The issue of railway resilience has become increasingly relevant as demands rise and extreme weather events grow more frequent. Railcare provides part of the solution through culvert inspections and drainage measures - effective ways to prevent damage and enhance the railway's resilience.

CEO comments

Net sales in the third quarter totalled SEK 196.3 million (169.1), and operating profit amounted to SEK 30.2 million (20.3). This corresponds to an operating margin of 15.4 percent (12.0).

"We are delivering our strongest quarter ever in terms of both net sales and profit. High capacity utilisation in our transport operations, our largest segment, contributes to a strong overall margin for the Group. We are already seeing the results of our efforts to develop the organisation and our working methods, which bodes well for the future."

Our strongest quarter to date

The third quarter was our strongest ever, in terms of both net sales and profit. This positive development was mainly driven by our transport operations, supported by new standby assignments and the seasonally high volume of contracting transports. This creates strong leverage on the Group's overall margin, as it allows us to use our resources more efficiently. We have also achieved strong locomotive availability through closer collaboration between the Transport and Technology operations. This is a clear example of how improved collaboration and ways of working within the Group contribute to a stronger Railcare. The volume of contracting transports, which depends on the number of track replacements, begins to decline early in the fourth quarter, as most of this year's track work has now been completed.

The locomotive workshop in Långsele maintained high capacity utilisation, providing a boost to the Technology segment as a whole. As mentioned previously, the Technology segment will continue working to secure more external assignments, such as life extension projects and ongoing maintenance of locomotives and machines.

SUMMARY

Profit in the Contracting segment was impacted by an impairment of SEK 1.5 million related to a receivable from Rail Test Nordic, which was placed into bankruptcy during the quarter. Excluding this impairment, profit was in line with the previous year. In the UK, discussions are ongoing to secure a baseline level of assignments for the coming year, which will be crucial for the future of the UK operations. We expect these discussions to be concluded before the end of the year.

Record-high railway investments in the proposed national plan

On 30 September, the Swedish Transport Administration presented its proposal for a new national plan for transport infrastructure – covering both roads and railways – for the period 2026–2037.

The main focus of the plan is commuter travel, a more competitive business sector, and a strengthened national defence. Travel and transport are to become more reliable, efficient, and safe, while reducing their impact on the climate and environment. For the first time, the Swedish Transport Administration has set a target date for when the maintenance backlog is to be eliminated. For the railway, the target year is 2050.

"The priority areas in the new plan represent a strong opportunity for Railcare, as we have spent many years developing efficient machines and methods."

The long timeframe is due to the need to keep train traffic running throughout the process. Railways are prioritised in the plan, with around 80 percent of its named investments directed towards developing the existing railway network.

Socioeconomic benefit has been a guiding principle for the investments included in the plan. This means that maintenance projects have primarily been prioritised based on the overall benefit they deliver. In practice, this requires using the most efficient methods for carrying out maintenance work – methods that contribute to long-term robustness and reliability. This places new demands on the procurement process. The lowest price is not always the best long-term solution. Track access time for maintenance work is also crucial to keeping traffic running as much as possible.

The priority areas in the new plan represent a strong opportunity for Railcare, as we have spent many years developing efficient machines and methods. As maintenance needs increase alongside growing rail traffic, efficient maintenance methods will be essential to ensuring a robust and reliable railway in the long term. In this area, we are at the forefront and already a trusted supplier in the industry.

Financial summary - Group

NET SALES

Net sales in the third quarter of 2025 amounted to SEK 196.3 million (169.1), an increase of 16.1 percent on the corresponding period in the previous year. Sales in the Transport and Contracting segments increased by 23.2 percent and 8.9 percent, respectively. Capacity utilisation in both segments was high during the quarter, with the new standby contracts contributing positively to the sales growth.

