approximately 40% compared to 2014 to DKK 16.7 billion, which compares to a

foreign exchange rates of around 11%, compared to a tailwind of around 10%
anticipated in November 2015 in connection with the announcement of the Q3 2015

EBITDA margin around 37%. CAPEX is expected to be approximately DKK 1,000
