Financially, 2013 was fairly good for us – despite the challenging market situation. Our growth slowed down but we managed to maintain our market position and profitability thanks to our long-term client relationships, which are important for our success.
In 2013, we concentrated on the development of our core business operations and on strengthening our client relationships. We continued our efforts to make our cost control and structure more flexible. At the same time, we expanded and honed our solution selection to make it increasingly client oriented. One example is the upgraded business-to-consumer ebusiness solution that we were able to offer to our clients.
We also succeeded in deepening several of our long-term client relationships. Our new software solutions played a key role in the development of our client cooperation. The significant increase in client satisfaction in 2013 reflects the long-term strategic client relations work that Solteq has carried on for several years. We also started cooperation with several new clients and strengthened the collaboration with our key clients.
We developed in several important areas in 2013, and I am extremely pleased with the situation. Our client value proposition is to ensure continuity and enable the future at the right time and cost. The trust of our clients in us continued to increase. We have several clients with which we implement large projects and consider long-term strategic development. The improved client satisfaction is a good proof of this development: up to nine out of ten of our clients now recommend us; in 2013, the score was seven out of ten. This is an excellent proof of the efforts taken by each Solteq employee to enhance client orientation – the promise of the client value proposition has to be delivered every day. Client Always First.
Our employee satisfaction also continued the growth that had taken place for several years. Up to two thirds of Solteq's employees would recommend us as an employer. This score is higher than the average of Finnish expert organizations.
In my opinion, these results reflect our strong software solution and industry expertise as well as low personnel turnover. For us, the client always comes first, and our work is characterized by openness, nimbleness of operations and easy approachability.
It is important for us to be an employer that takes our employees' life situations into consideration and offers possibilities to develop individual competences. The low turnover of our personnel allows a systematic development of expertise.
In 2013, we continued the implementation of the strategy program started in 2011. In the program, we focus on long-span development of our solutions, client orientation and HR development. The work has proceeded in an excellent way. In short, I could say that many of the successes achieved in 2013 are the result of our systematic and persistent work of several years. It is not a coincident that both the client and employee satisfaction have improved, or that we are a reliable partner in comprehensive retail, logistics and service solutions.
An excellent example in practice is the Microsoft Dynamics AX business. We made serious investments in this business in 2011, and during 2013 it developed into profitable business that created competitive advantage for us. Several successful client projects speak for themselves.
The foundation pillar of our strategy is ensuring continuity – for our clients' business operations, for Solteq's development, for our personnel, and for our stakeholders and interest groups. A good example of ensuring continuity for our clients is the growth of the popularity of the "Bridge" Solutions in 2013. The solutions offer transfer paths from old systems to new ones. During the course of 2013, we were able to report on several "Bridge" contracts in e.g. the Enterprise Asset & Service Business Management Segment.
The changes in the retail sector have been accelerated by shifts in consumer behavior and by multichannel retailing. In view of the continuity of the business operations, expansion to e-business is a key question for many retailers. The gap between the consumers and the retailers which avoid engaging in e-business grows all the time, and dropping out of competition may be extremely fast. The drastic changes in retail trade also impact the wholesale sector. E-business makes it possible to reach the end customer globally through traditional distribution channels or without them.
We see the changes in the future and in retail trade primarily as an opportunity for our clients and for Solteq. The changing operating environment and consumer behavior create opportunities but turning them to profitable business requires customer oriented solutions. We want to cooperate with our clients and help them succeed in turning the threats brought by changes into opportunities by providing them with appropriate software solutions.
In fall 2013, we started to make plans for the strategy period which will start in 2015. We will continue, with increased determination, developing our strengths and competitive advantages as well as new solutions that serve the needs of our clients, probing for new business opportunities, and focusing on our clients. It is important for us to make sustainable decisions which ensure the continuity of both Solteq's and our clients' business operations.
In 2013, we paid increasing attention to international activities. Our operations mainly take place in Finland, although our solutions are used in more than 20 countries. Our business operations have become international through the international operations of our clients, and this is the direction we intend to proceed in. In future, we will pay more attention to how we are able to respond more effectively to the tightening international competition in software solutions.
I would like to extend my thanks to our clients, personnel and partners, as well as owners and other stakeholders for the open and strengthening cooperation in 2013. It is great to have you with us turning changes into opportunities.

The partial realisation of financial risks in a single major project in the Wholesale, Logistics and Services Segment was the most significant individual factor that influenced the decrease in turnover and operating profit. According to Solteq's view the company has fully provided for these risks. Corrective measures were made in this area during the year to minimize the impacts on business operations.
On 22 March 2012, Solteq Plc and Aldata Solution Plc completed a transaction in which Solteq Plc acquired Aldata Solution Finland Ltd, the daughter company under 100% ownership of Aldata Solution Plc.

KPMG Oy Ab, Authorized Public Accountants, was re-elected as Solteq's auditors. Lotta Nurminen, APA, acted as the chief auditor.
No events requiring reporting have taken place after the review period.
The key uncertainties and risks in short term are related to the timing and pricing of business deals that are the basis for revenue, changes in the level of costs and the company's ability to manage extensive contract agreements and deliveries.
The key business risks and uncertainties of the company are monitored constantly as a part of the board of directors' and management team's duties. The company has not organized a separate internal audit organization or committee.
Both revenue and operating result are expected to grow compared to financial year 2013.
At the end of the financial period 2013, the distributable equity of the Group's parent company is 9 483 308,16 euros.
The Solteq Plc Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend of EUR 0.03 per share will be paid for each share. In view of the current number of the shares, this would mean the distribution of approx. 450 thousand euros to the shareholders.
In addition to this is proposed that the Board be authorised, on the basis of Chapter 13, Section 6, Sub-section 2 of the Finnish Companies Act, to decide on the distribution of a dividend amounting to a maximum of 0,05 EUR per share or of other assets from the distributable equity reserve, as well as decide on the timing and other details concerning the possible distribution. In view of the current number of the shares, this would mean the distribution of approx. 750 thousand euros to the shareholders (In the Annual General Meeting 2013 the Board got an authorisation for a dividend, or other assets from the distributable equity reserve amounting to a maximum of EUR 0.04. The Board decided, based on this authorisation, on 18.11.2013 on a dividend payment of EUR 0.02).
No essential changes have taken place in the company's financial situation after the end of the financial period. The liquidity of the company is good, and in the Board's estimation the
proposed distribution of dividend or other assets will not endanger the company's financial standing.
