More on Eniro at enirogroup.com.

During the quarter, a solution was negotiated with the banks and a consortium of shareholders to buy out the banks from the bank agreement. A settlement was reached whereby the banks will sell their claims on Eniro at a substantial discount but with certain additional terms to the independent company Beata Intressenter. At the same time, Eniro reached an agreement with Beata Intressenter to replace the bank loan with a bond loan and, in consequence, will receive additional credit of more than SEK 60 M The bond loan will have an extended maturity in relation to current bank loans and expire without amortization. All interest, 20% for the entire maturity, is paid on the maturity date of the bond. Ordinary shareholders will be offered an opportunity to subscribe to a bond, whereby the bank receivables acquired by Beata Intressenter will be converted into a bond loan.

This entails a substantial improvement for Eniro in terms of both covenants and limitations entailed in the current bank agreement and offers significant liquidity improvements both initially and throughout the period. It also offers the company a respite to enable it to focus on implementing the transformation the company is currently undertaking.

The offer to Eniro's shareholders involves subscribing to a bond that uses the previous bank debt as a receivable on Eniro but at a substantial discount. The bond will expire at the end of 2021 offering an interest rate during the final year of 20%, corresponding to about 6% interest per year for the term to maturity.

The migration to a subscription business is complete in Sweden. Migration in Denmark is scheduled to be largely finalized early in the third quarter. Norway will be complete in the fourth quarter. The sales mission is totally different when customers are subscribers and

Eniro will gain completely new opportunities in terms of additional sales to existing customers and acquiring new customers. This transition in approach requires new skills and new ways of working. Following a tentative start, we are now seeing progress, with every member of the sales team gradually improving their ability to raise the order intake. When communication with customers works, the offering has had a positive reception and business is growing. The challenge now is to gain an insight into the whole customer base and the opportunities Eniro's new business can offer each customer as a result of the transition to the new offering. Order intake and revenue have still not begun to recover, even if the decline is slowing.

The transformation of Eniro will be complete in autumn 2018. From its position as an advertising sales company, with the "Yellow Pages" as its principal product, Eniro will become a company that offers a wide range of digital marketing to the SME segment, an offering that includes the expansive players Google and Facebook, packaged in a simple and accessible manner. Eniro offers both searchability, which characterized Eniro in the past, and active external advertising through banners and Facebook advertisements.

Eniro has the potential to grow through its strong offer. When the transformation is completed, our entire customer base will comprise subscribers and our legacy systems, which were an obstacle to the modernization of Eniro, will have been discontinued.

Operations in B2B, Poland and Finland (Voice) are developing in line with, or better than, our expectations.

In Finland, a highly interesting acquisition took place of Elisa's entire Contact Center operations, representing a very favorable deal that will help to boost sales, earnings and cash flow for Eniro. This acquisition also means our Finnish business will become less dependent on the declining market for number information services.

Operating revenue for the second quarter amounted to SEK 363 M (445), corresponding to a decline of 18% compared with the same period a year ago. EBITDA for the second quarter amounted to SEK 61 M (61). However, the work to reduce the cost base remains successful and the EBITDA margin amounted to 16.8% (13.7%).

An improved financial position, a new offering and a new business model are providing Eniro with good opportunities to turn around many years of declining sales and to participate in the strong performance of the digital marketing segment through a modern, effective offering that can provide our customers with a simple and powerful channel for their marketing resources.

Kista, August 14, 2018

Örjan Frid, President and CEO

Operating revenue for the second quarter amounted to SEK 363 M (445), a decrease of 18%.

Currency effects on revenue were SEK 13 M (13).

Geographically, operating revenue is broken down into Sweden SEK 123 M (166), Norway SEK 87 M (116), Denmark SEK 50 M (74), Finland SEK 51 M (38), and Poland SEK 52 M (51).

Eniro has applied the new accounting standard IFRS 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) as of January 2018.

Eniro has applied a retroactive transition period, with the opening balance established on January 1, 2017 and the comparative year restated in accordance with IFRS 15.

