Profitable organic growth and strong cash flow

Midsona's fourth quarter of 2025 was characterised by improved profitability and some organic growth for the Group, with our own consumer brands as a driving factor. This shows that the initiatives that we have taken in both marketing and product innovation are producing results. At the same time, we strengthened our profitability through ongoing measures aimed at achieving greater cost efficiency. During the quarter we saw a continued recovery in the organic market, which also contributed to organic growth.

Fourth-quarter operating profit amounted to SEK 47 million (36), before items affecting comparability, which was a clear improvement compared with the fourth quarter of last year. The operating margin improved and amounted to 5.0 percent (3.7), before items affecting comparability. This improvement was achieved by actively working on our cost efficiency and successfully promoting sales of own consumer brands. As part of this process, we succeeded in simplifying and focusing our range within selected brands to increase our relevance and impact in the market.

Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 933 million (961), and were negatively affected by currency effects, as well as the continued impact of the previous fire at our production facility in Castellcir, Spain. Our ongoing growth initiatives are having an impact on organic sales growth, which was positive for the Group as a whole, at 0.7 percent, and for our own consumer brands, at 5.9 percent.

Cash flow from operating activities developed positively during the quarter and increased to SEK 141 million (98), reducing the net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio to 1.1x (1.6) at the end of the quarter.

The Nordics are leading the way, while South Europe is adjusting

For the Nordics, the organic increase in net sales amounted to 0.7 percent during the fourth quarter. This development is attributable to good organic growth for our own brands, with an organic range that performed well, driven by our targeted marketing efforts. In the second and third quarters, the transition from direct to centralised distribution for one of our health food brands had a negative impact on sales in the Nordics. Now that this change is behind us, we are seeing positive results, in terms of both organic growth and better cost efficiency, and therefore increased profitability. The work on strengthening the cost efficiency continued successfully during the quarter, and this led to an overall operating profit, before items afffecting comparability, of SEK 60 million (52) for the Nordics.

For North Europe, the organic increase in net sales amounted to 0.1 percent during the quarter. Continued organic growth for our own consumer brands and contract manufacturing offset the weaker sales performance for own B2B brands, for which a continued focused optimisation of the product range led to lower net sales, but strengthened profitability. Operating profit/loss, before items affecting comparability, amounted to SEK 9 million (13). The lower profit is mainly due to the timing effect of customer rebates and bonuses linked to promotions, as well as a slightly more negative product mix in contract manufacturing.

South Europe continued to recover from the previous fire at the production facility in Spain. Despite the negative impact of the fire, we saw growth in our own consumer brands in the region, as well as very good growth in the grocery trade in France, which contributed to the recovery. We also saw improved production efficiency, which supported the recovery of South Europe's performance, contributing positively to the Group's results. The organic change in net sales amounted to –3.1 percent, and operating profit/loss, before items affecting comparability, amounted to SEK 0 million (–7) during the quarter.

Clearer priorities to accelerate profitable growth

We are seeing continued tendencies of a more stable situation for the households after a tougher period, but at the same time there are uncertainties in the world around us that could once again change the course of consumers' consumption patterns and their willingness to buy.

In the fourth quarter we continued to improve our profitability, but we are still some way from achieving our financial targets. One measure to attain the target was the restructuring programme that we launched in connection with the third-quarter report, whose purpose is to accelerate margin improvement and strengthen our competitiveness. The programme is on track to be fully implemented in the first quarter of 2026, with annual cost savings of around SEK 20 million. The programme is part of a broader review, which also includes the existing production and logistics structure.

The organic growth of our own consumer brands during the quarter is the result of a number of measures ranging from efficient marketing to an improved assortment. We are pleased with the improvement compared with last year, but our ambitions are higher. We are therefore now working on further clarifying our priorities and actions for continued profitable growth. Given our robust balance sheet, our strong positions in our home markets and the improved performance of our consumer brands, we are therefore positive about the long-term opportunities for both organic and structural profitable growth.

