CEO COMMENT

"A good start to the year with continued positive contributions from acquisitions"

The first quarter (April – June 2025) was a good start to the 2025/26 financial year. The market in general was stable with positive organic growth and continued good profit contributions from acquisitions. All in all, profit after net financial items (EBT) increased by 14% to MSEK 343 (302) and the operating margin (EBITA) strengthened to 17.5% (17.1). In addition, the cash flow was good and we continue to see an attractive acquisition market. So far in the financial year, we have completed four exciting acquisitions, which add total annual revenue of approximately MSEK 560 with good profitability.

The trends from previous periods continued. Net revenue increased by 10% to MSEK 2,473 (2,253), of which 3% was organic growth, 10% acquired growth and -3% was currency. EBITA increased by 12% and the EBITA margin strengthened to 17.5%. All divisions apart from TecSec contributed with good improvements in earnings and margins, which was mainly driven by continued high value creation in existing units and additional profits from recently acquired companies. This outcome means that we are steadily moving towards our goal of doubling our profit to MSEK 2 billion within five years, which we communicated in autumn 2023.

Once again, the result shows the strength of our business concept. As a serial acquirer without an exit horizon, we are growing by acquiring and developing profitable and well-run technology companies. This business model means that periods of weaker market conditions with lower organic growth can be offset by good acquisition-led growth. Our many subsidiary management teams make fantastic efforts in good and bad times, adjusting operational costs and investments to the prevailing market situation, applying our corporate governance philosophy of decentralisation, businessmanship, simplicity, accountability and freedom.

Acquisition activity has remained high. Since 1 July 2024, we have welcomed eleven new niche, highly profitable businesses to the Group, adding total annual business volume of MSEK 1,382. In June, Orax was acquired, a leading product and full-service supplier, particularly for the management of cemeteries throughout Sweden. We subsequently acquired the slightly larger units Epoke in Denmark, which provides winter road maintenance equipment, as well as Friggeråkers Verkstäder in Sweden, which manufactures sand and salt spreaders under the Falköping brand. Lagercrantz continues to have a strong financial position with the ambition of further acquisitions. The acquisition environment remains interesting, and we have several attractive transactions under evaluation.

Ahead of the coming quarters, we remain cautiously optimistic, despite the geopolitical uncertainty. The market situation is stable for most of the Group's businesses. Lagercrantz has a strong financial position, which creates resilience and opportunities for further acquisitions. We will thus continue on our chosen path of building 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 safety & security solutions, provides both stability and good growth opportunities.

THE GROUP'S PERFORMANCE

NET REVENUE AND PROFIT

First quarter (April – June 2025)

During the first quarter, the market situation was generally stable, but with some improvement compared to the same period last year. Demand continued to vary among the Group's companies and segments. It was strongest in the Electrify and Niche Products divisions, while demand from customers in the construction sector remained sluggish.

Total order intake for comparable units was in line with, or slightly above, invoiced sales during the quarter.

The increased geopolitical uncertainty and the introduction of new trade barriers has not had any significant impact on demand so far. Lagercrantz has a limited direct exposure to the USA, where direct sales to North America in the full year 2024/25 amounted to just under 4% of total Group revenue.

Net revenue in the first quarter increased by 10% to MSEK 2,473 (2,253), where acquisitions contributed 10% and the organic growth was 3%. Exchange rate fluctuations impacted net revenue negatively by 3%.

Operating profit (EBITA) increased by 12% to MSEK 432 (386) and the EBITA margin strengthened to 17.5% (17.1), where all divisions apart from TecSec contributed improvements in earnings and margins. The share of proprietary products continued to increase and amounted to 79% (76%).

Profit after financial items increased by 14% to MSEK 343 (302), where the increase was mainly explained by acquisitions.

Net financial items amounted to MSEK -35 (-34), of which net interest items amounted to MSEK -37 (-37) and currency translation effects amounted to MSEK 6 (2).

Profit after taxes increased by 18% to MSEK 263 (222), where the effective tax rate amounted to 23% (26). The effective tax rate for the previous financial year was 21% (21).

Earnings per share after dilution for the latest 12 month period increased to SEK 5.14 to compare with 4.93 for the 2024/25 financial year.

