Interim Report January—June 2025
Lindab's largest business area Ventilation Systems delivered a strong result. The operating margin amounted to 9.9 percent thanks to increased gross margin and implemented cost reductions. Profile Systems' operating margin was 6.1 percent, due to low volumes in the project business. Market activity remained low during the second quarter and this, combined with negative currency effects, impacted turnover and results for the group.

Lindab's largest business area Ventilation Systems delivered a strong result, despite the challenging market conditions and negative currency effects. Price adjustments and efficiency measures contributed to a higher gross margin. Cost-saving measures are being implemented according to plan.
Ventilation Systems showed resilience and achieved an operating margin of 9.9 percent in challenging market conditions. Several countries achieved positive organic growth. The market for Profile Systems remains subdued within the project business, which puts pressure on profitability, but growth was seen in sales through builders' merchants in the quarter.
Many markets developed in the right direction, with both increased sales and improved profitability in key countries such as the UK, Denmark, Switzerland and Italy. However, sales remained low in Germany and Sweden, which negatively impacted total turnover and operating profit compared to previous year. The gross margin improved thanks to price adjustments and efficiency measures. Cost-saving measures are on track and will reach full effect in July. The business area demonstrated strength in a highly challenging economic environment, achieving an operating margin of 9.9 percent.
For Profile Systems, low construction activity continued to impact sales and operating profit. Major projects in the important Swedish market have not yet gained momentum. However, during the first half of the year, increased sales were noted in smaller projects and for sales through builders' merchants. This is a positive sign for the future.
Sustainability is a prioritised area and an increasing number of customers are asking for sustainable solutions. Lindab's sustainability initiatives are receiving considerable positive attention. In April, the Financial Times named Lindab one of Europe's climate leaders. In the 'Construction & Building Materials' category, Lindab secured a strong second place across Europe.
The acquisition of the British ventilation company HAS-Vent was completed in early July, following an in-depth review by the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). The acquisition of the Polish ventilation specialist Ventia was also completed in July.
The market situation continues to be challenging and unpredictable. Construction activity in primarily Germany in Sweden seems to continue at a low level in the coming quarters. At the same time, there are some positive signs on the horizon. Construction industry forecasts indicate an increase in building permit applications and higher construction activity in Europe can be expected going forward.
We conclude that sales should start to stabilise during the second half of 2025, before a more visible market recovery takes place in 2026.
In response to the market decline, Lindab has continuously implemented efficiency improvements and cost-cutting measures. We are continuing with further actions to strengthen profitability in the second half of the year.
Despite a subdued market and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, Lindab has a strong position with good prospects for the future. Long-term demand for energy-efficient ventilation and a healthy indoor climate remains robust. Lindab is well positioned to meet this demand, supported by long-standing customer relationships, a strong and sustainable product portfolio, well-invested production facilities and a highly knowledgeable sales force.

