Sandvika, 5 November 2025 (OSE: NORCO): Norconsult ASA (“Norconsult”) has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of Metier Group AS (“Metier”), a leading Norwegian consultancy specialized in project management, business development, digitalisation and educational programs from Tetra Tech RPS Energy Limited.
Metier is headquartered in Oslo and has 250 employees. The company serves a broad and diverse client base across both public and private customers. Metier has a strong brand and a solid reputation in the Norwegian market.
For the twelve-month period ending 30 June 2025, Metier reported net revenue (according to Norconsult definition) of NOK 494 million, and an adjusted EBITA of NOK 60 million, corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 12%.
“Metier brings valuable expertise in several areas that we have been looking to strengthen, particularly within project management and early phase consulting. There is also a strategic fit with Metier’s educational services related to project management. In addition, Metier’s digital business is complementary compared to Norconsult’s digital services. Altogether, this acquisition represents a strategic milestone in our journey to become the leading full-service interdisciplinary consultancy in the Nordics. We look forward to welcoming the Metier team to Norconsult” said Egil Hogna, CEO of Norconsult.
“Joining Norconsult unlocks existing opportunities for both our team and clients. We are confident that, under the ownership of Norconsult, Metier will continue to grow both professionally and organisationally. We have known Norconsult for many years and share a strong commitment to delivering high-quality solutions and creating long-term value. We are looking forward to becoming a part of the Norconsult group,” said Halvard S. Kilde, CEO of Metier.
Norconsult will acquire Metier based on an Enterprise Value of NOK 480 million. The final equity purchase price is subject to customary net debt and normalisation of working capital adjustments. The transaction will be settled in cash, partially financed by a NOK 400 million Term Loan Facility.
Closing is subject to approval by the Norwegian Competition Authority, with completion expected in December 2025.
