Eniro had come to the same conclusion as the Disciplinary Committee with respect to the incorrect accounting. With respect to the adjustment of the fullyear forecast, the Disciplinary Committee noted that the company did not knowingly publish an incorrect forecast, and that the matter was more of a judgment issue.

Events after the end of the reporting period

• Board member Staffan Persson is leaving the Board for personal reasons.

I am not satisfied with our result for the second quarter. While the conditions have been challenging, I know that we can do better. What's gratifying is that our users like what we are doing. We have approximately 8 million unique browsers on our sites every week, and traffic grew 7% over the preceding quarter. In pace with driving traffic, we increase the value of our customers' investments.

During the quarter we focused on our transformation work in the operations at the same time that we worked on strengthening our positions in the geographic markets and among our customers. To improve financial governance of operations, the company also carried out a management change in the finance organization. The quarter was thus – driven by the ongoing transformation work and management change – affected by restructuring costs and severance pay totaling SEK 47 M, which was charged against EBITDA. Following completed impairment testing, we have recognized SEK 1,111 M in impairment of goodwill, which is in line with the estimate given at the end of May.

During the autumn of 2014 a transformation process was initiated, starting with a comprehensive review of the company and resulting in a new, flatter, and more efficient organizational structure. Essentially all restructuring costs

have been realized, which will result in lower operating costs of SEK 25 M in 2015, with a full-year effect of SEK 120 M. While we now have an operational organization that better supports our digital business, a number of our processes and systems have lagged behind. Our mature and highly profitable Voice and Print businesses have established, effective and

well working staffing structures and highly developed sales support, and due to this,

"We now have an operational organization that better supports our digital business"

the mature segments have good profitability. This way of working is now being adapted to our digital business. Print has long been run separately, and since May, greater focus has been put on Voice to ensure optimal administration.

Print exceeded expectations during both the quarter and for the first half of the year. The Voice business remains stable and increased its profitability by 12% compared with the preceding quarter. As long as these mature businesses continue to generate cash they will be important for Eniro.

Sweden accounts for 43% of Eniro's revenue and must perform considerably better in order for the entire Group to do well. Revenues have stabilized and were par with the preceding quarter, and the level of activity has been high. We have a new CEO for the Swedish organization, a new management team, a number of new sales managers, and a stronger sales organization. Together these measures boost our confidence as we move into the second half of the year. During the period we improved our sales processes and have further clarified our contractual terms, among other measures, and we decided to add customer satisfaction as a further parameter in the sales associates' commission models. I am convinced that these measures will make an impact and that we will gradually see better results in Sweden during the year.

Our Polish business grew 7% during the first half of the year. We continue to penetrate the Polish market with new partnerships and services – most recently with the integrated booking vertical Panorama Hoteli. The Polish operation is combining growth with high quality. As proof of this, during the quarter we received a distinction as "Best search engine for companies, products and services."

Despite a tough start to 2015 we are beginning to see some stability. We now have all management positions filled, with country managers installed in Sweden and Denmark, an acting unit manager in Norway and an acting CFO. In Denmark we have a dozen or so pilot projects under way.

Both the Norwegian and Danish operations were stabilized during the quarter compared with the preceding quarter, and they have been streamlined with continued focus on improved sales effectiveness.

We are continuing our work on strengthening our mobile position in Local search. In June we launched a new user interface for our apps, and Eniro Navigation was awarded as Best Navigation App by WiseGuide.

The financial search vertical Proff, which has been conducted in a separate organization since May, has been refined with the goal of driving growth in all markets. During the first half of the year we saw strong growth in the user base for this search service.

The business has regained some stability, and now the work remains on building up confidence especially in the Swedish organization. We have several matters remaining to tick off on our list of measures, which will entail continued long work days. We know that we have taken several steps in the right direction, and this knowledge gives us strength to continue our hard work toward the overall goal of strengthening our position as a leading search company in the media industry.

This resulted in the issuance of a profit warning on May 20, 2015. The impairment testing resulted in recognition of an impairment loss of SEK 1,111 M (0) for goodwill, of which SEK 646 M (0) is attributable to Local search in Norway, SEK 360 M (0) is attributable to Voice in Sweden, and SEK 105 M (0) is attributable to Voice in Finland.