Net sales in the first nine months of 2025 increased by 4.0 percent to SEK 497.4 million, compared to SEK 478.3 million for the corresponding period in the previous year. The increase is attributable to the Transport segment, where the new standby contracts initiated during the year, along with high capacity utilisation, have contributed positively to sales. Sales decreased in the Contracting and Technology segments. This was mainly due to low volumes of contracting assignments in the UK during the year, as well as the absence of turnkey projects within the Contracting segment.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses for the third quarter 2025 increased by 11.3 percent compared to the previous year. The cost increase was mainly volume-related, driven by higher locomotive and personnel costs.

Expenses increased by 6.8 percent for the first nine months of 2025 compared to the corresponding period last year. The cost increase was primarily attributable to the Transport segment and the new standby assignments, as well as personnel and equipment costs incurred in preparing the organisation for further growth.

The Contracting segment reduced its costs, due to a different mix of customer assignments involving lower subcontractor expenses.

OPERATING PROFIT

Operating profit (EBIT) for the third quarter 2025 increased by 48.7 percent year-on-year, amounting to SEK 30.2 million (20.3). Operating margin increased to 15.4 percent against 12.0 percent in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.

The improved operating margin was primarily attributable to the Transport and Technology segments. Thanks to high capacity utilisation and strong locomotive availability, the Transport segment increased its operating profit to SEK 22.8 million, up from SEK 15.0 million in the same period last year.

The Technology segment also reported positive operating profit of SEK 3.3 million, compared with a loss of SEK -0.9 million for the corresponding period last year.

Operating profit (EBIT) for the first nine-months 2025 amounted to SEK 52.7 million (52.5), which is a marginal increase year-on-year. Operating margin decreased slightly to 10.6 percent against 11.0 percent in the corresponding quarter of 2024.

The lower operating margin was largely attributable to the low volume of contracting assignments in the UK, which also resulted in some excess capacity within the Contracting segment.

PROFIT FOR THE PERIOD

Profit for the third quarter of 2025 totalled SEK 20.4 million (12.0). Interest expenses are at the same level as in the corresponding period last year.

Accumulated for the year, profit amounted to SEK 32.9 million (27.3). Interest expenses for the year are slightly higher than in the comparison period, but the currency effect for the Group is positive compared to the previous year.

CASH FLOW

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 59.2 million (45.4) for the third quarter 2025. Investments during the quarter totalled SEK 6.8 million

(15.7). Investments were financed with internally-generated funds which had a negative impact on cash flow. No new loans were raised during the quarter (24.1). Total cash flow for the third quarter totalled SEK 20.3 million (31.0).

Cash flow for the first nine months of 2025 amounted to SEK -39.0 million (1.0). During the year, SEK 11.8 million was raised in new loans, compared with SEK 54.0 million in the same period last year. This accounts for much of the weaker cash flow.

EQUITY/ASSET RATIO

At the end of the period, the equity/assets ratio was 28.2 percent, compared to 29.1 percent on 30 September 2024.

Financial summary - Contracting

Railcare's contracting operations carry out railway maintenance projects in both Sweden and the UK. Using our proprietary vacuum and ballast machines, we perform various types of railway track maintenance, such as cable location, cable laying, reballasting and snow clearing.

Another part of the contracting business specialises in culvert renovations focused on relining measures beneath railways and roads and at industrial sites, as well as permit inspections of culverts. The relining is carried out without disrupting rail traffic.

Net sales in the Contracting segment in the third quarter of 2025 amounted to SEK 72.6 million (66.6) an increase of 8.9 percent on the corresponding period in the previous year. Capacity utilisation in both the Contracting and Relining operations were strong in the quarter, which contributed to the increase in net sales.

Operating profit in the third quarter decreased compared to the corresponding period in the previous year, amounting to SEK 4.0 million (5.8).

Profit was impacted by an impairment of SEK 1.5 million related to a receivable from Rail Test Nordic, which filed for bankruptcy during the period.

