For almost 30 years SmartCraft has operated with a mission to make life easier and business more profitable for construction companies. Today, we are a leading provider of Software as a Service solutions to electricians, plumbers, carpenters and all other small and medium sized operators in the construction industry in the Nordics and in the UK. Growth has been tremendous throughout our history, and since we became a public company, listed on Oslo Børs close to four years ago, the annual growth rate (CAGR) has been 27 percent.
Nevertheless, the potential is enormous. The construction industry is still one of the least digitalized industries. Many companies still use pen and paper or simple spreadsheets instead of specialized systems, so the outlook for massive future growth both from new and existing customers is very much intact.
The growth was significant also when looking at 2024 separately, with a revenue growth of 27 percent (YoY) to NOK 511 million. Our annual recurring revenue (ARR) of NOK 482 million at the end of the year was 25 percent higher than one year earlier. Organic growth in ARR and revenue was 8 percent. The organic growth rates are lower than our target for the medium term, as they are heavily affected by the soft macroeconomic conditions that have hit the construction industry throughout the whole year. The continued market uncertainty has resulted in delayed purchasing decisions among our potential customers and more downgrades and increased churn driven by bankruptcies among existing customers. Additionally, the price increases we implemented in the fourth quarter are also more moderate than one year earlier.
Our underlying profitability is solid, although the margin picture in 2024 was below our ambitions. The adjusted EBITDA-capex was NOK 141 million in 2024, representing a margin of 28 percent, down from 32 percent in 2023. Our cost control remains tight, and the margin decline is a result of dilution

