Jesper Kärrbrink, Eniro's CEO, commented:

"The revenue decline in the first quarter is an effect of the structural decline and a weak directory market at the end of 2009, and is also the main factor behind the drop in EBITDA. Our decision to accelerate the transformation process by implementing a new sales concept with a single sales force selling packages affected order intake and negatively impacted cash flow for the quarter – a doubling of the number of training days has led to fewer clients approached.

More importantly, in closing campaigns we are now starting to see the signs of positive effects from introducing the new concept – improved customer confidence and faster transformation with slightly higher or retained ARPA. All in all, we are confident that the majority part of the sales lag will be possible to catch up by end of this year, and our previously stated outlook of an organic revenue decline in the range of 5 to 10 percent remains."

Group Summary – first quarter 2010

The structural decline in Eniro's largest markets continued, boosted by the weak economy and the late cyclicality of the business. Total revenues in the first quarter fell by 12 percent, corresponding to an organic decline of 7 percent and EBITDA fell to SEK 170 M.

In response to the structural decline and the increasing online competition, Eniro decided to accelerate the transformation of operations through initiating a new sales concept and through further product development. The formerly separate sales forces for the main brands in Sweden and Norway, which previously sold either the online or print distribution channels, were during the first quarter merged into one organization, offering customers a combined package that generates leads regardless of distribution channel.

An important objective of the new sales concept is to strengthen customer satisfaction and build long-term customer relations. The transformation to online is also expected to proceed more rapidly than previously. The implementation of the new concept, together with the impact of the late cyclicality of the business, means that operational risk is heightened over the short term.

In the first quarter, the number of training days doubled from the same period last year, leading to a drop in number of customer meetings. The new sales concept also required the introduction of new back office routines. These factors had a negative impact on the order intake and thereby also on cash flow. Working capital was affected negatively primarily from prepaid income in Directories Scandinavia being 17 percent lower than at the end of the corresponding quarter last year. However, the development during the first quarter is within the previously stated market outlook, and Eniro's assessment of an organic revenue decline for the full year of 5 to 10 percent remains unchanged.

In response to weak order intake, Eniro has accelerated the implementation of the previously announced efficiency measures. Eniro's assessment remains that the Group's total operating expenses will be at least SEK 250 M lower in 2010 than in 2009, assuming constant exchange rates.

To implement its strategy, Eniro continues to enhance the company's offering, primarily within online. Growth in online is at the core of Eniro's strategy to both strengthen the customer offering and increase relevance for end users and customers with a focus on developing core operations.

During the first quarter, initiatives included the launch of a highly appreciated mobile service in Sweden in which nautical charts are combined with business information from Gula Sidorna and map services in Sweden and Norway. In addition, an Internet-based, interactive marketing initiative (Treasure hunt) was launched in Sweden to introduce new map functions and to increase interest in Eniro among various user groups. The objective of these initiatives is to

take a first step in driving traffic and attracting users. In a second step, launches of several new functionalities intended to increase value for both Eniro's customers and users will follow. These development projects are proceeding according to plan and will be launched during the latter part of 2010.

Furthermore, a group-wide branding work is being conducted to create a company culture with common values – One Eniro. Working actively with the brand is a central component in the transformation now in progress and a success factor in capturing market shares for long-term growth.

First-quarter results

Operating revenues during the first quarter amounted to SEK 1,267 M (1,442), an organic decline of 7 percent.

Revenues for Directories Scandinavia amounted to SEK 897 M (1,050), a decline of 15 percent. Organically, the decline for Directories Scandinavia was 10 percent. Revenues in the quarter were negatively affected by weak order intake during the latter part of 2009. The implementation of the new sales concept has so far resulted in a lower order intake, as the number of training days doubled, compared with the same quarter in 2009.

The trend for Voice Scandinavia was stable in the quarter, and revenues amounted to SEK 163 M (169), a decline of 4 percent. Organically, revenues from Voice Scandinavia declined by 4 percent. Previously implemented price increases compensated partly for the volume decline.

Revenues from the segment Finland/Poland declined by 7 percent to SEK 207 M (223). The organic decline was 1 percent.

In this quarter, revenue per category show a drop of 30 percent in publication method revenues, reflecting the print decline. Revenues categorized according to the deferral method (online revenues) amounted to SEK 315 M, corresponding to an increase of 1 percent, adjusted for currency changes.

EBITDA for the quarter amounted to SEK 170 M (285), the decline in EBITDA was mainly reflecting lower revenues within Directories Scandinavia.

In conjunction with implementation of the new sales concept, the sales offices in Jönköping and Borås were closed during the first quarter, resulting in redundancies of about 60 persons. Restructuring costs amounted to SEK 18 M.

During the quarter, the cost savings realized in conjunction with closures within Voice operations in Sweden reached full effect, which had a positive effect on EBITDA during the quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter amounted to SEK 188 M (302).

