The first quarter of 2025 showed signs of market improvement and a more positive outlook, though consumer sentiment remained cautious across our key markets in Norway and Sweden. In line with our long-term ambitions, strategic commercial initiatives were carried out during the quarter, along with significant cost saving measures.CONTENTS

Overall, market data indicate continued progress across both our key markets, although with variations between categories and brands. Several economic indicators are pointing towards gradual growth and recovery in the retail sector, including enhanced consumer purchasing power. In recent months, we have also seen more supportive market conditions in the gaming and computing categories, and during the first quarter, we started to see the effects of new product launches hitting the market. The introduction of Nvidia and AMD graphic cards has been well received by consumers.
The positive effect from such product launches is anticipated to continue and gradually increase throughout the year, as larger supplies of new products are being made available. The product pipeline for the coming quarters remains strong, including exciting launches across categories ranging from high-tech to the more classical consumer electronics segments, like washing machines and vacuum cleaners. We expect demand in our core categories to continue being supported by the introduction of new and innovative products, including those that will be launched under our private label brands during the year.
In line with our strategic priorities, we are further continuing to grow our presence in selected categories, such as domestic appliances. We have also continued strengthening assortment and market positions in existing core segments like telecom, although accepting some volume losses
in favour of margin management in the Swedish market compared to last year. Our new and expanded private label portfolio has also been well received, especially our recently launched series of private label washing machines, dishwashers and fridges under our own Avant brand. We see further potential to increase our private label share, especially in NetOnNet, in 2025 and onwards.
Our growth initiatives also include a selective expansion plan for NetOnNet, and in March we opened a new store in Trondheim, Norway. Together with our newly opened stores in Söder-tälje, Bergen and Stavanger, we now consider that we have a good store coverage for 2025, and solid plans for a profitable NetOnNet in Norway. For NetOnNet, our top line performance in the period has been impacted by a rebalancing of parts of the brand portfolio, involving a reduced campaign intensity versus last year, as well as adjustments in pricing and margins in several core categories.
During the course of the quarter, the process of reducing the number of employees at Komplett Services was carried out as planned, involving 80 FTEs. The measures we have taken were necessary to control our cost base and adapt it to the market environment. Throughout this process, I have been impressed by the care, understanding and cooperation demonstrated by our colleagues in a difficult situation.
During the quarter, we detailed our plans for the consolidation of our warehouse structure in Sweden. In April, we communicated that Web-hallen's two warehouses in Stockholm will be co-located into NetOnNet's central warehouse in Borås, including all logistics and return handling. This will entail meaningful savings in terms of rent, facility management and administration in logistics and sales and operations planning, with gradual effect from the second quarter. The decision to consolidate our warehouse operations in Sweden will enhance the utilisation of our logistics facilities while continuing to uphold our industry-leading delivery service.

As communicated earlier this year, I will transition from the role as President and CEO of Komplett Group in August, and the process of identifying my successor is moving ahead as planned. The nomination committee has recommended that I be elected as the chair of the board at the annual general meeting, and this is a role I would be highly motivated to assume from 1 August.
As before, we continue to manage our cost base and liquidity closely, and our financial position remains controlled and in line with the agreed financial covenants.
Looking ahead, we will continue our efforts to leverage our scalable and efficient platform while implementing further cost measures across the group. We remain dedicated to our stated strategic direction which positions the group well in fundamentally attractive channels and categories.

| QUARTERLY SUMMARY
More positive market dynamicsand initial effects of new product launchescoming online in computing and gaming, resulted in sales growth of 3.8 per cent in the first quarter. Gross margin levels were maintained compared to last year due to positive mix effects, commercial initiatives and price rebalancing, despite continued margin pressure in the markets. Operating expenses remained relatively stable in the quarter, while the impact from recent cost and efficiency measures is gradually taking effect throughout the year.CONTENTS

