"Timing and place feels right to change leadership and for me to step into a new position."
Through our expansion in recent years we have attained a strong position in the Nordic countries as well as internationally. The acquisition of the British company Symetri in 2014 and the German company Transcat PLM in 2015 have given us a solid European base for our continued growth in industrial IT. This broader geographical spread is unleashing new potential for business' and collaborations with major international customers. A prime example is the contract we signed after the end of the quarter with Stadler, the Swiss train manufacturer. In the public sector, too, we are winning new deals that are a testimony to both our quality and prestige. During the quarter we obtained clearance following an appeal process to sign an agreement with the City of Gothenburg for a new planning system for the city's home care operations. We also secured a deal with a major government agency in the defense and security sector, where we will implement our case management software.
We achieved growth of 19 per cent for the nine-month period, driven by organic growth as well as acquisitions. Both net sales and EBITA for the third quarter were level with the corresponding period a year ago. As previously communicated, we have shifted to a new business model in our subsidiary Symetri from a licence-based sales model to one that is now entirely subscription-based. In the near term this transition is affecting both sales and earnings, however, over time the change will provide us with a higher share of recurring revenue and greater stability in our business. Taking these factors into account we had a good quarter.
We are seeing steady growth in revenue from our proprietary products, and during the third quarter we acquired another two software companies that strengthen us in the area of case management. Every day we evaluate acquisition candidates, and to ensure that we can take advantage of every opportunity, we have secured an additional acquisition credit facility worth SEK 200 m. By successively evaluating, acquiring and developing companies in our two core businesses, we are moving forward at a steady pace.
For 23 years I have been active within the company. In 1994 I paved the ground to Addnode Group's largest business of today and the last ten years I have been the President and CEO for a Nasdaq listed company. We have built a solid and profitable Group with a turnover of more than two billion SEK. Timing and place feels right to change leadership and for me to step into a new position. Current CFO in the Group, Johan Andersson, will overtake my responsibilities as President and CEO from AGM 2017 and I am proposed to the position as Chairman of the Board of Directors. I will continue to be a driving force in overall strategic questions and remain an active part in acquisition processes - becauase we are far from finished building the Group.
Breakdown of growth and net sales, Q3 2013 - Q3 2016, SEK m
Recurring revenue pertains to support and maintenance, which also includes revenues from SaaS solutions.
EssVision is a Swedish software company that provides IT solutions for document and case management to municipalities, authorities and companies. The acquisition strengthens our portfolio of case management products especially for municipalities. The company had sales of SEK 13 m in the 2015 financial year, with an operating margin of 17 per cent. Possession was transferred on 1 July 2016, and the company is part of the Process Management business area. The acquisition is expected to have a marginally positive impact on Addnode Group's earnings per share.
Pharmasolutions AS specialises in business-critical software applications in the e-health and pharmacy areas in the Norwegian market. IT deliveries to the Norwegian pharmacy market amounted to approximately NOK 500 m in 2015, and demand is expected to grow further in pace with growing digitalisation in the e-health field. The company has signed strategic business partnerships with Canella AB and EY Norway, ensuring that both product development and the service delivery organisation will be in place from the onset. Pharmasolutions is part of the Process Management business area.
Stamford is a Swedish software company that provides IT solutions for property companies and companies in the retail and specialty retail segments. The company had sales of SEK 31 m in the 2015 financial year, with an operating profit of SEK 5.8 m and an operating margin of 19 per cent. Possession was transferred on 1 September 2016, and the company is part of the Process Management business area. Stamford's operations are being combined with the Addnode Group subsidiary Prosilia and will conducted under the Stamford brand. The acquisition is expected to have a marginally positive impact on Addnode Group's earnings per share.
In March 2016 Kartena, a subsidiary in the Process Management business area, won a contract award decision from the City of Gothenburg to provide IT support for planning, implementation and monitoring of operations for the City of Gothenburg, with an order value of approximately SEK 35 m. The decision was appealed several times. The Administrative Court of Appeal has now ruled that permission will not be granted for continued requests for appeal.
Ida Infront, a subsidiary in the Process Management business area, has signed a new agreement with a major government agency in the defence and security sector. The agreement covers implementation of iipax software and support for five years with an option to extend the agreement for an additional two years. The initial order value, excluding the option, is approximately SEK 5 m.
TechniaTranscat, a subsidiary in the Product Lifecycle Management business area, has signed a new agreement with Stadler, covering a system for managing the company's product data information. The agreement covers implementation of a platform, more than 2,000 user licences, and TechniaTranscat's proprietary software and services.
In addition to its existing credit facilities, Addnode Group has secured a new acquisition credit facility with Nordea worth SEK 200 m. The facility has a term of four years and can be drawn from gradually.
The Board of Director's has appointed Johan Andersson, current CFO of Addnode Group, to new President and CEO from AGM 2017. Johan Andersson succeeds Staffan Hanstorp, who has lead the company since 2007. Addnode Group's Nominating Committee has prosposed Staffan Hanstorp as the new Chairman of the Board.
Net sales amounted to SEK 467.1 m (467.3). For comparable units net sales decreased two per cent compared with the corresponding period a year ago. Software revenue (licences) totalled SEK 72 m (76), revenue from support and maintenance agreements totalled SEK 240 m (241), service revenue grew to SEK 146 m (140), and other revenue totalled SEK 8 m (9). EBITA was SEK 39.6 m (42.2), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 8.5 per cent (9.0).
The Design Management business area had lower net sales and earnings, which is explained by the changed business model from licence to subscription sales. Our proprietary Interaxo software continues to be used by a growing number of users in the Norwegian market, and demand is good from the Swedish construction and infrastructure sectors.
The Product Lifecycle Management business area had good sales of proprietary software and services, which had a positive impact on the EBITA margin.
The Process Management business area posted growth of 9 per cent in the third quarter compared with the same quarter a year ago. We continue to secure new agreements and have carried

