Order intake remains strong, and our order book is at a record level, this time driven by demand for our Coating Solu- tions for Advanced Packaging applica- tions. As with the first major wave of orders for our bonders and debonders in 2023 and 2024, we need to scale our production network efficiently in order to convert this demand into profitable growth. Accordingly, we are further developing our global p ro- duction network and we will concentrate manufacturing at our two largest production sites in Zhubei and Ster nenfels. The decision to end production at the Garching site in 2027, after more than 60 years of manufacturing, was not an easy one for us. In the current situation, we must scale our production network so that we can process the record order book quickly and reliably. This strengthens our scalability, simplifies processes and creates the condition s to serve customers worldwide even more efficiently. Our updated Outlook takes into account the impact of this realignment as well as the continuing sup- ply chain bottlenecks. At the same time, the fundam ental growth drivers of our business remain un- changed and strong.” Burkhardt Frick CEO

Please refer to the explanations in the "Notes" section of this quarterly statement on page 21. Business performance In the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, the stron g development in order intake continued. With €223.5 million, SUSS r ecorded an ex- cellent result for the third consecutive quarter. T he main driver was the sustained high demand for advanced packaging ap plications, particularly for coating solutions. The major order already reported in the second quarter was expanded by additional tools worth approx- imately €50 million. Another OSAT customer also began expanding its advanced packaging capacities with large coater orders. As a result, the Coating product line in the Advanced Backend Solu- tions segment recorded by far the strongest growth, underlining our strong position in Advanced Packaging. The Imaging and Bonding product lines also performed very well and recorded significantly higher order intake than in the prior-year period. In addition to the strong growth in the Advanced Backend Solutions seg ment, the Photomask Solutions segment also showed a clear recovery. Order intake rose to €130.4 million, well above the prior -year figure of €54.3 million. In the first nine months of the fiscal year, order intake increased to a total of €633.5 million. This represents an increas e of 167.5% com- pared with the prior-year figure of €236.8 million. Order Intake (in € million) The order book reached a new record in the company' s history at the end of the third quarter, at €600.6 million (prior year: €274.9 mil- lion; +118.5%). SUSS thus has a solid order base th at extends well beyond the current fiscal year and already provides good visibility for 2027. With sales of €299.8 million, the book-to-bill ratio for the first nine months was 2.1. SUSS therefore won more than twice as many new orders as sales recognized. This metric reflects the high investment readiness of customers and creates a strong foundat ion for busi- ness development in the coming years. The Advanced Backend Solutions segment developed pa rticularly strongly and recorded order intake of €503.1 millio n in the first nine months (prior year: €182.5 million). The Photomask Solutions seg- ment also showed a very clear recovery, with €130.4 million (prior year: €54.3 million). Sales (in € million) The sales for the first nine months totaled €299.8 million. In the prior-year period, which marked a record high in the company's his- tory with sales of €385.6 million, sales were there fore lower, as ex- pected. In the third quarter, timing shifts in the completion of tools due to limited component availability led to deliveries being pushed into the following quarter. As a result, quarterly sales of €97.0 million (prior year: €119.0 million) were below the prior-year quarter. 124,9 141,7 119,0 117,6 86,5 116,2 97,0 0 50 100 150 200 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 2025 2026 88,1 78,7 70,0 117,6149,3 260,7 223,5 0 100 200 300 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 2025 2026

