Comments from the President and CEO

Eniro is a media company with 70 percent of order intake from digital channels. The proportion continues to rise. One year ago, we presented the plan to turn around Eniro's revenue trend and strengthen the company's financial position. The focus has been to improve the quality of the core product and to create a complete media offering, which is progressing according to plan. In parallel with the work to clarify and strengthen the customer offering, the company has worked intensely to cut costs. The cost-saving year's is raised from SEK 250 M to SEK 350 M. Eniro's preparedness to continue adapting fixed costs to the prevailing market situation is deemed high.

Our objective of achieving our established goal of returning to organic revenue growth in 2012 stands firm. Indications concerning the order backlog entering 2012 are positive. The uncertainty in our business environment has intensified and we are aware that it is taking longer to sign agreements in our majorcustomer segment. The situation in Eniro's primary customer group, small and mid-size companies, remains stable. We believe that there will be a shift in the revenue mix to a larger portion of third-party partnerships involving sponsored links, which will have a positive impact on revenue but will entail lower margins. Our assessment is that we will retain EBITDA for 2012 on par with 2011, assuming a changed revenue mix and continued cost-cutting activities.

The organic revenue decline in the third quarter was 8 percent, entailing a somewhat lower level than anticipated and on par with the preceding quarter. As a result of seasonal patterns, with several planned printed publications, the fourth-quarter trend indicates lower organic growth. All in all, this means that the forecast for the current year will be an organic decline of about 10 percent.

Product-search has now been implemented in our core services throughout Scandinavia. Mobile services remain the area that has increased the most and we have a strong position in the growing market for mobile advertising. Eniro Deals has been well received by users and customers, but to date the financial impact has been marginal.

After the close of the period, Eniro signed an agreement to acquire the directory enquiries service 118 800. The acquisition will provide Eniro with access to a profitable operation, with a strong cash flow at low risk. The acquisition will strengthen Eniro's position in the search segment and contribute to consolidation in the directory enquiry market.

As part of the focus on profitable operations and Eniro's market position as a leading player in the transition to digital channels, the regional Gule Sider directory in Norway will be merged with the local Ditt Distrikt directory as of the end of 2012. The merger will generate savings and will streamline Gule Sider® into a pure online brand. The Swedish Gula Sidorna directory will be printed in A5-format from the same date, which will support continued high use and reduce costs. The print portfolio in Denmark will also be concentrated.

While compiling the quarterly financial accounts, the company's intangible assets were impairment tested. The results showed that the asset values in Eniro's core business had been maintained, while there were impairment requirements in Print in Poland and in Voice in Norway. The impairment in Norway was implemented due to volume decline in the market, while the situation in Poland was due to the accentuated online transformation. The impairment had no impact on the company's covenants, which were fulfilled by the communicated financial objectives.

In terms of finances, the plan is to continue to amortize loans to achieve the net-debt target of less than 3.0 in relation to EBITDA.

Johan Lindgren, President and CEO

Directories Scandinavia accounted for around 74 percent of Eniro's revenues in 2010, excluding divested Finnish operations.

Third-quarter results

Operating revenues for Directories Scandinavia amounted to SEK 735 M (788), an organic decline of 8 percent. Revenues declined due to lower order intake in the majorcustomer segment. Prepaid revenues in the balance sheet were 8 percent lower at September 30, 2011 compared with the same date in 2010. The decline was due to lower order intake and changes in terms of payment.

After the end of the period, Denmark launched product search, which means that the service has been launched in all Nordic countries.

After the merger, Gule Sider will be a pure online brand. The Swedish Gula Sidorna directory will be printed in A5 format from that date, which will support continued high use and reduce costs. Also in the Danish market, there will be a consolidation of print titles and a transition to the A5 format.

In Denmark, revenues decreased 14 percent organically.

Voice

The segment Voice includes directory assistance services Eniro 118 118 in Sweden, 1880 in Norway and 0 100 100 in Finland. Voice accounted for approximately 19 percent of Eniro's revenues in 2010 excluding divested Finnish operations.

Third-quarter results

The market for personal search services is undergoing major changes. While competition is sharpening, the use of smartphones and tablets is increasing. Volumes in traditional directory services are declining. Eniro is focusing on enhancing Voice services, in order to offer a personal search service that will encourage increased usage, while working actively on price models.

Operating revenues for Voice amounted to SEK 230 M (250), an organic decline of 7 percent. Volumes declined in all markets due to increasing number of smartphones. For revenues in Sweden, the volume decline was largely offset by a price rise in May. Marketing costs for the quarter were low.

EBITDA amounted to SEK 101 M (93), positively impacted by the Swedish price increase and cost adjustments. The EBITDA margin was 44 percent (37).