SEGMENT REVIEW
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES APPENDIX
PAGE 6
During the first quarter, markets improved in both Norway and Sweden. New product launches, such as upgraded graphic cards and central processing units, as well as new consoles, were positive demand drivers in the gaming category. Allocated volumes sold out quickly, suggesting strong consumer interest that is expected to benefit the coming quarters. The shift of the timing of Easter, with more sales days in the quarter, had an additional positive but limited impact on year-over-year growth, especially in the B2B and Distribution segments.
Gross margin levels remained stable towards last year, reflecting positive results from commercial initiatives, selective price rebalancing and positive mix effects, as well as less campaign intensity compared to the fourth quarter peak season. The margin was further subject to continued margin pressure as well as select inventory management measures as part of the ongoing business.
The development of operating expenses in constant currency terms reflects good cost control with relatively stable expenses considering cost inflation, new stores and growth investments, and a modest increase in marketing investments. Cost reductions have been implemented according to plan in the quarter and have started to give some initial effect, but the impact will increase further into the year. Execution of the ware-
house consolidation in Sweden is progressing as planned and will be complemented by additional measures to ensure further cost optimisation.
The net working capital level continued to improve year-over-year, mainly reflecting improved commercial terms. At the end of March, the group's leverage ratio (NIBD / LTM EBITDA, adjusted for certain exceptional items) was 3.4x. Net debt levels were impacted by high liquidity at the end of the quarter, primarily driven by structural improvements from better payment terms. The measured leverage remains well below the temporarily raised covenant levels previously agreed with the group's financing partners for H1 2025.
During the first quarter, market dynamics have largely developed as expected, with an improving economic situation for households and recovering pace of innovations. Product innovations and launches are anticipated to gradually lead to increased demand in the coming quarters.
The still positive economic outlook is, however, affected by increasing global uncertainty. So far, global unrest has led to a more cautious consumer sentiment, but the future impacts of geo-pogolical shifts are increasingly hard to predict.
Continued market and competitive uncertainties still require active cost management. During the
quarter, the group has carried out measures to reduce cost and launched new initiatives to leverage the group's efficient and scalable platform, which will have an increasing impact through the second half of 2025.

PROFIT AND LOSS
Total operating revenue increased by 3.8 per cent in the first quarter of 2025, from NOK 3 245 million to NOK 3 370 million (+2.5 per cent in constant currency). The progress was supported by more positive market dynamics, in both Norway and in Sweden. The sales growth was relatively broadly based across product categories, with tailwind from new product launches in gaming and computing, as well as good development in new commercial initiatives.
Cost of goods sold was NOK 2 865 million in the first quarter, representing a 3.9 per cent increase from NOK 2 757 million in the same period last year on the back of increased sales. The group's central commercial team continues to work on improved commercial terms as part of the centralisation and consolidation of group sourcing and category management.
Gross profit was NOK 504 million in the first quarter, representing an increase of NOK 17 million compared with NOK 488 million last year. The gross margin reached 15.0 per cent in the first quarter, reflecting a stable development from
15.0 per cent in the same period of 2024. The margin performance reflects select price rebalancing, positive mix effects and new commercial initiatives, which were partly offset by the impact from operational inventory management.
Operating expenses (excluding one-off costs, depreciation and amortisation) totalled NOK 443 million in the first quarter, representing an increase of 2.4 per cent from NOK 433 million in the same period of 2024 (+0.7 per cent in con-
stant currency). The increase was largely driven by currency translation effects. In addition, the cost development reflected general cost inflation and commercial expansion measures, and a modest increase in marketing investments. The cost and restructuring measures are proceeding as planned, and the positive effects are expected to increase gradually into 2025.
Depreciation and amortisation accounted for NOK 100 million in the first quarter, of which NOK 13 million was related to the amortisation of acquired customer value as part of the earlier NetOnNet transaction. In the same period last year, depreciation and amortisation expenses totalled NOK 95 million. The increase from last year was mainly related to upgraded IT infrastructures and partly new stores.
EBIT adj. amounted to negative NOK 39 million in the first quarter of 2025, and remained stable compared with negative NOK 40 million in the same period of 2024. The increase in gross profit was offset by higher operating expenses and depreciation charges, resulting in an EBIT adj. margin of negative 1.2 per cent in the first quarter, which is on a par with negative 1.2 per cent in the same quarter of last year.
One-off costs totalled NOK 18 million in the quarter and were mainly related to restructuring in the Norwegian business, as well as the warehouse consolidation in Sweden. In the first quarter of 2024, one-off costs totalled NOK 6 million, which were related to organisational changes and restructuring in some of the business units.
The operating result (EBIT) for the first quarter amounted to negative NOK 57 million, compared with a loss of NOK 46 million in the same period of 2024.
Net financial expenses in the first quarter totalled NOK 41 million, compared with NOK 43 million in the same period last year. As in previous reporting periods, interest on the group's credit facilities and factoring costs were the main components of the financial expenses.
The group had a tax income of NOK 22 million in the first quarter, compared with NOK 17 million in the same period last year.
Profit for the period ended at negative NOK 77 million, compared with a loss of NOK 72 million in the same period last year.
FINANCIAL POSITION AND LIQUIDITY
Non-current assets amounted to NOK 3 952 million at the end of the first quarter of 2025, compared with NOK 3 931 million at the end of 2024. The increase from the prior-year period reflects increased deferred tax assets of NOK 35 million, partly offset by a reduction in right-of-use assets of NOK 89 million.
Current assets amounted to NOK 3 250 million at the end of the first quarter, compared with NOK 2 935 million in the same period last year. Inventories were NOK 2 165 million at the end of March, representing a slight increase from NOK 2 062 million one year earlier, reflecting a still controlled position with some tactical inventory build-up in certain categories. A total of NOK 362

