Q1/2026

CEO comments

In the first quarter of 2026, adjusted EBIT improved to SEK 2 million from SEK -11 million in the prior year, driven by 5 percent growth (10 percent in local currencies) and cost efficiency improvements from our transformation program, despite SEK 6 million in temporary transformation costs. Over the last twelve months, adjusted EBIT reached SEK 59 million, despite SEK 26 million in temporary transformation costs.

The global environment remains challenging, characterized by geopolitical instability. Against this backdrop, we believe we continued to gain market share.

The first quarter is our most weather-sensitive quarter, and this was also the case this year. In the Nordics, favourable conditions supported demand in our Sledstore business, while colder-than-usual weather across Europe, including the coldest January in 16 years and continued cold conditions in February, had a negative impact on demand in our core motorcycle category. Weather conditions improved in March, supporting demand towards the end of the quarter.

Margin after variable costs, remained stable compared with last year, supported by improved performance marketing efficiency, despite a 1.3 percentage point decline in gross margin. Pricing and marketing efficiency are closely interlinked, with increased competitiveness typically driving higher conversion and reducing the need for performance marketing spend, making contribution margin a more representative measure of underlying performance. We continue to prioritize contribution profit growth in absolute terms, while ensuring gross margins remain at healthy levels.

We continued to see improvements in cost efficiency, with operating expenses decreasing to 16.4 percent of net revenues, down 1.5 percentage points compared with the prior year, reflecting the structural efficiencies delivered through our transformation program, Pierce 2.0.

During the quarter, results were negatively impacted by SEK 6 million in transformation-related costs, primarily driven by external consultants and temporary parallel license fees associated with the implementation of our new cloud-based IT systems. In line with applicable accounting standards, these costs are expensed as incurred. As we approach completion of the transformation, these costs will phase out. We have already seen a gradual benefit from declining transformation-related costs and depreciation and amortization, with part of the initially identified SEK 30-40 million annual EBIT improvement materializing. A more significant step-up, corresponding to approximately SEK 20-30 million on an annualized basis, is expected as the remaining IT systems are fully implemented from the second half of the financial year.

Since the launch of Pierce 2.0 in the third quarter of 2023, net revenues have grown by 16 percent, while the number of white-collar FTEs has been reduced from 256 to 156, a decrease of approximately 40 percent. As a result, net revenues per white-collar FTE have increased by 90 percent, reflecting significant efficiency gains and the scalability of our business model. We are also increasingly leveraging data and AI-supported tools across the organization to further enhance efficiency, decision-making, and scalability.

We continue the rollout of several key IT systems. Last year we replaced two out of four core systems as part of our technology transformation – our Customer Data Platform (CDP) and Product Information Management (PIM) system. A pilot of the new e-commerce platform was launched last year, and we are continuously learning and improving it, with encouraging sales development, while preparing for deployment into additional markets. The full rollout of the new e-commerce platform and the implementation of our new Warehouse Management System are expected to be completed during the first half of 2026.

Depreciation and amortization decreased year over year, in line with our expectations as older assets become fully depreciated and transformation-related investments normalize, contributing to the improvement in adjusted EBIT.

Our financial position remains strong, with a cash position of SEK 273 million at the end of the quarter, further supported by a credit facility of SEK 150 million, available if needed.

As our new technology platform is rolled out, we will gradually expand into new markets and adjacent verticals, including localizing the nine markets currently served through our .eu site that were not included in the pilot launched last year. We are also seeing encouraging momentum in our mountain bike and scooter/moped categories, where we are leveraging our platform to drive cross-selling opportunities. These initiatives will take time to scale, but we expect them to contribute meaningfully to our long-term growth.

The European e-commerce market for motorcycle gear and equipment remains highly fragmented, with significant benefits from scale, particularly when combined with local market leadership and a technology-enabled platform. We actively evaluate opportunities to participate in industry consolidation, supported by our position as one of the largest players, the only truly pan-European platform, and the only listed company in the market. Our multi-category offering and high private label share provide a strong basis for synergies and value creation. While current market conditions, including heightened geopolitical uncertainty and a more constrained capital environment, make execution more challenging, we see potential to take an active role as opportunities arise.

