WE LEAD THE WAY AND BUILD TOMORROW'S SOCIETY
In today's society, digitalisation is a crucial factor with respect to companies' delivery capability and competitiveness. As a leading consultancy firm focused on IT and digital communications and with extensive experience, closeness to clients and broad expertise, Bouvet is a very attractive digitalisation partner for organisations in both the private and public sectors.
Digitalisation is about utilising technology to deliver products and services which match user expectations, overcoming challenges and seizing opportunities. This is a broad and ongoing task, as companies can never say that they are "fully digitalised". Put simply, digitalisation involves preparing for the future every single day.
As a company, we have developed an ability to understand our clients' businesses and to collaborate on the creation and development of effective longterm digital solutions. This approach has resulted in very close client relationships and a steadily increasing assignment inflow, from both new and existing clients. We are a strategic partner for many enterprises, and our broad range of IT, design, communications and advisory services often results in our selection as a full-solution supplier.
Our close relationship with our clients is only possible because we execute all our assignments in accordance with strict security and accountability requirements. Our regional model reduces bureaucracy and ensures short decision-making pathways, giving us the adaptability we need to respond to individual client challenges in an ever-changing landscape.
Close ties are a competitive advantage, but also a prerequisite for the development of ever-better solutions in line with our vision. By executing assignments for and in collaboration with important societal stakeholders, we are helping society to progress.
As at 30 September 2025, we had 2 354 employees across 14 offices in Norway and two in Sweden.

The third quarter of the year was a stable quarter for Bouvet, with new and exciting contracts, growth in the number of employees and strong project deliveries – all in a highly competitive market featuring ever-increasing demands for quality, security and value creation. We definitely have a lot to be proud of.
Thus far in 2025, the trend for Bouvet has been stable revenues and continued high profitability, and we successfully maintained this trend in the past quarter. Conditions are now normalising following last year's unprecedentedly strong market demand. We are focusing on operating efficiently and effectively, winning long-term contracts with clients for whom digitalisation is key and, not least, investing purposively in people, community and expertise. Against this backdrop, we can be very proud of the results we have delivered this quarter.
Our employees are central to everything we do at Bouvet throughout the year. Our aim is to be the most credible consultancy partner and to have the most satisfied employees and clients. We are constantly working to build a company which attracts talented individuals, and in which individual employees thrive and receive the professional and personal development they seek. A sense of community is vital in this regard, which is precisely why we organise shared experiences and celebrations for our staff in late summer. This year's events reaffirmed that we have succeeded in building a unique culture at Bouvet.
We are pleased to report a renewed increase in our workforce in the third quarter. Our recruitment and growth strategy is to always align recruitment activities with market demand for capacity and technical expertise. The importance of effective recruitment cannot be overstated. Our approach helps ensure that we can offer our employees assignments for important clients which provide learning and
long-term development opportunities. The result is satisfied employees who feel that they are part of and contributing to a larger community. At this stage, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all my new Bouvet colleagues.
In the third quarter of the year, we signed new agreements with various clients with long-term digitalisation ambitions. Activity levels in the market are generally high, although we are also seeing stronger competition in some areas. In support of their execution of large and complex tasks, clients are increasingly demanding long-term engagement, broad and deep team expertise, capacity and substantial delivery capabilities. We deliver well on these metrics, and our long history of successful projects in most sectors makes us a preferred partner in many contexts. We have clients in both the private and public sectors, and during the quarter we entered into new contracts and framework agreements with clients such as Aker BP, the Viking rescue service, the Norwegian National Courts Administration, Trondheim municipality and Asker municipality.
Artificial intelligence is relevant to all our specialist services. It is already playing a key role in our everyday work, our deliveries and our work processes. We are convinced that AI will create many new opportunities for the company and our clients.
Our work tools are evolving in line with technical advancements. More powerful tools are creating new opportunities, and tasks which we currently perform

manually will be resolved in new ways in the future. Our expertise will be focused even more strongly on the client's business and real value creation. We are confident that we can deploy new technologies to achieve solutions which previously seemed unachievable. Working with clients, we will develop robust applications which serve their societal missions and advance society as a whole.
