OCTOBER-DECEMBER SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE QUARTER

Rejlers and E.ON have entered into a framework agre-

ement that strengthens the collaboration regarding technical consulting services and sustainable energy solutions. Rejlers and E.ON will jointly take important steps towards the energy landscape of the future by contributing to the transition towards a more sustainable and climate-friendly energy supply. The agreement runs for three years with the possibility of extension for a further year.

Rejlers and AECOM have together won a strategically important assignment for the Swedish Transport Administration in the development of the North Bothnia

Line, one of Sweden's most important infrastructure investments. The collaboration includes the development of railway plans and public roads in Piteå municipality north and south of Piteå urban area.

Rejlers has entered into a collaboration with Aenigma to jointly take the next step in becoming a leading player in the delivery of EPCM projects, with a focus on supporting the transition to more resource-efficient and circular industries.

The Helsinki Metropolitan Area Transport Ltd. has approved the construction of a new tram depot in Forsby, Helsinki. Rejlers, which is a part of the alliance commissioned for the project, will bring strong expertise in technical building services and energy design to the project and is responsible for designing the HVAC, automation, energy, electrical and sprinkler systems.

Gasgrid Finland and Rejlers have entered a significant framework agreement to support the engineering and project services of the methane transmission network. The new partnership with Rejlers will cover essential areas such as planning new pipeline routes, conducting maintenance, and expanding the network to accommodate new producers and users.

Rejlers' ambitious science-based targets for reducing emissions have been officially validated. This significant milestone aligns with Rejlers' long-term sustainability strategy, designed to drive positive change across the industry.

Rejlers has been tasked by Equinor ASA to develop an integrated solution for the new CO₂ quality monitoring system in Northern Lights' existing CO₂ storage facility. Rejlers' assignment has begun and the initial FEED study is expected to be completed in the beginning of 2025. Should the EPC phase be activated, the entire upgrade is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2025.

Rejlers has entered a partner agreement with Cirkulär Live, a groundbreaking project that aims to revolutionise the live entertainment industry through sustainable and circular solutions. In collaboration with All Things Live and Chalmers Industriteknik, Rejlers will apply its expertise in energy and technology to reduce climate impact and create new standards for future events.

NEW RECORD QUARTER, EBITA EXCEEDS SEK 100 MILLION

For 2024, Rejlers' annual sales increased to SEK 4,430.7 million (4,088.3), a growth of 8.4 per cent, of which 4.8 per cent is organic. At the same time, EBITA for the full year increased by 15.1 per cent to SEK 352.3 million (306.2), another new record for Rejlers.

Sales for the fourth quarter increased to SEK 1,223.3 million (1,132.6), a growth of 8.0 per cent, of which 6.8 per cent was organic growth. EBITA for the quarter increased to SEK 103.4 million (90.5). We thereby ended the year by achieving for the first time an EBITA in excess of SEK 100 million for a single quarter. Adjusted for non-recurring costs of SEK 10 million, mainly related to a savings programme in Norway, EBITA amounted to SEK 113.4 million, compared with SEK 100.5 million in the previous year.

Good growth and profit development

In light of a fairly varied picture in terms of the economy and demand, Rejlers provided good growth and profit development throughout the year thanks to good utilisation and generally improved hourly fees. If we broaden the time perspective to the past five years, we see that Rejlers has had an organic growth of more than 5 per cent on average, which is among the highest levels in the industry. Organic growth will remain a high priority in the future as well, along with redoubled efforts in the search for possible new acquisitions.

"Rejlers has provided good growth and profit development throughout the year thanks to good utilisation and generally improved hourly fees."

Two markets hit the targets

Demand remained strong in energy and infrastructure, and fairly good in industry, while the construction and property industry was challenging. The best development in both the fourth quarter and full-year 2024 was Rejlers' two largest markets Sweden and Finland (which also includes our rapidly growing operations in the United Arab Emirates). In the fourth quarter, both in Sweden and Finland, we achieved our financial target of an EBITA margin of at least 10 per cent. Finland achieved a record-breaking EBITA margin of 10.9 per cent. In our smallest market Norway, the fourth quarter was again weak, as a result of the exposure to the construction and property industry, but also due to internal restructuring.

