Høvik, Norway, 26 March 2026 - Earnings remained robust, with EBITDA reaching NOK 5,615 million and a 60.5% equity ratio, reflecting a strong and stable financial foundation. These results mean DNV closed its 2021–2025 strategy period having exceeded its revenue ambitions and strengthened its global market presence.

DNV’s Energy Systems business was underpinned by rapid growth in key segments such as solar, where order intake increased by 17%. The company’s Green Power Monitoring & Solutions business grew by over 35% year-on-year, while power-grid activity expanded nearly 20% as countries accelerated investment in resilient transmission systems.
Commitment to research
As part of the new strategy period which began on January 1, 2026, DNV committed to increase its research, development, and innovation (RD&I) investment from 5% to 6% of its annual revenue. DNV’s strong results enable DNV to dive deeper into the topics most relevant to the needs of customers. DNV is now investing close to twice as much, in absolute terms, in RD&I compared with the start of the decade.
