Since EBITDA, which is one of Netel's covenantin existing loan agreements, does not take into account one-off writedowns of projects, the project write-downs described above meant that the company did not meet all loan conditions in existing financing agreements as of 30 September. After the end of the quarter, the company has received a waiver from existing lenders regarding the third quarter. A process in good faith is underway with lenders with a mutual intention to establish a new long-term financing before the end of the year. We have a good and forward-looking dialogue with our lenders who have received detailed information about our action and savings programmes.

Project business tends to fluctuate

Following the communication on 1 October, we have been asked how our business operates and why earnings fluctuate between quarters. It is important to understand that our income statement is based on percentage of completion where revenue and costs, and therefore margins, are divided across the timespan of the projects. Four times a year, we review all projects in detail and update our forecasts for the margins for the projects. It is on these occasions and before a project is ended that our earnings may be adjusted. The forecast adjustments have an immediate impact on the income statement through changed revenue recognition and if a write-down of, for example, 0.5 per cent on EBITA were to arise, it will at that point affect the previously reported results of the entire project, which can have major consequences in individual quarters even if the projects themselves have a profit margin that is in line with our financial goals.

Since we have a project-based business, our earnings and cash flow will continue to fluctuate between quarters, and it is important to view our performance over longer time periods in order to gain a fair view. The nature of our business also means that project management, risk control and uniform ways of working related to tendering, follow-ups and forecasts are of key importance to us. These are areas that have been – and continue to be – highly important to me and my Management Team since I assumed the role of CEO almost two years ago. Owing to this, we have increased the transparency of our subsidiaries, invested in reporting and governance tools and introduced new procedures for central review and approval of tenders. This work will be accelerated further in connection with the consolidation of subsidiaries within the Group.

Future outlook

Difficult, but necessary, decisions have been made, and we will have to make more such decisions. We have a clear plan to improve profitability and are completing the measures we have communicated and what we can influence ourselves. We are maintaining a high pace during the remainder of 2025 to win new great contracts, implement the savings programmes and drive our signed agreements to enter 2026 with better conditions. Through continued focus on consolidating our operations within the divisions and the Group, increased internal efficiency, improved processes and a strengthened financial position, we are preparing ourselves to face the future. In conclusion, I would like to thank all of our employees for their commitment, professionalism and support. Together, we can create value through our shared knowledge, good customer relationships and strong offerings.

Condensed consolidated financial performance

The Finnish operations are reported as discontinuing operations in this report. Earnings from Finnish operations have been excluded from the individual rows in the consolidated income statement and are recognised as net earnings in Net Income, discontinuing operations. For more information on the accounting policies and reporting of the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow for discontinuing operations, see the notes Reports of discontinuing operations. Comments in this report refer to continuing operations unless otherwise stated.

Net sales and adjusted EBITA margin, continuing operations

Third quarter

Continuing operations

Net sales

Net sales decreased 17.8 per cent to MSEK 654 (796) in the third quarter due to a continued high proportion of project starts in all divisions and lower volumes in Power in Sweden and Telecom in the UK. Volumes in the Infraservices and Telecom divisions were impacted by the Group's decision to focus on profitability in project procurements. Power in Norway continued to grow at a high rate during the quarter.

Order bookings remained healthy in the quarter and the order backlog increased 4.4 per cent to MSEK 3,840 (3,581). Netel's underlying markets are healthy and are driven by the strong megatrends of digitalisation, electrification and modernisation of critical infrastructure. At the end of the second quarter of 2025, the order backlog amounted to MSEK 4,091.

Exchange rate effects had a negative impact on net sales of 2.4 per cent.

Earnings

EBITDA amounted to MSEK -42 (52), with an EBITDA margin of -6.4 per cent (6.5). EBITA amounted to MSEK -59 (34), with an EBITA margin of -9.1 per cent (4.1). Profitability was mainly impacted by lower volumes and write-downs totalling MSEK -59 in projects in one company in Infraservices in Sweden, one company in Power in Sweden and the operations in the UK that were all acquired in 2021–2022.

Adjusted EBITDA amounted to MSEK -35 (63) in the quarter, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of -5.4 per cent (7.9). Adjusted EBITA amounted to MSEK -53 (45) and the margin amounted to -8.1 per cent (5.7).

Net income discontinuing operations amounted to MSEK 0 (2). Loss after tax including discontinuing operations amounted to MSEK -67 (9).

Cash flow and financial position

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to MSEK -44 (61). The decline was mainly the result of lower volumes and a continued high proportion of projects in start-up phases which initially means a higher tied-up capital. Including discontinuing operations, cash flow from operating activities amounted to MSEK -44 (47).

During the quarter, cash flow from investing activities for continuing operations was MSEK -3 (-40). Including discontinuing operations, cash flow from investing activities amounted to MSEK -3 (-40).

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to MSEK 150, compared to MSEK 162 at the start of the quarter. Unutilised credit facilities totalled MSEK 211 compared with MSEK 254 at the start of the period, which together with cash and cash equivalents means a total of MSEK 361 in available funds compared with MSEK 416 at the start of the period.

Net debt, which is defined as current and non-current interest-bearing liabilities from credit institutions less cash and cash equivalents and current investments, amounted to MSEK 862 at the end of the quarter compared with MSEK 881 at the start of the quarter. The leverage ratio calculated in accordance with the Group's financial target was a multiple of 6.3 at the end of the period, which is above the capital structure target in the medium term.

Current and non-current interest-bearing liabilities primarily comprise bank financing and lease liabilities. These commitments amounted to MSEK 1,124 at the end of the quarter compared with MSEK 1,043 at the start of the quarter. After the end of the quarter, the company has received a waiver from existing lenders regarding the third quarter, but as of 30 September, covenants in existing financing agreements were not met, which according to IFRS entails a reclassification of existing debt from long-term to short-term as of the balance sheet date. Dialogues and processes are ongoing with lenders for long-term financing before the end of the year.

Since EBITDA, which is one of Netel's covenantin existing loan agreements, does not take into account one-off writedowns of projects, the project write-downs described above meant that the company did not meet all loan conditions in existing financing agreements as of 30 September. After the end of the quarter, the company has received a waiver from existing lenders regarding the third quarter. A process in good faith is underway with lenders with a mutual intention to establish a new long-term financing before the end of the year. We have a good and forward-looking dialogue with our lenders who have received detailed information about our action and savings programmes.

Project business tends to fluctuate

Following the communication on 1 October, we have been asked how our business operates and why earnings fluctuate between quarters. It is important to understand that our income statement is based on percentage of completion where revenue and costs, and therefore margins, are divided across the timespan of the projects. Four times a year, we review all projects in detail and update our forecasts for the margins for the projects. It is on these occasions and before a project is ended that our earnings may be adjusted. The forecast adjustments have an immediate impact on the income statement through changed revenue recognition and if a write-down of, for example, 0.5 per cent on EBITA were to arise, it will at that point affect the previously reported results of the entire project, which can have major consequences in individual quarters even if the projects themselves have a profit margin that is in line with our financial goals.

