Key core markets remained weak and the construction industry is still confronted with low momentum in the non-residential sector, even though we can now see the first signs of an end to the recession. The professional lighting market, which reacts with a delay to economic cycles, has not been able to benefit from the expected recovery up to now. This challenging economic environment was reflected in subdued performance by the Zumtobel Group: Revenues declined by 6.9% to EUR 537.6 million in the first half year. In the Lighting Segment, Group revenues fell by 6.0% to EUR 428.7 million (H1 2024/25: EUR 456.1 million). Positive contributions from parts of the D/A/CH region and Southern and Eastern Europe were unable to offset the weaker demand in Northern and Western Europe and in Asia. The Components Segment recorded a decline of 12.3% in revenues to EUR 138.0 million (H1 2024/25: EUR 157.3 million), whereby the difficult economic climate was responsible for lower revenues in all regions. Adjusted Group EBIT totalled EUR 31.6 million (H1 2024/25: EUR 41.2 million) and the margin equalled 5.9%. These numbers point to an immediate need for action, and we are therefore concentrating on our strategic goals. We are working hard to further improve efficiency, drive innovation and sustainably strengthen our market position. Our efficiency programme is creating the basis to lead the Zumtobel Group safely through challenging times and optimally prepared to meet future developments. Measures involving selling and administrative costs (SG&A) are already being implemented, while similar actions for operations, research & development and procurement were recently defined. Our goal is not only short-term cost reduction, but also the structural improvement of margins and the sustainable strengthening of our competitive position. The expansion of our Global Business Centres in Serbia and Portugal underscores the necessity of closely linking efficiency and innovation - and will strengthen the central value drivers for sustainable profitability and long-term shareholder value generation. The future will bring better integration for key exper tise, streamlined processes and shorter development cycles. This expansion is intended to support the consequent focus on leaner structures, higher development momentum and the more efficient bundling of global know-how. Dear Shareholders: We are paving the way to consequently focus our company on sustainable growth and innovative strength. With clear strategy and decisive actions, we are addressing the current changes on the market and creating the basis for a resilient position in the future. The market environment remains tense and makes it difficult to issue an exact forecast for the 2025/26 financial year. Geopolitical risks, volatile procurement markets and weak demand - especially in the new construction segment - have a negative impact on the development of our business. The direct effects of US tariff policies have only a limited influence on the Zumtobel Group, but increased competition and delayed investment decisions could lead to a further decline in revenues. At the same time, regulatory initiatives in the EU and Germany as well as efficiency and stability measures create opportunities to strengthen the sector. We continue to expect a revenue decline in the single-digit percentage range and an adjusted EBIT margin of 1% to 4% for the 2025/26 financial year. Dear Shareholders: On behalf of the Zumtobel Group, I would like to thank you for your continuing confidence. Alfred Felder Chief Executive Officer (CEO) The Zumtobel Group AG Share Based on an unchanged number of 43,146,657 common shares outstanding, the market capitalisation of Zumtobel Group AG totalled EUR 161 million at the end of October 2025. The shareholder structure has not changed since the end of the 2024/25 financial year: The Zumtobel family continues to hold approximately 36% of the voting rights and has remained the stable core shareholder of Zumtobel Group AG since the IPO. Most of the remaining shares are held by institutional investors, none of whom exceeded the 4% reporting threshold as of 31 October 2025. The average daily turnover on the Vienna Stock Exchange amounted to 40,223 shares in the first half of 2025/26 (double count, as published by the Vienna Stock Exchange). The company held 808,945 treasury shares as of 31 October 2025 (31 October 2024: 566,821 treasury shares).

