Sub-chapter CEO comments

Building Norway's strongest mobility and transportation team

In the second quarter, we announced plans to acquire ViaNova group, a consulting engineering firm well known for its strong competence in transport and mobility. This marks our largest strategic acquisition since Erichsen & Horgen in 2021 and represents a significant milestone on our growth journey. We look forward to welcoming the ViaNova employees to Multiconsult. ViaNova and Multiconsult are a great strategic fit with complementary strengths, and I am confident that together we will achieve our ambition to build Norway's strongest mobility and transportation team.

Working together with ViaNova on projects over several years, we know they foster a culture of innovation and development. They are also pioneers in utilising digital tools - particularly within road infrastructure planning and engineering. Our two companies are a strong cultural match, sharing similar values and complementary competencies, together we strengthen the value proposition to our clients and enable us to take a greater share of the mobility and transportation market. I am truly looking forward to welcoming ViaNova's highly competent employees once the transaction is completed.

Order intake in the second quarter was on par with the same period last year. Our order backlog is strong, supporting a high level of activity going forward. The moderate EBITA performance in the quarter, compared to the same quarter last year, is primarily due to four fewer working days in the second quarter 2025 vs. a year ago. In addition, billing ratio was lower than in the same period last year, and the increase in billing rates have not kept pace with the rise in salaries and other operating costs. We continue to implement measures to mitigate this issue.

– We look forward to welcoming the ViaNova employees to Multiconsult. ViaNova and Multiconsult are a great strategic fit with complementary strengths, and I am confident that together we will achieve our ambition to build Norway's strongest mobility and transportation team.

Grethe Bergly, CEO

Our architecture businesses, A-Lab and LINK Arkitektur, continue to win important contracts and make valuable contributions to our overall performance, continuing the improvement we have seen in the architecture segment. In addition, our segment International – including Iterio and Multiconsult Polska – delivered good results in the second quarter.

Investor relations information

this quarter secured numerous new projects that align with our strategic ambitions. One of our key strategic ambitions is developing our leading position in large and complex projects - our project for Helse Sør-Øst, developing the new radiation centre in Skien, Telemark is a prime example of a project supporting this direction.

We have also secured projects that align well with our strategic ambition to expand our position as a preferred partner in the energy transition. One strong example is our new project for Statnett related to the upgrade of the electricity infrastructure in the Greater Oslo region. Another is the extensive rehabilitation and upgrade of the Nes hydropower plant, a project where we will draw on our strong expertise in renewable energy systems.

The final strategic area I would like to highlight is our ambition to be a driving force in urban transformation and development. Recent assignments such as the planning of student housing in Oslo, district development at Mindemyren in the southern part of Bergen, the transformation of an old liquor distillery "Spritfabriken" in southern Sweden are clear indicators of our strong market position in this field.

In June, the Association of Consulting Engineers Norway (RIF) published the report "Norges tilstand 2025" ("The State of the Nation 2025"), revealing a significant maintenance backlog across Norway's infrastructure and buildings. The maintenance gap is particularly concerning in strategically sensitive areas that are critical to our national defence readiness. Defence capability extends far beyond weapons and personnel - robust infrastructure is a cornerstone of a resilient and responsive system. This reinforces the importance of Multiconsult's expertise in developing and maintaining critical infrastructure, and underlines the significant role we can play in addressing these challenges for the benefit of society.

Given today's geopolitical situation, it is deeply meaningful to know that our skilled workforce is contributing valuable engineering expertise to strengthening our transportation and energy infrastructure. In line with this it is a great recognition of our professional strength that we have a number of ongoing framework agreements for architecture and engineering services with the Norwegian Defence Estates Agency.

We have much to be proud of. Just before the summer holidays, we learned that Norwegian students regard Multiconsult as the most attractive employer in the industry — a great honour and an inspiring signal that we are heading in the right direction. More recently, I had the pleasure of meeting a large group of enthusiastic students who spent the summer working with us, and as we prepare to welcome new graduates as permanent employees that bring energy and new perspectives it bodes well for a bright and promising future.

