THIRD QUARTER 2009 The Infratek Group posted a posttax profit for the third quarter of NOK 9.8 million, compared with a profit of NOK 21.2 million in the previous year. This resulted in both diluted and undiluted earnings per share for the third quarter of NOK 0.2 (NOK 0.5). The acquisition of Fortum s Contracting Entities effective 15 January 2009 helped boost operating revenues in the quarter due to the fact that the Fortum s Contracting Entities being included in the consolidated figures for The activity level in the quarter, however, fell against the previous year as a result of a deterioration in the general economy and reduced investments within energyrelated infrastructure. The Group posted a thirdquarter operating profit of NOK 13.8 million (NOK 25.8 million). Adjusted for integration expenses, this corresponds to an operating profit/loss of NOK 18.2 million. The profit contribution is higher than in the previous quarter, adjusted for the sale of the SMBalarm portfolio, but lower than in the previous year. The performance of the Norwegian and Finnish infrastructure operations was up on the previous quarter. Activity levels in the quarter were reduced as a result of staff holidays, but strengthened project profitability contributes to improved Group profitability. Operationenhancing measures implemented within the Group's security business are bearing fruit. However, Infratek Sweden's performance has been significantly impacted by the implementation of integration measures, unsatisfactory operational control and reduced investment volumes among the company's customers. The integration process is proceeding according to plan and the Group s infrastructure business now employs a common ERP system. The migration to the new ERP system has proved more demanding than expected in Sweden. Measures are being implemented in connection with further training and the introduction of routines, while some INFRATEK ASA SHAREHOLDER REPORT THIRD QUARTER

3 staff functions are being reinforced. Integration expenses of NOK 4.4 million were incurred in the third quarter. These relate to migration to a new, common ERP system, and the establishment of internal payroll and accounting functions in the respective countries. Net financial income in the quarter amounted to NOK 0.1 million, compared with NOK 0.9 million in the third quarter of The decrease is attributable to reduced interest rate levels and exchange losses. The tax expense for the quarter was NOK 4.0 million. The third quarter 2009 report and consolidated accounts are based on preliminary, unaudited figures. (NOK 0.8 million). The change in working capital reduces cash flow from operations with NOK 112 million, while change in items without cash flow effect contributes positively with NOK 28.0 million. Replacement of ERP system has lead to working capital tie up, high investment level and weak performance within the Swedish operations. The net cash flow from investments in operations and expansion during the third quarter amounted to NOK 20.9 million (NOK 11.1 million). Investments in the third quarter include NOK 12.6 million in integration investments. The Group has a 12month, NOK 200 million revolving credit facility with the DnB NOR Group which expires in November The facility has not been used. The Group is in dialogue to enter an ongoing overdraft facility. BALANCE SHEET The Group s total assets rose from NOK 897 million as of 30 September 2008 to NOK 1354 million at the end of the period under review. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of the Fortum Contracting Entities. As of 30 September 2009 equity amounted to NOK 795 million. This corresponds to an equity ratio of 59 percent, which trails the figure of 62 percent at the start of the year. The reduction in the consolidated equity ratio is attributable to the consolidation of the balance sheet of the Fortum Contracting Entities. At the end of the third quarter equity was down by NOK 16.6 million on the back of currency effects and translation differences from SEK and EUR to NOK due to a weak NOK value at the time the Fortum Contracting Entities were acquired. At the end of the reporting period the equity per share figure was NOK 12.4, compared with NOK 13.5 at the end of the corresponding prioryear period. At the reporting date the Group s cash and cash equivalents totalled NOK 192 million, compared with NOK 217 million at the end of 2008, and NOK 169 million twelve months previously. The Group s interestbearing liabilities amounted to NOK 4.3 million (NOK 5.6 million). CASH FLOW AND FINANCING The net cash flow from operations in the third quarter of 2009 amounted to NOK 70.2 million SEGMENT INFORMATION Infratek reports three segments: Infrastructure West, Infrastructure East and Security. Segment reporting is based on products and services offered, and geographical presence. The Group operates in Norway, Sweden and Finland. INFRASTRUCTRE WEST The Infrastructure West business area comprises the Group s infrastructure activities in Norway and on the west coast of Sweden. Third quarter YTD NOK million Operating revenues Operating profit before depreciation Operating profit Operating margin 7.4% 11.1% 2.8% 7.8% In the third quarter Infrastructure West posted total operating revenues of NOK 330 million and an operating profit of NOK 24.4 million. The increase in operating revenues compared with the previous year is attributable to the acquisition of the Fortum Contracting Entities. Activity levels within infrastructure in Norway were up on the previous quarter but down on the previous year. The quarter was boosted by high seasonal activity levels, though INFRATEK ASA SHAREHOLDER REPORT THIRD QUARTER

