S1-9 Diversity metrics
This disclosure requirement refers to the gender balance at top
management level (number and percentage) and the age distribu ‑
tion of the company’s employees in three groups: under 30 years
old, 30–50 years old, and over 50 years old. The aim is to provide
transparency on the diversity and demographic composition of
the organization.

S1-10 Adequate wages
Sectra operates in markets where working conditions are well
regulated through legislation and established labor market prac ‑
tices. The company operates in an international and knowledge ‑
intensive environment with intense competition for skilled labor,
and the remuneration of employees is determined on the basis of
the actual role, responsibilities and skills, while taking relevant
market conditions into account. Sectra applies market ‑based
remuneration levels and complies with applicable labor legislation,
collective practices and internal governing documents in all mar ‑
kets where the company operates. In addition, CEO instructions
explicitly require the management of the Parent Company and the
respective subsidiaries to comply with national labor laws and apply
sound personnel management principles.
The EU’s work on common benchmarks for living wages is not
yet fully implemented, and comparisons between the European
countries where Sectra operates have therefore not been established.
Within the Group, the majority of the company’s employees are
highly educated specialists and senior managers with remuneration
levels that clearly exceed statutory and practice ‑based minimum
conditions. The roles that could theoretically be subject to lower
remuneration levels are mainly certain administrative or support
positions in individual countries, where local labor market con ‑
ditions and entry levels are generally lower. Against this back ‑
ground, Sectra has not currently identified any indication that the
remuneration to employees will fall below what can be considered
a reasonable living wage according to the ESRS. Sectra has not
identified any material negative impact linked to inadequate salary
levels for its own workforce to date, but plans to continue examin ‑
ing this area in future reports.

S1-14 Health and safety metrics
Sectra continuously monitors health and safety issues in the Group
and plans to publish more data on this in future reports. The
company does not currently have a formalized occupational health
and safety management system based on recognized standards or
frameworks. Accordingly, 0% of the company’s own workforce is
covered by such a system. Instead, occupational health and safety
management is carried out through established processes and pro ‑
cedures in accordance with applicable health and safety legislation.
Employees
Percentage of own workforce covered by a health
and safety management system 0
Number of fatalities as a result of work-related
injuries and work-related ill health among other
workers at workplaces 0
Number of cases of recordable work-related accidents 6
Frequency of recordable work-related accidents 2.4
The above metrics refer to work‑related accidents within the com ‑
pany’s own workforce during the reporting period and are based
on reported incidents. Data is retrieved from internal systems for
Swedish units and through manual collection for international
units, which leads to some uncertainty in the data. Frequency is
calculated based on actual working time where available and other ‑
wise on estimated working time per FTE.
S1-16 Remuneration metrics
Sectra strives for diversity and gender equality, and to have clear
remuneration guidelines in place that promote equal treatment in
matters of employment conditions, remuneration and opportunities
for individual development in the workplace. The remuneration
offered by the company and revision of remuneration are to be
based on three parameters: Sectra’s financial performance during
the year, the individual’s performance during the year, and market
conditions. Sectra offers both remuneration according to fixed
remuneration levels and variable components such as various types
of bonuses where applicable.
The individual objectives, which are part of the evaluation of the
individual’s performance during the year, as well as the individual’s
role description, which also forms the basis for the evaluation, are
important components and tools to ensure equal and competitive
pay. A remuneration survey is conducted annually and reported
at Board level to further ensure equal and competitive pay. The
objective is for equivalent work to result in equivalent pay. If devi ‑
ations are identified, they are further investigated and actions are
proposed and implemented where necessary.
Average pay gap
The average pay gap is calculated as the difference between the
average annual salary paid during the fiscal year between men and
women divided by the average annual salary for men, expressed as
a percentage of the average annual salary for men. All employees at
all service levels within the Group have been included. The calcula ‑
tion was carried out using the average values regardless of degree of
employment and geographic location. Part ‑time figures have been
adjusted upwards to full ‑time equivalents to obtain comparable
figures. The calculation also took into account whether employees
had worked for the entire fiscal year or only part of it. The calcula ‑
tion method follows the standards in S1 ‑16.
There are risks linked to possible uncertainty in data collection
given the manual collection method, which always entails a risk
of errors. A reasonableness assessment was performed to address
these risks.
Average total pay (%) 25/26
Gender pay gap 11.49
Sectra’s starting point is that remuneration should be equal. The
reported unadjusted gender pay gap that arises at Group level is due
to the overall composition of roles and positions and the availability
of more male engineers. The Group strives for equal remuneration
and applies objective criteria when setting salaries. Pay data is
monitored to identify and address any differences in remuneration
for equal work or work of equal value.
Annual total remuneration ratio
This metric is calculated as the ratio between the highest paid per ‑
son in the company compared to the median salary of all employ ‑
ees. Sectra has collected figures for the entire Group regardless of
role, employment level and nationality. To enable the calculation,
only people employed in the last 12 months have been included in
the figures and underlying medians for the countries in question
have been used.
Only remuneration paid during the period has been included in
the remuneration. No severance pay has been included. The exist ‑
ing long‑term Group‑wide incentive programs did not result in any
actual payment during the fiscal year, and were therefore excluded
from the calculation. The exact amounts for the incentive programs
are determined when they expire, so their inclusion would not give
a true and fair view. The calculation method follows the standard
in ESRS S1‑16.
Total remuneration 25/26
Annual total remuneration ratio 17. 41
The ratio of median total remuneration excluding the highest paid
individual to the total remuneration of the highest paid individual
reflects differences in responsibility, position and remuneration
structure between different roles. The ratio is reported at an aggre ‑
gate level and should not be interpreted as a comparison between
individual positions.
S1-17 Incidents, complaints and severe human rights impacts
Sectra operates in countries with extensive labor legislation and
established mechanisms to prevent discrimination, harassment and
other human rights violations. During the reporting period, no
incidents or complaints concerning the company’s own workforce
were registered through the company’s formal internal reporting
channels, including the whistleblower function. Furthermore,
no cases concerning Sectra were reported to the OECD National
Contact Points for Responsible Business Conduct.
Given that no incidents or complaints were recorded, no fines,
sanctions, damages or other compensation were paid out during the
period, which is consistent with the information provided in the
financial statements.
The information is based on a compilation of HR processes, local
labor law records, internal reporting, and the company’s whistle ‑
blowing channels.
Sectra did not identify any serious human rights incidents (such
as forced labor, child labor, or human trafficking) in its own opera ‑
tions during the reporting period. The company’s zero tolerance of
human rights violations is stipulated in the Code of Conduct (see
ESRS 2).

Strategy
SBM-2 Interests and views of stakeholders
Dialogues are continually held with customers and end ‑users as
part of customer relationships and project implementation. Dia ‑
logues are structured through documented work methods that are
integrated into the Group’s management system. These dialogues
also cover issues concerning respect for fundamental rights such
as privacy and data protection. Where necessary, relevant func ‑
tions are involved to ensure appropriate handling, feedback and
follow‑up.
Insights from the dialogues are used to further develop the
business model, products and long ‑term strategy. Requirements
or views not addressed by existing processes are analyzed and, if
deemed significant, may lead to updates to work methods and gov ‑
ernance practices following a decision by the relevant management.
Sectra also monitors customer ‑centric activities through internal
result indicators, such as customer visits per employee and year.
For further information on how the interests and views of
customers and end‑users are taken into account, see ESRS 2 on
page 91.
SBM-3 Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their
interaction with strategy and business model
The groups likely to experience material impacts include patients
whose sensitive personal data is processed in the systems we provide
to our customers, healthcare personnel who depend on reliable
information for healthcare decisions, and users of our classified
communication and information security solutions. Potential neg ‑
ative impacts mainly relate to the risk of privacy breaches and data
protection risks, especially as some products process sensitive and,
in some cases, classified information.
Risks, such as cyberthreats, can be external and recurring, while
there are also risks related to individual incidents or business
relationships. A changed global situation and increased regulation
mean increased demands for proactive security work and incident
management, which affects both customers and suppliers in critical
operations. Sectra’s customers operate critical societal functions,
which means that they are extremely dependent on the mainte ‑
nance of the systems’ security and their ability to handle informa ‑
tion as well as on ongoing maintenance of systems and hardware.
Sectra’s solutions contribute to a potential positive impact by
supporting efficient and secure healthcare and by strengthening
information security in critical societal functions. In medical
imaging IT, this includes access to and secure processing of medical
images and related patient information, which can contribute to
improved diagnostics and quality of care. In cybersecurity and
secure communication solutions, this means robust protection of
confidentiality, accuracy and availability as well as enabling secure
communication in organizations with strict security requirements.
The identified impacts are crucial to the company’s strategic
direction, including a focus on customer value, long ‑term quality
and information security and data protection as a matter of trust
where end‑user needs and requirements influence the design and
development of future products.
Business risks include cyberthreats, regulatory requirements and
trust risks, while business opportunities include a growing global
need for robust information security and reliable IT solutions
in healthcare and critical operations. Sectra is continuing to
strengthen its customer relationships in all markets by offering
high‑quality products and services with a high level of privacy pro ‑
tection in order to meet and exceed our customers’ high demands.
S4 Consumers and end-users
As a customer-oriented company, Sectra focuses on customer and
end-user experience, quality and satisfaction in both the develop -
ment and the delivery of products and services.
Two material sustainability matters related to end-users have
been identified: protection of personal data and privacy, where there
is a risk of potential negative impacts, and access to accurate and
reliable information, where the operations are deemed to be able
to contribute to a positive impact that simultaneously gives rise to
financial opportunities. This impact arises through Sectra’s prod -
ucts and services in medical imaging IT and cybersecurity as well as
through the value chain. It is closely linked to the Group’s strategy of
creating customer value through long-term quality, product safety
and secure information management.

