ significantly from the carrying amounts. At the end of the period, the Group's estimated total amount of contingent consideration was SEK 38 million, of which SEK 2 million is for acquisitions made in 2025.
The maximum, non-discounted amount that could be paid to prior owners is SEK 246 million, of which SEK 12 million pertains to acquisitions that were made in 2025. Revaluation of contingent consideration had a net impact on the period of SEK 10 (20) million, which is reported in Other operating expenses and Other operating income in the income statement.

Associated companies refer to entities over which the Group exercises significant influence, but which are neither subsidiaries nor part of a joint arrangement. Shares in associated companies are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognised at cost. Acquired assets and liabilities are measured in accordance with the same principles applied to Group companies. The carrying amount of associated companies includes any recognised goodwill and consolidation adjustments.
On 17 March, so called step 1, Instalco took over a minority holding of 24 percent of the votes and capital in the German installation group, Fabri AG. Instalco has an option-based, multi-step plan. In step two, Instalco will acquire a further 27 per cent of the shares in Fabri and in step three another 17 per cent from the current owners. The realisation of these steps is conditional on agreed thresholds for Fabri's earnings. The second step will result in majority ownership of Fabri and the inclusion of Fabri in Instalco's consolidated financial statements, which based on current estimates is expected to occur no earlier than the first quarter of 2026 and no later than the second quarter of 2027.
The Group's share of the post-acquisition profit or loss of associated companies is reported under Other operating income. The share of profit or loss is calculated based on Instalco's ownership share in the associated company and the impact during the period has been marginal.

Auditor's report on review of interim financial information in summary (interim report) prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and Chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554)
THIS IS A TRANSLATION FROM THE SWEDISH ORIGINAL
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated interim financial information in summary (interim report) of Instalco AB (publ) as of 30 September 2025 and the nine-month period then ended. 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.
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing standards.
The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated interim report is not, in all material respects, prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for the Group and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for the Parent company.
