Consolidated net sales for January–December totaled EUR 21.6 (EUR 22.2 million), a decrease of 2.4%, year on year.
A significant part of SSH Communications Security’s invoicing is US dollar-based. On average the U.S. dollar has weakened 4.4% against the euro in 2025, while in 2024 the exchange rate remained relatively stable. With comparable exchange rates, in 2025 the year-to-date net sales decrease was 0.8% compared to 2024.

BALANCE SHEET AND FINANCIAL POSITION
The financial position of SSH Communications Security was improved during the financial year, primarily due to the investment made by Leonardo S.p.A. in the company. The consolidated balance sheet total on December 31, 2025, stood at EUR 47.4 million (EUR 30.1 million), of which cash and cash equivalents accounted for EUR 11.0 million (EUR 2.9 million), or 23.1% of the balance sheet total. In 2025, the company’s short-term liquid assets amounted to EUR 10.0 million, while in 2024 the company held no such investments. As of the reporting date, the company has fully repaid all interest-bearing loans, including a premium loan from Elo Mutual Pension Insurance Company, amounting to EUR 0.75 million. On December 31, 2025, gearing, or the ratio of net liabilities to shareholders’ equity, was -38.2% (-8.9%), and the equity ratio stood at 78.7% (52.8%).
SSH Communications Security Group
The reported gross capital expenditure for January–December totaled EUR 0.4 million (EUR 1.5 million). The reported financial income and expenses of EUR -0.4 million (EUR -0.3 million) consisted mainly of exchange rate gains or losses, interest expenses, interest expenses arising from revenue contracts, and interest on lease liabilities.
The Group had a cash flow of EUR 1.1 million (EUR 2.7 million) from business operations, and investments showed a cash flow of EUR -10.1 million (EUR -1.4 million). Cash flow from investments includes investment in financial assets of EUR -10.0 million (EUR 1.5 million) and receiving government grants of EUR 0.3 million (EUR 0.3 million). Cash flow from financing totaled EUR 17.2 million (EUR -0.6 million). Cash flow from financing includes EUR 20.0 million received from the directed share issue to Leonardo S.p.A, a change in debt of EUR -0.75 million (EUR -0.5 million), and proceeds from shares subscribed with option rights of EUR 0.6 million (EUR 0.3 million).

Total cash flow from operations, investments, and financing was EUR 8.2 million (EUR 0.7 million).
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development expenses for January–December totaled EUR -9.9 million (EUR -8.9 million), the equivalent of 45.7% of net sales (40.0%). During January–December, the company has capitalized new product R&D costs in the amount of EUR 0.4 million (EUR 1.4 million). Depreciation from R&D capitalization assets was EUR -1.6 million (EUR -1.7 million).
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Group’s research and development activities aim to respond to emerging information security threats and improve product competitiveness, quality, and usability. Also, to increase the mutual integration of products. All product lines have their own R&D team, and in addition, SSH has a shared technology team that serves all product lines of the company. Development costs are capitalized to the balance sheet as intangible assets, depending on the point in the lifecycle of the product.
The Group’s goodwill is based on the acquisition of Secure Collaboration (former Deltagon). The acquisition was closed on 26 April 2021. The transaction strengthened SSH’s position as a supplier of encrypted communication solutions broadening SSH’s offerings portfolio and customer base. The acquisition also supported the Group’s transition to a subscription-based business model.
The Group’s customer-related intangible assets are based on the acquisition of Secure Collaboration (former Deltagon) and were considered as key acquired intangible assets. Other immaterial rights include obtained technology, patents, trademarks, and technology rights. The Group’s patent portfolio has been developed since 1997. SSH’s key intellectual property is protected with trademarks, copyrights and other available means. Obtained technology was recognized in Secure Collaboration acquisition.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Substantial risks that might affect the profitability of the company have been reviewed and updated to reflect the current macroeconomic environment.
The largest risks are:
- Cybercrime, including, e.g., ransomware
- Delays in product development and closing new business as well as phasing of new business cases
- Ability to execute the strategy
- Ability to retain and recruit key personnel
- Maintaining the ability to innovate and develop the product portfolio including intellectual property rights (IPR)
- IPR litigation and utilization of the patent portfolio
- A large portion of the company revenue is invoiced in USD currency, and possible significant fluctuation in USD currency rates during the year could have unpredictable effects on profitability. The company decides on hedging of USD-based contracts case by case.
- Uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment, which can affect both the company's operational costs and financial expenses, as well as customer decision-making and product demand. Factors causing uncertainty include, for example, high inflation and increased market interest rates, a global pandemic, or an international conflict such as war.