For further information, see Note 1 Accounting Policies.

Digital search includes the Desktop/Mobile search and Complementary digital marketing products revenue categories. Eniro's Desktop/Mobile search services are among the most visited sites in their respective markets and include eniro.se, gulesider.no, krak.dk, dgs.dk and panoramafirm.pl along with the mobile apps, including Eniro's local search app, Eniro Navigation and "Eniro På Sjön". Eniro's sites: proff.se, proff.no and proff.dk contain business information. Eniro's advertisers pay for rankings and exposure on hit lists. In Complementary digital marketing products, Eniro offers, for example, advertising solutions via third-party suppliers such as Google and Bing, display advertising via external networks and website products.

Operating revenue from Digital search amounted to SEK 285 M (339), a decrease of 16%. Of operating revenue, SEK 242 M (295) came from Desktop/Mobile search and SEK 43 M (44) from Complementary digital marketing products.

Eniro's new strategy and business model entail that Eniro will proceed from mainly offering exposure through its own channels to working with its customers' presence in all digital channels. The aim is to become the marketing partner for small and medium-size companies.

The transition to the new strategy of a broadened product offering and subscription-based contracts continues. During the quarter, Sweden, Norway and Denmark collectively passed the milestone of more than 75 % of their customer base changing to the new, broader product offering and to subscription-based contracts.

In the preceding year, Finland initiated sales of digital search under the 0100100 trademark. During the startup, this operation was jointly recognized with Voice. Since the business has grown, it has now been separated and is recognized under digital search. For correct comparison, the segment information for 2017 has been adjusted.

Digital marketing currently accounts for approximately 50% of the media market in Sweden and according to IRM's forecasts for 2018, the expectation is that this will grow further by more than 10%. During Q2 2018, the majority of Eniro's sites had a continued stable traffic trend. Each week, Eniro's sites in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Poland have about eight million unique visitors. This creates favorable conditions for Eniro's future development.

Eniro's new strategy and business model entail that Eniro will proceed from mainly offering exposure through its own channels to working with its customers' presence in all digital channels. The aim is to become the marketing partner for small and medium-size companies. These companies often lack the time and knowledge to be able to market them digitally. By supplementing Eniro's traditional Desktop/Mobile search digital services with "Närvarokollen", a product from our partner Yext, and other partner products such as Google AdWords/Bing Ads in Complementary digital marketing products, Eniro can help the customer to optimize their investment, thereby generating the best possible result.

In addition, the new business model is subscription based. The goal is that the sales staff will be able to increase focus on demonstrating the strength and advantages of Eniro's new offering to both new and existing customers.

During Q2 2018, the customer base trend has remained negative. The total number of customers for "Digital search" in the three Scandinavian countries amounted to approximately 90,000.

The new product offering was well received by our customers. One assumption is that the new, broader product offering, with subscription-based contracts, will have a positive impact on the customer base trend. The first indications of the development of subscription agreements will be evaluated during Q3.

The sales organization has successively been adapted to meet new conditions with a new offering, new business model and a more value-generating approach. The aim is to create greater confidence and loyalty among customers. In this change, it has been necessary to implement several structural changes and we can now face 2018 with a more efficient organization and a focus on growth, competence and customer value.

In "Voice", Eniro offers directory information via phone calls and text messaging (SMS), and certain contact center activities. In Sweden, Eniro is the market leader with its 118 118 directory information service. In addition to this, incoming phone calls are handled for other companies. In Finland, apart from the 0100100 directory information service, Eniro has a contact center operation that provides switchboard services and customer service

on a contract basis. Under the second quarter, Eniro has acquired outsourcing operations in customer service and response services in Finland, thereby strengthening Eniro´s position in the market. In Norway, Eniro is the majority owner of "1880 Nummeropplysningen AS" (the 1880 and 1888 directory information services).

Operating revenue from Voice amounted to SEK 78 M (77), an increase of 1%, as a result of the Finnish acquisition.

