About Norske tog

Norske tog procures, owns, and manages vehicles for rail passenger transport in Norway. The company leases train sets to train operators with an operating agreement with the Norwegian Railway Directorate. This structure facilitates efficient procurement and management of trains and gathers the associated specialist expertise in a single place.

Norske tog AS is owned by the Ministry of Transport and Communications and is a category 2 company. The rationale for the state's ownership is a desire to ensure that there is a provider offering rolling stock for rail passenger transport on competitively neutral terms. As an owner, the state's goal is to ensure the cost-efficient procurement and leasing of trains.

The half-year report has not been audited.

Highlights 1st half year 2025

  • Norske tog took ownership of the 23 airport express trains from Flytoget AS with accounting effect from April 1. This change occured in connection with Flytoget becoming a subsidiary of the Vy Group. The employees who had primary responsibility for following up on the airport express trains were transferred to Norske tog through a business transfer.
  • On April 8, Norske tog Forsikring AS was registered in the unit register. The company's purpose is limited to taking over insurance for and reinsurance of Norske tog AS. The company is 100% owned by Norske tog AS.
  • The first of the new local trains arrived in Norway on June 4. The train will undergo an extensive testing program before being put into service, scheduled for the second half of 2026.
  • Through the processing of the revised national budget for 2025, the Storting (Norwegian Parliament) agreed to the government's plan to change Norske tog's financing model, from the company issuing bonds in the private loan market to the state offering such loan financing. The Ministry of Transport and Communications and Norske tog signed the agreements on June 23, 2025, regulating the state loan scheme, which was ready to be used from July 1, 2025.
  • Norske tog has worked intensively to solve the problems with the lack of locomotives for the Nordlandsbanen. In the competitions that have been announced, the company has not received offers from suppliers. The matter is still ongoing, and there is direct dialogue with actors to find a solution.

Economic development in Norske tog

Results

Profit/loss

For the first half of 2025, Norske tog had a profit before tax of 130 MNOK (49 MNOK). Compared to the same period last year, this is an improvement of 81 MNOK, mainly due to an increase in revenue of 142 MNOK, in connection with the transition to a new model for calculating rental prices. Operating costs have increased by 81 MNOK compared to the same period last year. Salary costs have increased by 8 MNOK and depreciation has increased by 11 MNOK. The largest increase in costs is other costs, which have increased by 61 MNOK. There are increased costs in the subsidiary Norske tog Forsikring AS by 12 MNOK, modifications by 22 MNOK, IT costs by 6 MNOK, consultancy costs by 11 MNOK, and a new insurance agreement by 6 MNOK. In addition, financial costs have improved by 18 MNOK in the first half of 2025.

The result gives a rolling 12-month return on booked equity of 5.0 percent, which is in line with the target. The goal over time is to deliver a rolling 12-month return on booked equity of 5 percent.

Norske tog spends a lot of time on ongoing train procurements. Through these investments, the company contributes to a significant boost in the Norwegian railway sector. Norske tog's annual return will fluctuate in line with the scope of planned investment projects.the scope of planned investment projects.

Equity

The equity ratio of Norske tog has decreased from 25.6 percent in the first half of 2024 to 25.3 percent in the first half of 2025. This is mainly due to increased borrowing as a result of planned investments in trains.

1st half-year 2024 1st half-year 2025

Financing

Norske tog has good creditworthiness. Standard & Poor's has given the company a long-term credit rating of A+ (stable).

Until the second half of 2025, the company has utilized borrowing through the Euro Medium Term Note (EMTN) program. The EMTN program contains no financial covenants but includes an ownership clause stating that the state must own 100 percent of Norske tog.

As of June 30, 2025, Norske tog has 1,150 MNOK in bond loans maturing within the next 12 months. The next maturity is a loan of 650 MNOK due in November 2025.

