“In Q3, we grew revenue by 10.4%, once again supported by ongoing recovery in the Danish part of the Group
combined with strong growth in Netcompany-Intrasoft, Norway and in the Netherlands.
Margins continued to improve during Q3 – both compared to the same quarter last year and from the levels
realised in Q2 this year – as anticipated.
The average number of FTEs increased by 4.2% compared to the same time last year, and at the end of Q3 we
employed more than 8,200 highly talented professionals throughout the Group.
It truly pleases me to see that so many talented IT professionals choose to work with Netcompany, and together
with our customers, to develop, implement and operate critical IT infrastructure throughout Europe.
We maintain our financial guidance for the year and initiate a new share buyback programme of DKK 250m
running to the end of January 2025 bringing the total share buyback programme initiated for the year to DKK
800m. We also remain committed to our midterm targets for 2026.”

Netcompany Denmark
Revenue in Denmark increased 12.1% driven
by an increase of 13.1% in the public seg-
ment and 10.4% in the private segment. The
improvement in both segments was driven
by increased utilisation.
Gross profit increased 17.2% to DKK 319.3m
in Q3 2024 against DKK 272.5m in Q3 2023.
This led to a gross profit margin of 42.1% in
the quarter compared to 40.2% in the same
quarter last year. Sequentially gross profit
margin increased 3.4 percentage points
from Q2 2024 to Q3 2024, confirming the
continued performance improvement in the
Danish business unit.
Adjusted EBITDA margin was 28.8% in Q3
2024 compared to 26.5% in Q3 2023, driv-
en by increased utilisation.
Client facing FTEs increased 0.9% com-
pared to Q3 2023.
Netcompany-Intrasoft
Revenue in Netcompany-Intrasoft in-
creased by 10.2% driven by continued
growth in the public and EU area that grew
13.9% compared to the same quarter last
year. In the private segment, revenue was in
line with last year.
Gross profit margin increased 3.7 percent-
age points to 20.6% compared to 17% in Q3
2023, as a result of improved utilisation.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 53.1% to DKK
66.5m in Q3 2024, yielding an EBITDA mar-
gin of 11.6% compared to 8.4% in the same
quarter last year. The increase was solely
driven by improved performance, as Net-
company-Intrasoft did not recognise any
licence revenue in Q3 2024.
Client facing FTEs grew 10.7% in Q3 2024.
Netcompany UK
Netcompany UK realised revenue of DKK
149.3m in Q3 2024, compared to DKK
160.9m in Q3 2023. The decline in revenue
was a result of the continued slower than
anticipated ramp up on a large strategic
project. Gross profit margin was 20.7%,
compared to 21.9% in the same quarter last
year.
Adjusted EBITDA margin was 10.2% com-
pared to 10.8% in the same quarter last
year. During the quarter, approximately DKK
7m was spent on severance payments re-
lated to rightsizing of the pyramid structure
in Netcompany UK.
Client facing FTEs decreased by 12.8% in
Q3 2024.
Netcompany Norway
Revenue in Netcompany Norway increased
25% to DKK 84.7m in Q3 2024, driven by
an increase of 37.9% in the public segment
and 8.4% in the private segment. The in-
crease in public segment revenue was
driven by an acceleration in ramp up on the
Avinor contract and increased spending
with existing customers.
Gross profit margin increased by 22 per-
centage points to 24.5% in Q3 2024, driven
by better project execution.
Adjusted EBITDA margin was 11.5% in Q3
2024 compared to negative 16.6% in Q3
2023, driven by increased utilisation and
better project execution.
Client facing FTEs decreased 2.4% in Q3
2024.
Netcompany Netherlands
Netcompany Netherlands grew revenue
29.9% in Q3 2024 compared to the same
quarter last year. Growth was solely gener-
ated in the public segment.
Gross profit margin was 36.1% in Q3 2024
compared to 25.5% in the same quarter
last year, as a result of continued improved
utilisation.
Adjusted EBITDA margin continued to im-
prove and was 23.6% in the quarter com-
pared to 7.9% in Q3 2023.

