We have strengthened the group's balance sheet with a directed new issue of SEK 875 million and in connection with this secured a new capital structure based on bank loans, which will fundamentally change our opportunities to grow organically and with significantly lower interest costs. It is no news that the consumer market is tough and it is therefore gratifying that we have a good momentum with continued strong demand for Humble's products and reached an all-time high both in terms of sales and profitability in June. Most of the operating companies have now been part of Humble for a longer time and have begun to find their place in the group, with increased collaborations and synergies as a result. During the second half of the year, we will accelerate the work with our platforms Future Snacking, Quality Nutrition, Sustainable Care and Nordic Distribution. It will primarily involve some consolidation and integration around the larger platform companies, where we see that there is an opportunity to speed up the development of smaller businesses and realize synergies in the form of rationalization, efficiency and higher productivity in our manufacturing units. We are facing an exciting autumn and have our two most important quarters ahead of us. Financial result The second quarter accounted for a stable financial result with net sales amounting to SEK 1,710 million (974) and with continued organic growth of 13 percent and 15 percent pro forma. Profitability was strengthened to MSEK 170 adjusted EBITDA (106) and the positive cash flow that we have been working with since the autumn of last year has been maintained, where we, adjusted for non-recurring items from tax deferrals, generated an operational cash flow after change in working capital of MSEK 185 (14). The inventory increased slightly, but relatively we have reduced its size in relation to net sales by approximately 0.7 percentage points during the year, with further potential to improve. Our top priority is to continue to strengthen the gross margin and recover part of the loss since 2021, while streamlining the management of net working capital. It is gratifying that the second quarter is the first in over a year that we have turned to a positive development regarding proforma adjusted EBITDA, with the hope that it is the beginning of a longer recovery to previous levels of profitability. In order to improve the financial result going forward, we have started a group-wide pricing project with several identified improvement areas where we have the opportunity to calibrate our pricing model. Operational focus In addition to the financial activities, the internal work has been characterized by an operational focus towards certain consolidation and integration as well as broadening the group-wide functions within sales and purchasing. In the work to develop the segments, it is natural to consolidate certain subsidiaries around the operations where we have reached a sufficient size and identified strong teams and leadership, which will form the future building blocks of our growth platform. With a reduced pace of acquisitions, we have also integrated the M&A team under Marcus Stenkil's leadership as part of operations, which feels very good. Already in the first half of the year, we have seen the effects of being able to run group-wide initiatives more quickly and thus strengthen our competitiveness and adaptability. This is a critical function of how we grow the businesses and I firmly believe it is the key to extracting maximum value from our subsidiaries. Market The quarter started somewhat cautiously but that changed quickly and ended with a good month of May followed by an even better month of June with both sales and profitability records. We have recovered the gross margin with 0.36 percent compared to the previous quarter, adjusted for the consolidation effect of Privab. There is a long way to go towards our target of 35 percent, but we are convinced that the initiatives that have been established will get us there in a few years' time. I am often asked how Humble's products stand in an increasingly uncertain consumer market. In response to the question, I can share that the group's range of white label, private label, contract manufacturing and pricefighters in the low-price segment is standing strong and is expected to grow and develop positively even in a recession scenario. In addition, most of our premium brands are doing well, although some have suffered somewhat from customer price sensitivity. For example, brands such as True Gum and Body Science stand out positively, which had significant sales growth of 83 and 37 percent respectively during the first half year. So far, we have no indications of any dropping demand overall, but we are vigilant and follow the market closely. We work continuously to stay well prepared and ensure that Humble has a sustainable position that stands up well even in tougher times. Outlook I am very grateful for the trust we have from our major shareholders and the banks Nordea, SEB and SEK, which has enabled the new capital structure that we can now establish for the group. Together with the ongoing sale of the properties, we have taken the necessary measures to organically continue our growth journey, with a suitable financing structure which gives us the possibility to generate a healthy free cash flow going forward. The preparations for a list change are progressing well and we estimate to be ready for the review during the coming autumn. It is still a challenging market to operate in and we are far from satisfied. However, I would like to point out that the strength of Humble's companies and the persistence we see, together with a gross profit recovery, will give us the right conditions to be able to deliver more value to all our shareholders over time.