by the two recent acquisitions of Locka and Clixifix in the second quarter and increased capex related to the development of our disruptive solution for electricians, SmartCraft Spark, which launched its basic version late 2024, and with full version to be launched in 2025. Adjusted for these factors, the EBITDA-capex margin was 32 percent.
We continue to generate strong cash flow as a large portion of our revenue is pre-paid. In 2024 our operational cash flow was NOK 179 million, up from 136 million in the same period in 2023.
Our top priority entering 2025 is to navigate in the most challenging market conditions for our customers in decades, with new build activities at a very low level. For SmartCraft, it is important to balance long-term growth initiatives with shortterm optimization. And although we are always mindful of the short-term profitability, strategic choices for long-term growth take priority.
First of all, we continue to push hard for conversion of one-off revenues to recurring revenue in our
acquired businesses. This has a negative effect on revenue and EBITDA in the short-term but will undoubtedly create value longer-term. As an example, Locka produced negative EBITDA in the fourth quarter, but saw a very solid ARR development of 9% QoQ (~42% annualized).
Secondly, we continue to work very efficiently on new-sales, with positive results. Excluding the acquisitions in 2024, the gross number of new customers was 24 percent higher in 2024 than in 2023. Bygglet, the biggest solution in the group, measured by revenue, reached an all-time high of new-sales revenue in the fourth quarter.
We also keep very close attention to our operating expenses and investments. In the second half of 2024, capex increased YoY as a result of our decision to develop SmartCraft Spark. SmartCraft Spark is one example of the synergy initiatives we will increasingly push through. With an increasingly joint tech stack, we reduce complexity in development, unite our sales and marketing resources and make it easier to price optimize and upsell to existing customers. This way we will gradually be able to realize synergies to a much larger extent.
Wrapping up, I'd like to reiterate that there are still way too many craftsmen lacking proper digital tools to optimize their business performance and free up time. Therein lies our mission. We are enthusiastic about the opportunities and potential we see in this underpenetrated market. Our solid business model and strong financial position puts us in pole position to continue to invest for future growth.
The timing of a macroeconomic recovery remains uncertain, but forecasts for the construction industry indicates that a pick-up might start materializing in the second half of 2025. Sweden already leads the way following a string of interest rate cuts. The Finnish market, which has been hit hard by the downturn, seems to have leveled out and is starting to show green shoots. In Norway, the interest rate is still high and there are no immediate signs of recovery.
When the pickup eventually comes, we expect customer churn to decrease, customers to start upscaling their use of our tools, and organic growth to return to a higher level. Hence, we are well positioned to deliver on our medium-term financial targets of 15-20 percent organic growth with increasing margins.
The SmartCraft Group provides software solutions for the construction industry in Norway, Sweden, Finland and the UK. The parent company is SmartCraft ASA with head office in Hønefoss, Norway. In addition to the parent company the Group comprises 5 companies in Norway, 8 companies in Sweden, 1 company in Finland and 1 company in the UK. SmartCraft ASA owns 80% of the shares in the LTIP-structure where management and key employees holds the remaining 20%. Together, SmartCraft ASA and the LTIP-structure owns 100% (~99/~1 split) of the shares in SmartCraft Software AS, which owns 100% of the shares in the subsidiaries. SmartCraft ASA is a public limited company listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange "Oslo Børs".
The Group has an active M&A strategy and has acquired complementary solutions the last years. In 2024 the Group acquired the Locka solution in Sweden and entered the United Kingdom through the acquisition of the Clixifix solution.
The overall mission for the Group is to simplify business for craftsmen. To accomplish this SmartCraft has gathered several of the leading providers of digital solutions to the construction business ranging from 3D visualisation, quality and risk management, project and procurement management, and aftermarket defect management. This way the company can provide out-of-the-box best-of-breed solutions that exactly fit its customers' needs and ease the digital transformation of one of the least digitized industries.
The Group has a strategy to ensure sustained profitable growth and to capitalize on the market leading position in the underpenetrated Nordic and European market. A strong industry focus, a leading SaaS solution and an efficient sales organization ensure great sales execution with low customer touch. SmartCraft also recognizes sustainability as a strategic area, and focuses to an increasing degree on identifying areas for improvement and areas where the company can make an impact. SmartCraft will continue this work and set sustainability targets that enables the company to measure progress and contribution.
SmartCraft strongly believes in a robust business model based on a high share of recurring revenue and good cost control. Although the macroeconomic conditions currently are challenging and bankruptcies increase our churn, SmartCraft has a strong financial position and the fact that the company generates a strong operational cash flow and is self-funded puts it in a great position to create further shareholder value.
The market for digital solutions for the construction industry is highly fragmented, and SmartCraft has taken a strong position as a consolidator. SmartCraft is actively searching for potential acquisitions, focusing on complementary technologies, new geographies and customer bases. In 2024, the Group has successfully acquired the Locka solution in Sweden, and through the acquisition of Clixifix the Group entered the UK market increasing its total applicable market (TAM) significantly. SmartCraft will continue to execute on its M&A strategy in the years to come.
The Group has many opportunities to upsell on its base of more than 13 400 customers and 130 000 users and will continue to explore these in the short and medium term. SmartCraft is looking to integrate and synergize its solutions where it makes sense. However, the company takes a pragmatic approach and does not want to jeopardize the uniqueness, flow and functionalities in the solutions at any cost, but will capitalize on areas where it benefits customers. In 2024, the Group has invested in resources to speed up the development of the groundbreaking SmartCraft Spark solution, combining the features of all our other solutions addressing electricians into a new and disruptive solution for this trade. And, with SmartCraft Core as the engine, the features of SmartCraft Spark can be efficiently reused to create disruptive solutions for other trades.
The consolidated financial statement for 2024 for the SmartCraft Group is prepared in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards as endorsed by the European Union (EU) and Norwegian authorities and effective as of December 31st, 2024. These financial statements also provide disclosures as specified under the Norwegian Accounting Act (Regnskapsloven). In the Board's opinion, the financial statements provide an accurate view of the company's financial position at the end of the fiscal year.
In 2024 the Group has a revenue of
TNOK 510 763 (TNOK 401 654 in 2023), a growth of 27 percent and an organic growth of 8 percent. The current macroeconomic climate has affected the company's growth through increasing churn and downgrades, and is well below the ambitions, but with a strong customer base with high recurring revenue the Group is expecting higher organic growth when the market turns.
The SmartCraft Group has high profitability and is guiding on increasing margin in the medium term. However, in 2024 a decline in the adjusted EBITDA-R&D capex margin to 28 percent (32 percent in 2023) was observed, driven by dilution from the
less profitable acquired solutions, and the strategic investments in development.
Total depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets in 2024 is TNOK 53 538 (TNOK 36 204 in 2023), where TNOK 25 206 (TNOK 15 894 in 2023) is amortization of intangible assets related to M&A. Operating profit is TNOK 130 992 (TNOK 129 517 in 2023).
Profit before tax is TNOK 132 447 in 2024 (TNOK 136 268 in 2023). The decrease in profit before tax is mainly due to the increased cost level in acquired solutions, increased depreciations, and changes in foreign exchange currency as the Group is exposed to fluctuations in NOK compared to SEK, EUR and GBP through its operations in multiple countries.
