FINANCIAL INFORMATIONSUSTAINABILITYTHE GROUPINTRODUCTION 70 ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOULE DIAGNOSTICS AB (PUBL) Notes NOTE 1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 1 General information Boule Diagnostics AB, corporate ID 556535-0252, is a Swedish-registered limited liability company headquartered in Stockholm. The address of the headquarters is Fagerstagatan 7 , 163 53 Spånga, Sweden. 2 Compliance with standards and laws The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as adopted by the EU. In addition, the Swedish Council for Sustainability and Financial Reporting’s recommendation RFR 1, “Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups,” has been applied. The parent company applies the same accounting policies as the Group, except in the cases specified below in the section “The parent company’s accounting policies.” The annual report and consolidated financial statements were approved for publication by the Board of Directors and the CEO on April 10, 2026. 3 Basis for measurement and classification Assets and liabilities are recognized at historical cost, except for financial assets and financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost. 4 Functional currency and reporting currency The parent company’s functional currency is the Swedish krona, which is also the parent company’s presentation currency and the Group’s reporting currency. This means that the financial statements are presented in Swedish kronor (SEK). Unless otherwise stated, all amounts are rounded to the nearest thousand. 5 Judgments and estimates in the financial statements The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assessments. The estimates and assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis. Changes in estimates and assumptions are recognized in the period in which the change is made if the change affects only that period, or in the period in which the change is made and future periods if the change affects both the current period and future periods. Judgments and estimates that have a significant impact on the financial statements and that could result in material adjustments to the financial statements for the following year are described in more detail in Note 29 . 6 Significant accounting policies The notes contain a list of the significant accounting principles applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. These principles have been applied consistently for all years presented, unless otherwise stated. The consolidated financial statements include Boule Diagnostics AB and its subsidiaries. (i) Changes in accounting policies resulting from new or amended IFRS No new or amended standards came into effect in 2025 that had a material impact on the company’s financial position or financial statements. (ii) New IFRSs that have not yet been adopted No new or amended standards, or interpretations of existing standards, to be applied to fiscal years beginning in the coming fiscal year are expected to affect the Group’s or the parent company’s financial reporting. IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements (expected effective date: (January 1, 2027) will require significant adjustments to the Group’s financial reporting, particularly with regard to the structure of the income statement and the disclosures provided in the notes. The Group plans to begin preparations for this transition well in advance of its implementation. 7 Operating segment reporting The Group is engaged in the development, manufacture, and sales of blood analysis products. Starting in the third quarter of 2025, the Group will report its Notes ===== SIDA 71 ===== FINANCIAL INFORMATIONSUSTAINABILITYTHE GROUPINTRODUCTION 71 ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOULE DIAGNOSTICS AB (PUBL) operations in two business segments: Diagnostics and OEM Clinical Diagnostic Solutions. This new segment classification reflects the Group’s current internal management and monitoring practices, in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments. Boule has previously reported segment information by geographic region, but only with respect to net sales. The new segment structure also includes adjusted operating profit (EBIT) and corresponds to the level at which Group management now monitors and evaluates business performance. The segment information does not include assets and liabilities, as these are not monitored or reported internally at the segment level. 8 Consolidation principles and business combinations (i) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are companies over which the parent company exercises a controlling influence. Significant influence refers to the direct or indirect right to shape a company’s financial and operational strategies with the aim of obtaining economic benefits. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition until the date on which control ceases. (ii) Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group receivables and payables, revenue or expenses, and unrealized gains or losses arising from intra-group transactions between Group companies are eliminated in full when preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no need for impairment. 9 Foreign currency (i) Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date. The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environments in which the companies conduct their operations. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date. Exchange rate differences arising from currency translations are recognized in net income for the year. Non-monetary assets and liabilities carried at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at fair value are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing at the time of the fair value measurement. Exchange rate fluctuations related to operating receivables and liabilities are recognized in operating income, while exchange rate fluctuations related to financial receivables and liabilities are recognized in net financial income. (ii) Financial statements of foreign operations Assets and liabilities in foreign operations, including goodwill and other consolidated gains and losses, are translated from the functional currency of the foreign operation to the Group’s reporting currency, the Swedish krona, at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses from foreign operations are translated into Swedish kronor at an average exchange rate that approximates the exchange rates prevailing at the time of each transaction. Translation differences arising from the translation of foreign operations are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate component of equity, known as the translation reserve. 10 Revenue (i) Sales of goods The Group sells instruments and consumables for high- quality and safe blood analysis. Sales of goods are recognized as revenue when control of the goods is transferred, which occurs when risks and rewards pass to the customer in accordance with the applicable terms of delivery. The vast majority of revenue is recognized at the time of shipment. The Group primarily uses the delivery terms EXW, CPT, FCA, and DAP as defined in Incoterms. Extended payment terms are available; in such cases, the payment term is 36 months. The transaction price is therefore adjusted for the effects of significant financing components. The Group’s obligation to repair or replace defective instruments in accordance with standard warranty terms is recognized as a provision. (ii) Performance of professional services Boule sells services in the form of support contracts for the company’s previously sold platforms. Revenue from service contracts is recognized in profit or loss for the period based on the fulfillment of the performance obligation as of the balance sheet date. (iii) Interest income Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. 11 Financial income and expenses Financial income consists of interest income on cash and cash equivalents. Interest income on financial instruments is recognized using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts the estimated future cash inflows and outflows over the Notes ===== SIDA 72 ===== FINANCIAL INFORMATIONSUSTAINABILITYTHE GROUPINTRODUCTION 72 ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOULE DIAGNOSTICS AB (PUBL) expected life of a financial instrument to the carrying amount of the financial asset or liability. The calculation includes all fees paid or received by the contracting parties that form part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs, and all other premiums and discounts. Financial expenses consist of interest expenses on loans, including factoring. Interest expenses are recognized in income using the effective interest method. Foreign exchange gains and losses attributable to assets and liabilities related to financing activities are reported on a net basis. 12 Taxes Income taxes consist of current taxes and deferred taxes. Income taxes are recognized in net income for the year, except when the underlying transaction is recognized in other comprehensive income or in equity, in which case the related tax effect is recognized in other comprehensive income or in equity. Current tax is tax that is due or receivable for the current year. Current tax also includes adjustments to current tax attributable to prior periods. Deferred tax is calculated using the balance sheet method based on temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Temporary differences are not recognized in consolidated goodwill, nor are differences arising from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities that do not constitute business combinations and that, at the time of the transaction, do not affect either reported or taxable income. Furthermore, temporary differences attributable to investments in subsidiaries that are not expected to be reversed in the foreseeable future are also not taken into account. The measurement of deferred taxes is based on how the underlying assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. Deferred taxes are calculated using the tax rates and tax rules that have been enacted or substantively enacted as of the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets related to deductible temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reduced when it is no longer considered probable that they can be utilized. 