*Board proposal
OUTLOOK FOR 2026
In 2026, the demand for Aspocomp's products is expected to remain solid. In particular, demand in the defense industry and the semiconductor market is anticipated to remain good.
Aspocomp estimates that its net sales for 2026 will grow, and that its operating result for 2026 will improve compared to 2025. In 2025, net sales amounted to EUR 38.2 million, and the operating result was EUR 0.9 million.
CEO'S REVIEW
"Net sales for October-December increased to EUR 8.9 million, marking a 12% increase compared to the same period last year. However, the operating result for the quarter (EUR -0.4 million) was impacted by a single breakdown of plant machinery, which weakened production throughput in the last quarter. In addition, profitability was still burdened by low-margin orders that we had agreed in 2024 and which we will continue delivering to our customers until the second quarter of 2026.
Demand strengthened on all fronts despite challenges in production. Orders received increased by over 50% and the order book strengthened to EUR 21.1 million.
- Semiconductor industry: Remains strong (October-November net sales amounted to approximately EUR 3.5 million) driven by investments in AI applications.
- Security, Defense and Aerospace: Up by more than 80% year-on-year. This customer segment provides important stability for the company alongside the semiconductor industry.
- Automotive industry: Slight increase in production volumes toward the end of year, although the full-year volume remained unchanged.
Aspocomp made a significant operational turnaround in 2025. Efficiency measures initiated at the end of 2024 increased net sales to EUR 38.2 million (+38%). Although this fell slightly short of the Group's net sales record, our Oulu plant achieved its highest delivery volume ever. This was a key factor in the full-year operating result turning positive to EUR 0.9 million (EUR -4.0 million in 2024).
A significant geopolitical shift occurred in the operating environment. For the first time in the 2000s, demand for European PCB manufacturing has turned to growth. The importance of European self-sufficiency and security of supply has been highlighted, and we expect this trend to keep demand high in our key customer segments in the coming years. At the same time, market consolidation and the challenges faced by smaller players are reducing manufacturing capacity in Europe.
To respond to this historic turnaround, we have launched an investment program of over EUR 10 million at the Oulu plant. It is the backbone of growth, with which we will eliminate the risk of equipment failures, improve quality and significantly increase capacity. The new capacity is planned to be introduced in phases during 2027.
The implementation of the investment program requires a solid financial foundation. In the last quarter, we secured financing for the project with a loan and a directed share issue. We were also granted EUR 1.75 million in EU development assistance for the project in November, of which EUR 0.5 million was received in 2025. This investment support covers a significant part of the project costs. Mainly thanks to the share issue and positive earnings development, the company's equity ratio strengthened to 65.0 percent (54.0%) at the end of the year.
I would also like to thank our personnel for their excellent performance during the production challenges. Our record delivery volume is thanks to you, and it is good to continue our joint journey into 2026."
NET SALES AND EARNINGS
October-December 2025
October-December 2025 net sales amounted to EUR 8.9 (7.9) million. Net sales increased year-on-year by 12% and growth came mainly from the Security, Defense and Aerospace customer segment.
The Semiconductor Industry customer segment's October-December net sales decreased year-on-year by 23% to EUR 3.5 (4.5) million. Demand in the customer segment remained at a high level in the fourth quarter.
The Security, Defense and Aerospace customer segment's October-December net sales increased by 83% year-on-year and amounted to EUR 2.8 (1.5) million. Demand in the customer segment continued to grow in the fourth quarter.
The Automotive customer segment's October-December net sales increased by 34% year-on-year and amounted to EUR 1.5 (1.1) million. Due to the competitive situation in the automotive industry and weak demand from end customers, the customer segment's net sales remained low.
The Telecommunication customer segment's October-December net sales increased by 10% year-on-year and amounted to EUR 0.5 (0.4) million.
The Industrial Electronics customer segment's October-December net sales increased year-on-year by 77% to EUR 0.7 (0.4) million.
The five largest customers accounted for 59% (76%) of net sales. In geographical terms, 48% (70%) of net sales were generated in Europe and 52% (30%) on other continents. The change in the geographical distribution was caused by the relocation of existing customers' production sites.
The operating result for October-December 2025 amounted to EUR -0.4 (+0.1) million. October- December result was negatively affected by an equipment failure at the plant and the weaker margin of orders received in the spring of 2024.
Operating result was -4.7% (+1.0%) of net sales.
Net financial expenses amounted to EUR 0.1 (0.1) million. The result before taxes was EUR -0.5 (-0.0) million. Taxes for the financial year were EUR -0.1 (0.9) million. Earnings per share were EUR -0.04 (+0.12).
