2025 Financial Performance and Market Conditions
By Nora Buli
Profit Results and Earnings Guidance
OSLO, April 16 (Reuters) – Danish energy trader Danske Commodities on Thursday reported a 52% drop in profits for 2025, citing low volatility and structurally challenged gas markets.
Danske Commodities, owned by Norwegian oil and gas producer Equinor, posted full-year adjusted earnings before tax of 186 million euros ($219.57 million), down from 186 million euros in 2024.
Earnings Range and Expectations
This was below its guided range for earnings before tax of between 100 million and 200 million euros.
Market Volatility and CEO Commentary
“The year was characterised by low-volatility markets, which was partly offset by strong performance in power trading and asset management, CEO Jakob Soerensen said in a statement.
Price Stability in Gas and Power
This uncertainty never materialised into higher volatility, with both gas and power prices staying relatively calm throughout the year, he added.
Asset Portfolio Growth
Expansion in Renewable and Flexible Assets
At the same time, the company grew its portfolio of wind, solar and flexible assets by 2 gigawatts (GW) year on year, to 16 GW in 2025, the company said.
Currency Exchange Rate
