CEO letter

"Our organisation's ability to transform quickly makes us confident enough to raise our full year underlying EBITDAaL guidance.

The first half of the transformation year 2025 has now passed and it is a good time to reflect on our progress so far.

I am happy to say that the organisation has responded and adapted exceptionally well to the many significant changes we have introduced since December. This strong response has given us a flying start – especially in areas like cost control, simplification, and allocation of resources to where they matter most to our customers. Together with the reduction of our workforce, the optimisation and automation of processes and the renegotiation of major contracts, this effort explains our impressive underlying EBITDAaL growth of 15% in Q2.

The first phase of our transformation has been delivered in a record time, and I want to extend a big thank you to my colleagues for all the hard work. Our organisation's ability to transform quickly makes us confident enough to raise our full year underlying EBITDAaL guidance to slightly above 10% growth (previously midto high single-digit).

Our Baltic operations have not only applied the same resource discipline but also managed to grow the topline in a very impressive manner, strongly contributing to the Group's end-user service revenue growth of 2%. I am particularly happy to see the turnaround in Estonia materialise so quickly. We are continuing to strengthen the everyday collaboration between the Baltic and Swedish organisations, including building new career paths within the company and between the countries, to ensure we are efficiently sharing operational best practice.

The global turmoil and the uncertainties that comes with it make both consumers and businesses reserved for the moment, and Swedish consumer confidence is on low levels, affecting primarily the demand for new handsets. In combination with the effects of the Boxer terrestrial TV decommissioning at the end of 2024, our end-user service revenue growth in Sweden stayed flat in Q2, despite a solid growth in B2B.

In the meantime, we have been multiplying the initiatives to address future topline opportunities. To enable an even closer dialogue with our customers, we continued investing in the development of our own channels, opening three new stores,

and revamping Tele2.se in Q2. We are also investing in our data analytics and AI expertise, to continuously improve our churn management and cross-selling capacity and empower our customer operations. Our new TV service and portfolio have been very well received by our customers. We continue the roll-out of our 5G network, delivering already a fantastic and award-winning 5G quality in Sweden.

Swedes have likely also noticed that Tele2's most popular co-worker ever – the advertising character and black sheep, Frank – returned with a bang in June. The external and internal excitement over Frank has been fantastic to follow, and I am eager to see how customers react to our new promise: You are number 1. We are Tele2.

Frank is yet another symbol of our ambition to culturally return to Tele2's challenger roots – becoming a faster and more agile company. The strong and unique culture once made Tele2 a global reference for challenger telcos, and me and my colleagues across the company are all eager to reclaim that position. In Q2 we aligned our company values on the new way of working already embraced by the organisation, and our day-to-day commitment has never been clearer: make it simple, be brave, take action and act cost-efficiently in every decision we make.

Last but not least, we are immensely proud of once again being named Sweden's most sustainable company by the influential TIME Magazine. Behind this award are years of true commitment and dedication, and we will continue to find new and even better ways to embed sustainability into the business. Our work to protect and empower children online is engaging our Tele2 and Comviq families. We see hardware circularity as a great potential for our customers, our business and the planet. We will remain a challenger also in sustainability!

First half year

Capex paid excluding spectrum of SEK -1,655 (-2,006) million decreased due to lower investments.

Changes in working capital of SEK 532 (420) million were mainly impacted by reduced equipment receivables and inventory, and increased redundancy provisions partly offset by reduced accounts payable.

Net financial items paid excluding leasing of SEK -292 (-354) million decreased due to timing of coupon payments and lower financing costs for outstanding debt.

Taxes paid of SEK -305 (-494) million decreased mainly due to a tax refund of approximately SEK 280 million in Q1. Last year included settlement of taxes paid of SEK 93 million relating to previous years.

Economic net debt of SEK 24.7 (26.2 by the end of 2024) billion declined driven by the cash generated in the business exceeding the payout of the first tranche of the ordinary dividend.

Economic net debt to underlying EBITDAaL (financial leverage) of 2.2x (2.5x by the end of 2024) was below the lower end of the target range of 2.5-3.0x.

