Report of the Board of Directors
January-March 2015
Group revenues for the first quarter totalled EUR 71m, a EUR 7m or 9% decline compared to previous
year. This decline is mainly due to the structural decline of traditional print revenues. Revenue in the
Netherlands (DTG) is positively impacted by c. EUR 1m caused by a change in contract terms.
Product groups: New media is mainly consisting of web presence and marketing services, Profile services are mainly internet yellow pages
(IYP), Consumer services (only in Finland) are directory assistance and sms data information services, Print is traditional printed directories
and Other consists of mixed revenue streams.
Profile services revenues declined as expected and new media revenues, mainly website and
marketing services totalling EUR 17m represented 24% of the total revenue of the Group, an increase of 2 percentage points.
3
The share of online products in the Group’s product portfolio totalled 60% - remaining at the same
level with the previous year.
Print revenues totalled EUR 10m, a decline of 26%. Print revenues represented 14% of total revenues,
showing a decrease of 3 percentage points. Consumer services consisting of directory assistance and
SMS data information services were at last year’s level and totalled EUR 17m, representing 23% of
total revenues. Consumer services are provided only by Fonecta in Finland.
In addition to the structural decline in traditional print, the transition to online and digital services is
impacted by a challenging economic environment in all key markets.
Within the online segment the growth of new media services is still promising and supports the
management’s view to continue investing in this segment.
Group EBITDA for the quarter amounted to EUR 7m (EUR 14m). EBITDA margin was 10% (18%) The
Group continues to take actions to lower the fixed cost base, to slow down the decline in traditional
revenues and to accelerate the transition to an online and digital product portfolio. Total fixed or
indirect costs were at the same level as during the previous year. Overall EBITDA is positively impacted
by c. EUR 1m due to a change in contract terms in the Netherlands. This change has no cash impact.
Cash flow before financing activities was EUR 13m (EUR -2m). Despite lower operating results, net
cash from operating activities increased by EUR 2m to EUR 5m due to lower working capital outflows
and lower interest payments. Net cash used in investing activities was positive EUR 8m (EUR -5m)
mainly from the divestment of business unit “secondary entries” and divestment of the Swedish
partnership.
The liquidity position of the Group at the end of the quarter is EUR 64m. Net-interest bearing debt at
31 March 2015 is EUR 73m, 1.0x EBITDA (LTM), excluding subordinated shareholder loans. (Compared
to EUR 103m at the end of the first quarter of 2014)

Note 11 Financial risk management
Financial risk factors
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: - market risk (including currency risk), fair value interest rate risk and price risk- credit risk; and - liquidity risk. The Company’s overall risk management programme focuses on the structure of the assets and liabilities.Management aims in achieving risk minimisation through the use of a (“back to back”) structure.
1. Market risk
Price/Interest rate risks
Market risk is the potential of suffering losses due to changes in market prices or parameters influencing marketprices. It includes changes concerning illiquidity of sub-markets resulting in the inability of buying/selling positions ofa special size, within a special period of time or at fair value conditions.
The interest rate risk is covered by the structure of the assets and liabilities. Through back to back structuringmanagement consider the interest cash flow risk to be mitigated.
Sensitivity analysis
A reasonable possible change of 100 basis points in the interest rates at the reporting date is not impacting the valueof assets, liability or shareholder equity in a significant way.
The back to back structure of assets and liabilities is offsetting this risk.
Currency risk
The Company has no significant currency risk as borrowings and lending contracts are denominated in Euro, thefunctional and presentation currency of the Company. The Company is only subject to individual insignificanttransactions in foreign currency which may arise.
Sensitivity analysis
A reasonable possible strengthening (weakening) of the Euro, US dollar (USD) or Swedish Crown (SEK) against allother currencies as at reporting date would have not significantly affect the measurement of the value of assets,liabilities or shareholder equity. The back to back structure of assets and liabilities is offsetting this risk.

3. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the ability to meet payment obligations cannot be ensured at all times. In economic terms, this is the risk resulting from the Company’s exposure to an increase of liquidity premiums. As presented under Note8 “Current and non-current receivables” and Note 10 “Non-current and current financial liabilities and other liabilities”,the management ensures that liquidity risk is kept at minimum by matching the liquidity and maturity structure ofassets and liabilities at all time.
A change in the interest, currency and market price movements are not impacting the liquidities of the Company atthe reporting date, value of assets, liability or shareholder equity in a significant way. The back to back structure ofassets and liabilities is offsetting these risks.
The maximum credit risk exposure of the Company in the event of other parties failing to perform their obligations isconsidered to be the carrying value of the loan.
2. Credit risk
Credit risk is associated with potential losses arising from a business partner’s (counterparty, issuer, othercontractual partner) default, i.e. its inability or unwillingness to meet contractual obligations, or the deterioration of itscreditworthiness, e.g. changes in the issuer credit rating.

Currency risk The Company has no significant currency risk as borrowings and lending contracts are denominated in Euro, thefunctional and presentation currency of the Company. The Company is only subject to individual insignificanttransactions in foreign currency which may arise. Sensitivity analysis A reasonable possible strengthening (weakening) of Euro, US dollar (USD) or Swedish Krona (SEK) against all othercurrencies as at reporting date would not have not significantly affect the measurement of the value of assets,liabilities or shareholder equity. The back to back structure of assets and liabilities is offsetting this risk.
Credit risk Credit risk is associated with potential losses arising from a business partner’s (counterparty, issuer, other contractualpartner) default, i.e. its inability or unwillingness to meet contractual obligations, or the deterioration of itscreditworthiness, e.g. changes in the issuer credit rating. The maximum credit risk exposure of the Company in the event of other parties failing to perform their obligations isconsidered to be carrying value of loan.
Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the ability to meet payment obligations cannot be ensured all the times. In economicterms, this is the risk resulting from the Company’s exposure to an increase of liquidity premiums. As presented underNote 8. “Non-current and current receivables” and 10. “Non-current and current financial liabilities and otherliabilities”, the Board ensure that liquidity risk is kept at minimum by matching the liquidity and maturity structure ofassets and liabilities at all time.
A change in the interest, currency and market price movements are not impacting the liquidities of the Company atthe reporting date, value of assets, liability or shareholder equity in significant way. The back to back structure ofassets and liabilities is offsetting these risks.
Market risk Price/ Interest rate risk Market risk is the potential of suffering losses due to changes in market prices or parameters influencing marketprices. It concludes changes concerning illiquidity of sub-markets resulting in the inability of buying/ selling positionsof a special size, within a special period of time or at fair value conditions. The interest rate risk is covered by the structure of the assets and liabilities. Through back to back structuringmanagement consider the interest cash flow risk to be mitigated.
Sensitivity analysis A reasonable possible change of 100 basis points in the interest rate at the reporting date is not impacting the valueof assets, liability or shareholder equity in a significant way. The back to back structure of assets and liabilities is offsetting this risk.
