From the CEO – Light at the end of the tunnel

Poolia's revenues from continuing operations amounted to SEK 179.2 million in
the fourth quarter, a decline of SEK 3.0 million (1.6%) compared with the fourth
quarter of 2013. Operating profit for the same period was SEK 1.0 (-0.8)
million.

Revenues for the Swedish business were SEK 126.1 (141.2) million, which
corresponds to 70% of the Group's revenues for the quarter. Operating
profit/loss for Sweden was SEK -2.3 (-3.0) million. The fourth quarter is
Sweden's second-best quarter of the year in terms of revenue. Overall, the
proportion of unplaced resource temps continues to fall, although it is still
too high in some parts of the business. Poolia Sweden incurred restructuring
costs of SEK 2.0 million during the quarter (SEK 7.4 million for the full year).

Poolia's German business continues to develop well. Revenues totalled SEK 40.3
(30.5) million, an increase of 32%, while operating profit was SEK 2.9 (1.3)
million, an increase of 122%. The fourth quarter is normally the industry’s
weakest quarter in Germany as a large proportion of holidays are taken around
Christmas.

Our Finnish operations also reported a good fourth quarter. Growth compared with
the fourth quarter of the previous year was 22%. Operating profit, SEK 0.4
million, is still some way from an acceptable level.

Poolia Group's revenues from continuing operations declined by SEK 28.5 million
(3.9%) during 2014.

Operating profit for the year amounted to SEK 5.6 (2.4) million, with an
operating margin of 0.8% (0.3%). Cash flow from operations for the full year was
SEK 13.3 (-2.4) million. The Group's liquidity is good.

Poolia made many decisions and made changes in terms of the overall strategic
direction, organisation, and marketing and sales during 2014 – and these efforts
are beginning to bear fruit. During autumn and winter, we won contracts with a
number of well-known companies and organisations with the potential to become
major clients. The savings programme aimed at reducing annual costs by SEK 15
million was implemented during the year. The full effect will be achieved from
the second quarter of 2015.

The last place that improvement work is seen is the income statement. We
continue resolutely and purposefully towards getting Poolia back in growth mode
with good profitability.
