4 Quarterly review Financial statements Quarterly review | Letter from the CEO

CEO, Founder and major shareholder, Bjørn Tore Larsen

A year ago, we set a new course for Norse Atlantic based on a data-driven commercial strategy, a plan to realize operational efficiencies and a transition to a dual ACMI and own network model with reduced risk, more stable revenues and high-grading of the routes we fly.

Since then, we have delivered four consecutive quarters with load factors above 90%, record passenger volumes and improved financial performance.

Nevertheless, we still have challenges to address and room to improve amid tough competition on core Transatlantic routes, negative operational events and cost inflation affecting across the airline industry.

Our fleet of 12 modern, efficient Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners form a strong base for delivering those improvements as Norse Atlantic transitions to the dual strategy model with ACMI charters reducing market risk and complementing own scheduled network.

We are progressing to plan with five aircraft delivered to IndiGo at end-November, with the final one set for transfer in early 2026. Then, we will have a balanced portfolio with six aircraft on ACMI charters and six in own scheduled network. The predictable ACMI revenue and cash flow will strengthen our strategic and financial position as we optimize our own network, flying routes with maximum passenger and fare potential.

This is already reflected in our winter program, where we increase the number of routes from Europe to Asia and Africa to tap into seasonally stronger demand. Our operations are further complemented by charter flights for P&O Cruises, transporting cruise passengers from the UK to the Caribbean from November through to March.

Next summer, we have a focused program between Europe and the U.S., based on routes with proven strong demand and higher ticket prices. We also look forward flying football fans to and from 2026 FIFA World Cup.

We are now fully focused on implementing our dual strategy business model in line with our ambition of delivering material cash flow and long-term value creation for our shareholders.

Sincerely,

Bjørn Tore Larsen, CEO and Founder

Operational performance

In the third quarter of 2025, Norse achieved a load factor of 95%. This was the fourth consecutive quarter with the load factor exceeding 90%. The 9-percentage point increase from the same quarter of 2024 reflects the data-driven commercial strategy implemented last year.

Revenue per passenger was USD 395, compared to USD 406 last year. The reduction reflects lower ancillary revenue due to repackaging of airfare bundles and general pricing pressure experienced in the trans-Atlantic market during the quarter.

The number of passengers carried in the quarter increased 11% year-over-year, driven by the improved load factor and a 10% increase in ASK. Operational performance was strong, with 99.2% of the planned flights completed.

With the second aircraft delivered to Indigo in September, ACMI/ charter activity increased during the quarter, complementing operations in the own scheduled network. A further four aircraft are scheduled to commence operations for Indigo on a staggered basis during the fourth quarter of 2025 through to early 2026. This follows the signing of ACMI contracts for a total of six aircraft to Indigo earlier this year.

Statement of comprehensive income/profit/loss

Total revenue was USD 249.8 million (USD 222.0 million) in the third quarter of 2025, comprising USD 210.5 million of passenger revenue (USD 207.3 million) and USD 39.3 million of other revenue (USD 14.7 million).

Airfare revenue was USD 172.4 million (USD 164.6 million), while ancillary passenger revenue amounted to USD 38.1 million (USD 42.8 million).

Other revenue in third quarter included USD 20.1 million received from insurance claims (nil, same quarter last year), in addition to charter and ACMI income of USD 10.0 million (USD 2.8 million), cargo revenue of USD 8.2 million (USD 7.4 million) and revenue from other services of USD 0.8 million (USD 1.4 million).

The insurance claim proceeds relate to major overhaul of two aircraft engines due to damage during on-ground testing.

Operating expenses excluding depreciation, amortization, and aircraft leases during the period totalled USD 228.4 million (USD 195.3 million), including USD 20.1 million of operating expenses reimbursed by insurance claim proceeds. The operating expenses also included around USD 9 million of non-recurring

1 Q1 2025 includes USD 28.7m in one-time gain from lease modification

items related to operational incidents and backdated airborne personnel salaries.

Personnel expenses were higher due to increase in wages and allowances paid to airborne personnel following CBA negotiations, as well as a 12% increase in the number of airborne employees.

