Strong profitability in a steadier market

For the third quarter, sales totalled SEK 328.8 million (372.7) with an
EBITDA of SEK 35.0 million (34.1), leaving a 10.6% margin (9.1). We
strengthened our profitability by streamlining our efficiency. Third
quarter performance was characterized by the same activity and positive
spirit that we noticed in the early part of the year. Although slowdown
and uncertainty prevailed on the market and for Cybercom in April and
May, the same effect has not been apparent in the third quarter. In a
steadier market, I see good potential going forward.

The business situation has improved for all of our subsidiaries. I am
pleased to note that our Singapore operation again is showing strong
profitability. Further, we also successfully navigated the difficult
market situation in southern Sweden. Today there is an upward trend with
new customers and improved profitability. We have an expansion challenge
- we have started recruiting in all urban regions and are returning to
net growth.

This quarter we have worked to create a single, strong organisation in
Sweden.  With a contnued focus on profitability, we are constructing an
international Cybercom with a global structure designed for long-term,
profitable and sustainable business.
