  • Temporary higher level of sickness in Netcompany Denmark and Norway impacted margin negatively by 2.5 percentage points.
  • Non-recurring adjustments to three projects in Norway impacted margin negatively by 1.5 percentage points.
  • Improved employee benefits impacted margins negatively by around 2 percentage points.

The average number of full time employees grew from 3,238 in Q2 2021 to 6,719 in Q2 2022. The acquisition of Netcompany-Intrasoft accounted for 2,965 employees of the growth while Netcompany Core accounted for 516 employees of the growth.

Netcompany maintains expectations to revenue growth and margins for 2022 on Group level.

"In Q2 2022, we grew revenue by 58% compared to Q2 2021 to DKK 1,305.8m, despite a temporary higher level of sickness in Denmark and Norway and non-recurring adjustments to three projects in Norway.

We continued to see a strong performance in our UK operation that grew more than 30% in the quarter and at the same time Netcompany-Intrasoft performed above expectations and grew close to 15% in the quarter.

Irrespective of the rapid changes occurring in the macroeconomic environment, in which we operate, we continue to see our pipeline increase across our business, hence we have continued to add new employees to the Netcompany family.

At the end of Q2 2022, the Group accounts for more than 6,700 employees including Netcompany-Intrasoft, and during the second quarter of 2022, we welcomed more than 400 new employees in Netcompany Core and more than 250 in Netcompany-Intrasoft.

Despite challenging market conditions, we remain confident that Netcompany is well situated to maintain strong growth and financial performance based on the society and business critical nature of our business, the unique delivery model and best in class employees."

André Rogaczewski NETCOMPANY CEO AND CO-FOUNDER

Reported revenue grew by 58% (constant 57.6%) to DKK 1,305.8m in Q2 2022 of which 7.3 percentage points were organic. Netcompany-Intrasoft realised revenue of DKK 419.1m and accounted for non-organic revenue growth of 50.7 percentage points in Q2 2022. Client facing FTEs in Netcompany-Core grew by 452 to 3,497 in Q2 2022.

In Q2 2022, revenue growth was negatively impacted by temporary increased level of sickness in Netcompany Core and adjustments to three projects in Norway. Combined, these events impacted the organic revenue growth negatively by 4.8 percentage points in Q2 2022.

Gross profit margin was 27.9% compared to 35.5% for the same period in 2021. As expected, Netcompany-Intrasoft realised a lower margin compared to Netcompany Core, which impacted the Group gross profit margin negatively by 3.2 percentage

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW Q2 CONTINUED

Development in gross profit margin in Q2

Revenue increased by

points. The additional decline of 4.4 percentage points in the gross profit margin was mainly driven by lower gross profit margins in Denmark and Norway, whereas the gross margin in the UK continued to improve compared to same period last year.

Sales and marketing costs increased by 56.1% to DKK 9.5m in Q2 2022, of which 9.9 percentage points were attributed to Netcompany-Intrasoft. The increased spending was driven by a wider presence in markets around Europe to expand

awareness. While the relative increase was high, the absolute amount spend on marketing remained low.

Administrative costs increased by 64.6% to DKK 198.5m in Q2 2022, of which 37.2 percentage points were attributed to Netcompany-Intrasoft, leaving the increase in Netcompany Core at 27.4% compared to Q2 2021. As was the case in Q1 2022, the comparable cost base for Q2 2021 was low compared to a "non-COVID level". Sequentially from Q1 to Q2 2022, the growth in administrative cost in Netcompany Core was lower in Q2 2022 compared to the 34.9 percentage point increase in administrative costs realised in Q1 2022.

Adjusted EBITA was DKK 156m compared to DKK 166.7m in Q2 2021 yielding an adjusted EBITA margin of 11.9% in Q2 2022 compared to 20.2% in Q2 2021. The lower adjusted EBITA margin for the Group was driven by the dilutive impact from Netcompany-Intrasoft of 0.9 percentage point and lower gross margins effects from Netcompany Core combined with a higher level of administrative costs as previously explained.

Amortisation increased by DKK 23.7m to DKK 32.7m as a result of the acquisition of Intrasoft International S.A. in 2021. The non-organic impact of including Netcompany-Intrasoft was, from an accounting perspective, less than the total amount of amortisation caused by the acquisition, as amortisation were allocated between all entities.

