Geir Håøy, President and CEO Geir Håøy, President & CEO
We are experiencing strong demand for our products, delivering a 20% increase in revenues and solid profitability also in Q2. We operate in a world impacted by escalating conflicts and evolving framework conditions. For more than 210 years, KONGSBERG has navigated through changing market conditions. Our achievements over the past year confirm our ability to develop sought-after solutions in a dynamic world.
Operations in Q2 were solid. All business areas increased their operating revenues compared to Q2 2024. The growth was primarily driven by increased deliveries of missiles and air defense systems from the defense segment, solutions for the newbuild market in the maritime sector, and high activity related to the delivery of underwater technology.
We are currently experiencing record-high market activity in the defence sector. The demand for our defence systems is substantial, and we are also seeing increased interest from defence customers in our civilian business areas. Several nations have announced plans to procure KONGSBERG systems. Germany announced early in Q2 that it would acquire the Joint Strike Missile for its F-35 fighter jets, with the contract being signed at the end of June. In June, we also entered into an agreement with Thales, which involves the merger of our respective units for tactical communication solutions. The merged company will be wellpositioned to capture market share in an area that is receiving significant investment in Europe.
We are seeing significant demand for energy-efficient solutions in the vessel market. Our order intake has been strong, despite the shipyards experiencing fewer orders for new vessels compared to last year. The composition of the vessels being ordered from the shipyards is positive from our perspective. More advanced vessels are being ordered, and there is positive development in markets where KONGSBERG has traditionally held strong positions, such as the offshore market. A substantial order backlog with a historically long horizon makes us resilient to short-term market fluctuations. The maritime industry is at the beginning of a comprehensive transition towards more energy-efficient solutions and renewable energy sources, and Kongsberg Maritime will be a leading player in this transition.
KONGSBERG has a comprehensive and highly sought-after underwater technology portfolio and is exposed to both defence and civilian markets. The acquisition of the American hydroacoustic company Sonatech has opened new opportunities in the American market. Subsea technology remains a critical focus area in the US and globally, and we are strongly positioned through our product portfolio.
KONGSBERG is well-prepared to meet both existing and emerging needs in a rapidly changing world. With a global presence, close collaboration with authorities, customers, and suppliers, and an organization driven by high competence and innovation, we continue to create value by delivering solutions that truly make a difference for our customers and partners.

The Group had MNOK 14,385 in cash and cash equivalents at the end of 2nd quarter compared to MNOK 16,460 at the end of Q1 2025, a decrease of MNOK 2,075 in the quarter. Cash flow from operating activities in the quarter was MNOK 214.
The Group's cash flow from investment activities was MNOK (337). The main drivers behind this were investments in increased capacity and product development.
Cash flow from financing activities was MNOK (1,969) in the quarter, mainly related to the payment of the first tranche of dividends of MNOK (1,759).
So far this year, KONGSBERG has had a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of MNOK 91. The largest negative cash flows were related to dividend payments, acquisitions of businesses, investments in increased capacity and product development. The positive effect on cash flow comes mainly from payments for the sale of the steering gear and rudder business and net cash flow from operating activities.

At the end of the quarter, KONGSBERG had interest-bearing bond debt of total MNOK 2,500. See Note 7 for further information. The Group has a syndicated and committed loan facility of MNOK 2,500, as well as an overdraft facility of MNOK 1,500.
Net interest-bearing debt at the end of Q2 was MNOK (9,072) compared to MNOK (11,302) at the end of 2024. The reduction in net interest-bearing debt was driven by the increase in cash equivalents.
KONGSBERG has a long-term issuer rating of A- with a «positive outlook» awarded by the credit rating agency Nordic Credit Rating. The standalone credit assessment is BBB+. The rating was last updated on 11 April 2025 and can be found on www.nordiccreditrating.com.
Kongsberg Digital's maritime portfolio was transferred to Kongsberg Maritime in Q1 2025. At the same time, Kongsberg Digital is focusing on digital twins, energy simulation and well operations. As part of KONGSBERG's strategic portfolio assessment, an evaluation of our strategic ownership position in Kongsberg Digital has been initiated.
This could lead to a future transaction. We have engaged J.P. Morgan as financial advisor in the assessment. Future communication about the process in Kongsberg Digital will follow as needed.
In Q3 2024, KONGSBERG signed an agreement to sell the steering gear and rudder business to a fund managed by the Nordic private equity company Norvestor. The steering gear and rudder business was part of the Propulsion & Handling division in Kongsberg Maritime. In 2024 this business had revenues of approximately MNOK 950. The transaction was carried out on 3 March 2025. The accounting gain of the sale of the steering gear and rudder business has been reported under other operations and has had an effect so far this year with a total of MNOK 1,206 on revenues and EBIT, divided between MNOK 1,048 in Q1 and MNOK 158 in Q2 2025.

