About this update from Kongsberg Gruppen Asa

‌2nd quarter/ 1st half 2026 ‌Explanation of the Report At the Extraordinary General Meeting of Kongsberg Gruppen ASA on 22 January 2026, the demerger of Kongsberg Maritime was formally approved. Kongsberg Maritime ASA was listed as an independent company on the Oslo Stock Exchange on 23 April 2026. Consequently, Kongsberg Maritime was part of KONGSBERG during the first 22 days of the second quarter of 2026. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, Kongsberg Maritime is presented as a discontinued operation. The figures presented on pages 4-11 therefore include only the Company's continuing operations, even though Kongsberg Maritime remained part of KONGSBERG until its listing on 23 April 2026. Refer to Note 9 for a more detailed description of how Kongsberg Maritime has been reflected in the financial statements and notes. KONGSBERG is organised and reports through its three business areas: Defence Systems, Missiles & Aerostructures, and Discovery. As Joint Ventures (JVs) and strategic partnerships represent an increasingly important part of KONGSBERG's business model, the business areas have overall responsibility for managing and developing these activities. Consequently, reported revenue, EBITDA, EBIT, order intake and order backlog include proportional figures from Joint Ventures in which KONGSBERG holds a 50 percent ownership interest and exercises significant operational influence. This includes, among others, Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT) within Discovery and kta Naval Systems (KTA) within Defence Systems. In this quarterly report, all figures presented up to the section entitled "Figures and Notes", unless otherwise stated, include proportional figures from these companies. The restated figures are defined as alternative performance measures (APMs). This reporting approach improves alignment between internal and external reporting and provides a more transparent, nuanced and comprehensive view of the Group's operations and overall performance. These reporting principles were implemented effective from the first quarter of 2026 and continue to be applied in this report. KONGSBERG / Defence Systems / Missiles & Aerostructures / Discovery / Outlook / Numbers & notes Eirik Lie, CEO ‌KONGSBERG KONGSBERG delivered a strong second quarter, characterised by revenue growth and solid profitability. Business activity remained high, and during the quarter we secured new orders valued at NOK 17 billion, resulting in a record-high order backlog of NOK 158 billion. Delivering on the order backlog remains our top priority and provides the foundation for continued profitable growth. In the second quarter, KONGSBERG delivered revenue growth of 31 per cent compared with the same period in 2025. Profitability development was strong, with EBIT increasing by 49 per cent, driven by higher volumes and solid project execution across the company. Performance was particularly supported by revenue growth from major air defence, counter-drone and missile programmes. Activity levels remained high across all three divisions. At our Capital Markets Day on 10 June, we announced new financial ambitions: KONGSBERG aims to triple revenues to NOK 100 billion by 2029 and to NOK 150 billion by 2033. Over the same period, we target an operating margin of at least 16 percent. The order backlog and order intake in the second quarter provide strong visibility for growth within our core product areas, including missiles, air defence systems and weapon stations, in the years ahead. The quarter included several significant contract awards. Activity related to the Joint Strike Missile (JSM) was particularly strong, with increased sales to the United States and Germany, while Canada became the sixth nation to select the JSM. During the quarter, we also announced a significant agreement with Raytheon for the delivery of NASAMS air defence systems to Kuwait. The order intake will be recognised upon contract finalisation. In addition to growth within our core product portfolio, we are well positioned in what we describe as the defence industry's new technological frontiers: space and subsea operations. It was therefore encouraging that we secured several new contracts during the second quarter, including contracts for the protection of critical subsea infrastructure. We continue to see growing demand for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) within the HUGIN family, across both civilian and military markets, including from the U.S. Navy. In early July, industry leaders, defence ministers and heads of state gathered at the NATO Summit in Ankara, Türkiye. The emphasis on closer cooperation between nations through joint procurement programmes and greater harmonisation of systems and solutions is something we view positively. In addition, several countries announced substantial investments in strengthening their national defence capabilities. One example is Canada's selection of the 212CD submarine, where KONGSBERG is a key supplier. Another was Belgium's announcement of a cooperation agreement with the Netherlands for the procurement of NASAMS systems. The messages from the NATO Summit were clear: Europe