From the CEO – "Focus on profitability improvement in a streamlined
organisation"

Poolia reported earnings for continuing operations in the fourth quarter of SEK
-0.8 (-30.5) million. Restructuring costs had an adverse effect of SEK 1.5
million on earnings for the quarter. Revenue for the quarter was SEK 182.2
(207.7) million, a decline of 12.2%.

Earnings for continuing operations for the full year were SEK 2.4 million.
Excluding costs associated with the former CEO (SEK 3.7 million), Q4
restructuring­ costs (SEK 1.5 million) and losses from the previously
discontinued operations Poolia Lead (SEK 0.8 million) and Poolia Talent Eye (SEK
1.0 million), earnings for continuing operations amounted to SEK 9.4 million for
2013.

A focused cost reduction programme has been implemented for the support
functions and will reduce annual costs by approx. SEK 9 million. The programme
has resulted in restructuring­ costs of SEK 1.5 million in the fourth quarter.

Market demand remains weak. However, there were signs of some positive market
trends towards the end of the period. Prices continue to be unchanged.

Poolia Sweden reported earnings of SEK -3.0 (-29.5) million for the fourth
quarter of 2013. Revenue was SEK 141.2 (173.2) million, a decline of 18%. Demand
for temporary staffing services is stable but at a low level. Demand for
permanent placement has been low compared with the previous year. However, we
have seen an increase in permanent placement enquiries in Sweden at the end of
the period. Large-scale initiatives to improve profitability have been
conducted. Marketing and sales activity has increased significantly as a result
of clearer requirements, a substantial increase in sales work and simplified
internal processes. The number of employees in the support functions has been
reduced in order to reduce costs and allow some increase in the number of sales
staff.

Poolia Germany's revenue for the fourth quarter grew by 13%, which means that
Poolia continues to gain market shares. Earnings continued to show positive
growth. Development of the offices that are not yet showing satisfactory
profitability is continuing as planned.

Poolia Finland reported a strong fourth quarter. Revenue grew by 23% in local
currency, with a good operating margin of 8.7%.

After the end of the period, an agreement was signed with Staffing 360 Solutions
Inc. for the acquisition of Poolia's UK business. Subject to the approval of an
employee consultation process, which is required under UK law, the business will
be transferred on 28 February 2014. Poolia has suffered losses in the UK market
for several years and as profitability for the business is still some distance
ahead, Poolia has made it a priority to develop its operations in the Swedish,
Finnish and German markets.

The process of streamlining Poolia's organisation is now completed, and all
energy can be channelled towards developing the profitable core business. I wish
the incoming CEO every success in this work.
