The turnover reached DKK 169.3 million and EBITDA DKK 13.5 million. Compared to 2023, revenue fell by DKK 17.7 million (-9%), which can be broadly explained by the fact that 2023 was a good year with high sales in the US, when large amounts of grease were used for replacement in large wind farms ("purging") and due to a one-off project with a large customer.
Our activities with the lubrication of cranes in port terminals including the introduction of our IT solution "Hove Smart Lube" have been intensive for a few years with many successful field tests, but the commercialization of the product is progressing at a slower pace than expected. Though, we entered one small port terminal in 2025, and management remains optimistic.
Despite the drop in turnover, the gross margin only fell from DKK 62.6 million to DKK 61.5 million. This is because the gross margin increased from 33.5% in 2023 to 36.3% in 2024. Primarily due to better pump sales and a lower share of private label.
The announced savings of DKK 3 million in staff costs as outlined in the half-year report for 2024 have been fully implemented with the departures of the GMs in the US and Brazil. These cost reductions will take full effect from 2025. Instead, investments have been directed towards new hires in sales, which is why personnel costs before capitalization in 2024 are DKK 0.4 million higher than in 2023.
External costs increased by DKK 4.8 million primarily due to higher admin costs and investments in sales and marketing.
EBITDA fell by DKK 7 million, but despite the drop in EBITDA, the 2024 profit after tax increased to DKK 5.7 million. An increase of 58% compared to 2023 (DKK 3.6 million). The improvement is due, among other things, to an extraordinary write-down in Hafnia Pumps in 2023, and that the net financial costs (interest and F/X impact) were significantly lower in 2024.
The second half of 2024 compared to the first half saw a slightly lower revenue and EBITDA. Thus, H2 revenue amounted to DKK 83.6 million compared to DKK 85.7 million in H1 and EBITDA was DKK 5.8 million in H2 compared to DKK 7.7 million in H1.
The US subsidiary performed satisfactorily despite the decline from 2023 mentioned above. HOVE India continued its positive development, and both the US and India contribute with positive cash flows.
Despite investments HOVE Turkey has not quite lived up to expectations. However, a break-even is expected in 2026.
HOVE Brazil has disappointed again, which led to the dismissal of the GM in 2024. The outlook remains uncertain even though Brazil has a large wind turbine market and several of HOVE's customers are present. Brazil is a complex market, and the management follows the development closely.
Hafnia Pumps also disappointed in 2024, as the company did not manage to complete the development of the new pump for test runs. But the exciting new Water Gear Pump - a silent pump for sailboats and mobile homes - is expected to be field tested during 2025. A sales resource has been hired to launch the product.
The overall conclusion is that HOVE has a strong core business.
The wind market remains crucial to HOVE, and therefore innovation and product development of lubrication pumps and cartridges remains a top of mind for HOVE. HOVE has completed and continued the development of both new pump variants and grease cartridges in 2024.
A new pump for a special type of grease was fully developed and launched with several customers in 2024. In addition, HOVE has further developed its grease cartridges, and these will also be launched in 2025.
HOVE has several development projects in progress including new pump variants for both the wind turbine and crane segments as well as pumps for central lubrication systems.
Despite a positive EBITDA of DKK 13.5 million, HOVE's cash flow
was negative by DKK 9.3 million in 2024. The main reasons are:
HOVE's cash position fell from DKK 13.6 million at the end of 2023 to DKK 6.3 million at the end of 2024. Total debt is DKK 7.5 million, giving HOVE a healthy resilience.
As no larger increase in working capital is expected in 2025, the board of directors proposes an extraordinary dividend of DKK 0.14 per share at the annual general meeting in April equaling a total dividend of DKK 3.45 million.
HOVE has not determined a future dividend policy, and as such future dividend payments will depend on the company's cash position, cash flow forecasts and financial results.
HOVE continues to follow the stated strategy in the IPO from 2021:
When HOVE was listed in 2021, the turnover was DKK 103 million and EBITDA DKK 6.5 million. Since then, HOVE's revenue has grown by 60% and EBITDA more than doubled. The objective that 50% of our revenue should come from subsidiaries has also been achieved.
Hove is committed to continuously reducing the climate impact of its operations and will, during the upcoming strategy period, work actively to further minimize its environmental footprint.
Hove is a participant in the UN Global Compact and is aligned with its principles, supporting the advancement of the company's sustainability agenda.
No events of significant importance to the company's financial position have occurred after the balance sheet date.
I would like to thank all customers for their good cooperation this year. Thanks to our passionate and flexible employees. And thanks to our shareholders for their support for HOVE.

We have audited the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements of Hove A/S for the financial year 1 January - 31 December 2024, which comprise income statement, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity and notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies, for both the Group and the Parent Company, as well as consolidated statement of cash flows. The Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements are prepared under the Danish Financial Statements Act.
In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and the Parent Company at 31 December 2024, and of the results of the Group and Parent Company operations as well as the consolidated cash flows for the financial year 1 January - 31 December 2024 in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act.
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 Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements" section of our report.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements 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.
