CEO's review
Operations well above last year and delivering strong H1 2025 results while announcing an extraordinary general meeting to increase the share capital to strengthen the capital structure and provide financial flexibility.
Selected events
Business progress and development
Extraordinary general meeting announced to increase the share capital.
Announced a fully underwritten rights issue with support from the Danish state as majority shareholder.
Secured project financing at Greater Changhua 2a and 2b.
Successfully closed the farm-down of a 24.5 % stake in West of Duddon Sands.
Launched a sales process for a potential full divestment of our Europe Onshore business.
Achieved first power at Greater Changhua 2b and 4 in July.
Completed Revolution Wind monopile installation, and commenced Sunrise Wind monopile installation, with both projects on track to reach expected COD in H2 2026 and 2027, respectively.
Operation & financials
Operating profit (EBITDA) amounted to DKK 15.5 billion in H1 2025 compared to DKK 14.1 billion in H1 2024.
EBITDA excluding new partnerships and cancellation fees amounted to DKK 13.9 billion in H1 2025, up 9 % compared to the same period last year, mainly due to higher availability, partly offset by lower wind speeds throughout our offshore operational assets.
Our decision to discontinue Hornsea 4 in its current form led as expected to a negative EBITDA impact from cancellation fees of DKK 2.9 billion and impairment losses of DKK 0.5 billion in the first half year of 2025.
At Ocean Wind 1, we have reversed DKK 1.3 billion of cancellation fees mainly due to successfully negotiating several contracts.
We maintain our full-year guidance on EBITDA and gross investments.
Extraordinary general meeting
The Board of Directors of Ørsted A/S will call for an extraordinary general meeting to be held on 5 September 2025, with the purpose of proposing that the general meeting authorise the Board of Directors to increase the share capital of Ørsted A/S, with pre-emptive rights for the existing shareholders, by way of a cash contribution of up to DKK 60 billion. For further information about the background of the EGM notification, the notification can be accessed here, once released: https://orsted.com/en/ media/news. In addition, reference is made to the related announcement published on 11 August 2025: https://orsted.com/en/investors.
Executing on our business plan
During Q2, we continued to deliver on our four strategic priorities as set out in connection with the full year 2024 results.
However, following recent material adverse developments in the US offshore wind market, it is not possible for us to complete the partial divestment and associated non-recourse project financing of our Sunrise Wind project on terms which would provide the required strengthening of our capital structure in order to support our investment programme and business plan. Based on these developments, the Board of Directors today decided to discontinue the process for the partial divestment of our Sunrise Wind project. This means that that we are required to fund the construction of the entire project on our balance sheet. With the contemplated rights issue, and with
positive developments related to the successful farm-down of a 24.5 % stake in West of Duddon Sands in May as well as the obtained project financing at Greater Changhua 2a and 2b, we are taking important steps to ensure a robust capital structure which will enable us to deliver value-adding projects to our investors.
Firstly, a strengthened capital structure will enable a more value accretive and flexible approach to partnerships and divestments, and provide financial flexibility for future investments. This will safeguard a larger share of operational cash flow. We continue to progress the previously announced farm-down processes for Hornsea 3 and Greater Changhua 2, and we have launched a sales process for a potential full divestment of our European Onshore business, with total expected proceeds of more than DKK 35 billion in 2025 and 2026.
Secondly, we successfully installed the first foundations at Sunrise Wind, following completion of the wind turbine foundation installation at Revolution Wind. Construction of our offshore US assets is progressing as expected and according to plan. Furthermore, we successfully reached first power at Greater Changhua 2b and 4, which is a huge milestone for the project.
Thirdly, we will continue a focused and disciplined approach towards capital allocation, prioritising value over volume. This is underlined by not continuing with Hornsea 4 in its
current form, our strategic decision to not participate in the Danish CCS tenders in the immediate future, and having initiated a process to divest our European Onshore business.
Lastly, we continue to focus on organisational efficiency and on increasing competitiveness. During 2025 and 2026, we will continue to rightsize our organisation and lower our costs to become more competitive and flexible as part of our winning formula for the future.
Construction projects
In our US offshore portfolio, construction of our Northeast programme is progressing according to plan, and we continue to work diligently to manage execution risks. At the first part of the Northeast programme, our Revolution Wind project, all wind turbine foundation monopiles have been installed, and wind turbine installation is progressing as expected. The overall degree of completion at Revolution Wind is now at approx. 80 %. At the second part of the Northeast programme, our Sunrise Wind project, we have successfully installed the first monopiles, and the degree of completion is now at approx. 35 %.
We are following developments regarding potential tariffs and other regulatory changes, particularly affecting the US, and are continually assessing any possible financial and wider impacts.
At Greater Changhua 2b and 4, we have successfully installed half of the wind turbines, and we achieved first power in July. Due to a delay in wind turbine blade delivery and a slow start to array cable installation, COD for Greater Changhua 2b is expected by the end of 2025, and COD for Changhua 4 is currently
expected in the first half of 2026.
Our European portfolio also experienced good progress in H1 2025. At Hornsea 3 in the UK, construction is progressing according to plan with the topside of the offshore converter station having been delivered from Thailand to Norway in June 2025 for fit-out, monopile fabricators for the project have started work and site preparation for the export cables has commenced. In Poland, our Baltica 2 project is in its early construction phase following the recent FID.
Further, the construction of our 300 MW energy storage project in the UK connected to the Hornsea zone and our carbon capture project in Denmark are both progressing according to plan with expected commissioning in 2026.
Strong long-term fundamentals
Although project realisation faces risks from permitting delays, capital constraints, and the need for continued cost reductions, the fundamental drivers remain clear. Offshore wind is key to delivering affordable, secure, and clean energy in a cost-efficient transition in Europe. The strong fundamentals position offshore wind for substantial long-term growth, ensuring that it will play a central role in Europe's and the world's clean energy future.
Operation & Financials
Operating profit (EBITDA) for the first half year amounted to DKK 15.5 billion compared to DKK 14.1 billion in the same period last year. EBITDA excluding new partnerships and cancellation fees in H1 2025 amounted to DKK 13.9 billion, an underlying increase of DKK 1.1 billion compared to the same period last year.
Earnings from our offshore sites amounted to DKK 12.5 billion in H1 2025, up 10 % compared to the same period last year. The increase was mainly due to high availability, partly offset by lower wind speeds.
Our decision to discontinue Hornsea 4 in its current form led as expected to a negative EBITDA impact from cancellation fees of DKK 2.9 billion and impairment losses of DKK 0.5 billion in the first half year of 2025. DKK 1.5 billion of the DKK 2.9 billion is related to the cables from the Ocean Wind 1 project that were to be reused at Hornsea 4. For Ocean Wind 1, we had a positive EBITDA impact of DKK 1.3 billion regarding cancellation fees, mainly because we have continued to work through our supplier contracts and finalised negotiation of several contracts with a better outcome than assumed.
We maintain our full-year EBITDA guidance of DKK 25-28 billion excluding earnings from new partnerships and cancellation fees. Additionally, we maintain our gross investments guidance of DKK 50-54 billion.