Financial information - Group

October-December

Net sales

Net sales amounted to SEK 933 million (961), a change of -2.9 percent (-4.1). The organic growth in net sales amounted to 0.7 percent (-3.4), while structural changes contributed 0.0 percent (-0.7) and exchange rate fluctuations -3.6 percent (0.0). The overall sales trend was favourable, especially bearing in mind the loss of sales caused by the fire at the Spanish production facility for both contract manufacturing and own consumer brands in the organic products category. For the Group's own consumer brands, the organic growth in net sales amounted to 5.9 percent (-6.2), with continued strong sales growth for the organic products category in most geographical markets, as a result of previously implemented marketing investments and improvements to product ranges. The sales performance of the consumer health products category was stable, and was good overall for the health food category, as sales volumes started to pick up for a brand whose business model has changed, from direct to centralised distribution; a change that has brought lower costs. The organic change in net sales for licensed brands amounted to -15.3 percent (7.3), attributable to both the termination of a distribution agreement and a weak sales performance for some brands. For contract manufacturing, the organic change in net sales amounted to -0.8 percent (3.7), as both the roll-out of newly won contract manufacturing volumes and the expanding of several existing contract manufacturing assignments were not able to fully offset the contract manufacturing volumes terminated as a result of the fire at the Spanish production facility.

Gross profit

Gross profit amounted to SEK 266 million (278), corresponding to a margin of 28.5 percent (28.9), and gross profit, before items affecting comparability, amounted to SEK 267 million (278), corresponding to a margin of 28.6 percent (28.9). The negative change in the margin was essentially because of the timing of promotional discounts for some own consumer brands, and an unfavourable product mix in contract manufacturing in some geographical markets. Prices for raw materials, other inputs and finished goods were relatively stable, but still at high levels. Production and inventory overheads were lower, partly due to the fire at the Spanish production facility. Both the efficiency of most of the Group's production facilities and the level of customer service improved.

Operating profit/loss

Operating profit/loss amounted to SEK 41 million (36), corresponding to a margin of 4.4 percent (3.7), and operating profit/loss, before items affecting comparability, amounted to SEK 47 million (36), corresponding to a margin of 5.0 percent (3.7). The margin increased as a result of good overall cost control and a lower cost base for the sales and administration organisation, as a conse-

quence of efficiency improvements, as well as to some extent synergies realised from restructuring programmes implemented.

Items affecting comparability

Operating profit/loss included items affecting comparability of SEK –6 million, which were attributable to both restructuring expenses of SEK –5 million in Nordics, as part of measures to accelerate the improvement of the operating margin while at the same time strengthening the Group's competitiveness, and other fire-related additional costs of SEK –1 million connected to the fire-damaged production facility in South Europe. No items affecting comparability were included in operating profit/loss for the comparison period.

Financial items

Net financial items amounted to SEK –8 million (–12). Interest expenses for external loans payable to credit institutions amounted to SEK –5 million (–8) and interest expenses attributable to leases amounted to SEK –2 million (–2). Interest expenses to credit institutions decreased, due to lower market interest rates and more competitive terms for the new financing. Net translation differences in respect of financial receivables and liabilities in foreign currency amounted to SEK –1 million (o). Other financial items amounted to SEK o million (–2).

Profit/loss for the period

Profit/loss for the period amounted to SEK 33 million (19), corresponding to earnings per share of SEK 0.23 (0.13) before and after dilution. Tax on profit/loss for the period amounted to SEK 0 million (–5), of which SEK –7 million (1) consisted of current tax, SEK 0 million (0) of tax attributable to previous years and SEK 7 million (–6) of deferred tax.

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 141 million (98) and was entirely attributable to an improved cash flow from changes in working capital. Good inventory management practices and optimised stock levels strongly contributed to the reduction of the capital tied up in inventories. In addition, the capital tied up in operating receivables decreased as a consequence of both lower November and December invoicing, and a lower proportion of overdue trade receivables compared with the previous year, despite increased advances to suppliers. This was partly offset by an increase in operating liabilities, however. Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK 3 million (-12), consisting of investments in tangible and intangible assets of SEK -8 million (-11), divestments of tangible assets of SEK 10 million (0), and a change in financial assets of SEK 1 million (-1). Cash flow from financing activities was SEK –16 million (–30), consisting of loan repayments amounting to SEK -2 million (-17) and lease liability repayments amounting to SEK -14 million (-13). Cash flow for the period amounted to SEK 128 million (56).

