We are a Scandinavian consultancy in the field of IT and digital communication. We support both private- and public-sector players in digitalising their operations, and help them to meet the challenges and exploit the opportunities presented by digital technology.
We are committed to maintaining long-term client relationships, and are a strategic partner for a number of enterprises where we work together on innovation, development and imple¬mentation of solutions. Clients value our good understanding of their activities, and the fact that our broad range of services means we can be a turnkey supplier.
Our client base includes a number of important social players, and we contribute together with them to the development of society. That is in line with our vision.
A close relationship can be maintained with clients because we pursue our assignments with a high level of integrity.
In addition to our standards for delivering good solutions, we set strict requirements for ethics, avoiding conflicts of interest, security, openness and trustworthiness.
Digital reality is always changing. To be able to handle this and to seize the opportunities which arise, we devote particular attention to the job satisfaction and expertise of our employees, continuous service development and our credibility as a long-term partner.
With a regional model where each office and organisational unit has considerable freedom, we have reduced bureaucracy and shortened decision paths. That gives us an adaptability which is essential for the ability to create good, flexible and durable solutions.

CEO'S COMMENTS
We found during the first quarter that our clients in the public and private sectors increasingly regard the correct application of technology as not only an advantage but also essential for creating sustainable growth and development for their own business and for society. Success in this work calls for cross-disciplinary expertise and increased knowledge-sharing. We in Bouvet are so fortunate to have again been able to work with many of the leading enterprises in the Norwegian and Swedish public and private sectors on their development during this quarter. We are involved here in applying technology to renew, improve and simplify business models and work processes and in enhancing collaboration both within enterprises and with other players. We were able to participate in exciting and important assignments for society.
Our attention in Bouvet during this quarter was again concentrated on building expertise and corporate culture and, combined with good demand for our services and expertise, we added a number of new colleagues to our team. A positive and exciting environment at work as well as good and long-term client relations meant that our interim financial results were once again good.
Big differences exist between sectors and enterprises in terms of technological maturity, and the pace of digitalisation thereby varies. A number of our clients have come a long way, and have integrated both sustainability and digitalisation in their business models. But expertise is still required about the opportunities technology can provide for developing new products and services or for improving those which already exist.
During the quarter, we shared our expertise with many enterprise and were able to participate in their "digitalisation journey". We were able to help incorporate digitalisation in business models at enterprises, and assisted in fairly radical restructuring work where our consultants shared their knowledge with a number of managers. We also continued the exciting work under way at clients who have come a long way in their digitalisation work.
A number of clients showed interest during the quarter in our Sesam integration platform. The biggest sale of the quarter was achieved by Sesam together with our Swedish arm, when the Swedish Medical Products Agency placed a four-year contract with us.
Building expertise with digitalisation is important for all enterprises. Our course business did very well during the quarter. Demand for both standard and internal company courses was good.
All our regions experienced good demand in the quarter and have fortunately been able to recruit able new colleagues. We added 50 new employees in all during the period. The good work being done by the organisation in relation to expertise building and corporate culture means that able people come to us.
We believe our clients will continue their commitment to digitalisation and sustainable development, and that our services and expertise will remain in demand for the future. With satisfied employees and satisfied clients, we believe in healthy and profitable progress for our company.

