The interim financial information reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the information set forth herein. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, as they do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated.
On February 18, 2025, the Company completed a ratio change whereby the ratio of the Company’s American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) to ordinary shares was changed from one ADS representing one ordinary share to one ADS representing twenty ordinary shares (the “ADS Ratio Change”). All numbers in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, including references to price per ADS and a specific number of ADSs, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) or stock options, reflect an ADS to ordinary share ratio of 1:20 (unless the context clearly indicates otherwise).
New and amended standards and interpretations issued but not yet adopted
There are no IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting standards”) or IFRIC® Interpretations that are expected to have a material impact on the Group in the current or future reporting periods or on foreseeable future transactions, other than those included in the 2024 Annual Report.
Note 3. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assessments
In preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation and uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectation of future events.
Note 4. Seasonality
To date, we have not experienced pronounced seasonality, but such fluctuations may have been masked by our historical growth and macroeconomic trends, including higher inflation. As the Group continues to grow, including the relative size of our markets, we expect to see additional seasonality effects, especially within the food retail channel, with revenue contribution from this channel tending to be linked with holiday season periods. For example, the Lunar New Year one week celebration occurring in the first quarter of the calendar year has resulted in lower volumes sold in Greater China and the rest of the Asia business compared to the remaining quarterly periods of the year.

Note 6. Share-based compensation
During the year ended December 31, 2021, in connection with the initial public offering (“IPO”), the Company implemented a new incentive award program, the 2021 Incentive Award Plan (“2021 Plan”). The principal purpose of the 2021 Plan is to attract, retain and motivate selected employees, consultants and members of the Board of Directors through the granting of share-based compensation awards and cash-based performance bonus awards from 2021 and onwards. 69,496,515 ordinary shares have been reserved for grants pursuant to a variety of share-based compensation awards, including, but not limited to, stock options and RSUs. To secure the future delivery of ordinary shares and ADSs under the 2021 Plan, the Company’s shareholders resolved to issue 69,496,515 warrants. The right to subscribe for the warrants vests only in the Company. See Note 18 Equity.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company, under the 2021 Plan, issued no new RSUs. The RSUs are accounted for as equity-settled share-based compensation transactions. The RSUs are measured based on the fair market value of the underlying ADSs on the date of grant.
Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements
(in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated)
The RSUs granted to employees under the 2021 Plan vest in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to continued service. The RSUs granted to members of the Company’s Board of Directors vest on the date of the next Annual General Meeting of shareholders following the grant date, subject to continued service on the applicable vesting date. No RSUs vested during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company, under the 2021 Plan, issued no new stock options. The stock options are accounted for as equity-settled share-based compensation transactions. For stock options granted under the 2021 Plan, the exercise price is equal to the fair value of the ADSs on the date of grant. The stock options granted to participants under the 2021 Plan vest in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to continued service. The stock options expire, in relation to each installment under the vesting schedule, five years after vesting, corresponding to a total term of six, seven and eight years for the respective installment. No new stock options vested during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The fair value at grant date of the stock options granted during the financial year 2024 was $13.4 for the May 2024 grant date and $9.2 for the November 2024 grant date. The fair value at grant date of the stock options granted during the financial year 2023 was $19.6 for the May 2023 grant date, $21.8 for the July 2023 grant date and $8.6 for the November 2023 grant date. The fair value at grant date of the stock options granted during the financial year 2022 was $29.8 for the May 2022 grant date and $17.2 for the November 2022 grant date. The fair value at grant date of the stock options granted during the financial year 2021 was $124.8 for the May 2021 grant date and $73.4 for the November 2021 grant date. The fair value of the stock options at grant date has been determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which takes into account the exercise price, the expected term of the stock options, the share price at grant date, expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield, the risk-free interest rate for the term of the stock options and the correlations and volatilities of the peer group companies. The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the near future and therefore uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the option valuation model.
Each RSU or stock option entitles the holder to acquire, as determined by the Board of Directors, either twenty ordinary shares, twenty warrants or one ADS in the Company.
Share-based compensation expense was $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (2024: $2.6 million).

Other financial expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and three months ended March 31, 2024 mainly consists of $1.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively, in transaction costs relating to amendments in the Group’s financing arrangements.
See Note 19 Liabilities to credit institutions for further details on the Group’s credit facilities.
Note 8. Income tax
Total tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $3.4 million. Total tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $0.1 million. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 36.5%. The main drivers of the effective tax rate relate to non-recognition of deferred tax assets on tax losses and tax effect relating to foreign exchange effects recognized in other comprehensive income. The effective tax rate for three months ended March 31, 2024 was 0.1%, with non-recognition of deferred tax assets on tax losses being the main driver of the effective tax rate. The Group operates in a global environment with significant operations in various jurisdictions outside Sweden. Accordingly, the consolidated income tax rate is a composite rate reflecting the Group’s earnings and the applicable tax rates in the various jurisdictions where the Group operates, and whether or not deferred tax assets are able to be recognized.
The Group’s is, as of January 1, 2025 in scope of the OECD Pillar Two Model Rules (“P2 Rules”). The legislation is effective for the Group’s financial year beginning January 1, 2025. The P2 Rules have been enacted (or substantively enacted) in most jurisdictions in which the Group operates, including Sweden. Although no material exposure arising from Pillar Two has been identified to date, material Pillar Two impacts to the Group’s tax expense remain possible.
In May 2023, the IASB amended IAS 12 Income Taxes to include a mandatory temporary exception from recognizing or disclosing deferred taxes relating to the Pillar Two legislation. The Group has applied this mandatory exception which did not have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

(1) Relates primarily to disposed assets due to the closure of the Group’s production facility in Singapore.
Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $7.4 million (2024: $8.7 million).
Note 11. Leases
Lease terms for production facilities are generally between 10 and 20 years, and lease terms for other properties (i.e., offices) are generally between one and 15 years. Lease terms for production equipment are generally between one and five years. The Group also has leases with a shorter lease term than 12 months and leases pertaining to assets of low value, such as office equipment. For these, the Group has chosen to apply the exemption rules in IFRS 16 Leases, meaning the value of these contracts is not part of the right-of-use asset or lease liability.

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements
(in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated)
The promissory note is part of the purchase price from selling the manufacturing facilities in Ogden, Utah and Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas during 2023. The note has a maturity date of May 31, 2028. The nominal interest rate is 8% for the first year and then increases by 200 basis points each year. The interest is capitalized semi-annually, and the effective interest rate is 12.56%.
Long-term prepaid expenses consist primarily of a credit toward future use of shared assets at the manufacturing facility in Ogden.
Note 13. Fair value of financial instruments
This note explains the judgments and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognized and measured at fair value in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards.
Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives and equity securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in Level 1.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques, which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.
Specific valuation techniques used in Level 2 to value financial instruments include:
•
for foreign currency forwards, the present value of future cash flows based on the forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date
•
for interest rate caps – option pricing models (e.g. Black-Scholes model)
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities.

