Quarterly report

From the CEO

As we close the third quarter of 2025, we continue to deliver in line with our strategic plan. The restart of NRC Group is complete, and our strategic initiatives are now integrated into our daily operations. We are seeing consistent results from our improvement programs, and we remain firmly on track to reach our margin target of above 2.0% for 2025, within a range of NOK 135 - 140 million.

Achieving a margin above 2.0% will be a first in NRC Group's history and a clear signal that our restart is working. It reflects our ability to deliver and our commitment to continuous year-on-year improvement, above 3% in 2026, 4% in 2027, and more than 5% in 2028. Our focus this year has been to stabilise the business and secure margins. From 2026 onwards, we will shift more attention towards profitable growth.

This quarter's financial performance reflects our disciplined approach and strategic focus. The pace of improvement confirms that our efforts are generating sustainable effects across the organisation. The reduced cash flow during the quarter, is due to capital binding in certain projects, but we expect the cash position at year-end to be optimised.

In Norway, the order intake improved during the quarter but remains on the weak side for the full year. We have responded with targeted measures to strengthen our commercial efforts and improve project profitability. The ETM project, a demanding and complex assignment, is nearly complete. Remaining work is mainly related to client documentation. When the dispute is resolved, we expect significant cash release. With this behind us, we are better positioned to pursue new opportunities and strengthen our market position.

In Sweden, the operating margin slightly improved. The order intake in the quarter was weaker than the same period last year, although the commercial momentum in Sweden year-to-date confirms our ability to execute on strategic priorities and create long-term value. Trafikverket decided to exercise the two-year option maintenance contract for Godsstråket in third quarter, and after the quarter-end Sweden secured an important rail contract.

We remain firmly on track to reach our margin target of above 2.0% for 2025 (NOK 135 - 140 million)

In Finland, operations remain stable, supported by ongoing efficiency programs. Margins improved significantly during the quarter, although revenue and order intake were on the weaker side. Two major tram projects are still in the design phase and have not yet moved into construction, while other large alliance projects are close to completion, temporarily affecting revenue. However, we are well positioned to increase activity and growth going forward. After the quarter-end, we also secured the two-year options for our material division, demonstrating our consistent performance and ability to deliver value to our client.

Market outlook for sustainable infrastructure remains strong. The tender activity continues to be at a high level across all three countries, and our order backlog supports our growth ambitions. We are actively pursuing opportunities in the civil market in both Sweden and Finland and expect to secure additional wins over the coming quarters. From Q4 and onwards we expect a book-to-bill above 1.0.

Health and safety remain at the top of our agenda. We have seen a positive trend over the past year, from an LTI of 4.7 at year-end 2024 to an LTI of 2.3 over the last twelve months in the third quarter, the lowest level since we began systematic incident reporting.

In summary, the third quarter strengthens our confidence that we are on the right track. We expect a full-year result within the range of NOK 135–140 million. For 2026, we continue to guide for profitable growth with a margin target above 3.0% and revenue of around NOK 7.5 billion. Our focus is now on consistent delivery, improving margins, securing strategic projects, and laying the foundation for profitable long-term growth.

NRC Group is well positioned, having clearly prioritised measures to improve margins this year. Step by step, we are strengthening our business, and we have several promising opportunities for future value creation. From 2026 onwards, we will also report on two additional segments, Machines and Special Operations (Gunnar Knutsen and NRC Kept), in line with our strategy.

Thank you for your continued trust and support.

Stay healthy and safe,

Anders Gustafsson, CEO NRC Group

Financial statements

Norway

Third quarter

The revenue in Norway amounted to NOK 552 million (NOK 569 million), a 3% decrease from the third quarter last year. EBIT totalled NOK 19 million (NOK 12 million), corresponding to an EBIT margin of 3.4% (2.2%).

The program initiated in the second quarter to improve operational efficiency in Norway is progressing according to plan, with continued focus on increasing project profitability and strengthening our competitive position.

During the quarter, NRC Norway secured a NOK 70 million light rail contract in Trondheim and a NOK 53 million civil contract in Oslo, both with completion in June 2027.

Year-to-date

Year-to-date revenue in Norway totalled NOK 1,598 million (NOK 1,507 million), reflecting a 6% increase from last year. The increase was mainly driven by higher activity within Rail, Machine and NRC Kept. EBIT was NOK 49 million (NOK -243 million), with a corresponding margin of 3.1% (-16.2%).