Net cash provided from operational activities was TNOK 179 016 in 2024 (TNOK 136 297 in 2023), a growth of 31 percent. The increase in net cash provided from operational activities in 2024 is due to increased profit but is also positively impacted by the earn-out payment in 2023.
Net cash outflows from investing activities were TNOK 204 278 in 2024 (TNOK 62 914 in 2023). This is primarily connected to the acquisitions of Locka (April 2024) and Clixifix (May 2024), together with capitalized development costs of a total of TNOK 48 664 (TNOK 37 472 in 2023).
Net cash outflows from financing activities are mainly affected by the acquisition of treasury shares, and repayment of lease liabilities. The total cash outflow related to purchase of treasury shares in 2024 were TNOK 40 865 (TNOK 53 508 in 2023). In total the net cash outflows by financing activities were TNOK 59 170 in 2024 (TNOK 64 686 in 2023). In the Board's opinion the Group's liquidity is solid and the Group has sufficient funds to settle all obligations when due. As of December 31st, 2024, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of TNOK 125 656 (TNOK 206 024 as of December 31st, 2023).
Shareholder's equity was TNOK 939 046 as of December 31st, 2024 (TNOK 843 675 as of December 31st, 2023) with an equity ratio of 73 percent (77 percent as of December 31st, 2023). The retained equity increased due to the profit in 2024. During 2024 the Group has continued to acquire treasury shares in SmartCraft ASA as part of buy-back programs managed by Carnegie. The difference between par value of the shares and the purchase price gives a total reduction in retained equity of TNOK 40 851 during 2024. As part of establishing the LTIP there is also recognized a non-controlling interest in the Group. The booked value of the non-controlling interest is TNOK 9 486 as of December 31st, 2024 (TNOK 4 631 as of December 31st, 2023). The LTIP is structured as a geared instrument with a corresponding risk for the participants. As of December 31st, 2024, changes compared to last year are due to changes in participants in the LTIP during 2024 by establishing a second investment company.
The financial statement for 2024 for SmartCraft ASA is prepared in accordance with the Norwegian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. In the Board's opinion, the financial statements provide an accurate view of the company's financial position at the end of the fiscal year.
SmartCraft ASA had a total revenue of TNOK 22 397 in 2024 (TNOK 14 289 in 2023), and operating profit of TNOK -13 161 in 2024 (TNOK -9 120 in 2023). As of December 31st, 2024, the company has a total equity of TNOK 593 019 with an equity ratio of 88 percent.
In the Board's opinion the company's liquidity is satisfactory and the company has sufficient funds to settle all obligations when due.
The Group is subject to various types of risks
relating to operations and finance. The Group's risk management system shall ensure a systematic and uniform approach to identify, evaluate and mitigate risks, and describe processes and internal control actions.
The Group's operations involve development and maintenance of software solutions sold to a third party. Trends within the software industry can affect the overall level of demand for IT services and accordingly influence the Group's sales. Further, the ability to attract and retain sufficient competent personnel to secure the Group's future development of existing and new solutions is crucial to the Group's operations. The Group's Chief Technical Officer oversees the technical resources within the Group and assesses any measures if needed.
A significant part of the Group's growth is through acquisitions. The inability to secure an acquisition in line with the Group's product portfolio, technology and culture could result in negative effects in operational focus and financial performance. A thorough and tested M&A and onboarding process has historically limited any negative effects of acquisitions.
Volatile, negative, or uncertain economic or political conditions may have a negative effect on the Group's operations and financial performance. Such events may result in a loss of revenue as customers stop buying the solution, or increased costs if the Group needs to change to a more expensive business operation to keep the services running. The recent years' events and inflationary pressure have increased the Group's churn and customer downgrades, as bankruptcies increase and many customers experience reduced activity. The operational risks are considered moderate given the uncertainty of the situation.
The Group's customers are all in the same industry which exposes the Group to an industry specific risk. Changes in the macro environment may
affect the industry, and the Group, negatively. The construction industry has seen macroeconomic challenges in the last years, resulting in fewer new build projects. The Group focus on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) which have the renovation segment as their primary target market. The renovation segment is bigger than the new build part of the industry and has proven to be less volatile, growing steadily over the last years and is expected to do so for the coming years. Additionally, most of our customers are electricians and plumbers that are experiencing high demand due to energy efficiency initiatives of existing buildings. The risk is considered moderate.
As the Group operates internationally it is exposed to other currencies than NOK (functional currency). However, there is a natural hedge on the currency exchange risk as all operating entities have material costs and revenue in their functional currency, and the Group has both assets and liabilities in foreign currency. Still, the Group sees an increase in the number of suppliers linking their prices to a currency other than local currency, and the currency risk is considered moderate.
The active M&A strategy may be a significant contributor to the Group's growth. As the Group's profitability and financial position may fluctuate, as well as the tech sector specifically and general financial market changes, there is a risk of the Group not being able to obtain funding on favorable terms. In this event, the use of a larger portion of the Group's cash will reduce the Group's funds available for operations or future business opportunities. The risk is considered low/moderate. The Group's financial position as of December 31st, 2024, leaves the Group with positive direct exposure to the increased interest rates across the operating countries as the Group is in a net cash position with no external loan facilities.
Credit risk is considered low/moderate as the Group invoice most of its services upfront and can block access to non-paying customers, although
there is a reminder period where the Group runs the risk of loss. Additionally, the Group's customers are operating in the same industry, exposing the Group to general market/industry risk. On historical basis the market risk is considered low/ moderate. The Group has ample cash to support operations and cover its current liabilities.
The SmartCraft Group has 271 employees as of December 31st, 2024. There has been no reported work-related injuries or accidents in 2024. Absence due to sickness was 4.6%.
Society is increasingly expectating companies to be transparent about their corporate actions, diversity and equal employment opportunities. The Group is, by its Code of Conduct, committed to build a highly skilled workforce and ensuring that recruitment processes actively foster equal opportunities and diversity. The company prohibits discrimination in any form, whether based on political views, sexual orientation, disability, union membership, or age. As of December 31st, 2024, there are 5 men and 3 women in manager positions including the Group executive suite.
SmartCraft ASA has 4 employees as of December 31st, 2024. There has been no reported workrelated injuries or accidents in 2024. There was no absence due to sickness. The company's human resource policy is based on equal rights for all, and there is no difference in treatment on any basis in terms of salary or recruitment. The Board of Directors is comprised of 4 men and 3 women.
The Transparency Act was implemented from July 1st, 2022, and the SmartCraft Group is according to the Act required to carry out due diligence assessments according to OECD's guidelines. The Group published an annual report in accordance with the Transparency Act at smartcraft.com in June 2024.
The Group's corporate social responsibilities are included in the separate sustainability report.
The Group does not pollute the external environment beyond what ensues from normal office operations. The Board of Directors and employees are traveling as a part of daily operations. The Group encourages the use of environmentally friendly transport, and if possible, video conferences, to reduce the effects on the environment. See the separate sustainability report.
The Company has directors' and officers' liability insurance. The insurance covers the Board of Directors as well as the executive officers of the company from legal personal liability for financial damage caused by the performance of their duties.

