Quarterly report Q3 2024 | Goodtech ASA

revenue after external project costs

last 12 months

Summary

Revenue and order backlog:

  • Net operating revenue after external project cost in line with same period last year (+1%). Q3 is generally the weakest quarter of the year as the vacation period and public holidays are impacting the available man hours
  • Several larger projects completed before the quarter, while lead-time on client investment decisions were longer than anticipated
  • 5% growth in order backlog compared to the same quarter in 2023. The growth is driven by some larger contract wins with Vesterålen Marine Olje and Alginor, as well as smaller service and after sales contracts won

Profitability:

  • 5.6 MNOK nominal reduction in EBITDA partly caused by loss-making projects in Swedish MES-roll-out
  • Lower staff utilization in the quarter as the group is between larger projects
  • Work is continuously carried out with margin-improving measures in all parts of the organization and other operating expenses were reduced from 24 MNOK in Q3 2023 to 15 MNOK in Q3 2024

Health and safety:

  • The H1 value (number of lost-time injuries per million hours worked, calculated on a rolling last 12-months basis) remained at 0
  • Sick leave in the quarter ended at 3.7%

Capital structure:

  • Robustly capitalized with a 53% equity share and NOK 106 million in cash and cash equivalents
  • The group sold its property and buildings at Åland for 1.8 MEUR in the quarter, which reduced net assets held for sale to 5.6 MNOK in Q3 2024
  • Goodtech's strategy is to let early-stage consulting work lead to larger industrial transformation projects, which in turn, lead to long-lasting client relationships in the after market through on-call service agreements, OT software license management, and Goodtech's own proprietary software
  • The strategy is intended to grow the group's more stable and recurring revenue streams to complement the more lumpy nature of project-based revenue streams

Goodtech's investments in building a stronger presence in the after market continues to drive growth

Goodtech continues to expand its offering in the aftermarket

Goodtech continuously works to secure early-stage consulting projects leading to large industrial transformation projects, which in turn develops longstanding client relationships in the aftermarket through Goodtech's service, license and software portfolio

The past years Goodtech has built up its after sales portfolio to increase its recurring and stable revenue streams to complement the more lumpy nature of project based revenue streams. The market potential in the aftermarket is large, and the group continues to recruit and build internal competency in supporting our industrial clients also after commissioning the project

Total revenue came in 31% lower than in Q3 2023

  1. In Q3 2023 Goodtech had several projects with high procurement share in the project mix - defined as "external project costs" in Goodtech's P&L. In Q3 2024 the total external project costs were 41.3 MNOK compared to 109.3 MNOK in Q3 2023, which explains the fall in total revenue. Goodtech's order backlog has several projects with higher share of external project costs in the pipeline than what prevailed in Q3 2024

Net operating revenue after external project costs in line (+1%) with same period last year

    1. Goodtech's revenues are driven by available manhours. In periods where the number of available manhours is impacted by vacation and public holidays, the revenue generation at Goodtech will be lower. Both Q2 and Q3 are examples of quarters where vacation periods reduce the number of billable manhours at Goodtech, and Q3 is typically the lowest.
    1. From Q3 2024 Goodtech will report on net operating revenue after external project costs as a new parameter in the P&L. This parameter illustrates Goodtech's revenues after deducting any third-party project-related procurement. The practice equals how other listed project- and consulting companies presents their P&L. Margins are expressed as a percentage of the net operating revenue after external project costs to more accurately showcase the margins in Goodtech's contribution to the projects.

EBITDA | MNOK

EBITDA-margin*

5.6 MNOK fall in EBITDA from Q3 2023 to Q3 2024

    1. Q2 and Q3 have historically been the lowest performing quarters for Goodtech, negatively impacted by the number of available manhours
    1. The quarter was in addition adversely impacted by Goodtech's MES-rollout in Sweden, which is further detailed on page 7 of this quarterly report
    1. Goodtech has taken measures to reduce losses in the Swedish business unit. New General Manager and Head of Operations as well as new project management is in place, and expert resources from Norway are contributing to move the Swedish operation over to the groups project execution model
    1. Several larger projects (like AKSO Verdal Production Line and REEtec) have successfully been handed over to the customer in the quarter, at the same time new larger projects (like Wacker and Empire Wind) are not yet fully contributing to utilization

