Norwegian Group delivers quarterly operating profit (EBIT) of NOK 1,250 million with operating margin of 12.2 percent

The Norwegian Group today reported its results for the second quarter and first half year of 2025. The figures demonstrate the group's ability to increase capacity into the summer travel season and to deliver operational performance that places Norwegian among the top performing airlines in Europe.

For the second quarter of 2025, the group delivered an operating profit (EBIT) of NOK 1,250 million, corresponding to an operating margin of 12.2 percent. Profit before tax (EBT) amounted to NOK 1,055 million for the quarter. The liquidity position increased to NOK 13.8 billion, up NOK 3.3 billion from the previous quarter, and was positively impacted by the completed financing of 10 previously leased aircraft that were acquired in the first quarter. The Norwegian fleet comprised 90 aircraft at quarter-end, of which 28 aircraft were latest technology 737 MAX 8 aircraft. The Widerøe fleet comprised 51 aircraft.

The Norwegian Group had 7.6 million passengers in the quarter, of which 6.5 million were passengers of Norwegian and 1.1 million of Widerøe. Compared to the same period last year, the number of passengers increased by 192,000 and 82,000 for Norwegian and Widerøe, respectively. Production (ASK) for Norwegian increased by 1 percent in the second quarter, while Widerøe production increased by 3 percent. The quarterly load factor for Norwegian was 85.2 percent, up 2.8 percentage points from the same period last year. For Widerøe, the quarterly load factor was 73.9 percent, an improvement of 3.7 percentage points.

For Norwegian, punctuality measured by share of flights departing on schedule was 86.0 percent in the quarter, an improvement of 5.2 percentage points from last year, while it was 89.3 percent for Widerøe. Regularity was 99.7 percent and 96.7 percent respectively.

In April it was announced that Reitan Retail, a leading retail company in the Nordics and Baltics serving around 2 million customers per day, will become the partner and co-owner of Spenn, the joint platform for loyalty programmes.

Norwegian rolled out its new distribution platform, a new customer interface, in its largest customer markets during the second quarter. The platform improves distribution capabilities, improves the sales process of ancillary products, in addition to facilitating full interlining with other airlines.

The Norwegian Reward loyalty programme was awarded four awards at the internationally recognised Freddie Awards for frequent flyers, including the 'Program of the Year' category.

In June, Norwegian announced that it had entered into an agreement with CFM International to purchase 11 LEAP-1B spare engines with deliveries scheduled for 2027 and 2028. The transaction is well aligned with Norwegian's long-term fleet strategy, adding operational resilience with improved utilisation.

Capital structure

In May, Norwegian announced that it would exercise its call option to redeem all outstanding convertible perpetual subordinated bonds, totalling NOK 1,501 million, and that the company would launch an offer to repurchase up to 50 percent of these bonds. Following this buy-back offer, Norwegian repurchased NOK 640 million of the bonds. The Board of Directors decided, in accordance with the authorisation from the 2025 AGM, to allocate in full the NOK 0.60 per share dividend for 2024, corresponding to NOK 578 million, to the repurchase of the convertible bonds. Following these transactions, the convertible perpetual subordinated bonds have been redeemed in full.

Norwegian has decided to exercise its defeasance option under the NOK 3,156 million zero-coupon Retained Claims Bonds, relieving the company from certain general covenants, including the restriction on payment of dividends.

Dividend

The Board of Directors has decided to pay a dividend of NOK 0.90 per share dividend, to be paid in August, in accordance with the authorisation from the 2025 AGM. The dividend will primarily be funded from the dividend fund set aside for 2022 and 2023.

Well prepared for the second half of 2025

The Norwegian Group is bringing an increasing number of passengers to attractive holiday destinations this summer. Current booking trend for the summer and the autumn season is robust and encouraging with more tickets sold this year than at the same time last year. Norwegian is progressing well with its profitability initiatives being implemented under Program X, initiatives that are due to deliver recurring underlying profit improvement in excess of NOK 1 billion by the end of 2026.

