2 Netel Holding AB (publ)   Third quarter 2024 report 
   CEO’s comments  We continue to build a stronger Netel We are reporting a stable quarter with strong growth for Infraservices in Sweden and Telecom in Norway and Finland. Operating cash flow was strong in the quarter and amounted to MSEK 47. Our order backlog remains high at SEK 4.0 billion and our efficiency work to increase profitability over time is proceeding according to plan.  Sales increased organically by 0.3 per cent to MSEK 893 (890) in the quarter. Excluding currency effects organic growth was 2.8%, driven by strong growth in Infraservices and Telecom in Norway and Finland. In Power, comparative figures were impacted by the high volume of projects completed in the third quarter of 2023. Since the projects in Power are often major, sales can vary between the quarters depending on which projects are completed during each period. In Telecom in Sweden, we have started the projects to FMV, with initially low volumes in the quarter. We have also commenced deliveries to our new German customer UGG and can report growth, albeit modest, in Germany. Over the past year, we have carried out a number of strategic initiatives that are crucial to our future development and competitiveness. Among other things, we change business systems, run important digitalisation projects and have intensified our sustainability efforts. Furthermore, we have made organisational changes that will strengthen our ability to meet future demands and enable continued growth. These measures are necessary to build a stronger, more sustainable business. We expect this year’s adjusted EBITA margin to be in line with last year and we see low year-on-year growth due to lower volumes in Telecom in Germany, the UK and Sweden. The strategic initiatives we are implementing and incurring costs for this year will lay the foundation for us to achieve our medium-term financial targets. Continued efforts to enhance efficiency The EBITA margin fell to 4.1% (5.2%), impacted by lower volumes in Power and the completion of projects in Infraservices with lower margins than expected. We carry out extensive work where we identify and improve our processes and invest to see a positive development going forward, step by step. Our programmes to enhance efficiency, which encompasses among all increased digitalisation and a new common business system, is proceeding according to plan. The digitalisation projects for Telecom in Norway will enhance efficiency and further improve our service offering. The service business in Telecom consists of many small orders requiring us to maintain efficient systems to be competitive and more profitable.  High order backlog of SEK 4.0 billion The markets for critical infrastructure are driven by powerful megatrends such as the electrification and digitalisation of society and modernising of sewage and water systems. As a result, we see a stable trend in our 
markets and our order backlog remains high at SEK 4.0 billion. It is gratifying to note that our strategic decision earlier this year to expand into new customer segments, such as industry, is continuing to yield results. In Norway we recently signed a contract with Green Mountain Data Centers for the design and installation of power systems for Green Mountain’s continued expansion of its data center in Enebakk, near Oslo.  Strong cash flow Operating cash flow amounted to MSEK 47 (2), reflecting the success of our efforts to strengthen our financial position. During the year, we invested in and modernised our systems, improved work procedures and developed processes from the tendering phase to project completion. This holistic approach has enabled us to optimise our use of resources, minimise bottlenecks and increase control over costs and revenue. By strengthening each link in the chain, we have created more efficient operations with improved cash flow.  Science based climate targets Climate change is one of the most important issues of our time and we are focusing our efforts on reducing Netel’s climate footprint. Our climate targets are currently being evaluated by Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) and we hope to soon be able to announce validated targets in line with the Paris Agreement. To achieve these ambitious targets, we will need to intensify cooperation with both our customers and partners. Together, we can develop and accelerate our initiatives that help reduce our climate impact and promote a sustainable future. Future outlook I have now been President and CEO of Netel for almost a year and a half, and during this time we have implemented major organisational changes and changed our ways of working. I am proud of the progress we have made, especially in attracting new customers and strengthening the relationships we have with our existing partners. This progress is the result of the expertise, commitment and professionalism of our employees, whose daily work strengthens Netel’s competitiveness and creates long-term value on a step-by-step basis.  Jeanette Reuterskiöld President and CEO

5 Netel Holding AB (publ)   Third quarter 2024 report 
Cash flow and financial position Cash flow from operating activities amounted to MSEK -4 (39), mainly impacted by seasonal patterns with a high share of projects start-ups in the first quarter. In the same period of 2023, cash flow was positively affected by MSEK 70 from the settlement with a major fibre customer.  During the nine-month period, cash flow from investing activities was MSEK -120 (-79), mainly attributable to paid contingent considerations.  Cash flow from financing activities amounted to MSEK -79 (-46). The raising of loans was higher during the first nine months of 2023 compared with 2024, which impacts the comparison.   Cash flow for the period was MSEK -204 (-87). 
Segments Infraservices division 
 Net sales grew 8.4 per cent to MSEK 220 (203) in the quarter as a result of high project activity. Netel continued to win attractive contracts during the quarter in highly competitive markets. These include Netel being awarded the continued development of the BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) project in Örebro, Sweden, with a contract value of about MSEK 42.   EBITA decreased by 21.2 per cent to MSEK 14 (18), with an EBITA margin of 6.5 per cent (9.1), with the decline due to the completion of projects with lower margins than expected.  Power division 
 Net sales decreased by 17.7 per cent to MSEK 236 (286) during the quarter. Comparative figures are impacted by the high volume of project completions, primarily in Norway, in the third quarter of 2023. Since Power often involves major projects, sales can vary between the quarters depending on which projects were completed during the period.

