CEO Comments

In summing up a successful third quarter, Scandi Standard improved operating income to MSEK 185 (153), an increase of 21 per cent, and 11 per cent higher net sales. Our deliberate work with improvement continues, at the same time as market demand for chicken remains strong. Scandi Standard is growing in the domestic markets and posting showing solid development in earnings and margins. Our Netherlands production facility has entered operation ahead of schedule and our chicken farms in Lithuania are in full production. In conclusion, we took several important steps toward reaching our financial targets in the quarter.

Ready-to-cook (RTC) grew net sales by 13 per cent to MSEK 2,873 (2,536). Operating income amounted to MSEK 159 (111), up 43 per cent. Growth and the earnings improvement in the quarter continued to be driven by strong demand, with increased volumes in several of our sales channels. Seasonally, the third quarter is the strongest and we are experiencing a long-term trend where increasing numbers of consumers are choosing to put chicken on the barbecue. The business area performed over expectations, driven by strong demand in our domestic markets as well as by our deliberate improvement program focused particularly on Sweden, Ireland and Denmark. The program includes production process investment and streamlining, and it is gratifying to see how, within just a short period in each country, the measures have contributed to noticeable improvements in earnings.

Our chicken farms in Lithuania have entered full production, and we are gradually introducing processes and procedures to ensure Scandi Standard's high standards of animal welfare and sustainability.

Ready-to-eat (RTE) reported increased net sales of 5 per cent to a total of MSEK 713 (677) in parallel with operating income declining to MSEK 17 (44). While the segment continues to grow, earnings have been negatively impacted in the short term by the rising price of chicken raw material and the previously communicated start-up costs in the Netherlands. We expect the price adjustments implemented toward customers to positively impact the coming quarters, and we expect to gradually return profitability to previous levels. Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) remains a stable and important customer segment for Scandi Standard, and we have further expanded the customer base in the quarter. Our production facility in the Netherlands entered operation during the quarter with a first production line. To ensure high utilization rates for the second and third production lines, a process of refurbishment, ramp-up and optimisation is in progress, and the lines are expected to enter operation in the middle of the first half of 2026.

Ingredients part within category Other comprises one area where we are continuing to develop our opportunities to process more of the bird to leverage existing potential in the segment. In the third quarter, segment earnings increased to MSEK 18 (10), primarily driven by volume and enhanced operational efficiency.

Climate transition plan - from words to action

Scandi Standard's Climate Transition Plan was adopted at the end of 2024. This year, we have started implementing the plan in the form of a number of ongoing projects at our facilities, with the aim of reducing our emissions from own operations. One example is our third-quarter initiation of a test replacement of fossil gas with BioLPG in the operations in Ireland for the remainder of 2025. We can already see that this will result in lower Scope 1 emissions for 2025. I believe that this showcases

how we are able to go from words to action in our work with sustainability and to actively reduce emissions from own operations.

Financial position

During the quarter, interest-bearing net debt decreased MSEK 97 to MSEK 2,192 mainly driven by strong earnings. In addition, the second dividend payment for the year was distributed and total investments amounted to MSEK 113 (66). For the full-year 2025, after excluding the acquisition of the RTE facility in the Netherlands and farms in Lithuania, investments are expected to amount to approximately MSEK 450. Our focus is set on raising efficiency, expanding our Ready-to-cook capacity and continuing the commissioning of the RTE facility in the Netherlands.

Strategy and outlook

Scandi Standard strives to be at the forefront of a high-quality chicken production with a reduced carbon footprint, and we are proud to have ended yet another quarter during which we have taken important steps toward our targets for 2027. Our journey continues and we have no intentions of slowing down. We are confident that the demand for and consumption of chicken will remain healthy going forward. As part of meeting this positive trend, we are developing and scaling up our new operations in Lithuania and the Netherlands in the coming quarters while we remain focused on strengthening our internal processes and continuing improvement initiatives in our domestic markets. This clear strategy means that we are strengthening our positions both in our local markets and in the European market while concurrently laying the foundations for continued growth.