4 performance was adversely affected by staff summer holidays. The profit margin contribution from Norwegian operations in the quarter was 8.5 percent. The district heating networks and fibre optic networks product areas reported higher activity levels compared with the previous year. Activity levels relating to the traditional electrical power market are regarded as satisfactory, but still lag behind those seen in the preceding two years. The percentage of sales of goods and services fell compared with the previous year due to customers increasingly purchasing and transporting power cables for projects themselves. The business acquired from Fortum in Norway was integrated with other infrastructure business during the quarter. This business primarily targets the distribution grid. Fortum's reduced investment volume means the product area will experience a degree of overcapacity. Lower construction activities and a corresponding reduction in associated new connections are also reducing order volumes. A number of measures, including temporary redundancies, are being assessed on an ongoing basis. Salesorientated work has been stepped up for both existing and new customers. Infratek wishes to participate in the increased investment volume notified for the central Norwegian grid. Increased reinvestment requirements have also been notified for the Norwegian distribution grid from The infrastructure business on the west coast of Sweden experienced satisfactory activity levels during the quarter. However, reduced profitability is depressing the operating margin in the Infrastructure West business area. The west coast of Sweden has been awarded two major framework agreements for Rabbalshede Kraft AB and Göteborg Energi AB respectively. The framework agreement with Göteborg Energi was awarded in October and provides Infratek Sweden with a new and strategically important foothold in a densely populated area that offers a number of new marketing opportunities. INFRASTRUCTURE EAST The Infrastructure East business area comprises the Group s infrastructure business in Sweden, other than along the west coast of the country, and the Group s infrastructure business in Finland. Third quarter YTD NOK million Operating revenues Operating profit (6.9) (4.0) before depreciation Operating profit (10.0) (12.7) Operating margin 4.0% 1.8% Infrastructure East generated total operating revenues for the quarter of NOK 252 million and posted an operating loss of NOK 10.0 million, where depreciation, amortisation and impairments in the customer portfolio amounted to NOK 1.1 million. The business area comprises business acquired from Fortum and was not part of the Group in After a weak start to the year order volumes have gradually risen. However, the quarter was strongly impacted by staff holidays and the replacement of the ERP system, which together distracted the focus from ongoing operations. Active measures are being taken to boost expertise concerning the new ERP system in order to be able to leverage economies of scale and secure effective operational control. The finance function is also being strengthened. Weak performance, including unsatisfactory activity levels in relation to cost levels, and the replacement of the ERP system, has resulted in significantly reduced liquidity levels within Swedish operations. In October the head of Infrastructure East decided to step down and changes are also being made to management within the finance function of the Swedish operations. There are hence some degree of uncertainty related to the reported figures for the Swedish operations. The focus on commercial and salesorientated work is also being ramped up with the aim of broadening and strengthening the order book. Region East (Stockholm) is reporting better profitability than other regions thanks to a broader customer and product portfolio and more efficient operations. Cost and efficiency levels within the Swedish business will be reviewed and a number of measures will be implemented. The infrastructure business in Finland reported satisfactory activity levels during the quarter posting a positive profit margin of just under 10 per cent. Several major projects are due to be INFRATEK ASA SHAREHOLDER REPORT THIRD QUARTER