Order backlog Breakdown by delivery date


Revenues were MNOK 6,386 in Q2, an increase of 7 per cent compared to the same quarter last year. Growth in Kongsberg Maritime was driven by increased delivery volumes for automation and control products to several different vessel types. The business area's technology deliveries have a strong market position in several vessel segments, and the growth in deliveries to newbuilds is a result of the solid and diversified order intake in recent years. Accumulated for H1 2025, operating revenues was MNOK 13,129, corresponding to a growth of 15 per cent compared with H1 2024.
Deliveries to the aftermarket accounted for about 52 percent of operating revenues in Q2, compared to 57 per cent in Q1.
EBIT was MNOK 716 in 2nd quarter, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 11.2 per cent compared to MNOK 729 (12.2 per cent) in the same quarter last year. EBIT in H1 2025 was MNOK 1,635, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 12.5 per cent, an increase from MNOK 1,482 (13.0 per cent) margin in the same period in 2024. Profitability between quarters may vary based on volume and project mix in the business area.
Order intake in the quarter was MNOK 7,519, corresponding to a book/bill of 1.18. Order intake in Q2 2024 was MNOK 6,131. Accumulated order intake in H1 2025 was MNOK 16,305, corresponding to a book/bill of 1.24.
There was a good order intake in the quarter, especially from the newbuilding market. Kongsberg Maritime is well positioned through advanced technology deliveries to various vessel segments. In particular, sales of solutions for offshore vessels were an important contributor to order intake in the quarter. Among the highlights, solid orders were signed for deliveries to shuttle tankers and PSV vessels. Order intake from the offshore segment accounted for about 35 percent of the total order intake from new vessels in Q2.
The average age of the world fleet has increased significantly over the past ten years, while demands for reduced emissions and energy efficiency have increased. Close cooperation with shipyards, vessel owners and operators over several decades has given the business area unique domain knowledge. Maritime expertise and significant investments in innovative technology provide a competitive advantage in both existing and new markets. The focus is on products and solutions that provide a high degree of operational efficiency and meet cybersecurity requirements. This provides a good basis for significant demand for Kongsberg Maritime's solutions in both the short and long term.
At the end of Q2 2025, Kongsberg Maritime had an order backlog of MNOK 26,201.
Kongsberg Digital's maritime portfolio was transferred to Kongsberg Maritime in Q1 2025. By combining the digital capabilities from Kongsberg Maritime and Kongsberg Digital with Kongsberg Maritime's broad product portfolio, a new step is taken to optimise vessel operations and reduce costs through more energy-efficient solutions for the maritime sector. In 2024, this part of Kongsberg Digital's operations had operating revenues of just over NOK 600 million. Approximately 500 employees have been transferred from Kongsberg Digital to Kongsberg Maritime as a result of the transaction.
In Q3 2024, KONGSBERG signed an agreement to sell its steering gear and rudder business to a fund managed by the Nordic private equity firm Norvestor. The steering gear and rudder business was part of Kongsberg Maritime's Propulsion & Handling division. In 2024, this business had revenues of approximately NOK 950 million and about 150 employees. The transaction was completed on 3 March 2025. The financial impact of the transaction is recorded under other operations and does not affect Kongsberg Maritime's results.
During the quarter, Kongsberg Maritime implemented an organisational change. Financially, Kongsberg Maritime will report on a new segment structure from Q3. The new segment structure is:

