Comment from Fred van Beers, CEO of Sif Group:
“It is encouraging to see that progress has been made in stabilizing our production lines in line with the
announcement of our Q2 results. The solid progress we are making is also cautiously reflected in our Q3 results:
production, contribution and EBITDA all slightly improved on the previous quarters. The modifications to the
production lines are performing as we expected and our focus is now on the continuation of the upward trend
that will gradually bring us to the projected levels of production. We therefore maintain de guidance provided at
the release of our Q2 numbers.
Our orderbook is filled with firm contracts for 2026 and we expect more clarity on the exclusive negotiations for
the 200 Kton orderbook position for 2027 in Q1 2026. The market remains challenging with a limited number of
new tenders, and the United Kingdom and European countries struggling to run successful large-scale tenders.
The upcoming CfD7 round in the UK is expected to see only 5-6 GW out of the potential 21 GW projects awarded,
given the lower-than-expected subsidy allocation of £900 million. In a joint effort, European countries and the
European Union are looking for ways to speed up grid connection and to facilitate the demand for and offtake of
green energy. The European Parliament is pursuing countermeasures for a level playing field for offshore wind
supply chain partners and for a tender approach that is more balanced than the recent tenders. All to maintain
momentum for the energy transition, energy independence and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
Decision making speed and effective roll out of EU measures in EU member states is of the essence to regain
momentum in the offshore wind market.
Our intensified efforts to reduce the number of safety incidents and sick leave have paid off. In H1 2025 we
experienced 7 LTI’s, and the YTD total now stands at 8 following one LTI incident in September. We will continue
to keep focus on these important people related KPI’s to assure a sustainable safe and healthy working
environment in line with our targets”.

Q3 2025 and YTD Results
Contribution
Contribution is a better indicator for performance than revenues since it eliminates changes in steel prices and
ignores legal structures for cooperation. For the first nine months of 2025 contribution added up to €128 million
of which €1 million relates to Marshalling and Logistics services and €8 million relates to other activities, including
Engineering services (€111 million of which €1 million for Marshalling and €7 million for other activities, including
Engineering services in first nine months 2024).
Contribution, adjusted for contribution from Marshalling, Engineering services and fees for projects without
production volume, of €13.4 million per month and €969 per ton improved on the contribution per month and per
ton in the same period of 2024 when it stood at €10.1 million and €712 per ton respectively.
Earnings
Adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2025 amounted to €13.8 million (€5.2 million in Q3 2024). Non-recurring expenses
relating to the expansion of our manufacturing facilities amounted to €3.7 million in the third quarter (€3.2
million in Q3 2024), resulting in a reported EBITDA of €10.1 million (€2.0 million in Q3 2024). Reported EBITDA
was positively impacted by the release of provisions for liquidated damages in projects.
Financial position
Net working capital was -/-€160. million ( -/-€180.8 million at the end of Q2 2025). Total cash position decreased
to €55 million at the end of Q3 2025 from €82.5 million at the end of Q2 2025. Banking covenants require solvency
of 35% and maximum net leverage of 3.00x. Solvency at the end of Q3 2025 with 35.0.% was compliant but the
negative LTM EBITDA (adjusted to exclude exceptional items (ex IFRS 16)) results in net leverage which cannot be
determined. We have therefore agreed a waiver with the banking consortium for the leverage covenant Q3 2025.
Furthermore, in light of the ongoing ramp-up of our production, we have agreed to an amendment of the leverage
and solvency covenants for the period Q4 2025 and Q1 2026. In addition, a minimum EBITDA covenant has been
introduced for these two quarters, as reflected below:

Non-financial performance; ESG
Starting the financial year 2024, Sif has started reporting in line with CSRD. In the first three quarters Sif has
participated in projects resulting in 934 MW renewable energy capacity. With the increase in manufacturing
capacity and Sif’s ability to service larger capacity wind farms, Sif expects its participation to show an increasing
trend going forward.
Trading Update
7 November 2025
Roermond, the Netherlands
Sif’s safety statistics have improved in Q3 2025 in a challenging environment of enlarging products. The new
production facilities will better balance product-size and manufacturing-lay out and techniques.
Outlook
The order book at the end of September amounts to 586 Kton. Tendering has seen a slowdown in activity during
the quarter, and the market remains hesitant with offshore wind park project awards being postponed or even
cancelled. We maintain the guidance provided at the release of our Q2 numbers.