SHARE CAPITAL AND BOARD AUTHORIZATIONS
The company's registered share capital on December 31, 2025, was EUR 1,636,244, consisting of 54,541,473 shares.
During 2025, Leonardo S.p.A. invested in the Company by subscribing to 13,333,333 new shares at a subscription price of EUR 1.50 per share, thereby raising EUR 19,999,999.50 for the company. The increase in share capital was EUR 400,000.
In 2025, share capital increased by EUR 7,203 through the subscription of stock options. Stock options were exercised in the financial year 2025 with 240,109 shares.
The Annual General Meeting approved the Board of Directors' proposal to authorize the Board of Directors to decide upon the issuing of a maximum of 4,000,000 shares as a share issue against payment or without payment or by giving stock options or other special rights entitling to shares, in accordance with Chapter 10 Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act, either according to the shareholders' pre-emptive right to share subscription or deviating from this right, in one or more tranches. Based on the authorization, it can be either issuing of new shares or transfer of own shares, which the company possibly has in its possession.
Based on the authorization, the Board of Directors shall have the same rights as the Annual General Meeting to decide upon the issuing of shares and special rights (including stock options) in accordance with Chapter 10 Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act. Thereby, the authorization to be given to the Board of Directors includes, inter alia, the right to deviate from the shareholders' pre-emptive rights with directed issues providing that the company has a weighty financial reason for the deviation.
Furthermore, the authorization includes the Board of Directors' right to decide upon who are entitled to the shares and/or stock options or special rights in accordance with Chapter 10 Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act as well as upon the related compensation, subscription and payment periods and upon the registering of the subscription price into the share capital or invested non-restricted equity fund within the limits of the Finnish Companies Act.
The authorization can be used as part of the company's incentive and commitment programs up to a maximum of 2,000,000 shares.
The authorization will be valid until the next Annual General Meeting but will however expire at the latest on June 30th, 2026.
The Annual General Meeting approved the Board of Directors' proposal to authorize the Board of Directors to decide upon acquisition of a maximum of 2,000,000 own shares of the company with assets belonging to the company's non-restricted equity, which represents approx. $4.9\%$ of all shares in the company. The shares can also be acquired otherwise than in proportion to the holdings of the existing shareholders. The maximum compensation to be paid for the acquired shares shall be the market price at the time of purchase, which is determined by public trading.
The Board of Directors proposes that the authorization for the acquiring of the company's own shares would be used, inter alia, in order to strengthen the company's capital structure, to finance and realize corporate acquisitions and other arrangements, to realize the share-based incentive programs of the company or otherwise to be kept by the company, to be transferred for other purposes or to be cancelled. The acquisition of shares reduces the company's distributable non-restricted equity.
SSH Communications Security Group
Decision concerning the acquiring of own shares cannot be made so that the combined amount of the own shares, which are in the possession of, or held as pledges by, the company or its subsidiaries exceeds one-tenth of all shares. The Board of Directors shall decide upon all other matters related to the acquisition of shares.
The authorization will be valid until the next Annual General Meeting, but will however expire at the latest on June 30th 2026.
The Company and Leonardo S.p.A. on 1 July 2025 entered into a framework investment agreement, whereby the parties have agreed on their future strategic cooperation and the terms on which Leonardo S.p.A. will make an investment in the Company by subscribing for new shares in the Company (the "Transaction").
To consummate the Transaction, the Extraordinary General Meeting approved the Board of Directors' proposal to authorize the Board of Directors to decide on the share issue against the payment on the following terms:
The authorization entitles the Board of Directors to decide on the issuing of a maximum of 13,333,333 shares as a directed share issue against payment in deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive rights in one or several instalments. Based on the authorization, either new shares can be issued, or own shares, which the Company possibly has in its possession, can be transferred.
The authorization can be used to execute the Transaction.
Based on the authorization, the Board of Directors has the same right as the Extraordinary General Meeting to decide on the issuing of shares against payment. Thereby, the authorization to be given to the Board of Directors includes, inter alia, the right to deviate from the shareholders' pre-emptive rights with directed issues providing that the Company has a weighty financial reason for the deviation in respect of the share issue against payment.
The authorization also includes the Board of Directors' right to resolve on the consideration paid for or in relation to the shares, subscription and payment periods, as well as the allocation of the subscription price to the Company's share capital or fund for invested unrestricted equity, within the limits permitted by the Finnish Companies Act.
The authorization will be valid until 30 April 2026. The authorization does not reverse previous authorizations granted to the Board of Directors concerning the issuing of shares, stock options and other special rights.
HYBRID CAPITAL SECURITIES
Hybrid capital securities in the amount of EUR 12 million were issued in March 2015 and subscribed by institutional investors. The capital securities bear a fixed interest rate of 11.5 percent. The capital securities have no maturity date, but the issuer has the right to redeem them after 3 but before 5 years from the issue date, upon certain conditions, or after 5 years from the issue date. The investors had the right to convert the capital loan into the Company's shares at EUR 4.76 per share until 30 March 2020.
A hybrid capital security is an instrument that is subordinated to the Company's other debt obligations, and it does not have a maturity date (i.e. it is perpetual). It is treated as equity in the balance sheet in financial statements. Unpaid interest is cumulated but presented in the financial
SSH Communications Security Group
statements only after Board of Directors' interest payment decision. Paid interest on the hybrid capital securities decreases the retained earnings of the group and the parent company. Hybrid capital securities do not confer on their holders any shareholder rights and do not dilute the holdings of the current shareholders.
Payment of the hybrid loan interest and repurchase of the principal are subject to the Board of Directors' decision. The Group's Board of Directors had decided that interest on the hybrid capital securities was not paid in March 2024 and 2025. The accumulated interest on hybrid capital securities at the end of 2025 was EUR 3,416,276. During 2025, the company purchased EUR 2.2 million of the loan principal. The interest paid when repurchasing the principal of the hybrid capital securities decreases the retained earnings of the group and the parent company.
SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
The share-based payments of SSH Communications Security are stock options. Stock option programs have been in effect in the reporting period or in the comparison year.
The Board of Directors decided on March 26, 2025 on a new stock option program 2025A. The maximum number of stock options is 980,000. The share subscription period will be from February 23, 2027 to March 31, 2029. The share subscription price for the shares is EUR 1.24.
On March 27, 2024 the Board of Directors decided on a stock option program 2024A. The maximum number of stock options is 980,000. The share subscription period will be from February 24, 2026 to March 31, 2028. The share subscription price for the shares is EUR 1.83.
Each option gives the right to subscribe to one new share at a price and at a time specified in the terms of the stock option plan. The option rights will be canceled in case the employee leaves the company before the subscription time has begun. There are no other conditions to the beginning of the option rights.
The shares subscribed with the granted option rights include the rights to any dividend payable for the reporting period during which the shares were subscribed. Other shareholder rights commence as soon as the increase in the share capital has been registered in the Trade Register. More information on stock option plans is given in note 20 in the consolidated financial statements.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During the reporting period, there have not been any significant transactions with related parties, other than agreed remuneration with executive management and board.
EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE
On 9 January 2026, SSH Communications Security announced that David Wishart, VP EMEA, was appointed a member of the Executive Management Team, and Harri Pendolin was appointed Chief Product Officer and a member of the Executive Management Team, effective 1 February 2026.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Basic information about the Group

