FOREWORD BY THE EXECUTIVE BOARD

As expected, Viscom was largely able to hold its own in a challenging economic environment. However, the subdued demand in the markets continues to have a noticeable impact on Viscom. The stalled transformation in the European automotive industry and overcapacities in electronics production continued to influence our business development. As expected, the regular order intake from major customers in the automotive electronics sector that had been customary in previous years failed to materialise. Nevertheless, Viscom succeeded in achieving its planned order intake with new customers and customers from the industrial electronics, telecommunications and security electronics sectors. In the first nine months of the 2025 financial year, we received orders worth € 63.2 million. Order intake was thus around 9 % higher than the comparable figure for the previous year (previous year: € 58.1 million). Overall, we generated sales revenues of € 56.8 million in the first nine months of 2025, which was around 10 % below the comparable figure for the previous year (previous year: € 63.2 million). Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) were significantly impacted by higher material costs and special effects in personnel expenses. Expenses for exchange rate differences of € 0.6 million (previous year: € 0.0 million) continued to weigh on earnings. We closed the first three quarters of 2025 with a negative EBIT of € -1.8 million (previous year: € -5.9 million). This corresponded to an EBIT-Margin of -3.1 % (previous year: -9.4 %). The net result for the period amounted to € -2.3 million (previous year: € -5.0 million).

The cost-cutting and restructuring measures implemented last year have proven to be correct and appropriate. Global uncertainties and trade barriers, such as US tariff policy, are slowing down the global economy and world trade. This has also led to project completion delays and delivery date postponements for our customers. General market trends such as electrification, digitalisation, mobility and safety continue to be omnipresent and forward-looking. We have optimally aligned our portfolio and technologies to serve these trends. We will face up to global competition with our innovative inspection systems. The current conditions present us with major challenges, but our flexibility, our strong customer focus and our technological edge over our predominantly Asian competitors in many areas give us clear advantages. The innovative strength and motivation of our teams also provide the best conditions for sustainable market success. Our core business is based on high-tech innovations with a focus on AI-supported software solutions. The redesign of our product portfolio as part of the new modular system enables us to respond quickly and flexibly to new applications and offer tailor-made solutions. Our inspection systems are particularly impressive in international competitions thanks to their modular machine design, fast image capture and highly functional software – features that are unique on the market and inspire customers worldwide with the quality of our inspection systems. Our focus is on the following target segments: electronic assemblies (SMT), industrial applications and the inspection of devices, microelectronics and battery cells. Our strategic orientation is based on the pillars of safety and reliability of critical components, the development of new markets and our positioning as a technology leader. The aim is to secure longterm competitive advantages and promote sustainable growth.

We anticipate a strong final quarter for 2025, as is customary for Viscom, and are maintaining our annual forecast for the current financial year. We continue to expect order intake and target revenue of € 80 to € 90 million, with an EBIT-Margin of between 2 and 5 %. This corresponds to EBIT of € 1.6 to € 4.5 million. Despite the current challenges, we believe we are well positioned to generate growth again from 2026 onwards.

We would like to thank you for your trust in Viscom SE.

The Executive Board

Carsten Salewski Dr. Martin Heuser Dirk Schwingel

Share price performance

in the reporting period 1 January to 30 September 2025

The stock markets started 2025 on a strong note. The DAX achieved its fourth-best start to the year in the past 25 years, while the TecDAX reached new record highs. Despite initial concerns about possible trade conflicts as a result of planned US tariffs, hopes for a de-escalation of the Ukraine conflict and possible interest rate cuts by the ECB provided strong impetus. Positive company reports, the outcome of the federal elections and declining bond yields further reinforced the upward momentum. As a result, the DAX exceeded the 23,000-point mark for the first time and reached a new all-time high of 23,476, supported by high demand for defence and infrastructure stocks and fiscal measures taken by the former German government. However, growing uncertainties about US trade policy subsequently dominated market activity. After a series of the heaviest daily losses in three years, there was a significant correction at the end of March. At the beginning of April, the "tariff offensive" announced by US President Donald Trump caused massive price turbulence and the heaviest losses since 2020.

After a dynamic start to the year, the financial markets came under pressure again in spring 2025. Renewed fears of recession and dwindling confidence in the stability of the US government led to a significant shift towards safe asset classes such as gold and government bonds. However, a subsequent reversal in US tariff policy brought noticeable relief. The stock markets recovered quickly and were able to completely offset their losses by the end of April. Nevertheless, US trade policy remained a dominant influencing factor. Globally, the ongoing tariff conflicts led to lower growth forecasts by the IMF and the World Bank. Nevertheless, an impressive upward trend began in May: the DAX exceeded the 24,000-point mark for the first time. The rally was supported by strong corporate reports, capital inflows from the US and hopes for expansive fiscal

{6}------------------------------------------------

packages from the new German government. The temporary easing of the tariff dispute between the US and China also contributed to the positive market sentiment. Although new US tariff threats against the EU caused brief uncertainty, Trump's subsequent postponement of the measures immediately led to new record highs on the DAX. At the end of the first half of the year, increasing geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East, led to a consolidation. The markets gave up some of their gains. While German exports benefited from tariff-related pull-forward effects, domestic demand remained subdued.

