Company announcement 9/2017 Søborg/Copenhagen, October 26, 2017
Financial report for the first nine months of 2017
NNIT delivers organic revenue growth of 2.1% and an operating profit margin of 7.9% in the first nine months of 2017.
Performance highlights for the first nine months of 2017
- Revenue increased by 4.2% in reported currencies being impacted by a one-off revenue reversal of DKK 33m regarding a settlement with a customer in the public customer group, see company announcement 8/2017
- Excluding this one-off reversal, revenue increased by 5.9%, hereof 3.7% organic, to DKK 2,113m. Revenue increased by 13% from customers outside the Novo Nordisk Group while revenue from the Novo Nordisk Group decreased by 3.0%
- Operating profit margin was 7.9% in reported currencies compared to 9.8% in 9M 2016. Excluding the one-off revenue reversal operating profit margin was 9.3%
- Net profit decreased by 9.3% to DKK 130m due to the one-off revenue reversal. Excluding the revenue reversal net profit increased by 8.6% to DKK 156m
- Underlying free cash flow for 9M 2017 improved by DKK 37m to DKK 155m compared to 9M 2016. Including the acquisition of SCALES and investment in a new data center the free cash flow was DKK -78m in 9M 2017. The one-off revenue reversal did not impact the free cash flow in 9M 2017
- Order backlog for 2017 at the beginning of Q4 2017 was DKK 2,750m, an increase of 3.3% compared to the same time last year. The negative impact of the one-off revenue reversal was 1.2pp
- Outlook for 2017 is maintained compared to company announcement 8/2017:
- Revenue growth of 4-6% in constant currencies with expected organic revenue growth of 1-3%. The settlement has a one-off negative impact of around 1.2pp
- Expected operating profit margin of around 9% in constant currencies. The settlement has a one-off negative impact of around 1.0pp
- The expected level of investments in 2017 is maintained at 15-17% with an expected organic investment level of 12-14% of total revenue as the majority of investments related to an additional data center will impact 2017
- NNIT believes the long-term target of growing revenue by at least 5% is still achievable. However, continued low visibility in terms of sales of services to Novo Nordisk for 2018 makes it uncertain at this point of time whether NNIT will be able to meet this long-term target in 2018
Per Kogut, CEO at NNIT says about the financial statement: "Generating 2% organic growth and an operating profit margin of 7.9% in the first nine months of the year due to a DKK 33m revenue reversal in a settlement of a three-year old arbitration with a client is not satisfactory. The settlement has a one-off impact and we can now continue our strategic journey. It is thus comforting to see several recent contract wins and promising growth within the international life sciences customer group, however we have hard work in front of us."

Guidance 2017
The order backlog for 2017 at the beginning of Q4 2017 increased by DKK 87m, equal to 3.3%, to DKK 2,750m compared to the order backlog for 2016 at the beginning of Q4 2016. The acquisition of SCALES contributes to a growth in the order backlog of 1.9pp and the one-off revenue reversal of DKK 33m impacted the order backlog growth negatively by 1.2pp, thus the underlying organic growth in the order backlog was 2.6%. Order backlog from the Novo Nordisk Group was 2.8% lower while the order backlog from other customers was 8.3% higher.
The revenue guidance for 2017 is 4-6% in constant currencies with expected organic growth of 1-3%. Due to lower expected revenue from the Novo Nordisk Group and the one-off revenue reversal of DKK 33m regarding a customer in the public customer group (see company announcement 8/2017), the guidance for 2017 organic growth is below the long-term target for revenue growth of at least 5%. As a consequence of the expected lower level in revenue from higher margin projects in the Novo Nordisk Group, the revenue reversal and price reductions on existing customer contracts, the operating profit margin in constant currencies is under increasing pressure and is expected to be around 9%. Excluding the revenue reversal operating profit is expected to be around 10.0% in line with guidance in the Q2 2017 report.
NNIT believes the long-term target of growing revenue by at least 5% is still achievable. However, continued low visibility in terms of sales of services to Novo Nordisk for 2018 makes it uncertain at this point in time whether NNIT will be able to meet this long-term target in 2018. The long-term operating profit margin target of at least 10% is maintained as a positive impact from the operational excellence program in IT Operation Services and other implemented efficiency measures will impact 2018 and onwards.

