Proffice half year report JANUARY JUNE 2010 The market is on the way up turnover is increasing April June 2010 Net turnover was MSEK 1.024 (1.004) Operating profit before tax MSEK 25 (40) Operating margin 2.3 % (4.0 %) Operating profit after tax MSEK16 (25) Earnings per share SEK 0.20 (0.34) Cash flow from current operations MSEK -64 (5) During the period, in accordance with the resolution of the Annual General Meeting, the Company distributed MSEK 45 in dividends to shareholders, of which MSEK 11 attributable to minorities. Proffice acquires Legevisitten Bemanning, a health care company. January June 2010 Net turnover was MSEK1.931 (2.053) Operating profit before tax MSEK 53 (88) Operating margin 2.7 % (4.3%) Operating profit after tax MSEK 37(59) Earnings per share SEK 0.42 (0.80) Cash flow from current operations MSEK -70 (52) Lars Kry, CEO, comments: The business climate is clearly improving. Now that companies are growing, staffing solutions are often the first choice for being able to expand quickly and improve competitiveness. This trend is especially strong in Sweden. It is also very satisfying that both turnover and earnings have improved in our Norwegian business. The Proffice Group as a whole increased turnover during the quarter to MSEK 1.024, compared with MSEK 1.004. Operating profit was MSEK 25, compared with MSEK 40. Our Swedish temporary staffing and recruitment operations have grown strongly. During the second quarter of 2010, turnover was MSEK 716 compared with MSEK 602 for the same period of the previous year, an increase of 20 percent. Profitability has grown from MSEK 34 to MSEK 57, an increase of 68 percent. While this part of Proffice is expanding, we are seeing how other parts are contracting on account of the improved business climate. Sales in outplacement declined by MSEK 78, or 67 percent, when Q2 2010 is compared with Q2 2009. Here, we made a loss of MSEK 12 during the quarter, compared with a profit of MSEK 32 one year ago. We have successfully reduced costs and repositioned ourselves quickly; however, some work remains to be done. Our specialist company, Antenn, has succeeded in taking market shares, despite the fact that the market has declined by 70 percent over the past year. Proffice 1(13)

This shows the dynamism and strength of our balanced offering. Temporary staffing and recruitment grow when times are good, while outplacement grows when times are not so good. It is now important to improve the profitability within outplacement as soon as possible at the same time as we continue to improve the profitability within temporary staffing and recruitment. Our specialisation strategy has been successful and now the process is continuing. Proffice is launching a new specialist company, Proffice Finance. This business covers recruitment and temporary staffing in finance at all levels from CFO to accounting assistants. We will also offer interim solutions for executive managerial positions a very interesting segment. Thanks to our specialisation strategy, we are better able to meet the demands of customers and candidates. We have recruited top management and consultant managers to the company with extensive sector experience a background that customers request as a sounding board in staffing issues. This has been an important factor in the success of our other specialist companies. The market is immense, and will continue to grow. Today, the Swedish market is worth BSEK 2,5. With the launch of Proffice Finance, our emphasis will be on taking a larger share of the cake. Today, we have also an acquisition to present. Legevisitten Bemanning specialises in temporary staffing of doctors, with an annual turnover of about MSEK 200. The company is active in Sweden and Norway. Proffice is strengthening its position in a substantial market, which is also relatively stable as regards the business cycle. This acquisition will lead to Proffice being biggest within the temporary staffing of doctors in Sweden, and number two in Norway. The care market is undergoing a consolidation in which both customers and staffing companies are merging, and our ambition is to continue to strengthen our position. Our strong balance sheet gives us good prospects of continuing to make selective acquisitions although the main part of Proffice s growth, as stated previously, will continue to be organic. We do not purchase turnover, we seek new or complementary positions in interesting specialist areas. The outlook continues to be good. In total, our assessment remains unchanged, that the downturn in outplacement will be compensated by the increase in temporary staffing and recruitment, primarily driven by developments in Sweden and Norway. The business climate is now improving with increased opportunities for growth. Our goal is clear and challenging Proffice is to be the most successful staffing company in the Nordic Area. This means that we will maintain a high tempo and will react quickly in the market to meet customers requirements and offer the best solutions. Proffice 2(13)

Additional buy-back of shares At the Proffice Annual General Meeting on 6 May 2010, the board was authorised to make decisions regarding the acquisition and transfer of the Company s own shares.

