- Free cash flow for 2017 was DKK -90m being impacted negatively by the acquisition of SCALES and investment in a new data center. Adjusted for these the underlying free cash flow for 2017 was at the same level as in 2016
- The construction of the new tier III data center was finished on time and on budget
- Order backlog for 2018 at the beginning of Q1 2018 was DKK 2,213m, an increase of 4.0% compared to the same time last year

- The expected level of investments in 2018 is 6-8% of total revenue
- The Board of Directors proposes to increase the dividend payments to DKK 2.30 per share corresponding to DKK 104.7m which includes the interim dividend for 2017 (DKK 48.7m) paid in August 2017. This corresponds to a pay-out ratio of net profit of 48% compared to 47% in 2016
Per Kogut, CEO at NNIT says about the financial statement: "Following a challenging third quarter I am very pleased that we closed 2017 on a good note with high operating profits in the fourth quarter. I am particularly pleased that our strong underlying cash flow allows us to propose an increased dividend including interim dividend to a total of DKK 4.30 per share in a year where we build a new data center and acquired SCALES."

Guidance 2018
The order backlog for 2018 at the beginning of Q1 2018 increased by DKK 86m, or by 4.0%, to DKK 2,213m compared to the order backlog for 2017 at the beginning of Q1 2017. It should be noted that the revenue reversal of DKK 26m in Q3/Q4 2017 regarding a customer in the public customer group had a negative impact on full year revenue for 2017, but was not reflected in the backlog at the beginning of 2017. The backlog has been restated according to IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" which takes effect from January 1, 2018 (please see note 9).
It is assessed that the IFRS 15 standard will have a marginal negative impact on revenue growth in 2018. Based on the current contracts the combined impact from IFRS 15 and IFRS 16 "Leasing" will have a slightly negative impact on operating profit margin of 0.2pp in 2018.
IFRS 16 has an estimated positive impact on EBITDA margin in 2018 of around 2pp and an estimated negative impact on ROIC of 9pp (please see note 9).
The guidance for 2018 revenue growth is 4-7% in constant currencies. The growth is based on IFRS 15 restated 2017 revenue of DKK 2,851m. NNIT believes the long-term target of growing revenue by at least 5% remains achievable. However, continued uncertainty about projected sales to the Novo Nordisk Group should be noted.
The operating profit margin in constant currencies with the IFRS 15 and IFRS 16 principles is expected to be in the interval 10-10.5%. Accordingly, NNIT expects to meet the long-term target of an operating profit margin of at least 10% in 2018.
| Guidance for 2018 | Long-term targets | |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue growth In constant currencies as reported* |
4-7% Around 0.4pp lower |
> 5% |
| Operating profit margin In constant currencies as reported* |
10-10.5% Around 0.4pp higher |
- > 10% |
| Investments / Revenue*** | 6-8% |
*Constant currencies measured using average exchange rates for 2017
**Based on exchange rates as of January 18, 2018 as illustrated under key currency assumptions on page 25
*** Investments and data center investments are in 2018 expected to be between 6-8 percent of total revenue. Around 1pp relates to the data center which was invested in January 2018. The total data center investment is expected to be around DKK 250m in the period 2016 to 2018.
The expectations are based on a number of important assumptions, including that relevant macroeconomic trends will not significantly change business conditions for NNIT during 2018, that business performance, customer and competitor actions will remain stable and that key currency exchange rates will remain at the current levels versus Danish kroner (as of January 18, 2018).

NNIT grew revenue by 4.8% in constant currencies in 2017 with particularly two circumstances influencing the performance: First, an arbitration settlement with a customer in the public segment resulted in a one-off revenue reversal, reducing the overall growth by 0.9pp, and a small decline in revenue from our largest single customer. The acquisition of SCALES impacted the growth positively. Organic growth in constant currencies was 1.8%, in line with the most recent guidance of 1-3% provided in October 2017 and at the low end of the guidance of 1-5% provided in January 2017. Revenue in reported currencies was 0.2pp lower due to depreciation of key currencies.
The operating profit margin in constant currencies of 9.2% was a little above the most recent guidance of "around 9%" provided in October 2017 and below the guidance provided in January 2017 of "around 10" due to the one-off revenue reversal. In reported currencies the operating profit margin was 0.4pp higher, positively impacted by currency tailwind.
Investments divided by revenue of 15.0% was in the low end of the interval communicated at the latest guidance from October 2017 due to timing in investments hereunder in the new data center and above the guidance provided in January 2017 due to the acquisition of SCALES.