Impact, risk and opportunity management
S4-1 Policies related to consumers and end-users
Sectra has Group ‑wide policies and governing documents that
describe how the operations manage risks and opportunities for
customers and end‑users, primarily regarding the protection of
personal data and privacy as well as access to accurate, reliable
and secure information. Key policies are the Information Security
Policy, the Data Protection Policy, the Quality Policy and related
governing documents. These aim to ensure the confidentiality,
accuracy and availability of information, meet data protection and
information security requirements, and ensure patient safety and
customer satisfaction. The policies apply to the whole Group and
cover its own operations as well as applicable parts of the value
chain where relevant.
The policies are available internally via Sectra’s management sys ‑
tem and, where applicable, for business partners. They apply to the
entire Group with no identified exceptions, and the company has
not currently adopted specific policies covering all sustainability
matters related to affected communities.
Information Security Policy
The Information Security Policy describes at an overall level how
Sectra addresses and is to manage the confidentiality, accuracy
and availability of customers’ information. The policy includes
objectives for how Sectra is to achieve a high level of information
security.
Data Protection Policy
The Data Protection Policy aims to ensure that the Group protects
customers, employees, other individuals and the organization by
complying with the regulations and requirements in effect in both
the EU/EEA and other parts of the world. The policy introduces
existing frameworks, clarifies the delegation of responsibility for
complying with existing regulations, and makes it clear that specific
training is needed to meet legal requirements in different regions.
Quality Policies
Sectra has two Quality Policies: one for the secure communications
operations and one for the medical imaging IT operations. What
they both have in common is an overall description of the objec ‑
tives that the operations are to work towards in order to deliver
high‑quality products and meet customer requirements. Examples
of this are clear expectations regarding high security levels (in
secure communications) and an emphasis on close cooperation
with the customer (in medical imaging IT).
AI Policy
The AI Policy aims to ensure that the use, development and intro ‑
duction of AI in the Group are conducted in a responsible, safe
and legal manner. The policy clarifies ethical principles, key risks,
responsibilities, and requirements for compliance with applicable
regulations and internal processes when using AI tools and in the
development of internal solutions and AI in products.
Compliance
Compliance is monitored through internal procedures that are
clearly described in our customer relationship process, which
include controls as well as escalation paths and feedback procedures.
In addition, training of customer‑facing personnel is held on an
ongoing basis within the framework of the Group’s management
system. The policies are based on international guidelines and appli ‑
cable information security requirements. When formulating and
updating policies, the interests of key stakeholders are primarily
taken into account, including customers and end ‑users, regulatory
authorities and external auditors. The subject matter and require ‑
ments of the policies are influenced by customer and user demands
in terms of information security, data protection and reliable infor ‑
mation, while regulatory requirements and external audits ensure
that policies are designed in line with applicable legislation and
accepted standards. Basic training in data protection and personal
data processing is mandatory, and relevant functions support the
operations in their compliance efforts through measures including
advice and follow‑up. Deviations related to policy commitments
can be reported via the whistleblower function. For further infor ‑
mation on the Whistleblowing Policy, see disclosure G1 ‑1 on
page 109.
Sectra values innovation and product development that helps to
ensure that customers, patients and other end ‑users have access
to reliable information. By largely conducting development work
in‑house and bearing development costs internally, the Group can
direct its development towards long ‑term customer value, quality
and secure information management.
Sectra’s commitments to customers include the right to privacy,
data protection, non‑discrimination, and secure access to infor ‑
mation. This is reflected in the Information Security Policy, Data
Protection Policy and AI Policy, which address the aforementioned
commitments, as well as in the Quality Policies, which describe
how Sectra is to deliver products with secure access to informa ‑
tion. Compliance is ensured through risk management, protective
measures, incident management procedures and remediation mech ‑
anisms, including processes to investigate and address identified
shortcomings and opportunities for feedback in customer relation ‑
ships and delivery commitments, where relevant.
For further information on policies, external regulations and gov ‑
ernance related to information security, see ESRS 2 on page 84.
S4-4 Actions and strategies for consumers and end-users
Sectra carries out a number of activities based on the Group’s estab ‑
lished policies, processes and management systems. Products and
services are developed, delivered and monitored according to docu ‑
mented and standardized procedures aimed at preventing negative
impacts and maintaining a high level of information security, data
protection and—in relevant parts of the business—patient safety.
Incidents are systematically addressed through reporting, investi ‑
gation and root cause analysis as well as corrective and preventive
actions where necessary. Roles in safety ‑critical functions are
covered by confidentiality agreements, security checks and specific
training to ensure competence, customer requirements and access
to quality information through accurate products and deliveries.
Views and complaints from customers and users are received
through regular customer and support channels, as described in
Sectra’s customer relationship process. Privacy, data protection and
information security issues are handled according to established
incident and deviation response processes, including assessments
of severity, escalation to relevant functions, and decisions on cor ‑
rective/preventive actions. Feedback is provided through customer
dialogues and delivery commitments.
Sectra works proactively to enhance positive impacts by involving
its customers and users during relevant stages of development and
implementation, and by promoting a customer ‑oriented culture.
Recruitment and training of customer ‑facing employees are
monitored within Sectra’s Talent Management System. We consult
with our customers on the continuous improvement of the quality,

safety and development of our products. These are prioritized
activities that contribute to trust and long ‑term customer relation ‑
ships according to our established customer relationship process.
The work is financed as part of our normal operations through
ongoing operating expenditure. Effectiveness is monitored through
customer dialogues, internal controls, external audits/certifications,
and applicable regulatory assessments and approvals of medical
devices and safety solutions where approval/certification require ‑
ments apply. These follow‑ups and reviews provide a basis for
improvement and ensure that Sectra’s processes continue to support
high quality, information security and patient safety.
Since Sectra’s business is based on trust and long ‑term customer
value, the company has a direct business interest in minimizing
the risk of negative impacts on patients and end ‑users. Therefore,
privacy, data protection and information security are prioritized in
the design and administration of products and services, including
decisions on how data is processed and protected, as well as in
customer communications, marketing and sales.
When it comes to customers and end ‑users, no separate action
plans or specific ESRS key activities have been adopted. Instead,
work is carried out under the framework of the Group’s regular
business processes and governance. Should the circumstances
change, the need for specific measures or action plans may be
reassessed. The activities described above are thus part of Sectra’s
ongoing work, and disclosures on the scope of specific measures,
time horizons, follow ‑up and specific resource allocation are not
currently applicable.
Metrics and targets
S4-5 Metrics and targets
The overall target is to create significant customer value over the
long term. The operations also monitor indicators that reflect
impacts, risks and opportunities related to data protection, infor ‑
mation security and quality. These indicators include trends in
internal and external audits (including certification audits), the
number of security ‑related incidents (including incidents impacting
confidentiality, accuracy or availability), Quality Index, degree of
innovation, and customer visits by employees. These indicators are
not classified as Group ‑wide targets. Privacy and access to quality
information are not covered by separate quantitative targets.
Instead, they are addressed through the Group’s overall customer
satisfaction target and through operational processes for data
protection, information security and quality. No changes to targets,
metrics or methodologies were made during the reporting period.
Targets
Sectra’s targets linked to customers and end-users with a focus on
customer value, including privacy and access to quality information:
• A high level of customer satisfaction.
Result indicators
Results are monitored through ongoing customer satisfaction sur -
veys based on the Net Promoter Score (NPS) as well as external
and independent industry evaluations in medical imaging IT such as
Best in KLAS customer satisfaction surveys. The indicator is that
NPS ≥20. This helps Sectra understand customers’ perception of
the quality, functionality and ease of use of its products.
Result (Base value): 24 of 26 measurements are above the target
value (>20), Base year: 2025–2026
Methodology and assumptions
The target and result indicators are linked to the Group’s policies
on quality, data protection and information security, and cover
the entire operation. They are followed up on a quarterly basis in
a joint process extending from operating areas to Group Manage ‑
ment and the Board. Effectiveness is assessed through the devel ‑
opment of established key performance indicators as well as the
outcome of audits, compliance with applicable requirements and,
where relevant, regulatory assessments/approvals.
Sectra systematically monitors how measures in the areas of qual ‑
ity, information security and customer satisfaction help the com ‑
pany manage identified risks and opportunities. Targets pertaining
to customers and end‑users are set internally within Sectra. While
customers and end‑users have not been directly involved in defin ‑
ing the targets, their views and the results from regular surveys and
dialogues are used as a basis for monitoring target fulfillment and
for prioritizing improvements and development work.
Sectra conducts customer satisfaction surveys at least once a year
per market or area. The survey is performed by sending a ques ‑
tionnaire to all active customer contacts associated with active
customers who use Sectra products. In the event of deviations from
the target, action plans are developed and followed up. The process
is designed to ensure data protection and and compliance with the
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as well as to identify
areas for improvement related to information quality and secure
use of Sectra’s solutions.
===== SIDA 108 =====
Sectra’s Annual Report and Sustainability Report 2025/2026
108 ADMINISTRATION REPORT – SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
Sectra’s work related to information security and
data protection helps to address the company’s
sustainability matters under ESRS S4, which covers
privacy and access to quality information. By pro -
tecting sensitive information, safeguarding privacy,
and ensuring access to accurate and reliable
information, we maintain the trust of customers,
employees, and other stakeholders.
Sectra works continuously with information security, data protec ‑
tion and cyber resilience to meet growing regulatory requirements
and a changing security environment. Work during 2025/2026
included new governing policies and reporting procedures,
investments in certifications, and further development of quality
processes and preparedness. A new AI policy was introduced to
clarify what kind of AI use is permitted and what information can
be shared with AI services. Sectra also established reporting proce ‑
dures in relevant parts of the operations to ensure compliance with
NIS2, which took effect in 2026 and entails stricture requirements
for incident reporting and accountability. At the same time, several
new security certificates were obtained and additional certification
work is underway internationally.
Initiatives are being pursued simultaneously to strengthen quality,
compliance and project governance in the organization. These
include better product approval processes, increased focus on clinical
validation and introducing new ways of working as well as systems
support. Sectra also actively participates in work to strengthen
society’s civil and military defense through preparedness planning
together with the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration.
High information security
Sectra’s Information Security Policy sets out objectives to ensure
the confidentiality, accuracy and availability of information, both
our customers’ as well as our own. This means that we:
• Follow applicable laws, regulations and customer requirements,
• Maintain a high level of security awareness among employees,
• Have robust capabilities for preventing, detecting and managing
incidents,
• Ensure high availability in critical systems, and
• Have effective recovery procedures.
Confidentiality agreements are signed with employees and con ‑
sultants. Employees in classified roles undergo background checks
and special training to handle confidential defense information.
Sensitive information is handled restrictively and when necessary,
with specific access controls and logs. Sectra’s own secure solutions
are used for particularly sensitive communication.
Data protection
Sectra’s work related to data protection encompasses internal infor ‑
mation as well as the data handled in our products and services. The
Data Protection Policy establishes principles for processing personal
data, including individual rights, technical and organizational
safeguards, processing by data processors, incident reporting and
international data transfers. The objective is to ensure compliance in
all markets and to maintain a high level of trust in how we process
personal data. Data protection responsibility is allocated as follows:
• The CEO has overall responsibility.
• Operating area and business unit heads are responsible for
compliance in their respective areas.
• The Chief Information Security Officer is responsible for
implementing processes, controls and training together with
employees in the Operational Excellence function.
• The Data Protection Officer (DPO) monitors compliance,
carries out audits, and functions as a point of contact with
supervisory authorities and data subjects.
Mandatory training
Information security and data protection are mandatory parts of
onboarding for all new employees. This training covers general
information security and privacy matters. Recurring, market ‑
specific training is required for employees who process patient
data, such as the Australian Privacy Act (Australia), GDPR (EU),
the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, HIPAA
(USA), the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Doc ‑
uments Act, PIPEDA (Canada), and guidelines from the National
Health Service (UK). Completed training and activities are docu ‑
mented to ensure and demonstrate compliance.