While compiling the quarterly financial accounts, the company's intangible assets were impairment tested. Since the carrying amount of the operation in Norway, in the Voice segment, could not be justified, goodwill was impaired by a total of SEK 166 M in the quarter. The impairment requirement was due to the declining volume trend in the market for directory services, as well as legislation that, in contrast to the Swedish market, does not facilitate a widening of the business concept.

January 1 – September 30, 2011

Operating revenues for Voice amounted to SEK 676 M (743), an organic decline of 7 percent. Volumes declined in all markets, but were partly offset by price increases.

EBITDA amounted to SEK 240 M (270) and the EBITDA margin was 36 percent (36).

Events after the end of the period

To strengthen the search offering and Eniro's position in the profitable Voice segment, Eniro signed an agreement after the end of the period to acquire the directory service 118 800. The transaction will have a positive impact on the company's cash flow at low risk. The purchase consideration was SEK 20 M, which will be paid in cash when the transaction has been finalized, as well as a variable portion amounting to a maximum of SEK 30 M, which will which be based on the acquired operation's performance in the coming two years.

118 800, which is profiled as a low-price alternative among Swedish directory services, reported sales in 2010 of approximately SEK 70 M, with EBITDA of slightly more than SEK 19 M. The operation is expected to be consolidated into Eniro's Voice business area in January 2012. The acquisition is conditional upon approval from the Competition Authority.

Voice

Poland

The segment Poland includes Eniro's print and online operations in Poland under the brand Panorama Firm. Poland accounted for around 7 percent of Eniro's revenues in 2010, excluding divested Finnish operations.

Third-quarter results

The Polish market displayed a stronger decline in printed media. Eniro has a strong market position in Poland in Print and has taken the initiative to improve the online offering. However, the Polish market for online services is not as developed as the market in Scandinavia.

A limited number of Polish directories were published in the third quarter. Operating revenues for Poland totaled SEK 47 M (57), an organic decline of 12 percent, due to lower demand for printed directories. Online revenues rose 46 percent from a low level.

The review of the sales organization, and the activities that were initiated in the second quarter to increase the proportion of online revenues, continued in the third quarter.

EBITDA for Poland amounted to SEK -11 M (-7).

While compiling the quarterly financial accounts, the company's intangible assets were impairment tested. Since the carrying amount of the traditional print operation in Poland could not be justified due to the accentuated online transformation, goodwill was impaired by a total of SEK 214 M during the quarter.

January 1 – September 30, 2011

The order intake during the period declined year-on-year due to the structural decline in print. Online revenues continued to increase sharply, but from low levels.

Operating revenues for Poland amounted to SEK 136 M (175), an organic decline of 16 percent, due to lower demand for printed directories.

EBITDA for Poland amounted to SEK -44 M (-32).

A limited number of Polish directories were published during the first nine months of 2011. Most print revenues normally accrue during the fourth quarter, which means that the fourth quarter will show the weakest trend in Poland. The Polish operation will report a loss for the full-year 2011.

Earnings

The operating result for the period was SEK -65 M (-4,455), including goodwill impairment totaling SEK 380 M (4,261), of which SEK 166 M was due to the Norwegian Voice operation and SEK 214 M to the Polish operation.

Net financial items amounted to SEK -288 M (- 219) and were negatively impacted by higher interest rates and an exchange-rate loss of SEK 5 M (gain: 34).

The result before tax was SEK -353 M (-4,674).

Earnings per share amounted to SEK -3.37 (-291.37).

Taxes

During the nine-month period, tax revenue of SEK 15 M (expense: 94) was recognized. During the third quarter, tax expenses of SEK 11 M (tax revenue: 166) were recognized.

As a result of loss carryforwards from the liquidation of the German company, Eniro Windhager GmbH, Eniro is not expected to pay any income tax in Sweden in the years ahead.

Investments

During the period, Eniro's net investments in business operations, including online investments, amounted to SEK 84 M (163).

Cash flow

Operating cash flow for the period declined to SEK -77 M (313), negatively impacted by a nonrecurring payment of SEK 70 M in the second quarter, as well as a negative working capital trend.

Tax payments amounted to SEK 184 M (132) and included SEK 101 M in additional tax regarding the period 2001-2005 in the subsidiary Eniro Holding AS (Findexa Norway AS), according to the definitive ruling from the Norwegian tax authority received in 2010.

Cash flow from financing activities was affected by loan payments for the new facility totaling SEK 263 M, of which a scheduled installment of SEK 100 M was paid in June.

Financial position

Refinancing of existing credit facilities was carried out on January 13, 2011. The terms of the new facility are described on pages 67-68 of the 2010 Annual Report.

The Group's interest-bearing net debt amounted to SEK 4,000 M on September 30, compared with SEK 3,930 M on June 30, 2011.

At the end of the period, outstanding debt under the existing credit facilities amounted to NOK 1,482 M, DKK 79 M and SEK 2,465 M. Of this facility, NOK 1,350 M and SEK 360 M have been hedged at a fixed interest rate until August 2012, corresponding to approximately 45 percent of the facility.