connection with the issue of new shares for the benefit of the Company's employees and/or employees of its subsidiaries from 30 April 2018 to 30 April 2021.
Proposed dividend
Due to the strong underlying cash flow generation, the Board of Directors intends to propose to the shareholders at the annual general meeting that dividends of DKK 2.30 per share be distributed for the financial year 2017. Including the interim dividend of DKK 2.00 per share in August 2017 this brings the total dividend for the financial year 2017 to DKK 4.30 per share (DKK 4.20 per share), equal to a dividend pay-out of 48% of the 2017 net results.
Share-based incentive program
NNIT will in January 2018 introduce a new Retention Program for the six members of NNIT's Group Management as a replacement for the launch incentive program (LIP) from NNIT's initial public offering. The program was approved at the Annual General Meeting in March 2017. The program is in structure based on a similar approach as the LIP and consists of a self-investment part equivalent to 8 months fixed base salary plus employer paid pension contribution for each participant. Subject to performance targets NNIT will grant two restricted stock units (RSUs) to each participant per self-invested Share. The self-invested Shares will be subject to a lock-up restriction and cannot be sold earlier than three years from the date of grant. The RSUs granted to the participants will after the expiry of the lock-up period vest and simultaneously be converted into Shares on the first day in the first open trading window in 2021, subject to fulfilment of performance criteria related to annual growth in sales (measured as average growth in sales in DKK) and operating margin (measured as average operating margin) measured on Group level. The performance criteria are weighted 50/50. The Retention Program will be treated as an equity-settled share-based incentive program and expensed over the three-year vesting period based on the market price at grant date. The maximum total number of RSUs granted by NNIT is 111,976 which correspond to an estimated cost of DKK 20million.