Mr. Ivarsson and Mr. Engström represents Valedo Partners III AB which holds 39.6% of the shares in SmartCraft ASA. All board members are independent of Group management and material business contacts.
The objectives, responsibilities and functions of the Board of Directors and the CEO shall be in compliance with rules and standards applicable to the Group, which are described in the Company's "Instructions for the board of directors of SmartCraft ASA". The Board has the ultimate responsibility for the management of the Company and the Group and for supervising Group Management.

The Board has established two committees, an Audit Committee, and a Remuneration Committee.
Pursuant to section 6-41 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, Rule Book II and recommendations set out in the Code, the Company is obliged to establish an audit committee. The Committee members are appointed by and among the Board of Directors.
Per December 31st, 2024, the audit committee

The remuneration committee shall provide the Board of Directors with a guideline and recommendation for the salary and other remuneration for executive management, which shall be made in accordance with section 6-16a of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act. The members of the remuneration committee are elected by and among the members of the Board of Directors for a term of up to two years.

Group Management regularly updates the Board of Directors including operational reviews, HSE (Health, Safety and Environment) measures, financial status and key performance indicators. Prior to each Board meeting, the CEO and CFO prepares a report to the Board of Directors, which includes this information in addition to any items requested by Board members and items requiring action by the Board of Directors. Because the Group operates internationally, it is required to comply with numerous national and international laws and regulations.

The members of the Board of Directors receive remuneration in accordance with their individual roles. The remuneration is not linked to Company performance and members are not granted share options.

Members of the Board of Directors and/or companies with which they are associated should not take on specific assignments for the Company in addition to their appointment as a member of the Board of Directors, but if they do, this shall be disclosed to the full Board. The remuneration for such additional duties will be approved by the Board of Directors. There were no such assignments in 2024.
The policy for remuneration of executive management of the Group was last updated in April 2023 and presented at the Annual General Meeting in 2023. The remuneration policy must be approved by the Annual General Meeting upon any material changes and at minimum every four years.

To strengthen the Board of Directors' work on financial reporting and internal control, the auditor shall provide a report to the audit committee on the main features of the audit in respect to the previous financial year, and especially mention any material weaknesses identified in the internal control relating to the financial reporting process.
Remuneration to the auditor is approved by the General Meeting and the Board of Directors shall specify the executive management's right to use the auditor for other purposes than auditing. For remuneration to the auditor see note 21 to the consolidate financial statements.

