The figures represent the consolidated financials for the Group consisting of North Energy ASA and the subsidiaries North Industries 1 AS and North Industries 2 AS.
North Energy recorded a comprehensive loss of NOK 15.9 million (NOK 37.1 million income in the third quarter of 2024). The decrease from last year is mainly driven by a drop in the valuation of the financial portfolio.
Operating expenses this quarter were reported at NOK 5.7 million (NOK 8.2 million). Payroll and related expenses in the third quarter were NOK 4.5 million (NOK 3.3 million), while other operating expenses were NOK 0.8 million (NOK 4.5 million). Last year figure was impacted by the settlement of a claim with the Norwegian tax authorities regarding VAT.
Changes in the fair value of financial investments amounted to NOK -13.3 million (NOK 27.7 million), with the reduction explained by more unfavorable capital markets this year compared to the same period last year.
Net results from investments in associates were NOK 3.0 million (NOK 16.3 million). North Energy's share of the net results from Reach was NOK 6.3 million (NOK 17.4 million). The share of results from WCS was NOK -3.3 million (NOK -1.1 million).
Net financial items were NOK 0.2 million (NOK 1.2 million), with the decrease stemming from less financial income.
Total assets at the end of the quarter were NOK 423.3 million (NOK 365.5 million at the end of third quarter 2024). The increase is mainly explained by an increase in cash of NOK 81.8 million, partly offset by a decrease in the book value of associated companies of NOK 9.7 million, and a decrease in financial investment of NOK 10.3 million.
The investment in Reach Subsea is accounted for as an associated company with a book value of NOK 210.9 million (NOK 212.3 million). The year-over-year decrease in book value is driven by North Energy's share of comprehensive income of NOK 29.7 million, offset by loss on deemed disposal of NOK 9.8 million and dividend received of NOK 21.3 million.
The investment in Wind Catching Systems is accounted for as an associated company as well with a book value of NOK 10.7 million (NOK 19.4 million). The reduction in book value is driven by North Energy's share of the comprehensive loss of NOK 8.7 million.
Total equity at the end of the quarter was NOK 332.8 million (NOK 357.9 million), with the decrease explained by total comprehensive loss of NOK 9.1 million, dividend distribution of NOK 17.6 million as well as cancellation of own shares of NOK 1.6 million. The Company's equity ratio stood at 79 percent at the end of the third quarter.
Cash at the end of the quarter was NOK 104.4 million (NOK 22.5 million). The increase in cash is due to realization of most of the financial investments during the last year combined with the use of the credit facility for new investments made during the year. The credit facility was utilized with NOK 80.4 million at the end of the quarter (NOK 0.0 million), hence the net cash position was NOK 23.9 million. Available liquidity was NOK 123.9 million, which includes unutilized credit facility of NOK 19.6 million.
The Board regards the Company's financial position as solid.
At the end of the quarter, the total market value of our investments amounted to NOK 552.2 million (NOK 569.3 million). Among the industrial holdings, the value of our shareholding in Reach Subsea has decreased by NOK 7.1 million to NOK 389.4 million, while the value of our shareholding in Wind Catching Systems is constant at NOK 68.7 million. The value of our financial investments of NOK 88.9 million (99.3
million) has been reduced as, during the last 12 months, we realized our investments in Touchstone Exploration, Thor Medical, and Heimstaden bonds. Main financial investments at the end of third quarter 2025 are Fugro N.V. shares of NOK 42.6 million, Petrofac Ltd. bonds of NOK 37.6 million, and Interoil Exploration bonds of NOK 8.6 million.

Including cash of NOK 104.4 million (NOK 22.5 million) and net other assets and liabilities of NOK -87.4 million (NOK -0.5 million), the net asset value for the company was NOK 569.1 million (NOK 591.3 million). Adjusted for dividends paid NOK 17.6 million, the net asset value decreased by 0.8% during the last 12-month period.

The net asset value per share was NOK 4.85 while the share price at the end of the quarter was NOK 2.91, representing a discount of 40% compared to the net asset value per share.

