BUILDING MOMENTUM IN A GRADUALLY RECOVERING MARKET
2025 was a year of steady progress for TCM Group as we delivered solid financial results while executing on strategic priorities that position us for continued growth. Despite ongoing market uncertainties, we achieved revenue growth of 6%, reaching DKK 1,279 million, with organic* growth of 4%.
A YEAR OF MEASURED RECOVERY
The macroeconomic environment in 2025 showed signs of gradual improvement, with interest rates stabilising at lower levels and consumer confidence slowly rebuilding. Sales in the Danish housing market rose in 2025, but remained somewhat below the peaks seen before the pandemic. The B2C** segment did not fully provide the expected momentum throughout the year, as consumers were still reluctant to prioritise kitchen renovations and upgrades.
In the B2B segment, the picture was mixed. While the market for new builds continued to show tentative signs of recovery during the year, especially within the turnkey segment, activity levels in the project market remained modest and significantly below the historical norm.
In Norway, which represents approximately 19% of our business, we saw a stabilisation in market conditions from a low point, and TCM Group sales grew 9% organically, primarily through our main partner in Norway, Optimera, albeit the recovery remained uneven across segments.
Against this backdrop, TCM Group delivered total revenue of DKK 1,279 million in 2025, representing headline growth of 6% compared with 2024, while we achieved organic growth of 4%. Adjusted EBIT was DKK
98 million (2024: DKK 90 million), corresponding to a margin of 7.7% (2024: 7.5%), maintaining the improved profitability level established in 2024. The performance reflects our continued focus on operational efficiency, disciplined cost management and the gradual realisation of synergies from recent acquisitions.
In light of TCM's solid financial performance and strong balance sheet, the Board of Directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting the distribution of an ordinary dividend of DKK 4.50 per share for 2025. This corresponds to a total distribution of DKK 46 million, consistent with the company's dividend policy and commitment to providing attractive returns to shareholders.
STRATEGIC ACQUISITION STRENGTHENS DIGITAL PRESENCE
A key milestone in 2025 was the completion of our acquisition of the remaining 55% equity interest in Celebert ApS at year-end. This transaction gave TCM Group full ownership of one of the leading online kitchen retailers in our market, significantly enhancing our digital capabilities and omni-channel offering.
This acquisition is fully aligned with our strategic ambition to engage with consumers wherever they choose to interact with our brands.
INVESTMENT IN PRODUCTION CAPABILITIES
In 2025, we made a major investment in a new automated lacquering facility, marking a significant advancement in our manufacturing capabilities. This state-of-the-art facility enables TCM Group to meet growing demand for lacquered kitchen products with superior quality, enhanced efficiency and an almost unlimited colour palette.

- Organic is exclusive of the impact of the acquisition of four retail stores and Celebert ApS.
** B2C comprises sales where the stores contract directly with the private end-customers. B2B comprises sales where the stores contract with professional customers, e.g. house builders and project developers.

ANNUAL REPORT 2025
The new lacquering facility strengthens our ability to respond to evolving customer preferences for personalised, high-quality cabinet finishes while improving production efficiency and reducing lead times. This investment underscores our commitment to operational excellence and our ability to adapt to changing market dynamics.
PROGRESS IN DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Our multi-year ERP implementation project advanced significantly in 2025, remaining on track for Wave 1 go-live in the second quarter of 2026. This transformational initiative will modernise our ERP infrastructure and deliver an integrated platform that enhances operational efficiency, partner collaboration and customer service.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR



During 2025, we allocated substantial resources to system configuration, data migration and rigorous testing to ensure a smooth system transition. Extensive training and change management activities have prepared the organisation for implementation. Once operational, the new ERP system will provide real-time visibility across operations and establish a robust foundation for future digital initiatives.
AUBO INTEGRATION DELIVERING RESULTS
The integration of AUBO Production A/S, acquired in 2023, continued to progress well during 2025. We achieved additional synergies in sourcing, production and go-to-market activities, further strengthening our position as a leading Nordic kitchen solutions provider. The AUBO brand continues to effectively complement our portfolio, serving distinct customer segments and contributing to overall growth.
SUSTAINABILITY PROGRESS CONTINUES
Sustainability is central to our long-term strategy and value creation. Since 2021, we have reduced Scope 1 and 2 CO₂ emissions by over 51%, ahead of our 2030 target, while continuing to tackle Scope 3 emissions through close collaboration with suppliers.
We have started to see the positive impact of our intensive focus on fostering a safety culture, with no work-related accidents resulting in absence from work in 2025.
LOOKING AHEAD TO 2026
As we look to 2026, we remain cautiously optimistic, though still respectful of the difficult geopolitical environment in which our main markets find themselves. In spite of the geopolitical tensions, we see room for a gradual strengthening of consumer confidence and, consequently, continued moderate recovery in the B2C segment. The B2B project market, while still below historical levels, is likely to benefit to a limited degree from lower interest rates working their way through to increased housing construction activity.
During 2026, we will continue to prioritise the full integration of Celebert ApS into our operations, optimise the value of our newly commissioned lacquering facility, and commence the roll-out of our new ERP platform. These strategic initiatives, combined with our strong market positions and well-established brands, provide a solid foundation for sustained profitable growth.
For 2026, TCM expects full-year revenue in the range DKK 1,400–1,500 million and adjusted EBITA of DKK 120–140 million.
GRATITUDE AND COMMITMENT
We would like to express our sincere appreciation of our employees and partners for their dedication and professionalism throughout 2025. Their expertise, commitment and resilience have been instrumental in executing our strategy and delivering exceptional service to our customers.
Together, we create inspiring kitchen environments at the heart of our customers’ homes. Our ambition remains to be the preferred choice for kitchen solutions in our markets, delivering superior value to all stakeholders while upholding our commitments to quality, innovation and sustainability.
Thank you for your continued confidence in TCM Group.

STRATEGY
While pursuing growth, our objective remains to be among the most profitable and cash-generative companies in the kitchen industry.
STRATEGY
TCM Group's strategy is to deliver double-digit annual growth in the short to medium term across all brands, markets and channels. At the same time, we are committed to sustaining top tier profitability and robust cash flow. We aim to achieve this through economies of scale, optimisation of our production and supply chain set-up, and continued investment in modern manufacturing technologies.
In addition to organic growth, the Group actively monitors acquisition opportunities, primarily within Scandinavia. This approach resulted in the acquisition of AUBO Production A/S in 2023, which strengthened our growth strategy in Norway and significantly enhanced our footprint without creating channel conflicts with Svane Køkkenet or Nettoline. In 2025, we maintained our focus on integrating AUBO and delivering tangible synergies across sales, supply chain and administration.
On 25 November 2025, TCM Group A/S acquired the 55% of the shares in Celebert ApS not already owned, thereby turning Celebert into a wholly owned subsidiary. The acquisition supports TCM Group's strategy of strengthening its position in the fast-growing online sales channel.
GROUP
To sharpen the differentiated positioning of our brands and remain the customer's first choice for the heart of the home, we will continue to develop new, compelling and sustainable kitchen, bath and storage solutions with advanced design, functionality and quality.
In support of our growth ambitions across all brands and markets, we are investing in flexible capacity at our four factories, and in initiatives aligned with our long-term growth trajectory. We will further digitalise processes across our supply chain, administrative functions and retail network, thereby strengthening and continuously improving the full value chain.
Across all activities, we are committed to acting responsibly with respect to people, planet and products. Please refer to the separate ESG section for further details on our strategic targets and initiatives.

CASE: FROM KITCHEN TO SVANE
The repositioning of Svane Køkkenet marks a strategic shift in how we present and communicate the brand. Anchored in a new brand platform, it strengthens our position as the conscious choice for kitchen buyers, primarily in Denmark, but with a growing presence in Norway. Our focus has moved from individual products to a narrative emphasising aesthetics, architectural perspective and professional expertise, making innovative design and advisory skills a visible part of the customer experience.
Svane Køkkenet has long enjoyed prominence in the minds of consumers. Through our latest product launches and recent brand development, we have clarified who we are and what we stand for. A sharper identity and more focused brand expression now enhance recognition and relevance within the market and the organisation.

| STRATEGY | SVANE KÖKKENET The Svane Køkkenet branded store network is fully established in Denmark; however, there remains scope to grow market share within both the B2C and B2B segments. In recent years, we have prioritised the B2B segment to further increase market share as a driver of revenue and earnings. The B2B segment operates on a different cycle than B2C, typically with a longer pipeline. Amid expectations of a B2B downturn due to macroeconomic conditions, in the second half of 2023 we decided, together with our franchise partners, to increase our focus on B2C, supported by investment in showroom upgrades and training of our sales force. This shift proved effective, resulting in double-digit B2C growth in 2024. However, the development in 2025 did not fully meet our expectations, and intensified efforts will be required in 2026. In Norway, our mid- to long-term target is to open an additional 8-12 stores, creating a network of 15-20 stores. Store openings have been on hold since 2023 due to the economic slowdown. By the end of 2025, one partly owned store was divested to a new local owner. We are resuming growth plans for Svane Køkkenet in Norway in preparation for the expected recovery of the kitchen market. | TVIS KÖKKEN Tvis Køkken has opened and relocated several stores in recent years, though a small number of gaps remain in the geographic coverage in Denmark. We will continue to build market share and brand awareness in line with the development of the store network. The rebranding and store investments have delivered strong results in 2024 and 2025, with double-digit growth in B2C sales. | AUBO AUBO is sold through single-brand stores in Denmark and dedicated shops-in-shops in Norway operated by the leading building materials distributor, Optimera. In Norway, the focus is on increasing like-for-like sales across both B2B and B2C, as only a few coverage gaps remain. In September 2025, TCM Group completed the acquisition of the AUBO retail store in Esbjerg, and we are planning for revitalisation and future divestment via new local ownership. | NETTOLINE Nettoline is sold through single-brand stores in Denmark and multi-brand stores in Norway. In both markets, there is room for additional stores to support brand awareness and revenue growth. In September 2025, we completed the acquisition of the Nettoline retail store in Kolding, and we are planning for revitalisation and future divestment via new local ownership. Cooperation with private-label clients will continue at the same level as in recent years. | E-COMMERCE Newly acquired Celebert's online activities through Kitchn.dk, Billigskabe.dk and Just Wood are expected to continue, increasing our share of the kitchen market in Denmark. We see significant potential for further growth in this particular segment in the coming years. |

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK 2026
Looking ahead to 2026, we believe there is a good reason to expect moderately positive development in the markets in which TCM Group operates. Consumer confidence appears to be gradually improving, albeit from a very low level, and sales in the housing sector remain strong, although consumers continue to be wary of making big investments and thus only modest growth is expected in the B2C segment of the kitchen market. The B2B market is showing some signs of improving, but will most likely stay well below historical levels. The market for larger building projects is expected to benefit from lower interest rates feeding through to increased housing construction activity.
In 2026, we will fully integrate Celebert ApS into our operations, maximise the value of our new lacquering facility and initiate the roll-out of our new ERP platform. Together with our strong market positions and proven brands, we believe the 2026 initiatives will position TCM Group well for continued profitable growth.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report contains statements relating to the future, including statements regarding TCM Group's future operating results, financial position, cash flows, business strategy and plans. The statements are based on Management's reasonable expectations and forecasts at the time of publication of the report. Any such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and a number of different factors, many of which are beyond TCM Group's control, could mean that actual performance and results differ significantly from the expectations expressed in the report. Such factors include, but are not limited to, general economic and commercial factors, including market and competitive matters, supplier issues and financial issues.
Our priorities for 2026 include gaining further market share in the B2C segment and in the B2B2C elements of the B2B segment, driving ongoing operational efficiencies across our factories, and sustaining our leadership in sustainability. We will remain agile and responsive to market developments while staying true to our long term strategic direction.
Based on the above we expect the following key figures for full-year 2026:
TCM GROUP ESTIMATES REVENUE FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR 2026 TO BE IN THE RANGE
DKK I,400-1,500 MILLION
ADJUSTED EBITA* FOR 2026 IS ESTIMATED TO BE IN THE RANGE
DKK I20-I40 MILLION
- EBITA excluding non-recurring items.
TCM Group has decided to guide on adjusted EBITA going forward, as we believe this figure better reflects the underlying profitability of the business.

RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk management is an integral part of the management process at TCM Group. The objective is to limit uncertainties and risks with respect to the defined financial targets and strategic objectives for the Group.
Management performs a yearly assessment of business risks. A follow-up process has been established with the purpose of describing and evaluating a variety of business risks within the Group and implementing procedures to ensure risk mitigation. This assessment is discussed and evaluated by the Board of Directors once a year.
Besides this yearly assessment, the Board of Directors and the Executive Management have a continuous dialogue regarding significant risks with potential material impact on the Group.
The risk management, including internal controls in the financial reporting process, is designed to effectively minimise the risk of errors and omissions in the financial reporting.
The Executive Management is responsible for ensuring that risks are continuously identified, evaluated and mitigated in order to reduce the economic impact and/or likelihood of risks being realised.
In the following pages, we describe the main identified business and financial risks as well as the related actions taken within the individual risk areas.

