H1 EBITDA of DKK 186m impacted by restructuring and transition costs of DKK 57m

In H1, adjusted organic growth amounted to 2.6% and revenue increased to DKK 6.2bn, while Q2 revenue was below our initial expectations. Solar Polaris continued to see strong growth in the trade segment, but development in other segments proved disappointing.

Q2 2025

Revenue

Revenue decreased to DKK 3.0bn (DKK 3.1bn). Adjusted organic growth amounted to -1.2% (-7.8%). When adjusted for Solar Polaris' deliveries to a major solar park project, organic growth amounted to -3.6%. Revenue in Q2 was lower than initial anticipated.

In Q1 2025, we saw positive adjusted organic growth in all main markets and across all main segments. However, in Q2, an unexpected slowdown resulted in negative growth, particularly for Industry and, to a lesser extent, for Installation.

Adjusted organic growth amounted to -2.1% (-11%) for Installation, -5.7% (-2%) for Industry and 24% (-14%) for Trade.

Revenue from Climate & Energy, a strategic focus area, also showed positive adjusted organic growth, which amounted to 31% (-39%). However, when adjusted for Solar Polaris' deliveries to a major solar park project, organic growth amounted to 1.7%.

Gross profit

We saw a loss in gross profit margin across all main product categories in 2024. Our 2025 guidance reflects our expectation that this downward trend would taper off in 2025.

As expected, gross profit margin at group level declined to 20.3% (20.4%) in Q2 2025. However, Solar Polaris'

deliveries to a major solar project park diluted the overall gross profit margin by approx. 0.4 percentage points, which means that the underlying gross profit margin in Q2 increased.

External operating costs and staff costs

As a result of revenue performance, we initiated additional measures to optimise our operating model, including cost containment, process improvements and staff reductions.

Costs in Q2 2025, therefore, include additional restructuring costs of approx. DKK 5m (DKK 2m), which are expected to be cost neutral in 2025 but with full-year savings of approx. DKK 10m.

When adjusted for restructuring costs, external operating costs and staff costs amounted to 16.4% (15.7%) of revenue.

EBITDA

EBITDA of DKK 112m (DKK 137m) was below our initial expectations.

When adjusted for restructuring costs, the underlying EBITDA margin amounted to 3.9% (4.5%). The results from the individual markets are given on page 24.

Earnings before tax

Earnings before tax amounted to DKK 3m (DKK 34m), mainly as revenue was below our expectations.

Net profit

Net profit amounted to DKK -1m (DKK 25m).

Adjusted organic growth

(Data shown in brackets relate to the corresponding period in 2024)

Management's review

H1 2025

Revenue

Adjusted organic growth at group level amounted to 2.6% (-11.2%), while revenue increased to DKK 6.2bn (DKK 6.1bn). Solar Polaris exceeded expectations, positively impacting organic growth at group level by 2.3 percentage points. However, the rest of the business fell short of our initial expectations by delivering growth of 0.3%.

Gross profit

Throughout 2024, we saw a loss in gross profit margin across all main product categories. Our 2025 guidance reflects our expectation that this downward trend would taper off in 2025.

As expected, gross profit margin at group level declined to 20.3% (20.5%) in H1 2025. However, Solar Polaris' deliveries to a major solar project park diluted the gross profit margin by approx. 0.4 percentage points, meaning that when adjusted for Solar Polaris impact, the underlying gross profit margin improved in H1.

External operating costs and staff costs

The construction of our new logistics centre in Kumla, Sweden, is ahead of schedule. This has facilitated the completion of the relocation of the warehouses in Örebro and Halmstad more efficiently. We moved our inventory from Halmstad to Örebro, thus vacating the Halmstad warehouse earlier than expected. In Q1 2025, this led to approx. DKK 12m in transition costs, which were initially expected in 2026. Fast-tracking the move to Kumla reduces risk and frees up cash by reducing net working capital by approx. DKK 40m.

In H1, we also embarked on a range of measures to optimise our operating model, including cost containment, process improvements and staff reductions. Consequently, costs in H1 2025 include restructuring costs of approx. DKK 45m (DKK 27m), which are expected to generate equivalent savings in 2025 and full-year savings of approx. DKK 70m.

When adjusted for restructuring and transition costs, external operating costs and staff costs amounted to 16.4% (16.2%) of revenue.

Loss on trade receivables

By conducting efficient credit management, including in unpredictable market conditions, our loss on trade receivables decreased to DKK 6m (DKK 11m).

EBITDA

EBITDA of DKK 186m (DKK 225m) was below our initial expectations. When adjusted for restructuring and transition costs, the underlying EBITDA margin amounted to 3.9% (4.1%). The results of the individual markets are shown on page 24.