Through the processing of the revised national budget for 2025, the Storting (Norwegian Parliament) agreed to the government's plan to change Norske tog's financing model, from the company issuing bonds in the private loan market to the state offering such loan financing. The Ministry of Transport and Communications and Norske tog signed agreements on June 23, 2025, regulating the state loan scheme, which is ready to be used from July 1, 2025. The framework agreement between the Ministry of Transport and Communications and Norske tog states that Norske tog's credit rating will eventually be phased out, but only after the Ministry of Transport and Communications has conducted a buyback offer for outstanding bond loans under the company's EMTN program.

Cash Flow

Net cash flow from operations is 710 MNOK (490 MNOK). Net cash flow used for investments is -1 687 MNOK (-470 MNOK), where the funds are mainly used for the demerger with Flytoget. Net cash flow from investments is 980 MNOK (244 MNOK), which is mainly borrowings. Net change in cash flow is 2 MNOK (264 MNOK).

Risk management

Financial risk

The company's overall risk management plan focuses on the unpredictability of capital markets and attempts to minimize the potential negative effects on the company's financial results.

Through the processing of the revised national budget for 2025, the Storting has agreed to the government's plan to change Norske tog's financing model. From July 1, 2025, loan financing will be offered directly from the state, instead of the company obtaining loans in the private market. The Ministry of Transport and Communications and Norske tog signed agreements on June 23, 2025, regulating the state loan scheme. Norske tog will continue to have financial freedom to secure necessary financing for operations and investments and is committed to maintaining this in the new financing model.

Norske tog will going forward take out loans in Norwegian kroner through the new state loan scheme. As a result, the company is not exposed to currency risk on debt.

The framework agreement states that Norske tog's credit rating will be discontinued, but only after the Ministry of Transport and Communications has conducted an offer to repurchase outstanding bond loans under the company's EMTN program. The repurchases are planned as a one-time event in August/September 2025, with Danske Bank A/S as the arranger.

The company makes purchases from foreign suppliers and is therefore exposed to currency risk. As Norske tog is entitled to include the realised exchange rate used for procurements in the lease the company receives from the train operators, the Ministry of Transport and Communications is of the opinion that there will be no need to hedge the procurement.

Norske tog is exposed to changes in interest rates. The company utilises interest rate swaps to reduce interest rate risk and to achieve the desired interest rate structure on its debt. Targets have been established that regulate the proportion of loans that will be subject to interest rate adjustments in a twelve-month period, and for fixed interest rates on the portfolio. The goal is to have approximately 70 per cent at fixed and 30 per cent at floating rates.

According to established targets, 150 per cent of the company's capital requirement in the next 12-month period will be covered by free liquidity and established credit facilities.

Norske tog has a framework for green bonds. As long as Norske tog has outstanding green bonds, the company will annually prepare a detailed report describing which green investment projects have been financed through green bonds and what the actual environmental and climate impacts of these projects are. Norske tog strives to follow the market's best practices in reporting and is continuously working to improve the company's environmental impact reporting.

Operational Risk

Systematic analyses of operational risk and the achievement of financial targets are carried out. Based on risk analyses, control activities have been established to reduce identified risks, including automatic controls, audits and follow-up, as well as extended analyses related to special risk areas.

Norske tog is responsible for maintaining and, if necessary, extending the technical service life of the trains it owns. A risk for the company is a lack of financing to maintain the service life through mid-life upgrades and other modifications. In order for Norske tog to be able to deliver on the company's goals and the owner's expectations, the company must have a financing model that provides sufficient rental income and return to enable the company to make the necessary acquisitions in time and at the same time have the financial room to maneuver to carry out the necessary upgrades.

A large proportion of the company's fleet is getting old and needs to be replaced. In order for the company to be able to deliver a better train service in accordance with the expectations in the National Transport Plan (NTP), Norske tog is dependent on being able to exercise the options in existing procurement agreements. It takes a minimum of 18 months from exercising an option until new trains are delivered.

There is a limited risk that Norske tog will not have access to the train sets at the right time to make major upgrades or changes. The next few years most of the trains and tracks that are accessible for upgrades will have ERTMS installed and there will be less availability for other upgrades.

