STÉPAN BREEDVELD, ORDINA CEO, ON THE RESULTS
In the first half of the year, we saw revenue and result decline in line with
the shrinking market. We responded quickly with a substantial cost-savings
programme of around EUR 8 million annually. Our focus on returns means all
divisions made a positive contribution to the result.

We are also making progress in terms of our management agenda. Revenue in
healthcare is showing clear growth, partly on the back of our innovative

solution Quli and our dedicated ERP solution for hospitals. Our revenue in the
industry market has also shown growth since the second quarter. Our decision to
boost our sales efforts in this market is now paying off.

We are very proud of the improvement in employee engagement. The increase over
the past two years has been spectacular. We believe in the direction we have
chosen: 'Innovating sustainably together'. Having skilled and engaged employees
is one of the key conditions for creating true added value.

OUTLOOK
The economic outlook in the Benelux region remains uncertain. This makes it
difficult to predict revenue developments and consequently profit. We will
therefore refrain from giving an outlook for the upcoming period.
