InstallatørGruppen A/S announces intention to pursue an initial public offering on Nasdaq Copenhagen

InstallatørGruppen, a leading provider of multi-disciplinary technical installation services in Denmark and Switzerland, today announces its intention to pursue an initial public offering and to admit its shares for trading on Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S (“Nasdaq Copenhagen”).

The contemplated admission to trading is expected to support InstallatørGruppen’s continued acquisition strategy by broadening and diversifying the shareholder base, further strengthening the Group’s strategic and financial position, enhancing its visibility within the technical installation industry, and improving access to attractive acquisition targets.

Since its establishment in early 2023 through the acquisition of 11 Danish technical installation companies, InstallatørGruppen has completed more than 45 acquisitions and expanded across Denmark and Switzerland. Today, the Group comprises 42 Danish and five Swiss portfolio companies operating within Heating and Plumbing, Electrical, Ventilation, Cooling and Adjacent Disciplines. From 2023 to 2025, the Group’s reported revenue increased from DKK 1.4bn to DKK 3.7bn, corresponding to an average annual growth rate of 63%. The Group’s combined revenue and combined adjusted EBITA were DKK 4.2bn and DKK 410m, respectively, in 2025.

InstallatørGruppen is currently majority owned by FSN Capital GP VI Limited acting in its capacity as general partner or portfolio manager (as relevant) on behalf of certain funds (“FSN Capital”) together with approximately 300 minority shareholders, primarily consisting of former owners and management teams from the portfolio companies, as well as employees, board members and key executives across the Group. The contemplated initial public offering is expected to comprise an offering of existing shares by existing shareholders.

Jesper Teddy Lok, Chair of InstallatørGruppen, says: “InstallatørGruppen has established a strong position in the Danish technical installation market and successfully expanded into Switzerland within a short period of time. The Swiss expansion demonstrates the Group’s ability to establish strong local market positions beyond Denmark while continuing to build on the local culture and customer proximity. This provides a strong foundation for continued expansion into additional fragmented European technical installation markets over time, with entry into a third market expected next year.”

Niels Eldrup Meidahl, Group CEO of InstallatørGruppen, says: “InstallatørGruppen is built on strong local companies, skilled employees and close customer relationships. Our decentralised model allows portfolio companies to preserve their identity and continue operating locally, while benefiting from the scale and capabilities of a larger group. This combination has supported the Group’s growth across Denmark and Switzerland, and it continues to attract new companies to the platform.”

Christian Jelsbech, Investment Director at FSN Capital Partners, says: “The combination of operational autonomy and disciplined acquisitions has enabled InstallatørGruppen to rapidly scale across Denmark and Switzerland while preserving the strengths of the individual companies. The development of InstallatørGruppen reflects FSN Capital’s long-standing conviction that decentralised service platforms can create significant long-term value in fragmented markets. This approach has proven successful in recent years, and we believe InstallatørGruppen is well positioned to continue its successful long-term development and expansion.”

Information about InstallatørGruppen

InstallatørGruppen operates across Denmark and Switzerland through a network of locally anchored portfolio companies with strong positions in their respective regional markets. Under the Group’s decentralised business model, portfolio companies retain local management, customer relationships and brands while benefiting from the scale and capabilities of a larger group.

The portfolio companies provide installation, service and maintenance of technical systems across residential, commercial, industrial and public-sector end markets, including electrical installations, heat pumps, district heating, ventilation, cooling, building automation, solar installations and fire safety solutions.

Sustainability is integrated into the Group’s operating model and service offering. Through energy-efficient technical installations and related services, InstallatørGruppen supports customers in improving energy efficiency and reducing environmental impact across buildings and infrastructure.

Selected key strengths

InstallatørGruppen has built a strong platform for future growth, with several key strengths supporting the Group’s ability to execute its strategy and drive long-term value creation.

