CEO COMMENTS
Lower earnings during 2013 – but good potential for 2014
Several units displayed a good performance during 2013 – BTS Europe as well as Asia and Latin America.
However, the very weak earnings in North America and conversions in South Africa and Australia meant that 2013 was a weak year with 7 percent lower revenues and a 25 percent decrease in profit after tax.
Approaching 2014, we are looking forward to the strong units continuing their positive performance, completion of the restructuring program in Australia with better earnings already shown during the second half of 2013 to our investments in South Africa and in the Middle East generating a positive development.
It has taken longer to reverse the trend in North America than we assumed, we believe, however, that intensified sales efforts in 2013 as well as cost reduction and efficiency improvements will result in a more positive performance during 2014.
We view the results in 2013 as a temporary decline in BTS' growth of many years.

BTS North America displayed a negative performance during the full year compared to the previous year. Several large clients reduced their purchasing during the year, of which some deferred projects until 2014. The sales efforts were strengthened during the year, which generated several new clients and new projects were contracted towards the end of the year. It has taken longer to reverse the trend in North America than we assumed, but we expect that the intensified sales efforts in 2013 will lead to growth during 2014.
BTS Europe
Net turnover for BTS Europe amounted to MSEK 162.8 (150.2) during the year. Adjusted for changes in foreign exchange rates, revenue increased by 10 percent. Operating profit before amortization of intangible assets (EBITA) amounted to MSEK 26.7 (21.3) during the year.

The operating margin before amortization of intangible assets (EBITA margin) was 22 (28) percent.
BTS Europe displayed a positive performance during 2013 with a 25 percent increase in earnings. The decline during the fourth quarter compared to the previous year should be viewed in light of an extremely strong fourth quarter in 2012, and is expected to be temporary.
BTS Other markets
Net turnover for BTS Other markets amounted to MSEK 122.4 (131.9) during the year. Adjusted for changes in foreign exchange rates, revenue increased by 2 percent. Operating profit before amortization of intangible assets (EBITA) amounted to MSEK 9.8 (14.9) during the year. The operating margin before amortization of intangible assets (EBITA margin) was 8 (11) percent.
Net turnover during the fourth quarter amounted to MSEK 27.2 (35.1). Adjusted for changes in foreign exchange rates, revenue decreased by 14 percent. Operating profit before amortization of intangible assets (EBITA) amounted to MSEK 2.1 (4.4) during the fourth quarter. The operating margin before amortization of intangible assets (EBITA margin) was 8 (12) percent.
During the year, Asia and Latin America performed well with good growth in revenue and earnings. Investments to establish BTS in the attractive Arabian Peninsula market have affected earnings.
The annual results in Australia weakened significantly compared to the previous year, but the restructuring, which has been carried out has generated growth and an improvement in earnings during the second half of the year. The decline in Other markets during the fourth quarter is expected to be temporary, and there is good potential for a positive development during 2014.
APG
Net turnover amounted to MSEK 91.5 (102.6) during the year. Adjusted for changes in foreign exchange rates, revenue decreased by 7 percent. Operating profit before amortization of intangible assets (EBITA) amounted to MSEK –0.6 (–0.6) during the year.

Adjusted for changes in foreign exchange rates, revenue decreased by 37 percent. Operating profit before amortization of intangible assets (EBITA) amounted to MSEK –0.5 (0.6) during the fourth quarter. The operating margin before amortization of intangible assets (EBITA margin) was –2 (2) percent.
AGP's negative performance during the full year was a result of the weak fourth quarter, when very extensive rebookings and deferrals of customer projects occurred.
Financial position
BTS' cash flow from operating activities amounted to MSEK 47.7 (59.7) during the year. During the fourth quarter, cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 43.9 M (27.1).

BTS' acquisition of Wizerize A/S
During the year, BTS acquired all the business operations in the Danish company Wizerize A/S including personnel, technology, intellectual property rights, customer relationships, rights to trademarks and all equipment. The acquisition creates new opportunities to offer digital-enabled solutions that are built on current and future social and mobile IT platforms. These solutions supplement and strengthen BTS' existing offer very well. The acquisition was carried via BTS' subsidiary BTS USA Inc. The agreed purchase price consists of:
- • Cash payment of MUSD 0.9.
- • MUSD 0.1 in the form of a directed share issue to the sellers of 12,000 B shares at an issue price of SEK 56.81. The issue has taken place pursuant to the mandate provided at the latest Annual General Meeting.
- • An earnout of a maximum of MUSD 0.8 M, provided that Wizerize achieves the set earnings targets during the period 2013 to 2017.
Acquisition calculation on the acquisition date translated at the closing day rate on December 31, 2013 in MSEK:
| MSEK | |
|---|---|
| Cash payment | 5.9 |
| True value of issued stock | 0.7 |
| Estimated value of earn-out payment | 5,2 |
| Total purchase price | 11.8 |
| Net assets at fair value | 3.3 |
| Goodwill | 8.5 |
Goodwill consists of expected future synergies through an expanded product range. Apart from synergies, components of the goodwill item include personnel and future profitability. No acquisition costs have been capitalized but have been expensed in full.
Events after the end of the period
No significant events have occurred after the end of the period.
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 assumptions
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. The actual outcome can deviate from these estimates and judgements. Actual outcomes can deviate from these estimates and assessments. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed regularly.
Accounting policies
This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The parent company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with RFR 2.2, Accounting for Legal Entities and the Annual Accounts Act.

Review report of condensed interim financial information (Interim report) prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and Chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act
XIntroduction
We have reviewed this interim report for the period January 1-December 31, 2013 for BTS Group AB (publ). The board of directors and the president 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 an opinion on this interim financial information, based on our review.
XThe focus and scope of the 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. A review of the interim report consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. 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. Accordingly, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not constitute the same level of assurance as a conclusion based on an audit.
XConclusion
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, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for the group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, for the parent company.