Our thousands of customers include Fortune 500 companies, the world's largest financial institutions, and major organizations in all verticals. Our solutions guard against the rapidly changing threat landscape that includes both internal and external actors.
We generate shareholder value from a combination of our world-leading expertise, proven enterprise-class solutions, professional services, support offering, and from our strong IP portfolio and well-established licensing operations.
The SSH Communications Security Group consists of SSH Communications Security Corporation and its subsidiaries. SSH Communications Security Corporation (corporate id 1035804-9) is domiciled in Helsinki, Finland and is a publicly traded company, whose share is quoted on NASDAQ Helsinki Oy (SSH1V). SSH Communications Security Corporation has its registered office at address Karvaamokuja 2D, 00380 Helsinki, Finland.
The SSH Communications Security Board of Directors approved this financial statement for publication at its meeting on 16 February 2026. Under the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act, the shareholders can accept or reject the financial statement at the AGM held after its publication. A copy of the financial statements is published as a part of the company's annual report.
The annual report is available on the company website at www.ssh.com, or at the head office of SSH Communications Security Corporation. All stock exchange bulletins are available on the company website www.ssh.com.
In accordance with the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF) reporting requirements, SSH has published the Board of Directors' report and the financial statements as an XHTML file, which is the official version of the report. In line with the ESEF requirements, the primary statements of the consolidated financial statements have been labelled with XBRL tags, and the notes to the financial statements with XBRL block tags.
The PDF version of the Financial Statements and report of the Board of Directors report is voluntary publication.
Basis of preparation of financial statements
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The forementioned standards are the standards and interpretations thereof approved for use in the EU pursuant to Regulation (EC) No. 1606/2002 implemented in the Finnish Accounting Act and legislation based thereon. The notes to the consolidated financial statements are also compliant with Finnish accounting and company legislation.
SSH Communications Security Group
The consolidated financial statements are based on original acquisition costs unless otherwise noted in the accounting principles. The consolidated financial statements are presented in full euros unless otherwise stated.
Converting Foreign Currency Transactions
Items of each subsidiary included in the consolidated financial statements are measured using the currency of the operating environment of that subsidiary ('functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are presented in euros, which is the functional and reporting currency of the parent company.
Transactions in Foreign Currency
Foreign currency denominated transactions are recognized at the exchange rate of the functional currency on the transaction date. In practice, the exchange rate used is approximately the rate of the transaction date. Outstanding receivables and liabilities in foreign currencies are measured using the exchange rates on the balance sheet date. Exchange rate differences are recorded in the income statement. Exchange rate gains and losses on financing are included in financing income and costs.
Translation of Financial Statements of Foreign Subsidiaries
The comprehensive income statements and cash flow statements of subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than EUR are translated into euros using the exchange rate of the transaction dates. In practice, the translations are done once a month using the monthly average exchange rate. Balance sheet items are translated into euros with the exchange rate of the balance sheet date. The translation of the comprehensive profit/loss for the financial period using different exchange rates in the comprehensive income statement on the one hand and in the balance sheet on the other causes a translation difference recognized under Group equity under other comprehensive profit/loss items.
Translation differences generated through elimination of the acquisition costs of foreign subsidiaries and translation of equity items accrued after acquisition are recognized under other comprehensive profit/loss items. When a subsidiary is sold, accumulated translation differences are recognized in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on the sale.
Use of estimates
Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis, and possible effects of changes in estimates and assumptions are recognized during the period they are changed.
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing adjustment to the carrying value of assets or liabilities within the next financial year relate to restructuring plans, impairment testing, claims, onerous contracts, and provisions.
SSH Communications Security Group
New and amended standards and interpretations
During 2025, there were no changes in the Group’s accounting principles.
Changes that become effective later
The Group will adopt new and amended standards and interpretations as of the effective date or, if the date is other than the first day of the financial year, from the beginning of the subsequent financial year. There are no new or amended IFRS standards that are expected to have a material impact on the Group from 1 January 2026.
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements is effective from 1 January 2027 and applies retrospectively. IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. Adaptation of IFRS 18 will be mandatory. IFRS 18 aims to enhance transparency and improve comparability of the presentation and disclosure in the financial statements.
SSH plans to adopt the IFRS 18 accounting standard initially 1 January 2027, however early adoption is permitted. IFRS 18 will impact income statement presentation and disclosing information in notes. The Group’s accounting policies will be amended to include the disclosures for Management performance measures (MPMs) and operating profit according to the IFRS 18. Adaptation of IFRS 18 may impact restructuring income statement including the classification of income and expenses (operating, investing, financing) to ensure that grouping the information in the financial statements is presented according to the standard IFRS 18.

