In 2025, Aalborg Portland achieved strong financial
performance and continued to make significant
progress on CO2 reduction, demonstrating our
commitment to sustainability.
Aalborg Portland’s scope 1 CO2 emissions dropped
by over 55,000 tons (approximately 4%) compared
to 2024, supporting our goal for a 100% reduction
by 2030.
Alternative fuels at large scale
We have continued to phase out fossil fuels such
as coal, oil, and pet coke in 2025, replacing them
with alternative fuels and increasing our focus
on bio content. We continued to optimize the fuel
portfolio to increase the share of alternative fuels
which constitutes non-recyclable waste materials
from other industries and biogenic byproducts.
In 2025, we maintained the share of alternative
fuels at 49%, in line with 2024 and our strategic
ambitions.
Product portfolio to match climate plan
Our climate strategy involves the development
and marketing of innovative, more sustainable
cement products. Through process and produc-
tion optimizations, we have further reduced the
carbon footprint of our products, benefiting both
our customers and the environment. By combining
this with a strong dialogue with our customers
and close support of their technical organizations,
we have seen significantly higher demand for low
carbon products.
In 2025, the share of C02 reduced cements reached
39% compared to 29% in 2024.
Sustained focus on carbon capture
The ACCSION project continues to make progress
and stands as a cornerstone in Aalborg Portland’s
ambitious journey toward CO2 neutrality. With
strong EU backing and national recognition, the
project is paving the way for one of Europe’s first
fully integrated onshore CCS value chains. By
capturing up to 1.4 million tons of CO2 annually,
ACCSION positions Aalborg Portland to lead the
transition to truly net-zero cement production - a
transformative step for the entire industry and a
significant move toward a greener future.
Continued focus on safety
Although 2025 did not continue the positive trend
in our health and safety performance further, we
have strengthened the foundation for continued
improvement of our health and safety efforts.
We have restructured our work environment orga-
nizational setup to bring decision-making closer
to where actions need to be taken. Moreover, we
are implementing a Group-wide risk assessment

system that will enable easier cross-correlation
of health and safety issues, thereby support more
thorough remedy planning.
Talent combined with experience
We have continued our programs to support
inclusion, development, and engagement, including
graduate schemes, talent programs, leadership con-
ferences, engagement surveys, and social events.
Aalborg is in our name
Since our establishment in 1889, Aalborg Portland
has maintained a strong connection with the local
community. Even as the company now operates
with an international perspective, we remain firmly
anchored in our local roots.
Aalborg Portland has a longstanding tradition of
supporting local clubs, associations, and commu-
nity initiatives. In 2025, we participated in various
cultural and social events, including collaborations
with Musikkens Hus, Aalborg Zoo and Aalborg
Kongres & Kultur Center.
In 2025, we implemented the masterplan for the re-
habilitation of the Rørdal Chalk Pit, which envisioning
the development of a recreational lake park. Several
workshops have been completed with the partici-
pation of both neighbors, recreational clubs and the
municipality.
In conclusion
Aalborg Portland remains committed to addressing
challenges by upholding our ESG promises and
advancing sustainable, inclusive, and compliant
operations. By working together, we aim to create a
stronger and more resilient company prepared for
uncertain times. We sincerely appreciate the dedi-
cation shown by all our employees and partners.
Financial performance
In 2025, Aalborg Portland delivered satisfactory
earnings above the full-year guidance. The company
had guided for a revenue of approximately EUR
387m and EBIT in the range of EUR 95m-100m. Ac-
tual revenue amounted to EUR 361m and EBIT was
EUR 103m. The lower revenue was compensated by
optimization of the cost of energy, fuels, and raw
materials.
Subsequent events after the reporting date
No events have occurred after the balance sheet
date through to this date which may have an impact
on the assessment of this annual report.
Expectations to 2026
Overall, sales volumes are expected to increase
marginally in Denmark. Our export markets are
even further impacted by the global economic
situation, and sales on export markets are overall
expected to decline compared to 2025.
The macroeconomic scenario continues to be char-
acterized by heightened uncertainty with risks of
economic downturn linked to geopolitical tensions
and sustained restrictive financial conditions.
For the year 2026, the company expects to achieve
revenue of approximately EUR 360m and earnings
(EBIT) in the range of EUR 95m-100m.
These expectations are based on known and gen-
erally expected global economic growth conditions
and do not take into account any intensified geo-
political tensions, deterioration in the compeitive
market structure, or further increases in energy
and logistics costs.
As the expectations described above are based
on a number of preconditions and assumptions
beyond management’s control, the actual earnings
may deviate significantly from the expectations
expressed in this annual report.

The Group continues to uphold its gender equality policy in recruitment and
promotions ensuring that the key consideration when filling any position is
the selection of the most qualifed candidate.
The sector in which the Group operates is historically characterized by
a predominantly male workforce. In order to achieve a balanced gender
composition in management, the Group aims to increase the proportion
of female managers, and efforts to attract female candidates for senior
positions will continue in accordance with our gender equality policy and
support the achievement of our gender diversity targets in the Danish
subsidiaries.
At Aalborg Portland we see it as both our obligation and utmost respon-
sibility to promote diversity and inclusion, regardless of gender, ethnicity,
age, religion, sexuality or other differences.
We foster a workplace culture founded on respect for diversity, equal
opportunities, and zero discrimination, ensuring an inclusive environment
for all employees. We continuously seek to strengthen our organization
by evaluating and adjusting our current practices. Through training in
cultural awareness and diversity and inclusion, we deepen our understan-
ding of one another and value the diverse perspectives and working styles
each of us each brings. By valuing these diverse viewpoints, we strive to
integrate them more effectively, creating an environment where everyone
feels supported, valued, and welcome.
As the only cement manufacturer in Denmark, we face a particular
challenge in attracting experienced senior managers while maintaining
balanced and inclusive hiring practices. Increasing the number of female
representatives at all levels remains a priority.
We continuously enhance our recruitment practices to attract more
women across a wide range of roles while reviewing our hiring processes
to ensure they remain inclusive and supportive. Our goal is to select the
most qualified candidates for every position, free from any form of bias
or discrimination. In addition, we are reviewing our internal policies and
procedures to strengthen our talent pipeline and minimize unconscious
bias throughout our operations.

range from 18 to 74. We see this diversity as one of our biggest strengths
and key to our future growth and success.

