CEO's comments
A good end to a challenging year
We delivered a strong fourth quarter, with 18 percent organic growth, with continued healthy progress in all our categories. In addition, we completed the acquisition of the companies behind the strong Koroyd brand, which opens the door to new strategic long-term opportunities for us.
Momentum in Europe has remained strong. We continue to win market share in the European market, as European helmet brands are equipping more and more helmet models with Mips' safety system.
The full-year performance has followed the same positive trend with an organic growth of 21 percent. This was driven by strong growth in Europe, particularly in the bike and snow sub-categories. It is encouraging to see that the Mips safety system now has become such a central part of many helmet brands' overall safety efforts also in Europe.
Sales to our customers in the US have been volatile and we have seen an impact of the US tariffs during the year. Our customers have periodically been hesitant to place orders as they have been unsure about whether the tariffs communicated would be permanent or only temporary. This behavior has been consistent across many industries especially in the sport & outdoor sector. The lower levels of purchases in both retail and from brands have meant that inventory levels of, for example, bikes are now at their lowest in a decade, apart from the pandemic years of 2020 and 2021. We also see a similar situation with reduced purchases and lower inventory levels of helmets. It is therefore particularly pleasing that, despite this, we have delivered growth in the US market for the full year thanks to market share gains with more helmet models equipped with Mips' safety systems.
Operating profit decreased in the quarter compared to the prior year, which is entirely due to legal costs, the negative currency effects, and acquisition costs for the Koroyd acquisition. Legal costs amounted to SEK 7m this quarter. These are due to a patent-related dispute in which one of Mips' customers in the US is a party. As previously communicated, Mips is not a party to the lawsuit, but since the lawsuit concerns areas where Mips has intellectual property rights that are an important cornerstone of our strong brand, Mips has chosen to get involved. We will continue to support our customer in their defense in 2026, similar to how we have acted in 2025, to best serve our customers' interests, as well as our own. Mips' own intellectual property rights are not part of this lawsuit.
Underlying performance remains solid
The strong Swedish krona has had a major negative impact on earnings during the year, compared with the prior year, which was also evident in the fourth quarter. If you exclude legal costs, negative effect of exchange rate fluctuations and transaction costs, the underlying performance with an improved gross margin was solid. Operating profit amounted to SEK 47m (62) this quarter and operating cash flow decreased to SEK 52m (87). Looking at the entire year, the operating profit amounted to SEK 156m (174), and the operating margin was 29 percent (36). Excluding legal costs and exchange rate effects, the underlying performance was solid. The operating cash flow for the year was SEK 148m (142).
The Board of Directors proposes a dividend of SEK 2.50 (6.50) per share for 2025, corresponding to 55 percent of net earnings for the year and well in line with our long-term target.
Koroyd - exciting complementary acquisition
In December, we acquired all the shares of Koroyd. The company offers solutions for improved impact absorption in various types of protective products and had a turnover of approximately SEK 120m in the last financial year.
Koroyd's main business is currently in helmets, but has recently also launched products in related categories such as body protection, protective gloves and footwear. Koroyd shares many similarities with Mips, particularly in terms of its business model, organization and culture and, like Mips, has historically invested heavily in research and development to ensure that it is at the forefront of its business areas. We are confident that Koroyd and the 30 new colleagues we are welcoming to the Group will contribute to a continued increase in both net sales and profits for the Group.
Mikaela Shiffrin joins us as a Mips ambassador
We are continuing our proactive long-term marketing efforts centered on working with our customers and ambassadors to raise awareness of helmet safety and what Mips' solutions entail. The common denominator shared by the individuals in our team of athletes, "Team Mips", is that they are all leaders in their respective sports and that they share Mips' commitment to and passion for safety. We are delighted to welcome the most successful Alpine skier in history, Mikaela Shiffrin, as a Mips ambassador. Mikaela will be an important part of our continued efforts to raise global awareness of Mips.
