CEO Veli-Matti Mattila:

"Elisa's revenue and earnings grew from last year

The uncertainty in the general economic situation continued to be reflected in the behaviour of companies and consumers. In the challenging operating environment in this quarter, Elisa's performance has been strong. Elisa's earnings and revenue increased during the quarter compared to last year. Demand for new services and the growth of smartphone markets continued to be strong. Smartphones made up 86 per cent of overall sales.

Our mobile subscription base grew by over 21,000 during the first quarter of the year. About one third of new sales are 4G mobile broadband subscriptions, and the number is growing steadily. The number of fixed-network broadband subscriptions decreased by about 1,800. The use of mobile data services grew alongside that of smartphones due to demand for USB modems and routers among both consumers and business clients.

Elisa introduced Pilvilinna, a cloud service aimed at consumers for storing photographs, videos and other files. The service stores the files in Finland and it supports all common operating systems. Contactless payment is increasing among consumers as new payment locations are taken into use. Some major retail chains already accept contactless payment, and there are currently around 3,000 contactless payment locations. The Elisa Wallet service allows hasslefree payment at these locations.

Elisa has cooperated with public administration in projects to improve the productivity of the sector. Together with the City of Turku, we discovered potential savings of tens of millions of euros by reforming service provision models and operating methods. The key findings were related to remote transactions, customer service and efficiency in the use of facilities. A concrete measure implemented in cooperation with the Social Insurance Institution of Finland was a remote use pilot project where customers were provided with interpreters through a video link directly in their homes.

At the beginning of the year, we became the first operator in Finland to open 4G LTE 800 MHz frequencies to customers. The introduction of these new frequencies means increasingly comprehensive coverage for fast 4G mobile data services as well as improved inside coverage. Today, 4G coverage is available to 89 per cent of people living in Finland. With this development our service clearly exceeds the best international universal service obligation level.

We will continue our determined work to improve customer satisfaction and the productivity of our operations. Improving our productivity, developing new services for our customers and maintaining our strong investment ability create a solid foundation for competitive operations in the future."

INTERIM REPORT JANUARY-MARCH 2014

The Interim report has been prepared in accordance with the IFRS recognition and measurement principles, although not all requirements of the IAS 34 standard have been followed. The information presented in this interim report is unaudited.

Market situation

The competitive environment was intense in the first quarter of the year. However, it was slightly easier than during the exceptionally hard first quarter 2013. The mobile subscription base and the use of data services continued to evolve favourably. The mobile smartphone market is growing rapidly. Approximately 86 per cent of the mobile handsets sold are smartphones. This further increases the use of mobile data services. Another factor contributing to the mobile market growth has been the increased coverage of new 4G speeds. The number and usage of traditional fixed network subscriptions is decreasing.

The markets for new visual communications (e.g. videoconferencing), IT outsourcing and IPTV entertainment services have continued to develop favourably. The demand for other new consumer online services is also growing.

2) Rolling 12-months profit preceding the reporting date

Revenue increased by 6 per cent on the previous year. The PPO acquisition, Corporate Customers' ICT services, such as IT outsourcing and video conferencing, and Consumer Customers' online services like the Elisa Viihde IPTV service, as well as mobile services affected revenue positively.

EBITDA increased by 16 per cent on the previous year mainly due to PPO acquisition and productivity improvements.

Financial income and expenses increased to EUR −8 million (−6) mainly due to higher net debt. Financial expenses include a EUR 1 million write down of BCC Finland Oy divestment. Income taxes in the income statement amounted to EUR −13 million (−13). Elisa's earnings after taxes were EUR 51 million (40). The Group's earnings per share amounted to EUR 0.32 (0.26).

Revenue increased by 5 per cent. The PPO acquisition and growth in ICT services affected revenue positively. The decline in usage and subscriptions in traditional fixed telecom services and lower unit prices and usage in roaming decreased revenue.

EBITDA increased by 9 per cent mainly due to the PPO acquisition and productivity improvements.

Personnel

In January–March, the average number of personnel at Elisa was 4,181 (4,080). Employee expenses totalled EUR 65 million (64). Personnel by segment at the end of the period:

31.3.2014 31.3.2013 End 2013

Corporate Customers 1,759 1,651 1,793
Total 4,124 4,165 4,217

The decrease in the number of personnel was attributable mainly to outsourcings and personnel reductions. The PPO acquisition in 2013 and growth in the corporate ICT service increased the number of personnel.

Significant legal and regulatory issues

At the request of the Consumer Ombudsman, the Market Court prohibited Elisa from charging a separate fee of EUR 1.90 or more for mobile subscription paper invoices. The decision includes a conditional fine. The Market Court did not impose a prohibition on charging a separate fee for paper invoices in general. Elisa has applied to the Supreme Court for leave to appeal against the decision.

