CEO comments

Record order bookings - building for growth

Micael Johansson

President and CEO

The geopolitical landscape remains in a state of high uncertainty, with tensions in multiple regions around the world. This continues to underscore the importance of readiness, driving sustained growth in the global market for defence and deterrence capabilities.

Record order bookings in the fourth quarter

Market activity was high and demand was strong in the fourth quarter. Order bookings reached record levels, amounting to SEK 100.1 (17.6) billion. This corresponds to a book-to-bill ratio of 3.6x and our order backlog now stands at SEK 274.5 billion. We received several strategically important orders, including Gripen E/F fighters to Colombia, two GlobalEye aircraft to France and an order for the completion of the A26 submarines to Sweden. In addition, we received several orders for our missile systems and ground combat offering. Towards the end of the year, Sweden and Saab were selected by Poland to supply new submarines. Altogether, this positions Saab for long-term growth.

Sales in the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 27.7 (20.9) billion, corresponding to an organic growth of 34.5%, mainly driven by Surveillance and Dynamics. Adjusted operating income increased by 50% to SEK 2.9 (2.0) billion, and the margin was 10.6% (9.4). Operational cash flow grew to SEK 6.3 (3.6) billion, driven by high customer milestone payments. Our efforts to scale our operations, increase production pace and capacity continue.

A year with high customer deliveries

2025 was a record year for Saab. We continued to deliver on our strategy and achieved a high number of customer deliveries. We supplied a record number of Giraffe 1X radars to customers around the world, we delivered Gripen E fighters to Sweden and Brazil, provided new counter drone-solutions, delivered combat boats to new customers, launched the first SIGINT ship for Poland, and achieved record deliveries in our missile and ground combat business units, to mention just a few examples. Our sales grew by 24.1% to SEK 79.1 (63.8) billion for the year, corresponding to an organic sales growth of 25.6%. Operating income increased by 37% and cash conversion was 68% (44). The Board of Directors will propose an increased dividend of SEK 2.40 (2.00) per share to the Annual General Meeting.

Leading in innovation

We are at the forefront of innovation in the industry and continue to invest for the future. During the year, we had good progress in the development of new capabilities, including successful test flights with an AI-enabled Gripen fighter, further developments of droneswarming and anti-drone solutions, and good progress with the development of autonomous systems.

We achieved a majority of the targets set out in our sustainability strategy, reinforcing our ambition to be a sustainability leader within our industry. We adopted an updated supplier code of conduct and formally implemented a human rights due diligence policy. During the year, we accelerated our activities regarding security of supply, including access to critical raw materials, focus areas that continue as global uncertainties around these topics persist. Our environmental efforts earned leading results in climate and water ratings.

Upgraded medium-term targets

Over the past three years, we have delivered an average yearly organic sales growth of 24%. This is, so far, significantly above our mediumterm target of 18% for the period 2023-2027. Based on planned deliveries from our order backlog and continued favourable market outlook, we are upgrading our target for

organic growth to an average of around 22% (CAGR) for the period 2023-2027. This implies an average growth of around 20% per year for the remaining two years. We have decided not to provide an outlook for the specific year 2026.

We reiterate the target that operating income is expected to grow at a higher rate than sales as well as our cumulative cash conversion target of >60% for 2023-2027.

During the year, we welcomed over 3,300 new employees to Saab, bringing our global team to a total of nearly 28,000. I would like to sincerely thank everyone for the hard work. We are in a strong growth phase, and I am impressed by what we have accomplished. Our focus is clear: deliver to our customers and drive technological development. We are building a stronger Saab for the future and ultimately for keeping people and society safe.

Medium-term targets 2023-2027

Sales growth:

Organic sales growth of around 22% (compound annual growth rate, CAGR). Changed from around 18%.

Operating income:

Operating income growth higher than organic sales growth.

Operational cash flow:

Cash conversion of >60% (cumulative for the 5-year period).

Income

Fourth quarter 2025

Gross income increased 30 per cent in the quarter and amounted to SEK 5,551 million (4,286). The gross margin declined somewhat to 20.0 per cent compared to 20.6 per cent in the same quarter last year, mainly related to Dynamics.

