No significant or other events after the end of the period

"The bear market that took hold in late 2025 continued to affect the industry during the second quarter. Our net turnover decreased by 33% to SEK 87.6 million compared with the same period last year, and net profit came in at SEK -7.3 million. During the quarter we sold our long-term TAO holding to prioritize operational capital, which is reported as a realized loss in this report. Safello did relatively outperform the European market during the quarter, and we are seeing signs of increased institutional interest following the passing of the MiCA deadline and our signed partnership with Wictor Family Office, says Frank Schuil, CEO of Safello.

For environmental and cost reasons, Safello Group AB has decided not to print the report. A printout may be distributed to shareholders upon request.
