## Third quarter report 2025
**Strategic highlights – operational excellence and enhanced financial flexibility** 

● Strong commercial momentum with significant customer agreements including in India, Japan and the UK.

● Operational excellence and cost efficiency actions driving gross margins to strong sustainable levels.

● 5G Open RAN-ready portfolio breadth and technology leadership position reaffirmed
by Gartner and Omdia.

**Financial highlights – further profitability growth** 

● Organic sales declined by -2%, with growth in three out of four market areas.
Reported sales were SEK 56.2 (61.8) b., with an FX impact of SEK -4.2 b.

● Adjusted<sup>1</sup> gross income decreased to SEK 27.0 (28.6) b. as currency
headwinds offset strong operational execution. Reported gross income was SEK 26.8 (28.2) b.

● Adjusted<sup>1</sup> gross margin was 48.1% (46.3%) driven by improvements in
Networks and Cloud Software and Services. Reported gross margin was 47.6% (45.6%).

● Adjusted<sup>1</sup> EBITA was SEK 15.8 (7.8) b. with a 28.1% (12.6%) margin,
including a SEK 7.6 b. capital gain benefit from the divestment of iconectiv. Reported EBITA was SEK 15.5 (6.2) b. with a 27.6% (10.0%) margin.

● Net income was SEK 11.3 (3.9) b. including a benefit from the capital gain. EPS diluted was SEK 3.33 (1.14).

● Free cash flow before M&A was SEK 6.6 (12.9) b. Net cash increased to SEK 51.9 b.

*Börje Ekholm, President and CEO, said: "In Q3, we established margins at a new long-term level following strong operational execution over the past few years. Cloud Software and Services sales grew 9%\*, driven by strong growth in core networks.* 

*Our solid progress on technology initiatives continues. Gartner and Omdia reconfirmed our 5G solutions are industry leading. Our Open RAN-ready portfolio includes an AI native, future proof software architecture which is hardware agnostic. The portfolio integrates with third-party radios and supports Ericsson silicon and third-party CPU/GPUs.* 

*Looking ahead, we expect Enterprise organic sales to stabilize in Q4 and the RAN market to remain broadly stable. Solid recurring cash flow and the iconectiv sale contributed to a strong Q3 cash position, offering scope for increased shareholder distributions. The Board's recommendation on the scale and mechanism for the distribution will be included in the Q4 report for decision at the AGM."*

<sup>1</sup> Non-IFRS financial measures are reconciled at the end of this report to the most directly reconcilable line items in the financial statements.

**Net sales** 

Reported sales decreased by -9% YoY to SEK 56.2 (61.8) b., including a SEK -4.2 b. currency impact. Networks sales declined by -11% to SEK 35.4 b. Cloud Software and Services sales increased by 3% to SEK 15.3 b. Enterprise sales declined by -20% to SEK 5.1 b., impacted by the divestment of iconectiv in the quarter. Sales in segment Other were SEK 0.4 b.

Organic sales declined by -2%\* YoY. Networks sales declined by -5%\* as sales growth in market area Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in North East Asia, was offset by sales declines in the other market areas. Sales in India were weak, as customer network investments remained low. Cloud Software and Services sales grew by 9%\* supported by growth in three of the four market areas. Sales in segment Enterprise declined by -7%\*, with lower sales in Global Communications Platform, reflecting the impact of the 2024 decision to reduce activities in some countries, partly offset by slightly higher organic sales in Enterprise Wireless Solutions.

IPR licensing revenues decreased to SEK 3.1 (3.5) b. as Q3 2024 benefited from retroactive revenue for unlicensed periods. 82% of IPR licensing revenues are reported in segment Networks, with the remainder in Cloud Software and Services. IPR licensing revenue growth opportunities remain, including from increased penetration of the smartphone market and from new applications. Optimizing the terms and value of new agreements and renewals will remain a priority.

**Gross income and margin** 

Gross margin increased to 47.6% (45.6%). Networks gross margin increased, reflecting prior periods' cost-reduction actions and operational efficiency. Gross margin in Cloud Software and Services increased as a result of prior periods' cost-reduction

actions and improved delivery performance. The margin declined in Enterprise as the impact of the divestment of iconectiv in the quarter more than offset margin improvements in Global Communications Platform and Enterprise Wireless Solutions.