Technological developments are also impacting the digital threat landscape. As a partner for suppliers of societally critical services, we face increasingly stringent demands. This is why Bouvet puts quality and security at the heart of all its activities. We are delivering on this at all stages, from the onboarding of new employees through all work processes, technical work and knowledge-sharing to deliveries and delivery models. Our objective is to help our clients create the digital services of today and tomorrow while always meeting client quality and security requirements.
As we enter the fourth quarter of the year, we are in the midst of planning for 2026, and recognise that
we have a very good starting point for the future. Satisfied, highly skilled employees and a strong community culture are the foundation on which we will continue to build. We have high activity levels and strong long-term client relationships, we are engaged in extensive digitalisation and development projects on behalf of clients, and we are very well positioned to compete successfully for new clients and assignments. In other words, we can look forward with anticipation and optimism.
Finally, I would like to acknowledge the great contribution made by my Bouvet colleagues to the results we are presenting in this report – thank you all very much!
Per Gunnar Tronsli President and CEO
Bouvet's operating revenues totalled 870.5 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to 878.5 million in the corresponding quarter of last year. This equates to a 0.9 per cent decrease. Fee income from group employees totalled 793.3 million in the quarter, on a par with 792.3 million in Q3 2024. Revenues generated by hired sub-consultants totalled 67.1 million in the quarter, compared to 73.3 million in the third quarter of 2024. Other revenue in the quarter amounted to 10.0 million, down 21.8 per cent compared to Q3 of last year.
Fee income from group employees fell by 5.9 million as the average number of employees shrank by 0.8 per cent year-on-year. The hourly rates charged by the group for time-based services were 2.9 per cent higher than in the third quarter of last year, with a resulting positive impact of 22.9 million on fee income. The billing ratio for all group employees was 2.1 percentage points lower than in Q3 2024, resulting in a negative impact of 21.9 million on fee income. There were 66 working days in Q3 2025, the same number as in Q3 2024. Other effects such as project progress, holidays, sick leave and other leave had a positive cumulative impact of 5.8 million on fee income. All in all, fee income from group employees was 0.9 million higher in the quarter than in the same quarter last year.
Revenue from existing clients developed positively during the quarter. Clients who were also customers in Q3 2024 accounted for 97.1 per cent of operating revenues. In addition, new clients secured after the third quarter of 2024 contributed total operating revenues of 25.2 million in Q3 2025.
Bouvet's strategy is to utilise its own employees in its service deliveries. In the event of capacity shortages, sub-consultants are used as permitted by applicable regulations. In Q3 2025, sub-consultants accounted for 7.7 per cent of total revenue, compared to 8.3 per cent in the third quarter of 2024.
Operating revenues totalled 2,913.9 million in the period January to September 2025, compared to 2 895.4 million in the first nine months of 2024. This represents an increase of 0.6 per cent.
Fee income from group employees in the first three quarters of the year amounted to 2 640.4 million, up 1.5 per cent on the same period last year. The increase in fee income is primarily attributable to a 0.4 per cent rise in the average number of employees and a 3.5 per cent increase in the hourly rates charged by the group for time-based services, although the invoicing rate for all group employees was 1.8 percentage points lower than in the same period last year.


Revenues generated by hired sub-consultants totalled 232.6 million in the period January to September, down 7.2 per cent on the corresponding period last year. Other revenue amounted to 40.9 million in the first nine months of 2025, compared to 42.8 million in the same period in 2024.
Bouvet's total operating costs including depreciation and amortisation came to 778.9 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to 777.6 million in the third quarter of 2024. This represents an increase of 0.2 per cent. Personnel costs rose by 4.8 per cent, to 608.6 million, and were impacted by general wage inflation of 4.2 per cent for the group over the past 12 months. At the same time, the average number of employees fell by 0.8 per cent, and the 5 per cent uplift in employer's national insurance contributions on pay above NOK 850,000, which still applied last year and totalled 3.1 million in Q3 2024, has been repealed. The cost of hired sub-consultants and re-invoiced costs totalled 63.6 million in the third quarter of the year, compared to 71.7 million in the third quarter of last year. Other operating costs were reduced by 14.0 million in total, primarily by reduced spend on social events. A large event for all Bouvet employees was held in the third quarter of 2024. Depreciation and amortisation totalled 24.6 million, compared to 29.4 million in the third quarter of 2024.