Since we have a project-based business, our earnings and cash flow will continue to fluctuate between quarters, and it is important to view our performance over longer time periods in order to gain a fair view. The nature of our business also means that project management, risk control and uniform ways of working related to tendering, follow-ups and forecasts are of key importance to us. These are areas that have been – and continue to be – highly important to me and my Management Team since I assumed the role of CEO almost two years ago. Owing to this, we have increased the transparency of our subsidiaries, invested in reporting and governance tools and introduced new procedures for central review and approval of tenders. This work will be accelerated further in connection with the consolidation of subsidiaries within the Group.

Future outlook

Difficult, but necessary, decisions have been made, and we will have to make more such decisions. We have a clear plan to improve profitability and are completing the measures we have communicated and what we can influence ourselves. We are maintaining a high pace during the remainder of 2025 to win new great contracts, implement the savings programmes and drive our signed agreements to enter 2026 with better conditions. Through continued focus on consolidating our operations within the divisions and the Group, increased internal efficiency, improved processes and a strengthened financial position, we are preparing ourselves to face the future. In conclusion, I would like to thank all of our employees for their commitment, professionalism and support. Together, we can create value through our shared knowledge, good customer relationships and strong offerings.

Net sales and adjusted EBITA margin, continuing operations

Third quarter

Continuing operations

Net sales

Net sales decreased 17.8 per cent to MSEK 654 (796) in the third quarter due to a continued high proportion of project starts in all divisions and lower volumes in Power in Sweden and Telecom in the UK. Volumes in the Infraservices and Telecom divisions were impacted by the Group's decision to focus on profitability in project procurements. Power in Norway continued to grow at a high rate during the quarter.

Order bookings remained healthy in the quarter and the order backlog increased 4.4 per cent to MSEK 3,840 (3,581). Netel's underlying markets are healthy and are driven by the strong megatrends of digitalisation, electrification and modernisation of critical infrastructure. At the end of the second quarter of 2025, the order backlog amounted to MSEK 4,091.

Exchange rate effects had a negative impact on net sales of 2.4 per cent.

Earnings

EBITDA amounted to MSEK -42 (52), with an EBITDA margin of -6.4 per cent (6.5). EBITA amounted to MSEK -59 (34), with an EBITA margin of -9.1 per cent (4.1). Profitability was mainly impacted by lower volumes and write-downs totalling MSEK -59 in projects in one company in Infraservices in Sweden, one company in Power in Sweden and the operations in the UK that were all acquired in 2021–2022.

Adjusted EBITDA amounted to MSEK -35 (63) in the quarter, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of -5.4 per cent (7.9). Adjusted EBITA amounted to MSEK -53 (45) and the margin amounted to -8.1 per cent (5.7).

Loss after tax amounted to MSEK -67 (7). The tax expense for the period includes deferred tax on losses and amounted to MSEK 13 (-5), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 16 per cent (41). The tax for the period is affected by tax adjustments and by limitations on interest deductions in 2025, which reduces the deferred tax.

Net income discontinuing operations amounted to MSEK 0 (2). Loss after tax including discontinuing operations amounted to MSEK -67 (9).

Cash flow and financial position

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to MSEK -44 (61). The decline was mainly the result of lower volumes and a continued high proportion of projects in start-up phases which initially means a higher tied-up capital. Including discontinuing operations, cash flow from operating activities amounted to MSEK -44 (47).

During the quarter, cash flow from investing activities for continuing operations was MSEK -3 (-40). Including discontinuing operations, cash flow from investing activities amounted to MSEK -3 (-40).

Net debt, which is defined as current and non-current interest-bearing liabilities from credit institutions less cash and cash equivalents and current investments, amounted to MSEK 862 at the end of the quarter compared with MSEK 881 at the start of the quarter. The leverage ratio calculated in accordance with the Group's financial target was a multiple of 6.3 at the end of the period, which is above the capital structure target in the medium term.

Current and non-current interest-bearing liabilities primarily comprise bank financing and lease liabilities. These commitments amounted to MSEK 1,124 at the end of the quarter compared with MSEK 1,043 at the start of the quarter. After the end of the quarter, the company has received a waiver from existing lenders regarding the third quarter, but as of 30 September, covenants in existing financing agreements were not met, which according to IFRS entails a reclassification of existing debt from long-term to short-term as of the balance sheet date. Dialogues and processes are ongoing with lenders for long-term financing before the end of the year.

Total assets amounted to MSEK 2,831 compared with MSEK 2,808 at the start of the quarter and equity to MSEK 1,044 compared with MSEK 1,113 at the start of the quarter.

Since EBITDA, which is one of Netel's covenantin existing loan agreements, does not take into account one-off writedowns of projects, the project write-downs described above meant that the company did not meet all loan conditions in existing financing agreements as of 30 September. After the end of the quarter, the company has received a waiver from existing lenders regarding the third quarter. A process in good faith is underway with lenders with a mutual intention to establish a new long-term financing before the end of the year. We have a good and forward-looking dialogue with our lenders who have received detailed information about our action and savings programmes.

Project business tends to fluctuate

Following the communication on 1 October, we have been asked how our business operates and why earnings fluctuate between quarters. It is important to understand that our income statement is based on percentage of completion where revenue and costs, and therefore margins, are divided across the timespan of the projects. Four times a year, we review all projects in detail and update our forecasts for the margins for the projects. It is on these occasions and before a project is ended that our earnings may be adjusted. The forecast adjustments have an immediate impact on the income statement through changed revenue recognition and if a write-down of, for example, 0.5 per cent on EBITA were to arise, it will at that point affect the previously reported results of the entire project, which can have major consequences in individual quarters even if the projects themselves have a profit margin that is in line with our financial goals.

Since we have a project-based business, our earnings and cash flow will continue to fluctuate between quarters, and it is important to view our performance over longer time periods in order to gain a fair view. The nature of our business also means that project management, risk control and uniform ways of working related to tendering, follow-ups and forecasts are of key importance to us. These are areas that have been – and continue to be – highly important to me and my Management Team since I assumed the role of CEO almost two years ago. Owing to this, we have increased the transparency of our subsidiaries, invested in reporting and governance tools and introduced new procedures for central review and approval of tenders. This work will be accelerated further in connection with the consolidation of subsidiaries within the Group.

Future outlook

Difficult, but necessary, decisions have been made, and we will have to make more such decisions. We have a clear plan to improve profitability and are completing the measures we have communicated and what we can influence ourselves. We are maintaining a high pace during the remainder of 2025 to win new great contracts, implement the savings programmes and drive our signed agreements to enter 2026 with better conditions. Through continued focus on consolidating our operations within the divisions and the Group, increased internal efficiency, improved processes and a strengthened financial position, we are preparing ourselves to face the future. In conclusion, I would like to thank all of our employees for their commitment, professionalism and support. Together, we can create value through our shared knowledge, good customer relationships and strong offerings.

Adjustments have not been made for the earnings effect from project write-downs in the three subsidiaries, as these have not been classified as items affecting comparability.

Depreciation and amortisation amounted to MSEK -66 (-55). Depreciation was charged with MSEK 5 due to a one-off leasing adjustment.

Net financial items amounted to MSEK -54 (-60) for the nine-month period. Interest expenses amounted to MSEK -45 (-50), of which MSEK -2 (-2) was attributable to lease liabilities.

