EXTRACT OF COMMENTS FROM CEO, GRETHE BERGLY:

Multiconsult delivered a very strong quarter, continuing the positive momentum.
A continued high billing ratio throughout this quarter attests to the elevated
activity levels across the organisation and in all business areas. We continue
to achieve impressive results driven by robust operational
performance and high activity levels in many of our large projects. I would like
to express my gratitude to all our employees for their contributions to these
results.

Three years into the strategy period, we have seen significant changes in our
surroundings and macro-economic situation, which have also impacted our client
base. In light of this, we have updated our strategy, and this will be presented
in the Capital Markets Day presentation following the presentation of the third
quarter results.

We continue to experience strong demand for our services, there are however
variations in the market situation across geographical locations and business
areas. With the ongoing geopolitical challenges, our strong references related
to the defence sector is creating new business opportunities and we are well
positioned for the increase in activities, both within the sector and to all
services related to this market. It is a significant achievement that
Multiconsult, at the start of November, was awarded a NOK 450 million framework
agreement with the Norwegian Defence Estates Agency (NDEA) (Forsvarsbygg).

Looking ahead, Multiconsult is in a strong position to handle a changing market
and support our clients' needs. Our solid order backlog, focus on
sustainability, and growth in key areas position us well for future
opportunities. With our dedicated teams and strong foundation, I am confident we
will continue to build on our success.

For a full review of comments from CEO, please refer third quarter 2024 interim
report.

FINANCIAL REVIEW, THIRD QUARTER 2024:

Net operating revenues amounted to NOK 1 148.4 million (977.0), an increase of
17.5 per cent compared to the same quarter last year. The organic revenue growth
amounted to 15.9 per cent, adjusted for calendar effect and acquisition. The
increase in net operating revenues was driven by increased capacity, higher
billing rates, higher billing ratio and a one-time settlement payment from
client of NOK 31.2 million. The billing ratio exceeded last year's comparable
quarter by 3.4 percentage points, reaching 71.2 per cent (67.8). Higher
capacity, reflected by an increase in full-time equivalents (FTE) of 2.1 per
cent contributed positively.

Operating expenses consist of employee benefit expenses and other operating
expenses. Operating expenses increased by 10.7 per cent to NOK 984.7 million
(889.8) compared to the same quarter in 2023. Employee benefit expenses
increased by 10.4 per cent in line with ordinary salary adjustment, increased
staffing level from acquisitions, and increase in net recruitment. Other
operating expenses increased by 12.0 per cent to NOK 154.0 million (137.4),
primarily due to higher IT-cost and cost increase in general.

EBITDA was NOK 163.8 million (87.2), an increase of 87.8 per cent compared to
the same period last year, reflecting an EBITDA margin of 14.3 per cent (8.9) in
the quarter.

EBITA was NOK 102.9 million (29.2), an increase of 252.3 per cent year-over
-year, reflecting an EBITA margin of 9.0 per cent (3.0) in the quarter.

EBITA adjusted for one-offs was NOK 71.7 million, reflecting an EBITA margin of
6.4 per cent (3.0) in the quarter. One-off related to settlement payment of
contractual dispute of NOK 31.2 million.

Calendar effect: In the third quarter there was one more working day compared to
the third quarter of 2023, two additional days in July and one fewer day in
August 2024. This had an estimated negative impact of NOK 6.1 million on net
operating revenues and operating results. In connection with number of working
days in comparable periods Multiconsult uses alternative performance measures to
provide a better understanding of the group's underlying financial performance,
see last section of this report.



FINANCIAL REVIEW, YEAR TO DATE 2024:

Net operating revenues increased by 14.5 per cent to NOK 3 940.3 million (3
441.0). The organic revenue growth amounted to 12.2 per cent, adjusted for
calendar effect and acquisition. The increase in net operating revenues was
driven by increased capacity, reflected by an increase in full-time equivalents
(FTE) of 6.0 per cent, higher billing ratio, and higher billing rates. The
billing ratio increased to 72.9 per cent (70.4), an increase of 2.5 percentage
points.

Operating expenses consist of employee benefit expenses and other operating
expenses. Reported operating expenses increased by 12.1 per cent to NOK 3 334.5
million (2 973.3) compared to the same period last year. Employee benefit
expenses increased by 12.7 per cent and came in at NOK 2 869.5 million (2
545.3), an increase driven by net recruitment, regular salary adjustment and
employee benefit expenses arising from acquisitions. Other operating expenses
increased by 8.6 per cent to NOK 465.0 million (428.0), partly an effect of
operating expenses included from prior acquisitions and from cost increase in
general.

EBITDA was NOK 605.8 million (467.7), an increase of 29.5 per cent compared to
the same period last year, reflecting an EBITDA margin of 15.4 per cent (13.6).

EBITA was NOK 425.4 million (301.1), an increase of 41.3 per cent y-o-y,
reflecting an EBITA margin of 10.8 per cent (8.8).

EBITA adjusted for one-offs was NOK 394.1 million, reflecting an EBITA margin of
10.1 per cent (8.8) year to date. One-off related to settlement payment of
contractual dispute of NOK 31.2 million in the third quarter.

Calendar effect: As of year to date 2024, the average number of working days was
the same as in the corresponding period in 2023. However, due to variations in
working days within the months between the two years, there was an estimated
negative impact of NOK 27.2 million on net operating revenues and operating
results.

OUTLOOK
The overall market outlook remains good and stable, although there are notable
variations across sectors. Key markets are foreseen to maintain a positive
trend, despite signs of a slowdown in specific areas. Uncertainty surrounding
investment levels and political factors persists, but demand for key services -
particularly related to defence, infrastructure and sustainability projects
remains strong. The competitive landscape continues to evolve, with pricing and
margins for architectural and engineering services remaining sensitive and
variable. New opportunities are emerging, contributing to a generally favourable
pipeline. The outlook supports continued stability and consistent performance.

For a full review, please refer to third quarter and year to date 2024 report.
