   Linz, Austria, August 6, 2026 – [1]Kontron AG, a leading global IoT
   technology company, today announced its financial figures for the first
   half of 2026. The first half of 2026 was characterized by sustained
   revenue growth in the core areas of Cybersolutions +16.3%, Aerospace &
   Defense +31.8% and Transportation +11.0%. At the same time, sales in the
   GreenTec division fell by 42.8%.

   In the first half of 2026, Kontron generated total revenue of EUR 737.1
   million (6M 2025: EUR 729.0 million adjusted), with revenue increasing by
   2.6% compared to Q1 2026. Adjusted for the impact of the deconsolidated
   companies (EUR 55.1 million), revenue from the operating business grew by
   1.1% on an organic basis.

   Adjusted EBITDA amounted to EUR 100.8 million in the first half of the
   year (6M 2025: EUR 90.9 million adjusted). The figures were adjusted for
   restructuring costs of EUR 16.4 million in 2026 and special income from
   deconsolidation in 2025. Adjusted net income after minorities amounted to
   EUR 48.8 million or EUR 0.78 per share and reported EUR 34.9 million or
   EUR 0.56 per share. The previous year's figures amounted to EUR 46.5
   million or EUR 0.76 and reported EUR 88.9 million or EUR 1.45 per share.

   At the end of the first half of the year, Kontron had already successfully
   completed a large part of its strategic realignment. The restructuring
   program in the GreenTec division includes the reduction of 500 jobs. Of
   these, 424 have already been concluded or agreed. The program is expected
   to be completed in the third quarter. The cost savings of over EUR 30
   million per year will become fully visible from the 2027 financial year.

   Kontron has also further expanded its technological leadership position in
   the areas of cybersecurity, edge AI, FRMCS and 5G communication, while
   continuing its consistent focus on high-margin software and IoT solutions.
   Today, more than 60% of development activities are already accounted for
   by the Software + Solutions division. Kontron is one of the world's
   technology leaders in key technologies such as VPX for defense
   applications, FRMCS for digital rail transport, and AI Cybersecurity.

   Operating cash flow amounted to EUR -13.8 million in the first half of the
   year (6M 2025: EUR 16.3 million) and reflects in particular the temporary
   strong build-up of inventories of over EUR 47 million in the wake of the
   chip crisis. As of June 30, 2026, Kontron had cash and cash equivalents of
   EUR 171.5 million. Equity increased to EUR 749.3 million, which
   corresponds to an equity ratio of around 41.7%. Net debt amounted to EUR
   253.1 million at the end of the first half of the year.

   The order backlog at the end of the first half of the year reached a new
   record level of EUR 2,750 million (December 31, 2025: EUR 2,495 million).
   The very high book-to-bill ratio was 1.55 in the second quarter of 2026
   and underlines the enormously high demand for Kontron AG's products and
   solutions in the coming years.

   For the 2026 financial year, the Management Board confirms the outlook of
   revenue slightly above the previous year's level of EUR 1,607 million.
   Taking into account the sold businesses of EUR 75 million, this results in
   organic growth of 8%. The strong allocation of microchips to AI data
   centers led to customer backlogs (delinquent backlog) of EUR 50.4 million
   in the first half of 2026.

   The Management Board continues to expect adjusted EBITDA of EUR 225
   million for 2026 before restructuring expenses of around EUR 25 million.

   [2]www.kontron.com in the Investor Relations section.