Customers of Norwegian and Widerøe value the group's operational performance and the attractive and growing route network. The collaboration with Widerøe through the linking of highly complementary route networks, and Spenn, the joint platform for loyalty programmes, will further ensure that the group remains a preferred travel partner throughout the Nordics.

Group financial review

The Norwegian Group ("the group") consists of the parent company Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA ("Norwegian") and Widerøe AS ("Widerøe"), together with affiliated subsidiaries. Following Norwegian's completed acquisition of Widerøe, consolidated financials include Widerøe from 12 January 2024.

The Norwegian Group is experiencing generally positive demand trends across key markets for the busy summer travel season and into the second half of 2025. Demand in the second quarter increased from the same period last year. Load factor and yield for Norwegian increased from last year, in part due to the timing of Easter which in 2024 occurred during the first quarter. The second quarter results are affected by macroeconomic factors, predominantly relating to significant movements in the value of the NOK against the USD and EUR.

EBITDAR for the group was NOK 2,609 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to NOK 1,848 million in the second quarter of 2024. EBITDAR excl. other losses/(gains) was NOK 2,415 million, compared to NOK 1,813 million in the same period last year. Other losses/(gains) amounted to a net gain of NOK 194 million in the quarter and primarily consisted of positive nonrecurring effects related to the balance sheet translation of USD denominated operating liabilities following the strengthening of the NOK against the USD during the quarter.

Operating profit (EBIT) for the group was NOK 1,250 million, compared to NOK 595 million in the same period last year. The group operating margin was 12.2 percent, compared to 6.4 percent in the same period last year.

For the first half year of 2025, cash flow from investing activities amounted to negative NOK 3,241million and was predominantly comprised of the purchase of 10 Boeing 737-800 aircraft that were previously on lease to Norwegian. In the same period last year, cash flow from investing activities amounted to negative NOK 1,561 million and included NOK 1,000 million in net cash outflow related to the acquisition of Widerøe.

Cash flow from financing activities

Cash flow from financing activities in the second quarter of 2025 amounted to positive NOK 389 million and was predominantly comprised of the completed financing of 10 previously leased Boeing 737-800 aircraft purchased in the previous quarter and the buy-back of convertible perpetual subordinated bonds for a total consideration of NOK 900 million. In the same period last year, cash flow from financing activities amounted to negative NOK 1,039 million.

For the first half year of 2024, cash flow from financing activities amounted to negative NOK 288 million, compared to negative NOK 1,865 million in the same period last year.

Risk and uncertainties

The Norwegian Group is exposed to several risk factors such as market risk, operational risk, financial risk, liquidity risk and climate-related risks. Future demand for air travel is dependent on sustained consumer and business confidence in key markets. Demand for air travel is subject to strong seasonal variations. Adverse effects in relation to the onset of pandemics or unforeseen security events may impact the group's operations.

The current macroeconomic environment is uncertain with volatile energy and fuel prices, inflationary pressure, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, the ongoing war in Ukraine, heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, trade tensions between the US and key trading partners, as well as potential impacts of disruptions in the global supply chain. Such factors may have a significant impact on the group's business, price of materials and aircraft, in addition to the group's financial results. The company has reduced its exposure to fluctuations in fuel prices through derivative contracts. Norwegian has hedged approximately 70 percent of estimated jet fuel consumption for the remainder of 2025 and 25 percent for 2026, while Widerøe has hedged approximately 60 percent for the remainder of 2025 and 45 percent for 2026. The group has also reduced its exposure against currency fluctuations with Norwegian having purchased 45 percent of its USD cash flow requirements for the remainder of 2025 and Widerøe having purchased 50 percent for the same period.

In the event of industrial actions, operations may be affected, causing disruptions for customers and affect the company's financial performance.

