WE LEAD THE WAY AND BUILD TOMORROW'S SOCIETY
Digitalisation is a crucial factor today for the delivery capability and competitiveness of enterprises. Our many years of experience, closeness to clients and broad expertise make us a very attractive digitalisation partner for both private and public players.
The digitalisation process involves exploiting technology to deliver products and services in line with user expectations, and to meet challenges as well as exploiting opportunities. This is a comprehensive and continuous job, because an enterprise can never say that it is "fully digitalised". Put simply, digitalisation is a matter of preparing for the future every single day.
We are a leading consultancy on IT and digital communication, which has developed an ability to understand the client's business and to collaborate on creating and developing good and long-term digital solutions.
This has given us very close client relationships and a steadily increasing volume of assignments – from both new and existing clients. We are a strategic partner for many enterprises, and our broad range of services in IT, design, communication and enterprise management mean we are often selected as a turnkey supplier. However, our close relationship with clients
is only possible because we conduct every assignment in line with strict requirements for security and accountability. Our regional model reduces bureaucracy and ensures short decision-making lines, giving us the adaptability needed to respond to each client's challenges in an ever-changing landscape.
Close ties are a competitive advantage, but also a precondition for being able to develop solutions of ever higher quality – in line with our vision. By solving assignments for and in company with important societal players, we are involved in helping society to progress.
At 30 June 2022, we had 1 912 employees at 13 offices in Norway and three in Sweden.

We have long been looking forward to a working day which is back to normal. This past quarter, we have experienced a blossoming of professional activities, events and social gatherings. That has created well-being, motivation and inspiration.
The excellent progress being made by our business was maintained in the quarter. We are building tomorrow's society with our clients, we are further developing our expertise and services, we are attracting new employees at a steady pace, we are increasing our turnover, and we are delivering solid profits.
We are increasing our presence with and contribution to our most important clients. This is a trend we have seen over time and are very pleased with. We are acquiring a more central place at our clients, who are increasingly taking advantage of our broad range of services, we are securing more responsibility and we are being shown ever greater trust. That strengthens our long-term and strategic role with our most important clients and partners.
The energy sector, including oil and gas, the development of new energy sources and energy supply, represents an expanding part of our business. Europe's energy crisis, combined with national and international targets related to the green shift, is also contributing to a high level of activity in this sector. Energy and its supply occupy a key place in shaping tomorrow's society, which motivates our entire organisation to contribute to this development.
Rapid changes are also occurring the industrial sector, driven by demands to improve energy efficiency and climate-friendliness as well as to increase productivity. That calls for investment in automation, robot technology and digitalisation. Technology alone does not produce change. Through digitalisation and automation, combined with organisational development, expertise and change management, we are able to realise the value potential and create tomorrow's industrial enterprises. We support our clients in this sector – from technology to organisation – within all these disciplines.
Through interaction with our most important clients, we can rapidly develop our delivery modes. Interacting with large and societally critical enterprises calls for binding forms of collaboration while also making big demands for flexibility and adjustments to capacity and expertise. Shifting from one-off assignment deliveries to binding and scalable service provision creates added value both for our clients and for us. We are happy this development, and will continue to pursue it in close cooperation with our clients.
We saw during the quarter that we have been able to reap the benefits of lessons learnt in the pandemic. We have never collaborated so much across the organisation, and never had so many deliveries made by teams of "Bouveteers" from different regions and offices.
A huge job is done every single day by all our personnel. This period represented a continuation of the level of activity we have seen emerge over the most recent quarters. The high level of activity reveals the great digitalisation ambitions among our clients as well as the job done every single day at our clients.
This quarter marked the final return to a working life we thrive best with – one characterised by a high level of professional and social fellowship, where learning and developing through mutual support and sharing occupy the place they deserve. The future calls for new and innovative expertise. One of our most important future tasks will be to invest in the expertise our clients need in the years to come. We do this best by seeking to understand the needs of our clients, by setting ambitious goals for learning and development, and by playing on our values and sharing culture.
I would direct a big thanks to all Bouveteers for the job done every single day at our clients, the dedication to sharing expertise by helping to support and boost colleagues, and not least the commitment to developing our social fellowship. There is reason to be proud of the job done
Many thanks.
Per Gunnar Tronsli President and CEO
Bouvet had operating revenues of NOK 734.9 million for the second quarter, compared with NOK 676 million in the same period of 2021. That represented a rise of 8.7 per cent. Fee income generated by the group's own employees came to NOK 627.6 million, up by 9.2 per cent from NOK 574.9 million in the second quarter of 2021. Fee income generated by subcontractors rose by 0.7 per cent from the same period of 2021 to NOK 83.8 million. Other revenues came to NOK 23.6 million, up by 31.4 per cent from the second quarter of 2021.