Financial guidance

Financial guidance

Tele2 AB provides the following guidance for continuing operations in constant currencies

2025 guidance (updated)

  • Low single-digit organic growth of end-user service revenue
  • Slightly above 10% organic growth of underlying EBITDAaL [previously mid- to high single-digit]
  • Around 13% capex to sales (excluding spectrum and leases)

Dividend

The Annual General Meeting on 13 May 2025 approved that an ordinary dividend of SEK 6.35 per share shall be paid out in two separate payments of SEK 3.20 and SEK 3.15. The first tranche was paid on 20 May, and the second tranche is expected to be paid on 15 October 2025. Refer to Note 6 for more details.

Guidance (updated)

Tele2 provides financial guidance for the inherent year.

The guidance for 2025 is low single-digit organic growth of enduser service revenue, slightly above 10% organic growth of underlying EBITDAaL [previously mid- to high single-digit], and around 13% capex to sales (excluding spectrum and leases) as our 5G network investments and intense customer-centric transformation continue at a high pace.

Tele2 confirms growth potential across all segments in 2025. The Swedish operations are expected to continue growing, with Sweden Consumer driven by new offers and propositions, offsetting expected headwind from Boxer's discontinuation of terrestrial TV distribution, and with Sweden Business driven by IoT, SMEs and Large Enterprises. The Baltic operations are expected to continue growing driven by our strong market positions in Lithuania and Latvia alongside continued turnaround in Estonia.

Tele2 has initiated a deep transformation to improve profitability by addressing organisational complexity in Sweden and low profitability in Estonia and some parts of Sweden Business. Radical changes to improve efficiency are already in progress based on two key priorities: Simplify our operating model and organisation, and Rejuvenate Tele2's smart, change and cost-savvy culture. In Q4 2024, Tele2 begun extensive group-wide cost-optimisations including an objective to reduce total workforce by around 15% (600-700 full-time equivalents) within the coming 12 months from the release of the fourth quarter report, subject to union negotiations.

Financial policy (unchanged)

  • Tele2 will seek to operate within a range for economic net debt to underlying EBITDAaL of between 2.5-3.0x, and to maintain investment grade credit metrics.
  • Tele2's policy will aim to maintain target leverage by distributing capital to shareholders through:
    • An ordinary dividend of at least 80% of equity free cash flow, and,
    • Extraordinary dividends and/or share repurchases, based on remaining equity free cash flow, proceeds from asset sales and re-leveraging of underlying EBITDAaL growth.

Overview by segment

Sweden

Tele2 Sweden end-user service revenue remained unchanged in the second quarter with 4% growth in Business and 1% decline in Consumer. Growth was negatively affected mainly by increased decline rate in the Boxer TV business following the discontinuation of terrestrial TV distribution in the beginning of Q1.

A key event in our ambition to simplify our processes and remove unnecessary complexity and intermediaries was the launch of the new organisation in mid-April.

We improved our mobile network further by continued 5G rollout. Our 5G population coverage currently stands at 93%, and at 75% with high-performance 5G+.

Underlying EBITDAaL grew by 13% driven by strong results from ongoing efforts to simplifying our organisational structure and applying stricter priorities and cost control.

Capex excluding spectrum and leases amounted to SEK 733 (869) million.

Sweden Consumer

The second quarter delivered solid revenue growth within mobile postpaid and fixed broadband. The market experienced elevated levels of commercial activity on the mobile and broadband side, with continued challenges on the handset market and high competitiveness in open fiber networks. In June, the Tele2 brand was successfully relaunched and the advertising character black sheep Frank was reintroduced along with a challenger mindset. A new flexible TV and streaming portfolio with rich content choices has been launched with good initial results.

Total end-user service revenue declined by 1% as growth in core connectivity was more than offset by the impact of migrating Boxer off the terrestrial network and continued decline in other legacy services.

Mobile postpaid net intake was positive with 10,000 RGUs in the quarter. Mobile end-user service revenue grew by 2% as growth in postpaid RGUs more than offset a decline of 5% in prepaid end-user service revenue.

In Fixed broadband, net intake was negative with 1,000 RGUs while end-user service revenue grew by 3% mainly through ASPU growth.

