Highlights
In H1 2024/25, consolidated revenue amounted to DKKm 113.0, against DKKm 110.6 in the year-earlier period. The Composite product group generated revenue growth, while the FOC product group's revenue declined.
Operating profit before depreciation, amortisation and impairment (EBITDA) and before special items for H1 2024/25 was DKKm 26.2 (DKKm 15.1)1 and operating profit (EBIT) before special items was DKKm 19.0 (DKKm 6.8).
Consolidated revenue was realised at the lower end of the previously guided range, whereas earnings were realised at the upper end of the previously
guided range for the first half. The improved earnings were due to a favourable product mix and realised productivity enhancements resulting from investments in production and ongoing optimisation of operations.
In the first half of 2024/25, Roblon decided to cease production and marketing of a product for the European FOC market. In the financial statements, this decision meant that an expense of DKKm 3.9 was recognised under special items regarding impairment of production plant and a product development project and, to a lesser extent, a loss on inventories.
The profit from continuing operations before tax for H1 2024/25 was DKKm 14.5 (DKKm 6.2).
In Company Announcement no. 6 dated 2 June 2025, the Company stated that a declaration of intent has been signed regarding the divestment of Roblon's US subsidiary. The effects of this on Roblon's interim financial statements for the first half are as follows:
As part of the divestment of the US subsidiary, Roblon will make a contribution of approximately DKKm 7.7 on completion of the divestment. As previously mentioned, an additional expense of DKKm 2.5-4 is expected to be incurred in advisory fees. Subsequent to the divestment, Roblon will have no further liquidity obligations towards the divested US subsidiary.
The divestment is expected to be completed by the end of July 2025.
In Company announcement no. 6 dated 2 June 2025, Management announced that it had upgraded its full-year 2024/25 guidance for continuing operations. The guidance remains as follows:
As previously guided, special items relating to expenses in connection with the divestment of the subsidiary are expected to be in the range of DKKm 2.5-4. The amount will be reported under profit/loss from discontinued operations.

Roblon's management reporting is based on one segment comprising the following product groups:
The Group's order intake amounted to DKKm 144.6 in H1 2024/25 (DKKm 132.2). The DKKm 12.4 net increase covered a DKKm 19.9 improvement in the Composite product group and a DKKm 7.5 decline in the FOC product group.
The Composite product group's improvement was driven by an increased order intake in offshore oil and gas, while the order intake in energy transmission was on a par with the previous year. We have experienced an increasing number of customer enquiries and higher sales activity for some time.
The declining order intake in the FOC product group was caused by a continued sluggish European FOC market, which is slowly fighting its way back to stability and growth. At the same time, European manufacturers, including Roblon, are under pressure from increasing competition from overseas manufacturers.
At the end of April 2025, the Group's order book stood at DKKm 84,7 (DKKm 88.1), distributed with DKKm 15.3 (DKKm 17.9) in the FOC product group and DKKm 69.4 (DKKm 70.2) in the Composite product group.
Roblon reported revenue of DKKm 113.0 (DKKm 110.6) for H1 2024/25, which was at the lower end of Management's guidance. The DKKm 2.4 year-on-year revenue improvement covered a DKKm 17.7 increase in the Composite product group and a DKKm 15.3 decline in the FOC product group. As expected, revenue for H1 2024/25 was adversely impacted by market conditions in the FOC industry. On the other hand, the performance of the Composite product group was positive, as expected.
The Group's gross profit was DKKm 74.4 (DKKm 65.2) and the gross margin for H1 2024/25 was 65.9% (58.9%), supported by a favourable product mix.
As mentioned in Roblon's interim report for Q1 2024/25, the Group previously incurred costs payable to the Czech authorities related to a tax case in Roblon's Czech subsidiary dating back to before Roblon's acquisition of the subsidiary. In the first half of 2024/25, the Group has received a settlement amount of DKKm 1.3 from the seller of the Czech subsidiary, which has been reported under other operating income.
Other external costs amounted to DKKm 12.4 (DKKm 11.1) in H1 2024/25. The DKKm 1.3 increase related to higher legal and technical advisory expenses and rising IT licence costs.