Personnel expenses also included USD 1.6 million of CBA-related back-dated pay for the first nine months of 2025 and approximately USD 2 million related to training for the IndiGo ACMI charters. These non-recurring costs were fully expensed in the quarter.

Airport charges, handling and other flight-related costs were up year-over-year, reflecting higher activity levels, but declined on a per-unit basis due to improved operational efficiency.

Technical maintenance costs include around USD 25 million in extra ordinary costs during the quarter, of which USD 20 million were reimbursed by insurance claims.

A continued focus on reducing overhead expenses resulted in a 47% reduction of marketing and distribution costs, as well as a 23% reduction in general and administrative expenses.

Foreign exchange movements negatively impacted personnel expenses by approximately 10% and other operating expenses by approximately 4%, driven by a weaker USD relative to key operating cost currencies, including GBP, NOK, and EUR.

Depreciation and amortization of the aircraft right-to-use-assets decreased year-over-year following the re-delivery of three leased aircraft during the first quarter.

Net financial expenses were USD 10.5 million (USD 10.8 million), mainly consisting of interest on lease liabilities.

The net loss after tax was USD 7.8 million (USD 6.3 million).

Included in the income statement are non-cash lease accounting costs of USD 2.6 million (USD 4.1 million).

Financial position/Balance sheet

At 30 September 2025, the carrying value of right-of-use assets was USD 713.8 million (USD 836.6 million), whereas the corresponding lease liabilities were at USD 794.9 million (USD 924.8 million). Other non-current liabilities included interest-bearing debt of USD 34.9 million (nil, same quarter end last year) following the issue of convertible bonds in the quarter and a reclassification of shareholder loans. Aircraft maintenance provisions were USD 72.6 million (USD 68.7 million).

Current assets were USD 151.8 million at period-end (USD 180.9 million). Current liabilities were USD 338.0 million (USD 341.2 million), including interest-bearing debt of USD 13.9 million (USD 21.3 million).

The book equity at 30 September 2025 was negative USD 237.9 million (negative by USD 184.5 million).

Cash flow

Free cash and cash equivalents decreased by USD 0.5 million (increase of USD 2.7 million) during the quarter. Cash inflow from operations was USD 7.7 million (USD 32.0 million), cash outflow to investments was USD 5.7 million (USD 4.0 million) and net cash outflow to financing activities was USD 2.5 million (USD 25.6 million).

Cash flow from operations was negatively impacted by working capital movements due to high seasonal activity levels, as well as part of the insurance claim proceeds remaining outstanding at the end of the quarter.

Cash inflow from financing activities included USD 27.4 million net proceeds from the issue of USD 30 million 8.5% convertible bonds, maturing in September 2027 and USD 13.9 million from the bank overdraft facility. The proceeds from convertible bonds were partly used to settle USD 17.2 million of shareholder loans.

Free cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period were USD 11.7 million (USD 12.1 million), while the total cash was USD 25.5 million (USD 25.3 million), including USD 13.8 million in restricted cash (USD 13.2 million). The Company has a USD 20 million bank overdraft facility, of which USD 13.9 million was drawn and the remaining USD 6.1 million was available as at 30 September 2025.

Subsequent events

On 27 October 2025, Norse Atlantic completed a NOK 113.7 million private placement towards selected strategic investors, further widening the international shareholder base, as well as the Company's two largest shareholders, B T Larsen & Co and Songa Capital AS. The subscription price was set at market price of NOK 7.6938 per share, equal to the volume weighted average price over the three last trading days prior to the private placement. As a result, the Company issued 14,780,242 new shares with gross proceeds equivalent to approximately USD 11 million. The total number of shares issued and outstanding is 162,582,658 with a nominal value per share of NOK 0.50.

Outlook and strategy

Norse has a uniform fleet of 12 commercially flexible and costefficient Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners on attractive lease terms ranging from 7 to 12 years, with an average duration of 10 years. The lease agreements are highly favorable compared to current market rates for equivalent aircraft and have no price or inflationary adjustments, providing Norse with a significant longterm cost advantage.

