Strengthening cost-to-serve
and scalability
Driving efficiency through technology
The 48,000 m² facility in Kumla consolidates Solar
Sverige’s distribution network into a centralised and
standardised operating model, improving consistency,
control and execution across logistics operations.
Automation is at the core of the new facility, with robotics
and autonomous solutions supporting picking, packing
and internal transport processes. The goods-to-person
setup reduces manual handling, increases productivity
and accuracy, and creates a more stable and efficient
operating environment. Following the commissioning
phase, operations are progressing according to plan, with
further efficiency gains expected as volumes increase
and the automation benefits are fully realised.
The centralised setup also improves inventory visibility
and control, enabling more efficient stock management,
shorter lead times and higher inventory turnover, while
maintaining high service levels.
Improving customer value proposition and readiness
for future growth
The logistics centre in Kumla marks an important
milestone in supporting Solar's long-term growth
ambitions in Sweden. The facility provides a scalable
platform that strengthens operational excellence and
enables Solar to serve customers more efficiently and
consistently across the Swedish market.
Solar’s new logistics centre in Kumla, Sweden, is fully
operational and was completed ahead of schedule.
Enhanced logistics capabilities, combined with Solar's
digital solutions and service offerings, improve delivery
performance and overall customer experience. This is
positioning Solar Sverige to meet evolving customer
needs and capture new market opportunities in the years
ahead.
Sustainable operations
The facility holds a BREEAM Excellent certification and
incorporates a range of energy-efficient solutions,
including solar panels and a Thermonova geothermal
energy system. These investments reduce energy
consumption, lower operating costs and support Solar’s
sustainability ambitions.
Logistics transformation completed, CapEx reduced
With the commissioning of the Kumla facility, Solar has
completed the multi-year transformation of its logistics
network, upgrading all major warehouses across the
Group through automation, standardisation and
modernised operating processes.
This concludes a significant investment programme and
establishes a scalable logistics network capable of
supporting growth while improving productivity and cost
efficiency. Following completion of the programme,
CapEx is expected to normalise towards historical levels.

Business update
H1 EBITDA amounted to DKK 143m impacted
by non-recurring items of DKK 69m
Q2 2026
Revenue
Revenue increased to DKK 3.4bn (DKK 3.0bn) positively
impacted by the acquisition of Sonepar Norge in 2025 and
was in line with our expectations.
We delivered positive adjusted organic growth across all
main markets and all main segments, demonstrating
underlying growth excluding acquisition effects.
Adjusted organic growth amounted to 6.1% (-1.2%).
Excluding the impact of Solar Polaris, organic growth was
6.5%.
In Q2, adjusted organic growth amounted to 6.9% (-2.1%)
for Installation, 3.9% (-5.7%) for Industry and 8.3% (24%)
for Trade.
Gross profit
Gross profit margin at group level decreased to 19.1%
(20.3%) in Q2 2026 primarily due to continued pressure on
sales prices. This decline occurred despite additional
cyclical inventory gains of approx. DKK 20m.
The decrease was observed across all markets and was
further impacted by a 0.4 percentage point increase in
freight costs, driven by higher fuel prices.
In Q2, all main markets
returned to positive adjusted
organic growth. In addition,
the integration of Sonepar
Norge was successfully
completed during the quarter.
External operating costs and staff costs
The integration of Sonepar Norge was completed in all
material respects and additional costs of DKK 21m were
recognised as integration costs in Q2 2026.
As expected, restructuring costs amounted to DKK 17m
(DKK 5m) including transition costs incurred in connection
with the relocation from our warehouse in Örebro to our
new logistics centre in Kumla, Sweden.
Adjusted for these non-recurring costs, external operating
costs and staff costs amounted to 15.6% (16.4%) of
revenue.
EBITDA
EBITDA amounted to DKK 84m (DKK 112m) and was in line
with our expectations. Excluding non-recurring items,
EBITDA increased to DKK 122m (DKK 117m) corresponding
to an EBITDA margin of 3.5% (3.9%).