Total operating costs including depreciation and amortisation increased by 0.8 per cent year-on-year in the first nine months of 2025, to 2,543.8 million. The cost of hired sub-consultants and re-invoiced costs fell by 5.0 per cent in the first three quarters of the year, to 230.4 million. Personnel costs rose by 3.1 per cent year-on-year, to 2,019.3 million. While personnel costs were boosted by an increase in the average number of employees and general wage inflation, they were reduced by the repeal of the 5 per cent uplift on employer's national insurance contributions, which amounted to 3.7 million in the period January to September 2024. Other operating costs fell by 14.0 million in total. The drop in other operating costs in the first nine months of the year is mainly attributable to reduced expenditure on social events compared to
2024, including particularly last year's celebration for all Bouvet employees. Depreciation and amortisation amounted to 73.8 million, compared to 89.2 million in the first nine months of 2024.
Operating profit (EBIT) totalled 91.6 million in Q3 2025, compared to 101.0 million in the corresponding quarter of last year. The EBIT margin was thus 10.5 per cent, compared to 11.5 per cent in the same period in 2024. The quarterly post-tax profit amounted to 70.1 million, down from 77.9 million in Q3 2024. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter were NOK 0.68, compared to NOK 0.75 in the third quarter of last year.
The cumulative operating profit for the period January to September 2025 totalled 370.1 million, compared to 371.5 million for the corresponding period in 2024. This represents an EBIT margin of 12.7 per cent, compared to 12.8 per cent in the same period last year. The post-tax profit for the first nine months of the year was 286.8 million, compared to 287.0 million in the first three quarters of 2024. Diluted earnings per share for the period January to September amounted to NOK 2.76, compared to NOK 2.77 in the same period last year.
The group's cash flow from operations totalled 12.2 million in the third quarter, compared to cash flow from operations of 135.5 million in the third quarter of 2024. Quarterly cash flow was negatively affected by a 13.0 million increase in current receivables and a NOK 74.6 million reduction in current liabilities compared to Q2 2025. The change in working capital during the quarter is consistent with normal seasonal variations and calendar effects.
The group's cash flow from operations in the first nine months of the year amounted to -16.3 million, compared to cash flow of 300.0 million in the same period in 2024. Q1-Q3 2025 cash flow was negatively impacted by a 289.0 million increase in current receivables and an 88.3 million reduction in current liabilities. The change in working capital in the first nine months of the year is consistent with normal seasonal variations and calendar effects.
The group's cash flow from operations over the past 12 months amounts to 535.1 million, while the pre-tax profit for the same period totals 383.3 million.
The group's cash flow from investment activities during the quarter totalled -0.8 million, comprising 7.0 million spent on purchases of property, plant and equipment, 5.3 million in received interest on bank deposits and 0.9 million linked to the closing of a deposit account under a lease agreement. In Q3 2024, the group's cash flow from investment activities amounted to -0.1 million: 4.0 million spent on property, plant and equipment, 1.6 million invested in intangible assets and 5.4 million in received interest on bank deposits.
Thus far in 2025, total cash flow from investment activities amounts to -2.0 million, consisting of 22.1 million spent on property, plant and equipment, 0.3 million received from sales of property, plant and equipment, 18.9 million in received interest on bank deposits and 0.9 million linked to the closing of a deposit account under a lease agreement. Group cash flow from investment activities in same period in 2024 amounted to -10.8 million, comprising 23.3 million spent on property, plant and equipment, 5.9 million invested in intangible assets, 0.1 million received from sales of property, plant and equipment, and 18.3 million in received interest on bank deposits.
The group's client portfolio consists mainly of large, solvent, listed companies and public-sector organisations. The group did not register any material losses on receivables in the third quarter, and has good control over and insight into its receivables.
