Fosnavåg, 21 November 2025: HAV Group ASA (OSE: HAV) delivered significantly
improved revenue and EBITDA-result in this year's third quarter. Revenue ended
at NOK 193.7 million, a 44 percent increase from the same quarter last year
(134.8). EBITDA* improved to NOK 1.5 million from NOK -24.8 million last year.
HAV Group's order intake was NOK 171 million in the third quarter (70), driven
by new contracts in the energy design and smart control systems business. At the
end of September, HAV Group's order backlog stood at NOK 1,266 million (1,322).
"We deliver considerably improved numbers compared to the third quarter last
year, and the fourth quarter in a row with positive EBITDA-result. Our energy
design and smart control business is the big positive, while we are working hard
to improve our performance in our other business areas," says Gunnar Larsen, CEO
of HAV Group.
HAV Group's energy design and smart control systems business is currently the
group's main driver of revenue, profitability and order intake. The business
area won two important contracts with Tersan Shipyard in Turkey during the third
quarter and has won a contract with Fitjar Mekaniske Verksted subsequent to the
end of the quarter.
Both HAV Group's water treatment business and ship design business delivered
negative EBITDA numbers in the third quarter. Encouragingly, the water treatment
business continues to win work in the aquaculture industry, with another project
win announced on 13 November 2025. The financial results of HAV Group's ship
design business are still negatively impacted by low workforce utilisation.
HAV Group reported revenue of NOK 193.7 million (134.8) in this year's third
quarter. EBITDA was NOK 1.5 million (-24.8), with a net profit of NOK -4.2
million (-19). HAV Group maintains a strong balance sheet with a cash balance of
NOK 271 million (148.8) and interest-bearing debt of NOK 1 million as of 30
September 2025.
OUTLOOK
The green transition, stricter regulations, and increasing competition continue
to shape the maritime industry. HAV Group is well positioned to address these
challenges with technology that enhances vessel operations, profitability, and
environmental performance.
While geopolitical uncertainty and tariff issues create headwinds, the global
shipbuilding market is predicted to remain at a stable level in the coming
years. HAV Group's main market presence in the European and Norwegian markets
reduces exposure to transcontinental trade conflicts.
HAV Group expects that Q4 will be the strongest quarter in 2025. The positive
development seen in 2025 is expected to continue in 2026, driven by contract
wins with corresponding margin improvements.
