Adjusted EBITA amounted to MSEK 154 (139), corresponding to Adjusted EBITA margin of 7.8 percent. At the consumer level, demand for our products remains high and we see a continuous influx of new distribution agreements, not least with the largest chains. We are now entering our most seasonally intensive quarter while we are fully focused on executing the initiatives that are driven within our respective business areas. Eventful quarter The third quarter was characterized by high intensity. In August, new financial targets were presented. Shortly afterwards, we held our first capital markets day with the purpose of giving the market a clearer insight into our existing operations and our strategy for continued value creation. In addition, we have completed a successful listing change to Nasdaq Stockholm's main market, which marks an important quality step in Humble's continued development. The international expansion is going according to plan with several new product launches. A diaper series in a new price segment from Naty has been launched in the USA and an international rollout of Pändy and True Co is currently taking place in several European markets. It is also pleasing that the construction of the beverage line in Habo is now completed for full-scale production. The first production series is planned for the fourth quarter and the intention is to scale the production rate towards a full shift over time. Privab has entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with Hemmakväll, a leading player in the confectionery and snack trade in Sweden with 69 stores. The collaboration begins at the turn of the year and strengthens our position as an attractive partner for distribution of snacks, drinks and confectionery. Previous efforts in Australia are now bearing fruit and we see a positive development from the factory acquisition of a bar producer and the associated launch of Body Science Soft Bars. The reception of our protein bars has exceeded expectations and the product range has quickly become the leader in the bar category in Australia. Operationally, we continue to see high demand from our customers. The response from the larger retail chains is positive and we have confirmed several new launches of products and brands for 2025. The consolidation work is progressing well and we have started a number of additional structural integrations and consolidations, with the purpose of streamlining central functions and achieving scalability in purchasing and sales. Strong cash generation and increased gross profit Organic growth increased compared to the first half of the year, where the Quality Nutrition business segment stood out with an increase of 18 percent, as a result of strong development in Sweden and Australia. The organic growth of 7 percent in Future Snacking was not satisfactory, which was negatively affected by terminated external distribution agreements in FCB of MSEK -7 and certain limitations in capacity. The brands in the segment continue to perform strongly and the work to strengthen production capacity continues, where we have a good outlook for the segment as a whole going forward. The sales increase for the group is primarily volume-driven and we see a continued slowdown in the historical price increases that dominated the market last year. The profitability developed in the right direction, with an adjusted EBITA that amounted to MSEK 154 (139), a total increase corresponding to 11 percent, and taking into account the sale of the properties, the organic increase was 14 percent. The gross margin for the quarter showed an improvement compared to previous year and increased to 31 percent (29), which contributed to an increase in gross profit of 15 percent. The improved margin is a result of our work to gradually implement central margin-improving initiatives as well as a good management of the dynamics of pricing vis-à-vis customers and purchases. The good demand and margin improvements are pleasing to see, not least in light of the volatile freight and raw materials market as well as continued uncertainty in the consumer market. The quarter delivered a strong cash flow of MSEK 142 after changes in working capital, despite an increased inventory tie-up of MSEK -47 ahead of October and November, which have historically been the highest sales months. Seasonally, we expect to be able to release additional working capital during the fourth quarter, which will have a positive effect on our cash flow. Our balance sheet continues to strengthen and we are following the previously communicated plan to reduce leverage towards our financial target of <2.5x. Outlook The fourth quarter is Humble's most important quarter in terms of sales. The quarter has had a positive start, at the same time we are facing strong comparative figures against the previous year regarding net sales. We see good opportunities to continue growing the business with strengthened profitability and at the same time ensure the best possible conditions for 2025, with the aim of continued profitability improvement, development of our platform and establishment in existing and new markets. I am convinced that our position, combined with the strategic initiatives that have begun, gives us all the conditions to continue creating value for our shareholders.

The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable regulations in the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The interim report for the parent company is prepared in accordance with ÅRL chapter 9. 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. Information according to IAS 34.16A appears in addition to the financial reports and associated notes also in other parts of the interim report. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the Annual report for the year ended December 31, 2023. New or amended IFRS standards, effective from January 1, 2024, 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 4 in the Annual report 2023. The management has made assessments and estimates continuously throughout 2024, where the main estimates relate to contingent considerations. See Note 5 and Note 10 for more information. As the Group has developed from being a technology focused business to a broader FMCG group, as well as the industry transition into a faster product life cycle turnover, the Group have updated its assessment and judgement for the criteria regarding the application of accounting principles in regard to capitalized work on own account. This implies a significant change going forward of capitalized work on own account from Q1, 2024. To achieve a relevant comparison with previous period and to reflect the updated assessment of accounting principles, capitalized work on own account have been adjusted in items affecting comparability for the comparative period. See Note 6 for more information. On April 17th, the Group completed the second part of the real estate sale, as a sale and leaseback transaction. The right-of-use asset is measured at the proportion of the previous carrying amount of the asset that relates to the right of use retained by the Group. Quantitative information is presented in Note 5.

The right-of-use assets from the sale amount to MSEK 72 and the leasing liability amount to MSEK 73. The new right-of-use assets are intended to be utilized over periods of 5 and 10 years, respectively. The profit for the Group of the sale and leaseback transaction is reported as other operating income and amount to MSEK 5 and refers to the rights transferred to the buyer. The management makes updated estimates each quarter for the contingent considerations. 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 is being calculated based on an interest rate corresponding to the remaining term until payment at each reporting date. The fair value changes are reported through the profit and loss via operating income and operating expense. During the first nine months, the positive change, reported as operating income, amounted to MSEK 77 (141), and the negative change, reported as operating expense, amounted to MSEK -18 (-99). NOTE 6 – ITEMS AFFECTING COMPARABILITY Humble Group recognizes items affecting comparability to EBITDA to visualise comparable figures that are adjusted for the items that occur in historical numbers for various reasons. Explanation of what the items affecting comparability mainly refer to are presented in Note 11 in the Annual report 2023. The main adjustment item during the quarter was related to revaluation of contingent considerations of MSEK 15 (1). As the Group has developed from being a technology focused business to a broader FMCG group, as well as the industry transition into a faster product life cycle turnover, the Group have updated its assessment and judgement for the criteria regarding the application of accounting principles in regard to capitalized work on own account. This implies a significant change going forward of capitalized work on own account from Q1, 2024. To achieve a relevant comparison with previous period and to reflect the updated assessment of accounting principles, capitalized work on own account have been adjusted in items affecting comparability for the comparative period.

September, 30 ===== SIDA 24 ===== | FINANCIAL INFORMATION Humble Group AB Interim Report July - September 2024 23 NOTE 10 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE The levels in the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows: Financial instrument level 1 Quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 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. For financial assets and liabilities other than those disclosed below, fair value is deemed to approximate the carrying value. 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. Humble Group expanded its existing credit facility agreement during the second quarter of 2024 with a total of MSEK 300, whereas MSEK 150 is a short-term loan and MSEK 150 is an extension of the existing revolving credit facility. There have been no changes to pledged assets related to the extended credit facility. 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 nine months, interest expense of MSEK -27 (-48) was recognized as financial expenses related to unwinding of discount effect of contingent considerations.

The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review. Scope of review We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim report consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. Conclusion Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.