Investor relations information

Second quarter and first half 2025

Multiconsult delivered a moderate second quarter, with increased M&A activity in an overall stable market. Multiconsult's second quarter EBITA was NOK 67.4 million, which gives an EBITA for the first half of 2025 of NOK 257.8 million. The EBITA margin for the quarter was 4.8 per cent, and 8.8 per cent for the first half of the year. EBITA in the second quarter decreased 17.6 per cent or NOK 32.7 million yearon-year, after adjustment for calendar effects. EBIT developed in line with EBITA.

There was high activity in most segments, and the result was positively impacted by higher billing rates, but negatively affected by reduced capacity due to a lower number of working days. Net operating revenues amounted to NOK 1 415.9 million, with organic revenue growth at 4.2 per cent, adjusted for the calendar effect and acquisitions. The billing ratio was 72.9 per cent, 0.9 percentage points lower than the comparable quarter last year. Order intake was NOK 1 539 million resulting in an order backlog of NOK 4 575 million. The intent to acquire the ViaNova group represents an important milestone for continued growth, paving the way for further value creation at Multiconsult.

Group results Second quarter 2025 Multiconsult group

#Section #Chapter #Sub-chapter

Net operating revenues amounted to NOK 1 415.9 million (1 424.9), a decrease of 0.6 per cent compared to the same quarter last year. The decrease in net operating revenues compared to second quarter of 2024 is mainly driven by lower capacity due to a calendar effect of four less working days. Adjusted for calendar effect and acquisition, the organic revenue growth amounted to 4.2 per cent. The decrease in net operating revenues was primarily driven by the mentioned decreased capacity, and a lower billing ratio. The billing ratio declined by 0.9 percentage points to 72.9 per cent (73.8). The decrease in net operating revenues was partly offset by higher billing rates. Net operating revenues was affected by write-downs related to the Sotra project of NOK 4.7 million.

Operating expenses consist of employee benefit expenses and other operating expenses. Operating expenses increased by 9.0 per cent to NOK 1 285.3 million (1 178.9) compared to the same quarter in 2024. Employee benefit expenses increased by 8.9 per cent. This increase is mainly attributable to higher employee benefit expenses due to ordinary salary adjustments and increased staffing levels. In the comparable quarter last year, employee benefit expenses were affected by a temporary employer contribution tax of 5 per cent for salaries/compensation above NOK 850 thousand in Norway. Other operating expenses increased by 10.1 per cent to NOK 174.1 million (158.0), primarily due to higher IT-costs and general cost increase.

EBITDA was NOK 130.6 million (245.9), a decrease of 46.9 per cent compared to the same period last year, reflecting an EBITDA margin of 9.2 per cent (17.3) in the quarter.

EBITA came in at NOK 67.4 million (185.7), a decrease of 63.7 per cent year-over-year, reflecting an EBITA margin of 4.8 per cent (13.0) in the quarter.

Net financial items were an expense of NOK 17.6 million (income 1.4). The increase in net financial items is primarily due to lower other financial income compared to the second quarter of 2024. The second quarter of 2024 included a subsequent measurement of a gross put option obligation related to the A-lab acquisition of NOK 25.4 million. Additionally, net financial items are impacted by lower net currency losses and higher interest expenses compared to the same period last year.

Group tax rate was 20.5 per cent (20.4).

Reported profit for the period was NOK 40.3 million (147.9). Earnings per share for the quarter were NOK 1.45 (5.36).

Calendar effect. The second quarter of 2025 comprised four fewer working days compared to the corresponding period in 2024. This has an estimated negative impact of NOK 85.5 million on net operating revenues and operating results. Multiconsult uses alternative performance measures to provide a better understanding of the group's underlying financial performance, see the last section of this report.

First half 2025 Multiconsult group

Net operating revenues increased by 5.3 per cent to NOK 2 939.4 million (2 791.8). The organic revenue growth amounted to 4.2 per cent, adjusted for calendar effect and acquisition. The increase in net operating revenues was driven by increased capacity reflected by an increase in full-time equivalents (FTE) of 4.1 per cent and higher billing rates. The growth in net operating revenues was

offset by lower billing ratio of 1.1 percentage points, which came in at 72.5 per cent (73.6).