Lindab's second quarter shows lower net sales compared to the same period last year, driven by negative organic sales growth and negative currency effects. Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 3,253 m (3,520), a decrease of 8 percent. Sales growth in comparable units was negative by 6 percent, while currency effects had an unusually large impact during the quarter due to the stronger Swedish krona. Currency effects negatively impacted by 4 percent. The net effect of acquisitions and divestment was positive by 2 percent.
Construction activity in most of the European markets where Lindab operates remained low during the second quarter of the year, especially in new residential and commercial building construction.
Ventilation Systems reported a 4 percent decrease in sales in comparable units, mainly due to continued challenging market conditions, particularly in Sweden and Germany.
Profile Systems reported a 12 percent decrease in sales, primarily due to high exposure to the Swedish market and new construction, where activity still remains on a low level. Sales were also negatively affected by the closure of profile operations in Poland, the Czech Republic, and Estonia, as previously communicated. The effect was 2 percent for the quarter, as well as for the period January-June.
Net sales for the period January-June amounted to SEK 6,467 m (6,667), a decrease of 3 percent. Organic sales growth was -4 percent, and currency effects were negative by 2 percent. Effects from acquisitions and divestment contributed positively by 3 percent.
Operating profit for the quarter amounted to SEK 281 m (338). No one-off items or restructuring costs were reported during the quarter or the corresponding period previous year. The operating margin was 8.6 percent (9.6). The quarterly result is mainly explained by lower sales volumes, partially offset by improved gross margin and lower costs. During the quarter, the gross margin for Ventilation Systems improved due to targeted pricing activities and efficiency measures. Meanwhile, the gross margin for Profile Systems declined. The lower costs result from structural measures announced in the fourth quarter 2024, which had largely taken full effect by the end of the quarter.
During the second quarter operating profit for Ventilation Systems was SEK 250 m (276), and for Profile Systems SEK 44 m (75). Profit for the period was SEK 174 m (213). Earnings per share before and after dilution were SEK 2.26 (2.77).
Profit for January-June was SEK 319 m (330). Earnings per share before and after dilution were SEK 4.15 (4.29).

Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 2,531 m (2,654), a decrease of 5 percent. Organic sales growth was -4 percent, while acquisitions contributed positively by 3 percent. Currency effects were -4 percent.
Ventilation Systems reported lower sales compared to the same quarter last year, with continued significant differences between individual markets. Western Europe, the largest sales region, reported negative growth in comparable units, particularly in Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium, where construction activity remains low. However, other markets like Italy, Switzerland, and the UK showed positive organic growth. In the Nordic market, primarily Sweden showed weak development, while Denmark and Finland had positive organic sales growth. Sales development in Central Europe was neutral during the quarter, with major markets Poland and the Czech Republic reporting positive organic growth, while sales in Hungary declined.
Net sales for the period January-June amounted to SEK 5,131 m (5,161), a decrease of 1 percent. Organic sales growth was -4 percent, and currency effects were negative by 2 percent. Acquisitions contributed positively by 5 percent.
Operating profit for the quarter was SEK 250 m (276). No one-off items or restructuring costs were reported during the quarter or the corresponding period previous year. The operating margin was 9.9 percent (10.4). The quarterly result is mainly explained by decreased sales in comparable units, partially offset by improved gross margin and lower costs adjusted for acquisitions.
Operating profit for the period January-June was SEK 484 m (517). No one-off items or restructuring costs were reported during the period or the corresponding period previous year. The operating margin was 9.4 percent (10.0).
On 1 July 2025, Lindab completed the acquisition of the British ventilation company HAS-Vent, after all regulatory demands were met. In accordance with a decision by the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), two distribution branches were divested at the time of acquisition.
Lindab's acquisition of the Polish ventilation company Ventia was completed on 7 July 2025, following approval by the Polish competition authority. The acquisition complements Lindab's operations in the Polish market and represents another important step in increasing sales of technical ventilation products.

Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 722 m (866), a decrease of 17 percent. Organic sales growth was negative by 12 percent, and currency effects were -2 percent. The divestment of the Slovakian operation, communicated in the first quarter, negatively impacted sales by 3 percent.
The Nordic market, which accounts for about 80 percent of Profile Systems' total sales, continued to show low activity levels, especially in new residential and commercial construction. The recovery in the Swedish market is slower than previously expected, particularly for commercial properties. Some recovery is seen in sales through builders' merchants, although it represents a smaller part of the segment's sales. Sales of larger construction projects and halls remained low in Sweden and Norway, partly due to the relocation of sandwich panel production from Luleå to new premises in Piteå at the beginning of 2025. During the quarter several projects were postponed to the second half of 2025. Net sales were also negatively affected by the closure of profile operations in Poland, the Czech Republic, and Estonia. The effect was 2 percent for the quarter, as well as for the period January-June.
Net sales during the period January-June amounted to SEK 1,336 m (1,506), a decrease of 11 percent. Organic sales growth was -8 percent, while currency effects and divestment negatively impacted by 1 and 2 percent, respectively.
Operating profit for the quarter was SEK 44 m (75). No one-off items or restructuring costs were reported during the quarter or the corresponding period previous year. The operating margin was 6.1 percent (8.7). The operating profit is mainly explained by reduced sales and lower capacity utilisation, partially offset by lower costs. The lower costs are a result of structural measures implemented last year to adjust the segment's fixed costs and improve profitability.
Operating profit for the period January-June was SEK 51 m (72). No one-off items or restructuring costs were reported during the period or the corresponding period previous year. The operating margin was 3.8 percent (4.8).
During the quarter, Lindab completed the divestment of its operations in Slovakia to local investors. The divestment was part of the previously announced restructuring within the Profile Systems business area in Eastern Europe. The company's operations are mainly related to Profile Systems, however the ventilation business was also included in the divestment as it represents a minor part. The divestment was completed in April as planned.

