About this update from Lassila & Tikanoja Plc

‌ Lassila & Tikanoja Plc Half-Year Financial Report January-June 2026 lt.fi Net sales increased, profitability affected by market environment in waste management The financial information presented in this Half-Year Financial Report is based on actual figures for the financial information for 2026 and the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2025, and on a carve-out basis for the other financial information for 2025. The carve-out financial information does not necessarily reflect what the combined results of operations and financial position of Lassila & Tikanoja would have been had Lassila & Tikanoja operated as a standalone legal group and, accordingly, prepared separate consolidated financial information for the periods presented. Nor does the carve-out financial information necessarily indicate the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of Lassila & Tikanoja in the future. Unless otherwise mentioned, the figures in brackets refer to the corresponding period in the previous year. April-June 2026 highlights Net sales were EUR 116.2 million (109.9). Net sales grew by 5.7%. Adjusted EBITDA was EUR 21.3 million (24.2), representing 18.3% (22.0) of net sales. Adjusted EBITA was EUR 9.8 million (13.3), representing 8.4% (12.1) of net sales. In addition to lower waste management volumes, profitability was burdened by rising fuel prices as well as the increase in gate fees for waste-to-energy. Operating profit was EUR 8.8 million (12.3), representing 7.6% (11.2) of net sales. Earnings per share 1 was EUR 0.14 (0.22). January-June 2026 highlights Net sales were EUR 211.1 million (199.4). Net sales grew by 5.9%. Net sales increased across all service areas, but particularly in the hazardous waste and remediation business. Adjusted EBITDA was EUR 32.8 million (36.9), representing 15.6% (18.5) of net sales. Adjusted EBITA was EUR 10.1 million (15.9), representing 4.8% (8.0) of net sales. In addition to lower waste management volumes, profitability was burdened by rising fuel prices, the increase in gate fees for waste-to-energy as well as increased depreciation and amortisation. Operating profit was EUR 8.0 million (15.8), representing 3.8% (7.9) of net sales. Earnings per share 1 was EUR 0.12 (0.33). Net cash flow from operating activities after investments amounted to EUR -2.7 million (5.4). Taking into account the one-off costs related to the partial demerger and the interest payments on financing loans that were not included in the cash flow of the comparison period, net cash flow from operating activities after investments remained at the previous year's level. On 14 July 2026, the company revised its outlook for the year 2026. In 2026, net sales are estimated to be EUR 420-450 million and adjusted EBITA EUR 33-38 million. 1 Earnings per share are not comparable between periods, as the Company's external borrowings and the related net finance costs, among other items, were not included in the carve-out financial information for 2025. Outlook for the year 2026 (revised 14 July 2026) In 2026, net sales are estimated to be EUR 420-450 million and adjusted EBITA EUR 33-38 million. In 2025, the company's net sales amounted to EUR 426.6 million and adjusted EBITA was EUR 40.6 million (on a carve-out basis). PRESIDENT AND CEO EERO HAUTANIEMI: " In the first half of 2026, net sales amounted to EUR 211.1 million (199.4), representing a year-on-year increase of 5.9 per cent. Organically, net sales increased by 2.8 per cent. In the Waste Management and Recycling service area, net sales increased by 1.0 per cent to EUR 135.7 million (134.3). Net sales grew as a result of the acquisition of the pallet business completed in June 2025. In waste management, the challenging economic environment and weak development in material volumes were reflected in net sales. In the Hazardous Waste and Remediation service area, net sales increased by 33.2 per cent to EUR 38.2 million (28.6), driven by a strong project pipeline in remediation and stable demand for hazardous waste service area. Net sales in Industrial Services and Water Treatment increased by 3.7 per cent to EUR 39.9 million (38.5). Net sales growth was supported by acquisitions completed in December 2025. In 2026, industrial maintenance shutdowns are more heavily weighted towards the second half of the year than in the comparison period. Adjusted EBITA for January-June amounted to EUR 10.1 million (15.9). Profitability in January-June was burdened, in addition to the decline in waste management volumes, by an approximately EUR 3 million increase in costs resulting from higher fuel prices compared with the previous year, as well as an approximately EUR 1 million increase in amortisation related to the ERP system renewal investment. Profitability for the review period was further weakened by the increase in gate fees for waste-to-energy, driven by an oversupply of incinerable waste in the market. Over the longer term, the oversupply of waste incineration capacity in Finland is expected to create downward pressure on gate fees. During the second quarter, L&T implemented price increases and launched a comprehensive efficiency programme to improve the cost structure of its waste management operations. In addition, on 7 July 2026, the company concluded change negotiations, which will result in up to 20 employees having their employment terminated and up to 420 employees being temporarily laid off for 14 or 30 days. The company estimates that the measures already implemented and currently under way will enable it to achieve the same level of adjusted EBITA in the second half of the year as in the corresponding period of the previous year. The outlook is based on the assumption that a prolonged war in Iran will not significantly increase fuel prices from their current level. L&T signed an agreement on 18 May 2026 to acquire the share capital of Kempeleen Siirtokuljetus Oy and its subsidiary Kempeleen Jätekuljetus Oy. The transaction supports L&T's strategic growth objectives and strengthens L&T's waste management and recycling service offering in the North Ostrobothnia region. In 2025, the combined revenue of the companies was approximately EUR 14 million, and they employ around 50 people. Net cash flow from operating activities after investments in the first half of the year amounted to EUR - 2.7 million (5.4). Taking into account the one-off costs related to the partial demerger and the interest payments on financing loans that were not included in the cash flow of the comparison period, net cash flow from operating activities after investments remained at the previous year's level. During the second quarter, L&T launched the modernisation of its Kerava recycling facility. The aim of the upgrade is to increase the recovery of recyclable fractions from the facility's sorting process for recycling. Additionally, a new recycling centre was opened in Kuopio, creating even better conditions for increasing the recycling rate in the Savo and North Karelia regions. L&T's steady sustainability performance continued during the review period. The total recordable injury frequency (TRIF) decreased to 18 (24), and the sickness-related absence rate declined compared with the comparison period. L&T's direct emissions (Scope 1 and 2) continued to decrease."

