π Operation, sales & outlook ¶

During Q3, the Group continued the ongoing work to streamline the internal work processes and enhance production systems to increase efficiency and reduce unit cost over time. Additionally, the global sales organization is adjusting the sales process to ensure the Group takes full advantage of all cross-selling opportunities that now are apparent between all acquired companies and the existing Arribatec organization. To support and enhance the sales efforts, the Group has hired three new senior sales- and business development resources located in UK and Norway. Additionally, a new position as EVP Business Development has been employed at Group level. The purpose of the changes is to further fuel organic growth, and we expect to see the full effect from these initiatives in early 2022.

Business Services (BizS)

Within BA Business Services, we have seen steady, sustainable growth over the last quarter compared to last year, both in the Nordics and the rest of the world. As Business Services is currently still very reliant on nonrecurring services revenue, we have been subject to the annual drop in turnover during the July and August holiday. In September, we again recorded a strong performance, though. This holiday period effect will gradually be reduced over the next couple of years, as we move further towards recurring revenue through our SaaS and SolaaS offerings, with more than 50% of our revenue expected to be recurring by 2023.

We have established subsidiaries in The Netherlands and France during the third quarter to expand our geographical footprint further. We have won a significant number of contracts in Q3 in close collaboration with our leading ERP software partner Unit4. Additionally, with the acquisition of Integra, we have significantly increased our presence in the UK and globally within Higher Education, one of our key verticals.

The BA has further increased the delivery capacity and optimized the use of existing resources across the different regions. This is achieved by centralizing resource planning/ allocation and investing in short and targeted internal training programs, which have increased chargeable utilization and the overall quality of the delivery.

The main trends the Group have seen during the last quarter are a further increased demand for multi-tenant Cloud solutions and a single point of contact, i.e., one vendor taking responsibility for the complete end-to-end solution. Both these trends play well into the hands of Arribatec's overall strategy of complementing our core ERP offering with value added services/products and effectively delivering these as a single/unified solution (One solution) to our customers.

The outlook for Q4 for BA Business Services is that we expect both an increase in software license/recurring revenue and services deals, as our marketing and lead generation efforts during the summer take effect.

Enterprise Architecture & Business Process Management (EA-BPM)

BA EA-BPM has seen substantial organic growth through the year, with multiple highly skilled staff joining us also in Q3. At the same time, the BA has managed to maintain high utilization of all resources and continues to build and maintain a healthy pipeline of new projects. During the quarter we have moved, delivered and installed QualiWare-based management systems for two major energy companies, in both cases receiving excellent client reviews.

We continue to see increasing demand for EA & BPM solutions & services and expect to continue organic growth through Q4 and 2022. Growth opportunities are seen in Norway as well as abroad, and the BA will increase the efforts to sell and deliver on services across the Arribatec Group.

Our current pipeline gives us confidence that we move into Q4 2021 and further Q1 2022 with high booking on both technical and consulting services.

Cloud (Cloud)

During Q3, the focus has been on getting all new employees up to speed and in production. The BA now has 45 employees, after having transferred the entire development activities to BA Business Services in Q3. New consultants have been hired with the right expertise to deliver modern cloud services. Cloud has succeeded well with this and is positioned well to provide attractive services in this market. BA Cloud experienced all-time high activity in September, with good consistent demand for security and DevOps services. Significant projects have been carried out to integrate Arribatec companies in the same tenant and on the same platform, making interaction across the entire Group.

The outlook in BA Cloud for Q4 is sound. The sales force is pursuing more prominent customer cases for Cloud and Outsourcing services while we experience solid demand for our DevOps consultants. During Q4, BA Cloud will deliver its first Private Cloud ERP solution to a customer outside the Nordic region and continue working with several potential cases to customers in the EU.

Marine (Marine)

BA Marine has seen a significant improvement in the shipping market, and the BA now has seen a doubling of the value of the potential sales pipeline from EUR 4.5m in June to the current EUR 9m at the end of Q3. BA Marine signed a second significant agreement in Q3, relevant to the delivery of its Performance solution to a total of 65 LNG carriers, while it is negotiating several large contracts for the Performance solution. While the overall shipping market is recovering, the cruise market is still 35% lower than in 2019, and the booming container sector has a lot of issues related to logistics, requiring management focus away from digitalization aspects and operational improvements. For BA Marine, this means that the next couple of quarters look brighter than one year ago, however there are still some challenges ahead.

Hospitality (Hspt)

In Q3, BA Hospitality has doubled their sales and has signed their most valuable contract so far. With two new hotel chains on-board, the BA expects to take over the budget segment in Norway within a relative short time. Furthermore, BA Hospitality has recently completed a new integration with Protel, one of the leading property management system (PMS) providers in Europe. Protel has over 14.000 hotels in its customer portfolio. With this integration in place, Protel is ready to start a campaign to promote Arribatec Hospitality's solutions to their customers. The first Protel customer is already live with BA Hospitality's solution, and we see solid demand for our products within Protel's customer base. During Q3, BA Hospitality has landed its first customer outside of Norway, starting with a well-known hotel in the center of Copenhagen.

During Q4, BA Hospitality expects to continue the sales growth and to carry on the delivery of products and services to existing customers in Norway and Denmark. The BA will continue to promote its solution in Dubai & ME and is targeting the first signed contract in this geo area within 2021. Hospitality is actively recruiting for new positions to increase capacity and capabilities to prepare for increasing demand next year.

Non-current intangible assets at the end of the period accounted for NOK 327.0m.