Despite ongoing geopolitical and economic uncertainties, stock markets continued their positive performance in July. The positive market sentiment was initially driven by hopes of progress in international trade talks and the adoption of a comprehensive investment package by the German government. The prospect of possible interest rate cuts also supported investors' risk appetite. However, the initial optimism subsequently gave way to a wait-and-see attitude. Despite the conclusion of the long-awaited trade agreement between the US and the EU, there was no new momentum. The reporting season only caused movement at the individual stock level. As expected, the central banks in the US and the eurozone left their key interest rates unchanged. However, their cautious statements dampened hopes of interest rate cuts in the near future and led to a noticeable deterioration in market sentiment at the end of the month. At the beginning of August, ongoing uncertainties surrounding US tariff policy caused significant price declines on the stock markets. Many investors took the opportunity to take profits. However, a noticeable recovery set in as the month progressed, supported by solid corporate reports, emerging expectations of interest rate cuts in the US and hopes for progress in the peace negotiations in Ukraine. September was another month full of twists and turns on the global financial markets; between monetary policy hopes, economic uncertainties and geopolitical tensions, the DAX was volatile but remained directionless overall. At the beginning of the month, the German benchmark index fluctuated below

{7}------------------------------------------------

the 24,000-point mark within a range of around 700 points, weighed down primarily by economic concerns and profittaking in the technology sector. A sustained recovery failed to materialise by the end of the third quarter, with the result that the DAX ended September with a moderate loss of 0.76 %.

Viscom SE shares started the current financial year with an opening price of € 3.15 on 2 January 2025 and reached their low for the year of € 2.84 per share on 7 April 2025. Viscom shares reached their high for the year of € 5.40 on 18 June 2025 and averaged € 3.88 in the first nine months of 2025. Viscom shares closed at € 4.46 per share at the end of the quarter.

INTERIM GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORT BASIC INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

Business model of the Group

Structure of the company and its investees

Viscom SE, Hanover, (hereinafter referred to as Viscom SE or the Company) is the leading company within the Viscom Group (hereinafter referred to as Viscom).

Viscom SE is entered in Commercial Register B of the Hanover Local Court under HRB 59616.

With its Group companies in Asia, America, Europe and Africa, in which Viscom SE holds 100 % of the shares either directly or indirectly, the Group has an efficient and market-oriented organisational structure. On 23 April 2025, Viscom SE acquired the shares of a minority shareholder (5 %) in Exacom GmbH and now directly holds 90 % of the shares in the company.

All companies are focussed on their customer groups and their requirements. This enables them to act and react quickly and flexibly. They also benefit from the advantages of the Group network, which makes it possible to share and utilise knowledge and experience. Production takes place exclusively at the home base in Hanover.

Viscom was transformed from Viscom GmbH into Viscom AG in 2001 and into Viscom SE in 2024. The company's capital is divided into 9,020,000 shares. 60.36 % of the shares are attributable to the company founders Dr. Martin Heuser and Volker Pape via intermediary companies and foundations or are held directly by them.

The Extraordinary General Meeting held on 20 August 2013 agreed to convert some of the committed capital reserves (€ 22,550 thousand) into free capital reserves (section 272(2) no. 4 of the Handelsgesetzbuch (HGB – German Commercial Code)) by way of an increase in the company's share capital from corporate funds without issuing new shares and a subsequent reduction in capital. This was in accordance with the proposals of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board published in the German Federal Gazette (Bundesanzeiger) on 10 July 2013.

Under item 7 of the agenda, the Annual General Meeting of the company on 8 June 2021 resolved to create new authorised capital (Authorised Capital 2021) with the option to disapply shareholders' pre-emption rights in certain cases. Authorised Capital 2021 was entered in the competent commercial register on 15 June 2021. It is limited to the end of 7 June 2026. Regarding this authorisation, the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board of Viscom AG, Hanover, announce that the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board of Viscom AG adopted the following unanimous resolution on 8 December 2023:

"For the duration of the authorisation, i.e. until the end of 7 June 2026, the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board of Viscom AG issue the following irrevocable pledge that will be permanently accessible in the Investor Relations section of the company's website:

The total number of shares issued on the basis of the authorisations to disapply pre-emption rights in accordance with item 7 of the agenda of the Annual General Meeting of 8 June 2021 with preemption rights disapplied for capital increases in return for cash or non-cash contributions must not exceed 5 % of the share capital, either at the time that the authorisation becomes effective or when it is exercised.

