HIGHLIGHTS − THIRD QUARTER 2025  
Group results  
Business highlights  
Guidance  
Net profit for the Group amounted to USD 26  
million (USD 25 million) in the third quarter of  
2025, driven by the Asset Management unit which  
delivered another strong quarter supported by  
solid operating earnings and vessel sales.  
Geopolitical tensions are disrupting trade  
routes and adding operational complexity,  
which is generally supporting freight rates.  
NORDEN is well positioned to adapt and  
continue to deliver a reliable, high-quality  
service to our customers.  
The 2025 full-year guidance that was raised  
as per Company announcement no. 225 on  
October 28 is maintained. As such, on the  
back of better-than-expected operational  
performance and rising markets we expect a  
net profit in the range of USD 100–140 million  
(previously USD 70–130 million). This includes  
gains from sale of vessels of USD 73 million  
(previously USD 70 million).  
Group net profit amounted to USD 111 million  
in the first nine months of 2025, of which USD 43  
million came from combined operating earnings  
across the Group and USD 68 million were sales  
gains.  
Higher forward rates and asset values  
strengthened our NAV to DKK 362 per share,  
highlighting our upside potential in rising  
markets.  
The Asset Management unit is expected to  
continue to benefit from strong operating  
earnings driven by profitable coverage and a  
firm tanker spot market.  
Strong operational cashflow of USD 96 million in  
the third quarter and USD 318 million in the first  
nine months of 2025.  
In line with our strategy to realise high portfolio  
values, we have sold 22 vessels in the first  
nine months of 2025, of which 15 were from  
declared purchase options.  
Operating earnings in the Freight Services &  
Trading unit are expected to improve towards  
break-even levels in the fourth quarter of 2025.  
Return on invested capital (ROIC) in the last  
twelve months (LTM) was 10% (15%).  
In addition, we have year-to-date purchased  
one vessel and signed 22 new lease  
agreements with purchase options.  
Third quarter distribution of USD 20 million  
through an interim dividend of DKK 2 per share  
and a new share buy-back programme of USD 10  
million.  
By end-October 2025, NORDEN had a long  
position of 1,330 open tanker vessel days and  
1,020 dry cargo days for the remainder of  
2025.  
A strong quarterly increase in asset values drove NAV to DKK 362 per share, highlighting our significant potential in dynamic asset  
markets. As a result of the better-than-expected operational performance and rising markets, we raised our full-year net profit guid-  
ance on October 28 to USD 100-140 million.

COMMENTS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE THIRD QUARTER 2025  
Earnings  
The net profit for the third quarter of 2025 increased  
by 4% Y/Y to USD 26 million (USD 25 million).  
Cash flow from financing activities was USD -102  
million (USD -132 million), as a result of cash  
distributions to shareholders through dividends  
and share buy-backs as well as instalments on  
lease liabilities.  
The time charter equivalent revenue (TCE) in the  
third quarter of 2025 decreased by 34% to USD  
454 million (USD 684 million), due to lower activity  
levels. Compared to the third quarter last year, the  
contribution margin decreased by 21% to USD  
104 million (USD 131 million), as a result of the  
lower TCE revenue.  
Cash flows  
Strong operating cash flow of USD 96 million (USD  
136 million), positively impacted by the profit  
in the quarter but offset by lower reversals and  
sublease receivables instalments.  
Free cash flow was USD 143 million (USD -61  
million), mainly as a result of higher proceeds  
from sale of vessels in 2025.  
Group EBITDA decreased by 6% Y/Y to USD 108  
million (USD 115 million), reflecting a stronger  
margin of 24% compared to 17% in Q3 2024. Sale  
of vessels contributed with USD 27 million in Q3  
2025.  
Cash flow from investing activities was USD 130  
million in Q3 2025 compared to USD -97 million in  
Q3 2024, mainly due to a higher level of proceeds  
from sale of vessels.

