26 Aug, 2026Strategic transformation and business structure
Transitioned to two core segments: Marine and Energy, after divesting Portfolio Business and discontinuing Energy Storage as a separate segment in 2026.
Marine focuses on engines, propulsion, hybrid tech, and services for carbon neutrality; Energy delivers flexible, efficient power plants and services for renewable systems.
Achieved all-time high order intake and order book in 2026, with strong growth in both segments.
Financial targets: 5% annual organic growth, 14% operating margin, gearing below 0.5, and dividend payout of at least 50% of earnings.
Completed major divestments in 2025-2026, eliminating non-core activities and focusing on core growth areas.
Market fundamentals and growth drivers
Decarbonisation and regulatory changes are accelerating demand for sustainable marine and energy solutions.
Marine market supported by resilient contracting, regulatory push for net-zero emissions, and rising alternative fuel adoption.
