Three simple methods
One method gives a figure: 28 MNOK.
| Method | Multiple | Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| P/E | 22.4 | not meaningful |
| EV/EBIT | 17.4 | not meaningful |
| P/B | 4.1 | 28 MNOK |
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.

Worth a closer look
- critical
The operating result does not cover the financial costs. How will the debt be serviced, and what do the lenders say?
Based on: Interest coverage (times) −1.6 (median 8.2); Financial costs as a share of debt 3.5% (median 1.5%).
- watch
The equity ratio is very low. Could the company absorb a bad year, and does it need more equity?
Based on: Equity ratio 4.9% (median 30.9%).
- watch
Consider strengthening liquidity: current liabilities are 1.1 times current assets.
Based on: Current ratio 0.87 (median 1.30).
- watch
The company made a loss before tax. Are these one-off items or a pattern?
Based on: Profit margin −14.2% (median 5.9%).
- watch
The operating margin is lower than at three in four companies in the sector. Where do costs differ from competitors?
Based on: Operating margin −8.9% (median 5.3%).
- 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 249 days (median 92 days).
- watch
Current liabilities exceed current assets other than bank deposits, and the current ratio is weak. Is it customer prepayments and supplier credit that fund the operations, or short-term loans that must be renewed?
Based on: Net working capital to revenue −16.8% (median −1.0%); Current ratio 0.87 (median 1.30).
Indications based on the latest annual accounts from open data. Not investment or financial advice.
Financial costs were 3.5% 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.
