Billion-Krone Profit at Egmont

The media group Egmont delivered a strong result in 2025 with an operating profit of more than one billion kroner. The result was driven in part by successful content production, growth in subscription platforms and adjustments within the group’s businesses.

Egmont’s operating profit (EBIT) reached 1,049 million kroner compared with 761 million kroner in 2024. Operating profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) amounted to 2,327 million kroner. Total revenue came to 16,405 million kroner, which is on par with the previous year when taking divestments into account.

According to the group, the result was achieved despite challenges in the market, including restructuring in the global games industry that led to cancelled game projects at Nordisk Film, as well as prolonged distributor negotiations that affected TV 2.

“I am satisfied with Egmont’s result. Strong Nordic media content, expanded subscription platforms and a constant focus on efficiency through the use of technology mean that we are performing well under challenging market conditions and global competition,” says Egmont CEO Steffen Kragh.

At TV 2 in Norway, both revenue and operating profit increased, partly due to higher income from advertising and subscriptions. The streaming platform TV 2 Play experienced subscription growth, and TV 2 increased its market share in the commercial TV market to 52.7 percent.

Nordisk Film experienced a decline in revenue following the divestment of the company GoGift and a more unstable market for films and computer games. Nevertheless, the result improved, partly due to the divestment and a strong performance from Nordisk Film Cinemas.

Story House Egmont, which among other things publishes magazines and operates digital agencies and e-commerce businesses, improved its operating profit through operational optimisations. Egmont’s publishing houses, Cappelen Damm and Lindhardt og Ringhof, were also behind several notable book releases and won a number of book awards in Norway and Denmark.

As a commercial foundation, Egmont uses part of its profit for charitable purposes. In 2025, the group spent 111 million kroner on initiatives that support, among other things, children and young people in difficult life situations, as well as film talents through the Nordisk Film Foundation. At the same time, Egmont launched a new philanthropic strategy focusing on issues such as child poverty, education and participation for children and young people.
