CEO Letter
It gives me great pleasure to report that the Norva24 team delivered a strong second quarter 2024 with solid currency adjusted organic- and acquisition driven growth, as well as improved margins.
We are the leading consolidator of the underground infrastructure maintenance (UIM) industry in Europe, and it is great to conclude that we have added around NOK 350 million in annual revenues from the three acquisitions signed during the quarter.
In Scandinavia, we saw significant improvements in the second quarter. Norway, Sweden and Denmark achieved solid growth and improved their margins by 2.2, 7.5 and 6.6 percentage points respectively. Germany, on the other hand, had a slow first half of the year, mainly caused by one large entity, where we have already taken corrective measures in early Q3. Combined, this resulted in an improvement in the Adjusted EBITA margin of 2.2 percentage points for the Group compared to the second quarter last year, and a currency adjusted organic growth of 9.2%.
The first half of the year is seasonally the weakest in terms of cash generation. In Q2 we had cash flows from operating activities of NOK 110 million, compared to NOK 133 million last year. The decline is driven by strong growth which resulted in an increased level of net working capital of NOK 71 million, which should reverse in the second half of 2024. In addition, we have initiated measures to reduce working capital in Germany and Denmark to improve the NWC levels to an acceptable level closer to the Group average.
We continue to work relentlessly on operational improvements, and I would like to take the opportunity to reiterate our three strategic initiatives:
Close follow-up of underperforming branches through benchmarking, people management and firm action plans
We see clear positive effects across all the three initiatives, and together with synergies from acquisitions, this will support lifting our margins to the mid-term target of 14-15%.
The markets Norva24 operates in are growing significantly above the general growth of the economy and are a-cyclical. The current economic environment with higher interest rates and higher inflation is only to a limited extent impacting market growth. All our four markets are experiencing continued strong growth, and our financial performance is therefore primarily dependent on operational execution. The differences in performance between our branches are directly linked to how well the branch is managed, where we see that the right manager can significantly improve an underperforming branch with structured work to optimize prices and utilization.
Finally, let me once again mention the massive remaining potential for consolidation we see in the underground infrastructure maintenance (UIM) market. We are the clear consolidation leader in Scandinavia and Germany with more than 50 acquisitions behind us, and I can assure you that our M&A pipeline stays rich. Our strong financial profile and attractive cash conversion combined with a net debt/pro forma LTM EBITDA of 2.2 underpins that we have the muscle to reach our 2025 revenue target of 4.5 bn NOK.
Looking beyond that, the long-term megatrends of this industry remain robust. With our welldeveloped platform, I am highly optimistic about our value creation outlook, and I'm looking forward to reporting on the progress going forward.

The Group's Norwegian operations date back to 1919 in Sandefjord, Norway, when Norva24's oldest subsidiary was established. In 2015, Norva24 was established in its current form through a merger of five smaller Norwegian UIM companies. Since then, Norva24 has expanded and now holds a leading market position in Norway. Norva24 Norway had 558 employees as of June 30, 2024.
Double-digit revenue growth in all Norwegian entities leading to a strong organic growth of 15.3%, partly driven by 3.4% more working days due to timing of Easter. Total EBITA margin improvement of 2.2 percentage points in the quarter, but from a disappointing level last year. Norwegian Competition Authority has notified that it will continue its review of the acquisition of Vitek Miljø AS.

Norva24 entered Germany in 2019 through the acquisition of ExRohr. Norva24 has since grown and established a leading market position in Germany. The Group's oldest subsidiary in the country was established in Gochsheim in 1964. Norva24 Germany had 774 employees as of June 30, 2024.
Germany had a currency adjusted organic growth of 2.5% in the quarter, mainly driven by the number of working days. For the first half of 2024, the currency adjusted organic growth was slightly negative at -0.7%, mainly due to one entity having low activity. The Branch Manager of the underperforming German entity has left the company in early Q3, and a recruitment is in process. The adjusted EBITA-margin of Germany declined by 2.2 percentage points during the first half year vs the same period in 2023. Eliminating the one underperforming unit the German operations had a margin improvement of 0.7 percentage points in the first half year and thus the overall performance of the remaining German operations is strong.

Total operating revenue amounted to NOK 313.7 million during the second quarter, compared with NOK 298.3 million during the same period of 2023, corresponding to growth of 5.2% in total revenue. This growth was attributable to a currency adjusted organic growth at 2.5%, and the acquisition of Baier.
Adjusted EBITA amounted to NOK 35.4 million during the second quarter compared to NOK 39.4 million in the same period of 2023. The adjusted EBITA margin decreased from 13.2% in the preceding year to 11.3% during the quarter. The margin development is affected by low activity in one underperforming unit, with a margin increase of 1.2% if excluding the underperforming unit.