ANNUAL REPORT 2025
BUSINESS RISKS
| RISK AREA | DESCRIPTION | MANAGEMENT |
|---|---|---|
| MARKET RISKS | The Group is exposed to general macroeconomic trends and fluctuations. Specifically, developments in the Danish and Norwegian housing markets are an important factor for the Group's revenue and financial position. | The vast majority of the Group's products are made to order, which, combined with a high degree of flexibility in the workforce, means that the Group can respond quickly to changes in market demand. |
| REPUTATIONAL RISKS | The Group regards the Svane Køkkenet, Tvis Køkken, Nettoline, AUBO, Celebert, Kitchn, Just Wood and Billigskabe brands as some of its most valuable assets. The reputation of these brands plays a crucial role in their attractiveness and appeal to customers. Consequently, maintaining and enhancing the Group's brand reputation is essential for sustaining and growing revenue and profitability. | The Group monitors customer satisfaction at brand and store level, and takes appropriate action when the targeted levels are not met. This, combined with high standards for quality and delivery performance, is Management's proactive means to protect the brand reputation. Brands, trademarks and relevant design rights are registered in the main markets in which the Group's products are sold. |
| CUSTOMER RISKS | The Group is exposed to the risk of losing customers, for example due to financial difficulties or preference for other brands. | The Group's customer risks relate primarily to developments in sales at our 110 branded stores. The debtor risk related to the stores represents the main financial risk and is closely monitored to mitigate the risk of losses, primarily by requiring appropriate collateral for current trading balances. |
| RAW MATERIAL PURCHASING RISKS | Access to sustainable sources of raw materials is essential. The Group relies on raw materials such as wood, steel, aluminium and plastics. Fluctuations in the cost of components (e.g. drawer systems, handles, hinges and basins) and goods for resale (e.g. appliances) are primarily driven by changes in raw material prices and the competitive landscape. Disruptions in the supply of raw materials and components can lead to delays in the production and delivery of finished goods, potentially resulting in increased costs, lost revenue and dissatisfied customers. | The Group aims to maintain multiple suppliers for each raw material and component category to improve commercial terms and ensure reliable supplies. Measures such as efficiency improvements, revised product specifications and sales price adjustments help mitigate the impact of rising raw material and component costs. |
| PRODUCTION RISKS | The Group is exposed to the risk of not being able to fulfil customer orders, for example due to fire, machine failure or lack of personnel. | Fire prevention is a Management priority and is conducted in collaboration with our insurance company. Our maintenance department, in partnership with external experts, performs essential machine maintenance and repairs. In recent years, we have carried out extensive maintenance and upgrades on critical production lines, extending their useful life by several years. Additionally, we maintain a constructive relationship with our production employees, supported by multi-year collective wage negotiation agreements. |
| CYBER RISKS | The Group relies on IT systems in its day-to-day operations. Disruptions or faults in critical production systems have a direct negative impact. Errors in the handling of financial systems can affect the company's financial reporting. | The Group has its own ERP system, which is regularly maintained and updated. IT security is a top priority, and the Group continues to invest in enhanced security measures, supported by collaboration with external experts, to ensure a level of security appropriate for the Group. In addition, mandatory and ongoing training programmes are implemented to strengthen employee awareness and compliance with information security requirements. |
| RISKS RELATED TO POLLUTION AND OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH | The Group's manufacturing activities at its four production sites expose employees to workplace hazards, and waste generated during production processes has the potential to harm the environment. | Optimising occupational health conditions and preventing both internal and external contamination are key focus areas at TCM Group's production sites. The Group has implemented a registration system for occupational accidents and near-miss incidents, emphasising the prevention of future occurrences. An occupational health organisation, comprising Management and employee representatives, has been established and operates effectively. The Group is insured against significant damage to property, plant and equipment, and maintains close dialogue with authorities and insurance providers to further enhance risk mitigation efforts related to fire, pollution and other hazards. |

FINANCIAL RISKS
| RISK AREA | DESCRIPTION | MANAGEMENT |

| LIQUIDITY RISKS | Liquidity risks pertain to the Group's ability to provide the necessary liquidity to secure a capital structure that supports long-term profitable growth. | The Board of Directors continuously assesses whether the Group's capital structure is in line with the interests of the Group and its stakeholders. The Group's financial risks are managed centrally, as is the Group's liquidity management, including cash requirement and placement of excess liquidity.It is Management's assessment that the current capital structure provides the necessary flexibility to accelerate and support the Group's future strategy. |
| CREDIT RISKS | Credit risks refer to potential losses arising from the Group's customers or counterparties in financial contracts failing to meet their payment obligations. | The Group's customer base primarily consists of professional clients. Credit management and payment terms are carefully monitored for each customer segment. The Group extends credit to franchisees and dealers, its primary customers, who generally operate on short payment terms, thereby minimising overall exposure. Regular credit assessments are conducted for customers with recurring purchases. Additionally, the Group utilises bank guarantees, credit insurance and other forms of collateral tailored to different markets and customer categories. |
| CURRENCY RISKS | Transaction exposure occurs when sales and costs are in different currencies. Exchange rate fluctuations may have an impact on the Group's earnings and valuation of assets. | The Group operates with a relatively low risk profile with regard to currency fluctuations. The Group does not purchase significant amounts of raw materials outside the eurozone. Invoicing of sales is charged in DKK and NOK. In terms of invoicing sales in NOK, the Group applies a hedging strategy to limit the impact of currency fluctuations for up to six months ahead. |
| INTEREST RATE RISKS | The Group is exposed to the risk of increases in the interest rate, which may have an impact on the Group's earnings. | The Group manages interest rate risks by applying a mix of bank loans and mortgage loans. It is Group policy to fully or partially hedge interest rate risks on loans if the risk is material. An interest rate increase of 1% will have a negative impact on the Group's profit of around DKK 2.8 million. |

MARKET OVERVIEW
The overall level of the Danish and Norwegian kitchen markets naturally impacts TCM Group. In 2025, the market for residential construction started to recover in both Denmark and Norway, and residential property sales in both countries also continued to recover.
TVIS KØKKEN
Harmoni Color, Kansas

RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION RECOVERING
Residential construction activity recovered in both Denmark and Norway in 2025 following the sharp market correction experienced after the peak in 2022 and the subsequent slowdown in 2023. After stabilising in 2024, activity strengthened as financing conditions improved and market confidence returned, while the impact of higher interest rates and construction costs gradually eased. In Denmark, construction activity has moved back onto a growth path following the exceptionally high activity during and immediately after the pandemic. In Norway, improving financing conditions and strengthening demand for new-built homes have supported a gradual recovery.
Looking ahead, residential construction activity in both markets is expected to continue to improve in 2026 as economic conditions normalise and monetary policy becomes more supportive. This is expected to underpin a continued recovery in underlying demand for kitchens, with activity levels moving closer to long-term average levels, although remaining below previous peak levels.
HOUSING SALES CONTINUE TO RECOVER
The Danish housing market continued its recovery in 2025, driven primarily by increased activity in single-family homes, while apartment sales also showed solid development. The recovery reflects improving market sentiment and greater stability in financing conditions.
Higher transaction activity is generally supportive of kitchen demand, as home purchases are typically followed by renovation and upgrading activities. In Norway, housing market activity also showed signs of improvement after a weak start to the year, supporting more balanced development across TCM Group's core markets. Overall, the continued recovery in housing sales means more stable demand for kitchens, despite residential construction activity remaining below historical levels.

ANNUAL REPORT 2025
BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
In 2025, TCM Group delivered results that showed both strategic progress and operational discipline, proving its ability to navigate in a challenging Nordic kitchen market that continued to experience restrained activity, particularly within the B2B project segment.
The Group achieved revenue growth of 6.3%, reaching DKK 1,279 million (2024: DKK 1,204 million). The increase was driven mainly by organic growth, fairly evenly split between the B2C and B2B segments (e.g. turnkey housing).
COMMERCIAL AND MARKET DEVELOPMENT
The Danish market remains the cornerstone of TCM Group's commercial performance. Revenue in Denmark grew to DKK 1,025 million, a 5.8% increase, reflected in growth in both the B2B and B2C segments. Organic growth in Denmark reached 2.7%, underscoring the Group's ability to maintain momentum through brand strength and a well-functioning retail network.
International markets contributed a combined DKK 254 million in revenue. Norway, our largest international market, faced continued challenges, including an economic slowdown that affected consumer confidence and demand for home improvement products. Despite these headwinds, the TCM brands delivered organic revenue growth of 8.2% internationally.
In total, the Group maintained its branded store network at 110 locations, acquiring four existing retail stores during the year and making strategic investments in its retail presence – particularly within Nettoline and Tvis Denmark. This expansion is expected to strengthen market penetration and support long-term revenue growth. The four acquired stores are targeted for divestment and transfer to local ownership during 2026.
Effective November 2025, TCM Group acquired the remaining 55% stake in the online retailer Celebert ApS, in which it had held a 4.5% non-controlling stake since 2021. Celebert ApS is a well-established online retailer of kitchens, bathroom interiors, wardrobes and white goods. Since it was founded in 2007, Celebert has been a pioneer in the Danish online kitchen market.
GROSS MARGIN AND PRODUCTION
The Group delivered gross profit of DKK 290 million and a gross margin of 22.7%, an improvement on 2024 (21.2%). The gross margin improvement was driven by the shift in sales mix towards the core business, which typically carries higher margins.
However, the year was not without operational challenges. Bottlenecks in production continued, due in particular to high demand for lacquered products. As a result, overtime-related production costs and external sourcing costs were high, temporarily pressuring margins. Implementation of a new lacquering facility was completed in the third quarter, which increased capacity, reduced external dependency and will strengthen cost efficiency in the operations going forward.
OPERATING EXPENSES AND OTHER INCOME
Operating expenses reached DKK 206.7 million, up from DKK 184.5 million in 2024. Most of this increase stemmed from the temporary inclusion of four retail stores and full consolidation of Celebert from November 2025. Excluding this, underlying operating expenses remained largely flat.
Other income increased to DKK 10.1 million (2024: DKK 9.5 million) and includes income from salary subsidies and reimbursements, as well as certain types of marketing subsidy.

ADJUSTMENT OF CONTINGENT PAYMENT OBLIGATION
The contingent payment obligation relating to the acquisition of AUBO Production A/S was adjusted in 2025, resulting in an income of DKK 4.5 million (DKK 9.5 million). The outstanding contingent payment obligation is based on certain sales performance targets for the years 2026 and 2027.
EARNINGS PERFORMANCE
Adjusted EBITDA rose to DKK 135.8 million, up from DKK 125.9 million in 2024, corresponding to a margin of 10.6% in 2025. This improvement was driven by enhanced gross margins and strong cost control.
Adjusted EBITA rose to DKK 110.2 million, up from DKK 98.8 million in 2024, corresponding to a margin of 8.6% in 2025.
Adjusted EBIT rose to DKK 98.3 million, up from DKK 90.3 million in 2024, highlighting the Group's successful operational execution.
EARNINGS PERFORMANCE IN RELATION TO RECENT FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
Reported revenue of DKK 1,279 million was at the high end of the most recent financial outlook of DKK 1,260-1,280 million.
Adjusted EBIT of DKK 98.3 million was at the high end of the most recent financial outlook of DKK 93-100 million.
NON-RECURRING ITEMS
Non-recurring items amounted to DKK 18.0 million and relate to the acquisition of the remaining 55% of the shares in Celebert ApS on 25 November 2025. A net income of DKK 20.3 million was recognised as a revaluation of TCM Group's original 45% stake in Celebert ApS, representing the difference between the book value of the investment as of 25 November and the fair value, based on the purchase price for the remaining 55%.
On the negative side, transaction costs of DKK 2.3 million relating to the acquisition were included in non-recurring items.
NON-RECURRING ITEMS
| Non-recurring items, DKKm | 2025 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Transaction costs related to business combinations | 2.3 | 0.0 |
| Fair value adjustment of TCM Group's 45% stake in Celebert ApS | (20.3) | 0.0 |
| Total | (18.0) | 0.0 |
EBIT (non adjusted) thus ended at DKK 116.3 million, compared to DKK 90.3 million in 2024.
NET FINANCIAL ITEMS
Net financial items amounted to DKK -21.0 million, compared to DKK -26.6 million in 2024, with the main driver of the improvement being lower interest rates and foreign exchange gains of DKK 0.2 million in 2025 compared to foreign exchange losses of DKK 2.4 million in 2024.
TAX AND NET PROFIT
Tax for the year amounted to DKK 16.1 million (2024: DKK 11.8 million), with an effective tax rate of 17.2%. Net profit increased to DKK 77.8 million (2024: DKK 57.7 million).
CASH FLOW AND WORKING CAPITAL
Free cash flow (excluding acquisitions) reached DKK 43.9 million, a decrease of 25.4% compared with 2024. Operating profitability strengthened cash flow, although this was offset by a negative working capital impact of DKK 24.6 million.
Net working capital amounted to DKK 7.0 million compared to DKK -14.3 million in 2024.
Inventory levels increased by 14% to DKK 102 million, of which DKK 5 million related to the acquisitions of four existing retail stores and the full consolidation of Celebert ApS.
Trade and other receivables increased significantly to DKK 127.3 million (2024: DKK 87.9 million), primarily

