CEO’S COMMENTS

The year began with a strong first quarter for Nobina. Net sales increased by
11.5 per cent and the underlying profit before tax was SEK 86 million (61) for
the period. Profit-drivers included good performance in our newly started
contracts, generally good price negotiations with our suppliers, and the fact
that we are no longer paying interest expenses on earlier bonds. Nobina is
therefore celebrating one year as a listed company by living up to what we
believe is important: providing good and profitable public transport.

A resolution was adopted at Nobina’s annual general meeting held on 31 May 2016
to pay a dividend of SEK 2.60 per share and the company’s financial targets were
also confirmed. We have met our commitment on dividend policy and made our first
dividend payment in June.

Nobina is currently in a period of major traffic starts and contract
terminations, among other things in the Stockholm area where we are currently
preparing the operations for increased volumes in Södertälje and Kallhäll. In
addition, work is underway on the new Helsinki contract, under which traffic
will commence under new contract conditions on the same day as the old contract
expires. Preparations are proceeding according to plan and we look forward to a
continued incremental increase in efficiency and volumes in Nobina’s young
contract portfolio.

At the beginning of June it was announced that Nobina had won two new contracts
– one in Oslo and one in Lund. It is pleasing to note that both contracts were
won based on quality rather than price, and that the buses will run on renewable
fuel, a factor which benefits sustainable development.