{3}------------------------------------------------

January–December

Net sales

Net sales amounted to SEK 3 630 million (3 727), a change of –2.6 percent (–1.7). The organic change in net sales was –0.1 percent (–0.7), while structural changes contributed 0.0 percent (–0.5) and exchange rate fluctuations –2.5 percent (–0.5). For the Group's own consumer brands, the organic growth in net sales was 1.4 percent (–3.1), despite some sales foregone in the organic products category due to the fire at the Spanish production facility. Overall, the sales performance was good for the organic products category, being driven by strong growth in some geographical markets, whereas it was relatively stable for the consumer health products category. The health food category faced some challenges at times, including as a result of a change in the business model, from direct to centralised distribution, for one brand, resulting in temporarily lower sales volumes during the implementation process. The organic change in net sales for licensed brands was –16.3 percent (8.7), which was essentially attributable to the termination of distribution agreements. For contract manufacturing, the organic growth in net sales was 8.8 percent (5.0), despite a larger loss of sales due to the termination of contract manufacturing assignments related to the fire at the Spanish production facility. The strong sales performance for contract manufacturing was the result of both new and expanded business volumes in some geographical markets.

Gross profit

Gross profit amounted to SEK 983 million (1 069), corresponding to a margin of 27.1 percent (28.7), and gross profit, before items affecting comparability, amounted to SEK 1 035 million (1 069), corresponding to a margin of 28.5 percent (28.7). The lower margin was mainly related to the fact that the sales mix was unfavourable for much of the year, with a higher share of sales of contract manufactured products, which usually have lower margins, and increased promotional discounts for some own consumer brands, leading to price reductions. Prices for most raw materials, other inputs and finished goods were relatively stable, but at high levels. The prices of some key raw materials rose, however, due to poor harvests, and these price increases have not yet been fully passed on to the next level. In order to address capacity shortages related to an increased demand for organic products, measures were taken aimed at the production and logistics process, especially during the first two quarters of the year, which resulted in a temporary increase in production overheads. Shortages also sometimes occurred, meaning that raw materials had to be procured outside contracted volumes at higher spot market prices to fulfil service level commitments to customers. Both the customer service level and efficiency of most of the Group's production facilities gradually improved during the year. The Spanish production facility's efficiency decreased significantly in the third and fourth quarters, however, because of the fire.

Operating profit/loss

Operating profit/loss amounted to SEK 58 million (128), corresponding to a margin of 1.6 percent (3.4), and operating profit/loss, before items affecting comparability, amounted to SEK 133 million (128), corresponding to a margin of 3.7 percent (3.4). The improved margin was essentially related to good overall cost control and cost awareness, while both efficiency improvements implemented in the sales and administration organisation and synergies realised from restructuring programmes carried out in previous years had an impact on operating profit/loss. Operating profit/loss was also sometimes affected, however, by certain temporary additional administrative costs, while selling expenses were high in the first quarter 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 –75 million, of which SEK –19 million related to the change of President and CEO, restructuring expenses of SEK –10 million to improve

efficiency and to lower the cost base in the Nordics, restructuring expenses for changes to the management in North Europe of SEK –1 million and SEK –45 million related to the fire-damaged production facility in South Europe, of which SEK –49 million of asset impairment losses, other additional costs related to the fire of SEK –3 million and an initial insurance compensation payment of SEK 7 million. No items affecting comparability were included in operating profit/loss for the comparison period.

Financial items

Net financial items amounted to SEK –34 million (–53). Interest expenses for external loans payable to credit institutions amounted to SEK –24 million (–38) and interest expenses attributable to leases amounted to SEK –6 million (–7). Interest expenses to credit institutions decreased, due to lower market interest rates and more competitive terms for the new financing. Net translation differences in respect of financial receivables and liabilities in foreign currency amounted to SEK 0 million (0). Other financial items amounted to SEK –4 million (–8).

Profit/loss for the period

Profit/loss for the period amounted to SEK 10 million (47), corresponding to earnings per share of SEK 0.07 (0.33) before and after dilution. Tax on profit/loss for the period amounted to SEK –14 million (–28), of which SEK –18 million (–19) of current tax, SEK 0 million (0) of tax attributable to previous years and SEK 4 million (–9) of deferred tax. The effective tax rate was 60.1 percent (37.0) and was essentially a consequence of new loss carryforwards in some subsidiaries not being capitalised as deferred tax assets, and also loss carryforwards from previous years being both capitalised as deferred tax assets and utilised against taxable income in some subsidiaries.

