Key messages H1 2025  
Free cash flow amounted to EUR  
-175m in Q2 2025, mainly driven  
by the ongoing investment pro-  
grammes. At end-Q2 2025, NKT  
maintained a robust balance sheet,  
with net interest-bearing debt of  
EUR -757m.  
NKT maintained a high activity level and overall satisfactory execution  
across all three business lines in the first half of 2025. In parallel, execution  
on ongoing capacity investments continued as planned. In Q2 2025, NKT  
delivered organic growth of 13% and a record-high operational EBITDA of  
EUR 105m. The financial outlook for 2025 is updated.  
In Q2 2025, the activity level was  
high and execution overall satisfac-  
tory across all three business lines.  
In Solutions, revenue increased  
driven by continued execution of  
the high-voltage order backlog and  
a high activity level. In Applications,  
the expanded medium-voltage  
capacity, demand in the power  
distribution grid segment, and  
the inclusion of SolidAl were the  
drivers of increased revenue and  
operational EBITDA. In Service and  
Accessories, the activity level was  
high and execution satisfactory in  
both business areas.  
In the first half of 2025, NKT con-  
tinued to execute on high-voltage  
capacity investments, which pro-  
gressed according to plan. The new  
high-voltage production capacity  
in Karlskrona, Sweden, the new  
cable-laying vessel, NKT Eleon-  
ora, and additional capacity in the  
high-voltage factory in Cologne,  
Germany, are, as previously men-  
tioned, expected to be operational  
from 2027.  
At end-Q2 2025, NKT’s high-volt-  
age order backlog was EUR 10.1bn,  
slightly down from EUR 10.7bn at  
end-Q1 2025.

With a high activity level across all three business lines, NKT delivered  
organic growth of 13% and a record-high operational EBITDA of EUR 105m  
in Q2 2025. Driven by ongoing investments across business lines, free cash  
was negative, EUR -175m. The higher level of capital expenditures is a  
reflection of the ongoing investments, which progressed according to plan  
during the quarter.

During the second quarter, the EU  
recognised the expansion of NKT’s  
high-voltage power cable factory  
in Karlskrona as the first European  
net-zero strategic project under the  
EU Net-Zero Industry Act.  
Climate action  
Be a leader in driving the green

Responsible  
business conduct  
The factory in Cologne has suc-  
cessfully implemented a measure  
in production processes to reduce  
natural gas consumption, thereby  
contributing to the fulfilment of  
the scope 1 and 2 science-based  
target.  
In Q2, NKT was ranked number 18  
on Corporate Knights’ inaugural list  
of Europe’s 50 Most Sustainable  
Corporations. The ranking high-  
lights, in particular, companies’  
product handprint* through the  
contribution of its business activities  
and investments to a more sustain-  
able future.  
Operate as a trusted partner and  
employer. Sustainability impact,  
risks, and opportunities are inte-  
grated into business processes  
and the overall business.  
Governance  
In Q2, NKT launched an enhanced  
internal compliance review program  
as a way of strengthening the inter-  
nal control environment within key  
compliance areas such as anti-cor-  
ruption and ethics.  
This recognition underscores the  
strategic importance of subsea  
power cables in decarbonising  
Europe and interconnecting its  
power grids to strengthen the secu-  
rity of supply.  
Sustainable value  
proposition and circularity  
Offer a sustainable value proposi-  
tion through the lifecycle of prod-  
ucts and solutions, and actively  
pursue zero waste through  
circularity.  
During the quarter, NKT launched  
its first Environmental Product Dec-  
larations (EPDs) for cable acces-  
sories, marking an important step  
in its sustainability journey. This  
follows the earlier release of EPDs  
for NKT’s medium- and low-voltage  
cable ranges. These new EPDs  
provide transparent, standardised  
data on the environmental impact of  
NKT’s products, enabling custom-  
This recognition thereby reflects the  
impact of NKT’s cable solutions,  
which are essential to electrification  
and the decarbonisation of energy  
systems.  
The program ensures a consistent  
approach to verifying the compli-  
ance levels within NKT sites and  
enables relevant corrective and miti-  
gating actions to be undertaken.  
In Q2, NKT signed a landmark  
long-term supply agreement with  
Hydro to secure a stable supply  
of low-carbon aluminium wire rod  
until 2033. This partnership is an  
important enabler of NKT’s decar-  
bonisation ambitions, supporting

