LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS

DEAR READERS,

This year's Annual General Meeting on June 12, 2025, was characterized by stability and continuity as the basis for the OHB Group's further growth. The Annual General Meeting not only approved the proposed resolution to distribute a dividend at the previous year's level of EUR 0.60 per share. It also accepted all nominations for the Supervisory Board. These were the existing Supervisory Board members Robert Wethmar, Dr. Hans Königsmann, and Claire Wellby, who were each appointed for a three-year term in individual votes.

In the SPACE SYSTEMS segment, we would like to highlight two events in particular: At the Paris Air Show in June, OHB signed the contract for the LISA mission, the world's first space observatory for gravitational waves. This is the first time that OHB will be the prime contractor for an "L-class" mission, the largest and most complex scientific missions of the European Space Agency ESA. This not only marks another milestone in the Group's history but will also enable mankind to better understand the origins of the universe. In addition to LISA, the first Sounder satellite of the next generation of European weather satellites (MTG-S1) started its journey into geostationary orbit. Thanks to the innovative infrared sounding instrument developed and built by OHB, MTG-S1 will provide unique data that has not been available to weather services before and will significantly improve future weather forecasts.

With the delivery of the tank for Themis, the first European technology demonstrator for a reusable launcher stage, MT Aerospace AG is making a significant contribution to the future viability of European launch vehicles. Furthermore, the AEROSPACE segment saw a change in the position of CEO at our participation Rocket Factory Augsburg AG. We would like to thank Dr. Stefan Tweraser for his commitment and wish Prof. Dr. Kalnins all the best in his new role.

In the last quarter, we continued to expand our activities in the downstream services business in the DIGITAL segment. AI-supported image data processing is an important part of these activities. OHB Digital Connect GmbH is working on this in a project of the DestinE initiative with the aim of improving the resolution of the data supplied by the MTG-I1 weather satellite. Moreover, OHB Digital Connect GmbH and OHB Digital Services GmbH are collaborating on the Urban View Demonstrator project to develop a solution that will help cities adapt to climate change by monitoring urban green spaces and heat islands.

Based on the high order backlog and the positive business performance after six 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.

Under the direction of Supervisory Board Chairman Robert Wethmar, the Management Board and Supervisory Board reported on the course of business and answered questions from shareholders. In addition, Supervisory Board members Robert Wethmar, Dr. Hans Königsmann, and Claire Wellby were each appointed for another three years in individual votes.

June 23 – 24, 2025 Tag der Industrie 2025

The "Tag der Industrie" brought together leaders from business, politics, science, and society in Berlin.

Under the title "Defense Capability and Value Creation – Recipes for a Strong Europe", Sabine von der Recke, member of the Management Board of OHB System AG, discussed with Nils Schmid, Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Ministry of Defence, among others, how Europe can secure not only its economic power but also its defense capabilities.

July 1, 2025 MTG-S1 successfully launched

On schedule at 11:04 p.m. (CEST), a Falcon 9 launcher carrying the MTG-S1 satellite lifted off from Launch Pad 39A in Cape Canaveral (Florida, USA). The core component of the satellite is an infrared instrument developed at OHB's site in Oberpfaffenhofen.

SPACE SYSTEMS

At EUR 439.0 million, unconsolidated total revenues in the first six months of the 2025 fiscal year were above the previous year's figure (EUR 389.3 million). The operating result (EBITDA) for this segment amounted to EUR 33.7 million and was thus higher than in the previous year (EUR 33.6 million). At EUR 18.8 million, EBIT was down on the previous year's figure (EUR 20.5 million). The EBIT margin in relation to unconsolidated total revenues amounted to 4.3%, compared to 5.3% in the previous year.

OHB builds world's first space observatory for gravitational waves

OHB System AG has been contracted by the European Space Agency ESA as prime contractor for the development of the space segment for the LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) mission. LISA is the first space-based observatory dedicated to exploring the universe by studying gravitational waves. Scientists around the world expect it to provide answers to some of the last great mysteries of our universe. The contract is worth EUR 839 million and includes the construction of a constellation of three spacecraft.

After their launch in mid-2035, the three LISA spacecraft will detect the barely measurable distortions in space-time, predicted by Albert Einstein in his theory of relativity 100 years ago, with high sensitivity and in a particularly low frequency range. Neither of which is possible with ground-based measurements. This will enable the observatory to visualize cosmic events dating back to the earliest phases of our universe.

To this end, the space probes will fly in a triangular formation behind the Earth on their orbit around the Sun. Each space probe will carry free-floating test masses. In space, gravitational waves distort space-time, resulting in minimal changes in the distances between these test masses of the LISA observatory. These changes are detected using laser interferometry, an extremely precise measurement method. For the measurements, laser beams are sent over a distance of 2.5 million kilometers from one probe to the next and superimposed. This allows distance changes in the billionth of a millimeter range to be measured.

