“We are satisfied with the financial  
performance in Q3 2025, showing solid  
results with a record-high operational  
EBITDA, driven by high activity across  
all business lines. During the quarter, we  
confirmed our strong market position  
with the preferred supplier announcement  
for the UK interconnector Eastern Green  
Link 3 and the firm order for the offshore  
power cable system for Bornholm Energy  
Island in Denmark. We also continued  
the advancement of our investments  
in production capacity and installation  
capabilities to meet the high demand for  
our power cable solutions.”

NKT A/S Interim report Q1-Q3 2025  
Key messages Q3 2025  
Free cash flow amounted to EUR  
-102m in Q3 2025, as the planned  
investments related to the capacity  
investment programmes more than  
offset cash flow from operations.  
The balance sheet remained robust,  
and at end-Q3 2025, net inter-  
In the third quarter of 2025, NKT maintained the positive development, with  
organic growth of 11% and a record-high quarterly operational EBITDA of  
EUR 119m. During the quarter, two important commercial successes were  
achieved and in parallel, the ongoing capacity investment programmes  
progressed as planned. The financial outlook for 2025 is maintained, but  
NKT now expects to conclude the year in the upper end of the ranges.  
est-bearing debt was EUR -640m.  
In Q3 2025, the high activity level  
and overall satisfactory execu-  
tion were maintained leading to  
increased revenue* and operational  
EBITDA across all three business  
lines. At group level, operational  
EBITDA amounted to EUR 119m – a  
record high for NKT. In Solutions,  
the development was driven by the  
high activity level and execution  
of the high-voltage order backlog,  
while Applications benefitted from  
the expanded medium-voltage  
capacity and continued robust  
demand in the power distribution  
grid segment. Service & Accesso-  
ries experienced a generally high  
activity level, supported by offshore  
repair jobs.  
During the third quarter of 2025,  
NKT announced two important  
commercial successes. In the UK,  
NKT was selected as preferred  
bidder for the HVDC intercon-  
nector Eastern Green Link 3. In  
Denmark, NKT signed a contract  
with Energinet to deliver a HVDC  
power cable system for the offshore  
interconnector linking the Bornholm  
Energy Island to the power grid of  
Zealand. The Danish project was  
added to the high-voltage order  
backlog, which at end-Q3 2025  
was EUR 10.4bn.

line with the plan during the quar-  
ter. Unchanged, NKT continues to  
expect the additional high-voltage  
capacity in Karlskrona, Sweden, and  
Cologne, Germany, as well as the  
new cable-laying vessel, to be opera-  
tional from 2027, while the additional  
medium-voltage capacity in Asnaes,  
Denmark, and Esposende, Portugal,  
is still expected to be operational  
from 2026 and 2027 respectively.  
The financial outlook for 2025 is  
maintained, but NKT now expects  
to conclude the year in the upper  
end of the ranges. Revenue (stand-  
ard metal prices) is expected to be  
approximately EUR 2.65-2.75bn and  
operational EBITDA is expected to  
be approximately EUR 360-390m.

NKT delivered organic growth of 11%, and operational EBITDA amounted  
to a new quarterly company record of EUR 119m in Q3 2025. Free cash  
flow was negative EUR 102m, driven by capital expenditures related to the  
ongoing investment programmes to expand capacity, which progressed in  
line with the plan during the quarter.

In Q3 2025, EBIT amounted to  
EUR 87m, an increase of EUR 21m  
compared to EUR 66m reported in  
Q3 2024, as the higher operational  
EBITDA was partly offset by an  
increase in depreciations and amor-  
tisations.  
EUR 71m in Q3 2024. Tax was EUR