Operating profit (EBIT) was DKK 123.2m compared to DKK 157.7m in Q2 2021, yielding an EBIT margin of 9.4% compared to

19.1% in Q2 2021. Adjusting for the impact of Netcompany-Intrasoft, including the full amount of amortisation arising from the acquisition of Intrasoft International S.A. EBIT for Netcompany Core was DKK 104.9 yielding an EBIT margin for Netcompany Core of 11.8% for Q2 2022.

Net financials increased from DKK 6.7m in Q2 2021 to DKK 18.8m in Q2 2022 as a result of the higher amount of debt following the acquisition of Intrasoft International S.A.

Income taxes were lower in Q2 2022 compared to the same period last year. The effective tax rate for the quarter was 15.5%, which was mainly caused by a correction to Q1 2022. Adjusted for this correction, the effective tax rate was 20% in Q2 2022. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2022 was 21.9%, which was in line with expectations.

CONTINUED BUSINESS SEGMENTS Q2

Netcompany Denmark

Revenue growth in the Danish business was 6.5% and negatively impacted by the temporary increased level of sickness observed throughout Q2 compared to the level pre COVID. The negative impact hereof was more than 3 percentage points. In the end of Q2, the level of sickness began to decline towards a more normalised level. As in Q1, the private segment was the main growth driver in Denmark yielding 12.5% growth compared to Q2 2021, whereas growth in the public segment was 2.4%. A higher proportion of sickness occured in the public entity of the Danish business unit.

The level of vacation held during the second quarter was on a normal level, further supporting that revenue growth will catch up during the second half of the year relative to 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA margin was 23.5% compared to 28.5% in the same period last year. The increased level of sickness impacted margin negatively by around 2 percentage points. In addition, it was expected – and included in the margin

guidance – that improved employee benefits related to vacation and parental leave would impact margin negatively by 2-3 percentage points in 2022.

Furthermore, the return to "business as usual" – meaning no restrictions to travel, social events etc. – had a negative impact on margins compared to 2021 as administrative costs increased.

Netcompany Norway

Revenue growth in Norway was negative in Q2 2022 as a consequence of adjustments made to three larger projects that had been ongoing for some time. The adjustment impacted revenue negatively by DKK 15m in the second quarter. In addition to the adjustments, the projects were already realising lower than normal rates. With the adjustments made in Q2, it is expected that the financial performance in Norway will be normalised during the second half of 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA was negative DKK 17.3m and was impacted by the adjustment of DKK 15m made to three projects in Norway. In addition, the Norwegian business

unit was also impacted negatively by higher level of sickness as in Denmark.

Netcompany UK

As in Q1 2022, the momentum in the UK business unit was strong, which resulted in revenue growth of 30.8% in Q2 2022. The growth was driven by the public segment, which grew 80%, whereas revenue declined in the private segment by 18.5% compared to Q2 2021. Customers such as NHS and HMRC continues to drive growth in the public segment.

Adjusted EBITDA was DKK 18.7m yielding an adjusted EBITDA margin of 14.2% - an increase of 5.2 percentage points compared to last year. The increase was driven by higher utilisation and better pricing compared to Q2 2021.

Netcompany Netherlands

Revenue growth in the Netherlands was negative 12.1% compared to last year, mainly driven by a small adjustment to one project in the portfolio. The Dutch business unit remains focused solely on the public segment.

Adjusted EBITDA margin was negative – mainly caused by the adjustment made to one specific project in the portfolio. In addition, administration costs increased at a relatively high pace driven by investments in management resources, severance costs and recruitment teams needed to support continued and profitable growth going forward.

Netcompany-Intrasoft

Revenue in Q2 was DKK 419.1m compared to DKK 365.8m (proforma) in Q2 2021, which yielded a growth of 14.6% in the second quarter. The growth was driven by strong performance both within the EU and the private segment, whereas the public segment in Greece grew at a lower pace. In addition, more joint projects with Netcompany Core have been won accelerating growth further.

Adjusted EBITDA margin improved from 10.7% in Q2 2021 (proforma) to 12.4% in Q2 2022 as a result of better pricing and joint projects with Netcompany Core.