This pledge also applies in the event that an extraordinary general meeting of the company resolves to transform Viscom AG into a European company (societas europaea (SE)) whose articles of association permit its executive board, with the approval of the supervisory board, to disapply shareholders' pre-emption rights in capital increases in return for cash or non-cash contributions in conjunction with authorised capital on one or more occasions."

The Extraordinary General Meeting on 24 November 2023 approved the transformation of Viscom AG into Viscom SE. The conversion of Viscom AG into an SE was completed on 5 June 2024, retaining the original registration number HRB 59616 at Hanover Local Court.

{9}------------------------------------------------

The Annual General Meeting of Viscom SE resolved on 6 June 2025 to authorise the company in accordance with section 71 (1) no. 8 AktG to acquire treasury shares up to a total of 10 % of the share capital existing at the time of the resolution or – if this value is lower – at the time the authorisation is exercised until 5 June 2030. Together with other treasury shares held by the company or attributable to it in accordance with Sections 71a et seq. of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), the treasury shares acquired on the basis of this authorisation may not exceed 10 % of the company's share capital at any time. Acquisition for the purpose of trading in treasury shares is excluded. In the cases specified in the authorisation, treasury shares may also be used to the exclusion of shareholders' subscription and tender rights. Acquired treasury shares can also be cancelled in whole or in part without a further resolution by the Annual General Meeting.

As at 30 September 2025, Viscom SE had appropriated capital reserves in accordance with section 272 (2) no. 1 HGB in the amount of € 14,894,510.08.

On 29 July 2008, the Executive Board, with the approval of the Annual General Meeting on 12 June 2008 and following consultation with the Supervisory Board, resolved to acquire up to 902,000 of the company's shares by 31 March 2009. The Company had bought back 134,940 shares as at 31 March 2009. Viscom SE held around 1.50 % of its shares as treasury shares as at 30 September 2025.

The Executive Board of Viscom SE has three members as at 30 September 2025:

Carsten Salewski: Sales / Operations

Dr. Martin Heuser: Development / Production

Dirk Schwingel: Finance

The Executive Board is monitored by the three members of the Supervisory Board:

Prof. Dr. Michèle Morner (Chairwoman)

Volker Pape (Deputy Chairman)

Prof. Dr. Ludger Overmeyer

Segments and key locations

Viscom develops, manufactures and sells high-quality inspection systems for industrial production. The business activities differ according to the project-specific customisation of standard components and standard systems on the one hand, and the technology used by the inspection systems to detect potential production faults on the other.

Geographically, the business is segmented into the European sales market, which is served by the company's headquarters in Hanover as well as Exacom GmbH and a sales subsidiary near Paris (France), the American sales market with a sales subsidiary near Atlanta (USA) and a service company in Mexico, and the Asian sales market with a sales subsidiary in Singapore (Singapore), which in turn has sales subsidiaries in Shanghai (China), Huizhou (China) and Bangalore (India). The sales subsidiary in Tunis (Tunisia), which in turn is a subsidiary of the sales subsidiary in France, is responsible for developing and cultivating the North African sales market and has been allocated to the Europe geographical segment.

Viscom SE also maintains a company for the production of metal frames, which works exclusively for Viscom SE.

There were no changes to the Group's activities and structure in the reporting period.

Business processes

The inspection systems are developed and produced in Hanover, the headquarters of Viscom SE. All central functions such as commercial administration, development, production, service and sales management are located there.

Product development is carried out both as basic development for future generations of inspection systems and as projectspecific development, for example to adapt basic types to customer-specific requirements.

A large part of production is order related. The company utilises its own in-house pre-production of various assemblies. This is intended to ensure greater production reliability.

{10}------------------------------------------------

Sales activities are carried out by sales employees from Viscom SE's Customer Care units, the Group companies and representatives who act as industry agents for mechanical engineering companies on the market.

High availability is one of the most important aspects when using inspection systems. It requires regular maintenance, servicing and calibration. Viscom's Central Service and Customer Care Units are available to its customers for these tasks. Thanks to the global presence of its service staff, Viscom guarantees fast response times.

Key business processes are controlled and supported by the proALPHA business software. The order processing module in this system is used at all Viscom locations worldwide.

Legal and economic factors

There were no fundamental changes to the legal framework that had a noticeable impact on Viscom's business in the first nine months of 2025.

The weak performance of the global economy due to geopolitical conflicts and upheavals, stagnating domestic and foreign demand, and pressure to innovate and compete are weighing on the economic outlook in Germany and thus also on the Viscom Group's business performance. Added to this are the burdens of high energy and raw material prices and increased capital costs. Investment in Germany is suffering under these macroeconomic conditions. Excessive bureaucracy, accompanied by increasing regulations, corporate taxes and public infrastructure also represent acute obstacles to investment in Germany.

For more detailed information on the development of the economy as a whole, please refer to the following economic report.

Management system

The most important performance indicators by which the Viscom Group is primarily managed are incoming orders, revenue, EBIT (defined as the result from operating activities or the segment result) and the EBIT-Margin (EBIT / revenue).

