As previously announced, BTS completed the acquisition during the period of all the businesses in the Danish company Wizerize A/S. The acquisition creates new opportunities to offer digital-enabled solutions that are built on social and mobile platforms of the future, complementing our current range of products and services very well.
New clients secured during the first nine months included Airbus, Banco Santander, Bankia, Belk Inc, Cepsa, DBS Bank, Genworth, Hempel, Hoerbiger, ITM Brazil, Novartis, TE Connectivity and Telefonica Mexico.
Considering that it takes more time to turn the trend in North America, profit before tax for the full-year 2013 is expected to be lower than the preceding year, which differs from the previous report when profit before tax was expected to be in line with the preceding year.

CEO COMMENTS
Unchanged earnings during third quarter
The third quarter contained both positive and negative news – BTS Europe and BTS Other markets displayed good earnings, but our major BTS North America unit displayed sharply negative growth with earnings halved.
It is taking longer to reverse the trend in North America than we assumed, but we expect that the intensified sales efforts will result in a more positive performance during next year.
We see a positive development in emerging markets. We made investments during the year to establish BTS in the attractive markets close to Arabian Gulf, and we have gained several new clients and major assignments there. We can happily confirm that the reorganization of our Australian operations is yielding results – revenue and profits are growing again after four weak quarters.
BTS Europe continues to increase its revenue and earnings.
Overall, we view the current performance as a temporary decline in BTS' growth of many years.
Stockholm, November 7, 2013

Risks and uncertainties
The group's material risks and uncertainties include market and business risks, operational risks as well as financial risks. Business and market risks may relate to larger customer exposures to particular sectors and companies as well as sensitivity to market conditions. Operational risks relate to dependence on people, supply of competence and intellectual property and that BTS meets the high demands imposed by clients in respect of quality. Financial risks mainly relate to foreign exchange and credit risks.
The management of risks and uncertainties is described in the Annual Report for 2012. BTS is considered to have a good diversification of risks as regards companies and sectors and the operational risks are deemed to be managed in a structured manner through well-established processes. The day-to-day exposure to changes in exchange rates is limited since revenues and costs mainly relate to the same currency in each market and the credit risk is limited as BTS only accepts creditworthy counterparties. No new material risks or uncertainties are deemed to have arisen during 2013.
Critical estimates and assumption
In order to prepare the financial statements in conformity with IFRS the Corporate Management is required make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the recognized amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and costs. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and a number of other factors that are regarded as reasonable under the existing circumstances. Actual outcomes can deviate from these estimates and assessments. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed regularly.