Comments to the Group's profit/loss for the period

(Figures in parentheses refer to the equivalent period last year)

January – March 2026

Net revenue

Net revenue developed positively with an increase of 5 percent to SEK 421 (401) million. In local currencies the increase was 10 percent, reflecting a continued positive trend and underlying business strength.

img-3.jpeg

img-4.jpeg

All product categories reported positive net revenue growth during the period. Offroad sales increased by approximately 5 percent, while Onroad delivered marginal growth slightly above 0 percent, and the Other category (primarily snowmobile category) showed strong performance with growth of 28 percent. In local currencies, growth was stronger across all categories, with Offroad increasing by approximately 10 percent, Onroad by 5 percent, and Other by over 30 percent, highlighting solid underlying demand.

Other 34 26 77 69
Net revenue 421 401 1,835 1,816

Gross profit and gross margin

Gross profit amounted to SEK 174 (171) million, corresponding to a gross margin of 41.3 (42.6) percent.

The company deliberately positioned the sales prices during the period to support commercial initiatives, with the expectation of a short-term impact on profitability. This was offset by a reduction in performance marketing costs, resulting in a balanced overall outcome. Inventory levels are currently well aligned with demand, supporting a healthy position ahead of the high season. Continued efforts to enhance inventory quality, including targeted actions to optimize specific areas and reduce overstock, resulted in a net reversal of the provision for obsolete inventory of SEK 9 (4) million during the period.

Shipping costs for the purchase of goods of SEK -19 (-20) million corresponded to 4.5 (4.9) percent of net revenue. The in-freight cost ratio as a percentage of net revenue decreased slightly by 0.4 percentage points compared to last year. Please see Risks and factors of uncertainty section on page 9 for further details.

Operating costs

Sales and distribution costs amounted to SEK -124 (-132) million, equivalent to 29.6 (32.9) percent of net revenue, representing an improvement of 3.4 percentage points in the cost ratio. This improvement in the cost ratio was primarily driven by reductions in marketing costs and personnel expenses, which decreased both in absolute terms and relative to net revenue. This was despite an increase in net revenue during the period. Other significant costs, such as fees to payment providers and freight costs to customers, remained broadly stable as a share of net revenue. Depreciation and amortization decreased as expected, reflecting the completion of depreciation periods for several major investments made in previous years.

Administration costs were SEK -54 (-53) million, equivalent to 12.8 (13.1) percent of net revenue. Excluding items affecting comparability, these costs totalled SEK -48 (-50) million.

Included in the above operating costs, but excluding items affecting comparability, overhead costs totalled SEK -69 (-72) million. The combination of net revenue growth and reduced overhead costs underscores the scalability of the business model and reflects an improved operating leverage. During the quarter, an estimated total of SEK 6 million was spent on the transformation of the IT tech stack, primarily on external consultants and costs related to operating

parallel systems during the transformation phase. The estimate does not include costs for in-house staff.

Adjusted EBIT and EBIT

EBIT totalled SEK -4 (-15) million, corresponding to an operating margin of -1.0 (-3.6) percent.

Items affecting comparability totalled SEK -6 (-4) million, mainly related to a strategic project assessing venues for future growth. The project was completed during the period, and its outcomes may support future initiatives. Last year items affecting comparability referred to personnel costs following role changes.

Adjusted EBIT was SEK 2 (-11) million, equivalent to a margin of 0.5 (-2.7) percent.

Adjusted EBIT included the accelerated amortisation of trademarks to be discontinued totalling SEK -1 (-2) million. To boost private brand growth, the brand portfolio is being consolidated to focus investments on fewer brands. Several of the brands will be merged or discontinued, resulting in a total of SEK 16 million in accelerated amortisation by the second quarter of 2026.

Financial items

Financial income was SEK 2 (1) million, driven by a positive effect from the revaluation of financial balance sheet items and, in both periods, from interest income on deposits.