Earnings and cash flow for the first half of 2015, and financial position

Other earnings items

Operating income for the first half of 2015 amounted to SEK -1,136 M (240). Net financial items amounted to SEK -70 M (-100). Exchange rate differences had a positive impact on net financial items by SEK 8 M (-21). Income before tax for the period was SEK -1,206 M (140). Earnings per common share before dilution were SEK -6.81 (0.80).

Taxes

The reported tax cost for the first half of the year was SEK -6 M (-34). The effective tax rate was 0.5% (24.3%).

Eniro's taxes are paid primarily in the first half of the year. Accordingly, paid taxes are low during the second half of the year. As a result of substantial tax-loss carry forwards in Sweden, Denmark and Finland, Eniro is expected to have low tax payments in the years immediately ahead.

Investments

Eniro's net investments in operations totaled SEK 47 M (74) during the first six months of the year.

Cash flow

Operating cash flow amounted to SEK -43 M (121) for the first half of the year. Compared with the first half of 2014, operating cash flow was affected mainly by lower underlying income from operations. Operating cash flow was also affected by cash flow from financial items in the net amount of SEK -92 M (-70). Lower interest payments were countered by SEK 40 M (0) in transaction costs and fees to banks for renegotiated loan agreements and the convertible loan. The change in working capital was SEK -21 M (9) for the first half of the year.

Cash flow from financing activities totaled SEK 63 M (-155) and was positively affected by the new issue and issuance

of the convertible loan, totaling SEK 933 M. The proceeds from the new issue are reported in the cash flow statement net after deducting SEK 28 M in transaction costs. During the first half of the year, amortization of bank loans totaled SEK 813 M, of which SEK 670 M pertained to a lumpsum amortization of bank loans in connection with the renegotiated loan agreement.

Financial position

During the first quarter Eniro renegotiated its loan agreement with the bank consortium, which was conditional upon completion of a rights issue of SEK 458 M and a convertible bond issue in the nominal amount of SEK 500 M. The convertible bonds were issued at 5% below the nominal amount, or SEK 475 M, entailing that the loan is SEK 25 M higher than the proceeds received by Eniro. The issues were registered during the second quarter and raised approximately SEK 933 M before transaction costs. Of this infusion, on April 24 a lump-sum amortization of SEK 670 M was paid towards the Group's bank loans, and SEK 185 M was used to strengthen Eniro's liquidity position. Transaction costs amounted to SEK 78 M, including bank fees.

In connection with the lump-sum loan amortization, the renegotiated loan agreement took effect. It thereafter consists of three tranches with a conversion value of SEK 1,850 M. Tranche A is broken down into three currencies. Tranche A1 amounts to SEK 761 M, tranche A2 amounts to NOK 250 M, and tranche A3 amounts to DKK 50 M, with a conversion value of SEK 1,100 M. Tranche B is worth SEK 600 M, and the bank overdraft facility amounts to SEK 150 M.

The terms of the renegotiated loan agreement entail an extension of the loan period through 2018. The covenants are the same as in the previous agreement, including the

definition of indebtedness, which only includes the bank loans, i.e., the convertible loan are not included. The amortization schedule has been changed, and scheduled amortization in 2015 will amount to approximately SEK 150 M, and the first semi-annual payment was made in June. Annual amortization during the years 2016–2018 will amount to approximately SEK 175 M (semi-annual payment).

As per June 30, the Group's outstanding debt under existing credit facilities amounts to NOK 233 M, DKK 47 M, and SEK 1,309 M. At the end of the period Eniro had an unutilized credit facility of SEK 113 M. Cash and cash equivalents, and unutilized credit facilities, totaled SEK 195 M.

In accordance with IFRS, initially SEK 380 M of the convertible loan is reported as debt and SEK 95 M as equity. During the second quarter, 39 convertibles were converted to shares, which corresponds to 8% of the original convertible loan of nominal SEK 500 M. Thus the nominal value of the convertible loan was SEK 461 M as per June 30. As per June 30, SEK 345 M of the convertible loan was reported as debt and SEK 122 M was reported as equity. The change is explained in part by the effective interest rate during the period and in part by the conversion to shares.

The Group's interest-bearing net debt, excluding the convertible loan, amounted to SEK 1,345 M (2,232) as per June 30, compared with SEK 2,208 M on December 31, 2014. The Group's indebtedness, expressed as interestbearing net debt excluding the convertible loan in relation to EBITDA, was 3.4 as per June 30, 2015, compared with 3.0 on June 30, 2014.

