Business Overview The information set forth under the following headings of the 2025 Swedish Annual Report (adjusted version) is incorporated herein by reference: • Financial Report • This is Ericsson • Strategy • Leading mobile networks to drive an AI-powered world • Leadership in mobile networks • Scaling the mobile platform • Strategic foundation • 150 years of connectivity • Board of Directors’ Report • Financial highlights – Research and Development (R&D) expenses • Financial highlights – Seasonality • Business results – Segments • Business results – Market areas Ericsson’s value chain spans the extraction and processing of raw materials used in electronic components to the delivery of communication services for end users. It comprises five main stages: global electronics manufacturing, direct suppliers, own operations, direct customers, and consumers and end users. As is typical for large multinational companies, Ericsson’s value chain is complex and interconnected, which creates challenges for visibility and traceability beyond the first tier of suppliers and customers. In 2025, the Company had approximately 15,000 active direct suppliers, of which approximately 200 provided materials and components used in Ericsson’s hardware. The global electronics manufacturing value chain begins with the extraction of natural resources used in electronic hardware. These materials are refined, traded and manufactured into parts and components that are assembled into finished products. Ericsson’s regional supply hubs consolidate material from component suppliers and distribute it to production sites. Ericsson’s supply and component hubs are located in Sweden, Belgium, Germany, The Netherlands, the United States, Mexico, the United Arab Emirates, India, Malaysia, Singapore and China. • Notes to the consolidated financial statements • Note B1 – Segment information • Risk factors • Risks related to business activities and industry • Risks related to Ericsson’s financial condition • Risks related to legal and regulatory matters • Risks related to cybersecurity matters • Risks related to environmental, social and business conduct matters • Corporate Governance Report • Regulation Disclosure pursuant to Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 (“ITRA”) In 2018, Ericsson initiated its wind down in Iran, and, in 2025, had no business engagements in Iran. Ericsson is continuing its efforts to liquidate its local legal entity, in accordance with applicable sanctions and local law requirements. Ericsson does not normally allocate gross revenue or net income on a country-by-country or activity-by-activity basis, other than as set forth in Ericsson’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. However, in 2025, Ericsson has estimated that its gross revenue and net profits attributable to Iran were negligible. 3 Table of Contents Before 2018, Ericsson had arranged performance bonds or similar financial guarantees to secure Ericsson’s performance of obligations under the commercial agreements Ericsson had entered into relating to the business in Iran. In such instances, Ericsson usually engaged its banks outside Iran, who in turn engaged local banks in the country. These local banks include Tejarat Bank, Melli Bank, Parsian Bank and Saderat Bank. Although some bonds and guarantees are still in place, the performance bonds have been frozen by the EU banks. One local performance bond for the local legal entity has been renewed with Saman Bank. Existing bank guarantees issued to Ericsson by Maskan Bank, Parsian Bank, Post Bank of Iran, Bank Mellat and Tejarat Bank (local banks in Iran) to secure Iranian customer payment obligations related to earlier business engagements were renewed.