13 Financial instruments The Group’s financial assets and liabilities consist of the following items: long-term accounts receivable (75–95 percent guaranteed by the Swedish Export Credit Agency, EKN), accounts receivable, short-term accounts receivable (75–95 percent guaranteed by EKN), other current receivables, cash and cash equivalents, long-term interest-bearing liabilities, long-term interest-bearing liabilities (for receivables guaranteed by EKN), current interest-bearing liabilities, current interest-bearing liabilities (for receivables guaranteed by EKN), liabilities under lease agreements, accounts payable, and other current liabilities. (i) Initial recognition Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual terms of the instrument. The purchase and sale of financial assets and liabilities are recognized on the trade date, which is the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial instruments are recognized upon initial recognition at fair value plus, for an asset or financial liability not recognized at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of the financial asset or financial liability, such as fees and commissions. Transaction costs for financial assets and financial liabilities recognized at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in the statement of comprehensive income. (ii) Financial assets – Classification and measurement The Group classifies and measures its financial assets in the category of amortized cost. • Financial assets measured at amortized cost Assets held for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows, where such cash flows consist solely of principal and interest, are measured at amortized cost. The carrying amount of these assets is adjusted for any expected credit losses that have been recognized (see impairment below). Interest income from these financial assets is recognized using the effective interest method and is included in financial income. The Group’s financial assets measured at amortized cost consist of long- term accounts receivable (75–95 percent guaranteed by EKN), long-term non-interest-bearing receivables, accounts receivable, accounts receivable (75–95 percent guaranteed by EKN), other current receivables, and cash equivalents. • Accounts receivable Accounts receivable are amounts owed by customers for goods sold or services rendered in the course of ordinary business operations. Accounts receivable are generally due for payment within 30 days; therefore, all accounts receivable have been classified as current assets. Accounts receivable Notes ===== SIDA 73 ===== FINANCIAL INFORMATIONSUSTAINABILITYTHE GROUPINTRODUCTION 73 ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOULE DIAGNOSTICS AB (PUBL) are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost. The Group holds trade receivables for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows and therefore measures them at subsequent reporting dates at amortized cost using the effective interest method. • Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents, as reported in both the balance sheet and the cash flow statement, include cash on hand and bank deposits. (iii) Derecognition of financial assets Financial assets, or a portion thereof, are derecognized from the balance sheet when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired or been transferred and either (i) the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards associated with ownership, or (ii) the Group does not transfer or retains substantially all the risks and rewards associated with ownership and the Group has not retained control over the asset. A financial asset is derecognized from the statement of financial position when the rights under the contract are realized, expire, or the company loses control over them, with the exception of accounts receivable guaranteed by EKN that have been assigned to the bank or pledged as collateral. Such an account receivable is recognized on the balance sheet until the customer has paid the bank. The bank has a right of recourse against the Group for the portion of the accounts receivable not covered by the EKN guarantee and in the event that EKN does not pay compensation for any customer losses. (iv) Transfer of financial assets The Group uses factoring. Under the agreement, the Group has transferred receivables to a factoring company in exchange for cash; therefore, the receivables cannot be sold or pledged. However, the Group has retained the credit risk and the risk of late payment. The Group therefore continues to report the transferred assets in their entirety on the balance sheet. (v) Financial liabilities – Classification and measurement • Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost The Group’s financial liabilities are measured at fair value upon initial recognition and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities consist of long-term interest-bearing liabilities, long-term interest-bearing liabilities (for receivables guaranteed by EKN), current interest- bearing liabilities, current interest-bearing liabilities (for receivables guaranteed by EKN), accounts payable, and current liabilities. • Accounts payable Accounts payable are financial instruments and represent obligations to pay for goods and services acquired in the course of ordinary business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if they are due within one year; otherwise, they are reported as non-current liabilities. Accounts payable are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method, provided that the amounts involved are material. • Borrowings Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs. Borrowings are subsequently recognized at amortized cost, and any difference between the amount received (net of transaction costs) and the repayment amount is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income over the term of the loan, using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer payment of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (vi) Write-off of financial liabilities Financial liabilities are removed from the balance sheet when the obligations have been settled, canceled, or otherwise terminated. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability (or portion of a financial liability) that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including non- cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. When the terms of a financial liability are renegotiated, rather than being derecognized from the balance sheet, a gain or loss is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. The gain or loss is calculated as the difference between the original contractual cash flows and the modified cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. (vii) Offsetting of financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported at their net amount on the balance sheet only when there is a legal right to offset the recognized amounts and an intention to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legal right must not be contingent on future events, and it must be legally binding on the company and the counterparty both in the ordinary course of business and in the event of suspension of payments, insolvency, or bankruptcy. Notes ===== SIDA 74 ===== FINANCIAL INFORMATIONSUSTAINABILITYTHE GROUPINTRODUCTION 74 ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOULE DIAGNOSTICS AB (PUBL) (viii) Impairment of financial assets The Group estimates the expected future credit losses associated with assets carried at amortized cost. The Group recognizes a credit loss allowance for such expected credit losses at each reporting date. For accounts receivable, the Group applies the simplified approach to credit loss provisions; that is, the provision will correspond to the expected loss over the entire life of the receivable. The Group’s policy is that, even for long-term accounts receivable, the allowance will correspond to the expected loss over the entire life of the receivable. The expected credit loss is based on an individual review and provisions for doubtful accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are written off the balance sheet when they are not expected to be repaid. Signs of this include prolonged payment processes to Boule or to an external party responsible for collecting payments. 14 Tangible fixed assets (i) Owned assets Tangible fixed assets are reported in the consolidated financial statements at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. The cost includes the purchase price and expenses directly attributable to the asset that are necessary to bring it to its location and condition so that it can be used in accordance with the purpose of the acquisition. The accounting policies for impairment are set forth below. Tangible fixed assets consisting of components with different useful lives are treated as separate components of tangible fixed assets. The carrying amount of a tangible fixed asset is derecognized from the statement of financial position upon retirement or disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from the use or retirement/disposal of the asset. A gain or loss arising from the disposal or retirement of an asset is the difference between the selling price and the asset’s carrying amount, less direct selling costs. Gains and losses are recognized as other operating income/expenses. (ii) Additional expenses Additional expenses are added to the cost of the asset only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the entity and the cost can be measured reliably. All other expenses are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. An additional expense is added to the cost if the expense relates to the replacement of identified components or parts thereof. Even in cases where a new component has been created, the cost is added to the acquisition cost. Any unamortized carrying amounts of replaced components, or parts of components, are written off and expensed at the time of replacement. Repairs are expensed as they occur. (iii) Depreciation policies Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s estimated useful life, with the exception of land, which is not depreciated. Leased assets are also depreciated over their estimated useful life or, if shorter, over the term of the lease agreement. The Group uses the component method of depreciation, which