LATOUR AT A GLANCE

Investment AB Latour is a mixed investment company consisting primarily of wholly-owned industrial operations and an investment portfolio of listed holdings in which Latour is the principal owner or one of the principal owners. The investment portfolio consists of ten substantial holdings that had a market value of SEK 84 billion as at 30 June 2025. The wholly-owned industrial operations are grouped into seven business areas: Bemsiq Group, Caljan, Hultafors Group, Innovalift, Latour Industries, Nord-Lock Group and Swegon. They generate annual sales of just over SEK 28 billion (pro forma).

Chief Executive's statement

"The second quarter of the year was marked by continued uncertainty related to trade tariffs and macroeconomic conditions. Despite the challenges, the industrial operations' order intake developed positively and continued to grow during the quarter, driven by both acquisitions and organic growth. In the markets where we operate, overall demand remains at a relatively healthy level, although it varies across regions and sectors. The uncertainty is, to some extent, influencing customer investment decisions, leading to longer decision-making processes. This is particularly affecting the project-based operations within Swegon, Nord-Lock Group and Caljan. However, we are seeing a mixed picture, with Nord-Lock Group reporting a record high quarter for order intake, Swegon is organically in line with the corresponding quarter last year and Caljan slowing down. Hultafors Group is affected by the generally weaker construction industry in Europe, and is slight lower compared with the same quarter last year. We remain confident that our operations are wellpositioned to navigate the current market environment and, as in previous periods, we are fully prepared to respond to shifts in demand.

During the summer, some clarification has been provided regarding US trade tariffs. However, uncertainty remains around which products and materials are exempt, as well as the outcome of ongoing negotiations with additional countries. In line with the first quarter of the year, we do not see any material economic impact from the tariffs during the second quarter. 11 per cent of the industrial operations' total sales are in the US. Caljan, Hultafors Group, REAC within Latour Industries and Nord-Lock Group have slightly more trade exposure to the US. We have local production to some extent, but the figures also include exports to the US that will be affected. However, the overall impact is limited. Approximately half of total US sales are imported from Europe, representing 5 per cent of the industrial operations' total turnover. This includes certain products that have, to date, been exempt from the 15 per cent tariffs. Imports from China account for 3 per cent of the industrial operations' total turnover and especially affect Hultafors Group, which has so far been hardest hit by the tariffs with lower sales in the US. Caljan has continued to deliver on previously placed orders, but has noted a decline in order intake during the quarter, partly as a consequence of the tariffs. We will try to pass any additional costs incurred because of tariffs to the customer to the extent possible.

During the second quarter, total order intake grew by 9 per cent, 3 per cent of which was organic. Net sales grew by 9 per cent, 2 per cent of which was organic. New acquisitions boosted order intake by 11 per cent and net sales by 12 per cent. By the end of the quarter, the order book had increased to SEK 6,854 m, which ensures a good invoicing trend in the coming quarters. Adjusted operating profit increased to SEK 989 m (947 m) with an operating margin of 13.9 (14.5) per cent. We are maintaining a good cost control, but significant fluctuations in exchange rates are adversely affecting the gross margin in some parts of the operations. Cash flow largely follows the normal seasonal pattern and amounts to SEK 858 m (819 m) for operating activities.

We are continuing to make long-term and forward-looking investments in both new and existing businesses. During the quarter, Hultafors Group invested in increased production capacity in Europe by acquiring an existing fleet of machinery in Latvia. We regularly invest in our factories, in product development and digitalisation and, most importantly, in our employees to bolster future growth. Sustainability continues to be a core priority for us. We believe that being in the forefront is essential for being long-term relevant and delivering strong returns to our shareholders.

Due to the current uncertainty, acquisition activity was somewhat lower in the second quarter. Latour's financial strength do allow us to invest despite an economic downturn, but always in a prudent and responsible manner. Two great acquisitions have been made within the wholly-owned operations. One for Innovalift and one for Nord-Lock Group. These acquisitions, together with the five that were made during the first quarter, contribute just over SEK 1.8 billion to annual revenue growth. More information about our acquisitions can be found on page 4.