Earnings before tax

A less favourable segment mix resulted in reduced gross profit margin, which combined with restructuring and transition costs, resulted in earnings before tax of DKK -30m (DKK 28m).

Net profit

Net profit amounted to DKK -29m (DKK 19m).

Cash flow

Net working capital as an average of the previous four quarters decreased to 15.1% (15.8%) of revenue. Net working capital at the end of H1 2025 amounted to 15.1% (14.0%).

Cash flow from operating activities totalled DKK -84m (DKK 209m). Nevertheless, we succeeded in reducing inventories through inventory optimisation, which generated a cash flow impact of DKK 136m (DKK 107m).

Changes in receivables impacted cash flow by DKK -151m (DKK -279m) mainly due to normal seasonal factors. Changes in non-interest-bearing liabilities impacted cash flow by DKK -204m (DKK 278m) partly due to inventory reduction.

Total cash flow from investing activities amounted to DKK -196m (DKK -127m). Purchase of property, plant and equipment amounted to DKK -213m (DKK -42m), of which DKK -195m relates to the construction of our new logistics centre in Kumla, Sweden. Disposal of property, plant and equipment amounted to DKK 76m, which primarily relates to the release of the proceeds from the sale of our warehouse in Duiven in Q4 2024.

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to DKK 25m (DKK -142m). This was primarily affected by changes in current interest-bearing liabilities and by dividend distribution of DKK 110m (DKK 219m).

As a result, total cash flow amounted to DKK -255m (DKK -60m). Net interest-bearing liabilities amounted to DKK 1,670m (DKK 1,334m).

By the end of H1 2025, gearing was 2.8 (2.2) times EBITDA. Our gearing target was 1.0-3.0 times EBITDA. By the end of H1 2025, Solar had undrawn credit facilities of DKK 718m (DKK 697m).

Invested capital

Solar Group's invested capital totalled DKK 3,410m (DKK 3,085m). ROIC calculated over the past 12 months amounted to 6.7% (6.6%).

Activities with a Solar equity interest of less than 50% and activities attributable to non-controlling interests are not included in the ROIC calculation. Invested capital includes operating assets and liabilities only.

Key risks and mitigation

The commercial and financial risks in respect of our activities are detailed in Solar's 2024 Annual Report. No additional material risks have been identified. Solar is not directly exposed to the tariffs imposed by the US or to the US market, but resulting macroeconomic consequences may affect Solar's markets. We continue to monitor market developments closely.

EBITDA guidance ranges between DKK 450m and 510m

Our 2025 guidance ranges between DKK 11.75bn and 12.25bn for revenue and between DKK 450m and 510m for EBITDA.

Assumptions

As mentioned on page 7 in our Q1 report, uncertainty increased substantially at the beginning of Q2 2025. However, we continue to expect a market improvement in 2025, relative to current level.

Revenue

We expect all markets to post stagnant or negative growth in 2025, with a slight improvement in the latter months of H2.

Installation

Overall, we expect to see slightly negative growth in the new construction sector in 2025, but with minor improvement in late H2. With the green transition set to deliver slightly better growth rates.

Industry

The guidance assumes positive growth in Marine/Offshore whereas we expect negative growth in all other subsegments. Overall, we expect the industry market to show negative trends.

Trade

We expect to see positive growth in 2025, which is driven by Solar Polaris' deliveries to a major solar park project.

Gross profit margin

Throughout 2024, we posted a loss in gross profit margin across all main product categories. However, we continue to expect that this downward trend will taper off in 2025. Our outlook for 2025 is for a stagnant gross profit margin, primarily driven by ongoing price pressure combined with lower price increases but also a less favourable mix.

Costs

Contrary to our initial expectations, salary inflation continues to have an impact, in part due to carry-over effects and in part due to collective labour agreements. We anticipate this trend to continue throughout 2025.

The implemented restructuring costs of approx. DKK 45m in H1 are cost neutral in 2025. We will, however, continue to initiate restructuring measures, albeit on a smaller scale. This, combined with other actions, including cost containment and process improvements, will continue to reduce costs.

Financial outlook 2025

Revenue guidance

We expect revenue to range between DKK 11.75bn and 12.25bn, corresponding to an organic growth of between approx. -4% and 0%.

EBITDA guidance

We expect EBITDA in the range of between DKK 450m and 510m.

Ambitions for 2026

We continue to strive for our 2026 ambition of an EBITDA margin >5%.

The impact of the initiatives already implemented in 2025 will, all other things equal, increase EBITDA margin by approx. 0.7 percentage points compared to the guidance for 2025.

However, it is anticipated that 2026 will be characterised by:

• Average annual GDP growth of at least 1.5%
• Low cost and salary inflation
• Pick-up in industry and building activities
• Continued governmental support for the green transition.
