MESSAGE FROM THE CEO Positive order intake, but weak USD created headwind

The increase in order intake from the first quarter continued into the second quarter. Year-on-year, order intake in the quarter improved organically by a healthy 8 per cent in USD, which is the main trading currency. Including acquisitions, order intake grew in USD by a full 16 per cent. The weaker US dollar however impacted Net sales and result negatively when translated into SEK. The net effect on gross profit was minus SEK 27 million and it affected EBITA by minus SEK 17 million.

It was a very eventful quarter due to the new US administration's radical departure from previous trade policy. The trade war led to increased uncertainty and cautious behaviour in several markets, but most clearly in the USA.

The earnings trend in North America was good, linked to growth in net sales. Order intake during the quarter was weaker, partly because of the timing of larger orders, that this year came in during the first quarter. There was also some hesitance in the market because of new and changed tariffs. During the quarter, our new business system was implemented in the USA.

In Nordic, the positive order intake trend continued. Order intake grew by as much as 15 per cent despite the negative impact of the USD, while net sales increased by a more modest 4 per cent. In the quarter, currency revaluations and product mix had a negative impact on gross margin compared with the year-earlier period.

Europe continued to be impacted by the weak economy, despite the downturn bottoming out and a slight improvement being visible in order intake in some markets. In USD, order intake increased organically by 8 per cent. However, the uncertainty linked to the trade war with the USA is impeding any acceleration in demand. Nevertheless, it is positive to note that progress has been made in the aerospace focus area in terms of articles won.

East remains stable, although the effect of the weakening USD has adversely impacted figures in SEK. Order intake increased 12 per cent in USD and we are leveraging our strong factory base in high-tech.

Looking ahead, we are positive about opportunities to gain market share, both organically and through further acquisitions. The acquisition of B&B Leiterplattenservice in eastern Germany was finalised during the quarter, which will help to strengthen NCAB's position in the market and contribute additional expertise. With our strong balance sheet and active pipeline, we look forward to completing additional acquisitions.

In today's turbulent world, NCAB is a stable supplier with a local and global footprint, in both sales and purchasing. Our proactive efforts to develop a global, diverse and validated supplier base offers our customers security, stability and a high level of service as well as alternative production countries where required.

"We are well positioned during these turbulent times to take market share"

APRIL–JUNE 2025

ORDER INTAKE

Order intake for the quarter amounted to SEK 985.0 million (937.8), an increase of 5 per cent compared with the corresponding quarter in 2024 and in USD order intake increased 16 per cent. Order intake for comparable units was on par with the year-earlier period in SEK but increased 8 per cent in USD. Book to bill was 1.05.

The picture was quite mixed between our segments, with the strongest growth now in Nordic and Europe, while North America was more cautious. In Nordic, order intake increased 15 per cent yearon-year. In Europe, order intake increased 12 per cent year-on-year, though for comparable units the decrease was 3 per cent in SEK but an increase of 8 per cent in USD. In North America, order intake decreased 18 per cent year-on-year. Order intake for East, which is the smallest segment, was 3 per cent higher year-on-year. The price level of PCBs remained stable during the period. However, rising material prices led to price increases being introduced in conjunction with new business.

NET SALES

Net sales decreased marginally during the quarter to SEK 934.0 million (935.1). However, in USD the increase was 10 per cent. The increase was mainly in the North America segment, with lower growth rates in Nordic and East. Europe still posted a slightly weaker performance. Compared with the previous year, lower prices had a negative impact on net sales for the quarter. Net sales for comparable units decreased 7 per cent in SEK but increased 3 per cent in USD.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit was SEK 327.4 million (355.3). During the quarter, NCAB was affected by lower prices, increased freight cost and currency effects, which yielded a gross margin of 35.1 per cent (38.0).

EARNINGS

EBITA for the quarter amounted to SEK 93.9 million (120.4). The EBITA margin was 10.0 per cent (12.9). Earnings were charged with SEK 9.6 million (13.0) in development costs for new IT systems. Operating profit for the quarter decreased to SEK 78.3 million (105.5). Freight costs increased yearon-year.

Net financial items amounted to -23.2 million (-15.9) and interest expenses excluding IFRS 16 decreased to SEK -14.9 million (-19.7), while foreign currency conversion rates generated foreign exchange losses of SEK 8.7 million (+3.6). Tax amounted to -14.6 million (-16.1). The average tax rate was 26.5 per cent (18.0). Profit after tax for the period totalled SEK 40.5 million (73.5). Earnings per share was SEK 0.22 (0.39) both before as well as after dilution.