There were no transfers between the levels during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024.
The carrying amount of the promissory note, is a reasonable approximation of fair value since the transaction was closed on March 1, 2023, and there have been no significant changes to credit risk or market rates during the period March 1, 2023 until March 31, 2025. See Note 12 Other non-current receivables.
Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements
(in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated)
The carrying amount of non-current liabilities to credit institutions in the Group is a reasonable approximation of fair value since the interest rate is variable and there have been no significant changes to credit risk since issued on April 18, 2023. See Note 19 Liabilities to credit institution.
The carrying amount of current liabilities to credit institutions and other financial instruments in the Group is a reasonable approximation of fair value since they are short-term, and the discount effect is not significant.

The Group determines the amount of fair value changes which are attributable to credit risk by first determining the changes due to market conditions which give rise to market risk, and then deducting those changes from the total change in fair value of the Convertible Notes. Market conditions which give rise to market risk include changes in the benchmark interest rate. Fair value movements on the conversion option embedded derivative are included in the assessment of market risk fair value changes.
The fair value of the instrument in its entirety has been determined by using a combination of a Monte Carlo simulation and a discounted cash flow analysis.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Liabilities to credit institutions balance amounted to $120.9 million and $122.0 million, respectively, and was related to outstanding amounts under the TLB Credit Agreement (as defined below) and the EIF Facility (as defined below).
The European Investment Fund guaranteed three-year term loan facility with Svensk Exportkredit (the “EIF Facility”) was entered into in October 2019. In October 2022, the EIF Facility was amended to extend the term for another three years, with a maturity date in October 2025. The loan facility and interest margin remain unchanged. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Group had €0.9 million (equivalent of $1.0 million) and €1.3 million (equivalent of $1.3 million), respectively, outstanding on the EIF Facility, including accrued interest.
In April 2023, the Company entered into a Term Loan B Credit Agreement (the “TLB Credit Agreement”) with, amongst others, Silver Point Finance LLC as Syndication Agent and Lead Lender, J.P. Morgan SE, as Administrative Agent and Wilmington Trust (London) Limited as Security Agent, including a term loan facility of $130 million borrowed by Oatly AB. The term of the TLB Credit Agreement is five years from the funding date of the term loan facility, and the term loan facility is subject to 1% amortization per annum paid in quarterly installments. Borrowings carry an interest rate of Term SOFR (with floor of 2.50%) plus 7.5% or Base Rate (with floor of 3.50%) plus 6.5%. The TLB Credit Agreement, contains ongoing covenants such as minimum EBITDA, total net leverage ratio and liquidity requirements. The TLB Credit Agreement also contains certain negative covenants, including but not limited to restrictions on indebtedness, limitations on liens, fundamental changes covenant, asset sales covenant, and restricted payments covenant. The debt under the TLB Credit Agreement ranks pari passu with, and shares in the same security and guarantees from the Group as the EIF Facility and the SRCF Agreement by way of the Intercreditor Agreement. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Group had $119.9 million and $120.7 million, respectively, outstanding on the TLB Credit Agreement, including accrued interest and net after original issue discount and transaction costs.
In April 2023, the SRCF Agreement was amended and restated whereby, among other things, (i) the term of the SRCF Agreement was reset to three years and six months, with a one year uncommitted extension option, (ii) the lender group under the SRCF Agreement was reduced to JP Morgan SE, BNP Paribas SA, Bankfilial Sverige, Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A. and Nordea Bank Abp, filial i Sverige and the commitments under the SRCF Agreement were reduced to SEK 2,100 million (equivalent of $192.1 million), with an uncommitted incremental revolving facility option of up to SEK 500 million (equivalent of $45.7 million), (iii) the initial margin was reset at 4.00% p.a., (iv) the tangible solvency ratio, minimum EBITDA, minimum liquidity and total net leverage ratio financial covenants were reset, (v) the existing negative covenants were amended to further align with those included in the TLB Credit Agreement, including in relation to incurrence of indebtedness, and (vi) the debt under the SRCF Agreement ranks pari passu with, and shares in the same security and guarantees from the Group as, the EIF Facility and the TLB Credit Agreement by way of the Intercreditor Agreement. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Group had no utilized loan amounts under the amended SRCF Agreement.
Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements
(in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated)
In May 2023, (i) the SRCF Agreement was amended pursuant to an amendment letter to, among other things, ensure that the Convertible Notes constitute “PIPE Financing” under and as defined in the SRCF Agreement and (ii) the TLB Credit Agreement was amended pursuant to an amendment agreement to, among other things, ensure that the Convertible Notes constitute “Convertible Bonds” under and as defined in the TLB Credit Agreement. See Note 21 Convertible Notes for more information on the Company’s Convertible Notes.
On February 14, 2024, the Sustainable Revolving Credit Facility Agreement and the Term Loan B Credit Agreement were amended and restated to, among other things, (i) reset the financial covenant levels applying to the minimum EBITDA (including separate testing of the Group’s Europe & International EBITDA, the definition of which has subsequently been corrected by way of subsequent amendment), minimum liquidity and total net leverage ratio financial covenants and, in relation to the Sustainable Revolving Credit Facility Agreement, the tangible solvency ratio financial covenant, (ii) revise certain financial definitions to permit additional adjustments for the purpose of the calculation of the financial covenants and (iii) provide certain flexibility for disposals of assets relating to the Group’s production facilities in Dallas Fort Worth, Texas, United States of America and Peterborough, United Kingdom. In addition, the existing draw-stop level for the Sustainable Revolving Credit Facility Agreement, which requires that a certain amount of such facility remains undrawn for as long as the last twelve months’ (“LTM”) consolidated EBITDA of the Group is negative, was increased from $50 million to $100 million, and the original 24 months’ non-call/make-whole period applying under the Term Loan B Credit Agreement was reset to apply for the 18 months following the amendment effective date (for the avoidance of doubt, the subsequent 12 months’ prepayment fee period still applies after the end of such 18-month period).
Under the amended Sustainable Revolving Credit Facility Agreement and Term Loan B Credit Agreement, the total net leverage ratio financial covenant, tested in respect of the LTM period ending on each quarter date, will start to apply in respect of the LTM period ending on 31 December 2026 and the applicable financial covenant level will be 4.50:1, stepping down to 3.50:1 for each LTM period ending in 2027 and to 3.00:1 for each LTM period in 2028. The reset quarterly tangible solvency ratio financial covenant level applying under the amended Sustainable Revolving Credit Facility Agreement is 30%.
On February 14, 2024, the EIF Facility was amended and restated to, where and to the extent applicable, implement equivalent amendments as those made to the Sustainable Revolving Credit Facility Agreement on February 14, 2024.
On February 11, 2025, the SRCF Agreement and TLB Credit Agreement were amended and restated to, among other things, (i) reset certain financial covenant levels applying to the minimum liquidity financial covenant, (ii) revise certain financial definitions to permit additional adjustments for the purpose of the calculation of certain financial covenants, including in relation to certain costs relating to the discontinuance of certain of the Group’s manufacturing facilities and (iii) provide certain flexibility for disposals of assets relating to the relevant manufacturing facilities.
The amended SRCF Agreement and TLB Credit Agreement impose limitations on drawdowns under the SRCF Agreement (other than under ancillary facilities, such as overdraft facilities and bank guarantees, which are exempted from these limitations) based on the last four quarters’ consolidated EBITDA of the Group, where, if last four quarters’ consolidated EBITDA of the Group is:
(i) less than $0, $0 may be drawn; and
(ii) equal to or greater than $75 million, the full amount of the existing facility may be drawn,
with interim steps in between, and increases requiring improved performance for two consecutive four quarter periods and reductions requiring decreased performance for one four quarter period.
On February 11, 2025, the EIF Facility was amended and restated to, where and to the extent applicable, implement
equivalent amendments as those made to the Sustainable Revolving Credit Facility Agreement on February 11, 2025.
On March 19, 2025, Oatly Shanghai Co., Ltd. entered into a new RMB 30 million (equivalent of $4.2 million) working capital credit facility with China Merchants Bank Co., Ltd. Shanghai Branch (the “CMB Credit Facility”). Individual utilizations under the CMB Credit Facility are subject to the lender’s approval. The CMB Credit Facility is available for one year, is unsecured, and includes creditor protection in the form of, among other things, representations, covenants (including negative pledge, restrictions on borrowings, investments and dispositions by Oatly Shanghai Co., Ltd., distributions by Oatly Shanghai Co., Ltd. and entry into transactions with its affiliates) and events of default. As of March 31, 2025, the Group had no utilized loan amounts under the amended CMB Credit Facility.
For more information on the Group’s credit facilities, see Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources”.
Currency risk (transaction risk)
Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements
(in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated)
The TLB Credit Agreement is denominated in USD and the borrower within the Group is Oatly AB with a functional currency of SEK. The Group is therefore exposed to currency risk SEK/USD and if the rate would increase/decrease by 10% the impact on loss before tax for the three months ended March 31, 2025, would be $11.7 million.
Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk that arises from the term loan that carries an interest of Term SOFR with a floor of 2.5%. To manage the risk the Group has entered into interest rate caps for the full amount of the term loan of $130 million. The cap is 4.6% and has a maturity of 3 years (April 2026). The effect from increase in basis points is limited due to the cap that economically hedges the TLB Credit Agreement. If variable interest increased by 300 basis points the impact on loss before tax for the three months ended March 31, 2025, would be $0.0 million. If variable interest decreased by 300 basis points the impact on loss before tax for the three months ended March 31, 2025, would be $0.6 million, taking into account the floor of 2.5% in the term loan.