For additional explanations regarding risks and uncertainties, please refer to the following sections in the company's Annual Report 2024: Financial risk and risk Management section and the going concern section of the Board of Director's report, Note 2: Financial risk and Note 27.: Provision. Note 13 to this interim report includes updates to contingencies and legal claims.

Outlook

Current booking trends and an improved supply-and-demand balance in the European market for air travel support an overall encouraging outlook for the Norwegian Group. Implementation of comprehensive cost and revenue initiatives under Program X will, in addition to the realisation of synergies between Norwegian and Widerøe, support the group's financial performance in 2025 and beyond.

Unit costs are expected to be impacted by reduced growth in production, in addition to industry-specific inflationary pressure. The strengthening of the NOK against the USD has had a positive impact on the unit cost in 2025. Unit cost excluding fuel is for Norwegian in 2025 expected to increase by a low to mid-singledigit percentage compared to 2024, assuming current foreign exchange rates. The year-on-year production growth for the third quarter of 2025 is forecasted at 2 percent. For the full-year of 2025, Norwegian is forecasting an overall production (ASK) of approximately 37,500 million seat kilometres, corresponding to a growth of 3 percent from 2024. This compares to a production growth of 13 percent in the previous year. The reduction in production growth is due to aircraft delivery delays from aircraft manufacturer Boeing with the Norwegian fleet currently at 90 for the summer of 2025, up from 86 aircraft last year. For the current summer program, Norwegian is operating close to 350 routes, of which 17 are new routes to attractive leisure destinations.

With strong brand loyalty, a highly skilled organisation and a solid financial platform, the group is well-positioned to tackle potential short-term fluctuations in demand and to solidify its position as a leading airline group in the Nordics. Widerøe will support the group's customer proposition and outlook through the enabling of seamless travel across an improved route network offering.

Notes to the condensed interim financial statements

Note 1 Accounting principles

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements comprise Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA and its subsidiaries (the company). Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA is a limited liability company incorporated in Norway. The consolidated financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 December 2024 are available at www.norwegian.com.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of Oslo Stock Exchange and International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the company for the year ended 31 December 2024.

The accounting policies applied by the company in these condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied by the company in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Certain amounts have been reclassified in 2025 compared to the classification presented in 2024. The reclassification affects "Airport and ATC Charges", "Technical maintenance expense" and "Other operating expenses" in the Consolidated income statement. The amounts for 2024 have been reclassified to be comparable.

Judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements is in accordance with IFRS and applying the chosen accounting policies require management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical figures and various other factors which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the company's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty, were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2024.

The going concern basis of accounting is adopted in preparing these interim financial statements. Refer to the Risk and Uncertainties section of this Interim Report for further information.

Impairment

The company assesses whether there are any indications that its assets may be impaired at the end of each reporting period. There are no impairment indicators during the reporting period.

Note 2 Risk

Sensitivity Analysis

(unaudited in NOK million) Effect on costs
1% increase in jet fuel price 26
1% increase in USD against NOK 93

The sensitivity analysis for changes in the jet fuel price is based on expected consumption for the 12-month period from quarter-end after cash flow hedging effects. The sensitivity analysis for changes in USD against NOK is based on total operating expenses including interest expense for the 12-month period from quarterend and incorporates jet fuel and currency cash flow hedging effects, but does not include other losses/(gains) which includes balance sheet translation effects of operating liabilities due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Exposure to currencies other than USD is substantially offset through revenues in the same currencies.

Note 3 Revenue

Passenger revenue comprises only ticket revenue, while ancillary passenger revenue is other passenger related revenue such as optional extras. Other revenue primarily relates to revenue from handling services, commission from in-flight sales and revenue

from the loyalty programme 'Norwegian Reward'. Passenger related revenue per country is based on the starting point of customer journeys.

For detailed information on related party transactions, please refer to Note 30 to the consolidated financial statements for 2024. There have been no significant transactions with related parties during the first half of 2025.

