In our view, the most significant event of the third quarter took place at the end of it: In a historic speech at the BDI-Weltraumkongress in Berlin on September 25, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius described satellite networks as the "Achilles' heel of modern societies." He announced that EUR 35 billion in federal funds would be made available by 2030 to build a resilient structure of satellite constellations, ground stations, launch capabilities, and services. For us, the allocation of funds for military space infrastructure on a scale unprecedented in Germany underscores the importance of our industry for society and our everyday lives. As a long-standing partner of our national institutional customers, we are ready to continue contributing to the protection of this "Achilles' heel" in the future. With our expertise built up over decades along the entire value chain, we consider ourselves ideally positioned for this.
We also welcomed Dr. Tim Tecklenburg, who was appointed to the Management Board as the new Chief Financial Officer on September 1. He takes over from Kurt Melching, who has had a major impact on OHB for decades and brings not only in-depth expertise in the space project business but also from the defense industry, gained in his previous positions. In addition to handing over the areas for which he was previously responsible, Kurt Melching has taken on further strategic tasks on the Group's Management Board since Dr. Tecklenburg joined the Company, particularly in the defense sector.
Developments in the SPACE SYSTEMS segment were mainly characterized by the achievement of milestones in various projects: The infrared sounding instrument on the MTG-S1 weather satellite, which was launched at the beginning of July, was successfully activated, and delivered promising initial images. In August, the NAOS Earth observation satellite was successfully launched. In addition, the QUBE small satellite, a research satellite for demonstrating space-based quantum key distribution that was launched last year, was successfully put into operation. Furthermore, the integration of the PLATO space probe and launch preparations for the first batch of satellites for the IRIDE Earth observation constellation were completed in the third quarter.
In the ACCESS TO SPACE segment, the contract awarded to MT Aerospace AG for the series production of flight models 16 to 42 for the European Ariane 6 launch vehicle represented an important milestone in the ramp-up of the program. Furthermore, OHB SE became the sole shareholder in MT Aerospace AG by acquiring an additional 30% of shares in the company. This acquisition underlines our confidence in the company's growth path and in the very positive development of the global launch vehicle market. It is also intended to support a stronger positioning in the growing defense market. The shares were acquired from Apollo Capital Partners GmbH. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Hans J. Steininger, founder and managing partner at Apollo Capital Partners and long-standing CEO of MT Aerospace AG, for the successful cooperation over the past 20 years. We will continue to work together in the Aerotech Peissenberg Group, in which OHB remains a minority shareholder. Mr. Steininger will remain Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board of MT Aerospace AG.
Furthermore, we have been able to prepare ourselves for future business opportunities in recent months through two additional measures: By acquiring a manufacturing plant for the series production of electronic components in Schöneck and opening a satellite operations facility in Darmstadt, we have created the conditions necessary to meet the growing demand for satellites and the associated increase in demand for suitable electronic components, as well as to expand our service business in the DIGITAL segment.
Based on the high order backlog and the positive business performance after nine months, we assume that the financial position and net assets will continue to develop well. Consolidated total revenues of around EUR 1,200 million are projected for the OHB Group in 2025. The EBITDA margin and EBIT margin should reach figures of around 9% and around 6%, respectively.

In its statement, the IAF particularly highlighted the successful introduction of innovative space technologies to the international market and the outstanding achievements of OHB System AG in the industrial sector. Chiara Pedersoli, CEO of OHB System AG, accepted the award in person at the IAC.

Following the successful launch of the first sounder satellite MTG-S1 of the next generation of European weather satellites (Meteosat Third Generation, MTG) on July 1, 2025, its core component – the infrared sounding instrument developed by OHB – was successfully activated for the first time at the end of July. Overall, the commissioning of the entire system has gone according to plan so far. The first images delivered show promising results and underscore OHB's expertise in the development and construction of highly complex optical instruments.
The first group of MTG satellites comprises of MTG-S1 and two imager satellites, whose platforms were also provided by OHB. While MTG-I1 has been in orbit since December 2022, the second imager satellite, MTG-I2, successfully completed its thermal vacuum test campaign in the past quarter. The launch of MTG-I2 is scheduled for 2026.
The MTG program will provide improved data for weather forecasting from geostationary orbit for two decades. In addition to the infrared instruments on the sounder satellites, OHB is responsible for all six satellite platforms in the MTG constellation and for the four units of the telescope assembly of the flexible combined imager on the imager satellites.
On August 26, 2025, the NAOS Earth observation satellite, built by OHB Italia S.p.A. as the prime contractor, was launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California (USA). Following the successful completion of the initial
in-orbit tests, all activities in the subsequent commissioning phase are proceeding according to plan. This phase is scheduled for completion by February 2026.
NAOS is the space segment of the Luxembourg Earth observation system LUXEOSys and is equipped with a state- of-the-art, high-reso lution camera. This camera enables the capture of detailed images of Earth to support institutional, securityrelated, and environmental applications in Luxembourg.


