EQVA Group, including Kvinnherad Elektro and Vassnes Group, on a full-year pro-forma basis:
Pro-forma FY'2024 revenue (million) 1.000 - 1.200 (+300)
Pro-forma FY'2024 EBITDA margin 5 - 6%(6-8%)
Higher sales of flow-through goods boost revenue against prior estimates but reduce margin due to lower profit from these goods compared to direct labor sales
Long-term EBITDA margin target for the group at 7-9 per cent and EBITA/WC > 40%
* Guidance figures are excluding the effect of the sale of Charisma (occurred in Q1 2024)

BKS Industri was awarded the main contract, along with several subcontracts, for the installation of process piping and associated structures and fittings
Across foundry, piping systems, casting, and infrastructure, a total of 30km of piping will be installed
The installation will take place within a 'live' factory environment, involving work in both new and existing areas, with the latter demanding rigorous attention to health, safety, and environmental standards, meticulous planning, and skilled personnel
BKS is responsible for supplying all pipes, pipe fittings, valves, supports, clamps, and structural steel for clamps
In total, over 500 tons of piping and fastening materials will be delivered, fabricated, and installed
Given the high-temperature processes within the facility, stringent requirements for heat insulation of process piping and equipment are mandated
