Outlook for the year 2026

PRESIDENT AND CEO ANTTI NIITYNPÄÄ:

The year 2025 was a year of improving profitability.
We focused on customer profitability, developing our product offering, and utilizing data in service production and customer reporting. We performed excellently in a challenging market, and our business profitability indicators improved compared to the previous year. We were able to maintain our market shares and improve our profitability in a highly competitive environment.

In 2025, we invested in occupational safety and in our skilled people by renewing the organization and strengthening it with new roles, increasing training and employees’ sustainability competences, as well as developing leadership. The management system of our Swedish organization was renewed during the year.
We sharpened our product offering to better meet the needs of our target customer segments. Our NPS score, reflecting customer satisfaction, rose to 18.

We improved our data capabilities, focusing particularly on developing data‑driven cleaning and property maintenance. With data‑driven services, both Luotea’s and our customers’ costs decrease. Customer reporting has been simplified through the Luotea Online service.

Sustainability is an essential part of all our operations, and we took several significant steps toward our goals. As part of Lassila & Tikanoja, Luotea received the Gold level in ECOVADIS and ranked among the top 2 percent of assessed companies. Our eNPS continued to improve and reached a score of 24.

We are a company with low net debt and strong cash flow. This enables the payment of a dividend for 2025 in accordance with our dividend policy. The Board proposes a dividend of EUR 0.07 per share.

In 2026, we are pursuing profitable growth as an independent company focused on property services following the partial demerger. We will continue the systematic execution of our playbook both at the Group level and locally, guided by our values—boldly, together. Our medium‑term targets are EUR 400 million in revenue and an EBITA margin of 5 percent.

I would like to thank our customers for their cooperation and every Luotea employee for their continuous improvement throughout the past year.

PROPOSAL FOR PROFIT DISTRIBUTION

The distributable funds of Luotea Plc in the financial statements amount to EUR 14,346,297.25, of which the profit for the financial year is EUR 683,830.79. There have been no material changes in the company’s financial position after the end of the financial year, and the solvency test referred to in Chapter 13, Section 2 of the Finnish Companies Act does not affect the amount of distributable funds.

The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend of EUR 0.07 per share be paid for the financial year 2025. The dividend will be paid to a shareholder who is registered in the company’s shareholder register maintained by Euroclear Finland Oy on the record date for the dividend, 4 May 2026. The Board proposes that the dividend be paid on 11 May 2026. No dividend will be paid on treasury shares held by the company on the record date 4 May 2026. On the date of the proposal for profit distribution, the number of shares entitled to dividend is 38,211,724, so the total amount of dividends would be 2,674,820.68 euros. The Group’s earnings per share were EUR 4.23.