SUSS Quarterly Statement as of September 30, 2026 Key Figures │Quarterly Statement │ Quarterly Financial Statement │ Additional Information │ Financial Calendar < > ≡ 5 Gross profit margin (in %) Gross profit amounted to €110.8 million in the first nine month s (prior year: €141.9 million). The gross profit margin increased to 37.0% (prior year: 36.8%), reaching the upper end of the forecast corridor of 35% to 37%. The main drivers of the gross profit margin were the higher share of the high-margin service business an d efficiency gains from improved utilization of production capacity. Research and development expenses (R&D (in € million) Selling expenses decreased by 9.0% to €19.0 million in the report- ing period (prior year: €20.8 million). Research and development ex- penses increased by 11.0% compared with the prior y ear to €38.0 million (prior year: €34.2 million). As a result, t he R&D ratio, i.e. the ratio of research and development expenses to sales, was 12.7% in the first nine months (prior year: 8.9%). The increase in research and development expenses is in line with our strategic plan. As part of our Ambition 2030, we are investing specifically in expanding the product portfolio, particularly the GreenTec produc t family, new bonding technologies and the next generation of lit hography and cleaning solutions. Administrative expenses rose slightly to €31.8 million in the first nine months (prior year: €31.4 million). In total, sell- ing, general and administrative expenses, as well a s research and development expenses, increased by 2.7% to €88.8 mi llion in the first three quarters of the fiscal year (prior year: €86.5 million). In the reporting period, the balance of other operating income and other operating expenses was negative at €-3.7 million (prior year: +€3.2 million). The main driver was non-cash negati ve currency ef- fects, particularly from movements in the Renminbi (RMB), the US dollar and the Japanese yen (JPY). EBIT margin (in %) EBIT for the first nine months of fiscal year 2026 amounted to €18.3 million (prior year: €58.6 million). In addition to the lower gross profit due to lower volume, research and development costs increased and negative exchange rate effects were recorded. T he EBIT mar- gin was therefore 6.1%, not yet within the full-year f orecast corridor (prior year: 15.2%). In the third quarter, the EBIT margin was 4.2% (prior year: 12.2%). The financial result for the reporting period was -€0.7 million, below the prior-year figure of €0.7 million. The change resulted mainly from lower interest income and higher interest expenses on lease liabili- ties for the site in Taiwan, which had only been in curred from the second quarter in the prior year. Net income for th e period amounted to €10.2 million in the first nine months (prior year: €40.1 million). 34,2 38,0 0 10 20 30 40 9M 2025 9M 2026 18,0% 15,2% 12,2% 6,2% 4,3% 9,0% 4,2% 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 2025 2026 39,2% 36,9% 34,2% 31,9% 36,1% 38,0% 36,5% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 2025 2026

SUSS Quarterly Statement as of September 30, 2026 Key Figures │Quarterly Statement │ Quarterly Financial Statement │ Additional Information │ Financial Calendar < > ≡ 6 Development in the segments Segment Advanced Backend Solutions The Advanced Backend Solutions segment comprises the develop- ment, manufacturing and sale of the Imaging Systems product line (mask aligners and UV projection scanners), the Coa ting Systems product line (coater/developers and tools for inkje t coating pro- cesses) and the Bonding Systems product line (temporary and per- manent bonders). Manufacturing of these product lines is located in Germany at the Garching near Munich and Sternenfels sites, and in Taiwan at the Zhubei site. The main target market of this segment is the advanced backend of the semiconductor industry. Key figures Advanced Backend Solutions in € million Q3 2026 Q3 2025 9M 2026 9M2025 Order intake 176.9 62.4 503.1 182.5 Order book 464.3 187.

The Coating product l ine dominated, ac- counting around 50% of order intake for tools in th e Advanced Backend Solutions segment. Demand for our Imaging a nd Bonding solutions also improved significantly compared with the prior-year period. The order book in the Advanced Backend Solutions segment rose to €464.3 million as of September 30, 2026, as a re sult of strong order intake (prior year: €187.1 million). Segment sales in the first three quarters of 2026 was €223.8 mil - lion, approximately 14.9% below the prior-year figure of €263.0 mil- lion. This development was due to the shift in deli veries caused by limited component availability, particularly in the third quarter. In the sales mix, the Bonding Solutions product line decli ned significantly to around one-third of segment sales. Our Coating solutions, by con- trast, recorded a slight increase in sales. The sha re of our Imaging solutions in sales also rose and accounted for arou nd one-quarter of segment sales. Gross profit amounted to €79.3 million in the first nine months (prior year: €92.5 million). The gross profit margin of th e Advanced Backend Solutions segment improved to 35.4% in the first three quarters of 2026 (prior year: 35.2%). In the third quarter of 2026, gross profit was €27.6 million (prior year: €31.9 m illion). The gross profit margin rose by 2.9 percentage points in the third quarter, from 34.0% to 36.9%. Segment EBIT for the reporting period was €14.1 million (prior year: €29.1 million). The EBIT margin was 6.3%, compared with 11.1% in the prior-year period. In the third quarter, the EB IT margin reached 7.7% (prior year: 11.0%). Segment Photomask Solutions The Photomask Solutions segment comprises the devel opment, manufacturing and sale of solutions specialized in cleaning and pro- cessing photomasks, mainly in the front end of semiconductor man- ufacturing. The tools are manufactured at the Sternenfels site. Order intake in the Photomask Solutions segment amounted to €130.4 million in the first nine months of the fisc al year, well above the prior-year figure of €54.3 million. The increase came primarily in the first half of the year from customers in China. In the third quarter, orders were received from Taiwan and the United States. The order book stood at €136.3 million as of September 30, 20 26, above the prior-year figure of €87.8 million. Sales in the reporting period were €76.0 million, a sign ificant de- cline from €122.6 million in the prior year, reflec ting weak order in- take in the prior year. At the same time, demand ha s already im- proved significantly.

