CEO's statement
Order intake and earnings
Order intake in the first quarter was on a par with the
corresponding period last year. In the renovation segment, a
slight increase was noted, while the new build segment
developed weaker. The order backlog at the end of the quarter
was just over 20 percent higher than at the same time last year,
with growth in both renovation and new build. Order intake in
Balco Group should be assessed over a longer period of time,
as it may vary from quarter to quarter depending on the timing
of larger projects. During the first quarter, no major individual
projects were booked. Cash flow continued to develop
positively during the quarter.
Net sales decreased by five percent during the quarter, of
which the currency effect had a negative impact of two
percent. Sales increased in Sweden and Norway, while it
decreased in Denmark and Finland as a result of lower order
intake last year. Outside the Nordic region, sales increased.
The forecast at the end of last year indicated that the first
quarter would be characterised by lower sales and earnings.
The subsequent increased uncertainty in the world has delayed
improved developments. Profitability improved compared
with the corresponding period last year, but remains well
below our targets.
The new build segment had a negative impact on profitability
during the quarter. At the same time, parts of the renovation
segment developed weakly in a number of companies as a
result of lower volumes and lowered forecasts for coverage
ratio in individual projects.
We have implemented extensive measures, but the continued
weak profitability and increased uncertainty in the world mean
that work on further cost savings and other structural
measures continues.
Market
The level of activity in the renovation segment in Sweden and
Norway continues to improve, but is still below the levels
before the outbreak of the Ukraine war. There is a significant
underlying need for renovation, and we see that projects that
have been postponed for several years are becoming
increasingly urgent to implement. The need has not
disappeared, but only been postponed.
At the same time, customer dialogues and investment
decisions are affected by the increased uncertainty in the
world. All in all, this means a somewhat fragmented market
picture and some uncertainty about future developments.
In Denmark, we do not yet see a clear market turnaround,
although order intake in the first quarter increased compared
with the previous year. There is activity in the market, but
decision-making processes and the time to possible project
start-ups are still protracted.
The Finnish new build market remains strained and shows no
clear signs of recovery. There are still a large number of
unoccupied apartments in the Helsinki area, which has a
negative impact on new construction. The forecast for the
renovation segment in Finland has been that p roject activity
would increase slightly in 2026, which was partly confirmed in
the first quarter.
For other markets outside the Nordic region, the market
situation is considered to be in line with previous assessments.
In the UK market and in Germany, we continue to see
significant potential in the new build segment, at the same
time the competition is high, especially in larger projects. In
the renovation segment in Germany, we continue to see good
potential in the customer segments where we have a strategic
focus. Our Finnish glazing from Riikku helps to broaden our
offering and strengthens our position by complementing our
premium products from Balco.
Outlook
Our assessment is that the trend of an increased level of
activity in the renovation market will continue. At the same
time, the geopolitical turmoil and its impact on material
prices have contributed to a more subdued view of market
developments going forward, partly as a result of increased
inflation risk and thus the risk of higher interest rates.
The profitability of Balco Group is not yet satisfactory, but the
remedial work in the companies that do not achieve our
goals continues with further cost adjustments and
strengthened project management.
The Board of Directors and management continuously
evaluate the company's financial situation in relation to
future earnings capacity and cash flow. The outcome for the
first quarter is within the covenant levels defined in the
waiver received until mid-year.

Other information
Seasonality
Balco Group's sales and earnings are partly affected by the timing of orders, seasonal variations and the fact that the gener al meeting
season in tenant -owner associations normally falls in the second and fourth quarters. Furthermore, the Group is positive ly affected by
months with many working days and lack of time off, as well as negatively affected by weather factors where winters with significant
snowfall mean increased costs.
Related party transactions
The related parties consist of the Board of Directors, Group Management and the CEO, partly through ownership in Balco and pa rtly
through the role of senior executive. The related parties also include the company's largest shareholder, the Hamrin family, which is
represented on the Board of Directors by Carl-Mikael Lindholm, and during part of the quarter also Skandrenting, which was represented
on the Board of Directors by Johannes Nyberg. Transactions with related parties are carrried out on a market basis. For further information,
see the Annual Report 2025 on pages 79 and 99.