The LISA observatory will provide new insights into the nature of gravity and the expansion rate of the universe.

OHB Sweden moves into new facilities

After ten years at its previous location, OHB Sweden AB completed its move to new offices and the commissioning of a new cleanroom in the past quarter. The latter is three times larger than the cleanroom previously used.

The move marks a significant milestone on the company's path to industrialization. The new location not only enables further growth in terms of headcount and production capacity for satellites and propulsion systems, the proximity of the office space and cleanroom also enables the company to reduce development times.

»With laser interferometry, distance changes in the billionth of a millimeter range can be measured.«

The SOVA-S mission led by OHB Czechspace s.r.o. has been selected as one of four missions in the European Space Agency ESA's Scout program in the Earth observation domain. It is supported by a consortium of scientific and industrial partners, including OHB System AG. Leading a European consortium is a major milestone in the history of OHB Czechspace.

The mission aims to improve the understanding of atmospheric gravitational waves. These are large air disturbances that propagate worldwide between the layers of the Earth's atmosphere. These waves play a crucial role in the global climate system but are difficult to measure from the Earth's surface.

SOVA-S will provide daily global data on the behavior and propagation of gravitational waves. By observing them, scientists can make climate models more accurate, improve environmental risk management, and optimize other climaterelated measures. The data obtained could also help improve the prediction of extreme weather events.

In the consolidation phase that has now begun, SOVA-S will compete with the other missions for one of the two places available for implementation. The selection is to be made in 2026.

Next satellite with thermal infrared payload by OHB launched

In June 2025, constellr, a company in which OHB is a shareholder for several years, launched its second thermal infrared satellite. OHB System AG was responsible for developing and delivering the first two satellite payloads for the start-up's microsatellite constellation.

The payload combines two infrared sensors to enable conclusions to be drawn on, for example, the water requirements and general health of crops. This allows symptoms of drought stress and nutrient deficiencies to be detected at an early stage and remedied by targeted measures. The availability of accurate, high-resolution, and cost-effective information enables resources to be used more sparingly and contributes to global food security.

OHB Italia receives order for oxygen extraction system

OHB Italia S.p.A. and the Italian space agency ASI have signed a contract for the development of the ORACLE lunar payload. ORACLE is an innovative system for extracting oxygen from lunar regolith.

Over the next three and a half years, the company will develop, build, and test a compact laboratory that will use carbothermal reduction to make the oxygen present in the lunar soil usable. OHB Italia has been working on this technology for several years in collaboration with the Politecnico di Milano. Following successful demonstration on Earth, the system will now be tested directly on the lunar surface.

As part of the basis for establishing a long-term human presence on the Moon, the test will make a significant contribution to the further development of manned space exploration. With the implementation of ORACLE, the company is positioning itself as a key player in this field.

GARAI-B ready for launch

Following the launch and commissioning of the GARAI-A satellite in the first quarter of 2025, work on GARAI-B was also completed in the last quarter. The pair of satellites is based on the InnoSat platform developed by OHB Sweden AB.

The modular approach and high maneuverability of the platform enable a wide range of applications: The satellites can be used for border and coastline monitoring, maritime surveillance, environmental pollution and greenhouse gas monitoring, and in agriculture.

The launch of GARAI-B is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2025.

New European weather satellite reaches target orbit

The new European weather satellite MTG-S1 has now reached its destination in geostationary orbit at an altitude of around 36,000 kilometers.

MTG-S1 is part of the third generation of weather satellites (Meteosat Third Generation, MTG) and was developed, built, tested under space conditions, and prepared for launch by OHB System AG on behalf of the European Space Agency ESA.

An infrared instrument developed by OHB is at the core of the MTG Sounder mission. It enables MTG-S1 to continuously monitor weather conditions in Europe and Africa. The satellite scans the atmosphere and determines the distribution of temperatures and water vapor as well as the movement of individual air layers. Every 30 minutes, it delivers an up-todate, three-dimen sional profile of the atmosphere. At the same time, the air quality and pollution in Europe are monitored using the Sentinel-4 instrument of the EU's Copernicus Earth observation program.

MTG is one of the most complex and innovative satellite systems ever built. It will provide improved data for weather forecasting for the next two decades. The first MTG satellite has been in space since the end of 2022.

OHB and Axiom Space sign Memorandum of Understanding

The signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between OHB and Axiom Space marks an important step for future cooperation on the construction of a space station. OHB will contribute its expertise in payload services and hardware integration.

The partnership emphasizes the commitment to further developing and improving the conditions for space research. It is also intended to contribute to a seamless transition for German experiments in low Earth orbit after the decommissioning of the International Space Station.

