INTERIM REPORT 2016 JANUARY–MARCH
Improved profitability – continued measures to reverse trend in digital revenue
I am happy to report that our efficiency improvement measures are having an effect. The EBITDA margin is now 27% (14.7%). We work hard to carry out a number of measures to reverse the trend in our digital revenue. During the past quarter we launched our advertising subscription service and renewed our reseller agreement with Google in Sweden. We have also intensified our measures to strengthen the customer base. We have continued high traffic to our search sites, with more than 8.1 million visitors every week.
Working with revenue-enhancing as well as efficiency-improvement measures is the key to capitalizing on the favorable position we have in the growing market for local digital search. Stefan Kercza, President and CEO

CEO's comments
Adjusted EBITDA up 14%
We see that our efficiency improvement measures are having an effect. Adjusted EBITDA improved by 14% during the quarter, to SEK 119 M. The adjusted EBITDA margin was 23.6%. EBITDA also improved, by 46%, to SEK 136 M.
Sales during the first quarter decreased by 20% to SEK 504 M. Revenue still needs to be improved, but we are seeing a slight recovery in order bookings. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2015, sales decreased by 13%. Revenue from Desktop/Mobile search amounted to SEK 356 M. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2015, this represents an increase of just under 3%.
Since we are striving to offer customers attractive, comprehensive digital market solutions, it is gratifying to note that average revenue per customer has increased somewhat. In our Swedish core business, eniro.se, average revenue per customer grew 3%. We are seeing the same tendency for the first contracts signed in our pilot launch of subscription advertising.
Measures for increasing revenue
We continue to have high traffic on our search sites; during the first quarter we had an average of 8.1 million unique visitors every week. The number of visitors who click forward to contact or search for more information about the companies they have visited increased by 1% compared with the first quarter a year ago. We are working relentlessly to be better at explaining the value for our customers of reaching out to all of these visitors, and we continue to take measures to better succeed at this and increase our digital revenue.
Following are some of the most important measures we took during the past quarter:
- The pilot launch of subscription advertising proved to be successful, and average revenue per customer increased. We are now moving forward and offering this to a broader range of customers.
- Renewed reseller agreement with Google in Sweden.
- Improved offering in display advertising. We now offer more formats and more alternative time periods.
- New product in Norway, gulesiderinnsikt.no. We are helping customers profile themselves digitally in an all new way, often in several channels simultaneously.
- Focus on value-based sales in our sales training, in response to keener customer interest in clear information about the results of their digital marketing investments. Our sales support system includes data that makes it easy for sales representatives to describe this for customers. In addition, sales reps who do this achieve significant results from their sales efforts.
- Work is in progress on the launch in the next quarter of a new result report that better highlights the value of customers' advertising investments.
An engaging user experience
In order to always give users an engaging search experience, we are working hard to significantly step up the pace of new product and service launches.
During the first quarter we launched three improvements for Sweden, Norway and Denmark. For restaurant searches we have added the search option "type of cuisine". The map views have been furnished with a better menu, which has increased the click frequency by 400%. And advertisers' Facebook pictures are now displayed on their app profile pages.
In addition, we have added recycling locations to our Norwegian search service, gulesider.no. In the app for our Danish search site, krak.dk, we have added bus timetables. In Sweden we added property lines to eniro.se.
Key priorities
A compelling digital offering is our absolute top priority. We are working intensively on creating the best conditions for our sales force to reach out to customers. The reorganization at the end of last year that created a Nordic sales organization was an important measure. We have high expectations for the subscription advertising solution that we launched during the preceding quarter, as well as for the renewed partnership agreements with Google, which make us a stronger partner for our customers. To reverse the trend and increase our digital revenue, strong focus is now being directed to stabilizing the customer base. We are convinced that we have good opportunities going forward to be even better at capitalizing on our already strong position in the growing market for digital search.

