Positive momentum continues into H1 2025

Executive Summary

In the following sections, references are also made to the academic year where this offers a more relevant basis for assessing the Group's performance. The latest academic year comprises the second half of 2024 and the first half of 2025. Accordingly, the academic year has been included in the report as an alternative performance measure.

Lumi Gruppen's positive financial trajectory continued into the first half of 2025, building on the momentum from the second half of 2024. Revenue rose by 11.0 per cent in the first half and by 12.2 per cent for the 2024/2025 academic year, reaching NOK 475 million (423) – slightly above the indication in the H2 2024 report.

Adjusted EBIT for the first half increased by 30.6 per cent to NOK 36.2 million (27.7), reflecting a 2.3 percentage point margin uplift. For the 2024/2025 academic year it grew by 43 per cent to NOK 68.8 million (48.1), reflecting a 3.1 percentage point improvement. Reported EBIT for the first half was NOK 27.8 million (24.3), and for the 2024/2025 academic year was NOK 56.5 million (37.1).

Both Oslo Nye Høyskole (ONH) and Sonans delivered higher Adjusted and Reported EBIT for the 2024/2025 academic year. However, Sonans recorded a slight profit decline in the first half, reflecting the absence of last year's gain from the sale of the collection portfolio and a higher allocation of Group expenses (mgmt. fee). Excluding these, the underlying cost trend remains positive, supported by efficiency gains and margin expansion.

ONH generated NOK 142.6 million in revenue in the first half, up 15.8 per cent, with Adjusted EBIT rising by 20.7% to NOK 28.5 million (23.6). For the academic year, revenue increased by 16.9 per cent to NOK 287.3 million (245.8), and Adjusted EBIT grew by 21.4 per cent to NOK 61.7 million (50.8). Reported EBIT for the same period was NOK 59.1 million (46.4).

Sonans reported NOK 93.4 million in first-half revenue (89.4), with Adjusted EBIT of NOK 11.3 million (13.2). For the academic year, revenue grew by close to 5 per cent to NOK 187.3 million (178.5) and Adjusted EBIT grew by 36.8 per cent to NOK 16.9 million (12.4). Reported EBIT for the same period was NOK 13.6 million (10.8).

In June 2025, Lumi Gruppen signed a Share Purchase Agreement to acquire Realfagshjelpen AS, an educational service provider specialising in tutoring and academic support in STEM subjects for upper secondary and university students in Norway. With 2024 revenues of NOK 2.4 million and a break-even result, the acquisition has limited short-term financial impact but will be integrated into the Sonans segment, supporting the Group's ambition to strengthen its position in high-demand, premium academic support services.

Strategic positioning going forward

Building on the positive momentum demonstrated by the Group's strong improvement in revenue and operating profit for both the first half and the 2024/2025 academic year, the Group has set a clear strategic course aimed at delivering on the financial ambitions for the 2026/2027 academic year.

This strategy focuses on sustaining doubledigit growth at ONH by capitalising on its institutional accreditation, broadening an already attractive programme portfolio, and reinforcing its position as a leader in

flexible learning models. It also prioritises expanding the vocational offering through Oslo Nye Fagskole, returning Sonans to normalised profitability through disciplined cost management and a leaner business model, and investing in initiatives that strengthen both the academic offering and the overall student experience. In parallel, the Group will explore selective acquisitions and new growth avenues to further enhance its competitive position and long-term value creation.

H1 2025Group Financials

All comments on the Group financials refer, unless otherwise stated, to the period from 1 January 2025 to 30 June 2025, compared to the corresponding period from 1 January 2024 to 30 June 2024. References are also made to the academic year, as mentioned at the beginning of the report, where this offers a more relevant basis for assessing the Group's performance.