on page 93, with business ethics and business conduct also consid ‑
ered as part of the overall assessment.
G1-1 Business conduct policies and corporate culture
Sectra has a corporate governance framework that guides employ ‑
ees in acting responsibly and ethically in accordance with laws and
regulations. This framework is a complement to Sectra’s corporate
culture, which strongly encourages each individual to act respon ‑
sibly. Sectra works systematically on business ethics matters, in
accordance with legal requirements and external expectations.
Code of Conduct
Sectra’s Code of Conduct sets out the basic requirements to ensure
that the Group’s operations are conducted ethically, legally and
with high quality. The Code describes the values and principles
that all employees are expected to be familiar with and follow in
their daily work and in business settings, and aims to prevent,
identify and manage risks related to corruption and bribery. The
Code of Conduct does not apply to suppliers since these matters are
addressed as part of the supplier evaluation process.
The Code of Conduct includes requirements for the responsible
management of company assets and confidential information, the
prevention of corruption and bribery, the management of conflicts
of interest, and principles for marketing, sales and fair competi ‑
tion. It also clarifies expectations concerning respect for human
rights and a safe work environment, and includes guidelines for
responsible communication, including the use of social media, and
requirements relevant to the operations regarding the development
of safe and effective products.
The CEO, together with the heads of the operating areas, business
units and departments, is responsible for ensuring compliance with
the Code of Conduct in the operations. Compliance is monitored
through internal controls, including internal audits and, where
appropriate, through reviews by external certification auditors who
Sectra has identified corporate culture, anti-corruption and
anti-bribery as material sustainability matters linked to business
conduct. These matters are considered material from an impact
perspective and concern the entire value chain. No financial
effects in the form of risks or opportunities related to these
sustainability matters have currently been judged by Sectra to
be material.
Through a strong and motivational corporate culture, Sectra
creates long-term value for customers, while promoting employee
well-being and innovation and enabling sustainable business rela-
tionships. Together with policies, procedures and processes, our
corporate culture is also an important part of how we prevent,
detect and address allegations of corruption and bribery.

evaluate the Group’s compliance with its own processes, policies and
procedures and identify any shortcomings that need to be addressed.
Suspected legal or Code of Conduct violations can be reported
to an immediate supervisor or the CEO, and can also be reported
anonymously via Sectra’s whistleblower function. Sectra engages
systematically with business ethics issues within its policy frame ‑
work and associated procedures in order to prevent, identify and
manage deviations, including risks related to corruption and brib ‑
ery. The Code of Conduct is reviewed regularly to ensure that it is
up to date and remains relevant in relation to legal requirements,
international guidelines and the Group’s operations.
Whistleblowing Policy
Sectra has a Whistleblowing Policy that covers all companies in
the Group and ensures protection for the individuals who report
concerns in accordance with applicable legislation, including
Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the
Council. The policy regulates internal reporting channels as well
as information and training initiatives for employees. Measures are
taken to prevent retaliation against whistleblowers and ensure their
anonymity and safety throughout the process.
The purpose of the Whistleblowing Policy is to ensure that
employees, managers and Board members can safely and confiden ‑
tially report suspected irregularities and serious misconduct without
the risk of retaliation. The policy contains clear procedures on how
to report. Employees are encouraged to contact their line man ‑
ager as a first step. If this is not considered suitable, it is possible
to report anonymously via a form, or to contact the head of the
operating area, the head of the business unit, the quality manager
or Sectra’s CEO. Health and safety representatives may also be
contacted in Sweden. Reports can be made both verbally and in
writing, and should be clearly marked as a whistleblowing case. The
whistleblower form, which is managed internally, is easily acces ‑
sible via the intranet and Sectra’s management system for internal
stakeholders, and via Sectra’s website for external stakeholders.
Reports are handled by an independent party within the organi ‑
zation, rather than by an external party at this time. Access to the
whistleblower function and the ability to raise issues with the work
environment committee are ensured through internal communica ‑
tion, policies and training.
Sectra does not currently have a separate overall strategy to reme ‑
diate adverse human rights impacts. However, the handling of any
breaches is ensured through compliance with applicable laws and
regulations as well as through established internal processes, such
as the Whistleblowing Policy and associated procedures, which
allow for effective responses in each case.
For further information on policies related to business conduct,
see ESRS 2 on page 84.
Governance of corporate culture
Sectra promotes a corporate culture based on respect for each other,
customers and other stakeholders. Simply put, we treat others as we
would like to be treated ourselves. Other features of our culture are
a strong sense of motivation and a commitment to solving custom ‑
ers’ problems as well as a constant effort to improve and advance
the company’s own operations.
Employees who are offered a permanent position go through an
extensive recruitment process, which is based on a comprehensive
assessment that combines tests of cognitive ability and natural
workplace behaviors with structured interviews based on a clear
skills profile. All candidates are interviewed by the CEO. One
positive effect of having a personal meeting with the CEO is that
this may facilitate future reporting of any deviations or problems
directly to management.
Sectra actively implements the following measures in order to
shape and develop its corporate culture:
• Structured onboarding and offboarding
• Regular dialogues and follow ‑up during the employee year
• Continuous employee surveys
• Skills and leadership development
• Customer visits
Structured onboarding and offboarding
Sectra endeavors to provide a positive employee experience during
an employee’s entire time with the company. Structured onboard ‑
ing gives new employees insight into Sectra’s value creation,
culture, processes and working methods, which creates the condi ‑
tions for a secure and effective start. Sectra also has a structured
exit process that includes knowledge transfer, feedback and system
access management.
Regular dialogues and follow-up
Sectra has a process for personnel management, which is included
in its management system. The process includes ongoing review
meetings, meetings to go over objectives, development plans and
performance monitoring to support both individual and organiza ‑
tional development.
Continuous employee surveys
Employees’ views of Sectra are gathered through annual employee
surveys, dialogues in accordance with the personnel management
process, and other regular reviews. This gives all employees the
opportunity to provide feedback on the company’s work environ ‑
ment, values and areas for improvement. Management and the
Board review the results of the employee surveys and identified
areas for improvement, which are used as a basis for further devel ‑
opment of the corporate culture and in performance reviews.
Skills and leadership development
The skills development process involves managers and employees
working together to identify development needs and draw up devel ‑
opment plans as part of their regular performance reviews, at least
once per year. Training programs, various certification programs
and supervision then help to ensure that employees and managers
have the correct skills for their roles and responsibilities. Sectra
offers leadership development programs for both new and more
experienced managers, during which Sectra’s leadership philosophy
is presented. System support is used when distributing and follow ‑
ing up on skills development, including planning and adminis ‑
tering training initiatives and ensuring they are aimed at relevant
target groups. Training measures are planned, administered and
directed to relevant target groups on this platform. The content
of the training is adapted to the operations’ needs to ensure that
employees have the necessary skills and training to do their jobs.
Customer visits
All employees, regardless of their role, make regular customer
visits. These visits deepen their understanding of customers’
challenges and daily work. They also encourage engagement and
customer focus.

