Due to the persistently difficult market conditions and the very subdued will- ingness to invest, however, their positive effects have so far only been felt to a limited extent. In the first nine months of 2025, the SMT Scharf Group generated revenue of EUR 70.9 million and an operating result (EBIT) of EUR 2.4 million. Posting these figures, we were able to sig- nificantly lift sales and EBIT compared to the same period of the previous year, primarily due to the full consolidation of the joint venture company Shandong Xinsha Monorail Co. Ltd. The strong growth in the tunnel logistics segment proved another driver, where turnover more than doubled compared to the prior year due to the large-scale project in the Middle East. Demand for mining equipment also remained very subdued in the third quarter. Sagging prices and overcapacities on the global commodity markets are putting many producers under pres- sure, while trade tensions and sanctions are further burdening and complicating the framework conditions. In addition, economic dynamics in China, our most important sales market, have slowed. These factors are having a negative impact on SMT Scharf's business. We are convinced that our strategy of focusing on operational excellence, organic growth and the targeted examination of external growth options is the right way to remain successful – also in a challenging market environment. Coal mining will remain an important business area for SMT Scharf over the coming years. In this area too, we are perceiving that customer needs are changing noticeably as a result of technological developments and sustainability require- ments. We are focusing our product development activities on these shifts and trends in order to further strengthen our positioning. One particular focus is on the development of emission-free, sustainable transportation equip- ment for the traditional mining market. In this context, we have developed a battery-powered overhead monorail system for underground mines in firedamp-prone environments for Poland and other markets, with the aim of also achieving approval for the European market in the short term after China. This reflects our aspiration to systematically transform technological innovations into marketable products in a targeted manner, thereby setting new standards in the mining sector. Based on the development in the first nine months of 2025, we are confirming the forecast issued at the end of August for the full year of 2025. Consolidated revenue is expected to be between EUR 100 and 120 million, with EBIT between EUR 0.5 and 2.5 million. The key focus remains on expanding the market position, increasing efficiency and consistently optimizing costs in order to be in the best possible position for a recovery in 2026. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our employees for their tremendous commit- ment. We would also like to thank all investors, business partners and customers for the trust they have placed in us. Let us join forces and drive SMT Scharf's development forward to- gether. With best regards Longjiao Wang Volker Weiss Reinhard Reinartz SMT Scharf AG - 9-month report as of September 30, 2025 - Page 7 Management report (unaudited) Business performance In the first nine months of the 2025 fiscal year, the SMT Scharf Group generated consolidated revenue of EUR 70.9 million. This corresponds to a significant year-on-year increase of 48.0 % (9M/2024: EUR 47.9 million). The increase in revenue was largely attributable to the full consolidation of the joint venture company Shandong Xinsha Monorail Co., Ltd ("Xinsha"). The successful progress of order processing in the Tunnel Logistics segment also contributed to the positive revenue trend. In the third quarter of 2025, however, it was fundamentally evident that demand in the coal mining markets that are particularly relevant for SMT Scharf is bur- dened by the high level of uncertainty in view of the smouldering trade conflicts and numerous geopolitical trouble spots. This hampers and burdens the SMT Scharf Group's business activ- ities in its international core markets accordingly. In the first nine months of the current financial year the result from operating activities (EBIT) amounted to EUR 2.4 million (9M/2024: EUR -1.3 million). The increase in earnings compared to the same quarter of the previous year is mainly due to the increase in sales revenue, driven among other things by the significant revenue growth in the Tunnel Logistics segment, and the full consolidation of Xinsha. Revenue by type of business In the new systems business, SMT Scharf lifted its revenue to EUR 32.2 million in the first nine months of 2025, compared with EUR 21.1 million in the prior-year period. Sales in the service business also advanced significantly to EUR 9.1 million (9M/2024: EUR 5.7 million), while sales of spare parts trended upwards year-on-year to EUR 29.5 million (9M/2024: EUR 21.0 million). SMT Scharf AG - 9-month report as of September 30, 2025 - Page 8 Revenue share by product In terms of products, at EUR 62.6 million (9M/2024: EUR 41.2 million), the main share of Group revenue in the first nine months of 2025 was generated by the rail systems product category. The sales increase in this product category amounted to 51.9%. Sales in the chairlift category were also up significantly from EUR 4.1 million in the same period of the previous year to EUR 5.5 million. In