Overall statement – Progress on strategic transformation and growth initiatives In the first nine months of 2026, the Leifheit Group consistently drove forward its strategic transformation and growth initiatives. With the FOCUS performance program, launched in July 2026, the Board of Management is making the organisation leaner, more agile and more efficient, thereby laying the foundations for a sustainable improvement in competitiveness and profitability. The program includes, in particular, the introduction of a new oper ating model, the streamlining of the Group’s structures, the targeted digitalisation of key processes and the reduction of positions. The implementation of the program will result in oneoff personnel and other operating expenses totalling up to m€ 9.6, of which m€ 1.9 was recognised in the income statement in the first nine months of 2026. This will be offset by the first positive effects from financial year 2027 onwards and, from financial year 2028 onwards, by recurring annual cost savings expected to amount to at least m€ 8. In October 2026, further measures were also introduced to stream line management and decisionmaking structures. The Supervisory Board has resolved to reduce the size of the Board of Management from three members to two. In this context, Igor Iraeta Munduate (COO) and the Supervisory Board have mutually agreed to the early termination of his employment contract with effect from 31 De cember 2026. Consolidating responsibili ties at Board of Manage ment level streamlines decisionmaking processes, enhances organisa tional effectiveness and helps to reduce the cost base in the long term. Alongside its organisational transformation, Leifheit is consistently pursuing its strategic growth initiatives and making targeted investments in its brand, customer relationships and innovation, with a view to generating further growth momentum even in an exceptionally challenging market environment. In the third quarter of 2026, the focus remained on the implementation of the brand relaunch, including improved positioning at the Point of Sale and on further product innovations in the core categories of cleaning and laundry care. In this context, the Group has gradually enhanced its product visualisations for both digital channels and bricksand mortar retail, and rolled them out across additional product categories. The positive impact of these measures was evident, amongst other things, in sustained growth in the DIY stores sales channel and a significant increase in the D2C business within ecommerce. As a result, Leifheit was able to gain market share in its core business and strengthen its competitive position, despite a declining market environment. With regard to further product innovations, the new Pegasus RockSolid models were launched in September 2026. They extend the existing laundry dryer range to include a premium solution and are aimed in particular at qualityconscious households. In addition, the successful BLACK LINE range has been expanded to include three new floorcleaning products. The development of successful innovations such as SUPERDUSTER confirms the strategic focus on products that offer clear benefits to consumers and an attractive margin profile. Leifheit aims to stimulate further demand through targeted innovations and more vigorous marketing of highmargin bestsellers. Despite the strategic progress made, turnover development con tinued to be weighed down by persistent consumer restraint in the core markets. In particular, the low frequency of purchases and weak demand in the nonfood segment had a negative impact on sales performance. The GfK Consumer Climate Index suggests that consumer sentiment will remain subdued and the propensity to save heightened in November as well. Against this backdrop, the Board of Management of Leifheit AG has slightly revised its turnover forecast for the full year 2026 in October and now expects Group turnover to fall by a midsingledigit percentage compared with the previous year’s figure. A slight decline had previously been forecast. The Board of Management now expects Group EBIT to be between m€ –5 and m€ –6. Previously, EBIT of m€ 0 had been expected. The forecast result includes special expenses of around m€ 7 relating to the implementation of the FOCUS performance program and provisions in connection with the early termination of the contract of the COO. EBIT before special items is now expected to be around m€ 1 to m€ 2. Free cash flow for the full year 2026 is expected to be between m€ –1 and m€ –2. Previously, a figure of m€ 0 had been expected. From financial year 2027 onwards, the Board of Management of Leifheit AG expects to see the first positive effects on earnings from the performance program. QUARTERL Y STATEMENT FOR THE PERIOD ENDING 30 SEPTEMBER 2026 002 Leifheit Group Quarterly statement for the period ending 30 September 2026

Business performance In the first nine months of financial year 2026, the Leifheit Group generated turnover of m€ 169.1 (previous year: m€ 179.0). This corresponds to a decline of 5.5% compared with the same period of the previous year. Group turnover by region In Germany, the Leifheit Group recorded a 6.5% decline in turnover in the first nine months of financial year 2026 compared with the same period last year. Turnover amounted to m€ 65.1, compared with m€ 69.7 in the corresponding period of the previous year. The main reasons were the downturn in the markets in the core segments relevant to Leifheit and continued consumer reluctance to spend. In the other sales regions, too, turnover was below the previous year’s level. In Central Europe, the Leifheit Group’s turnover fell by 4.3% over the nine month period to a total of m€ 78.2 (previous year: m€ 81.6). Turnover in the Eastern