Financial report for Q1 2017

NNIT delivers organic revenue growth of 8.0% and an operating profit margin of 10.2% in Q1 2017.

Performance highlights for Q1 2017

  • Revenue increased by 8.0% to DKK 715m in reported currencies and by 7.9% in constant currencies impacted positively by around 3.5pp by the timing of the Easter Holiday and a high level of hardware revenue. Revenue increased by 11.7% from customers outside the Novo Nordisk Group
  • Operating profit margin was 10.2% in reported currencies and 10.1% in constant currencies compared to 10.5% as reported in Q1 2016
  • Net profit increased by 8.9% to DKK 56m following an improvement in operating profit and net financials
  • Free cash flow was DKK 142m which is in line with Q1 2016 despite higher investments
  • Order backlog for 2017 at the beginning of Q2 2017 increased by DKK 109m to DKK 2,385m which is a growth of 4.8% compared to the order backlog for 2016 at the beginning of Q2 2016
  • May 17, 2017 NNIT signed an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares in the SCALES Group (company announcement 5/2017 May 17, 2017). The acquisition of SCALES Group is expected to increase NNITs revenue growth in 2017 with around 3pp while the impact on operating profit margin is expected to be neutral
  • Outlook for 2017 is:
  • Revenue is forecasted to grow 4-8% in constant currencies after the acquisition of SCALES Group, while expected organic growth is maintained at 1-5%. The organic revenue growth outlook is below NNIT's long-term target of at least 5% due to a decline in the backlog from the Novo Nordisk Group
  • Operating profit margin is forecasted to be around 10% in constant currencies
  • The expected level of investments in 2017 is 12-14% of total revenue as the majority of investment related to an additional data center will impact 2017. Including the acquisition of SCALES Group the expected investment level is 16-18%
  • Based on the strong cash flow NNIT expects to pay out an interim dividend in August 2017 of DKK 48.5m in cash equal to DKK 2 per share of a nominal value of DKK 10

Per Kogut, CEO at NNIT comments: "The results for the first three months of 2017 are reassuring and confirm the strength of NNIT's operating model. Continued revenue growth and an operating profit margin of 10.2% is a good start to the year, and I am particularly encouraged by the loyal collaboration with our respected clients, including Novo Nordisk, with whom we have recently extended our relationship. It is a testament to the services and quality NNIT delivers". Per Kogut continues: "Further, I am happy to welcome SCALES Group into the NNIT Group. The acquisition strengthens NNIT's position in the Dynamics market and the combination of SCALES Group's deep knowledge and market leading experience with Dynamics 365 and NNIT's ability to handle large Dynamics environments as well as strong portfolio of Microsoft products, creates a unique, leading Dynamics and SAP house in Denmark."

Guidance 2017

The order backlog for 2017 at the beginning of Q2 2017 increased by DKK 109m, or by $4.8\%$ , to DKK 2,385m compared to the order backlog for 2016 at the beginning of Q2 2016. Order backlog from the Novo Nordisk Group was $3.8\%$ lower while the order backlog from other customers was $12.7\%$ higher. The guidance in the annual report for 2016 took the expected outcome of the renewal of corporate core IT infrastructure outsourcing agreement with Novo Nordisk into consideration and the renewal of the contract does therefore not change the guidance for 2017.

The guidance for the 2017 organic revenue growth is $1 - 5\%$ in constant currencies due to lower expected revenue from the Novo Nordisk Group. Due to the expected drop in revenue from higher margin projects in the Novo Nordisk Group and price reductions on existing customer contracts, the operating profit margin in constant currencies is expected to be around $10\%$ compared to $10.6\%$ in 2016. The long-term target for revenue growth of at least $5\%$ is maintained as lower revenue from the Novo Nordisk Group is expected to be offset by revenue growth from other customer groups. Further, 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 is expected from 2018 and onwards.

Due to the acquisition of SCALES Group reported growth in revenue in constant currencies is expected to be $4 - 8\%$ while operating profit margin is still expected to be around $10\%$ . Further investments to revenue is expected to increase to $16 - 18\%$ .

Company announcement, May 18, 2017

Highlights

Below are the key highlights for Q1 2017 and the order backlog for 2017 at the beginning of Q2 2017.

