{2}------------------------------------------------
EBITA growth of 10 percent for full-year 2025
Net sales for Q4 were SEK 2,020 million, in line with the same quarter in the previous year. A strong performance from Salix Group contributed to EBITA increasing by 3 percent to SEK 140 million. Net sales for full-year 2025 increased by 7 percent to SEK 8,419 million, with Ettiketto Group showing strong growth of almost 30 percent. EBITA amounted to SEK 726 million, representing growth of 10 percent, with Salix Group contributing the most, increasing EBITA by 50 percent, half of which was organic.
Continued margin improvement for Salix Group
Salix Group increased its net sales for Q4 by 7 percent to SEK 957 million, driven by acquisitions. The structural measures and improvement efforts of recent years, together with positive currency effects, continued to produce good results. The EBITA margin strengthened by 3 percentage points to 9 percent during the quarter. This contributed to EBITA of SEK 87 million for Q4, an increase of 74 percent from the same quarter in 2024. The EBITA margin for full-year 2025 increased to 10 percent, compared with 8 percent in the previous year.
Strong European market position for Ettiketto Group
The strong net sales trend seen in recent quarters continued in Q4, with growth of 19 percent to SEK 300 million. At the same time, EBITA was in line with the same quarter in the previous year.
After the end of the quarter, full ownership of all shares in Interket Group was assumed. The company has annual net sales of approximately SEK 450 million and establishes Ettiketto Group in the Netherlands and the UK, while strengthening its presence in Germany and Sweden. Interket Group is a well-invested and well-managed company but does not currently match Ettiketto Group's industry-leading margins. We have previously demonstrated how long-term integration of acquisitions creates synergies that contribute to improved profitability.
Varying performance for Industry
Net sales for Industry decreased by 12 percent to SEK 763 million during the quarter. The EBITA margin was 3 percent, compared with 7 percent for the same quarter in the previous year. The business area's net sales for the full year decreased by 7 percent and the EBITA margin fell from 7 percent to 6 percent.
We summarise a year in which all platforms in the Industry business area faced challenging market conditions and delivered below historical levels. However, Tornum Group and Communication strengthened their margins for both Q4 and the full year. Despite lower sales due to the weak construction

market, S:t Eriks maintained its earnings during the first nine months of the year, reflecting successful work to strengthen margins. In Q4, S:t Eriks was impacted by delayed deliveries within infrastructure, which resulted in the company reporting worse earnings than the previous year. Corroventa's full-year earnings were lower due to the absence of flooding during 2025. Historically, we very rarely experience such a dry year. Industry puts an extraordinary year behind it, and all platforms are well positioned for when market conditions improve.
Well positioned for higher earnings growth combined with value-creating acquisitions
Value-creating acquisitions are a key component of our business model. We have maintained a high acquisition rate in recent years, even though several platforms have been negatively affected by the economic downturn. During 2025, we accepted temporarily higher leverage, which enabled acquisitions with combined annual net sales of SEK 750 million. Despite completed acquisitions, we ended the year with a net debt/adjusted EBITDA ratio of 2.5, compared with 2.6 at the end of 2024, clearly demonstrating the strength of our cash flows.
The Volati Board has proposed an unchanged dividend of SEK 2.0 per ordinary share, to be paid in two equal instalments of SEK 1.0. This gives us flexibility to rebalance leverage and thereby act on acquisition opportunities as early as the first half of 2026. Our platforms are well positioned to support both organic and acquisition-driven growth at a high pace. We see more opportunities for value-creating acquisitions than usual and can accept temporarily higher leverage, enabling us to act when opportunities arise.
In 2025, we returned to growth, with EBITA growth of 10 percent, and earnings per ordinary share increased by 14 percent. Within Salix Group, we have gradually seen earnings effects during the year from improved market conditions, and we look forward to a similar development in Industry.
The process of evaluating the conditions for a distribution and separate listing of Salix Group is continuing as planned. Should the Board decide to proceed with the distribution and separate listing, it remains the intention to present the matter to a general meeting of Volati's shareholders for resolution during 2026.
We enter 2026 well positioned for continued long-term value creation.

