Comment by the CEO

In the first quarter of 2025, Midsona's operating profit achieved SEK 37 million (38), before items affecting comparability. The result was mainly driven by a still stable gross margin, of 28.6 percent (29.0) before items affecting comparability, despite continued high raw material prices. The margin was affected by increased production costs in Germany and Spain due to a ramp-up to meet higher demand. At the same time, in March, we saw the positive effects of a better delivery capacity and therefore better sales – growth that is largely coming from investments in our own brands.

Nordics' operating profit, before items affecting comparability, amounted to SEK 48 million (56), which is lower than last year. This is largely due to the aggressive sales and marketing investments that we made to bolster the launch of Friggs in Denmark and Biopharma in Norway, which looks promising so far. This investment is important for future growth, but had a negative short-term impact on our results.

North Europe increased its operating profit, before items affecting comparability, to SEK 8 million (5), as a result of improved delivery capacity combined with increased production rates. New listings for the Davert brand and contract manufacturing volumes have also been taken on, which we will start delivering on towards the end of the second quarter.

For South Europe, the operating profit/loss, before items affecting comparability, amounted to SEK 0 million (–1). A series of efficiency improvements at the Spanish production facility contributed to the somewhat better operating profit/loss compared with last year. During the quarter, we significantly improved our listings for the Happy Bio brand with a major customer in France, which we expect to have a positive effect in the second quarter.

Interest expenses decreased, due to lower indebtedness and lower market interest rates. In other goods news, the Group's cash flow improved during the quarter, driven by the increasingly efficient management of our working capital.

Investments in our brands

The Group's net sales increased organically by 1.4 percent during the period and our own consumer brands grew by 1.6 percent. This means the following based on our three product categories. The consumer health products category was a strong contributor to organic growth. The health food category as a whole performed well, supported by promotional campaigns for a few selected brands, while the organic products category continued to face certain challenges in some geographical markets. All in all, I can say that the investments that we are now making in our brands are paying off and generating growth for us. The performance of licensed brands was weak, due to the termination of distribution agreements. Sales growth for contract manufacturing was strong, as the new business volumes rolled out more than compensated for the unprofitable assignments terminated.

Our strategy is continuing to drive us forward

As a Group, we need to continue to respond to the turbulent environment, a situation that is challenging much of the industry's strategies and opportunities to do more business. At the moment, large exchange rate fluctuations are strengthening the Swedish krona, but the overall impact on us is relatively neutral due to price increases for some of the key raw materials that we buy. Our strategy remains in place and we will continue to work according to plan and to reinforce our brands, our efficiency and our profitability. Our new Sourcing Director Josefin Kronstrand took up her post in March as part of this process. Josefin will lead our central purchasing function to ensure a more coordinated approach to purchasing.

When I hand over my post as President and CEO of Midsona to Henrik Hjalmarsson on 23 June, I will do so with great confidence that we are on the right track.

Peter Åsberg President and CEO

Financial information – Group

Net sales

Net sales amounted to SEK 937 million (929), a change of 0.9 percent (–4.6). The organic change in net sales amounted to 1.4 percent (–4.2), while structural changes contributed 0.0 percent (–0.5) and exchange rate fluctuations –0.5 percent (0.1). For the Group's own consumer brands, the organic change in net sales amounted to 1.6 percent (–4.3). In the consumer health products category, sales growth was strong, with large shipments of seasonal goods for the spring and summer months. The sales performance of the health food category was good overall, supported by large promotional campaigns for a few selected brands, while the organic products category continued to face certain challenges in some geographical markets. The organic change in net sales for licensed brands was –10.5 percent ( –9.5), entirely attributable to terminated distribution agreements. For contract manufacturing, the organic change in net sales amounted to 9.5 percent (0.5), as consumers continued to prioritise goods in the low-price segment. The overall sales trend was helped, to a degree, by the fact that Easter Week, which does not usually have a positive effect on sales, fell in April this year instead of in March like last year.