Earnings before tax amounted to MSEK -75 (29) for the first nine months.

Loss after tax amounted to MSEK -66 (19). Tax for the period includes deferred tax on losses and amounted to SEK 9 (-10) million, corresponding to an effective tax rate of 13 per cent (34). Tax for the period is affected by tax adjustments and by limitations on interest deductions in 2025, which reduces the deferred tax.

Net income discontinuing operations, including capital gains from divestment, amounted to MSEK 16 (-8). Loss after tax including discontinuing operations amounted to MSEK -50 (11).

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to MSEK -135 (44) for continuing operations. The decline was mainly the result of lower volumes and a continued high proportion of projects in start-up phases which initially results in a higher tied-up capital. Including discontinuing operations, cash flow from operating activities amounted to MSEK -39 (23).

During the nine-month period, cash flow from investing activities was MSEK -17 (-120) for continuing operations. In the second half of 2024, cash flow was impacted by paid contingent considerations. Including discontinuing operations, cash flow from investing activities amounted to MSEK -19 (-120).

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to MSEK 44 (-77) for continuing operations. Including discontinuing operations, cash flow from financing activities amounted to MSEK 43 (-79).

Since EBITDA, which is one of Netel's covenantin existing loan agreements, does not take into account one-off writedowns of projects, the project write-downs described above meant that the company did not meet all loan conditions in existing financing agreements as of 30 September. After the end of the quarter, the company has received a waiver from existing lenders regarding the third quarter. A process in good faith is underway with lenders with a mutual intention to establish a new long-term financing before the end of the year. We have a good and forward-looking dialogue with our lenders who have received detailed information about our action and savings programmes.

Project business tends to fluctuate

Following the communication on 1 October, we have been asked how our business operates and why earnings fluctuate between quarters. It is important to understand that our income statement is based on percentage of completion where revenue and costs, and therefore margins, are divided across the timespan of the projects. Four times a year, we review all projects in detail and update our forecasts for the margins for the projects. It is on these occasions and before a project is ended that our earnings may be adjusted. The forecast adjustments have an immediate impact on the income statement through changed revenue recognition and if a write-down of, for example, 0.5 per cent on EBITA were to arise, it will at that point affect the previously reported results of the entire project, which can have major consequences in individual quarters even if the projects themselves have a profit margin that is in line with our financial goals.

Since we have a project-based business, our earnings and cash flow will continue to fluctuate between quarters, and it is important to view our performance over longer time periods in order to gain a fair view. The nature of our business also means that project management, risk control and uniform ways of working related to tendering, follow-ups and forecasts are of key importance to us. These are areas that have been – and continue to be – highly important to me and my Management Team since I assumed the role of CEO almost two years ago. Owing to this, we have increased the transparency of our subsidiaries, invested in reporting and governance tools and introduced new procedures for central review and approval of tenders. This work will be accelerated further in connection with the consolidation of subsidiaries within the Group.

Future outlook

Difficult, but necessary, decisions have been made, and we will have to make more such decisions. We have a clear plan to improve profitability and are completing the measures we have communicated and what we can influence ourselves. We are maintaining a high pace during the remainder of 2025 to win new great contracts, implement the savings programmes and drive our signed agreements to enter 2026 with better conditions. Through continued focus on consolidating our operations within the divisions and the Group, increased internal efficiency, improved processes and a strengthened financial position, we are preparing ourselves to face the future. In conclusion, I would like to thank all of our employees for their commitment, professionalism and support. Together, we can create value through our shared knowledge, good customer relationships and strong offerings.

Net sales and adjusted EBITA margin, continuing operations

Third quarter

Continuing operations

Net sales

Net sales decreased 17.8 per cent to MSEK 654 (796) in the third quarter due to a continued high proportion of project starts in all divisions and lower volumes in Power in Sweden and Telecom in the UK. Volumes in the Infraservices and Telecom divisions were impacted by the Group's decision to focus on profitability in project procurements. Power in Norway continued to grow at a high rate during the quarter.

Order bookings remained healthy in the quarter and the order backlog increased 4.4 per cent to MSEK 3,840 (3,581). Netel's underlying markets are healthy and are driven by the strong megatrends of digitalisation, electrification and modernisation of critical infrastructure. At the end of the second quarter of 2025, the order backlog amounted to MSEK 4,091.

Exchange rate effects had a negative impact on net sales of 2.4 per cent.

These commitments amounted to MSEK 1,124 at the end of the quarter compared with MSEK 1,043 at the start of the quarter. After the end of the quarter, the company has received a waiver from existing lenders regarding the third quarter, but as of 30 September, covenants in existing financing agreements were not met, which according to IFRS entails a reclassification of existing debt from long-term to short-term as of the balance sheet date. Dialogues and processes are ongoing with lenders for long-term financing before the end of the year.

Net sales and adjusted EBITA margin, continuing operations

Third quarter

Continuing operations

Net sales

Net sales decreased 17.8 per cent to MSEK 654 (796) in the third quarter due to a continued high proportion of project starts in all divisions and lower volumes in Power in Sweden and Telecom in the UK. Volumes in the Infraservices and Telecom divisions were impacted by the Group's decision to focus on profitability in project procurements. Power in Norway continued to grow at a high rate during the quarter.

Order bookings remained healthy in the quarter and the order backlog increased 4.4 per cent to MSEK 3,840 (3,581). Netel's underlying markets are healthy and are driven by the strong megatrends of digitalisation, electrification and modernisation of critical infrastructure. At the end of the second quarter of 2025, the order backlog amounted to MSEK 4,091.

Exchange rate effects had a negative impact on net sales of 2.4 per cent.

1EBITDA, which is one of Netel's covenantin existing loan agreements, does not take into account one-off writedowns of projects, the project write-downs described above meant that the company did not meet all loan conditions in existing financing agreements as of 30 September. After the end of the quarter, the company has received a waiver from existing lenders regarding the third quarter. A process in good faith is underway with lenders with a mutual intention to establish a new long-term financing before the end of the year. We have a good and forward-looking dialogue with our lenders who have received detailed information about our action and savings programmes.

Project business tends to fluctuate

Following the communication on 1 October, we have been asked how our business operates and why earnings fluctuate between quarters. It is important to understand that our income statement is based on percentage of completion where revenue and costs, and therefore margins, are divided across the timespan of the projects. Four times a year, we review all projects in detail and update our forecasts for the margins for the projects. It is on these occasions and before a project is ended that our earnings may be adjusted. The forecast adjustments have an immediate impact on the income statement through changed revenue recognition and if a write-down of, for example, 0.5 per cent on EBITA were to arise, it will at that point affect the previously reported results of the entire project, which can have major consequences in individual quarters even if the projects themselves have a profit margin that is in line with our financial goals.

Since we have a project-based business, our earnings and cash flow will continue to fluctuate between quarters, and it is important to view our performance over longer time periods in order to gain a fair view. The nature of our business also means that project management, risk control and uniform ways of working related to tendering, follow-ups and forecasts are of key importance to us. These are areas that have been – and continue to be – highly important to me and my Management Team since I assumed the role of CEO almost two years ago. Owing to this, we have increased the transparency of our subsidiaries, invested in reporting and governance tools and introduced new procedures for central review and approval of tenders. This work will be accelerated further in connection with the consolidation of subsidiaries within the Group.

