Considering that we had a negative calendar effect of approximately -4 percent as a result of the early Easter, we feel satisfied with the development in the various segments. The work to strengthen the profitability has begun to yield results and the adjusted EBITA margin strengthened from 6 percent to 7 percent, where adjusted EBITA increased by 25 percent to SEK 128 million (102). The cash flow from operating activities developed well and amounted to SEK 127 million (102). The change in working capital negatively affected the free cash flow, as a result of strategic investments in inventory before price increases and rising cocoa prices at some of the distribution companies. The gross margin has continued to develop in the right direction and amounted to 31 percent (30). The relative increase was greater, as we did not fully consolidate all the Privab companies during the comparison period, which have a lower gross margin than the rest of the group. Humble has a good momentum and we have a positive view of the development going forward, with a focus on continued expansion and growth. Operations We have a consistent positive development in our business areas and our team is doing an outstanding job of positioning the group for increased growth going forward. Strategic initiatives aimed at expanding market presence and improving product offerings continues to develop and we are excited for the autumn, when we will begin to see the impact of scale-up in the factories as well as the results of the larger product launches that will be rolling out. Within Future Snacking, we have continued to expand internationally, with a strong response from new chains and customers. Our international launch of sugar-reduced sweets has performed better than expected and we are continuously mapping the possibilities for faster expansion. As a result of strong demand, we have had some challenges in producing products at the required pace. It is one of our highest priorities internally to address and we are doing everything we can to ensure a continuous supply of goods. True Gum affected the segment negatively by SEK -18 million, due to high comparative figures from last year, which was exceptionally strong. With several promising product launches and an improved recipe for our chewing gum, we look forward to these initiatives reaching the market. In Quality Nutrition, we have similar challenges to those in the Future Snacking segment. Demand for bars, powders and the upcoming energy drink production is sky high. All the extra capacity that will be available during the year is already pre- booked by external customers and our own brands. Now it's about maximizing the production flow in the factories. The success within the BodyScience brand is particularly noticeable, which is expanding strongly and has quickly taken a market-leading position in Australia. We also recently launched a Swedish innovation in the form of a soft bar, where we have already started manufacturing the products in the group's new bar factory by exporting our recipe knowledge to Australia. The product also won the prize for protein bar of the year 2024 by Nutrition Warehouse in April and the chains appreciate the new innovation on the market. For the Sustainable Care segment, Solent is a locomotive. It is the group's largest company that increased net sales by 14 percent and strengthened profitability by 34 percent. We see a return to growth at several of the premium brands and have a clear trend shift in the form of organic growth and improved margins at the subsidiaries that previously had a tough time. With completed investments and strengthened management, I am convinced that we have laid the foundations for a recovery to previous levels. The distribution segment shows satisfactory growth, but the result is still dragged down by costs related to the integration processes. We are approaching the final phase of consolidating the Privab companies and have now directed our focus to improving the gross margin, through joint purchases and a more efficient pricing strategy. Given that we sell a lot of chocolate confectionery products where we import in USD and EUR, we have had an inventory tie-up that constitutes a significantly higher percentage of the sales increase than normal. With high inventory turnover and seasonally larger quarters ahead, our assessment is that there are good conditions to free up the tied-up capital and thus get down to a lower working capital level relative to turnover. ===== SIDA 4 ===== | SUMMARY Humble Group AB Interim Report January - March 2024 3 Results The quarter marked a significant improvement in our profitability, which is a testament to the strength of our business model. We have not yet received the full benefit of the investments and consequent cost increases that scaling up in the factories has entailed. It is an effect that will be showcased when the extended shift runs are in full use. We have increased our marketing investments, which are thoughtful strategic decisions aimed at promoting growth in the coming years. With the strong product reception from the market that we have, it is important that we continue to invest for long-term returns. The gross margin has strengthened compared to the comparison period, despite a negative consolidation effect of the Privab companies. It remains a high-priority area for the group and there are many improvement measures that remain to be implemented. We still have some accounting technical costs from the IFRS transition that drag down the net financial result, but still generated a profit after tax of SEK 23 million during the first quarter. As these items gradually roll out, our assessment is that we are facing a strong improvement of the KPI going forward. Outlook There is great optimism in the group. We are starting to get through the tough time that the margin pressure of the last two years entailed and we have an operational focus on ensuring the effective implementation of all the strategic initiatives that are underway. The second quarter has started strongly and if we manage to get the increased capacity in the factories and roll out the major product launches that are in the pipeline, we are in for an exciting autumn. The process with changing trading market is proceeding according to plan and we are now well into the process, where it should not be too long before we make the step up to the main market. With the new capital structure in place, amortization of debt and lower interest costs, we see that our room for action to invest in continued growth is increasing. Of course, it is important to be vigilant on future challenges that may arise in a troubled environment, but with the degree of maturity we established during last year's consolidation period, we are better equipped than ever to take on the gigantic market that is out there. Simon Petrén CEO Humble Group Stockholm, May 2, 2024 ===== SIDA 5 ===== | CONSOLIDATED DEVELOPMENT Humble Group AB Interim Report January - March 2024 4 HUMBLE GROUP’S FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT FIRST QUARTER REVENUES Net sales Net sales for the quarter amounted to MSEK 1,838 (1,592), an increase of 15% compared to the corresponding period last year.

