Comments from the CEO

''Focus on execution of efficiency programme – good development in Nordic & Baltics and UK.''

Solna 24 October 2025 Magnus Lönn President & CEO

During the third quarter, implementation of the cost efficiency programme launched in the second quarter continued, with the primary focus on Business Unit West and Business Unit Central. Work is progressing according to plan and the first effects are beginning to show. At the same time, we delivered a quarter in line with our expectations, with continued good development in Business Unit Nordic & Baltics and improvements in Business Unit UK. We closed several significant deals in our cloud services and completed our first

The Group's total revenue amounted to SEK 1,084 million (1,133) during the quarter, with adjusted EBITA of SEK 76 million (79) and an adjusted EBITA margin of 7 per cent (7). The structural improvements currently being implemented, combined with a healthy order intake and increasing demand in our main markets, create good conditions for long-term, profitable growth.

commercial delivery of Proact Hybrid Cloud AI.

Nordic & Baltics leads the way – acquisitions strengthen position in the Nordic region

The Nordic & Baltics business unit continues to be a driving force in the Group's development, delivering good profitability and high customer satisfaction. The combination of local presence, in-depth technical expertise and a relevant, secure offering means that we are close to our customers and can respond quickly to changing needs. During the quarter, the region continued to show a strong adjusted EBITA margin of over ten per cent, well above the Group's long-term target of eight per cent. After good growth in the first half of the year, sales declined by just over four per cent in the quarter compared with the same period last year. The decline is explained by normal variations between quarters, mainly linked to system sales, and by a strong comparison quarter.

Business Unit UK continues to develop positively. The acquisition of BlakYaks at the beginning of the year has strengthened our position in cloud-based solutions and AI services, contributing to both increased growth and improved margins. It is particularly pleasing that the business area is showing organic growth and improved earnings in the quarter, in addition to the contribution from BlakYaks. This is the effect of increasing demand after a period of subdued investment appetite in the region, as well as the profitability improvement measures that have been implemented.

Sales development in Business Unit West and Business Unit Central remained challenging during the quarter. The measures now in place, together with intensified sales efforts and continued adjustments to the cost base, are creating conditions for gradual improvements over time. During the quarter, a number of new contracts for cloud services were also signed, which will contribute positively to the business areas going forward.

After the end of the quarter, we entered into an agreement to acquire Consular, a Danish IT company with extensive experience and a strong position in cloud solutions and data infrastructure. The acquisition strengthens our position in the Nordic market. This is a clear example of how we are growing according to our long-term model by giving our customers even better access to specialist expertise in modern infrastructure and cloud services.

Good order intake and commercial breakthroughs

The strength of our offering and our ability to win long-term customer commitments is confirmed by the quarter's total contract value (TCV) for new cloud services, which amounted to SEK 248.4 million (102.3) – one of the highest in Proact's history. The strong order intake creates a stable revenue base, and our standardised service portfolio provides economies of scale that strengthen future profitability. It is particularly pleasing that several of these deals were secured in the West and Central business areas.

Our AI initiative, Proact Hybrid Cloud AI, achieved its first commercial breakthrough during the quarter. Interest is high, particularly in the public sector and healthcare – areas where data sovereignty and regulatory compliance are crucial. Our new AI service enables customers to quickly access a complete AI environment with NVIDIA's powerful GPU computing capabilities, without having to make their own investments in infrastructure. This saves both time and costs, while our solution meets high standards of security and control.

Focus going forward – improvement, resilience and long-term growth

The cost efficiency programme announced in the summer has now been implemented and we are entering the next phase of the work. We are methodically evaluating our entire business and leaving no stone unturned to ensure a sustainable cost structure that strengthens profitability, increases our resilience and enables continued investment in growth and innovation. We have a clear direction and are seeing concrete progress.

We operate in a time characterised by geopolitical unrest, regulatory changes and a growing focus on digital sovereignty. This creates both challenges and opportunities. Our model – a reliable, independent European partner with a local presence and deep technical expertise – is becoming increasingly relevant. The need for security, control and trust in data infrastructure is growing rapidly, and Proact is well positioned.

