A P R I L-J U N E SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE QUARTER

Rejlers Finland has initiated strategic cooperation with Netled, which is specialised in technical solutions for vertical farming. Netled outsources its project management to Rejlers, which entails better scalability and an increased business focus. As part of the agreement six employees from Netled was transferred to Rejlers Finland's industrial division as of 3 July.

Rejlers supports Svenska Kraftnät in power cable projects, which means that Rejlers engineers will guide the authority in both existing and new projects in the transmission network. Rejlers was commissioned for the assignment, which covers several areas of expertise, after a renewed competitive tendering process. The agreement extends until 2025 with an option for extension for another two years.

Rejlers signs a new framework agreement with Dala Energi

covering technical consulting services within electricity and fibre management and may include, for example, preparation, design and permit issues as well as investigations. Dala Energi and Rejlers have collaborated for many years and the new framework agreement is valid for two years with the possibility of extension until 2031.

Rejlers commits to set climate targets on net zero

emissions in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The next step for Rejlers is to set concrete, research-based targets, which will be sent to SBTi for approval, and to establish a robust plan to achieve the targets.

Rejlers is expanding the cooperation with LKAB and has been commissioned to develop the logistics system for the new and deeper main level planned at LKAB's Malmberget mine. The goal is to create new technical solutions that will set a new world standard for sustainable mining at great depths.

Rejlers is project engineering Norway's longest railway

bridge in an assignment for Implenia. The assignment includes Rejlers assisting with electrical and automation project engineering in the construction of a railway bridge over Tangenvika. Implenia is the principal contractor for the BaneNor project in the municipality of Stange.

Rejlers acquired Eurocon. After the extension of the public offer to April 14, 98.2 per cent of the Eurocon shares and votes were submitted. Thereafter the compulsory redemption of the remaining shares was called upon.

INCREASED PROFIT AND 400 NEW SUPERCONSULTANTS FOR REJLERS

In the second quarter of the year, Rejlers showed strong growth of 18.2 per cent, of which 5.2 per cent was organic growth, and sales increased to SEK 1,058.2 million (895.3). At the same time, we increased operating profit compared to the corresponding quarter last year to SEK 70.5 million (64.3), despite having one working day less. For the first half of the year, EBITA increased to SEK 170.6 million (140.7) with an EBITA margin of 8.3 per cent (8.1), excluding items affecting comparability of SEK 10 million.

Market remains strong

Behind Rejlers' improved profitability lies successful acquisitions, a continued strong organic growth and higher prices. During the quarter, Rejlers grew by more than 400 employees in a combination of acquisitions and recruitment. It is clear that the big small company – Rejlers – has created a substantially stronger employer brand in recent years. Despite economic turmoil, our market has remained strong and the order book well filled. However, the private property market, which accounts for a small part of our sales, is negatively impacted. Business is going best in energy, where we have a strong position and are growing. The needs in both power generation as well as transmission and distribution are seemingly insatiable. Q2. INTERIM REPORT REJLERS. 2 JANUARY—JUNE 2023. STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT AND CEO

Strengthened balance sheet

Although the market remains strong, we naturally have a higher level of preparedness for possible shifts in the market situation due to the generally uncertain times. In May, we completed a private placement of SEK 250 million to partly finance the acquisition of Eurocon in April. In this way, we strengthened our balance sheet, which gives us the opportunity to evaluate and act on more attractive acquisition opportunities. After our last major investment in Sweden, special priority in this important work is now being given to Finland and Norway.

Exposure to the northern industrial boom

The consolidation of Eurocon, with the majority of its nearly 300 employees in Norrland, strengthens Rejlers as a project supplier. Our geographic coverage of Sweden is considerably more complete and we have a strategic exposure to the green industrial transition in northern Sweden. I am convinced that Rejlers' industrial offering in Sweden will now be strengthened in the same way as for Rejlers Finland after the acquisition of large parts of Neste Engineering Solutions in 2019. The two acquisitions have given us more than 600 highly qualified process engineers who can now also collaborate in large projects.

