Financial Resilience Score: 6/10
TEC has a highly stable revenue base with approximately 87% of 2025 revenue (DKK 536m of 615m) coming from Danish state grants, providing non-cyclical, government-guaranteed funding. Management and auditor Deloitte have explicitly confirmed going-concern status with satisfactory liquidity. Strategic government backing is significant: TEC was designated one of Denmark's three 'climate vocational schools' in September 2024, with ring-fenced funding of ~DKK 105m/year 2024–2028 plus DKK 20m/year specifically for green transport. Student volumes rebounded 2% in 2025, reversing a 4-year decline, and applications for 2026 hit record levels. However, financial resilience is weakened by chronic net losses in 4 of the last 5 years, with the solvency ratio drifting down from 23.6% (2022) to 19.2% (2025). Financial gearing is high: long-term debt of DKK 770m against equity of DKK 229m, with mortgage loans totalling DKK 753m at a loan-to-value ratio of 88.9%. Liquidity has halved from DKK 289m (end-2023) to DKK 90m (end-2025) due to large real-estate investments. The 2026 budget projects only a marginal +DKK 1m result, providing thin margin for error. The operational result is positive but financial costs (DKK 17.3m interest, net) push net results into deficit.
Key strengths: 87% of revenue from stable Danish state grants, Going-concern confirmed by Deloitte with satisfactory liquidity, Designated climate vocational school with ring-fenced funding through 2028, Solid real-estate base (DKK 988m book value) collateralizing mortgage debt, Student volumes rebounded 2% in 2025 after 11% decline 2021-2024, Record application levels for 2026 intake, Positive operating result of DKK 10.2M in 2025
Risk factors: Chronic net losses in 4 of last 5 years, Solvency ratio declining to 19.2% (2025), High financial gearing: DKK 770m long-term debt vs DKK 229m equity, Loan-to-value ratio of 88.9% on mortgage loans, Cash halved from DKK 289m (2023) to DKK 90m (2025) due to capex, Thin 2026 budgeted result of only +DKK 1m, Contingent DKK 3.5m lawsuit from Hovedstadens Letbane I/S, Operating lease commitments of DKK 77.7m remaining, Cost pressure with total costs rising 4.5% in 2025, Parallel occupancy of new and old Ballerup premises increasing building costs 8%