Revenue in the first six months of 2022 grew by 59.2% (constant 58.5%) and amounted DKK 2,677.2m. Non-organic revenue growth was 48.6% and organic revenue growth was 10.6% driven by a high activity level particular in the UK. The activity level in Denmark was also high, however revenue growth was negatively impacted by the temporary increased level of sickness experienced in the first six months of the year.

Gross profit margin was 29.2%, which was lower than the same period in 2021. Part of the lower margin was expected and guided for already, related to improved employee benefits. In addition, the inclusion of Netcompany-Intrasoft diluted the margin by 4.4 percentage points – which was slightly better than expected.

Adjusted EBITA was on par with the same period last year – despite higher revenue. Netcompany-Intrasoft contributed positively to adjusted EBITA. Whereas the increased level of sickness and adjustments to three projects in Norway impacted the first six months adjusted EBITA in Netcompany Core negatively with around DKK 65m or around 2 percentage points on Group adjusted EBITA margin.

CONTINUED BUSINESS SEGMENTS FIRST 6 MONTHS

Netcompany Denmark

Revenue growth in the Danish business was 8.6% and negatively impacted by the temporary increased level of sickness. During Q1 2022 a higher level of sickness not related to COVID was observed but at that time it was too early to determine whether it was a trend. The higher level of sickness continued during Q2, however, towards the end of the quarter the level began to normalise. The increased sickness impacted revenue growth negatively by more than 3% during the first six months of 2022.

The higher level of sickness also impacted adjusted EBITDA margin by around 2 percentage points. In addition, it was expected – and guided for – that margins would be negatively impacted by 2-3 percentage points in 2022, as a result of improved employee benefits introduced in Denmark at the beginning of the year, which was also materialised in the quarter.

Netcompany Norway

Revenue growth in Norway was negative by 7.2% in the first six months of 2022. The main reason for this was the adjustments made to three projects in Norway and to a lesser extent the temporary higher level of sickness. Combined, these two factors impacted revenue growth negatively by DKK 30m or 21.3 percentage points, which meant that revenue would have grown by 14% in a normalised setting.

Adjusted EBITDA margin was negative by 12.7% compared to positive 14.9% in Q2 2021. Adjusted for the two issues mentioned above, adjusted EBITDA margin was 8.3%, as some of the adjusted projects was running at very low rates. Furthermore, administrative costs have increased to a higher level due to additional management resources added and higher costs for travel and social staff events.

Netcompany UK

In the UK, revenue grew by close to 29.9% in the first six months of 2022 driven by strong performance in the public segment. Significant wins with both the NHS and HMRS established a strong foundation for the growth realised and the future growth.

Adjusted EBITDA margin also improved from 10.6% in the first six months of 2021 to 17.6% in the first six months of 2022, driven by better pricing on projects, better execution on projects, a lower level of independent contractors and higher utilisation.

Netcompany Netherlands

Revenue in the Dutch business grew by 9.8% in the first six months – negatively impacted by an adjustment to one specific project made in Q2 2022. The Dutch business is still in a "turn-around" mode with good progression towards the desired operating modus.

Adjusted EBITDA margin was negative as a consequence of both the adjustment made to one project and also higher administrative costs including severance payments, additional management resources and a higher level of recruitment activities.

Netcompany-Intrasoft

In the first six months of 2022 revenue grew by 8.7% to DKK 817.6m compared to DKK 752m (proforma) in the same period last year. The growth accelerated during Q2 as more projects were initiated after a somewhat slow start to the year. Netcompany-Intrasoft continued to win significant tenders within the EU and the private segment in Greece, while decision making in the public segment in Greece was somewhat slow – however, picking up.

Adjusted EBITDA margin was 10.5% compared to 9.7% (proforma) for the same period last year. The improved margin was a result of better pricing and more joint projects with Netcompany Core.

Revenue visibility

Netcompany measures revenue visibility on a 12 months rolling basis, based on two main input parameters, which are defined as the total value of committed engagements (which is comprised of fixed price engagements and service agreements), and ongoing time and material engagements with a high likelihood of conversion and/or prolongation, defined as non-contractual committed engagements.

By the beginning of July 2022, revenue visibility for 2022 amounted to DKK 4,976.7m, of which contractual committed revenue amounted to DKK 2,138m and non-contractual committed engagements amounted to DKK 161.5m, while realised revenue in the first six months of 2022 amounted to DKK 2,677.2m.