Outlook 2025
EBITDA
EBITDA in 2025 excluding new partnership agreements and cancellation fees is unchanged and expected to amount to DKK 25- 28 billion.
We have changed the directional guidance for Offshore from 'Higher' to 'Neutral' due to lower wind impact in the first months of 2025.
This guidance is based on an assumption of normal wind speeds in the remainder of the year. As always, the guidance is subject to a number of uncertainties (see below and box to the right).
Gross investments
Gross investments in 2025 are expected to amount to DKK 50-54 billion, which is unchanged relative to the guidance in the annual report.
Uncertainties in the US
We are following developments regarding potential tariffs and other regulatory changes, particularly affecting the US, and are continually assessing any possible financial and wider impacts.

Forward-looking statements
The interim report contains forward-looking statements, which include projections of our short- and long-term financial performance and targets as well as our financial policies. These statements are by nature uncertain and associated with risk. Many factors may cause the actual development to differ materially from our expectations. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in temperature, wind conditions, wake and blockage effects, precipitation levels, the development in power, coal, carbon, gas, oil, currency, inflation rates, and interest rate markets, the ability to uphold hedge accounting, changes in legislation, regulations, or standards, the renegotiation of contracts, changes in the competitive environment in our markets, reliability of supply, and market volatility and disruptions from geopolitical tensions. Read more about the risks in our annual report for 2024 in the chapter 'Risks and risk management' and in note 6 'Risk management'.
Results H1
Financial results
Revenue
Power generation from offshore and onshore assets increased by 1 % and totalled 17.4 TWh in H1 2025. The increase was due to ramp-up of generation from our offshore wind farm Gode Wind 3 and our solar PV farms Sparta Solar (part of Helena Energy Center), Eleven Mile Solar Center, and Mockingbird. Furthermore, curtailments at Hornsea 1 and Hornsea 2 and bad weather in the US led to low availability in H1 2024, which was not repeated to the same extent in H1 2025. This was partly offset by significantly lower wind speeds throughout our offshore portfolio.
Heat generation decreased by 7 % in H1 2025, mainly due to warmer weather. Thermal power generation decreased by 15 % due to lower cogeneration and lower prices.
Our renewable share of generation amounted to 99 %, an increase of 2 percentage points compared to last year.
Revenue amounted to DKK 37.8 billion. The increase of 11 % relative to H1 2024 was mainly due to higher power generation and higher gas and power prices.
EBITDA
Operating profit (EBITDA) for H1 2025 amounted to DKK 15.5 billion, DKK 1.5 billion higher than in H1 2024.
Earnings from new partnerships related to the farm-downs of West of Duddon Sands (DKK 2.8 billion) and Eleven Mile and Sparta Solar (DKK 0.3 billion). Impact from cancellation fees related to the decision to discontinue Hornsea

4 in its current form (DKK 2.9 billion), partly offset by effects from Ocean Wind 1 (DKK 1.3 billion).
Adjusted for new partnerships and cancellation fees, EBITDA increased by DKK 1.1 billion (9 %) to DKK 13.9 billion.
EBITDA from Offshore sites amounted to DKK 12.5 billion, an increase of DKK 1.1 billion compared to H1 2024. The increase was driven by the ramp-up of generation from Gode Wind 3, compensations for grid delay at Borkum Riffgrund 3, higher availability, and higher revenue from CfDs, ROCs, and green certificates. Furthermore, our power trading activities delivered strong earnings in H1 2025. The increase in earnings was partly offset by lower wind speeds (DKK 1.9 billion).
EBITDA from existing partnerships increased by DKK 0.3 billion and amounted to DKK 0.0 billion in H1 2025.
EBITDA from our Onshore business excl. new partnerships amounted to DKK 2.3 billion, DKK 0.6 billion higher than in H1 2024. The increase was due to the ramp-up of generation at Sparta Solar, Mockingbird, and Eleven Mile Solar Center.
EBITDA from our CHP plants amounted to DKK 0.9 billion in H1 2025, DKK 0.3 billion higher than in H1 2024. The increase was mainly due to higher achieved prices and improved spreads in Q1 2025.
EBITDA from our gas business totalled DKK 0.3 billion in H1 2025, DKK 0.4 billion higher