Consolidated Income Statement

Total income for the first half of 2025 was NOK 235.9 million (212.6), up 11.0 per cent, driven mainly by Oslo Nye Høyskole (ONH), which delivered 15.8 per cent growth supported by new online programmes and a higher share of recurring multi-year revenues. Sonans returned to growth with a close to 5 per cent increase in the same period. For the 2024/2025 academic year, total income rose 12.2 per cent to NOK 475 million (423).

Total operating expenses, excluding depreciation

and impairment losses were NOK 183.4 million (165.6), reflecting higher personnel and other operating expenses. The increase was primarily driven by higher personnel expenses and a greater share of non-recurring items compared to last year.

Of the reported 6.4 per cent increase in personnel expenses corresponding to NOK 7 million, 5.2 per cent was attributable to annual salary inflation. Personnel expenses also included severance pay amounting to NOK 1.6 million.

Other operating expenses totalled NOK 58.0 million, up from NOK 51.3 million in the previous year. The increase was mainly driven by M&A-related expenses linked to ongoing strategic projects and campus restructuring. Excluding these non-recurring items, as well as other one-off costs during the period, other operating expenses amounted to NOK 51.6 million compared to 50.9 million the year before.

Total bad debt expenses for the Group increased by NOK 4.1 million to NOK 10.7 million in the first half, up from NOK 6.6 million in the same period last year. The increase was mainly due to a gain of approximately NOK 3.5 million recognised last year from the sale of the Sonans collection portfolio at a sales value above book value. Normally, the sales value and book value are more closely aligned, in line with the calculated provisions under the expected credit loss model.

Adjusting for this specific item, bad debt expenses for Sonans are in line with last year's level, with a bad debt expense ratio of 4.5 per cent in the current period, compared to an adjusted 4.8 per cent last year.

For the ONH segment, there was an improvement compared to last year, with a reduction of around 1 percentage point in the first half.

The Group (HQ) reported operating expenses before depreciation and impairment of NOK 26.3 million in the first half, compared to NOK 25.9 million in the same period last year. These expenses include non-recurring items, specifically costs related to ongoing strategic M&A projects, which are presented under non-recurring expenses.

Non-recurring expenses amounted to NOK 8.5 million for the first half of 2025, compared to NOK 3.4 million in the same period last year. Non-recurring items for the first half primarily relate to:

  • Campus restructuring expenses for Sonans.
  • Severance pay related to the partial restructuring of Oslo Nye Fagskole (part of the ONH segment).
  • M&A-related expenses for closed and ongoing strategic projects.
  • Other non-recurring professional fees.

Excluding non-recurring items, other operating expenses totalled NOK 51.6 million for the first half of 2025, compared to NOK 50.9 million in the same period last year. The Group expects non-recurring expenses to decrease in the coming periods.

Depreciation, amortisation, and impairment expenses amounted to NOK 24.8 million in the first half, compared to NOK 22.7 million in the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to higher depreciation for ONH, related to the recognition of the lease contract for the new campus at Adamstuen.

Operating profit (EBIT) for the Group amounted to NOK 27.8 million in the first half, with a margin of 11.8 per cent, compared to NOK 24.3 million in the same period last year (margin of 11.4 per cent).

Excluding non-recurring expenses, Adjusted EBIT reached NOK 36.2 million, corresponding to a margin of 15.3 per cent, up from NOK 27.7 million the year before (margin of 13.0 per cent). This improvement was driven by revenue growth across segments, with a solid 11.0 per cent increase in the first half. A stable contribution margin from education services, together with the continued impact of implemented cost programmes, further supported this development.

For the 2024/2025 academic year, Adjusted EBIT for the Group totalled NOK 68.8 million, with a margin of 14.5 per cent, compared to NOK 48.1 million the year before (margin of 11.4 per cent). The uplift in Adjusted EBIT represents year-on-year growth of 43.0 per cent. Reported EBIT for the 2024/2025 academic year was NOK 56.5 million (37.1).