NET REVENUE AND PROFIT BY DIVISION FIRST QUARTER

Electrify

The Electrify division's net revenue increased by 20% to MSEK 672 (561), of which 9% was added through acquisitions, 13% organically and -2% currency. Operating profit (EBITA) increased by 37% to MSEK 123 (90), equivalent to an operating margin of 18.3% (16.0).

The market situation remained favourable within both electrification and infrastructure, which contributed to a strong first quarter with high growth and improved margins, both through organic development and acquisitions.

Improvements in earnings were noted in most of the businesses, with a particularly good performance in Nordic Road Safety, Elkapsling, Swedwire, Elpress, Elfac and EFC.

Control

The Control division's net revenue increased by 21% to MSEK 319 (264), where 27% was added through acquisitions, -2% organically and -4% currency. Operating profit (EBITA) increased by 46% to MSEK 51 (35), equivalent to an operating margin of 16.0% (13.3).

A stable market situation combined with successful acquisitions contributed to a good improvement in earnings and margins during the quarter.

CP Cases continued its positive development, while Leteng, MH Modules and Precimeter also displayed good earnings improvements. Meanwhile, several smaller businesses continued to face challenging market conditions.

The recently acquired He-Man in the UK, which manufactures supplemental and dual control systems for vehicles, has made a promising start in Lagercrantz.

In June 2025, Orax was acquired, a leading product and full-service supplier, particularly for the management of cemeteries throughout Sweden.

TecSec

The TecSec division's net revenue decreased by 2% to MSEK 525 (538), where 6% was added through acquisitions, -5% organically and -3% currency. Operating profit (EBITA) amounted to MSEK 84 (98), equivalent to an operating margin of 16.0% (18.2).

Several of the safety & security companies in the division performed well in a continued favourable market climate, for instance ARAS, Fireco, Frictape and Idesco. ISG Nordic and Suomen Diesel Voima also reported good order intake but began the year slightly weaker than expected.

The more construction-related businesses - R-CON, Door & Joinery, Principal Doorsets and CWL - remain affected by a weak business situation. The division's largest business, PcP, noted stable demand, but reported a slightly weaker start to the year.

Niche Products

The Niche Products division's net revenue increased by 15% to MSEK 569 (495), where 17% was added through acquisitions, 1% organically and -3% currency. Operating profit (EBITA) increased by 14% to MSEK 114 (100), equivalent to an operating margin of 20.0% (20.2).

Niche Products delivered a stable quarter, with a continued favourable market situation for the majority of the businesses. Prido - a leading Swedish manufacturer of industrial folding doors - continued to perform strongly. Even the recently acquired Van Leeuwen Test Group in the Netherlands has made a very good start in Lagercrantz.

Sajas, Profsafe and Vendig also delivered clear earnings improvements, while Tormek, Asept and Wapro performed in line with the previous year, partly due to a weaker market situation in the USA.

In April 2025, MT Miljøteknik ApS in Denmark was acquired - a leading manufacturer of safety products for freshwater and wastewater distribution networks. The company generates annual revenue of about MDKK 25 and is an add-on acquisition to Wapro.

International

The International division's net revenue decreased by 2% to MSEK 388 (395), where 0% was added through acquisitions, 3% organically and -5% currency. Operating profit (EBITA) increased by 1% to MSEK 70 (69), equivalent to an operating margin of 18.0% (17.5).

The International Division delivered a stable quarter with good profitability and carried out two exciting acquisitions in June and July.

The marine business Libra in Norway and DP Seals in the UK continued to develop strongly. Even other units, such as Tebul in Finland, Glova Rail and G9 in Denmark as well as Schmitztechnik and Unitronic in Germany, also contributed positively to the result.

In June 2025, Epoke in Denmark was acquired - a leading manufacturer of winter road maintenance equipment with annual revenue of approx. MDKK 240.

In July 2025, Friggeråkers Verkstäder AB in Sweden was acquired, which under the Falköping brand is a leading manufacturer of sand and salt spreaders, with annual revenue of MSEK 110.

PROFITABILITY AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Return on equity amounted to 28% (26) and the return on capital employed was 19% (20).

The Group's metric for return on working capital (P/WC) amounted to 75% (74).

The equity ratio at the end of the period was 34% (36). Equity per share amounted to SEK 19.75 (17.39).