*Before revenue reversal of DKK 26.1m in (DKK 33.0m Q3 2017 and DKK -6.9m in Q4 2017) regarding a settlement with a public customer (see company announcement 8/2017)
Revenue in reported currencies increased by 5.6% in Q4 2017 (6.2% in constant currencies) positively impacted by 5.2pp from SCALES. Adjusting for SCALES the underlying organic growth was 0.4% in reported currencies. Revenue from the Novo Nordisk Group increased by 7.0% due to a very low comparison base in 2016 and revenue from a large transition project regarding the prolonged infrastructure agreement. Revenue from other customers increased by 4.6% driven by SCALES.
2017 revenue increased by 4.6% (4.8% in constant currencies) being impacted negatively by the one-off revenue reversal of DKK 26.1m corresponding to 0.9pp and positively impacted with 3.0pp from SCALES. Adjusting for these impacts, the underlying organic growth was 2.5% in reported currencies due to a declinining revenue from the Novo Nordisk Group of 0.4% while other customers increased by 5.4%.
Operating profit margin in reported currencies was 13.9% in Q4 2017 (13.3% in constant currencies) and 9.6% in 2017 (9.2% in constant currencies) compared to 12.6% in Q4 2016 and 10.6% in full year 2016. Full year 2017 was negatively impacted by the one-off revenue reversal of DKK 26.1m and adjusting for the revenue reversal the operating profit margin was 10.4% in 2017 in line with NNIT's long term target of an operating profit margin of at least 10%.
For a detailed performance overview in both reported and constant currencies please see note 8 on page 27. Comparisons in this financial report are hereafter in reported
currencies. NNIT's major currencies have depreciated giving operating profit margin in 2017 a tailwind of 0.4pp whereas the impact on revenue growth was impacted negatively by 0.2pp.
Cost of goods sold increased by 4.1% in Q4 2017 and 6.3% in full year 2017 compared to the same periods last year. The gross profit margin was 22.3% in Q4 2017 (21.1% in Q4 2016) and 18.3% in 2017 (19.6% in 2016). The decrease in gross profit margin for 2017 was among others driven by the one-off revenue reversal, a reduction in the level of high margin projects from the Novo Nordisk Group and price reductions in certain outsourcing contracts. The decline in gross profit margin will be sought mitigated through the fully implemented operational excellence program in the IT Operation Services business area, the continued development of focused offerings to life sciences and other customer groups as well as a selective approach when bidding for public tenders. Adjusting for the revenue reversal, the gross profit margin was 19.0% in 2017.
Sales and marketing costs decreased by 2.1% in Q4 2017 mainly due to timing and increased by 0.6% in 2017 mainly due to a sales force expansion to support future growth, especially in international life sciences.
Administrative expenses increased by 9.0% in Q4 2017 and increased by 2.7% in 2017 compared to the same periods last year. The increase in Q4 2017 was mainly due to severance payments in connection with layoffs in staff functions that will have a positive effect in 2018 and onwards.
Operating profit in Q4 2017 increased by 17% to DKK 113.2m corresponding to an operating profit margin of 13.9% compared to 12.6% in Q4 2016. This led to an operating profit in 2017 of DKK 276.8m corresponding to an operating profit margin of 9.6% compared to 10.6% in 2016. The decrease was mainly due to the one-off revenue reversal. Adjusted for this reversal, the operating profit margin was 10.4% in 2017.
Net financials in Q4 2017 were negative DKK 1.7m which is an improvement of DKK 0.4m compared to Q4 2016. Net financials improved by DKK 11.7m in 2017 compared to 2016. The improvement in net financials is primarily due to higher gains on cash flow hedges and higher gains/fewer value adjustment losses on the Novo Nordisk shareholdings used to hedge NNIT's long-term incentive program.
The effective tax rate in Q4 2017 was 22.5% representing a decrease of 1.2pp compared to Q4 2016. The effective tax rate in 2017 was 21.5% representing a decrease of 1.5pp compared to 2016. The decrease was caused by changes in the level of non-taxable adjustments mainly from non-taxable income regarding unrealized gains from Novo Nordisk shares in 2017 compared to a loss in 2016 and non-taxable income regarding energy savings in 2017.
Net profit in Q4 2017 was DKK 86.4m corresponding to an increase of 19.6% compared to Q4 2016. Net profit in 2017 was DKK 216.5m corresponding to an increase of 0.4% compared to 2016. The increase in 2017 was impacted by improved net financials and a lower effective tax rate partly countered by the one-off revenue reversal. Adjusting for the revenue reversal of DKK 26.1m, net profit increased by 9.8% in 2017 compared to same period last year.

