ORGANIC GROWTH AND ACQUISITIONS THAT DELIVER BUT PRODUCT MIX AFFECTING THE MARGIN

HAKI Safety reports increased net sales during the second quarter, with acquisitions made in recent years positively contributing to the Group's development. However, the gross margin is mainly affected by an unfavourable product mix for the quarter. We are experiencing high market activity, with many inquiries and ongoing negotiations compared to the beginning of the year.

Net sales increased 23 percent compared to the same period last year, of which 6 percent was organic growth. Gross margin was negatively affected by the product mix within the Group and by low capacity utilisation in the production facilities of the Scaffolding Systems business area.

During the quarter, our new organisational structure, with three business areas, became operational. The new structure clarifies that the Group's operations have different growth prerequisites, while also enabling a strategic focus on business development and profit generation. The reason for the new structure is that the Group has acquired six companies in the past six years. HAKI Safety has transitioned from selling only scaffolding systems to offering a broader range of safety solutions, ultimately aiming to create safe conditions for everyone working in demanding environments.

The Work Zone Safety business area increased net sales year-on-year, primarily attributable to continued healthy demand from the aviation market segment. The demand was mixed in other markets, and the product mix burdened the margin.

The Scaffolding Systems business area increased net sales year-on-year but continues to face profitability challenges in its operations. The cost-saving and efficiency programme, initiated at the end of the first quarter, aimed to reduce the cost base by SEK 10-15 M annually, is progressing according to plan. The programme includes several activities, ranging from reducing personnel costs to implementing more efficient solutions within the supply chain. The effects of the programme are expected to take full effect in 2026.

Demand for products for energy projects in Norway remained healthy, while the relatively high level of demand for infrastructure projects in Denmark was normalised at a lower level. The activity levels on the Swedish and UK markets indicate some recovery, albeit from low levels.

The Digital Solutions business area, which primarily distributes measuring instruments for surveying and mapping, reported a continued positive trend year-on-year, with the Group's latest acquisition, Trimtec, contributing positively to the performance.

Landqvist Mekaniska Verkstad, the remaining portfolio company from the Group's time as a conglomerate, was divested during the quarter. Landqvist has been a profitable holding, but does not fit into the Group we are now building and developing. The divestment had a positive impact on net debt in the quarter. Net debt and the net debt ratio, however, remained higher than in previous periods, which is attributed to the acquisition of Trimtec in the first quarter. The acquisition was initially financed through an extension of our existing credit facilities, but may, as we

have previously announced, be refinanced through a new issue of shares.

Even if we are experiencing high market activity, with many inquiries and ongoing negotiations, events in the world continue to pose uncertainty for market development. However, we continue to develop and strengthen our Group based on a set strategy, where our safety products and solutions at temporary workplaces are supported by underlying macroeconomic trends that, in turn, support our growth ambitions. With this, we are positive about the future overall.

Malmö, 15 July 2025 Sverker Lindberg, President and CEO

REPORT COMMENTS

GROUP SECOND QUARTER 2025

Group net sales amounted to SEK 324 M (263), an increase of 23 percent compared with the year-earlier quarter. Organically, net sales increased 6 percent. Acquisitions and divestments had a positive net impact on net sales of 20 percent, and exchange rate effects had a negative net impact on net sales of 3 percent.

Gross margin was 35.2 percent (36.6), negatively impacted by product mix in the Group as well as low capacity utilisation in the production facilities within the Scaffolding Systems business area.

Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 20 M (20), corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 6.2 percent (7.6), with the decrease primarily due to an unfavourable product mix.

Operating profit totalled SEK 20 M (18), corresponding to an operating margin of 6.2 percent (6.7). The divestment of Landqvist Mekaniska Verkstad resulted in a capital gain of SEK 3 M, including transaction costs. Depreciations and write-downs of acquisitions-related assets were SEK 3 M (2).

Net financial income amounted to SEK -6 M (-5). The net financial income for the period includes a net interest income of SEK -5 M (-5) and exchange rate effects and other financial posts of SEK -1 M (0).

Net result after tax totalled SEK 11 M (11), corresponding to SEK 0.40 per share before and after dilution (0.40).

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 56 M (14), related to a positive working capital trend. Net investments in strategic rental equipment were SEK -17 M (-63). Cash flow from investment activities amounted to SEK 51 M (-6), related to the divestment of Landqvist Mekaniska Verkstad. Cash flow from financing activities was SEK -43 M (21), primarily related to dividends to shareholders and amortisation of financial debts.

Group financial net debt amounted to SEK 390 M compared to SEK 380 M at the beginning of the year, which is partly explained by the acquisition of Trimtec. The acquisition was initially financed through an extension of existing credit facilities, but may, as has previously been announced, be refinanced through a new issue of shares.