The Company is successfully implementing its business plan aimed at reducing the overall business risk through an increased share of fixed revenue from long-term ACMI and charter contracts. At 30 September 2025, two aircraft had commenced operations for Indigo under a long-term ACMI contract and three more have been delivered in October and November. The last aircraft is planned to be delivered to Indigo during early 2026. The Company will also operate flights under a charter agreement with P&O Cruises during the 2025/26 and 2026/27 winter seasons.

As capacity shifts into the ACMI segment, the Company will continue to high-grade its own network, focusing on proven and profitable routes. The data-driven commercial strategy, introduced late last year, will be continuously refined to optimize load factor and pricing. Initial booking data confirm the potential from network high grading with improved load factor and increased ticket prices for the "Winter Sun" program flights between Europe and Asia and South Africa in the October 2025 to April 2026 period.

Crew bases and crew resource utilization will be further optimized as part of the continuous work to deliver the lowest cost per unit in the Transatlantic market. Norse is well underway to reduce corporate overhead and marketing costs significantly. Overall, cost reductions and efficiency gains are expected to reach approximately USD 40 million on an annual basis from 2026.

Norse Atlantic is currently in a transitional phase with the handover of the remaining aircraft to IndiGo impacting uptime and production. Follow-on effects of the engine damage during maintenance have reduced fleet uptime into the fourth quarter.

Norse has a clear strategy to build a successful and profitable long-haul airline providing affordable travel and a great end-user product. The support from new investors in the past few months has strengthened the financial platform to deliver on that strategy.

The Company started 2025 with the ambition of delivering full year profitability subject to stable customer demand. The softer Transatlantic demand in the second half and non-recurring operational expenses mean this ambition will not be realized.

Early next year, the transition to the dual strategy business model will be completed. The ACMI and charter contracts offer stability, profitability and payment terms that positively impact working capital. Furthermore, a focused and high-graded own network is expected to provide the foundation for long-term profitable operations, strong cash generation and shareholder value creation.

Organization

On 30 September 2025, the Company had 1,321 employees (1,191), comprising 1,071 airborne crew and 250 engineers, aircraft maintenance personnel and office-based employees.

The Corporate Headquarters is in Arendal, with the Operational Headquarters in Riga. Other offices are located in Oslo Gardermoen, London Gatwick, Fort Lauderdale, and Paris.

Risks

The Company is exposed to risks that are associated with newly established enterprises, as well as to risks related to the airline industry. Routes, network and markets have a maturity period, and the airline market is very competitive. As such, the Company may be subject to aggressive and targeted pricing strategies from competitors on the routes it operates, thereby making it more difficult to establish itself and a customer base.

The Company is vulnerable to small changes in demand or sales prices due to a significant share of fixed costs which cannot be scaled against other factors, such as number of tickets sold, number of passengers or flights flown. Airlines are exposed to the risk of significant loss from aviation accidents involving operations, including crashes and other disasters. Further, airlines are often affected by factors beyond their control, including pandemics, technical problems, adverse weather conditions or other natural or man-made events.

The development of the airline industry has historically been correlated to macroeconomic developments, making the industry sensitive to general business conditions, economic growth and private consumption trends. Future demand for air travel is subject to seasonal variations and can also be significantly impacted by macroeconomic factors, such as high inflation, that could have a negative impact on customers' spending behaviour. Airline fares, freight rates and passenger demand have fluctuated significantly in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the

future. A negative development in macroeconomic conditions may have a negative adverse effect on the demand for air travel and air freight services and result in loss of revenue and additional costs for the Company, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial conditions, results of operations and future prospects.

The commercial airline industry has historically been subject to seasonal variations where demand is relatively high between May and October and relatively low between November and April. If Norse is not able to predict variations in demand correctly, and plan its operations accordingly, the Company's flights may become subject to over or under capacity, which in turn may negatively affect its business, financial condition, income or operating result. As the Company enters into long-term wet lease/ ACMI contracts, the Company's overall exposure to the risk of both seasonality and general demand is reduced. ACMI secures fixed revenue year-round and hence eliminates some of the seasonality exposure. For capacity allocated to ACMI, variable revenue is replaced with fixed revenue establishing a floor downwards but still allowing for upward potential during periods of higher capacity utilization.

