From the CEO – Continuing focus on increased sales and improved profitability

Poolia's revenues in the third quarter from continuing operations amounted to
SEK 163.0 million, a decline of SEK 1.5 million (0.8%) compared with the third
quarter of 2013. Operating profit for the same period was SEK 3.6 (1.8) million.

Revenues for the Swedish business were SEK 105.7 (123.9) million, which
corresponds to 65% of the Group's revenues for the quarter. Operating
profit/loss amounted to SEK -2.2 (-0.6) million. The third quarter is Sweden's
worst quarter of the year in terms of revenue. This is because resource temps
take their holidays in this period and fewer permanent placements are completed.
The cost of unplaced resource temps is now down to an acceptable level. Poolia
Sweden incurred transition costs of SEK 1.0 million during the quarter (SEK 5.4
million for the year to date).

Poolia's German business continues to develop well. Revenues amounted to SEK
44.3 (31.9) million, corresponding to growth of 39%, and operating profit was
SEK 5.6 (2.3) million, an increase of 140%. Our Finnish operations also reported
a good third quarter. Growth compared with the third quarter of the previous
year was 50%, with an acceptable operating profit.

Poolia Group's revenues from continuing operations declined by SEK 25.5 million
(4.7%) during the period January to September 2014. Operating profit for the
same period amounted to SEK 4.6 (3.2) million, leaving an operating margin of
0.9% (0.6%). Cash flow from operations for the period was SEK 5.0 (9.2) million.
The Group's liquidity is good.

We continue to work to improve and streamline Poolia's operations in Sweden. The
savings programme aimed at reducing annual costs by SEK 15 million is proceeding
according to plan.

The final payment for the sale of Poolia's UK operations has been received in
October in 2014 and Poolia does not have any further obligations concerning the
divestment of the UK operations.

Poolia's progress towards the goal of returning to good profitability continues
at high intensity.