Cash flow
Operating cash flow (for definition and calculation, see pages 24-25) amounted to SEK 403 (374) million in Q4. Operating cash flow for the quarter was positively affected by lower net investments in property, plant & equipment and intangible assets, a reduction in tied-up working capital and improved earnings. The Group's operating cash flow for full-year 2025 amounted to SEK 728 (779) million, with the decline mainly due to an increase in tied-up working capital.
Cash flow from operating activities for Q4 (see page 16) amounted to SEK 465 (464) million. Cash flow from operating activities for full-year 2025 was SEK 746 (780) million.
Investments in non-current assets during Q4 amounted to SEK 40 (51) million and consisted mainly of ongoing investments in machinery, equipment and IT systems.

Seasonal variations
Volati's sales, earnings and cash flow are affected by seasonal variations. This means that Volati's operations, sales and earnings development should ideally be analysed on a rolling 12-month basis.


Equity
The Group's equity amounted to SEK 2,171 million at the end of the period, compared with SEK 2,215 million at the end of the previous year. The change is mainly attributable to net profit and dividends for the period. The equity ratio on 31 December 2025 was 28 percent, compared with 30 percent at the end of 2024. The return on adjusted equity was 19 percent, compared with 16 percent at the end of 2024.

The Group's net debt amounted to SEK 2,081 million on 31 December 2025, compared with 2,105 million on 31 December 2024. The change in net debt during the year is mainly due to operating cash flow, acquisitions and dividends. Net debt/adjusted EBITDA was 2.5x at the end of the 2025, compared with 2.6x at the end of 2024. Total liabilities amounted to SEK 5,600 (5,236) million on 31 December 2025, of which interest-bearing liabilities, including pension obligations and lease liabilities, amounted to SEK 3,249 (2,948) million.
{6}------------------------------------------------
Business acquisitions and divestments
Acquisitions are a key part of Volati's strategy to create long-term value growth. Volati continuously evaluates both complementary add-on acquisitions and acquisitions in new lines of business. Volati considers the risk level for add-on acquisitions to be generally lower than for acquisitions in new lines of business, as in-depth industrial know-how and an established recipient organisation are already in place in the acquiring company. Add-on acquisitions also enable synergies and efficiency.
Full ownership of all shares in Interket Group was assumed in January 2026. The company is a leading supplier of self-adhesive label solutions, with operations in Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK. The acquisition is an add-on acquisition for Ettiketto Group, which strengthens the business area's presence in the European market. Interket Group has annual net sales of approximately SEK 450 million.
For acquisitions during the period January–December, see note 4.

Salix Group's sales developed positively in Q4, increasing by 7 percent to SEK 957 million, compared with SEK 892 million, driven by acquisitions. The EBITA margin for the quarter increased by 3 percentage points to 9 percent. EBITA increased by 74 percent to SEK 87 million during Q4. Net sales for full-year 2025 amounted to SEK 4,115 million, an increase of 15 percent compared with the previous year. In the same period, the EBITA margin increased by 2 percentage points to 10 percent.
In recent quarters, Salix Group has seen market development moving in the right direction, although the market remains challenging. As in the previous quarters,

we see positive trends in the key construction-related segments. The positive EBITA trend is due to both acquisitive and organic growth. The margin strengthened during the quarter, compared with the previous year, which was a result of the work on cost control, synergies within the Group and active market development. Long-term demand for Salix Group's products is expected to be solid, but the market remains uncertain in the near term. With its disciplined work on efficiency improvements, customer dialogue, pricing and a focus on growth, Salix Group is well positioned for increased volumes when the market strengthens.
{8}------------------------------------------------
The process of integrating and developing Hans Eggestrand and Timberman is on track. The acquisitions strengthen the business area's operations aimed at customers in the hardware, construction, industrial and electrical wholesale sectors and the interior fittings market. The business area sees further acquisition opportunities in several of its operations.
Ettiketto Group
Ettiketto Group is a leading Nordic supplier of self-adhesive labels for a variety of applications including consumer goods, food and industry. The company also has a comprehensive range of labelling machines that are integrated into customers' production lines.