The management of the Group is based on a reporting system that is made available to the management and divisional management in the form of monthly updated reports. These monthly reports contain the consolidated statement of comprehensive income with the individual statements of the Group companies.

The cost structure and key figures of Viscom SE and the other Group companies are also presented in detail. This presentation includes revenue for the regions in which the systems were installed, incoming orders, order backlog, the number of employees, cash and cash equivalents, utilisation of unused overdraft facilities, total receivables and receivables from subsidiaries, orders placed for the purchase of goods, inventories of goods and partially completed and completed systems.

These reports also provide an overview of staff turnover, sickness rates, per capita sales and key figures for project management, product development, production and logistics. The statements in the monthly reports are analysed in regular meetings between the Management Board, all divisional managers and the managing directors of the individual branches. Any resulting need for action leads to decisions that are generally implemented at short notice.

Viscom SE was listed in the Prime Standard segment of the regulated market on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange as at 30 September 2025. The company publishes consolidated quarterly financial reports and consolidated half-year financial reports in accordance with IFRS accounting standards.

Research and development

In the third quarter of 2025, development activities continued to focus on the further development of existing system solutions and the implementation of new market requirements in the field of optical inspection methods and X-ray inspection methods.

{11}------------------------------------------------

The corresponding focus of activities in the area of research and development is described in detail on pages 32 – 34 of Viscom SE's 2024 annual report and has not changed significantly during the third quarter of the current year. Important results and relevant successes of the consistent continuation of these activities are also presented in the half-year financial report as at 30 June 2025 on pages 12 – 13.

Significant progress was made in development work on the use of AI in the creation of test programmes. AI is used to identify the correct test patterns on an object and then to set the parameters during testing so that the test delivers optimal classification results.

Research and development expenditure, excluding design changes for customer-specific adaptations, was below the previous year's figure. In the first nine months of 2025, development costs of € 2,049 thousand (previous year: € 2,497 thousand) were capitalised. The capitalised development costs were amortised as planned in the amount of € 1,753 thousand (previous year: € 1,833 thousand).

ECONOMIC REPORT

Macroeconomic and sector development

Macroeconomic development

The global economy is currently experiencing a period of moderate growth, characterised by significantly increased economic uncertainty. Geo-economic conflicts and a general lack of cooperation within the international community continue to hamper global growth.

The German economy remains under considerable pressure. Many companies are suffering from a combination of high costs, weak demand and structural deficits. Domestic and foreign demand remains subdued. Rising financing costs and persistently high inflation are dampening investment and consumption. High energy, wage and raw material prices are squeezing margins and weighing on international competitiveness. Energy-intensive industries in particular are coming under increasing pressure. Excessive bureaucracy, a shortage of skilled workers and increasingly complex regulations are slowing down growth and innovation. The lag in digital and technological modernisation is jeopardising productivity in the long term. At the same time, the transformation to a climate-neutral economy requires high levels of investment and adaptation. Uncertain framework conditions are leading to a decline in willingness to invest. At the same time, payment defaults and insolvencies are increasing noticeably, causing banks and investors to become more cautious. Tariff conflicts, geopolitical tensions and unclear economic policy – particularly in the USA and Europe – are increasing the planning uncertainty for German companies.

Sector development

Viscom's revenue is focused on the production of systems for the inspection of electronic assemblies. Viscom is therefore primarily represented in the electronics industry in the automotive supplier sector, one of the largest industrial sectors worldwide. Technical innovations in the electronics industry have been a key driver of innovation for Viscom in recent years. The increasingly complex and smaller electronic assemblies can only be reliably inspected using automated inspection systems. Hidden solder joints, miniaturised components or densely populated printed circuit boards must be inspected quickly and reliably. High resolution, reliable fault detection and high throughput are extremely important for this. Viscom inspection systems are used in particular where the requirements for inspection accuracy and inspection speed are especially high. The main customers for Viscom products are electronics manufacturers in the automotive industry, manufacturers of consumer end devices and industrial electronics as well as service providers (EMS) who produce electronic assemblies for various industries on an order-related basis. Viscom systems are also used to subject finished devices to an automated optical or X-ray final inspection. These include complete assemblies from the electromobility sector, high-quality mobile consumer devices and, in recent years, significantly more lithium-ion batteries in various designs.

In recent years, Viscom has intensified its efforts to gain a foothold in the non-automotive sector, such as battery production, telecommunications, industrial electronics and semiconductor manufacturing. The focus is on the growth sectors of electromobility and computers, communication, consumer (3C).