Financial review
PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT
Revenue in 2025 amounted to EUR 361.5m (2024: EUR 355.7m).
Sales in Denmark decreased by 0.6%, while the European export markets
increased by 7.7% compared to 2024.
Operating profit before depreciation (EBITDA ratio) reached 37.3% (2024:
38.5%). This decline is mainly related to the overall decline in sales volumes
combined with an increase in cost of sales, primarily attributable to the new
Danish CO2 emission tax which can’t be transferred to all customers (mainly
some export markets) and thereby resulting in a decline in margins. Our
long-term strategic ambition stands to strengthen our financial position and
robustness to be able to finance the large investments necessary to meet
our commitment to achieve a 73% reduction of our CO2 footprint by 2030.
Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) amounted to EUR 102.5m (2024: EUR
103.5m).
Tax on profit for the year amounted to EUR 21.7m (2024: EUR 22.0m), net
profit for the year being EUR 81.3m (2024: EUR 79.5m).
CASH FLOWS
Cash flow from operating activities (CFFO) was EUR 104.3m for 2025 (2024:
EUR 116.0m).
Cash flow from investment activities (CFFI) amounted to EUR -25.2m (2024:
EUR -23.3m).
DEBT AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES
Aalborg Portland is part of the cash pool held by the parent company, Aal-
borg Portland Holding A/S. Aalborg Portland has access to funding through
the parent company financing facility in addition to having long-term mort-
gage loans of EUR 76.5m (2024: EUR 106.4m) with an average life of 6 years.
The company’s interest rate exposure is partly hedged through derivative
financial instruments.
The company's exposure to price risk in raw materials, fuels and electricity
is partly mitigated by fixed price contracts.
BALANCE SHEET
Non-current assets amounted to EUR 199.4m at 31 December 2025 (2024:
EUR 205.5m), of which EUR 161.0m (2024: EUR 160.4m) was related to pro-
perty, plant and equipment and EUR 17.0m (2024: EUR 22.9m) to right-of-use
assets.
Current assets amounted to EUR 331.9m (2024: EUR 409.3m) and were main-
ly related to inventories and receivables.
SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Shareholders’ equity amounted to EUR 244.8m at the end of 2025 against
EUR 237.2m the year before. The increase in shareholders’ equity was due to
the profit for the year less the dividend paid to Aalborg Portland Holding A/S.
Equity ratio was 46.1% at the end of 2025 (38.6% in 2024).
WORKING CAPITAL
Working capital, i.e. the capital tied up in debtors and inventories less credi-
tors, has increased during the year, mainly due to increase in inventories,
related to production strategy and a decline in sales volumes. Keeping down
working capital is still a focus area for the company as it saves interest
expenses and frees up resources for investment, etc. Furthermore, as stated,
low working capital contributes to improving the return on capital employed
(ROCE).
Working capital at the end of 2025 amounted to EUR -11.4m (EUR -22.5m in
2024).
SUBSIDIARIES
Poland
The Polish market delivered a 13.3% increase in revenue compared with
2024, finishing 4.8% above budget. Sales volumes grew 11.1% year on year.
Despite overall market pressure in 2025, it has been possible to retain and
recover previous customers through competitive pricing and strong recog-
nition of our product and service quality. In 2025, the EBITDA increased by
71.5% compared to 2024.
Iceland
Business performance in Iceland in 2025 was impacted by challenging
market conditions. Volumes were 9.3% below 2024 and EBITDA declined
by 12.4% compared to 2024. Market share for 2025 stands at 46.6%, down
from 52.0% in 2024, and significantly lower than the nearly 60% achieved in
2021–2022. The construction market remains under pressure, with increased
competition expected to continue into 2026.
France
Sales volumes increased by 5.3% compard to 2024. EBITDA increased by
45.2% compared to 2024. The increase in volumes, slightly higher prices, and
savings in fixed costs, result in the increased EBITDA. Market conditions
in France remain difficult, affected by reduced demand and new entrants
pursuing aggressive pricing strategies.
Belgium
Sales volumes for 2025 were largely consistent with 2024 levels. A conti-
nued focus on profitability over volume growth has been maintained. The
combination of an improved product and customer mix, along with savings
in SG&A, resulted in an EBITDA increase of 0.9% compared with 2024.

INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Aalborg Portland is integrated with the Cementir Group's Internal Control
and Risk Management System is defined as the set of tools, organisational
structures, procedures and company rules aimed at ensuring correct, trans-
parent and effective management, consistent with the Group's strategic
objectives. Through a structured process of identification, evaluation, mana-
gement and monitoring of the main risks, the system ensures:
• compliance with laws and regulations;
• safeguarding of corporate assets;
• operating activity effectiveness and efficiency;
• reporting accuracy and completeness.
The Internal Control and Risk Management System adopts a ‘top-down’ and
‘risk-based’ approach that starts from the definition of the Cementir Group's
Business Plan. It ensures that the main risks are identified, assessed
and monitored taking into account each business unit, to create a fully
integrated risk management process. Risks are assessed with quantitative
and qualitative tools considering both the probability of occurrence and the
impacts that would be generated in a given time horizon if the risk were
to occur. It also ensures that all necessary measures are taken to control
risks that could threaten the Group's assets, its ability to generate profits or
achieve its objectives.
Roles and responsibilities in risk management have been defined starting
from the Company's Board of Directors, which defines strategy, policy and
risk appetite, supported by the Audit Committee and the Sustainability
Committee. In addition, management teams from the group companies
are involved, with responsibility for risk management within their area of
expertise.
Below is a summary of the people and bodies involved and their responsibilities:
• The Board of Directors plays the central role, defining the Group's
risk appetite, the nature and level of risk. In addition, it carries out an
assessment of the risks related to climate change ensuring the constant
compatibility of management and strategic objectives.
• The Cementir Group’s Audit Committee and the Sustainability Committee
(corporate bodies relevant in the risk definition process) support the
Board of Directors, subject to a favourable opinion, in the definition and
management of risks;
• CEO & Chairman: implements the general guidelines of the Board of
Directors, ensuring the identification, management and monitoring of the
main risks;
• Risk owners, the first level of control, are primarily responsible for inter-
nal control and risk management activities;
• Finally, Risk Management and Internal Audit are the main responsible for
the internal control and risk management system (second and third level
of control). They are responsible for verifying that the Internal Control
and Risk Management System is functioning and adequate with respect
to the size and operations of the Group, verifying, in particular, that the
Management has identified the main risks, that they have been evaluated
in a consistent manner and that the appropriate mitigation actions have
been defined and implemented.

