FIRST QUARTER: JANUARY-MARCH 2020

• Total operating revenue amounted to SEK 229 M (275), a decrease of 17%. Adjusted for divested units, the decrease was 8%.
• EBITDA amounted to SEK 19 M (24). The EBITDA margin was 8.3% (8.7%). Adjusted EBITDA amounted to SEK 19 M (24).
• Net income for the period was SEK -652 M (-38), and was charged with an impairment of intangible assets of SEK 600 M.
• Earnings per ordinary share for the period were SEK -9.81 (-0.59) before and after dilution.
• The review of the long-term capital structure by the Board of Directors led to a proposal in January 2020 concerning a new recapitalization of the Parent Company that would include such measures as an exchange of convertible promissory notes and bonds for newly issued preference shares. On March 27, 2020, it was confirmed that the recapitalization proposal set forth had not gained the required acceptance and the Board determined in accordance with Chapter 25, Section 13 of the Companies Act that a balance sheet for liquidation purposes would be drawn up for the Parent Company, Eniro AB.
• A company reorganization pertaining to the Parent Company, Eniro AB, was initiated on March 30, 2020.
• The COVID-19 pandemic struck in parallel with the recapitalization, and Eniro also suffered from the financial consequences. New sales were negatively affected, and projects that were a condition for previous plans had to be postponed. In light of the changed assumptions, on March 31 the Board of Directors decided on an impairment to goodwill of SEK 600 M. The Parent Company’s shares in its subsidiaries were impaired by SEK 648 M on the same date, which resulted in the shareholders’ equity in the Parent Company being exhausted.
• As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of measures were initiated in March to counter the direct negative effect on Eniro’s additional sales and new customer sales.

EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE PERIOD

• To counter the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, corporate management has begun implementing cost-saving measures in all areas. There are no recruitments as regards earlier vacancies, and employee numbers are being reduced in all parts of the Group.
• In accordance with the regulations in Chapter 25, Section 15 of the Companies Act, the balance sheet for liquidation purposes, as well as the auditor’s statement, will be presented at an initial meeting for liquidation purposes. This initial meeting for liquidation purposes will coincide with the Annual General Meeting.
• The Annual General Meeting of Eniro AB (publ) has been postponed until 16 June 2020.
