29 Aug 2024 07:00 CEST

Oslo, 29 August 2024: For the first half-year, Vow ASA (OSE: VOW) had revenues
of NOK 485.0 million, representing an increase of 8.1 per cent from NOK 448.7
million for the same period in 2023. All business segments contributed to the
growth.

EBITDA before non-recurring items was NOK 26.1 million, corresponding to a
margin of 5.4 per cent. The results for the first half-year of 2024 represent a
marked progress from the second half of 2023, when reassessments of project
accounts and balance sheet items resulted in operating losses.

Over the recent months, Vow has delivered on cost reduction programs with
estimated annual cost savings in the range of NOK 40-50 million for FY 2024
compared with FY 2023.

"Over the past period, Vow has been through a significant turnaround showcasing
enhanced operational efficiency. With a solid order backlog, increasing
revenues, and improving margins across all business segments, Vow demonstrates a
promising financial outlook," said Henrik Badin, CEO of Vow ASA.

At the end of the first half-year, the order backlog was NOK 1 061 million and
another NOK 316 million in options.

"Vow's activities are driven by three robust and expanding businesses. Moreover,
the group has two large projects underway demonstrating the relevance of Vow
solutions for landbased industry, and a rich pipeline within circular solution
opportunities," Badin added.

Subsequent events

Vow has obtained amended bank facilities with improved covenant headroom. The
agreement is subject to agreement on final documents and strengthening of the
group's balance sheet with an equity improvement of NOK 125 million.

Vow has undertaken preliminary soundings in the market and continues to explore
the possibility of carrying out a share issue to satisfy the required
strengthening of the Company's balance sheet. The Company is also considering
other ways to strengthen its equity position.

CEO Henrik Badin and CFO Tina Tønnessen will present the results on Thursday 29
August at 09:00 CET. The presentation will be held at Hotel Continental
