11 November 2026
Copenhagen, Denmark

Today, the Board of Directors of FLSmidth & Co. A/S (FLSmidth) have approved the 9M 2026 Interim Financial Report. In 9M 2026, FLSmidth reported organic revenue growth of 5% and an Adjusted EBITA margin of 16.4%. The financial guidance for the full year 2026 is adjusted.

Highlights in Q3 2026:

Order intake increased organically by 32% compared to Q3 2025, supported by strong organic growth in PC&V and Products. Total order intake increased by 36% compared to Q3 2025.
Revenue increased organically by 6% compared to Q3 2025, driven by organic growth across Service and PC&V business lines. Total revenue increased by 10% compared to Q3 2025.
The Adjusted EBITA margin was 16.3% in Q3 2026 compared to 15.3% in Q3 2025.
Net profit for the period amounted to DKK 388m compared to DKK 298m for the continuing activities in Q3 2025.
Cash flow from operating activities was DKK 358m in Q3 2026 compared to DKK 478m in Q3 2025.
The financial guidance for the full year 2026 is adjusted, with the organic revenue growth now expected at 1% to 3% (previously 0% to 4%) and the Adj. EBITA margin now expected at ~16.5% (previously 16.0% to 16.5%).

FLSmidth CEO, Toni Laaksonen, comments: “The third quarter reflected continued good commercial activity, with 32% organic order intake growth and 6% organic revenue growth. Service developed broadly as expected, while PC&V maintained good momentum and Products benefited from two large orders and a strengthening project pipeline. We also delivered an improved adjusted EBITA margin of 16.3% and solid cash flow from operating activities. Together with the recent strengthening of our leadership team, this leaves us well positioned as we advance the next phase of our strategic journey. We remain encouraged by the continued positive development in our markets and confident that additional investment decisions will support future growth.”

Financial guidance for the full year 2026

The financial guidance for the full year 2026 is adjusted.

Organic and reported revenue growth

FLSmidth now expects organic revenue growth in the range of 1% to 3% (previously 0% to 4%). Organic revenue growth is measured at constant exchange rates and excludes the effects of acquisitions and disposals.

As a result of the current exchange rates versus the Danish krone, and assuming that the current exchange rates are unchanged for the remainder of the year, the reported revenue growth is expected to be at the same level as the expected organic revenue growth.

The organic revenue growth guidance reflects the expectation of:

Organic revenue growth of 3% to 5% (unchanged) in the Service business, supported by continued demand for productivity enhancing solutions to improve operational efficiency.
Organic revenue growth in the Products business of -13% to -9% (previously -15% to -5%) due to a reduced order backlog, which has resulted from the comprehensive pruning and de-risking of the product portfolio completed as well as the persistently low level of investment activity in the industry.
Organic revenue growth of 9% to 11% (previously 5% to 8%) in the Pumps, Cyclones & Valves (PC&V) business, supported by continued robust and active market conditions.

Adjusted EBITA margin

Further, FLSmidth now expects an Adjusted EBITA margin of ~16.5% (previously 16.0% to 16.5%). The Adjusted EBITA margin is expected to benefit from strong, stable earnings margins in the Service and PC&V businesses and planned profitability improvements in the Products business, supported by continued implementation of the corporate model, driving simplification, operational efficiency and improved commercial execution. The adjusted EBITA margin excludes costs related to the ongoing upgrade of the ERP platform. These costs are expected to amount to DKK 100m for the full year 2026. In addition, the adjusted EBITA margin excludes Other operating net income totalling DKK 717m for 9M 2026, whereof DKK 675m relate to the sale of the Company’s former corporate headquarters in Valby, Denmark (ref. Company Announcement no. 9-2025), which were recognised in Q1 2026.

Financial guidance for the full year 2026
Organic revenue growth	1% to 3% (previously 0% to 4%)
Adjusted EBITA margin	~16.5% (previously 16.0% to 16.5%)

Key assumptions for the financial outlook for the full year 2026

The above expectations are based on assumptions that the global or regional macroeconomic and political environment will not materially change business conditions for FLSmidth during 2026. This includes stable market conditions and customer investment levels in the mining industry, with no major regulatory or trade-policy changes that could affect project execution or operations. For more information about the expected sensitivities from key invoicing currencies, please refer to note 5.3 in the 2025 Annual Report.
