Reporting

Basware Corporation reports one operating segment: Purchase to Pay, P2P. The segment is divided into the Network Services and Solution Services businesses that support each other.

As of 2014, the company reports revenue from products and services as follows: Network Services (e-Invoicing solutions and services) and Solution Services (software products and services). In addition to this, the company reports revenue from its products and services according to the breakdown of the previous reporting practice: License sales, Professional Services, Customer Support, and Automation Services.

In accordance with the previous practice, Customer Support and Automation Services together form the recurring revenue reported by the company.

Network services revenue is comprised of e-Invoicing, paper invoice scanning services, printing service, catalog exchange, purchase message exchange, activation services, and alliance fees of e-invoicing services and financing-related added value services. Solution Services revenue is comprised of software revenue (SaaS revenue and license sales), software maintenance and extended customer support services (customer support), Professional Services, and start-up fees of SaaS services.

As geographic information Basware reports geographical areas Finland, Scandinavia, rest of Europe, and Other. Net sales are reported by the customer's location, and net sales and operating result are also reported by the location of the assets. In addition, the geographical information of non-current assets is reported by the location of the assets in the annual financial statements.

CEO Esa Tihilä:

The company's operating result has gradually improved. The growth of the Network Services business supports reaching our overall objective. Net sales for the second quarter amounted to EUR 31 833 thousand, and operating result was EUR 1 152 thousand. Comparable operating result improved by EUR 1 310 thousand from the corresponding period the previous year. The share of recurring revenue of net sales continued to increase as planned, accounting for 66.5 percent. International net sales grew by 2.5 percent and accounted for 60.4 percent (59.0%) of total net sales.

The net sales of the Network Services business amounted to EUR 8 066 thousand for the second quarter, growth of 12.7 percent compared to the corresponding period the previous year. The strong growth in the transaction volume accelerated, up 29.0 percent from the corresponding period the previous year. A total of 18.7 million transactions were processed via Basware Commerce Network, up 8.5 percent from the previous quarter when 17.2 million transactions was reported. Start-up fees related to connecting customers did not grow, which had an impact on the total growth of Network Services net sales. Several significant major customers started the use of e-invoicing services. The most significant new announced e-invoicing services and Alusta delivery agreement was signed with a leading global oil and gas company.

Solution Services net sales amounted to EUR 23 768 during the second quarter, down 3.5 percent. Alusta sales have developed promisingly during the second quarter compared to the beginning of the year, but revenue recognition of new SaaS deals has not yet had an effect on the accumulation of net sales, and the demand for professional services is lower in SaaS deliveries than license deliveries. The chargeable utilization rate of Professional Services continued to be somewhat lower than expected. In all, we have signed more than 100 deals on solutions powered by Alusta, and there were more new Alusta deployments during the quarter than ever before. The Solution Services business is expected to develop more favorably during the rest of the year. The amount of new agreements has increased and the order backlog is at a good level which we expect to enable improved growth for net sales during rest of the year.

Partly as a result of strict spend control our profit-making ability improved and the fixed costs decreased by 6.7 percent during the second quarter. We will continue to improve the profit-making ability in the Solution Services business during the second half of the year by ensuring the effective use of resources in Professional Services and improving the billing rate in relation to demand. We will continue investments in the Network Services business to achieve accelerated growth by primarily developing automated solutions for sending and receiving e-invoices.

According to the most recent industry surveys, e-invoicing has become more commonplace and the volume of e-invoices has grown significantly in Europe and globally. The adoption of e-invoicing is expected to increase even more rapidly as the benefits of e-invoicing are realized more widely,

especially with the support of regulatory standards and a supportive infrastructure. The global market penetration of e-invoicing is estimated to be approximately 10 percent. The growing e-invoicing market and companies' interest in other payment and value added services for financing will offer Basware excellent growth opportunities in coming years.

OTHER EVENTS OF THE PERIOD

Significant agreement with an international oil and gas company in the U.S.

On July 2, 2014, Basware announced that it had signed a significant e-invoicing services agreement for the delivery of e-invoicing and supplier services, powered by Basware's purchase-to-pay platform Alusta, to one of the world's leading oil and gas companies in the U.S. The customer will use Basware's services in its operations globally. The value of the agreement is approximately EUR 2.8 million over the next five years.

SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS

Short-term risks are considered to be risks in the current reporting year. Additional information on risks and risk management is available on the company's investor site: www.basware.com/investors.

The world economy and markets are unstable, which has resulted in a decrease in the demand for license sales and services. The negotiation times of large international deals in particular are long because of the nature of service level agreements in the deals.

The bad debt provision related to sales receivables on the company's balance sheet has increased compared to the corresponding period the previous year, due to an increase in the amount of overdue customer payments. However, there are no significant credit loss concentrations associated with the sales receivables; they are primarily comprised of a large number of relatively small receivables.

The development of Solution Services net sales is influenced by the utilization rate of consulting being lower than planned, non-chargeable work, and delays in the entry of new SaaS services into production compared to the plans.

As part of HR processes, the company continuously assesses the competence and well-being of the personnel. The company aims to avoid recruitment errors and excessive turnover of personnel, which may lead to a decrease in customer satisfaction, growth, and profitability.

STRATEGY

Basware updated its strategy in accordance with its strategy process at the end of 2013. The key strategic objectives remain unchanged: an annual volume of 150 million transactions processed by the end of 2015, annual growth of 15–30 percent in net sales, share of recurring revenue 70 percent of net sales and operating profit margin of 15–20 percent at the end of the strategy period.

Basware's organizational structure supports the implementation of the strategy. The key aim of the Network Services business is strong growth in net sales, while the Solution Services business aims at strong profitability and moderate growth. Strengthening Basware's position in the key markets and customer loyalty are objectives shared throughout the company.

The strategy focuses on accelerated global growth both organically and through acquisitions. The strategic focus areas for 2014 include strengthening Basware's position in the international key markets, maximizing the transaction volume, global market leadership in Purchase-to-Pay (P2P) solutions, and customer loyalty.

Basware will continue to revise its sales and marketing model with the aim of strengthening its position in the key markets. Direct sales and marketing measures will be increasingly segmented according to carefully selected segments and companies. Investments in obtaining channel partners and business support will continue.

The Network Services business focuses on measures to maximize transaction volumes, which include acquiring new virtual operator partners, intensifying and automating supplier activation, developing product and transaction services, and offering added value services related to financing, among others.

The Solution Services business will continue the development of Alusta software products and streamlining the associated delivery, production, and support processes. The ease of use and operating logic of Alusta products have met a favorable market reception.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

Operating environment and market outlook

Companies of all sizes globally are under pressure to improve their cash flows, find new innovative payment strategies and automate their financial processes and functions. The company expects the

Consolidation is expected to continue in the business environment, with the role of services growing in companies' portfolios. Basware continues active analysis of acquisition targets especially in the e-Invoicing market in Europe and in the U.S. according to its strategy.

By the end of 2015, Basware aims to become the largest business commerce network for buyers and suppliers. According to the most recent industry surveys, e-invoicing has become more commonplace and the volume of e-invoices has grown considerably in Europe and the rest of the world. The global market penetration of e-invoices is estimated to be approximately 10 percent. The growing e-invoicing market and companies' interest in other payment and value added services for financing will offer Basware excellent growth opportunities in coming years.

Outlook 2014

The global market growth of e-invoicing has been estimated to be approximately 20 percent. Basware is pursuing accelerated growth that exceeds the market growth in its Network Services. Stronger growth can be achieved by developing and automating the connection of buyers and suppliers to the e-invoicing services, by utilizing digital marketing and sales channels more extensively, and through acquisitions.

The Network Services business is expected to grow strongly also during the second half of the year. The Solution Services business is expected to develop more favorably during the rest of the year. The growth in the sales of Alusta is expected to have a positive effect on software net sales and professional services.

The fixed costs of the company are expected to stay at the same level than during the first half of 2014. The company will continue to improve the profit-making ability in the Solution Services business during the second half of the year by ensuring the effective use of resources in Professional Services and improving the billing rate in relation to demand. The company will continue to invest in the Network Services business to achieve accelerated growth by primarily developing automated solutions for sending and receiving e-invoices. Decisions about investments required by the growth will be made during the year if the market situation and business development so require.

Basware expects its net sales and operating profit (EBIT) for 2014 to grow compared to 2013.
