PROFIT PER SHARE AFTER DILUTION FIRST QUARTER
Continued growth and stronger market position
During the quarter, Prevas increased its turnover to SEK 430.7 million (approx. 6 percent) and delivered an EBITA of SEK 35.6 million (8.3 percent) with a strong cash flow of SEK 32.2 million. The result was affected by a lower utilization rate and a negative calender effect equivalent to approximately SEK 5 million. Profit per share after dilution was SEK 1.75.
It is pleasing to note that our focused sales work is having an impact, despite the fact that the market remains cautious. We have entered into a number of strategically important deals during the quarter, from major EAM projects and automation projects to development assignments. At the same time, we are continuing to grow within both consultancy services and commitments for customers within defense and energy, which is proof of our expertise and the level of trust we have built up. In order to meet demand and further strengthen our position, we are now investing in extended strategic sales resources, with particular focus on continue growth in the defense sector.
In parallel with this, we are working conscientiously to secure our profitability. In regions were there is less demand, we
have taken measures including capacity adaptations and a clear focus on costs. During the quarter, we have also welcomed new managers in locations where we can see opportunities to both strengthen profitability and develop our business.
We have not yet seen any direct impact from the global situation and the altered customs rules, but we are aware that several of our customers are being affected. At the same time, we are prepared and have both the expertise and the capacity to act quickly should the situation change.
Improved margin and increased order book in Finland
Profitability has improved in Finland during the first quarter, which is a consequence of our focus on sales in combination with operational activities. One clear indication is the fact that we signed orders worth approximately SEK 90 million in Finland during the first quarter, and we are also seeing a good start to the second quarter.
Our team in Finland are experts in the field of engagement projects, and we are now launching projects that will be delivered towards the end of 2025 and during 2026. In parallel with our long-term investments and assignments, we are working actively to grow within traditional consulting operations, which is an important aspect when it comes to ensuring a good activity rate in the short term as well. Our Finnish team will play an important role in strengthening our profitability in 2025, although it may take longer than we had wanted. We are looking forward to more synergies and exciting business collaborations.
Continued strategic development through the acquisition of OIM Sweden AB
Prevas has made significant strategic advances during the previous year, and now has a strong Nordic platform through the acquisitions of Enmac in Finland. We are continuing with our strategy of growing both organically and through acquisitions on all our markets. After the end of the period, we have entered into an agreement regarding the acquisition of 80 percent of OIM Sweden AB, assuming regulatory approval. OIM Sweden, which is based in Malmö, is a development house that focuses on the development of medical
instruments and devices. It has around 40 employees and a turnover of approximately SEK 40 million. Alongside our existing operations in Malmö and Lund, we are now building the region's strongest development house, with around 120 employees and cutting-edge offerings within product development, advanced testing and measurement systems, as well as user experience.
I am proud of being able to work together with the Nordic region's leading team which, with its passion for advanced technology, is helping to solve the world's challenges. The entire team is working conscientiously to achieve our financial goals and strengthen our long-term success.

Financial information
Group
Turnover
January - March
Net turnover amounted to SEK 430.7 million (407.1), an increase of SEK 23.6 million and 5.8 percent. The increase in turnover attributable to acquisitions made in 2024 amounted to 11.9 percent.
The number of working days amounted to 62 (63). Net turnover per employee amounted to SEK 435 thousand (471).
Profit/loss
January - March
Operating profit before depreciation/amortization and write downs EBITDA amounted to SEK 47.2 million (62.4), which gives an EBITDA margin before depreciation/amortization and write downs of 11.0 percent (15.3).
The operating profit EBITA amounted to SEK 35.6 million (53.5), giving an EBITA margin of 8.3 percent (13.2). Turnover and EBITA were affected by a lower utilization rate and a negative calendar effect. Taking into account that the quarter contained one working day less compared to the same period previous year, the EBITA margin amounted to 9.3 percent. If the impact of the Finland segment on revenue and earnings is also eliminated, in addition to the calendar effect, the EBITA margin amounted to 10.4 percent.
The operating profit EBIT amounted to SEK 32.0 million (44.2), giving an EBIT margin of 7.4 percent (10.9). EBIT was negatively affected by acquisition-related costs by SEK 3.5 million (9.2). Acquisition-related costs are reported in the income statement under the headings Other external costs SEK 0.1 million (7.0), Personnel expenses SEK 0.4 million (0.4) and Amortization of intangible fixed assets SEK 3.0 million (1.8). Operating expenses have fallen, which can primarily be explained by a lower acquisition-related costs compared to the corresponding period in the previous year. The increase in personnel costs was mainly attributable to the operations in Finland, which were acquired on July 1, 2024.
Compared to the corresponding period in the previous year, net financial items have been affected by increased interest expenses of SEK -2.3 million resulting from loans taken out in connection with the acquisition of Enmac, as well as SEK -1.3 million in respect of items linked to right of use assets, reduced interest income of SEK -0.8 million and positive currency effects amounting to SEK 1.4 million.
The tax expense amounted to SEK -6.5 million (-11.2), equivalent to a tax rate of 22.1 percent (25.1). The relatively high tax rate in the quarter and the corresponding period previous year can mainly be explained by costs that are not tax deductible. The comparative quarter in 2024 was mainly Net turnover, MSEK

