Key takeaways
Revenue for the first three months of 2026 increased by EUR 59 million to EUR 125 million compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by higher contracted days following fleet expansion.
Revenue increase driven by higher contracted days from an expanded fleet, despite utilisation declining as available days increased faster due to fleet expansion and transition activity. Fleet utilisation decreased to 47.6% compared to 55.3% in Q1 2025 with adjusted utilisation of 77.7%
compared to 79.4% in Q1 2025.
Cost of sales increased by EUR 53 million to EUR 98 million, driven mainly by the addition of three new operating vessels (Wind Ally, Wind Mover and Wind Keeper) compared to seven vessels in operation in the prior year.
SG&A increased as the organisation scaled onshore functions to meet the demands of an expanded fleet and continued project growth.
EBITDA increased by EUR 23 million to EUR 47 million, driven by higher revenue despite lower utilisation.
Vessel OpEx per day increased, driven by temporary project preparation costs and a small number of one-off items in Q1.

Market outlookMomentum in offshore wind continues to build, with increasing visibility into demand
Recent development
Recent geopolitical tensions are increasingly pointing toward the demand for locally-produced energy, energy security and affordability
The positive momentum continues to build as the focus in Europe is gradually shifting towards the market post 2030 - we expect strong growth towards the end of the decade and beyond 2030
Long-term visibility has significantly improved: new tenders with supportive terms are accelerating as an increasing number of governments are adopting longer-term CfDs
UK AR8 moved forward to July 2026 and confirmed additional GBP 200m budget for Clean Industry Bonus
France is planning to award around 10 GW of offshore wind
capacity through the combined AO9 and AO10 tenders to drive
scale and enable faster offshore deployment