The stock market was characterised by subdued activity in the first six months of the year. During the period, the net asset value of Latour decreased by 1.9 per cent and the value of our portfolio of listed holdings decreased by 4.2 per cent. By comparison, the benchmark index SIXRX increased by 2.3 per cent. All of our listed holdings have now submitted their Q2 statements and overall, these are good reports given the global situation. The market value of the portfolio of listed holdings has increased again since mid-year, driven by, among others, ASSA ABLOY. This is also reflected in Latour's net asset value. The share price was SEK 212 when the stock exchange closed yesterday, equating to an increase of 0.7 per cent since the beginning of the year."

Johan Hjertonsson President and Chief Executive Officer

Industrial operations

Order intake, net sales and earnings

The second quarter order intake increased by 9 per cent to SEK 7,131 m (6,570 m), of which organic growth was 3 per cent. Net sales increased by 9 per cent to SEK 7,095 m (6,522 m). Adjusted for exchange rate effects, this equates to growth of 2 per cent for comparable entities. During the quarter, the adjusted operating profit of the wholly-owned industrial operations increased by 4 per cent to SEK 989 m (947 m). The operating margin was 13.9 (14.2) per cent.

The above figures only include subsidiaries of the whollyowned business areas. See the table on page 5.

Acquisitions/disposals

During the second quarter, two acquisitions were made within the wholly-owned industrial operations.

On 3 April, Innovalift acquired the entire shareholding of Syntium Lifts, a UK company based in Kent. Founded in 2010, Syntium is a leading specialist distributor of lift safety products in the UK, and primarily serves the rapidly growing modernisation market. The company has a turnover in excess of GBP 2 m, exclusively to the UK and Ireland, and a profitability well in line with Latour's wholly-owned industrial operations.

On 4 June, Nord-Lock Group signed an agreement to acquire 75 per cent of the shares in the UK company Energy Bolting Limited. The acquisition was completed on 1 July. Energy Bolting is a speciality manufacturer of bolts and nuts, mainly for customers that require high standards of quality, traceability and certification. The company has an annual revenue exceeding GBP 7 m, with profitability well above Latour's wholly-owned industrial operations.

Earlier in the year

On 7 January, Hultafors Group acquired the entire shareholding of the Danish company Lyngsøe Rainwear ApS. The company is a supplier of high-quality rainwear for professional end users and operates from its head office in Herning, Denmark. The company was founded in 1999 by Bo Lyngsøe, who still manages the business today. Lyngsøe Rainwear has some 25 employees and generates sales of approximately DKK 136 m with profitability above Latour's and Hultafors Group's other operations.

In early January, LSAB, within Latour Industries, acquired the entire shareholding of the German company HDS Group GmbH. Established in 1999, HDS Group is a manufacturer of saw blades and knives for the sawmill industry. The company has 64 employees and its head office is in Remscheid, Germany. Net sales amount to approximately EUR 9 m and the company's past profitability is in line with Latour's financial targets.

In early January, Swegon completed its acquisition of the entire shareholding of the German company Howatherm Klimatechnik GmbH. Established in 1969, Howatherm is a manufacturer of air handling units mainly for the German market, with a smaller subsidiary in Luxembourg for sales within the Benelux region. The company has 170 employees and its head office in Brücken, Germany, with net sales amounting to approximately EUR 30 m.

On 23 January, Innovalift completed the acquisition of the entire shareholding of Arkel, a company based in Turkey. Arkel is a leading Turkish manufacturer of components for elevators, for both new installations and the rapidly expanding modernisation market. Founded in 1998, the company manufactures and sells control systems, integrated drive units and a range of related electronic components for elevators. Sales amount to approximately EUR 70 m and its key markets are Turkey, continental Europe and India. Arkel has some 410 employees and its profitability is well in line with Latour's wholly-owned industrial operations.

On 14 February, Swegon acquired the entire shareholding of American Geothermal, a US manufacturer of heating and cooling solutions for both the concrete industry and commercial buildings. American Geothermal was founded in 1981, has 40 employees and its head office is in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Sales in 2024 amounted to USD 14 m. The acquisition strengthens Swegon's presence in the North American market.

Highlights

  • Order intake increased by 2 per cent during the quarter. Excluding acquisitions and currency effects, the order intake was in line with the previous year, although there was variation in demand across the business units.
  • Underlying demand remained good for REAC and MAXAGV, the markets are more challenging for the other business units.
  • During the quarter, net sales increased organically by 2 per cent.
  • Adjusted operating profit was mainly driven by a strong performance of MAXAGV, while the economic downturn, currency effects and investments for future growth had a negative impact.