The Group's operating net debt increased due to the recent acquisitions and at the end of the period amounted to MSEK 3,359 (2,342).

The Group's net indebtedness, including pension liability of MSEK 56 (62) and lease liability of MSEK 522 (455), amounted to MSEK 3,937 (2,860) at the end of the period, where the change was mainly due to acquisitions.

CASH FLOW AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

Cash flow from operating activities increased by 23% to MSEK 288 (235), where the change was explained by an increased profit.

Acquisitions and disposals, including settlement of contingent consideration relating to acquisitions carried out in previous years, amounted to MSEK 343 (11).

Net investments in non-current assets amounted to MSEK 46 (18).

OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Parent Company and other consolidation items

At 30 June 2025, Lagercrantz Group held 3,104,112 own Class B shares, equivalent to 1.5% of the total number of shares and 1.0% of the votes.

Lagercrantz's own holdings of repurchased B shares are primarily security for the company's obligations in outstanding call option programmes for senior executives.

During the first quarter, repurchases of call options amounted to MSEK 12 (63) and redemption of call options amounted to MSEK 4 (9).

At the end of the period, Lagercrantz had three outstanding call option programmes for a total of 2,313,000 shares:

1,382

During the first quarter 2025/26, three companies have been acquired.

In April 2025, 90% of the shares in Miljøteknik ApS in Denmark were acquired, a leading manufacturer of safety 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 winter road maintenance equipment and generates annual revenue of MDKK 240.

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 are estimated and have a book value of MSEK 420 (272). These fall due for payment within about three years from the date of acquisition and the maximum outcome can be MSEK 565 (402).

Remeasurement of contingent considerations had a net effect in the quarter of MSEK 9 (7). The effect on earnings is recognised in other operating income and other operating expenses.

During the first quarter, MSEK 0 (16) was paid in contingent consideration for previous acquisitions and MSEK 38 (46) in exercise of call options for acquisition of outstanding minority shares.

Transaction costs, including any stamp duty, for the quarter's acquisitions amounted to SEK 1 MSEK (0) and are reported under the item administrative expenses.

OTHER INFORMATION

Accounting principles

The Interim Report for the Group has been prepared in accordance with IFRS standards as adopted by the EU with application of IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Apart from in the financial statements and accompanying notes, disclosures according to IAS 34.16A are also presented in other parts of the report. The Interim Report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Securities Markets Act, which is in accordance with the provisions of RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities.

The same accounting policies and calculation methods as in the most recent annual report have been applied in the interim report. There are no new IFRS standards or IFRIC interpretations approved by the EU, which are applicable for Lagercrantz, or that have a significant effect on the Group's results and financial position for 2025/26.

Significant estimates and judgments

As of the financial year 2025/26, a new assessment is applied to two internal loans in DKK to the Danish holding company. The loans are now classified as financial loans, in order to better reflect the purpose of the financing, whereas they were previously reported as an extended net investment.

This change means that foreign exchange translation effects will henceforth be recognized in the Group's financial net, instead of previously in other comprehensive income. Otherwise, the company applies the significant estimates and judgments, as stated in the annual report for 2024/25.

Alternative performance measures

Lagercrantz presents certain financial metrics in the interim report that are not defined according to IFRS. The company considers that these metrics provide supplementary information to investors and shareholders as they enable evaluation of trends and the company's performance. They should not be regarded as a substitute for metrics defined according to IFRS.

For definitions and reconciliation tables for the key performance indicators that Lagercrantz uses, see pages 16-17.

Transactions with related parties

Transactions between Lagercrantz and related parties with a significant impact on the company's financial position and results have not occurred.

Risks and uncertainty factors

Lagercrantz's results and financial position are affected by a number of internal factors, which Lagercrantz controls and a number of external factors where the possibility to influence the course of events is limited. The most important risk factors for the Group are the geopolitical uncertainty and economic situation, combined with structural changes in the market, customer and supplier dependence, the competitive situation, pandemics and cyber security risks. For more information, please see the Risks and uncertainty factors section on pages 36-37 in the 2024/25 Annual Report. The Parent Company is impacted by the abovementioned risks and uncertainty factors through its capacity as owner of subsidiaries.

Events after the end of the period

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