Gross income decreased to SEK 26.8 (28.2) b., as improvements in gross margin were offset by negative currency movements and lower sales.

Adjusted gross income decreased to SEK 27.0 (28.6) b., with a margin of 48.1% (46.3%), impacted by a currency effect of SEK -2.0 b.

**Research and development (R&D) expenses** 

R&D expenses decreased to SEK -11.5 (-13.1) b., including a currency benefit of SEK 0.4 b. Increased investments in R&D for technology leadership were offset by savings from prior periods' cost-reduction actions.

**Selling and administrative (SG&A) expenses** 

SG&A expenses were SEK -7.9 (-9.4) b., including a currency benefit of SEK 0.5 b. SG&A expenses declined in all segments as a result of prior periods' cost-reduction actions.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**Other operating income and expenses**

**Restructuring charges** 

Restructuring charges were SEK -0.3 (-1.6) b., with SEK -0.3 (-0.4) b. included in gross income and SEK 0.0 (-1.1) b. in operating expenses.

**EBITA** 

EBITA increased to SEK 15.5 (6.2) b. including a SEK 7.6 b. capital gain from the divestment of iconectiv. Lower operating expenses, benefiting from prior periods' cost-reduction actions, were partly offset by lower gross income. The EBITA margin was 27.6% (10.0%), including a 13.5 percentage point benefit from the iconectiv gain.

Adjusted EBITA increased to SEK 15.8 (7.8) b., including the capital gain from the divestment of iconectiv and a currency impact of SEK -1.2 b. The adjusted EBITA margin was 28.1% (12.6%), including a 13.5 percentage point benefit from the iconectiv gain.

**EBIT** 

EBIT increased to SEK 15.2 (5.8) b. with a margin of 26.9% (9.3%). Amortization impacted EBIT by SEK -0.4 (-0.4) b.

Adjusted EBIT increased to SEK 15.5 (7.3) b. with a margin of 27.5% (11.9%).

**Financial income and expenses, net** 

Financial income and expenses were SEK -0.2 (-0.5) b. Financial net improved, primarily as a result of a higher net cash position and lower interest rates on borrowings.

**Income tax** 

Taxes were SEK -3.6 (-1.4) b. The estimated tax rate for the year is 26%.

**Net income** 

Net income was SEK 11.3 (3.9) b. EBIT and financial net increased, partly offset by higher taxes.

Diluted EPS was SEK 3.33 (1.14), including a SEK 1.72 per share benefit from the gain related to the divestment of iconectiv.

**Employees** 

The number of employees on September 30, 2025, was 89,898 compared with 91,937 on June 30, 2025. On September 30, 2024, the number of employees was 95,984.

Organic sales were stable\*. Cloud Software and Services sales increased by 2%\*, while Networks sales were stable\* and Enterprise sales declined by -7%\*.

Sales increased in market area Americas, benefiting from growth in North America, while sales in Latin America declined. Sales declined in the other market areas, with the largest reduction in market area South East Asia, Oceania and India, primarily due to reduced investment levels in India. Sales were supported by IPR licensing revenues of SEK 11.2 (10.5) b.

Gross income increased to SEK 80.0 (76.7) b. with a gross margin of 47.8% (43.8%). The improved gross margin is a result of cost- reduction actions, operational efficiency and increased IPR licensing revenues.

Adjusted gross income increased to SEK 80.7 (77.7) b. including a currency impact of SEK -3.6 b. Adjusted gross margin increased to 48.2% (44.4%).

EBITA increased to SEK 28.9 (13.5) b. including a SEK 7.6 b. capital gain from the divestment of iconectiv. The increase in EBITA was also supported by higher gross income and lower operating expenses, partly offset by negative currency impacts. The EBITA margin was 17.3% (7.7%), including a 4.5 percentage point benefit from the iconectiv gain.

Adjusted EBITA increased to SEK 30.2 (16.9) b., including the capital gain from the divestment of iconectiv and a currency impact of SEK -2.3 b. The adjusted EBITA margin was 18.0% (9.7%), including a 4.5 percentage point benefit from the iconectiv gain.

Non-IFRS financial measures are reconciled at the end of this report to the most directly reconcilable line items in the financial statements.

**Cash flow** 

Cash flow from operating activities was SEK 7.9 (14.4) b. Cash flow was driven by earnings, excluding the impact of the gain from the divestment of iconectiv. Net operating assets remained broadly stable.

