Company Announcement No 6 of 14 May 2025

The Board of Directors has today adopted the half-year report for the period 1 October 2024 to 31 March 2025.

Highlights of H1:

Operating results:

• · Revenue amounted to MDKK 137,8 which is MDKK 1,3 higher than the first half of the financial year 2023/24. The price level was lower in this period compared to last year but was offset by a higher sales volume.
• · The development in the Industry Division reflects that the demand in the domestic market and in the export sector for semi-finished products has increased but the price level has been lower due to the competition and the development in the material price.
• · The revenue of the Building & Construction Division is in line with the budget and above the same period in 2023/24 partly due to higher sales volume in the current period.
• · Capacity costs are in line with last year. Investments in improving efficiency in the warehouse and administration has been done to strengthen the development going forward. Investments in the Green transition has also been carried out and solarpanels contribute to the reduction of Co2 emission. Replacement of diesel driven cars to electric cars are still in focus and proceeding as planned and is expected to be fully implemented in 2026. Additional charging stations has been installed in both sites as well.

Karsten Due, CEO, comments as follows on the half-year financial statements 2024/25:

• · A stable first half with solid topline development but below budget expectations: The first half of the financial year 2024/25 has shown a revenue level slightly above the same period last year, but below our internal budget expectations. Activity has remained stable across most markets, with Building & Construction and our Swedish operations delivering results above plan. However, overall topline performance has been affected by delayed projects and a more selective investment climate in several industry-related segments.
• Earnings impacted by inflationary pressure but strategic initiatives progressing: As anticipated, the first half has been marked by continued pressure on selected cost categories, including freight, maintenance, and personnel. This has influenced our earnings level, which remains below budget but comparable to last year's performance. We maintain focus on operational efficiency and cost control, and we are beginning to see the effect of our simplification initiatives and tighter follow-up through structured monthly reporting. These efforts support a more agile and accountable organization.
• · Strong foundation for the second half and beyond: The implementation of our digitalization and transparency programs is progressing according to plan, and we see encouraging signals in our internal execution. While external uncertainty remains a factor - especially within pricing and customer investment activity - we are confident that our strategic direction positions us well for the coming quarters. Our focus remains on strengthening profitability, enhancing customer experience, and creating long-term value.

Outlook for H2 2024/25:

• · Based on the development in the first half and confidently looking into the bigger months in terms of sales and activities, the Board of Directors maintains its guidance for an adjusted EBIT result in the range of DKK 16-18 million for the full year 2024/25, as announced in the annual report 2023/24.
• · While we continue to experience inflationary pressure particularly on freight and maintenance - and a more selective investment climate among key customer segments, we also see encouraging signs in our commercial activity and internal execution.
• · The outlook reflects our confidence in the company's strategic direction and our ongoing efforts to balance cost control, operational agility, and long-term value creation in a complex and evolving market environment.

Notes

Note 1. Accounting policies

The Interim Report is presented in accordance with IAS 34, Presentation of Interim Reports, as adopted by the EU and Danish disclosure requirements relating to listed companies.

The accounting policies remain unchanged from those applied in the Annual Report for 2023/24. The Annual Report for 2023/24 contains the full description and can therefore be found there .

Note 2. Accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of the half-year Report requires Management to make accounting estimates that affect the application of the accounting policies as well as the recognition of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from such estimates.

When preparing the half-year Report, the most material estimates made by Management in connection with the application of the accounting policies and the most material uncertainty in this respect are the same as in connection with the preparation of the Financial Statements for 2023/24, to which reference is made.

Note 3. Revenue

Sales outside Denmark amounts to 15.5% of the total sale and 11.8% was to Sweden. All non-current assets are placed in Denmark and sales are distributed on a large number of different products and customers and no customer amounts for more than 10% of the sales.