"Application of technology as not only an advantage but also essential for creating sustainable growth and development for one's own business and for society.""
Bouvet had operating revenues of NOK 518.4 million for the second quarter, compared with NOK 453.7 million in the same period of 2018. That represented a rise of 14.3 per cent. Fee income generated by the group's own consultants increased by 13.7 per cent from NOK 377.9 million in the second quarter of 2018 to NOK 429.5 million. Income generated by sub-contractors grew by 16 per cent from the same period of last year to NOK 69.5 million. Other revenues rose by 22.1 per cent from the second quarter of 2018 to NOK 19.3 million.
The second quarter had two working days less than the same period of 2018. That had a negative effect of NOK 12.3 million on fee income generated by the group's own employees. Furthermore, more holiday take-up and time off in lieu because Easter fell in the second quarter had a negative effect of NOK 6.3 million on fee income generated by the group's own employees. At the same time, an increase of 11.5 per cent in the average number of employees had a positive effect of NOK 44.3 million on fee income generated by the group's own workforce. A 4.2 per cent rise in rates for the group's hourly based services compared with the second quarter of 2018 raised fee income by NOK 18.2 million. An 0.7 percentage-point increase in the billing ratio for the group's consultants from the second quarter of 2018 also had a positive effect of NOK 4.1 million on fee income generated by the group's own employees. In addition, reduced sickness absence and leave of absence in the second quarter compared with the same period of 2018 had a positive effect of NOK 3.6 million in all. The total positive effect on fee income generated by the group's own employees was NOK 51.6 million.
Sales to existing clients made good progress during the quarter. Clients who also used the group in the second quarter of 2018 accounted for 94.1 per cent of operating revenues. In addition, clients acquired since 30 June 2018 contributed a total of NOK 30.6 million to second-quarter operating revenues.
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 13.4 per cent in the second quarter, compared with 13.2 per cent in the same period of 2018.
Operating revenues for the first half were NOK 1 082.7 million, compared with NOK 915.9 million in the same period of 2018. That represented a rise of 18.2 per cent. Fee income generated by the group's own consultants increased by 17.4 per cent from the first half of 2018 to NOK 899.1 million. The increase in fee income generated by the group's own employees largely reflected an 11.7 per cent rise in the average workforce, a 0.5 percentage-point increase in the billing ratio for the group's consultants, and a rise of 3.7 per cent in rates for the group's hourly based services compared with the first half of 2018.
Income generated by sub-contractors grew by 21 per cent from the first half of last year to NOK 142.8 million. Other revenues rose by 27.2 per cent from the first half of 2018 to NOK 40.8 million.
Bouvet's operating costs, including depreciation and amortisation, totalled NOK 459.1 million for the second quarter, up from NOK 397.9 million in the same period of 2018. That represented an increase of 15.4 per cent. Increased payroll costs reflected a higher average number of employees in addition to the general growth in pay rates. The group experienced a general rise in pay of 2.4 per cent over the past 12 months. The cost of sales was NOK 74 million, compared with NOK 62.9 million for the second quarter of 2018, and primarily comprised procurement of sub-contractor services and software as well as the hire of course instructors. Viewed in isolation, implementation of IFRS 16 Leases from 1 January 2019 (see note 1) reduced other operating expenses by NOK 9.5 million compared with the second quarter of 2018. Thanks to an overall NOK 7.3 million rise in the cost of recruitment, social security expenses, premises and marketing, other operating expenses showed a net reduction of NOK 2.2 million from the second quarter of 2018 and amounted to NOK 43.6 million. Depreciation and amortisation came to NOK 14.7 million, compared with NOK 6.3 million in the second quarter of 2018. Implementing IFRS 16 increased depreciation by NOK 8.7 million from the same period of last year.
Where the first half was concerned, operating costs increased by 17.9 per cent from the same period of 2018 to total NOK 954.6 million. The cost of sales rose by 19.8 per cent in the first half to NOK 152.1 million. Payroll costs were up by 18.7 per cent to NOK 691.6 million. Viewed in isolation, implementation of
IFRS 16 Leases from 1 January 2019 (see note 1) reduced other operating expenses by NOK 19 million compared with the first half of 2018. Thanks to an overall rise of NOK 13.2 million in the cost of recruitment, social security expenses, premises and marketing, other operating expenses showed a net reduction of NOK 5.8 million from the first half of 2018 and amounted to NOK 81.7 million. Depreciation and amortisation came to NOK 29.2 million, compared with NOK 11.8 million in the first half of last year. Implementing IFRS 16 increased depreciation by NOK 17.5 million from the same period of 2018.
Operating profit (EBIT) for the second quarter came to NOK 59.3 million, compared with NOK 55.7 million in the same period of 2018. The EBIT margin thereby came to 11.4 per cent, compared with 12.3 per cent in the second quarter of last year. Net profit came to NOK 46.4 million, up from NOK 42.9 million in the same period of 2018. Diluted earnings per share were NOK 4.49, compared with NOK 4.19 in the second quarter of last year.
Cumulative operating profit for the first half came to NOK 128.1 million, compared with NOK 106.3 million in the same period of 2018. That represented a 20.5 per cent increase. The EBIT margin thereby came to 11.8 per cent, compared with 11.6 per cent in the first half of last year. Net profit for the first half came to NOK 99.8 million, up from NOK 81.5 million in the same period of 2018. Diluted earnings per share were NOK 9.65, compared with NOK 7.94 in the second quarter of last year.