Norway is being prepared for the future

In the fourth quarter, we replaced more than half of the management of Rejlers Norway, including the CEO, and initiated and implemented a savings programme that is estimated to lower costs on an annual basis by SEK 10 million, effective as of the first quarter of 2025. The adjustment to the prevailing economy guarantees a better 2025 under the direction of the previously acting CEO, Ragnar Holtan, who is being appointed the permanent CEO of Rejlers Norway as of today. He has my absolute confidence in the work of creating a profitable and growing business to be proud of.

Some personal reflections

Rejlers looks like it will be able to deliver on large parts of the targets we set in 2018 with a view to the end of 2025. Our sales have doubled since 2018 and the EBITA margin has increased to around 8 per cent from a previous five-year average of 2.5 per cent (2012-2017). At the same time, earnings per share have grown by more than 1,000 per cent. In the spring, we will be taking aim again with an updated strategy that sets our sights on 2030. The energy, the belief in the future and the confidence that I experienced when all of our 275 managers from four countries recently gathered for a joint leadership forum in Stockholm fill me with confidence for the future. Go Rejlers!

Greater focus on sustainability

In 2023, we supplemented our overall strategy with a sustainability strategy that extends to 2030 and further strengthens our position, with a focus on being a catalyst in our customers' transition. We are now working intensively to implement the strategy throughout our operations, through the development of action plans and follow-up.

Our focus areas for our customers' transition are contributing to the energy transition, industrial transformation and future-proofing societies. In addition to high internal ambitions and targets, we will carry out sustainability analyses in our customer assignments with the aim of supporting the customers in the work of achieving their sustainability objectives. This creates both business and accelerates the transformation in society.

As a part of our focus on sustainability, we adopted science based climate targets for the short term (2030) and the long term (net zero by 2050) through the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi). In addition to this, we focus extensively on implementing the sustainability strategy's four internal priorities: Climate action, Business ethics, Inclusive workplaces and Healthy employees. Our three focus areas and internal priorities also support the preparation work for the reporting according to CSRD.

The Share

The total number of shares in Rejlers AB is 22,106,849, of which 1,749,250 Class A shares (ten votes per share) and 20,357,599 Class B shares (one vote per share).

In May 2023, with the support of the share issue authorisation from the Annual General Meeting in 2023, a private placement of 1,725,000 Class B shares was carried out at a subscription price of SEK 145 per share. The share issue thereby raised around SEK 250 million for the company, which was mainly used for repayment of credit facilities that Rejlers AB raised in connection with the acquisition of Eurocon Consulting AB.

In 2019, the Group issued designated convertibles to employees in senior positions. In August 2022, 233,220 Class B shares were issued in connection with the conversion of parts of the convertible programme. The remaining outstanding convertible programme from 2019 amounted to SEK 24 million and no convertibles were converted to shares on the last day of subscription on 14 February 2024. Consequently, no share-related programmes are in progress.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE PERIOD

Ragnar Holtan appointed the permanent CEO of Rejlers Norway

Ragnar Holtan, who was named the acting CEO of Rejlers Norway in October 2024, was appointed by Rejlers as the permanent CEO of Rejlers Norway. Ragnar Holtan holds a Bachelor of Marine Electrical Automation from the University of South-Eastern Norway and joined Rejlers in 2022 through the acquisition of Omega Holtan, of which he was the founder and CEO. Ragnar has long and extensive experience of managing technical consulting firms and has successfully developed the Industry and Energy divisions in Rejlers Norway since joining the company. In the past few months, Ragnar has led the work of implementing a plan to turn developments around and strengthen the position of Rejlers Norway in the market.