The group has no interest-bearing debt, and bank deposits totalled 373.4 million at quarter-end, compared to 386.7 million at the end of Q3 2024. The account for employee tax deductions totalled 60.4 million at the end of the quarter, meaning that available bank deposits amounted to 313.0 million, compared to 327.8 million at the end of the third quarter of 2024. The group had an unutilised overdraft facility totalling 100.0 million at quarter-end.
Bouvet held 1,318,632 treasury shares at the end of the period. Equity totalled 377.5 million at quarter-end, equating to an equity ratio of 23.4 per cent. The corresponding figure for Q3 2024 was 444.1 million, corresponding to an equity ratio of 26.4 per cent.
At a board meeting on 10 November 2025, the board of directors of Bouvet ASA used the authorisation granted to it by the company's general meeting to approve a supplementary dividend of NOK 0.70 per share in respect of the 2024 financial year. The Bouvet share will be traded ex-dividend as of 13 November 2025, and the dividend will be paid out on 24 November 2025.
The group does not report separately on different business areas in internal reports. The group's operations are uniform and concentrated in the Scandinavian market for IT consulting services. Risks and return are monitored for the business as a whole, with reports being prepared for common markets, on a project basis and for individual consultants. Accordingly, the group operates with a single reportable operating segment.

Bouvet experienced high activity levels and strong momentum in a highly competitive market in the third quarter of the year. Activity levels varied somewhat across sectors, assignment types and areas of expertise, but overall there was robust demand from both private- and public-sector clients. The group's primary activity driver is its long-term, close, strategic partnerships with key societal stakeholders. The signature of several new agreements during the quarter further reinforced Bouvet's position. The order inflow covers the full range of the group's services.
The ability of companies to digitalise, innovate and change is crucial in a world characterised by geopolitical uncertainty, an increasingly challenging digital security landscape and rapid technological advancements. Such capabilities not only ensure efficient and secure operations, but also pave the way for long-term value creation and growth. Over time, Bouvet's primary sectors and clients have demonstrated their ability to adapt in line with developments, meaning that they are well-equipped to meet both current and future challenges and uncertainties. In the third quarter, Bouvet secured extended and renewed agreements with clients including Aker BP, Statnett, Asker municipality, Equinor and Innovation Norway.

The oil, gas and renewables industry is an important sector for Bouvet, accounting for 42.1 per cent of total revenue. In the third quarter of the year, sales were on a par with the same period in 2024. Client assignments involve the group's full range of services.
New assignments during the quarter include one for Equinor, in which Bouvet will deliver cross-functional and inter-disciplinary teams to various projects forming part of Equinor's operations and development. The group has stated delivering under a new framework agreement with Aker BP, where Bouvet is the main supplier for digital projects. The framework agreement encompasses complete project deliveries, including all roles from project management and support functions to operational resources.
Other contract extensions and expansions and new assignments were secured from Offshore Norge, the Norwegian Offshore Directorate and Shell Norway.
Bouvet's sales in the power sector accounted for 19.6 per cent of total quarterly revenue. This represents an drop of 5.5 per cent compared to Q3 2024. The power sector is known for both its long-term approach and effective digitalisation and innovation programmes. Sector stakeholders demanded a broad range of Bouvet's services in the third quarter of 2025, in the form of both contract extensions and new assignments.
An example of a new assignment is an agreement signed with Vår Energi. In the assignment, Bouvet will deliver services in areas such as data governance and commercial system architecture. One assignment completed during the quarter was for Enova, and concerned energy reporting. The solution which Bouvet helped develop structures and simplifies the reporting of energy data to Enova and the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate. Enova can use the reported data for policy development and statistics, while the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate can use the data for supervisory purposes.
Other contract extensions and new assignments were secured from Statnett, Svenska kraftnät, the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate, and Glitre Nett.
The public sector is digitalising at a rapid pace, and continued to demand the group's full range of services in the third quarter of 2025. Clients in the public administration and defence sectors accounted for 18.1 per cent of total revenue in the quarter.
Sectoral demand for digitalisation services can be illustrated by a new agreement with the Norwegian Environment Agency. Under the agreement, Bouvet will help modernise the Naturdatabase solution, upgrading it to new technological standards while retaining the best aspects of the current system. Time-consuming and cumbersome manual processes will be identified and streamlined or automated.
