YEAR-END REPORT ORC GROUP HOLDING AB JANUARY 1 – DECEMBER 31, 2014


STABLE FINANCIAL RESULT AND STRATEGIC ACQUISITION OF TBRICKS

  · Operating revenue for the period from October to December 2014 was SEK 101m
(102), a decrease of 1% compared to the same period of 2013. Revenue was also
somewhat higher than in the first three quarters of the year, which is mainly
due to favorable development of the euro and US dollars rates at the end of
2014.

  · Adjusted EBITDA was SEK 44m (39) and adjusted EBITDA-CAPEX was SEK 18m (12).
Operating expenses and CAPEX were somewhat lower than in the corresponding
period of last year, which is mainly explained by lower consulting costs and bad
debt losses. Income for the period was on par with the past three quarters.

  · Operating revenue for the period from January to December 2014 was SEK 396m
(427), a decrease of 7% compared to the same period of 2013 that is mainly due
to continued low activity in the financial markets.

COMMENTS FROM CEO TORBEN MUNCH:
“Orc presents a robust financial result for the fourth quarter, in view of the
continued challenging market conditions across all geographical regions. Revenue
was stable and our strong operating margin was retained. Cost control remains at
the forefront of Orc’s strategic thinking, while we continue to invest in our
world-class product development.

A reflection of the strategy is the acquisition of Tbricks, which was announced
on January 2, 2015. With the addition of the Tbricks’ platform to Orc’s second
-to-none connectivity network and electronic execution platform, we have
extended our position as the leading global solutions provider for options and
futures trading. The identified cost synergies further support the strategic
rationale.

Together, Orc and Tbricks will own the largest development and services team
within trading and electronic execution for exchange traded derivatives. This
will put us in an even better position to cater to the ever-changing market
requirements, for the benefit of all stakeholders.”