Note 5 Segment information

The Executive Management team reviews the company's internal reporting to assess performance and allocate resources. Executive Management has determined the group's operating segments based on these reports.

Executive Management considers the airlines Norwegian and Widerøe as two separate operating segments.

Performance is measured by Executive Management based on the operating segments' earnings before interest, tax, aircraft

lease, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDAR) as well as earnings before interest and tax (EBIT).

The table below includes separate financial information for the group and its two operating segments. Financial information for the group and Widerøe would be approximately the same if Widerøe had been acquired on 1 January 2024.

Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA has in the first quarter of 2025 entered into an agreement to purchase 10 Boeing 737-800 aircraft that previously were on lease to the airline. On completion of the transaction, Norwegian recorded a non-recurring gain of NOK 589 million presented as a reduction in the line "Aircraft lease, depreciation and amortisation". The gain reflects the purchase price the company achieved and the corresponding reduction of existing net lease balances including maintenance accrual on leased aircraft. The new aircraft were recognised at fair value at the acquisition date.

Note 9 Dividend funds

An extraordinary general meeting in December 2023 authorised the Board to distribute dividends of up to NOK 0.25 per share for 2022. In May 2024, the general meeting authorised a dividend of NOK 0.60 per share for 2023. In May 2025, the general meeting authorised a dividend of NOK 0.60 per share for 2024. The Board of Directors decided, in accordance with the authorisation from the 2025 AGM to allocate in full the NOK 0.60 per share dividend for 2024, corresponding to NOK 578 million, to the repurchase of NOK 640 million of convertible perpetual subordinated bonds.

Distribution of dividends for 2022 and 2023 is subject to certain conditions in the company's debt instruments and the company has set aside the amount and invested it in several money market funds, all with investment grade ratings. The total amount, including accrued yield/interests, was NOK 874 million at the end of the second quarter of 2025. The amount is included in the line-item cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated statement of financial position as of 30 June 2025.

The company's financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value in the statement of financial position based on the fair value measurement levels below:

Level 1

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices of the reporting date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available and represent actual and regular occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis. The group had two financial instruments in this category at 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024, Norwegian Block Exchange and financial investments in money market funds.

Level 2

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity

specific estimates. Financial instruments in level 2 include forward contracts classified as derivatives. The fair value of forward commodity contracts is determined using mark to market values from financial institutions. Spot prices in the mark to market calculations are based on mid-prices as set by the financial institutions at the reporting date.

Level 3

If one or more of the significant inputs are not based on observable market data, specific valuation techniques are applied. The group had two financial instruments in this category as per 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024, investments in Norsk e-Fuel AS and Pilot Flight Academy. No changes in fair value have been recognised for these investments after initial recognition.

Note 13 Contingencies and legal claims

On 21 September 2021, the Norwegian Environment Agency concluded in an administrative ruling that the cram down of claims in the Examinership and Reconstruction does not apply to the company's obligation to surrender emission allowances under EU ETS (see Section 9.6.2 "Environmental regulations") for emissions predating 18 November 2020. The contemplated market value of such allowances is approximately NOK 314 million at the end of 2024. The Reconstructor determined that the Reconstruction applies to the company's obligation to surrender emission allowances as a different view would have given preference to the EU ETS regime, which the current insolvency legislation does not facilitate. Therefore, the company was unable to comply with the Norwegian Environment Agency's demand of the company surrendering emissions allowances. The lack of compliance caused the Norwegian Environment Agency to impose a penalty of approximately NOK 400 million on the company. The company appealed the decision, but on 16 December 2022 the Ministry of Climate and Environment decided to uphold the Norwegian Environment Agency's decision. The company, supported by its advisors and the Reconstructor, are of the view that the company's obligation to surrender emission allowances for emissions pre-dating 18 November 2020 can be settled by paying dividend of 5 percent introduced under the Reconstruction and the decision to impose a penalty of NOK 400 million is invalid. On this basis, the company filed a statement of claim to Oslo District Court on 9 January 2023.