Following another strong quarter, I would like to extend my appreciation to our customers, suppliers, shareholders and employees who have contributed to the development of Scandi Standard. I expect this strong trend to continue through the fourth quarter and in 2026. This confirms my conviction that we have the ability to attain our ambitious financial and sustainability targets, which will in turn create the preconditions for increasing value and yields for our shareholders.

Group results, financial position and cash flow July – September 2025

Net sales for the Group increased by 11 per cent to MSEK 3,723 (3,343). At constant exchange rates, net sales increased by 14 per cent. Net sales to the Retail sales channel increased by 5 per cent compared to the corresponding quarter previous year, mainly driven by positive volume, price and mix increases. Net sales to the Foodservice channel increased by 6 per cent due to Ready-to-eat. Export sales increased by 40 per cent during the quarter, driven by the addition of Lithuania to the group and continued positive demand.

Operating income (EBIT) for the Group increased by 21 per cent to MSEK 185 (153), corresponding to an operating margin (EBIT margin) of 5.0 (4.6) per cent.

Ready-to-cook reported an operating income of MSEK 159 (111), which was a record high for a third quarter, driven by strong underlying demand combined with investments to increase capacity as well as efficiency.

The operating income in the Ready-to-eat segment decreased to MSEK 17 (44), which is negatively impacted in the short term by higher raw material prices and the startup of production in the Netherlands.

Finance net for the Group amounted to MSEK -39 (-39), consisting of higher interest expenses for interest-bearing liabilities of MSEK -22 (-19), interest expenses on leasing of MSEK -3 (-3), and exchange rate effects/other items of MSEK -14 (-17).

Tax expenses for the Group amounted to MSEK -27 (-21), corresponding to an effective tax rate of approximately 18 (18) per cent. The lower tax rate is explained by the mix of tax rates between the different countries.

Net income for the Group increased to MSEK 120 (94). Earnings per share were SEK 1.83 (1.44).

Net interest-bearing debt (NIBD) for the Group was MSEK 2,192, an increase of MSEK 97 from June 30, 2025. Operating cash flow in the quarter amounted to MSEK 189 (216), which was a positive effect from improved EBITDA, but has been partly offset by higher net investments related to efficient improvements and capacity expansions within Readyto-cook, as well as the continued commissioning of the RTE production facility in the Netherlands. Total interest-bearing net debt was also impacted by the second dividend payout and other items, mainly related to exchange rate fluctuations.

Total equity attributable the parent company's shareholders as of September 30, 2025 amounted to MSEK 2,634 (2,523). The equity to assets ratio amounted to 33.8 (36.3) per cent. Return on equity was 12.0 (12.1) per cent.

The financial target for the Group's T margin is to exceed per cent in the medium term. In the second quarter, the company achieved an operating margin of 5.0 (4.6) per cent, which is in line with expectations, considering the start-up of the acquired plan in Netherlands.

The financial target for the Group´s net interest-bearing debt in relation to EBITDA is <2.5x. The outcome as of September 30, 2025 was 2.2x (1.8x), which is better than the target range for the Group.

The financial target for the Group's net sales is an annual a erage organic growth (5-year average) of 5-7 per cent, reported on annual basis.

The financial target for return on capital employed (ROCE) should amount to 15 per cent in the medium term. The outcome for the second quarter was 11.8 (11.7) per cent.

In addition to these, the Group has a target for operating profit per processed kg (GW) of >3 SEK/kg. The outcome for the third quarter was SEK 2.36 (2.15)/kg.

Sustainability performance

Focus areas and development

Scandi Standard views chicken as an important component of the future food system. This is because, in comparison with other animal protein, chicken is better for human health and has a smaller climate impact. Expectations and requirements on Scandi Standard's sustainability work from different stakeholders are increasing and are to a larger extent linked to the roup's operational and financial performance Scandi Standard's ambition is to be a sustainability leader in the global poultry space.

