15 per cent growth and a doubling in earnings

STRONG START TO 2017

We got off to a strong start to the year and have laid a solid foundation for 2017. Growth during the first quarter was 15 per cent, of which 11 per cent was for comparable units. We doubled our earnings compared with the same quarter a year ago, and our recurring revenue continues to grow and reached 55 per cent of net sales. Cash flow from operations is following our historical pattern and was very strong compared with our reported earnings, owing to that fact that a large share of our annual maintenance agreements are paid in advance.

GOOD GROWTH AND IMPROVED EARNINGS IN ALL THREE BUSINESS AREAS

All three business areas are showing good growth and improved earnings compared with the same quarter a year ago. The Design Management business area has good underlying growth and achieved sales growth of 9 per cent and improved earnings despite the shift from a licence-based to a subscription-based sales model. The Product Lifecycle Management business area posted growth of 12 per cent and improved its earnings. The Process Management business area grew 27 per cent, partly driven by acquisitions, and doubled its earnings.

CONTINUED EUROPEAN EXPANSION

We have continued our European expansion with the acquisition of the Dutch company infostrait, which will be TechniaTranscat's operation in the Benelux region (Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg). The acquisition is in line with our successful strategy of growing by acquiring high quality value-added retailers of Dassault Systèmes software in selected geographic areas, where we can create value for customers in new markets by providing our own expertise and proprietary software.

MEGATRENDS POINT TO ADDNODE GROUP

We see great business opportunities emerging in pace with the megatrends and challenges in the world around us, such as urbanisation and the emergence of smart cities, digitalisation

and automation of industry, ageing populations with increased care solutions, and the need for everyone to contribute to sustainable development. With our software and services we can help our customers meet the demands that a changing world is putting on them.

OUR STRATEGY IS FIRM

Our strategy of offering niche software and services, decentralised leadership and acquisition-driven growth is successful. We are well positioned for continued growth and to improve our margins going forward. After ten years as CEO, I have been proposed by the Nomination Committee to serve as the new Chairman of the Board and look forward to working with Johan Andersson as he steps into his new role as President and CEO of Addnode Group.

Staffan Hanstorp, President and CEO

Earnings distribution, Q1 2014 – Q1 2017, SEK M

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2017

Framework agreement with Swedish Prosecution Authority – order value SEK 80 m

Decerno, a company in the Process Management business area, has won a tender – as the sole vendor – from the Swedish Prosecution Authority for a framework agreement for system development services. Decerno has an existing framework agreement with the Prosecution Authority and has developed a custom-tailored case management system for the authority. The new framework agreement is valid for four years and is expected to generate net sales of approximately SEK 20 m annually, for a total of SEK 80 m over the contract period.

Acquisition of Dutch company infostrait

Infostrait is a Dutch PLM specialist and Dassault Systèmes partner, with net sales of SEK 25 m. The company will be part of TechniaTranscat in the PLM business area and will be consolidated in Addnode Group's accounts as from April 2017.

Board of Directors proposes unchanged dividend of SEK 2.25 per share

Helena Nathhorst hired as CFO of Addnode Group

Addnode Group moved up from Small Cap to Mid Cap segment on Nasdaq Stockholm

CONSOLIDATED NET SALES AND EARNINGS

First quarter, January–March 2017

Net sales amounted to SEK 620.7 m (540.8), an increase of 15 per cent. The increase for comparable units was 11 per cent. Software revenue (licences) totalled SEK 60 m (75), recurring revenue increased to SEK 343 m (280), service revenue increased to SEK 200 m (167), and other revenue totalled SEK 18 m (18). The decrease in sales of licences and increase in recurring revenue compared with the corresponding quarter a year ago is mainly explained by the ongoing shift from a licence-based to a subscription-based business model in the Design Management business area. Recurring revenue also increased in the other business areas. EBITA was SEK 53.6 m (30.6), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 8.6 per cent (5.7).

The Design Management business area's sales growth of 9 per cent and improved earnings can be credited to strong demand from customers and a favourable revenue mix, with a growing share of sales of services and proprietary products, which countered the effects during the quarter of the ongoing shift from a licence-based to a subscription-based business model.

The Product Lifecycle Management business area had stable demand and growth of 12 per cent, which led to improved earnings compared with the same quarter a year ago. The Process Management business area posted growth of 27 per cent compared with the same quarter a year ago, of which 13 per cent for comparable units, and doubled its EBITA. The general business climate for the business area is favourable, especially for its case management and system development offerings.

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 179.5 m (150.2). The strong cash flow is mainly the result of a large share of maintenance agreements being paid in advance during the quarter. Net financial items amounted to SEK -1.2 m (-1.4), Reported tax on profit for the period was SEK -8.5 m (-4.1), and profit after tax was SEK 27.1 m (12.7). Earnings per share after dilution were SEK 0.89 (0.42).