Consolidated Statement of Financial Position

The Group's total assets amounted to NOK 1,049.9 million at the end of the first half, representing an increase of NOK 74.2 million compared to the same period last year. Equity totalled NOK 498.3 million, up NOK 17.8 million year-overyear. The equity ratio stood at 47.5 per cent, compared to 49.2 per cent in the prior year.

The increase in total assets is primarily driven by the recognition of new lease contracts, including a larger sub-leasing agreement; a higher amount of intangible assets, mainly related to the asset acquisition of Ekko in the second half of 2024; and an increase in receivables, as the sale of the collection portfolio from the 2024/2025 academic year will take place later than it did last year.

Current and non-current interest-bearing liabilities to financial institutions amounted to NOK 227.5 million at the end of the first half, compared to NOK 242.5 million in the same period last year. In addition, current and non-current interest-bearing liabilities (subordinated loan) to related parties totalled NOK 26.0 million excluding accrued interest.

Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

Year on year consolidated cash and cash equivalents decreased by a net NOK 19.8 million. As of the balance sheet date, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of NOK 45.3 million, compared to NOK 65.1 million last year.

Additionally, the Group had NOK 70.0 million available in undrawn amounts on the rolling credit facility, which remains unchanged from the previous year.

Net cash flow from the Group's operations was NOK 6.2 million in the first half, down from NOK 32.3 million in the same period last year. The reduction is primarily due to a negative effect from changes in working capital, particularly in trade receivables. This is linked to the sale of the collection portfolio in the prior year, which included receivables from both the 2022/2023 and 2024/2025 academic years. No comparable sale occurred in the first half of this year. The 2024/2025 portfolio will most likely be sold in H2 2025, with the exact timing dependent on the pricing offered by various collection agencies.

Net cash outflow from investing activities amounted to NOK 6.8 million in the first half, compared to an outflow of NOK 9.2 million in the prior year.

Net cash outflow from financing totalled NOK 22.9 million in the first half, compared to NOK 25.6 million in the prior year. The difference was primarily due to a NOK 3.9 million reduction in lease payments, reflecting savings for Sonans and a two-month rent-free period for ONH's new campus at Adamstuen.

Financing and Bank Covenant

The leverage ratio at the end of the first half stood at 2.5, well below the leverage covenant of 4.0.

Segment development

The Group's reporting structure comprises two operational segments: Oslo Nye Høyskole (ONH) and Sonans. Unless otherwise stated, comments regarding development reflect a comparison between the first of half this year and the same period last year. References are also made to the academic year, as mentioned in the start of the report, where this better reflects the Group's performance.

Oslo Nye Høyskole is the largest segment in Lumi Gruppen with a 60 per cent share of the total income in the first half of 2025, up from 58 per cent last year.

Total income increased by 15.8 per cent to NOK 142.6 million (123.1) in the first half. Sales growth was driven by new online programmes in combination with a higher share of recurring revenues from student volume growth over the past years.

Total operating expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation amounted to NOK 104.8 million, compared to NOK 92.1 million in the same period last year. The increase is largely attributable to higher personnel expenses, including a 5.2 per cent annual salary adjustment.

Other operating expenses were broadly in line with the prior year, aside from a higher allocation of Group expenses (mgmt. fee), which increased by NOK 1.8 million in the first half. Group expenses remained stable compared to last year, and the change in allocation is primarily accounting-related in nature.

Bad debt expenses, included in the operating expenses, were reduced by NOK 0.5 million in the first half and ended at NOK 4.4 million compared to NOK 4.9 million in the same period last year.

Depreciation and amortisation expenses amounted to NOK 10.8 million in the first half, compared to NOK 7.4 million the year before. The increase was mainly due to higher depreciation for the new premises at Adamstuen, including a timing effect from full depreciation of the lease asset, even though the first two months were rent-free in the first half.