Europe region decreased by 5.8% in the first nine months of 2026, from m€ 24.9 in the same period of the previous year to m€ 23.5. In markets outside Europe, turnover fell to m€ 2.3 in the first three quarters of 2026 (previous year: m€ 2.8). Group turnover by segment In the first nine months of 2026, the Household segment recorded a 6.7% fall in turnover to m€ 140.0 (previous year: m€ 150.1). Turnover from mechanical cleaning products and laundry care products fell in line with the downward trend in the market. By contrast, the dust product area, driven in particular by the SUPERDUSTER, recorded doubledigit growth in turnover. The Wellbeing segment, comprising the Soehnle brand, achieved turnover of m€ 8.2 in the first nine months of 2026 (previous year: m€ 8.8). This corresponds to a decline of 7.6% compared with the same period of the previous year. The Private Label segment performed well. Turnover rose by 4.2% to m€ 20.9 in the first nine months of 2026 (previous year: m€ 20.1). Both Herby, with its range of laundry care products, and Birambeau, with its kitchen goods, recorded a slight increase in turnover. Net assets, financial position and results of operations Special items As part of the FOCUS performance program, work began on imple menting a package of measures in the third quarter of 2026. The aim of the program is to make Leifheit simpler, faster and more customer focused. This includes, in particular, the introduction of a new operating model, the streamlining of the Group’s structures and the targeted digitalisation of key processes. The program also provides for the socially responsible reduction of up to 70 positions. To this end, expenses of m€ 1.9 were recognised in distribution costs and administrative costs as at 30 September 2026. In 2025, as part of the strategic development of the production network, injection moulding production was centralised at the production site in Blatná in the Czech Republic. To this end, expenses of m€ 1.5 were recognised in the cost of turnover as at 30 September 2025. The Leifheit Group’s gross margin and EBIT therefore include special items that have affected the consolidated income statement. Gross margin and EBIT before special items are adjusted key performance indicators, as special items are not defined in IFRS. The presentation of selected matters as special items serves to ensure transparency regarding the quality of the Leifheit Group’s results. In the segment reporting, special items are shown separately. Special items can generally result from the acquisition, disposal or termination of business divisions, M&A transactions, closures or relocations of locations or production facilities, changes in the management structure or significant changes in the company organisation, significant IT transformations and fundamental reorganisations with a significant impact on the scope and direction of business activities. 9M 2025 9M 2026 Gross margin before special items 44.5% 45.5% Special items from strategic optimisation project in production –0.8 PPS – Special items from FOCUS performance program – – Gross margin according to IFRS 43.7% 45.5% EBIT before special items m€ 6.9 m€ –1.0 Special items from strategic optimisation project in production m€ –1.5 – Special items from FOCUS performance program – m€ –1.9 EBIT according to IFRS m€ 5.4 m€ –2.9 003 Leifheit Group Quarterly statement for the period ending 30 September 2026

Group earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) for the third quarter (1 July to 30 September 2026) amounted to m€ –0.2 (previous year: m€ 3.4). Significantly lower turnover and the special items arising from the FOCUS program contributed to this. In total, the Leifheit Group recorded Group EBIT of m€ –2.9 in the first nine months of financial year 2026 (previous year: m€ 5.4). Over the ninemonth period, a number of factors led to a decline in earnings compared with the same period last year. Earnings were thus adversely affected by the significant decline in gross profit – due to the lack of contribution margins resulting from the fall in Group turnover – the rise in distribution costs and the decline in other operating income compared with the same period last year. In addition, special items from the FOCUS program weighed on earnings in the amount of m€ 1.9 (previous year: special items from strategic optimisation project in production of m€ 1.5). Group EBIT before special items amounted to m€ –1.0 in the first nine months of 2026 (previous year: m€ 6.9). With a fall in turnover of m€ 9.9, gross profit for the first nine months of 2026 fell by m€ 1.5 to m€ 76.8 (previous year: m€ 78.3). By contrast, the gross margin again rose by 1.8 percentage points to 45.5% (previous year: 43.7%). Even when compared with the previous year’s gross margin before special items of 44.5%, it rose by 1.0 percentage points. This development highlights the effec tiveness of the measures introduced to boost operational efficiency as well as the improved quality of the turnover mix. During the reporting period, distribution costs rose by m€ 4.6 to m€ 62.4 in connection with the strategic initiatives (previous year: m€ 57.8). Advertising expenses increased by m€ 2.1 compared with the same period last year, commissions by m€ 1.2 and freight out by m€ 0.8, mainly due to the rise in e commerce turnover. The special items arising from the FOCUS program on distribution costs amounted to m€ 0.8, mainly relating to compensation payments. Administrative costs rose by m€ 1.5 to m€ 14.1 (previous year: m€ 12.6). Administrative costs include special items totalling m€ 1.1, relating in particular to consultancy services. Furthermore, personnel costs rose by m€ 0.7. In the previous year, there were reversals from the provision for bonuses. Other