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 far-reaching 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, which gives 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 31 December 2021, we had 1 841 employees at 14 offices in Norway and three in Sweden.

Digitalisation is continuing with great vigour in every sector. The changes taking place in society are thoroughgoing, call for developments in and changes to organisation and culture, and are occurring hand-in-hand with rapid technological progress and adoption.
This quarter has been characterised for us by solid turnover, good profitability and very positive feedback from both customer and employee surveys.
The quarter was once again strongly affected by the pandemic. Reopening society early in the period provided the longed-for inspiration, in that we were finally able get back together and share expertise and experience in ways we had missed. We could once again enjoy fellowship and inspiration from physical meetings between people. We must hope that the shutdown at the end of the quarter represents the final throes of this pandemic.
I would extend a big thank-you to all "Bouveteers" for their tireless commitment, unquenchable enthusiasm and ability to take care of our community and colleagues in a unusual time. The job done every single day continues to develop us as a community and workplace, creates value for our clients, and builds tomorrow's society.
The digitalisation of society calls for the cross-disciplinary capabilities we find in our ranks. Enterprise consultancy creates commercial results, change management develops organisations, and enterprise and design expertise realises new services for a digital age. Combining this commercial competence with our technological knowledge allows us to create great value for our clients.
We produce forward-looking answers through our expertise in designing and developing digital solutions, security, and platform services for secure and accessible solutions, combined with innovative technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning. We delivered on this cross-disciplinary capability every day throughout the quarter. That is something we will continue to pursue through purposeful expertise and service development.
During the quarter, we also experienced how our clients need ever more of the expertise we offer. The increased level of activity we saw during the period was driven by existing clients increasing their purchases. We place great store by this trend. Not only are we increasingly able to support and add value to our most important clients, but ever closer collaboration also means that we are accorded trust and assignments which enhance both our clients and ourselves. Growing trust leads to more responsibility, which helps in turn to reinforce and continue developing long-term customer relations.
Our clients are all important societal players. At a time when information security is of the greatest importance, this must be as good as possible both organisationally and

technologically. With our many years of experience in the defence and legal sectors, and from clients providing critical social infrastructure such as energy supply, health care and public services, we can deliver on these security requirements. We believe in closeness to our clients, and we deliver local expertise with the reassurance and transparency this provides. Our security expertise, ability to deliver nationwide, and solid experience of building socially critical solutions allows us to lead the way along with our clients and to construct an even more secure society for both today and tomorrow.
The client satisfaction survey we conducted during the quarter gave very positive confirmation of the value we create for them every single day. Our clients say they are met with a proactive attitude, an open and trusting mode of collaboration, leading-edge expertise and a cross-disciplinary approach, which make important contributions to the work of transforming their own operations. We are pleased and proud to be able to build tomorrow's society with our clients.
We are convinced that satisfied employees create satisfied clients. The employee survey carried out during the quarter gave very positive confirmation of the strength of job satisfaction in our ranks. Job satisfaction, motivation with the work and the way Bouveteers acquire the personal development they dream of – it is gratifying to see positive feedback on these important questions. That said, the job of delivering on our ambition of being the world's best workplace is by no means finished. As ever, this work will be our most important priority in the time to come.
I would again express deep thanks to all the Bouveteers who create value every day for our clients, share their expertise every day and contribute every day to the fellowship we all appreciate so much.
Many thanks.
Per Gunnar Tronsli President and CEO
Bouvet had operating revenues of NOK 739.6 million for the fourth quarter, compared with NOK 645.6 million in the same period of 2020. That represented a rise of 14.6 per cent. Fee income generated by the group's own employees came to NOK 635.3 million, up by 16.5 per cent from NOK 545.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Fee income generated by sub-contractors rose by 7.3 per cent from the same period of 2020 to NOK 81.3 million. Other revenues came to NOK 23 million, down by 6.9 per cent from the fourth quarter of 2020.