*Before revenue reversal of DKK 26m in (DKK 33.0m Q3 2017 and DKK -6.9m in Q4 2017) regarding a settlement with a public customer (see company announcement 8/2017)
Revenue growth in Q4 2017 of 5.6% was primarily driven by growth in the enterprise, public and the Novo Nordisk Group customer groups partly countered by the finance and other life sciences customer groups. Revenue growth in 2017 of 4.6% was driven by growth in the enterprise, other life sciences and finance customer groups partly countered by the public customer group which was impacted by the one-off revenue reversal.
The share of NNIT's revenue from customers outside the Novo Nordisk Group in 2017 was 57.3% compared to 55.2% in 2016.
Life sciences:
Revenue in life sciences (including the Novo Nordisk Group and other life sciences customers) increased by 3.6% in Q4 2017 and 1.0% in 2017. NNIT's revenue from the Novo Nordisk Group revenue increased by DKK 22.9m in Q4 2017 corresponding to an increase of 7.0% due to a large transitional project and other projects. NNIT's revenue from the Novo Nordisk Group decreased by DKK 4.6m in 2017 corresponding to a decline of 0.4% primarily due to price reductions in the main outsourcing agreement and reduced project activity level.
Revenue from other life sciences customers experienced a decrease of 7.1% in Q4 2017 due to finalization of several large projects in Denmark while revenue from international customers increased with a strong double digit growth. In 2017, revenue from other life sciences customers increased by DKK 19.9m, corresponding to 5.6%, and driven by international life sciences customers which grew with more than 20%.
Enterprise:
Revenue in Q4 2017 increased by DKK 22.5m and DKK 143.6m in 2017 corresponding to an increase of 13% in Q4 2017 and 26% in 2017 compared to the same periods last year. Revenue growth was driven by increased revenue from new customers such as PANDORA and Widex as well as a positive contribution from the SCALES acquisition with most customers in the enterprise customer group. Q4 2017 growth was impacted negatively by a large hardware sale in Q4 2016.
Public:
Revenue in Q4 2017 increased by DKK 11.1m corresponding to 11% and decreased by DKK 39.4m in 2017 corresponding to a decrease of 10% compared to the same periods last year. The increase in Q4 2017 was mainly due to the final computation of the accounting impact of the settlement, whereas the decrease in 2017 was impacted by the same settlement with a customer in IT Solution Services of DKK 26.1m and another settlement with a customer within IT Operation Services in Q1 2017 as well as price reductions on certain outsourcing contracts.
Finance:
Revenue in Q4 2017 decreased by DKK 6.0m or 9.4% due to a customer contract within IT Operation Services that was not extended when it expired in June 2017. Revenue in 2017 increased by DKK 7.8m in 2017, corresponding to an increase of 3.3% compared to the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by contract wins with new customers such as E-nettet and Danske Bank and was partly offset by the customer contract within IT Operation Services that was not extended.
Order backlog
The order backlog for 2018 at the beginning of Q1 2018 increased by DKK 86m, or by 4.0%, to DKK 2,213m compared to the order backlog for 2017 at the beginning of Q1 2017. It should be noted that the revenue reversed of DKK 26m in Q3/Q4 2017 regarding a customer in the public customer group had a negative impact on full year

12 of 28 NNIT A/S Østmarken 3A Telephone: +45 7024 4242 Denmark CVR No: 21 09 31 06
The backlog has been restated according to IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" which takes effect as from January 1, 2018 (please see note 9). When assessing the backlog development please see the guidance section.
Order backlog from the Novo Nordisk Group declined with 12.3%, while other customers increased 17.8%. It is assessed that the IFRS 15 standard will have limited impact on the total revenue growth in 2018. However, the decrease in the order backlog from the Novo Nordisk Group can to some extent be explained by a large transitional project in 2018 which will be recognized throughout the contract period due to the new IFRS 15 principle whereas the order backlog growth from other customers are impacted by transition projects brought forward into 2018 and the years to come from previous years.
At the beginning of Q1 2018 the order backlog for 2019 and 2020 was 13.6% higher than the order backlog for 2018 and 2019 at the beginning of Q1 2017. The increase in the order entry backlog is due to extension of the corporate core IT infrastructure outsourcing contract with Novo Nordisk and the five year contract extension with Arla partly countered by the expiry of several large infrastructure agreements in 2019 and 2020 in other customer groups. Any renewals or replacements of these contracts will increase the order backlog. The Novo Nordisk Group backlog increases with 43.0%, while the backlog from other customers declines with 3.9% due to the mentioned expiry of several large outsourcing contracts.
Employees, end-of-period
At the end of Q4 2017, the number of employees increased by 221 FTE corresponding to 7.9% compared to the same period last year. More than half of the increase was due to the inclusion of 101 SCALES FTEs in Denmark and 20 FTEs in Norway. Excluding SCALES the underlying growth was only 3.5% entirely driven by countries outside Denmark whereas FTEs in Denmark decreased by 71. The increase outside Denmark was in-line with the long-term offshoring strategy, increasing primarily in China (72 FTEs), the Philippines (61 FTEs), and Czech Republic (28 FTEs). Denmark increased by 30 FTEs entirely due to SCALES, while Switzerland, Germany, United Kingdom, United States and Norway combined grew by 30 FTEs also due to SCALES and increased activity within international life sciences.