Market volumes for directory information services continue to decline in pace with increased digitalization. The contact center operation that Voice conducts on a contract basis for customers in Finland is growing and partly compensating for the decline in directory information services, which is also the case in Sweden to some extent.

A cost saving program, aimed at reducing costs in 2018, was implemented in December 2017. The program continued to generate results during the second quarter of 2018.

EBITDA for the Group was SEK 61 M (61), corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 16.8% (13.7%). EBITDA is broken down as follows: SEK 49 M (78) pertained to Local search, SEK 20 M (6) pertained to Voice, and SEK -8 M (-23) pertained to other Group functions.

The Group's operating expenses, that is, expenses excluding amortization and impairment losses, totaled SEK -303 M (-382), where expenses for the period include SEK 1 M (-27) in items affecting comparability. Of these, SEK 0 M (-4) pertained to restructuring costs and SEK 0 M (-11) pertained to advisory costs mainly concerning Eniro's and SEK 0 M (-12) pertained to costs pursuant to Eniro's loss of a dispute in the arbitration board against Fonecta in Finland After adjustment for items affecting comparability, adjusted EBITDA for the Group amounted to SEK 60 M (88), a decrease of 32%. The adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.5% (19.8%).

After amortization and impairment losses totaling SEK -39 M (-55), consolidated operating income amounted to SEK 22 M (6).

The Group's total amortization amounted to SEK -37 M (-46) during the second quarter of 2018. Amortization of the Gule Sider trademark totaled SEK -15 M (-14) and the amortization of the Krak trademark totaled SEK -3 M (-3).

Considering the decision to discontinue publication of printed directories during 2017, the useful life of the Ditt Distrikt trademark has been changed. The trademark that was fully amortized by end of first quarter 2017, was amortized by SEK -53 M. The remaining amortization of SEK -19 M (-29) consists mainly of amortization of capitalized costs for product development.

As per June 30, a new impairment test of the value of the Group's intangible assets was performed. Considering the expected decline in profitability of the Voice business, the impairment test has been updated quarterly to take the shift in cash flows into account. This resulted in the recognition of impairment in Voice Norway of SEK -2 M (9). Further impairment of goodwill pertaining to Voice is likely as higher cash flows in real time are replaced by lower future cash flows. Eniro's outcome regarding EBITDA is otherwise in line with the forecast that served as the basis for the impairment test, which is why no further need to recognize impairment of goodwill is deemed to exist. Refer also to Note 5.

Net financial items amounted to SEK -11 M (-38). The strong improvement is a result of the reduction in bank debt, combined with a lower interest-rate level. Exchange rate differences affected net financial items by SEK 3 M (-3).

Income before tax amounted to SEK 11 M (-32). Reported tax totaled SEK -24 M (7).

Net income for the period was SEK -13 M (-25). Earnings per ordinary share were SEK -0.21 (-3.89) before and after dilution.

Operating revenue for the amounted to SEK 717 M (877), a decrease of 18%.

Currency effects on revenue were SEK 19 M (25).

Geographically, operating revenue is broken down into Sweden SEK 251 M (331), Norway SEK 179 M (237), Denmark SEK 100 M (134), Finland SEK 85 M (73), and Poland SEK 102 M (102).

Eniro has applied the new accounting standard IFRS 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) as of January 2018.

Eniro has applied a retroactive transition period, with the opening balance established on January 1, 2017 and the comparative year restated in accordance with IFRS 15.

Of these, SEK -1 M (-5) pertained to restructuring costs and SEK 0 M (-17) pertained to advisory costs mainly concerning Eniro's and SEK 0 M (-12) pertained to costs pursuant to Eniro's loss of a dispute in the arbitration board against Fonecta in Finland.

Against the background of the decision to discontinue publication of printed directories during 2017, the useful life of the Ditt Distrikt trademark has been changed.

