In the third quarter Multiconsult delivered strong organic growth, and demand for our services remains robust, supported by several new framework agreements and new assignments that align with our strategy. EBITA for the quarter amounted to NOK 62.1 million, corresponding to an EBITA margin of 5.2 per cent (6.41). The results for the quarter reflect a complex picture, with overall performance somewhat below our expectations. To address this, we are strengthening ongoing initiatives and launching additional measures to improve our billing ratio, reduce costs and restore momentum. I am committed to getting the company back on the successful track we have seen since 2020.
Prior to 2019, the company experienced four years of declining results. Following a successful turnaround, we have maintained a strong performance for an extended period. Certain areas of the business are now facing more challenging market conditions. Our billing ratio remains at a satisfactory level, but a challenging competitive landscape means hourly rates have not increased sufficiently to match the development in salaries and other costs. To address this, we are strengthening ongoing initiatives and launching additional measures to improve our billing ratio, reduce costs and restore momentum.
Following a thorough analysis, we have identified areas where capacity adjustments are necessary, as recovery in some business areas is not expected in the short term. To address costs, we are looking at several initiatives, one of which is to create a more efficient common business support organisation. In the short term, we are also considering scaling down internal activities to increase billing ratio. It is worth noting that activity levels remain very strong across many areas of the organisation, with promising prospects ahead.
During the quarter, we have prepared for a smaller and leaner executive management team. I will focus my

efforts on the CEO role and strengthen the management team in Norway with the appointment of Kristin Olsson Augestad as Managing Director of Multiconsult Norway.
I am also pleased that Kristina Jordt Adsersen has accepted the role of Executive Vice President Architecture. She is an accomplished architect who demonstrated

exceptional leadership during the successful turnaround at LINK in Denmark. She will be a valuable addition to our management team, and a driving force in delivering our corporate strategy.
As in the previous quarters this year, the results show a mixed picture. We maintain a strong order backlog and continue to win new assignments that align with our strategy. In the quarter, we strengthened our position within defence with new framework agreements assigned to LINK Architecture and Multiconsult Norway for the Norwegian Defence Estates Agency.
Adjusted organic revenue growth year-on-year is solid at 6.7 per cent. The billing ratio of 70.1 per cent is satisfactory for the third quarter. While the competitive landscape continues to evolve and the mix of our project portfolio shifts, we remain focused on executing our
strategy and leveraging our strengths to support growth and profitability.
Going forward we concentrate our efforts on sales and project execution, following the leads in areas that remain in high demand. We have signed the Share Purchase Agreement for the acquisition of ViaNova and look forward to exploring new opportunities for the future.
Thanks to the dedication of more than 4 000 highly skilled employees, Multiconsult is well positioned to meet future demand. I am grateful for their commitment to driving our strategic ambitions and creating valuable solutions for society.

19 Note to comparable figures in 2024: EBITA adjusted. Adjustment related to one-off for settlement payment with client of NOK 31.2 million in the third quarter.

Note to comparable figure Q4 2023: Adjusted EBITA of NOK 145.1 million, 10.7 per cent margin is adjusted for one-offs related to co-ownership programme (NOK 18.7 million). Reported EBITA of NOK 118.4 million, 8.7 per cent margin. Note to comparable figure Q3 2024: EBITA adjusted NOK 71.1 million, 6.4 per cent margin. Adjustment related to one-off for settlement payment with client of NOK 31.2 million.
Multiconsult delivered a stable performance in the third quarter. The challenge of rising costs and an increasingly competitive market calls for strong measures to ensure long-term targets are met. Net operating revenues grew by 4.2 per cent to NOK 1 196.4 million, with adjusted organic revenue growth at 6.7 per cent. EBITA adjusted was NOK 62.1 million (71.7) with a corresponding margin of 5.2 per cent (6.4). EBITA for the guarter amounted to NOK 62.1 million, bringing the year-to-date EBITA to NOK 319.9 million. The EBITA margin was 5.2 per cent for the guarter and 7.7 per cent year to date. In the same quarter last year, the resolution of a contractual dispute with a client resulted in a one-off settlement payment of NOK 31.2 million, which was reflected in the group results. When adjusted for this settlement, EBITA decreased by 1.2 percentage points, or NOK 9.6 million, compared to the corresponding period last year.
There was high activity in most segments, but with some increased uncertainty in parts of the market. Activity is affected by slower than expected start-up on larger framework agreements, and the margin pressure is slightly increasing. The result is impacted by higher billing rates but negatively affected by reduced activity. The billing ratio was 70.1 per cent, 1.1 percentage points lower than the comparable quarter last year. Order intake was NOK 1 205 million resulting in an order backlog of NOK 4 316 million. The share purchase agreement for the acquisition of the ViaNova group has been signed, and closing is expected to take place mid-November.