Targets
Sectra’s targets linked to how the corporate culture is formed
and developed:
• Satisfied employees who are motivated, understand their
customers and feel a sense of well-being
Result indicators
The results are evaluated using the Corporate Culture Index indica -
tor in the annual employee survey. This figure should be above 3.5
on a 5-point scale. The results help Sectra understand employees’
perception of its corporate culture and whether this culture moti -
vates them to solve customers’ problems and drive improvements.
Result (Base value): Above target value (>3.5), Base year:
2025–2026
G1-2 Management of relationships with suppliers
Relationships with suppliers and other business partners are man ‑
aged in accordance with Sectra’s ethical principles and fundamen ‑
tal approach to business conduct. Sectra has identified a risk of
negative impacts in the supply chain, primarily linked to corrup ‑
tion and bribery as well as to climate ‑related impacts. These mat ‑
ters are addressed within the company’s governance, compliance
and ethical conduct processes. Sectra views suppliers as important
partners when it comes to minimizing potential negative impacts
while strengthening business value through high quality, compli ‑
ance with applicable requirements, and responsible conduct.
Supplier management strategy and processes
When purchasing needs are identified, supplier relationships are
managed through a Group ‑wide purchasing process to ensure sys ‑
tematic and responsible supplier management. The process includes
selection, approval and follow ‑up.
Supplier evaluations involve the application of criteria related to
quality, business ethics, environmental responsibility, information
security and social responsibility, including respect for human
rights and working conditions. In this way, Sectra identifies and
manages both risks to its own operations and potential negative
impacts in the supply chain.
Supplier approvals are based on guidelines that include compli ‑
ance with fundamental principles in line with the Group’s Code
of Conduct and policies, including compliance with international
norms and standards on business ethics, working conditions,
the environment and human rights. The requirements are either
regulated in agreement terms or taken into account when selecting
suppliers and partners.
Follow‑up includes the management of identified deviations from
stated requirements. This may include a dialogue with the supplier,
requiring corrective action or, if necessary, terminating the part ‑
nership. Regular risk and compliance follow ‑up is carried out for
suppliers of products or services considered to be business ‑critical
at a medium or high level in the supplier assessment. The supplier
management process is regularly evaluated and updated to ensure
that processes and guidelines are appropriate in relation to identi ‑
fied risks, material impacts and current regulations.
Late payment policy
The Group’s ambition is to maintain fair and responsible payment
practices towards all suppliers, including small and medium‑ sized
enterprises (SMEs). Sectra’s existing policies do not currently
contain any specific guidelines for handling supplier payments or
for preventing late payments. These aspects will be integrated into
relevant policies going forward, with the aim of clarifying the prin ‑
ciples of business ethics and responsible supplier relationships. The
objective is to pay invoices within the agreed time, which is in line
with industry practice. The majority of supplier invoices were paid
within the agreed time during the reporting period. In the event of
deviations, there are usually particular reasons behind them, and
Sectra then engages in an active and transparent dialogue with the
supplier concerned to find a solution.
G1-3 Prevention and detection of
corruption and bribery
Sectra has zero tolerance for corruption and bribery, which is
clearly expressed in the company’s Code of Conduct. The Code
prohibits all forms of improper influence—including bribery,
extortion, embezzlement and conflicts of interest—regardless of
whether they are directed at or originate from public authorities,
suppliers, customers or other external parties. These requirements
apply to all of the Group’s employees and Board members.
Industry-wide initiatives
Sectra is a member of the Swedish Medtech organization and
adheres to the industry ‑wide cooperation rules for interaction
between healthcare and industry, which aim to promote indepen ‑
dence and transparency and prevent improper influence. These
rules provide a framework that complements the company’s inter ‑
nal policies and procedures on business ethics and anti ‑corruption.
Business ethics and compliance training
Sectra has a training package that includes business ethics, with
a focus on anti‑corruption. The training package is intended
for the Group’s managers and employees. The aim is to create a
shared understanding of the Group’s requirements for ethical, legal
and responsible conduct in all areas of the operation. Training
is provided during onboarding of new staff and on an as ‑needed
basis based on the operations’ risk profile, with a particular focus
on the functions and countries where risks are deemed to be the
highest, which means that 100% of at ‑risk functions are covered
by the training. The Board’s expertise in this area is utilized when
recruiting new employees, and targeted measures are implemented
if needs are subsequently identified, which was not necessary
during the year.
Business ethics training covers Sectra’s Code of Conduct and
addresses topics such as payment practices, relevant legislation, the
work environment, competition law, marketing and sales, and the
protection and responsible management of the Group’s assets. The
training also includes relevant definitions, policy requirements,
Sectra’s internal whistleblower channel and procedures for report ‑
ing suspected violations, and clarifies the delegation of responsibil ‑
ity concerning issues such as corruption and bribery. The training
supports a strong compliance culture throughout the organization.
Within Sectra, the greatest risks of corruption and bribery are
deemed to be associated with functions that have external business
contacts and responsibility for major financial transactions. This
particularly applies to employees making purchasing decisions,
sales organizations and senior executives, where decision ‑making
mandates and commercial relationships result in greater exposure
to irregularities. Partner operations accounting for 3.8% of revenue
are considered to have a larger exposure to risks of corruption and
bribery. They receive ongoing additional training in this area in
order to reduce the risk of incidents.
Risk management and evaluation
Sectra has the same strict requirements for its external business
partners to reduce the risk of corruption ‑related incidents. Distri ‑
bution agreements with partners include a clause on compliance
===== SIDA 112 =====
Sectra’s Annual Report and Sustainability Report 2025/2026
112 ADMINISTRATION REPORT – SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
with the Code of Conduct. The agreements give Sectra the right
to immediately terminate the partnership in the event of violations
of these requirements. Sectra conducts regular risk assessments
and internal audits to identify and manage material risks related to
business ethics. The results are reported to management and the
Board, which are responsible for follow ‑up and refining policies
and procedures.
Controls and follow‑up are performed through regular audits
of subsidiaries and partners, with a particular focus on high ‑risk
countries or operations. In addition to these audits, targeted
investigations are performed in the event of suspected deviations.
The aforementioned whistleblower function, which guarantees
anonymity and protection against retaliation, makes it possible to
report suspicious cases.
Metrics and targets
G1-4 Confirmed incidents of corruption or bribery
No cases of corruption or bribery were reported in Sectra’s
operations during the reporting period. Nor have there been any
legal proceedings, sanctions or internal investigations linked to
suspicions of such irregularities.
Sectra’s anti‑corruption and anti ‑bribery efforts, including appli ‑
cable policies, controls and training, are described in disclosure
G1‑3 on page 111.

First place in global cybersecurity challenge
Sectra talents Alina, Freja (not pictured), Simon and Teodor won
first place in Call of the Cyber Duty in 2025, a global, gamified
cybersecurity challenge arranged by Microsoft’s Kusto Detective
Agency.
The challenge is based on solving complex data mysteries in
a narrative format, like an escape room but based on knowledge
of query languages. Teams had 42 hours to complete the entire
challenge. Sectra’s team completed it in just 11 hours and
33 minutes, making them the fastest in the competition.
The skills that led Sectra’s team to victory are the same ones
they use every day to improve Sectra’s solutions and support
our customers.

