“
After one quarter as Acting CEO, my view is clear. Humble
has taken an important step toward a more operational
approach, where we act more actively as owners and devote
more time and effort to ensuring that our businesses reach
their full potential. The e
fficiency program is progressing
according to plan, and we are confident in achieving the
communicated cost saving targets.
In parallel, the strategic review is ongoing with several
processes underway regarding divestments, selective
acquisitions, and strategic partnerships. Our long
-
term goal
is to create a more focused and profitable group. Our
ambition is to communicate conc
rete steps within the
coming months.
We assess that the Swedish krona will continue to be
challenging and impact the group in the short term. That
said, we remain determined to act decisively in executing
the measures now being implemented. The transformation
currently underway within Humble
is important and
necessary to ensure a more profitable business in the
medium term.
Our primary focus is to create long term shareholder value
through increased profitability, stronger cash flows, and a
more predictable Humble. With a clearer focus, we see
strong conditions for taking the next step in Humble’s
continued development journe
y together with the group’s
hardworking entrepreneurs.

COMMENTS FROM THE CEO
Humble Group concludes the year with an organic sales
growth of 6
%
, with gross profit in line with the previous
year. The fourth quarter also marked an important shift for
us as a company. Our transformation efforts have
accelerated, with clearer priorities to create a more
result‑oriented Humble, characterized by higher
operational discipline, more efficient capital allocation,
improved cash flows, and a reduced leverage ratio.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Net sales
increased during the quarter to
M
SEK 2,118
(2,089), corresponding to an organic growth of 6
%
, ma
inly
driven by strong development in the Future Snacking and
Quality Nutrition segments.
Adjusted EBITA
amounted to
M
SEK 13
9
(142), and the work
to realize the previously communicated profitability
improvements is ongoing. The increasingly stronger
Swedish krona has had a negative impact on revenue,
profitability, liquidity, and leverage.
Gross profit
amounted to
M
SEK 665 (659), with a gross
margin of 31.4
%
(31.
6
). Currency effects impacted
profitability by
M
SEK
-
33 and the gross margin by
-
0.3
percentage points during the quarter.
Cash flow from operating activities
, after changes in
working capital, amounted to
M
SEK 206 (132). We continue
to work with strong focus on optimizing inventory levels and
strengthening cash flow.
Net debt
continued to decline during the quarter to 2.6x
(2.9x). Adjusted for currency effects on profitability and
cash, net debt amounts to 2.4x and we remain firmly
committed to further reducing the leverage ratio.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR FOUR SEGMENTS
The past quarter confirms the breadth and resilience of
Humble Group. Despite a challenging market environment,
we are seeing stable demand across our segments, with
both Future Snacking and Quality Nutrition showing strong
organic growth.
The
Future Snacking
segment continues to grow. During
the fourth quarter, organic growth in the segment reached
21
%
. Several brands within the segment continue to gain
market share through new launches and increased listings.
During the quarter, we initiated installation of our new
production facility in Skövde. Over time, the new facility is
expected to strongly contr
ibute to the segment’s future
international expansion opportunities while strengthening
our position in the Swedish market.
Sustainable Care
had a more challenging quarter, with
organic net sales declining by
-
1
%
. We continue to see a
volatile market in the UK and Germany. Our subsidiary
Solent, which constitutes a significant part of the segment,
performed fundamentally well, although the loss of a
distribution contract negatively impacted growth. EBITA in
the se
gment was affected by currency effects of
M
SEK
-
5.
Within
Quality Nutrition
, organic growth amounted to 11
%
.
We have seen a strong recovery in the production of sports
nutrition products, and our assessment is that this positive
development will continue into the new year. The conditions
for continued growth are considered favorable.
Nordic Distribution
grew organically by 3
%
during the
quarter, with a stable gross margin development. The
business continues to contribute significant value through
an established distribution model with broad market
presence, strengthening both our own brands and external
partnerships. At the sam
e time, we see good opportunities
to win additional major contracts with Swedish retail chains
during the year.
OUTLOOK
AND FOCUS AHEAD
After one quarter as Acting CEO, my view is clear. Humble
has taken an important step toward a more operational
approach, where we act more actively as owners and devote
more time and effort to ensuring that our businesses reach
their full potential. The e
fficiency program is progressing
according to plan, and we are confident in achieving the
communicated cost saving targets.
In parallel, the strategic review is ongoing with several
processes underway regarding divestments, selective
acquisitions, and strategic partnerships. Our long
-
term goal
is to create a more focused and profitable group. Our
ambition is to communicate conc
rete steps within the
coming months.
We assess that the Swedish krona will continue to be
challenging and impact the group in the short term. That
said, we remain determined to act decisively in executing
the measures now being implemented. The transformation
currently underway within Humble
is important and
necessary to ensure a more profitable business in the
medium term.
Our primary focus is to create long term shareholder value
through increased profitability, stronger cash flows, and a
more predictable Humble. With a clearer focus, we see
strong conditions for taking the next step in Humble’s
continued development journe
y together with the group’s
hardworking entrepreneurs.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, RFR 1
Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups and
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and
interpretations issued by the IFRS Inter
pretations Committee
(IFRS IC) as adopted by the EU. 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
prep
ared in accordance with ÅRL chapter 9.
The financial statements have been prepared according to
cost method except for certain financial assets and liabilities
measured at fair value through profit and loss. Information
according to IAS
34 appears
in addition to the financial
reports and associated notes also in other parts of the interim
report.
In accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in
Accounting Estimates and Errors, Humble corrected errors in
previously issued financial reporting
for
the fourth quarter of
2024. The corrections
relate
to the fourth quarter of 2024.
Comparative figures in this interim report for the fourth
quarter of 202
4
and the full year 2024
have been adjusted
accordingly.
See
N
ote
8
for more information.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of
the Annual report for the year ended December 31
st
, 2024.
New or amended IFRS standards, effective from January 1st,
2025, have no impact on the result and financial position of
the Group
.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The Group makes estimates and assumptions about the
future. The estimates for accounting purposes that result
from this 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 2024.
The management’s main estimates during 2025
relate
to
the
assessment whether there is any indication of impairment of
g
oodwill
,
t
rademarks and
other intangible assets
, as well as
share
s
in subsidiaries in the Parent company
. The impairment
test involves a high degree of judgment and assumptions
regarding future cash flows
by management. Based on the
assumptions made, no impairment requirement has been
identified.
During 2025, the management made
estimates
related
to
cost savings for
the
e
fficiency program. The total
provision
recognized
amounts
to MSEK 52
and as per December
31
st
,
2025, the remaining provision amounts to MSEK 19
.
NOTE 3

