TELESTE CORPORATION INTERIM REPORT 1 JAN TO 30 SEP 2014

SUCCESSFUL THIRD QUARTER, FULL-YEAR OUTLOOK IMPROVED

Third quarter of 2014

  • Orders received totalled EUR 49.0 (51.1) million, a decrease of 4.1%

  • Net sales amounted to EUR 50.4 (46.5) million, an increase of 8.4%

  • Operating profit totalled EUR 4.9 (3.2) million, an increase of 55.0%

  • Undiluted earnings were EUR 0.20 (0.12) per share, an increase of 72.8%

  • Cash flow from operations was EUR 0.0 (3.0) million

New guidance for the 2014 outlook

We estimate that net sales for 2014 will reach 2013 level, while our operating profit is likely to fall from the 2013 level.

Previous guidance for the 2014 outlook

We estimate that net sales and operating profit for the year 2014 will not reach the 2013 level.

Comments on the third quarter of 2014 by President and CEO Jukka Rinnevaara:

"Network investments by the European cable operators picked up following a quiet early year and we achieved very good results in the third quarter. Operating profit for the third quarter was one of the best in Teleste's history. In our estimation we have been able to strengthen our position in the cable network market, and the frame agreement signed in August with the Altice Group provides a good example of this.

Demand for Video and Broadband Solutions remained at a good level. Operators are planning to upgrade their networks utilizing the new Docsis 3.1 telecommunications standard. Teleste's new Docsis 3.1 products have proven to be competitive, and we can bring them at the forefront of the market. Our good ability to deliver enabled us to achieve excellent profitability in almost all product areas. We grew strongly particularly in the sales of HFC access network equipment. Our net sales increased most in the French, German and the UK markets. We have managed to respond to the price competition by continued streamlining of our supply chain.

Demand for Network Services remained stable. Profitability has developed positively in Germany, and we achieved a good result in the Finnish, Belgian and Swiss services businesses. Operating profit was weakened, however, by investments aimed at expanding our business in the UK, where the offered new services did not yet reach a positive result in the third quarter."

At the end of the reporting period the share of those working abroad was 72% (72%/2013, 73%/2012). 3% of the Group's employees worked outside of Europe.

Personnel expenses increased by 3.3% from the comparison period and totalled EUR 43.1 (41.7 1- 9/2013, 43.8 1-9/2012) million. This increase in personnel costs was affected by growth in personnel in the UK and cost reduction measures in Finland in 2013.

The ability to deliver of our Finnish production was improved, among others, by using temporary workforce, particularly in the third quarter. At the end of the period the number of temporary labour in the Finnish production was 25 people.

Financing and Capital Structure in January-September 2014

Operating cash flow stood at EUR 1.8 (7.3) million. This decrease in cash flows from operating activities was primarily due to engagement of working capital to trade receivables.

Current committed revolving credit facilities of EUR 40.0 million are in place until August 2015.

Essential Operational Risks of Business Areas

Founded in 1954, Teleste is a technology and services company consisting of two business areas – Video and Broadband Solutions and Network Services.

With Europe as the main market area, our clients include European cable operators and specified organizations in the public sector.

As to Video and Broadband Solutions, client-specific and integrated deliveries of solutions create favourable conditions for growth, even if the involved resource allocation and technical implementation pose a challenge involving, therefore, also reasonable risks. Our customers' network investments vary based on the relevant need for upgrading and their financial structure. Significant part of Teleste's competition comes from the USA so the exchange rate of euro up against the US dollar affects our competitiveness. The exchange rate development of the Chinese renminbi to euro affects our material costs.

The company hedges against short-term currency exposure by means of forward contracts. The situation in the European financial markets may slow down our customers' investment plans. Furthermore, a weakening in the consumer purchasing power in Europe could slow down the network investments by the cable operators. Competition increased by the new service providers (OTT) may undermine the cable operators' ability to invest. Availability of components is subject to natural phenomena, such as floods and earthquakes. Severe weather conditions have an impact on the business areas' ability to deliver products and services. Correct technological choices and their timing are vital for our success.

Net sales of Network Services comes, for the most part, from a small number of large European customers, so a significant change in the demand for our services by any one of them is reflected in the actual deliveries and profitability. To ensure quality of services and cost-efficiency along with efficient service process management, customer satisfaction and improvements in productivity require innovative solutions in terms of processes, products and logistics. Smooth operation of cable networks requires effective technical management and functional hardware solutions in accordance with contractual

obligations. This, in turn, demands continuous and determined development of skills and competences in Teleste's own personnel as well as those of our subcontractors. In addition, Teleste's ability to deliver and compete may be constrained by the adequacy of our sub-contractor network capacity. Tender calculation and management of larger projects with overall responsibility are complex and include risks.

It is important for our business areas to take into account any market developments such as consolidations taking place among the clientele and competition. The threats to information systems must be minimized to ensure business continuity. The Board of Directors annually reviews any essential risks related to the company operation and their management. Risk management is an integral part of the strategic and operational activities of the business areas. Risks are reported to the Board on a regular basis.

The company has covered any major risks of loss involving the business areas through insurance policies. Insurance will also cover credit loss risks related to sales receivables. In the period under review, no such legal proceedings or judicial procedures were pending that would have had any essential significance for the Group operation.

Group Structure

Parent company Teleste has branch offices in Australia, the Netherlands, and Denmark with subsidiaries in 14 countries outside Finland.

Ms. Marjo Miettinen, Mr. Pertti Ervi, Ms. Jannica Fagerholm, Mr. Esa Harju, Mr. Kai Telanne and Mr. Petteri Walldén continue in Teleste's Board of Directors. Ms. Marjo Miettinen was elected Chair of the Board in the organizational meeting held immediately after the AGM.

Events after the end of period

Teleste announced on 28 October 2014 having signed a three-year agreement with SNCF (French National Railway Company) concerning the high-level maintenance of its video surveillance system. The value of this agreement was over two million euros.

Outlook for 2014

Video and Broadband Solutions aim at maintaining a strong market position in Europe and expand into selected new markets. Network capacity will continue to increase driven by the new broadband and video services provided by the operators. New products in line with communication standard Docsis 3.1 will enable network operators to activate their investments. Price erosion in the market continues. The positive trend in the video surveillance market will continue, but the public sector decisions to start projects may be delayed in the current economic climate.

The business objective of Network Services is to develop the operational efficiency and increase their services business requiring higher level of competence. We estimate the demand for comprehensive network services in our key target markets to continue at par with the comparative year.

New guidance for the 2014 outlook

We estimate that net sales for 2014 will reach 2013 level, while our operating profit is likely to fall from the 2013 level.

Previous guidance for the 2014 outlook

We estimate that net sales and operating profit for the year 2014 will not reach the 2013 level.
