2 Ratos Interim report Q1 2025
CEO comments on performance in the first quarter of 2025
Strong start to the year
In the first quarter, adjusted EBITA rose 32% while the EBITA margin increased and all business areas
reported improved adjusted EBITA. The completed reconstruction of Plantasjen already yielded results in
the first quarter. Adjusted for the composition dividend related to the reconstruction of Plantasjen, cash
flow improved year on year.
Ratos reports a strong result for the first quarter. The quarter
was characterised by numerous activities to streamline the
Group with the aim of achieving a higher operating margin, a
higher return on capital and more stable cash flow growth. As
part of these streamlining efforts, an agreement was signed
in March to divest airteam, which will generate approximately
SEK 1.2 billion for Ratos.
Net sales decreased by 4%, mainly as a result of discontinued
operations in Plantasjen and Expin Group as well as currency
effects. One less working day negatively impacted Industrial
Services. Product Solutions increased sales by 9%. Sales to
the defense industry have increased.
The completed reconstruction of Plantasjen improved the
Group’s EBITA in the first quarter, while the Group’s sales
declined due to store closures.
The business environment was characterised by economic
and geopolitical uncertainty and the effects of potential trade
tariffs, primarily with the U.S. However, Ratos has limited
direct exposure to the U.S. In 2024, 2% of Ratos’s net sales
were attributable to operations that are geographically based
in the U.S. The indirect impact of this is currently difficult to
assess.
Cash flow from operating activities was seasonally weak and
declined during the quarter due to the composition dividend
paid for Plantasjen. The majority of companies reported
positive operating cash flow. The return on capital employed
improved, and the balance sheet remains strong.
Development of Ratos’s business areas Development of Ratos’s business areas Development of Ratos’s business areas Development of Ratos’s business areas
Industry Industry Industry Industry
EBITA in the business area increased 2%. Adjusted EBITA
amounted to SEK 313m (307), with an EBITA margin of 11.6%
(11.3%).
In the Industrial Services segment, EBITA declined with 10%
and the EBITA margin amounted to 9.7% (9.9%) primarily due
to a decline in net sales in TFS as a result of a weak biotech
market. The calendar effect in the quarter, SEK -8m, which
had one less working day, primarily impacted Knightec Group.
The company is continuing to create significant synergies,
which is expected to continue in the second quarter.
In the Industrial Services segment, EBITA were adjusted for
non-recurring items totalling SEK -38m pertaining to
restructuring, with notice of termination served in the
logistics company Speed Group, terminations carried out in
the CRO company TFS and costs incurred to achieve
additional synergies in Knightec Group.
In the Product Solutions segment, net sales rose 9% and
EBITA 12%. The EBITA margin was 13.1% (12.8%). Year on year,
net sales increased and EBITA improved for all companies in
the segment. Overall, this was a good quarter for Product
Solutions.
Construction & Services Construction & Services Construction & Services Construction & Services
The business area reported a strong quarter, with EBITA up
14%. Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 337m (297) and the
EBITA margin improved to 8.2% (6.9%). The order intake
increased 122% (excluding Aibel). The order backlog
amounted to SEK 34,847m (27,916), excluding Aibel, which
has an order backlog of SEK 23,854 (33,836).
The Construction segment posted slightly lower EBITA, down
3%, compared with the preceding year. Currency effects and
costs for the creation of Sentia (the merger of HENT and
SSEA Group) resulted in increased costs, as expected. The
activity level within tenders was high, and Sentia reported a
significantly stronger order intake in the quarter and enters
the following quarter with a robust order backlog.
In the Critical Infrastructure segment, EBITA increased 27%
and the order intake increased 20%. Earnings improved in
Expin Group, and Aibel and Presis Infra continued to deliver
strong earnings. The order intake in the segment improved
year on year.
Consumer Consumer Consumer Consumer
The business area posted EBITA of SEK -127m (-194), an
improvement of SEK 67m. The reconstruction led to an
improvement in earnings of SEK 60m for Plantasjen in a
seasonally weak quarter with low customer traffic. Earnings
continued to increase for KVD, with the company’s EBITA up
from SEK 5m to SEK 11m in the quarter.
