CEO'S COMMENTS

96% growth in first six months of the year

During the second quarter MilDef was navigating its growth journey with confidence in a time that was otherwise one of uncertainty. Strong key ratios for the period are valuable, but the Company's long-term contracts are more important for future growth. During the period, MilDef signed a framework agreement with the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) worth SEK 870 million and the Company secured its largest contract to date in the USA, worth just over SEK 50 million. In addition, MilDef won a digitalization contract in Norway worth SEK 82 million. All of these events, as well as Sweden's upcoming NATO membership, are important milestones which I will come back to shortly.

As reported earlier, we have not seen any direct effects yet from increased defense appropriations on our order intake. Our assessment is that this is still one or more quarters away. We increased our order intake by 41% to SEK 256.4 during the quarter, compared with the same period the previous year. Compared with the first quarter of 2022, the order intake is up 147%.

Although the second quarter's operating profit of SEK -9.6 million (adjusted EBITDA) is weaker than the comparison quarter, significant improvements were delivered in the first half of the year. The adjusted EBITDA was SEK -3.3 million compared with SEK -17.2 million, and EBIT was SEK -14.8 million compared with SEK -33.4 million. The lower operating profit for the second quarter, despite the growth

achieved, is explained by continuing investments in staffing and in strengthening our delivery capacity to handle future growth. The costs for these are according to plan. Despite the current inflation situation, MilDef has maintained its gross margin – both in the first half of the year (48% compared with 43% in 2021) and in the second quarter (49% compared with 48% in 2021).

Growth despite ongoing component shortage

The previously reported challenges associated with the component shortage remain, but their impact is reduced by the new business opportunities and significantly improved key ratios that the Company is delivering. MilDef's half-year sales growth totals 96%, compared with the same period in 2021, with organic growth of 34%.

A Swedish framework agreement worth more than money

In May MilDef signed its to date largest framework agreement with the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration – a 7-year agreement with an estimated value of SEK 870 million. But the benefits of this agreement go beyond financial value. With a period of growth on the way, it is of utmost importance to have stable business relationships that facilitate cooperation, partnership and an open dialogue. We have now established these for our entire offering – a combination of hardware, software and digitalization services – for the long term.

MilDef is becoming an increasingly integrated part of the growth that is planned within the Swedish armed forces, where digitalization and tactical IT are key components.

Our biggest contract in the USA

Our US operations are clearly experiencing their best year since the start in 2016. The single largest contract for MilDef's North American operations was won in June and is worth over SEK 50 million. Through one of the largest military defense groups, MilDef will deliver 400 customized laptops for use by the US army. Significantly growing order intake indicate that MilDef's US operations will generate solid growth and strong operating profit for 2022.

New digitalization order in Norway

Just after the end of the second quarter the Norwegian FMA (equivalent to Sweden's FMV) placed a tactical IT order worth SEK 82 million for delivery in 2022 and 2023. Digitalization of the Norwegian armed forces is based on cutting-edge technology and uses the full spectrum of MilDef's portfolio.

MilDef already has a multi-year framework agreement with FMA and thus also a long-term strategic partnership.

"Strong key ratios for the period are valuable, but the Company's longterm contracts are more important for future growth"

Focusing on an active acquisition agenda

During the period we intensified our efforts to acquire companies that will help MilDef to grow in prioritized areas. No transactions have been executed, but we are optimistic about the work that has been done and the opportunities that exist to build an even stronger MilDef in cooperation with other excellent companies.

Our objective to implement at least one acquisition a year is still in place. With a balance sheet that remains strong, we have the financial muscle to act when we identify opportunities.

Value of NATO membership

In answer to questions I've been asked about the significant of Sweden's NATO membership, I've mentioned, among other things, a hidden currency where the Swedish defense industry has an opportunity to complement its cutting-edge technology with international security policy capital that we have not had in the past. The new dynamic in MilDef's markets requires and deserves its own strategy to maximize the potential that exists in cooperation between NATO countries.

In this context, I would like to highlight our OneCIS software, a system for automated rollout of IT systems. OneCIS is equipped with special compatibility support for Federated Mission Networking (FMN), a NATO standard for interoperability between nations. We see great potential here for internationalization of our unique offering.

We need to remember that the NATO issue is part of a larger context in which Russia continues its full-scale invasion of Ukraine while causing human suffering and enormous problems – both financially and from a security policy perspective. The consequences of this are deeply negative, long-lasting and hard to grasp.

