Force BidCo A/S (“FairWind” or the “Company”), a leading global provider of one-stop solutions for the installation and service of onshore and offshore wind turbines, announces a preliminary trading update for the first quarter of 2026.

Highlights for the first quarter of 2026

  • High activity levels in Q1 2026 and the financial performance are above expectations for the period. Compared to Q1 2025, that was the highest Q1 ever, we managed to further increase the topline with 8.3%. 
  • The Gross profit for Q1 2026 slightly above same period last year, but due to the current project mix the margin decreased with 1.1 percentage point. 
  • The adj. EBITDA margin is, besides the impacts from the gross margin in Q1 2026, also influenced by new hires to be prepared for the expected growth for the full year 2026.  
  • As of January 1st, 2026, we changed the regional split, and the former North America (NA) is now the Americas (AM) including LATAM that previously was part of the Southern Europe Southern Americas (SESA) which is now Mediterranean (MED).   
  • NCE delivers above expectations on the topline for Q1 2026 both on Installation and Service and with improved margins on the Service business compared to Q1 2025. 
  • In the AM the main driver for generating revenue above expectations is Installation projects in LATAM and in general maintaining the contribution margins almost in line with expectations and similar to Q1 2025. 
  • MED is slightly below expectations on topline due to postponement of projects to Q2 and Q3 but exceeded the margins also compared to last year. 
  • APAC slightly above the revenue expectation for Q1 2026 but more than 170% above last year's quarter partly due to the acquisition of Cosmic added more Service work to the region. Margin vise below the expectations driven by Installation but significantly above Q1 2025. 
  • UKIE was challenged by the postponement of several larger Installation projects, which have now commenced but were the driver for being below expectations for Q1 2026.
