CEO comment:
Q2 proved to be yet another massive quarter, as our top line doubled relative to
the decent Q2 last year. With revenues exceeding NOK 1.5bn at the half-year mark
and NOK 2.8bn over the last four quarters, I also find it highly rewarding that
the income base has broadened significantly in recent quarters, with increased
activity in all markets and within all product segments. We have a strategic
goal of growing our Nordic revenue base and are very happy to see that we have
already exceeded the previous full-year revenue records for both our Danish and
Swedish operations.
Over the last 12 months we have completed more than 170 investment banking
transactions and raised more than NOK 150bn of debt and equity for our corporate
clients. This is a new record for ABGSC and is driven by a combination of strong
market fundamentals and ABGSC capturing a larger portion of the total available
market. Also, our brokerage and research operations have continued their
positive trend established over the past year.
An important reason for our success is our strong cross-selling initiatives
within our comprehensive product portfolio, enabling a truly holistic view of
our corporate clients and their needs and contributing to strengthened long-term
business relationships. In recent years, we have more than doubled our corporate
client base buying one or more of our services. We are also highly grateful to
the vast number of our recurring clients, providing testimony to our ability to
add value and provide quality advice over time and through different phases.
This is also evidence that our broad pan-Nordic capital market offering is
highly appreciated and that we have built a stronger and less cyclical business
model.