Earnings in Consumer were adjusted for non-recurring items
of SEK +157m, mainly attributable to gains from the
reconstruction of Plantasjen.
A A A A strong strong strong strong quarter for Ratos quarter for Ratos quarter for Ratos quarter for Ratos
The year began with a strong first quarter. The streamlining of
Ratos proceeded according to plan with the divestment of
airteam, and we see healthy growth opportunities for our core
holdings. As mentioned, the business environment is
uncertain, but Ratos has limited direct exposure to the U.S.
Combined with a robust order intake in the quarter, Ratos’s
strong financial position means that the Group is well
positioned for future growth despite these turbulent times.

Group performance Q1 2025
Net sales
Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 7,535m (7,825), down -4% year on year. The quarter included one less working day compared with
the previous year, which negatively impacted sales. Organic sales growth was negative and amounted to -2%. Sales for the Consumer segment
decreased SEK -121m during the quarter as a result of a decline in sales in Plantasjen due to store closures carried out in conjunction with the
previous year’s reconstruction. Currency effects had a negative impact of SEK -96m (-1%) on net sales as a result of the strong SEK. The
structural effect amounted to SEK 150m (2%) and was attributable to add-on acquisitions in the Product Solutions and Industrial Services
segments.
Profit
Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 474m (359) for the quarter, up 32%, and the adjusted EBITA margin increased 1.7 percentage points to 6.3%
(4.6%). The improvement in adjusted EBITA was attributable to the Consumer, Critical Infrastructure and Product Solutions segments. In the
Consumer segment, Plantasjen posted an improvement in earnings as a result of lower personnel and premises costs following the completed
reconstruction. In the Critical Infrastructure segment, Expin Group posted a fair improvement in earnings for the quarter. All companies in the
Product Solutions segment posted improved earnings. Earnings in the Industrial Services segment declined due to a calendar effect and a
weak market for clinical trials. EBITA were adjusted for non-recurring items of SEK +120m, mainly attributable to gains from the
reconstruction of Plantasjen. Reported earnings for the quarter amounted to SEK 594m (359). Net financial items amounted to SEK -153m
(-153). Net interest income improved in the quarter due to loan renegotiations and lower market rates. The Group’s financial items were
negatively impacted by currency effects and the revaluation of synthetic options.

Consumer
The Consumer business area and segment consists of KVD and Plantasjen. See Note 5 for segment reporting.
The reconstruction of Plantasjen was completed during the quarter and has yielded significant results. Plantasjen has reduced its
costs, liabilities and capital requirements. As part of these measures, 36 stores have been closed (including all of the stores in
Finland) and staff has been reduced, leading to expected annual cost savings of approximately SEK 400m. Lease liabilities have
declined by about SEK 1,500m. During the quarter, gains from the reconstruction of approximately SEK 230m were realised, which
were recognised as an item affecting comparability.
Net sales
The business area’s net sales for the first quarter amounted to SEK 722m (843), a year on year decrease of -14%. The decline was
attributable to weaker sales in Plantasjen due to store closures carried out in conjunction with the previous year’s reconstruction.
Plantasjen’s net sales for the period amounted to SEK 411m (552), down SEK -141m, corresponding to -26% year on year.
Profit
Adjusted EBITA for the business area amounted to SEK -127m (-194) for the quarter, and the EBITA margin was -17.6% (-23.0%).
Plantasjen reported an adjusted EBITA of SEK -138m (-198). Despite lower sales volumes, Plantasjen posted an earnings
improvement in the quarter, following its completed reconstruction, primarily due to lower personnel and premises costs. Earnings
were adjusted for non-recurring items of SEK +157m, of which approximately SEK +230m is attributable to gains from the
reconstruction and approximately SEK -73m is attributable to costs relating to the reconstruction in Plantasjen.

7 Ratos Interim report Q1 2025
Financial overview, Ratos Group
Cash flow Q1
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK -285m
(-137) and was negatively impacted by about SEK 200m due
to composition dividend paid for Plantasjen. Cash flow from
investing activities amounted to SEK -26m (-289). Cash flow
from financing activities amounted to SEK -239m (-328).
