In accordance with the resolution of the Annual General Meeting, the share capital in Eniro AB was reduced by SEK 557 M to approximately SEK 641 M for covering of accumulated loss. The reduction did not result in any shares being retired, which meant that the quota value of the shares declined.
Total operating revenue amounted to SEK 560 M (717), a decrease with 22%. Excluding Eniro Polska, the decrease is 9%.
The divestment of the Proff companies to Asiakastieto Group Plc. and UC AB was completed on 1 July 2019, upon which a cash consideration of SEK 120 M and an interest payment of approximately SEK 3 M were received.

After three years as CEO, it is now time for me to hand over the reins to Magdalena Bonde. Magdalena has been a member of the Board of Directors since 2018 and knows the company well, so I expect the handover to be seamless.
The three years with the company have been intense, with two rounds of recapitalisation, challenging bank negotiations, extensive business development and financial solutions that have given Eniro the financial resources to renew and modernise its business.
Eniro operates in the growing market for digital marketing, where the company is positioning itself to attract small and medium-sized companies with a need for digital marketing.
Eniro has highly competitive offerings for all companies with a need for efficient, high-quality online marketing. In addition to our classic advertising solution through Eniro's own channels, we also offer search-engine optimised and mobile-friendly websites as well as advertising via Google and Facebook. Eniro uses "Närvarokollen" to ensure that all online data about its customers is correct on all relevant websites. Market Place also gives small business owners access to costefficient, targeted advertisements in popular news media.
Eniro works with the leading, rapidly growing companies in digital advertising: Google and Facebook. Customers are now able to see the effect of their investments in digital marketing via Eniro's interface.
The sale of the Proff companies generated favourable liquidity for Eniro, which – combined with a focus on its digital media business – has provided Eniro with an
opportunity to secure a position as the natural digital marketing partner of small and medium-sized companies', a unique position that will lay the foundation for a new, exciting future for Eniro's operations.
Gone is the old catalogue company and in its place is a modern provider of digital marketing services. Our bona fide expertise and experience of search engine marketing, which has been built up and honed over many years, has now been translated into digital marketing. This expertise has been supplemented with modern offerings and partnerships with Google, Facebook, Mono Solutions, Yext and other industry leaders.
Eniro currently meets the digital marketing needs of a large number of companies. Customers need the right information and updated websites. They must be searchable in all relevant search engines and they need their digital advertisements to reach their selected target groups in a cost-efficient and simple manner.
This gives customers the chance to make the right choice, to test various solutions and see what works best, and to boost their business online.
During 2019, we will continue to build "the new Eniro." The challenge lies in the fact that this offering is still relatively unknown in the market. Over the coming year, Eniro will therefore increase our communication with the market in order to present our new position and explain what we can do for our customers.
Eniro's new offering will give its sales representatives the right tools to provide efficient solutions focusing on customer value. Thanks to this strong offering, we are attracting a growing number of sales representatives who want to be part of our exciting future.
During the second quarter, we see concrete results from previously implemented and ongoing development and change work.
For the first time in many years, the sales exceeded one quarter for the corresponding quarter last year on our largest market Sweden. It is a breakthrough that we have worked hard to achieve.
This is a good acknowledgment that the strategy we implemented to reverse the company works and the fact that Sweden, which was first in the implementation of the new strategy, now turns, strengthens the expectation that Norway and Denmark soon will be able to turn around too. After many years of decline we now see the potential of the new business. The changeover to an attractive media advisor for small and medium-sized companies has provided motivation and created future confidence in the company. During the autumn, we will increase our communication to the market and intensify our customer dialogue in order to create even higher value for our customers.
There is a delay before the turnaround of sales that we now see in the market is converted into increased
revenues. Revenues during the second quarter was somewhat weaker than expected, but EBITDA developed according to plan. Our stable Cash and Bank now means that we can be offensive and increase our sales activities.
Proff, our B2B unit, has been sold to Asiakastieto and the transaction was completed on 1 July 2019. Proff continued to deliver favourable results during the sale period. We are pleased to hand over Proff – a small, well-managed unit with operations in three countries – to Asiakastieto, a company that has what it takes and is looking forward to further developing Proff's operations. The sale is good for both Eniro and Proff.
Our Voice services are performing well. The dwindling directory information business in Sweden, Norway and Finland is declining, but not at the same pace as previously. The performance of our contact centre operations in Finland and Sweden, which were manifested through the acquisition of Elisa's contact centre business in Finland in 2018, is offsetting the effects of the declining market for directory information services and making our Voice services more stable, primarily in Finland. While the profitability of these operations is not as high as our directory information services, they provide favourable sales and earnings.
Operating revenue for the second quarter amounted to SEK 285 M (363), corresponding to a decline of 21%
compared with the same period a year ago. EBITDA for the second quarter amounted to SEK 36 M (61). However, the work to reduce the cost base remains successful and the EBITDA margin amounted to 12.6% (16.8%).
Although the transformation of Eniro has taken longer time than expected, our new offerings are now being well received and our order bookings are increasing. I remain convinced that Eniro has what it takes to achieve both growth and profitability in its core operations.
It has been a challenging and difficult process, but the conditions are now in place to achieve what we have long aimed to achieve: a growing Eniro in a growing market.
The next step will be to expand our marketing initiatives in order to provide our customers with a better understanding of what Eniro can offer, thereby strengthening our operations and creating satisfied customers.
Customer satisfaction has been my main focus during the three years at the company and I think that all of us at Eniro would say that the work on improving customer satisfaction now permeates the entire organisation. This bodes well for the future and I feel confident handing over the reins to Magdalena Bonde.

