CEO Letter
Norva24 has continued to progress along our strategic path during the first months of 2024.
I am particularly happy to conclude that the last six acquisitions have added more than NOK 430 million of annual revenues, including Vitek Miljø and Nordic Powergroup that we announced in Q2. The acquired companies are of high quality, and have in aggregate an adjusted EBITA margin higher than the mid-term margin target of Norva24.
Our most recent acquisitions strengthen our market positions in Germany, Norway and Denmark. The Baier transaction is a step towards building more density in the southern parts of Germany, while the acquisitions of Vitek Miljø and Klungtveit broaden our geographical reach and customer offering in the western part of Norway. Högtryckstjänst Syd will strengthen our position in the southern part of Sweden. Nordic Powergroup and Kyrsting bolster our number one position within underground infrastructure maintenance in the Danish market.
Reflecting on the operations in the first quarter of 2024, the cold winter and reduced number of working days impacted our results. The number of working days was 5% lower in Q1 2024 compared to Q1 2023, hence the currency adjusted organic growth was 1.6%. Eliminating calendar effects by looking at the first four months of the year, our currency adjusted organic growth was 7.1%. The reduced number of working days has a significant impact on profitability in Q1, but for the first four months of the year we see an improved margin compared to last year.
We continue to take a targeted and systematic approach to operational improvement, with three strategic initiatives:
We are confident that the structured work within each of the three strategic initiatives, combined with synergies from acquisitions, will support lifting our margins to the mid-term target of 14-15%.
Wrapping up, I'd like to reiterate the massive remaining potential for consolidation of the underground infrastructure maintenance (UIM) market. With more than 50 acquisitions behind us, Norva24 is the clear leader of this consolidation in Scandinavia and Germany. We will not stop there, and our pipeline of potential acquisition targets is rich. Our ambitious M&A agenda is underpinned by a strong financial profile, with a leverage rate (NIBD/adj EBITDA LTM) of 2.2 times, meaning that we are well equipped to keep up the pace of acquisition growth going forward to reach our 2025 revenue target of 4.5 bn NOK.
Combined with the strong megatrends driving our industry, this makes me highly optimistic about our value creation outlook, and I'm looking forward to reporting on the progress going forward.

Total operating revenue amounted to NOK 769.9 million (704.6), an increase of 9.3%. Currency adjusted organic growth was 1.6%. The low growth is mainly caused by calendar effects, with around 5% fewer working days in Q1 2024 compared to Q1 2023. Q1 is normally a seasonally weak quarter. Winter weather has been comparable to last year except for some cold and snowy weeks in January reducing efficiency. Acquisition growth was 4.7% in the quarter, driven by acquisitions in all markets.

