These guidelines shall apply to remuneration that is agreed, and changes to already agreed remuneration, after the date on which the guidelines were adopted by the AGM. In this context, the term senior executives refers to the CEO of Volati AB and the other members of Group management. The guidelines’ promotion of the Company’s business strategy, long- term interests and sustainability Volati’s business strategy, in brief, is aimed at creating value by acquiring companies with proven business models, leading market positions and strong cash flows at reasonable valuations, and developing them with a focus on long-term value creation. More detailed information about Volati’s strategic priorities is provided in the Company’s annual report and on the Company’s website. Successful implementation of Volati’s business strategy and safeguarding of its long-term interests is dependent on Volati being able to recruit, develop and retain senior executives with relevant experience, expertise and qualified leadership skills. It is therefore important for Volati to be able to offer its senior executives a competitive total remuneration. On this basis, the Company shall endeavour to offer its senior executives conditions that are market- based and motivating, as well as well-balanced and reasonable based on the competence, responsibility and performance of the senior executives. The remuneration guidelines are intended to provide a clear framework for remuneration of Volati’s senior executives so that conditions can be formulated that benefit Volati’s business strategy and long-term interests, including its sustainability, lasting growth and profitability. Forms of remuneration Remuneration may take the following forms: • Fixed cash remuneration • Variable cash remuneration • Pension benefits • Other benefits Guidelines for fixed remuneration Each senior executive shall receive fixed cash remuneration, i.e. a fixed monthly basic salary. This represents foreseeable remuneration that contributes to attracting and retaining qualified employees. Senior executives’ fixed remuneration must be competitive and based on the individual’s experience, area of responsibility and performance. 160 Volati Annual Report 2025 Notes – Group ===== SIDA 162 ===== Guidelines for variable remuneration Senior executives may receive variable remu- neration in addition to fixed remuneration. Variable remuneration shall be linked to pre-defined targets and measurable criteria that can be financial or non- financial. The targets and criteria should be designed to promote Volati’s business strategy, long-term interests and sustainability by having a clear connec- tion to Volati’s business objectives and/or strategies. For variable remuneration, limits for the maximum payment shall be set for each individual senior executive concerned. Variable remuneration is paid in arrears and is conditional on the fulfilment of the linked targets or criteria. It shall also be shown to be sustainable in the long term and shall not have any material detrimental effect on Volati’s position. The AGM may also decide that variable remunera- tion will take the form of share-based payment in both the Company and its subsidiaries. In addition to promoting the Company’s business strategy, long-term interests and sustainability, share-based payment must be designed to achieve an increased community of interests between senior executives and the Company’s shareholders. Whether the agreed targets or criteria for variable remuneration have been achieved will be determined when the relevant measurement period has ended. The Board is responsible for any evaluation of variable remuneration paid to the CEO. The CEO is respon- sible for any evaluation of variable remuneration paid to the senior executive concerned. For financial targets, the evaluation shall be based on Volati’s most recently published financial information. For each senior executive concerned, variable remuneration may represent a maximum of 25 percent of the fixed remuneration and, if full variable remuneration, pension benefits and other benefits are paid, a maximum of 14 percent of the total remuneration. Guidelines for pension benefits Pension benefits shall generally be paid in accord- ance with rules, collective agreements (which may involve a right to early retirement), and, if relevant, practice in the country where the senior executive resides permanently. This represents foreseeable remuneration that contributes to attracting and retaining qualified employees. Pension benefits shall be defined-contribution, unless the individual in question is covered by a defined-benefit pension in accordance with compulsory collective agreement provisions. Pension benefits are vested when they have accrued. Variable remuneration shall only form the basis for pension benefits if it follows from compulsory collective agreement rules. For each senior executive concerned, defined- contribution pension benefits may represent a maximum of 33 percent of the fixed remuneration and, if full variable remuneration, pension benefits and other benefits are paid, a maximum of 19 percent of the total remuneration. Guidelines for other benefits Senior executives may be entitled to both general benefits offered to all employees and additional benefits. The benefits contribute to attracting and retaining qualified employees. Examples of other benefits that may be received by senior executives include car allowance, health insurance, household- related services and financial protection for family/ survivors. For each senior executive concerned, other benefits may represent a maximum of 15 percent of the fixed remuneration and, if full variable remunera- tion, pension benefits and other benefits are paid, a maximum of 9 percent of the total remuneration. Guidelines for termination and severance pay Employment contracts between Volati and its senior executives are normally permanent. The contracts may be terminated without objective grounds by either party. Salary during the period of notice and any severance pay due shall generally be in accord- ance with rules, collective agreements and practices. In addition, the following shall apply: If Volati terminates the employment, the period of notice shall not exceed 12 months. In addition, severance pay based on fixed monthly salaries may be paid for a maximum of 12 months. The total remuneration dur- ing the period of notice and period of severance pay shall not exceed a total amount corresponding to the agreed fixed monthly salary at the time of termination and contractual benefits for 12 months plus the fixed monthly salary for 12 months. If termination of employment is at the senior manager’s request, the period of notice shall not exceed six months and severance pay shall not be paid. If Volati chooses to apply a non-compete agreement in certain cases, fixed remuneration may be paid during the relevant period. 161Volati Annual Report 2025 Notes – Group ===== SIDA 163 ===== Consideration of remuneration and terms of employment for other employees In preparing the Board’s proposal for these remunera- tion guidelines, salary and terms of employment for Volati’s other employees have been taken into account by ensuring that information about the Company’s total salary costs and other personnel expenses is included in the Board’s support material for these guidelines. This information is also included in the Board’s annual remuneration report. Decision-making process for establishing, reviewing and implementing the guidelines The Volati Board or the Remuneration Committee, if such a committee has been established by the Board to fulfil its tasks, shall follow and evaluate the applica- tion of the guidelines for remuneration of senior executives, current programmes and programmes completed during the year for variable remuneration paid to senior executives and applicable remuneration structures and remuneration levels within Volati. The Board shall prepare a remuneration report for each financial year and make the report available to shareholders on Volati’s website no later than three weeks before the AGM. If a Remuneration Committee is established by the Volati Board, it shall prepare the Board’s proposal for guidelines for remuneration of senior executives. Every four years, or earlier if there is a need for significant amendments to the guidelines, the Board shall prepare proposed guidelines for resolution by the AGM, and if the Board has established a Remuneration Committee, the committee's recom- mendation in this regard shall form the basis for the Board’s proposal. The Meeting shall decide on the proposal. The guidelines shall apply to each remuneration obligation to senior executives, and any change to such obligation, decided after the meeting at which the guidelines were adopted. The guidelines do not therefore have any effect on previously binding contractual obligations. The guidelines shall apply until the new guidelines are adopted by the AGM and made available to the public on Volati’s website. When the Board considers and decides on remuneration-related matters, the CEO and other members of Group management are not present, insofar as they are affected by the matters. Right to decide on deviations from these guidelines The Board may decide to occasionally derogate from the guidelines, in whole or in part, if there are special reasons for doing so in an individual case and such derogation is necessary to safeguard Volati’s long-term interests, including its sustainability, or to ensure Volati’s financial viability. As stated above, the tasks of any Remuneration Committee appointed include preparing the Board’s decisions in the area of remuneration, including decisions to deviate from the guidelines. In its annual remuneration report, the Board shall report and explain any deviations. Review of the guidelines, changes and explanation of how shareholders’ views have been considered These guidelines were proposed prior to the 2025 AGM, and shareholders have not had the opportunity to comment on them over and above their normal right to make proposals before the AGM. 162 Volati Annual Report 2025 Notes – Group ===== SIDA 164 ===== Remuneration of Parent Company Board and senior executives Volati’s Board 2025, SEK million Salary Remuneration Other benefits Pension cost T otal Patrik Wahlén, Chairman – 0.585 – – 0.585 Karl Perlhagen – 0.265 – – 0.265 Björn Garat – 0.320 – – 0.320 Anna-Karin Celsing – 0.265 – – 0.265 Maria Edsman – 0.265 – – 0.265 Christina Tillman – 0.265 – – 0.265 Magnus Sundström – 0.345 – – 0.345 Volati’s senior executives 2025, SEK million Basic salary Variable remuneration Other benefits Pension cost T otal Andreas Stenbäck, CEO¹⁾ 4.8 – 0.0 0.4 5.2 Other senior executives (4)²⁾ 15.0 – 0.0 0.9 16.0 ¹⁾ In 2025, the Company’s CEO acquired 82,931 warrants issued by Volati AB, which expire in July 2029.

