Veidekke: Q3 2022 results

09 Nov 2022 07:00 CET

Veidekke achieved revenues of NOK 9.6 billion in Q3, and a profit before tax of
NOK 545 million. The profit per share was NOK 3.0. The group's order book
totalled NOK 44 billion at quarter-end.

"Veidekke again achieved strong results in the third quarter. Although the
prevailing circumstances resulted in varying project profitability, the group as
a whole delivered a robust performance," says Group CEO Jimmy Bengtsson.

"The construction and civil engineering markets continue to feel the effect of
challenges such as long lead times, high raw material prices and increased
energy costs. Our projects are also affected. However, we have responded
constructively to the situation by adapting to the circumstances," says
Bengtsson.

"Veidekke is maintaining its strong order book of high-quality projects. Much of
the quarterly order intake is attributable to the success of our operational
entities in maintaining profitable, productive long-term customer
relationships," says Jimmy Bengtsson.

Veidekke achieved revenues of NOK 9.6 billion in Q3 2022, compared to NOK 9.3
billion in the third quarter of last year. The profit before tax totalled NOK
545 million, compared to NOK 530 million in Q3 2021. The profit margin was 5.7%,
on a par with the third quarter of 2021. Construction Sweden improved its
performance year-on-year, while Infrastructure Norway's profits fell slightly on
the back of lower activity in the asphalt operation. The performance of the
other operations was on a par with last year.

Net interest-bearing assets totalled NOK 2.3 billion at the end of Q3 2022,
compared to NOK 3.7 billion at the beginning of the year and NOK 3.2 billion one
year ago. Cash flow from operational activities amounted to NOK 474 million in
the third quarter, compared to NOK 784 million in Q3 2021. The statement of
financial position totalled NOK 17.9 billion at quarter-end, compared to NOK
17.6 billion one year ago and NOK 17.3 billion at the beginning of the year.

The group's quarterly order intake was NOK 7.6 billion, compared to NOK 8.4
billion in Q3 2021. At quarter-end, the order book amounted to NOK 43.7 billion,
up from NOK 40.1 billion last year.

The third-quarter LTI (lost time injury) rate was 2.4, compared to 2.2 in the
preceding quarter and 5.7 in Q3 2021. The sick leave rate was 4.6%, compared to
4.7% in Q2 2022 and 4.2% in the third quarter of last year.