Cash flow for the period amounted to SEK -550m (-754).
The change in cash flow for the quarter was mainly due to
the change in working capital of SEK -1,016m (-884) as well
as add-on acquisitions and divestments of SEK 34m (-174).
Financial position and leverage
The Group’s cash and cash equivalents (including assets held
for sale) at the end of the period amounted to SEK 1,548m
(2,186 at 31 December 2024) and interest-bearing net debt
excluding financial lease liabilities totalled SEK 3,665m (2,815
at 31 December 2024). Excluding financial lease liabilities,
the Group’s leverage at the end of the period amounted to
1.5x (1.3x at 31 December 2024). The Group’s interest-bearing
net debt including financial lease liabilities totalled SEK
7,617m (6,820 at 31 December 2024). The Group’s leverage
including financial lease liabilities at the end of the period
amounted to 2.0x (1.9x at 31 December 2024). The total
translation effect of currency tied to interest-bearing
liabilities amounted to SEK -68m, of which SEK -2m related
to liabilities to credit institutions and SEK -66m to financial
lease liabilities.
At the end of the period, the Group’s interest-bearing
liabilities to credit institutions amounted to SEK 4,737m
(4,506 at 31 December 2024).
Net financial items Q1
Net financial items amounted to SEK -153m (-153). Net
financial items for the year were negatively impacted by
changes in exchange rates and the revaluation of synthetic
options. Net interest income was SEK 25m lower than in the
year-earlier period.
Tax Q1
The tax expense for the Group amounted to SEK 69m (50)
and profit before tax to SEK 411m (176). The effective tax rate
for the quarter was 17% (29%). Items affecting comparability
in the quarter of SEK +120m did not have any material impact
on the Group’s effective tax rate. The slightly lower effective
tax rate in the quarter compared with the Group’s nominal tax
rate (approximately 20%) was primarily due to the share of
earnings from associates and the capitalisation of loss carry-
forwards in the parent company.
Ratos’s equity
At 31 March 2025, Ratos’s equity (attributable to owners of
the parent) amounted to SEK 11,529m (12,270 per 31
December 2024), corresponding to SEK 35 per share
outstanding (37 at 31 December 2024).
Parent company
The parent company’s operating loss amounted to SEK -49m
(-51) for January–March. The loss before tax amounted to
SEK -397m (-43) and was negatively impacted by an
impairment of intra-group receivables of SEK -357m
attributable to the completed reconstruction of Plantasjen.
The impairment in the parent company did not impact the
Group’s earnings.
Cash and cash equivalents in the parent company
amounted to SEK 215m (246 at 31 December 2024).
The parent company has a related party relationship with
its Group companies. For more information, refer to Note 28
in the 2024 Annual Report. No significant transactions were
carried out with related parties during the year compared
with those presented in the most recent Annual Report.
Ratos share data
Earnings per share for the quarter amounted to SEK 0.76
(0.06) before dilution and to SEK 0.76 (0.06) after dilution.
The closing price for Ratos’s Class B shares on 31 March
2025 was SEK 32.16. The total return on Class B shares for
the quarter amounted to 6.9%, compared with the
performance for the SIX Return Index, which was -0.2%.
Number of shares
No new shares were issued during the first quarter. At 31
March 2025, the total number of shares and shares
outstanding in Ratos (Class A and B shares) amounted to
327,385,688 and the number of votes to 108,911,923.
Resolutions at the 2025 Annual General
Meeting
Information on resolutions passed at the 2025 Annual
General Meeting is available at www.ratos.com. The Annual
General Meeting resolved on a dividend for the 2024 financial
year of SEK 1.35 (1.25) per Class A and B share, totalling SEK
442m (409). The dividend was paid through Euroclear
Sweden on 2 April 2025. The Annual General Meeting
resolved on changes to the Board of Directors, with Gunilla
Berg elected as a new Board member and Ulla Litzén
declining re-election. The meeting resolved, in accordance
with the proposal from the Board, to introduce the long-term
incentive programme 2025/2029 for the CEO and other key
personnel, which will include convertibles and warrants.
