The Board has declared an interim dividend of 24p per ordinary share (H1 25: 22p), an increase of 9%; covered 4.3 times by adjusted earnings. Operational highlights Sixth consecutive period of continued meter and volume growth as the Group’s ongoing investment in people and systems deliver sustained growth. Yü Energy delivered a c43% increase in meter points versus the prior year, to close at 153,000 (H1 25: 107,000; FY 25: 131,000). The Group continues to grow volumetric consumption and leverages off the successful implementation of the commodity hedging agreement with Shell Energy. Average monthly bookings at £51m, up 24% on H1 25 (H1 25: £41m, FY 25: £46m) with uncertainty due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East offset by increased market price and significant contract wins. The Group remains confident in its resilience and competitiveness in these market conditions. Shell Trading arrangement extended in May 2026 out to 2032 was an important strategic milestone, it continues todeliver a frictionless commodity hedging facility and enables the Group to sell to the market in a safe and sustainablemanner through significant market uncertainty. Yü Smart delivering the benefit of systemic and process investment through 2025, with meters owned in the period up 51% on the same period in 2025 (H1 26: 56,000; H1 25: 37,000), providing a 67% increase in forward annualised, indexed annuity income (H1 26: £3.0m; H1 25: £1.8m). Recognised for the fourth consecutive year as a ‘Top 100 Best Places to Work’ by the Sunday Times. Outlook The Group is on target to deliver Revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted EPS metrics for FY26 in-line with current market expectations, despite a backdrop of market uncertainty. Meter points and market share growth remain on track to meet current market expectations for FY26. Contract book over-performing expectations through our stated investment in people and systems and expected to approach £2bn at the end of 2026. The Group’s strong cash generation and disciplined approach to our balance sheet provide the Group with confidence and credibility when looking for opportunistic inorganic growth and value-added opportunities. This will underpin our progressive dividend policy and enable increased distributions to shareholders. Bobby Kalar, Chief Executive Officer, said: The Group remains firmly on track, with strong operational performance and key metrics continuing to progress despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, including the conflict involving in the Middle East. We remain fully focused on delivering our three-year business plan and have increasing confidence in the strength, resilience and long-term potential of the business. Whilst investor appetite across UK public markets remains constrained and, in our view, continues to undervalue businesses demonstrating genuine operational progress and cash generation, our priority is clear: execute, grow and deliver. We believe sustained performance will ultimately speak for itself, and we remain committed to creating meaningful long-term value for shareholders. I would like to extend my gratitude to all my team who continue to support the management to generate long-term value. Notes: 1 Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to operating profit in the finance review and note 2 to the interim financial statements. 2 Overdue customer receivables is expressed in days of sales, and relates to the total balance, net of provisions, of accrued income which isoutside of the normal billing cycle, plus overdue trade receivables (net of VAT and CCL). 3 Analysis based on Cornwall Insight market share report, October 2025. 4 ILARR represents index-linked annualised recurring revenue from investment in Smart Meters.