The costs relating to the closure of the facility are expected to be paid throughout the coming 2 years. The Group also recorded provisions related to organizational restructuring. The organizational restructuring plan was drawn up and announced to the employees during 2024.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Group had $2.9 million in cash outflows relating to organizational restructuring and $2.4 million in cash outflows relating to the closure of the production facility in Singapore.
Note 21. Convertible Notes
On March 23, 2023 and April 18, 2023, the Company issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of 9.25% Convertible Senior PIK Notes due 2028 (the notes issued on March 23, 2023, the “U.S. Notes” and the notes issued on April 18, 2023, the “Swedish Notes” and, together with the U.S. Notes, the “Original Convertible Notes” and the Original Convertible Notes, together with the HH Notes (as defined below), the “Convertible Notes”). The U.S. Notes and the Swedish Notes have substantially identical economic terms.
Certain of the Company’s existing shareholders, Nativus Company Limited, Verlinvest S.A. (“Verlinvest”) and Blackstone Funds, purchased $200.1 million aggregate principal amount of the Swedish Notes and other institutional investors purchased $99.9 million aggregate principal amount of the U.S. Notes. The investors paid an aggregate purchase price of $291 million, reflecting an original issue discount of 3%.
The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 9.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears in cash or in payment-in-kind, at the Company’s option, on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2023. The Convertible Notes will mature on September 14, 2028, unless earlier converted by the holders or required to be converted, repurchased or redeemed by the Company. The Original Convertible Notes were convertible at the option of each holder at an initial conversion price of $2.41 per ordinary share or per ADS, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments and conversion rate resets.
Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements
(in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated)
On March 23, 2024, the conversion price of the Original Convertible Notes was reset to $1.81 in accordance with the terms thereof.
On February 18, 2025, the Company completed a ratio change whereby the ratio of the Company’s ADSs to ordinary shares was changed from one ADS representing one ordinary share to one ADS representing twenty ordinary shares (the “ADS Ratio Change”). As a result of the ADS Ratio Change, the conversion price of the U.S. Notes was proportionately adjusted from $1.81 to $36.20. The conversion price of the U.S. Notes was reset again on March 23, 2025, to $27.20.
Because the Swedish Notes are convertible into ordinary shares rather than ADSs, the ADS Ratio Change did not affect the conversion price and conversion rate of the Swedish Notes. In order to ensure that the holders of the Swedish Notes remain in the same economic position as before the ADS Ratio Change and to preserve economic equivalency of the Swedish Notes with the U.S. Notes and the HH Notes, the Company, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Swedish Notes (the “Swedish Terms”), will interpret the definition of “Daily VWAP” therein to assume the trading price of 1/20 of an ADS. The conversion price of the Swedish Notes was reset again on March 23, 2025, to $1.36.
The Company may require conversion of the Convertible Notes if the last reported sale price of the Company’s ADSs equals or exceeds 200% of the applicable conversion price (in the case of the Swedish Notes, the definition of “Last Reported Sale Price” is interpreted to equal 1/20 of an ADS) on any 45 trading days during any 90 consecutive day period beginning on or after the third anniversary of the issuance of the U.S. Notes (with respect to the U.S. Notes and the HH Notes) and the Swedish Notes (with respect to the Swedish Notes).
On April 18, 2023, the Company, Oatly AB, Oatly Inc. and other parties entered into an intercreditor agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) which includes customary ranking, enforcement and turnover provisions intended to govern the relationship between the creditor groups and which affects the Convertible Notes.
On May 9, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with an affiliate of Hillhouse Investment Management Ltd. (“Hillhouse”) to sell an additional $35 million in Convertible Senior PIK Notes due 2028 (the “HH Notes”), resulting in approximately $34 million in financing after reflecting an original issue discount of 3%. The economic terms of the HH Notes are substantially identical to the economic terms of the U.S. Notes, except (i) that the HH Notes were convertible at Hillhouse’s option at an initial conversion price of $2.52 per ADS, representing an approximate 17% premium to the last reported sale price of the Company’s ADSs on the Nasdaq Global Market on May 8, 2023, and (ii) with respect to the specified prices in connection with the conversion rate resets of the HH Notes. On March 23, 2024, the conversion price of the HH Notes was reset to $1.89 in accordance with the terms thereof. As a result of the ADS Ratio Change, the conversion price of the HH Notes was proportionately adjusted from $1.89 to $37.80. The conversion price of the HH Notes was reset again on March 23, 2025, to $28.20.
In addition, on May 9, 2023, one of the existing holders of Swedish Notes and an affiliate of one of the Company’s shareholders, Verlinvest, agreed to sell and Hillhouse agreed to purchase from Verlinvest $15 million aggregate principal amount of Swedish Notes (the “Resale Notes”). The purchase and sale of the HH Notes and the Resale Notes closed on May 31, 2023. The HH Notes are also subject to the Intercreditor Agreement.
The terms of the Convertible Notes contain covenants limiting the Company’s ability to incur additional debt other than certain debt permitted under the TLB Credit Agreement, issue preferred stock, and incur convertible debt or subordinated debt, in each case without the consent of the holders of a majority of the Convertible Notes (as determined pursuant to the terms of the applicable Convertible Notes).

