Anders Lidbeck, President and CEO comments:

“We have improved our operating margin in every quarter of 2013. We achieved an
operating margin of 21.6 percent over the third quarter, which is also better
than our long-term profitability target of 20 percent. This is the second
consecutive quarter in which we have exceeded our target. Enea has shown that it
is possible to create high profit margins despite a weak market. This is due to
organizational and structural changes implemented over the last 24 months. We
now have an efficient organization with a lot of flexibility, and we focus on
areas offering high profitability. This has allowed us to maintain a high level
of investment in research and development.

The market in which we operate continues to be very exciting. We are seeing a
massive increase in numbers of connected devices and data traffic on mobile
networks, but there is great price pressure. Manufacturers of telecom equipment
is challenged with operators wanting to increase capacity while they at the same
time has difficulties charging for their services. For Enea the result is fewer
new customer projects which is balanced by an increase in installations of
network equipment. In all, this resulted in an increase in software related
income over the third quarter compared with the period last year. Service income
decreased with app. 30 percent over the third quarter. Enea has seen declining
service revenues during a number of quarters, especially on the American market
where general reduction in government funding have had an impact on Enea’s
customers’ projects. One third of the service revenue is dependent on defense
projects financed within the scope of the American state budget. We are also
seeing challenges in terms of software sales on the American market, albeit to a
lesser extent than we are seeing in respect of services.

The high level of profitability does not mean that Enea is failing to make
important investments. We are constantly investing in both the marketing
organization and product development. For instance, Enea continuously reinvests
about one-third of its software revenue in product development, and this has
resulted in a number of new product releases during the year. OSE is currently
our most popular product, and having a strong product offering is a very
important element of our strategy. Alongside OSE, Linux is our biggest product
development investment. However, it will take some time for our Linux sales to
reach a level which will make it one of our bigger products in net sales terms,
and ongoing investments will be required to achieve this. However, our focus on
Linux has already had a beneficial effect on sales of Enea’s other products and
services.

Within our service organization, we have concluded a number of contracts which
will be very profitable for us in the long term. A leading American defense
company has re-selected Enea as preferred supplier following a major review of
all service suppliers. We were selected as one of more than 30 suppliers
following an evaluation and negotiation process lasting six months. With this
new frame agreement, Enea can continue to do service business worth an estimated
SEK 125 million over three years. Securing a frame agreement and confirming the
customer’s willingness to invest is extremely important to us. We competed with
many larger companies and we managed to be selected without having to compromise
in any significant area. Another important transaction concluded in the service
sector involved a leading American medtech company, which granted us an extended
agreement for the rest of the year in a deal worth SEK 6.9 million. And at the
end of the second quarter, a frame agreement was entered into with a leading
American manufacturer of secure electronic payment solutions. This customer is
expected to develop into one of our three biggest customers in the service
sector over the next few years. However, these new deals will not balance out
the decline we experienced with government-funded projects in 2013 because of
the startup time that will be required for these new projects.

We are continuing to adopt a long-term approach to our biggest customers and our
most important partners in order to extend their use of Enea’s products and
services. Continuing good relations with these players are the most important
factor in securing our future business. With Enea Linux, we have created
opportunities for new discussions on how the communication systems of the future
can be constructed.

We will be continuing our attempts to improve growth and profitability.
Achieving a 20 percent margin during a couple of quarters is good, but the long
-term objective is to be able to deliver a 20 percent operating margin annually.
Enea is prepared to face a market which remains weak, but we are investing and
planning for growth.

We are standing by our outlook for 2013. Even if demand remains weak for the
rest of the year, it is our opinion that we will improve both our operating
margin and earnings per share over the whole year compared with last year.”