Business area WORK ZONE SAFETY

Work zone safety products and solutions are designed to protect those working at height or in confined spaces, or moving at temporary or non-stationary workplaces. The products include catchfans, barrier systems, fall protection, and access platforms, which, for example, enable safe and efficient maintenance of aircraft and trains and the construction and maintenance of commercial real estate and infrastructures such as bridges and tunnels. The business area includes the brands HAKI, EKRO and Semmco.

Demand for work zone safety products was mixed during the second quarter. Net sales increased 10 percent year-on-year, primarily attributable to the acquisition of Semmco and a continued healthy demand from the aviation market segment. Demand was slightly lower in the UK and France for products for the infrastructure and commercial real estate market segments, and was weak in Austria. At the same time, Eastern Europe reported a positive demand trend, albeit from low levels. Generally, market activity is high, with many inquiries and ongoing negotiations.

Adjusted EBITA and the adjusted EBITA margin decreased compared with the year-earlier period, mainly attributable to unfavourable product mix, which was only partially offset by synergies from acquisitions.

The market for system scaffolds was good during the second quarter. Net sales increased 30 percent year-on-year. Demand for products for energy projects in Norway remained healthy, while the relatively high level of demand for infrastructure projects in Denmark was normalised at a lower level. The activity levels on the Swedish and UK markets indicate some recovery, albeit from low levels. No major buyouts of rental equipment occurred during the quarter.

The business area includes the operations of Norgeodesi and Trimtec.

The market for cadastral surveying and mapping developed well during the second quarter. Net sales increased 111 percent year-on-year, attributable to the acquisition of Trimtec. The Norwegian operation faced delivery challenges yet again, resulting in lower sales levels, but returned to a positive sales trend by the end of the quarter.

Adjusted EBITA was higher compared with the year-earlier period, while the adjusted EBITA margin was lower, mainly due to the acquisition of Trimtec.

Significant events during the quarter

New business area structure

A new decentralised business area structure, which places increased focus on future profitable growth, became operational in the quarter. Three business areas —Work Zone Safety, Scaffolding Systems, and Digital Solutions —were introduced, which will enable a strategic focus on business development and profit generation. The ambition is also that the financial markets gain an increased understanding of the Group's operations with more transparent financial reporting.

Divestment of Landqvist Mekaniska Verkstad

HAKI Safety divested Landqvist Mekaniska Verkstad, the remaining portfolio company from the Group's time as a conglomerate. The buyer is the Swedish industry Group Opima. The initial purchase price amounts to SEK 50 M on a debt-free basis, including customary working capital adjustments. An additional SEK 20 M in purchase price may be added, depending on the company's financial performance in 2025, of which SEK 15 M has been considered when calculating the realisation result. The divestment resulted in a capital gain of SEK 3 M, including transaction costs, which is reported in the second quarter. The Group's cash flow and net debt will be positively affected by the amount corresponding to the purchase price. Landqvist Mekaniska Verkstad is a mechanical engineering company specialising in metal machining and contract manufacturing, primarily serving Swedish industries. In 2024, the company reported annual sales of approximately SEK 78 M and an operating profit of SEK 9 M. The operation is in Fåglum, Sweden, and has 30 employees.

HAKI Safety's Chairman is also the Chairman of Opima's board. However, the transaction took place before the Annual General Meeting elected him as the new chairman of HAKI Safety, and he did not participate in Opima's decision to acquire Landqvist Mekaniska Verkstad and was not involved in preparing the divestment from HAKI Safety's side.

Significant events after the close of the period

No significant events have been reported after the close of the period.

Material risks and uncertainty factors

An important element of HAKI Safety's strategic planning is identifying business-critical risks that could have a negative impact on the Group. Group-wide long-term risks are managed through a risk management process, where material risks are identified and categorised into four key areas: strategic risks, operational risks, compliance risks, and financial risks. For information about these risks and the risk management process, refer to the 2024 Annual Report available at www.hakisafety.com. Short-term risks include, among other things, wars and conflicts that can give rise to global geopolitical effects, as well as general

macroeconomic factors that can impact growth, interest rates, inflation, and currencies. The Group's direct exposure to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding tariff levels between the US and Europe is limited, as HAKI Safety has a small production facility in the US with a domestic supply chain. The indirect consequences of the ongoing uncertainty are difficult to predict, but they could lead to inflation in the US and Europe, which in turn could affect HAKI Safety's ability to achieve its financial goals. The Group continuously monitors global events to mitigate any negative effects through various action programs, including cost savings, price adjustments, or production adjustments.

Financial targets and dividend policy

In connection with the Group's Capital Markets Day in March 2024, HAKI Safety published financial targets and a dividend policy for the Group:

1. Net sales of SEK 2,000 M by 2027

Net sales are to amount to SEK 2,000 M by 2027. The net sales increase will be based on a combination of organic growth, organic growth projects and acquired growth. 2. Adjusted EBITA margin >10%

The adjusted EBITA margin is to amount to more than 10 percent. Adjusted EBITA margin is deemed to give a fair picture of the profitability of the underlying business as it excludes amortisation and write-downs of acquisition-related intangible assets and non-recurring items. 3. Financial net debt in relation to adjusted EBITDA <2.5

EBITDA is to be less than 2.5. The key figure shows the relation of net debt to adjusted EBITDA. The financial net debt refers to interest-bearing liabilities with deductions for cash and adjusted EBITDA as operating profit excluding depreciation, amortisation and write-downs and non-recurring items. The measures are measured excluding the effects of IFRS 16.

