Veidekke achieved revenues of NOK 8.4 billion in Q1, and a pre-tax loss of NOK
-55 million. The group's order book totalled NOK 39.6 billion at quarter-end.
The loss per share was NOK -0.4.

"While the majority of Veidekke's operations delivered satisfactory results in a
quarter historically marked by seasonal downturns, extraordinary finance costs
contributed to a weaker group performance than last year," says Group CEO Jimmy
Bengtsson.

"The first quarter of the year saw a strong inflow of new projects in most
segments, bolstering Veidekke's order book," says Bengtsson.

"Challenges experienced by the group during the Covid-19 pandemic, such as
unreliable supply and increased commodity prices, have intensified as a result
of the war in Ukraine, and will remain uncertainty factors going forward.
Veidekke is monitoring developments closely and maintaining supplier dialogues
to secure competitive prices and safeguard project progression," says Jimmy
Bengtsson.

Veidekke achieved revenues of NOK 8.4 billion in Q1 2022, compared to NOK 8.3
billion in the first quarter of 2021. The pre-tax loss totalled NOK -55 million,
compared to a profit of NOK 28 million in Q1 2021 (which included a gain on sale
of NOK 39 million). The group's first-quarter performance was impacted by
seasonal downturns in the asphalt and aggregates operations, as well as some
civil engineering segments. Most business areas achieved profitability on a par
with Q1 2021, with the exception of Construction Sweden, which experienced a
weaker quarter. Extraordinary finance costs amounted to NOK 33 million,
including NOK 13 million linked to redemption of a bond loan and NOK 20 million
in unrealised losses on financial investments, attributable to turbulence in the
financial markets. Overall, the profit margin was -0.7%, compared to 0.3% in the
first quarter of 2021.

Net interest-bearing assets totalled NOK 3.3 billion at the end of Q1 2022,
compared to NOK 3.7 billion at the beginning of the year. Cash flow from
operational activities amounted to NOK 1 million in Q1, up from NOK -185 million
in Q1 2021. The statement of financial position totalled NOK 16.5 billion at
quarter-end, on a par with the corresponding quarter of last year but down from
NOK 17.3 billion at the beginning of the year.

The group's quarterly order intake was NOK 10.4 billion, compared to NOK 9.8
billion in Q1 2021. At quarter-end, the order book amounted to NOK 39.6 billion,
up from NOK 37.9 billion last year. Around two-thirds of the order book will be
converted into revenue in the next 12 months.

The first-quarter LTI (lost time injury) rate was 5.4, on a par with the
preceding quarter and slightly up from 5.0 in Q1 2021. The sick leave rate was
4.7%, compared to 4.6% in the preceding quarter and 5.2% in the first quarter of
last year.