continues to invest in its defence capabilities, and the need for increased industrial capacity is growing. The war in Ukraine continues to demonstrate the importance of air defence, missile systems and counter-drone capabilities, as well as the critical need for missile production at scale. The acquisition of Zone 5 Technologies, completed on 9 June, complements our product portfolio. It provides KONGSBERG with a range of solutions spanning from highly advanced missile systems to products designed for high-volume production. The combination of cutting-edge technology and scalable manufacturing, together with expertise spanning both civilian technology development and defence applications, makes KONGSBERG uniquely positioned within our industry. Strong market demand and an order backlog of NOK 158 billion position us well for further growth. Together with our suppliers, we have the capacity to deliver on our current order backlog and meet future demand. Geopolitical instability and conflict continue to shape the global landscape and underscore why KONGSBERG exists. Together with our customers and partners, we contribute to safeguarding national security, critical infrastructure and societal resilience. KONGSBERG / Defence Systems / Missiles & Aerostructures / Discovery / Outlook / Numbers & notes Revenues 10,389 7,915 5,965 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 2024 2025 2026 ‌Highlights and key figures / Second quarter KONGSBERG 1) Financial key figures second quarter → Revenues of MNOK 10,389, an increase of 31 per cent compared to the second quarter 2025. → EBIT of MNOK 1,669 in the quarter, up from MNOK 1,121 in the second quarter 2025 . → EBIT margin of 16.1 per cent in the quarter Market and order intake → Solid order intake of MN OK 17,067 across all divisions → Continued growth in the order backlog, which now amounts to MNOK 157,540 → High activity levels and strong interest in the company's overall product portfolio 1) Figures include the proportional share of 50/50 joint ventures 28% 59% 2026 2027 2028+ 13% Order backlog Breakdown by delivery date Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 2024 2025 2026 788 1,121 1,669 14.2% 13.2% 16.1% EBIT % EBIT Orders Order intake Order backlog 157,540 116,608 79,366 17,067 11,306 11,188 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 2024 2025 2026 EBIT KONGSBERG / Defence Systems / Missiles & Aerostructures / Discovery / Outlook / Numbers & notes ‌Revenues and order intake Revenues in 2nd quarter was MNOK 10,389 compared to MNOK 7,915 in the same quarter last year, representing in increase of 31 per cent. Growth was recorded across all divisions. Particularly strong performance was delivered in Defence Systems, which achieved revenue growth of 53%, driven by higher activity in air defence and weapon station programmes. Missiles & Aerostructures increased revenues by 19%, per cent, reflecting increased missile production. Discovery recorded growth of 21% per cent supported by higher volumes within space solutions and surveillance systems, including increased production of small satellites. For the firs half year, revenues amounted to MNOK 19,623 compared to MNOK 15,230, representing growth of 29 per cent. EBIT in the second quarter was MNOK 1,669 , corresponding to an EBIT-margin an 16.1 per cent compared with MNOK 1,121 (14.2 per cent) in the same quarter last year. The improvement was driven by a combination of higher volumes, strong project execution and continued cost efficiency. Defence Systems increased EBIT by 38 percent, supported by positive developments within weapon station programmes. The EBIT margin was 17.7 percent, compared with 19.6 percent in the corresponding period last year, reflecting changes in the product and project mix, including projects related to Norwegian donations to Ukraine. Missiles & Aerostructures increased EBIT by 18 per cent. The EBIT margin was 16.9 percent, compared with 17.1 percent in the same quarter last year. The business area continues to demonstrate solid operational leverage. At the same time, Zone 5 Technologies is in the process of scaling up production in the United States, which has a temporary adverse effect on margins. Discovery delivered EBIT growth of 5 percent compared with the corresponding quarter last year, with an EBIT margin of 15.3 percent, versus 17.6 percent in the prior-year period. The division is experiencing short-term margin fluctuations as a result of the relocation to new facilities to support future growth. Adjusted for these effects, the EBIT margin was 16.5 per cent. EBIT for 1the first half of 2026 was MNOK 3,206, corresponding to an EBIT-margin of 16.3 per cent , compared to MNOK 2,110 (13.9 per cent) in the same period last year. This represents an increase of 52 per cent. The EBIT margin for KONGSBERG is dependent on the underlying project mix and is therefore expected to vary between reporting periods. Order intake in 2nd quarter was MNOK 17,067, compared with MNOK 11,188 for the same quarter last year. This resulted in a book/bill ratio for the quarter of 1.64. The majority of order intake during the quarter was related to the Joint Strike Missile (JSM), driven by follow-on orders from existing