NORBIT - Results for the first quarter 2023

16 May 2023 07:00 CEST

Trondheim, 16 May 2023: In the first quarter, NORBIT reached all-time high
revenues of NOK 376.7 million, corresponding to a growth of 60 per cent from the
first quarter of 2022, supported by strong demand in all three business
segments.

The EBITDA result was NOK 104.3 million in the first quarter, representing a
margin of 28 per cent, up from NOK 43.9 million and 19 per cent in the
corresponding quarter of 2022.

Earnings per share for the quarter were NOK 0.88 compared to NOK 0.21 one year
earlier.

- The combination of continued strong demand and dedication across all levels of
our organisation, has resulted in record high revenues and growth and further
margin expansion. We are eager to continue to tailor technology that can enable
our customers to «Explore More», says Per Jørgen Weisethaunet, CEO of NORBIT.

Order intake has been strong in the first months of 2023, particularly within
segment Connectivity, which has announced contracts for close to NOK 1.0
billion. This includes two On-Board Unit contracts with a value of approximately
NOK 420 million and a frame agreement for delivery of tachograph enforcement
modules with an estimated value in excess of NOK 500 million.

- Over the last years, NORBIT has made significant investments in broadening the
product offering, expanding the production capacity and increasing inventories
to maintain a safety stock of components to safeguard deliveries and seize
opportunities. These strategic decisions have been an enabler for organic growth
and enhanced the flexibility, positioning NORBIT to deliver on larger contracts,
Weisethaunet adds.

The outlook for NORBIT remains positive. Second quarter is expected to be yet
another strong quarter with continued high activity in all three business
segments. The guidance for the year is reiterated, where the targets are to
deliver revenues in excess of NOK 1.4 billion and continued margin improvement.

Attached is the report for the first quarter and the presentation material.

A presentation of the results will be held by CEO Per Jørgen Weisethaunet and
CFO Per Kristian Reppe at 10:00 CEST. The presentation will be hosted by Arctic
Securities via a live webcast.
