Kongsberg Automotive initiates turnaround to deliver long-term value

12 Aug 2025 07:00 CEST

Kongsberg, August 12, 2025: Kongsberg Automotive ASA (KA) has released its Q2
report and its financial results.

The Q2 report highlights that the KA turnaround has been initiated and included
the following key initiatives:

· Launched an additional cost reduction program of 15 MEUR annual impact
· Renewed executive leadership team and reinforced KA culture
· Closure of Zurich office
· Consolidation of Sweden plant footprint
· Strategic acquisition of Chassis Autonomy, positioning KA for long-term
growth

Key financial highlights include:

· Revenues reach MEUR 192.4, down 8.1% year-over-year (Q2 2024: MEUR 209.3),
impacted by weaker global automotive markets and negative currency effects of
MEUR -5.5.
· EBIT stands at MEUR -2.9 (Q2 2024: MEUR 6.4), driven by increased warranty
cost accruals (MEUR -8.2) and asset impairments (MEUR -2.9).
· Free cash flow improves to MEUR -0.9 (Q2 2024: MEUR -4.4), significantly
better than Q1 2025 (MEUR -10.5).

KA expects EBIT margin in H2 2025 to exceed both H1 2025 and H2 2024, supported
by operational efficiencies. However, revenues are expected to decline compared
to H1 2025 and H2 2024 due to continued softness in market demand, particularly
in North America. The market outlook for 2026 is positive.

"We have initiated a comprehensive turnaround of KA in the second quarter. We
have taken decisive actions to restore long-term value creation for our
shareholders. These include a new cost reduction program with MEUR 15 annual
impact, restructuring of our organization, and the strategic acquisition of
Chassis Autonomy-a Swedish steer-by-wire technology company that positions KA
for future growth within electric and autonomous vehicles," says Trond Fiskum,
President & CEO.
