Vow ASA: Expected non-cash accounting impairment
Oslo, 27 January 2026: (OSE ticker: VOW) Following a reassessment of assumptions applied in the impairment test for the Industrial Solutions segment and reflecting a more cautious outlook on the timing of market adoption, management in Vow ASA (the “Group” or the “Company”) expects a non-cash accounting impairment of intangible assets in the range of NOK 100–120 million.
Management continues to see significant long-term potential in the Industrial Solutions markets; however, as with early-stage and emerging markets, visibility on the pace of technology adoption remains limited.
The impairment will be accounted for in the financial statements for fourth quarter 2025. The Group will publish its results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 on 25 February 2026, at 07:00 CET.