During the quarter, the UK operation was affected by a minor fire in one of the vacuum machines, which disrupted ongoing assignments and had a negative impact on both sales and operating profit. Excluding the fire, the UK operation would have reported a positive operating profit.

Accumulated sales in the segment totalled SEK 184.0 million (204.6), corresponding to a decrease of 10.1 percent year-on-year. Operating profit totalled SEK 4.9 million (14.7), significantly down from the previous year.

The decrease in sales was largely attributable to the absence of turnkey projects within the Contracting segment. Lower volumes of contracting work in the UK also had a negative impact on sales.

The segments' net sales also include intra-Group sales between segments. See Note 3 for sales between segments.

Financial summary - Transport

In the Transport operations, Railcare offers railway transport using proprietary locomotives and drivers. The company provides freight, contracting and specialist transport, with transportation licenses in Sweden and Norway.

Railcare transports ore on behalf of the mining industry using round trips. For larger maintenance projects, Railcare provides traction for track replacement trains as well as transport of sleepers and ballast. The company also provides clearance locomotives on standby under assignment from the Swedish Transport Administration.

Net sales in the Transport segment increased by 23.2 percent in the third quarter of 2025 compared with the corresponding quarter last year, amounting to SEK 112.8 million (91.6). Operating profit increased compared to the preceding year and amounted to SEK 22.8 million (15.0).

The increase in net sales for the third quarter was largely explained by the high volume of contracting transports and the new standby contracts initiated during the year. Contracting transports, which depend on the number of track replacements, starts to decline early in the fourth quarter.

Strong locomotive availability, combined with high capacity utilisation, resulted in an operating margin of 20.2 percent (16.4) for the quarter.

Accumulated, sales amounted to 285.5 million (244.0), corresponding to an increase of 17.0 percent year-onyear. Operating profit amounted to SEK 42.4 million (37.2), up slightly on the previous year.

The segments' net sales also include intra-Group sales between segments. See Note 3 for sales between segments.

Financial summary - Technology

The Technology business includes Railcare's workshops, which build, convert, further develop, and sell machines and services to the railway industry.

Railcare's powerful vacuum technology is the foundation of our signature yellow maintenance machines – which have now been further developed to operate solely on electric and battery power. In the locomotive segment, Railcare specialises in life extension, modernisation, and the installation of traffic control systems.

The workshops also carry out overhauls, repairs, servicing, and ongoing maintenance on locomotives, machines, and wagons.

Net sales in the Technology segment in the third quarter of 2025 amounted to SEK 26.3 million (29.5), a decrease of 10.6 percent on the corresponding quarter in the previous year. However, operating profit was higher in year-on-year terms, amounting to SEK 3.3 million (- 0.9).

The increased operating profit is driven by high capacity utilisation in the workshops, where the earlier staff expansion is now contributing to improved efficiency and margins.

In Skelleftehamn, work is underway to complete the third electrically and battery-powered maintenance machine. At the same time, production is underway on the latest order - a Railvac machine for Norway's Baneservice - alongside an increased focus on external sales.

Accumulated, sales amounted to 92.5 million (97.6), corresponding to a decrease of 5.3 percent year-on-year. Operating profit amounted to SEK 5.0 million (1.0), up on the previous year.

The segments' net sales also include intra-Group sales between segments. See Note 3 for sales between segments.

Auditor's Report

Railcare Group AB (publ) Corp. ID no. 556730-7813 To the Board of Directors of Railcare Group AB (publ)

INTRODUCTION

We have reviewed the condensed Interim Report for Railcare Group AB (publ) as of 30 September 2025 and for the nine months period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

SCOPE OF REVIEW

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity.

A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden.

The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

CONCLUSION

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Interim Report has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.

NOTE 5 EFFECT OF ADJUSTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES IFRS 16

During Q4 2024, the company adjusted to the IFRS Interpretation Committee's clarification regarding identifiable assets under IFRS 16. The adjustment meant that Railcare reclassified certain locomotive lease contracts from capacity rent to leasing. The adjustment has been applied retroactively and calculated from the start dates of the contracts. The first contracts commenced in 2022. The following tables show the changes resulting from the adjustment for 2024.