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Board of Directors proposes that no divide
n
d will be paid
for the financial year 2025.
NOTE 4
–
PARENT COMPANY
In March, the restrictions on the MSEK 150 term loan were
released. In July, Humble expanded its existing credit facility
by MSEK 300 and simultaneously extended the maturity
dates of the credit facilities to 2027 with an option for Humble
to extend by a f
urther year. No other significant events have
occurred in the Parent Company during the year.
NOTE 5
–
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
No transactions with related parties have occurred during
2025 that had a significant impact. The minor transactions
that have occurred relate to lease agreements regarding
previous owners’ properties. Lease agreements between the
parties are based on an a
rm’s length principle and on market
terms and conditions.
NOTE 6
–
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Humble works continuously to identify, evaluate, and manage
risks and exposures that the Group
’s
subsidiaries face. The
Group's financial position and earnings are affected by various
risk factors that must be considered when assessing the
Group and its future earnings. A description of significant
risks and uncertainties can be found in the Annual R
eport for
2024.
At the time of this interim report being published, the war in
Ukraine and the conflict in Israel and Gaza remain ongoing.
Humble does not have any direct exposure to these markets
and therefore does not currently experience any material
direct impact from
the conflicts.
Nevertheless, heightened geopolitical tensions and the risk of
further escalation in the regions may contribute to increased
volatility in global markets.
During 2025, the global economic environment has been
characterized by increased uncertainty, including disruptions
to international trade following changes in trade policies and
tariff measures. Humble currently has limited export exposure
to the US marke
t and therefore assesses the potential direct
impact from increased tariffs to
being
limited.
Humble continues to monitor macroeconomic developments
and decisions by authorities that may affect the Group. The
Group is also exposed to volatility in raw material prices,
energy costs, and other input factors, which are monitored
closely in order to en
able price adjustments towards
customers where possible and to protect operating margins.
Humble
is exposed to foreign currency risk arising from
transactions and monetary balances denominated in
currencies other than the functional currency, principally GBP,
EUR, and AUD. Exchange rate movements may affect the
Group’s results and financial position.
In addition, risks related
to
interest rate movements, and the
integration of acquired businesses are continuously
assessed.

RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIALS
Comparative figures in this interim report for the fourth
quarter of 2024 and full year 2024 have been restated due to
an identified incorrect evaluation of a property in December
2024. The correction amounts to MSEK 15 and is reflected in
Other external e
xpenses, Tangible assets and Net income for
period in Equity Statement, as well as all related KPI and APM.
The effect
on full year EPS is
-
0.03, with previously stated 0.28
and the restated 0.25. The correction is entirely attributable
to a subsidiary wit
hin the segment Future Snacking.
The opening balance of retained earnings of 2024 has been
restated as well as the Other short
-
term receivables as of
December 31
st
, 2024. The correction amounts to MSEK