Incentive program
Balco Group has a long -term incentive program aimed at the company's senior executives and additional key employees, a total of
approximately 30 employees. The incentive program comprises a maximum of 230,000 warrants in total, which entitles the holder to
subscribe for a maximum of the corresponding number of shares. Balco Group's total cost for the incentive program during the term of
the program is expected to amount to approximately SEK 1 million. The program entails a dilution corresponding to approxim ately 1
percent of the company's total number of shares. The senior executives of Balco have acquired 60,000 warrants amounting to a total
value of SEK 248,400. The purpose of the incentive programs is to encourage broad share ownership among Balco Group's employees,
facilitate recruitment, retain competent employees and increase motivation to achieve or exceed the company's financial targets. For more
information, see the Annual Report 2025 on pages 45, 78 and 113.
Risks and uncertainties
The Group and the Parent Company are exposed to various types of risks through their operations. The risks can be divided into industry-
and market-related risks, business-related risks, financial risks, regulatory risks and sustainability risks. Industry - and market-related risks
include, among other things, changes in demand as a result of a weaker economy or other macroeconomic changes, changed prices for
raw materials that are central to Balco Group's production, and changes in competition or price pressure. Business-related risks include
Balco Group's ability to develop and sell new innovative products and solutions, that the Group is able to attract and retain qualified
employees, and that Balco Group's profitability is dependent on the results of the individual projects, i .e. the Group's ability to predict,
calculate and deliver the projects within set financial frameworks. The financial risks are summarized under currency risk, f inancing and
liquidity risk, credit risk and interest rate risk. Regulatory risks include, among other things, the impact of political decisions on the business,
changes in accounting standards, as well as disputes and legal uncertanties. Sustainability-related risks include, for example, changes in
the surrounding world and the company's climate impact. Balco Group's risks and uncertainties are described on pages 31–36, 42, 51, 59,
87–88, 91 and 94 of the Annual Report for 2025.
Outlook
Balco Group is one of the few complete balcony suppliers on the market that provides customized and innovative balcony solutions on a
turnkey contract. Balco Group is the market leader in the Nordic region and has a challenger position in the other markets where the
Group operates. The market is fragmented and growing throughout Northern Europe. The value of the balcony market in the count ries
where Balco Group is represented is estimated at just over SEK 40 billion.
Our assessment is that the trend of an incipient recovery in the renovation market will continue, however, the geopolitical turmoil and
its impact on material prices may have an inhibiting effect. The recovery in the new build segment is expected to take longer.
The profitability of Balco Group is still not satisfactory, which is why new cost-cutting programs are being implemented. The Board of
Directors and management continuously evaluate the company's financial situation against future earnings capacity and cash flow. A
waiver has been obtained until mid-year with temporarily higher covenants.
Events during the quarter and after the end of the quarter
Viktor Arvidsson, new CFO of Balco Group, and Jani Backlund, new CEO of Riikku Rakenteet Oy, have taken up their positions during the
quarter.

Alternative performance measures
This interim report contains references to several performance measures. Some of these measures are defined in IFRS, while ot hers are
alternative measures and are not reported in accordance with applicable financial reporting frameworks or other legislation. The measures
are used by Balco to help both investors and management to analyze its operations. The measures used in this interim report a re de-
scribed below, together with definitions and the reason for their use.
Alternative KPIs Definition Purpose
Return on equity Profit for the period divided by average equity
attributable to the parent company's
shareholders. The average is calculated as the
average of the opening balance and the
closing balance for each period.
The measure shows the return generated on the
shareholders' capital invested in the company.
Return on capital employed Adjusted operating profit (EBITA) divided by
average capital employed. The average is
calculated as the average of the opening
balance and the closing balance for each
period.
The measure shows the return generated on
capital employed and is used by Balco to track the
profitability of the business as the measure refers
to capital efficiency.
Return on capital employed
excluding goodwill
Adjusted operating profit (EBITA) divided by
average capital employed excluding goodwill.
The average is calculated as the average of the
opening balance and the closing balance for
each period.
Balco believes that return on capital employed
excluding goodwill, together with return on
employment, shows an overall picture of Balco's
capital efficiency.
Gross profit Net sales less production and project costs. Shows efficiency in Balco's operations and
together with EBIT provides an overall picture of
the ongoing profit generation and cost picture.
Gross margin Gross profit as a percentage of net sales. Key figures are used for the analysis of efficiency
and value creation.
EBITDA Profit before interest, tax, depreciation and
amortization.
Balco believes that EBITDA is a useful measure to
show the profit generated in operating activities
and a good measure of cash flow from operating
activities.
Interest-bearing net debt in
relation to adjusted EBITDA
Interest-bearing external net debt as a share
of adjusted EBITDA.
Balco believes that this measure is helpful in
demonstrating financial risk and that it is a useful
measure for monitoring the company's level of
debt.