More and larger project assignments

We already see that our strategic effort to develop Rejlers' project capacity is bearing fruit, for example with the consultancy agreement worth around EUR 50 million that Rejlers Finland signed with Infinited Fiber for the construction of a completely new, circular textile fibre factory in northern Finland. In addition to good profitability, this type of assignment also adds a continuity, which is an advantage in today's somewhat more uncertain market conditions.

Some personal reflections

I am pleased to note that Rejlers is fully on track according to our strategy for 2018-2025, which includes strong, continuous growth in existing markets, higher profitability, a special focus on energy, the process industry and infrastructure, and an increased share of future-oriented projects, complete solutions and sustainable offers. Rejlers is continuing to build value for the society of the future and our accelerating journey has just begun!

Stockholm, 14 July 2023 Viktor Svensson

Cash flow and financial position

During the period, the Group generated a cash flow from operating activities of SEK 145.8 million (171.9) including IFRS 16 Leases. The cash flow from operating activities is impacted positively by increased earnings and operating liabilities, and negatively by increased trade receivables and accrued income. Consolidated cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to SEK 98.8 million, compared with SEK 144.8 million as of 31 December 2022, affected by dividends in an amount of SEK 91.7 million.

Interest-bearing liabilities increased by SEK 208.9 million since 31 December 2022 to SEK 745.0 million at the end of period. Loans in banks increased in the period by SEK 225 million in connection with the acquisition of Eurocon Consulting AB. Interestbearing liabilities with regard to IFRS 16 Leases amount to SEK 283.2 million and increased by SEK 16.8 million compared with 31 December 2022. Current interestbearing liabilities amount to SEK 133.3 million and non-current liabilities amount to SEK 323.2 million. The distribution between current and non-current liabilities is adapted to achieve an effective interest level.

Net debt amounted to SEK 646.2 million, compared with SEK 391.3 million as of 31 December 2022. Net debt is also affected by the leasing effect. The ratio of net debt to EBITDA rolling 12 months amounted to 1.5 at the end of the period compared with 0.94 at 31 December 2022. The ratio of net debt to EBITDA rolling 12 months excluding IFRS 16 Leases is 1.0. The equity/assets ratio amounted to 48.5 per cent compared with 49.8 per cent on 31 December 2022. Equity per share was SEK 79.5 at the end of the period compared to SEK 73.0 as of 31 December 2022. The Group's overdraft facilities in Danske Bank of SEK 150.0 million (150.0) are unutilised. Q2. INTERIM REPORT REJLERS. 5 JANUARY—JUNE 2023. FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Investments

Investments in property, plant and equipment amounted to SEK 11.1 million (7.1), mainly relating to equipment and IT equipment.

Investments in subsidiaries and businesses amounted to SEK 459.6 million (219.2), mainly attributable to the acquisition of Eurocon Consulting AB. Depreciation and amortisation amounted to SEK 97.2 million (86.9), of which SEK 57.8 million (52.9) was related to IFRS 16 Leases.

Utilisation

The utilisation amounted to 80.1 per cent (80.8).

Employees

At the end of the period, there were 3,235 employees (2,681). There were 2,914 fullyear employees (2,506).

Parent Company

Net sales in the Parent Company during the period amounted to SEK 19.7 million (17.8), which mainly pertains to invoiced management fees to subsidiaries. The Parent Company's operating loss amounted to SEK 12.9 million (17.6). Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to SEK -7.8 million, compared with SEK 48.4 million as of 31 December 2022. Equity amounted to SEK 819.5 million at the end of the period compared with SEK 680.8 million as of 31 December 2022, impacted by dividends in the second quarter of SEK 91.7 million and a share issue in connection with acquisitions of SEK 241.3 million.

Rejlers acquired Eurocon. On 20 February 2023, Rejlers Sverige AB, which is a directly wholly owned subsidiary of Rejlers AB, submitted a recommended public offer to the shareholders of Eurocon Consulting AB (publ), to transfer all of its shares in Eurocon to Rejlers for SEK 10.75 in cash per share. Based on all 43,627,279 shares outstanding in the company, the offer values Eurocon at around SEK 469 million. The offer was unanimously recommended by the Board of Eurocon and shareholders who control 45.8 per cent of outstanding shares committed to accept the offer.