At the end of September 2011, Eniro had an unutilized credit facility of SEK 238 M. Cash and cash equivalents and unutilized credit facilities amounted to SEK 621 M.

At the end of the third quarter, the Group's indebtedness, expressed as interest-bearing net debt in relation to EBITDA, excluding other items affecting comparability, amounted to 3.5, compared with 3.6 on June 30, 2011.

Holdings of treasury shares

Following the conclusion of the share-match program, Eniro held 3,266 treasury shares at September 30, 2011. The average holding of treasury shares during the third quarter was 3,266.

Other information

Reduced retirement benefit obligations

During the second quarter, Eniro reduced its pension liabilities in the balance sheet by paying insurance premiums to Alecta. This led to a nonrecurring cost of SEK 36 M, mainly due to actuarial losses being recognized according to IFRS. The payment of pension premiums amounted to SEK 70 M.

Forecast for 2011 and 2012

Operating revenues

For 2011, an organic revenue decline is anticipated, which has been adjusted from an organic revenue decline of less than 10 percent to an organic revenue decline of approximately 10 percent. The objective of achieving organic revenue growth as of 2012 stands firm. However, the uncertainty in the forecast has increased due to accelerating concerns at a macroeconomic level. The objective is to retain EBITDA in 2012 at the same level as in 2011, assuming a changed revenue mix and continued savings.

Costs

The total cost reduction in 2011 is expected to be SEK 350 M, compared with the cost base in 2010, excluding effects of divestments and restructuring of the online and offline operations in Finland. Costs due to pension provisions posted in the second quarter are included in the total cost reduction.

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 from divestments and acquisition of operations, or the higher third-party costs that arose as a result of the strategic shift in the revenue mix to higher revenues from third-party partnerships.

Capital structure

The target is a net debt in relation to EBITDA not exceeding a multiple of three.

Dividend

Priority will be assigned to the reduction of net debt in accordance with the net debt/EBITDA target.

Employees

On September 30, 2011, the number of full-time employees was 3,711, compared with 3,698 on June 30, 2011. The number of employees by country is presented in the table below.

Divestments

In line with the strategy of focusing on profitable core operations, Eniro agreed to divest all of its assets in Findexa Forlag AS, including its five-year right to the Findexa brand. The record date for the transaction was September 1, 2011 and the transaction did not result in any capital gains.

Eniro also sold the operation in Guiden Västerbotten, which publishes local monthly magazines in northern Sweden and was part of the Din Del local directory operations. The sale took place in May and generated a marginal capital loss.

Accounting policies from 2011

The consolidated accounts are prepared with the Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as recognized by the European Union (EU). A detailed description is found in the Annual Report 2010 with the exception of new or revised standards and interpretations endorsed by the EU and effective as of January 2011, as explained below. The structure of the interim report complies with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

New or amended IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations, which became effective January 2011, have had no material effect on consolidated financial statements.

Revenue distribution for combination packages

As of 2010, a joint sales force sells combination packages that include all of Eniro's distribution channels. Sales of the new combination packages began in February 2010 in Sweden and Norway and will gradually comprise a greater share of consolidated sales.

The Eniro Group has two main principles for revenue recognition. Revenues attributable to Internet services (online) are distributed over the period during which the service is provided, normally 12 months (deferral method). Revenues from Directories (print) are recognized when the directory is published (publication method). Revenues from the combined packages will be distributed according to the revenue-recognition principles based on the value of commercial use either derived from price lists or customer surveys. The outcome of the two revenue recognition methods is reported quarterly from the first quarter of 2010 and depends on the value of the components of the two packages. As of the second quarter 2011, these revenue categories are named Online and Print.

Publication dates

Revenues from the sale of printed directories are recognized when the various directories are published. Changes in planned publication dates can thus affect comparisons. In a comparison between 2011 and 2010, the net effect on operating revenue deriving from changed publication dates is estimated to total SEK -25 M. See table below for distribution between quarters and markets.

Risks and uncertainties

Eniro has an annual process for conducting risk analysis, Enterprise Risk Management, which encompasses all parts of the business. Eniro strives to efficiently identify, evaluate and manage risks within the dimensions of industry and market risks, commercial risks, operational risks, financial risks, compliance risks linked to laws and regulations and financial reporting risks.

Refer to pages 30-33 of the annual report for 2010, for a detailed description of the factors that could affect Eniro's business, financial position and net income. The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group in 2011 are the impact of the economy on demand, the ability to broaden product offerings and increase sales efficiency and an alignment of the cost base.

Review report

We have reviewed the interim report of Eniro AB (publ) for the period January 1 to September 30, 2011. The Board of Directors and President are responsible for preparing this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial information based on our review.

We conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements SÖG 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information 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 a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed on the basis of a review does not provide the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed on the basis of an audit.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report has not, in all material aspects, been compiled in accordance with IAS 34 Interim reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