{3}------------------------------------------------
Helmet category Sports - good performance with an increased presence in the European market
In the Sports category, we achieved organic growth of 17 percent in the quarter, for the full year we achieved 20 percent organic growth. The positive trend in the bike sub-category has continued during the quarter, which is our ninth consecutive quarter of growth in the important bike market. Growth is still being driven by the European market. It is also positive to see that we continue to perform well and increase our market share in the important US market, despite a challenging consumer market in this region.
Developments in the snow sub-category have been erratic during the year, and we are therefore pleased that we saw a good performance both in the last quarter and for the year as a whole. The European market has had a good start to the season, especially when it comes to the allimportant Christmas sales, while the US market has had a slightly weaker season so far.
Helmet category Motorcycle - good end of the year
Organic sales in the Motorcycle category increased to 32 percent in the quarter. For the year as a whole, this category grew organically by 22 percent. During the year, the category has performed well despite the major impact of US tariffs, particularly in the second quarter. Looking ahead, we see great opportunities for continued positive developments in this category both through innovation and through a further rise in the awareness of Mips within this category.
Helmet category Safety - well positioned for ongoing growth
In the Safety category, we achieved a 41 percent increase in organic sales this quarter. For the year as a whole, this category grew organically by 42 percent. The US tariffs have undoubtedly been a significant negative factor during the year. Now that the tariff situation seems to have normalized, our assessment is that the share of customer's helmet models that are equipped with Mips' safety system will once again increase and that our solid growth rate in this category will continue going forward.
At the beginning of the quarter, we participated in A+A, the world's largest trade fair for occupational health and safety, with our Mips trailer, which is part of our new trade fair concept. This event is held every other year and attracts a large number of global participants. There was significant interest in Mips during the trade fair, from both industry players and end-users, confirming that we are on the right track in this category.
Exciting opportunities in 2026
2025 was the year when Mips truly established itself in the European market, a significant building block of our long-term growth strategy. During the year, we grew organically in Europe by more than 50 percent, and the European share of total Group sales was 43 percent.
Another important element of the long-term strategy where we have made significant progress during the year is the broadening of our product portfolio to better address several areas of helmet safety. In this regard we see the acquisition of Koroyd as an important step. The acquisition complements Mips' current business and gives us access to interesting adjacent product areas.
Rapid growth in the Safety helmet category is a third strategic initiative where we have achieved success, despite the negative impact of the major tariff challenges during the year.
Further important strategic steps towards a more sustainable business have also been taken. I am particularly proud that we have reduced our emissions by 49 percent compared to the 2021 reference year, and that 34 percent of the material used in the products we sold in 2025 was recycled.
We continue to grow in all our categories, gaining market share and strengthening our market position. Our innovation pipeline is bigger than ever, and with the acquisition of Koroyd we have the opportunity to become even more relevant to our customers, as well as enter completely new areas for Mips. With this in mind, I look forward to what 2026 has to offer, even in these still uncertain times.

Financial performance
October – December Net sales
Net sales for the fourth quarter increased to SEK 147m (144), an increase of 2 percent. The organic sales growth amounted to 18 percent. The increase in net sales is mainly explained by the positive development in the sub-category bike. As of 31 December 2025, Koroyd has been consolidated and has therefore not contributed to any results during 2025.
Changes in net sales
| % | Oct-Dec 2025 |
Jan-Dec 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Organic growth | 18 | 21 |
| Change in exchange rates |
-15 | -10 |
| Total | 2 | 10 |
Gross profit
Gross profit increased by 2 percent to SEK 107m (105). The gross margin amounted to 72.9 percent (72.9).
Operating profit (EBIT)
Operating profit decreased by 24 percent to SEK 47m (62), corresponding to an operating margin of 31.8 percent (42.9). The decrease in operating profit is mainly explained by legal costs described below, the negative effect of exchange rate fluctuations, and transaction costs related to the acquisition of Koroyd. Operating profit adjusted for items affecting comparability amounted to SEK 51m (62) and operating margin adjusted for items affecting comparability to 34.9 percent (42.9). Items affecting comparability consist of acquisition costs amounting to SEK 5m.