The final phase of the ETM-project is progressing as planned. Activity levels are tapering off, with most of the physical work completed in the third guarter. The handover to Bane NOR takes place in the fourth quarter. Preparation for the final settlement is ongoing.

Order backlog, order intake and tender pipeline

The order backlog was NOK 1.5 billion at quarter-end, NOK 1.6 billion at the end of last quarter and NOK 1.7 billion in the same quarter last year. The order intake was NOK 417 million (NOK 282 million), giving a bookto-bill ratio of 0.8x in the guarter and 0.9x measured over the last 12 months, though the tender pipeline in Norway remains attractive at NOK 10.4 billion, a NOK 2.4 billion increase from last quarter and a NOK 1.8 billion increase from the same period last year.

Sweden

Third quarter

The revenue in Sweden amounted to NOK 592 million (NOK 701 million). The 15% decrease in revenue was mainly driven by lower volumes in the Rail division and timing effects. EBIT matched the same quarter last year, amounting to NOK 10 million (NOK 10 million), corresponding to an EBIT margin of 1.8% (1.4%).

During the quarter, the Swedish Transport Administration has exercised a 2-year maintenance contract option for the Godsstråket area, worth about NOK 94 million. The contract covers track, signalling, and electrical services and will be executed over a twoyear period, from October 2028 to October 2030.

Year-to-date

Year-to-date revenue in Sweden totalled NOK 1,561 million (NOK 1,575 million). EBIT was NOK 29 million (NOK -46 million), corresponding to an EBIT margin of 1.8% (-2.9%).

Order backlog, order intake and tender pipeline

The order backlog was NOK 3.9 billion at quarter-end, compared to NOK 3.8 billion at the end of last quarter and NOK 3.0 billion in the same quarter last year1 . The order intake was NOK 190 million (NOK 294 million), corresponding to a book-to-bill ratio of 0.3x in the quarter and 1.0x measured over the last 12 months.

The tender pipeline is at a robust level of NOK 8.6 billion. The total tender pipeline has decreased by NOK 0.1 billion compared to end second quarter in 2025 and decreased by 1.0 billion compared to the third quarter of 2024.

In Q4 2024 a new principle for order backlog recognition was implemented. Order backlog figures for periods preceding this have not been restated. In addition, order backlog for maintenance contracts was revised (increased) as of Q3. The increase is not included in the order intake for the quarter. The numbers for 2024 and 2025 are not directly comparable.

Finland

Third quarter

The revenue in Finland amounted to NOK 682 million (NOK 841 million), marking a 19% decline from the third quarter last year. The decline was mainly caused by timing effects in light-rail and the maintenance area, in addition to reduced rail and materials volumes. Expect revenue growth from second quarter 2026. EBIT totalled NOK 52 million (NOK 31 million), corresponding to an EBIT margin of 7.7% (3.7%). The improvement in EBIT reflects the positive effects of the Acceleration Lane restructuring program, combined with gain from sale of machines.

Finland announced a NOK 53 million maintenance contract this quarter, starting January 2026 and ending December 2028, with two options, each for two years.

Year-to-date

Year-to-date revenue in Finland totalled NOK 1,707 million (NOK 2,091 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 66 million (NOK -470 million,), corresponding to an EBIT margin of 3.9% (-22.5%). The improvement is partly explained by effects from the restructuring program, Acceleration Lane, and the absence of goodwill impairment.

Order backlog, order intake and tender pipeline

The order backlog was NOK 3.2 billion at quarter-end, compared to NOK 3.6 billion at the end of last guarter and NOK 2.1 billion in the same guarter last year1. The order intake was NOK 293 million (NOK 393 million), corresponding to a book-to-bill ratio of 0.4x in the guarter and 1.1x measured over the last 12 months.

The tender pipeline in Finland remains strong at approximately NOK 5.3 billion, compared to NOK 7.9 billion last quarter. The decline in the tender pipeline is mainly related to the adjustment of light rail alliance projects, where only phases expected to be tendered within the next nine months are now included. This results in lower reported tender volumes, as construction phases of Program Alliance and Turku Light Rail now are excluded from the next nine months. The volumes will be included in pipeline as soon as timing for decision to move into construction phase is confirmed.

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.

NRC Group aims to become the most ambitious infrastructure builder in the Nordics

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. 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 translation 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.