Staff costs amounted to DKKm 37.2 in H1 2024/25 (DKKm 39.3). The decrease was driven by reduced senior employee costs due to the departures of the former CEO of Roblon A/S and the General Manager of the Group's Czech subsidiary in Q2 2023/24. As provision was made for remuneration during the notice period in 2023/24, there were no staff costs relating to these persons in H1 2024/25. A further reason for the reduction is that the figures for the year-earlier period included costs related to the former tax case in Roblon's Czech subsidiary, for which Roblon has received compensation from the seller in 2025.
In H1 2024/25, EBITDA before depreciation, amortisation and impairment (EBITDA) and before special items amounted to DKKm 26.2 (DKKm 15.1), which was in line with the higher end of Management's guidance. The improved earnings were due to a favourable product mix and realised productivity enhancements resulting from investments in production and ongoing optimisation of operations.
The Group's depreciation, amortisation and impairment for H1 2024/25 amounted to DKKm 7.2 (DKKm 8.3). The drop was mainly due to the fact that the investment in Roblon's ERP system was amortised in full in 2024.
In H1 2024/25, EBIT before special items amounted to DKKm 19.0 (DKKm 6.8), which was in line with the higher end of Management's expectations.
In H1 2024/25, Roblon decided to cease production and marketing of a product for the European FOC market, the development and introduction of which has been ongoing for the past 1-2 years, as it has generated no significant new revenue. It is Management's assessment that Roblon will not be able to price this specific product competitively against overseas manufacturers. Unlike previously, the product is now considered more of a commodity product with a large number of providers and a high degree of uniformity. In the financial statements, this decision meant that an expense of DKKm 3.9 was recognised under special items regarding impairment of production plant and a product development project and, to a lesser extent, a loss on inventories.
In connection with the 2024/25 profit guidance, the Company states that it expects costs in relation to the divestment of the US subsidiary of around DKKm 2.5-4. These costs are reported under profit/loss from discontinued operations.
The Group's net financial items for H1 2024/25 amounted to a net expense of DKKm 0.6 a (net expense of DKKm 0.7). The net amount was made up of DKKm 0.2 in positive foreign exchange adjustments and DKKm 0.8 in interest expenses.
Profit/loss from continuing operations before tax
For H1 2024/25, the Group posted a profit from continuing operations before tax of DKKm 14.5 (a profit of DKKm 6.2).
In Company Announcement no. 7 dated 16 September 2024, Roblon announced the commencement of a process to divest the Group's US subsidiary, and in Company Announcement no. 4 dated 27 February 2025, Roblon stated that the process was expected to be completed before the end of July 2025.
In Company Announcement no. 6 dated 2 June 2025, Roblon announced the signing of a declaration of intent with two executive officers of Roblon US Inc. on their acquisition of the Group's US subsidiary. The divestment will be structured as an MBO under a number of principal terms, including that Roblon's receivable in the subsidiary is to be written down from approx. USDm 12.5 to USDm 5.2 and that Roblon is to keep one share in Roblon US Inc., which
will confer special dividend rights on Roblon for a number of years.
As part of the divestment, a capital contribution of approximately DKKm 7.7 will be made on completion of the divestment. As mentioned above, additional expenses of DKKm 2.5-4 are expected to be incurred in advisory fees. Subsequent to the divestment, Roblon will have no further liquidity obligations towards the divested US subsidiary.
A divestment on the above-mentioned principal terms will entail that the Group will recognise the loan of approx. USDm 5.2 (approx. DKKm 34) in the balance sheet and write down the receivable based on the expected credit loss (ECL) model. The risk of loss in accordance with the ECL model is currently assessed to be low, and there is no indication of significant impairment of the loan value.
Assessments of Roblon US Inc.'s future earnings capacity and cash flows indicate a valuation on a debt-free basis of around DKKm 0-15. Based on the uncertainties as to the timing and amount of any future dividend payments and/or proceeds from a potential sale of Roblon US Inc. after closing, the value of the special rights attached to Roblon's one share in Roblon US Inc. has been recognised in Roblon's balance sheet at DKKm 0.
An expected sale on the principal terms set out in the declaration of intent between the parties will result in the recognition of a loss of around DKKm 31 on the divestment in the consolidated financial statements. The amount will be reported under profit/loss from discontinued operations.
In the consolidated balance sheet at 30 April 2025, the value of Roblon's US subsidiary has been recognised at an amount reflecting its expected value on completion of the divestment, as mentioned above. Accordingly, at 30 April 2025, consolidated equity has been reduced by DKKm 31 to DKKm 171.1 and the solvency ratio has been reduced by 3.6 percentage points to 65.5% as a result of the value adjustment of the US subsidiary.
