The range of products comprises vehicles, attachable and demountable devices for individual vehicle equipment as well as related services. In addition, the Company manufactures and assembles specialty vehicles for commercial and recreational applications, including walk-in vans, truck bodies for last-mile delivery, vocation-specific upfit solutions, and luxury motorhome chassis.

The Shyft Transaction

On December 16, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 16, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among The Shyft Group, Inc., a Michigan corporation (“Shyft”), the Company, ASH US Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Aebi Schmidt (“Holdco”), and Badger Merger Sub, Inc., a Michigan corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Shyft (the “Merger”, and the time at which the Merger is effective, the “Effective Time”), with Shyft surviving the Merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco and as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Aebi Schmidt (the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”). “Combined Company” refers to Aebi Schmidt as of and following the Effective Time.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aebi Schmidt Holding AG and its subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements are not included herein. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are necessary for the fair statement of these interim financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 19, 2026 (the “Form 10-K”).

For a description of key accounting policies followed, refer to the footnotes to Aebi Schmidt Holding AG consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in our Form 10-K.

Forward Stock Split. On July 1, 2025, the Company effected a forward stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock, par value $1.00 per share, at a ratio of 1-for-7.5 (the “2025 Forward Stock Split”). Shares of common stock were proportionately increased.

All of the Company’s historical share and per share information related to issued and outstanding common stock in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been adjusted, on a retroactive basis, to reflect the 2025 Forward Stock Split.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Adopted.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurements of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU 2025-05”), which simplifies the estimation of credit losses on current accounts receivable and contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 as of January 1, 2026 on a prospective basis. Adoption did not impact the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Subtopic 220-40) (“ASU 2024-03”). The ASU requires the disaggregated disclosure of specific expense categories, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization, within relevant income statement captions. This ASU also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses along with the definition of selling expenses. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Adoption of this ASU can either be applied prospectively to Consolidated Financial Statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Early adoption is also permitted. This ASU will result in the required additional disclosures being included in the Consolidated Financial Statements, once adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2024-03 on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement as well as disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these statements on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2025-06”). ASU 2025-06 clarified and modernizes the accounting for costs related to internal-use software. The amendments in ASU 2025-06 remove all references to project stages throughout Subtopic 350-40 and clarify the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs.

Index

Entities must evaluate whether there is “significant development uncertainty,” such as unresolved novel functionality or substantially revised performance requirements, before meeting this capitalization threshold. ASU 2025-06 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2025-06 on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants - Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities (Topic 832)(“ASU 2025-10”). ASU 2025-10 provides the guidance on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants related to an asset or to income. ASU 2025-10 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2025-10 on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) and statements of cash flows.

NOTE 6 –INCOME TAXES

At the end of each interim period, the Company makes its best estimate of the annual expected effective income tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary year-to-date earnings or loss. The income tax provision or benefit related to unusual or infrequent items, if applicable, that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effects are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which those items occur. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates, tax status, judgment on the realizability of a beginning-of-the-year deferred tax asset in future years or income tax contingencies is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.

Our income tax expense was $488 and $787 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. The tax expense represented a 42.1% and 27.6% effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (“OECD”) Pillar Two global corporate minimum tax rate of 15% has been in effect since 2024 and applies for companies with revenues of at least€750 million. The Company is subject to the Pillar Two regulations. The Company has continued to evaluate the effect of this through the first quarter of 2026 and determined that it did not have any material impacts for the current year. The Company will continue to assess the impact of the Pillar Two minimum tax regulations, including the impact from additional clarifications that are published by OECD and local tax authorities.

On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 (“OBBBA”) into law. The OBBBA includes provisions allowing accelerated tax deductions for qualified property and research expenditures and limitations on business interest deductions. The OBBBA has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others

Index

being implemented through 2027. The enactment of the OBBBA did not have a material impact on the Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Administrative guidance interpreting the OBBBA will be released over coming quarters which the Company will continue to monitor.

