Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

(unaudited)

(in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated)

Note 1. Corporate information

Oatly Group AB (the “Company” or the “parent”) is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in Sweden. The Company’s registered office is located at Ångfärjekajen 8, Malmö, Sweden.

Oatly Group AB and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) manufacture, distribute and sell oat-based products.

Note 2. Summary of accounting policies

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Oatly Group AB for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The Group has prepared the financial statements on the basis that it will continue to operate as a going concern, and there is a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and not less than 12 months from the end of the reporting period. In forming this judgment the Group has taken into consideration principal conditions, events and assumptions in relation to the Group’s ability to meet its financial covenants and other obligations. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.

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”) 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company, under the 2021 Plan, granted 1,330,234 RSUs, of which 352,857 were granted to members of key management, including the Executive Officers, and the Board of Directors. 391,148 RSUs vested during the period, of which 154,966 were to key management. 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. 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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company, under the 2021 Plan, granted no new stock options. 196,628 stock options vested during the period, of which 100,326 were to key management. 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.

The weighted-average ADS price at exercise for options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $18.08.

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 $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 (2024: $3.3 million) and $10.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 (2024: $10.1 million).

Interest expense on the Convertible Notes is the nominal coupon rate of 9.25%. Fair value changes on Convertible Notes contains the fair value changes less the coupon rate and changes in credit risk. See Note 13 Fair value of financial instruments and Note 21 Convertible Notes.

Other financial expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and nine months ended September 30, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $0.9 million and $6.2 million, respectively. Total tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $1.4 million and $3.2 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 1.4% and 4.8% respectively. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 4.2% and 3.0% respectively, 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 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 P2 Rules. The Group has applied this mandatory exception which did not have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

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.

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 nine months ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2025. See Note 12 Other non-current receivables.

The carrying amount of non-current liabilities to credit institutions in the Group is a reasonable approximation of fair value. See Note 19 Liabilities to credit institutions.

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.

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 Prior Intercreditor Agreement. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Group had no utilized loan amounts under the amended SRCF Agreement.

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%.

(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 September 30, 2025, the Group had no utilized loan amounts under the amended CMB Credit Facility.

On September 30, 2025, the Company issued SEK denominated senior secured floating rate bonds (the “Nordic Bonds”) under the terms and conditions entered into by the Company with Nordic Trustee & Agency AB (publ) on September 29, 2025. The Nordic Bonds have an initial issue amount of SEK 1,700 million and a tenor of four years, subject to certain early redemption features. Following the satisfaction of certain conditions, the proceeds from the Nordic Bonds were released to the Company from escrow on October 3, 2025, and used to prepay the TLB Credit Agreement in full, repurchase and cancel certain of the U.S. Notes (as defined below) and pay related transaction costs. The Nordic Bonds accrue interest at an interest rate equal to 3-month STIBOR plus 7.00 per cent. per annum applied to the nominal amount of the Nordic Bonds. The material terms of the Nordic Bonds include, among other things, (i) a mandatory total redemption of the Nordic Bonds on or before June 14, 2028 unless certain thresholds in respect of repurchase of Convertible Notes have been meet prior to March 14, 2028, (ii) a requirement to maintain cash and cash equivalent investments equal to the interest payable under the Nordic Bonds for the next three interest periods, (iii) a debt incurrence test which applies in respect of any subsequent tap issues under the terms of the Nordic Bonds or other indebtedness which ranks pari passu with the Nordic Bonds or is subordinated to the Nordic Bonds, and (iv) a distribution incurrence test which applies in respect of certain distributions by the Company to its shareholders.

On September 30, 2025, the Company entered into a SEK 750 million super senior revolving credit facility agreement with JP Morgan, Nordea and Rabobank (the “SSRCF”). The SRCF Agreement was cancelled, terminated, and replaced by the SSRCF on October 3, 2025. The material terms of the SSRCF reflect, among other things, the following differences compared to the SRCF Agreement: (i) a committed tenor of two years and six months, with a 15 month uncommitted extension option, (ii) removal of EBITDA based draw-stop limitations, annual clean down requirement and minimum “Europe & International” EBITDA financial covenant, (iii) minimum liquidity financial covenant is reset and tested quarterly instead of continuously and ceases to apply following the third quarter of 2027, (iv) minimum EBITDA financial covenant ceases to apply following the third quarter of 2027 and (v) total net leverage ratio financial covenant applies beginning in the third quarter of 2027. The SSRCF is sustainability-linked and the margin is subject to certain adjustments based on performance against three key performance indicators: (i) reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in production, (ii) reduction of water withdrawal in production and (iii) increase of percentage of women in team manager positions.

The debt under the Nordic Bonds and the SSRCF share in the same security and guarantees from material companies in the Group by way of an intercreditor agreement entered into by the Company on September 30, 2025 (the “New Intercreditor Agreement”), which replaced the Prior Intercreditor Agreement. The security provided for the SSRCF and the Nordic Bonds include share pledges, security over material intra-group loans, security over material bank accounts, security over material intellectual property, New York law all-asset security, English law debentures, Swedish business mortgages and Swedish real estate mortgage.