Netcompany Denmark
Revenue growth in the Danish business
unit was 8.4% for the first nine months of
2024. Revenue grew 9.9% and 5.8% in the
public and private segment, respectively.
Throughout the first nine months of the
year both segments benefited from the
Go-To-Market strategy, launched in the be-
ginning of 2023, with focus on product and
platform sales.
Gross profit margin was 39.3% in the first
nine months of 2024 compared to 36.6%
in the same period last year. The increase
was driven by improved performance and
utilisation.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 25.7% to DKK
592.8m in the first nine months of 2024,
yielding a margin of 25.6% compared to
22% in the same period last year. The in-
crease was a result of improved gross prof-
it margin.
Netcompany-Intrasoft
Netcompany-Intrasoft grew revenue 10.3%
in the first nine months of 2024. The growth
was driven by strong performance in the
public and EU area that grew 14.4%, while
revenue in the private segment declined
1.3% in the period. The decline in the private
segment was expected, as revenue in the
first nine months of 2023 grew 22.8% and
thus constituted a tough comparable.
Gross profit margin was 20.8% in the first
nine months of the year, compared to
20.2% in the same period last year. The
margin increased despite lower licence rev-
enue in the period. For 2024, licence reve-
nue is expected to be backend-loaded.
Adjusted EBITDA grew 16.5% and was DKK
203.1m for the first nine months of 2024
yielding a margin of 12.1% compared to
11.4% in the first nine months of 2023. The
increase was a result of better project ex-
ecution.
Netcompany UK
Revenue in the UK was DKK 449.4m for
the first nine months of 2024, compared
to DKK 494.7m in the same period in 2023.
The decline in revenue was a result of a 17%
decline in the public segment, offsetting
revenue growth of 13.6% in the private seg-
ment in the period.
Revenue from the large strategic contract
announced earlier in 2024 is not expected
to ramp up significantly until during 2025.
Gross profit margin in the UK was 18.4% for
the first nine months of 2024. The lower
margin compared to the same period the
year before, was a result of continued time
spend on business development and sever-
ance costs.
Adjusted EBITDA margin was 7.9% for the
first nine months of 2024 compared to
13.8% in the same period last year.
Netcompany Norway
In Netcompany Norway revenue grew 9.7%
in the first nine months of 2024. The growth
was driven by the public segment that grew
revenue 15.3% in the period, whereas the
private segment was on level with the same
period last year and grew by 3.1%.
The gross profit in Norway was DKK 44.5m
for the first nine months of 2024, yielding a
margin of 17.3%, compared to a margin of
10.7% for the same period the year before.
The improvement in gross profit margin
was a result of better utilisation and the
first signs of benefit from the Avinor win an-
nounced in the beginning of the year.
Adjusted EBITDA margin was 3.4% for the
first nine months of the year, compared to
negative 7% in the same period last year.
Netcompany Netherlands
In the first nine months of 2024 Netcom-
pany Netherlands grew revenue 43.1% to
DKK 148m, an increase solely driven by the
public segment.
The gross profit margin was 34.7% for the
first nine months, compared to 17.5% for
the same period in 2023. The increase in
margin was a result of continued focus on
jointed projects delivery and no more lega-
cy projects in the business unit.
Adjusted EBITDA was DKK 31.4m for the
first nine months of 2024, yielding a margin
of 21.2% compared to negative 2.2% in the
same period last year.

