Per Kogut, CEO at NNIT comments: "In our first year as a listed company, the performance has been reassuring and we have delivered on our targets. Despite a competitive market and currency headwinds, we have been able to deliver organic revenue growth of 7.9% and an operating profit margin of 10.3%.

Our encouraging results – including the strong increase in free cash flow of 38% - allow us to propose a dividend of DKK 4.00 per share corresponding to a pay-out ratio of 46% of net profit."

Throughout 2015 NNIT has worked on optimizing the capacity utilization of our own data center as well as achieving the optimal split between our own and rented data center capacity. Based on this NNIT decided not to invest in a new data center in 2015. A future decision on building a new data center will depend on the character and the timing of new outsourcing contracts. If NNIT decides to build another data center to support growth, NNIT expects additional investments of around DKK 250m over a three-year-period.

Highlights

Below are some of the key highlights for Q4 2015, 2015 and the order backlog at the beginning of Q1 2016.

Sales

The order backlog for 2016 at the beginning of Q1 2016 increased by DKK 104m to DKK 2,020m corresponding to 5.4% compared with order backlog for 2015 at the beginning of Q1 2015. Most of the order backlog increase came from existing customers either in the form of additional projects or extensions of existing contracts. New contracts have primarily been in the small to mid-size range.

At the beginning of Q1 2016 the order backlog for 2017 and 2018 was 14.5% lower than the order backlog for 2016 and 2017 at the beginning of Q1 2015. The decrease is primarily due to expiration of several large infrastructure agreements in 2017 and 2018 where renegotiations/retendering have not yet been initiated. Prolongation/rewinning of these contracts will increase the backlog.

Key wins in Q4 2015:

  • New IT infrastructure agreement with E-nettet representing a medium-sized double-digit DKK million amount over a 5-year-period in the finance customer group
  • New agreement on development and maintenance of shared business platform with Købstædernes Forsikring and Popermo Forsikring representing a mediumsized double-digit DKK million amount over a 3-year-period in the finance group
  • Extension of an infrastructure outsourcing agreement with Novo Nordisk Region China, fully operated by NNIT's Chinese subsidiary, representing a double-digit DKK million amount over a 3-year-period
  • Extension and expansion of an infrastructure outsourcing agreement with an Enterprise customer representing a double-digit DKK million amount over a 4 year-period
  • New agreement on implementation and subsequently operation of a SAP Hana solution with an Enterprise customer representing a double-digit DKK million amount over a 2-year-period
  • Within life sciences three Identification of Medicinal Products (IDMP) analysis projects for international life sciences customers together representing a doubledigit DKK million amount over a 1-year-period. Further an agreement on application maintenance and hosting of an integrated clinical environment (ICE) representing a high single-digit DKK million over a 4-year-period

New international partnership within life sciences

Kinapse, a UK based global provider of expert clinical, regulatory and pharmacovigilance advisory and operational services, and NNIT have entered into a worldwide partnership with a joint go-to-market offering targeted at the global R&D life science customer-segment. The partnership will concentrate on delivering Regulatory & Pharmacovigilance Operation as one service using the Business Process Outsourcing services of Kinapse and the Application Outsourcing /Infrastructure Outsourcing services of NNIT.

Enterprise Hybrid Cloud and certified Microsoft Cloud Service provider

NNIT has launched an Enterprise Hybrid Cloud solution to deliver controlled IaaS (infrastructure-as-a-service). It enables customers to manage cloud services directly from a portal, as well as the ability to turn capacity up or down according to current needs. The enterprise hybrid cloud combines the best of the cloud by integrating the public cloud with the customer's private IT

environments. The hybrid cloud solution is especially attractive to organizations that want to explore the flexibility and scalability of the public cloud in a controlled and secure manner, while keeping the ability to maintain in-house capacity for mission-critical applications. The public cloud part will be based on Microsoft Azure, and NNIT has therefore been awarded Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider status. NNIT becomes a Tier-1 partner, which allows the company to directly manage its customers' Microsoft Cloud lifecycle.