Sales

The order backlog for 2017 at the beginning of Q2 2017 increased by DKK 109m to DKK 2,385m which is a growth of 4.8% compared to the order backlog for 2016 at the beginning of Q2 2016. The increase is primarily due to contract wins with new customers in 2016 as well as expansion of contracts with existing customers in the enterprise and other life sciences customer groups.

At the beginning of Q2 2017 the order backlog for 2018 and 2019 was 16.1% lower than the order backlog for 2017 and 2018 at the beginning of Q2 2016. The backlog growth is impacted by the expiry of several large outsourcing contracts which have not yet been renegotiated or retendered, especially with the Novo Nordisk Group which was not signed until May 2017. Renewal of these contracts will increase the order backlog.

Key wins in Q1 2017:

  • New onsite support contract with a customer in the enterprise customer group representing a mid-size double-digit DKKm amount over a 4-year-period
  • Extension and expansion of contracts with current customers
  • Operation outsourcing contract extension with a customer in the enterprise customer group representing a minor double-digit DKKm amount over a 4-year-period

Additional key wins in Q2 2017:

  • May 4, 2017 NNIT entered into a 6-year-agreement with Novo Nordisk, replacing an existing corporate core IT infrastructure outsourcing contract between the two parties, covering global services, including support and maintenance of Novo Nordisk corporate infrastructure while the parties existing five-year-contract initially commenced on January 1, 2013 with expiration December 31, 2017, the renewed contract will take effect from January 1, 2017 and run until December 31, 2022. The agreement replaces the existing contract from 2017 and the new agreement represents a total value of around DKK 1bn (company announcement 4/2017 May 4, 2017).

The new agreement increases NNITs backlog from 2018 and 2019, but does not change NNITs guidance for 2017 or the long-term targets

Acquisition

  • May 17, 2017 NNIT signed an agreement to buy 100% of the shares in the SCALES Group and SCALES Group will per June, 2017 be part of the NNIT Group. The acquisition price consists of an upfront payment of DKK 122m and an earn out payment of DKK 52m at target and depending on performance.

SCALES Group is a leading Dynamics AX consultancy house in Denmark and the leading Dynamics 365 consultancy in the Nordic Region with 113 AX consultants in Denmark and Norway. SCALES Group has a strong profitable growth track record and a good cultural fit to NNIT and is already a partner to NNIT on several AX deliveries.

SCALES Group will be included in the IT Solution reporting segment starting in Q2 2017

| Effective tax rate | 21.6% | 21.7% | -0.1pp |
| Net profit | 55.8 | 51.3 | 8.9% |

Revenue in reported currencies increased by 8.0% in Q1 2017 (7.9% in constant currencies). Operating profit margin in reported currencies was 10.2% in Q1 2017 (10.1% in constant currencies) compared to 10.5% in Q1 2016.

For a detailed performance overview in both reported and constant currencies please see note 7 on page 23. Comparisons in this financial report are hereafter in reported currencies only as NNIT's major currencies have only depreciated a little giving operating profit growth a tailwind of 0.1pp and revenue growth a tailwind of 0.1pp compared to the same period last year.

Revenue increased by 8.0% in Q1 2017 compared to the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by a 37% growth in the enterprise customer group, a 13% growth from non-Novo Nordisk Group life sciences customers and 11% growth in the finance customer group while revenue from the Novo Nordisk Group increased by 3.7% and the public customer group decreased by 16% in Q1 2017.

The timing of the Danish Easter holiday had a positive impact on revenue growth of 1.6pp mainly driven by IT Solution Services.

Cost of goods sold increased by 9.3% in Q1 2017 compared to the same period last year. This led to a gross profit margin of 18.7% in Q1 2017 compared to 19.7% in Q1 2016. The decrease in gross profit margin was mainly driven by an increase in costs of hardware for infrastructure projects and onboarding of new customers partly countered by the Danish Easter holiday and a provision for loss on a fixed price project in the public customer group in Q1 2016.

Sales and marketing costs in Q1 2017 were unchanged compared to the same period last year. Q1 2016 was impacted by a severance payment which in Q1 2017 is offset by a strengthening of the sales force especially within international life sciences to support future growth.