The main industrial investment is the shareholding in Reach Subsea ASA where North Energy has two representatives on the Board of Directors. The investment is held by the subsidiary North Industries 1 AS. The ownership interest in Reach Subsea ASA at the end of the third quarter is 15.5% and the investment is reported as an associated company.
The Group expects to continue as a major shareholder in Reach Subsea ASA and further develop the company as a leading subsea service provider, offering solutions to gather and deliver subsea data and solutions for maintaining the integrity of the client's subsurface equipment and infrastructure.
For the third quarter Reach reported an EBIT of NOK 50.6 million (NOK 134.1 million). The decline from last year is driven by two factors. 1) Lower utilization in general as market uncertainty has led clients to scrutinize procurement and partly push work scopes to 2026. 2) Extraordinary expenses incurred in implementing full commercial operations for Reach Remote.
During the quarter Reach successfully placed its inaugural bond issue, thereby opening access to another capital source and boosting liquidity by NOK 500 million. Furthermore, the scale-up plan for Reach Remote was executed upon through the order of Reach Remote 3 and 4 from Kongsberg, with delivery planned for 2027.
Reach believes that long-term demand for its services remains robust across all segments, however, lower energy prices and offshore wind development headwinds are impacting demand in the short term. Going forward the company highlights that focus will be on:
The company is well positioned for the future, with key strategic capabilities in place, a solid plan in place for reshaping the delivery model, and is a market leader on delivering advanced subsea services from a proven unmanned concept.
The company is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange and as of the end of the third quarter, the company had a market capitalization of NOK 2 508 million.
The second industrial investment is the shareholding in Wind Catching Systems AS where North Energy has one member and one observer on the Board of Directors. The investment is held by the subsidiary North Industries 2 AS. The ownership interest in Wind Catching Systems at the end of the third quarter is 22.0% and the investment is reported as an associated company.
Wind Catching Systems (WCS) holds a new innovative technology for floating offshore wind systems ("WCS technology"). The WCS units are designed for all weather conditions, with the potential to produce electricity at a significantly lower cost and with substantially less use of space than any other known technology today. WCS works with well-known suppliers like e.g. Aibel to develop and commercialize the WCS technology.
WCS is progressing the work on the demonstrator project and has several ongoing dialogues with potential suppliers. In October, the company held a supplier's day in Øygarden to meet with local suppliers for the project. The company is still waiting for the "The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate" (NVE) to issue the final EIA program. When the EIA programme is received, work will start on the finalizing and submittal of the license application.
On the technical side the Company is preparing a testing programme for 2026, with plans for both a scaled down onshore multi-rotor test and a coupled model test in a test tank.
North Energy currently hold USD 18.8 million of nominal amount in Petrofac Limited senior secured bonds purchased at an average cash price of less than 15%.
As announced in late October, TenneT terminated its scope of work on the 2GW programme with immediate effect and therefore the restructuring plan was no longer viable. Subsequently it was announced that the Directors of Petrofac have applied to the High Court of England and Wales to appoint administrators to Petrofac Limited, the Group's ultimate parent company. The operating subsidiaries of the Petrofac group continues normal trading. North Energy is currently awaiting the outcome of the process while Petrofac is exploring options realize proceeds for major creditors. As a senior secured bondholder, North Energy still expects to realize values in excess of our historical cost, however the timing and outcome is subject to significant uncertainty.
During the third quarter, the Company has increased the investment in shares in Fugro N.V, ("Fugro") the world's leading geo-data specialist. The company is listed on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange with a market capitalization of approximately EUR 1.0 billion.
In 2025 the financial performance of Fugro has been strongly affected by weak markets as well as significant deferrals and postponements of projects, both in the offshore wind as well as the oil & gas sector. The company withdrew its financial guidance for FY 2025 at the end September as the market continues to be affected by a high degree of uncertainty. Fugro has reduced capex expectations for 2026 and initiated a cost reduction programme with a target of reducing manpower with an equivalent to 1 050 full time employees. As of Q3 2005 the financial investments have a total market value of NOK 88.9 million where the main investments are Fugro N.V. (NOK 42.6 million), Petrofac Ltd (37.6 million), and Interoil Exploration (NOK 8.6 million).
The third quarter of 2025 delivered another eventful period for global markets. After reaching new highs in June, equity markets experienced brief pullbacks over the summer, driven by mixed economic data and ongoing geopolitical developments. However, confidence returned in September as inflation continued to ease, and major central banks signaled a more supportive policy outlook.
A key theme this quarter was the shift toward lower interest rates. With inflation moving closer to target, several central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve cut rates again, helping stabilize investor sentiment after the turbulence earlier in the year. While global trade negotiations and geopolitical tensions remain areas to watch, markets reacted positively to the growing clarity around monetary policy.
The oil services industry has been affected by lower oil prices as OPEC continues to reintroduce volumes into the market, leading to increased uncertainty regarding the short-term price outlook. Client activity has been moderating throughout the year as a result of this, both with regards to capex and opex. The offshore wind market continues to be in the doldrums as project operators are still struggling to deliver new projects at the right economics. We expect both these areas to normalise within 1-2 years as the longer-term outlook for energy demand is still strong.
One topic that continues to shape the global investment landscape is energy demand. Despite renewed efforts to accelerate the shift to cleaner energy sources, the transition remains complex and gradual. In the meantime, global energy consumption keeps rising.
A major driver of long-term energy demand is the rapid growth of data centers, which power cloud computing, AI and digital services. Forecasts indicate that datacenter energy usage could grow by 18–22% per year for the next several years as AI adoption accelerates across industries. Looking further ahead, the rise of autonomous vehicles, advanced robotics and AIenabled industrial automation is likely to push energy needs even higher.
Meeting this demand will require a mix of traditional energy, renewable power, nuclear and new technologies to strengthen grid capacity and efficiency. For investors, this continues to create long-term opportunities across the energy value chain, from generation and infrastructure to innovation in energy storage and efficiency solutions.
North Energy continues to develop the company in accordance with our long-term strategy as an industrial investment company. As such, we are continuously evaluating new opportunities to expand our industrial portfolio. Regardless, we will take a disciplined and opportunistic approach and will pursue investments only to the extent that they meet our long-term investment return objectives.