Selling expenses amounted to SEK 21m (20). Administrative expenses amounted to SEK 25m (15) during the quarter, where the increase was mainly due to legal costs of SEK 7m and transaction costs related to the acquisition of Koroyd of SEK 5m. The legal costs are due to a patent-related dispute which one of Mips' US customers is a party to. Mips is not a party to the suit, but since the suit concerns areas where Mips has intellectual property rights, being an important cornerstone of our brand strength, Mips has chosen to engage. Mips will therefore continue to support its customer in their defense in 2026, similar to how Mips have acted in 2025, to best serve its customers' interests, as well as its own. Mips' own intellectual property rights are not part of this suit. Research and development costs amounted to SEK 11m (10).
Profit for the period and earnings per share
Profit before tax amounted to SEK 48m (69). Tax expenses for the quarter amounted to SEK -12m (-17), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 26.1 percent (23.9). The increase in effective tax rate is partly explained by withholding tax on dividend received by the
subsidiary in China during the quarter. Profit for the period was SEK 35m (53). Diluted earnings per share amounted to SEK 1.33 (1.99).
Cash flow
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 52m (87). The change is mainly explained by decreased earnings and previous year's repaid preliminary tax.
Cash flow from investing activities was SEK -415m (-4), where the change mainly is attributable to the acquisition of the subsidiary Koroyd of SEK -412m. Cash flow from financing activities was SEK 299m (-1), the increase is explained by an obtained loan of SEK 300m to finance the acquisition of Koroyd.
Cash flow for the period amounted to SEK -64m (81).
January – December Net sales
Net sales for the full year amounted to SEK 533m (483), an increase by 10 percent. The organic sales growth was 21 percent. The increase in net sales is mainly explained by higher sales within the bike sub-category.
Gross profit
Gross profit increased by 12 percent to SEK 391m (350). The gross margin amounted to 73.4 percent (72.5) where the increase mainly is an effect of increase in net sales.
Operating profit (EBIT)
Operating profit amounted to SEK 156m (174), corresponding to an operating margin of 29.2 percent (36.1). The decrease in operating profit is mainly explained by legal costs. Operating profit adjusted for items affecting comparability amounted to SEK 160m (174) and operating margin adjusted for items affecting comparability to 30.1 percent (36.1). Items affecting comparability consist of acquisition costs amounting to SEK 5m.
Selling expenses amounted to SEK 83m (77), mainly driven by strategic initiatives within marketing. Administrative expenses amounted to SEK 104m (60), where the increase was mainly due to legal costs of SEK 43m due to a patentrelated dispute which one of Mips' US customers is a party to. Mips is not a party to the suit, but since the suit concerns areas where Mips has intellectual property rights, being an important cornerstone of our brand strength, Mips has chosen to engage. Mips will therefore continue to support its customer in their defense in 2026, similar to how Mips have acted in 2025, to best serve its customers' interests, as well as its own. Mips' own intellectual property rights are not part of this suit. Research and development costs amounted to SEK 41m (39). Other operating income and expenses was positively affected by a revaluated non-current liability of SEK 9m but was mainly offset by negative exchange rate effects.

Furthermore, the Swedish Corporate Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups has been applied. This interim report for the Group was prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the applicable provisions of the Annual Accounts Act and the Securities Market Act. The interim report for the parent company has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Corporate Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities. Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34.16A are incorporated in the financial statements and their accompanying notes as well as in other parts of this interim report.
New accounting standards from 1 January 2025
The new or amended IFRS effective as of 2025 have not had any significant impact on the Group's financial statements.
Valuation basis applied when preparing the financial statements
Assets and liabilities are recognized at historical cost, except for currency derivatives, short-term investments and conditional additional purchase price which are based on fair value.
Functional currency and presentation currency
The parent company's functional currency is Swedish kronor (SEK), which is also the reporting currency for the Group. This means that the financial statements are presented in SEK. All amounts are, unless otherwise stated, rounded to the nearest SEKm.
Estimates in the financial statements
It is Mips' assessment that the Group does not have any assets or liabilities whose estimated reported value entails a significant risk for a material adjustment during the coming year.