Rejlers designs electrical and HVAC systems for Espoo House in Finland

Espoo House will serve as a new architectural and technical landmark in Espoo, part of Finland's Helsinki metropolitan area. The building, which will encompass a total area of approximately 19,500 square meters, will host the city's administration, decision-making functions, and services for residents. Rejlers is responsible for both HVAC and electrical design in the project, highlighting its strong expertise in managing complex and demanding design challenges. Rejlers is committed to ensuring the building's technical solutions align with the highest standards of energy efficiency, adaptability, comfort, and safety.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Rejlers Sweden reported strong earnings for the fourth quarter. Sales increased by 8.1 per cent to SEK 771.6 million (713.9) and EBITA increased to SEK 80.4 million (70.4) despite an uncertain market. This positive development is driven by a clear focus on sales, aimed at both new and existing customers, which has resulted in an increased inflow of business. The continued improvement in hourly fees contributes positively to the margin, while organic growth underscores Rejlers' attractiveness among engineers.

The Swedish market continued to be characterised by some uncertainty in the fourth quarter. Demand in infrastructure was stable and areas such as energy transition and large parts of industry are showing strong growth. The defence, energy and chemical industries in particular stand out as sectors with a continued positive development. The uncertain economy, together with factors such as higher material costs, dampens the willingness of the customers to invest, especially in the property sector.

The Buildings division reported strong earnings during the quarter. Despite a waitand-see market in the construction and property sector, the division succeeded in increasing both sales and margins. This was made possible through improved internal efficiency and increased hourly fees. Demand for the division's expertise is stable and contributed to a stronger influx of business during the quarter.

The Industry division continued to show strong growth and improved margins, mainly affected by higher fees and a stable order backlog. Demand for Rejlers' expertise and project deliveries remains strong in the chemical, mining, steel, water and defence industries, despite a somewhat more cautious market situation. During the quarter, the digital offering and operations in Defence & Security were integrated into the Industry division. This strengthens and clarifies the company's position in industrial transformation, energy transition and the development of future-proof societies. The division has won several interesting deals including a three-year framework agreement with St1 Refinery.

The Infrastructure division provided continued stable earnings and margins, driven by a high order volume, a broadened customer base and increased hourly fees. The market for infrastructure services in the transport sector remains very strong throughout Sweden, while the market for other infrastructure services is good, but somewhat varied. Order bookings during the quarter were high, which creates good conditions for a continued positive development. Among the many assignments secured during the period, the division's largest individual project planning assignment to-date – a development project for the North Bothnia Line railway – stands out and will play a significant role in the division's development in the next few years.

The Energy & Telecom division reported a strong profit in the fourth quarter, driven by a high order volume and higher hourly fees. Demand for the division's services remains stable, and the acquisition of Solvina in the nuclear power area had a positive impact. Within Telecom, the market situation is stable, and we see clear synergies when we combine our telecom expertise with energy transition. During the quarter, among other assignments, Rejlers won a framework agreement for future energy solutions by E.ON.

REJLERS FINLAND EBITA, SEK MILLION

Rejlers Finland reported a very strong fourth quarter. Sales increased by 11.1 per cent to SEK 378.7 million (340.7) compared with the same period of the previous year and EBITA increased to SEK 41.1 million (24.9). The margin was 10.9 per cent and exceeded 10 per cent for the third consecutive quarter. The company's focus on sales, higher fees and an increased utilisation rate has made positive contributions to profitability.

The market for Rejlers' services in Finland is characterised by some restraint and tough competition, especially regarding new investments. Long-term demand is driven by the green transition, fossil-free energy production, innovative energy storage solutions and electrification. Rejlers Finland has strengthened its position by successfully taking on major industrial projects that support the customers' transition.

The Buildings division reported a satisfactory fourth quarter despite a challenging market in structural engineering and architecture. However, areas such as heating, ventilation, sanitation and electrical engineering continued to develop positively. During the quarter, the division secured several significant assignments, including the electrical design for Espoo House in Espoo and the construction of a new tram depot in the capital area. The tram depot is a sustainability-driven project that aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, promote the circular economy and achieve environmental certification.

The Industry division reported a very strong fourth quarter in a market characterised by tough competition. During the year, the utilisation rate improved considerably, at the same time that profitability increased significantly compared with the previous year. Among the quarter's successes are a significant agreement on the maintenance and development of the transmission network for methane for Gasgrid Finland. The division has also won several deals for the defence industry. Existing framework agreements with key customers in chemicals, refining and biomaterials contribute to maintaining a stable and high utilisation rate.