The ways in which we are trying to contribute in a positive way in this global crisis are as follows: We are doing our utmost to securely and reliably deliver a technical advantage to total defense – for Sweden, the Nordics, the EU and NATO.

MilDef's financial development

ORDER STATUS

Each individual column in the diagram above shows MilDef's order intake over the past 12 months (LTM) in SEK million. The order intake are the total orders received during the period in question. Deliveries may take place over a number of years. MilDef monitors order intake to analyze future revenue streams and to validate forecasts.

The pie chart above shows future planned deliveries by year in SEK m and is based on MilDef's current order backlog at the end of the period. The actual outcome may differ significantly from the above planned deliveries, above all due to delays.

The columns in the diagram above show MilDef's current order backlog at the end of each calendar quarter in SEK million. The order backlog represents the total value of orders received. Deliveries may take place over a number of years. The Group's order backlog is measured to assess and calculate future revenue streams and cash flows.

Order backlog by planned deliveries (SEK m) Change in order backlog in the first half of 2022 (SEK m)

Order backlog as of January 1, 2022
Order intake first half of 2022	360.3
Sales first half of 2022	-259.8
Sales first half of 2022 not impacting order backlog	43.0
Currency effect in order backlog during the period	38.4
Order backlog as of June 30, 2022

The table above presents the development of MilDef's order backlog during the first half of 2022 and the size of the components included to arrive at the difference in the order backlog as of 1 January 2022 compared to 30 June 2022.

NET SALES

The columns above show MilDef's net sales for full year 2016–2021 and for January–June for the years 2016–2022. The diagram shows the clear seasonal variation in MilDef's net sales.

Net sales (SEK m) Net sales LTM (SEK m)

The diagram's columns show MilDef's net sales over the past 12 months (LTM) in SEK million. The columns show the data excluding seasonal variations during the year.

ADJUSTED OPERATING PROFIT (EBITDA) AND ADJUSTED OPERATING MARGIN (EBITDA)

Each column in the diagram above shows MilDef's operating profit (EBITDA) over the past 12 months (LTM) in SEK million, adjusted for non-recurring items. The non-recurring items are specified in detail on page 22 in Note 2. The purpose is to assess the Group's profits that are generated in operating activities.

The diagram above shows MilDef's operating margin (EBITDA) over the past 12 months (LTM) as a percentage, adjusted for non-recurring items. The non-recurring items are specified in detail on page 22 in Note 2. The adjusted EBITDA margin is stated as a percentage of net sales. MilDef considers the adjusted EBITDA margin to be a useful indicator to measure the Group's operational efficiency.

Financial overview

Profit/loss items and cash flow are compared with the corresponding period the previous year. The balance sheet items refer to the end of the period and are compared with the corresponding date the previous year.

Second quarter: April–June 2022

Order status

Order intake increased by 41% to SEK 256.4 million (181.7). The order backlog as of June 30, 2022 increased by 44% to SEK 913.4 million compared with June 30, 2021 (634.0). Defcon Solutions AB, which was acquired in the second half of 2021, contributed SEK 46.7 million to the quarter's order intake and SEK 118.4 million to the order backlog as of June 30, 2022. The name Defcon Solutions AB was changed to MilDef Integration Sweden AB in the fourth quarter of 2021, but in this report it is simply called "Defcon". Sysint AS, which was acquired in the first quarter of 2021, has not had any impact on order intake or order backlog during the period.

Net sales

Net sales in the second quarter of 2022 amounted to SEK 118.5 million (81.3), representing an increase of 46%. Acquisition-driven growth amounted to SEK 33.8 million in the second quarter, and is fully attributable to the acquisition of Defcon. In the second quarter of 2022 MilDef delivered growth in all geographical markets. See Note 1 on page 22 for more information.

Gross profit

Gross profit amounted to SEK 58.0 million (38.9), equivalent to a gross margin of 49% (48). The Company's gross margin may vary from quarter to quarter depending on sales volumes and the product and customer mix.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses amounted to SEK 73.0 million (49.4). Excluding acquired operating expenses and non-recurring items, the Company's operating expenses increased by 5% compared with the same quarter the previous year. The adjusted operating expenses as a percentage of sales amounted to 62% (61) for the period. The operating expenses increased by 10% in the second quarter of 2022 compared with the first quarter of 2022.