Gross profit

Gross profit amounted to SEK 268 million (269), corresponding to a margin of 28.6 percent (29.0). The negative trend in the margin was due to an unfavourable sales mix, with a higher share of sales of contract manufactured products, which generally have lower margins, temporary promotional discounts for some brands and occasional lower efficiency at a number of production facilities. Measures were taken affecting the production and logistics process at some production facilities, resulting in a temporary increase in production overheads, in order to address capacity shortages related to an underlying increase in demand for organic goods. Prices for most raw materials, other inputs and finished goods were broadly relatively stable, but still at high levels. However, the prices of some key raw materials rose and these price increases have not yet been passed on at the next level. There were also shortages as a result of a weaker production planning process, whereby some raw materials had to be procured outside contracted volumes at higher spot market prices to meet service level commitments to customers.

Operating profit/loss

Operating profit/loss amounted to SEK 24 million (38), corresponding to a margin of 2.6 percent (4.1), and operating profit/loss, before items affecting comparability, amounted to SEK 37 million (38), corresponding to a margin of 3.9 percent (4.1). The margin deteriorated essentially due to the lower gross margin and higher cost of sales in some geographical markets following major sequential marketing and sales boosting investments in own consumer brands.

Items affecting comparability

Operating profit/loss included items affecting comparability of SEK –13 million related to the announced change of President and CEO. No items affecting comparability were included in operating profit/ loss for the comparison period.

Product sales by type of brand1 Organic growth of types of brands1

Financial items

Net financial items amounted to SEK –10 million (–14). Interest expenses for external loans payable to credit institutions amounted to SEK –7 million (–11) and interest expenses attributable to leases came to SEK –2 million (–2). Interest expenses to credit institutions decreased, due to lower indebtedness and market interest rates. Net translation differences in respect of financial receivables and liabilities in foreign currency amounted to SEK 0 million (0). Other financial items came to SEK –1 million (–1).

Profit/loss for the period

Profit/loss for the period amounted to SEK 7 million (16), corresponding to earnings per share of SEK 0.05 (0.11) before and after dilution. Tax on profit for the period amounted to SEK –7 million (–8), of which SEK –6 million (–8) consisted of current tax, SEK 0 million (1) was tax attributable to previous years and SEK –1 million (–1) was deferred tax. The effective tax rate was 47.1 percent (33.9), and the high tax rate essentially related to the fact that new loss carryforwards in some subsidiaries were not capitalised as deferred tax assets. If the new loss carryforwards had been capitalised as deferred tax assets, the effective tax rate would have been 22.9 percent.

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 35 million (21) and was essentially a consequence of an improved cash flow from changes in working capital. Capital tied up in both inventories and operating receivables increased in the usual seasonal way and was partly offset by higher operating liabilities, but these were not at the same high levels as during the comparison period, when capital tied up in inventories was affected by new volumes for an expanded major distribution agreement. Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK –7 million (–3), consisting of investments in tangible and intangible assets of SEK –8 million (–3), divestments of tangible assets of SEK 1 million (–), and a change in financial assets of SEK 0 million (0). Cash flow from financing activities was SEK –34 million (–111), consisting of the repayment of loans for SEK –21 million (–97) and the repayment of lease liabilities for SEK –13 million (–14). A voluntary additional repayment of SEK 79 million was made within existing credit lines during the comparison period. Cash flow for the period amounted to SEK –6 million (–93).

Liquidity and financial position

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 139 million (139) and there were unused credit facilities of SEK 495 million (487) at the end of the period. The liquidity reserve as a proportion of net sales on a rolling 12-month basis was 17.0 percent (16.7). Net debt amounted to SEK 407 million (501) and stood at SEK 451 million at the end of the previous quarter. The ratio between net debt and adjusted EBITDA on a rolling 12-month basis was 1.5x (2.4), while it was 1.6x at the end of the previous quarter. Shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 2,985 million (3,049) and was SEK 3,068 million at the end of the previous quarter. The changes consisted of profit for the period of SEK 7 million and translation differences of SEK –90 million from the translation of foreign operations. The equity/assets ratio was 67.6 percent (65.6) at the end of the period.

