Three simple methods
The methods give between 3 MNOK and 7 MNOK.
| Method | Multiple | Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| P/E | 22.4 | 7 MNOK |
| EV/EBIT | 17.4 | 7 MNOK |
| P/B | 4.1 | 3 MNOK |
| EV/EBIT: from enterprise value to equity | NOK |
|---|---|
| Enterprise value (EV) at the listed multiple | 13 MNOK |
| Enterprise value after the size adjustment | 8 MNOK |
| Less net debt (rough figure) | 1 MNOK |
| Equity value | 7 MNOK |
Net debt is a rough figure: long-term liabilities minus cash. The accounts do not split interest-bearing debt from other liabilities, and short-term borrowings are not included. The size adjustment applies to the enterprise value, not to the debt.
The listed basis is the value at listed multiples. The estimate is lowered for size: a small-company premium of 4% on the cost of equity gives a value 38% 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 (74): Business & Consumer 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

Worth a closer look
- watch
Receivables equal far more days of revenue than at comparable companies. Do customers pay late, or are these loans to companies in the same group?
Based on: Receivable days 165 days (median 47 days).
- watch
The operating result covers the financial costs less than one and a half times. How much higher interest or a weaker year can the company take?
Based on: Interest coverage (times) 1.4 (median 13.8); Financial costs as a share of debt 2.8% (median 0.7%).
Indications based on the latest annual accounts from open data. Not investment or financial advice.
Financial costs were 2.8% of the debt in 2024. The policy rate averaged 4.50 % the same year. This is a plain description of what the debt cost, not a model of interest sensitivity.
