NRC Group ASA

This presentation is over the third quarter and the following capital market presentation for NRC Group. In normal order, there is a possibility to ask questions. We are not going to make any deviations between the initial quarter presentation and the following capital market presentation, so we will take everything at the end if that is okay. As you can hear, I am a little cold this lovely morning, but I will do everything I can for the voice to carry the whole way. I think we have a good quarter. It is actually the strongest quarter since we restarted the company in 2024. And we have a margin in the quarter of 4.9%, which is compared to 3.6% of previous years. What makes me think it is a good quarter is that now all business parts of the company are involved and contribute to the result. There are of course some business parts that I can highlight a little extra. If we start with our newly launched machine unit, they make a very strong quarter, which I am happy about. The machine manager is sitting there, Andreas. Good job. We also have our demolition business here in Norway, which after a few challenging years is up and contributing to the result. And of course Finland, our engine in the company. We have divided this strategy period into two parts. The first half has been profitability before volume and now we are moving on to profitable growth. The goal has been to create a stable, sustainable, profitable company and that's where I think we are. We are still in the process of delivering more than 3% in the coming years. Vår förhandling rörande ETM-projektet här i Norge är fortsatt pågående. Jag tycker den är konstruktiv. Vår ambition är att vi ska försöka lösa den här tvisten med Banen Nord utanför rättslig instans. Den ambitionen kvarstår. Det tar tid. Det är saker som härrör från starten 2021 och de första två åren som vi ska försöka reda ut tillsammans. The message to the market is still the same. We do everything we can to solve this dilemma, but if it doesn't work, we will take this to a legal instance. The goal is that we will come to some kind of conclusion on this side of the year, i.e. in 2026. The strategic oversight of Gunnar Knutsen is ongoing. We are looking at several different possibilities. The same thing there. We will come back to the market as soon as we have reached a conclusion even there. Marknaden, bedömer jag, är fortsatt stark i samtliga tre länder. Vi har en bedömd tender pipeline, alltså relevanta jobb för vårat bolag nästkommande år som är på 44 miljarder och den ser bra ut över samtliga tre delar och alla affärsdelar. Refinansieringsprocessen går också in i plan, om något bättre om jag får säga så. Ambitionen kvarstår också att vi ska I think it has been more challenging here in Norway than what we have determined. There have been fewer projects than determined. We have also had a weaker hit rate on these few jobs that have been found and it still looks a little weak in Norway. There I would have wished for a much better order entry and of course a better backlog when we go into 2027. But the national transport plans and when we talk to our big customers, especially Baner Nord, they say that it will come out. But it is a bit challenging that it has been this far. If we look at the quarter, isolated in numbers, we are on par with the revenue against previous years. And then it is still blowing quite a strong currency against wind, but we are on the same level. The result is stable, strong if you can say so. It is at 91 million, which means that we have a margin of 4.9% in the quarter. Vi har en anständig orderingång. Den är på 1,2 miljarder. Ambitionen hade varit högre, måste jag säga, men den är högre än föregående år. Och då är det fortsatt så att vi väntar på besked på några stora projekt. Jag hade önskat att de hade varit klara för avslut, så att vi hade haft någon form av besked, men vi väntar fortsatt. Och då är det också så att det har varit lite tunnar i den norska marknaden. Tomas Johansson, Harri Lukkarinen, Tomas Johansson, Harri Lukkarinen, Tomas Johansson, If we look at the order intake and backlog in staples, we are on a book to build at 1.0. We are not growing the company, but we are also not getting smaller. We are also trying to communicate how our big win in Finland, we won all the light rail jobs. Tomas Johansson, Tomas Johansson, Tomas Johansson, Tomas Johansson, Tomas Johansson, Tomas Johansson, If we look at this slide, the most important thing is that we continue, after a few years, to be relieved of serious failures in the company, and that is very exciting. Tittar vi på sjukfrånvaron så har vi en bra nivå i bolaget om vi jämfört med våra konkurrenter och tittar på benchmark. Det som sticker ut är vår arbetsskadefrekvens. Där har vi haft en större andel stickskader, alltså i fingrar. Vi skär oss lite för mycket. Vi ser ingen negativ skada. We don't see that we're missing out or that there's a trend going on here. It's simply that we can be much better at using our protective gear and we must of course be careful and follow up on what's causing us to cut ourselves more in the fingers. And we take that most seriously in order to reduce the rate of damage. With this introduction, I'm going to hand it over to you, Åsgeir. Have you got more figures?

Hi everyone. As Anders says, we have done our best quarter, so we are proud of that. And of course, Q3 will be good. The EBITDA in the quarter is 91 million, 4.9%, against 65 million and 3.6% last year. If you look at the table on the right side, you see a net result of 57 million. Omsetningsmessig er vi på 1839 millioner mot 1818 i fjor. Det vil si veldig på linje med i fjor. Men det er til tross for vesentlig svekket svenske valuta og euro i forhold til norske. Og til tross også i og for seg for en ordreintak som har vært lavere over tid. Det har i og for seg vært lavere i tre av de fem siste kvartalene. Det kommer jeg tilbake til, spesielt da i Sverige og Norge.

Year-to-date omsetning er på 4,7 milliarder.