The risks remain high despite the lower-than-expected impact on global growth of the US tariffs announced in April. Political conflicts remain unsolved and inflation is still too high in a number of markets, while the budgetary situation in many countries is tense and leads to consolidation efforts which, in turn, slow growth - at least over the short-term. The global economy is projected to grow by 3.2% in 2025 and 3.1% in 2026. The outlook for the USA is positive, but with a more moderate increase of 2.0% as indicated in the July 2025 forecast. Europe will remain weaker, and the forecasts were also generally confirmed here. The IMF forecast for the eurozone points to growth of only 1.2% in 2025 and 1.1% in 2026, while the estimates for other major European markets like the United Kingdom were confirmed at 1.3% for 2025 and 2026. IMF projections for the D/A/CH region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland), an important market for the Zumtobel Group, indicate general stagnation for Germany and Austria in 2025 as well as a slight increase of 0.9% for Switzerland. The easing of balanced budget regulations in Germany and economic recovery in Austria and Switzerland should support stronger growth in 2026. EUROCONSTRUCT data from June 2025 - more current data was not available when this report was prepared - indicate that commercial construction has emerged from the recession. However, growth will remain weak this year (+0.8%), before improving in 2026 and 2027 (in each year: +1.8%). Significant Events since 30 April 2025 The 49th General Meeting of Zumtobel Group AG on 26 September 2025 approved the payment of a 15 euro cents dividend per share for the 2024/25 financial year. The dividends were distributed to shareholders on 3 October 2025. The 49th General Meeting of Zumtobel Group AG on 26 September 2025 extended the term of office of the previous second vice-chairman, Volkhard Hofmann, and elected Peter Ernst Gaugg to the Supervisory Board. The terms of office for the elected members extend to the General Meeting in 2028. Christian Beer resigned from the Supervisory Board at the end of this year's General Meeting. In the following constituent meeting, Karin Zumtobel-Chammah was re-elected chairwoman of the Supervisory Board. On 1 August 2025, the Zumtobel Group announced the upcoming termination of production in Highland, New York. Approximately 70 employees are affected by this shutdown. Zumtobel Group AG assumes the termination of production will lead to negative special effects, whereby most will be recognised in 2025/26. The resulting special effects will more than amortise in the coming years. No other significant events occurred after the closing date on 30 April 2025. Subsequent Events No material events occurred after the interim closing date on 31 October 2025.

Revenue decline of 6.9% Lighting Segment revenues fall by 6.0% Components Segment with revenue minus of 12.3% Adjusted EBIT falls to EUR 31.6 million Special effects of EUR -10.8 million Revenues recorded by the Zumtobel Group declined by 6.9% to EUR 537.6 million in H1 2025/26 (H1 2024/25: EUR 577.6 million). The still challenging economic environment was reflected in earnings weakness across all Group regions. After an adjustment for foreign exchange effects, the decline equalled 6.4%. In the Lighting Segment, revenues fell by 6.0% to EUR 428.7 million in H1 2025/26 (H1 2024/25: EUR 456.1 million). Higher revenues in parts of the D/A/CH region and in Southern and in Eastern Europe were unable to completely offset the generally negative development. The Components Segment reported a year-on-year decline of 12.3% in revenues to EUR 138.0 million in H1 2025/26 (H1 2024/25: EUR 157.3 million). The difficult economic environment was responsible for weaker performance in all regions.

Adjusted development costs fell by EUR 1.0 million to EUR 33.6 million during this same period (H1 2024/25: EUR 34.6 million). Lower fixed cost coverage was reflected in a reduction of the gross profit margin to 37.7% (H1 2024/25: 38.1%). Adjusted selling and administrative expenses (incl. research) improved to EUR -171.3 million, compared with EUR -179.1 million in H1 2024/25. Adjusted EBIT for the Zumtobel Group fell from EUR 41.2 million in H1 2024/25 to EUR 31.6 million in H1 2025/26. The adjusted EBIT margin equalled 5.9% (H1 2024/25: 7.1%), whereby the decline resulted primarily from the loss of revenues. Adjusted EBIT in the Lighting Segment declined from EUR 38.0 million in the first half of the previous year to EUR 33.7 million in H1 2025/26. Fixed cost reductions were unable to make up for the decline in revenues. The earlier receipt of the research grant represented a positive effect (the research grant for the previous year was received in Q3 2024/25), but was unable to fully offset the