Revenue 25.6 21.1 + 21%

Jos Blejie, CEO of ICT Group N.V.: “We have started the year 2017 in line with expectations across all our business segments, resulting in revenue and profitability growth in the first quarter compared with the first quarter of 2016. During the first three months we focused on the completion of the integration of Nozhup to be able to immediately reap the benefits of this acquisition. We continue to be committed to the execution of the company strategy, in which gaining market share and investments in new technologies and business solutions are key. Given the current positive economic circumstances we reiterate that we expect a further growth in both revenue and profitability for the full year 2017 versus 2016.”

Financial developments
Revenue in the first quarter of 2017 increased to € 25.6 million compared to € 21.1 million in the first
quarter of 2016. Organically, excluding Nozhup and 1 month BMA (consolidated as from February
2016), revenue grew 7%. Due to the acquisition of Nozhup the segment ICT Netherlands increased
substantially.
Overall the markets ICT operates in continued their positive development this first quarter of 2017. In
Q1 2017 ICT made further progress in the execution of its strategy with the completion of the
integration of Nozhup into the ICT Netherlands organisation. All ICT subsidiaries recorded positive
results. EBITDA came in at € 2.8 million in the first quarter, compared with € 2.2 million in the same period of 2016.

Strategic themes
ICT has made clear choices in terms of growth. ICT focuses on the themes Smarter Industries, Smarter Cities and Smarter Health. Within these themes ICT delivers the highest added value to its customers. As Nozhup’s activities are focussed on Smarter Industries and Smarter Cities, in these areas more growth was realised this first quarter of 2017 than in Smarter Health.
Revenue split per theme (in € millions) Q1 2017 Q1 2016 ?
Smarter Industries 15.4 13.2 + 17%
Smarter Cities 6.1 4.4 + 39%
Smarter Health 2.5 2.3 + 9%
Other 1.5 1.3 + 15%
Total revenue 25.6 21.1 + 21%

ICT Group completes integration of Nozhup
In September 2016 ICT Group acquired Nozhup, thereby gaining significant scale in the Industrial automation market. Nozhup is consolidated for the full quarter in the segment ICT Netherlands. As part of the integration process of Nozhup into ICT a legal merger took effect at the end of March 2017.

Outlook
ICT’s management reiterates the outlook given at the annual results announcement in March.
ICT will continue to focus on the further leveraging of the strategic platform it has successfully built over the past years, aimed at organic growth combined with acquisitions. The goal of the acquisition strategy is to achieve strong positions in each of ICT’s three main themes. Overall, the markets in which ICT is active are developing positively from a demand perspective, although some markets do remain challenging. ICT expects its capital expenditures and research & development expenditures for 2017 to grow in line with the increased scale of the company. The tight labour market remains a potential bottleneck, and attracting and retaining the right people continues to be one of our key priorities.
Based on the above, ICT expects further growth in revenue and EBITDA in 2017 compared to 2016.