Sectra’s Annual Report and Sustainability Report 2025/2026
NOTES
Note 1 Accounting policies
Introduction
The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance
with the IFRS Accounting Standards published by the International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as adopted by the EU. In addi‑
tion, the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Corporate
Reporting Board recommendation RFR 1 Supplemental Accounting
Rules for Groups were applied. T o provide a better understanding of
each accounting area, the most material accounting policies are
described below.
In accordance with a Board decision on July 7, 2026, this Annual
Report has been signed by the Board of Directors of Sectra AB (publ)
and approved for publication. The Parent Company and consolidated
income statements and balance sheets included in the Annual Report
and consolidated financial statements are subject to approval by the
AGM on September 8, 2026.
The Parent Company applies the Swedish Annual Accounts Act
and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. This means that the EU‑
approved IFRS Accounting Standards are applied as far as possible
within the framework of the Annual Accounts Act and Swedish
taxation practices. The rules for measurement and clarification follow
IFRS Accounting Standards and are the same as those applied within
the Group, except that the arrangement follows the Annual Accounts
Act and may thus deviate from IFRS Accounting Standards in certain
cases. Untaxed reserves and appropriations are also recognized in the
Parent Company in accordance with Swedish law. Participations in
subsidiaries are recognized in accordance with the cost method.
Expenditures that are directly attributable to business combinations
are included in the cost. In accordance with RFR 2, exchange‑rate
differences arising on monetary items comprising part of a net invest‑
ment in a foreign operation are to be recognized in profit and loss and
not in other comprehensive income. When development costs are
capitalized, the corresponding amount is transferred from unrestricted
equity to restricted equity under the “Fund for development costs,”
and is to be recognized separately in the balance sheet. IFRS 16 Leases
has no impact on the Parent Company’s financial statements, since
leases are recognized in accordance with the exemption in RFR 2. The
costs for leases are recognized on a straight‑line basis over the term of
the lease. No rights of use and lease liabilities are recognized in the
Parent Company’s balance sheet.
All amounts are in SEK thousands, unless otherwise stated. Figures
in parentheses pertain to the preceding year.
New and amended accounting policies
applicable from 2025/2026
New and amended IFRS Accounting Standards that entered force
in 2025/2026 had no significant effects on the financial statements.
The accounting policies and calculation methods are otherwise
unchanged compared with those applied in the 2024/2025 fiscal year.
New and amended accounting policies
applicable from 2026/2027 or later
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements enters
into force on January 1, 2027, and an analysis of how it will impact
Sectra’s financial statements has begun. The new standard will be
applied as of the 2027/2028 fiscal year.
In all other respects, new and amended IFRS Accounting Standards
with future application are not expected to have any significant effects
on the financial statements.
Basis of preparation for the reports
Assets and liabilities are measured at cost or nominal value unless
otherwise stated in the notes that follow. The Group uses accounting
assumptions and estimates regarding the future, refer to page 126 for
information on estimates and judgments.
Consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the
acquisition method, and cover those companies in which the Parent
Company, directly or through subsidiaries, exerts a controlling influ‑
ence. This means that the Parent Company directly or through sub‑
sidiaries has an influence over the company, is entitled to variable
returns and is also able to exercise its influence over the company to
affect these returns.
Translation of foreign subsidiaries
Functional currency
The consolidated financial statements are presented in SEK, which is
the Parent Company’s functional and reporting currency. Items in the
financial statements for companies in the Group are valued in the
currency that is used where the company has its main operations, that
is, in its functional currency.
Transactions and balance-sheet items
Exchange‑rate differences arising on the translation of monetary
assets and liabilities at the year‑end rate are recognized in other exter‑
nal costs (with respect to accounts receivable and accounts payable as
well as contract assets and liabilities) or in net financial items (with
respect to loans to subsidiaries and cash and cash equivalents in
foreign currency).
Segment reporting
The identification of operating segments is based on the areas of
operation monitored by the Board of Directors and Group Manage‑
ment in the internal reporting, and on whether an individual seg‑
ment’s sales exceed 10% of the Group’s total sales. The Group’s opera‑
tions are divided into the following segments:
Imaging IT Solutions, Secure Communications, Business Innova‑
tion and Other Operations, refer to the description in Note 2.
All transactions between segments are conducted on business terms,
and are based on prices charged to non‑related customers in conjunc‑
tion with sales of identical goods or services.
Revenue
The Group often conducts sales transactions that encompass several
of the Group’s products and services (e.g. delivery of software licenses,
and service and upgrade services).
The total transaction price of a contract is allocated to the specific
performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling
prices. When determining the transaction price, the effects of variable
consideration and the existence of a significant financing component
are taken into account where applicable (see the Imaging IT Solutions
section). Variable remuneration is based on an hourly rate or price per
task, for example per examination.
In cases where revenue is recognized over time, the input method is
primarily used. Revenue is thus recognized on the basis of the inputs
required to complete the performance obligation. Key inputs include
labor hours expended and costs incurred in relation to the total labor
hours expected or total expected costs for completing the perfor‑
mance obligation.
Extensions or revisions that are not covered by existing contracts are
preceded by new negotiations and signing new contract documents,
including a complete assessment according to the five‑step model in
IFRS 15.
The Group recognizes a contract liability (invoiced non‑recognized
income) when payment has been received for an unfulfilled perfor‑
mance obligation, refer to Note 2. Similarly, if the Group satisfies a
===== SIDA 125 =====
125
Sectra’s Annual Report and Sustainability Report 2025/2026
NOTES
performance obligation before consideration has been received, the
Group recognizes a contract asset (recognized non‑invoiced income),
refer to Note 2.
Revenue recognized over time (primarily service deliveries) is
defined in all material respects as recurring revenue, provided that
the revenue is expected to recur for more than 12 months from the
reporting date. Revenue recognized at a point in time is defined in
all material respects as non‑recurring revenue.
Imaging IT Solutions
The segment’s customer contracts include various combinations of
deliveries of licenses, installation services, support and maintenance
services and upgrades, hardware, and hardware support and main‑
tenance. Significant integration and adaptation of licenses and instal‑
lation services normally takes place, which is considered a perfor‑
mance obligation and is to be recognized in revenue over time during
the installation phase. Support and maintenance services as well as
updates are considered a performance obligation according to the
contracts and are recognized as revenue over a period of time corre‑
sponding to the contract period.
A financing component exists when, for example, license and instal‑
lation services are delivered to the customer, who is entitled to pay
over the term of the contract. Interest rates vary from customer to
customer. Interest is calculated based on the remaining receivable
from the customer, recognized as interest income in financial items,
and included in long‑term accounts receivable in the balance sheet.
Performance obligations concerning roll‑outs, training, migration
of existing data, and other types of consultation are recognized as
revenue in conjunction with the work being carried out.
Contracts delivered in the form of complete solutions, such as
Sectra One Cloud, are growing in this category. Such contracts, where
the delivery pertains to a combined performance obligation in the
form of a service, are recognized as revenue continuously over the
contract period. Costs connected to the set‑up of the solution are
capitalized as other long‑term assets and recognized as a cost of goods
sold when the related performance obligation is recognized as reve‑
nue. Contracts may include a fixed number of exams that our systems
are to handle, or a minimum number of exams (a minimum obliga‑
tion). In both cases, revenue is recognized over time as the perfor‑
mance obligations are met. In rare cases, there is no minimum obliga‑
tion and the performance obligation is invoiced and recognized
continuously, over time, as the customer uses the service.
Secure Communications
The segment’s customer contracts include various combinations of
pre‑studies, installation and development services, support and main‑
tenance services, upgrades, and product deliveries. Pre‑studies and
development are recognized as revenue as the work is executed. Instal‑
lation services are considered a single performance obligation that is
recognized as revenue over time during the installation phase. Sup‑
port and maintenance services are considered a distinct performance
obligation according to the contracts and are recognized as revenue
over a period of time corresponding to the contract period. Product
deliveries are recognized as revenue over time or at a point in time
depending on the terms of the contract.
Business Innovation
The segment’s customer contracts include various combinations
of licenses, hardware, upgrades and expanded warranty offerings.
Licenses and hardware are considered a single performance obliga‑
tion and revenue is recognized at a given point in time when delivery
is made to the customer. Subscriptions concerning access to Sectra’s
systems, such as Sectra Education Portal, are recognized as reve‑
nue during the contract period. Upgrades are considered a distinct
performance obligation and are recognized as revenue over a period of
time corresponding to the contract period. Expanded warranties are
considered to comprise a separate performance obligation, with reve‑
nue recognized over a period of time corresponding to the expanded
warranty period.
Pensions and post-retirement benefits to employees
Sectra has defined‑contribution pensions only. Pension premium
payments are expensed continuously and are included in personnel
costs. Sectra has no other pension obligations and is not responsible
for any value changes in the paid‑in premiums. This means that
Sectra does not bear the risk when pensions are paid, and no pension
obligations are recognized as liabilities in the balance sheet. For other
remuneration of employees, see Note 4.
Share-based remuneration of employees
The Group has three performance‑based share programs. The pro‑
grams are recognized in accordance with IFRS 2 Share‑based Pay‑
ment and settled with equity instruments. The fair value of the Sectra
share on the allotment date, taking into account the vesting condi‑
tions, is recognized in profit and loss as personnel costs including
social security expenses. Examples of vesting conditions include
rankings in external customer satisfaction measurements carried out
by KLAS and earnings objectives. A corresponding increase in equity
is recognized in accordance with IFRS 2 since share‑based plans have
no direct impact on cash flow. The expected number of allotted shares
on each balance‑sheet date in the vesting period and the effect of any
change in previous estimates are recognized in profit and loss with a
corresponding adjustment of equity. For more information, refer
to Note 4.
Intangible assets and goodwill
Capitalized development expenditures
Sectra develops proprietary software and equipment in the fields of
medical imaging and secure communications. All research costs are
expensed directly, and customer‑related development costs are
included in project costs, which are expensed at the time of revenue
recognition. Internal development costs for standard products are
capitalized and recognized as intangible assets to the extent that they
are expected to generate financial benefits in the future. Additional
requirements for capitalization are that project costs can be reliably
estimated, that it is technically possible to complete the project, and
that the Group has the necessary resources to complete development.
Capitalized project costs include all expenses directly attributable to
materials, services and remuneration of employees. Capitalized devel‑
opment expenditures are subject to straight‑line amortization over
the period of use per individual asset. Amortization of capitalized
development expenditures commences when the asset is completed
and sales have commenced.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents future economic benefits arising from a business
acquisition that are not specifically identified and recognized sepa‑
rately. Goodwill is recognized at cost less accumulated impairment
losses.
Patents and licenses
Acquired patent rights are recognized at cost and subject to straight‑
line amortization over the assets’ ten‑year estimated period of use.
Acquired license rights are recognized at cost and subject to straight‑

