Summary of significant events after the end of the period
Statement by Daniel Ljunggren, President and CEO MilDef Group
MilDef concluded 2025 on a strong note despite delivery chain challenges. The Group saw both good growth and improved profitability compared with the same period the previous year. This was the Group's strongest quarter so far - in order intake, sales and operating profit.
Net sales increased by 87%, with 13% growth in organic sales compared with the previous year. Acquisitions made a positive contribution of 75%. Excluding non-recurring items, EBITA increased by 112% and the corresponding margin was 19.3% (17.0). Free cash flow increased by 25% and earnings per share excluding non-recurring items increased by 20% as a result of the earnings improvement.
While delivering growth and improving our profitability, we also continued to invest in expanding the Company to meet a higher demand and strengthen our market position. Our pace of investment in increased delivery capacity is higher than ever. The expansion mainly involves an increased workforce and expanded production facilities. Equipping for larger volumes in a short time is challenging; it takes time to calibrate the resource situation to a level that matches order intake. It was gratifying to see MilDef's new production facility in Stockholm County ready for launch in the fourth quarter. We have also decided to invest in increased production capacity in Helsingborg. Our intention with this investment is a production capacity increase of up to 50% with expected completion in summer 2026. These are two examples of initiatives that will strengthen our delivery capacity and create the right conditions to seize future business opportunities, which will result in even more robust earning capacity for the Group.
With the growth journey that MilDef has embarked upon, it is crucial for the Company to meet customer needs and fulfill delivery commitments. It is therefore encouraging that at the beginning of 2026 we saw continuing improvement in the delivery situation. In light of this, we are maintaining our cautiously optimistic view of the supply chain challenges, as some uncertainty still remains and new disruptions in the supply chain can quickly emerge. An example of this is the global market for DRAM and NAND components (SSDs), a market that is currently experiencing increased volatility in both prices and lead times, driven by high demand from the AI industry. MilDef is carefully following developments in close dialogue with customers and suppliers. Although steps have been taken to mitigate any negative consequences on margins and lead times, such consequences may still occur.
During the year we concluded the acquisition of German company roda computer GmbH ("roda"). The acquisition is part of the Company's strategy to increase the pace of expansion in Europe. A well-established supplier of military IT solutions, roda has a strong market presence in Central Europe, mainly in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and particularly in Germany. The integration process is going according to plan and it is becoming increasingly clear that this acquisition came at the right time. With Germany's expressed rearmament ambition to support its defense capability, the prospects are good for continued growth for several years to come. As an example of MilDef's market position, in the fourth quarter roda won its largest contract to date, worth SEK 320 million. Deliveries will be taking place in 2026.
As we look ahead, it is clear that the uncertainties in the geopolitical security situation are making it hard to predict the future. We are focused on delivering on our order backlog and we are expecting continued good demand for our products and solutions. Meanwhile, we are seeing the potential to speed up MilDef's development by continuing to invest in increased capacity. In doing so, we are creating further opportunities in the market while also supporting our customers.
In conclusion I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of our employees for their dedication and hard work in 2025. Your efforts are crucial for MilDef's continued growth journey.

President and CEO of MilDef Group
