Highlights

Q4 2024 total revenue: 116 MNOK vs. 109 MNOK in Q4 2023

Recurring revenue grew 6% to 86 MNOK, accounting for 75% of total sales in the quarter

Adjusted EBITDA (excl. one-offs) at 14%; reported EBITDA at 5%

Net working capital improved to a record -31% in the quarter, which contributed to a comfortable liquidity situation

Acquisition of Predicare was completed, followed by the announcements of Aweria and Dermicus

Introduction

The fourth quarter of 2024 marked a turning point, as the completion of the final phase of decentralisation secured a lower cost base heading into 2025. Q4 2024 includes high personnel costs and one-off expenses related to this and adjusted EBITDA of 14% and reported EBITDA of 5% reflect these factors.

In the December 2024 business update, the company guided towards an EBITDA margin of approximately 20% in the first half and 30% in the second half of 2025. Runrate analysis shows that the margin improvement develops in line with this guidance.

Quarterly and annual revenue have reached record highs and demand is increasing for the refinement of integrated specialist and emergency solutions, reinforcing Omda's long term income predictability.

Early in 2024 weak professional service sales prompted the launch of initiatives to boost service revenue and billing rates. These initiatives have translated into increased service revenue, leading to the highest volume of billable hours recorded to date.

Cash position is improved as the net working capital metric is at its strongest ever this quarter.

During Q4 2024, the acquisition of Predicare was completed, followed by the announcements of Aweria and Dermicus. These three acquisitions further strengthen Omda's expertise in medical decision support and artificial intelligence - capabilities that are increasingly in demand among customers.

The combination of a comfortable cash position and a strengthening profitability trajectory, positions Omda well as it enters 2025.

"The restructuring in 2024 has established a strong run-rate, providing confidence for a prosperous 2025."

Financial Review

These condensed interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with Norwegian Accounting Standard 11 Interim Financial Statements (NRS 11 Delårsregnskap). These condensed interim financial statements are unaudited and do not include all the information and disclosures required by the Norwegian Accounting Act and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in Norway (NGAAP) for a complete set of financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023. A description of the significant accounting policies applied in preparing these condensed interim financial statements is included in Omda's Consolidated annual financial statements of 2023, available at omda. com/omda-investors.

RESULTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER 2024

Omda displayed 6% growth in reported income, measured in NOK, for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to Q4-23. Reported EBITDA came in at NOK 5.4 million (20.5). The reported EBITDA-margin was 5% in Q4-24 (19%).

There are material restructuring and non-recurring costs booked in the quarter, amounting to NOK 11 million (0) (see APM note on page 17 for details). Adjusted for these items, adjusted EBITDA ends at 14%, with a corresponding adjusted 2024FY EBITDA of 15% (15%).

M&A

Omda announced three acquisitions in the quarter: two within Emergency (Predicare and Aweria) and one within Connected Imaging (Dermicus). All acquisitions required FDI-approval from Swedish authorities. Predicare received approval and was closed in December 2024, while the two others received approval in Q1-25. Notwithstanding the high M&A activity in the quarter, Omda continued to grow the prospect list. We maintain dialogues with potential new acquisition candidates.

PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT

Revenue

Total income in the fourth quarter of 2024 amounted to NOK 115.7 million (109.2).

Recurring revenue comprises 75% of total sales and grew 6% compared to reported Q4-23 numbers.

Recurring revenues continue to grow in accordance with expectations, while sale of new licenses, which by nature vary from quarter to quarter, was somewhat below the same quarter last year, but still 27% above YTD-2023. Professional Services reached a

record high level this quarter, ending at NOK 23.9 million (21.9). Hardware sales came in considerably above the same quarter last year, ending at NOK 2.3 million (0.9). Hardware sales relate primarily to the Emergency business area.

Operating costs

Operating costs accumulated to NOK 110.2 million in the fourth quarter (88.7).

As a consequence of the abovementioned increase in hardware sales, COGS increased somewhat from Q4-23, ending at NOK 9.1 million (7.2). Gross margin remains well above 90% reaching 92% this quarter (93%). We aim to further reduce COGS going forward.

Personnel costs amounted to NOK 75.5 million in the fourth quarter (65.6). Q4-24 is a transitional quarter, and all staff released from their duties (and severance accrued for) in the quarter are accounted for the entire quarter. In addition, there is a non-recurring item of 1 MNOK, temporary staff used for delivery on a particular contract, and other external consultants are higher than what we anticipate through 2024. Finally, Capex is 2 MNOK lower compared with Q4-23.

At the end of the quarter, Omda employed 268 FTEs compared to 283 at the end of Q4-23. This number includes all employees from the recently acquired Predicare business in Sweden and Norway. The remaining personnel in the Philippines are now treated as external consultants but still included in the FTE number quoted above. As previously stated, the use of external consultants from our former Cebu-office will remain until the second quarter 2025. We foresee a further reduction in total FTEs during the coming quarters.

Other costs amounted to NOK 15.9 million (15.9), marginally below our 15% target for the first time. We foresee further trimming of other cost going forward.

Capex is below our guided level this quarter and amounted to NOK 11.0 million in the fourth quarter (12.9), with a corresponding Capex-% of 9.5% (11.8%) of total sales for the quarter.

EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was NOK 16.7 million (20.5) with a corresponding adjusted EBITDAmargin of 14% (19%). Reported EBITDA was 5.4 MNOK with a corresponding EBITDAmargin of 5%.

Full year adjusted EBITDA-margin was 15% (15%).