Operating expenses consist of employee benefit expenses and other operating expenses. Reported operating expenses increased by 8.8 per cent to NOK 2 556.3 million (2 349.8) compared to the first half of 2024. Employee benefit expenses increased by 8.5 per cent and came in at NOK 2 212.7 million (2 038.8), an increase driven by net recruitment, regular salary adjustments and employee benefit expenses arising from acquisitions. In the comparable period last year, employee benefit expenses were affected by a temporary employer contribution tax of 5 per cent for salaries/compensation above NOK 850 thousand in Norway. Other operating expenses increased by 10.5 per cent to NOK 343.6 million (311.0), primarily due to higher IT-costs, office expenses, and general cost increase.

EBITDA was NOK 383.1 million (442.0), a decrease of 13.3 per cent compared to the same period last year, reflecting an EBITDA margin of 13.0 per cent (15.8).

EBITA was NOK 257.8 million (322.4), a decrease of 20.0 per cent y-o-y, reflecting an EBITA margin of 8.8 per cent (11.5). EBITA is affected by legal expenses and write-down, related to Sotra project of NOK 13.7 million.

Net financial items were an expense of NOK 35.5 million (16.9). The increase is primarily due to other financial income recognition in the second quarter of 2024 associated with the acquisition of A-lab of NOK 25.4 million. Additionally, net financial items are impacted by lower net currency losses and slightly higher net interest expenses compared to the same period last year.

Group tax rate was 21.9 per cent (20.8).

#Section #Chapter #Sub-chapter

Reported profit for the period was NOK 175.1 million (243.4). The decrease y-o-y is partly affected by an income of NOK 25.4 million in the comparable period last year due to subsequent measurement of gross put option obligation associated with the acquisition of A-lab.

Calendar effect. In the first half of 2025, the average number of working days was the same as in 2024. However, due to variations in working days within the months between the two years, there was an estimated negative impact of NOK 2.6 million on net operating revenues and operating results. In connection with the number of working days in comparable periods Multiconsult uses alternative performance measures to provide a better understanding of the group's underlying financial performance, see last section of this report.

Markets, order intake and backlog

Multiconsult has announced several contracts and framework agreements lately, contributing positively to the robust order backlog. The growing number of large framework agreements is affecting the order intake, as the order backlog is only registered when a call-off under a framework agreement is signed. This results in a significant number of smaller call-offs over time, rather than a single large order intake per framework agreement. The total consolidated order intake in the quarter amounted to NOK 1 539 million (1 531), an increase of 0.6 per cent year-over-year. The order backlog is still high, with a diversified portfolio distributed across all business areas. At the end of the quarter the order backlog was NOK 4 575 million (4 943), a decrease of 3.7 per cent compared to last quarter and a decrease of 7.4 per cent year-over-year.

Multiconsult group reports on markets, order intake and backlog through the following four business areas: — Buildings & Properties

  • Mobility & Transportation
  • Energy & Industry

#Section #Chapter #Sub-chapter

— Water & Environment

The size and timing of execution of the order backlog varies significantly between the business areas and locations. The order backlog does not reflect the total expected volume related to framework agreements and includes only call-offs that have been signed under these agreements.

Investor relations information

Below is an outline of the market development associated with the four business areas during the quarter.

Buildings & Properties

#Section #Chapter #Sub-chapter

The housing and real estate market remained challenging, with low investment levels and notable geographical variations. Defence-related opportunities continued to support activity, while energy efficiency projects and new hospital developments showed positive momentum. The Scandinavian architecture market remained demanding, with some signs of improvement, particularly in Denmark. The market in Sweden continued to be more difficult. Despite the overall market conditions, the Architecture segment secured important projects during the quarter.

Among projects included in the order intake during the quarter were:

  • Forsvarsbygg (ENG: The Norwegian Defence Estates Agency)
  • Økern Urban development in Oslo
  • DeepOcean new headoffice in Haugesund
  • Museum of the Viking Age
  • New radiation centre for the Telemark Hospital

Mobility & Transportation

The market situation within Mobility & Transportation remained largely unchanged, continuing at a high and stable level. The trend towards mid-size and smaller projects and a more balanced use of large designand-build contracts continued. In Poland, the market remained challenging despite a solid pipeline of opportunities, with political priorities and uncertainty around EU funding unchanged. Infrastructure investments

in Sweden remained high, although the financial situation contributed to a limited number of new projects. Iterio continued to face a demanding market, with ongoing uncertainty related to both new framework agreements and call-offs under existing agreements.