Cash flow from operating activities for the quarter amounted to SEK 331 m (342). Change in working capital amounted to SEK -130 m (-27) for the quarter and was mainly affected by the net cash flow effect from changes in operating receivables/liabilities. Operating profit for the quarter amounted to SEK 281 m (338).
Cash flow from investing activities, excluding business combinations, amounted net to SEK -75 m (-75) during the quarter. The cash flow included an effect from the sale of tangible fixed assets of SEK 1 m (1). Cash flow related to acquisitions and divestment amounted to SEK 37 m (-39), whereof SEK -9 m (-30) relates to payment of conditional additional purchase considerations from previously made acquisitions.

Cash flow from operating activities for the period January-June amounted to SEK 491 m (550). The change of capital tied up in stock increased by SEK 30 m (decreased by 73) during the period. The negative cash flow effect from change in working capital was partly off set by the Group's increased cash flow from operating
activities before change in working capital, which increased to SEK 697 m (676). Operating profit for the period amounted to SEK 509 m (563).
Cash flow from investing activities, excluding business combinations, amounted net to SEK -158 m (-136) during the period January-June.

Cash flow from financing activities for the period January-June amounted to SEK -368 m (764). This included amortisation of SEK -193 m (-183) related to leasing liabilities and dividend to shareholders of SEK 208 m (207). Other changes in financing activities were mainly related to changes in borrowings and utilisation of credit limits.
On 30 June, net debt amounted to SEK 4,456 m (4,517) of which SEK 1,504 m (1,480) was related to leasing liabilities.
The equity/assets ratio was 46 percent (46), and the net debt/ equity ratio was 0.6 (0.6). Financial items for the quarter amounted to



SEK -60 m (-66). The change in financial items was mainly related to currency revaluation of additional purchase consideration in relation to acquisition of foreign company and lower interest expenses.
Existing credit facility agreement of SEK 4,050 m and EUR 120 m with Nordea, DNB Bank, Svenska Handelsbanken and Danske Bank has been extended with one year and is now valid until the second quarter of 2028. Another extension option of one year remains to be utilised. The agreement is subject to a covenant with quarterly monitoring. Lindab fulfilled the conditions on 30 June 2025.
From January 2025, the credit facility is linked to three sustainability targets. These targets are reviewed annually and the margin adjustment on the credit facility is based on how well Lindab performs in relation to the established targets. The sustainability link underlines Lindab's commitment to integrating sustainability into all aspects of its operations.
Lindab's credit facility is linked to the following targets:
Safe work environment: An improvement in workplace safety through a reduction in LTIF (Lost Time Injury Frequency).
Reduced emissions within scope 1 and 2: A continuous reduction of the company's direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions related to its own operations.
Reduced emissions from purchased steel (part of scope 3): A reduction of emissions linked to purchased steel used in Lindab's products.
On 1 April, all shares and voting rights in the Slovak company Lindab a.s. were divested. The divestment is part of the previously announced restructuring within the Profile Systems business area in Eastern Europe. Lindab's Slovak operations generate annual sales of approximately SEK 100 m and has approximately 50 employees.
For further information about above, see Note 3.
Lindab has the following financial targets for growth, profitability and net debt:

