2 VATTENFALL INTERIM REPORT JANUARY -SEPTEMBER 2026 CEO’s comment Good results on the path towards fossil freedom Vattenfall delivered good results for the first nine months of 2026, despite a weaker third quarter due to nuclear power outages and lower hydrological balance. Our financial performance underscores that Vattenfall is standing strong in the volatile external environment we operate in. Supported by a robust financial position, we continue to invest in the energy system of the future, while delivering to our customers. Continued high electricity prices Nordic electricity prices more than doubled during the first nine months of 2026 compared with the same period last year. This development was primarily driven by weaker hydrology and high electricity consumption at the beginning of the year, as well as higher electricity prices on the Continent during the third quarter, mainly impacting the closely interlinked southern Nordic price areas. At the same time, the electricity prices in the northern Swedish price areas, where the majority of Vattenfall’s hydro power assets are located, were much lower compared to the Nordic system price. Electricity prices in Germany and the Netherlands increased by more than 20% compared with the first nine months of 2025, driven by higher gas prices due to the conflict in the Middle East and concerns about storage levels ahead of the winter. Good financial performance despite weaker third quarter Underlying operating profit for the first nine months of 2026 increased by SEK 4.5 billion compared with the same period in 2025. The increase was mainly driven by higher Nordic electricity prices, as well as increased earnings contributions from Vattenfall’s wind, customer sales and distribution businesses. This was partly offset by lower volumes from nuclear power mainly due to outages of Ringhals 3 and 4, as well as lower hydro power volumes due to weaker hydrological balance. This especially weighed down the underlying operating profit for the third quarter, which declined by SEK 2.3 billion. The profit for the first nine months increased by SEK 11.7 billion to SEK 24.8 billion. Progress across the value chain I am proud of our progress in projects and investments across the entire value chain this quarter. In August, Vattenfall won the tenders for two Danish offshore wind projects, with a combined capacity of 1.8 GW. Ultimately, Vattenfall’s long-term strategy and the strong position built in Denmark over many years were important factors for the outcomes in the tender processes. The Hesselø and North Sea I Mid wind farms will provide a significant contribution to Denmark’s fossil-free electricity generation and to Vattenfall’s portfolio. In Luleå, Sweden, Vattenfall secured the permit for building new power lines to the Svartön industrial area, strengthening the regional grid and creating conditions for additional industrial decarbonisation. The energy transition does not only require investments in fossil-free generation and electricity grids, but also storage and flexibility. In Germany, Vattenfall took the final investment decision for its largest battery project to date, with output of 254 MW and storage capacity of 1,070 MWh. The battery storage, located at the former Brunsbüttel nuclear power plant, will support grid stability and integration of renewable electricity. As a result of Europe’s dependence on fossil fuels, customers are experiencing increased pressure from high energy prices. Accelerating electrification and expanding fossil-free energy supply is essential to enable the phase-out of fossil fuels. As an integrated utility with a strong local presence in our markets, Vattenfall has the strength and stability to continue enabling fossil freedom, even in volatile times. While our solid financial position enables us to invest across the value chain, we stay focused on operational excellence and efficiency. This is essential to continue building our resilience and competitiveness long-term.

We sell electricity, gas, and heat to private customers and businesses primarily in northern Europe. Vattenfall hedges parts of its future electricity generation through sales on the forward and futures markets. Market development During the first nine months of 2026, the electricity market has been characterised by high electricity prices on Vattenfall’s markets. In the Nordics, electricity prices were significantly higher than in the same period 2025. This was mainly due to weak hydrological balance and higher consumption due to cold weather in the beginning of the year, and additionally due to higher continental prices in the third quarter. The higher continental prices mainly impacted the southern Nordic price areas as they are closely interlinked. Electricity prices on the continent increased mainly due to higher gas prices driven by the conflict in the Middle East and storage level concerns ahead of the winter. ELECTRICITY SPOT PRICES, EUR/MWh The average spot price in the Nordics during the first nine months of 2026 more than doubled compared with the same period 2025. On the continent, the average spot prices during the first nine months also increased, mainly due to higher prices in the third quarter. Jan-Sep. Jul-Sep. EUR/MWh 2026 2025 Change 2026 2025 Change Nordics 77.5 36.0 115% 74.4 36.0 107% Germany 107.7 88.0 22% 125.5 82.8 52% The Netherlands 108.1 86.5 25% 127.6 80.0 60% NORDIC HYDROLOGY Hydrological balance is a measure of the expected amount of energy that is stored in the form of snow, water reservoirs and groundwater in relation to normal circumstances. Historically, the electricity prices in the Nordics have had a negative correlation with the hydrological balance because the available hydropower capacity usually determines which type of energy is used. The electricity prices in the northern parts of the Nordics are still linked to the hydrological balance, while the correlation to the system price and price development in the southern parts has weakened. NO RDIC HYDROLOGICAL BALANCE (TWh) At the end of the third quarter of 2026, the hydrological balance in the Nordics was below normal. Vattenfall’s reservoir levels amounted to 14.0 TWh (16.4 TWh) at the end of the quarter, which is 0.9 TWh lower than the normal level. NORDIC PRICE AREA DIFFERENCES The electricity market in the Nordics is divided into different price areas. In Sweden, there are four price areas and Vattenfall's hydro power assets are mainly in SE1 and SE2, while the nuclear power assets are in SE3. Vattenfall also has wind power assets, most of which are located in SE4. In Denmark, there are two price areas, and Vattenfall has wind power assets in both areas, DK1 and DK2. The Nordic system price (SYS) is a reference price for all price areas and is calculated by the electricity exchange Nord Pool. Vattenfall hedges a substantive portion of its electricity production against the Nordic system price. Thereby, price area differences have an effect on the company’s result development. S POT PRICES PER PRICE AREA AND SYSTEM PRICE (EUR/MWh) 1Difference between SE1 and SE2 is not visible due to high correlation The price area differences have been on a higher level in the first nine months of 2026 compared with the same period in 2025, mainly due to high continental prices, nuclear outages and transmission limitations. The hydrological situation also varied significantly across the Nordics, further contributing to regional price differences. The higher price area differences together with the hedge prices partially counteracted the positive effect on Vattenfall’s results from higher spot prices. Prices in the northern Sweden have decreased relative to SYS, meaning lower prices for Vattenfall’s production in the north of Sweden, SE1 and SE2, compared with the production in the south of Sweden.

