Decreased Sales and Result for LGP Second Quarter 2003


SOLNA, Sweden, June 19, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- LGP Telecom Holding estimates that net sales for the second quarter 2003 will be MSEK 500-525. Operating income excluding items affecting comparability is estimated to be a loss of MSEK 50-60 MSEK.

Restructuring costs due to the merger with Allgon will, as previously informed, amount to MSEK 60-65, of which approximately MSEK 20 will affect the second quarter 2003.

The decreased sales reflect the low demand, so far during the year, of infrastructure products for mobile nets.

The interim report for the second quarter will be published July 11, 2003.