Future outlook

Difficult, but necessary, decisions have been made, and we will have to make more such decisions. We have a clear plan to improve profitability and are completing the measures we have communicated and what we can influence ourselves. We are maintaining a high pace during the remainder of 2025 to win new great contracts, implement the savings programmes and drive our signed agreements to enter 2026 with better conditions. Through continued focus on consolidating our operations within the divisions and the Group, increased internal efficiency, improved processes and a strengthened financial position, we are preparing ourselves to face the future. In conclusion, I would like to thank all of our employees for their commitment, professionalism and support. Together, we can create value through our shared knowledge, good customer relationships and strong offerings.

EBITDA increased to MSEK 45 (144) and the EBITDA margin amounted to 2.1 per cent (6.2). Adjusted EBITA amounted to MSEK -15 (94) and the EBITA margin amounted to -0.7 per cent (4.0). Profitability was mainly impacted by lower volumes and write-downs of projects in subsidiaries in Infraservices and Power in Sweden and operations in the UK that were all acquired in 2021–2022.

Adjusted EBITDA amounted to MSEK 67 (162) for the first nine months of the year with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 3.1 per cent (7.0). Adjusted EBITA amounted to MSEK 8 (112) and the adjusted EBITA margin amounted to 0.4 per cent (4.8). Adjustments have been made for items affecting comparability of MSEK 22 (18) concerning restructuring costs and organisational changes as well as divestment-related costs of MSEK 9 (0). Adjustments have not been made for the earnings effect from project write-downs in the three subsidiaries, as these have not been classified as items affecting comparability.

Depreciation and amortisation amounted to MSEK -66 (-55). Depreciation was charged with MSEK 5 due to a one-off leasing adjustment.

Net financial items amounted to MSEK -54 (-60) for the nine-month period. Interest expenses amounted to MSEK -45 (-50), of which MSEK -2 (-2) was attributable to lease liabilities.

Earnings before tax amounted to MSEK -75 (29) for the first nine months.

Loss after tax amounted to MSEK -66 (19). Tax for the period includes deferred tax on losses and amounted to SEK 9 (-10) million, corresponding to an effective tax rate of 13 per cent (34). Tax for the period is affected by tax adjustments and by limitations on interest deductions in 2025, which reduces the deferred tax.

Net income discontinuing operations, including capital gains from divestment, amounted to MSEK 16 (-8). Loss after tax including discontinuing operations amounted to MSEK -50 (11).

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to MSEK -135 (44) for continuing operations. The decline was mainly the result of lower volumes and a continued high proportion of projects in start-up phases which initially results in a higher tied-up capital. Including discontinuing operations, cash flow from operating activities amounted to MSEK -39 (23).

During the nine-month period, cash flow from investing activities was MSEK -17 (-120) for continuing operations. In the second half of 2024, cash flow was impacted by paid contingent considerations. Including discontinuing operations, cash flow from investing activities amounted to MSEK -19 (-120).

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to MSEK 44 (-77) for continuing operations. Including discontinuing operations, cash flow from financing activities amounted to MSEK 43 (-79).

Cash flow for the period amounted to MSEK -108 (-153) for continuing operations. Including discontinuing operations, cash flow for the period amounted to MSEK -111 (-204).

CEO's comments

Clear, time-specific measures for restoring profitability

Netel continues to have a high order backlog of SEK 3.8 billion and operates in attractive markets driven by powerful megatrends, we have a strong offering and longstanding customer relationships. However, it has been a difficult quarter, and we have challenging quarters ahead. On 1 October, we communicated that Netel had been affected during the second half of 2025 by write-downs regarding completed projects and projects in end stages in three subsidiaries acquired in 2021–2022, as well as by lower than expected volumes and deteriorating market conditions. The remaining operations, which account for more than 90% of Netel's expected net sales in 2025, are still expected – despite reduced volumes due to market changes – to deliver an adjusted EBITA margin of approximately 4–5% for the full year.

The write-downs arose as we prepared to close out projects and the identified overvalued projects in the three subsidiaries. These write-downs and lower volumes have had a significant negative impact on our profitability. We are now turning over every stone to restore profitability. Among other measures, we are introducing new working methods, improving project management, consolidating companies, reducing the organisation, and streamlining management layers. We have after the end of the quarter decided to review the possibility of divesting our operations in the UK and have signed a letter of intent with the target to complete the transaction before the end of the year.

Our new, recently signed customer agreements and strategy to expand to new regions and customer groups in our existing markets will also help to boost profitability. We have a close and transparent dialogue in good spirit with our lenders, with a mutual intention to reach a new agreement for long-term financing before the end of the year.

Continued high order backlog of SEK 3.8 billion

Our underlying markets are healthy and are driven by the strong megatrends of digitalisation, electrification and modernisation of critical infrastructure. We also have a generally high level of activity in our markets with many tender requests. This also means that many new players are entering our markets, thus intensifying competition. We are therefore working focused on ensuring that we are competitive. We signed new important contracts including with E.ON and Vattenfall in Sweden as well as Elvia in Norway. We continue to have a high order backlog exceeding SEK 3.8 billion, of which SEK 2.0 billion pertains to 2026 and we are confident that we will be able to continue to maintain it a high level considering prevailing market conditions. We are closely monitoring our customers' investment appetite and have noted a decrease in the investment volume in the telecom market, which we can adapt to more easily with our flexible business model with a high proportion of subcontractors.

Focus on profitability in procurements

At the beginning of 2025, we made a strategic decision to focus on our profitability target in project procurements rather than on growth. This was communicated in the report for the first quarter of 2025 when we lowered our annual financial growth target from 10 per cent to 3–5 per cent. This strategic decision together with the increased competition that exists in several markets has resulted in us not winning contracts at the rate we expected. This is particularly noticeable in Infraservices where competitors that previously focused on the construction sector are now shifting to our customer segments that comprise industries as well as municipal and governmental bodies. We are therefore optimising our organisation and working methods to be competitive in this market as well.

We expect to achieve growth and margin improvement for the full year 2026, given our cost-saving measures during 2025–2026 and the market conditions we see today.

Savings programmes totalling MSEK 40–50

To achieve our profitability target, we need to keep working hard. These measures differ slightly between the divisions, and the programmes were introduced internally with time-specific milestones.

We have resolved on a savings programme totalling MSEK 25 to reduce costs that will generate a full effect in 2026. Of this amount, MSEK 10 pertains to already identified services and vacancies within central functions that have not been filled. Identified cost savings and organisational changes within the Norwegian telecom operations amount to MSEK 15. These measures are being implemented.

The consolidation of companies together with additional restructuring of managerial functions and cost savings within central functions will provide an additional MSEK 15–25 in savings with full effect in 2027.

Infraservices – new division management and improved governance

We have new management in place in one of our companies, who during a review prior to project completion discovered that the projects were overvalued and had to be written down. Profitability was also impacted by the lower volumes in the quarter. The division is carrying out measures to improve project control, increase risk control and facilitate more uniform ways of working for tenders, follow-ups and forecasts. As an additional measure, I assumed the role of acting head of the division during the quarter.