Revenues were MNOK 6,122 in Q2, up 38 per cent from the same quarter last year. A large part of the growth in the quarter was driven by increased activity in missile projects and air defence deliveries. Accumulated operating revenues so far in 2025 was MNOK 11,497, up 23 per cent compared to H1 2024.
EBIT was MNOK 875 in Q2, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 14.3 per cent compared to MNOK 703 (15.9 per cent) in the same quarter last year. The EBIT margin in this business area can fluctuate depending on the specific projects being executed. Accumulated for the first half of the year, EBIT was MNOK 1,723 compared to MNOK 1,403 in the same period in 2024.
The share of net income from associated companies was MNOK 113 in the quarter compared with MNOK 96 in the corresponding quarter 2024. Patria's figures for Q2 include March, April and May. See also note 5.
Order intake was MNOK 9,841 in 2nd quarter corresponding to a book/bill of 1.61. Accumulated order intake in H1 2025 was MNOK 20,214 compared to MNOK 15,447 in H1 2024. At the end of the quarter, the business area had an order backlog of MNOK 109,242, an increase of MNOK 3,803 during the quarter and an increase of MNOK 37,736 from Q2 2024.
In June, Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace signed a contract worth NOK 6.5 billion for deliveries of the Joint Strike Missile (JSM) to Germany. The contract is structured as a sale between Norway and Germany, where Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace has signed a contract with the Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency in Norway. Germany becomes the fifth nation to acquire JSM, following Norway, Japan, Australia and the United States.
Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace develops and supplies equipment and technology to the Norwegian Armed Forces and Norway's allies. NATO countries are investing in and strengthening their own defence capability. There is great demand for Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace's core products such as air defence, missiles and weapon stations. The order backlog for missiles and air defence systems now amounts to approximately NOK 90 billion. This has driven growth and led to significant capacity expansions. In 2024, the new missile factory in Kongsberg opened. The capacity expansions continue and in 2025 we have started construction of a new missile factory in
Australia. Construction of a new missile factory in the United States will start later this year.
In Norway, there is a high level of activity in connection with fleet renewal in the Navy with new frigates and standardised vessels. Both of these procurements offer great opportunities for KONGSBERG. Our Vanguard concept is designed to meet the need for standardized vessels and the concept has also generated international interest.
KONGSBERG is engaged in multiple projects aimed at developing solutions to address current and future needs. The new supersonic missile 3SM is a development project in collaboration with the German industry to introduce a new longrange missile that expands the current missile portfolio and complements the NSM and JSM. In the field of air defence, efforts are being made to expand NASAMS to address a broader spectrum of ranges and threats, known as Full Spectrum Air Defence. Achieving a good balance between short-term opportunities and long-term strategic plans is crucial for sustained success over time.
KONGSBERG and Thales have agreed to merge two of their business units, Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace's tactical communications unit and Thales' unit for crypto and secure communications in Norway. A joint venture will be established to meet the growing demand for effective communication within defence in Norway, NATO and other countries. The new company will be owned 50/50 by Thales and Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace and will include approximately 350 employees in Oslo, Trondheim and Asker, Norway. The two businesses had a combined revenues of approximately NOK 1,500 million in 2024.
Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace has entered into an agreement with Ukrainian industrial players to develop and deliver low-cost anti-aircraft missiles and unmanned surface vehicles (USVs). Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace has also established an office in Kyiv.
In Q2, we successfully launched two new microsatellites, ARVAKER 2 and 3. The two satellites are part of the N3X satellite constellation that has been developed to ensure stable monitoring of maritime activity. With the satellites in orbit, KONGSBERG can support Norway and other global players and ensure further increased maritime safety.
In Q2, KONGSBERG signed a contract with Veidekke for the construction of a new building, Utsikten, which will house around 2,300 employees in Kongsberg. The building is expected to be completed in 2028.

