CEO comment

"I'm very pleased to be able to show a quarterly outcome with continued positive results. This shows that we can balance costs and revenues even in a quarter where new major business is not realized. We are proving that our innovative solutions meet the needs of mobile operators to stimulate sales for their retailers. The increase to over 1.3 billion transactions this quarter from our customers has resulted in license upgrades directly linked to increased activity by the operators in the digital channel. The quarter's turnover was SEK 18.1 million and EBITDA SEK 2.4 million.

A new customer in East Africa has already reached full production after a project delivery at record speed. SDS's ability to delivery is better than ever and it looks promising for the future with the number of potential projects we face. During the quarter, we participated in an operator group strategy meeting where we were given the opportunity to listen and discuss their needs for the future, thus comparing our product strategy with their market needs.

We have long been focusing on broadening our business model with the intention of increasing the share of recurring earnings. Today we have a very good percentage of recurring income represented by annual support fees and managed operations for our customers systems. Most of the other income has been represented by project-based revenues in recent years. Different customers show different openness and willingness to replace a large initial project investment against a running profit sharing. During this quarter, one of our existing customers chose to pay monthly subscriptions to use our promotional and marketing solution for retailers, thus using some of their sales and marketing budgets instead of making a traditional IT investment into a product. We are also discussing several new potential business opportunities that have focus on recurring income in the form of either transaction-based revenue or profit sharing.

The third quarter is usually characterized by reduced activity from customers in the telecom industry. The focus is on the last quarter of the calendar year, where mobile operators spend the remainder of the year's budget and start spending the next year's budget to maximize returns within the same business year. SDS is well aware of the cyclical behavior of the customers and is well suited to take advantage of it. I'm really looking forward to an exciting and challenging future.