Power – new major framework agreements signed

Profitability was impacted by one-off write-downs of completed projects or projects in end stages that started in 2022 in a Swedish subsidiary within Power, and a continued high proportion of project starts and lower volumes in Sweden. Profitability is expected to improve in 2026 in part through contributions from recently signed, major framework agreements with E.ON, Vattenfall. In Sweden, Elvia in Norway and agreement with Elvia for the upgrade of three power stations.

In Power, we are also reducing managerial levels to become closer to the projects and streamlining the structure of the division by merging several subsidiaries. We have also accelerated focus and resource to manage projects efficiently with good governance, high risk control and high customer satisfaction.

Telecom – savings measures of MSEK 15

Profitability was impacted by the high proportion of projects that remained in start-up phases during the quarter as well as lower volumes in recently won projects. We did not achieve the saving from the new business system and new organisation in Norway that we had anticipated in 2025. Approximately MSEK 15 of the MSEK 25 savings programme set to lower expenses in 2026 involves the Norwegian telecom operations. These measures include vacancies that have not been filled and we have a new organisation as of 1 October 2025 which is adapted to new, more efficient ways of working. The new digital tools that are gradually being introduced into the Norwegian service organisation are also expected to continue to contribute to increased efficiency and profitability. As in the Infraservices division, I have also taken on the role of acting head of the division.

Initiated divestment of the UK operations

Netel acquired the UK business in 2022 to establish itself in an additional market. The UK business has had a negative performance trend and has negatively impacted both our earnings and cash flow. We have conducted a strategic review of the business and decided to review the possibility of divesting it. We have a signed letter of intentin place. Our intention is to complete the divestment before the end of the year.

Separate reporting of the three subsidiaries

To ensure the transparency our measures, we are reporting the sales and adjusted EBITA of the divisions and the Group separately excluding the company in the Infraservices division in Sweden, the company within Power in Sweden and the operations within Telcom in the UK. This information can be found on page 35. In this way, we show both how the divisions and the Group are performing without these three subsidiaries and how our measures are impacting our core business and the three subsidiaries. In the January–September 2025 period, excluding the three subsidiaries,the Group's sales declined 0.8 per cent to MSEK 2,001 (2,017) and the adjusted EBITA margin amounted to 3.6 per cent (5.0).

Operations excluding the three above-mentioned companies account for more than 90 per cent of our expected sales in 2025, and are expected, despite lower volumes, to deliver an adjusted EBITA margin of approximately 4–5 per cent for the full-year 2025. Our savings program is expected to have effects in 2026 and 2027.

Our financing

Tied-up capital isimpacted by projects in start-up phases, the longer lead times and invoicing in the quarter. Project write-downsresulted in net debt excluding leases increasing to MSEK 862 (674) and net debt excluding leases/adjusted EBITDA to MSEK 6.3, which far exceeds our capital structure target as the target does not take into account one-off project write-downs.

Cash flow from operating activities was also negatively impacted in the quarter, primarily by the high proportion of projects in start-up phases. We expect a strong cash flow in the final quarter of the year, which follows typical seasonal patterns.

Since EBITDA, which is one of Netel's covenantin existing loan agreements, does not take into account one-off writedowns of projects, the project write-downs described above meant that the company did not meet all loan conditions in existing financing agreements as of 30 September. After the end of the quarter, the company has received a waiver from existing lenders regarding the third quarter. A process in good faith is underway with lenders with a mutual intention to establish a new long-term financing before the end of the year. We have a good and forward-looking dialogue with our lenders who have received detailed information about our action and savings programmes.

Project business tends to fluctuate

Following the communication on 1 October, we have been asked how our business operates and why earnings fluctuate between quarters. It is important to understand that our income statement is based on percentage of completion where revenue and costs, and therefore margins, are divided across the timespan of the projects. Four times a year, we review all projects in detail and update our forecasts for the margins for the projects. It is on these occasions and before a project is ended that our earnings may be adjusted. The forecast adjustments have an immediate impact on the income statement through changed revenue recognition and if a write-down of, for example, 0.5 per cent on EBITA were to arise, it will at that point affect the previously reported results of the entire project, which can have major consequences in individual quarters even if the projects themselves have a profit margin that is in line with our financial goals.

Since we have a project-based business, our earnings and cash flow will continue to fluctuate between quarters, and it is important to view our performance over longer time periods in order to gain a fair view. The nature of our business also means that project management, risk control and uniform ways of working related to tendering, follow-ups and forecasts are of key importance to us. These are areas that have been – and continue to be – highly important to me and my Management Team since I assumed the role of CEO almost two years ago. Owing to this, we have increased the transparency of our subsidiaries, invested in reporting and governance tools and introduced new procedures for central review and approval of tenders. This work will be accelerated further in connection with the consolidation of subsidiaries within the Group.

Future outlook

Difficult, but necessary, decisions have been made, and we will have to make more such decisions. We have a clear plan to improve profitability and are completing the measures we have communicated and what we can influence ourselves. We are maintaining a high pace during the remainder of 2025 to win new great contracts, implement the savings programmes and drive our signed agreements to enter 2026 with better conditions. Through continued focus on consolidating our operations within the divisions and the Group, increased internal efficiency, improved processes and a strengthened financial position, we are preparing ourselves to face the future. In conclusion, I would like to thank all of our employees for their commitment, professionalism and support. Together, we can create value through our shared knowledge, good customer relationships and strong offerings.

Third quarter

Continuing operations

Net sales

Net sales decreased 17.8 per cent to MSEK 654 (796) in the third quarter due to a continued high proportion of project starts in all divisions and lower volumes in Power in Sweden and Telecom in the UK. Volumes in the Infraservices and Telecom divisions were impacted by the Group's decision to focus on profitability in project procurements. Power in Norway continued to grow at a high rate during the quarter.

Order bookings remained healthy in the quarter and the order backlog increased 4.4 per cent to MSEK 3,840 (3,581). Netel's underlying markets are healthy and are driven by the strong megatrends of digitalisation, electrification and modernisation of critical infrastructure. At the end of the second quarter of 2025, the order backlog amounted to MSEK 4,091.

Exchange rate effects had a negative impact on net sales of 2.4 per cent.

January–September

Continuing operations

Net sales

Net sales decreased 8.1 per cent to MSEK 2,138 (2,326) in the first nine months of the year due to a continued high proportion of project starts in all divisions and lower volumes in Power in Sweden and Telecom in the UK and Norway. Volumes in the Infraservices and Telecom divisions were impacted by the Group's decision to focus on profitability in project procurements. Net sales increased during the period for Power in Norway and Telecom in Germany.

Net sales decreased 39.3 per cent to MSEK 134 (221). Sales were impacted by the continued high proportion of projects in start-up phases, the postponement of expected volumes in framework agreements and by the Group's decision to focus on profitability in project procurements. The underlying market is healthy with high activity, particularly in the municipal and governmental sectors, but competition is very fierce, which impacts Netel's growth as a consequence of the Group's decision to focus on profitability in project procurements.

