Highlights and key figures

First half year 2025

• Strong operational performance in EQVA - mainly driven by volume increase in the Industrial Solutions segment. The volume increase in this segment leads to improved profitability.

In H1 2025 EQVA group delivered a revenue of MNOK 602, where MNOK 561 was generated by the Industrial Solutions segment (adjusted for discontinued operations). The segment shows a revenue growth of 33 % compared to H1 last year (MNOK 450). The increase is mainly driven by an enhanced activity level in BKS and the purchase of IMTAS (with effect from Q2 2025).

EQVA EBITDA was MNOK 34 (63m in 2024).

The construction activity in the Renewables segment has been lower in H1 2025 compared to last year, but the activity in signing and securing new hydropower plant projects has increased. The Company is expecting to start the development of "Gjosa" plant in near future.

  • • Strong orderbook development EQVA has a record high orderbook of MNOK 932 per June 2025.
  • • Announced acquisitions of IMTAS Group and Austevoll Rørteknikk AS in Q1 2025, in line with our strategy. These strategic transactions have established EQVA as a leading, fully integrated system supplier within the piping, power and automation towards all our customer segments. This significantly enhances EQVA's position as a prominent supplier to industrial customers in Norway and expands our geographical presence. Following these mergers, the EQVA Group will consist of a robust team comprising over 655 highly skilled professionals, further strengthening its industry standing.

• Change in management

11. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND OTHER PURCHASES IN THE GROUP

2025 - Acquisition of IMTAS AS with subsidiaries

On 17th of February 2025, EQVA ASA entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares in IMTAS AS and its subsidiaries (other than IMTAS Eiendom AS) ("IMTAS Group"). The acquisition was carried out by EQVA's wholly owned subsidiary EQVA Industrial Solutions AS.

IMTAS Group offers services that are complementary to EQVA's current operations. The transaction expands the group's geographical area of operations, diversifies customer and revenue streams, and strengthens the overall service offering.

The transaction was closed on the 21th of March 2025. The consideration was a combination of (i) NOK 52 million in cash, (ii) 6 113 165 shares in EQVA ASA at a fair value of NOK 30,6 million, (iii) a locked-box-compensation of an estimated 21,5 million, and (iv) a Seller's Credit of NOK 40 million.

The transaction is accounted for as a business combination under IFRS 3 'Business Combinations' that equires the acquiree's identifiable assets and liabilities to be recognised at their fair values as of the acquisition date.

* 50% of the locked-box compensation was settled in cash in Q3 at the after finalized audited financial statments for IMTAS Group. The 100% locked-box compensation is set at NOK 19,9 million.

** 50% of the locked-box compensation is settled through the issuance of a seller's credit. All seller's credit is issued with a duration of 12 months at an interest of 8% p.a.

The agreement includes a conditional earn-out of up to NOK 30 million. The earn-out is performance-based, and calculated on the IMTAS Group's average EBITDA in 2025 and 2026. No earn-out will be paid if the IMTAS Group's average EBITDA over 2025 and 2026 is NOK 31,2 million or lower. The earn-out shall not in any event exceed NOK 30 million. The EBITDA is subject to certain adjustments for extraordinary events.

The estimated fair value of NOK 25,2 million has been determined using a probability-weighted approach, reflecting management's assessment of expected performance and synergies. The earn-out is expected to be settled in 2027 following completion of the measurement period, and has been discounted using the Group's discount rate. The liability is subsequently remeasured at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9.

On closing of the transaction, 6 113 165 new shares in EQVA ASA were issued as part of the consideration for IMTAS Group. The fair value of the shares, NOK 30,6 million was based on a the share price at Oslo Stock Exchange per March 3, 2025.

In addition, EQVA has secured refinancing from Nordea, combining acquisition and refinancing, totaling NOK 200 million. Additionally, the agreement expands EQVA's existing overdraft facility to NOK 70 million. This long-term loan, with a maturity of five years, features more favourable interest rates for EQVA. The refinancing arrangement also allows for dividend distributions, given a leverage ration (NIBD / EBITDA LTM) of less than 1,5 (after distribution). Furthermore, it has consolidated various banking relationships into a single primary bank for the group, simplifying futue financial mangement.