Financial expenses were SEK -4 (-20) million and comprised losses from the revaluation of currency derivatives, leasing expenses and credit facility fees. In the prior year, expenses were also negatively impacted by the revaluation of financial balance sheet items.

Taxes and result for the period

Tax totalled SEK -1 (-1) million and the result for the period was SEK -6 (-34) million.

Comments to the Group's cash flow

(Figures in parentheses refer to the equivalent period last year)

January – March 2026

Cash flow from operating activities was SEK 29 (-110) million, primarily driven by changes in net working capital. At the same time, EBIT improved from SEK -15 million to SEK -4 million.

Change in net working capital contributed positively to operating cash flow in an amount of SEK 28 (-115) million, representing a substantial improvement compared with last year. This development reflects successful inventory management actions taken during the year, resulting in a continued healthy stock level. The improvement is especially strong considering that the first quarter is seasonally the slowest period of the year.

Cash flow from investments totalled SEK 13 (-3) million, primarily reflecting a release of funds related to commercial deposits and guarantees, partly offset by the purchase of equipment for the distribution warehouse.

Cash flow from financing activities was SEK -5 (-7) million and consisted of leasing payments and, in the current quarter, trade loan movements.

Cash flow for the period was SEK 36 (-120) million, representing a significant improvement year-on-year and supporting a strong cash position. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period totalled SEK 273 (175) million.

Comments to the Group's financial position

(Figures in parentheses refer to the equivalent period last year)

Net working capital

Product availability remains a key driver of growth, customer satisfaction, and retention. Pierce continues to prioritize a strong and accessible assortment, supporting its position as a leading industry specialist with an extensive and attractive product range, competitive pricing, and fast, reliable delivery.

Net working capital amounted to SEK 149 (198) million, corresponding to 8.1 (11.8) percent of LTM net revenue of SEK 1,835 (1,673) million. The decrease reflects continued efforts to optimize working capital, particularly through improved inventory management. Inventory levels declined by SEK 5 million to SEK 485 million, and are now well balanced, supporting both operational efficiency and readiness ahead of the high season, while ongoing initiatives remain focused on further enhancing inventory quality and reducing overstock.

Right-of-use assets and leasing liabilities

Right-of-use assets amounted to SEK 98 (151) million and leasing liabilities to SEK 98 (146) million. The decrease is primarily attributable to depreciation, lease incentives related to the warehouse and reduced office space, as well as to negative foreign exchange translation effects.

Net debt / net assets and credit facility

The net cash position at the end of the period amounted to SEK 271 (175) million. Pierce has a credit facility of up to SEK 150 million, which was not utilised during the period. The credit facility is subject to certain financial covenants regarding the Group's leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio. Covenants are reported quarterly. As of 31 March 2026, Pierce was not in breach of the covenants under the current credit facility agreement.

Equity

The Group's equity at the end of the period amounted to SEK 660 (630) million. The SEK 30 million increase in equity is primarily attributable to the net profit in the last twelve-month period of SEK 27 million and to share-based compensation of SEK 3 million.

Significant events during the reporting period

New credit facility agreement

The Group has a renewed credit facility agreement in place with its existing banking partner, one of Sweden's largest banks, replacing the facility that was previously scheduled to expire in the first quarter of 2026.

Significant events after the end of the reporting period

Series C share issue

In April 2026, Pierce Group AB (publ) carried out a directed issue of 850,000 series C shares to Nordic Issuing AB to ensure the delivery of performance shares to participants in the LTIP 2025/2028 performance-based share program.

Impact of currency effects

In all material aspects, net revenue and the sum of total costs and investments are equivalent to payments received and payments made. Payments received during the last 12-month period in EUR, SEK and NOK accounted for 53, 14 and 10 percent respectively. With regards to payments made, EUR, SEK, USD and PLN accounted for 55, 19, 12 and 9 percent respectively. In order to reduce exposure to effects on earnings and cash flow due to exchange rate fluctuations, the Group utilised currency derivatives for certain currencies, including EUR, PLN and USD.

