Comments

  • Revenues are down 11% compared to Q3 24 which is due to lower installation activity in the quarter compared to Q3 last year.
  • Gross profit is up NOK 2.4 million YoY or 7%, despite the decline in Revenues. This is due to underlying better profitability and the effect from the Continuous Sales Agreement with Swiss Life Asset Managers. Gross margin is up by 4.1 p.p. from 19.5% in Q3 24 to 23.5% in Q3 25.
  • Opex is reduced with NOK 16 million YoY to NOK 150 million leading to an operating loss of NOK 110 million which is NOK 22 million better than Q3 2024.
  • Order intake (APM*) of NOK 152 million in the quarter, which is up NOK 10% YoY and down 15% sequentially from Q2 2025

*Order intake is calculated as the backlog at the end of the quarter (NOK 224m) less backlog at beginning of the quarter (NOK 221m) plus revenues in the quarter (NOK 150m). Backlog is calculated as the value of all projects with a signed contract that are yet to be installed as of the last day in the quarter.

Financial review | Growth in revenues and order intake

In Q3, Otovo reported weaker topline results, with revenues declining both year-on-year and sequentially, reflecting soft market conditions and seasonally lower installation activity. Despite the reduced volumes, gross margins held up well, supported by stronger B2B2C performance and disciplined execution. The company continued to deliver significant cost improvements, with payroll expenses down more than 50% from last year after adjusting for the NOK 32 million one-off payroll cost recognized in Q3 2024. This demonstrates the sustained impact of earlier restructuring measures and the operational leverage of the Madrid hub.

Following the quarter, Otovo announced a major strategic shift under the banner "Otovo Evolution – New Phase of Growth." The initiative marks the transition from a sales-led organization toward a pan-European leasing and service platform, open to installer companies across Europe. This transformation will substantially reduce fixed costs, simplify the organization, and extend Otovo's reach by allowing local partners to offer Otovo LEASING and Otovo CARE directly to homeowners. The measures are expected to cut annual payroll costs by approximately NOK 80 million and further strengthen the company's capital-light operating model.

Looking ahead, Otovo remains focused on executing this transition, preserving cash, and positioning the company to benefit from the growing demand for distributed energy solutions through high-margin, recurring leasing and service revenues.

Income statement

Revenues amounted to NOK 149.8 million in Q3 2025, representing an 11 % decline from NOK 169.1 million in Q3 2024. The decrease is mainly due to lower installation activity following persistent market headwinds and the strategic restructuring in which Otovo deprioritized operations in the UK, Netherlands, and Belgium.

Other operating income increased to NOK 5.1 million (Q3 2024: NOK 3.7 million), driven by growth in the newly launched Service product and management fees in the B2B2C segment .

Gross profit rose by 7.1 % to NOK 35.3 million, despite the decline in revenues, reflecting improved gross margins and strong value creation within B2B2C. Compared with Q2 2025 (NOK 36.3 million), gross profit decreased slightly due to seasonally lower installation volumes.

Payroll and related costs were NOK 41.7 million, a significant reduction from NOK 99.8 million in Q3 2024 which included a one-off cost of NOK 32 million. Excluding this one-off, the underlying year-on-year reduction in payroll costs was approximately 26 %, demonstrating the continued effect of cost-saving initiatives and organizational streamlining around the Madrid service hub.

Depreciation, amortization, and impairment expenses totaled NOK 49.8 million (Q3 2024: NOK 9.5 million), driven by a goodwill impairment of NOK 39.0 million recognized in the quarter.

Net financial items ended with a loss of NOK 7.0 million, compared to a gain of NOK 17.8 million in Q3 2024, largely due to non-cash exchange losses of NOK 7.6 million related to intercompany loans as the strengthened slightly.

Financial income fell to NOK 1.1 million (Q3 2024: NOK 9.7 million) due to lower interest income, while financial expenses decreased sharply to NOK 0.6 million (Q3 2024: NOK 8.4 million) following debt repayment connected to the SLAM transaction.

The loss after tax from continuing operations was NOK 117.0 million, compared to NOK 114.0 million in Q3 2024. Adjusted for the goodwill impairment this quarter, this represents a underlying improvement despite softer market conditions.

The net loss after tax was NOK 115.4 million, versus NOK 120.5 million in Q3 2024.

Financial review | Growth in revenues and order intake

Balance sheet

Non-current assets amounted to NOK 242 million as of 30 September 2025 (year-end 2024: NOK 825 million), primarily due to the divestment of the continental subscription portfolio earlier in the year. Reductions across property, plant & equipment, finance lease receivables, and goodwill were partly offset by Otovo's retained 11 % stake in the divested entities.

