"Our business concept, which involves a large proportion of prepaid support and maintenance agreements, generated a highly robust cash flow during the period.

An international organization that wins new businesses

25 PERCENT GROWTH AND 52 PERCENT RECURRING REVENUE

We are starting the year by reporting strong first-quarter growth of 25 percent compared with the year-earlier period. The main underlying reason is our July 2015 acquisition of Transcat PLM. Our cash flow is very robust during the period and our recurring revenue from support and maintenance accounted for 52 percent of net sales. This is the highest share on record for a first quarter. The result is affected by the transition of our Autodesk business and that we have not been able to gain full leverage in some our units.

WE ARE CONTINUING THE TRANSFORMATION

Over the past number of years, we have gradually transformed Cad-Q in the Design Management business area from a dedicated CAD supplier to a broad-based strategic business partner offering software and services for design, construction and product data information. To highlight the transformation that has occurred, Cad-Q has been renamed Symetri and its profile and organization – with 300 employees in the Nordic region and the UK – has been more clearly defined. We have also strengthened and supplemented our current facility management offering through our acquisition in February of the software company 5D System.

STRONGER TOGETHER

In the Product Lifecycle Management business area, TechniaTranscat's transformation is ongoing, taking it from a Nordic organization with about 160 employees to a European international organization with more than 400 employees. In parallel with our integration efforts, we are now securing major agreements with customers in the Nordic region, Germany and the US; an achievement that would not have been possible if the companies had continued to act independently, thus demonstrating the strength of the combined company and offering.

SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL IN PUBLIC SECTOR

The Process Management business area reported a stable start to the year with several new customer agreements and there is positive momentum throughout the organization. For example, we received a letter of allotment from the City of Gothenburg valued at more than SEK 35 M, which was appealed after the close of the period and we are awaiting the decision of the Administrative Court of Appeal. I believe there is major potential moving forward to further advance the business area's offering to target public authorities, municipalities and sectors such as schools and health and care services, where our systems can have major societal benefit.

WE SIMPLIFY EVERYDAY LIFE FOR OUR USERS

We are one of the leading suppliers in Europe of software and services for design, construction and product data information in an international market where we are continuing to secure customer agreements. In parallel, we contribute to the welfare of society through digitalization of the Swedish public sector by providing IT solutions that can process large volumes of documents and cases. We constantly evaluate acquisitions to strengthen our offering and continue our profitable journey of growth. Together with our customers, we simplify and improve everyday life for the more than 600,000 engineers and administrators across the globe who use one of our software or systems solutions on a daily basis.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2016

Renewed and expanded agreement with engineering consultancy company, worth SEK 31 M over three years

Cad-Q (under name change to Symetri), a company in the Design Management business area, signed an agreement with a leading Swedish engineering consultancy company with operations in over 30 countries.

The agreement, which is an extension of the existing agreement, has an order value of SEK 31 M and extends over three years.

Renewed and expanded agreement with German car manufacturer; order value of SEK 75 M over three years

TechniaTranscat, a company in the Product Lifecycle Management business area, renewed and extended the existing agreement with a German car manufacturer. The agreement, which includes the development and management of existing product data systems and support services, has an estimated order value of approximately SEK 75 M over three years.

Acquisition of software company 5D System

5D System (5D Systemkonsult AB) is a Swedish software company that provides facility management systems to the private and public sectors. The company reported sales of SEK 22 M in its split 2014/15 fiscal year, with operating profit of SEK 4 M and an operating margin of 19 percent. The company is included in the Design Management business area and transfer of the operation occurred on February 1, 2016. The acquisition was paid in cash and is expected to have a marginally positive impact on Addnode Group's earnings per share.

Board of Directors proposes an unchanged dividend of SEK 2.25 (2.25) per share

The Board of Directors proposes an unchanged dividend of SEK 2.25 (2.25) per share. The assessment is that the company will have sufficient funds after the proposed dividend to be able to achieve its financial targets.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE PERIOD

Letter of allotment for planning and monitoring system, order value of approximately SEK 35 M has been filed for appeal

Kartena, a company in the Process Management business area, received a letter of allotment for a planning and monitoring system for the City of Gothenburg. The order value is approximately SEK 35 M over four years with an option to extend of one plus one year. A request for appeal has been filed with the Administrative Court of Appeal and we are awaiting its decision.

The subsidiaries Tekis and Cartesia merged under the Sokigo brand

Tekis and Cartesia, two subsidiaries in the Process Management business area, are being merged with the aim of strengthening their customer offering. The combined company will offer effective and user-friendly business support to customers in the private and public sectors. The merged company has a total of 120 employees.

Subsidiary Cad-Q renamed Symetri

Cad-Q started in 1989 as a CAD supplier. Since then, the company has gradually transitioned to become a strategic commercial partner offering software and services for design, construction and product data information. As a step in this transformation process, the company is now being renamed Symetri. Symetri has about 300 employees and is part of the Design Management business area.

