  • Total operating revenues amounted to SEK 959 M (966), down 0.7 percent (-24). Organically, revenues declined 8 percent (-13).

  • Eniro completed an extra loan repayment amounting to SEK 158 M
  • Operating cash flow increased by SEK 91 M and amounted to SEK 13 M (-78)

EVENTS DURING THE FIRST QUARTER

FOLLOWING THE CLOSE OF THE PERIOD

The objective of reporting revenue growth as of 2012 has been revised from that of reporting organic revenue growth to that of reporting total revenue growth that also includes the acquisition of De Gule Sider of Denmark. The aim that EBITDA in 2012 will be in line with the 2011 level stands firm.

COMMENTS FROM THE CEO

Eniro improves its earnings compared with the year-earlier period at the same time as the company's financial position continues to strengthen. The trend in online was positive during the quarter.

Eniro's cash flow continued to improve and is contributing to an additional strengthening of the company's financial position. During the quarter, an extra loan repayment of SEK 158 M was completed. During 2012, total repayments of approximately SEK 650 M will be implemented.

The share of digital media revenues (excluding the Voice business) in relation to total operating revenues continues to increase and amounted to 77 percent at the end of the quarter (73). For the first time in many years, Eniro's total revenues are in line with the yearearlier period. The comprehensive work that has been conducted to adapt the operation to changed search behavior is beginning to generate results and Eniro is continuing to shift its offering towards growing media channels.

Gratifyingly, the revenue streams Online/mobile and Media products are displaying a positive organic trend. In Online/mobile, revenues increased organically by 2 percent while Media products grew 14 percent. Organically, however, total revenues continued to decline during the first quarter. The difference between total revenues and the organic development is accounted for by directory revenues brought forward, as well as the acquisition of De Gule Sider of Denmark. The slightly lower level of prepaid revenues as we left the preceding year also impacted revenues during the first quarter.

Implementation of the acquisition of De Gule Sider in Denmark is proceeding as planned. In addition to a direct revenue contribution of SEK 23 M in the quarter, the acquisition has contributed to the creation of revenue synergies in Eniro's Danish operations. The assessment is that De Gule Sider will generate revenues of some SEK 100 M in 2012, resulting in a positive EBITDA of more than SEK 10 M.

The market for directory assistance

services demonstrated an increased rate of decline during the first quarter compared with before. Smartphone penetration continues to rise, which is resulting in lower call volumes. Organic revenues

declined 11 percent. Nevertheless, the operation's profitability continues to improve, in part as a result of price increases implemented during the spring and autumn of 2011 and in part because of improved efficiency. A strategic activity is under way to develop and increase revenues from services whereby Eniro acts as a supplier of services on behalf of a third party.

During the quarter, Eniro continued to focus and concentrate operations. A decision was taken to further pursue Eniro Deals via a third-party solution. The reason is to create increased traffic for the service, while enabling greater in-house focus on core business. The company has divested the proprietarily developed Buy & Sell service that was formerly operated from eniro.se. These two events have had a marginal financial impact, but have instead more clearly indicated the direction of the company.

Earnings for the quarter improved significantly. EBITDA rose 34 M in the quarter to SEK 156 M. Costs were reduced by SEK 67 M compared with the year-earlier period and the target of achieving total savings of SEK 200 M during 2012 stands firm.

FIRST QUARTER OF 2012

Total revenues for the quarter were in line with the year-earlier period. The organic trend remained negative. EBITDA improved significantly while cash flow was strengthened.

REVENUES

Total operating revenues amounted to SEK 959 M (966), down 0.7 percent. The acquisition of De Gule Sider of Denmark, which was consolidated at the end of 2011, made a positive contribution of SEK 23 M (0) to revenues. The first quarter of 2011 included revenues of SEK 9 M from divested operations. Organically, revenues declined 8 percent during the quarter. Transferred publication dates had a positive impact on total revenues in the quarter. In 2011, these directories had a value of SEK 51 M.

The organic trend per revenue category during the first quarter was 2 percent for Online/mobile, -30 percent for Print, 14 percent for Media products and -11 percent for Voice.

The share of digital media revenues continued to increase and during the first quarter accounted for 77 percent of consolidated total revenues, excluding Voice.