Ettiketto Group's net sales for the quarter increased by 19 percent to SEK 300 million, driven by the acquisition of Clever Etiketten GmbH. EBITA for the quarter decreased from SEK 51 million to SEK 49 million. Net sales for fullyear 2025 increased by 29 percent compared with the previous year and EBITA increased by 7 percent to SEK 215 (200) million.
We see a continued gradual normalisation of market conditions in Sweden following weaker demand during the third quarter. The increase in net sales for Q4 is due to the acquisition of Clever Etiketten, which accounted for 22 percent of Ettiketto Group's net sales. As expected, the EBITA margin decreased, due to Clever Etiketten having a

lower margin than the other companies in Ettiketto Group. The integration of Clever Etiketten is progressing according to plan, and, as with other acquisitions, we expect a gradual margin strengthening over time. Through the acquisition, Ettiketto Group establishes a new platform in Central Europe, creating the conditions for continued development of Ettiketto Group's proven ability to consolidate markets and improve the profitability of acquired companies. The prospects for continued acquisitive growth are considered good.
Full ownership of all shares in Interket Group was assumed in January. The company is a leading supplier of self-adhesive label solutions, with operations in Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK. The acquisition is an add-on acquisition for Ettiketto Group, which strengthens the business area's presence in the European market. Interket Group has annual net sales of approximately SEK 450 million.
{9}------------------------------------------------
Industry
The Industry business area consists of four businesses with leading market positions in their own niches. The businesses are manufacturing suppliers of solutions in grain handling, moisture and water damage restoration, infrastructure for telecom and lighting, and stone and cement products for infrastructure, paving and roofing.

The business area's net sales for Q4 fell by 12 percent to SEK 763 million. The EBITA margin was 4 percentage points lower than in the same quarter in the previous year. To manage the effects of a cautious market, the businesses are actively working on pricing, productivity improvements and cost control, while maintaining close customer dialogue. Net sales for full-year 2025 decreased by 7 percent and the EBITA margin fell from 7 percent to 6 percent.


figures and the absence of flooding had a negative effect on EBITA during the quarter. The Tornum Group platform continued to operate under difficult market conditions. The margin was strengthened and EBITA for the quarter was in line with the previous year. The S:t Eriks platform faced a still cautious construction market, and along with delayed deliveries in infrastructure this had a negative effect on both sales and EBITA.
Head office
Head office comprises the central functions in the Parent Company Volati AB and associated operations. Head office costs for Q4 amounted to SEK 16 (16) million. Costs for full-year 2025 were SEK 60 (53) million.

Notes to consolidated financial statements
Note 1 Accounting policies
The Group applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. This year-end report for the Group has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups. The report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The accounting policies are consistent with those applied by the Group in the 2024 annual report.
During Q3 2024, there was a change to the presentation of the discount effect for additional consideration, which has been transferred from Other operating income and expenses to Finance income and costs. For the quarter Oct-Dec 2025, the amount was SEK -1.8 (-1.4) million.
Some amounts in this report have been rounded, which means that certain tables do not always add up exactly. This applies where figures are stated in thousands, millions or billions. Pages 1-12 of this report are an integral part of the year-end report.
Note 2 Risks and uncertainties
The current situation of several armed conflicts in the world and the imposition of certain trade tariffs is creating uncertainty in the world market. Volati is closely monitoring developments in Europe and the world market.
It is the assessment that the Group's other material risks and uncertainties are unchanged from those described in detail in the 2024 Annual Report.
Note 3 Segment reporting
At the end of full-year 2025, Volati consisted of the business areas Salix Group, Ettiketto Group and Industry. Segment reporting follows the principles set out in the 2024 Annual Report.

Note 4 Business acquisitions
On 4 February, all shares in Clever Etiketten GmbH (including sister companies) were acquired – a leading supplier of label solutions in Germany. This is an add-on acquisition for Ettiketto Group. Clever Etiketten reported annual sales of approximately SEK 290 million in 2024.
On 25 April, an agreement was signed to acquire the tool and machinery wholesaler Hans Eggestrand AB, with annual net sales of SEK 45 million, for Salix Group. The acquisition was finalised with access to the shares on 22 May.
On 1 December, the operations of Swerock's concrete plant in Rättvik were acquired as an add-on acquisition for Industry. The business reported net sales of approximately SEK 17 million in 2024.
The Group's earnings were affected by transaction costs of SEK 8 million for the above acquisitions. Goodwill of SEK 28 million arising from the transactions is supported by several factors, largely attributable to the acquired companies' synergies, employees and market shares. Contingent consideration of SEK 14 million related to acquisitions in previous years was settled during the second quarter.
The preliminary impact of the acquisitions on the Volati Group's balance sheet on the acquisition date is set out below.

If the acquisitions had been consolidated with effect from 1 January 2025, their contribution to the Group's income statement, excluding transaction costs, for the period 1 January to 31 December would have been as follows: sales SEK 339 million, EBITDA SEK 13 million, EBITA SEK 3 million and operating profit SEK -1 million.

