CEO’s comments Increased sales, improved margins and a new market In the second quarter, we noted growth of 10 percent, we improved our margins and we opened up a new geographic market through the acquisition of Symetri in the UK. Although the market remains cautious, demand is nevertheless stable in most areas. The prevailing macroeconomic climate has resulted in some restraint in the willingness to invest of our customers active in more capital-intensive industries, such as oil and gas, maritime industry and the construction sector. Consequently, order bookings were slightly weaker in the Design Management business area. Despite this, we are experiencing growth that is both organic and originating from previously implemented acquisitions. In general, we are involved in several favorable transactions and have a solid underlying business strengthened by the fact that the proportion of recurring revenue from support and maintenance agreements, as well as from SaaS solutions, is increasing. The profitability improvement is attributable to increased sales, as well as efficiency enhancements and cost adaptations in operations, primarily in the PLM and Content Management business areas. We are continuing to execute our strategy, which involves building in our selected areas of operation brick by brick. The acquisition of Symetri is in line with our strategy, in which we aim to expand an existing business area into a new geographic market. We are busy transferring our product portfolio, our service offering and our sales models for customers with global operations. Symetri gains us a foothold in a market that is expected to become one of Europe’s most rapidly expanding economies in 2014.