North Energy ASA's shares were listed on Oslo Axess (now Euronext Expand), an exchange regulated by the Euronext Stock Exchange, on 5 February 2010. The company's ticker is NORTH.
The interim accounts were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the supplementary requirements in the Norwegian Securities Trading Act (Verdipapirhandelloven). The interim accounts do not include all the information required in the annual accounts and should therefore be read in conjunction with the annual accounts for 2024.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim accounts are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the annual accounts for 2024. New standards, amendments, and interpretations to existing standards effective from 1 January 2025 did not have any significant impact on the financial statements.
The preparation of the interim accounts entails the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the amounts recognised as assets and liabilities, income, and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. The actual results may deviate from these estimates. The material assessments underlying the application of the company's accounting policies and the main sources of uncertainty are the same for the interim accounts as for the annual accounts for 2024.

* The gain or loss on dilution of ownership is an accounting effect triggered by private placements and the issuing of consideration shares resulting in increased equity in the associated companies. North Energy has in some private placements participated with a lower share than the original ownership and not participated in other private placements, hence North Energy's ownership percentage has been reduced while the value of the investment has increased or decreased. Gain or loss on the deemed disposals arises because the amount per share subscribed to by the third party was different compared to North Energy's carrying value per share prior to the event. The dilution of ownership in Reach Subsea took place on 4 December 2024 and 9 March 2025.

The Synthetic Shares do not give the participant rights in the Company as a shareholder, but a right to sell the Synthetic Shares back to the Company after a vesting period of 3 years, where consideration for the Synthetic Shares shall reflect the value of the shares in the Company. The synthetic shares will vest in full 3 years after being awarded. The purchase price for the synthetic shares was 2.636 and is based on the 5-day volumeweighted average price (VWAP) ending May 20, 2025. The participants were offered to borrow 90% of the purchase price from the Company. The loan will bear interest at an interest rate equivalent to the applicable normal interest rate for the taxation of low-cost loans from an employer (Normrente for beskatning av rimelige lån hos arbeidsgiver) At the end of the third quarter 2025 the Company has accrued NOK 4.3 million in liabilities in relation to the longterm incentive plan.