Norske tog is well underway with the largest train procurement program in Norwegian history. Both new local- and long-distance trains will be purchased. These are essential purchases to maintain today's train services and to make travelling by train more attractive. With a record number of trains to be procured in such a short space of time, it is crucial, in terms of both efficiency and costs, that Norske tog has the key in-house expertise to follow up the projects effectively.

Delays in the projects could mean it takes longer to reduce train delays and cancellations due to train faults, and thus also to improve the customer experience. Several of Norske tog's largest projects are delayed compared to the original schedule. ERTMS is a complex project that includes all lines and all trains in Norway. The start depends both on the developed infrastructure, which is Bane NOR's responsibility, and the modification of vehicles, which is Norske tog's responsibility.

Norske tog has several projects that depend on a number of highly demanded raw materials, such as steel and aluminum, as well as other materials necessary for electronics. Access to raw materials can therefore affect both the economy and delivery time in the projects, and this is a risk Norske tog closely monitors.

Important events

The first half of the year has been characterized by a high level of activity in the company, with a particular focus on the acquisition of new local- and long-distance trains, as well as several other ongoing management projects.

Production of New Coradia Nordic Trains Initiated

Norske tog has entered into a contract with Alstom SA for the purchase of 36 new local trains and 19 new regional trains – Coradia Nordic – which will replace old and outdated trains in Eastern Norway. The agreement includes the option to trigger deliveries of a total of 200 new trains. The new trains went into production in the fourth quarter of 2023. The first part of the order for 30 local trains will replace the type 69 trains, which have exceeded their technical lifespan and no longer meet the passengers' requirements for, among other things, air conditioning, network coverage, and universal design. The first trains will be put into service on the L1 Spikkestad - Lillestrøm line. The second part of the delivery consists of 6 local trains and 19 regional trains, which are also planned to be used in Eastern Norway.

The new local and regional trains have been delayed. According to the updated plan, the first local train will be ready for service in 2026. The delay is due to challenges Alstom has with its subcontractors, as well as challenges in the production itself.

Work on Norway's New Long-Distance Trains Continues

Several of today's long-distance trains are over 40 years old and have reached the end of their lifespan. Therefore, in 2023, Norske tog entered into an agreement with Stadler for the purchase of 17 new long-distance trains, with an option to acquire up to 100 new trains in total. The new longdistance trains – FLIRT Nordic Express – are further developed from Stadler's best-selling train model FLIRT (Fast Light Innovative Regional Train) and are specially adapted to Norwegian conditions.

The new long-distance trains will operate on the Bergen Line, the Sørland Line, the Dovre Line, and the Nordland Line. The trains on the Bergen Line will be replaced first. Both electrified and bi-modal trains are being purchased. According to the updated plan, the first new long-distance train will be ready for service in 2028.

Future prospects

A review of the first half of the year shows that the trend of high activity levels continues in 2025. The two procurement processes for new local- and long-distance trains are central to Norske tog's work, while the installation of ERTMS on the train sets is in full swing. These projects will characterize the rest of the year, with further work on the long-distance trains and testing of the local trains in Norway.

Parallel to this, work continues to improve access to systems and updated maintenance data for operators, maintenance providers, and Bane NOR.

Better data access will facilitate more holistic and efficient maintenance processes across organizations and systems, and help ensure that the trains maintain their lifespan as long as possible.

Norske tog is also continuing the implementation of condition-based maintenance (CBM) to ensure better and more efficient maintenance, as well as reduce maintenance costs in the long term.

Events after the balance sheet date

Norske tog terminated the contract for the mid-life upgrade of type 72 with Alstom Transport AB on July 11. Work is ongoing to define the future of the trains.

Conclusion

The half-year report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

In the best judgment of the Board of Directors and the CEO, the report reflects significant transactions carried out with related parties during the current period and the most central risk factors the company faces in the coming period.

In the best judgment of the Board of Directors and the CEO, the financial statements for the first half of 2025 have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards, and the information in the financial statements provides a true picture of the company's assets, liabilities, and financial position and results as a whole at the end of the period, as well as a fair overview of important events in the reporting period and their impact on the financial statements. The financial statements for the first half of 2025 have not been audited by the company's auditor.
