Comments from CEO Egil Hogna:
"Norconsult delivered solid organic growth and improved profitability in the
third quarter of 2025, a quarter influenced by seasonality and summer holidays
in the Nordic region. A key milestone this quarter was the completion of the
acquisition of Aas-Jakobsen Group, which is the largest acquisition in our
history. This milestone strengthens our position in advanced infrastructure and
building projects, and marks an important step toward our ambition of
becoming one of the top three interdisciplinary consultancy firms in the
Nordic."
Outlook:
The overall market is expected to continue stable, but with continued
uncertainty linked to the international political situation.
The private market for Buildings & Architecture is still slow but there are
signs of optimism. However, it will likely still take some time before this
materialises into increased activity. The demand in Infrastructure is expected
to be stable going forward. We continue to expect a high level of activity in
the energy sector, and a more mixed development in other industry markets as
geopolitical factors may delay investment decisions in certain market areas.
Norconsult has considerable flexibility with a diversified mix of services and
end-market exposures in the Nordics. Most of the demand for our services comes
from the public sector. This makes Norconsult less exposed towards short-term
cyclicality in the economy in general.
Norconsult will continue to take proactive measures to improve underlying
profitability and maintain efficiency in selected parts of the business.