| Acquisition growth | 4.7 | 19.8 | 14.1 |
Total operating expenses amounted to NOK 641.4 million (580.0). The increase was driven by a higher cost base due to acquisitions in all four geographies.
The decrease in adjusted EBITA to NOK 52.3 million (59.4), resulted in a lower adjusted EBITA margin of 6.8% (8.4%). The lower adjusted EBITA margin is mainly attributable to fewer working days in the quarter compared to last year, as revenues are linked to number of working days, while operating cost are less linked to the number of days.
Depreciation of tangible assets for the period amounted to NOK 79.2 million (67.5). The increase was primarily due to additions of purchased and leased vehicles during the period. Amortizations during the period amounted to NOK 11.8 million (11.0).
EBIT amounted to NOK 37.5 million (46.0). The decrease in EBIT was mainly attributable to fewer working days due to fewer working days compared to last year. The non-recurring cost for Q1 was NOK 2.9 (2.4) million.
Net financial items amounted to NOK –0.5 million (–1.3) and consisted primarily of currency exchange gains as well as increased interest expenses on loans and lease liabilities. Interest expenses on loans in Q1 2024 were higher compared to 2023 due to increased debt and interest rates. Lease liabilities increased primarily due to additions of leased vehicles and increased interest rates.
Profit before income tax was NOK 37.0 million (44.8). Profit for the period was NOK 21.3 million (32.6). Basic and diluted earnings per share amounted to NOK 0.12 (0.16).
The net cash flow from operating activities varies across the year depending on the weather and vacation periods, with a significantly stronger cash flow in the second half. Net cash flow from operating activities for the quarter amounted to NOK 44.2 million (45.1).
Net cash inflow from operating activities over the last 12 months combined of NOK 553.0 million and have been covering almost two times the net cash outflow from investing activities of NOK 278.8 million, comprising of acquisitions and earnouts. This shows the strength of Norva24's buy and build strategy and is further proof that we have the capacity to meet the mid-term targets.
Cash flow from investing activities in the quarter was NOK –71.2 million (–125.3), of which acquisitions of subsidiaries amounted to NOK –61.2 million (–79.7). Cash flow from financing activities in the quarter amounted to NOK –62.3 million (11.7), mainly attributable to repayments of leasing and loans. Cash conversion was 33.6% during the quarter, compared with 35.6% for the same period last year. The first half year is normally the seasonally weakest period in terms of cash generation.
Norva24's net debt amounted to NOK 1,404.1 million (1,302.9), corresponding to a Net debt/LTM adjusted EBITDA of 2.2 (2.4). The increased net debt is attributable to the acquisitions in the period. The Group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to NOK 182.2 million (147.7).
Of the NOK 1,100 million credit facility NOK 632.3 million was utilized at the end of Q1.
At the end of the period, total equity amounted to NOK 2,132.2 million (1,853.9). The equity/assets ratio was 49.7 (47.2).
Leases are capitalized according to IFRS 16. Lease liabilities amounted to NOK 906.4 as of March 31, 2024. NOK 292.2 million of the lease liabilities are related to properties and building and 614.2 are related to vehicles and other assets. Leasing payments for the next 12 months as of March 31, 2024, amount to NOK 236.4 million.
Depreciation of the leased assets is included in the total depreciation in the statement of income. Net interest-bearing debt amounted to NOK 1,404.1 as per March 31, 2024. Net debt excluding lease liabilities amounted to NOK 497.7 million as per March 31, 2024.

On March 31, 2024, the total number of employees was 1,789 (1,621).
The Group has a certain amount of seasonal variation, and the first quarter has historically been the weakest, due to colder weather and timing of vacation periods. The fourth quarter can also be affected by winter weather in certain years. Over the short term, seasonal variations are expected to remain in line with prior variations, but this may change somewhat over the long term as the Group grows in other parts of Europe where the winter season has less of an impact.
Currency risks, interest risks, credit risks, liquidity risks and operational risks are the most significant risks for the Group. These risks are managed continually in the operations.
Group management monitors financial risk in accordance with the description of financial risk management in Note 21 of the 2023 Annual Report. The review in conjunction with the full year 2023 found no material changes or negative effects compared with the analysis on December 31, 2023.
When an acquisition is completed, purchase considerations, assets and liabilities are recognized at estimated fair value and amounts exceeding the value of net assets are included in goodwill. In Norva24's operation, the fair values of individual assets and liabilities are normally not readily observable in active markets. Estimation of fair values requires the use of valuation models for acquired assets and liabilities as well as ownership interests. Such valuations are subject to numerous assumptions and are thus uncertain.
The fair value of brands and customer relationships on the acquisition date is based on a value-in-use model and an allocated percentage of the consideration paid less the net assets acquired. Estimates of the useful
life of acquired brands are based on management's market knowledge and marketing plans. Recognized earn-outs are based on the probability that an acquired company will achieve its financial goals.
A stable underlying need for Norva24's services is expected to persist in the markets in Northern Europe despite the uncertain geopolitical situation. Norva24 has no exposure to Ukraine or Russia. Underlying driving forces such as low renewal levels in the water and sewage systems are expected to generate demand for Norva24's services.