Operational excellence program

To secure and further improve NNIT's competiveness and to offset market price pressure NNIT will initiate an Operational Excellence Program. The aim of the program is to identify and implement cost reductions and to further implement lean processes, automation, tool optimization, organizational optimization, while still maintaining quality. The operational excellence program will deliver benefits over time and is expected to be operating profit neutral in 2016.

Increased focus on international life sciences and organization alignment

To further support NNIT's growth in the important international life sciences market, the company has decided to further consolidate its life sciences delivery and sales organizations. The two units will now report into the Head of Solutions, Senior Vice President, Søren Luplau-Pagh, and maintain responsibility for executing NNIT's growth strategy in the vital life sciences market while continually strengthening and developing the company's footprint in this market. At the same time Senior Vice President, Head of Sales, Michael Bjerregaard will leave NNIT. He will be replaced by Jacob Hahn Michelsen, who also joins NNIT Group Management. Jacob Hahn Michelsen is an NNIT veteran who has been responsible for NNIT's Novo Nordisk Group sales for the past 4 years.

* Constant currencies measured using average exchange rates for Q4 2014 and 2014, respectively.

Revenue increased by 4.1% in constant currencies in Q4 2015 despite a strong comparison base in Q4 2014. 2015 revenue increased by 7.0% in constant currencies and 7.9% in reported currencies compared with 2014. The Danish IT-service market is according to International Data Corporation (IDC) expected to have grown by 1.5% in 2015. NNIT has gained market share for more than ten consecutive years.

Cost of goods sold increased by 2.4% in Q4 2015 and by 5.5% in 2015 in constant currencies compared with the same periods last year. This led to a gross profit margin of 22.7% in Q4 2015 (21.4% in Q4 2014) and 21.0% in 2015 (19.9% in 2014).

The increase in cost of goods sold was mainly driven by revenue growth, costs related to the IPO incentive program (initiated in March 2015) as well as increased rental costs related to the expansion of facilities in Denmark.

In reported currencies, cost of goods sold further increased by DKK 46.7m in 2015 due to the increase in exchange rates in NNIT's key sourcing locations i.e. China and Philippines versus the Danish kroner as well as the increase in costs of software/hardware purchased in US dollars. This was partly offset by gains on hedges, which are however reported under net financials. Despite the currency headwind the

gross profit margin was unchanged at 19.9% in reported currencies due to a number of cost and efficiency initiatives taken in Q2 2015.

Sales and marketing costs increased by 15.1% in Q4 2015 and 13.9% in 2015, both in constant currencies. This was primarily due to a strengthening of the sales force to support future growth, especially within international life sciences. The IPO incentive program also impacted sales and marketing costs.

Administrative expenses increased by 10.2% in Q4 2015 and 12.5% in 2015, both in constant currencies. The increase in both Q4 2015 and 2015 was primarily due to the IPO incentive program and additional costs related to being a listed company such as new functions within treasury, investor relations and legal compliance.

A strong Q4 2015 ensured an increase in operating profit of 8.6% to DKK 97.7m in constant currencies corresponding to an operating profit margin of 13.6% which was 0.6pp above Q4 2014. In 2015 operating profit increased by 13.0% to DKK 299.9m in constant currencies corresponding to an operating profit margin of 11.6% which was 0.6pp higher than in 2014.

In reported currencies, operating profit increased by 2.9% to DKK 92.5m in Q4 2015 corresponding to an operating profit margin of 12.8% which was only 0.3pp lower than Q4 2014. In 2015 operating profit increased by 1.4% to DKK 269.1m corresponding to an operating profit margin of 10.3% which was 0.7pp lower than in 2014. Operating profit in 2015 was negatively impacted by DKK 30.8m due to currency headwind of a negative impact of 1.3pp. This was only to a minor extent offset by a gain on hedges of DKK 6.8m under net financials since NNIT was under Novo Nordisk's hedging program until the IPO in March 2016. Therefore most of the currency exposure in 2015 was not hedged until the end of January 2015, where the Chinese yuan, the Philippine peso, the US dollar and the Swiss franc had already appreciated significantly. Despite the currency headwind the strong underlying development in NNIT's operations and cost and efficiency initiatives secured an operating profit margin of 10.3% in 2015 in reported currencies which is above NNIT's long-term target of at least 10%.