Adjustments
Certain financial information presented in this report have been rounded and thus the tables do not necessarily tally.
Alternative performance measures
The company is following the European Securities and Markets Authority's (ESMA) guidelines on alternative performance measures. Alternative performance measures are financial measures that cannot be directly read in or derived from the financial statements. These financial measures are intended to help company management and investors analyze the Group's performance. Investors should not consider these alternative performance measures to be a substitute for the financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, but rather a supplement to them. Explanation of alternative performance measures see page 19-22.
Segment
Mips' operations are managed as one segment since this reflects the Group's operations, financial monitoring and management structure.
Seasonal variations
Mips' sales are partly subject to seasonal variations. The Group's net sales and operating profit have historically been weakest during the first quarter of the year and strongest during the fourth quarter. Mips has chosen to divide its business into three main helmet categories: Sports, Motorcycle, and Safety. The largest helmet category, Sports, mainly consists of the bike and snow sub-categories which follow certain seasonable patterns. The majority of Mips' sales in the bike sub-category takes place during the second half of the year when bike helmets are manufactured for the important spring and summer season. In the snow sub-category, the majority of Mips' sales takes place in the first half of the year so that helmets can be delivered for the winter season. Sales in the Motorcycle and Safety categories comprise a smaller proportion of Mips total sales, which is why no clear seasonal patterns are evident in these categories.
Risks and uncertainties
Mips is an international company and, as such, its operations can be affected by a number of risk factors in the form of both operating and financial risks. Risks related to the industry and the company include, but are not limited to, market acceptance and knowledge of both the harmful effects of rotational motion to the brain and increased competition. As an ingredient brand, Mips is also dependent upon its customers' ability to reach end-users and on end-user demand. An economic downturn or change in end-user's preferences could have a negative impact on the Group's net sales and profitability. The company is dependent on its intellectual property rights and technology and in certain cases the protection may be inadequate, or Mips may incur significant costs to protect its intellectual property rights which could have an adverse impact on the company's operations, earnings and/or financial position. Furthermore, the company is exposed to risks related to legal processes regarding product liability issues and other types of legal issues. Even though these risks are mitigated by insurance coverage, to the extent
{13}------------------------------------------------
possible, they could result in significant costs for the company.
Mips is also exposed to external factors and geopolitical uncertainty over which the company has no control, but which can have an adverse impact on future market developments. There is an evolving global trade landscape and a volatile macroeconomic situation. Mips still believes that long-term demand for the company's products is robust. Mips sells all products based on Incoterms Ex Works, which means that the buyer takes responsibility for transport costs, fees, taxes, tariffs and so on. Mips see continued risks in the supply chain that could lead to insolvency among the company's customers. If Mips' customers become insolvent, this could have a negative impact on the Group. Mips has continuously an active dialogue with its customers to be able to identify and react on any eventual insolvency situations at an early stage. The company has not noticed any payment issues with any of its customers that has materially affected the quarter. The company is following the development and relevant authorities' recommendations closely and are taking the measures deemed necessary to minimize the short-term and long-term impacts on Mips.
The company's executive management actively manages both operating and financial risks. The above statement applies for both the parent company and the Group.
For further information about Mips' risks and uncertainties see Mips' Annual and Sustainability report for 2024 on page 54-58.
Distribution of revenue
The company's revenue primarily comprises sales of component kits (license and components) to helmet manufacturers. Sales of services is attributable to the development of Mips' technology for a specific customer and helmet model. Revenues from services decreased during the year. The imposition of tariffs has meant that many of Mips' customers have started to look into helmet manufacturing in countries other than China. This has taken up a lot of the customers' internal development resources, and has limited their focus on product development of new and better products, which in turn has also decreased the inflow of new customer projects to Mips.

The company's revenue is concentrated to customers in North America and Europe. The substantial concentration of sales in North America is explained by the large number of helmet manufacturers based in this geographical region. Specification by region is based on customers' domicile and not distribution. Revenues increased during the fourth quarter with 2 percent mainly driven by North America with a growth of 12 percent and Europe with a growth of 14 percent.