EBITDA excluding new partnerships and cancellation fees, DKKbn
than in H1 2024. The increase was mainly driven by the ramp-up of volumes from our offtake contract with DUC due to the ramp up of production from the Tyra field. Furthermore, the negative effect from the revaluation of gas at storages in H1 2024 was not repeated to the same extent in H1 2025.
Impairments
Net impairment reversals had a positive effect in H1 2025 of DKK 0.3 billion. The main contributors to the net impairment reversals were a decrease in the long-dated US interest rates (DKK 1.5 billion) and an increase in long-term prices for our US onshore assets (DKK 0.5 billion), which was partly offset by new imposed tariffs in the US (DKK 1.2 billion) and impairments related to the decision to discontinue the Hornsea 4 project in its current form (DKK 0.5 billion). See note 4 'Impairments' for more information.
EBIT
EBIT increased by DKK 5.0 billion to DKK 10.8 billion in H1 2025. This was mainly due to the higher EBITDA and lower impairments in H1 2025.
Financial income and expenses
Net financial income and expenses amounted to DKK -1.9 billion, in line with the same period last year. The negative development was due to a positive effect from a gain on US interest rate swaps in H1 2024 not being repeated in H1 2025. This was partly offset by a higher share of capitalised interests and a positive impact from exchange rate adjustments, primarily due to gains from the strengthening of DKK against GBP and USD in H1 2025, contrasting with the losses from its weakening against these currencies in Q1 2024. These exchange rate gains were partly offset by a loss from the substan- tial decrease in the NTD exchange rate in H1 2025.
Tax and tax rate
Tax on profit for the period amounted to DKK 0.9 billion, DKK 2.1 billion lower than in H1 2024. The tax rate in H1 2025 was 10 % and was affected by impairments, cancellation fees, and gain from the 50 % farm-downs of West of Duddon Sands and Eleven Mile and Sparta Solar. As part of the onshore transac- tion, DKK 0.6 billion of previously recognised deferred tax liabilities related to tax equity contributions were reversed in the tax line item (see note 9 'Tax on profit (loss) for the period').
Profit for the period
Profit for the period totalled DKK 8.2 billion, DKK 7.3 billion higher than in H1 2024. The increase was mainly due to higher EBITDA, lower impairments, and lower tax.
Cash flows and net debt
Cash flows from operating activities
Cash flows from operating activities totalled DKK 7.8 billion in H1 2025 compared to DKK 9.7 billion in H1 2024, with negative year-over- year contributions from reversal of gain on sale of assets, variation margin, change in tax equity, work in progress, and other working capital. This was partly offset by higher EBITDA, a positive development in year-over- year change in provision, and lower paid tax. In H1 2025, the positive impact from provisions and other items was mainly related to rever- sal of the non-cash impact in EBITDA from cancellation fees, whereas we in H1 2024 had a net cash outflow of DKK 4.1 billion from pay-

ments regarding the provisions made for can-
cellation fees re. Ocean Wind 1. In H1 2025, the net release in variation margin payments on unrealised hedges ('Change in variation margin') and initial margin payments at clearing houses (part of 'Change in other working capital') was DKK 0.0 billion, whereas we released DKK 1.9 billion in H1 2024:
- the variation margin payments were a cash outflow of DKK 0.1 billion vs a cash inflow of DKK 1.7 billion in H1 2024
– the initial margin payments were a cash inflow of DKK 0.1 billion vs a cash inflow of DKK 0.2 billion in Q1 2024. In H1 2025, we had a net cash outflow from work in progress of DKK 1.5 billion, mainly re- lated to the construction of the Hornsea 3 offshore transmission asset and the construc- tion of Borkum Riffgrund 3 for partners. This was partly offset by a milestone payment received for Greater Changhua 4. In H1 2024, we had a cash outflow of DKK 1.1 billion, main- ly related to the construction of the Hornsea 3 and Hornsea 4 offshore transmission assets, partly offset by milestone payments received at Borkum Riffgrund 3 and Greater Changhua 1. In H1 2025, we did not receive tax equity con-
tributions whereas we received tax equity contributions for Eleven Mile in H1 2024. In both periods, 'Change in tax equity' included a reversal of the non-cash recognition of tax credits and benefits through EBITDA.
'Change in other working capital' was mainly related to seasonal changes in net account receivables and payables.
Investments and divestments
Gross investments amounted to DKK 25.0 billion in H1 2025. The main investments were:
- offshore wind farms (DKK 21.2 billion), mainly Greater Changhua 2b and 4 in Taiwan, Hornsea 3 and Baltica 2 in Europe, and Sunrise Wind and Revolution Wind in the US
- onshore wind and solar PV farms (DKK 2.7 billion), mainly the construction of Badger, the BESS at Old 300, and our portfolio of European projects
- CHP plants (DKK 1.0 billion), mainly our carbon capture and storage facilities in Denmark.
In H1 2025, 'Divestments' amounted to DKK 7.2 billion and were mainly related to the 50 % farm-down of Eleven Mile and Sparta Solar and the partial farm-down of West of Duddon Sands.
In H1 2024, 'Divestments' amounted to DKK 2.3 billion and were mainly related to the sale of the French part of our Onshore Europe portfolio, divestment of an equity ownership stake in a portfolio consisting of four US onshore wind farms, and customary compensation to our partners at Hornsea 1 for wake loss effects.
Interest-bearing net debt
Interest-bearing net debt totalled DKK 67.1 billion at the end of H1 2025 against DKK 58.0 billion at the end of 2024. The increase was mainly due to a negative free cash flow of DKK 9.9 billion.
Equity
Equity was DKK 97.4 billion at the end of H1 2025 against DKK 93.5 billion at the end of 2024.
Capital employed
Capital employed was DKK 164.6 billion at the end of H1 2025 against DKK 151.5 billion at the end of 2024, mainly due to new investments.
Financial ratios Return on capital employed (ROCE)
Return on capital employed (ROCE) was 7.5 % in H1 2025. The increase of 20 percentage points compared to last year was attributable to a higher EBIT due to a higher EBITDA and lower impairment losses. ROCE adjusted for impairment losses and cancellation fees in H1 2025 was 12.3 % vs 13.1 % in H1 2024. The decrease of 0.8 percentage points was mainly due to higher capital employed for projects under construction year-over-year.
Credit metric (FFO/adjusted interest-bearing net debt)
The funds from operations (FFO)/adjusted interest-bearing net debt credit metric was 15.6 % in H1 2025 against 22.0 % in H1 2024. The decrease was due to higher NIBD, only partly offset by higher FFO. Adjusted for cancellation fee payments, the credit metric was 19.2 % in H1 2025.
In Q1 2025, the Ørsted FFO/NIBD definition was changed to include adjustment of