decline. The challenging market situation was responsible for a reduction in both earnings and margins in the Components Segment. Adjusted EBIT in the Components Segments fell from EUR 11.2 million to EUR 7.0 million in H1 2025/26. The earlier receipt of the research grant was only able to offset part of the decline (the research grant for the previous year was received in Q3 2024/25). Special effects of EUR -10.8 million were recognised in H1 2025/26. They include restructuring costs in connection with the termination of production in Highland, New York (EUR -6.0 million). The recognised special effects also include the write-off of goodwill in the CGU Components (EUR -2.0 million), write-downs to capitalised development projects (EUR -2.7 million), and an investment grant received from the Portuguese government (EUR 1.4 million). EBIT recorded by the Zumtobel Group fell to EUR 20.7 million (H1 2024/25: EUR 30.0 million), and the EBIT margin equalled 3.9% in H1 2025/26 (H1 2024/25: 5.2%). Q2 Q2 Change H1 H1 Change Financial result in EUR million 2025/26 2024/25 in % 2025/26 2024/25 in % Interest expense -2.4 -2.8 -15.9 -4.7 -5.6 -16.9 Interest income 0.1 0.2 -39.7 0.4 0.4 7.6 Net financing costs -2.3 -2.6 -14.0 -4.3 -5.2 18.6 Other financial income and expenses -0.5 -2.3 79.6 -1.5 -4.3 -64.7 Financial results -2.7 -5.0 44.8 -5.8 -9.5 39.4 Financial results amounted to EUR -5.8 million (H1 2024/25: EUR -9.5 million). Interest expense consisted chiefly of the interest expense for current credit agreements, factoring and finance leases and totalled EUR -4.3 million (H1 2024/25: EUR -5.2 million). The decline is attributable, above all, to lower market interest rates. The other financial income and expenses of EUR -1.5 million consist primarily of the interest expense on pension obligations, the earnings effects from exchange rate changes and the measurement of hedges. Profit before tax totalled EUR 14.9 million in H1 2025/26 (H1 2024/25: EUR 20.5 million), and income taxes equalled EUR -1.5 million (H1 2024/25: EUR -2.0 million). Net profit for the reporting period declined to EUR 13.5 million (H1 2024/25: EUR 18.4 million). Earnings per share for the shareholders of Zumtobel Group AG (basic EPS based on 42.3 million shares) equalled EUR 0.32 (H1 2024/25: EUR 0.43).

Cash outflows from the changes in other operating positions amounted to EUR -20.2 million (H1 2024/25: EUR -13.4 million) and resulted mainly from the reduction of provisions for variable salary components. Cash flow from operating activities increased year-on-year to EUR 35.5 million in H1 2025/26 (H1 2024/25: EUR 33.7 million). Cash flow from investing activities amounted to EUR -21.7 million (H1 2024/25: EUR -20.6 million). In addition to investments in proper ty, plant and equipment, this position also included investments of EUR 8.8 million (H1 2024/25: EUR 6.4 million) for capitalised development costs. Financial results above previous year Net profit totals EUR 13.5 million Free cash flow at EUR 13.7 million Solid balance sheet structure Risk management for the early identification of opportunities and risks Review of the first half year Free cash flow increased slightly to EUR 13.7 million (H1 2024/25: EUR 13.0 million). Cash flow from financing activities totalled EUR 8.6 million in H1 2025/26 (H1 2024/25: EUR -20.6 million). The year-on-year change resulted primarily from the increased use of the consortium credit agreement and the loan from the European Investment Bank. A further effect resulted from the reduced dividend payment.

Working capital totalled EUR 217.6 million as of 31 October 2025 and was EUR 10.2 million lower than on 30 April 2025 (EUR 227.8 million). The main driver compared with 30 April 2025 involved the reduction of inventories. As a per cent of rolling 12-month revenues, working capital declined slightly from 20.8% to 20.6%. The equity ratio remained nearly unchanged at 42.8% as of 31 October 2025 (30 April 2025: 42.9%). Equity rose slightly over the level on 30 April 2025 by EUR 5.7 million from EUR 424.9 million to EUR 430.6 million. Net liabilities were also nearly unchanged at EUR 120.0 million as of 31 October 2025 (30 April 2025: EUR 118.5 million). The balance sheet structure of the Zumtobel Group remains stable and strong. Major risks and uncertainties in the 2025/26 financial year The Zumtobel Group is committed to an effective risk management system as an important factor for maintaining and expanding its competitive position. The goal of risk management is to identify risks and opportunities at an early point in time through a systematic approach, and thereby permit the implementation of suitable measures to deal with changes in the operating environment. The first half year was influenced by substantial economic uncer tainty but the global economy proved to be stable. In