Árni Pétur Jónsson, CEO of Teymi
"Our main task in the first quarter of Teymi's existence was to finalise the separation from our predecessors as well as refinancing the company, sale of property, integration of different segments and restructuring in order to sharpen the focus of our operations. Therefore, it is our opinion that the company's EBIDTA results in this first quarter are acceptable.  The fluctuation of the ISK proved to be difficult for our operations as the exchange rate index rose significantly in the quarter influencing the company's income statement. However, due to the current exchange rate of the ISK these effects have now receded. We also decided that the impairment of our investment in the associate Hands holding hf. should exceed the calculated share of loss and depreciation of the shares' premium by ISK 300 million. 

The year 2007, being the first whole operating year of the company, is exciting. There are many things in the pipeline in telecommunications and IT services. The Group's employees have put a lot of time and effort into preparing the company for new challenges, in order to increase our market share and improve our profitability."

The decrease in the IT segment's EBITDA is mainly due to the departure of the US Armed Forces from the Keflavik base, impairment of inventories etc.  Otherwise the EBIDTA amounts and ratios between quarters are stable or growing, taking into consideration the inevitable seasonal fluctuations in the individual segments' operating environment.
