Multiconsult first quarter 2025 - a good start to the year

13 May 2025 07:00 CEST

Multiconsult ASA (OSE: MULTI)
Multiconsult delivered a good first quarter, maintaining positive momentum with
strong operational performance in an overall stable market. The EBITA came in at
NOK 190.4 million (136.8), equal to an EBITA margin of 12.5 per cent (10.0).
There was high activity in most segments, and the result was positively impacted
by higher billing rates and increased capacity due to a higher number of working
days and acquisitions. Net operating revenues grew by 11.4 per cent to NOK 1
523.4 million, with organic revenue growth at 4.2 per cent, adjusted for the
calendar effect. The billing ratio was 72.1 per cent, 1.4 percentage points
lower than the comparable quarter last year. Order intake was NOK 1 696 million
resulting in an order backlog of NOK 4 749 million.

EXTRACT OF COMMENTS FROM CEO, GRETHE BERGLY:

The first quarter of 2025 marks a good start to the year for Multiconsult. We
have achieved satisfactory growth and strong margins. Several large new
contracts are secured, and we continue to maintain a solid order backlog. I am
particularly pleased that we are expanding our project portfolio within
strategically prioritised areas such as the energy transition and defence
related projects. Our result directly reflects our employees' dedication and
skills in providing value creation for our clients.

In November last year we presented our corporate strategy to the market. The
strategy will create real value when it is translated into concrete action plans
for each segment and business area.  I have therefore started a strategy
roadshow to present the strategy, invite questions, and work with the management
teams to discuss how it can be implemented in their organisations.

With a broad market presence and a diversified growth strategy, we are well
positioned to embrace new opportunities across the Nordics and Poland. In
addition, there is strong demand for our competencies related to developing
sustainable solutions within the energy transition, the protection of nature and
biodiversity as well as safeguarding and reinforcing vulnerable infrastructure.

Sometimes, taking a step back offers the best perspective. Over the past five
years, Multiconsult has consistently delivered strong results, driven by some of
the most skilled professionals in engineering and architecture. With a highly
capable leadership team and a forward-looking strategy, we are well-positioned
for the future.

With this in mind, March felt like the right moment to announce my decision to
step down as CEO of this outstanding company. I have full confidence that the
board will find the ideal successor, and I am certain that Multiconsult will
continue to thrive-­whatever the future holds. I will continue with full
strength until my successor is in place.

first quarter 2025 report.
