The acquisitions of Fivestarday AB and Cool Group ApS
18 May 2015 LINK acquired all shares in Fivestarday AB. The company has assisted big
Swedish brands in their successful development of digital and mobile customer relation
strategies and solutions. The acquisition of Fivestarday is a result of LINK’s strategy to
become a complete provider of mobile B2B solutions for all businesses, public services and
organizations. Fivestarday was purchased at the price of MSEK 4,2, where MSEK 2,1
represent a possible earn out the sellers can obtain if Fivestarday meets certain sales and
financial targets during the first 24 months after closing. For further information regarding
the acquisition see note 2, 8 and 11.
30 June 2015 LINK acquired all shares in Cool Group ApS. Cool Group ApS owns 100 per
cent of the subsidiaries CoolSMS A/S, CoolTEL ApS and CoolSystems ApS. Cool Group
has, in addition of being a leading SMS aggregator, operator status. The operator status
gives Cool Group a unique position in the market, as it can transmit SMS traffic directly into
the other Danish operators’ network. Resulting in lower costs and high quality in terms of
delivery reliability. Through the acquisitions of Cool Group, LINK has become a leading
2

player in the Danish mobile B2B market, gained operator status and has increased its total
capacity in terms of technology and operational resources. The enterprise value of Cool
Group was MDKK 75, 2014 EV/EBITDA of 6. For further information regarding the
acquisition see note 2, 8, 10 and 11.
The acquisitions prove that LINK delivers upon its communicated strategy of creating
growth, by both increasing its share in existing markets and by entering new markets.
Furthermore, by combining LINK's, Fivestarday’s and Cool Group's wide range of mobile
services, operational resources, technology, business models and skilled employees, LINK
is about to reach its ambition of becoming a complete provider of mobile solutions for its
thousands of customers. LINK has now the capacity and capability to serve all companies,
public services and organizations that are “going mobile” in order to satisfy their customers’
and users’ rapidly growing demands for mobile services. LINK can assist in the whole
process; from developing mobile strategies and building mobile infrastructures to operating
mobile marketing/dialog with customers and providing mobile payment solutions.
A total of MNOK 2,5 of acquisition costs were booked in Q2 2015.
Increasing market share in existing markets represent great potential
The growth in revenue was mainly driven by the business segment LINK Dialog. In Q2
2015 LINK sent 184,4 million SMS on behalf of its customers, representing an increase of
13 percent from Q1 2015 and an increase of 35 percent from Q2 2014 (adjusted for
business acquired in 2014). The Norwegian business increased its A2P SMS market share
with 0,41 percentage point from 38,54 to 38,95 of the total market. Whereas the Swedish
business increased its A2P SMS market share by 3 percentage points from 13 to 16
percent.
4,7 million unique Norwegian mobile subscribers and 4,8 million unique Swedish
subscribers received SMS provided by LINK in Q2 2015. Given the total Norwegian
population of 5,2 million and the Swedish population of 9,8 million, LINK proves to have the
customer portfolios, technology and resources to assist its customers in reaching a
remarkable percentage of the population in its markets.
LINK’s solid customer portfolio, large markets shares and regular mobile communication
with a remarkable percentage of the mobile subscribers, give a unique position for further
growth in other mobile business segments as customers tend to start their path towards a
more complete mobilizing after first having taken SMS in use. Being a provider of complete
mobile solutions, LINK can assist all existing and potential customers towards the level of
mobilization fit for their businesses.
Given LINK’s growing organization in 5 geographical markets and the market’s increasing
demand for complete mobile solutions, LINK is about to establish a Solutions Sales Unit at
Group level to ensure optimal focus on its new solution Next. Through this new customer
software LINK can offer the market a mobile solution that manages every aspect of
customer dialog and allows customers to manage loyalty programs and target mobile
dialog; starting with look-up of a variety of information and registration of clients to
automatic dialog flow, segmentation tools, analytic tools and payment solutions. The

software can be implemented in POS, ecommerce platforms or other ERPs and can be part
of every businesses core systems.