After the end of the quarter, a contract was signed with Green Mountain Data Centers in Norway for the design and installation of the power supply for the further expansion of their data center in Enebakk, near Oslo. EBITA decreased 66.5 per cent to MSEK 8 (25) in the quarter and the EBITA margin was 3.5 per cent (8.6). Profitability was impacted by the lower volumes in the quarter and the Finnish power operation which is still making a loss. Efforts to increase margins in Norway and Finland are continuing according to plan.  Telecom division 
  Net sales grew 9.1 per cent to MSEK 437 (401) in the quarter, primarily due to good development in Norway and Finland. In Sweden, the first projects with FMV have commenced but volumes remain low. In Norway, increased volumes in mobile and services contributed to the sales growth. In Finland, fibre projects are ongoing, which contributed to the strong performance. In Germany, major projects for the roll-out of fibre to UGG have commenced. In the UK, the build-up of Netel’s market presence is continuing. EBITA improved 184.5 per cent to MSEK 13 (5) and the EBITA margin increased to 3.0 per cent (1.1) in the quarter, primarily due to increased volumes.

Other information Significant events after the end of the reporting period Contract signed with Green Mountain Data Centers covering the design and installation of power systems for the data center in Enebakk, near Oslo. The project includes the entire system from the 132 kV line, the substations and terminations in the data center. The project has already started and should be completed in 2026. Employees The number of employees at the end of the period was 852 (857). The average number of employees for the third quarter was 865 (870).  Financial targets Revenue growth  Annual growth target of 10 per cent, including inorganic growth. Margin target Adjusted EBITA margin above 7 per cent in the medium term. Capital structure Net debt (excluding lease liabilities) in relation to adjusted EBITDA R12M of a multiple below 2.5. The leverage ratio can temporarily be exceeded in connection with acquisitions. Dividend policy Pay-out ratio of 40 per cent of the Group’s net profit, considering other factors such as acquisition opportunities, financial position, cash flow and organic growth opportunities. Long-term incentive programme LTIP 2024 In May 2024, the Annual General Meeting resolved to implement a long-term incentive programme – LTIP 2024 – for members of the Executive Team and certain other key employees of the Group, totalling eight persons. Some of the participants in the programme will have the opportunity to acquire shares in the company (warrants), while other participants will have the opportunity to receive a cash amount based on the share price (synthetic options). Participants have been offered to purchase the options at market value, with a subsidy in the form of a cash payment equivalent to approximately 50% of the investment amount. The benefit corresponding to the subsidy is recognised as share-based payment in accordance with IFRS 2, meaning personnel costs over the vesting period of three years. The programme encompasses 750,000 warrants and 214,000 synthetic options. Both warrants and synthetic options may be exercised during the period from 1 June 2027 up to and including 31 August 2027. The subscription/exercise price amounts to 150% of the volume-weighted average price paid during five trading days ending on 17 May 2024, which was SEK 22.39. The terms and conditions of the warrants contain a so-called net strike recalculation clause, which means that the subscription price and the number of shares that each warrant entitles to subscription for will be recalculated before the exercise period.