The Group had total current assets of NOK 2,043 million at the end of the quarter, NOK 57 million higher than the short-term liabilities. Total cash amounted per quarter-end to NOK 0 million, in addition to NOK 384 million available under the Group's multi-currency credit facility of NOK 400 million. See note 5 to the interim financial statements section for details regarding this.

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 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. The Group monitors the development, including both direct and indirect effects, and is actively evaluating opportunities to limit risk in the project portfolio.

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 set clear focus areas and priorities to align resources, initiatives, and capabilities toward longterm 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 third 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 make, showing responsible practices, innovation, and collaboration to impact the future positively.

How we do it matters to us

Driving Carbon Reduction

One vehicle at a time, we are moving towards a carbon-neutral future. Since introducing our renewable fuel guidelines last year, the Light Rail Division has led the way - achieving 70% renewable diesel use across its fleet. Every driver's choice matters. Through commitment, communication, and collaboration, we are steadily accelerating towards our 100% renewable fuel goal.

Jouni Kekäle Director, Light Rail Division, NRC Group Finland

365 days of Safe Operations

In September, we celebrated 365 days without any lost-time injuries in NRC Norway. The milestone reflects our strong health and safety culture built on openness, learning, and shared responsibility. It is the result of dedication and close follow-up across our projects. Sustainability is also about people, caring for one another and ensuring everyone returns home safely, every day.

Mari Hovelsen Head of HSE, NRC Group Norway

Committed to Zero Emission Transport

We combine reliability with responsibility on one of Sweden's most vital railway lines. Through preventive and corrective maintenance on the 220-kilometer Svealandsbanan, we ensure safe train operations while reducing our environmental impact. All transport in the project follows strict rules for zero-emission vehicles and renewable fuels. By using a mix of electric and HVO-powered vehicles and by carefully managing approved chemicals, we minimize emissions and protect nature, proving that sustainable maintenance is possible every day.

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 September 30, 2025, LTM LTI frequency was 2.1 (including subcontractors) compared to 5.1 same period last year. The LTM sickness absence rate was 3.8% (3.7% for the same period last year). Year-to-date 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 will be 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. It requires larger companies to proactively assess and publicly disclose how they address fundamental human rights and decent working conditions in their own operations, supply chains, and business partnerships.

The annual reporting deadline under the Act is June 30 each year. NRC Group's statement on the due diligence assessments carried out in the period 1 July to 31 May 2025 is available on nrcgroup.com/sustainability/governance

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 September 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 third 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.

2. Segments (continued) 3. Interests in associated companies

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.

Third quarter 2025 34 Third quarter 2025 35

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.

The major classes of NRC Kept's assets classified as held for sale as of 30 June 2025 were right of use assets of NOK 25 million.

4. Assets held for sale 5. Loans and other non-current liabilities

The Group was not in breach with any loan covenants as of 30 September 2025.

The margin above 3-months interest rates for the Group's bank loan depend on the leverage ratio and is currently set to 3.25%, while the margin for the overdraft facility is 2.35%. The margin on the bank loan will be decreased to 2.80% in Q4 2025.

Financial covenants

The Group's bank loan and credit facility with Danske Bank ASA and the NOK 400 million senior unsecured bond contain financial conditions based on the facility agreements that may not be directly related to reported IFRS numbers. Certain covenants have been added, suspended or amended for parts of 2024 and 2025 as described in the tables below:

  • Interest cover ratio: 12 months rolling EBITDA (adjusted for acquisition costs and certain non-recurring items) divided by the 12 months rolling net financial expenses
  • Leverage ratio: Net interest-bearing debt in relation to adjusted 12 months rolling EBITDA
  • Equity ratio: Equity in relation to total assets
  • New temporary covenant of minimum 12 months rolling EBITDA adjusted
  • New temporary covenant of minimum liquidity
  • Amended restriction on dividend distribution

Third quarter 2025 36 Third quarter 2025 37

As a consequence of the minimum liquidity requirement available limit on the credit facility was NOK 309 million at 30 September 2025. The net credit facility limit will return to NOK 400 million from Q4 2025 onwards. The overdraft facility was partly utilised as of 30 September 2025, with NOK 16 million drawn and NOK 384 million remaining 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 is reinstated for the financial quarter ending 30 June 2025. For the quarter ending 30 September 2025, the interest cover ratio shall exceed 2.00x. From the fourth quarter of 2025 and onwards, the ratio shall exceed 2.50x.

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.