Operating Profit/EBIT ended at NOK 26.9 million, with a corresponding margin of 19.0 per cent, compared to NOK 23.6 million and a margin of 19.2 per cent last year. When adjusting for non-recurring items, adjusted EBIT was NOK 28.5 million with a margin of 20.0 per cent. There were no non-recurring items in the same period last year.

Adjusted EBIT for the 2024/2025 academic year was NOK 61.7 million (50.8), with a corresponding margin of 21.4 per cent (20.7 per cent). Reported EBIT was NOK 59.1 million (46.4) in the same period.

The higher vocational school, Oslo Nye Fagskole, which is included in this segment, remains in an early development phase and is currently operating at a small loss, thereby affecting the segment's margin. Following a delay in the accreditation process by NOKUT, a partial restructuring was completed at the end of the first half. This will allow for more sustainable financial operations until additional accreditations are received.

There are no new updates regarding the timeline for ONH's institutional accreditation. The process typically takes 12–18 months, suggesting that accreditation could be in place by early 2026, enabling self-accredited programmes from the 2026/2027 academic year. Institutional accreditation would allow ONH to develop and launch programmes up to bachelor's level without relying on NOKUT's standard approval process, which currently delays new programme rollouts.

Sonans is the other segment in Lumi Gruppen with a 40 per cent share of the total income in the first half of 2025, compared to 42 per cent in the same period last year.

Total income increased by close to 5 per cent to NOK 93.4 million (89.4). The growth in revenue is explained by a more favourable market for Sonans where key drivers for the demand for private candidate exams are starting to normalise.

Total expenses excluding depreciation and amortisation amounted to NOK 70.7 million, compared to NOK 61.2 million in the same period last year. The increase is primarily driven by higher bad debt expenses of NOK 4.6 million, along with a higher allocation of Group expenses (mgmt. fee), which rose by NOK 3.0 million in the first half. Group expenses remained stable compared to last year, and the change in allocation is primarily accounting-related in nature.

The increase in bad debt expenses was mainly due to a gain of approximately NOK 3.5 million recognised last year from the sale of the Sonans collection portfolio at a sales value above book value. Normally, the sales value and book value are more closely aligned, in line with the calculated provisions under the expected credit loss model. Adjusting for this specific item, bad debt expenses for Sonans are in line with last year's level, with a bad debt expense ratio of 4.5 per cent in the current period, compared to an adjusted 4.8 per cent last year.

Excluding higher Group allocations, the gain from the Sonans portfolio sale, and NOK 2.1 million in nonrecurring expenses, total operating expenses are broadly in line with last year, indicating continued underlying margin improvement.

Depreciation and amortisation expenses amounted to NOK 13.5 million in the first half, down from NOK 15.0 million in the previous year. The reduction is due to improved lease terms on existing premises and subleasing arrangements.

Operating profit (EBIT) was NOK 9.1 million, compared to NOK 13.2 million in the same period last year. The decrease in EBIT is primarily explained by higher bad debt expenses and a larger share of Group expenses.

Adjusted EBIT amounted to NOK 11.3 million in the first half, compared to NOK 13.2 million in the same period last year. For the 2024/2025 academic year, adjusted EBIT totalled NOK 16.9 million (12.4), with a corresponding margin of 9.0 per cent (6.9). The reported EBIT was NOK 13.6 million (10.8) in the same period.

With Sonans' revenues now stabilised, management intends to focus on increasing operational efficiencies and will implement further measures to enhance margin performance based on current student volumes. Additionally, management remains committed to investing in initiatives that support sustainable growth in this segment, including Sonans' online offering, which is believed to be the largest in the private candidate market.

Market drivers and outlook

The market development for Lumi Gruppen remains closely tied to several macroeconomic factors, including the demand for higher education and the strength of the labour market. In recent years, the labour market has remained robust, particularly among younger age groups — an important target demographic for Lumi Gruppen. This continues to exert some pressure on demand for education, as strong employment opportunities may reduce the immediate need for further studies.

