The third quarter of 2019 has been another quarter with growth in both net revenue and EBIT. Adjusted net revenue is increasing 14% YoY, while adjusted EBIT is increasing 8% YoY. Both volume growth and margin improvements have a positive impact on this quarter's result. The mobile segment is showing a strong growth, with the highest quarterly growth since the launch in Q2 2017, and Fjordkraft's mobile subscribers are also on top when it comes to customer satisfaction in the consumer market. It has been a good quarter.
Temperatures in the quarter have been warmer than normal* in three out of three months. However, two out of three months have been colder than in Q3 2018, which is part of the reason for the volume growth YoY. The growth of ~22k deliveries YoY in the Consumer and Business segments is also contributing positively to the volume growth.
Building upon the "Klimanjaro" initiative that was awarded the United Nations' Climate Action Award, Fjordkraft is now launching "Klimahub". This is a nation-wide database with information about a firm's climate actions and focus. It includes an easy-to-use solution for businesses to calculate and register their CO2 emissions and climate actions, and Fjordkraft offers counselling and CO2 quotas to help businesses become climate neutral. Companies should use their purchasing power to ensure climate neutrality, and we hope "Klimahub" can make this easier.
The Consumer segment shows a positive trend driven by both organic growth and acquisition. The Consumer segment comprised 542 thousand electricity deliveries at the end of Q3 2019, which represents a total growth of 9,973 deliveries from second quarter 2019, of which 2,274 organically. The volume sold in third quarter 2019 was 1,232 GWh, which is a 9% increase from the third quarter 2018. The increase in average volume per delivery of 6% is the main driver for the increase.
Adjusted net revenue in the Consumer segment amounts to 180 NOKm, a YoY growth of 15%. About 60% of the increase is driven by volume growth.
Adjusted OPEX amounts to 142 NOKm in the third quarter of 2019, compared to 121 NOKm in the third quarter of 2018. Increased sales and marketing costs, customer service costs and administrative costs are the main drivers for the increase.
EBIT adjusted amounts to 38 NOKm in the quarter, which is an increase of 3 NOKm compared to the third quarter of 2018. This corresponds to an adjusted EBIT margin of 21%. The YoY decrease of 2 percentage points is driven by the increase in OPEX.
At the end of third quarter 2019, the Business segment comprised 78 thousand electricity deliveries, which represents an increase of 1,919 deliveries from second quarter 2019, of which 213 organically. The volume sold in third quarter 2019 was 1,075 GWh, a decrease of 4% compared to third quarter 2018. The decrease is driven by a 4% decrease in average volume per delivery.
Adjusted net revenue in the Business segment amounts to 70 NOKm, a YoY growth of 9%. The growth is driven by improved margins, primarily from value added services.
Adjusted OPEX amounts to 37 NOKm in the quarter, compared to 34 NOKm in the third quarter of 2018. The main reason for the OPEX growth is increased sales and marketing costs.
EBIT adjusted amounts to 33 NOKm in the quarter, an increase of 2 NOKm from the third quarter of 2018. Adjusted EBIT margin in the quarter was 47%, a 1 percentage point decrease YoY, driven by sales and marketing costs and a decrease in average volume per delivery.
At the end of third quarter 2019, the number of mobile subscribers was 92 thousand, which represents an organic growth of 11,177 subscribers from second quarter 2019. This is the highest quarterly growth since the launch in Q2 2017 and is further strengthening the Company's position as the largest mobile supplier without its own network.
Alliance volume in third quarter 2019 was 677 GWh, which is a 5% YoY decrease as Vesterålskraft is now included in the Consumer and Business segments, following the recent acquisition.
Adjusted net revenue in the New Growth Initiatives segment amounts to 9 NOKm, a YoY growth of 35%. The growth is split about 60/40 between Mobile and Alliance.
OPEX adjusted amounted to 18 NOKm, an increase from 15 NOKm in third quarter 2018, due to increased sales and marketing costs and variable costs.
EBIT adjusted amounted to -9 NOKm, a decrease of 1 NOKm from third quarter 2018, driven by the loss of revenue following the Vesterålskraft acquisition.
* The normal is based on the average temperature in the period from 1961 to 1990.
Financials Figures from the corresponding period the previous year are in brackets, unless otherwise specified.
Gross revenue revenue amounted to 1,102 NOKm (1,329 NOKm), a decrease of 17%, due to lower elspot prices.
Adjusted net revenue amounted to 259 NOKm (227 NOKm), an increase of 14%. The increase is driven by both margin improvements and volume growth.
Adjusted operating expenses amounted to 196 NOKm (169 NOKm), an increase of 16%, driven by sales and marketing costs, customer service costs and administrative costs.
Adjusted EBIT amounted to 63 NOKm (58 NOKm), a growth of 8% YoY due to the factors described above.
Net financial income amounted to 1.4 NOKm (1.9 NOKm).
Profit for the period amounted to 34 NOKm (26 NOKm) in the third quarter due to the factors described above.
Cash generated from operating activities was 236 NOKm (99 NOKm), mainly driven by a reduction in net working capital. Net cash used in investing activities was -33 NOKm (-9 NOKm) driven by the acquisition of Vesterålskraft Strøm. Net cash used in financing activities was NOK -16 NOKm (-14 NOKm), primarily consisting of instalments related to long term debt.
The total capital as of 30.09.2019 was 2,368 NOKm (2,485 NOKm), a decrease of 117 NOKm from Q3 2018. The main driver for the decrease is lower current assets.
There are no significant events after the reporting period that has not been reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
The demand for electricity, electricity prices, customer churn and competition are the main uncertainties in a short-term perspective. The demand for electricity varies with i.a. weather conditions and temperature. Electricity prices are determined by supply and demand through Nordpool, the marketplace for electricity in the Nordics. Fjordkraft seeks to reduce market risk to a low level and does not take speculative positions in the electricity market.
The Group has an ambition to grow organically in all segments, as well as acting as a consolidator in a fragmented market. The Group's financial targets are presented in the quarterly presentation. In the third quarter presentation, the net revenue growth targets for 2019 are revised, following strong performance in the Consumer segment.