EBITA in the quarter amounted to MSEK -23 (14), with an EBITA margin of -17.5 per cent (6.4). Profitability was impacted by the lower volumes in the quarter and write-downs for older projects. Operations in the Swedish subsidiary affected EBITA with MSEK -19 in the quarter. When reviewing older projects before project completion, it turns out that they were valued too highly. The division is carrying out measures to improve project control, increase risk control and facilitate more uniform ways of working for tenders, follow-ups and forecasts. During the quarter, President and CEO Jeanette Reuterskiöld assumed the role of acting head of the division.

Net sales declined 5.0 per cent to MSEK 196 (207) in the quarter as a result of a continued high proportion of projects in start-up phases in Sweden. The rate of growth in Sweden was also impacted by the decision to focus on profitability in project procurements. Growth in Norway remains strong and was positively impacted by the strategic decision in 2024 to expand operations both geographically and with new customer segments.

In the quarter, a new framework agreement with Elvia for emergency services and a new agreement for upgrading of three power stations for Elvia were communicated. The underlying markets in both countries are strong and driven by the need to electrify society and improve the capacity of the electrical grids.

EBITA declined in the quarter to MSEK -20 (9) and the EBITA margin amounted to -10.2 per cent (4.4). Profitability was impacted by write-downs from completed projects or projects in end stages that started in 2022 in a Swedish subsidiary and a continued high proportion of project starts, lower volumes and the project mix in Sweden. Operations in the Swedish subsidiary affected EBITA with MSEK -21 in the quarter. In previous years, Power in Sweden has had a larger share of power station projects with high profitability in the project mix. Profitability is expected to improve in 2026 in part through contributions from recently signed, major framework agreements as well as a new management team and improved project control in the company with project write-downs. The division's structure is also being enhanced by reducing the number of managerial levels and streamlining the structure by merging several subsidiaries. The division has also been provided with new expertise to conduct project operations with efficient management, high risk control and high customer satisfaction.

Net sales decreased 12.0 per cent to MSEK 324 (368) in the quarter, primarily due to a weaker performance in Norway, the UK and Sweden. Performance was impacted in part by more projects than expected remaining in start-up phases and in part by the Group's decision to focus on profitability in project procurements, which has affected the growth rate.

EBITA amounted to MSEK -19 (10), with an EBITA margin of -5.8 per cent (2.8) in the quarter. Profitability was impacted by the operations in the UK, write-downs of projects as well as the high proportion of projects that remained in start-up phases during the quarter and lower volumes in won projects. For the Norwegian operations, a decision was made to carry out measures that will reduce expenses in 2026 by approximately MSEK 15. These measures include not filling vacancies and the establishment of a new, more efficient organisational structure to adapt to new ways of working. The new digital tools that were gradually introduced to the Norwegian service organisation in 2024 are expected to continue to enhance efficiency and boost profitability. A letter of intent has been signed to divest the UK operations with the goal of completing the transaction before the end of the year. The UK operations impact the Telecom division with an EBITA of MSEK -19 million in the quarter as a result of adjustments made. During the quarter, President and CEO Jeanette Reuterskiöld assumed the role of acting head of the division.

Discontinuing operations

On 30 June 2025, Netel announced the successful completion of the sale of its Finnish operations to a group of private investors. The Finnish operations have been recognised at a negative value in the balance sheet, and the purchase price amounted to EUR 1. The sale has no significant impact on Netel's financial results and position but means that Netel can now focus its resources to the core markets in Sweden and Norway and the growth markets of Germany and the UK. Netel announced on 16 January 2025 that the Board of Directors had decided to initiate a process aimed at selling the Finnish operations, a decision for which management resolved to commence preparations during the fourth quarter of 2024. Netel expected at this time to complete the process in 2025.

Significant events after the end of the reporting period

After the end of the quarter, the company has received a waiver from existing lenders regarding the third quarter, but as of 30 September, covenants in existing financing agreements were not met, which according to IFRS entails a reclassification of existing debt from long-term to short-term as of the balance sheet date. Dialogues and processes are ongoing with lenders for long-term financing before the end of the year.

On 1 October 2025, Netel communicated the following:

The Group was impacted in the second half of 2025 by the write-downs in three companies that were acquired in 2021–2022, as well as by lower expected volumes and deteriorating market conditions, mainly within the Infraservices and Telecom divisions. Netel therefore estimates that sales for full-year 2025 will amount to approximately SEK 3 billion with an adjusted EBITA margin of 1.5–2 per cent. The expected sales represent a decrease of around 9 per cent compared with 2024, deviating from the Group's target of 3–5 per cent annual organic growth. The expected adjusted EBITA margin of 1.5–2 per cent for the full-year deviates from the Group's financial target of an annual adjusted EBITA margin of 5–7 per cent.

Other operations, excluding the three above-mentioned companies, which account for more than 90 per cent of Netel's expected 2025 sales, are estimated, despite lower volumes due to market changes, to show an adjusted EBITA margin of approximately 4–5 per cent for the full-year 2025.

Since more projects than expected are in the start-up phase during the second half of 2025, Netel's tied-up capital is also temporarily affected negatively. The above-mentioned write-downs mainly concern completed projects and are not expected to have any future impact on cash flow.

Indication 2026

We expect to achieve growth and margin improvement for the full year 2026 given our cost-saving measures during 2025–2026 and the market conditions we see today.

Employees

The number of employees at the end of the period in continuing operations was 850 (811). The average number of employees in continuing operations amounted to 833 (817) for the third quarter.

The number of employees is calculated as full-time equivalents.

During the quarter, Jeanette Reuterskiöld assumed the role of acting head of the Infraservices and Power divisions.

Financial targets

Revenue growth

Annual organic growth of 3–5 per cent.

Margin

Annual adjusted EBITA margin of 5–7 per cent.

Capital structure

Net debt (excluding lease liabilities) in relation to adjusted EBITDA R12M of a multiple below 2.5. The leverage ratio can temporarily be exceeded in connection with acquisitions.

Dividend policy

Pay-out ratio of 40 per cent of the Group's net profit, considering other factors such as acquisition opportunities, financial position, cash flow and organic growth opportunities.

Long-term incentive programmes (LTIP)

Netel has long-term incentive programmes resolved on by Annual General Meetings – LTIP – where some of the participants in the programmes will have the opportunity to acquire shares in the company (warrants). In the LTIP 2024 programme, some of the participants will have the opportunity to receive a cash amount based on the share price (synthetic options).

LTIP 2024/2027

The LTIP 2024/2027 programme includes members of the Executive Team and certain other key employees of the Group, originally totalling eight persons. The programme includes 750,000 warrants and 214,000 synthetic options. Both warrants and synthetic options may be exercised during the period from 1 June 2027 up to and including 31 August 2027. The subscription/exercise price amounts to 150% of the volume-weighted average price paid during five trading days ending on 17 May 2024, which was SEK 22.39. The terms and conditions of the warrants contain a so-called net strike recalculation clause, which means that the subscription price and the number of shares that each warrant entitles to subscription for will be recalculated before the exercise period. Participants have been offered to purchase the options at market value, with a subsidy in the form of a cash payment equivalent to approximately 50% of the investment amount. The benefit corresponding to the subsidy is recognised as share-based payment in accordance with IFRS 2, meaning personnel costs over the vesting period of three years.