FUEL PRICES Fuel prices have a significant impact on electricity prices in Continental Europe and southern Nordic areas which impacts the generation operations. The price of gas and carbon emission allowances directly affect mainly Vattenfall’s heat operations in the Netherlands. Gas prices also influence the Customers & Solutions operating segment, which is responsible for gas sales to customers. Jan-Sep.

The price of emission allowances for carbon dioxide also increased compared to the first nine months of 2025. 1 Achieved prices from the spot market and hedges. Includes Nordic hydro, nuclear and wind power generation PRICE MARGINS The clean spark spread is the margin between the electricity price and the cost of gas and emissions allowances used for its generation. These spreads affect Vattenfall’s heat business in the Netherlands where the fossil-fired combined heat-and power (CHP) plants and condensing plants are located. Gas constitutes a majority of the fuel supply for Vattenfall's heat production, but a smaller share of the company's electricity production. CLEAN SPARK SPREAD (EUR/MWh) The monthly clean spark spread in the Netherlands during the first nine months in 2026 was on average lower compared with the same period in 2025 due to the higher gas prices.

The decrease was mainly driven by lower generation from nuclear power (-4.8 TWh). In addition, generation from fossil based power decreased (-1.9 TWh), mainly as a result of the divestment of the power plants in the IJmond region in the Netherlands on 1 January 2026. Generation from hydro power also decreased (-1.2 TWh). These decreases were partly offset by higher generation from wind power (+1.7 TWh) mainly due to better wind conditions and higher availability for offshore wind power. ELECTRICITY GENERATION (TWh) AVAILABILITY The availability of nuclear power and wind power is not comparable given that different methods are used as generation of electricity from nuclear power is plannable and generation of electricity from wind power is dependent on wind speeds. Availability of nuclear power is calculated as the available generation divided by the generation possible if operating at full capacity during the same period, excluding planned outages. Availability of wind power is calculated as the ratio of actual revenue to the sum of lost revenue and actual revenue. Availability of nuclear power measures performance in terms of production optimisation while for wind the performance is measured in terms of revenue optimisation. Jan-Sep. 2026 2025 Nuclear1 91.5% 94.0% Wind - offshore 94.2% 93.0% Wind – onshore 94.4% 96.3% The availability of Vattenfall’s nuclear power decreased during the first nine months of 2026, primarily due to the outage of Ringhals 3. The availability of offshore wind power increased while the availability of onshore wind power decreased compared with the same period last year. 1) From the second quarter of 2025, nuclear availability is expressed according to UCR (Unit Capability Ratio) which isolates the effect of unplanned outages to give a more accurate picture of technical availability. INSTALLED WIND CAPACITY New installed wind power capacity in the last 12 months amounted to 206 MW and is attributable to Bruzaholm (139 MW) and Velinga (67 MW). 30 Sep 2026 30 Sep 2025 Onshore wind 2,301 2,096 2 Offshore wind 4,454 4,454 Total (MW) 6,755 6,550 Sales development Electricity sales, excluding sales to Nord Pool Spot and deliveries to minority owners, decreased by 20.5 TWh to 66.8 TWh (87.3 TWh) mainly due lower sales to grid operators in France during the first quarter and the divestment of the sales business in France on 31 March 2026. Gas sales decreased by 7.8 TWh to 38.1 TWh (45.9), mainly due to termination of gas sales to the previously owned heat business in Berlin. From the divestment in May 2024, until the end of October 2025, Vattenfall sold gas externally to the company. Heat sales increased by 0.2 TWh to 3.3 TWh (3.1). Jan-Sep.

