Highlights for the third quarter Third quarter was affected by project completions, onboarding of replacement talent and lower activity in Iceland. Revenue fell 3% in constant currency (-7% reported), while EBIT margin improved to 4.0% (3.8%). Billable utilisation rose year-on-year but was lower than second quarter. New customers contributed 7% of revenue, and virtually all new engagements are AI-related, driving modernisation, cloud and managed services. Itera's Cloud & Application Services (CAS) unit delivered 6% gross profit growth in the third quarter, and 15% year-to-date driven by recurring managed services, automation and AI. CAS is increasingly contributing to Itera's margin improvement and growth. Itera was named B2B Energy Innovator of the Year at the CHARGE Europe 2026 awards, recognising our use of digitalisation, data and AI to help energy companies build a more resilient, efficient and sustainable energy sector. Third quarter had a solid cash flow from operations with NOK 20.2 million (NOK -7.2 million), and NOK 66.5 million (NOK 54.1 million) for the last twelve months, with an EBITDA-to-cash conversion rate of 99% (74%). The Board has approved an additional dividend of NOK 0.10 per share, which will be paid on 9th December 2026. This brings the total dividend payments in 2026 to NOK 0.30 per share.

INTERIM REPORT Q3 2026 PAGE 4 OF 21 ITERA CEO’s comment Building for AI-driven growth Q3 was a transition quarter, with project completions and investments in new talent and agentic AI capabilities affecting revenue and utilisation, while strengthening Itera’s platform for renewed profitable growth. The third quarter was a transition quarter for Itera. Several customer projects were completed before summer, while during Q3 we onboarded new talent and capabilities needed for our transformation into an AI-driven and increasingly agentic company. The transition affected utilisation and revenue, with revenue declining 3% in constant currency. Despite the lower activity, EBIT margin improved to 4.0%, while revenue per employee increased 1% in constant currency. Billable utilisation improved year-on-year but declined from Q2, reflecting project completions and the ongoing renewal of our talent base towards commercial and agentic AI capabilities. This capability renewal will continue to impact utilisation in the short term, while strengthening Itera’s platform for AI-driven growth. While the overall market remains selective, we are seeing tangible traction and starting new engagements across AI-driven modernisation, cloud and managed services, and the growing resilience agenda around digital sovereignty, cyber preparedness and critical infrastructure. Itera's long-standing presence in Ukraine provides unique, first-hand learning from operating and delivering through sustained disruption, strengthening our relevance as resilience moves higher on the strategic agenda across the Nordics and Europe. Our position in the energy sector was further recognised when Itera was named B2B Energy Innovator of the Year at the CHARGE Europe 2026 Awards, reflecting our role in applying digitalisation, data and AI to accelerate resilience, efficiency and sustainability across the energy sector. This transformation is also changing how we think about talent and capacity. We are renewing our talent base while redesigning how work is performed through AI. Our ambition is to build teams where talented consultants work alongside AI agents, increasing productivity, accelerating delivery and creating greater value for our customers. Our operational improvement programme has created a stronger foundation for this next phase. Following the divestment of our recruitment company and refocusing our Icelandic operations, operating expenses declined 8% year-on-year, while adjusted EBIT margin for the first nine months improved to 6.7% from 5.5%. Cloud & Application Services is demonstrating the potential of our evolving business model, with gross profit growing 15% year-to-date, supported by managed services, automation and AI. The stronger operating model is also reflected in improved cash generation, both in the quarter and over the last twelve months, with LTM cash generation up 23%. Our immediate priority is conversion and execution: increasing utilisation, deploying our renewed capabilities effectively and converting our opportunity pipeline into larger, billable engagements. At the same time, we will deepen our strategic customer relationships, expand recurring revenues I thank all employees for their resilience and commitment as we continue to live our promise — Care. Challenge. Create. Arne Mjøs FOUNDER & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

INTERIM REPORT Q3 2026 PAGE 5 OF 21 ITERA Financial review Third quarter 2026Financial reporting The comments in this financial review relate to the performance of Itera’s operations in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2026 compared to the equivalent period in 2025 unless otherwise stated. The figures given in brackets in this report refer to the equivalent period in 2025. Please refer to Note 4 for a description of the alternative performance measures used. Summary of the third quarter Itera’s revenue in the third quarter of 2026 was 3% lower in constant-currency terms than in the corresponding quarter of 2025, while reported growth was negative at 7%. The gross profit decreased by 7% with the gross profit margin on par with 2025 at 92.5%. Number of FTEs decreased with 5% year-over-year with a mix of billable and non-billable FTEs.

