NOLATO AB THREE-MONTH INTERIM REPORT 2026
Comments from the CEO
Consolidated sales in the first quarter increased by 3%, adjusted for currency, in a persistently
challenging operating environment due mainly to geopolitical uncertainty. Our operations are
generally showing robust resilience, with an unchanged EBITA margin at 11.0% during the first
quarter, thanks not least to longstanding and close customer relationships. We are affected by
higher prices of input goods, although these are passed onto customers over time, which leads
to temporary effects for as long as the uncertainty persists. We are working tirelessly on the
areas we are able to influence, such as innovation, heightened efficiency, and a focused
approach throughout the entire supply chain.
In the Medical Solutions business area, representing 57% of the Group’s revenues, sales
increased by 5% adjusted for currency in the first quarter. At the same time, the EBITA margin
was 11.8% – slightly lower than last year. The start-up of new projects and new products that
have not yet reached planned volumes have a negative impact on the margin. Investments in
future growth are proceeding according to plan, through expanding our capacity in both Hungary
and Poland, and establishing operations in Malaysia. In terms of the Hungarian operations, and our
previously communicated major customer project, validation deliveries have continued, and com-
mercial volumes are planned from the end of the second quarter.
In the Engineered Solutions business area, net sales adjusted for currency increased by 1% in the quarter, from being negative in the
fourth quarter. The Consumer electronics market area rose sharply compared to last year driven by smart home products, while Hygiene
saw reduced volumes due to continuing inventory adjustments. Operations in Materials grew by a full 15% adjusted for currency. The
upbeat performance is explained by solid demand in new products and technology areas, chiefly for data centers, but also for defense-
related sectors. Volumes in the automotive industry fell slightly. EBITA margin for Engineered Solutions rose by 0.5 percentage points to
10.6%. A favorable product mix and a greater proportion of Materials, which now account for over one fifth of the business area’s sales,
made a positive contribution.
Despite an uncertain operating environment, Nolato continues on its strategic journey with increased profitable growth, both organic and
acquired. We are working continuously on broadening our offering and strengthening our relationship with both existing and potential
customers. Our global capabilities enable us to direct business and production to the regions that best meet our customers’ needs, and to
further advance our market positions. Our financial position remains very strong, with net liabilities in relation to operating profit (EBITDA)
that amounted to 0.5x at the end of the quarter, enabling an intensified acquisition agenda. Focus is on complementing our existing busi-
ness with expertise in new materials and technologies.
Christer Wahlquist, President and
CEO, Nolato AB

NOLATO AB THREE-MONTH INTERIM REPORT 2026
Definitions - IFRS measures
Earnings per share
Earnings for the period that are attributable to the parent com-
pany’s owners divided by the average number of outstanding
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 com-
pany’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 insofar 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 dispos-
als, divided by the average number of shares.
Cash flow from operating activities per share
Cash flow from operating activities, divided by the average num-
ber 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 bal-
ance sheet.
Financial net debt in relation to adjusted operating
profit (EBITDA)
Interest-bearing short- and long-term liabilities, excl. net provi-
sions 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 interest-bear-
ing assets.
Operating profit (EBITA)
Earnings before financial income and expense, taxes and amorti-
zation of intangible assets arising from acquisitions.
Operating profit (EBITDA)
Earnings before financial income and expense, taxes and depre-
ciation/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 expenses
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 com-
mented 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.
