COMMENTS FROM THE CEO

A satisfactory start to the year in the current market climate

The first quarter, which is seasonally weak, has also been characterized by continued low general market activity in most of our areas. However, we are seeing more and more signs that the Swedish market is developing in a positive direction, especially in the Foundation Sweden segment, where sales increased sharply during the quarter. The Group grew organically by 11 percent during the quarter, with Foundation Sweden being the driving factor. Our streamlining efforts and increased focus on productivity improvements are yielding results, and we are generally satisfied with the quarter in the current market climate.

Continued stable development in Rock Sweden

The stable development continues in the Rock Sweden segment, which grew organically by 6 percent, despite that work on several large projects won is planned to be carried out later in the year. The base for the segment continues to be the mining operations, in Sweden in particular, but also in Finland. During the quarter new projects for rock work in connection with the construction of an underground facility in Finland were received and we are confident about the future of similar underground projects as Sweden and Finland increase their defense investments. The EBIT margin of 5.0 percent was lower than in the same period last year mainly due to the project mix.

During the quarter, Nordisk Bergteknik received its largest order to date - a SEK 500 million contract as a strategic subcontractor in an infrastructure project with Swedish Transport Administration as the end customer. After the end of the quarter, an assignment was expanded with an additional contract of SEK 75 million. Even though the market for infrastructure projects has not yet fully taken off, this points to a brighter future.

Rock Norway

Demand in the Norwegian market remains subdued but shows signs of increasing stability. The segment's net sales decreased organically by 2 percentage points during the quarter. However, we believe that our rock

safety operations in particular will benefit in the long term – not least from 2026 onwards – from Norway's new national transport plan, which came into force on 1 January this year and applies to the period 2025–2036. The segment's EBIT margin was 1.1 percent, up from negative in the corresponding quarter last year. The cost-saving measures we have implemented are working, and the effects of this are reflected in the result, despite the relatively low volume.

Foundation Sweden

Despite the fact that the general demand situation in the market for foundation solutions, not least in terms of larger projects, remained weak, Foundation Sweden managed to increase organic growth by 33 percent. The temporary price pressure that prevails for foundation projects in combination with volatile purchase prices for goods continued to weigh on the EBIT margin, which amounted to -1.6 percent in the quarter. The focus going forward is also to bring profitability into our business, and in addition to higher volumes, more large projects are also required. Furthermore, we are seeing positive effects from the work of gathering the entire offering within the foundation business into one unit through the creation of Nordisk Grundteknik.

With the seasonally weaker first quarter and a number of project starts in the background in combination with several larger planned project starts, we are positive about the rest of the year and the future. " "

Our financial status

Cash flow from operating activities was negative as we had significant capital tied up at the end of the quarter, primarily as a result of project starts within Rock Sweden. Net debt was 3.5 as a result of continued low profit generation in the current market climate. Our ambition is to gradually reduce net debt over time in line with our long-term financial target.

Future prospects

With the seasonally weaker first quarter and a number of project starts in the background in combination with several larger planned project starts, we are positive about the rest of the year and the future. As a leading

strategic partner in the development of national and local infrastructure, Nordisk Bergteknik has a fundamentally competitive offer and a very strong position in a significant market with large pent-up demand.

Group performance during the first quarter

Net sales

The group's net sales for the first quarter amounted to SEK 827.5 (751.4) million, an increase of 10% compared to the previous year. Organic growth amounted to 11%.

In the Foundation Sweden segment, demand has been significantly higher during the quarter compared to previous year. The Rock Sweden segment has had continued increased activity during the quarter, particularly in infrastructure projects and mining and exploration drilling. In the Rock Norway segment market activity has continued to be cautious, which resulted in negative organic growth in the segment.

EBIT

Adjusted EBIT for the group in the quarter amounted to SEK 20.8 (24.1) million. Adjusted EBIT margin amounted to 2.5 (3.2) %. The lower EBIT margin is a result of a

lower margin in the Rock Sweden and foundation Sweden segments.

EBIT for the group amounted to SEK 18.3 (22.7) million. The EBIT margin amounted to 2.2 (3.0) % and includes items affecting comparability amounting to SEK -2.5 (-1.3) million.

Net financial items

The financial net for the quarter amounted to SEK -19.0 (-34.3) million. The improved financial net is explained by the fact that short-term investments of -6.1 million were written down during the previous year, which had a negative impact on net financial items. Furthermore, the group has a lower interest level than in the comparison quarter. The financial net excluding results from shortterm investments, exchange rate effects and revaluation of contingent considerations was better compared to last year due to the lower interest level and amounted to SEK -20.8 (-26.5) million.

Tax and profit for the period

The tax cost for the quarter amounted to SEK -2.6 (-3.1) million. The Group's tax cost is high in relation to profit before tax as a result of the interest deduction limitation rules in Sweden. The result for the quarter amounted to SEK -3.3 (-14.6) million, corresponding to an earnings per share of SEK -0.06 (-0.26) before and after dilution.

The segment's development

The segment's development

Net sales

The external net sales during the first quarter increased by 33% and amounted to SEK 241.1 (181.8) million. The challenging market with lower construction and related local infrastructure has continued during the quarter, but activity was higher compared to the previous year with more and larger projects, which contributed to the increased net sales.

EBIT

EBIT for the first quarter amounted to SEK -3.9 (-2.6) million. The EBIT margin was negatively affected by restructuring costs amounting to -1.4 MSEK. Adjusted for this, EBIT amounted to -2.5 MSEK and was in line with the previous year. The EBIT margin amounted to -1.6 (-1.3) %.