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 229 million (142), and the increase was entirely attributable to an improved change in working capital, particularly related to less capital being tied up in inventories, partly as a result of good inventory management practices and optimised stock levels. Operating liabilities also decreased due to lower purchases of goods against inventory, which was partly offset by more capital being tied up in operating receivables because of increased advances to suppliers. Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK –22 million (–25), consisting of investments in tangible and intangible assets of SEK –34 million (–24), divestments of tangible assets of SEK 11 million (0), and a change in financial assets of SEK 1 million (–1). Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK –29 million (–206), consisting of loans raised of SEK 487 million, loan repayments of SEK –433 million (–150) mostly related to refinancing (see the New financing agreement section on page 9), repayments of lease liabilities of SEK –54 million (–56) and dividends of SEK –29 million. A voluntary additional repayment of SEK –79 million was made in connection with existing credit lines during the comparison period. Cash flow for the period amounted to SEK 178 million (–89).

Liquidity and financial position

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 316 million (141) and there were unused credit facilities of SEK 465 million (487) at the end of the year. The liquidity reserve as a proportion of net sales on a rolling 12-month basis was 21.5 percent (16.9). Net debt amounted to SEK 299 million (451) and stood at SEK 433 million at the end of the previous quarter. The net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio on a rolling 12-month basis was 1.1x (1.6), while it was 1.6x at the end of the previous quarter. Shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 2,933 million (3,068) and was SEK 2,946 million at the end of the previous quarter. The changes consisted of profit for the period of SEK 33 million and translation differences of SEK –46 million from the translation of foreign operations. The equity/assets ratio was 66.8 percent (67.6) at the end of the year.

October-December

Net sales

Net sales amounted to SEK 618 million (632), a decrease of 2.3 percent. The organic growth in net sales amounted to 0.7 percent. For own consumer brands included in external product sales organic growth was 6.2 percent. Most consumer brands in the organic products category continued to record strong sales growth due to the positive impact of marketing investments and improvements to product ranges. The sales performance of the health food category was good overall, as, among other things, sales volumes started to pick up for a brand whose business model has changed. from direct to centralised distribution; a change that has brought lower costs. The sales performance of the consumer health products category was relatively stable, despite slightly lower sales of cold- and flu-related products in some geographical markets. The organic change for licensed brands was -18.9 percent, as a consequence of the termination of a distribution assignment, and to some extent lower sales of cold- and flu-related products in some geographical markets. For contract manufacturing, the organic change was -1.1 percent, as new, more profitable contracts did not fully compensate for the termination of low-margin contracts.

Gross profit

Gross profit amounted to SEK 202 million (209), corresponding to a margin of 32.7 percent (33.1). The lower margin was essentially related to increased promotional discounts for some own consumer brands, resulting in price reductions, and temporarily higher production costs due to a layout change for one consumer brand. Prices for raw materials, other inputs and finished goods were relatively stable, but still at high levels. Both efficiency at production facilities and customer delivery capacity were at good levels.

Operating profit/loss

Operating profit/loss amounted to SEK 60 million (52), corresponding to a margin of 9.8 percent (8.2). The margin improvement was the result of good cost control, together with lower selling and administrative expenses, as a consequence of efficiency improvements, and synergies realised from restructuring programmes implemented.

January-December

Net sales

Net sales amounted to SEK 2,324 million (2,435), a decrease of 4.5 percent. The organic change in net sales amounted to -2.4 percent. For own consumer brands included in external product sales organic growth was 1.4 percent, driven by a good sales performance for the organic products category, as most brands gradually recorded strong sales growth after marketing investments produced results. For consumer health products, the sales performance was good overall, but with seasonal fluctuations between quarters. The sales performance for the health food category was weak at times, partly due to a change in distribution model, from direct to centralised distribution, for one brand, which temporarily slowed sales volumes during the implementation process. The organic change for licensed brands was -20.1 percent, which was essentially attributable to the termination of distribution assignments. For contract manufacturing, the organic change was -1.5 percent, as new contract manufacturing volumes in the organic products category could not fully compensate for the termination of low-margin contracts in the health food category

Gross profit

Gross profit amounted to SEK 786 million (828), corresponding to a margin of 33.8 percent (34.0). The lower margin was partly due to promotional discounts and bonuses for a few selected consumer brands, which resulted in price reductions. The prices for some key raw materials also significantly increased during the year as a result of poor harvests, which to some extent was not passed on to the next level. Towards the end of the year, however, the prices of these key raw materials stabilised, and prices fell slightly in some cases, as the 2025 harvests generally turned out better than in 2024. Efficiency at the health food production facility was weak due to a fall in volumes. Customer delivery capacity gradually improved during the year.