customers and Canada becoming the sixth nation to acquire this capability. At the same time, activity levels remained high across both product areas and business units. Order intake is expected to continue to fluctuate significantly between quarters. Order intake for the first half of 2026 was MNOK 43,608, compared with MNOK 23,692 in the corresponding period last year. The company's order backlog at the end of the first quarter of 2026 was MNOK 157,540 , an increase of MNOK 5,565 in the quarter, and an increase of MNOK 40,932 since second quarter 2025. The order backlog extends well into the future, providing strong visibility and predictability. Market KONGSBERG develops and delivers equipment and technology to the Norwegian Armed Forces and Norway's allies. NATO member states continue to invest in and strengthen their defence capabilities, resulting in significant demand across the Company's product portfolio. KONGSBERG's market-leading solutions in missiles, air defence systems and weapon stations address some of the most critical defence requirements facing nations today. We also see increasing demand for security-related capabilities in both the subsea and space domains, where KONGSBERG is strongly positioned. Market activity remains high, with a continuous pipeline of campaigns and procurement processes. KONGSBERG works proactively to strengthen and expand its market positions, both through follow-on sales to existing customers and by increasing the number of nations adopting the Company's various solutions. During the quarter, KONGSBERG secured three major contracts related to the Joint Strike Missile (JSM): NOK 4.7 billion contract for the delivery of JSMs to Canada NOK 3.5 billion contract for the delivery of JSMs to Germany NOK 2.7 billion contract for the delivery of JSMs to the U.S. Air Force Other significant contract awards during the quarter: A contract signed by Discovery with an undisclosed international customer for solutions related to the monitoring and protection of critical subsea infrastructure. An agreement with Raytheon to initiate work on the delivery of NASAMS air defence systems to Kuwait under the U.S. Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Programme. The agreement allows KONGSBERG to begin project execution and secure timely delivery schedules. The related order intake and order backlog will be recognised upon formal contract award. In addition to the contracts highlighted above, KONGSBERG secured a number of smaller contracts during the quarter that are not individually announced to the market. This is particularly characteristic of Discovery, where a significant share of business is driven by smaller contract awards, although such contracts also contribute to activity in the other business areas. The share of non-announced contracts during the quarter was in line with historical levels. KONGSBERG is investing to meet the evolving requirements of its customers while strengthening its long-term strategic position. Together with German industry partners, we are developing the next-generation supersonic 3SM missile, further expanding our missile portfolio. Within air defence, our ambition is to evolve NASAMS towards a full-spectrum air defence solution capable of addressing an increasingly diverse threat landscape. We are also working closely with German partners to establish a strong position within Space for Defence. In parallel, we continue to enhance our sensor and subsea technologies, strengthening the HUGIN family's ability to operate with greater effectiveness, precision and autonomy in increasingly demanding environments. By combining a focus on near-term market opportunities with targeted investments in future technologies and strategic partnerships, KONGSBERG aims to secure sustainable growth and reinforce its long-term competitive position. Cash flow (excluding Joint Ventures) Cash and cash equivalents totalled MNOK 4,859 at the end of the second quarter, compared with MNOK 19,319 (including the maritime business) at the end of the first quarter, reflecting a decrease of MNOK -14,460 during the quarter and a decrease of MNOK -16,192 during the first half year. Net cash flow from operating activities amounted to NOK -1,934million in the quarter and NOK -2,115 million for the first half year. The negative operating cash flow is mainly due to the demerger effect of Kongsberg Maritime. Cash flow from investing activities was MNOK -3,703 in the second quarter and NOK -4,292 million for the first half of 2026. The cash outflow primarily reflects acquisitions (see Note 7), together with continued investments in capacity expansion and product development to support future growth. Cash flow from financing activities amounted to MNOK -6,173 in the second quarter and MNOK -6,900 for the first half of 2026. The cash outflow primarily reflects the payment of dividends of MNOK 5 013 and the repayment of the NOK 1,000 million KOG09 bond. In addition, the MNOK 500 KOG14 bond was repaid in the first quarter. The remaining outflow mainly relates to lease obligations, including principal and interest payments. As a result of the demerger of Kongsberg Maritime, cash and cash equivalents were further reduced by MNOK 2 900.