Multiconsult group ("Multiconsult" or "the group") comprises Multiconsult ASA ("parent company" or "company") and all subsidiaries and associated companies. Comparable text and figures in brackets reflect the same period prior year or relevant balance sheet date in 2024.
Net operating revenues amounted to NOK 1 196.4 million (1 148.4), an increase of 4.2 per cent compared to the same quarter last year. The organic revenue growth amounted to 6.7 per cent, adjusted for calendar effect, and one-off. The increase in net operating revenues was driven by increased capacity and higher billing rates. The growth in net operating revenues was offset by a lower billing ratio, which declined by 1.1 percentage points to 70.1 per cent (71.2).
Operating expenses consist of employee benefit expenses and other operating expenses. Operating expenses increased by 8.8 per cent to NOK 1 071.2 million (984.7) compared to the same guarter in 2024. Employee benefit expenses increased by 9.2 per cent to NOK 906.8 million. This increase is mainly attributable to higher employee benefit expenses due to ordinary salary adjustments and increased staffing levels. In the comparable quarter last year, employee benefit expenses were affected by a temporary employer contribution tax of 5 per cent for salaries/compensation above NOK 850 thousand in Norway. Other operating expenses increased by 6.8 per cent to NOK 164.5 million (154.0), primarily due to higher IT-costs and overall cost increases.
EBITDA was NOK 125.1 million (163.8), a decrease of 23.6 per cent compared to the same period last year, reflecting an EBITDA margin of 10.5 per cent (14.3) in the quarter.
EBITA came in at NOK 62.1 million (102.9), a decrease of 39.6 per cent year-over-year, reflecting an EBITA margin of 5.2 per cent (9.0) in the quarter. In the comparable guarter last year, EBITA was affected by a one-time settlement payment of contractual dispute of NOK 31.2 million. EBITA is also affected by legal expenses and write-downs, related to the Sotra project of NOK 5.1 million.
EBITA adjusted for one-offs was NOK 62.1 million (71.7), reflecting an EBITA margin of 5.2 per cent (6.4) in the quarter. In the current quarter there were no adjustments for one-offs, however, in the comparable quarter last year, EBITA adjusted for a one-off related to a settlement payment of a contractual dispute of NOK 31.2 million.
Net financial items were an expense of NOK 14.9 million (3.5). The increase in net financial items is primarily due to lower other financial income compared to the third guarter of 2024. The third guarter of 2024 included a subsequent measurement of a gross put option obligation related to the A-lab acquisition of NOK 10.6 million. Additionally, net financial items are impacted by higher currency losses compared to the same period last year.
Group tax rate was 21.9 per cent (20.7).
Reported profit for the period was NOK 38.9 million (80.2). Earnings per share for the quarter were NOK 1.41 (2.95).
Calendar effect. In the third quarter of 2025, the average number of working days was the same as in the corresponding period of 2024. However, due to variations in working days within the months between the two periods (September had one additional day, while August had one fewer day), there was an estimated positive impact of NOK 2.2 million on net operating revenues and operating results. Multiconsult uses alternative performance measures to provide a better understanding of the group's underlying financial performance, see last section of this report.
Net operating revenues increased by 5.0 per cent to NOK 4 135.7 million (3 940.3). The organic revenue growth amounted to 4.9 per cent, adjusted for calendar effect, and one-off. The increase in net operating revenues was driven by increased capacity reflected by an increase in full-time equivalents (FTE) of 4.6 per cent and higher billing rates. The growth in net operating revenues was offset by lower billing ratio of 1.1 percentage points, which came in at 71.8 per cent (72.9).