The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The financial statements have been prepared according to cost method except from certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the Annual report for the year ended December 31, 2022. New or amended IFRS standards, effective from January 1, 2023, have no impact on the result and financial position of the Group. NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS The Group makes estimates and assumptions about the future. The estimates for accounting purposes that result from these will, by definition, rarely correspond to the actual result. The estimates and assumptions that entail a significant risk of significant adjustments in reported values for assets and liabilities in this interim report correspond to those describe in Note 3 in the Annual report 2022. No significant new assessments and estimates have been made during the reporting period that have entailed any significant changes in reported items. NOTE 3 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Humble Group entered into a letter of intent regarding sale of real estates. The intention is to structure the Transaction as a so-called “sale- leaseback” where Humble directly, or indirectly through subsidiaries, enters into new market lease agreements with the Interested Party. The arrangement ensures that Humble’s subsidiaries can continue to run their respective businesses in existing premises without interruption. Through the Transaction, Humble’s subsidiary also gets a long-term landlord who has good knowledge and experience in running and managing properties for commercial use. Humble has historically acquired the Properties in connection with acquisitions. The Properties have had a good value development and as a natural step in Humble’s strategy to streamline the business, the board and management make the assessment that a sale of the Properties will benefit the Company in the long term. Through the Transaction, Humble will be able to focus to a greater extent on the core business, while the Company frees up capital that can be allocated to other value-driving initiatives and projects. If the Transaction is carried out at the preliminary property values, it will imply a positive profit effect of approximately MSEK 73, which will be reported in connection with the completion of the Transaction. The Transaction would mean that Humble’s net debt, after deducting Humble’s share of deferred tax, decreases by approximately MSEK 290 and that the net debt in relation to adjusted EBITDA pro forma decreases by 0.3x. After the completion of the Transaction, Humble’s EBITA will decrease by approximately MSEK 14 and the net effect for Humble’s liquidity and after amortization of the property-related loans is expected to amount to approximately MSEK 210. No other subsequent events have occurred after the end of the reporting period. ===== SIDA 20 ===== | FINANCIAL INFORMATION Humble Group AB Interim Report April – June 2023 19 NOTE 4 – SEGMENT INFORMATION AND DISCLOSURE OF REVENUE The Group's chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer (CEO), who primarily uses a measure of earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) to assess the performance of the operating segments.

Explanation of what the items affecting comparability mainly refer to are presented in Note 10 in the Annual report 2022. Humble has not adjusted for any items related to extraordinary freight costs during 2023. The main adjustment item during the period was related to revaluation of contingent considerations of MSEK -41 (9) and employee-related compensation and lock-in penalties of MSEK 24 (48). NOTE 6 – FINANCIAL EXPENSES NOTE 7 – PROFORMA FINANCIALS Humble Group is a fast-growing FMCG group with an adopted strategy to grow both organically and through acquisitions. To illustrate the Group's scope at the date of publication of this interim report, Humble present a proforma on the key financials from the income statement. The proforma financials have not been adjusted for intercompany sales. Such transactions would theoretically have occurred if the subsidiary would have been part of Humble Group for the presented periods. The purpose is to visualise how the Group's financial position and results would have looked like on June 30 2023, if the companies acquired during the year, or where acquisition agreements have been communicated, would have been consolidated with the existing part of the Group.

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 BOND LOANS The Group also has financial instruments in the form of two senior bond loans with a total credit line of MSEK 2 000 that are not measured at fair value in the balance sheet: - MSEK 300 was issued on January 5, 2021 (2021-2024), has a fixed interest rate of 9.50 % - MSEK 1 500 was issued on July 21, 2021 (2021-2025), has a variable interest rate (STIBOR 3m + 8.25 %) For the bond loan 2021-2025, the measurement at amortised cost corresponds in all essentials to its fair value because the interest rate is variable and as the credit risk has not changed significantly. The fair value of the bond loan 2021-2024 has been calculated by using cash flows discounted at a current interest rate. The bond loan is classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as unobservable data has been used, including own credit risk. The carrying amount of the bond loan 2021-2024 for 2023 are MSEK 300 (300), whereas the fair value of the loan amount to MSEK 283 (263). 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 recognised at fair value and have been discounted with 11 % 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 2023, MSEK -36 (-15) in interest income was recognised as finance expenses regarding expenses related to contingent considerations.
