EQVA ASA: Third quarter results 2025 – Strong performance and revenue growth 14 NOV 2025 07:00 CET ISSUER EQVA ASA 14 November 2025: EQVA ASA (OSE: EQVA) delivered solid performance in Q3 2025, driven by our Industrial Solutions segment. On a pro forma basis, YTD revenues as of Q3 2025 were NOK 1 079 million, up 44 per cent compared to the same period last year (NOK 751 million). The pro forma EBITDA increased to NOK 105 million, from NOK 70 million in the same period last year. The development reflects strong operational performance in BKS as well as IMTAS, which became part of EQVA at the end of Q1 2025. The pro forma figures include profit and loss from the IMTAS Group from 1 January 2025. The company was acquired in March 2025. The profit from the sale off Vassnes group in Q1 2025 is also incorporated in the Q1 pro forma report and presented as other income. “We are pleased with the continued strong performance in the third quarter of 2025. The revenue growth of 44 per cent highlights the solid progress made in our Industrial Solutions segment. We are also pleased to have successfully completed the acquisition of Austevoll Rørteknikk, which strengthens EQVAʼs capabilities within the aquaculture segment and creates new opportunities for growth. These developments demonstrate that EQVA is steadily building a stronger and more diversified platform for long-term value creation for our shareholders,” says Tore Thorkildsen, CEO of EQVA. Operational highlights EQVA's main operating segment, Industrial Solutions, delivered record-high pro forma YTD revenues of NOK 1 040 million as of Q3 2025, a growth of 52 per cent from the same period last year. EBITDA for the segment increased to NOK 93 million, up from NOK 51 million in the same period last year. The EBITDA margin was 9.0 per cent, compared to 7.5 per cent in the same period last year. The strong performance was driven by high activity levels, solid project execution across the portfolio, and contribution from the IMTAS Group.
