Significant events after the period
Vitec acquires MV-Nordic A/S in Denmark
CEO's comments
The positive trend in the first quarter continued in the second quarter. Cash flow and earnings have increased faster than sales, which means that for the first six months of the year we basically meet our fifteen percent operating margin target.
We have expanded our revolving credit facility with SEK 200 million, after the increase the total is SEK 450 million. The number of active acquisition dialogues remains high and we continuously put resources in place to maintain and further develop these dialogues. Vitec's financial position and readiness for future acquisitions are solid, we see good conditions for continued acquisition-based growth. After the period, the Danish company MV Nordic A / S has been acquired. The company has a turnover of approximately DKK 110 million with an EBITDA of approximately DKK 11 million and the acquisition will directly contribute to increasing Vitec's earnings per share.
Of the Group's approximately 75 percent recurring revenue, 40 percent emerge from SaaS agreements according to a modern subscription model. Vitec continues to convert towards an increasing share of SaaS agreements in new sales or when existing customers upgrade their products. The customer benefits of the SaaS model are becoming more widely known as digitalization continues. This general trend strengthens our potential in transforming our business model.
A clear shift from traditional license sales to subscription of cloud-based products reduces reliance on individual license sales, which increases our long-term ability to control our business. This, together with our people's capacity to innovate and integrate acquisitions, provides good conditions for longterm development of our business. With the acquisition of well-established companies and a high proportion of recurring revenues, Vitec continues on the path to act in several independent and specialized niches to achieve sustainable profitable growth.

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 conditional additional purchase price for Fox Publish AS is subject to separate events within a maximum period of 42 months after the acquisition date as of March 2, 2015. The conditional additional purchase price for Futursoft OY is dependent on EBITDA 201610-201709.