Well positioned in a sizeable and growing market

InstallatørGruppen operates in the attractive and resilient technical installation market, which is supported by long-term structural growth drivers including electrification, increasing energy efficiency requirements, an ageing building stock and increasing technical complexity in buildings. Demand is further supported by a high share of renovation, service and maintenance activities, which historically have demonstrated resilience across economic cycles.

The technical installation markets in Denmark and Switzerland represented an estimated combined market value of approximately DKK 142bn in 2025 and are expected to grow to approximately DKK 165bn by 2030 corresponding to an average annual growth rate of approximately 3%.

Proven compounder platform for continued expansion through M&A

InstallatørGruppen has developed a disciplined and well-defined acquisition approach focused on profitable owner-managed businesses with stable earnings, strong cash flow generation and solid local market positions. The Group’s acquisitions are primarily funded through dividends and returns from its portfolio companies, as well as cash and drawings under existing banking agreements.

The Danish and Swiss markets remain highly fragmented, with a large number of smaller local and regional operators, creating attractive consolidation opportunities and a significant pipeline of potential targets. The Group has identified approximately 260 companies in Denmark and approximately 1,000 –1,250 companies in Switzerland that meet its acquisition criteria.

Multi-disciplinary and resilient business model with diversified revenue streams

The Group operates a multi-disciplinary platform across various technical installation disciplines, providing diversified revenue streams across project types, customer segments and geographies. This diversification supports resilience across economic cycles, with exposure to both new-build activity and more resilient renovation and service work. The Group’s portfolio of more than 45 companies further enables cross-selling opportunities between complementary technical capabilities, supporting organic growth, improved capacity utilisation and margin development.

Scalable decentralised operating model

InstallatørGruppen’s decentralised operating model allows portfolio companies to retain local decision-making and strong local customer relationships while benefiting from Group-wide capabilities, including procurement agreements, ESG capabilities, operational support and best-practice sharing. The model supports operational flexibility, efficient onboarding of acquired businesses and continued local engagement following acquisitions. The retention of local identity and operational autonomy contributes positively to the Group’s attractiveness among owner-managed businesses and is a key differentiator in attracting new acquisition targets.

The Group’s expansion into Switzerland demonstrates the scalability of its operating model beyond Denmark and its ability to establish strong local market positions in new geographies. The Group has identified several potential markets for future expansion and expects to enter an additional market in 2027.

Financial information

InstallatørGruppen has demonstrated strong organic and inorganic revenue growth, earnings development and cash generation since establishment, while maintaining strong profitability throughout a period of significant acquisition activity and expansion into Switzerland.

The following table sets forth the Group’s key financial and operating performance indicators as of or for the financial years ended 31 December 2025 and 2024 and the period from 27 February 2023 to 31 December 2023.

By year-end 2025, the Group’s combined adjusted EBITA amounted to DKK 410 million (year-end 2025 combined adjusted EBITDA: DKK 485 million). Year-to-date 2026, the Group has completed six acquisitions and signed one, contributing a combined DKK 54 million of EBITA (and approximately DKK 59 million of EBITDA) based on the acquired companies’ last financial year.

Financial outlook for 2026, mid-term ambitions and capital allocation policy

For 2026, InstallatørGruppen expects combined revenue in the range of DKK 5.45-5.70bn and combined adjusted EBITA in the range of DKK 475-525m.

InstallatørGruppen has set the following mid-term ambitions:

• Annual organic revenue growth of 3-5%
• A reported EBITA margin of approximately 9%
• Annual combined acquired adjusted EBITA contributions of DKK 100-150m
• Adjusted cash conversion before M&A and pre-tax above 85%
• Combined adjusted return on capital employed (ROCE) of approximately 20%
• A net interest-bearing debt to combined adjusted EBITDA ratio below 2.5x

InstallatørGruppen’s capital allocation policy is, in order of priority, to repay debt when leverage is above target, value-adding acquisitions in Denmark, Switzerland and in potential future markets, and distribution of surplus cash to shareholders.