The strong performance in Nordic & Baltics, the positive trend in the UK, the high TCV level in cloud services and the commercial breakthrough for our AI initiative confirms that our strategy is working. Together with our dedicated and skilled employees, we are continuing our journey of improvement with a focus on profitable growth, increased customer value and long-term competitiveness.

Group development

Revenue

July - September

The Group's total revenue for the third quarter amounted to SEK 1,083.5 million (1,132.5), corresponding to a decrease of 4.3 per cent compared with the same period last year. The decrease is explained by weaker system sales and high comparative figures for the Business Unit Nordic & Baltics, as well as challenging market conditions in the Business Unit West and Business Unit Central. This was partially offset by increased revenue in the Business Unit UK, mainly related to BlakYaks. Currency effects had a negative impact on revenue of 2.4 per cent (2.3). The acquisition of BlakYaks Ltd contributed positively with 2.6 per cent. Organically, revenue decreased by 4.5 per cent (8.8).

Revenue from system sales amounted to SEK 555.0 million (615.6), a decrease of 9.8 per cent, which is explained by lower sales in all regions. In Nordic & Baltics, performance was affected by several major deals during the comparison period, while weaker market conditions and challenges within the sales organisation contributed negatively to the outcome in both West and Central. Organically revenue decreased by 7.9 per cent.

Service revenue amounted to SEK 528.4 million (515.2), an increase of 2.6 per cent. Growth in the service business was mainly driven by strong developments in consulting and cloud services in Nordic & Baltics. In addition, increased service sales in the UK contributed, mainly as a result of BlakYak's positive development. However, growth was partially offset by weaker sales in the West and Central business areas. Revenue decreased organically by 0.1 per cent. The service business accounted for 48.8 per cent (45.5) of the Group's total revenue during the quarter.

New cloud service contracts were signed with a total value of SEK 248.2 million (102.3), with an average contract length of three to five years. Total cloud revenue decreased by 1.0 per cent to SEK 269.1 million (271.9), which is mainly explained by higher customer turnover in West and Central. Nordic & Baltics and the UK showed positive development but were unable to fully compensate for the decline. Revenue decreased organically by 1.7 per cent.

Recurring revenue, defined as revenue from cloud and support services, amounted to SEK 430.6 million (426.0), corresponding to an annual rate of SEK 1,722.5 million (1,704.1). This corresponds to an increase of 1.1 per cent compared with the previous year, driven by strong growth in support services.

January - September

For the nine-month period, the Group's total revenue amounted to SEK 3,470.8 million (3,595.7), corresponding to a decrease of 3.5 per cent. Currency effects had a negative impact of 1.8 per cent (-0.3). The acquisition of BlakYaks Ltd contributed positively with 1.8 per cent. Revenue decreased organically by 3.5 per cent (3.6).

System revenue decreased by 4.4 per cent to SEK 1,884.0 million (1,971.2) and organically by 3.0 per cent.

Service revenue amounted to SEK 1,582.3 million (1,619.3), a decrease of 2.3 per cent, of which the organic decrease amounted to 3.9 per cent. The service business accounted for 45.6 per cent (45.0) of the Group's total revenue for the period.

New cloud service contracts were signed during the nine-month period, amounting to SEK 511.9 million (418.8), with an average contract length of three to five years. Cloud revenue decreased to SEK 811.8 million (846.2), corresponding to a decline of 4.1 per cent and an organic decrease of 4.4 per cent.

Group Development

Result

July – September

Gross profit decreased by 4.6 per cent and amounted to SEK 261.3 million (273.9). Earnings were negatively affected by lower sales volumes in Nordic & Baltics and a challenging market situation in West and Central. The gross margin was unchanged during the third quarter and amounted to 24.1 per cent (24.2).

Sales and administrative expenses decreased by 2.7 per cent (8.3). Adjusted for currency effects and acquisitions, the cost reduction was 5.2 per cent (10.7). The reduction is a result of the cost efficiency programme and a lower level of variable remuneration due to lower sales.

Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 76.2 million (79.3), corresponding to a decrease of 3.9 per cent, as a result of lower revenues. The adjusted EBITA margin amounted to 7.0 per cent (7.0).

