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 EQVA's
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.
The record high order book for the Industrial Solutions segment stood at NOK 973
million at the end of Q3 2025 (orderbook of Austevoll Rørteknikk not included),
up 4 per cent from Q2 2025. The solid order book supports expectations of
continued high activity level in 2026.
Acquisition of Austevoll Rørteknikk closed
The Austevoll Rørteknikk (ART) transaction was closed at the beginning of Q4
2025. EQVA is already leveraging ART's strong position in the aquaculture sector
through collaboration with EQVA's portfolio company BKS. In collaboration, ART
and BKS Industri have secured two contracts of significant size within
land-based aquaculture. These projects demonstrate the combined capabilities of
the two companies and highlight EQVA's strengthened offering across both sea-
and land-based aquaculture.
Appointment of Chief Executive Officer
Olav Hilmar Koløy has commenced his position as CEO of EQVA, effective from 13
November 2025.
