Comments from the CEO
Strong cash flow and increased margins
As unfolds the market landscape that concluded last year remains the same an interim phase that has neither improved nor worsened At the same time we continue to show solid organic growth of % for our subscription-based recurring revenues adjusted for currency effects The majority of this year's price adjustments were carried out in the first quarter in accordance with our customer agreements and largely follow the general price trend in each market
The first quarter is traditionally our strongest in terms of cash flow and this year is no exception Most of our subscription-based recurring revenues are billed in advance providing us with a stable financial position and the conditions to take a long-term approach to our investment decisions Revenues for the first quarter total SEK million reflecting a % increase year over year Calculated on a rolling -month basis our subscription-based revenues grew organically by % in local currencies which is consistent with the end of last year EBITA was SEK million an increase of % and the margin was % up from % We always endeavor to increase the margins and this development is therefore particularly gratifying Continued high interest rates and increased tax expenses given our increasingly international operations are impacting our net profit thus leading to a slightly smaller increase in earnings per share compared to the EBITA
Culture and values are the glue that holds a growing Group like ours together providing the conditions for growth development and innovation In the short-term the Annual General Meeting on April and our big Management Conference held in Umeå on May – are two important opportunities for us to meet exchange experiences discuss the business and be inspired by similarities and differences The latter is a specific example of our cultural work and cohesion which are facets that we highlight when meeting new companies and that are part of our unique offering
In January we welcomed Dutch LDC to the Group This market-leading company has a platform for coaches and candidates in career and human resource management reintegration training and retraining The products support labor market mobility through training career coaching and matching candidates to available positions We continue to look for new companies to add to our growing Group Based on our criteria we are able to maintain an agnostic view on vertical or geography for example while remaining flexible in our setup to generate trust among entrepreneurs and deliver long-term value-creation for shareholders

Olle Backman CEO and President Vitec Software Group
In January Vitec acquired software company LDC which develops and delivers software for improved labor market mobility in the Netherlands
"We continue to look for new companies to add to our growing Group We remain flexible in our setup to generate trust among entrepreneurs and deliver long-term value-creation for shareholders"

Allocation of recurring revenues Q –Q

Sales broken down by business unit and customer
Because we operate in a number of niche markets and countries we have good distribution of revenue in terms of both geography and area of operation Although we operate in several niche markets we still engage in essentially the same business we develop and deliver standardized software Some are complete enterprise systems while others provide support for specific aspects of our customers' operations
As we continue to acquire profitable vertical software companies we expect the distribution of risk to continue in a positive direction
