2014 – Advancing Customer Satisfaction and Profitable Growth

"We are ready to advance Zalaris' proven business model in the fast-growing enterprise market for quality outsourced HR solutions. It's ideal timing for our pending IPO on the Oslo Stock Exchange as demand continues to rise for the service levels and cost savings we consistently deliver."

Hans-Petter Mellerud, CEO

Insights from the CEO

Zalaris concluded the second quarter of 2014 in line with our expectations for the period and on track with fiscal objectives for the year. In addition to growing revenue YOY to 21.1%, we increased profitability compared to Q2 2013. This resulted in revenue of NOK 71.1 million and an EBIT (before one off IPO related costs) of NOK 3.2 million for the quarter. Recurring revenue remained stable from Q1 and variations were mainly in revenue from external consulting engagements. Revenue and EBIT for the first half year was NOK 145.2 and NOK 11.6 million.

In April we signed a five year agreement with leading energy company Statoil ASA to deliver a number of transactional HR services to their 23'000 global employee base. The project responsible for transitioning the services from Statoil to Zalaris started in April. Services to Statoil will commence on August 1 st with revenue impact from that date. As a result of the Statoil deal, we are establishing a service center in Stavanger that will focus on delivering outsourced payroll and HR services to the North Sea oil industry.

Our HRO and Consulting practices are still fully engaged with new large enterprise customers. In June we went live with our new cloud based SAP powered solution for TeliaSonera in Finland, Nordea Life and Pension in Denmark and Lemminkäinen in Norway. Go-Live for Telenor Sweden is scheduled for September.

Our Service operations continued its focus on improving quality and service further. As an important mean a separate operations development group was established to be responsible for identifying and managing service operations wide improvement projects including productivity increasing measures.

Overall market response to our services still remains

strong. At the end of Q2 we signed a Letter of Intent with a well know Norwegian company for the provision of full service payroll and HR services to their around 1200 employees. The corresponding transformation project has started and we expect a final agreement to be in place and communicated in the near future.

Our pipeline of deals is strong with a number of large opportunities in various stages. There is significant upsell and expansion potential with existing customers. A handful of the prospective new customers have large Nordic and Northern European employee bases in the range of 15000 to 30000 employees.

Going forward we are working on strengthening our sales organization to further enhance our presence in the markets that we operate.

Zalaris listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange on the 20th of June at an offer price of NOK 23 per share. At this level the offering was more than 5x subscribed and secured us around 650 shareholders headed by a very strong institutional investor base including high quality International and Nordic long-only funds. At the end of Q2 share price had increased with12.6% to NOK 25.9 per share. As the IPO process naturally demanded much attention from Zalaris management and key resources – we are excited about normalizing the situation – again being able to focus on serving our customers and delivering on expectations.

Revenue and Profit/Loss

Revenue

Total revenue amounted to NOK 71.1 million in Q2 2014, an increase of 21.1% compared to the same period in 2013. The total revenue decreased compared to Q1 2014. This reflects normal seasonal variations and a higher number of public holidays and vacationdays in Q2 compared to Q1.

Zalaris' revenue related to the HR Outsourcing business, increased 25% compared to Q2 2013. Q2 2014 revenues were 4% lower compared to Q1 2014. The main reason was seasonal variations in payroll services related to year-end tasks having a positive impact on HR Outsourcing revenues in Q1 and Q4. On the compensating side, in Q2 the HR Outsourcing business unit delivered an increased number of change orders which gave a positive development of additional invoicing.

Consulting revenue amounted to 1.9 MNOK in Q2 2014. The group has continiously had high usage of consulting capacity in implementation projects for new customers and change orders for existing customers, which limited external selling by the Consulting unit. This in addition to a higher number of public holidays and vacationdays in Q2 compared to Q1, explain low consulting revenue.

Profit/loss

Group operating profit before extraordinary one off IPO costs amounted to NOK 3.2 million in the second quarter, equivalent to an operating margin of 4.5%. This is an increase of NOK 1.4 million compared to the same period last year. The operating profit equals NOK -0.5 million equivalent to -0.7% operating margin.

Extraordinary IPO costs amounting to NOK 3.7 million are one off costs related to our IPO process and mainly include legal and accounting services, listing fee and management fee to advisors.

Net financial items for the second quarter amounted to NOK -0.6 million. The result for Q2 2014 after tax is NOK -0.8 million. Equivalent figures for the first quarter of 2013 were net financial NOK -1.2 million and profit after tax NOK 0.4 million.