An increase of 11.4 per cent in the average number of employees from the fourth quarter of 2020 had a positive effect of NOK 63.7 million on fee income from the group's own personnel. The quarter had one more working day than the same period of 2020, which increased fee income from the group's own employees by NOK 8.8 million. Rates for the group's hourly based services were up by two per cent from the fourth quarter of 2020, which increased fee income from the group's own employees by NOK 11.2 million. A 3.1 percentage point increase in the billing ratio for the group's consultants from the fourth quarter of 2020 had a positive effect of NOK 21.6 million on fee income. Sickness absence in the quarter was up by 1.4 percentage points from the same period of 2020, which reduced fee income from the group's own employees by 7.3 million. More parental leave and holiday were also taken compared with the fourth quarter of 2020, reducing fee income from the group's own employees by 6.7 million. Other effects, such as progress in projects and time off in lieu, had a negative impact of NOK 1.1 million on fee income from the group's own employees. All told, these factors had a positive effect of NOK 90.2 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 fourth quarter of 2020 accounted for 95.9 per cent of operating

revenues. In addition, new clients acquired since 31 December 2020 contributed total operating revenues of NOK 30.2 million in the fourth 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 per cent in the fourth quarter, compared with 11.7 in the same period of 2020.
Operating revenues for 2021 as a whole came to NOK 2 695.1 million, compared with NOK 2 401.8 million the year before. That represented a rise of 12.2 per cent. Fee income generated by the group's own employees for the full year rose by NOK 271.1 million or 13.4 per cent from 2020. This increase primarily reflected a 9.4 per cent growth in the average number of employees, a 1.8 percentage point increase in the billing ratio for the group's consultants, and a 1.2 per cent rise in rates for the group's hourly based services. In addition, operating revenues generated by sub-contractors for the full year rose by 6.2 per cent from 2020. Other revenues increased by NOK 3.6 million or 4.9 per cent from 2020.
Bouvet's operating costs, including depreciation and amortisation, totalled NOK 635.7 million for the fourth quarter, up from NOK 554 million in the same period of 2020. That represented a rise of 14.7 per cent. Payroll costs rose by 14.8 per cent to NOK 477.6 million, reflecting a rise in the average number of employees as well as the general growth in pay rates. The group experienced a general rise in pay of 1.9 per cent over the past 12 months. The cost of sales was NOK 86.2 million, compared with NOK 82.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, and primarily comprised procurement of sub-contractor services and software as well as the hire of course instructors. Other operating expenses rose overall by NOK 15.8 million,
primarily reflecting increased costs for software, social events and recruitment. Depreciation and amortisation came to NOK 17.7 million, compared with NOK 17.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Total operating costs, including depreciation and amortisation, for the full year rose by 12.8 per cent from 2020 to NOK 2 355 million. The cost of sales was up by 5.8 per cent to NOK 326.6 million, primarily because of increased use of sub-contractors. Payroll costs for the full year grew by 13.3 per cent from 2020 to NOK 1 790 million. Other operating expenses rose overall by NOK 36.8 million from 2020, primarily reflecting increased costs for software, social events and recruitment. Depreciation and amortisation amounted to NOK 69.7 million, compared with NOK 67 million in 2020.
The increase in other operating costs was largely an effect of the development of the Covid-19 pandemic. The group expects the rise in these costs will continue to move towards a normalised level as the pandemic recedes.
Operating profit (EBIT) for the fourth quarter came to NOK 103.9 million, compared with NOK 91.6 million in the same period of 2020. The EBIT margin was thereby 14 per cent, compared with 14.2 per cent for the fourth quarter of 2020. Net profit came to NOK 85.5 million, up from NOK 69.1 million in the same period of 2020. Diluted earnings per share were NOK 0.82 for the quarter, compared with NOK 0.67 in the same period of 2020.
