In the fourth quarter, KONGSBERG, including Kongsberg Maritime, delivered a revenue growth of 21 per cent compared with the same period in 2024. Profitability increased as a result of an favourable project mix and high volume in Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace. At year-end, the Group had a total order backlog of NOK 157 billion. Of this, NOK 130 billion will remain with KONGSBERG going forward, while the remainder pertains to Kongsberg Maritime. I have not ever, in my ten years as CEO or a total of over 30 years in the Group, experienced such demand. Our customers are looking for solutions to address safety challenges, ensure energy efficiency in operations, and get support to make the right decisions. On the one hand, it provides security in relation to the number of assignments in the future, on the other hand, it is a major commitment we have undertaken. This makes me both proud and humble.
2026 will be a historic and exciting year. In April, Kongsberg Maritime will be separated from today's Group and listed as an independent company.
The two companies operate in different international markets in a world characterized by increased geopolitical tensions, trade conflicts and uncertainty. This places different demands on the two businesses, both in terms of strategic priorities and
business models, emphasizing the importance of adapting quickly to changing customer needs and value chains. Separately, the companies will have better room for manoeuvre and stronger execution capability in their respective markets. This will enhance their competitiveness as they continue creating value in a world where security and sustainability will be strong driving forces in the coming
decades.
The results, order backlog and market positions at the end of 2025 provide a solid foundation for the two soon-to-be independent listed companies.
