Disclaimer
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
or 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