The Cementir Group's Internal Control and Risk Management System is
integrated into the Group's organizational, administrative, accounting and
governance structure and has been prepared on the basis of the principles
laid down by the Enterprise Risk Management - Integrated Framework, an
international standard developed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organi-
zations of the Treadway Commission (COSO Report), also ensuring greater
detail in the identification of the risks of the companies and Group and
integration with the results of the Audit activities. The methodology followed
involves an iterative process consisting of the following steps:
• Risk identification: the process starts with the definition of the Indu-
strial Plan and focuses on the main risks that could compromise the
achievement of the Group's objectives;
• Risk assessment: for each identified risk, management gives an inhe-
rent risk assessment (in the absence of controls/mitigation actions),
in terms of probability and impact during the horizon of the Industrial
Plan, using a 5-level assessment system (scoring):
- Impact: scale from 1 (Negligible) to 5 (Extreme);
- Probability: scale from 1 (Rare) to 5 (More than Likely).
• With regard to impact, three parameters are considered: economic
(quantitative), operational (qualitative), reputational (qualitative). Ma-
nagement at Region and Group level assesses the potential impacts
and likelihood of major risks that could have a material adverse effect
on the company's current or future operations. For sustainability and
climate-related risks, the time horizon was extended to a long-term
view for the analysis of various threats that could jeopardise the
implementation of the Group's climate transition plan;
• Identification and assessment of the adequacy of the existing con-
trols: for each identified risk, all the controls/actions currently in place
for risk mitigation are identified with the management;
• Residual Risk Assessment: taking into account the individual controls
for each risk and the relative adequacy, the residual risk is calculated by
applying a uniform calculation methodology to all Group companies;
• Identification of further actions: in the event that the residual risk is
higher than the predefined level of risk appetite, further actions are
agreed with management to mitigate the risk and contain it within
acceptable levels. The initiatives are taken promptly and within
budget limits, to effectively contribute to risk mitigation;
• Risk mitigation: Mitigation strategies are defined with specific action
plans for key risks;
• Reporting: reports are prepared at the company and Group level, show-
ing the main risks and initiatives taken by management to reduce the
risks to acceptable levels;
• Monitoring: the following are reviewed periodically: existing risk asses-
sments, assessment parameters, and new risks can be identified if
necessary.
The model, as described, subject to further and future updates, aims to
provide support for the decision-making and operational processes of the
company management, so as to reduce the possibility that specific events
could compromise the Group's ordinary operations or the achievement of its
strategic objectives.
To this end, the risk appetite level adopted in relation to strategic risks is
consistent with the vision of creating value, while always respecting the
environment and promoting integration with local communities. In relation to
operational risks, the risk appetite level is defined on the basis of the effecti-
veness and efficiency targets set by the management.
Provisions for compliance and financial reporting are different. The Group
does not accept an assumption of non-compliance risk for laws and regu-
lations (including those relating to safety), and of possible alterations to the
integrity of financial reporting.
The Cementir Group's Internal Control and Risk Management System is
integrated with the Group's Sustainability Strategy. In this perspective, from
2021 the Cementir Group launched a project aimed at implementing the
recommendations of the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-Related Financial
Disclosure) and from 2025, of the TNFD (Task Force on Nature-Related
Financial Disclosure), adopting a transparent approach to the reporting of
risks and opportunities related to climate change and nature. The identifica-
tion, assessment and effective management of climate and natural risks and
opportunities are fully integrated into the Group's Enterprise Risk Manage-
ment process. In 2022, to further strengthen its climate change disclosure,
the Group engaged Standard & Poor’s (S&P) to assess physical and transition
climate risks and to develop scenario analyses to support the implementa-
tion of the TCFD guidelines. The analysis showed a level of full compliance
with the eleven recommendations provided for by the TCFD, with an overall
score of 100%, confirming the completeness and transparency of the Group's
disclosure. During 2025, the Holding also collaborated with an external con-
sultant to integrate the principles of TNFD into its risk management system.
In relation to accounting and financial reporting, the existing Internal Control
System ensures its accuracy and completeness through constantly updated
administrative and accounting procedures.
Furthermore, as part of the compliance activities with the COSO structure,
during the year, the Internal Audit function carries out audit activities on the
aforementioned procedures to ascertain that the provided key controls are
being correctly applied by the involved company structures. The assessment
of the internal control system on financial reporting provided for by Cementir
Group procedures was carried out based on this activity.
On the basis of the activity carried out by the Internal Audit department and
the related results, the Audit Committee assessed the Internal Control and
Risk Management System as adequate, effective and appropriate for dealing
with business, operational, environmental, financial and compliance risks.
Since October 2023, the Group has launched the strategic initiative for the
digitalization of Risk Management, aimed at improving the resilience of the
organization by leveraging advanced technological solutions, simplifying
data-driven risk assessments and implementing real-time monitoring capa-
bilities, promoting a proactive and agile approach to risk mitigation across all
business functions. Starting from 2024, the Risk Management process of the in-
dividual subsidiaries is conducted solely and exclusively using the new platform.
In 2025, the Internal Control and Risk Management System was further
strengthened through the introduction of a second annual update cycle of the
ERM model.
If in previous years the analysis was carried out only once a year, from 2025
the process provides for two semi-annual checks, in order to ensure a more
timely alignment with the Business Plan and to intercept any changes in the
risk profile with greater timeliness.

RISK CATEGORIES
The Group is exposed to a number of risks, opportunities and uncertainties. The risk library forms the basis of the business risk and opportunity assessment process. In 2025, the library included 121 risks. The most relevant risks,
together with their classification in the strategic, operational, compliance, financial and sustainability categories, have been organised in such a way as to facilitate the identification of the main risk categories that may have a
significant impact on the Group.
The following table provides a non-exhaustive example of key business risks.

INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM FOR FRAUD
RISK MANAGEMENT
The potential risk of fraud is linked to intentional acts
perpetrated by deception by one or more members
of management, those responsible for governance
activities, employees or third parties, in order to obtain
unlawful advantages. Fraud, whether false financial
reporting or misappropriation of company assets, implies
the existence of incentives or pressure to commit it and
the perception of an opportunity to do so.
The intrinsic nature of the Group's business introduces
potential vulnerabilities to fraud and corruption, which
can be summarized as follows: (i) fraudulent activities
in financial transactions, such as misappropriation of
funds or fraudulent invoicing; (ii) the risks of collusion
or conflicts of interest extend to relationships with
suppliers, customers and employees, amplifying the
potential for fraudulent activities; (iii) non-compliance
with anti-corruption laws and regulations; (iv) the theft
or mismanagement of stock leading to financial loss.
The potential impact of fraud risks, if realised, can result
in financial loss, reputational damage, and regulatory
consequences.
FRAUD RISK ASSESSMENT
The Group has developed a system dedicated to fraud
risk management, conceived as an autonomous and
complementary process with respect to the ERM, to
ensure specific monitoring of the main types of fraud,
whether they are misappropriations, corrupt acts or
information manipulations. The Fraud Risk Management
Program reflects the organisation's commitment to
integrity and ethics, through a dedicated fraud policy and
an active whistleblowing channel, which allows employ-
ees and stakeholders to report suspicious events without
fear of retaliation.
Starting from 2025, the Internal Audit introduced a spe-
cific Fraud Risk Assessment, distinct from the evaluation
already carried out in the audit planning phases, in order
to analyse the most exposed areas in greater depth. This
activity includes the identification of fraud schemes, an
assessment of their likelihood and significance and the
analysis of enabling factors according to the triangle
fraud model. The review also considers reports received
through whistleblowing and cases recorded in the last
twelve months, ensuring an assessment based on up-to-
date evidence. In all operational and compliance audits,
including those pursuant to Law 262, the ability of inter-
nal controls to prevent fraudulent events is also verified
and, when necessary, corrective measures are agreed to
strengthen the most vulnerable processes.
The fraud risk assessment for the individual subsidiaries
of the Group is carried out through the involvement of
a multidisciplinary team composed, among others, of
the Finance, Procurement, Sales, Human Resources, IT,
Legal functions supported by the Group Internal Audit,
which analyses internal and external factors and verifies
the effectiveness of existing controls to determine the
residual risk. All information is collected in a fraud risk
matrix that guides the implementation of preventive and
detective measures and subsequent monitoring.
The system is further strengthened by dedicated tools
and bodies. Since 2023, the Group has been using a
whistleblowing system based on an external platform,
also accessible from the institutional website. The
Ethics Committee, appointed by the Board of Directors,
examines the results of the investigative activities
carried out by the Internal Audit on a quarterly basis,
verifies the implementation of disciplinary measures
and reports regularly to the Audit Committee and the
Board of Directors. An important role is also played by
the use of data mining tools such as Celonis, which
allows to intercept anomalies and irregular patterns in
transactions, and by the segregation of duties, adopted
as an operational practice, to further mitigate the risk
of fraud.
Thanks to the set of preventive, investigative and
corrective measures adopted, the system makes it
possible to significantly reduce vulnerability to fraud
and corruption, ensuring effective monitoring and
continuous improvement.