1) Included in financial assets. SEK 200 M pertains to pledged bank funds for future pension obligations, referred to as an enhanced pension guarantee. The remaining amount pertains to pledged bank funds as a security for leases in Norway and Finland and as guarantee against Volvo Finans.

Total assets in the Group amounted to SEK 3,386 M (3,385), a decrease of 4%.

Intangible assets amounted to SEK 2,625 M (2,609), of which SEK 2,067 M (2,002) pertained to goodwill.

The Group's interest-bearing net debt excluding the convertible bond and pension obligations amounted to SEK 630 M (1,248) as per June 30.

The Group's indebtedness, expressed as interestbearing net debt excluding the convertible bond and pension obligations in relation to EBITDA, was 2.9 (4.2) as of June 30.

As per June 30, the Group's outstanding net debt under existing credit facilities was NOK 199 M (199), DKK 42 M (46) and SEK 626 M (1,242). At the end of the period, Eniro had an unutilized credit facility of SEK 19 M (68). Cash and cash equivalents and unutilized credit facilities amounted to SEK 48 M (107).

The 14% decrease compared with June 30, 2017, is mainly attributable to lower sales, but also to the decision to discontinue the print business.

Cash flow from operating activities was SEK 9 M (4).

Eniro conducts risk analysis in an annual Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) process, covering all parts of the business operations. A detailed description of factors that could affect Eniro's business, financial position and results is provided in the 2017 Annual Report, pages 35- 37.

Other risks and uncertainties in the annual risk analysis that are judged to potentially affect the Group's performance in 2017 are related to high personnel turnover and recruitment difficulties, a negative media image affecting customers, higher competition from global actors in local search, a lack of digital expertise among the sales representatives, difficulties in conveying customer benefit, delays in the ongoing implementation of joint CRM and finance systems and liquidity and financing risks.

The Annual General Meeting on April 25, 2018 resolved in accordance with the Nomination Committee's recommendations to re-elect Board member Joachim Berner and to elect Johnny Sommarlund, Henrik Salwén and Magdalena Bonde as new Board members. The Meeting also resolved to elect Joachim Berner as Chairman of the Board.

Further to the Board's proposal concerning a) the repurchase of preference shares through the acquisition offer, b) the directed new issue of Class A ordinary shares to holders of preference shares, and c) the

directed new issue of Class A ordinary shares to holders of convertibles, the Board has convened an Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on August 15 at 3:00 p.m. in Helio's premises at Kistagången 12 in Kista, Stockholm. Registration for the Meeting will open at 2:00 p.m. Shareholders wishing to attend must be registered in the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB by Thursday, August 9, 2018, and also notify the Company of their intention to attend the Meeting not later than Thursday, August 9, 2018.

Eniro's bank loans to be replace by bond loan

The Board of Directors and some shareholders of Eniro AB (publ) ("Eniro") have drawn up a financing solution essentially entailing that Eniro's current bank loans will be replaced by a bond loan, and Eniro will simultaneously receive a liquidity injection.

The bonds will initially be subscribed for by Tedde Jeansson through Beata Intressenter AB ("Beata Intressenter") and thereafter offered primarily to Eniro's ordinary shareholders. The bonds will be offered at a substantial discount (approximately 32.87 per cent of the bond loan's nominal value). The discount is made possible by Beata Intressenter's agreement with Eniro's lending banks to purchase the bank loans at a discount. The bond is guaranteed by a guarantee consortium.

The financing solution entails that all of Eniro's current bank loans, with a nominal value of SEK 925 million, will be converted into a bond loan with no negative effects on liquidity in the form of repayment or coupon payments until the end of 2021, supplemented with additional financing of approximately SEK 63.75 million. Combined with a possible agreement with the Pensions Registration Institute (PRI) regarding secured funds for the company's pension obligations, which is expected to provide Eniro with additional proceeds of approximately SEK 25 million over a period of two years, the best conditions will be created for Eniro to devote its full attention to the company's business in the coming years.

