Lasse Lindblad, Group CEO, says:
 “Capinordic is a Scandinavian financial group focusing on high-margin business
areas and profitable customer segments. In Q1 2007 we have maintained focus on
realising our growth strategy, which builds on a combination of acquisitions,
organic growth and strategic alliances. The result of this strategy speaks for
itself - a profit before amortisation, depreciation, impairment and tax for Q1
2007 of DKK 35,924 thousand and an expected profit before amortisation,
depreciation, impairment and tax for 2007 of DKK 150m. 

In 2007 we thus began a number of acquisitions that together support the
Group's future growth strategy in the Group's business areas in the form of
competencies, market shares, customers, assets under management and other
benefits. We are focusing on integrating the companies into the Group so that
we optimise investments and seek to exploit positive synergies. All the
companies are seeing strong growth, and they achieve their earnings targets. We
finance the acquisitions by means of our equity and pay some of the purchase
price in shares. We do so to ensure that the seller is motivated for retaining
the positive development of the acquired company. So far in 2007 we have raised
a cash amount of DKK 390m.”
