President & CEO's comments
Delivering on strategy
Our fourth quarter results again delivered a combination of organic and acquisition-led growth to generate higher sales and profits. Our strong cash flow generation and overall financial position are reflected in the proposed 5% higher annual dividend payment of SEK 11 per share, which is equivalent to a 57% pay-out ratio.
We are delivering on our strategic plans and moving towards our objective of being the leading digital entertainment company in each of our major markets. Our Nordic broadcasting business again delivered higher sales and profits, as the growth in our online businesses more than compensated for lower linear viewing levels and declining advertising markets. The Emerging Markets businesses grew their sales on a combined basis but higher profits in the free-TV business were offset by negative pay-TV earnings impacts. We have continued to enrich the content offering across all of our platforms with exclusive deals for premium sports and studio rights. Our commitment to show the best content on multiple devices reflects media consumption trends and has driven higher online and mobile subscriber volumes and viewing shares, and led to the even broader availability of our entertainment products on third party networks.
Russia
The law prohibiting the sale of advertising on pay-TV channels in Russia has taken effect from the beginning of 2015. An amendment to the law that would allow advertising on pay-TV channels with 75% Russian content is now pending Presidential signature. We are continuing to explore the options available to our Russian operations and holdings in order to comply with the amendments to the Russian law regarding foreign ownership of Russian mass media companies from the beginning of 2016. We are working with a range of potential solutions, in order to best protect the interests of the stakeholders in these entertainment businesses that we have built into some of the most popular in Russia.
FX & Outlook
We are being impacted by significant adverse FX movements and, especially, the impact of the appreciation of the US dollar on our group-wide programming costs, and the depreciation of the Russian ruble on our Russian pay-TV channel business. Based on these changes, our US dollar content costs would be inflated by approximately SEK 200m in 2015, net of forward currency hedges, and the profits for our pay-TV emerging markets business would be negatively impacted by approximately SEK 100m in 2015. We are accelerating and extending actions to balance costs and optimize investments across the Group. The operations continue to perform well independent of the currency effects.
We are both developing our existing businesses and acquiring complementary new companies. As a result, we already have established digital leadership positions in a number of fields and will add to these across our unique footprint. We are offsetting falling linear viewing with higher prices as linear TV continues to offer attractive return on investment for advertisers, and we are attracting larger and larger online audiences, while remaining well positioned to capitalize on media spend growth in the emerging markets. All of which is contributing to our positive operating performance.
Jørgen Madsen Lindemann
President & Chief Executive Officer
"The results for the quarter again demonstrate the progress that we are making towards our strategic goals. We do have substantial FX headwinds right now, but the operations continue to perform well."
Significant Events during and after the quarter
1 October - Nickelodeon content on Viaplay
MTG announced that it had secured the exclusive stand-alone video on-demand rights to programming from top children's entertainment brand Nickelodeon in the Nordic region until 2020.

The legislation will come into force from 1 January 2016. Please see www.ctcmedia.ru regarding the change in legislation and the actions being taken by CTC Media. MTG is also working independently with its own financial and legal advisers to decide on what actions will be taken regarding its Russian holdings and operations.
1 December - Raduga TV to close down
MTG announced that the Russian digital satellite TV platform Raduga TV would stop its broadcasting services on 5 December 2014 as it had not been granted the required broadcasting license from the local media regulator. MTG also announced that it would launch five new High Definition pay-TV channels in Russia during 2015.

Operating Review
Group sales were up 6% in the quarter and up 11% for the full year at constant FX, and up 2% and 4% on an organic basis for the two respective periods. The performance primarily reflected the growth in the Nordic pay-TV and Nice Entertainment content businesses.
Operating costs were up 6% in the quarter and up 12% for the full year at constant FX, and up 2% and 5% on an organic basis for the two respective periods. The increase primarily reflected the growth in the Nordic pay-TV business, investments in MTGx, and the consolidation of acquired businesses. Operating income, when excluding associated company income and non-recurring items, amounted to SEK 468m (461) in the quarter and SEK 1,272m (1,309) for the full year, with operating margins of 10.7% (11.3) and 8.1% (9.3) for the two respective periods.
* Quarterly fluctuations reflect seasonality of advertising markets
Net interest income totalled SEK 14m (-13) in the quarter and SEK -1m (-46) for the full year. Other financial items amounted to SEK 20m (41) and SEK -23m (34), and included a SEK -1m (26) non-cash impact in the quarter and SEK -34m (-13) for the full year due to the change in value of the option element of the 250m CDON Group convertible bond, which was repurchased in December. The Group reported income before tax of SEK 645m (445) in the quarter and SEK 1,652m (1,726) for the full year, with net income of 471m (261) in the quarter and SEK 1,172m (1,168) for the full year; and basic earnings per share of SEK 6.70 (3.68) and SEK 17.10 (16.39) for the two respective periods.