Compared to Q2 2021, revenue visibility improved by 62.4% from DKK 3,064.5m for 2021 to DKK 4,976.7m for 2022. While 11.6 percentage points of the improvement was organic, 50.8 percentage points was directly attributable to Netcompany-Intrasoft.

DKK million

Revenue visibility in the public segment amounted to DKK 3,414.7m, of which contractual committed revenue amounted to DKK 1,617m and non-contractual committed engagements amounted to DKK 86.3m, while realised revenue in Q2 2022 amounted to DKK 1,711.5m.

Revenue visibility in the private segment amounted to DKK 1,562m, of which contractual committed revenue amounted to DKK 521m and non-contractual committed engagements amounted to DKK 75.2m, while realised revenue in Q2 2022 amounted to 965.7m.

By the beginning of July 2022, the total order backlog for Netcompany-Intrasoft amounted DKK 7,379.2m mainly within EU institutions. Of the total order backlog for Netcompany-Intrasoft DKK 738.1m is expected to be released in the last six month of 2022.

Employees

Netcompany employed an average of 6,719 FTEs in Q2 2022, which was an increase of 3,481 FTEs compared to Q2 2021 (3,238 FTEs). The increase in FTEs was driven by the acquisition of Intrasoft in October 2021 accounting for more than 2,950 FTEs.

Out of the 2,950+ employees in Netcompany-Intrasoft, around 650 were either freelancers or Benelux contractors.

The number of client facing employees for the Group increased by 3,236 from 3,045 in Q2 2021 to 6,281 in Q2 2022. of which the Netcompany-Intrasoft impacted by more than 2,750 client facing employees.

The level of non-client facing employees was 6.5% in Q2 2022 compared to 5.9% in Q2 2021. On a sequentially basis the level of non-client employees decreased from 6.6% in Q1 2022.

Attrition rates in all countries increased in Q2 2022, as rates in the first half of 2021 was significantly lower than normally, due to a higher number of voluntary leavers in a tighter labour market post COVID-19.

The average attrition rate was 23.9% compared to 18.3% during the same period last

Avg. FTEs increased to 6,719 during Q2 2022 Avg. FTEs increased to 6,616 during 2022

year. The attrition rate for Netcompany Core during the last 12 months was 26%, which was an increase of 7.7 percentage points compared to the same period last year. The attrition rate for Netcompany-Intrasoft was 21.3% corresponding to an increase of 1.8 percentage points compared to Q1 2022.

Rolling three months churn rates have declined during Q2 2022 and churn rates are expected to be reduced further during the remainder of 2022.

Cash flow and other significant financial positions

Free cash flow and cash conversion rate1

The Group generated a free cash flow of DKK 7.3m in Q2 2022, compared to negative DKK 10.2m in Q2 2021. Netcompany-Intrasoft impacted the free cash flow negatively by DKK 29.7m, hence Netcompany Core generated a free cash flow of DKK 36.7m in Q2 2022.

Adjusted for taxes paid on account1 , the Group generated a free cash flow of negative DKK 20.5m in Q2 2022 compared to negative DKK 49.2m in Q2 2021.

The increase in free cash flow adjusted for taxes paid on account was driven by a less negative development in working capital changes compared to the same period last year. The negative development in working capital changes in Q2 2022 was driven by an increase of DKK 189m in trade receivables from DKK 906.7m by the end of Q1 2022 to DKK 1,095.7m, which was partly offset by a decrease in work in progress of DKK 69m from DKK 840.2m by the end of Q1 2022 to DKK 771.2m. The development in working capital changes

was slightly offset by the increased capex mainly caused by DKK 19.9m in self developed platforms capitalised in Netcompany-Intrasoft.

Cash conversion rate increased from -8.5% in Q2 2021 to 6.6% in Q2 2022. Adjusted for taxes paid on account, cash conversion rate increased from negative 41.2% in Q2 2021 to negative 18.5% in Q2 2022.

Trade receivables

At the end of Q2 2022, the Group trade receivables, excluding expected credit losses, increased by 87% to DKK 1,116.1m. The increase was partly caused by the acquisition of Intrasoft having trade receivables excluding expected credit losses of DKK 399.6m by the end of Q2 2022, which on a sequentially basis corresponded to an increase of 38.9% compared to trade receivables in Netcompany-Intrasoft by the end of Q1 2022.

