For 2023, Netcompany expects revenue growth in constant currencies of between 8% and 12% - all organic.

Adjusted EBITDA margin measured in constant currencies is expected to be between 15% and 18%.

"We ended the year strong and in line with our expectations driven by continued strong performance throughout the Group, particularly in Netcompany-Intrasoft and the UK.

Despite unprecedented high uncertainty observed in 2022, we realised close to 53% revenue growth and a margin above 20% - as outlined in the beginning of 2022, which makes me really proud.

Results like these are not easily achieved, and they are a true testimony to the outstanding talent that our more than 7,500 employees possess. Together with our customers they define the digitalisation agenda in Europe and in close collaboration they realise benefits associated hereto.

From a macroeconomic perspective, 2023 looks to be even more challenging than the last two years, which is reflected in our expectations for the financial performance. Despite the gloomy outlook we still expect to grow between 8% and 12%.

We also will continue to make investments into future proofing our offerings and solutions and hence expect our margins to be between 15% and 18% next year.

It is my firm belief that the future will be driven by digitalisation, and I am confident that courage to invest into long term objectives, will bring Netcompany closer to realise our aspiration of being a European IT market leader."

André Rogaczewski NETCOMPANY CEO AND CO-FOUNDER

*Constant currencies measured using average exchange rates for Q4 2021

Reported revenue grew 31.9% (constant 32.5%) in Q4 2022 to DKK 1,519.3m of which 18.9 percentage points was organic. Client facing FTEs increased by 35.4% due to the inclusion of Netcompany-Intrasoft, which only imacted part of Q4 2021. Normalised for this, client facing FTEs increased by 15%. End of Q4, total FTEs amounted to more than 7,300.

Gross profit margin was 34.2%, which was slightly better than the same period in 2021 where gross profit margin was 33.5%, despite the dilutive impact of 1.8 percentage point to gross profit margin from Netcompany-Intrasoft. Lower variable remuneration reduced costs of services and was contributing to the improved gross profit margin.

Sales and marketing costs were 35.7% lower than the same period in 2021 at DKK 12.1m, which was more a result of large one-off costs realised in Q4 2021 than a sustainable lower level of spend for sales and marketing costs. Sequentially from Q3 to Q4 sales and marketing costs increased by 14% and reflect the continued investment into enhancing the brand position of Netcompany outside of Denmark.

CONTINUED PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW Q4

Administrative costs increased by 26.8% of which Netcompany-Intrasoft accounted for 8.2 percentage points. Lower variable remuneration reduced administrative costs, which led to the lower than otherwise anticipated growth in administrative costs.

Adjusted EBITA increased 47% to DKK 309.1m yielding an adjusted EBITA margin of 20.3% compared to 18.3% in Q4 2021. Netcompany-Intrasoft impacted adjusted EBITA margin negatively by 1.6 percentage points. The overall improved adjusted EBITA margin was driven by better performance in both Netcompany Core and Netcompany-Intrasoft in Q4 2022 compared to the same period last year.

Amortisation was DKK 33.8m compared to DKK 24.3m for the same period last year. The increase of 39.4% compared to last year is a consequence of Netcompany-Intrasoft only being included by 2 months in 2021. Sequentially from Q3 to Q4 amortisation were DKK 1.1m lower in Q4 2022.

Operating profit (EBIT) increased by 58.1% in Q4 2022 to DKK 281.6m compared to DKK 178.1m in Q4 2021. EBITA margin was 20.8% compared to 17.6% in Q4 2021. Margins were better in both Netcompany Core and Netcompany-Intrasoft compared to Q4 2021.

Net financials were negative DKK 22.6m compared to negative DKK 13.9m for the same period last year. The main reason for the increased financial costs was full interest costs related to the loan obtained to finance the acquisition of Intrasoft International A.S, which only partially impacted Q4 2021 as the transaction was executed 31 October 2021.

A fair value adjustment of DKK 7.9m impacted the result negatively in Q4 2022. The adjustment reflected an increase in the final contingent consideration of the purchase price of QDelft (Netcompany Netherlands) acquired in 2019 and was based on the actual performance for the period 2020 to 2022. There are no more potential adjustments outstanding.

Income from investment in joint venture of DKK 4.5m was a result of underlying business activity in Smarter Airports – the joint venture that Netcompany has with Copenhagen Airport.

Income taxes in Q4 2022 was DKK 41m, which was 17.2% higher than Q4 2021. The underlying taxable income did not increase with the same absolute value as income before tax due to various timing differences when completing the calculation of taxable income for the Group. Consequently, effective income tax rate was slightly lower at 16% in Q4 2022 compared to 18.5% in Q4 2021.