Cumulative operating profit for the full year came to NOK 340.1 million, compared with NOK 314.6 million in 2020. That represented an increase of 8.1 per cent. The EBIT margin was thereby 12.6 per cent, compared with 13.1 per cent in 2020. Net profit for the full year came to NOK 265.9 million, up from NOK 241.2 million in 2020. Diluted earnings per share for the full year were NOK 2.55, compared with NOK 2.33 in 2020.
Consolidated cash flow from operations was NOK 201.6 million for the fourth quarter, compared with NOK 198.7 million in the same period of 2020. Cash flow for the quarter was positively affected by an increase of NOK 77.8 million in current liabilities and a reduction of NOK 21.1 million in short-term receivables from the third quarter of 2021. For the full year, consolidated cash flow from operations totalled NOK 294.1 million, compared with NOK 450.9 million in 2020.
Capital spending in the quarter totalled NOK 10.8 million, including NOK 8.2 million for the acquisition of new operating assets and NOK 2.6 million for investment in intangible assets. In the fourth quarter of 2020, capital spending totalled NOK 3.8 million, including NOK 2.2 million on fixed assets and NOK 1.6 million for intangible assets.
Total investment for the full year amounted to NOK 31.9 million, including NOK 22 million for operating assets and NOK 9.9 million for intangible assets. The group sold operating assets for NOK 0.2 million during 2021, so that net investment for the full year came to NOK 31.7 million, compared with NOK 27.4 million in 2020.
The group's client portfolio consists mainly of large, solid listed companies and public enterprises. No significant bad debts were suffered during the quarter, and the group has good oversight and control of its receivables.
The group has no interest-bearing debt. Bank deposits at 31 December totalled NOK 541.2 million, compared with NOK 576.8 million a year earlier. Of bank deposits at 31 December, the account for employee tax deductions totalled NOK 65.1 million. Disposable bank deposits thereby totalled NOK 476.1 million, compared with NOK 519 million at the same date in 2020. The group had an undrawn overdraft facility of NOK 100 million at 31 December. Bouvet held 4 670 of its own shares at 31 December.
Equity at 31 December totalled NOK 449.3 million, representing an equity ratio of 33 per cent. The corresponding figures for 31 December 2020 were an equity of NOK 422.9 million and an equity ratio of 32.6 per cent.
At its meeting of 9 November 2021, the board of Bouvet ASA exercised the mandate provided by the annual general meeting and resolved to pay a supplementary dividend of NOK 0.50 per share for fiscal 2020. The dividend was paid on 23 November 2021.
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 market for Bouvet's services was again good during the fourth quarter. Its commitment to long-term customer relationships yields trust and continuity, and a number of existing clients extended and expanded their assignments in the period. At the same time, this illustrates a clear market trend – an ever-growing number of clients see that digitalisation demands a cross-disciplinary commitment. That was also reflected in the assignments Bouvet won from new clients during the quarter. Demand was high and spread over many disciplines – and we had the expertise to meet it.
Bouvet received a good flow of orders during the quarter in every sector where it has a presence. The background is the extensive digitalisation initiatives now launched by many players in both public and private sectors.
Oil and gas represent a big business area for Bouvet, accounting for 32,6 per cent of total turnover. Revenues from this sector rose by NOK 77,8 million from the same quarter of 2020. While petroleum production is still the main business, assignments also provide several signs of the industry's green focus. Both sustainable utilisation of oil and gas and efficient use of renewable energy sources call for extensive digitalisation. Bouvet's work for Equinor expanded during the quarter, and it began establishing "test as a service" and "enterprise architect as a service" for Aker BP. The group also secured a frame agreement with the Petroleum Safety Authority Norway and a preliminary design study for the next-generation data platform from the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate. Mention should also be made of WaveTech, an energy-storage innovator which is now receiving communication services from Bouvet.