due to a temporary increase in payment terms for some big accounts at the turn of the year. The payment terms have been normalised at the beginning of 2026. In addition, the acquisition of four existing retail stores and Celebert ApS also pushed up receivables.
Operating liabilities increased to DKK 225.6 million (2024: DKK 198.2 million), primarily due to higher trade payables and other payables following the acquisition of four existing retail stores and Celebert ApS, and improved accounts payable management.
INVESTMENTS
Investments in property, plant and equipment amounted to DKK 16.5 million (2024: DKK 21.0 million) and mainly related to the investment in the new lacquering facility as well as various other minor modernisations within the factories.
Investments in intangible assets amounted to DKK 34.3 million (2024: DKK 28.3 million) and related to the new Group-wide EBP platform, with the first wave expected to be rolled out in the first half of 2026.
ACQUISITION OF ENTITIES
During the year, the Group acquired four existing retail stores for a total investment of DKK 2.7 million, with the sole intention of divesting all four as soon as suitable partners have been identified.
On 25 November 2025, the Group acquired the remaining 55% of the shares in Celebert ApS. The net purchase price amounted to DKK 80 million.
NET INTEREST-BEARING DEBT
Net interest-bearing debt totalled DKK 416.8 million at the end of 2025 (2024: DKK 316.2 million), with the increase attributable to the investment in Celebert ApS and a high investment level. The leverage ratio increased to 3.04 (2024: 2.50) due to the investment in Celebert ApS very late in the year and remains well within the covenants agreed upon in the financing agreements.
EQUITY - SOLVENCY RATIO
Equity at the end of 2025 amounted to DKK 628.7 million (2024: DKK 589.5 million). The increase in equity of DKK 39.3 million during 2025 reflects the net result for the year offset by a dividend distribution of DKK 31.0 million and purchase of treasury shares of DKK 8.3 million.
The Board of Directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting an ordinary dividend of DKK 4.50 per share. Excluding treasury shares, this corresponds to DKK 46 million.
The solvency ratio was 45.5% at the end of 2025 (2024: 48.9%).
PEOPLE, INNOVATION AND SUSTAINABILITY
Throughout 2025, TCM Group continued investing in product development and innovation. Investment in increased colouring capacity and new product launches, including the Notes Bronze under Svane Køkkenet, strengthened the Group's competitive offering and supported differentiation across the brand portfolio.
TCM Group maintained a strong focus on reducing work-related accidents, and we are pleased to report solid progress. For the first time, no workplace accidents resulted in absence from work during the year.
The Group's average workforce increased to 498 employees, with year-end staffing at 545.
Sustainability remained a central focus area. During the year, the Group continued to increase the transparency of scope 3 emissions, establishing a foundation for setting long-term reduction targets aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Scope 1 and 2 emissions increased as a result of expanded organisational boundaries.

ESG STRATEGY AND APPROACH
Our ESG strategy supports long-term value creation by embedding sustainability across all aspects of TCM Group's business. Anchored in our core values and brands, and guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the strategy integrates sustainability throughout the value chain – from sourcing and production to after-sales and service – enabling TCM to manage risks, capture opportunities and strengthen its competitive position.
The strategy outlines transformative targets to guide decisions and actions within three priority areas:
- Climate
- Sustainable work life
- Governance
These priority areas reflect where TCM can create the greatest positive impact while effectively managing ESG-related risks and regulatory expectations. Through a structured and systematic approach, we aim to enhance operational resilience, support sustainable growth and strengthen relationships with customers, employees, business partners and investors.
TCM Group is a signatory to the UN Global Compact and adheres to its Ten Principles on human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption. Following the Omnibus process, the Group no longer falls within the scope of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Although CSRD reporting is no longer required, the insights, data structures and methodologies developed during the preparation process have informed the Group's approach to the Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for SMEs (VSME) and continue to support its ESG governance, risk management and reporting practices.

DOUBLE MATERIALITY ASSESSMENT
TCM Group's double materiality assessment (DMA) process evaluates how ESG factors affect TCM's financial performance (outside-in) and how TCM's operations impact society and the environment (inside-out), inspired by with CSRD and ESRS guidelines. It supports our ESG management system by balancing sustainability priorities with business objectives, driving continuous improvement and tracking progress across the Group.
KEY STEPS IN THE PROCESS
Establishment of a working group: This is led by management and the ESG Steering Committee, with ongoing guidance from external sustainability consultants.
Topic identification: A longlist of ESG topics was developed through research, benchmarking, internal surveys and documentation.
Stakeholder engagement: Key stakeholders – including customers, employees, the Board, brands, investors, suppliers and experts – were consulted through workshops, questionnaires and interviews. Their feedback helped to refine and qualify the ESG topics.
Materiality assessment: Topics were rated on impact, scale, scope, irremediability and likelihood. Scores were averaged and topics scoring 3.5 or higher were considered material, meaning they are significant to stakeholders or have substantial societal, environmental or financial implications.
Review and approval: The outcome and conclusion of the DMA were approved by TCM Group's Executive Management and the Audit Committee.
ASSESSMENT OF TOPICS
The topics represent risks as well as opportunities for TCM Group. The impact of fluctuating energy prices is an obvious risk, as is the use of materials/items that are hard to replace with better alternatives. Working with machinery, etc. always entails a risk of work-related accidents.
We see an opportunity in circularity, as we are already using materials with a high degree of recycled content. We also see an opportunity in continuing our work with diversity. There are no identified material sustainability-related risks besides those related to impacts.
Important topics such as waste, corruption, bribery and protection of whistleblowers do not feature as material topics in TCM's DMA due to the low likelihood of incidents occurring thanks to mitigating actions taken by TCM to address these topics. These topics are considered of ongoing importance by TCM and will be continuously monitored to ensure that the processes in place are working. Based on current knowledge and methodology, the topic of biodiversity and ecosystems is not considered material given our value chain, geographical presence and use of raw materials. The materiality of these topics will be re-evaluated each year.

ENVIRONMENT
We take pride in the fact that all our products are designed and primarily manufactured in Denmark. Good craftsmanship is at the core of our production, complemented by a focus on quality and innovation. We recognise that operations carry environmental and climate-related risks and are committed to continuously reducing our climate impact, minimising production waste and increasing our recycling rate. TCM actively monitors and manages these risks to mitigate environmental impacts and enhance business resilience.
EMISSIONS
TCM Group has been committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTI) since 2023. The Group has pledged to reduce its scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% by 2030, using 2021 as the baseline year. In doing so, TCM Group is following a decarbonisation trajectory consistent with limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, in line with the goals
of the Paris Agreement. Furthermore, TCM has committed to monitoring and reducing its scope 3 emissions, which have been mapped using 2023 as the baseline year. In 2025, our focus was on improving data validity and increasing the share of activity-based data, resulting in a better understanding of our scope 3 emissions. Going forward, we will continue to monitor these emissions and establish reduction targets to be approved by the SBTI.
TCM's scope 1 and 2 emissions account for only 1% of the company's total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These emissions primarily originate from manufacturing sites and from the company's vehicle fleet, which includes cars and service vans. Despite representing a small share of total GHG emissions, TCM considers scope 1 and 2 emissions material because they result from operational activities that TCM can directly influence.
| ACTIONS PLANNED FOR 2025 | ACTIONS UNDERTAKEN IN 2025 | WHAT NEXT? |
|---|---|---|
| Reduce scope 1 and 2 emissions. | Added more electric vehicles (EVs) to the car fleet. In 2025, 38% of our cars were EVs, compared to 21% in 2024. | Non-fossil fleet of company cars by 2028. |
| Improve data collection regarding scope 3 emissions. Define reduction targets and projects for scope 3. | Improved data collection process. Baseline was updated to include a higher degree of activity-based data rather than spend-based data. | All direct materials to be based on activity-based data. Define reduction targets and validate identified projects to reduce scope 3 emissions. |
| Expand product portfolio covered by environmental product declarations (EPDs). | Increased product portfolio covered by environmental product declarations (EPDs). | Automate environmental data at project level. |
EMISSIONS
SCOPE I AND 2 EMISSIONS
TCM Group is committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTI) and to reducing our scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42%, compared with our 2021 baseline year, by 2030. In 2025, we reduced our scope 1 and 2 emissions by 51% compared with our baseline year.

TOTAL SCOPE I, 2 AND 3 EMISSIONS
Of TCM Group's total emissions, value chain emissions (scope 3) account for 99%. Purchased goods and services (category 1) account for more than 87% of total emissions. Category I emissions include emissions from direct raw materials, goods and services related to production as well as emissions related to third-party products such as white goods, worktops and mirrors.

DISTRIBUTION OF CO₂ EMISSIONS (SCOPE I AND 2)
The shift in the distribution of TCM Group's CO₂ emissions in 2025 is a result of the addition of more electric vehicles to the car fleet and the inclusion of Celebert and four branded stores.

ANNUAL REPORT 2025
SCOPE I AND 2 EMISSIONS
In 2025, TCM Group's absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG market-based emissions were 51% lower compared with the 2021 baseline year. However, there was a slight increase in emissions versus 2024, a result of expanding organisational boundaries as well as higher natural gas consumption due to increased activity and colder weather conditions.
We are continuing to transition to district heating and electric heat pumps, and to phase out natural gas where this is feasible from an infrastructure and economic perspective.
All electricity consumption related to manufacturing and administrative activities is covered by renewable energy certificates from wind and solar power.
TCM has already achieved its SBTI 2030 target for scope 1 and 2 emissions.
Going forward, our focus is on identifying further reductions potential, phasing out fossil-based energy and ensuring that emissions do not increase as a consequence of TCM's growth strategy.
ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION
In 2025, TCM's electricity consumption increased by 2%. This increase was due to the transition towards an electricity-based system as a means to reduce our direct emissions, and to increased activities and expanding organisational boundaries.
All electricity consumption related to manufacturing and administrative activities is covered by renewable electricity certificates. We continue to promote awareness of how daily habits and behaviour can impact energy efficiency at our production facilities.
COMPANY CARS
TCM operates a fleet of company cars consisting of 34 passenger vehicles and commercial vans. To reduce our impact, we have updated our company car policy to ensure that we transition to electric cars as existing vehicles are replaced.
RESOURCE USE AND WASTE MANAGEMENT
TCM applies circular economy principles by promoting efficient resource use, minimising waste and extending material lifecycles. This is achieved by using recycled and recyclable materials where feasible, optimising
production processes, and systematically reusing or recycling waste. Circularity considerations are integrated into procurement, product development and operational decisions.
At TCM Group, all waste from manufacturing sites is sorted into material fractions to ensure the highest possible resource value. Wood waste is returned to the chipboard supplier and reused in the production of new chipboards for kitchen manufacturing. Usable wood is repurposed or supplied to local schools. TCM Group continues to prioritise waste reduction and responsible waste management across its operations and value chain in collaboration with suppliers and external partners.
SCOPE 3 EMISSIONS
As part of our commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTI), TCM Group has mapped its scope 3 emissions with 2023 as the baseline year. Scope 3 emissions refer to sources that are not directly owned or controlled by TCM Group.
TCM Group's scope 3 emissions account for approximately 99% of its total emissions.
Our value chain and the production of raw materials used for products produced by TCM Group are predominately based in Europe, where more than 90% of production occurs. In 2025, our scope 3 emissions comprised 102,411 tons CO₂e, 4.5% lower than in our baseline year.
In 2025, we worked closely with our suppliers to reduce reliance on spend-based emission factors and increase the use of activity-based data, providing improved insight into emissions associated with our operations. As a result, our scope 3 baseline has been updated accordingly.
TCM has included third-party products, such as white goods, in our emissions calculations, and these account for more than 45% of our category 1 emissions. Changes in product mix and an increase in third-party products have a direct impact on our scope 3 emissions.
Going forward, we will continue to work with our suppliers to identify reduction opportunities and to define an SBTI-approved reduction target for scope 3 emissions. The reduction of our scope 3 emissions will largely depend on our suppliers taking steps to reduce their own scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. Our focus areas are direct materials and transportation.

ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
CO₂ EMISSIONS ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
To monitor progress towards emission reduction targets, greenhouse gas emissions (expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent, CO₂e) are reported annually. CO₂e is categorised into three scopes according to the methodology of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Standard (GHG Protocol). CO₂ emissions are calculated with reference to GRI 305 Emissions. The tracking of CO₂e emissions is aligned with UNGC principles 7, 8 and 9.
TCM Group does not use carbon credits to reduce CO₂e emissions.
SCOPE 1 - ALL DIRECT EMISSIONS
Scope 1 emissions are related to activities within TCM's control. This includes transport using TCM's vehicles (leased and owned cars) and direct emissions from TCM's production.
The CO₂e emissions are based on the invoiced energy consumption per source. The CO₂e factors applied are based on market statistics for petrol, diesel and LPG gas.
The CO₂e factors for natural gas are based on environmental declarations from the supplier.
SCOPE 2 - INDIRECT EMISSIONS
Scope 2 emissions relate to indirect emissions resulting from TCM's energy purchases, including electricity and heat. The CO₂e emissions are based on the invoiced energy consumption per source. CO₂e factors for district heating are derived from environmental declarations provided by the supplier. Electricity emissions (prior to 2023) are based on market-based environmental declarations. Electricity purchased is supported by green certificates. To ensure accurate tracking, electricity emissions are reported using both market-based and location-based methodologies.
SCOPE 3 - OTHER EMISSIONS
Scope 3 emissions relate to sources that are not directly owned or controlled by TCM. These cover emissions from purchased goods and services (e.g. particleboards, edgeband, hinges, packaging and transport purchased from suppliers) as well as process waste from production sites, capital goods and emissions related to franchise stores. Our reported scope 3 inventory is based on the GHG Protocol, which is split into 15 subcategories (C1-C15):
C1 - Purchased goods and services: Primary raw materials for products are calculated based on GHG emissions provided by subsuppliers. Other purchased goods and services are calculated as categorised spend data multiplied by relevant spend-category-specific emission factors.
C2 - Capital goods: Categorised spend data multiplied by relevant spend-category-specific emission factors.
C3 - Fuel- and energy-related activities: Calculated based on actual fuel consumption multiplied by relevant emission factors.
C4 - Upstream transportation and distribution: Calculated based on A2 from TCM's verified environmental product declarations (MD-23121, MD-23122, MD-24065).
C5 - Waste generated in operations: Calculated based on actual waste data multiplied by relevant emission factors.
C6 - Business travel: Calculated based on milage allowances for employee travel in own cars and GHG emissions from air travel provided by our travel agent.
C7 - Employee commuting: Calculated based on estimates of distance travelled and travel type. Estimated based on an internal employee survey.
C12 - End-of-life (EOL) treatment of sold products: Product use and EOL are based on TCM's verified environmental product declarations (MD-23121, MD-23122, MD-24065).
C14 - Franchises: Calculated based on activity data from franchise stores multiplied by relevant emission factors.
C15 - Investments: Calculated based on activity data from Celebert ApS - based on TCM's 45% ownership of Celebert ApS in 2023 and 2024, but moved to scope 1 and 2 in 2025.
Subcategories C8, C9, C10, C11 and C13 are not relevant for TCM Group.
UNCERTAINTIES AND ESTIMATES
Where possible, activity-based data has been used as the basis for our scope 3 calculations. Where activity-based data has not been available, spend-based data has been used either based on "Klimakompasset" or "Ecoinvent". Products categorised as third-party products, such as white goods and mirrors, which are included in deliveries to customers, are accounted for as raw materials and transport. However, they are excluded from our scope 3 emissions calculations after delivery to the end-customer. This exclusion also applies to the use of sold products and their end-of-life treatment, as these aspects are beyond our control and influence over their design and use.
Employee commuting is based on an employee survey to define modes of transportation, distance travelled and average number of working days per year per employee. It is assumed that the per-employee averages from our baseline year remain applicable for the 2025 calendar year.
Due to the acquisition of Celebert ApS on 25 November 2025, it has not been possible to update our scope 3 emissions to include Celebert's full footprint or revise our scope 3 baseline.
During 2025, TCM Group also acquired four branded stores at different times of the year. Scope 1 and 2 emissions from these stores have been included from the date of acquisition. The scope 1 and 2 emissions from two of the stores were previously counted in TCM's scope 3 emissions as franchises.
None of the stores' scope 3 emissions are included in TCM Group's scope 3 emissions, as their primary activities relate to selling products produced by TCM Group.

ENERGY
In 2025, TCM Group increased its electricity consumption by 2% as a result of its ongoing transition away from fossil-based energy consumption and the inclusion of consumption by Celebert and branded stores with temporary ownership.
ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
Energy consumption is based on invoiced consumption.
Energy consumption by Celebert is included for the full year.
Energy consumption by branded stores is included from the date of acquisition.
The renewable energy share is allocated between TCM Group operations related to production and administration facilities, and branded stores with temporary ownership.
Since 2023, energy consumption from TCM Group operations has been fully covered by renewable energy certificates from wind and solar power, resulting in a renewable energy share of 100%.
Branded stores with temporary ownership are not covered by renewable energy certificates. For these stores, the renewable energy share is determined based on municipal average energy mixes, as defined in environmental declarations.
The renewable energy share from 2023 has been covered by renewable energy certificates from wind and solar power, which brings the renewable energy share to 100%.
The renewable energy share before 2023 is based on the standard energy market mix in Denmark (environmental declaration 2021).
Electricity consumption is calculated as: electricity consumption [kWh] / net revenue [kDKK]

RESOURCES
WASTE
TCM Group continuously seeks to increase productivity, reduce waste throughout the production processes, and work with waste management and suppliers to reduce waste and improve waste handling. During 2025, we continued our efforts to sort waste to retain the highest possible value of the materials. The increase in waste volume is due to an increase in activity and a change in the product mix.
ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
Waste volumes and disposal methods are weighted and reported by waste sorting and handling companies. Reference standard: GRI 306-5 Waste
WATER
TCM Group primarily uses water for sanitation and heating purposes, and we expect this to be relatively stable. Very limited amounts are used in production to support our lacquering processes, and any resulting wastewater is carefully separated and disposed of in the right manner. In 2025, water consumption increased by 12% compared with the previous year.
The company's water stress has been assessed for all locations owned or leased with water withdrawal using the Water Risk Atlas (WRI Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas - Baseline Water Stress, Aqueduct 4.0). Locations with a score of 3.0 or above are classified as areas of high water stress. All locations within the operational boundary are classified as low water stress.
ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
Water consumption covers all water purchased from external suppliers and is based on invoiced volume.
Water withdrawal is based on invoiced volume.
Branded stores are not included in either water consumption or water withdrawal.

5 SOCIAL
At TCM Group, our continued success relies on our people. We are committed to fostering a safe, healthy working environment built on trust and respect where employees can thrive, develop and contribute to the organisation's long-term success. Our approach is guided by three key principles:
- A safe and secure working environment that also enhances personal development.
- Flexibility to support a clear balance between work and private life, and between individuals, teams and organisation.
- Diversity and social commitment.
HUMAN AND LABOUR RIGHTS
For over a decade, TCM Group has upheld its commitment to the UN Global Compact, demonstrating its dedication to human and labour rights. Key risks of non-compliance include potential employee discrimination or supplier practices that fall short of required standards.
Our Employee Handbook and our Code of Conduct provide clear guidance to our employees and suppliers regarding human and labour rights. We implement robust systems and programmes to prevent violations and ensure accountability, adhering to Danish and international human rights standards and equality legislation. This guarantees fair employment and working conditions regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion or other personal circumstances.
Mechanisms for addressing potential violations include our whistleblower hotline and internal controls, which allow employees and third parties to report concerns. We also conduct random supplier audits to ensure compliance with human and labour rights standards. For more information on our whistleblower hotline, see page 44.
SAFE WORKING ENVIRONMENT
At TCM Group, we are committed to providing the best possible working environment. Safety is our top priority, and we place strong emphasis on building and maintaining a robust safety culture to ensure the well-being of our employees. This involves minimising risks and creating the best conditions for a healthy and safe workplace. Work safety has a significant impact not only on our employees, but also on their families, communities and the business as a whole.
In 2021, TCM Group set a target of zero work-related accidents by 2025. Over the years, we have worked tirelessly not only to reduce the number of accidents, but also to foster a safety culture that includes the entire organisation. Although we have not yet achieved our zero-accidents target, we are pleased to report that we have made good progress.
MONITORING AND PERFORMANCE
We monitor the occupational health and safety of our employees by collecting and analysing data on accidents, near-miss incidents and sickness absence. In 2025, we recorded a total of 14 reported accidents. None of these accidents resulted in absence from work. In some cases, however, affected employees were required to perform less strenuous tasks during their recovery.
NEAR-MISS REPORTING AND PREVENTIVE MEASURES
Near-miss reporting is a key preventive tool used to identify risks and implement corrective actions before accidents occur. During 2025, the near-miss reporting process was digitalised, resulting in higher-quality incident reports, faster response times for mitigating actions, increased employee engagement and improved safety awareness.

RISK ASSESSMENT AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
Incident analyses indicate that the majority of accidents are behaviour-related, often linked to employees' overeagerness to perform their tasks well or deviations from established safety procedures. To address this, all employees have participated in training designed to strengthen safety awareness and cultivate a safety-conscious culture. Management leads by example, conducting regular safety walks and organising "safe starts" after vacations.
Based on these insights, TCM Group continues to prioritise behavioural safety initiatives and targeted preventive measures to reduce risk exposure.
OUTLOOK AND COMMITMENTS
Although the zero-accidents ambition has not yet been fully realised, TCM Group remains committed to eliminating work-related accidents. In the coming year, the Group will further strengthen its focus on safety-related behaviours and reinforce the principle that personal safety always takes precedence over operational priorities. Occupational health and safety will remain a key focus area going forward.
FOCUS ON ONGOING LEARNING
We continuously upskill our employees to enhance their value and keep their skills relevant within and beyond TCM Group. This is achieved through on-the-job training and personalised development plans created during annual reviews. We believe training is most effective when it is timely and can be immediately applied in practice.
In addition to internal learning and development initiatives, we also support the development of sales staff for our brands and kitchen installers - an area that we are continuing to develop and strengthen.
TOLERANT WORKPLACE
TCM Group takes responsibility for supporting the development of the next generation of qualified employees by providing opportunities to build relevant skills and gain practical work experience. On a regular basis, students from a wide range of educational institutions and at different stages of their studies are involved in projects with TCM Group. This contributes to
the relevance of their education while providing insight into TCM Group as a potential workplace.
Throughout the year, TCM Group also supports individuals who, for various reasons, require assistance with establishing themselves in the job market. The Group works systematically with apprentices across the organisation, and in 2025 employed 11 apprentices. In addition, TCM Group has increased its focus on recruiting individuals from diverse backgrounds to promote the benefits of diversity within the workplace.
Furthermore, TCM Group is committed to creating positions with reduced working hours, where feasible, and continues to collaborate closely with municipalities to support job clarification and return-to-work processes for citizens.
A TALENTED AND DIVERSE WORKFORCE
At TCM Group, we firmly believe that a diverse and inclusive working environment benefits both our business and society. We recognise and value the differences among our employees, as diverse teams, including management groups, foster better and more innovative collaboration. This leads to improved decision-making and promotes inclusiveness and tolerance throughout our organisation.
We are committed to being a responsible workplace that recruits, promotes and develops employees based on individual competences while supporting diversity. Our recruitment, contracting, promotions and dismissals are conducted without consideration for gender, age, nationality, sexual orientation, physical ability, disability, political opinion, ethnicity, family status and religious or other beliefs. We strive for equitable representation of men and women in managerial positions, and promote diversity and inclusion through our policy, which is available on the TCM Group website.
We continuously work to ensure equal opportunities for every employee, regardless of gender. As part of this effort, we emphasise equal terms and actively identify candidates of different genders when hiring new managers. We also aim for a workforce that balances younger and more experienced employees.
Our focus extends to achieving sensible gender diversity within the Board of Directors, Executive Management and other management levels. TCM Group aims for a gender composition across Management and the total workforce where the underrepresented gender constitutes at least 40%.
Currently, our Executive Management consists of five people, two of whom are female. At the second management level, the underrepresented gender comprises 24%, while in the overall management group it makes up 23%.
Changes in the representation of the underrepresented gender at management level primarily reflect organisational adjustments, including the expansion of the management group in 2025 to support the integration of AUBO Production and Celebrit. Progress towards a more balanced gender distribution across other management levels is expected to be made gradually as the organisation evolves and recruitment activities continue. TCM Group remains committed to achieving its gender diversity target by 2028.

CASE: RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE - SVANE
Through our brands, TCM Group donates kitchens to support meaningful initiatives. One project we are particularly proud of is together with Svane Køkkenet, which contributed fully equipped kitchens and bathrooms to the Ronald McDonald House at Odense University Hospital. The house provides a home-away-from-home for families with hospitalised children, offering private rooms, shared kitchens and spaces for relaxation and play.
Svane Køkkenet understands that thoughtful design is not just about aesthetics and functionality, but also about creating a safe and supportive environment when life presents challenges. That is why it is proud to have contributed furnishings to the Ronald McDonald House in support of its important mission.

Gender diversity is measured with reference to GRI 405 Diversity and Equal Opportunity, and includes all TCM Group employees. Our work with diversity aligns with UNGC principles 3, 4, 5 and 6.
GENDER PAY RATIO
At TCM Group, it is our policy that equal jobs are rewarded with equal pay. Any differences in remuneration are based solely on objective criteria such as qualifications and experience. The gender pay gap is calculated for white-collar workers, excluding Executive Management.
The pay gab analysis includes all companies owned by TCM Group as of 31 December 2025, including branded stores and Celebert.
From 2026, the methodology for calculating the gender pay ratio will be revised to ensure compliance with applicable EU legislation on pay transparency and gender equality, including the EU Pay Transparency Directive. Consequently, data reported from 2026 onwards may not be directly comparable with figures disclosed in prior reporting periods.
TRAINING
TCM Group supports skill development through on-the-job training and personalised development plans. While training time is not formally tracked, we continuously adapt development initiatives to support employee growth and business needs.
MINIMUM WAGES AND COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
At TCM Group, all employees are compensated at or above the applicable minimum wage in accordance with national legislation or relevant collective bargaining agreements.