{18}------------------------------------------------
In the HyLAP project, OHB System AG will be using hyperspectral satellite data to demonstrate how grassland can be used optimally. The data provides insights into the properties of plants that cannot be seen with the bare eye – and opens new avenues for more precise and resource-efficient agriculture.
The study focuses on the German hyperspectral satellite EnMAP, which has been in orbit for three years and captures light from the visible range to the short-wave infrared. Developed and built by OHB on behalf of the German Space Agency at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), EnMAP provides data for science of unprecedented quality. Its data is also to be made available for use outside of research – for example, for farmers who want to cultivate their fields in a more targeted manner.
HyLAP aims to show how hyperspectral data can be put to meaningful use in practice – also in combination with traditional methods such as field inspections. Together with users along the agricultural value chain, including state authorities, agricultural insurers, and private companies, OHB is investigating, among other things, grassland areas and the question of whether better monitoring can help to increase the quality and quantity of crops.

The small satellite QUBE, launched last year, was successfully put into operation in the last quarter.
OHB is the group coordinator of the QUBE initiative and leads a consortium for the development and testing of the research satellite. The goal of the initiative is to develop
and demonstrate core technologies for world-wide tap-proof communication using satellite-based quantum key distribution. Quantum cryptography is a key technology for future cyber security, and OHB has been active in this field for many years.
The initiative represents the transfer from research to application – to secure technological sovereignty and provide satellite-based systems that will continue to guarantee secure communications in the future.
The first batch of eight small satellites developed and built by OHB Italia S.p.A. for the IRIDE constellation was transported to Vandenberg Space Force Base in the United States last quarter. All preparations for the launch scheduled for November 10 were successfully completed there. All other satellites are scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2026 and launched by June 2026.
The IRIDE constellation, consisting of a total of 24 small satellites, will provide institutional and commercial customers with Earth observation data for monitoring climate change and critical infrastructure. In addition, the constellation will collect and relay AIS data for tracking ships. The combination of SAR with optical, panchromatic, and hyperspectral sensors makes the constellation unique in its form.
The integration of the PLATO space probe, built by OHB as prime contractor, was recently successfully completed. It is on schedule for its planned launch in December 2026. In the coming months, PLATO will be tested under space conditions as part of the environmental testing campaign.
After launch aboard an Ariane 6 launcher, PLATO will be placed at Lagrange point L2, approximately 1.5 million kilometers from Earth. From there, the probe will search for and characterize Earth-like planets. For this purpose, PLATO is equipped with 26 highly sensitive cameras that can detect even the smallest fluctuations in the light intensity of a star. By recording and analyzing these fluctuations, PLATO will enable scientists to discover new Earth-like planets.

