2024 Q4 INTERIM REPORT

CEO comments │A strong quarter reflecting the overall performance of the year

The final quarter of 2024 reflected the full year's performance, with revenues up 15% y-o-y and annual revenues up 13% compared to 2023.

While most of our operations made steady contributions, the debt capital markets segment was the primary driver of this improvement. Sentiment for high-yield bond issuance reached an all-time high, fueled by strong investor appetite and capital inflows into credit funds. The dynamics of the Nordic bond market are unique globally, attracting a range of local and international issuers to raise debt capital in the Nordics. ABGSC's broad access to investors has enabled us to capture a fair share of this market, helping to raise the equivalent of more than NOK 55bn for our clients during the year.

Apart from a few relatively large transactions, the Nordic market for raising equity remained modest in 2024. Although a few companies listed their shares on the Nordic exchanges, the number of IPOs and the amount of money raised remained at historically low levels. During Q4, we began to see signs of improvement, advising on 2 out of 2 main market IPOs completed in the Nordics. Especially in Sweden, we have recently seen a growing pipeline from new companies looking to go public, and we are hopeful for a gradual return to more normal activity levels in this important segment for ABGSC.

M&A activity was decent during the quarter and throughout the year. In this regard, I would like to highlight ABGSC's strong position in public-toprivate transactions, where we secured the #1 ranking in both deal count and total transaction value. In addition, our brokerage and research businesses continued to contribute consistently throughout the year, providing an anchor of stability to the business.

While there are some cyclical elements to our industry, as well as notable fluctuations at the product and client sector level, our broad sector coverage and balanced full-service approach contribute to lower revenue and earnings volatility. Our ability to provide best-in-class advice and execution across all major product groups always makes us a relevant partner for our clients.

As we look ahead to 2025, we will be looking to further improve our market share, and we are excited about broadening our service offering through the upcoming launch of our Private Banking operation. We have great ambitions in this area and look forward to welcoming our first clients to explore the potential of this new offering.

Jonas Ström, CEO

Operating costs | Main cost drivers include compensation costs based on profitability-driven compensation model, weakening of NOK and inflation

  • Approx- NOK 50m in initial costs related to new business initiatives are included in operating expenses for 2024 (2023: NOK 25m)
  • Non-compensation costs primarily up due to general cost inflation, the main cost drivers are telecom, data and information systems

The Board is committed to returning excess capital to shareholders through cash and buy-backs of shares over time. Excess capital will be evaluated on a continuous basis, taking into consideration a number of factors, including market conditions, regulatory requirements, counterparty and market perceptions and the nature of our business.

Closing remarks

  • Core operational EPS (before new business initiatives) improved from NOK 0.47 to NOK 0.62 for the full year
  • Broad contribution across all business areas, with DCM as the primary growth driver, both in the quarter and for the full year

Notes to the financial statements

1) Accounting principles

The quarterly report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and all interpretations from the Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), which have been endorsed by the European Commission for adoption within the EU. The quarterly report is prepared using the same principles as those used for the 2023 annual report. The quarterly report is unaudited.

2) Judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS and the application of the chosen accounting policies require management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a continuous basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. When preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimate uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as of the period ending 31 December 2023.

3) Risk and uncertainty

As described in ABGSC's annual report, ABGSC's total risk exposure is analysed and evaluated at the group level. Risk evaluations are integrated in all business activities both at the group and business unit levels, increasing ABGSC's ability to take advantage of business opportunities. There has not been any significant change in the risk exposure or the risks and uncertainties described in the annual report.

4) Related parties

There have not been any changes or transactions with any related parties that significantly impact the Group's financial position or results for the period.

5) Segment information

The group segments its business primarily on a product level as this provides the best understanding of the Group's integrated operation. The Group does not allocate profits or split the balance sheet per product. Revenues are also split at an overall geographical level. Segment information is presented on other pages of this report, including on the historical quarterly summary pages.

As part of the partner share incentive programme, several partners in the firm have entered into forward contracts for the future delivery of shares. Under the programme, new and certain existing partners are given the opportunity to acquire restricted partner shares at market price, with a 15% price adjustment reflecting several restrictions with regards to the selling (or purchasing) of these shares.

The forward settlement price is adjusted for changes in interest rates and any cash distribution paid to shareholders. The interest element in the forward contract will also be adjusted in cases where the contract is settled prior to the original expiry date.
