Q4 and Full Year 2025

{1}------------------------------------------------
From the CEO
For the full year 2025, we are delivering in line with our guiding, reporting NOK 141 million in EBIT, corresponding to a margin of 2.1%, and revenues of NOK 6.6 billion. These achievements confirm the effectiveness of our improvement programs and our ability to deliver consistently over time and improve profitability. During the fourth quarter, operating cash flow improved to NOK 247 million, with a cash release of NOK 196 million.
For 2026, we guide for an operating margin above 3.0% and revenues of approximately NOK 7.5 billion.
The market outlook remains supportive. The tender pipeline totals nearly NOK 30 billion, with increased activity particularly in Sweden and Finland within civil infrastructure. In Norway, our largest customer, Bane NOR, has not announced the volume of major projects previously indicated in the national budget. This has affected order intake in the short term. In the long term we do not expect the total investments to decrease within the rail segment. Tender volumes within our Norwegian civil operations have increased, providing more opportunities going forward.
The primary focus in 2025 was to stabilise the business, particularly in Norway, and to secure sustainable margins. From 2026 onwards, the focus shifts towards profitable growth. In the cost-efficiency program Pole Position for Norway, measures to reduce the cost base by at least NOK 40 million, including optimising the organisation and more streamlined operations, are implemented. We expect full effect in 2026, and partial effects are expected already from the first quarter this year. The measures will strengthen competitiveness and improve our win rates. For the fourth quarter 2025, margin increased to 0.9% compared to -6.0% in the same quarter last year. For the full year, the EBIT ended at NOK 54 million.
Gunnar Knutsen, our subsidiary specialised in mass transportation, has continued to deliver strong results and significantly contributed to the performance in Norway during the fourth quarter. From the first quarter of 2026, Gunnar Knutsen and NRC Kept will be reported as a separate segment referred to as Special Operations.
In Sweden, the operating result for the full year improved to NOK 29 million, supported by solid order intake and increased infrastructure investments in relevant markets. This Overall, in 2025 we strengthened the financial and operational foundation for NRC Group.

is a substantial improvement from NOK -33 million in 2024. The margin ended at 0% in the fourth quarter, compared to 3% in the same quarter last year.
In Finland, margin recovery actions have been completed, and we are back on track. For the fourth quarter, the margin improved to 9.8%, compared to 1.7% in the same quarter last year. The wind power contract secured during the quarter, provides a platform for further growth in a market where investment activities are increasing. The EBIT for 2025 ended at NOK 130 million, a substantial improvement from NOK 49 million in 2024.
The order backlog provides a strong foundation for future growth. For the full year, the backlog improved to over NOK 9 billion. The order intake for Q4 ended at NOK 2.2 billion, an increase of 22% compared to the same quarter last year. The Group continues to pursue opportunities within civil infrastructure in Sweden and Finland and expects to secure larger contracts across multiple civil segments in Norway.
I want to take the opportunity to thank our employees for the continued effort to deliver safe operations. At Group level, zero serious injuries were recorded for the full year, and a declining number of injuries, reflects continuous focus, a strong safety culture and consistent execution in this area across all projects.
I am confident that we are on the right track from restarting the company to profitable growth. In 2026 we will for the first time reach above 3.0% in margin and grow our revenues, which have been slightly below NOK 7 billion for many years.
Overall, in 2025 we strengthened the financial and operational foundation for NRC Group. With improved margins, a solid pipeline and a clear growth agenda supported by cost effective and scalable operations, the Group is well positioned to deliver profitable growth and increased shareholder value going forward.
Thank you for your continued trust and support.

Stay healthy and safe,
Anders Gustafsson, CEO NRC Group

Sweden
Fourth quarter
The revenue in Sweden amounted to NOK 516 million (NOK 546 million). EBIT totalled NOK 0 million (NOK 16 million), corresponding to an EBIT margin of 0.0% (3.0%). The EBIT in the fourth quarter was affected by project write-downs.
During the quarter, NRC Group Sverige has been awarded a SEK 529 million contract by the Swedish Transport Administration for a catenary upgrade between Bräcke and Bispgården, with work scheduled from 2026 to 2028. In addition, The Swedish Transport Administration has exercised the first option year under the railway maintenance contract for the Västra Götaland Väst area, extending the contract awarded in 2022 to August 2029 and adding approximately SEK 66 million in value.
In Q4 a provision for a disputed maintenance contract was reversed, for which the legal case will be decided during Q2 2026. The potential effect on EBIT is assumed to be within what the company can absorb within the guiding for 2026.