Earnings before tax amounted to SEK 45.0 million (62.1).

Earnings per share amounted to SEK 1.39 (1.92), as a result of lower sales.

January – September

Gross profit decreased by 8.7 per cent and amounted to SEK 823.5 million (901.7), while the gross margin for the nine-month period was 23.7 per cent (25.1). Positive developments in Nordic & Baltics and the UK helped to mitigate the effects of weaker results in West and Central.

Sales and administrative expenses decreased by 5.7 per cent (3.9) as a result of the cost efficiency programme. Organically, selling and administrative expenses decreased by 5.3 per cent (9.4).

Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 231.1 million (270.5), corresponding to a decrease of 14.6 per cent, which is mainly explained by lower revenues. The adjusted EBITA margin for the period amounted to 6.7 per cent (7.5).

Profit before tax amounted to SEK 131.9 million (214.2), as a result of lower sales and items affecting comparability.

To clarify the underlying development of the result, Proact reports items affecting comparability separately, defined as non-recurring and outside the ordinary business operations. For the nine-month period 2025, items affecting comparability amounted to SEK 28.9 million (0.0) and relate to transaction costs of SEK 4.2 million related to the acquisition of BlakYaks Ltd and SEK 24.7 million related to the cost efficiency programme initiated during the period.

Earnings per share amounted to SEK 4.10 (6.31).

Market overview

During the third quarter of 2025, the tech market continued to be characterised by economic uncertainty, rapid technological development and increased demands for security and compliance. At the same time, significant opportunities are opening up for companies that succeed in combining innovation, efficiency and trust in a market that is rapidly being transformed by AI, cloud services and the next phase of digitalisation.

Investments in AI continue, but the pace varies between geographies and industries. In Europe, we are seeing how the technology is increasingly being translated into concrete business benefits – especially in healthcare, industry and the public sector. However, there was a slight slowdown during the quarter, as many organizations prioritized consolidating previous initiatives rather than launching new ones. At the same time, the need for data capacity, real-time processing and robust information security remains high – and is expected to increase as more AI applications move from pilot to production.

Companies are increasingly looking for long-term partners who can offer more than just capacity – players who also deliver control, scalability and data sovereignty. Here, the combination of local presence and deep technical expertise becomes a clear competitive advantage, especially at a time when cloud strategies are being reevaluated, digital dependencies are being scrutinised and regulations are being tightened.

On a macroeconomic level, global uncertainty persists. Europe is affected by weak GDP growth, continued disruptions in supply chains and trade policy tensions, including those linked to US tariffs. Geopolitical conflicts continue to shape a business climate where resilience has become as crucial as innovation. Storage, backup and cyber security are no longer seen as support functions, but as core components for value creation and business continuity.

At the same time, sustainability requirements are being tightened. The EU's emerging ESG regulations are increasing the pressure on data access and control over the entire supply chain. For many organizations, this means a necessary transition, where technology choices and infrastructure solutions are becoming increasingly important for sustainability work.

Proact combines deep technical expertise with local understanding and offers both operational delivery and strategic guidance – from traditional data centres to cloud-based AI infrastructure, and hybrid solutions in between. As customers demand more customised and business-oriented solutions, we are strengthening our position as a partner for the most complex and business-critical IT needs.

For organizations that want to stand firm, think innovatively and act quickly, we are a partner that makes a difference – both today and in the future.

Key trends

  • Hybrid cloud adoption: The use of cloud services continues to grow as companies take advantage of the flexibility, scalability and cost-effectiveness of both public and private cloud platforms, especially hybrid cloud platforms.
  • Increased demand for Data Storage: The volumes of data that are created, stored and processed are growing rapidly. Technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, which are used to automate processes, optimize data-driven insights and improve decision-making, greatly contribute to the storage and processing of large volumes of data.
  • Digital transformation, artificial intelligence and machine learning: Digital transformation continues to be an important driver of innovation and efficiency. Disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning create a growing need for agile infrastructure development that supports moving and complex requirements.
  • Information security: As cyber threats become more common and more sophisticated, cyber security remains a top priority. Businesses are investing in advanced security solutions to protect their data and IT infrastructure from increased risks.
  • Sustainability and Regulation: Businesses face environmentally friendly methods and techniques to reduce their carbon footprint. Sustainability plays an increasingly important role in IT-related decisions, which is further reinforced by EU directives that require sustainability reporting.