AEROSPACE

At EUR 71.3 million, unconsolidated total revenues in the first six months of the 2025 fiscal year were above the previous year's figure (EUR 62.7 million). The operating result (EBITDA) for this segment amounted to EUR 7.1 million and was thus higher than in the previous year (EUR 5.9 million). At EUR 3.6 million, EBIT was up on the previous year's figure (EUR 1.8 million). The EBIT margin in relation to unconsolidated total revenues amounted to 5.1%, compared to 2.8% in the previous year.

The Supervisory Board of Rocket Factory Augsburg AG (RFA) has appointed Prof. Dr. Indulis Kalnins as the company's new Chief Executive Officer (CEO). He succeeds Dr. Stefan Tweraser.

With Prof. Dr. Kalnins, RFA has recruited an experienced aerospace engineer who will work with the RFA team to pave the way for the first test flight of RFA ONE. This is scheduled to take place in 2025.

The two members of the Management Board, Dr. Stefan Brieschenk (Chief Operating Officer) and Jörn Spurmann (Chief Commercial Officer), have recently extended their contracts.

»MT Aerospace tests the use of algorithms that can analyze large amounts of image and sensor data in real time.«

MT Aerospace AG involved in the development of new automated quality assurance procedures

As part of the European Space Agency ESA's INSPIRE project for the Ariane 6 launcher, MT Aerospace AG is addressing the question of how manufacturing processes in the aerospace industry can become more precise, faster, and more costefficient while maintaining consistently high safety standards.

The focus here is on automated quality assurance for one of the most safety-critical processes in the production of launch vehicles: shot peening of dome segments. Until now, error detection in this step has been complex and timeconsuming. MT Aerospace is now testing the use of algorithms that can analyze large amounts of image and sensor data in real time.

Testing under real production conditions is an important step toward securing the future of the company's manufacturing. The integration of AI-controlled real-time error detection into production processes contributes to securing MT Aerospace's global competitiveness.

HeHPV tanks for Mars rover delivered

MT Aerospace AG has delivered two helium high-pressure vessel (HeHPV) tanks for the landing module of the first European Mars rover, Rosalind Franklin. The second HeHPV tank serves as a spare unit. It is an important component for the rover's landing maneuver, enabling it to achieve the necessary pressure equalization quickly. A total of 65 liters of helium will be compressed into the large fuel tanks to perform the final landing maneuver.

The rover is part of the ExoMars mission of the European Space Agency ESA. It will help demonstrate various key technologies for future European space missions. These include the ability to land on a planet, as well as mobility and autonomous analysis of samples.

The launch is planned for 2028, with the rover scheduled to reach Mars in 2030.

Tank for Themis reaches test site

The tank for Themis, one of the largest tanks ever built by MT Aerospace AG, has arrived at Launch Complex 3 at the Esrange Space Center in Kiruna, Sweden, and is ready for the upcoming test campaign. Themis is the first European fullscale demonstrator of a reusable launcher stage developed as part of the European Space Agency ESA's Future Launchers Preparatory Programme (FLPP).

The double tank for liquid oxygen and liquid methane is almost 20 meters long, has a diameter of 3.5 meters, and weighs over 6,000 kilograms. The tank was developed, manufactured, and tested in just 14 months.

Themis' first flight will be a vertical take-off and landing at low altitude. The data and experience gained during this short but critical maneuver will form the basis for the upcoming test flights.

DIGITAL

At EUR 67.1 million, unconsolidated total revenues in the first six months of the 2025 fiscal year were above the previous year's figure (EUR 51.9 million). The operating result (EBITDA) for this segment amounted to EUR 2.3 million and was thus higher than in the previous year (EUR 1.8 million). At EUR 1.3 million, EBIT was also up on the previous year's figure (EUR 0.5 million). The EBIT margin in relation to unconsolidated total revenues amounted to 1.9%, compared to 1.1% in the previous year.

Development of AI application to improve the spatial resolution of weather data initiated

Nowadays, weather data comes largely from space. The most important European weather satellites are the geostationary Meteosat satellites, which are operated by the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites. OHB Digital Connect GmbH is currently working on their behalf to improve the spatial resolution of the data provided by the MTG-I1 weather satellite using AI-supported super-resolution. This process combines multiple images to achieve a higher level of detail. This enables more accurate predictions of local extreme weather events. The project is part of the "Destination Earth" (DestinE) initiative, which aims to create a highly accurate digital model of the Earth by 2030.

AI-supported image data processing is an important part of the DIGITAL segment's downstream activities. It gives a wide range of users access to information that can serve as a basis for informed decisions in the future.

OHB Digital Connect GmbH coordinates activities to protect communication satellites against cyber attacks

Satellite communication is an indispensable part of modern everyday life. Cyberattacks on communication satellites can therefore have far-reaching consequences. To counter this threat, the European Space Agency ESA is carrying out the project "Cybersecurity Makerspace: Identification, Exploration and Assessment of Cybersecurity Challenges to Satcom Systems" as part of the ARTES program.

