Veidekke achieved revenues of NOK 9.7 billion in the first quarter of 2026, and
a pre-tax profit of NOK 27 million. The group's order book totalled NOK 48.1
billion at quarter-end.

"The first quarter of the year is typically the low season for several of our
operations, as reflected in both revenues and profit levels. Strong momentum in
the construction operations has boosted activity levels and profits compared to
the same quarter last year. As regards operations with a seasonal downturn in
winter, we have prepared well for the production season, which is now in full
swing, and have main­tained effective cost controls throughout the low season,"
says Group CEO Jimmy Bengtsson.

"Our strong quarterly order intake has helped maintain a large order book, and I
am particularly pleased that we have won three new civil engineering projects in
Norway. We ended last year in a very strong financial position, which has
strengthened further thanks to our healthy first-quarter cash flow. This
increases our acquisition capacity, and in Q1 Veidekke signed an agreement to
purchase an asphalt plant in Troms which will strengthen our existing capacity
in this segment," says Bengtsson.

Veidekke achieved revenues of NOK 9.7 billion in Q1 2026, up 7% from NOK 9.0
billion in the first quarter of 2025. With the exception of Infrastructure
Norway, which reported somewhat lower civil engineering activity than last year,
revenues were up across all operations compared to Q1 2025.

The first-quarter pre-tax profit totalled NOK 27 million, compared to NOK -21
million in Q1 2025. All operations other than Infrastructure Norway, which
experienced reduced activity levels, reported higher profits than in 2025.
Construction Norway achieved the strongest profit improvement, powered by higher
activity levels and strong project portfolio profitability. Increased sales and
better capacity utilisation helped boost profits for the Swedish operations and
Hoffmann in Denmark. The first-quarter operating profit was NOK 39 million, up
significantly compared to last year's figure of NOK -43 million. At the same
time, low returns on financial investments resulted in a weak financial profit
for the quarter. Overall, however, first-quarter profits were up year-on-year.
The quarterly profit margin was 0.3%, compared to -0.2% in Q1 2025.

The group's Q1 order intake was NOK 11.5 billion, compared to NOK 12.0 billion
in the first quarter of last year. At quarter-end, the order book amounted to
NOK 48.1 billion, up from NOK 44.4 billion as at Q1 2025. Approximately 60% of
the order book will be converted into revenue in the next 12 months.

The first-quarter LTI (lost time injury) rate was 3.5, compared to 3.6 in the
preceding quarter and 3.0 in Q1 2025. No serious injuries were recorded in Q1.
The sick leave rate was 5.3%, on a par with the preceding quarter and down from
6.1% in the first quarter of last year.

Net interest-bearing assets totalled NOK 4.6 billion as at 31 March 2026,
compared to NOK 2.7 billion one year previously. Cash flow from operational
activities amounted to NOK 893 million in Q1, compared to NOK 313 million in Q1
2025. The statement of financial position totalled NOK 19.0 billion at quarter
-end, up from NOK 18.2 billion in Q1 2025. The improvement in the statement of
financial position is attributable to an improved profit performance.