Deep-dive: NIS2 – the next level of cybersecurity for a more resilient society

As digitalisation continues to permeate more areas of society, there is also a growing need to protect the systems and functions on which our modern lives are based. The new NIS2 legislation, which has already come into force in some countries, including Finland, and will soon be introduced in Sweden, among others, is the EU's response to the growing cyber threat. It represents a significant increase in requirements for both public and private actors. The aim is to create a more resilient and robust digital Europe, where critical operations can withstand and recover from serious incidents.

NIS2 covers not only municipalities and the public sector, but in principle all organizations that affect the basic functions of society. This applies to activities in the fields of energy, water supply, food production, waste management, transport and digital infrastructure – but also to private actors above a certain size, usually with a turnover of around SEK 50 million or more. In addition, the rules have an indirect effect on their entire supply chain, which means that even more companies are affected. In short: all organizations that are important for Sweden to function on a daily basis.

Figures from the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) show that there is still a long way to go in terms of cybersecurity. In a survey from January 2025, six out of ten Swedish organizations in the public sector did not even achieve level 1 of 4 in the MSB's model for information and cyber security. At the same time, only 5.2 per cent reached the expected level 3 – an increase from 2.8 per cent the previous year.

The statistics show that many organizations are still uncertain

whether they are affected by cyber attacks and lack the capacity to recover from a breach. It is precisely this vulnerability that NIS2 aims to address.

In-depth analysis, practical requirements and Proact's role

Fundamentally, NIS2 is about three things: control, resilience and responsibility. Organizations must be able to identify, manage and report incidents – but also ensure that operations can continue to function when something happens. A key part of this is a robust backup strategy. Being able to guarantee rapid recovery after an attack is crucial – not only for your own operations, but for the stability of society as a whole.

At the same time, NIS2 requires solutions that can quickly identify threats in real time, combined with clear processes and procedures. Technology alone is not enough – it is about building a security culture where processes, people and systems work together.

A particularly important aspect is the supply chain. A company is only as strong as its weakest link, and a breach at a subcontractor can quickly have consequences throughout the entire chain. That is why NIS2 requires organizations to also review and monitor their suppliers' security levels – from operations and cloud infrastructure to data storage and IT services. For Proact, this means, for example, that our partners must also meet the same requirements for security and continuity.

But technology and control are not enough without awareness. NIS2 requires regular cybersecurity training for all employees, and each organization must establish an incident response plan with clear procedures for reporting and follow-up. All actors covered by NIS2 are required to report serious security incidents, which makes it necessary to have effective processes in place before an attack occurs.

Success requires a holistic approach that combines risk management, technology and culture. This is where Proact can play a crucial role.

Through our services in risk assessment, security monitoring (SOC), backup and recovery, supply chain monitoring and cyber security training, we help organizations put the NIS2 requirements into practice. We support our customers in identifying risks, building resilience and creating a sustainable security culture over time.

NIS2 is not just a regulatory framework – it is an opportunity to take a strategic step towards a more resilient digital future. For organizations that act now, the directive will not be a burden, but an opportunity to stand stronger when the next attack comes.

Success factors for NIS2 compliance

  • Clear division of responsibilities decision-making processes for security, incident management and reporting must be established.
  • Continuous risk assessment identify and evaluate threats, including risks associated with suppliers and partners.
  • Robust backup and recovery strategy with tested procedures for rapid return to normal operations.
  • Real-time security monitoring detect and respond to anomalies before they lead to incidents.
  • Training and security culture regular training and awareness for all employees.
  • Supplier monitoring documented requirements and controls throughout the chain.
  • Incident response plan practised and well-established procedures for reporting, analysis and learning.

Transactions with related parties

No transactions between Proact and related parties, which have significantly affected the Group's position and profits, have taken place during the quarter.

