Interim Report January – March 2015

FIRST QUARTER 2015

  · Sales increased with 6.2% compared with the same period last year. Growth
adjusted for last year’s currency rates was 4.1%. Winter was again mild as last
year, limiting freeze related damages. Order backlog is 20% higher than last
year.
  · Operating profit before amortization and non-recurring items (EBITA before
NRI) amounted to EUR 4.4 million, which was an improvement of 13%. The result in
Europe improved with 60%. North America is below last year which was influenced
by the 2013 Polar Vortec which caused a lot of freeze damages and the scope in
the large US project (NYCHA) was reduced.
  · Operating profit (EBITA) amounted to EUR 4.4 million (3.1).
  · During the annual audit, which took place after the release of the interim
report for 2014, the margin in the NYCHA project was revaluated. The result of
the revaluation was a loss on the project and EUR 1.9 million was therefore
booked in 2014. The work on the project was finalised late April and the
remaining administrative work is anticipated to take 8 weeks.
  · In January Polygon UK acquired Harwell Document Restoration Services Ltd.
Harwell is specialized in document restauration with annual sales of EUR 2.3
million.
  · On 12 January 2015, Lucas Hendriks was appointed as the new Chairman of the

Norway. After the closing of Q1 Andreas Weber has replaced Rene Just as country

Comments from the CEO
With the basics in place, we are beginning to see results

2014 was a challenging year for Polygon as we faced a significant downturn in
the second and third quarters, largely due to very unfavourable weather
conditions for our core business. Apart from the problems in the large project
in US resulting in a loss, the last quarter in 2014 showed a good trend in most
countries. Q1 2015 confirms that development and we conclude that all countries
with new management have improved performance.

The operating result (EBITA before NRI) improved in Q1 with 13% versus last year
which is encouraging and a result of dedicated work on the basics. We have not
been helped by the weather which as last year has been too mild for the season.

We are better prepared to meet the challenges in Q2 which historically is our
weakest quarter. The backlog is better than last year and the improvement
actions should give positive effects both on the project margin side as on the
cost side. Germany improved its performance during 2013 but plateaued in 2014
and therefore was not as good as expected. In April we changed the country
president and have put a restructuring program in place focusing on improving
the efficiency which will show positive effects during 2015.

North America struggles from a lack of hurricanes and was positively impacted by
the Polar Freeze in late December 2013. Some good projects are coming in but as
in Germany we have put improvement actions in place. The large project (NYCHA)
is of a disappointment both with the effects in 2014 and well managed it should
have contributed a lot in the first half year 2015. In May we changed the
country president in US and decided to focus the business on the profitable TCS
activity.

Short term outlook
Improved backlog, new framework agreements and effects from productivity
measurements should partly compensate for the low activity in the second
quarter. We expect reduced indirect cost levels from the restructuring projects
in US and Germany.

Market development
There are several market trends in the property damage restoration market that
benefit larger players like Polygon such as: the centralization of procurement,
the customer preference for end-to-end solutions and the more complex
requirements for front-end IT systems. Global warming is gradually increasing
rainfall levels and extreme weather which consequently will increase water
damages.

Part of Polygon’s business is dependent on extraordinary weather elements.
Markets such as the US normally witness several hurricanes with consequent
property damages.

Net sales and profit for the first quarter 2015
Consolidated sales amounted to EUR 111.0 million - an increase of 6.2% compared
to the same quarter last year. Organic growth excluding exchange rate and
acquisition effects amounted to 3.5%. Europe shows a growth of 6% while North
America is in local currency 13% below last year’s sales mostly due to a
decrease of 45% in Canada. Order backlog for the group improved with 20% versus
last year.

Operating profit for the group before amortization and non-recurring items
(EBITA before NRI) amounted to EUR 4.4 million (3.9) - an improvement of 13%
versus the same period last year. Earnings have been positively impacted
compared to last year in most markets as an effect of last year’s restructuring
programs. Germany is on the same level as last year and has not showed the
required improvement. North America is behind last year as the mix is
unfavourable with less TCS sales than expected and low margin in the large NYCHA
project. Restructuring cost in Q1 is on a low level, EUR 43 thousands versus 716
last year, but will increase with the planed actions in Germany and US starting
in Q2.

Net financial income for the period amounted to EUR 0.8 million including
exchange rates gains of EUR 2.6 million (loss 2.0). Profit before tax for the
period amounted to EUR 3.8 million (loss 0.2), and net profit was EUR 3.7
million (loss 0.1).

Cash flow and financing
Cash flows from operating activities during the first quarter of 2015 amounted
to EUR 0.7 million (1.5) and cash flows before financing activities amounted to
EUR -1.8 million (-0.2). Due to the NYCHA-project and building up of work in
progress, as part of the high business activity late in the quarter, working
capital has increased since year-end.

Total interest-bearing net debt amounted to EUR 107.3 million (December 2014:
101.7).

Equity amounted to EUR 45.6 million (December 2014: 42.4).

The Group’s liquidity buffer amounted to EUR 26.5 million (December 2014: 31.9),
comprising cash and cash equivalents of EUR 16.1 million (December 2014: 21.5)
and unutilised contracted loan commitments of EUR 10.4 million. (December 2014:
10.4)

Capital expenditure
Capital expenditure during the first quarter of 2015 amounted to EUR 2.5 million
(1.7).

Parent company
The consolidated figures in the report are presented at the consolidated level
of Polygon AB. The parent company, Polygon AB (corporate registration number
556816-5855), directly and indirectly holds 100% of the shares in all
subsidiaries in the Group, except for the company in Denmark of which the non
-controlled interest is 24.2% Net income for Polygon AB for the first quarter
amounted to a loss of EUR 63 thousands (profit 42).

Most significant risks and uncertainty factors
Around 75% of Polygons business is property damage control following a seasonal
pattern of predictable demand. The remaining 25% is related to more extreme and
less predictable events caused by weather and fire. The frequency of property
damage can vary depending on circumstances beyond Polygon’s control, the outdoor
temperature and weather. Since part of Polygon’s cost structure is fixed, the
proceeds of the operations are to some extent unpredictable and vary from time
to time.

Polygon is to a large extent dependent on its key customers, the insurance
companies, and must maintain mutually beneficial relationships with them to
compete effectively. Our top ten customers comprise about 30% of Polygon´s
sales, with the newest customer on the top-ten list representing a seven-year
relationship.

For further elaboration of the Group’s risk and uncertainty factors, please
refer to the 2014 Annual Report.

Polygon’s view is that there have not been any significant changes during the
reporting period with regards to risks and factors of uncertainty that were
presented in the Annual Report.