Fjordkraft Holding ASA and its subsidiaries (together 'the Group') is a supplier of electrical power in Norway. The Group's core business is concentrated at purchase, sales and portfolio management of electrical power to households, private and public companies, and municipalities. In 2017, the Group also became a provider of mobile phone services to private customers in Norway.
Fjordkraft Holding ASA is incorporated and domiciled in Norway. The address of its registered office is Folke Bernadottes Vei 38, 5147 Bergen, Norway.
These interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors for issue on 13 November 2019.
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim financial reporting". These interim financial statements do not provide the same scope of information as the annual financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.
The Group has adopted the going concern basis in preparing it's consolidated financial statements. When assessing this assumption, management has assessed all available information about the future. This comprises information about net cash flows from existing customer contracts and other service contracts, debt service and obligations. After making such assessments, management has a reasonable expectation that the Group has
adequate resources to continue its operational existence for the foreseeable future.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except that income tax expense is recognised in each interim period using the expected weighted average annual income tax rate for the full financial year. Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual profit or loss.
The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018, except for income taxes and post-employment benefits.
Income tax expense and deferred income tax liability is calculated by applying a weighted average of tax rates across jurisdictions, while in annual financial statements income tax expense and deferred income tax liability is calculated by applying the tax rate for each individual jurisdiction to measures of income for each jurisdiction.
Present value of defined benefit obligations and the fair value of plan assets at the end of each interim reporting period is estimated by extrapolation of the latest actuarial valuation, while in the annual financial statements this estimate is based on an updated actuarial valuation.
The Group provides re-invoicing to its customers related to grid rent. This means that the trade receivables, as shown in the consolidated statement of financial position, in addition to power sales also includes grid rent. This makes the amount of trade receivables relatively high in comparision with the amount of gross revenue as shown in the consolidated statement of profit and loss.
Employee share options at Fjordkraft Holding ASA represents rights for employees to buy shares in the company at a future date at a predetermined exercise price. To exercise the employee must remain an employee of the company or an affiliated company at the end of the vesting period.
The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the allotment of options is recognised as an expense over the vesting period based on the fair value of the options. On each balance date, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to be exercisable. Any adjustments will be recognised in the income statement and corresponding adjustment to equity over the remaining vesting period. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital and share premium when the options are exercised.
IFRS 15 requires capitalisation of incremental costs of obtaining a contract which the entity expects to recover, if the amortisation period is more than one year, such as for sales commissions. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract were under the previous accounting policy expensed as incurred. Amortisation of the capitalised costs of obtaining a contract is recognised as part of Operating profit.
In order to consider an acquisition as a business combination, the acquired asset or groups of assets must constitute a business (an integrated set of operations and assets conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return to the investors). The combination consists of inputs and processes applied to these inputs that have the ability to create output.
Acquired businesses are included in the financial statements from the transaction date. The transaction date is defined as the date on which the company achieves control over the financial and operating assets. This date may differ from the actual date on which the assets are transferred.
Comparative figures are not adjusted for acquired, sold or liquidated businesses. For accounting purposes, the acquisition method is used in connection with the purchase of businesses.
Acquisition cost equals the fair value of the assets used as consideration, including contingent consideration, equity instruments issued and liabilities assumed in connection with the transfer of control. Acquisition cost is measured against the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities. Identifiable intangible assets are included in connection with acquisitions if they can be separated from other assets or meet the legal contractual criteria. If the acquisition cost at the time of the acquisition exceeds the fair value of the acquired net assets (when the acquiring entity achieves control of the transferring entity), goodwill arises.
If the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired exceeds the acquisition cost on the acquisition date, the excess amount is taken to the Income statement immediately.
Goodwill is not depreciated, but is tested at least annually for impairment. In connection with this, goodwill is allocated to the cash-generating units (CGUs) or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from synergy effects of the acquisition. The allocation of goodwill may vary depending on the basis for its initial recognition.
The estimation of fair value and goodwill may be adjusted up to 12 months after the takeover date if new information has emerged about facts and circumstances that existed at the time of the takeover and which, had they been known, would have affected the calculation of the amounts that were included from that date.
Acquisition-related costs, except costs to issue debt or equity securities, are expensed as incurred.
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal financial reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board. The Board examines the Group's performance from a type of services perspective. Segment performance is evaluated based on profit or loss and is measured consistently with profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements.
The Group's reportable segments under IFRS
8 - "Operating Segments" are therefore as follows: -Consumer segment - Sale of electrical power
and related services to private consumers -Business segment - Sale of electrical power and related services to business consumers
Information reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance is focused on the category of customer for each type of activity. No operating segments have been aggregated in arriving at the reportable segments of the Group. The principal categories of customers are direct sales to private consumers, business consumers and alliance partners.
The segment profit measure is adjusted operating profit which is defined as profit before tax earned by each segment without the allocation of non-recurring expenses, depreciation of acquisitions, other gains and losses, interest income, interest expense, and other financial items, net. This is the measure reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group's accounting policies.
All of the Group's revenue is from external parties and is from activities currently carried out in Norway. There are no customers representing more than 10% of revenue.
The tables below is an analysis of the Group's revenue and results by reportable segment. New growth initiatives comprise of other business activities (sale of mobile service to private customers and power sale, included related services, to Alliance partners – referred to as New Growth Initiatives) which are not considered separate operating segments.

