Basware reports income for products and services as follows: License sales, Professional Services, Customer Support, and Automation Services.
Customer Support includes the previous Maintenance and expanded customer support, which was previously reported under Professional Services. Expanded customer support agreements are continuous service agreements with a term of several years. Customer Support and Automation Services comprise the recurring revenue reported by the company.
License sales consist of the Purchase to Pay product family together with financial planning and reporting solutions sold only in Finland. Automation Services include e-Invoicing, scanning services, printing services, catalogue management, purchase message exchange, activation services and Software as a Service (SaaS) services.
Basware also reports the estimated revenue to be recognized for current Automation Services agreements that are in production in the next twelve months. Automation Services agreements typically expand several years or are valid until further notice.
As geographic information Basware reports geographical areas Finland, Scandinavia, rest of Europe, and Other. In the geographical information net sales are split by the customer's location. Net sales and operating profit are also reported by the location of the assets. In the annual financial statements, the geographical information of non-current assets is reported by the location of the assets.
The strong growth in Automation Services continued during the third quarter. The company's net sales grew and the company returned to profitability. The company's efficiency drive launched during the second quarter to improve profit-making ability has continued as targeted. At the same time the originally
targeted annual cost-savings of EUR 3 million compared to the June level has been revised to EUR 4 million by the end of 2013.
Automation Services net sales have increased according to our strategy, up 43.8 percent during the third quarter. The strong growth in the transaction volume continued during the quarter, up 69.5 percent. Basware Commerce Network has grown strongly and we have connected an increasing number of small and medium-sized suppliers and buyers in more than a hundred countries to the network with new products and delivery methods.
The demand for software licenses continued to be soft during the quarter, and license sales decreased by 18.3 percent. At the same time, SaaS net sales increased by 17.4 percent. The decrease in license sales affects the development of Professional Services.
According to customer feedback, the competitiveness of Basware software and services is good. We increasingly emphasize the growth in the sales of Basware Commerce Network and Alusta software and services in all of our operations. We have continued the development of Alusta software and services, focusing on finalizing the accounts payable functions. We expect the accounts payable functions to reach the level in the upcoming months which will enable us to start the projects to update the functionality to our existing customers. In the future, development activities will focus on developing purchasing and travel management. In the development of e-invoice services, the focus is on developing automated processes.
We have restructured our organization to ensure faster growth in transaction volumes and expand the service-based business according to our strategy. We aim to speed up the adoption of our services and products, accelerate the entry of SaaS and e-invoice deals into production through product and project enhancements as well as enhance our operational efficiency. Our aim is to strengthen the growth globally and maintain our product leadership in Purchase-to-Pay processes as well as improve our profitmaking ability.
The renewal of the company's product and service portfolio and transition of the business model will continue. The product and service offering has been strengthened through strategic partnerships. A partnership with MasterCard was announced in September, connecting MasterCard, one of the world's largest payment networks, to Basware Commerce Network to launch a revolutionary electronic payment solution. In September, we also announced collaboration with the supply management and spend analysis provider BravoSolution in source-to-pay (S2P) solutions.

