Bouvet had operating revenues of NOK 327 million in the first quarter, compared with NOK 300.9 million in the same period of 2014. That represented an increase of 8.7 per cent. Rates for the group's hourly based services rose by 2.7 cent from the first quarter of last year. The billing ratio for the group's consultants declined by one per cent compared with the same period of 2014. Operating revenues from the sale of services from sub-contractors came to NOK 30.2 million, down by NOK 3.1 million from the first quarter of last year. The average number of employees increased by 7.8 per cent from the same period of 2014. Taken together, these developments contributed to an 8.7 per cent rise in operating revenues compared with the first quarter of 2014.
Sales to existing clients made good progress during the quarter. Clients who also used the group in the first quarter of 2014 accounted for 89 per cent of operating revenues. In addition, clients acquired since 31 March 2014 contributed a total of NOK 37.6 million to first-quarter operating revenues.
Bouvet's strategy is to use services from sub-contractors when it lacks the capacity to meet demand with its own personnel or when clients require leading-edge expertise outside the group's priority areas. The sub-contractor share of total revenues was 9.2 per cent in the first quarter, compared with 11.1 per cent in the same period of 2014. The group's long-term target is that this share should be about 15 per cent of total operating revenues.
Bouvet's operating costs, including depreciation and amortisation, were NOK 295 million for the first quarter, up from NOK 273.9 million in the same period of 2014. That represents an increase of 7.7 per cent. Payroll costs increased because the average number of employees rose, in addition to the general growth in pay rates. The group experienced a general rise in pay of 3.2 per cent over the past 12 months. The cost of sales came to NOK 36.3 million, unchanged from the first quarter of 2014, and primarily comprised procurement of sub-contractor services and the hire of course instructors.
Other operating costs rose by 1.7 per cent from the first quarter of 2014 to NOK 27.7 million. This increase of NOK 0.5 million primarily reflected a growth in costs associated with leasing premises.
Operating profit (EBIT) for the first quarter came to NOK 32 million, compared with NOK 27 million in the same period of 2014. That represents an increase of 18.6 per cent. The EBIT margin rose from nine per cent in the first quarter of 2014 to 9.8 per cent. Net profit came to NOK 24.4 million, compared with NOK 19.2 million in the same period of the year before. Diluted earnings per share were NOK 2.32, compared with NOK 1.84 in the first quarter of 2014.
Consolidated cash flow from operations was NOK 0.3 million in the first quarter, compared with a negative NOK 13.3 million in the same period of 2014. Cash flow in the quarter was affected negatively by an increase of NOK 38.4 million in working capital from the fourth quarter of 2014, related to client receivables, work in progress and other current receivables. Furthermore, cash flow was affected positively by an increase of NOK 10 million in current liabilities. Consolidated cash flow from operations over the past 12 months came to NOK 62.3 million, while net profit over the same period was NOK 62.2 million.
The group's client portfolio consists mainly of large, solid listed companies and public enterprises. No bad debts were suffered in the first quarter, and the group has good oversight and control of its receivables.
Bouvet has no interest-bearing debt. Bank deposits at 31 March totalled NOK 115.8 million, compared with NOK 144.8 million a year earlier. The group had an undrawn overdraft facility of NOK 50 million at 31 March. It held 19 688 of its own shares at 31 March. Equity at 31 March totalled NOK 179.5 million, representing an equity ratio of 37.2 per cent. The corresponding figures for 31 March 2014 were an equity of NOK 180.5 million and an equity ratio of 38.7 per cent.
NOK MILLION
Adjusted for the proposed dividend totalling NOK 51.3 million, which will be paid in the second quarter of 2015, the equity ratio was 29.7 per cent at 31 March. Bouvet's long-term target is to maintain an equity ratio in excess of 30 per cent.
The group does not report internally by business areas or segments in an accounting sense. Its business is homogenous and pursued within the Nordic market for IT consultancy services. Risk and return are followed up at departmental level within homogenous consultancy departments with shared markets, on a project basis and per consultant. This does not provide a basis for segment reporting, which is accordingly not presented. Should changes be made to the group's business, the possibility that these changes might provide a basis for segment reporting will be assessed.
Demand for Bouvet's services is good and stable in Norway, and growing somewhat in Sweden.
Bouvet's turnover is highest in the oil and gas sector, where the company has tailored its range of services and increasingly delivers to the core processes of its clients. That means the decline in sales to clients in this industry has flattened out.
