Comment from Anders Nilsson, CEO, Com Hem

“Delivering on the plan”

Our business reported strong growth in the second quarter supported by the
inclusion of Phonera’s B2B operations from March 31. Total revenue was up more
than 8% compared to corresponding quarter last year, with consumer revenue
increasing by more than 2%. Our strong momentum within broadband continues with
an all-time high number of broadband RGUs. We have also sucessfully returned our
digital-television business to RGU growth, reaching an important milestone with
more than 100,000 TiVo customers and further strengthening the product with 38
new channels added to TiVoToGo™. Our TiVo customers now have over 100 channels
available on several devices.

1)  Net result for the period excluding one-off costs associated with the IPO
and refinancing of debt, adjusted for income tax, divided by the number of
shares after the issuance of new shares and exercise of the over- allotment
option. For further information see Q2 interim report.
