Introduction About Lumi Gruppen Executive Summary

Additional cost measures under implementation to improve profitability, limited impact on core business

Financials Strategy & Operations Sonans Oslo Nye Høyskole Outlook Disclaimer

Additional cost measures amounting to NOK 12-18 million with full effect from the school year 2024/2025 Cost measures mainly related to lower campus operation costs, renegotiation of lease contracts, sub-leasing, and changes in the organisational set-up for NTech and Group Functions Underlying financial development for Sonans is somewhat better when adjusting for last year's online revenue effect and stricter credit control measures that we expect to materialise in improved profitability going forward Cost level at ONH stabilised and reduced compared to Q3-22 and year to date last year, leading to a margin expansion back to levels prior to the ramp-up in OpEx and the expansion of study programmes