Revenue LTM
Finland
Fourth quarter
The revenue in Finland amounted to NOK 652 million (NOK 691 million), a 6% decline from the fourth quarter last year mainly driven by reduced rail-, materials and maintenance volumes. The revenue is expected to grow during 2H 2026. The EBIT totalled NOK 64 million (NOK 12 million), corresponding to an EBIT margin of 9.8% (1.7%). The improvement in EBIT reflects the positive effects of the Acceleration Lane restructuring program, combined with gain from sale of machines.
Finland announced three new contracts during the guarter. This includes the exercise of a two-year option of the frame contract for procurement, logistics and warehousing of railway specific materials in Finland for the period from 2027-2028, valued between EUR 50-80 million.
Full vear
The full year revenue in Finland totalled NOK 2,359 million (NOK 2,782 million), primarily due to reduced volumes across most divisions. However, this decrease was partially mitigated by higher activity within the Machine division. The EBIT was NOK 130 million (NOK -458 million), corresponding to an EBIT margin of 5.5% (-16%). The improvement is explained by effects from the restructuring program, Acceleration Lane, the absence of goodwill impairment and improved project executions.
Order backlog, order intake and tender pipeline
The order backlog was NOK 3.6 billion at quarter-end (NOK 3.6 billion), compared to NOK 3.2 billion at the end of last guarter. The order intake was NOK 1,057 million (NOK 1,332 million), corresponding to a book-to-bill ratio of 1.6x in the guarter and 1.0x measured over the last 12 months.
The tender pipeline in Finland remains strong at approximately NOK 8.1 billion, compared to NOK 5.3 billion end of third quarter 2025 and a 1.2 billion decline from the same quarter last year.

Strategy, market and outlook
STRATEGY AND MARKETS
Our ambition towards 2028 is to become the most ambitious infrastructure builder in the Nordics. The strategic roadmap for profitable growth and long-term value creation is reflected in the financial targets for 2028.
The updated strategy is founded on clearly defined success factors:
- • Creating a winning culture across the Nordics
- • Delivering operational excellence, ensuring top quality and added customer value
- • Building a unified, digital and cost-effective Nordic structure
As we continue to invest in our workforce and leadership - enhancing capabilities in project management and implementing key actions to digitalise our operations - we will strengthen our Nordic-focused structure and execute complex projects with quality and precision. The adoption of the NRC Way is driving a cultural transformation across countries, creating a unified and collaborative Nordic spirit that fosters innovation, quality, and a shared commitment to sustainability and customer value.
NRC Group's strategic priorities are:
- Securing larger contracts to drive growth
- Strengthening Nordic collaboration to enhance efficiency
- Implementing sustainable actions aligned with ESG goals
- Improving project execution to increase operational performance
- Empowering active leadership to foster innovation and strategic oversight
NRC Group will continue to strengthen its position in rail construction and expand civil construction activities, leveraging the Group's established Nordic market position and unique capabilities in selected attractive niche markets. Maintenance, led by the rail business, remains an integral part of the offering with opportunities to include other critical infrastructure over time.

The key driver for NRC Group's strategy and industry is the growing demand for increased construction and maintenance of sustainable infrastructure. Investments in rail and other critical infrastructure are expected to increase from already high levels due the underlying trends such as population growth, urbanisation, more demanding targets for decarbonisation and growing activity related to defence, energy and water supply. This is reflected in budget proposals and national transportation plans in Norway, Sweden and Finland. There is increased political risk and signals from government to accelerate investments to secure countries and people going forward. The widespread governmental support in Norway, Sweden and Finland presents significant opportunities for our business.
OUTLOOK
For 2026, the Group expects revenue at approximately NOK 7.5 billion and a margin above 3.0%.
The Group's long-term target is generating more than NOK 10 billion of revenue with an EBIT margin above 5.0% in 2028.
DIVIDEND
NRC Group's ambition is to distribute dividend of minimum 30% of the profit for the year.
The Board of Directors will not propose a dividend based on the financial year 2025.

