“We started the year with a record quarter and are now following it up with
another good quarter. We are growing and have a very strong cash flow and are
also both pleased and proud that so many wants to work at and with HiQ,” says
President and CEO Lars Stugemo.

No matter where we are, today it is a given that it should be possible to stream
high-quality TV images live via mobile phones and tablets. Similarly, we shop
and do our banking via mobile devices while riding the bus on the way home from
work. HiQ is a leader in finding mobility solutions - a field that has an impact
on all market segments where HiQ operates.

In the quarter, HiQ wins several assignments strengthening our position in
already strong areas as telecom, the automotive industry and mobile payments.
The assignments are in the forefront of technology and innovation.

“The economy in the Nordic region, HiQ’s main market, continues to be relatively
strong. Generally speaking, even if it varies from regions and market segments,
demand from our clients is good. We are the company that strives to provide that
“crucial extra” and together with our successful and innovative customers, we
look forward to an exciting autumn,” concludes Lars Stugemo.