Volati applies the exception in IAS 12 from recognis- ing and disclosing deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes. Under Pillar Two, the Group is required to pay a top-up tax correspond- ing to the difference between its GloBE effective tax rate in each jurisdiction and the minimum rate of 15 percent. Some subsidiaries within Volati had an effective tax rate below 15 percent as at 31 December 2025. One subsidiary in the Group did not meet the conditions of the Safe Harbour tests as at 31 December 2025. A full calculation of the top-up tax shows that no top-up tax is payable. Accordingly, Volati has not recognised any current tax expense related to adjust- ments under the Pillar Two legislation. NOT 9 | Earnings per share The calculation of earnings per ordinary share for 2025 is based on profit attributable to owners of the Parent, which was SEK 302 (273) million. The figure for earnings per ordinary share has been reduced by the preference shareholders’ proportionate share of the dividend for 2025, which was SEK 64 (64) million. The remaining portion of the profit, SEK 238 (209) million, has been divided by the average number of ordinary shares, which was 79,406,571. The Group has outstanding warrant programmes related to Volati AB and Salix Group AB’s shares that may have a dilutive effect in future periods if the value of the share exceeds the exercise price, see note 5. 167Volati Annual Report 2025 Notes – Group ===== SIDA 169 ===== 2025 2024 Profit attributable to owners of the Parent 302 273 Deduction for preference share dividend 64 64 Profit attributable to owners of the Parent adjusted for preference share dividend 238 209 Ordinary shares outstanding 79,406,571 79,406,571 Average no. of ordinary shares 79,406,571 79,406,571 Basic and diluted earnings per share 3.00 2.63 NOTE 10 | Intangible assets Cost Goodwill Patents/ T echnology Brands/Other Capitalised development expenses T otal 1 January 2024 1,899 17 1,147 139 3,202 Investments – – – 20 20 Business acquisitions 163 – 418 – 582 Disposals – 0 0 –1 –1 Reclassifications – – – 1 1 Translation differences 0 0 3 0 3 1 January 2025 2,062 17 1,568 160 3,807 Investments – 5 0 35 40 Business acquisitions 28 – 22 – 50 Disposals 0 - 0 –2 –2 Reclassifications – – – 4 4 Translation differences –28 0 –28 –1 -58 31 December 2025 2,062 21 1,562 196 3,841 Accumulated amortisation 1 January 2024 –102 –15 –276 -81 -474 Amortisation/impairment for the year 0 –1 –117 –17 –134 Business acquisitions –11 – – – –11 Disposals – 0 – 0 1 Reclassifications 2 –2 0 Translation differences 0 – –1 0 0 1 January 2025 –112 –14 -394 -99 -618 Amortisation/impairment for the year 0 -4 –133 –18 –154 Disposals – 0 0 1 1 Reclassifications - - - –2 –2 Translation differences 4 0 5 0 10 31 December 2025 –107 –17 -522 –117 -764 Carrying amount 31/12/2024 1,950 3 1,174 62 3,189 31/12/2025 1,954 4 1,040 79 3,077 168 Volati Annual Report 2025 Notes – Group ===== SIDA 170 ===== Distribution of the Group’s goodwill and trademarks with indefinite useful lives 2025 2024 Goodwill Trademarks Goodwill Trademarks Tornum Group 139 – 144 – Corroventa 84 – 84 – Ettiketto Group 237 5 232 5 S:t Eriks 274 32 274 32 Scanmast 140 – 140 – Salix Group 1,081 135 1,076 135 T otal 1,954 172 1,950 172 During impairment testing, goodwill and other intan- gible assets with indefinite useful lives are allocated to the business areas or units which are considered to be cash generating units. The goodwill value of each cash generating unit is tested annually against the calculated recoverable amount, which is either the value in use or the fair value less costs of disposal. Value in use Value in use is calculated as the Group’s share of the present value of projected future cash flows gener- ated by the cash generating unit. The cash flow projection is based on reasonable and verifiable assumptions that represent Volati’s best estimate of the economic conditions that will exist, and considerable emphasis is therefore placed on external factors. We have taken into account factors such as the potential impact of climate change on our operations. The assessment of future cash flows is based on forecasts arising from the most recent budgets, projections and business plans submitted by each cash generating unit. These include the budget for the coming years and a projection for the subse- quent four to five years. Cash flows after the forecast period are estimated based on an assumption of a long-term annual growth rate of 2 percent after the forecast period. Cash flow projections do not include cash inflows and outflows from financing activities. The estimated value in use is comparable with the carrying amount of the subsidiary group. Key assumptions used for the calculations include the discount rate, sales growth. EBITDA margins, development of working capital and investment needs. Various assumptions have been made due to each subsidiary group operating as an independent unit with its own unique conditions. The key assumptions used for each subsidiary group are described below Key assumptions used for value in use per cash generating unit Discount rate Future cash flows for each cash generating unit have been discounted to present value using a discount rate. Volati has chosen to calculate the present value of cash flows after tax. The discount rate reflects market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to each cash generating unit. The discount rate does not reflect such risks that are taken into account when calculating future cash flows. The calculation of the discount rate is based on the company’s weighted average capital cost, the company’s incremental borrowing rate and other market interest rates on loans independent from Volati’s capital structure. The required rate of return for loan capital is based on an interest expense for risk-free loans of 2.6 percent adjusted for an interest margin of 1.0 percent and a tax rate of 20.6 percent. The required rate of return for equity is based on a risk-free interest rate, plus a market risk premium of 5.9 percent, a company-specific risk premium of 5.0 percent and a beta value for each cash generating unit of 0.80–1.40. The post-tax discount rates applied by Volati are as follows: Corroventa 12.6%, Ettiketto 10.3%, Tornum 10.0%, S:t Eriks 12.0%, Salix Group 11.1% and Scanmast 12.0% 169Volati Annual Report 2025 Notes – Group ===== SIDA 171 ===== T ornum Group The cash flow projection for Tornum Group is based on the company’s capacity to leverage its market position in the markets where it is established, with local financing and EU grants enabling the start-up of projects in these countries. The key assumptions used to calculate Tornum Group’s value in use are net sales growth, EBITDA margin and investment needs. Volati considers that long-term demand for Tornum Group’s products in the company’s established markets remains good and that there is a need for modernisa- tion and expansion investments in these markets. Based on this, Volati assumes that growth in net sales will be higher than GDP growth, while the EBITDA margin is expected to show a slightly increasing trend during the forecast period. Major macroeconomic events that negatively affect economic development and investment willingness in Eastern Europe, Russia and Ukraine could result in weaker performance than forecast. Management’s assessment is that no other reasonably possible changes in key assumptions would result in the calculated value in use for Tornum Group falling below its carrying amount. Corroventa