Norva 24 Group AB (publ) and its subsidiaries (the Group or Norva24 Group) operate in the underground infrastructure industry, and are present in Norway, Germany, Sweden and Denmark.
Norva24 Group applies the IFRS® Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU (IFRS). The consolidated accounts in the interim report have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable regulations in the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
The Parent Company accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The interim report should be read together with the historical financial information included in the annual report. Accounting principles and calculation basis are in accordance with those that were applied in the most recent annual report. Information required by IAS 34 also appears in other parts of the interim report.
The amounts are rounded to the nearest million (NOK million) with one decimal place unless otherwise stated. As a consequence of rounding, figures presented in the financial reports may not add up to the exact total in certain cases and percentage figures presented can differ from the exact percentage figures. Amounts in brackets concern the comparative period.
In preparing the interim financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, equity and liabilities, revenue and expenses.
The estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the given circumstances. A change in accounting estimate is recognized in the period in which the estimate is reassessed if the change affects that period only, or in both current and future periods if the change affects both.
In preparing the consolidated interim financial statements, significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and key sources of uncertainty in the estimates are consistent with those applied for the annual report.
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Norva24 Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Norwegian Kroner (NOK) which is Norva24 Group's
presentation currency. The Parent Company Norva24 Group AB (publ)'s functional currency is Swedish Kroner (SEK).
There have been no related party transactions other than the continuation of agreements described in the annual report and the events and transactions related to share-based payments described in note 9.
Norva24 Group identifies its operating segments and discloses segment information in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments. Accordingly, the Group identifies its segments consistent with the reporting structure used by management.

The column "Corporate & other" includes corporate expenses and eliminations.

The operations of the acquired entities are similar to the Group's existing operations and will strengthen the Group's position in the existing segments. The Group considers the business combinations to be individually immaterial and therefore the acquisitions are shown in the aggregate. Goodwill consists of synergies from cost savings and the increase in market share. The acquired businesses also include the assembled workforce. These items are not identifiable assets, and are subsumed into goodwill. Goodwill will not be deductible for tax purposes. All purchase price allocations in 2023 are preliminary. Transaction costs are shown as non-recurring items under Note 3 as they impact comparability. Transaction costs are recognized under Other operating expenses in the Statement of profit or loss.
Earn-outs are conditional on the acquired entity reaching certain future financial targets such as revenue, EBITDA and EBITA. The Group recognizes provisions for fair value of earn-outs based on estimated likelihood of achieving the given targets and the expected future pay-out. Recognized earn-out gains and losses are shown in Note 4.

On May 25, 2023 the General Assembly decided on a long-term incentive plan (LTIP) for members of management and key personnel, where a total amount of 2,283,534 options have been granted. The options are subject to a three-year vesting period and the Group has no present obligation to settle the awards in cash. As such the Group's costs related to the LTIP are recognized as equity-settled. The fair value of the options has been estimated using a Black & Scholes model.
Related to the LTIP, the Annual General Meeting authorized the Board of Directors to initiate a repurchase program of own shares. As of March 31, 2024, 307,571 shares have been reacquired (treasury shares). Treasury shares are recognized at cost and deducted from equity.
Further information on the LTIP and repurchase program is provided in the published bulletin from the annual general meeting.

Although the oldest local branch of Norva24 was founded in 1919 in Norway as a family business offering UIM services with horses and carriages, Norva24 in its current form was created in 2015 through a merger of five local UIM companies in Norway, to bring a disruptive business model to and professionalize the UIM services industry. In connection with the establishment of Norva24, Valedo Partners Fund II AB invested in the Group.
Norva24 is one of the leading players in the UIM industry in Europe with strong market presence within all its Northern European markets, Norway, Germany, Sweden and Denmark.
Norva24 has through its latest acquisitions close to NOK 3.7 billion in proforma revenues, strengthened the network to more than 80 branches, increased the number of employees to more than 1,900 and completed Norva24's 52nd acquisition.

Norva24 operates in many different parts of the Underground Infrastructure Maintenance serving several different types of customers. UIM services are mission critical and essential for society.
Our long-term vision is to build a European market leader and lighthouse in Underground Infrastructure Maintenance (UIM). Norva24's vision is to become the leading European operator in our industry and an inspiration to the UIM industry development in Europe.
Let these values be guiding for our business:


Target to achieve an adjusted EBITA margin of 14- 15% in medium term.
Norva24's capital structure shall enable a high degree of financial flexibility and allow for acquisitions. Target steady state net debt ratio (including IFRS16 lease liabilities) should normally not exceed 2.5x adjusted EBITDA, other than temporarily as a result of M&A. Temporarily is defined as maximum four calendar quarter sequentially.
As part of Norva24's vision and strategy, the Group intends to reinvest cash flows into growth and expansion initiatives, including acquisitions, and as such does not expect to pay annual dividends to its shareholders in medium term.
Target to achieve revenue of around NOK 4.5bn by 2025 while achieving an average organic growth per annum of at least in line with market growth.