The Company’s Convertible Notes (as defined below) are also subject to the New Intercreditor Agreement, on terms substantially similar to those that applied under the Prior Intercreditor Agreement.

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)

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 nine months ended September 30, 2025, would be $11.8 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.

21


Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

(in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated)

 

If variable interest increased by 300 basis points the impact on loss before tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, would be $0.6 million. If variable interest decreased by 300 basis points the impact on loss before tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, would be $1.4 million, taking into account the floor of 2.5% in the term loan.

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, 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 “Prior 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 September 30, 2025, the parties to the Prior Intercreditor Agreement entered into the New Intercreditor Agreement which replaced the Prior Intercreditor Agreement. The New Intercreditor Agreement contains substantially similar ranking, enforcement and turnover provisions as the Prior Intercreditor Agreement in relation to 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 New 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 original form of the terms and conditions of the Nordic Bonds, 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).

On October 3, 2025, the Company completed a series of privately negotiated repurchases and cancellations of an aggregate amount of $42.9 million U.S. Notes in exchange for $24.6 million in cash and 898,134 ADSs.

(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, and after considering the repurchases and cancellations of an aggregate amount of $42.9 million Convertible Notes that occurred on October 3, 2025. For further details on the Convertible Notes, the conversion price reset mechanism and the repurchases and cancellations see Note 21 Convertible Notes and Note 26 Events after the end of the reporting period.

 

 

 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025, volume adjustments related to co-packer arrangements in Europe & International and North America resulted in volume shortfall expenses of $12.5 million. The shortfall expenses are presented in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statement of operations.

We may not be able to compete successfully in our highly competitive markets;
Consolidation of customers, the loss of a significant customer or the decrease of sales from a significant customer, could negatively impact our sales and profitability;
Sales of our oatmilk varieties contribute a significant portion of our revenue and a reduction in such sales would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations;
We continue to pursue an asset-light business model, which means we will rely heavily on our co-manufacturing partners;
Our strategic partnerships with our co-manufacturers may not be successful, which could adversely affect our operations and manufacturing strategy;
Failure by our logistics providers to deliver our products on time, or at all, could result in lost sales; We may not successfully ramp up operations at any of our facilities, or these facilities may not operate in accordance with our expectations;

26

If we fail to develop and maintain our brand, our business could suffer;
Failure to develop or introduce new products or successfully improve existing products may adversely affect our ability to continue to grow;
If we fail to cost-effectively acquire new customers and consumers or retain our existing customers and consumers, or if we fail to derive revenue from our existing customers consistent with our historical performance, our business could be materially adversely affected;
Consumer preferences for our products are difficult to predict and may change, and, if we are unable to respond quickly to new trends, our business may be adversely affected;
If we fail to manage our future growth effectively, including maintenance of our workforce, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected;

We rely on information technology systems and any inadequacy, failure or interruption of, or cybersecurity incidents affecting, those systems may harm our reputation and ability to effectively operate our business;
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;
The successful execution of the strategic review of the Company’s Greater China operations, the outcome of the strategic review and the market reaction thereto;
Our operations in China could expose us to substantial business, regulatory, political, financial and economic risks;
Our strategic reset in Asia may not be successful;
If we fail to comply with trade compliance and economic sanctions laws and regulations of the U.S., the EU and other applicable international jurisdictions, it could materially adversely affect our reputation and results of operations;
Packaging costs are volatile and may rise significantly, which may negatively impact the profitability of our business;
Fluctuations in our results of operations may impact, and may have a disproportionate effect on, our overall financial condition and results of operations;
Litigation or legal proceedings could expose us to significant liabilities or costs and have a negative impact on our reputation or business;

Failure to retain our senior management or to attract, train and retain qualified employees may adversely affect our operations or our ability to grow successfully;
If we cannot maintain our company culture or focus on our mission as we grow, our success and our business and competitive position may be harmed; Our insurance may not provide adequate levels of coverage against claims or we may be unable to find insurance with sufficient coverage at a reasonable cost;

Our business is affected by macroeconomic conditions, including rising inflation, interest rates and supply chain constraints;

Our largest shareholder has significant influence over us, including significant influence over decisions that require the approval of shareholders;
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;
You may not be able to exercise your right to vote the ordinary shares underlying your ADSs;
The Company may be subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert management attention;
We may not pay dividends on our ADSs in the future and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on the appreciation in the price of our ADSs;

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 on Organizational Structure and Supply Chain

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.

Strategic Review of China Business

We continue our strategic review of our Greater China business announced last quarter.

There is no definitive timetable for completing the strategic review. We do not intend to provide further updates unless and until the Board of Directors have approved a specific course of action or determines that additional disclosure is appropriate or required. We caution that there can be no assurances that the process will result in any transaction or strategic change.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2025, on a consolidated level, oatmilk accounted for 90% of our revenue (2024: 89%).