EBIT

Amortisation of intangible assets amounted to NOK 11.8 million in the quarter (12.7).

EBIT ended at NOK -7.4 million compared with NOK 6.6 in the same quarter last year.

Intangible assets are amortised over a period of 15 years, and Goodwill is amortised over a period of 10 years according to NRS.

Financials

Interest expenses amounted to NOK 14.9 million (14.6) in the fourth quarter, of which NOK 14.3 million represent net interest and NOK 0.6 million represents amortisation of capitalised borrowing costs.

Other financial items comprise agio/disagio related to transactions settled in other currencies than the reporting currency, and the valuation of assets and liabilities to be settled in other currencies than the reporting currencies. The latter is a calculated financial item and has no cash effect until settled.

Results

Profit before tax was NOK -29.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 (0.6).

Other

During 2023 and 2024, Omda's subsidiary, Omda Emergency AB (SWE), has made deductions for employer social security contributions related to employees engaged in research and development activities (R&D deductions). In response to a request from the Swedish Tax Agency, extensive and detailed information and supporting documentation for the R&D deductions were provided in December 2024. Despite acknowledging that Omda Emergency AB carries out R&D activities, the Swedish Tax Agency initial decision is to deny R&D deductions for 2023 and 2024, arguing that the provided documentation has not been sufficient to demonstrate that all requirements for R&D deduction have been met. It should in this context be noted that the Tax Agency has been criticised for imposing an unreasonable burden of proof on companies that wishes to qualify for the research deduction, something which has resulted in many companies being unable to utilise the R&D deduction.

Omda Emergency AB intends to appeal the decision to the Administrative Court and to apply for payment respite regarding the disputed tax amounting to SEK 4 985 604 for 2023 and SEK 4 574 496 for the period of January to September 2024, with an additional SEK 375 412 in interest. As per 31 December 2024 Omda has not made any accruals for the denied deductions. We have, however, made an accrual

of SEK 959 514 to reflect some identified mistakes when reviewing the deductions mentioned above.

Omda is still receiving deductions for employer social security contributions related to the employees engaged in research and development activities (R&D deductions)

FINANCIAL POSITION

Numbers in brackets relate to 31.12.2023.

Assets

Total non-current assets amounted to NOK 576.4 million at the end of the fourth quarter 2024 (549.8). Intangible assets accounted for NOK 567.6 million (540.5). The intangible assets mainly stem from the acquisitions made during the last seven years, in addition to in-house developed software (Capex) and deferred tax assets.

Current assets amounted to NOK 211.3 million at the end of the quarter (219.5). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to NOK 121.9 million (121.2).

Equity and liabilities

Omda had total booked equity of NOK 24.7 million (95.3) of a total reported balance of NOK 787.7 million (769.2) at the end of the quarter.

Equity reconciliation

According to updated NRS and NGAAP regulation, Omda performs an equity reconciliation per the end of each quarter. As part of the communicated share buyback programme, Omda buys back its own shares and hold them in treasury. The FX adjustments relate to assets owned by Omda nominated in other currencies than NOK and originate from acquisitions. This is a calculated item with no cash effect.

Buy-back of shares - 10 071

Share buy back

Last year, Omda started buying back its own shares for the purpose of using these shares as part of settlement for future acquisitions. The table below shows the transactions carried out per quarter until the end of Q4-24:

The NWC improved significantly to -31% at the end of the quarter (-11%). We will continue to focus on all aspects of cash management going forward.

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES (APMS)

Omda Alternative Performance Measures in the financial statements that are not defined under NGAAP. The Company believes that these measures provide useful supplementary information to investors and the Company's management as they provide supplemental information by adjusting for items that, in our view, do not give an indication of the periodic operating results or cash flows of Omda, or should be assessed in a different context than its classification according to its nature.

Financial APMs are intended to enhance comparability of the results and cash flows from period to period, and to better allow for evaluation of the Company's performance. Because not all companies calculate financial figures in the same way, these are not always comparable to measures used by other companies.

These alternative performance measures are not intended to and should not replace those by NGAAP.

Organic Growth

Omda started to publish organic growth numbers in the third quarter of 2022. We apply the following principles when reporting organic growth:

  • It is measured in local currency. We measure our Business Areas the same way and have a policy of not hedging FX.
  • We are not including other income in the calculation. Such income is neither strategic (e.g., invoicing of freight cost) nor repeatable (like the sale of the Finnish OnBase/scanner business, booked as Other operating income).
  • We exclude Hardware sales from the calculation. Such income is not a focus area for a software company like Omda.
  • All the acquired businesses are now included in the calculations, except for Predicare which will be included from Q1-25

• In line with established portfolio practice, we use the same quarter in the previous year as the reference.

Based on the above assumptions, we calculate organic growth in Q4-24 vs Q4-23 to be 1.6% measured in local currency. The last four quarters show an organic growth of 3.3%. Overall, organic growth LFQ is satisfactory in business areas Woman & Child, Medication Management and LIMS, while Emergency (now reorganised into smaller business units), Health Analytics and Connected Imaging have room for improvement.

In spite of the mixed results for 2024, we continue to forecast organic growth to be 5-10% annually long term.

Connected Imaging 19 941 14% 6% -4% 0%

Medication Management 6 484 19% 0% 66% 45%

Note: Organic growth is measured in local currency. Other income is excluded from the overview. EBITDA-numbers include proportionate allocation of common services. The sum of the parts may differ slightly from the reported total due to rounding.

Common Services cost allocated to business area Consulting Services is excluded from the above calculation.