The offer was not subject to any financing conditions. The amount paid in connection with the offer is comprised of available funds in Rejlers AB and available credit

EBITA MARGIN, %

C A S H F L O W F R O M O P E R A T I N G ACTIVITIES, SEK MILLION

N U M B E R O F E M P L O Y E E S A T E N D O F PERIOD

facilities that Danske Bank has undertaken to provide in connection with the offer. Rejlers AB has since conducted a private placement and repaid parts of the credit facility in order to promote further strategic growth initiatives. For more information, see more under "The Share".

The acceptance period for the offer began on 23 February 2023 and ended on 3 April 2023, which resulted in shares submitted in the offer amounting to around 96.1 per cent of the shares and votes in Eurocon. Since the offer was accepted to such an extent that Rejlers held more than 90 per cent of the shares in Eurocon, all conditions for the completion of the offer were met as of 3 April 2023. Accordingly, the offer was declared unconditional in every respect and Rejlers completed the acquisition of the shares that had been submitted. The acceptance period was then extended until 14 April whereby 98.2 per cent of the shares and the votes were submitted and thereafter the compulsory redemption of the remaining shares was called upon. At 30 June, 98.2 per cent of the shares and votes were submitted. Eurocon was thereby consolidated as of 3 April 2023.

Rejlers sees strong commercial and financial potential in a merger between the companies, where Eurocon's specialist expertise in the process and manufacturing industry, infrastructure and information systems and experience of large and complex project commitments significantly strengthen the Rejlers Group's position in the market. In addition to this, the merger of Rejlers and Eurocon strengthens the company's operations in the forestry, chemical and mining industries, among others. Furthermore, the merger with Eurocon strengthens Rejlers' exposure to planned and ongoing sustainability investments in northern Sweden, a transformation effort that Rejlers takes very seriously and places a great deal of emphasis on. It is Rejlers' intention that Eurocon, under its current management, will significantly strengthen Rejlers' business operations in northern Sweden and complement the offering in the rest of Sweden. With the shared expertise in Rejlers and Eurocon, the offering to industrial customers will be broadened, something that is in demand by the market. Q2. INTERIM REPORT REJLERS. 6 JANUARY—JUNE 2023. FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Seasonal variations

Rejlers is affected by seasonal variations and calendar effects. The respective quarters are relatively comparable over the years, but are affected by minor calendar effects, such as when in time Easter occurs. Sales are normally higher in the first and fourth quarters and lower in the second and third quarter. Similar seasonal variations occur in all geographic markets.

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 February 2022, an issue of 460,720 Class B shares was carried out as a part of a purchase consideration in the acquisition of Helenius Ingenjörsbyrå 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. Remaining outstanding convertible programmes from 2019 amount to SEK 24,000,000 with a maturity of five years.

War in Ukraine

The war in Ukraine has led to higher inflation and sanctions against Russia, which may affect the market Rejlers operates in. The war has accelerated the need for a change where entire industries are seeking new digital technology, automation, electrification of manufacturing with a large carbon footprint and creation of sustainable supply chains and major investments are being planned. Rejlers' demand is driven by this ongoing change, which has become even more current due to the war. High inflation also entails higher costs for Rejlers regarding rents for premises and salaries, which we monitor and are kept at a reasonable level thanks to strong organic growth, meaning that the cost per employee is not increasing at the same pace as the total cost increase. High inflation has led to higher interest expenses for bank loans. Rejlers has no employees in Russia or Ukraine. The consequences of the war are unpredictable and we are following developments closely.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE PERIOD

Rejlers Rejlers wins design assignment for the new innovative Nobel Center, a future meeting place for science, culture and dialogue. The assignment, commissioned by The Nobel Center Foundation, means that Rejlers will be the designer and advisor on the building's electrical and telecommunications systems, and thereby play an important role in ensuring that the choice of technical solutions, installations and systems will results in as low energy utilisation as possible.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Rejlers Sweden reports a good second quarter. Sales increased to SEK 652.6 million (517.2) and EBITA increased to SEK 43.0 million (38.4), affected by having one working day less than in the previous year. Rejlers Sweden continued to have strong organic growth where the acquisition of the technical consultancy Eurocon further strengthened growth. Rejlers' broad customer portfolio, together with higher prices towards customers, contributed to the strong quarter.