key core markets, above all in Europe, economic development remains subdued. The construction industry is still confronted with weak momentum in the non-residential sector, even though there are signs of an end to the recession. The professional lighting market, which generally reacts with a delay to economic cycles, has not yet benefited from the expected recovery and has fallen below the prior year level in major markets. The procurement environment is characterised by a wide range of challenges and high volatility. Bottlenecks and extended delivery times, especially for electronic components, have become a growing problem and reflect the global political tensions and strong increase in demand. The cost situation for mechanical materials remains strained because many raw materials are available but are trading at substantially higher prices. In addition, external factors like energy prices and inflation also have a substantial negative impact on production costs. The Zumtobel Group works to counter these developments with comprehensive risk management and diversified procurement strategies as well as the continuous introduction of new technologies and automated solutions. The goal is to increase supply security, optimise costs and sustainably increase process efficiency. The development of the economy and the resulting trends in the construction industry remain major risk factors. Instability is fuelled by ongoing geopolitical uncer tainties, especially the conflict between Russia and Ukraine as well as the inconsistent US trade policies. Europe is expected to generate only weak growth in 2025 and 2026, and recovery is proceeding very slowly in the construction industry. Efficient cost management is, consequently, essential to remain competitive. The issue of sustainability is becoming more and more important. The lighting industry will benefit from sustainability efforts and the prohibition of fluorescent lights in the EU and other markets, which should drive the conversion from conventional lighting to LED. However, the speed of this conversion in the individual countries is still unclear and will be dependent on the respective subsidy policies. The tense budgetary situation in key markets and the related consolidation measures could slow the transformation. The procurement markets remain volatile. Even the smallest geopolitical or economic changes could have a strong impact on prices and availability. Companies that implement digital technologies, flexible sourcing strategies and sustainable supply chains at an early stage are better equipped to manage future disruptions. The Zumtobel Group is therefore targeting investments in these areas to play a pioneering role. Information on other potential risks and opportunities for the Zumtobel Group is provided in the annual report for 2024/25. Based on the information currently available, there are no material individual risks at the present time that could endanger the company's continuing existence as a going concern. Outlook for the 2025/26 financial year >> Revenue decline in the single-digit percentage range confirmed >> Adjusted EBIT margin between 1% and 4% confirmed The market environment remains challenging - for the Zumtobel Group and for other market participants - because economic developments in the Group's key markets are currently impossible to predict. The geopolitical situation is still precarious and the impact of US tariff policies - although the direct effects on the Zumtobel Group are minimal because only a very low share of revenue is generated in that market -could further increase competition and slow growth. This directly affects the Zumtobel Group as well as customers who have decided to postpone new construction projects or outsource outside Europe. Demand for the Zumtobel Group's products and services, especially in the new construction sector, is still weak and has been reflected longer customer decision cycles and project delays that additionally impair business activity. In contrast, positive factors include the initiatives at the EU level and in Germany which will strengthen the sector in the future and could contribute to an upturn. Outlook on the second half-year Reference to 2024/25 annual report Outlook 2025/26: Revenue decline in the single-digit percentage range and adjusted EBIT margin of 1-4% The management of the Zumtobel Group continues to see the current geopolitical and economic situation as stressed and difficult to forecast. That makes it difficult to predict economic developments in the 2025/26 financial year. Against this backdrop and with reference to the above-mentioned uncer tainties, the Management Board of Zumtobel Group still expects a revenue decline in the single-digit percentage range and an adjusted EBIT margin of 1% to 4% for the 2025/26 financial year.

