(Oslo, 26 October 2022) StrongPoint ASA (StrongPoint, OSE: STRO) reported
revenues of NOK 346 million in the third quarter of 2022, 76% growth compared to
same quarter in 2021 (196) and an EBITDA of NOK 21 million (8). The company
reiterates its 2025 revenue ambition of NOK 2.5 billion and a 13-15% EBITDA
margin.

"In difficult economic times, people will always shop for groceries which is why
serving the resilient and non-cyclical grocery market is as close to certainty
as possible. This is evident for StrongPoint, and it is evident in the third
quarter financial results: a very strong 76% topline growth, of which 20% was
organic. Almost 2.5 times EBITDA improvement and EBIT increased 7-fold," says
Jacob Tveraabak, Chief Executive Officer of StrongPoint. 

StrongPoint reported revenues of NOK 345.9 million (196.4) in the third quarter
of 2022 and an EBITDA* of NOK 20.7 million (8.0). The third quarter EBIT was NOK
10.2 million (1.4) and the net profit after tax ended at NOK 8.0 million in the
quarter (-0.3). Cash flow from operating activities was NOK 4 million. 

"Delivering a turnover of NOK 346 million in the third quarter is a great
achievement. The absence of component shortages would have generated an
additional NOK 15 million revenue in the quarter and foreign exchange had a
negative NOK 9 million impact on sales. The third quarter is obviously
positively impacted by the inclusion of recently acquired Air Link Group with
NOK 110 million in revenue. However, organically StrongPoint grew its topline a
very healthy 20% driven by in-store efficiency solutions," Tveraabak continues. 

"We strongly believe in bringing StrongPoint's own, proprietary products and
solutions, as well as key partner solutions, to these new markets. I continue to
be optimistic about achieving our 2025 strategic ambitions," Tveraabak
concludes.
