STRONG DEVELOPMENT IN THE QUARTER DESPITE SOFT MARKET

HAKI Safety reports a strong development in the third quarter. The acquisitions of recent years continue to contribute positively to the Group's development, while the cost-saving and efficiency programme initiated earlier this year for the Scaffolding Systems business area is yielding results. Net sales increased by 14 percent compared to the corresponding period last year, despite a soft market, and we saw a good margin improvement.

The Work Zone Safety business area increased its sales year-on-year, primarily attributable to acquisitions that reported continued strong demand from the aviation market segment. Demand was mixed in other product categories. Overall, the market was soft, but we are experiencing that the situation is temporary as the activity level is high with many inquiries and ongoing negotiations. The product mix in the quarter had a negative impact on the margin.

The Scaffolding Systems business area increased its sales year-on-year, even though no major buyouts of rental equipment occurred during the quarter. The margin increased, which is mainly explained by higher volumes and effects from the cost-saving and efficiency programme. The programme, initiated at the end of the first quarter and aimed to reduce the cost base by SEK 10-15 M annually, is progressing according to plan and is expected to take full effect in 2026.

It is gratifying to note an overall recovery in demand. In general, demand remained healthy for products for energy and infrastructure projects. Demand for products for new construction and renovation of properties in the UK was soft, while the market generally showed signs of some recovery in the Scandinavian countries. Denmark also reported a seasonally high demand for materials for festivals and weather protection. As for the Work Zone Safety business area, activity levels are high with many inquiries and ongoing negotiations.

The Digital Solutions business area, which primarily distributes measuring instruments for surveying and mapping, performed well in a somewhat soft market. The integration of Trimtec is progressing according to plan, and new business opportunities have already been identified. At the end of October, Trimtec is organising a major user conference with approximately 200 participants, which is part of the work to strengthen its market position in the Swedish market.

To finance the acquisition of Trimtec, a new issue of A and B shares with preferential rights for HAKI Safety's existing shareholders was carried out during the quarter. The issue provided the Group with approximately SEK 50 M and was oversubscribed, which is a clear strength. The new issue also had a positive impact on net debt.

During the quarter, an additional purchase price was paid for our French operations, which were acquired in 2022. The operation continues to develop well and are positioned in several interesting future growth areas.

Despite the fact that events in the world continue to pose significant uncertainty for market development, we are overall positive about the future. We are experiencing high market activity, while our business concept of offering safe working conditions for everyone working in demanding environments remains strong. The Group is developing well, thanks to the support of acquisitions made in recent years.

Malmö, 22 October 2025 Sverker Lindberg, President and CEO

During the quarter, the UK reported lower demand for products for new construction and renovations of commercial real estate, while the market remained weak in Austria.

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.

Significant events during the quarter

On 28 August 2025, HAKI Safety announced that the Board of Directors had resolved to carry out a new issue of A and B shares of approximately SEK 50 M with preferential rights for HAKI Safety's existing shareholders (Rights Issue), to repay the bridge loan facility that was part of the financing of the acquisition of Trimtec earlier this year. The subscription period in the Rights Issue ended on 22 September 2025 and the final outcome showed that it was subscribed to in total 104.3 percent, with and without preferential right, and no guarantee undertakings thus needed to be utilised.

Through the Rights Issue, HAKI Safety's share capital will increase by SEK 24,844,660, from SEK 273,291,360 to SEK 298,136,020 and the total number of shares will increase by 871,336 new A shares and 1,613,130 new B shares, in total 2,484,466 new shares. Following the Rights Issue, the number of shares in HAKI Safety will amount to a total of 29,813,602, of which 10,456,033 are A shares and 19,357,569 are B shares.

Information about the Rights Issue is available at www.hakisafety.com/investors/rightsissue2025.

Significant events after the close of the period

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

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

HAKI Safety has the following financial targets and 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.

Sustainability targets

Since 2025, the Group has four sustainability goals in the areas of environment, social responsibility, and governance. The targets will be followed up on annually and reported in future annual reports. Read more about the Group's sustainability goals on www.hakisafety.com.

Concerning the Group's target within health & safety, HAKI Safety has made a commitment to zero Total Recordable Injury Frequency (TRIF). HAKI Safety shall provide employees with appropriate training and instructions for safe work practices. All employees must, at the same time, follow safety instructions and engage in safety improvement activities, where reporting on incidents and risks is an important part. Calculated on a rolling twelve-month basis, TRIF was 7.7 at the end of the third quarter.

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.

Auditor's review

This report has been subject to review by the company's auditor.

Forward-looking information

This report contains forward-looking information based on the current expectations of company management. Although management deems that the expectations presented by such forward-looking information are reasonable, no guarantee can be given that these expectations will prove correct. Accordingly, the actual future outcome could vary considerably compared with what is stated in the forward-looking information due to such factors as changed conditions regarding finances, market and competition, changes in legal and regulatory requirements and other political measures, and fluctuations in exchange rates.

THE AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT

This is a translation of the Swedish language original.

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim report for HAKI Safety AB (publ), corporate identity number 556323-2536, for the period January 1 to September 30, 2025. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope or review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information 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 substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.

Conclusion

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

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 74 M and an operating profit of SEK 9 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