EBITA by business area, share during the quarter, %2)
Addnode Group has two core businesses and is organised in four business areas. We are a leading European provider of software and services for design, construction and product data information, and a leading provider of document and case management systems to public sector clients in Sweden and Norway. For more information about the respective business areas, please visit the company's website: www.addnodegroup.com.
IT solutions for design and construction.
Net sales amounted to SEK 156.0 m (161.7) in the third quarter. EBITA was SEK 9.1 m (13.1), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 5.8 per cent (8.1). The decrease in net sales and earnings is explained by the changed business model moving from licenses to
subscription-based sales. Demand from customers in the construction and property sectors in Sweden and Norway remains good. Interaxo, our proprietary software for project management of construction and infrastructure projects, has gained an increased number of users. Demand from customers in the oil and gas sector in Norway and the UK continues to be affected by the adaptation to lower oil prices.
The business area secured agreements with such customers as Akademiska Hus, Atos IT Services, DeepOcean, Frontica Business Solutions, Hille Melbye Arkitektter, Marintek, Martela, Riksdagsförvaltningen and Trans Adriatic Pipeline.
IT solutions for document and case management.
Net sales amounted to SEK 100.4 m (92.5) in the third quarter, an increase of 9 per cent. EBITA was SEK 18.0 m (18.2), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 17.9 per cent (19.7). Excluding acquired units, organic growth was two per cent. The level of activity was high
in the business area, and the number of public procurement processes is at a favourable level. We have secured several contracts, including with a major government agency in the defence and security sector, to provide our proprietary iipax software for case management. An appeal of the contract award decision in Gothenburg with an order value of approximately SEK 35 m has been denied, and we can now sign an agreement with the customer and begin the project.
The business area secured agreements from such customers as NFC, Norwegian Institute of Public Health, Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, Swedish National Heritage Board, the city of Gothenburg, the city of Malmö, the city of Stockholm, The municipality of Norrtälje and the Swedish Police.
IT solutions for product data information.
Net sales amounted to SEK 186.1 m (186.6) in the third quarter. EBITA increased to SEK 17.3 m (15.9), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 9.3 per cent (8.5). We had good development of proprietary product sales, which improved EBITA margin. The Nordic
countries, Germany and the USA all contributed to the improved margin. The acquisition of the German company Transcat in 2015 was a step towards attaining a European platform and ability to serve global companies. The order from the Swiss train manufacturer Stadler for a PLM system is proof that this strategy is right. The agreement covers implementation, more than 2,000 user licences for Dassault Systèmes' software, and our own software and services.
The business area secured agreements with such customers as AKVA Group, Honeywell Turbo Technologies, GFi, Dräxlmaier, Mölnlycke Health Care, Husqvarna, PSW automotive engineering, Geberit and Stadler Rail.
IT solutions for web and e-commerce, telecom as well as voice-driven and customer services.
Net sales amounted to SEK 29.5 m (29.4) m in the third quarter, and EBITA was SEK 1.2 m (1.5), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 4.1 per cent (5.1). Net sales were level with the corresponding period a year ago. We are working continuously to adapt the business area's service offering to market
demand. The business area's telecom unit has experienced a high level of activity and has conducted numerous prospecting meetings and secured a number of agreements.
The business area secured agreements from such customers as Blocket, DNB, Sodexo, Swedegas, Swedish Energy Agency, the Swedish Consumers' Banking and Finance Bureau, TDC Sweden and ZeroChaos.

Annika Viklund Member of the Board Thord Wilkne Member of the Board Staffan Hanstorp President & CEO
We have reviewed this interim financial information in summary (interim report) report for Addnode Group Aktiebolag (publ), as per 30 September 2016, and the nine-month period then ended. The board of directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this 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 practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion based on an audit.
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 Annual Accounts Act for the Group, and in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act for the Parent Company.

Guidelines for information about Alternative Performance Measures (APM) for companies with securities listed on a regulated market within EU have been issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) and shall be applied for alternative performance measures in published compulsory information from July 3, 2016 and onwards. Alternative performance measures refer to financial measures regarding historical or future development of result, financial position, financial result or cash-flow which are not defined or stated in applicable rules for financial reporting. In the interim-report, some performance measures are used, which are not defined in IFRS, with the purpose to give investors, analysts and other interested parties clear-out and relevant information about the company's operations and idevelopment. The use of these performance measures and reconciliation to the financial statements is presented below. Definitions are stated on page 18.
EBITA is a measure which the group consider as relevant for investors, analysts and other interested parties in order to understand the development of the result before investments in intangible fixed assets. The measure is an expression for operating profit before depreciation and write-downs of intangible fixed assets.