The Swedish market remains strong and as a result of the strong focus on sustainability and the energy transition, demand for Rejlers' services is growing. The development in the private construction and property sector, which is a small part of sales, is somewhat weaker due to higher interest rates and inflation, while the energy and industrial sector continued to show very strong demand for high-quality expertise for energy and industrial conversion projects.

The acquisition of Eurocon was completed during the quarter and the company has
been part of Rejlers since 1 April. With Eurocon's nearly 300 employees, Rejlers'
presence has been strongly strengthened in northern Sweden where demand is very
strong. The strengthening in the industry segment has contributed to positive effects in
the past quarter.
The Buildings division continued to report good earnings in the second quarter, despite a somewhat declining market. The divi
sion has extensive exposure to government and municipal customers where demand is high and the need for energy efficiency
improvements and sustainable solutions continues to increase. Rejlers has won a number of important contracts, including for
the prestigious Nobel Center project in Stockholm.
The Energy division reported a very strong quarter and good organic growth, driven by the energy transition, industry's future
increased electricity consumption and higher requirements for sustainability targets. The division has a good customer port
folio, where many long-term customer relationships with companies such as Vattenfall, E.ON and Ellevio have been supple
mented with new customers with extensive potential. During the quarter, Rejlers received renewed trust from Svenska Kraftnät
regarding power cable projects, and signed a new framework agreement with Dala Energi.
The Industry division continues to benefit from the sustainable transformation in industry and the market is predicted to make
major investments in coming years. With the acquisition of Eurocon, Rejlers has created a unique position in the process
industry and sees increased business opportunities for assignments linked to the green transition and to the world situation.
During the quarter, Rejlers further developed the cooperation with BAE Systems and Hitachi, among others, and expanded the
cooperation with LKAB where Rejlers has been tasked with developing a logistics system that will set a new world standard for
sustainable mining.
The Communication & Security division reported a stable profit. The telecom offering is expected to grow thanks to invest
ments in digitalisation and mobile networks. Sales of Rejlers' offering in Digital Solutions have increased, primarily within auto
mation services. We also see an increased demand for expertise from the Swedish Armed Forces.
The Infrastructure division is continuing to grow. The newly launched Bridge and Civil Design business area has won its first
contracts and is showing good growth. The division has also won framework agreements for the municipalities of Partille and
Enköping in the Civil Area. In addition, the division has won several assignments for the Swedish Transport Administration,
including a major project for the design of a road plan for a new interchange north of Gävle.

REJLERS FINLAND EBITA, SEK MILLION

Rejlers Finland reported a good second quarter, impacted by one working day less than in the previous year. Sales for the second quarter increased to SEK 346.0 million (308.7) and EBITA increased to SEK 28.5 million (27.1). The good profit is attributable to a good order intake from both existing and new customers and a strong focus on cost efficiency.

The market in Finland for Rejlers' services remains stable. This is especially true in the industrial transformation that is being driven by the green transition and fossil-free energy production, new forms of energy storage and electrification. In order to further strengthen Rejlers' offering, Rejlers Finland continued to focus on the recruitment of young talents during the quarter. In addition, Rejlers Finland communicated an organisational change that will enter into effect after the summer of 2023, including a new leader for Industry, which is the largest division in Finland.

The Buildings division has both grown and improved profitability despite a somewhat uncertain market in residential production. The division won several important contracts during the quarter. Rejlers is a part of the alliance chosen for the construction of the Koskela tram depot in Helsinki. In addition, Rejlers has signed a framework agreement with the City of Jyväskylä and has been commissioned by the Wellbeing Services County of Pirkanmaa as regards to design engineering and electrification for healthcare. Q2. INTERIM REPORT REJLERS. 8 JANUARY—JUNE 2023. BUSINESS OVERVIEW

The Industry division continues to deliver stable earnings in a market that remains strong, where substantial investments are expected to take place in the next few years. Rejlers has won several feasibility studies related to industrial electricity networks and the battery value chain and secured several framework agreements during the period. A strategic partnership has been signed with Netled, where Rejlers takes responsibility for project management in line with the EPCM model.

In certain areas, the Energy & Infrastructure division had challenges during the quarter partly due to lower prices in existing long-term contracts combined with a high rate of inflation.