Proffice 3(13)

Proffice and ICA enter into a long-term partnership Proffice and ICA entered into a two-year cooperation agreement in 2008 for the collective agreement and salaried employees sector. The agreement, which was then unique for the sector, has been renewed and developed further for a period of 3.5 years. Proffice has the status of Preferred Supplier, which means that ICA and Proffice will concentrate cooperation further with even stronger ties. Mediakompetens signed an agreement with Schibsted Sverige Schibsted Sverige AB has signed an agreement with Proffice Mediakompetens. The agreement covers staffing services for editorial personnel and runs for a year.

Maria Rosengren comes to us from TV4 Sverige, where she was business area head. Acquisition of Legevisitten Bemanning Proffice acquires Legevisitten Bemanning, specialised in physician staffing with operations in Sweden and Norway, with a turnover of MSEK 200 during 2009. Proffice will pay a fixed purchase sum for 100 per cent of the shares. In addition to the fixed purchase sum, there will be an additional purchase sum which will be based on the results for the full year 2011. Proffice s preliminary assessment is that the purchase sum is primarily attributable to intangible assets. The acquisition is expected to have a positive effect on the results already during this financial year. Through the acquisition Proffice will strengthen the position in the health care market. The acquisition needs an approval by the Norwegian competition authority (Konkurransetillsynet).. Proffice 4(13)

THE GROUP Group turnover and operating profit The Group s net turnover for the second quarter 2010 amounted to MSEK 1.024 (1.004). This is an increase in turnover of 2% compared to the same quarter of the previous year. This is largely attributable to the increase in turnover within temporary staffing, primarily in Sweden. The turnover within outplacement has declined by MSEK 78 or 67 per cent, when comparing Q2 2010 to Q2 2009. The Group s operating result for the second quarter 2010 amounted to MSEK 25 (40), a decline of 37% compared with the same period of the previous year. The decline is largely attributable to the market situation within outplacement. The operating result for outplacement showed a loss of MSEK -12 during the quarter, compared with a profit of MSEK 32 previous year. Earnings after financial items for the quarter amounted to MSEK 24 (39), a decline of 38% compared with the same period of the previous year. The Group s net turnover for the first half year of 2010 amounted to MSEK 1.931 (2.053). This is a decline in turnover of 6 % compared with the same period of the previous year. This is largely attributable to the new market situation in outplacement and the lag in Norway during the first quarter. The Group s operating result for the first half year amounted to MSEK 53 (88), a decline of 40% compared with the same period of the previous year. The decline is attributable to a reduced demand within outplacement. Earnings after financial items for the first half year amounted to MSEK 52 (87), a decline of 40% compared with the same period of the previous year. Liquidity and financial position Cash and bank at the end of the period was MSEK 136 (191) and the equity/assets ratio was 40 (38) %. Disposable liquid assets, including unused credit undertakings, amounted to MSEK 341 (371). Interest-bearing liabilities amounted to MSEK 19 (30). During the first half year, Group interest-bearing liabilities have been payed off by MSEK 5. The Group shareholders equity at the end of the period was MSEK 603 (594). Shareholders equity has increased by MSEK 28 since the turn of the year. Of the Group s non-restricted equity, a total of MSEK 45 has been distributed to the shareholders. Cash flow Cash flow for the second quarter from current operations amounted to MSEK -64 (5), of which changes in working capital amounted to MSEK -83 (-27). The change in receivables is attributable as a whole to accounts receivable. The change in accounts receivable can be explained partly by the increase of accounts receivable due less than a week, almost 70% of the increase, partly the increase of turnover between the quarters. Cash flow for the period from current operations amounted to MSEK -70 (52), of which changes in working capital amounted to MSEK -85 (-13). This is attributable to the market turn around for recruitment and temporary staffing and to an increased binding of capital in accounts receivable. Cash flow from investment activities amounted to MSEK -12 (-17), acquisition of tangible fixed assets amounted to MSEK -1 (-12). Cash flow from financing operations amounted to MSEK -45 (-18) and is largely attributable to the pay off of an acquisition loan for Medifact AS by MSEK -5 (-4) and the distribution to shareholders by MSEK -40 (-2). After the period another MSEK 5 has been paid off. Cash flow from current operations has been affected by payment of taxes of MSEK -52 (-28). Taxes The Group s tax expense for the first half year amounted to MSEK -15 (-28). The tax rate for the year amounts to 29% (32) %. Income taxes recoverable in respect of the year s deficit in parts of the Danish businesses have not been activated. The tax expense is calculated on the basis of the current tax rate for the Parent Company Proffice 5(13)