Management is responsible for the preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Parent Company Financial Statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act, and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Parent Company Financial Statements that are free from material mis-statement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements, Management is responsible for
assessing the Group's and the Parent 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 Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements unless Management either intends to liquidate the Group or the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company 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 and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users of accounting information taken on the basis of these Consolidated Financial Statements and Parent Company Financial Statements.
As part of an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
er a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's and the Parent 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 Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company 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 Group and the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
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.
Management is responsible for Management's Review.
Our opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company 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 Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read Management's Review and, in doing so, consider whether Management's Review is materially inconsistent with the Consolidated Financial Statements or the Parent Company Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise appears to be materi-ally 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, we conclude that Management's Review is in accordance with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Danish Financial Statement Act.
We did not identify any material misstatement of Management's Review.

The annual report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Danish Financial Statements Act for medium-sized Class C enterprises.
The financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as the previous year.
Assets are recognized in the balance sheet when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the company, and the asset's value can be reliably measured.
Liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet when it is probable that future economic resources will be expended by the company, and the value of the liability can be reliably measured.
At initial recognition, assets and liabilities are measured at cost. Subsequently, assets and liabilities are measured as described for each accounting item below.
Certain financial assets and liabilities are measured at amortized cost, applying a constant effective interest rate over their term. Amortized cost is calculated as the original cost price, adjusted for repayments and the accumulated amortization of the difference between cost and nominal amount.
Recognition and measurement take into account foreseeable losses and risks that arise before the annual report is presented and that confirm or disprove conditions existing at the balance sheet date.
Revenue is recognized in the income statement as it is earned, including value adjustments of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value or amortized cost. Expenses incurred to generate the year's revenue, including depreciation, impairment losses, and provisions, as well as reversals due to changes in accounting estimates, are also recognized in the income statement.
The consolidated financial statements include the parent company, HOVE A/S, and subsidiaries where HOVE A/S directly or indirectly holds more than 50% of the voting rights or otherwise exercises control. Companies in which the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting rights and exerts significant but not controlling influence are considered associates.
In the consolidation process, intra-group income and expenses, shareholdings, intercompany balances, dividends, and realized and unrealized gains and losses from transactions between consolidated entities are eliminated.
Investments in subsidiaries are offset against the proportionate share of the subsidiaries' fair value of net assets and liabilities at the acquisition date.
Newly acquired or newly established companies are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Companies that are sold or liquidated are included in the consolidated income statement until the date of disposal. Comparative figures are not adjusted for newly acquired, sold, or liquidated companies.
Gains or losses from the disposal of subsidiaries and associated companies are calculated as the difference between the selling price and the carrying amount of net assets at the date of sale, including any unamortized goodwill and expected costs related to the sale or liquidation.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate on the transaction date. Receivables, liabilities, and other monetary items in foreign currencies that have not been settled at the balance sheet date are translated at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in the income statement under financial items.
Foreign subsidiaries are considered independent entities. Their income statements are translated at the average exchange rate for the year, and balance sheet items are translated at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from the translation of foreign subsidiaries' equity at the beginning of the year and the translation of income statements from average exchange rates to balance sheet date exchange rates are recognized directly in equity.
Foreign exchange adjustments of intercompany balances with independent foreign subsidiaries, which are considered part of the total investment in the subsidiary, are recognized directly in equity. Similarly, foreign exchange gains and losses on loans and derivative financial instruments entered into to hedge net investments in foreign subsidiaries are recognized directly in equity.
Revenue is recognized in the income statement when delivery and transfer of risk to the buyer have occurred before the end of the financial year. Revenue is recognized excluding VAT and net of salesrelated discounts.
This item includes the cost of raw materials and consumables used to generate the company's revenue.
Other operating income includes wage subsidies and other operating income of a secondary nature.
Other external costs include expenses for distribution, sales, advertising, administration, premises, bad debts, operational leasing costs, etc.
Other operating expenses include items of a secondary nature relative to the company's core activities, including losses from the sale of intangible and tangible fixed assets.
Lease payments under contracts that are not classified as finance leases, as well as other rental agreements, are recognized in the income statement over the contract period. The company's total obligations regarding lease and rental agreements are disclosed under contractual obligations and contingencies.
Staff costs include wages and salaries, as well as social security costs, pensions, and other expenses related to the company's employees.
Financial items include interest income and expenses, finance lease costs, realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on securities, debt, and foreign currency transactions, loan amortization, and adjustments related to pre-paid tax schemes.
Results from group companies are included in the income statement based on the proportionate share of the companies' results, adjusted for internal gains or losses.
The tax expense for the year, consisting of current tax and changes in deferred tax, is recognized in the income statement as far as it relates to the year's result, and directly in equity for items affecting equity directly.
The company has been subject to mandatory joint taxation for part of the financial year, covering the parent company and its Danish subsidiaries.
The company has been subject to mandatory joint taxation for part of the financial year, covering the parent company and its Danish subsidiaries. The current Danish corporate tax is allocated by settlement of joint taxation contributions among the jointly taxed companies based on their taxable income. Companies with tax losses receive joint taxation contributions from companies that have utilized these losses (full allocation method).
