NNIT delivers organic revenue growth of 7.7% and an operating profit margin of 10.5% in Q1. Based on a strong cash flow, NNIT expects to pay out an interim dividend in August 2016.

Performance highlights for Q1 2016

  • Revenue increased by 7.7% in both reported and constant currencies to DKK 663m
     
  • Operating profit margin was 10.5% in reported currencies and 10.3% in constant currencies compared with 10.3% in Q1 2015
     
  • Operating profit increased by 10.2% to DKK 70m in reported currencies due to a strong development in IT Operation Services
     
  • Net profit decreased by 11.8% to DKK 51m mainly due to a negative value adjustment of Novo Nordisk shares used for hedging of NNIT's long term incentive program for previous years
     
  • Free cash flow increased by DKK 96m to DKK 131m mainly driven by a positive change in working capital
     
  • Order backlog for 2016 at the beginning of Q2 2016 increased by DKK 137m to DKK 2,275m, corresponding to 6.4% compared with the order backlog for 2015 at the beginning of Q2 2015. However, since the start of Q2 2016 NNIT has won significant contracts with Danske Bank and a new customer outside the Life Sciences segment both representing a medium-size three-digit DKKm amount
     
  • Outlook for 2016 in constant currencies:
    • Revenue in constant currencies is forecasted to grow 5-8% (previously at least 5%), and revenue growth in reported currencies is expected to be 0.3pp lower (previously 0.0pp lower) based on current exchange rates
    • Operating profit margin is forecasted to be 10-11% in constant currencies, whereas, operating profit margin in reported currencies is expected to be around 0.6pp higher (previously 0.3pp higher) based on current exchange rates
       

Based on a strong cash flow NNIT expects to pay out an interim dividend in August 2016 of DKK 48.5m in cash equal to DKK 2 per share of a nominal value of DKK 10.

Per Kogut, CEO at NNIT comments: "The results confirm that NNIT is a robust company that delivers according to expectations. In a mature market with modest growth and fierce global competition, it is particularly promising to see NNIT achieving a revenue growth of 7.7% in Q1 2016. I am very proud of recent contract announcements with market leading companies that document trust in our business model and a desire for quality services."