| EBIT margin | 19.8% | 18.6% | 15.4% | 16.3% |
The sales decline at constant FX reflected the combination of lower sales in Sweden, stable sales in Denmark and higher sales in Norway. The Swedish and Danish TV advertising markets are estimated to have declined while the Norwegian market is estimated to have grown.
Operating costs were down at constant FX, as the Group continued to balance investments with market conditions and audience share development.
The Swedish and Norwegian media house audience shares were down y-o-y, while the Danish share was up.

| EBIT margin | 12.5% | 12.0% | 12.3% | 11.6% |
The sales growth in constant FX continued to be driven by the expansion of Viaplay. Operating costs were also up, and reflected the ongoing investments in content, technology and marketing.
The total premium subscriber base was up quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q) and y-o-y, as the growth in the third party network subscriber base more than offset the ongoing decline in the satellite base. Premium satellite ARPU continued to rise to SEK 5,254 (5,075), and was up 2% y-o-y at constant FX following the previously introduced price increases.

| EBIT margin | 12.0% | 10.6% | 5.4% | 8.8% |
The sales decline at constant FX primarily reflected lower sales in the Czech Republic, which were only partly offset by growth in the Baltics and Bulgaria. Operating costs were reduced in the Czech Republic in particular and only partly offset by the launch in Tanzania (January 2014).
* The source for Bulgarian audience data has been changed as of Q4 2014 from GARB to Nielsen's Mediaresearch, which is a well-established international data source. All four quarters in 2014 as well as the full year figure are now based on the new source. The universe has also expanded from Q1 2014 to include seven new channels.
Sales for the Baltic free-TV operations were up 2% at constant FX. Sales were up in Estonia and Latvia but down in Lithuania. The Latvian and Lithuanian TV advertising markets are estimated to have declined in the quarter while the Estonian TV advertising market is estimated to have grown. The media house audience shares were down in Estonia and Lithuania but up in Latvia, and MTG remains the largest media house in each of the Baltic countries.
Sales for the Czech operation were down 15% at constant FX and reflected tough y-o-y comparisons and the highly competitive market environment. The Czech TV advertising market is estimated to have declined in the quarter, while MTG's media house audience share was up.
The Bulgarian operation generated 12% constant FX sales growth, following both organic growth and the consolidation of Net Info (November 2013). The Bulgarian TV advertising market is estimated to have been flat in the quarter, and MTG's media house audience share reached 41.1%.

| EBIT | 25 | 51 | 104 | 129 |
| EBIT margin | 7.1% | 16.7% | 8.5% | 11.9% |
Please note that MTG's 50% ownership interest in Raduga has been accounted for as an equity participation with effect from 1 January 2014 due to changes in IFRS rules. Results for prior periods have been adjusted in the Group's reporting for the purposes of comparison. Raduga ceased broadcasting on 5 December 2014, which resulted in a net positive impact of SEK 18m in Q4 2014.
The sales and cost growth at constant FX reflected the consolidation of Trace (July 2014).
The wholesale mini-pay channel business has added 39 million subscriptions y-o-y, with an underlying decrease of 3 million when excluding the contribution from Trace. The combined satellite pay-TV subscriber base continued to decline, which was primarily due to the geopolitical situation in Ukraine.
The non-recurring and non-cash impairment of the intangible assets related to the satellite platforms in Russia and Ukraine (in Q4 2013 and Q2 2014, respectively) are not included in the segment operating results.
Please see page 12 (Other Information) regarding the risks and uncertainties arising from the amendments to the Russian Mass Media law.
* Including Trace from Q3 2014.
** Subscriber numbers have been restated to exclude Raduga subscribers following the closure of the business.
CTC Media
The Group reports its equity participation in the earnings of CTC Media, Inc. with a one quarter time lag due to the fact that CTC Media reports its financial results after MTG. MTG's participation in CTC Media's US dollar reported results is translated into Swedish krona at the average currency exchange rate for the MTG reporting period. The Group owned 37.9% (37.9%) of CTC Media's issued shares at the end of the quarter. CTC Media reported its third quarter financial results on 29 October 2014. Please see www.ctcmedia.ru for further information about CTC Media.
Please see page 12 (Other Information) regarding the risks and uncertainties that stems from the new Russian Mass Media law.
CTC Media dividends received by MTG
* Including MTG's USD 11.5m Q1 2014 participation in USD 29.9m of non-recurring charges incurred by associated company CTC Media in Q4 2013.