Panmure Liberum Bidhi Bhoma Edward Mansfield Satbir Kler Gaya Bhatt +44 (0) 20 3100 2000 Notes to Editors Information on the Group Yü Group PLC is a leading supplier of gas and electricity focused on servicing the SME and corporate sector throughout the UK. We drive innovation through a combination of user-friendly digital solutions and personalised, high-quality customer service. The Group plays a key role supporting businesses in their transition to lower carbon technologies with a commitment to providing sustainable energy solutions. Yü Group has a clear strategy to deliver sustainable profitable growth (in a £50bn+ addressable market) and value for all of ourstakeholders, built on strong foundations and with a robust hedging policy. The Group has achieved a compound annual growthrate of c.47% over the last five years and has significantly improved margin and profitability performance. In 2023 the Grouplaunched Yü Smart to support growth through new opportunities in smart metering installation, including through the ownershipof smart meter assets to generate a recurring index-linked annuity income over a 15+year period. Chief Executive Officer’s Statement Strong execution, continued momentum I am pleased to report another strong period of growth and delivery for the Group. We have continued to execute against our strategy, growing revenue by 19% to £405m, increasing adjusted EBITDA to £24m and delivering adjusted earnings per share of 103p, up 7% year on year. This performance has been achieved alongside the planned investment in people, systems and capability required to deliver our medium-term ambitions. Importantly, the underlying operational metrics of the business continue to strengthen, giving me confidence that we remain firmly on track against our three-year plan. Our financial position remains strong, with cash of £129m at the period end. This financial strength, together with the continued growth in earnings, has enabled the Board to increase the interim dividend by 9% to 24p per share, while maintaining substantial dividend cover of 4.3 times adjusted earnings. Sustained growth across the Group Yü Energy has now delivered six consecutive reporting periods of meter and volume growth. Meter points increased approximately 43% year on year to 153,000, demonstrating the continued effectiveness of our investment in people, technology and our Digital by Default operating model. Average monthly bookings increased 24% to £51m and our forward contract book continues to build strongly. Despite significant commodity market volatility and uncertainty, the business has continued to win meaningful new contracts and grow both customer numbers and contracted volumes. The extension of our commodity trading arrangement with Shell Energy through to 2032 is strategically important. It provides the Group with a scalable and frictionless hedging capability and allows us to continue growing safely and sustainably, including through periods of significant market volatility. Yü Smart is also increasingly demonstrating the benefits of the investment made throughout 2025. Meters owned increased 51% year on year to 56,000, with forward annualised index-linked recurring income increasing 67% to £3.0m. The combination of our energy supply and smart metering businesses continues to create an increasingly differentiated and valuable proposition. I am equally proud that, for the fourth consecutive year, we have been recognised by The Sunday Times as one of the UK's Top 100 Best Places to Work. Our people and culture remain fundamental to our success, and I would again like to thank the entire team for their continued commitment and contribution. Outlook The Group remains firmly on track to deliver FY26 revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS in line with current market expectations, despite the unusually uncertain geopolitical and commodity market backdrop. Meter point growth and market share progression remain on track, while the strength of bookings and longer contract durations mean our forward contract book is performing ahead of our previous expectations and is expected to exceed £2bn by the end of 2026.

We remain fully focused on delivering our three-year business plan. Our strong cash generation, disciplined balance sheet and continued operational momentum provide us with considerable flexibility to pursue value-enhancing opportunities, including selective inorganic growth, while continuing to support our progressive dividend policy and increasing distributions to shareholders. Public market investor appetite remains selective and, in my view, does not always fully recognise the operational progress, cash generation and growth being delivered by businesses such as ours. We cannot control market sentiment; we can control our execution. Our priority therefore remains straightforward: continue to grow, deliver against our commitments and create sustainable long-term shareholder value. I remain highly confident in the direction of the Group and its ability to deliver our medium-term ambitions. Finance review Stable consistent financial growth The Group results reflect stable consistent financial growth through global market instability, with positive forward growth incontract book underpinning the growth ambitions laid out over the following three years.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements 1. Significant accounting policiesYü Group PLC (the “Company”) is a public limited company incorporated in the United Kingdom, with company number 10004236. The Companyis limited by shares and the Company’s ordinary shares are traded on AIM. These condensed consolidated half yearly financial statements as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2026 comprise the Company and itssubsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”). The Group is primarily involved in the supply of electricity, gas and water to SMEs and largercorporates in the UK. Basis of preparation The condensed consolidated interim financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2026 has been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standards. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2026 does not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and does not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act2006. This report should therefore be read in conjunction with the Group annual report for the year ended 31 December 2025, which is availableon the Group’s investor website (yugroupplc.com). The comparative figures for the year ended 31 December 2025 have been audited. The comparative figures for the half year ended 30 June 2025, and the actual figures for the half year to 30 June 2026, are unaudited. The accounting policies adopted in these condensed consolidated half yearly financial statements are consistent with the policies applied in the2025 Group financial statements. The consolidated financial statements are presented in British pounds sterling (£), which is the functional and presentational currencyof the Group. All values are rounded to the nearest million (£’m), except where otherwise indicated. Going concern The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. At 30 June 2026 the Group had net assets of £102.5m (H1 25: £81.0m, FY25: £97.8m), cash of £128.7m (H1 25: £118.2m, FY25: £105.9m) andnet current assets of £74.9m (H1 25: £70.9m, FY25: £59.8m). Management prepares detailed budgets and forecasts of financial performance and cash flow (including capital commitments) over the coming 14 months. The Board has confidence in achieving such targets and forecasts and has performed comprehensive analysis of various risks(including those set out in the Strategic Report) and sensitivities in relation to performance, the energy market and the wider economy. The Group continues to demonstrate significant progress in its results. This has led to adjusted EBITDA (note 2) in 2026 of £23.6m (H1 25: £22.9m, FY25: £50.6m), which continues the momentum in the Group’s results occurring since 2018. Management is confident in continuing thisimprovement in profitability based on its business model. Profitability metrics remain strong in 2026, and the Group continues to drive sustainable, profitable growth. The Group’s hedging strategy,approach to bad debt, and investment in digital technologies all contribute to achieving acceptable levels of profitability over the medium term. Group cash liquidity is strong. The Group has cash of £128.7m (H1 25: £118.2m, FY25: £105.9m). The commodity trading agreement entered intoin February 2024 with Shell Energy Europe Limited (“Shell”) provides significant access to commodity markets whilst preserving Group liquidity,and the contract is performing well. The Board actively seeks to utilise its strong cash reserves to further its strategic operational aims and continued investment in relationships withbrokers requiring customer acquisition costs in advance of contract commencement. Significant capital investment continues in smart meterassets to provide a long-term annuity income. The Board has assessed risks and sensitivities and potential mitigation steps available to it in detail and continues to monitor risk and mitigationstrategies in the normal course of business. These considerations include the following: Customer receivables and bad debt The Board considers customer receivable risks in view of the wider market, the energy price environment and the Group’s ability to contract and protect its position in respect of late or non-payment. The Board performed sensitivities on material changes to customer payment behaviour including the timing of payments or if bad debt levelswere to increase. The Group has extensive mitigating actions in place. These include credit checks at point of sale and throughout the customer lifecycle, therequirement for some customers to pay reasonable security deposits at the point of sale, and the offering (ensuring compliance with regulationand good industry practice) of pay as you go products which enable certain customers to access more favourable tariffs. The Group also supports customers with payment plan arrangements, for those customers who will, when able, provide payment, and will ultimately (for somecustomers, as appropriate based on the circumstances) progress legal and/or disconnection proceedings to mitigate further bad debt. In view of the Group’s effective hedging strategy against volatile market prices, and the Group’s ability to manage debt through various mitigating actions, the Board is confident that there will be no material impact relevant to the going concern assumption. While the bad debtpercentage has increased for the Group as a result of the impact of wider market challenges on our customers, our internal approaches andstrategies have mitigated this risk over the year and forecast to continue to do so going forward. Hedging arrangements and Trading Agreement A commodity trading arrangement between Shell and the main entities of the Group (including Yü Group PLC, Yü Energy Holding Limited and YüEnergy Retail Limited), extended in 2026 until 2032 (“the Trading Agreement”), enables the Group to purchase electricity and gas on forwardcommodity markets. The Trading Agreement enables forecasted customer demand to be hedged in accordance with an agreed risk mandate (further detailed in the Group’s risks and uncertainties reporting in the Strategic Report). This hedging position and the Board-defined riskstrategy has mitigated, and is expected to continue to mitigate, the impact on the Group from underlying movements in global commoditymarkets. As part of the Trading Agreement, as is customary for such arrangements, Shell provides access to commodity products and holds security overthe main trading assets of the Group which could, ultimately and in extreme and limited circumstances, lead to a claim on some or all of theassets of the Group. In return, Shell provides market access without the need to post cash collateral in the normal course of operation. The Board carefully modelled in detail, and continues to monitor, certain covenants related to profitability, net worth and liquidity associatedwith the Trading Agreement to assess the likelihood of any breach of such agreement and the impact any such breach would likely have. Suchscenarios include reduced gross margin and increased bad debt, and the impact these might have on the ability to maintain compliance with covenants.