The new Sustainable Energy Solutions division is continuing to develop its operations. The division, which was established at the beginning of the year, will support the acceleration of the energy transition and the green transformation. The division is being built up and during the quarter the offering was further developed, and recruitment conducted.

Rejlers' operations in the United Arab Emirates continued to develop positively as a result of a strong energy market and a willingness to invest in the region. In the second quarter, Rejlers Abu Dhabi won several FEED projects (Front End Engineering Design) and assignments related to detail design and pipeline engineering.

Rejlers Norway reported a good second quarter. Sales amounted to SEK 71.1 million (75.8) and EBITA was SEK 4.0 million (6.5).

In addition, the company completed several large projects in construction and civil engineering, which impacted the order volume while waiting for new projects to begin after the summer.

REJLERS OFFERING

For more than 80 years, Rejlers has helped companies, authorities and other organisations to meet the challenges of the surrounding world. Our ability to adapt and our offering to prevailing circumstances has been an important part of our success.

Industry transformation

The entire industrial sector is in rapid transformation and Rejlers is helping customers with extensive expertise in the latest technology and various cutting-edge digital technologies. Giant investments are being made in fossilfree production using, for example, hydrogen solutions and there is great interest in carbon capture and storage. Industry is also seeking ways to transition to more circular flows and to utilise its waste as a resource. Current developments are redrawing the industry map and it is becoming increasingly common to place production close to the end market. We assist with complete solutions as well as project management, technical and expert services. Q1. INTERIM REPORT REJLERS. 10 JANUARY—MARCH 2023. REJLERS OFFERING

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 2022 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, at SEK 107.2 million (82.1). 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.

In terms of other financial assets and liabilities, no material changes have occurred regarding the measurement at fair value since the 2022 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 2022. For the impact due to the war in Ukraine, see page 6.

All acquired companies complement Rejlers' offering and customers and are therefore expected to increase sales in both the acquired companies and Rejlers. As the companies are 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.

Rejlers acquired ClimaConsult Finland Oy, a technical consultancy with services in heating, ventilation, air conditioning, sanitation and automation. The company has annual sales of more than EUR 1 million and 14 employees. ClimaConsult and Rejlers have successfully collaborated for more than ten years in multiple projects, and with the acquisition, the company is becoming part of Rejlers' Buildings division. The business was consolidated as of 1 January 2023.

Rejlers acquired the Finnish technical consultant Three Kings, thereby strengthening its offering in data protection, information security and cybersecurity in business-critical environments. Three Kings will be a part of the energy and infrastructure division. The business was consolidated as of 1 February 2023.

Rejlers acquired INTEK, Installationsteknik i Malmö AB. The acquisition means that Rejlers is being reinforced with four heating, ventilation and sanitation engineers with good customer contacts. INTEK will be a part of the Buildings division. The business was consolidated as of 1 February 2023.

Rejlers' acquisition offer to the shareholders of Eurocon Consulting AB (publ) was announced in February 2023. After the end of the acceptance period on 3 April, the number of shares submitted amounted to 96 per cent of the shares and votes in Eurocon. Accordingly, the offer was declared unconditional in every respect and Rejlers completed the acquisition of the shares that had been submitted. The acceptance period was then extended until 14 April whereby 98.2 per cent of the shares and the votes were submitted and thereafter the compulsory redemption of the remaining shares was called upon. At 30 June, 98.2 per cent of the shares and votes were submitted. Eurocon was thereby consolidated as of 3 April 2023. Q2. INTERIM REPORT REJLERS. 13 JANUARY—JUNE 2023. OTHER INFORMATION

Eurocon is a Swedish technical consulting firm specialised in industrial projects for the process and manufacturing industry, infrastructure and information systems, with operations in 13 locations in Sweden. Eurocon has 285 employees and sales in 2022 amounted to around SEK 339 million with an EBITA of around SEK 41 million.

Rejlers sees strong commercial and financial potential in a merger between the companies, where Eurocon's specialist expertise in the process and manufacturing industry, infrastructure and information systems and experience of large and complex project commitments significantly strengthens the Rejlers Group's position in the market.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

Rejlers applies 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 new items in the income statement and balance sheet are found on the company's website, www. rejlers.com.