Netcompany measures revenue visibility
on a 12 months rolling basis, based on two
main input parameters, which are defined
as total value of committed engagements
(which is comprised of fixed price en-
gagements and service agreements), and
ongoing time and material engagements
with a high likelihood of conversion and/or
prolongation, defined as non-contractual
committed engagements.
By the beginning of October 2024, reve-
nue visibility for 2024 amounted to DKK
6,278.7m. Of this, contractual committed
revenue amounted to DKK 1,335.5m and
non-contractual committed engagements
amounted to DKK 80.9m, while realised
revenue in the first nine months of 2024
amounted to DKK 4,862.3m.
Compared to Q3 2023, revenue visibility
improved 7% from DKK 5,867.9m for 2023
to DKK 6,278.7m for 2024. Compared to Q2
2024, revenue visibility improved by 7.5%.
Revenue visibility in the public segment
amounted to DKK 4,313.7m, of which con-
tractual committed revenue amounted to
DKK 934.8m and non-contractual com-
expected to be released in the last three
months of 2024 and DKK 6,178m is expect-
ed to be released in the period from 2025
to 2031.
Revenue visibility
mitted engagements amounted to DKK
40m, while realised revenue in the first nine
months of 2024 amounted to DKK 3,339m.
Revenue visibility in the private segment

Employees
Netcompany employed an average of
8,088 FTEs in Q3 2024, which was an in-
crease of 328 FTEs or 4.2% compared to
Q3 2023 (7,760 FTEs).
The number of client facing employees for
the Group increased by 309 from 7,270 in
Q3 2023 to 7,579 in Q3 2024, while the level
of non-client facing employees was on level
with Q3 2023.
The attrition rate for the last twelve months
was 17.5%, which was an increase of 0.8
percentage points compared to the same
period last year.
The overall 3 months rolling churn in-
creased by 0.7 percentage points com-
pared to the same period last year, mainly
caused by increased attrition rates in Nor-
way, UK and Luxembourg.

Free cash flow and cash conversion rate
1
Free cash flow increased by 44.8% to
DKK 145.3m in Q3 2024, compared to
DKK 100.4m in Q3 2023. The increase was
driven by improved operating profit before
depreciation and amortisation of DKK 86m
and slightly offset by the development in
working capital changes in Q3 2024 of DKK
53.1m compared to Q3 2023. The negative
development in working capital changes
in Q3 2024 was mainly caused by tying up
of work in progress due to timing in larger
fixed fee projects, which was somewhat
offset by the development in trade receiv-
ables.
Normalised for taxes paid on account
1
, the
Group generated a free cash flow of DKK
96.4m in Q3 2024 compared to DKK 79.4m
in Q3 2023.
Cash conversion rate was 89.5% in Q3
2024 – on level with 93% in Q3 2023. How-
ever, adjusted for taxes paid on account,
cash conversion rate decreased from
73.6% in Q3 2023 to 59.4% in Q3 2024. The
decrease in tax normalised cash conver-
sion was caused by a temporally high cash
conversion rate in Q2 2024 at 104.7%.
For the first nine months, Netcompany
more than doubled the free cash flow to
DKK 288.7m compared to the same period
last year, following the same reasons as for
the quarter – improved EBITDA and slightly
offset by development in working capital
changes.
For the first nine months, tax normalised
cash conversion ratio improved by 20.3
percentage points to 68.1% compared to
47.8% in the same period in 2023.
Trade receivables
End of Q3 2024, trade receivables amount-
ed to DKK 1,232.3m compared to DKK
1,079.1m end of Q3 2023, corresponding to
an increase of 14.2% compared to revenue
growth of 10.4%.
The increase in trade receivables com-
pared to revenue was impacted by a high
level of trade receivables in the end of Q2
2024 and public customers in Greece pay-
ing later than usual.
Compared to Q2 2024, trade receivables
decreased by 6.9% from DKK 1,324.1m. The
decrease in trade receivables within the
quarter was caused by a high conversion of
work in progress to trade receivables end
of Q2 2024, which was collected during Q3
2024. This was, however, somewhat offset
by the Greek public customers.
As a result, days sales outstanding de-
creased from 73 days in Q2 2024 to 70
days in Q3 2024. Compared to Q3 2023
days sales outstanding increased by 2.3
days due to larger amounts of outstanding
overdue by more than 30 days. However,
the relative split of overdue trade receiva-
bles decreased by 2.3 percentage points
from 37.4% by the end of Q3 2023 to 35.1%
by the end of Q3 2024 caused by 18.4%
increased invoicing end of September 2024
compared to September 2023.
Capital and other financial positions
1
Taxes paid within the Group are, due to local tax
regulations, paid on account in Q1 and in Q4. To
adjust for this timing mismatch between expensed
and paid corporate income taxes, the free cash flow
should be viewed in a tax normalised manner to bet-
ter reflect the underlying development in free cash
flow based on operations rather than impact from
local tax legislation in Denmark.

