Bouvet had operating revenues of NOK 242.3 million in the third quarter, compared with NOK 249.1 million in the same period of 2013. That represented a decrease of 2.7 per cent. Fee income generated by the group's own employees increased by NOK 1 million or 0.4 per cent from the third quarter of last year. Income generated by sub-contractors fell by NOK 8.2 million or 26.4 per cent over the same period. Operating revenues were negatively affected by a drop of 5.3 percentage points in the billing ratio for the group's consultants compared with the third quarter of 2013. At the same time, they were positively affected by an increase of 4.5 per cent in the average number of employees and a 2.6 per cent rise in rates for the group's hourly based services.
Operating revenues for the first nine months came to NOK 819.4 million, compared with NOK 814.5 million in the same period of 2013. That represented an increase of 0.6 per cent.
Operating revenues from Statoil, the group's biggest client, declined by 41.2 per cent from the third quarter of 2013. Despite that, overall sales to existing clients made good progress during the quarter. Clients who also used the group in the third quarter of 2013 accounted for 88.8 per cent of operating revenues. In addition, clients acquired since 30 September 2013 contributed a total of NOK 27.2 million to third-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 9.4 per cent, compared with 12.5 per cent in the third quarter of 2013. The group's long-term target is that this share should be about 15 per cent of total operating revenues.
Bouvet's operating costs, including depreciation and amortisation, were NOK 233.1 million for the third quarter, up from NOK 232 million in the same period of 2013. That represents an increase of 0.5 per cent. Payroll costs increased because the average number of employees rose, in addition to the general growth in pay rates. The group experienced a general rise in pay of 3.4 per cent over the past 12 months. The cost of sales declined from NOK 33.2 million in the third quarter of 2013 to NOK 26.8 million, and primarily comprised procurement of sub-contractor services and the hire of course instructors. Other operating costs rose by 4.2 per cent from the third quarter of 2013 to NOK 30.4 million. This increase of NOK 1.2 million reflected a growth of NOK 2.8 million in costs associated with social benefits and recruitment. The cost of premises and infrastructure declined by NOK 0.8 million, while travel expenses fell by NOK 0.6 million. Further changes from the third quarter of 2013 are otherwise small.
Operating profit (EBIT) for the third quarter came to NOK 9.2 million, compared with NOK 17.1 million in the same period of 2013. The EBIT margin thereby fell from 6.9 per cent in the third quarter of last year to 3.8 per cent. Net profit came to NOK 6.6 million, compared with NOK 12.4 million in the same period of 2013. Diluted earnings per share were NOK 0.61 for the quarter, compared with NOK 1.21 in the same period of 2013.
For the first nine months, the cumulative EBIT came to NOK 59.8 million as against NOK 67.9 million in the same period of 2013. That represented a fall of 11.8 per cent. The EBIT margin thereby declined to 7.3 per cent, compared with 8.3 per cent in the first nine months of last year. Net profit came to NOK 43.3 million, down from NOK 49.8 million in the same period of 2013. Diluted earnings per share were NOK 4.10 for the first nine months, compared with NOK 4.76 in the same period of 2013.
Consolidated cash flow from operations was negative at NOK 14 million in the third quarter, compared with a positive NOK 20.5 million in the same period of 2013. Cash flow in the quarter was negatively affected by a reduction of NOK 24.9 million in current liabilities from the second quarter of 2014.
The decline in current liabilities reflected a NOK 0.9 million fall in accounts payable, a reduction of NOK 6.1 million in direct and indirect taxes payable, and a drop of NOK 17.9 million in other current liabilities. Working capital related to clients, work in progress and other current liabilities was virtually unchanged from the second quarter.
Consolidated cash flow from operations for the first nine months was negative at NOK 9.3 million, compared with a positive NOK 6.5 million in the same period of 2013. Consolidated cash flow from operations for the past 12 months was NOK 83.5 million, while net profit for the same period was NOK 63.3 million.
The group's client portfolio consists mainly of large, solid listed companies and public enterprises. No bad debts were suffered in the third quarter, and the group has good oversight and control of its receivables.
Bouvet has no interest-bearing debt. Bank deposits at
Bouvet offers the full range of expertise required to develop its clients in a digital direction. Deep technological knowledge is combined with the ability to create effective digital communication and a good commercial understanding in the various economic sectors.
The oil and gas industry is still affected by cost-cutting, particularly at Statoil – Bouvet's biggest client. However, sales have grown to other oil/gas companies. Compared with the same quarter of last year, Bouvet has seen a rise in sales to customers in electricity supply, health, manufacturing, services, transport and retailing as well as media, communication and telecommunications. Thirty-two per cent of Bouvet's sales in the third quarter were to clients who are wholly state-owned. That represented an increase of two percentage points from the same period of last year.