Operating expenses consist of employee benefit expenses and other operating expenses. Reported operating expenses increased by 8.8 per cent to NOK 3 627.5 million (3 334.5) compared to the same period in 2024. Employee benefit expenses increased by 8.7 per cent and came in at NOK 3 119.5 million (2 869.5), an increase driven by net recruitment, regular salary adjustments and increased employee benefit expenses resulting from acquired companies. In the comparable period last year, employee benefit expenses were affected by a temporary employer contribution tax of 5 per cent for salaries/compensation above NOK 850 thousand in
EBITDA was NOK 508.2 million (605.8), a decrease of 16.1 per cent compared to the same period last year, reflecting an EBITDA margin of 12.3 per cent (15.4).
EBITA was NOK 319.9 million (425.4), a decrease of 24.8 per cent y-o-y, reflecting an EBITA margin of 7.7 per cent (10.8). EBITA is affected by legal expenses and writedowns, related to the Sotra project of NOK 18.9 million.
EBITA adjusted for one-offs was NOK 319.9 million (394.1), a decrease of 18.8 per cent y-o-y, reflecting an EBITA margin of 7.7 per cent (10.1). In the current period, there were no adjustments for one-offs, however, in the comparable quarter last year EBITA adjusted for one-off related to settlement payment of a contractual dispute of NOK 31.2 million.
Net financial items were an expense of NOK 50.4 million (20.4). The increase is primarily due to other financial income recognition of NOK 36.0 million in the same period in 2024 associated with the acquisition of A-lab. Additionally, net financial items are impacted by lower interest expenses related to lease liabilities and slightly higher interest expenses related to other interest-bearing liabilities, compared to the same period last year.
Group tax rate was 21.9 per cent (20.8).
Reported profit for the period was NOK 213.9 million (323.7). The decrease y-o-y is partly affected by an income of NOK 36.0 million in the comparable period last year due to subsequent measurement of gross put option obligation associated with the acquisition of A-lab.
Calendar effect. Year to date 2025 the average number of working days was the same as in 2024, but with different distribution of working days during the months. The financial impact is limited, with a negative effect of NOK 0.3 million on net operating revenues and operating results when comparing the periods. Multiconsult uses alternative performance measures to provide a better understanding of the group's underlying financial performance, see last section of this report.
Total assets amounted to NOK 3 967.7 million (3 858.9. Jun 2025), and total equity amounted to NOK 1 122.7 million (1 159.7, Jun 2025). The group held cash and cash equivalents of NOK 28.3 million (31.1, Jun 2025), drawdown on cash pool was NOK 327.0 million (drawdown on cash pool 227.7, Jun 2025).
Net interest-bearing liabilities amounted to NOK 1 365.6 million (1 120.3, Jun 2025), Adjusted for IFRS 16 lease obligations, net interest-bearing debt was NOK 754.8 million (467.0, Jun 2025).
Net cash flow from operating activities was negative NOK 132.8 million (positive 29.3). Net cash flow from operating activities was affected by changes in working capital. The change in working capital in the quarter was within normal fluctuations.
Net cash flow used in investment activities was NOK 28.7 million (24.5). Ordinary asset replacement amounted to NOK 19.5 million (28.2).
Net cash flow from financing activities amounted to positive NOK 59.7 million (negative 136.9) which was impacted by net proceeds on the revolving credit facility and purchase of treasury shares.

