Quarterly Report
Open in ViewerOpens in native device viewer
Solteq Group's revenue is expected to grow significantly compared to financial year 2015. The operating result and the operating result before non-recurring items are expected to grow compared to financial year 2015 as well.
The expected growth of revenue and operating profit is mainly related to the M&A activity completed during the previous financial year and during the review period. In addition the cost synergies arising from the M&A activity are expected to be realized mainly during the year 2016.
Revenue and operating profit significantly better than in the comparison period – focusing on omnichannel and digital commerce bears fruit

Our result for the first quarter was positive. Compared to the previous year, we both grew and improved our profitability.
At the end of February, we divested subsidiary MainIoT Software Ltd that specialised in ERP software. As the focus in Solteq's new strategy is on digital commerce solutions and international operations, the deal gave us better possibilities to implement the strategy in terms of both the centralisation of operations and economic opportunities. Because of the transaction, we recognised non-recurring capital gains and reorganisation costs in the result of the first quarter. Focusing on digital commerce will improve the profitability of the Group's future operations, and now the company structure is extremely good for the further implementation of the strategy.
The Company's financial position is good. Due to the corporate acquisition and favourable business developments, the Company's equity ratio and financial position improved significantly and normalised during the first quarter. The situation allows us to consider the best alternatives for the strategy concerning investments and possible measures related to the balance sheet. The improved financial position will open new opportunities for faster implementation of the strategy.
All integration measures related to the acquisition of Descom Group were completed during the first quarter, and no significant non-recurring items were recognised related to them. I am extremely pleased with the contribution of our experts in the creation of the New Solteq. We have made good progress.
As to demand, the first quarter was clearly better and more active than during the last quarter of the previous year. Client demand in all strategic areas increased and we also managed to secure new projects in them. We expect demand to continue at a good level, and we will seek organic growth in all our strategic areas during the latter part of the year. We see that revenue erosion in older technologies has levelled out and that demand for new solutions is developing in a positive direction. At the moment, the main hindrance to our growth is the scarce availability of competent personnel in Finland and in Poland.
The progress of the strategy work has been excellent and we will publish the new strategy in more detail on 25 May 2016. The focus of the strategy is on both domestic
and international growth of business. The key elements are expanding the offering of digital solutions in all business operations, the solutions for retail chains and digital business in the Nordic Countries and the solutions for digital commerce globally. In Finland our growth will be mainly organic, but in the Nordic Countries and globally we aim to be active in corporate acquisitions because of the fast implementation of the strategy.
We will maintain the balance between the growth and payment of dividends to be the most attractive choice for our investors as a growing and internationalizing company of digital commerce.
In the heart of the strategy is the group of the best technology experts which has developed to the high level and will continually develop further. With this group we will implement the unique strategy on the field of digital commerce in Finland and globally.
We will maintain the earlier profit guidance concerning the net revenue and operating profit before non-recurring items for 2016, in spite of the divestment of MainIoT Softare Ltd.
Repe Harmanen CEO
Solteq is an expert in digital commerce. We offer comprehensive solutions for omnichannel commerce: backend processes extend all the way to the customer experience – from supply chain management to digital marketing. Solteq offers its clients know-how in the field of commerce, service and industry.
Solteq Group's business is divided into two segments: Customer Solutions and Digital Solutions. The segmentation, which is adopted in the beginning of the review period, reflects company's growth into digital commerce service provider.
Solteq's Digital Solutions Segment offers its clients the following:
During the review period the revenue of the Digital Solutions segment totalled 7.6 million euros (1.8 million euros) and the operating result was 0.8 million euros (0.0 million euros).
The huge growth and profitability in Digital Solutions Segment is mainly due to the Descom's acquisition made last accounting period. Substantial part of the Descom's business is now presented in the segment as well as the similar synergic businesses from Solteq. This new business area is presented in the Group's figures starting from Q3/2015. The business of the Digital Solutions Segment has developed as planned during the review period.
Solteq's Customer Solutions Segment offers its clients the following:
During the review period the revenue of the Customer Solutions segment totalled 7.8 million euros (7.4 million euros) and the operating result was 0.0 million euros (0.4 million euros).
The business of Customer Solutions Segment consists from the parts of original business areas of Solteq, synergic business areas of Descom and the business of MainIoT Software for the two months period. The impact on the operating result of the sold business for the review period is –0,2 million euros. In addition, the operating result of the segment is weakened by the delay in some ongoing projects revenue recognition.
In the end of February Solteq sold the entire share capital of MainIoT Software Ltd, its fully owned subsidiary, to IFS Group. Debt free purchase price of MainIoT Software Ltd was about 7.4 million euros. An additional purchase price of 0.6 million euros within next two years is conditional of fulfilment of certain objectives set for the acquired business by the purchaser.
In a stock exchange bulletin published on 1 March 2016, Solteq estimates that it will book a capital gain of approximately 3.2 million euros in the first quarter 2016 results.
The company's understanding of the capital gain to be booked in the review period has changed during preparation of the interim report. There are no changes in debt free purchase price or other terms and conditions of the share transaction. When the net working capital and the net debt on the agreed transfer date of the share capital 29 February 2016 are taken into account, it is estimated that the capital gain is 4.2 million euros. According to this estimation the amount of the capital gain is approximately 1.0 million euros higher than estimated previously. The capital gain of 4.2 million euros is presented in the financial result of the first quarter.
The agreed auditing and payment process of the purchase price is not completed between the buyer and the seller on the publishing date of the interim report.
Solteq has announced the strategic outlines of the new merged company in the interim report 1.1.–30.9.2015.
Preparing of strategy and strategy work has continued and will continue during the ongoing winter and spring and the guidelines announced in the stock exchange bulletins are carried out in the review period. The company will publish a separate stock exchange bulletin concerning the results of the strategy work in the spring 2016.

Investments in the reference period are mainly replacement investments.
Solteq's research and development costs consist mainly of personnel costs. When developing basic products, it is Solteq's strategy to cooperate with global actors such as IBM, SAP, Symphony EYC and Microsoft and utilize their resources and distribution channels. Own development efforts are focused on added value products and developing tailored service concepts.
During the review period product development costs were not amortized (none in the reference period, either).