A high equity ratio of 55.3% underscores our  
strong capital structure which provides both  
resilience to withstand market fluctuations and  
flexibility for future investments to support  
continued growth. NORDEN shareholders’  
share of equity as of end Q3 2025 was USD  
1,289 million (USD 1,297 million end FY 2024),  
reflecting the positive net profit for the period and  
allocation to shareholders during the quarter.  
NAV sensitivity  
DKK per share  
Net asset value and share buy-backs  
The estimated Net asset value (NAV) by end Q3  
2025 increased to DKK 362 per share, driven by a  
strong appreciation in asset values in the quarter.  
Our Capesize investments are a particular key  
driver of this development, with asset values for  
5-year old Capesize vessels rising by 14% since  
the start of the year. With six vessels currently  
on the water and six newbuildings in progress,  
we have significant unrealised value and strong

The NAV estimate is sensitive to changes in market levels. A 10% in-  
crease or decline in both asset values and forward rates would lead  
to a NAV of DKK 426 or DKK 297 per share, while a 20% increase or  
decline would lead to a NAV of DKK 252 or DKK 496 per share at  
the end of Q3.

Services & Trading unit where we are redelivering  
expensive period vessels to improve profitability.  
In regards to decarbonisation, we have reduced  
EEOI by 15% by the end of the third quarter  
compared to our baseline in 2022, and we are on  
track to deliver on the 2030 target of a reduction  
of min. 16% in EEOI.  
Update on the  
Strategic Scorecard  
During the quarter, the profitability in the Freight  
Services & Trading unit continued to be impacted  
by challenging markets, and the EBITDA margin  
amounted to USD -488 per day, well below the  
target of USD 500 per day. However, over the  
past five years, the average margin has been USD  
1,252 per day and thus well above our long-term  
target.  
The value creation based on the return on  
invested capital (ROIC) has in the last twelve  
months been 10%. However, during the past five  
years, ROIC has been on average 24% and thus  
well above our target of 12%.  
While targeting total shareholder returns (TSR) of  
min. 10% per year on average, the returns in the  
last twelve months have been negative 8%. In the  
past five years, NORDEN has however generated

MARKET DEVELOPMENTS  
the South American grain exports continued  
Chinese domestic policies and special port fees  
placed on select operators all have the ability to  
impact both volumes and general efficiency of  
global trade. Market conditions in 2026 should  
therefore be expected to be fairly volatile.  
Long-term fundamentals remain strong due  
to the ageing fleet and limited yard capacity  
combined with a low orderbook and asset values  
which continue to be well supported by high  
newbuilding costs.  
while by late September stronger refining margins  
pushed more product onto the water.  
Shipping markets were surprisingly  
resilient in Q3 2025, with improving  
spot rates in both dry and tankers.  
Asset values also increased in  
both segments during the quarter,  
reflecting stronger market conditions  
with higher freight rates.  
longer than usual into Q3, with China seeking  
alternative supplies amid the US trade tensions.  
Global economic conditions remained broadly  
supportive, with limited negative effects from  
ongoing trade disturbances.  
Going forward, a stronger crude production and  
OPEC’s plan for continuous increases should  
have a positive impact on product tanker rates,  
as more vessels move into the crude trade. In  
addition to this, we see ever increasing sanctions  
on both oil trade and vessels which will further  
support the market in the rest of 2025 and into  
2026. Accelerating newbuilding deliveries should  
gradually put downward pressure on the tanker  
market during 2026 and 2027, but the industry is  
still faced with a significant ageing of the fleet and  
limited available yard capacity.  
Looking forward, the underlying economic  
growth is expected to be reasonably healthy,  
but supply growth in the mid-size segments  
may outweigh demand in 2026. In the Capesize  
segment, demand will be supported by growth  
in iron ore volumes out of the Simandou project  
in Guinea and this should support the supply/  
demand balance. However, the outlook continues  
to be shaped by the considerable geopolitical  
uncertainty. Trade tensions, Red Sea transits,  
Dry cargo market  
The dry cargo market showed strength in Q3  
2025. This was very much driven by a strong  
rebound in the global coal trade. After a weak H1  
2025 the coal trade in the Pacific picked up, with  
especially China importing significantly higher  
volumes. In addition to the stronger coal trade,  
Product tanker market  
The product tanker spot market was softer in the  
first half of the year, but has seen a recovery in the  
third quarter. Refinery maintenance and outages  
in Europe and Middle East disrupted supply and  
constrained export volumes early in the quarter,

