Greater focus on profitability and on growth in Asia 

“Times are challenging and there is considerable financial unease, but they are
also very exciting. Cybercom is entering a new business phase with our current
serious focus on growth in Asia. We are satisfied that we established Cybercom's
international expansion strategy early on. We follow our customers around the
world and have a global presence that boosts our delivery capacity. Our Nordic
operation forms a strong platform. We see favourable opportunities in the east,
in terms of the local market and to strengthen deliveries. Our presence in India
and China makes us suitably positioned for existing and new customers, who we
know will invest heavily in these areas in the near future. We have won three
important new outsourcing assignments for our operations in China, India, and
Romania, which reiterates Cybercom's strategy.

We greatly respect that our customers are introducing savings packages. Although
these have no direct impact on our order flow at present, we want to ensure that
we are appropriately equipped to face a tougher market, and we are therefore
implementing various measures. We are coordinating administration and sales
organisation in several Swedish units, streamlining our operation, and cutting
the recruitment pace in the Nordics. The sale of the UK business was also a very
good deal. 

The prevailing market situation opens many doors for Cybercom's global sourcing
proposition. Cybercom combines local presence with global delivery capacity,
keeping business-critical operations close to the customer, while relocating
parts of production to low-cost countries. Many of our customers are market
leaders and are now concentrating their investments on service development to
cement their competitive strength. Such investments benefit Cybercom. 

Cybercom is aptly positioned and we will continue to build the company in the
long term in line with our strategy for growth, primarily in Asia and Eastern
Europe. We look to the future with confidence.”