RESULTS

EBITDA increased 28 percent in the quarter to SEK 156 M (122). The margin in the quarter was 16.3 percent (12.6). Adjusted EBITDA, excluding restructuring costs and other items affecting comparability, amounted to SEK 160 M (134). The operation in Poland reported EBITDA of SEK -14 M (-19).

COST SAVINGS

The cost-savings program is proceeding as planned and total operating costs were SEK 67 M lower than during the year-earlier period, adjusted for divested operations, exchange-rate effects and third-party costs resulting from the strategic shift in the revenue mix towards increased revenues from third-party partnerships. Accordingly, of the total target of SEK 200 M for cost savings in 2012, SEK 67 M was realized in the first quarter.

DIRECTORIES

The revenue stream Directories encompasses Eniro's search services in the channels Online/mobile, printed products within Print and search-word optimization, sponsored links, videos, websites, banners and displays, which constitute the revenue category Media products.

ONLINE/MOBILE

The principal revenue sources within Online/mobile are the main sites and mobile apps eniro.se in Sweden, gulesider.no in Norway, krak.dk in Denmark and panoramafirm.pl in Poland. Online/mobile accounts for 53 percent of the Group's total operating revenues.

REVENUES

Operating revenues for Online/mobile in the first quarter amounted to SEK 513 (479), up 7 percent. The acquisition of De Gule Sider, which was consolidated in Eniro at the end of December 2011, contributed SEK 23 M. De Gule Sider is expected to have sales of approximately SEK 100 M during full-year 2012 and to generate a positive EBITDA of more than SEK 10 M.

Organically, revenues increased 2 percent.

The share of digital media revenues in relation to Eniro's total revenues continues to increase, which positively impacted the share of prepaid revenues in the balance sheet at the close of the first quarter of 2012.

DEVELOPMENT/ACTIVITIES

During the quarter, Eniro launched a new product for local searches for iPad, called Eniro for iPad. The app has been downloaded more than 110,000 times in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The point of departure for the new app is the user's geographical position in order to provide the best possible search results in the neighborhood.

Eniro continued with its strategy of streamlining operations during the quarter. As a feature of this program, the company's Buy & Sell service was sold to 203Webgroup. The divestment will have no financial impact.

PRINT

Eniro's printed products, directories and guides continue to account for a significant portion of Group revenues despite a decline in the share. Print accounts for a total of 18 percent of the Group's operating revenues.

REVENUES

.

Operating revenues for Print in the first quarter amounted to SEK 172 M (189), down 9 percent. Revenues declined organically by 30 percent. The transferred publication dates for these directories amounted to SEK 51 M at 2011 values. Of total print revenues, approximately 30 percent comprises local directories, a percentage that continues to rise.

DEVELOPMENTS/ACTIVITIES

At year-end, a decision was made to combine the Norwegian regional directory, Gule Sider, with the local directory, Ditt Distrikt. Following the merger of these directories, Gule Sider will become a dedicated online brand. The merging of the directories is proceeding as planned and the last Gula Sider directory is being printed in spring 2012. The conversion will result in improved cost efficiency and a more attractive product. The selling-in of Ditt Distrikt, the only remaining printed product in Norway, is exceeding expectations.

The selling-in of this year's directories, which are being produced in a more user-friendly pocket format, is currently proceeding in all markets. In addition to changes to the appearance, the offering has been simplified through an easier to understand price and advertising structure, while cost-efficient selling-in via e-mail was successfully implemented.

In Denmark, Mostrup's regional titles are currently being merged into a fewer number of directories that cover the country's municipal divisions. Work is under way on revising the directories and titles for which Eniro acquired the rights through its acquisition of De Gule Sider in Denmark. A review of the customer structure in the two companies is taking place parallel to this. A conversion and publication strategy will be decided on in spring 2012.

MEDIA PRODUCTS

The establishment of Media Products represents a shift toward the growth areas of the media markets. Services are marketed under the brands Kvasir Media in Sweden and Norway and under Krak Media in Denmark. The Media Products revenue category accounts for 6 percent of the Group's total revenue.

REVENUES

Media Products' operating revenues in the first quarter increased of 15 percent to SEK 54 M (47). Revenues increased 14 percent organically in the first quarter. The growth rate is expected to rise in the second half of the year.