In June 2023, Oslo District Court decided to submit the case to the EFTA Court for consultation on the EU/EEA law implications of the matter. The EFTA Court provided an advisory opinion in August 2024, stating that "Article 12(2a) of Directive 2003/87/EC ["EU ETS Directive"] of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a system for greenhouse gas emissions allowance trading within the Union must be interpreted as precluding national legislation from providing that the obligation to surrender emissions allowances may be settled by dividend in a compulsory debt settlement in connection with the restructuring of an insolvent company". The company takes note of the advisory opinion; however, the company is of the opinion that the EFTA Court's assessments and conclusion are not a correct interpretation of the EU ETS Directive.

Effective 21 March 2024, regulation 23 December 2004 concerning mandatory quotas and the trading of emission allowances for greenhouse gases (the Allowance Regulation) (Nw.: klimakvoteforskriften) implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2904 require "compliance status A" in the EU greenhouse gas emission trading registry for transfers of free allowances. Currently, NAS holds "compliance status B" as the group's obligation to surrender 372,000 emission allowances for 2020 emissions was settled through dividends in accordance with the

Note 14 Events after the reporting period

On 8 July 2025, Norwegian announced that it had entered into an agreement to purchase 3 Boeing 737-800 aircraft that are currently on lease to the company. On completion of the transaction, Norwegian expects to record a non-recurring gain of approximately NOK 260 million.

reconstruction plan which was approved by Oslo City Court and effective as of 26 May 2021. As earlier disclosed, the Norwegian Environment Agency contends that the obligation to surrender allowances cannot be settled in accordance with the reconstruction plan and has appealed a ruling which has adjudicated in favour of Norwegian. NAS believes that the obligation to surrender emissions allowances for 2020 emissions has been finally settled and that NAS therefore should be awarded free allowances.

The liability for allowances related to CO2 emissions in 2024 is measured based on the assumption that Norwegian will receive free allowances for 2024. The liability per 31 December 2024 would be higher by NOK 464 million in total if NAS expected not to receive free allowances in 2024. Fuel cost would accordingly be higher by NOK 464 million for the full-year of 2024.

The liability for allowances related to CO2 emissions in 2025 is measured based on the same assumption that Norwegian will receive free allowances for 2025. The liability per 30 June 2025 would be higher by NOK 133 million in total if NAS expected not to receive free allowances in 2025. Fuel cost would accordingly be higher by NOK 81 million for second quarter of 2025 and NOK 133 million for the first half of 2025.

The legal issue concerning treatment of emission allowances in insolvency has never been tried in court before. As a consequence of the Reconstruction, the amount corresponding to the contemplated market value of such allowances was crammed down and the company has a provision of NOK 15 million at the end of 2024. The company has paid the ETS penalty fee in 2023 and will seek a return of this amount plus interest following a final conclusion.

On 20 December 2024, the Oslo District Court ruled that Norwegian was entitled to fulfil its EU ETS obligations for 2020 by offering dividend corresponding to the allowance obligations, and that the penalty for the failure to meet the EU ETS obligations for 2020 was unlawful. Thus, Norwegian is entitled to a full refund of the penalty amount, including interest amounting to NOK 109 million at the end of the first half of 2025, if the decision becomes final and enforceable. In addition, Norwegian was awarded compensation for legal costs amounting to NOK 10 million.

On 29 January 2025, Norwegian was notified that the Ministry of Climate and Environment have filed an appeal to the Court of Appeal to challenge the decision of the Oslo District Court. The hearing of the appeal is expected to be held in January 2026.

There are no other significant additions or changes to the information regarding contingencies or legal claims presented in Note 27 to the consolidated financial statements for 2024.

There have been no other events subsequent to the reporting period that might have a significant effect on the financial report for the first half year of 2025.