Framework agreement regarding e-health application management signed with Inera

Decerno, a company in the Process Management business area, has signed a framework agreement with Inera regarding e-health application management. The agreement spans a period of four years and has an annual estimated potential contract volume of SEK 80-120 M. A second round of competition will take place among the 12 companies that have signed the framework agreement.

CONSOLIDATED NET SALES, EARNINGS AND CASH FLOW

First quarter, January - March 2016

Net sales rose 25 percent to SEK 540.8 M (431.8). Software revenue rose to SEK 75 M (59), revenue from support and maintenance agreements increased to SEK 280 M (214), revenue from services rose to SEK 167 M (149) and revenue from others increased to SEK 18 M (10). EBITA amounted to SEK 30.6 M (33.7), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 5.7 percent (7.8).

The Design Management business area reported stable earnings despite a challenging market, the impact of lower license sales and the change of Autodesk's business model. There was a major internal focus during the quarter on the transition to a new organization and the transformation to the Symetri brand. While the Product Lifecycle Management business area posted sharp growth attributable to the acquisition of Transcat PLM, the margin did not achieve the corresponding rate of increase, due to lower margins for Transcat PLM's product mix than

for the Group in general and not been able to gain full leverage in the Nordic organization. The Process Management business area reported a stable start to the year in a healthy market. The Content Management business area did not have a sufficiently high degree of utilization during the period, which impacted earnings.

NET SALES AND EBITA IN OUR BUSINESS AREAS

Addnode Group has two core businesses and is organized in four business areas. For more information about each business area, please visit to www.addnodegroup.com

Design Management

IT solutions for design and construction.

Financial and operational performance

In the first quarter, net sales amounted to SEK 225.8 M (228.5). EBITA amounted to SEK 14.8 M (17.0), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 6.6 percent (7.4). The business area posted stable earnings despite a challenging market. The quarter was characterized by the

transition to a new organization and the transformation to the Symetri brand. The downturn in license sales as a result of the change-over of Autodesk's business model is now clear, and license sales of third-party products are declining. Construction in Sweden is showing stable development and Norway is continuing to perform relatively strongly in a soft market. The project tools offering has trended positively and we added new customers and increased the number of users of our systems. During the period, we completed an acquisition of the software company 5D System, which will reinforce our offering in the facility management sector.

Secured agreements

The business area secured agreements with such customers as Akademiska Hus, ATOS IT Services, Kone, Midroc Automation, Powell, SCA, Skanska, SKF, Statoil, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration and Valmet Technologies.

Process Management

IT solutions for document and case management.

Financial and operational performance

In the first quarter, net sales amounted to SEK 110.8 M (111.2) and EBITA was SEK 14.4 M (15.5), corresponding to a margin of 13.0 percent (13.9). The business area reported a stable beginning to the year, with projectrelated operations that specialize in case

management systems having a particularly positive start. During the quarter, the business area received a letter of allotment for a planning and monitoring system in the City of Gothenburg valued at about SEK 35 M. However, a request for appeal has subsequently been filed. The subsidiaries Tekis and Cartesia were merged under the name Sokigo to form an organization with 120 employees. Sokigo is a leader in the Swedish market for GIS and municipal engineering systems with a strong product portfolio and broad service offering.

In the first quarter, net sales rose to SEK 176.4 M (59.2) and EBITA increased to SEK 8.8 M (5.6), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 5.0 percent (9.5). The robust growth was attributable to the acquisition of Transcat PLM in July 2015. The integration of Transcat

PLM and Technia is progressing according to plan and the new combined company has secured new customer agreements; an achievement that would not have been possible if the companies had continued to act independently. A number of large contracts were signed with customers which, for competitive reasons, we cannot name. The US trended positively during the period, while it was not possible to gain full leverage in ongoing projects in the Nordic region. The market in Germany was favourable with stable capacity utilization and sales of software.

impacted earnings. The market is positive and the business area is receiving a good response from customers, who appreciate its offering as a digital transformation partner.

CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW

Liquidity, cash flow and financial position

The Group's cash and cash equivalents totaled SEK 241.6 M on March 31, 2016 (102.9 on December 31, 2015). Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 150.2 M (40.5) in the first quarter of 2016. The healthy cash flow was largely attributable to advance payments from customers for support and maintenance agreements. Cash flow from investing activities for 2016 includes payments for proprietary software in the amount of SEK 11.8 M (9.6). A new bank loan of SEK 29.5 M was raised at the end of January 2016. On March 31, 2016, the Group's interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 149.0 M (126.6 on December 31, 2015) and net interestbearing assets and liabilities amounted to SEK 93.1 M (neg: 23.2). The equity/assets ratio was 48 percent (48) on March 31, 2016. The proposed dividend is anticipated to entail a payment of SEK 68.5 M in May 2016. The Parent Company has an existing agreement for a credit facility amounting to SEK 100 M. Since January 2015, the Parent Company also has an agreement covering a credit facility of up to SEK 200 M to finance future acquisitions, of which SEK 123 M had been drawn upon up until the date of publication of this interim report.