The German economy continues to operate in an environment of weak demand, geopolitical risks and structural headwinds. Mechanical and plant engineering and the automotive sector, as key industries and drivers of German exports, are particularly hard hit. The global economic slowdown and ongoing uncertainties in international trade are leading to a decline in order intake. Important sales markets such as China and the USA are showing a weaker willingness to invest, while protectionist tendencies and new customs risks are further reducing competitiveness. Rising energy and labour costs as well as high regulatory requirements are putting pressure on margins. Many medium-sized mechanical engineering

{13}------------------------------------------------

companies are struggling with price competition, which international competitors – especially those from Asia – find easier to withstand due to more favourable production conditions. Production, sales and service must also be increasingly digitised. At the same time, the transformation to climate-neutral production processes requires high investments in new technologies – from automation and AI to hydrogen and energy solutions. High interest rates and uncertain political conditions are slowing down investment, particularly in research and development. More restrictive lending by banks is also having a noticeable impact on medium-sized companies. Tariff conflicts, volatile energy prices and ongoing crises such as those in Ukraine and the Middle East are weighing on planning security and investment decisions. In the long term, however, opportunities exist due to increasing automation, global demand for green technologies and the high degree of innovation of many German mechanical engineering companies. Companies with a strong international presence, solid balance sheets and digital solutions such as Viscom SE are likely to emerge from this phase stronger than before.

Target sectors, target markets and target customers

The inspection systems produced by Viscom are primarily used in the electronics industry. Manufacturers of electronic components are the main customer segment, accounting for 57 % of sales (previous year: 59 %). Some of these companies manufacture directly for end customers. However, the majority of Viscom's customers are suppliers to other companies, e.g. manufacturers of electronic assemblies. These supplier parts are incorporated into end products such as power modules for railway drives or server boards for computers in data centres. The remaining 43 % (previous year: 41 %) is distributed among manufacturers in other industries, such as battery production and entertainment, industrial and household electronics.

Viscom is represented in the production plants with the highest quality requirements with optical, X-ray and combined inspection systems. Accordingly, its main customers are companies that prioritise product safety. In addition to automotive electronics, the 3Cs – Computer, Communication and Consumer – are the most important areas in terms of volume.

With the increasing security requirements for critical infrastructure and supply chains as well as the increase in production in aerospace and defence, combined with the high reliability requirements of these systems, these areas represent new markets with growing demand. Assemblies and components or devices from these areas, such as communication electronics, satellite hardware and mobile devices, are generally inspected by systems such as those offered by Viscom.

Due to increasing technological demands, including in the consumer goods industry, the pressure on quality is much higher than in previous years. However, the focus here is more on the quality of the process, as a stable process increases delivery quality, but above all also means fewer rejects and therefore greater efficiency in production.

Technological developments and the associated technical and economic progress as well as Viscom's international sales and service presence have led to the maintenance of its market position and long-term customer loyalty. With this constant further development of products, the improvement of business processes and the adaptation of the sales organisation to the changed framework conditions, Viscom aims to continue to meet the requirements of the future.

Close and long-term customer contacts form the basis for comprehensive and customised support. The results of this collaboration are channelled into the development of new system solutions and the further development of existing ones. In this way, Viscom develops new solutions with a high level of innovation and customer-orientation in order to open up future markets.

{14}------------------------------------------------

In the 2024 financial year, the company's operating units were restructured and have been operating in this new form since the beginning of 2025. The former customer care teams and central sales department were reorganized into customer care units. The whole process was consistently geared towards the following target segments: electronic assemblies (SMT), industrial applications and devices (or device inspection), microelectronics and battery cell inspection. Viscom's clear strategic focus is on the safety and reliability of critical components, new markets and technological leadership in order to secure long-term competitive advantages. Viscom also

scores highly in international competitions, particularly thanks to its modular machine design (modular system), fast image acquisition and highly functional software.

Customer structure

Viscom generated around 49 % of its revenue in the first nine months of 2025 with its eleven largest customers (previous year: around 48 % with seven customers). A further 30 % of revenue was generated with 28 customers (previous year: 25 customers). The remaining revenue was generated with 399 different customers (previous year: 402 customers).

SUMMARY ANALYSIS OF THE COMPANY'S NET ASSETS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND COURSE OF BUSINESS

Results of operations

Incoming orders / order backlog

In the first nine months of 2025, orders with a total volume of € 63,205 thousand (previous year: € 58,076 thousand) were recorded. This represented an increase of 8.8 % compared to the corresponding period of the previous year.

The order backlog as at 30 September 2025 amounted to €26,374 thousand, up 10.6 % on the previous year (previous year: € 23,843 thousand) and up 32.4 % on the figure at the end of 2024 (31 December 2024: € 19,919 thousand).

Revenue development

In the third quarter of 2025, revenue of € 17,461 thousand (previous year: € 21,881 thousand) was generated. This was 11.8 % below the figure for the first quarter of 2025 (€ 19,789 thousand) and 10.5 % below the figure for the second quarter of 2025 (€19,501 thousand). Viscom generated total sales revenues of € 56,751 thousand in the first three quarters of 2025, which was 10.2 % below the previous year's figure (previous year: € 63,185 thousand).