5 completed in the autumn Consequently, activity levels are expected to be down towards the end of the year. The market situation in Finland is proving challenging and the business area has a weak order book going into Two smaller offices are being closed down, while permanent and temporary redundancies are being made in order to align operations with the lower order levels. During the quarter Fingrid awarded the Finnish business a EUR 8 million contract to design and construct a major substation on the west coast of Finland. The station is due to be completed in autumn SECURITY The Security business area comprises the Group s activities within security technology and electrical safety services. Third quarter YTD NOK million Operating revenues Profit from sale of alarm portfolio Operating profit before depreciation Operating profit Operating profit excl. sale of alarm portfolio Operating margin 14.2% 0.1 % 16.7% 4.4 % Security posted total operating revenues of NOK 67 million and an operating profit of NOK 9.5 million in the third quarter. Security reported sales on a par with the previous year, even following the sale of the SMB alarm portfolio at the end of the second quarter. The profit contribution rose significantly, while the operating margin for the quarter came in at 14.2 percent. The high security and oil & gas product areas experienced high activity levels, posting solid margins. Results from the electronic antitheft systems business are improving. Though weak profit contribution in the third quarter the product is expected to contribute positively going forward. The spinoff of the sold guard services business and SMB alarm portfolio to Vakt Service AS has been completed, and the announced downsizing of functions relating to the SMB alarm portfolio has been implemented. The majority of the costs associated with the spinoff and downsizing were recognised in the second quarter. Active measures are being taken to increase new sales and acquire new customers. The agreement between Infratek Finland and Fingrid also includes supplies from the Security business area of camera systems to monitor processes for connecting and disconnecting the voltage for the various parts of the substation. Infratek increased sales to existing customers during the period under review. The company successfully tendered to supply new security passes to Statoil in connection with the company's change of name, as well as to supply several extensions of security systems at production plants. During the quarter the Electrical Safety product area turned in a solid performance posting sound profit contributions that were on a par with the previous quarters. During the quarter new electrical safety contracts were put on tender. On the ground of price, Infratek was unsuccessful in renewing existing contract with Fortum Nett from OTHER The Other business area comprises Group administration and expenses relating to Grouplevel functions. Expenses associated with the integration of the Fortum Contracting Entities are also allocated to the Other business area in order to secure an accurate as possible picture of the profitability of ongoing operations. Third quarter YTD NOK million Operating profit (10.1) (2.3) (35.7) (8.8) Of which integration costs (4.4) (17.9) Group expenses of NOK 10.1 million were incurred in the quarter, compared with NOK 2.3 million in the previous year. Group expenses totalling NOK 10.1 million include integration expenses of NOK 4.4 million relating to the implementation of a common ERP system and internal accounting and payroll units. The increase in Group expenses against last year is also explained by a lack of sublet of parts of the new head office at Breivollveien 31. INFRATEK ASA SHAREHOLDER REPORT THIRD QUARTER

6 EVENTS Resignation of the Group Executive Vice President for Infrastructure East Christer Sundin, who managed the Infrastructure East business area, resigned from his position as Group Executive Vice President at Infratek with effect from the end of October Lars Bangen, head of the Infrastructure West business area, will act as head of the Infrastructure East business area until a permanent replacement has been recruited and employed. Infratek to dispute possible recourse claims from Hafslund On 15 June 2009 the Securing Arrangement of the Transfer Agreement ( Sikringsordningen ) (Sikringsordningen secures pensions rights gained by employees employed by employers which are being liquidated or where premiums are not paid) instigated legal proceedings against the Hafslund Group based on previous insurance agreements entered into between discontinued utility companies and Kommunal Landspensjonskasse (KLP), a Norwegian insurance company. The claim is related to the responsibility for adjustment and increase of pension rights in accordance to the change in base amount as well as gross guarantees. Hafslund has rejected the claim. According to Hafslund, a minor share of the total claim is related to employees who are or were employed by Infratek with subsidiaries. Infratek and Hafslund have agreed that Infratek will not be involved as a party in the legal proceedings initiated by Sikringsordningen. Hafslund has at the same time reserved its rights to file a recourse claim against Infratek for those parts of the claims that pertains to active employees within the Infratek Group. Infratek has rejected the claim. No direct claims have been made against Infratek. Infratek has not deemed it necessary to recognise any provisions relating to this matter in the company's financial statements.

7 OUTLOOK Acquisition of the Fortum Contracting Entities has reinforced the Group s strategic position. Temporary weakened market activity, establishment of a common ERP system together with mutual governance model and integration costs is characterizing the profit for There are some larger degree of uncertainty related to the reported figures for the Swedish operations due to change of ERP system, the newly establishment of internal accounting and payroll function and change of management. Measures are implemented to meet changes in market conditions, including shifting the business focus toward product segments that are expected to offer satisfactory demand. The underlying, longterm development of the Group is regarded solid. The Group s activity levels and profitability are expected to strengthen through the fourth quarter of Infratek s growth strategy remains unchanged; however, integration and profitable operations will be prioritized. Infratek s Nordicmarket position and solid financial position featuring a strong balance sheet, make the Group market wise well positioned.

The calculated profit has been reduced by selling costs of NOK 1.7 million. 7) COMMENTS ABOUT THE SEASONALITY AND CYCLICALITY OF THE INTERIM OPERATIONS The operations of Infratek have a seasonal nature. All segments however have historically shown a trend towards improved revenue and profitability level throughout the year, with the second half of the year operating revenues and operating profit wise outperforming the first half of the year. The seasonality is among others driven by colder weather and high voltage level hampering the activity level and resulting in higher operational costs at the start of the year. The customers have historically used the start of the year to plan their investment activities for the year. 8) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS As of 30 September 2009, Hafslund ASA owned 43.3 percent of Infratek ASA shares, and as such is regarded as a closely related party.
