NNIT A/S: Financial report for the first six months of 2022
NNIT announced the transformative divestment of the Group’s infrastructure business, initiated the carve-out process and continued the efforts to consolidate global delivery capabilities in Q2 2022, which was marked by slower-than-expected sales performance. The temporary suspension of NNIT’s full-year outlook is maintained.
Financial highlights for the second quarter 2022
- Group revenue increased 1.8% (-6.8% organic) to DKK 723 million driven by acquisitions and moderate growth in Life Sciences Solutions outweighed by slow sales overall and lower revenue from the Global Infrastructure Agreement with Novo Nordisk.
- The operating profit before special items decreased to DKK -11 million from DKK 36 million impacted by the renegotiated Novo Nordisk contract and temporarily lower capacity utilization. The operating profit margin declined to -1.5% before special items from 5.1% in Q2 2021.
- Special items amounted to DKK 36 million and related mainly to restructuring costs, including costs related to the divestment of infrastructure operations.
- The Group’s infrastructure operations remain classified as continuing operations due the current state of the business and the ongoing carve-out work. Besides that, to increase transparency certain cost components from Group Companies have been reclassified to Sales and Administration costs from Production costs.
Business highlights
- On 22 June, NNIT entered into an agreement to divest its Hybrid Cloud Solutions business unit as well as selected parts of its Cloud & Digital Solutions business unit, enabling the NNIT Group to center investments, competencies and sales force around the two core business areas, Life Sciences Solutions and Cloud & Digital Solutions.
- NNIT won a major six-year contract for delivery of administrative IT systems and services to Danmarks Nationalbank with an estimated total contract value of DKK 1 billion and secured other significant contracts and renewals across business units in the quarter.
- The order backlog for 2022 stood at DKK 2,572 million at the end of June, corresponding to a decrease of 2.7% compared to the same time last year and an increase of 28% from the beginning of the year.
Outlook
- The temporary suspension of NNIT’s 2022 outlook is maintained.
Pär Fors, CEO of NNIT, comments: "We took important steps in our strategy execution in the second quarter as we launched the transformative divestment of our infrastructure business to establish NNIT as a highly specialized IT services provider focusing exclusively on our core areas within IT services to the Life Sciences market and Cloud & Digital Solutions. While sales remained slower than expected in the quarter, we expect continued performance improvements and improved capacity utilization in the coming period."