Derecognition of fully depreciated assets
As part of a structured review of the Company’s fixed asset register during the financial year, a total of EUR 43.5m in
gross carrying amount of property, plant and equipment was derecognised. These assets had been fully depreciated in
prior periods and were no longer in use.
The derecognised assets had a net carrying amount of DKK 0 at the time of removal, and therefore the derecognition
had no impact on the statement of profit or loss or the statement of financial position.
This exercise was undertaken to improve the accuracy of the Company’s asset records and to ensure compliance with
IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment.

Contingent liabilities
The Company is involved in a few disputes, lawsuits, etc. of various scopes, including a few tax disputes in some
countries. No significant liabilities are considered to be incumbent on the Company in that respect, and the
outcome of these disputes are not expected to have significant impact on the Company's financial position beyond

The Company is taxed jointly with other Danish companies in the Aalborg Portland Holding Group. The Company
is jointly and unlimited liable with the other companies in the joint taxation of Danish taxes at source and income
taxes within the joint taxation group. Payable income taxes in the joint taxation group amounted to EUR 2.7m at
31 December 2025 (2024: receivable EUR 0.6m). Any subsequent corrections of the taxable income subject to joint
taxation could cause a higher liability of the Company.

23. Financial risks and financial instruments
Risk management policy
As a result of its international operations, investments and financing, the
Company is exposed to a number of financial risks, including market risks,
liquidity and credit risks.
Market risks Liquidity risks Credit risks
Risks that the fair
value of our future
cash flows from a
financial instrument
will fluctuate due to
changes in market
prices.
Risks that the Com-
pany will encoun-
ter difficulties in
meeting obligations
associated with
financial liabilities.
Risks that a counter-
party of a financial
instrument is unable
to fulfil its obliga-
tions and thereby
inflict a loss to the
Company.
The Group’s Finance & Treasury is in charge of the overall risk management
in accordance with the principles adopted by the Board of Directors and the
Company follows the Group policy. The policy is not to engage in any active
speculation in financial risks. The Group’s financial management is thereby
solely directed towards the management and reduction of financial risks
arising directly from the commercial operations, investments and financing.
Market risks
Currency risks Interest rate risks Raw material price risks
Arise due to purchase
and sale transactions
as well as financial
assets and liabilities
in currencies other
than the functional
currency of the
individual Company
business.
Refer to the influence
of changes in market
interest rates on
future cash flow rela-
ting to the Company’s
interest-bearing
assets and liabilities
and the fair value of
these.
Refer to the influence
of changes in raw
material prices,
which are not related
to currency risks or
interest rate risks.
Currency risks
Hedging is assessed and taken out in close co-operation with the parent
company. For the hedging of currency risks, the Company analyses realised
and expected cash flows broken down by currencies. The Company does not
hedge the currency risk between EUR/DKK due to the Danish fixed-exchan-
gerate policy aimed at the EUR.
Risks relating to purchases and sales
Revenue from the Company’s activities and the purchases by this segment
are denominated in several currencies. Accordingly, these activities are also
exposed to changes in exchange rates.
The Company's currency risks are primarily hedged by the settlement of
income and costs in the same currency and by use of derivative financial
instruments. Investments in Group enterprises are not hedged.
The Company's most predominant currency exposure regarding the opera-
ting results arises from sales and purchases in EUR, USD, GBP, NOK, SEK
and PLN. A 10% drop in these currencies (apart from EUR) would, viewed
separately, decrease the result by:
Euro ’000
10% change 2025 2024
EUR equivalent USD -919 -1,495
EUR equivalent GBP 1,831 1,752
EUR equivalent NOK 2,186 2,430
EUR equivalent PLN 2,478 1,928
Total EUR 5,576 4,615
Risks relating to net financing
The Company’s most important net positions at 31 December 2025 relate to
USD, SEK and NOK. If these currencies had been 10% down at 31 December
2025, the Company’s equity would have been affected negative by an ex-
change rate adjustment of EUR -0.2m (2024: negative impact of EUR -0.1m).
Rising exchange rates would have had a similar negative impact on equity
Translation risks relating to net investments in subsidiaries
Hedging of currency risk is not performed for net assets (equity) in foreign
subsidiaries. Gains and losses relating to net assets in foreign subsidiaries are
accounted directly in equity.
With regard to investments in foreign enterprises, equity at 31 December 2025
would have been reduced by EUR 2.0m (2024: EUR 1.7m), if the PLN, ISK, EUR
exchange rates had been 10% down on the actual exchange rates.
Assumptions of sensitivity analysis
The sensitivities are stated on the assumption of unchanged sales and price
levels and interest levels, and on the assumption of recognised assets and
liabilities at 31 December 2025.
Forward contracts regarding future transactions
The Company does not comply with the conditions for taking out hedge ac-
counting of future cash flows from the sale of goods. In terms of the hedging
of future investments, the Company assesses in each case whether these
comply with the conditions for hedge accounting.
There are no forward contracts at 31 December 2025 or 31 December 2024.
Interest rate risk
The Company has exposure to interest rate changes in Denmark. The primary
interest-rate exposure is related to fluctuations in CIBOR.
The Company's preferred financing is floating rate loans. The Company's net
interest-bearing debt (NIBD) at 31 December 2025 is EUR 122.9m (deposit),
100% thereof financed by floating rate loans. NIBD at 31 December 2024 repre-
sented EUR 112.4.m (deposit).
With regard to the Company's floating rate loans and cash equivalents, an
annual 1% increase in the interest level in proportion to the actual interest
rates would, other things being equal, have had an adverse hypothetical
negative impact on the profit before tax of EUR 0.8m (2024: EUR 1.1m) and on
equity of EUR 0.6m (2024: EUR 0.8m). A declining interest level would have had
a corresponding positive impact on result and equity.
Aalborg Portland Annual Report 202538
Management's Review Financial Statements Signatures Company Information
Raw material price risks
The Company uses a number of raw materials in the manufacture of products,
which expose the Company to a price risk, i.a. especially different fuels and
electricity. The Company enters into annual fixed price contracts for some raw
materials. A material part of the price risk on the Company's fuel oil is hedged
through swap agreements.
Liquidity risks
Aalborg Portland A/S is included in the Cementir Group's overall management
of financial risks.
Aalborg Portland A/S has access to funding through the Cementir Holding facility.
The Company is part of the Group's cash pool scheme. The purpose of the cash
pool scheme is to optimise cash management and the use of liquidity in the
participating companies.
Neither in 2025 nor in 2024 the Company has defaulted or breached any loan
agreements (covenants).
Regarding maturities of the Company’s debt, reference is made to note 16.
Based on the expectations for the future operation and the present cash
funds, no other significant liquidity risks have been identified.
Credit risks
The credit risks arise primarily from receivables related to customers, other
receivables and cash.
As a consequence of the credit risk policy, credit rating of all major customers
and other trading partners is performed before contract formation and
hereafter continuously. An efficient credit control is important in the present
market. Management of the credit risk is based on internal credit limits, which
are based on the customer's and the counterparties' creditworthiness, based
on both internal and external credit ratings as well as the experience with the
counterparty. If no satisfactory guarantee is obtained when credit rating the
customer/counterparty, payment in advance or separate guarantee for the
sale, e.g. a bank guarantee, will be required.
The Company takes out credit insurances on a large part of export customers.
Due to the market situation, the Company has in recent years increased
the resources used on follow-up on customers, which contributes to early
warnings of possible risks. As part of the overall risk management, the credit
exposure of customers and counterparties is monitored daily, weekly or
monthly based on individual assessments. Historically the Company has had
relatively small losses due to customers’ or counterparties’ inability to pay.
The credit risk limit of financial assets corresponds to the values recognised
on the balance sheet.
No individual customer or co-operator poses any material risk to the Com-
pany.
Receivables from the Company’s activities are attributable to Danish
customers and export customers characterised as medium-sized and major
customers. The Company is familiar with the Danish customers, who have not
been granted long credit lines. Experience shows that export customers pose
a low credit risk.
Receivables overdue at 31 December are specified as follows:
Euro ’000
2025 2024
Payment:
Up to 30 days 0.3 1.7
Between 30 and 90 days 0.1 0.1
More than 90 days 0.0 0.0
0.4 1.8
The historical loss percentage in the income statement is 0.0%. The Com-
pany's trade receivables on 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024 include
no write-downs.
Management of capital structure
Capital management is assessed and adjusted in close co-operation with the
parent company. Aalborg Portland A/S is included in the Cementir Group's
overall capital management.
It is the Group's policy that the capital structure and financial gearing shall at
all times reflect the Group's activities and risk profile, afford sufficient finan-
cial latitude to ensure the Group's creditworthiness, and provide flexibility and
room for investments or acquisitions based on the Group strategy.
The distribution of dividends takes place considering the appropriate level
of equity and sufficient availability of loan capital to facilitate the Group's
ongoing expansion.
The financial gearing between net interest-bearing debt and EBITDA is -0.9 at
31 December 2025.
Fair value measurement
Financial instruments measured at fair value are measured on a recurring
basis and categorised into the following levels of the fair value hierarchy:
• Level 1: Observable market prices for identical instruments
• Level 2: Valuation techniques primarily based on observable prices or
traded prices for comparable instruments
• Level 3: Valuation techniques primarily based on unobservable prices
Securities and investments measured at fair value through profit/loss are
either measured at quoted prices in an active market for the same type of
instrument (level 1) or at fair value based on available data (level 3).
Hedging instruments are not traded on an active market based on quoted
prices. Measured instead of using a valuation technique, where all signifi-
cant inputs are based on observable market data; such as exchange rates,
interest rates, credit risk and volatilities (level 2). There have been no trans-
fers between the levels in 2025 or 2024.