NOTE 7 –COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Certain warranty and other related claims involve matters of dispute that ultimately are resolved by negotiation, arbitration or litigation. Infrequently, a material warranty issue can arise which is beyond the scope of our historical experience. We provide for any such warranty issues as they become known and are estimable. It is reasonably possible that additional warranty and other related claims could arise from disputes or other matters beyond the scope of our historical experience. An estimate of possible penalty or loss, if any, cannot be made at this time.

NOTE 12 –BUSINESS COMBINATION

On July 1, 2025 (“Acquisition Date”), the Company acquired all outstanding equity of Shyft, a niche market leader in specialty vehicle manufacturing and assembly for the commercial and recreational vehicle industries, pursuant to the Merger Agreement. For further information regarding the Merger please refer to“Note 1- Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation”.

The Company acquired 100% of Shyft’s voting equity interests, with the primary motivation being to enhance the Company’s product offerings in specialty vehicle solutions, expand market share in North America, and leverage Shyft’s innovative design and manufacturing capabilities. Shyft will expand the Company’s ability to provide customized vehicle solutions, including walk-in vans, truck bodies, and luxury Class A diesel motorhome custom chassis to a diverse clientele, including commercial users, original equipment manufacturers, dealers, and governmental entities, thereby providing a diversified portfolio that mitigates risk across various market cycles. Shyft was headquartered in Novi, Michigan, and is integrated into the North America Segment. Shyft’s annual sales in 2024 were$786,176.

The total consideration transferred was approximately$443,103. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values as of the Acquisition Date. The Shyft acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting with the purchase price allocated to the assets purchased and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Identifiable intangible assets include Brand, Technology, Customer relationships and Order backlog. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. In accordance with ASC 805-30-50-1(a), the goodwill recognized in this acquisition is attributed to several qualitative factors, including expected synergies from the integration of the operations of the acquiree and the acquirer, intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, and other relevant factors. All of the goodwill has been assigned to the North America reporting unit, which is included in the North America reportable segment. Goodwill totaled$182,492 and is not deductible for tax purposes.

In accordance with ASC 805, the allocation of the purchase price for the acquisition of Shyft is preliminary and subject to adjustment during the measurement period, which may extend up to one year from the Acquisition Date. The initial allocation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on preliminary estimates and assumptions, and as such, the values assigned to certain working capital balances, identifiable intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, taxes, and contingent liabilities may be adjusted as additional information becomes available. These adjustments could result in changes to the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements, including potential adjustments to the goodwill recognized. The Company will continue to refine its estimates and assumptions as it obtains more information, and any adjustments identified during the measurement period will be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined.

Purchase price:
Aebi shares issued to Shyft shareholders on July 1, 2025 (1)36,350,634
Shyft stock price on June 30, 2025 (2)$12.54

Add: Fair value of Shyft Equity awards allocated to pre-acquisition period (3)4,866
Total purchase price$443,103

(1)Includes vested Shyft Director RSU awards.

(2)The fair value of the share consideration and the replacement awards issued to Shyft employees was determined using Shyft’s stock price, as it was considered more reliably measurable than the stock price of Aebi Schmidt. The measurement was based on Shyft’s stock price as of June 30, 2025, the last trading day prior to delisting, which occurred on the Acquisition Date of July 1, 2025.

(3)Represents the estimated fair value of Shyft RSAs, Shyft RSUs (other than Shyft Director RSUs), and Shyft performance stock units (“PSUs”) attributable to pre-combination services. $501 of Shyft RSAs, $1,585 of Shyft RSUs, and $2,780 of Shyft PSUs are attributed to pre-combination service.

The total number of shares of Aebi Schmidt Common Stock issued as consideration, after adjusting for unvested RSAs, vested Director RSUs, and excluding fractional shares settled in cash, was 36,696,981 shares. This total comprises 36,350,634 shares issued to Shyft shareholders, of which 105,874 relating to Aebi Schmidt RSAs exchanged for Shyft RSAs that have not fully vested, and 346,347 shares that accelerated vesting upon a termination and change in control (double trigger provision). For further information regarding stock based compensation, please refer to “Note 13 - Stock Based Compensation and Equity” in the Company's Form 10-K.

