Hans-Holger Albrecht, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “The
fourth quarter and full year results set new Group records - both in terms of
revenues and profitability. We broke through the SEK 2 billion Group operating
profit level for the first time, following a 12% rise in sales. Taken together
with an operating margin of 23% for our Viasat Broadcasting business, these
results demonstrate that we are on track with our strategic goals. The core
Scandinavian markets have performed well, with our investments in existing and
new channels paying off in increased audience and market shares, whilst the
development of our Eastern European assets has accelerated during the year to
deliver 26% sales growth and contribute 42% of Group operating profits. We have
therefore further extended our penetration of the highest growth media markets
in Europe, and are a more international broadcasting group than ever.

Our strategy remains clear - making our content and channels as broadly
available as possible, and continuing to expand our footprint and reach. At the
same time, we have continued the discipline of disposing of non-core or
underperforming businesses and strictly managing our capital allocations, which
yielded a record 34% return on average capital employed for the full year.
MTG ended the year in a net cash position even after the payment of a SEK 503
million dividend and the investment of SEK 307 million in buying back our own
shares. We generated SEK 930 million of operating free cash flow during 2007 and
had liquid funds of SEK 3.7 billion at the year end. The Board will therefore
propose an ordinary dividend of SEK 5 per share and an extraordinary dividend of
SEK 10 per share to this year's AGM. The Board is committed to maintaining a
flexible capital structure, in order to balance the availability of funds for
investment in the further expansion of the Group's operations with the delivery
of enhanced shareholder returns.  The Board will therefore also seek shareholder
authorisation for the potential buying-back of up to 10% of the Group's shares
over the twelve month period following the AGM in May.”