Net financials decreased by DKK 2.1m to DKK -0.5m in Q4 2015 whereas net financials improved by DKK 0.7m to DKK 3.1m in 2015. Net financials were impacted by net fair value adjustment of Novo Nordisk shares and the obligations related to long-term incentive programs from previous years which in Q4 2015 had a positive net effect of DKK 0.2m, while the effects in 2015 were positive with DKK 4.1m. Gains from currency hedges were DKK 0.8m in Q4 2015 and DKK 6.8m in 2015. Various financial fees related to being a listed company and bank charges negatively impacted Q4 2015 by DKK 1.5m and 2015 by DKK 7.7m.

Taxes in Q4 2015 were DKK 23.8m representing an increase of DKK 3.8m compared with Q4 2014, while taxes in 2015 were DKK 59.8m which was an increase of DKK 1.4m compared with 2014. The increase is caused by the development in profits before tax and an adjustment of current and deferred tax regarding previous years partly countered by the reduction of the Danish corporate tax rate from 24.5 percent to 23.5 percent.

*Constant currencies measured using average exchange rates for Q4 2014 and 2014, respectively.

Revenue growth in Q4 2015 of 4.1% in constant currencies was primarily fuelled by double digit growth in the enterprise and finance customer groups whereas growth in life sciences eased off due to a very strong comparison base in Q4 2014 with a large non-recurring project with a Danish life sciences customer. Full year revenue growth reached 7.0% in constant currencies and 7.9% in reported currencies driven by strong growth in the non-Novo Nordisk Group life sciences, public and finance customer group.

Life sciences:

Revenue in Q4 2015 increased by DKK 11.0m corresponding to 2.4% in constant currencies compared with Q4 2014. Revenue in 2015 increased by DKK 82.3m corresponding to 5.3% in constant currencies compared with 2014. The increase in 2015 was driven by a growth of 13.3% in constant currencies from both Danish and international non-Novo Nordisk Group life sciences customers.

Revenue from non-Novo Nordisk Group life sciences customers in Q4 2015 was in line with the same period last year. A number of new contracts and customers increased revenue which was however countered by a large non-recurring project at a Danish customer in 2014.

Revenue from the Novo Nordisk Group was affected by the discontinuation of reinvoicing of software licenses. Adjusted for this, revenue growth from the Novo Nordisk Group was 4.3% in Q4 2015 (2.9% before adjustment) and 6.0% in 2015 (3.5% before adjustment), both in constant currencies. The discontinuation had no effect on operating profit.

The share of NNIT's revenue from customers outside the Novo Nordisk Group in 2015 reached 49.4% compared with 47.7% in 2014.

Enterprise:

Revenue increased by DKK 9.6m corresponding to 10.9% in Q4 2015 and by DKK 12.8m corresponding to 3.4% in 2015 in constant currencies compared with the same periods last year. Revenue growth in Q4 2015 was driven by increased revenue from

existing operations customers. Revenue in 2014 was influenced by a one-off compensation to NNIT for an early termination of a contract in Q1 2014. Adjusted for this compensation, revenue growth was 5.4% in 2015 in constant currencies.

Public:

Revenue in Q4 2015 increased by DKK 2.3m corresponding to 2.6% in constant currencies compared with Q4 2014.

Revenue in 2015 increased by DKK 49.0m corresponding to 15.0% in constant currencies compared with 2014. The increase in 2015 was mainly due to several new contracts entered into in the last three quarters of 2014, including ATP, the Danish tax authorities and the Danish courts. Additionally, in Q1 2014 a DKK 25m and in Q4 a DKK 10m reversal of revenue on a disputed contract was made and adjusted for this the revenue growth was 3.9% in 2015.

