The increase for both the three and six-month periods compared to the same periods in the prior year is primarily attributable to growth from acquisitions as the Company experienced organic growth of 4% and 5% respectively. Organic growth is not a standardized financial measure and might not be comparable to measures disclosed by other issuers.Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 increased €5.8 million to €47.3 million compared to €41.5 million for the same period in 2025.

Forward looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not such results will be achieved. A number of factors could cause actual results to vary significantly from the results discussed in the forward looking statements. These forward looking statements reflect current assumptions and expectations regarding future events and operating performance and are made as of the date hereof and Topicus assumes no obligation, except as required by law, to update any forward looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances.Free cash flow available to shareholders ‘‘FCFA2S’’ refers to net cash flows from operating activities less interest paid on lease obligations, interest paid on other facilities, credit facility transaction costs, repayments of lease obligations, and property and equipment purchased, and includes interest and dividends received, and the proceeds from sale of interest rate caps. The portion of this amount applicable to non-controlling interests is then deducted. Topicus believes that FCFA2S is useful supplemental information as it provides an indication of the uncommitted cash flow that is available to shareholders if Topicus does not make any acquisitions, or investments, and does not repay any debts. While Topicus could use the FCFA2S to pay dividends or repurchase shares, Topicus’ objective is to invest all of our FCFA2S in acquisitions which meet Topicus’ hurdle rate.FCFA2S is not a recognized measure under IFRS and, accordingly, readers are cautioned that FCFA2S should not be construed as an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities.The following table reconciles FCFA2S to net cash flows from operating activities: Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, 20262025 20262025 (€ in millions) (€ in millions) Net cash flows from operating activities (12.7)(14.9) 267.8 256.5 Adjusted for: Interest paid on lease obligations (0.9)(0.7) (1.7)(1.4) Interest paid on other facilities (10.3)(4.3) (14.0)(9.0) Credit facility transaction costs – (3.2) (0.3)(3.3) Payments of lease obligations (8.7)(7.2) (17.1)(14.0) Property and equipment purchased (3.1)(3.8) (6.3)(6.7) Interest and dividends received 59.2 8.3 59.8 8.6 23.6 (25.8) 288.2 230.7 Less amount attributable to non-controlling interests (9.0)9.1 (108.0)(85.7) Free cash flow available to shareholders 14.6 (16.7) 180.1 145.0 Due to rounding, certain totals may not foot.