1) Growth excluding currency effects.
2) The outcome for annual growth including divested business was 13.0 percent in 2022 and 18.5 percent in 2021. Adjusted operating margin including divested business was 12.2 percent in 2021.
3) Net debt/EBITDA is calculated including IFRS 16 and adjusted for one-off
items and restructuring costs. Financial net debt/EBITDA amounted to 2.1 in Q2 2025 R 12M, 2.0 in 2024, 1.4 in 2023, 1.0 in 2022 and 0.4 in 2021. For complete definition of financial net debt and financial net debt/EBITDA, see page 26. 4) Including the previous segment Building Systems, which was divested in 2021.
Up to 95 percent of today's buildings in the EU are expected to still be in use by 2050, while two-thirds are considered energy inefficient1). With new requirements such as the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), there is significant business potential in renovation. To meet climate targets, renovation must be carried out with low climate impact, both in terms of materials and operation. Circular solutions such as design based on a life cycle perspective, system upgrades, reuse, and recycling will therefore be essential.
Lindab Interim Report January-June 2025
Lindab offers solutions for the digital upgrade of existing ventilation systems, a highly circular approach, as it builds on and improves what is already in place. By combining installed systems with new technology, energy consumption can be significantly reduced, while improving indoor air quality and minimizing the climate impact of new materials.
One example is Lindab's collaboration with a Swedish property owner, where an existing Pascal system was upgraded with modern technology for visualisation of the ventilation system. Pascal is a demand-controlled system that optimises airflow and can be connected to the building's overall management system
(BMS). With Lindab's new visualisation solution, the property owner gains increased transparency and control over system performance, something that has previously been difficult, as ventilation systems are often hidden and malfunctions hard to detect.
The visualisation enables real-time identification of malfunctions and optimisation of energy use across the building, improving both indoor climate and energy efficiency. By combining technological development with a circular approach, Lindab contributes to reducing the climate impact of buildings throughout their entire lifecycle, from construction and operation to renovation and management.

New technology enables significant reductions in energy consumption.