After a detailed review, the Board has concluded that liquidity or covenant compliance scenario issues to be remote based on worst‐casescenario modelling that would impact the going concern status of the Group. Summary Following an extensive review of the Group’s forward business plan and associated risks and sensitivities to these base forecasts (and availablemitigation strategies), the Board concludes that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. The Board alsoconsiders that there is sufficient headroom to ensure the Group meets covenants based on various downside scenarios assessed. Accounting policies, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group The accounting policies applied in these interim statements are the same as those applied in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 31December 2025, with the exception of certain new interpretations and amendments adopted in the current period which had no significanteffect on the Group’s results. Alternative Performance Measures (“APMs”) The Group discloses Alternative Performance Measures (“APMs”) that are not defined by IFRS. The directors believe that the presentation ofAPMs provides stakeholders with additional helpful information on the performance of the business but does not consider them to be asubstitute for or superior to IFRS measures. The Group’s APMs are used to assist in measuring the performance of the business. The APMs are determined to offer valuable insights to usersof the Group’s financial statements by highlighting key value drivers and the effects of certain events and transactions on the entity’sperformance, financial position and cash flows. Adjusted results exclude certain items, because if included, these could distort the understanding of the Group’s performance. The definition, purpose and how the measures are reconciled to statutory measures are set out in note 2 and note3. Significant judgements and estimates The Group’s significant accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty are consistent with those described in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2025. 2. Reconciliation to adjusted EBITDANon-GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA represents profit before interest and tax, depreciation, amortisation, non-recurring business expense and equity-related share-based payment charges. The directors utilise adjusted EBITDA to make Group financial, strategic and operating decisions. The measure separates out certain items fromdefined IFRS measures because these are determined to assist users of these financial statements to evaluate business performance fromrecurring and normalised profitability that better align to operational cash flow (before the impact of working capital movements) and to obtain profitability margins as a percentage of revenue. This measure is frequently used by external stakeholders to evaluate financial performance andcompare performance of other industry competitors, and will assist users to understand and evaluate, in the same manner as management, themovement in Group’s operational performance on a comparable basis. As adjusted EBITDA can exclude significant costs or gains, it should not be regarded as a complete picture of the Group’s financial performance,which is presented in its total results. The reconciliation of operating profit and adjusted EBITDA is as follows: Notes 30 June2026 £’m 30 June2025 £’m 31 December2025 £’m Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation Operating profit 19.8 20.6 45.0Add back: Non-recurring operational costs1 0.2 – 0.6Share-based payments2 1.9 0.9 2.1Depreciation of property, plant and equipment 8 0.6 0.5 1.0 Depreciation of right-of-use assets 9 0.4 0.4 0.8Amortisation of intangibles 7 0.7 0.5 1.1 Adjusted EBITDA 23.6 22.9 50.6 1. The non-recurring operational costs exclude costs incurred in connection with the establishment of new business units, including early-stagedevelopment activities prior to the commencement of normal commercial operations. These costs do not relate to the performance of theGroup in the year or the ongoing operating performance and are incurred as part of discrete strategic initiatives intended to generate future growth. As they are outside of the normal course of business are therefore considered exceptional to the trading result. 2. Share-based payment charges on share options are excluded from adjusted EBITDA as they are not related to business operational tradingwhich provides clearer views of operating cash generation in the year. Further details of the share-based payments are documented in note15. Adjusted earnings per share Adjusted earnings per share is defined as earnings per share excluding adjusted items. The measure is determined by dividing profit after tax,adjusted for post-tax adjusted items (relating to non-recurring operational costs and share-based payment charges) by the weighted averagenumber of ordinary shares in issue during the financial period, excluding treasury shares held, and on a basic and fully diluted basis. This APM is a measure of management’s view of the Group’s underlying earnings per share. Refer to note 3 for a reconciliation between earnings per share and adjusted earnings per share. 3.

The Group entered into an additional £10m loan facility agreement in June 2025, in addition to an existing £5.2m facility agreed during 2023with Siemens Finance in relation to the finance of such meters. The amounts outstanding relate to the amounts drawn down on the total£15.2m facilities. Repayments are over a 10-year period with a bullet repayment, and with an interest rate fixed at the date of drawdown. The borrowings are fully secured on the assets of the wholly owned subsidiary entity, Kensington Meter Assets Limited. The bank loan is shown net of unamortised arrangement fees of £0.2m (2025: £0.2m) which are being amortised over the life of the loan. The contractual maturities (representing undiscounted contractual cash flows) of the bank loans are disclosed in note 13. 13.
