Highlights TELE2 INTERIM REPORT – FIRST QUARTER 2025 2 (29) ===== SIDA 3 ===== CEO letter Since stepping into the role of CEO at T ele2, I have repeated a core mantra to the organisation – we need to become faster, more agile, remove unnec- essary complexity and embrace a much stricter cost discipline. In short, we must return to our roots and the challenger culture that defined the original T ele2. This is the path to follow to deliver better value for money to our cus- tomers, become more resilient, and take control of our future. We are executing our transformation plan at high speed, and have taken some major steps in the right direction. An employee survey conducted in February indicated strong internal support for our new way of working, reinforcing my belief that we will succeed in our transformation. Financially, we start seeing impact of our transformation already in Q1. Thanks to topline growth in the Baltics and improved cost discipline across the group, we have managed to increase our Underlying EBITDAaL by 6% year on year. Due to a major cultural shift throughout the T ele2 organisation, we are evolving towards a much higher degree of cost-consciousness, systematically challenging all our purchases while also reviewing our 350 largest contracts. We have also started delivering on our ambition to simplify our organisation, including a workforce reduction by 15% over 12 months. More than 450 col- leagues left us during Q1 and up until mid-April when the new organisation took effect. While cost savings are a key driver, our primary ambition is to simplify our processes, prioritising the initiatives that matter most to our customers, while removing unnecessary complexity and intermediaries. These have been difficult weeks for everyone in T ele2. My thoughts are especially with the individuals personally affected by the changes. We are doing everything we can to support and assist them through this transition. I am deeply impressed by, and grateful for, the professionalism and focus the entire organisation has shown during this challenging period. Regardless of our transformation, our customers remain our first and primary focus. We consistently adapt to customers’ new behaviours and anticipate the technology evolution. Our Swedish Consumer revenue in Q1 has been impacted negatively by the decommissioning of our obsolete terrestrial TV service in December. Nevertheless, we are convinced it was the right move for customer experience and future growth. In the mean- time, we continue enhancing our digital TV offering: in Q1, we integrated the streaming service Max into our portfolio – a move that has been well received by our TV customers. I am confident that our network quality and the superior value for money offered by T ele2 and Comviq will make the difference on the market. In the meantime, we continue improving our ability to interact directly with cur- rent and future customers. As part of this improvement, we are expanding our own retail footprint. During Q1, we opened four new stores in Sweden, including our flagship store in Stockholm’s Gallerian. We also reached a major milestone in the development of our digital sales channels with a revamp of T ele2.se, where we now offer smoother and more intuitive sales flows. The new platform allows us to develop new features and offerings faster and provides a more dynamic customer experience. Defending our customers’ interests means standing by their side and addressing competition distortions in Sweden. We look forward to the Swedish Post and T elecom Authority’s (PTS) decision to ensure effective competition in the single-family housing market. That would be a significant win for Swedish consumers. Like many previous quarters, our three Baltic operations show impressive results in Q1, including a promising turnaround of our Estonian operation. This success is no coincidence. It is triggered by our Baltic colleagues’ ability to deep dive into customer data, anticipate needs and reach out with the right offers at precisely the right moment. Over the course of this year, we will deepen collaboration between Sweden and the Baltics – learning from each other and identifying further synergies. For the third consecutive year, T ele2 has been awarded an A rating in CDP’s Climate category, and we were once again named as Sweden’s most gender equal company by global ranking Equileap. These prestigious and rigorous ratings recognise T ele2’s continuous efforts to maintain its leading posi- tion amongst the most sustainable companies in the world. Of the many sustainability initiatives we took over the quarter, I am proud to mention our campaigns to protect children online and proactively block child sexual abuse material. Finally, I have also had the pleasure of welcoming four new members to the Group Leadership T eam: Peter Landgren, Petr Cermak, Karin Wadström Sjöstedt and Ove Wik. Each of them will play an important role in driving our transformation and continued development. We are now well positioned to deliver on our ambitious goals.

Items affecting comparability of SEK -287 (-187) million were mainly driven by redundancy costs related to workforce reductions. Refer to Note 3 for more details. Net interest and other financial items of SEK -231 (-252) million decreased due to lower financing costs for outstanding debt.