3. NET SALES
| Accounting principles |
|---|
| Revenue Recognition |
| SSH Communications Security net sales derive mainly from software license sales and subscriptions, related support and maintenance fees, and consulting fees. Net sales comprise the invoiced value for the sale of goods and services adjusted with any discounts given, sales taxes, and exchange rate differences. |
| The revenue from product sales is recognized at the time when significant risks and rewards of the product or the right of use of the product have been transferred to the buyer and there is a binding contract between the parties, the delivery has taken place in accordance with the contract, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will accrue to the Group. Control is transferred to the buyer at the point of time. |
| Maintenance sales, or revenue from support and maintenance contracts, are recognized evenly on an accrual basis throughout the contract period. Revenues from services are recognized when the service has been delivered and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will accrue to the Group. Revenues from subscription contracts are recognized evenly on an accrual basis throughout the contract period. Revenues from hardware sales are recognized at the time when control of the hardware is transferred to the buyer. In case the hardware component is not determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations in the contract, revenue from hardware is recognized over time throughout the contract and classified as revenue from subscription contracts. |
| The revenue of royalties from licenses is recognized at the time of payment. Revenue from royalties is not material to the Group. |
| The Group customarily receives short-term advance payments from customers, but also from time-to-time substantial long-term advance payments for subscription or support and maintenance fees. In these cases, the financing component is accounted for and interest expenses are recorded for the duration of the advance payment. |
SSH Communications Security Group
Assets recognized from the costs to fulfill a contract with a customer

The Group recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an asset when expecting to recover the costs, the costs relate directly to a contract that can be identified, and the costs generate resources that are used to satisfy a performance obligation.
Incremental costs recognized as an asset are sales incentive commissions paid to an employee, that relate directly to a contract that is subscription based. Amortization of costs is calculated on a straight-line basis over the period of a contract to which the assets recognized from the costs relates to.

4. OTHER OPERATING INCOME
Accounting principles
Grants
Grants received from the government for the purchase of tangible assets are entered into as a deduction of the book value of the asset when there is reasonable assurance that the company will receive the grant and will comply with the conditions attached to the grant. Grants are recognized as income over the life of a depreciable asset by way of a reduced depreciation. Government grants that are intended to compensate for costs are recognized as income over the same period as the related costs are recognized. These government grants are presented under other operating income.
In the year 2025, other operating incomes include EUR 0.2 million received from government grants (EUR 0.4 million).

9. INCOME TAXES
Accounting principles
Income tax
Tax expenses in the income statement comprise tax based on taxable income for the period and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the income statement except for taxes related to items recognized under comprehensive profit/loss or directly under equity, in which case the tax impact will be incorporated in the aforementioned items. Tax based on taxable income for the period is calculated using the corporate income tax rate (and tax laws) effective in each country, adjusted for any tax from previous periods.
Deferred taxes are calculated on temporary differences between the book value and taxable value. The largest temporary differences arise from unused tax losses which are deductible later.
Deferred taxes are calculated using the statutory tax bases with confirmed content announced by the closing date or with generally accepted tax bases. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable income against which the temporary difference can be applied will materialize in the future.

The amount of Group's unused tax losses, for which no deferred tax asset has been recognized based on the prudence principle, is EUR 7.5 million (EUR 7.2 million). EUR 3.8 million (EUR 3.2 million) of the tax losses are in Finland, and EUR 3.7 million (EUR 4.0 million) in the USA. The tax losses expire in Finland between the years 2026-2034, and in the USA between the years 2026-2044. The amount of unrecognized deferred tax assets from the tax losses is EUR 1.5 million (EUR 1.7 million). The figures include use of losses in 2025 which have not yet been confirmed in taxation.
In addition, the parent company has EUR 47.2 million (EUR 44.5 million) research and development expenses and depreciations not deducted in taxation and the amount of unrecognized deferred tax assets resulting from those is EUR 9.4 million (EUR 9.1 million).
The Group's subsidiaries do not have earnings that would cause tax consequences when repatriated.

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE
| Accounting principles |
|---|
| Earnings per share |
| Earnings per share |
| Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit/ loss for the financial year attributable to the owners by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year. Earnings per share is impacted by unpaid interest of hybrid capital securities. |
| Diluted earnings per share |
| A dilutive effect caused by stock options exists when the subscription price of a share is lower than the fair value of the share. In the calculation of diluted earnings per share, stock options are only considered dilutive when their conversion to ordinary shares would decrease earnings per share or increase the loss per share from continuing operations. In other words, when the Group declares a loss, no dilutive effect will be calculated. Diluted earnings per share is impacted by unpaid interest of hybrid capital securities. |

11. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Accounting principles
Property, Plant, and Equipment
The property, plant, and equipment of Group companies are measured in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated straight-line depreciation and eventual impairment losses. When a part of a non-current assets item is treated as a separate asset, expenses related to its replacement are capitalized and any remaining book value is written off. Expenses incurring later are included in the class of property, plant, and equipment only if it is probable that the property will provide future economic benefits to the Group and that the acquisition cost can be reliably determined. Other repair and maintenance expenses are recognized in profit/loss as and when incurred.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to reduce the purchase value of each asset item to its residual value over its estimated useful life.
- Machinery and equipment: 5 years from month of acquisition.
- Computer hardware: 3-5 years from month of acquisition.
- Leasehold improvements of rental premises: According to the lease term, though no more than 7 years from year of acquisition.
The residual value and useful life of assets are reviewed for each financial statement and, if necessary, adjusted to indicate changes expected in the assets' economic benefits.
Capital gains and losses are determined by comparing proceeds received with the book value of sold assets. Impairment losses incurred through transfer are recognized under other operating costs.

13. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Accounting principles
Intangible Assets
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as they are incurred, except for those development costs that are capitalized if the criteria in IAS 38 are met. The most significant development costs to be capitalized constitute R&D personnel costs and sub-contracting costs. Development costs once recognized as costs are not capitalized in subsequent financial periods.
Intangible assets not yet available for use are tested annually for impairment. Subsequently capitalized development costs are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. They are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives, estimated 5 years.
Software
Software includes acquired software licenses. These assets are entered in the balance sheet at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their economic lifetime. The residual value and useful life of assets are reviewed for each financial statement and, if necessary, adjusted to indicate changes expected in the assets' economic benefits. The economic lifetime does not generally exceed 5 years. The depreciation period for software acquired for internal use is 3–5 years.
Other Immaterial Rights
Immaterial rights include obtained technology patents, trademarks, customer registers, and technology rights. These are entered in the balance sheet at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their economic lifetime. The residual value and useful life of assets are reviewed for each financial statement and, if necessary, adjusted to indicate changes expected in the assets' economic benefits. The economic lifetime is generally 5 to 10 years.
Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets
The Group will review on each balance sheet date whether there is any indication of an impaired asset. Whenever indicators of impairment exist, the book value of such an asset is compared with its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the fair value of the asset less the costs of its sale, or its value in use, whichever is higher. The value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset or cash-generating unit. The discount rate used to calculate the above is pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
Whenever the book value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss will be recognized for that asset. The impairment loss is recognized immediately in the income statement. After the recognition of an impairment loss, the economic lifetime of an asset subject to depreciation is re-evaluated. An impairment loss recognized in prior period for an asset other than goodwill will be reversed if there is a change in the estimates that have been used in assessing the recoverable amount of that asset.
SSH Communications Security Group
Goodwill
Acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method. Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair values of identified acquired assets and liabilities of acquired companies. Goodwill is stated at historical cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill represents the value of the acquired market share, business knowledge and the synergies obtained in connection with the acquisition. The carrying amount of goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if any indication of impairment exists.
The Group assesses the carrying amount of goodwill annually or more frequently if any indication of impairment exists. Goodwill is allocated to the cash generating units (CGUs) of the Group, which are identified according to the country of operation and business unit at the level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined by value-in-use calculations. In assessing the recoverable amount, estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value. Cash flow estimates are based on operative managerial estimates. The discount rate is the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for the main currency area in the location of the CGU (country or business area), which reflects the market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific in SSH Communications Security's business. Any impairment loss of goodwill is recognized immediately as an expense and is not subsequently reversed.

On April 26, 2021, the group's subsidiary Kyberleijona Oy acquired $100\%$ of the voting shares of SSH Secure Collaboration Oy. SSH Secure Collaboration Oy changed its name from Deltagon Oy in 2023. The acquisition increased the group's customer-related and technology-based intangible assets EUR 8.5 million and goodwill arising on acquisition EUR 8.6 million, the total increase as a result of the acquisition on the intangible assets being EUR 17.1 million. Customer-related and technology-based intangible assets are amortized over time, whereas goodwill has an indefinite useful life. The estimated remaining useful life of customer-related intangible assets is 10 years, and technology-based intangible assets is five years.
During the financial year ended 31 December 2025, the Group recognized an impairment loss of EUR 0.4 million relating to Intangible assets, classified as impairment of other immaterial rights in the table above. SSH management assessed the development work on the new secure email product and deemed it was not sufficiently close to completion that the product could be launched in the near-term future. Therefore, a strategic decision was made to direct R&D resources to other products and development projects, and the development of the new secure email product would cease. As a result, the activated R&D work in the intangible assets became worthless and was written down.
Goodwill
Goodwill is not amortized but is tested at least annually for impairment. The group's goodwill from the acquisition is allocated to one of the cash generating unit (CGU), which is SSH Secure Collaboration. The recoverable amount from CGU is determined with a value in use method, using five-year cash flow projections, based on financial estimates prepared by the management. Cash flows for the period extending over the five-year planning period are calculated using the terminal value method.
The key parameters applied in impairment testing are: an increase in net sales during the next year $10\%$ and the following four years $5\%$ , an annual growth rate in projecting terminal value $1\%$ , and a discount rate $17.9\%$ . The key parameters were determined based on the growth
SSH Communications Security Group
expectations of the CGU. The discount rate is the weighted average pre-tax cost of capital (WACC). The components of the WACC are the risk-free rate, market risk premium, company-specific risk premium (small stock premium 4.0 %), industry-specific equity beta, cost of debt, and debt to equity ratio. Tested assets include goodwill, customer-related and technology-based intangible assets, capitalized R&D costs, and net working capital.
An asset is impaired when its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. On the basis of the impairment calculations made, there has been no need for impairment for the CGU for the period ended December 31, 2025. The value-in-use amount of SSH Secure Collaboration CGU exceeded the book value by EUR 8.0 million.
Sensitivity analyses of goodwill have been carried out for the valuation of CGU by making downside scenarios for key parameters. If other parameters remain unchanged, an increase in discount rate over 11.92 % would result in impairment. In addition, an average annual decrease in revenue of more than 8.4% over the forecast period from the 2025 level could result in a need for an impairment loss, assuming that other variables such as EBITDA percentage relative to revenue remain the same.
No goodwill impairment losses were recognized during the accounting period.
Impairment testing of capitalized development costs
At the end of the year, the company has tested the value of capitalized development costs using a growth rate compared to the year 2025 net sales and the year 2025 cost structure. The cash flow forecasts of new products in the market are based on the 2026 budget and long-term strategy estimates. The discount rate used in the testing was 14.4 %. As a result of the testing, no impairment risk was detected. According to the sensitivity analyses carried out, even a significant change in key variables (net sales, profitability and discount rate) would not create a situation where the carrying value of an asset would exceed its recoverable amount.