Current assets totaled NOK 202 million (year-end 2024: NOK 289 million), of which NOK 56 million was cash and cash equivalents. The movement in receivables and prepayments mainly reflects the deconsolidation of divested subsidiaries.

Non-current liabilities decreased from NOK 467 million to NOK 30 million, driven by the repayment of financing linked to the divested portfolio. Current liabilities remained largely stable at NOK 147 million (year-end 2024: NOK 149 million).

Cash flow

Operating cash flow: NOK –74 million, driven by the quarterly operating loss and adverse working-capital effects of NOK 14 million.

Investing cash flow: NOK –1 million, mainly related to investments in Otovo Cloud

Financing cash flow: NOK 0 million.

Net cash change: Cash decreased by NOK 76 million to NOK 56 million at quarter-end.

Outlook

The market for solar PV and related equipment remained challenging throughout 2025. After a strong start to the year, order intake softened during the third quarter as consumer sentiment and installation activity weakened across several European markets. In response, Otovo announced a strategic pivot in October 2025 under the initiative "Otovo Evolution – New Phase of Growth." The new strategy is designed to reduce business volatility and cost levels by introducing recurring revenue streams through the Otovo CARE service product, significantly lowering marketing and in-house sales expenditures, and transitioning to a leaner, partner-driven operating model.

The objective of these measures is to position Otovo as a capital-light pan-European platform for leasing and servicing distributed energy systems—enhancing resilience, improving margins, and strengthening long-term profitability.

On 6 November, Otovo announced a combination agreement with the U.S. company Onvis, alongside a capital raise of NOK 45-80 million across both entities. The transaction aligns with Otovo's strategic evolution toward a scalable, service- and platform-based model, enhancing access to technology, talent, and new markets. Should the transaction fail to close or experience significant delays, the Company will pursue alternative capital-raising options and implement further cash preservation measures to ensure operational continuity.

Note 2 - Portfolio sale and discontinued operations

On 28 March 2025, Otovo ASA ("Otovo" or "the Company") completed the sale of continental subscription assets to FORTE PV S.à r.l., an investment vehicle managed by Swiss Life Asset Managers ("SLAM"), as announced on 21 February 2025.

Otovo retained an 11% ownership stake in the discontinued operations, and is reporting this as Investment in associated company. Otovo and SLAM will continue as partners in scaling the continental subscription platform. Under a Continuous Sale Agreement, Otovo will sell additional portfolio assets to SLAM and will co-invest 2% in future transactions.

Discontinued operations

Otovo has concluded that the subsidiaries included in the transaction should be treated as discontinued operations. The discontinued operations consist of activities related to customers subscribing to use solar panels and related products. The continued operations have included sale of solar panels and related products to the discontinued operations. Revenues and cost of materials and installation services on sales to group internal parties, used in the subscription business, are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Internal profits are eliminated against property, plant, and equipment, as the assets purchased by the subscription segment are recognized on the balance sheet. The eliminated internal profits, along with the net gain from the portfolio sale described above, are included in the profit/(loss) after tax from discontinued operations.

Cash flow related to discontinued operations

The consolidated statement of cash flows is presented gross, meaning that cash flows from discontinued operations have not been separated from cash flows from continuing operations, while in the consolidated income statement the sum of the post-tax profit or loss of the discontinued operation and the post-tax gain recognised on the disposal is presented as a single amount on the face of the statement of comprehensive income. For this reason, it will not be possible to reconcile the adjustments to cash flow from operating activities with the income statement.

External cash flow from discontinued operations is primarily related to monthly subscription payments, net of interest expenses on external financing of subscription assets.

Note 3 - Segment reporting

For Management purposes the Group is organized into two reporting segment. "B2C" and "B2B2C".

  • Direct sales of solar panels and related products to homeowners across Europe ("B2C"), and
  • Sales to the divested group of SPVs under the service agreement, including sales to the Norwegian and Swedish SPVs divested in Q4 2023 ("B2B2C")

Executive Management monitors the operating results of these two business lines separately to inform decisions on resource allocation and for performance management purposes. Segment reporting aligns with how Executive Management reviews the business, with primary emphasis placed on Revenues and Gross Profit. Other operating costs are not allocated between segments but are monitored through functional reporting lines to each respective CxO.

Revenue is comprised of revenues from sale of solar panels and related products, while Other operating income is primarily related to operating lease and service agreements.

