Our ambition for revenue growth in a mid term perspective is 3-5 percent per year with accelerating growth in online revenues, increased revenues from voice and reduced decline from print.
In order to meet the ambition we started out the year quite aggressively with launches of new versions of our websites in all countries, with an organizational split of our online and print business in Sweden and we expanded our sales forces in most markets. The enlargement of our sales force is a strategic move intended to improve the market penetration, especially within online, and a necessary step towards reaching our overall ambition for revenue growth.
The outcome of these efforts is that all our important websites continue to grow traffic in a healthy way and even if the enlargement of the sales force is putting some pressure on EBITDA during the first nine months it is also resulting in growing order intake, which will increase top line growth going forward.
In the second quarter we acquired Krak, the leading online directory company in Denmark, which gives us the leading online position in Denmark. This acquisition will further strengthen our position as the leading search company in the Nordic countries and gives us very strong online positions in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark and a good position in Finland.
We have in the third quarter completed a fast integration process of Krak resulting in redundancies of approximately 160 employees. The new organization has been in place since September 1. The organization is set up in line with the favored group structure focusing on one business in each unit. We have in the third quarter recorded restructuring effects of approximately SEK 50 M and an additional SEK 10 M will be recorded in the fourth quarter. The restructuring will generate synergies of estimated SEK 60 M annually from 2008.
Looking at the Group revenues development, total revenues increased organically with 3 percent in the third quarter and organically by 1 percent in the first nine months.
We continue to show strong organic growth in online with a 20 percent growth in the third quarter and 18 percent for the first nine months. We expect this strong development to continue also in the fourth quarter due to increased sales force resulting in increased number of customers.
Voice also continued to grow in line with our expectations and showed 4 percent organic growth during the first nine months as a result of the new service concept.
The print revenues declined organically by 7 percent in the third quarter and by 7 percent for the first nine months with print revenues stable in Sweden and the decline attributable to Norway. Our two biggest print markets, Sweden and Norway, are developing in different directions. While Sweden showed organic growth in print of 4 percent in the third quarter, strongly supported by strong growth in local directories, and will show organic flat print revenues for the full year compared with last year, the organic print decline in Norway for the full year will be 15 percent. Print revenues in Norway decreased in line with our expectations by 15 percent in the third quarter. The print development in Norway is of course not satisfactory.
EBITDA for the Group decreased to SEK 398 M (448) for the third quarter. EBITDA for the quarter was negatively impacted by changes in the bundling method and the loss of publication fees. In addition the Krak restructuring impacted negatively with approximately SEK 50 M. Considering the impact of these factors the operational EBITDA is somewhat better then the same quarter last year.
We leave our market outlook for the year unchanged with the exception of additional restructuring effects impacting Denmark with SEK 20M and Sweden with SEK 10 M, which will have an effect on Group EBITDA.
In line with our strategy to focus on the Nordic markets, we have during the third quarter divested our German business Wer liefert was? (WLW) for a consideration of SEK 1,060 M (€ 115 M) resulting in a capital gain of SEK approximately 140 M.
In conjunction with the divestment of WLW a new fiveyear loan agreement was signed with the existing bank consortium with a credit framework corresponding to SEK 13,000 M, intended to refinance the existing loan agreement, to finance current operations and to enable cash distribution to shareholders. An Extraordinary General Meeting was held on October 9 deciding on a redemption program distributing approximately SEK 2,000 M to the Eniro shareholders.

Accordingly, Eniro's share of the joint venture's income statements and balance sheets is added to the corresponding line in Eniro's accounts.
In accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, operations that Eniro is phasing out are reported separately in the balance sheet and income statement, since it is highly probable that a sale will be finalized within one year. This means that the German operations are reported separately under the heading Discontinued operations.
A more detailed description of the accounting principles, which Eniro is applying, is presented in the 2006 Annual Report.
Revenue effects for changed publication dates. Revenues from the sale of printed directories are reported when the various directories are published. Changes in publication dates can thus affect comparisons between the same quarters for different years.

Revenue distribution of bundled sales in 2007 Revenues from the sale of bundled products are distributed between offline and online revenues according to a distribution ratio that reflects the market value of each product. Up to and including 2006, the distribution ratio was based on measurements of commercial use of each product, which was measured continuously through customer surveys. The distribution ratio is adjusted annually. As of 2007, this distribution ratio is based on value for the advertisers. The value for the advertiser is measured continuously through customer surveys where the customers estimate the value of commercial use.
Sales of bundled products in the Swedish operations amounted to SEK 420-450 M. As of January 1, 2007, 40 percent of revenues are reported as online revenues, while 60 percent are reported as offline revenues. The same distribution ratio between online and offline was used in 2006.
Sales of bundled products in Norway amounted to approximately NOK 150 M. The same distribution method has been introduced in Norway as in Sweden. A distribution of 70 percent to online and 30 percent to offline of all bundled sales as of January 1, 2007.
The change in distribution method is estimated in the third quarter report to have a negative impact on offline revenues of NOK 79 M, while online revenues is expected to increase by NOK 50 M for 2007. EBITDA for 2007 is estimated to be negatively affected by NOK 29 M. The estimated net difference of NOK 29 M in revenues will be shifted to 2008.
The German operation, Wer liefert was? was sold for an enterprise value of approximately SEK 1,060 M (EUR 115 M). The sale resulted in a capital gain of approximately SEK 140 M, reported as discontinued operations.
In March 2007, Eniro Sweden AB was divided into two separate organizations, Eniro Online AB (online) and Eniro Gula Sidorna AB (offline). The outcome of the split has been positive but to improve the coordination between the two organizations, Martin Carlesund has been appointed as the Managing Director also for the print organization. Peter Kusendahl will continue as Managing Director of Din Del-Group.

We have reviewed the interim report for the period 1 January 2007 - 30 September 2007 for Eniro AB (Publ). The board of directors and the CEO 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 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, issued by FAR. 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 Standards on Auditing in Sweden RS 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 expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information is not, in all material respects, prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act.