EBITDA increased 54 per cent to SEK 4,203 million (2,734) and the EBITDA-margin was 15.2 per cent (13.1). Operating income adjusted for items affecting comparability related to the capital gain from the divestment of Saab TransponderTech AB, amounted to SEK 2,925, corresponding to an increase of 50 per cent. The adjusted operating margin was 10.6 per cent. See also note 5. Operating income increased 67 per cent and amounted to SEK 3,261 million (1,953) with an operating margin of 11.8 per cent (9.4). The growth in operating income was particularly strong in Surveillance in the quarter with growth also in Aeronautics, Dynamics and Combitech.

January-December 2025

Gross income increased 26 per cent and amounted to SEK 17,168 million (13,663) driven by sales volumes and margin improvement. The gross margin increased to 21.7 per cent (21.4) driven by higher margins in Aeronautics and Surveillance.

Total depreciation, amortisation and write-downs amounted to SEK 3,281 million (2,740). Depreciation of tangible fixed assets and right-of-use assets amounted to SEK 2,143 million (1,782). Total R&D expenditures, which comprise capitalised development expenditures, R&D costs and customer financed R&D expenditures, amounted to SEK 12,555 million (10,528) corresponding to 16 per cent (17) of sales. Amortisation and write-downs of intangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 1,138 million (958), of which amortisation of capitalised development expenditures amounted to SEK 725 million (634).

R&D costs amounted to SEK 3,623 million (2,809) following increases across most business areas.

Share of income in associated companies and joint ventures amounted to SEK 136 million (72). The increase was driven by a non-recurring contribution in the minority portfolio of SEK 105 million during the second quarter 2025.

EBITDA increased 35 per cent and amounted to SEK 11,347 million (8,402), with an EBITDA margin of 14.3 per cent (13.2).

Financial net

Net interest items 52 121
Currency gains/losses 258 -266
Lease liability interest -200 -159
Other financial items -119 -23
Total -47 -373

The financial net during the year amounted to SEK -47 million (-373). The improvement compared to last year was mainly due to SEK appreciation which had a favourable impact on currency hedges in the tender portfolio.

The financial net related to pensions is the financial cost for net pension obligations recognised in the balance sheet. See note 13 for more information regarding defined-benefit pension plans. Net interest items refer to interest on liquid assets, long- and short-term investments and interest expenses on short- and long-term interest-bearing liabilities and interest on interest-rate swaps.

Lease liability interest consists of the interest portion related to lease liabilities recognised in the balance sheet.

Other financial items consist of realised and unrealised results from long- and short-term investments and derivatives as well as other currency effects, e.g. changes in exchange rates for liquid assets in currencies other than SEK. The decrease in other financial items compared to 2024 was mainly an effect of a revaluation of shares in a financial investment, amounting to SEK -46 million, reported in the third quarter 2025 as well as currency effects.

Tax

Current and deferred taxes amounted to SEK -1,663 million (-1,079) during 2025, corresponding to an effective tax rate of 20.7 (20.4) per cent. The increase of the effective tax rate was mainly a result of lower utilisation of previously unrecognised tax loss carry forwards in 2025 compared to 2024.

Cash flow

Fourth quarter 2025

Operational cash flow in the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 6,281 million (3,558). The increase was driven by higher customer milestone payments.

January-December 2025

Operational cash flow in 2025 amounted to SEK 5,273 million (2,497). Cash flow from operating activities, excluding taxes and other financial items increased to SEK 12,460 million (7,266), while cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -7,187 (-4,769). Free cash flow during the year amounted to SEK 4,206 million (993). The divestment of Saab TransponderTech AB had a positive impact on free cash flow of SEK 539 million.

Saab is operating in a business environment with significant needs for added capabilities driven by growing customer demand. As a result, Saab is increasing investments to expand its capacity and expand production volumes, which entails a higher working capital. Saab is proactively engaging with its supply chain to manage capacity increases and inventory levels. Whilst this is putting some pressure on operational cash flow, it enables Saab to address future opportunities and grow longterm. Due to the nature of Saab's customer contracts, deliveries and timing of customer milestone payments in large projects, large fluctuations in cash flow between quarters can occur.

For more detailed information on cash flow, see note 11.

Market interest for the Gripen E/F remains high, with several ongoing campaigns.

Sales and operating income

Driven by good project execution, EBIT grew by 38 per cent in the quarter and the EBIT margin improved. This was partly offset by T-7A program start-up costs and increased R&D amortisation.