Balance sheet
Total assets at December 31, 2017 increased by DKK 237.5m to DKK 1,828.0m compared to DKK 1,590.5m at December 31, 2016 primarily due to an increase in intangible assets in connection with the acquisition of SCALES (DKK 187.2m), tangible assets and other receivables partly countered by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables.
The net of Cash and cash equivalents and bank overdraft amounted to DKK -18.6m at December 31, 2017, a decrease of DKK 192.5m compared to December 31, 2016. The decrease was due to the acquisition of SCALES (DKK 98.0m), increased investments in a new data center (DKK 181.1m) 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 December 31, 2017 amounted to DKK 1,005.3m, an increase of DKK 158.8m compared to December 31, 2016. The improvement was due to higher net profits offset by paid ordinary dividends for 2016 (DKK 53.4m) and paid interim dividends for 2017 (DKK 48.7m).
Investments
Investments amounted to DKK 102.5m in Q4 2017 (of which DKK 45.6m related to the new data center) compared to DKK 55.4m in Q4 2016. Investments amounted to DKK 434.9m in 2017 (of which DKK 98.0m related to SCALES and DKK 181.1m related to the new data center) compared to DKK 167.7m in 2016. The construction of the data center in Ejby, Copenhagen was finished according to time schedule and budget and the data center was inaugurated January 12, 2018.
Free cash flow
The free cash flow for Q4 2017 was negative at DKK 12.4m, a decline of DKK 82.4m compared to Q4 2016 due to higher investments related to the new data center. In 2017, the free cash flow was negative with DKK 90.4m compared to a positive free cash flow of DKK 188.4m in 2016 due to the acquisition of SCALES and the investment in a new data center. The underlying free cash flow of DKK 188.6m was at the same level as 2016 when adjusted for the acquisition of SCALES and the investment in a new data center.

IT Operation Services revenue decreased by 1.7% in Q4 2017 and increased by 2.0% in 2017 compared to the same periods last year. The decrease in Q4 2017 was primarily due to lower Q4 project activity within customers outside the Novo Nordisk Group whereas the increase in full year 2017 was primarily driven by new large customers such as PANDORA, Danske Bank and the life sciences customer group partly offset by the the finance customer group. Revenue from the Novo Nordisk Group increased with 2.5% in 2017 relative to 2016 due to a large transitional project and increased project activitly level in Q4 2017 partly countered by price reductions in the main outsourcing agreement.
Operating profit increased by 9.6% in Q4 2017 compared to Q4 2016 mainly due to increased project activity from the Novo Nordisk Group. Operating profit in 2017 increased by 5.4% compared to 2016. Operating profit margin in Q4 2017 was 14.6% compared to 13.1% in Q4 2016 while operating profit margin in 2017 was 11.7% and 0.4pp above 2016. The increase was driven by the operational excellence program partly offset by a settlement with a customer in the public customer group.

*Before revenue reversal of DKK 26.1m in (DKK 33.0m Q3 2017 and DKK -6.9m in Q4 2017) regarding a settlement with a public customer (see company announcement 8/2017)
IT Solution Services revenue increased by 20.6% in Q4 2017 and 9.6% in 2017 compared to the same periods last year despite the the one-off revenue reversal related to a settlement with a public customer in Q3 2017. Q4 2017 and 2017 were positively impacted by the SCALES acquisition. The increase in 2017 revenue was driven by customers outside the Novo Nordisk Group increasing with 21%, whereas revenue from the Novo Nordisk Group decreased with 6.4% compared to 2016 due to a decline in project activities.
Operating profit in Q4 2017 increased by 34% due to final computation of the settlement and SCALES compared to Q4 2016. Operating profit in 2017 declined by 32% following the revenue reversal in Q3 2017, reduction in high margin project activities from the Novo Nordisk Group as well as price and scope reductions on certain outsourcing contracts. Operating profit margin in 2017 was 5.7% compared to 9.1% in 2016, a decrease of 3.5pp due to the above mentioned reasons. Adjusted for the oneoff revenue reversal, the operating profit margin was 8.0%.