The Dry operator (small vessels) EBITDA improved  
to USD 9 million (USD 5 million), as a result of  
good operational performance. EBITDA per vessel

However, the Dry operator (large vessels) EBITDA  
improved only slightly to USD -26 million (USD -30  
million), due to underperformance mainly in the  
Capesize segment as a result of high vessel costs  
to service lower paying cargo commitments.  
As an element of this initiative, we are also steadily  
increasing our long-term focus on the high-return  
business. As such, our focus on building a core  
MPP fleet and growing our presence in the project  
cargo market has continued in October 2025  
with the addition of four new MPP vessel leases  
with purchase options. Year-to-date, we have  
announced in total 14 new MPP vessel leases with  
purchase options that will be leased by the Asset  
Management unit and relet to Freight Services &  
Trading.

While margins improved towards the end of  
the quarter, the overall performance remains  
unsatisfactory. We continue to focus on  
redelivering expensive period tonnage while  
opportunistically adding attractive new tonnage  
to strengthen our portfolio. This is in turn leading  
to lower activity levels, which are down Y/Y  
but remained stable compared to the previous  
quarter this year.

The notable gain in asset prices during the third  
quarter is underscoring our unique optionality  
and exposure to upside potential. NORDEN’s vast  
portfolio provides significant value upside in an  
increasing market, with 68,620 extension option  
days and 83 purchase options across both dry  
cargo and tankers. Of the portfolio, 39 purchase  
options were in the money as of end Q3 and can be  
declared within the next two years at average strike  
prices that are currently 15% below broker values.

The business unit continues to benefit from strong  
operating earnings driven by high and profitable  
coverage. The tanker owner EBITDA amounted  
to USD 39 million, driven by good exposure to  
a strong tanker market. The Dry owner EBITDA  
increased to USD 23 million, driven partly by  
strong Capesize TCE earnings.  
Note: For reconciliation with IFRS 16 financial accounts, please see  
note 2.  
In line with our strategy to realise high asset values,  
we have sold 22 vessels during the first nine months  
of 2025. 17 vessels were from the active fleet and  
five newbuildings were sold before delivery, but  
will be leased back on time-charter. In total, 15  
of the sold vessels were from declared purchase  
options, of which five already were declared at the  
end of 2024. In total, 11 purchase options have  
been declared in the first nine months of 2025.  
Sales gains of USD 5 million are expected to be  
realised at delivery in Q4 2025, all of which are  
related to the sale of dry bulk vessels.  
In parallel with declaring purchase options and  
selling vessels, we are also entering new lease  
agreements with purchase options to ensure we  
stay positioned for future upside. Despite declaring  
11 purchase options, we still have 83 purchase  
options in our portfolio as of Q3 end - compared  
to year-end 2024, when we had 79. Year-to-date,  
we have entered 22 new lease agreements with  
purchase options, of which 14 are Multi-purpose  
(MPP) vessels.  
In the quarter, we have also purchased a  
Japanese-built wide-beam Panamax, which aligns  
closely with our current cargo needs and reflects  
our strategy of optimising our fleet to meet  
specific market demands.  
Combined Asset Management EBITDA increased  
by 24% to USD 62 million (USD 50 million),  
reflecting a margin of 43.6% (33.1%). The increase  
in EBITDA is a result of the higher gains from sales  
of vessels in Q3 2025 compared to Q3 2024. In

OUTLOOK FOR 2025  
Guidance  
Freight Services & Trading  
Distribution policy  
Further information  
Therese Möllevinge  
Head of Investor Relations  
+45 41 37 16 38  
The 2025 full-year guidance that was raised  
as per Company announcement no. 225 on  
October 28 is maintained. As such, on the  
back of better-than-expected operational  
performance and rising markets we expect a  
net profit in the range of USD 100–140 million  
(previously USD 70–130 million). This includes  
gains from sale of vessels of USD 73 million  
(previously USD 70 million).  
The Freight Services & Trading unit continues to  
encounter headwinds in a challenging market  
environment, but operating earnings are expected  
to improve towards break-even levels in the fourth  
quarter of 2025.  
NORDEN’s policy to distribute minimum 50% of  
the net profit for the full-year through dividends  
and share buy-back programmes, remains  
unchanged.

