CEO COMMENT

"New advances for Lagercrantz"

The third quarter of the financial year saw further advancements for Lagercrantz. Business volume, earnings performance, cash flow, and contributions from acquisitions strengthened an already positive trend. The Group's consistent growth over many years has now led, for the first time, to total net revenue of more than SEK 10 billion over a 12-month period with a high EBITA margin of close to 18%. Cash flow was also strong, and we have completed 12 acquisitions in the past twelve months which will add just over 15% to the Group's total revenues.

With this strong performance, we feel confident about the future and have therefore decided to raise our ambitions. Having a successful 'buy and build' strategy, or in other words being an 'acquirer and developer', of niche technology companies is an attractive business concept that we have extensive experience of, and we have shown along the way that our working method and our corporate philosophy are successful. The earnings growth rate is well in line with our goal of reaching SEK 2 billion in EBT within 5 years which was communicated in autumn 2023. We have now also set new ambitions regarding our EBITA margin, where we want to reach 20% within 2–3 years and P/WC where we should consistently be above 60%. This means upward adjustments from the previous levels of >15% EBITA margin and P/WC >45%.

Businesswise, the quarter was successful where the trends from previous periods were reinforced. Most of our divisions contributed with strong earnings and improved margins, which was mainly driven by high value creation in existing units and good profitability in recently acquired companies. Our long-term performance demonstrates the strength of our business model which gives us flexibility to handle varying economic conditions, and where periods of lower organic growth can be offset by more acquisitions. Our many subsidiary management teams act with accountability, businessmanship and a willingness to change – in line with our corporate philosophy of decentralisation, simplicity, freedom and accountability.

Acquisition activity remained high. In the past 12 months, we have welcomed twelve new, niche and highly profitable businesses to the Group, which add combined annual revenue of more than MSEK 1,400. During the third quarter, the Swedish companies Sit Right and Enskede Hydraul were added, two leading players in products and aftermarket parts for forestry and construction machinery in Europe. In addition, we acquired I Holland in the UK, a world-leading manufacturer of premium tablet compression tools for pharmaceutical tablet manufacturing, which broadens our exposure to a new and attractive growth segment. Lagercrantz continues to have a strong financial position with the scope for further acquisitions. The acquisition situation is still positive, and we have several attractive transactions under evaluation.

Looking ahead, we remain optimistic about the coming quarter. Despite the geopolitical uncertainty, the market landscape is expected to remain stable, with a gradual improvement in our main markets in northern Europe, even though the construction sector continues to show low growth. We will continue our chosen path, with high ambitions, continuing to build a strong technology group with leading positions in expansive niches. The Group's broad exposure with niche B2B technology companies in attractive and sustainable sectors, such as electrification, infrastructure and security & safety solutions, provides both stability and good growth opportunities.

THE GROUP'S PERFORMANCE

NET REVENUE AND PROFIT

Third quarter (October – December 2025)

During the third quarter, the market situation was stable overall, with some improvement compared to before. Businesses focused on electrification, infrastructure and defence displayed a strong performance, while the recovery in the construction sector is taking a long time. In the Nordic region, businesses reported a stable and positive development, while sales in the US, which represents approximately 5% of Group sales, were impacted by the geopolitical situation.

Total order intake for comparable units was slightly above invoiced sales during the quarter and increased organically by 7% compared to the same quarter last year, adjusted for exchange rate fluctuations, which negatively affected order intake by -4%.

Net revenue in the third quarter increased by 16% to MSEK 2,854 (2,462), where acquisitions contributed 18% and organic growth was 2%. Exchange rate fluctuations impacted net revenue negatively by -4%.

Operating profit (EBITA) increased by 20% to MSEK 513 (428) and the EBITA margin strengthened to 18.0% (17.4), where the Electrify, Control and International divisions in particular contributed strong improvements in earnings.

Profit after financial items increased by 19% to MSEK 400 (335), where the increase was mainly due to acquisitions.

Net financial items amounted to MSEK -56 (-40), of which net interest items amounted to MSEK -39 (-37)

and currency translation effects, due to a strong Swedish krona, amounted to MSEK -18 (-4).

Profit after taxes increased by 18% to MSEK 314 (267), where the effective tax rate amounted to 21% (20).

Nine months (April – December 2025)

Net revenue in the first nine months of the financial year increased by 13% to MSEK 7,784 (6,887), where acquisitions contributed 14% and organic growth was 2%. Exchange rate fluctuations impacted net revenue negatively by -3%.

