Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA Earnings Call Transcripts
Fiscal Year 2026
-
EBIT excluding one-offs was NOK 213 million, but net profit was NOK -555 million due to a NOK 733 million EU ETS loss and higher fuel costs. Widerøe delivered strong operational results, and the acquisition of NLTG is set to expand offerings and drive synergies. Liquidity remains robust at NOK 13.7 billion.
