Arendals Fossekompani reported group revenue of NOK 955 million for Q4 2025 (previous year NOK 1,175 million) and an operating loss of NOK 107 million (previous year profit NOK 155 million), weighed down by impairments and provisions totalling around NOK 210 million. The company cites as key steps the partnership of Volue with TA Associates (implicit equity value EUR 1.5 billion), from which AFK receives about EUR 538 million in cash and retains a 36% stake, as well as portfolio optimizations at Tekna and ENRX. In the portfolio, Vannkraft and Volue delivered strong results, while ENRX suffered substantial losses following the sale of a batch and related write-downs. AFK emphasizes a solid liquidity position of NOK 2.8 billion and expects revenue for 2026 to be similar to 2025 but significantly higher profits thanks to the absence of further ENRX impairments and improved margins. » Mere på de.investing.com