{19}------------------------------------------------
At EUR 114.3 million, unconsolidated total revenues in the first nine months of the 2025 fiscal year were above the previous year's figure (EUR 93.4 million). The operating result (EBITDA) for this segment amounted to EUR 12.6 million and was thus higher than in the previous year (EUR 6.8 million). At EUR 7.5 million, EBIT was also up on the previous year's figure (EUR 0.7 million). The EBIT margin in relation to unconsolidated total revenues amounted to 6.5%, compared to 0.8% in the previous year.
OHB SE has acquired a further 30 % of shares in MT Aerospace AG from Apollo Capital Partners GmbH, thereby becoming the sole shareholder in the company. Hans J. Steininger, founder and managing partner at Apollo Capital Partners, and OHB are continuing their successful collaboration in the Aerotech Peissenberg Group, in which OHB remains a minority shareholder. Mr. Steininger will also remain deputy chairman of the Supervisory Board of MT Aerospace AG. MT Aerospace is a leading international aerospace company and has been part of the OHB Group since 2005.
The acquisition underlines confidence in both the company's established growth path and in the very positive development of the global launch vehicle market. It is also intended to support a stronger positioning in the growing defense market.
The more than 500 employees develop, manufacture and test components for institutional and commercial launch vehicle programs, for aircraft, satellites and for applications in the defense industry. The company is Germany's largest supplier to the European Ariane 6 program: With a share of over 10 percent of the work packages for the Ariane 6 launch vehicle, the company is making a significant contribution to securing European access to space.
In the past quarter, MT Aerospace AG reached the next milestone in the Phoebus project. The objective of the European Space Agency ESA's project is to evaluate, for the first time, the feasibility and advantages of using carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) instead of metal for the hydrogen tanks of the upper stage of the Ariane 6 launch vehicle.
Although the use of CFRP enables significant weight savings, it also poses major challenges when used at extremely low temperatures: For use in the Ariane 6 program, the hydrogen tanks must be functional at –253°C. After the approach had already been successfully tested for the first time in European launch vehicle construction with small demonstrators, MT Aerospace is currently building a CFRP tank with a diameter of two meters and a capacity of 2,600 liters. In September, the production of the tank's inner pressure vessel was successfully completed. Final assembly is scheduled to follow in December 2025.
MT Aerospace AG has been commissioned with the series production of key structural components and tanks for flight models 16 to 42 of the European Ariane 6 launch vehicle. The contract was signed at the "Weltraumkongress" in Berlin and marks an important step in the successful ramp-up of the program. With this commission, the company reinforces its key role as a reliable partner in the Ariane 6 program. At the same time, it confirms the company's growth trajectory.
By providing a significant share of the work on Ariane 6, MT Aerospace is helping to strengthen the competitiveness of the European space industry. The launch vehicle will remain the backbone of Europe's independent access to space well into the next decade.

{20}------------------------------------------------
At EUR 103.0 million, unconsolidated total revenues in the first nine months of the 2025 fiscal year were above the previous year's figure (EUR 78.8 million). The operating result (EBITDA) for this segment amounted to EUR 4.7 million and was thus higher than in the previous year (EUR 3.4 million). At EUR 3.2 million, EBIT was also up on the previous year's figure (EUR 1.6 million). The EBIT margin in relation to unconsolidated total revenues amounted to 3.1%, compared to 2.0% in the previous year.
Preparing for the expansion of its business activities in the field of satellite operations, OHB Digital Connect GmbH has opened a new location in Darmstadt.
Darmstadt is a center for the operation of European satellite missions. It is home not only to the space flight control center of the European Space Agency ESA, but also to the headquarters of the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), which has its own state-of-the-art facilities for satellite operations.
As a long-standing partner for the operation of national satellite missions, OHB Digital Connect GmbH intends to contribute its expertise at the European level in the future. A first contract that supports this goal was recently secured: As a subcontractor to Exostaff GmbH, the company provides satellite operation services for EUMETSAT. Together with other Exostaff teams, the experts of OHB Digital Connect monitor the status of the Meteosat satellites, analyze telemetry and perform routine maneuvers.
At the same time, the company continues to work on expanding and diversifying its service business for publicsector clients in Europe.

With the launch of a comprehensive platform for threat exposure management (TEM), OHB Digital Services GmbH has expanded its range of cybersecurity solutions with an additional service. This enables the monitoring of darknets, a hidden part of the internet consisting of a multitude of separate networks which, unlike the clearnet, cannot be accessed with conventional browsers. Within darknets, data is often transmitted and stored in encrypted form.
The TEM system acts as a central, unified platform for detecting and remedying threats in darknets and the clearnet. This includes, among other things, the prevention of account takeovers and the prevention and early detection of data leaks. In addition, the TEM system can monitor darknets for names, domains, IP addresses, and other important company or personal information.
GEOSYSTEMS GmbH once again attended INTERGEO, the leading international trade fair for geoinformatics, Earth observation, and land management, in Frankfurt am Main this year.
Under the motto "Understanding climate change. Acting with geo-intelligence", the company's team presented innovative geo-IT solutions that show how current challenges can be addressed with the help of Earth observation and geodata.
A particular highlight was the interactive application "Urban climate simulation for everyone", which evaluates specific climate adaptation strategies based on targeted urban climate analyses. Together with OHB Digital Connect GmbH, this topic was also explored in depth in a spotlight session. Under the title "Urban intelligence – Using satellite data for sustainable urban development", the companies presented practical solutions for resilient, future-oriented urban planning to interested municipalities.