Average number of working days in the third quarter of 2026, weighted for Itera’s country mix, was 1 day higher compared with corresponding period of 2025. Billable utilisation improved year-on-year but fell from second quarter due to finalized projects and renewal of our talent base towards stronger commercial capabilities and new agentic AI skills. Growth in consultancy was also affected by lower activity in the Icelandic market. Revenue per FTE increased by 1% in constant currency. Itera’s operating profit (EBIT) for the third quarter of 2026 was NOK 7.3 million (NOK 7.6 million). The improvement programme implemented earlier this year contributes to increased operational efficiency. Operating revenue and Gross profit Itera reports operating revenue of NOK 183.2 million (NOK 196.3 million) for the third quarter of 2026, which represents a decrease of 3% in constant-currency terms and 7% reported. Revenue from Itera’s consultancy services declined 7% year-on-year to NOK 147 million, of which approximately 4 percentage points were attributable to negative currency effects. Revenue from subscription-based services and other revenue were 5% lower than in third quarter in 2025, at NOK 20 million, and NOK 11 million, respectively. Subscriptions related to Cloud & Application Services (CAS) had a healthy growth in the quarter, while revenues from Cicero subscriptions are declining and offsetting growth in CAS. Revenue from third-party services was 3% lower than in third quarter in 2025, at NOK 5 million. Revenue decreased by 3 % in constant currency in Q3-2026. Reported operating revenue per employee was NOK 273 thousand in the third quarter of 2026, which represents a decrease of 2%. In constant currency revenue per FTE increased by 1%. For the first nine months of the year, revenue was NOK 616.3 million (NOK 630.8 million), representing a decline of 2%. In constant currency there is a growth of 1%. Gross profit was NOK 169.5 million (NOK 181.5 million) in the third quarter of 2026 which represents a decrease of 7%. The gross profit margin on par with 2025 at 92.5%.

Cost of sales was NOK 13.7 million (NOK 14.8 million) in the third quarter and NOK 41.6 million (NOK 47.4 million) for the first nine months of 2026. Cost of sales consists mainly of subscriptions and third-party services, including cloud consumption. The reduction in cost of sales is mainly attributable to reduction in third party licenses. Personnel expenses were NOK 136.9 million (NOK 151.9 million) in the third quarter of 2026, which represents a decrease of 10%.