million of receivables have been sold under the factoring agreement in the first quarter.
Cash and cash equivalents totalled NOK 351 million at the end of the quarter, which is significantly higher than previous periods, compared to NOK 114 million at the end of March last year.
Equity amounted to NOK 2 562 million at the end of the first quarter of 2025, compared with NOK 2 657 million in the same period last year. The difference is mainly attributed to the impact from changes in retained earnings. This yields an equity ratio of 35.6 per cent at the end of the first quarter, compared with 38.7 per cent at the end of March 2024.
Total liabilities amounted to NOK 4 640 million at the end of the first quarter of 2025, compared with NOK 4 209 million at the end of the first quarter of 2024. Trade payables totalled NOK 1 836 million, representing an increase of NOK 621 million from the prior-year period, where renegotiated supplier agreements and improved payment
terms have contributed to a structural uplift versus last year.
Since the second quarter of 2023, the Swedish subsidiaries have partly utilised the extension of the Swedish tax deferred payment rules. After repayment of NOK 32 million during the first quarter, including currency adjustments, the total outstanding amount at end of March 2025 was NOK 383 million, of which NOK 230 million is included in the group's long-term liabilities. The remaining NOK 153 million, which matures in less than 12 months, is shown as part of other current liabilities.
Total equity and liabilities amounted to NOK 7 202 million at the end of the first quarter, compared with NOK 6 866 million in the same period last year.
LIQUIDITY
The group's total credit facilities include a revolving credit facility in the amount of NOK 1 300 million and an overdraft facility in the amount of NOK
400 million. The latter increases to NOK 500 million in the fourth quarter in accordance with normal practice.
At 31 March 2025, NOK 800 million of the revolving credit facility was utilised. Including available cash of NOK 351 million, the liquidity reserve was NOK 1 251 million at the end of the first quarter, compared with NOK 847 million one year earlier, primarily reflecting improved supplier payment terms complemented by short term timing effects.
Further details on the credit facilities may be found in note 8 to the financial statements.
NET INTEREST-BEARING DEBT
Net interest-bearing debt at 31 March was NOK 679 million, excluding IFRS 16, and NOK 1 210 million including IFRS 16 liabilities. The year-over-year changes include NOK 230 million being reclassified into long-term liabilities. This is due to an extended repayment plan for the Swedish tax deferral scheme which was granted in the third quarter 2024. For further details, reference is made to the group's alternative performance measures as defined in the appendix to this report.
The leverage ratio, defined as NIBD / LTM EBITDA (adjusted for certain exceptional items), was 3.4x at the close of the first quarter of 2025, with the net debt level positively affected by the high liquidity position. The group's underlying covenant trajectory has been temporarily raised to allow for a leverage ratio of 4.5x in Q1 and 4.0x in Q2 2025, before returning to original levels in the second half of the year.

