Please find the Annual Report for 2012 at www.norwegian.com/annualreport2012

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS

An eventful year has passed. 2012 was a year of achievements and milestones: The largest European aircraft order in history for 222 new short-haul aircraft; the launch of 52 new routes, the delivery of 13 new aircraft and the launch of Norwegian’s eagerly awaited long-haul ticket sale.

2012 was also the year we celebrated Norwegian’s 10th anniversary. Capacity was up 18 percent and 17.7 million passengers chose to travel with us. Our focus on the cost base combined with a superior product enable us to offer inexpensive fares on our brand new, more eco-friendly aircraft – 80 percent equipped with free in-flight Wi-Fi - to a wide range of destinations in Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, North America and Southeast Asia. The combination of low cost and high quality resulted in the sixth consecutive year of net profit.

We have no plans to slow down in 2013 – quite the opposite. 2012 enabled us to create an even better platform for profitable international expansion. In 2013 we will receive another 14 brand new 737-800 aircraft and our first three 787 Dreamliners. We are opening our London Gatwick and Alicante bases in April, our third and fourth non-Nordic bases, followed by a long-haul crew base in Bangkok. This is the first - but probably not the last – non-European base.

The Norwegian group is a leading Nordic aviation company, headquartered at Fornebu outside Oslo, Norway. The company has over 8,200 employees and owns two of the prominent airlines in the Nordics: Norwegian Air Shuttle and Widerøe’s Flyveselskap. Widerøe was acquired by Norwegian in 2024, aiming to facilitate seamless air travel across the two airline’s networks.

Norwegian Air Shuttle, the largest Norwegian airline with around 4,700 employees, operates an extensive route network connecting Nordic countries to key European destinations. In 2023, Norwegian carried over 20 million passengers and maintained a fleet of 87 Boeing 737-800 and 737 MAX 8 aircraft.

Widerøe’s Flyveselskap, Norway’s oldest airline, is Scandinavia’s largest regional carrier. The airline has more than 3,500 employees. Mainly operating the short-runway airports in rural Norway, Widerøe operates several state contract routes (PSO routes) in addition to its own commercial network. In 2023, the airline had 3.3 million passengers and a fleet of 48 aircraft, including 45 Bombardier Dash 8’s and three Embraer E190-E2's. Widerøe Ground Handling provides ground handling services at 41 Norwegian airports.

The Norwegian group has sustainability as a key priority and has committed to significantly reducing carbon emissions from its operations. Among numerous initiatives, the most noteworthy is the investment in production and use of fossil-free aviation fuel (SAF). Norwegian strives to become the sustainable choice for its passengers, actively contributing to the transformation of the aviation industry.