DEVELOPMENTS/ACTIVITIES

Eniro Deals was received positively by both users and customers, but the financial effect has been limited. The market for Deals is highly fragmented and exposed to strong competition. The campaigns offered are largely service oriented since the discounts that characterize such services are high. As part of the strategy to increase volume and traffic to the services, Eniro has decided to centralize its operations and continue to pursue Eniro Deals through a third-party solution. Eniro has chosen to retain Deals in order to develop future customer-paid services. The concentration is expected to have a certain positive effect on Eniro's earnings.

The establishment of a separate sales force that sells media products under the brands Krak Media Group in Denmark, Kvasir in Norway and Kvasir Media in Sweden is proceeding as planned and is expected to be fully staffed in the second quarter.

A major focus is being placed on increasing subtransactions for sponsored links by cooperating with Google, strengthening our own content and developing other third-party partnerships. In addition to expanding the search-word business, work to retain and strengthen positions in the profitable displayadvertising service is under way.

During the growth phase of this revenue stream, the margins are low. Margins are expected to increase when the operation achieves critical mass.

VOICE

Eniro provides information services by telephone and SMS in Sweden, Norway and Finland, and premium services such as route descriptions and restaurant-booking services. A contact center is also in operation in Finland. Voice accounts for 19 percent of the Group's total revenues.

REVENUES

Voice's operating revenues in the first quarter declined 11 percent to SEK 183 M (205). Organic revenues also declined 11 percent. There is no letting up in the general trend of declining volumes for calls and SMS traffic. One contributing factor is the continuing growth in the penetration of smartphones in all markets. The possibility of continuing to counteract the revenue loss with further price increases is deemed to be limited.

EBITDA amounted to SEK 57 M (53), corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 31.1 percent (25.9). Earnings in the quarter were adversely impacted by a reduction in volume and by increased marketing aimed at maintaining the brands' top-of-mind positions among users. The margin was positively affected by the price increases that were implemented during the spring and autumn of 2011. To maintain the best possible profitability in a declining market, Eniro is working continuously to adapt its production to the expected volume outcome. A continuous adaptation of fixed and semi-fixed costs is crucial.

DEVELOPMENTS/ACTIVITIES

In February, following indications received from the Swedish Competition Authority, Eniro's Board of Directors decided not to complete the acquisition of 118 800. Eniro deemed that a continued review process would have involved an extended timeframe, which, when taking into consideration the fastchanging market for directory-information services, would have constituted an excessive risk.

Eniro is working strategically to develop and increase revenues from services where Eniro acts as a supplier of services for third parties.

RESULTS, CASH FLOW AND FINANCIAL POSITION

EARNINGS

Operating income for the first quarter was SEK 33 M (9).

Net financial items amounted to SEK -89 M (+84) and were positively impacted by lower interest rates and exchange-rate losses of SEK 3 M (gain: 10), and positively impacted by lower indebtedness. Net indebtedness continued to decline during the quarter, which positively impacted interest costs.

Income before tax for the first quarter was SEK -56 M (-75).

Earnings per share amounted to SEK -0.38 (-0.51).

TAXES

In the first quarter of 2012, the recognized tax cost was SEK +18 M (+24).

As a result of considerable tax-loss carryforwards in Sweden, Denmark and Finland, Eniro is expected to have low tax costs in coming years.

The underlying tax rate for the past twelve-month period was 20 percent (20).

INVESTMENTS

During the quarter, Eniro's net investments in business operations, including online investments, amounted to SEK 34 M (35).

CASH FLOW

Operating cash flow increased during the quarter to SEK 13 M (-78). Cash flow was positively impacted by improved working capital and earnings. Cash flow from financing activities was affected by repayment of credit facilities totaling SEK 158 M.

FINANCIAL POSITION

Existing credit facilities were refinanced on January 13, 2011. The terms for the new credit facilities are described on pages 74 to 75 of the 2011 Annual Report.

The Group's interest-bearing net indebtedness amounted to SEK 3,515 M on March 31, compared with SEK 3,535 M on December 31, 2011.

At the end of the period, the outstanding debt under existing credit facilities amounted to NOK 1,411 M, DKK 74 M and SEK 2,294 M. Of this facility, NOK 1,350 M and SEK 360 M

has been hedged at a fixed interest rate until August 2012, corresponding to approximately 48 percent of the facility.

