2024 Outlook – Increased turnover and EBITDA Pro-forma figures

Financial guidance for 2024 as of November 14, 2024

EQVA Group, including Kvinnherad Elektro and Vassnes Group, on a full-year pro-forma basis:

Pro-forma FY'2024 revenue (million) 1.000 - 1.200 (+300)

Pro-forma FY'2024 EBITDA margin 5 - 6%(6-8%)

Higher sales of flow-through goods boost revenue against prior estimates but reduce margin due to lower profit from these goods compared to direct labor sales

Long-term EBITDA margin target for the group at 7-9 per cent and EBITA/WC > 40%

* Guidance figures are excluding the effect of the sale of Charisma (occurred in Q1 2024)

BKS' deliveries

BKS Industri was awarded the main contract, along with several subcontracts, for the installation of process piping and associated structures and fittings

Across foundry, piping systems, casting, and infrastructure, a total of 30km of piping will be installed

The installation will take place within a 'live' factory environment, involving work in both new and existing areas, with the latter demanding rigorous attention to health, safety, and environmental standards, meticulous planning, and skilled personnel

BKS is responsible for supplying all pipes, pipe fittings, valves, supports, clamps, and structural steel for clamps

In total, over 500 tons of piping and fastening materials will be delivered, fabricated, and installed

Given the high-temperature processes within the facility, stringent requirements for heat insulation of process piping and equipment are mandated

BKS is taking on several contracts

  • The main contract is a time-and-material-based agreement, including BKS' own management, quality, and HSE personnel, as well as some engineering work on drawing documentation. This contract has an expected duration of 18 months and commenced in 2023
  • A fixed-price contract for pipe installations in the new foundry
  • Electro/automation, pipe installations, and mechanical installation of furnaces, cabinets, cable trays, etc., in a fixed-price contract for Ajax Tocco, an Ohio-based company supplying induction furnaces to the foundry. These contracts have an expected duration of 6 months.
  • A fixed-price contract for specialty plastic pipe installations, as well as structural steel and cable trays. This contract have an expected duration of 6-months.
  • Additionally, BKS has several smaller contracts with other counterparties related to the Green Zinc Odda project