Operating profit/loss

Operating profit/loss amounted to SEK 198 million (211), corresponding to a margin of 8.5 percent (8.7). The decrease in the margin was essentially a consequence of the fall in the gross margin, combined with the fact that selling and administrative expenses were not aligned with lower sales volumes during the first two quarters of the year. Selling expenses were also particularly high during the first quarter, in order to drive sales for a few selected brands and to support product launches in a few geographical markets.

Net sales

Net sales amounted to SEK 226 million (237), a decrease of 4.6 percent, with organic growth in net sales of 0.1 percent. The organic growth for own consumer brands included in external product sales was 3.3 percent, and was supported by a significantly improved level of customer service from the production facilities. For own business-to-business brands, the organic change was –13.2 percent, due to the transition to a more profitable business model. Organic growth for contract manufacturing was 5.0 percent, as a result of the roll-out of new and increased contract manufacturing volumes.

Gross profit

Gross profit amounted to SEK 43 million (52), corresponding to a margin of 18.8 percent (21.8). The margin deteriorated essentially due to both the timing of promotional discounts and bonuses for one consumer brand, which resulted in temporary price reductions, and an unfavourable product mix in contract manufacturing. This was partly offset by an increase in efficiency at the production facilities after capacity constraints in the production and logistics process had been addressed.

Operating profit/loss

Operating profit/loss amounted to SEK 9 million (13), corresponding to a margin of 4.0 percent (5.6). The lower margin was a result of the weaker gross margin trend, which was offset, to a degree, by good control of selling and administrative expenses.

January-December

Net sales

Net sales amounted to SEK 934 million (910), an increase of 2.5 percent, with organic growth in net sales of 5.9 percent. The organic growth in external product sales for own consumer brands was 2.7 percent, following good sales growth supported by a gradual improvement in the capacity to deliver to customers from the production facilities. For own business-to-business brands, the organic change was –13.8 percent, essentially due to contracts that ran with too low a margin not being extended as part of a process of transition to a more profitable business model. Organic growth was 19.2 percent for contract manufacturing, as a result of new and expanded profitable contract manufacturing were negatively affected by capacity constraints in the production and logistics process, particularly in the first quarter of the year.

Gross profit

Gross profit amounted to SEK 171 million (172), corresponding to a margin of 18.3 percent (18.9). The margin deteriorated as a consequence of an unfavourable product mix, with a higher share of contract manufactured products, which usually have lower margins. Measures to address the capacity constraints in the production and logistics process also sometimes resulted in higher production overheads. There were also shortages, especially during the first two quarters of the year, as a result of which some raw materials had to be procured outside contracted volumes at higher spot market prices to meet service level commitments to customers. Both the efficiency of the production facilities and delivery capacity gradually improved during the year, and in the third quarter organic products were produced at the production facilities in line with the increased demand

Operating profit/loss

Operating profit/loss amounted to SEK 30 million (21), corresponding to a margin of 3.2 percent (2.3). The margin improvement was essentially the result of good cost control, together with lower selling and administrative expenses, as a consequence of efficiency improvements, and synergies realised from restructuring programmes implemented.

Net sales

Net sales amounted to SEK 94 million (102), a decrease of 7.7 percent, with an organic change in net sales of -3.1 percent. The sales performance in the French market developed positively, while the fire at the Spanish production facility resulted in a major loss of sales for both own consumer brands and contract manufacturing in the Spanish market. The organic growth for own consumer brands included in external product sales was 6.4 percent, with a strong sales performance in the French grocery trade as a result of new listings, which more than compensated for the continued weak performance in health food stores. Sales growth for own consumer brands was weak in the Spanish market, entirely due to the fire at the production facility. For licensed brands, organic growth was 26.2 percent, but sales volumes were still relatively low. The organic change for contract manufacturing was -23.2 percent, entirely due to the termination of contract manufacturing assignments as a consequence of the fire at the Spanish production facility.