* Product handprint

quarter of 2024. The reduced mar-  
gin* was primarily driven by a less  
favourable project mix and certain  
variation orders executed at a rela-  
tively lower margin. Quarterly profit-  
ability margins will continue to vary  
depending on the phasing of pro-  
jects in execution. Project execution  
was overall satisfactory, and NKT  
remains focused on managing risks  
associated with a large high-voltage  
project portfolio.  
Organic revenue growth driven by high activity level  
Revenue* for Solutions amounted  
to EUR 450m in Q2 2025, up from  
EUR 379m in Q2 2024, correspond-  
ing to organic growth of 18%.  
Growth was driven by overall sat-  
isfactory project execution, high  
activity level across several projects,  
specific variation orders, and previ-  
ous investments made to increase  
organisational capabilities. NKT  
continued to progress and execute  
on several projects through varying  
stages of execution in Q2 2025.  
These projects included Champlain  
Hudson Power Express, Hornsea 3,  
East Anglia 3, SuedLink, and Sued-

2025 installation of machinery has  
commenced, and the additional  
capacity is expected to be opera-  
tional in 2027.  
High-voltage order backlog  
at a continued high level  
as two projects awarded under a  
framework agreement from SSEN  
Transmission. Combined, these  
have an estimated value exceeding  
EUR 3.5bn.  
Continued high market  
activity in H1 2025  
At end-Q2 2025, the high-voltage  
order backlog was EUR 10.1bn  
(EUR 8.9bn at standard metal  
prices) compared to EUR 10.7bn  
(EUR 9.4bn at standard metal  
prices) at end-Q1 2025. During  
the quarter, NKT supplemented  
its high-voltage order backlog  
with a number of relatively smaller  
orders, including variation orders  
to existing projects. NKT’s backlog  
position does not include five pro-  
jects awarded under a framework  
agreement from TenneT, as well  
NKT estimates that around EUR  
3bn in projects was awarded in its  
addressable high-voltage power  
cable market. Continued strong  
demand for high-voltage production  
and installation capacity was mainly  
for HVDC technology, where NKT is  
well-positioned as a market leader.  
As a natural extension of the invest-  
ments in production and installation  
capacity, NKT is also investing in  
improved installation capabilities.  
In Q2 2025, NKT announced its  
investment in a new powerful sub-  
sea trencher to enhance the safe  
deployment of power cable infra-  
structure, which is critical to ensur-  
ing the security of supply and the  
transition to renewable energy.  
The composition of the order back-  
log divided per customer type was  
around 90% with European Trans-  
mission System Operators, and the  
remaining balance with other types  
of customers. Divided by applica-  
tion, the backlog was split around  
55% interconnectors, around 40%  
offshore wind projects, and less  
than 5% power-from-shore projects.  
Tender activity continued on a high  
level in Q2 2025. During the quar-  
ter, progress continued on several  
project tenders across market seg-  
ments and activities. The timing of  
actual project awards will depend  
on the timelines for the individual  
projects. With a record-high order  
backlog, NKT remains focused  
on securing selected projects that  
will enable optimal production and  
installation mix, thereby maximising  
earnings.

Highlights  
In Q2 2025, market development  
continued to differ between seg-  
ments. Demand for medium-voltage  
power cables remained robust,  
especially driven by distribution sys-  
tem operators, while the construc-  
tion-exposed segment remained  
subdued.  
The investments in medium-voltage  
capacity across existing production  
sites progressed as planned. The  
investments in Sweden and Czech  
Republic were completed in Q1 2025  
and the additional capacity in Den-  
mark is expected to come online from  
2026 as planned.  
In Q2 2025, revenue* increased  
to EUR 234m, compared to EUR  
175m in Q2 2024. The increase was  
driven by the SolidAl acquisition and  
organic growth of 11%, mainly due to  
increased medium-voltage capacity  
compared to last year. In the power  
distribution grid segment, volumes  
continued to be healthy, while  
demand in the construction-exposed  
segment remained subdued with  
volumes and prices below the level  
of Q2 2024.  
Organic growth due to increased medium-  
Operational EBITDA margin of 13%  
Higher revenue, driven by the  
voltage capacity.  
SolidAl acquisition and increased  
medium-voltage capacity, led to an  
operational EBITDA of EUR 31m  
compared to EUR 21m in Q2 2024.  
The operational EBITDA margin was  
13.0% in Q2 2025, up from 11.8% in  
the same quarter last year, driven by  
the SolidAl acquisition and robust  
demand in the power distribution  
grid segment. Compared to Q2  
2024, the margin was negatively  
impacted by development in the  
construction-exposed segment.  
Double-digit EBITDA-margin driven by robust  
power distribution grid segment.  
Medium-voltage capacity investments  
progressed as planned.  
During the quarter, incremental  
improvement compared to Q1 2025  
was observed in both segments. In  
the power distribution grid segment,  
the increased competitive environ-  
ment in selected markets observed  
in Q1 eased slightly driven by robust  
volume demand. In the construc-  
tion-exposed segment, a slight  
sequential volume improvement  
was seen during the quarter, driven  
by a modest increase in construc-  
tion activity.  
The announced investment in Portu-  
gal is also progressing as planned.  
During the quarter, construction work  
continued and the additional capacity  
is expected to be operational in 2027.  
Revenue expressed in market prices  
amounted to EUR 392m in Q2 2025,  
up from EUR 322m in Q2 2024.  
The integration of SolidAl progressed  
as planned in Q2 and NKT is on track  
with realising synergies of EUR 7m  
per year by end-2026. During the  
quarter, NKT completed the rebrand-  
ing of SolidAl to NKT, marking an  
important step in the integration of  
SolidAl.  
Operational EBITDA in the first two  
quarters of 2025 was EUR 49m, up  
from EUR 37m in the same quarters  
of 2024.  
Revenue* in the first half of 2025

