Financial Results for Q1 2022 Released: Maintaining Full-Year Outlook

Business 6 May 2022 By

In Q1 2022, NNIT saw a decline in revenue and earnings mainly due to a temporary decline in capacity utilisation. Positively, several significant contracts were signed, and strategic initiatives progressed as planned. Outlook for the full year is maintained.

CEO Pär Fors comments: ‘We continued to make headway with the strategic initiatives to build a stronger NNIT by introducing new business units, the acquisition of prime4services and signing key contracts with new and existing customers in Q1 2022. A temporary decline in capacity utilisation negatively impacted our financial results, and we remain confident that we will reach our targets for the full year.’

  • Group revenue declined by 4.1% (-7.5% organic) to DKK 701 million, following a lower contribution from the Global Infrastructure Agreement with Novo Nordisk. The decrease was partly outweighed by growth in Life Sciences Solutions.
  • The operating result before special items decreased to DKK -9 million from DKK 48 million due to the renegotiation of the Novo Nordisk contract and a temporary decline in capacity utilisation after the cancellation of a large International Life Sciences Solutions project and customer postponement of a large ERP implementation. The operating profit margin declined to -1.3% compared to 6.6% in Q1 2021.
  • NNIT’s external reporting structure has been revised to reflect the three business units – Life Sciences Solutions, Cloud & Digital Solutions and Hybrid Cloud Solutions – ensuring alignment with the Group’s new organisational structure as of 1st January 2022.

Selected business highlights

  • NNIT acquired prime4services, a leading European Manufacturing Execution System implementation consultancy, further strengthening the Group’s capabilities within Life Sciences Production IT.
  • Significant new contracts and contract renewals were secured across all business units, including a six-year contract with ATP and a five-year contract with Banedanmark to continue signing with e-nettet and the Nordic Regional Security Coordinator in Q4 2021.
  • NNIT maintains the 2022 outlook for revenue growth of 2–5% with an operating profit margin before special items of around 5%. The structural transformation of the Group is still expected to lead to special items up to the same level as in 2021.