EXCHANGE RATE IMPACTS

The net sales were negatively impacted by the lower USD by minus SEK 90 million. The translation impact of lower USD exchange rate negatively impacted gross profit by SEK 32 million. However, it does not impact the gross margin percentage since invoicing and material costs are linked to USD. The revaluation of AP/AR during the quarter impacted gross profit by positive SEK 5 million. Translational FX impact to SG&A was SEK +10 million, which gives a total FX impact for the period on EBITA of negative SEK 17 million.

ORDER INTAKE

During the first half of the year, order intake gained momentum again. In the previously very weak countries in Europe, such as Germany and Italy, a slight improvement can now be seen although they remain at a weak level. Inventory levels at customers now appear to have reduced to a more normal level and the number of new articles has increased, although still at modest volumes. Order intake for the period amounted to SEK 1,998.7 million (1,907.5). In USD, order intake increased 9 per cent. For comparable units, order intake decreased 2 per cent in SEK but increased 1 per cent in USD.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for the first half of the year was SEK 659.5 million (717.0). In the first half of the year, the total gross margin decreased to 34.9 per cent (38.0). The gross margin was exceptionally high in early 2024.

EXCHANGE RATE IMPACTS

Compared to the prior period, total translational FX impacted gross profit negatively by SEK 22 million, of which revaluation of AR/AP was SEK -4 million. Translational FX impact to SG&A was positive SEK 7 million, which gives a total FX impact for the period of negative SEK 15 million on EBITA.

Other

SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Through its operations, the Group is exposed to risks of both a financial and an operational nature, which the Group can influence to a greater or lesser extent. Continuous processes are in place in the Group to identify any risks and assess how they should be managed.

Operational risks include commercial risks arising from changes in economic activity and demand as well as customer preferences and relationships to the company. Other risks are related to the production capabilities, capacity and order books of the company's manufacturers, and to the availability and prices of raw materials. The company is also dependent on the continued trust of its employees and its ability to recruit skilled employees.

Regarding financial risks, the Group is exposed to currency risk, primarily the exchange rates between USD, EUR and SEK, through the translation exposure of sales and purchase ledgers, and reported assets, liabilities and net investments in the operations. The Group is also exposed to other risks, such as interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

There are also geopolitical risks, for example as a result of the large share of factories used by NCAB being located in China. While tariffs and trade barriers present a potential risk to the business, the substantial global production capacity in Asia and the limited availability in other regions have so far limited the impact to NCAB. See NCAB's 2024 Annual Report for a more detailed description of the Group's risk exposure and risk management.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING AND AFTER THE QUARTER

• On 23 April, an agreement was signed to acquire 100% of the shares in B&B Leiterplattenservice GmbH in Germany.
• On 24 April, the Board of Directors of NCAB decided to withdraw the previously announced dividend proposal ahead of the Annual General Meeting.

Notes

Note 1 Accounting policies

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The financial statements of the Parent Company have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and Recommendation RFR 2 Financial Reporting for Legal Entities of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board.

The applied accounting policies are consistent with the policies described in the annual report for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 and should be read in conjunction with these. None of the new IFRS standards, amended standards and interpretations that are applicable as of 1 January 2025 have had any material impact on the financial statements of the Group or the Parent Company. No new or amended standards have been applied prospectively.

Segments are accounted for in a way that is consistent with the internal reports submitted to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker is the function that is responsible for allocating resources and assessing the results of segments. In the Group, this function has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who makes strategic decisions. The Group's operations are evaluated based on geography. The following four segments have been identified: Nordic, Europe, North America and East.

The interim financial information on pages 1–28 is an integral part of this financial report.

Significant estimates and judgements

For information on significant estimates and judgements made by management in preparing the consolidated financial statements, see Note 4 of the 2024 Annual Report.

Note 2 Information on financial assets and liabilities

For more information on financial assets and liabilities, see the 2024 Annual Report, Note 2. The Group's financial assets and liabilities are measured at amortised cost. There are temporary financial liabilities that are measured at fair value. For acquisitions, the purchase consideration may be determined based on future outcomes in the acquired company. The part of the consideration that is dependent on the future outcome of the acquired company is determined by earnings forecasts and is recognised at fair value. No change in the value took place in the period. The carrying amounts of the Group's financial assets and liabilities are deemed to approximate their fair values. All financial assets are recognised in the category "Financial assets measured at amortised cost". Most of the company's financial liabilities are recognised in the category "Other financial liabilities", and any additional purchase considerations are recognised at fair value.

Note 3 Pledged assets and contingent liabilities

The Group does not have any material pledged assets or contingent liabilities.