{21}------------------------------------------------
Generally speaking, the OHB Group's total revenues are heavily dependent on performance milestones and delivery dates in the respective projects and therefore follow a non-linear pattern as planned. The figure amounted to EUR 863.5 million after nine months, up on the previous year (EUR 715.8 million).
The operating result (EBITDA) increased to EUR 75.5 million (previous year: EUR 62.4 million). Adjusted EBITDA increased from EUR 72.5 million in the previous year to EUR 80.9 million. At EUR 46.0 million, EBIT after the first nine months of the current fiscal year was up compared with the previous year (EUR 34.7 million). The corresponding EBIT margin increased year-on-year from 4.8% to 5.3%.
The financial result of EUR –8.5 million increased compared to the same period of the previous year (EUR –9.8 million). Earnings before taxes (EBT) changed to EUR 37.5 million after the first nine months of fiscal year 2025 (previous year: EUR 24.8 million). Income taxes of EUR 12.4 million (previous year: EUR 7.6 million) resulted in an increased consolidated net profit of EUR 25.1 million (previous year: EUR 17.2 million) in the current reporting period.
Cash flow, which is regularly highly volatile even during the course of the year, is characteristic of OHB's business model but is sufficiently easy to plan. After the first nine months of the year, the cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR –127.7 million (previous year: EUR –47.7 million). The cash flow for investing activities of EUR –13.2 million deteriorated compared to the same period of the previous year (EUR –8.3 million) and is still dominated by investments in intangible assets. Cash flow from financing activities of EUR 76.3 million was higher than in the same period of the previous year (EUR –60.7 million). Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the reporting period amounted to EUR 53.4 million (previous year: EUR 23.4 million).
The Group's firm order backlog stood at EUR 3,117 million after nine months of fiscal year 2025, up from EUR 2,382 million as of December 31, 2024. Of this amount, EUR 2,604 million is attributable to the SPACE SYSTEMS segment, EUR 336 million to the ACCESS TO SPACE segment and EUR 177 million to the DIGITAL segment. As of September 30, 2025, the OHB Group's total assets of EUR 1,565.4 million were 12% higher than the level as of December 31, 2024 (EUR 1,399.2 million). The increase in equity from EUR 427.2 million to EUR 440.8 million resulted in an equity ratio of 28.2% as of September 30, 2025, compared to 30.5% at the end of the year on December 31, 2024.
The OHB Group's workforce increased by 194 from 3,466 employees as of December 31, 2024 to 3,660 employees as of September 30, 2025. The headcount figure for "Rest of the world" comprises 45 persons employed in Chile and 49 persons employed in French Guiana.
Research and development expenses increased to EUR 18.9 million in the first nine months of 2025 (previous year: EUR 17.9 million).
{22}------------------------------------------------
At EUR 15.3 million, investments in non-current assets in the first nine months of 2025 were above the level of the previous year (EUR 10.3 million).
In the annual report for 2024, the risk and opportunity report provides detailed information on risks and opportunities that could influence the success of the business. There were no significant changes in the OHB Group's risk and opportunity profile in the current reporting period.
The Management Board issued the following outlook for fiscal year 2025: The OHB Group's consolidated total revenues are expected to amount to around EUR 1,200 million. The EBITDA margin and EBIT margin should reach figures of around 9% and around 6%, respectively. Based on the high order backlog and the positive business performance after nine months, the Management Board assumes that the financial position and net assets will continue to develop well.

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the related Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) applicable to interim financial reporting, as adopted by the European Union, and the additional requirements of German commercial law pursuant to Section 315a (1) of the Handelsgesetzbuch (German Commercial Code, "HGB"). Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all the information and notes required by IFRS for consolidated financial statements at the end of the fiscal year. In the opinion of the Management Board, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of results for interim periods. The results for the period ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of future results. The preparation of consolidated financial statements for interim reporting in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates.
A tax rate of approximately 30.5% is used for income taxes. No significant changes have been made to the basis of estimates compared to the annual report 2024. A detailed description of the accounting policies is published in the notes to the consolidated financial statements of the annual report 2024.
The interim report was neither audited in accordance with Section 317 HGB nor reviewed by an auditor.
To the best of our knowledge, and in accordance with the applicable reporting principles, the interim consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Group, and the interim management report of the Group includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the Group, together with a description of the principal opportunities and risks associated with the expected development of the Group for the remaining months of the fiscal year.
