We are continuously launching new products that strengthen our competitive position and expand our addressable market, and we see rapid adoption of the AI-assisted development tools we have launched to help our customers become even more productive, says CEO Vegard Wollan in Nordic Semiconductor.

-While our revenue growth has been strongest in the broad market over the past year, we also see a strong pipeline with key customers working towards introducing more intelligent end-user devices in the time to come. We have a very strong offering across compute performance, memory capabilities, power usage and compact size, and combined with leading edge AI hardware, software and tools this makes us well-positioned to benefit from the megatrend of universal AI adoption, adds Wollan.

Reported EBITDA for the first nine months increased to USD 93 million from USD 51 million in the same period last year, whereas adjusted EBITDA increased to USD 100 million from USD 54 million in the first nine months 2025.