Investments

Investments in intangible and tangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 17.4 M (14.9), of which SEK 11.8 M (9.6) related to proprietary software and SEK 4.9 M (5.3) to equipment.

Goodwill and other intangible assets

On March 31, 2016, the consolidated carrying amount of goodwill amounted to SEK 916.2 M (889.2 on December 31, 2015). The carrying amount of brands totaled SEK 12.2 M (12.1). Other intangible assets amounted to SEK 170.0 M (159.9) and pertained primarily to customer agreements and software.

Deferred tax assets

On March 31, 2016, total recognized deferred tax assets amounted to SEK 10.9 M, of which SEK 6.5 M was attributable to tax loss carryforwards. The Group's accumulated tax loss carryforwards totaled approximately SEK 44 M on March 31, 2016. The deferred tax assets attributable to tax loss carryforwards are recognized as assets insofar as it is probable that the tax loss carryforwards will be deductible against surpluses in future taxation.

Shareholders' equity and number of shares

On March 31, 2016, shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 936.8 M (916.6), corresponding to SEK 30.79 (30.12) per share outstanding. The changes in the number of shares outstanding and shareholders' equity are presented on page 11. The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting on April 28, 2016 resolves to pay a dividend totaling SEK 68.5 M. On March 31, 2016, there were no outstanding share-savings, options or convertibles programs.

Provisions

Provisions, which in the consolidated balance sheet are included among long-term and current liabilities, amounted to SEK 54.5 M on March 31, 2016, of which SEK 46.2 M pertained to estimated conditional purchase considerations for implemented company acquisitions. During the second quarter of 2016, it is anticipated that payments of conditional purchase considerations will amount to approximately SEK 9 M.

Employees

During the first quarter of 2016, the average number of employees in the Group was 1,117 (886). At the end of the period, the number of employees was 1,216 (1,202 on December 31, 2015).

Information about subsidiary business acquisitions

On February 1, 2016, an agreement was signed to acquire all shares in 5D Systemkonsult AB, with transfer on the same date. For the fiscal year of May 2014 - April 2015, the company reported net sales of SEK 22 M and operating profit of SEK 4 M. It is a Swedish software company that provides facility management systems to customers in both the private and public sectors. 5D Systemkonsult has 20 employees and will, as of the date of transfer, become part of the Design Management business area, which has a strong offerings history in terms of providing systems to the construction and facility management sectors. The acquisition will supplement and strengthen these offerings further.

According to the preliminary acquisition assessment, goodwill and other acquisition-related intangible assets arising through the acquisition are estimated to amount to about SEK 31 M, which gives rise to a deferred tax liability of approximately SEK 2 M. Other acquired assets and liabilities pertain primarily to accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents and deferred income. During the first quarter of 2016, the acquisition did not have any significant impact on consolidated net sales and profit after tax. If the acquisition had been implemented on January 1, 2016, consolidated net sales for the first quarter of 2016 would have amounted to approximately SEK 543 M and profit after tax to about SEK 12 M. Costs totaling SEK 0.1 M for implementing the acquisition are included in Addnode Group's other external costs for 2016.

Information about financial instruments

The Group's risk exposure in respect of financial instruments is relatively limited. No financial assets or liabilities are recognized at a value that considerably deviates from the fair value. More detailed information is available in Note 19 of the 2015 Annual Report. In 2016, there were no significant changes in holdings or the valuation of financial instruments attributable to Level 3 of the fair-value hierarchy under IFRS 13 and there were no transfers between the levels in the valuation hierarchy. On March 31, 2016, the Group had no outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts.

Parent Company

Net sales amounted to SEK 0.0 M (0.1) in the first quarter of 2016. A loss before tax totaling SEK 8.9 M (loss: 5.4) was reported. Cash and cash equivalents totaled SEK 166.0 M on March 31, 2016 (80.3 on December 31, 2015). Investments in shares in subsidiaries amounted to SEK 32.3 M and transfers of shares in subsidiaries to other Group companies amounted to SEK 21.2 M. No significant investments were made in intangible or tangible fixed assets. The proposed dividend is anticipated to entail a payment of SEK 68.5 M in May 2016. During the second quarter of 2016, it is anticipated that payments of conditional purchase considerations will amount to approximately SEK 9 M. The Parent Company has an existing agreement for a credit facility amounting to SEK 100 M. The Parent Company also has an agreement covering a credit facility of up to SEK 200 M to finance future acquisitions, of which SEK 123 M had been drawn upon up until the date of publication of this interim report.

The consolidated accounts have been prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS, as adopted by the EU, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The Parent Company's accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The new standards, amendments and interpretations of existing standards that gained legal force in 2016 had no impact on Addnode Group's financial position or financial reports.

In the year-end report for 2015, the Board submitted the following future outlook: In the long-term, the areas in which the Addnode Group is active are deemed to have a strong underlying potential. The Addnode Group's growth strategy is for organic growth and to contribute new supplementary offerings and additional expertise through the acquisition of new operations. The policy of not issuing a forecast stands firm.
