During Q3 stand alone, the order intake amounted to 168.5 MEUR, 76.3% higher than Q3 2025. JENSEN-GROUP's YTD Q3 revenue increased by 13.7%, amounting to 452.5 MEUR. The operating profit (EBIT) YTD Q3 2026 amounts to 55.1 MEUR, 12.2% on total revenue, compared to 55.3 MEUR or 13.9% on total revenue in 2025. The recent US acquisition made a lower contribution to the EBIT as it is still in the process of being integrated into our existing US operations. The results of associates and companies accounted for using the equity method contributed 2.4 MEUR, compared to 4.3 MEUR during the three quarters in 2025. The consolidated result attributable to equity holders amounts to 39.9 MEUR and leads to an Earnings per Share of 4.33 euro. Operational performance remains strong, however EPS is affected by adverse currency result, higher interest charges, purchase price allocation effects related to recent acquisitions, and a lower contribution from INAX following an exceptionally strong prior-year result. Combined, these factors reduce EPS by about 1 euro per share. Following our strategy to strengthen our production capabilities, we are investing further in the expansion of our capacity in the United States. We continue investing in our infrastructure in Artificial Intelligence and robotics to further grow automation business. Additionally, we are committed to expanding our recurring revenue streams through growth in our Maxi-Press business.

2 Outlook After very strong revenue in the first nine months, the Group remains on track to deliver a record revenue year with an expected EBIT range between 72 and 76 MEUR. Nonetheless, the increasing market uncertainty requires a cautious stance. The Group’s aim is to hold firm to its strategic course, and to remain relentlessly focused on executing its strategy. Risk factors continue to revolve around the unpredictability of the global geopolitical and economic dynamics, and in particular, the potential impact of the conflict in the Middle East and the potentially negative financial effect of trade tariffs, as well as the possible adverse impact on customer demand and investment behaviour. Other risk factors to be considered are exchange rate volatility, changes in energy and transportation costs, and competitive pressure in general. Share buy-back program The Bylaws of the Company allow the purchase of own shares.
