Events during the quarter and since the end of the quarter

• In October, Balco has received an order of more than 70 MSEK in Northern Sweden.
• Balco has received its first order in Ireland with a value of just over 3 MEUR.
• Balco Group has joined the Science Based Targes initiative.
• Balco Group has prolonged its RCF with Danske Bank with two years and it is now valid until October 12, 2026.

" Weak order intake during the quarter but continued great interest in our products. The need to take action on your balcony does not disappear. In the long run, an untreated balcony poses a danger to both the resident and those who move around the balcony. "

" Balco is entering a new market as we have taken our first order in Ireland with a value of approx. 3 MEUR. We assess that there is great potential in this market going forward within the new build segment. "
