Qt Group Oyj Announces Plans for A Broad Reorganization of Its Operations Qt Group Oyj announced plans for a broad reorganization of its operations. The objective of the reorganization was to improve the Company’s operational efficiency, respond to the changed market environment, and fully leverage synergies arising from acquisitions. The reorganization was expected to result in annual cost savings of approximately EUR 20 million, which were expected to be fully realized during 2027. The realization and timing of the savings depended on the final scope and implementation of the reorganization. Qt Group Oyj estimated that the planned measures may result in the termination of up to a maximum of 200 positions globally. Any potential personnel reductions would be implemented in accordance with the procedures required under the applicable legislation of each country. Qt Group Oyj would primarily explore opportunities for internal redeployment. Qt Group Oyj would begin statutory change negotiations in Finland on April 27, 2026. According to the company's preliminary estimate, the negotiations would last six weeks, unless otherwise agreed during the negotiations. In Finland, all employees and all of the company's offices were within the scope of the change negotiations. Qt Group Oyj estimated that the planned measures may result in the termination of employment of up to 80 employees in Finland. The planned measures aimed to simplify decision-making, improve operational efficiency, and strengthen the Company’s ability to execute its strategy in a changing market environment. The reorganization would support the Company’s long-term profitability and growth objectives. Announcement • Apr 16

Qt Group Introduces Support for NVIDIA CUDA Safety and Coding Guidelines Qt Group has launched a tool that automatically checks if programs using NVIDIA's accelerated computing follow safety rules for NVIDIA CUDA coding. Launched in Axivion 7.11, the feature allows developers in safety-critical industries to more quickly build reliable, compliant applications that feature advanced graphics and AI for use cases like self-driving cars, medical scanners, and robots. Axivion is a toolset for running static code analysis and architectural verification in C/C++. While version 7.10 added support for CUDA environments, 7.11 automates enforcement of NVIDIA's CUDA C++ coding guidelines. This native support will allow companies to quickly validate their code against an industry-recognized standard in safety-certifiable projects. In the long run, this helps developers detect bugs earlier, minimize technical debt, and reduce compliance gaps across GPU-accelerated code. Using Axivion for CUDA, developers can now: Automate checks of CUDA code against industry standard safety and security rules such as MISRA, CERT, NVIDIA CUDA C++ coding guidelines, as well as custom company guidelines. Gain full traceability and evidence-based audit trails to detect problems early, including dead code, code duplication, unsafe dependencies and Freedom from Interference (FFI) across standard C++ and CUDA source code. This ensures compliance with strict safety standards like ISO 26262, IEC 62304, and IEC 61508. Ensure software architecture stays consistent and safe for use in regulated environments. Axivion is already used across all regulated industries to automatically check software code and architectures for errors, complexity, and compliance with safety standards. Future updates will continue to enrich features related to areas like memory safety checks and data-flow analysis. Announcement • Oct 17
Qt Group Plc Lowers Earnings Guidance for 2025 Qt Group Plc lowered earnings guidance for 2025. The change in Qt Group's customers' purchasing behavior caused by general economic uncertainty has significantly slowed revenue growth across all areas of the company's business. Contrary to expectations, larger deals worth several million euros have not been signed during the third quarter. The company estimates that the average deal size will not significantly increase during the rest of the year 2025 either. New outlook for 2025: The company estimated that full-year net sales for 2025 will increase by 3%-10% year-on-year at comparable exchange rates. The outlook includes the estimated impact of the acquisition of IAR Systems Group on Qt Group's net sales and operating profit for the remainder of the year. Previous outlook for 2025 (as issued on April 23, 2025): The company estimated that full-year net sales for 2025 will increase by 10%-20% year-on-year at comparable exchange rates.

Qt Group Launches New Version of the Qt Framework, Qt for Mosa Qt Group has launched a new version of the Qt Framework, Qt for MOSA, that has completed the Future Airborne Capability Environment®?, or FACE®?, Certification process. This means user interface (UI) applications for defense ground and air vehicle programs can benefit from the same advanced functionality and cost efficiencies that Qt brings to cross-platform UI development in other industries. The FACE Technical Standard is an open standard to streamline the software computing environment for defense systems. It was created by the FACE Consortium, US and UK government, and industry collaboration, which was formed to address the need for frequent modular upgrades in software systems. The requirements of the FACE Technical Standard ensure the development of software components that are portable, interoperable, and reusable across different platforms and vendors. This makes the Qt Framework an ideal match, given its rich history of interoperability across many operating systems and embedded devices. With FACE Conformance, the Qt Framework can now be used to develop component applications that integrate into complex composite systems like armored vehicles and airborne surveillance sensor suites. Built on a modified version of Qt, the FACE Conformant framework provides an abstraction above the FACE Operating System Segment, which only provides a limited set of low-level system and graphics calls. This makes it easier for defense contractors to rapidly build screen-reliant software for drones, sensors, radars, and more. The framework is especially targeted at devices without safety requirements, but which do require complex and powerful display capabilities. The conformance package provides both the code, as well as an example application demonstrating how Qt applications can be created. The Qt Framework is already used extensively in the augmentation of defense UI capabilities where FACE Conformance has not been required, including devices such as radar, electro-optical and infrared sensors, electronic warfare, drone control, vehicle instrument clusters, and more.

QT Group Launches AI Assistant to Streamline Cross-Platform UI Development Qt Group is launching Qt AI Assistant, an experimental tool for streamlining cross-platform user interface (UI) development. Its goal is to reduce repetitive UI development tasks that often do not involve coding. This allows developers to spend more time on productive and creative aspects of writing innovative code. The tool supports self-hosted language models (via cloud or locally) without the need for a third-party AI assistance provider. Qt AI Assistant will offer advice on building application UIs with Qt Framework and automates manual tasks like writing unit test cases, code documentation, and repetitive code. Users request this advice with a prompt window and quick-access commands inside the code editor of Qt Creator (used for creating and modifying cross-platform apps). The tool is compatible with various coding languages like C++ and Python, but specifically trained on thousands of real-world use cases of QML and Qt Quick - the Qt Framework's language and toolkit for designing how apps look and behave. This means developers can, for example, generate the needed repetitive QML code while building user interfaces, freeing up time for more complex coding tasks. Qt AI Assistant will accommodate whichever language model developers prefer to deploy with. The initial release is pre-configured to support the following models out of the box: Claude 3.5 Sonnet (chat + completions); OpenAI GPT-4o (chat + completions); Llama 3.3 70B QML (chat); Code Llama 13B QML (code completions); Code Llama 7B (code completions). The flexibility of Qt AI Assistant will allow for different content generation requests to be routed separately to different models. For example, a developer can route QML code to one specialised LLM, while routing other code to another LLM. This lets developers always obtain code suggestions from the best-performing models for their programming language, instead of whichever LLM is available through a third-party AI assistant provider. Qt AI Assistant will also address security concerns for embedded devices and high-end desktop applications built with Qt Framework. By supporting self-hosted models, companies can perform private cloud deployments of LLMs, which avoids code leaks and safeguards intellectual property. Developers can even choose to only trigger Qt AI Assistant manually, to avoid unwanted disruptions while coding. Later this year, Qt Group will release fine-tuned versions of LLMs - starting with Llama 3.3 70 B and Code Llama 13B - trained on 4,000+ human-created and validated QML code snippets. These will be free to download on the Hughes Face portal, including for open-source Qt developers to connect with third-party assistants. New Risk • Jan 12
New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of German stocks, typically moving 6.8% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Announcement • Nov 02

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: €2.0m This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (7.0% average weekly change).
