CEO´s comments on the quarter:
“Our operations enjoyed good growth in 2007, and our sales and earnings gradually improved over the year. The uncertainty that naturally arose as a result of the tender offer for Telelogic’s shares that was announced on June 11, 2007 has been dealt with effectively, and
we have gradually regained customer confidence. In the third quarter we raised our previously announced full year growth and earnings per share forecasts. Both these targets have now been reached by a good margin.
Our new, product-focused organization is functioning smoothly, and all our product categories have enjoyed solid growth. I am especially happy to see that two of our three product categories progressed from weak growth in 2006 to double-digit growth in 2007, and that our acquired products are continuing to develop favorably.
Geographically speaking, EMEA has been the strongest market division for Telelogic during the year, although all our market divisions achieved double-digit growth for the full year. Contribution margins also gradually improved over the year, resulting in Telelogic’s best
operating margin since our IPO nine years ago.
Telelogic is in good shape for 2008.”
Anders Lidbeck, President and CEO for Telelogic