Operating profit (EBITA) increased by 16% to MSEK 1,387 (1,200) and the EBITA margin strengthened to 17.8% (17.4). The share of proprietary products on a moving 12-month basis increased to 79% (78%).

Profit after financial items increased by 17% to MSEK 1,086 (930), where the increase was explained by acquisitions and some organic growth. Net financial items in the nine-month period amounted to MSEK -132 (-117), of which net interest items amounted to MSEK -122 (-114) and currency translation effects amounted to MSEK -9 (-3).

Profit after taxes in the nine-month period increased by 17% to MSEK 837 (713), where the effective tax rate amounted to 23% (23%).

Earnings per share after dilution for the latest 12 month period increased to SEK 5.53, compared to SEK 4.93 for the 2024/25 financial year.

NET REVENUE AND PROFIT BY DIVISION THIRD QUARTER

Electrify

The Electrify division's net revenue increased by 17% to MSEK 706 (603), where 10% was added through acquisitions, 9% organically and -2% currency. Operating profit (EBITA) increased by 55% to MSEK 150 (97), equivalent to an operating margin of 21.2% (16.1).

The market climate was favourable within both electrification and infrastructure.

Improvements in earnings were noted in most of the businesses, with a particularly good performance in Nordic Road Safety, Elkapsling, Elfac, EFC, Enkom and Norwesco. Even Elpress delivered a stable, strong quarter and the recently acquired Mastsystem noted a strong result and continued good order intake during the quarter.

Control

The Control division's net revenue increased by 8% to MSEK 346 (322), where 16% was added through acquisitions, -3% organically and -5% currency. Operating profit (EBITA) increased by 30% to MSEK 61 (47), equivalent to an operating margin of 17.6% (14.6).

The quarterly result was affected by successful acquisitions combined with a generally stable market landscape.

Businesses exposed to the defence sector, such as CP Cases and Leteng, continued their positive development. Radonova reported a strong start to its peak season for radon measurements, and Precimeter and Stegborgs also showed good earnings improvements during the period. Meanwhile, several smaller businesses focused on the construction sector continued to face challenging market conditions.

The newly acquired companies He-Man in the UK and Sweden-based Orax both contributed with strong earnings.

TecSec

The TecSec division's net revenue increased by 10% to MSEK 630 (572), where 10% was added through acquisitions, 5% organically and -5% currency. Operating profit (EBITA) amounted to MSEK 90 (92), equivalent to an operating margin of 14.3% (16.1).

The quarter was characterised by a slight recovery in the construction market which affected several businesses in the division. Several of the safety & security companies developed positively in a gradually

{4}------------------------------------------------

slightly improving market situation, including ISG Nordic, Frictape, Idesco and ARAS. However, the more construction-related businesses R-CON, Principal Doorsets, Door & Joinery and CWL, continued to be negatively impacted by the weak construction market.

In November 2025, I Holland in the UK was acquired, a world-leading manufacturer of premium tablet compression tools for pharmaceutical tablet manufacturing, which adds about MSEK 335 in annual business volume with good earnings. The acquisition also broadens the division's exposure to a new and less cyclical growth segment.

Niche Products

The Niche Products division's net revenue increased by 17% to MSEK 652 (559), where 23% was added through acquisitions, -2% organically and -4% currency. Operating profit (EBITA) increased by 2% to MSEK 130 (128), equivalent to an operating margin of 19.9% (22.9).

Niche Products was hampered by weaker organic growth in several businesses, including Asept, Wapro, Truxor and Westmatic. The units were impacted by a slightly weaker sales trend in the US and by a weaker US dollar compared to the year-earlier period.

Meanwhile, Prido, which manufactures industrial folding doors, continued to perform strongly, and the recently acquired Van Leeuwen Test Group in the Netherlands continued to show a good performance. In addition, Waterproof, Sajas, SIB and Profsafe delivered clear improvements in earnings.

In November 2025, the two Swedish companies Sit Right and Enskede Hydraul were added, two leading players in products and aftermarket parts for forestry and construction machinery in Europe, which both got off to a good start as part of Lagercrantz.

International

The International division's net revenue increased by 28% to MSEK 520 (406), where 30% was added through acquisitions, 5% organically and -7% currency. Operating profit (EBITA) increased by 30% to MSEK 90 (69), equivalent to an operating margin of 17.3% (17.0).

The market situation was generally stable. Despite negative currency effects, the International division delivered a strong quarter with good growth and improved margins. The development was mainly driven by the two acquisitions, Epoke A/S in Denmark and Friggeråkers Verkstäder AB in Sweden, which were carried out in June and July, and both of which have their peak season in the autumn.