29


 

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 the strategic review of the Greater China segment, closure of production facility, discontinued construction of certain production facilities and net foreign exchange gains (losses) on operating related activities.

30


 

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2025

Revenue

Revenue increased $14.8 million, or 7.1%, to $222.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, net of sales discounts, rebates and trade promotions, compared to $208.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Excluding a foreign currency exchange tailwind of $6.8 million, revenue for the third quarter was $216.0 million, or a increase of 3.8% 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 another quarter of consistent performance in Europe & International and by a strong quarter in Greater China, partially offset by decline in North America, driven mainly by reduction in revenue to the segment’s largest foodservice customer. Sold volume for the three months ended September 30, 2025 amounted to 150.6 million liters compared to 141.3 million liters for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Produced finished goods volume for the third quarter of 2025 amounted to 147.6 million liters compared to 148.0 million liters for the same period last year.

We continued to experience revenue growth in the retail channel of 12.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the prior year period. In the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the retail channel accounted for 65.0% and 62.0% of our revenue, respectively, the foodservice channel accounted for 33.3% and 34.5% of our revenue, respectively, and the other channel, comprised primarily of e-commerce sales, accounted for 1.7% and 3.5% of our revenue, respectively.

31


 

Europe & International, North America and Greater China accounted for 55.3%, 27.9% and 16.8% of our total revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to 52.8%, 33.2% and 14.0% of our total revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

Revenue increased $19.3 million, or 3.2%, to $628.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net of sales discounts, rebates and trade promotions, compared to $609.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Excluding a foreign currency exchange tailwind of $10.7 million, revenue was $618.0 million, or an increase of 1.4% 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 revenue growth was primarily driven by volume growth across the Greater China and Europe & International segments, partially offset by volume decline in North America as well as price/mix declines in the Europe & International and Greater China segments. Sold volume for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 amounted to 435.5 million liters compared to 410.2 million liters for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Produced finished goods volume for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 amounted to 433.4 million liters compared to 430.9 million liters for the same period last year.

We continued to experience revenue growth in the retail channel of 7.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the prior year period. In the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the retail channel accounted for 64.8% and 62.4% of our revenue, respectively, the foodservice channel accounted for 33.1% and 34.1% of our revenue, respectively, and the other channel, comprised primarily of e-commerce sales, accounted for 2.1% and 3.5% of our revenue, respectively.

Europe & International, North America and Greater China accounted for 55.5%, 29.5% and 15.0% of our total revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to 53.5%, 33.5% and 13.0% of our total revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 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 assisted by foreign exchange tailwinds but partially offset by a price/mix decline. In North America, our sold volume and revenue decreased primarily due to lower volumes in the foodservice channel. Finally, Greater China revenue growth was driven by both the foodservice and retail channels.

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 89 employees, to 1,386 employees as of September 30, 2025 from 1,475 employees as of September 30, 2024. The average number of full-time consultants increased by 12 consultants to 88 consultants for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from 76 consultants for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold increased by $10.5 million, or 7.2%, to $156.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $146.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Cost of goods sold decreased by $2.1 million, or 0.5%, to $432.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $434.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily driven by a growth in volumes and FX headwinds, partially offset by supply chain efficiencies. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily driven by an increase in supply chain efficiencies, especially in the Europe & International segment.

Gross profit and margin

Gross profit increased by $4.3 million, or 7.0%, to $66.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $62.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Gross profit margin was stable at 29.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Gross profit increased by $21.4 million, or 12.3%, to $196.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $174.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Gross profit margin increased by 2.5 percentage points, to 31.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from 28.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The stability in gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was explained by improvements in supply chain efficiency in Europe & International, offset by declines due to lower volumes in North America, and negative mix impact in Greater China. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the increase in gross profit margin was primarily driven by improvements in supply chain efficiency, especially in the Europe & International segment.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses decreased by $6.3 million, or 58.4%, to $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $10.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and decreased as a share of revenues 2.0% and 5.2%, respectively.

Research and development expenses decreased by $12.9 million, or 48.8%, to $13.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $26.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and decreased as a share of revenues 2.2% and 4.3%, respectively.

The decrease for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was mainly driven by expenses in the prior year period related to a new product launch issue in the North America segment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $4.6 million, or 5.8%, to $75.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $79.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and decreased as a share of revenue to 33.7% from 38.3%, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the continued cost savings initiatives, which were partially offset by foreign exchange headwinds. Customer distribution expense increased as a share of revenue to 6.4% from 6.1%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $6.0 million, or 2.5%, to $236.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $242.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and decreased as a share of revenue to 37.7% from 39.8%, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the various cost restructuring activities implemented since early 2023, which were partially offset by foreign exchange headwinds. Customer distribution expense increased as a share of revenue to 6.5% from 6.2%.

