{13}------------------------------------------------

EBITDA, Net profit and ROCE

EBITDA excl. new partnerships and cancellation fees DKKbn

EBITDA of DKK 8.1 bn

  • Offshore increased from higher wind speeds and ramp-up generation
  • Onshore decreased from lower production
  • Bioenergy & Other decreased from less heat generation due to warm weather

Net profit DKKbn

Net profit of DKK -3.4 bn

Adjusted ROCE1

Adjusted ROCE1 of 8.4 %

  • Decrease driven by higher capital employed into assets under construction
  • Reported ROCE of 5.4 % in 2025, below expected level primarily due to impairments
  • Expected average ROCE for 2026-2027 of ~11 % and for 2028-2030 of >13 %

  • Cash flow contribution from operational earnings, 50% farm-down of Hornsea 3 with related working capital improvements from transmission asset
  • Divestments proceeds from partial stakes divested in Hornsea 3 and Badger Wind
  • Gross investments into construction of our renewable portfolio
  • Other relates to exchange rate adjustments, to lease obligations as well as payments of minority interest and coupon payments.

FFO / Adjusted NIBD1

%, End of quarter

Credit metric at 43 %

  • Increase in credit metric mainly due to lower net debt as a result of the rights issue and divestments in 2025
  • Target to be above 30 %

{15}------------------------------------------------

Successfully delivered on targeted divestments for 2025 and 2026 with proceeds significantly above target

DKK ~46 billion of proceeds secured, ensuring meaningful progress on strengthening of the balance sheet

Strong delivery in securing proceeds of more than DKK 35 billion in 2025-2026

Upon closing of remaining transactions, expected during 2026, proceeds within the partnership and divestment programme will total DKK ~46 billion

Together with the completion of the rights issue, this progress has strengthened the balance sheet and increased financial robustness

Net impairment loses of DKK 3.6 bn

Impairment losses in 2025 mainly driven by:

  • 50 % tariff on steel and aluminium and the reciprocal tariffs that were imposed in the US in 2025 (DKK 3.7 billion)
  • Impact from the stop-work order on Revolution Wind in August 2025 (DKK 0.5 billion) in Q3 2025
  • Impact from the lease suspension orders issued in December 2025 to Revolution Wind and Sunrise Wind (DKK 0.6 billion) in Q4 2025
  • Signed agreement to divest European Onshore business. This has resulted in an impairment loss (DKK 1.6 billion) in Q4 2025 on goodwill
  • Based on decision to discontinue Hornsea 4 in its current form, an impairment (DKK 0.5 billion) was recognised in Q2 2025
  • Partly offset by a decrease in interest rate across our US portfolio (DKK -2.7 billion) and positive market price developments (DKK -0.5 billion)

Key financial exposures from revenues in 2026-2030

Inflation-indexed revenue

Fixed nominal revenue Merchant revenue

  • Prioritize inflation-indexed revenue to protect against cost inflation and higher cost of capital
  • Inflation-indexed revenue more than covers the operational expenditures subject to inflation risk1
  • Fixed-rate debt used to de-risk fixed nominal revenue from assets in operation and under construction
  • Interest rate swaps used to lock in interest rates in advance of issuing fixed-rate debt
  • Remaining short-term merchant exposure after derisking through PPAs and fixed volume hedges

{28}------------------------------------------------

Risk management of interest rate- and inflation risk

Fixed-rate debt and hedges used to protect fixed nominal cash flows against interest rate increases

Net inflation-linked operational cash flows in the period 2026- 2030 protect against cost inflation

Hybrid capital in short

Hybrid capital can broadly be defined as funding instruments that combine features of debt and eaulty in a cost-efficient manner:

  • Hybrid capital encompasses the creditsupportive features of equity and improves rating ratios
  • Perpetual or long-dated final maturity (1,000 years for Ørsted)
  • Absolute discretion to defer coupon payments and such deferrals do not constitute default nor triager cross-default
  • Deeply subordinated and only senior to common equity
  • Without being dilutive to equity holders (no ownership and voting rights, no right to dividend).

