Ørsted's offshore business EBITDA in Q1 2026 was DKK 7.5 billion, up DKK 1.2 billion from the same period last year.

Unresolvable The public record could not settle it.

What would count as true or false

True if Ørsted's Q1 2026 offshore EBITDA was DKK 7.5bn and Q1 2025 offshore EBITDA was about DKK 6.3bn (increase DKK 1.2bn), rounding to one decimal. Mostly true if either figure is off by ≤0.1–0.2bn with an increase still shown. Mixed if the level matches but the increase is materially different, or vice versa. Mostly false if both are materially off but EBITDA still rose. False if offshore EBITDA did not increase or figures are substantially different.

Evidence

1. Interim financial report Q1 2025.pub Ørsted A/S · 7 May 2025 Own record

   “EBITDA from our offshore sites amounted to DKK 7.7 billion, which was an increase of DKK 0.7 billion (10 %) compared to the same period last year, mainly driven by ramp-up of generation and higher availability.”

2. Interim financial report Q1 2026.pub Ørsted A/S · 27 August 2026 Own record

   “EBITDA excluding new partnerships and cancellation fees increased 11% amounted to DKK 9.5 billion in Q1 2026, compared to DKK 8.9 billion in the same period last year.”

3. Interim financial report Q1 2026.pub Ørsted A/S · 27 August 2026 Own record

   “In our Offshore business, we delivered high availability rates of 93 % and generation output of 6.9 TWh in the first quarter, an increase of 27 % compared to the same period last year.”

Reasoning

E1 gives Q1 2025 EBITDA for 'offshore sites' of DKK 7.7 billion. That may be a different measure from the 'offshore business' total, which could be restated, so it neither confirms nor clearly contradicts the implied DKK 6.3 billion baseline. E2 and E3 come from the Q1 2026 report but give only group-level EBITDA and offshore operating data, not a Q1 2026 offshore EBITDA figure. The evidence does not settle the claimed DKK 7.5 billion level or the DKK 1.2 billion increase.