Highlights

  • General market uncertainty had a dampening effect on both order intake and net sales during the quarter.
  • Excluding acquisitions and currency effects, order intake was in line with the previous year. The strong start of the year meant that order intake increased organically by 4 per cent in the first six months.
  • Net sales grew by 11 per cent, driven by acquisitions. The organic growth decreased by 4 per cent compared to corresponding quarter last year. However, key markets like Sweden, North America, and the Netherlands developed positively.
  • Adjusted operating profit was negatively impacted by the lower volumes and currency effects as well as investments in product development and other growth initiatives.

The Latour share's net asset value

In order to facilitate the evaluation of Latour's net asset value, Latour provides an estimated range of the value (Enterprise Value) for each business area based on EBIT multiples. The method used to calculate the value of the wholly-owned industrial operations is described in greater detail on the company's website, latour.se.

In some cases, the valuation multiples for comparable companies span a very large range. For this reason, the multiples may be adjusted in order to avoid unreasonable values. The indicative value stated below is not a complete market valuation of Latour's holdings.

During the first six months of the year, the net asset value declined from SEK 215 per share at the start of the year to SEK 207. The net asset value thus decreased by 1.9 per cent, while the SIXRX benchmark index increased by 2.3 per cent.

Latour's method of valuing the wholly-owned industrial operations is relatively cautious, and the fact that Latour

uses backward-looking comparables means that valuations do not always fully follow stock market fluctuations. The stock market's trend during the year is therefore not fully reflected in Latour's net asset value.

For some time, Latour's guideline for the net asset value has been considerably lower than the value that the stock market assigns to Latour's listed share. On 30 June 2025, the share price was SEK 249 and the indicative net asset value was SEK 207. As stated above, Latour does not claim that the valuation of the wholly-owned industrial operations is anything other than an indication. A net asset value can be calculated on a number of different bases. For example, the industrial operations as a whole could be measured against other established listed industrial groups with mixed industrial holdings and a clear growth agenda. The EV/EBIT multiple for these companies is significantly higher.

³Due to the limited trading in class A shares in Sweco, and the fact that the class A shares in ASSA ABLOY and Securitas are unlisted, they have been given the same listed share price as the companies' class B shares. Holdings consisting of both class A and B shares are reported in the table as unit. ⁴The cost of the class B shares are SEK 34 m higher than in the parent company through the exercise of call options.

Results and financial position

The Group

The Group's profit after financial items was SEK 2,544 m (4,008 m). Profit after tax was SEK 2,290 m (3,651 m), which is equivalent to SEK 3.55 (5.68) per share. The net impact of impairments and reversals of impairments of shares in associates on the income statement in the period was SEK -164 m (800 m). An impairment of investment in subsidiaries of SEK -152 m (0 m) has been recognised in the income statement.

The Group's reported cash flow was SEK -669 m (-720 m). The Group's total of cash in hand and cash investments was SEK 2,156 m (1,583 m). Interest-bearing debt, excluding pension liabilities and lease liabilities, totalled SEK 18,677 m (12,652 m). The Group's net debt was SEK 18,521 m (13,011 m). Net debt, excluding lease liabilities, was SEK 16,898 m (11,597 m). The equity ratio was 79 (83) per cent calculated on reported equity in relation to total assets, including undisclosed surpluses in associated companies.

In February, Latour updated the base prospectus for its existing MTN programme and, at the same time, increased the framework amount to SEK 20 billion at the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority. As at 30 June 2025, there was an outstanding balance of SEK 12,950 m on the MTN programme. Latour has previously issued a Swedish commercial paper programme with a limit of SEK 4,000 m. As at 30 June 2025, there was an outstanding balance of SEK 1,000 m on commercial papers.

There have been no transactions with related parties that have materially affected the financial position or the performance of the Group.

Investments

During the period, SEK 360 m (196 m) was invested in property, plant and equipment, of which SEK 204 m (132 m) was machinery and equipment and SEK 156 m (64 m) was buildings. Fixed assets in newly acquired companies account for SEK 199 m (24 m) of investments for the year.

Parent company

The total number of issued call options is 1,603,500, which give the right to purchase the same number of shares.

