Expanding into Northern Norway

Landmark acquisition of

EQVA has entered into an agreement to acquire IMTAS Group for an Enterprise Value of NOK 190 million, excluding leasing liabilities and a conditional earn-out of up to NOK 30 million.

This reflects an implied EV/EBITDA multiple of 4.8x, based on 2024 estimates.

Sellers will reinvest NOK 68.8 million at NOK 11.25 per share, with a lock-up period. 50% being released after 9 and 18 months, respectively.

IMTAS has never lost a frame agreement, and benefits from its loyal customer base, including Elkem, Rana Gruber and MOWI.

Combined group with highly attractive profile

Based on estimated 2024 figures, the acquisition is expected to contribute approximately NOK 376 million in revenues and NOK 39 million in EBITDA.

This brings the total pro forma revenue and EBITDA for the new combined EQVA Group in 2024 to NOK 1,576 million and NOK 120 million, respectively.

Accretive acquisition

The acquisition of IMTAS is expected to be accretive for our shareholders, with both shortand long-term growth potential.

Identified synergies going forward with the potential to make the acquisition more accretive after the combination.

terms New financial agreement in place

The acquisition of IMTAS will be financed through a new term loan from Nordea Bank, reinvestment from the sellers, and a seller's credit.

The new bank facility with Nordea will also refinance most of EQVA's existing interestbearing debt and expand the overdraft facility, offering more favourable interest rates for EQVA. The transaction is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2025 (and is subject to approval from the Norwegian Competition Authority – "Konkurransetilsynet", and certain other customary conditions)
