New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 3.6% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 3.6% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risk Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Reported Earnings • Apr 19
First quarter 2026 earnings released: EPS: kr0.27 (vs kr1.25 in 1Q 2025) First quarter 2026 results: EPS: kr0.27 (down from kr1.25 in 1Q 2025). Revenue: kr49.3b (down 10% from 1Q 2025). Net income: kr888.0m (down 79% from 1Q 2025). Profit margin: 1.8% (down from 7.5% in 1Q 2025). The decrease in margin was driven by lower revenue. Revenue is forecast to stay flat during the next 3 years compared to a 2.7% growth forecast for the Communications industry in Europe. Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has increased by 65% per year but the company’s share price has only increased by 26% per year, which means it is significantly lagging earnings growth.

Dividend of kr1.50 announced Shareholders will receive a dividend of kr1.50. Ex-date: 28th September 2026 Payment date: 2nd October 2026 Dividend yield will be 16%, which is higher than the industry average of 2.7%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is well covered by both earnings (35% earnings payout ratio) and cash flows (34% cash payout ratio). The dividend has decreased over the past 10 years, indicating a lack of growth and stability in payments. EPS is expected to decline by 20% over the next 3 years. However, it would need to fall by 61% to increase the payout ratio to a potentially unsustainable range. Tillkännagivande • Feb 26
Ericsson Demonstrates Breakthrough Drone Detection Proof of Concept At Texas Headquarters Ericsson announced a successful live proof of concept of its ISAC (Integrated Sensing and Communication) technology at the company's U.S. Headquarters in Plano, Texas, signaling a major step forward in the evolution of networks that both connect and sense the world around them. The live proof of concept centered on drone detection using Ericsson's massive-MIMO radios, showcasing the network's ability to track unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) within surrounding airspace. This proof of concept demonstrates that the US is a global leader in ISAC technology which enhances national security, optimizes spectrum use, and drives economic growth. ISAC is an innovative technology that enables use cases across commercial, public safety and defense scenarios, enabling faster adoption of new emerging technologies like autonomous systems and drone delivery in commercial settings. From a defense scenario, itaugments national security and provides an additional layer of safety. ISAC integrates sensing and spatial location of passive (not connected) objects into the mobile communication network - extending network functionality beyond connectivity by enabling the detection and characterization of objects and movement using existing infrastructure. The capability is progressing in 3GPP with initial studies in Release 19 and is expected to form part of early 6G standardization, showing the foundation for broad, scalable sensing applications. Safer, smarter infrastructure: Network-based sensing can support use cases by augmenting local sensors with wide-area network awareness. Efficient path to scale: ISAC is designed to reuse existing mobile network sites, spectrum, and hardware, enabling pragmatic introduction and coverage at scale. Road to 6G: 3GPP studies have begun, with ISAC poised to become a foundational capability in the 6G era. The proof of concept underscores Ericsson's commitment to advancing 6G-era capabilities and collaborating with the broader ecosystem to validate real-world scenarios and deployment approaches across sites, spectrum, and hardware integration levels. Ericsson has invested more than $150 million in the factory and is the only manufacturer making telecom equipment at scale in the US. The highly automated, 300,000-square-foot facility supports more than 550 US manufacturing jobs and strengthens secure, resilient domestic supply chains. As 6G technology matures, Ericsson plans to build-on this US-based manufacturing foundation to support future deployments. Tillkännagivande • Feb 16
Ericsson, Leonardo and Italian Navy Trial 5G Standalone On-Sea Capabilities Ericsson and the Italian Navy have conducted a maritime connectivity test using an Ericsson 5G Standalone system. The trial was successfully completed, enabling connectivity between naval units engaged in a day and night training scenario on the open sea. A completely self-contained end-to-end Ericsson 5G SA network - comprising Ericsson Ultra Compact Core and Ericsson Massive MIMO Radio Access Network products and solutions - was installed on board the Italian Navy's amphibious landing ship San Giorgio, which served as the lead unit during a recent experimentation campaign. Ericsson 5G SA customer premises equipment (CPE) was installed on board a second unit of the Italian Navy - the Multi-Purpose Combat Ship Raimondo Montecuccoli. Leonardo and Ericsson collaborated in the EDF 5G COMPAD project and demonstrated its outcomes during the Italian Navy's Operational Experimentation (OPEX) 2-25 in the Gulf of Taranto. Using Ericsson's 5G Standalone connectivity and Leonardo's NINE encryption solution, the trial enabled the secure, real-time exchange of classified and unclassified information between two naval units, including full situational awareness from the Combat Management System and video streams from 12 unmanned systems processed via the AI Brain platform. The OPEX validated the performance, security and resilience of 5G SA for on-board connected systems, while also showing how a unified 5G network can optimize spectrum usage compared to multiple standalone communication systems operating on unlicensed and potentially overlapping, bands with interference risks. This collaboration not only demonstrates the versatility of dual-use 5G in critical operations, but also highlights how enhanced connectivity at sea can significantly strengthen naval communications and operational effectiveness. The same Italian Navy experimentation - officially called the Italian Navy open-sea Operational Experimentation (OP EX Task 2-25), within the framework of the Multi-Domain Operational Experimentation Committee - included several other ecosystem partners testing at sea capabilities. Ericsson also collaborated with the Italian Navy as part of 2024 NATO trials, when an end-to-end 5G SA network was installed in the Italian Naval base at Taranto. Tillkännagivande • Jan 28

Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ) Reportedly in Talks to Invest Hundreds of Millions of Dollars in Intel Corporation's Networking Unit The Swedish telecom equipment maker Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ) (OM:ERIC B) is in talks to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in Intel Corporation (NasdaqGS:INTC)'s networking infrastructure business, according to people familiar with the matter. The investment would make Ericsson a minority stakeholder in the newly spun-off networking and edge business known as NEX that has long supplied chips to Ericsson for its radio access network hardware, the people said, asking not to be identified because the talks are private. Intel has held talks with other potential investors to join Ericsson in taking a stake in the business, which manufactures chips for use in computer and telecommunications networks, the people said. An arrangement has not yet been finalized, they said, and it’s possible a deal won’t materialize. Ericsson is a longtime customer of Intel, which has in recent years struggled to keep pace with rivals such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. and Samsung Electronics Co. Former Chief Executive Officer Pat Gelsinger was pushed out of the firm last year after his costly plan to turn the company into a maker of chips for other businesses failed to deliver results fast enough for its board. Intel has since been slashing costs and looking to sell off noncore businesses to bolster its finances. And last week, the company said it will spin off its network and infrastructure division into a standalone company. In April, the chipmaker agreed to sell a 51% stake in its programmable chips unit Altera to Silver Lake Management. Intel said in a statement that it has “begun the process of identifying strategic investors.” Similar to the Altera arrangement, Intel said it plans to remain an anchor investor in the networking spinoff, “enabling us to benefit from future upside.” Ericsson declined to provide a statement, saying it doesn’t comment “on the business of its partners” or rumors and speculation. Intel had been exploring options for the enterprise networking division for months, Bloomberg previously reported. NEX chief Sachin Katti wrote in an memo first reported by CRN that the separate company would focus on chips for communications, networking and Ethernet connectivity. Intel would retain a stake in the company. Many of Ericsson’s hardware products rely on chips designed by Intel for its mobile network equipment. The companies formed an even tighter relationship early last year when Ericsson announced its future infrastructure would be built on Intel’s Xeon Next-Gen processors for greater speed and energy efficiency.
