Comments from President and CEO Tomas Carlsson:

– The underlying profit in the fourth quarter is strong and especially Vectura
contributes positively to the development. Underlying EBITA was SEK 230 million,
compared to SEK 201 million previous year. Operating profit was charged with
integration costs for Vectura and the impairment of intangible assets in Eastern
Europe.

– The acquisition of Vectura exceeds our initial expectations. The synergies are
expected to be greater, integration costs lower and impact on profit realised
sooner. Vectura is fully integrated with Sweco Sweden as of 1 January 2014. We
are a Nordic market leader, with the strongest service offering for the
infrastructure of the future.

– The market remains essentially unchanged, with major geographic variations.
The Norwegian market is strong, and the market in Sweden and the construction
market in Finland are stable. The industrial market in Finland and large parts
of Eastern Europe remain challenging. Sweco operations in Eastern Europe are
therefore being restructured and the Group repositioned to capture the market in
Central Europe.
