From the CEO – "Continued weak but stable market"
Poolia reported an operating profit/loss of SEK -5.4 (SEK 0.3) million for the
second quarter of 2013. Revenue for the quarter was SEK 204.7 (258.1) million, a
decline of 19.7% in local currency.

Financially, the second quarter was a disappointment, primarily driven by
seasonality with fewer working days than other quarters, as well as a high
proportion of unoccupied time in certain units. Permanent placement revenues
were also generally lower than normal, reflecting less change activity than
usual in the business sector. The general market outlook remains relatively
weak, with low demand in all markets. Poolia's CEO Monika Elling resigned during
the quarter and one-off costs associated with the resignation reduced earnings
by SEK 3.7 million. Poolia's restructuring process will continue until the
Company is able to show satisfactory results.

Poolia Sweden reported an operating profit/loss of SEK -5.4 (1.4) million for
the second quarter of 2013. Revenue was SEK 157.5 (205.3) million, a decline of
23%. Demand for temporary staffing services is stable but at a low level. The
outplacement business, which is run by Utvecklingshuset, had an adverse effect
on operating profit during the quarter.

Poolia Germany's revenue for the quarter grew by 29% in local currency, which
means that Poolia continues to gain market shares. Although operating profit is
developing in a positive direction, it is still lower than expected, due to
weaker growth in permanent placement revenue than expected. Earnings continue to
be burdened by the costs of building up the office structure.

At Poolia UK, the process of building up the business, mainly in Finance &
Accounting, is continuing. While the core business shows positive signs and the
organisation has a high level of activity, earnings are suffering from high
overhead costs; a situation which will continue for some time.

Poolia Finland's revenue is stable and has outperformed the market. Operating
profit is slightly lower than the previous year, primarily due to lower
permanent placement revenue.

In spite of the grave situation I look to the future with confidence. Poolia has
committed and talented employees who continue to deliver qualified temporary
staffing and permanent placement services to satisfied customers.