Dividend policy

The dividend is to amount to 25-50 percent of the year's net profit. Proposals for dividends will consider the shareholders' expectation of a reasonable dividend yield and the business's need for financing.

Accounting principles

The Group's interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2. HAKI Safety continues to apply the same accounting principles and valuation methods that are described in the most recent annual report. Amendments to IFRS standards that became effective in 2024 have not had a material impact on the result and financial position of HAKI Safety. This report is presented in SEK million, why rounding differences can occur at certain rows and amounts.

Operating segments

A new decentralised business area structure with three business areas that places increased focus on future profitable growth became operational on 1 May 2025. However, the new structure was reflected in the quarterly report as of the first quarter of 2025. Restated historical financial information for 2024, presented quarterly, is available on HAKI Safety's website at www.hakisafety.com.

HAKI Safety offers a wide range of products and solutions within work zone safety, scaffolding systems and digital and technical solutions that help customers achieve safety and efficiency in their various environments.

  • Work Zone Safety: catchfans, barrier systems, fall protection, platforms, stairs, etc.
  • Scaffolding Systems: system and frame scaffolding, weather protection, stair solutions, bridge systems, etc.
  • Digital Solutions: surveying instruments and equipment for land surveying, and construction laser level tools.
  • Other: Discontinued operation and common costs.

Information on financial instruments

HAKI Safety has no financial assets valued as fair value through the income statement. All financial assets are valued at amortised cost. Acquisition-related earnouts are accounted for as a financial liability in the balance sheet, which is valued at fair value in accordance with level 3, in accordance with IFRS 13. Earnouts have been calculated based on discounting future cash flow. Evaluation of future cash flow for earnouts is based on gross profit in acquired operations. The fair value of earnouts will be changed if assumptions in gross profit in acquired businesses are changed. A complete description of accounting principles is presented in the 2024 Annual Report.

Related-party transactions

HAKI Safety's related-party transactions are described in the 2024 Annual Report. No transactions between HAKI Safety and its related parties have been carried out during the period which has had a significant impact on the company's position and results.

At the 2022 Annual General Meeting, it was resolved that Group Management would be allowed to acquire call options in line with the Group's long-term incentive program. The call options were acquired at market value in accordance with a valuation by an independent third party. The call option program was fully subscribed, with the CEO acquiring 150,000 options

and other senior executives acquiring 350,000 options, of which 100,000 were synthetic options, in accordance with the principles established by the Annual General Meeting.

The call options entitled the holder to subscribe for new B shares in the company during the period 1 May 2025, up to and including 30 June 2025, at a subscription price corresponding to 135 percent of the volume-weighted average price according to Nasdaq Stockholm's official price list for the share during the five trading days immediately following the 2022 Annual General Meeting, adjusted for share dividends during the period, which led to a subscription price of SEK 34.10 per share. None of the participants in the programme chose to exercise their subscription rights. When calculating earnings per share, no dilution effect has therefore been considered. No new incentive programme has been initiated.

Auditor's review

ACQUISITIONS

On 30 January 2025, HAKI Safety signed an agreement to acquire Trimtec, a Swedish distributor of high-tech precision equipment. The transaction was finalised in March 2025, after regulatory approval from the relevant authority.

The acquisition broadens the Group's geodesy offering to more geographies, strengthens the digital offering and enables a complete offering on the Swedish market, from project planning to delivery of safety products. Trimtec sells and rents precision equipment for, among other things, cadastral and mapping, as well as offers service maintenance contracts and training. Its head office is in Stockholm, and the company has sales offices in five additional Swedish cities. Trimtec's turnover for 2024 amounted to approximately SEK 130 M. It was founded in 2002 and currently has approximately 40 employees. The majority of the company's product range is manufactured by Trimble, a leading provider of precision equipment for cadastral surveying and mapping.

Since the acquisition, Trimtec has contributed with a net sale of approximately SEK 48 M and an operating profit of SEK 6 M, including depreciation of acquired intangible assets (customer relations). If Trimtec had been part of the Group since 1 January 2025, HAKI Safety's net sales would have been approximately SEK 19 M higher and operating profit about SEK 1 M higher for the 2025 financial year.

The purchase price amounted to SEK 50 M on a debt- and cashfree basis. Subject to certain financial performance goals within Trimtec being fulfilled during the period 2025 and 2026, an additional maximum of SEK 50 M in contingent cash consideration (earn-out) may also be paid. The initial purchase price was paid in cash and financed through an increase of existing credit facilities. Transaction costs of SEK 2 M has been charged the financial year. The purchase price allocation is preliminary.