Finance:

Revenue in Q4 2015 increased by DKK 5.2m corresponding to 10.8% and by DKK 24.5m corresponding to 14.7% in 2015 in constant currencies compared with the same periods last year. The increase was primarily due to expansion of several existing customer contracts.

Order backlog

NNIT's order backlog for 2016 at the beginning of Q1 2016 amounted to DKK 2,020m which is an increase of 5.4% compared with the order backlog for 2015 at the same time last year. The increase was primarily due to expansion of contracts with customers in the enterprise and finance customer groups as well as extension and expansion of infrastructure and support contracts with the Novo Nordisk Group. This is partly countered by the expiring of contracts within the public customer group.

At the beginning of Q1 2016 the order backlog for 2017 and 2018 was 14.5% lower than for 2016 and 2017 at the same time last year. The decrease was primarily due to the expiring of several large infrastructure agreements in 2017 and 2018 where renegotiations/retendering have not yet been initiated. Prolongation/rewinning of these contracts will increase the backlog.

Costs

Total cost increased by 5.3% in Q4 2015 and 8.7% in 2015 in reported currencies compared with the same periods last year. The cost increase was primarily related to increased employee costs driven by revenue growth. Furthermore the development reflects costs related to being a listed company including costs related to the IPO incentive program, one-off costs related to the expansion of office facilities in Denmark as well as a strengthening of the sales force to support future growth especially within international life sciences. Finally, costs in reported currencies were impacted by the increase in exchange rates in NNIT's key sourcing locations i.e. China and Philippines versus the Danish kroner, as well as the increase in costs of software/hardware purchased in US dollars.

Employees, end of period

In Q4 2015 the number of employees increased by 142 FTE corresponding to 5.9% compared with the same period last year. Almost three quarters of the net FTE growth was outside Denmark, in line with the long-term offshoring strategy, primarily in Czech Republic (65 FTEs), China (35 FTEs) and the Philippines (14 FTEs).

Operating profit

Operating profit in Q4 2015 increased by 8.6% in constant currencies, however only by 2.9% in reported currencies compared with Q4 2014 due to currency headwind in NNIT's key sourcing locations. This led to an operating profit margin of 12.8% in reported currencies which was 0.3pp below the operating profit margin in Q4 2014. In constant currencies, operating profit margin was 13.6% which is 0.6pp higher than Q4 2014. Currency headwind primarily from the Chinese yuan had a negative impact on operating profit margin of 0.8pp.

In 2015 operating profit increased by 13.0% in constant currencies (reported currencies 1.4%) compared with 2014. This led to an operating profit margin of 11.6% in constant currencies which was 0.6pp above operating profit margin in 2014. Impacted by the currency headwind operating profit margin in reported currencies decreased by 0.7pp to 10.3%, however still above NNIT's long-term target of at least 10%.

2860 Søborg www.nnit.com

Net profit

Net financials in Q4 2015 decreased by DKK 2.1m to DKK -0.5m, while net financials in 2015 improved by DKK 0.7m to DKK 3.1m. Net financials were impacted by net fair value adjustment of Novo Nordisk shares and the obligations related to long-term incentive programs from previous years which in Q4 2015 had a positive net effect of DKK 0.2m, while 2015 was impacted positive by net DKK 4.1m. Gains from currency hedges were DKK 0.8m in Q4 2015 and DKK 6.8m in 2015. Various financial fees related to being a listed company and bank charges negatively impacted Q4 2015 by DKK 1.5m and in 2015 by DKK 7.7m.

Taxes in Q4 2015 were DKK 23.8m representing an increase of DKK 3.8m compared with Q4 2014, while taxes in 2015 were DKK 59.8m which was an increase of DKK 1.4m compared with 2014. The increase is caused by the development in profits before tax and an adjustment of current and deferred tax regarding previous years partly countered by the reduction of the Danish corporate tax rate from 24.5 percent to 23.5 percent.