Corroventa’s projected cash flows have been based on the company’s ability to obtain returns on investments in developing the product range and to leverage its geographic establishment. The key assumptions used to calculate Corroventa’s value in use are net sales growth, EBITDA margin and invest- ment needs. In addition, it is considered likely that the historic frequency and extent of weather-related flooding will continue into future forecast periods. Based on these factors, Volati anticipates that net sales growth will be higher than GDP growth and that the EBITDA margin will show a marginal increase during the forecast period. If the frequency of weather-related flooding falls in the future, the trend may be below the forecast. The assessment is that no reasonable changes in key assumptions will result in Corroventa’s calculated value in use falling below the carrying amount. S:t Eriks The forecast cash flows for S:t Eriks have been based on the companies’ ability to obtain returns on the investments and efficiency improvements that are taking place, and on no significant changes taking place in the market. Volati’s assessment is that long-term demand for S:t Eriks’ products in the Swedish market, where the company is established, is good. Based on this, Volati assumes that growth in net sales will be somewhat higher than GDP growth, while the EBITDA margin is expected to improve during the forecast period. The assessment is that no reasonable changes in key assumptions will result in S:t Eriks’ calculated value in use falling below the carrying amount. Communication The forecast cash flows for Communication have been based on the companies continuing to benefit from their established market positions and continu- ing to broaden their customer portfolios. The key assumptions used to calculate value in use for Com- munication are net sales growth and EBITDA margin. It is Volati’s assessment that Communications is well placed to gain market share in the future through geographical expansion and to broaden the customer portfolio, and Volati assumes net sales growth above GDP growth. At the same time, the EBITDA margin is expected to increase during the period. The assessment is that no reasonable changes in key assumptions will result in Communication’s calculated value in use falling below the carrying amount. Ettiketto Group The forecast cash flows for Ettiketto Group have been based on the company’s ability to obtain returns on its existing non-current assets and on no significant changes in the behaviour of the company’s major customers. The key assumptions used to calculate Ettiketto Group’s value in use are net sales growth, EBITDA margin and investment needs. Based on this, Volati assumes net sales growth slightly above GDP growth, with the EBITDA margin increasing during the forecast period as synergies from recently acquired companies are realised. The assessment is that no reasonable changes in key assumptions will result in Ettiketto Group’s calculated value in use falling below the carrying amount. 170 Volati Annual Report 2025 Notes – Group ===== SIDA 172 ===== Salix Group The Salix Group business area is treated as one cash-generating unit as its components largely share the same platform. The projected cash flows for Salix Group are based on the fact that the companies can benefit from their market position in the Nordic region, while the underlying economy does not decline significantly in the long term. The key assumptions used to calculate value in use for Salix Group are net sales growth and EBITDA margin. Volati’s assessment is that long-term demand for Salix Group’s products in the markets where the company is established is relatively good. Based on this, Volati assumes that growth in net sales will be higher than GDP growth, while the EBITDA margin is expected to show an increase during the forecast period. Should major macroeconomic events occur that negatively affect developments and willingness to invest in the Nordic region throughout the forecast period, growth may be lower than the forecast. The assessment is neither the current decline in demand nor other reasonable changes in key assumptions will result in Salix Group’s calculated value in use falling below the carrying amount. Sensitivity analysis The value in use for each cash generating unit is dependent on the assumptions used to calculate discounted cash flows. Volati has made simulations of value in use in the event of changes to key assumptions used for the calculation. When testing the carrying amount in relation to value in use, with an assumption of EBITDA at twenty percent below the forecasts for all years in the forecast period, the value in use for all cash generating units would be higher than the carrying amount. For corresponding testing of growth after the end of the forecast period, i.e. year 5 and beyond, annual growth of one percent rather than two percent in the forecast would still result in the value in use for all units being higher than the carrying amount. In a simulation where the discount rate is increased by one percentage point, the value in use for all units would still be higher than the carrying amount. Impairment No impairment losses on goodwill or intangible assets were recognised during 2025. No impairment was identified at the end of 2025 after comparing the companies’ value in use with the Group’s carrying amount for each cash generating unit. No impairment losses were recognised in 2024. 171Volati Annual Report 2025 Notes – Group ===== SIDA 173 ===== NOTE 11 | Property, plant & equipment Cost Land and buildings Machinery and equipment T otal 1 January 2024 199 688 887 Investments 2 80 82 Business acquisitions 11 6 16 Sales/disposals 0 –61 –62 Translation differences 1 3 3 Reclassifications 0 –1 0 Discontinued operations – 0 0 1 January 2025 212 715 927 Investments 5 86 92 Business acquisitions 54 43 97 Sales/disposals 0 –173 –173 Translation differences –4 –10 –13 Reclassifications 5 –8 –2 Discontinued operations –2 – –2 31 December 2025 271 654 925 Accumulated depreciation 1 January 2024 –47 –428 –475 Depreciation for the year –7 –70 –77 Sales/disposals 0 59 59 Reclassifications – –1 –1 Translation differences 0 –1 –1 Discontinued operations – 0 0 1 January 2025 –54 –441 –495 Depreciation for the year –10 –69 –79 Sales/disposals 0 162 162 Reclassifications –1 1 1 Translation differences 0 3 4 Discontinued operations 0 – 0 31 December 2025 –63 –343 –406 Carrying amount 31/12/2024 159 273 432 31/12/2025 208 310 519 172 Volati Annual Report 2025 Notes – Group ===== SIDA 174 ===== NOTE 12 | Leases Right-of-use assets Volati’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are mainly related to rents for premises and warehouses etc, and leased cars, trucks and machinery. Some leases also involve exposure regarding non- lease components such as costs of water, heating etc. However, their value is considered non-material to the Group. The future lease payments are discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined, Otherwise, the incremental bor- rowing rate is calculated based on the type of leased asset it refers to, the geographical location of the asset and the estimated financial risk associated with the lessee. The discount rate used for obligations varies between 3 and 17 percent depending on these different assumptions. Volati’s calculation of the length of the obligations is based on the remaining lease terms, but extension options have been taken into account if the exercise of such options is reasonably certain.