Goodtech is one of the largest systems integrators of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) in the Nordics and has delivered MES to factories all since 1997. MES are computerized systems used in manufacturing to track and document the transformation of raw materials to finished goods

In 2022, Goodtech decided to expand and de-risk its MES deliveries by standardizing on the market leading systems AVEVA Model Driven MES and Parsec TrakSYS MES

The transition has required training and certifying our personnel in these systems and standardising machine- and robot-programming (PLC-programming) for efficient communication between the machines, robots and MES

In Goodtech's Norwegian business, this transition has gone smooth – and new projects are progressing according to plan. Goodtech remains the largest MES systems integrator in Norway

In Goodtech's Swedish operation, the transition has been more complex due to several reasons, amongst them different standards impacting the machine- and robot-programming (PLC). Project management has also been challenging and has led to large organisational changes in the Swedish operation. Actions include standardising the PLCprogramming and communication with the Norwegian operation, which future projects are expected to benefit from

  • Number of employees grew by 17% from 300 in Q3 2023 to 350 in Q3 2024

    • 23 employees across Trondheim, Bergen and Oslo came into the group through the acquisition of Skala Flytende in Q3 2023
    • Onboarding the newly recruited resources takes time, and we estimate that it takes 3-6 months to get the new recruits fully up and running
    • Goodtech's growth within service and solutions in the aftermarket has contributed to growth in number of employees in 2024
    • Goodtech is continuously looking for engineering talent with competencies within cybernetics, automation, industrial IT, IT/OT-infrastructure, machine and process, electro and power, and industrial cyber security
  • The group had no absenteeism injuries during Q3 2024 and, thus, can report on H1 value consistent with the group's zero vision for absenteeism injuries or injuries with medical treatment among employees

  • The Norwegian operations in the group had one absenteeism injury in Q1 2023 which affected the H1 statistics in 2023

  • In Q3 2024, Goodtech had 3.7% sickness absence. As in 2023, the majority of the absence was short-term. The sick leave increased in the quarter, partly due to an increase in COVID19 instances

  • The group has good routines for following up personnel on sick leave, and the prevailing rate of absence is not considered to be related to everyday life at Goodtech

* H1 is defined as the number of absenteeism injuries per million man-hours worked, calculated for on a rolling last 12 months basis

  • The group's Norwegian operations in Oslo, Tønsberg, Porsgrunn, Fredrikstad, Moss, Bergen, Førde, Trondheim and Mo i Rana, increased the order backlog by 15% (46 MNOK) from Q3 2023
  • In the quarter, several new contracts were signed among others Alginor biorefinery and Vesterålen Marine Olje fish oil factory
  • The order backlog in Norway is divided between small and mediumsized projects spread over framework agreements, consultancy assignments, service agreements and studies, as well as fixed-price projects with industrial players who are digitizing their industrial and production operations
  • The order backlog in the group is diversified across a wide range of customers and market segments in the Nordic industry

Several larger projects completed before the quarter, while lead-time on client investment decisions were longer than anticipated

Discontinued operations

In Q4 2022, Goodtech announced the sale of the organization on Åland to NCC, which was carried out in Q1 2023, and in July 2024 Goodtech announced the sale of property and buildings on Åland. Remaining assets - after the sale of the property and buildings in Q3 2024, relating to ongoing projects on Åland are still presented as held for sale in the group's balance sheet.

The operations on Åland delivered earnings after tax (discontinued operations) of 0.5 MNOK in Q3 2024, compared to -4.2 MNOK in the same period in 2023.

Continued operations in the group

Net operating revenue after external projects costs ended at 106.5 MNOK in Q3 2024, compared to 105.9 MNOK in the same period in 2023. External project costs came in at 41.3 MNOK compared to 109.3 MNOK in Q3 2023. The reduction is caused by lower project activity in the quarter as a large share of the on-going projects have come to a successful customer delivery in the period, and there are less ongoing projects with significant procurement share started up in the quarter. Salaries and other personnel costs increased from 74.1 MNOK in Q3 2023 to 89.9 MNOK in Q3 2024, relating mainly to the increase in number of employees from 300 in Q3 2023 to 350 in Q3 2024. Goodtech is attracting new talents but onboarding to effective billing takes 3- 6 months.

