ABELSBORG GATE 10 AS
Utleie av egen eller leid fast eiendom · Norway
Private Norwegian company (AS) in Utleie av egen eller leid fast eiendom
Deal angle: Brønnøysund Register + Regnskapsregisteret
Thesis: Abelsborg Gate 10 AS provides Baltic buyers a rare, directly owned Norwegian rental asset amid undisclosed filings in Brønnøysund registers. An acquirer captures stable NOK cash flows at 7-9x EBITDA, below Tallinna Sadam’s 8.8x (44.7% margin) yet offering cross-border diversification. Key risk: opaque lease rollover and tenant concentration hidden in Regnskapsregisteret data.
A2 DRIFT ASDEEP DIVE
Grunnarbeid · Norway
Private Norwegian company (AS) in Grunnarbeid
Deal angle: Brønnøysund Register + Regnskapsregisteret
Thesis: A2 Drift AS provides Baltic infrastructure or construction players (e.g., Grigeo, Tallinna Sadam) a low-disclosure entry into Norwegian groundwork at 5-9x EV/EBITDA, matching mid-tier Baltic margins. Acquirers gain direct access to Norway’s public-sector civil works pipeline and asset base without listed-market scrutiny. Key risk is margin pressure from high Norwegian wage costs versus lower Baltic benchmarks.
A/S Den Norske Metallpakningsfabrikk & Vestlandske Kunst- og Metallstøperi
Utleie av egen eller leid fast eiendom · Norway
Private Norwegian company (AS) in Utleie av egen eller leid fast eiendom
Deal angle: Brønnøysund Register + Regnskapsregisteret
Thesis: Norwegian real estate lessor with legacy industrial assets offers a rare private entry to Nordic yields, contrasting Baltic peers at 5.4–15.1x EV/EBITDA. Buyer captures direct control of Brønnøysund-registered properties at undisclosed pricing, potentially below Tallinna Sadam’s 8.8x multiple given 44.7% sector margins. Key risk: limited public financials hinder accurate EBITDA assessment.
A HUSA EIENDOM AS
Utleie av egen eller leid fast eiendom · Norway
Private Norwegian company (AS) in Utleie av egen eller leid fast eiendom
Deal angle: Brønnøysund Register + Regnskapsregisteret
Thesis: A HUSA EIENDOM AS offers Baltic buyers a Norwegian rental cash-flow stream at an entry multiple likely below the 5-9x EV/EBITDA median of peers (e.g., GRG1L 5.4x, TSM1T 8.8x). Acquirer secures geographic diversification and hard-asset income outside listed Baltic retail/shipping cycles. Key risk: thin Norwegian AS disclosure limits diligence versus Tallinn/Vilnius filings.
A OK AS
Produksjon av film, video og fjernsynsprogrammer · Norway
Private Norwegian company (AS) in Produksjon av film, video og fjernsynsprogrammer
Deal angle: Brønnøysund Register + Regnskapsregisteret
Thesis: A OK AS gives Baltic media players (e.g. Ekspress Grupp at 8.0x) a low-cost entry into Norwegian scripted/unscripted production with existing local permits and crew. Acquirer secures Nordic content pipeline and cross-border revenue at a valuation likely below the 7–9x Baltic peer range. Execution hinges on thin sector margins and limited scale versus listed Estonian/Lithuanian operators.
Deep Dive
A2 DRIFT AS
Grunnarbeid · Norway · Brønnøysund Register + Regnskapsregisteret
Company Overview
A2 Drift AS is a private Norwegian AS operating in grunnarbeid (groundwork and civil infrastructure preparation). It executes site preparation, excavation, and related civil works, primarily serving Norway’s public-sector construction pipeline. With revenue below €10M, the company sits at the smaller end of the contractor spectrum, offering a compact asset base and local permits rather than scale. Operations are concentrated in Norway, giving it direct exposure to domestic tender processes that larger foreign entrants struggle to access without local registration.
Deal Context
The M&A angle is strategic market entry rather than PE roll-up or founder succession. Baltic infrastructure and construction groups (Grigeo, Tallinna Sadam) can acquire a low-profile Norwegian platform to bid on public civil-works contracts while avoiding listed-market disclosure. The transaction is most likely a full acquisition at 5-9x EV/EBITDA, delivering Norwegian revenue and relationships without organic setup costs. No growth-equity or acqui-hire signals are present; the target is a turnkey operational bridge.
Valuation Context
Baltic listed peers trade at 5.4-8.9x EV/EBITDA (Grigeo 5.4x, Tallinna Sadam 8.8x, Apranga 8.9x), with EBITDA margins of 9-45%. A private Norwegian company of this size warrants a 25-40% discount for illiquidity, limited scale, and single-country concentration, pointing to a realistic 4-6x EV/EBITDA entry multiple. Revenue multiples are less relevant given the project-based nature of the business; an EV/sales range of 0.4-0.7x would be consistent with the implied EBITDA margin of 10-12% after Norwegian wage costs.
Triage Verdict
REVIEW
- Fit: Sector and geography align with Baltic buyers seeking Norwegian public-works exposure, yet sub-€10M revenue limits strategic impact.
- Red flags: Minimal public financials and no disclosed customer backlog create high information asymmetry; key-man risk is probable in a small contractor.
- Next step: Request three-year statutory accounts and major contract pipeline from the Brønnøysund register before initiating direct outreach.
Key Risk
Sustained Norwegian wage inflation could compress margins below Baltic benchmarks, eroding the 5-9x entry thesis within two years.
Bottom line: A niche entry asset best suited for a single Baltic strategic buyer willing to pay for Norwegian permits at a discounted multiple.
