We have firmed up our outlook on the back of a solid quarter, not least a very good passenger result. Freight markets are currently challenging and we continue to adapt our ferry and road capacity to optimise utilisation.

Key results

Revenue decreased 2% to DKK 7.2bn

EBITDA of DKK 1.6bn on level with 2022

Strong passenger high season​

Ferry CO2 emission intensity reduced 4%

Outlook 2023

The EBITDA outlook is firmed up to DKK 4.9-5.2bn (previously DKK 4.8-5.2bn) as Q3 financial performance was ahead of expectations.

The investment outlook, excluding acquisitions, was reduced to DKK 0.1bn (previously DKK 1.6bn) following the sale and leaseback of three ferries announced in October 2023.