1) Corporate consists of estimate deviations previous year and special revenue items. A large proportion of the Group's final settlement of sales and distribution of electricity is made after the Group has finalised its financial statements. At the date of reporting, the Group recognises electricity revenue and the associated cost of sales based on a best estimate approach. Thus, any estimate deviation related to the previous reporting period is recognised in the following reporting period. Management is of the opinion that the underlying operating profit in the reporting period should be adjusted for such estimate deviations related to previous reporting periods, thus the table below also presents the Group's operating profit before such estimate deviations in the line "Operating profit (before unallocated and estimate deviations)".

This note explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognised and measured at fair value in the financial statements. Changes in fair value are recognised through other gains and losses, net in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.

There were no transfers between level 1 and 2 for recurring fair value measurements during the period. The Group's policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.
Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities.
Specific valuation techniques used to value derivative financial instruments include present value of future cash flows, based on forward prices from Nasdaq OMX Commodities at the balance sheet date. In the case of material long-term contracts, the cash flows are discounted at a discount rate of 1,3 per cent (2018: 0,9 per cent). Valuation method is used for forward contracts and option contracts associated with purchase and sale of electricity. Key inputs to the valuation are discount rates, contract- and market prices.
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other non-current financial assets and trade and other payables approximate their carrying value..
The Group also has financial instruments which are not measured at fair value in the balance sheet. For the majority of these instruments, the fair values are not materially different to their carrying amounts, since the interest receivable/payable is either close to current market rates or the instruments are short-term in nature. There has not been identified any significant difference between fair value and carrying amout at 30 September 2019.
Per 30 September 2019, the Group's related parties include Board of Directors and key management. There has been no significant transactions conducted with related parties in third quarter 2019.
In 2019 two major shareholders, BKK AS and Skagerak Energi AS, have sold shares in Fjordkraft Holding ASA.