Significant risk factors Norse is exposed to include, but are not limited to, exposure to global macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, airport slot constraints, interruption in IT systems, aviation incidents, changes in taxes, changes in credit card settlement terms, environmental factors, degree of commercial success expressed through achieved load factors and fares, and the future development in jet fuel prices. Operating technically highly

advanced aircraft without any unplanned disruptions also implies operations being dependant on timely access to applicable spare parts and the services of a concentrated base of key suppliers and business partners in relation to aircraft maintenance.

Norse is exposed to liquidity risk. Should sales volumes decrease, jet fuel prices increase, or other operational expenses increase, this would impose an increased liquidity risk. Key to the Company's exposure to liquidity risk is also the timing of when Norse receives payment from credit card companies for tickets sold. Hold-back from the credit card companies is structured across a combination of thresholds of hold-back amounts and number of hold-back days varying with season. Any increase in hold-back amounts or extensions of hold-back days will have an adverse effect on the Company's cash flow and liquidity position, potentially effecting its ability to manage its financial obligations. Going concern is described in more detail in the notes to the interim consolidated financial statements (refer to Note 2).

Currently, Norse have no fuel hedging arrangements in place and is fully exposed to jet fuel price fluctuations. Increase in jet fuel prices and any significant and prolonged adverse movements in currency exchange rates could impact the Company's earnings. The high tension in the Middle East may lead to scenarios under which there could be adverse negative effects to the fuel prices. The long-term ACMI contracts entered into will reduce the overall exposure to fuel price fluctuations, as the jet fuel cost under ACMI contracts is at the expense of the customer.

Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements

Note 1 General information

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Norse Atlantic ASA ("Norse", "Norse Atlantic Airways" or the "Company") were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors passed on 25 November 2025.

Norse Atlantic Airways is a public limited company listed on the Euronext Expand at Oslo Stock Exchange. The Company was incorporated on 1 February 2021 under the laws of Norway and its registered office is at Fløyveien 14, 4838 Arendal, Norway. The Company has wholly owned subsidiaries in Norway, the UK, the US, Latvia, Greece and Cyprus.

Norse is a new affordable long-haul airline established in 2021 that serves the transatlantic market with modern, fuel-efficient Boeing 787 Dreamliner's. Norse commenced its commercial operations on 14 June 2022 and currently serves the destinations New York, Miami, Orlando, Los Angeles, Cape Town, Berlin, London, Paris, Rome, Athens, Bangkok, Phuket, Manchester, Stockholm and Oslo.

Note 2 Basis of preparation

2.1 General

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union (the "EU") and additional requirements in the Norwegian Securities Trading Act. They do not include all the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024 as published and available at the Company's website www.flynorse.com. In these interim consolidated financial statements, the third quarter (Q3) is the period starting on 1 July and ending on 30 September. The period 2024 is defined as the reporting period from 1 January to 31 December. For this interim period the Company presents the third quarter of 2024 as a period of comparable information, and the Company's commentary on the financial development refers to that same quarter. All amounts are presented in USD thousands unless otherwise stated. These interim financial statements are unaudited.

2.2 Going concern

Management and the Board of Directors take account of and consider all available information when evaluating the application of the going concern assumption. For this interim report, the going concern assumption has been evaluated for a period of 12 months following the end of the reporting period. The going concern assumption of the Company is subject to uncertainty.

Being an airline in its build-up phase, the Company has incurred losses over the first periods of operation, and as at 30 September 2025 the reported equity is negative USD 237.9 million.

The Company's total cash balance as at 30 September 2025 is USD 25.5 million. In addition to this, the Company since 16 June 2025 holds additional credit lines in the form of an overdraft facility from its bank for an amount up to USD 20 million, of which USD 6.1 million was undrawn as at 30 September 2025.

For Norse's equity situation, the existence of value in the off-balance sheet assets, particularly related to the significant fair value of the aircraft lease contracts, and more, imply that the real equity could be higher than the book equity.