First quarter results 2016
Revenue
Total operating revenue decreased by 20% to SEK 504 M (632). Currency effects on revenue, mainly a weaker Norwegian krona, were negative by SEK -15 M (15).
Prepaid revenue amounted to SEK 502 M (577) at the end of the quarter, a decrease of 13% compared with the level on March 31, 2015.
Digital search
Digital search revenue decreased by 20% to SEK 389 M (487).
Desktop / Mobile search
Revenue from Desktop/Mobile search decreased by 17% to SEK 356 M (430). One of the reasons for the declining revenue is that our reorganization has not yet borne full effect. In Sweden, certain measures are still being carried out to give all teams the right conditions.
We are still feeling the effects in the Swedish market of the turbulence surrounding the company in recent years, but the situation has improved. In the Norwegian market, the general sentiment among customers of our digital offering has been relatively strong.
The measures we have taken in Denmark are beginning to have effect, with fewer managers and lower personnel turnover. We have also increased cost efficiency by reducing our field sales force while at the same time shifting large parts of responsibility for major customers to our telesales teams.
Poland is performing well. The number of customers is growing (2% net), as is brand recognition (45% in the most recent measurement).
Our offering in financial search – mainly proff.se and proff.no – is developing well, and in Norway proff.no is the market leader. Revenue and profitability for our three sales teams in Sweden are favorable. Based on the successes achieved with Proff – first in Norway and now also in Sweden – we are planning for a re-launch of proff.dk in Denmark during the second half of 2016.
During the first quarter, 36% of total searches were performed through the mobile channel, an increase of 2 percentage points compared with the preceding quarter.
Complementary digital marketing products Revenue from Complementary digital marketing products decreased by 42% to SEK 33 M (57).
The decline is mainly explained by our decision last year to sharply reduce sales of Google AdWords as a result of weak profitability. We thereafter analyzed how we could offer this product at better profitability. Google AdWords is an important product to offer in our ambition to be a one-stop-shop for digital marketing services. At the end of 2015, we then renewed our reseller agreement with Google in Norway, and in connection with this we organized our sales in an entirely new way. The result has been convincing, and we therefore moved forward during the first quarter by signing a new agreement with Google in Sweden.
The pilot launch of our Facebook retargeting ads has now been concluded, and we are satisfied with the results. We are now proceeding by incorporating these into our regular product offering.
Print/Voice
Print revenue decreased by 17% during the first quarter, to SEK 24 M (29).
Voice revenue decreased by 22% to SEK 91 M (116).
Print and Voice revenue continues to contract as a result of the shift to digital search channels, however, through good cost control it is nevertheless in respect of earnings developing better than expected. Outsourcing services, such as telephone answering services, are showing especially favorable development.
As previously communicated, in January a judgment was delivered by the Swedish Market Court on a dispute with the Consumer Ombudsman (KO) concerning its demand that price information be provided in connection with use of the service. The ruling, that such information must be provided, was in line with our expectations. We are now developing a technical solution that will enable this starting on July 1. We expect that this will have a limited impact on earnings.
Operating income excluding depreciation, amortization and impairment
EBITDA for the Local search operating segment, which includes the Digital search and Print categories, amounted to SEK 114 M (65). The EBITDA margin was 27.6% (12.6%).
EBITDA for the Voice operating segment amounted to SEK 28 M (43), and the EBITDA margin was 30.8% (37.1%).
EBITDA for the Group as a whole was SEK 136 M (93) for the first quarter. The EBITDA margin was 27.0% (14.7%).
Earnings were favorably affected by SEK 27 M from the shift to paying regular premiums for defined benefit pension plans in Sweden, which has entailed a changed calculation of the pension liability in accordance with IAS. A provision for a discontinued project being conducted together with a partner had a negative earnings effect of SEK -8 M. Restructuring costs amounted to SEK -2 M (-11) during the first quarter. Total nonrecurring items during the quarter amounted to SEK 17 M (-11).
After adjusting for nonrecurring items, adjusted EBITDA for the Group amounted to SEK 119 M (104), an increase of 14%. The adjusted EBITDA margin was 23.6% (16.5%).
Cost efficiency
Eniro's work on efficiency improvement continues. Total operating costs were SEK 173 M lower during the first quarter than in the corresponding quarter a year ago.
Cost savings adjusted for restructuring and third-party costs amounted to SEK 147 M (95). The savings consisted mainly of lower personnel costs.
Amortization
Amortization pertaining to the Gule Sider and Ditt Distrikt brands totaled SEK -21 M (-23). Amortization of the Voice brand 1888 totaled SEK 0 M (-9) during the quarter; the brand was fully amortized at year-end 2015. The Krak brand has been reclassified from having indefinite useful life to a finite useful life of 10 years as from 2016. Amortization of the brand during the first quarter amounted to SEK -3 M (0).
Operating income and net financial items
Operating income for the first quarter amounted to SEK 81 M (30). Net financial items amounted to SEK -84 M (-47). Exchange rate differences had a negative effect on net financial items by SEK -49 M (-10). Income before tax was SEK -3 M (-17) for the period.
Taxes
The reported tax cost for the first quarter was SEK 1 M (-10). The effective tax rate was 33.3% (58.8%).
Eniro's taxes are paid primarily during the first half of the year. Accordingly, paid taxes are low during the second half of the year. As a result of tax-loss carry forwards in Sweden, Denmark and Finland, Eniro has had low tax payments for several years. Tax payments are expected to remain relatively low in the years immediately ahead.
Net income for the period and earnings per common share
Net income for the first quarter was SEK -2 M (-27). Earnings per common share were SEK -0.03 (-0.39). Earnings per common share after dilution were SEK -0.02 (–).

Cash flow and financial position
Cash flow
Cash flow during the first quarter amounted to SEK 37 M (19). Cash flow from operating activities was SEK 65 M (60), where stronger EBITDA of SEK 136 M (93) and a positive change in working capital, by SEK 5 M (-8), compensated for higher financial payments of SEK -20 M (-2) and lower provisions of SEK -45 M (-15).

Changes in the interim report's contents
In this interim report we have introduced a few content changes. Starting with this report we are reporting Desktop search and Mobile search together, as Desktop/Mobile search, since separate reporting is no longer relevant.
We have also made certain changes in the tables in the report. Between the sections that describe "Income for the first quarter" and the "Cash flow and financial position" section, there was previously a page with four tables. The table "Revenue by country" has been removed, and the corresponding information is now provided in Note 3. The table "Organic revenue change by category" has been removed entirely, as it is no longer relevant; the company is currently not in a transaction-intensive phase. Finally, the table "Changed publication 2016 vs. 2015" and the accompanying "Publication dates" paragraph have also been removed entirely. The number of printed directories is now so low that the impact on revenue of changed publication dates is not significant.
Events after the end of the reporting period There are no events to report.
Review report
This interim report has not been reviewed by the company's auditors.
Disclosure
The information in this interim report is such that Eniro AB (publ) is obligated to disclose pursuant to the Securities Market Act. This information was submitted for publication at 08:00 (CET) on April 27, 2016.

Earnings per common share before dilution
Earnings per share before dilution are calculated as income for the period attributable to owners of the Parent Company less the set dividend on preference shares for the period, divided by the average number of common shares, excluding treasury shares, before dilution.
Earnings per common share after dilution
In calculating earnings per share after dilution, the average number of shares is adjusted for the effects of the potential dilution of common shares associated with the convertible bond. This entails that earnings per share after dilution are calculated by dividing income for the period attributable to owners of the Parent Company plus interest expense after tax pertaining to the convertible loan, less the set dividend on preference shares for the period, by the average number of common shares, excluding treasury shares, after full conversion.