Capex paid of SEK -835 (-996) million decreased due to lower investments. Changes in working capital of SEK 525 (297) million were mainly impacted by elevated redundancy provisions related to workforce reductions and a seasonal decrease in equipment receivables, partly offset by SEK 90 million reclassification to amortisation of lease liabilities. Net financial items paid of SEK -159 (-181) million decreased due to lower financing costs for outstanding debt. Taxes paid and received of SEK 3 (-195) million decreased mainly due to a tax refund of approximately SEK 280 million. Last year included settlement of taxes paid of SEK 93 million relating to previous years. TELE2 INTERIM REPORT – FIRST QUARTER 2025 5 (29) ===== SIDA 6 ===== Financial guidance Dividend The Board of Directors of T ele2 are proposing an ordinary dividend of SEK 6.35 (6.90) per A and B shares to be decided by the 2025 Annual General Meeting on 13 May 2025. The proposal means that in total SEK 4.4 billion will be distributed to T ele2’s shareholders, corresponding to 100% of Equity Free Cash Flow generated in 2024. These SEK 4.4 billion will be distributed in two tranches of SEK 3.20 and SEK 3.15. The proposed record dates are 15 May 2025 for the first tranche of the dividend and 10 October 2025 for the second tranche of the dividend. If the Annual General Meeting accepts the Board’s proposal, the first tranche is expected to be paid on 20 May 2025 and the second tranche is expected to be paid on 15 October 2025. Guidance (unchanged) T ele2 provides financial guidance for the inherent year. The guidance for 2025 is low single-digit organic growth of end-user service revenue, mid- to high single-digit organic growth of underlying EBITDAaL, and around 13% capex to sales (excluding spectrum and leases) as our 5G network investments and intense customer-centric transforma- tion continue at a high pace. T ele2 confirms growth potential across all segments in 2025. The Swedish operations are expected to continue growing, with Sweden Consumer driven by new offers and propositions, offsetting expected headwind from Boxer’s discontinuation of terrestrial TV distribution, and with Sweden Business driven by IoT, SMEs and Large Enterprises. The Baltic operations are expected to continue growing driven by our strong market positions in Lithuania and Latvia alongside continued turnaround in Estonia. T ele2 has initiated a deep transformation to improve profitability by address- ing organisational complexity in Sweden and low profitability in Estonia and some parts of Sweden Business. Radical changes to improve efficiency are already in progress based on two key priorities: Simplify our operating model and organisation, and Rejuvenate T ele2’s smart, change and cost-savvy culture. In Q4 2024, T ele2 begun extensive group-wide cost-optimisations including an objective to reduce total workforce by around 15% (600-700 full-time equivalents) within the coming 12 months from the release of the fourth quarter report, subject to union negotiations. Financial policy (unchanged) • T ele2 will seek to operate within a range for economic net debt to underlying EBITDAaL of between 2.5-3.0x, and to maintain investment grade credit metrics. • T ele2’s policy will aim to maintain target leverage by distributing capital to shareholders through: – An ordinary dividend of at least 80% of equity free cash flow, and, – Extraordinary dividends and/or share repurchases, based on remain- ing equity free cash flow, proceeds from asset sales and re-leveraging of underlying EBITDAaL growth. Financial guidance T ele2 AB provides the following guidance for continuing operations in constant currencies. 2025 guidance (unchanged) • Low single-digit organic growth of end-user service revenue • Mid- to high single-digit organic growth of underlying EBITDAaL • Around 13% capex to sales (excluding spectrum and leases) TELE2 INTERIM REPORT – FIRST QUARTER 2025 6 (29) ===== SIDA 7 ===== Group summary Continuing operations SEK million Jan-Mar 2025 Jan-Mar 2024 Organic % Full Year 2024 END-USER SERVICE REVENUE Sweden 4,173 4,183 0% 16,919 Lithuania 688 647 7% 2,704 Latvia 360 342 6% 1,463 Estonia 182 168 9% 714 Total 5,404 5,340 1% 21,799 REVENUE Sweden 5,487 5,505 0% 22,607 Lithuania 973 974 0% 4,086 Latvia 486 482 1% 2,053 Estonia 239 226 6% 979 Internal sales, elimination -32 -34 -6% -143 Total 7,152 7,152 0% 29,583 UNDERLYING EBITDAaL Sweden 1,963 1,899 3% 7,837 Lithuania 467 404 16% 1,707 Latvia 217 199 10% 862 Estonia 62 49 27% 206 Total 2,709 2,550 6% 10,612 CAPEX Sweden 698 844 -17% 3,327 Lithuania 53 87 -39% 337 Latvia 49 45 10% 239 Estonia 23 39 -40% 170 Capex excluding spectrum and leases 823 1,015 -19% 4,073 Spectrum — — — Right-of-use assets (leases) 668 120 1,370 Total 1,491 1,135 5,442 Capex to sales (excluding spectrum and leases) 12% 14% 14% Capex to sales (excluding spectrum and leases), rolling 12 months 13% 13% TELE2 INTERIM REPORT – FIRST QUARTER 2025 7 (29) ===== SIDA 8 ===== Financials SEK million Jan-Mar 2025 Jan-Mar 2024 Organic % Full Year 2024 End-user service revenue 4,173 4,183 0% 16,919 Revenue 5,487 5,505 0% 22,607 Underlying EBITDA 2,308 2,219 9,123 Underlying EBITDAaL 1,963 1,899 3% 7,837 Underlying EBITDAaL margin 36% 34% 35% Capex Capex excluding spectrum and leases 698 844 3,327 Spectrum — — — Right-of-use assets (leases) 600 185 1,129 Capex 1,297 1,029 4,456 Capex to sales (excluding spectrum and leases) 13% 15% 15% Overview by segment Sweden T ele2 Sweden end-user service revenue remained unchanged in the first quarter with 1% growth in Business and 1% decline in Consumer. Growth was negatively affected mainly by increased decline rate in the Boxer TV business following the discontinuation of terrestrial TV distribution in the beginning of Q1. In Q1, and as part of efforts to supporting our digitalisation journey and creating even more focus on value and efficiency, we improved our mobile and fixed networks further by continued 5G and Remote-PHY rollouts, and enhanced our TV and streaming propositions by the addition of the global streaming service Max. Our 5G population coverage currently stands above 90% with close to 75% population coverage with high-performance 5G+. In January, Opensignal named T ele2 the winner of the 5G Availability award, supporting customer experience and loyalty. Underlying EBITDAaL grew by 3% driven by sharp cost control, whereas Capex excluding spectrum and leases amounted to SEK 698 (844) million.

