Preliminary Q1 Results Surprise to the Upside

Shelly reported a strong start to the year with preliminary Q1 figures,
delivering revenue growth above our expectations in what was anticipated to
be a more challenging quarter. In addition, the company further strengthened
its cash position, underlining the improving financial profile.

[Table]

Top line development better than expected despite timing effects: Revenue in
Q1 reached EUR 33.4m, slightly above our estimate (MONe: EUR 32.3m),
corresponding to a growth rate of 26.0% yoy. This performance is
particularly noteworthy given the previously communicated timing effects
related to product launches. As a reminder, several key new products were
delayed by a few months, leading to a stronger focus on selling existing
product lines to distributors in Q4 2025. This resulted in temporarily
elevated inventory levels at distributors, which we had expected to weigh on
order activity in Q1. Against this backdrop, the reported growth exceeds
expectations and supports our view that underlying demand remains strong. We
continue to expect a further acceleration in growth momentum over the course
of the year as new product launches gain traction.

Improved cash position and focus on working capital: Shelly reported a
noticeable increase in its cash position, primarily driven by improved
accounts payable. At the same time, management has initiated measures to
address the elevated level of trade receivables, which had been a key
concern among investors following the year-end figures. According to the
company, receivables are expected to normalize over the coming quarters. A
successful reduction in receivables would have a particularly positive
impact on free cash flow generation. For FY26, we currently forecast a free
cash flow of EUR 19.7m, which still assumes a moderate increase in
receivables, albeit below the revenue growth rate.

SDAX inclusion enhances visibility and liquidity: Since April 10, Shelly has
been included in the SDAX, marking the first listing of a Bulgarian company
in the index. This milestone reflects the company's strong operational
development in recent years and the increasing relevance of the stock in the
capital markets. The index inclusion should further improve trading
liquidity and enhance visibility among institutional investors.

Conclusion: Overall, the Q1 figures provide a positive signal, demonstrating
resilient demand despite temporary headwinds from product timing effects.
Combined with the improving cash profile and increased capital market
visibility, we see Shelly well positioned to deliver accelerating growth
over the remainder of the year and reaffirm our buy rating and price target
of EUR 79.00.