addition, the rubber-tyred vehicles category contributed EUR 1.3 million (9M/2024: EUR 1.2 million) and Other Products EUR 1.5 million (9M/2024: EUR 1.4 million) to sales. Revenue share by region With a view to the international core markets, SMT Scharf significantly lifted its revenue in the China sales market to EUR 34.1 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared with the same period of the previous year due to the full consolidation of Xinsha (9M/2024: EUR 14.0 million). Consequently, China remains the most important sales market, accounting for 48.1% of total sales. In Poland, SMT Scharf recorded year-on-year revenue growth to EUR 9.9 million (9M/2024: EUR 8.9 million). Against the backdrop of ongoing sanctions, revenue in Russia fell significantly by 44.9% from EUR 8.9 million in the same period of the previous year to EUR 4.9 million. In addition, revenue in the Africa region fell to EUR 5.7 million in the first nine months of 2025 (9M/2024: EUR 5.9 million) and in the Americas region to EUR 0.8 million (9M/2024: EUR 1.1 million). In Germany, however, SMT Scharf generated significantly higher SMT Scharf AG - 9-month report as of September 30, 2025 - Page 9 revenue of EUR 3.5 million, compared with EUR 2.2 million in the prior-year period. In the other markets bracket, SMT Scharf recorded a significant increase in revenue to EUR 12.0 million (9M/2024: EUR 6.9 million). Revenue share by segment Broken down by segment, SMT Scharf boosted revenue in the Coal Mining segment to EUR 51.3 million in the first nine months of 2025 (9M/2024: EUR 34.9 million), which consequently continued to account for the largest share of total sales with 72.4 % (9M/2024: 72.7 %). In the Mineral Mining segment, revenues amounted to EUR 6.5 million (9M/2024: EUR 7.0 million), corresponding to a 9.2% share of total revenue (9M/2024: 14.6 %). In addition, SMT Scharf significantly boosted its revenue in the Tunnel Logistics segment to EUR 11.6 million in the first nine months of the current year (9M/2024: EUR 4.4 million). This corresponds to a 16.4 % share of total revenue (9M/2024: 9.2 %). In addition, the "Other Industries" segment recorded sales of EUR 1.5 million (9M/2024: EUR 1.7 million) and accounted for 2.1 % of consolidated sales (9M/2024: 3.5 %). Incoming orders in the first nine months of 2025 amounted to EUR 61.7 million and were there- fore below the previous year's figure (9M/2024: EUR 73.6 million) due to a very subdued will- ingness to invest in the mining equipment market, which had reached an extraordinarily high level in the same period of the previous year attributable to the orders received in the Tunnel Logistics segment. The order backlog amounted to EUR 21.7 million as of 30 September 2025, a decrease of EUR 26.6 million compared to the previous year's reporting date (30 September 2024: EUR 48.3 million). As of 30 September 2025, the number of full-time employees (FTE) stood at 541 members of staff (30/09/2024: 397 FTEs). The sharp increase in the number of employees compared to the same period last year is due to the consolidation of Xinsha. SMT Scharf AG - 9-month report as of September 30, 2025 - Page 10 Economic and business report Consolidated revenue • Consolidated revenue was up by 6.7 % year-on-year to EUR 20.8 million in the third quarter of 2025, with the SMT Scharf Group generating revenue of EUR 70.9 million in the nine- month period. This was 48.0% higher than the previous year's figure. • Rolling consolidated revenue for the last twelve months up to the reporting date of 30 Sep- tember 2025 (LTM) amounted to EUR 118.0 million. • In both the new systems business and the spare parts and service business, the full con- solidation of Xinsha in particular resulted in significant sales growth, although investment reticence in the core markets had a negative impact on business development. Operating result (EBIT) • As in the previous year, EBIT amounted to EUR -0.5 million in the third quarter of 2025 and EUR 2.4 million after nine months (9M/2024: EUR -1.3 million). In addition to the full SMT Scharf AG - 9-month report as of September 30, 2025 - Page 11 consolidation of Xinsha, the significant growth in turnover in the Tunnel Logistics segment contributed significantly to the gains in earnings in the nine-month period. • The EBIT margin (in relation to operating performance) was recorded at -2.8% in the third quarter of 2025 (Q3/2024: -2.6 %), while reaching 3.2 % after nine months of 2025 (9M/2024: -2.2 %). • The rolling EBIT for the last twelve months up to the reporting date of 30 September 2025 (LTM) amounted to EUR 8.5 million. New order intake • In view of investment reticence prevailing in the market for mining equipment, at EUR 21.8 million, incoming orders in the third quarter of 2025 were at a similarly subdued level as in the previous year (Q3/2024: EUR 19.8 million). In the nine-month period, incoming orders decreased by 16.2% year-on-year to EUR 61.7 million (9M/2024: EUR 73.6 million). • The order backlog as of 30 September 2025 amounted to EUR 21.7 million (30 September 2024: EUR 48.3 million). SMT Scharf AG - 9-month report as of September 30, 2025 - Page 12 Net working capital • Net working capital is defined as the sum of inventories, trade receivables and other assets less current provisions, trade payables, current liabilities to banks and other liabilities and advance payments as of the respective balance