The Infrastructure division continued to strengthen its profitability in the fourth quarter; a development that can be attributed to the internal change work carried out in 2023. During the quarter, the division delivered successfully in several assignments from existing customers. The market is expected to recover in 2025 driven by higher public financing. At the same time, Rejlers is preparing to meet the tough competition that is expected when the market is strengthened and new projects are started.

The Sustainable Energy Solutions division delivered a satisfactory fourth quarter,

despite a somewhat weaker market and tough competition. The Networks business continued to develop positively in electrical metering services, at the same time that the development in telecoms was stable and power grids were impacted by some project delays. During the quarter, Networks signed several significant framework agreements, which strengthen the long-term business base and create good conditions for future growth. At the same time the Technical management consulting business has successfully delivered in several projects.

Rejlers Abu Dhabi reported a very strong quarter, with a significantly improved profitability compared with the previous year, at the same time that the business grew strongly. During the quarter, two large detail engineering contracts were secured. In 2024, Rejlers Abu Dhabi successfully continued to expand its operations in the country. In early December, the new Rejlers office was inaugurated in India, which will support the operations in Abu Dhabi. The market in the United Arab Emirates is expected to remain strong in 2025.

Rejlers Norway reported weak earnings for the fourth quarter, impacted among other things by non-recurring costs for reorganisation and structural changes totalling SEK 10 million. Sales increased by 9.5 per cent to SEK 88.8 million (81.1) and EBITA was SEK -11.2 million (2.6). Adjusted for non-recurring costs, EBITA amounted to SEK -1.2 million. Earnings were also weighed down by continued weak demand in the property sector, which impacted the Buildings division, a central part of the operations in Rejlers Norway.

During the quarter, new management took office, with Ragnar Holtan as acting CEO and Josefin Hafsteen as CFO. In connection with our publication of this report, Ragnar Holtan is being appointed the permanent CEO. This change, together with Ragnar's background and industry experience, means that our offering in the future will focus even more on industry and infrastructure. The new management has and will take steps to strengthen profitability as of 2025, where already implemented restructuring is expected to contribute around SEK 10 million in lower costs on an annual basis, effective from January 2025.

The Norwegian market remains challenging with low activity in the construction sector,

especially for residential and commercial properties. At the same time, the outlook is strong in Industry and Infrastructure, where large national projects drive growth. The energy segment is expected to benefit from significant infrastructure investments in the next few years.

The market for the Buildings division remains weak, but shows signs of recovery and several projects moved forward are expected to start in the first quarter. To meet these challenges, the division has made adjustments and plans for further adjustments in the first quarter of 2025. In the fourth quarter, the division won several strategically important projects, including projects for Jensen & Skodvin Arkitekter and Læringsverkstedet's preschools.

The Electrical Safety division showed stable development with long-term projects

and a solid customer base that continued to extend and expand its agreements. This strengthens the image of Rejlers' ability to build long-term and trusted relationships. Moving forward, focus will be on optimising the operations and managing the increased volume of assignments that is expected in 2025.

The Infrastructure division continued its good development in the fourth quarter, mainly driven by growth in the railway sector and long-term framework agreements that provide a stable foundation. To meet the need for capacity, resources are used from Rejlers Sweden, which shows Rejlers' strength in delivering resources from the entire Group and thereby strengthening the division's offering in the face of growing demand. During the quarter, the detailed planning of the Østfold Line began and is intensifying in the first quarter, and the division also won a project for the Port of Oslo.

The Industry & Energy division developed positively in the fourth quarter and achieved Rejlers' goal of a higher share of large projects. The two divisions were merged during the quarter and have since shown strong growth and good profitability. To meet the increased demand, the division successfully used capacity from the Buildings division and resources from Sweden and Finland. During the quarter, there was a significant increase in both existing assignments and new projects, especially in CO2 sequestration and control services. In addition, several extensive development projects in the transport sector were successfully delivered. During the quarter, the division won several important contracts, including contracts with Northern Lights, Sporveien and GE Power Norway AS.