CASH FLOW
Operating activities generated a net cash flow of negative NOK 201 million in the first quarter, compared with negative NOK 147 million in the same period last year. Operating cash flow in the first quarter was negatively affected by an increase in inventory of NOK 117 million and a reduction in trade payables of NOK 237 million, following a seasonal peak in the previous quarter. These effects were countered by a reduction in accounts receivables of NOK 55 million.
In the same period last year, the cash flow from operating activities was positively affected by a decrease in inventory of NOK 131 million and a decrease in trade receivables of NOK 81 million, countered by a reduction in accounts payable of NOK 349 million.
Cash flow used in investing activities was NOK 45 million. This was invested in property, plant and equipment for new stores and improvements of the IT infrastructure, of which a majority was used for upgrades to the IT systems. The comparable figure from last year was NOK 42 million.
Cash flow used in financing activities was NOK 128 million during the first quarter, compared with a positive cash flow of NOK 74 million in the same quarter prior year. Financing activities in the quarter mainly consisted of principal and interest paid on lease liabilities, net interest paid on loans, as well as a repayment of NOK 32 million in accordance with the Swedish tax deferred payment rules. The positive cash flow in same quarter prior year was mainly due to a net increase of the revolving credit facility of NOK
100 million and the utilisation of the overdraft facility of NOK 67 million.
EVENTS AFTER QUARTER-END
In April, it was announced that the group would continue implementing measures to reduce costs by leveraging synergies and establishing a shared service centre for back-office functions for the Swedish operations. This initiative has been possible by the implementation of a common ERP system. The shared service centre will be located at NetOnNet's premises in Borås, Sweden.
On 25 April, Webhallen celebrated the opening of its new store at Solna Centrum shopping mall. The new store is in line with Webhallen's updated store concept, replacing the previous location at Mall of Scandinavia.

| SUSTAINABILITY
In 2024, the Komplett Group sustainability team conducted an extensive double materiality assessment, a thorough stakeholder mapping and built a functioning data collection structure in order to disclose the group's sustainability information in accordance with the new EU regulations. During the first quarter, this work materialised into a full Corporate Sustainabil-
| RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Komplett Group is subject to several risks, including market and competition risks, operational and financial risks, such as currency, interest, credit, and liquidity risks, as well as IT security risks. The board and executive management are continuously monitoring the group's risk exposure, and the group strives to take an active approach to risk management and internal control processes. Below is a summary of the key risks for the group over the coming period.
There is a risk that consumer sentiment and spending expectations decrease or remain low due to macroeconomic uncertainty, which in turn may impact demand for capital intensive goods, such as electronics. Market headwinds and unpredictability may lead to inventory build-up, resulting in increased price pressure in the market. Temporary fluctuations in the longterm growth trajectory of online retail trade may impact the group's performance in the short term.
ity Reporting Directive (CSRD) report published under the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), as well as the EU Taxonomy for sustainable economic activities, with all information assured by the group's auditor. As part of the reporting process, the group is continuously working on streamlining its systems for gathering data and to measure and report progress.
The group operates in an intensely competitive industry, and entry of new market players or changes in the market dynamics may impact its competitive position. Geopolitical risk has risen following the outbreak of wars, political unrest, and trade sanctions. Risks from regulatory changes, trade barriers, tariffs, and restrictive government actions could impact the group's operations and results. Over the past months, global uncertainty related to trade wars and tariffs has increased. The group is monitoring the situation closely and maintains a close dialogue with suppliers.
Due to its online first business model, Komplett Group is less exposed to cost inflation than many of its peers, but its cost base is nevertheless subject to market inflation and currency effects. As the group operates online, it is vulnerable to hacking and cybercrimes on critical applications and its websites. Although the group has systems in place to identify and block external
attacks, the group will likely be subject to new and smarter attempts at unauthorised access that expose a risk to the business.
The group's balance sheet carries intangible assets, including goodwill, which are subject to risk of impairment and other factors that may contribute to a loss in value. The impairment charges executed in 2023 significantly reduced this balance sheet risk, but the carried amounts remain subject to an improvement and normalisation of the future performance in some of the entities.
Risks and uncertainties must be considered when looking at the outlook comments below. Reference is made to note 4 to the company's Annual and Sustainability Report for 2024 for additional explanations regarding risks and uncertainties.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES APPENDIX
| SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK
In the first quarter, Komplett Group generated sales growth of 3.8 per cent and stable margins in an improving market and innovation environment. The group continued progressing its stated strategic and commercial priorities, yielding positive developments in categories such as domestic appliances and gaming, selective private label line-extensions as well as an expanded supplier base. In addition, NetOnNet opened a new store in Trondheim, completing the intended store coverage in Norway for 2025.
During the quarter, the workforce reductions at Komplett Services, Sandefjord and group centre were carried out as planned. As communicated, additional measures to ensure further cost
degression are being launched throughout the group. The process to consolidate the group's logistics set-up in Sweden is progressing as foreseen, with completion scheduled for the second quarter of the year. The cost effects from these initiatives are expected to gradually increase during the second half of the year.
Working capital levels continued to improve during the quarter, reflecting selective inventory investments which were more than compensated by improved credit and payment terms. The group's financial position remains controlled, and with solid headroom to financial covenants in the quarter.
New product launches had a positive impact on sales in the first quarter, and the effect is expected to increase into 2025 as both higher volumes and more innovations are being made available from suppliers. New generations of components have also attracted competition from larger players who are increasing their presence in the computing and gaming categories. The group's brands will continue to adapt its pricing strategies to the trading environment.
More positive innovation cycles will be complemented by the group's strategic and commercial initiatives to grow in core and adjacent categories. The group is seeing positive results from its strategic initiatives, with the benefits of new cost-saving measures expected to increase throughout 2025.
Over the past months global uncertainty has increased substantially. This has already led to a more cautious consumer sentiment in our core markets, while the future developments and potential impact from these geopolitical shifts on the overall trading environment has become increasingly hard to predict.
Despite increased concern regarding global unrest, Komplett Group remains optimistic about its long-term potential. The group firmly believes in the robust market fundamentals for consumer electronics and appliances, as well as the sustained growth trajectory of online retail.