Among projects included in the order intake during the quarter were:

  • Fornebubanen (ENG: Fornebu Line)
  • Forsvarsbygg (ENG: The Norwegian Defence Estates Agency)
  • Myrdal stasjon (railway station)

Energy & Industry

The market situation remained largely unchanged, continuing at a strong and high level. Activity within the green energy transition continued to face challenges, including political uncertainty, limited grid capacity, and difficulties securing viable returns in the international energy market. Demand from traditional onshore industry and aquaculture remained steady, while developments in grid infrastructure and the electrification of existing facilities sustained a high level of activity.

Among projects included in the order intake during the quarter were:

  • Hafslund Celsio's carbon capture and storage solution (CCS)
  • Northern Lights (CCS)
  • Langerud Hasle, transmission and distribution line
  • Rana substation
  • Nes hydropower plant

Water & Environment

The market situation remained largely unchanged, with stable demand continuing for water and sewage infrastructure projects, as well as for services related to climate adaptation, environmental remediation, and biodiversity. A sustained focus on sustainability and nature conservation across sectors contributed to increased demand for advisory services. These trends were consistent across all Scandinavian countries and Poland.

Among projects included in the order intake during the quarter were:

  • Water supply to Oslo
  • Vågåmo Flood protection
  • Åsane Nord (wastewater)

#Section #Chapter #Sub-chapter Region Oslo

This segment offers services in four business areas and comprises the Oslo region, including the Lillehammer office, Large Projects in Norway and the subsidiaries Multiconsult UK, Sitepartner and Lifetec.

Key figures – Region Oslo

Full-time equivalents (FTE) 1 170 1 125 1 152 1 123

Second quarter 2025 – Region Oslo

Net operating revenues in the quarter were NOK 521.8 million (531.6), a decrease of 1.8 per cent compared to the same quarter last year. The decrease in net operating revenues was primarily driven by decreased capacity due to four fewer working days and a lower billing ratio compared to the second quarter of last year. The billing ratio decreased by 1.5 percentage points to 72.8 per cent (74.3). This decrease was offset by higher billing rates and a 4.0 per cent growth in full-time equivalents (FTE) that increased capacity in the segment. Additionally, compared to the previous year, there was a slight negative impact due to organisational changes, where FTEs were moved from Region Oslo to Not-allocated, affecting its net operating revenues and results.

Operating expenses amounted to NOK 476.3 million (444.8), an increase of 7.1 per cent. Employee benefit expenses were NOK 373.4 million (349.8), an increase of 6.7 per cent, in line with ordinary salary adjustments and a net increase in the number of employees. Other operating

increase in costs.

expenses amounted to NOK 103.0 million (95.0), an increase of 8.4 per cent, driven by generally higher IT-costs and an overall Amounts in NOK million 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 Q2 2025 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 2024 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 2023 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 2022 417 453 532 522 (1.8%)

Net operating revenues

EBITA amounted to NOK 38.3 million (80.7), with a corresponding margin of 7.3 per cent (15.2). The decrease is primarily due to reduced capacity affected by the calendar effect and a lower billing ratio compared to the same quarter last year. Higher billing rates and an increase in capacity reflected in full-time equivalents contributed positively to the EBITA.

Second quarter 2025 – Region Norway

Net operating revenues amounted to NOK 583.4 million (575.3), an increase of 1.4 per cent compared to the same quarter last year. The increase in net operating revenues was mainly driven by increased capacity, reflected in a 5.9 per cent growth in full-time equivalents (FTE), and increased billing rates. The increase in net operating revenues was offset by a reduced capacity due to four fewer working days, and by a lower billing ratio, which came in at 72.3 per cent (73.3), a decrease of 1.0 percentage point compared to the second quarter of last year.

Operating expenses amounted to NOK 544.5 million (478.6), an increase of 13.8 per cent. Employee benefit expenses came in at NOK 416.0 million (374.3), an increase of 11.1 per cent. The increase was mainly driven by net recruitment, ordinary salary adjustments, and expenses from acquired companies. Other operating expenses amounted to NOK 128.5 million (104.2), an increase of 23.2 per cent due to overall cost increases, higher IT-costs, and expenses from acquired companies.