Eniro intends to pay off SEK 650 M of existing loans in 2012, of which approximately SEK 500 M comprises agreed loan payments and about SEK 150 M extra loan payments. SEK 150 M of the agreed loan payments will be paid by June 30 and an additional SEK 150 M by December 31, 2012. In addition to the above-specified payment, a payment of about SEK 200 M will be made in August pertaining to the financing of closed interest-rate swaps. The previously communicated extra loan repayment amounted to SEK 158 M and was paid in March in the quarter that has now closed. The loan payments during the year are expected to be made using generated cash flow.

At the end of March 2012, Eniro had an unutilized credit facility of SEK 238 M. Cash and cash equivalents and unutilized credit facilities amounted to SEK 679 M.

As of 2012, Eniro has chosen to exclude pension obligations from its definition of recognized net indebtedness. With the new definition, recognized net indebtedness will be somewhat lower and provide a fairer view of how net indebtedness is developing in accordance with the definitions of bank covenants. The change was communicated in March through a press release. The Group's indebtedness, expressed as interestbearing net debt in relation to EBITDA, excluding pension obligations and other items affecting comparability, amounted to 3.3 at the close of the first quarter, compared with 3.4 on December 31, 2011.

In accordance with the announcement in the distributed press release in March, Eniro has chosen to exclude pension obligations from its definition of recognized net indebtedness from 2012 onwards. With the new definition, recognized net indebtedness will be somewhat lower and provide a fairer view of how net indebtedness is developing in accordance with the definitions of bank agreements.

HOLDINGS OF TREASURY SHARES

Following the completion of the share-match program, Eniro held 3,266 treasury shares at March 31. The average holding of treasury shares during the first quarter was 3,266.

OTHER INFORMATION

FORECAST FOR 2012

Operating revenues

The objective of reporting revenue growth as of 2012 has been revised from that of reporting organic revenue growth to that of reporting total revenue growth that also includes the acquisition of De Gule Sider of Denmark. The aim that EBITDA in 2012 will be in line with the 2011 level stands firm.

EBITDA

The objective is to retain EBITDA in 2012 at the same level as in 2011, assuming a changed revenue mix and continued savings.

Costs

During 2012, total costs are expected to decline by an additional SEK 200 M, compared with 2011.

The planned cost savings do not include effects of divestment and acquisition of operations, or the higher third-party costs that arose due to the strategic shift in the revenue mix towards higher revenues from third-party partnerships.

Capital structure

The target is to achieve net indebtedness in relation to EBITDA that does not exceed a multiple of three.

Working capital

The assessment is that working capital for full-year 2012 will amount to about zero.

Dividend

The reduction in net indebtedness will be assigned priority over dividend payments, in accordance with the aim of reducing net debt in relation to EBITDA.

EMPLOYEES

On March 31, 2012, the number of full-time employees was 3,424, compared with 3,626 on December 31, 2011. The number of employees by country is presented in the table below.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES FROM 2012

This interim report was prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as recognized by the European Union (EU). A detailed description of the accounting policies that Eniro applies can be found in the 2011 Annual Report, with the exception of new and revised standards and interpretations adopted by the EU and which came into effect on January 2012. This interim report was prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

None of the new and amended IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that became statutory in January 1, 2012 had any material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In accordance with the existing IAS 19, Eniro has discontinued applying the corridor method as of January 1, 2012 and recognizes actuarial gains and losses under "other comprehensive income" as they arise. Accordingly, accrual accounting of actuarial losses in operating income will cease. Actuarial losses at the beginning of 2011 amounted to SEK 226 M and the switch to new accounting policies has led to an increase in pension obligations in the balance sheet parallel to a reduction in shareholders' equity. This affected operating income in 2011 by approximately SEK 40 M. The comparative year has been restated in this interim report in line with the changed accounting policies.

A detailed description of the Group's accounting policies can be found on pages 64-67, Note 1, of the 2011 Annual Report.

In accordance with the announcement in the distributed press release in March, Eniro has chosen to exclude pension obligations from its definition of recognized net indebtedness as of 2012. With the new definition, recognized net indebtedness will be somewhat lower and provide a fairer view of how net indebtedness is developing in accordance with the definitions of bank covenants.

PUBLICATION DATES

Since revenues from the sale of printed directories are recognized when the various directories are published, changes in planned publication dates can affect comparisons. See the table below for the planned distribution between quarters and markets in 2012. The net impact on operating revenues in 2012 compared with 2011 is expected to be a positive SEK 33 M. Recognized revenue for these directories is expected to be lower in 2012 as a result of the structural decline in the market for printed products.