Directories Scandinavia

The segment Directories Scandinavia includes all search services in the distribution channels online, directory and mobile in Sweden, Norway and Denmark including brands such as eniro.se, Gula Sidorna, Din Del, Gule Sider, kvasir.no, krak.dk, eniro.dk, Mostrup Grøne Vejviser and Den Røde Lokalbog.

During the first quarter of 2010, the formerly separate sales forces for the main brands in Sweden and Norway that previously sold online or print distribution channels were merged into one organization that focuses on offering customers combined packages that include online and print and which generate contacts, regardless of distribution channel.

The new sales concept is expected to increase customer satisfaction, which is one of Eniro's foremost priorities in building long-term customer relations. At the same time, introduction of the new sales concept in its entirety has increased operational risk over the short term. During the quarter, one consequence of the new sales concept was a doubling of the number of training days, compared with the same quarter in the preceding year, which had a negative impact on the number of sales days.

Work with several development projects is in progress both to strengthen the customer offering and to increase relevance for end users. The focus is primarily on enhancing the core business of local search, and several launches are planned for 2010. During the first quarter of 2010, a mobile service was launched in Sweden in which nautical charts are combined with company information from Gula Sidorna. In addition, improved map services were launched in Sweden and Norway, which in Sweden attracted attention through an interactive campaign called Skattjakten in which users with the help of the service and clues were able to win a half a kilo of gold. The campaign generated considerable interest and resulted in 400,000 visitors.

Revenues for kvasir.no continued to be negatively affected by the economy to a greater extent than other products. Revenues were also negatively affected by weaker demand for such brands as Din Del, Ditt Distrikt and Emfas, as well as by major customers in Sweden in certain segments.

Revenues for Directories Scandinavia amounted to SEK 897 M (1,050) during the quarter, a decline of 15 percent corresponding to an organic decrease of 10 percent. The decline in sales was due to weak order bookings during the latter part of 2009 and the implementation of the new sales concept, which resulted in a lower order intake during the quarter. The closure of Telefonkatalogen in Norway (white pages, information about private persons) had a negative effect on revenues for Directories Scandinavia during the quarter.

EBITDA amounted to SEK 130 M (258) and was negatively affected by lower revenues in all countries and by increased costs for sales training. In conjunction with implementation of the new sales concept, the sales offices in Jönköping and Borås were closed out during the first quarter, resulting in personnel redundancies of about 60 individuals. Restructuring costs amounted to SEK 17 M.

Voice Scandinavia

The segment Voice Scandinavia includes the voice services in Sweden and Norway including the brands Eniro 118 118 and 1880.

The market for personal search services is undergoing major changes. At the same time as competition is increasing, traditional voice services are declining. Eniro is working to enhance Voice services with the objective of offering a personal search service that encourages increased usage and is working actively with price models.

Operations within Voice Scandinavia showed a stable trend during the first quarter, and revenues amounted to SEK 163 M (169), a decline of 4 percent corresponding to an organic

decline of 4 percent. Declining volumes were partly compensated during the quarter by previously implemented price increases.

EBITDA amounted to SEK 66 M (55). The savings measures implemented in Sweden during 2009 when a number of operations were discontinued took full effect during the first quarter of 2010 and had a positive impact on EBITDA.

Finland/Poland

The segment Finland/Poland includes the operations in Finland and Poland including brands such as eniro.fi, suomi24.fi, Eniro Puhelinluettelot, Eniro 0100100, Sentraali and Panorama Firm.

The segment Finland/Poland comprises operations in Finland and Poland and includes the Finnish brands eniro.fi, suomi24.fi, Eniro Puhelinluettelot, the voice service Eniro 0100100, the call center operation Sentraali. In Poland the major brand is Panorama Firm.

In Finland, the directory market is fragmented with two major players, of which Eniro is number two. The market for Internet services in Finland and Poland is not as developed as in the Scandinavian countries, in part due to lower Internet usage. Eniro has a strong online position in both Finland and Poland, however, with the search sites eniro.fi and pf.pl. Characteristic for the Finnish market is high use of voice services.

During 2009, an action plan was initiated to increase efficiency in the Finnish operations. This included organizational changes that resulted in termination of employment for about 60 persons within Voice and

administrative functions including sales support. In parallel with these personnel reductions, new recruitment took place within the sales organization. Work to improve efficiency will continue during 2010.

Revenues in Finland amounted to SEK 150 M (178), a reduction of 16 percent. Organically, revenues in Finland declined 7 percent. In Poland during the first quarter, revenues amounted to SEK 57 M (45), an increase of 27 percent. Organically, revenues from Poland increased by 24 percent.

EBITDA for the segment Finland/Poland amounted to a loss of SEK 2 M (loss: 10).