Net profit in Q4 2015 was DKK 68.2m corresponding to a decrease of 4.7% compared with Q4 2014, while net profit in 2015 was DKK 212.4m corresponding to an increase of 1.5% compared with 2014.

Balance sheet

Total assets as of December 31, 2015 increased with DKK 53m to DKK 1,336m compared with DKK 1,282m as of December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily due to increased trade receivables, deferred tax, and cash and cash equivalents countered by work in progress.

Net financial cash position as of December 31, 2015 increased by DKK 33.4m to a net cash position of DKK 131.0m compared with December 31, 2014. The increase was due to net profits from operating activities partly countered by payment of ordinary dividend of DKK 83.7m in February 2015 and the acquisition of NNIT shares of DKK 93.8m in March 2015 in connection with the IPO incentive program.

Equity as of December 31, 2015, was DKK 741m, which was an increase of DKK 56.6m, compared with December 31, 2014. This increase was due to net profits from operating activities partly countered by payment of dividends and the acquisition of NNIT shares in March 2015.

Investments

Investments in Q4 2015 amounted to DKK 30.0m compared with DKK 25.6m in Q4 2014. Investments in 2015 thereby amounted to DKK 136.0m compared with DKK 155.2m in 2014.

The decrease in investments was mainly related to the lack of new large outsourcing contracts.

Throughout 2015 NNIT has worked on optimizing the capacity utilization of our own data center as well as achieving the optimal split between our own and rented data center capacity. Based on this NNIT decided not to invest in a new data center in 2015. A future decision on building a new data center will depend on the character and the timing of new outsourcing contracts.

Free cash flow

DKKm, reported currencies

Free cash flow in Q4 2015 was DKK 88.3m which was DKK 39.2m higher than in Q4 2014 due to an improvement in working capital mainly due to outstanding trade payables related to investments in Q3 2014 which were paid in Q4 2014. Also impacting free cash flow was a lower level of investments in the second half of the year of 2015. Free cash flow in 2015 was DKK 210.8m which was DKK 58.2m higher than in 2014. With the strong development in free cash flow cash to earnings increased from 73% in 2014 to 99% in 2015, well above NNIT's long-term target of 80%, but also illustrating the inherent volatility in the annual cash conversion ratio.

*Constant currencies measured using average exchange rates for Q4 2014 and 2014, respectively.

IT Operation Services revenue increased by 4.7% in Q4 2015 and 3.7% in 2015 in constant currencies compared with the same periods last year. The increase was primarily driven by some of the larger outsourcing customers outside the Novo Nordisk Group.

Revenue from the Novo Nordisk Group was affected by the discontinuation of reinvoicing of software licenses. Adjusted for this discontinuation, revenue growth was

2860 Søborg www.nnit.com

5.0% in Q4 2015 and 5.1% in 2015 in constant currencies, still well above the market growth. The discontinuation had no effect on operating profit.

Operating profit in Q4 2015 showed a strong growth of 27.0% to DKK 64.7m in constant currencies and 17.6% to DKK 60.0m in reported currencies. Thus, the efficiency initiatives implemented earlier in the year to counter the currency headwind and a lower than expected revenue growth is now having the expected positive impact on operating profits. In 2015 operating profit increased by 5.2% to DKK 198.2m in constant currencies whereas operating profit decreased by 8.6% to DKK 172.2m in reported currencies leading to an operating profit margin of 9.9%. Operating profit in reported currencies was impacted by currency headwind. The negative impact on operating profit from currency headwind was partly offset by gains on hedges, which are however reported under net financials.

After a difficult start to the year the implemented efficiency measures have ensured a strong close to the year in IT Operation Services, also ensuring a balanced capacity level entering 2016.

IT Solution Services

* Constant currencies measured using average exchange rates for Q4 2014 and 2014, respectively.