Revenue per region

Business unit – HR Outsourcing

Zalaris experiences continuous growth and currently has offices covering the Nordics, Baltics and Poland. In the second quarter of 2014, 97% of the total revenue was generated in the Group's HR Outsourcing business unit. This represents a 3 % increase compared to the same period in 2013.

In Q2 2014, 99% of Zalaris' outsourcing revenues resulted from our Nordic subsidiaries with the following split: Norway 43%, Sweden 20%, Denmark 20% and Finland 16%.

Compared to Q1 2014, Q2 2014 revenue remained relatively stable for Norway, Denmark and Finland while Sweden experienced a seasonal decrease mainly due to high level of invoicing related to year-end tasks in Q1.

Especially Norway but also Finland had a high level of revenues from change orders in Q2 which more than neutralized the negative impact of seasonal variations.

Business unit - Consulting

Consulting revenues in Q2 2014 reflects that consulting capacity has been heavily involved with customer implementation projects related to growth and high inflow of new customers in the previous quarters.

The contribution to total external revenue from the Consulting business unit was 3% in the second quarter of 2014, amounting to NOK 1.9 million. This is a decrease from the same period last year in which the contribution to total external revenue amounted to NOK 3.5 million or 6% of total revenue for the Group. The norwegian Consulting unit contributes with 75 % of all consulting revenue in Q2 and continues to be the main contributor of consulting revenue in Zalaris Group.

The consulting revenue in Q2 2014 decreased in all the Nordic countries compared to Q2 2013. In 2013 the norwegian Consulting unit used external consultants to deliver services generating external consulting revenues. In addition the high utilization of consulting capacity used on implementation projects for new HR outsourcing customers and the contributiion from consulting capacity to a high level of revenues from change orders in the HR Outsourcing business unit, explains the decrease in consulting revenues.

Employees

The Group had a headcount of 415 (of which 33 were employed by Zalaris' provider of offshore services), equivalent to an increase of 14% from 363 (of which 33 were employed by Zalaris' provider of offshore services) at the end of Q2 2013. The number of FTEs (Full Time Equivalents) at the end of Q2 2014 was 395, compared to 331 FTEs at the end of Q2 2013.

The increase in the number of resources in the HR Outsourcing business unit in Q2 is mainly caused by the establishment of a separate operations developmemt group to focus on increased quality and productivity in our outsourcing service processes.

Headcount in the Consulting business unit increased by 25 compared to Q2 2013 to 82 employees at the end of Q2 2014. The growth is a result of expansion of HR outsourcing services for customers in Poland and in the Baltics and thus a new consulting group in Poland, the built up of a new consulting group in Denmark and minor growth in the other Nordic consulting units due to high activity related to new customer implementation projects.

Cash flow and investments

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to NOK -3.8 million (NOK 2.6 million 2013) for the second quarter. Included in this number are the costs of activities related to customer implementation projects from new outsourcing contracts amounting to -7.0 million (NOK -0.4 million 2013).

Zalaris invoices their customers on a monthly basis and mainly the last day of a month. Thus Zalaris experience a high number of incoming payments the first 10 workingdays in the following month of a closing period. Outstanding receivables with due date end of Q2 2014 amounted to NOK 12 million, whereof NOK 10 million was paid during the first 10 workingdays in July.

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to NOK 47.5 million (NOK 2.6 million 2013) at the end of the quarter. The Group has an unused credit facility of NOK 15 million.

The Group made investments of NOK 2.8 million during the quarter. The investments relate to IT functionality for improved efficiency in service deliveries and SAP licences for own users. In addition our service center in Poland moved into a new office which required investments for office equipments

Equity

The equity by the end of the second quarter was NOK 91.3 million, which corresponds to an equity ratio of 53.6%. The equity by the end of second quarter 2013 was NOK 29.8 million, equivalent to 26.1%.

Outlook

Zalaris is well positioned to maintain the growth rate achieved over the last years. We experience an increasing interest in our services from large blue chip organizations that are looking for innovative ways to deliver cost effective services and at the same time serving their employees with efficient processes. We are strengthening our sales and business development activities to address the opportunities in the market.

Key to market success is our ability to deliver quality services from a low cost base. As quality and profitability goes hand in hand we are through our operations development initiatives focusing on further improving quality through standardization of processes and increased use of IT supported electronic work flows and automation. At the same time we have defined clear targets on how we utilize near- and offshore to deliver certain personnel intensive processes at an optimal cost level whilst keeping close proximity and local language dialogue through our onshore local language service centers.

Thus our key focus for the short and medium term will be to focus on delivering upon our customers' expectations, profitable growth and at the same time work to optimize our cost levels with the intent of becoming the Northern European market leader.