The impact of the one-off revenue reversal of DKK 33m is 1.2pp on revenue growth and 1.0pp on operating profit margin.
*Constant currencies measured using average exchange rates for 2016
**Based on exchange rates as of October 19, 2017 as illustrated under key currency assumptions on page 23
*** Investments including new customer, data center investments and the acquisition of SCALES are in 2017 expected to be between 15-17 percent of total revenue. Around 7pp relates to the data center investment of around DKK 200m in 2017 and around 3pp relates to the acquisition of SCALES. The total data center investment is expected to be around DKK 250m in the period 2016 to 2018.

Highlights
Below are the key highlights for Q3 2017 and the order backlog for 2017 at the beginning of Q4 2017.
Sales
The order backlog for 2017 at the beginning of Q4 2017 increased by DKK 87m to DKK 2,750m which is a growth of 3.3% compared to the order backlog for 2016 at the beginning of Q4 2016. The increase is primarily due to contract wins with new customers as well as expansion of contracts with existing customers in the enterprise and other life sciences customer groups. Further, SCALES has increased the backlog with around 1.9pp while the one-off revenue reversal of DKK 33m has decreased the backlog with around 1.2pp.
At the beginning of Q4 2017 the order backlog for 2018 and 2019 was 6.2% lower than the order backlog for 2017 and 2018 at the beginning of Q4 2016. The backlog growth is impacted by the expiry of several large outsourcing contracts which have not yet been renegotiated or retendered. Renewal of these contracts will increase the order backlog.
Key wins in Q3 2017:
- Infrastructure outsourcing contract with a new international life science customer representing a mid-size double-digit DKKm amount over a 5-year-period supporting NNIT's strategy regarding international life science growth. Mentioned in the Q2 2017 report
- New infrastructure outsourcing contract with Novo Holdings A/S representing a mid-size double-digit DKKm amount over a 5-year-period
- New GxP application outsourcing contract with an existing international life science customer representing a mid-size double-digit DKKm amount over a 5 year-period
- New Compliance-as-a-Service contract with an existing international life science customer representing a minor double-digit DKKm amount over a 3-year-period
- New SAP Advanced Track and Trace for Pharmaceuticals (SAP ATTP) implementation project with an existing international life science customer representing a minor double-digit DKKm, which will run until March 2019
- Extension of SAP outsourcing contract with an enterprise customer representing a mid-size double-digit DKKm amount over a 6-year-period
Other business
- After a public tender, the DSB infrastructure contract was awarded to another IT service vendor. The current contract has a high double-digit DKKm revenue in 2017 and will be phased out gradually until beginning of 2019 with the largest impact coming in 2019
- October 20, 2017 NNIT settled an arbitration with a public customer. As a consequence of the settlement, NNIT makes a one-off revenue reversal of DKK 33m impacting operating profit negatively by DKK 33m, see company announcement 8/2017. This arbitration case and potential outcomes of the case were mentioned in NNIT's IPO prospectus and in note 5 in quarterly announcements following the IPO
Organization
As of November 1, 2017 Claus Middelboe Andersen will join NNIT as Senior Vice President and Head of IT Solution Services. He comes from a position as CIO at SKAT (Danish Tax Authorities).