Financial position and cash flow January – March 2010

Operating income for the first quarter amounted to SEK 35 M (167).

Net financial items for the period amounted to an expense of SEK 53 M (164) and were positively affected by lower indebtedness and exchange gains of SEK 19 M.

Earnings before tax amounted to SEK -18 M (3) for the first quarter of 2010.

Taxes

For the period from January to March 2010, Eniro recognized a positive tax cost of SEK 24 M (403). The first quarter 2009 was affected by the valuation of the German tax loss carryforwards of SEK 383 M. The underlying tax rate for the most recent 12 months amounted to 17 percent.

The Swedish Supreme Administrative Court ruled that Eniro may utilize German tax loss carryforwards in Sweden to offset Swedish profits. As a consequence of this ruling, Eniro expects to start using the loss carryforwards during 2010, depending on the date of liquidation of the German company. Eniro thus expects that the company will not pay any tax in Sweden for the coming years.

Earnings per share

Net income per share was SEK 0,04 (10,09) for the first quarter of 2010.

Financial position and cash flow

Operating cash flow decreased to SEK -61 M (412) due to a lower operating result and an adverse trend for the working capital, mainly due to lower prepaid income as a result of the sales lag following the implementation of the new sales concept. Financial items and tax had a negative impact of

SEK 123 M during the quarter, compared with the same period in the preceding year, due to periodization effects.

The Group's interest-bearing net debt amounted to SEK 6,623 M on March 31, 2010, compared with SEK 6,645 M on December 31, 2009. On March 31, 2010, the outstanding debt under the credit facility amounted to NOK 4,250 M, EUR 80 M, DKK 400 M and SEK 620 M.

Of this facility, NOK 3,500 M and SEK 360 M are hedged at fixed interest rates until the maturity date (August 2012). This corresponds to about 60 percent of the facility.

Eniro has a unused credit facility of SEK 740 M. Cash, cash equivalents and unutilized credit facilities amounted to about SEK 1,088 M on March 31, 2010.

The Group's indebtedness, expressed as interest-bearing net debt in relation to EBITDA, showed an unfavorable trend during the first quarter of 2010 amounted to a multiple of 3.9 at the end of the period, to be compared with 3.7 on January 1, 2010. At the end of the first quarter, Eniro had headroom to the bank covenants.

Investments

During the three-month period, Eniro's net investments in business operations, including online investments, amounted to about SEK 41 M.

Holdings of own shares

On March 31, 2010, Eniro held 221,822 treasury shares. These shares will be retained for use in the share-saving program. The average treasury share holding during the quarter was 223,734.

Revenue distribution for combination packages 2010

As of 2010, a common sales force sells combination packages that include all of Eniro's distribution channels. This is a difference, compared with previous years when separate sales forces sold online and printed products, respectively, and where only a small portion of sales (basic listing) in Sweden and Norway was sold as a bundled product. Sales of the new combination packages began in February 2010 in Sweden and Norway and will gradually comprise a greater share of the Group's 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 case (deferral method). Revenues from directories (offline) are recognized when the directory is published (publication method). Revenues from the combined packages will be distributed according to the two revenue-recognition principles based on the value of commercial use either derived from price lists or customer surveys. The outcome

1 All operations in Scandinavia excluding Voice

Risks and uncertainties

Eniro has an annual process for conducting risk analysis, Enterprise Risk Management, that includes all parts of the business. Eniro strives to efficiently identify, evaluate and manage risks within the dimensions industry and market risks, commercial risks, operational risks, financial risks, compliance risks linked to laws and regulations and financial reporting risks. The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group are the impact of the economy on demand, the ability to develop new products that increase the use of services and create value for advertisers, implementation of a new sales concept and the refinancing risk given the Group's debt level. A more complete description of Eniro's risks and uncertainties is provided in Eniro's 2009 annual report on pages 66-67 under the heading Eniro's definition of risk.

Events after the end of the reporting period

Peter Kusendahl has decided to leave his role as VP Sales Director. He has been with Eniro for almost 25 years and has been instrumental in creating the new sales concept. Eniro's CEO Jesper Kärrbrink will assume the role as acting Sales Director until the appointment of a new sales director, and a recruitment process has been initiated.

Other information

In January 2010, it was announced that Eniro was consolidating advertising sales for Gula Sidorna and eniro.se in Sweden in a common sales organization in order to strengthen customer relations and increase efficiency. In conjunction with this change, a personnel surplus of about 60 persons arose.

On February 10, Eniro's management presented a strategic and financial update at a capital market day. Revised financial targets for the long term (3-5 years) were presented, and the previous financial targets for the medium term were replaced by a market outlook for 2010.

As of January 2010, Eniro applies a new segment reporting that reflects the organization that was presented in October 2009 and is based on the segments Directories Scandinavia, Voice Scandinavia and Finland/Poland.