Lower temperatures usually mean an increased demand for heating (including gas) and electricity. In the Nordic countries, this mainly affects sales of electricity and heat. In Germany and the Netherlands, gas is still the main source of heat, which means that lower temperatures increase the demand for gas in addition to increased heat sales.

6 VATTENFALL INTERIM REPORT JANUARY -SEPTEMBER 2026 Net sales January–September: Consolidated net sales decreased by SEK 19.5 billion (including negative currency effects of SEK 1.9 billion). The decrease is primarily explained by lower revenues from price hedges on the Nordic market, the divestment of the sales business in France, and negative volume effects in the customer sales of electricity and gas. This was partly offset by positive price effects in customer sales of electricity. July–September: Consolidated net sales decreased by SEK 6.3 billion (including positive currency effects of SEK 0.1 billion). The decrease is primarily explained by negative volume effects in the customer sales of electricity, lower revenues from price hedges on the Nordic market, and the divestment of the sales business in France. This was partly offset by positive price effects in customer sales of electricity. Earnings January–September: The underlying operating profit increased by SEK 4.5 billion in total, which is explained by: • Higher earnings contribution from the Wind operating segment (SEK +3.5 billion) mainly explained by higher electricity prices and higher volumes from offshore wind power. • Higher earnings contribution from the Customers & Solutions operating segment (SEK +1.5 billion) mainly due to timing effects related to higher gas grid costs that impacted the customer business in Germany in the same period last year. • Higher earnings contribution from the Distribution operating segment (SEK +0.9 billion), primarily driven by higher revenues as a result of tariff adjustments for the local grid. • Lower earnings contribution from the Power Generation operating segment (SEK -1.6 billion) mainly due to lower volumes from nuclear power and lower revenues from ancillary services, partially offset by higher achieved prices. • Other items, net (SEK +0.2 billion) Items affecting comparability totalled SEK 7.1 billion (-3.6), mainly relating to changes in fair values of energy derivates and inventories (SEK 4.8 billion) and capital gains relating to divestment of Västerbergslagens Energi AB, power plants in the Netherlands and the French sales business (SEK 2.5 billion). See note 4 for further information. Profit for the period amounted to SEK 24.8 billion (13.1) and was in addition to the higher underlying operating profit and items affecting comparability affected by a higher return from the Swedish Nuclear Waste Fund. July–September: The underlying operating profit decreased by SEK 2.3 billion to SEK 3.8 billion. The result was mainly driven by lower contribution from the Power Generation operating segment (SEK -3.6 billion), Customers & Solutions (SEK -0.4 billion) and Distribution (SEK -0.2 billion). This was partially offset by a higher contribution from Wind (SEK +1.8 billion). Items affecting comparability for the third quarter of 2026 amounted to SEK 0.4 billion (-2.8), the majority of which relates to changes in fair values and inventories (SEK 0.7 billion) partially offset by other non-recurring items affecting comparability (SEK -0.3 billion). Cash flow January–September: Cash flow from operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities increased by SEK 3.1 billion mainly as a result of higher operating profit before depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses (EBITDA). This was partly offset by an increase in paid tax mainly relating to additional payments for previous tax years. Cash flow from changes in working capital totalled SEK 24.2 billion. The main contributor was the net of received and paid margin calls (SEK +20.0 billion). July–September: Cash flow from operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities decreased by SEK 1.5 billion mainly as a result of lower operating profit before depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses (EBITDA) adjusted for non-cash items. Cash flow from changes in working capital totalled SEK +15.4 billion. The main contributors were the net of received and paid margin calls (SEK +9.3 billion) as well as lower operating receivables (SEK +3.2 billion) and higher operating liabilities (SEK +2.9 billion) in the Customers & Solutions segment.

Vattenfall’s credit facilities consist of a EUR 2.0 billion Revolving Credit Facility maturing 2028 and a EUR 1.0 billion facility maturing in November 2027. As per 30 September 2026, available liquid assets, including the credit facilities amounted to 53.1% of net sales. Vattenfall’s policy is to maintain liquidity sources to cover the higher of 10% of the Group’s annual turnover, or 45-days’ stressed liquidity needs. Net debt decreased by SEK 23.1 billion to net cash of SEK 11.4 billion as per 30 September 2026 compared to net debt of SEK 11.7 billion as per 31 December 2025. Adjusted net debt amounted to SEK 64.6 billion, a decrease of SEK 8.8 billion compared to 31 December 2025. The decrease is mainly explained by positive cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital (SEK 32.4 billion) partly offset by negative cash flow from investments excluding short-term investments (SEK 23.0 billion). Vattenfall has hybrid bonds of SEK 21.5 billion outstanding. One of the hybrid bonds, amounting to EUR 1 billion (SEK 11.3 billion), has its first call date on 19 March 2027. Vattenfall intends to redeem the hybrid bond at its first call date using cash on balance sheet, after which SEK 10.1 billion of hybrid capital will remain outstanding. The planned reduction in hybrid capital is a result of Vattenfall’s continued balance sheet strengthening. While reducing the amount outstanding, Vattenfall continues to consider hybrid capital a permanent part of its capital structure. NET DEBT ADJUSTED NET DEBT