An increase of 10.1 per cent in the average number of employees from the second quarter of 2021 had a positive effect of NOK 60.3 million on fee income from the group's own personnel. An 0.5 percentage point increase in the billing ratio for the group's consultants from the second quarter of 2021 had a positive effect of NOK 3.3 million on fee income. An increase in holiday taken compared with the same period of last year reduced fee income from the group's own personnel by NOK 20.3 million. Rates for the group's hourly based services were up by 3.5 per cent from the second quarter of 2021, which increased fee income from the group's own employees by NOK 20.8 million. Other effects, such as progress in projects, sickness absence, time off in lieu and leave, had a negative impact of NOK 5.2 million on fee income from the group's own employees. All told, these factors had a positive effect of NOK 58.9 million on fee income generated by the group's own employees.
Sales to existing clients made good overall progress during the quarter. Clients who also used the group in the second quarter of 2021 accounted for 96.6 per cent of operating revenues. In addition, new clients acquired since 30 June 2021 contributed total operating revenues of NOK 24.7 million in the second quarter.
Bouvet's strategy is to use services from sub-contractors when it lacks the capacity to meet demand with its own personnel or when clients require leading-edge expertise outside the group's priority areas. The sub-contractor share of total revenues was 11.4 per cent in the second quarter, compared with 12.3 per cent in the same period of 2021.
For the first half of 2022, operating revenues were NOK 1 551.4 million compared with NOK 1 371.9 million in the same period of 2021. That represented a rise of 13.1 per cent.
Fee income generated by the group's own employees in the first half came to NOK 1 326.1 million, up by 14 per cent from the same period of 2021. The growth in fee income from the group's own employees largely reflected a 10.1 per cent increase in the average number of employees, a 1.5 percentage point increase in the billing ratio compared with the first half of 2021, and a 3.3 per rise in prices for the group's hourly based services. One more working day during the first half than in the same period of last year had a positive effect on income.
Fee income generated by sub-contractors in the first half rose by 3.1 per cent from the same period of 2021 to NOK 175.1 million. Other revenues came to NOK 50.2 million, up by 29.3 per cent from the first half of last year.
Bouvet's operating costs, including depreciation and amortisation, totalled NOK 645.7 million for the second quarter, up from NOK 592.2 million in the same period of 2021. That represented a rise of nine per cent. Payroll costs rose because of the increase in the average number of employees as well as a general growth in pay rates. The group experienced a general rise in pay of 2.6 per cent over the past 12 months. The cost of sales was NOK 85.1 million, compared with NOK
84.3 million in the second quarter of 2021, and primarily comprised procurement of sub-contractor services and software as well as the hire of course instructors. Other operating expenses rose overall by 66.2 per cent to NOK 59.2 million, primarily reflecting increased costs for software, premises, travel and social events. The increase in other operating costs can largely be explained as an effect of the Covid-19 pandemic's progress. The group sees that these costs are moving towards a normalised level now that the pandemic is over. Depreciation and amortisation came to NOK 19.8 million, compared with NOK 17.2 million in the second quarter of 2021.
For the first half of 2022, overall operating costs increased by 11.9 per cent from the same period of last year to NOK 1 339.4 million. The cost of sales was up by 1.6 per cent to NOK 175.9 million. Payroll costs rose by 11 per cent from the same period of 2021 to NOK 1 021.4 million. Other operating costs increased by 48.4 per cent to NOK 103.3 million. Depreciation and amortisation came to NOK 38.8 million, compared with NOK 34.6 million in the first half of 2021.
Operating profit (EBIT) for the second quarter came to NOK 89.2 million, compared with NOK 83.8 million in the same period of 2021. The EBIT margin was thereby 12.1 per cent, compared with 12.4 per cent for the second quarter of 2021. Net profit came to NOK 69.8 million, up from NOK 64.5 million in the same period of 2021. Diluted earnings per share were NOK 0.66 for the quarter, compared with NOK 0.62 in the same period of 2021.
Cumulative operating profit (EBIT) for the first half came to NOK 212 million, up by 21.4 per cent from NOK 174.6 million in the same period of 2021. The EBIT margin was thereby 13.7 per cent, compared with 12.7 per cent for the second quarter of 2021. Net profit for the first half amounted to NOK 165.3 million, up from NOK 133.9 million in the same period of 2021. Diluted earnings per share were NOK 1.57 for the first half, compared with NOK 1.29 in the same period of 2021.