15. TRADE RECEIVABLES AND CONTRACT LIABILITIES
Accounting principles
Impairment of trade receivables
The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets. Credit losses are recognized in the income statement in other operating expenses.
The Group recognizes an impairment loss on trade receivables when it is expected that the receivable will not be recovered in full. Significant financial difficulties, the likelihood of bankruptcy, neglect of payments, or delay of payment by more than 90 days on part of a debtor may be considered to constitute such evidence for an impairment loss on trade receivables.

Trade receivables' payment terms vary. The majority of trade receivables are sold with payment terms of 30 days net. The Group does not fully record impairment losses on receivables older than 90 days, as historically, credit losses have been very small.
The book value of trade receivables and trade payables equals their fair value because the impact of discounting is not significant considering the maturity of these items.

17. NOTES TO EQUITY
Accounting principles
Share capital
Share capital consists of ordinary shares of the parent company classified as equity. Dividends paid on ordinary shares are deducted from equity in the period during which the decision to distribute dividends is made in the Annual General Meeting.
Share issue costs
Costs directly related to an issue of new shares, other than costs attributable to a business combination, are deducted, net of tax, from the proceeds recognized under equity.
Own shares
If SSH Communications Security Corporation or its subsidiaries purchase parent company SSH Communications Security Corporation’s shares, the compensation paid, including any related incremental external costs, net of tax, is deducted from total equity as own shares until the shares are canceled or transferred. If own shares are subsequently sold, any compensation received will be recognized under equity. The Group companies held no shares in the parent company on December 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
According to the Articles of Association, SSH Communications Security Corporation has a minimum share capital of EUR 600,000 and a maximum share capital of EUR 2,400,000, within which limits the share capital may be raised or lowered without amending the Articles of Association. The nominal value of one share is EUR 0.03; hence, the minimum number of shares is 20 million and the maximum number is 80 million. The company has one series of shares; each share entitles its holder to one vote at the shareholders’ meeting. The share capital of the company, registered in the Trade Register and fully paid up as of 31 December 2025, was EUR 1,636,244.19 (EUR 1,229,040.93), and the number of shares was 54,541,473 (40,968,031).
| Changes in the share capital | Number of Shares | Share capital, EUR |
|---|---|---|
| 31 Dec 2024 | 40,968,031 | 1,229,041 |
| Subscriptions under the stock option plan | 240,109 | 7,203 |
| Share issue | 13,333,333 | 400,000 |
| 31 Dec 2025 | 54,541,473 | 1,636,244 |
During 2025, Leonardo S.p.A. invested in the Company by subscribing 13,333,333 new shares at a subscription price of EUR 1.50 per share, raising EUR 19,999,999.50. The increase in share capital was EUR 400,000.00.
DESCRIPTION OF THE EQUITY RESERVES:
Share capital

SSH Communications Security Group
Translation differences
The translation differences fund comprises the exchange rate differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries.
Unrestricted invested equity fund
The unrestricted equity fund consists of the dissolved share premium fund formed by share subscriptions under option rights and includes share subscription prices insofar as not registered as share capital based on a specific decision.
Hybrid capital securities
Hybrid capital securities is an instrument that is subordinated to the Company's other debt obligations and does not have a maturity date (i.e. it is perpetual). It is treated as equity in the IFRS financial statements. Hybrid capital securities do not confer to their holders any rights of shareholders and do not dilute the holdings of the current shareholders.
The other equity fund consists of hybrid capital securities of EUR 12 million issued in March 2015, subscribed by institutional investors. The principal owner of the parent company, Mr. Tatu Ylönen, subscribed EUR 500,000 of the hybrid capital securities. The capital securities had a fixed interest rate of 7.5 percent until 30 March 2020, after which the interest rate increased by four percentage points to 11.5 percent. The capital securities have no maturity date, but the issuer had the right to redeem them after 3 but before 5 years from the issue date, upon certain conditions, or after 5 years from the issue date. The investors had the right to convert the capital loan into the Company's shares at EUR 4.76 per share until 30 March 2020.
Payment of the hybrid loan interest and repurchase of the principal are subject to the Board of Directors' decision. The Group's Board of Directors had decided that interest on the hybrid capital securities was not paid in March 2024 and 2025. The accumulated interest on hybrid capital securities at the end of 2025 was EUR 3,416,276. During 2025, the company purchased EUR 2.2 million of the loan principal. The interest paid when repurchasing the principal of the hybrid capital securities decreases the retained earnings of the group and the parent company.
18. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Accounting principles
Financial liabilities
The Group's financial liabilities are classified into financing liabilities recognized at fair value through profit/loss or other financial liabilities (financing liabilities recognized at amortized acquisition cost). A financial liability is classified as current if the Group does not have the absolute right to postpone repayment to at least 12 months from the end of the period under review. A financial liability (or part thereof) will not be written off the balance sheet until it has ceased to exist, i.e. when the obligation specified in the agreement has been discharged or reversed and its period of validity has expired.
The Group did not have any derivative contracts during 2025 or 2024.
SSH Communications Security Group
Other financial liabilities (financing liabilities recognized at amortized cost) include, most significantly, trade payables.
The objective in managing Group capital is to secure the ability to continue operating. The structure of the capital can be managed through decisions concerning, for instance, dividends and other distributions of assets, purchase of the company's own shares, and share issues. Capital management concerns equity recognized in the balance sheet. There are no requirements imposed by outside parties on the Group's capital management. In March 2015, the Group issued hybrid capital securities, which are included in the Group's equity.
The indicators depicting the capital structure are the equity ratio and gearing.
| EUR | 2025 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Interest-bearing liabilities | 745,000 | |
| Lease liabilities | 1,103,426 | 1,372,773 |

