Anders Lidbeck, President and CEO comments:

“The first half-year 2015 progressed well. The second quarter of the year is the
fifteenth consecutive quarter when Enea has achieved margin expansion, and the
ninth consecutive quarter with profitability improvements compared to the
corresponding period of the previous year. The operating profit in the second
quarter was up 17 percent on the corresponding period of the previous year. In
the second quarter of 2015, as in the first, we also achieved a record operating
profits for these periods, not only in year over year terms, but throughout
Enea’s history. Sales also grew satisfactorily in the second quarter, with
growth of 16 percent. Currency-adjusted growth was 8 percent on the
corresponding period of the previous year.

In our Global Service business, we achieved growth of over 20 percent on the
corresponding period of the previous year once again, as well as sequential
growth on the previous quarter. This is the fifth consecutive quarter of double
-digit growth on the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Product-related
service sales are maintaining their high growth, due to healthy demand for
expert services related to our products, and a product mix with a growing number
of solutions that contains open source. In overall terms, our Services business
is continuing to outgrow our software business. Our total gross margin for the
second quarter of 71.0 percent, compared to 72.1 percent in the corresponding
period of the previous year, demonstrates that our Services business also has
healthy margins. We think we are well positioned in our niche, and that expert
knowledge is, and will remain, key in a world where open source is becoming more
significant. Accordingly, we will continue to develop our Global Services
business.

Our software business grew by 13 percent in the second quarter compared to the
corresponding period of the previous year. This is the second consecutive
quarter of double-digit growth in this business sector. In our software
business, revenues outside our largest customers continued to outgrow the total,
and once again, we were able to achieved revenue growth of over 20 percent
outside our key accounts. The fact that we are continuing to advance our market
positioning by securing contracts and new business customers in the quarter is
very positive. We also achieved near 20 percent growth on one of our key
accounts compared to the corresponding period of the previous year, after
signing a new two-year contract, which commenced in the second quarter. However,
our software revenues are still highly dependent on royalty revenues on our
major customers, and once again in the second quarter, we were able to show some
increase in these revenues compared to the corresponding period of the previous
year.

The investments in our product portfolio reviewed in previous quarters continued
at an undiminished pace in the quarter. This applies particularly to our
commitment to operating system solutions for future networks, and network
function virtualization, where we have now started to use the COSNOS (Carrier
-grade Open Network Operating System) concept to define the targets and mission
of this process. During the past quarter, we achieved our first milestone, when
alongside our partner ARM, we were able to demo the first implementation of
OPNFV architecture on ARM hardware at the NFV World Congress in San José. This
successful public demonstration is a momentous step in our endeavor to develop a
product portfolio offering new solutions, with open source software playing a
progressively more important role. Simultaneous with these investments laying
the foundation for our future, we are at least as proud to be able to report
more successes for our current product portfolio. In the past quarter, we were
able to report a major deal in Asia, where the combination of our flagship OSE
and Linux will form the backbone of a new LTE system.

We are continuing our efforts to achieve improved growth and high profitability.
However, the trends and changes that we are witnessing on the market, not least
associated with open solutions, do increase the risks for us. Accordingly, we
will be accelerating business development work. With strong finances, healthy
cash flows and a significantly stronger market position in emerging technology
segments, we take a confident view of our future. We are also prepared for the
change that the accelerating impact of open source may mean for us and our
business model through the coming years.

Our objective full year 2015 is to achieve revenue growth and our assessment is
that earnings per share will improve compared with 2014.”
