Multiconsult delivered a stable performance in the third quarter. The challenge of rising costs and an increasingly competitive market calls for strong measures to ensure long-term targets are met. Net operating revenues grew by 4.2 per cent to NOK 1 196.4 million, with adjusted organic revenue growth at 6.7 per cent. EBITA adjusted was NOK 62.1 million (71.7) with a corresponding margin of 5.2 per cent (6.4). EBITA for the quarter amounted to NOK 62.1 million, bringing the year-to-date EBITA to NOK 319.9 million. The EBITA margin was 5.2 per cent for the quarter and 7.7 per cent year to date. In the same quarter last year, the resolution of a contractual dispute with a client resulted in a one-off settlement payment of NOK 31.2 million, which was reflected in the group results. When adjusted for this settlement, EBITA decreased by 1.2 percentage points, or NOK 9.6 million, compared to the corresponding period last year.
There was high activity in most segments, but with some increased uncertainty in parts of the market. Activity is affected by slower than expected start-up on larger framework agreements, and the margin pressure is slightly increasing. The result is impacted by higher billing rates but negatively affected by reduced activity. The billing ratio was 70.1 per cent, 1.1 percentage points lower than the comparable quarter last year. Order intake was NOK 1 205 million resulting in an order backlog of NOK 4 316 million. The share purchase agreement for the acquisition of the ViaNova group has been signed, and closing is expected to take place mid-November.