Net cash flow used in investment activities was NOK 76.2 million (143.2). Ordinary asset replacement amounted to NOK 59.1 million (84.1). Net cash paid for acquisitions was NOK 7.4 million (62.2).
Net cash flow from financing activities amounted to negative NOK 348.4 million (negative NOK 437.5 million) which was impacted by dividend payments, net proceeds on the revolving credit facility, instalments on lease liabilities and purchase of treasury shares.
Employee engagement, personal and professional development, a learning organisation, and strong recruitment capabilities are important factors for Multiconsult's long-term success. The number of full-time equivalents (FTE) in the quarter amounted to 3744 (3540), an increase of 5.8 per cent compared to the same quarter last year. In accordance with the ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards) a new definition, 'permanent employees', has been introduced 1). Moreover, the definitions of employees have been replaced with 'permanent fixed employees'2). At the end of the period the total number of permanent fixed employees was 4 062 (3 893), an increase of 169 employees year-over-year, a 4.3 per cent growth.
| Q3 2025 | Q3 2024 | FY 2024 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Permanent fixed employees | 4 062 | 3 893 | 3 923 |

| Full-time equivalents (FTE) | 3 744 | 3 5 4 0 | 3 566 |
On 1 October, Multiconsult announced changes to the executive management team and organisational structure. The number of managers with dual roles in Multiconsult group and in Multiconsult Norway AS is reduced to sharpen management focus and capacity in both entities. As previously announced in March
2025, Grethe Bergly has informed the board of directors of her intention to step down as CEO. The board is in the process of recruiting a successor, and Bergly will continue as chief executive officer until the new appointment is in place.
In September Multiconsult, in collaboration with Engineers Without Borders, organised Norway's largest mapping initiative. Around 200 employees across the country mapped 14 500 buildings in Cameroon. The Minister of International Development, Asmund Aukrust, also took part in the voluntary effort, which attracted considerable attention in social media.
In August, Multiconsult took part in several events during Arendalsuka (Norway's largest annual political and societal forum). The themes and messages reflected the group's strategic ambitions, and the company maintained a strong presence on social media throughout the week.
The same month, Multiconsult sponsored the Blink Festival (an international roller ski event featuring the world's elite in cross-country skiing and biathlon). Competitions took place in Sandnes, Algard and Lysebotn in Rogaland. Logo exposure from NRK's television broadcasts provided Multiconsult with excellent visibility.

1) Permanent employees, a new definition introduced in the annual report 2024 and includes employees on fixed or hourly salary including staff on temporary leave (paid and unpaid), excluding temporary employees and non-guaranteed hours personnel. Number of employees measured at the end of the period.
<sup>2) Permanent fixed employees replace the definition of employees and includes employees on fixed salary including staff on temporary leave (paid and unpaid), excluding temporary employees and non-guaranteed hours personnel. In addition, a new definition is added to the reporting in 2025 permanent employees - that includes employees on hourly salary. (Details in "Definitions")
Multiconsult has recently announced several new framework agreements, which contribute positively to the strong order backlog. The growing number of large framework agreements lavs the foundation for future assignments. As order intake is only recognised upon the signing of individual call-offs under these agreements, this results in a series of smaller entries over time rather than a single large intake per agreement. The total consolidated order intake in the quarter amounted to NOK 1 205 million (1277), a decrease of 5.6 per cent year-over-year. The order backlog is still high, with a diversified portfolio distributed across all business areas. At the end of the quarter the order backlog was NOK 4 316 million (4838), a decrease of 5.7 per cent compared to last quarter and a decrease of 10.8 per cent year-overyear.
Multiconsult group reports on markets, order intake and backlog through the following four business areas:
The size and timing of execution of the order backlog varies significantly between the business areas and locations. The order backlog does not reflect the total expected volume related to framework agreements and includes only call-offs that have been signed under these agreements.