Turnover from clients in the power sector accounted for 16 per cent of total revenues during the quarter, and rose by NOK 8,3 million from the same period of 2020. With power generation crucial for a sustainable society, Bouvet is experiencing a rising number of enquiries from this industry. A general feature of the sector is that players often scale up existing assignments and seek cross-disciplinary product teams as well as large, long-term partners. Bouvet serves as a partner of this kind with such clients as Statnett, BKK and Lyse. Developments in the fourth quarter include an expanding involvement with Lyse through a web team which will work on this client's consumer app. It also made enquiries about a job concerning smart management of electricity supply. In Sweden, Bouvet has won assignments for Svenska Kraftnät.

Bouvet's clients in public administration accounted for 21,5 per cent of total turnover during the quarter. The pace of digitalisation in this sector is high, and a number of major initiatives are now being rigged for start-up. Project, development and test managers, as well as various consultancy services, are therefore much in demand. During the quarter, Bouvet secured extended and expanded assignments from such clients as the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority, the Norwegian Directorate of Mining, several county councils, the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries, the County Governor Shared Services and Sweden's Royal Institute of Technology. The group also won new assignments from clients like the Norwegian Courts Administration as well as several highly interesting frame agreements from the Norwegian police, Bane NOR, the University of Tromsø/Norway's Arctic University and not least the new Norwegian Agency for Shared Services in Education and Research (Sikt). Teknologi
Bouvet's assignments during the quarter revealed clearly that digitalisation is expanding. Many digital initiatives are under way in the health care sector, and the group is involved with many of these. One example of an important efficiency gain in the health service is provided by digital pathology. Bouvet has been working on a national project for this over several years, which is also continuing in 2022. In addition, the group won assignments during the quarter from Inomed, the Norwegian Health Network and Aleris Sjukvård, as well as the Southern and Eastern, Western, Central and Northern Norway Regional Health Authorities. A pen test was delivered to the Western Norway RHA. Bouvet also secured new assignments from various players, such as Color Line, the Norwegian Union of Municipal and General Employees and Komplett, and won new clients like Jula and Aptic. It can deploy the whole range of its expertise in these cases.
The steadily growing demand for cross-disciplinary teams is a clear sign that digitalisation is a broad-based specialist exercise. That is reflected in turn by activity in all Bouvet's service areas. The breadth of the group's capabilities has won it many assignments in a number of different engagements. Design og kommunikasjon
Rådgivning The number of enterprises seeking Bouvet's consultancy services is growing rapidly. A new frame agreement with the police, for example, includes advice on strategy and digital management. Knowledge about agile coaching at both project and enterprise levels is also in great demand, and the group established a separate department for agility advisers during the quarter. Bouvet also delivered consultancy services in sustainability during the period to such clients as Norlandia and Asker local authority, and will contribute to the latter's "sustainability bank". Consultancy can be integrated with technology and design services to provide an integrated solution for the client. Cross-functional service deliveries ensure quality.
The Bouvet Course department has also noted growing demand for expertise on agile coaching. Developed by a team from Bouvet itself, the introductory course on this subject has been one of the department's most popular programmes. Other sought-after courses include innovation and design methodology. Both virtual and physical courses have been in demand.
Design og kommunikasjon The market for communication and design was good in the fourth quarter, with the past year's rise in demand for service design and design thinking persisting. That also applies to design sprint as a methodology for workshops and development projects. In addition, design systems are being increasingly used by clients and Bouvet assisted a number of players here during the quarter. The group's services related to content and communication also experienced growth, with ever-greater demand for content which builds bridges between technology and users, and lays the basis for good user experiences. A small but good example of Bouvet's expertise and assignments which fit well with its vision of creating solutions which mean something is provided by the group's contribution to Unicef's Christmas campaign. This enhanced the user experience and the visual design while strengthening data security. That helped to boost turnover for the campaign by 58 per cent compared with 2020.
