EVRY: Annual Accounts for 2014

(Oslo, 22 April 2015) The Board of Directors of EVRY ASA has approved the Annual Report and Accounts for 2014.

The group underwent a strategic process during the second half of 2014 which resulted in Lyngen Bidco AS, a company indirectly controlled by private equity funds advised by Apax Partners LLP, making a voluntary offer for all the outstanding shares in EVRY ASA at a price of NOK 16 per share. Following completion of the process, on 16 March 2015 Lyngen Bidco AS acquired 234,797,184 shares in EVRY ASA, equivalent to approximately 88% of the shares. A transaction price of NOK 16 per share is equivalent to a value of NOK 4,277 million for the group's equity, while the book value of the group's equity at 31 December 2014 was NOK 5,441 million.

The Board of Directors of EVRY ASA has decided to write-down the value of goodwill and therefore the book value of the group's equity by NOK 1,164 million, which means the book value of equity at 31 December 2014 now corresponds to the value implied by the transaction.

This is an accounting write-down that does not change the operating result. It has no effect on cash flow and does not affect the company's future earnings.

After the goodwill write-down, the final pre-tax result from continuing operations for 2014 was a loss of NOK 743 million compared to preliminary figures that showed a pre-tax profit of NOK 421 million. The final net result for 2014 was a net loss of NOK 871 million compared to preliminary figures that showed a net profit of NOK 294 million.

The Annual Report and Accounts will be published on www.evry.com on 28 April 2015.