EBITA amounted to NOK 29.9 million (88.2), with a corresponding margin of 5.1 per cent (15.3). The decrease is primarily due to reduced capacity affected by the calendar effect, lower billing ratio, and higher operating expenses compared to the same quarter last year. Higher billing rates and an increase in capacity reflected in full-time equivalents contributed positively to the EBITA.

Second quarter 2025 – Architecture

Net operating revenues amounted to NOK 206.4 million (212.5), a decrease of 2.9 per cent compared to the corresponding quarter last year. The decrease was primarily caused by fewer working days. the negative effect was partially offset by a 4.1 per cent increase in full-time equivalents (FTE) compared to the same period last year and by higher billing rates. Billing ratio remained consistent and came in at the same level as last year. Additionally, the corresponding quarter last year was positively affected by a sale of royalty rights.

Operating expenses amounted to NOK 192.1 million (184.7), an increase of 4.0 per cent compared to the same period last year. Employee benefit expenses totalled NOK 165.0 million (157.3), reflecting an increase of 4.9 per cent, in line with ordinary salary adjustments and a net

increase in the number of employees. Other operating expenses amounted to NOK 27.1 million (27.4), representing a 1.0 per cent decrease.

EBITA amounted to NOK 5.4 million (19.1), corresponding to a margin of 2.6 per cent (9.0).

Second quarter 2025 – International

Net operating revenues amounted to NOK 110.5 million (102.7), an increase of 7.6 per cent compared to the same quarter last year. The increase in net operating revenues was mainly driven by increased capacity, reflected in a 13.6 per cent growth in full-time equivalents (FTE), and increased billing rates. However, the capacity increase was partially offset by fewer working days compared to the same period last year and by a reduction in billing ratio. Additionally, growth in net operating revenues is positively affected by currency translation effects.

Operating expenses amounted to NOK 98.2 million (97.9), 0.3 per cent higher than in the same period last year. Employee benefit expenses increased by 8.8 per cent, primarily due to the ordinary annual salary adjustment and the inclusion of employees from VA-Resurs in this segment. The increase was also partly impacted by currency translation effects. Other operating expenses amounted to NOK 13.7 million (20.3), the decrease is driven by an overall cost reduction and lower travel and meeting expenses compared to the same quarter last year. Additionally, the corresponding quarter last year was negatively affected by M&A related expenses.

EBITA amounted to NOK 6.9 million (negative 0.4), corresponding to a margin of 6.2 per cent (negative 0.4). The increase was driven by higher capacity, higher billing rates, and a reduction in operating expenses compared to the same quarter last year.

Outlook

#Section #Chapter #Sub-chapter

These forward-looking statements reflect current views about future events and are, by their nature, subject to significant risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances in the future.

The overall market outlook remains stable, supported by continued investment in key public sectors, particularly defence and infrastructure, as geopolitical uncertainty has increased. The building and property market continues to face low investment levels and constrained public budgets. However, energy efficiency projects and hospital developments have shown positive signs.

The energy market remains strong, especially within electrification and grid development, while green transition projects continue to face challenges linked to political priorities, grid capacity, and investment returns. The infrastructure market is solid, characterised by a few large projects and a good mix of mid-size and smaller opportunities in the pipeline. Conditions in Sweden remain uncertain, particularly within infrastructure and architecture.

Although billing rates have increased slightly over the past year, the competitive landscape continues to evolve, with pressure on margins and pricing sensitivity across architectural and engineering services. A healthy pipeline and a high number of framework agreements support continued stability, although order intake is increasingly fragmented due to the structure of call-offs under framework agreements.

Multiconsult does not provide forecasts.

Risk and uncertainties

Through its business activities, Multiconsult manages a considerable contract portfolio of engineering, architectural and advisory services that is exposed to a wide variety of risk factors. The risk of disagreements and legal disputes related to the possible cost of delays and project errors is always present in the business.

The Risk Management section of the directors' report in the 2024 Annual Report contains detailed descriptions and mitigating actions related to several risk factors, including: project risk (including risk related to the Sotra Link project, where legal proceedings are set to start in September 2025), credit risk, currency risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, accounting estimates risk, employees and expertise risk, nature and climate risk, macroeconomic developments and geopolitical tensions, and information and cyber security risk.