The reporting entity reflected in these financial statements is comprised of SmartCraft ASA and the consolidated subsidiaries that make up the SmartCraft Group. The parent company SmartCraft ASA is a Norwegian entity and headquarters is located Strandgata 3, 3513 Hønefoss, Norway. The Group operates with offices in Norway, Sweden, Finland and United Kingdom.
SmartCraft ASA is a software company with a portfolio of related software brands. Currently, Bygglet, Cordel, Congrid, EL-VIS, HomeRun, Kvalitetskontroll, El-verdi, Elinn, Coredination, Locka and Clixifix are all brands in the Group's portfolio. The Group operates in the Nordic region and the UK and provides SaaS and subscription software solutions for construction- and craftsmen companies, with market leading positions.
The consolidated financial statements of SmartCraft ASA and its subsidiaries are prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as endorsed by the European Union (EU) and Norwegian authorities and effective as of December 31st, 2024. These financial statements also provide disclosures as specified under the Norwegian Accounting Act (Regnskapsloven). The financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain assets, liabilities, and financial instruments, which are measured at fair value. Preparation of financial statements including note disclosures requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Slight rounding differences may occur between
the financial statements and the note disclosures. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, or if the revision affects both current and future periods. Judgments made by management in the application of IFRS which have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements and estimates, with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year, are discussed in note 4.
This following description of material accounting principles applies to the SmartCraft Group's 2024 financial reporting, including all comparative figures. The relevant accounting policies for selected financial statement line items are described in detail in the specific notes in this set of financial statements. Changes in accounting policies and new pronouncements are discussed at the end of this section.
The consolidated financial statements include SmartCraft ASA and subsidiaries, in which SmartCraft ASA is exposed, or has the rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Power is normally achieved through ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the voting power.
Subsidiaries are included from the date control commences until the date control ceases. There were three acquisitions completed during 2023-2024. Coredination AB where control was commenced as of July 1st 2023, Locka Group AB as of 1st April 2024 and Clixifix Limited as of 1st May 2024.
Intercompany transactions and intercompany balances, including internal profits and unrealized gains and losses, are eliminated.
The acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are recognized separately at the acquisition date at their fair value irrespective of any non-controlling interest, and goodwill recognized to the extent the consideration exceeds identified net assets.
Goodwill is recognized as a part of business combinations. Goodwill is initially measured either as the excess of the consideration over the SmartCraft Group's interest or the fair value of 100 percent of the acquiree in excess of the acquiree's identifiable net assets (full goodwill). Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually, and more frequently if indicators of possible impairment are observed. Goodwill is allocated to the cash generating units or groups of cash generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination and that are monitored for internal management purposes.
The Group presents its financial statements in the Norwegian krone (NOK). This is also the parent company's functional currency. Each subsidiary has local currency of their market as the functional currency. For consolidation purposes, the balance sheet figures for subsidiaries with a different functional currency have been translated at the rate applicable at the balance sheet date. The income statement has been translated at the average rate for the reported period. Exchange rate differences are recognized in equity. Changes in exchange rate are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as they occur during the period. When investments in foreign subsidiaries are sold the accumulated exchange rate differences relating to the subsidiary are recognized in the income statement.
Intangible assets acquired individually or as a group are recognized at cost when acquired. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value separately from goodwill when they arise from contractual or legal rights or can be separated from the acquired entity and sold or transferred. Internally generated intangible assets are recognized when the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Development costs are capitalized as intangible assets at cost in accordance with IAS 38 Intangible Assets when the recognition criteria are met. Research expenditures are expensed as incurred. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life are tested for impairment yearly. For intangible assets with definite useful life, SmartCraft reviews the residual value and useful life of its assets, with any estimate changes accounted for prospectively over the remaining useful life of the asset.
Expenses relating to research activities are recognized as they occur. Expenses relating to development activities are capitalized to the extent that the product or process is technically and commercially viable and the Group has sufficient resources to complete the development work. Expenses that are capitalized include the costs of materials, direct wage costs and a share of the directly attributable common expenses. Capitalized development costs are recognized at their cost minus accumulated amortization and impairment losses.
Cost of building new features and functionality together with significant and pervasive improvements of the core platform, provided that the significant and pervasive improvements of parts or main components of the core platform will generate probable future economic benefits, are capitalized as development costs and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic lifetime.
To the extent developers perform updates that are required to maintain the products functionalities, the costs are expensed.
Customer relationships are recognized as a part of business combinations and measured initially as the net present value of the lifetime revenue from existing customers less cost to fulfill the contractual obligations. Customer relationships are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the expected lifetime of the relationship.
Software is recognized both as a part of business combinations and by internal development. Acquired software in a business combination is measured at fair value. The fair value measurement is if possible based on observable market date, if such date is not available, fair value is estimated as the expected cost to develop a similar software and internally developed software is capitalized in accordance with the measurement criteria in IAS 38 and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic lifetime.
Brand names that contribute to future economic benefits are recognized separately from Goodwill as a part of business combinations. Brand names are measured using the royalty method, the management evaluates whether to have indefinite or definite useful lifetime and tested annually for impairment.
At contract inception, SmartCraft identifies the promised licenses and services within the contract and determines which of those are separate performance obligations. SmartCraft performance obligations within the contracts are described below. The timing of the transfer is determined based on when the customer obtains control of the delivered licenses or services.
SmartCraft usually does not pay sales commission to its partners on sales to customers. On the few occasions it has been paid sales commissions SmartCraft has applied the practical expedient for costs to obtain a contracts to immediately expense sales commissions because the amortization period of the asset otherwise would have used is one year or less. SmartCraft generates revenue from five main sources and subcategories in total.
Revenue from software subscriptions (right to access) are recognized on a straight-line basis over time, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services. Subscription contracts are invoiced in advance, up to and mainly on a 12month interval.
Revenue from the transactional use of integrated or bundled 3rd party services are recognized at a point in time, on the time of the services being rendered and invoiced subsequently at the end of the month.
Revenue from the sale of support, consultancy, system set-up and other advisory services are recognized at a point in time, on the time of the services being rendered and invoiced subsequently at the end of the month. Expert services included in the SaaS and software subscriptions is not recognized as independent revenues.
At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
For contracts that constitute, or contain a lease, the Group separates lease components if it
benefits from the use of each underlying asset either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available, and the underlying asset is neither highly dependent on, nor highly interrelated with, the other underlying assets in the contract. The Group then accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract.
