Q2-26 results on August 13th Research Analyst

Fastned will report Q2-26 results on August 13th, followed by a conference call on +49-69-910-48637

the same day. As of today, the network comprises 423 charging stations, an

increase of 9 stations since the end of Q1-26. We anticipate the completion of some Research Analyst

construction sites in the coming days, leading us to incorporate a slightly higher +49-69-910-31924

number into our forecasts. Following the Q1 release, Fastned indicated that

charging demand did not decline in early April, contrary to typical seasonality. We

believe this could be linked to recent oil price hikes and assume this trend has

continued throughout Q2. However, we expect charging demand to normalize once

oil prices sustainably return to pre-Iran conflict levels. Regarding the 2026 outlook, Mira Wiegratz

adjustment to the current outlook.

FY26 guide: no change expected

We do not expect the company to adjust its 2026 outlook with the H1 release.

Although 50 stations still need to be installed to reach the lower end of the range,

we expect the typical seasonality with more stations being built in the second half

of the year.