Lindab International AB (publ), corporate identification number 556606-5446, is a registered limited liability company with its domicile in Båstad, Sweden. The Lindab share is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, Large Cap.
Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 1 m (1). Profit for the period amounted to SEK 713 m (0) and includes dividends from shares in subsidiaries amounting to SEK 719 m (-).
Net sales for the period January-June amounted to SEK 3 m (3). Profit for the period amounted to SEK 710 m (2) and includes dividends from shares in subsidiaries amounting to SEK 719 m (-).
There have been no significant changes in relation to what was stated by Lindab in its Annual Report for 2024 under Risks and Risk Management (pages 62-63).
The number of employees, calculated as full-time equivalent employees, was 4,995 (5,198) at the end of the quarter. Adjusted for acquisitions and divestments, the net decrease was 222 (97) employees compared to the same quarter previous year.
Lindab's business is affected by seasonal variations in the construction industry, and the highest proportion of net sales is normally seen during the second half of the year. The largest seasonal variations can be found in the segment Profile Systems. Ventilation products are mainly installed indoors which is why the Ventilation Systems segment is less dependent on season or weather conditions.
Principles regarding guidelines for remuneration of senior executives were last adopted at the Annual General Meeting in 2024, principles that, according to a resolution, must be presented for adoption at the Annual General Meeting at least every four years. According to adopted guidelines, the remuneration program for senior executives shall among other things include variable cash pay elements. Theses variable elements shall be based on measurable criteria, which reflects predetermined financial, sustainable and qualitative targets for Lindab. Based on previous resolution at the Annual General Meeting, a long-term incentive program has been implemented in 2025. The program has a three-year measuring period and any outcome in terms of long-term variable cash pay is presumed to be invested in shares or share related instruments in Lindab on market terms. Long-term incentive programs from 2023 respectively 2024 have essentially the same principles as the program for 2025 and these programs measuring period are 2023-2025 respectively 2024-2026.
At the Annual General Meeting in May 2025, it was resolved to establish a share option program for senior executives in Lindab Group through a directed issue of maximum 275,000 share options. As a result of this program, 182,000 share options have been subscribed during the second quarter by senior executives in Lindab, according to a market valuation determined on the basis of the agreement. Liquidity regulation and thereby distribution of the share options to the participants has taken place during the beginning of the third quarter. Each share option entitles the holder to acquire one share in Lindab at an exercise price of SEK 255.20. Acquisitions of shares supported by share options may take place after Lindab has published the Q2 interim report for the first half of 2028 and up to and including 31 August of the same year. At the Annual General Meeting in 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively, there were also resolutions to implement share option programs for senior executives. From the 2022 share option program there are 238,050 outstanding share options with a subscription price of SEK 219.90 exercisable in summer 2025. From the 2023 share option program there are 225,500 outstanding share options with a subscription price of SEK 209.70 exercisable during summer 2026. From the 2024 share option program there are 275,000 outstanding share options with a subscription price of SEK 264.50 exercisable during summer 2027.
At Lindab International AB's Annual General Meeting on 13 May 2025, the following resolutions were made, among other things:
For further information, see documents from Lindab International AB's Annual General Meeting available at www.lindabgroup.com
In April, Lindab completed the divestment of its Slovak subsidiary Lindab a.s., see Note 3.
There are no other significant events during the reporting period to report.
On 1 July, Lindab completed the acquisition of the British ventilation company HAS-Vent Holdings Ltd, following the fulfilment of all regulatory demands.

On 1 July 2025, Lindab was able to complete the acquisition of the British ventilation company HAS-Vent Holdings Ltd, following the fulfilment of all regulatory demands. In accordance with a decision by the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), two distribution branches were divested in connection with the closing. HAS-Vent has been consolidated in Lindab since 5 October 2023.
Following the acquisition, Lindab and HAS-Vent together operate more than 30 distribution branches across the UK. The acquisition complements Lindab's existing offering with local manufacturing capabilities and strengthens both the Ventilation Systems segment and the Group's market position in the UK, one of Europe's most important ventilation markets.
On 1 April 2025, the divestment of Lindab a.s., Slovakia was completed. The divestment, which forms part of the previously announced restructuring within the Profile Systems business area in Eastern Europe, generated a positive cash flow for the Group of SEK 46 m. The gain on the divestment amounts to SEK 6 m and is reported under Other operating income.
Up until the date of divestment, Lindab's operations in Slovakia generated net sales of approximately SEK 19 m. On an annual basis, the operations accounted for around SEK 100 m in net sales and involved approximately 50 employees. Fur further details, see Note 4.
On 12 March 2025, Lindab signed an agreement to acquire all shares and voting rights of the Polish company Ventia Sp. z o.o. Following clearance from the Polish competition authority in May, the acquisition was completed on 7 July 2025. The registered office of Ventia Sp. z o.o. is in Raszyn, outside Warsaw. The company generates annual sales of approximately SEK 240 m with an operating margin in line with the Lindab Group. The company has around 60 employees and will be consolidated under the Ventilation Systems segment. The acquisition strengthens Lindab's position in technical ventilation products in Poland.
Adjustments of conditional additional purchase consideration, from the acquisition date to the date of settlement, are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. The financial effects of changes in assessments are recognised as other operating income and other operating expenses, respectively. The impact of discounting in regards of additional purchase consideration to net present value is recognised in the Group's net financial items together with any exchange differences arising.
During the second quarter operating profit has been impacted by an income of SEK 1 m, related to changes in assessments regarding recognised additional purchase considerations. The corresponding amount for the period January-June amounted to SEK 4 m. The financial effects from changes in assessments are recognised as other operating income. In addition, the Group's net financial items were impacted by an expense of SEK 3 m during the quarter and SEK 6 m for the period January-June related to discounting effects of conditional additional purchase consideration measured at fair value in accordance with level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Furthermore, unrealised foreign exchange effects resulted in an expense of SEK 8 m in the quarter and an income of SEK 9 m for the period January-June. For further details, see Note 8.
Conditional additional purchase considerations will be settled fully or partly depending on future expectations of identified levels of profitability are met during a period of 2 or 3 years. Total possible undiscounted amount of all outstanding future conditional additional purchase consideration is between SEK 0-667 m. As of 30 June 2025, it was considered likely that 53 percent of maximum remaining consideration would occur.
On 11 December 2024, Lindab announced its decision to restructure operations in Eastern Europe, with the aim of fully focusing on the Group's ventilation business in the region. The decision followed a strategic review of Profile Systems within the affected markets.
As a result of the restructuring, the profile operations in the Czech Republic, Poland and Estonia were closed during the first quarter of 2025. The operation in Slovakia was divested on 1 April 2025, see Note 3. Lindab intends to divest the remaining profile operations in Romania and Hungary during the second half of 2025.
Following the decision and taking into account the organisational and financial structure of the respective units, all relevant criteria under IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are assessed to be met for the operations in Slovakia, Romania and Hungary. These units have therefore been classified as assets held for sale at the end of the fourth quarter, 2024. A summary of the assets recognised as held for sale as per 30 June 2025, is presented as follows in accordance with the aforementioned standard.
| SEK m | June 30, 2025 |

