CEO's comments

Vitec continues to grow and is now listed among the midsized Swedish companies. The Group's risk diversification across countries and business areas has further improved during the year. Sweden's share of Group sales were 42 percent this year compared to nearly 50 last year.

We made three acquisitions during the year. The latest, Plania AS in Stavanger December 2016, along with the other acquisitions, added approximately 110 million to the Group's turnover and profitability.

From an earnings point of view 2016 was a transitional year, although if cleared for negative currency effects the operating profit was slightly better than last year. Cash flow continues to improve. Fourth quarter results were weaker than last year,

but last year non-recurring items of close to five million flowed into Q4 2015, which partly distorts the comparison between years.

The proportion of recurring revenues decreased slightly to 77% (78%). However, the decline was less than we initially estimated. The business model is strong and well rooted in the Group. It has a momentum that drives the internal culture and business in the desired direction more powerful than we dared to hope.

The operating margin for the full year was 13.1 percent, which is under our target of 15 percent. Market demand in our niches is sustainable in a long-term perspective, which means that our foundation is strong to continuously strive for improving efficiency and profitability.

The number of active acquisition dialogues remains high and we continue to devote significant resources to maintain and further develop these dialogues. Our financial position and readiness for acquisitions is good, and we see significant opportunities for further acquisition-based growth.

With a clear shift from traditional license sales to subscription of cloud-based systems reduces reliance on individual license sales, which increases our long-term ability to control our business. This, together with our people's great capacity to innovate and integrate acquisitions, provides good conditions for long-term development of our business. With the acquisition of well-established companies and a high proportion of recurring revenues, Vitec continues the path to act in several independent and specialized niches to achieve sustainable profitable growth. As usual, we increase the dividend. Now for the 15th consecutive year.

Lars Stenlund, CEO

January - December 2016

Vitec continues to grow. Plania AS, which will belong to Business Area Real Estate, has been acquired during the last quarter and Tietomitta OY and Futursoft OY were acquired earlier in 2016. Each acquisition allows Vitec to achieve a better balance between various business areas, and the three new acquisitions during the year are helping to even out the distribution of profits and sales. Our product mix is also positively affected through our acquisitions and the software development we do in existing business. Our products are relatively evenly distributed across various phases, from recently launched to mature. For the year as a whole, the Estate Agents, Energy and Health business areas are reporting lower profits than in 2015, whereas the Finance & Insurance, Real Estate and Auto business areas are all reporting higher profits. Business Area Environment has been added during the year and is contributing with a positive impact on profits and Business Area Media was sold in July 2016.

Business Area AUTO

Business Area Auto is reporting slightly lower profits during the last quarter compared to the same period in 2015. For the full year, however, both sales and profits are increasing. Erling Brækkan has been recruited as the new business Area Manager for our Norwegian operation. Erling is assuming responsibility for the companies Vitec Autodata AS and Vitec Infoeasy AS. Our business in Denmark are developing according to plan for all product areas. The cloud-based offering from Futursoft has been received positively by the market in Finland.

Business Area ENERGY

Business Area Energy has continued to increase the number of new customers in Europe as a result of its intensified investment in marketing during the year. The rise in incoming orders for our GIS system is also worth mentioning. The business area is in a strong position with an operating margin of 28%, even though this is slightly lower than the even stronger 2015.

Business Area REAL ESTATE

The Norwegian software company Plania AS was acquired on the 5:th of December,. Plania is an established, mature company that offers software developed in-house for real estate management, operation and maintenance. In Sweden, the business area is growing through upgrades for existing customers, at the same time as achieving high sales to new customers. More and more customers are opting for our cloud service, which is providing our customers with greater benefit from our software at the same time as enabling us to provide an even better level of service. Both sales and profit levels are growing for Business Area Real Estate.

Business Area FINANCE & INSURANCE

Sales and profits developed in a positive direction during the fourth quarter. All three countries in which we have operations, Sweden, Norway and Denmark, are developing in line with our expectations. During the period, Fredrik Glifberg has been recruited as the new business area manager for our operation in Sweden. We have seen increased demand for our products in Denmark during the year. Demand is being driven by the fact that we have now launched the latest version of our product, as well as by new regulations in the market such as MiFiD II. In December, a contract was signed with PensionDanmark with an initial value of DKK 8 million.

Business Area HEALTH

During the last quarter, Business Area Health has continued to focus on delivery to a couple of major customers. As we have mentioned in previous reports, this is having a negative impact on profitability, although in the long term the business area will be strengthened through increased recurring revenue. The deliveries are continuing according to plan, and we are expecting them to be completed during the first half of 2017. The business area is reporting increased income and falling profits. Recurring income during the year has increased by 12% in local currency.

Business Area MEDIA

In July, the operations within Business Area Media were sold to XLENT Consulting Holding AB.

