Company announcement October 25, 2018
Performance highlights for the first nine months of 2018

- The share of revenue from the life sciences (excl. Novo Nordisk Group), enterprise, public and finance customer groups increased from 58% in 9M 2017 to 63% in 9M 2018, thereby reducing the dependency on the Novo Nordisk Group
- Operating profit margin was 9.2% in 9M 2018 in reported currencies compared to 7.9% in 9M 2017, which was impacted by a one-off settlement of DKK 33m in the public customer group
- Net profit of DKK 151m in 9M 2018 compared to DKK 126m in 9M 2017
- Free cash flow for 9M 2018 was DKK 116m compared to negative DKK 14m in 9M 2017

Per Kogut, CEO at NNIT comments: “I am pleased to see continued strong revenue growth from the international life sciences, enterprise and public customer groups, all growing with more than 20% in 9M 2018. With the acquisition of the fast-growing IT-service provider to the international life sciences industry, Valiance Partners, and the solid 9M 2018 revenue development we have recently been able to increase our full year revenue guidance to 4-7% from previously 3-6%.”