Data from Samordna opptak (The Norwegian Universities and Colleges Admission Service) for 2025 does not indicate any major shifts, but rather a continuation of a stable development. The gap between the number of applicants and available admission places remains largely unchanged, suggesting that the underlying demand dynamics are intact.

While recent years have seen a decline in the number of students re-taking exams — driven by a strong job market and grade inflation — the trend has now stabilised.

For ONH, the market outlook remains positive. The university college continues to benefit from its strategic focus on online education, which positions it well in a landscape where more students are migrating from traditional campus-based learning to flexible, digital formats. This trend is particularly evident among adult learners and career changers, expanding ONH's addressable market. The institution has built a strong reputation and remains the highest-rated multidisciplinary university college in Norway.

Overall, the Group continues to operate in a resilient and evolving education market. ONH is well positioned to capture further growth in the online segment, while Sonans has stabilised and has room for margin improvement even at current volume levels. Continued monitoring of regulatory and labour market developments will be essential to adapt and capture future opportunities.

2025/2026 autumn intake

Oslo Nye Høyskole (ONH)

The intake for the 2025/20226 academic year shows continued strong growth, albeit at a somewhat slower pace than in the previous year. This is primarily due to timing factors rather than underlying demand. Expansion of the programme portfolio has been temporarily constrained by delays in the accreditation of new programmes, which has had a direct impact on intake. The situation is expected to improve for the spring intake; however, as the spring intake has historically represented a smaller share of total intake, the overall effect is likely to be more limited.

As of week 32, 2025, the autumn intake shows growth of over 10 per cent in new contracts, with recurring revenues increasing at a similar rate.

Sonans

As of week 32, 2025, the autumn intake is developing in line with last year, with growth close to 5 per cent.

Trading update

With at least four weeks remaining in the intake period, it is too early to draw conclusions on the results. Lumi Gruppen will therefore issue a trading update later to provide the final intake figures and their financial impact.

Shareholderinformation

The Group's share capital was NOK 24.4 million as of 30 June 2025, consisting of 58 034 676 ordinary shares, each with a par value of NOK 0.42. All the shares are fully paid and have equal rights.

Notes to the Condensed interim financial statements

1 General information and basis of preparation

Lumi Gruppen AS (the Company) is the parent company of the Lumi Group (the Group) and is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Norway, with its head office at Bislett, Oslo. The shares of the Company are admitted to trading on Euronext Growth in Oslo, Norway with the ticker "LUMI".

The Group is a leading player in the Norwegian education market. The Group consists of the parent company Lumi Gruppen AS and its subsidiaries Lumi Services AS, Sonans Privatgymnas AS (Sonans), Oslo Nye Høyskole AS (ONH), ONH Education AS (ONH E), Oslo Nye Fagskole AS (ONF), Oslo NF AS, Ekko Digitale AS and Ekko Digitale Fagskole AS. The operating segments in the Group are Sonans and ONH, where ONH consists of ONH, ONH E and ONF.

The accounting policies applied by the Group in these consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, unless otherwise stated.

Estimates, judgements and assumptions

The preparation of interim condensed financial statements involves the use of accounting estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Management is required to exercise judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies. Please refer to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 for details.

2 Revenue from contracts with customers

The Group earns revenue by providing educational services, which are delivered both on campus and online. Services are delivered over time to the campus students and the online students who buy a course with unlimited access to the course content during the contract period. Educational revenue is earned over time (not at a point in time) and is allocated throughout the academic year as the services are delivered.

Invoicing for educational services is carried out at the start of each school semester. Invoices sent in the autumn semester are in some instances for both the semester and for the entire academic year fees. This results in recognition of deferred revenue, presented as a contract liability in the statement of financial position. This contract liability is always current, as the revenue will be earned within a maximum of nine months from the invoice date.