10 VATTENFALL INTERIM REPORT JANUARY -SEPTEMBER 2026 Customers & Solutions The Customers & Solutions Business Area is responsible for Vattenfall’s customer relations, heat plants and gas-fired condensing plants as well as sales of electricity, gas, heat and energy services. Strengthened offering within electric vehicle charging • Expansion of Vattenfall’s public charging network for electric vehicles in Sweden through acquisition of Nima Energy’s ultra-fast charging business • Launch of the new solution Seamless Charging which simplifies charging of electric vehicles Q1-Q3: Net sales decreased by 3%, compared with the same period in 2025. Underlying operating profit increased by 38%, primarily attributable to the customer business in Germany due to timing effects related to the higher gas grid costs imposed in 2025. In addition, a positive price effect in the Dutch customer business as well as a higher utilisation rate and increased income from green certificates within e-mobility contributed. The comparison was negatively affected by the divestments of the sales business in France and the power plants in the IJmond region in the Netherlands. Despite the divestment of the sales business in France, the customer base increased by 1% compared to the end of 2025, to 12 million contracts. This was mainly driven by growth of the customer base in Germany. Electricity sales decreased by 21% largely driven by the divestment of the sales business in France. Sales of gas increased by 3% mainly driven by higher volumes to business customers in the Netherlands and growth of the customer base in Germany. Q3: Net sales decreased by 5% compared with the same quarter last year. Underlying operating profit decreased by 35% mainly driven by higher wholesale prices in Germany and divestment of the power plants in the IJmond region in the Netherlands. Electricity sales decreased by 28% mainly due to the divestment of the sales business in France. Sales of gas decreased by 5% mainly driven by the divestment of the sales business in France as well as a lower number of gas customers in the Netherlands. Vattenfall has strengthened its position in the Swedish market for public charging for electric vehicles through the acquisition of Nima Energy’s ultra-fast charging business. The agreement, which was signed in July, adds 178 ultra-fast charging points currently in operation and additionally 254 planned charging points. The deal expands Vattenfall’s footprint in key growth markets such as Stockholm and Malmö while supporting its ambition to build a leading European charging network. Seamless Charging, a new solution launched in the third quarter, enables electric vehicle drivers to start and stop charging automatically without using charging cards or apps. The service has already been tested by more than 700 drivers in the Netherlands, Sweden and Germany and the solution will now be rolled out stepwise to more customers.

11 VATTENFALL INTERIM REPORT JANUARY -SEPTEMBER 2026 Power Generation Power Generation comprises the Generation and Markets Business Areas. The segment includes Vattenfall’s hydro and nuclear power operations as well as optimisation and trading operations including certain large business customers. The result from hedging of the Group’s net exposure in electricity and fuel is reported in this segment. Lower earnings following nuclear outages • Outages at Ringhals 3 and Ringhals 4 nuclear reactors • New long-term agreements for large-scale battery optimisation in Germany and the Netherlands • Marketing of balancing power from an offshore wind farm in Germany supports grid stability Q1-Q3: Net sales decreased by 15% compared with the same period 2025. Underlying operating profit decreased by 12%, mainly due to a lower result from Nordic hedges. This was offset by a positive effect from higher electricity prices affecting hydro power generation and nuclear power generation. In addition, there was a higher contribution from trading. This was partly offset by lower volumes primarily from nuclear power and lower revenues from ancillary services. Q3: Net sales decreased by 6% compared with the same quarter last year. Underlying operating profit decreased by 93%, mainly due to a lower result from Nordic hedges compared with the same period last year as well as lower volumes from hydro power and nuclear power due to outages at Ringhals. This was partly offset by the positive impact of higher electricity prices on Nordic nuclear and hydro power generation. The outage at Ringhals 3 was extended until 18 November because of prolonged maintenance. Ringhals 4 entered its outage earlier than planned, on 19 August and the outage is currently planned to continue until 20 November. Vattenfall has expanded its third-party large-scale battery storage optimisation portfolio through a series of long-term agreements in the Netherlands and Germany. New partnerships include optimisation contracts for Return's 200 MW/800 MWh Sirius battery project and Vopak's 100 MW/400 MWh Beluga project in the Netherlands, as well as an optimisation agreement for a 285 MW battery portfolio consisting of four facilities in Germany. These agreements strengthen Vattenfall's flexibility offering and support both grid stability and the integration of renewable electricity into the energy system. Vattenfall has started marketing balancing power from an offshore wind farm in Germany, making 200 MW of balancing capacity from the 416 MW Veja Mate offshore wind farm available to support grid stability. This marks an important milestone, demonstrating how renewable energy assets can provide not only fossil-free electricity but also critical system services, thereby supporting the transition to a more resilient and flexible energy system.