Differences between the actual figures and the carve-out principles affect the presentation of certain key performance indicators. Key figures based on equity, interest-bearing liabilities and net interest-bearing liabilities are presented only as at 31 December 2025 and 30 June 2026, as the information for earlier periods prepared on a carve-out basis does not reflect the capital and financing structure of Lassila & Tikanoja. GROUP NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE April-June Net sales for the second quarter amounted to EUR 116.2 million (109.9), representing an increase of 5.7% compared with the comparison period. Organic growth in net sales was 3.5%. Net sales in the Waste Management and Recycling service area increased to EUR 71.2 million (70.6), supported by the pallet business acquired in June 2025. Organically, net sales in the service area declined due to the challenging market conditions in waste management. Net sales in the Hazardous Waste and Remediation service area increased to EUR 22.8 million (16.2), driven by remediation projects. Net sales in Industrial Services and Water Treatment decreased to EUR 23.9 million (24.5) due to the timing of industrial maintenance shutdowns. In 2026, the maintenance shutdowns are more heavily weighted towards the second half of the year compared with the comparison period. Adjusted EBITA amounted to EUR 9.8 million (13.3), representing 8.4% (12.1) of net sales. Operating profit was EUR 8.8 million (12.3), representing 7.6% (11.2) of net sales. In the review period, profitability was burdened, in addition to the decline in waste management volumes, by higher fuel prices resulting from the Middle East crisis, which increased costs by approximately EUR 2.5 million compared with the previous year. Amortisation related to the ERP system renewal project implemented in June 2025 increased amortisation for April-June by approximately EUR 0.3 million compared with the previous year. Profitability for the review period was further weakened by the increase in gate fees for waste-to-energy, driven by an oversupply of incinerable waste in the market. Over the longer term, the oversupply of waste incineration capacity in Finland is expected to create downward pressure on gate fees. Operating profit included a total of EUR 0.5 million in items affecting comparability, primarily related to the partial demerger. The net finance expenses for the second quarter amounted to EUR -1.8 million (-1.4). The share of the profit of the joint venture Laania Oy was EUR -0.4 million (-0.5). Net financial expenses for years 2026 and 2025 are not comparable, as the Company's external loans and the related net financial expenses have not been included in the carve-out financial information. January-June Net sales for January-June amounted to EUR 211.1 million (199.4), representing an increase of 5.9% compared with the comparison period. Organic growth in net sales was 2.8%.