REVENUE
Operating revenue for the B2C segment was NOK 2 343 million, representing a 3.4 per cent increase from NOK 2 265 million in the same period in 2024 (+1.6 per cent in constant currency). In local currency, the operations in Norway had a revenue increase of 16.7 per cent, including effects from new store openings in 2025, while Sweden had a revenue decline of 5.0 per cent. The group's operations in Denmark, which represents approximately 3 per cent of the B2C revenue, had a revenue increase of 13.6 per cent.
The revenue increase was driven by broad-based growth in Norway and good progress in the gaming related categories and brands in Sweden. Overall revenue growth in Sweden has been impacted by a rebalancing of parts of the brand
portfolio, involving reduced campaign intensity, as well as adjustments in pricing and margins in several core categories versus last year.
GROSS PROFIT
The overall gross profit for the B2C segment amounted to NOK 400 million in the first quarter, compared with NOK 387 million in the same quarter in 2024.
The gross margin was stable at 17.1 per cent, compared with 17.1 per cent in the same quarter of 2024. Margin performance was positively impacted by the operations in Sweden as well as the group's commercial efforts but also reflects continued strong competition.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses for B2C were NOK 425 million in the first quarter, compared with NOK 404 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in operating expenses was partly driven by currency translation effects. The development also reflects increased marketing investments as well as expenses related to store openings and growth measures. Recent cost and efficiency measures are proceeding as planned, and further measures to ensure cost degression are being implemented across the group.
Operating expenses included depreciation and amortisation costs of NOK 24 million in the period, on a par with NOK 24 million in the same quarter in 2024. The transition to a new ERP system (IFS) and IT upgrades in Webhallen in February 2025 is expected to generate some additional depreciation charges in the coming periods.
The operating cost percentage was 18.1 per cent, compared with 17.8 per cent in the same quarter of last year.
EBIT
The EBIT result for the quarter amounted to negative NOK 25 million, compared with negative NOK 17 million in the same period of 2024. The decline is a result of the increase in operating expenses, which more than offsets the positive gross profit contribution. The EBIT margin came in at negative 1.1 per cent compared with a negative margin of 0.7 per cent in the prior-year period.