Operating profit (EBIT)

Operating profit (EBIT) in the second quarter of 2022 amounted to SEK -15.0 million (-10.5). Adjusted for non-recurring items, operating profit for the quarter amounted to SEK -15.0 million (-7.1), corresponding to an operating margin of -12.7% (-8.7). The lower operating profit for the second quarter, despite continued good growth, is explained by continuing investments in staffing and strengthened delivery capacity to handle future growth. The costs for these are according to plan. MilDef's sales and profits are affected by seasonal variations. Year-on-year comparisons between quarters can be made. The Group's strongest quarter in terms of sales and profits is normally the fourth quarter.

Adjusted operating profit (EBITDA)

Adjusted operating profit before depreciation/amortization and impairment amounted to SEK -9.6 million (-2.3), equivalent to a margin of -8.1% (-2.8). Depreciation/amortization and impairment amounted to SEK 5.4 million (4.7). The adjusted operating profit does not include non-recurring items of SEK 0.0 million (3.4). These items are specified in Note 2 on page 22.

Financial items

Net financial income/expense for the period amounted to SEK -0.2 million (1.6).

Tax

The tax effect in the second quarter had a positive impact on net profit of SEK 2.0 million (5.3) and related to a deferred tax asset based on tax loss carryforwards for the period.

Net profit for the quarter

Profit after tax amounted to SEK -13.2 million (-3.6). Earnings per share amounted to SEK -0.36 (-0.18), both before and after dilution.

Cash flow

Cash flow for the quarter was reported at SEK -89.3 million (326.0). Operating cash flow in the quarter amounted to SEK -49.0 million (-0.1). Increased inventory intended to shorten lead times going forward lowered the operating cash flow by SEK 21.2 in the second quarter.

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK -45.1 million (2.6). Cash flow from changes in working capital amounted to SEK -23.4 million (9.7). Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -3.9 million (-2.7).

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -40.3 million (326.1). In the second quarter a contingent consideration of NOK 11 million was paid for the acquisition of Sysint AS. The change from previous years is mainly explained by the fact that in 2021 there was a positive effect of a new share issue of SEK 375.6 million in connection with MilDef's IPO.

First half of the year: January–June 2022

Order status

Order intake increased by 38% to SEK 360.3 million (261.2). Order backlog increased by 44% to SEK 913.4 million (634.0). Defcon Solutions AB, which was acquired in the second half of 2021, contributed SEK 74.5 million to the quarter's order intake and SEK 118.4 million to the order backlog as of June 30, 2022. Sysint AS, which was acquired in the first quarter of 2021, has not had any impact on order intake or order backlog during the period.

MilDef received a significant customer contract in the fourth quarter of 2020 in the UK market. The total value of the contract is around SEK 275 million. The contract spans 10 years and serial delivery is not expected to start until 2023. MilDef is expecting planned deliveries to proceed according to the contract, in terms of both schedule and volume. However, the risk of changes or reduction in scope cannot be excluded.

Net sales

Net sales in the first half of 2022 amounted to SEK 259.8 million (132.3), representing growth totaling 96%. Acquisition-driven growth amounted to SEK 81.8 million for the period and is related to the acquisitions of Sysint AS and Defcon. Organic growth increased by 34% and acquisition-driven growth accounted for 62% of the total sales growth in the first half of 2022, compared with the same period the previous year.

Gross profit

Gross profit amounted to SEK 124.5 million (56.4), equivalent to a gross margin of 48% (43). The acquisitions executed in 2021 are among the reasons for the increased gross margin; another contributing factor is the fact that MilDef's efforts to increase the gross margin of the existing product portfolio yielded the desired result. This is despite an external situation where component prices and freight costs are rising. The Company's gross margin may vary slightly over time depending on sales volumes and the product and customer mix.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses amounted to SEK 139.3 million (89.8). Excluding acquired operating expenses and non-recurring items, the Company's operating expenses were 6% higher than in the same quarter the previous year. The adjusted operating expenses as a percentage of sales amounted to 54% (68) for the period. The operating expenses were 13% higher in the first half of 2022 than in the second half of 2021.

Operating profit (EBIT)

Operating profit (EBIT) in the first half of 2022 amounted to SEK -14.8 million (-33.4), corresponding to an operating margin of -5.7% (-25.2). The clearly improved operating profit is due to increased sales in combination with an increased gross margin. MilDef's sales and profits are affected by seasonal variations. Year-on-year comparisons between quarters can be made. The Group's strongest quarter in terms of sales and profits is normally the fourth quarter.