Cash flow from operating activities decreased compared to the prior year period. EBITA increased YoY, excluding the impact of the gain from the divestment of iconectiv. However, Q3 2024 cash flow benefited from a significant reduction in operating working capital, reflecting the completion of large-scale roll-out projects and inventory reductions.

Cash flow from investing activities was SEK 3.2 (-0.3) b. as the proceeds from the divestment of iconectiv were largely offset by investments in interest-bearing securities.

Cash flow from financing activities was SEK -1.2 (-4.2) b. There were no material financing activities in Q3 2025.

**Financial position** 

Gross cash increased sequentially by SEK 15.1 b. to SEK 88.4 b. driven by the proceeds from the divestment of iconectiv and positive free cash flow before M&A.

There were no material funding activities in the quarter. As of September 30, 2025, total unutilized committed credit facilities amounted to SEK 23.5 b.

The average maturity of parent company borrowings was 3.0 years as of September 30, 2025, compared with 3.8 years as of September 30, 2024.

Net cash increased sequentially by SEK 15.8 b. to SEK 51.9 b.

Liabilities for post-employment benefits decreased to SEK 19.3 b. from SEK 24.9 b. in Q2 2025 reflecting a higher Swedish discount rate. The Swedish defined benefit obligation (DBO) was calculated using a discount rate based on the yields of Swedish government bonds. If the discount rate had been based on Swedish covered mortgage bonds, the liability for post-employment benefits would have been approximately SEK 10.4 b., which is SEK 8.9 b. lower than current DBO.

Net sales may show large variations between quarters, including currency changes.

**IPR licensing revenues** 

At the end of Q3 2025, recurring annual IPR licensing revenues were approximately SEK 13 b.

**Currency exposure** 

Rule of thumb: A 10% appreciation/depreciation in the USD vs. SEK would have a positive/negative impact of approximately 5% on net sales.

**Amortization of intangible assets** 

Amortization of intangible assets is expected to be around SEK -0.5 b. per quarter, of which approximately SEK -0.4 b. related to segment Enterprise.

**Restructuring charges** 

Restructuring charges for 2025 are expected to remain at elevated levels.

Segments

Increased uncertainty remains on the outlook, both in terms of potential for further tariff changes as well as in the broader macroeconomic environment.

**Networks** 

Sales growth in Q4 2025 is expected to be broadly similar to 3-year average seasonality.

Adjusted gross margin in Q4 2025 is expected to be in the range of 49% to 51%.

**Cloud Software and Services** 

Sales growth in Q4 2025 is expected to be broadly similar to 3-year average seasonality.

**Enterprise** 

In Q3 2025, the contribution to Enterprise results from divested operations was SEK 0.6 b. in net sales, SEK 0.4 b. in adjusted gross income, and SEK 8.1 b. in adjusted EBITA.

The financial impact of the 2024 decision to reduce Global Communications Platform activities in some countries largely concluded in Q3 2025. Enterprise organic sales are expected to stabilize YoY in Q4 2025.

Capital allocation

The Board remains focused on both maintaining a solid net cash position to support R&D investment through the cycle and returning excess capital to shareholders.

The Board communicated at the March 25, 2025, Annual General Meeting that they would be undertaking a review of the balance sheet structure during the year and will return with more information after this.

The Company currently has strong generation of recurring free cashflow and a strong net cash position, supported by the iconectiv divestment. This presents scope for increased shareholder distributions through higher dividends and/or a share buyback program.

The Board intends to revert with a final proposal for shareholder approval at the 2026 AGM.

## Other information
**Legal proceedings involving governmental authorities** 

In February 2022, Ericsson publicly disclosed that an internal investigation in 2019 included a review of the conduct of Ericsson employees, vendors and suppliers in Iraq during the period between 2011 to 2019. The investigators could not determine the ultimate recipients of any payments, nor identify that any Ericsson employee was directly involved in financing terrorist organizations. The Company's 2019 internal Iraq investigation did not conclude that Ericsson made or was responsible for any payments to any terrorist organization.

The Company continues to fully cooperate with the DOJ in its investigation into matters discussed in the 2019 internal Iraq investigation report and related topics concerning jurisdictions including Iraq, and the Company is providing additional documents and other information which continue to be requested by the DOJ. As additional information continues to be identified and evaluated in continued cooperation with the DOJ during its ongoing investigation, it is expected that there will not be any conclusive determinations on the outcome until the investigation is completed. The scope and duration of the investigation remains uncertain.