Eniro has credit insurance with PRI Pensionsgaranti (PRI) which remains in force through 2015. Eniro has pledged bank funds for future obligations (a so-called enhanced pension guarantee). In March 2015 Eniro pledged an additional SEK 10 M, entailing that total pledged funds amount to SEK 133 M including the return.

Shares and treasury shares

Eniro has two classes of stock: common shares and preference shares. As a result of a new issue, the number of common shares increased by 305,642,220 in April. During the second quarter, the number of common shares increased by 19,999,997 through conversion of 39 convertibles.

Other information

Dividend policy

The company prioritizes a reduction in net debt over payment of a dividend.

Eniro's preference shares are entitled to an annual dividend of SEK 48 per share.

Publication dates

Revenues from sales of printed directors are recognized when the various directories are published. Changed publication dates can therefore affect comparisons. The table below shows the planned distribution among quarters and markets in 2015. The net effect on operating revenue in 2015 compared with 2014 is expected to be negative, by SEK -36 M. As a result of the structural decline in the market for printed products, revenue for these directories will be lower in 2015.

Notes to the consolidated accounts

Note 1 Accounting policies as from 2015

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and IFRIC interpretations, as endorsed by the European Union (EU). A detailed description of the accounting policies applied by Eniro can be found in the 2014 Annual Report, Note 1, with the exception of the policy for recognizing revenue for sales of websites, which has been changed as from 2015, and the policy for reporting convertible loans. The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

Eniro has made a retrospective restatement of comparative information in accordance with IAS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. This entails that the financial statements presented as comparative information in this interim report have been adjusted retrospectively for the errors that have been identified.

Revenue from sales of websites

Revenue from sales of websites is recognized in its entirety on a linear basis over the subscription period, in contrast with the previous policy in which a portion was recognized upon delivery of the website to the customer. The reason for the change is that websites are no longer delivered to customers and cannot be hosted by any other party than Eniro.

Reporting of convertible loan

According to IFRS, a convertible loan is a compound financial instrument that gives rise to a financial liability for Eniro and an option for the holders of the instrument to convert the liability to common shares in Eniro. Holders of the instrument are entitled to a 6% coupon.

This means that the convertible loan is initially recognized as a liability and an equity instrument. The liability is recognized initially at fair value, which entails that the liability is discounted to present value using an effective interest rate that is to reflect the market interest rate. Eniro has applied an effective rate of 13%. The equity instrument is initially valued as the difference between the proceeds received and the fair value of the liability. Over time, the effective interest will be charged against income and increase the liability, until the equity is the same level as previously. Upon conversion to common shares, the liability and equity instrument will decrease by the percentage portion of the loan that is converted.

Note 2 Risks and uncertainties

Eniro conducts risk analysis in an annual Enterprise Risk Management process, covering all parts of the business operations.

A detailed description of factors that could affect Eniro's business operations, financial position and earnings is provided on pages 34-37 of the 2014 Annual Report. The principal risks and uncertainties that were considered to have a potential impact on the Group's performance in 2014 were related to low employer branding, high personnel turnover in the sales organization, limitations posed by the terms of existing loan agreements, greater competition from global actors in local search, and a decrease in traffic in the Desktop search and Mobile search channels.

IMPAIRMENT TESTING OF GOODWILL AND TRADEMARKS WITH INDEFINITE USEFUL LIFE

Against the background of the weak order intake during the second quarter, which resulted in the issuance of a profit warning on May 20, 2015, impairment testing was conducted of the Group's intangible assets with indefinite useful life. Impairment testing is performed to determine if a need to recognize impairment exists by comparing the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit, including goodwill and other surplus value, with the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount consists of utilized value. If the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down to the recoverable amount. Eniro's smallest cash-generating units are operating segments per country, i.e., Local search and Voice, which corresponds to the monitoring that is conducted in both internal and external reporting. A discount rate has been set for the respective cash-generating units.

The impairment testing indicated a need to recognize SEK 1,111 M (0) in impairment loss. Of the impairment loss, SEK 646 M (0) pertained to Local search and SEK 465 M (0) to Voice. The impairment of Local search pertains mainly to impairment of goodwill attributable to the acquisition of the Norwegian company Findexa in 2005. Of the goodwill impairment in Voice, SEK 360 M pertains to Sweden and SEK 105 M to Finland.