Below is an outline of the market development associated with the four business areas during the quarter.
The market remained challenging, with notable geographical variations and continued pressure on margins. Defence-related opportunities supported activity, while energy-efficiency projects and new hospital projects in the pipeline contributed positively despite the broader slowdown in housing and traditional real estate. The Scandinavian architecture market continued to be demanding, with Denmark showing the most improvement, Sweden remaining restrained, and Norway mixed. Competitive intensity and pricing sensitivity persisted across the market, adding pressure on margins.
Among projects included in the order intake during the quarter were:
Overall, infrastructure maintained a high level of activity. A mixed market situation, with strong activity in rail market and a short-term dip in the road market. Cancellations and delays occurred in parts of the largeproject pipeline, and the shift towards mid-size and smaller projects continued. In Poland, conditions were challenging despite a solid pipeline, with uncertainty around political priorities and EU funding unchanged, in addition to some ongoing public procurement disputes.
In Sweden, investment levels in infrastructure remained relatively high, although financial headwinds and a limited number of new projects added pressure. In Norway, major opportunities such as The Arna-Stanghelle project has entered the tender process. Competitive intensity and pricing sensitivity persisted across the market, adding pressure on margins.
Among projects included in the order intake during the quarter were:
The market remained strong and at a high level. Traditional onshore industry and aquaculture were stable, and grid development continued at a high activity level. Projects related to energy transition and electrification were affected by political discussions, grid capacity constraints, and return-on-investment challenges that delayed decisions. Activity continued under major framework agreements, and developments in pumped storage and hydropower upgrades reflected the growing emphasis on system flexibility. Offshore wind showed some positive momentum both in Norway and selected international opportunities, while solar remained challenging in Norway but more optimistic internationally.
Among projects included in the order intake during the quarter were:
Demand remained stable for water and sewage infrastructure, climate adaptation, environmental remediation and biodiversity services across Scandinavia and Poland. A heightened focus on sustainability and nature conservation supported advisory demand, while competition remained intense and margin pressure persisted. Sector fundamentals were supported by large, long-term reinvestment needs, including municipal investments in water and wastewater and the maintenance backlog highlighted in the report "State of the Nation 2025", published by RIF (Consulting Engineers Association in Norway).
Among projects included in the order intake during the quarter were:
Multiconsult is a specialist engineering and architecture consultancy company. Its business concept is delivering multidisciplinary consultancy, creating value for clients, shareholders, employees, and other stakeholders.
Multiconsult is organised in four reporting segments:

This segment offers services in four business areas and comprises the Oslo region, including the Lillehammer office, Large Projects in Norway and the subsidiaries Multiconsult UK and Sitepartner.
| Amounts in NOK million | Q3 2025 | Q3 2024 | YTD 2025 | YTD 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net operating revenues | 449.5 | 448.0 | 1 535.0 | 1 489.6 |
| EBITA | 32.7 | 66.4 | 159.8 | 210.0 |
| EBITA margin (%) | 7.3% | 14.8% | 10.4% | 14.1% |
| Billingratio | 70.9% | 72.8% | 72.0% | 73.6% |
| Full-time equivalents (FTE) | 1 193 | 1 132 | 1 164 | 1 126 |