means that depreciation is based on the estimated useful lives of the components. The following estimated useful lives are applied: • machinery and other technical equipment: 5 years • furniture, tools, and equipment: 5 years • improvement expenses on another person’s property: 10–15 years Machinery and other technical equipment consist of a small number of components with different useful lives. Depreciation methods, residual values, and useful lives are reviewed at the end of each year. 15 Leasing The Group as a lessee The Group leases real estate, vehicles, machinery, and equipment. The Group determines whether an agreement is, or contains, a lease at the time the agreement is entered into. The Group recognizes, for all leases in which it is the lessee, a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability, with the exception of short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases where the underlying asset is of low value. For these leases, the Group recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense. The lease liability—which is divided into long-term and short-term components—is initially measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments over the estimated lease term. The lease term consists of the non-cancellable period, plus any additional periods specified in the agreement, provided that, as of the commencement date, it is considered reasonably certain that these periods will be utilized. Lease payments are normally discounted using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate, which, in addition to the Group’s credit risk, reflects the lease term, currency, and quality of Notes ===== SIDA 75 ===== FINANCIAL INFORMATIONSUSTAINABILITYTHE GROUPINTRODUCTION 75 ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOULE DIAGNOSTICS AB (PUBL) the underlying asset serving as collateral under each agreement. The lease liability comprises the present value of the following payments over the estimated lease term: • fixed fees, including fees that are essentially fixed • variable lease payments linked to an index or price (“rate”), initially measured using the index or price (“rate”) in effect on the commencement date The carrying amount of the liability is increased by the interest expense for the respective period and reduced by the lease payments. Interest expense is calculated as the value of the liability multiplied by the discount rate. The lease liability for the Group’s premises with rent that is index-adjusted is calculated based on the rent in effect at the end of each reporting period. At this point, the liability is adjusted by the corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset. Similarly, the value of the liability and the asset is adjusted when the lease term is reassessed. This occurs when the final termination date within the previously estimated lease term for a lease of premises has passed, or when significant events occur or circumstances change significantly in a manner that is within the Group’s control and affects the current assessment of the lease term. The right-of-use asset consists of the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made on or before the commencement date, and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Assets held under a right-of-use lease are depreciated on a straight-line basis from the commencement date until the earlier of the end of the useful life or the end of the lease term. The Group applies IAS 36 Impairment of Assets to determine whether there is an impairment loss on the right-of-use asset and recognizes any identified impairment losses as described in the section on tangible fixed assets. 16 Intangible assets (i) Goodwill Goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated im- pairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually by calculating its value in use. The assumptions used in the calculations are disclosed in Note 11. (ii) Research and development Expenses for research aimed at acquiring new scientific or technical knowledge are expensed as incurred. Development expenses, where research results or other knowledge are applied to create new or improved products or processes, are recognized as an asset in the statement of financial position if the product or process is technically and commercially viable and the company has sufficient resources to complete the development and subsequently use or sell the intangible asset. The carrying amount includes all directly attributable expenses, such as those for materials and services, employee compensation, registration of legal rights, and depreciation of patents and licenses. Other development expenses are recognized as an expense in net income for the year as they are incurred. In the statement of financial position, development costs are reported at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Any need for impairment is assessed at least once a year in connection with the annual financial statements by calculating the value in use. The assumptions used in the calculations are disclosed in Note 11. The decision on whether a development project should be capitalized is made by Boule’s project council, which assesses whether it is eligible for capitalization under current accounting rules. The assessment is based on the feasibility of carrying out the project using existing and future resources, as well as the expectation that the project will be completed and launched in the foreseeable future. Development costs are capitalized solely at the Group level and not at the legal entity level. (iii) Additional expenses Additional expenses on capitalized intangible assets are recognized as an asset in the statement of financial position only to the extent that they increase the future economic benefits of the specific asset to which they relate. All other expenses are expensed as they are incurred. (iv) Interest expense The company has no capitalized borrowing costs. (v) Depreciation policies Depreciation, which is recognized under “Cost of Goods Sold,” is recognized in net income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, unless such useful lives are indefinite. The useful lives are reviewed at least once a year. Goodwill and other intangible assets with an indefinite useful life or that are not yet ready for use, such as development projects, are tested for impairment annually and whenever there are indications that the asset in question has decreased in value. Intangible assets with determinable useful lives are amortized from the date they are available for use. The estimated useful lives are: • Capital expenditures over a 5–10-year period 17 Inventory Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventory is calculated using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method and includes expenses incurred in Notes ===== SIDA 76 ===== FINANCIAL INFORMATIONSUSTAINABILITYTHE GROUPINTRODUCTION 76 ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOULE DIAGNOSTICS AB (PUBL) acquiring the inventory items and transporting them to their current location and condition. For finished goods and work in progress, the cost includes a reasonable portion of indirect costs based on normal capacity. The net selling price consists of the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete the asset and to effect a sale. Inventory consists of the following categories: Raw materials and supplies, work in progress, finished goods, and merchandise. Production is primarily based on orders and forecasts that are updated monthly, which means that obsolescence is negligible for finished goods inventory. If components are replaced, the remaining inventory is written down at the time of replacement. Obsolete inventory of spare parts is assessed on a quarterly basis by analyzing inventory turnover. 18 Impairment losses The Group’s reported assets are assessed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. (i) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets If there is an indication that an asset may be impaired, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill, other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, and intangible assets not yet ready for use, the recoverable amount is assessed annually, regardless of whether there is any indication of impairment. If it is not possible to determine substantially independent cash flows for an individual asset, and its fair value less costs to sell cannot be used, the assets are grouped for impairment testing at the lowest level at which substantially independent cash flows can be identified—a so-called cash-generating unit. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit (or group of units) exceeds its recoverable amount. The impairment loss is recognized as an expense in net income for the year. When an impairment loss is identified for a cash- generating unit or a group of units, the impairment loss is allocated primarily to goodwill. Subsequently, a proportional impairment is made of the other assets included in the unit or, if applicable, the group of units. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. When calculating the value in use, future cash flows are discounted using a discount rate that takes into account the risk-free interest rate and the risk associated with the specific asset. (ii) Impairment of financial assets Impairment of financial instruments is described in Accounting Policy 13, Financial instruments. (iii) Reversal of impairment losses An impairment loss recognized for assets within the scope of IAS 36 is reversed if there is an indication that the impairment no longer exists and there has been a change in the assumptions used to calculate the recoverable amount. However, goodwill impairments are never reversed. A reversal is recognized only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount after the reversal does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been recognized—net of depreciation, where applicable—if no impairment loss had been recognized. Impairment losses on loan receivables and accounts receivable carried at amortized cost are reversed if the reasons for the impairment no longer exist and full payment from the customer is expected to be received. 