SICKNESS-RELATED ABSENCE
Sickness-related absence does not include absence due to sick children or maternity/paternity leave.
ACCIDENTS
Sick days resulting from work-related accidents include all days (24 hours) during which an employee is absent due to such accidents. The absence ratio is calculated as the number of absent working hours divided by the total number of working hours.
The lost-time injury frequency measures the number of work-related incidents with absence per million working hours.
The accident severity ratio serves as an indication of the type of injuries that we experienced.
The number of near-miss work accidents registered during the financial year is also tracked. This registration serves as a measure to prevent accidents.
EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT
TCM Group measures employee engagement through a voluntary engagement survey. The engagement score, based on a 5-point scale, is used to monitor engagement across several categories. The survey is normally conducted every two years. However, due to the continued focus on employee health and the integration of AUBO Production and Celebert, it was decided to conduct the survey in 2025 as well, providing an opportunity to track employee engagement more frequently.
The engagement survey participation rate reflects the proportion of employees who completed the survey relative to the total number of employees.
Branded stores are not included in the survey.
Our work with occupational health and safety aligns with UNGC principles 3, 4, 5 and 6.
HUMAN RIGHTS
TCM Group's Code of Conduct provides clear guidance to employees regarding our commitment to human rights. Our policy explicitly addresses child labour, forced labour, human trafficking and discrimination.
We confirm that there have been no confirmed severe negative incidents in the financial year 2025 within our own workforce, nor are we aware of any confirmed incidents involving workers in our value chain, affected communities, consumers or end-users.

members of the Board of Directors and Executive Management. Remuneration is designed to align the interests of the Board of Directors, the Executive Management and the company's shareholders; it supports the achievement of both short-term and long-term strategic targets while stimulating value creation. Please see note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for a specification of the remuneration paid to the Board of Directors and Executive Management.
DESCRIPTION OF INTERNAL CONTROL AND PROCEDURES IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL REPORTING PROCESS
The Board of Directors and the Executive Management are ultimately responsible for the Group's risk management and internal control in relation to its financial reporting, and approve the Group's general policies in this regard. The Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in overseeing the reporting process and the most important risks. The Executive Management is responsible for the effectiveness of the internal control and risk management, and for the implementation of such control aimed at mitigating the risks associated with the financial reporting.
Management believes that the Group's reporting and internal control systems enable it to be compliant with disclosure requirements applying to issuers whose shares are admitted to trading and official listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen.
As part of the overall risk management, the Group has set up internal control systems that are deemed appropriate and sufficient in relation to the Group's activities and operations. The internal control systems are evaluated on an ongoing basis.
The Group's internal control and procedures are planned and executed to ensure a reasonable level of comfort that the financial reporting is reliable and in compliance with internal policies, and gives a true and fair view of the Group's financial performance, financial position and material risks. The procedures and control are furthermore planned with a view to supporting the quality and efficiency of the Group's business processes and the safeguarding of the Group's assets.
Risk evaluation includes assessing both the probability of errors occurring and their potential material financial impact.
In addition to the above, the Group has developed internal control and procedures in relation to the financial reporting process aimed at enabling the Group to monitor its performance, operations, funding, risk and internal control. The Group continues to improve the internal control and procedures in relation to the financial reporting process and believes that the current control and procedures in place enable the Group to be compliant with the disclosure requirements applying to issuers of shares on Nasdaq Copenhagen. The internal control and procedures in relation to the financial reporting process include:
- Weekly reports of incoming orders and gross and net revenue by month
Monthly reports, on a per store basis, of the Group's sales to stores - Consolidated monthly reports summarising results for legal entities, including balance sheet and cash flow results compared to budgeted performance and the previous year's performance, explanations of deviations and key performance indicators
A four-eye principle within the finance department to ensure the quality of accounting records - A standardised authorisation process for most of the invoices received. In addition, a detailed review of cost at account level is carried out in connection with the monthly reports.
ORGANISING ESG
To ensure steady progress on our ambitions and targets, and to maintain and develop ESG as an integrated part of our way of doing business, TCM Group has an ESG Steering Committee that is organised around our strategic focus areas and with the involvement of the relevant stakeholders. The committee consists of the CEO, the CFO, the Head of Product Management and the Head of Supply Chain. It convenes every second month and addresses issues including sustainability risks and opportunities as well as recommendations for further improvements.
The ESG Manager is responsible for strategy deployment as well as identifying and pursuing further strategic opportunities. Cross-functional teams from the line of business support the daily operations and ensure progress in each of the strategic focus areas.
Oversight of ESG performance is among the responsibilities of the Audit Committee.
DIVERSITY POLICY
TCM Group has formulated a Diversity and Inclusion Policy. Our Policy is available on our website, tcmgroup.dk. Please see page 39 for more details of the policy.
GENDER DIVERSITY ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND AMONG OTHER EXECUTIVES
In respect of members elected by the Annual General Meeting, TCM Group focuses on diversity, skills and experience. We aim for an equal gender composition that also reflects essential competences within TCM Group's focus areas. To ensure that the Group's Board of Directors is composed of the right profiles and skills, TCM Group has defined targets with regard to gender and independence. The Group wants a Board of Directors where both genders are represented. We believe this can create the basis for the best debates and add different perspectives and input on how we run and develop the business and approach challenges. For the Board of Directors elected by the Annual General Meeting, TCM Group aims for representation of the underrepresented gender in line with the Danish Business Authority's definition of equal gender distribution. In 2025, the Board of Directors elected by the Annual General Meeting consisted of two women and four men, meeting the Danish Business Authority's definition of gender equality.
INCENTIVE PLAN
The long-term incentive (LTI) programme for TCM Group's Executive Management includes ESG performance-related criteria accounting for up to $20\%$ of the programme.
BUSINESS CONDUCT
Our business conduct is governed by our Code of Conduct, which applies to every aspect of our operations and underpins every decision made daily at all levels across TCM Group.
The Code of Conduct outlines our stance on, among other things, anti-corruption and bribery, human rights, fraud, relationships with business partners, suppliers, authorities and other stakeholders, and the social impacts of our activities throughout the value chain. Where detailed implementation is necessary, it is addressed through specific instructions and staff handbooks.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
Nasdaq Copenhagen has incorporated the recommendations of the Danish Committee on Corporate Governance in its Rules for Issuers of Shares. These recommendations are available on the website of the Committee on Corporate Governance: www.corporate governance.dk
TCM Group complies with all these recommendations.

SUPPLIER MANAGEMENT
Our responsible sourcing practices are focused on environmental, social and governance issues across our value chain. TCM Group is committed to respecting human rights as outlined in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the UN Global Compact. The backbone of our work with suppliers on ESG matters is our Code of Conduct, which is mandatory for all suppliers to TCM Group.
These suppliers are primarily located in Europe, in most cases relatively close to our production sites in Tvis and
Aulum, Denmark. In 2025, 92% of materials directly used in our production were made in Europe.
Our suppliers are assessed on their fit with and contribution towards TCM's ESG-related targets. This is integrated into our supplier management and due diligence processes.
ANTI-CORRUPTION
TCM Group is committed to full compliance with applicable anti-corruption laws and regulations, and recognises the risks associated with non-compliance,
including the risk of obtaining advantages through illegal actions carried out by employees, suppliers, franchisees or dealers. The Group maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy towards corruption and bribery, and is committed to complying with all relevant regulations while actively promoting responsible and ethical business conduct throughout its value chain.
This approach is clearly embedded in TCM Group's Code of Conduct, which applies to both employees and business partners. The policy is supported by internal control mechanisms, a strong corporate culture and a whistleblower hotline that enables early identification of potential breaches. In 2025, no violations of the Group's anti-corruption policy were identified. In 2026, TCM Group will continue its efforts to promote anti-corruption practices across all business relationships.

COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
In TCM Group’s Diversity Policy, issued in 2022, we set targets with regard to the gender and independence of members of our Board of Directors.
The board consists of six members, of which two are women, giving a representation to the underrepresented gender of 33.3%. According to the definition of the Danish Business Authority, we have equal gender distribution. Five of the six members are independent, which is well above the target.
During the year, there were 8 board meetings, with an attendance rate of 98%.
ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
The number of board members is counted at the date of publication.
The number of board meetings only includes actual meetings, not seminars, committee meetings, etc.
The attendance rate is calculated as board meetings attended relative to board meetings held.
Gender diversity is presented as the share of women.
Independent board members is given as the percentage of the total board.

DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION
During 2025, TCM Group distributed dividend of DKK 3 per share. Excluding treasury shares, this corresponded to DKK 31 million.
For the financial year 2025, the Board of Directors will propose an ordinary dividend of DKK 4.50 per share. Excluding treasury shares, this corresponds to DKK 46 million.
DIVIDEND POLICY
The Board of Directors has adopted a dividend policy targeting a payout ratio of 40–60% of the consolidated net profit for the year. The payment of dividends, including the amount and timing, will depend on several factors, such as future revenue, profits, general financial and business conditions, restrictions under financing agreements, and strategic initiatives such as M&A activities or significant investments decided upon by the Board of Directors. Additional considerations may include other factors deemed relevant by the Board of
Directors, as well as applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
There is no assurance that a dividend or share buyback will be proposed or declared in any given year, or that the company's financial performance will enable adherence to the dividend policy or an increase in the payout ratio. The company's ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares may be affected by various factors. Additionally, the dividend policy is subject to change at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
As part of the current financing agreements with Nykredit, the Group has agreed to dividend restrictions linked to financial leverage.

The company's investor relations website, investor.tcmgroup.dk, contains all official financial reports, investor presentations, the financial calendar, corporate governance documents and other material.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
I. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN THE PREPARATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with IFRS accounting standards as adopted by the EU and additional requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act.
The accounting policies are unchanged compared with last year.
Implementation of new standards, amendments and interpretations
TCM Group has assessed the effect of the new standards, amendments and interpretations. TCM Group has concluded that all standards, amendments and interpretations effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2025 are either not relevant to the Group or have no significant effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Change in estimates of depreciation periods for machinery and other technical equipment
In 2025, TCM Group reassessed the estimated useful lives of certain machinery and other technical equipment. Machinery and other technical equipment was previously depreciated over 3–10 years; this has been changed to 5–12 years. As a result, depreciation expense in 2025 is DKK 4.2 million lower, which will be offset over the coming years.
REPORTING UNDER THE ESEF REGULATION
The Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 on the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF Regulation) requires listed companies in the EU to use a particular electronic reporting format for their annual reports. More specifically, the annual report must be prepared in XHTML format with iXBRL tagging of the consolidated financial statements, including notes.
TCM Group’s iXBRL tagging follows the ESEF taxonomy disclosed in the annexes to the ESEF Regulation and developed based on the IFRS taxonomy published by the IFRS Foundation.
The line items in the consolidated financial statements are XBRL-tagged to the elements of the ESEF taxonomy that are considered to match the content of those line items. For line items not considered to be covered by line items defined in the taxonomy, entity-specific extensions to the taxonomy have been incorporated. Except for subtotals, these extensions are anchored to standard elements of the ESEF taxonomy.
In compliance with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation, the annual report approved by Management comprises a ZIP file, tcm-group-2025-12-31-en.zip, which includes an XHTML file that can be opened using standard web browsers, and a number of technical XBRL files enabling mechanical retrieval of the XBRL data incorporated.
GENERAL PRINCIPLES
Assets and liabilities are recognised at historic acquisition cost, except for certain financial assets and liabilities and non-current assets held for sale. Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value comprise derivative instruments. Non-current assets held for sale are recognised at the lower of the carrying amount and fair value, less selling expenses.
The parent company’s functional currency is the Danish krone (DKK), which is also the presentation currency for the parent company and the Group. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements are presented in DKK. All amounts are stated in DKK thousand, unless indicated otherwise.
NEW IFRS STANDARDS THAT HAVE NOT YET BEEN APPLIED
A number of new or amended IFRS standards will come into effect in future financial years, but have not been applied in advance when preparing these consolidated financial statements.
The Group has assessed these standards and interpretations and concluded that they are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements, except for IFRS 18.
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements: This introduces new requirements that will help to achieve comparability of the financial performance of similar entities and provide more relevant information and transparency. The main expected change is that operating profit will include foreign exchange gains/losses and loss on monetary items.
CLASSIFICATION, ETC.
Non-current assets essentially comprise amounts that are expected to be recovered more than 12 months after the balance sheet date. Current assets essentially comprise amounts that are expected to be recovered within 12 months of the balance sheet date. Non-current liabilities comprise amounts that TCM Group has an unconditional right to pay more than 12 months after the balance sheet date. Other liabilities comprise current liabilities.
CONSOLIDATION PRINCIPLES AND BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are companies where TCM Group has control. Control entails the direct or indirect right to shape a company’s financial or operational strategies in a bid to receive financial benefits. When assessing whether control exists, potential voting shares that can be immediately utilised or converted must be taken into account.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that the controlling interest arises and until the date on which the controlling interest ceases.
If ownership is reduced to such an extent that the controlling interest is lost, any remaining holdings are recognised at fair value and the change in value is recognised in the income statement.
Transactions that are eliminated through consolidation
Intra-group receivables and liabilities, income and expenses, and unrealised gains or losses that arise from transactions between Group companies are eliminated fully in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Business combinations
Business combinations are recognised in accordance with the acquisition method. This means the acquired identifiable assets and assumed liabilities and contingent liabilities are recognised at the fair value on the acquisition date. The consideration is measured at the fair value of the consideration transferred to the former owner of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognised as non-recurring items in the income statement as incurred.
Goodwill arising from business combinations is calculated as the total of the consideration transferred, any non-controlling interests and the fair value of previously held interests (for step acquisitions) less the fair value of the subsidiary’s identifiable assets and assumed liabilities. If the difference is negative, it is recognised directly in net profit for the year.
Contingent consideration in acquisitions is measured at fair value on both the acquisition date and continuously thereafter, with changes in value recognised in the income statement.
For acquisitions of subsidiaries involving non-controlling interests, the Group recognises net assets attributable to non-controlling interests at the fair value of all the net assets either excluding or including goodwill. The principle is decided individually for each acquisition.
When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously held interests in the acquired entity are remeasured to its acquisition-date fair value, and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in the income statement.
When a controlling interest is achieved, changes in ownership are recognised as a reallocation of shareholders’ equity between the parent company’s owners and

