Comments from the CEO

It is gratifying to note that organic growth reached 4% in the second quarter, after having been negative in the first quarter of the year. At the same time, the EBITA margin strengthened by as much as 1.6 percentage points to 11.6% in relation to the comparative quarter. It is highly satisfying to note that strategic price adjustments, implemented cost adjustments and focused efforts throughout the entire supply chain are having the desired effect on a broad front, in terms of both sales and profit. The foundation for continued profitable growth has been laid and we are now making several investments for future expansion.

In the Medical Solutions business area, sales increased by 5% adjusted for currency in the second quarter, now representing 56% of the Group's revenues. At the same time, the EBITA margin increased by as much as 1.7 percentage points to 12.6%. We will continue along our profitable growth journey with innovation and sustainability in focus, and are now investing in future growth through expansion in both Hungary and Poland, and by establishing operations in Malaysia. The latter strengthens our ability to grow further in Asia, as well as our global production flexibility.

Christer Wahlquist, President and CEO, Nolato AB

In the Engineered Solutions business area, sales adjusted for currency increased by 1%, even though the Automotive market area continued to exhibit lower volumes. The Hygiene market area has performed positively, while our previous consumer electronics initiatives in Asia are yielding results. Materials increased organic sales by 6%. EBITA margin for Engineered Solutions rose by 1.2 percentage points to 11.2%. Implemented cost adjustments and advanced market positions contributed to the strong margin growth. Furthermore, we have recently decided to expand the business area's production in Malaysia which will jointly house Medical Solutions' venture. Production is scheduled to commence in the second half of 2026.

Although the geopolitical landscape and ongoing trade war create general uncertainty, Nolato stands well equipped. We have a strong financial position and a geographical presence that gives us both global capabilities and redundancy to direct business and production to the regions that best meet customers' needs. We are thus also positive on the remainder of the current year.

Second quarter 2025

  • Consolidated sales amounted to SEK 2,395 million (2,439); organic growth of 4% adjusted for currency
  • Medical Solutions was the main contributor to the growth, at 5%, adjusted for currency
  • Operating profit (EBITA) increased to SEK 277 million (245)
  • The EBITA margin rose to 11.6% (10.0) as a result of a strengthening of both business areas
  • Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 316 million (434)

Sales

Consolidated sales amounted to SEK 2,395 million (2,439) – organic growth of 4% adjusted for currency. The appreciation of the Swedish krona in 2025 creates currency headwinds for the Group's and business areas' sales and profit.

Medical Solutions sales amounted to SEK 1,354 million (1,365); adjusted for currency, sales increased by 5%. The Drug Delivery market area continued to grow through increased volumes for a number of products. The Other market area also exhibited healthy growth, partly thanks to added volumes of new eye care products. In vitro diagnostics (IVD) exhibited lower volumes in the quarter compared with last year. Surgery had stable volumes after a protracted period of inventory adjustments, albeit at a lower level than the same period last year. The business area has decided to establish operations in Malaysia with cleanroom production nearby the existing facility. Production is scheduled to commence in the second half of 2026.

Engineered Solutions sales totaled SEK 1,044 million (1,077) – an increase of 1% adjusted for currency. Volumes in Hygiene continued to exhibit growth also in this quarter. Consumer electronics also performed well in the quarter and the investments made in Asia in particular are performing positively. As expected, volumes in the Automotive market area decreased. The business area has decided to expand its production in Malaysia at a new leased facility to enable further growth in Asia. The factory will jointly house Medical Solutions' venture. Production is scheduled to commence in the second half of 2026.

Volumes in Materials increased year on year, with a 6% rise in sales, adjusted for currency. Growth was lower than in the very strong first quarter, primarily due to the automotive segment, while Telecom performed well.

Profit

Operating profit (EBITA) increased to SEK 170 million (149) for Medical Solutions and to SEK 117 million (108) for Engineered Solutions. Overall, the Group's operating profit (EBITA) increased by 13% to SEK 277 million (245).