January-December 2025
January-December net sales amounted to EUR 38.2 (27.6) million, a year-on-year increase of 38%. The development of net sales was particularly affected by strong demand especially in the Semiconductor Industry customer segment and in the Security, Defense and Aerospace customer segment.
The Semiconductor Industry customer segment's net sales increased by 106% to EUR 17.5 (8.5) million. Demand in the customer segment remained at a high level in January-December.
The Security, Defense and Aerospace customer segment's net sales increased by 44% to EUR 9.3 (6.5) million. Demand in the customer segment continued to grow in January-December.
The Automotive customer segment's net sales decreased by 1% year-on-year and amounted to EUR 6.9 (7.0) million.
The Telecommunication customer segment's net sales decreased by 4% year-on-year and amounted to EUR 2.3 (2.4) million.
The Industrial Electronics customer segment's net sales decreased year-on-year by 34% to EUR 2.1 (3.3) million. The decrease in net sales in the customer segment was due to weak demand from end customers.
The five largest customers accounted for 67% (61%) of net sales. In geographical terms, 56% (76%) of net sales were generated in Europe and 44% (24%) on other continents. The change in geographical distribution was caused by the relocation of existing customers' production sites.
January-December operating result amounted to EUR +0.9 (-4.0) million. The operating result was improved by strong demand in the Semiconductor Industry customer segment and the Security, Defense and Aerospace customer segment. The improvement in operating result was also influenced by the high utilization rate of production capacity and improved profitability, especially in the early part of the year. Both the net sales and the operating result were negatively affected by the prolonged maintenance of a critical production process in April-June and the equipment failures in the second half of the year. The operating result was negatively affected by the weaker margin of orders in the previous year.
January-December operating result was +2.4% (-14.4%) of net sales.
Net financial expenses amounted to EUR 0.4 (0.4) million. The result before taxes was EUR 0.5 (-4.3) million. Taxes for the financial period were EUR -0.1 (0.9) million. Earnings per share were EUR +0.06 (-0.51).
The order book at the end of the review period was EUR 21.1 (19.9) million. Of the order book, EUR 20.5 million has been scheduled for delivery in 2026.

SHAREHOLDERS' NOMINATION BOARD
Aspocomp's Shareholders' Nomination Board consists of three members who represent the company's three largest shareholders, as determined annually on the basis of registered shareholdings on the first working day of September. In case a shareholder does not wish to exercise their appointment right, the right passes to the next largest shareholder who would otherwise have no appointment right.
On September 12, 2025, Aspocomp announced the composition of its Shareholders' Nomination Board. The following members were appointed to Aspocomp's Shareholders' Nomination Board: Mr. Ville Vuori, appointed by Etola Group and Erkki Etola, Mr. Kyösti Kakkonen, appointed by Joensuun Kauppa ja Kone Oy, and Mr. Mikko Montonen, Aspocomp's fourth largest shareholder. Kyösti Kakkonen served as the Chairman of the Shareholders' Nomination Board.
ASSESSMENT OF SHORT-TERM BUSINESS RISKS
Aspocomp's risk management aims to reduce risks by continuously acquiring information and assessing potential risks in the company's operations. The purpose of this is to ensure that the company achieves its goals and secures its operations. Risks are assessed based on their economic impact and probability and are classified into strategic, operational, financial and compliance risks.
Strategic risks
The geopolitical situation and the trade war have increased the risks related to customers' global supply chains. Weak economic development, inflation and unpredictable trade policies cause uncertainty in the operating environment and can affect customer demand and delay customers' investment decisions.
Aspocomp's customer base is concentrated, with more than half of its net sales coming from five customers. This can expose the company to significant demand fluctuations. In addition, variations in the product mix can have a significant impact on profitability.
Quality deviations in Aspocomp's products can lead to claims that may cause financial impacts, reputational damage or loss of customer relationships. If Aspocomp estimates that the outcome of such claims will have potential financial impacts, they will be considered in the accounting.
Operational risks
The most significant operational risks are related to equipment failures and other disruptions in Aspocomp's production. The investments launched in 2025 to increase the capacity of the Oulu plant are expected to improve its production quality and usability but may cause production outages during implementation. Aspocomp's operational capacity may also be impaired due to supplier production outages and delays in delivery times caused by increased demand.
Cyber risks and disruptions in information systems may affect production and thereby the company's ability to generate profits.
Financial risks
Adequacy of financing may become a challenge if the cash flow from operations is not positive or there are significant delays in the plant investment project. The company closely monitors financing forecasts and has prepared for cash fluctuations with credit facilities. Possible equipment failures and production disruptions may cause a temporary decline in profitability and thereby affect the fulfillment of the covenant terms.