NOTES
Impairment of intangible assets
For the purpose of identifying any impairment requirements, yields
are individually measured when the need is indicated, and annually
for incomplete development projects and goodwill. If the carrying
amount exceeds the recoverable amount, the differences are charged
against profit for the period on an ongoing basis as they arise. For an
asset that does not generate cash flows, the recoverable amount is
calculated for the smallest cash‑generating unit to which the asset
belongs. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s net selling
price and value in use. Value in use is calculated as the present value of
future cash flows for specific assets. The amortization period for
intangible assets exceeds five years if the asset is expected to generate
financial benefits, based on individual assessment, over a period
exceeding five years. Refer to Note 11 for a more detailed description
of the results of the impairment testing.
Tangible assets
Depreciation is based on the original cost and estimated useful lives.
Buildings 15–80 years
Office furniture 10 years
Equipment and office machines 5 years
Equipment at customer premises 3– 10 years, depending on the useful
life in each agreement
Leases
The Group’s leased assets comprise primarily premises and vehicles.
Leases with a term of 12 months or less or where the underlying asset
has a low value are not included in the right‑of‑use asset or liability in
the balance sheet. These agreements are expensed on a straight‑line
basis over the term of the contract. The liability is initially measured
at the present value of remaining lease payments over the term of the
contract. Discounts are at the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.
Financial instruments
Financial instruments include both assets and liabilities. Long‑term
receivables, securities holdings and other receivables, accounts receiv‑
able and cash and cash equivalents are recognized as assets. Financial
liabilities include accounts payable and lease liabilities.
Financial assets
Except for those accounts receivables that do not contain a significant
financing component and are measured at their transaction price in
accordance with IFRS 15, all financial assets are initially measured at
fair value.
After the initial measurement at fair value, financial assets are mea‑
sured based on the Group’s business model for managing the asset
and the type of cash flow the asset gives rise to.
Financial assets are classified in the categories of amortized cost, fair
value via profit and loss, or fair value via other comprehensive
income. In the periods included in the financial statement, the Group
has no financial assets categorized as measured at fair value through
profit or loss or other comprehensive income.
Long-term accounts receivable
The expected term of long‑term accounts receivable exceeds 12
months, and recognition is accordingly at the discounted amount
expected to flow in under the amortized cost method. Interest on
receivables is recognized as interest income in profit and loss.
Accounts receivable
The expected term of accounts receivables is brief, and recognition is
accordingly at the undiscounted amount expected to flow in under
the amortized cost method.
Cash and cash equivalents
The balance sheet item consists of funds deposited in banks and
similar institutions.
Impairment of financial assets
A loss allowance is recognized when an expected credit loss exists
under the original terms of the receivable. The IFRS 9 impairment
model uses forward‑looking information to account for expected
credit losses. Credit loss recognition is not dependent on the Group
first identifying a credit loss event. Instead, the Group accounts for
more extensive information in the assessment of credit risk and mea‑
surement of expected credit losses. When determining the expected
credit losses, the Group uses its historical experience, external indica‑
tors and forward‑looking information for the calculation.
Any impairment of financial assets impacts other external costs.
Fair value
The method for calculating the fair value of financial assets and liabil‑
ities is based on three measurement levels. At measurement Level 1,
fair value is calculated based on quoted market prices and instru‑
ments traded in an active market. At measurement Level 2, quoted
market prices are not available, but variables for the calculation of fair
value are obtained from market quotations. At measurement Level 3,
fair value is calculated based on data that is not available in the mar‑
ket. The Group’s financial assets and liabilities mainly belong to
measurement Level 2 and 3, refer to Note 30.
Cash-flow statement
The cash‑flow statement has been prepared using the indirect
method. Cash flows in foreign currencies are restated at the average
exchange rate. Change in receivables includes changes in accounts
receivable (including long‑term accounts receivable), prepaid
expenses and accrued income, and contract assets.
Important estimates and judgments and uncertainty in estimates
At year‑end, certain important judgments and estimates are made in
regard to the application of accounting policies that affect the carry‑
ing amounts recognized on the balance‑sheet date. Some estimates
that have a material impact on the reported amount are also uncertain.
Important judgments when applying accounting policies
Revenue recognition is based on contracts with customers of varying
degrees of complexity. Contracts with several different types of reve‑
nue streams such as services, licenses, hardware, upgrades or support
are considered more complex. Critical assessments are made of how
much revenue will be recognized and at what point in time. Com‑
pany management assesses how revenue will be allocated to each
identified performance obligation and at what amount, which is an
important judgment for revenue recognition. For additional disclo‑
sures, refer to Note 2.
Uncertainty in estimates
Impairment requirements relating to intangible assets are assessed on
an ongoing basis, based on the calculated recoverable amount per
cash‑generating unit. The recoverable amount is calculated as the
unit’s value in use, which consists of discounted future cash flows.
Estimates are based on budgeted anticipated growth and are calcu‑
lated at present value. Estimates regarding future cash flows may be
uncertain, which can have a material impact on the consolidated
income statements and the consolidated balance sheets. For addi‑
tional disclosures, refer to Note 11.

Long-term incentive programs
The Group has performance-based incentive programs (LTIP). The pro-
grams enable employees to acquire shares in the company. The incentive
programs are targeted at all employees, and the outcome depends on a
number of terms and conditions, such as continued employment during
the vesting period and earnings or sustainability criteria.

any category in any of the regions for each calendar year during the quali-
fication period.
For employees of the Sectra Communications Group, the Sectra Com-
munications Group must have, for every calendar year during the qualifi-
cation period, a) achieved an operating margin of at least 10% for the
2022/2023 fiscal year and at least 15% for the following fiscal year,
and b) achieved EBIT growth of at least 10% year-on-year.
Performance conditions LTIP 2024
For every fiscal year during the qualification period for participants in the
program who are not employees of Sectra Communications AB and its
subsidiaries (the Sectra Communications Group), Sectra must have a)
received a first place ranking in “Best in KLAS” (in any category) in the
employee’s region, if it is not the US, and in any category with the excep-
tion of PACS/Radiology for major hospitals in the US if the region is the
US, and b) received a first place ranking in “Best in KLAS for PACS/
Radiology for large hospitals” in the US.
“Region” refers to the region to which the individual belongs, based on
the KLAS regional division for the awards as of the date KLAS
announces the award. For employees in central functions in Sweden
(meaning Sectra AB, Sectra Imaging IT Solutions AB, Sectra Medical
Education AB and Sectra Orthopaedics AB) and employed outside the
regions applied by KLAS, in terms of performance conditions, Sectra
must have a) received a minimum of two first-place rankings in “Best in
KLAS” in any category in any of the regions during the qualification period
for each fiscal year, with an exception for PACS/Radiology for large hos-
pitals in the US.
For employees in the Sectra Communications Group, for each fiscal
year during the qualification period, the Sectra Communications Group
must have achieved a) an operating margin (EBIT margin) of at least (1)
15%, as regards the 2024/2025 fiscal year, (2) 17%, as regards the
2025/2026 fiscal year, (3) 19%, as regards the 2026/2027 fiscal
year and (4) 20%, as regards the subsequent fiscal years, and b) sales
growth of at least 10% compared with the previous fiscal year.
Interpretation of performance conditions
For LTIP 2022 and LTIP 2024, the Board decided in December 2024 to
adjust the performance conditions for employees in central functions in
Sweden as follows:
The performance criteria in the conditions that pertain to “employees
in central functions in Sweden (meaning Sectra AB, Sectra Imaging IT
Solutions AB, Sectra Medical Education AB and Sectra Orthopaedics
AB)” also apply to employees who work for central functions in Sweden
but who are employed in any of the Sectra Group’s other subsidiaries
other than the legal entities mentioned. It was noted that this interpreta-
tion applied as of January 1, 2025 for LTIP 2022 and from the start of
LTIP 2024.
Reporting of performance-based incentive programs
Costs during the fiscal year amounted to SEK 80,687 thousand
(63,501), which is recognized in personnel costs. In the balance sheet,
SEK 63,234 thousand (43,326) has been recognized in equity and the
remaining SEK 17,453 thousand (20,175) in provisions (refer to Note
23).
In the Parent Company, the subsidiaries’ share of costs are recognized
as investments in subsidiaries and an increase in unrestricted equity.
The aim of the performance-based incentive programs is to retain and
recruit competent employees, who are expected to contribute to the
Group’s continued favorable performance. The programs are to pro-
mote well-founded decision-making and desirable results in a manner
that corresponds with the company’s vision and values. The intention is
to increase the participants’ sense of investment in the company, which is
expected to be beneficial for the company in the long term. The programs
are to encourage increased ownership in the company, with the allotment
of performance shares taking place on the condition that certain perfor-
mance criteria are met. Increased partial ownership among the compa-
ny’s employees is expected to result in a stronger sense of loyalty to the
company.
Each participant is allotted an individual number of share rights, mean-
ing the right to receive a performance share free of charge provided that
the certain conditions are met. Of the total 1,814,582 share rights allot-
ted, 160,500 share rights pertain to the President and senior execu-
tives.
Employment conditions (all programs)
Participation in the programs is voluntary and available to all employees,
provided that they are or are considered to be permanent employees on
at least a 50% basis as of the date of the AGM’s resolution to implement
the programs. When switching between the Sectra Communications
Group and other companies in the Sectra Group, the criteria for the pro-
gram the participant is switching to are to apply as of the calendar year-
end immediately following the change. For every calendar year during the
terms of the programs in which any of the performance conditions below
have not been met, one tenth of all of the participant’s share rights will be
forfeited. For LTIP 2021, all savings shares must be retained during the
entire term.
Performance conditions LTIP 2021
LTIP 2021 comprises two different programs: one for employees in North
America (LTIP 2021 NA) and one for employees in the rest of the world
(LTIP 2021 SROW).
For every calendar year during the term of the program (qualification
period) for employees in North America, Sectra must have a) received a
minimum of one “Best in KLAS” award (in any category), and b) received
a first, second or third place ranking in “Best in KLAS for PACS/Radiol-
ogy for large hospitals” in the US or Canada depending on where the par-
ticipant is employed.
For employees in the rest of the world, in addition to the performance
conditions above, the employee must have deposited savings shares in a
deposit account specified by Sectra. One savings share comprises one
Class B share in Sectra AB. The number of savings shares is to corre-
spond to the number of share rights the employee has been allotted. The
savings shares are to be deposited during the entire qualification period.
For every calendar year during the qualification period for employees in
companies other than Sectra Communications AB and its subsidiaries
(the Sectra Communications Group), Sectra must have a) received a
minimum of one “Best in KLAS” award (in any category), and b) received
a first, second or third place ranking in “Best in KLAS for PACS/Radiol-
ogy for large hospitals” in the US.
For employees in the Sectra Communications Group, the Sectra Com-
munications Group must have, for every calendar year during the qualifi-
cation period, a) achieved an operating margin of at least 15%, and b)
achieved EBIT growth of at least 8% year-on-year.
Performance conditions LTIP 2022
For every calendar year during the qualification period for participants in
the program who are not employees of the Sectra Communications
Group, Sectra must have a) received a minimum of one “Best in KLAS”
award (in any category) in the employee’s region, and b) received a first,
second or third place ranking in “Best in KLAS for PACS/Radiology for
large hospitals” in the US. “Region” refers to i) for employees in the US:
the US, ii) for employees in Canada: Canada, iii) for employees in Europe
incl. Sweden: Europe and iv) for employees in ANZ: Asia-Pacific.
The research company KLAS Research has revised the division of
regions for the Best in KLAS awards. As a result, in June 2024, the
Board of Directors, supported by the Annual General Meeting’s instruc-
tions and the terms of LTIP 2022, resolved to modify the performance
criteria linked to Sectra winning Best in KLAS in accordance with the fol-
lowing: “region” refers to the region the employee belongs to, based on
the KLAS division of regions for the awards handed out each calendar
year.

