HusCompagniet reports continued growth in Detached and unsatisfactory performance in Semi-detached in Q3 2025

Company Announcement 13/2025

Trading Statement for 1 January – 30 September 2025

HusCompagniet reports a consistent and high activity level across all segments in the first nine months of 2025 with revenue growth of 31% to DKK 2,167 million and a sales increase of 22%.

Group CEO of HusCompagniet, Martin Ravn-Nielsen says: “We maintained good traction in sales and revenue growth in the first nine months of 2025 as the detached business performed well despite declining consumer confidence, and the semi-detached business secured a higher inflow of confirmed sales after good dialogues and preparatory work. While we were pleased with these positive developments, we faced challenges on three B2B projects and a few HC Elements projects leading to unsatisfactory performance in semi-detached.”

In the first nine months of 2025, HusCompagniet grew sales by 22% to 1,077 houses (units) and number of deliveries by 25% to 713 units driven by all three business units. The net order backlog reached DKK 2.2 billion, corresponding to an increase of 57% from the comparison period attributable to the continued pick-up in sales in the Danish businesses in recent quarters.

The gross margin[1] declined to 17.1% in the first nine months of 2025 from 21.3% in the same period last year. As described in company announcement 11/2025, the negative development was caused by unsatisfactory performance in the Semi-detached business due to challenges in three B2B projects and a more negative impact than expected from a few previously mentioned projects in HC Elements combined with postponed initiation of work on other B2B projects.

EBITDA was DKK 47 million in the first nine months, corresponding to a margin of 2.2% compared to DKK 81 million and 4.9% in the same period last year. EBIT declined to DKK 14 million from DKK 44 million. Earnings were mainly impacted by write-downs on the B2B and HC Elements projects combined with a material effect of postponed initiation of work on other B2B projects. The HC Elements projects have all been completed in Q3 2025, whereas the B2B projects are scheduled for completion in H1 2026 (one project) and H1 2027 (two projects).

“Following theunsatisfactory results in selected projects, we have reviewed the order portfolio in semi-detached and are taking steps to improve performance and profitability in the segment. We will learn from the challenged projects as well as successfully completed and current well-performing projects, applying a clear focus on margin improvement ahead of market share gains in the semi-detached business going forward,” says Martin Ravn-Nielsen.

Selected key highlights Q3 and 9M 2025

In connection with the preparation of this Q3 trading statement, selected preliminary figures disclosed in company announcement 11/2025 have been adjusted, including sales and deliveries as well as net order backlog in Semi-detached. See appendix in this trading statement for an overview of the adjusted figures.

Highlights 9M 2025

• HusCompagniet sold 1,077 houses (units) in 9M 2025 compared to 881 in the same period last year, a progress driven by all three business segments. In the Detached segment, sales increased to 620 units from 549 in the first nine months of 2024, in Semi-detached, 383 units were sold year-to-date 2025 compared to 260 units in the same period last year, and in the Wooden houses segment, 74 units were sold in 9M 2025 against 72 in 9M 2024.
• 9M 2025 revenue increased by 31% to DKK 2,167 million against the comparison period supported by all three business segments and reflecting continued sales increase in several consecutive quarters and satisfactory activity levels. Total deliveries increased by 25% across segments.
• 9M 2025 gross profit grew by 5% to DKK 370 million for a margin of 17.1% compared to DKK 351 million and a margin of 21.3% in the comparison quarter. The improved gross profit contribution was driven by the Detached and Wooden houses segments, while the negative impact from challenges in three B2B projects and a more negative impact than expected from a few previously mentioned projects in HC Elements combined with postponed initiation of work on other B2B projects detracted from performance in Semi-detached.
• 9M 2025 EBITDA declined to DKK 47 million for a margin of 2.2% against DKK 81 million and 4.9% in the first 9M 2024. The decline was attributable mainly to write-downs on the abovementioned B2B and HC Elements projects combined with a material effect of postponed initiation of work on other B2B projects. 9M 2025 EBIT came to DKK 14 million, down from DKK 44 million in the comparison period.
• 30 September 2025, the order backlog (net) amounted to DKK 2,219 million against DKK 1,413 million at end-September 2024, an increase of 57%.
• 30 September 2025, net debt came to DKK 309 million against DKK 245 million on 30 September 2024. The leverage ratio (NIBD/LTM EBITDA) was 4.4x compared to 2.6x at end-Q3 2024. Based on the continued traction and positive underlying long-term development in the core business, HusCompagniet has entered an agreement with Danske Bank and Nordea to increase the leverage covenant for the Group’s existing and otherwise unchanged facilities agreement ensuring ample headroom until end-2026 after the decline in EBITDA in Semi-detached.
• Free cash flow for 9M 2025 came to DKK -26 million against DKK 126 million in the comparison period, impacted by a higher activity level and phasing of deliveries impacting net working capital together with lower-than-expected EBITDA for the period.