At the lease commencement date, the Group recognizes a lease liability and corresponding rightof-use asset for all lease agreements in which it is the lessee, except for the following exemptions applied:
For these leases, the Group recognizes the lease payments as other operating expenses in the statement of profit or loss when they incur.
The lease liability is recognized at the commencement date of the lease. The Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term that are not paid at the commencement date. The lease term represents the non-cancellable period of the lease, together with periods covered by an option either to extend or to terminate the lease when the Group is reasonably certain to exercise this option.
The lease payments included in the measurement compromise of:
Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option.
o Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising an option to terminate the lease.
The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications, or to reflect adjustments in lease payments due to an adjustment in an index or rate.
The Group does not include variable lease payments dependent upon an index or a rate, in the lease liability. Instead, the Group recognizes these variable lease expenses in the statement of profit or loss.
SmartCraft presents its lease liabilities as separate line items in the statement of financial position and has initially applied weighted average incremental borrowing rate in the range of 2.75 % to 9.98 % when recognizing the lease liability.
The Group measures the right-of-use asset at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of the right-of-use asset comprise:
SmartCraft applies the depreciation requirements in IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment in depreciating the right-of-use asset, except that the right-of-use asset is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the lease term and the remaining useful life of the right-ofuse asset.
The Group applies IAS 36 Impairment of Assets to determine whether the right-of-use asset is impaired and to account for any impairment loss identified.
Financial assets represent a contractual right by the SmartCraft Group to receive cash or another financial asset in the future. Financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and withheld cash receivable. On initial recognition, a financial asset is measured at fair value, and classified for subsequent measurement at amortized cost; at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) or at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). Classification depends on the business model and, for some instruments, the entity's choice. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash from the asset have expired or when SmartCraft has transferred the asset.
Financial liabilities represent a contractual obligation by the SmartCraft Group to deliver cash in the future and are classified as either current or non-current. Financial liabilities include the long-term loan, contingent liabilities, accounts payable and other financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value, including transaction costs directly attributable to the transaction, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation is discharged through payment or when SmartCraft is legally released from the primary responsibility for the liability.
SmartCraft measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value for the purposes of recognition or disclosure. Non-recurring fair value measurement is used for transactions, such as business combinations, contingent consideration and other non-routine transactions. SmartCraft does not have any recurring fair value measurement as the group does not have any derivative financial instruments, equity investments or other similar financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value.
Payments to employees, such as wages, salaries, social security contributions, paid annual leave and bonus agreements are accrued in the period in which the associated services are rendered by the employee. All Group companies have defined contribution pension plans. The Group has no other obligations after payment of the pension premium has been made. The pension premiums are charged to expenses as they are incurred.
The company has established a pension scheme as required by Norwegian law for employees in the Norwegian entities.
The income tax expense consists of tax payable and changes to deferred tax. Deferred tax liability/ tax assets are calculated on all taxable temporary differences, except for goodwill for which amortization is not deductible for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is probable that the company will have sufficient profit for tax purposes to utilize the tax asset. SmartCraft recognizes formerly unrecognized deferred tax assets to the extent that it has become probable that the Group can utilize the deferred tax asset. Similarly, the company reduces its deferred tax assets to the extent that it can no longer utilize these.
Deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets are measured based on the expected future tax rates applicable to the companies in the Group where temporary differences have arisen. Deferred tax
liabilities and deferred tax assets are recognized at their nominal value and are classified as noncurrent liabilities or non-current assets in the balance sheet. The tax payable and deferred taxes are recognized directly in equity to the extent they relate to equity transactions.
Provisions are recognized when, and only when, the Group has a valid liability (legal or estimated) because of events that have taken place and it can be proven probable (more probable than not) that a financial settlement will take place, as a result of a liability, and that the size of the amount can be measured reliably.
There are no changes in accounting principles compared to previous years. The Group has applied all relevant IFRS standards that were in effect for 2024.
None of the issued, not yet effective, accounting standards or amendments to such standards are expected to have significant effects for the SmartCraft Group's financial reporting.
Treasury shares are shares in SmartCraft ASA controlled by the Group. When there are transactions with treasury shares the nominal value of the shares are booked as treasury shares. Differences between nominal value of the shares and the acquisition cost/selling price of the shares are booked towards other components of equity.
The application of accounting policies requires that management makes estimates and judgements in determining certain revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. The following areas involve a significant degree of judgement and complexity, and may result in significant variation in amounts:
Credit risk for the Group consists of balances of accounts receivable in addition to cash deposits held at several banks that have a long history and credible reputations. Management believes customer risk is low/moderate as customers generally need to pay upfront in order to receive services. As the Group has a very diverse customer base and limited customer acquisition cost as well as no material customer exposures, credit checks of new and existing customers are not deemed necessary. If existing customers are not paying for subscriptions the Group can block access to their systems, although the Group is at risk for loss in the period between due date and blocking access. Exposure to default risk on individual customers is low as the Group has a large number of customers. However, most customers are related to the same industry and this exposes the Group to the industry specific risk. For additional information regarding loss and loss allowance, see note 15.
The Group needs to maintain enough liquidity in order to pay running operating costs. Noncurrent lease liabilities and non-current financial liabilities have a maturity of up to 7 years, and all other financial liabilities (current lease liabilities and accounts payable) are due within 12 months. The SmartCraft Group has ample cash to support operations and liabilities. The SmartCraft Group has no investments in equity securities and does
not use financial derivatives. For information regarding future payments of liability, see note 28.
Management believes that SmartCraft is in a growth phase with the intention of increasing market share and expand into new markets. Management will undertake M&A where it sees market growth opportunities. The Group intends to fund M&A and internal growth through current cash balances, equity, and external capital from bonds, banks and similar lenders. The Group prepares an annual detailed liquidity budget to ensure sufficient liquidity throughout the year. The Group policy is to keep its cash in a checking account. The banks where SmartCraft keeps excess liquidity are well established and reputable with a long history of holding deposits without defaults.
The Group has no financial liabilities to lenders which bear an interest as of 31.12.2024. See notes 7, 22 and 28 for more information. The group has no hedging of interest risk.
As of December 31st 2024 the Group has financial liabilities of foreign currency of TNOK 49 595, and financial assets in foreign currency in total of TNOK 147 609. Net amount in foreign currency translates to a financial asset of TNOK 98 014, and the exposure of foreign currency risk is considered low.