19 Earnings per share Earnings per share are calculated based on the Group’s profit for the year attributable to the parent company’s owners and on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. When calculating diluted earnings per share, earnings and the average number of shares are adjusted to account for the effects of dilutive potential common shares, such as stock options. Dilution from stock options affects the number of shares and occurs only when the exercise price is lower than the market price. 20 Employee compensation (i) Defined-contribution pension plans Defined-contribution pension plans are defined as plans in which the company’s obligation is limited to the contributions the company has agreed to pay. In such cases, the size of the employee’s pension depends on the contributions the company pays into the plan or to an insurance company and the return on investment generated by those contributions. Consequently, it is the employee who bears the risk that the benefits will be lower than expected, as well as the investment risk—that is, the risk that the invested assets will be insufficient to provide the expected benefits. The company’s obligations regarding contributions to defined-contribution plans are recognized as an expense in net income for the year as they vest, based on the services employees have rendered to the company over a period of time. (ii) Defined-benefit pension plans The Group has no defined-benefit pension plans, except for multi-employer plans, which are, however, accounted for as defined-contribution pension plans in accordance Notes ===== SIDA 77 ===== FINANCIAL INFORMATIONSUSTAINABILITYTHE GROUPINTRODUCTION 77 ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOULE DIAGNOSTICS AB (PUBL) with IAS 19 due to the lack of information necessary to calculate the defined-benefit obligation. (iii) Equity-based compensation In certain jurisdictions, the Group has offered stock option plans to employees. Participants pay a premium per option calculated using the Black-Scholes model by an independent institution. Since the employees paid the market value for the warrants, there is no compensation to be expensed. Option premiums received are recognized as an increase in equity. (iv) Severance pay The cost of severance payments in connection with employee terminations is recognized only if the company is committed, without any realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal, detailed plan to terminate an employment relationship before the normal date of termination. When severance payments are offered as an incentive for voluntary resignation, an expense is recognized if it is probable that the offer will be accepted and the number of employees who will accept the offer can be reliably estimated. (v) Current compensation Short-term employee benefits are calculated on an undiscounted basis and recognized as an expense when the related services are rendered. A provision is recognized for the expected cost of bonus payments when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to make such payments as a result of services rendered by employees and the obligation can be reliably estimated. 21 Provisions A provision differs from other liabilities in that there is uncertainty regarding the timing of payment or the amount required to settle the provision. A provision is recognized in the statement of financial position when there is an existing legal or constructive obligation arising from a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are recognized in an amount that represents the best estimate of what will be required to settle the existing obligation as of the balance sheet date. Where the timing of payments is significant, provisions are calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax interest rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where applicable, the risks associated with the liability. (i) Warranties A provision for warranties is recognized when the underlying products are sold. The provision is based on historical data regarding warranties and a weighted assessment of possible outcomes in relation to the probabilities associated with those outcomes. 22 Contingent liabilities A contingent liability is recognized when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which is confirmed only by one or more uncertain future events, or when there is an obligation that is not recognized as a liability or provision because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required. 23 The parent company’s accounting policies The parent company has prepared its annual report in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554) and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board’s recommendation RFR 2, “Accounting for Legal Entities.” Statements issued by the Financial Reporting Council that apply to listed companies are also applied. RFR 2 requires the parent company to apply all IFRS standards and pronouncements adopted by the EU in the annual report of the legal entity, to the extent possible within the framework of the Annual Accounts Act, the Security Act, and taking into account the relationship between accounting and taxation. The recommendation specifies which deviations from and additions to IFRS should be made. (i) Differences between the Group’s and the parent company’s accounting policies The differences between the Group’s and the parent company’s accounting policies are set out below. The accounting policies for the parent company set forth below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the parent company’s financial statements. (ii) Classification and presentation formats The parent company presents an income statement and a statement of other comprehensive income; for the Group, these two statements together constitute a statement of comprehensive income. Furthermore, for the parent company, the terms “balance sheet” and “cash flow statement” are used for the reports that are titled “statement of financial position” and “statement of cash flows,” respectively, within the Group. The income statement and balance sheet for the parent company are presented in accordance with the formats specified in the Annual Accounts Act, while the statement of other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity, and the cash flow statement are based on IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows, respectively. The differences between the parent company’s income statement and balance sheet and the Group’s financial statements primarily relate to the Notes ===== SIDA 78 ===== FINANCIAL INFORMATIONSUSTAINABILITYTHE GROUPINTRODUCTION 78 ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOULE DIAGNOSTICS AB (PUBL) recognition of financial income and expenses, fixed assets, equity, and the inclusion of provisions as a separate line item on the balance sheet. (iii) Subsidiaries Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for in the parent company using the cost method. This means that transaction costs are included in the carrying amount of investments in subsidiaries. In the consolidated financial statements, transaction costs are recognized directly in income as they are incurred. (iv) Group contributions and shareholder contributions The parent company reports both group contributions received and paid as appropriations. Shareholder contributions received are recognized as an increase in the value of shares and participations. An assessment is then made as to whether there is a need to write down the value of the shares and participations in question. (v) Financial instruments and hedge accounting Due to the connection between accounting and taxation, the rules regarding financial instruments and hedge accounting in IFRS 9 are not applied in the parent company as a legal entity, except for the impairment rules contained in the standard. The need for impairment is assessed at each balance sheet date. Impairment losses for interest-bearing financial assets carried at amortized cost are calculated as the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated discounted cash flows. The asset loss allowance is based on assumptions regarding defaults and expected loss levels derived from historical data and forward-looking estimates. In the parent company, financial fixed assets are valued at cost less any impairment, and financial current assets are valued according to the lower-of-cost-or-market principle. The carrying amount of interest-bearing instruments is adjusted for the accrued difference between the amount originally paid, net of transaction costs, and the amount payable at maturity (premium or discount). (vi) Leased assets The parent company accounts for all leases in accordance with the rules for operating leases. (vii) Interest expense In the parent company, interest expenses are charged to income in the period to which they relate. No interest expenses are capitalized on assets. NOTE 2: NET REVENUE, INCLUDING OPERATING SEGMENTS Boule develops, manufactures, and sells complete blood cell counting systems for use in hematology. The systems are sold in both the human and veterinary markets, with sales conducted through distributors in more than 100 countries, as well as directly by the company in Sweden and the United States. The Group’s internal organization is based on a functional structure, with the primary functions being production, marketing and sales, administration, and research and development. Based on the Group’s integrated operations regarding product development, manufacturing, and sales of instruments, reagents, and controls, the Group is defined as a single cash-generating unit, as all constituent business units are integrated and interdependent. Boule’s highest executive body, which is the company’s Board of Directors, monitors the Group’s overall earnings and balance sheet. Starting in the third quarter of 2025, the Group will report its operations in two business segments: Diagnostics and OEM Clinical Diagnostic Solutions. This new segment classification reflects the Group’s current internal management and monitoring practices, in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments. Boule has previously reported segment information by geographic region, but only with respect to net sales. The new segment structure also includes adjusted operating profit (EBIT) and corresponds to the level at which Group management now monitors and evaluates business performance. The segment information does not include assets and liabilities, as these are not monitored or reported internally at the segment level.