Clients are tending to take a more coherent approach to digitising their business – digital solutions have become important for business development in all sectors, an overall cross-channel view is being taken about the enterprise's communication and interaction with target groups, web and mobile solutions are being integrated with underlying systems, and security and infrastructure have become a strategic issue for many clients.
The level of activity in Bouvet is high, and the company has delivered solutions every single week during the quarter which create positive spin-offs for clients, individuals and society. Examples from the first quarter include the following.
• The Fiskinfo solution was launched by the minister of industry, trade and fisheries in February to provide fishermen with information directly from the authorities to their digital charts, which makes it easier to plan and execute fishing.
ARENDAL SANDEFJORD KRISTIANSAND SKIEN Goof growth and profitability were achieved by the eastern region during the quarter. Expertise in business development, combined with in-depth technological understanding and knowledge of digital customer experi-
ÖREBRO ences, means that Bouvet wins many contracts. A case in point is Vinmonopolet (the Norwegian Wine and Spirit Monopoly), where Bouvet has secured the job of designing and developing its new platform for e-commerce across all channels. Vinmonopolet is already a major Bouvet client for business systems.
MALMÖ Two large assignments related to administration and further development of public-sector administrative systems have been secured by Bouvet's eastern region. These relate to a change of screen technology for the systems used by the State Agency for the Recovery of Fines, Damages and Costs, and management and further development of the City of Oslo's social care system. Other long-standing clients who have shown renewed confidence in Bouvet are the Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training, the armed forces, Color Line, Avinor, Sporveien, the Norwegian State Housing Bank and Statnett.
Elhub is intended to become the central data hub for metering information and market processes in the Norwegian power market. Consultants from Bouvet have been allocated a number of roles on the client side of this project. The company is also supporting Hafslund's preparations for a new intelligent meter reading system.
Bouvet is supporting the Coop with both e-commerce and interactive solutions, and this client expanded these assignments during the quarter.
The police intend to develop a new intranet to improve internal information flow. Bouvet won the competitive tender for this job during the first quarter. The contract was signed after 31 March.
Frame agreements are important for Bouvet, and it secured a deal of this kind during the quarter from Ruter covering strategy and management, ICT projects, testing and test management, and ICT operation and administration. The agreement runs for two years with options for two one-year extensions.
In addition, Bouvet has won new assignments for advice, infrastructure, security, social media, development of digital content, mobile solutions, customer journeys and advertising.
Bouvet is winning an increased share of a market in Rogaland characterised by tougher competition and pressure on prices. In the oil and gas sector, it is now working a lot with core business
processes and solutions. This represents an area where clients prefer Bouvet's knowledge of the industry. In addition, activity in the public sector, health care and energy industry is growing for the Rogaland region.
The company has long delivered good solutions for life cycle information (LCI) and management systems. During the quarter, Statoil awarded Bouvet an enterprise contract within an adjacent area. This assignment relates to the oil company's 3D global workshare solution, and means that Bouvet will maintain the global 3D portal for the client's land-based and offshore installations. One of its main jobs is to serve as the global administrator for Statoil's plant design management system, a 3D computer-aided design (CAD) tool developed by Aveva. These are services normally delivered by engineering companies.
Bouvet's commitment to ready-to-use integration concepts based on Microsoft BizTalk proved a big success during the quarter. A number of new contracts covering the combination of planning, developing, implementing and administering this type of solution were secured. New clients in this area are Det Norske Oljeselskap, Eidsiva and the Norwegian National Rail Administration.
The same progress was experienced in the business intelligence area, where Bouvet delivers for most platforms. New, efficient tools combined with cloud services creates new opportunities in this area. Bouvet is involved, in a good partnership with Microsoft, in projects with Lyse, the City of Stavanger, the Western Norway Regional Health Authority and the University of Stavanger. HAUGESUND STAVANGER FORUS BERGEN

STOCKHOLM MALMÖ Barentswatch/the Norwegian Coastal Administration is among the largest clients the region. During the quarter, it
commissioned further administration of the systems developed by Bouvet.
Turnover for the company in the health sector is growing both nationally and in the northern region. A frame agreement for system development was secured during the quarter from the Norwegian Health Network.
The Norwegian Patient Registry also awarded a project management assignment. SANDVIKA
Bouvet's involvement with Det Norske Oljeselskap was expanded during the quarter. Statoil also extended a number of assignments.
