INVL Technology’s net profit in the first quarter was EUR 0.6 million; in the same period last year the company had a net loss of EUR 0.1 million. 

During the first quarter of this year the value of the Novian companies decreased EUR 0.2 million, while the value of NRD Companies and NRD Cyber Security rose EUR 0.12 million and EUR 0.11 million, respectively. The consolidated revenue of NRD Companies AS with its subsidiaries increased 7.5% versus the same period last year, to EUR 1.8 million, while the companies’ consolidated EBITDA decreased 21% to EUR 0.2 million.

Both the revenue and the EBITDA of the Novian group’s companies decreased. Revenue fell 17% to EUR 4.3 million and EBITDA fell from EUR 0.22 million to EUR 0.06 million. The poorer performance of the mentioned groups was offset by NRD Cyber Security’s significantly better operating results.

Even though the aggregated revenues of the companies in all business areas decreased, aggregated EBITDA was unchanged in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 at EUR 0.4 million.

NRD Cyber Security, which works in the area of cyber security, is growing rapidly this year due to sales of proprietary products as well as consulting work and recurring services. The company’s first-quarter revenue grew 90% compared with the first quarter of 2020, from EUR 0.35 million to EUR 0.67 million. EBITDA, which was negative in the first quarter of 2020, was a positive EUR 0.17 million in the first quarter of this year.

Over the coming three years, Novian and NRD Companies, which work in public sector digitalization, will be significantly impacted by implementation of the recently announced EUR 673 billion EU Recovery and Resilience programme. Of that amount, EUR 2.2 billion is envisaged for Lithuania, with EUR 440 million of that going for digitalization of public services.
