Acquisition of Datamann A/S and Infoeasy AS

CEO´S COMMENTS

The quarter got off to a quick start, with two acquisitions in two days. The two acquired companies – Datamann in Denmark and Infoeasy in Norway – both deliver software to the automotive industry. Together with Autodata in Norway, these now form Business Area Auto, which will have annual sales of approximately SEK 100 million. At the same time as Business Area Auto is being strengthened, this also entails improved spreading of risks within the group. Four of seven business areas presently have sales of over SEK 100 million and no business area constitutes more than 30 percent of the group.

Vitec's financial position and preparedness for future acquisitions are good. The credit facility of SEK 250 million arranged on June 30, along with the group's earning capabilities, provides the financial conditions. We intend to continue growing through acquisitions, and with a Nordic focus we are monitoring a list of prospects of about 100 attractive, vertical software companies, with combined sales in excess of SEK 4 billion. We thus see good conditions for continued acquisitions.

Following our applied business model, with strivings for a high portion of recurring revenue, continues to produce results. Recurring revenue accounted for 81% (78% last year) of the quarter's total revenue, and for the year's first three quarters, the corresponding figure was 79% (75%). The high portion of recurring revenue gives us the capability to take a long-term and consistent approach, at the same time as it provides excellent conditions for absorbing temporary downturns within individual business areas.

With a clear shift from traditional licensing to a subscription model (SaaS), the portion of recurring revenue and the operating margin increase simultaneously. Together with our employees' tremendous capacity for renewal and integrating acquisitions, this provides good conditions for long-term development of our entire organization. With frequent acquisitions of well-established companies and a growing portion of recurring revenue, Vitec will continue along the established path, operating in several independent and specialized niche markets to achieve sustainable and profitable growth.

January - September 2015

The group’s focus on increasing repetitive revenue streams and efficiency continues to produce positive effects. The period has been strong and brought improvements to nearly all of our operations. Two new units have been added to Business Area Auto during the period, which has further increased both sales and repetitive revenue streams, and strengthened our product portfolio.

Business Area Estate Agent

Our Swedish organization held its annual user meetings, which for the first time, were overbooked. We set a new record by a wide margin in total participants. During the period, the real estate firm of Erik Olsson

Fastighetsförmedling deployed our new web-based system Express. In making full use of our cloud service, the firm has become 100 percent mobile, giving estate agents both considerable flexibility and increased efficiency. Our Norwegian organization launched a new integration engine, Vitec Hub, which makes it easier for external solutions to integrate with our systems. We also co-located one of our units to downtown Oslo.

Business Area Real Estate

Real Estate continues the strong trend with constant improvements both to sales volumes and profits. The order volume is strong and we are continuing to win market shares. During the period, the business area's largest-ever implementation project was completed according to plan for our customer Förvaltaren in Sundbyberg. Just as for Estate Agent in Sweden, Real Estate set a new participant record for its user meeting, which was recently held in Solna.

Business Area Media

A new version of the Balans business system was launched during the period. We have seen continued high demand for our services among the business area's larger customers.

Business Area Energy

Energy reported increases both in profits and sales during the period. The business area continues to place major emphasis on cultivating the European market, primarily when it comes to wind and energy prognoses.

Business Area Health

Health provides a complete, web-based, medical records system for the Finnish market. During the period, a specification project was begun for a new larger customer. The previous product unit Koupio has moved to Tammerfors and operations have thus become better coordinated at a single geographical location.

Business Area Auto

Business Area Auto strongly increased sales during the period. This was because of a new company in Norway that provides repair shop systems and a new company in Denmark with software for car dealerships and repair shops. Our previous organization in Norway released a new software version for the Norwegian car inspection market.

Business Area Finance and Insurance

Finance and Insurance in Denmark has launched the latest version of our portfolio management system. The new version entails a technology upgrade that gives our customers a modern and efficient solution. Roll-out of the new version means that we can now shift our focus and cultivate the market with full force. The Swedish organization has signed a new customer agreement for our solution for capital gains.

Our mission is to provide industry-specific business solutions where our strategy is to focus on niches where there are needs that not as cost-effective can be met by general ERP-systems. In these niches we strive for a leading position. Our offer includes:

 proprietary software

 SaaS (Software as a Service), support and maintenance

 specialist services

The current market is made up to 50 % of Sweden, 24 % of Norway, 15 % of Denmark and 11 % of Finland. LONG CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS

Vitec formed in 1985 and has since 1998 been a public company based on software solutions. With our products and related services, we act in the long term, build trust and create confidence among our customers. We create value for customers through a customer-focused approach and a well-tailored program offering that supports, develops and increases the profitability of our customers' daily work processes.

BUSINESS MODEL WITH RECURRING REVENUE

Recurring contract revenues are a central part of the Vitecs business model. Recurring contract revenue includes recurring revenues for the use of our software, access to our customer service and new refined versions of our software. Technology trend today is for a more modern model in which the functionality of the software is delivered over the Internet. This movement means that our offer is extended to include the operation of the software and the data storage. This increases the proportion of recurring revenue contracts, which gives us a stable, predictable and recurring revenue volume while providing our customers with a secure overall offering. A business model with a high proportion of recurring revenue also gives us a good annual operating capital and reduces sensitivity to economic downturns. High proportion of recurring revenue contracts also provide strong cash flows, which is an important prerequisite for continued growth.

PROFITABLE GROWTH

Vitec has a pronounced growth strategy with a combination of acquisitions and organic growth. Growth is important because it gives us energy and creates new opportunities. Acquisitions are also important to achieve cost and volume advantages and are also strategically important for the expansion to new markets and niches. Our acquisitions were initially made in Sweden in the niches in which we first appeared, but has gradually expanded to include new niches and new markets. Today we are a software company that offers specific business throughout the Nordic market and our business is established in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark. We identify and evaluates acquisition targets in all Nordic countries. During our long history, we have been in constant growth and every year improved our results. We have, however, held fast to our strategy to operate within specialized software niches to create sustainable and