Net operating revenues in the quarter were NOK 449.5 million (448.0), an increase of 0.3 per cent compared to the same quarter last year. Adjusted for the one-time settlement payment from client of NOK 31.2 NOK million in the same quarter last year, the increase in net operating revenues was 7.9 per cent. This increase in net operating revenues was primarily driven by a 5.4 per cent growth in full-time equivalents (FTE) that increased capacity and higher billing rates. The increase in net operating revenues was offset by the effect of a decrease in billing ratio of 1.9 percentage points to 70.9 per cent (72.8). Additionally, compared to the previous year, there was a slight negative impact due to organisational changes, where FTEs were moved from
Region Oslo to Not allocated, affecting its net operating revenues and results in the segment.
Operating expenses amounted to NOK 409.6 million (375.1), an increase of 9.2 per cent. Employee benefit expenses were NOK 309.8 million (288.3), an increase of 7.5 per cent, in line with ordinary salary adjustments and a net increase in the number of employees. Other operating expenses amounted to NOK 99.8 million (86.8), an increase of 14.9 per cent, driven by generally higher IT-costs, and an overall increase in costs.
EBITA amounted to NOK 32.7 million (66.4), with a corresponding margin of 7.3 per cent (14.8). In the comparable
quarter last year, EBITA was affected by a one-time settlement payment from client of NOK 31.2 million, leaving the comparable EBITA to be NOK 35.2 million, with a margin of 8.4 per cent. The net decrease to the comparable quarter was primarily driven by lower billing ratio and the relatively high increase in operating expenses. Higher billing rates and an increase in capacity reflected in full-time equivalents contributed positively to the EBITA.

This segment offers services in four business areas and comprises all offices outside the Region Oslo, with a presence in all larger cities and several other locations in Norway.
| Amounts in NOK million | Q3 2025 | Q3 2024 | YTD 2025 | YTD 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net operating revenues | 493.5 | 455.0 | 1 713.9 | 1 589.4 |
| EBITA | 30.8 | 37.4 | 142.1 | 192.1 |
| EBITA margin (%) | 6.2% | 8.2% | 8.3% | 12.1% |
| Billing ratio | 71.5% | 72.3% | 71.6% | 72.8% |
| Full-time equivalents (FTE) | 1 336 | 1 266 | 1 338 | 1 272 |


Net operating revenues amounted to NOK 493.5 million (455.0), an increase of 8.5 per cent compared to the same quarter last year. The increase in net operating revenues was mainly driven by increased capacity, reflected in a 5.5 per cent growth in full-time equivalents (FTE), and increased billing rates. The increase in net operating revenues was offset by a lower billing ratio, which came in at 71.5 per cent (72.3), a decrease of 0.8 percentage point compared to the third quarter of last year.
Operating expenses amounted to NOK 453.5 million (409.0), an increase of 10.9 per cent. Employee benefit expenses came in at NOK 333.7 million (303.5), an increase of 10.0 per cent. The increase was mainly driven by net recruitment, ordinary salary
adjustments, and expenses from acquired companies. Other operating expenses amounted to NOK 119.7 million (105.5), an increase of 13.5 per cent due to overall cost increases, higher IT-costs, and an overall increase in costs.
EBITA amounted to NOK 30.8 million (37.4), with a corresponding margin of 6.2 per cent (8.2). The decrease is primarily due to lower billing ratio, and higher operating expenses compared to the same quarter last year. Higher billing rates and an increase in capacity reflected in full-time equivalents contributed positively to the EBITA.

| Billing ratio | 70.2% | 69.6% | 71.5% | 71.7% |
| Full-time equivalents (FTE) | 502 | 472 | 526 | 516 |


Net operating revenues amounted to NOK 163.4 million (149.7), an increase of 9.1 per cent compared to the corresponding quarter last year. The increase in net operating revenues was primarily driven by higher billing rate and increased capacity. Increased capacity is reflected in a 6.2 per cent increase in full-time equivalents (FTE) compared to the same period last year. The increase in billing ratio contributed the increase in net operating revenues.
Operating expenses amounted to NOK 154.4 million (143.0), an increase of 8.0 per cent compared to the same period last year. Employee benefit expenses totalled to NOK 126.9 million (117.6), reflecting an increase of 7.9 per cent, in line with
ordinary salary adjustments and a net increase in the number of employees. Other operating expenses amounted to NOK 27.5 million (25.4), representing an increase of 8.2 per cent.
EBITA amounted to NOK 0.1 million (negative 2.0), corresponding to a margin of 0.0 per cent (negative 1.4). The increase is primarily due to higher billing ratio, higher billing rates, and higher capacity compared to the same quarter last year. Higher operating expenses offset the positive contribution to EBITA.