Net sales

Net sales amounted to SEK 598 million (602), a decrease of 0.8 percent. The organic change in net sales amounted to –0.2 percent. For own consumer brands the organic change in external product sales was 3.6 percent, driven by sales growth in all three categories. In the consumer health products category, sales growth was strong, following large shipments of seasonal goods for the spring and summer months, while it was good overall for organic products. Health foods also saw good growth, supported by large temporary promotional campaigns for some brands. The organic growth for licensed brands was –13.6%, which was entirely attributable to the termination of distribution agreements. For contract manufacturing, organic growth was –4.7%, driven by the termination of low-margin contracts in the health food category.

Gross profit

Gross profit amounted to SEK 203 million (206), corresponding to a margin of 33.9 percent (34.2). The margin deteriorated, despite a fundamentally favourable sales mix, with a higher share of own consumer brands, which usually have higher margins. The lower margin was partly due to promotional discounts and bonuses for a few selected brands in the health food category, which resulted in temporary price reductions. The production facilities were also less efficient because of a certain fall in volumes. The prices of some key raw materials rose, which has not yet been offset by downstream outputs.

Operating profit/loss

Operating profit amounted to SEK 48 million (56), corresponding to a margin of 8.0 percent (9.2). The lower margin was essentially a consequence of the weaker gross margin trend, combined with increased selling expenses to drive sales for a few selected brands, and aggressive marketing investments to support product launches for Friggs in Denmark and Biopharma in Norway.

Friggs launched a new flavour of corn cakes, Dill & Chives, during the year.

Net sales

Net sales amounted to SEK 241 million (231), an increase of 4.5 percent, with an organic change in net sales of 4.8 percent. The organic change in external product sales for own consumer brands was –2.5 percent, due to both a weak sales performance for some product groups and capacity constraints in the production and logistics process. For own business-to-business brands, organic growth was –6.3 percent, as a consequence of contracts that ran with too low a margin not being extended. Organic growth for contract manufacturing was 16.6 percent, as a result of new and extended profitable contract manufacturing assignments. Contract manufacturing was also negatively affected to some extent by capacity constraints in the production and logistics process.

Gross profit

Gross profit amounted to SEK 44 million (43), corresponding to a margin of 18.3 percent (18.5). The margin deteriorated despite strong volume growth. This was because of an unfavourable sales mix, with a higher proportion of contract manufactured products, which usually have lower margins. There were also shortages due to a weak production planning process, whereby some raw materials had to be procured outside contracted volumes at higher spot market prices to meet service level commitments to customers. In addition, measures to address the capacity shortfalls in the production and logistics process resulted in higher production overheads and a temporary decrease in production facility efficiency. Delivery capacity was gradually improved in March to meet the increased demand for goods.

Operating profit/loss

Operating profit/loss amounted to SEK 8 million (5), corresponding to a margin of 3.3 percent (2.2). The margin trend was essentially driven by the volume growth. Lower selling expenses also contributed to some extent to the improved margin.

During the quarter, German brand Davert launched pearl couscous.

Net sales

Net sales amounted to SEK 107 million (109), a decrease of 1.7 percent, with an organic change in net sales of –1.3 percent. The organic change in external product sales for own consumer brands was –7.7 percent. The market for organic products in France was generally weak, leading to continued demand challenges for some own consumer brand product groups, particularly related to health food stores. The sales performance of own consumer brands in the Spanish organic products market was more stable. Contract manufacturing experienced organic growth of 9.7 percent, driven by the roll-out of new profitable business volumes. For licensed brands, organic growth was 26.8 percent, but sales volumes were still relatively low.

Gross profit

Gross profit amounted to SEK 22 million (21), corresponding to a margin of 20.2 percent (19.1). The improved margin was underpinned by production improvements, but was partially offset by an unfavourable product mix due to a higher proportion of sales of contract manufactured products, for which margins are generally lower. Initially, there were continued challenges in the production process at the Spanish production facility, which resulted in increased production overheads. The measures and improvements in the production process and in material utilisation that were undertaken had a good impact in March. Production facility efficiency gradually improved, but the utilisation rate remained low.

Operating profit/loss

Operating profit/loss amounted to SEK 0 million (–1), corresponding to a margin of –0.3 percent (–0.7). The improvement in the margin was essentially driven by the improved gross margin.

French brand Celnat launched a fruit muesli during the quarter.