The profit/loss of the US subsidiary for the period and the expected loss on the divestment of the subsidiary are recognised under profit/loss from discontinued operations after tax and in H1 2024/25 amounted to a loss of DKKm 37.2 (a loss of DKKm 16.2). This amount includes advisory expenses relating to the divestment in the amount of DKKm 0.7.
The loss after tax for continuing and discontinued operations in H1 2024/25 was DKKm 25.7 (a loss of DKKm 11.6). Tax for the period was calculated at the applicable tax rates in the countries in which the Group has operations.
The Group's total assets at 30 April 2025 amounted to DKKm 261.4 (DKKm 290.0).
Investments in property, plant and equipment amounted to DKKm 6.3 (DKKm 4.3) in H1 2024/25.
Inventories amounted to DKKm 52.2 (DKKm 54.9), down by DKKm 2.7. However, the amount is significantly higher than the level of DKKm 33.7 at the beginning of the financial year as a result of finished products to be delivered in May 2025 at an approximate value of DKKm 11 and increased stockbuilding to support order execution.
Trade receivables amounted to DKKm 62.7 (DKKm 42.3). The increase was due to the timing of revenue towards the end of the second quarter of 2024/25 relative to last year. The increase in trade receivables is significantly lower when compared to the level of DKKm 56.9 at the beginning of the financial year.
The Group's equity at 30 April 2025 amounted to DKKm 171.1 (DKKm 196.3). The equity ratio at 30 April 2025 was 65.5% (67.7%).
The Group's cash flow from operating activities for H1 2024/25 was a net outflow of DKKm 9.4 (an inflow of DKKm 35.0), adversely affected by an increase in working capital since 31 October 2024, which was driven by an increase in capital tied up in inventories and trade receivables, as mentioned under Consolidated balance sheet above.
Total cash flow from investing activities was a net outflow of DKKm 6.3 (a net outflow of DKKm 4.4).
Cash flow from financing activities for H1 2024/25 was a net outflow of DKKm 1.5 (a net outflow of DKKm 58.2), consisting of drawing on operating credits and repayment of lease liabilities and debt to credit institutions.
At 30 April 2025, net deposits of cash amounted to DKKm 2.1 (DKKm 3.4).
The Group's total credit facilities amounted to DKKm 84.0 (DKKm 84.0), and at 30 April, the Group had an undrawn credit facility of DKKm 82.0 (DKKm 84.0).
Total cash resources at 30 April 2025 amounted to DKKm 84.1 (DKKm 87.4).
In H1 2024/25, the Group incurred product development costs of DKKm 4.0 (DKKm 3.5).
In Company announcement no. 6 dated 2 June 2025, Management announced that it had upgraded its
full-year 2024/25 guidance for continuing operations. The guidance remains as follows:
As previously guided, special items relating to expenses in connection with the divestment of the subsidiary are expected to be in the range of DKKm 2.5-4. The amount will be reported under profit/loss from discontinued operations.
The above forward-looking statements, in particular revenue and earnings projections, are inherently uncertain and subject to risk. Many factors are beyond Roblon's control and, consequently, actual results may differ significantly from the projections expressed in this interim report. Such factors include, but are not limited to, changes in the market and competitive situation, changes in demand and purchasing behaviour, foreign exchange and interest rate fluctuations and general economic, political and commercial conditions.

As expected, the Group's activities have been adversely affected by the market downturn in the fibre optic cable industry. Other than this, the Group's activities have not been affected by seasonal or cyclical fluctuations in the interim
The interim report is presented in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the EU and Danish disclosure requirements for listed companies. No interim report has been prepared for the parent company.
The accounting policies applied in the interim report are consistent with those applied in Roblon's annual report for 2023/24, which was prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU and additional Danish disclosure requirements for annual reports of listed companies. For a more detailed description of the accounting policies, see the annual report for 2023/24.
The preparation of interim reports requires Management to make accounting estimates that will affect the accounting policies and recognised assets, liabilities, income and costs. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The most significant estimates made by Management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the most significant uncertainties associated therewith in preparing the condensed interim report are identical to those applying to the preparation of the annual report for 2023/24.