and subsidiary companies respectively. Consideration is given to temporary differences and existing deficit deductions. Personnel The average number of employees in the Group amounted to 6,375 (6,647), a reduction of 272 employees or 4%. OPERATING AREAS During the second quarter Temporary staffing increased by 10%, largely attributable to the improved market situation in Sweden and Norway. Recruitment has increased by 32%, largely attributable to the improved market situation in Sweden by 39%. Outplacement has declined by 67%, due to the changed market conditions and a reduced demand. During the first half year Temporary staffing increased by 1 %, to a large extent due to an increase in the Swedish operations. Recruitment increased by 23 %, primarily driven by an improvement in the Swedish market with 35%. Outplacement declined by 65 %, largely attributable to the declined outplacement market.

Business area Industry/Logistics is showing good growth. The business area currently has 31% (25%) of the total Temporary Staffing turnover. Also during the second quarter, the recruitment freeze in Region Huvudstaden in Denmark attributes to a decline in business area Care. During the first half year Temporary staffing is Proffice s largest operational area, and is divided into a number of business areas. Some activities are conducted in Nordic specialist companies and other areas are conducted in national units. The decline in business areas Finance and Office/Customer Service are mainly attributable to the market in Norway, and late implementation of agreements with some major Norwegian companies during the first quarter. The decline within Care is due to the recruitment freeze in Region Huvudstaden in Denmark. Proffice 6(13)

Temporary Staffing and Recruitment had a strong growth. During the second quarter 2010 the turnover was MSEK 716, compared to MSEK 602 during the same period previous year, an increase by 20%. The profitability has increased by MSEK 34 to MSEK 57, an increase by 68 per cent. Turnover within outplacement has declined by MSEK 78 or 67 per cent, when comparing Q2 2010 with Q2 2009. This was a loss by MSEK -12 for the quarter, compared to previous year s profit of MSEK 32. The specialisation strategy continued to have a positive effect compared with the market in general. Norway Norway was affected later than Sweden both by the market downturn and upturn. During the second quarter, the trend in turnover changed and the turnover increases. Earnings have clearly improved from MSEK -11 during the second quarter last year to a profit of MSEK 4 during this quarter. Denmark Proffice Care experienced a considerable decline in volume on account of an employment freeze in Region Huvudstaden, which had a negative effect on earnings also during the second quarter. Restructuring measures carried out by Proffice A/S have produced a considerable improvement in earnings. This includes all temporary staffing activities excluding Care. The companies in Denmark underwent a restructuring programme, and now have joint management for both businesses. Finland Proffice Finland experienced a decline in volumes during the period compared with the previous year. The operating result for the period is the same. Proffice 7(13)

The decline in turnover and earnings of the Nordic specialist companies is primarily attributable to the decline in the Outplacement business area. The specialisation strategy continues to have a positive effect on margins in total. In Proffice s national companies, there has been a positive growth. The Nordic specialist companies has had a negative growth, the largest single cause is the decline in the Outplacement business area. The operating margin of the national companies has improved, and now amounts to 5.4 (1.5) % during the first half year. The operating margin for the national specialist companies has declined and amounts to 0.6 (12.8) % for the period. Proffice s business model is based on balanced operating areas with a purpose to give the Group a stable financial development. At the recovery of the business climate there was a delay in the market, which gave Outplacement a decline before the upturn in Recruitment and Temporary Staffing. The change from the first quarter to the second quarter of the operating profit for Other is attributable to the timing of the different projects.