ESG results
Renewable share of energy generation
The renewable share of energy generation was 99 % in H1 2025, a 2 percentage point increase compared to H1 2024. The increase was mainly driven by the stop of coal-based generation in H2 2024 and lower natural gasbased generation at our CHP plants. We remain on track to reach our target of 99 % share of renewable energy for the full year 2025.
Greenhouse gas emissions
Our gas emissions from own operations (scope 1) decreased by 72 % in H1 2025 compared to H1 2024. The decrease was driven by the cessation of coal-based generation in H2 2024 and lower natural gas-based generation compared to H1 2024. Our scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas intensity decreased to 4 g CO2e/ kWh in H1 2025 compared to 15 g CO2e/kWh in H1 2024, due to the decrease in scope 1 emissions (numerator) being slightly offset by a lower total heat and power generation (denominator). We remain on track to reach our target of 10 g CO2e/kWh for the scope 1 and 2 intensity for the full year 2025.
Greenhouse gas emissions from our supply chain and sales activities (scope 3) were 21 % lower in H1 2025 than in H1 2024, mainly due to 89 % lower scope 3 emissions from capital goods due to lower commissioned new capacity. This was partly offset by an increase in scope 3 from use of sold products (category 11). Our scope 1-3 greenhouse gas intensity decreased by 63 % to 52 g CO2e/ kWh in H1 2025 compared to 140 g CO2e/ kWh in H1 2024.
Safety
There were two tragic fatalities among our contractor employees at the Plum Creek Onshore Wind Farm in Q1 2025. In H1 2025, we had 47 total recordable injuries (TRIs), of which 37 injuries were related to contractors' employees. This was an increase in TRIs of 57 % from H1 2024 to H1 2025, which can partly be explained by a 22 % increase in hours worked, primarily due to increased contractor hours. Our total recordable injury rate (TRIR) increased by 29 % from 2.1 in H1 2024 to 2.7 in H1 2025. Consequently, our 'Quality, Health, Safety & Environment' team (QHSE) has initiated a programme called 'Boost QHSE' with increased focus on training, awareness, and management focus, aiming to lower the incident rate again.
Results Q2
EBITDA
Operating profit (EBITDA) for Q2 2025 amounted to DKK 6.6 billion, DKK 0.1 billion higher than in Q2 2024. Adjusted for new partnerships and cancellation fees, EBITDA increased by DKK 0.1 billion (1 %) to DKK 5.3 billion.
Earnings from Offshore sites amounted to DKK 4.8 billion, an increase of DKK 0.4 billion compared to Q2 2024. The increase was driven by ramp-up of generation from Gode Wind 3, and compensation related to Borkum Riffgrund 3, higher availability, and higher revenue from CfDs, ROCs, and green certificates. This was partly offset by lower wind speeds (DKK 0.5 billion).
EBITDA from existing partnerships increased by
DKK 0.1 billion and amounted to DKK 0.1 billion
in Q2 2025.
EBITDA from Onshore amounted to DKK 1.2 billion, DKK 0.2 billion higher than in Q1 2024. The increase was due to ramp-up of generation at Mockingbird and Eleven Mile Solar Center as well as sale of components. This was only partly offset by lower availability and lower wind speeds.
EBITDA from our CHP plants amounted to DKK 0.2 billion in Q2 2025, DKK 0.1 billion higher than in Q2 2024. The increase was mainly due to higher prices and spreads.
EBITDA from our gas business totalled DKK 0.1 billion in Q2 2025, DKK 0.1 billion higher than in Q2 2024. The increase was mainly driven by ramp-up of volumes from our offtake contract

Impairments
Impairment losses in Q2 2025 amounted to DKK 0.0 billion. The contributors to the net zero impairment loss in the quarter were the decision to discontinue the Hornsea 4 project in its current form (DKK 0.5 billion), which was offset by a positive development on our US onshore assets from increasing long-term prices. See note 4 'Impairments' for more information
Cash flows from operating activities
Cash flows from operating activities totalled DKK 7.2 billion in Q2 2025 compared to DKK 6.1 billion in Q2 2024 with positive year-overyear contributions from change in provisions,
construction contracts, and other net working capital. This was partly offset by reversal of the gain related to the farm-down of West of Duddon Sands, lower change in variation margin, and change in tax equity.
In Q2 2025, the positive impact from provisions and other items was mainly related to a reversal of the non-cash impact on EBITDA from cancellation fees, whereas we had a net cash outflow of DKK 1.7 billion from payments regarding the provisions made for cancellation fees regarding Ocean Wind 1 in Q2 2024.
In Q2 2025, the net increase in variation margin payments on unrealised hedges ('Change in variation margin') and initial margin payments at clearing houses (part of 'Change in
EBITDA excluding new partnerships and cancellation fees, DKKbn

other working capital') was DKK 0.2 billion, whereas we released DKK 0.9 billion in Q2 2024:
- the variation margin payments were a cash outflow of DKK 0.1 billion vs a cash inflow of DKK 1.1 billion in Q2 2024.
- the initial margin payments were a cash outflow of DKK 0.1 billion vs a cash outflow of DKK 0.2 billion in Q2 2024.
In Q2 2025, we had a net cash inflow from work in progress of DKK 1.6 billion, mainly related to the receipt of a milestone payment at Greater Changhua 4, partly offset by construction related to the offshore transmission assets at Hornsea 3. In Q2 2024, we had a cash outflow of DKK 0.5 billion, mainly related to the construction of the Hornsea 3 and Hornsea 4 offshore transmission assets, partly offset by milestone payments received for Borkum Riffgrund 3.
In Q2 2025, we did not receive tax equity contributions, whereas we received tax equity contributions for Eleven Mile in Q2 2024. In both periods, 'Change in tax equity' included a reversal of the non-cash recognition of tax credits and benefits through EBITDA.
'Change in other working capital' was mainly related to seasonal changes in net account receivables and payables.