Risks and uncertainty factors

Proact is not directly affected by ongoing conflicts in the world. However, developments in the global economy, in the form of inflation, exchange rate fluctuations, lower economic growth and disruptions in supply chains, may entail increased risks for Proact. Delivery disruptions linked to the global semiconductor shortage are currently having a limited impact on Proact, but new disruptions may adversely affect Proact's ability to deliver customer orders. The recently announced tariffs in the United States may also contribute to increased trade tensions and affect global markets, which could indirectly have knock-on effects for European players such as Proact.

Explanatory notes

Note 1. Accounting principle

The consolidated accounts for the interim report have been compiled in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The Parent Company's accounts have been compiled in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2 (Accounting for Legal Entities). The Group applies the same accounting principles as those described in the Annual and Sustainability report for 2024. All amounts are shown in SEK million (SEKm) unless otherwise stated. Rounding differences may occur and thus the sum of individual figures may differ from that presented. Unless otherwise stated, comparative figures in this report are presented in parentheses and refer to the corresponding period in the previous year.

Financial instruments

Proact's financial instruments consist of derivatives, accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued trade creditors, earn outs and interest-bearing liabilities.

Derivative instruments are recognized in the balance sheet as per the contract date and are valued at fair value, both initially and in subsequent revaluations. All derivatives are reported continuously at fair value with the value changes reported in the statement of comprehensive income within cost of goods sold for those derivatives that are linked to accounts payable and financial items for

the derivatives that are linked to financial leasing contracts. Derivatives are valued at fair value within level 2, i.e., fair value determined on the basis of valuation techniques with observable market data, either directly (as price) or indirectly (hence to price). All other financial assets have been classified as loans and receivables, which include accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents. All other financial liabilities have been classified as other financial liabilities valued at amortised cost, which includes accounts payable, accrued supplier costs and liabilities to credit institutions. Liabilities to credit institutions run at variable interest rates and reported interest rates are on a par with current interest on liabilities to credit institutions and other financial assets and liabilities with short maturities.

Earn outs are classified as level 3 and relates to long-term commitments. Long-term liabilities are measured at fair value through profit or loss. The carrying amount of additional purchase consideration maturing later than 1 year but within 3 years measured according to level 3 is SEK 142.8 million.

Based on this, the book values of all financial assets and liabilities are judged to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

The acquisition concerns 100 per cent of the shares and votes in BlakYaks Ltd. The acquisition was completed on March 17, 2025. The company is consolidated as of March 1.

There are items in the acquisition analysis that may be revalued because the companies have been in our ownership for a short time. This applies to all assets and liabilities in the acquisition balance sheet, but primarily customer agreements and goodwill. For this reason, the acquisition analysis is preliminary until twelve months after the acquisition date For this reason, only the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities are provided. Total acquisition costs charged to the result in the quarter amount to SEK 4.2 million.

Of the total purchase price of SEK 389.8 million, SEK 247.0 million was paid in cash at the time of acquisition, the remaining deferred purchase price will be paid over a period of 2.8 years provided that BlakYaks Ltd reaches the expected financial and established operational goals.

At the time of acquisition, the purchase price e exceeded the recognised assets of the acquired business, which resulted in a purchase price allocation giving rise to intangible assets.Goodwill in this acquisition is motivated by the fact that the acquisition is an important part of Proact's growth strategy with the ambition to broaden the offering and expand its presence in the company's key markets. The acquisition of BlakYaks Ltd strengthens Proact's market presence and expertise in cloud transformation and fully automated Microsoft Azure solutions, giving the company a strong position in the finance and insurance sectors with a focus on delivering valuecreating solutions to medium and large enterprises in the UK market, which is in line with the company's long-term strategy to offer its customers an even stronger and more competitive portfolio of nextgeneration infrastructure and platform solutions.

BlakYaks Ltd is a privately owned company with 50 employees and is based in England with its headquarters in London. The company has a customer base and offers that complements Proact's offering well.

During the quarter, BlakYaks Ltd contributed SEK 28.1 million in revenue and SEK 12.1 million in operating profit. If Proact had owned BlakYaks Ltd for the entire year, BlakYaks Ltd would have contributed approximately SEK 61,0 million to the Group's sales and an operating profit of approximately SEK 25 million.