Methods and assumptions on determination of fair values
In general, fair value corresponds to the carrying value, except for mortgage loans.
Financial instruments related to sale and procurement of goods etc. with a short credit period are measured at fair
value corresponding to the carrying value.
Derivative financial instruments are computed on generally accepted valuation methods based on relevant exchange
rates.

24. Post-balance sheet events
There have been no post-balance sheet events material to this Annual
Report which have not been recognised or mentioned.
25. Estimation on uncertainties and judgements
Estimation on uncertainties
The accounting polices require that when calculating the carrying value
of certain assets and liabilities estimates are made of how future events
influence the value of recognised assets and liabilities at the balance sheet
date. Estimates that have a material influence on the amounts recognised in
the annual report.
The estimates applied are based on assumptions deemed reasonable by
the Management, but, given the nature of things, are uncertain. Thus, the
Company is exposed to risks and uncertainties that may result in variances
between actual and estimated results.
The Management deems that the accounting policies do not include critical
aspects.
Accounting judgements
Accounting judgements are made when applying accounting policies. Ac-
counting judgements are the judgements made, that can have a significant
impact on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
The areas that are categorised as accounting judgements are unchanged
compared to last year.
The following items of the Aalborg Portland A/S are subject to major ac-
counting estimates and judgements:
Non-current assets
Non-current assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation
and impairment. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the
expected useful lives of the assets considering the residual value of the
assets. The anticipated useful life and residual value are determined based
on experience and the anticipated future use of the asset in question. The
anticipated future use and scrap values may prove impossible to realise,
prompting a need for write-down or a loss on the disposal of the assets. The
depreciation periods are stated in the section "Accounting policies" in note
26, and non-current assets are stated in notes 11 and 12.
Provisions and contingent liabilities
Assessment of provisions and contingent liabilities are largely based on
estimates and judgements. Description of provisions and contingent assets
and contingent liabilities is given in note 15 and 19.
26. Accounting policies
The Annual Report 2025 of Aalborg Portland A/S is prepared in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and
additional Danish disclosure requirements according to large class C.
Aalborg Portland A/S official statutory annual report is presented in EUR.
The accounting policies set out below have been used consistently in
respect of the financial year. For standards implemented prospectively,
comparative information is not restated.
On 11 March 2026, the Board of Directors and the Management approved
the annual report for 2025 for the Aalborg Portland A/S. The annual report is
submitted to the shareholders of Aalborg Portland A/S for approval at the
Annual General Meeting on 23 April 2026.
Foreign currency translation
For each of the reporting enterprises in the Group, a functional currency is
determined. Transactions denominated in other currencies than the functio-
nal currency are considered transactions denominated in foreign currencies.
Transactions in foreign currencies are on initial recognition translated at the
functional currency at the exchange rate of the date of transaction.
Financial assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the
exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Any foreign exchange variances
between the rates at the transaction date and the payment date or the
balance sheet date, respectively, are stated in the income statement as
financial items.
Non-financial assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are stated at the
rate of exchange at the date of transaction.
On recognition in the financial statements of foreign enterprises and
associates as well as foreign joint ventures with a functional currency dif-
ferent from the Group’s presentation currency, the income statements are
translated at the average exchange rates and the balance sheet items are
translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. The calculation
differences arising from the translation of the income statements of com-
panies abroad at average exchange rates and of their balance sheet items
at the rate of exchange on the balance sheet date are taken directly to other
comprehensive income.
On full or partial disposal of wholly-owned foreign operations resulting in a
loss of control or on repayment of balances which constitute part of the net
investment in the foreign operation, the share of the cumulative amount of
the exchange differences that is recognised in other comprehensive income
relating hereto is reclassified from other comprehensive income to profit for
the year together with gain or loss on disposal.
On the disposal of partially owned foreign subsidiaries resulting in a loss of
control, the share of the translation reserve in other comprehensive income
attributable to non-controlling interests is not transferred to profit or loss.
An average exchange rate is used if it does not significantly deviate from the
exchange rate ruling at the transaction date.
The assets and liabilities of a foreign company acquired are translated at the
exchange rate at the date of transaction (acquisition date).
Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting
Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised in the balance
sheet at fair value on the trade date and are subsequently measured at fair
Aalborg Portland Annual Report 202541 Management's Review Financial Statements Signatures Company Information
value at each reporting date. Positive fair values are presented under other
receivables and negative fair values under other liabilities.
Derivatives Designated in Cash Flow Hedges:
For derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges under IFRS 9,
the effective portion of changes in fair value is recognised in Other Com-
prehensive Income (OCI) and accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve
within equity. The ineffective portion, if any, is recognised immediately in
profit or loss under financial items.
When the hedged forecast transaction results in the recognition of a non-fi-
nancial asset or liability, the amounts accumulated in equity are transferred
to the carrying amount of the asset or liability (basis adjustment). For other
hedged forecast transactions, amounts accumulated in equity are reclassi-
fied to profit or loss in the period(s) in which the hedged item affects profit
or loss.
Hedge accounting is applied only when the Company documents the
hedging relationship at inception, including the risk management objective,
the hedged item, the hedging instrument and the nature of the hedged risk,
and when an economic relationship between the hedged item and hedging
instrument can be demonstrated. Effectiveness is assessed on an ongoing
basis to ensure compliance with IFRS 9 requirements.
Derivatives Not Used for Hedge Accounting:
Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments that are not
designated as hedging instruments, or that no longer qualify for hedge
accounting, are recognised in profit or loss as financial items.
Embedded Derivatives:
Some contracts contain embedded derivatives. Embedded derivatives are
separated from the host contract and recognised and measured at fair value
when their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to
those of the host contract, and the combined instrument is not measured
at fair value through profit or loss. If the entire contract is measured at fair
value, no separation is performed.
Income statement
Revenue
Revenue is recognised in the income statement on delivery and passing of
the risk to the buyer and when the income can be measured reliably and is
expected to be received.
Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration agreed excl. VAT
charged on account of third party. All kinds of discounts are recognised in
Revenue.
Trade receivables recognised as services delivered are invoiced to the cust-
omer and are not adjusted for any financing components as credit terms
are short – typically between 20 to 45 days – and the financing component
therefore insignificant.
No special obligations in relation to warranties or return obligations compa-
red to the industry.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales comprises costs incurred to generate revenue for the year and
development costs which do not meet the criteria for capitalisation. This
includes raw materials, consumables, CO2 quotas, direct labour costs and
indirect production costs such as maintenance and operation of production
plant as well as production plant depreciation, administration and plant
management.
Sales and distribution costs
Sales and distribution costs include expenses directly attributable to selling
activities and the distribution of goods to customers. These comprise direct
distribution and marketing costs, salaries for the sales and marketing func-
tions as well as other indirect costs, including depreciation and amortisation
of assets used in sales and distribution activities. Costs are recognized in
profit or loss when incurred.
Administrative expenses
Administrative expenses represent costs related to the overall management
and administration. These include salaries and benefits for administrative
and executive staff, office rent and utilities, professional fees (such as
audit, legal, and consulting services), IT and communication expenses, and