Consolidated cash flow from operations was NOK 32.2 million for the second quarter, compared with NOK 31.8 million in the same period of 2018. Cash flow for the quarter was affected negatively by an increase of NOK 4.8 million from the first quarter of 2019 in working capital related to accounts receivable, work in hand and suppliers. A reduction of NOK 26.9 million in other current liabilities from the first quarter of 2019 also had a negative effect. Where the first half is concerned, consolidated cash flow from operations came to 36.5 million, compared with NOK 17.2 million for the same period of 2018. Consolidated cash flow from operations over the past 12 months was NOK 238.3 million, and net profit for the same period came to NOK 168.8 million.
Capital spending in the quarter totalled NOK 6.7 million, including NOK 4.6 million for the acquisition of new operating assets and NOK 2.1 million for investment in intangible assets. The comparable figure for the second quarter of 2018 was NOK 16 million, including NOK 13.3 million for fixed operating assets and NOK 2.7 million for intangible assets. Operating assets totalling NOK 0.2 million were sold by the group during the quarter, so that net investment for the period came to NOK 6.5 million, compared with NOK 16 million in the corresponding six months of 2018.
Where the first half is concerned, capital spending totalled NOK 12.7 million. This took the form of NOK 7.8 million invested in operating assets and NOK 4.9 million for intangible assets. Operating assets totalling NOK 0.2 million were sold by the group during the first half, so that net investment for the period came to NOK 12.5 million, compared with NOK 37.1 million for the corresponding six months of 2018.
The group's client portfolio consists mainly of large, solid listed companies and public enterprises. No significant bad debts were suffered over the year, 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 138.8 million, compared with NOK 87.7 million a year earlier. Of bank deposits at 30 June, the account for employee tax deductions totalled NOK 55.3 million. Disposable bank deposits thereby totalled NOK 83.5 million, compared with NOK 44.1 million a year earlier. The group had an undrawn overdraft facility of NOK 100 million at 30 June. Bouvet held 37 704 of its own shares at 30 June. A dividend of NOK 133.3 million was paid by Bouvet during the second quarter. Equity at 30 June totalled NOK 236.8 million, representing an equity ratio of 23.4 per cent. The corresponding figures for 30 June 2018 were an equity of NOK 195.5 million and an equity ratio of 31.9 per cent. Implementation of IFRS 16 had a negative effect of 7.3 percentage points on the equity ratio at 30 June 2019.
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 segment.
Bouvet had a good market in the second quarter. Helping clients to realise their business objectives resulted in very positive progress and good results. The company's long-term client relationships and its broad range of services maintained trust and provided continuity. More clients are choosing Bouvet as their digitalisation partner. In that role, the company tailors deliveries to the client's circumstances. At Avinor, it has a multidisciplinary team helping to develop an information centre for arriving passengers. Avinor's goal is to make Oslo Airport Gardermoen Europe's best airport, and this project forms part of that work. Equinor has expanded its assignment related to gas production, and Bouvet is continuing to contribute to the development of digital twins, trading solutions based on blockchain technology, and solutions utilising augmented and virtual reality. Agder Energi renewed its assignment during the quarter, while the Petroleum Safety Authority Norway have chosen Bouvet as their digitalisation partner.
The digital transformation of enterprises has created an increased demand for consultants with both technological and domain expertise. To meet these requirements in the oil and gas sector, Bouvet is building domain expertise in well technology, seismic mapping and geology. The shift towards more business-driven technology development has generated greater demand for consultancy and project management. Bouvet won a new frame agreement for project management and consultancy from Trøndelag county council during the quarter. Orkla IT has chosen the company as a preferred partner for project management. Where digital security is concerned, Bouvet will be contributing project management for the Norwegian Courts Administration. Digital security is a consultancy service where demand is growing.
Business understanding, knowledge about end users and in-depth expertise on developing user-friendly solutions are essential for achieving desired commercial goals. Optimal communication and interaction with the user are a success factor for business-critical solutions. Demand for service design and design-related services has therefore been high. The Western Norway Regional Health Authority, for example, wants support from Bouvet in designing better patient
experiences in order to promote faster diagnosis and treatment. The company has been chosen to develop a new website for Vestland county council following the merger of Hordaland and Sogn og Fjordane counties. Olavstoppen, a wholly owned Bouvet subsidiary with leading-edge expertise in the development of digital services, has secured a number of high-profile assignments both nationally and internationally.
A focus on education has led to growth in participation in Bouvet's courses as well as increased demand for internal company programmes. Service design is one of Bouvet's areas of expertise, where it won a contract during the quarter to deliver courses and consultancy to the City of Trondheim.
Bouvet's clients appreciate the value of historical information combined with predictive data for improved decision support. Demand for data analysis and machine learning is therefore growing. Bouvet is to establish a data platform for ConocoPhillips and a data lake for the City of Stavanger which will allow to latter to offer good service and information to its residents. Skyss has engaged the company's data analysis capabilities in order to enhance its public transport services. Combined with improved information services for passengers, the same applies to Kolumbus, where Bouvet is contributing services related to data warehouses and data science.
Gassco awarded a frame agreement to Bouvet on technical information and handling of 3D. That also applies to Worley Parsons Rosenberg Verft, where Bouvet is to supply 3D global services. These projects involve increasing the value of available technical information.
Sesam, Bouvet's digitalisation platform, is being further developed and is experiencing growth in the number of both national and international partners. During the quarter, the Swedish Medical Products Agency chose Sesam as its integration platform. This project will be implemented in collaboration with Bouvet's Swedish arm.
Demand for system development remains high. Other services with rising demand include industrial solutions, management systems, technical information and robotisation.
The attention devoted to culture, community and expertise development yielded good organic growth during the quarter. Bouvet's workforce increased by 50 people from the previous three months, and the group had 1 455 employees at 30 June – up by 151 from the same date in 2018. The average age of personnel joining the company during the quarter was 35, with 30 of the newcomers younger than 30.
A continued shortage of relevant expertise and great competition over attracting the right candidates make the recruitment market challenging. That applies particularly to the supply of experienced expertise in systems development, security and architecture. Familiarity with and knowledge of Bouvet is increasing, and candidates choose the company in part because of its culture and project portfolio. Its contribution to sustainable development together with clients creates interest and commitment.
Job satisfaction and professional development in the workforce are given a very high priority. Bouvet's ambition is to be the most credible consultancy with the best satisfied employees. To achieve this, constant efforts are made to continue developing a strong and open culture of sharing among employees and clients, so that the former acquire professional confidence and achieve success in their assignments in partnership with the client.
Bouvet is making long-term efforts to increase the proportion of women in its workforce. This has been implemented as part of the recruitment process.
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 under corporate
governance in the annual report for 2018 (section 10: risk management and internal control). In the board's view, no significant changes occurred over the past three months in the various risks to which the group is exposed.
More enterprises are experiencing positive effects from digitalisation. But digit maturity varies greatly between the various internal functions in an enterprise, between large and small enterprises, and between sectors. At the same time, a recognition exists that change takes longer than expected, in part because of a lack of the right expertise and because of the need to create an innovation and sharing culture and to establish new forms of collaboration between enterprises in order to achieve profitable investment.
Changed competitive conditions in the form of globalisation and stronger demands for sustainable development will help to determine choices of technology and direction. The need is therefore growing for strategic consultancy services and a

