Overview of Rovsing A/S's Annual Report 2024/25
Highlights of the Year
- For Rovsing, 2024/25 has marked a year of stabilization, maintaining activity at levels similar to the previous year, where revenue experienced a remarkable growth of 39%. The commitment to the company’s strategy, initiated in 2023/24, has led to proactive engagement in partnership opportunities and exploration of new market entrants.
- The order backlog as of June 30, 2025, is recorded at DKK 39.7 million, indicating a slight increase from DKK 38.8 million in 2023/24. Furthermore, the company has seen an impressive order intake of DKK 37.8 million during 2024/25, significantly up from DKK 10.3 million in the last financial year. Rovsing's contract portfolio showcases diversity, catering to a wide range of missions and clientele in both institutional and commercial sectors. The industry’s outlook remains positive, with major EU missions progressing and Rovsing continuing to be a key supplier for primary European contractors.
- During the financial year, the total revenue stood at DKK 37.0 million, compared to DKK 39.3 million in 2023/24, representing a decline of 5.7% but still illustrating a solid revenue level compared to previous years.
- EBITDA reached DKK 1.3 million, down from DKK 2.9 million the prior year. This decline primarily stems from one-off effects tied to the replanning of larger projects, with some being delayed, incurring increased material costs due to inflation. Rovsing is in the process of negotiating settlements related to these delays, and thus not all proceeds can be quantified at this time.
Strategic Acceleration and Future Ambitions
Rovsing is poised to leverage its strong foundation in Europe to drive global growth within the Space and Defense sectors. The company aims to further its footprint in high-potential markets while adopting a selective buy-and-build strategy that strengthens its core operations in Space and expands into the adjacent Defense marketplace.
- By blending organic growth methods with strategic acquisitions and innovation propelled by client demands, Rovsing is set to scale more efficiently and enhance its market presence, creating sustainable long-term benefits for all stakeholders.
- To fuel these strategic initiatives, Rovsing plans a fully subscribed directed share issue involving key investors and board members to enable the necessary financing. This approach will support investments and due diligence for significant acquisitions contemplated for 2026.
- At the forthcoming Annual General Meeting, it's expected that the Board of Directors will be fortified with the inclusion of proposed new members Lars Ankjer and Christian Klarskov.
- Looking ahead to the 2025/26 fiscal year, based on the current order backlog, Rovsing anticipates revenue in the range of DKK 37.0 to 41.0 million, alongside a projected positive EBITDA between DKK 1.0 to 3.0 million.