Gross profit

Gross profit amounted to SEK 23 million (17), corresponding to a margin of 24.0 percent (16.3). The margin improvement was driven by a favourable product mix and improved efficiency at both the French production facility and the remaining Spanish production facility. Production and inventory overheads were significantly lower due to the fire at the Spanish production facility.

Operating profit/loss

Operating profit/loss amounted to SEK o million (-7), corresponding to a margin of 0.4 percent (-6.5). The margin improvement was essentially driven by the improved gross margin, together with lower selling and administrative expenses, as a consequence of efficiency improvements.

January-December

Net sales

Net sales amounted to SEK 402 million (422), a decrease of 4.8 percent, with an organic change in net sales of -1.6 percent. The organic growth for own consumer brands included in external product sales was 0.1 percent. The French organic products market was weak during the first half of the year, leading to demand-related challenges for some product groups, particularly related to health food stores. Sales to the French grocery trade started to pick up in the second half of the year, however, partly as a result of newly rolled out business volumes with a large grocery chain. In the Spanish organic products market, the sales performance was stable until the fire at the production facility, which, as a consequence, led to lower sales volumes for own consumer brands. For licensed brands, organic growth was 24.9 percent, but sales volumes were still relatively low. The organic change for contract manufacturing was -8.5 percent, which was entirely attributable to the termination of contract manufacturing assignments due to the reduced production capacity caused by the fire at the Spanish production facility.

Gross profit

Gross profit amounted to SEK 78 million (73), corresponding to a margin of 19.5 percent (17.3). The margin improvement was essentially attributable to measures implemented and improvements in the production process and material use. In addition, a favourable product mix in the second half of the year compensated for the significantly lower efficiency of the Spanish production facility. Efficiency gradually improved during the second half of the year at the French production facility, and to some extent at the remaining Spanish production facility.

Operating profit/loss

Operating profit/loss amounted to SEK –7 million (–18), corresponding to a margin of –1.6 percent (–4.2). The margin improvement was essentially driven by both the improved gross margin and lower selling and administrative expenses, following efficiency improvements.

Other information

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 occurs 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 for the Christmas 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 73 million (70), and related primarily to the invoicing of services provided internally within the Group. Operating profit/loss amounted to SEK –51 million (–24), while profit/loss before tax amounted to SEK –134 million (–236). Operating profit/loss included items affecting comparability of SEK –19 million related to the change of President and CEO. Profit/loss before tax included an impairment of shares in subsidiaries of SEK –194 million (–236), an expected dividend of SEK 75 million, allocations in the form of Group contributions received of SEK 43 million (16) and changes in excess depreciation of SEK 6 million (6). Net financial items amounted to SEK –13 million (2) and consisted of interest income from subsidiaries of SEK 20 million (42), interest expenses to credit institutions of SEK –24 million (–38), translation differences in respect of financial receivables and liabilities in foreign currency of SEK –3 million (–1), translation differences in respect of net investments in subsidiaries of SEK –10 million (–3) and other financial items of SEK 4 million (2).

Cash and cash equivalents, including unutilised credit facilities, amounted to SEK 731 million (588). Borrowing from credit institutions was SEK 482 million (431) at year-end after refinancing in the course of the year (see the New financing agreement section on page 9). During the comparison period, a voluntary additional repayment of liabilities to credit institutions of SEK –79 million was made in connection with existing credit lines. Shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 2,179 million (2,342). The changes in shareholders' equity consisted of the loss for the period of SEK –134 million and dividends of SEK –29 million.

On the balance sheet date, there were 21 employees (19).

Related parties

There were no significant related-party transactions during the period January–December. Also see Note 31 Related parties on page 158 of the 2024 Annual Report for a description of the Group's and the Parent Company's related-party transactions.

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.

Geopolitical conflicts, the unpredictability of US trade and foreign policy, with threats and intimidation, and weak public finances in several countries, continued to inform the risk environment and global economic uncertainty, leading to turmoil and instability in the financial markets. In the short term, this is holding back global economic growth, although the financial markets have recently fluctuated less wildly, and the EU and the US concluded a new trade deal at the end of July 2025. The deal resulted in greater trade stability,

although it is still just a framework agreement and is far from being a full free trade deal. The future outlook therefore remains very uncertain and is expected to delay 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 sometimes 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 to a shift in consumption back towards more sustainable and healthy products, as consumers' purchasing power improves.