Mips has chosen to divide its business into three main helmet categories. Thus, the company's revenues are distributed over these helmet categories. Revenues for the fourth quarter in Sports increased by 1 percent, adjusting for exchange rate effects the growth amounted to 17 percent. In Motorcycle revenues increased by 14 percent, adjusting for exchange rate effects the growth amounted to 32 percent. In Safety revenues increased by 22 percent, adjusting for exchange rate effects the growth amounted to 41 percent.
Currency exposure
Mips invoices its customers in two foreign currencies, USD and CNY.
The company's license fee, which represents the majority of the company's revenues, is invoiced in USD and fluctuations in the exchange rate have a significant impact on Mips' net sales and profitability. A 10 percent change in the USD exchange rate would impact EBIT with approximately +/- SEK 30m (31) on the full-year figures for 2025. From 2025 fluctuations in exchange rates fully affect the income statement. During 2024 Mips has applied hedge accounting, which was discontinued in October 2024.
Most of the company's sales of components are in China and are invoiced in CNY. However, since the company has both revenues and costs related to components in CNY, the exposure to the CNY exchange rate is relatively limited. For further information, see the company's Annual and Sustainability report for 2024 page 78.
As of December 18, Mips completed the acquisition of Koroyd who has EUR as currency, which means that the currency exposure in the Group will increase going forward.

{15}------------------------------------------------
Assets held for sale
Assets held for sale relate to a lease agreement in the acquired subsidiary Koroyd.
Derivatives, short-term investments and non-current liabilities
As of 31 December 2025, no derivatives remain in the Group. Hedge accounting has been applied previously, up until October 2024, whereby the unrealized change in fair value of the outstanding derivatives has primarily been recognized in Other comprehensive income. Financial instruments (derivatives) are valued at fair value on the balance sheet and belonged to level 2 and conditional additional purchase price belong to level 3 according to IFRS 13. Mips completed the acquisition of all shares in Koroyd the 18 December 2025. To finance the acquisition, Mips has obtained a loan of SEK 300m which has been reported as non-current liabilities to credit institutions. As of 31 December 2025, Mips has an other non-current liability amounting to SEK 250m which relates to the conditional additional purchase price for the acquisition of Koroyd. At the start of the year, Mips had a non-current liability regarding contingent additional purchase consideration of SEK 10m attributable to an asset acquisition in January 2022 regarding patent rights and certain other intellectual property rights which has been valued at accrued acquisition value. In June 2025, management have made the assessment that the criteria for the liability of the conditional additional purchase price is not completely fulfilled and therefore the liability has been completely revaluated to zero. The revaluation of SEK 9m has been reported as other operating income in the second quarter.
Other information/Investments in associated companies
Quintessential Design, Inc. ("Quin") is an associated company to Mips and are reported by use of the equity method. During the year a profit share of SEK -7m has been reported as other operating expenses.
Share capital and number of shares
As of 31 December 2025, the total registered number of shares amounted to 26,491,122 (26,491,122) and the share capital amounted to SEK 2,649,112 (2,649,112). All shares are ordinary shares and carry equal voting rights. The shares have a nominal value of SEK 0.10.
The number of outstanding shares as of 31 December 2025 was 26,491,122.
Dividend
Prior to the Annual General Meeting in April, the Board of Directors will propose a dividend of SEK 2.50 per share (6.50) for 2025, which corresponds to SEK 66m, based on the number of outstanding shares as per 31 December 2025. The proposed dividend corresponds to 55 percent of the Group's net earnings during the year.
Annual General Meeting
The 2026 Annual General Meeting will be held at Mips, Kemistvägen 1B, in Täby on 23 April 2026.