Corporate and other items

Corporate

Corporate comprise group staff, group departments and other operations including UMS Skeldar and Saab's minority portfolio. The minority portfolio contains Saab's Venture portfolio. In the fourth quarter 2025, Corporate reported order bookings of SEK 125 (97) million. For the full year 2025, order bookings amounted to SEK 2,244 million (334). The increase was attributable to the UMS Skeldar operations. Sales in the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 118 million (186). Sales for the full year 2025 increased to SEK 842 million (608), driven by growth in Skeldar. The operating loss in the fourth quarter amounted to SEK -410 million (-570), as a result of lower costs for IT security compared to the fourth quarter last year. The full year operating loss was SEK -1,144 million (-952). The lower result for the year was primarily related to increased costs for IT and security, digitalisation and Saab's long-term incentive programmes. This was partly offset by positive contribution from Skeldar, and a non-recurring contribution of SEK 105 million in the minority portfolio in the second quarter. Operational cash flow attributable to Corporate was SEK -409 million (-142) in the quarter. The decrease was related to increased investments. For 2025, operational cash flow was in line with 2024 and amounted to SEK -1,694 million (-1,743) as increased investments were offset by improved cash flow from operating activities.

Acquisitions and divestments 2025

On 18 August 2025, Saab announced the acquisition of 100 per cent of the shares in Deform AB (Deform) for approximately SEK 60 million. Furthermore, on 28 August 2025, Saab announced the divestment of Saab TransponderTech AB. The divestment was completed during the fourth quarter and resulted in a capital gain of SEK 336 million with an effect on free cash flow of SEK 539 million. The capital gain from the divestment is reported as an item affecting comparability in Business Area Surveillance and the Group in the fourth quarter and full year results 2025. For more information, see note 5 and 12.

Share repurchase

Saab held 4,440,000 treasury shares as of 31 December 2025, compared to 6,915,618 at year-end 2024. The Annual General Meeting in 2025 decided that Saab may enter into an equity swap agreement with a third party on terms and conditions in accordance with market practice, in order to hedge the expected financial exposure of LTI 2026, whereby the third party in its own name may acquire and transfer shares of series B in Saab to employees who participate in LTI 2026. The Annual General Meeting decided not to approve the Board's proposal on authorisation for the Board of Directors to resolve on acquisitions of shares and resolution on transfers of own shares to the participants in LTI 2026. The Annual General Meeting also decided to authorise the Board, before the next Annual General Meeting, to decide on the acquisition of shares of series B up to a maximum of 10 percent of the total number of shares in the company. The purpose of the authorisation is to be able to adjust the company's capital structure and thereby contribute to an increased shareholder value as well as to enable a continued use of repurchased shares in connection with potential acquisitions of companies and, where applicable, for the company's share-related incentive programmes. The Board of Directors has not exercised the authorisation during 2025.

{10}------------------------------------------------

Risks and uncertainties

Saab's operations primarily involve the development, production and supply of technologically advanced hardware and software to military and civilian customers around the world. This is to a large extent structured through major projects with long time horizons spanning over multiple years. The projects entail significant investments and large share of technological development or refinement of products conducted in close cooperation with customers, suppliers, partners and research institutions. Saab has an international footprint that involve own business operations abroad, joint ventures and collaborations with other parties and industries.

Saab's operations entail risk in various respects. The key risk areas are strategic, market and political, operating, financial and compliance related. Various internal policies and instructions govern the management of the company's material risks.

Saab is growing rapidly both in Sweden and other countries, including investments in scaling capacity such as production ramp-ups, establishing new factories and a high rate of recruitment. This growth entails a higher level of business risk and implies greater uncertainty in sales growth, income and cash flow. Furthermore, the defence market is characterised by conditions where orders can be deferred to the future based on financing and political factors.

The uncertainty in the global supply chain, including trade barriers and tariffs, entails a risk for Saab and its operations. The challenges primarily relate to the availability of certain raw materials, including rare earth elements (REEs), defence-specific supply, suppliers' ability to ramp-up production capacity, as well as the suppliers' ability to handle the flow-down of increasing regulatory requirements.

