Comments from the CEO
Gratifyingly, our EBITA margin increased by as much as 1.3 percentage points to 11.0% in
relation to the comparative quarter. Fundamentally, we have a tried-and-tested business
model and it is positive that our strategic price adjustments, cost adjustments and focused
efforts throughout the supply chain are bearing fruit. The Group’s net sales, adjusted for
currency, decreased by 1% in the first quarter.
In the Medical Solutions business area, sales increased by 2% adjusted for currency in the
quarter, now accounting for 57% of the Group’s revenues. We will continue our profitable
growth journey with innovation and sustainability in focus – a strategy that is validated by
us having won significant customer contracts. These factors contributed to an increase in
the EBITA margin of a strong 1.9 percentage points to 12.2%.
In the Engineered Solutions business area, sales adjusted for currency decreased by 3%;
as expected, this was driven by reduced volumes in the Automotive market area. Materials
increased organic sales by a full 12%. This was thanks to a strong performance for new prod-
ucts and technological areas in Automotive, as well as support from a recovery in Telecom. A favorable product mix and cost
adjustments, particularly in the Chinese operations, helped strengthen the EBITA margin by 0.6 percentage points to 10.1%.
Cash flow from operating activities was in line with the previous year, despite an increased working capital requirement at the
end of the quarter. Net financial liabilities in relation to adjusted operating profit (EBITDA) amounted to 0.5x, and thus remained
low. After the end of the quarter, fears of a global trade war have increased significantly. It is currently difficult to predict how
events will unfold, even though Nolato is not impacted by any significant direct effects. We have production and deliveries at
several locations both inside and outside new tariff areas, and can thus support and assist our customers with finding the best
solutions.
At our Capital Markets Day in March, which can be viewed on our IR pages, the Board of Directors set new financial targets.
Annual organic growth is to exceed 8%, EBITA margin is to exceed 12% and return on capital employed is to exceed 15%. All over
a business cycle.
Our flexibility, global production capacity and close customer relationships, together with a strong financial position, enable us
to invest in both new customer projects and bolt-on acquisitions. The foundation has been laid for increasingly profitable growth
over time.

CEO, Nolato AB

NOLATO AB THREE-MONTH INTERIM REPORT 2025
First quarter 2025
• Consolidated sales totaled SEK 2,453 million (2,442) which,
adjusted for currency, was a decrease of 1%
• Growth for Medical Solutions, while sales were lower for
Engineered Solutions
• Operating profit (EBITA) increased sharply to SEK 271 million
(238)
• EBITA margin increased to 11.0% (9.7), mainly thanks to a strong
performance for Medical Solutions
Sales
Consolidated sales totaled SEK 2,453 million (2,442); a 1% decrease,
adjusted for currency.
Medical Solutions sales amounted to SEK 1,397 million (1,355);
adjusted for currency, sales increased by 2%. Most market areas
experienced stable volumes. The Drug Delivery market area con-
tinued to grow on the back of increasing volumes for insulin pumps,
for example. After a protracted period of inventory adjustments
for Surgery, volumes stabilized from low levels. However, in vitro
diagnostics (IVD) exhibited lower volumes in the quarter. During the
quarter, an operating property was acquired in Poland in connection
with existing operations, to create opportunities for future expansion
in Europe.
Engineered Solutions sales totaled SEK 1,058 million (1,087). Adjust-
ed for currency, this was a decrease of 3%. As expected, volumes in
the Automotive market area decreased. Production volumes in the
area have generally been adjusted downwards and the quarter also
contained closed delivery days in some cases. Other markets had
stable volumes.
Volumes for Materials sharply increased year on year, with a full 12%
rise in sales, adjusted for currency. Good leverage for new products
and areas of technology in Automotive and new product areas is
resulting in increased market share and strong growth. Compared
with low volumes for network equipment in telecom in the first half
of 2024, levels increased during the quarter, which also made a
positive contribution.

ness, had a positive impact on the margin.