Other operating income and (expenses), net

Other operating income and (expenses), net for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was an expense of $3.6 million comprised primarily of $3.5 million in costs for our strategic review of our Greater China segment. Other operating income and (expenses), net for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was an expense of $0.4 million.

Other operating income and (expenses), net for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was an expense of $3.7 million comprised primarily of $4.9 million in costs for our strategic of our Greater China segment, offset by mainly $0.8 million in reversal of other exit costs related to the closure of the production facility in Singapore. Other operating income and (expenses), net for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was an expense of $2.2 million comprised primarily of impacts related to the discontinued construction of our production facilities in Peterborough, UK, and Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas.

Finance income and (expenses), net

Finance income and (expenses), net for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was an expense of $47.6 million comprised primarily of fair value losses on Convertible Notes of $32.2 million and net interest expenses of $15.2 million. The finance income and (expenses), net for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was an expense of $4.3 million comprised primarily of net interest expenses of $13.3 million, offset by fair value gains on Convertible Notes of $5.3 million and net foreign exchange gain of $4.5 million.

Finance income and (expenses), net for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was an expense of $70.1 million comprised primarily of net interest expenses of $43.7 million, fair value losses on Convertible Notes of $18.7 million, and net foreign exchange loss of $5.0 million. The finance income and (expenses), net for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was an expense of $11.3 million comprised primarily of net interest expenses of $38.6 million and other financial expenses of $5.9 million, offset by fair value gains on Convertible Notes of $28.3 million and net foreign exchange gain of $6.1 million.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense decreased to $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was 1.4%. 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.

33


 

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was 4.2%, with non-recognition of deferred tax assets on tax losses being the main driver of the effective tax rate.

Income tax expense increased to $6.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 4.8%. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 3.0%, 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 approximately $20 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 September 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $58.9 million. Our cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in bank accounts.

In addition to the above, we had access to $224.0 million in undrawn bank facilities as of September 30, 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 Prior 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 Prior Intercreditor Agreement. As of September 30, 2025, we had $130.1 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 “Prior 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 Prior 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.

34


 

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.

Nordic Bonds

On September 30, 2025, the Company issued SEK denominated senior secured floating rate bonds (the “Nordic Bonds”) under the terms and conditions entered into by the Company with Nordic Trustee & Agency AB (publ) on September 29, 2025. The Nordic Bonds have an initial issue amount of SEK 1,700 million and a tenor of four years, subject to certain early redemption features. Following the satisfaction of certain conditions, the proceeds from the Nordic Bonds were released to the Company from escrow on October 3, 2025, and used to prepay the TLB Credit Agreement in full, repurchase and cancel certain of the U.S. Notes (as defined below) and pay related transaction costs. The Nordic Bonds accrue interest at an interest rate equal to 3-month STIBOR plus 7.00 per cent. per annum applied to the nominal amount of the Nordic Bonds. The material terms of the Nordic Bonds include, among other things, (i) a mandatory total redemption of the Nordic Bonds on or before June 14, 2028 unless certain thresholds in respect of repurchase of Convertible Notes have been meet prior to March 14, 2028, (ii) a requirement to maintain cash and cash equivalent investments equal to the interest payable under the Nordic Bonds for the next three interest periods, (iii) a debt incurrence test which applies in respect of any subsequent tap issues under the terms of the Nordic Bonds or other indebtedness which ranks pari passu with the Nordic Bonds or is subordinated to the Nordic Bonds, and (iv) a distribution incurrence test which applies in respect of certain distributions by the Company to its shareholders.

Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility

On September 30, 2025, the Company entered into a SEK 750 million super senior revolving credit facility agreement with JP Morgan, Nordea and Rabobank (the “SSRCF”). The SRCF Agreement was cancelled, terminated, and replaced by the SSRCF on October 3, 2025. The material terms of the SSRCF reflect, among other things, the following differences compared to the SRCF Agreement: (i) a committed tenor of two years and six months, with a 15 months’ uncommitted extension option, (ii) removal of EBITDA based draw-stop limitations, annual clean down requirement and minimum “Europe & International” EBITDA financial covenant, (iii) minimum liquidity financial covenant is reset and tested quarterly instead of continuously and ceases to apply following the third quarter of 2027, (iv) minimum EBITDA financial covenant ceases to apply following the third quarter of 2027 and (v) total net leverage ratio financial covenant applies beginning in the third quarter of 2027.

35


 

The SSRCF is sustainability-linked and the margin is subject to certain adjustments based on performance against three key performance indicators: (i) reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in production, (ii) reduction of water withdrawal in production and (iii) increase of percentage of women in team manager positions.

Security and Intercreditor Arrangements for Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility and Nordic Bonds

The debt under the Nordic Bonds and the SSRCF share in the same security and guarantees from material companies in the Group by way of an intercreditor agreement entered into by the Company on September 30, 2025 (the “New Intercreditor Agreement”), which replaced the Prior Intercreditor Agreement. The security provided for the SSRCF and the Nordic Bonds include share pledges, security over material intra-group loans, security over material bank accounts, security over material intellectual property, New York law all-asset security, English law debentures, Swedish business mortgages and Swedish real estate mortgage.