Adjusted operating profit (EBITDA)

Adjusted operating profit before depreciation/amortization and impairment amounted to SEK -3.3 million (-17.2), equivalent to a margin of -1.3% (-13.0). Depreciation/ amortization and impairment amounted to SEK 11.5 million (9.1). The adjusted operating profit does not include non-recurring items of SEK 0 million (7.1). These items are specified in Note 2 on page 22.

Financial items

Net financial income/expense for the period amounted to SEK -1.0 million (0.2).

Tax

The tax effect in the period contributed positively to net sales in the amount of SEK 2.9 million (10.4). The positive effect relates to deferred tax assets based on tax loss carryforwards.

Net profit for first half of the year

Profit after tax amounted to SEK -12.9 million (-22.8). Earnings per share was SEK -0.36 (-1.42) before and SEK -0.35 (-1.42) after dilution.

Cash flow

Cash flow reported for the period amounted to SEK -48.5 million (305.4). Operating cash flow amounted to SEK -5.6 million (-20.1).

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 1.6 million (-8.5). Cash flow from changes in working capital amounted to SEK 22.4 million (25.3). Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -7.2 million (-40.1).

Cash flow from investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets amounted to SEK -7.2 (-11.2). Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -42.6 million (354.0). The first half of the year was impacted by dividends paid to the shareholders in the amount of SEK -27.3 million (-17.4). Amortization of interest-bearing liabilities was charged to financing activities in the amount of SEK -11.4 million (0).

Equity

The Group's equity amounted to SEK 534.6 million (513.0) at the end of the period. The equity-assets ratio as of June 30, 2022 was 70% (73).

Net working capital

Net working capital amounted to SEK 140.9 million (45.9) at the end of the period. Increased volumes have had a negative impact on working capital. Net working capital in relation to net sales increased by 14 percentage points, from 10% as of June 30, 2021 to 24% as of June 30, 2022.

The change in cash and cash equivalents is mainly the result of the Company issuing new shares in connection with the Company's IPO. Net debt at the end of the period in relation to adjusted operating profit (EBITDA) over the past 12-month period, excluding the effects of IFRS 16 Leases, amounted to -2.0 (-4.5). If calculated including these effects, the net indebtedness would be -0.8 (-3.6).

Other information

Parent Company

The operations of MilDef Group AB (corp. reg. no. 556893-5414), registered office in Helsingborg, Sweden, are primarily focused on the Group's strategic development and group-wide functions such as HR, IT, finance, etc. Most of the funds from the Group's external financing are held within the Parent Company. As of the end of the period the Company had 36 employees.

MilDef Group AB's share

MilDef Group AB (publ) has been listed on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm Small Cap in the Industrial Goods and Services sector since June 4, 2021. The share's ISIN code is SE0016074249. The share is traded under the ticker MILDEF. A trading unit is one (1) share.

Share capital and number of shares

The total number of shares as of June 30, 2022 was 36,389,373 (35,617,922) and the share capital was SEK 9,097,343.25 (6,164,754.50). All of the shares are ordinary shares carrying the same voting rights. The shares have a quota value of SEK 0.25. At the end of the period the closing price was SEK 57.10 and the market value was SEK 2,078 million. The total number of shareholders at the end of the period was 7,800.

Accounting principles

MilDef prepares its consolidated accounts in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. This interim report was prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The Parent Company applies the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities, and the Annual Accounts Act. The accounting principles applied correspond to the accounting and valuation principles presented in the 2021 Annual Report. The 2021 Annual Report is available at www.mildef.com.

Judgements and estimates in the financial statements

Preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Management Team to make judgements and estimates that affect the application of the accounting principles and the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Actual outcomes may deviate from these estimates and judgements. Estimates and

assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis. Changes in estimates are reported in the period the change is made if the change has only affected that period, or in the period the change is made and in future periods if the change affects both the current period and future periods.

Alternative performance measure

MilDef applies the guidelines for alternative performance measures issued by ESMA, the European Securities and Markets Authority. Alterative performance measures are financial measures that cannot be directly gleaned or deduced from the financial statements. These financial measures are intended to facilitate the Management Team's and investors' analysis of the Group's development. Investors should not regard these alternative performance measures as substitutes for the financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, but rather as complements to the statements. Definitions of the alternative performance measures are presented on page 27.

