Estimated value · 2023

Three simple methods

The methods give between 6 MNOK and 8 MNOK.

EV/EBIT Operating profit: 0.8 MNOK

Equity value8 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 NACE code has no listed industry of its own in the table, so the multiples are the sector median: Engineering/Construction, 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

Indications · 2023

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 193 days (median 75 days).

Indications based on the latest annual accounts from open data. Not investment or financial advice.

Financial costs were 3.4% of the debt in 2023. The policy rate averaged 3.54 % the same year. This is a plain description of what the debt cost, not a model of interest sensitivity.