Payables to Statkraft Energi AS (SEAS) mainly relates to purchase of electricity. The Group purchases electricity at Nord Pool through Statkraft Energi AS. The daily transactions and payments with Nord Pool is completed by SEAS, while Fjordkraft AS settles their liabilities towards Statkraft Energi AS monthly. Payables are normally settled in 30 days, but Fjordkraft has the right to postpone the payments by 30 days if their current cash in hand does not cover the liability.

Payables to related parties are unsecured and are excpected to be settled in cash.
As SEAS handles the guarantees on Nord Pool, the Group has no direct exposure on Nord Pool

Report Q3 2019 40 investor.fjordkraft.no


The alternative performance measures (abbreviated APM's) that hereby are provided by the Group are a supplement to the financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. The APM's are based on the guidelines for APM published by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on or after 3rd of July 2016. As indicated in the guidelines an APM is a financial measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows, other than a financial measure defined or specified in the applicable financial reporting framework. The performance measures are commonly used by analysts and investors.
The Group uses the following APM's (in bold). The words written in italics are included in the list of definitions or in the statement of profit or loss.
Cash EBIT is equivalent to Operating free cash flow before tax and change in Net working capital. This APM is used to illustrate the Group's underlying cash generation in the period.
Capex excl. M&A is used to present the capital expenditures excluding mergers and acquisitions to illustrate the Group's organic maintenance capex.
EBIT reported is equivalent to Operating profit and is used to measure performance from operational activities. EBIT reported is an indicator of the company's profitability.
In order to give a better representation of underlying performance, the following adjustments are made to the reported EBIT:
ordinary business, such as acquisition related costs and launch of new services
• Depreciation of acquisitions: Depreciation related to customer portfolios and acquisitions of companies. The Group has decided to report the operating profit of the segments adjusted for depreciation of acquisitions
EBIT reported margin is EBIT divided by Net revenue. This APM is a measure of the profitability and is an indicator of the earnings ability.
EBIT margin adjusted is calculated as EBIT adjusted divided by Net revenue adjusted. This APM is a measure of the profitability and is an indicator of the earnings ability.
EBITDA is defined as operational profit/loss before depreciation and amortisation. This APM is used to measure performance from operating activities.
In order to give a better representation of underlying performance, the following adjustments are made to EBITDA:
Gross revenue is equivalent to Revenue as stated in the statement of profit or loss.
Market churn represents the annual supplier switching rate presented by the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate. This can be an indicator of the degree of competition in the electricity market.
Net income is equivalent to Profit/(loss) for the period as stated in the statement of profit or loss.
Net income adjusted for certain cash and non-cash items is used in the dividend calculation, and is defined as the following: [(Adjusted EBIT + net finance)*(1-average tax rate) – amortisation of acquisition debt]."
Net interest-bearing debt (NIBD) shows the net cash position and how much cash would remain if all interest-bearing debt was paid. The calculation is total interest-bearing liabilities deducted cash and cash equivalents.
Net revenue is equivalent to Revenue less direct cost of sales as stated in the statement of profit or loss.
This APM presents Net revenue adjusted for:
• Estimate deviations from previous years: A large proportion of the Group's final settlement of sales and distribution of electricity is made after the Group has finalised its financial statements. At the date of reporting, the Group recognises electricity revenue and the associated cost of sales based on a best estimate approach. Thus, any estimate deviation related to the previous reporting period is recognised in the following reporting period
• Other special revenue adjustments: which represents non-recurring income which is recognised in the profit or loss for the period
Net working capital (NWC) is used to measure short-term liquidity and the ability to utilise assets in an efficient matter. NWC includes the following items from current assets: Inventories, intangible assets, trade receivables, derivative financial instruments and other current assets (that is, all current assets in the balance sheet except cash and cash equivalents); and the following items from current liabilities; trade payables, current income tax liabilities, derivative financial instruments, social security and other taxes and other current liabilities.
Non-cash NWC elements and other items is used when analysing the development in NIBD. Non-cash NWC relates to items included in "change in NWC" that are not affecting Net interest-bearing debt while other items include interest, tax, change in long-term receivables, proceeds from non-current receivables, proceeds from other long-term liabilities and adjustments made on EBITDA.
Number of deliveries is used to present the number of electrical meters supplied with electricity. One customer may have one or more electricity deliveries.
OpFCF before tax and change in NWC is Operating free cash flow and change in working capital, and is defined as EBITDA adjusted less Capex excl. M&A and payments to obtain contract assets.
Volume sold is used to present the underlying volume generating income in the period.