Notes ===== SIDA 83 ===== FINANCIAL INFORMATIONSUSTAINABILITYTHE GROUPINTRODUCTION 83 ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOULE DIAGNOSTICS AB (PUBL) Compensation for senior executives, as well as terms and conditions regarding termination and severance pay At the 2025 Annual General Meeting, the following guidelines were adopted for determining compensation and other terms of employment for senior executives. Compensation for Group management shall consist of a fixed salary, variable compensation, a pension, and other customary benefits, as well as the opportunity to participate in long-term incentive programs. The fixed salary shall be competitive. Variable compensation is based on performance relative to pre-set targets, including both individual and company-wide goals. Individual performance is evaluated on an ongoing basis. The CEO’s variable compensation is capped at 100 percent of the fixed salary. For other senior executives, variable compensation is capped at between 34 percent and 100 percent of the fixed salary. The Board may deviate from the proposed guidelines if there are special circumstances in individual cases. Senior executives are entitled to a pension. Pension contributions may not exceed a total of 28 percent of the CEO’s fixed salary and a total of 31 percent of the fixed salary for other senior executives. The pension contribution for U.S. employees amounts to approximately four percent of their fixed monthly salary. Under the terms of his employment contract, the CEO of the parent company is subject to a mutual notice period of six months. If the employment is terminated by the company, the CEO may be entitled to severance pay equivalent to a maximum of nine months’ salary in addition to compensation during the notice period. Other senior executives have mutual notice periods of no more than six months. Loans to senior executives There are no loans to senior executives within the Boule Group. Share-based compensation The company has no outstanding stock or option plans. Defined-contribution pension plans For salaried employees in Sweden, the defined-benefit pension commitments under the ITP 2 plan for old-age and family pensions (or family pensions) are secured through an insurance policy with Alecta. For the majority of accrued pension benefits, Alecta lacks information regarding the breakdown of accruals by employer. Instead, the entire vesting period is recorded under the last employer. Alecta is therefore unable to allocate assets and provisions precisely to each employer; consequently, the conditions for reporting ITP 2 in Alecta as a defined- benefit plan are not met, and it is treated as a defined- contribution plan. Furthermore, there is no clearly defined set of rules regarding how any surpluses or deficits that may arise should be handled. The benefit amount for the defined-benefit retirement and family pension is calculated on an individual basis and depends, among other things, on salary, previously accrued pension, and expected remaining years of service. The expected premiums for the next reporting period—that is, the full year 2026—for the ITP 2 insurance policy held with Alecta amount to SEK 2.5 million (2.5). The Group’s share of total ITP 2 savings premiums at Alecta and the Group’s share of the total number of active policyholders in ITP 2 amount to 0.02 percent and 0.01 percent, respectively (0.02 percent and 0.01 percent, respectively). The collective consolidation ratio is calculated as the market value of Alecta’s assets as a percentage of its insurance liabilities, calculated in accordance with Alecta’s actuarial methods and assumptions, which do not comply with IAS 19 . The collective consolidation level should normally be allowed to vary between 125 and 175 percent. If Alecta’s collective consolidation ratio falls below 125 percent or exceeds 175 percent, measures must be taken to ensure that the consolidation ratio returns to the normal range. In the event of low retention rates, one possible measure is to raise the agreed price for new subscriptions and upgrades to existing plans. In cases of high consolidation, one possible measure is to introduce premium reductions. At the end of 2025, Alecta’s surplus, measured by the collective consolidation level, stood at 167 percent (162). Premiums paid to Alecta are determined based on assumptions regarding interest rates, life expectancy, operating costs, and investment income tax, and are calculated so that the payment of a constant premium until retirement is sufficient to cover the entire target benefit, which is based on the insured person’s current pensionable salary at the time the benefit is to be earned. There is no established framework for how any deficits that may arise should be handled, but losses are primarily covered by Alecta’s collective consolidation capital and therefore do not lead to increased costs through higher agreed premiums. There are also no regulations governing how any surpluses or deficits are to be distributed upon the termination of the plan or a company’s withdrawal from the plan.

The company continues to have significant unused tax losses, and in light of its profitability in 2025 and its updated multi-year forecasts, it is assessed that these losses will most likely be able to be utilized against future taxable profits. The assessment is based on the expectation of continued profitable operations and assumed margin levels in line with the company’s strategic plan. There is therefore no indication that the conditions for utilizing the deficits have deteriorated. The company therefore believes it is appropriate to retain the reported deferred tax asset on the balance sheet.

These calculations are based on estimated future cash flows after taxes derived from financial budgets approved by management and covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using the estimated growth rate specified below. The Group, KSEK 2024 2025 Long-term growth rate 2% 2% After-tax discount rate 13% 12% Revenue growth (1–5 years), CAGR 6% 4% Cost developments (1–5 years), CAGR 5% 3% Impairment testing for internally developed intangible assets To determine whether an impairment loss is necessary, the value of these assets is tested once a year, and on additional occasions if there are indications of an impairment loss. The test is conducted by calculating the present value of the future economic benefits of the instrument generation and comparing them to the intangible assets. Depreciation of intangible assets begins when the product goes on sale. Future cash flow is based on estimated sales during the first ten years following launch, with an average growth rate that significantly exceeds the Group’s average growth rate of 12 percent, and the present value is calculated using a WACC of 12 percent. Internally developed intangible assets amounted to SEK 5.1 million (7 .5) at the end of the year. These primarily relate to development costs for the further development of 3-part instruments. In the previous year, impairments of SEK 357 .2 million were recognized on the BM900/950 5-part instrument. The company estimates that future economic benefits will not be less than the remaining carrying amount of SEK 5.1 million for intangible assets as of December 31, 2025.

INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES The fair value of financial liabilities that are not derivative instruments is calculated based on future cash flows of principal amount and interest discounted at the current market interest rate as of the balance sheet date. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ACCOUNTS PAYABLE For accounts receivable and accounts payable with a remaining maturity of less than six months, the carrying amount is considered to reflect fair value. Accounts receivable and accounts payable with a maturity of more than six months are discounted when determining fair value. The carrying amount of accounts receivable and long-term interest-bearing receivables includes receivables guaranteed by EKN (the Swedish Export Credit Agency). Under the agreement with the bank, Boule has transferred receivables in exchange for cash; therefore, the receivables cannot be sold or pledged. However, Boule has retained the ultimate credit risk and the risk of late payment. The Group therefore continues to report the transferred assets in their entirety on the balance sheet. The amount received under the agreement with the bank is reported as secured borrowing. INTEREST RATES USED TO DETERMINE FAIR VALUE Boule uses the Stibor (Stockholm Interbank Offered Rate) reference rate as of December 31, plus an appropriate interest rate spread, when discounting financial instruments. The fair value of the Group’s financial instruments corresponds to their carrying amount, as the discounting effect is not considered to be material. All of the Group’s financial instruments are classified as Level 3 under the applicable standard (see definition of levels below), and fair value is determined by calculating discounted cash flows. Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in an active market (such as listed derivatives, financial instruments held for trading, and available-for-sale assets) is based on quoted market prices as of the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used for the Group’s financial assets is the current bid price. Level 2: The fair value of financial assets that are not traded in an active market (e.g., OTC derivatives) is determined using measurement techniques that rely as much as possible on market information, while company-specific information is used as little as possible. All key inputs required for the fair value measurement of an instrument are observable. Level 3: In cases where one or more key inputs are not based on observable market information. This applies, for example, to unlisted instruments. NOTE 26 FINANCIAL RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT Boule is exposed to various types of financial risks through its operations, including market risks (which encompass currency risks and interest rate risks), credit risks, financing risks, and liquidity risks. The Group has a financial policy established by the Board of Directors that provides a framework of guidelines in the form of risk mandates and limits for financial operations. Operationally, the Group’s finance function manages the Group’s financial transactions and risks. The overall objective is to provide cost-effective financing and to minimize the negative impact on the Group’s earnings and financial position arising from market risk. LIQUIDITY RISK Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Group may encounter difficulties in meeting its financial obligations on time. A liquidity plan is in place to manage the Group’s liquidity risk and financing costs. The 24-month liquidity forecast is updated monthly. Long-term liquidity needs are addressed in the strategic plan. It is updated at least once a year to ensure that the liquidity requirements of the strategic plan can be met. The goal is for the Group to be able to meet its financial obligations in both good times and bad without incurring significant unforeseen costs and without jeopardizing Boule’s reputation. The Group’s policy is to minimize its borrowing requirements by utilizing excess liquidity within the Group. The Group’s finance department manages liquidity risks for the entire Group.

