SOILTECH REPORTS RECORD FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR 2024

Fourth quarter

The fourth quarter was a very strong quarter for Soiltech as revenue passed the NOK 80 million mark for the first time, with an adjusted EBITDA of over NOK 25 million. The strong performance was driven by a significant growth in the demand for our solid waste handling services. High personnel utilization further strengthened results, resulting in an adjusted EBITDA margin of 32%.

"With three new large contracts already awarded in 2025 - OMV Petrom (Transocean Barents), Equinor (Grane) and Northern Ocean (Deepsea Bollsta) – we are in an excellent position to grow our business further and continue to deliver value to our customers. As these projects start up during 2025, they are expected to add more than NOK 100 million to our top line on an annual basis. The award of these contracts demonstrates Soiltech's ability to grow our business, driven by our operating excellence and focus on technology improvement", says Soiltech CEO Jan Erik Tveteraas.

"We are pleased to see an increase in the customer demand for our technologies. In 2025, we expect to grow our Solid waste handling business further, across GEO markets, in line with our strategy of being a full-service provider of drilling waste management services", says Jan Erik Tveteraas.

Post quarter contract awards

Soiltech was awarded three key, large contracts in January 2025. For these contracts we will use equipment in stock, and cutting receiving tanks on the PSV to be delivered in Q1.

• Soiltech ASA and Soiltech Romania SRL were awarded a contract by OMV Petrom S.A. to provide cuttings containment and transfer equipment and related services to the Neptun Deep project. Neptun Deep is the largest natural gas project in the Romanian Black Sea.

The services will be performed on the drilling rig Transocean Barents. The agreement is concluded for a period of 5 years, with an initial estimated contract value of USD 10 million for an estimated duration of 18 months. Commencement is anticipated in 2025. Soiltech will deliver a wide range of technologies to the Neptun Deep project for the containment and transfer of solid waste (drill cuttings), including equipment for storage on the rig and on the platform supply vessel (PSV). Tools for cleaning the rig and PSV storage tanks forms also a part of the scope.

  • Soiltech was informed of the intention to award Soiltech an agreement with Northern Ocean for the delivery of Drilling waste management services on the harsh environment drilling rig Deepsea Bollsta. The contract is expected to commence in the second half of 2025. This is expected to be a large contract for Soiltech. Deepsea Bollsta will be working for Equinor in Norway for an estimated firm duration of two years, plus five one-year optional periods.
  • Soiltech received a call-off order under the Frame agreement with Equinor to provide drilling waste management services on the Grane field in Norway.

The expected startup is first quarter of 2025. The Frame agreement with Equinor has a duration until June 2026, option periods excluded, potentially 2034 including all option periods.

Definition of contract size

The contract size definition has been updated. Since our contracts are based on recurring revenues over a period, the contract size is defined as a contract's expected revenue generation over a 12-month period. On this basis, the expected total contract value may be calculated, taking into consideration the anticipated contract duration, which may consist of a fixed period followed by optional periods.

  • A sizable contract has an estimated value of NOK 5 – 10 million over a 12-month period
  • A substantial contract has an estimated value of NOK 10 – 20 million over a 12 month period
  • A large contract has an estimated value above NOK 20 million over a 12-month period

Note 4 – Income tax Accounting policies

The Group consists of companies subject to ordinary corporate taxation in Norway, and within the same tax group with respect to offsetting of deferred tax. Income tax is therefore recognized on the basis of a general application of IAS 12 without the need for further judgments or policies of significance.

Basis for recognition of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is probable that the company will have a sufficient profit for tax purposes in subsequent periods to utilize the tax asset. The Group recognize previously unrecognized deferred tax assets to the extent it has become probable that the Group can utilize the deferred tax asset. Similarly, the Group will reduce a deferred tax asset to the extent that the Group no longer regards it as probable that it can utilize the deferred tax asset. Deferred tax and deferred tax assets are measured on the basis of the expected future tax rates applicable to the companies in the Group where temporary differences have arisen based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax and deferred tax assets are recognized at their nominal value and classified as non-current asset (non-current liabilities) in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Basis for tax expense in interim periods

The tax expense in interim periods is measured by multiplying profit before tax by estimated average annual effective income tax rate.

A difference between the estimated tax cost for 2023 and tax returns of TNOK 216 is recognized as part of the 2024 tax expense.

Note 5 – Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise mostly ordinary bank deposits. The statement of cash flows is prepared using the indirect method. Interest income and expenses are presented as investing and financing activities, respectively.