Financial results for Q2 2025
Power generation decreased by 1 % to 3.6 TWh in Q2 2025. The decrease was due to significantly lower wind speeds in April. This was partly offset by the ramp-up of generation at Borkum Riffgrund 3, leading to a 6 % increase in generation capacity, as well as outages at Hornsea 1 and 2 in Q2 2024 not being repeated in Q2 2025.
Wind speeds amounted to a portfolio average of 8.5 m/s, which was significantly lower than in Q2 2024 (9.0 m/s) and lower than the normal wind speeds expected in the second quarter (8.6 m/s).
Availability was 90 %, which was 7 percentage points higher than in the same period last year due to more outages in Q2 2024 than in Q2 2025.
Revenue was DKK 1.8 billion higher than in Q2 2024 and amounted to DKK 13.4 billion.
Revenue from offshore wind farms in operation increased by 11 % to DKK 5.9 billion, mainly driven by increased revenue from CfD contracts, ROCs, and green certificates, which was only partly offset by lower generation. Revenue from power sales increased by DKK 1.4 billion to DKK 5.1 billion due to higher power prices. Revenue from construction agreements mainly related to the construction of Greater Changhua 4 for partners.
EBITDA increased by DKK 0.1 billion and amounted to DKK 5.3 billion.
EBITDA from 'Sites, O&M, and PPAs' increased by DKK 0.4 billion and amounted to DKK 4.8 billion in Q2 2025. The increase was driven by the ramp-up of generation from Gode Wind 3, compensations for grid delay at Borkum Riffgrund 3, higher availability, and higher revenue from CfDs, ROCs, and green certificates. This was partly offset by lower wind speeds (DKK 0.5 billion).
EBITDA from 'Construction agreements and divestment gains' amounted to DKK 2.9 billion in Q2 2025 and was mainly related to the farm-down of West of Duddon Sands.
EBITDA from cancellation fees amounted to a net loss of DKK 1.5 billion in Q2 2025. As expected, the decision to discontinue Hornsea 4 in its current form resulted in a negative EBITDA impact of DKK 2.9 billion. DKK 1.5 billion of the DKK 2.9 billion were related to the cables from the Ocean Wind 1 project that were to be reused at Hornsea 4. This was partly offset by a positive impact from Ocean Wind 1 of DKK 1.3 billion following various settlements of contracts.
EBITDA from 'Other incl. project development' was DKK 0.4 billion more negative than in Q2 2024, of which DKK 0.2 billion related to cost reallocations, which had no impact on the total EBITDA for Offshore.

Onshore
Financial results for Q2 2025
Power generation decreased by 4 % compared to Q2 2024 and amounted to 4.0 TWh. The decrease was due to lower wind speeds, lower availability due to scheduled maintenance at several of our onshore wind farms in the US, and lower generation due to the 50 % farmdowns of Mockingbird in Q4 2024 and Sparta Solar and Eleven Mile in Q1 2025. This was only partly offset by ramp-up of generation at Mockingbird and Eleven Mile. In Q2 2025, the wind speeds across the portfolio were 7.2 m/s, below both Q2 2024 and a normal wind year (7.5 m/s).
Revenue was DKK 0.1 billion lower than in Q2 2024 and amounted to DKK 0.6 billion. The decrease was mainly due to the lower generation.
EBITDA increased by DKK 0.2 billion and amounted to DKK 1.2 billion.
EBITDA from 'Sites' amounted to DKK 1.1 billion in Q2 2025, which was DKK 0.1 billion lower than in the same period last year. The decrease was mainly due to the above-mentioned lower availability and wind speeds. This was only partly offset by ramp-up of new generation assets.
EBITDA from 'Other incl. project development' was positive and amounted to DKK 0.1 billion, mainly due to sale of components (mainly high -voltage breakers and main power transformers) during Q2 2025.

Financial results for Q2 2025
Heat generation decreased by 24 % in Q2 2025, mainly due to the shut-down of our coalfired CHPs in Q3 2024, whereas power generation decreased by 41 % compared to Q2 2024.
Gas sales increased by 43 %, driven by our offtake contract with DUC due to ramp-up of production from the Tyra field (not owned by Ørsted).
EBITDA amounted to DKK 0.1 billion compared to DKK 0.0 billion in Q2 2024.
EBITDA from 'CHP plants' was DKK 0.2 billion, DKK 0.1 billion higher than in Q2 2024. This was mainly due to higher achieved prices in the quarter and heat settlements, which was partly offset by a contractual compensation received in Q2 2024 from Energinet for keeping three of our power stations operational until August 2024.
EBITDA from 'Gas Markets & Infrastructure' increased by DKK 0.1 billion to DKK 0.1 billion in Q2 2025. The increase was mainly driven by ramp-up of volumes from our offtake contract with DUC due to ramp-up of production from the Tyra field as mentioned above.
EBITDA from 'Other incl. project development' was DKK -0.2 billion, DKK 0.1 billion more negative than in Q2 2024.

This interim report for the first half year of 2025 comprises the interim financial statements of Ørsted A/S (the parent company) and any subsidiaries controlled by Ørsted A/S.
The interim report has been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the EU, and further requirements in the Danish Financial Statements Act (Årsregnskabsloven) for the presentation of quarterly interim reports by listed companies.
Definitions of non-IFRS financial measures can be found on pages 165, 235, and 236 of the annual report for 2024.
The interim consolidated financial statements for the first half year of 2025 are a condensed set of financial statements, as they do not include all information and disclosures required by the annual financial statements. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as our annual consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2024 and should be read in conjunction with this.
Implementation of new standards, interpretations, and amendments adopted by the Group
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of our annual consolidated financial statements for the year, which ended on 31 December 2024. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation, or amendment that has been issued but not yet entered into effect.
Amendments apply for the first time in 2025 but do not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Revenue from construction agreements was DKK 3,606 million in H1 2025 and mainly related to the construction of Greater
Changhua 4 for partners. In H1 2024, revenue from construction agreements was DKK 3,139 million and mainly related to the construction of Borkum Riffgrund 3 and Gode Wind 3 for partners.
Income from government grants in Offshore decreased compared to the first half year of 2024 due to generally higher power prices, which resulted in a lower subsidy per MWh produced.