Roermond, the Netherlands
Definition and Explanation of use of non-IFRS financial measures
Contribution (per ton or
month)
Total revenue from contracts with customers minus raw materials, subcontracted
work and other external charges and logistic and other project-related expenses.
Contribution is an important KPI since it excludes pass-through expenses. Together
with production in Kton and EBITDA it indicates the quality of Sif’s performance in
any reporting period.
For the per ton or month measures contribution is adjusted for contribution
related to Marshalling and Logistics services, Engineering and fees for projects with
no production volume.
EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA
Earnings before net finance costs, tax, depreciation and amortization.
The company discloses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental non-IFRS
financial measures, as the company believes these are meaningful measures to
evaluate the performance of the company’s business activities over time.
The company understands that these measures are used by analysts, rating
agencies and investors in assessing the company’s performance. The company also
believes that the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful
information to investors on the development of the company’s business. The
company also uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as key financial measures to
assess operational performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is adjusted for expenses that relate to the research into,
preparations for and the execution of the required adjustment and expansion of
our production facilities and business acquisitions.
Net working capital
Inventories plus current contract assets plus trade receivables plus current
prepayments minus trade payables and current contract liabilities.
The company discloses net working capital as a supplemental non-IFRS financial
measure, as the company believes it is a meaningful measure to evaluate the
company’s ability to maintain a solid balance between growth, profitability and
liquidity. Net working capital is broadly analysed and reviewed by analysts and
investors in assessing the company’s performance. This measure serves as a metric
for how efficiently a company is operating and how financially stable it is in the
short term. It is an important measure of a company’s ability to pay off short-term
expenses or debts.
Solvency
This measure is a bank covenant and is presented to express the financial strength
of the Company.
Definition
Consolidated Tangible Net Worth (ex IFRS 16) divided by Consolidated Balance
Sheet Total (ex IFRS 16)
Trading Update
7 November 2025
Roermond, the Netherlands
Consolidated Tangible Net Worth = Equity attributable to shareholder minus
dividend declared, Intangible assets, Upward revaluation of assets (other than
financial instruments) after the 2023 Effective Date (5 June 2023) and Advanced
factory payments converted into perpetual bond instruments
Consolidated Balance Sheet Total = Total assets minus Intangible assets, book value
of the assets leased under the Rabo lease facility and the cash on the balance sheet
related to advance factory payments converted into perpetual bond instruments
Net leverage
This measure is a bank covenant and is presented to express the financial strength
of the Company.
Definition
Total net debt (ex IFRS 16) divided by EBITDA ex exceptional items (ex IFRS 16) LTM
(last twelve months), being quarter four of 2024 and quarter one until three of
2025
Total net debt (ex IFRS 16) = Borrowings (ex IFRS 16) minus Cash and Cash
Equivalents
Borrowings (ex IFRS 16) = Revolving credit facility plus term loans
EBITDA ex exceptional items (ex IFRS 16) = EBITDA (ex IFRS 16) minus:
-
charge to profit represented by the expensing of stock options
-
the restructuring of the activities of an entity and reversals of any
provisions for the cost of restructuring
-
disposals, revaluations, write downs or impairment of non-current assets
or any reversal of any write down or impairment
-
any exceptional, one off, non-recurring or extraordinary items which
represent gains or losses relating to the P11 manufacturing expansion
(with a maximum of €10 million on an LTM basis)
EBITDA (ex IFRS 16) = EBITDA adjusted for expenses of lease contracts other than
'short-term leases’ and ‘low-value leases’ (including those expenses accounted for
as project costs based on progress), the impact of the difference in accounting
treatment of lease incentives between IFRS 16 and the former lease standard IAS
17 and expenses related to initial direct costs of operational lease contracts.