INTERIM REPORT Q3 2026 PAGE 7 OF 21 ITERA The proportion of Itera’s capacity in Central and Eastern Europe, supporting our distributed delivery model, was 48% (49%) at the end of the third quarter of 2026. Our distributed delivery model is highly scalable and provides access to both capacity and talent that is not available in local markets. Through our presence in the region, we tap into a large pool of digitally skilled people. Itera was included in the 2026 Global Outsourcing 100, a prestigious annual list of the world's top outsourcing service providers produced by IAOP®. Significant risks and uncertainties Itera operates in a dynamic market shaped by multiple factors both within and beyond the Group’s control. As highlighted in our 2025 Annual Report, our main business risks relate to market demand, competitive pressure, pricing dynamics, the recruitment and retention of skilled professionals, and the ability to deliver projects with high quality and predictability. These risks remain present in 2026. Furthermore, the softer market conditions experienced since mid-2023 and the AI-driven transformation of the IT-industry have reinforced the need for continued focus on utilisation, customer proximity, investment in new skills and capabilities and disciplined execution to maintain competitiveness. Itera’s financial exposure continues to include currency fluctuations — especially against the DKK, SEK, USD and EUR — as well as interest-rate-sensitive impacts on deposits, leasing arrangements and available credit facilities. The war in Ukraine continues to influence the operating environment in one of Itera’s most important delivery locations. Ukraine’s energy infrastructure remains vulnerable, with cascading grid disruptions illustrating the fragility of critical systems. Broader economic indicators—such as a widening trade deficit, currency depreciation and increased fiscal pressure—underscore the elevated macroeconomic uncertainty facing businesses operating in the country. Despite this, our teams in Ukraine continue to demonstrate remarkable resilience and professionalism. To safeguard continuity of delivery, Itera has ensured that all offices, as well as consultants working from home, are equipped with backup power supplies and secure connectivity options, enabling stable operations even during prolonged outages. Itera remains firmly committed to investing in and developing its Ukrainian operations, while maintaining strengthened delivery capacity across EU-based locations to mitigate operational concentration risk. Geopolitical uncertainty continues to affect Nordic businesses more broadly. The renewed era of transactional foreign policy has contributed to more fragmented global operating conditions, with implications for supply chains, regulatory coherence and market stability. In parallel, the Nordic region has seen a marked increase in cyber-attacks reflecting heightened geopolitical tension and the region’s strategic digital importance. These developments are driving customers to place greater emphasis on secure, resilient and sovereign-aligned digital services—an expectation Itera is well positioned to meet through our multidisciplinary capabilities and long-standing industry expertise. European digital regulation, including the AI Act, GDPR, NIS2 and DORA, creates compliance and contractual requirements for Itera, directly or through its customers, depending on the jurisdiction and services provided. Requirements relating to AI governance, cybersecurity, operational resilience and cross-border data access may increase costs and constrain delivery locations and subcontracting, affecting the flexibility of the Group’s distributed delivery model. Non-compliance could result in penalties, contractual claims, reputational damage or loss of business. Itera monitors regulatory developments and adapts its governance, services and delivery arrangements accordingly. These developments may also create opportunities for Itera to help customers address regulatory requirements through its technology capabilities and Integrated Management System. Overall, the Group’s risk remains characterised by geopolitical tension, evolving regulation, cyber-security challenges, AI-driven changes that challenges the traditional business- and delivery models for consultancy, and macroeconomic uncertainty. Itera continuously assesses these factors to ensure appropriate mitigation measures are in place, but also seize opportunities from changes and challenges. Itera remains confident in the strength of its people, customer relationships and delivery model to navigate the period ahead. Outlook Demand remains selective, but we see stronger pockets of activity within AI-driven modernisation, cloud, data and managed services, sovereignty, cyber security and resilience. Agentic AI transformation is a key growth driver, and virtually all new engagements are now AI-related. We are renewing our talent and capabilities, and reusable platforms are helping us scale delivery. Our focus is on converting pipeline into billable work and expanding strategic accounts. Capability renewal will continue to impact utilisation in the near term. We aim to grow recurring revenue and reach by growing Cloud & Application Services, scaling product and outcome-based offerings, and broadening our Nordic and CEE sales. 699725707702705695686672670 0100200300400500600700800 Q324Q325Q326 No. of employees at period end

INTERIM REPORT Q3 2026 PAGE 8 OF 21 ITERA Through Enter Ukraine with Itera, we continue to support customers establishing a presence in Ukraine and taking part in reconstruction programmes, which we see as a longer-term opportunity, including our core business. Currency remains a key factor. A stronger NOK reduced reported growth to -7% in the third quarter, compared with -3% in constant currency, and Itera continues to be exposed to DKK, SEK, EUR and USD. We will maintain cost discipline, keep improving operating efficiency and protect cash conversion to deliver profitable growth and cash flow. Itera does not provide guidance to the market on future prospects.