Regarding publishing of subscribers' contact information, Visual Data Oy has claimed damages from Elisa and several other telecommunication companies under Competition Act. The claim is joint and several liabilities and totaled EUR 3.5 million including interest and legal costs. The process started in 2004 and is now continuing in a district court.

Substantial risks and uncertainties associated with Elisa's operations

Risk management is part of Elisa's internal control system. It aims to ensure that risks affecting the company's business are identified, influenced and monitored. The company classifies risks into strategic, operational, hazard and financial risks.

Strategic and operational risks:

The telecommunications industry is under intense competition in Elisa's main market areas, which may have an impact on Elisa's business. The telecommunications industry is subject to heavy regulation. Elisa and its businesses are monitored and regulated by several public authorities. This regulation also affects the price level of some products and services offered by Elisa. Regulation may also require investments which have long pay-back times.

The rapid developments in telecommunications technology may have a significant impact on Elisa's business.

Elisa's main market is Finland, where the number of mobile phones per inhabitant is among the highest in the world, and growth in subscriptions is thus limited. Furthermore, the volume of phone traffic on Elisa's fixed network has decreased during the last few years. These factors may limit opportunities for growth.

Hazard risks:

The company's core operations are covered by insurance against damage and interruptions caused by accidents and disasters. Accident risks also include litigation and claims.

Financial risks:

In order to manage the interest rate risk, the Group's loans and investments are diversified in fixed- and variable-rate instruments. Interest rate swaps can be used to manage the interest rate risk.

As most of Elisa's operations and cash flow are denominated in euros, the exchange rate risk is minor.

The objective of liquidity risk management is to ensure the Group's financing in all circumstances. Elisa has cash reserves, committed credit facilities and a sustainable cash flow to cover its foreseeable financing needs.

Liquid assets are invested within confirmed limits in financially solid banks, domestic companies and institutions. Credit risk concentrations in accounts receivable are minor as the customer base is wide.

A detailed description of the financial risk management can be found in Note 34 of the Annual Report 2013.

Events after the financial period

On 15 April 2014, Elisa paid a dividend of EUR 1.30 per share, total of EUR 207 million, according to the decision of the AGM.

On 8 April 2014, Elisa divested BCC Finland Oy to Atea Finland Oy. BCC is an IT hardware, software and service solutions provider, which was part of the PPO group.

Elisa's Annual General Meeting 2014

On 2 April 2014, Elisa's Annual General Meeting decided to pay a dividend of EUR 1.30 per share based on the adopted financial statements 2013. The dividend was paid on 15 April 2014.

The Annual General Meeting adopted the financial statements for 2013. The members of the Board of Directors and the CEO were discharged from liability for 2013.

The number of the members of the Board of Directors was confirmed at seven (7). Raimo Lind, Leena Niemistö, Eira Palin-Lehtinen, Jaakko Uotila and Mika Vehviläinen were re-elected as members of the Board of Directors and Petteri Koponen and Seija Turunen as new members of the Board of Directors.

KPMG Oy Ab, authorised public accountants, was appointed the company's auditor. APA Esa Kailiala is the responsible auditor.

The Board of Directors' authorisations

The Annual General Meeting decided to authorize the Board of Directors to resolve to repurchase or accept as pledge the company's own shares. The repurchase may be directed. The amount of shares under this authorization is 5 million shares at maximum. The authorization is effective until 30 June 2015.

The Annual General Meeting decided to authorize the Board of Directors to pass a resolution concerning the share issue, the right of assignment of treasury shares and/or the granting of special rights entitling to shares. A maximum aggregate of 15 million of the company's shares can be issued under the authorization. The authorization is effective until 30 June 2016.

Outlook and guidance for 2014

The macroeconomic environment in Finland is still expected to be weak in 2014. Competition in the Finnish telecommunications market also remains challenging.

Full year revenue is estimated to be at the same level or slightly higher than in 2013. Mobile data, ICT and new online services as well as completed acquisitions are expected to increase revenue. Full-year EBITDA, excluding non-recurring items, is anticipated to be at the same level as in 2013 or slightly higher. Full-year capital expenditure is expected to be a maximum of 12 per cent of revenue. Elisa's financial position and liquidity are good.

Elisa is continuing its cost efficiency measures, for example by streamlining product portfolio and IT systems and operations. Additionally, Elisa is continuing to increase customer service and sales efficiency, as well as to reduce general administration costs.

Elisa's transformation into a provider of exciting, new and relevant services for its customers is continuing. Long-term growth and profitability improvement will derive from mobile data market growth, as well as new online and ICT services.