Business Area ESTATE AGENTS

Business Area Estate Agents is reporting lower profits and sales for 2016, with various major customers leaving in favor of alternatives developed in-house. While this has been a year with many challenges, we welcome the fact that we are finishing the year with a strong offering. Thanks to our intensive development work, we are the market-leaders and supply the most modern solutions for estate agents in Norway and Sweden. Our products – Next and Express – are fully mobile and suitable for all types of computers, tablets and mobile phones, with open integration options for supplementary systems. 2017 will continue to be an intensive year in terms of development but we are already adjusting so that we can offer our new products to the market at an increasingly rapid rate.

ACCOUNTING AND VALUATION PRINCIPLES AND OTHER COMMENTS

This report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS, as adopted by the EU and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The parent company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that have entered into force in 2016, has had no impact on the consolidated financial position or financial reports. The accounting policies and calculation methods are unchanged from the one described in the Annual Report for 2015 with the exception of the calculation of hedge investments in foreign operations.

The Group has taken out loans in foreign currencies (EUR, NOK and DKK) to hedge investments in foreign subsidiaries. The loans are valued at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. The Group recognizes exchange rate differences directly to equity, after adjustment for tax element. Any ineffective element of the exchange rate difference is recognized directly in the income statement as a financial item.

As of July 1, 2016 the hedge accounting has been expanded to include the company's bank accounts in foreign currency. The accounts has a negative balance, and can be seen as an overdraft facility. The balance of the accounts are valued at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and the exchange rate difference is recognized directly to equity, after adjustment for tax element. Prior to July 1, 2016 that exchange rate difference was recognized in the operating profit. For the period July to December, SEK 2,9 million moved from operating profit to equity and other comprehensive income. If the change had occurred from the beginning of the year, SEK 7,2 million would have moved from operating profit to other comprehensive income.

The additional purchase prices for Fox Publish AS and Acuvitec OY has during the period been adjusted down by SEK 1,5 million and SEK 21,2 million. The corrections have been recognized as revenue in accordance with IFRS 3:58, and as impairment of intangible assets. The corrections have no effect on reported profit.

TAXES

Tax for the year amounted to SEK 14,6 million (22,4). Deferred tax amounted to SEK 0,6 million (-5,9). Paid tax for the year amounted to SEK 27,4 million (14,2). The difference from the previous year is partly explained by paid residual taxes for 2014, partly by newly acquired Finnish companies who pay their taxes in current year, but mainly by improved operating results between 2014 and 2015.

INVESTMENTS

Investments amounted to SEK 82,3 million in capitalized work, SEK 1,5 million in other intangible assets and SEK 9,0 million in tangible assets.

LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term interest-bearing debt consists of bank loans SEK 339,4 million. Long-term non-interest bearing liabilities consist of deferred taxes SEK 120,7 million, pension liability SEK 7,8 million, non-current portion of additional purchase price Fox Publish SEK 2,8 million, non-current portion of additional purchace price for Futursoft SEK 23,9 million and a promissory note signed in connection with the acquisition of Nice AS SEK 2,1 million.

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE

Convertible debentures are included in short-term interest bearing liabilities:

Loan 1501 (long-term debt interest bearing liabilities, staff). SEK 13,8 million. Duration of the loan is January 1, 2015 - December 31, 2017. The interest rate is Stibor 180. The conversion price is SEK 31,80. Conversion may be requested 1 November to 30 November 2017. The share capital may upon conversion increase by a maximum of SEK 44 221.

EQUITY

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Classification and valuation

Financial instruments are initially recognized at their acquisition value corresponding to the instrument´s fair value plus transaction costs. A financial instrument is classified when recognized for the first time, including on the basis of the purpose for which the instrument was acquired. Vitec has financial instrument in the categories loans receivable and accounts receivable, financial liabilities valued at fair value, and financial liabilities valued at their accrued acquisition value.

Financial liabilities valued at fair value

According to IFRS 7, information must be provided about the fair value of each financial asset and financial liability, irrespective of whether they are reported in the balance sheet or not. Vitec judges that the fair value of the financial assets/liabilities is close to the reported book value.

All of the company´s financial instruments that are subject to valuation at fair value are classified at level 3. The change for the period in respect of financial instruments at level 3 refers primarily to additional purchase prices for acquisitions. Conditional purchase prices are valued at fair value base on available data, such as contractual terms, as well as relevant assessments in respect of anticipated fulfillment of conditions. When calculating fair value, an assumed interest rate of 0,9% has been used. As the difference between fair value and book value is marginal, no correction has taken place.

The following table shows the difference between fair value and booked value.

Recurring valuations at fair value, as at 31 December 2016

Level 1 level 2 Level 3 Book value
Additional purchase price Fox Publish AS 2 710 2 740
Additional purchase price Futursoft AS 23 651 23 917

For all other financial assets and liabilities, booked value is consistent with fair value.