30 September totalled NOK 79.1 million, compared with NOK 73.2 million a year earlier. It held 19 356 of its own shares at 30 September. Equity at 30 September totalled NOK 145.4 million, representing an equity ratio of 38 per cent. The corresponding figures for 30 September 2013 were an equity of NOK 132.9 million and an equity ratio of 36.4 per cent. Bouvet's long-term target is to maintain an equity ratio in excess of 30 per cent.
The group does not report internally by business areas or segments in an accounting sense. Its business is homogenous and pursued within the Nordic market for IT consultancy services. Risk and return are followed up at departmental level within homogenous consultancy departments with shared markets, on a project basis and per consultant. This does not provide a basis for segment reporting, which is accordingly not presented. Should changes be made to the group's business, the possibility that these changes might provide a basis for segment reporting will be assessed.
Bouvet strengthened its position in several service areas during the quarter. That applied particularly to consultancy services related to digitisation. Through a new contract with Eni Norge, the company secured yet another client for process modelling and management systems. These are services closely related to the core business of clients, and Bouvet now has solid specialist teams within this area in several of its regions.
Bouvet has also built up strong teams in security and vulnerability analyses. Market demand for these services is growing. Safety analysis for socially critical solutions such BankId and Altinn show that Bouvet enjoys client confidence in this area.
The market has also appreciated Bouvet's expertise with advertising services. Several strong brands are now using the company to develop its communication in various channels.
ARENDAL SANDEFJORD SKIEN Bouvet is winning many new contracts from existing clients in the eastern region. The number of enquiries from new clients has declined a little.
During the quarter, the company
secured extended assignments from Color Line, the armed forces, DNV GL, Elkjøp, the Norwegian National Rail Administration, Sporveien and the Norwegian Customs and Excise.
TRONDHEIM MALMÖ Statnett has launched major projects related to IT and digitisation. A frame agreement covering four areas was secured from this client during the quarter. Three of these areas - architecture, application management and infrastructure – have not been covered by earlier frame agreements with Statnett. Bouvet also secured a contract on a new management system for the submarine cable to the Netherlands.
Growth is continuing in the health sector, and new assignments were secured during the quarter from Sykhuspartner in the fields of architecture, application packaging and infrastructure.
Bouvet won a number of new contracts for customer experience and digital communication. It was selected by ViaSat as its new advertising agency, and will support brand building and positioning in all channels. Both the Biathlon World Championships in Oslo in 2016 and Oslo Taxi have chosen the company as its digital communication agency. Gjensidige has awarded a frame agreement to Bouvet in the content marketing field. Among other assignments, the company will write the text for Gjensidige's newsletters to customers. It has also won the job of designing and developing a new website for the Norwegian Association of Local and Regional Authorities (KS).
The new commitment to CRM solutions is bearing fruit. Bouvet is now implementing SAP Cloud for Customer at a number of clients, and ranks as the first company in Norway to deliver this product. The Norwegian Institute for Energy Technology has entered into a new three-year agreement with Bouvet on total management of SAP.
BERGEN In the Rogaland region, Bouvet operates in a market affected by the downturn in the oil and gas sector. Statoil is cutting costs and again reduced its callout of services from Bouvet in this quarter. However,
activity is good and many opportunities exist among the new players on the Norwegian continental shelf.
OSLO SANDVIKA SANDEFJORD SKIEN Three important contracts were entered into during the quarter with oil company Eni Norge. One covers the
development and administration of its management system, and includes facilitating process improvement and modelling, development of the technical solution and training. The two others relate to a collaboration solution for well operations and safety, and a solution for life cycle information.
Information security has become an important field for Bouvet in Rogaland. A risk and vulnerability analysis is to be conducted for Altibox, for example.
In addition, mention can be made of services related to collaboration solutions and a mobile SAP solution ordered by Talisman and Aibel respectively.
Cost cuts in the oil and gas sector also create new opportunities. Bouvet now offers shared solutions for a number of services, an approach attracting client interest as part of their cost reductions and efficiency improvements.
New service concepts are constantly being developed by Bouvet in Rogaland. One is field data management, a business intelligence solution for production information in the oil industry. HAUGESUND
The Olavstoppen subsidiary won a number of new assignments during the period, including work related to the Norwegian Mapping Authority's seHavnivå website, redesign of a web solution for Interwell, a new internet solution for TCO, and further development of web solutions for Edison and the Petroleum Safety Authority Norway. FORUS
In cooperation with Bouvet in Rogaland, Olavstoppen has secured a contract to develop an intranet for Sandnes local authority. The level of activity in the company is high, and it is delivering good results. OSLO SANDEFJORD SKIEN
ÖREBRO STOCKHOLM MALMÖ Bouvet's level of activity in Trondheim remains good, but competition in the local market is strong. The biggest clients include the Norwegian Coastal Administration/Barentswatch, Statoil, the Norwegian University of Science
and Technology (NTNU), the Mid-Norway Regional Health Authority, Det Norske Oljeselskap and the City of Trondheim.