INTERIM REPORT Q3 2026 PAGE 9 OF 21 ITERA Business review Positioning Itera for renewed growth Itera continued to position the business for renewed growth: AI is moving deeper into customer delivery, established customer relationships are opening broader opportunities, and the company is concentrating its efforts on the areas with the strongest potential for sustainable growth. Industries, customers and growth priorities Itera is strongly positioned in financial services, energy and industry, the public sector and the growing defence market—segments expected to increase technology investment in the years ahead. Significant modernisation needs and a heightened focus on preparedness and operational resilience create opportunities for Itera to combine deep industry expertise with capabilities in AI, cloud, data and cybersecurity to deliver substantial customer value. The customer base remains concentrated, with the 30 largest customers accounting for 72% of operating revenue during the period, unchanged from the third quarter of 2025. New customers acquired during the last 12 months contributed 7% of revenue, or NOK 12.7 million. AI in customer delivery AI is moving from exploration into concrete customer delivery. Customer dialogue increasingly focuses on applying AI within existing operations, products and services, rather than discussing the technology in isolation. The modernisation work for DNV Maritime illustrates this development: an initial engagement can expand into a broader, multidisciplinary programme, while reusable solutions make delivery more scalable and repeatable. Building capabilities for the agentic era Itera believes that consulting will become increasingly agentic, with AI agents embedded in business processes and delivery. In this model, competitive advantage comes from combining skilled people and deep domain expertise with proprietary tools and reusable workflows. Agents, workflows and analytical capabilities developed in one engagement can become institutional knowledge that supports faster delivery and compounds insight across customers and industries. Over the past year, Itera has invested in three capabilities that support AI-enabled delivery at scale. Code Compass is an AI-native code intelligence platform that helps agents and developers understand and modernise complex applications. Digital Factory supports the design and orchestration of multi-agent workflows at scale, while Atlas Data Fabric uses AI to improve transparency, quality and control in data migration and governance. Together, these capabilities provide a foundation for more scalable and repeatable delivery. Commercial interest in these capabilities is increasing across all our key sectors, with a growing pipeline of customers exploring how they can accelerate the modernisation of their digital core. In insurance, Itera is engaged in several discussions on modernising and replacing legacy core systems, including large Cobol-applications on mainframes using AI and agentic capabilities to accelerate analysis, reduce transformation risk and improve execution. Itera is also applying these capabilities internally within Cloud & Application Services (CAS). The ambition is to establish comprehensive digital twins of the applications and infrastructure managed by Itera, creating a stronger foundation for AI-enabled operations, automation and increasingly agentic managed services. Deepening strategic customer relationships Itera continues to see opportunities to grow through deeper relationships with existing customers. During the quarter, the focus increasingly shifted towards broader engagements combining technology, digital design, cloud and AI to address interconnected business challenges. Energy & Industry delivered strong momentum, supported by expanded relationships with Statnett, Statkraft and Hafslund, longer-term assignments within energy and critical infrastructure, and work with DNV Energy Systems and DNV Maritime. Financial Services & Insurance continued to develop through Fremtind and Eika. High customer satisfaction provides a strong platform for cross-selling, multidisciplinary engagements and broader delivery scope. Nordic Fintech Week and financial resilience Itera was again a sponsor of Nordic Fintech Week in Copenhagen, actively contributing to several panel discussions with a particular focus on financial resilience, AI and the future of financial services. The event strengthened

INTERIM REPORT Q3 2026 PAGE 10 OF 21 ITERA Itera’s Nordic market position and generated a new pipeline of opportunities across the region, supporting the company’s ambition to expand its presence in Denmark. Alongside the conference, Itera served as rapporteur for an Executive Roundtable on Financial Resilience, Sovereignty and Cyber Preparedness, hosted by Copenhagen Fintech and Finance Denmark. Drawing on 18 years of experience in Ukraine, Itera helped translate lessons from operating through sustained disruption into practical recommendations for strengthening Nordic and European financial resilience. B2B Energy Innovator of the Year Itera was named B2B Energy Innovator of the Year at the CHARGE Europe 2026 Awards, alongside recognised energy-sector winners including Equinor, HS Orka, Petrotec Group and PLAN-B NET ZERO. The CHARGE Europe Awards recognise companies setting new standards in innovation, customer value and brand development across the international energy sector. The award reflects Itera's combination of deep energy expertise with practical applications of cloud, data and AI, as well as its unique position connecting Nordic energy companies with needs and opportunities in Ukraine through Enter Ukraine with Itera. The recognition reinforces Itera's position at the intersection of energy, digitalisation, AI and resilience. Operational resilience The ability to maintain critical digital operations in uncertain conditions is becoming more relevant in customer discussions. Itera’s experience of operating and delivering services in Ukraine has strengthened the company’s practical understanding of resilience, continuity and distributed delivery. Despite ongoing missile and drone attacks, deliveries have remained uninterrupted, supported by extensive safety measures, backup power, Starlink connectivity, integrated quality management and Itera’s cross-border operating model. This first-hand experience strengthens Itera's relevance as resilience moves higher on the strategic agenda across Europe. People, resilience and new ways of working The resilience demonstrated in Itera’s operations is also reflected in its people and culture. Fourteen colleagues are currently serving in Ukraine’s armed forces, and Itera remains connected with them and provides ongoing support, including a fixed monthly contribution. Their resilience reflects a wider culture built on Care, Challenge and Create. Building on this culture, Itera is developing new ways of working that combine human expertise with AI, automation and agentic workflows to improve customer value, project delivery and the way the business operates.

