The Board has proposed that the issue price be SEK 33 per share and that six existing shares give the right to subscribe to one new share.
  • A considerable improvement in profit compared to 2013 continues to be forecasted for 2014.

COMMENTS BY THE CEO

Elanders has had a good start of the year. Our new product area, Supply Chain Solutions, whith the newly acquired Mentor Media, lived up and exceeded our expectations during the first quarter. This resulted in a significant rise in revenue and higher profits. The acquisition of Mentor Media has also provided Elanders with a secure foothold in Asia. During the period sales in Asia were 43 (8) % of Elanders' total sales. Corresponding sales in Europe and the Americas were 45 (78) % respectively 11 (14) %. In other words, Elanders' sales have shifted substantially from Europe to Asia, i.e. from a region riddled by low growth to a region characterized by high growth.

We have continued to consolidate our European production units in the product area Print & Packaging Solutions. Production in Sweden, Germany, Hungary and Poland all came under

the same management during the quarter. This allows us to better utilize existing production capacity and take advantage of further production and distribution synergies on a market that continues to suffer from overcapacity and price press. At the same time this reduces our total investment needs in the product area.

Our coordination in e-Commerce Solutions of fotokasten and myphotobook has progressed according to plan and we expect to be able to begin moving over myphotobook production volumes during the second quarter. Production has previously been performed by an external partner but taking it over ourselves is expected to further improve margins in this product area.

GROUP

Our Business

The Elanders Group offers global solutions in the product areas Supply Chain, Print & Packaging and e-Commerce. Elanders Group is acting as a strategic partner for its customers in their work to optimize and develop the processes critical to their business. Elanders AB's shares are listed on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm, Small Cap.

From 2014 Elanders Group has three product areas with a number of strong brands;

Supply Chain Solutions

Mentor Media, Elanders Group's brand in global Supply Chain Management, is one of the leading companies in the world in this field. The company takes responsibility for and optimizes their customers' material and information flows, everything from sourcing and procurement combined with warehousing to after sales service.

Print & Packaging Solutions

Elanders, the Group's brand in Print & Packaging, through its innovative force and global presence offers cost-effective solutions that can handle customer's local and global needs for printed material and packaging.

e-Commerce Solutions

fotokasten, myphotobook and d|o|m are the Group's brands in e-Commerce. Through the technical solutions for e-Commerce provided by d|o|m, fotokasten and myphotobook offer a broad range of photo products, primarily to consumers.

Net sales and result

Consolidated net sales increased by MSEK 357 to MSEK 850 (493), i.e. 72 % during the period compared to the same period last year. The newly acquired Media Mentor and myphotobook are almost solely responsible for the increase in revenue. Excluding acquisitions, i.e. Media Mentor and myphotobook, and using constant exchange rates no organic growth occurred during the first quarter.

The operating result increased to MSEK 37 (23), corresponding to an operating margin of 4.4 (4.6) %. The improved result is entirely due to Mentor Media.

Mentor Media Ltd. was acquired at the beginning of the quarter and consolidated as of 1 January 2014. Mentor Media is a supply chain company with a strong foothold in Asia and one of the leading companies in the world in global Supply Chain Management. The acquisition will increase Elanders' annual net sales to around 3.5 billion Swedish kronor and the number of employees will grow from some 1,900 to 3,400. The acquisition is expected to contribute to a considerable rise in profit already in 2014. The purchase was around MSEK 312 on a cash an debt-free basis. A guarantee from the sellers

amounting to MSEK 27, secured by restricted cash, has been actualized after the acquisition. As part of the financing of the acquisition Elanders' Board intends to propose a new issue with preference for existing shareholders of some MSEK 125 to the Annual General Meeting today for a decision. The entire new issue is guaranteed by Carl Bennet AB and is expected to be completed by the beginning of June 2014.

From 2010 to 2013 Elanders submitted claims for VAT refunds to the Swedish Tax Agency pertaining to 2004–2007. In the years 2011– 2013 the Swedish Tax Agency made consequential amendments regarding many of Elanders' customers who have then demanded compensation from Elanders. It is Elanders' position that the Swedish Tax Agency cannot make consequential amendments. Several judgments from the Court of Appeals in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Jönköping have supported Elanders' position. The Swedish Tax Agency has now appealed some of the decisions and sought reconsideration by the Supreme Administrative Court. The verdict was announced in February 2014 and was in favor of the Tax Agency. This verdict is not expected to have any significant effect on either Elanders' result or financial position. There is also a case in the Court of Appeals where a customer is claiming back VAT from the printing company which also may have an effect on the issue. A verdict from the Court of Appeals is expected within thre to six months.

