Sustainable growth
Defining Adopting to EU taxonomy
Measuring
CO2e target aligned with Paris Agreement
Process
Sustainable investments through Next

Disciplined capital allocation to unlock growth and value
- Focus on long-term profitability and value creation in all business areas
- Preserve financial flexibility to execute on strategic opportunities
- M&A activities primarily to strengthen our current market positions – main focus will remain on Nordic Marketplaces
- Financial shareholder in Adevinta material value creation potential, but our shareholding will never stand in the way of value-creating transactions
- Buybacks or extraordinary dividend as suitable ways to adapt capital structure
Main principles Capital allocation beyond organic investments in business areas 2019-2020*


Our ownership position in Adevinta is financial – limited flexibility in the short/medium term
Hard lock-up period 3 months following closing
• But eBay can transfer (non-) voting shares off-market immediately at closing, up until 197m shares
Right-of-way period up to 15 months
- eBay has preferential right to sell shares
- If Schibsted intents to sell during this period, we must notify eBay, in which case eBay may require Schibsted to delay its sale for 90 days
- However, there is a carve out from this, which allows Schibsted to sell up to 3%-points without consent from eBay
Tag along period up to 18 months after right-of-way period
• Each party may participate in selldowns by the other party

Flexibility to pursue strategic opportunities
Well diversified debt maturity profile (NOKm*)

Targeting financial gearing in the range of 1-3x (NIBD/EBITDA according to bank definition)


Maintaining our financial targets
Nordic Marketplaces revenues Targeting annual revenue growth of
8-12% for the segment in the medium- to long-term
Leverage policy Targeting NIBD/EBITDA in the range of 1-3, making it possible to lever up if a particularly attractive investment becomes available
Any over-capitalization to be addressed through (extraordinary) dividend or share buyback

Stable to increasing dividend over time
To conclude
We have delivered on our strategies
- Competent financial owner of Adevinta
- True Nordic player with online classifieds acquisitions in Finland and Denmark*
- Solid operational execution and shareholder value creation
We are uniquely positioned for growth in the Nordics
- Strong brands and capabilities
- Products and services providing value for our users
We are more than the sum of our parts
- Building on a solid foundation, reaching for a shared purpose
- Proven track record of innovation and investments in growth