The project aims to identify current trends in cybersecurity and assess emerging technologies and concepts for their applicability to satellite communication systems. In addition, security issues affecting commercial satellite communication services will be evaluated and potential attack and defense scenarios will be simulated.

Based on its extensive expertise in the field of secure satellite communication, OHB Digital Connect GmbH is acting as the prime contractor and coordinating the implementation of the individual sub-activities, which are being carried out by start-ups and academic institutions from several ESA member states.

Possible areas of focus for technological developments within the project include post-quantum cryptography, the analysis of security vulnerabilities in commercial security software, and the training of AI models for specific use cases in the context of satellite communication.

OHB operates satellite from its own control center

With the Multi-Mission Control Center (MMCC) in Bremen, OHB operates its own satellite control center. From there, the company recently took over the operation of a geostationary satellite and successfully completed a test campaign.

The MMCC is a mission-flexible system that can cover the operation of both individual satellites and entire constellations in different Earth orbits and across different life phases. As the central element of a ground segment, it bundles all services, interfaces, and control elements required for satellite operation.

The modular approach of the MMCC enables the interfaces to external facilities such as ground stations or providers of space weather data and the monitoring and control software to be tailored to the needs and requirements of the satellite system to be controlled.

OHB takes next step toward commercial downstream services for urban areas

To provide cities with tools for adapting to climate change, OHB Digital Services GmbH and OHB Digital Connect GmbH are carrying out the Urban View Demonstrator project for the European Space Agency ESA. In doing so, they are supporting the European goal of developing applications for detecting urban heat islands and monitoring the condition of urban trees and green spaces using Earth observation data.

OHB Digital Services is leading the work packages for monitoring urban greenery, while OHB Digital Connect is focusing on urban heat islands. Images from commercial satellites and the Copernicus satellites, along with aerial photographs and in-situ measurements, serve as data sources for the development of both applications.

The project partners and pilot users are the cities of Bremen and Essen. Both are already using digital twins to address urban development issues and simulate various scenarios. It is planned to integrate the applications developed as part of Urban View Demonstrator into the cities' digital twins, thereby expanding their scope of application.

The project has a duration of two years, during which further pilot users are to be found.

GEOSYSTEMS hosts Inspiration Day 2025

The talks at this year's GEOSYSTEMS Inspiration Day focused on global challenges and locally effective solutions, including presentations on urban climate and the revitalization of marshlands.

Cities are warmer, drier, less windy, and more polluted than their surrounding areas – with noticeable effects on people's health. Local authorities need a sound basis for decision-making when it comes to targeted urban development measures. To this end, GEOSYSTEMS is developing a web portal that enables cities to simulate climate-related parameters such as temperature, wind speed, and pollutant distribution and visualize them in a digital twin of the city. The solution is intended to be made available nationwide.

In addition, the company is working on a solution that uses remote sensing analyses and data-based marshland management to precisely monitor marshland areas and provide targeted support for planning marshland revitalization measures. In their intact form, marshlands are among the most effective natural carbon sinks. They are therefore an important component of climate protection.

OHB Digital Connect once again part of EU project to develop next-generation 50-meter radio telescope

As part of a consortium funded by the European Union, OHB Digital Connect GmbH is working on the next phase of development of the Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST). The radio telescope, with a reflector diameter of 50 meters, is supposed to be installed on the Chajnantor high plateau in Chile's Atacama Desert in the coming decade.

AtLAST will detect electromagnetic signals in the (sub) millimeter range from 10 mm to 350 μm and, with its large field of view, will be able to map the sky in a short time. This will provide astronomical research with unprecedented observation opportunities and thus access to groundbreaking new insights into our solar system, the Milky Way, and the depths of the universe.

The first study on AtLAST was successfully completed between 2021 and 2024. In the second phase of development, which has now begun, OHB Digital Connect will focus on consolidating the design concept and demonstrating critical technologies.

"Flyeye" telescope provides first image

The first of the "Flyeye" telescopes developed by OHB Italia S.p.A. on behalf of the Italian Space Agency ASI has been installed at the Italian space center in Matera and recently provided its first images.

The telescope will be fine-tuned over the coming months, with work scheduled for completion by the end of 2025. Following this, it will be installed at its final destination on Mount Mufara in Sicily by mid-2026.

In the future, the "Flyeye" network will automatically scan the night sky for near-Earth asteroids, thereby contributing to the protection of Earth and space infrastructure. The telescopes' extremely wide field of view will enable this to be done with unprecedented speed.

INTERIM GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORT

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.

BASIS AND METHODS

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 June 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.

AUDITOR'S REVIEW

The interim report was neither audited in accordance with Section 317 HGB nor reviewed by an auditor.

RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STATUTORY REPRESENTATIVE

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.