On 31 December 2025, the Group’s obligations under short-term leases were SEK 3.0 (3.4) million. Future cash flows There are future cash flows to which the Group could potentially be exposed that are not reflected in the measurement of the lease liability. These include exposure attributable to: • Extension options • Residual value guarantees • Leases agreed but not yet commenced Assessment of the extension options is on the basis that exercise of such options is reasonably certain. For Volati, residual value guarantees do not represent a material amount. Leases that have been agreed but have not yet commenced are not considered to have any material impact on cash flow.

Some of Volati’s operations are conducted outside Sweden. This exposes the Group to several different types of financial risks which could result in fluctuations in net profit, cash flow or equity, due to exchange rate movements. In addition, Volati has exposure in the form of loan financing with floating interest expenses and various risks associated with the duration of financing. The Parent Company manages the financial risks attributable to loan financing. For currency risks, each unit has its own procedures for when and how to manage currency exposure. Credit risk Credit risk involves exposure to losses if a counterparty fails to discharge its financial obligations to the Group. If counterparties are unable to fulfil their financial obligations to the Group, this may have a negative effect on the Company's operations, financial position and earnings. In its ongoing sales, Volati is exposed to credit risk in outstanding trade receivables. This risk is reduced as most companies in the Group have trade receiva- bles with a short expected maturity, distributed among a large number of customers at low amounts per customer. These are measured without discount- ing at the amounts initially invoiced less an allowance for expected losses. In addition, the risk in some larger and longer projects is reduced by means of credit insurance. Historically, overall customer losses have been low throughout the Group. The total gross value of outstanding trade receivables at 31 December was SEK 982 (1,011) million. These were written down by a total of SEK –15 (–19) million. The age analysis of trade receivables at 31 December and the Group's loss allowance policy is described later in this note. Currency risk Volati’s main currency risks are associated with the translation of equity and earnings in foreign subsidiar- ies, and the effect on earnings of the flows of goods between countries with different currencies. Currency risk is based on exchange rate changes having an impact on the Company’s earnings, and arises when transactions take place in foreign cur- rency, i.e. when the Group makes purchases or sales in foreign currency, and when assets and liabilities are held in foreign currency. When consolidating foreign subsidiaries, the relevant country's currency is translated to Swedish kronor, which may have a nega- tive effect on the Group's financial position. Large amounts of purchases are from suppliers in countries with different currencies, while sales are often in another currency. Future currency fluctuations can therefore have a negative effect on the Group’s earnings and financial position. Volati’s main exposure is to USD, EUR, NOK and DKK. USD exposure is due to a certain proportion of the Group’s purchases being transacted in this currency, while revenue in USD is considerably lower. The Group’s exposure to EUR is mainly due to net purchases being higher than revenue in EUR for certain of the Group companies, but revenue in EUR is higher than expenditure for some other companies and the exposure varies from business area to business area, which means that financial development for a business area can be affected by EUR exchange rate movements. Exposure to NOK and DKK is related to revenue in the curren- cies being significantly higher than expenditure. From time to time, the units may use financial instruments to temporarily hedge their cash flows. Transaction exposure As the Group's companies have revenues and expenses in different currencies, it is exposed to risks associated with currency fluctuations. Transaction risks are managed in the units based on each unit’s circumstances, risks and controls, which are formu- lated and adopted separately for each subsidiary. Some of the units engage in active currency hedging, whereby purchases and income are hedged to varying degrees by forward exchange contracts. The degree of currency hedging varies from unit to unit, mainly in terms of the companies’ ability to transfer currency exposures to customers or suppliers. At the reporting date, there were no outstanding forward exchange contracts. 178 Volati Annual Report 2025 Notes – Group ===== SIDA 180 ===== The table below shows the Group’s net currency exposure of assets and liabilities at the reporting date (assets + and liabilities –) in the largest currencies. Net currency exposure of assets and lia- bilities, major currencies Currency exposure 2025 2024 USD –75 –58 NOK 25 37 PLN 31 35 EUR 77 –58 DKK 149 4 Translation exposure Volati AB presents its statements of income and financial position in SEK. Foreign companies have different presentation currencies. This means that the Group’s earnings and equity are exposed during consolidation when foreign currencies, primarily EUR, NOK and DKK, are translated to SEK. At the reporting date, there was a significant amount of translation exposure, primarily NOK, EUR and DKK. NOK translation exposure in equity has increased from the previous year due to internal restructuring carried out within Salix Group. Although Volati AB can hedge its translation exposure by borrowing in matching currencies, equity hedging had not been used at the reporting date. The table below shows the Group’s translation exposure in equity in the three largest currencies at the reporting date.

