Interim Report Orc Group Holding AB January 1 – March 31, 2015

Regulatory NewS:

Orc Group (STO:ORC):

INTEGRATION OF TBRICKS NEARLY COMPLETE

> Operating revenue for the period from January to March 2015 was SEK 114,236k (97,789), an increase of 17% compared to the same period of 2014. Adjusted for foreign exchange effects, revenue has increased by SEK 9,447k, most of which was contributed by the acquisition of Tbricks.

> Adjusted EBITDA was SEK 44,090k (41,274) and adjusted EBITDA-CAPEX was SEK 12,815k (16,301). Operating expenses and CAPEX, adjusted for one-off effects, were higher than in the corresponding period of last year, which is mainly explained by the acquisition of Tbricks and a weaker Swedish krona.

> Due to the acquisition of Tbricks, Orc has decided that the majority of future product development will derive from Tbricks trading platform. This has resulted in an impairment of the carrying value of technology related to Orc’s trading platform of SEK 148,000k.

COMMENTS FROM CEO TORBEN MUNCH:

"During the first quarter, Orc has, in addition to our ongoing business activities, been focused on implementing the integration of Tbricks. The first 100 days since the acquisition have passed, and we are pleased to almost have completed the integration in that time.

To ensure that our clients retain our full attention, significant emphasis has been put on a swift integration. We continue with great intensity to demonstrate the many advantages of our new platform to customers across the globe, with very positive reactions.

As a result of the acquisition, revenue increased significantly in the first quarter. The cost side was however negatively affected by the weakening Swedish krona. In addition, full synergies from the acquisition are yet to be reflected in the figures. The result therefore declined compared to the previous quarter. We are however confident with regard to the acquisition’s positive effects on the cost base over time.”
