Comments from the President and CEO

Our top-line growth continued to improve in the third quarter, with revenue
increasing by 11.7% compared to the same quarter last year. The lion’s share of
the increase stems from organic growth – driven both by the winning of new
clients and by higher volumes with our installed client base – while currency
effects contributed 4.8 percentage points to overall growth. Whereas revenue
fell in the CMS business, all our regions managed to deliver growth, with the
North, North America & Asia Pacific and South regions contributing most to the
increase. I am confident that we can sustain this momentum for the rest of the
year and beyond, as we continue to invest in developing our client relationships
and our delivery capability.

EBITA in the third quarter was €2.2 million, compared to an underlying EBITA of
€3.9 million in Q311. This performance should be viewed in the context of
significant expansion costs during the quarter, amounting to €3.3 million,
primarily in the Philippines. Revenue associated with these costs will gradually
be ramped up in the coming months. Transcom’s total headcount increased by 1,100
this quarter, to 27,100 people. In order to deliver against contracted volumes,
we will continue to expand headcount for the remainder of the year.

To further align our cost base to current business conditions, and to
concentrate the focus of our central support teams, we will restructure our
corporate organization. These actions will reduce overhead costs by
approximately €1.9 million on an annual basis, with full effect from 2013.
Restructuring costs amounting to approximately €1.7 million will impact our Q412
results.

This quarterly report reflects previously announced changes in Transcom’s
segment reporting structure, namely that our operations in Credit Management
Services (CMS) are now managed as a separate business unit. In addition, the
Baltic countries now form part of the North region rather than the Central
Europe region. The reorganization has triggered a change in the distribution of
goodwill. Transcom is therefore assessing the possible impact on goodwill
carrying values during the fourth quarter.