Note 24. Loss per share
The Company calculates loss per share by dividing loss for the period attributable to the shareholders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period (net of treasury shares).
Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss for the period attributable to the shareholders of the parent (after adjusting for fair value change and interest on the Convertible Notes) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period (net
of treasury shares) plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the potential dilutive ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

(1) On February 18, 2025, the Company completed a ratio change whereby the ratio of its ADSs to ordinary shares was changed from one ADS representing one ordinary share to one ADS representing twenty ordinary shares. The weighted average number of ADSs has been calculated by dividing the weighted average number of shares by 20, even though the actual number of outstanding ADSs is lower since not all of the ordinary shares in the Company are represented by ADSs. For further details on the ADS Ratio Change, see Note 2 Summary of accounting policies.

(1) The number of potential dilutive shares from the Convertible Notes are calculated assuming the most advantageous conversion price from the standpoint of the holder and assuming all capitalized interest at maturity will be settled with shares or ADSs. For further details on the Convertible Notes and the conversion price reset mechanism, see Note 21 Convertible Notes.
Note 25. Commitments and ContingenciesCommitmentsMinimum purchase commitments
The Group has several supplier contracts primarily for production and packaging services where minimum purchase commitments exist in the contract terms. The commitments are associated with contracts that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify significant terms, including fixed or minimum services to be purchased and fixed, minimum or variable price provisions. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, volume adjustments related to co-packer arrangements in Europe & International and North America resulted in volume shortfall expenses of $2.3 million. The shortfall expenses are presented in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statement of operations.

A cybersecurity incident or other technology disruptions could negatively impact our business and our relationships with customers;
•
Our customers generally are not obligated to continue purchasing products from us;
•
We may face difficulties as we expand our operations into countries in which we have no prior operating experience;
•
The international nature of our business subjects us to additional global economic and geopolitical risks;
•
Our operations in China could expose us to substantial business, regulatory, political, financial and economic risks;

Our results of operations and the market price of our ADSs have been, and may be, volatile, and you may lose all or part of your investment;
•
Although as a foreign private issuer we are exempt from certain corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. issuers, if we cannot satisfy, or continue to satisfy, the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq it could result in a delisting of our securities;
•
We are a foreign private issuer and, as a result, we are not subject to U.S. proxy rules and are subject to Exchange Act reporting obligations that, to some extent, are more lenient and less frequent than those of a U.S. domestic public company;