Financial information
PROFIT AND LOSS
Fourth quarter
Revenue for the Group in Q4 was NOK 1,708 million, slightly down from same quarter last year (NOK 1,737 million), caused by lower revenue in both Sweden and Finland.

{8}------------------------------------------------
Full year
Total assets decreased by NOK 152 million, compared to NOK 4,603 million last year, primarily caused by reduced cash. The equity ratio was 40% on 31 December 2025.
Total interest-bearing liabilities amounted to NOK 933 million at the end of December, a NOK 47 million decline from yearend 2024.
Net interest-bearing debt increased by NOK 130 million during the year to NOK 752 million. The increase was caused by lower cash balance.
RISKS
NRC Group is exposed to operational-, financial- and market risks.
Operational risks include risk assessment and contingency appraisal in project tendering, project execution, significant market adjustments in cost of goods, materials or services, claims and legal proceedings, such as in the ETM project and a Swedish maintenance contract. In addition, it includes resource optimisation following fluctuations in seasonal demand in the business and ability to implement strategies, as well as macroeconomic conditions such as political changes including changes in government spending, demand or priorities.
NRC Group aims to undertake operational risk that the business units can influence and control. NRC Group has developed risk management processes that are well adapted to the business. The processes are uniform across the businesses and countries, in order to build a common and transparent perspective. This includes an analysis of project risk from the tendering phase through to completion, to ensure appropriate pricing and risk management. NRC Group also seeks to minimise the exposure to risks that cannot be managed.
Financial risks include financial market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. For NRC Group, the most relevant financial market risks are currency risk and interest rate risk. A Group risk management policy for hedging is implemented to manage this risk. With its operations abroad, NRC Group is exposed to currency risks related to subsidiaries in Sweden (SEK) and Finland (EUR). The Group has a EUR-denominated loan to hedge the net investment in Finland. Most transactions in the Group are in local functional currencies.
Group Finance monitors the Group's liquidity and credit facilities through revolving forecasts based on expected shortand long-term cash flows. The overall cash flow is impacted by seasonal fluctuations, intramonth volatility, working capital volatility in specific projects, underlying profitability, investment activity and financial cash flows.
Work in progress and trade receivables are set out contractually, which means that the amount of capital committed is determined by the credit terms in the contracts. NRC Group's liquidity reserves will normally be at its lowest in late spring, summer and early autumn due to the seasonality in the business.
NRC Group's customers are, to a large degree, municipalities or government agencies. NRC Group considers the credit risk from these customers to be low. However, change orders and payment profile of the contracts may cause increases in working capital and funding requirements.
Market risks relate to the future activity level and competitiveness in the Nordic infrastructure market. The ongoing wars in Ukraine and Middle East, high inflation and high interest rates have led to volatility in the financial market and uncertainty in the global economic outlook. In addition, there is heightened political risk and expected uncertainty related to global trading.
Due to the situation, the global outlook is more uncertain both related to material prices, supply chain risks, and government spending on infrastructure.
The Group has analysed the direct earnings sensitivity from increasing material and fuel prices. The findings conclude that the direct effect for NRC Group has been limited, and that our business model is resilient and yields good protection against increasing material prices. In addition to frequently used index adjustments, the customer predominantly takes the risk on sector specific materials within rail infrastructure.

Building with purpose
NRC Group's Sustainability Statement was published in April 2025 as part of the 2024 Integrated Annual Report, available on nrcgroup.com.
NRC Group's sustainability-related goals are integral to its operations and are closely aligned with our key services, markets and stakeholder relationships. We actively manage areas where we have impacts on people and the environment, while also addressing risks and opportunities that affect business operations. Our focus is on constant improvement and learning.
The strategy rests on a dual focus: reducing our own greenhouse gas emissions and developing infrastructure that enables decarbonisation and supports the green transition benefiting clients, communities, and society at large.
We are currently in a process of updating our strategic sustainability roadmap and KPIs, based on an updated Double Materiality assessment. This sets clear focus areas and priorities to align resources, initiatives, and capabilities toward long-term goals. Anchored in strategy, these focus areas create a defined pathway for transformation and work toward common objectives. This integrated approach will accelerate measurable progress, strengthen resilience, and position us to meet regulatory and stakeholder expectations.
In the fourth quarter, NRC Group continued to turn ambitions into actions across operations. From advancing the use of renewable fuels to strengthening our health and safety culture, teams are making sustainability part of everyday decisions. These reflections from across our business areas highlight the progress NRC Group makes, showing responsible practices, innovation, and collaboration to impact the future positively.