Significant events during and after the
end of the quarter
The reconstruction of Plantasjen gained legal force on 18
February and is thus completed. As a result, Plantasjen has
reduced its costs, liabilities and capital requirements. The
expected annual cost savings are estimated at approximately
SEK 400m. Lease liabilities have declined by about SEK
1,500m.
On 18 March, Ratos entered into an agreement to divest
airteam to Nalka Invest. The purchase price amounted to
approximately SEK 1,700m (for 100% of the shares in the
company), corresponding to an EV/EBITA ratio of around 10x.
The divestment pertains to Ratos’s entire holding in airteam,
which amounts to 70% of the shares. The transaction is
expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2025.
airteam’s assets and liabilities have been reclassified to
assets and liabilities held for sale in the Group’s statement of
financial position as of 31 March 2025.

15 Ratos Interim report Q1 2025
Note 1 Accounting principles
Ratos’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS) and associated interpretations (IFRIC), as endorsed by
the EU. This interim report was prepared in accordance with
IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and applicable provisions
in the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The parent company
also applies RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.
In all other respects, the reporting and measurement
principles are unchanged compared with those applied in
Ratos’s 2024 Annual Report.
The new and revised IFRS standards which came into
force in 2025 have not had any material effect on the Ratos
Group’s financial statements.
Amounts are presented in SEK million (SEKm) unless
otherwise stated. Rounding may apply in tables and
calculations, which means that the stipulated total amounts
are not always an exact amount of the rounded amounts.
Note 2 Risks and uncertainties
Operations at Ratos Group include inherent risks attributable
to both the parent company and companies in the business
areas. These mainly comprise market, operational and
transaction risks and can include both general risks, such as
external factors and macroeconomic development, as well as
company and sector-specific risks.
The financial risks consist of liquidity risk, interest rate
risk, credit risk and currency risk. There are several financial
risks to which most of the companies are exposed, primarily
related to loans, trade receivables, trade payables and
derivative instruments. The risks to which the companies are
exposed are managed by each individual company.
Ratos is exposed to financial risks, mainly in terms of
value changes in the companies and liquidity risk. Ratos’s
future earnings development is dependent to a large extent
on the success of the underlying companies, which in turn is
dependent on, among other things, how successful each
company’s management group and board of directors are at
developing the company and implementing value-adding
initiatives.
A more detailed description of the material risks and
uncertainties to which the Group and the parent company are
exposed is provided in the Directors’ Report and in Notes 25
and 31 in the 2024 Annual Report.
Note 3 Financial instruments
Ratos applies fair value measurements to a limited extent and
mainly for derivatives, synthetic options, contingent
considerations and put options. These items are measured
according to levels two and three, respectively, in the fair
value hierarchy.
In the statement of financial position at 31 March 2025,
the net value of derivatives, Level 2, amounted to SEK -7m (9
at 31 December 2024), of which SEK 10m (12 at 31 December
2024) was recognised as an asset and SEK 16m (3 at 31
December 2024) as a liability.
In the statement of financial position at 31 March 2025,
the total value of financial instruments measured at fair value
in accordance with level three was SEK 1,109m (1,270 at 31
December 2024). The change is presented in the table below.
1) Pertains to liabilities attributable to assets held for sale.
2) On the transaction date for the sale of airteam, the call and put options pertaining to the minority holding in airteam will expire, which means that the
liability will be reversed against equity.

Reconciliations between alternative performance measures (APM) and IFRS
Ratos applies financial measures that are not defined in IFRS
but are so-called alternative performance measures (APMs).
The alternative performance measures presented are
considered to be valuable supplementary information for
analysts and other stakeholders for the evaluation and
assessment of the Group’s financial performance and
position. Ratos’s definitions of these performance measures
may differ from other companies and, accordingly, these are
not always comparable with similar performance measures
used in other companies.
The following reconciliations and accounts pertain to sub-
components included in the material alternative performance
measures used in this report. Reconciliation is made against
the most reconcilable item, subtotal or total provided in the
financial statements for the corresponding period. Definitions
are available at www.ratos.com and on page 22 of this report.