Digital TV net intake was negative with 7,000 RGUs, and Digital TV end-user service revenue declined by 9%, both entirely due to Boxer.

Sweden Business and Wholesale

Sweden Business delivered a solid end-user service revenue growth of 4% in the quarter. Our larger segments and the IoT business contributed while the Micro segment is still struggling due to continued economic headwinds.

Mobile net intake was positive with 16,000 RGUs in the quarter. Mobile end-user service revenue grew by 4% driven by IoT and RGU growth in our larger segments.

Auditors' review report

To the Board of Directors of Tele2 AB (publ) Corp. id. 556410-8917

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Tele2 AB (publ) as of June 30, 2025 and the six-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

The outstanding long-term incentive programs (LTI 2023, LTI 2024 and LTI 2025) are based on a similar structure, but with updated performance parameters for the LTI 2024 and LTI 2025 programs, where the Tele2 Absolute TSR performance measurement was removed, and replaced with a Sustainability measurement (CDP Score). The performance measurements Cashflow and Relative TSR were kept. Additional information about the LTI programs regarding the purpose of the program, performance parameters, measurement periods, conditions and requirements are stated in Note 30 of the 2024 Annual and Sustainability Report. During the six months in 2025, the total cost including social security costs for all the programs amounted to SEK 69 (72) million.

LTI 2025

At the Annual General Meeting held on 13 May 2025, the shareholders approved a performance based incentive program (LTI 2025) for senior executives and other key employees in the Tele2 Group. In order to participate in the program, participants must own Tele2 Class B shares, which give the participants retention and performance rights. Subject to fulfillment of certain performance based conditions during the periods 1 January 2025 – 31 December 2027 (the "Cash flow and CDP Score Measurement Period") and 1 April 2025 – 31 March 2028 (the "TSR Measurement Period") and the participant maintaining the invested shares and maintaining the employment (with certain exceptions) at the release of the interim report for January – March 2028, each right entitles the participant to receive one Tele2 share free of charge (subject to income taxation).

Total costs before tax for outstanding rights in the incentive program are expensed over the three year vesting period. These costs are expected, at 50% performance fulfillment, to amount to SEK 130 million, of which social security costs amount to SEK 38 million. To ensure the delivery of Class B shares under the program, the Annual General Meeting decided to authorise the Board of Directors to resolve on a directed share issue of a maximum of 1,500,000 Class C shares and subsequently to repurchase the Class C shares. The Board of Directors has not yet used its mandate.

LTI 2022

The exercise of the share rights in LTI 2022 was conditional upon the fulfilment of certain performance-based conditions. The TSR criterias (serie A and B in below table) were measured from 1 April 2022 until 31 March 2025, while operating cashflow (serie C in below table) was measured from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2024. The outcome of these performance conditions was in accordance with below and 1,166,305 share rights have been exchanged for shares in Tele2 during Q2 2025.

Non-IFRS measures

This report contains certain financial measures that are not defined by IFRS but are used by Tele2 to assess the financial performance of the business. These measures are included in the report as they are considered important supplementary measures of operating performance and liquidity. They should not be considered a substitute to Tele2's financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. Tele2's definitions and explanations of these measures are described below, but other companies may calculate non-IFRS measures differently and these measures are therefore not always comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

EBITDA

Tele2 considers EBITDA to be a relevant measure to present profitability aligned with industry standard.

EBITDA: Operating profit/loss before depreciation/amortisation, impairment as well as results from shares in associated companies and joint ventures.

Underlying EBITDA

Tele2 considers underlying EBITDA to be a relevant measure to present in order to illustrate the profitability of the underlying business, and as these are used by management to assess the performance of the business.

Underlying EBITDA: EBITDA excluding items affecting comparability.

Items affecting comparability: Disposals of non-current assets and transactions from strategic decisions, such as capital gains and losses from sales of operations, acquisition costs, integration costs due to acquisition or merger, restructuring programs from reorganisations as well as other items that affect comparability.