How we do it matters to us
Sharing best sustainability practices across projects
NRC Group Finland's Light Rail division has launched a second round of workshops to standardise sustainability work across projects. Building on the 2024 sessions, we continue to collect best practices from major light rail alliance projects and turn them into initiatives, actions and templates for future use — such as environmental e-learning and family days. This year, we are clarifying goals and defining concrete actions to make best practice our new standard.
Jussi Takamaa Development Manager, Light Rail Division, NRC Group Finland


Restoring peatlands to reduce emissions
Peatland restoration is an important part of climate and nature efforts. Through the restoration of previously drained peatland areas, NRC Kept contributes to the protection and restoration of ecosystems and supports long-term carbon storage. Since 2019, we have restored more than 75,000 metres of drainage ditches across Norway. Peatland restoration supports key ecosystem services, including carbon sequestration, improved water quality, and reduced flood risk.
Vegard Wangen Machine Operator, NRC Kept

Caring and Credible: Safety, collaboration and culture
At NRC Group, safety is central to our sustainability agenda and our Formula One strategy. Through local Safety Committees, we strengthen collaboration across employees, projects and management. This year, the committees have addressed deviations identified in BIA, working close to operations to implement practical improvements. This is how we stay Credible through follow-up and accountability — and Caring by protecting people, projects and society.

Summary of EU taxonomy reporting
In 2025, all revenue-generating activities were Taxonomyeligible, with rail transport infrastructure (CCM 6.14) accounting for more than 50% of eligible revenue. Projectlevel assessments therefore primarily focused on this activity. 20% of revenue-generating activities were assessed as Taxonomy-aligned, compared to 27% in 2024. The decrease is mainly driven by lower revenue from previously aligned projects and a limited number of newly evaluated projects. We will continue refining our methodology and broadening the scope of future assessments. The full Taxonomy disclosure will be presented in the Sustainability Statement as part of the Annual Report.

Safe workplace
Our number one priority is that all employees and partners shall return home safe and free of injuries every day. We work and focus on safety in all we do, in line with our policies for health, working environment and safety. All employees shall have a safe and secure working environment at NRC Group.
Health and safety training starts at introduction and continues throughout employment at NRC Group. We maintain a focus on learning from all incidents to enhance our knowledge and continuously upgrade our health and safety systems. Our ultimate goal is zero harm. Our approach includes supporting proactive health measures for our employees and building a single, strong health and safety culture throughout the organisation.
As of December 31, 2025, LTM LTI frequency was 2.8 (including subcontractors) compared to 4.7 same period last year. The LTM sickness absence rate was 3.8% (3.7% for the same period last year). Full year 2025, we have recorded no serious injuries.
We have implemented ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety in the management system (Norway and Finland). During second half of 2025, Sweden was certified as well, which sets a high standard for health and safety, preparedness and continuous improvement of the processes.
Norwegian Transparency Act (in Norway: Åpenhetsloven) is a national law that entered into force on 1 July 2022.

