Outlook

ROLF BARMEN (CEO)

Outlook

  • Norgespris, the proposed addition to the Norwegian power support scheme, is expected to increase electricity consumption by reducing consumers' sensitivity to price fluctuations.
  • Insourcing of Power Trading function from May 2025 will enable i.a. intraday trading and improved accuracy on consumption forecasting – to mitigate increased system and balancing costs in the Nordic power market.
  • Fjordkraft Företag set to launch in the Swedish B2B market in May 2025. First distribution partner secured, providing significant opportunities within the B2B retail sector.
  • Actively pursuing acquisitions increased market opportunities.

Financial targets

P&L
Net revenue growth in all segments in 2024 and 2025.

Stable nominal opex adj., in line with 2023, for 2024 and 2025.
EBIT adj. in the area of NOK 550-600m for 2024 and 2025 with a positive

development throughout the period.
Dividend
Target pay-out ratio of at least 80% of net income, adjusted for certain
cash and non-cash items.
Leverage
No underlying change in leverage from current business model.

Reported net interest-bearing debt to increase in 2025 due to changes in
power purchase setup and classification of the current interest-bearing
supplier credit from Statkraft as "net working capital".

  • Net revenue growth and EBIT adj. likely below targets for 2025 due to high temperatures and correspondingly low volumes in Q1 2025.
  • Opex adj. target reiterated for 2025.
  • Guidance extended to also apply to 2026.