Other new and extended contracts include agreements with Asker municipality, the Norwegian Communications Authority (Nkom), Brønnøysund Register Centre, the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research and Trondheim municipality.
Bouvet also registered demand from outside the group's primary sectors in Q3.
One sector in which the group is expanding its engagement is forestry. This is reflected, among other things, in new agreements with Nortømmer and Viken Skog. Bouvet will provide a development team to Nortømmer, while in the case of Viken Skog the group will carry out a proof of concept study concentrating on data platforms, insight and analysis.
Other new and extended agreements outside Bouvet's main sectors include ones with Innovation Norway, Color Line, the Norwegian State Housing Bank and Frøy.
Clients demand for Bouvet's services remained strong in the third quarter of the year. Clients have high expectations related to quality, security and documented impact, and assignments are normally organised as inter-disciplinary team projects. There is growing demand for AI services, and companies are increasingly successful in utilising AI to create real value. Bouvet is using AI both to develop internal expertise and tools and in the execution of assignments for a wide range of clients.
Organisations in various sectors are having to adapt to a rapidly changing world. Such changes include technological advances, shifting framework conditions, security requirements and clients with high expectations as to user experience and quality.
Problem-solving and the development of new services and products therefore require expertise in a wide range of disciplines.
To meet market demand, Bouvet provides a comprehensive range of services spanning from strategy, management and quality to platforms, insights and analysis. This includes services focused on artificial intelligence, data and architecture, modern system development, cloud and platform services, and services directly aimed at optimising the digital workplace. Design services are often an integral component of deliveries, and the group also provides management services which ensure quality, stability and security over time.
The composition of such service offerings is tailored to individual client needs and challenges.
Demand for inter-disciplinary expertise is illustrated by several new, extended and expanded agreements secured during the quarter.
A new framework agreement with an emphasis on inter-disciplinary teams was signed with the Viking rescue service. Bouvet will assist with architecture-building, development and management of the client's system solutions. The framework agreement provides for deployment of Bouvet's full range of services.
A further new agreement is with Coop, under which the group has been selected as one of two partners for Coop's Digital product area. Among other things, Digital is responsible for several Coop customer digital interfaces. The agreement will utilise much of Bouvet's professional breadth, and includes deliverables in the design, product management and system development segments.
Exploring and utilising the latest and most advanced technologies is important for the group's clients. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are among
Back
the technologies which have seen the greatest advances in recent years.
Another new agreement in which AI and machine learning play a central role is one signed with Alva Technologies. Under the agreement, Bouvet will help build and train deep learning models for time-series analyses.
A further example of an assignment involving machine learning is one for the Norwegian Directorate for Higher Education and Skills. In this assignment, Bouvet will contribute its machine learning expertise to facilitate data analysis and data quality assurance, and to help establish analysis panels and reports. The Directorate has overall national responsibility for administrative tasks in the fields of higher education, higher vocational education and skills policy.
Bouvet's clients know that leveraging data can facilitate not only cost optimisations and operational efficiency gains, but also innovation and new opportunities. During the quarter, Returkraft exercised an option under which Bouvet will continue to assist with data platform development.
Another new data platform assignment will be executed for the waste management company BIR. Through refinement, governance and operation of the platform, Bouvet will support BIR's strategic goals, creating business value and a sustainable governance structure.
Bouvet delivered several design and advisory assignments during the quarter. One assignment focused on service design was for Helse Bergen. Bouvet and Helse Bergen have started work on what could be a very exciting and innovative solution aimed at women's health, with a particular focus on PMDD (pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder). The assignment is part of an innovation project run by Helse Bergen.
Geopolitical turmoil and an unstable security and energy situation are creating uncertainty in both the global and Norwegian economies. In addition, the group also faces various types of operational, market and financial risk. The board and management maintain a constant focus on risk management and control. A more detailed account of Bouvet's risk profile can be found on page 14 of the 2024 annual report, as well as in Note 17 to that report and section 10 of the report's 'Corporate governance' section.