Condensed Notes Accounting and Valuation Methods The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period from 1 May 2025 to 31 October 2025 were prepared in accordance with the principles of Financial Reporting Standards, Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34).The Zumtobel Group elected to use the option permitted by IAS 34 and provide condensed notes. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of 31 October 2025 were based on the International Financial Reporting Standards and the related interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as applied in the European Union (EU), which were in effect on the balance sheet date. The accounting and valuation methods applied as of 31 October 2025 reflect the methods applied in preparing the consolidated financial statements as of 30 April 2025, with the exception of the IFRSs which required mandatory application after 1 January 2025. A detailed description of these methods is provided in the consolidated financial statements for 2024/25 under note 2.6.3 "Accounting and Valuation Methods". Additional information on the effects of new standards can also be found under "Effects of new and revised standards and interpretations". The consolidated financial statements for the 2024/25 financial year are also available online under https://z.lighting/de/group/investor-relations/ As of 31 October 2025, there were indications of possible impairment to the cash-generating units CGU Components and CGU Lighting and impairment tests were subsequently carried out. Recoverability was determined by estimating the recoverable amount of the respective cash-generating unit (CGU). This amount is based on forecasted cash flows and the average weighted cost of capital (WACC) used for discounting.The measurement period covers a four-year detailed planning period, a transition year and a perpetual annuity. Planning is based on external forecasts, experience and estimates by the Management Board on the market environment and the development of earnings. Three scenarios were analysed for each of the two CGUs: a baseline scenario, a worst-case scenario and a best case scenario.They were weighted at 60%, respectively 20% each. CGU Lighting: >> Baseline scenario (weighting: 60%):The medium-term planning assumed a continuation of the growth trend up to the end of the detailed planning period at an average annual growth rate of 3.6%. The Strategy 2030, the steadily growing renovation business and the service business were identified as the main drivers. New impulses are also expected from TECTON II. >> Best case scenario (weighting: 20%): Under the assumption of stronger development in the market environment, the average annual growth rate was raised to 4.5%. >> Worst case scenario (weighting: 20%): Under the assumption of weaker revenue growth, the average annual growth rate was reduced to 2.2%. CGU Components: >> Baseline scenario (weighting: 60%): The medium-term planning assumed gradual recovery up to a previous level by the end of the detailed planning period at an average annual growth rate of 6.5%. Energy efficiency and sustainability were identified as the main drivers. >> Best case scenario (weighting: 20%): Under the assumption of an accelerated recovery, the average annual growth rate was raised to 7.3%. >> Worst case scenario (weighting: 20%): Under the assumption of weaker revenue growth, the average annual growth rate was reduced to 5.3%. The following assumptions were made in planning the scenarios: Cash flow forecast period: 4 years Pre-tax discount rate: LS: 10.5% (H1 2025/26), 10.5% (FY 2024/25) CS: 10.7% (H1 2025/26), 10.6% (FY 2024/25) >> Cash flow forecast period: Cash flow forecast period: four-year forecast prepared by management and approved/reviewed by the Management Board. >> Pre-tax discount rate: reflects specific risks in the respective CGUs and in the countries where they operate. Recoverable amount: The coverage surplus in the CGU Lighting equalled EUR 40,5 million (FY 2024/25: coverage surplus of EUR 75.3 million). The coverage shortfall in the CGU Components equalled EUR 2.1 million (FY 2024/25 coverage surplus of EUR 40.2 million). Additional information on the impairment testing of goodwill is provided in the section on goodwill under "Selected Notes to the Consolidated Balance Sheet". In order to improve the transparency and explanatory power of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, certain items were combined on the balance sheet, the income statement and the statement of comprehensive income and are presented separately in the notes. The amounts in the tables are presented in thousand euros (TEUR), unless stated otherwise. The use of automatic data processing equipment can lead to rounding differences. The reporting packages of the companies included in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements were prepared on the basis of uniform accounting and valuation principles. The preparation of consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of judgments, estimates and assumptions by management, which have an influence on the amount and reporting of recognised assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and the