Volatile finished goods, 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 transport prices have stabilised, but remain at relatively high levels. The increased geopolitical tensions in the Middle East may drive up the price of container transport from Asia and lead to delays in this kind of transport. Midsona's exposure to such container transport is moderate, however. Energy and gas prices for the Group's production facilities have started to rise to some extent over the past year, after remaining stable since the beginning of 2023. The conflict in the Middle East has strongly contributed to increased uncertainty about developments in energy prices. Raw material 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. 2005 saw relatively large price increases for several key raw materials due to poor harvests, fuelled by the negative impact of climate change on crop yields. Towards the end of the year, however, the prices of these key raw materials stabilised, and prices fell slightly in some cases, as the 2025 harvests generally turned out better than in 2024, which also guarantees more stable prices for these raw materials during the first half of 2026. There is no clear picture of price developments, however, but the overall trend for key raw materials and finished goods consists of stable prices, but at continued high levels. All in all, exchange rate fluctuations were nevertheless favourable for the Group as a whole in 2025, especially as the Swedish krona appreciated against both the US dollar and the euro, in which most of the Group's input and finished goods are purchased, and the euro appreciated against the US dollar.

Midsona imports a few raw materials from the US. Any new tariff announcements by the US administration could lead to the imposition of retaliatory tariffs by the EU on US goods, which in such a scenario could have a negative impact on the Group, but to a limited extent. Midsona closely monitors US trade policy and at the same time has alternative suppliers for these raw materials if necessary.

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 January–December

Prestigious award

Midsona has once again been recognised for its climate strategy and leadership by the global not-for-profit environmental initiative CDP. For the second year in a row, Midsona has been awarded the top grade A in the 2024 CDP climate change ranking. The CDP's annual process is considered a leader in corporate environmental transparency reporting as it measures actions and achievements aimed at mitigating climate-related risks and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Changes to Group Management

Josefin Kronstrand has been appointed Purchasing Director, with overall responsibility for coordinating the Group's purchases. She took up her new post on 15 March 2025 and has been a member of Group Management since this date.

Peter Åsberg left his position as President & CEO of Midsona in June 2025.

Midsona AB's Board of Directors appointed Henrik Hjalmarsson its new President and CEO. He formally took up the position of President & CEO of Midsona on 23 June 2025, after working alongside former President and CEO Peter Åsberg during a transition period from 1 June 2025.

Chief Marketing Officer, Anna Törnebrant, decided to leave Midsona. She left her position and her role in Group Management on 31 December 2025 and the position will not be filled due to a reorganisation.

CFO, Max Bokander, has decided to leave Midsona. He will leave his position and his role in Group Management in March 2026.

New financing agreement

In June 2025, Midsona AB signed a new long-term financing agreement with Nordea Bank with competitive terms, including a global cash management solution. The financing agreement is for a credit line of SEK 950 million and runs for three years, with the possibility of a further two-year extension until June 2030. The financial covenants linked to the financing agreement, which must be met during the term of the agreement, were equivalent to the previous agreement.

Fire at a production facility

Midsona suffered a fire at its plant-based protein alternatives production facility in Castellcir, Spain. The rapid response of the staff on site and the local fire brigade limited the fire to one part of the production facility, but this part was badly damaged and will not be operational for some time. This part of the production facility produces goods with a sales value of approximately SEK 75 million on an annual basis. No one was injured by the fire. The business is covered by property damage and business interruption insurance.

Impairment losses on tangible assets and inventories totalling SEK 49 million were recognised in the third quarter as a result of the fire. Active work is being done with the insurance company to ensure compensation in accordance with the applicable terms. An insurance compensation payment of SEK 7 million was initially made in August by the insurance company under its property

insurance cover. Several insurance compensation payments should be received and these will be recognised as and when the criteria for claims against the insurance company are met.

Restructuring programme

Midsona AB's Board of Directors decided to implement a restructuring programme during the fourth quarter of 2025, as part of measures to accelerate the improvement of the operating margin while strengthening the Group's competitiveness. The programme will reduce the cost base by approximately SEK 20 million annually when it is in full effect, from the second quarter of 2026. The measures in the programme did not include the ongoing cost adjustments related to the Spanish operations, which are being affected by the reduced production capacity following the fire at the production facility.