During 2025, the interest-bearing loans, which consisted of EUR 0.75 million of a premium loan received from ELO Mutual Pension Insurance Company was fully repaid.
19. FINANCIAL ASSETS
Accounting principles
Financial assets
The Group has classified its financial assets into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through comprehensive income statement, and financial assets at amortized value.
The assets are classified at initial recognition; the classification is based on the business model used in managing the financial assets and contractual terms of the cash flows. The assets are initially recognized at fair value. Transaction costs are included in the original book value of an asset if the asset is not to be recognized at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are written off from the balance sheet when the contractual right to cash flows from an asset included in financial assets ends or when the significant risks and rewards related to the asset are transferred outside the Group. All asset purchases and sales are recognized on the date of the transaction.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets that are designated as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss upon initial recognition. In SSH this category includes money market investments. Changes in fair values of financial assets and realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized in the income statement under financial items during the period when they incur. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether an individual financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.
SSH Communications Security Group
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, short-term deposits at banks, and other short-term liquid investments. Assets classified as cash and cash equivalents have a maturity of three months or less at the time of acquisition.
Cash and cash equivalents
| EUR | 2025 | 2024 |

| Change in fair value | 39,209 | |
| Fair value as at Dec 31 | 10,040,209 |
The Group's financial assets at fair value through profit or loss consist of low-risk investment basket, which invests its assets in short-term securities. The fair value of investment basket is based on the market values of the investment objects as reported by the asset management company. Changes in the fair value are recognized in the income statement under financial items. The investment basket is classified at fair value hierarchy level 1, meaning that the fair values are based on the quotation at the end of the reporting period of similar assets or liabilities.

20. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Accounting principles
Employee Benefits
Pensions
The Group’s pension schemes comply with the relevant regulations and practices in each relevant country. Pension security for the Group personnel is handled through external pension insurance companies. The Group applies defined contribution pension plans, in which the Group pays fixed contributions to an outside unit. The Group has no obligation to make additional payments in case the recipient of the contributions cannot discharge its pension payment obligations. Contributions under the defined contribution plan are recognized in the income statement for the financial period during which the contributions were made.
Share-based payments
Option rights have been issued to the Group management and personnel. Option rights are issued with a fixed subscription price determined in the terms and conditions of the option plan.
Option rights are measured at fair value on their date of issue and recognized as a cost in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The expense determined at the time of issuing the stock options is based on the Group’s estimate of the number of stock options to which it is assumed that rights will vest by the end of the vesting period. The fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The non-market criteria are not included in the fair value of the option but considered in the number of stock options that are assumed to vest at the end of the vesting period. On the date of each financial statement, the Group updates its estimate of the final amount of the stock options that will vest, and changes in this estimate are recognized in the income statement. When the option rights are exercised, the proceeds received, net of any transaction costs, are recognized under share capital and unrestricted invested equity fund.
In the company’s industry, it is common practice internationally that incentives are provided to employees in the form of equity settled share-based instruments, such as options. Personnel of the company belong to options plans. An employee leaving the company before the vesting of the options forfeits their options.
On the balance sheet date, SSH Communications Security had 2,809,391 stock options outstanding (2,149,500), representing 5.2% of shares and votes. The weighted average exercise price of outstanding stock options was EUR 1.9 (EUR 2.3). The weighted average of the remaining subscription period was 1.8 years (2.2 years). The exercise price varies from EUR 1.24 to EUR 2.98, and the remaining subscription period is from 0.3 years to 3.3 years.
A person holding option rights is entitled to subscribe shares if employed by SSH at the beginning of the subscription period.

22. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group is exposed to financial risks in its normal business. The purpose of the Group's risk management is to minimize the negative impacts of changes on financial markets to Group's income.
The Group's internal and external financing and the management of financing risks are concentrated in the finance and financial management unit of the Group's parent company. The unit is responsible for the Group's liquidity, sufficiency of financing, and the management of interest rate and currency risk. The Group is exposed to several financial risks in the normal course of business.
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk, the most significant currency being the U.S. dollar. The company reduces risk based on net position, using foreign exchange forwards or options. Currently, the net position is not hedged. The company decides on the hedging on case by case basis. Currently, the Group is not using hedge accounting. Any gains or losses realized through hedging actions are thus recognized in profit/loss.
A 10 % strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro, using with net position on 31 Dec 2025 would increase the pre-tax profit of the Group by 15,000 euros. Similarly, a 10 % weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro would decrease the pre-tax profit of the Group by 13,000 euros.
A 10 % strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro using with net position on 31 Dec 2025 would increase revenue of the Group by 800,000 euros. Similarly, a 10 % weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro would decrease the revenue of the Group by 650,000 euros.
Interest Rate Risk
At the end of the review period, the group had no interest-bearing loan, as the premium loan from Elo mutual pension insurance company (EUR 750,000) was fully repaid during the year. The interest rate of the premium loan consists of reference interest rate and added margin 0,50 %. During 2025 the calculated annual rate of premium loan was 0,80 %.
The money market investments of the Group expose the cash flow to interest rate risk, but the impact is not material. As of 31 December 2025, the Group's money market investment amounted to EUR 10,040,209.
SSH Communications Security Group
Market Risk Related to Investments
The Group's cash reserves have been invested in accordance with the policy approved by the Board of Directors. Assets available for investing are determined based on cash and liquidity forecasts. The objective is to generate stable positive returns and, at minimum, ensure that the invested nominal amounts can be redeemed. Market risk arising from investments is managed by defining neutral allocation per asset class. The Board of Directors approves allowed counterparties and issuers for the Group's investment.
Credit Risk
The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk. At the end of the financial year, the Group recorded allowance for expected credit losses of EUR 37,156 to cover doubtful receivables. During 2025 the Group did not record any credit losses. The aging distribution of trade receivables is presented in note 15. Trade receivables and contract liabilities.
Liquidity Risk
The Group's cash and cash equivalents on 31 Dec 2025 were 10,970,058 euros (2,923,397 euros).
During 2025, the Group's net money market investment was EUR 10,000,000.
At the end of 2025, the Group had trade payables and other short-term debts amounting to 4,800,660 euros (4,640,725 euros). The remaining interest-bearing loan of 0,75 million euros related to the premium loan from ELO mutual pension insurance company were paid during 2025.
Cash management is centralized at the HQ, ensuring optimization of the use of liquid funds between the different units of the Group. The Group's management team follows the entities' liquidity minimum on a monthly basis. The cash flows of the Group are forecasted on a current and a non-current level. The Board of Directors monitors the Group's liquidity monthly.
At the end of 2025, SSH did not have any agreements with credit facilities or loan guarantees that would include a covenant.

23. LEASES
Accounting principles
Leases
The Group leases mainly offices. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods from two to three years, but may have extension options. Extension options have not been included in the lease liability because the Group could replace the asset without significant cost or business disruption. The lease term is reassessed if the option is exercised.
Leases are recognized in the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding financial liability at the date at which the lease asset is available for the use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is recognized in the income statement over the lease period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. The carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
Lease liabilities are included in interest-bearing loans and borrowings.
The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to the leases of 12 months or less and the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Leases in the balance sheet
The Group has recognized the following amounts related to the leases in the balance sheet:

25. GUARANTEES GIVEN AND OTHER COMMITMENTS
Accounting principles
Hybrid capital securities
Hybrid capital securities is an instrument that is subordinated to the Company's other debt obligations and is treated as equity in the Group balance sheet. Unpaid interest is cumulated but presented in the financial statements only after Board of Directors' interest payment decision.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, when it is probable that expenditure will be required to settle the obligation, and when a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. If the Group expects an obligation to be partly reimbursed by a third party, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is certain in practical terms. The Group recognizes a provision on
SSH Communications Security Group
loss-making agreements when the expected benefits of an agreement are less than the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the agreement.
Provisions are measured at the current value of the costs required to discharge the obligation. The discount rate is determined to reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation.
| EUR | 2025 | 2024 |

| Hybrid Loan, Interest | 3,416,276 | 2,534,025 |
26. GROUP COMPANIES
Accounting principles
Subsidiaries
The consolidated accounts include the parent company SSH Communications Security Corporation and all its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are companies in which the Group has a controlling interest. A controlling interest is created when the Group has power over the investee, exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the Group's returns. In practice, controlling interest is established when the Group owns more than half of the votes in a company.
Group-internal share ownership is eliminated using the purchase method. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and are no longer consolidated from the date on which that control ceases. All Group-internal transactions, receivables and debts, unrealized profit, and profit distribution have been eliminated.
The share of the non-controlling interests of the subsidiaries' profits and equity is presented as a separate item in the consolidated income statement, comprehensive income statement, statement of changes in equity, and in the balance sheet.

14. HYBRID CAPITAL SECURITIES/SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
A hybrid capital security is an instrument that is subordinated to the Company's other debt obligations, and it does not have a maturity date (i.e. it is perpetual). It is treated as equity in the financial statements. Hybrid capital securities do not confer to their holders any shareholder rights and do not dilute the holdings of the current shareholders.
Hybrid capital securities in the amount of EUR 12 million were issued in March 2015 and subscribed by institutional investors. The capital securities bear a fixed interest rate of 11.5 per cent. The capital securities have no maturity date, but the issuer has the right to redeem them after 3 but before 5 years from the issue date, upon certain conditions, or after 5 years from the issue date. The investors had the right to convert the capital loan into the Company's shares at EUR 4.76 per share until 30 March 2020.
Payment of the hybrid loan interest and repurchase of the principal are subject to the Board of Directors' decision. The Group's Board of Directors had decided that interest on the hybrid capital securities was not paid in March 2024 and 2025. The accumulated interest on hybrid capital securities at the end of 2025 was EUR 3,416,276. During 2025, the company purchased EUR 2,220,000 of the loan principal. The interest paid when repurchasing the principal of the hybrid capital securities decreases the retained earnings of the group and the parent company.
Unpaid interest from hybrid capital securities is presented in note 18. Other commitments.