However, the solvency ratio for the entire Group is not a true indicator of the Company’s assessment of its financial position as it does not take into account the value growth of underlying holdings when calculating equity. The capital structure reflects the Group’s relatively low operational risks. The level of debt gives scope for generating a good return for shareholders, while equity is sufficient to safeguard the Group's long–term ability to continue operating. Volati does not have a financial target for the size of equity. The financial target for Volati’s capital struc- ture is a net debt/adjusted EBITDA ratio of 2–3x, and not exceeding 3.5x. The outcome on 31 December 2025 was 2.6x (2.6). Cash and cash equivalents that cannot be invested in accordance with the Company’s objectives and investment strategy are distributed to the owners within the framework of Volati’s dividend policy. Volati’s target for ordinary shares is to distribute 10–30 percent of the Group’s net profit attributable to owners of the Parent. When determining the dividend, consideration is given to net debt in relation to the Company’s targets, future acquisition opportunities, development opportunities in existing companies and other factors that the Board of Volati considers relevant. Dividends on preference shares are issued at an annual amount of SEK 40.00 per preference share, in quarterly pay- ments of SEK 10.00, in accordance with the Articles of Association. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the Volati’s net finan- cial items will be affected by changes in market inter- est rates. In the longer term, interest rate changes will have a significant effect on Volati’s earnings and cash flow. The Group’s total interest expenses for bank loans for the financial year 2025 amounted to SEK 111 (123) million and for lease obligations SEK 33 (35) million. The average interest rate on outstanding bank loans at 31 December 2025 was approximately 3.5 percent. The discount rate used for lease obliga- tions varies between 3 and 17 percent. If the prevailing interest rates were to change and/ or the Company failed to pay interest in the future, the Company’s operations, earnings and financial position could be adversely affected. 179Volati Annual Report 2025 Notes – Group ===== SIDA 181 ===== Outstanding bank loans have a duration of three months. Based on net debt at the reporting date, a change of one (1) percentage point in the borrowing interest rate would have an effect of SEK 17 million on Volati’s profit after tax. Volati continuously monitors interest rate trends and, on this basis, assesses which interest terms are best for the Group in the long and short term. Financing and liquidity risk Financing risk is defined as the risk of being unable to discharge payment obligations as a result of insuf- ficient liquidity or difficulties in obtaining external financing. Liquidity risk is the risk of the Company being unable to discharge its payment obligations as a result of insufficient liquidity at the due date without a significant increase in the associated cost of obtain- ing funds. If the Company’s sources of financing prove to be inadequate, this could have a material adverse effect on the Group's operations, earnings and financial position. Volati is dependent on obtaining financing through lenders. The Company’s financing needs include both operating activities and preparedness for future investments. The availability of financing is influenced by factors such as general availability of risk capital and the Group’s creditworthiness. Volati manages financing risk at a consolidated level. Volati endeavours to have available cash and cash equivalents or unutilised credit facilities in order to manage any significant disruptions in the financing market. The available liquidity margin varies during the year and is dependent on whether there have been any significant acquisitions or divestments. Volati’s borrowing from credit institutions is mainly in SEK and at floating interest rates. In 2025, the existing credit facilities were increased by SEK 750 million. Volati has a sustainability–linked credit agree- ment of SEK 3,650 million with Nordea and SEB. Volati’s borrowing from credit institutions consists of three different financing frameworks: a loan facility of SEK 1,500 million, a revolving credit facility of SEK 1,850 million, with the option for different maturities for the tranches, and an overdraft facility of SEK 300 million. The terms of the sustainability–linked loan are tied in with Volati Group’s ability to reduce its carbon footprint, to reduce the carbon footprint of cement consumption in S:t Eriks and to ensure gender balance in management teams. In 2025, the credit agreement was extended by one year and now runs until April 2028. At the end of 2025, the unutilised portion of the revolving credit facility was SEK 680 (250) million, the unutilised portion of the overdraft facility was SEK 300 (300) million and cash & cash equivalents were SEK 679 (317) million. The overdraft facility has a duration of 12 months and is automatically extended by another 12 months each year unless the bank has stated otherwise. The credit agreement of SEK 3,650 million with Nordea and SEB is dependent on the Company’s financial per- formance fulfilling certain covenants on a quarterly basis. The covenant for the the credit agreement is net debt divided by adjusted EBITDA. Volati AB has not breached any covenants during 2025. In addition, Volati has chosen to make certain investments in property, plant & equipment under leases. See note 12 for information about these lease liabilities. Volati has agreements with shareholders with non–controlling interests in certain units which include put options on their company shares. The shareholder agreements entitle these shareholders, under certain conditions and on certain occasions, to sell the shares to Volati at market prices. On the reporting date, these put options were measured at a market value based on a multiple analysis adjusted for the net debt in each unit. Due dates The due dates for non–interest–bearing and interest– bearing financial assets are mainly within one year. The liquidity risk table below shows the due dates for Volati’s financial assets and liabilities.

Instead, the loss allowance is assessed for each unit. The allowance is distributed as follows: receivables not overdue, less than one percent, up to 30 days, about one percent to a few percent, 30–90 days, a few percent to 100 percent, and over 90 days, often 100 percent. Loss allowance The Volati Group’s loss allowance model is based on expected losses, which means that the reduction in value is recognised immediately when the receivable arises. Volati applies the simplified approach for trade receivables. As the Group’s units operate in very different sectors and have different counterparties as customers, from government authorities to private individuals in other countries, the calculation basis for the loss allowance also differs. The underlying calculation for the loss allowance has therefore been adapted to each unit. Generally, expected credit losses on trade receivables have been estimated for all companies using a provision matrix, which is based on the debtor’s payment history, and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, adjusted for factors specific to the debtor, the general economic situation in the debtor’s industry and an assessment of both current and forecast conditions on the reporting date. The average credit period differs greatly within the companies in the Group, from a large proportion of advance payments in certain operations to over 90 days in other units, but the majority have payment terms of 30 days. The Group writes off a trade receiv- able when there is information that indicates that the debtor is in financial hardship and there are no realistic prospects of recovery, e.g. when the debtor has gone into liquidation or has filed for bankruptcy.

APMs are specified when they, in their context, provide clearer or more in-depth data than those metrics defined in the applicable rules for financial reporting. The basis for APMs is that they are used by manage- ment to assess financial performance and can thus be considered to give analysts and other stakeholders valuable information. Volati regularly uses APMs as a complement to the key metrics that represent generally accepted accounting policies. The APMs derive from Volati’s consolidated accounts and do not comprise measures of financial performance or liquidity in accordance with IFRS and, accordingly, should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating profit or other key metrics that are derived pursuant to IFRS or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of consolidated liquidity. The following table sets out definitions for Volati’s key figures. The calculation of APMs is presented separately below. Non-IFRS APMs and key metrics Description Reason for use EBITDA Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation. EBITDA is used together with EBITA to clarify earnings before the effects of depreciation and impairment, and before amortisation of acquisition-related intangible assets, in order to provide a view of the profit generated by operating activities. Items affecting comparability These include transaction-related costs, restructuring costs, contingent consideration remeasurement, capital gains/losses on the sale of operations and non-current assets, and other items that affect comparability over time. Items affecting comparability represent income and expenses that are not attributable to the underlying performance of the business. Adjusted EBITDA Calculated as EBITDA, adjusted by adding back to earnings, as a minus item, interest expenses and depreciation attributable to operating leases for the last twelve months, as of the current reporting date, for the companies included in the Group on the reporting date, as if they had been owned for the last 12 months, adjusted for items affecting comparability. Adjusted EBITDA provides management and investors with a view of the size of the operations included in the Group at the reporting date, as it does not include items not directly attributable to day-to- day operations. Also used in our covenant calculations for the bank. EBITA Earnings before interest, taxes and amortisation. Together with EBITDA, EBITA provides a view of the profit generated by operating activities. EBITA excl. items affecting comparability Calculated as EBITA, adjusted for items affecting comparability. Used by management to monitor the underlying earnings growth for the Group. EBITA growth per ordinary share Calculated as EBITA divided by the number of ordinary shares outstanding at the end of the period compared with the same period the previous year. Used to illustrate earnings per ordinary share generated by operating activities. Organic net sales growth Calculated as net sales for the period, adjusted for acquired and divested net sales and currency effects, compared with net sales for the same period the previous year as if the businesses had been owned for the same length of time in the comparative period as the length of time they have been legally consolidated in the current period. This metric is used by management to monitor the underlying net sales growth in existing operations. 