Further details are provided in Note 6 In addition, KONGSBERG has a syndicated and committed credit facility of MNOK 3,000, as well as an overdraft facility of MNOK 1 500. Net interest-bearing debt at the end of the second quarter was MNOK -1,704 compared to MNOK -14,830 at the end of 2025. The increase in net interest-bearing debt was primarily driven by the reduction in cash and cash equivalents. KONGSBERG has a long-term issuer credit rating of A- with a "stable outlook" assigned by the credit rating agency Nordic Credit Rating. The standalone credit assessment is BBB+. The rating was most recently updated on 8 April 2026 and is available at https://www.nordiccreditrating.com . Other business / other matters The acquisition of California-based missile company Zone 5 Technologies was completed on 9 June 2026. Through this acquisition, KONGSBERG has expanded its missile portfolio to include missiles that can be produced in high volumes at a lower cost. KONGSBERG is now actively industrialising and scaling up production. The investment strengthens the company's presence in the United States and is well suited for expansion into additional markets. We are evaluating various business models to support this growth. We are seeing strong interest in this type of missile, which complements the company's existing missile portfolio. In June 2025, Kongsberg Discovery entered into an agreement to acquire the U.S.-based company Sonatech, a specialist in underwater acoustics. KONGSBERG continues to work towards obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals while also evaluating alternative ways to realise the strategic potential of the company should the required approvals from U.S. authorities not be secured. Kongsberg Thales Defence Communications (KTDC), a 50/50 joint venture between KONGSBERG and Thales, was announced in June 2025. The purpose of the venture is to address the growing requirements of armed forces in Norway, NATO countries and other nations for interoperability, sovereign capabilities and large-scale equipment deliveries. The new company is expected to become operational during 2026. Kongsberg Digital, a global leader in industrial software, has changed its name to Falkor. The rebranding reflects the company's increased focus on industrial intelligence-the combination of industrial data, simulation and artificial intelligence to enhance decision-making and operational performance-while maintaining its core mission of making industrial work simpler, safer and more efficient for teams around the world. Divested operations Kongsberg Maritime was included in the KONGSBERG's financial statements until 23 April 2026. The results from the maritime business are presented in KONGSBERG's income statement under "Earnings from discontinued business after tax." Profit recognised up to the date of the demerger amounted to NOK 174 million in the second quarter and NOK 722 million for the first half of 2026.

At the end of the second quarter of 2026, KONGSBERG had an order backlog of NOK 158 billion, of which NOK 21 billion is scheduled for delivery during 2026. This represents a record-high level of order coverage and provides a solid foundation for continued high activity throughout the remainder of the year. Framework agreements are only included in the order backlog when orders are received under the respective agreements. KONGSBERG is exposed to several strong market drivers that provide significant growth potential. To deliver on the existing order backlog and meet future demand, we continue to invest in increased capacity both in Norway and internationally. In recent years, we have completed and initiated several new facilities, including missile production plants in Kongsberg, the United States and Australia, as well as expanded subsea technology production facilities in Horten. At the Capital Markets Day on 10 June, we reiterated that the Company has entered a period of increased investments, which is expected to continue through 2027 and 2028. We are investing in additional capacity to ensure delivery on our current order backlog and to meet the demand we see ahead. In addition, we expect to increase investments in self-funded development programmes to ensure that we meet future customer requirements and remain a relevant technology partner. These investments are intended to support KONGSBERG's financial ambitions of achieving revenues of NOK 100 billion by 2029 and NOK 150 billion by 2033. As a technology and defence company with a broad portfolio of relevant capabilities, KONGSBERG is well positioned to create value in an environment characterised by a rapidly evolving threat landscape. These capabilities can be combined and adapted relatively quickly to create new products and solutions. This applies both to our core product areas and to the new technological frontiers of subsea operations and space. The synergies between our core capabilities and these technological frontiers have increased in line with global security developments and are now stronger than ever. The geopolitical environment continues to be characterised by uncertainty and rapid change. KONGSBERG delivers critical products and systems that contribute to strengthening national security and safeguarding sovereignty.