The Company has been through a process of shaping a strategic reorientation for the Company. The outcome of such process is a revised business plan implying the Company allocating a significant portion of its capacity towards longer-term ACMI services, whereas the Company has secured new contracts supporting the execution of such business plan. The plan implies a more modest capacity allocated to operation of routes within own scheduled network, in turn allowing for the Company focusing on its most profitable routes. The revised business plan implies generation of year-round fixed revenue and cash flows, and a de-risking of the business model.

Based on the major contracts entered into, as well as the Company's overall plans and ambitions, Norse has prepared financial forecasts that over time show a positive development both in the group's financial results, financial position in terms of equity and in cash position. Forecasts are subject to risks and uncertainties. Some significant risk factors include, but are not limited to, commercial success expressed through achieved load factors and fares, as well as the future development in jet fuel prices. The demand for air travel is subject to seasonal variations and can also be significantly impacted by macroeconomic factors, such as high inflation, that could have a negative impact on customers' spending behaviour.

Airline fares, freight rates and passenger demand have fluctuated significantly in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the future.

Specifically, the Company also is in a position of owing an amount of approximately USD 14 million of historic and overdue passenger taxes to the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS), whereas current tax payments are serviced as they fall due. The US IRS has mechanisms of downpayment of such overdue taxes, under which individual agreements must be entered into. The Company already has started paying down overdue taxes and has proactively entered into a dialogue with the US IRS aiming at establishing a formal plan of downpayment.

There are several uncertainties affecting the financial position of the Company. This includes but is not limited to factors such as the commercial success of the Company during the winter season, the future development in jet fuel prices, the applied holdback mechanisms of credit card acquirers, the outcome of a downpayment plan to be established with the US IRS for the overdue US passenger taxes, as well as general operational risks. On the other hand, there is upside potential on the commercial and financial performance of the Company's own scheduled network, whereas pre-sales on routes out for sale is trending well above the pre-sales realized at the same time the previous year.

The Board of Directors is of the opinion that, in line with the Company's business plan, there is a feasible plan for the Company to generate profits. In the Board of Directors' opinion, the going concern assumption is present and applies as basis for the Company's financial statements, but under the conditions present, the going concern assumption is subject to uncertainty. In the event that the going concern assumption does not serve as basis for the Company's financial statements, depending on the specific circumstances, some assets of the Company may carry values lower than the values at which they are presented in these financial statements.

Note 3 Accounting policies

The accounting policies applied by the Company in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, unless otherwise stated below. Refer to Note 2 Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies in the 2024 Annual Report for information on the Company's accounting policies.

3.1 Convertible bonds

Convertible bonds are separated into a debt liability and an equity component based on the terms of the contract. On issuance of the convertible bonds, the fair value of the debt liability excluding conversion option is measured at the fair value of expected cash flows at inception and is recorded under non-current liabilities in the balance sheet. The debt liability component is amortized to the redemption value over the bond life, accruing interest at the effective rate. The rest of the convertible bond issue proceeds are recorded as equity.

Transaction costs are apportioned between the debt liability and equity components of the convertible bonds based on the allocation of the proceeds of the debt liability and equity components when the instruments are initially recognized.

Note 4 Segment reporting and revenues

The Company's chief operating decision maker currently reviews the Company's activities on a consolidated basis as one operating segment.

Airfare passenger revenue comprises only ticket revenue, while ancillary passenger revenue consists of other passenger related revenue than ticket revenue. Lease income is revenue from subleasing of aircrafts. Charter and ACMI revenue comprises of revenue from operating flights on behalf of third-party customers, both for ad hoc flights and for series of flights over a longer term. Other revenue consists of proceeds from insurance claims and revenue from maintenance services provided the Company's technical personnel to third parties.

Other revenue in Q3 2025 includes insurance claim proceeds of USD 20.1 million (nil, same quarter previous year) that is fully offset by equal amount of aircraft engine repair costs included under the technical maintenance expenses in the interim consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Note 5 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements requires management and the board to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amount of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities, as well as the accompanying disclosures. Uncertainty about these estimates, judgements and assumptions could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future periods.

The key estimates, judgements and assumptions used by the management in preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements were the same as those applied in preparation of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