===== SIDA 8 =====

8 Netel Holding AB (publ)   Third quarter 2024 report 
The fair value on the allotment date amounted to SEK 1.88 for warrants and SEK 1.87 for synthetic options. The maximum number of warrants has been subscribed.  During the quarter the Group recognised SEK 58,750 as costs in accordance with IFRS 2 and the share-based payment.  Parent Company The Parent Company’s net sales amounted to MSEK 6 (8) for the quarter. The Parent Company was charged with personnel costs and certain financial expenses. Risks and uncertainties There are several strategic, operational and financial risks and uncertainties that could impact the Group’s financial results and position. Most of these can be managed by internal procedures, although some are governed by external factors to a greater extent. Risks and uncertainties are related to IT and control systems, suppliers, disputes related to projects, seasonal and weather variations and currencies, but could also arise in the event of new competition, changed market conditions and macroeconomic factors or changed customer behaviour. Interest rate risk also exists for the Group. A weaker macroeconomic situation, higher interest rates and inflation pressure could have a negative impact on demand from customers and entail project delays. Netel cannot currently assess the scope of any potential recession, the level of inflation or expected interest rates. It is thus also difficult to assess the effects on the Group’s operations. Netel’s business model is based on a low level of the Group’s assets being tied up in own operations, for example, in machines, which makes the Group more financially agile during recessions. The Netel Group is also affected by weather factors. An early or late winter with lower temperatures has a negative impact on excavation projects, while autumn storms can lead to more assignments to secure power lines. For a more detailed description of the risks and uncertainties for the Group and the Parent Company, refer to the 2023 Annual Report.  Netel works actively to monitor and continuously evaluate sustainability-related risk and their impact on the Group’s operations and earnings. As part of this governance, Group management has started to monitor and evaluate the Group’s climate impact and how the Group is affected by climate-related risks. Group management is also following up compliance among subsidiaries regarding, for example, the Code of Conduct, work-related injuries and legal disputes. 2025 Annual General Meeting The 2025 Annual General Meeting will be held on Thursday, 8 May, in Stockholm, Sweden. Shareholders who wish to have a matter brought before the AGM may submit a proposal to Netel’s Chairman of the Board by e-mailing ir@netelgroup.com or writing to Netel Holding AB, Att: Årsstämma 2025, Fågelviksvägen 9, 7th floor SE-145 84 Stockholm, Sweden. To be assured of the proposal reaching the notice and therefore the agenda of the AGM, the proposal must have reached the company by 20 March 2025 at the latest.

11 Netel Holding AB (publ)   Third quarter 2024 report 
Condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and statement of comprehensive income 
 In 2024, Netel replaced a bank loan in Swedish kronor (SEK) and signed a bank loan in Norwegian kronor (NOK) amounting to MNOK 200, corresponding to MSEK 199 at the time of borrowing. The loan is valued at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. This loan was structured to secure the net investment in the Norwegian subsidiaries including the Parent Company’s lending to the companies amounting to an equivalent amount (MNOK 200) that was identified as an expanded net investment. Hedge accounting is applied, which is why gains or losses from currency translation of the loan are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity to the extent that the hedge is   
effective. Any ineffective portion of the hedging relationship is recognised in net financial items in the income statement. Accumulative gains or losses recognised in other comprehensive income are presented in a separate item of equity and reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment on divestment or part divestment of the foreign operation. The hedge ratio is 1:1 for the hedge and an economic relationship is deemed to exist since the underlying currency risk in the loan and net investment are well matched. The Group did not recognise any ineffectiveness during the period.

15 Netel Holding AB (publ)   Third quarter 2024 report 
Notes to the financial statements in summary Key accounting policies This interim report covers the Swedish Parent Company Netel Holding AB (publ), Corp. Reg. No. 559327–6263, and its subsidiaries. The activities of the company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) include the provision of the construction and maintenance of infrastructure in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany and the UK within the divisions of Infraservices, Power and Telecom. The Parent Company is a limited company with its registered office in Stockholm, Sweden. The address of the head office is Fågelviksvägen 9, SE-145 84 Stockholm. Netel Holding AB (publ) applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. The Group’s interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable parts of the Annual Accounts Act (1995: 1554). The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 9 Interim Reports of the Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Reporting for Legal Entities. For the Group and the Parent Company, the same accounting policies, calculation bases and assessments have been applied as in the latest annual report for Netel Holding AB (publ), with the exception of hedge accounting. A more detailed description of the Group’s applied accounting policies as well as new and future changes in standards can be found in the latest published annual report. For a complete description of the Group and the Parent Company’s applied accounting policies, see Note 1 in the 2023 Annual Report and the description below. In addition to the financial statements and their accompanying notes, disclosures pursuant to IAS 34 are provided in the interim information, which comprise an integral part of this financial report. All amounts in this report are stated in millions of Swedish kronor (MSEK) unless otherwise stated. Differences in rounding off may occur. Hedging of net investment in foreign operations In 2024, Netel replaced a bank loan in Swedish kronor (SEK) and signed a bank loan in Norwegian kronor (NOK) amounting to MNOK 200, corresponding to 
MSEK 199 at the time of borrowing. The loan is valued at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. This loan was identified to secure the net investment in the Norwegian subsidiaries including the Parent Company’s lending to the companies amounting to an equivalent amount (MNOK 200) that was identified as an expanded net investment. Hedge accounting is applied, which is why gains or losses from currency translation of the loan are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity to the extent that the hedge is effective. Any ineffective portion of the hedging relationship is recognised in net financial items in the income statement. Accumulative gains or losses recognised in other comprehensive income are presented in a separate item of equity and reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment on divestment or part divestment of the foreign operation. The hedge ratio is 1:1 for the hedge and an economic relationship is deemed to exist since the underlying currency risk in the loan and net investment are well matched. The Group did not recognise any ineffectiveness during the period. Warrants Obligations for the Group’s warrants are recognised as personnel costs over the period of service based on the estimated number of rights expected to be vested. The fair value is calculated on the allotment date and recognised in equity. The estimate of the number of shares expected to be vested is reassessed at the end of each reporting period and any differences are recognised in profit or loss with corresponding adjustments made in equity. Synthetic options  Obligations for the Group’s synthetic options are recognised as personnel costs over the period of service based on the estimated number of rights expected to be vested. The fair value of the liability is remeasured at the end of each reporting period and recognised as an employee benefit obligation in the balance sheet. Any changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss as personnel costs. In the event that synthetic options are forfeited due to the employee not meeting the service conditions, the

