FINANCIAL REVIEW | PROFITABLE REVENUE GROWTH

			Comments:
			• Revenue growth
			reflects capacity increase and
			higher rates
			• Depreciation and
			amortisation lower
			than 2017 as
			customer relationships
			arisen from
			acquisitions are
			fully amortised
			• EBITDA growth
			mainly due to
			revenue growth, high utilisation and
			higher rates
			• EPS Q2-17 based
			on lower number
			of shares, pre IPO

FINANCIAL REVIEW | NORWAY

Summing up

• Revenue growth enabled by increased capacity, high utilisation and higher rates
• EBITDA improvement driven by the revenue growth, with higher rates and high utilisation
• Improved sales of New Services

1) IPO costs and other non-recurring items of NOK 14 million recorded in Q4 2017.

FINANCIAL REVIEW | SWEDEN

Summing up

• Revenues slightly down, due to lower capacity
• Continued strong focus on recruitment, but fierce competition about IT experts also in the Swedish market
• Margin level reflects use of subcontractors, enabling new client relations
• Customer-driven cross-border deliveries from Sweden to Norway