non-controlling interests, without any remeasurement of the subsidiary's net assets.
SEGMENT REPORTING
An operating segment is a part of the Group that conducts business activities from which it earns revenue and incurs expenses and for which independent financial information is available. Furthermore, the results of an operating segment are monitored by the company's chief operating decision maker to evaluate them and to allocate resources to the operating segment. TCM Group has only one operating segment, which is producing and selling kitchens, bathrooms and storage.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Group sells kitchen products through a number of independent stores, DIY chains and other retailers. Revenue is recognised in the income statement when control of the products has been transferred to the customer. Control is transferred when the products are delivered, which occurs when the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for transfer of risk have been satisfied. Revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. Products are often sold with retrospective volume discounts.
The Group owns a few retailers, which provide installation services. When the Group provides installation services, revenue is recognised as a performance obligation satisfied over time. Revenue is recognised for these installation services based on the percentage of completion of the contract.
When using the percentage-of-completion method, revenue is recognised at the amount that corresponds to the selling price of the work performed during the financial year. The stage of completion is measured based on the ratio between the expenses incurred and the total expenses expected for the contracts. In situations where it is probable that total contract expenses
will exceed total revenue from the contract, the expected loss is recognised as an expense in the income statement.
Net revenue is recognised at the fair value of the consideration agreed, excluding VAT, duties and discounts in relation to the sale.
COST OF GOODS SOLD
Cost of goods sold includes the manufacturing costs incurred to achieve the revenue for the year. These consist of raw materials, direct labour costs, in- and outbound transportation costs, and indirect costs related to manufacturing, such as salaries, energy and maintenance costs, as well as depreciation of production facilities and equipment.
NON-RECURRING ITEMS
Non-recurring items are applied in connection with the presentation of the profit or loss for the year to distinguish income and expenses that are special and of a non-recurring nature from the consolidated operating profit for the year. Non-recurring items are assessed item by item and comprise transaction costs related to business combinations, as well as gains or losses on major disposals.
OPERATING EXPENSES (SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES)
Operating expenses primarily comprise selling and administrative expenses. Selling expenses include staff costs, marketing costs, losses (incl. provisions for losses) on trade receivables, and other costs related to sales and marketing activities. Administrative expenses include staff costs and other costs related to administration.
SHARE OF PROFIT/LOSS IN ASSOCIATES
The Group's share of associates' results after tax and elimination of the proportionate share of internal profit/loss is recognised in the income statement.
FINANCIAL INCOME AND EXPENSES
Financial income and expenses comprise interest income on bank balances and receivables, interest expense on loans, gain/loss on interest rate swaps as well as exchange rate differences on financial items.
Interest income on receivables and interest expense on liabilities are calculated in accordance with the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the interest rate that makes the present value of all future receipts and disbursements during the fixed-interest term equal to the carrying amount of the receivable or liability. The calculation includes all fees paid or received by contractual parties that are part of the effective interest rate, i.e. transaction costs and surplus and deficit values.
TAX
Tax costs for the year comprise current tax and deferred tax. Income taxes are recognised in the income statement except when the underlying transaction is recognised in other comprehensive income or in shareholders' equity, in which case the associated tax effects are recognised directly in other comprehensive income or in shareholders' equity.
Current tax is tax that is to be paid or received regarding the current year, calculated using the tax rates set or set in principle on the balance sheet date. This item also includes adjustments to current tax attributable to previous periods.
Deferred tax is calculated according to the balance sheet method on all temporary differences arising between the carrying amount and tax base of assets and liabilities.
The tax effect attributable to tax loss carryforwards that could be utilised against future profits is capitalised as a deferred tax asset. This applies to both accumulated loss carryforwards at the acquisition date and losses arising subsequently.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is recognised in
the balance sheet as a non-current asset or liability. The income tax liability is recognised as a current receivable or current liability.
If the actual outcome differs from the amounts initially recognised, the differences will affect current tax and deferred tax in the period in which these calculations are made.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill comprises the amount by which the cost of the acquired entity exceeds the established fair value of identifiable net assets, as recognised in the acquisition analysis. In connection with the acquisition of entities, goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units and the fair value of each brand is measured. Since goodwill and the Svane Køkkenet brand have an indefinite useful life, they are not amortised. The indefinite useful life is justified by the long life of the brand, as there is no intention of changing the brand set-up. Thus, it is not possible to determine a useful life. Instead, goodwill and the Svane Køkkenet brand are subject to impairment testing annually or if an indication of impairment arises. The carrying amount comprises the cost less any accumulated impairment losses. A description of the method and assumptions applied when conducting impairment tests is found in note 12 Intangible assets.
Other intangible assets with definite useful life, including the AUBO brand and the Celebert brand/domain, are recognised at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment. This also includes capitalised costs for purchases, and internal and external costs for the development of software for the Group's IT operations, patents and licences. Amortisation is calculated according to the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life of the asset (3-10 years).
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are recognised at cost with deductions for depreciation and any impairment. Cost includes expenses that can be directly attributed to the acquisition. Costs for repairs and maintenance are recognised as costs in the income statement in the period in which they arise.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
I. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
If an asset's carrying amount exceeds its estimated recoverable amount, the asset is written down to the recoverable amount, and the write-down is recognised in the income statement.
In the income statement, operating profit is reduced by straight-line depreciation, which is calculated on the original cost less estimated residual value after useful life and is based on the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:
| Buildings | 40 years |
|---|---|
| Machinery and other technical equipment | 5-12 years |
| Equipment, tools, fixtures and fittings | 3-5 years |
| Land is not depreciated. |
Expected useful life and residual value are reviewed annually.
RESEARCH AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Costs for product development are expensed immediately as and when they arise and are presented in administrative expenses.
Product development within the Group is mainly in the form of design development and is conducted continuously to adapt to current style trends. To a large extent, product development is based on the further development of existing materials and designs, which is why no portion of the costs for product development is recognised as an intangible asset. The Group does not carry out research and development in the true sense, or to any significant extent.
LEASES
When entering into an agreement, the company assesses whether an agreement is a lease agreement or contains a lease element. A lease is an agreement that transfers the right to control the use of an identifiable asset for a period against payment. In assessing whether an agreement contains a lease item that has been transferred to
the lessee, it is necessary to consider whether the lessee has the right, during the useful life, to obtain virtually all the economic benefits from the use of the identifiable asset and the right to decide on the use of the identifiable asset.
The company recognises a right of use (the asset) and a lease obligation at the start of the lease period.
The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which is calculated as the present value of the lease obligation plus any direct costs associated with entering into the lease, any costs for demolition and disposal of the asset at the end of the lease period that the lessee is obliged to pay, and prepaid lease payments.
The right-of-use asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the useful life of the asset. If the lease agreement contains a purchase option that the company expects to exercise, the right-of-use asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the total expected useful life of the asset.
The company's vehicle leases include a service element in the payments to the lessor. This service element is deducted from the lease payment when measuring the lease obligation. Where the company cannot reliably separate lease and non-lease items, it is considered a single lease payment.
Short leases of less than 12 months and leases where the underlying asset has a low value are not recognised in the balance sheet.
The lease obligation, which is recognised under lease liabilities, is measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted by the company's incremental loan interest rate if the implicit interest rate is not stated in the lease agreement or cannot reasonably be determined. The lease payment consists of fixed and variable lease payments that are regulated by index
or interest rate, guaranteed residual values, the exercise of purchase options and the cost of cancelling the lease. The lease obligation is subsequently adjusted if:
- The value of the index or interest rate on which the lease payments are based changes.
- There is a change in the exercise of options to extend or shorten the lease period due to a material event or material change in circumstances that are within the control of the lessee.
- The lease term is changed as a result of exercising an option to extend or shorten the lease term.
- The estimate of a residual value guarantee is changed.
- The contract is renegotiated or modified.
Subsequent adjustment of the lease obligation is recognised as a correction to the right-of-use asset. However, if the right-of-use asset has a value of DKK 0, a negative reassessment of the right-of-use asset is recognised in the income statement.
Lease period
The company recognises the lease obligations on the basis of the future payments during the lease period. The lease period consists of the non-cancellable period and periods covered by extension and termination options.
The company rents properties for production and for retail leases. Often leases do not have a fixed expiry date, but continue after the non-cancellable period until the lessee terminates the contract. When determining the lease term, the company therefore assesses whether it is reasonably certain of exercising or not exercising extension options.
Retail leases are in all cases subleased to franchisees on the same terms, for which reason the lease term is estimated to be the same period. The right-of-use asset is therefore recognised under lease receivables in the balance sheet.
Incremental borrowing rate
The company has chosen to subdivide its leases into the following categories:
- Rental contracts for premises
- Vehicles
The borrowing rate is set on initial recognition. If the company considers there is a change in the residual value guarantee, termination or renewal options, the incremental borrowing rate is revised.
For the company's vehicles, the incremental borrowing rate is calculated based on the company's borrowing rate. This interest rate takes into account credit assessments, collateral, leasing periods, etc.
For rental contracts for premises, the possibility of using mortgage financing of real estate has been taken into account when calculating the incremental borrowing rate.
INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES
Investments in associates are measured using the equity method, whereby the investments in the balance sheet are measured at the proportionate share of the companies' net asset value calculated in accordance with the Group's accounting policy after elimination of the proportionate share of unrealised internal profit/loss and with addition of value added on acquisition, including goodwill.
Investments in associates are tested for impairment if an indication of impairment arises.
INVENTORIES
Inventories comprise finished and semi-finished products and raw materials. Inventories are valued according to the first-in, first-out (FIFO) principle, at the lower of cost and net realisable value on the balance sheet date. The realisable value comprises the estimated sales price in the ongoing operations less selling expenses. Cost of finished and semi-finished products is measured at manufacturing cost including raw materials, direct labour, other direct expenses and production-related overheads based on normal production capacity.
Intra-group profits on inventories are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
I. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments recognised in the balance sheet include cash and cash equivalents, loans, trade receivables and derivative instruments on the asset side. On the liability side, there are trade payables, loan liabilities and derivative instruments.
Recognition in and derecognition from the balance sheet
A financial asset or a financial liability is entered in the balance sheet when the company becomes a party in accordance with the contractual terms of the instrument. A receivable is recognised when the company has performed a service and a contractual payment obligation arises for the counterparty, even if no invoice has been issued. Trade receivables are recognised in the balance sheet when revenue is recognised and an invoice has been issued. A liability is recognised when the counterparty has performed a service and a contractual payment obligation arises, even if an invoice has not been received. Accounts payable are recognised when a service or product has been received.
A financial asset is derecognised from the balance sheet when the rights resulting from the agreement have been realised, expire or the company loses control over them. The same applies to a part of a financial asset. A financial liability is derecognised from the balance sheet when the obligation resulting from the agreement has been realised or is extinguished in some other manner. The same applies to a part of a financial liability.
A financial asset and a financial liability may only be offset against each other and recognised net in the balance sheet if there is a legal right to offset the amounts and the intention is to settle the items in a net amount or to simultaneously sell the asset and settle the debt.
The acquisition or divestment of financial assets is recognised on the transaction date for on--demand transactions, which is the date when the company undertakes to acquire or sell the asset.
Measurement
Financial instruments that are not derivative instruments are initially recognised at cost corresponding to the instrument's fair value plus transaction costs. Transaction costs for derivative instruments are immediately expensed. On initial recognition, a financial instrument is classified on the basis of the purpose underlying the acquisition of the instrument. This classification determines how the financial instrument is measured after initial recognition, as described below. For the recognition of derivative instruments, refer to cash flow hedges below.
Receivables and liabilities in foreign currencies
Receivables and liabilities in foreign currencies are valued at the balance sheet date rate. Exchange rate fluctuations pertaining to operating receivables and liabilities are recognised in operating profit, while exchange rate fluctuations pertaining to financial receivables and liabilities are recognised in net financial items.
Loans and trade receivables
Loans and trade receivables comprise financial assets that are not derivative instruments, that have fixed or fixable payments and that are not listed on an active market. For TCM Group, this category includes non--current financial assets, and trade receivables and other receivables recognised as current assets. These assets are valued at amortised cost. Amortised cost is determined based on the effective rate calculated on the acquisition date. Loans and trade receivables are recognised at the amounts that are expected to be received, i.e. less any provisions for decreases in value. Receivables with short maturities are not discounted.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash and bank balances and short--term investments with maturities not exceeding three months from the acquisition date.
Financial liabilities
All transactions pertaining to financial liabilities are recognised on the settlement date. Liabilities (except for derivative instruments with negative values) are measured at amortised cost.
Financial liabilities related to contingent payment obligations are initially measured at fair value based on the estimated future performance of the acquired entity. These assumptions are then reviewed at each balance sheet date and the contingent payment obligation adjusted accordingly, with the adjustment being recognised in other income/other expenses.
Cash flow hedges, interest rate risk
Interest swaps can be used to hedge the uncertainty of highly probable forecast interest rate flows for borrowing at variable interest, whereby the company receives variable interest and pays fixed interest. Interest rate swaps are measured at fair value in the balance sheet. The interest coupon portion is recognised in the income statement on an ongoing basis as a portion of interest expense. Unrealised changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps are recognised in other comprehensive income and are included as a portion of the hedging reserve until the hedged item impacts net profit for the year and as long as the criteria for hedge accounting and effectiveness are fulfilled. The gain or loss attributable to the ineffective portion of unrealised changes in the value of interest rate swaps is recognised in the income statement.
Derivative financial instruments
On initial recognition in the balance sheet, derivative financial instruments are measured at cost and subsequently at fair value. Derivative financial instruments are recognised under other receivables/other payables.
Changes that comply with the requirements for hedging of the future cash flow of a recognised asset or liability are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
IMPAIRMENT
The carrying amounts of the Group's non--financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date for indications of impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated in accordance with IAS 36. Financial assets are tested for impairment in accordance with IFRS 9.
Impairment testing of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment
If there is an indication of impairment, the recoverable amount of the asset is tested in accordance with IAS 36 (see below). For goodwill and assets with indefinite life, e.g. certain brands, the recoverable amount is calculated annually. When testing for impairment, if it is not possible to establish essentially independent cash flows for an individual asset, the assets must be grouped at the lowest level at which it is possible to identify essentially independent cash flows, known as cash--generating units (CGUs).
Impairment losses are recognised when the carrying amount of an asset or a CGU exceeds the recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses related to assets attributable to a CGU are primarily allocated to goodwill. Subsequently, other assets included in the CGU are impaired on a proportionate basis.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less selling expenses and value in use. When calculating the value in use, future cash flows are discounted using a discount factor that takes into account the risk--free interest rate and the risk associated with the specific asset or CGU.
Impairment of financial assets
Trade receivables are recognised initially at their transaction price less allowance for expected credit losses over the lifetime of the receivable and are subsequently measured at amortised cost adjusted for changes in expected credit losses. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated based on the level of unsecured balances past due.
Receivables that the Group has no reasonable expectation of recovering are written off in part or entirely.
Allowances for expected credit losses and write--offs for trade receivables are recognised in the income statement and included in selling expenses.