The proposed US tariff schemes towards Norway and EU are foreseen to have minimal short-term impact on Multiconsult operations. However, this may have a negative effect on parts of the private export industry, resulting in increased uncertainty and potential delays in investments.

Notes to the financial statements

Investor relations information

Note 1  General information

The company and the group

Multiconsult ASA (the company) is a Norwegian public limited liability company listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. The company and its subsidiaries (together the Multiconsult group/ the group) are among the leading suppliers of consultancy and design services in Norway and the Nordic region. The group has subsidiaries outside the Nordic region – in Poland, United Kingdom, Portugal and Serbia.

Note 2  Basis of preparation and statements

Basis for preparation

#Section

Sub-chapter

Notes to the financial statements

The group prepares its consolidated annual financial statements in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU (International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS). References to IFRS in these financial statements refer to IFRS Accounting Standards as approved by the EU. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, with the exceptions presented below.

The financial statements are presented in NOK, rounded to the nearest thousand NOK, unless otherwise stated. As a result of

rounding adjustments, the figures in one or more rows or columns included in the financial statements and notes may not sum exactly to the total of that row or column.

Statements

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the second quarter and first half of 2025 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 as approved by the EU. They have not been audited. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements of the group and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements

for 2024. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those applied and described in the consolidated annual financial statements for 2024, which are available upon request from the company's registered office at Nedre Skøyen vei 2, 0276 Oslo and at www.multiconsultgroup.com/investor-relations.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the second quarter and first half of 2025 were approved by the board of directors and the CEO on 18 August 2025.

Note 3  Estimates, judgements and assumptions

The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, significant judgements were made by management in applying the group's accounting policies. The key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those

applied to the annual consolidated financial statements for 2024 and described in note 2 in the annual consolidated financial statements.

Impairment test of Goodwill

Cash-generating units are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment exist. The estimated recoverable amounts are affected by assumptions in connection with the estimation of future cash flows, as well as the discount rate used to estimate

the present value of future cash flows. An assessment of impairment indicators was made on 30 June 2025. No impairment indicators were identified, and thereby a full test was not performed. The group performed full impairment tests on 31 December 2024, which did not result in any impairment of goodwill, property, plant and equipment, or intangible assets related to any of the cash generating units.

Note 5  Explanatory comments regarding the impact of revenue seasonality on quarterly reporting

Note 10  Events after the reporting period

On 19 June 2025, Multiconsult ASA announced that it had entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI) with the shareholders to acquire all issued and outstanding shares of ViaNova AS, Via-Nova Trondheim AS, ViaNova Kristiansand AS, and ViaNova Eureka AS (collectively referred to as "ViaNova").

The LOI marked the initial agreement between the parties to move forward with the transaction, subject to the negotiation of a final and binding share purchase agreement. The transaction is valued at NOK 300 million on a debt and cash-free basis. The parties have agreed to negotiate in good faith and aim to sign a binding share purchase agreement before the end of the exclusivity period on 30 September 2025. The transaction is anticipated to be completed by mid-October 2025, following approval from the Norwegian Competition Authority.

As of the date of this issued Interim report Q2 and first half 2025 (18 August 2025), no changes have been made to the LOI and no further information was available. Consequently, it is not possible to reliably estimate the financial impact of the potential acquisition.

No other events have been identified that require disclosure.

The total purchase price was set at NOK 10.8 million, after adjustment for the value of net debt and normalised working capital at the transaction date. A contingent consideration, estimated at NOK 1.1 million at acquisition date, may be paid to the seller as an earn-out payment based on defined levels of billing ratios from September 2025 to August 2026. The acquisition generated an excess value of NOK 8.9 million allocated to goodwill. Goodwill is related to the competence of the staff and to synergy effects. Goodwill is not expected to be tax-deductible. Net cash paid was NOK 7.4 million.

Alternative performance measures (APMs)

Multiconsult uses alternative performance measures for periodic and annual financial reporting in order to provide a better understanding of the group's underlying financial performance. As of the first quarter of 2024, the alternative performance

measure related to the Other OPEX ratio has been removed from this overview as underlying transactions have changed, mainly related to IT-costs, and key figures no longer provide relevant and comparable information.
