Looking Ahead

We have continued to evaluate opportunities in adjacent sectors with an eye toward diversification that complements our core business. While no decision has been finalised in this regard, we remain confident in our methodical approach to identifying the right long-term opportunities.

Board meetings and committee activity proceeded as planned, with continued emphasis on maintaining strong governance, risk awareness, and compliance across the Group. I have also participated in select industry forums and high-level stakeholder meetings, reinforcing River Tech's pr esence in key conversations and keeping pace with shifting dynamics in our space.

cEO STATEMENT rIVERTECH - BRINGING YOUR IDEAS TO LIFE

As we reflect on the close of 2024 and look ahead through the first quarter of 2025, I am pleased to report that River Tech has maintained a strong and stable trajectory, operationally and financially. Our focus on operational efficiency, consistent performance, and financial prudence has enabled us to strengthen our foundation further while remaining agile in an evolving market landscape.

Throughout 2024, we delivered a stable performance across all key financial metrics, with profitability remaining strong and cash flow generation consistently healthy. Revenue remained within expected ranges, preserving high-quality margins through disciplined cost management and sustained focus on our core offering.

This period of stability has once again enabled us to deliver value to our shareholders. I am pleased to announce that, following the previously distributed dividend of 2.5 NOK per share, we will now be issuing an increased dividend of 3 NOK per share. This includes a special dividend of 0.5 NOK, intended to reinforce investor confidence in the company during a time of broader market turbulence. The increase reflects our continued confidence in the company's financial position and our steadfast commitment to rewarding the trust placed in us by our shareholders.

2025 Outlook: Building on a Strong Foundation

With the fundamentals in place, Q1 2025 marked the start of a strategic shift in how we think about growth. Having achieved operational maturity in our core business, our attention has turned towards identifying new B2B partnerships that align with our capabilities and long-term vision. This is not a departure from our disciplined approach. It is a natural next step as we evolve our business into a more connected, opportunity driven ecosystem.

We remain committed to preserving our core strengths: efficient operations, high service standards, and strong cash flow. At the same time, we will continue to assess new business development opportunities that complement our existing framework and deliver long-term shareholder value.

I want to thank our shareholders for their continued trust and our teams for their professionalism and focus. River Tech is entering its next chapter with a clear purpose and is open to opportunity.