Financial performance
H1 2026
Revenue
Revenue increased to DKK 6.7bn (DKK 6.2bn) positively
impacted by the acquisition of Sonepar Norge. Despite the
improvement in Q2, revenue was at the lower end of our
expected range reflecting the impact of the severe winter
conditions in Q1.
Adjusted organic growth at group level amounted to 0.8%
(2.6%). After adjusting for Solar Polaris’ lower revenue from
deliveries to major solar project parks in H1 2026
compared with H1 2025, organic growth was 2.0%.
In H1 2026, we delivered growth in Solar Sverige, Solar
Nederland and Solar Polska while Solar Danmark and Solar
Norge had the most significant adverse impact on
performance stemming from the severe winter weather
conditions in Q1. However, both Solar Danmark and Solar
Norge returned to positive growth in Q2.
Gross profit
Our guidance for 2026 reflects a slight continued decline in
gross profit margin, primarily driven by persistent pressure
on sales prices.
Gross profit margin at group level declined to 19.3%
(20.3%) in H1 2026.
The decline was observed across all markets and
was further negatively impacted by 0.4 percentage point
due to increased freight costs driven by higher fuel prices.
External operating costs and staff costs
In all material respects, the integration of Sonepar Norge
was finalised and integration costs of DKK 37m were
included in H1 2026.
We continuously pursue initiatives to optimise our
operating model, and to mitigate the impact of cost
inflation and market development. As expected,
restructuring costs amounted to DKK 32m (DKK 57m)
including transition costs in relation to the relocation of our
warehouses in Sweden.
Adjusted for these non-recurring costs, external operating
costs and staff costs amounted to 16.1% (16.4%) of revenue.
EBITDA
Despite the improvement in Q2, EBITDA of DKK 143m
(DKK 186m) was at the lower end of our expected range,
reflecting the impact of the severe winter conditions in Q1.
When adjusted for non-recurring items, the underlying
EBITDA margin amounted to 3.1% (3.9%).
However, we continually pursue new growth and earnings
initiatives to improve business development.
The results of the individual markets are shown on

Depreciation
Depreciation amounted to DKK 142m (DKK 131m)
impacted by the acquisition of Sonepar Norge and the
commissioning of the new logistics centre in Kumla,
Sweden.
Financial income and expenses
Net financial income amounted to DKK -47m (DKK -43m),
primarily due to higher financing expenses related to the
acquisition of Sonepar Norge.
Earnings before tax
Earnings before tax amounted to DKK -89m (DKK -30m)
and were negatively impacted, as expected, by integration
costs, increased depreciation and higher financial
expenses.
Net profit
Net profit amounted to DKK -74m (DKK -29m).
Cash flows
Net working capital as an average of the previous four
quarters was almost unchanged at 15.0% (15.1%) of
revenue. Net working capital at the end of H1 2026
amounted to 17.6% (15.1%).
Cash flow from operating activities totalled DKK -440m
(DKK -84m).
During Q2, several suppliers implemented price increases,
initially for oil-based products but subsequently across
other product categories. In response, we accelerated the
sourcing of affected products, resulting in a temporary
increase in inventory levels of approx. DKK 250m at the end
of the quarter. Consequently, cash flow from inventory
changes amounted to DKK -201m (DKK 136m) in H1. The
temporary inventory build-up is expected to normalise
during H2.
Changes in receivables impacted cash flow by DKK -550m
(DKK -151m) due to a combination of normal seasonality
and the return to revenue growth while changes in non-
interest-bearing liabilities had a cash flow impact of
DKK 232m (DKK -204m).
Total cash flow from investing activities amounted to
DKK -190m (DKK -196m). The purchase of intangible
assets of DKK -74m (DKK -57m) primarily relates to
ongoing investments in the optimisation of our digital
platforms. The purchase of property, plant and equipment
amounted to DKK -117m (DKK -213m) of which DKK -88m
(DKK -195m) relates to the construction of our new
logistics centre in Kumla, Sweden. In H1 2025, disposal of
property, plant and equipment primarily related to the
release of the proceeds from the sale of our warehouse in
Duiven in Q4 2024.
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to DKK 573m
(DKK 25m). This was primarily affected by changes in
current interest-bearing liabilities of DKK 667m (DKK
317m) and repayment of non-current interest-bearing debt
of DKK -6m (DKK -105m). Dividend distribution amounted
to DKK 110m in H1 2025, while no dividend distribution
was approved by the Annual General Meeting in H1 2026.
As a result, total cash flow amounted to DKK -57m
(DKK -255m).
Net interest-bearing liabilities amounted to DKK 2,317m
(DKK 1,670m) primarily due to the DKK 309m acquisition
of Sonepar Norge in Q4 2025. By the end of H1 2026,
gearing was 5.1 (2.8) times EBITDA, which as expected is
above our gearing target of 1.0-3.0 times EBITDA due to the
acquisition of Sonepar Norge. The gearing is well in line
with our covenants.
By the end of H1 2026, Solar had undrawn credit facilities
of DKK 512m (DKK 718m).
Invested capital
Solar Group’s invested capital totalled DKK 4,242m
(DKK 3,410m) impacted by the acquisition of Sonepar
Norge. ROIC calculated over the past 12 months amounted
to 1.2% (6.7%).

Management’s
review
Solar A/S Q2 2026
Financial performance
Key risks and mitigation
The commercial and financial risks remain broadly
consistent with those described in Solar’s Annual Report
2025.
Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to create
uncertainty in global energy, freight and supply chain
markets. While Solar has no direct exposure to the affected
markets, developments may impact transport costs,
supplier pricing and customer demand. Solar continues to
monitor potential macroeconomic and operational effects
closely.
As an indirect effect of the geopolitical situation, several
suppliers have implemented price increases, particularly
for oil-based products. For Solar, this supports cyclical
inventory gains in the short term but could also have a
negative impact on demand. Increased freight costs are
partly offset through invoiced surcharges.
Solar maintains close dialogue with suppliers and logistics
partners to support supply chain resilience and operational
continuity. Developments will continue to be monitored,
and mitigation measures will be adjusted as necessary.