Acquisition costs in connection with the Merger incurred by the Company include acquisition-related legal and other professional fees in the total amount of$19,169 as of the Acquisition Date, which are recognized as$14,765 and$4,404 in the income statement for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. All amounts were recorded within other income (expense) for the respective periods.

The table below presents the preliminary purchase price allocation to the estimated fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Acquisition Date. Measurement period adjustments were based upon information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized at that date. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments to cash and cash equivalents, other current liabilities and accrued expenses, and intangible assets. We also adjusted deferred tax liabilities in the fourth quarter of 2025 to reflect measurement‑period refinements to our estimated deferred tax calculation. In the first quarter of 2026, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments to other current liabilities and accrued expenses. The offset to these adjustments were recorded as a net decrease to goodwill.

The purchase price allocation to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:

The value of accounts receivables acquired approximates the gross contractual amount of accounts receivable. The contractual amount not expected to be collected is immaterial.

As part of the business combination, the Company recognized contingent liabilities of$8,246 related to certain commitments. The Company measured these contingencies at fair value and the liabilities reflect management's best estimate of future payments related to these arrangements, which depends on final negotiated terms following the acquisition. The valuation incorporates probability-weighted scenarios based on expected outcomes. The Company continues to monitor these arrangements and will adjust the fair value as necessary in future reporting periods.

Intangible assets totaling$182,786 have provisionally been assigned to Brand, Technology, Customer relationships and Order backlog as a result of the acquisition. The fair value of Customer relationships was determined using an income approach methodology, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method. The fair value of Brand and Technology was determined using an income approach methodology, specifically the relief from royalty method. Significant assumptions used in estimating future cash flows included projected revenue growth rates and discount rate for customer relationships and projected revenue growth rates, royalty rate and discount rate for brand. Intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands):

The Company amortizes the Brand, Technology, Customer relationships and Order backlog utilizing a straight-line approach.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Shyft generated revenue of$186,304 and operating income of$1,652, which are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company has applied the practical expedient in ASC 805-20-30-29 for contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in the business combination. Acquired contract assets and liabilities in the scope of ASC 606 are an exception to the ASC 805 fair value measurement principle and were measured as if Aebi Schmidt had originated the acquired contract. For each contract Aebi Schmidt reassessed the identification of performance obligations, determination of transaction price, allocation of transaction price, and measure of progress for each performance obligation as if Aebi Schmidt has been party to the original contract and recognized the resulting contract asset or liability as an asset acquired or a liability assumed. The application of this expedient aligns with the acquiree’s historical accounting and is not expected to materially affect the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of these items in subsequent periods as part of its ongoing revenue recognition processes.

Supplemental Pro Forma (unaudited)

The following table summarizes the unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, as if the acquisition was completed on January 1, 2025. The unaudited pro forma information was prepared in accordance with the requirements of ASC 805. Pro forma adjustments have been made to reflect the impact of incremental non-recurring acquisition-related adjustments, including transaction costs of$10,122, cash retention awards of$2,022, share-based compensation of$1,390, employee severance of$15,140 and adjustment related to fair value step-up to inventory of$936. The adjustments also include the interest expense related to the debt modification, amortization of acquired intangible assets and lease remeasurement, depreciation of the fair-valued tangible assets, and the related tax effects of these adjustments.

The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information is presented for illustration purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the transaction been completed on January 1, 2025, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results of the combined entity. The unaudited pro forma financial information for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, is a result of combining the consolidated income statement of the Company with the results of the net assets acquired from Shyft. The pro forma results do not include any cost savings and synergies anticipated as a result of the transaction. We believe the estimates and assumptions are reasonable, and the relative effects of the transaction are properly reflected.

NOTE 13 –SEGMENTS

The Company identifies its operating and reportable segments based on the management structure and the financial data utilized by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which was determined to be the Board of Directors, to assess segment performance and allocate resources among the operating units.
