* The IMTAS transaction was completed at the end of March. According to IFRS, performance must be recognized from the transaction date. To show the consolidated group as starting from January 1 we have included IMTAS.
** On March 26, EQVA divested its ownership in Vassnes Group for NOK 10 million. The gross profit from the sale (37,6 MNOK) is significant - mainly due to the demerger effect from previously reported negative equity value in Vassnes (per Q4 24). The accounting profit from the sale (less operational P&L for Vassnes for the period) is presented as discontinued operations on next slide.