Company announcement, May 18, 2017

Administrative expenses increased by 0.5% in Q1 2017 compared to the same period last year.

Operating profit in Q1 2017 increased by 4.3% to DKK 72.8m corresponding to an operating profit margin of 10.2% compared to 10.5% in Q1 2016. Unchanged sales and marketing costs and administrative expenses as well as increased revenue all contributed to the operating profit improvement. This is partly countered by increased infrastructure projects with a high degree of hardware with low margins.

Net financials in Q1 2017 were negative DKK 1.6m which is an improvement of DKK 2.7m compared to Q1 2016. Net financials were affected by a negative net value adjustment of the Novo Nordisk shareholdings used to hedge NNIT's long-term incentive program and corresponding liability from prior years of DKK 0.6m compared to DKK 2.2m in Q1 2016. This is equivalent to a net improvement of DKK 1.6m. Furthermore, net financials were impacted by a loss on cash flow hedges of DKK 0.5m in Q1 2017 compared to a loss of DKK 2.0m in Q1 2016 equivalent to a net improvement of DKK 1.5m. The impact was partly offset by lower dividends received on Novo Nordisk shareholdings and loss on foreign exchange and bank charges. The loss on cash flow hedges in Q1 2017 was due to depreciating currencies whereas operating profits were impacted in the opposite direction by currency changes.

The effective tax rate in Q1 2017 was 21.6% representing a decrease of 0.1pp compared to Q1 2016. The decrease is caused by changes in the level of non-taxable adjustments from unrealized losses on Novo Nordisk shares and non-taxable income regarding energy savings in Q1 2017.

Net profit in Q1 2017 was DKK 55.8m corresponding to an increase of 8.9% compared to Q1 2016. The increase was positively impacted by the increase in operating profit, improved net financials and a lower effective tax rate.

| Total | 715.3 | 662.6 | 8.0% |

Revenue growth in Q1 2017 (8.0%) was primarily driven by double digit percentage growth in the enterprise, other life sciences and finance customer groups. Revenue in life sciences (including the Novo Nordisk Group and other life sciences customers) increased by 5.6% in Q1 2017 due to an increase of 12.6% from other life sciences customers, whereas the Novo Nordisk Group experienced a growth of 3.7% in Q1 2017 compared to the same period last year. In Q1 2017, the public customer group experienced a decline of 16.4% due to a settlement with a customer in the public customer group within IT Operation Services and price reductions in certain outsourcing contracts.

Company announcement, May 18, 2017

The share of NNIT's revenue from customers outside the Novo Nordisk Group reached 55% in Q1 2017 compared to 53% in the same period last year, and is in line with the strategy of becoming less dependent on Novo Nordisk.

Life sciences:

Revenue in Q1 2017 increased by DKK 21.8m corresponding to an increase of 5.6% compared to Q1 2016. The increase was due to a growth in revenue from both other life sciences customers of 12.6% and the Novo Nordisk Group of 3.7%. The increase in revenue from the Novo Nordisk Group was primarily driven by infrastructure projects with a high degree of hardware with low margins. Adjusted for the increased hardware revenue the growth from the Novo Nordisk Group would have been negative with 3.2%. The double digit growth from non-Novo Nordisk Group life sciences customers reflects orders from previous quarters and increased project activity on a number of international and Danish customers.

Enterprise:

Revenue in Q1 2017 increased by DKK 40.9m corresponding to an increase of 37% in compared to the same period last year. Revenue growth was driven by increased revenue from new significant customers, which includes PANDORA and Widex where the contracts were entered into in Q2 2016.

Public:

Revenue in Q1 2017 decreased by DKK 16.5m corresponding to a decrease of 16.4% compared to the same period last year. The decline was impacted by a settlement with a customer in the public customer group within IT Operation Services and price reductions in certain outsourcing contracts.

Finance:

Revenue in Q1 2017 increased by DKK 6.5m corresponding to an increase of 10.8% compared to the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to contract wins with new customers such as E-nettet and Danske Bank.

Backlog for the following two calendar years, beginning of quarter

At the beginning of Q1 2017, NNIT's order backlog for 2017 increased by DKK 109m to DKK 2,385m which is a growth of 4.8% 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. The backlog from the Novo Nordisk Group declined with 3.8% due to continued low project activity.