Events after the reporting period

CIO Johan Menckel has accepted the post of CEO at LKAB and will step down from his role at Latour by 1 April 2026.

Risks and uncertainties

The main risk to which the Group and the parent company are exposed is the risk attributable to adverse changes in the values of financial instruments, including a general decline in the stock market or in the value of an individual holding. This includes uncertainties relating to inflation, changes in exchange rates and interest rates. We managed these risks well in 2024 and are confident that we are ready and prepared to address any that may arise. Latour has a well-diversified holding of shares, spread across ten listed holdings and seven whollyowned business areas. This means that the development and performance of an individual holding will not have a drastic impact on the portfolio as a whole. As the wholly-owned industrial operations have increased in size, Latour as a whole is influenced to a higher degree by changes attributable to these operations. On the whole, Latour is deemed to have a good risk diversification in its portfolio, which covers several industries, with a certain emphasis on sectors linked to the construction industry. Construction can also be divided into several dimensions, such as new builds or government-subsidised repair, conversion or extension work, locally or globally, and housing, office and industrial premises or infrastructure projects. No material risks are deemed to have arisen other than those, including climaterelated risks, described in Note 32 of Latour's 2024 Annual Report.

Accounting policies

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and IAS 34 Interim Reporting in respect of the Group, and in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Corporate Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities in respect of the parent company.

The accounting policies and basis of preparation that have been applied in the Annual Report for 2024 have also been applied for the Group. A full description of the Group's applied accounting policies is presented in Note 2 of the Annual Report for 2024.

Changes to accounting standard requirements that came into effect on 1 January 2025 have not had any material impact on the Group's or the parent company's accounting as at 30 June 2025.

The Latour Group uses a number of economic indicators that are not defined in the set of accounting rules used by the Group, known as alternative performance measures. Definitions of the economic indicators can be found on page 23 of this report and in Latour's latest Annual Report. Details of how the financial metrics have been calculated for current and prior periods can be found in the set of tables in this report and Latour's latest Annual Report.

The Annual Reports for 1984 to 2024 are available for viewing on Latour's website www.latour.se.

This report has not been formally audited by the company's auditors.

The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer confirm that the half-yearly financial report gives a true and fair view of the company's and the Group's operations, financial position and performance, and describes the principal risks and uncertainties faced by the company and the Group's companies.

The acquisitions have been made with the aim of strengthening and developing the Latour Group's existing operations. The goodwill is attributable to the earning capacity and synergies that will be created when manufacturing and sales organisations are merged with existing operations. Some acquisition cost calculations are still preliminary and may change if new information becomes available. For 2024, no acquisition calculations have been changed.

Transaction costs for acquisitions made during the period amount to SEK 46 m. Estimated earn-out payments of SEK 150 m and SEK 17 m have been recognised for American Geothermal and HDS Groep respectively. Recognition of an earn-out is based on probable outcome. Final outcome, based on earnings performance in the coming years.

75 per cent of the shareholding of Energy Bolting Limited was acquired after the balance sheet date. Due diligence is being carried out. The acquisition is expected to generate in excess of SEK 90 m in annual turnover, and an operating margin well in line with Latour's other holdings. The purchase price has only a slight impact on Latour's financial position. The majority of identified surpluses will result from goodwill.

¹Level 1 – valued at fair value based on quoted prices on an active market for identical assets.

²Level 2 – valued at fair value based on other observable inputs for assets and liabilities than quoted price included in level 1.

³Level 3 – valued at fair value based on inputs for assets and liabilities unobservable to the market.

The basis of fair value for listed financial assets is the quoted market price at the balance sheet date. The basis of fair value for unlisted financial assets is determined using valuation techniques, such as recent transactions, the price of comparable instruments or discounted cash flows.

Hedging instruments consist of forward exchange contracts and interest rate and currency swaps and are included in level 2. Valuation at fair value of forward exchange contracts is based on levels established by the bank on an active market.

The fair value of accounts receivable and other receivables, other current receivables, cash and other liquid funds, accounts payable and other liabilities as well as long-term liabilities is estimated to be the same as their carrying amount. Market interest is not believed to materially deviate from the discount rate for interest-bearing long-term liabilities and therefore the carrying amount is considered in essence equal to the fair value.

The Group's valuation process is carried out by the Group finance and treasury department, where a team works with valuation of the financial assets and liabilities held by the Group.
