"The start of the year confirms our ability to deliver strong results even when facing short-term challenges, thanks to our broad offering and ability to meet customer needs. We are well prepared to capture future opportunities and deliver on our targets."
The year has started off with good overall performance in order intake, net sales and profitability, supported by solid execution across our business. This was largely driven by continued robust net sales and earnings development in our two business areas DCT and FoodTech. As expected, order intake declined in business area AirTech where we initiated measures last year to improve margins. We remain positive about the long-term structural trends driving growth for Munters, such as increased data traffic, the electrification of society, and the global need for more sustainable food production. We are closely monitoring the increasingly uncertain macro environment and global discussions around trade tariffs. Our conclusion about trade tariffs is that our well-established strategy of regional production can provide us with competitive advantages and resilience.
DCT recorded one of its highest-ever first-quarter order intake, driven by small and mid-sized orders. The pipeline remains healthy, supported by steady demand across a broad range of customer segments in the data center market. The strong performance in DCT is driven by our broad and competitive product portfolio which enables us to meet a wide range of customer needs.
Within FoodTech, we announced the sale of the Equipment business during the quarter, which is expected to close in the second quarter. The divestment marks a strategic shift in our focus towards a digital offering centered around software and control systems. In line with our strategic focus, we also announced the acquisition of the remaining shares in MTech Systems, following the completion of the previously communicated transaction with minority shareholders. The continuing business in FoodTech experienced high demand and several new customer agreements were signed, further strengthening our market position.
As anticipated, AirTech had a softer start to the year, due to continued weakness in the battery market weighing on utilization and profitability. Margin improvement remains a priority, and our actions taken in late 2024 are expected to support a gradual improvement during the year. Short-term, profitability is also negatively impacted by the temporary situation with dual site operations in Amesbury in the US. We expect this situation to ease as the transition to our new, more efficient facility progresses in the second quarter. We expect the battery market to remain weak throughout 2025, although we see increased activity in some areas. Over the long term, we remain confident in the potential of this segment and we are now better positioned to scale efficiently as the market recovers.
We are intensifying efforts within AirTech to grow our services and component business. We are also strengthening our focus on key customer segments such as the food industry. We continue to invest selectively, including the recently announced expansion and optimization of our Tobo factory in Sweden. This includes regionalizing the production of the humidification medium GLASdek, a component previously only manufactured in Mexico.
Today, with extensive global discussions about trade tariffs, regional production is becoming increasingly important. At Munters, this has long been a strategic cornerstone. Approximately 90 percent of sales in our largest regions are produced within the same region, thereby supporting customer proximity, reduced lead times and greater resilience.
We continue to focus on execution and operational efficiency across the Group while closely monitoring the development of the global business environment. With the strong momentum in DCT and FoodTech, along with margin enhancing actions underway in AirTech, we are well positioned for the year ahead. I would like to thank all Munters employees for their continued commitment and contribution. Together, we are well prepared to capture future opportunities and deliver on our targets.

Order intake amounted to MSEK 3,556 (2,795), (organic development of +8%, structural +19%, currency effects +1%), with strong growth in DCT and FoodTech offset by a decline in AirTech.
In AirTech order intake declined, mainly due to EMEA, while Americas saw positive development and APAC remained stable. The overall order intake level remained solid, reflecting continued weakness in the battery subsegment across all regions. Order intake in DCT increased strongly, primarily driven by strong demand for chillers and Coolant Distribution Units (CDU). Growth was particularly robust in Americas, with a solid level of orders from both colocators and hyperscalers, indicating a continued strong underlying demand. In FoodTech order intake increased, mainly driven by strong development in the controllers with growth in all regions, supported by acquisitions last year.
For more information on the order intake, see the business area comments on pages 6, 7 and 8.
Net sales increased to MSEK 3,714 (3,154) (organic growth +5%, structural +11%, currency effects +2%), driven by robust growth in DCT and FoodTech, while AirTech showed a decline.
In AirTech, net sales declined, driven by lower sales in Americas, particularly within the battery sub-segment and the Service segment, partly offset by solid growth in EMEA and APAC. Net sales in DCT increased, driven by successful backlog execution in Americas and growth in EMEA and APAC, supported by the recent Geoclima acquisition finalized at the end of last year. In FoodTech net sales also grew, driven by positive developments in both software and controllers, with additional contribution from the Hotraco acquisition, finalized at the end of 2024.
Munters has an ambition to reach a Service and Components level of more than one third of net sales in the long-term. Service is defined as after-market service plus Software-as-a-Service (Saas) revenues. Service and Components amounted to 22% (30) of net sales, with an organic development of -14%. Service accounted for 14% (19) of total net sales with an organic growth of -17%.
For more information on the net sales, see the business area comments on pages 6, 7 and 8.