sheet date. • An average net working capital of EUR 101.4 million for the last twelve months up to the reporting date on 30 September 2025 (LTM, calculated from quarterly figures) in relation to the rolling Group revenue of EUR 118.0 million for the last twelve months up to the reporting date (LTM) results in a net working capital intensity of 85.9%. Supplementary report No significant events with an impact on the SMT Scharf Group's further business performance occurred after the 30 September 2025 balance sheet date. Outlook According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the global economy is robust despite the pronounced economic policy uncertainty. With a look to 2025, the IMF forecasts stable global economic growth of 3.0% compared to the previous year (3.3%). In particular, the shock caused by the US tariff policy has so far been less severe than feared due to the announced pauses and agreements. Looking ahead to 2026, the IMF expects the current bringing forward of trade and investment to slow down and dampen economic activity somewhat. However, other factors - including lower US tariffs than originally announced, better financing conditions and fiscal stimulus in key economies – would offset this, meaning that a slight increase in growth to 3.1% is forecast for the global economy. Developments on the global commodities markets also continue to be shaped by geopolitical conflicts and trade policy uncertainties, resulting in persistently volatile demand. With regard to 2025, the International Energy Agency (IEA) expects a slight overall increase in global coal SMT Scharf AG - 9-month report as of September 30, 2025 - Page 13 demand despite regionally diverging demand, following a slight decline in the first half of the year. At the same time, overcapacity and high stock levels are weighing on price trends, with international thermal coal prices falling to their lowest level since 2021 in the first half of 2025, subjecting the earnings situation of many producers to considerable pressure. The International Monetary Fund anticipates the following GDP growth rates in SMT Scharf's target markets: GDP growth in the most important sales markets for SMT Scharf AG* (in %) 2025e 2024 World 3.0 3.3 China 4.8 5.0 Poland 3.2 2.9 Russia 0.9 4.3 South Africa 1.0 0.5 *Source: IMF World Economic Outlook, July 2025 Despite continued high volatility in the market environment, SMT Scharf is convinced that the company is fundamentally well positioned in the niche to implement customised transport and logistics solutions for its customers worldwide. SMT Scharf is continuing to focus on its core markets of China, Poland, South Africa and America. Viewed in the long term perspective, the company believes that trends such as stricter regulation, for example with regard to emissions standards, and the strong demand for innovative mining technology in modern mines will con- tinue to ensure attractive growth prospects in these vital core markets. The IMF is forecasting a slight slowdown in growth of 4.7% for China in 2025. The ongoing real estate crisis, subdued domestic consumption and the high level of foreign trade uncer- tainty vis-à-vis the USA comprise the main negative factors. On the other hand, moderate inflation and support from economic policy measures and robust exports to markets outside the USA are incurring positive effects. In contrast, economic growth is expected to pick up in the key sales markets of Poland and South Africa in the current year. In the Russian market, which is also relevant for SMT Scharf, the Western states have extended their measures with the 19th sanctions package that was recently tightened further. This is likely to have an addi- tional negative impact on economic activity, as energy exports will be restricted, financial flows made more difficult and international supply chains further disrupted. As a result, the SMT Scharf Group is confronted with further tightened sanctions, the final impact of which on the SMT Scharf Group's business is not yet foreseeable. The Managing Board of SMT Scharf AG confirms the revenue and earnings forecast for 2025 last announced on 22 August 2025. Accordingly, consolidated revenue for the full year 2025 is expected to be in the range of EUR 100 to 120 million and EBIT in the range of EUR 0.5 to 2.5 million. The Managing Board had previously forecast consolidated revenue in a range be- tween EUR 110 million and EUR 130 million and EBIT in a range between EUR 5.5 million and EUR 7.5 million. In order to diversify further and to further reduce its dependency on coal mine operators, SMT Scharf will work towards further expanding its activities in business segments outside coal. As part of its corporate strategy, the company will continue to focus in the future on operative excellence, as well as on implementing the growth strategy, in order to further strengthen SMT Scharf’s market position.

As from the 2028 assessment period, the current tax rate of 15% will be reduced by one percentage point per year until it is only 10% from 2032 (Section 23 (1) KStG new version). We have adjusted the calculation of deferred taxes as of 30 September 2025 for the German companies accordingly. We have made an estimate of how the existing temporary differences and loss carryforwards will be distributed over the coming financial years. The conversion resulted in deferred tax expenses of EUR 161 thousand.
