Improved profitability – continued measures to reverse trend in digital revenue


I am happy to report that our efficiency improvement measures are having an
effect. The EBITDA margin is now 27% (14.7%). We work hard to carry out a number
of measures to reverse the trend in our digital revenue. During the past quarter
we launched our advertising subscription service and renewed our reseller
agreement with Google in Sweden. We have also intensified our measures to
strengthen the customer base. We have continued high traffic to our search
sites, with more than 8.1 million visitors every week.

Working with revenue-enhancing as well as efficiency-improvement measures is the
key to capitalizing on the favorable position we have in the growing market for
local digital search.
Adjusted EBITDA up 14%

We see that our efficiency improvement measures are having an effect. Adjusted
EBITDA improved by 14% during the quarter, to SEK 119 M. The adjusted EBITDA
margin was 23.6%. EBITDA also improved, by 46%, to SEK 136 M.

Sales during the first quarter decreased by 20% to SEK 504 M. Revenue still
needs to be improved, but we are seeing a slight recovery in order bookings.
Compared with the fourth quarter of 2015, sales decreased by 13%. Revenue from
Desktop/Mobile search amounted to SEK 356 M. Compared with the fourth quarter of
2015, this represents an increase of just under 3%.

Since we are striving to offer customers attractive, comprehensive digital
market solutions, it is gratifying to note that average revenue per customer has
increased somewhat. In our Swedish core business, eniro.se, average revenue per
customer grew 3%. We are seeing the same tendency for the first contracts signed
in our pilot launch of subscription advertising.