Comparables:

  • For B2C, the comparable figure for Revenue reflect revenues previously reported under the Marketplace segment.
  • For B2B2C, the comparable Revenue mainly reflects amounts previously reported as "Revenue internal" in the Marketplace segment, which were eliminated in Otovo Group's consolidated statements while the Subscription SPVs were under its control, along with other non-recurring adjustments for comparability

Note 7 - Impairment of goodwill

The Group recognized an impairment loss of NOK 39.0m related to goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit ISWT (Otovo France). The impairment loss has been recognized in "Depreciation, amortisation and impairment" in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

The impairment was triggered as Otovo at a consolidated level and ISWT performed below budget in the first half of 2025. As a consequence Otovo decided to implement a group wide strategic pivot where marketing spend was reduced, sales functions were restructured and two new products were launched.

Management expects that this will have impact from Q4 (cost) and Q1 (additional revenues). The strategic pivot, however, will impact ISWT adversely compared to the plan that formed the basis for the restructuring implemented in Q4 2024.

The resulting calculated present value of the free cash flow from the cash generating unit is lower than the carrying amount of the goodwill from the ISWT acquisition and conclusion is that the goodwill is impaired with NOK 39.0m.

Otovo has calculated the goodwill's value in use, through estimating the future cash flows the entity expects to derive from the asset. The calculation is taking into account the time value of money and the uncertainty inherent in the asset. In addition we have adopted a scenario based approach to account for possible variations in the amount or timing of those future cash flows where we model a base case (40%) which represents the assumed outcome of the implemented measures, a downside case (40%) where the plan fails to meet expectations and an upside case (20%) where the plan over-delivers.

The cash flow projections are based on reasonable and supportable assumptions. The cash flow projections used are based on the financial model that the Board of Directors have used in the process that resulted in the strategic pivot that was implemented. The growth rate used in the forecast is reduced from last year to reflect observed market development over the last year. Beyond the 5-year period we have applied a steady growth rate of 2% (downside scenario) and 3% (base case scenario and up side scenario) to calculate the terminal value of using the Gordon Growth model. The long term growth rate used reflects a balanced approach, considering both strong near-term growth projections and guidance, which calls for a steady or declining rate beyond that period. This conservative estimate ensure long-term sustainability while accounting for potential market fluctuations and competitive dynamics.

The long term gross margin rate is reflecting the achieved gross margin on projects sold in France 2025. The reduction in pre tax discount rate is reflecting the reduction in long term interest rates seen in 2025.

Workforce Reduction

On 2 October 2025, the Company announced a workforce reduction plan involving approximately 90 full-time equivalent positions. This decision was made as part of a broader cost optimization and restructuring initiative aimed at improving operational efficiency.

As the announcement occurred after the reporting date of 30 September 2025, the event is classified as a non-adjusting subsequent event in accordance with IAS 10 Events after the Reporting Period. Consequently, no adjustments have been made to the financial statements as of 30 September 2025.

The estimated financial impact of the workforce reduction includes:

  • One-time termination benefits and severance payments
  • Continued salary payments during notice periods

The total cost of the reduction is currently estimated to be approximately NOK 20m, which will be recognized in the financial statements of the period in which the termination obligations are incurred. Management will continue to assess the financial and operational implications of the restructuring and provide further updates as appropriate.

No extension of Scandinavian continuous sale agreement

At the end of Q3, the continuous purchase agreement in Norway and Sweden with Swiss Life Asset Managers was not extended. The volumes in Norway and Sweden have been low, particularly given ENOVAs decision to exclude leasing customers from being eligible for subsidies, making the leasing product less attractive in a Norwegian market already subdued by the Norgespris power subsidy. The Scandinavian situation has no impact on the continuous purchase agreement covering continental Europe and discussions with Swiss Life Asset Managers for extensions will go on routinely alongside development of other alternatives for offering 3rd party financing.

Combination with Onvis, change of CEO, and private placement

On November 6th, the Company announced a set of corporate developments.

The Board of Directors of Otovo ASA and of Onvis Inc., a US-based, AI-native home-energy company affiliated with William J. (John) Berger, member of the Otovo Board, have resolved to enter a combination agreement. The agreement sets out a 60/40 (Otovo/Onvis) pre-money ownership split. Following completion, Onvis will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Otovo ASA, serving as the Company's US operating platform. The transaction will be accounted for as a business combination under IFRS 3. The combined entity is intended to remain listed on Euronext Oslo Børs as Otovo ASA under the OTOVO ticker.

John Berger will assume the role of Chief Executive Officer of the combined entity, while Andreas Thorsheim, current CEO of Otovo ASA, will remain in the Company as Chief Product and Marketing Officer.

In connection with the combination, the parties have agreed to carry out a fully underwritten private placement of new shares at NOK 1.00 per share to raise NOK 45 million for growth, geographic expansion, technology, and general working capital for Otovo. The placement is supported by the Company's largest shareholders.
