GRAPHIC Third Quarter 2025<br>Earnings Release<br>For the period 1 January to 30 September 2025<br>Cadeler A/S. Incorporated in Denmark. Registration Number (CVR no.): 3118 0503<br>Kalvebod Brygge 43, DK-1560 Copenhagen V, Denmark
| ![GRAPHIC](tm2531594d1_ex99-1img002.jpg) | Financial Performance<br>Income statement and cash flows<br>The Group's revenue for the first nine months of 2025 was EUR 453<br>million, an increase of EUR 290 million compared to the EUR 163<br>million revenue reported for the comparable period in 2024, driven<br>principally by the receipt of termination fees under the Long-Term<br>Agreement (LTA) with Ørsted, and increased revenue from fleet<br>expansion and higher utilisation.<br>The Group’s cost of sales for the first nine months of 2025 was EUR<br>159 million, EUR 68 million higher than the comparable period in<br>2024, driven mainly by the addition of three new operating vessels to<br>the fleet, Wind Maker, Wind Peak and Wind Pace.<br>The Group’s eight operating vessels achieved a combined 75.8%<br>utilisation rate for the first nine months of 2025, compared to 61.4%<br>in the same period in 2024, where the Group had five operating<br>vessels.<br>The Group's EBITDA for the first nine months of 2025 was EUR 322<br>million, an increase of EUR 251 million compared to the EBITDA of<br>EUR 70 million reported for the same period in 2024, as disclosed in<br>the Alternative Performance Measures (APM) section.<br>For the first nine months of 2025, the Group’s result was a profit of<br>EUR 232 million, an increase of EUR 205 million relative to the EUR<br>28 million profit reported for the comparable period in 2024. The<br>Group’s increased result was principally driven by higher gross profit<br>for the period, principally due to receipt of termination fees in<br>respect of the LTA and an increase in operating vessels in the period<br>along with an increase in vessel utilisation.<br>Net cash flow provided by operating activities was EUR 286<br>million in the first nine months of 2025, EUR 241 million higher<br>than the EUR 45 million recorded for the comparable period in<br>2024, driven by increased operating profit and an increase in<br>deferred revenue from advance customer payments, partially<br>offset by an increase in trade and other payables. Net cash flow<br>used in investing activities in the first nine months of 2025 was<br>EUR 931 million, an increase of EUR 382 million compared to the<br>EUR 549 million reported for the same period in 2024. This<br>increase was driven by the final instalment payments made for<br>the three newbuild vessels delivered in the first nine months of<br>2025, Wind Maker, Wind Pace and Wind Ally, as well as the<br>purchase of Wind Keeper.<br>Net cash flow provided by financing activities in the first nine<br>months of 2025 was EUR 805 million, an increase of EUR 303<br>million compared to the EUR 502 million reported for the<br>comparable period in 2024. This increase was driven by proceeds<br>from borrowings of EUR 883 million net of bank fees and partially<br>offset by the increased interest paid and repayments.<br>Outlook 2025<br>These results are above expectations and in line with the company’s<br>recently updated full-year revenue and EBITDA guidance, which was<br>revised on 1 July 2025 to reflect increased earnings visibility. Cadeler<br>today reaffirms that guidance, with full-year revenue expected to<br>range between EUR 588 and 628 million and EBITDA between EUR<br>381 and 421 million. This earnings release report for the period 1<br>January to 30 September 2025 is neither audited nor reviewed.<br>Subsequent Events<br>On 17 October 2025, Cadeler repaid the Wind Keeper Bridge Facility<br>of EUR 150 million in full, funded by the drawdown on the same date<br>of the full amount of the EUR 125 million Wind Keeper Facility<br>together with EUR 25 million cash on hand.<br>\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_<br>2<br>"Strong performance with<br>high utilisation, improved<br>earnings and continued<br>fleet expansion" |

