President & CEO’s comments

An Olympic quarter
The highlight of the quarter was our coverage in Sweden of the Sochi Winter
Olympics. This was the most watched winter Olympics and most successful for the
Swedish team ever, and we showed every single minute for the first time ever. We
achieved record free-TV audience shares of 60% in Sweden during the games and
the subscriber intake at Viaplay reached new all-time high levels.

Continued growth in volatile markets
We delivered 13% constant FX sales growth as the investments that we made last
year accelerated our development. This was driven by a mix of organic growth in
almost all of our businesses and the acquisition of key new businesses such as
Nice Entertainment. Advertising market growth levels remain volatile across our
11 free-TV markets, but we expect to increase our audience and market shares in
almost all territories in 2014. We are however running against tough comparisons
in the Czech Republic in particular, following the exceptionally high levels of
growth in 2013. We continue to see healthy subscriber growth levels in both our
Nordic and emerging market pay-TV businesses and reported higher year on year
profits for both businesses. Overall Group profitability levels reflected the
investments that we have made in the Olympics coverage, new channels in Norway
and Tanzania and our Group wide digital ventures, as well as the seasonality of
our now much larger content production business.

In terms of outlook, we continue to expect a higher Nordic pay-TV operating
margin in 2014 given the positive sales and profit momentum that we are seeing.
At the same time, we are carefully monitoring the effects of the geopolitical
situation in Ukraine but we remain committed to our investments and operations
in the region given the substantial market opportunity and our well-established
business positions. Based on current exchange rates, we would not expect an
increase in pay-TV emerging markets profits in 2014 at this stage.

Building momentum
We have merged Viaplay and MTGx to create a leading digital entertainment
powerhouse that can drive and benefit from the ever increasing levels of online
video consumption. Our goal is clear – to be the leading digital entertainment
house in each of our markets, which we will achieve through our organic
development and acquisitions. I am also excited about the new pan-Scandinavian
multi-platform content deal that we have signed with Sony Pictures, because it
is the first of its kind, demonstrates the benefit of our integrated structure,
and is another example of how we are shaping the future of entertainment with
our partners and for our customers. We simply want to make fantastic content,
channels and services available as broadly as possible, which is why we have
also signed new long term deals with a wide range of third party operators.

We are balancing organic investments with cash returns to shareholders and
maintaining the flexibility to acquire attractive businesses. We ended the
quarter with SEK 6.3 billion of available liquid funds, a 0.4 times ratio of net
debt to trailing twelve month EBITDA, and are proposing our highest ever cash
dividend. So we are well-positioned to continue to invest in the growth of the
business, in order to drive future earnings and returns.

President & Chief Executive Officer

“Next up is our planned acquisition of 75% of Trace - one of the leading youth
entertainment brands in Africa and present in 160 countries worldwide”