12 VATTENFALL INTERIM REPORT JANUARY -SEPTEMBER 2026 Wind The Wind Business Area is responsible for development, construction and operation of Vattenfall’s wind farms as well as solar power parks and batteries. Advancing renewable energy and flexibility • Vattenfall won the tenders of the Hesselø (0.8 GW) and North Sea I Mid (1 GW) offshore wind projects in Denmark • Final investment decision for the Brunsbüttel battery project in Germany with output of 254 MW and storage capacity of 1,070 MWh • Offshore construction started of the Nordlicht I wind farm (1 GW) in the German North Sea Q1-Q3: Net sales increased by 28% compared with the same period in 2025. The underlying operating profit increased by 122% driven by higher electricity prices and higher volumes, partly offset by higher operating and maintenance costs. Electricity generation increased by 15% mainly due to improved wind conditions and higher availability for offshore wind power. Onshore wind production increased driven by new wind farms in Sweden. Q3: Net sales increased by 28% compared with the same quarter last year. The underlying operating profit increased by 320% driven by higher electricity prices. Electricity generation increased by 4% due to slightly higher volumes from offshore wind power and due to new commissioned onshore wind farms. In August, Vattenfall won the tenders for the Danish offshore wind projects Hesselø and North Sea I Mid. With a combined minimum capacity of 1.8 GW, the projects strengthen Vattenfall's growth pipeline and position in a key offshore wind market. The Hesselø wind farm will be located in the Kattegat Sea and have a minimum installed capacity of 0.8 GW, while North Sea I Mid will be located in the North Sea and have a minimum installed capacity of 1.0 GW. Commissioning of the wind farms is expected in 2032. In September, the final investment decision was taken on Vattenfall’s largest battery project to date. The Brunsbüttel storage facility in Germany will have an output of 254 MW and a storage capacity of around 1,070 MWh. Expected online by end- 2028, the project will nearly double Vattenfall's battery portfolio and support grid stability and integration of renewable electricity into the energy system. In July, construction started of Germany's largest offshore wind project, with the first monopile installed for Nordlicht I. The 1.6 GW Nordlicht cluster is expected to generate around 6 TWh of fossil-free electricity annually from 2028, supporting Europe's energy transition, competitiveness and energy security. In Germany, Vattenfall has also acquired a 43 MW onshore wind project from ABO energy. The Dittelsheim/Heßloch wind farm will be located next to Vattenfall’s Mettenheim wind farm (24 MW), currently in development, and the two projects will share grid connection.

13 VATTENFALL INTERIM REPORT JANUARY -SEPTEMBER 2026 Distribution The Distribution Business Area consists of Vattenfall’s regulated electricity distribution operations as well as Vattenfall’s service operations business. Investments to strengthen and extend the electricity grid • Permit in place for a new power line section to the Svartön industrial area in Luleå, Sweden, which enables further industry decarbonisation • Plan published for grid development projects over the next ten years to meet growing capacity needs • Progress in grid reinforcement projects in West Sweden Q1-Q3: Net sales increased by 5% compared with the same period 2025. Underlying operating profit increased by 42%, primarily driven by higher revenue as a result of tariff adjustments in the local grid. Q3: Net sales were in line with the third quarter 2025. Underlying operating profit decreased by 22%, primarily driven by higher costs for the transmission grid, lower revenues from the regional grid due to changes in the tariff profile, and increased depreciation. These effects were partly offset by higher revenue as a result of tariff adjustments for the local grid. In September, Vattenfall Eldistribution received the final permit required for the planned regional grid reinforcements in Luleå, Sweden. The permit covers a new power line route between Hällmyran and the Svartön industrial area. Permits had previously been granted for the regional grid lines between Hällmyran and Hertsöfältet. As a result, all permits are now in place for the expansion project which, together with the new substation in Hällmyran, will create the conditions necessary for industrial electrification and SSAB’s transition to fossil-free steel production. Construction is planned to start in 2027, and the transmission lines are expected to be in operation in early 2029. Vattenfall Eldistribution is making large investments in the renewal, strengthening and extension of the electricity grid and this is reflected in the Grid Development Plan for 2027–2036. The plan outlines how the electricity grid needs to develop to meet growing capacity needs and includes more than 450 grid capacity enhancement projects, alongside the continued renewal of existing grid infrastructure. In September, a public consultation period for the plan started, and Vattenfall Eldistribution’s final plan will be put forward to the Energy Market Inspectorate by year-end. In West Sweden, several projects to increase electricity grid capacity were completed during the quarter. The projects cover grid reinforcements between Stenungsund, Trollhättan and Lilla Edet, and enable continued electrification and new grid connections in the area.

