The Group operating revenue was MNOK 259.1 (307.1) in the fourth quarter. For the year, operating revenue was MNOK 951.5 (1120.2). StrongPoint's revenue is influenced by ongoing projects, and may vary considerably from quarter to quarter.
The decline in the quarter and the year, was primarily due to decreased activity in Proprietary Technologies in Norway (Cash Management) and Sweden (Cash Security). These two markets had very high activity previous year, driven by new banknotes in Norway, as well as a larger Swedish Cash Security customer who increased the security of its value transport by switching from a competing supplier to StrongPoint. EMEA is becoming an increasingly important market, and the process of strengthening the distribution network and sales resources in selected European markets is ongoing. In addition, we see a lot of exciting opportunities for our e-commerce solution Click & Collect. The value chain was further strengthened in the quarter by the acquisition of Cub Business Systems AB's software solutions and expertise in e-commerce.
Operating revenue per quarter (MNOK)
Service revenue consist of installation revenue and monthly service and license fees. Together with the revenue from Labels, this represents predictable income. For this quarter, these revenues represented 46 per cent of the total revenue
Service revenues have declined last year, as a result of major upgrading projects in Norway and Sweden in 2015 and 2016.

EBITDA was MNOK 20.9 (30.9) in the fourth quarter. For the year, EBITDA was MNOK 52.4 (111.7). The decline is mainly a result of the decreased activity after completion of two specific projects within Proprietary Technologies Retail, mainly in Norway, and Proprietary Technologies Cash Security in Sweden.
There is continuous focus on streamlining operations. The total number of FTEs is reduced, despite the increase in EMEA staffing. Payroll expenses are down by MNOK 10 on a yearly basis.
Profit before tax (EBT) was MNOK 10.8 (23.1) in the fourth quarter. For the year 2017, EBT was MNOK 14.2 (79.2).

Proprietary Technology – Retail, focuses on four regions, Norway, Sweden, EMEA/APAC and the Baltic/Russia. The Baltic/Russian region currently has a marginal turnover in this business area, but we have high expectations for this region in the years to come. Especially within Click & Collect.
The upgrade and replacement project of existing Cash Management solutions, to handle new banknotes in Norway, was largely completed during the first quarter. The rest of the year has had low activity within Cash Management. The
inhouse-developed solutions within Self-checkout and Click & Collect are being presented to potential retail customers.
In the fourth quarter, a new supplier agreement with Rema 1000 was entered into. The agreement concerns Cash Management, Select & Collect and electronic price labels, as well as installation and other related services.
In the fourth quarter a framework agreement was signed with Utkonos. Utkonos is a leading e-commerce business in Russia without physical stores. The company offers 24/7 deliveries to all districts in Moscow, as well as the nearby regions. The frame agreement includes an intended delivery of 2 000 StrongPoint Click & Collect locker solutions based on StrongPoint/Utkonos joint innovations during the next five years. The first order of 25 systems was received in June. 5 systems are installed and the following 20 will be installed continuously.
RIMI Lithuania and Coop Estonia continues the installation of Self-checkout solutions, consisting of StrongPoints proprietary software and hardware from a third-party supplier.
In the fourth quarter, the first contract for implementing CUB Pick & Collect solutions was signed in Estonia. Expected installation in the second quarter 2018.

Operating revenue 12 month rolling
The development in the priority markets outside Norway/Sweden are very positive. EMEA accounted for 74 per cent of all Cash Management deliveries in the fourth quarter. The development in the Spanish market is particularly strong.
In the third quarter, four Cash Management systems were installed at Travis Perkins' new store concept "BUILT" in the UK. Travis Perkins is the UK's largest builders' merchanting and home improvement retailing.
In the third quarter, StrongPoint delivered 50 Cash Management systems to our partner in Australia. StrongPoint still sees a potential for its solutions in selected markets in Asia, and has during the year worked actively and focused on market development in this region.
The rollout of Cash Management systems to Alimerka's 170 stores was completed during the second quarter. The solutions are sold as a service, which gives stable income over the next 4 to 5 years. The StrongPoint team in Spain increased by 7 service employees following the acquisition of the business of Link Informatica Technologica. These will perform aftermarket services for the growing customer base in this important market.

The business area has stable service revenues from the installed base of CIT and ATM products. Product sales, on the other hand, are based on negotiations and product certifications that may be time consuming. Turnover in this business area fluctuates significantly.

A Baltic grocery chain has entered into a pilot agreement for ESL. The chain has 264 stores in the three Baltic countries.
The framework agreement with Bunnpris for delivery of ESL takes longer time than expected.

The business area has during the quarter, and for the year as a whole, delivered as expected despite the demanding start of merging two plants and moving to new premises in Malmö. Production of labels is capitalintensive and therefore has significant investments in new technology which is depreciated. This means that EBT is an important measurement parameter. EBT increased for the year to MNOK 9.8 (4.2).
The business area is well adapted to today's market situation with efficient work processes, modern technology and new efficient premises.
Cash flow from operational activities in the fourth quarter was MNOK 20.7 (82.8). For the year, cash flow from operational activities was MNOK 26.8 (163.3).
Disposable funds were MNOK 54.3 per December 31, 2017.
The net interest bearing debt decreased by MNOK 17.5 compared with the end of the third quarter and totaled MNOK 51.4.