*Before revenue reversal of DKK 33m in Q3 2017 regarding a settlement with a public customer (see company announcement 8/2017)
Revenue in reported currencies increased by 0.2% in Q3 2017 (0.5% in constant currencies) being impacted negatively by the one-off revenue reversal of DKK 33m corresponding to 4.9pp and positively impacted by 4.6pp from SCALES. Adjusting for these impacts the underlying organic growth was 0.4% in reported currencies due to a decline in revenue from the Novo Nordisk Group of 2.3% and an increase in revenue from other customers of 2.6%.
9M 2017, revenue increased by 4.2% (4.3% in constant currencies) again being impacted negatively by the one-off revenue reversal of DKK 33m corresponding to 1.7pp and positively impacted with 2.2pp from SCALES. Adjusting for these impacts the underlying organic growth was 3.7% in reported currencies due to a declinining revenue from the Novo Nordisk Group of 3.0% while other customers increased by 9.4%.
Operating profit margin in reported currencies was 4.5% in Q3 2017 (4.0% in constant currencies) and 7.9% in 9M 2017 (7.6% in constant currencies) negatively impacted by

the one-off revenue reversal of DKK 33m compared to 10.3% in Q3 2016 and 9.8% in 9M 2016. Adjusting for the revenue reversal the operating profit margin was 9.0% in Q3 2017 and 9.3% in 9M 2017.
For a detailed performance overview in both reported and constant currencies please see note 8 on page 25. Comparisons in this financial report are hereafter in reported currencies. NNIT's major currencies have depreciated giving operating profit margin in 9M 2017 a tailwind of 0.3pp whereas the impact on revenue growth was 0.1pp headwind.
Cost of goods sold increased by 7.1% in Q3 2017 and 9M 2017 compared to the same periods last year. The gross profit margin was 13.8% in Q3 2017 (19.4% in Q3 2016) and 16.8% in 9M 2017 (19.0% in 9M 2016). The decrease in gross profit margin for 9M 2017 was among others driven by the one-off revenue reversal, a reduction in the level of higher margin projects from the Novo Nordisk Group, increased low margin hardware revenue from the Novo Nordisk Group, price reductions in certain outsourcing contracts and onboarding of new customers. The decline in gross profit margin will be sought mitigated through continued development of focused offerings to life sciences and other customer groups as well a selective approach in bidding on public tenders. Adjusting for the revenue reversal the gross profit margin was 17.8% in Q3 2017 and 18.1% in 9M 2017.
Sales and marketing costs increased by 7.4% in Q3 2017 and 1.6% in 9M 2017 mainly due to a strengthening of the sales force especially within international life sciences to support future growth.
Administrative expenses decreased by 1.6% in Q3 2017 and increased by 0.6% in 9M 2017 compared to the same periods last year. The decrease in Q3 2017 was mainly due to timing of expenses and cost cautiousness in general.
Operating profit in Q3 2017 decreased by 56% to DKK 30.6m corresponding to an operating profit margin of 4.5% compared to 10.3% in Q3 2016 mainly due to the oneoff revenue reversal of DKK 33m in Q3 2017. This led to an operating profit 9M 2017 of DKK 163.6m corresponding to an operating profit margin of 7.9% compared to 9.8% in 9M 2016. The negative development in the gross margin is the main driver of the decrease in the operating profit margin. Adjusting for the revenue reversal the operating profit margin was 9.0% in Q3 2017 and 9.3% in 9M 2017.
Net financials in Q3 2017 were positive DKK 3.6m which is an improvement of DKK 6.3m compared to Q3 2016. Net financials improved by DKK 11.3m in 9M 2017 compared to 9M 2016. The improvement in net financials is primarily due to higher gains on cash flow hedges and higher gains/lower losses on value adjustment on the Novo Nordisk shareholdings used to hedge NNIT's long-term incentive program.
The effective tax rate in Q3 2017 was 21.9% representing a decrease of 2.1pp compared to Q3 2016. The effective tax rate in 9M 2017 was 20.9% representing a decrease of 1.8pp compared to 9M 2016. The decrease is caused by changes in the level of non-taxable adjustments mainly from non-taxable income regarding unrealized gain from Novo Nordisk shares in 9M 2017 compared to a loss in 9M 2016 and nontaxable income regarding energy savings in 9M 2017.
Net profit in Q3 2017 was DKK 26.7m corresponding to a decrease of 48% compared to Q3 2016. Net profit in 9M 2017 was DKK 130.1m corresponding to a decrease of 9.3% compared to 9M 2016. The decrease in both Q3 and 9M was impacted by the one-off revenue reversal partly countered by improved net financials and a lower effective tax