Operating profit was EUR 8.0 million (15.8), representing 3.8% (7.9) of net sales. In the first half of the year, profitability was burdened, in addition to the decline in waste management volumes, by higher fuel prices resulting from the Middle East crisis, which increased costs by approximately EUR 3.0 million compared with the previous year. Amortisation related to the ERP system renewal project implemented in June 2025 increased amortisation for January-June by approximately EUR 0.8 million compared with the previous year. Profitability for the review period was further weakened by the increase in gate fees for waste-to-energy, driven by an oversupply of incinerable waste in the market. Over the longer term, the oversupply of waste incineration capacity in Finland is expected to create downward pressure on gate fees. Operating profit included a total of EUR 1.0 million in items affecting comparability, primarily related to the partial demerger.

A total of EUR 13.9 million in working capital was tied up during the review period (EUR 12.4 million tied up). Net cash flow from operating activities after investments was EUR -2.7 million (5.4). Cash flow was weakened by payments of items related to the partial demerger between Lassila & Tikanoja and Luotea, totalling EUR 5.9 million. Taking into account the one-off payments related to the partial demerger and the interest payments on financing loans that were not included in the cash flow of the comparison period, net cash flow from operating activities after investments remained at the previous year's level.

Net interest-bearing liabilities totalled EUR 171.1 million. The average interest rate on long-term loans, excluding lease liabilities, was 3.3 per cent.

During the second quarter, the company exercised the first extension option included in its EUR 35 million and EUR 15 million term loans, thereby extending their maturity to June 2029. At the end of the review period, the Company's EUR 100.0 million commercial paper programme, EUR 10.0 million overdraft facility and EUR 40.0 million committed credit facility were undrawn. Net financial expenses totalled EUR -3.6 million (-2.3). Net financial expenses were 1.7% (1.2) of net sales.

SUSTAINABILITY L&T's sustainability performance remained stable during the review period. Occupational safety remained at the excellent level achieved in the early part of the year. The carbon handprint decreased by 3% compared with the comparison period. The carbon handprint is not yet increasing at a rate that exceeds revenue growth, as targeted. The single largest factor behind the decline in the carbon handprint is the continued decrease in the volume of recovered paper. L&T's direct emissions (Scope 1 and 2) continued to decrease. L&T launched the modernisation of its Kerava recycling facility. The aim of the upgrade is to increase the yield of recyclable fractions recovered through the facility's sorting process and directed to recycling. The recycling rate is not fully comparable with the comparison period due to the renewal of the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. There have been no significant changes in the development of material flows directed to recycling.

