Interim Report, January - June 2013
2013-07-26
"eWork achieved a major milestone in the quarter when we secured our second really large-scale MSP (managed service provider) deal, on this occasion with TetraPak. Thus we demonstrated once again that we’re the strongest provider on the market, with a functional MSP concept for the whole Nordic region. Meanwhile, this deal is a breakthrough in the technology consultant segment."
Claes Ruthberg, President and CEO
SECOND QUARTER 2013 COMPARED WITH 2012

• Profit after tax per share was SEK 0.55 (0.71), the same amount before and after dilution.
• The market remained hesitant, which negatively affected the number of ongoing consultant appointments.
• However, interest in consolidating and MSP (managed service provider) business was high.
• An MSP deal was signed with Tetra Pak, expected to amount to over 10 percent of the Group’s net sales.
• This agreement with TetraPak mainly relates to technology consultants, which marks a breakthrough for eWork in this segment.