Adjusted EBITDA EBITDA adjusted for items affecting
comparability. For a reconciliation of adjusted
EBITDA with profit for the period.
Balco believes that adjusted EBITDA is a useful
measure to show the profit generated in operating
activities adjusted for items affecting
comparability and primarily uses adjusted EBITDA
when calculating the company's operating cash
flow and cash conversion.
Adjusted EBITDA margin Adjusted EBITDA as a share of net sales. Balco believes that the adjusted EBITDA margin is
a useful measure to show the profit generated in
operating activities.
Adjusted operating margin (EBIT) Adjusted operating profit (EBIT) as a share of
net sales.
Balco believes that adjusted operating margin
(EBIT) is a useful measure to show the profit
generated in operating activities after adjusting
for non-recurring items.
Adjusted operating profit (EBIT) Operating profit (EBIT) adjusted for items
affecting comparability. For a reconciliation of
adjusted operating profit (EBIT) with profit for
the period.
Balco therefore considers adjusted operating
profit (EBIT) to be a useful measure to show the
result generated in operating activities and
primarily uses the measure to calculate return on
capital employed (see above).
Adjusted operating margin
(EBITA)
Adjusted operating profit (EBITA) as a share of
net sales.
Balco believes that adjusted operating margin
(EBITA) is a useful measure to show the profit
generated in operating activities after adjusting
for non-recurring items.
===== SIDA 19 =====

Alternative KPIs Definition Purpose
Adjusted operating profit (EBITA) Operating profit (EBITA) adjusted for items
affecting comparability. For a reconciliation of
adjusted operating profit (EBITA) with profit
for the period.
Balco therefore considers adjusted operating
profit (EBITA) to be a useful measure to show the
profit generated in operating activities and
primarily uses the measure to calculate return on
capital employed (see above).
Items affecting comparability Items affecting comparability are significant
items that are recognized separately due to
their size or frequency, such as restructuring
charges, impairments, divestments and
acquisition costs.
Balco believes that adjustment for items affecting
comparability improves the possibility of
comparison over time by excluding items with
irregularities in frequency or size. This is to provide
a more accurate picture of the underlying
operating profit.
Operating cash conversion Operating cash flow divided by adjusted
EBITDA.
Balco considers this to be a good measure for
comparing cash flow with operating profit.
Operating cash flow Adjusted EBITDA increased/decreased with
changes in working capital and decreased with
investments, excluding expansion
investments.
Balco uses operating cash flow to track the
development of the business.
Organic growth Net sales excluding acquired growth in the
current period divided by net sales in the
corresponding period last year.
Organic growth excludes the effects of changes in
the Group's structure, which enables a comparison
of net sales over time.
Interest-bearing net debt Total long - and short -term interest -bearing
liabilities reduced by cash and cash
equivalents and interest-bearing receivables.
Balco believes that net debt is a useful measure to
show the Group's total debt financing.
Working capital Current assets, excluding cash and cash
equivalents and current tax assets, reduced by
interest-free current liabilities, excluding
current tax liabilities.
This measure shows how much working capital is
tied up in the business and can be put in relation
to turnover to understand how effectively tied up
working capital is used.
Operating margin (EBIT) Operating profit (EBIT) as a share of net sales. Balco believes that operating margin (EBIT)
together with sales growth and adjusted working
capital is a useful measure to track value creation
in the business.
Operating profit (EBIT) Earnings before interest and tax. Balco believes that operating profit (EBIT) is a
useful metric to show the profit generated in
operating activities.
Operating margin (EBITA) Operating profit (EBITA) as a share of net sales. Balco believes that operating margin (EBITA)
together with sales growth and adjusted working
capital is a useful measure to track value creation
in the business.
Operating profit (EBITA) Operating profit (EBIT), excluding depreciation
and amortization of acquired intangible non -
current assets.
Balco's growth strategy includes acquisitions of
companies. In order to better illustrate the
development of the underlying business,
management has chosen to follow EBITA, which is
an expression of operating profit before
depreciation and amortization of acquired
intangible assets.
Equity ratio Equity divided by total assets. Balco believes that the equity ratio is a useful
measure for the company's survival.
Capital employed Equity increased with interest -bearing net
debt.
Capital employed is used by Balco as a measure of
the Group's overall capital efficiency.
Capital employed excluding
goodwill
Capital employed minus goodwill. Capital employed, excluding goodwill, is used
together with capital employed by Balco as a
measure of the company's capital efficiency.
