This presentation contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements (other than statements of historical fact) relating to future events and Nets’ anticipated or planned financial and operational performance. The words ‘may’, ‘will’, ‘will continue’, ‘should’, ‘expect’, ‘foresee’, ‘anticipate’, ‘believe’, ‘estimate’, ‘plan’, ‘predict’, ‘intend’ or variations of these words, including negatives thereof, as well as other statements regarding matters that are not historical facts or regarding future events or prospects, constitute forward-looking statements. Nets has based these forward-looking statements on its current views with respect to future events and financial performance. These views involve a number of risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted in the forward-looking statements and from the past performance of

  • Nets. Although Nets believes that the estimates and projections reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, they

may prove materially incorrect, and actual results may materially differ, e.g. as the result of risks related to the industry in general

  • r Nets in particular.

Factors that may affect future results include, but are not limited to, global and economic conditions, including currency exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations, delay or failure of projects related to research and/or development, unexpected contract breaches or terminations, unplanned loss of patents, government-mandated or market-driven price decreases for Nets’ products, introduction of competing products, reliance on information technology, Nets’ ability to successfully market current and new products, exposure to product liability, litigation and investigations, regulatory developments, actual or perceived failure to adhere to ethical marketing practices, unexpected growth in costs and expenses, failure to recruit and retain the right employees, and failure to maintain a culture of compliance.

Strong growth in adjusted net profit

Organic growth of 5% in net revenue. Reported growth negatively impacted by lower NOK and SEK Operating expense ratio lowered from 65.0% to 64.0% in Q2 2017 primarily due to operating leverage and optimisation of processes primarily related to the e-bill-payment area Staff costs impacted by new employee tax in Norway and increased sales activities including hiring of outbound sales personnel Special items in Q2 2017 reduced to DKK 40m from DKK 105m last year due to lower IPO-related expenses and lower expenses relating to the transformation programme Underlying depreciation lower in Q2 2017 as 2016 was impacted by revised useful lifetime on now fully amortised assets Net financials in Q2 2017 of minus DKK 40m. Net financial expenses significantly reduced compared to Q2 last year due to refinancing, reduced leverage and positive currency effects. Currency was positive with DKK 83m in Q2 2017 compared to a negative effect of DKK 28m in Q2 last year Negative effects of VISA transaction of DKK 1m compared to a positive effect of DKK 255m last year Taxes amounted to DKK 21m in Q2 corresponding to an effective tax rate of 6%. The effective tax rate was positively impacted by non-taxable currency adjustments on interest-bearing debt Adjusted Net Profit up by 84% positively impacted by both the improved EBITDA b.s.i. and significantly lower financial expenses DKKm Q2 Q2 Change 2017 2016 Net revenue 1,919 1,844 4.1% Cost of sales (236) (237)