Consolidated cash flow from operations was NOK 36.7 million for the second quarter, compared with NOK 42.1 million in the same period of 2021. Cash flow for the quarter was negatively affected by a reduction of NOK 63.8 million in current liabilities from the first quarter of 2022. A reduction of NOK 21.9 million in short-term receivables from the first quarter of 2022 had a positive effect on cash flow.
Consolidated cash flow from operations was NOK 126.7 million for the first half, compared with NOK 63.7 million in the same period of 2021. Consolidated cash flow over the past 12 months totalled NOK 346.7 million, while net profit for the same period was NOK 297.2 million.
Capital spending in the quarter totalled NOK 11.5 million, including NOK 7.8 million for the acquisition of new operating assets and NOK 3.7 million for investment in intangible assets. In the second quarter of 2021, capital spending totalled NOK 7.5 million, including NOK 5.5 million on fixed assets and NOK 2 million for intangible assets.
During the first half, capital spending totalled NOK 24.4 million, including NOK 16.6 million for the acquisition of new operating assets and NOK 7.8 million for investment in intangible assets. Net capital spending totalled NOK 24.3 million in the first half, compared with NOK 15.1 million in the same period of 2021.
The group's client portfolio consists mainly of large, solid listed companies and public enterprises. No significant bad debts were suffered during the second quarter, and the group has good oversight and control of its receivables.
The group has no interest-bearing debt. Bank deposits at 30 June totalled NOK 326.6 million, compared with NOK 377.2 million a year earlier. Of bank deposits at 30 June, the account for employee tax deductions totalled NOK 93.7 million. Disposable bank deposits thereby totalled NOK 232.9 million, compared with NOK 288.7 million at the same date in 2021. The group had an undrawn overdraft facility of NOK 100 million at 30 June. Bouvet held 804 607 of its own shares at 30 June.
A dividend of NOK 238.7 million was paid by Bouvet during the second quarter. Equity at 30 June totalled NOK 333.3 million, representing an equity ratio of 25.1 per cent. The corresponding figures for 30 June 2021 were an equity of NOK 339 million and an equity ratio of 27.2 per cent.
The group does not report internally by separate business areas. Its business is homogenous and pursued within the Scandinavian market for IT consultancy services. Risk and return are followed up for the business as a whole, with shared markets, on a project basis and per consultant. On that basis, the group has one reportable operating segment.
The level of activity related to digitalisation is extremely high, and the market for Bouvet's services was very good in the second quarter. As a long-term partner for big players in many sectors, the group primarily experienced this rise in activity through the extension and expansion of existing contracts. However, the acquisition of new clients and assignments was also good. While technical expertise was in great demand, the need for advice, design and communication was also high. This illustrates clearly that digitalisation is a cross-disciplinary exercise.
A number of players are now devoting substantial resources to comprehensive digitalisation initiatives with long time frames, and demand for Bouvet's services during the quarter rose in every sector where it has a presence. A high level of activity has accordingly been reported by all the group's regions.
The oil and gas sector, including its commitment to renewable energy, is important for Bouvet and accounted for 34.7 per cent of total turnover. Revenues from this sector rose by 29.9 per cent from the same quarter of 2021. During the quarter, the group secured a frame agreement with Repsol and extended the agreement with Equinor. Moreover, the latter accounted for expanded assignments related to gas sales as well as a high level of activity in developing low-code solutions on the Microsoft Power Platform and solutions for the offshore wind power part of the company's commitment to renewable energy and other low-carbon energy technologies (REN). A new team in Bergen will develop Power apps for Equinor. Bouvet also won several projects from Aker BP during the quarter, including development of a strategy for digital twins in digital asset management and working with the Enterprise Archive Factory, a service for standardised archiving and preserving data. Assignments in this sector now involve the group's full range of specialities, with the heaviest emphasis on technology. OMSETNING FRA KUNDER OMSETNING PER BRANSJE
Bouvet's clients in public administration and the armed forces accounted for 19.2 per cent of total turnover during the quarter. The pace of digitalisation in these sectors is high, with Bouvet's whole range of services in demand. The foremost example during the quarter was the Norwegian Coastal Administration, which awarded the group two large frame agreements. Bouvet also won a substantial frame agreement for ICT consultancy support for the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) and entered into an agreement related to data and analysis with the Norwegian Public Roads Administration. A number of other contracts, including from the City of Oslo, the Norwegian Courts Administration, the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority, Bane Nor and the armed forces, were extended or enlarged. The Västerbotten region is a new client in Sweden, with assignments in several service areas. One of these involves developing a plan for implementing fossil-free ground transport in the region by 2030.