Overview
We are the world’s original and largest oat drink company. For over 30 years, we have exclusively focused on developing expertise around oats: a global power crop with inherent properties suited for sustainability and human health. Our commitment to oats has resulted in core technical advancements that enabled us to unlock the breadth of the dairy portfolio, including milks, ice creams, yogurts, cooking creams, spreads and on-the-go drinks.
Since our founding, we have had a bold vision for a food system that is better for people and the planet. We believe that transforming the food industry is necessary to face humanity’s greatest challenges across climate, environment, health and lifestyle and have not only positioned our brand to capitalize on the growing consumer interest in sustainable, plant- based foods and dairy alternatives, but we have become a driving force behind increased consumer awareness and transition from traditional dairy consumers to Oatly. Recent Developments, Trends and Other Factors Affecting our Business Strategic actions We continue to execute on our strategic priorities focused on achieving profitable growth. These actions are aimed at setting clear priorities for our teams, reducing complexity to increase organizational agility, and executing a more asset-light supply chain strategy. In executing these actions, we simplified our organizational structure. We reviewed the organizational structure to adjust the fixed cost base globally, including employee-related costs, professional services, and other related costs. During the fourth quarter 2023, we decided to discontinue the construction of our production facilities in Peterborough, United Kingdom and Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas. During 2024, we completed substantially all of the activities relating to the exit of these two facilities. Also, in 2024, we decided to close our production facility in Singapore and discontinued the construction of our second production facility in China, which we historically referred to as “Asia III.” For a further discussion on risks related to these discontinuations see Part I, Item 3.D. “Risk Factors” of our 2024 Annual Report. Impact of the Current Macroeconomic Environment on our Results Our business continues to be exposed to the effects of the current global macroeconomic environment, including consumer spending, inflationary pressures, geopolitical tensions, tariffs and the current trade war, and foreign exchange impacts. We continue to maintain a global focus on the controllable aspects of the business, and will continue to actively monitor and respond accordingly to the macroeconomic environment. For further information refer to Part I, Item 3.D. “Risk Factors” of our 2024 Annual Report. Revenue We generate revenue primarily from sales of our oatmilk and other oat-based products across our three segments: Europe & International, North America and Greater China. Our customers include retailers, e-commerce channels, coffee shops and other specialty providers within the foodservice industry. Europe & International is our largest revenue-producing segment, followed by the North America and Greater China segments. Currently, our primary markets in Europe & International are the United Kingdom, Germany and Sweden. In North America, substantially all of our revenue to date can be attributed to the United States, and in Greater China, the majority of our revenue is generated in China. The channel and product mix vary by country, where our more mature markets, such as Sweden and Finland, have a broader product portfolio available to customers and consumers. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, on a consolidated level, oatmilk accounted for 92% of our revenue (2024: 89%). We routinely offer sales discounts and promotions through various programs to customers. These programs include rebates, temporary on-shelf price reductions, retailer advertisements, product coupons and other trade activities. The expense associated with these discounts and promotions is estimated and recorded as a reduction in total gross revenue in order to arrive at reported revenue. These promotional activities impact our revenue and changes in such activities could impact period-over-period results. The following factors and trends in our business have driven revenue growth over prior periods and are expected to be key drivers of our revenue growth going forward: • Continue to expand household penetration to reach new consumers and increase the repeat purchase rates of existing consumers by continuing to invest in advertising and marketing to increase awareness of our brand and products. • Expand our presence across channels: o Grow within food retail channels by increasing our distribution points with existing and new customers, capturing greater shelf space and continuing to drive velocity increases.
o
Expand footprint across the foodservice channel, including independent coffee shops, branded foodservice restaurant chains, and other foodservice customers such as universities and offices.
•
Scale e-commerce capabilities by strategically partnering with leading third-party platforms.
•
Extend product offering through new product development within existing and new product categories to capture the market-specific consumer needs in each of the regions in which we operate.
•
Enter new international markets through our proven foodservice-led strategy.
•
Optimize global production capacity to meet consumer demand.
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold consists primarily of the cost of oats and other raw materials, product packaging, co-manufacturing fees, direct labor and associated overhead costs and property, plant and equipment depreciation. Our cost of goods sold also includes warehousing and transportation of inventory. We expect our cost of goods sold to increase in absolute dollars to support our growth. However, we expect that, over time, cost of goods sold will decrease as a percentage of revenue, as a result of the scaling of our business and optimizing our production footprint.
Gross profit and margin
Gross profit consists of our revenue less costs of goods sold. We have scaled our production capacity significantly over the past couple of years. Our gross profit and gross margin have benefited, and we expect will continue to benefit, from the reduction in cost of goods sold driven by an increased focus on our asset-light supply chain strategy, improvements in our manufacturing operational performance, leveraging the cost of our fixed production costs, as well as a higher focus on procurement efficiencies through scale of purchasing and diversification of suppliers. Additionally, our gross margin has benefited, and we expect will continue to benefit, from an improved mix of products sold driven by the reduction or elimination of low-margin products and the growth or addition of higher-margin products.
Operating expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses for our research and development staff, including salaries, benefits and bonuses, but also third-party consultancy fees and expenses incurred related to product trial runs. Our research and development efforts are focused on enhancements to our existing product formulations and production processes in addition to the development of new products.
Selling, general and administrative expenses include primarily personnel-related expenses for our sales, general and administrative staff, brand awareness and advertising costs, costs associated with consumer promotions, product samples and sales aids. These also include customer distribution costs, i.e., outbound shipping and handling costs for finished goods, and other functional related selling and marketing expenses, depreciation and amortization expense on non-manufacturing assets and other miscellaneous operating items. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include auditor fees and other third-party consultancy fees, expenses related to management, finance and accounting, information technology, human resources and other office functions.
Other operating income and (expenses), net, consists primarily of impacts related to closure of production facility, discontinued construction of certain production facilities and net foreign exchange gains (losses) on operating related activities.
Other
Finance income and (expenses), net, primarily consists of fair value changes on Convertible Notes, transaction costs relating to amendments in our financing arrangements, interest expenses related to Convertible Notes and loans from credit institutions, interest expenses on lease liabilities, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses attributable to our external and internal financing arrangements.
Income tax expense represents both current and deferred income tax expenses. Current tax expenses primarily represent income taxes based on income in multiple foreign jurisdictions.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025
Revenue
Revenue decreased $1.6 million, or 0.8%, to $197.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, net of sales discounts, rebates and trade promotions, compared to $199.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Excluding a foreign currency exchange headwind of $3.0 million, revenue for the first quarter was $200.6 million, or an increase of 0.7% compared to the prior year period (refer to Non-IFRS Financial Measures section below for tables reconciling revenue as reported to revenue on a constant currency basis by segment). The growth in constant currency revenue was primarily driven by very strong growth in Greater China, partially offset by decline in North America. Sold volume for the three months ended March 31, 2025 amounted to 144.6 million liters compared to 132.4 million liters for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Produced finished goods volume for the first quarter of 2025 amounted to 143.1 million liters compared to 141.0 million liters for the same period last year.
We continued to experience revenue growth in the foodservice channel of 5.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the prior year period. In the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the retail channel accounted for 63.5% and 64.8% of our revenue, respectively, the foodservice channel accounted for 34.2% and 32.1% of our revenue, respectively, and the other channel, comprised primarily of e-commerce sales, accounted for 2.3% and 3.1% of our revenue, respectively.
Europe & International, North America and Greater China accounted for 54.5%, 30.3% and 15.2% of our total revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2025, respectively, as compared to 55.5%, 33.6% and 10.9% of our total revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2024, respectively.
The increase in sold volume growth in Europe & International was driven by continued expansion in core markets, as well as incremental contributions from new markets. The revenue growth was offset by a price/mix decline and a foreign currency exchange headwind. In North America, our sold volume and revenue decreased primarily due to lower volumes in the foodservice channel. Finally, Greater China revenue growth was primarily driven by sales to a new foodservice customer.
As a result of the strategic actions and restructuring activities we have undertaken to simplify our organizational structure, our number of employees has decreased by 25 employees, to 1,468 employees as of March 31, 2025 from 1,493 employees as of March 31, 2024. The average number of full-time consultants increased by 9 consultants to 84 consultants for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from 75 consultants for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold decreased by $10.1 million, or 6.9%, to $135.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $145.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily driven by an increase in supply chain efficiencies across all segments.
Gross profit and margin
Gross profit increased by $8.4 million, or 15.6%, to $62.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $53.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Gross profit margin increased by 4.5 percentage points, to 31.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from 27.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2025 in gross profit margin was primarily driven by improvements in supply chain efficiency across all segments.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses decreased by $0.2 million, or 5.4%, to $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and decreased as a share of revenues 2.2% and 2.3%, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $1.2 million, or 1.6%, to $77.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $78.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and decreased as a share of revenue to 39.2% from 39.5%, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the continued cost savings initiatives and was primarily driven by personnel-related costs. Customer distribution expense increased as a share of revenue to 6.7% from 6.4%.
Other operating income and (expenses), net
Other operating income and (expenses), net for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was income of $1.0 million comprised primarily of $0.8 in reversal of other exit costs related to the closure of the production facility in Singapore. Other operating income and (expenses), net for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was income of $1.1 million primarily driven by $0.9 million in reversal of previously recognized non-cash impairment charges related to the Company’s discontinued construction of its production facility in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas.
Finance income and (expenses), net
Finance income and (expenses), net for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was income of $9.4 million comprised primarily of fair value gains on Convertible Notes of $22.1 million, offset by net interest expenses of $13.6 million. The finance income and (expenses), net for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was an expense of $17.4 million comprised primarily of net interest expenses of $12.3 million and other financial expenses of $5.1 million.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense increased to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 36.5%. The main drivers of the effective tax rate relate to non-recognition of deferred tax assets on tax losses and tax effect relating to foreign exchange effects recognized in other comprehensive income. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 0.1%, with non-recognition of deferred tax assets on tax losses being the main driver of the effective tax rate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through cash generated by the issuance of equity and Convertible Notes, and from borrowings under our credit facilities. Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital are to finance working capital, make capital expenditures, invest in our organizational capabilities to support profitable growth and for general corporate purposes. We are using this combination of financing to fund our business. We expect our capital expenditures for 2025 to be in the range of $30 million to $35 million, related primarily to investments in our production facilities. The amount and allocation of our future capital expenditures depend on several factors, and our strategic investment priorities may change. Our recent decisions to discontinue construction at the production facility in China (Asia III), and close the production facility in Singapore, have impacted our projected capital expenditures. We believe that our sources of liquidity and capital will be sufficient to meet our existing business needs for at least the next 12 months. See the risk factor entitled “A failure to obtain necessary capital when needed on acceptable terms, or at all, may force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product manufacturing and development and other operations” under Part I, Item 3.D. “Risk Factors” of our 2024 Annual Report.