CHANGES IN THE GROUP EXECUTIVE BOARD Lassila & Tikanoja Plc announced on 16 February 2026, that a member of Lassila & Tikanoja Plc's Group Executive Board, Hilppa Rautpalo (Senior Vice President, Legal, HR and EHSQ), has announced her decision to leave the company to take up a new position outside the organisation. Rautpalo left the company at the end of April 2026. Lassila & Tikanoja Plc announced on 19 March 2026, that Eero Hautaniemi, who has served as President and CEO of Lassila & Tikanoja Plc since 2019, has informed the company of his wish to step down from his position no later than 30 June 2027. The Board of Directors of the company has initiated the recruitment process for a new President and CEO. Lassila & Tikanoja Plc announced on 1 June 2026, that the Company has appointed Arttu Lindroos (43, B.Sc.) as SVP, HR and a member of the Group Executive Board. Lindroos will assume his position on 1 September 2026 and will report to the President and CEO. EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD On 14 July 2026, Lassila & Tikanoja issued a negative profit warning and revised its outlook for 2026. Under the updated outlook, net sales for 2026 are estimated to be EUR 420-450 million and adjusted EBITA EUR 33-38 million. Under the previously published outlook, net sales for 2026 were expected to be EUR 420-450 million and adjusted EBITA EUR 38-44 million. NEAR-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES General economic uncertainty may affect the level of economic activity among customers and the development of material volumes, which may reduce the demand for L&T's services. Lassila & Tikanoja's business is susceptible to economic fluctuations and changing market conditions and variations in the industries of L&T's customers may affect the demand for L&T's services and solutions. Lassila & Tikanoja's business lines are competitive, and increased competition or failure in reacting to competitive situations may result in L&T losing market position. Lassila & Tikanoja's business is sensitive to fluctuations in the pricing and supply of fuels, materials, raw materials, and capital goods. Especially in the short term, disruptions in the operations of waste-to-energy plants may have a negative impact on the company's profitability. The Finnish Waste Act was amended in July 2021. Under the reforms to the Waste Act, municipalities take on a larger role in organising the collection of packaging materials and biowaste from housing properties. L&T estimates that, as a result of municipalisation, approximately EUR 100 million of the Finnish waste management market will be moved out of the scope of free competition between 2024 and 2028. L&T is a significant operator in municipal contracts and estimates that the overall impact of the change will be negative. Lassila & Tikanoja may become liable for environmental damages, which could result in significant costs and reputational harm. The company has completed several ERP system implementations. Temporary additional costs related to the stabilisation of the systems and operating model, as well as the working capital tied up during the transition, may adversely affect the company's financial performance. Lassila & Tikanoja's merger and acquisition activities expose L&T to various risks that may have a material adverse effect on its business operations. Lassila & Tikanoja operates in a labour-intensive industry and failures in recruiting skilled personnel, losing senior managers or key employees or other disruptions in the availability or work capacity of personnel may adversely affect L&T's business, and it may fail in recruiting and retaining people with the required skill set. Lassila & Tikanoja's operations and services rely largely on data networks and digital solutions, and any malfunctions in and breaches or attacks targeting such networks and solutions as well as potential failures in information system development projects as well as lack of adequate data processing agreements may adversely affect the business and financial position of L&T and lead to reputational damage. The geopolitical situation involves uncertainty stemming from Russia's war of aggression, the crisis in the Middle East and the United States' trade and tariff policy. The indirect effects of these factors on general economic activity and cost levels in Finland and Sweden may adversely affect net sales and profitability. ‌Half-Year Financial Report 1 January - 30 June 2026: Tables‌ Contents Key figures of the Group Key figures Reconciliation of alternative performance measures Key figures by quarter Calculation of key figures Primary financial statements Consolidated income statement Consolidated statement of comprehensive income Consolidated statement of financial position Consolidated statement of cash flows Consolidated statement of changes in equity Notes Basis of preparation Net sales Business acquisitions Intangible and tangible assets Capital commitments Provisions Financial assets and liabilities Related-party transactions Commitments and contingent liabilities ‌Key figures of the Group Key figures 4-6/2025 1-6/2025 1-12/2025 In EUR million, unless otherwise indicated 4-6/2026 Carve-out 1-6/2026 Carve-out Carve-out Net sales 116.2 109.9 211.1 199.4 426.6 Net sales growth, % 5.7 n/a 5.9 n/a 0.7 Adjusted EBITDA 21.3 24.2 32.8 36.9 84.3 Adjusted EBITDA margin, % 18.3 22.0 15.6 18.5 19.8 EBITDA 20.9 23.6 31.8 37.7 79.8 EBITDA margin, % 17.9 21.5 15.1 18.9 18.7 Adjusted EBITA 9.8 13.3 10.1 15.9 40.6 Adjusted EBITA margin, % 8.4 12.1 4.8 8.0 9.5 Operating profit 8.8 12.3 8.0 15.8 34.2 Result for the period 5.2 8.4 4.7 12.5 25.7 Earnings per share, EUR 1 Net cash flow from operating activities after 0.14 0.22 0.12 0.33 0.67 investments 0.5 1.8 -2.7 5.4 41.4 Net cash flow from operating activities after investments per share, EUR 1 0.01 0.05 -0.07 0.14 1.08 Gross capital expenditure 6.5 15.8 10.7 19.2 41.7 Equity / share, EUR 4.20 n/a 4.52 Capital employed 349.5 334.4 360.4 Return on capital employed, % (ROCE) 8.4 n/a 10.6 Return on equity, % (ROE) 9.1 n/a 12.1 Net interest-bearing liabilities 171.1 n/a 150.2 Net debt / Adjusted EBITDA (rolling 12 months) 2.1x n/a 1.8x Equity ratio, % 32.9 n/a 35.0 Gearing, % 106.9 n/a 86.9 Average number of employees in full-time equivalents (FTEs) 1,900 1,887 1,907 Number of employees at the end of the period 2,456 2,233 2,236 Share issue-adjusted number of shares, 1,000 shares average during the period 38,131 n/a 38,212 at the end of the period 38,090 n/a 38,212 average during the period, diluted 38,273 n/a 38,320 1 January-June 2025 calculated based on the number of shares at the date of the demerger 31 December 2025. Differences between the actual figures and the carve-out principles affect the presentation of certain key performance indicators. Key figures based on equity, interest-bearing liabilities and net interest-bearing liabilities are presented only as at 30 June 2026 and 31 December 2025, as the information for earlier periods prepared on a carve -out basis does not reflect the capital and financing structure of Lassila & Tikanoja. For the calculation of key figures based on the number of shares, the number of shares at the date of demerger, 31 December 2025, has been applied for January-June 2025.