188 Volati Annual Report 2025 Notes – Group ===== SIDA 190 ===== Non-IFRS APMs and key metrics Description Reason for use Organic EBITA growth Calculated as EBITA excluding items affecting comparability for the period, adjusted for total acquired and divested EBITA and currency effects, compared with EBITA excluding items affecting comparability for the same period the previous year, as if the businesses had been owned for the same length of time in the comparative period as the length of time they have been legally consolidated in the current period. Used by management to monitor the underlying earnings growth for existing operations. Return on equity Net profit (including share attributable to non-controlling interests) divided by average equity for the last four quarters (including share attributable to non-controlling interests). Shows the return generated on the total capital invested in the Company by shareholders. Return on adjusted equity Net profit (including share attributable to non-controlling interests) less preference share dividend divided by average equity for the last four quarters (including share attributable to non-controlling interests) less preference share capital. Shows the underlying return generated on ordinary share capital invested in the Company by owners of ordinary shares. Return on capital employed (ROCE excl. goodwill) EBITA excluding items affecting comparability for the last 12 months divided by average capital employed for the last 12 months. Shows the return on capital employed generated by each business area and the Group without taking into consideration acquisition-related intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Return on capital employed incl. goodwill (ROCE incl. goodwill) EBITA excluding items affecting comparability for the last 12 months divided by average capital employed includ- ing goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives for the last 12 months. Shows the return on capital employed generated by each business area and the Group. Equity ratio Equity (including share attributable to non-controlling interests) as a percentage of total assets. The metric can be used to assess financial risk. Cash conversion Calculated as operating cash flow for the last twelve months divided by EBITDA, adjusted by adding back to earnings, as a minus item, interest expenses and depreciation attributable to operating leases for the last twelve months as of the current reporting date. Cash conversion is used by management to monitor how efficiently the Company manages working capital and ongoing investments. Operating cash flow Calculated as EBITDA, adjusted by adding back to earnings, as a minus item, interest expenses and depreciation attributable to operating leases, adjusted for non-cash items less the net of investments in and disposals of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, and adjusted for cash flow from changes in working capital including prepaid operating lease expenses. Operating cash flow is used by management to monitor cash flow generated by operating activities. Net debt/Adjusted EBITDA Calculated as the sum of interest-bearing loans, finance lease liabilities, provisions for pensions and liabilities attributable to unrealised losses on valuations of outstanding derivatives less cash and cash equivalents, endowment insurance assets and assets attributable to unrealised gains on valuations of outstanding derivatives in relation to adjusted EBITDA for the period. The metric can be used to assess financial risk. 189Volati Annual Report 2025 Notes – Group ===== SIDA 191 ===== Calculations of alternative performance measures are presented separately below.

Company’s accounts NOTE 1 | Accounting policies The Parent Company’s annual report is prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554) and the Swedish Corporate Reporting Board’s recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities and its interpretations for listed companies. RFR 2 requires the Parent Company, as a legal entity, to prepare financial statements in accordance with IFRS reporting standards and statements adopted by the EU to the extent allowed within the framework of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, and taking into account the relationship between tax expense and accounting profit. The recommendation also specifies permissible IFRS exemptions and additions, and the Company has decided to use the exemption from applying IFRS 9 in its reporting. Differences between the Group’s and the Parent Company’s accounting policies are described below. The accounting policies described below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the Parent Company's financial statements. Revenue recognition Dividends to the Parent Company are recognised as revenue. Leases The Parent Company applies the exemption rule in RFR 2 and recognises lease payments as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Property, plant and equipment The Parent Company recognises property, plant and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Depreciation Depreciation is applied on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the asset. Number of years Equipment 3–10 The residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed annually. Financial instruments The Parent Company applies the IFRS 9 exemption rules in RFR 2 and financial instruments are therefore recognised at cost less impairment. Group contributions The Parent Company recognises Group contributions paid and received as appropriations in the income statement. Tax Deferred tax assets arising from tax loss carryfor- wards or other future tax deductions are recognised to the extent that it is likely that the loss can be offset against future profits. Investments in subsidiaries The Parent Company only recognises an impairment loss on the carrying amount of investments in sub- sidiaries when the value of a subsidiary is less than its value in use, as described in Group note 10.

KPMG AB Helena Nilsson Ola Larsmon Authorised Public Accountant Chief Auditor Authorised Public Accountant 201Volati Annual Report 2025 Declaration by the Board ===== SIDA 203 ===== Auditor’s Report To the general meeting of the shareholders of Volati AB (publ.), corp. id 556555-4317 Report on the annual accounts and consolidated accounts Opinions We have audited the annual accounts and consoli- dated accounts of Volati AB (publ.) for the year 2025, except for the corporate governance statement on pages 62–75 and the sustainability report on pages 76–141. The annual accounts and consolidated accounts of the company are included on pages 53–201 in this document. In our opinion, the annual accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act, and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the parent company as of 31 December 2025 and its financial performance and cash flow for the year then ended in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act. The consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the group as of 31 December 2025 and their financial performance and cash flow for the year then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, as adopted by the EU, and the Annual Accounts Act. Our opinions do not cover the corporate governance statement on pages 62–75 and sustainability report on pages 76–141. The statutory administration report is consistent with the other parts of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts. We therefore recommend that the general meeting of shareholders adopts the income statement and balance sheet for the parent company and the group. Our opinions in this report on the the annual accounts and consolidated accounts are consistent with the content of the additional report that has been submitted to the parent company's audit committee in accordance with the Audit Regulation (537/2014) Article 11. Basis for Opinions We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities section. We are independent of the parent company and the group in accordance with professional ethics for accountants in Sweden and have otherwise fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.This includes that, based on the best of our knowledge and belief, no prohibited services referred to in the Audit Regulation (537/2014) Article 5.1 have been provided to the audited company or, where applicable, its parent company or its controlled companies within the EU. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters of the audit are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of, and in forming our opinion thereon, the annual accounts and consolidated accounts as a whole, but we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Translation from the Swedish original 202 Volati Annual Report 2025 Auditor’s Report ===== SIDA 204 ===== Valuation of acquired intangible assets See disclosure 10 and accounting principles on page 149 in the annual account and consolidated accounts for detailed information and description of the matter. Description of key audit matter The carrying value of acquired intangible assets, consisting of goodwill and brands/other amount to SEK 2,998 million as at 31 December 2025, representing 39% of total assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lifetimes shall be subject to impairment testing annually. Other intangible assets should be tested if there are indicators of impairment. The impairment tests are both complex and involves significant elements of judgement from group management. According to current regulations, the prescribed method for carrying out impairment tests involves management making forecasts for how internal as well as external conditions and plans may impact the business. Examples of such forecasts include future cash flows, which in turn require assump- tions to be made about future market conditions. Another important assumption is which discount rate to use in order to correctly reflect the time value of money of forecast future cash in-flows, which carry a certain level of risk. This area, therefore, involves significant levels of judgement which are in turn significant to the group’s financial statements. How the matter was addressed in the audit We reviewed the Company’s impairment tests to assess whether they had been performed in accordance with the prescribed methodology. We also evaluated management’s forecasts of future cash flows and the underlying assumptions, including the long-term growth rate and the discount rate applied, by reviewing and assessing the Group’s written documentation and plans. We also evaluated prior-year assessments in relation to actual outcomes. An important part of our work was also to evaluate how changes in assumptions could affect the valuation, including performing and reviewing the Group’s sensitivity analyses. We also assessed the completeness of the disclosures in the annual accounts and consoli- dated accounts and evaluated whether they are consistent with the assumptions applied by the Group in its impairment testing and whether the information provided is sufficiently comprehensive to enable an understanding of management’s assessments. 