As part of its defense to a now settled patent infringement lawsuit filed by Ericsson in 2013 in the Delhi High Court against Indian handset company Micromax, Micromax filed a complaint against Ericsson with the Competition Commission of India. The Competition Commission of India decided to refer the case to the Director General's Office for an in-depth investigation. The Competition Commission of India opened similar investigations against Ericsson in January 2014 based on claims made by Intex Technologies (India) Limited and, in 2015, based on a now settled claim from iBall. Ericsson has challenged Competition Commission of India's jurisdiction in these cases before the Delhi High Court. On July 13, 2023, the Division Bench of the Delhi High Court found that in this instance the Competition Commission of India has no power to conduct the pending investigations against Ericsson. The Competition Commission of India appealed this order to the Supreme Court of India. On September 2, 2025, the Supreme Court dismissed the case concluding that the Competition Commission of India does not have jurisdiction to investigate Ericsson's patent licensing conduct.

In April 2019, Ericsson was informed by China's State Administration for Market Regulation Anti-monopoly Bureau (SAMR) that SAMR has initiated an investigation into Ericsson's patent licensing practices in China. Ericsson is cooperating with the investigation, which is still in a fact-finding phase. The next steps include continued fact-finding and meetings with SAMR in order to facilitate the authority's assessment and conclusions. In case of adverse findings, SAMR has the power to impose behavioral and financial remedies.

**Legal proceedings not involving governmental authorities** 

In August 2022, a civil lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia against Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson and Ericsson Inc. (collectively, the "Ericsson defendants"). The lawsuit was brought by US military service members, employees of US government contractors and other civilians who were killed or injured in terrorist attacks in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria from 2005 to 2021, as well as by their family members. The lawsuit asserts claims against the Ericsson defendants under the U.S. Anti-Terrorism Act alleging that the Ericsson defendants made payments that ultimately aided the terrorist organizations that committed, planned or authorized the attacks. In November 2022, the Ericsson defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On December 20, 2022, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, which added additional plaintiffs, including a plaintiff injured in Turkey, and also named Ericsson AB (collectively with the Ericsson defendants, the "Ericsson corporate defendants"), President and CEO Börje Ekholm and a former employee (who has not been served with process) as additional defendants and also asserted additional allegations and claims. In March 2023, the Ericsson corporate defendants and Mr. Ekholm filed motions to dismiss the amended complaint. Plaintiffs filed their oppositions to defendants' motions to dismiss the amended complaint in June 2023, and defendants filed reply briefs in support of their motions to dismiss in July 2023. All briefing has been submitted, and resolution of the matter is pending with the District Court. All defendants will continue to vigorously defend this matter.

In February 2024, a second civil lawsuit also alleging violations of the U.S. Anti-Terrorism Act was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The lawsuit was filed by the same law firm and involves substantially similar factual allegations and claims as those made in the Anti-Terrorism Act lawsuit originally filed in August 2022, and similarly names the same Ericsson corporate defendants, President and CEO Börje Ekholm and a former employee as defendants. The new lawsuit was brought by additional US military service members, employees of US government contractors and other civilians who were killed or injured in terrorist attacks in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Turkey, Niger, and France from 2005 to 2021, as well as by their family members. The District Court for the District of Columbia has stayed the proceedings in this matter pending its decision on the motions to dismiss in the earlier-filed suit. The defendants will vigorously defend this matter.

Beginning on August 4, 2023, a number of civil lawsuits have been filed against Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson in Solna District Court, Sweden. 93 claimants have filed suit, which are coordinated and financed by a UK-based litigation funder. The claimants consist of a group of non-Swedish funds and financial institutions that allegedly are or have been shareholders of the Company. Their damages claims are primarily based on alleged inadequate disclosure of the contents of the Company's 2019 internal Iraq investigation report. Ericsson filed its statement of defense on March 15, 2024. On February 14, 2025, the District Court ordered Ericsson to produce the 2019 internal Iraq investigation report to the claimants' external counsel. Ericsson appealed the decision and on August 15, 2025, the Court of Appeal overturned the District Court's decision. The claimants have appealed the decision to the Supreme Court. Proceedings on the merits of the case are stayed pending final resolution of the document production issue. Ericsson will continue to vigorously defend this matter.