Share-based incentive programs
At the Annual General Meeting 2023, it was resolved to approve three long term incentive programs, Warrant program 2023/2026, Warrant program 2024/2027 and Warrant program 2025/2028, for the senior executives and certain key persons in Mips. In total, 429,000 warrants have been issued divided upon a maximum of 143,000 warrants per program. In the 2023/2026 program 82,100 warrants were allocated to the participants, in the 2024/2027 program 46,070 warrants were allocated to the participants and in the program 2025/2028, which was launched during the second quarter 2025, 23,000 warrants were allocated to the participants. The total number of issued warrants of 429,000 can lead to a dilution of approximately 1.6 percent. The subscription price in the first program amounts to SEK 396.27 per Mips share (before recalculation), in the second program it amounts to SEK 388.25 per Mips share (before recalculation) and in the third program it amounts to SEK 538.23 per Mips share. Each warrant entitles to subscription of one new share in the company. The exercise price and number of shares shall be recalculated based on, among other things, paid dividend in accordance with the terms and conditions for the warrants. In the first program the exercise price after paid dividend is SEK 384.67. In the second program the exercise price after paid dividend is SEK 376.88. As the third program started after paid dividend in 2025, there is no recalculation of the exercise price this year.

Business acquisitions
On 18 December 2025, Mips acquired all shares in Koroyd SARL and SCP George TFE (together "Koroyd") a pioneer in the development of advanced impact protection technology for head and body safety. During the financial year 2024/2025, Koroyd had sales of approximately EUR 11m with an adjusted EBITDA of approximately EUR 5m.
The purchase price for the acquisition amounted to SEK 682m (excluding transaction costs), of which SEK 569m were allocated to goodwill and SEK 120m to trademarks, and SEK 25m recognized as a deferred tax liability. The purchase price consists of a cash payment of SEK 430m and a contingent consideration of SEK 273m (discounted value SEK 252m). Whether the contingent considerations will become payable depends on the results achieved in the acquired company. At the acquisition date, it was estimated that the maximum contingent consideration would become payable and therefore, the consideration was recognized in full.
Transaction costs for the acquisition above has affected the Group's results by SEK 5m and is reported as part of the Administrative expenses in the income statement. The goodwill of SEK 569m that arose in connection with the acquisition relate primarily to expected future sales development and profitability as well as the knowledge and skills of the staff in the acquired entities. The goodwill will be subject to impairment testing annually.
Below is the preliminary impact of the acquisitions on the Mips Group's balance sheet on the acquisition date, 18 December 2025.

Koroyd has been consolidated as a part of Mips balance sheet from 31 December 2025 and has not contributed to any results to Mips during 2025. Starting 1 January 2026, full consolidation will be reflected in the Group's results. Had the acquisition been completed on 1 January 2025, the impact on the Group's results excluding transaction costs for the period 1 January to 31 December would have been approximately SEK 120m on consolidated net sales and about SEK 35m on operating profit. During the year, adjusted EBITDA amounted to about 55 MSEK. The operating profit has been affected by additional remuneration to the former owners which are not to be seen as costs belonging to the operating activities.

Financial Instruments
Fair values on financial instruments
The fair value and carrying amount are recognized in the balance sheet as shown in the table below. For quoted securities, the fair value is determined on the basis of the asset's quoted price in an active market, level 1. At the reporting date the Group had no items in this category. For currency contracts and embedded derivatives, the fair value is determined on the basis of observable market data, level 2. At the reporting date the Group had no items in this category. For contingent considerations, a cash flow-based valuation is performed, which is not based on observable market data, level 3. For the Group's other financial assets and liabilities, fair value is estimated to essentially correspond to the carrying amount.

Explanation of alternative performance measures
Organic net sales growth
Since Mips invoices its goods and services in USD and CNY at the same time as the accounting currency is SEK, it is essential to create an understanding of how the company performs excluding currency exchange effects when recalculating sales. This key figure is expressed in percentage points of the previous year's net sales, a high change in sales in local currency consequently leads to a greater currency impact. For net sales growth, impact of foreign currencies and acquisition related effects on net sales, see below.
| Organic net sales growth | Oct-Dec 2025 |

During 2025, adjustments have been made with respect to effects (costs) related to acquisitions, which have been deemed to affect comparability. There were no items affecting comparability during 2024. To create a good understanding of Mips' ongoing operations and how the operating profit had been without these items, the company has chosen to show an adjusted operating profit which excludes the items affecting comparability.