Operating profit (EBIT) / EBIT-Margin

Viscom reported a slightly positive EBIT for the first half of the year. EBIT in the third quarter was negative at € -1,821 thousand and was influenced by lower revenue recognition and a sharp increase in the cost of materials. This resulted in a correspondingly significant positive change in inventories (€ 1,606 thousand). The background to this change is, on the one hand, the processing of the order backlog and, on the other hand, the expected strong revenue in the final quarter of 2025.

EBIT in the first three quarters of 2025 amounted to € -1,769 thousand (previous year: € -5,911 thousand). This corresponded to an EBIT-Margin of -3.1 % (previous year: -9.4 %). Total output (defined as sales revenue plus changes in inventories of finished and unfinished products and other capitalised own work) increased by € 1,375 thousand to € 58,837 thousand (previous year: € 57,462 thousand). The cost of materials increased by € 2,563 thousand to € 21,369 thousand (previous year: € 18,806 thousand) due to a strong positive change in inventories in the third quarter. Personnel expenses fell significantly to € 26,321 thousand (previous year: € 30,168 thousand) due to a lower number of employees. The decline in other operating expenses (€ 9,060 thousand; previous year: € 10,198 thousand) also had a positive impact on earnings. These were negatively impacted by expenses for exchange rate differences amounting to € 627 thousand (previous year: € 38 thousand).

Financial result

Financial income amounted to € 2 thousand (previous year: € 3 thousand). Financial expenses of € 1,562 thousand (previous year: € 1,452 thousand) resulted from interest on lease and bank liabilities. The financial result was negative at € 1,560 thousand and was below the previous year's figure (previous year: € -1,449 thousand).

Net profit for the period

The net result for the period totalled to €2,309 thousand (previous year: €4,953 thousand). The effects described in the result from operating activities and the financial result also influenced the net result for the period. Income tax income was also reflected in this item.

The pre-tax return on sales totalled -5.9 % (previous year: -11.6 %).

Earnings per share

Earnings per share as at 30 September 2025 amounted to € -0.25 (diluted and undiluted) – based on 8,885,060 shares. In the previous year, earnings per share were € -0.57.

Exchange rate effects

Viscom is exposed to exchange rate risks due to its international business. Based on the existing business volumes and the exchange rate development of the euro against the US dollar,

{16}------------------------------------------------

the existing exchange rate risk was assessed as acceptable even without hedging. Around 19 % of total revenue was directly affected by exchange rates (previous year: around 25 %). In the first nine months of 2025, currency translation differences had a net negative impact on earnings of € 627 thousand (previous year: negative impact of € 38 thousand).

Employees

Viscom employed 460 people worldwide as at 30 September 2025, excluding trainees. This means that the number of employees is 80 lower than the corresponding figure for the previous year (previous year: 540 employees). The planned reduction in headcount was focussed on Europe across all functional areas and in Asia, particularly in Service.

At the end of the third quarter of 2025, 26 employees were in training (previous year: 27).

Viscom SE had 298 employees at its Hanover site at the end of the first half of 2025 (previous year: 370 employees).

Regional developments

Europe

In the European region, electronics suppliers, primarily in the automotive sector, continued to show a marked reluctance to invest. Viscom SE's customers are still postponing investment decisions in an unpredictable manner. However, existing capacities are increasingly being optimised by customers, which in turn opens up opportunities for Viscom in the service business. The European strategy of becoming more independent also offers new opportunities for the company. Viscom expects its customers to increase production in Europe again, and the aerospace and defence sector also offers further prospects for Viscom.

With around 55 % of sales, Europe remained the strongest region for the Viscom Group. In the first three quarters of 2025, the Europe region generated revenues of € 31,094 thousand, down 21.8 % on the previous year (previous year: € 39,757 thousand). Revenues in the domestic market of Germany amounted to € 17,969 thousand (previous year: € 20,266 thousand).

The segment result for the Europe region amounted to € -2,885 thousand (previous year: € -5,952 thousand). The EBIT-Margin for the Europe region was -9.3 % (previous year: -15.0 %).

{17}------------------------------------------------

Americas

Customers in the Americas region continued to show strong interest in Viscom inspection solutions in the third quarter of 2025, but sales momentum was lower than expected. Although demand was brisk and activities promising across all industries, the ongoing uncertainty surrounding US tariffs slowed down short-term order intake. Towards the end of the third quarter, a moderate but noticeable increase in activity related to yearend projects was observed. This early increase indicates that customers are beginning to push ahead with their planned investments. Viscom expects this momentum to continue to strengthen until the end of the year.

Segment revenue for the Americas region in the first three quarters of 2025 fell by 23.7 % year-on-year from € 9,444 thousand to € 7,203 thousand. The segment result amounted to € -108 thousand (previous year: € 201 thousand), corresponding to an EBIT-Margin of -1.5 % (previous year: 2.1 %).