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated statement
1.1 General information
The legal and commercial name of the company is NRC Group ASA.
The company is a public limited liability company incorporated in Norway under the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act with registration number 910 686 909. The company address is Lysaker Torg 25, 1366 Lysaker, Norway.
NRC Group is listed at Oslo Stock exchange under the ticker "NRC" and with ISIN NO0003679102.
1.2 Accounting policies and basis for preparation
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 2025 are prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as approved by the EU and comprise NRC Group ASA and its subsidiaries. The interim financial report is presented in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting principles applied in the interim report are the same as those described in the consolidated accounts for 2024.
The interim accounts do not contain all the information that is required in complete annual accounts, and they should be read in connection with the consolidated accounts for 2024. The report has not been audited.
The selected historical consolidated financial information set forth in this section has been derived from the company's consolidated, unaudited interim fourth quarter financial report for 2024, and the audited financial report for the full year of 2024.
1.3 Significant estimates and judgement
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures including the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Estimates and assumptions are evaluated continuously and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are regarded as probable under the current circumstances. Uncertainty about estimates and assumptions could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities in future periods.
1.3.1 Revenue from contracts with customers
The Group's business mainly consists of execution of projects. The complexity and scope of the projects mean that the projects have an inherent risk that the results may differ from expected results. The Group recognises revenue over time using the input method, e.g. contract costs incurred, resources consumed, or hours spent in relation to the total expected input to fulfil the performance obligation. For projects in progress, the uncertainty is mainly linked to the estimate of total expenses, the estimate of any variable proceeds, the value of any project modifications being recognised and the impact of any disputes or contractual disagreements.
When it is probable that the total contract costs of meeting the obligations will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately according to IAS 37, considering both the incremental costs and allocation of other costs directly related to fulfilling the contract.
1.3.2 Goodwill and other intangible assets
The Group performs its annual impairment tests in the fourth quarter, or whenever there are any indications of impairment. Tests are carried out by comparing recoverable amount with carrying amount of the cash-generating units (CGU) to which goodwill is allocated. The recoverable amount is calculated based on discounting estimated future cash flows before tax, using a relevant discount rate (WACC).
1.3.3 Recognition of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit in the future will be sufficient for losses to be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities have been offset to the extent that they are within the same tax jurisdiction and an intention to offset exists.

3. Interests in associated companies 4. Assets held for sale
The Group has, through the wholly owned subsidiary Nordic Railway Construction Sverige AB, a 20% interest sharing risks and rewards in the company AGN Haga AB ("AGN"). AGN has been involved in two large projects (E04 Station Haga and E03 Kvarnberget) with Trafikverket as customer. E04 Station Haga is economically settled. E03 Kvarnberget is still waiting for economical settlement. Nordic Railway Construction Sverige AB and the other owners of AGN Haga AB have given surety to Trafikverket related to AGN's execution of E03 Kvarnberget.
Financial settlement in E03 Kvarnberget is still awaiting Trafikverket's rectification and was expected to commence during Q3 2025. Economical settlement is now likely to commence Q1 or Q2 2026.
In Q1 2024, the Group made a strategic decision to restructure parts of the demolition and recycling operations in NRC Kept AS due to prevailing market conditions and negative results in 2023. The restructuring included the discontinuation of one department within this business as well as sale of all machinery and equipment.
The Group classifies disposal groups as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sales transaction rather than through continuing use. Disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Costs to sell are the incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset (disposal group), excluding finance costs and income tax expense. The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable, and the disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. These criteria were met when the agreement to sell one of the divisions in NRC Kept was signed in Q1 2024, and the decision to sell machinery and equipment was made in Q1 2024.
As of year-end 2025, the machinery and equipment previously classified as held for sale are no longer actively marketed, and the criteria for a highly probable sale are therefore no longer met. Accordingly, the assets are no longer classified as held for sale at 31 December 2025.

The overdraft facility was undrawn as of 31 December 2025, leaving NOK 400 million available. Drawdowns on the Group's multi-currency overdraft facility can maximum be 60% of last month's book value of the Group's account receivables (AR). Minimum twice a year, a clean-down of the overdraft facility must be made.
Bond loan
The interest cover ratio on the bond loan was reinstated for the financial quarter ending 30 June 2025. For the quarter ending 31 December 2025 and onwards, the interest cover ratio shall exceed 2.5x.
The NOK 400 million bond agreement includes requirements of an incurrence test with leverage ratio < 3.5 for certain transactions such as paying dividend and taking on new loan agreements. For dividend distributions this ratio has been reduced to <2.0 for periods after 31 December 2025. Dividend distribution in 2025 is not permitted under the agreement.

Alternative performance measures
Alternative performance measures are used to describe the development of operations and to enhance comparability between periods. These are not defined under IFRS but correspond to the methods applied by Group management and Board of Directors to measure the Group's financial performance. Alternative performance measures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with IFRS but rather as a complement.