The Board of Eniro also proposes the Extraordinary General Meeting on August 15, to renew the conversion offerings to holders of preference shares or convertible bonds respectively, enabling them to convert their instruments into Class A ordinary shares and thereby participate in the new financing solution by also being able to purchase bonds with priority from Beata Intressenter.

Eniro will publish a prospectus relating to the conversion offerings on August 17 and a prospectus relating to the bond offering on September 3.

This six-month report has been reviewed by our auditors.

The information in this report is such that Eniro AB (publ) is obligated to disclose pursuant to EU Market Abuse Regulation. This information was submitted for

publication, by agency of the contact persons below, at 8:30 CET on August 14, 2018.

FINANCIAL CALENDAR Interim report Jan-Sep 2018 October 30, 2018 Year-end report 2018 February 2019

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Eniro AB corporate identity number 556588-0936, as of June 30, 2018, and the sixmonth period then ended. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The

procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.

This quarterly report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34. The term "IFRS" in this document comprises the application of IAS and IFRS, as well as the interpretation of these recommendations as published by the IASB's Standards Interpretation Committee (SIC) and the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). The application of the accounting policies corresponds with those contained in the Annual Report for the financial year ended December 31, 2016 and should be read in combination with these.

There is no significant difference between IFRSs applicable on December 31, 2017, and IFRSs as adopted by the EU. None of the new or amended standards and interpretations as introduced from January 1, 2017, had any material impact on the company's financial statements.

Eniro's sales commission meets the criteria to be recognized as contract costs, since they are costs that Eniro would not have incurred if the contract had not been secured. The amortization period initially adopted was 12 months; the amortization period will be reviewed regularly.

Eniro recognizes Work in progress for both Print and Online products. Work in progress for Online products does not meet the criteria for comprising a Contract Cost in accordance with IFRS 15.

Eniro is applying a retroactive transition method, with an opening balance established on January 1, 2017 and the comparative year restated in accordance with IFRS 15.

Since Eniro's customers pay for certain services in advance, some of Eniro's contracts contain a financing component. Eniro has chosen to apply the practical exception and not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a financing component because the period between the transfer of service and payment is one year or less. (IFRS 15p 63).

The retroactive application of IFRS 15 in Q1 2017, has in the Income Statement resulted in improved Operating Revenue of SEK 2 M, deduced Operating Expense of SEK -3 M which gave a positive impact on operating Profit Before Tax of SEK 5 M and reduced Tax expense of SEK -6 M which gave a total improvement of Net Income of SEK 11 M. The application of IFRS 15 in Q1 2017, has in the Balance Sheet resulted in an increase of Work I Progress with SEK 23 M, increased Deferred Tax Assets net of SEK 37 M, a negative effect on Shareholder´s Equity, Closing Balance of SEK -89 M, increased Prepaid Revenues of SEK 137 M and increased Staff Accruals of 11 MSEK. The total effect has affected the segment Local Search only.

The difference in relation to the preliminary estimate (-75) derives from the effects of deferred tax.

The application of IFRS 15 in Q1 2017, has in the Income Statement resulted in improved Operating Revenue of SEK 2 M, which distributed among the following markets:

The complete version of IFRS 9 replaces most of the guidance contained in IAS 39. IFRS 9 updates classification, recognition and impairment testing of financial assets, and places new requirements in the application of hedge accounting. The Group will apply IFRS 9 retroactively as of the required application date, January 1, 2018, and will not restate comparative information.

The transition to IFRS 9 is estimated to have only a marginal impact on the Group's financial position.

Eniro reports its financial results distributed among the Local search and Voice business areas. Local search has cross-border functions for Products & Technology (formerly Digital Solutions), Sales and Marketing (formerly Nordic Sales), Human Resources, and Finance. The Voice business area is governed separately and is not an integrated part of the function-based organization.

Taxes

Earnings per share before dilution are calculated as income for the period attributable to owners of the Parent Company less the set dividend on preference shares for the period, divided by the average number of ordinary shares, excluding treasury shares, before dilution and adjusted for bonus issue effect on new issue.