Giant investments are taking place in fossil-free production through electrification, energy storage and emerging hydrogen-based solutions. There is also a great interest in carbon capture and storage. Industry is pursuing the transition to a resource-efficient, circular economy through new business models, process redesign, material changes, enhanced recycling and innovative reuse of industrial waste. Increased focus on careful review and follow-up of the value chain is contributing to redrawing the industry map and it is increasingly common for production to be placed near the end market.

OTHER INFORMATION

Accounting policies

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and interpretations from the Interim Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) as adopted by the EU. The Parent Company's reports are prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities. The Group applies the same accounting policies as described in Note 2 in the Annual Report for 2023 and no new standards, or other IFRS or IFRIC interpretations, which have not yet entered into effect or entered into effect during the financial year, are expected to have any material impact on the Group.

Financial instruments

Conditional supplemental purchase amounts attributable to business combinations are measured at fair value and amounted to SEK 48.2 million as of 31 December 2024, compared with SEK 100.6 million as of 31 December 2023, reported in the balance sheet. The decrease mainly pertains to paid supplemental purchase considerations of SEK 36.7 million (11.1), at the same time that debt has increased in connection with the acquisition of Solvina AB. The supplemental purchase amount is mainly determined based on future sales growth and earnings for the next two to three years. A recognised liability is estimated based on the assessed likelihood of an outcome. The liability is calculated at fair value according to level 3 and adjustments to supplemental purchase amounts are recognised in the income statement under net financial items. Increases in liabilities as a result of the revaluation of supplemental purchase amounts through changed assumptions and discounting effects are recognised as expenses in net financial items and amounted to SEK 10.3 million (0) accumulated. Decreases in liabilities as a result of the revaluation of supplemental purchase amounts through changed assumptions are recognised as income in net financial items and amounted to SEK 36.6 million (29.5) accumulated.

In terms of other financial assets and liabilities, no material changes have occurred regarding the measurement at fair value since the 2023 annual report. Fair value essentially matches the carrying amounts.

Risks and uncertainty factors

Through its operations, the Group is subject to various financial risks, such as market risk (comprehensive foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management involves striving for minimal unfavourable effects on financial position and performance. The Group's business risks and risk management as well as financial risks are described in detail in the annual report for 2023.

In acquisitions, these usually complement Rejlers' offering and customers and are therefore expected to increase sales in both the acquired companies and Rejlers. As the companies are often run with relatively small overhead and administration, synergies on the cost side are small. In the long term, certain cost synergies may arise thanks to, among other things, moving to shared premises. The goodwill arising from the acquisitions consists mainly of human capital, i.e. the knowledge and experience the consultants in the acquired company add, and is not expected to be deductible. Goodwill also consists of the synergies the acquisitions entail, such as broader offers, new customers, new regions and new joint assignments. Hence, the majority of the acquired company's intangible assets are attributable to goodwill.

Rejlers acquired Solvina, a leading knowledge company in the electric power industry with extensive expertise and experience in electric and nuclear power. The company, which is located in Gothenburg, has 25 employees and sales of around SEK 35 million with good profitability. The acquisition helps strengthen Rejlers' position in the energy sector. It can now offer expertise and specialist knowledge in electric power and plant function, especially in the growing field of nuclear power. The company was consolidated as of 2 April 2024.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

Beginning in the second quarter of 2016, Rejlers has applied the new European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) guidelines for Alternative Performance Measures. In brief, an alternative performance measure is a financial measure over historical or future earnings trends, financial position or cash flow that are not defined or specified in IFRS. To support the analysis by company management and other stakeholders of the Group's development, Rejlers presents certain key performance indicators that are not defined in IFRS. Company management believes that this information facilitates an analysis of the Group's development. These additional measurements are supplementary information to IFRS and do not replace key performance indicators defined in IFRS. Rejlers' definitions of measurements not defined in IFRS may differ from other companies' definitions. Definitions and calculations of key performance indicators that cannot be reconciled against items in the income statement and balance sheet are found on the company's website, www.rejlers.com, and below.
