2023 financial outlook
The financial outlook was updated in Company Announcement No. 25 of 15 August 2023.

Revenues (std. metal prices) are expected to be approx. EUR 1.8-1.9bn and operational EBITDA
is expected to be approx. EUR 215-245m (previously approx. EUR 200-230m).

Continued double-digit growth in both revenues and operational EBITDA
In Q2 2023, NKT’s revenues (in std. metal prices) grew by EUR 87m compared to Q2 2022, corresponding to 26% organic growth. The improvement was driven by increased revenues in all three business lines.

Correspondingly, operational EBITDA increased to a record-high EUR 58.0m in Q2 2023, up by EUR 16.7m from Q2 2022. The improved financial performance was mainly driven by continued strong execution and utilization of expanded capacity in Solutions, as well as solid performance in Applications. The all-time high level of execution of projects in the high-voltage order backlog in Solutions combined with continued recovery in Applications lifted the earnings level. The improvement in Service & Accessories was more moderate due to limited offshore repair work conducted in Q2 2023.

In Q2 2023, the high-voltage order backlog took another step up to a new record-high level of EUR 7.6bn (EUR 7.0bn in std. metal prices). Projects awarded in the quarter included two turnkey high-voltage power cable projects for the Biscay Gulf Interconnector between France and Spain and for East Anglia THREE in the UK, respectively. NKT was also awarded the contract for offshore export power cables for Baltic Power, the first major wind farm in Poland.