rate. Adjusting for the revenue reversal of DKK 33m net profit increased by 8.6% in 9M 2017 compared to same period last year.

Revenue growth in Q3 2017 (0.2%) and in 9M 2017 (4.2%) was primarily driven by double digit percentage growth in the enterprise, other life sciences and finance customer groups partly countered by the public customer group. Revenue in life sciences (including the Novo Nordisk Group and other life sciences customers) was unchanged in Q3 2017 and 9M 2017. The Novo Nordisk Group declined by 2.3% in Q3 2017 and 3.0% in 9M 2017, whereas other life sciences customers experienced a growth of 7.5% in Q3 2017 and 11% in 9M 2017 compared to the same periods last year. This growth was driven by international life sciences customers. Revenue growth in the public customer group decreased by 40% in Q3 2017 and by 18% in 9M 2017. This was due to the settlement with a customer in the public customer group within IT Solution Services of DKK 33m in Q3 2017, a settlement with another customer in the public customer group within IT Operation Services in Q1 2017 and price reductions in certain outsourcing contracts.
The share of NNIT's revenue from customers outside the Novo Nordisk Group reached 58% in 9M 2017 compared to 54% in the same period last year, and is in line with the strategy of becoming less dependent on Novo Nordisk.
Life sciences:
Due to decrease in revenue from the Novo Nordisk Group of 2.3% the revenue in Q3 2017 was unchanged at DKK 386.5m compared to Q3 2016. The revenue decline from the Novo Nordisk Group was mainly related to a reduction in the service level agreements in IT Operation Services and significantly lower project activity within IT Solution Services. Other life sciences customers increased by 7.5%. The growth from non-Novo Nordisk Group life sciences customers reflects an increased activity level especially from a number of international customers.
In 9M 2017, revenue from the life sciences customer group was also unchanged due to a decline in revenue from the Novo Nordisk Group of 3.0%, while other life sciences customers increased by 11%. The revenue decline from the Novo Nordisk Group was mainly due to the reasons given above for Q3 2017.
2860 Søborg www.nnit.com
Enterprise:
Revenue in Q3 2017 increased by DKK 37.3m and DKK 121.0m in 9M corresponding to an increase of 26% in Q3 2017 and 32% in 9M 2017 compared to the same periods last year. Revenue growth was driven by increased revenue from new significant customers gained in 2016, such as PANDORA and Widex as well as a positive contribution from SCALES with most of their customers in the enterprise customer group.
Public:
Revenue in Q3 2017 decreased by DKK 35.7m corresponding to 40% and decreased by DKK 50.5m in 9M 2017, corresponding to a decrease of 18% compared to the same periods last year. The decline in 9M 2017 was impacted by the one-off settlement with a customer within IT Solution Services of DKK 33m in Q3 2017 and another settlement with a customer within IT Operation Services in Q1 2017 and price reductions in certain outsourcing contracts.
Finance:
Revenue in Q3 2017 was unchanged, whereas it increased by DKK 13.8m in 9M 2017, corresponding to an increase of 8.0% in 9M 2017 compared to the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to contract wins with new customers such as Enettet and Danske Bank partly countered by a customer contract within IT Operation Services, which expired June 2017 and was not extended.
Order backlog
DKKm Backlog for the following two calendar years, beginning of quarter