Compliance risks
For example, violations of ethical guidelines, legislation or sanctions-related regulations may cause risks that can lead to corporate fines, legal costs and weaken the trust of the company's stakeholders.
Aspocomp's risks and risk management are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements on the company's website.
EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
No significant events after the end of the financial period to be reported.
STRATEGY
On November 3, 2025, Aspocomp released the company's strategy for the years 2026-2030. The updated strategy focuses on strengthening the company's current market position and growth, especially in the Security, Defense and Aerospace and Semiconductor customer segments due to increased demand.
Aspocomp's targets are to achieve more than EUR 100 million in net sales in the long term, an EBIT margin exceeding 10% in the midterm and to maintain strong profitability throughout the business cycle through growth. In addition, the company seeks to grow organically by investing in expanding the Oulu plant in Finland in 2026-2027 to increase throughput capacity by up to 50% and improve production quality as well as the availability of machines and equipment. The updated strategy aims to pursue strategic investments and mergers & acquisitions, while maintaining the equity ratio above 40%, and to increase trading activities by expanding its partner network outside China to support the Oulu plant.

The Shareholders' Nomination Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting that four members be elected to the Board of Directors. The Shareholders's Nomination Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the current members of the Board of Directors Ms. Jenni Enroth, Ms. Kaisa Kokkonen, Mr. Anssi Korhonen and Mr. Ville Vuori will be re-elected as members of the Board of Directors. The above-mentioned candidates have given their consent to the selection.
The Shareholders's Nomination Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the remuneration of the Board of Directors be increased and paid as follows: EUR 35,000 for the chairman of the Board of Directors, EUR 25,000 for the vice chairman, and EUR 20,000 for each of the other members in remuneration for their term of office.
The Shareholders's Nomination Board further proposes to the Annual General Meeting that no voluntary earning-related pension insurance contributions be paid for the remuneration of the Board of Directors. As a result, the proposed increase in remuneration will not generate additional costs for the company compared to the current level.
The Nomination Board further proposes that EUR 1,000 be paid as remuneration per meeting to the chairman and that the other members be paid EUR 500 per meeting of the Board and its committees. The Nomination Board also proposes that the members of the Board of Directors be reimbursed for reasonable travel costs.

| *Adjustments to previous financial periods | ||||||
| The effect of the correction of errors relating to previous financial periods has been recognised retrospectively in equity. The errors were related to the incorrect treatment of trading inventory in the balance sheet and the incorrect valuation of one inventory item. In addition, the effect of a change in the accounting principle for determining the net realizable value of inventories has been recognised in equity. The adjustments have been made retrospectively to the balance sheet for the comparison year, but the income statement for the comparison year has not been adjusted, because the management believes that the impact on the income statement for the comparison period is immaterial. The adjustments had an impact of EUR 97 thousand on the value of inventories as of 31 December 2024 and an impact of EUR -321 thousand on the value of trade receivables as of 31 December 2024. | ||||||

| The Alternative Performance Measures (APM) used by the Group | ||||
| Aspocomp presents in its financial reporting alternative performance measures, which describe businesses' financial performance and its development as well as investments and return on equity. In addition to accounting measures which are defined or specified in IFRS, alternative performance measures complement and explain presented information. Aspocomp presents in its financial reporting the following alternative performance measures: | ||||
| EBITDA | = | Earnings before interests, taxes, depreciations and amortizations | ||
| EBITDA indicates the result of operations before depreciations, financial items and income taxes. It is an important key figure, as it shows the profit margin on net sales after operating expenses are deducted. | ||||
| Operating result | = | Earnings before income taxes and financial income and expenses presented in the IFRS consolidated income statement. | ||
| The operating result indicates the financial profitability of operations and their development. | ||||
| Profit/loss before taxes | = | The result before income taxes presented in the IFRS consolidated statements. | ||
| Equity ratio, % | = | Equity | x 100 | |
| Total assets - advances received | ||||
| Gearing, % | = | Net interest-bearing liabilities | x 100 | |
| Total equity | ||||
| Gearing indicates the ratio of capital invested in the company by shareholders and interest-bearing debt to financiers. A high gearing ratio is a risk factor that may limit a company's growth opportunities and financial latitude. | ||||
| Gross investments | = | Acquisitions of long-term intangible and tangible assets (gross amount). | ||
| Order book | = | Undelivered customer orders at the end of the financial period. | ||
| Cash flow from operating activities | = | Profit for the period + non-cash transactions +- other adjustments +- change in working capital + received interest income - paid interest expenses - paid taxes | ||
| CONTINGENT LIABILITIES | ||
| 1 000 € | 12/2025 | 12/2024 |