Revenue* in Q3 2025 increased to  
EUR 726m compared to EUR 657m  
in Q3 2024, corresponding to an  
organic growth of 11%. In Solutions,  
the growth was driven by a high  
activity level and overall satisfactory  
project execution. The increased  
revenue in Applications was due  
to continued robust demand in the  
power distribution grid segment,  
supported by additional medi-  
um-voltage production capacity.  
In Service & Accessories, revenue  
growth was driven by offshore  
repair work and a high activity level  
Operational EBITDA increased to  
a new record-high level of EUR  
119m in Q3 2025 compared to EUR  
93m in Q3 2024. All three business  
lines achieved higher operational  
EBITDA in the quarter, driven by the  
increased revenue and high activity  
level across the business. The oper-

Financial items and net result  
Net financial items were an income  
of EUR 1m in Q3 2025 compared to

Cash flow from operating activities  
was EUR 68m in Q3 2025, com-  
pared to EUR -19m in Q3 2024,  
The positive development in oper-  
ational EBITDA was partly offset  
by changes in working capital,

sites. What began as a training  
NKT further supported the next  
generation of skilled professionals  
by sponsoring EuroSkills 2025 and  
supplying power cables for the elec-

place in Denmark.  
In Q3, NKT joined the First Movers  
Coalition aluminium sector, commit-  
ting that at least 10% of all primary  
aluminium procured annually will be  
low-carbon by 2030. Led by the World  
Economic Forum, the First Movers

NKT also expanded its portfolio  
of sustainable products with the  
introduction of the new KSEV S5  
switchgear termination. The solution  
is fully compatible with alternatives  
that are free of sulphur hexafluoride  
(SF6), a potent greenhouse gas,  
and complies with the CIGRE TB  
784 standard, allowing customers  
greater flexibility in their grid pro-  
jects. As part of the sustainability  
roadmap, the company intends to  
introduce additional SF6-free com-  
patible accessory products to its  
portfolio over the coming years.  
Sectors: Aluminium, aviation, carbon dioxide removal, cement and  
concrete, shipping, steel, and trucking  
Governance  
In Q3, NKT rolled out a new Sup-  
plier Code of Conduct to reinforce  
its commitments to integrity, sus-  
tainability, and ethical business  
practices. Aligned with the NKT  
Code of Conduct, it sets man-  
datory expectations for human  
rights, environmental responsibility,  
and responsible sourcing. The  
code serves as a key instrument  
to identify, prevent, and mitigate  
supplier-related risks and supports  
compliance with increasing market  
and regulatory requirements.  
By joining the initiative, NKT actively  
contributes to creating early market  
demand for low-carbon technolo-  
gies and supports innovation across  
the aluminium value chain. This step  
further aligns with NKT’s long-term  
ambition to reduce scope 3 emis-  
sions and enhance the sustainability  
of its core products. The initiative  
supports NKT’s strategic priority  
to continuously reduce the carbon  
intensity of its products and rein-  
NKT also continued its focus on  
employee development. In Q3, 70  
leaders began their journeys in the  
company’s leadership programmes,  
and 10 new graduates joined the  
NKT Graduate Programme. Addi-  
tionally, more than 100 colleagues  
in Karlskrona participated in training  
sessions on psychological safety  
and belonging.

Revenue measured in market prices  
amounted to EUR 526m in Q3 2025  
compared to EUR 488m in Q3 2024.  
Highlights  
Organic revenue growth and improved profitability  
Revenue* for the Solutions business  
line was EUR 459m in Q3 2025 up  
from EUR 429m in Q3 2024, corre-  
sponding to organic growth of 8%.  
Growth was driven by high activity  
level across several projects in exe-  
cution and previous investments  
made to increase organisational  
capabilities. The project execution  
was overall satisfactory in the quar-  
ter. NKT continued to progress and  
execute on several projects through  
varying stages of execution in Q3  
2025. These projects included  
Champlain Hudson Power Express,  
Hornsea 3, East Anglia 3, Biscay  
Gulf, SuedLink, and SuedOstLink.