Impairment reversal
An impairment loss on assets that come under the scope of IAS 36 is reversed if there is an indication that the impairment is no longer pertinent and that there has been a change in the assumptions upon which the calculation of the recoverable amount was based. However, an impairment loss on goodwill and brands with indefinite useful life is never reversed. A reversal is only performed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset after the reversal does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been recognised, less depreciation where applicable, if no impairment had been posted.
An impairment loss on loans and trade receivables recognised at amortised cost is reversed if the previous reasons for the impairment loss no longer exist and full payment can be expected to be received from the customer.
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
A contingent liability is disclosed when the company has a possible obligation deriving from an event the existence of which will be confirmed only by one or more uncertain future events, or when there is an obligation that has not been recognised as a liability or provision because an outflow of resources is not likely to be required, or alternatively because it is not possible to estimate the amount concerned sufficiently reliably.
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Dividends
Dividends are recognised as a liability after the Annual General Meeting has approved the dividend.
Treasury shares
Treasury shares are primarily acquired to finance TCM Group's share-based long-term incentive programme for the Executive Management. Treasury shares are deducted from the share capital on cancellation at their nominal value of DKK 0.1 per share. Differences between this amount and the amount paid to acquire or received for disposing of treasury shares are deducted directly in retained earnings.
STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
The cash flow statement shows the cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the year, the year's changes in cash and cash equivalents as well as cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and end of the year.
The cash flow effect of acquisitions and disposals of entities is shown separately in cash flows from investing activities. Cash flows from acquired entities are recognised in the cash flow statement from the date of acquisition, and cash flows from entities disposed of are recognised up until the date of disposal.
Cash flows from operating activities are calculated according to the indirect method as operating profit adjusted for non-cash operating items, changes in working capital and corporation tax paid.
Cash flows from investing activities comprise payments in connection with acquisitions and disposals of entities and activities, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, and other non-current assets as well as dividends received.
Cash flows from financing activities comprise changes in the size or composition of the share capital and related costs as well as the raising of loans, repayment of interest-bearing debt, interest and payment of dividends to shareholders.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
The calculation of earnings per share is based on consolidated net profit attributable to the parent company shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. When calculating earnings per share after dilution, the average number of shares outstanding is adjusted to take into account the dilutive effects of potential ordinary shares, including employee share options. The options are dilutive if the exercise price is lower than the share price. The greater the difference between the exercise price and the share price, the greater the dilution. For options, the exercise price is added to the value of future services.
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Long-term remuneration
The Group operates schemes that reward employees for long service. The obligation is deemed insignificant and the Group therefore recognises the expense at the time of the employee's anniversary.
The Group has an equity-settled, share-based long-term incentive (LTI) programme for the Executive Management, which is governed by the Remuneration Policy. The LTI is a share-based programme consisting of annual individual performance share unit (PSU) plans with rolling 3-year performance periods. The fair value of employee services rendered in return for the grant of shares is recognised as an expense and allocated over the vesting period. At the end of each reporting period, TCM Group revises its estimates of the number of shares expected to vest. TCM Group recognises the impact of the revision, if any, of the original estimates in the income statement and in a corresponding adjustment to equity over the remaining vesting period. Adjustments relating to prior years are included in the income statement in the year of adjustment.
Short-term remuneration
Short-term remuneration of employees is calculated without discounting and is recognised as a cost when the related services are rendered. A provision is recognised for the anticipated cost of bonus payments when the Group has a current legal or contractual obligation to make such payments, based on the services being rendered by the employees and the possibility of reliably estimating the obligation.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires Management to make assessments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the recognised amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual outcome may differ from these estimates and assessments. Estimates and assumptions are regularly reviewed. Changes to estimates are recognised in the period in which the change is made if the change affects only that period, or in the period in which the change is made and future periods if the change affects both current and future periods. Assessments made by Management in the application of IFRS that have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and estimates made that may lead to significant adjustments in the consolidated financial statements in future financial years are primarily the following:
IMPAIRMENT TESTING OF GOODWILL AND BRANDS
Goodwill and brands with indefinite useful life are recognised at cost less any accumulated impairment. The Group performs annual impairment tests of goodwill and brands in accordance with the accounting policies. The assumptions and assessments made pertaining to expected cash flows and the discount rate in the form of weighted average cost of capital are described in note 12.
ACQUISITION OF ENTITIES
In applying the acquisition method of accounting, estimates are an integral part of assessing fair values of several identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as observable market prices are typically not available. Valuation techniques where estimates are applied typically relate to determining the present value of future uncertain cash flows or assessing other events in which the outcome is uncertain at the date of acquisition. Significant estimates are typically applied in accounting for intangible assets, deferred tax, contingent consideration and contingent liabilities.

3. FINANCIAL RISKS
FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK
TCM Group has currency exposure and risks related to sales in NOK. In accordance with the Group's foreign currency policy, forward contracts are used to mitigate such risks. Forward contracts are used to hedge 50-100% of the expected cash flows in NOK on a 6-month rolling basis. Based on the net position (trade receivables and bank deposits less trade payables) in NOK at the balance sheet date, a 10% change in the year-end rate would impact net profit and equity by DKK 3.5 million. Apart from NOK, revenue is only invoiced in DKK, and purchases are mainly in DKK or EUR. Due to the current fixed rate of the DKK vis-à-vis EUR, EUR cash flows related to purchases were not hedged during the year. Purchase-related cash flows in currencies other than DKK, EUR and NOK amounted to DKK 2.0 million (2024: DKK 1.4 million) and were not hedged during the year.
CREDIT RISK
TCM Group's customer base comprises professional customers. Credit management and payment terms are monitored for each customer group. Customers who make regular purchases are subject to continuous credit assessments. Credit insurance, bank guarantees and other collateral are utilised for the different markets and customer categories.
Actual losses on trade receivables in 2025 amounted to DKK 2.2 million (2024: DKK 4.3 million), primarily related to bankruptcies of two stores in Denmark and Norway. Expensed actual losses of DKK 2.2 million and the decrease in provisions of DKK 0.1 million amounted to a total of DKK 2.1 million, equal to 0.2% of net revenue for the year.
FINANCIAL EXPOSURE AND LIQUIDITY RISK
The Group maintains four credit facilities with Nykredit Bank:
1) DKK 220 million committed facility: This facility has been extended by 1 year and expires in March 2027. It includes one further 1-year extension option available on similar terms.
2) DKK 110 million committed facility: Established in 2023 to support the acquisition of AUBO Production A/S, this facility has been extended by 2 years and expires in 2028.
3) DKK 50 million uncommitted facility: This 1-year facility expires in March 2026.
4) DKK 50 million committed facility: Established in 2025 to support the acquisition of Celebert ApS, this facility expires in 2030.
At 31 December 2025, the book value of the credit facilities was DKK 322 million and the facilities comprised an unused amount of DKK 108 million with a further DKK 31 million in cash. Based on our scenarios for 2026, the current credit facilities provide sufficient headroom, and the forecast leverage will be within the covenants agreed in the credit facility agreements.
The facility agreements with Nykredit Bank contain a leverage covenant of 4.0 for the remaining financing period. No covenants were breached during the period.
Mortgage loans with a nominal amount of DKK 35 million (2024: DKK 36 million) are amortised over 20 years and expire in 2044.
INTEREST-RATE RISK
It is Group policy to hedge interest rate risk on loans when it is assessed that the debt is material. The Group manages interest rate risk by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed- and floating-rate borrowings, and by using interest rate swaps.

3. FINANCIAL RISKS (CONTINUED)
The interest rates on the Nykredit facilities are currently variable, and the interest rates on the mortgage loans are currently fixed.
For the Group’s floating-rate cash and cash equivalents and debt to banks, an increase in the interest rate level of 1% p.a. relative to the actual interest rates would have had a negative impact on net profit for the year and on equity at 31 December 2025 of DKK 2.8 million (2024: DKK 2.2 million).
Assumptions for analysis of interest rate sensitivity
The stated sensitivities are calculated based on the financial assets and liabilities recognised at 31 December 2025. No adjustments have been made for instalments, raising of loans, etc. during the year.
The computed expected fluctuations are based on the current market situation and expectations for market developments in the interest rate level.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Board of Directors has adopted a dividend policy with a target payout ratio of 40-60% of consolidated net profit for the year, subject to the overall financial position and leverage.
The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting to distribute an ordinary dividend of DKK 4.50 per share. Excluding treasury shares, this corresponds to DKK 46 million.
FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE IN THE BALANCE SHEET
Interest rate swaps are valued using an income approach (discounted cash flow). Expected future cash flows are based on relevant observable swap rates and discounted using a discount rate that reflects the credit risk of the relevant counterparties (level 2).
The classification of financial instruments measured at fair value is disaggregated in accordance with the fair value hierarchy:
- Quoted prices in an active market for identical instruments (level 1)
- Quoted prices in an active market for similar assets or liabilities, or other valuation methods where all significant inputs are based on observable market data (level 2)
- Valuation methods where no significant input is based on observable market data (level 3)

Board of Directors
Remuneration of members of the Board of Directors is determined by resolutions passed at the Annual General Meeting.
Executive Management
The Executive Management, which in 2025 consisted of two individuals, received salaries and pension contributions during the financial year 2025 amounting to DKK 5.5 million (2024: DKK 5.1 million) plus variable remuneration and other benefits amounting to a total of DKK 7.8 million (2024: DKK 8.7 million).
In addition to base salary, the Executive Management has a short-term incentive (STI) programme and a long-term incentive (LTI) programme, which are governed by the Remuneration Policy. The STI programme for 2025 is capped at up to 50% of the annual base salary and is based on annual KPIs. The bonus criteria for the STI programme are revenue, EBITDA and NWC ratio. The STI programme includes a threshold for the EBITDA target that, if not achieved, will result in no STI bonus being paid, regardless of performance on other KPIs.
The LTI programme is granted exclusively to the Executive Management and consists of annual individual performance share unit plans with rolling 3-year performance periods for the periods 2023-2025, 2024-2026 and 2025-2027. When the LTI programme is granted to the participants, a maximum of up to 50% of the annual base salary is converted to a maximum number of performance share units based on the current share price, i.e. an average over a 3-month period. At the end of each performance period, the performance share units may be converted into shares in TCM Group, which will be granted free of charge. The performance measures for the LTI programme are all 3-year accumulative and comprise absolute total shareholder return on the company's share, EBITDA and carbon emissions reductions. The fair value of the LTI programme is estimated on an annual basis.