Revenues were MNOK 1,226 in Q2, an increase of 21 per cent compared to the same quarter last year. The business area had particularly high activity in the quarter related to deliveries of autonomous underwater vehicles and mapping and positioning systems. Accumulated operating revenues for H1 was MNOK 2,583, an increase of 25 per cent from H1 2024.
margin of 18.8 per cent compared to MNOK 143 (14.2 per cent) in the same quarter last year. The margin change from Q2 last year is mainly due to a more favourable project mix, good project execution, as well as volume effects. Accumulated for the first half of the year, EBIT was MNOK 470 (18.2 per cent) compared to MNOK 258 (12.5 per cent) in the same period in 2024.
Order intake in 2nd quarter was MNOK 966, corresponding to a book-to-bill of 0.79, compared to MNOK 839 in Q2 2024. Order intake for Kongsberg Discovery will vary between quarters due to larger individual orders. In Q2 , order intake was mainly driven by sales of standard products, as well as a HUGIN autonomous underwater vehicle.
Sustainable management of marine resources and security is an important driver for several of Kongsberg Discovery's products. The business area is exposed to these drivers in major market segments such as offshore energy generation, commercial fishing, seabed mapping, security and critical infrastructure monitoring. The demand for solutions for a better understanding of the ocean space, from commercial actors, public administration and defence customers, is increasing.
Sensor technology monitors and maps areas that are often difficult to access, such as deep sea areas, along the seabed and in the water column. There is a growing demand for technology to protect against various underwater threats such as submarines and mines. We are experiencing increased international attention to the need to protect and monitor critical infrastructure, and we have a broad product portfolio that is relevant to this area.
At the end of Q2 2025, Kongsberg Discovery had an order backlog of MNOK 2,919.
In June 2025, KONGSBERG announced the acquisition of Sonatech, an American company with 50 years of experience in underwater acoustics. Sonatech has a strong and solid relationship with the U.S. Navy. Combined with the business area's technology portfolio and expertise, the transaction will increasingly make our systems and products available to the U.S. Navy.
Sonatech had MUSD 32.8 in operating revenues in 2024. The acquisition will be completed later in 2025, subject to necessary approvals from the US authorities.
The acquisition of Sonatech is the second acquisition the business area has signed in 2025. In the first quarter, Kongsberg Discovery acquired the technology company Naxys Technologies, which is a leading player in passive hydro acoustics, primarily aimed at environmental monitoring. Naxys Technologies had operating revenues of MNOK 124 in 2024.
Over the past years, KONGSBERG has had a positive development, demonstrated good adaptability, delivered significant growth and strong results.
At the end of Q2 2025, the Group had an order backlog of NOK 139 billion, of which NOK 22 billion will be delivered during 2025. This corresponds to NOK 3 billion higher order coverage for H2 2025 compared to H2 2024 and provides a solid foundation for continued growth. Order intake from the aftermarket is to a lesser extent included in the order backlog. Framework agreements are only included in the order backlog when orders under the agreement are received.
KONGSBERG is exposed to market trends that provide significant growth potential going forward. To ensure capacity to deliver the existing order backlog and to meet future demand, investments are being made both in and outside Norway. In recent years, we have both started and completed new facilities. As communicated at the company's Capital Markets Day in 2024, we are in a period of increased investments that will persist until 2027-2028.
Kongsberg Maritime supplies newbuild and aftermarket customers in a wide range of vessel segments, from traditional merchant fleets to more advanced vessels performing complex marine operations. A generally ageing vessel fleet and stricter requirements related to emissions create a need for fleet renewal, which underpins longterm demand for the business area's solutions. However, the renewal of the maritime fleet will take time, as the capacity of the shipyards limits the number of new vessels being built. Technology is the key to succeeding in creating a more environmentally friendly maritime fleet, and Kongsberg Maritime's ambition is to be a leader in this development. The business area is well positioned in a market with an increasing need for efficient and emission-reducing technology, which provides a basis for further growth in 2025.
Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace has experienced continuous growth in recent years, with an order backlog exceeding NOK 109 billion by the end of H1 2025. By 2025, all missile production will be relocated to new facilities. The mix of projects being delivered is a key driver of profitability, which may fluctuate between quarters. The business area holds leading market positions in several defence segments and is well-positioned for strong order intake and sustained growth in 2025.
Kongsberg Discovery has an extensive portfolio of advanced technology combined with deep domain knowledge and advanced software. This is important in fisheries, marine research, marine operations, ocean-based energy production and monitoring of critical infrastructure. There is significant demand for technology across all these segments. The business area's strong positions provide the solid foundation for continued growth in 2025.
The world is facing climate and security challenges while simultaneously navigating an constantly changing geopolitical landscape.

1 General information and principles
The consolidated financial statement for 2nd quarter (interim financial statement) covers Kongsberg Gruppen ASA, its subsidiaries and shares in joint arrangements and associated companies that are included according to the equity method.
Interim financial statements are compiled in accordance with IAS 34 (interim reporting), stock exchange regulations and the additional requirements of the Securities Trading Act. Interim financial statements do not include the same amount of information as the full financial statements and should be read in the context of the consolidated financial statements for 2024. The consolidated financial statements for 2024 were prepared in compliance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and international standards for financial reporting (IFRS) established by the EU.
The consolidated financial statements for 2024 are available on www.kongsberg.com.
The interim financial statement has not been audited.

The accounting principles used in the quarterly report are the same principles as those applied to the consolidated financial statements for 2024.
Changes in accounting standards with effect from 1.1.25 have not had a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Preparing the interim financial statement involves assessments, estimates and assumptions that affect the use of accounting principles and posted amounts for assets and obligations, revenues and expenses. Actual results may deviate from these estimates. The key considerations in connection with the application of the Group's accounting principles and the major sources of uncertainty remain the same as when the 2024 consolidated financial statements was compiled. The first half year of 2025 has been characterised by great political unrest and uncertainty and KONGSBERG may be affected if this continues. At the end of the quarter his has not had any effect on the financial figures.

KONGSBERG considers EBITDA and EBIT to be normal accounting terms, but they are not included in the IFRS accounting standards. EBITDA is the abbreviation of "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation". KONGSBERG uses EBITDA in the income statement as a summation line for other accounting lines.

Net interest-bearing debt/EBITDA is defined as net interestbearing debt divided by 12-month rolling EBITDA.