IT Solution Services revenue in constant currencies increased by 2.7% in Q4 2015 and by 14.4% in 2015 compared with the same periods last year. The modest revenue increase in Q4 2015 was due to a modest increase from the Novo Nordisk Group where the "Q4 effect" was particularly strong in Q4 2014. In addition, increased complexity of a fixed price project resulted in additional hours and costs without revenue. This also explains why costs increased more than revenue in Q4.

The revenue increase in 2015 was primarily driven by new customers in the life sciences, finance and public customer groups as well as the Novo Nordisk Group. Revenue in 2014 was also influenced by certain one-time events, principally the reversal of revenue on the disputed contract which has gone into arbitration. This is partially offset by compensation received for early termination of another contract. Adjusted for this, revenue growth in 2015 was 10.2% in constant currencies.

Operating profit in Q4 2015 decreased by 15.4% to DKK 32.9m in constant currencies due to an increase in costs of 6.6% primarily caused by increased complexity of the

mentioned fixed price project. Despite this, IT Solution Services through strong execution of other projects was able to deliver an operating profit margin of 14.3% in constant currencies (reported currencies 14.0%). Operating profit increased by 32.2% to DKK 101.7m in constant currencies leading to an operating profit margin of 12.0% in constant currencies (reported currencies 11.3%).

Events after balance sheet date

There have been no events after the balance sheet date with significant impact on the assessment of NNIT's financial position as of December 31, 2015.

Outlook for 2016

Our outlook for 2016 is based on the increase in order backlog for 2016 and expected revenue from our pipeline of potential orders. At the beginning of Q1 2016, the backlog for 2016 was DKK 2,020m, an increase of 5.4% compared with the same time last year.

The expectations are based on a number of important assumptions, including that relevant macroeconomic trends will not significantly change business conditions for NNIT during 2016, that business performance, customer and competitor actions will remain stable and that currency exchange rates, especially the Chinese yuan, Euro, Czech koruna, Philippine peso, US dollar and the Swiss franc, will remain at the current levels versus Danish kroner (as of January 20, 2016). To mitigate volatility in exchange rates NNIT has entered into hedge contracts as illustrated below.

The current expectations summarized:

*Constant currencies measured using average exchange rates for 2015.

**Based on exchange rates as of January 20, 2016.

***Re-investments and new customer investments in the short-term are expected to be 5-6 percent of total revenue. Throughout 2015 NNIT has worked on optimizing the capacity utilization of our own data center as well as achieving the optimal split between our own and rented data center capacity. Based on this NNIT decided not to invest in a new data center in 2015. A future decision on building a new data center will depend on the character and the timing of new outsourcing contracts. If NNIT decides to build another data center to support growth, NNIT expects additional investments of around DKK 250m over a three-year-period.

Currency development

NNIT has a net cost exposure in the Chinese yuan, the Philippine peso, the Swiss franc the US dollar and therefore the appreciation of these currencies versus Danish kroner has had a negative impact on reported operating profit and a positive impact on NNIT's reported revenue.

During Q4 2015 the US dollar, the Chinese yuan, the Philippine peso, the Swiss franc and Czech koruna have been volatile, but around the level of Q3 2015.

Since the end of January 2015, NNIT has hedged 90% of its net exposure in Chinese yuan (CNY hedged with CNH (CNY offshore)), Philippine peso (PHP proxy hedged with USD) and US dollar in NNIT US for the coming 12 months. From April 20, 2015 and onwards NNIT has entered into hedging agreements 14 months ahead. During November 2015 NNIT initiated hedging of the Czech koruna (CZK) due to an expectation of increased CZK currency exposure and the risk of discontinuation of the EUR/CZK floor. NNIT hedges 90% of the CZK net exposure 14 months ahead.

Contingent liabilities and legal proceeding

Contingent liabilities

In 2014 the Court of Justice of the European Union passed a preliminary ruling (C-464/12) rejecting the Danish VAT practice previously applied by the Danish Tax Authorities, which required VAT to be charged on the provision of administration services to pension companies, in a case involving ATP PensionService A/S.