Access to additional financing is influenced by a number of factors, including market conditions, the general availability of credit, and the Group’s creditworthiness. Furthermore, access to additional financing depends on the company’s customers, shareholders, lenders, and the market in general not forming a negative view of the Group’s long- and short- term financial outlook. There is no guarantee that such capital can be raised on terms favorable to Boule. If the Group fails to raise the necessary capital in the future, its ability to continue as a going concern could be adversely affected. The company actively manages its liquidity and tailors its marketing and development initiatives to the available liquidity. Negative changes in funding can delay development work and affect the launch of new products. INTEREST RATE RISK Interest rate risk is the risk that the net interest income will fluctuate and/or decline due to changes in market interest rates. The Group’s net interest income is largely dependent on developments in the Swedish market. Interest-bearing liabilities consist primarily of debt related to factoring of accounts receivable (guaranteed by EKN) and loans. According to the financial policy, the objective is for interest rates on the long-term debt portfolio to be fixed; however, when interest rates are high, variable interest rates may be used until interest rates improve. Loans should normally be taken in local currency; however, if this is not the case, the loan must be hedged at the time the loan is taken out to eliminate currency risk. No currency hedging has been undertaken for this purpose, as the foreign- currency loans are small. Boule does not currently use currency forwards but may consider this option in the future. SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS – INTEREST RATE RISK If interest rates had been 100 basis points higher during the year, all other things being equal, net interest income and equity would have been reduced by KSEK -1,800 (-1,601) before tax. CURRENCY RISK The Group is exposed to currency risk in the form of transaction exposure and translation exposure. Transaction exposure refers to the exposure to currency risk that arises in connection with receipts and payments in foreign currency. Translation exposure refers to the exposure to currency risk that arises when translating the assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, as well as when translating receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. The primary exposure to currency risk stems from the translation of the subsidiary in the United States (translation exposure). The Group’s currency exposure is moderate, as most of its revenue is denominated in USD, while the Swedish operations’ costs are primarily in SEK. The Group’s results for the year include foreign exchange differences in operating profit and net financial items; see Notes 5, 6, 9 , 11, and 12 for further details. TRANSLATION EXPOSURE If the Swedish krona had weakened or strengthened by 10 percent against the U.S. dollar, all other things being equal, the restated profit after tax as of December 31, 2025, would have been KSEK 17 ,110 (20,779) lower/higher. This is largely due to the translation of accounts receivable denominated in USD. If the Swedish krona had weakened/ strengthened by 10 percent against the euro, all other things being equal, the restated profit after tax as of December 31, 2025, would have been KSEK 2,095 (1,614) lower/higher. This is largely due to the translation of accounts receivable in EUR. 12/31/2024 12/31/2025 The Group, KSEK USD EUR USD EUR Cash and cash equivalents 16,529 5,478 17 ,525 489 Accounts receivable 199 ,331 14,303 143,126 12,066 Accounts payable 9 ,131 1,907 7,0 3 2 1,135 CREDIT RISK The Group’s operations may give rise to credit risks. Credit risk refers to the risk of loss if the counterparty is unable to meet its obligations. Overall, Boule’s credit risk is assessed as low. The maximum credit risk corresponds to the carrying amount of the financial assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to accounts receivable. Under normal circumstances, a new customer is not granted credit but is required to pay in advance for a certain period. The Group’s accounts receivable are spread across a large number of counterparties and several geographic markets. The Group has established guidelines to ensure that sales are made only to customers with adequate creditworthiness. Below is a table showing the Group’s past-due accounts receivable, with the allowance for credit losses itemized.

To manage the Group’s exposure to financing and credit risk in connection with such a transaction, an application is submitted to the Swedish Export Credit Agency for the issuance of an export credit guarantee covering potential credit losses. This means that the Group can access cash flows more quickly and minimize the risk associated with the credits it has issued. As of December 31, 2025, through the Swedish Export Credit Agency, KSEK 98,043 (132,422) of the receivables are insured at 75–95 percent against the risk that the receivable will not be paid.

The objective is to manage and control the financial risks to which the Group is exposed. Surplus liquidity is invested to achieve the highest possible return, and financing is obtained at the lowest possible cost, within the framework established by the financial policy. The Group shall maintain sufficient financial resources to ensure that adequate credit facilities are available at all times. This also includes a requirement for an equity ratio—based on reported equity—at an acceptable level in order to obtain loans with reasonable interest rates. The Group’s operations are managed to ensure that there are always sufficient cash and cash equivalents available to fund the activities outlined in the plan for the coming 12-month period.

KEY ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS FOR ACCOUNTING PURPOSES The sources of estimation uncertainty listed below refer to those that pose a risk that the value of assets or liabilities may need to be adjusted during the coming fiscal year. TESTING FOR IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL Each year, the Boule Group assesses whether there is any need to record an impairment loss on goodwill, in accordance with the accounting policy described in Note 1. The recoverable amounts for the cash-generating unit have been determined by calculating its value in use. In order to perform these calculations, several assumptions regarding future conditions and estimates of parameters have been made; these estimates are described in Note 11. Boule has performed a sensitivity analysis of the key assumptions used in the impairment test. Management has determined that reasonable changes in assumptions do not give rise to any impairment as of December 31, 2025. TESTING FOR IMPAIRMENT OF CAPITALIZED DEVELOPMENT COSTS At the Group level, Boule capitalizes development costs related to new products at its subsidiaries Boule Medical AB and Clinical Diagnostic Solutions Inc. This was done during the periods 2009–2015 and 2017–2024. In calculating the recoverable amount of cash-generating units for the purpose of assessing any need for impairment of capitalized development costs, several assumptions regarding future conditions and estimates of parameters have been made. For the year 2024, impairment losses totaling SEK 357 .2 million were recognized on capitalized assets; for more information, see Note 11. On March 12, 2025, Boule Diagnostics announced its decision to discontinue the BM950 project due to recently identified technical issues that have significantly impacted the project’s expected time to market and the product’s overall profitability. The termination of the project resulted in an impairment loss on intangible assets of SEK 92 million, which will be recognized in the 2024 financial statements, as the identified technical issues were already present at the end of 2024. According to IAS 10, the asset must be written down in the annual report if such circumstances existed as of the balance sheet date. In 2025, no development costs were capitalized, and management assesses that there is no further need for impairment as of December 31, 2025. MEASUREMENT OF INVENTORY The Group holds inventory in both its Swedish and U.S. subsidiaries. Note 1 explains how inventory is reported and valued. The valuation of inventory is based on management’s assessment and estimates regarding obsolescence and net realizable value, which are based, among other things, on the age of the inventory, inventory turnover, and expected future selling prices. There is no indication that further impairments of inventory will be necessary as of December 31, 2025. MEASUREMENT OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE The Group has accounts receivable in both its Swedish and U.S. subsidiaries. Accounts receivable include both those backed by EKN guarantees and those without such guarantees (see Notes 1, 16, 25, and 26, which describe how these are reported and the associated exposure). Note 26 provides information on the reported amounts and currencies of accounts receivable, loan loss reserve, and the maturity profile. The measurement of accounts receivable is based on management’s assessment. There is no indication that further impairments of accounts receivable will be necessary as of December 31, 2025. Notes ===== SIDA 110 ===== FINANCIAL INFORMATIONSUSTAINABILITYTHE GROUPINTRODUCTION 110 ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOULE DIAGNOSTICS AB (PUBL) UNCERTAINTIES ARISING FROM RUSSIA’S WAR OF AGGRESSION IN UKRAINE For the full year 2025, Boule’s sales in Russia accounted for 6.8 percent of net sales. The company has employees in Russia and a production facility for consumer goods that are distributed to the Russian market. The market in Eastern Europe is highly uncertain given Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine and the sanctions currently in place against Russia, and Boule is closely monitoring developments. Boule’s ability to conduct transactions with Russia and maintain the supply chain for critical components deteriorated in 2024. Against this backdrop, the Board of Directors decided in October 2024 to begin the process of divesting the manufacturing facility in Russia. In light of the unpredictable situation in Russia, the assets in Russia were remeasured during the third quarter of 2024 and written down to zero, which had a negative impact of SEK 33.5 million on the income statement for the full year 2024. In 2025, the book value of assets in Russia was written down to zero, which had an impact of SEK 6.9 million on the income statement for the full year 2025. NOTE 30 EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE On January 21, Boule announced that Boule Diagnostics had renewed and expanded a global supply agreement with a global in vitro diagnostics customer. Once the project is fully implemented, revenue is expected to increase by approximately SEK 5 million starting in 2027 , and the operating margin is expected to be strong.

