Cautionary note

Certain statements included in this announcement contain forward-looking information, including, without limitation, information relating to (a) forecasts, projections and estimates, (b) statements of Hydro management concerning plans, objectives and strategies, such as planned expansions, investments, divestments, curtailments or other projects, (c) targeted production volumes and costs, capacities or rates, start-up costs, cost reductions and profit objectives, (d) various expectations about future developments in Hydro's markets, particularly prices, supply and demand and competition, (e) results of operations, (f) margins, (g) growth rates, (h) risk management, and (i) qualified statements such as "expected", "scheduled", "targeted", "planned", "proposed", "intended" or similar.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, these forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions and forecasts that, by their nature, involve risk and uncertainty. Various factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in a forward-looking statement or affect the extent to which a particular projection is realized. Factors that could cause these differences include, but are not limited to: our continued ability to reposition and restructure our upstream and downstream businesses; changes in availability and cost of energy and raw materials; global supply and demand for aluminium and aluminium products; world economic growth, including rates of inflation and industrial production; changes in the relative value of currencies and the value of commodity contracts; trends in Hydro's key markets and competition; and legislative, regulatory and political factors.

No assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Hydro disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Performance and capital discipline supporting strong results

1) Total Recordable Injuries includes own employees and contractors

2) High Risk Incidents included own employees and contractors

3) 12 months rolling average

Q2 2025 highlights Adjusted EBITDA NOK 7.8 billion

Free cash flow NOK 5 billion, adjusted RoaCE1) 12%

Strong results amid uncertain markets

Reducing 2025 capital expenditure target by NOK 1.5 billion, to NOK 13.5 billion

Introducing external hiring freeze and structured review of white collar workforce

Robust power sourcing portfolio amid challenging wind and solar markets

Improvement programs ahead of target for 2025

Increased uncertainty and unpredictability

Geopolitics and conflicts

Addressing market uncertainty with decisive measures

  • Current market and regulatory uncertainty challenges demand forecasting, capacity planning, and long-term investment strategy
  • Reducing 2025 capex guiding by NOK 1.5 billion
  • Investments will focus on flexibility, risk management, and adapting to economic and policy changes

NOK billion

Reducing CAPEX guidance for 2025 External hiring freeze and structured review

  • Current market and regulatory uncertainty make it even more crucial to secure a strong cost position for the future
  • Two steps taken:
  • 1. Introducing a temporary external hiring freeze for white collar positions in Group, Business Areas, and GBS, to strengthen resilience and efficiency in response to global challenges
  • 2. Launching a review of white collar workforce to align with strategic priorities, improve efficiency and assess future needs
  • Process will be conducted with transparency and in collaboration with employee representatives

Robust sourcing portfolio amid challenging wind and solar markets

Termination of Nordic power purchase agreement

  • Undelivered volumes from Swedish Cloud Snurran AB since November 2024
  • On July 17, Hydro agreed to a voluntary termination on the PPA in July 2025 – entitling Hydro to up to EUR 90 million in compensation for the non-delivered volumes and future power deliveries
  • The sourcing situation for the Norwegian smelters through 2030 remains robust. Hydro is actively pursuing sourcing options for further cost competitive renewable power

Impairments from updating return requirements in Brazil

  • Updating return requirements for Brazilian energy assets amid capped energy deliveries and heightened regulatory uncertainty
  • About NOK 400 million in impairments in Brazilian energy assets, owned through Hydro Rein, B&A and Aluminium Metal – taken in Q2
  • Power deliveries to Albras, Alunorte and Paragominas continue in accordance with PPAs