Underlying EBITDAaL (uEBITDAaL) and underlying EBITDAaL margin

Tele2 considers underlying EBITDAaL and the related margin to be relevant measures of the business performance since underlying EBITDAaL includes the cost of leased assets (depreciation and interest), which is not included in underlying EBITDA according to IFRS 16.

Underlying EBITDAaL: Underlying EBITDA as well as lease depreciation and lease interest costs according to IFRS 16.

Underlying EBITDAaL margin: Underlying EBITDAaL in relation to revenue excluding items affecting comparability.

Non-IFRS measures – Capex paid and capex

Tele2 considers capex paid relevant to present as it provides an indication of how much the company invests organically in intangible and tangible assets to maintain and expand its business. Tele2 believes that it is relevant to present capex to provide a view on how much Tele2 invests organically in intangible and tangible assets as well as in right-of-use assets (lease) to maintain and grow its business that is not dependent on the timing of cash payments.

Capex paid: Cash paid for the additions to intangible and tangible assets net of cash proceeds from sales of intangible and tangible assets.

Capex: Additions to intangible assets, tangible assets and right-of-use assets (lease) that are capitalised on the balance sheet.

Non-IFRS measures – Equity free cash flow (EFCF)

Tele2 considers equity free cash flow to be relevant to present as it provides a view of funds generated from operating activities that also includes investments in intangible and tangible assets. Management believes that equity free cash flow is meaningful to investors because it is the measure of the Group's funds available for acquisition related payments, dividends to shareholders, share repurchases and debt repayment.

Equity free cash flow: Cash flow from operating activities less capex paid and amortisation of lease liabilities.

Equity free cash flow per share: Equity free cash flow for the period in relation to the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the financial year.

Non-IFRS measures – Net debt and economic net debt

Tele2 believes that net debt is relevant to present as it is useful to illustrate the indebtedness, financial flexibility, and capital structure. Furthermore, economic net debt is considered relevant as it excludes lease liabilities, and thereby consistently can be put in relation to underlying EBITDAaL when measuring financial leverage.

Net debt: Interest-bearing non-current and current liabilities excluding provisions, less cash and cash equivalents, current investments, restricted cash and derivative assets.

Economic net debt: Net debt excluding lease liabilities.

Organic

Tele2 believes that organic growth rates are relevant to present as they exclude effects from currency movements but include effects from divestments and acquisitions as if these occurred on the first day of each reporting period and are therefore providing an indication of the underlying performance.

Organic growth rates: Calculated at constant currency, meaning that comparative figures have been recalculated using the currency rates for the current period, but including effects from divestments and acquisitions as if these occurred on the first day of each reporting period.

Reconciliation of figures is presented in an Excel document (Q2-2025-financial-and-operational-data) on Tele2's website www.tele2.com.

Other financial metrics

Certain other financial metrics that are presented in this report are defined below. It is the view of Tele2 that these metrics provide valuable additional information to investors and other readers of this report.

ASPU

Average monthly spending per user for the referenced period. ASPU is calculated by dividing the monthly end-user service revenue by the average number of RGUs for the same period. The average number of RGUs is calculated as the number of RGUs on the first day in the period plus the number of RGUs on the last day of the respective period, divided by two.

Average interest rate

Annualised interest expense on loans (excluding penalty interest etc.) in relation to average interest-bearing liabilities excluding provisions, lease liabilities, debt related to equipment financing, balanced bank fees as well as adjusted for borrowings and amortisations during the period.

Capex to sales

Capex excluding spectrum and leases divided by revenue.

Earnings per share (EPS)

Profit/loss for the period attributable to the parent company shareholders in relation to the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the fiscal year.

Economic net debt / Underlying EBITDAaL (financial leverage)

Economic net debt divided by underlying EBITDAaL (rolling 12 months) for all operations owned and controlled by Tele2 at the end of each reporting period.

End-user service revenue (EUSR)

Revenue from end-users excluding equipment revenue. End-user service revenue is presented to provide a view of revenue attached to the customers usage of services provided by the company.

Operating profit/loss (EBIT)

Revenue less operating expenses.

RGU

Revenue generating units, which refer to each service subscribed to by a unique customer. A unique customer who has several services is counted as several RGUs but one unique customer.