| Goodwill and other intangible assets | 9 |

The decision to divest and close all profile operations in Eastern Europe impacts approximately 250 employees within Lindab. In 2024, net sales for the affected profile businesses in Eastern Europe amounted to SEK 506 m, with an adjusted operating profit of SEK -20 m. Net sales for the first six months 2025 amounted to SEK 191 m, with an adjusted operating profit of SEK 8 m.
The Group's segments comprise Ventilation Systems and Profile Systems. The basis for segmental reporting is the various customer offers provided by each business area. The customer offers within each segment were as follows:
Both Ventilation Systems' and Profile Systems' operations are managed based on geographically divided sales organisations, which are supported by a number of product and system areas with joint production and purchasing functions for each business area. What is reported under Other includes the Parent Company and other common functions.
Information on income from external customers and adjusted operating profit per operating segment is presented in the tables on page 11. See also pages 4-5 for further segment information.
Internal prices between the Group's segments are set based on the principle of arm's length, that is, between parties that are independent of each other, well-informed and have an interest in the transaction being carried out. Assets and investments are reported where the asset exists.
Investments in intangible assets and tangible fixed assets during the quarter amounted to SEK 76 m (76), of which SEK 36 m (14) was related to investments in intangible assets.
Investments in intangible assets and tangible fixed assets during the period January-June amounted to SEK 162 m (140) of which SEK 65 m (21) was related to investments in intangible assets.
Depreciation and amortisation for the quarter amounted to SEK 163 m (169), of which SEK 19 m (18) was related to intangible assets and SEK 94 m (93) to right-of-use assets attributable to rental and lease agreements. SEK 0 m (-) impairment losses have been reported in the quarter.
Depreciation and amortisation for the period January-June amounted to SEK 337 m (331), of which SEK 37 m (33) was related to intangible assets and SEK 193 m (183) to right-of-use assets attributable to rental and lease agreements. SEK 0 m (-) impairment losses have been reported during the period.