Estimation uncertainty and sensitivity analyses
Due to the impairments recognised, estimation uncertainty exists about the assets impaired. The assumptions with major uncertainty include investment tax credits, interest rates, imposed tariffs in the US, and the supply chain.
In the table, we have included sensitivity analyses of impairment effects if WACC levels or assumptions related to ITC bonus credits change.
If WACC had increased by 50 basis points in the impairment test of e.g. Revolution Wind as of 30 June 2025, the impairment loss would have been DKK 0.5 billion higher.
If we had not included the probability-weighted additional 10 % ITC bonus credits in the impairment test of e.g. Revolution Wind as of 30 June 2025, the impairment loss would have been DKK 1.0 billion higher.
4. Impairments (continued)
H1 2025 impairment losses (reversals)
In H1 2025, net impairment reversal was DKK 0.3 billion.
We have updated our impairment tests of our US portfolio as of 30 June 2025, which has resulted in a net reversal of impairments of DKK 0.8 billion in H1 2025.
The net impairment reversal was driven by a decrease in the long-dated interest rate across our US portfolio (DKK 1.5 billion) and positive market price developments (DKK 0.5 billion), partly offset by the 25 % tariff on steel and aluminium that was imposed in the US in March 2025 (DKK 1.2 billion).
The net reversal of impairments on our US portfolio was partly offset by an impairment loss of DKK 0.5 billion on the Hornsea 4 project, caused by the decision to discontinue the project in its current form.
Q2 2025 impairment losses (reversals)
We have recognised net impairment losses of DKK 0.0 million in Q2 2025, comprising an impairment loss of DKK 0.5 billion on the Hornsea 4 project and a net reversal of DKK 0.5 billion on our US onshore portfolio.
The impairment reversal on our US onshore portfolio was driven by positive market price updates.
Tariffs in the US
In March 2025, the US Government imposed a 25 % tariff on imports of steel, aluminium, and certain products containing steel and aluminium. The estimated impact of this tariff resulted in impairments of DKK 1.2 billion in Q1 2025 for our offshore projects Sunrise Wind and Revolution Wind.
Effective from 4 June 2025, the 25 % tariff on imports of steel, aluminium, and certain products containing steel and aluminium was increased to 50 %. In addition, an executive order was signed in April 2025, imposing a 20 % tariff on imports into the US from the European Union, of which 10 % was effective, and the remaining 10 % was postponed. On 27 July 2025, the US entered into a framework trade deal with the European Union, imposing a 15 % tariff on most US imports of EU goods. The 15 % tariff is effective from 7 August 2025.
Based on our current interpretations and assumptions, we estimate a total potential further impairment risk of approx. DKK 1.3 billion related to these tariffs. As a consequence of the uncertainty related to the interpretation, final agreement, and practical implementation of these tariffs, and considering the level of contingencies currently available in our projects, we have not made any additional impairments in Q2 2025.
The impact from these new tariffs involves a number of key estimates and assumptions, which are based on the expected interpretation. Consequently, inherent uncertainties are embedded in the assumptions, which reflect our current best estimate.
Interest rates
The US long-dated interest rate is unchanged from 31 March 2025 to 30 June 2025. In Q1 2025, the effect from decreasing interest rates led to an impairment reversal of DKK 1.5 billion across our US portfolio.
Hornsea 4
On 7 May 2025, we decided to discontinue development of Hornsea 4 in its current form, leading to an impairment of DKK 0.5 billion in Q2 2025.
Potential consequences of further adverse development
In addition to the sensitivities described, further adverse developments may lead us to cease development of or reconfigure projects currently under development. Besides impairing the capitalised value for these projects, ceasing to develop projects could lead to compensation to suppliers or other stakeholders for cancelling contracts. Costs related to cancelling contracts will be recognised as 'Other operating expenses' in our financial statements (part of EBITDA) when the obligation arises and to the extent these exceed already recognised onerous contracts.

Other operating income
In H1 2025, 'Gain on divestment of assets' primarily related to the farm-down of West of Duddon Sands. In H1 2024, 'Gain on divestments of assets' mainly related to the farmdowns completed in prior years.
The increase in 'US tax credits and tax attributes' was driven by continuous commissioning of new onshore assets having full impact from the second half of 2024.
'Compensations' in H1 2025 primarily related to compensation for grid delays related to Borkum Riffgrund 3 from the German transmission system operator.
Other operating expenses
In H1 2025, 'Cancellation fees' was a net income of DKK 0.7 billion and primarily related to a reversal of provision for onerous contracts on Ocean Wind (DKK 1.3 billion), partly offset by the decision to discontinue our Hornsea 4 project in its current form (DKK 0.7 billion). The discontinuation of Hornsea 4 furthermore comprise a DKK 2.2 billion write-down of the offshore transmission asset recognised as 'Cost of sales'. Thus, total EBITDA impact related to Hornsea 4 was DKK 2.9 billion.
In H1 2024, 'Cancellation fees' was a net income of DKK 1.3 billion and related to Ocean Wind as well as the decision to cease the execution of FlagshipONE.

Exchange rate adjustments and hedging contracts entered into to hedge currency risks are presented net under 'Exchange rate adjustments, net'.
In the first half year of 2025, we had a gain in 'Exchange rate adjustments, net' compared to a loss in the first half year of 2024. This development was mostly due to exchange rate adjustments of intercompany balances in holding companies denominated in the subsidiaries' functional currencies. Intercompany payables in GBP generated a translation gain in H1 2025 due to the strengthening of DKK against GBP, contrasting with the losses from it weakening in H1 2024.
The loss in 'Value adjustments of derivatives, net' in H1 2025 was mostly due to the losses in NTD interest rate swaps used as economic hedge for Greater Changhua 2. In H1 2024, we
experienced gains on USD interest rate swaps, which were not repeated in H1 2025.