The sales growth at constant FX was primarily organic but also reflected the consolidation of Nice Entertainment (November 2013). The organic growth in the content production businesses continued to be very healthy driven by Strix Drama, Paprika Latino and DRG, while the radio businesses reported double digit growth.
The increase in operating costs also reflected the organic growth, the consolidation of the acquired businesses, and ongoing investments by MTGx.

Related Party Transactions
Related party transactions are of the same character and of similar amounts as the transactions described in the 2013 Annual Report.
Parent Company
Modern Times Group MTG AB is the Group's parent company and responsible for Group-wide management, administration and finance functions.
| 2014 | 2013 | 2014 | 2013 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (SEKm) | Oct-Dec | Oct-Dec | Jan-Dec | Jan-Dec |
| Net sales | 12 | 10 | 45 | 46 |
| Net interest and other financial terms | 123 | 122 | 435 | 536 |
| Income before tax and appropriations | 49 | 40 | 207 | 318 |
Net interest and other financial items were stable in the quarter and lower for the full year, which primarily reflected the lower prevailing interest rate levels. The parent company had cash and cash equivalents of SEK 402m (429) at the end of the period, compared to SEK 127m at the end of the third quarter of 2014. SEK 5,750m (4,800) of the SEK 5,750m of total available credit facilities, including a SEK 250m overdraft facility, was unutilised at the end of the reporting period.

Other Information
Accounting policies
This Interim report has been prepared according to 'IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting' and 'The Annual Accounts Act'. The interim report for the parent company has been prepared according to the Annual Accounts Act - Chapter 9 'Interim Report'.
The Group's consolidated accounts and the parent company accounts have been prepared according to the same accounting policies and calculation methods as were applied in the preparation of the 2013 Annual Report, with the exception of the consolidation of joint ventures, which, in accordance with IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, is accounted for using the equity method instead of the proportional method. The figures for 2013 have been restated accordingly for the purpose of comparison. Further, IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements replaced IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, which identifies the concept of control. The new standard has not had any impact on which companies are consolidated in the Group's accounts.
Risks and uncertainties
Significant risks and uncertainties exist for the Group and the parent company. MTG has large scale business interests in Russia, which are affected by recent amendments to the Russian Mass Media Law to reduce the permitted level of aggregate foreign ownership in Russian mass media companies to 20% direct or indirect ownership or control from the beginning of 2016. These changes apply to both MTG's pay-TV businesses and to MTG's 38% shareholding in CTC Media Inc. ("CTC Media"), the Delaware (US) registered and NASDAQ (US) listed company that owns the leading Russian independent media company. As of today, the existing ownership structures of these businesses do not comply with the amended Law and therefore will need to take steps to come into compliance with the Law before the end of 2015. Furthermore, the EU and US have imposed sanctions on named parties in Russia that have ownership interests in Telcrest Investments Limited, which owns approximately 25% of CTC Media, and could therefore limit the potential outcomes for CTC Media. MTG is working closely with its advisors to best protect its various Russian business interests, but changes to the structure or ownership of CTC Media and MTG's pay-TV businesses could result in loss of value for MTG shareholders.
The risks and uncertainties also include the prevailing economic and business environments in other markets and the impact of the Eurozone, as well as the Crimean crisis; commercial risks related to expansion into new territories; other political and legislative risks related to changes in rules and regulations in the various territories in which the Group operates; exposure to foreign exchange rate movements and the US dollar, Russian Rubles and Euro linked currencies in particular; and the emergence of new technologies and competitors. Risks and uncertainties are also described in more detail in the 2013 Annual Report, which is available at www.mtg.com.
2015 Annual General Meeting
The 2015 Annual General Meeting will be held on Tuesday 19 May 2015 in Stockholm. Shareholders wishing to have matters considered at the Meeting should submit their proposals in writing to [email protected] or to The Company Secretary, Modern Times Group MTG AB, Box 2094, SE-103 13 Stockholm, Sweden, at least seven weeks before the Meeting, in order that such proposals may be included in the notices to the Meeting. Further details of the time and place, and when and how to register will be published in advance of the Meeting.
The Board of Directors will propose the payment of an annual ordinary cash dividend of SEK 11.00 (10.50) per share to the Annual General Meeting of shareholders in May. The total proposed dividend payment would therefore amount to approximately SEK 734m (700), based on the maximum potential number of outstanding ordinary shares. The Board of Directors will propose that the remainder of the Group's retained earnings for the year ended 31 December 2014 be carried forward into the accounts for 2015. The proposal is in line with the dividend policy to distribute a minimum of 30 per cent of each year's recurring net profit to shareholders in the form of an annual ordinary cash dividend.