Note 6 Alternative performance measures
The financial reports published by Volati include alternative performance measures (APMs), which supplement the metrics defined or specified in the applicable rules for financial reporting, such as revenue, profit or loss and earnings per share. APMs are specified when they, in their context, provide clearer or more in-depth data than those metrics defined in the applicable rules for financial reporting. The basis for APMs is that they are used by management to assess financial performance and can thus be considered to give analysts and other stakeholders valuable information.
Volati regularly uses APMs as a complement to the key metrics defined in IFRS. The APMs derive from Volati's consolidated accounts and do not comprise measures of financial performance or liquidity in accordance with IFRS and, accordingly, should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating profit or other key metrics that are derived pursuant to IFRS or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of consolidated liquidity.
The following table sets out definitions for Volati's key figures. The calculation of APMs is presented separately below.
| Non-IFRS APMs and key metrics | Description | Reason for use |
|---|---|---|
| EBITDA | Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation. |
EBITDA is used together with EBITA to clarify earnings before the effects of depreciation and impairment, and before amortisation of acquisition-related intangible assets, in order to provide a view of the profit generated by operating activities. |
| Items affecting comparability | These include transaction-related costs, restructuring costs, contingent consideration remeasurement, capital gains/losses on the sale of operations and non-current assets, and other items that affect comparability over time. |
Items affecting comparability represent income and expenses that are not attributable to the underlying performance of the business. |
| Adjusted EBITDA | Calculated as EBITDA, adjusted by adding back to earnings, as a minus item, interest expenses and depreciation attributable to operating leases for the last twelve months, as of the current reporting date, for the companies included in the Group on the reporting date, as if they had been owned for the last 12 months, adjusted for items affecting comparability. |
Adjusted EBITDA provides management and investors with a view of the size of the operations included in the Group at the reporting date, as it does not include items not directly attributable to day-to-day operations. Also used in our covenant calculations for the bank. |
| EBITA | Earnings before interest, taxes and amortisation. | Together with EBITDA, EBITA provides a view of the profit generated by operating activities. |
| EBITA excl. items affecting comparability |
Calculated as EBITA, adjusted for items affecting comparability. |
Used by management to monitor the underlying earnings growth for the Group. |
| EBITA growth per ordinary share | Calculated as EBITA divided by the number of ordinary shares outstanding at the end of the period compared with the same period the previous year. |
Used to illustrate earnings per ordinary share generated by operating activities. |
| Organic net sales growth | Calculated as net sales for the period, adjusted for acquired and divested net sales and currency effects, compared with net sales for the same period the previous year as if the units had been owned for the same length of time in the comparative period as the length of time they have been legally consolidated in the current period. |
This metric is used by management to monitor the underlying net sales growth in existing operations. |
| Organic EBITA growth | Calculated as EBITA excluding items affecting comparability for the period, adjusted for total acquired and divested EBITA and currency effects, compared with EBITA excluding items affecting comparability for the same period the previous year, as if the units had been owned for the same length of time in the comparative period as the length of time they have been legally consolidated in the current period. |
Used by management to monitor the underlying earnings growth for existing operations. |
| Return on equity | Net profit (including share attributable to non-controlling interests) divided by average equity for the last four quarters (including share attributable to non-controlling interests). |
Shows the return generated on the total capital invested in the Company by shareholders. |
| Return on adjusted equity | Net profit (including share attributable to non-controlling interests) less preference share dividend divided by average equity for the last four quarters (including share attributable to non-controlling interests) less preference share capital. |
Shows the underlying return generated on ordinary share capital invested in the Company by owners of ordinary shares. |
| Equity ratio | Equity (including share attributable to non-controlling | The metric can be used to assess financial risk. |
| interests) as a percentage of total assets. | ||
| Cash conversion | Calculated as operating cash flow for the last twelve months divided by EBITDA, adjusted by adding back to earnings, as a minus item, interest expenses and depreciation attributable to operating leases for the last twelve months as of the current reporting date. |
Cash conversion is used by management to monitor how efficiently the Company manages working capital and ongoing investments. |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating cash flow | Calculated as EBITDA, adjusted by adding back to earnings, as a minus item, interest expenses and depreciation attributable to operating leases, adjusted for non-cash items less the net of investments in and disposals of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, and adjusted for cash flow from changes in working capital including prepaid operating lease expenses. |