The Company’s Convertible Notes (as defined below) are also subject to the New Intercreditor Agreement, on terms substantially similar to those that applied under the Prior Intercreditor Agreement.

 

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 Prior 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 September 30, 2025, the parties to the Prior Intercreditor Agreement entered into the New Intercreditor Agreement which replaced the Prior Intercreditor Agreement. The New Intercreditor Agreement contains substantially similar ranking, enforcement and turnover provisions as the Prior Intercreditor Agreement in relation to 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.

36


 

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 New Intercreditor Agreement.

The terms of the Convertible Notes contain covenants limiting our ability to incur additional debt other than certain debt permitted under the original form of the terms and conditions of the Nordic Bonds, 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).

On October 3, 2025, we completed a series of privately negotiated repurchases and cancellations of an aggregate amount of $42.9 million U.S. Notes in exchange for $24.6 million in cash and 898,134 ADSs.

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.

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 September 30, 2025, the Group had no utilized loan amounts under the amended CMB Credit Facility.

As of September 30, 2025, we had €0.3 million (equivalent of $0.4 million) outstanding under the EIF Facility, including accrued interest. On October 3, 2025, the EIF Facility was prepaid in full.

Net cash used in operating activities

Net cash flows used in operating activities decreased by $86.8 million, to $17.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $104.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which was primarily driven by improved operating result and improvements in net working capital.

Net cash used in investing activities

Net cash flows used in investing activities increased by $9.2 million, to an outflow of $13.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to an outflow of $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 our investments in property, plant and equipment amounted to $12.1 million.

37


 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 our investments in property plant and equipment amounted to $27.5 million which was offset by proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment of $24.4 million related to sold assets due to the discontinued construction of our production facilities in Peterborough, UK and Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas. Net cash used in financing activities Net cash flows used in financing activities decreased by $11.9 million, to an outflow of $12.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from an outflow of $24.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which was primarily driven by lower repayment of lease liabilities 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, costs related to the strategic review of the Greater China business, impacts related to the closure of production facility, discontinued construction of production facilities, expenses related to a new product launch issue 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 does not reflect costs related to the strategic review of the Greater China business that reduce cash available to us; • Adjusted EBITDA excludes impacts related to the 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; • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect expenses related to a new product launch issue that reduced cash available to us; • 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.

39


 

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 $31.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to an outflow of $133.1 million during the prior year period. The improvement in free cash flow was driven by decreased net cash flows used in operating activities and lower capital expenditures.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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.

41


 

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 and Part II, Item 1A of our Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K, filed with the SEC on June 23, 2025 other than as noted below. Certain of the following additional or amended risk factors have been included for the sake of completeness to align with the risk factors that accompanied our issuance of the Nordic Bonds. Capitalized terms in this Item 1A not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to them in the 2024 Annual Report.

The Strategic Review of our China Business may not be successful

As previously disclosed, we have initiated a strategic review of our Greater China business. The review will consider a broad range of strategic options to enhance shareholder value, including a potential carve-out of the Greater China segment. There is no guarantee that this strategic review will be successful or will yield results that enhance shareholder value. The strategic review will continue to take time and the attention of management, and may take longer than expected. There are no assurances that the process will result in any transaction or strategic change. If the strategic review is not successful, this will likely have a negative result on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We have incurred substantial indebtedness that may decrease our business flexibility, access to capital, and/or increase our future borrowing costs

In March and April 2023, we issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Original Convertible Notes in private offerings, of which $200.1 million were Swedish Notes and $99.9 million were U.S. Notes. In May 2023, we issued an additional $35.0 million in aggregate principal amount of HH Notes in a private offering. In addition, in April 2023, we incurred $130.0 million of indebtedness under the TLB Credit Agreement. We also amended and restated our existing SRCF Agreement documenting commitments of SEK 2,100.0 million (equivalent to $192.1 million), with an uncommitted incremental revolving facility option of up to SEK 500.0 million (equivalent to $45.7 million). On September 30, 2025, we issued the Nordic Bonds with an initial issue amount of SEK 1,700 million and entered into the SEK 750 million SSRCF. On October 3, 2025, we prepaid the TLB Credit Agreement in full, cancelled, terminated, and replaced the SRCF Agreement, and repurchased and cancelled an aggregate amount of $42.9 million U.S. Notes.

Our current indebtedness and any future additional indebtedness may limit our ability to borrow additional funds for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general business purposes, limit our ability to use our cash flows or obtain additional financing for future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general business purposes, require us to use a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to make debt service payments, limit our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business and industry, place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our less-leveraged competitors and increase our vulnerability to the impact of adverse economic and industry conditions.