depreciation and amortization of assets used for administrative purposes.
Administrative expenses are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Other operating income and costs
Other operating income and costs comprise items of a secondary nature in re-
lation to the activities of the Group, including certain grants, rentals, fees, etc.
Gains and losses from the disposal of property, plant and equipment which
cannot be considered part of the disposal of a complete activity are included
in other operating income and costs.
Profit/loss from investments in subsidiaries
The proportionate share of the profit/loss after tax of subsidiaries is recog-
nized in the income statement and the financial statements of the Parent
Company and after elimination of the proportionate share of intra-group
unrealized profits/losses, and deduction of impairment and depreciation of
impairment and depreciation of group goodwill.
Financial items
Interest income and expenses comprise interest, exchange rate gains and
losses regarding transactions denominated in foreign currencies and wri-
te-down on securities, amortisation of financial assets and liabilities as well
as surcharges and refunds under the on-account tax scheme, etc. Realised
and unrealised gains and losses on derivative financial instru-ments that are
not qualified as hedge accounting are also included.
Tax
Tax for the year comprises current tax and changes in deferred tax.
Current tax comprises tax payable calculated on the basis of the expected
taxable income for the year, using the applicable tax rates for the financial
year and any adjustment of tax for previous years.
Aalborg Portland Annual Report 202542
Management's Review Financial Statements Signatures Company Information
Tax related to other comprehensive income is recognised in other compre-
hensive income.
Deferred tax is recognised and measured according to the balance sheet
liability method on all temporary differences between the carrying amounts
for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes,
except differences relating to goodwill not deductible for tax purposes.
Measurement of deferred tax is based on the tax rules and tax rates appli-
cable in the respective countries at the balance sheet date, which is expe-
cted to be valid, when the deferred tax will be reversed as current tax. The
effect of changes in the tax rates is stated in the income statement unless it
relates to items previously entered directly in Shareholders’ equity.
Deferred tax assets, including the value of tax loss carry-forwards, are
recognised under Financial assets at the expected value of their utilisation;
either as a set-off against tax on future income or as a set-off against defer-
red tax liabilities in the same legal tax entity and jurisdiction.
Uncertain tax positions are measured at the amount estimated to be requi-
red to settle such potential future obligations. We measure these uncertain
tax positions on a yearly basis through dialog with key stakeholders. The me-
asurement addresses the accounting for income taxes when tax treatments
involve uncertainty that affects the application of IAS 12 and IFRIC 23. We
will determine whether to consider each uncertain tax treatment separately
or together with one or more other uncertain tax treatments. The approach
that better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty will be followed. Un-
certain tax positions are measured at the most likely outcome method.
Aalborg Portland A/S is covered by the Danish rules on compulsory joint
taxation of the Group's Danish companies. Enterprises are included in the
joint taxation from the date of consolidation into the consolidated financial
statements and up to the date when they exit the consolidation.
Aalborg Portland A/S is jointly taxed with the parent company, Aalborg Port-
land Holding A/S, and all Danish enterprises. The current Danish income tax
is allocated by payment of joint taxation contributions between the jointly
taxed companies in proportion to their taxable income. Companies with tax
losses receive joint tax contributions from companies who have used this
loss to reduce their own taxable income.
Balance sheet
Intangible assets
Goodwill
On initial recognition, goodwill is recognised in the balance sheet at cost as
described under “Business combinations”. Subsequently goodwill is mea-
sured at cost less accumulated impairment. Goodwill is not amortised.
The carrying amount of goodwill is allocated to the Group’s cash-generating
units at the acquisition date. Determination of cash-generating units follows
the management structure and internal financial control.
Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets, including intangible assets acquired in business
combinations, are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and
impairment losses.
Amortisation is made on a straight-line basis over the lower of the useful
life and the contract period.
The expected useful lives are:
• Software applications, up to 10 years.
• Customer list up to 25 years.
• Patents, licences and other intangible assets, up to 20 years.
• Leasehold improvements, up to 5 years.
CO2 quotas
On initial recognition, granted and acquired CO2 quotas are measured at
cost.
The basis for amortisation of CO2 quotas is stated as cost less scrap
value. The scrap value depends on whether the company expects to utilise
the quotas or sell them. Amortisation is based on a portfolio view on a
straight-line basis.
If the actual emission exceeds the granted and acquired CO2 quotas, a lia-
bility corresponding to the fair value of the CO2 quotas, which the company
has to settle, is recognised.
On disposal of CO2 quotas, the difference between carrying amount and the
selling price of excess CO2 quotas is recognised in the income statement at
the date of disposal.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment.
The cost of self-constructed assets comprises direct and indirect costs of
materials, components, sub-suppliers, and wages and salaries as well as
borrowing costs from specific or general lending directly relating to the
construction of the individual asset.
Deemed costs for dismantling and disposal of the asset and re-establish-
ment are added to cost if the deemed costs are recognised as a provision.
The cost of total assets is split into separate components, which are depre-
ciated separately if the useful lives of the individual components differ.
Subsequent costs, e.g. in connection with replacement of components
of property, plant and equipment, are recognised in the carrying amount
of the asset if it is probable that the costs will result in future economic
benefits for the Group. The carrying amount of the replaced components
are derecognised in the balance sheet and recognised as an expense in the
income statement. All costs incurred for ordinary repairs and maintenance
are recognised in the income statement as incurred.
Depreciation is charged on a straight-line basis during the estimated useful
life of the asset concerned until it reaches the estimated scrap value.
Estimated useful lives are as follows:
• Buildings and improvements of land, 5-50 years
Aalborg Portland Annual Report 202543 Management's Review Financial Statements Signatures Company Information
• Main machinery, 25 years
• Other plant and machinery, 3-20 years
Newly acquired assets and assets of own construction are depreciated from
the time they come into use. Land is not depreciated, unless it is used for
raw material extraction after individual assessment.
The basis of depreciation is calculated on the basis of the scrap value less
impairment losses. The scrap value is determined at the acquisition date
and reassessed annually. If the scrap value exceeds the carrying amount,
depreciation is discontinued.
When changing the depreciation period or the scrap value, the effect on
the depreciation is recognised prospectively as a change in accounting
estimates.
Depreciation is recognised in the income statement as production costs,
sales and distribution costs and administrative expenses to the extent that
depreciation is not included in the cost of self-constructed assets.
Lease assets and lease liabilities
Aalborg Portland mainly leases land, vehicles and ships. When entering
into a contract, it is assessed whether the contract is a lease or contains a
lease component. A lease is defined as a contract or part of a contract that
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time
in exchange for consideration. When assessing whether a contract contains
a lease component, it must be considered whether, during the period of use,
the lessee has the right to essentially all economic benefits from the use of
the identified asset and the right to direct the use of the identified asset.
A right-of-use asset and a lease liability is recognised at the commence-
ment date.
Aalborg Portland leases cars including a service component in the pay-
ments to the lessor. This service is separated from the lease payment when
measuring the lease liability. If it is not possible to separate lease compo-
nents and non-lease components, it is considered a single lease component.
Lease liabilities recognised as "Credit institutions and interest-bearing
liabilities" are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments
that are not paid at commencement date. The lease payments are discoun-
ted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily
determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, we have used the
incremental borrowing rate.
The lease payments consist of fixed and variable lease payments that de-
pend on an index or a rate, guaranteed residual values, purchase options and
extension options, if the Company finds it reasonably certain to exercise the
option and termination penalties, if the lease term reflects our exercising an
option to terminate the lease. The lease liability is subsequently adjusted as
follows, if:
• The value of the index or rate on which the lease payments are based