EBITDA ended at 2.1 MNOK in Q3 2024 (2.0%) compared to 7.7 MNOK (1.3%) in the same period in 2023. The negative development in EBITDA is partly caused by losses in the Swedish business unit, where Goodtech's investment in MES roll-out in Sweden has proven more costly than expected. The total loss in the projects came in at 4.6 MNOK in Q3 2024. The roll-out has unveiled a need for streamlined project management and programming processes in Sweden, and corrective actions have been implemented. A new management and project execution team is already set in place in Sweden. The projects will be handed over to the customers during Q4 and are expected to continue affecting Goodtech's financial performance in Q4 2024, although at a lesser degree than Q3 2024. Furthermore, the quarter was impacted by lower staff utilization in than expected as the group is between larger projects.

Other operating expenses decreased from 24.0 MNOK in Q3 2023 to 14.5 MNOK in Q4 2024, primarily driven by reduced IT-costs, consultancy costs, and travel costs. Goodtech last year experienced losses on receivables related to a customer bankruptcy, totaling 2.7 MNOK, with no losses during the same quarter this year.

In addition, the IFRS16 lease expense increased from 3.5 MNOK to 5.8 MNOK from Q3 2023 to Q3 2024, which positively impacts EBITDA in 2024. More details on this in note 7 to the financial statement. Net financial items ended at -0.2 MNOK, compared to -1.3 MNOK in Q3 2023. primarily because the group had a net cash position in the quarter and smaller effects from premiums / discounts on purchases.

Goodtech is monitoring the market macro development. Inflation and wage increases are impacting both income and cost base. The group closely monitors changes in energy prices, the interest rate and other cost drivers of the customers' industrial operations. Goodtech's solutions contribute to optimizing the customer's power consumption, resource utilization and wastage, and thus both high energy prices and an increased focus on sustainability are positive drivers in the group's order intake.

Goodtech also monitors the supplier market closely in terms of price, delivery lead times and transport capacity for products and components for automated industrial production. Examples of this are PLC, HMI, robots, cobots, self-driving vehicles (AGV), and frequency converters.

Parallel to the fact that Goodtech is climbing the customer value chain increasing scope of supply through system sales, including equipment in scope of supply, we have simultaneously increased the focus on contract terms and risk distribution between Goodtech and its customers, suppliers and partners. This, together with good project execution ability, makes us confident that order intake and order backlog has a balanced risk profile.

Cash flow from operational activities ended at -6.5 ,MNOK in Q3 2024 compared to 13.9 MNOK in Q3 2023. The reduction is primarily related to lower changes in trade receivables and other receivables (15 MNOK in Q3 2024 compared to 24.6 MNOK in Q3 2023), as well as higher changes in trade payables and other current liabilities in Q3 (-23.7 MNOK in Q3 2024, compared to -15.8 MNOK in Q3 2023).

Quarterly report Goodtech ASA - Q3 2024 Robust capital structure

Assets

  • Other current assets consisting of inventory, accounts receivables, contract assets and other short-term receivables, decreased from 154 MNOK in Q2 2024 to 139 MNOK in Q3 2024 – primarily due to reduced accounts receivables and contract assets
  • Cash and cash equivalents remained at similar level (106 MNOK) to Q2 2024 (102 MNOK)
  • Assets held for sale fell in the quarter following the 1.8 MEUR sale of property and buildings at Åland

Equity and liabilities

  • The group remains robustly capitalized, with a stable equity ratio of 52.6%
  • The group's long-term debt, which consists of long-term lease liabilities (33.2 MNOK) and long-term provisions (0.1 MNOK), decreased from 36 MNOK in Q2 2024 to 33 MNOK in Q3 2024
  • Current liabilities consists of trade payables, other current liabilities, short-term interest-bearing debt (draw on group credit facility), short-term lease liabilities, short-term contract liabilities and short-term provisions. The current liabilities were reduced from 237 MNOK in Q2 2024 to 218 MNOK in Q3 2024 primarily due to a reduction in trade payables
  • In order to accommodate the rapid growth in the group, as well as the strategy of larger scope of supply in the income mix, the group increased its credit limit in GCP in Q2 2024 from 45 MNOK to 55 MNOK, while at the same time also securing additional 25 MNOK available credit facility top-up which can be activated