Örjan Frid, President and CEO
Operating revenue for the second quarter amounted to SEK 285 M (363), a decrease of 21%.
Currency effects on revenue were SEK 4 M (13).
Geographically, operating revenue is broken down into Sweden SEK 106 M (123), Norway SEK 71 M (87), Denmark SEK 47 M (50), Finland SEK 61 M (51), and Poland SEK 0 M (52).
Digital marketing includes the On-line search and Complementary digital marketing products revenue categories. Eniro's On-line search services are among the most visited sites in their respective markets and include eniro.se, gulesider.no, krak.dk, dgs.dk along with the mobile apps, including Eniro's local search app, Eniro Navigation and "Eniro På Sjön". Eniro's sites: proff.se, proff.no and proff.dk contain business information were included in Eniro's business until 1 July 2019.
Eniro's advertisers pay for rankings and exposure on hit lists. In Complementary digital marketing products, Eniro offers, for example, advertising solutions via third-party suppliers such as Google and Bing, display advertising via external networks and website products.
Operating revenue from Digital marketing amounted to SEK 205 M (285), a decrease of 28%. Of operating revenue, SEK 158 M (242) came from Online-search SEK 47 M (43) from Complementary digital marketing products.
Eniro has a new strategy and business model entail that Eniro will proceed from mainly offering exposure through its own channels to working with its customers' presence in all digital channels. The aim is to become the marketing partner for small and medium-size companies.
The transition to the new strategy of a broadened product offering and subscription-based contracts continues. Collectively, more than 95 % of the customer base in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark has changed to the new subscription-based contracts.
In the preceding year, Finland initiated sales of digital marketing under the 0100100 trademark. During the start-up, this operation was jointly recognized with Voice. Since the business has grown, it has now been separated and is recognized under digital marketing.
Digital marketing currently accounts for approximately 50% of the media market in Sweden and according to IRM's forecasts for 2019, the expectation is that this will grow further by more than 9%. Each week, Eniro's sites in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark have about six million unique visitors. This creates favorable conditions for Eniro's future development.
Eniro's new strategy and business model entail that Eniro will proceed from mainly offering exposure through its own channels to working with its customers' presence in all digital channels. The aim is to become the marketing partner for small and medium-size companies. These companies often lack the time and knowledge to be able to market themselves digitally. By supplementing Eniro's traditional On-line search digital services with "Närvarokollen", a product from our partner Yext, and other partner products such as Google AdWords/Bing Ads in Complementary digital marketing products, Eniro can help the customer to optimize their investment, thereby generating the best possible result.
In addition, the new business model is subscription based. The goal is that the sales staff will be able to increase focus on demonstrating the strength and advantages of Eniro's new offering to both new and existing customers.
The total number of customers for "Digital marketing" in the three Scandinavian countries amounted to approximately 76,000. At the beginning of the quarter, the number of customers amounted to approximately 80,000 and the customer base thus declined by approximately 5% during the quarter.
The sales organization has successively been adapted to meet new conditions with a new offering, new business model and a more value-generating approach. The aim is to create greater confidence and loyalty among customers. In this change, it has been necessary to implement several structural adaptions, which has led to a more efficient organization and a focus on growth, competence and customer value.
In "Voice", Eniro offers directory information via phone calls and text messaging (SMS), and certain contact center activities. In Sweden, Eniro is the market leader with its 118 118 directory information service. In addition to this, incoming phone calls are handled for other companies. In Finland, apart from the 0100100 directory information service, Eniro has a contact center operation that provides switchboard services and customer service on a contract basis. In Norway, Eniro is the majority owner of "1880 Nummeropplysningen AS" (the 1880 and 1888 directory information services).
Operating revenue from Voice amounted to SEK 80 M (78), an increase of 3%.
Market volumes for directory information services continue to decline due to increased digitalization. The contact center operation that Voice conducts on a contract basis for customers in Finland is growing and partly compensating for the decline in directory information business, a development that is also occurring to some extent in Sweden.

