The annual report is prepared in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act. In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company at 31 December 2025 and of the results of the Company's operations for the financial year 1 January - 31 December 2025. Further, in our opinion, the Management's review gives a fair review of the matters discussed in the Management's review. We recommend that the annual report be approved at the annual general meeting. Randers Rasmus Vingaard Larsen Christian Jones Chairman Rasmus Vingaard Larsen Jesper Vinther Olesen Anita Bertel Højriis Michael Dennis Thompson Bryan Eric Mittelman To the shareholder of Hounö A/S We have audited the financial statements of Hounö A/S for the financial year 1 January - 31 December 2025, which comprise income statement, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity and notes, including accounting policies. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act.In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company at 31 December 2025 and of the results of the Company's operations for the financial year 1 January - 31 December 2025 in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further described in the "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements" section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.IndependenceWe are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional ethical requirements applicable in Denmark, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.In preparing the financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements unless Management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.As part of an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal control.Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management.Conclude on the appropriateness of Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contents of the financial statements, including the note disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that gives a true and fair view.We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. Management is responsible for the Management's review.Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the Management's review, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Management's review and, in doing so, consider whether the Management's review is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.Moreover, it is our responsibility to consider whether the Management's review provides the information required under the Danish Financial Statements Act.Based on the work we have performed, we conclude that the Management's review is in accordance with the financial statements and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Danish Financial Statement Act. We did not identify any material misstatement of the Management's review.

The company’s principal activities relates to production and sales of combi and bake-off ovens with accessories for industrial kitchens, restaurants, fast food chains, supermarket chains, and retail stores. The income statement for 2025 shows a loss of DKK 19,103 thousand against a loss of DKK 12,492 thousand last year, and the balance sheet at 31 December 2025 shows a negative equity of DKK 94,525 thousand. The result reflects, among other factors, the impact of a general slowdown in the market, significant investments in new product lines for the US market and miniCombi ovens, as well as increased uncertainty in the market caused by tariffs and changing global trading conditions. In addition, the company has continued to invest in product development, sales activities, and organizational strengthening in preparation for future growth and improved competitiveness. The result is considered unsatisfactory.Profit/loss for the year compared to previously announced expectations The expectation for 2025, as stated in the 2024 annual report, was an improvement in the company’s financial performance. However, the realized results reflect a continued challenging market environment and higher-than-expected costs, including significant investments in new product lines for gas ovens and miniCombi ovens, resulting in a larger deficit than originally anticipated. The expected result for 2025, based on the 2024 annual report, was a loss between DKK 6 million and DKK 12 million. The actual loss for the year amounted to DKK 19.1 million, mainly driven by the market slowdown, reduced order intake, and lower sales activity toward the end of the year. In 2025, HOUNÖ continued its efforts to reduce environmental impact by improving the energy and water efficiency of its ovens, which led to the awarding of the Energy Star certification. The company also made ongoing improvements in reducing steel waste in production and enhanced waste management throughout the manufacturing process. The company has in recent years continued to invest in development, digitalization, and automation activities to strengthen its future growth and earnings potential. All development activities have been expensed since management has assesed that the critieria for recognition has not been meet. In the coming financial year, development activities are expected to take place at a lower level than in previous years.Capital LossThe company's capital has been lost and is thus covered by Section 119 of the Companies Act. The shareholders have issued a declaration of support and a guarantee, committing to provide the necessary financial support to enable the Company to continue its operations for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the Annual Report for the financial year 2025. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, and with effect from 1 April 2026, the Company received a capital contribution of DKK 202.3 million. As a result, the Company’s equity was restored during the 2026 financial year. A description is also provided in the notes. Hounö A/S believes that diversity among employees, including gender balance, contributes positively to the working environment and strengthens the company's performance and competitiveness. Subsequent to the reporting period, on 1 April 2026, Hounö A/S received a capital contribution amounting to DKK 202.3 million from its shareholder. The capital contribution was made as part of a recapitalisation of the Company and has been recognised as an equity contribution. The agreement governing the capital contribution was entered into after the reporting period. The capital contribution has significantly strengthened Hounö A/S's equity position and liquidity. No amounts relating to this transaction have been recognised in the financial statements as at 31 December 2025. The information has also been provided in note 3. In 2026, a negative result is still expected; however, management is working intensively to reduce the negative trend and achieve a result as close to break-even as possible. 2026 will be an important year for the company, as a new product line will be launched to the market. The new product is targeted at the mid-range segment, making the company more competitive in this market while still offering the advanced technology and features known from the top-tier product series. In addition, significant efforts are being made to launch a gas oven range for the European and global markets. The company continues to invest heavily in the sales organization by expanding with additional resources across different markets in order to increase sales activities, strengthen market presence, and improve product knowledge among customers and partners. During 2026, the loan to The Middleby Corporation has been fully converted into share capital, further strengthening the company’s capital structure. There is also a strong focus on production optimization and efficiency improvements in order to enhance competitiveness and support long-term profitability.HOUNÖ A/S net result is expected to be a loss between DKK 6 million and DKK 10 million. Despite the expected negative result, the company continues to receive full support from its owner, The Middleby Corporation. 42542000 50658000 51917000 51887000 6745000 7525000 -16120000 -8754000 25000 67000 7535000 7462000 -23630000 -16149000 -4527000 -3657000 -19103000 -12492000 587000 170000 587000 170000 10434000 10878000 17470000 20840000 341000 1608000 28245000 33326000 28832000 33496000 31438000 40176000 2052000 262000 13471000 6184000 784000 0 47745000 46622000 6350000 8346000 7394000 9925000 3265000 3675000 4519000 3141000 200000 1203000 770000 782000 22498000 27072000 24147000 9923000 94390000 83617000 123222000 117113000 1000000 1000000 -95525000 -76422000 -94525000 -75422000 2226000 2911000 1186000 394000 3412000 3305000 30000 411000 0 172426000 30000 172837000 300000 1220000 8042000 6631000 201350000 43000 4613000 8499000 214305000 16393000 214335000 189230000 123222000 117113000 1000000 -63930000 -12492000 1000000 -76422000 -19103000 1000000 -95525000 The annual report of Hounö A/S for 2025 has been prepared in accordance with the provisions in the Danish Financial Statements Act applying to medium-sized reporting class C entities. The accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those of last year. With reference to section 86(4) of the Danish Financial Statements Act, no cash flow statement has been prepared. The Company's cash flows are reflected in the consolidated cash flow statement for the higher-ranking parent company The Middleby Corporation. Requesting the parent company's consolidated cash flow can be found at https://middlebycorporation.gcs-web.com/financial-information/annual-reports. Reporting currencyThe financial statements are presented in Danish kroner (DKK'000). On initial recognition, transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate at the transaction date. Foreign exchange differences arising between the exchange rates at the transaction date and the date of payment are recognised in the income statement as financial income or financial expenses.Receivables and payables and other monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. The difference between the exchange rates at the balance sheet date and the date at which the receivable or payable arose or was recognised in the most recent financial statements is recognised in the income statement as financial income or financial expenses. The company has chosen to apply IFRS 15 for the interpretation of the provisions of the Annual Accounts Act regarding the recognition of revenue.Revenue from the sale of goods and finished products, which includes ovens and spare parts, is recognized in net revenue when control of the item transfers to the customer, which, according to the sales terms, occurs at the time of delivery.Revenue is measured at the fair value of the agreed consideration excluding VAT and taxes charged on behalf of third parties. All discounts and rebates granted are recognised in revenue. The items revenue, cost of sales, other operating income and external expenses have been aggregated into one item in the income statement called gross profit in accordance with section 32 of the Danish Financial Statements Act. Other operating income comprise items secondary to the principal activities of the Company, including compensation, government grants, refund of wages and salaries, gains on the disposal of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, etc. Compensation and grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received. Cost of sales includes the cost of goods used in generating the year's revenue. Other external expenses include the year's expenses relating to the Company's core activities, including