## Auditors' Review Report
**Introduction** 

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ.) as of September 30, 2025, and the nine months period then ended. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

**Scope of review** 

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity.

A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed

in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.

**Conclusion** 

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.

## Accounting policies and Explanatory notes
(unaudited)

Note 1 – Accounting policies and Other changes

Accounting policies

**The Group** 

This condensed consolidated interim financial report for the reporting period ended September 30, 2025, has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". The term "IFRS Accounting Standards" used in this document refers to IFRS<sup>®</sup> Accounting standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as well as interpretations of these standards as issued by IASB's Standards Interpretation Committee (SIC) and IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the annual report for the year ended December 31, 2024, and should be read in conjunction with that annual report. Amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards that became effective during 2025 do not have a material impact on the result and financial position of the Company.

Changes applied from Q1 2025

**New market area structure implemented in Q1 2025** 

On February 25, 2025, it was announced that effective March 15, 2025, two new market areas are created – market area Americas and market area Europe, Middle East and Africa. This is done by merging market area Europe and Latin America, market area North America, and market area Middle East and Africa. From Q1 2025 the following market area structure is presented:

- Americas

- Europe, Middle East and Africa

- South East Asia, Oceania and India

- North East Asia

The financial reporting by market areas is reflecting the new structure and prior quarters have been restated accordingly.

**Updated definitions of Alternative performance measures (APMs)** 

Starting from Q1 2025 the Company has decided to update the definitions of the following APMs. The Company believes the updated definitions better reflect the underlying results of the Company's operations over time.

- Return on capital employed (ROCE)

- Capital turnover (CTO)

- Inventory turnover days (ITO)

- Days sales outstanding (DSO)

- Days payables outstanding (DPO)

- Operating working capital days

The APMs are now based on a rolling average rather than an average of the beginning and the end of the period. Prior periods have been updated accordingly. In addition, Operating working capital has been added as an APM. For more information, see the APM section in this report.

## Alternative performance measures (unaudited)
In this section, the Company presents its Alternative Performance Measures (APMs), which are not recognized measures of financial performance under IFRS. The presentation of APMs has limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for related financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.

APMs are presented to enhance an investor's evaluation of ongoing operating results, to aid in forecasting future periods and to facilitate meaningful comparison of results between periods.

Management uses these APMs to, among other things, evaluate ongoing operations in relation to historical results, for internal planning and forecasting purposes and in the calculation of certain performance-based compensation. APMs should not be viewed as substitutes for income statement or cash flow items computed in accordance with IFRS.

This section also includes a reconciliation of the APMs to the most directly reconcilable line items in the financial statements. For

more information about non-IFRS key operating measures, see Ericsson Annual Report 2024.

From Q1 2025, the definition of Return on capital employed (ROCE) and Capital turnover (CTO) have been updated and is based on a rolling average rather than an average of the beginning and the end of the period. Prior periods have been updated accordingly. Operating working capital has been added as an APM.

From Q1 2025, the definitions of Inventory turnover days (ITO), Days sales outstanding (DSO), Days payables outstanding (DPO) and Operating working capital days have been updated and can be found in the end of this report. Prior periods have been updated accordingly.

The Company believes the updated definitions better reflect the underlying results of the Company's operations over time.

**Sales growth adjusted for comparable units and currency** 

Sales growth adjusted for the impact of acquisitions and divestments as well as the effects of foreign currency fluctuations. Also named organic sales growth.

Additionally, Ericsson provides forward-looking targets for adjusted EBITA margin and Free cash flow before M&A as a percentage of net sales, which are non-IFRS financial measures. Ericsson has not provided quantitative reconciliation of these targets to the most directly comparable IFRS measures because certain information needed to reconcile these non-IFRS financial measures to the most comparable IFRS financial measures are dependent on specific items or impacts that are not yet determined, are subject to incarcerating and variability in timing and amount due to their nature, are outside of Ericsson's control or cannot be predicted, including items and impacts such as currency exchange rate changes, acquisitions and disposals, and charges such as impairments or acquisition related charges. Accordingly, reconciliation of these non-IFRS forward-looking financial measures are not available without unreasonable efforts. Such unavailable reconciling items could significantly impact our results of operations and financial condition.