At the beginning of Q4 2017, NNIT's order backlog for 2017 increased by DKK 87m to DKK 2,750m, which is a growth of 3.3% compared to the order backlog for 2016 at the same time last year. The increase is primarily due to contract wins with new customers as well as expansion of contracts with existing customers in the enterprise and other life sciences customer groups. Further, SCALES has increased the backlog with around 1.9pp while the one-off revenue reversal of DKK 33m has decreased the backlog with around 1.2pp. The underlying organic growth in the backlog is thus 2.6%. The backlog from the Novo Nordisk Group declined with 2.8%, while other customers increased 8.3%.
The order backlog for 2018 and 2019 at the beginning of Q4 2017 was 6.2% lower than the corresponding backlog for 2017 and 2018 at the same time last year. The decline in the order backlog is due to the expiry of several large outsourcing contracts, which have not yet been renegotiated or retendered. Renewal of these contracts will increase the order backlog. The Novo Nordisk Group backlog increases with 2.5% due to the extension of the large infrastructure contract, while the backlog from other customers declines with 12% due to the mentioned expiry of several large outsourcing contracts.
Employees, end-of-period
At the end of Q3 2017, the number of employees increased by 208 FTE corresponding to 7.5% compared to the same period last year. More than half of the increase was due to the inclusion of 100 SCALES FTEs in Denmark and 19 FTEs in Norway. Excluding SCALES the underlying growth was only 3.2% entirely driven by countries outside Denmark whereas FTEs in Denmark decreased by 40. The increase was outside Denmark and in-line with the long-term offshoring strategy, primarily in the Philippines (42 FTEs), China (41 FTEs) and Czech Republic (34 FTEs). Denmark increased by 60 FTEs entirely due to SCALES, while Switzerland, Germany, United Kingdom, United States and Norway combined grew by 31 FTEs also due to SCALES and increased activity within international life sciences.
Balance sheet
Total assets at September 30, 2017 increased by DKK 422.5m to DKK 1,707.9m compared to DKK 1,285.4m at September 30, 2016 primarily due to an increase in intangible assets due to the acquisition of SCALES, trade receivables, tangible assets and other receivables partly countered by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and shares.
2860 Søborg www.nnit.com
The net of Cash and cash equivalents and bank debt amounted to DKK -6.2m at September 30, 2017, a decrease of DKK 110.1m compared to September 30, 2016. The decrease was due to the acquisition of SCALES, increased investments and the payment of ordinary dividend for 2016 (DKK 53.4m) and interim dividend for 2017 (DKK 48.7m) partly countered by net profits from operating activities and a positive development in working capital.
Equity at September 30, 2017 amounted to DKK 907.6m, an increase of DKK 149.5m compared to September 30, 2016. The improvement was due to net profits offset by ordinary dividend for 2016 (DKK 53.4m) and interim dividend for 2017 (DKK 48.7m).
Investments
Investments amounted to DKK 95.0m in Q3 2017 (hereof DKK 55.5m related to the new data center) compared to DKK 42.4m in Q3 2016. Investments amounted to DKK 328.1m in 9M 2017 (hereof DKK 98.0m related to SCALES and DKK 135.5m related to the new data center) compared to DKK 112.3m in 9M 2016. The decrease in investments adjusted for the new data center and SCALES is mainly related to timing of hardware purchases in connection with outsourcing contracts. The investment in the data center in Ejby is progressing according to time schedule and budget.
Free cash flow
The free cash flow for Q3 2017 was negative with DKK 55m, a decline of DKK 75m compared to Q3 2016 due to higher investments related to the new data center partly countered by an improvement in working capital. In 9M 2017, the free cash flow was negative with DKK 78m which was DKK 196m lower than in 9M 2016. The underlying free cash flow for 9M 2017 improved by DKK 37m to DKK 155m compared to 9M 2016 when adjusting for the acquisition of SCALES and investments in a new data center.