Revenue* for Service & Accessories  
amounted to EUR 70m in Q2 2025,  
up from EUR 64m in Q2 2024,  
corresponding to organic growth  
of 7%. The growth was driven by  
the Accessories business. Organic  
growth in the Service business was  
slightly negative, as revenue in Q2  
2024 was extraordinarily high due to  
offshore repair work related to a leg-  
acy service agreement. The activity  
level in Q2 2025 was high in both  
the Service and the Accessories  
businesses.  
Service & Accessories achieved  
an operational EBITDA of EUR  
14m in Q2 2025, more than double  
compared to EUR 5m in Q2 2024.  
The improvement was driven by  
increased profitability in both busi-  
ness areas. The operational EBITDA  
margin* increased to 20.2% com-  
pared to an unsatisfactory level of  
7.1% in Q2 2024, where the margin  
was negatively impacted by offshore  
repair work related to a legacy ser-  
vice agreement with an unusually  
low margin.  
The Service business maintained a  
high activity level in Q2 2025, driven  
by a variety of activities including  
repair jobs, maintenance projects,  
and installation works. Profitability  
increased compared to Q2 2024,  
driven by satisfactory execution  
and the comparison quarter being  
impacted by repair work related to  
the legacy service agreement.

Revenue in Accessories increased  
in Q2 2025, driven by higher rev-

by both Service and Accessories.  
High activity level and satisfactory execution in  
both offshore and onshore Service business.  
Improved execution, enhanced capabilities and

During Q2 2025, NKT successfully  
supplied and jointed parts of the  
power cable system for the Dutch  
section of the NorNed intercon-  
nector between Norway and the  
Netherlands. The interconnector  
plays a significant role in the energy  
transition and transmission security  
of the European power supply.  
Ramp-up of HVDC accessories  
production and capabilities con-  
tinued during the quarter with NKT  
expanding accessories capacity.  
During the quarter, construction of  
a new test hall in Alingsas, Swe-  
den, was completed. The new test  
capacity is now operational and  
undergoing a sequenced ramp-up.

Accounting policies and new  
standards and interpretations  
This condensed consolidated interim  
financial report for the period 1 Janu-  
ary 2025 – 30 June 2025 is prepared  
in accordance with IAS 34 ‘Interim  
Financial Reporting, which has been  
approved by the EU and Danish  
disclosure requirements for interim  
reports for listed companies.  
The interim report includes financial  
EURm  
performance measures that are not  
defined according to IFRS Account-  
ing Standards. These measures are  
considered to provide valuable infor-  
mation to stakeholders and Manage-  
ment. Since other companies might  
calculate these differently from NKT,  
they may not be comparable to the  
measures applied by other compa-  
nies. These financial measures should  
therefore not be considered a replace-  
ment for performance measures as  
defined under IFRS Accounting Stand-  
ards, but rather as supplementary  
information. Alternative performance  
measures are defined in Definitions.

The Board of Directors and the Exec-  
utive Management have today consid-  
ered and adopted the interim report of  
NKT A/S for the period 1 January – 30

Brondby, 14 August 2025  
Executive Management  
The interim report for the period  
1 January – 30 June 2025, which has  
not been audited or reviewed by the  
company auditor, has been prepared  
in accordance with IAS 34 ‘Interim  
Financial Reporting, as approved by

Board of Directors  
In our opinion the interim report gives  
a true and fair view of the Group’s  
assets, liabilities, and financial position  
on 30 June 2025 and the results of the  
Group’s activities and cash flow for  
the period 1 January – 30 June 2025.

Furthermore, in our opinion, the  
Management’s review includes a fair  
account of the development and per-  
formance of the Group, the results for  
the period, and of the financial posi-  
tion of the Group. Other than that set  
forth in the interim report, no changes  
have occurred to the significant risks  
and uncertainty factors compared  
with those disclosed in the annual  
report for 2024.
