Question: AndrT Thormann - ABG Sundal Collier Holding ASA, Research Division - Analyst
: In terms of the employees in Denmark, as you also touched upon, how much of a lower growth should we expect to see in Denmark due to this?
And going forward in the year, I mean, is 11% what we should expect to see? Or should it definitely be higher in Denmark also?
Question: AndrT Thormann - ABG Sundal Collier Holding ASA, Research Division - Analyst
: Okay. Very clear. In terms of revenue from maintenance, will we continue to see a low growth on this when compared to new clients? Or what
should we expect from this?
Question: AndrT Thormann - ABG Sundal Collier Holding ASA, Research Division - Analyst
: Just a -- just one clarifying question from me. In terms of the margin in U.K, did I hear correctly that we should expect this increasing already in '19?
Question: AndrT Thormann - ABG Sundal Collier Holding ASA, Research Division - Analyst
: Okay. And then another one, in terms of administrative cost, I heard you mention something about it, but did -- is this the level we should expect
to see going forward also into 2019? Or is it extraordinarily high?
Question: AndrT Thormann - ABG Sundal Collier Holding ASA, Research Division - Analyst
: Okay. And then on the long term and that's not for -- that's in '19? Or is that in 2020 or whatever?
Question: Yiwei Zhou - SEB, Research Division - Analyst
: I have two. Firstly, on the U.K. and Norway growth, now you delivered 30% organic growth in both regions. And remember you guide 20% to 25%
organic growth in all regions. Is it fair to assume in the following quarters, we should expect to see a slightly slow down? Or it's just better than
your expectation?
Then secondly, you mentioned the U.K. margin will continue to improve during 2019. Could you give us a sense of how -- what's -- how much is
upside and so what level should expect in Q4?
Question: Yiwei Zhou - SEB, Research Division - Analyst
: And I just want to follow up the second question, and so what is main driver for the improvement in U.K. margin? Is -- how much is from the reduce
of external freelancers or contractors? Or is it from the type of contract?