Adjusted EBITDA and EBITA excludes Items Affecting Comparability, IAC, see page 17 for disclosure of the IACs.
The gross margin amounted to 32.9% (34.5).
Adjusted EBITDA amounted to MSEK 615 (543), corresponding to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 16.6% (17.2). Depreciation of tangible assets amounted to MSEK -113 (-70), whereof depreciation of leased assets was MSEK -70 (-37).
Adjusted EBITA amounted to MSEK 502 (473), corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 13.5% (15.0). The margin decline in AirTech was mainly driven by lower volumes in Americas—particularly in the battery subsegment and Service—resulting in reduced production utilization. Additional pressure came from product and regional mix as well as ongoing investments, including temporary dual-site costs in the US. Cost-saving measures are progressing as planned, with gradual margin improvements expected. DCT delivered a strong adjusted EBITA margin, supported by robust volume growth primarily in Americas, high production utilization, a favorable product mix, and continued benefits from lean initiatives. FoodTech's adjusted EBITA margin declined, though remaining at a healthy level, impacted by product mix and growth investments, partly offset by higher sales in software and controllers.
Operating profit (EBIT) was MSEK 385 (418), corresponding to an operating margin of 10.4% (13.2). Amortization of intangible assets were MSEK -74 (-36), where MSEK -21 (-9) related to amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions.
For more information on the results, see the business area comments on pages 6, 7 and 8.
In the first quarter items affecting comparability totaled MSEK -42 (-20), related to costs for M&A activities.
Financial income and expenses for the first quarter amounted to MSEK -105 (-87). Compared to same period last year the increase in interest expense was primarily driven by higher lease liabilities related to the new facility in Amesbury, US, partly offset by lower interest rates.
Income taxes for the first quarter were MSEK -82 (-97) with an effective tax rate of 29% (29%).
Net income from continuing operations attributable to Parent Company's shareholders amounted to MSEK 193 (223) in the first quarter. Net income from continuing operations in the first quarter decreased to MSEK 198 (233).
Earnings per share from continuing operations was SEK 1.05 (1.22) in the first quarter.

Net debt as of March 31 amounted to MSEK 7,674 compared to MSEK 6,364 at the end of December 2024. Leverage was 3.1x compared to 2.6x at end of December 2024. During the quarter an agreement was signed to divest the FoodTech Equipment offering for MEUR 97.5, adjusted for the anticipated purchase price, Leverage was 2.6x as of March 31, 2025.
Interest-bearing liabilities, including lease liabilities, increased to MSEK 8,816 compared to MSEK 7,597 at the end of December 2024. The increase is driven mainly from increased lease liabilities as well as the acquisition of the outstanding shares in MTech Systems (for more information see pages 17-18).
The Group's interest-bearing liabilities have an average maturity of 1.4 years compared to 1.6 years at the end of December 2024.
Cash and cash equivalents amounted to MSEK 1,439 compared to MSEK 1,530 at the end of December 2024.
Average capital employed for the last twelve months amounted to MSEK 13,256 (11,903). Return on capital employed (ROCE) for the last twelve months was 13.3% (13.8%). The decrease compared to last year is explained by an increase in capital employed mainly due to acquisitions and new leases.
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to MSEK 545 (553) in the first quarter, whereof MSEK 4 (42) related to discontinued operations. Changes in working capital contributed with a positive impact of MSEK 111 (190), mainly explained by an increase in advances from customers driven by DCT in the US. Taxes paid were MSEK -37 (-106). The decrease is explained by the due date for US tax prepayments being moved from Q1 in last year to Q2 in 2025.
Cash flow from investing activities totaled MSEK -1,075 (-232), whereof MSEK -7 (-3) related to discontinued operations. Business acquisitions amounted to MSEK -809 (-) relating to the acquisition of the outstanding shares in MTech Systems (for more information see page 16). Investments in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment amounted to MSEK -260 (-170). The increase in capital expenditures is explained by investments in the new AirTech facility in Amesbury, US.
The parent company for the Group is Munters Group AB. The parent company does not engage in sales of goods and services to external customers. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to MSEK 0 (3).

The Corporate function reported an adjusted EBITA of MSEK 3 (-49) in the first quarter.
The rollout of a new global software system, initiated end of 2024, has progressed in 2025. The system is managed by Corporate functions, with costs including amortization allocated to the Business Areas in accordance with the rollout plan. As more subsidiaries implemented the system in 2025, the corporate charge increased, improving EBITA in Corporate functions. EBITA in the quarter is positively impacted by exchange rate differences from translation of a non-current contract for software licenses, denominated in Euro.

