Vestas Annual Report 2025 – Generating value amidst growing uncertainty

Summary: For the year 2025, Vestas achieved revenue of EUR 18,822m (outlook: EUR 18.5-19.5bn), with an EBIT margin before special items of 5.7 percent (outlook: 5-6 percent), and total investments of EUR 1,251m (outlook: approx. EUR 1.2bn). The value of the combined order backlog across Power Solutions and Service increased to EUR 71.9bn.

Our financial outlook for 2026 is as follows: Revenue is expected to range between EUR 20-22bn, with an EBIT margin before special items of 6-8 percent. Total investments are expected to amount to approx. EUR 1.2bn in 2026.

The Service segment is expected to generate an EBIT margin before special items of 15.5-17.5 percent in 2026.

As a result of the performance in 2025, the Board of Directors of Vestas Wind Systems A/S proposes to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend of DKK 0.74 per share be distributed to the shareholders. In addition, a share buyback of EUR 150m will be initiated.

Henrik Andersen, Group President & CEO said: "Vestas achieved our highest ever revenue and profitability in the upper end of our outlook, representing a solid result in a volatile global business environment. Growth across Onshore, Offshore and Service ensured revenue of EUR 18.8bn, while our EBIT margin of 5.7 percent was driven by continued improvement in Onshore execution and Service EBIT in line with expectations. The strong performance in Onshore was underlined by absorbing the continued extra costs and investments related to the ramp-up in Offshore and executing our Service recovery plan. The growing need for affordable, secure, and sustainable energy helped us achieve an order intake of 16.3 GW, leading to an all-time high combined order backlog of EUR 71.9bn. Based on our 2025 results and strong cash flow, we are pleased to return further value to our shareholders for the second quarter in a row by proposing a dividend of DKK 0.74 per share and initiating a share buyback of EUR 150m. We want to thank our customers, partners, shareholders, and our 37,000 colleagues for their continued support and dedication."

Key highlights

All-time high revenue from growth in both segments, and profitability achieved in upper end of Outlook.

Service EBIT of EUR 626m

Delivered on the revised Service EBIT guidance, however, the outcome fell short of performance targets.

Order intake of 16.3 GW leading to record high order backlog

Higher Onshore activity, especially in EMEA, was offset by lower Offshore orders in the year.

Manufacturing ramp-up leading to extra costs and investments

Progress made despite persistent challenges, with further improvements expected in 2026.

Returning value to our shareholders

A dividend of DKK 0.74 per share is proposed, and a share buyback of EUR 150m will be initiated.

Fourth quarter 2025

Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025 amounted to EUR 6,270m (Q4 2024: EUR 6,141m), an increase of 2.1 percent. The increased revenue was primarily driven by Offshore projects in Power Solutions. Service revenue decreased by 16.3 percent from both lower contract activity and transactional sales. EBIT before special items amounted to EUR 580m in the fourth quarter of 2025, equivalent to an EBIT margin before special items of 9.3 percent (Q4 2024: EUR 759m; 12.4 percent). EBIT decreased by 3.1 percentage points compared to 2024, primarily driven by Offshore manufacturing ramp-up costs and higher amortisations/depreciations. This was partially offset by continued improved profitability and

The 2025 number without biogenic emissions is 6.37. 4 TRIR and LTIR figures have been restated for 2024 to 2.7 (from 3.0) and 1.1 (from 1.2), respectively, following the implementation of an improved methodology for calculating working hours (used as the denominator).

strong project execution in Onshore. Lower Service revenue also negatively impacted EBIT compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.

The quarterly intake of firm and unconditional wind turbine orders amounted to 6,542 MW (Q4 2024: 6,516 MW), on par with last year. The value of the wind turbine order backlog was EUR 33.2bn as at 31 December 2025. In addition to the wind turbine order backlog, at the end of the quarter, Vestas had service agreements with expected contractual future revenue of EUR 38.7bn. Thus, the value of the combined backlog of wind turbine orders and service agreements stood at EUR 71.9bn – an increase of EUR 3.5bn compared to the year-earlier period.

Outlook 2026

Although ongoing geopolitical and tariff risks are likely to cause uncertainty, we expect revenue growth in 2026, driven by Power Solutions. Profitability is expected to improve, driven by revenue growth, progress in the manufacturing ramp-up, continued good project execution, and cost-out initiatives across the Vestas organisation.

Revenue is expected to range between EUR 20-22bn, with an EBIT margin before special items of 6- 8 percent. Total investments1 are expected to amount to approx. EUR 1.2bn in 2026.

The Service segment is expected to generate an EBIT margin before special items of 15.5-17.5 percent in 2026.

The above expectations are based on the assumption that the global geopolitical environment will not significantly change business conditions for Vestas during 2026, including energy or supply chain disruptions, changes to the regulatory environment, or other external conditions, such as bad weather, exchange rates, lack of grid connections and similar. In relation to forecasts on financials from Vestas in general, it should be noted that Vestas' accounting policies only allow the recognition of revenue when the control has passed to the customer, either at a point in time or over time.
