   Wolftank Group stabilizes operations in 2025 and lays the groundwork for
   turnaround in 2026

     • 2025 sales at EUR 122.8 million, in line with the previous year
     • EBITDA at EUR 6.2 million, supported by a positive valuation effect
     • Operational improvement in H2 2025 confirms effectiveness of
       profitability measures
     • Net debt reduced to EUR 18.9 million (2024: EUR 24.1 million) –
       balance sheet strengthened
     • Order backlog of EUR 175 million and GreenLead 2030 strategy provide
       solid foundation

   Wolftank Group AG (ISIN: AT0000A25NJ6), a leading European provider of
   environmental technologies and emission-free infrastructure solutions,
   closed the 2025 financial year with stable sales of EUR 122.8 million
   (2024: EUR 121.5 million, +1.1%). The year was marked by a deliberate
   transformation process: The Group sharpened its strategic focus,
   streamlined its organizational structure, and laid the foundation for a
   return to sustainable profitability.

   Sales and earnings performance in 2025 was impacted by several temporary
   factors, including a maintenance-related shutdown of a recycling plant,
   delayed project releases by customers, a less favorable margin mix, and a
   provision of approximately EUR 2.0 million related to a first-instance
   court ruling in Italy.

   Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA)
   for the year 2025 amounted to EUR 6.2 million (2024: EUR 8.6 million),
   corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 5.0%. EBITDA benefited from a
   non-recurring, non-operative valuation gain of EUR 3.6 million resulting
   from the revaluation of an equity investment. Excluding this one-time
   effect, normalized EBITDA amounted to EUR 2.6 million, including a EUR 2.0
   million provision recognized in the first half of the year in connection
   with the Italian legal proceedings, which had a corresponding negative
   impact on profitability. Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to EUR 1.1
   million (2024: EUR 2.5 million), corresponding to a margin of 0.9%. Profit
   before tax amounted to EUR -0.9 million (2024: EUR 0.3 million), while
   profit after tax remained at EUR -1.3 million (2024: EUR -1.5 million).

   In the second half of 2025, the implemented cost and efficiency measures
   began to deliver tangible results and initiated a turnaround. Operating
   profitability improved significantly: On a quarterly basis, the operating
   turnaround was already achieved in Q3 2025 with an adjusted EBITDA of EUR
   1.0 million. This trend continued in the fourth quarter, with EBITDA
   reaching EUR 2.5 million, confirming the return to positive operational
   profitability.

   “2025 was a year of strategic realignment and operational stabilization.
   We worked consistently on improving our cost base, streamlined our
   organization, and defined a clear roadmap for the coming years with
   GreenLead 2030. The significant improvement in the second half of the year
   shows that these measures are taking effect. For 2026, we expect a return
   to sustainable profitability and improved cash flow”, says Simon Reckla,
   CEO of the Wolftank Group.

   Equity stood at EUR 22.9 million (2024: EUR 24.9 million), with an equity
   ratio of 18.8% (2024: 22.9%). Despite the net loss, net debt was reduced
   to EUR 18.9 million (2024: EUR 24.1 million). In addition to disciplined
   working capital management, this was also driven by balance sheet effects
   related to the planned sale of an equity interest. Operating cash flow
   amounted to EUR 3.8 million, compared to EUR 1.3 million in 2024.

   Segment performance: Environmental Services solid, Hydrogen business
   continues to scale
   Since the 2025 financial year, Wolftank Group has been reporting in two
   segments: Environmental Services and Hydrogen & Renewable Energies. The
   former Industrial Coatings and Maintenance division was integrated into
   the Environmental Services segment, reflecting operational synergies.

   The Environmental Services segment generated sales of EUR 97.1 million
   (2024: EUR 96.4 million), remaining at a stable level. The first half of
   the year was impacted by the shutdown of a recycling plant and subdued
   market dynamics. EBITDA amounted to EUR 5.1 million with a margin of 5.3%
   (2024: EUR 7.5 million and 7.8%). Project activity recovered significantly
   in the second half of the year, underlining the structurally strong demand
   for remediation, recycling, and infrastructure maintenance. The segment
   continues to benefit from regulatory tailwinds, including the EU Soil
   Monitoring and Resilience Directive, PFAS-regulations, and increasing
   demands for infrastructure modernization.

   The Hydrogen & Renewable Energies segment achieved sales of EUR 25.7
   million (2024: EUR 25.1 million), broadly in line with the prior year.
   EBITDA amounted to EUR 1.1 million with a margin of 4.3% (2024: EUR 1.1
   million and 4.5%), as several major projects that had not yet been fully
   completed and handed over by year-end 2025. Several of these projects are
   expected to be finalized and commissioned in 2026, creating the basis for
   recurring service and maintenance sales. Wolftank Group is positioning
   itself as a technology leader in hydrogen refueling infrastructure in
   Europe.

   GreenLead 2030 Strategy: Expanding along existing core competencies
   With the GreenLead 2030 strategy presented in November 2025, Wolftank
   Group is advancing the strategic evolution of its business model. The
   focus lies on expanding existing competencies into adjacent technologies,
   services, customer segments, and geographic markets. In particular,
   Wolftank is targeting the high-growth areas of battery recycling, PFAS
   decontamination, and automated tank remediation. These are markets
   characterized by strong regulatory relevance and close technological
   proximity to the Group’s existing business.

   In addition, Wolftank Group is expanding its activities in the field of
   critical infrastructure and specialized industrial applications, among
   others through the recently concluded strategic partnership with High
   Impact Technology LLC in the area of specialized coatings for critical
   infrastructure and defense applications.

   With a total addressable market volume of approximately EUR 20 to 25
   billion by 2030, Wolftank Group is positioning itself as a European
   Green-Tech Integrator focused on environmental technologies and
   zero-emission infrastructure. By 2030, the Group aims to achieve sales of
   EUR 250 million and an EBITDA margin of around 12%.

   Outlook 2026: Turnaround and return to profitability
   The current market environment is characterized by two opposing dynamics:
   The geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have had global repercussions
   on logistics and supply chains and have led to significantly higher energy
   prices. At the same time, sustainable energy solutions are moving back
   into focus to reduce dependence on oil and gas and ensure energy security
   in the long term. Wolftank Group continues to closely monitor both
   developments and their potential impact, including energy prices and
   overall costs, and is evaluating necessary measures to safeguard
   operational profitability.

   Subject to the currently unforeseeable effects of geopolitical
   disruptions, Wolftank Group expects a significant improvement in
   operational profitability in 2026, targeting an EBITDA margin of 6% to 7%
   on sales of approximately EUR 135 million. This outlook is supported by
   the strong order backlog of around EUR 175 million at year-end 2025,
   sustainable cost reductions, and the upcoming completion of several
   hydrogen projects. For 2027 and 2028, Wolftank Group aims to generate
   sales of EUR 150 million to EUR 175 million and achieve an EBITDA margin
   of at least 10%.

   “We entered 2026 with a clear agenda: profitability, operational
   excellence, and the gradual expansion into new growth areas aligned with
   our core competencies. Despite the challenging market environment and the
   current geopolitical situation, we are actively positioning ourselves to
   benefit from these developments as a green-tech company and executing our
   strategy with discipline”, says CEO Simon Reckla.