liability is derecognised and previously recognised expenses are reversed.  Segment reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing the performance of the operating segments. In the Group, this function has been identified as the President and CEO. An operating segment is a part of the Group that conducts operations that earn revenue and incur costs, and for which discrete financial information is available. The Group is categorised into segments based on the internal structure of its business operations, which means that there are three operating segments: the Infraservices, Power and Telecom divisions.  The same accounting policies are used in the segments as for the Group, except for leases in accordance with IFRS 16. Leasing according to IFRS 16 was not allocated on the division level. Consequently, the divisions’ leases are reported as if they were operating leases. The Group presents revenue and earnings before interest, tax and amortisation (EBITA) per segment. Earnings per share Earnings per share before dilution are calculated by dividing net profit attributable to holders of ordinary shares in the Parent Company by the weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares during the year. Earnings per share after dilution are calculated by dividing net profit attributable to holders of ordinary shares in the Parent Company, adjusted where applicable, by the sum of the weighted average number of ordinary shares and potential ordinary shares that may give rise to a dilution effect. The dilution effect of potential ordinary shares is only reported if a recalculation of ordinary shares would lead to a decrease in earnings per share after dilution. 
Estimates and judgements The preparation of the interim report requires that company management makes assessments and estimates and makes assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. The actual outcome may differ from these estimates and assessments. The critical assessments and sources of uncertainty in estimates are the same as in the latest published annual report. See Note 1 in the 2023 Annual Report for more information. Operating segments For accounting and monitoring purposes, the Group has divided its operations into three operating segments based on how the Group CEO evaluates the Group’s operations. The three operating segments are the Infraservices, Power and Telecom divisions. The Group CEO primarily uses earnings before interest, tax and amortisation (EBITA) in assessing the performance of the operating segments.  Other adjustments at Group level are included under Group-wide items and eliminations, for example, transaction costs and other Group-wide costs that are not allocated at segment level. Changes in 2024 Starting in the first quarter of 2024, Netel carried out a reorganisation to clarify synergies, better utilise business opportunities and expertise as well as allocate resources between countries based on the nature of the operations. The previous segments Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany and the UK were replaced by the Infraservices, Power and Telecom divisions which, as of the first quarter of 2024, are recognised as the primary operating segments. The previous segments will be reported as business areas within each division. To increase transparency, restated figures are also presented for all of the remaining quarters and full-year 2023 in accordance with the new operating segments.

Financial instruments The Group’s financial instruments measured at fair value only refer to contingent considerations and fund holdings (see below). For other financial assets and liabilities, the carrying amounts are good approximations of the fair value. Fair value measurement Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The table below shows financial instruments measured at fair value, based on the classification of the fair value hierarchy. The different levels are defined as follows: Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 – Other observable input data for the asset or liability than quoted prices included in level 1, either direct (i.e. price quotes) or indirect (i.e. derived from price quotes).  Level 3 – Input data for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (i.e. unobservable input data). 
Fund holdings The Group holds funds included in the item Financial non-current assets. Fund holdings are measured at fair value by use of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and are thus found in level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Contingent consideration For some of the Group’s business combinations, there are contingent considerations. The contingent considerations are dependent on the average EBITA for the business combinations over one to three years. The considerations will be settled in cash.  The contingent considerations are included in the items Non-current non-interest-bearing liabilities and Current non-interest-bearing liabilities in the amount of MSEK 61 (164). The contingent considerations are found in level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Other holdings and liabilities measured at fair value The Group holds currency futures that are included in the item Current non-interest-bearing liabilities. These currency futures are measured at fair value through indirect calculations from underlying currencies, according to data received from the counterparty/bank, and thus are found in level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

24 Netel Holding AB (publ)   Third quarter 2024 report 
Review report   Introduction We have reviewed the interim report for Netel Holding AB (publ) for the period 1 January–30 September 2024. 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 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 consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit. Conclusion Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not, in all material respects, prepared for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