KONGSBERG / Defence Systems / Missiles & Aerostructures / Discovery / Outlook / Numbers & notes ‌1 General information and principles 3 Estimates General information The consolidated financial statement for 2nd quarter (interim financial statement) covers Kongsberg Gruppen ASA, its subsidiaries and shares in joint ventures and associated companies that are included according to the equity method. Principles Interim financial statements are compiled in accordance with IAS 34 (interim reporting), stock exchange regulations and the additional requirements of the Securities Trading Act. Interim financial statements do not include the same amount of information as the full financial statements and should be read in the context of the consolidated financial statements for 2025. The consolidatedfinancial statements for 2025 were prepared in compliance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and international standards for financial reporting (IFRS) established by the EU. The consolidated financial statements for 2025 are available on https://www.kongsberg.com . The interim financial statement has not been audited. Preparing the interim financial statement involves assessments, estimates and assumptions that affect the use of accounting principles and posted amounts for assets and obligations, revenues and expenses. Actual results may deviate from these estimates. The key considerations in connection with the application of the Group's accounting principles and the major sources of uncertainty remain the same as when the 2025 consolidated financial statements was compiled. 2026 has been characterised by political unrest and uncertainty and KONGSBERG may be affected if this continues. At the end of the period this has not had any effect on the financial figures. 2 New standards as of 1. January 2026 The accounting principles used in the quarterly report are the same principles as those applied to the consolidated financial statements for 2025. Changes in accounting standards with effect from 1. January 2026 have not had a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Kongsberg Aviaton Maintenance Service AS (KAMS) is jointly owned with Patria Oyi. The company received financing from its owners in the 2nd quarter of 2025 and thus have a short-term loan from Patria of MNOK 100 in addition to an internal loan from KONGSBERG. This is in accordance with the shareholder agreement to finance investments in KAMS. In addition, KONGSBERG has a syndicated credit facility of MNOK 3,000 and an overdraft credit facility of MNOK 1,500. Neither were utilized at the end of the quarter.

KONGSBERG / Defence Systems / Missiles & Aerostructures / Discovery / Outlook / Numbers & notes Forward exchange contracts KONGSBERG hedges contracts above a certain size at the time of signing, and these are mainly hedged by forward currency contracts (fair value hedges) against the unit's functional currency. In special cases, KONGSBERG uses forward contracts as cash flow hedges for large bids where the probability of contract award is very high. Fair value of balances classified as cash flow hedges, as shown in the condensed statement of comprehensive income, increased by MNOK 242 before tax during the period 1. January - 30. June 2026. The fair value of unrealized forward exchange contracts increased by MNOK 210 during the period. The total change in net fair value of fair value hedges represented a decrease of MNOK (390) from the end of last year. The end-of-quarter spot rates were USD/NOK 9.91, EUR/NOK 11.28 and GBP/NOK 13.08.