As a result of the preliminary ruling, two pension companies in 2014 requested that NNIT refunds VAT collected on IT services provided by NNIT. Since NNIT has paid forward the VAT to the Danish Tax Authorities, NNIT has requested the Danish Tax Authorities to suspend the limitation period and reassess the VAT returns.

On November 25, 2015, the Danish Tax Authorities published administrative guidelines (in Danish "styresignaler") based on the ATP PensionServices preliminary ruling. The guidelines however, do not clarify whether all or parts of the IT services provided by NNIT to the two pension companies are to be regarded as administration services and hence VAT exempted.

NNIT does not expect the requests to have any material effect on the financial position and operating results of NNIT A/S as the terms of the customer contracts with the two pension companies allow NNIT to pass on the net effects of any new or amended taxes in respect of the IT services provided to the two customers. Consequently, no provision has been made.

Legal proceeding

NNIT is currently involved in a legal dispute with a customer in our public customer group regarding the delivery of a supply and logistics IT system. The parties disagree as to which party is responsible for the delay. In April 2014, the customer terminated the agreement, alleging material breach as a particular delivery milestone was delayed and claiming that the solution was defective. NNIT disagrees with the basis for the customer's termination of the contract and believes they were not entitled to do so

2860 Søborg www.nnit.com

under the terms of the contract. In June 2014, the customer initiated arbitration proceedings in Copenhagen, Denmark. The arbitration dispute in question is still in its preparatory stages and therefore NNIT cannot reliably predict the potential outcome of the arbitration dispute and/or the time frame for the resolution of the arbitration dispute.

In the audited consolidated financial statements for 2014 NNIT reversed DKK 35m of revenue previously recognized in connection with the contract to which the dispute relates. NNIT estimates that in the event that the arbitration award is granted entirely in favor of the counterparty, it would reduce NNIT's operating profit by approximately DKK 87m (a cash outflow of DKK 74m) plus costs of arbitration incurred and/or interest.

The updated estimate takes into account and is additional to the reversal of revenue previously recognized. In the event that the arbitration award is granted entirely in NNIT's favor based on the revised pleadings, NNIT estimates that this would increase the operating profit by approximately DKK 51m (a cash inflow of DKK 64m), excluding any costs of arbitration incurred and/or interest awarded to NNIT. NNIT currently expects a final ruling by the arbitration tribunal earliest at the end of 2016.

Note 5

Currency hedging

NNIT's objective is at any time to limit the company's financial risks.

NNIT is exposed to exchange rate risks in the countries where NNIT has its main activities. The majority of NNIT's sales are in DKK and EUR, implying limited foreign exchange risk, due to the parent company's functional currency being DKK and Denmark's fixed-rate policy towards EUR. NNIT's foreign exchange risk therefore primarily stems from transactions carried out in the currencies of other countries in which NNIT mainly operates: primarily the Chinese yuan, and, to a lesser extent, the Czech koruna, the Philippine peso and the Swiss franc.

At present NNIT's sales in Chinese yuan, Czech koruna, Philippine peso and Swiss franc are not sufficiently large to balance these currency risks. To manage the foreign exchange rate risks, NNIT has historically entered into hedging contracts to hedge the major foreign currency balances in Chinese yuan, Czech koruna, Philippine peso and US Dollar 14 months ahead. Since the US Dollar exposure at the beginning of 2016 has changed to be slightly positive, it has been decided to discontinue hedging of US Dollar in 2016.

NNIT uses forward exchange contracts to hedge forecasted cash outflows. None of the derivative financial instruments are held for trading. NNIT does not hedge assets and liabilities in foreign currencies as the risk is considered to be limited.

Cumulative loss on derivative financial instruments regarding future cash flow per December 31, 2015 are recognized in Equity (Other comprehensive income) with an amount of DKK 3.9m before tax (DKK 3.0m after tax).