Segments

MilDef's operations are treated as one segment as this reflects the Group's business, financial monitoring and management structure. MilDef's CEO, who is the highest executive decision-maker, monitors and analyzes results and financial position for the Group as a whole. The CEO does not monitor results on a disaggregated level lower than at consolidation level. The CEO thus also decides on allocation of resources and takes strategic decisions based on consolidation as a whole. Based on IFRS 8, the analysis concludes that the MilDef Group consists of only one reporting segment.

Seasonal variations

MilDef's sales and profits are affected by seasonal variations. Year-on-year comparisons between quarters can be made. The Group's strongest quarter in terms of sales and profits is normally the fourth quarter. Most of the seasonal variations are in the Nordic market.

Unevenly divided between order inflow and sales

MilDef's markets are characterized by large procurements with irregular frequency. The lead times are often long due to extensive administrative processes and long sales cycles. Both order intake and sales may fluctuate significantly between the quarters. The Company's development should therefore be evaluated in a longer perspective and not based on an individual quarter or year.

Significant events during the second quarter of 2022

In May 2022 MilDef signed a 7-year framework agreement with FMV and the Swedish Armed Forces. MilDef's future commitment to FMV and the Armed Forces will include the whole of MilDef's portfolio of tactical IT as well as associated system delivery. In addition to concrete product deliveries, the agreement also gives the FMV and the Armed Forces the ability to place suborders for training and other services. The agreement is an intensification of the partnership between MilDef and its Swedish defense customer in which an important criterion for the customer is increased supply reliability.

The framework agreement with FMV consolidates a long-term and close relationship, and ensures the commercial dimension for the years ahead. MilDef's clear ambition – across the entire spectrum of digitalization – is to efficiently deliver the defense capability that the Armed Forces and FMV are now planning for. Under the framework agreement MilDef will contribute all of its expertise in the areas of modernization and digitalization.

MilDef's targeted and long-term investment in the US market continues to yield results. In June MilDef won its single largest contract to date in the US market. Under the contract, MilDef, through one of the largest global defense groups, will deliver 400 customized laptops to digitalize the US army. Delivery is expected to take place in the second half of 2022.

Significant events after the end of the period

At the beginning of July 2022 MilDef won a strategically important order in Norway. The order value of the deliveries is expected to total SEK 82 million. Deliveries are planned in the amount SEK 12 million in 2022. The remaining SEK 70 million is expected to be delivered in 2023. Under the contract, MilDef's assignment is to equip Norwegian armored vehicles with computers, displays and network infrastructure for digital management systems. Existing technology in the vehicles was delivered by MilDef and other suppliers in 2008. The new delivery will consist of tactical IT from MilDef's hardware portfolio, integration and other services.

After the end of the second quarter MilDef also signed an agreement with Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken (SEB) for a credit facility for acquisitions in the amount of SEK 250 million and a revolving overdraft facility of SEK 75

million. The credit facility agreements entered into are intended to make it possible to finance future acquisitions. At the same time MilDef terminated its previous revolving overdraft facility of SEK 50 million. No other events considered of significance have taken place since the end of the period up to the signing of this interim report.

Employees

The number of employees in the Group, recalculated to full-time equivalents (FTEs), was 213 (149) at the end of the period. 167 (116) of the employees were men and 46 (33) were women. The average number of FTEs amounted to 209 during the period, compared with 148 in the corresponding period the previous year.

Research and development

MilDef conducts extensive, ongoing research and development. This is considered a critical factor for continued organic growth and to penetrate new markets. It is important to identify the customers' changing requirements and transform them into the best solutions for every given market situation. In 2022 further resources were added to the R&D department to handle an increasing number of projects, many of which are highly complex. Around 14% of MilDef's employees work in R&D-related positions.

Significant risks and factors of uncertainty

MilDef's operations and results are affected by a number of external and internal factors. A constant process is under way to identify all of the risks that occur and to assess how to manage each risk. MilDef's risks can be divided into market-related, operational and financial risk. For a more detailed description of financial risk, see pages 66–69 in the Company's 2021 Annual Report. No other material financial risks, other than those described there, have been identified.

Transactions with related parties

No board member or senior executive has or has had any direct or indirect participation in any business transactions with Group companies during the current or previous financial years on terms that are or were unusual in nature. Nor has any Group company provided loans or guarantees, or entered into any surety agreement for any of the members of the Board or senior executives.

