JANNE MIELCK, CEO

Our net sales grew strongly throughout 2012 and we saw the growth in net sales accelerating towards the end of the year. In the fourth quarter of 2012, our net sales grew 36% compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. Project Personnel, our biggest business area, increased its net sales by 37% and Consulting by 27%. Geographically, our net sales grew most strongly in Norway and Australia.

Our operating result in the last quarter of 2012 was EUR 0.6 million. In the second half of 2012, our operating result was affected by investments in business operations and development across the Group.

In 2012, our net sales grew by 28%. Project Personnel increased its net sales by 28% and Consulting by 32% from 2011. Again, geographically our net sales grew most strongly in Norway and Australia.

The Group's comparable operating result in 2012 was EUR 3.4 million, which was approx. EUR 0.7 million and 28% higher than in 2011. Despite strong growth in net sales, our net cash flow from operations has increased.

In the first half of 2012, we acquired a minority share in SaraRasa Biomass Pte., a renewable energy project developer based in Singapore, and invested in SaraRasa Bioindo Pte. Ltd., which is the company's first development project. The project is progressing according to plan. In the third quarter of 2012, SaraRasa Bioindo agreed a financing round with the Finnish Fund for Industrial Cooperation (Finnfund), which also became a shareholder in the company.

In the third quarter of 2012, our Consulting business area expanded its operations into the renewable energy market. Initially, the business area focuses specifically on projects in bio-renewables in Europe and South East Asia. The move is part of the business area's current operations and for its part strengthens our ability to operate in a new, growing market sector.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, we signed a new global frame agreement with a customer, which is one of the world's largest publicly traded oil and gas companies as well as currently one of the Group's two main customers. The frame agreement is valid for five years.

At the end of the year, Dovre Group received a notice for a call of option to acquire Safran Software Solutions AS, previously part of the Group's Software business area. The completion of the sales process is estimated to take place during spring 2013. In case the transaction is completed, the expected consideration for the shares in on the level of EUR 5 million.

Organizational changes in the Group that were announced in the first half of 2012 have strengthened our business areas. We continue our work to improve our operations in accordance with our new strategy.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

General economic insecurity has not affected investment levels among Project Personnel business area's customers in the Oil and Gas industry and we expect demand for the business area's services to remain strong in key market areas. Market demand supports opportunities for growth, but the competitive market creates pressure on profitability.

Current market outlook in the Nordic countries, an important market for the Group's Consulting business area, is positive, although uncertainty in the export industry in Finland and Sweden may affect customers' investment levels. In 2012, the business area expanded its operations into the renewable energy sector in Europe and South East Asia and continues its expansion in these two key market areas.

We will continue developing the Group in accordance with our strategy, which was released on January 25, 2013.

In 2013, net sales and operating result are expected to grow from 2012. Guidance for 2013 applies to the Group's continuing operations.

This future outlook is based on forecasts approved by Dovre Group's Board of Directors.

SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The success of the Project Personnel business area is influenced by the energy sector market as well as investment levels in the Oil and Gas industry. The business area expands its business to new geographical market areas. Growth in new market areas requires investments and includes risks. The business area's identified main risks are maintaining its overall competitiveness, profitability, and its key resources in an ever more competitive market environment. Project Personnel business is project-based by nature, thus adding an element of uncertainty to forecasting.

The Oil and Gas industry in general involves risks, and single projects may experience delays or accidents. Such situations may affect the operating result of the Project Personnel business area. Dovre Group is responsible for the work performed by its consultants. However, the company has no overall responsibility for project deliveries.

Current market outlook in the Nordic countries, an important market for the Group's Consulting business area, is positive, although uncertainty in the export industry in Finland and Sweden may affect customers' investment levels. The business area is expanding its business in the renewable energy market. Growth in a new market area requires investments and includes risks. Project delivery involves risks which are due to both customers and the Group's own personnel.

Dovre Group has two major customers, each of which accounts for more than 10% of the Group's net sales. The Group has extensive delivery agreements with these clients and is thus dependent on its key customers and the long-term frame agreements signed with them.

Dovre Group has invested in a new company SaraRasa Bioindo Pte. Ltd. The build-up phase involves a number of risks, including, for example, organizational set-up, construction of production capacity, legal and regulatory issues, and commercial agreements, especially feedstock purchase and end-product sale agreements. As the company's main operations are located in Indonesia, the company is exposed to high political risk.

The Group's reporting currency is the euro. The Group's most important functional currencies are the Canadian dollar, the Norwegian crown, and the US dollar. Currency fluctuations can affect the company's net sales. Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies can also result in foreign exchange gains or losses. The Group is hedging its currency positions.

OTHER EVENTS DURING THE FINANCIAL YEAR

On October 29, 2012, Dovre Group Plc announced that the Group had secured a global frame agreement with a customer, which is one of the world's largest publicly traded oil and gas companies as well as currently one of the Group's two main customers. The frame agreement is valid for five years. Dovre Group was selected as one of a limited number of suppliers to provide professional services to the customer.

On December 28, 2012, Dovre Group Plc announced that the company had received a notice from SNA Holding AS to call its option to acquire the entire share capital of Dovre Group's fully-owned Norwegian subsidiary Safran Software Solutions AS. The option is based on an agreement signed between Dovre Group Plc and SNA Holding AS in 2009. The completion of the sales process, including contract negotiations and due diligence, is estimated to take place during spring 2013. In case the transaction is completed, the expected consideration for the shares in on the level of EUR 5 million.

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES

The interim report has been prepared in line with IAS 34 and the same accounting principles have been applied as in the 2011 financial statements.

Changes to comparatives for 2011

In the fourth quarter of 2012, Dovre Group harmonized the presentation of expense reimbursements received from customers in the income statement across Group companies. The Group has reclassified comparatives for 2011 as well as previously reported quarters in 2012 in accordance with the requirements of IAS 1. As a result of the reclassification, the Group's net sales and other expenses in 2011 grew by EUR 4.7 million. The reclassification did not affect the Group's operating result. The Group announced the reclassification in December 2012. In addition, having received a notice for a call of option to acquire Safran Software Solutions AS in the fourth quarter of 2012, the Group has changed comparatives for 2011 in accordance with IFRS 5. As of the fourth quarter of 2012, Safran Software Solutions, previously part of the Group's Software business area, is reported under discontinued operations. As part of the change of the Group's reporting structure, the Group no longer allocates the parent company's certain intra-Group charges to segments.