Gross profit for the Photomask Solutions segment after three quar- ters was €28.8 million, significantly below the pri or year’s figure of €48.2 million, due to lower volume. The gross profi t margin was 37.9%, 1.5 percentage points below the prior-year f igure of 39.4%. Sales reflect a smaller number of tools sold. Margi n development may therefore fluctuate more strongly depending on the customer mix. Segment EBIT fell from €33.6 million to €9.8 million due to low er sales volume and gross profit. The EBIT margin in t he reporting pe- riod was 12.9%, compared with 27.4% in the prior year period. In the Photomask Solutions segment, research and de velopment activities so far this year have focused on the next generation of the high-end MaskTrack SMART platform for cleaning phot omasks for the most advanced High-NA EUV lithography. In parallel, the design phase of a new cleaning platform for the mid-end segment was suc- cessfully completed. The solution addresses technol ogy nodes from 32 to 90 nanometers, and the first prototypes are already in production. Market launch of both solutions is planned for the fourth quarter of 2026. In addition, we have consistently advanced the de- velopment of a new wafer cleaning solution. Buildin g on our many years of expertise in photomask cleaning and our capabilities in wa- fer processing in the Advanced Backend Solutions se gment, a par- ticularly sustainable cleaning solution for backend applications in the semiconductor industry has been developed under the market name GreenTec. After the reporting period, on Octob er 1, 2026, the first tool of the new product line, the GT200, was officially unveiled. A key focus in developing the GreenTec product line is on innovative processes using environmentally compatible process media. A first system, which already takes our customers' requirem ents into ac- count, is installed at the application center in Sternenfels, where it is being used in demonstration projects for customers. Segment Central Group Functions The Central Group Functions reflect the expenses an d income of the central corporate functions that cannot be allocated to individual segments. In the reporting period, the Central Group Functions rec- orded EBIT of -€5.6 million (prior year: -€7.4 million).

SUSS Quarterly Statement as of September 30, 2026 Key Figures │Quarterly Statement │ Quarterly Financial Statement │ Additional Information │ Financial Calendar < > ≡ 8 Development in the regions Order Intake by region (in € million) The regions APAC (Asia Pacific), North America and EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) are the key global regions for SUSS's busi- ness. In the first nine months of 2026, the APAC re gion accounted for €471.3 million, or 74.4%, of order intake. Although total order vol- ume rose significantly, this represented a decline of 1.7 percentage points (prior year: 76.1%). The EMEA region's share of order intake fell to 11.2% (prior year: 13.4%), while the North America region's share rose to 14.3% (prior year: 10.4%). Sales by region (in € million) Sales in the APAC region for the first three quarte rs of fiscal year 2026 amounted to €233.0 million (prior year: €326.4 million). This represented a share of 77.7% of sales and a decline of 28.6% com- pared with the prior year. Both order intake and sa les were largely concentrated in Taiwan and China. In the North Amer ica region, sales rose to €38.2 million in the first three quar ters (prior year: €30.9 million). Sales in the EMEA region increased slightly in the re- porting period, from €28.4 million in the prior yea r to €28.6 million. Its share of sales was 9.5%. Assets and Financial Position Balance Sheet Structure The total assets of the SUSS Group amounted to €604.0 million as of September 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025: €507.4 million). Non-current assets rose to €127.1 million (December 31, 2025: €120.8 million). Current assets increased to €476.9 million (December 31, 2025: €386.7 million), driven by higher inventories, mainly tools as work in progress, and a higher balance of cash and cash equivalents. Equity was slightly higher than as of December 31, 2025, at €328.9 million. Due to the increase in total assets, the equity ratio was 54.5% (December 31, 2025: 62.2%). Non-current liabilities rose slightly to €75.2 million (December 31, 2025: €74.2 million). The main factor was the increase in deferred tax liabilities to €25.2 million (December 31, 2025: €22.7 million). Within current liabilities, which totaled €199.9 million, contract lia- bilities rose significantly, from €45.2 million to €128.2 million, due to higher customer prepayments for the extensive coater projects. Financial Position The Group's net liquidity, which is derived from the balance of cash and cash equivalents, financial liabilities to banks and lease liabilities, increased by €63.0 million compared with December 31, 2025, and amounted to €112.1 million as of September 30, 2026. The increase is mainly attributable to the rise in cash and cash equivalents resulting from higher customer prepayments. Cash flow Cash flow from operating activities amounted to +€80.3 million in the reporting period, well above the prior-year figure of -€10.4 million. The positive development in the first nine months r esulted mainly from lower cash tied up in net operating working ca pital compared with the prior year, in particular due to significa ntly higher contract liabilities from customer prepayments, primarily fo r the extensive 24,7 90,9 31,8 71,2 180,3 471,3 0 200 400 600 9M 2025 9M 2026 North America EMEA APAC 30,9 38,2 28,4 28,6 326,4 233,0 0,0 100,0 200,0 300,0 400,09M 2025 9M 2026 North America EMEA APAC