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents on hand and availability under our credit facilities. As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $74.4 million. Our cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in bank accounts.
In addition to the above, we had access to $211.4 million in undrawn bank facilities as of March 31, 2025.
Sustainable Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan B Credit Facility
On April 18, 2023, the Company’s existing Sustainable Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the “SRCF Agreement”) was amended and restated whereby, among other things, (i) the term of the SRCF Agreement was reset to three years and six months, with a one year uncommitted extension option, (ii) the lender group under the SRCF Agreement was reduced to JP Morgan SE, BNP Paribas SA, Bankfilial Sverige, Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A. and Nordea Bank Abp, filial i Sverige and the commitments under the SRCF Agreement were reduced to SEK 2,100 million (equivalent of $192.1 million), with an uncommitted incremental revolving facility option of up to SEK 500 million (equivalent of $45.7 million), (iii) the initial margin was reset at 4.00% p.a., (iv) the tangible solvency ratio, minimum EBITDA, minimum liquidity and total net leverage ratio financial covenants were reset, (v) the existing negative covenants were amended to further align with those included in the TLB Credit Agreement (as defined below), including in relation to incurrence of indebtedness, and (vi) the debt under the SRCF Agreement ranks pari passu with, and shares in the same security and guarantees from the Group as, the EIF Facility (as defined below) and the TLB Credit Agreement by way of the Intercreditor Agreement (as defined below).
On April 18, 2023, we entered into a Term Loan B Credit Agreement (the “TLB Credit Agreement”) with, amongst others, Silver Point Finance LLC as Syndication Agent and Lead Lender, J.P. Morgan SE, as Administrative Agent and Wilmington Trust (London) Limited as Security Agent, including a term loan facility of $130 million. The term of the TLB Credit Agreement is five years from the funding date of the term loan facility, and the term loan facility is subject to 1% amortization per annum paid in quarterly installments. Borrowings carry an interest rate of Term SOFR (with a floor of 2.50%) plus 7.5% or Base Rate (with floor of 3.50%) plus 6.5%. The TLB Credit Agreement contains maintenance financial covenants such as minimum EBITDA, total net leverage ratio and liquidity requirements. The TLB Credit Agreement also contains certain negative covenants, including but not limited to restrictions on indebtedness, limitations on liens, fundamental changes covenant, asset sales covenant, and restricted payments covenant. The debt under the TLB Credit Agreement ranks pari passu with, and shares in the same security and guarantees from the Group as, the EIF Facility (as defined below) and the SRCF Agreement by way of the Intercreditor Agreement. As of March 31, 2025, we had $130.7 million, including accrued interest, outstanding under the TLB Credit Agreement.
On April 18, 2023, the Company, Oatly AB, Oatly Inc. and other parties entered into an intercreditor agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) with, amongst others J.P. Morgan SE, as Senior Secured Term Facilities Agent, Wilmington Trust (London) Limited as Senior Secured Revolving Facilities Agent, Wilmington Trust (London) Limited as Common Security Agent and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association as trustee in respect of certain of the Convertible Notes (as defined below). The Intercreditor Agreement includes customary ranking, enforcement and turnover provisions intended to govern the relationship between the creditor groups.
In May 2023, (i) the SRCF Agreement was amended pursuant to an amendment letter to, among other things, ensure that the Convertible Notes constitute “PIPE Financing” under and as defined in the SRCF Agreement and (ii) the TLB Credit Agreement was amended pursuant to an amendment agreement to, among other things, ensure that the Convertible Notes constitute “Convertible Bonds” under and as defined in the TLB Credit Agreement.
On February 14, 2024, the SRCF Agreement and the TLB Credit Agreement were amended and restated to, among other things, (i) reset the financial covenant levels applying to the minimum EBITDA (including separate testing of the Group’s Europe & International EBITDA, the definition of which has subsequently been corrected by way of subsequent amendment), minimum liquidity and total net leverage ratio financial covenants and, in relation to the SRCF Agreement, the tangible solvency ratio financial covenant, (ii) revise certain financial definitions to permit additional adjustments for the purpose of the calculation of the financial covenants and (iii) provide certain flexibility for disposals of assets relating to our production facilities in Dallas Fort Worth, Texas, United States of America and Peterborough, United Kingdom. In addition, the existing draw-stop level for the SRCF Agreement, which requires that a certain amount of such facility remains undrawn for as long as the last twelve months’ (“LTM”) consolidated EBITDA of the Group is negative, has been increased from $50 million to $100 million, and the original 24 months’ non-call/make-whole period applying under the TLB Credit Agreement has been reset to apply for the 18 months following the amendment effective date (for the avoidance of doubt, the subsequent 12 months’ prepayment fee period still applies after the end of such 18-month period).
Under the amended SRCF Agreement and TLB Credit Agreement, the total net leverage ratio financial covenant, tested in respect of the LTM period ending on each quarter date, will start to apply in respect of the LTM period ending on December 31, 2026, and the applicable financial covenant level will be 4.50:1, stepping down to 3.50:1 for each LTM period ending in 2027 and to 3.00:1 for each LTM period in 2028. The reset quarterly tangible solvency ratio financial covenant level applying under the amended SRCF Agreement is 30%.
On February 11, 2025, the SRCF Agreement and TLB Credit Agreement were amended and restated to, among other things, (i) reset certain financial covenant levels applying to the minimum liquidity financial covenant, (ii) revise certain financial definitions to permit additional adjustments for the purpose of the calculation of certain financial covenants, including in relation to certain costs relating to the discontinuance of certain of the Group’s manufacturing facilities and (iii) provide certain flexibility for disposals of assets relating to the relevant manufacturing facilities.
The amended SRCF Agreement and TLB Credit Agreement impose limitations on drawdowns under the SRCF Agreement (other than under ancillary facilities, such as overdraft facilities and bank guarantees, which are exempted from these limitations) based on the last four quarters’ consolidated EBITDA of the Group, where, if last four quarters’ consolidated EBITDA of the Group is:
(i) less than $0, $0 may be drawn; and
(ii) equal to or greater than $75 million, the full amount of the existing facility may be drawn,
with interim steps in between, and increases requiring improved performance for two consecutive four quarter periods and reductions requiring decreased performance for one four quarter period.
Convertible Notes
On March 23, 2023 and April 18, 2023, we issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of 9.25% Convertible Senior PIK Notes due 2028 (the notes issued on March 23, 2023, the “U.S. Notes” and the notes issued on April 18, 2023, the “Swedish Notes” and, together with the U.S. Notes, the “Original Convertible Notes” and the Original Convertible Notes, together with the HH Notes (as defined below), the “Convertible Notes”). The U.S. Notes and the Swedish Notes have substantially identical economic terms.
Certain of our existing shareholders, Nativus Company Limited, Verlinvest S.A (“Verlinvest”) and Blackstone Funds, purchased $200.1 million aggregate principal amount of the Swedish Notes and other institutional investors purchased $99.9 million aggregate principal amount of the U.S. Notes. The investors paid an aggregate purchase price of $291 million, reflecting an original issue discount of 3%.
The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 9.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears in cash or in payment-in-kind, at our option, on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2023. The Convertible Notes will mature on September 14, 2028, unless earlier converted by the holders or required to be converted, repurchased or redeemed by us. The Original Convertible Notes were convertible at the option of each holder at an initial conversion price of $2.41 per ordinary share or per ADS, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments and conversion rate resets. On March 23, 2024, the conversion price of the Original Convertible Notes was reset to $1.81 in accordance with the terms thereof. On February 18, 2025, we completed a ratio change whereby the ratio of our ADSs to ordinary shares was changed from one ADS representing one ordinary share to one ADS representing twenty ordinary shares (the “ADS Ratio Change”). As a result of the ADS Ratio Change, the conversion price of the U.S. Notes was proportionately adjusted from $1.81 to $36.20. The conversion price of the U.S. Notes was reset again on March 23, 2025, to $27.20.
Because the Swedish Notes are convertible into ordinary shares rather than ADSs, the ADS Ratio Change did not affect the conversion price and conversion rate of the Swedish Notes. In order to ensure that the holders of the Swedish Notes remain in the same economic position as before the ADS Ratio Change and to preserve economic equivalency of the Swedish Notes with the U.S. Notes and the HH Notes, we, in accordance with the Swedish Terms, will interpret the definition of “Daily VWAP” therein to assume the trading price of 1/20 of an ADS. The conversion price of the Swedish Notes was reset again on March 23, 2025, to $1.36.
We may require conversion of the Convertible Notes if the last reported sale price of our ADSs equals or exceeds 200% of the applicable conversion price (in the case of the Swedish Notes, the definition of “Last Reported Sale Price” is interpreted to equal 1/20 of an ADS) on any 45 trading days during any 90 consecutive day period beginning on or after the third anniversary of the issuance of the U.S. Notes (with respect to the U.S. Notes and the HH Notes) and the Swedish Notes (with respect to the Swedish Notes).
On April 18, 2023, we, Oatly AB, Oatly Inc. and other parties entered into the Intercreditor Agreement which includes customary ranking, enforcement and turnover provisions intended to govern the relationship between the creditor groups and which affect the Convertible Notes.
On May 9, 2023, we entered into an agreement with an affiliate of Hillhouse Investment Management Ltd. (“Hillhouse”) to sell an additional $35 million in Convertible Senior PIK Notes due 2028 (the “HH Notes”), resulting in approximately $34 million in financing after reflecting an original issue discount of 3%. The economic terms of the HH Notes are substantially identical to the economic terms of the U.S. Notes, except (i) that the HH Notes were convertible at Hillhouse’s option at an initial conversion price of $2.52 per ADS, representing an approximate 17% premium to the last reported sale price of our ADSs on the Nasdaq Global Market on May 8, 2023, and (ii) with respect to the specified prices in connection with the conversion rate resets of the HH Notes. On March 23, 2024, the conversion price of the HH Notes was reset to $1.89 in accordance with the terms thereof. As a result of the ADS Ratio Change, the conversion price of the HH Notes was proportionately adjusted from $1.89 to $37.80. The conversion price of the HH Notes was reset again on March 23, 2025, to $28.20. In addition, on May 9, 2023, one of the existing holders of Swedish Notes and an affiliate of one of our shareholders, Verlinvest, agreed to sell and Hillhouse agreed to purchase from Verlinvest $15 million aggregate principal amount of Swedish Notes (the “Resale Notes”). The purchase and sale of the HH Notes and the Resale Notes closed on May 31, 2023. The HH Notes are also subject to the Intercreditor Agreement.
The terms of the Convertible Notes contain covenants limiting our ability to incur additional debt other than certain debt permitted under the TLB Credit Agreement, issue preferred stock, and incur convertible debt or subordinated debt, in each case without the consent of the holders of a majority of the Convertible Notes (as determined pursuant to the applicable terms of the Convertible Notes).
Other Credit Facilities
In October 2019, we entered into a European Investment Fund guaranteed three-year term loan facility of €7.5 million (equivalent of $8.0 million) with Svensk Exportkredit (the “EIF Facility”). The EIF Facility bears interest at EURIBOR + 2.75%. On October 6, 2022, the termination date of the EIF Facility was extended to October 11, 2025, and the amortization schedule thereunder revised, with amortizations in an amount of €0.3 million to be made on a quarterly basis effective January 11, 2023. The loan facility and interest margin remained unchanged.
On February 14, 2024, the EIF Facility was amended and restated to, where and to the extent applicable, implement equivalent amendments as those made to the SRCF Agreement on February 14, 2024.
On February 11, 2025, the EIF Facility was amended and restated to, where and to the extent applicable, implement equivalent amendments as those made to the SRCF Agreement on February 11, 2025.
On March 19, 2025, Oatly Shanghai Co., Ltd. entered into a new RMB 30 million (equivalent of $4.2 million) working capital credit facility with China Merchants Bank Co., Ltd. Shanghai Branch (the “CMB Credit Facility”). Individual utilizations under the CMB Credit Facility are subject to the lender’s approval. The CMB Credit Facility is available for one year, is unsecured, and includes creditor protection in the form of, among other things, representations, covenants (including negative pledge, restrictions on borrowings, investments and dispositions by Oatly Shanghai Co., Ltd., distributions by Oatly Shanghai Co., Ltd. and entry into transactions with its affiliates) and events of default. As of March 31, 2025, the Group had no utilized loan amounts under the amended CMB Credit Facility.
As of March 31, 2025, we had €0.9 million (equivalent of $1.0 million) outstanding under the EIF Facility, including accrued interest.