Significant events after the end of the reporting period

Changes to Group Management

Niclas Lundin was appointed the new CFO of Midsona. He will take up his new position on 1 March 2026 and will be a member of Group Management from that date.

Review by auditor

This year-end report was subject to review by the company's auditors.

{9}------------------------------------------------

Report of Review of Interim Financial Information

Introduction

We have reviewed the year-end report (interim report) of Midsona AB (publ) for the period 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025. The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion regarding the interim report based on our review.

Scope and focus of the review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is considerably smaller in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally accepted auditing standards. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Consequently, the conclusion based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion based on an audit.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, for the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, for the Parent Company.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 1 | Accounting principles

With regard to the Group, this year-end report 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 year-end 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 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 year-end report, 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–December 2025.

Note 2 | Significant estimates and assumptions

Preparing the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make 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.

During 2025, estimates and assumptions were made on several occasions 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, management chose to hold off on capitalising any new tax loss carryforwards during the first three quarters of the year. During the fourth quarter, management decided to capitalise previous tax loss carryforwards in some markets corresponding to the level used against the taxable income for 2025.

During the third quarter, management assessed whether there were indicators that intangible assets belonging to the cash-generating unit South Europe were impaired, as a consequence of a change in market conditions following a

fire at a production facility. Management judged that there were no such indicators, due, among other things, to the significant writedowns of the carrying amounts of tangible assets and inventories in the third quarter of 2025.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, new estimates and assumptions were made regarding future conditions and parameters affecting the future profitability of those cash-generating units within the Group to which goodwill and brands with indefinite useful lives are allocated. For the cash-generating unit Nordics and North Europe, in management's opinion, no reasonable changes to the key assumptions would lead to the estimated recoverable amount being lower than the carrying amount. For the cash-generating unit South Europe, management's sensitivity analysis indicated that certain shifts in the key assumptions could lead to the estimated recoverable amount becoming slightly lower than the carrying amount. The estimated recoverable amount for South Europe exceeded the carrying amount by SEK 68 million (EUR 6.3 million), or 26 percent. Moving forward, management will carefully monitor the development of the cash-generating unit in the event that new estimates and assumptions must be made due to altered conditions.

{14}------------------------------------------------

Management decided not to recognise any insurance compensation attributable to the fire-damaged production facility in Spain other than the compensation initially paid by the insurance company in August 2025, as the criteria for claims against the insurance company had not yet been met at year-end.

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 that have a significant impact on the financial statements, and the 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.

Note 6 | Measurement of financial assets and liabilities at fair value, Group

Fair value

The carrying amount of non-current receivables, accounts receivable, other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other non-current receivables, accounts payable and other current liabilities measured at amortised cost constitutes a reasonable approximation of fair value.

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. The fair 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. Non-current interest-bearing liabilities essentially have variable interest rates and their fair value therefore basically corresponds to their carrying amount. For current interest-bearing liabilities, no discount is applied, and their fair value essentially corresponds to their carrying amount. For further information about 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

There were no outstanding warrant programmes reserved for senior executives at year-end. The subscription period for TO2022/2025, which would have resulted in the granting of a maximum of 120,000 new Class B shares on full conversion, expired on 20 December 2025. No warrants were converted into Class B shares.

Earnings per share after dilution were not calculated in view of the fact that the average price of the Class B share during the period was below the subscription price for TO2022/2025 and there were no outstanding warrant programmes at year-end. For more information about outstanding warrant programmes, see Note 8 Employees, personnel expenses and senior executives' remuneration on pages 143–145 of the 2024 Annual Report.

Definitions

Midsona presents certain financial measures in the year-end report that are not defined under IFRS. Midsona considers these measures to provide useful supplemental 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 measures 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. The following table presents reconciliations with IFRS. A non-IFRS financial measure was revised with effect from 1 July 2025 to align more closely with the now applicable terms of financing agreements. Comparative figures have been restated where relevant.

Adjusted EBITDA: EBITDA, pro forma rolling 12 months, excluding restructuring expenses and other items affecting comparability, and acquisition-related restructuring and transaction expenses. A relevant measure to increase the comparability of EBITDA over time.