expenses relating to distribution, sale, advertising, administration, premises, bad debts, payments under operating leases, etc. Staff costs comprise wages and salaries, including holiday allowance and pensions, and other social security costs, etc., for the Company's employees. The item comprises amortisation/depreciation of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment.The basis of amortisation/depreciation, which is calculated as cost less any residual value, is amortised/depreciated on a straight line basis over the expected useful life. The expected useful lives of the assets are as follows:Acquired intangible assets 3-5 years Land and buildings 50 yearsOther fixtures and fittings, tools and equipment 3-10 yearsLeasing asset 1-4 years Financial income and expenses are recognised in the income statements at the amounts that concern the financial year. Net financials include interest income and expenses as well as allowances and surcharges under the advance-payment-of-tax scheme, etc. Tax for the year includes current tax on the year's expected taxable income and the year's deferred tax adjustments. The portion of the tax for the year that relates to the profit/loss for the year is recognised in the income statement, whereas the portion that relates to transactions taken to equity is recognised in equity.The entity is jointly taxed with other group entities. The total Danish income tax charge is allocated between profit/loss-making Danish entities in proportion to their taxable income (full absorption).Jointly taxed entities entitled to a tax refund are reimbursed by the management company based on the rates applicable to interest allowances, and jointly taxed entities which have paid too little tax pay a surcharge according to the rates applicable to interest surcharges to the management company. Other intangible assets include development projects and other acquired intangible rights, including software licences, distribution rights and development projects.Other intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Property, plant and equipmentItems of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes the acquisition price and costs directly related to the acquisition until the time at which the asset is ready for use.Gains or losses are calculated as the difference between the selling price less selling costs and the carrying amount at the date of disposal. Gains and losses from the disposal of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the income statement as other operating income or other operating expenses. The Company has chosen IFRS 16 as interpretation for classification and recognition of leases.A lease asset and a lease liability are recognized on the balance sheet when the company, in accordance with an entered lease agreement regarding a specifically identifiable asset, has the lease asset available for use during the lease term, and when the company obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset and the right to direct the use of the identified asset.Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of future lease payments, discounted using an alternative borrowing rate. The following lease payments are recognized as part of the lease liability:Fixed payments.Variable payments that change in accordance with changes in an index or a rate, based on the applicable index or rate.Payments due under a residual value guarantee.The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The lease liability is remeasured when there are changes in the underlying contractual cash flows due to changes in an index or a rate, if there are changes in the company's estimate of a residual value guarantee, or if the company changes its assessment of whether a purchase, extension, or termination option is expected to be exercised with reasonable certainty.The lease asset is initially measured at cost, which corresponds to the value of the lease liability adjusted for any prepaid lease payments, plus directly attributable costs and estimated costs for dismantling, restoration, or similar activities, and less any received discounts or other forms of incentive payments from the lessor.Subsequently, the asset is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The lease asset is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the lease asset. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis in the income statement.The lease asset is adjusted for changes in the lease liability as a result of changes in the terms of the lease agreement or changes in the agreement's cash flows in accordance with changes in an index or a rate.Lease assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term, which constitutes:Other fixed assets, operating equipment, and inventory: 1-4 years.Buildings: 1-2 years.The company has chosen to present lease assets and lease liabilities as separate line items in the balance sheet. The company has generally opted to apply the practical exemptions in IFRS 16, so lease assets with low value and short-term lease agreements are not recognized on the balance sheet. Instead, lease payments related to these lease agreements are recognized on a straight-line basis in the income statement under other external expenses.The company has also chosen not to include service elements in the capitalized value of lease liabilities and lease assets. Service elements are therefore expensed as incurred under other external expenses in the income statement The carrying amount of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and investments in subsidiaries and associates is assessed for impairment on an annual basis.Impairment tests are conducted on assets or groups of assets when there is evidence of impairment. The carrying amount of impaired assets is reduced to the higher of the net selling price and the value in use (recoverable amount). The recoverable amount is the higher of the net selling price of an asset and its value in use. The value in use is calculated as the present value of the expected net cash flows from the use of the asset or the group of assets and the expected net cash flows from the disposal of the asset or the group of assets after the end of the useful life.Previously recognised impairment losses are reversed when the reason for recognition no longer exists. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Inventories are measured at cost in accordance with the FIFO method. Where the net realisable value is lower than cost, inventories are written down to this lower value. The net realisable value of inventories is calculated as the sales amount less costs of completion and expenses required to effect the sale and is determined taking into account marketability, obsolescence and development in the expected selling price.The cost of raw materials and consumables comprises the cost of acquisition plus delivery costs.The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes the cost of raw materials, consumables, direct labour and indirect production overheads.Indirect production overheads include the indirect cost of material and labour as well as maintenance and depreciation of production machinery, buildings and equipment and expenses relating to plant administration and management. Borrowing costs are not recognised in the cost. The Company has chosen IAS 39 as interpretation for impairment write-down of financial receivables.Receivables are measured at amortised cost.An impairment loss is recognised if there is objective evidence that a receivable or a group of receivables is impaired. If there is objective evidence that an individual receivable has been impaired, an impairment loss is recognised on an individual basis.Receivables in respect of which there is no objective evidence of individual impairment are tested for objective evidence of impairment on a portfolio basis. The portfolios are primarily based on the debtors' domicile and credit ratings in line with the Company's risk management policy. The objective evidence applied to portfolios is determined based on historical loss experience.Impairment losses are calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the receivables and the present value of the expected cash flows, including the realisable value of any collateral received. The effective interest rate for the individual receivable or portfolio is used as discount rate. Prepayments recognised under "Assets" comprise prepaid expenses regarding subsequent financial reporting years. Cash comprise cash and is subject to only minor risks of changes in value. Provisions comprise anticipated expenses relating to warranty commitments, onerous contracts, restructurings, etc. Provisions are recognised when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.Provisions are measured at net realisable value or at fair value if the obligation is expected to be settled far into the future. Current tax payables and receivables are recognised in the balance sheet as the estimated income tax charge for the year, adjusted for prior-year taxes and tax paid on account.Deferred tax is measured according to the liability method on all temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax base of assets and liabilities. However, deferred tax is not recognised on temporary differences relating to goodwill which is not deductible for tax purposes and on office premises and other items where temporary differences, apart from business combinations, arise at the date of acquisition without affecting either profit/loss for the year or taxable income. Where alternative tax rules can be applied to determine the tax base, deferred tax is measured based on Management's intended use of the asset or settlement of the liability, respectively.Deferred tax is measured according to the tax rules and at the tax rates applicable at the balance sheet date when the deferred tax is expected to crystallise as current tax. Deferred tax assets are recognised at the expected value of their utilisation; either as a set-off against tax on future income or as a set-off against deferred tax liabilities in the same legal tax entity. Changes in deferred tax due to changes in the tax rate are recognised in the income statement. Other payablesOther payables are measured at net realisable value. Lease liabilitiesLease liabilities are measured at the net present value of the remaining lease payments including any guaranteed residual value based on the interest rate implicit in the lease. The financial ratios stated under "Financial highlights" have been calculated as follows:Operating profit/loss Profit/loss before net financials +/- Other operating income and other operating expensesReturn on assets Profit/loss from operating activities x 100Average assetsEquity ratio Equity x 100Total AssetsReturn on equity Profit/loss after tax x 100Average equity The company's capital has been lost and is thus covered by Section 119 of the Companies Act. The shareholders have issued a declaration of support and a guarantee, committing to provide the necessary financial support to enable the Company to continue its operations for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the Annual Report for the financial year 2025. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, and with effect from 1 April 2026, the Company received a capital contribution of DKK 202.3 million. As a result, the Company’s equity was restored during the 2026 financial year. Capital contribution after the reporting period Subsequent to the reporting period, on 1 April 2026, the Company received a capital contribution amounting to DKK 202.3 million from its shareholder.