IMPAIRMENT TESTING OF GOODWILL AND BRAND
At the end of 2025, recognised goodwill amounted to DKK 519.6 million (2024: DKK 412.0 million) and recognised brand value amounted to DKK 219.4 million (2024: DKK 172.2 million).
Goodwill is allocated to a cash-generating unit (CGU) when the unit is acquired. TCM Group currently has three CGUs: TCM Group from the acquisition of TCM Group in 2016, DKK 370 million (2024: DKK 370 million), AUBO from the acquisition of AUBO Production A/S in 2023, DKK 42 million (DKK 42 million), and Celebert from the acquisition of Celebert ApS in 2025, DKK 108 million (2024: 0 million). All CGUs are part of the Group's operating segment "Producing and selling kitchens, bathrooms and storage".
Acquired goodwill in 2025 related to the acquisition of Celebert ApS, DKK 107.7 million. Disposal of goodwill in 2025 arose from the divestment of Svane Alnabru AS, DKK 3.4 million, which was fully impaired in 2023.
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment by calculating the expected recoverable amount of the CGU. The recoverable amount is calculated as the expected cash flow discounted by a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) after tax for the CGU. The recoverable amount, calculated in conjunction with this, is compared to the carrying amount for the CGU. The starting point of the calculation is the estimated future cash flows based on the financial budget for the forthcoming financial year. A forecast for the next four years is prepared based on this budget and expectations regarding market trends and sales mix in the years ahead, reflecting past experience.
When estimating expected future cash flows, key assumptions include projected demand growth, increases in net sales, improvements in gross and operating margins, as well as requirements for working capital and CapEx. Various macroeconomic indicators - such as data on residential property sales in the markets where the Group operates - are considered to analyse the business environment, supported by both external and internal assessments. Based on these analyses, Management has applied a projected low- to mid-single-digit growth rate in net sales over the forecast period, driven by an anticipated positive development in residential property sales and an anticipated recovery in the B2B project market, as described in the Management Review. This assumption is applicable for all performed impairment tests.
Gross and operating margins are expected to improve gradually during the forecast period, reflecting changes in the sales mix and the implementation of various strategic initiatives. These assumptions also account for the Group's long-term strategic efforts, including differentiated branding, central sourcing, manufacturing optimisation and product development. To project cash flows beyond the initial 5-year period, a growth rate of $3\%$ (2024: $2\%$ ) has been applied.
The WACC is calculated based on the average debt-to-equity ratio of large companies in similar industries and the respective costs of debt and equity. The cost of shareholders' equity is determined under the assumption that all investors require at least the same level of return as for risk-free government bonds, supplemented by a risk premium reflecting the estimated risks associated with investments in CGUs. The required return on debt-financed capital is similarly calculated using the return on risk-free government bonds, with an added borrowing margin to account for estimated company-specific risk. A current tax rate of $22\%$ is applied.
In 2025, the Group's weighted cost of capital before tax amounted to $12.1\%$ (2024: $11.4\%$ ) and after tax to $9.97\%$ (2024: $9.25\%$ ), which is applicable for all performed impairment tests.
The acquisition cost of the Svane brand, DKK 172.0 million, with indefinite useful life is subject to an annual impairment test using the relief from royalty method. The recoverable amount is calculated using the expected cash flow based on the budget for the forthcoming financial year, a forecast for the next four years and a royalty on the expected brand revenue, discounted by a WACC after tax. The WACC is based on similar assumptions to the above. The recoverable amount is compared to the carrying amount. The acquisition value of the AUBO brand is amortised over the expected useful life, which has been set at 5 years.
Testing of goodwill and brand did not lead to any impairment in 2025 or 2024. In Management's assessment, likely changes in the basic assumptions will not lead to the carrying amount exceeding the recoverable amount.

21. EARNINGS PER SHARE
EARNINGS PER SHARE BEFORE DILUTION
Earnings per share before dilution are calculated by dividing profit attributable to the shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares during the period.

|---|---|---|
| Profit attributable to shareholders (DKK'000) | 77,770 | 57,675 |

| Earnings per share before dilution (DKK) | 7.51 | 5.52 |
EARNINGS PER SHARE AFTER DILUTION
To calculate earnings per share after dilution, the weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares was adjusted for the dilution effect of all potential ordinary shares. These potential ordinary shares were attributable to the long-term incentive (LTI) programmes awarded to the Executive Management in 2023, 2024 and 2025, cf. note 5.
If all the performance targets set for the first plan, PSU 2023-2025, 2024-2026 and 2025-2027, are achieved in full, the aggregate allocated maximum number of share units and, accordingly, shares to be awarded will be 77,532 shares (gross earnings).

Goodwill is attributable to the high profitability of the acquired business. It will not be deductible for tax purposes.
Revenue attributable to Celebert ApS since the acquisition date amounted to DKK 11.6 million, and net profit amounted to DKK -0.2 million.
If the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2025, consolidated pro-forma revenue and profit for the period ended 31 December 2025 would have been approximately DKK 135 million and DKK 3 million respectively.
These amounts have been calculated using the subsidiary's results and adjusting them for:
- differences in the accounting policies of the Group and the subsidiary
- the additional depreciation and amortisation that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets had applied from 1 January 2025, together with the consequential tax effects.
The fair value of trade receivables amounted to DKK 0.9 million. The gross contractual receivables amounted to DKK 1.0 million, of which DKK 0.1 million is considered uncollectible.

Transaction costs for the acquisition amounted to DKK 2.3 million and are presented under non-recurring items. Of the transaction costs, DKK 2.3 million was recognised in Q4 2025.
2025: ACQUISITION OF FOUR RETAIL STORES
On 1 January 2025, TCM Group completed the acquisition of the Svane Køkkenet retail stores in Aalborg and Hjørring. On 1 September 2025, TCM Group completed the acquisition of the AUBO retail store in Esbjerg and the Nettoline retail store in Kolding. The total consideration for the four retail stores amounted to DKK 2.7 million, which, based on the preliminary purchase price allocation (PPA), is assessed to correspond to the fair value of the acquired assets. Accordingly, no material goodwill has been recognised in connection with the transactions.

NOTES TO THE PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
I. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Determining the carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities requires an estimate of how future events will affect the value of those assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date. Estimates that are significant to the parent's financial reporting are made, for instance, regarding valuation of investments in subsidiaries, which constitute a major share of the parent's total assets.
Investments in subsidiaries are tested for impairment if events or other circumstances indicate that the carrying amount is not recoverable. Measuring investments in subsidiaries requires significant estimates to be made based on various assumptions, including expected future cash flows, discount rate and terminal value growth rates. The sensitivity to changes in the assumptions applied may be collectively and individually significant.

II. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These parent financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and are presented in accordance with IFRS accounting standards as adopted by the EU and additional requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act.
DESCRIPTION OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES APPLIED
The accounting policies applied by the parent differ from the accounting policies described for the consolidated financial statements (see note 1 to the consolidated financial statements) as follows:
DIVIDEND INCOME
Distribution of profits accumulated by subsidiaries is taken to income in the parent's income statement in the financial year in which the dividend is received. If a dividend is distributed that exceeds the subsidiary's comprehensive income for the year, an impairment test is performed.
INVESTMENTS IN SUBSIDIARIES
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost in the parent financial statements. If an indication of impairment exists, an impairment test is performed as described in the accounting policies for the consolidated financial statements. If the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, investments are written down to such lower amount.
12. FINANCIAL RISKS
TRANSLATION EXPOSURE
The company does not have any subsidiaries in foreign countries, hence there is no translation exposure.
CREDIT RISK
The company does not have any external activities. No material credit risk has been identified. The company has receivables from its subsidiaries as a result of intercompany financing. No significant risk has been identified on these receivables.
FINANCIAL EXPOSURE
The Group maintains three credit facilities with Nykredit Bank:
1) DKK 220 million committed facility: This facility has been extended by 1 year and expires in March 2027. It includes one further 1-year extension option available on similar terms.
2) DKK 110 million committed facility: Established in 2023 to support the acquisition of AUBO Production A/S, this facility has been extended by 2 years and expires in 2028.
3) DKK 50 million uncommitted facility: This 1-year facility expires in March 2026.
The facility agreements with Nykredit Bank contain a leverage covenant of 4.0 for the remaining financing period. No covenants were breached during the period.
INTEREST RATE RISK
It is Group policy to fully or partially hedge interest rate risks on loans when it is assessed that the debt is material. The Group manages interest rate risk by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed- and floating-rate borrowings, and using interest rate swaps.
The interest rates on the Nykredit facilities are currently variable.
For the company's floating-rate cash and cash equivalents and debt to banks, an increase in interest rate level of 1% p.a. relative to the actual interest rates would have had a negative impact on the profit for the year and on equity at 31 December 2025 of DKK 2.6 million (2024: DKK 2.5 million).
Assumptions for analysis of interest rate sensitivity
The stated sensitivities are calculated on the basis of the financial assets and liabilities recognised at 31 December 2025. No adjustments have been made for instalments, raising of loans, etc. during the course of the year.
The computed expected fluctuations are based on the current market situation and expectations for market developments in interest rates.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Board of Directors has adopted a dividend policy with a target payout ratio of 40–60% of consolidated net profit for the year.
LIQUIDITY RISKS
Liquidity is controlled centrally with the aim of using available liquidity efficiently, while keeping necessary reserves available. Available liquidity comprised DKK 108 million at 31 December 2025 (2024: DKK 204 million).

Report on the audit of the Financial Statements
Our opinion
In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the Group's and the Parent Company's financial position at 31 December 2025 and of the results of the Group's and the Parent Company's operations and cash flows for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2025 in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and further requirements in the Danish Financial Statements Act.
Our opinion is consistent with our Auditor's Long-form Report to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.
What we have audited
The Consolidated Financial Statements and Parent Company Financial Statements of TCM Group A/S for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2025 comprise income statement and statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement and notes, including material accounting policy information for the Group as well as for the Parent Company. Collectively referred to as the "Financial Statements".
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) as applicable to audits of financial statements of public interest entities, and the additional ethical requirements applicable in Denmark. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 were not provided.
Appointment
We were first appointed auditors of TCM Group A/S on 5 April 2022 for the financial year 2022. We have been reappointed annually by shareholder resolution for a total period of uninterrupted engagement of 4 years including the financial year 2025.

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Financial Statements for 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
| Key audit matter | How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
|---|---|
| Acquisition of the remaining equity interest in Celebert ApS |
The remaining 55% of the shares in Celebert ApS were acquired with accounting effect as of 25 November 2025. When obtaining control of Celebert ApS, TCM Group A/S prepared a purchase price allocation ('PPA') for the acquisition, resulting in assets and liabilities being separately recognised and valued in the opening balance.
In order to determine the fair value of the separately identified assets and liabilities in a business combination, the valuation methodologies require input based on assumptions about the future and applied discounted cash flow forecasts, including WACC and growth in revenue and profit margin. The significant estimates mainly relate to assessing the fair value of acquired Design rights and brand/ Domain value.
We focused on the PPA because of the significance of the amounts and because the PPA requires significant judgements and estimates by Management.
Reference is made to note 26 in the Consolidated Financial Statements. | Our audit procedures included assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies for business combinations applied by Management and assessing compliance with applicable financial reporting standards.
We challenged and assessed the completeness of identified assets and liabilities assumed as part of the PPA.
We involved our internal specialists in assessing the valuation methodologies and WACC used by management and the valuation of the acquired assets and liabilities.
We challenged the significant assumptions used to determine the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities in the business combination, including the fair value of acquired Design rights and brand/ Domain value.
Finally, we assessed the adequacy of disclosures relating to the business combination. |
| Key audit matter | How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
| --- | --- |
| Impairment test of goodwill and brand
At 31 December 2025 the Group’s intangible assets amount to DKK 872,081 thousand primarily related to goodwill of DKK 519,748 thousand and brand of DKK 219,356 thousand.
Impairment tests related to goodwill and brand include significant judgement and estimation by Management, including determination of future growth rates for revenue, profit margins and investments in the budget and forecast periods, as well as royalty rate and discount rate.
We focused on impairment tests related to goodwill and brand as impairment tests are complex and associated with subjectivity in the determination of significant assumptions and data used.
We refer to note 12 in the consolidated financial statements. | We considered the appropriateness of the accounting policies for assessing the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill and brand.
Our audit procedures included assessment of the applied impairment model with focus on significant assumptions in determination of future cash flows, including growth rates for revenue, profit margins and investments in the budget and forecast periods, as well as royalty rate and discount rate used.
We assessed sensitivity analysis performed by Management to evaluate the impact of reasonable changes in key assumptions.
Further, we evaluated the accuracy in Management’s estimates by comparing the budget for 2025 with actual figures.
We also assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures related to impairment tests. |

Statement on the Management Review
Management is responsible for Management’s Review.
Our opinion on the Financial Statements does not cover Management’s Review, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read Management’s Review and, in doing so, consider whether Management’s Review is materially inconsistent with the Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
Moreover, we considered whether Management’s Review includes the disclosures required by the Danish Financial Statements Act.
Based on the work we have performed, in our view, Management’s Review is in accordance with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act. We did not identify any material misstatement in Management’s Review.
Management’s responsibilities for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements and parent company financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and further requirements in the Danish Financial Statements Act, and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Financial Statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Group’s and the Parent Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless Management either intends to liquidate the Group or the Parent Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s and the Parent Company’s internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of Management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s and the Parent Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group or the Parent Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that gives a true and fair view.
- Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the group as a basis for forming an opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence and, where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter.