For certain subsystems, Saab is dependent on deliveries from a single or very few suppliers. Saab works actively to ensure a robust supply chain by supplier commitments to Saab's growth plan and to manage the supply chain risks through mitigating actions such as contract management, second sourcing, inand outsourcing, redesign, re-planning and intensified forecasting dialogues and negotiations with suppliers. In response to the risks related to the recent export controls on REEs, Saab is focusing on strategic stockpiling and exploring alternative trading routes.

In October 2024, Saab North America, Inc. received a subpoena from the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) requesting information about the Brazilian Government's acquisition of 36 Gripen E/F fighter aircraft in 2014. Saab is complying with the request to supply information and cooperating with the DoJ in this matter. Both Brazilian and Swedish authorities have previously investigated parts of the Brazilian fighter procurement process. These investigations were closed without indicating any wrongdoings by Saab.

For a general description of the risk areas, see the Annual Report 2024, pages 45-50.

Risks related to armed conflicts

The geopolitical tensions in the world, including the armed conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East as well as disinformation, have resulted in a more complex and diverse security environment for Saab. Therefore, Saab has increased security measures to protect its sites, personnel and IT, as well as measures against cyber risks, which may lead to increased costs for IT and security.

Saab has no defence-related sales exposure to Belarus and Russia, but is closely monitoring the impact on the business from the war in Ukraine. Saab is operating in a highly regulated market and it is essential for Saab as a responsible defence company to comply with all applicable regulations and commitments regarding export control and sanctions, i.e. sanctions from EU, UN, OSCE or other applicable countryspecific sanctions. Saab's crisis management organisation has an ongoing focus on security, embargo and sanction practices.

Furthermore, Saab currently has no direct defence-related sales exposure to Israel. However, the company could be affected by supply chain risks related to conflicts in the Middle East, as it has a limited number of suppliers in Israel. Saab is continuously monitoring the risk situation, has mitigating actions in place and is in close dialogue with its suppliers.

Proposed dividend

The Board of Directors proposes that shareholders receive a dividend of SEK 2.40 per share (2.00), totalling SEK 1,293 million (1,076). The dividend for 2025 is based on the number of shares outstanding, without reduction for shares in equity swap, as of 31 December 2025, amounting to 538,943,388 (536,467,770). In order to facilitate a more efficient cash management, the dividend is proposed to be paid out in two equal instalments. The proposed record dates to be entitled to receive the dividend are 7 April 2026 and 6 October 2026. The dividend is expected to be paid out on 10 April 2026 and 9 October 2026.

Resilient and safe societies

Business and human rights

During the quarter, the company adopted a Human Rights Due Diligence Policy, which mandates risk-based human rights due diligence in accordance with international standards. The policy is a complement to Saab's Responsible Sales Policy and will be published externally in the first quarter 2026.

Responsible sourcing

In light of global uncertainties regarding the availability of critical raw materials, Saab has engaged suppliers to better understand critical dependencies, particularly on rare earth elements. Building upon this work, Saab Surveillance completed the first phase of a project with a focus on enhancing the material composition knowledge of its key products. By employing artificial intelligence to identify material content, Saab has gained valuable insights, enabling further risk mitigating actions that will strengthen supply-chain resilience.

Green and social transition

Climate

During 2025, Saab reduced its Scope 1 & 2 CO2-eq emissions by seven per cent compared to 2024. The result was driven by reduced emissions from test flights combined with energy management measures, including the installation of a biogas plant and optimisation of heating systems. The overall reduction progress since 2020 amounts to 36 per cent.

During the year, Saab outperformed global and sector averages according to the CDP's climate and water ratings, achieving results of A and A-, respectively. Saab's disclosures within business strategy and governance, and risk and opportunity management helped place the company among the top four per cent of participants. CDP serves as a crucial tool for Saab to measure its progress and benchmark performance against peers. The global and sector averages for climate and water are B and C, correspondingly.

Circularity

During the quarter, Saab Aeronautics and Surveillance have commenced a feasibility study in close collaboration with industry and academia, with the aim to develop a circular value chain for carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP). By remanufacturing production waste from Saab Aeronautics into new secondary applications, including components at Saab Surveillance, Saab aims to reduce emissions and material value losses.

Occupational health and safety

For the full year 2025, the Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) decreased by 27 per cent compared to the base year 2024. The decrease is due to continued efforts in improving workplace safety, focusing on incident prevention, strengthening the reporting culture and refining the reporting and case handling process and digital tool.