Events after the reporting date  
Asset Management  
No significant events have occurred between the  
reporting date and the publication of the annual  
report, which have not already been included  
and adequately disclosed in the quarterly report,  
and which materially affect the assessment of the  
Company’s and Group’s results of operations or  
financial position.  
The Asset Management unit is expected to  
continue to benefit from strong operating  
earnings driven by profitable coverage and  
a firm tanker spot market.  
By end-October 2025, NORDEN had a long  
position of 1,330 open tanker vessel days and  
1,020 dry cargo days for the remainder of  
2025.  
Forward-looking statements  
This interim report contains certain forward-looking  
statements reflecting Management’s present judgement  
of future events and financial results. Statements relating  
to 2025 and the years ahead are inherently subject to  
uncertainty, and NORDEN’s realised results may therefore  
differ from projections. Factors that may cause NORDEN’s  
realised results to differ from the projections in this report  
include, but are not limited to: Changes to macroeco-  
nomic and political conditions – particularly in the Group’s  
principal markets; changes to NORDEN’s rate assumptions  
and budgeted operating expenses; volatility in freight  
rates and tonnage prices; regulatory changes; counterpar-  
ty risks; any disruptions to traffic and operations as a result  
of external events etc.  
On the back of better-than-expected operational performance and rising markets, we  
raised our full-year net profit guidance on October 28 to USD 100-140 million.

NOTES TO THE  
INTERIM FINANCIAL  
STATEMENTS  
1. Basis of preparation and changes to NORDEN’s accounting policies  
1.1 Basis of preparation  
interpretations or amendments have had any significant effect on the  
accounting policies applied by NORDEN.  
The interim consolidated financial statements for the nine months  
ended 30 September 2025 have been prepared in accordance  
with IAS 34 Interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU and  
additional Danish disclosure requirements for the interim financial  
reporting of listed companies.  
Standards not yet in force  
The Group intends to adopt new and amended standards and  
interpretations, if applicable, when they become effective. New and  
amended financial reporting standards are either irrelevant or insig-  
nificant to NORDEN, except for IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure  
in Financial statements, which was issued in April 2024 and will be  
effective from 2027. NORDEN is currently evaluating the potential  
impact of this standard on its financial statements.

2. Operational segment information  
3. Segregation of revenue  
The interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the  
information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements  
and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual consolidated  
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.  
4. Operating expenses  
Significant accounting estimates and judgements  
5. Financial income and expenses  
6. Fair value adjustment – hedging instruments  
7. Intangible assets  
The accounting policies, judgements and estimates are consistent  
with those applied in the consolidated annual report for 2024, apart  
from changes described below.  
The accounting estimates and judgements, which Management  
deems to be significant to the preparation of the consolidated  
financial statements, are impairment test and non-lease component  
for leases under IFRS 16 Leases. For further description a reference is  
made to note 1.4 “Significant accounting estimates and judgements”  
in the consolidated financial statements for 2024.  
8. Vessels  
For a complete description of accounting policies, see the notes to  
the consolidated financial statements for 2024, pages 103-105 in the  
consolidated annual report for 2024.  
9. Leases – lessee  
10. Prepayments on vessels and newbuildings  
11. Assets held for sale  
1.3 Change of presentation  
With effect from 1 January 2024, shipping was included in the EU  
Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). NORDEN complies with the  
legislation and currently the impact of the EU ETS on our financial  
statements is immaterial.  
As of 2025, the Group has changed the presentation of gains from  
the sale of vessels in the consolidated income statement. Previously,  
these gains were presented below EBITDA. Starting from 2025, they  
are presented as part of operating profit (EBITDA).  
12. Related party disclosure  
13. Contingent assets and liabilities  
14. Overview of deliveries of owned vessels and CapEx  
15. Events after the reporting date  
1.2 Changes in accounting policies and disclosures  
The change reflects Management’s assessment that the active trading  
of vessels is a core element of NORDEN’s operational business within  
Asset Management. As such, vessel sales are considered a recurring  
and integrated part of the operating activities.  
The Group has adopted standards and interpretations effective as of 1  
January 2025. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, inter-  
pretation or amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective.  
Adoption of new or amended IFRS standards  
NORDEN has implemented amendments and interpretations to  
existing standards effective as of 1 January 2025. None of these  
Comparative figures have been restated accordingly to ensure con-  
sistency and comparability. Net profit and earnings per share are not  
impacted by the change of presentation.  
 
