"The third quarter was another eventful quarter for us at NORBIT. We saw growth across both Oceans and PIR, while Connectivity achieved increased profits despite rescheduled orders from a major European client," says Per Jørgen Weisethaunet, CEO of NORBIT.
Over the last two months, the Oceans segment has received orders for a total of NOK 100 million for GuardPoint Underwater Surveillance Sonars, with deliveries expected during the fourth quarter of 2024 and first quarter of 2025.
The Connectivity segment announced an agreement with Toll4Europe for supply of a new, innovative GNSS On-Board Unit currently under development. The initial contract is valued at approximately NOK 160 million, with deliveries scheduled for the second and third quarter of 2025.
Progressing well into the last three months of the year, activity is high in all three business segments, supported by solid demand. NORBIT expects full-year revenues to end up around NOK 1.75 billion, while the EBIT margin is forecasted to be approximately 20 per cent for the year.
"As we approach the last leg of 2024, it's satisfying to see that we are on track to achieve our annual financial targets. It's inspiring to witness how the organisation embraces the opportunities ahead, working tirelessly each day to ensure our clients experience our core value: We Deliver," says Weisethaunet.