1 Capitalized development pertains to internally generated intangible assets comprising proprietary software and equipment for medical imaging and secure communica-
tions. The remaining amortization period on larger projects is one to five years. The largest remaining project concerns the development of IT systems in Imaging IT Solu-
tions. The Group’s R&D costs in 2025/2026 amounted to SEK 438,519 thousand (407,954).
2 Goodwill is attributable to the acquisition of Sectra Products UK Ltd, EXP Analytics Oy and RxEye AB. Goodwill attributable to the acquisition of RxEye AB was impaired in
its entirety during the 2016/2017 fiscal year. Of total goodwill, SEK 45,760 thousand (46,905) was attributable to the Imaging IT Solutions segment and SEK 0 thousand
(0) to the Secure Communications segment.
3 Remaining values in patents and licenses pertain to SEK 28,329 thousand (4,421) in the Imaging IT Solutions segment and SEK 0 thousand (529) in Secure Communications.
4 Of total customer relationships, SEK 0 thousand (0) was attributable to the Imaging IT Solutions segment. These pertain to assets acquired from Sectra Sverige AB,
Sectra imaXperts BV, Sectra Products UK Ltd, it-mark ApS and RxEye AB.
5 Trademarks pertain only to the Imaging IT Solutions segment and are attributable to acquired assets in Sectra Sverige AB and Sectra Products UK Ltd.
6 Of the accumulated cost, 20.6% (17.0) pertains to ongoing development projects and 79.4% (83.0) to completed projects.
Impairment of intangible assets
An impairment test is performed on intangible assets if there is an
indication that an asset may be impaired, and on ongoing development
projects and goodwill at least once annually. The value of the Group’s
intangible assets is based on the value in use of the cash-generating
development projects and acquired companies. The value in use is based
on the cash flows that the assets are expected to generate. All assump-
tions described below have been approved by the Board.
Calculation of recoverable amount
Goodwill
Future cash flows for goodwill are based on expected synergy effects
in terms of the growth potential for sales for Imaging IT Solutions with
respect to Sectra Products UK Ltd’s products. The cash-generating unit
for goodwill pertaining to Sectra Products UK Ltd is deemed to be the
Imaging IT Solutions business area in its entirety. Sales of Sectra Prod-
ucts UK Ltd’s products are deemed to be an integral part of the total
business in Imaging IT Solutions.
Other intangible assets
The future cash flows used when calculating each unit’s value in use are
based on a detailed review of each development project.
Discounting factor
Along with a joint discount rate of 8.7% (8.1) after tax, each cash-
generating unit is charged an additional individual risk premium of 1.0
percentage point in the event that the technical conditions pertaining to
the unit are considered, in all material respects, to be new and an addi-
tional individual risk premium of 1.0 percentage point in cases where the
market conditions are considered, in all material respects, to be new.
Overall, the assessment is that the components included in the risk
premium are unchanged compared with the preceding year.
===== SIDA 135 =====
135
Sectra’s Annual Report and Sustainability Report 2025/2026
NOTES
Goodwill
A discount rate of between 8.7% and 10.7% (8.1–10.1) after tax was
used when calculating cash flows associated with goodwill.
Other intangible assets
The present value of forecast future cash flows for development projects
has been calculated using a discount rate of between 8.7% and 10.7%
(8.1–10.1) after tax.
Forecast period and growth rate
The forecast period when calculating value in use for intangible assets,
except for goodwill, is determined by the asset’s useful life of five years.
The growth rate is based on the market growth in Sectra’s individual
product areas. The forecast period in connection with the calculation of
goodwill has been set at five years. The growth rate assessment is based
on market trends and growth goals in the business areas. The variation
in assumed growth during the forecast period and thereafter between
the respective acquired companies and the various development proj-
ects is significant, which means that average values can vary consider-
ably between years. In cases where intangible assets are assumed to
have an indefinite economic life, perpetuity growth has been set at 0%
(0) under the prevailing external economic conditions, and for other
assets, individual assessments have been carried out to determine the
percentage by which the cash flow from each asset is assumed to be
decreased.
Other assumptions regarding required yield
Risk-free interest: Ten-year treasury bill on the balance-sheet
date 2.8% (2.3)
Market risk premium: 5.9% (5.8)
Company-specific risk premium: 0.0–2.0% (0.0–2.0)
Beta value: The beta value is calculated at 1.0 (1.0)
Interest expenses: Sectra’s assessed cost for borrowing
Tax rate: Tax rate in Sweden
The return requirement is between 8.7% and 10.7% after tax, which
corresponds to between 10.6% and 13.0% before tax.
Impairment tests and sensitivity analyses for the year
Goodwill
Impairment testing of goodwill for the year indicated that, as of the
balance- sheet date, there was no impairment requirement for the good-
will item attributable to Sectra Products UK Ltd. A sensitivity analysis in
which the discount rate increases by 2 percentage points and annual
perpetuity growth decreases by 2 percentage points results in the value
that exceeds the carrying amount being reduced by an average of 28%.
If growth during the forecast period also decreases by 2 percentage
points, the value that exceeds the carrying amount is reduced by a total
average of 54%.
No reasonable changes in key assumptions would give rise to an impair-
ment requirement.
Other intangible assets
Impairment tests for the year per development project and other intangi-
ble assets were performed with such a margin that Executive Manage-
ment deems that any reasonable and possible changes in individual vari-
ables will not cause the value in use to fall below the carrying amount. A
sensitivity analysis in which the discount rate increases by 2 percentage
points and annual perpetuity growth decreases by 2 percentage points
results in the value that exceeds the carrying amount being reduced by
an average of 19%. If growth during the forecast period also decreases
by 2 percentage points, the value that exceeds the carrying amount is
reduced by a total average of 29%.
Parent Company
The Parent Company had intangible assets amounting to SEK 9.6 million
(12.0) as of April 30, 2026.

Note 15 Acquisitions
On April 14, 2026 the Group acquired all shares in Oxipit UAB (Corp.
Reg. No. 304617386), a Lithuanian company specializing in
autonomous AI for radiology. The company had 17 employees at the time
of the acquisition. The company develops AI solutions for radiology and
holds the first CE Class IIB certification1 for autonomous AI chest X-ray
analysis. The product is designed to independently identify and filter out
examinations from the radiologist’s work list that can be deemed normal
with a high level of certainty. This acquisition strengthens Sectra’s offer-
ing in diagnostic imaging by introducing autonomous AI. It complements
the Group’s vendor-independent AI marketplace and its own product
development. The acquisition also brings expertise within clinical valida-
tion and regulatory affairs associated with AI-based medical devices,
which is a precondition for being able to use this kind of device in clinical
operations.
The total consideration transferred on the date of acquisition
amounted to SEK 19.4 million, entirely as a cash consideration. The pur-
chase was fully financed with Sectra’s existing funds. Transaction costs
for the acquisition amounted to SEK 1.3 million and have been recog-
nized as external costs.
The operations were consolidated into Imaging IT Solutions from the
date of acquisition, at which time Sectra obtained a controlling influence
over the acquired company. Since the acquisition date, the company has
delivered sales of SEK 0 million and an operating loss of SEK –0.1 million.
If the company had been part of the Group for the full fiscal year, sales
would have amounted to SEK 0.6 million and the operating loss would
have been SEK –19.6 million.

Impairment of inventory via profit and loss totaled SEK 1,734 thousand (217) in
2025/2026.
Equipment and components mainly used for development are reclassified as equip-
ment or expensed through profit or loss, depending on the estimated useful life of
the inventory item. Of the total inventory value, 0 is measured at fair value after sell-
ing expenses. Accordingly, the entire inventory is measured at cost since this value
is lower than fair value after selling expenses.