The investment strengthens KONGSBERG's presence in the United States and provides a platform for expansion into additional markets. The acquisition was completed on 9 June 2026. Zone 5 is reported within the Missiles & Aerostructures business area. KONGSBERG acquired 89,6 per cent of the units i the company. There is a put/call option for the remaining units that most probably will be exercised within two years. The valuation of the remaining units will be based on the fair value at the time of acquisition and is recognised as contingent liability as of 30 June. As part of the acquisition a value-based loyalty arrangement for several employees in the company was established. Since the payments are related to continuing employment the arrangement must be recognised as personnel expenses according to IFRS. If the value of the company develops better than expected, this may result in provisions for this liability, as well as the accrual of these costs in subsequent periods, and thus higher personnel costs in the short term. However, the associated value creation from the investment will typically be realised over a longer period and will therefore not necessarily be visible in the income statement at the same time. Premliminary value added allocation follows below: KONGSBERG | Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace | Kongsberg Discovery | Outlook | Additional information | ‌8 Share split after demerger The demerger of Kongsberg Gruppen ASA in connection with the special listing of the Kongsberg Maritime business area on Euronext Oslo Stock Exchange was completed as of 23 April 2026. Kongsberg Gruppen ASA's share capital was reduced by NOK 52,776,554.70 by reducing the nominal value per share from NOK 0.25 to NOK 0.19. Date Number of shares Nominal NOK Share capital MNOK Share caoital before demerger 31.12.2025 879 609 245 0.25 219.9 Share capital after demerger 23.4.2026 879 609 245 0.19 167.1 KONGSBERG / Defence Systems / Missiles & Aerostructures / Discovery / Outlook / Numbers & notes ‌9 Discontinued business On 17 December 2025, the Board of Directors of Kongsberg Gruppen ASA decided to demerge and list Kongsberg Maritime on the Euronext Oslo Stock Exchange. The demerger was adopted by the General Meeting at the Extraordinary General Meeting on 22 January 2026. The demerger will be carried out by transferring KONGSBERG's assets, rights and liabilities primarily related to the maritime business to the newly established company Kongsberg Maritime ASA. The values to be demerged constitute in total of 24% of the values in Kongsberg Gruppen ASA according to the demerger plan. As demerger consideration, the shareholders of Kongsberg Gruppen ASA as of the time of completion of the demerger have received new shares in Kongsberg Maritime ASA, where each share in Kongsberg Gruppen ASA entitles the holder to receive one share in Kongsberg Maritime ASA. The shareholder structure was thus immediately after the completion of the demerger mirroring the shareholder structure of Kongsberg Gruppen ASA. The IPO took place on 23 April 2026. Due to this decision, the maritime business is presented as operations held for distribution to the owners in the financial statement as of Q4 2025 and to the year end 2026. The result from the maritime business is extracted from KONGSBERG's profit and loss figures for 2026 and 2025 and is presented collectively in the profit and loss line "Earnings from discontinued business after tax" in the income statement. The result from the maritime operations in 2026 is only included until the demerger was completed in 23 April 2026. In KONGSBERG's balance sheet as of 31 March 2026 and 31 December 2025, the balance sheet figures from the maritime business are extracted from KONGSBERG's balance sheet figures and presented on the balance sheet lines "Assets held for distribution to the owners" and "Liabilities held for distribution to the owners". In the balance sheet as of 30 June 2026 , all balance sheet figures from the maritime activities have been excluded. The figures from the maritime business are included in both 2026 and 2025 in the cash flow statement. The specification of the result, financial position as of 30 June 2026 and 31 December 2025 and net cash flow from the maritime operations are presented in the tables below. After Q2 2026, the result from the maritime business will be unchanged for the rest of the year and the balance sheet will not include balance sheet figures from the maritime business.