Norva24 entered the Swedish market in 2017 through an acquisition in the south of the country. Since then, Norva24 has grown and secured a leading market position in Sweden. The Group's oldest subsidiary in the country was founded in 1974 in Ulricehamn. Norva24 Sweden had 327 employees as of June 30, 2024.
The segment continues to perform well, with strong currency adjusted organic growth and the impact of acquisitions leading to a growth in total operating revenues of 18.4%. The very strong margin improvement of 7.5 percentage points compared to last year is driven by broad-based improvements in most of the operational entities, combined with the margin accretive acquisition of ControTech. The improvement measures implemented in a large underperforming entity are continuing to take effect, resulting in a strong improvement compared to last year.

Total operating revenue during the quarter amounted to NOK 151.0 million compared with NOK 127.5 million during the same period in 2023, corresponding to an increase of 18.4%. Currency adjusted organic growth maintained at a strong level of 10.4%. The organic growth was driven by higher activity across most branches and local markets, price increases as well as tailwind from more working days in the quarter. ControTech and Högtryckstjänst Syd (acquired May 16) generated acquisition growth of 9.0% in the quarter.
Adjusted EBITA amounted to NOK 25.8 million during the second quarter compared to NOK 12.2 million in the same period of 2023. The adjusted EBITA margin increased from 9.6% in the preceding year to 17.1% during the quarter.

The increase in adjusted EBITA to NOK 117.9 million (82.7), resulted in an increased adjusted EBITA margin of 12.6% (10.4%). The improved adjusted EBITA margin is mainly attributable to a good development in the Scandinavian entities in the quarter compared to last year. There is also an effect from more working days in the quarter, as revenues are linked to number of working days, while operating costs are less dependent of the number of days.
Adjusted EBITA in the first half year amounted to NOK 170.2 million (142.1) and resulted in an increased adjusted EBITA margin of 10.0% (9.5%). The improved adjusted EBITA margin is mainly attributable to a good development in Sweden and Denmark compared to last year. There was 1.0% fewer working days in the first half year of 2024 compared to 2023.
Depreciation of tangible assets for the period amounted to NOK 163.9 million (139.9). The increase was primarily due to acquisitions and additions of purchased and leased vehicles in the period. Amortizations during the period amounted to NOK 22.5 million (21.6).
EBIT amounted to NOK 106.4 million (67.8). The increase in EBIT was attributable to an improved margin in the Group for the period, combined with acquisitions and the sale of waste handling business in Denmark. The non-recurring cost for the period was NOK 0.8 (4.4) million.
EBIT amounted to NOK 144.0 million (113.8). The increase in EBIT was attributable to acquisitions and an improved margin in the Group for the period. The non-recurring cost for the period was NOK 3.7 (6.7) million.
Net financial items amounted to NOK –27.0 million (10.0) and consisted primarily of interest expenses related to bank loans and leasing. Financial expenses were also driven by currency exchange losses in the period, compared to a currency exchange gain for the same period last year. Interest expenses on loans during the second quarter in 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.

Net cash inflow from operating activities over the last 12 months was NOK 530.3 million, covering more than the net cash outflow from investing activities of NOK 417.6 million, comprising of capital expenditures, 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.

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 earnouts 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.
• On April 17, 2024, Norva24 signed an agreement to acquire Vitek Miljø AS. The acquisition of Vitek Miljø AS has been pending review by the Norwegian Competition Authority and it notified that it will continue its review on August 13, 2024. Thus it has not yet approved the acquisition. Comments to Norwegian Competition Authority will be submitted by Norva24.

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.

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 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 2024 are preliminary. Transaction costs are shown as nonrecurring items under Note 3 as they impact comparability. Transaction costs are recognized under other operating expenses in the Statement of profit or loss.
Earnouts 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 earnouts based on estimated likelihood of achieving the given targets and the expected future pay-out. Recognized earnout gains and losses are shown in Note 4.

On May 25, 2023, the General Assembly decided on a long-term incentive plan (LTIP 2023) 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 June 30, 2024, 485,371 shares have been reacquired (treasury shares). Treasury shares are recognized at cost and deducted from equity.
On May 22, 2024, the General Assembly decided on a long-term incentive plan (LTIP 2024). The program has similar terms as LTIP 2023. As per June 30, 2024, the options for this program have not been granted.
Further information on the LTIPs and repurchase program are provided in the published bulletins from the annual general meetings.

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 exceeded NOK 3.6 billion in pro forma revenues, strengthened the network to more than 80 branches, increased the number of employees to more than 1,900 and signed 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.