24 VATTENFALL INTERIM REPORT JANUARY -SEPTEMBER 2026 NOTE 1 | Accounting policies, risks and uncertainties Accounting policies This interim report for the Group has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”, and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The accounting policies and calculation methods applied in this interim report are the same as those described in Vattenfall’s Annual and Sustainability Report 2025. No amended accounting standards or interpretations effective from 1 January 2026 have had a material impact on the Vattenfall Group’s financial statements. IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements is a new standard that is effective from 1 January 2027. The standard replaces IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements and introduces changes to the structure of the income statement, including defined subtotals, as well as new disclosure requirements for management-defined performance measures. Vattenfall is in the final stages of assessing the impact of the new standard, including identifying items that might require reclassification and remapping the income statement to the new structure. Management-defined performance measures are currently being finalised, and related reconciliations are being developed. Vattenfall will apply IFRS 18 from 1 January 2027. Risks and uncertainties For a description of risks, uncertainties and risk management, refer to Vattenfall’s Annual and Sustainability Report 2025, pages 44-56. Apart from the below and the information provided under “Business highlights” in this report and under “Business highlights” in previously published interim reports in 2026, no material changes have occurred since the publication of the Annual and Sustainability Report 2025. The geopolitical situation deteriorated during the first three quarters of 2026, partly as a result of the conflict in the Middle East. This development has increased uncertainty in the global energy and commodity markets, contributed to higher interest rates, and disrupted international trade and transportation flows. Vattenfall is closely monitoring developments and continuously assessing any potential impacts on the Group’s operations. Changes regarding key ratios Changes have been made to the following key ratios since Vattenfall’s Annual and Sustainability Report 2025: • FFO (Funds from operations) • Adjusted FFO • FFO/adjusted net debt • Adjusted FFO/adjusted net debt For further information regarding changes, see Definitions of key ratios. Other Related party-transactions Significant related-party transactions are described in Note 45 to the consolidated accounts in Vattenfall’s Annual and Sustainability Report 2025, no material changes have occurred since the publication. At the end of June, Vattenfall entered into an agreement with the Swedish State to divest 60% of the shares in Videberg Kraft AB. The transaction is expected to be completed during 2027. Upon completion of the transaction, Vattenfalls ownership interest in Videberg Kraft AB will decrease from 80% to 20%. As Videberg Kraft AB is already accounted for as a joint venture under the equity method, the transaction is not expected to affect the consolidation method. Gotlands Energi In April, Vattenfall entered into an agreement with Region Gotland to acquire the remaining 25% of the shares in Gotlands Energi AB for a purchase price of SEK 533 million. The decision by the Regional Council Assembly to approve the sale has been appealed, and the transaction will be completed once the decision has become legally binding.

25 VATTENFALL INTERIM REPORT JANUARY -SEPTEMBER 2026 NOTE 3 | Financial instruments Accounting principles For accounting policies applied, refer to Note 30, Financial instruments, in Vattenfall’s Annual and Sustainability Report 2025. Difference between carrying amount and fair value The carrying amounts of financial assets measured at amortised cost do not differ significantly from their fair values. The difference between carrying amounts and fair values for financial liabilities measured at amortised cost amounts to SEK 976 million (31 December 2025: 1 228). Fair value hierarchy level 3 Derivative liabilities within level 3 consist of an option to enter into a power purchase agreement (PPA) at a fixed price that Vattenfall granted to BASF as part of the consideration for the shares in Nordlicht. Due to the long duration of the PPA, power forward rates are not observable for the duration of the contract. As the German power price is only observable for up to five years, Vattenfall has used a fundamental long- term market outlook for forward rates based on historical forward curves which has been extrapolated to estimate volatility. FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY AS PER 30 SEPTEMBER 2026 Amounts in SEK million Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Share in the Swedish Nuclear Waste Fund1 — 59 839 — 59 839 Derivative assets — 37 729 — 37 729 Short-term investments, cash equivalents and other shares and participations 41 615 10 458 — 52 073 Total assets 41 615 108 026 — 149 641 Liabilities Derivative liabilities — 37 627 912 38 539 Other financial liabilities — — 171 171 Total liabilities — 37 627 1 083 38 710 FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY AS PER 31 DECEMBER 2025 Amounts in SEK million Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Share in the Swedish Nuclear Waste Fund1 — 58 201 — 58 201 Derivative assets — 9 857 — 9 857 Short-term investments, cash equivalents and other shares and participations 36 691 4 314 — 41 005 Total assets 36 691 72 372 — 109 063 Liabilities Derivative liabilities — 13 492 1 009 14 501 Other financial liabilities — — 163 163 Total liabilities — 13 492 1 172 14 664 1) As of the second quarter of 2026, Vattenfall classifies its share in the Swedish Nuclear Waste Fund as Level 2 within the fai r value hierarchy, compared with Level 1 previously. The reclassification has not resulted in any change to the valuation methodology.