This segment comprises the subsidiaries Multiconsult Polska in Poland and Iterio AB in Sweden and offers services mainly in the business area Mobility & Transportation.
| Amounts in NOK million | Q3 2025 | Q3 2024 | YTD 2025 | YTD 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net operating revenues | 95.2 | 93.1 | 315.7 | 291.9 |
| EBITA | 1.7 | 4.8 | 15.1 | 9.6 |
| EBITA margin (%) | 1.8% | 5.1% | 4.8% | 3.3% |

| Full-time equivalents (FTE) | 513 | 505 | 484 | 466 |

Net operating revenues amounted to NOK 95.2 million (93.1), an increase of 2.2 per cent compared to the same quarter last year. The increase in net operating revenues was mainly driven by increased capacity, reflected in a 1.5 per cent growth in full-time equivalents (FTE), and increased billing rates. The increase in billing ratio contributed the increase in net operating revenues.
Operating expenses amounted to NOK 88.0 million (82.9), 6.2 per cent higher than in the same period last year. Employee benefit expenses increased by 7.2 per cent, primarily due to net recruitment and ordinary salary adjustments. The increase was also partly impacted by currency translation effects. Other operating
expenses amounted to NOK 13.9 million (13.8), broadly in line with the same quarter last year. With an FTE increase of 1.5 per cent, a higher cost level would typically follow. However, expenses remained modest, largely due to ongoing cost-saving initiatives and reduced travel and meeting activity.
EBITA amounted to NOK 1.7 million (4.8), corresponding to a margin of 1.8 per cent (5.1). The decrease is primarily due to marginal increase in billing rate and higher employee benefit expenses compared to the same quarter last year. Higher billing rates and an increase in capacity contributed positively to the EBITA.

On 1 October and on 9 October, Multiconsult ASA announced changes to the executive management team and organisational structure. The number of managers with dual roles in Multiconsult group and Multiconsult Norway is reduced to sharpen management focus and capacity in both entities. As previously announced in March 2025, Grethe Bergly has informed the board of directors of her intention to step down as CEO. The board is in the process of recruiting a successor, and Bergly will continue as chief executive officer until the new appointment is in place.
On 9 October, Multiconsult ASA announced: Multiconsult Norge AS has been nominated for the framework agreement R01781 – environmental advisory services by the Norwegian Defence Estates Agency (NDEA) (Forsvarsbygg). The total estimated value of the agreement is NOK 200 million exclusive of VAT, with a duration of five years.
On 21 October, Multiconsult ASA announced that the company has signed a final Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) for the acquisition of all issued and outstanding shares in ViaNova AS, ViaNova Trondheim AS, ViaNova Kristiansand AS, and ViaNova Eureka AS (collectively referred to as "ViaNova").
On 31 October, Multiconsult Norway AS announced that the company was nominated for a framework agreement - project implementation for Flåteplan 2024 Haakonsvern by the Norwegian Defence Estates Agency.

approximately NOK 200 million and additional options valued at around NOK 600 million. The contract period is four years, with an optional extension of up to five years.
These forward-looking statements reflect current views about future events and are, by their nature, subject to significant risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances in the future.
The overall market outlook remains stable, with some increased uncertainty. Defence, energy, industry and infrastructure are expected to continue as key drivers. Lower interest-rate expectations are anticipated to provide a more favourable environment for investment, supporting activity even though energy transition and electrification face timing risks linked to political priorities, public budgets and uncertain return of investments.
The building and property market is expected to remain challenging, with defence-related infrastructure, energy-efficiency projects and hospital developments contributes positively to the market outlook. The energy and industry market is expected to continue at a strong level, particularly within grid development, while projects linked to electrification and green transition are expected to face ongoing challenges related to political priorities, grid capacity and investment returns. The market related to business area Mobility & Transportation is anticipated to continue at a high level, although some large projects may be postponed or cancelled. Water &
Environment is expected to maintain a stable demand for water and sewage infrastructure, climate adaptation, environmental remediation and biodiversity services.
Although billing rates raised slightly during the quarter, the competitive landscape is expected to remain demanding, with pressure on margins and pricing sensitivity across architectural and engineering services. A healthy pipeline and large framework agreements should support a high level of activity. Order intake during this quarter reflects the current market situation. However, order intake is expected to remain fragmented due to the structure and timing of call-offs.
Multiconsult does not provide forecasts.
Through its business activities. Multiconsult manages a considerable contract portfolio of engineering. architectural and advisory services that is exposed to a wide variety of risk factors.