Seasonal variations

Sales and earnings are affected by seasonal variations. Sales in the first and second quarter are affected by Easter Week, depending on which quarter it falls in. Easter Week does not benefit sales of the Group's product groups. Warm summer months normally entail lower sales for most product groups as consumers prioritise spending on other things. The second quarter of the year is usually the Group's weakest in terms of sales and profit. Sales are generally higher in the fourth quarter than in the first three quarters, which is mainly due to seasonally high deliveries of dried fruits and nuts prior to the holidays. This is changing though, due to the implementation of rationalisation measures for seasonal Christmas volumes to both improve profitability and reduce the complexity of the product portfolio.

Parent Company

Net sales amounted to SEK 18 million (16), and related primarily to the invoicing of services provided internally within the Group. Operating profit/loss amounted to SEK –23 million (–7), while profit/loss before tax amounted to SEK –68 million (–178). Profit/ loss before tax included an impairment of shares in subsidiaries of SEK –45 million (–173). Net financial items amounted to SEK 0 million (2) and consisted of interest income from subsidiaries of SEK 8 million (12), interest expenses to credit institutions of SEK –7 million (–11), translation differences on financial receivables and liabilities in foreign currency of SEK 0 million (0), translation differences on net investments in subsidiaries of SEK –2 million (0) and other financial items of SEK 1 million (1).

Cash and cash equivalents, including unutilised credit facilities, amounted to SEK 603 million (581). Borrowing from credit institutions was SEK 404 million (477) at the end of the period. During the comparison period, a voluntary additional repayment was made on liabilities to credit institutions within the existing credit line of SEK 79 million. Shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 2,274 million (2,401) and stood at SEK 2,342 million at the end of the previous quarter. The changes in shareholders' equity consisted of the loss for the period of SEK –68 million.

On the balance sheet date, there were 20 employees (16).

Risks and uncertainties

In its operations, the Group is subject to operational, market, financial and sustainability risks that may affect profits to a greater or lesser extent.

Inflation and short-term interest rates rose to some extent in the first quarter of 2025 in most European countries. In the short term, climate change and currency fluctuations may partly explain the rise in inflation, but it can also be seen as a sign that several actors in the complex supply chain, which controls prices, are preparing for increased protectionism. The U-turn on Ukraine by the

US has also redrawn both the security and economic map, causing widespread concern and instability in markets. The increased instability in the financial markets, where the rules of the game are sometimes unclear, and intensified geopolitical tensions, may both contribute to more persistent inflation than expected, resulting in rising prices. This is likely to mean that central banks will hold off on further interest rate cuts in the short term, which could give a further boost to consumers' personal finances and purchasing power. This risks delaying the recovery of the Swedish economy, and several other European economies, after more than three years of recession during which, among other things, consumers have changed their purchasing behaviour and opted more for low-price products and products under promotion as a consequence of a more difficult personal financial climate. This has brought demand-related challenges for some product groups included in the Group's own consumer brands, especially in the organic products category. In response to the change in consumer behaviour, hard work has been done to develop the customer offering and enhance the range and purchasing experience. Long-term societal trends clearly point, however, to a shift in consumption back towards more sustainable and healthy products, as consumers' purchasing power improves.

Volatile finished product, raw material, packaging material, energy, gas and transport prices and fluctuations in major currencies, such as the US dollar and the euro, are an ever present reality for the Group. Packaging material and road and container transport prices have stabilised, but remain at relatively high levels. Energy and gas prices for the Group's production facilities have started to rise to some extent over the past six months, after remaining stable since the beginning of 2023. Commodity prices are largely determined by the latest crop and harvest yields, which are still being significantly affected by weather events such as droughts, rainfall and flooding. The risk of crop and harvest failure is increasing, especially for organic produce, for which pesticides are not used against common pests. For key organic raw materials, a particular focus is put on having alternative suppliers to ensure planned purchase volumes. Although there is no clear picture of price developments, the overall trend for key raw materials and finished products consists of stable prices, but at continued high levels, or price increases. Exchange rate fluctuations were nevertheless favourable for the Group as a whole during the past quarter, as the Swedish krona and Norwegian krone appreciated against both the US dollar and the euro, in which most of the Group's input and finished goods are purchased.