Service design is an expertise in growing demand, and Bouvet secured an assignment to design customer journeys for the City of Trondheim's urban development department. This involves mapping and design of analogue and digital contact points between users and the enterprise. TRONDHEIM
The Norwegian Environment Agency, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and the Brønnøysund Register Centre are other clients who showed renewed confidence in Bouvet during the quarter.
Bouvet has a high level of activity in Bergen, with good demand for its services. The City of Bergen is one of the largest clients in the region, and placed an order during the quarter to extend the contract for the company's team.
ARENDAL SANDEFJORD KRISTIANSAND SKIEN Statoil purchases services within a number of disciplines in the region, including design of work processes and administration of the company's management system. During the quarter, this client also commissioned further development of the solution which conveys environmental data from the seabed off Vesterålen.
ÖREBRO Information security has been an important service area for Bouvet in Bergen over a number of years, and TV2 has now commissioned courses in this area for many of its employees. A number of assignments have also been won to conduct security audits for clients in the banking/finance sector. BERGEN
The southern region is characterised by stable long-term client relations. Certain clients in the supplies industry are more hesitant than before.
Implementation of interactive solutions
is the one of the services Bouvet delivers in the region. Both Elopak and Hesnes Shipping awarded assignments in this area during the quarter.
ÖREBRO STOCKHOLM MALMÖ The Archive Foundation in Kristiansand is to document the history of 40 000 Norwegian seafarers in wartime. Bouvet has been commissioned to develop a network solution which makes this information easily available.
Flowtite Technology, MHWirth, Telenor and the Directorate for Civil Protection and Emergency Planning are other important clients in the region, where the level of activity is good. ARENDAL SANDEFJORD KRISTIANSAND SKIEN
The level of Bouvet's activity in Sweden is growing. Major frame agreements were won by the company in 2014 from the Swedish Legal, Financial and Administrative Services Agency. The latter has divided the country into five
regions, with frame agreements being awarded in each region for use by all public-sector operations in that region. Bouvet has now won and signed frame agreements for four of the five regions, and deliveries under these are now in progress. The company has also been nominated as a winner in the last region, which includes Stockholm. Substantial call-offs of services are expected under these agreements, which is likely to contribute to growth for Bouvet in Sweden.
Web solutions and digital communication are among the priority areas in Sweden. During the quarter, the company won a frame agreement to serve as the web agency for the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority.
Bouvet has a solid customer base in Sweden. New assignments were awarded during the quarter by such clients as Ikano Bank, SAS, ICA, Aberdeen Asset Management and Atlas Copco.
Sesam is a business unit in Bouvet which develops and sells an integration platform of the same name. This permits data to be acquired easily from different systems, integrated and distributed to other systems. Sesam also supports cross-system data analysis and searching.
Integration with archival solutions is one of the areas where Sesam has demonstrated major benefits. Great interest is being shown in the platform in the market for this utilisation, and Bouvet sees many opportunities.
Statnett has expanded its subscription to Sesam. Four more of the company's systems will utilise the platform for integration and cross-system searches. The Norwegian Conservative Party is a new Sesam client, and has quickly adopted the platform to exchange data between its web portal, membership system and authentication solutions.
Bouvet's ambition is to be the consultancy with the most satisfied employees. Satisfied staff mean good deliveries, satisfied clients and lower personnel turnover. In connection with its employee survey, Bouvet participated in the Great Place to Work's assessment of the best workplaces in Norway.
The group is exposed at any time to various forms of operational, market and financial risk. The board and executive management work continuously on risk management and control. This is described in more detail under
Published this March, the results placed the company among the top 10 Norwegian places to work in its class.
The company had 1 000 personnel at 31 March, a decline of eight from 31 December and 68 from the same date in 2014.
corporate governance in the annual report for 2014 (section 10: risk management and internal control). In the board's view, no significant changes occurred over the past three months in the various risks to which the group is exposed.
Digital solutions have generated major social changes. These will continue in coming years as new technology and applications become available. Bouvet contributes to this development by creating a simpler everyday life for people and bigger gains from digitisation for enterprises.
Uncertainty prevails in some sectors where Bouvet operates about the scale of investment related to the company's range of services. However, Bouvet has previously displayed great adaptability. Conditions are accordingly favourable for the company to continue its profitable growth in the longer term.

The Group has offices in Oslo, Trondheim, Bergen, Haugesund, Stavanger, Kristiansand, Arendal, Skien, Sandvika, Sandefjord, Malmö, Örebro and Stockholm. Our philosophy is that competence should be utilized across the company, while projects are attached locally. This means that our customers will have a local account manager and project manager, but access to competence independent of its location.