The proposed US tariff schemes towards Norway and EU are foreseen to have minimal short-term impact on Multiconsult operations. However, this may have a negative effect on parts of the private export industry, resulting in increased uncertainty and potential delays in investments.

Multiconsult ASA (the company) is a Norwegian public limited liability company listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. The company and its subsidiaries (together the Multiconsult group/ the group) are among the leading suppliers of consultancy and design services in Norway and the Nordic region. The group has subsidiaries outside the Nordic region - in Poland, United Kingdom, Portugal and Serbia.
The group prepares its consolidated annual financial statements in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU (International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS). References to IFRS in these financial statements refer to IFRS Accounting Standards as approved by the EU. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, with the exceptions presented below.
The financial statements are presented in NOK, rounded to the nearest thousand NOK, unless otherwise stated. As a result of rounding adjustments, the figures in one or more rows or columns included in the financial statements and notes may not sum exactly to the total of that row or column.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the third guarter of 2025 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 as approved by the EU. They have not been audited. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements of the group and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for
The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, significant judgements were made by management in applying the group's accounting policies. The key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those
applied to the annual consolidated financial statements for 2024 and described in note 2 in the annual consolidated financial statements.
Cash-generating units are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment exist. The estimated recoverable amounts are affected by assumptions in connection with the estimation of future cash flows, as well as the discount rate used to estimate
the present value of future cash flows. An assessment of impairment indicators was made on 30 September 2025. No impairment indicators were identified, and thereby a full test was not performed. A full impairment test is scheduled to be performed on 31 December 2025

The group's net operating revenues are affected by the number of working days in each reporting period, while employee expenses are recognised for full calendar days. The number of working days in a month is affected by public holidays and vaca-
tions. The timing of public holidays (e.g. Easter) during quarters and whether they fall on weekends or weekdays impacts revenues, earnings, cash flows and working capital balances. Generally, the company's employees are granted leave during
Easter and Christmas. The summer holidays primarily impact the month of July and the third quarter.
There were no significant events or transactions in the period.
The company holds 537 265 treasury shares on 30 September 2025. In 2015, Multiconsult ASA introduced a share purchase programme for employees. In connection with this, and over time, the company holds a variable position of treasury shares. In 2023, the programme was replaced by an employee ownership programme. This programme consists of two parts: (i) Share purchase programme and (ii) Share ownership programme. In accordance with the continuation of the share own-
ership programme, a total of 183 new employees in the third quarter 2025 have been offered 40 complimentary shares which will be handed over during the fourth quarter of 2025. During the third quarter of 2025, a total of 2 760 MULTI shares were transferred to new employees who accepted the offer received in the previous quarter.
For a description of the employee ownership programme for all employees and the performance-based bonus scheme for the group management, see note 7 in the consolidated financial statements for 2024.
For the periods presented, there are no dilutive effects on profits or number of shares. Basic and diluted earnings per share are therefore the same.

Multiconsult uses alternative performance measures for periodic and annual financial reporting in order to provide a better understanding of the group's underlying financial performance. As of the first quarter of 2024, the alternative performance
measure related to the Other OPEX ratio has been removed from this overview as underlying transactions have changed, mainly related to IT-costs, and key figures no longer provide relevant and comparable information.