Note 8 – Financial risk and capital management

The Group's policies for management of capital and financial risk aim to support the current strategy and target of maintaining a high rate of growth and developing prospective business opportunities. The Group's capital structure shall be robust enough to maintain the desired freedom of action and utilize growth opportunities, based on strict assessments relating to the allocation of capital. The Group debt financing consist of bank and leasing financing. The loan covenants to which the Group is subject play a key role in how capital is managed and allocated, to maintain a low financing risk and financial flexibility. See note 6 borrowings for further details on the Group's financing.

Market risk

The Group's exposure to financial market risk is mainly related to interest rates on external financing and various forms of currency risks. The Group has a diversified client list and evaluates changes in pricing structure contract by contract, as part of its mitigation process to cover for increased interest cost. The Group has not entered into any interest swap agreements.

Currency risk

The Group has Norwegian kroner (NOK) as its base currency. However, through its operations outside Norway, the Group is exposed to fluctuations in certain exchange rates, mainly Euro (EUR), British Pound (GBP) and American dollar (USD). The Group also has currency risks linked to both balance sheet monetary items and investments in foreign countries.

Interest rate risk

The Company loan and leasing agreements have floating interest rates based on NIBOR according to the financial strategy, see Note 6 borrowings, and is thereby influenced by changes in the interest market. A change of increase of 1 percentage point in 3M NIBOR means a change in yearly net interest expenses of approximately MNOK 1.8.

Credit risk

Assets that may give rise to credit risk comprise mainly trade receivables and bank deposits. For the latter, the counterparties are mainly banks established in the Nordic countries, which indicates that the credit risk should be regarded as negligible. Trade receivables are characterized by a concentration in the customer base, in terms of country and industry. The customers,

REPORT FOURTH-QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR 2024

however, are primarily large companies with high credit ratings, and the agreed payment terms in the contracts typically ensure that any overdue amounts are kept at low level. Thus, credit losses have historically been insignificant.

Liquidity risk

As at year-end, the Group's portfolio of loans and loan facilities is well diversified both with regards to maturity profile and lenders. In June 2024 the Company entered a 7-year loan facility of MNOK 30 with Sandnes Sparebank. Together with existing loan facility of MNOK 148 with Sandnes Sparebank, the facilities total MNOK 178.

The unused portion of the credit facilities was MNOK 39.6 as at 31.12.2024.

Note 11 – Merger with Oceanteam ASA

Soiltech ASA completed a merger with Oceanteam ASA on September 11, 2024. The merger plan was signed 30 Mai 2024 and approved by the general meetings of the respective companies on 4 July 2024. The main purpose of the merger was to achieve a listing of Soiltech ASA on the Euronext Expand marketplace.

As part of the merger, Soiltech ASA issued 527 947 new shares as consideration to the shareholders of Oceanteam ASA. This consideration was based on Oceanteam ASA having a market value of NOK 31.67 million at the date of entering into the merger agreement.

At the time of the merger, Oceanteam ASA was essentially an empty shell company without any operational activities. The only significant asset in the company was a cash balance of NOK 19.1 million. Therefore, the merger has been accounted for as a share-based payment transaction in accordance with IFRS 2. The measurement of the transaction is based on the value of the shares in Oceanteam ASA at the transaction date, which was September 11, 2024. At this time, the shares were traded at NOK 0.93, corresponding to a market value for the company of NOK 30.8 million.

The difference between the cash balance in Oceanteam ASA (NOK 19.1 million) and the fair value of the company is considered to reflect the value of the stock exchange listing, including access to new capital and recognized investors. This difference, amounting to NOK 12,8 million, has been recognized as an expense in the financial statements of Soiltech ASA in the line item "Expenses related to Merger & IPO", as it does not meet the criteria to be recognized as an asset on the balance sheet.

In addition to the expenses above, Soiltech ASA has incurred various transaction costs in connection with the process of completing the merger and subsequent listing on Euronext Expand, amounting to NOK 10.1 million in total. Of these, NOK 5.3 million is considered to be incremental costs directly attributable to the equity transaction and has therefore been recognized as a deduction of equity, reducing the capital increase from the merger. The remaining NOK 5.0 million has been recognized as an expense and is included in the line item «Expenses related to Merger & IPO» in the income statement.

Note 12 – Events after the reporting period

After the balance sheet date there are only events in the ordinary course of business and no events of an adjusting or non-adjusting nature.
