FREE TRANSLATION OF UNQUALIFIED STATUTORY AUDITOR'S REPORT ORIGINALLY PREPARED IN DUTCH - This document constitutes an unofficial English translation of the original Dutch document. The Dutch document shall govern in all respects, including interpretation matters

In the context of the statutory audit of the consolidated financial statements of Materialise NV ("the Company") and its subsidiaries (jointly "the Group"), we provide you with our statutory auditor's report. This includes our report on the consolidated financial statements and the other legal and regulatory requirements. Our report is one and indivisible.

We were appointed as statutory auditor by the general meeting of 6 June 2023, in accordance with the proposal of the board of directors issued on the recommendation of the audit committee. Our mandate will expire on the date of the general meeting deliberating on the annual accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025. We have performed the statutory audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for 6 consecutive financial years.

Report on the consolidated financial statements

Unqualified opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of the Group as of and for the year ended 31 December 2025, prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, as adopted by the European Union, and with the legal and regulatory requirements applicable in Belgium. These consolidated financial statements comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at 31 December 2025, the consolidated income statements and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and the consolidated cash flow statements for the year then ended and notes, comprising material accounting policies and other explanatory information. The total of the consolidated statement of financial position amounts to EUR ('000) 420.646 and the consolidated income statements show a profit for the year of EUR ('000) 7.716.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the Group's equity and financial position as at 31 December 2025 and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, as adopted by the European Union, and with the legal and regulatory requirements applicable in Belgium.

KPMG

Statutory auditor's report to the general meeting of Materialise NV on the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2025

Basis for our unqualified opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing ("ISAs") as adopted in Belgium. In addition, we have applied the ISAs as issued by the IAASB and applicable for the current accounting year while these have not been adopted in Belgium yet. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Statutory auditors' responsibility for the audit of the consolidated financial statements" section of our report. We have complied with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Belgium, including the independence requirements.

We have obtained from the board of directors and the Company's officials the explanations and information necessary for performing our audit.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matter

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Completeness of the identification of performance obligations in customer contracts for revenue recognition

We refer to note 3 and note 22.1 of the consolidated financial statements.

Description

The Group recognised a total revenue of EUR ('000) 267.633 for the financial year ended 31 December 2025. In accordance with IFRS 15, revenue recognition requires an assessment of customer contracts to determine whether they contain multiple distinct performance obligations, as this may affect both the timing and the amount of revenue recognised.

Revenue recognised during the year continues to include customer contracts that comprise multiple distinct performance obligations. In addition, for new contracts entered into during the year, IFRS 15 requires an assessment to determine whether multiple performance obligations are present.

This assessment involves a significant level of professional judgement, in particular due to the risk that certain contractual arrangements, contract modifications or additional agreements may not be fully identified. Such omissions could have a direct impact on the accurate recognition of revenue in accordance with IFRS 15. For these reasons, we considered the completeness of the identification of performance obligations in customer contracts for revenue recognition to be a key audit matter.

Our audit procedures

  • We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of relevant internal controls within the revenue process, including controls relating to the identification of customer contracts requiring assessment

under IFRS 15, as well as controls over the review and approval of revenue recognition conclusions for both new customer contracts and contract modifications;

  • For a representative selection of customers, we obtained external confirmations of ongoing and outstanding contractual arrangements between the Group and those customers, and analysed any identified differences to assess the completeness of the population of customer contracts identified by the Group;
  • For a representative sample of customer contracts, including contracts entered into prior to 1 January 2025 that continue to impact revenue recognised in 2025, we assessed whether the amount of revenue recognised and deferred revenue was consistent with the underlying contractual documentation, including customer contracts, addenda and relevant correspondence, and with the applicable requirements of IFRS 15.