In the first three quarters of 2025, rev-  
enue* for Solutions amounted to EUR  
1,297m, an increase of EUR 168m  
compared to EUR 1,129m reported  
in the same period last year. Organic  
growth for the first three quarters of  
2025 was 15%, driven by the same  
parameters as in Q3 2025.  
Operational EBITDA in the first three  
quarters of 2025 was EUR 197m,

Increased operational EBITDA  
Operational EBITDA amounted to  
EUR 74m in Q3 2025 up from EUR  
66m reported in Q3 2024. This  
corresponded to an operational  
EBITDA-margin of 16.0% compared  
to 15.5% in the same quarter last

ment with TenneT as well as two  
projects awarded under the frame-  
work agreement with SSEN Trans-  
mission. Combined, these awards  
have an estimated value exceeding  
EUR 3.5bn.  
NKT continued the execution of the  
high-voltage investments to expand  
capacity during Q3 2025, and the  
projects progressed as planned  
during the quarter. At the site in  
Karlskrona, Sweden, the intense  
execution continued across sev-  
eral workstreams. The installation  
of machinery progressed in both  
the new extrusion tower and the  
surrounding buildings. Progress on  
the harbour was also on track, with  
dredging work to increase water  
depth advancing as planned. On  
NKT's second cable-laying vessel,  
NKT Eleonora, construction also  
progressed as planned with sev-  
eral of the hull sections now being  
assembled and the construction of  
the cable turntables initiated. The  
timeline for new production capacity  
in Karlskrona and the new cable-lay-  
ing vessel remain unchanged, with  
both expected to gradually become  
operational from 2027.

during the third quarter. Installation  
of machinery progressed during Q3  
2025, and the production capacity is  
expected to be operational in 2027.  
At end-Q3 2025, the high-voltage  
order backlog was EUR 10.4bn  
(EUR 9.2bn at standard metal  
power cables market during the  
period. Continued strong demand for  
high-voltage production and instal-  
lation capacity was mainly for HVDC  
technology, where NKT is well-po-  
sitioned as a market leader. With  
the recent commercial successes  
and the current high order backlog,  
NKT remains focused on securing  
selected projects that will enable  
optimal mix between production and  
installation to maximise earnings.  
Beyond the investments in produc-  
tion and installation capacity, NKT  
is also investing in installation tools  
capabilities. To strengthen near-shore

increased to EUR 208m, compared  
to EUR 183m in Q3 2024, corre-  
sponding to an organic growth of  
12%. The positive development

The higher revenue driven by the  
power distribution grid segment  
led to an operational EBITDA of  
EUR 22m compared to EUR 14m  
in Q3 2024. Operational EBITDA  
in the same quarter last year was  
negatively affected by non-recurring

dAl including costs of approximately  
EUR 4m related to revaluation of  
inventories. The operational EBITDA-  
margin was 10.7% in Q3 2025 com-

In Q3 2025, the Applications busi-  
ness line experienced varied devel-  
opments across the market seg-  
ments. Demand for medium-voltage  
cables remained robust and sup-  
ported by the increased production  
capacity, drove increased volumes  
and revenue in the quarter. In the  
construction-exposed segment, the  
overall demand remained subdued,  
but it also varied between local  
markets and segments. This led to a  
lower revenue in this segment.  
The capacity expansion investments  
at the Esposende site in Portugal  
also progressed as planned during  
Q3 2025, and the additional capacity  
is still expected to be operational in  
2027.

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

As announced 28 August 2025 the  
NKT A/S (NKT) Czech subsidiary,  
NKT s.r.o. has received a “Request  
Before the Issuing of a Decision”  
alleged infringements forming basis of  
its suggested fine and has submitted  
its reasoned defence to the author-  
ities. NKT expects a final decision  
from the Antimonopoly Office within  
six to twelve months from now. If the  
Request is upheld, NKT will consider  
all available legal remedies, includ-  
ing appeal to the Slovak courts. In a  
related case, NKT s.r.o. is currently  
under investigation by the Office for  
the Protection of Competition in the  
Czech Republic along with five other  
cable manufacturers and is currently  
awaiting the outcome of the investiga-  
tion. NKT regards this matter with the  
utmost seriousness, and the company  
remains committed to full coopera-  
tion with authorities and to upholding

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.