Q2|19
This interim report has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and IFRIC interpretations, as endorsed by the European Union (EU). The application of the accounting policies corresponds with those contained in the Annual Report for the financial year ended December 31, 2018 and should be read in combination with these. This quarterly report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34.
New standards that came into force in 2019: IFRS 16. The effects are described below.
IFRS 16 Leases is a new leasing standard that has replaced IAS 17 Leases along with the accompanying interpretations IFRIC 4, SIC-15 and SIC-17. The standard entails that nearly all leases has been recognized in the balance sheet since no difference is made between operational and financial leases. This accounting is based on the notion that the lessee has a right the use the asset during a specific period of time, and at the same time has an obligation to pay for this right. Contracts shorter than 12 months and terms and values under 50 KSEK are exempted. The standard is applicable for financial years beginning on January 1, 2019, and later. Prospective application is permitted.
IFRS 16 includes the right to lease offices, which, in accordance with the new standard, have been recognized as a tangible asset, in which the rental payments have been recognized as amortization. For Eniro, total assets have increased by about SEK 140 M regarding future payments of rents. The deviation from the estimate contained in the 2018 Year-end Report is attributable to higher rates of discount. There will be a redistribution of costs in the income statement, other operating expenses will decline and amortization will increase. During the January-march, amortization increased and operating costs declined by approximately SEK 25 M and interest expenses increased with SEK -4 M as an effect of IFRS 16.
Eniro has applied IFRS 16 as of the required application date, January 1, 2019, and will not restate comparative information.
Eniro reports its financial results distributed among the Local search and Voice business areas. Local search has cross-border functions for Products & Technology (formerly Digital Solutions), Sales and Marketing (formerly Nordic Sales), Human Resources, and Finance. The Voice business area is governed separately and is not an integrated part of the function-based organization.

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 ordinary shares, excluding treasury shares, before dilution and adjusted for bonus issue effect on new issue.
In calculating earnings per share after dilution, the average number of shares is adjusted for the effects of the potential dilution of ordinary shares associated with the convertible bond and the warrant program. 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 ordinary shares, excluding treasury shares, after full conversion and adjusted for bonus issue effect on new issue.

Eniro presents certain financial measures that are not defined in IFRS. Eniro believes that these measures provide valuable, complementary information to investors and to company management, as they enable assessment of Group's earnings and financial position. Since not all companies calculate financial measures in the same way, these are not always comparable with measures used by other companies. These financial measures shall therefore not be regarded as a substitute for the measures defined in IFRS.