Third Quarter 2025  
NORDEN Interim Financial Report  
17  
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
The total number of reportable segments remains six. These changes have no impact on EBITDA, net profit, or earnings per  
share in either 2024 or 2025. Segment performance continues to be reported on an EBITDA basis, excluding the impact of  
IFRS 16, in line with internal reporting to the CODM. Comparative figures have been restated accordingly. Additional seg-  
ment financials are disclosed in Note 2.  
1.4 Change of Segment reporting  
Effective 1 January 2025, NORDEN updated its reportable segments in accordance with IFRS 8 – Operating Segments. The  
change reflects the way in which the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), being the Executive Manage-  
ment, now monitors and manages the business and allocates resources across the Group.  
The Group’s definition of its cash-generating units (CGUs) was also updated in Q1 2025 to align with the revised segment  
structure.  
The updated segmentation followed a review of the Group’s internal management structure and performance evaluation  
processes. As a result, the Group reorganised its activities into more operationally distinct components, to better reflect  
differences in commercial focus, capital allocation, and strategic oversight. Under the revised structure, the Freight Services  
& Trading (FS&T) unit was initially split into four separate reportable segments:  
1.5 Change in Cash-Generating Units (CGUs)  
Dry operator  
As a result of organisational changes and the revised segment structure described in Note 2, NORDEN reassessed its identi-  
fication of cash-generating units (CGUs) in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets.  
Tanker operator  
Projects & Parcelling (P&P)  
Logistics  
Previously, the Group identified two CGUs – Dry Cargo and Tankers – based on how cash inflows were generated and how  
performance was monitored and managed internally. Following the establishment of Projects & Parcelling (P&P) as a sepa-  
rate reportable segment with its own strategic and operational focus, management concluded that P&P now constitutes a  
separate CGU. This reflects the way in which future cash inflows are expected to be generated and monitored going forward.  
Additionally, the former “Assets & Logistics” segment was renamed Asset Management, and split into two reportable seg-  
ments:  
Dry owner  
Tanker owner  
Accordingly, the previous Dry Cargo CGU was split into two separate CGU’s; Dry Cargo CGU and Projects & Parcelling (P&P)  
CGU. The Tankers CGU remained unchanged.  
As such, NORDEN now reports a total of six reportable segments. Each segment is monitored individually by the CODM for  
the purpose of performance evaluation and resource allocation. This structure improves transparency, aligns external report-  
ing with internal management practices, and provides clearer insight into how value is created across the Group’s business  
areas.  
Goodwill previously allocated to the Dry Cargo CGU was then fully reallocated to the newly established P&P CGU. P&P now  
carries goodwill and will be subject to annual impairment testing, or more frequently if indicators of impairment arise.  
The Q2 2025 change reflects a management reporting refinement, not a structural shift in how cash inflows are generated  
or how assets are utilised. Therefore, there is no change to NORDEN’s existing CGUs, and the Group’s impairment testing  
structure under IAS 36 remains valid and consistent.  
In Q2 2025, NORDEN made a further refinement to its segment structure by transferring the Handysize activity from the Dry  
operator segment to the Projects & Parcelling (P&P) segment. This adjustment was made to realise operational synergies  
by consolidating all Handysize activity within a single segment, thereby enabling more efficient management and clearer  
strategic oversight.  
Impairment testing  
In connection with the reallocation of goodwill resulting from the change in CGU structure, NORDEN has performed  
impairment testing both before and after the change, in accordance with the requirements of IAS 36. No impairment was  
recognised.  
In connection with this change, the former Dry operator and Projects & Parcelling segments have been renamed and are now  
reported as:  
Dry operator - large vessels  
Dry operator - small vessels