The order backlog for 2018 and 2019 at the beginning of Q2 2017 was 16.1% 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, especially with the Novo Nordisk Group where the backlog declines with 32%, while the backlog from other customers only declines with 2.4%. Renewal of these contracts will increase the order backlog. May 4, 2017 NNIT entered into a 6-year-agreement with Novo Nordisk which brings the backlog almost in balance compared to the same time last year.

with the long-term offshoring strategy. Denmark grew by 65 FTE and Switzerland, Germany, United Kingdom and United States combined grew by 5 FTEs.

Balance sheet

Total assets at March 31, 2017 increased by DKK 313.6m to DKK 1,543.9m compared to DKK 1,230.3m at March 31, 2016 primarily due to an increase in trade receivables, work in progress, other receivables and cash and cash equivalents partly countered by a decrease in shares.

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to DKK 262.7m at March 31, 2017, an increase of DKK 97.3m relative to March 31, 2016. The increase was due to net profits from operating activities countered by the payment of interim dividend for 2016 (DKK 48.5m) and ordinary dividend for 2016 (DKK 53.4m).

Equity at March 31, 2017 amounted to DKK 860.5m, an increase of DKK 161.9m compared to March 31, 2016. The improvement was due to net profits offset by the payment of interim dividend for 2016 (DKK 48.5m) and ordinary dividend for 2016 (DKK 53.4m).

Investments

Investments amounted to DKK 69.9m in Q1 2017 (hereof DKK 34.7m related to the new data center) compared to DKK 37.1m in Q1 2016. The decrease in investments adjusted for the new data center 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 and budget.

Free cash flow

img-3.jpeg

The free cash flow for Q1 2017 amounted to DKK 142m, an increase of DKK 10.8m compared to Q1 2016 despite the higher level of investments. The increase in the free cash flow in Q1 2017 was primarily related to a positive change in working capital (DKK 49m) due to a significant change in trade receivables partly countered by a significant change in current liabilities as well as higher level of investments. The significantly lower trade receivables compared to Q4 2016 are mainly explained by payment of project milestones and hardware contracts being invoiced in Q4 2016 and paid in Q1 2017. A similar development was seen to a smaller extent in Q1 2016. Based on the cash flow NNIT expects to pay out an interim dividend in August 2017 as in August 2016.

IT Operation Services

| Revenue | | | |
| Novo Nordisk Group | 226.0 | 212.6 | 6.3% |
| Non-Novo Nordisk Group | 242.6 | 226.0 | 7.4% |

| Operating profit | 49.3 | 53.0 | -6.8% |
| Operating profit margin | 10.5% | 12.1% | -1.5pp |

IT Operation Services revenue increased by 6.9% in Q1 2017 compared to the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by new large customers such as PANDORA and Danske Bank as well as the Novo Nordisk Group growing with 6.3%. The growth from the Novo Nordisk Group was primarily driven by infrastructure projects with a high degree of hardware with low margins. Adjusted for the increased hardware revenue the growth in revenue from the Novo Nordisk Group would have been negative.

Operating profit in Q1 2017 decreased by 6.8%, representing an operating profit of DKK 49.3m. Operating profit margin in Q1 2017 was 10.5% corresponding to a decrease of 1.5pp compared to Q1 2016 due to increased infrastructure projects with a high degree of hardware with low margins and onboarding of new customers.

| Operating profit | 23.5 | 16.8 | 39.4% |
| Operating profit margin | 9.5% | 7.5% | 2pp |

IT Solution Services revenue increased by 10.1% in Q1 2017 compared to the same period last year partly impacted by the Danish Easter holiday being placed in April in 2017 and March in 2016. This increase was driven by revenue from customers outside the Novo Nordisk Group increasing 20% in Q1 2017, whereas revenue from the Novo Nordisk Group decreased by 1.9% compared to Q1 2016 due to a drop in project activities.

The timing of the Danish Easter holiday impacts the revenue growth with 4.5pp.