Det Norske Oljeselskap again increased its callout of services from Bouvet during the quarter. Other clients commissioning new assignments included Statoil, NxtMedia, Adresseavisen, the Norwegian Centre for ICT in Education and Enova.
Since 30 September, Bouvet has entered into an agreement to acquire Capgemini's regional office in Trondheim. This increases staffing for the northern region from 60 to 95 people.
Bouvet's level of activity in the Bergen region is good, and a number of the big tender in the region were won during the quarter. The majority of these assignments are in system development. Services related to user
experience form a key component of many of the contracts.
ARENDAL SANDEFJORD KRISTIANSAND SKIEN Security is another area of great interest to the market. Bouvet won a security-related frame agreement from the City of Bergen during the quarter, and calloffs have already been made under it. The volume of work in and expertise with process mapping and improvement are also making good progress.
ÖREBRO Clients awarding assignments to the company during the quarter include Statoil, Fotoknudsen, TV2, the City of Bergen, the Norwegian Civil Aviation Authority, Aibel and the City of Oslo.
MALMÖ The seven hospital trusts in the Western Norway Regional Health Authority launched new mobile-friendly websites during the period. Bouvet has been responsible for the communication concept, design and technical development.
BankId launched a new Java-free solution in the quarter, which is now being gradually adopted by the various players. Security testing of the application has been conducted by Bouvet.
Bouvet's southern region has a number of clients in the industry, oil/gas and public sectors. The biggest clients are Agder Energi, MHWirth (previously Aker Solutions), Statoil, Flowtite Technology, Telenor, Yara and Skagerak Energi.
ÖREBRO Security is again an area where demand is growing in the southern region. Bouvet's security experts carry out penetration tests as well as risk and vulnerability analyses for clients. Altinn is one of the solutions now being security-tested by Bouvet.
MALMÖ Demand for process modelling and consultant expertise is rising as a result of digitisation processes in the public sector. KRISTIANSAND
Bouvet is well positioned in the Swedish market, with the right expertise, good service concepts and a brand which has become better known over time. With today's organisation, however, further growth is needed to
achieve profitability and critical mass. Prices in Sweden are still under strong pressure.
The Swedish Legal, Financial and Administrative Services Agency enters into frame agreements which can be utilised by all public enterprises. Sweden is divided into five regions, and separate agreements are established for each of these. During the quarter, Bouvet signed frame agreements in four technical areas for the western region. Although the agency has entered into agreements with six suppliers in each technical area, the contract is so far-reaching that service calloffs are expected to be substantial. Bouvet is also the nominated candidate for the frame agreements in the northern and south-eastern regions. No nomination has yet been made for the last two regions. These contracts are likely to contribute to growth for the company in Sweden.
Bouvet has established itself as an important supplier of web solutions to Swedish local authorities. Hässelholm local authority entered into an agreement with the company during the quarter on developing a new residents portal. Other important customers who ordered services during the quarter were the Swedish Transport Agency, ICA, Ikano, the Skåne region and SAS. Bouvet's Swedish operation can draw on the expertise built up by the company in Norway's oil and gas sector, and has thereby won a job from Svenska Petroleum Exploration.
Sesam is a platform developed by Bouvet for cross-system information integration. Adopted by a number of clients, this solution makes it possible to acquire data easily from different systems, integrate them and distribute them to other systems. Sesam also supports cross-system data analysis and searching. It is sold as a subscription service, and has been established as a separate business unit in Bouvet.
Hafslund has used Sesam for a number of years, and has now chosen the platform for data handling in connection with the installation of automated metering systems (AMS). Bouvet is thereby well positioned in relation to the other energy utilities due to roll out AMS.
Bouvet has delivered a conceptual outline to the National Archive of Norway which shows how Sesam can help public enterprises to submit material suitable for preservation to the national and municipal archives. The National Archive wants to commit to this concept, which will also be of interest to the comparable institutions in Sweden and Denmark.
Since 30 September, a big contract has been entered into on the use of Sesam in the Directorate for Cultural Heritage's cultural heritage portal.
Bouvet's ambition is to be the consultancy with the most satisfied workforce. That helps to ensure delivery quality, satisfied clients and lower employee turnover.
The company works continuously to create job satisfaction among its workforce by making provision for professional development, social interaction and a positive culture where
The group is exposed at any 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
team spirit occupies a central place. One contribution to this is the annual celebration of Bouvet's independence day, which took place this year in Trondheim.
The company had 962 employees at 30 September, up by 17 from 30 June and 46 from the same date of 2013.
corporate governance in the annual report for 2013 (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.
Digital solutions have created big social changes. These will continue in the years to come as innovative technology and new applications become available. Bouvet contributes to this development by making everyday life simpler for people and by securing a bigger return on digitisation for enterprises.
In the short term, the need to adapt to changes in economic sectors and local markets means that Bouvet will experience some pressure on margins. However, the company has displayed great adaptability earlier. Conditions are accordingly favourable for Bouvet's profitable growth to continue in the longer term.
