The earnings call presented a mixed outlook. While there were significant achievements in revenue growth, partnerships, and positive political developments, challenges remain with low EBITDA, PEM segment struggles, and a decline in order intake. The company is optimistic about future prospects and market recovery.
Company Guidance
During the NEL.OL Q3 2024 earnings call, CEO Hakon Volldal provided comprehensive guidance, highlighting several metrics. The company reported revenues of NOK 366 million and an EBITDA of minus NOK 90 million, with an order intake of NOK 161 million and an order backlog of NOK 1.9 billion. Cash reserves were close to NOK 2 billion.