| ![GRAPHIC](tm2531594d1_ex99-1img004.jpg) | Financial Performance<br>Continued from previous page<br>Capital and assets<br>As of 30 September 2025, the Group’s total assets amounted to EUR 3,056 million, a 58% increase<br>compared to 31 December 2024. This increase was driven primarily by an increase in property, plant and<br>equipment of EUR 914 million, which was attributable to the Group’s newbuild programme, including the<br>delivery of the new M-Class vessel, Wind Maker, the new P-Class vessel, Wind Pace, and the Group's first<br>A-class vessel, Wind Ally, as well as the acquisition of the Wind Keeper.<br>The Group's equity amounted to EUR 1,446 million as of 30 September 2025, reflecting an increase of EUR<br>212 million from the balance at year end 2024 of EUR 1,234 million. The development in the Group's<br>equity was driven by a loss of EUR 15 million from adjustment of hedges along with EUR 5 million in costs<br>relating to the hedges, offset by a profit of EUR 232 million and share-based payments of EUR 2 million<br>for the first nine months of 2025.<br>As of 1 January 2025, all entities of the former Eneti Group have changed their functional currency from<br>USD to EUR. The change is driven by Cadeler’s acquisition of the former Eneti Group at the end of 2023,<br>and the subsequent changes to the financing, organization and activities of the entities formerly<br>associated with the Eneti Group, following which the Group's Management has made the assessment that<br>the primary economic environment in which each of the entities now operates has changed to be<br>principally denominated in EUR. Accordingly, Management has determined that EUR is the new functional<br>currency that will most faithfully reflect the underlying transactions, events and conditions relevant to the<br>entities formerly associated with the Eneti Group following the acquisition.<br>As some of the group entities are conducting business in an international environment, Management has<br>applied judgement to determine the primary economic environment considering the Group's underlying<br>transactions, events and conditions.<br>Key Figures 30 September 2025 31 December 2024<br>EUR'000<br>Total assets 3,056,062 1,937,016<br>Non-current asset 2,660,552 1,748,400<br>Total liabilities 1,610,072 703,122<br>Equity 1,445,990 1,233,894<br>Cash and cash equivalents 217,757 58,464<br>Financial ratios and operational metrics<br>Return on assets (%) 9.9 % 4.4 %<br>Return on equity (%) 17.3 % 6.0 %<br>Equity ratio (%) 47.3 % 63.7 %<br>Average number of employees¹<br>Onshore 295 242<br>Offshore 545 364<br>The financial ratios and operational metrics identified above are calculated in accordance with the terms<br>and definitions set out in the Annual Report 2024.<br>1 Average number of full-time equivalent Cadeler employees for the reporting period.<br>\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_<br>4 |

| ![GRAPHIC](tm2531594d1_ex99-1img012.jpg) | Alternative Performance Measures<br>Non-IFRS Financial Measures<br>To supplement its financial information presented in accordance<br>with IFRS, the Group uses certain non-IFRS metrics, including<br>EBITDA, when measuring performance, including when measuring<br>current period results of operations against prior periods. Because<br>of its non-standardised definition, these non-IFRS measures (unlike<br>IFRS measures) may not be comparable to the calculation of<br>similar measures of other companies. These supplemental non-IFRS measures are presented solely to permit investors to more<br>fully understand how management assesses underlying<br>performance.<br>These supplemental non-IFRS measures are not, and should not,<br>be viewed as a substitute for IFRS measures. Management believes<br>the presentation of these non-IFRS measures provides investors<br>with greater transparency and supplemental data relating to the<br>Group’s financial condition and results of operations, and<br>therefore a more complete understanding of factors affecting its<br>business and operating performance. In addition, Management<br>believes the presentation of these non-IFRS measures is useful to<br>investors for period-to-period comparison of results as the items<br>may reflect certain unique and/or non-operating items such as<br>asset sales, write-offs, contract termination costs or items outside<br>of Management’s control.<br>As a performance measure, the Group used EBITDA: Earnings<br>before interest, tax, finance income/costs and depreciation and<br>amortisation.<br>EBITDA is calculated as shown below:<br>EUR'000 9M 2025 9M 2024<br>Operating profit or loss as reported in the statement of profit 247,637 31,841<br>Right-of-use asset amortisation 1,297 1,051<br>Depreciation and amortisation 72,634 37,266<br>EBITDA 321,568 70,158<br>\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_<br>12 |
