CEO´S COMMENTS
On 30 June, Vitec signed a SEK 250 million credit facility with Nordea that is intended for acquisitions. This runs over a period of four years. In addition, preexisting borrowing from Nordea has been renegotiated so that the repayment rate will now be SEK 25 million per year over the next four years, instead of the previous rate that was closer to SEK 50 million per year. All in all, this will provide additional cash flow of SEK 25 million per year that can be used for investments. Accordingly, Vitec has created the potential for about SEK 350 million of new investments and acquisitions over the course of the four-year period.
Vitec's growth is driven by acquisitions. Since 1998 we have acquired about 25 profitable, well-functioning, vertically strongly niched companies with a significant share of recurring revenue. As a result, we have increased our turnover by an average of 20 per cent per year since the year 2000 and our profits have grown an average of over 20 per cent over the course of the same period. We intend to continue growing through acquisitions, and with a Nordic focus we currently have a list of prospects containing about 100 interesting computer software companies, with a total turnover in excess of SEK 4 billion. The conditions for continued acquisitions appear to be good and two new acquisitions, one in Denmark and one in Norway, have taken place following the end of the period. Both will be incorporated into the business area Auto, which will turn over approximately SEK 100 million per year following these transactions.
Having purposefully and rigorously applied our business model for several years, aiming for a high proportion of recurring revenue, we can conclude that the transformation continues. Recurring revenue made up 79% (77% same period last year) of the total revenue for the quarter and for the first six-month period the equivalent number was 78% (73). Within the business area Estate Agents, a large package of measures have been implemented resulting in a charge on the quarterly results of approximately SEK 2.6 million. The staff reduction implemented
is due to Sweden's biggest chain of real estate agents, Swedbank Fastighetsbyrå AB, informing us of a transfer to a system it has developed in-house.
With a clear shift from traditional licensing to a more up-to-date contract model (SaaS), the proportion of revenue that is recurring and the operating margin increase simultaneously. Together with our employees' huge capacity for renewal and integrating acquisitions, this provides good conditions for long-term development of our entire organization. Backed up by frequent acquisitions of well-established companies and an increasing proportion of recurring revenue, Vitec will continue along the path on which it has set out; operating in several independent and specialized niches in order to achieve enduring profitable growth. Lars Stenlund CEO
January-June 2015
The Vitec group's conversion to business models with a greater percentage of recurring contractual income continues and reached a new all-time high during the first half of 2015. The shift in the mature business units have continued and the newly acquired businesses have contributed with a high percentage of recurring income from the outset. Operating profit has continued to improve as a result of a combination of cost-saving measures and a higher proportion of contractual income.
Business Area Estate Agent has completed a conversion programme as a result of Swedbank Fastighetsbyrå AB's announcement that they will be gradually shifting to a brokering system they have developed in-house. The business area, which still maintains a high production capacity after the conversion, will continue to invest in our web-based brokering system Express. During Q2, Express has continued to perform well in procurements and it is also gratifying that several clients return after having tried other solutions for a while. In Norway the development of our products continues. Fox publishing is now an integrated part of our business.
Business Area Real Estate continues its strong trend of steady improvement in both sales and operating profit. The unit's new products has been received well by both existing and new customers, sales are at a record level, and the delivery organization is nearly fully booked for the whole of 2015 and Q1 2016. Boplats Sverige, where our registered customers can offer lease agreements with right of tenancy continues to grow. An increasing number of property owners have subscribed to the service during the spring which now spans over more than 90 000 units.
Business Area Media continues to increase its proportion of the recurring income with a higher operating margin. Following an upgrade of the technical platform in 2014, Media has a stable customer base. Our major customers have shown an increased demand for our services during Q2.
Business Area Energy is showing higher profits and turnover. The unit continues to explore the European market. A number of webinars on our Aiolos Forecast Studio and NetSim products were held for potential customers in May and June. We have reached approximately 120 potential new users.
Business Area Health, which delivers a complete web-based medical record system for the Finnish market, has during Q2 performed a number of demonstrations for potential customers. Many new customers show a great interest in our product, at the same time our existing customer base is stable and implements new modules. The major roll-out for the Finnish Student Health Service passed an important milestone in June.
Business Area Auto, which offers a business system and an e-commerce platform for spare parts and accessories in the Norwegian market has seen normal development over the period. The unit enjoys stable operations that largely follows the seasonal patterns in the Norwegian spare parts sector.
Business Area Finance and Insurance operates in the Danish and Swedish markets. Operations in Denmark were added after the first half of 2014, which is why the business area shows substantially increased growth in turnover. In Sweden a major roll-out is under way at Länsförsäkringar Fondliv and in Denmark we are in the final stages of a major technical upgrade to future-proof our products. Both projects are costly and will affect profitability in the short term.

Our mission is to provide industry-specific business solutions where our strategy is to focus on niches where there are needs that not as cost-effective can be met by general ERP-systems. In these niches we strive for a leading position. Our offer includes:
- proprietary software
- SaaS (Software as a Service), support and maintenance
- specialist services
The current market is made up to 52 % of Sweden, 24 % in Norway, 13 % in Denmark and 11 % of Finland.
LONG CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS
Vitec formed in 1985 and has since 1998 been a public company based on software solutions. With our products and related services, we act in the long term, build trust and create confidence among our customers. We create value for customers through a customer-focused approach and a well-tailored program offering that supports, develops and increases the profitability of our customers' daily work processes.
BUSINESS MODEL WITH RECURRING REVENUE
Recurring contract revenues are a central part of the Vitecs business model. Recurring contract revenue includes recurring revenues for the use of our software, access to our customer service and new refined versions of our software. Technology trend today is for a more modern model in which the functionality of the software is delivered over the Internet. This movement means that our offer is extended to include the operation of the software and the data storage. This increases the proportion of recurring revenue contracts, which gives us a stable, predictable and recurring revenue volume while providing our customers with a secure overall offering. A business model with a high proportion of recurring revenue also gives us a good annual operating capital and reduces sensitivity to economic downturns. High proportion of recurring revenue contracts also provide strong cash flows, which is an important prerequisite for continued growth.
PROFITABLE GROWTH
Vitec has a pronounced growth strategy with a combination of acquisitions and organic growth. Growth is important because it gives us energy and creates new opportunities. Acquisitions are also important to achieve cost and volume advantages and are also strategically important for the expansion to new markets and niches. Our acquisitions were initially made in Sweden in the niches in which we first appeared, but has gradually expanded to include new niches and new markets. Today we are a software company that offers specific business throughout the Nordic market and our business is established in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark. We identify and evaluates acquisition targets in all Nordic countries. During our long history, we have been in constant growth and every year improved our results. We have, however, held fast to our strategy to operate within specialized software niches to create sustainable and profitable growth.