The EBITA margin for Medical Solutions increased to 12.6% (10.9). For Engineered Solutions, the margin rose to 11.2% (10.0). Previously implemented cost savings and strategic price adjustments, combined with growth in the quarter, are the main contributors to the positive margin performance. Overall, the Group's EBITA margin increased by a full 1.6 percentage points to 11.6% (10.0).

Operating profit (EBIT) grew to SEK 267 million (234).

Profit after net financial income/expense was SEK 264 million (215).

Profit after tax was SEK 212 million (169). Earnings per share, basic and diluted, rose to SEK 0.79 (0.63). The effective tax rate was 19.7% (21.4) in the quarter.

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 316 million (434) in the second quarter. The improvement in profit boosted cash flow before changes in working capital. Working capital requirements did not decrease like last year, and the change for the period was somewhat negative, amounting to SEK -8 million (+110). Net investments affecting cash flow rose to SEK 188 million (98). In particular, Medical Solutions' expansion in Hungary resulted in high investments. Cash flow after investments thus decreased in the quarter to SEK 128 million (336).

Medical Solutions sales amounted to SEK 2,751 million (2,720); adjusted for currency, sales increased by 4%. The Drug Delivery market area continued to grow through increased volumes for a number of products – insulin pumps, for example. The Other market area also exhibited healthy growth, partly thanks to added volumes of new eye care products. In vitro diagnostics (IVD) exhibited lower volumes compared with last year. Surgery had stable volumes after a lengthy period of inventory adjustments, albeit at a lower level than the same period last year.

Engineered Solutions sales totaled SEK 2,102 million (2,164) – a 1% decrease, adjusted for currency. Volumes within Hygiene have displayed healthy growth. Consumer electronics also had good growth and the investments made in Asia in particular are performing well. As expected, volumes in the Automotive market area contracted. The business area has decided to expand its production in Malaysia at a new leased facility to enable further growth in Asia. The factory will jointly house Medical Solutions' venture. Production is scheduled to commence in the second half of 2026.

Volumes in Materials increased year on year, with a 9% rise in sales, adjusted for currency. Very strong growth was recorded in the first quarter in particular, both in new products and technological areas within automotive, as well as in new product areas, resulting in increased market share and strong growth. Products for network equipment in Telecom also exhibited good growth. Growth was lower in the second quarter, mainly due to the automotive segment, while Telecom performed well in this quarter also.

Operating profit (EBITA) for Engineered Solutions increased to SEK 224 million (211).

The EBITA margin for Engineered Solutions rose to 10.7% (9.8). A favorable product mix and cost adjustments have had a positive impact on the margin.

Sales for the last twelve months amounted to SEK 4,181 million, compared with SEK 4,243 million for the 2024 calendar year. EBITA margin for the last 12 months increased to 10.1% compared with 9.6% for the 2024 calendar year.

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 316 million (434) in the second quarter. The improvement in profit boosted cash flow before changes in working capital. Working capital requirements were, however, somewhat higher than last year, amounting to SEK -8 million (+110), which had a negative impact.

Net investments affecting cash flow rose to SEK 188 million (98). Investments for Medical Solutions' expansion in Hungary, for the production of medical devices for administering medication to treat overweight and diabetes, are continuing and have, as planned, led to high investments in the quarter. Cash flow after investments, excluding acquisitions and disposals, amounted to SEK 128 million (336) in the second quarter. In the quarter, dividends totaling SEK 404 million (404) were paid out.

On an accumulated basis after the first half of the year, cash flow from operating activities was SEK 451 million (570). The profit improvement had a positive impact, while working capital requirements were higher than in the previous year. Cash flow after investments fell during the period to SEK -8 million (244, excluding acquisitions). Net investments affecting cash flow rose to SEK 459 million (328). In particular, Medical Solutions' expansion in Hungary resulted in high investments during the period. In the first quarter, an operating property in Poland was also acquired for SEK 69 million to enable future expansion in Europe. During the first quarter of the previous year, an operating property in Sweden was acquired within Medical Solutions for SEK 141 million.

