## Customers

Terranor sells primarily to public-sector road owners, especially government and municipal clients, under long-term contracts. It also serves some private-sector customers, but the business is anchored by contracts tied to public infrastructure maintenance needs. Demand is driven by the need to keep road networks accessible, safe, and operational in all seasons.

- **Government clients** (primary) — State road authorities buy winter and summer road maintenance under multi-year contracts because they need reliable access and service continuity.
- **Municipal clients** (primary) — Cities and municipalities buy road upkeep, snow removal, and related services to maintain local infrastructure and safety.
- **Private-sector clients** (secondary) — Private customers buy selected maintenance and infrastructure services where outsourced road and site upkeep is needed.

- Government agencies buying road operations and maintenance
- Municipalities outsourcing year-round road upkeep
- Public road authorities needing winter service capacity
- Private-sector clients with road and site maintenance needs
- Tender-based customers seeking long-term contract execution

## Geography

Terranor operates in Sweden, Finland, and Denmark, with each country managed as a separate operating segment. Sweden is the largest operating base, while Finland and Denmark provide additional Nordic exposure and diversify the contract portfolio. The country mix matters because weather, tender conditions, and public procurement rules differ across markets.

- **Sweden** (64.5%) — Estimated from Q4 2025 external customer revenue by segment.
- **Finland** (16.7%) — Estimated from Q4 2025 external customer revenue by segment.
- **Denmark** (18.8%) — Estimated from Q4 2025 external customer revenue by segment.

- Sweden, Finland, and Denmark are the core operating markets
- Each country is managed as a separate reporting segment
- Sweden is the largest operational base in the group
- Nordic weather patterns drive seasonal demand and service mix
- Public procurement rules vary by country and affect tendering

## Strategy

Terranor’s strategy centers on winning and executing long-term road maintenance contracts through a structured tender process. The company emphasizes profitable contract selection, operational execution, and a balanced Nordic portfolio to support stable service delivery and growth. It also targets disciplined leverage and shareholder distributions as part of its financial framework.

- **Selective tendering and contract wins** (short-term) — Long-term contracts provide visibility, but pricing discipline is needed to protect contract economics.
- **Operational execution across the Nordic countries** (medium-term) — Road maintenance is local and weather-sensitive, so execution quality determines service reliability and renewal prospects.
- **Balanced Nordic portfolio** (medium-term) — A broader mix of state and municipal contracts can reduce concentration and improve resilience.

- Win long-term road maintenance contracts through disciplined tendering
- Focus on profitable contract selection rather than volume alone
- Use country-level operating structure to manage local execution
- Strengthen Sweden as the core earnings base
- Build a more balanced Nordic contract portfolio
- Target growth, margin, leverage, and dividend discipline

## Risks

Terranor is exposed to contract pricing, weather, and public procurement risk because its revenue depends on long-term road maintenance agreements and seasonal service demand. The company also faces legal, tax, credit, liquidity, and refinancing risks across Sweden, Denmark, and Finland, with one notable exposure tied to contract interpretation in Finland. Because the business uses materials, logistics, and subcontracted inputs, inflation and supply-chain disruption can quickly affect project economics.

- **Finland contract dispute over ceiling-price interpretation** [high] — An unresolved legal dispute can affect compensation, timing, and contract economics.
- **Weather and seasonal volatility** [medium] — Winter services and summer maintenance volumes vary materially by season and weather conditions.
- **Public procurement and tender pricing pressure** [medium] — Winning contracts requires competitive bids, but underpricing can hurt long-term economics.
- **Input cost inflation and supply-chain disruption** [medium] — Materials, logistics, and subcontracting costs can rise faster than contract compensation.
- **Liquidity and refinancing risk** [medium] — The business uses working capital and financing that must be managed against contract timing.

- Contract interpretation disputes can affect revenue and cash flow
- Weather and seasonality change service volumes and margins
- Public procurement and tender pricing pressure contract economics
- Material and logistics inflation can raise delivery costs
- Credit, liquidity, and refinancing risk matter in a contract business

## Accounting

Terranor’s accounting is shaped by long-term service contracts, which require judgment on revenue recognition, contract assets, and the timing of variable work. Seasonal patterns also affect comparability across quarters because winter and summer service volumes differ materially. The group’s legal dispute in Finland and its lease/financing exposures add estimation risk around provisions, liabilities, and interest-related items.

- **Revenue recognition on long-term contracts** — Revenue and contract assets
- **Seasonality and quarterly comparability** — Quarterly revenue and EBITA
- **Legal dispute and contingent liabilities** — Provisions and note disclosures
- **Expected credit losses on receivables and contract assets** — Receivables and contract assets

- Revenue recognition depends on contract terms and variable work timing
- Contract assets and receivables require credit-loss assessment
- Seasonality makes quarterly revenue and margin comparisons uneven
- Legal disputes may require provisions or contingent liability disclosure
- Lease and floating-rate financing affect interest and balance-sheet items