Notes Note 1: General and accounting principles Itera (the Group) consists of Itera ASA (the Company) and its subsidiaries. Itera ASA is a public limited liability company incorporated in Norway and listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange with the ticker ITERA. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements cover the Group. As a result of rounding differences, some numbers and percentages may not add up to the totals given. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ending 30 September 2026 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual report for 2025. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025. The interim financial information contained in this report has not been audited or reviewed. Since the first quarter of 2025, Itera has had a new type of revenue related to its Enter Ukraine with Itera service offering. Under these contracts, Itera may offer advisory services and onsite business support as well as act as a sales agent for the customers on a commission basis. The revenue stream may vary from contract to contract with elements recognised either point-in-time and/or over time depending on the attributes of Itera’s performance obligations. Note 2: Transactions with related parties There have been no material transactions with related parties during the reporting period 1 January 2026 to 30 September 2026. Note 3: Events after the balance sheet date On 3rd November 2026, the Board of Directors resolved to distribute an additional dividend of NOK 0.10 per share for the financial year 2025. The Board acted under the authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting on 27th May 2026. Based on 81 188 645 shares outstanding (excluding own shares) at 30th September 2026, the dividend amounts to approximately NOK 8.1 million. The share will trade ex-dividend from 30th November 2026, and the dividend is expected to be paid on 9th December 2026. The dividend was declared after the balance sheet date and is therefore not recognised as a liability at 30th September 2026. It will reduce equity in the fourth quarter of 2026. There have been no other events after 30th September 2026 that would have a material effect on the interim accounts. Note 4: Alternative performance measures In accordance with the guidelines issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority on alternative performance measures (APMs), Itera publishes definitions for the alternative performance measures used by the company. Alternative performance measures, i.e. performance measures not based on financial reporting standards, provide the company’s management, investors and other external users with additional relevant information on the company’s operations by excluding matters that may not be indicative of the company’s operating result or cash flow. Itera has adopted non-recurring costs, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, EBIT, EBIT margin and equity ratio as alternative performance measures both because the company thinks these measures will increase the level of understanding of the company’s operational performance and because these represent performance measures that are often used by analysts and investors and other external parties. Non-recurring costs are significant costs that are not expected to reoccur under normal circumstances. EBITDA is short for earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation. It is calculated as profit for the period before (i) tax expense, (ii) financial income and expenses and (iii) depreciation and amortisation. EBITDA margin is calculated as EBITDA as a proportion of operating revenue. EBIT is short for earnings before interest and tax and is calculated as profit for the period before (i) tax expense and (ii) financial income and expenses. EBIT margin is calculated as EBIT as a proportion of operating revenue. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT refer to adjustments made for non-recurring items. Constant-currency growth is the change in operating revenue compared with the same period last year, excluding the effect of exchange-rate changes. Operating revenue for the current period is translated into NOK at the average exchange rates for the corresponding period last year. Equity ratio without IFRS 16 is the equity ratio excluding the value of the Right-of-use assets (IFRS 16 leased assets)

Note 5: Non-recurring operating expenses Itera's Icelandic subsidiary has continued its efforts to recover a material overdue trade receivable. During the second quarter of 2026, the legal process clarified that the personal guarantees supporting the receivable were not readily enforceable and that recovery was expected to take longer than previously anticipated. While Itera continues to pursue legal enforcement of the guarantees, management has concluded that there is significant uncertainty regarding recovery of the remaining exposure. As a result, the remaining net receivable of NOK 5 million was written off during the second quarter. NOK 3 million was written off during the first quarter of 2026, in total NOK 8 million for the nine first months of the year. In addition, as part of the operational improvement program and increased focus on its core business, Itera decided to divest Mosaique Headhunting AS. The company reported negative EBIT in both 2025 (NOK -2.2 million) and first half year of 2026 (NOK -1.2 million), and the divestment assessment led to certain operational and intangible assets being expensed in the second quarter. Both net losses and expensed assets have been considered as non-recurring items. In the second quarter of 2026 there were recognised NOK 5.6 million in non-recurring expenses classified as other operating expenses and NOK 1.7 million classified as depreciations and amortisations. In the nine first months of 2026 NOK 8.6 million in non-recurring expenses are recognised and classified as other operating expenses while NOK 1.7 million is recognised and classified as depreciations and amortisations.