This report has been prepared, with regards to the Group, in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, recommendation RFR 1 of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and, with regards to the Parent Company, in accordance with recommendation RFR 2 of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The accounting principles applied correspond to those presented in the Annual- and Sustainability report 2024 (Note 1).
As of the first quarter of 2025, Munters classify the financial reporting of the Equipment offering as held for sale and as discontinued operations, meaning that assets and liabilities related to Equipment are presented on separate lines in the balance sheet. In the income statement, the profit/loss after tax for the period from discontinued operations, including IACs, is reported on a separate line. The income statement is adjusted for comparative periods as though the discontinued operation had already been classified as discontinued operations at the beginning of the comparative periods. Internal balances and transactions between continuing and discontinued operations have been eliminated. See Assets held for sale and discontinued operations for further information.
The cash flow from discontinued operations has been separated from cash flow from continuing operations and reported on separate lines within cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities in the current period and comparative periods.
No new and revised standards and interpretations effective from January 1, 2025, are considered to have any material impact on the financial statements.
As from 2025, the definition of SaaS ARR has been updated from being calculated as SaaS Recurring Revenue in the last quarter multiplied by 4, to being calculated as SaaS Recurring Revenue in the last month of the period multiplied by 12. The updated definition has no significant impact on the ARR presented.
Munters products and operations affect people and the external environment to a varying extent throughout the value chain. Munters environmental footprint from operations mainly derives from the handling of chemicals and waste, transport of input goods and finished products to and from Munters factories. The use of sold products is identified as the major source of climate impact and Munters is committed to constant vigilance regarding the environmental impact of its operations and reduce climate impact throughout the lifetime of the products. Munters is committed to complying with all laws and to continuously promoting improvements in all Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) aspects, wherever Munters conducts business. We constantly seek opportunities to reduce risk and to create a safer, healthier and more diverse workplace for our employees, customers, communities, and the overall environment. Munters manufacturing facilities all over the world are committed to working according to an EHS Management Program. The purpose of the EHS Management Program is to ensure regulatory compliance, actively prevent injuries, and reduce the impact that our business has on the environment.
Munters is a global company. Our global presence enhances Munters resilience against local disruptions while simultaneously exposing the company to various risks associated with cultural, legal, political, and climate-related differences worldwide. The Group's significant risks and uncertainties can be divided into five categories; strategic, market, operational, financial and regulatory risks. In these categories, there are both risks due to political and macroeconomic trends and specific risks directly linked to the Group. A strategic risk assessment is carried out on an annual basis and the purpose is to identify and manage the most important risks that threaten our strategic goal.
Given the heightening uncertainty driven by a shifting evolving political risk landscape, particularly the threat of new tariffs and changes in trade policies that elevate market risk, it is essential for Munters to remain agile
and review its strategy. Flexibility across both the value chain and production is key to mitigating the impact of unforeseen disruptions.
Munters products are used in complex customer processes. Quality and contract obligations are critical and could result in claims for damages. The Group depends to some extent on key customers and key personnel. Considering that Munters is a company with geographically widespread operations and many small organizational units, there is a risk of failure to comply with relevant regulations in the business ethics area, e.g. antibribery rules. In addition, due to Munters presence in multiple geographical locations, the Group is also exposed to climate-related risks, such as extreme weather events, regulatory changes, and supply chain disruptions.
Financial risks mainly consist of currency, interest and financing risks. Munters works actively with insurance solutions, and group-wide insurances are governed by central guidelines. This includes for example coverage for general liability and product liability, property, business interruption, transportation, the liability of Board members and the CEO and employment practices liabilities.
A more detailed description of the Group's risks and how they are managed can be found in the Annual- and Sustainability report 2024 on pages 56- 59.
There have been no significant transactions with related parties during the period.
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit/loss relate to financial investments and derivatives. Financial investments amounted to MSEK 164 (89) and net derivatives to MSEK -70 (14) as of the balance sheet date.

The remaining 20% of the transaction price is considered contingent consideration and will be expensed over the next 12 months.

The Group presents certain financial metrics in the Interim Report that are not defined in accordance with IFRS. The Group is of the opinion that these metrics provide valuable complementary information, in that they enable an evaluation of the Group's performance. The financial metrics are calculated in accordance with the definitions presented in this interim report. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITA is found in the quarterly overview on page 11. Items affecting comparability are events
or transactions with significant financial effects, which are relevant for the understanding of the financial performance when comparing the current period to previous periods. Items included are for example, restructuring activities, capital gains and losses from business divestments and M&A related costs.
Below is a break-down of items affecting comparability by period.

In February 2025, Munters signed an agreement to divest the FoodTech Equipment offering ("FT Equipment") to Grain & Protein Technologies for MEUR 97.5 on a cash and debt free basis. The divestment is anticipated to close in Q2, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
The divestment includes five production facilities across Italy, Germany, China and US, one assembly hub in South Africa and three sales offices. Approximately 400 employees operating across Europe, North America, Middle East and Southeast Asia are part of this business, which manufactures and sells ventilation equipment for customers within
livestock farming and greenhouses. The FoodTech Equipment offering includes fans, ventilation and cooling systems as well as production of CELdek (evaporative cooling pads). Production and sales of the CELdek product line in Americas is excluded from the divestment and has been integrated into the business area AirTech.
As from the first quarter of 2025, Munters classify the financial reporting of FT Equipment as held for sale and discontinued operations. See Accounting policies for further information about the impacts to the financial reports from the reclassification.

In this financial report, there are references to several performance measures. Some of the measures are defined in IFRS, others are alternative performance measures and are not disclosed in accordance with applicable financial reporting frameworks or other legislations. The performance measures are used by the Group to assist both investors and management in analyzing Munters' business. Below the performance measures found in this financial report are described and defined. The reason for the use of the performance measure is also disclosed.

Munters believes that using adjusted EBITA is helpful in analyzing our performance as it removes the impact of items considered not to be of recurring character and therefore do not reflect our core operating performance.