Revenue from customer 100% public owned: 44.2%
Revenue from customer wholly or partially private owned: 55.8%
| Health | 3.3% |
|---|---|
| Industry | 3.9% |
| Info and communication | 5.1% |
| Power supply | 15.6% |
| Public admin | 19.2% |
| Oil & gas | 34.7% |
| Service industry | 6.2% |
| Transportation | 4.7% |
| Retail | 3.9% |
| Other | 3.4% |
The power sector accounted for 15.6 per cent of total turnover in the quarter. Assignments secured include a frame agreement from Agder Energy in such specialist areas as IT strategy and consultancy, system development services, architecture and infrastructure services, project management, and strategic and technical security advice. This agreement exemplifies a clear common denominator in enquiries from the sector – the need for a broad range of services and cross-disciplinary delivery teams. The group sees the same picture with such clients as Svenska Kraftnät, where it is delivering in the fields of development, design and management, and where it won a frame agreement for project management during the quarter. Mention should also be made of a number of new and varied assignments secured during the period from such players as Elvia, Statnett, Eviny and Fjordkraft. Teknologi
Both the need for digitalisation and the willingness to digitalise are expanding. Clear evidence of that was provided by Bouvet's assignments during the quarter. The group continued, for example, to experience growing interest from industry in how it can help to operationalise digitalisation. Bouvet's ever broader involvement with Boliden is a good example of this. Similarly, demand for digitalisation services is growing in the health sector, including several assignments for the Western and Central Norway Regional Health Authorities (RHAs), the development of new websites for the national centre of expertise on child medicine, and not least the extension of the agreement with the Swedish Medical Products Agency. During the quarter, Bouvet also secured a frame agreement from Voice for the implementation and administration of an e-commerce solution. A small project which also deserves a mention is an agreement with Nabogo to support the introduction of its carpooling app in Norway.
The range of enquiries from the group's clients provides clear evidence that digitalisation is a broad-based specialist exercise. That impression was reinforced during the second quarter, when the breadth of the group's capabilities won it many assignments. A clear increase was seen, for example, in the need for testing expertise and training. Design og kommunikasjon
Rådgivning Demand for Bouvet's consultancy services is still growing. That applies not least to security services as well as to testing and project management. A good example in the second quarter was the Western Norway RHA, where several assignments were secured. These include project management for the introduction of MS 365 in the RHA's ICT service. In addition, a consultancy contract on change management was secured during the period from Boliden. The group is now also delivering project management in three Swedish part-assignments related to strengthening crisis management and civil defence in the local authority health and social care service, with the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare as the client. Bouvet moreover secured an agreement to provide consultancy services for the Swedish Agency for Digital Government. It offer its consultancy services integrated with technology and design services, so that a complete service can be provided. That fits well with the market's desire for cross-disciplinary deliveries.
The Bouvet Course department also noted a significant increase in demand for expertise, including a record for June turnover. Many large clients devote considerable resources to expertise development, and book course for their employees far in advance. After the pandemic made virtual courses a necessity, physical sessions are once again the most popular. However, demand for virtual courses remains good.
Design og kommunikasjon The market for communication and design was good in the quarter, continuing the rise in demand related to user experience (UX), service design and design thinking witnessed over the past year. One example is the Directorate of Fisheries, where Bouvet is already at work on maintaining and developing everything from design systems to important forms and reports. Another good illustration is Bilpleie, a project for and with the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority where the goal is to simplify approval of companies providing car wash and tyre changing services. The group is providing its whole range of services here, including insight, analysis, design and user testing. During the quarter, Bouvet also experienced good demand for expertise in life cycle information (LCI). Its teams in this area are pursuing an approach to design thinking where attention is concentrated on flow and rapid development. Demand for user experience (UX) is also growing. Good examples here include Svenska Kraftnät and not least Inera, a programme for improving and developing new services in Sweden's health and social care sector.
Design og kommunikasjon Teknologi The market for various technology services has long been good, and the second quarter was no exception. Not least, last year's trend of increased demand for services related to security has continued in 2022. A number of enquiries in the second quarter related to back-end and front-end development, as well as to app and mobile development. Good examples here have been Fjordkraft and various services related to its app, and a case management system for parking administration in the City of Stockholm and other Swedish towns. Bouvet is also experiencing big demand for digital twins, technical information and Life Cycle Information (LCI). Low-code solutions for various business areas are also attractive to many, including the City of Oslo and Equinor. Since this is clearly a rapidly growing segment, the group entered into a partnership agreement during the quarter with Mendix precisely to strengthen its work in the low-code.