REVENUE
Operating revenue for the B2B segment in the first quarter amounted to NOK 366 million, compared with NOK 351 million for the same period in 2024, representing an increase of 4.4 per cent (+4.1 per cent in constant currency). Operations in Norway, representing the large majority of the B2B revenues, had a revenue increase of 3.9 per cent, while the Swedish business grew by 6.0 per cent in local currency.
More sales days due to the timing of Easter, had a slight positive impact on the year-over-year revenue development. In addition, demand driven by an ageing installed base appears to have contributed positively. This impact is expected to become more meaningful going forward, along with new technologies, although uncertainty still persists regarding the effects of a recently deteriorating consumer sentiment.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit was NOK 67 million in the first quarter, reflecting a modest improvement compared with NOK 65 million in the same quarter of 2024. The gross margin came in at 18.3 per cent, compared with 18.7 per cent in the prior year, when favourable product mix impacted margins positively.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses were NOK 48 million in the first quarter, on a par with NOK 48 million in the same quarter in 2024. Cost reductions driven by lower personnel costs and reduced marketing
spend were offset by slightly higher depreciation costs, which led to a stable overall development of total operating expenses.
Measured as a percentage of revenue, operating expenses were reduced to 13.0 per cent in the quarter compared with 13.7 per cent in the same quarter in 2024.
EBIT
EBIT for the first quarter was NOK 19 million, compared with NOK 17 million in the first quarter of 2024. The EBIT uplift was driven by both improved gross profit and cost reductions. This gave an EBIT margin for the quarter of 5.3 per cent, compared with 5.0 per cent in the same quarter of last year.

REVENUE
Revenue for the Distribution segment amounted to NOK 660 million in the first quarter, compared with NOK 630 million in the same period in 2024, representing an increase of 4.9 per cent (+4.7 per cent in constant currency). In local currency, the operations in Norway had a revenue increase of
4.0 per cent, while Sweden, representing 8.0 per cent of revenues from Distribution, had a 13.6 per cent revenue growth.
Revenue growth was impacted by more sales days compared with the prior-year period due to the timing of Easter. While small- and medium-sized enterprises continued to show cautious spending patterns, headwinds on demand among resellers remains strong, but receded compared with prior periods.
Demand is expected to increasingly benefit from new technology and an ageing installed base, but the timing and impact remains uncertain.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit was NOK 37 million in the first quarter, compared with NOK 35 million in the same quarter of 2024. The gross margin was 5.7 per cent, representing a slight improvement from
5.5 per cent in the prior-year period. The gross margin development in the quarter reflects a stable performance with continued operational efficiencies.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses totalled NOK 32 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared with NOK 34 million the same period in 2024. The reduction was driven by lower personnel costs and a reduction in other expenses related to IT and rent costs. The decrease was partly offset by increased depreciation charges. Measured as a percentage of revenue, the operating expenses were 4.8 per cent in the first quarter, compared with 5.4 per cent in the same period last year.
EBIT
The EBIT result for the quarter was NOK 6 million, compared with NOK 1 million in the first quarter of 2024. The combination of increased gross profit and cost reductions drove the improvement. This gave an EBIT margin of 0.9 per cent, compared with 0.2 per cent for the same period in 2024.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES APPENDIX
| OTHER & IFRS 16
"Other" represents group costs not allocated to the operating segments: B2C, B2B, and Distribution. This applies when costs are difficult to allocate fairly between the segments.
Typical cost elements under this segment include management costs and group strategic initiatives. The different effects of IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards), especially IFRS 16, are not part of the operational measures and are excluded from the operating segments. For additional explanation, please refer to note 3 - Segment Information in this report.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses, including depreciation but excluding one-off costs, totalled NOK 39 million, compared with NOK 42 million in the prior-year period.
Operating expenses comprised employee benefit expenses of NOK 36 million and other operating expenses of NOK 13 million, of which NOK 18 million have been classified as one-off costs. These operating expenses were offset by a reallocation of lease costs of NOK 59 million to depreciations and interest costs in accordance with IFRS 16, yielding operating expenses (excluding depreciation and one-off costs) of net positive NOK 28 million, compared with net positive NOK 23 million in the first quarter of 2024.
Depreciation and amortisation amounted to NOK 67 million, of which NOK 13 million were related to amortisation of acquired customer value relating to the NetOnNet acquisition, and NOK 54 million to the IFRS 16 adjustments described above. In the prior-year period, depreciation and amortisation totalled NOK 65 million.
EBIT
EBIT adj. amounted to negative NOK 39 million, compared with negative NOK 42 million in the prior-year period.
A total of NOK 18 million were booked as one-off costs in the quarter. This resulted in an EBIT result of negative NOK 57 million, compared with negative NOK 48 million in the prior-year period.
NET FINANCIALS
Net financial expenses were NOK 41 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared with NOK 43 million in the first quarter of 2024. Interest on the group's debt facilities and factoring expenses remained the principal components of the financial expenses.