Operational focus

Nordisk Bergteknik has taken further steps in the work to strengthen the position, competitiveness and profitability within the core business through the creation of Nordisk Grundteknik. The goal is to collect the entire offer in one unit and thereby increase efficiency, realize synergies and create a common price and allocation strategy. Additionally, ongoing evaluations and activities are being conducted to allocate the right resources to each project to achieve the best possible efficiency and results.

Financial position

At the end of the period, the group's assets amounted to SEK 3,387.2 (3,531.8) million, which was in line with the previous year. The group's equity amounted to SEK 1,205.0 (1,206.0) million.

The group's net debt amounted to SEK 1,541.3 (1,613.5) million and consisted of loans to credit institutions, machine loans, acquisition loans, lease liabilities for right-of-use assets, cash, and short-term investments. The group's debt ratio, measured as net debt/adjusted EBITDA, amounted to 3.5x (3.5x). The lower result during the last twelve months has resulted in a higher debt ratio than the group's long-term financial goal of 2.5x.

The group's financing agreement contains two covenants; the group's debt ratio, calculated as the ratio between net debt and adjusted EBITDA rolling 12 months pro forma, and equity to asset ratio, calculated as the ratio between total equity and total assets.

Investments and cash flow

The cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK -29.3 (51.0) million during the first quarter and the adjusted cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK -26.8 (52.3) million (adjusted for items affecting comparability). The decrease is mainly due to an increase in capital tied up during the quarter, mainly in accounts receivable.

The cash flow from investment activities amounted to SEK -38.1 (-63.2) million and mainly consisted of investments in tangible fixed assets. The group has had a lower investment rate during the quarter compared to the previous year due to the current market climate.

The cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -38.0 (-22.5) million. The change compared to the previous year is mainly due to the fact that a seller's promissory note of SEK 32 million was settled during the quarter.

As of March 31, the group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 12.7 (79.8) million and utilized overdraft facilities amounted to SEK 26.8 (35.4) million. The group has additional unused liquidity of total SEK 229 million.

Personnel and organization

As of the end of the quarter, the group had 1,143 (1,174) employees, as shown below:

Shares and share capital

As of March 31, 2025, the number of shares and votes amounted to 57,237,867 with a share capital of SEK 572,379 corresponding to a quotient value of SEK 0.01.

Parent company

Nordisk Bergteknik AB's operations are covered by head office functions such as group-wide management and finance functions. Net sales consist of management fees that are invoiced to the subsidiaries.

Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 9.6 (9.1) million. Profit/loss before appropriations and tax amounted to SEK -10.0 (-19.6) million. The financial net of the parent company amounted to SEK -8.8 (-15.2) million.

The parent company's total assets amounted to SEK 2,155.6 (2,249.0) million. As of March 31, equity amounted to SEK 1,002.6 (1,008.9) million.

Significant events after the reported period

No significant events have occurred after the end of the reporting period.

Seasonal effects

There is a seasonal effect affecting the group's operations within the Rock Norway segment and refers to the rock reinforcement business in Norway, whose sales and earnings are lower in the fourth quarter and third quarter due to the weather conditions during winter. Other segments have no clear seasonal effects, but sales and earnings are rather largely dependent on project mix but also weather conditions. In order to counter revenue reduction as a result of seasonal effects, Nordisk Bergteknik works to ensure that there are projects that run over the winter months and reallocates resources within the group. Due to its size, the group has a greater opportunity to counter seasonal effects.

Significant risks and uncertainty factors

Nordisk Bergteknik's operations are affected by several risks whose effects on earnings and financial position can be controlled to varying degrees. The construction industry is largely affected by macroeconomic factors, for example general, global or national economic trends, raw material prices, growth, employment development, amount of infrastructure projects, regional economic development, population growth, inflation and changing interest rates. There is a risk that one or more of these factors can develop negatively for the company.

More detailed information about the group's risks can be found in the annual and sustainability report for 2024.

Note 7 Financial instruments

Interest-bearing assets and liabilities' respective fair values may differ from their carrying amounts, partly as a result of changes in market interest rates. The fair values of these assets have been determined by discounting future payment flows at the current interest rate for equivalent instruments. For financial instruments such as accounts receivable, accounts payable and other non-interest-bearing financial assets and liabilities, which are reported at accrued acquisition value subtracting any write-downs, the fair value is deemed to correspond to the carrying amount. The following table shows the Group's financial instruments by category and valuation level. There have been no transfers between the valuation levels during the year. Short-term investments that are valued at fair value in the income statement are based on available market value on the balance sheet date.

Definitions of alternative performance measures

Guidelines regarding alternative performance measures for companies with securities listed on a regulated market within the EU have been issued by ESMA (The European Securities and Markets Authority). The interim report refers to a number of undefined measures in accordance with IFRS that are used to help both investors and management to analyse the company's operations. Because not all companies calculate financial measures in the same way, these are not always comparable with measures used by other companies. These financial measures should therefore not be regarded as compensation for measures defined in accordance with IFRS. Below we describe the various measures not defined in accordance with IFRS that have been used as a complement to the financial information reported in accordance with IFRS and how these measures are used. For reconciliation of alternative key ratios, see the website https://nordiskbergteknik.se/en/investors/reports-and-presentations/

Key ratios Definition Justification for use of measures
Organic growth, % Change in net sales compared with the same period
last year, adjusted for currency translation effects and
acquisitions. Acquisitions are adjusted for by excluding
net sales for acquisitions during the period and inclu
ding net sales for the entire period for the acquisitions
that have been made in the previous year and that have
not been consolidated during the entire period last year.
Currency effects are calculated using the exchange
rates of the previous period for the current period
Organic growth facilitates a com
parison of net sales over time,
excluding the impact of currency
translation effects and acquisi
tions
EBITDA Operating profit (EBIT) excluding depreciation and
amortisation
The measure is used to measure
operating profitability excluding
depreciation and amortisation
