Nekkar ASA Alternative performance measures

INTRODUCTION TO ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES (APMs)
Nekkar Group (Nekkar) discloses alternative performance measures in addition to those normally required by IFRS. Nekkar is of the opinion that APMs are providing enhanced insight into the operations and prospects of the company. APMs are used as an integral part of the management and board of directors' key performance measure reporting and controls. Furthermore, securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use such performance measures.
BASIS FOR PREPARATION
This presentation provides financial highlights for the first quarter and full-year 2021 for Nekkar ASA. The consolidated financial statements for Q2 2022 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Statements, however the interim accounts do not include all the information required for a full financial statement and should therefore be read in connection with the audited consolidated financial statements of 2021.
The interim financial figures are not audited.
PROFIT MEASURES
EBITDA is short for "earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation" in the consolidated income statement.
Nekkar defines "Operational EBITDA" as EBITDA excluding losses/gain on FX contracts not qualifying for hedge accounting.
EBIT is short for "earnings before interest and taxes". EBIT corresponds to "operating profit/loss" in the consolidated income statement.
Margins such as EBITDA and EBIT are used to compare relative profit between periods. The margins are calculated as EBITDA or EBIT divided by revenue.
ORDER INTAKE MEASURES
Order intake and order backlog are presented as APMs as they are indicators of the company's revenue generation and operations in the future.
Order intake includes new signed contracts in the period, in addition to expansion of existing contracts and any cancellations of contracts. For newbuild contracts, the order intake is based on the signed contract value excluding potential options and change orders.
Order backlog represents the estimated value of remaining work for signed contracts.