NOLATO AB THREE-MONTH INTERIM REPORT 2025
Medical Solutions sales amounted to SEK 1,397 million (1,355);
adjusted for currency, sales increased by 2%. Most market areas
experienced stable volumes. The Drug Delivery market area con-
tinued to grow on the back of increasing volumes for insulin pumps,
for example. After a protracted period of inventory adjustments for
Surgery, volumes stabilized from low levels. However, in vitro diag-
nostics (IVD) exhibited lower volumes in the quarter.
During the quarter, an operating property was acquired in Poland
in connection with existing operations, to create opportunities for
future expansion in Europe.
Operating profit (EBITA) for Medical Solutions rose to SEK 171 million
(140).
The EBITA margin for Medical Solutions was 12.2% (10.3). The busi-
ness area’s focus on profitability has led to a sharp increase in the
margin, of 1.9 percentage points. A margin improvement has been
possible in the US operations in particular, through cost adjustments
and focused work throughout the supply chain.
Sales for the last twelve months increased to SEK 5,476 million,
compared with SEK 5,434 million for the 2024 calendar year. EBITA
margin for the last 12 months increased to 11.3% compared with
10.8% for the 2024 calendar year.

NOLATO AB THREE-MONTH INTERIM REPORT 2025
Engineered Solutions sales totaled SEK 1,058 million (1,087). Adjust-
ed for currency, this was a decrease of 3%. As expected, volumes in
the Automotive market area decreased. Production volumes in the
area have generally been adjusted downwards and the quarter also
contained closed delivery days in some cases. Other markets had
stable volumes.
Volumes in Materials sharply increased year on year, with a full 12%
rise in sales, adjusted for currency. Good leverage for new products
and areas of technology in Automotive and new product areas is
resulting in increased market share and strong growth. Compared
with low volumes for network equipment in telecom in the first half
of 2024, these increased during the quarter, which also made a
positive contribution.
Operating profit (EBITA) for Engineered Solutions was SEK 107 mil-
lion (103).
The EBITA margin for Engineered Solutions rose to 10.1% (9.5). A
favorable product mix and cost adjustments, particularly in the Chi-
nese business, had a positive impact on the margin.
Sales for the last twelve months amounted to SEK 4,214 million,
compared with SEK 4,243 million for the 2024 calendar year. EBITA
margin for the last 12 months increased to 9.8% compared with 9.6%
for the 2024 calendar year.

NOLATO AB THREE-MONTH INTERIM REPORT 2025
Cash flow
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 135 million
(136) in the first quarter. The improvement in profit boosted cash
flow before changes in working capital. Working capital requirements
were, however, somewhat higher than last year, amounting to SEK
-182 million (-155), which had a negative impact. Increased activity
and sales at the end of the quarter compared with the end of 2024
have mainly resulted in higher trade receivables.
Net investments affecting cash flow rose to SEK 271 million (230).
Investments for Medical Solutions’ expansion in Hungary, for the
production of medical devices for administering medication to treat
overweight and diabetes, are continuing and have, as planned, led
to high investments in the quarter. During the quarter, an operating
property in Poland was acquired for SEK 69 million to enable future
expansion in Europe. During the first quarter of the previous year, an
operating property in Sweden was acquired within Medical Solutions
for SEK 141 million. Cash flow after investments, excluding acquisi-
tions and disposals, amounted to SEK -136 million (-92) in the first
quarter.
Financial position
Interest-bearing assets amounted to SEK 568 million (664), and
interest-bearing financial liabilities to credit institutions declined to
SEK 1,325 million (1,690). Net financial liabilities consequently fell
to SEK 757 million (1,026). There are also interest-bearing pension
liabilities of SEK 236 million (226) and interest-bearing lease liabil-
ities of SEK 179 million. Shareholders’ equity was SEK 5,561 million
(5,540). The equity/assets ratio increased to 59% (57). Adjusted for
the proposed dividend of SEK 404 million, the equity/assets ratio
amounted to 57%.