EBITA, MSEK EBITA Margin, %
affected by non-deductible transaction costs related to Enmac.
Profits after tax amounted to SEK 23.1 million (33.3).
The period was one working day shorter than the corresponding period of the previous year, which affected the operating profit/loss, EBITDA, EBITA and EBIT negatively by approximately SEK 5 million.
Cash flow, cash and cash equivalents and financing
January - March
Cash flow from operating activities for the quarter amounted to SEK 32.2 million (27.1). The improvement in cash flow from operating activities compared with the corresponding period in the previous year was reflected in part through a reduction in tax paid of SEK 8.8 million. Adjustments for items not included in cash flow included increased depreciation and amortization (SEK 4 million) and increased unrealized exchange differences (SEK 3.5 million) compared with the corresponding period in the previous year. The improvement in working capital can also be explained in part by reduced customer receivables of SEK 9.3 million and reduced other current receivables of SEK 11 million. Working capital was negatively impacted by lower operating liabilities compared with the corresponding period in the previous year, primarily as a result of reduced prepayments from customers.
Financing operations have been affected by repayments made on loans taken out in connection with the acquisition of Enmac in 2024, amounted to SEK -12.4 million. In the previous year, the final calendar day in March fell on a weekend, which is why the repayment on earlier loans was not made until the
first, subsequent working day of April 2024, and consequently did not affect cash flow in the corresponding quarter.
Available cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 48.9 million (130.1). The overdraft facility of SEK 100 million (0) was not utilized.
Financial position
Equity at the end of the quarter for the Group amounted to SEK 708.7 million (675.2), giving an equity ratio of 50.3 percent (60.9). Equity attributable to owners of the parent company amounted to SEK 50.67 (50.20) per share before dilution and SEK 50.67 (49.96) per share after dilution. Right of use assets increased to SEK 146.3 million (48.8), which was mainly explained by the acquisition of Enmac and the revaluation of terms of use for premises at the end of the previous year.
Prevas' balance sheet remains strong and net debt/EBITDA was assessed as being well below our target of 2 in the coming quarter as well.
Employees
The average number of employees in the first quarter was 990 (865), of whom 727 (749) were in Sweden, 76 (72) in Denmark, 143 (n/a) in Finland, 20 (17) in other segments and 24 (27) centrally.

In April, Prevas entered into an agreement regarding the acquisition of 80 percent of OIM Sweden AB (556849-9411). The acquisition is conditional upon regulatory approval, which may take one to two months. The acquisition is expected to be completed in the beginning of the third quarter of 2025.

The Parent Company
January - March
Turnover amounted to SEK 222.2 million (222.1) and the profit after financial items amounted to SEK 17.3 million (25.6).
Turnover and EBITA were affected by a lower utilization rate and a negative calendar effect, as the quarter contained one working day less compared to the first quarter previous year.
Interest expenses increased by SEK -2.3 million compared with the corresponding quarter previous year. This increase was attributable to loans taken out in connection with the acquisition of Enmac. The impact of the revaluation of loans and currency holdings in foreign currencies had a positive net effect of SEK 1.6 million (0.1) during the quarter.
Risks and uncertainty factors
Prevas is relatively unaffected by the aggressive and terrible invasion of Ukraine, which has resulted in so much human suffering. Prevas has no employees, partners or customer assignments in Russia or Ukraine. Other aspects such as inflation, problems with transport, raw goods, materials and semiconductor components create overall uncertainty for the future and especially for our customers. These are risks that are difficult to assess, and Prevas' strategy to address them is to be as adaptable and dynamic a company as possible.
We have not yet seen any direct impact from the global situation and the altered customs rules, but we are aware that several of our customers are being affected. At the same time, we are prepared and have both the expertise and the capacity to act quickly should the situation change.
The market remains strong in areas such as automation, electrification, energy and the defense industries and work with sustainability. In other areas Prevas can see a more normalized market compared to previous report periods. Prevas has a good influx of assignments, enquiries and other opportunities. Prevas experiences a competitive labor market
where it is important to work actively with employer branding, in order to both retain staff and to attract new employees to Prevas. Prevas has worked for a number of years to establish itself as an attractive employer. A job that turned out well. The fact that Prevas is seen as an attractive employer with exciting assignments and development opportunities will continue to be important factors in the future.
Ever greater requirements for information security. With the digitalization of society, the risk of confidential data being stolen, disseminated to unauthorized persons and thus causing damage is increasing. Prevas works actively with systematic information security, which means continuously working preventively, and adapting the protection based on the organization's needs and risks.
It is Prevas' assessment that the risks are generally unchanged during 2025. More information about Prevas' risks and their management can be found in the Annual Report for 2024. It is the company's evaluation that the risks are the same for the parent company.

*) The definitions of EBITDA and EBITA were adjusted in Q1 2024 for the purpose of improving analysis of the operating activities between periods. Acquisition related items and write downs of intangible assets are no longer included in EBITDA and EBITA. Write downs of acquisition related intangible assets and revaluing and present value calculation of contingent considerations have, as previously, no impact on EBITDA and EBITA. The key ratios for 2023 have been recalculated. See our definitions of EBITDA and EBITA on the website at www.prevas.se/rapporter.