Net cash used in operating activities
Net cash flows used in operating activities decreased by $25.5 million, to $13.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $39.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which was driven by improved operating results and lower negative impact from changes in working capital.
Net cash (used in)/from investing activities
Net cash flows (used in)/from investing activities decreased by $14.5 million, to an outflow of $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to an inflow of $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 our investments in property, plant and equipment amounted to $6.7 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 our investments in property plant and equipment amounted to $5.7 million which was offset by proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment of $14.0 million related to sold assets due to the discontinued construction of our production facilities in Peterborough, United Kingdom and Dallas-Forth Worth, Texas.
Net cash used in financing activities
Net cash flows used in financing activities decreased by $3.7 million, to an outflow of $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from an outflow of $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which was primarily driven by lower payment of loan transaction costs in 2025.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
For information regarding our contractual commitments and contingencies, see Note 25 Commitments and Contingencies to our interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which are included elsewhere in this Report.
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
We use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Constant Currency Revenue as non-IFRS financial measures in assessing our operating performance and Free Cash Flow as a non-IFRS liquidity measure, and each in our financial communications:
“EBITDA” is defined as loss for the period adjusted to exclude, when applicable, income tax expense, finance expenses, finance income and depreciation and amortization expense.
“Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as loss for the period adjusted to exclude, when applicable, income tax expense, finance expenses, finance income, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, restructuring costs, impacts related to closure of production facility, discontinued construction of production facilities and non-controlling interests.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to loss for the period or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS. There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA rather than loss for the period, which is the most directly comparable IFRS measure. Some of these limitations are:
•
Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization expense and, although these are non-cash expenses, the assets being depreciated may have to be replaced in the future increasing our cash requirements;
•
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense, or the cash required to service our debt, which reduces cash available to us;
•
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax payments that reduce cash available to us;
•
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect recurring share-based compensation expense and, therefore, does not include all of our compensation costs;
•
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect restructuring costs that reduce cash available to us in future periods;
•
Adjusted EBITDA excludes impacts related to closure of production facility, although some of these may reduce cash available to us in future periods;
•
Adjusted EBITDA excludes impacts related to discontinued construction of production facilities, although some of these may reduce cash available to us in future periods;
•
Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with IFRS. Below we have provided a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to loss for the period, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS, for the periods presented.