All adjustments are attributable to the Transport segment.

  • 1) In the Income Statement, the cost of leasing is reallocated to depreciation and interest expenses. Under the previous principles, the leasing cost was included in the 'Raw materials and consumables' item, meaning that this item decreases while depreciation costs increase. This results in an overall increase in operating profit (EBIT). The adjustment results in an increase in financing costs due to interest expenses on the lease liability. Some of the lease agreements are denominated in EUR, so any fluctuations in the EUR exchange rate also impact net financial items.
  • 2) In the Balance Sheet, the contracts are recognized as an asset and depreciated over the contract term. The corresponding value is also recognized as a liability, which is amortized over the contract term. The interest is expensed. As some of the contracts are denominated in EUR, the liability is also recognized in EUR and is converted at the exchange rate as of the Balance Sheet date.

3) In the Cash Flow Statement, cash flow from operating activities increases, while cash flow from financing activities decreases.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, NOTES

Definitions

GENERAL All amounts in the tables are in SEK 000 unless otherwise stated. All values in brackets are comparative figures for the corresponding period in the preceding year unless otherwise stated. Amounts in tables and other summaries have been rounded individually. Accordingly, minor rounding differences may be found in totals.

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES

This Interim Report refers to a number of financial measures not defined in accordance with IFRS, known as alternative performance measures. Railcare uses these performance measures to monitor and analyse the financial outcome of the Group's operations and its financial position. These alternative performance measures are intended to supplement, not replace, the financial measures presented in accordance with IFRS. See definitions and further information below.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
MEASURES
DEFINITION/CALCULATION PURPOSE
Operating profit/loss (EBIT) Calculated as net profit/loss for the period before tax,
profit from holdings in associated companies and financial items.
This performance measure illustrates
the company's
profit/loss generated by operating
activities.
Net financial income/expense Net financial items are calculated as financial income
less financial expenses.
This performance measure illustrates
the net amount from
the company's financial activities.
Total assets Calculated as the total of the company's assets at the end of the
period.
Equity per share, SEK
Calculated as equity divided by the number of
shares outstanding at the end of the period.
This performance measure illustrates
the company's
net worth per share.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
MEASURES
DEFINITION/CALCULATION PURPOSE
Sales growth, % Calculated as the difference between net sales for the period and net
sales for the preceding period, divided by net sales for the preceding
period.
This performance measure illustrates
the company's
growth and historical performance,
contributing to an understanding of the
company's development.
Operating margin, % Calculated as operating profit divided by net sales. This performance measure illustrates
how much of the company's profit/loss
is generated by its operating activities.
Equity/assets ratio, % Calculated as equity divided by total assets. This performance measure illustrates
the company's
financial position and long-term
solvency.
Dividend per share, SEK Dividend per share approved by a General Meeting at which the
Annual Report for the specified financial year is adopted.
Earnings per share before
dilution, SEK
Calculated as profit/loss attributable to Parent Company
shareholders divided by the weighted average number of
shares outstanding in the period.
This performance measure illustrates
the company's
earnings per share, excluding any
dilution effect from
outstanding convertibles.
Earnings per share after
dilution, SEK
When calculating earnings per share after dilution,
the weighted average number of shares
outstanding is adjusted for the dilution effect of all potential shares.
The Parent Company has a category of potential common shares with
a dilution effect: convertible debentures. The convertible debentures
are assumed to have been converted into shares and net profit is
adjusted to eliminate interest expenses less tax effect. Convertible
debentures do not give rise to a dilution effect when the interest per
share that may be received upon conversion exceeds earnings per
share before dilution.
This performance measure illustrates
the company's
earnings per share, excluding any
dilution effect from
outstanding convertibles.