On 7 July 2011 the Swedish Tax Agency presented its position regarding income tax for graphic companies that have claimed a refund of outgoing VAT. The Swedish Tax Agency's position is that the graphic companies that have made a claim for the refund of outgoing VAT must recognize this revenue in the year the claim is made to the Swedish Tax Agency and not, as Elanders has applied, the year the refund has been paid or at least when payment can be reliably expected. As a result the Swedish Tax Agency has raised Elanders' taxable income for the fiscal year of 2010 by MSEK 70. Elanders is in the opinion that Elanders is right in this matter and has contested this decision. Our total exposure is around MSEK 16, since we can only set off some of the refund against the loss carryforwards Elanders has. During the first quarter of 2013 the period of respite for these MSEK 16 ended and a payment for this amount was made. This did not have any effect on Group result since it is recompensed by an increase in loss carry-forwards. However, it did have a

negative effect on Elanders' cash flow and net debt for the period. The Court of Appeals is expected to make a decision in the case in the second quarter of 2014.

Personnel

The average number of employees during the period was 3,348 (1,809), of which 347 (404) were in Sweden. At the end of the period the Group had 3,372 (1,843) employees, of which 338 were in Sweden.

Investments and depreciation

Investments for the period totaled MSEK 270 (34), of which MSEK 254 (20) were acquisitions. Depreciation for the period was MSEK 29 (25).

Financial position, cash flow, equity ratio and financing

Net debt on 31 March 2014 amounted to MSEK 1,107 (745). The increase since last year is a result of the purchase prices for the acquisition of Mentor Media and myphotobook, which were financed by external credits. Operating cash flow in the period was MSEK -273 (-30), of which acquisitions were MSEK -254 (-20).

PARENT COMPANY

The parent company has provided joint Group services during the period. The average number of employees during the period was 7 (8) and at the end of the period 7 (8).

OTHER INFORMATION

Elanders' vision

Elanders' vision is to be one of the leading companies in the world in global solutions for supply chain, print & packaging and e-commerce. By leading we do not necessarily mean largest. We mean the company that best meets the customers' requirements on effectiveness and delivery capability.

  • Optimize use of the Group's global production and delivery capacity.

  • Broaden our customer base and product offer to lower sensitivity to fluctuations in the business cycle.

Quarterly report January-March 2014

Risks and uncertainties

Elanders divides risks into circumstantial risks (the future of printed matter and business cycle sensitivity), financial risks (currency, interest, financing and credit risks) as well as business risks (customer concentration, operational risks, risks in operating expenses as well as contracts and disputes). These risks, together with a sensitivity analysis, are described in detail in the Annual Report 2013. Circumstances in the world around us since the Annual Report was published are not believed to have caused any significant risks or influenced the way in which the Group works with these compared to the description in the Annual Report 2013.

Seasonal variations

The Group's net sales, and thereby income, are affected by seasonal variations. Elanders normally has a strong fourth quarter.

Events after the balance sheet date

No significant events have taken place after the balance sheet date up to the date of this report was signed.

Forecast

A significant improvement in profit compared to 2013 is forecasted for 2014.

Review and accounting principles

The quarterly report for the Group has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and for the parent company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act. The company auditors have not reviewed this report.

Segment reporting

Group operations are reported as one reportable segment, since this is how the Group is governed. The units in each country or sometimes groups of countries are identified as operating segments. The operating segments have then been merged to create a single reportable segment, consisting of the entire Group, since the units have similar economic characteristics and resemble each other regarding the nature of their products and services, production processes, customer types etc. The President has been identified as the highest executive decisionmaker. Regarding the financial information for the reportable segment please see the consolidated income statements and the statements of financial position along with related notes.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value

The financial instruments recognized at fair value in the Group's report on financial position are derivatives identified as hedging instruments. The derivatives consist of forward exchange contracts and interest rate swaps and are used for hedging purposes. Valuation at fair value of forward exchange contracts is based on published forward rates on an active market. Valuation at fair value of interest rate swaps is based on forward interest rates derived from observable yield curves. All derivates are therefore included in level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Since all the financial instruments recognized at fair value are included in level 2 there have been no transfers between valuation levels. The table below presents fair value respective booked value per class of financial assets and liabilities, which are recorded gross.
