STÉPAN BREEDVELD, CEO ORDINA, ON THE RESULTS
"We have restored confidence in Ordina. I am proud to report that we managed to
get our results back in the black in 2012, despite the challenging market
conditions. While revenue was down, our net profit and EBITDA margin improved
considerably, plus we managed to book a positive cash flow, which in turn
reduced our net debt. This has translated into a growing workforce in the fourth
quarter, significantly higher employee engagement, the contracting of new
clients and an increase in the number of contracts from existing clients. We
succeeded in realising this turnaround by investing in our regional approach and
in innovation and by closely monitoring our cost base. We celebrate our
successes and actively involve our staff in the course we have chosen to take.
We took the first step in 2012, but we still have a road ahead of us to greater
profitability and growth."

OUTLOOK
The economic outlook and developments in Ordina's markets remain uncertain. This
is true in the Netherlands, and in Belgium / Luxembourg. This makes it difficult
to predict revenue development and therefore future profit. We will therefore
refrain from giving a forecast for the coming period.
