CEO's comments

Highest net sales and results for a single quarter

Net sales for the fourth quarter rose 9% to SEK 373.5 M (342.1). In local currencies, growth was 10%. EBITA, excluding costs totaling SEK -6.0 M for the revaluation of conditional purchase considerations amounted to 48.3 (36.3) million, an EBITA margin of 12.9% (10.6).

In the fourth quarter, all business areas contributed to Addnode generating the highest net sales and highest operating profit ever in a single quarter. The outcome was attributable to a stronger and broader offering, enhanced efficiency in our delivery organization, as well as the acquisition and integration of high-performance operations.

All business areas improved their operating profits during 2011. In the Design Management and Product Lifecycle Management business areas, we created major and distinct added value for anyone developing new products and solutions, resulting in higher margins. Our public offering has developed well and we see significant synergies between Process Management and Content Management. The Framework Agreement for e-government support services and the three-year contract with the Government Offices for the sites www.regeringen.se and www.sweden.gov.se are clear examples of this.

How the financial turmoil impacts the customers and therefore also Addnode in 2012, remains to be seen. Approximately 30% of our revenues are derived from the public sector and approximately 70% from the private sector. Our business concept means that we have a major portion of recurring revenue. For the 2011 fiscal year, revenue from support and maintenance agreements rose 30% to SEK 482 M. The IT solutions we provide are often critical to our customers' operations. This means that we support our customers both in good and bad times. Customers use the solutions to design new products and shorten lead times as well as increase sales and efficiency in the operation.

A strong and, over time, increasing dividend is important to our shareholders. The Board of Directors proposes a dividend to shareholders of SEK 2.25 per share. Addnode has an unleveraged balance sheet. After the proposed dividend, we will have financial resources to finance growth according to our financial targets.

Our employees are the most important asset in the solutions we deliver to our customers. I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone for their efforts during the year, which meant that we were able to serve our customers with innovative solutions in a troubled business world.

Addnode is a company with extensive experience of growth through the acquisition of supplementary operations. We discuss ongoing with a number of acquisition candidates and is ready in 2012 to raise the acquisition level. In the light of my faith in Addnode I have over the past quarter increased my private shareholding in the company.

Fourth quarter of 2011

During the fourth quarter, EBITA amounted to SEK 42.3 M (36.3), an EBITA margin of 11.3% (10.6).

Excluding revaluation conditional purchase considerations, EBITA was SEK 48.3 M (36.3), an EBITA margin of 12.9 (10.6) percent.

January – December 2011

Net sales during 2011 rose 23% to SEK 1,300.4 M (1.059.9). In local currency, growth was 25%.

During 2011, EBITA amounted to SEK 137.3 M (67.5), an EBITA margin of 10.6% (6.4).

Net financial income totaled SEK 1.4 M (1.0). Tax on earnings for the period amounted to an expense of SEK -15.1 M (-1.9). Addnode has had a low tax rate because profit from operation could be offset against loss carryforwards.

Profit after tax rose to SEK 105.9 M (51.2). Earnings per share amounted to SEK 3.73 (2.13).

Year-end report, January 1 – December 31, 2011

Share-savings program

In accordance with the Board's motion, the Annual General Meeting on May 4, 2011 resolved to implement a share-savings program for all Addnode Group employees. There are no previous share-based incentive programs within the Group.

In brief, the share-savings program entails that in August 2014, employees who participate in the program may be allotted Class B Addnode shares free of charge, both matching share rights and performance shares, on the condition that they have made their own individual investment in Addnode shares. To be entitled to receive matching shares, the participant must be employed by the Group and the investment in Addnode shares must have remained intact up to the date on which the shares are allotted. The allotment of performance shares also requires the Group to achieve certain financial targets for 2011, 2012 and 2013. Under the Annual General Meeting's resolution, the share-savings program may not result in the allotment of more than 674,224 Class B Addnode shares. A total of 303 employees have applied for the share-savings program. Based on this participation and Addnode's assumptions concerning target fulfillment and other factors, the future allotment is expected to amount to 253,232 Class B shares.

To ensure delivery of Class B shares under the share-savings program, the Annual General Meeting passed a resolution concerning an amendment of the Articles of Association, whereby a new class of shares, designated Class C shares, will be introduced. The Board of Directors was authorized to make a decision regarding a private placement of Class C shares to Nordea Bank AB (publ) and to make decisions on the repurchase of the same shares. It was also decided that the Class C shares repurchased by Addnode, after conversion to Class B shares, would be transferable to participants in the share-savings program. The new issue and immediate repurchase of 674,224 Class C shares was implemented in September 2011.