203Volati Annual Report 2025 Auditor’s Report ===== SIDA 205 ===== Other Information than the annual accounts and consolidated accounts This document also contains other information than the annual accounts and consolidated accounts and is found on pages 1–52, 76–141 and 211–212. The other information comprises also of the remuneration report which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for this other information. Our opinion on the annual accounts and consoli- dated accounts does not cover this other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclu- sion regarding this other information. In connection with our audit of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, our responsibil- ity is to read the information identified above and consider whether the information is materially incon- sistent with the annual accounts and consolidated accounts. In this procedure we also take into account our knowledge otherwise obtained in the audit and assess whether the information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we, based on the work performed concerning this information, conclude that there is a material mis- statement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts and that they give a fair presentation in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and, concerning the consolidated accounts, in accordance with IFRS Accounting Stand- ards as adopted by the EU. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of annual accounts and consolidated accounts that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the annual accounts and consolidated accounts The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the assessment of the company’s and the group's ability to continue as a going concern. They disclose, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting. The going concern basis of accounting is however not applied if the Board of Directors and the Managing Director intend to liquidate the company, to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The Audit Committee shall, without prejudice to the Board of Director’s responsibilities and tasks in general, among other things oversee the company’s financial reporting process. Auditor’s responsibility Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the annual accounts and consolidated accounts as a whole are free from material misstate- ment, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reason- able assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these annual accounts and consolidated accounts. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain profes- sional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstate- ment of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of the company’s internal control relevant to our audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the cir- cumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors and the Managing Director. 204 Volati Annual Report 2025 Auditor’s Report ===== SIDA 206 ===== • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’ and the Managing Director's, use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual accounts and consolidated accounts. We also draw a conclusion, based on the audit evidence obtained, as to whether any material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company’s and the group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the annual accounts and consolidated accounts or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion about the annual accounts and consoli- dated accounts. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or condi- tions may cause a company and a group to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, including the disclosures, and whether the annual accounts and consolidated accounts represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. • Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the group as a basis for forming an opinion on the consolidated accounts. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our opinions. We must inform the Board of Directors of, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit. We must also inform of significant audit findings during our audit, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identified. We must also provide the Board of Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, measures that have been taken to eliminate the threats or related safeguards. From the matters communicated with the Board of Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, including the most important assessed risks for material misstatement, and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in the auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes disclosure about the matter. 205Volati Annual Report 2025 Auditor’s Report ===== SIDA 207 ===== Report on other legal and regulatory requirements Auditor's audit of the administration and the proposed appropriations of profit or loss Opinions In addition to our audit of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, we have also audited the administration of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director of Volati AB (publ.) for the year 2025 and the proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss. We recommend to the general meeting of share- holders that the profit be appropriated in accordance with the proposal in the statutory administration report and that the members of the Board of Direc- tors and the Managing Director be discharged from liability for the financial year. Basis for Opinions We conducted the audit in accordance with gener- ally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities section. We are independent of the parent company and the group in accordance with professional ethics for accountants in Sweden and have otherwise fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions. Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director The Board of Directors is responsible for the proposal for appropriations of the company’s profit or loss. At the proposal of a dividend, this includes an assessment of whether the dividend is justifiable considering the requirements which the company's and the group's type of operations, size and risks place on the size of the parent company's and the group’s equity, consolidation requirements, liquidity and position in general. The Board of Directors is responsible for the company’s organization and the administration of the company’s affairs. This includes among other things continuous assessment of the company’s and the group's financial situation and ensuring that the company's organization is designed so that the accounting, management of assets and the company’s financial affairs otherwise are controlled in a reassur- ing manner. The Managing Director shall manage the ongoing administration according to the Board of Directors' guidelines and instructions and among other matters take measures that are necessary to fulfill the com- pany's accounting in accordance with law and handle the management of assets in a reassuring manner. Auditor’s responsibility Our objective concerning the audit of the administra- tion, and thereby our opinion about discharge from liability, is to obtain audit evidence to assess with a reasonable degree of assurance whether any member of the Board of Directors or the Managing Director in any material respect: • has undertaken any action or been guilty of any omission which can give rise to liability to the company, or • in any other way has acted in contravention of the Companies Act, the Annual Accounts Act or the Articles of Association. Our objective concerning the audit of the proposed appropriations of the company’s profit or loss, and thereby our opinion about this, is to assess with reasonable degree of assurance whether the proposal is in accordance with the Companies Act. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden will always detect actions or omissions that can give rise to liability to the company, or that the proposed appropriations of the company’s profit or loss are not in accordance with the Companies Act. As part of an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. The examination of the administration and the proposed appropriations of the company’s profit or loss is based primarily on the audit of the accounts. Additional audit procedures performed are based on our professional judgment with starting point in risk and materiality. This means that we focus the examination on such actions, areas and relationships that are material for the operations and where deviations and violations would have particular importance for the company’s situation. We 206 Volati Annual Report 2025 Auditor’s Report ===== SIDA 208 ===== examine and test decisions undertaken, support for decisions, actions taken and other circumstances that are relevant to our opinion concerning discharge from liability. As a basis for our opinion on the Board of Directors’ proposed appropriations of the company’s profit or loss we examined the Board of Directors' reasoned statement and a selection of supporting evidence in order to be able to assess whether the proposal is in accordance with the Companies Act. The auditor’s examination of the Esef report Opinion In addition to our audit of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, we have also examined that the Board of Directors and the Managing Director have prepared the annual accounts and consolidated accounts in a format that enables uniform electronic reporting (the Esef report) pursuant to Chapter 16, Section 4(a) of the Swedish Securities Market Act (2007:528) for Volati AB (publ.) for year 2025. Our examination and our opinion relate only to the statutory requirements. In our opinion, the Esef report has been prepared in a format that, in all material respects, enables uniform electronic reporting. Basis for opinion We have performed the examination in accordance with FAR’s recommendation RevR 18 Examination of the Esef report. Our responsibility under this recom- mendation is described in more detail in the Auditors’ responsibility section. We are independent of Volati AB (publ.) in accordance with professional ethics for accountants in Sweden and have otherwise fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of the Esef report in accordance with the Chapter 16, Section 4(a) of the Swedish Securities Market Act (2007:528), and for such internal control that the Board of Directors and the Managing Director determine is necessary to prepare the Esef report without material misstate- ments, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s responsibility Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance whether the Esef report is in all material respects prepared in a format that meets the requirements of Chapter 16, Section 4(a) of the Swedish Securities Market Act (2007:528), based on the procedures performed. RevR 18 requires us to plan and execute procedures to achieve reasonable assurance that the Esef report is prepared in a format that meets these requirements. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it is not a guarantee that an engagement carried out according to RevR 18 and generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the Esef report. The audit firm applies International Standard on Quality Management 1, which requires the firm to design, implement and operate a system of quality management including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The examination involves obtaining evidence, through various procedures, that the Esef report has been prepared in a format that enables uniform electronic reporting of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement in the report, whether due to fraud or error. In carrying out this risk assessment, and in order to design procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, the auditor considers those elements of internal control that are relevant to the preparation of the Esef report by the Board of Directors and the Manag- ing Director, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of those internal controls. The examination also includes an evaluation of the appropriateness and reasonableness of the assumptions made by the Board of Directors and the Managing Director. The procedures mainly include a validation that the Esef report has been prepared in a valid XHTML format and a reconciliation of the Esef report with the audited annual accounts and consolidated accounts. 207Volati Annual Report 2025 Auditor’s Report ===== SIDA 209 ===== Furthermore, the procedures also include an assessment of whether the consolidated statement of financial performance, financial position, changes in equity, cash flow and disclosures in the Esef report have been marked with iXBRL in accordance with what follows from the Esef regulation. The auditor's examination of the corporate governance statement The Board of Directors is responsible for that the corporate governance statement on pages 62-75 has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act. Our examination of the corporate governance statement is conducted in accordance with FAR´s standard RevR 16 The auditor´s examination of the corporate governance statement. This means that our examination of the corporate governance statement is different and substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. We believe that the examination has provided us with sufficient basis for our opinions. A corporate governance statement has been prepared. Disclosures in accordance with chapter 6 section 6 the second paragraph points 2-6 of the Annual Accounts Act and chapter 7 section 31 the second paragraph the same law are consistent with the other parts of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts and are in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act. KPMG AB, Box 382, 101 27, Stockholm, was appointed auditor of Volati AB (publ.) by the general meeting of the shareholders on the 28 April 2025. KPMG AB or auditors operating at KPMG AB have been the company's auditor since 2024. Stockholm 24 March 2026 Helena Nilsson Ola Larsmon Authorized Public Accountant Auditor in charge Authorized Public Accountant 208 Volati Annual Report 2025 Auditor’s Report ===== SIDA 210 ===== Auditor’s limited assurance report of Volati AB (publ.)s sustainability statement To the general meeting of the shareholders of Volati AB (publ.), corporate identity number 556555-4317 Conclusion We have conducted a limited assurance engagement of the sustainability statement for Volati AB (publ.) (the “company”) for the financial year 2025. The sustain- ability statement is included 76 - 141 in this document. Based on our limited assurance engagement as described in the section Auditor's responsibility, noth- ing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the sustainability statement does not, in all material respects, meet the requirements of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act which includes, • whether the sustainability statement meets the requirements of ESRS, • whether the process the company has carried out to identify reported sustainability information has been conducted as described in the sustainability statement, and • compliance with the reporting requirements of the EU:s Green Taxonomy Regulation Article 8. Basis for conclusion We have conducted the assurance engagement in accordance with FAR's recommendation RevR 19 The auditor’s limited assurance regarding the statutory sustainability statement. Our responsibility according to this recommendation is further described in the section Auditor's responsibility. We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion. Other matters The sustainability information for the prior year has not been subject to any assurance, and consequently no assurance of the comparative information in the sustainability statement for 2025 has been performed. Information other than the sustainability statement This document also contains information other than the sustainability statement and is found on pages 1–75, 142–201 and 21–212. The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer are responsible for this other information. Our conclusion on the sustainability statement does not cover this other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion regarding this other information. In connection with our limited assurance engagement on the sustainability statement, our responsibility is to read the information identified above and consider whether the information is materially inconsistent with the sustainability statement. In this procedure we also take into account our knowledge otherwise obtained in the limited assurance engagement and assess whether the information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we, based on the work performed concerning this information, conclude that there is a material misstate- ment of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer are responsible for the preparation of sustainability statement in accordance with Chapter 6, Sections 12–12f of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the sustainability statement that is free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s responsibility Our responsibility is to express a conclusion with limited assurance on whether the sustainability statement has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 6, Sections 12–12f of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act based on our review. The limited assurance engagement has been conducted in accordance with FAR's recom- mendation RevR 19 The auditor’s limited assurance regarding the statutory sustainability statement. This recommendation requires that we plan and perform our procedures to obtain limited assurance that the sustainability statement is prepared in accordance with these requirements. The procedures in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent than for, a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed. This means that it is not possible for us to obtain such assurance that we become aware of all significant 209Volati Annual Report 2025 Auditor’s Report ===== SIDA 211 ===== matters that could have been identified if a reasonable assurance engagement had been performed. Our firm applies ISQM 1 (International Standard on Quality Management), which requires the firm to design, implement and operate a system of quality management, including policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, profes- sional standards, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. We are independent of Volati AB (publ.) in accordance with professional ethics for accountants in Sweden and have otherwise fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. A limited assurance engagement involves performing procedures to obtain evidence to support the sustain- ability statement. The auditor selects the procedures to be performed, including assessing the risks of material misstatements in the sustainability statement, whether due to fraud or error. In this risk assessment, the auditor considers the parts of the internal control that are relevant to how the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer prepare the sustainability statement, in order to design procedures that are appropriate under the circumstances, but not for the purpose of providing a conclusion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control. The review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for the preparation of the sustainability statement, performing analytical review, and conducting other limited review procedures. In conducting our limited assurance engagement, with respect to the process undertaken to identify the sustainability information to be reported, we have: • Obtained an understanding of the Process by: – performing inquiries to understand the sources of the information used by management; and – reviewing the company’s internal documentation of its Process; and • Evaluated whether the evidence obtained from our review procedures regarding the Process implemented by the company was consistent with the description of the Process set out in the sustain- ability statement. In conducting our limited assurance engagement, with respect to the sustainability statement, we have performed, but were not limited to, the following: • Through inquiries, obtained a general understanding of the company's reporting and consolidation processes, including the company's internal control environment and information systems, relevant to the preparation of information in the sustainability statement. • Evaluated whether information identified as material through the process the company has carried out is also included in the sustainability statement. • Evaluated whether the structure and the presenta- tion of the sustainability statement is in accordance with the requirements of the ESRS. • Performed inquiries with relevant personnel and analytical procedures on selected disclosures in the sustainability statement. • Performed substantive procedures through sample testing on selected disclosures in the sustainability statement. • Through inquiries, obtained understanding of the methods used to develop material estimates and how these methods were applied. • Through inquiries, obtained a general understanding of the process to identify economic activities which are eligible and aligned with the EU Green Taxonomy, and the corresponding disclosures in the sustain- ability statement. Inherent limitations in preparing the sustainability statement In reporting forward-looking information in accordance with ESRS, the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of Volati AB (publ.) are required to prepare the forward-looking information on the basis of disclosed assumptions about events that may occur in the future and possible future actions by Volati AB (publ.). Actual outcomes are likely to be different since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected.