Basware began collaboration with MasterCard in September. The partnership connects MasterCard's payment networks, one of the world's largest, to Basware Commerce Network. The collaboration facilitates a completely new kind of an electronic business-to-business payment method that ensures suppliers are paid fast upon invoice approval, while extending payment terms for buyers.
Basware and supply management and spend analysis provider BravoSolution started collaboration to create a comprehensive Source to Pay (S2P) solution.
Basware informed about the changes in its executive team on October 10, 2013. The company will restructure its organization in order to ensure faster growth in transaction volumes and expand its service-based business according to its strategy. The change aims to speed up the adoption of our services and products, enhance operational efficiency and improve the company's profit-making ability. The change concerns Automation Services, Professional Services, Customer Support, and other Group functions.
As part of the restructuring, the company's product development and product management will be centralized in one unit, headed by Ilari Nurmi, Senior Vice President, as a member of the Executive Team.
Jorma Kemppainen, Senior Vice President, has resigned from the company to pursue other opportunities in the end of the year.
Henrik Hasselbalch, Senior Vice President, has resigned from the company as of October 11, 2013 to pursue other opportunities.
As of October 10, 2013, members of the Basware Executive Team are Esa Tihilä, CEO; Mika Harjuaho, CFO; Kari Aarvala, Senior Vice President, Global Sales; Mari Heusala, Senior Vice President, HR & Development; Steve Muddiman, Senior Vice President, Global Marketing; Ilari Nurmi, Senior Vice President, Products & Services; Riku Roos; Senior Vice President, Network Services; and Matti Rusi, Senior Vice President, Solution Services.
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 at www.basware.com/investors.
The world economy and markets are unstable, which may result in a decrease in the demand for license sales and services. Furthermore, the conversion of license sales to SaaS solutions will reduce net sales growth over the short term.
Customers' decision-making has been slower this year than before. The negotiation times of large international deals in particular have been prolonged because the customers' requirements are higher in the service business than in the software business.
The next-generation Alusta software solutions aim to ensure Basware's product leadership in Purchaseto-Pay software and services as well as increase the number of new customers. Alusta has not yet contributed to the growth of the company's net sales as targeted.
Non-billable work related to go-live speed of Alusta and SaaS have effects on the profitability of Professional Services. The go-live speed of SaaS deliveries also affect growth in Automation Services, as new customers have entered production at a slower rate than targeted.
The bad debt risk associated with sales receivables is part of the risk related to business operations. Business management regularly monitors the payment of sales receivables as part of the management of customer accounts.
Goodwill was tested for impairment during the last quarter of 2012. According to the testing for asset impairment, goodwill has not been impaired. Even though operating profit of the acquired operations in Belgium for the current year is estimated to fall short of the original estimate, it is unlikeIy that a change in the key variables used in the test would create a situation where the accounting value of goodwill included in the balance sheet exceeded the recoverable amount of the unit.
Consolidation is expected to continue in the business environment, with the role of services growing in companies' portfolios. Basware continues the survey 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. The penetration rate of e-Invoicing is low, between 5–30 percent depending on the country, and it has been estimated to grow strongly in the upcoming years.
The acquisition of the e-invoicing business of the Belgian company Certipost was confirmed on January 2, 2013. The company estimated the operating profit of the acquired business after non-recurring expenses of approximately EUR 1.5 million recognized in the first quarter to be approximately EUR 0.5 million negative for 2013, while the earlier estimate was approximately EUR 1.6 million negative. According to the previous estimate for 2013, the operating profit was expected to be slightly positive. The operating profit includes group services charged to the parent company, such as expenses related to R&D, customer support, and administration.
The development of Alusta software and services will continue strongly also this year in order to maintain product leadership in Purchase-to-Pay processes. The emphasis of R&D expenses will shift gradually from Alusta product development towards the product development of Automation Services as of 2014.
The development of the net sales of Professional Services is supported by fixed-price delivery packages as well as consultation fees based on individual transactions in addition to hourly charged project work. In order to support license and SaaS business sales, we have made significant changes in the sales management and sales organization as well as further specified the sales models for new customer acquisition as well as customer account management methods.
The efficiency drive launched by the company in June to improve profit-making ability has proceeded as targeted. The originally targeted annual cost-savings of EUR 3 million compared to the June level has been revised to EUR 4 million by the end of 2013.
Basware expects its net sales for 2013 to grow and operating profit (EBIT) for 2013 to be positive.

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. As from the beginning of the financial period, the company has adopted certain new or amended IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations as described in the Financial Statements for 2012. However, the adoption of these new and amended norms have not yet had an effect on the reported figures in practice. In other respects, the same accounting policies have been followed as in the previous Financial Statements. Key indicator calculations remain unchanged and have been presented in the 2012 Financial Statements.
Preparation of financial statements in accordance with the IFRS standards requires Basware's management to make estimates and assumptions that have an effect on the amount of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet at the closing date as well as the amounts of income and expenses for the financial period. In addition, the management must exercise its judgment regarding the application of accounting policies. Since the estimates and assumptions are based on the views at the date of the Interim Report, they include risks and uncertainties. The actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions.
The amounts presented in the income statement and balance sheet are Group figures. The amounts presented in the release are rounded, so the sum of individual figures may differ from the sum reported. The Interim Report is unaudited.

The acquisition of Certipost's network and e-invoicing business by Basware was confirmed on January 2, 2013. In it, Basware acquired the network and e-Invoicing business of Certipost, the leading e-Invoice operator in the Benelux. The initial acquisition price of approximately EUR 18.2 million was paid in cash on the closing date. The final purchase price was confirmed during the second quarter of 2013 and was EUR 17.3 million based on the audited 2012 annual accounts.
In 2012, the net sales of the acquired business amounted to approximately EUR 7.9 million and operating profit approximately EUR 1.2 million negative. The acquired business operations' figures were consolidated into Basware's net sales and profit as of January 1, 2013. The allocated purchase price is approximately EUR 17.3 million. The acquired net assets amount to approximately EUR 2.4 million, including the cash reserves of EUR 2.2 million. Approximately EUR 4.5 million associated with customer relationships and acquired technology has been allocated to intangible assets. The value associated with customer relationships will be amortized over seven years, and value associated with technology in five years, starting from the first quarter of 2013. The purchase price includes approximately EUR 10.3 million of goodwill. Even though operating profit for the current year is estimated to fall short of the original estimate, it is unlikeIy that a change in the key variables used in the test would create a situation where the accounting value of goodwill included in the balance sheet exceeded the recoverable amount of the unit. The calculation concerning the allocation of the purchase price is preliminary.