operating income fell by m€ 1.1, mainly due to a compen sation payment from a supplier for patent infringements in the previous year. As a result, earnings before taxes (EBT) for the first nine months of 2026 fell by m€ 8.5 to m€ –4.2 (previous year: m€ 4.4). Deferred tax assets relating to loss carryforwards in Germany resulted in tax income of m€ 1.5 (previous year: tax expense of m€ 1.2). Consequently, the net result for the period for the first nine months of 2026 amounted to m€ –2.7 (previous year: m€ 3.2). Group liquidity decreased by m€ 15.5 to m€ 17.1 as at the balance sheet date of 30 September 2026 (31 December 2025: m€ 32.6). In the second quarter of 2026, a dividend of m€ 11.0 was paid out. Net cash and cash equivalents – calculated as cash and cash equivalents less lease liabilities – amounted to m€ 15.7 as at 30 September 2026 (31 December 2025: m€ 30.9). The Leifheit Group therefore remains in a strong financial position to consistently pursue the implementation of its Group strategy and the FOCUS program. Cash outflow from operating activities amounted to m€ 0.2 in the reporting period (previous year: cash inflow of m€ 8.3). This was largely due to the lower profit. At m€ 3.6, investments in the first nine months of 2026 were m€ 1.5 lower than in the same period of the previous year, when funds had mainly flowed into the optimisation project in production. Cash outflow from financing activities fell by m€ 3.4 to m€ 11.6 (previous year: m€ 15.0). In the previous year, m€ 3.5 was paid out for the share buyback. Following a free cash flow of m€ – 7.3 in the first half of 2026, this improved significantly in the third quarter, reaching m€ 3.5. This resulted in a free cash flow of m€ – 3.8 for the first nine months of 2026 (previous year: m€ 3.3). The yearonyear decrease of m€ 7.1 is primarily attributable to the m€ 5.9 fall in net result for the period and noncash income and expenses of m€ 2.4, such as the change in deferred taxes. Working capital increased by m€ 3.2 during the reporting period, whereas it had risen by only m€ 2.8 in the same period of the previous year. The balance sheet total decreased by m€ 14.2 to m€ 171.6 com pared to 31 December 2025. On the assets side of the balance sheet, the seasonal increase in trade receivables by m€ 3.3 and in inventories by m€ 1.2 was offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents by m€ 15.5, a decrease in tangible assets by m€ 2.1 and in other current assets by m€ 2.1. On the liabilities side, provisions for pensions fell by m€ 3.9, mainly due to the effect of the discount rate, whilst trade payables and other liabilities rose by m€ 1.2. Equity fell by m€ 10.6 to m€ 82.4 as at 30 September 2026, primarily due to the payment of the dividend. The equity ratio fell by 2.0 percentage points to 48.0% (31 December 2025: 50.0%). The net gearing ratio – calculated as financial liabilities (lease lia bilities) less cash and cash equivalents in relation to equity – stood at –0.19 (31 December 2025: –0.33). 004 Leifheit Group Quarterly statement for the period ending 30 September 2026

Employees As at 30 September 2026, the Leifheit Group had 944 employees. As at 31 December 2025, the Group employed 965 people. Opportunities and risks The opportunities and risks for the Leifheit Group were described in detail in the combined management report as at 31 December 2025. In the reporting period, there were no significant changes in the main opportunities and risks for the remaining months of the financial year. From today’s perspective, there continue to be no risks that jeopar dise the continued existence of the company. Forecast for 2026 In October, the Board of Management slightly revised the Group’s turnover forecast for the full year and now expects Group turnover to decline by a midsingledigit percentage compared with the previous year’s figure (previous year: m€ 232.6). Previously, a slight decline had been forecast. In the Household segment, a decline in turnover in the midsingledigit percentage range is now expected. A decline in the upper singledigit percentage range is expected in the Wellbeing segment, whilst growth in the midsingledigit percentage range is anticipated in the Private Label segment. The Board of Management now expects Group EBIT to be between m€ –5 and m€ –6. Previously, EBIT of m€ 0 had been expected. The updated EBIT forecast includes special expenses of around m€ 7 for the implementation of the FOCUS performance program and for provisions in connection with the early termination of the COO’s contract, the majority of which will be paid out in 2027. EBIT before special items is now expected to be around m€ 1 to m€ 2. Free cash flow for the full year 2026 is expected to be between m€ –1 and m€ –2. Previously, a figure of m€ 0 had been expected. In the final quarter of financial year 2026, the Leifheit Group will continue to pursue the strategic initiatives it has launched. The focus remains on the accelerated implementation of the FOCUS program for the structural transformation of the Group. In addition, Leifheit is continuing to drive forward the brand relaunch that has already begun. To this end, product presentation at the Point of Sale – both instore and online – will continue to be systematically modernised and the marketing of innovations will be tailored to changing consumer needs. By implementing these strategic initiatives, Leifheit is laying the foundations for a more efficient organisation, greater competitiveness and a sustainable improvement in earnings power in the coming years. Further information can be found in the recently published annual report of the Leifheit Group for financial year 2025. The report is available online at https://www.leifheit-group.com/en/investor- relations/reports-and-presentations/.