Contingent liabilities

There have been no changes in the Group's contingent liabilities as described in more detail on page 96 in Note 20 of the 2021 Annual Report.

Disputes

The Company is not a party in any material dispute.

Annual General Meeting 2022

The Annual General Meeting on May 12, 2022 decided to re-elect Jan Andersson as Chair of the Board as well as board members Marianne Trolle, Lennart Pihl, Charlotte Darth, Berndt Grundevik and Christian Hammenborn.

At the subsequent statutory board meeting Jan Andersson (Chair) and Lennart Pihl were elected as members of the Remuneration Committee until the next statutory board meeting. For the same period, Lennart Pihl (Chair), Charlotte Darth and Christian Hammenborn were elected as members of the Audit Committee.

Authorized public accountants Andreas Brodström and Bengt Ekenberg were elected as the Company's auditors for a term of one year. Both work at Mazars AB. Auditors' fees are payable as invoiced.

The AGM also decided to authorize the Board, on one or several occasions up to the 2023 AGM, to decide on issuing new shares for cash, in-kind or offset payment and, in doing so, be able to deviate from the shareholders' preferential rights. This authorization is limited to a maximum of 10% of the total number of shares in the Company at the time the authorization is exercised. The

purpose of the authorization and the reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is to enable the Company to issue shares to finance acquisitions of companies or operations, or part thereof.

The 2022 AGM voted in favor of the Board's proposal to pay a dividend to the shareholders of SEK 0.75 per share (SEK 0.75 after a 2:1 split) for the 2021 financial year, equivalent to a total dividend of SEK 27.3 million. The dividend was paid out on May 19, 2022.

Forward-looking statements

This report may contain forward-looking statements based on the Management Team's current expectations. Even though management determines that the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no guarantee that these expectations will prove to be correct. Consequently, future outcomes may vary significantly compared with those expressed in forward-looking statements, depending on factors such as changed conditions in the market for MilDef's products and more general changes in, for example, the economy, markets and competition, legal requirements and other political measures, and fluctuations in exchange rates.

Audit review

Additional performance measures

The Group's performance measures are detailed below. Some of these are defined in accordance with IFRS. Other than these, the Group has identified certain additional performance measures that provide the Company's investors and management with supplementary information to facilitate the assessment of relevant trends as well as the Company's performance. Since not all companies calculate financial measures in the same way, these are not always comparable with measures used by other companies. These financial measures are therefore to be seen as supplementing the performance measures defined according to IFRS.

Vision

Your number one choice for tactical IT.

Mission

In an ever-changing and increasingly digitalized world, there is an urgent need for tactical IT systems for critical processes in society – systems that are robust, fit for purpose and produce the desired effect. MilDef will provide unique solutions to meet those needs with high quality, speed and precision.

Business concept

MilDef's hardware and software products are combined with services to deliver effective digitalization. MilDef Group operates in the global security and defense market and in other areas that are crucial for society.

Growth strategy

MilDef's growth strategy is based on three prioritized areas. The intention is to drive growth organically and through acquisitions, but also by expanding the customer offering. This strategy includes MilDef expanding both geographically and by adding products and services.

Organic growth

In established markets MilDef is aiming to increase the share of long-term contracts and framework agreements. A long-term presence, strong position and proven delivery capability increase the opportunities to win large contracts in markets that are already established.

Acquisitions

MilDef has a structured acquisition strategy to support market entry and add complementary technologies to its portfolio where the Company's strong international distribution channels can be reused. Based on implemented acquisitions, MilDef has created a structured model to identify potential acquisition candidates, address and evaluate these and, once the transaction is complete, integrate them.

Expanded customer offering MilDef has expanded its customer offering, which in the past was mainly focused on hardware, to also include services and software. MilDef considers these three areas – hardware, services and software – to have the potential to be equally strong business divisions over time.

Financial targets

Growth

MilDef's target is to grow sales over time by at least 15% per year, including acquisitions.

Profitability

MilDef's target is an operating margin (EBITDA) over time of at least 10%.

Capital structure

MilDef's target is for interest-bearing net debt not to exceed 2.5 times operating profit (EBITDA), other than temporarily.

Dividend policy

MilDef's target is to pay out an annual dividend of 20–40% of profit after tax. MilDef will, however, take long-term development, capital structure and the prevailing market conditions into account.