Commercial activity was most pronounced on the mobile side, partially driven by continued challenges on the handset market. T otal end-user service revenue declined by 1% as growth in core con- nectivity was more than offset by the impact of migrating Boxer off the terrestrial network and continued decline in other legacy services. Mobile postpaid net intake was negative with 4,000 RGUs in this season- ally slow quarter, and as both T ele2 and Comviq executed price adjustments. Mobile end-user service revenue grew by 1% as growth in postpaid RGUs more than offset a decline of 7% in prepaid end-user service revenue. In Fixed broadband, net intake was positive with 1,000 RGUs while end- user service revenue grew by 5% through ASPU growth. Digital TV net intake was negative with 25,000 RGUs, entirely driven by Boxer. Digital TV end-user service revenue declined by 10% largely due to Boxer.

Uncertainty about global geopolitics affects the corporate segment in general and also our business. We were once again recognised in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Managed IoT Connectivity Services Worldwide, ranking among the top 15 in the world and the top 10 in Europe. Mobile net intake was positive with 19,000 RGUs in the quarter. Mobile end- user service revenue grew by 1% driven by IoT and RGU growth mainly in the SME and Public segments, partly offset by an IoT-related network outage. Fixed end-user service revenue declined by 3%, confirming continued gradual stabilisation. Equipment revenue increased slightly compared to Q1 last year due to a few larger handset deals. Sweden Wholesale revenue decreased by 2% during the quarter due to declining sales within A2P (application to person). TELE2 INTERIM REPORT – FIRST QUARTER 2025 10 (29) ===== SIDA 11 ===== Baltics Lithuania The market continued to remain competitive, with operators implementing price adjustments across segments. T ele2 announced changes early in the quarter, which took effect from March. The prepaid segment was signifi- cantly affected by the introduction of the SIM registration requirement during the quarter. We continued expanding our 5G network and enhancing quality to strengthen our value proposition. Net intake in the quarter was positive in mobile postpaid with 3,000 RGUs. Mobile prepaid was negative with 138,000 RGUs driven by a combi- nation of churn of inactive users, prepaid to postpaid migration, and signifi- cantly lower gross intake following the registration requirement. Mobile ASPU increased by 8% in local currency driven by customer base mix shift towards more postpaid, successful execution of our more-for-more strategy, and price adjustments. End-user service revenue grew by 7% in local currency driven by ASPU growth. Underlying EBITDAaL grew by 16% in local currency driven by end-user service revenue growth, cost efficiency measures, and deferral of costs until later.

Mobile operators were continuously seeking to protect and aggressively increase RGU market shares. Despite headwinds, T ele2 achieved good growth also in Q1 through increased focus on new sales and win-back activities. During the quarter, we also closed down 3G and reallocated the spectrum to 5G and 4G.