The marine business Libra in Norway, DP Seals in the UK and G9 in Denmark continued to show a strong performance. Unitronic in Germany also contributed positively to the result.

PROFITABILITY AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Return on equity for the latest 12-month period amounted to 29% (28) and the return on capital employed was 20% (21).

The Group's metric for return on working capital (P/WC) amounted to 80% (82).

The equity ratio at the end of the period was 32% (35). Equity per share amounted to SEK 19.9 (17.9).

The Group's operating net debt at the end of the period amounted to MSEK 3,956 (2,916), where the increase was explained by acquisitions.

The Group's net indebtedness, including pension liability of MSEK 54 (61) and lease liability of MSEK 492 (461), amounted to MSEK 4,503 (3,438) at the end of the period.

NEW PROFITABILITY TARGETS

During the quarter, the Board of Directors supported Management's proposal for updated financial targets. The ambition to double our earnings and reach SEK 2 billion in profit after net financial items within 5 years which was communicated in autumn 2023 remains. In addition, the ambition is now set to reach an operating margin (EBITA) of 20% within 2–3 years and that P/WC should consistently exceed 60% compared to the previous 45%. The latter applies as a target for both existing and acquired businesses in the Group.

CASH FLOW AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

Cash flow from operating activities increased by 12% to MSEK 540 (484) for the third quarter and by 12% to MSEK 1,093 (980) for the nine-month period, where the change was mainly explained by a higher profit.

Acquisitions and disposals, including settlement of contingent consideration relating to acquisitions carried out in previous years, amounted to MSEK 298 (511) in the third quarter and to MSEK 1,068 (714) for the ninemonth period.

Net investments in non-current assets, primarily production equipment, amounted to MSEK 75 (31) for the third quarter and to MSEK 171 (94) for the nine-month period.

In September, a dividend was paid of SEK 2.20 (1.90) per share, which is equivalent to MSEK 453 (392).

{5}------------------------------------------------

During the 2025/26 financial year, eight companies have been acquired. In April 2025, 90% of the shares in Miljøteknik ApS in Denmark were acquired, a leading manufacturer of products for freshwater and wastewater distribution networks. MT Miljøteknik is an add-on acquisition to Wapro in the Niche Products division and generates annual revenue of about MDKK 25.

In June 2025, AB Orax was acquired for the Control

division. Orax is a leading product and full-service supplier, particularly for the management of cemeteries throughout Sweden and generates annual revenue of about MSEK 50.

In June 2025, Epoke A/S in Denmark was acquired for the International division. Epoke is a leading manufacturer of equipment for winter road maintenance equipment and generates annual revenue of about MDKK 240.

{6}------------------------------------------------

In July 2025, Friggeråkers Verkstäder AB in Sweden was acquired for the International division. Friggeråkers, under the Falköping brand, is a leading Swedish manufacturer of sand and salt spreaders and generates annual revenue of about MSEK 110.

In August 2025, the Swedish company Qvintus was acquired, which manufactures and supplies instruments for measuring temperature and pressure. The company generates annual revenue of approximately MSEK 25 and is an add-on acquisition to Direktronik.

In November 2025, 70% of the shares were acquired in the two Swedish companies Sit Right and Enskede Hydraul AB, two leading players in products and aftermarket parts for forestry and construction machinery in Europe. The companies generate annual revenue of about MSEK 150.

In November 2025, 85% of the shares were acquired in I Holland in the UK, a world-leading manufacturer of premium tablet compression tools for pharmaceutical tablet manufacturing. The acquisition adds about MSEK 335 in business volume on an annual basis.

Lagercrantz normally uses an acquisition structure with a fixed purchase price and contingent consideration as well as options on any minority shares. The outcome of contingent considerations depends on the future results achieved in the companies and has a set maximum level. Not yet paid contingent considerations for acquisitions have a book value of MSEK 341 (340). These fall due for payment within three years and the maximum outcome can be MSEK 478 (513).

Remeasurement of contingent considerations had a net effect in the quarter of MSEK 6 (6), where the effect on earnings is recognised in other operating income and other operating expenses, respectively.

During the financial year, MSEK 141 (17) was paid in contingent consideration for previous acquisitions and MSEK 54 (0) in exercise of call options for acquisition of outstanding minority shares.

Transaction costs, including any stamp duty, for the quarter's acquisitions amounted to MSEK 6 (9) and are reported in the item administrative expenses.