In calculating earnings per share after dilution, the average number of shares is adjusted for the effects of the potential dilution of ordinary shares associated with the convertible bond and the warrant program. This entails that earnings per share after dilution are calculated by dividing income for the period attributable to owners of the Parent Company plus interest expense after tax pertaining to the convertible loan, less the set dividend on preference shares for the period, by the average number of ordinary shares, excluding treasury shares, after full conversion and adjusted for bonus issue effect on new issue.

In the impairment testing, a determination is made as to whether a need to recognize impairment exists by comparing the cash-generating unit's carrying amount, including goodwill and other consolidated surplus value, with the recoverable amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down to the recoverable amount.

Eniro's lowest cash-generating units consist of the operating segments per country, i.e., Local search and Voice, which corresponds to the monitoring that is conducted in both the internal and external reporting. The recoverable amount consists of the value in use. A discount rate before tax has been determined for the respective cash-generating units.

As per June 30, a new impairment test was performed. The test was based on the new business model presented to the Board in December 2017. Eniro has assessed that the market in 2018 will accept the new business model and that growth in Local Search will subsequently gain momentum in the 2019-2021 period, thereafter falling to 2 percent in perpetual growth in 2022. Furthermore in the test for the years following 2018, Eniro has assessed the new business model to be scalable and that the EBITDA margin will increase in pace with growth in sales. Sales growth and scalability constitute material assessments in the impairment test and, should the future outcome deviate from these assessments, the impairment of intangible assets cannot be ruled out.

Against the background of the expected decline in profitability of the Voice business, the impairment test has been updated quarterly to take the shift in cash flows into account. This resulted in the recognition of impairment in Voice Norway of SEK -2 M (-9). Further impairment of goodwill pertaining to Voice is likely, as higher cash flows in real time are replaced by lower future cash flows. Eniro's outcome regarding EBITDA is otherwise in line with the forecast that served as the basis for the impairment test, which is why no further need to recognize impairment of goodwill is deemed to exist.

Eniro's bank loans to be replace by bond loan

The Board of Directors and some shareholders of Eniro AB (publ) ("Eniro") have drawn up a financing solution essentially entailing that Eniro's current bank loans will be replaced by a bond loan, and Eniro will simultaneously receive a liquidity injection.

The bonds will initially be subscribed for by Tedde Jeansson through Beata Intressenter AB ("Beata Intressenter") and thereafter offered primarily to Eniro's ordinary shareholders. The bonds will be offered at a substantial discount (approximately 32.87 per cent of the bond loan's nominal value). The discount is made possible by Beata Intressenter's agreement with Eniro's lending banks to purchase the bank loans at a discount. The bond is guaranteed by a guarantee consortium

The financing solution entails that all of Eniro's current bank loans, with a nominal value of SEK 925 million, will be converted into a bond loan with no negative effects on liquidity in the form of repayment or coupon payments until the end of 2021, supplemented with additional financing of approximately SEK 63.75 million. Combined with a possible agreement with the PRI Pensionsgaranti (PRI) regarding secured funds for the company's pension obligations, which is expected to provide Eniro with additional proceeds of approximately SEK 25 million over a period of two years, the best conditions will be created for Eniro to devote its full attention to the company's business in the coming years.

The Board of Eniro also proposes the Extraordinary General Meeting on August 15, to renew the conversion offerings to holders of preference shares or convertible bonds respectively, enabling them to convert their instruments into Class A ordinary shares and thereby participate in the new financing solution by also being able to purchase bonds with priority from Beata Intressenter.

Eniro will publish a prospectus relating to the conversion offerings on August 17 and a prospectus relating to the bond offering on September 3.

Eniro presents certain financial measures that are not defined in IFRS. Eniro believes that these measures provide valuable, complementary information to investors and to company management, as they enable assessment of Group's earnings and financial position. Since not all companies calculate financial measures in the same way, these are not always comparable with measures used by other companies. These financial measures shall therefore not be regarded as a substitute for the measures defined in IFRS.
