CEO, HÅKAN KIRSTEIN'S COMMENTS
The first quarter of the year was characterized by a continued weak market
situation with low demand and a high degree of price competition, particularly
within implementation. Our purposeful investment in sales of services has
delivered results and the organic growth within services amounted to 3 percent
in the quarter. Activity among our customers continued to be low within
implementation and the organic growth amounted to 
-18 percent in the quarter. The EBITA margin for the group, excluding
restructuring costs, amounted to 6.0 percent, which is a decline of one
percentage point and is mainly due to lower implementation sales within Mainland
Europe.

To counter the weak market situation we initiated a restructuring program during
the quarter aimed at reducing costs, increasing the centralization within the
countries and thereby raising efficiency in the company. The program will
deliver annual savings of approximately MSEK 180 with full effect from the first
quarter 2011. Restructuring costs related to the program amount to MSEK 200, and
are charged to results in this quarter. 

The general market climate is expected to continue to be weak during 2010,
particularly within implementation. We are continuing to focus on refinement of
the service offering by generating recurring revenue while at the same time
prioritizing margins over growth.