27 VATTENFALL INTERIM REPORT JANUARY -SEPTEMBER 2026 NOTE 5 | Acquired and divested operations Acquired operations Vattenfall did not make any material acquisitions during the period. Divested operations Sales business in France On 31 March 2026, Vattenfall completed the divestment of its French electricity and gas sales business, the capital gain amounted to SEK 870 million. Västerbergslagens Energi On 15 June 2026, Vattenfall completed the divestment of its majority stake of 51% in Västerbergslagens Energi AB to the minority shareholders, the municipalities of Ludvika and Fagersta. The consideration amounted to SEK 1,436 million, and the capital gain amounted to SEK 1,057 million. In connection with the divestment, Vattenfall acquired the remaining minority interests (49%) in Västerbergslagens Elförsäljning AB which had a minor impact on equity. No other major operations have been divested during the period. Divested assets Power plants in the Netherlands On 1 January 2026, Vattenfall completed the divestment of its power plants in the IJmond-region in the Netherlands. The divestment includes two power plants and one combined heat and power plant. The capital gain amounted to SEK 542 million. Assets held for sale Some assets related to the Customers & Solutions operating segment continue to be classified as assets held for sale, as it is highly probable that these assets will be recovered principally through a divestment rather than through continued use. The assets are available for immediate sale in their present condition. The divestment is expected to be finalised during 2026. The sales business in France and the power plants in the Netherlands that were divested during the first quarter of 2026 were classified as assets held for sale as at 31 December 2025. NOTE 6 | Impairment losses and reversed impairment losses Accounting policy Assessments are made on a regular basis throughout the year for any indication that an asset may have decreased in value. If any such indication is identified, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated and an impairment test is performed. The principles for impairment test are described in Note 27, Impairment losses and reversed impairment losses, in Vattenfall’s Annual and Sustainability Report 2025. Impairment losses Impairment losses amounting to SEK 607 million (640) were recognised during the first three quarters of 2026. The impairments primarily relate to assets within the Wind operating segment. No previously recognised impairment losses were reversed through the income statement during the period. NOTE 7 | Events after the balance sheet date No events have occurred after the balance sheet date that are expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

28 VATTENFALL INTERIM REPORT JANUARY -SEPTEMBER 2026 The Parent Company Vattenfall AB Accounting policies This interim report for the parent company has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities. The accounting policies applied in this interim report are the same as those described in Vattenfall's Annual and Sustainability Report 2025. Period in brief January – September 2026 • Net sales amounted to SEK 37,500 million (34,454). The higher net sales are mainly explained by the development in electricity prices. • Costs of purchases amounted to SEK -29,325 million (-24,819). The higher cost of purchase is explained by higher prices on electricity and negative results from hedging. • Other operating expenses amounted to SEK -3,903 million (-49). The increase was attributable to the transfer of the Swedish heat operations to the subsidiary Vattenfall Värme AB during the second quarter. The transfer was carried out at tax residual values. In connection with the transaction, untaxed reserves were dissolved, resulting in no net impact on profit for the period. • Result from participations in subsidiaries amounted to SEK 11,167 million (6,330) mainly relating to dividends from subsidiaries in Germany and the Netherlands. • The financial net amounted to SEK -2,301 million (1,835). The decrease is primarily explained by a weaker SEK against EUR and GBP compared to the same period last year. • Profit for the period is SEK 11,169 million (9,622). • The balance sheet total amounts to SEK 336,293 million (325,453). • Dividend paid to the owner of SEK 8,000 million (7,000). • Cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments amounted to SEK 69,547 million (64,502). Other Significant related-party transactions are disclosed in Note 32, Related party disclosures, in Vattenfall’s Annual and Sustainability Report 2025. No material changes have occurred since the publication. At the end of June, Vattenfall entered into an agreement with the Swedish State to divest 60% of the shares in Videberg Kraft AB. The transaction is expected to be completed during 2027. Upon completion of the transaction, Vattenfalls ownership interest in Videberg Kraft AB will decrease from 80% to 20%. As Videberg Kraft AB is already accounted for as a joint venture under the equity method, the transaction is not expected to affect the consolidation method.