As stated in the annual report for FY 2024, goodwill is assessed for impairment annually and, as per IAS 36, more frequently if indicators of impairment are identified. Please see the 2024 annual report for a description of the accounting principles and identified cash generating units (CGUs) for goodwill in Lumi Gruppen. Goodwill was assessed for impairment on 31 December 2024.

Result of the impairment test 31 December 2024

No impairment is recognised in 2024 for either segment as a result of the impairment test performed at 31 December 2024.

With respect to the impairment testing made for the goodwill allocated to the CGU Sonans, the DCF is based upon the assumption that the private candidate market over the coming years will normalise and eventually return closer towards historical levels in terms of student volumes. Further, implemented and planned cost reductions will continue to have an impact during the coming years since these measures includes changes in operations that are not temporary in nature. And lastly, Sonans will continue to develop its educational offering, and this will also include commercial aspects that will reduce the impact of migration across channels. The DCF is based on budget for the school year 24/25 and prognosis are made for the following five school years. The prognosis period takes into account growth in prices, salaries and other cost of 2.5%. Payroll cost increases proportional to the increase in student volumes, as student volumes drives the number of classes and teacher FTEs. The prognosis set by management shows a return to historical levels of EBITDA for Sonans given a return of the private candidate market towards

historical levels combined with implemented cost measures in Sonans. Impairment testing has indicated no existing impairment requirements for goodwill.

Key assumptions with the measurement of value in use (enterprise value)

Measurement of the enterprise value for the CGUs is most sensitive for the following assumptions:

Discount rate

The discount rate is based on a weighted average cost of capital methodology (WACC). The nominal discount rate is based on the Group's estimated capital cost measured as the weighted average of the costs for the Group's equity and debt. The WACC considers the interest rate of the debt, the risk-free interest rate, the debt-to-total-assets ratio, risk premium and an equity risk premium. Beta and debt ratio are based on an average of the applied industry group and a peer group.

Growth rates

Growth rates applied in the impairment testing for goodwill are based on management's expectations for market developments. Based on available information and management's market expertise, the expectation is a slight increase in growth over the coming years with a flat and moderate growth when calculating the terminal value in the DCF model. Management expectations are based on historical trends and publicly available industry analyses. As is the case with expectations with an element of uncertainty, there can be a need for adjustments to the estimates in future periods.

The following key assumptions were used for the value-in-use calculations for CGU Sonans and ONH at 31 December 2024:

— WACC (after tax) 11.2% (10.9% at 31 December 2023)

— Terminal growth rate 3.0% (2.75% at 31 December 2023)

Sensitivity analysis

The Group has prepared a sensitivity analysis of the impairment tests to changes in the key assumptions which are the terminal growth rate and WACC. This analysis indicates that reasonable changes in the assumptions will not cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the recoverable amount.

11 Interest-bearing liabilities

Current and non-current liabilities to financial institutions are financial liabilities, primarily bank loans, and are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method to measure interest expense on the loans. The liabilities to financial institutions are loan facilities from Nordea. In addition, Lumi Gruppen has a loan from major shareholder Lola Bidco AS of NOK 26 million.

The current loan agreement with Nordea has the following terms:

  • The loan is arranged as two term loans, Term Loan A ("TLA") of NOK 27.5 million (originally NOK 50 million) and Term Loan B ("TLB") NOK 200 million
  • Current revolving credit facility ("RCF") of NOK 70 million
  • TLA and RCF margin range from 300 bps to 450 bps
  • TLB margin range 350 bps to 500 bps
  • Biannual instalments to TLA of NOK 7.5 million until termination date
  • Termination date 15 August 2026

The covenant is set as follows:

— Covenant (NIBD / EBITDA) 3.0x in Q1 and Q3, and 4.0x in Q2 and Q4 to account for seasonal working capital fluctuations

The covenant is tested quarterly. At 30 June 2025, the leverage ratio was 2.5. The ratio is calculated based on NGAAP (excluding IFRS 16) and including adjustments of EBITDA from non-recurring items, capped at a maximum of 15%. The leverage ratio is calculated as total net debt, excluding the subordinated loan, divided by EBITDA.