Effective tax rate
The effective tax rate for the first half year of 2025 was calculated on the basis of the profit (loss) before tax. 'Impairment for the period' includes a net reversal of the unrecognised deferred tax asset related to the impairments on our US projects and an unrecognised deferred tax asset related to the impairment on our Hornsea 4 project. 'Other adjustments' include changes in tax rates, movements in uncertain tax positions, tax concerning previous years, and unrecognised tax losses.
Tax on profit (loss) for the period
Tax on profit (loss) was DKK 870 million for the first half year of 2025 compared to DKK 2,928 million for the first half year of 2024.
Effective tax rate
The effective tax rate for the first half year of 2025 was 10 %. The effective tax rate was
affected by:
- the divestment gain from the 24.5 % farmdown of West of Dudden Sands
- the divestment gain from the 50 % farmdowns of Eleven Mile and Sparta, where DKK 0.6 billion of previously recognised deferred tax liabilities related to tax equity contributions were reversed
- the non-recognition of deferred tax assets related to the impairment of projects and the reversal of cancellation fees in the US
- the non-recognition of deferred tax assets related to impairment losses and cancellation fees regarding the discontinuation of the Hornsea 4 project in its current form.
Accounting policies
Effective tax rate
The estimated average annual tax rate is separated into five different categories: 1) ordinary business activities, 2) gain (loss) on divestments, 3) impacts from tax equity partnerships in the US, 4) impairments, and 5) other adjustments not related to the current year's profit (loss).
10. Market risks
We are exposed to financial and revenue risks in the form of energy price and volume risks, inflation and interest rate risks, commodity price risks, currency risks, credit risks, and liquidity risks as part of our business, hedging, and trading activities. Through our risk management, we monitor and proactively manage the risks according to our risk appetite.
The overall objective of our financial risk management is to:
increase the predictability of our short-term income and construction costs
- protect our current and future investment capacity by stabilising key rating metrics, such as FFO/adjusted interest-bearing net debt
- protect the long-term real value of the shareholders' investment in Ørsted.
For more details on our market risks, please see notes 6.1-6.5 in the annual report for 2024.

All assets and liabilities measured at market value are measured on a recurring basis.
We measure our securities and derivatives at fair value. A number of our derivatives, mainly power purchase agreements, are measured based on unobservable inputs due to the long duration of the contracts.
Valuation principles and process
In order to minimise the use of subjective estimates or modifications of parameters and calculation models, it is our policy to determine fair value based on the external information that most accurately reflects the market values. We use pricing services and
benchmark services to increase the data quality. Market values are determined by the Risk Management function.
We use external price providers to ensure a high quality in our price curves. Where prices are not available, we model the prices based on our prior experience and best estimates. Where relevant and possible, we validate our price curves against third-party data.
Fair value hierarchy
Market values based on quoted prices
comprise quoted securities, gas, and derivatives that are traded in active markets. The market values of derivatives traded in an active market are often settled on a daily basis, thereby minimising the market value presented on the balance sheet.
Market values based on observable inputs comprise derivatives where valuation models with observable inputs are used to measure fair value.
Market values based on non-observable inputs
mainly comprise long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) that lock the power price of the expected power generation over a period of up to 10-20 years. Due to the long duration of these PPAs, power prices are not observable for a large part of the duration. The most significant non-observable inputs are the long-term US power prices (mainly ERCOT) and the German power prices.
Estimating as-produced power prices
Since our PPAs are normally settled on the actual production, and the power prices available in the market are based on constant production (flat profile), we take into account that our expected production is not constant, and thus our PPAs will not be settled against a flat profile price. For the majority of our markets, the flat profile power price can be observed for a maximum of four to six years in the market, after which an active market no longer exists.

If intermittency-adjusted power prices in Germany as of 30 June 2025 decreased/increased by 25 %, the market value would increase/decrease by DKK 1,234 million.
Valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs
We use a discounted cash flow model for the valuation of power derivatives.
The US power purchase agreements require estimation of the long-term US power prices, mainly in the ERCOT, SPP, and MISO regions. The power price is observable for the first four to six years. For the following four to six years, the power price is estimated based on observable inputs (gas prices and heat rates). For the subsequent period, the power price is non-observable and estimated by extrapolating the power price towards the U.S. Energy Information Administration's long-term power price forecast, assuming similar seasonality as in previous periods. As the majority of the remaining contract period is within the period when power prices are non-observable, we classify the contracts as based on nonobservable input.
In Germany and other countries where we have long-term PPA contracts, the power price is observable for up to five years. When power prices are no longer observable in the market, we have estimated the power price by extrapolating the last year with an observable power price, taking expected inflation and seasonality into account.
Acquired CPPAs
The initial negative fair value from long-term PPAs acquired in a business combination is recognised as revenue in profit or loss in the future period to which the market value relates. This effectively increases or decreases the revenue from the contract price to the forward price at the closing date.
In H1 2025, we have recognised an income of DKK 45 million related to the initial fair value from PPAs. The total amount of initial fair value as of 30 June 2025 amounts to a loss of DKK 1,002 million, which will be recognised as revenue in a future period.

Sustainability statements
Total power generation capacity was 12,853 MW at the end of H1 2025.
In Q2 2025, offshore wind generation capacity decreased by 95 MW to 5,435 MW due to the farm-down of a 24.5 % stake at West of Duddon Sands in the UK.
1 Fuel-specific thermal heat and power generation capacities measure the maximum capacity using the specified fuel as primary fuel at the multi-fuel plants. They cannot be added to total thermal capacity, as they are defined individually for each fuel type for our multi-fuel plants. All fuels cannot be used at the same time. Therefore, the total sum amounts to more than 100 %.

Offshore wind power generation was 2 % lower in H1 2025 compared to H1 2024, primarily due to lower wind speeds across our portfolio, except in Taiwan and the US, where generation as well as wind speeds, was higher. This was partly offset by improved availability across the portfolio, with the exception of the Netherlands.
Onshore wind power generation was 2 % lower in H1 2025 compared to H1 2024, primarily due to lower availability across a number of assets in the US.
Power generation from solar PV increased by 38 %, mainly due to higher generation at most of our US assets, namely Mockingbird, commissioned in Q4 2024, Eleven Mile, commissioned in Q2 2024 and Old 300, fully commissioned in Q3 2024 after being partly commissioned in Q1 2023..
Thermal power and heat generation was 15 % and 7 % lower, respectively, in H1 2025 compared to H1 2024, primarily due to the shutdown of our coal-based capacity in H2 2024. In addition, the warmer weather in Q1 2025 resulted in less heat demand and thereby lower generation.