CONTINUED BUSINESS SEGMENTS Q4

Netcompany Denmark

Revenue growth in the Danish business unit was 12.7% driven by strong growth in the private segment that grew 13.9% and continued growth in the public segment that grew 11.9%. As the rest of society, Netcompany also experienced elevated levels of sickness during Q4, particularly in the month of December.

The level of uncertainty among existing and prospective customers has increased during the last quarter of the year, however still with no significant reduction in backlog and pipeline as of yet.

Adjusted EBITDA margin was 31.6% compared to 31.3% in Q4 2021. Lower variable remuneration impacted cost of services and administrative costs positively and offset the impact from lower utilisation in the quarter.

Netcompany Norway

Revenue growth in Netcompany Norway was 33.2% in Q4 2022 compared to the same period last year. As in previous quarters growth was driven by the private segment in Norway that grew more than

200% - albeit from a very low level. Revenue in the public segment declined 3.7% in Q4 2022. Elevated levels of sickness during Q4, was also observed in Norway, particularly in the month of December.

During Q4 the majority of the 70 new starters as highlighted in the Q3 earnings report were utilised on projects driving the overall utilisation up. There are still improvements to be achieved, as all new starters are expected to be fully utilised during the first quarter of 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA margin was 6.6% compared to negative 0.1% in Q4 2021 as utilisation improved.

Netcompany UK

In the UK, the strong growth momentum observed during the year, continued during Q4 and revenue grew 32.9% compared to the same period last year. Where growth was mainly driven by the public segment thus far in the UK, the private segment grew 50.9% in Q4 as a number of large private enterprises were onboarded. Growth in the public segment continued at a strong pace and grew 26.4%.

Adjusted EBITDA margin continued to improve and was positively impacted by a few projects being completed ahead of estimated time, impacting margin positively. In addition, the level of work conducted from home or at client sites continued to be high, reducing the need for additional office space despite client facing FTEs growing close to 24%.

Utilisation remained high and consequently adjusted EBITDA margin for Q4 2022 was 19.3% compared to 15.5% in the same period last year.

Netcompany Netherlands

Revenue in the Dutch business unit grew 34.5% in Q4 2022. Growth was – in line with previous quarters – generated in the public segment that grew by 51.2%. The private segment was further reduced and accounts for only DKK 0.6m in Q4 2022.

As the large fixed price projects that have been problematic were completed, utilisation and average rates improved, which led to an improvement in the underlying financial performance of the Dutch operating in Q4 – and going forward.

Consequently, adjusted EBITDA margin was substantially improved from negative 23.7% to negative 2.2% in Q4 2022.

Netcompany-Intrasoft

Revenue in Netcompany-Intrasoft grew by 78.7% to DKK 510.4m in Q4 2022, however Q4 2021 only included the months of November and December. On a proforma basis revenue grew from DKK 409.8m to DKK 510.4m – or 24.5%. Organic revenue growth for the months of November and December was 26.3%.

The growth in Q4 was driven by strong performance in the private and public segment while the EU segment grew at normal pace. In addition, revenue growth was accelerated as revenue from license sales was recognised in the quarter and technical equipment as part of one specific project was "passed through" as revenue in Q4 also.

Adjusted EBITDA margin was 15.4% in Q4 2022 compared to 9.7% in the same period last year. The recognition of licenses in the income statement in Q4 were a material driver of the increase in margin.

Revenue grew 52.7% in 2022 (constant 52.5%) to DKK 5,544.6m. Organic revenue growth was 14.9% and non-organic revenue growth was 37.8%. High level of activity in Netcompany UK and Netcompany-Intrasoft were the main growth drivers.

Gross profit margin was 32% compared to 36.7% for the same period last year. The inclusion of Netcompany-Intrasoft was the main reason for the lower margin and accounted for 4.3 percentage points of the total decline of 4.7%. Lower utilisation in Netcompany Core was somewhat offset by lower variable remuneration.

Adjusted EBITA was 22% higher in 2022 than in 2021 at DKK 967.6m yielding a margin of 17.5% compared to 21.8% in 2021. Netcompany-Intrasoft had a dilutive impact on adjusted EBITA margin of 3.2 percentage points. The remaining decline was driven by lower margins in Denmark and Norway, which to some extent was offset by better margins in the UK and in the Netherlands.

Despite a dilutive margin impact from including Netcompany-Intrasoft, margin in Netcompany-Intrasoft still improved in 2022 compared to last year.

CONTINUED BUSINESS SEGMENTS 12 MONTHS

Netcompany Denmark

Revenue growth in the Danish business unit was 11.1%, driven by the private segment that grew 13% compared to 2021. The public segment grew 9.7%. Despite an improvement in the level of sickness in the second part of 2022 the absence level was higher in 2022 than in 2021 impacting revenue growth negatively.