Due to hybrid's equity-like features, rating agencies assign 50% equity content to the hybrids when calculating central rating ratios (e.g. FFO/NIBD).

The hybrid capital increases Ørsted's investment capacity and supports our growth strategy and rating target.

Ørsted has made use of hybrid capital to maintain our ratings at target level since the merger with Danish power distribution and production companies back in 2006 and in recent years to support our growth in the offshore wind sector.

Accounting treatment

  • Hybrid bonds are classified as equity
  • Coupon payments are recognised in equity and do not have any effect on profit (loss) for the year
  • Coupon payments are recognised in the statement of cash flows in the same way as dividend payments
  • For further information see note 5.3 in the 2025 Annual Report.

Installed renewable capacity

The installed renewable capacity is calculated as renewable capacity installed by Ørsted accumulated over time. We include all capacities after commercial operation date (COD) has been reached, and where we had an ownership share and an EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) role in the project. Capacities from acquisitions are added to the installed capacity. For installed renewable thermal capacity, we use the heat capacity, as heat is the primary outcome of thermal energy generation, and as bioconversions of the combined heat and power plants are driven by heat contracts.

Decided (FID'ed) renewable capacity

Decided (FID'ed) capacity is renewable capacity where a final investment decision (FID) has been made.

Sustainability as a key enabler for the renewable energy transition

GLOBALLY RECOGNISED SUSTAINABILITY LEADER

Our strategic aspiration is to continue to be a global leader within offshore wind. A key pillar in this aspiration is to be a globally recognised sustainability leader.

We are committed to develop, construct, and operate our assets in a sustainable way.

This enables us to mitigate risks and deliver more resilient energy projects that also drive a positive change for society and nature.

To drive this, we have three strategic sustainability priorities: decarbonisation (incl. circularity), biodiversity, and community impact.

Reduce all GHG emissions to netzero by 2040 while driving demand for our renewable energy solutions

  • Today: No landfill of blades and solar PVs1
  • 2025: 93 % emissions reduction (scope 1-2)2
  • 2030: 77 % emissions reduction (scope 1-3)3
  • 2040: Net-zero emissions (scope 1-3)

Deliver net-positive biodiversity impact to help protect nature and enable project delivery

Taking action for a resilient renewable energy transition

Industry-leading sustainability initiatives ESG rating performance

Decarbonisation

We continue working towards our 2040 science-based net-zero target (scope 1-3). Key initiatives include:

  • Following the phase-out of coal in 2024, achieving our 2025 targets of a 98 % reduction in scope 1-2 emissions intensity (from 2006) and a 99 % renewable energy share.
  • Strengthening our internal net-zero roadmap and climate governance, outlining responsibilities and actions to be taken prior to 2030 to make progress towards delivering on our 2040 target.
  • Continuing supply chain collaboration for lower-emission solutions, including our partnership with Dillinger to secure access to its first batches of lower-emission steel.

Biodiversity

We continue working towards our ambition that all new renewable energy projects commissioned from 2030 will have a net-positive biodiversity impact. Key initiatives include:

  • Continuing biodiversity efforts, including ReCoral and seabird habitat restoration in Taiwan, while developing the first initiatives for projects commissioned after 2030.
  • Demonstrating the positive biodiversity impacts from our blue bond through the publication of our first public Summarised Blue Bond Impacts
  • Completing Step 1 (Assess) of SBTN's five-step process for setting science-based targets for nature by submitting our preliminary assessment for validation.

Community impact

We are committed to providing tangible benefits to local communities. Key initiatives include:

  • Expanding workforce development efforts by signing a Memorandum of Understanding with TAFE Gippsland and Federation University to support the growth of Australia's offshore wind workforce.
  • Extending the Choczewo Community Benefit Fund in Poland for two years to support local projects focused on community development and environmental protection.
  • Advancing community investments in the UK through a partnership with Horizon Youth Zone in Grimsby and our Community Benefit Funds, supporting nearly 900 community-led projects.