42


 

We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt, including the Convertible Notes, through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved in any such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material. Further, any such purchases or exchanges may result in us acquiring and retiring a substantial amount of such indebtedness, which could impact the trading liquidity of such indebtedness.

Covenants in our debt agreements may restrict our operating activities and adversely affect our financial condition

The terms and conditions of the Nordic Bonds and the SSRCF contain certain covenants, including negative covenants such as restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, acquisitions and asset disposals and maintenance financial covenants in the form of minimum EBITDA, minimum liquidity, tangible solvency ratio and total net leverage ratio covenants (in the SSRCF) and a requirement to maintain cash and cash equivalent investments equal to the interest payable under the Nordic Bonds for the next three interest periods (in the Nordic Bonds). These covenants may limit our operational flexibility and our investment activities. Moreover, if we breach any of the covenants in such debt agreements, and such breach is not remedied within any applicable remedy period (if any) or otherwise waived, our creditors may accelerate the relevant indebtedness and require us to repay and/or redeem, as applicable, the indebtedness immediately, even in the absence of a payment default, and enforce security. If any financial covenant breach is cured by way of issuance of additional equity, our existing shareholders’ ownership may be materially diluted. These credit agreements include customary cross default provisions, pursuant to which a default under one of the agreements may trigger a default also under the other, effectively enabling both groups of creditors to accelerate the relevant indebtedness and require us to repay the indebtedness immediately, even in the absence of a payment default, and enforce security.

In addition, the indentures and terms and conditions governing the Convertible Notes contain covenants limiting our ability to incur additional debt other than certain debt permitted under the terms and conditions of the Nordic Bonds (without giving effect to any future amendment thereof), 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 indenture or terms and conditions governing the Convertible Notes).

Any default under any of the covenants in our debt agreements may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, our results of operations, our ability to meet our obligations, and the market value of our ADSs.

We may not pay dividends on our ADSs in the future and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on the appreciation in the price of our ADS

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our ADSs and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends on our ADSs in the foreseeable future. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant. In addition, our ability to pay dividends is, and may be, limited by covenants in our current indebtedness and any future indebtedness we or our subsidiaries may incur. Therefore, any return on investment in our ADSs is solely dependent upon the appreciation of the price of our ADSs on the open market, which may not occur. See Item 8.A. “Financial Information—Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information—Dividend Policy”.

Transactions relating to the Convertible Notes may dilute the ownership interests of holders of our ADSs or ordinary shares and may adversely impact the value of such securities

The interest rate on the Convertible Notes is fixed at 9.25% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2023. While we have an option to pay interest in cash or in-kind, restrictions under the terms and conditions of the Nordic Bonds and SSRCF prevent us from paying interest in cash for so long as those facilities are outstanding. As a result, we expect to pay interest in kind for the foreseeable future.

Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture governing the Original U.S. Notes and the Swedish Terms, the conversion price of the Convertible Notes (other than the HH Notes) was adjusted from $2.41 to $1.81 on March 23, 2024. On February 18, 2025, we completed the ADS Ratio Change. As a result of the ADS Ratio Change, the conversion price of the U.S. Notes (other than the HH Notes) was proportionately adjusted from $1.81 to $36.20. The conversion price of the U.S. Notes (other than the HH Notes) was further adjusted on March 23, 2025 to $27.20 pursuant to the terms of the Indenture governing the U.S. Notes.

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 Original 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.

43


 

The conversion price of the Swedish Notes was adjusted on March 23, 2025 to $1.36 pursuant to the Swedish Terms.

Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture governing the HH Notes, the conversion price of the HH Notes was adjusted from $2.52 to $1.89 on March 23, 2024. As a result of the ADS Ratio Change, the conversion price of the HH Notes was proportionately adjusted from $1.89 to $37.80. Such conversion price was further adjusted on March 23, 2025 to $28.20 pursuant to the terms of the Indenture governing the HH Notes.

The conversion price adjustments under the Original U.S. Notes and the HH Notes, as well as the adjusted definition of “Daily VWAP” under the Swedish Terms, resulting from the ADS Ratio Change ensure the consideration received upon conversion of the Convertible Notes remains economically equivalent as immediately prior to the ADS Ratio Change.

The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment for certain customary events or distributions and is also subject to adjustment in the event that we conduct an offering of our equity or equity-linked securities at a discount of more than 5% to the trading price of our ADSs.

The conversion of the Convertible Notes at the election of their holders or, if certain conditions are met, at our election would result in the issuance of ordinary shares and ADSs, including pursuant to the payment of “payment-in-kind” interest and the foregoing adjustments that could have a material adverse effect on the value of our outstanding ordinary shares and ADSs. In addition, in the event that we are entitled to require the conversion of the Convertible Notes, we are also required to pay an amount equal to the amount of additional interest that would accrue under the Convertible Notes through their maturity.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that our current and future net interest deteriorates due to adverse changes in interest rates. The market interest rate may be subject to significant fluctuations. The degree to which such interest rates may vary is uncertain and presents a risk to our financial position. The Nordic Bonds and the SSRCF have a floating interest rate based on 3m STIBOR (or equivalent reference rate for loans under the SSRCF denominated in other currencies). Accordingly, an increase in STIBOR (or other relevant reference rate) would increase our future interest payments, adversely affecting our financial position. Such increase would lead to a decrease in our cash flow for other purposes such as investments, acquisitions and other business purposes and put pressure on our liquidity, which may affect our financial position and ability to meet our payment obligations under our indebtedness.