Adjusted EBITDA margin was 30.2% compared to 32% in 2021. Lower variable remuneration had a positive impact on margin whereas the higher level of absence had a negative impact on utilisation and hence margin.

Netcompany Norway

In Norway, revenue growth was 8.9%, which was lower than in previous years and lower than expected. The lower growth was mainly a result of project clean ups made in Q2 2022 on three fixed price projects. In addition, a higher absence level in 2022 than in 2021 had a dilutive impact on utilisation and revenue growth.

Adjusted EBITDA margin was negative 4.2% compared to 9.4% in 2021. The project clean ups were the main driver of lower margin. Lower of variable remuneration partially offset the negative impact.

Netcompany UK

Revenue growth in the UK was 31.7% based on strong growth in the public segment that grew by 60.9%. In the private segment revenue declined by 6.5%. Despite declining revenue in the UK private segment, the private market remains highly interesting, which led to growth in Q4 in isolation.

Adjusted EBITDA margin improved by more than 5 percentage points from 12.7% in 2021 to 18% in 2022. High utilisation, better pricing, and strong project execution were driving the improvement in margin.

Netcompany Netherlands

In the Netherlands revenue grew 25.1% in 2022 compared to 2021, albeit from a low comparable level. Growth was solely driven by the public segment as there currently is no private segment business in the Dutch operation.

Adjusted EBITDA margin improved from negative 17.1% in 2021 to negative 11.3% in 2022. The completion of fixed price projects with low margins during the year had a positive impact on utilisation and average rates and thereby a positive impact on margin.

Netcompany-Intrasoft

Revenue growth in Netcompany-Intrasoft was 12.4% based on 2021 pro-forma basis. The growth was driven by strong performance in the EU and in the private segment whereas the public segment grew slower due to delays in projects in Greece under the RRF program.

Growth accelerated in Q4 driven by software license sales and passthrough of technical equipment for one specific project.

Adjusted EBITDA margin was improved from 9.7% in 2021 to 11.9% in 2022 mainly due to the positive impact on margin that the software sales had in Q4 2022.

Revenue visibility

Netcompany measures revenue visibility on a 12-month rolling basis, based on two main input parameters, defined as total value of committed engagements, which comprise of fixed price engagements and service agreements, and ongoing time and material engagements with a high likelihood of conversion and/ or prolongation, defined as total value of planned continued engagements.

Revenue visibility for 2023 amounts to DKK 4,179.9m, of which contractual committed revenue amounts to DKK 3,753.1m and non-contractual committed engagements amounts to DKK 426.8m.

Revenue visibility improved by 9.3% from DKK 3,824.8m for 2022 to DKK 4,179.9m for 2023.

Revenue visibility for 2023 in the public segment amounts to DKK 2,890.1m, of which contractual committed revenue amounts to DKK 2,670.6m and non-contractual committed engagements amounts to DKK 219.5m.

DKK million

Revenue visibility for 2023 in the private segment amounts to DKK 1,289.7m, of which contractual committed revenue amounts to DKK 1,082.5m and non-contractual committed engagements amounts to DKK 207.3m.

Public segment Private segment Total segment

In 2023, DKK 1,547.5m is expected to be released from the Netcompany-Intrasoft order backlog, mainly within EU institutions. Of the total order backlog for Netcompany-Intrasoft DKK 6,123.7m is expected to be released in the period from 2024 to 2029.

Employees

Netcompany employed an average of 7,353 FTEs in Q4 2022, which was an increase of 1,936 FTEs compared to Q4 2021 (5,417). The increase in FTE's was mainly driven by the acquisition of Netcompany-Intrasoft in October 2021 accounting for more than 3,200 FTEs.

Out of the more than 3,200 employees in Netcompany-Intrasoft, around 725 were either freelancers or Benelux contractors. The number of client facing employees for the Group was 6,871, which was an increase of 1,797 compared to Q4 2021 5,074, mainly driven by the acquisition of Netcompany-Intrasoft. The level of non-client facing employees were 6.5% in Q4 2022, compared to 6.3% in Q4 2021. On a sequentially basis, the level of non-client facing employees decreased from Q3 2022, where the level was 6.6%.

12 months rolling churn for Netcompany Core was 22.8% compared to 22.9% in 2021. In Netcompany-Intrasoft churn was unchanged compared to 2021 at 19%.

As expected, the attrition rate continued to decline in Q4. The three months rolling churn for Netcompany Core and Netcompany-Instrasoft was 14.2% and 14.1%, respectively.

