This interim report has been prepared in Swedish and translated into English. In the event of any discrepancies between the Swedish original and the translation, the Swedish shall have precedence.
• The Board has decided to investigate the conditions for a distribution and separate listing of Salix Group under Lex Asea rules, whereby Volati's shares in Salix Group would be distributed to Volati's ordinary shareholders, with the aim of creating two separate and focused companies with the best possible conditions for continued growth.

Volati's net sales for Q3 increased by 9 percent to SEK 2,082 million and EBITA rose by 11 percent to SEK 206 million, driven by Salix Group's strong performance. Salix increased its EBITA by over 50 percent through good organic growth and acquisitions, while also improving margins.
Cash flow was strong during the quarter and Net debt/adjusted EBITDA fell to 2.8x – in line with the same quarter in the previous year. The fourth quarter is historically strong from a cash flow perspective, which creates conditions for continued acquisitive growth. We see good activity in the acquisition process, with several interesting opportunities for valuecreating add-on acquisitions to our platforms.
Salix Group increased its net sales by 19 percent to SEK 1,031 million, driven by both acquisitions and organic growth. The EBITA margin strengthened by 3 percentage points to 12 percent, which means that EBITA increased by over 50 percent to SEK 125 (83) million. With market conditions in the construction-related segments gradually improving, we are seeing the effects of the focused improvement work of recent years.
Previously completed acquisitions contributed to increasing Ettiketto Group's net sales by 27 percent to SEK 297 million. The quarter started with temporarily weaker demand in Sweden, which gradually improved during the quarter. The EBITA margin was lower than in the previous year, mainly due to Clever Etiketten, which was acquired at the beginning of the year and has a significantly lower margin than the rest of the business area. As with previous acquisitions, we are working to gradually raise Clever Etiketten's margins towards Ettiketto Group's levels.
Industry's net sales fell by 8 percent to SEK 755 million and the EBITA of SEK 39 million was lower than in the same quarter in the previous year. The weak quarter was due to Corroventa not having any significant effect from flooding, unlike in the previous year. EBITA for the other platforms was in line with or better than the previous year. The earnings improvements for these platforms were largely driven by our targeted structural work. Industry continues to be affected by subdued demand in the platforms' end markets.

Volati currently consists of six platforms which we sustainably develop through organic growth and acquisitions. Salix Group, established through the acquisition of Lomond Industrier ten years ago, is Volati's largest platform at present. Since 2021, Salix Group has had its own Board, operating under an ownership mandate from the Volati Board. This has resulted in a more independent business area with enhanced authority to make decisions on acquisitions, investments and strategy.
Focus and clarity are crucial for successful value creation. The experience from the distribution and separate listing of Bokusgruppen in 2021 showed how this can highlight value and release new momentum for growth.
Weaker market conditions in recent years have temporarily dampened organic growth in several of Volati's platforms and created a gap in relation to our long-term growth target. Through a clearer structure and increased focus, we see good opportunities to close this gap as market conditions gradually normalise. We are now seeing clear signs of recovery in several parts of Salix Group.
It is therefore the Board's assessment that the time is right to investigate the conditions for a distribution and separate listing of Salix Group under Lex Asea rules, through which Volati's shares in Salix Group would be distributed to Volati's ordinary shareholders. The aim is to create a strong and focused independent company with full scope to strengthen growth and create long-term shareholder value. A separate listing of Salix Group would also release capacity and enable Volati to increase its focus on continuing development of the remaining platforms.
No final decisions have been made, and we are still in an early evaluation phase. Should the Board decide to proceed with the distribution and separate listing, the intention is to present the matter in 2026 to a General Meeting in Volati for resolution.

