Per cent changes are adjusted for changes in exchange rates Acting CEO Matthias Stadelmeyer’s comments on the second quarter 2014 “Net sales have continued to decrease and have resulted in lower market share in the second quarter. Underlying gross profit declined in line with the trend from the previous quarter. The restructure launched at the end of last year is progressing according to plan and is still expected to reduce costs by SEK 55 M on an annual basis, with full impact from the second half of 2014. We are focusing on generating profitable revenues and increasing operational efficiency. As mentioned in the previous interim report, several projects are running in parallel with the overall objective of improving operational performance, freeing up time for increased client facing activities and streamlining internal processes. We are also reviewing the company’s strategy. I see substantial potential for improvements and I am content with the progress that has been made so far. Nevertheless it will take time until we see the financial impact of these efforts. Our solid financial position, active owners and dedicated personnel as well as our strong product offering and large pan-European network of advertisers and publishers give us a good foundation to take advantage of an interesting and rapidly changing European market for performance marketing.“ Presentation This interim report will be presented at a teleconference on the 25th of July 2014 at 10.00 a.m. CET.