In Netcompany Core, trade receivables excluding expected credit losses increased by 20.1% to DKK 716.5m compared to

the same period last year. The increase was caused by work in progress being invoiced.

Days sales outstanding increased from 65 days in Q2 2021 to 77 days in Q2 2022. The overdue part of trade receivables increased from 29.8% by the end of Q2 2021 to 39.7% by the end of Q2 2022 mainly driven by Netcompany-Intrasoft. The overdue part of trade receivables in Netcompany Core was 32.6%, which was on level with 29.8% in the same period last year.

Trade receivables paid subsequently in July 2022 amounted to DKK 476.1m of which DKK 243.7m was overdue as of 30 June 2022. Payments received in the following month, slightly decreased to 42.7% of total trade receivables compared to 49.1% in the same period in 2021.

Taxes paid within the Group are, due to local tax regulations, paid on account in Q1 and in Q4. To adjust for this timing mismatch between expensed and paid corporate income taxes the free cash flow should be viewed in a tax normalised manner to better reflect the underlying development in free cash flow based on operations rather than impact from local tax legislation in Denmark.

CASH FLOW AND OTHER SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL POSITIONS CONTINUED

Work in progress

At 30 June 2022, Netcompany's work in progress amounted to DKK 771.2m, represented by contract work in progress of DKK 1,144.3m and prepayments received from customers of DKK 373.2m.

Work in progress increased by 69.6% from DKK 454.6m in Q2 2021 to DKK 771.2m in Q2 2022, driven by the inclusion of work in progress from Netcompany-Intrasoft. In the same period, revenue increased by 58% from DKK 826.7m in Q2 2021 to DKK

Work in progress overview (DKK million)

1,305.8m in Q2 2022, while revenue for the last 12 months increased by 46.9%.

As a total, trade receivables and work in progress increased by 78.6% from DKK 1,045.5m at the end of Q2 2021 to DKK 1,866.9m end of Q2 2022. The increase was mainly driven by the inclusion of Intrasoft.

Funding and liquidity

During Q2 2022, Netcompany completed the scheduled refinancing of current debt to banks. The terms and margins within the signed Group facility agreement were slightly improved and now also involves ESG measures. The new facility agreement consist of committed facilities constituting of DKK 2,800m and an additional facility of DKK 2,000m, available only for new acquisitions.

At 30 June 2022, DKK 2,173.8m of the committed lines were utilised on borrowings and DKK 236.7m on guarantees, leaving a total of DKK 2,380.5m available in unutilised funding of which DKK 380.5m can be utilised for normal operations if needed with no additional costs or covenants.

In addition, Netcompany-Intrasoft had drawn DKK 51.7m on local facilities and DKK 246.6m on local guarantees, having

no impact on the Group facilities except the leverage.

Including net cash balance as of 30 June 2022 of DKK 250.6m available funding was DKK 1,031m.

Risk management

Please refer to the overview of risk factors provided by the Group in the Annual Report for 2021.

Capital structure

As a consequence of the acquisition of Intrasoft, the debt ratio increased to 2.4x at the end of Q2 2022, which is fully compliant with current covenants. The ratio was calculated as debt excluding utilised guarantees against 12 months rolling adjusted EBITA.

During Q2 2022, Netcompany executed yet another share buyback programme of DKK 50.7m.

Revenue growth in Netcompany Core was slightly below expectations in Q2 2022, whereas revenue growth in Netcompany-Intrasoft was above expectations. Taking this into account, revenue growth for the Group is in line with expectations and supports the guidance for the full year.

The temporary higher level of sickness impacting Netcompany Core during the first 6 months of the year and the adjustments to three projects in Norway had an unexpected impact on margins. This was somewhat offset by better than expected margins in the UK and in Netcompany-Intrasoft.

However, a continued high level of sickness in Netcompany Core in the remaining part of the year - as seen in the first half of 2022 - will have a negative impact on margins. Towards the end of Q2, sickness level began to normalise and for the remaining part of the year our assumption is that sickness will normalise during Q3, hence Netcompany maintains guidance for Group margin.

In addition, the uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment in the markets, in which we operate, might lead to a recession, which potentially could have a negative impact on the margins too.

Apart from the risks to the guidance as outlined above, a number of more general risks were outlined in the Annual Report for 2021. These risks still exist and might impact the performance for the full year as well.