Operating cash flow Q3 2025
The Group's net sales for Q3 amounted to SEK 2,082 (1,917) million, an increase of 9 percent compared with the same quarter in the previous year. Organically, net sales increased by 1 percent during the quarter.
The Group's net sales for the period January-September 2025 amounted to SEK 6,399 (5,859) million, an increase of 9 percent compared with the same period in the previous year. Organically, net sales increased by 1 percent during the same period.
EBITA for Q3 amounted to SEK 206 (186) million. Salix Group reported improved earnings, while Industry and Ettiketto Group showed a decline in earnings compared with the same quarter in the previous year. Profit after tax for Q3 increased by 23 percent to SEK 103 (83) million.
EBITA for the period January-September 2025 increased by 12 percent to SEK 586 (522) million. Profit after tax for the same period increased by 14 percent to SEK 268 (235) million.
Operating cash flow (for definition and calculation, see pages 24-25) amounted to SEK 197 (177) million in Q3. Compared with the same quarter in the previous year, operating cash flow was positively affected by improved earnings and reduced capital tied up in inventories. The Group's operating cash flow for the period January-September 2025 amounted to SEK 326 (405) million, mainly due to an increase in tied-up working capital.
Cash flow from operating activities for Q3 (see page 16) amounted to SEK 207 (154) million. Cash flow from operating activities for the period January-September 2025 was SEK 281 (316) million.
Investments in non-current assets during Q3 amounted to SEK 29 (19) million and were primarily ongoing business investments in machinery, equipment and IT systems.
Dividends of SEK 16 (16) million were paid in Q3.


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.

The Group's equity amounted to SEK 2,170 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 the period's net profit and dividends. The equity ratio was 28 percent on 30 September 2025, 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.


2.8x
Net debt/ adjusted EBITDA Q3 2025
The Group had net debt of SEK 2,435 million on 30 September 2025, compared with 2,105 million on 31 December 2024. The change in net debt is mainly due to acquisitions, earnings for the period, dividends and changes in working capital. Net debt/adjusted EBITDA was 2.8x at the end of the quarter, compared with 2.6x at the end of 2024. Total liabilities amounted to SEK 5,581 (5,115) million on 30 September 2025, of which interest-bearing liabilities, including pension obligations and lease liabilities, amounted to SEK 3,103 (2,820) million.
Acquisitions are a core element of Volati's strategy for creating long-term value growth, and the Company continuously evaluates both complementary add-on acquisitions and acquisitions in new lines of business. It is Volati's assessment that there is a lower risk level for add-on acquisitions than for acquisitions in new lines of business, as in-depth industrial know-how and a recipient organisation are already in place in the acquiring company. Add-on acquisitions also enable synergies.
No acquisitions or divestments were made during Q3. For acquisitions in Q1 and Q2 2025, see note 4.
The diagrams relate to the 12-month period 1 October 2024 to 30 September 2025. Acquired operations are included in the relevant business area from the acquisition closing date and their proportion is calculated net of central costs and items affecting comparability.

Salix Group offers products for building and industry, primarily hardware, consumables, material and packaging. The business area also offers a broad range of products for home and garden, and agriculture and forestry. The products consist of both own brands and external brands.

Salix Group's net sales showed positive growth in Q3, with an increase of 19 percent to SEK 1,031 million, driven by acquisitions and organic growth. The EBITA margin increased by 3 percentage points to 12 percent compared with the same period in the previous year. EBITA for Q3 increased by 51 percent to SEK 125 million. Net sales for the period January-September 2025 amounted to SEK 3,158 million, an increase of 17 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
developments moving in the right direction and we saw a general improvement in the important construction-related segments during the quarter. The positive EBITA trend is due to both acquisitions and organic growth. For the third quarter in a row, Salix Group's margin strengthened, which was a result of the work on cost control, synergies within the Group and active market development. Longterm demand for Salix Group's products is expected to be good, but the market remains uncertain in the near term. With its disciplined work on efficiency improvements, customer communication, pricing and a focus on growth, Salix Group is well positioned for increased volumes.
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 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 27 percent to SEK 297 million, driven by the acquisition of Clever Etiketten GmbH. EBITA for the quarter was SEK 59 (52) million, a decline of 12 percent. Net sales for the period January-September 2025 increased by 32 percent compared with the previous year and EBITA increased by SEK 17 million.
The quarter started with temporarily weaker demand in Sweden, which gradually improved during the quarter. The increase in net sales during the quarter is entirely due to the acquisition of Clever Etiketten which accounted for 24 percent of Ettiketto Group's Q3 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 in progress and, as with previous acquisitions, we expect to see a gradual margin strengthening for Clever Etiketten. The acquisition establishes a new platform in Central Europe, enabling Ettiketto Group to continue developing its proven ability to consolidate markets and improve the profitability of acquired companies. The prospects for continued acquisitive growth are considered good.
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 fell by 8 percent to SEK 755 million in Q3. The EBITA margin was 1 percentage point lower than in the same quarter in the previous year. Three of the business area's four platforms are delivering an EBITA in line with or better than the same period the previous year, driven by our targeted structural work. Net sales for the period January-September 2025 showed a decline of 6 percent and EBITA fell to SEK 149 (181) million.