Solar A/S Q2 2026
Segment performance H1
We reconfirm our guidance,
supported by a recovery in Q2 2026
Assumptions
As stated on page 8, geopolitical and macroeconomic
uncertainty increased at the start of 2026. Our guidance
reflects this uncertainty to the extent that it can be quantified.
Revenue
Under the most likely scenario, we expect all our markets to
post stagnant growth in 2026.
Installation
Overall, we expect to see modest positive growth across
the new construction sector in 2026. The green transition is
set to deliver marginally improved growth rates compared
to 2025. Our portfolio of project deliveries continues to
expand slightly, although margins remain below those of
our day-to-day sales.
Industry
Our guidance assumes negative growth for Marine/
Offshore and Utility, whereas we expect stagnant
development in all other sub-segments. MAG45, however,
is the exception, with solid growth rates expected. Despite
the positive effect from MAG45, we expect the industry
market to show a slight negative trend.
Trade
We expect to see positive growth in 2026 driven by Solar
Polaris' deliveries to a major solar park, with expected
revenue totalling DKK 275m.
Gross profit margin
In recent years, gross margins have declined across all
main product categories. Although we initially expected the
downward trend to taper off in 2025, it has persisted.
Our 2026 guidance reflects
revenue in the range of DKK
12.9bn and 13.4bn, supported
by revenue of DKK 700m from
acquired businesses and
DKK 275m from a new major
solar park project.
Our outlook for 2026 reflects a continued slight decline in
gross profit margin, primarily driven by ongoing pressure
on sales prices, and a less favourable segment mix, partly
driven by Solar Polaris’ deliveries to a major new solar park
project. In Q2, several suppliers announced significant
price increases, initially for oil-based products, but
subsequently for other products. For Solar, this may lead to
cyclical inventory gains of up to DKK 40m (previously
DKK 20m) above our initial expectations. Approximately
DKK 20m was realised in Q2, and the remaining amount is
expected to be realised primarily in Q3.
Although fuel prices declined somewhat during the
summer, they are still expected to contribute to a negative
impact on the gross profit margin, as fuel costs can only be
partially offset through invoiced surcharges.
External operating costs and staff costs
We expect the negative impact of salary inflation to
continue, partly due to carry-over effects and partly due to
collective labour agreements.
In all material respects, the integration of Sonepar Norge
has been finalised.
Our guidance includes DKK 75m in restructuring and
integration costs, of which DKK 69m has been realised. The
remaining amount of DKK 6m is expected to be incurred in
Q3. The restructuring costs include approximately DKK
20m for the transition from our warehouse in Örebro to our
new logistics centre in Kumla, Sweden and DKK 40m for
the integration of Sonepar Norge.

will continue to reduce costs.
Financial outlook 2026
Revenue guidance
We reconfirm our revenue guidance within the range of
DKK 12.9bn and 13.4bn. This corresponds to organic
growth of between approx. -1.5% and +3.5%, supported by
Solar Polaris’ deliveries to a major solar park, with total
expected revenue of DKK 275m.
EBITDA guidance
We continue to expect EBITDA to be within the range of
DKK 400-480m, including DKK 75m in restructuring and
integration costs, supported by cyclical inventory gains of
up to DKK 40m above our initial expectations with part of
the benefit expected to be offset by competitive market
dynamics.
Following the acquisition of Sonepar Norge last year, 2026
will be a transition year for Solar in Norway. This, in
combination with the expected restructuring costs, dilutes
the EBITDA margin for Solar Group by approx. 0.6
percentage points. From 2027 and onwards we expect the
margin to be strengthened by the acquisition.

1.1 Accounting policies
The financial report for Solar A/S has been
prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Presentation
of interim reports” as approved by the EU and
additional Danish disclosure requirements for
quarterly reports of listed companies.
The accounting policies remain unchanged from
the Annual Report 2025, which contains a full
description of these on pages 110-112 as well as
of relevant, supplementary notes.
In the financial report, income tax has been
calculated on the basis of pre-tax profits at the
expected average tax rate.
New accounting standards implemented during
the period
No additional standards have become effective in
the period, only amendments and improvements
to existing standards. These changes have no
impact on Solar’s accounting policies.
New accounting standards to be implemented
in coming accounting periods
In Annual Report 2025, note 5.5, page 152, new
or amended standards to be implemented in the
coming accounting periods are described.
Integration of Sonepar Norge
As anticipated, the integration of Solar Norge and
Sonepar Norge was finalised in Q2 in all material
respects. Consequently, the revenue streams of
Solar Norge and Sonepar Norge can no longer
be separately identified and it is therefore not
possible to distinguish between the financial
performance of the organic and acquired parts of
the business.