Development projects include costs such as salaries, wages, and depreciation that can be directly or indirectly attributed to the company's development activities and meet the criteria for recognition. Development costs are measured at cost.
Capitalized development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 years after the completion of the development work.
Development projects that are clearly defined and identifiable, where technical feasibility, sufficient resources, and a potential future market or business opportunity can be demonstrated, and where it is the company's intention to produce, market, or use the project, are recognized as intangible assets if the cost can be reliably measured and there is sufficient certainty that future earnings will cover production, sales, and administrative expenses.
ther development costs are recognized in the income statement as incurred.
Land and buildings are measured at fair value, less accumulated depreciation. Straight-line depreciation is applied based on an assessment of the expected useful lives and residual values of individual assets.
The depreciation base is the fair value at the beginning of the year, less the expected residual value after the useful life. The fair value is determined based on a third-party valuation.
Revaluation of land and buildings, less deferred tax, is allocated to the revaluation reserve under equity.
Other tangible assets are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Straight-line depreciation is applied based on an assessment of the expected useful lives and residual values of individual assets.
The depreciation base is the cost price, less the expected residual value after the useful life. Cost includes the purchase price and any direct costs incurred in making the asset ready for use.
The depreciation period and residual value are determined at the acquisition date and reassessed annually. If the residual value exceeds the carrying amount, depreciation ceases. Any changes in the depreciation period or residual value are recognized prospectively as a change in accounting estimate.
The expected useful lives and residual values are as follows:
| Asset Type | Useful Life | Residual Value (DKK) |
|---|---|---|
| Buildings and solar panels |
50 years | 3,975,000 |
| Production equipment and machines |
5 - 7 years | 265,000 |
| Other equipment, operating assets, and inventory |
5 years | 0 |
Gains or losses from the disposal of tangible assets are calculated as the difference between the selling price, net of selling costs, and the carrying amount at the time of sale. Gains or losses are recognized in the income statement under other operating income or other operating expenses.
Leased tangible assets that meet the criteria for financial leasing are treated according to the same principles as owned assets.
The carrying amount of both intangible and tangible fixed assets is assessed annually for indications of impairment beyond what is reflected in depreciation.
If indications of impairment exist, an impairment test is performed for each asset or asset group. The asset is written down to its recoverable amount if this is lower than the carrying amount.
The recoverable amount is the higher of the net selling price and the value in use. The value in use is calculated as the present value of expected net income from the use of the asset or asset group.
Investments in affiliated companies are recognized using the equity method as the consolidation method. The share of the annual result is included in the income statement. In the balance sheet, the proportionate ownership share of the affiliated company's book equity is measured according to the parent company's accounting policies, adjusted for unrealized internal group gains or losses.
Deposits are measured at cost.
Inventories are measured at cost using the FIFO method. If the cost price is higher than the net realizable value, a write-down is made to the lower value.
The net realizable value of inventories is determined as the expected selling price, less costs of completion and sales costs, taking into account marketability, obsolescence, and expected price developments.
Receivables are measured at amortized cost, which usually corresponds to nominal value. The value is reduced by write-downs to account for expected losses based on an assessment of individual receivables.
Prepayments recognized under assets include costs incurred that relate to subsequent financial years.
This category includes liquid assets.
The reserve for net revaluation under the equity method includes net revaluations of investments in subsidiaries and associated companies relative to their cost price. The reserve may be reduced in case of losses, the realization of investments, or changes in accounting estimates. The reserve cannot be negative.
The reserve for development costs includes recognized development expenses. This reserve cannot be used for dividends or to cover losses. It is reduced or dissolved if the recognized development costs are depreciated or removed from the company's operations. This happens through a direct transfer to free reserves in equity.
Proposed dividends for the year are presented as a separate item under equity. The proposed dividend is recognized as a liability at the time of approval at the general meeting.
Financial liabilities are recognized at the time of borrowing at the received proceeds, net of transaction costs. In subsequent periods, financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, corresponding to the capitalized value using the effective interest rate, ensuring that the difference between the proceeds and the nominal value is recognized in the income statement over the loan period.
Current tax liabilities and current tax receivables are measured in the balance sheet as the calculated tax on the taxable income for the year, adjusted for taxes related to prior years' taxable income and prepaid tax installments.
Deferred tax is measured using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax value of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is calculated based on the tax rules and tax rates in effect at the balance sheet date, which are expected to apply when the deferred tax is realized as current tax. Changes in deferred tax due to adjustments in tax rates are recognized in the income statement.
Prepayments and accruals recognized under liabilities include payments received relating to income in subsequent financial years.
The cash flow statement is prepared using the indirect method and presents cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities, as well as cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and end of the year.
Cash flows from operating activities are determined as the net profit for the year adjusted for non-cash operating items and changes in working capital.
Cash flows from investing activities include purchases and sales of non-current assets.
Cash flows from financing activities include proceeds from and repayments of long-term debt, short-term borrowings from credit institutions, dividend distributions, and net proceeds from share issuances.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and short-term marketable securities that are readily convertible to cash with an insignificant risk of value changes.