IT Operation Services revenue increased by 0.9% in Q3 2017 and 3.5% in 9M 2017 compared to the same periods last year. The increase was primarily driven by new large customers such as PANDORA, Danske Bank and the life sciences customer group partly countered by the Novo Nordisk Group and the finance customer group.
Operating profit decreased by 5.4% in Q3 2017 compared to Q3 2016 mainly due to low project activity with high margins which has partly been replaced by hardware sales with low margins. Operating profit in 9M 2017 increased by 3.4% compared to 9M 2016 due to the increased revenue. Operating profit margin in Q3 2017 was 11.1% compared to 11.9% in Q3 2016 while operating profit margin in 9M 2017 was 10.6% in line with 9M 2016.

*Revenue reversal of DKK 33m in Q3 2017 regarding a settlement with a public customer (see company announcement 8/2017)
IT Solution Services revenue decreased by 1.2% due to the one-off revenue reversal of DKK 33m related to a settlement with a public customer in Q3 2017 and increased by 5.6% in 9M 2017 compared to the same periods last year. Q3 and 9M were positively impacted by the SCALES acquisition. The increase in 9M 2017 revenue was driven by customers outside the Novo Nordisk Group increasing by 15%, whereas revenue from the Novo Nordisk Group decreased by 7.6% compared to 9M 2016 due to a decline in project activities.
Operating profit in Q3 2017 decreased by DKK 36.3m mainly due to the one-off revenue reversal of DKK 33m compared to Q3 2016. Operating profit in 9M 2017 declined by 65% following the revenue reversal in Q3 2017, reduction in higher margin project activities from the Novo Nordisk Group as well as price and scope reductions on certain outsourcing contracts. Operating profit margin in 9M 2017 was 2.7% compared to 8.3% in 9M 2016, a decrease of 5.6pp due to the above mentioned reasons. Excluding the revenue reversal of DKK 33m the operating profit margin was 7.2%.

Events after balance sheet date
October 20, 2017 NNIT settled an arbitration with a public customer. As a consequence of the settlement, NNIT makes a one-off revenue reversal of DKK 33m impacting operating profit negatively by DKK 33m (mentioned in company announcement 8/2017). This arbitration case and potential outcomes of the case were mentioned in NNIT's IPO prospectus and in note 5 in quarterly announcements following the IPO.
Outlook for 2017
The order backlog for 2017 at the beginning of Q4 2017 increased by DKK 87m, equal to 3.3%, to DKK 2,750m compared to the order backlog for 2016 at the beginning of Q4 2016. The acquisition of SCALES contributes to a growth in the order backlog of 1.9pp and the one-off revenue reversal of DKK 33m impacted the order backlog growth negatively by 1.2pp, thus the underlying organic growth in the order backlog was 2.6%. Order backlog from the Novo Nordisk Group was 2.8% lower while the order backlog from other customers was 8.3% higher.
The revenue guidance for 2017 is 4-6% in constant currencies with expected organic growth of 1-3%. Due to lower expected revenue from the Novo Nordisk Group and the one-off revenue reversal of DKK 33m regarding a customer in the public customer group (see company announcement 8/2017), the guidance for 2017 organic growth is below the long-term target for revenue growth of at least 5%. As a consequence of the expected lower level in revenue from higher margin projects in the Novo Nordisk Group, the revenue reversal and price reductions on existing customer contracts, the operating profit margin in constant currencies is under increasing pressure and is expected to be around 9%. Excluding the revenue reversal operating profit is expected to be around 10.0% line with guidance in the Q2 2017 report.
NNIT believes the long-term target of growing revenue by at least 5% is still achievable. However, continued low visibility in terms of sales of services to Novo Nordisk for 2018 makes it uncertain at this point in time whether NNIT will be able to meet this long-term target in 2018. The long-term operating profit margin target of at least 10% is maintained as a positive impact from the operational excellence program in IT Operation Services and other implemented efficiency measures will impact 2018 and onwards.