Compared with the financial performance in Q2 2014, the revenue increased with 20
percent by MNOK 13 from MNOK 66 to MNOK 78,9. The revenue growth was to a large
extent driven by the business segment LINK Dialog increasing its share of the total revenue
from 58,8 percent in Q2 2014 to 63,9 percent in Q2 2015.
Gross margin increased with MNOK 1,6 from MNOK 29,4 to MNOK 31. Reducing the total
margin ratio from 44 percent to 39 percent. The reduction was mainly a result of LINK
Dialog’s growth relatively to the other business segment combined with a fall in LINK
Dialog’s margins. In addition, MNOK 0,5 of Q1 2015 costs were booked in Q2 2015 due to
incorrect billing from an operator. The acquisition of Cool Group gives LINK both operator
status and increased SMS volumes, and LINK is about to launch a project at Group level to
increase SMS margins. LINK Payment margin fell due to a higher share of donations with
low margins.
EBITDA was reduced with 5 percent by MNOK - 0,7 from MNOK 11,9 to MNOK 11,2, giving
a reduction of the EBITDA margin from 18 percent to 14 percent. A total of MNOK 2,5 in
acquisition costs were booked in Q2 2015. Adjusting for those extraordinary costs, the Q2
2015 EBITDA is MNOK 13,7. Giving an increase in EBITDA of MNOK 1,8, compared with
Q2 2014, and an EBITDA ration for Q2 2015 of 17 percent.
The figures on the next page show the overall financial development during the period from
Q1 2014 to Q2 2015, including businesses acquired in 2014, in terms of revenue, gross
margin and EBITDA.

Underlying seasonal trends in the mobile B2B market, create seasonal variations in most
business segments. Resulting in relatively weak Q1 and Q3, and strong Q4, as shown in
the development through the four quarters of 2014.
Q1 2015 and Q2 2015 show the same seasonal pattern, and that there is a strong
underlying growth in revenue. Weaker margin ratio is caused by the increasing share of
SMS revenue of the total revenue at lower margins. Measures are taken to improve SMS
margins. Adjusting for extraordinary acquisition costs of MNOK 2,5 in Q2 2015, EBITDA
shows positive development.
The figures on the next page show revenue per business segments in terms of MNOK and
in terms of the percentage of LINK’s total revenue during the period Q1 2014 to Q2 2015.
The figures include businesses acquired in 2014.

and represent in Q2 2015 63,9 percent of LINK’s revenue and 45 percent of the gross
margin. After the acquisition of Cool Group LINK Dialog will, based on the Q2 2015
financials, represent approximately 70 percent of total revenue.
LINK Consulting’s share of the total revenue has increased over the last quarters, and
represents 3,3 of LINK’s revenue in Q2 2015. The increase is mainly due to the delivery of
complete mobile solutions for Olav Thon Group 107 shopping centres’ customer clubs.

Market conditions and outlook
LINK is, due to the general expanding market for B2B mobile services and the recent
acquisition of Fivestarday and Cool Group, expecting continuing growth in terms of both
revenue and profits. In the short run, the growth will be driven mainly by SMS and
application sales.
LINK’s strategy has for the last 2 years been to expand its LINK Dialog, LINK Payment,
LINK Licence and LINK Consulting services in order to become the leading provider of B2B
mobile solutions in the Scandinavian and Baltic markets. During this period LINK has more
than doubled revenue, quadrupled profits and reached the goal of becoming the main
player in its markets.
Rapid technological developments have in the same period changed peoples’ use of mobile
phones significantly. Today, more than half of all global Google search is done by mobile
devices whereas a relatively little share of companies’, public services’ and organizations’
businesses are mobilized to such an extent that they meet the users’ present and future
demands for mobile services. LINK therefore expects an increase in the market for
complete B2B mobile services over the next years. When “going mobile”, businesses will
have to integrate mobile technology and solutions into their core business systems. LINK
has the software, technological platforms, operational resources and experience to assist
all these businesses in their drive towards mobilization. The market and LINK have
simultaneously reached the point of development, where it is natural for LINK to start
directing its main focus towards solutions sales.
LINK’s ambition for the next years is to become the main provider of complete mobile
solutions within its existing geographical markets as well as in new markets. All companies,
public services and organizations with B2C business are potential customers of LINK’s
complete B2B mobile solutions.
Future growth, like past growth, will be achieved through a combination of further
development of the exiting LINK business as well as through M&As.