Work in progress
At 30 September 2024, Netcompany’s work
in progress amounted to DKK 1,025.9m,
represented by contract work in progress
of DKK 1,590.4m and prepayments received
from customers of DKK 564.5m.
Work in progress increased by 0.5% from
DKK 1,021.1m in Q3 2023 to DKK 1,025.9m
in Q3 2024. In the same period revenue
increased 10.4%, whereas revenue in the
prevailing 12 months (LTM) increased by
7.1%. As a total, trade receivables and work
in progress increased by 7.5% from DKK
2,100.1m end of Q3 2023 to DKK 2,258.2m
end of Q3 2024, compared to an increase
in revenue by 10.4% in the same period.
In that aspect, growth in work in progress
and trade receivables versus revenue
growth was more balanced.
Funding and liquidity
Originally, the maturity of the Group bank
loan would expire in 2025. In April 2023
and April 2024, the loan was prolonged
twice by one year and now runs to 2027.
The combined committed facilities con-
stitute DKK 2,846.9m and an additional
facility of DKK 2,000m available only for
new acquisitions. At 30 September 2024,
DKK 1,626.9m of the committed lines
were utilised on borrowings and DKK
37.5m on guarantees, leaving a total of
DKK 3,182.5m available in unutilised fund-
ing of which DKK 1,182.5m can be utilised
for normal operations if needed with no
additional costs or covenants.
In addition, Netcompany-Intrasoft had
utilised DKK 532.5m on local guarantees,
having no impact on the Group facilities
except for leverage.
Including net cash balance as of 30
September 2024 of DKK 32.6m available
Group funding was DKK 1,215.1m.

14.9%
Netcompany realised revenue growth of
10.4% and adjusted EBITDA margin of 19.1%
(both in constant currencies) in Q3 2024. For
the first nine months revenue growth was
8% and adjusted EBITDA margin was 17.1%
(both in constant currencies).
Cash flow was in line with expectations. As
a result, Netcompany will initiate another
share buyback programme of DKK 250m to
be executed before the release of the An-
nual Report for 2024 at the end of January
2025. Total share buybacks to be executed
in 2024 is consequently expected to be
around DKK 715m.
For 2024, the amount of realised licence
revenue associated to projects entailing im-
plementation of the products from our offer-
ings are significantly lower than at the same
period last year. On the other hand, we ex-
pect licence revenue to account for at least
1% of total revenue with a potential upside
meaning that the realisation of licence rev-
enue for 2024 will be more backend-loaded
than in 2023.
We maintain our expectations to full year
revenue growth of 7-10% and an adjusted
EBITDA margin of 15-18%. We increase the
initiated share buyback programme from
originally more than DKK 500m to DKK
800m.
We reiterate our midterm financial targets
of revenue of at least DKK 8.5bn, EBITDA
margin of at least 20% and re-distribution of
at least DKK 2bn of cash to shareholders by
the end of 2026.
A number of risks and assumptions to our
full year guidance for 2024 were discussed
in connection with our Annual Report 2023.
Those risk still prevail and could impact our
performance for the remaining part of 2024.

the past performance of Netcompany.
Although Netcompany believes that the
estimates and projections reflected in the
forward-looking statements are reasonable,
they may prove materially incorrect, and
actual results may materially differ, e.g. as
the result of risks related to the industry in
general or Netcompany in particular, includ-