Notes Note 1 Accounting policies
The consolidated financial statements for the first nine months of 2017 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' and on the basis of the same accounting policies as were applied in the Annual Report 2016.
The financial reporting including the consolidated financial statements for the first nine months of 2017 and Management's review have been prepared in accordance with additional Danish disclosure requirements for interim report of listed companies. See pages 55 to 61 of the Annual Report 2016 for a comprehensive description of the accounting policies applied.
On acquisition of subsidiaries, the acquisition method is applied, and acquired net assets are measured on initial recognition at fair value at the date control was achieved. Identifiable intangible assets are recognized if they can be separated and the fair value can be reliably measured. Deferred tax on revaluations is recognized.
Any positive difference between cost and fair value of net assets acquired on acquisition of subsidiaries are recognized as goodwill. The cost is stated at the fair value of consideration in shares, contingent consideration as well as cash and cash equivalents. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested annually for impairment. Transaction costs are recognized as operating costs as they are incurred.
If the initial accounting for a business combination can be determined only preliminary by the end of the period in which the combination is effected, adjustments made to the provisional fair value of acquired net assets or cost of the acquisition within 12 months of the acquisition date are adjusted to the initial goodwill.
Acquired entities are recognized in the consolidated financial statements at the date control was achieved.

Goodwill relates to expected synergies regarding additional revenue in NNIT from application maintenance on Dynamics 365 customers and from new Dynamics 365 projects where SCALES has previously been too small to implement such large scale projects. Further synergies are expected regarding off shoring of coding and other tasks in SCALES Group that can be done in NNITs off shore center in the Philippines.
Earn out target is DKK 52m with an earn out range of 0-130% of target depending on performance on three KPIs: EBITDA in SCALES business, total revenue derived from Microsoft Dynamics as well as unmanaged attrition in the SCALES business area. The KPIs are weighted with EBITDA having the highest weight.
Earnings impact
Revenue and EBIT comprise DKK 45.3 million and DKK 5.0, respectively, reported by SCALES Group since the date of acquisition June 1, 2017.
On a pro forma basis, if the acquisition had been effective from January 1, 2017 SCALES Group would have contributed DKK 103.3 million to revenue and DKK 11.0 to EBIT.

Note 6 Currency hedging
NNIT's objective is at any time to limit the company's financial risks.
NNIT is exposed to exchange rate risks in the countries where NNIT has its main activities. The majority of NNIT's sales are in DKK and EUR, implying limited foreign exchange risk, due to the parent company's functional currency being DKK and Denmark's fixed-rate policy towards EUR. NNIT's foreign exchange risk therefore primarily stems from transactions carried out in the currencies of other countries in which NNIT mainly operates: primarily the Chinese yuan, and, to a lesser extent, the Czech koruna, the Philippine peso, the Swiss franc and the British pound.
At present NNIT's sales in Chinese yuan, Czech koruna, and Swiss franc are not sufficiently to balance these currency risks. To manage foreign exchange rate risks, NNIT has entered into hedging contracts to hedge major foreign currency balances in Chinese yuan and Czech koruna. Due to the size of the exposure Swiss franc is not hedged.
Cumulative profit on derivative financial instruments regarding future cash flow per September 30, 2017 is recognized in Equity (Other comprehensive income) with an amount of DKK 1.5m before tax (DKK 1.4m after tax).

Key currency assumptions
Currency development
NNIT has a net cost exposure in the Chinese yuan, the Czech koruna (CZK), the Philippine peso and the Swiss franc and therefore the depreciation of the Chinese yuan and the Philippine peso versus Danish kroner had a positive impact on reported operating profit, whereas the increase in the Czech koruna had the reverse effect.
NNIT has hedged 90% of its net exposure in Chinese yuan (CNY hedged with CNH (CNY offshore)) and Czech koruna (CZK) for the coming 14 months.