Asia

Viscom's business development in the Asia region was driven by growth in China and a significant market upturn in India. As expected, order intake increased in India following a successful trade fair presence. However, growth continues to be driven by the Chinese market. An increase in investment due to positive signals in India is expected for the final quarter of 2025. The current order backlog gives reason to hope for a good year-end business for the Asia region. However, the difficult-to-assess international mood and unpredictable influences from customs duties and tariffs are disruptive factors that currently make it difficult to forecast beyond the fourth quarter of 2025.

Revenue in the Asia region for the first three quarters of 2025 amounted to € 18,454 thousand, representing a significant increase over the previous year (previous year: € 13,984 thousand). Segment earnings rose to € 520 thousand (previous year: € -609 thousand). This corresponded to an EBIT-Margin of 2.8 % (previous year: -4.4 %).

Financial position

Capital structure / liquidity

During the reporting period, Viscom was able to secure the necessary liquidity from its own funds and from the overdraft facilities made available to it. As of 30 September 2025, overdraft facilities amounting to € 21,642 thousand (31 December 2024: € 15,410 thousand) were utilised by drawing on available credit lines. Viscom thus uses the overdraft facilities to refinance liabilities arising from its operating business. Taking into account the available cash and cash equivalents of € 4,424 thousand (31 December 2024: € 5,530 thousand), this resulted in a negative bank balance of € 17,218 thousand as of the reporting date (31 December 2024: negative balance of € 9,880 thousand). In addition, as at 30 September 2025, there were short-term bank loans amounting to € 378 thousand (31 December 2024: € 378 thousand) and long-term bank loans amounting to € 242 thousand (31 December 2024: € 526 thousand). The branches did not require any loans from third parties.

Investments

Total investments in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment amounted to € 2,368 thousand in the first nine months of 2025 (previous year: € 4,018 thousand). The majority of the investments made, € 2,049 thousand, related to capitalised development costs (previous year: € 2,497 thousand), € 53 thousand on operating and office equipment (previous year: € 99 thousand), € 23 thousand on advance payments for intangible assets (previous year: € 0 thousand) and € 22 thousand on tenant improvements (previous year: € 258 thousand). € 13 thousand was allocated to technical equipment and machinery, vehicles and software (previous year: € 8 thousand). In addition, investments of € 168 thousand were allocated to advance payments and assets under construction in the previous year. This item also included additions of rights of use for assets amounting to € 208 thousand (previous year: € 988 thousand).

{18}------------------------------------------------

Cash and cash equivalents / cash flow

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to € 4,424 thousand (previous year: € 3,977 thousand), which was € 1,106 thousand below the figure at the end of 2024 (31 December 2024: € 5,530 thousand).

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to € 2,239 thousand (previous year: € 17,447 thousand). This was mainly due to changes resulting from adjustments to the net income for the period, the increase in inventories, receivables and other assets, and the decrease in liabilities.

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to € -2,170 thousand (previous year: € -3,024 thousand) and mainly resulted from the capitalisation of development costs.

Cash flow from financing activities was positive at € 3,613 thousand (previous year: € -15,905 thousand). This was mainly due to cash inflows from short-term loans and research grants received. The repayment of lease liabilities and interest paid had a counteracting effect.

Net assets

Non-current assets

Fixed assets mainly included capitalised development costs under intangible assets. At € 16,967 thousand, intangible assets in the first nine months of the 2025 financial year were below the figure as at 31 December 2024 (31 December 2024: € 17,863 thousand). Property, plant and equipment decreased to €13,517 thousand due to scheduled depreciation (31 December 2024: € 16,283 thousand).

Receivables

Trade receivables amounted to € 26,371 thousand, which was above the figure as at 31 December 2024 (31 December 2024: € 24,973 thousand). Impairment losses on trade receivables amounted to € 2,213 thousand, which was on a par with the level at the end of the 2024 financial year (€ 2,236 thousand).

Inventories

At € 26,144 thousand, the balance sheet value of inventories was higher than at the end of the 2024 financial year (31 December 2024: € 25,748 thousand).

Liabilities

Trade payables increased from € 3,079 thousand at the end of 2024 to € 4,501 thousand.

Contract liabilities amounted to € 1,234 thousand, which was below the figure at the end of the 2024 financial year (31 December 2024: € 2,195 thousand) and included delivery and service obligations from contracts with customers in accordance with IFRS 15.

Other current financial liabilities amounted to € 2,661 thousand (31 December 2024: € 2,908 thousand) and resulted from current lease liabilities.

Other non-current financial liabilities included € 242 thousand (31 December 2024: € 526 thousand) in the non-current portion of bank loans and € 9,740 thousand (31 December 2024: € 11,536 thousand) in non-current lease liabilities.

Equity

At € 47,276 thousand, total equity was below the figure at the end of the 2024 financial year (31 December 2024: € 50,683 thousand). This change is due to the net income for the period and currency differences. At 50.8 %, the equity ratio was below the figure for 31 December 2024 (31 December 2024: 53.6 %), partly due to the decline in equity. The figure for the corresponding period of the previous year was 54.0 %.