is changed.
• The exercise of options is changed in order to extend or terminate the
lease due to significant events or a significant change in circumstan-
ces within the Company's control.
• The lease term is changed if the option is exercised in order to extend
or terminate the lease.
• Estimated residual value guarantee is changed.
• The contract is renegotiated or modified.
Any subsequent adjustment of the future lease liability is recognised as an
adjustment to the right-of-use asset. If the carrying amount of the right-
of-use asset is EUR 0, a negative adjustment to the right-of-use asset is,
however, recognised in the income statement.
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost comprising the amount
of initial measurement of the lease liability plus any initial direct costs and
any estimated costs of dismantling and removal of the asset at the end of
the lease term which the Company is under an obligation to incur and any
prepaid lease payments and less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and
the useful life of the right-of-use asset.
Short-term leases with a maximum lease term of 12 months and leases for
low-value assets are not recognised in the balance sheet.
Other non-current assets
Other non-current assets mainly relate to deposits and loans which are me-
asured at amortised cost. Amortisation for the year is stated in the income
statement.
Impairment of non-current assets
Goodwill is subject to annual impairment tests, initially before the end of the
acquisition year.
The carrying amount of goodwill is tested together with the other non-cur-
rent assets of the cash-generating unit (CGU) or group of CGUs to which
goodwill is allocated. The assets of the CGUs are written down to the
recoverable amount in profit or loss if the carrying amount is higher. The
recoverable amount of a CGU is generally determined as the present value
of the expected future net cash flows from the entity or activity (CGU) to
which goodwill is allocated. However, impairment losses on goodwill are
recognised as other operating costs in the income statement.
The carrying amount of other non-current assets, except for goodwill,
investment properties and financial assets measured at fair value, is tested
annually for indications of impairment. When there is an indication that
assets may be impaired, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined.
The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less expected
costs to sell and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of the
future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset or the CGU to which
the asset belongs.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or a
CGU, respectively, exceeds the recoverable amount of the asset or the CGU.
Amortisation and depreciation of intangible assets and property, plant and
equipment are recognised in the same item as the related amortisation and
depreciation. However, impairment losses on goodwill are recognised in a
separate line item in the income statement.
Aalborg Portland Annual Report 202544
Management's Review Financial Statements Signatures Company Information
Inventories
Raw materials and consumables are measured at cost. Cost is computed
according to the weighted average cost method.
The cost of goods for resale and raw materials and consumables comprises
purchase price plus delivery costs.
The cost of work in progress and finished goods comprise direct production
costs with addition of indirect production costs. Indirect production costs
include operating costs, maintenance and depreciation of production plant
and plant management.
If the net realisable value is lower than cost, write-down is made to this
lower value.
Receivables
Receivables are measured at amortised cost.
Write-down is made for bad debt losses when there is an objective indicati-
on of an impairment loss. In such cases, write-down is made individually for
each specific receivable.
Write-down is stated as the difference between the carrying amount and the
present value of the expected cash flow, including the net realisable value
of any received collaterals. The effective interest rate used at the time of
initial recognition is used as the discount rate for the individual receivable
or portfolio.
Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are measured according to the equity method.
Investments in subsidiaries are recognized in the balance sheet as the
proportionate share of the equity value of the entities stated in accordance
with the Group's accounting policies, adding or deducting the proportionate
share of unrealized intra-group profits or losses. The total net revaluation of
investments in subsidiaries is transferred upon distribution of profit to "Re-
serve for net revaluation under the equit method" under equity. The reserve
is reduced by dividend distributed to the Parent Company and adjusted for
other equity movements in subsidiaries.
Subsidiaries with a negative net asset value are recognized at DKK 0. Any
legal or constructive obligation of the Parent Company to cover the negative
balance of the enterprise is reconized in provisions.
Equity
Dividends are recognised as debt at the time of approval at the annual
general meeting (time of declaration). Dividends which are proposed for
distribution are therefore stated separately in the shareholders’ equity.
Reserves relating to foreign exchange adjustments in the financial state-
ments comprise currency translation differences arising from the trans-
lation of the financial statements of foreign entities from their functional
currencies to the presentation currency of the Company (EUR) and foreign
exchange adjustments of assets and liabilities considered to be part of the
Group's net investment in foreign operations.
On full or partial realisation of net investments, exchange differences are
recognised in the income statement.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when, as a result of past events, the Group has
a legal or a constructive obligation and it is probable that there may be an
outflow of resources embodying economic benefits to settle the obligation.
When the Group has a legal obligation to dismantle or remove an asset
or restore the site on which the asset is located, a provision is recognised
corresponding to the present value of expected future costs. The present
value of costs is recognised in the income statement for the tangible assets
concerned and is amortised together with these assets over the useful lives
or according to the production method.
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the expenses required to
settle the obligation at the balance sheet date.
Financial liabilities
Amounts owed to credit institutions are recognised when raising the loan
at fair value less transaction costs. Subsequent measurement is made at
amortised cost so that the difference between the proceeds and the nomi-
nal value is recognised in the income statement during the term of the loan.
The capitalised remaining lease liability of finance leases is also recognised
in financial liabilities, measured at amortised cost.
Other financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost.
Cash flow statement
The cash flow statement is presented according to the indirect method and
shows the composition of the cash flow di-vided into operating, investing
and financing activities, respectively, and the cash funds at the beginning
and end of the year.
In the statement of working capital/loans a distinction is made between
interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing items plus cash funds.
Cash funds consist of cash in hand and bank deposits.
Loans represent total interest-bearing debt items less interest-bearing
receivables.
All other non-interest-bearing receivables and debt items are regarded as
working capital.
Cash flows from operating activities are stated as Profit for the year (EAT)
adjusted for non-cash operating items, changes in working capital, financial
items and paid tax.
Cash flows from investing activities comprise payments made in connec-
tion with the acquisition and disposal of enterprises and activities and the
acquisition and disposal of non-current assets.
Aalborg Portland Annual Report 202545 Management's Review Financial Statements Signatures Company Information
Cash flows from financing activities comprise payments to and contributi-
ons from owners as well as the raising and repayment of loans.
Omission of consolidated financial statements
Pursuant to section 112(1) of the Danish Financial Statements Act, no conso-
lidated financial statements have been prepared. The financial statements
of Aalborg Portland A/S and group entities are included in the consolidated
financial statements of Aalborg Portland Holding A/S, Rørdalsvej 44, 9220
Aalborg Øst, Denmark, CVR no. 14 24 44 41.
Segment reporting
Aalborg Portland A/S is not a listed company and therefore no segment
reporting is made according to IFRS 8.
Forthcoming requirements
Generally, we expect to implement all new or amended accounting stan-
dards and interpretations when they become mandatory and have been
endorsed by the EU. IASB has issued new or amended accounting standards,
which become effective after 31 December 2025.
The following amendments are relevant for the Group. We are currently
assessing the impact and foresee some changes to the presentation in the
income and cash flow statements and to the disclosures in the notes to the
financial statements but none of these are expected to have a significant
impact on the financial statements:
• IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (effecti-
ve 1. January 2027)
The standard replaces IAS 1 and includes new structure and
required subtotals in the income statement, disclosures on
management-defined performance measures (MPMs) and
enhanced guidance on grouping of information (aggregation
and disaggregation) (issued April 2024).