The fair value on the allotment date amounted to SEK 1.88 for warrants and SEK 1.87 for synthetic options. The maximum number of warrants has been subscribed.

The Group has expensed SEK 167,868 in 2025 in accordance with IFRS 2 for share-related remuneration.

The Group repurchased 107,000 warrants under LTIP 2024/2027 during the third quarter. In accordance with IFRS 2, the previously recognised cost of the bonus component was reversed. The portion repaid to the participants was recognised as a reduction of equity in accordance with IAS 32. Following the repurchase, the number of warrants outstanding amount to 643,000.

LTIP 2025/2028

The LTIP 2025/2028 programme includes members of the Executive Team and certain other key employees of the Group, totalling 33 persons. The programme includes 778,800 warrants that may be exercised during the period from 1 June 2028 up to and including

31 August 2028. The subscription/exercise price amounts to 150% of the volume-weighted average price paid during five trading in May 2025, which was SEK 16.51. The terms and conditions of the warrants contain a socalled net strike recalculation clause, which means that the subscription price and the number of shares that each warrant entitles to subscription for will be recalculated before the exercise period. Participants have been offered to purchase the options at market value, with a subsidy in the form of a cash payment equivalent to approximately 50% of the investment amount. The benefit corresponding to the subsidy is recognised as sharebased payment in accordance with IFRS 2, meaning personnel costs over the vesting period of three years.

The fair value on the allotment date amounted to SEK 1.71 for warrants. The maximum number of warrants has been subscribed.

The Group has expensed SEK 104,254 in 2025 in accordance with IFRS 2 for share-related remuneration.

Parent Company

The Parent Company's net sales amounted to MSEK 7 (6) for the quarter. The Parent Company was charged with personnel costs and certain financial expenses.

Risks and uncertainties

As of 30 September covenants in existing financing agreements were not met, which resulted in a reclassification of existing debt from long-term to short-term as of the balance sheet date. There is uncertainty about the Group's future fulfilment of certain financial special covenants for parts of interest-bearing liabilities and thus there is a risk of demands for repayment of these liabilities within the next 12 months. After the end of the quarter, the company has received a waiver from existing lenders regarding the third quarter. Dialogues and processes in good faith are ongoing with existing lenders with a mutual intention to reach a new agreement for long-term financing before the end of the year. Although the Group is working on these issues, there is an uncertainty factor that may lead to doubts about the Group's ability to continue operations.

There are several strategic, operational and financial risks and uncertainties that could impact the Group's financial results and position. Many of these can be managed by internal procedures, although some are governed by external factors to a greater extent. Risks and uncertainties are related to IT and control systems, suppliers, disputes and assessments related to projects, seasonal and weather variations and currencies, but could also arise in the event of new competition, changed market conditions and macroeconomic factors or changed customer behaviour. Interest rate risk also exists for the Group. A weaker macroeconomic situation, higher interest rates and inflation pressure as well as political uncertainty could have a negative impact on demand from customers and entail project delays or cancellations. Impaired profitability as a result of the above or internal misjudgements could mean that Netel will have difficulty financing its operations. Netel cannot currently assess the scope of any potential recession, the level of inflation or expected interest rates or the long-term effects of trade tariffs and the effects on the Group's operations. Netel's business model is based on a low level of the Group's assets being tied up in own operations, for example, in machines, which makes the Group more financially agile during recessions. The Netel Group is also affected by weather factors. An early or late winter with lower temperatures has a negative impact on excavation projects, while autumn storms can lead to more assignments to secure power lines. For a more detailed description of the risks and uncertainties for the Group and the Parent Company, refer to the 2024 Annual Report.

Netel works actively to monitor and continuously evaluate sustainability-related risk and their impact on the Group's operations and earnings. As part of this governance, the Executive Team has started to monitor and evaluate the Group's climate impact and how the Group is affected by climate-related risks. The Executive Team is also following up compliance among subsidiaries regarding, for example, the Code of Conduct, workrelated injuries and legal disputes.

2026 Annual General Meeting

The 2026 Annual General Meeting will be held on Thursday, 7 May, at 11:00 a.m. in Stockholm, Sweden. Shareholders who wish to have a matter brought before the AGM may submit a proposal to Netel's Chairman of the Board by e-mailing [email protected] or writing to Netel Holding AB, Att: Årsstämma 2026, Fågelviksvägen 9, 7th floor SE-145 84 Stockholm, Sweden. To be assured of the proposal reaching the notice and therefore the agenda of the AGM, the proposal must have reached the company by 19 March 2026 at the latest.

Notes to the financial statements in summary

Key accounting policies

This interim report covers the Swedish Parent Company Netel Holding AB (publ), Corp. Reg. No. 559327–6263, and its subsidiaries. The activities of the company and its subsidiaries (the "Group") include the provision of the construction and maintenance of infrastructure in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany and the UK within the divisions of Infraservices, Power and Telecom. The Parent Company is a limited company with its registered office in Stockholm, Sweden. The address of the head office is Fågelviksvägen 9, SE-145 84 Stockholm.

Netel Holding AB (publ) applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. The Group's interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable parts of the Annual Accounts Act

(1995: 1554). The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 9 Interim Reports of the Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Reporting for Legal Entities. For the Group and the Parent Company, the same accounting policies, calculation bases and assessments have been applied as in the latest annual report for Netel Holding AB (publ), with the exception of hedge accounting. A more detailed description of the Group's applied accounting policies as well as new and future changes in standards can be found in the latest published annual report. For a complete description of the Group and the Parent Company's applied accounting policies, see Note 1 in the 2024 Annual Report and the description below. In addition to the

financial statements and their accompanying notes, disclosures pursuant to IAS 34 are provided in the interim information, which comprise an integral part of this financial report.

All amounts in this report are stated in millions of Swedish kronor (MSEK) unless otherwise stated. Differences in rounding off may occur.

Hedging of net investment in foreign operations

In addition to a bank loan in Swedish kronor (SEK), Netel has a bank loan in Norwegian

kronor (NOK) amounting to MNOK 200, corresponding to MSEK 199 at the time of borrowing. The loan is valued at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. This loan was identified to secure the net investment in the Norwegian subsidiaries including the Parent Company's lending to the companies amounting to an equivalent amount (MNOK 200) that

was identified as an expanded net investment. Hedge accounting is applied, which is why gains or losses from currency translation of the loan are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity to the extent that the hedge is effective. Any ineffective portion of the hedging relationship is recognised in net financial items in the income statement. Accumulative gains or losses recognised in other comprehensive income are presented in a separate item of equity and reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment on divestment or part divestment of the foreign operation. The hedge ratio is 1:1 for the hedge and an economic relationship is deemed to exist since the underlying currency risk in the loan and net investment are well matched. The Group did not recognise any ineffectiveness during the period.

Warrants

Obligations for the Group's warrants are recognised as personnel costs over the period of service based on the estimated number of rights expected to be vested. The fair value is calculated on the allotment date and recognised in equity. The estimate of the number of shares expected to be vested is reassessed at the end of each reporting period and any differences are recognised in profit or loss with corresponding adjustments made in equity.