NOLATO AB THREE-MONTH INTERIM REPORT 2025
Personnel
The average number of employees during the period was 5,405 (5,552). The decrease in the number of employees was mainly
attributable to Engineered Solutions’ operations in China.
Events after the balance sheet date
No significant events have occurred since the end of the period, but geopolitical tensions are, of course, also affecting Nolato’s
business and its customers. It is not currently possible to foresee the extent of this or how long it is likely to continue, nor is it
possible to quantify its effects on the Group.
Significant risks and uncertainty factors
The Group’s and Parent Company’s business risks and risk management, as well as the management of financial risks, are de-
scribed on pages 67–69 and in Note 30 on pages 97–99 of the 2024 annual report.
No events of material significance occurred in the period that materially affect or change these descriptions of the Group’s and
Parent Company’s risks and their management.
Seasonal effects
Nolato does not experience any significant seasonal variations. However, the third quarter can be negatively affected by the
fact that the holiday period falls in this quarter both for Nolato and its customers.
Ownership and legal structure
Nolato AB (publ), Swedish corporate identity number 556080-4592, is the Parent Company of the Nolato Group.

NOLATO AB THREE-MONTH INTERIM REPORT 2025
Definitions - IFRS measures
Earnings per share
Earnings for the period that are attributable to the parent
company’s owners divided by the average number of out-
standing shares.
Operating profit (EBIT)
Earnings before financial income and expense and taxes.
Definitions - Alternative performance measures
Nolato presents certain financial measures in this report that are not defined according to IFRS. Nolato considers that these
measures provide valuable supplementary information for investors and company management, as they enable an assessment
of trends and the company’s performance. Since not all companies calculate financial measures in the same way, these are
not always comparable to measures used by other companies. These financial measures should not therefore be regarded as
substitutes for measures defined according to IFRS.
Average number of shares
The average basic number of shares comprises the parent
company’s weighted average number of outstanding shares
during the period. After dilution, a weighted average of the
shares that may be issued under the ongoing share warrant
programme is added, if they are in-the-money, but only inso-
far as the average listed share price for the period exceeds
the subscription price of the warrants.
Cash flow after investments, excl. acquisitions and
disposals per share
Cash flow after investing activities excl. acquisitions and
disposals, divided by the average number of shares.
Cash flow from operating activities per share
Cash flow from operating activities, divided by the average
number of shares.
Debt/equity ratio
Interest-bearing liabilities and provisions divided by
shareholders’ equity.
EBITA margin
Operating profit (EBITA) as a percentage of net sales.
Equity/assets ratio
Shareholders’ equity as a percentage of total capital in the
balance sheet.
Financial net debt in relation to adjusted operating
profit (EBITDA)
Interest-bearing short- and long-term liabilities, excl. net pro-
visions for pensions and leasing, with a deduction for cash
and cash equivalents, divided by R12M EBITDA adjusted for
any non-recurring items.
Net financial assets/liabilities
Interest-bearing liabilities from credit institutions less inter-
est-bearing assets.
Operating profit (EBITA)
Earnings before financial income and expense, taxes and
amortization of intangible assets arising from acquisitions.
Operating profit (EBITDA)
Earnings before financial income and expense, taxes and
depreciation/amortization.
Profit margin
Profit after financial income and expense as a percentage of
net sales.
Return on capital employed
Profit after financial income and expense, plus financial ex-
penses as a percentage of average capital employed. Capital
employed consists of total capital less non-interest-bearing
liabilities and provisions.
Return on operating capital
Operating profit as a percentage of average operating
capital. Operating capital consists of total capital less
non-interest-bearing liabilities and provisions, less
interest-bearing assets.
Return on shareholders’ equity
Profit after tax as a percentage of average shareholders’
equity.
Return on total capital
Profit after financial income and expense, plus financial
expenses as a percentage of average total capital in the
balance sheet.
Forward-looking information
Some of the items reported relate to future events and actual outcomes may differ materially. In addition to those factors
explicitly commented on, other factors may also materially affect the actual outcome, such as economic conditions, exchange
rates and interest rate levels, political risks, competition and pricing, product development, commercialisation and technical
difficulties, supply problems and customer credit losses.