Energy sales
The 20 % increase in gas sales volumes in H1 2025 compared to H1 2024 was primarily driven by higher offtake from DUC due to the ramp-up of production from the Tyra gas field (not owned by Ørsted).
Power sales in H1 2025 were 16 % lower than in H1 2024, mainly due to lower wholesale volumes from offshore wind generation, driven by lower wind speeds.
Share of energy generation
In H1 2025, the renewable share of heat and power generation was 99 %, an increase of 2 percentage points compared to H1 2024.
The main driver for the increased renewable share of heat and power generation was the 2 percentage point decrease in the share of coal-based generation. This was due to the shut-down of the coal-based Esbjerg Power Station in September 2024 as well as our other coal-based generation capacity in Q4 2024.
The share of solar PV-based generation increased by 3 percentage points in H1 2025 compared to H1 2024 due to a 38 % increase in generation, mainly from US solar assets commissioned in H2 2024.

Total energy consumption from nonrenewable sources decreased by 67 % in H1 2025 compared to H1 2024. This reduction was mainly driven by the discontinuation of coal usage at our CHP plants during H2 2024. Additionally, there was lower consumption of natural gas due to unfavourable spreads and lower overall generation volumes.
The decrease was partly offset by a 16 % increase in the consumption of oil at some power plants to deliver ancillary services, as well as a 23 % increase in other fossil sources due to higher fuel consumption by vessels associated with O&M work at offshore wind farms.
Total energy consumption from renewable sources decreased by 3 % in H1 2025 compared to H1 2024, driven by lower biomass usage due to overall lower energy generation at the CHP plants.
In addition, consumption of purchased or acquired electricity from renewable sources
decreased by 31 %, driven by the permanent shut-down of the electric boiler at Esbjerg Power Station, as well as a temporary shut-down of the electric boilers at Studstrup Power Station in H1 2025.

1 We cover 100 % of our own electricity consumption with unbundled renewable electricity certificates.
2 Total GHG emissions including scope 2 GHG emissions measured using the location-based and market-based method, respectively.
3 Calculated using market-based scope 2 emissions.
4 Excludes scope 3 emissions from category 11: use of sold products.
GHG emissions (scopes 1-3)
Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions decreased by 72 % from H1 2024 to H1 2025, driven by the 74 % decrease in the nonrenewable fuels used in the heat and power generation at our CHP plants, where the primary driver was the discontinuation of coal usage in H2 2024.
Scope 3 GHG emissions decreased by 21 % in H1 2025 compared to H1 2024. This was primarily due to significantly lower emissions from capital goods (category 2) as we did not commission as many assets during H1 2025 as we did in H1 2024.
The decrease in scope 3 emissions from capital goods was partly offset by a 35 % increase in use of sold products (category 11). This category usually only includes gas sales,
but in 2025, as part of the closure of the coalbased generation capacity, we are selling the remaining coal that we have in storage. This extraordinary sale of coal will continue until all remaining coal is sold.
GHG emissions intensities
Our scope 1 and 2 GHG intensity of energy generation decreased by 73 % in H1 2025 compared to H1 2024. This was primarily due to the decrease in the use of fossil fuels, slightly offset by a lower total heat and power generation.
Our scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG intensity (excluding emissions from category 11) decreased by 63 % compared to H1 2024 for the same reasons as for scope 1 and 2 GHG intensity, in addition to decreased emissions from capital goods.

Taxonomy-aligned revenue (turnover)
Our taxonomy-aligned share of revenue in H1 2025 was 88 %, a decrease of 3 percentage points compared to H1 2024. This was mainly due to higher non-eligible revenue from gas sales, partly offset by an increase in taxonomy-aligned revenue from wind power.
Taxonomy-aligned CAPEX
Our taxonomy-aligned share of CAPEX in H1 2025 remained at 99 %, primarily related to offshore wind.
Taxonomy-aligned EBITDA
Our taxonomy-aligned share of EBITDA in H1 2025 was 99 %, an increase of 1 percentage point compared to H1 2024. This was mainly due to lower non-eligible EBITDA as well as an increase in taxonomy-aligned EBITDA from wind power.
1 Other activities primarily consist of trading and non-eligible power sales (incl. end customer sales).
2 This ratio is applied to gross investments.

The number of employees was 3 % lower at the end of H1 2025 compared to H1 2024. Our voluntary employee turnover decreased by 1.3 percentage points, whereas the total turn- over increased by 1.2 percentage points com- pared to H1 2024. The reduction in the total number of employees and increased total turnover are related to organisational adjust- ments.

In H1 2025, our total recordable injury rate (TRIR) was at 2.7, which is 29 % higher than in H1 2024. The lost-time injury frequency (LTIF) increased from 0.8 in H1 2024 to 1.7 in H1 2025, an increase of 113 %.
There are several reasons for the increasing TRIR and LTIF that we have experienced over the last few months, one of them being the significantly higher level of contractor activities currently being performed in connection with both the construction and operation of our assets. Total hours worked increased by 22 % in H1 2025, driven by an increase of 49 % in hours worked by contractor employees.
We are constantly analysing our safety per-

formance data to identify areas of concern. Many of the injuries we currently experience are in relation to activities which skilled labour is normally capable of completing safely, for example using tools, mechanical aids, and power tools. To increase awareness on safety, we have launched the programme 'Boost QHSE' to ensure that people who are accountable for safety have the appropriate
knowledge and competences. The programme includes extra training, awareness efforts, and strong management support.
As a result of the Boost QHSE programme, we expect that significantly more injuries will be avoided through stronger risk awareness and strengthened implementation of lessons learnt.