TORBEN JØRGENSEN Chairman of the Board THOMAS EKLUND Board member YVONNE MÅRTENSSON Board member EMIL HJALMARSSON Board member RIKKE RYTTER Board member TORBEN NIELSEN Chief Executive Officer Audit report Our audit report was submitted on April 10, 2026 Öhrlings PricewaterhouseCoopers AB LARS KYLBERG Certified Public Accountant Lead Auditor PATRIC KRUSE Certified Public Accountant Certification by the Board of Directors Certification by the Board of Directors ===== SIDA 112 ===== FINANCIAL INFORMATIONSUSTAINABILITYTHE GROUPINTRODUCTION 112 ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOULE DIAGNOSTICS AB (PUBL) Audit report To the Annual General Meeting of Boule Diagnostics AB (publ), Corporate ID No. 556535-0252. REPORT ON THE ANNUAL REPORT AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Statements We have audited the annual report and consolidated financial statements of Boule Diagnostics AB (publ) for the year 2025, with the exception of the corporate governance report and the sustainability report on pages 46–50 and 26–35, respectively. The company’s annual report and consolidated financial statements are included on pages 56–111 of this document. In our opinion, the annual report has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the parent company as of December 31, 2025, and its financial performance and cash flows for the year in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and present fairly, in all material respects, the Group’s financial position as of December 31, 2025, and its financial performance and cash flows for the year in accordance with IFRS Reporting Standards, as adopted by the EU, and the Annual Accounts Act. Our statements do not cover the corporate governance report and the sustainability report on pages 46–50 and 26–35, respectively. The management report is consistent with the other sections of the annual report and the consolidated financial statements. We therefore recommend that the Annual General Meeting approve the income statement and balance sheet for the parent company, as well as the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of financial position for the Group. Our statements in this report on the annual report and the consolidated financial statements are consistent with the content of the supplementary report submitted to the parent company’s Audit Committee in accordance with Article 11 of the Audit Regulation (537/2014/EU). Basis for statements We conducted the audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. Our responsibilities under these standards are described in more detail in the section titled “The Auditor’s Responsibilities.” We are independent of the parent company and the Group in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden, and have otherwise fulfilled our professional ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. This means that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, no prohibited services as referred to in Article 5(1) of the Audit Regulation (537/2014/EU) have been provided to the audited company or, where applicable, to its parent company or its controlled entities within the EU. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our statements. OUR AUDIT APPROACH Overview Focus and scope of the audit We planned our audit by determining the materiality level and assessing the risk of material misstatements in the financial statements. We paid particular attention to areas where the CEO and the Board of Directors made subjective judgments, such as significant accounting estimates based on assumptions and forecasts regarding future events, which are inherently uncertain. As with all audits, we have also considered the risk that the Board of Directors and the CEO may have disregarded internal controls, and have, among other things, assessed whether there is evidence of systematic deviations that could give rise to a risk of material misstatements due to irregularities. We tailored our audit to ensure an appropriate examination in order to express an opinion on the financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the company and the Group, their accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Group operates. Audit report ===== SIDA 113 ===== FINANCIAL INFORMATIONSUSTAINABILITYTHE GROUPINTRODUCTION 113 ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOULE DIAGNOSTICS AB (PUBL) Materiality The scope and focus of the audit were influenced by our assessment of materiality. An audit is designed to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements are free from material misstatements. Errors may arise as a result of irregularities or mistakes. They are considered material if, individually or collectively, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions that users make based on the financial statements. Based on professional judgment, we established certain quantitative materiality thresholds, including for the financial reporting as a whole. Based on these factors and qualitative considerations, we determined the focus and scope of the audit, as well as the nature, timing, and extent of our audit procedures, and assessed the effect of individual and aggregate misstatements on the financial statements as a whole. AREAS OF PARTICULAR IMPORTANCE The areas of particular significance for the audit are those that, in our professional judgment, were the most significant for the audit of the annual report and consolidated financial statements for the current period. These matters were addressed as part of our audit of, and in our opinion on, the annual report and consolidated financial statements as a whole; however, we do not issue separate statements on these matters. Area of particular importance How our audit addressed the area of particular importance Measurement and classification of accounts receivable The carrying amount of the Group’s accounts receivable amounts to SEK 195 million, of which SEK 146 million was reported as current assets and SEK 49 million as non-current assets. The total value of this balance sheet item amounts to 38% of the Group’s assets, and both its measurement and classification have a significant impact on the presentation of the Group’s financial statements. Accounts receivable constitute a significant part of the balance sheet and involve estimates and judgments; therefore, they are a key audit matter. The company’s accounting policies in Note 1 describe how accounts receivable are recognized, classified, and measured. Note 16 details the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, and Note 26 includes an aging analysis showing that there are past-due receivables. It also states that some of the receivables are guaranteed by EKN. Note 29, under the heading “Key Accounting Estimates and Assumptions,” describes the company’s assessments in this regard. Our review of accounts receivable includes, among other things, the following: • Reviewed, understood, and assessed the company’s model for writing down receivables. • Reviewed, understood, and assessed the company’s classification of accounts receivable. • The value of accounts receivable has also been reviewed through various forms of detailed testing and through an assessment of the allowance for bad debts. • The existence of accounts receivable has also been verified through various types of detailed tests. • We have challenged the company’s assessment of the value of its accounts receivable. Audit report ===== SIDA 114 ===== FINANCIAL INFORMATIONSUSTAINABILITYTHE GROUPINTRODUCTION 114 ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOULE DIAGNOSTICS AB (PUBL) Area of particular importance How our audit addressed the area of particular importance Measurement and existence of inventory The carrying amount of the Group’s inventory is SEK 59 million. Note 1 explains how the inventory is recognized and measured, and Note 29, under the heading “Key Accounting Estimates and Assumptions,” describes the judgments the company has made. The measurement of the inventory was a key issue in our audit since the assessment of fair value naturally, in part, is based on assessments made by management. Within the Group, two of the Group companies hold inventories that are significant in terms of value. Since inventory is a material account, its existence has been a material issue in our audit. . Our audit procedures regarding the measurement and existence of the inventory include, among other things: • Random audits of purchasing costs and manufacturing cost estimates. • Review and assessment of the need for impairment, based on factors such as inertia, as well as an evaluation of the explanations provided by management. • We have conducted inventory counts at all major warehouse locations. • We have reviewed and assessed the internal control in the inventory process. INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE ANNUAL REPORT AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS This document also contains information other than the annual report and the consolidated financial statements, which can be found on pages 1–45 and page 118. The information contained in the “Remuneration Report 2025,” which is published on the company’s website at the same time as this report, also constitutes other information. The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for this additional information. Our statement regarding the annual report and the consolidated financial statements does not cover this information, and we do not express any assurance statement regarding this other information. In connection with our audit of the annual report and the consolidated financial statements, it is our responsibility to read the information identified above and consider whether the information is materially inconsistent with the annual report and the consolidated financial statements. In this review, we also take into account the other information we have obtained during the audit and assess whether the information appears to contain material misstatements. If, based on the work performed in relation to this information, we conclude that the other information contains a material misstatement, we are required to report this. We have nothing to report in that regard. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation of the annual report and the consolidated financial statements and for ensuring that they present a true and fair view in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and, with regard to the consolidated financial statements, in accordance with IFRS Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU. The Board of Directors and the CEO are also responsible for the internal controls they deem necessary to ensure that the annual report and consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error. Audit report ===== SIDA 115 ===== FINANCIAL INFORMATIONSUSTAINABILITYTHE GROUPINTRODUCTION 115 ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOULE DIAGNOSTICS AB (PUBL) In preparing the annual report and the consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer are responsible for assessing the Company’s and the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. They disclose, where applicable, circumstances that may affect the ability to continue operations and to use the going-concern assumption. However, the going concern assumption does not apply if the Board of Directors and the CEO intend to liquidate the company, cease operations, or have no realistic alternative to doing either of these things. THE AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance that the annual report and the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our statements. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it does not guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden will always detect a material misstatement, if one exists. Misstatements may arise from fraud or errors and are considered material if, individually or collectively, they could reasonably be expected to influence the financial decisions that users make on the basis of the annual report and the consolidated financial statements. A further description of our responsibilities regarding the audit of the annual report and the consolidated financial statements is available on the Swedish Inspectorate of Auditors’ website: www.revisorsinspektionen.se/ revisornsansvar. This description is part of the audit report. REPORT ON OTHER REQUIREMENTS UNDER LAWS AND OTHER REGULATIONS THE AUDITOR’S REVIEW OF THE MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY’S AFFAIRS AND PROPOSAL FOR THE APPROPRIATION OF THE COMPANY’S PROFIT OR LOSS Statements In addition to our audit of the annual report and consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the administration of the Board of Directors and the CEO of Boule Diagnostics AB (publ) for the year 2025, as well as the proposed appropriation of the company’s profit or loss. We recommend that the Annual General Meeting allocate the profit as proposed in the management report and discharge the members of the Board of Directors and the CEO from liability for the fiscal year. Basis for statements We conducted the audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. Our responsibilities under these standards are described in more detail in the section titled “The Auditor’s Responsibilities.” We are independent of the parent company and the Group in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden, and have otherwise fulfilled our professional ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our statements. Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer The Board of Directors is responsible for proposing the allocation of the company’s profits or losses. When proposing a dividend, this includes, among other things, an assessment of whether the dividend is justifiable in light of the requirements that the nature, scope, and risks of the company’s and the Group’s operations place on the level of the parent company’s and the Group’s equity, consolidation needs, liquidity, and overall financial position. The Board of Directors is responsible for the company’s organization and the management of its affairs. This includes, among other things, continuously assessing the financial situation of the company and the Group, and ensuring that the company’s organizational structure is designed in such a way that accounting, asset management, and the company’s other financial affairs are subject to adequate controls. The CEO shall be responsible for the day-to-day management of the company in accordance with the Board’s guidelines and instructions, including taking the measures necessary to ensure that the company’s accounting is conducted in accordance with the law and that the management of funds is handled in a satisfactory manner. The auditor’s responsibility Our objective in auditing the administration, and thus in issuing our statement on discharge from liability, is to obtain audit evidence to assess, with reasonable assurance, whether any member of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer, in any material respect: • has taken any action or been guilty of any negligence that could give rise to a liability to pay compensation to the company, or Audit report ===== SIDA 116 ===== FINANCIAL INFORMATIONSUSTAINABILITYTHE GROUPINTRODUCTION 116 ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOULE DIAGNOSTICS AB (PUBL) • has otherwise acted in violation of the Companies Act, the Annual Accounts Act, or the Articles of Association. Our objective in auditing the proposed appropriation of the company’s profit or loss, and consequently our statement thereon, is to assess with reasonable assurance whether the proposal complies with the Companies Act. Reasonable assurance is a high degree of certainty, but no guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden will always detect actions or omissions that could give rise to liability to the company, or that a proposal for the appropriation of the company’s profit or loss is not in compliance with the Companies Act. Further details regarding our responsibility for the audit of the administration are available on the Swedish Inspectorate of Auditors’ website: www.revisorsinspektionen.se/revisornsansvar. This description is part of the audit report. THE AUDITOR’S REVIEW OF THE ESEF REPORT Statements In addition to our audit of the annual report and consolidated financial statements, we have also reviewed whether the Board of Directors and the CEO have prepared the annual report and consolidated financial statements in a format that enables uniform electronic reporting (the ESEF report) in accordance with Chapter 16, Section 4a of the Securities Market Act (2007:528) for Boule Diagnostics AB (publ) for the year 2025. Our audit and statement pertain solely to the statutory requirement. In our view, the ESEF report has been prepared in a format that, in all material respects, enables uniform electronic reporting. Basis for statements We have conducted the audit in accordance with FAR’s recommendation RevR 18, “The Auditor’s Review of the ESEF Report.” Our responsibilities under this recommendation are described in more detail in the section titled “The Auditor’s Responsibilities.” We are independent of Boule Diagnostics AB (publ) in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden, and have otherwise fulfilled our professional ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our statement. Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for ensuring that the ESEF report has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 16, Section 4a of the Securities Market Act (2007:528), and for ensuring that internal controls are in place that the Board of Directors and the CEO deem necessary to prepare the ESEF report free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error. The auditor’s responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion with reasonable assurance as to whether, in all material respects, the ESEF report has been prepared in a format that complies with the requirements of Chapter 16, Section 4a of the Securities Market Act (2007:528), based on our review. RevR 18 requires that we plan and perform our audit procedures to obtain reasonable assurance that the ESEF report has been prepared in a format that meets these requirements. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it does not guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with RevR 18 and generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden will always detect a material misstatement, if one exists. Misstatements may arise from fraud or errors and are considered material if, individually or collectively, they could reasonably be expected to influence the financial decisions that users make on the basis of the ESEF report. The audit firm applies International Standard on Quality Management 1, which requires the company to design, implement, and maintain a quality management system, including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The review involves taking various steps to gather evidence that the ESEF report has been prepared in a format that enables uniform electronic reporting of the annual report and consolidated financial statements. The auditor selects the procedures to be performed, including by assessing the risks of material misstatements in the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In conducting this risk assessment, the auditor considers those aspects of internal control that are relevant to how the Board of Directors and the CEO prepare the supporting documentation, for the purpose of designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of issuing a statement on the effectiveness of the internal control. The audit also includes an assessment of the appropriateness Audit report ===== SIDA 117 ===== FINANCIAL INFORMATIONSUSTAINABILITYTHE GROUPINTRODUCTION 117 ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOULE DIAGNOSTICS AB (PUBL) and reasonableness of the assumptions made by the Board of Directors and the CEO. The review procedures primarily involve verifying that the ESEF report has been prepared in a valid XHTML format and ensuring that the ESEF report is consistent with the reviewed annual report and consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, the review also includes an assessment of whether the Group’s income statements, balance sheets, statements of changes in equity, cash flow statements, and notes in the ESEF report have been tagged with iXBRL in accordance with the ESEF Regulation.