Events after the balance sheet date

No significant events have occurred since the end of the period, but geopolitical tensions are, of course, also affecting Nolato's business and its customers. It is not currently possible to foresee the extent of this or how long it is likely to continue, nor is it possible to quantify its effects on the Group.

Significant risks and uncertainty factors

The Group's and Parent Company's business risks and risk management, as well as the management of financial risks, are described on pages 67–69 and in Note 30 on pages 97–99 of the 2024 annual report.

No events of material significance occurred in the period that materially affect or change these descriptions of the Group's and Parent Company's risks and their management.

Seasonal effects

Nolato does not experience any significant seasonal variations. However, the third quarter can be adversely affected by the fact that the vacation period falls in this quarter both for Nolato and its customers.

Review report

Nolato AB, corporate identity number 556080-4592.

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim report for Nolato AB as at June 30, 2025 and for the six months period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish 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 Statements 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 is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden.

The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

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

Definitions - IFRS measures

Earnings per share

Earnings for the period that are attributable to the parent company's owners divided by the average number of outstanding shares.

Definitions - Alternative performance measures

Nolato presents certain financial measures in this report that are not defined according to IFRS. Nolato considers that these measures provide valuable supplementary information for investors and company management, as they enable an assessment of trends and the company's performance. Since not all companies calculate financial measures in the same way, these are not always comparable to measures used by other companies. These financial measures should not therefore be regarded as substitutes for measures defined according to IFRS.

Average number of shares

The average basic number of shares comprises the parent company's weighted average number of outstanding shares during the period. After dilution, a weighted average of the shares that may be issued under the ongoing share warrant programme is added, if they are in-the-money, but only insofar as the average listed share price for the period exceeds the subscription price of the warrants.

Cash conversion

Cash flow after investments, excl. acquisitions and disposals, divided by operating profit (EBIT). Cash flow and operating profit have been adjusted by non-recurring items, if any.

Cash flow after investments, excl. acquisitions and disposals per share

Cash flow after investing activities excl. acquisitions and disposals, divided by the average number of shares.

Cash flow from operating activities per share Cash flow from operating activities, divided by the average number of shares.

Debt/equity ratio

Interest-bearing liabilities and provisions divided by shareholders' equity.

EBITA margin

Operating profit (EBITA) as a percentage of net sales.

Equity/assets ratio

Shareholders' equity as a percentage of total capital in the balance sheet.

Financial net debt in relation to adjusted operating profit (EBITDA)

Interest-bearing short- and long-term liabilities, excl. net provisions for pensions and leasing, with a deduction for cash and cash equivalents, divided by R12M EBITDA adjusted for any non-recurring items.

Net financial assets/liabilities

Interest-bearing liabilities from credit institutions less interest-bearing assets.

Operating profit (EBITA)

Earnings before financial income and expense, taxes and amortization of intangible assets arising from acquisitions.

Operating profit (EBITDA)

Earnings before financial income and expense, taxes and depreciation/amortization.

Profit margin

Profit after financial income and expense as a percentage of net sales.

Return on capital employed

Profit after financial income and expense, plus financial expenses as a percentage of average capital employed. Capital employed consists of total capital less non-interest-bearing liabilities and provisions.

Return on operating capital

Operating profit as a percentage of average operating capital. Operating capital consists of total capital less non-interest-bearing liabilities and provisions, less interest-bearing assets.

Return on shareholders' equity

Profit after tax as a percentage of average shareholders' equity.

Return on total capital

Profit after financial income and expense, plus financial expenses as a percentage of average total capital in the balance sheet.

Forward-looking information

Some of the items reported relate to future events and actual outcomes may differ materially. In addition to those factors explicitly commented on, other factors may also materially affect the actual outcome, such as economic conditions, exchange rates and interest rate levels, political risks, competition and pricing, product development, commercialisation and technical difficulties, supply problems and customer credit losses.
