Anders Lidbeck, President and CEO comments:

“Our operating margin for the second quarter was 21.9 percent. Once again we
have set a record for profitability, this time for the second quarter. Never
before has Enea had a better margin or greater earnings per share in the second
quarter of a year. This is the fifth consecutive quarter with an improved
operating profit year over year.

It is also encouraging that we during the second quarter achieved a double digit
revenue growth for our Global Services operation over the same period last year.
This is the third quarter of sequential revenue growth, but it is the first time
in six quarters we again achieve revenue growth year over year. We have won a
range of major contracts in this line of business over the past few quarters, in
both the US and Europe, which are now in full delivery mode. Our aim is to
continue expanding this business, and we think that we are well positioned in
our niche.

Revenue from our software business remained stable throughout the first six
months of the year, with a small increase in the first quarter and a
corresponding decrease in the second quarter compared with the same periods last
year. Our growth in this field is largely dependent on growth in royalty
revenues from our major customers. We saw no major increase in these revenues
during the second quarter due to weaker sales than anticipated among some of our
major customers in the first quarter. However, our software business continues
to develop with good gross margins and is making a strong contribution to the
company’s overall operating profit. Our market position has also continued to
develop well, as have ongoing discussions on new contracts, and we enter the
second half year cautiously optimistic.

We are the leading independent supplier of built-in operating system solutions
in a world in which our competitors are becoming ever more vertically integrated
and hence linked directly with specific kinds of hardware. We are continuing to
focus on the ARM architecture, but we also benefit from our freedom as an
independent software supplier. One specific example of this is the release of
Enea Linux which took place during the quarter, as Enea Linux 4.0 supports
hardware from a number of different suppliers, based on ARM, PowerPC and the x86
architecture. We are continuing to invest heavily in product development in
order to continue improving our competitiveness. 22.6 percent of our revenues in
the second quarter was reinvested in R&D, and we released a number of new
products over the period. The second quarter was special as we launched new
versions of all our major products – OSE5, Enea Linux and Element –
simultaneously during one and the same quarter. We also finalized some
completely new solutions, such as the OSE Compatibility Platform, which allows
users to integrate OSE applications and Linux applications within a single
system. This platform will be a key component for developing our business with
existing customers and also enhancing our Linux range at the same time. To
further strengthen our presence in the world of Linux, we also announced a
strategic cooperation with the Linux Foundation during the quarter. As one of
four selected global partners, we will be providing the Linux Foundation’s
portfolio of training in the Embedded Linux field.

The changes made to the sales and marketing organization in the US, which were
implemented at the start of the second quarter, have developed well. We have
also recruited a new manager for the Asian sales organization, and this person
will start at the end of the third quarter. We will also be increasing our sales
resources on the European market in the third quarter. We will continue to
gradually strengthen our sales and marketing organization with the ambition to
increase the growth rates long term, but without creating a negative impact on
our operating margins short term.

We continue our efforts to improve growth and high profitability. Our aim is to
consolidate a 20 percent operating margin and deliver revenue growth year over
year.

We continue to be prepared for ongoing soft demand, but maintain our forecast
for the year. Our estimate for the full year 2014 is that earnings per share
will be improved compared with the previous year.”
