Eniro’s EBITDA for 2015 expected to be lower than issued forecast


EBITDA for 2015 is expected to be lower than the previously communicated
forecast of EBITDA in line with 2014 (SEK 631 M). Eniro continues to meet its
obligations to banks and other creditors. Eniro is not issuing any new, detailed
forecast other than that EBITDA for 2015 is expected to be lower than SEK 631 M.
As a result of the lower level of anticipated EBITDA, the Board of Directors has
decided to recognize impairment of intangible assets in the range of SEK 1.1 –
1.2 billion in 2015. In connection with the interim report for the second
quarter of 2015, a detailed breakdown of the impairment losses among countries
and operations will be provided. Eniro continues to meet its obligations to
banks and other creditors. The company is not issuing any new, detailed forecast
for 2015 other than that EBITDA for 2015 is expected to be lower than SEK 631 M.

Following the turbulence during the past autumn, Eniro is in full force with
transforming the company and its business model. This work is being conducted
with full intensity, but has initially generated a lesser direct effect than
anticipated. As a result, Eniro’s sales performance was weaker during the first
four months of the year than expected. Following this transformation work and
the uncertainty around it, it is not possible to issue a new detailed forecast
for 2015.

“Naturally, it is disappointing that we do not expect to be able to deliver
earnings at the level indicated in the previously issued forecast,” comments
Stefan Kercza, President and CEO of Eniro. “However, this is a major
transformation that we are conducting of the business, and there is always the
risk of a company initially being affected and sales performing worse than
planned.

“I am convinced that we are carrying out the right measures to make Eniro
competitive in our delivery as a leader in local, digital search and mobile
search. We are now working intensively in all of our operations to meet our
customers’ and the market’s expectations.”

Eniro has in connection herewith decided to change and reduce the management
team. The CFO Roland M Andersen will leave the company and Maria Åkrans has been
appointed acting CFO, currently Head of Group Business Control. The Head of
Communication Christer Lundin will also leave the company.