The Danish operations generated 88.8% of NNIT's revenue in 12M 2017 and 91.0% in 12M 2016 based on the location of customer purchase orders. As a consequence of the predominantly Danish revenue, we will not disclose a geographical revenue split.
Note 3
Acquisition of SCALES Group
On June 1, 2017, NNIT acquired full ownership and control of SCALES Group in Denmark. SCALES Group is a leading Danish-based consultancy, who delivers implementations of Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP solutions (previously: Dynamics AX).
The preliminary fair value of net assets acquired and goodwill at the date of acquisition, is summarized below:
| DKK '000 | |
|---|---|
| June 1, 2017 | |
| Acquisition cost | |
| Cash paid | 103,837 |
| Consideration in NNIT A/S shares | 19,123 |
| Contingent consideration (earn out) | 54,345 |
| 177,305 | |
| Fair value of net assets acquired | |
| Intangble assets | 9,200 |
| Other non-current assets | 1,772 |
| Trade receivables and work in progress | 33,218 |
| Other receivables and pre-payments | 1,582 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 5,846 |
| Non-current liabilities | -2,055 |
| Prepayments received | -7,986 |
| Employee costs payable | -15,890 |
| Other current liabilities | -16,070 |
| Net assets acquired | 9,617 |
| Goodwill | 167,688 |
| Acquisition cost | 177,305 |
| Of which cash and cash equivalents in Scales Group | -5,846 |
| Consideration in NNIT A/S shares | -19,123 |
| Contingent consideration (earn out) | -54,345 |
| Paid acquisition cost, net | 97,991 |
Goodwill relates to expected synergies regarding revenue from new Dynamics 365 projects where SCALES previously has been too small to implement such large scale projects and cost savings from off shoring of coding and other tasks in SCALES Group
done in NNIT Philippines off shore center. Further synergies are expected regarding additional revenue in NNIT from application maintenance service on Dynamics 365 customers.
Recognized goodwill is non-deductible for tax purpose.
Transaction cost of DKK 1,5 million has been recognized in administrative expenses.
Earn out target is DKK 52 million 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.
There have been no changes to the carrying amount of the contingent consideration since the date of the acquisition
The period for earn out target ends 2019 and will be settled after approval of the annual report for 2019.
Earnings impact
Revenue and EBIT comprise DKK 86,249 thousand and DKK 12,330 thousand, 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 143,854 thousand to revenue and DKK 17,960 thousand 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 December 31, 2017 is recognized in Equity (Other comprehensive income) with an amount of DKK 4.8m before tax (DKK 3.8m after tax).

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.

Note 9 IFRS 15 and IFRS 16
IASB has issued IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" and IFRS 16 "Leasing" to take effect as of January 1, 2018. The standards will establish a single, comprehensive framework for revenue recognition and for leasing.
IFRS 15
Revenue is recognized when an asset on behalf of a customer is created with no alternative use and NNIT has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, or the customer obtains control of a service and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefit from the service. The standard will impact outsourcing contracts. Revenue and operating profit on some phases in outsourcing contracts will be postponed to later periods other than the period during which the activities are performed.
This postponement arises from the fact that some of the activities performed in the transition and transformation phases do not transfer services to the customer under IFRS 15. In this case, the costs incurred to perform those activities are considered start-up costs, which are capitalized and amortized over the contract period. Equity will be impacted negatively by deferral of profit from such start up activities.
Based on the level of profit margins on outsourcing contracts in 2017 and prior periods, it is assessed that the standard has a insignificant impact on the consolidated financial statements for 2017.
IFRS 16
All leases will be recognized in the balance sheet with a corresponding lease debt except for short-term assets and low value assets. Leased assets are depreciated over the lease term, and payments are allocated between installements on the lease obligation and interest expense, classified as financial expenses.
The standards will be applied fully retrospectively as of January 1, 2018, thus the 2017 comparative figures will be adjusted in the consolidated financial statement for 2018. It is assessed that the IFRS 15 standard will have a marginal negative impact on revenue growth in 2018. Based on the current contracts the combined impact from IFRS 15 and IFRS 16 "Leasing" will have a slightly negative impact on operating profit margin of 0.2pp in 2018.
IFRS 16 has an estimated positive impact on EBITDA margin in 2018 of around 2pp and an estimated negative impact on ROIC of 9pp.