REPORT ON FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS IN 2025

Economic conditions

According to the autumn 2025 economic forecast by the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW), the international environment remains characterised by considerable uncertainty. The US government's protectionist trade policy is increasingly slowing down international trade in goods – with noticeable effects on its own economy. In China, economic growth is being hampered not only by the ongoing real estate crisis but also by profound structural challenges. While economic momentum is slowing in industrialised countries, emerging markets remain the key growth engine of the global economy. The DIW expects global growth of 3.7 % for the current year. In the following years, growth is forecast to be 3.3 % (2026) and 3.5 % (2027).

According to the ifo Institute's autumn 2025 economic forecast, the German economy also remains in a tense situation. Following stagnation in the first half of the year, only slight growth of 0.2 % in price-adjusted gross domestic product (GDP) is expected for 2025 as a whole. For 2026 and 2027, the ifo economic experts forecast moderate growth of 1.3 and 1.6 % respectively. The federal government could provide a decisive impetus for economic recovery – provided it resolutely implements the measures agreed in the coalition agreement. In particular, the planned investments in infrastructure and defence under the new financial constitution could provide important growth impulses.

Economic capacity remains underutilised at present. According to the ifo Institute, companies in almost all sectors are reporting persistently weak demand and declining international competitiveness. The US import tariffs that remain in place are having a particularly negative impact. Although advance deliveries to US customers in the first quarter of 2025 led to a short-term upturn in industrial production and exports, there were already slight declines again in the second quarter. At least corporate investment has shown a cautiously positive trend since the beginning of the year.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has raised its global growth forecast for 2025 from 3.0 to 3.2 %. Despite US tariffs being lower than feared, the overall environment remains volatile. The pull-forward effects that supported the economy in the first half of the year are gradually fading, with the IMF still expecting growth to slow to 3.1 % in 2026. The IMF forecasts growth rates of 2.0 % for the US in 2025 and 2.1 % in 2026. For the eurozone, the IMF expects growth of 1.2 % in the current year and 1.1 % in 2026, driven mainly by the expected recovery in Germany. The IMF expects the German economy to grow slightly by 0.2 % in the current year and by 0.9 % in 2026. The strongest growth is expected in the emerging economies of Asia, particularly India and China, with sequential growth rates of 6.2 and 5.0 %. At the same time, the IMF warns that in order to rebuild fiscal buffers in the medium term, structural reforms and independent monetary institutions are needed in addition to the fiscal packages planned by many countries to secure supply chains and stimulate domestic industry.

The mood in the German mechanical and plant engineering sector continued to deteriorate in the third quarter of 2025. According to the German Engineering Federation (VDMA), the majority of the 877 companies surveyed (61 %) do not expect any change in the coming six months, while only about one in five companies (21 %) is optimistic about the next six months. Around 18 % expect the situation to deteriorate. VDMA Chief Economist Dr. Johannes Gernandt emphasises the continuing difficult and challenging conditions. The tariff dispute with the USA, increasing competition from China and the weakness of important customer industries are weighing on the sector. The automotive industry is particularly hard hit – over 75 % of companies rate the situation there as poor or very poor. The outlook is correspondingly weak in automotive-related sectors such as machine tools, robotics, automation and precision tools. The mood is also mixed in the chemical and electrical and electronics industries – around one-third of respondents in each case view the situation critically, while around half describe it as "satisfactory". Hardly anyone expects a short-term

{22}------------------------------------------------

improvement. The situation is more positive in selected other customer industries. The defence, shipbuilding, pharmaceuticals, aerospace and medical technology industries assess the outlook for the next six months more positively. In macroeconomic terms, the VDMA expects real growth in machine sales of 1 % worldwide in 2025. The forecast for the eurozone countries has been lowered slightly to -3 %, mainly due to weaker development in Germany. For 2026, the association expects real growth of 2 % globally. While price-adjusted stagnation in machinery sales is looming in the EU and also in the eurozone, development in Asian countries is likely to remain above average, according to the VDMA.

Results of operations

The further development of order intake and revenue in 2025 will depend to a large extent on the overall economic situation and the willingness of Viscom's customers to invest. In addition, the continuing geopolitical conflicts and US trade policy may also have a negative impact on Viscom's business activities in various countries. Persistent concerns about inflation and interest rates, as well as energy and raw material prices in Germany that remain high compared to other countries, are leading to further negative effects, including on Viscom. Viscom continues to expect order intake and target revenue of €80 to € 90 million for the 2025 financial year, with an EBIT-Margin of between 2 and 5 %. This corresponds to EBIT of € 1.6 to € 4.5 million.

Financial position

Liquidity will be secured for the 2025 financial year from own funds and within the scope of available credit lines. Any additional financing requirements or measures will depend on the general changes in the economic environment. Opportunities for government subsidies will be continuously reviewed and utilised as necessary.