Furthermore, operating assets and operating liabilities in foreign currency are revalued at the end of each month. This revaluation refers primarily to operating liabilities including trade payables. Exchange rate fluctuations arising from revaluations of operating balance sheet items are reported net, primarily as a part of the cost of goods sold.

Pierce Group AB (publ)


Q1/2026

If leasing agreements have been signed in a currency other than the functional currency of each Group company, the leasing liability is revalued at each month-end close. These revaluation effects, as well as the revaluation of financial balance sheet items, are reported in financial net.

Employees

The average number of employees during the quarter amounted to 279 (311). Of these, 156 (189) were white collar workers in Sweden, Poland and Spain.

Seasonal variations

As the peak of the motorcycle season occurs in the second quarter, this time of the year generates the highest net revenue level of about 30 percent of total sales. The fourth quarter usually shows the second highest level of net revenue, due to "Black week" and Christmas sales, while the first quarter has the lowest impact on total net revenue, slightly exceeding 20 percent of total sales.

Parent Company

Pierce Group AB (publ), Corp. ID Number 556967-4392, is the Parent Company in the Pierce Group, and is a public limited liability company with registered office in Stockholm, Sweden. Since 26 March 2021, the Pierce share is listed on the Nasdaq Stockholm, Small Cap.

The object of the Parent Company's business is to own and manage real property and movable property and directly or indirectly, through subsidiaries, carry out sales of equipment, accessories, and spare parts for motorcycles and other vehicles, and carry out other operations consistent therewith.

During the quarter, net revenue totalled SEK 5 (4) million and was fully attributable to sales to Group companies. Financial net consisted of interest income from an intercompany loan. The net result before tax for the quarter was SEK -3 (-7) million. The Parent Company's equity at the end of the period was SEK 750 (750) million.

The CEO and CFO are employed in the Parent Company.

Risks and factors of uncertainty

The Group's operations and results are influenced by various external factors. Pierce Group continues to be primarily exposed to operational risks, including competition, market developments in local markets, the quality of delivered goods, particularly from Asia, inventory and product assortment risks, IT-related risks, and dependency on key individuals and suppliers. A more detailed description of these risks and Pierce Group's risk management strategy can be found in the Annual Report for 2025.

As in previous periods, inflation and the prevailing economic climate continue to impact consumer behavior and demand, affecting market conditions. Disruptions in global supply chains also persist, including ongoing challenges in key shipping routes, which continue to affect lead times and logistics planning.

Geopolitical developments continue to be monitored. While previously identified risks have not materially changed, tensions in the Middle East have received increased attention during the period. The situation remains volatile and difficult to predict, with early indications of potential rising input costs, particularly for products where oil is a significant component in production. This could affect future cost levels and margins.

In addition, changes in global trade policy continue to be monitored, particularly regarding tariffs among major trading regions. Although Pierce Group's direct exposure to U.S. trade flows remains limited, the broader impact on consumer sentiment and global trade dynamics may indirectly affect demand and supply chain stability.

Looking ahead, the combination of geopolitical factors and evolving trade conditions may continue to affect freight prices and other related costs. Pierce Group continues to monitor developments and evaluate measures to manage potential impacts on operations and financial performance.

The impact of the above-mentioned uncertainties on the financial and foreign exchange markets could have a negative effect on Pierce.

Financial risks include e.g., currency risks (see previous page), interest rate risks and the risk of not being able to obtain sufficient financing. E-commerce is characterised, amongst other things, by a sharp increase in sales during certain campaign periods. If Pierce's sales do not develop in line with the Group's expectations during these periods, this may negatively affect both the Company's results and financial position.

Pierce has a credit facility with one of the larger Swedish banks of up to SEK 150 million which was not utilised during the period. The credit facility is subject to certain financial covenants regarding the Group's leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio. Covenants are reported quarterly. As of 31 March 2026, Pierce was not in breach of the covenants under the current credit facility agreement.

