Brisk Growth in Mobile TV and Music

- Net sales for the third quarter 2009 were SEK 106.7 m (SEK 106.9 m). High
sales growth in the Mobile TV (129%) and Music (39%) segments. In Mobile TV, the

- Earnings after tax for the third quarter were SEK 2.2 m (SEK 6.4 m).
- Aspiro started a joint venture, Kompanjong AS, with Norway's largest music
store chain, Platekompaniet. Kompanjong holds the rights to the Wimp music
streaming service in Norway. Launch is scheduled for December.
- Aspiro signed a music deal in the US to outlicense its music download and
streaming technology. This deal is expected to bring a minimum of SEK 10 m over
a three-year period, with further potential within the terms of the agreement.
- Aspiro expanded its partnership with TVNorge, by Mobile Solutions becoming its
main partner on text and IVR services. This partnership is expected to provide
Aspiro with further sales growth in 2009 and beyond. 

- Aspiro is continuing to focus on growth in Mobile TV, Music and Mobile
Solutions. Mobile Entertainment and Mobile Search are expected to decline with
market, affecting overall growth and earnings performance.

segment.

in Mobile TV, Music and Mobile Solutions going forward”, commented Gunnar