Board of directors' responsibilities for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements

The board of directors is responsible for the preparation of these consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, as adopted by the European Union, and with the legal and regulatory requirements applicable in Belgium, and for such internal control as board of directors determines, is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the board of directors is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the board of directors either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Statutory auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of the users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

When performing our audit, we comply with the legal, regulatory and professional requirements applicable to audits of the consolidated financial statements in Belgium. The scope of the statutory audit of the consolidated financial statements does not extend to providing assurance on the future

viability of the Group nor on the efficiency or effectivity of how the board of directors has conducted or will conduct the business of the Group. Our responsibilities regarding the going concern basis of accounting applied by the board of directors are described below.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also perform the following procedures:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;
  • Obtain an understanding of internal controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control;
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by board of directors;
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of board of directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern;
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation;
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the board of directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the board of directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate

with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

For the matters communicated with the audit committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter.

Other legal and regulatory requirements

Responsibilities of the Board of directors

The board of directors is responsible for the preparation and the content of the board of directors' annual report on the consolidated financial statements including the sustainability information and the other information included in the annual report on the consolidated financial statements.

Statutory auditor's responsibilities

In the context of our engagement and in accordance with the Belgian additional standard which is complementary to the International Standards on Auditing as applicable in Belgium, our responsibility is to verify, in all material respects, the board of directors' annual report on the consolidated financial statements, and the other information included in the annual report, and to report on these matters.

Aspects concerning the board of directors' annual report on the consolidated financial statements and the other information included in the annual report on the consolidated financial statements

The annual report on the consolidated financial statements contains the consolidated sustainability information that is the subject of our separate report on the limited assurance with respect to this sustainability information. This section does not cover the assurance on the consolidated sustainability information included in the annual report on the consolidated financial statements. For this part of the annual report on the consolidated financial statements, we refer to our separate report on this matter.

Based on specific work performed on the board of directors' annual report on the consolidated financial statements, we are of the opinion that this annual report is consistent with the consolidated financial statements for the same period and has been prepared in accordance with article 3:32 of the Companies' and Associations' Code.

In the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements, we are also responsible for considering, in particular based on the knowledge gained throughout the audit, whether the board of directors' annual report on the consolidated financial statements and other information included in the annual report on the consolidated financial statement, being:

  • At a glance; and
  • Investor and Shareholder information

contain material misstatements, or information that is incorrectly stated or misleading. In the context of the procedures carried out, we did not identify any material misstatements that we have to report to you.

Information about the independence

  • Our audit firm and our network have not performed any engagement which is incompatible with the statutory audit of the consolidated accounts and our audit firm remained independent of the Group during the term of our mandate.
  • The fees for the additional engagements which are compatible with the statutory audit referred to in article 3:65 of the Companies' and Associations' Code were correctly stated and disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

European Single Electronic Format (ESEF)

In accordance with the standard on the audit of compliance of the annual report with the European Single Electronic Format (hereafter "ESEF"), we have also audited whether the ESEF-format is in accordance with the regulatory technical standards as laid down in the EU Delegated Regulation nr. 2019/815 of 17 December 2018 (hereafter "Delegated Regulation") and the Royal Decree of 14 November 2007 on the obligations of issuers of financial instruments admitted to trading on a regulated market (hereafter the "Royal Decree of 14 November 2007").

The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of an annual report, in accordance with the ESEF requirements, including the consolidated financial statements in the form of an electronic file in ESEF format (hereafter "digital consolidated financial statements").

It is our responsibility to obtain sufficient and appropriate information to conclude whether the format of the annual report and the XBRL tagging of the digital consolidated financial statements comply, in all material respects, with the ESEF requirements under the Delegated Regulation and the Royal Decree of 14 November 2007.

In our opinion, based on our work performed, the digital format of the annual report and the tagging of information in the official Dutch version of the consolidated financial statements as per 31 December 2025, included in the annual report of Materialise NV and which will be available in the Belgian official mechanism for the storage of regulated information (STORI) of the FSMA, are, in all material respects, in compliance with the ESEF requirements under the Delegated Regulation and the Royal Decree of 14 November 2007.
