Stavanger, Norway, 10 November 2022 - Huddlestock Fintech AS, a provider of
innovative technology solutions to the capital markets, treasury, and wealth
management industries, today released its Unaudited Financial Report for the
Third Quarter and Nine Months 2022.

For the Third Quarter 2022, Huddlestock Fintech delivered YoY revenue growth of
73% on Consolidated Group revenues of NOK 11.59 million for the full quarter.
Group EBITDA in 3Q improved to NOK -0.83 million vs. NOK -3.61 million in 3Q
2021, based on capitalising development cost from first half 2022 of NOK 3.24
million. During the 3Q the company reduced external costs due to use of internal
talent for technology development. Proforma revenues, including all acquisitions
for the first nine months of 2022, were NOK 45.40 million +49% YoY, a strong
development since listing on Euronext Growth.

"The first nine months of 2022 was another strong and progressive period for
Huddlestock. During the third quarter an important milestone was reached for the
Company with the first clients live on a brokerage platform by Europe's leading
Banking-as-a-Service provider with Huddlestock's Trader technology at its core.
We continue to experience demand and expansion in all business segments, with a
rapid market acceleration of our proprietary technology solutions. Several more
client contracts have been signed, including a significant client focusing on
the external operating environment. Furthermore, we are in the final stages of
negotiations with several more potential new clients. I am pleased to see that
we are growing faster in technology than any other service," says John E.
Skajem, CEO Huddlestock Fintech.

The growth of Huddlestock Technologies is reflected in the numbers, with
recurring revenues of NOK 4.75 million in the first nine months of 2022, a 157%
increase on the previous year, confirming the potential for growth in recurring
revenues from our technology solutions. In the third quarter the company
achieved NOK 2.51 million in recurring tech revenues. After the live validation
of Huddlestock's technology late September, the pipeline of clients has been
growing steadily, cementing the company's position as a leading European
WealthTech.

Huddlestock's financial and technology consulting business continues to deliver
strongly with revenues of NOK 28.69 million for the first nine months, up 3%
year-on-year. For the third quarter we delivered NOK 8.84 million. Longer-term
client commitments and three major framework agreements have been signed post
the close of the third quarter, confirming the strength of our consulting
franchise despite a softening macro environment. Looking into the rest of the
year, all our consultants are fully booked for 2022, and we have good visibility
for existing client contracts into 2023.

For the first Nine Months of 2022, Huddlestock Fintech delivered revenue growth
for the group of 239% on Consolidated Group revenues of NOK 32.88 million, after
including F5 IT since acquisition 1st May 2022, and EBITDA at NOK -6.43 million,
a solid 12% improvement on the previous year. Proforma revenues including F5 IT
and Tracs for the first nine months of 2022, were NOK 45.40 million +49% YoY and
proforma EBITDA NOK -8.3 million. The group enjoys a strong balance sheet with
shareholders' equity of NOK 128.06 million.

After the close of the third quarter, we closed the acquisition of F5 IT,
issuing 6,666,667 new shares. The acquisition of Trac Services and Tracs
Technology, a full service RegTech for the Wealth Management industry, is going
according to plan and we are currently awaiting final approval from the
Norwegian Finanstilsynet. On close, Njord Group will invest an additional NOK 5
million in Huddlestock Fintech, taking their stake post-close to 8.26%.

"We are delighted to welcome a respected and long-term investor in Njord Group.
With our acquisitions we will have 67 talented colleagues in the group and are
well on our way to build an organisation for profitable growth, creating
sustainable and recurring shareholder value," says Øyvind Hovland, Chairman of
Huddlestock Fintech.