31 VATTENFALL INTERIM REPORT JANUARY -SEPTEMBER 2026 Definitions of key ratios In order to ensure a fair presentation of the Group’s operations, Vattenfall uses a number of Alternative Performance Measures (APM) that are not defined in IFRS or in the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The APMs that Vattenfall uses are described below. The APMs used are unchanged compared with prior periods except for the following measures that have changed since Vattenfall’s Annual and Sustainability report 2025: • FFO (Funds from operations) • Adjusted FFO • FFO/adjusted net debt • Adjusted FFO/adjusted net debt For further information on the changes refer to each measure below. Operating profit (EBIT, Earnings Before Interest and Tax): The difference between the operating income and the operating expenses, including share of profit from associated companies and joint ventures. Refer to Consolidated income statement. Operating profit before depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses (EBITDA, Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation): Refer to Consolidated income statement. Items affecting comparability (IAC): Capital gains and capital losses from sale of shares and other non-current assets, impairment losses and reversed impairment losses from assets in operation or under construction and other material items that are of an infrequent nature. Also included here are changes in the fair value of energy derivatives, which do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in fair values of energy derivatives as well as inventory revaluation for proprietary trading activities are recognized in the underlying operating profit to reflect the overall trading performance. Refer to Note 4, Items affecting comparability for a reconciliation. Underlying operating profit (Underlying EBIT): Operating profit excluding items affecting comparability. The measure enables improved comparability between periods by excluding items affecting comparability. Refer below for reconciliation. Underlying operating profit before depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses (Underlying EBITDA): Operating profit excluding items affecting comparability, depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses. This measure enables a more fair comparison between periods by excluding items affecting comparability and items not affecting cash flow such as depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses. Refer below for reconciliation. Adjusted profit for the period: Profit for the period, attributable to owner of the parent company excluding fair value changes and return from the Swedish Nuclear Waste Fund. Vattenfall's dividend policy is based on this measure. Interest-bearing liabilities: Refer to supplementary information in connection with the Consolidated balance sheet for a reconciliation. Net debt: Refer to supplementary information in connection with the Consolidated balance sheet and the Consolidated statement of cash flow for reconciliations. Adjusted net debt: Refer to supplementary information in connection with the Consolidated balance sheet for reconciliation. Capital employed: Total assets less financial assets, non interest- bearing liabilities and certain other interest-bearing provisions which are not included in adjusted net debt. Refer to supplementary information in connection with the Consolidated balance sheet for reconciliation. Return on capital employed (ROCE): Operating profit divided by average capital employed. Measures profitability without adjustments for items affecting comparability. Refer below for reconciliation. Return on capital employed excluding items affecting comparability (ROCE excl IAC): Underlying operating profit divided by average capital employed. Financial target that measures profitability. This measure excludes items affecting comparability to better reflect the underlying operations. Refer below for reconciliation. Return on equity: Profit for the period attributable to owner of the parent company divided by average equity attributable to owners of the parent company, excluding the hedge reserve. The key ratio measures profitability by showing how much profit is generated in relation to its equity. The key ratio is presented because it is a common key ratio for measuring profitability. Net debt/EBITDA and adjusted net debt/EBITDA: Net debt/ adjusted net debt divided by operating profit before depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses (EBITDA). The key ratio measures leverage and indicates the number of years required to repay net debt, given constant net debt and EBITDA. The key ratio is used by credit rating agencies in their assessment of Vattenfall’s credit rating. FFO (Funds from operations): The previously reported key ratio FFO has been removed, and the subtotal previously referred to as FFO in the Consolidated statement of cash flows is now presented as cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital. Adjusted FFO is, as from the first quarter of 2026, referred to as FFO. The key ratio is part of the financial target FFO/adjusted net debt. FFO is defined as cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital excluding dividend and contribution attributable to non-controlling interests. These funds are excluded as they are not available for repayment of the Group’s debt. As from the first quarter of 2026, the definition of FFO has been updated to exclude net payments to/from the Swedish Nuclear Waste Fund and payments for provisions affecting adjusted net debt, from FFO. The revised definition is more closely aligned with the definition used by credit rating agencies. The key ratio has been restated retrospectively. For a reconciliation, refer to supplementary information in connection with the Consolidated statement of cash flows. Adjusted FFO: Key ratio which, as from the first quarter of 2026, is referred to as FFO. See the definition above for further information. FFO/adjusted net debt: The previously reported key ratio FFO/adjusted net debt has been removed and replaced by adjusted FFO/adjusted net debt as the financial target for the capital structure. As from the first quarter of 2026, adjusted FFO/adjusted net debt is referred to as FFO/adjusted net debt. The key ratio measures the Group’s ability to generate operating cash flow in relation to its debt. As from the first quarter of 2026, the definition of FFO has been updated; refer above for further information. The key ratio has been restated retrospectively. For information on how the adjustment has affected the outcome, see Quarterly information, Group. Refer below for reconciliation. Adjusted FFO/adjusted net debt: Financial target for capital structure which, as from the first quarter of 2026, is referred to as FFO/adjusted net debt. See definition above for further information. Free cash flow: Cash flow from operating activities less maintenance investments. Refer to Supplementary information in connection to Consolidated statement of cash flow, for a reconciliation. Cash flow interest cover (previously FFO interest cover): Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital and financial expenses excluding the unwinding of discount on provisions, divided by financial expenses excluding the unwinding of discount on provisions. This key ratio measures a company’s ability to meet its interest obligations using cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital. The key ratio is used by credit rating agencies in their assessment of Vattenfall’s credit rating.