Midsona imports a few raw materials from the US, and the EU's possible introduction of retaliatory tariffs on goods from the US could affect the Group negatively, were they to come into force, but to a limited extent. Midsona is closely monitoring the situation, and at the same time working to bring in alternative suppliers for these raw materials.

Beyond the above, we believe that no new significant risks or uncertainties have arisen since the submission of the 2024 Annual Report. For a detailed account of risks and uncertainties, please see the Risks and risk management section of the Administration Report on pages 123–129 and Note 28 Financial risk management on pages 155–157 of the 2024 Annual Report.

Significant events in January–March

Notes to the financial statements

Note 1 | Accounting principles

With regard to the Group, this interim report for January-March 2025 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Annual Accounts Act (ÅRL). In addition to being presented in the financial statements and their notes, disclosures in accordance with IAS 34, p. 16A are also presented in other parts of the interim report. The Parent Company's accounts are prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act (ÅRL) and recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities, from the Swedish Sustainability and Financial Reporting Board. The statements published by the Swedish Sustainability and Financial Reporting Board concerning listed companies are also applied, meaning that the Parent Company must apply all

Note 2 | Significant estimates and assumptions

Preparing the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make assumptions, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting principles and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual outcome may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

In the first quarter of 2025, estimates and assumptions were made as to whether new tax loss carryforwards in some geographical markets should be capitalised as deferred tax assets to be realised through offsetting against future taxable income. Given short-term earnings capacity forecasts and the levels of capitalised tax loss carryforwards from previous years, company

EU-approved IFRS and statements as far as possible within the framework of the Annual Accounts Act, the Pension Protection Act and taking the relationship between accounting and taxation into account.

In the interim report for January–March 2025, the same accounting principles and calculation methods were applied as in the last annual report issued for 2024 (Note 1 Accounting principles, pages 136–141). The new standards and the amendments and revisions to standards and new interpretations (IFRIC) that came into effect on 1 January 2025 had no significant impact on the Group's accounting for the period January–March 2025.

management has chosen to hold off on capitalising any new tax loss carryforwards.

Otherwise, no new significant estimates or assumptions have been made since the publication of the most recent annual report. For a detailed account of the assumptions made by management in the application of IFRS and that have a significant impact on the financial statements, as well as estimates made that could entail significant adjustments to subsequent financial statements, please refer to Note 32 Significant estimates and assumptions on pages 158–159 of the 2024 Annual Report.

Disclosures regarding financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss for the year

The Group held financial instruments in the form of forward exchange contracts recognised at fair value via the consolidated income statement. The valuation was at level 2, in accordance with IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement. Actual values were based on quotes from brokers. Similar contracts were traded on an active market, and the rates reflected actual trades of comparable instruments.

Offset agreements and similar agreements

For derivative counterparties, there are ISDA agreements, which mean that derivative items can be reported net under certain conditions. The Group had no derivatives reported net in its consolidated balance sheet.

Calculation of fair value

The fair value of interest bearing liabilities is calculated based on future cash flows of principal and interest discounted at the current market rate on the balance sheet date. Long-term interest-bearing liabilities essentially mature at variable interest rates and therefore correspond essentially to their fair value with a carrying amount. For current interest-bearing liabilities, no discount is applied, and their fair value essentially corresponds to the carrying amount. For further information on the valuation of financial assets and liabilities, refer to Note 30 Fair value measurement and categorisation of financial assets and liabilities on pages 157–158 of the 2024 Annual Report.

Warrant programmes

One warrant programme, reserved for senior executives, remained outstanding at the end of the period. This programme, TO2022/2025, may result in the granting of a maximum of 120,000 new Class B shares on full conversion, with an exercise period for the warrants running from 1 August 2025 to 20 December 2025.

Definitions

Midsona presents certain financial measures in the interim report that are not defined under IFRS. Midsona considers these measures to provide useful supplementary information to investors and the company's management as they facilitate the evaluation of the company's performance. Because not all companies calculate financial measures in the same way, these are not always comparable to the metrics used by other companies. Accordingly, these financial measures should not be considered a substitute for metrics defined under IFRS. For the definition and purpose of other measures that are not defined under IFRS, please see the Definitions section on pages 178–183 of the 2024 Annual Report.