Third quarter 2025

  • The lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) for the third quarter of 2025 was 20.5 LTIs (25.4) per million hours worked. This is a year-on-year improvement of 19 per cent and is in line with the year's target of . . The decline was dri en by impro ed performances in Sweden and Finland due to the completion of systematic improvement efforts. In the third quarter, one work-related fatality took place in one of our farms in the Lithuanian operations. In addition to existing work with health and safety, following internal investigation of the accident, additional measures have been introduced to prevent future accidents. The accident is currently also subject to investigation by the relevant authorities. Scandi Standard is providing full cooperation with these investigations.
  • In the third quarter of 2025, antibiotics usage in the Group was 6.5 per cent (2.5) in treated flocks, which exceeds the target for 2025 and represents a year-on-year improvement. Antibiotic usage in the Nordic countries has been negligible. By international standards, the result is very low and our estimation is that average European antibiotics usage in chicken rearing ranges from 40–60 per cent. The quarterly figure also includes all own farms in Lithuania. Scandi Standard continues to work with systematic improvements to the Irish operations and is focusing on ensuring favourable processes for low antibiotics use in Lithuania, with a particular focus on the farms that were acquired in the second quarter.
  • Foot pad condition (foot score) is a leading industry indicator for animal welfare, a low score equates good foot health, where values below 15–20 are good in an international comparison. The outcome for the third quarter of 2025 was 5.8 points, which was slightly higher than the corresponding quarter of 2024, when the score was 5.0. This indicates that we are on our way to reaching this year's target of as well as the target of a foot score under 5 by 2030.
  • Decreasing the climate impact in the form of CO2 emissions from its own operations as well as across the value chain is a key priority at Scandi Standard. The result for the third quarter with regards to carbon intensity in own operations was 58.4 g CO2e/kg product (69.4) which was 16 per cent lower year-on-year. This was despite the start-ups in Lithuania and the Netherlands, which initially had a relatively high carbon intensity. The improvement was partly driven by updated emissions factors that reflect a general reduction in carbon-dioxide emissions from the national electricity grids as well as by streamlining and improvements in own operations, including a test replacement of fossil gas with BioLPG in the operations in Ireland that was implemented in the third quarter.
  • In the third quarter of 2025, 6 critical complaints were reported, compared with zero in the year-earlier quarter. As with the majority of the complaints in previous quarters, the complaints pertained to the RTE segment. When complaints are made, we conduct continual improvement work to ensure that similar problems do not reoccur.

Implementing the Climate Transition Plan

Scandi Standard's Climate Transition Plan was adopted at the end of . This year we ha e started implementing the plan in the form of a number of ongoing projects at our facilities within our markets, with the aim of reducing our emissions from own operations. One example is our thirdquarter initiation of a test replacement of fossil gas with BioLPG in the operations in Ireland for the remainder of 2025. We can already see that this will result in lower Scope 1 emissions for 2025. Implementing the Climate Transition Plan comprises an important step toward attaining the 2030 climate targets that Scandi Standard has committed to, which is also reflected in sustainability factors, including for the climate, being integrated into investment and reinvestment processes.

Net sales within the Ready-to-cook (RTC) segment increased by 13 per cent from 2,536 MSEK to 2,873 MSEK. In fixed currency, Net sales increased by 16 per cent.

The Net sales growth was driven by increased sales in several channels. Growth in Export and Industry sales were driven by Ireland and Norway, as well as the addition of Lithuania. The Retail channel delivered growth of 4 per cent, driven by continued strong demand.

Several markets contributed to the net sales growth, with strong results in Ireland which grew 13 per cent driven by strong in-market demand and increased prices.

Sales of chilled products increased by 24 per cent, while frozen products decreased by 30 per cent due to consumer demand.

Operating income (EBIT) for Ready-to-cook increased by MSEK 48 to 159 (111), corresponding to an operating income margin (EBIT margin) of 5.5 (4.4) per cent.

The olume growth had a positi e effect on the quarter's operating result. The positive impact from price/mix and positive performance of Lithuania was partially offset by higher input costs.

uditor's report

Scandi Standard AB (publ) reg. no. 556921-0627

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Scandi Standard as of 30 September 2025 and the nine-month period then ended. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial 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, ISA, 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 is not 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.