To manage interest rate exposure, we may enter into interest derivative contracts. However, it is possible that any such future hedging arrangements will not render us sufficient protection against adverse effects of interest rate fluctuations. Moreover, the success of any hedging activity is highly dependent on the accuracy of our assumptions and forecasts. All erroneous estimations that affect such assumptions and forecasts could have a negative effect on our operations, financial position, earnings and results.

Currency risk

Since we operate in various countries, a large portion of our expenses and a portion of our sales are in currencies other than SEK, primarily USD and EUR but further including GBP and CNY. Our costs and the corresponding sales may be denominated in different currencies, and our results of operations may consequently be impacted by currency exchange rate fluctuations. We present our financial statements in USD. As a result, we translate the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of all of our operations with functional currencies other than USD into USD at then-applicable exchange rates. Consequently, increases or decreases in the value of the USD currency may affect the value of these items with respect to our non-USD businesses in our consolidated financial statements, even if their values have not changed in their original currency. These translations could significantly affect the comparability of our results between financial periods or result in significant changes to the carrying value of the our assets, liabilities and equity. We have currently not entered into any hedging arrangements in respect of currency fluctuations for such translation risks.

Our future currency hedging arrangements or the direction of a future currency hedging policy is uncertain and to the extent currency exposure is not covered by hedging or any hedging is insufficient to cover future fluctuations in currency, we may be subject to considerable losses which may have a significant impact on our profitability.

Liquidity risk

Our ability to make scheduled payments on the principal of, to pay interest on, or to refinance our indebtedness will depend in part on our cash flows from operations, which depend upon the success of its products as well as regulatory, economic, financial, competitive, and other factors. We may not generate a level of cash flows from operations sufficient to permit us to meet our debt service obligations. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to service our debt, we may be required to sell assets, refinance all or a portion of our existing debt, obtain additional financing, or obtain additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. Furthermore, if our liquidity sources prove to be insufficient, restrictions in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Nordic Bonds and our financing agreement relating to incurring new financial indebtedness, may affect our ability to remedy potential liquidity insufficiencies.

44


 

There can be no assurance that any refinancing will be possible or that any asset sales or additional financing can be completed on acceptable terms or at all. As the terms and conditions of the Nordic Bonds and financing agreements further include limitations in respect of granting security, it may be difficult for us to attract such financing on competitive market terms or at all. Thus, there is a risk that our liquidity sources prove to be insufficient or that additional liquidity sources in the form of financial indebtedness cannot be obtained, which could have a materially adverse effect on the possibility to meet current and/or future liabilities entailing, for instance, costs for obtaining additional financing on short notice, claims from creditors due to defaults, and, ultimately, a risk for bankruptcy proceedings relating to entities within the Group.

We maintain our cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions, often in balances that exceed federally insured limits. If financial institutions where we hold deposits were to fail, we could be exposed to a potential loss of deposits, and our ability to raise capital may be impacted by these events

The Company maintains the majority of its cash and cash equivalents in accounts with major U.S. and multi-national financial institutions, and our deposits at certain of these institutions exceed insured limits. Market conditions can impact the viability of these institutions. In the event of failure of any of the financial institutions where we maintain our cash and cash equivalents, there can be no assurance that we would be able to access uninsured funds in a timely manner or at all. In addition, weakness and volatility in capital markets caused by any bank failures in the future, which could adversely affect our ability to access capital on favorable terms in the future, or at all. Any inability to access funds we have deposited at financial institutions or any inability to raise capital when we require it could adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations and our ability to meet our payment obligations under our indebtedness.

Consolidation of customers, the loss of a significant customer or the decrease of sales from a significant customer, could negatively impact our sales and profitability

Supermarkets, grocers and other retailers in North America, the EU and Asia continue to consolidate. This consolidation has produced larger, more sophisticated organizations with increased negotiating and buying power that are able to resist price increases, as well as operate with lower inventories, decrease the number of brands that they carry and increase their emphasis on private label products, all of which could negatively impact our business or put pressure on our company to lower our prices, which could negatively impact our margins, financial condition and results of operations. The consolidation of retail customers also increases the risk that a significant adverse impact on their business could have a corresponding material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In the year ended December 31, 2024, one customer in the foodservice channel accounted for approximately 10% of our total revenue. Our five largest customers accounted for approximately 28% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024. The loss of any large customer, the significant reduction of purchasing levels or prices paid for our products, the cancellation of any business from a large customer for an extended length of time or volatility in forecasting or purchasing could negatively impact our sales and profitability, as well as expose us to credit risks.

