Key facts
Is the company run well?
Five key figures against companies in the Morning class Micro in the same sector. Green is better than most, amber about like the industry and red weaker than most.
- Profitability · operating margin −1.9% Weaker than the industry Industry: 4.5%
- Returns · return on assets −5.3% Weaker than the industry Industry: 8.9%

- Liquidity · current ratio 1.19 About like the industry Industry: 1.33
- Growth · revenue growth −2.6% Weaker than the industry Industry: 8.7%
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

The operating result is negative, so the interest coverage is negative: operations cover none of the financial costs.
Net working capital (current assets less bank deposits less current liabilities): −1.4 MNOK.
The median and the bar refer to companies in the Morning class Micro 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

| 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.

DuPont on the closing balance: net margin −1.5% × asset turnover 3.54 × multiplier 6.28 = −33.7% of equity at the end of the year. The return on equity above uses average equity and can differ slightly.
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 Morning class Micro 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 2025 the operating margin of Appoint AS fell by 5.3 percentage points. Comparable companies rose by a median 0.0 points. So the company did 5.4 points weaker than the industry, for reasons of its own.
Over 2 year-to-year changes Appoint AS moved the same way as comparable companies 0 times. About 2% 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 3.4% | 4.5% | +5.9 percentage points | −0.3 percentage points | +6.2 percentage points |
| 2025 | −1.9% | 4.5% | −5.3 percentage points | +0.0 percentage points | −5.4 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 0 MNOK
The mean of the 2 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. The methods differ widely (the highest is 25.8 times the lowest), so the estimate is uncertain.
That is about 350 NOK per share, on 1,000 shares in the shareholder register.
The methods give between 0 MNOK and 1 MNOK.
| Method | Multiple | Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| P/E | 17.3 | 0 MNOK |
| EV/EBIT | 14.1 | not meaningful |
| P/B | 2.7 | 1 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 NACE code has no listed industry of its own in the table, so the multiples are the sector median: Business & Consumer Services, Office Equipment & 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
