Multiconsult ASA reported higher second-quarter 2026 revenue and improved reported profitability, helped by increased capacity and higher billing rates. Net operating revenues rose 7.8% year on year to NOK 1,527.1 million, while EBITA climbed to NOK 108.2 million from NOK 67.4 million, lifting the EBITA margin to 7.1% from 4.8%. The company said higher billing rates supported results, though gains were partly offset by a lower billing ratio and cost growth. Order intake increased 8.4% to NOK 1,669 million, while the overall market outlook remains stable. For the first half, net operating revenues reached NOK 3,135.0 million and net profit rose to NOK 199.0 million. CEO Karsten Warloe, who assumed the role on 1 June, said the group is focused on profitability measures and sees broad practical use of digitalisation and AI across the business.