On 17 November 2023, Lumi Gruppen signed a new unsecured subordinated loan agreement for loan financing in the amount of NOK 52 million provided by Lola Bidco AS, securing the repayment of NOK 50 million to Nordea. Lola Bidco AS owned 23.5% of the shares in Lumi Gruppen AS at 30 June 2025 and is controlled by majority shareholder Hanover Equity Fund III. The loan was entered into on an arms-length basis and with terms in line with the Nordea Term Loan Facility A. As a consideration for the loan, an annual interest rate is charged, subject to adjustments to ensure that the interest rate payable under the loan agreement shall correspond to the interest rate that would have been payable if the loan had remained outstanding under (and added to) the Nordea Term Loan A Facility (the facility with the lowest margin across the Nordea Facilities) for the same period.

In April 2024 the first repayment of the Lola Bidco loan of NOK 26 million plus accrued unpaid interest of NOK 1,9 million was converted into equity by issuing a total of 2,793,243 new shares to Lola Bidco AS.

Lumi Gruppen shall repay the then remaining outstanding loan together with all accrued interest on 16 September 2026 or, if later, the first business day after the termination date under the Nordea Loan Facility.

Alternative Performance Measures (APM) — definitions

The Group reports its financial results in accordance with IFRS accounting principles as issued by the IASB and as endorsed by the EU. However, management believes that certain Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) provide management and other users with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing the Group's ongoing performance. These APMs are non-IFRS financial measures and should not be viewed as a substitute for any IFRS financial measure. Management, the board of directors and the long-term lenders regularly use APMs to understand, manage and evaluate the business and its operations. These APMs are among the factors used in planning for and forecasting future periods, including assessing compliance with financial covenants. Alternative Performance Measures reflect adjustments based on the following items:

Adjusted EBITDA before impact of IFRS 16

Adjusted EBITDA before impact of IFRS 16 is a measure of EBITDA adjusted for (i) lease expenses applying IAS 17 Leases, (ii) revenue and cost from sold or acquired business, and (iii) certain extraordinary items affecting comparability, referred to as Non-Recurring items in this report. The Group has presented this APM because it considers it to be an important supplemental measure to understand the leverage ratio of the Group.

Adjusted ebitda margin

Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue.

EBIT

EBIT is a measure of earnings before deducting net financial items and taxes. The Group has presented this APM because it considers it to be an important supplemental measure to understand the overall picture of profit generation in the Group's operating activities.

Adjusted EBIT

Adjusted EBIT is a measure of EBIT adjusted for (i) revenue and cost from sold or acquired business, and (ii) certain extraordinary items affecting comparability referred to as Non-Recurring items in this report. The Group has presented these APMs because it considers them to be important supplemental measures to understand the underlying profit generation in the Group's operating activities.

Adjusted EBIT margin

Adjusted EBIT divided by total revenue.

Net debt

Current and non-current borrowings for the period (excluding property lease liabilities recognised under IFRS 16) less cash and cash equivalents for the period. Net debt is a non-IFRS financial measure, which the Group considers to be an APM, and this measure should not be viewed as a substitute for any IFRS financial measure. The Group has presented this APM as it is a useful indicator of the Group's indebtedness, financial flexibility and capital structure because it indicates the level of borrowings after taking into account cash and cash equivalents within the Group's business that could be utilised to pay down the outstanding borrowings. Net Debt is also used as part of the assessment for financial covenant compliance.

Leverage ratio

Net debt divided by last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA before impact of IFRS 16.

Capital expenditure

Capital expenditure (capex) is a measure of total investment in the period both in the operations and in development of new business. Capital expenditures consist of both maintenance capex and development capex and the source of capex is the Statement of cash flows.
