From the CEO – We're on track

Poolia's revenue for continuing operations for the second quarter amounted to SEK 187.0 million, an increase of SEK 10.2 million (5.8%) from the second quarter of 2014. Operating profit for the same period was SEK 1.4 (-3.1) million.

The Swedish business increased its revenue by SEK 11.3 million to 133.1 million (9.3%) compared with the same quarter the previous year. Sweden was responsible for 71% of the Group's revenue during the second quarter. Revenue has risen by SEK 8.7 million (7%) compared with the first quarter of 2015, and SEK 5.1 million of the increase is attributable to the acquired company Joblink. Operating profit/loss for Poolia Sweden amounted to SEK -2.1 (-7.4) million during the quarter. The operating margin was -1.6% (-6.1%).

Poolia Sweden incurred restructuring costs of SEK 1.5 (3.0) million during the quarter. Restructuring costs for the first half of the year amounted to SEK 4.8 (4.4) million.

Our focus on increased sales and marketing continues with full force. We continue to win tendering processes both in the private and public sectors – Telia, SLL (Stockholm County Council), Svenska Spel and Karolinska University Hospital are examples of clients that have put their trust in us.

We have made investments during the period and expended considerable amounts on new systems and IT solutions in order to streamline our processes and improve competitiveness.

During the quarter we acquired Joblink Norden AB, a direct competitor based in Sweden. The purpose of the acquisition is to improve Poolia's profitability in the region, create a strong market position and develop the business in order to achieve our long-term goals. The operations have been

merged and the acquisition is expected to start making a positive contribution to Poolia's earnings already during 2015. Growth in Poolia's German operations slowed down in the second quarter and amounted to SEK 1.3 million (3.2%). The operating margin declined to 7.2% (8.9%) during the period.

Revenue for Poolia's Finnish operations showed a decline of SEK 2.3 million (16%) during the quarter, with the operating margin falling to 4.1% (4.8%).

The Poolia Group's revenue for continuing operations increased by SEK 10.8 million (3.0%) during the first half of 2015.

Operating profit for the same period amounted to SEK 4.9 (0.9) million, with an operating margin of 1.3% (0.3%).

Cash flow from operations for the period was SEK 0.3 (10.1) million. The Group's liquidity and financial position are good.

Poolia is getting back into the match – day by day, client by client. We are seeing a good influx of new clients, but former clients are also returning after more efficient marketing and sales development.

Poolia's primary target group is growing companies with ambitious managers. We help these managers with their most difficult and important task: building winning teams.

Our long-term ambitions, goals and strategies stand firm. Our concepts and our integrated approach are appreciated both internally and externally. Poolia's team is working increasingly better.

Morten Werner Managing Director and CEO

Business concept

Poolia's business concept is to provide companies and organisations with the skills that meet their temporary or permanent needs for qualified professionals.

Poolia Quality

Poolia's business is the temporary staffing and permanent placement of qualified professionals. We specialise in the areas of Finance & Accounting, IT, Office Support, Human Resources, Sales & Marketing, Life Science & Engineering, Legal and Executive Search. This specialisation focuses our expertise and deepens our knowledge of to our clients' business operations. We understand our clients' staffing needs, and we have the processes and tests in place to ensure the client gets the right person.

APRIL – JUNE GROUP

Revenue

The Group's revenue for continuing operations increased by 5.8% to SEK 187.0 (176.8) million. Currency effects had a positive impact of 0.9% on revenue. Temporary staffing is the largest service area. Permanent placement's share of revenue increased from 11% to 12%.

Market conditions

Operating profit was SEK 1.4 (-3.1) million, with an operating margin of 0.8% (-1.7%). The Group's net financial income/expense was SEK -0.1 (0.0) million. Profit before tax amounted to SEK 1.3 (-3.1) million. The Group's tax was SEK -0.4 (0.3) million.

It is our assessment that the market in Poolia's areas of operation is slowly improving, and we have experienced an increase in demand during the first half of the year. We believe that the weak krona and the interest rate situation in general are contributing to increased investments and higher sales, which also affects our sector. We expect this trend to continue during 2015. We maintain our positive view of the long-term outlook for the staffing industry.

Our experience, specialisation, commitment, and working methods combine to create the quality that gives our clients a crucial advantage: employees who not only perform, but

also contribute. This is what we call Poolia Quality.

POOLIA SWEDEN

Revenue

Poolia Sweden's revenue amounted to SEK 133.1 (121.8) million, an increase of 9% compared with the same period the previous year. Permanent placement's share of revenue increased from 12% to 13% during the period. Sales of permanent placement services to the public sector have increased by more than 25% in the first half of the year.

Earnings

Poolia Sweden's operating profit/loss was SEK -2.1 (-7.4) million. The operating margin was - 1.6% (-6.1%).