During the quarter, Saab released a new mandatory training: "Work-Life Balance – A Practical Guide" related to the OHS target to "improve employees experienced work life balance." To date, 77% of employees have completed the training.

Innovation and partnerships

Diversity and inclusion

During the quarter, the share of women managers increased to 29 per cent, driven in part by an increased percentage of women managers among new hires.

During the quarter, Saab was ranked as a top employer of choice in Sweden by both young and senior engineering professionals in the Universum Career survey. Additionally, Saab increased in the rankings as an employer of choice among senior IT professionals in Sweden.

Information on large customers

During 2025, Saab had one customer that separately accounted for 10 per cent or more of the Group's sales. The Swedish Defence is a customer of all business areas and total sales amounted to SEK 28,787 million (22,795) during the year.

Seasonal variation

A major part of Saab's business is related to large projects where the revenue is recognised by using the percentage of completion method. The costs incurred in these projects are normally lower during the third quarter compared to other quarters. The fourth quarter is also usually affected by a higher number of deliveries, mainly within Dynamics.

Saab has a Medium Term Note (MTN) programme with a framework of SEK 15,000 million, enabling the issuance of long-term loans on the capital market. The programme was established in 2009 and has since been increased in three steps, most recently during the second quarter of 2025, when the framework was increased from SEK 10,000 million to SEK 15,000 million.

During the second quarter, bonds amounting to SEK 114 million matured. During the third quarter, Saab issued bonds totalling SEK 2,000 million under its MTN programme. In the fourth quarter Saab secured a new loan facility with the Nordic Investment Bank (NIB) to refinance two existing loans: SEK 1,000 million maturing in the first quarter and SEK 250 million maturing in the second quarter 2026. The new loan amounts to SEK 1,200 million, maturing in 2035. Of this amount, SEK 600 million was drawn in the fourth quarter 2025, with the remaining SEK 600 million to be drawn in the first quarter 2026. At the end of the fourth quarter, bonds outstanding under the MTN programme amounted to SEK 8,755 million and the loan agreement with NIB amounted to SEK 600 million.

Note 12 Business combinations

On August 18 2025, Saab announced the acquisition of 100 per cent of the shares in Deform AB (Deform) for approximately SEK 60 million. Deform is a forming company located In Degerfors, Sweden with four main business areas: pressure vessels, protection, heavy fabrication and heavy equipment. The company specialises in hot and cold forming of various types of metallic materials. At the time of acquisition, Deform had 37 employees.

Deform has a long and close relationship with Saab as a supplier of speciality parts for Saab's submarine production and is an important part of Kockums' supply chain. The acquisition strengthens the security of supply for the Swedish defence industry and ensures continued close cooperation between the two companies.

The net assets of the acquired operations are comprised of the following; fair value of intangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 9 million and is related to an acquired order backlog. Tangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 20 million and current assets to SEK 19 million, resulting in total identifiable assets of SEK 48 million. Total liabilities amounted to SEK 24 million.

Accordingly, total identifiable net assets at fair value amounted to SEK 24 million and recognised goodwill amounted to SEK 36 million. The goodwill comprises the value of expected synergies through the consolidation of the operations of Saab and Deform arising from the acquisition. None of the acquired goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The total of the identified net assets and goodwill equals the purchase price of SEK 60 million.

From the date of the acquisition, Deform has contributed to the consolidated accounts of the group with SEK 23 million to sales and SEK 1.6 million to income before taxes. Transaction costs of SEK 4 million have been expensed and are included in administrative expenses (included in cash flows from operating activities).

2) Cash flow from investing activities excluding change in short-term investments and other interest-bearing financial assets and excluding sale of and investment in financial assets, operations and subsidiaries. If investments in and sale of financial fixed assets are considered to be of operating nature, the item is included in investing activities.

On August 28 2025, Saab announced the divestment of Saab TransponderTech AB. The divestment was completed during the fourth quarter and resulted in a capital gain of SEK 336 million with an effect on free cash flow of SEK 539 million. The capital gain from the divestment is reported as an item affecting comparability in Business Area Surveillance and the Group in the fourth quarter and full year results 2025.

Note 13 Defined-benefit plans