The Communication platform performed well in the quarter, increasing its earnings from the previous year,
despite lower volumes due to weak market conditions. The Corroventa platform was up against challenging comparative figures from the previous year, and in Q3, there was no significant impact from flooding in Europe, which had a negative effect on the quarter's earnings. The Tornum Group platform showed a positive earnings trend during the quarter compared with the previous year, even though the market remains cautious. The S:t Eriks platform continued to face a cautious construction market, while products for the infrastructure segment experienced stable demand.
The business area sees acquisition opportunities in several of its operations.
Head office comprises the central costs in the Parent Company Volati AB and associated operations. Head office costs for the third quarter amounted to SEK 15 (13) million. Head office costs for the period January-September 2025 amounted to SEK 44 (37) million.
Volati has two classes of shares: ordinary shares and preference shares. The shares are listed on Nasdaq Stockholm under the tickers VOLO and VOLO PREF. The number of shareholders at the end of Q3 2025 was 11,709.
The number of ordinary shares on 30 September 2025 was 79,406,571 and the number of preference shares was 1,603,774. Share capital amounted to SEK 10 million on the same date.
In July, Volati AB repurchased 20 shares in Volati Agri 1 AB through the subsidiary Volati Agri Holding AB. The transaction reflects Volati's business model of creating common interest with key individuals within Volati through co-investments. The transaction was conducted at market conditions.
The Board has decided to investigate the conditions for a distribution and separate listing of Salix Group under Lex Asea rules, whereby Volati's shares in Salix Group would be distributed to Volati's ordinary shareholders for the purpose of creating two separate, focused companies with the best possible conditions for continued growth.

The Group applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. This interim 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 period Jul-Sep 2025, the amount was SEK -2.6 (-0.6) million.
Some figures 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 interim report.
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.
At the end of Q3, Volati consisted of the three business areas Salix Group, Ettiketto Group and Industry. Segment reporting follows the principles set out in the 2024 Annual Report.

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 all shares in the tool and machinery wholesaler Hans Eggestrand AB, annual revenue SEK 45 million, as an add-on acquisition for the Salix Group platform. The acquisition was finalised with access to the shares on 22 May.
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 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 30 September would have been as follows: sales SEK 245 million, EBITDA SEK 11 million, EBITA SEK 6 million and operating profit SEK 4 million.
The fair values of the Group's financial assets and liabilities are not materially different from their carrying amounts.

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. |
| Non-IFRS APMs and key metrics | Description | Reason for use |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
Operating cash flow is used by management to monitor cash flow generated by operating activities. |
| Net debt/Adjusted EBITDA | Calculated as the sum of interest-bearing loans, finance lease liabilities, provisions for pensions and liabilities attributable to unrealised losses on valuations of outstanding derivatives less cash and cash equivalents, endowment insurance assets and assets attributable to unrealised gains on valuations of outstanding derivatives in relation to adjusted EBITDA for the period. |
The metric can be used to assess financial risk. |
| Return on capital employed (ROCE excl. goodwill) |
EBITA excluding items affecting comparability for the last 12 months divided by average capital employed for the last 12 months. |
Shows the return on capital employed generated by each business area and the Group without taking into consideration acquisition-related intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. |
| Return on capital employed including goodwill (ROCE incl. goodwill) |
EBITA excluding items affecting comparability for the last 12 months divided by average capital employed including goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives for the last 12 months. |
Shows the return on capital employed generated by each business area and the Group. |

To the Board of Directors of Volati AB (publ.)
Corp. id. 556555-4317
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Volati AB (publ.) as of 30 September 2025 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director 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.
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.
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.