Goodwill is recognized as a part of business combinations. Goodwill is initially measured either as the excess of the consideration over the SmartCraft Group's interest or the fair value of 100% of the acquiree in excess of the acquiree's identifiable net assets (full goodwill). Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually, and more frequently if indicators of possible impairment are observed, in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. Goodwill is
allocated to the cash generating units or groups of cash generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination and that are monitored for internal management purposes.
The SmartCraft Group has goodwill in connection with the acquisitions of Cordel Norge AS in 2017, the Bygglet Group in 2018, the EL-Info Group in 2019, Congrid Oy in 2020, Homerunbynet Oy and Kvalitetskontroll AS in 2021, Elverdi Norge AS and Inprog AS in 2022, Coredination AB in 2023 and Locka Group AB and Clixifix Limited in 2024.

The goodwill is related to know-how and other non-identified assets from the acquisitions of shares in the acquired companies. Impairment testing of the goodwill is carried out at the end of the year for the respective cash generating units to which the goodwill relates to. Recoverable amount, which is determined based on the higher of the value in use or fair value, is derived from an assessment of the expected future cash flows before tax for the next five years, discounted at an appropriate discount rate before tax that takes into account the maturity and risk. Recoverable amount
Estimates relating to the impairment test are as follows:
will therefore demonstrate what the value of the asset is expected to contribute.
The estimated recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount with a significant headroom for all Cash Generating Units (CGU). No impairment losses are recognized during 2024. In connection with the impairment testing of goodwill, sensitivity analysis has been carried out. The sensitivity analysis has tested changes in WACC, revenue growth rates, net working capital and EBITDA margins.

The basis for the projection of the future cash flows estimated is based on the financial budget of one year approved by the Board of Directors. The budget in combination with the forecasts represent the management's best estimate of the range of economic conditions that will exist over the useful life of the asset. The remaining four years of the forecast period are estimated based on budget and projected performance. After the five-year period the growth rate is based on the risk-free rate in the applicable market.
Growth rate is represented by five-year CAGR, which is defined as the average annual gross profit growth rate over a five-year projected cash flow period. Average rates of growth in operating revenue are based on the management's expectations of future conditions in the markets in which the business operates, and historical growth rate for the CGUs. The projected cash flow also includes a growth assumption of 2% in the terminal value.
The 5-year Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is the rate of return that is required for an investment to grow from its beginning balance to its ending balance five years later. The calculation assumes that profits are reinvested at the end of each period. When testing for impairment the Group has used a 5-year CAGR in the range between 13.6% and 18.0% to project the cash flows beyond the period covered by the most recent budgets. When testing for impairment in 2023 the applied 5-year CAGR were between 16.5% and 17.3%.
EBITDA margins are based on the margins achieved historically, adjusted for expected future developments in market conditions.
Future cash flows are discounted to present value using a discount rate based on a calculation of a weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The pre-tax WACC for each CGU is calculated on basis of a risk-free rate and a risk premium, adjusted by a beta for the software market. Adjustments for country specific risks are applied where necessary. The discount rates applied to the cash flow projections range between 12.1% and 17.8%. When testing for impairment in 2023 the WACC ranged from 15.1% to 17.8%.
| WACC per CGU | 2024 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| The SmartCraft Sweden Group | 15.6 % | 15.1 % |
| The SmartCraft Finland Group | 16.5 % | 16.4 % |
| The SmartCraft Norway Group | 17.8 % | 17.8 % |
| The SmartCraft UK Group | 12.1 % | - |
As of December 31st 2024, the Group's value in use for each CGU was significantly higher than the carrying amount of tested goodwill in the CGUs Norway, Sweden and Finland. A sensitivity analysis has been performed in order to determine if a reasonable change in key assumptions would cause the carrying amount to exceed the recoverable amount. The sensitivity analysis shows little headroom for the CGU UK. As UK is a new geography and CGU in 2024, after the acquisition of Clixifix, the carrying amount is expected to be close to the recoverable amount and thus the sensitivity analysis is not raising a concern.

