Oslo, 15th August 2025: Itera recorded operating revenue of NOK 202.9 million

for the second quarter, with an EBIT margin of 2.1%. While the year began with

promising momentum, market conditions remained soft due to continued

geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty. Despite the challenging environment,

the company achieved record-high revenue from new customers and made significant

progress in the Defence sector.

Itera reported operating revenue of NOK 202.9 million in the second quarter of

2025, down 9% from the same quarter last year. The soft market environment led

to longer sales cycles and reduced visibility, slowing resource redeployment

after major project completions. Productivity was also affected by the Easter

holidays, unlike the first quarter of the previous year.

- Despite market challenges, we achieved record-high revenue from new customers,

with those acquired over the past twelve months now making up 18% of our total

revenue—a positive indicator for future growth, says CEO Arne Mjøs.

The operating result before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) for the

quarter was NOK 12.4 million (NOK 29.4 million). The EBITDA margin was 6.1%

(13.1%).

The operating result (EBIT) for the second quarter was a profit of NOK 4.4

million (NOK 21.1 million). The EBIT margin decreased by 7.3 percentage points

to 2.1% (9.4%).

- To improve our performance, we must continue enhancing operational

effectiveness through deeper AI integration in internal processes, supported by

reduced overhead and operating expenses, notes Arne Mjøs.

Itera signed new framework agreements with Bane NOR, Statkraft, and The

Norwegian Offshore Directorate (Sokkeldirektoratet). The company is also engaged

in discussions around several potentially large contracts that may materialise

in the second half of 2025.

- Through our Enter Ukraine with Itera initiative, we have made strong progress

in the Defence sector, aligning with Europe’s growing focus on security and

resilience. With 17 years in Ukraine and insights from its defence ecosystem,

Itera is supporting leading Nordic and global defence players entering the

Ukrainian market, says Arne Mjøs.

Cash flow from operations was NOK 20.8 million (NOK 28.0 million) for the

quarter and NOK 68.3 million (NOK 76.3 million) for the last twelve months,

which gives an EBITDA-to-cash conversion rate of 104% (76%).

The persistent high conversion rate enables returning cash to shareholders,

which is a major objective. To that end, Itera paid an ordinary dividend of NOK

0.20 per share in June, and the Board received authorisation to approve a

possible supplementary dividend later in the year.

Itera’s headcount at the end of the second quarter of 2025 was 702 as compared

to 713 at the end of the second quarter of 2024. The marginally lower headcount

reflects the still-current softer market conditions.