Poolia's Swedish operations are still being rebuilt and restructured after the period of decline in 2011-2014. Our efforts are starting to bear fruit. During the quarter we won many large and prestigious tendering processes, often thanks to high quality ratings. Telia, SLL (Stockholm County Council), Svenska Spel and Karolinska University Hospital are just some of the companies that put their trust in us.

Marketing to the SME segment is now functioning well and providing many leads for sales meetings.

Our acquisition of Joblink Norden AB has been completed. The ROI calculation is based exclusively on cost savings. The transaction is presented in more detail on page 5 of this report.

The positive economic situation appears to be having an effect on our industry and our segment. We are experiencing a slight increase in demand, particularly in Stockholm. However, competition between staffing companies remains intense.

Poolia Sweden incurred restructuring costs of SEK 1.5 million during the quarter (SEK 4.8 million for the half year).

Share of Group revenue in the quarter

POOLIA GERMANY

Revenue

Poolia Germany's revenue amounted to SEK 41.7 (40.4) million, an increase of 3%. Currency effects had a positive impact of 3% on revenue during the quarter. Permanent placement's share of revenue declined from 12% to 10%,

Earnings

Poolia Germany's operating profit was SEK 3.0 (3.6) million. The operating margin was 7.2% (8.9%).

Poolia's German business is developing positively, although more slowly this year than the previous year. One reason is the very low German unemployment, which is less than 1% in our segment. This means that it has become very difficult to find candidates and then get them to sign contracts for both employment and temporary staffing. They have too many choices, purely and simply.

We are working on developing a strategy that will enable us to continue to grow rapidly with good profitability.

We are optimistic about developments in both the short and long term.

POOLIA FINLAND

Revenue

Poolia Finland's revenue for the quarter amounted to SEK 12.2 (14.5) million, a decline of 16%. Currency effects had a positive impact of 3% on revenue during the quarter. Permanent placement's share of revenue increased from 4% to 5%.

In the first half of the year, sales increased by 4% compared with the same period in 2014.

Earnings

Poolia Finland's operating profit was SEK 0.5 (0.7) million, with an operating margin of 4.1% (4.8%).

The main reason for the decline is that our clients in the IT sector have reduced their temporary staffing and permanent placement purchases from 2014 to 2015.

Poolia's operations in Finland continue to show long-term positive growth, albeit at a slower pace than in the previous year. Poolia Finland has stable operations and has long-standing relationships with most clients. In light of the current macroeconomic situation in Finland, we should not expect to see any high growth figures or improved profitability.

JANUARY – JUNE GROUP

Revenue

The Group's revenue for continuing operations increased by 3.0% to SEK 369.2 (358.4) million. Currency effects had a positive impact of 1.3% on revenue. Temporary staffing is the largest service area. Permanent placement's share of revenue was unchanged at 11%. The chart below shows the Group's revenue by segment during the period.

Earnings

Operating profit amounted to SEK 4.9 (0.9) million, with an operating margin of 1.3% (0.3%). The Group's net financial income/expense was SEK -0.1 (-0.2) million. Profit before tax amounted to SEK 4.8 (0.7) million. The Group's tax was SEK -1.5 million.

Poolia incurred restructuring costs of SEK 4.8 (4.4) million during the period.

Liquidity and financing

The Group's cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2015 were SEK 1.4 (9.4) million. The change in cash and cash equivalents is largely attributable to the acquisition of Joblink (see below). Cash flow from operating activities for continuing operations during the period was SEK 0.3 (10.1) million. The equity/assets ratio at 30 June 2015 was 30.6% (30.7%). Group transactions with one and the same lender are offset in the consolidated balance sheet. The Parent Company's credit balances and credit utilisation are recognised in the Parent Company's financial statements. The Group's Swedish business has a joint cash pool and an overdraft facility of SEK 40 (40) million. At 30 June 2015, SEK 14.5 (5.6) million of this amount had been utilised.

Investments

The Group's investments in non-current assets for the period January to June amounted to SEK 0.0 (0.8) million.

Acquisition of Joblink

On 11 May, Poolia acquired 100 percent of the shares in the staffing company Joblink Norden AB, which has about 70 employees and sales of just under SEK 40 million. The acquisition is an important step in Poolia's long-term strategy for profit growth. The purchase consideration, including transaction costs, was SEK 10.7 million. The acquisition was financed from the Company's own funds and had an effect of SEK -11.8 million on cash flow. As a preliminary estimate, the acquisition will generate goodwill and other surplus values of SEK 10.1 million. The final distribution will be made when the definitive basis for the calculations is complete. During the period, the acquisition has had an effect of SEK 5.1 million on the Group's net sales and SEK -0.4 million on operating profit including transaction costs.

Pledged assets and contingent liabilities

Poolia AB has pledged shares in subsidiaries as security for its bank overdraft facility.