SUSS Quarterly Statement as of September 30, 2026 Key Figures │Quarterly Statement │ Quarterly Financial Statement │ Additional Information │ Financial Calendar < > ≡ 9 orders for coating solutions. The build-up of inven tories by €26.5 million weighed on cash flow in the reporting period. By contrast, the change in contract assets of €10.4 million had a po sitive effect. In the comparative period, inventories had decreased b y €5.0 million, while contract assets had increased by €1.8 million. Cash flow from investing activities amounted to -€15.0 million af- ter the first three quarters of the fiscal year (prior year: -€21.2 million). Payments for property, plant and equipment totaled €15.7 million. Part of these payments relate to self-constructed t ools that SUSS intends to use for demonstration and training purpo ses. Disburse- ments for other tangible assets were therefore slig htly below the prior-year figure of €17.1 million. In the prior-ye ar period, disburse- ments for other tangible assets were shaped by the build-up of the site in Zhubei, Taiwan. Free cash flow, defined as the sum of cash flow from operating ac- tivities and cash flow from investing activities (i ncluding discontin- ued operations), amounted to +€65.3 million in the reporting period, which was €96.8 million above the free cash flow of -€31.5 million in the comparative period. Cash flow from financing activities was -€4.2 million (prior year: - €9.2 million). The decrease resulted mainly from a lower dividend payment for fiscal year 2025 of €0.8 million (prior year: €5.7 million). As of September 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents amounted to €160.4 million (December 31, 2025: €98.7 million ). This includes €0.6 million that is not freely available. In addition to its liquid funds, the Group has a syndicated credit facility of €115 million (prior year: €56 million), which can be drawn for guarantees and cash drawings. As of September 30, 2026, as in the prior year, no cash loans had been drawn. Guarantees totaling €6.8 million (prior year: €8.1 million) were utilized, the latter primarily for advance pay ment guarantees for customer prepayments. Risks and Opportunities The analysis and assessment of the Group's opportunities and risks is the subject of ongoing review by the Management Board and the operational management team. Based on opportunity-o riented yet risk-conscious management, we aim for a balanced ap proach to risk avoidance, risk reduction and controlled risk acceptance. Awareness of risks should not impair our ability to recognize oppor- tunities and to use them in the interest of our sha reholders for the positive development of the company. For a complete description of our approach to identifying, assessing and managing the risks and opportunities of the SUSS Group, please refer to the explanations in our Combined Management report for fiscal year 2025 . The ex- pected effects of the known "risks of supply shortages and capacity constraints" on the current fiscal year were taken into account in the forecast adjusted on October 27, 2026, based on the information and assessments currently available. The risk is mi tigated by measures that are described, among other things, in the section "Outlook". For further details on general economic and geopoli tical risks, as well as industry- and market-specific risks, please refer to the presentation in the risk report in the half-year report 2026 and to the combined management report in the Annual Report 2025. The opportunities arising from market developments, strategic and operational opportunities, employee-related opportunities, opportu- nities from the acquisition of companies or parts of companies, and opportunities from the increasing geographic divers ification of our customer base, as described in the opportunities report of the man- agement report in the Annual Report 2025, remain unchanged. Report on Subsequent Events On October 1, 2026, SUSS introduced the GT200, its first cleaning solution for wafers in advanced process steps in the semiconductor industry. The GreenTec product line is assigned to the Photomask Solutions segment. The land purchase agreement for the new development and appli- cation center of SUSS MicroTec SE in Karlsruhe was signed on Oc- tober 8, 2026. On October 13, 2026, SUSS announced a strategic partnership with Ignite Next GmbH. Ignite Next is a European platform that connects leading semiconductor companies, start-ups, investo rs and re- search institutions in order to accelerate the deve lopment of new technologies in the semiconductor industry. On October 27, 2026, the Management Board announced an adjust- ment to SUSS's production network. To reflect the e xpenses ex- pected in this context, and as a precautionary response to the con- tinued tense situation in the supply chain, the Man agement Board has updated the forecast for SUSS's development. Outlook After the first three quarters of the fiscal year, SUSS has the strong- est order base in the company's history. Order intake reached a new record level of €633.5 million, and the order book, which as of Sep- tember 30, 2026 stood at €600.6 million compared wi th €274.9