Design og kommunikasjon Teknologi All Bouvet's technology services experienced a positive trend during the quarter. A particular feature was the rise in demand for support from clients seeking low-code/no-code tools. A low-code data platform, for example, has been crucial for the City of Oslo during the Covid 19 pandemic. Furthermore, integration and cloud services have been much-needed in both Norway and Sweden, and many enquiries have been received concerning digital ecosystems and platforms. Substantial interest is moreover being shown in data mesh, a method for organising data-platform teams and thereby optimising value creation. The market's greatest need during the quarter remained for system development services.
Sesam, a Bouvet subsidiary, delivers a unique component which means that systems can communicate with each other without the need for changes, and ensures optimal data quality for data-driven solutions. This makes it simpler to build cost-effective and value-enhancing data platforms by reducing the number of integrations and making master data accessible.
Sesam had 24 clients divided between Norway, Sweden and Germany at 31 December. These include Oslo University Hospital, Elektroskandia, Statnett, the Norwegian and Swedish medicines agencies, Bane NOR, Elvia and Avinor.
At 31 December, the company had 11 partner agreements with national and international consultancies. That includes a close collaboration with Cognizant in both Norway and Europe.
At 31 December, Bouvet had 1 841 employees. Collectively, this workforce represents a diversity of personalities, ages, genders, expertise, and work and life experience. It was up by 8 from the previous quarter and 185 from the same date in 2020.
The collective expertise of Bouvet's employees reflects the needs of its clients well. In line with the market's desire for integration and a cross-disciplinary approach, the group has nevertheless taken steps to make even better use of its broad capabilities. This has first and foremost meant continued strengthening of internal cross-disciplinary networks where different specialists can develop each other and create better services. The value is great – competent employees want to progress professionally, and Bouvet thereby creates development opportunities in day-to-day work and equips more of its employees to participate in a wider range of assignments.
Another component in the group's collective professional development is Bouvet One, which most of the regions were finally able to stage physically again during the quarter. This is a half-yearly seminar, with 10 or so internal speakers from all parts of the group, which tops up skills, increases understanding of each other's disciplines, and builds community spirit and social ties across the organisation.
Professional development and good, meaningful projects create job satisfaction. That is important if Bouvet is to retain employees in an overheated labour market, naturally in combination with various social measures. During the quarter,
Bouvet devoted much innovation energy to creating social arenas within the framework imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
November's employee survey revealed a high level of job satisfaction in Bouvet's workforce. This reflects interesting assignments with exciting challenges and pride in their own workplace. However, the survey is primarily conducted to identify the potential for improvement. The group can thereby ensure that the high level of satisfaction is maintained.
Normality for many employees during the quarter was a hybrid working day divided between home, clients and Bouvet's own premises. This position is expected to persist.
Uncertainty prevails about economic trends and global developments. In addition comes uncertainty over the impact of Covid-19, both short-term and over a longer period.
Generally speaking, the group is exposed at any given time to various forms of operational, market and financial risk. The
board and executive management work continuously on risk management and control. This is described in more detail on pages 25-26 and in note 23 in the annual report for 2020. See also section 10 in the report's presentation on corporate governance.
Digitalisation is a key to developing agile enterprises which can cope with frequent changes to operating assumptions, solve complex problems and meet ever-increasing demands – such as for sustainability. In every sector where it has a presence, Bouvet encounters enterprises which have digitalisation as an integrated element in developing their own business.
Specifically, digitalisation gives enterprises improved flexibility, greater ability to innovate, and increased opportunities for thinking along new lines around their own value creation. Exploiting data will also lay the basis for better decisions, while utilising artificial intelligence and machine learning permit automation and efficiency enhancements. However,
digitalisation also involves risk and increasing it will make data security enterprise-critical.
The scope of digitalisation means that enterprises have a growing need for cross-disciplinary expertise in design, technology and consultancy in order to succeed with their transformation and continued value creation. Bouvet has a breadth of expertise, delivery teams, closeness to clients and a sharing culture which mean it is well positioned to respond to this requirement and thereby to secure continued growth.
The group is recruiting continuously, in strong competition with other players, to ensure good delivery capacity.