Furthermore, as retailers consolidate, they may reduce the number of branded products they offer in order to accommodate private label products and generate more competitive terms from branded suppliers. Consequently, our financial condition and results of operations may fluctuate significantly from period to period based on the actions of one or more significant retailers. A retailer may take actions that affect us for reasons that we cannot always anticipate or control, such as their financial condition, changes in their business strategy or operations, the introduction of competing products or the perceived quality of our products. Despite operating in different channels, our retailers sometimes compete for the same consumers. Because of actual or perceived conflicts resulting from this competition, retailers may take actions that negatively affect us. Any of the foregoing risks as a result of consolidation of our retail customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Volatile, negative or uncertain macro-economic or geopolitical conditions may negatively affect the Group’s operations and financial performance

Deterioration in the global macro-economic and geopolitical environment, including political instability, increased nationalist and protectionist behavior of governments, terrorist activities, military conflict and war, social unrest, natural disasters, extreme weather events, power outages and high energy costs, communications and other infrastructure failures, pandemics and other global health risks, could have a material adverse impact on the global economy, and our business, net assets, financial condition and operational results. For example, the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and events in Gaza and the trade conflict and tensions between the United States and China, have or in recent years have had, a direct and material impact on the global economy. The sanctions imposed on Russia as well as Russian banks, companies and individuals and Russia’s countersanctions or other retaliatory measures and the heightened tensions between Russia and the rest of Europe and the United States have had, and could continue to have, a material adverse effect on the global economy, and thereby have an impact on us and our business and operational results despite the fact that we do not, and have not had, any business or operations in Russia.

45


 

In the event of financial turmoil affecting the banking system and financial markets, or in the event of additional consolidation of the financial services industry or significant failure of financial services institutions, there could be a tightening of the credit markets, decreased liquidity and extreme volatility in fixed income, credit, currency, and equity markets. In addition, a recession in Western or global markets could have a significant impact on our business, including potential restructurings, bankruptcies, liquidations and other unfavorable events for our customers, suppliers, logistics providers, other service providers and the financial institutions that are counterparties to our credit facilities and other derivative transactions. If third parties on which we rely for equipment and services, including but not limited to suppliers and logistics providers, are unable to overcome financial difficulties resulting from a deterioration of global economic conditions or if our counterparties’ credit facilities or our derivative transactions do not perform their obligations as intended, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

In particular, economic and political factors may adversely affect customer confidence, disposable income and spending, as well as other factors affecting customer climate, including temporary or permanent changes in customer habits.

Further, global conflicts could increase costs and limit availability of fuel and energy we are dependent upon to conduct our business operations. For example, the uncertainty of future relations between the United States, Ukraine and Russia (as described above), has resulted in many broader economic impacts such as sanctions and bans against Russia and Russian products imported into certain countries in Europe and the United States. Such sanctions and bans have impacted and may continue to impact commodity pricing such as fuel and energy costs, making it more expensive for us and our partners to deliver products to our customers. Further sanctions, bans or other economic actions in response to the ongoing war in Ukraine or in response to any other global conflict could result in an increase in costs, further disruptions to our supply chain, and a lack of consumer confidence resulting in reduced demand.

Moreover, changes to international trade policies, treaties and tariffs, or the perception that these changes could occur, could adversely impact the financial and economic conditions of some or all of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Any trade tensions or trade wars, for example, between the United States and China, the United States and Canada, the United States and Mexico, the United States and the EU, or news and rumors of potential retaliatory tariffs, could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, the impact of such geopolitical tensions and the negative impact of relationships between governments in countries where we currently operate or conducts business and the United States, including pursuant to policies of the new U.S. administration, and further escalation of geopolitical tensions related to the war between Russia and Ukraine, the ongoing conflict in the Middle East or disruptions to international shipping resulting from the conflict in the Red Sea could result in, among other things, broader impacts that expand into other markets, cyberattacks, supply chain and logistics disruptions, and changes to foreign exchange rates and financial markets, any of which may adversely affect our business and supply chain.

The Group’s geographical footprint

We consist of 37 legal entities incorporated in 20 different jurisdictions, including the Nordics, and whereas the majority of our revenues originate from subsidiaries in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, China and Sweden, our operations are subject to risks inherent in international business operations, including, but not limited to, general economic conditions in each country in which we operate, overlapping differing tax structures, problems related to management of an organization spread over various countries, unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, compliance with a variety of local laws and regulations, and longer accounts receivable payment cycles in certain countries as well as the generally prevailing global economic climate, including factors such as, inter alia, inflation, levels of employment, real disposable income, salaries, wage rates (including any increase as a result of payroll cost inflation or governmental action to increase minimum wages or contributions to pension provisions), and interest rates. If any of these risks or factors materializes, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