disclosures on contingent liabilities in the condensed consolidated interim financial report. Macroeconomic environment and effects of global uncertainty The "World Economic Outlook" issued by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in October 2025 includes a stable outlook for the global economy.The risks remain high despite the lower-than-expected impact on global growth of the US tariffs announced in April. Political conflicts remain unsolved and inflation is still too high in a number of markets, while the budgetary situation in many countries is tense and leads to consolidation efforts which, in turn, slow growth - at least over the short-term. The construction industry is still confronted with low momentum in the non-residential construction sector, even though there are signs of an end to the recession.The professional lighting market, which generally reacts to economic cycles with a delay, has not yet benefited from the expected recovery and has fallen below the prior year level in major markets. The procurement environment is characterised by a wide range of challenges and high volatility. Bottlenecks and extended delivery times, especially for electronic components, have become a growing problem and reflect the global political tensions and strong increase in demand. The cost situation for mechanical materials remains strained because many raw materials are available but are trading at substantially higher prices. In addition, external factors like energy prices and inflation also have a substantial negative impact on production costs. The economic environment and the resulting climate in the construction industry continue to represent material risk factors. Instability is fuelled by ongoing geopolitical uncertainties, especially the conflict between Russia and Ukraine as well as the inconsistent US trade policies. Other significant events in the first half of 2025/26 The General Meeting approved the payment of a 15 euro cents dividend per share for the 2024/25 financial year. Dividends totalling TEUR 6,351 (H1 2024/25:TEUR 10,681) were distributed to shareholders on 3 October 2025. The 49th General Meeting extended the term of office of the previous second vice-chairman,Volkhard Hofmann, and elected Peter Ernst Gaugg to the Supervisory Board. The terms of office for the elected members extend to the General Meeting in 2028. Christian Beer resigned from the Supervisory Board at the end of this year's General Meeting. In the following constituent meeting, Karin Zumtobel-Chammah was re-elected chairwoman of the Supervisory Board. On 1 August 2025, the Zumtobel Group announced the upcoming termination of production in Highland, New York. Approximately 70 employees are affected by this shutdown.The related measures are reflected in special effects of TEUR 5,992 for restricting costs in 2025/26. Foreign Currency Translation The most important currencies for the conversion of the subsidiaries' financial statements into EUR are listed in the following table: Average exchange rate: Income Statement Closing rate: Balance Sheet 1 EUR equals 31 October 2025 31 October 2024 31 October 2025 30 April 2025 AUD 1.7773 1.6331 1.7672 1.7798 CHF 0.9346 0.9562 0.9287 0.9389 GBP 0.8613 0.8453 0.8816 0.8518 NOK 11.7136 11.6873 11.6485 11.8090 SEK 11.0395 11.4458 10.9250 10.9715 USD 1.1586 1.0907 1.1554 1.1373 Scope of consolidation The condensed consolidated interim financial statements include all major Austrian and foreign companies that are controlled by Zumtobel Group AG. In the first half of the 2025/26 financial year - as was the case on April 30, 2025- 86 companies were included through full consolidation and no companies were included at equity. Selected Notes to the Consolidated Income Statement The following comments explain the major changes to individual items in relation to the comparable prior year period. Revenues Revenues include an adjustment of TEUR 19,154 for sales deductions (H1 2024/25:TEUR 21,595). Gross revenues totalled TEUR 556,735 (H1 2024/25:TEUR 599,221). Expenses The income statement was prepared in accordance with the cost of sales method.The following categories of income and expenses are included in the cost of goods sold (incl. development costs), selling expenses (incl. research costs), administrative expenses and other operating results: 1st Half-Year 2025/26 in TEUR Cost of goods sold Selling expenses Administrative expenses Other operating results Total Cost of materials (208,823) (2,885) (50) 0 (211,758) Personnel expenses (89,859) (87,638) (25,609) 0 (203,106) Depreciation (20,379) (4,959) (4,350) (2,048) (31,736) Other expenses (26,354) (45,356) (18,451) 0 (90,161) Own work capitalised 9,798 1,529 (3) 0 11,324 Internal charges (8,427) (16,026) 24,453 0 0 Total expenses (344,043) (155,335) (24,010) (2,048) (525,436) Other income 1,951 346 571 5,703 8,571 Total (342,092) (154,989) (23,439) 3,655 (516,865) 1st Half-Year 2024/25 in TEUR Cost of goods sold Selling expenses Administrative expenses Other operating results Total Cost of materials (227,479) (3,903) 0 0 (231,382) Personnel expenses (94,795) (91,951) (25,820) 0 (212,566) Depreciation (19,726) (4,247) (3,798) 0 (27,771) Other expenses (26,053) (46,334) (16,851) (631) (89,869) Own work capitalised 7,309 1,568 0 0 8,877 Internal charges (8,483) (16,209) 24,692 0 0 Total expenses (369,227) (161,076) (21,777) (631) (552,711) Other income 2,401 448 447 1,763 5,059 Total (366,826) (160,628) (21,330) 1,132 (547,652) The cost of goods sold includes development costs of TEUR 36,431 (H1 2024/25:TEUR 34,575). Other income includes public sector subsidies of TEUR 6,129 (H1 2024/25: TEUR 2,057), which primarily represent research promotion and investment grants. Of this total,TEUR 5,298 (H1 2024/25:TEUR 1.460) are reported under other operating income. The first half of 2025/26 included special effects of TEUR 10,849 (H1 2024/25:TEUR 11,213).The restructuring costs related to the termination of production at a plant in the USA represented the largest position at TEUR 5,992 and included the following: TEUR 3,202 of impairment losses to current assets, TEUR 103 of impairment losses to non-current assets,TEUR 1,674 for personnel expenses and TEUR 1,013 for other expenses. Other material special effects included TEUR 2,589 of write downs to capitalised development projects in the Components Segment as well as a coverage shortfall of TEUR 2,072 from the impairment test to the CGU Components together with the resulting write-off of TEUR 1,978 to goodwill in the CGU Components and the write-down of TEUR 94 to immaterial assets. A contrasting effect was the investment grant of TEUR 1,357 received from the Portuguese government, which is recorded under other income. Other Financial Income and Expenses in TEUR Q2 2025/26 Q2 2024/25 1 HY 2025/26 1 HY 2024/25 Interest component as per IAS 19 less income on plan assets (995) (1,254) (2,031) (2,058) Foreign exchange gains and losses 97 (872) (693) (722) Market valuation of financial instruments 421 (207) 1,209 (1,513) Total (477) (2,333) (1,515) (4,293) Foreign exchange gains and losses include realised and unrealised foreign exchange gains and losses from receivables and liabilities as well as realised foreign exchange gains and losses from currency futures. The position "market valuation of financial instruments" shows the results from the measurement of currency futures at the applicable market prices as of the balance sheet date. Selected Notes to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income Actuarial Gain/Loss The reported actuarial gains of TEUR 43 (H1 2024/25: losses of TEUR 2,295) resulted from revaluation effects from the Group's pension and termination obligations. Currency Differences This position consists of translation effects from the conversion of subsidiaries' financial statements (TEUR 2,077; H1 2024/25:TEUR -743) and effects from foreign currency-related adjustments to goodwill following the application of IAS 21 ("The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates") (TEUR -525; H1 2024/25:TEUR 1,532). The currency reserve also includes a currency effect of TEUR -15 (H1 2024/25:TEUR -14) from non-controlling interests and currency effects of TEUR -54 (H1 2024/25:TEUR -428) from an interest rate hedge. Currency Differences arising from Loans The currency differences arising from loans (TEUR -2,315; H1 2024/25:TEUR 970) result from long-term intragroup loans in GBP, AUD and USD, which are classified as net investments in a foreign operation and must therefore be reported under comprehensive income. Deferred Taxes The deferred taxes recognised in comprehensive income during the first half of 2025/26 (TEUR -329; H1 2024/25:TEUR 713) are related to the provisions for pensions and termination benefits based on actuarial losses as defined in IAS 19 ("Employee Benefits"). Selected Notes to the Consolidated Balance Sheet The following comments refer to major changes in individual items compared to the balance sheet date on 30 April 2025. Goodwill The application of IAS 21 ("The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates") led to foreign currency-based adjustments of TEUR -525 to goodwill in the first half of 2025/26 (H1 2024/25:TEUR 1,532) which were not recognised through profit or loss. Recoverable Amount: The recoverable amount of the CGU Lighting exceeded the carrying amount by EUR 40.5 million (FY 2024/25 EUR 75.0 million). The coverage shortfall in the CGU Components equalled EUR 2.1 million (FY 2024/25: surplus coverage of EUR 40.2 million). In this connection, a write off of TEUR 1,978 to goodwill and a write down of TEUR 94 to intangible assets were recognised in the CGU Components. Effect of Possible Changes in Material Assumptions: In the CGU Lighting, an increase in the pre-tax WACC from 10.5% to 11.1% (H1 2025/26), from 10.5% to 11.6% (FY 2025/26) or a reduction of 6.2% in cash flow (H1 2025/26)/10.8% (FY 2024/25) would reduce the surplus coverage to zero. Inventories: The following table shows the various components of inventories: in TEUR 31 October 2025 30 April 2025 Raw materials 60,098 60,898 Work in process 2,113 1,780 Semi-finished goods 9,877 10,228 Merchandise 25,289 26,544 Finished goods 72,438 77,448 Inventories 169,815 176,898 Current Financial Assets Current financial assets consist primarily of positive market values from hedges in the form of foreign exchange derivatives (TEUR 1,047; 30 April 2025: TEUR 1,258) and also include receivables due from financial institutions from the continuing involvement in a factoring agreement (TEUR 1,649; 30 April 2025:TEUR 1,386). Other Current Assets The increase in other current assets resulted chiefly from an increase in receivables related to the research grant and to higher advance payments made. Non-current Financial Liabilities The increase in non-current financial liabilities is primarily attributable to the draw-down of TEUR 55,000 (30 April 2025: TEUR 75,000) from the consortium credit agreement and from a loan of TEUR 50,000 (30 April 2025:TEUR 0) arranged with the European Investment Bank (EIB). Current Provisions The decline in other current provisions resulted primarily from a reduction in other provisions. Other Current Liabilities The decline of TEUR 6,712 in other current liabilities is chiefly attributable to a reduction in employee-related bonus and holiday liabilities. Contrary effects resulted from an increase in tax liabilities and remuneration liabilities from salary payments to employees. Determination of Fair Value The determination of fair value is based on a three-level hierarcH1 that reflects the valuation certainty. Level 1: Listed prices on active markets for identical instruments Level 2: Valuation based on input factors that can be monitored on the market Level 3: Valuation based on input factors that cannot be monitored on the market The following tables show the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels on the fair value hierarchy.They do not include any information on the fair value of financial assets or financial liabilities that are not carried at fair value when the carrying amount represents an approximation of fair value. 31 October 2025 Assets in TEUR Carrying amount Accounting at fair value amortized cost Fair value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Non-current financial assets 3,960 683 3,277 - Securities and similar rights 683 683 - 683 683 Loans originated and other receivables 3,277 - 3,277 - Current financial assets 2,712 1,047 1,665 - Securities and similar rights 1,649 - 1,649 - Loans originated and other receivables 16 - 16 - Positive market values of derivatives held for trading 1,047 1,047 - 1,047 1,047 Positive market values of derivatives (hedge accounting) - - - - - Trade receivables 163,291 1,649 161,642 1,649 1,649 Liquid funds 62,072 - 62,072 - Total 232,035 3,379 228,656 Liabilities in TEUR Carrying amount Accounting at fair value amortized cost Fair value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Non-current borrowings 157,946 - 157,946 - Loans received 111,165 - 111,165 110,461 110,461 Lease liability 46,781 - 46,781 - Other non-current liabilities 394 394 - - 394 Current borrowings 25,816 - 25,816 - Loans received 1,650 - 1,650 - Working capital credits 12,181 - 12,181 - Lease liability 11,985 - 11,985 - Trade payables 94,987 - 94,987 - Other current liabilities 4,897 4,364 533 4,364 Negative market values of derivatives held for trading 1,115 1,115 - 1,115 1,115 Negative market values of derivatives (hedge accounting) 3,249 3,249 - 3,249 3,249 Other 533 - 533 - Total 284,040 4,758 279,282 30 April 2025 Assets in TEUR Carrying amount Accounting at fair value amortized cost Fair value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Non-current financial assets 4,042 682 3,360 - Securities and similar rights 682 682 - 682 682 Loans originated and other receivables 3,360 - 3,359 - Current financial assets 2,757 1,354 1,403 - Securities and similar rights 1,386 - 1,386 - Loans originated and other receivables 17 - 17 - Positive market values of derivatives held for trading 1,258 1,258 - 1,258 1,258 Positive market values of derivatives (hedge accounting) 96 96 - 96 96 Trade receivables 162,435 1,386 161,049 1,386 1,386 Liquid funds 38,935 - 38,935 - Total 208,169 3,422 204,747 Liabilities in TEUR Carrying amount Accounting at fair value amortized cost Fair value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Non-current borrowings 133,844 - 133,844 - Loans received 81,974 - 81,974 81,016 81,016 Lease liability 51,870 - 51,870 - Other non-current liabilities 394 394 - - 394 Current borrowings 25,019 - 25,019 - Loans received 1,537 - 1,537 - Working capital credits 11,388 - 11,388 - Lease liability 12,094 - 12,094 - Trade payables 93,300 - 93,300 - Other current liabilities 6,057 6,043 14 6,043 Negative market values of derivatives held for trading 2,533 2,533 - 2,533 2,533 Negative market values of derivatives (hedge accounting) 3,510 3,510 - 3,510 3,510 Other 14 - 14 - Total 258,614 6,437 252,177 Selected Notes to the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement Cash flow is determined on a monthly basis in accordance with the indirect method.The resulting monthly cash flows are translated at the applicable average monthly exchange rate and then aggregated, while the balance sheet positions are translated at the exchange rate in effect on the respective closing date.This procedure leads to currency translation differences, above all in individual positions under cash flow from operating activities, and therefore to material differences compared with the respective balance sheet positions.