“Constant Currency Revenue” is calculated by translating the current year reported revenue amounts into comparable amounts using the prior year reporting period’s average foreign exchange rates which have been provided by a third party. Constant Currency Revenue is a non-IFRS measure and is not a substitute for IFRS measures in assessing our overall financial performance.
Constant currency revenue is used to provide a framework in assessing how our business and geographic segments performed excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and we believe this information is useful to investors to facilitate comparisons and better identify trends in our business.

“Free Cash Flow” is defined as net cash flows used in operating activities less capital expenditures. We believe Free Cash Flow is a useful supplemental financial measure for us and investors in assessing our ability to pursue business opportunities and investments. Free Cash Flow is not a measure of our liquidity under IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to net cash flows used in operating activities.
Free Cash Flow is a non-IFRS measure and is not a substitute for IFRS measures in assessing our overall financial liquidity. Because Free Cash Flow is not a measurement determined in accordance with IFRS, and is susceptible to varying calculations, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Free Cash Flow should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported on our interim condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this document. Below we have provided a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to net cash flows used in operating activities for the periods presented.

Free cash flow was an outflow of $20.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to an outflow of $45.3 million during the prior year period. The improvement in free cash flow was driven by decreased net cash flows used in operating activities.

We did not have during the period presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including entities sometimes referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that were established for the purpose of facilitating off‑balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
We prepare our interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. Preparing these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Our actual results may differ from these estimates. Other companies in similar businesses may use different estimation policies and methodologies, which may impact the comparability of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows to those of other companies. Our critical accounting policies are described under the heading “Critical Accounting Estimates” in our 2024 Annual Report and the notes to the audited financial statements in our 2024 Annual Report. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are the same as those discussed in our 2024 Annual Report. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Refer to Note 2 Summary of accounting policies to our interim condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Report. Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk We are exposed to certain market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily consist of foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and commodity price risk. For further discussion and sensitivity analysis of these risks, see Note 3 Financial risk management to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in our 2024 Annual Report. Part II – OTHER INFORMATIONItem 1. Legal Proceedings From time to time, we may be involved in various claims and legal proceedings related to claims arising out of our operations. We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings, including any such proceedings that are pending or threatened, of which we are aware. Item 1A. Risk Factors There have been no material changes to our risk factors since those reported in Part I, Item 3.D. “Risk Factors” of our 2024 Annual Report. Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of ProceedsUse of Proceeds The information contained in Item 2 in Part II of the Company’s Report on Form 6-K filed on November 15, 2021 is incorporated by reference herein.
