Continued progress in 3rd quarter 2007

With Group revenue for the first nine months of the year of 10.1 bnDKK (+27%),operating income (EBIT) of 770 mDKK (+42%), and net income before tax of 683mDKK (+35%), there has been very satisfactory development compared with thesame period in 2006. This development is in harmony with the plans made for theyear by NKT's companies, and there is a basis for an upward revision ofexpected Group net income before tax to around 925-950 mDKK. Group revenue for the 3rd quarter was 3,356 mDKK (+24% compared with last year)and operating income (EBIT) was 248 mDKK (+23% compared with last year). AnEBITDA margin of 9.9% was realised in 3rd quarter 2007, as against 9.4% in thesame period last year. Net income before tax comprised 215 mDKK, as against 193mDKK last year, an increase of 11%. The Group's overall organic growth developed satisfactorily and amounted to 9%in the 3rd quarter. This progress was due to continued high organic growth atNKT Cables (13%), while growth at Nilfisk-Advance (5%) was influenced by SAPimplementation, which delayed product shipments in late September and therebyreduced September revenue. After adjustment for this effect - which has beenneutralised in October and November - 3rd quarter organic growth atNilfisk-Advance was 7%. In addition, NKT Photonics Group again had a positivequarter with organic growth of 61%, and the 51%-owned NKT Flexibles had astrong third quarter with organic growth of 30%.