The integration of MCN and Tweek into FCB has progressed effectively. Continued capacity restraints in Arena Confectionary. Results from initiatives is expected to take effect in Q2- Q3 2024.

Within the Nordic Distribution segment, a network of wholesalers and distributors operates across the Nordic region. These companies possess extensive knowledge of local markets and consumer preferences. Leveraging the expertise of our Nordic Distribution subsidiaries, Humble are poised to deliver an extensive range of FMCG products that are tailored to the diverse tastes and preferences prevalent in the region. This collaborative strategy underscores our commitment to effectively addressing the unique demands of the local market and ensuring a comprehensive product portfolio that resonates with our valued customers. Humble Group's vision: Number 1 distribution partner for healthy and sustainable brands. SEGMENT UPDATE The most significant events and initiatives for the segment during the quarter comprise, among others: Slightly weaker margin levels across the segment, mainly due to prices increases from suppliers. As a result of the development in prices, several subsidiaries have made larger purchases to hedge against further negative spikes. Focus remains on improving the gross margin, which in our view is the most essential factor to increase bottom-line results in a highly margin sensitive industry. Freight and logistics centralisation project is progressing and is expected to contribute to an improved gross margin further down the line once we can fully capitalize on the benefits. Implementation of new IT infrastructure across several subsidiaries are well underway, although integration projects of this magnitude take time. A private label offering project has been initiated where we aim to coordinate our distribution access points and split up customers to ensure that we can offer competitive pricing and optimized logistic solutions to our Nordic customers.

To achieve a relevant comparison with previous period and to reflect the updated assessment of accounting principles, capitalized work on own account have been included in the adjustments for the comparative period. See Note 7 for more information. On December 1st the Group announced its intention regarding sale of real estates as a sale and leaseback transaction.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS 2023 During first quarter of 2023, the Parent Company acquired 100% of four subsidiaries. The acquisitions are presented on an aggregated level, as the relative amounts of the individual acquisitions are not deemed to be material. The subsidiaries have operations within distribution and manufacturing. Identified excess values are linked to Goodwill MSEK 61, Customer relationship and listing of MSEK 11, Trademark and brands of MSEK 21, Buildings and lands of MSEK 9 and Deferred tax liability of MSEK 12. Significant estimate: contingent consideration Two of the total acquisitions made during 2023 have an agreement of contingent considerations of total MSEK 32. These considerations are due to payment within 0-3 years. The potential undiscounted amount payable under the agreements amount to MSEK 39 for cumulative EBITDA. The fair value of the contingent consideration was MSEK 32 at the initial recognition and is estimated by calculating the present value of the future expected cash flows at the end of the accounting period. The estimates are based on a weighted average cost of capital as discount rate of 11,02%. Employment linked consideration No employment linked consideration is related to the acquisitions carried out during 2023. Revenue and profit contribution The acquisition of the subsidiaries contributed with net sales of MSEK 63 to the Group for the period from the acquisition date to end of March 2023. The subsidiaries also contributed with an EBITDA of MSEK 2 during the same period. If the subsidiaries would have been consolidated from January 1, 2023, the Group's income statement would present additional net sales of MSEK 62 and EBITDA of MSEK 4. Acquisition-related costs Acquisition-related costs of 3 MSEK are included in the statement of profit and loss and in operating cash flows in the statement of cash flows.

Financial instrument level 2 Observable data for the asset or liability other than quoted prices included in level 1, either directly (i.e. as price quotations) or indirectly (i.e. derived from price quotations). Financial instrument level 3 When one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data. The Group's financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss consists of Other long-term securities, which are classified as level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The Group's financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss consists of Contingent consideration, which are classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. There have been no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels during the reporting period. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURE OF LONG TERM LOANS During the third quarter of 2023, Humble Group refinanced its bond obligations of MSEK 1 800 in total, and replaced this with two Term loans of total MSEK 1 350 and one revolving credit facility of total MSEK 300. The new term loans are measured at amortized cost that corresponds in all essential to its fair value in the balance sheet. CONTINGENT CONSIDERATIONS The total contingent consideration to be paid are generally conditioned by significant financial performance improvements, which usually is measured to certain pre-determined EBITDA- levels by the subsidiary to be reached. The nature of the payments is generally a subject for Humble Group to decide, with a majority to be paid in cash but can also be paid with newly issued shares. This has a potential positive impact of the Groups cash flow and long-term net debt. The mechanics behind the additional purchase prices differ between the various acquisitions and the Group's commitments also extend over a longer time horizon. The provision in the consolidated balance sheet is presented at a higher level and constitutes a valuation of management's best assessment of the expected future cash flow. This assessment is made on a subsidiary-based level and is revalued regularly. The contingent considerations are recognized at fair value and have been discounted with 9,6% discount rate. The duration to maturity is presented below. INPUT USED IN RECURRING LEVEL 3 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND VALUATION TECHNIQUES The contingent considerations in the Group have been calculated based on the nominal value of the best estimate of the expected outcome on the date of the acquisition. The estimate is based on management's assessment of the probable amount to be paid given the terms of the share transfer agreement. The fair value of the contingent considerations has been calculated based on an interest rate corresponding to the remaining term until payment at each reporting date. During the first quarter, MSEK -19 (-18) in interest income was recognized as finance expenses regarding expenses related to contingent considerations.