Deferred tax assets are recognized when the Group can document future taxable profits to utilize the tax asset per company. The deferred tax asset is recognized for the amount corresponding to the expected taxable profit based on the convincing evidence. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that convincing
evidence no longer exists for the utilization. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that convincing evidence exists supporting that taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. The actual outcome of future tax costs may deviate from these estimates.

Office buildings consist of leased assets (rightof-use assets). The Group has contracts divided into the category's office buildings, vehicles and machinery. Short-term and low-value leases are excluded from the lease accounting. When measuring leases, SmartCraft includes fixed
lease payments for extension periods reasonably certain to be used. As a practical expedient, nonlease components are not separated from lease contracts, and not recognized but expensed in the period when the lease expense is incurred. Judgement is applied in assessing whether renewal options are reasonably certain to be utilized.
Depreciation expenses are measured on a straight-line basis over the contract period of the asset, commencing when the asset is ready for its intended use.

leases. The amount of the future minimum lease payments due under these leases is considered to not be material.

The annual accounts have been prepared in conformity with the provisions of the Norwegian Accounting Act and good accounting practice.
In the preparation of the annual accounts estimates and assumptions have been made that have affected the profit and loss account and the valuation of assets and liabilities, and uncertain assets and liabilities on the balance sheet date in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice. Areas which to a large extent contain such subjective evaluations, a high degree of complexity, or areas where the assumptions and estimates are material for the annual accounts, are described in the notes.
Services are posted as income as they are delivered. The company provides management services for the other companies in the SmartCraft Group.
The tax charge in the profit and loss account consists of tax payable for the period and the change in deferred tax. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rate at 22 % on the basis of tax-reducing and tax-increasing temporary differences that exist between accounting and tax values, and the tax loss carried forward at the end of the accounting year. Tax-increasing and tax-reducing temporary differences that reverse or may reverse in the same period are set off and entered net. The net deferred tax receivable is entered on the balance sheet to the extent that it is likely that it can be utilised.
Fixed assets consist of assets intended for longterm ownership and use. Fixed assets are valued at acquisition cost less depreciation and write-downs. Long-term liabilities are entered on the balance sheet at the nominal amount at the time of the transaction.
Plant and equipment is capitalised and appreciated over the economic lifetime of the asset. Significant items of plant and equipment that consist of several material components with different lifetimes are broken down in order to establish different depreciation periods for the different components. Direct maintenance of plant and equipment is expensed on an ongoing basis under operating costs, while additions or improvements are added to the asset's cost price and depreciated in line with the asset. Plant and equipment is written down to the recoverable amount in the event of a fall in value that is not expected to be temporary. The recoverable amount is the higher of the net sales value and the value in use. Value in use is the present value of future cash flows related to the asset. The write-down is reversed when the basis for the write-down is no longer present.
Current assets and short-term liabilities consist normally of items that fall due for payment within one year of the balance sheet date, as well as items related to the stock cycle. Current assets are valued at the lower of acquisition cost and fair value. Short-term liabilities are entered on the balance sheet at the nominal amount at the time of the transaction.
Subsidiaries and associated companies are valued using the cost method in the company accounts. The investment is valued at acquisition cost for the shares unless a write-down has been necessary. A write-down to fair value is made when a fall in value is due to reasons that cannot be expected to be temporary and such write-down must be considered as necessary in accordance with good accounting practice. Write-downs are reversed when the basis for the write-down is no longer present.
Dividends, group contributions and other distributions from subsidiaries are posted to income in the same year as provided for in the distributor's accounts. To the extent that dividends/ group contributions exceed the share of profits earned after the date of acquisition, the excess amounts represents a repayment of invested capital, and distributions are deducted from the investment's value in the balance sheet of the parent company.
Receivables from customers and other receivables are entered at par value after deducting a provision for expected losses. The provision for losses is made on the basis of an individual assessment of the respective receivables. In addition an unspecified provision is made to cover expected losses on claims in respect of customer receivables.
The cash flow statement has been prepared using the indirect method. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, bank deposits and other shortterm, liquid investments.
SmartCraft ASA have a limited activity other than management of group companies.
The company has a credit risk related to receivables from group companies. The risk of a counterpart not having the financial capacity to fulfil its obligations is considered to be low. Historically, there have been no losses on intercompany receivables.
The company's currency exposure is related to intercompany balances being booked in the local currency of the counterpart. As of December 31st, 2024 SmartCraft ASA has financial assets of TEUR 5 855, TSEK 551, TGBP 14 and TUSD 232. The exposure of foreign currency is concidered low.
