Changed margin forecast for 2007

Changed margin forecast for 2007

IBS will not reach its margin forecast for full-year 2007. The revision is based
on an assessment made by the Board of Directors and management of the effects of
increased costs combined with lower license revenue during the first five months
of the year, compared with the year-earlier period.

During the first five months of the year, IBS' costs were higher than planned.
The cost deviations were mainly related to personnel. Planned restructuring
measures, pertaining mainly to a consolidation of offices and off-shoring of
parts of customer related programming and product development, have been
implemented at a lower-than-expected pace, which means that the favorable
effects on costs of such actions will not impact on earnings for 2007 to the
extent required to achieve the previously announced earnings forecast of an
operating margin of approximately 7% for the full-year 2007. 

The Board of Directors and management will during the following weeks analyze
and plan possible measures to accelerate the restructuring program further. The
conclusions of this work will be presented in the interim report for the period
January-June that will be published on July 19, 2007. 

IBS' long-term financial objective of an operating margin of at least 10% stands
firm.
