RECOMMENDATION STRUCTURE Norne Securities general recommendations Buy, Hold and Sell are based on the expected absolute return on the financial instrument within the next 12 months, which equals to an upside to the target price, in combination with a risk profile. The target price represents the price level which the analyst expects the financial instrument to trade at within the coming 12 months. The table below shows the ranges of returns under different risk levels, based on which the recommendation is being determined: Total return next 12 months (upside to target price) Risk Buy Hold Sell Low > 10% 2% - 10% < 2% Medium > 15% 3% - 15% < 3% High > 25% 5% - 25% < 5% In addition to the general recommendations, Trading Buy and Trading Sell recommendations can be used in the case where the analyst predicts a short term share price performance different from the twelve-month general recommendation. Trading Buy is given when the share price is expected to rise and Trading Sell is given when the share price is expected to fall in the short term (several days to several weeks horizon). Our risk assessments range from high risk to medium risk and low risk and are based on a subjective assessment of the following factors: 1) volatility in the share price, 2) liquidity in the share, 3) strength of the balance sheet, 4) absolute earnings level and trend and 5) estimate risk. TARGET PRICE AND UPDATES Target prices may be based on one or several valuation methods, for instance, the discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis or applying fair pricing multiple(s) based on historical valuation or peer pricing level. Target price may not necessarily equal to the fair value of the financial instrument certain discount or premium is possible due to various reasons, depending on the analyst s view of what the price may be within the 12 months period.