For further information, see Note 6.

Pierce performs impairment testing for assets applying a discount rate considering the risk-free interest level. There is a risk that the risk-free interest level will increase and, as a result, the discount rate used to calculate asset values will also increase, something that could lead to the recognition of impairment of assets.

Q1/2026

Note 1 - Accounting principles

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 the applicable parts of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.

The Interim Report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Annual Accounts Act, Interim reports, and RFR 2 Accounting for legal entities.

None of the IFRS or IFRIC interpretations taking effect from January 1, 2026, have had any significant impact on the Group.

For the Group and the Parent Company, the same accounting principles, providing basis for calculations and assessments have been applied as applied in the Annual Report for 2025. For a description of

Information on future standards

None of the IFRS or IFRIC interpretations that are to come into force in 2026 are expected to have any significant impact on the Group.

In 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued a new accounting standard, IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements", that will be effective from 1 January 2027 and replace the existing IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements". IFRS 18 will require companies to revise the structure of the financial statements presented in the external reports, as well as revision of the applied principles for classification of income and expenses including those arising from derivatives and insurance contracts. Pierce Group will carefully evaluate and analyse the impact of the new standard on its' accounting policies, systems and processes. The Company will implement the necessary changes to ensure compliance with the new standard well in advance of the effective date of 1 January 2027.

the Group's applied accounting principles, see Note I and Note 2 in the Annual Report for 2025.

Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34.16A are shown in the financial statements and associated Notes in this information, in addition to pages 1-12 which form an integral part of this financial report.

All amounts in this report are stated in millions of Swedish kronor (SEKm) unless stated otherwise. Rounding variances may occur.

Segment reporting

The Group operates as a single business segment. Management monitors the business as a whole and does not allocate resources or assess performance based on separate operating segments.

Accordingly, no segment information is presented in these financial statements in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments.

Note 2 - Estimations and assessments

The preparation of the Interim Report requires that the Company's management make assessments and estimates, as well as assumptions that affect the application of the accounting principles and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual outcome may differ from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recognised in the period in which the change occurs, if the change affected only that period, or in the period in which the change is made and future periods if the change affects both the current period and future periods.

Important estimations and assessments can be found in Note 2 in the 2025 Annual Report. No changes have been made to these estimations and assessments that could have a significant impact on the financial report.

Note 3 - Revenue

The Group's revenue consists of the sale of goods via the Group's websites. Revenue is reported at a given point in time due to the fact that the conditions for control being transferred over time are not met. Geographical area is an important attribute when specifying revenue, and this is presented in the table below.

Note 4 - Financial instruments, fair value

Currency derivatives are the only instruments reported at fair value through profit/loss. Other financial instruments are valued at amortised cost in the statement of financial position, and the reported values corresponded in all material respects with the fair value.

In accordance with IFRS 13, the currency derivatives are classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Depending on the market valuation

at the reporting date, the instruments are recognised as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet.

The valuation of currency derivatives is based on official market data for exchange rates. At the end of the period, the fair value amounted to SEK -1 (-2) million and these derivatives were classified as current liabilities.

Q1/2026

Alternative Performance Measures

Financial measures not defined in accordance with IFRS

Pierce applies financial measurements in its interim reports which are not defined in accordance with IFRS. The Company believes that these measurements provide valuable supplementary information to investors and the Company's management. As not all companies calculate Alternative Performance Measures in the same manner, these measures are not always comparable with measures used by other companies. These financial measurements should, therefore, not be seen to comprise a replacement for measures defined according to IFRS.

Definitions

The interim report contains financial performance measures in accordance with the applied framework for financial reporting, which is based on IFRS. In addition, there are other performance measures and indicators which are used as a supplement to the financial information. These performance measures are applied to provide the Group's stakeholders with financial information for the purpose of analysing the Group's operations and goals. The various performance measures applied which are not defined according to IFRS are available on the Company's website, https://www.piercegroup.com/en/reports-presentations/, under the column "Financial data".