Operating profit in Q1 2017 increased by 39% compared to Q1 2016. Q1 2016 was impacted by a provision for loss on a fixed price project in the public customer group which explains the significant increase in operating profit. This is partly countered by a reduction in higher margin project activities from the Novo Nordisk Group. Operating profit margin in Q1 2017 was 9.5% corresponding to an increase of 2.0pp compared to Q1 2016.

Events after balance sheet date

Wednesday, April 26, 2017, one of NNIT's data centers lost power briefly affecting a number of customer systems. The incident occurred during a planned data center maintenance demonstration as part of an accreditation through an internationally approved certification institute. NNIT instantly mobilized all relevant resources including external vendors to assess and address the situation and restore all services as well as re-establish customer systems. All data center operations were fully operational again on the same day. On Friday, April 28, 2017, all customer systems were operational and the faulty power supply components had also been rectified.

Due to the loss of power in the data center, a number of KPI's in customer contracts were impacted giving higher expected penalty payments to customers than normally experienced. This is not expected to change NNIT's guidance for 2017.

May 4, 2017 NNIT entered into a 6-year-agreement with Novo Nordisk, replacing an existing corporate core IT infrastructure outsourcing contract between the two parties (company announcement 4/2017 May 4, 2017).

May 17, 2017 NNIT signed an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares in the SCALES Group. With effect from June 1, 2017 SCALES Group will be part of the NNIT Group, see page 5 and company announcement 5/2017 May 17, 2017.

Outlook for 2017

The order backlog for 2017 at the beginning of Q2 2017 increased by DKK 109m, or by 4.8%, to DKK 2,385m compared to the order backlog for 2016 at the beginning of Q2 2016. Order backlog from the Novo Nordisk Group was 3.8% lower while the order backlog from other customers was 12.7% higher. The guidance in the annual report for 2016 took the expected outcome of the renewal of corporate core IT infrastructure outsourcing agreement with Novo Nordisk into consideration and the renewal of the contract does therefore not change the guidance for 2017.

The guidance for the 2017 organic revenue growth is 1-5% in constant currencies due to lower expected revenue from the Novo Nordisk Group. Due to the expected drop in revenue from higher margin projects in the Novo Nordisk Group and price reductions on existing customer contracts, the operating profit margin in constant currencies is expected to be around 10% compared to 10.6% in 2016. The long-term target for revenue growth of at least 5% is maintained as lower revenue from the Novo Nordisk Group is expected to be offset by revenue growth from other customer groups. Further, 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 is expected from 2018 and onwards.

Due to the acquisition of SCALES Group reported growth in revenue in constant currencies is expected to be 4-8% while operating profit margin is still expected to be around 10%. Further investments to revenue is expected to increase to 16-18%.

The total data center investment is expected to be around DKK 250m in the period 2016 to 2018

thus on the justification of the termination. In June 2014, the customer initiated arbitration proceedings in Copenhagen, Denmark. NNIT estimates that an arbitration award would either reduce or increase operating profit in the range of DKK -87 Million to DKK 55 Million. The arbitration proceedings are still in their preparatory stages and NNIT cannot reliably predict the outcome of the resolution of the arbitration dispute. The date for the oral hearing has been fixed and NNIT expects a ruling by the arbitration tribunal at the beginning of 2018. NNIT has made a provision for the future arbitration outcome based on currently available information.

Note 5

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 March 31, 2017 is recognized in Equity (Other comprehensive income) with an amount of DKK 6.7m before tax (DKK 5.2m after tax).

Currency sensitivity and development

Currency sensitivities

Estimated annual impact on NNIT's operating profit of a 10% increase in the outlined currencies against DKK* Hedging period (months)
CNY DKK -18 million 14
EUR DKK 34 million -
CZK DKK -9 million 14
PHP DKK -4 million -
CHF DKK -2 million -
USD DKK -1 million

Hedging gains and losses do not impact operating profit as they are recognized under net financials. For further details on hedging, please see note 5 above.
* The above sensitivities address hypothetical situations and are provided for illustrative purposes only. The sensitivities assume the business develops consistent with the current 2017 business plan.

Currency development

NNIT has a net cost exposure in the Chinese yuan, the Philippine peso and the Swiss franc and therefore the depreciation of the Chinese yuan and the Philippine peso versus Danish kroner in Q1 2017 had a positive impact on reported operating profit.
