Key facts
Is the company run well?
Five key figures against companies in the same sector. Green is better than most, amber about like the industry and red weaker than most.
- Returns · return on assets −1.2% Weaker than the industry Industry: 11.7%
- Solidity · equity ratio 26.0% Weaker than the industry Industry: 36.4%
- Liquidity · current ratio 0.75 Weaker than the industry Industry: 1.41
The mark comes from the company's place among comparable companies (percentile): green from 60, amber from 40, red below 40. Negative equity, an operating loss and a current ratio under 1 pull it down regardless. Methodology

Scenario analysis: the sector's weakest year
We have no accounts for 2026, the sector's weakest year, for this company.
The sector's weakest year was 2026, with a median operating margin of 4.1%. Based on the 8 fiscal years we have. The analysis grows as more years are fetched or imported. Methodology

Net working capital (current assets less bank deposits less current liabilities): −258.1 MNOK.
The median and the bar refer to companies in the same sector in 2025. The bar shows the share of the group with a lower figure: higher is not always better, long receivable days tie up capital, for example. These figures do not count in the score.
Returns, debt against earnings and quality
| Measure | Company | Median | |

| Returns | |||
| Return on equity (ROE) Net result over the average of equity at the start and end of the year (the end alone when last year is missing). Not calculated with negative equity. |
−10.0% | 23.5% | |
| Return on capital employed (ROCE) Operating result over capital employed, that is total assets less current liabilities. The return regardless of how the company is financed. |

– | 1.57 | |
| Equity multiplier Total assets over equity: 4 means three quarters is financed with debt. The third part of the DuPont split. |
3.84 | 2.34 | |
| Debt and financing | |||
| Net debt in times operating result Long-term liabilities less cash, over the operating result: roughly how many years the business must earn to repay the debt. A negative figure means more cash than long-term debt. Rough, because the accounts do not split out interest-bearing debt. Only calculated when the operating result is positive. |
– | −1.1 | |
| Fixed-asset cover Equity plus long-term liabilities over fixed assets (total assets less current assets). Below 1: fixed assets are partly financed with short-term debt. |

– | 22.0% | |
| Operating leverage Percentage change in operating result over percentage change in revenue from last year. 3 means a 1% fall in revenue gives a 3% fall in operating result. Only calculated when revenue moved at least 2% and last year's operating result was positive. |
– | 1.4 | |
| Payroll costs over revenue Payroll costs (with employer's contribution and pension) over revenue. Shows how much of revenue is a fixed cost in a service business. |
– | 46.7% | |
| Revenue safety margin How far revenue can fall before the operating result is zero, assuming payroll is fixed and all other costs follow revenue. A calculation, not a measurement: depreciation and rent are also fixed, so reality is lower. |
– | 24.1% | |
| Cash runway (months) Cash over the operating loss per month, only for years with a loss. Assumes the loss continues unchanged and no new financing arrives. Capped at 120 months. |
7 mo. | 12 mo. | |
The operating result is not positive, so net debt over operating result and the safety margin are not calculated.
The median and the bar are for companies in the same sector in 2025. The bar shows the share of the group with a lower figure: high is not always good. The figures are our own calculations from the annual accounts and do not count in the score. Open data has no depreciation, so no EBITDA, and the accounts do not split out interest-bearing debt. How we calculate
The industry or the company: what drove the result?
In 2024 the operating margin of Nscale AS rose by 829.5 percentage points. Comparable companies rose by a median 0.5 points. So the company did 829.1 points better than the industry, for reasons of its own.
Over 2 year-to-year changes Nscale AS moved the same way as comparable companies 1 times. About 0% of the changes in operating margin were common to the industry; the rest was the company's own.
| Year | The company | Comparable (median) | Change, company | Change, industry | The company's own |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | −1,056.4% | 6.0% | −1,034.3 percentage points | +1.1 percentage points | −1,035.4 percentage points |
| 2024 | −226.9% | 6.5% | +829.5 percentage points | +0.5 percentage points | +829.1 percentage points |
Comparable companies are those in the same industry and Morning company class. Their change shows what hit the whole industry, the sector drivers below included. The rest is the company's own: contracts, costs, one-off items or operations. The share is approximate, and we claim no cause.

Three simple methods
Suggested price: about 1,000 MNOK
The mean of the 1 methods below (P/E, EV/EBIT and P/B with listed multiples and a size adjustment), rounded to two significant figures. It is a calculation, not a bid or a valuation. Fewer than three methods gave a figure, so the mean is weaker than it looks.
That is about 1,000 NOK per share, on 1,000,000 shares in the shareholder register.
One method gives a figure: 1,011 MNOK.
| Method | Multiple | Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| P/E | 18.0 | not meaningful |
| EV/EBIT | 14.9 | not meaningful |
| P/B | 3.6 | 1,011 MNOK |
The listed basis is the value at listed multiples. The estimate is lowered for size: a small-company premium of 2% on the cost of equity gives a value 24% lower. No separate marketability discount is applied, because the premium already allows for the company being small and unlisted.
The multiples are from the listed industry that matches the NACE code (63): Computer Services.
Not financial advice. The value range is a rough model estimate from listed-company multiples, not a valuation, a price target or a price offer. The actual value may differ greatly. Read more

Figures you will not find in any register
We calculated these figures ourselves from the accounts and registers we have read. The company has not reported them and the Brønnøysund Register Centre does not publish them. They are indications and are not part of the index. How we calculate
- Implied dividend (net payout)
- Equity moved as the result implied in 2025.
Calculated as retained earnings at the start of the year + net result − retained earnings at the end of the year. What remains is dividends and group contributions, plus transfers to other items and corrections of earlier years. It is not a dividend figure. - Owners and leadership aged 60 or older
- No sign of a near generation change in the ages.
- The chair is under 60.
- 0 of 2 on the board are 60 or older.
- What the largest owner can do alone
- The largest owner holds 100.0% of the shares, at least two thirds. The owner can alone secure decisions that need a two-thirds majority, such as changes to the articles (Companies Act § 5-18), and all decisions by ordinary majority (§ 5-17).
The owner is a foreign company.
Applies to the largest single owner in the shareholder register (2025). The articles can limit voting rights and owners can vote together, and we cannot see either. Ownership through other companies is not counted.