The reserve for expected credit losses pertains only to current accounts receiv-
able. No provision requirement for long-term accounts receivable or contract assets
(refer to Note 2) was deemed to exist on the balance-sheet date as a result of the
credit risk in the underlying receivables. Moreover, customers’ ability to pay when it
comes to long-term receivables and contract assets is deemed to be very good, and
the agreements are often unique in terms of their character and content, and it is not
deemed possible to classify them according to separate credit risk rating groups with
sufficient forecastability, refer to Note 31. Although the maturity of the credits
Note 19 Accounts receivable, cont.
are considered to have a low general predictive value for future losses, an individual
monthly assessment is conducted for each customer divided by maturity category in
each subsidiary. If any deviations from previous patterns are noted, a central follow-up
is carried out. Through this age-based division and two-step process, objective and
probability- weighted amounts are deemed to be achieved using reasonable and ver-
ifiable data, which is available on the balance-sheet date without unnecessary costs
or efforts, for past events, current circumstances and forecasts of future eco-
nomic conditions. Provisions for and reversals of bad debt losses are recognized in
other external costs in profit or loss.

NOTES
The earnings effect of impairment losses and reversals of previous impairment on bad debt losses was SEK –5,844 thousand (–959), net. No gains or
losses were recognized in any of the other categories. For cash and cash equivalents and other receivables and liabilities with shorter terms, the carrying
amount is considered to correspond to the fair value. In the case of receivables or liabilities with a term exceeding one year, the carrying amount has been
discounted. Other long-term financial liabilities have a term of three years.

Note 31 Risks, risk management and sensitivity analysis
Risks related to operations
Sectra’s risks related to operations are limited. As a general rule, cus-
tomers’ operations are financed directly or indirectly with public funds
and solvency is excellent, although payment practices can vary between
different countries. Because Sectra is active in a large number of geo-
graphic markets, the Group’s overall exposure to political and market
risks, for example, is limited. The largest individual risks related to opera-
tions are described below.
Customers and partners
Sectra’s five largest partners and customers jointly account for 13.7%
(15.5) of consolidated sales. No individual customer accounts for more
than 10% of consolidated sales. Although sales to each customer are
often divided among a number of agreements, the proportion of long-
term managed-services agreements has increased and, therefore, the
loss of a major customer could have a significant effect on the Group’s
long-term earnings and financial position. Due to the continuous expan-
sion of operations, the proportion of the Group’s business volume repre-
sented by each individual partner and customer is gradually declining.
Product liability and property risks
Through its operations, Sectra assumes product liability, which means
that personal injury or damage to property caused by the company’s sys-
tems at the premises of a customer or third party could lead to a claim
being made against Sectra. Insurance policies have been taken out for
the property and liability risks to which the Group is exposed.
Intellectual property rights
Sectra is a leader in the areas in which the Group operates and invests
substantial resources in product development. To ensure a return on
these investments, Sectra works continuously to analyze the require-
ments for different products in terms of intellectual property rights, and
to identify and protect inventions through patents.
Other business risks
The prices for medical systems in the world market are largely governed
by major international companies. Accordingly, the USD, GBP and EUR
exchange rates have an effect on the price structure and competitive-
ness. Other business risks, such as market risks, suppliers, technical
development, dependence on individual persons, cybersecurity threats
and ethical risks are analyzed continuously. Measures are taken as
needed to reduce the Group’s risk exposure.
Financial risks
Sectra is exposed to financial risks pertaining to currency, interest,
financing and liquidity risks. Rules and authority for management of finan-
cial transactions and risks are described in the Group’s Financial Policy,
which is determined by the Board. Responsibility for management of finan-
cial transactions and risks is centralized to the Parent Company’s finance
department. The aim is to support the Group’s business activities by
identifying and limiting the Group’s financial risks, providing cost-efficient
financing of Group companies and managing cash and cash equivalents
on market terms.
Currency exchange risks
The Group’s exposure to currency exchange risks mainly arises through
transactions in foreign currencies in the form of customer and supplier
payments and, to a lesser extent, in connection with the translation of
foreign subsidiaries’ income statements and balance sheets. In accor-
dance with the Group’s Financial Policy, subsidiary financing is to be

carried out in the local currency and currency exposure pertains mainly
to USD, GBP and EUR.
Operating profit for the year includes an exchange loss of SEK –7,183
thousand (–22,023) and net financial items include an exchange loss of
SEK –2,186 thousand (–23,811).
The Group does not normally hedge currency flows since the potential
gains or losses over the long term are not expected to be significant.
Sectra monitors payment flows in foreign currencies on an ongoing
basis, and hedging of transaction exposure may be implemented if the
expected predictability increases significantly.

Interest-rate risks
Changes in market interest rates could affect the Group’s earnings. The
Group’s interest-bearing assets are mainly short-term in nature, and
pertain to cash and cash equivalents invested at short maturities, which
can be liquidated at short notice in the event of major changes in the
general interest rate situation. On the balance-sheet date, the Group’s
interest- bearing assets exceeded its interest-bearing liabilities, as a
result of which a decline in interest rates had an adverse impact on the
Group and an increase had a positive effect.
Credit risks
The Group’s credit risks can be divided into risks related to the custom-
er’s ability to pay as agreed and counterparty risks in conjunction with
financial transactions.
Customer credit risk means that the customer fails to fulfill its under-
taking for payment of customer invoices. The Group has set guidelines to
ensure that customers have high credit ratings. Long-term accounts
receivable and contract assets are not yet invoiced and therefore have
no maturity history. These customer contracts are often unique in terms
of character and content, and it is not deemed possible to classify them
according to separate credit risk rating groups with sufficient forecasta-
bility, refer to Note 19. Sectra’s customers consist largely of govern-
ment agencies and other highly reputable customers with high credit
ratings, and whose credit risk is considered to be extremely low. To mini-
mize customer credit risks in fixed-price projects, Sectra makes exten-
sive use of advance partial payments.

Counterparty risks arise in financial transactions and cash management
in conjunction with the Group having claims on banks and other securi-
ties issuers. The maximum credit exposure and credit rating for
approved counterparties is described in the Group’s Financial Policy. To
minimize credit risks, Sectra only uses counterparties with high credit
ratings and invests in high-quality instruments.
Liquidity risks
To minimize liquidity risks, excess liquidity may only be placed in bank
deposits, or in securities that can be liquidated at short notice, and which
have a smoothly functioning secondary market. Unutilized bank overdraft
facilities are used in the event of temporarily elevated liquidity needs.
Overdraft facilities were not utilized during the fiscal year or comparative
year. The Parent Company monitors the Group’s liquidity continually by
compiling liquidity forecasts as a basis for investments or short and long-
term borrowing.
On the balance-sheet date, the Group’s unutilized credit facilities
amounted to SEK 15,000 thousand (15,000).
Sensitivity analysis
The Group’s earnings depend mainly on product sales and the cost of per-
sonnel and materials. The analysis below is based on the figures from the
2025/2026 fiscal year and how the variables named would have affected
profit after net financial items if no measures such as hedging or adapta-
tion of resources had been taken. Each variable is treated individually, pro-
vided the others remain unchanged. The analysis is not claimed to be pre-
cise, but is merely indicative.
Variable Change
Effect on profit
after financial items
Net sales/gross profit +/– 1% +/– SEK 30.4 million (+/– 28.0)
Cost of materials +/– 1% +/– SEK 5.0 million (+/– 4.4)
Personnel costs +/– 1% +/– SEK 17.7 million (+/– 16.0)
Interest rate levels +/– 1% +/– SEK 15.8 million (+/– 10.7)
Exchange-rate changes:
SEK/USD rate +/– 1% +/– SEK 3.4 million (+/– 3.3)
SEK/EUR rate +/– 1% +/– SEK 3.1 million (+/– 3.3)
SEK/GBP rate +/– 1% +/– SEK 2.4 million (+/– 2.4)
In the event that the SEK weakens by 1% against the USD, GBP or EUR, profit after
net financial items would improve by SEK 8.9 million (9.0).
Note 32 Asset management
The Group’s financial goals have been determined by the Board. The goal
is to have a favorable and flexible capital structure so that it can be
changed if the conditions for operations or for different borrowing alter-
natives change and maintain financial stability. The Group’s equity/
assets ratio goal is 30%. In the 2025/2026 fiscal year, the Group’s
equity/assets ratio was 47.8% (51.0).
The Group’s capital is defined as total equity less any positive
unrealized changes in value and amounted to SEK 2,138,357 thousand
(1,916,825) at April 30, 2026. Sectra’s operations have previously
been characterized by major seasonal variations during the fiscal year,
which is why the Board aims to maintain a healthy capital structure with a
low debt/equity ratio. In the 2025/2026 fiscal year, the Group’s debt/
equity ratio was 0.04 (0.05).
Note 33 Proposed appropriation of profits
The following funds in the Parent Company are at the disposal of the
AGM (SEK thousand).
Share premium reserve 134,851
Retained earnings 619,905
Net profit for the year 446,008
Total 1,200,764
The Board and CEO propose that the AGM resolve on an ordinary divi-
dend of SEK 1.30 per share and an extraordinary dividend of SEK 1.00
per share. This entails a transfer of a total of SEK 443,135 thousand to
the company’s shareholders. It is also proposed that SEK 757,629 thou-
sand be carried forward.
Note 34 Events after the balance-sheet date
No events resulting in adjustments or significant events not resulting in
adjustments took place between April 30 and the approval date for the
publication of the financial statements.

Note 35 Financial definitions and alternative
performance measures
The Group applies the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA)
Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures (see below). The Group
applies alternative performance measures since the company believes
they provide valuable supplementary information for management and
investors given that they play a central role when it comes to understand-
ing and evaluating the Group’s operations.