Sesam, a Bouvet subsidiary, delivers a unique data-quality component for data integration and master data management. It ensures fast and agile data synchronisation across systems without these having to be adapted.
At 30 June, the company had 11 partner agreements with national and international consultancies. During the quarter, Sesam and one of its partners performed a successful proof of concept which simplifies data flow between information and operational technologies, generally known as IT and OT.
The company has 23 clients divided between Norway and Sweden.
Bouvet had 1 912 employees at 30 June, up by 33 from the previous quarter and 164 from the same date in 2021.
The collective expertise of Bouvet's employees provides a good reflection of the needs of its clients for breadth and cross-disciplinary capabilities. Thanks to a historically high level of activity, the group has better opportunities than ever to offer its competent employees interesting and significant assignments. "We are builders of society" is the slogan which forms the basis for marketing Bouvet as an employer. This has proved effective in the group's recruitment efforts, and the campaign was also acclaimed by the Magnet Awards for high-quality employer branding.
A rewarding working day provides professional development in itself, but Bouvet also works actively to promote such progress through courses and further education. This was the first quarter for two years when the group could pursue its business without being affected by pandemic restrictions. This has given employees a long-desired opportunity to participate in various professional events as speakers and specialists, and in courses, conferences, seminars and meet-ups. Such involvement represents a valuable investment for Bouvet in expertise development.
Employees are also freer to choose where and how they want to work. As in many other places, the group sees that it is returning in many respects at full speed to the habits which prevailed before March 2020. That is demonstrated, for example, by the importance of the social aspect in the working day.
The unstable geopolitical position creates uncertainty for both the global and the Norwegian economies, with higher inflation as one consequence. This uncertainty is reinforced by the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Generally speaking, the group is exposed at any given time to various forms of operational, market and financial risk.
But examples can also be seen of the way the pandemic has changed Bouvet's mindset. This includes the formation of completely different routines for cooperation and increased collaboration over professional development and crossregional assignments. At the same time, business travel has been reduced.
The board and executive management work continuously on risk management and control. This is described in more detail on pages 29–30 and in note 23 in the annual report for 2021. See also section 10 in the report's presentation on corporate governance.
In all the sectors where Bouvet has a presence, digitalisation is an important instrument for the ability of the individual enterprise to operate and succeed in a shifting market and a changing society. A number of external factors affect enterprise strategies, business models, and behaviour by users and employees. That increases the complexity of developing business-critical solutions and has created great demand for the whole Bouvet service range. A number of features of the market and its client portfolio mean that the group believes this trend could persist.
Bouvet's existing clients constantly show renewed confidence in the group while also seeing the importance of involving more of its service areas in their digitalisation work. That lays the basis for collaborating more closely with Bouvet in order to put together good teams and find delivery modes tailored to the client's business and organisation. This indicates a continued trend towards increased demand for crossdisciplinary development teams, which comprise consultants with advisory, design and communication competence as well as technological and development expertise.
The group has long-term clients in the oil and gas and power sectors. Demands here to reduce environmental and climate impacts drive a need for solutions where digitalisation is a natural component. The latter thereby represents one of the key factors in the comprehensive transformation under way in these sectors.
Per Gunnar Tronsli President and CEO Tel: +47 23 40 60 00 | +47 900 20 622
Trude Hole CFO Tel: +47 23 40 60 00 | +47 977 10 344 Another growing trend is expertise transfer across sectors in order to speed up the pace of innovation. This is particularly noticeable in the industrial sector, where Bouvet's expertise from the oil and gas industry and broad range of services are relevant.
Within the public sector, digitalisation occupies a key place in developing services and adapting enterprises in their meeting with social change. Bouvet has built up expertise here over time and developed solutions which will make it an attractive partner in the future. Moreover, the group is organised for continuous expertise and service development and for sharing of experience and expertise across sectors. Its regional model makes Bouvet adaptable to changes in the market and at the individual client.
Much therefore seems to favour a continued high level of demand for Bouvet's services and further profitable growth.
The group is recruiting continuously, in strong competition with other players, to ensure good delivery capacity.

EBIT is short for earnings before interest and taxes. EBIT corresponds to operating profit in the consolidated income statement.
Net free cash flow is calculated as net cash flow from operations plus net cash flow from investing activities. EBITDA-margin is calculated as EBITDA divided by revenue.
EBIT-margin is calculated as EBIT divided by revenue.
Cash flow margin is calculated as Net cash flow from operations divided by revenue.
Equity ratio is calculated as total equity divided by total assets.