KONGSBERG / Defence Systems / Missiles & Aerostructures / Discovery / Outlook / Numbers & notes ‌10 Related parties 13 Other According to the shareholder agreement regarding financing of investments in Kongsberg Aviation Maintenance Services, the owners, Patria Oyi and KONGSBERG, granted a loan to the company in the second quarter in 2025. Patria Oyi's share of the financing is MNOK 100. The Board is not aware of any changes or transactions in the 2nd quarter associated with related parties that in any significant way have an impact on the Group's financial position and profit for the period. In May, it became known that the Norwegian authorities have withdrawn the export license of NSM missiles from KONGSBERG to Malaysia. This is related to the contract KONGSBERG announced on 18 April 2018 of 124 million euros. Accounting assessments related were taken into account in the financial statements as of Q2 in accordance with IFRS. Due to ongoing negotiations between the parties, it is all the information KONGSBERG can provide at this time. 11 Important risk and uncertainty factors KONGSBERG's risk management is described in the 2025 annual report. The geopolitical situation is still characterised by uncertainty and rapid change. KONGSBERG has significant international operations and is affected by global framework conditions. At the same time, strong growth and increased geopolitical uncertainty place greater demands on robust supply chains and secure access to critical components. The Group's global presence, local value creation close to customers and close follow-up of the supply chain help to reduce the risk associated with such conditions. KONGSBERG works closely with customers, authorities and suppliers to ensure good preparedness and the ability to adapt to changing framework conditions. 12 Tax The income tax expense from continuing operation per 2nd quarter was calculated to be 20.1 per cent of earnings before tax. The income tax expense was mainly affected by income from associates recognised after tax, permanent differences and withholding tax. KONGSBERG | Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace | Kongsberg Discovery | Outlook | Additional information | ‌Alternative performance measures and definitions KONGSBERG uses terms in the consolidated financial statements that are not anchored in the IFRS accounting standards. Our definitions and explanations of these terms follow below. KONGSBERG considers EBITDA and EBIT to be normal accounting terms, but they are not included in the IFRS accounting standards. EBITDA is the abbreviation of "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation". KONGSBERG uses EBITDA in the income statement as a summation line for other accounting lines. These accounting lines are defined in our accounting principles, which are part of the 2025 financial statements. The same applies to EBIT. KONGSBERG's strategic plans going forward will place increased focus on Joint Ventures (JV) and other partnerships. Such collaborations will play a more central role in the new KONGSBERG, and divisional management will be given greater responsibility for the follow-up of Joint Venture companies. It has therefore been decided that the measurement, monitoring, and reporting of the divisions shall include proportional figures from Joint Ventures in the reporting of revenues, EBITDA, EBIT, order intake, and order backlog. Companies in which the KONGSBERG holds an ownership interest of 50 percent and exercises significant operational influence are included in these performance metrics. As a consequence, Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT) is included in Discovery, and kta Naval Systems (KTA) in Defence Systems. These revised figures are defined as Alternative Performance Measures. 1.4. - 30.6.26 Revenues incl JV's Joint Ventures Elimination Revenues KONGSBERG 10,389 (600) 97 9,887 Defence Systems 5,092 (296) 90 4,886 Missiles & Aerostructures 2,891 - - 2,891 Discovery 2,269 (303) 7 1,973 1.4. - 30.6.26 EBITDA incl Joint Ventures Joint Ventures Elimination EBITDA KONGSBERG 2,050 (116) - 1,934 Defence Systems 967 (10) - 958 Missiles & Aerostructures 625 - - 625 Discovery 448 (106) - 342 1.1. - 31.3.26 EBIT incl Joint Ventures Joint Ventures Elimination EBIT KONGSBERG 1,669 (82) - 1,588 Defence Systems 902 (9) - 892 Missiles & Aerostructures 488 - - 488 Discovery 347 (72) - 275 Reconciliation of the APM revenues, EBITDA, EBIT against the IFRS financial figures: 1.1. - 30.6.26 Revenues incl JV's Joint Ventures Elimination Revenues KONGSBERG 19,623 (1,015) 218 18,827 Defence Systems 9,229 (438) 211 9,002 Missiles & Aerostructures 5,650 - - 5,650 Discovery 4,394 (577) 7 3,824 1.1. - 30.6.26 EBITDA incl Joint Ventures Joint Ventures Elimination EBITDA KONGSBERG 3,984 (207) - 3,777 Defence Systems 1,828 (9) - 1,820 Missiles & Aerostructures 1,233 - - 1,233 Discovery 919 (198) - 721 1.1. - 30.6.26 EBIT incl Joint Ventures Joint Ventures Elimination EBIT KONGSBERG 1,669 (127) - 3,079 Defence Systems 1,697 (9) - 1,689 Missiles & Aerostructures 968 - - 968 Discovery 709 (119) - 590 Order intake is the value of signed customer contracts where KONGSBERG has a delivery commitments to the customer.