Cash flow and other significant financial positions

Free cash flow and cash conversion rate1

The Group generated a free cash flow of DKK 323.4m in Q4 2022, which was an increase of 140% compared to DKK 134.7m in Q4 2021. Adjusted for taxes paid on account, the Group generated a free cash flow of DKK 361.4m in Q4 2022 compared to DKK 160.9m in Q4 2021, corresponding to a increase in free cash flow of 124.6%. The increase was driven by a higher operating result and an improvement in working capital changes compared to the same period last year. Changes in working capital were mainly driven by the development in net contract work in progress, which decreased from DKK 842.7 million end of Q3 2022 to DKK 681 million end of Q4 2022. In addition, faster collection of receivables also improved working capital changes.

Cash conversion rate improved from 78% in Q4 2021 to 133.7% in Q4 2022. Adjusted for the taxes paid on account and the fair value adjustments of the purchase price of the acquired Netcompany Netherlands

(QDelft B.V.) recognised in both 2021 and 2022, cash conversion rate increased from 112.3% in Q4 2021 to 144.7% in Q4 2022.

For the full year, Netcompany generated a free cash flow of DKK 602.7m corresponding to an increase of DKK 194.7m compared to 2021 driven by improved earnings and improved working capital management.

Cash conversion ratio increased from 66.4% in 2021 to 85.2% in 2022. Adjusting for the fair value adjustments of the contingent consideration, cash conversion ratio for 2021 and 2022 would have been 94.3% compared to 89.8%, respectively.

Trade receivables

At 31 December 2022, Group trade receivables increased 7.8% from DKK 1,031.9m to DKK 1,112m. In the same period revenue increased by 31.9%, and 18.9% organically.

The lower increase in trade receivable compared to revenue was a result faster

collection of receivables which also impacted days sales outstanding positively.

Days sales outstanding decreased from 81.7 days in Q4 2021 to 66.8 days in Q4 2022.

The overdue part of trade receivables excluding expected credit losses decreased from 35.6% by the end of Q4 2021 to 33.9% by the end of Q4 2022.

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

Financial performance 2022

With the acquisition of Intrasoft International S.A in November 2021 a range of detailed performance metrics were introduced for 2022, with the ambition to create full transparency of the performance of Netcompany-Intrasoft as a standalone business. During the year, more business than anticipated was done as joint projects shifting revenue and margins from Netcompany Core to Netcompany-Intrasoft, making it less relevant to view performance against individual targets but rather focus on targets for the Group all together.

Group revenue grew by 52.5% in constant currencies in 2022 – well within the guided range of 48% and 56% as set out in the beginning of the year, and slightly above the narrowed guidance range between 50% and 52% as communicated in connection with the Q3 2022 report.

Group adjusted EBITDA margin in constant currencies was slightly above 20% also in line with the original guided target of above 20% as set out in the beginning of the year and reiterated in connection with the Q3 2022 report.

Guidance 2023

The financial guidance for the Group for 2023 is based on an assumption that Europe will be in a recession for part of the year. While it is expected that the demand for continued digitalisation of both societies and enterprises will continue to be present it is inherently difficult to predict timing of new projects in a recession scenario, which is reflected in our expectations for 2023.

It is also anticipated that the recession will lead to more "wait and see" situations related to decisions on when to initiate new projects with our customers, which potentially will have negative impact on

CONTINUED 2022 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND GUIDANCE 2023

revenue growth and margin. It is further anticipated that price adjustments will be lower than underlying CPIs as a recessionary market makes large 1:1 CPI-based price increases difficult.

The Group does not expect any non-organic contribution to revenue growth or margin for 2023.

Fewer working days in Denmark, Norway and UK will have a negative impact on margin of around 0.5 percentage point.

Salary costs are expected to increase more than normal as a combination of regular salary increases and increase of variable remuneration. This will impact margin by around 1.5 percentage points.

The move to a new corporate headquarter in Copenhagen is expected to have a dilutive impact on margin of around 0.5 percentage point.

The introduction of the new "Go-To-Market" approach requires investments in 2023 and is expected to impact margin

negatively by around 0.5 percentage point.

Investments into new office facilities for Netcompany-Intrasoft and investment into a common administrative IT infrastructure for Netcompany-Intrasoft is expected to impact margins negatively by around 0.5 percentage point.

Expected discontinuation of Netcompany-Intrasoft in Africa and the Middle East is of minor impact and is included in the guidance.

For 2023, Netcompany expects to grow revenue in constant currencies by between 8% and 12% and expect adjusted EBITDA margin to be between 15% and 18%.

Free cash flow from operations is expected to increase in absolute terms from the level of 2022. Free cash flow will for all material matters be used to deleverage significantly from the level of 1.6 at the end of 2022.

The Group does not expect to initiate any share buyback programmes or to pay out dividends during 2023. Netcompany's expectations for 2023 reflects an unprecedented uncertainty in Europe, not only related to macroeconomic factors but also to continued high uncertainty regarding the geopolitical environment in Europe as well as globally, which might have even further negative spillover effects on Europe.