Synthetic options

Obligations for the Group's synthetic options are recognised as personnel costs over the period of service based on the estimated number of rights expected to be vested. The fair value of the liability is remeasured at the end of each reporting period and recognised as an employee benefit obligation in the balance sheet. Any changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss as personnel costs. In the event that synthetic options are forfeited due to the

employee not meeting the service conditions, the liability is derecognised and previously recognised expenses are reversed.

Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing the performance of the operating segments. In the Group, this function has been identified as the President and CEO. An operating segment is a part of the Group that conducts operations that earn revenue and incur costs, and for which discrete financial information is available. The Group is categorised into segments based on the internal structure of its business operations, which means that there are three operating segments: the Infraservices, Power and Telecom divisions.

The same accounting policies are used in the segments as for the Group, except for leases in accordance with IFRS 16. Leasing according to IFRS 16 was not allocated on the division level. Consequently, the divisions' leases are reported as if they were operating leases. The Group presents revenue and earnings before interest, tax and amortisation (EBITA) per segment.

Earnings per share

Earnings per share before dilution are calculated by dividing net profit attributable to holders of ordinary shares in the Parent Company by the weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares during the year. Earnings per share after dilution are calculated by dividing net profit attributable to holders of ordinary shares in the Parent Company, adjusted where applicable, by the sum of the weighted average number of ordinary shares and potential ordinary shares that may give rise to a dilution effect. The dilution effect of potential ordinary shares is only reported if a recalculation of ordinary shares would lead to a decrease in earnings per share after dilution.

Estimates and judgements including going concern

The preparation of the interim report requires that company management makes assessments and estimates and makes assumptions that affect the

application of the accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. The actual outcome may differ from these estimates and assessments. The critical assessments and sources of uncertainty in estimates are the same as in the latest published annual report. See Note 1 in the 2024 Annual Report for more information.

The consolidated accounts for the period ending 30 September 2025 have been prepared on a going concern basis. However, a material uncertainty exists concerning events or circumstances that could give rise to significant doubt regarding the Group's going concern status related to the Group's future ability to meet certain loan covenants for parts of the Group's interest-bearing liabilities and, therefore, there is the risk of a demand arising for the liabilities to be repaid within the next 12 months. The Group is working on these issues.

Operating segments

For accounting and monitoring purposes, the Group has divided its operations into three operating segments based on how the Group CEO evaluates the Group's operations. The three operating segments are the Infraservices, Power and Telecom divisions. The Group CEO primarily uses earnings before interest, tax and amortisation (EBITA) in assessing the performance of the operating segments. Other adjustments at Group level are included under Group-wide items and eliminations, for example, transaction costs and other Group-wide costs that are not allocated at segment level.

Discontinuing operations

Netel announced on 16 January 2025 that the Board of Directors had decided to initiate a process aimed at selling the Finnish operations, a decision for which management resolved to commence preparations during the fourth quarter of 2024. The sale was completed on

30 June 2025. The Finnish operations are recognised as discontinuing operations in the Group's income statement for 2024 and 2025. Earnings from the Finnish operations have been excluded from the individual rows in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and are instead recognised as net earnings from discontinuing operations, net after tax, which are attributable in their entirety to the Parent Company's shareholders. Discontinuing operations

are included in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Additional information on cash flow regarding discontinuing operations is presented in a note. In the statement of financial position as of 31 December

2024, assets and liabilities attributable to discontinuing operations have been reclassified as Assets held for sale and Liabilities attributable to assets held for sale.

Currently, the Group only conducts Infraservices in Sweden. Power operations are conducted in Sweden and Norway. Telecom operations are conducted in all four countries: Sweden, Norway, Germany and the UK. Operations in Finland are recognised as discontinuing operations.

Reports of discontinuing operations

On 30 June 2025, Netel announced the successful completion of the sale of its Finnish operations to a group of private investors. The Finnish operations recognised negative net assets in the consolidated balance sheet, and the purchase price amounted to EUR 1. The sale has no significant impact on Netel's financial results and position but means that Netel can now focus its resources to the core markets in Sweden and Norway and the growth markets of Germany and the UK. Netel announced on 16 January 2025 that the Board of Directors had decided to initiate a process aimed at selling the Finnish operations, a decision for which management resolved to commence preparations during the fourth quarter of 2024.

In the tables below, the Finnish operations are recognised as discontinuing operations separately from the Group's continuing operations. As a direct consequence of the decision of initiating the process of selling the Finnish operations, Netel has evaluated assessments and assumptions in the Finnish operations. The evaluation has led to adjustments of revenue and costs in relation to risks and opportunities in ongoing projects and the sales process, which were recognised in profit or loss for the fourth quarter of 2024.

Transaction costs related to the sale amounted to MSEK 9.

Financial instruments

The Group's financial instruments measured at fair value only refer to contingent considerations and fund holdings (see below). For other financial assets and liabilities, the carrying amounts are good approximations of the fair value.

Fair value measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The table below shows financial instruments measured at fair value, based on the classification of the fair value hierarchy. The different levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 – Other observable input data for the asset or liability than quoted prices included in level 1,

either direct (i.e. price quotes) or indirect (i.e. derived from price quotes).

Level 3 – Input data for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (i.e. unobservable input data).

Fund holdings

The Group holds funds included in the item Financial non-current assets. Fund holdings are measured at fair value by use of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and are thus found in level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

Contingent consideration

For some of the Group's business combinations, there are contingent considerations in comparative periods. The contingent considerations were dependent on the average EBITA for the business combinations over one to three years. The considerations were settled in cash.

The contingent considerations are included in the items Non-current non-interest-bearing liabilities and Current non-interest-bearing liabilities in the amount

of MSEK 0 (61). The contingent considerations are found in level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Other holdings and liabilities measured at fair value

The Group holds currency futures that are included in the item Current non-interest-bearing liabilities.

These currency futures are measured at fair value through indirect calculations from underlying currencies, according to data received from the counterparty/bank, and thus are found in level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

After the end of the quarter, the company has received a waiver from existing lenders regarding the third quarter, but as of 30 September, covenants in existing financing agreements were not met, which according to IFRS entails a reclassification of existing debt from long-term to short-term as of the balance sheet date. Dialogues and processes are ongoing with lenders for long-term financing before the end of the year..

Review report

Introduction

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

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.

Conclusion

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

Material uncertainty regarding the assumption of continued operation

We would like to draw attention to the information provided in the interim report, under "Risks and Uncertainties" on page 12, which states that there is uncertainty regarding the Group's future compliance with certain financial covenants related to parts of the interest-bearing liabilities, and consequently there is a risk that repayment of these liabilities may be required within the next 12 months. Although the Group is addressing these matters, this indicates a significant uncertainty that may give rise to substantial doubt about the Group's and the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in this respect.

From the first quarter of 2025, net debt is recognised as net debt excluding lease liabilities. Previously, net debt was recognised including lease liabilities. The nature of reporting has changed since net debt excluding lease liabilities reflects Netel's financial targets and provides a more relevant view of indebtedness.

After the end of the quarter, the company has received a waiver from existing lenders regarding the third quarter, but as of 30 September, covenants in existing financing agreements were not met, which according to IFRS entails a reclassification of existing debt from long-term to short-term as of the balance sheet date. Dialogues and processes are ongoing with lenders for long-term financing before the end of the year.