1) Other non-current liabilities related to additional purchase consideration were affected in the second quarter of 2024 by unrealised currency translation effects and discounting effects, resulting in an income of SEK 2 m recognised in financial items. The corresponding amount for the period January-June 2024 was an expense of SEK 14 m. 2) Other current liabilities related to additional purchase consideration were affected in the second quarter of 2025 by unrealised currency translation effects and discounting
effects, resulting in an expense of SEK 11 m recognised in financial items. The corresponding amount for the period January-June 2025 was an income of SEK 3 m.
Derivatives relate to forward exchange contracts which are valued at fair value by discounting the difference between the contracted forward rate and the forward rate that can be subscribed for on the balance sheet date for the remaining contract term. Derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are recognised can all be found at Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, based on the definition of IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement.
The fair value of interest-bearing liabilities to credit institutions is provided for the purpose of disclosure and is calculated by discounting the future cash flows of principal and interest payments, discounted at current market interest rate.
Other non-current and other current liabilities relate to financial liabilities regarding conditional additional purchase consideration in terms of business combinations, measured at fair value. The fair value has been determined by discounting of cash flows related to Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, based on the definition of IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement. Recognised fair value corresponds to the present value from discounting a probability weighted average of potential future cash flows, which are assessed to be settled according to existing sales- and purchase agreements, and with a discount factor that is based on a risk-adjusted discount rate. A change of 1 percent in terms of discount factor will only have a minor impact on fair value, while a changed assessment of potential future cash flow by 10 percent would impact fair value by approximately SEK 28 m.
During the period, there has not been any transfers between the levels in the hierarchy for valuation of fair value. There were no significant interrelationships between unobservable data that would impact the fair values in a material way.
For other financial assets and liabilities, the carrying amount is deemed to be a reasonable approximation of fair value. The Group holdings of unlisted shares, and where the fair value cannot be estimated reliably, are recognised at acquisition cost. The recognised carrying amount for these holdings are SEK 4 m (5).
Earnings before tax for the quarter amounted to SEK 221 m (272) and tax on profit was SEK 47 m (59). The effective tax rate amounted to 21 percent (22) and the average tax rate was 21 percent (21). The slightly lower effective tax rate compared to the corresponding tax rate in the same period previous year was mainly explained by a less unfavourable effect from non-taxable income/non-deductible costs. Lindab has taken the rules on global minimum level of tax under Pillar Two into account. The implication of the rules on the effective tax rate was minor.
Earnings before tax for the period January-June amounted to SEK 406 m (428) and tax on profit was SEK 87 m (98). The effective tax rate amounted to 21 percent (23) and the average tax rate was 21 percent (22). The lower effective tax rate compared to the corresponding tax rate in the same period previous year was mainly explained by a less unfavourable effect from non-taxable income/non-deductible costs. Lindab has taken the rules on global minimum level of tax under Pillar Two into account. The implication of the rules on the effective tax rate was minor.
Lindab's related parties and the extent of transactions with related parties are described in Note 33 in the Annual Report for 2024.
At the Annual General Meeting in May 2025, it was resolved to adopt a share option program for senior executives. As part of the program, 182,000 share options were subscribed by senior executives during the second quarter. For further details, see Share option program on page 9.
During the period, there have been no other transactions between Lindab and related parties which have had a significant impact on the company's position and profit.
The Board of Directors and the CEO hereby confirm that the interim report for Lindab International AB (publ) gives a true and fair picture of the company's and the Group's operations, financial position and results, and describes significant risks and uncertainties that the company and the companies in the Group are facing.

The company presents certain financial measures in the interim report which are not defined according to IFRS. The company considers these measures to provide valuable supplementary information for investors and the company's management as they enable the assessment of relevant trends. Lindab's definitions of these measures may differ from other companies' definitions of the same terms. These financial measures should therefore be seen as a supplement rather than as a replacement for measures defined according to IFRS. Definitions of measures which are not defined according to IFRS and which are not mentioned elsewhere in the interim report are presented below. Reconciliation of these measures is shown in the tables below. As the amounts in the tables below have been rounded off to SEK m, the calculations do not always add up due to round-off.