Bouvet has the breadth of services, structure for establishing cross-disciplinary teams, capacity and a regional and adaptable model needed to tackle this development. That has proved valuable for developing the group's own services and for its clients.
The need to ensure the right delivery capacity in a market characterised by a high level of demand creates a requirement for continuous recruitment of the right candidates in a tight labour market.
Bouvet is well positioned to maintain its ability to deliver to its clients.
We hereby confirm to the best of our knowledge that the interim financial statements for the first half and second quarter of 2019 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, and that the information in the financial statements provides a true and fair picture of the overall assets, liabilities, financial position and financial results of the Bouvet ASA group. We also confirm to the best of our knowledge that the interim report provides a true and fair view of important events in the accounting period and their influence on the interim financial statements, the most important risk and uncertainty factors facing the business in the next accounting period, and significant transactions with close associates.

The group made no changes to the accounting principles applied in 2018. This interim report is presented in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations determined by the European Union, and have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34. The interim financial statements have not been audited, do not include all the information required in annual financial statements and should be viewed in conjunction with the group's annual report for 2018.
The accounting policies applied are consistent with those applied in previous financial year, except for the implementation of IFRS 16 Leases.
The Group has adopted IFRS 16 Leases on 1 January 2019. The standard replaces IAS 17 Leases and sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement and presentation of leases. The new standard requires lessees to recognise assets and liabilities for most leases. Bouvet has chosen to adopt IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach, with its exemptions, where lease contracts for which the lease terms ends within 12 months as of date of initial application, and lease contracts for which the underlying asset is of low value is not included.
For the Group mainly leases related to office premises was affected by IFRS 16. Bouvet leases office premises at the 13 places where business is operated. At 1 January 2019 it was capitalised right-of-use-assets and lease liabilities of NOK 263 361 thousand. This reduced the equity ratio of 9.5 percentage points.

In accordance with the new regulations leases recognised in the balance sheet will be depreciated over the lease period and recognised together with the Group's remaining depreciations. Interest effect from the discount calculation will be recognised as financial items. Due to the new regulations the Group's EBIT will slightly increase, provided the same type and number of lease objects.
Leases the Group held 1 January 2019 is estimated to increase the EBIT with NOK 3 054 thousand for the year 2019. Annual depreciations will increase with NOK 34 949 thousand and operating expenses will decrease with NOK 38 003 thousand. Interest effect will be NOK 651 thousand. Actual EBIT effect will be influenced by changes in existing leases and new leases added.

The Group is primarily delivering its services based on time and material used and has in most cases legal rights for payment for services delivered at date. In cases where the Group has income from projects with predefined results at a fixed price or which has elements causing the income per hour to be unknown before completion of the project, the income is recorded in correlation with the degree of completion. Progress is measured as incurred hours in relation to totally estimated hours. For these projects the customer controles the asset being made or improved. The Group is therefore very little affected by the changes caused from adoption of IFRS 15.