IFRS financial reporting standard amendments that became effective after 1 January 2026 have not had a material impact on the Half-Year Financial report. The financial figures presented in this Half-Year Financial Report are based on actual figures for the financial information for 2026 and the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2025, and on a carve-out basis for the other financial information for 2025. The carve-out principles are consistent with the carve-out principles presented in the 2025 financial statements. Lassila & Tikanoja has one operating and reportable segment (Circular Economy business). Net sales by service area are presented in Note 2. Net sales. Differences between actual figures and the carve-out principles affect the presentation of certain key figures. Key figures based on equity, interest-bearing liabilities and net interest-bearing liabilities are presented only as at 31 December 2025 and as at 30 June 2026, as the carve-out financial information for prior periods does not reflect the capital and financing structure of Lassila & Tikanoja. In calculating per-share key figures, the number of shares outstanding at the date of the demerger, 31 December 2025, has been used for the comparative periods. The carve-out financial information does not necessarily reflect what the combined results of operations, financial position or cash flows would have been had Lassila & Tikanoja operated as an independent legal group and prepared separate consolidated financial information for the periods presented. Nor does the carve-out financial information necessarily indicate the future results of operations, financial position or cash flows of Lassila & Tikanoja. The information in this Half-Year Financial Report is presented in millions of euros unless otherwise stated. All figures have been rounded and, accordingly, the sum of individual figures may differ from the totals presented. Further information on the basis of preparation is available in the Lassila & Tikanoja Plc consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2025. This Half-Year Financial Report is unaudited. ‌Net sales Disaggregation of revenue Net sales consist of services for which revenue is recognised over time, products for which revenue is recognised at a point in time as well as lease income.