SUSS Quarterly Statement as of September 30, 2026 Key Figures │Quarterly Statement │ Quarterly Financial Statement │ Additional Information │ Financial Calendar < > ≡ 10 million in the prior year, has more than doubled, g iving SUSS a high degree of planning certainty. In addition, we have introduced the first product of the new GreenTec product line and contin ue to imple- ment our product roadmap, with further product launches. Visibility for SUSS already extends beyond 2027. Th e expansion of infrastructure and the increase in personnel capaci ty at our major production sites have already begun. We are preparing SUSS for the coming growth. At the same time, it has become clea r that the Garching production site, due to its size and structure, can no longer meet future requirements for scalability and compet itiveness. We have therefore decided, after careful consideration , to phase out production at the Garching site in 2027 and to relo cate the manu- facturing of the Mask Aligner to Taiwan and module manufacturing to Sternenfels. In connection with the relocation, we expect ex- penses that will burden Group EBIT in 2026 by appro ximately €4.5 million. In total, we expect one-time effects of ap proximately €6.2 million in connection with the production relocation. The risks arising from the tight supply chains have also become more concrete. Despite forward-looking supplier man agement, we currently cannot complete all customer orders within the previously planned schedule due to a lack of component availability. We will not be able to fully make up for the sales shifted from the third quarter in the fourth quarter. In view of the developments in the supply chain sit uation, we inten- sified our supply chain management immediately afte r the first de- livery delays caused by our suppliers, in order to reduce the impact of the tense supply chain situation in the current fiscal year and be- yond. We began ordering critical components and lon g-lead items significantly earlier and with longer lead times, a nd we are currently stockpiling known bottleneck materials. At the same time, we established a task force that, in close coordination with our suppliers, is to ensure the availability of components and materials and, in the event of restrictions, quickly develop alternative sourcing options. We are already seeing initial improvements in the availability of com- ponents, particularly in robotics, and we expect to be able to largely manage the effects of the currently tense supply ch ain situation in the coming months. At the same time, risks from the persistently volatile geopolitical en- vironment remain. In particular, a further significant escalation of ex- isting conflicts, markedly rising or prolonged elevated energy prices, noticeable cost increases for materials, and additi onal delivery de- lays for components and modules could weigh on SUSS in the fourth quarter. Forecast 2026 Performance indicator Forecast 2026 Result 2025 Sales € 405 – 425 million € 503.2 million Gross profit margin 35 – 37 % 35.7 % EBIT margin 5 – 7 % 13.1 % Accordingly, on October 27, 2026, we adjusted our forecast and now expect the following development for SUSS in fiscal year 2026. For sales, we assume a range of €405 million to €425 mi llion (previ- ously: €425 million to €485 million). We continue t o expect the gross profit margin to be 35% to 37%. For the EBIT margin, we as- sume a range of 5% to 7% (previously: 8% to 10%). Forward-looking Statements This Quarterly Statement contains information and f orecasts relat- ing to future developments of the SUSS Group and it s companies. The forecasts represent estimates that we have made based on all the information available to us at the present time . If the assump- tions underlying the forecasts do not materialize o r if unforeseen events occur that affect earnings, the actual resul ts may differ from those currently expected. We assume no obligation a nd do not in- tend to update the forward-looking statements or to correct them if developments other than those expected occur.

Notes In the fourth quarter of 2025, changes to accountin g policies were implemented for the full financial year 2025. As a result, these changes were not refl ected in the quarterly figures for 2025 as previous ly published. We have therefore adjusted the quarterly figures accordingly. The adjustments largely relate to the matters described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 2025, section 2, D), as retrospective adjustments to financial year 2024 (presented as comparative figures for 2024). The same accounting policies have been applied to the consolidated statement of income, statement of comprehensive income, consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statement of changes in equity, consolidated cash flow statement, segment reporting, and earnings per share as in the last published Half-yearly Financial Report as of June 30, 2026. Due to rounding, it is possible that individual figures in this interim report and in other reports may not add up exactly and that percentages shown may not exactly reflect the absolute values to which they refer. All figures in this Quarterly Statement are unaudited.