Aalborg, 11 March 2026
Aalborg Portland Annual Report 202548 Management's Review Financial Statements Signatures Company Information
Independent auditor’s report
To the Shareholder of Aalborg Portland A/S
Opinion
In our opinion, the Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the
financial position of the Company at 31 December 2025, and of the results of
the Company’s operations and cash flows for the financial year 1 January - 31
December 2025 in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted
by the EU and further requirements in the Danish Financial Statements Act.
We have audited the Financial Statements of Aalborg Portland A/S for the
financial year 1 January - 31 December 2025, which comprise income state-
ment and statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet, statement
of cash flows, statement of changes in equity and notes, including material
accounting policy information (“financial statements”).
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on
Auditing (ISAs) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark. Our
responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further described
in the “Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements”
section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance
with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International
Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional
ethical requirements applicable in Denmark, and we have fulfilled our other
ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA
Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Statement on Management’s Review
Management is responsible for Management’s Review.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover Management’s Review,
and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is
to read Management’s Review and, in doing so, consider whether Manage-
ment’s Review is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our
knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated.
Moreover, it is our responsibility to consider whether Management’s Review
provides the information required under the Danish Financial Statements Act.
Based on the work we have performed, in our view, Management’s Review is
in accordance with the Financial Statements and has been prepared in accor-
dance with the requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act. We did
not identify any material misstatement in Management’s Review.
Management’s Responsibilities for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of Financial Statements
that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards
as adopted by the EU and further requirements in the Danish Financial
Statements Act, and for such internal control as Management determines
is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, Management is responsible for
assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing,
as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern
basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements unless Manage-
ment either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has
no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not
a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the
additional requirements applicable in Denmark will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error
Aalborg Portland Annual Report 202549 Management's Review Financial Statements Signatures Company Information
and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken
on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional
requirements applicable in Denmark, we exercise professional judgement
and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit
procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not
detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for
one resulting from error as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentio-
nal omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order
to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by
Management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of Management’s use of the going
concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty
exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that
a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our
auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or,
if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions
are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to
cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contents of the financial
statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial state-
ments represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
gives a true and fair view.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among
other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant
audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that
we identify during our audit.