Amount and dates

Unless otherwise stated. amounts are indicated in millions of Swedish kronor (MSEK). All comparative figures in this report refer to the corresponding period of the previous year unless otherwise stated. Rounding errors may occur.

Long-term incentive program

The Annual general meeting 2025 decided on the implementation of a long-term incentive program (LTIP 2025) for key employees, to promote the long-term value growth of the company and the Group, and to increase alignment between the interests of the individuals participating in the program and the company's shareholders. LTIP 2025 has essentially the same design as the long-term incentive program adopted at the annual general meeting 2024. The only difference is a marginal adjustment to the annual average growth in earnings per share, which is further explained below, as well as an extension of the period during which participants may acquire shares, from four months following the implementation of LTIP 2025 to the end of 2025. The programs, which are equity-settled, share-based compensation plans are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2, Share based Payments, and are expensed over the vesting period (3 years). At the end of each reporting period, the Group considers changes in the anticipated number of vested shares. Social charges related to the programs are recognized as cash-settled instruments. or more information about the Group's long-term incentive programs, see Notes 1 and 5 in the Annual Report 2024.

Note 2. Segment information

Scandi Standard manages and monitors its business based on the segments Ready-to-cook, Ready-to-eat and Other. The operational segments are in line with the Groups operational structure, which is an integrated matrix organisation, i.e. managers are held responsible both for product segments and geographical markets. An integral part of the Company strategy for continued growth and value creation is to share best practice, capitalize on product development and drive scale efficiencies across the Group. Operations not included in the segments Ready-to-cook and Ready-to-eat, as well as corporate functions, are recognised as Other.

The responsibility for the Group's financial assets and liabilities pro isions for taxes gains and losses on the re-measurement of financial instruments according to IFRS 9 and pension obligations according to IAS 19 are dealt with by the corporate functions and are not allocated to the segments.

Segment Ready-to-cook (RTC): is the Group's largest product segment and consists of products that are either chilled or frozen and ha e not been cooked. These include whole birds, cuts of meat, deboned and seasoned or marinated products. Products are made available mainly via Retail and Foodservice sales channels to both domestic and export markets. The segment comprises RTC processing plants in all six countries, the feed business in Ireland, egg production in Norway, the hatching business in Sweden and poultry farms in Lithuania. Net sales for the segments consist of the external net sales.

Segment Ready-to-eat (RTE): consists of products that have been cooked during processing and are ready to be consumed, either directly or after being heated up. Products range from grilled and pre-sliced chicken fillets with different seasoning to chicken nuggets. Sales are mainly to Retail and Foodservice sales channels, and part of the production is exported. The segment includes five production plants for RTE in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Netherlands, combined with third-party production. Net sales for the segments consist of the external net sales. The operational result includes the integrated result for the Group without internal margins.

Other: consists of ingredients, which are products mainly for non-human consumption, and mainly used for industrial production of animal feed and other applications in line with Scandi Standard's ambition to utilize the animal entirely as it contributes to minimised production waste and a lower carbon footprint. No individual part of Other is significant enough in size to constitute its own segment.

1) The valuation of the Groups financial assets and liabilities is performed in accordance with the fair-value hierarchy:

Level 1. Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical instruments.

Level 3. Non-observable data for the asset or liability.

As of 30 September 2025, and at the end of the comparison period the Group had financial derivatives (level 2) measured at fair value on the balance sheet. Interest rate swaps are valued using estimates of future discounted cash flows while the fair value of energy hedge contracts (operational derivates) is estimated based on current forward rates at the reporting date. As of 30 Septermber 2025, the financial derivatives amounted to MSEK -7 (4) and the operational derivatives amounted to MSEK -5 (-24).

For the Group's long-term borrowing, which as of 30 September 2025 amounted to MSEK 2,134 (1,482), fair value is considered to be equal to the amortised cost as the borrowings are held at floating market rates and hence the booked value will be approximated as the fair value.

For other financial instruments, fair value is estimated at cost adjusted for any impairment.

Level 2. Data other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly as prices or indirectly as derived from prices.