At quarter-end , Bouvet had 2 354 employees, up 17 from Q2 2025 and down 35 compared to Q3 2024.
Reflecting strong competition in the market and demand for senior expertise, the group has adjusted its recruitment rate in recent quarters. Recruitment has thus focused primarily on technical expertise in highdemand segments and more experienced candidates. While this remained the case in the third quarter of the year, the group increased its recruitment rate to reflect higher market activity.
In addition, the group usually takes on multiple recent graduates in August. Various professional and social events were arranged during the quarter to give these new employees the best possible start to their working lives and as new members of the Bouvet team.
The high pace of digitalisation among many Bouvet clients has allowed the group to offer its staff interesting and societally beneficial projects which allow employees to use and refine their expertise. Such assignments promote technical development and employee wellbeing.
To ensure that employee skills match client needs, Bouvet invests in individual staff development through internal and external courses and in-house skills-development programmes. However, it is client assignments – and inter-disciplinary teams in particular – which provide the most valuable arena for long-term learning.
These priorities have allowed Bouvet to develop broad-based technical expertise, strong innovation capacity and a culture in which knowledge-sharing and curiosity play a central role.

AI usage and demand are increasing as new opportunities for AI-based value creation continue to emerge. In response, the group is working hard to foster knowledge-sharing both among employees and with clients. One key measure in this regard is Bouvet's in-house training initiative, the AI Academy, which imparts updated and relevant knowledge to employees through tailored courses and training programmes. Bouvet is also developing a dedicated AI tool called Aurora, which has secure access to the group's own data and helps streamline and improve day-to-day employee workflows.
The group's aim is to be the most credible consultancy firm with the most satisfied employees and clients. This requires the ongoing prioritisation of culturebuilding. At the end of the third quarter, the group's various offices celebrated the Bouvet community through a series of joint events, including trips, social gatherings and other unique experiences. All these extraordinary events provided opportunities to forge ties across departments and technical disciplines.
The ability of organisations to innovate, deploy new technologies effectively and reorient quickly has become a competitive advantage, especially at a time of geopolitical uncertainty and an increasingly complex security situation. As a result, Bouvet's clients are communicating higher expectations as to documented value, delivery quality and security at all levels, and there is an increasing need in the market for security and cybersecurity. The result is increasing demand for integrated partnerships, inter-disciplinary teams and flexible delivery models.
Stakeholders in the oil, gas, renewables and power supply sectors recognise that digitalisation is key for securing efficiency gains and innovation. Costeffectiveness and automation are particularly important in this context. Companies also require flexible systems and solutions which can quickly be adapted to new needs, and are focused on developing solutions which leverage standardisation and reuse. Bouvet has built a strong position in these sectors through its long-term client relationships and involvement in societally critical assignments.
The public sector is also focused on efficiency and cost-effectiveness as it navigates its responsibility to manage major societal changes and a constant flow of new regulatory requirements. Digitalisation capacity is vital in this regard. Bouvet's inter-disciplinary approach, experience and public-sector domain knowledge make the group a reliable long-term partner.
An increased focus on emergency preparedness, security and defence is a logical response to a turbulent global environment. Bouvet has a wellestablished presence in the total defence segment, in which it is registering increased demand and new assignments. Its current project portfolio includes assignments focused on the development and management of societally critical solutions and requiring the group's full range of services.
More and more businesses are successfully creating value using artificial intelligence. In collaboration with its clients, Bouvet is leveraging AI for everything from efficiency gains and decision support to innovation. To ensure that it continues to meet client needs, Bouvet is constantly working to improve in-house expertise. Security, ethical use and quality assurance-related challenges are increasing as AI take-up accelerates, and the company is therefore focused on responsible and ethical execution of both internal initiatives and client assignments. As technological developments accelerate, cloud platforms are becoming an increasingly important component of the digital infrastructure landscape.
Systematic investment in skills development and the promotion of a corporate culture which encourages collaboration and knowledge-sharing enhance Bouvet's attractiveness as an employer and help the company attract and retain staff with the expertise requested by an increasingly demanding market. Combined with the group's client portfolio and other market conditions, this leaves Bouvet well-positioned for future recruitment and growth.