These measures are included in the report as they are considered important supplementary measures of operating performance and liquidity. They should not be considered a substitute to Tele2’s financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. Tele2’s definitions and explanations of these measures are described below, but other companies may calculate non-IFRS measures differently and these measures are therefore not always comparable to similar measures used by other companies. EBITDA T ele2 considers EBITDA to be a relevant measure to present profitability aligned with industry standard. EBITDA: Operating profit/loss before depreciation/amortisation, impair- ment as well as results from shares in associated companies and joint ventures. Underlying EBITDA T ele2 considers underlying EBITDA to be a relevant measure to present in order to illustrate the profitability of the underlying business, and as these are used by management to assess the performance of the business. Underlying EBITDA: EBITDA excluding items affecting comparability. Items affecting comparability: Disposals of non-current assets and trans- actions from strategic decisions, such as capital gains and losses from sales of operations, acquisition costs, integration costs due to acquisition or merger, restructuring programs from reorganisations as well as other items that affect comparability. Underlying EBITDAaL and underlying EBITDAaL margin T ele2 considers underlying EBITDAaL and the related margin to be relevant measures of the business performance since underlying EBITDAaL includes the cost of leased assets (depreciation and interest), which is not included in underlying EBITDA according to IFRS 16. Underlying EBITDAaL: Underlying EBITDA as well as lease depreciation and lease interest costs according to IFRS 16. Underlying EBITDAaL margin: Underlying EBITDAaL in relation to revenue excluding items affecting comparability.

T ele2 believes that it is relevant to present capex to provide a view on how much T ele2 invests organically in intangible and tangible assets as well as in right-of-use assets (lease) to maintain and grow its business that is not dependent on the timing of cash payments. Capex paid: Cash paid for the additions to intangible and tangible assets net of cash proceeds from sales of intangible and tangible assets. Capex: Additions to intangible assets, tangible assets and right-of-use assets that are capitalised on the balance sheet.

Management believes that equity free cash flow is meaningful to investors because it is the measure of the Group’s funds available for acquisition related payments, dividends to shareholders, share repurchases and debt repayment. Equity free cash flow: Cash flow from operating activities less capex paid and amortisation of lease liabilities.

Furthermore, economic net debt is considered relevant as it excludes lease liabilities, and thereby consistently can be put in relation to underlying EBITDAaL when measuring financial leverage. Net debt: Interest-bearing non-current and current liabilities excluding provisions, less cash and cash equivalents, current investments, restricted cash and derivative assets. Economic net debt: Net debt excluding lease liabilities.

Organic T ele2 believes that organic growth rates are relevant to present as they exclude effects from currency movements but include effects from divestments and acquisitions as if these occurred on the first day of each reporting period and are therefore providing an indication of the underlying performance. Organic growth rates: Calculated at constant currency, meaning that com- parative figures have been recalculated using the currency rates for the current period, but including effects from divestments and acquisitions as if these occurred on the first day of each reporting period. Reconciliation of figures is presented in an Excel document (Q1-2025- financial-and-operational-data) on T ele2’s website www.tele2.com. TELE2 INTERIM REPORT – FIRST QUARTER 2025 27 (29) ===== SIDA 28 ===== Other financial metrics Certain other financial metrics that are presented in this report are defined below. It is the view of Tele2 that these metrics provide valuable additional information to investors and other readers of this report. ASPU Average monthly spending per user for the referenced period. ASPU is cal- culated by dividing the monthly end-user service revenue by the average number of RGUs for the same period. The average number of RGUs is calcu- lated as the number of RGUs on the first day in the period plus the number of RGUs on the last day of the respective period, divided by two. Average interest rate Annualised interest expense on loans (excluding penalty interest etc.) in relation to average interest-bearing liabilities excluding provisions, lease liabilities, debt related to equipment financing, balanced bank fees as well as adjusted for borrowings and amortisations during the period. Capex to sales Capex excluding spectrum and leases divided by revenue. Earnings per share Profit/loss for the period attributable to the parent company shareholders in relation to the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the fiscal year. Economic net debt / Underlying EBITDAaL (financial leverage) Economic net debt divided by underlying EBITDAaL (rolling twelve months) for all operations owned and controlled by T ele2 at the end of each reporting period. End-user service revenue Revenue from end-users excluding equipment revenue. End-user service revenue is presented to provide a view of revenue attached to the custom- ers usage of services provided by the company. Operating profit/loss (EBIT) Revenue less operating expenses. RGU Revenue generating units, which refer to each service subscribed to by a unique customer. A unique customer who has several services is counted as several RGUs but one unique customer. TSR T otal shareholder return including change in the share price and reinvested dividends. TELE2 INTERIM REPORT – FIRST QUARTER 2025 28 (29) ===== SIDA 29 ===== Visit our website: www.tele2.com