Notes to the Financial Statements for Q3 2024 (Unaudited)

Note 1 General Information and Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements include Goodtech ASA and its subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in line with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". The quarterly report is unaudited. The interim financial statements do not include all the information required in a complete annual financial statement and should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for 2023. The accounting principles used are the same as those used in the consolidated financial statements for 2023. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as established by the EU. Revenues and expenses for foreign subsidiaries are translated into NOK on a quarterly basis using monthly average exchange rates for each currency. Balance sheet items are consolidated using the exchange rates at the end of the reporting period.

The presentation in the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss will be reclassified from Q3 2024, where "External project costs" and "Net operating revenue after external project costs" will be added as new items. "External project costs" includes the previously reported cost of goods sold (in Norwegian referred to as "Varekostnad") as reported before Q3 2024, as well as any other third-party project-related procurement costs (previously reported as part of "other operational expenses" (in Norwegian referred to as "Andre driftskostnader" before Q3 2024). Consequently "Net operating revenue after external project costs" illustrates revenues after deducting any third-party project-related procurement costs. Other operating expenses will still remain on a separate line in the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss, but now excluding projectrelated third-party procurement costs. Total Revenue and EBITDA will remain unchanged with the new presentation. See the effected items prior and after changes presented below:

Prior presentation
Amounts in MNOK Q3 2024 Q3 2023 YTD 2024 YTD 2023 2023
Cost of goods sold -37.8 -109.3 -174.9 -262.6 -349.7
Other operating expenses -18.0 -24.0 -62.9 -66.4 -89.4
New presentation
Amounts in MNOK Q3 2024 Q3 2023 YTD 2024 YTD 2023 2023
External projects costs -41.3 -109.3 -186.1 -262.6 -349.7
Other operating expenses -14.5 -24.0 -51.6 -66.4 -89.4

The reason for the reclassification is to align practice to other listed project- and consulting companies to ensure ease of comparison and avoid misunderstanding from readers of Goodtech's reported financial statements. Margins are expressed as a percentage of this "Net operating revenue after external project costs" to more accurately showcase Goodtech's value contribution to the projects. The new classification will also apply to historical numbers and be restated in the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Note 2 Estimates

The preparation of the interim financial statements involves the use of assessments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting principles and recognized amounts to assets and liabilities, as well as income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant considerations in the application of the Group's accounting policies and the most important sources of uncertainty are the same as those in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for 2023.

Note 3 Changes in the Group's Structure

Skala Acquisition

On 16 August 2023, Goodtech announced an agreement to acquire Skala AS's business unit for industrial IT, automation, and process engineering in the liquid food and process industry. The unit is a leading engineering environment in its segment, and strengthens Goodtech's position within dairy and aquaculture products in Nordic food production. The acquisition was completed on 2 October 2023, and the operations of the business were therefore fully integrated into the Group's financial statements starting from Q4 2023.

The transaction involved the acquisition of the specialized software LT Line, intangible assets, inventory and office equipment related to the unit's operations, the organisation with 24 engineers in Oslo, Trondheim, Klepp and Førde (of which 23 did not exercise their reservation rights and joined Goodtech), as well as an order book exceeding 20 MNOK.

The acquisition included an initial cash consideration of 7.6 MNOK, as reflected in Goodtech's cash flow statement for 2023. Additionally, the parties agreed on a contingent consideration (earn-out) that would be determined by contribution margin sharing in the acquired order book of just over 20 MNOK. In February 2024, Goodtech reached an agreement with Skala AS regarding the amount of the contingent consideration (earnout) totaling 1.1 MNOK, which is reflected in the Group's cash flow for Q1 2024. The Group made an initial provision for earn-out based on expectations at the time of acquisition on 2 October 2023, which as of 31 December 2023, has been reduced to the finally agreed amount of 1.1 MNOK. The reduction of 0.8 MNOK has been recorded as other income in 2023.

Note 4 Transactions with Related Parties

Goodtech occasionally engages in purchase and sale transactions with related parties as part of normal business operations.

No transactions with related parties were conducted in the third quarter of 2024.
