Additional information regarding the Key Performance Indicators is available at www.elisa.com/investors Elisa Operational Data.xls.
Despite keen competition, Elisa's competitiveness and the demand for our services strengthened during the second quarter of 2012. Elisa's earnings and revenue grew in accordance with expectations. The increase in revenue was boosted by sales of terminals, mobile voice and data services as well as new services.
The total number of mobile subscriptions grew by 93,000 during the second quarter. Fixed broadband subscriptions increased by 3,000 supported by new services and service bundles. Moreover, the demand for mobile data services continued to grow strongly, with dongles and smartphones having established their popularity among consumers and business users.
Elisa's consumer services developed favourably during the period. The Elisa Viihde entertainment service continued to grow in popularity. For example, Elisa Viihde tablet and smartphone applications have been downloaded more than 120,000 times. Applications can be used for purposes such as recording favourite programs. The Elisa Kirja e-book service, a forerunner for new reading services, was included in city library selections. The libraries of Helsinki and Oulu lend out the service on tablets for reading new Finnish detective novels. The service was also expanded to cover more than 100 out-of-print detective novels.
Elisa introduced several new services for corporate customers during the second quarter. Secure identification enables health center clients to use online services. For example, they can send nurses questions that will be recorded in an electronic health record system. Identification is easy by means of mobile certificates. To support corporate IT solutions, Elisa introduced the Elisa eSali cloud service, which enables companies to acquire additional server capacity based on their specific needs. A new technology developed by Elisa makes it possible for companies to combine their own data centers with virtual ones.
Elisa continued to invest in networks, and 4G speeds were expanded to cover 160 locations during the second quarter. 4G services have been well received by customers. Elisa constantly invests in deepening its customer understanding and customer service. Elisa expanded its consumer customer service by enhancing the use of social media channels. For corporate customers Elisa introduced a new type of online IT support service provided via videoconferencing and chat.
We will continue our determined work to develop the productivity of our operations and customer satisfaction. Elisa creates services that improve productivity and user experiences. Combined with our strong investment ability, this creates a solid foundation for competitive operations in the future."

The Interim report has been prepared in accordance with the IFRS recognition and measurement principles, although all requirements of the IAS 34 standard have not been followed. The information presented in this interim report is unaudited.
The competitive environment has been intense but stable in Finland. The mobile subscription base and the use of data services continued to evolve favourably. The mobile smartphone market is growing rapidly. With a broader assortment now available, over 80 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 decreased at the same pace as in the previous quarters.
The market for new visual communications (video conference) services continues to develop favourably. The demand for new consumer on-line services is also growing.

The decrease in usage and subscriptions of traditional fixed telecom services in both segments affected revenue negatively, as did the decrease in mobile termination rates.

On 4 April 2012, Elisa's Annual General Meeting decided to pay a dividend of EUR 1.30 per share based on the 2011 financial statements. The dividend was paid to shareholders on 18 April 2012.
The Annual General Meeting adopted the financial statements for 2011. The members of the Board of Directors and the CEO were discharged from liability for 2011.
The number of the members of the Board of Directors was confirmed at six. Ari Lehtoranta, Raimo Lind, Leena Niemistö and Eira Palin-Lehtinen, were re-elected as members of the Board of Directors and Mika Salmi and Mika Vehviläinen as new members of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors elected Raimo Lind as the Chairman of the Board and Ari Lehtoranta as the Deputy Chairman. Raimo Lind (Chairman), Ari Lehtoranta and Mika Salmi were appointed to the Nomination and Compensation Committee. Eira Palin-Lehtinen (Chairman), Leena Niemistö and Mika Vehviläinen were appointed to the Audit Committee.
The Annual General Meeting decided to establish a Shareholders' Nomination Board to prepare proposals for the election and remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors to Annual General Meetings.
KPMG Oy Ab, authorised public accountants, was appointed the company's auditor. APA Esa Kailiala is the responsible auditor.
The Annual General Meeting decided on the authorisation 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 2013
There were no material legal or regulatory issues in second quarter 2012.
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, accidental and financial 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 in Elisa's fixed network has decreased during the last years. These factors may limit the opportunities for growth.
The company's core operations are covered by insurance against damage and interruptions caused by accidents and disasters. Accident risks also include litigations and claims.
In order to manage interest rate risk, the Group's loans and investments are diversified in fixedand variable-rate instruments. Interest rate swaps can be used to manage 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 to investment targets with a good credit rating. 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 2011.
There were no major events after the financial period.
The budget deficits and solvency issues in several European countries and banks have impacted the Finnish economy to some extent. The macroeconomic outlook for Finland is weaker than the outcome in 2011. Competition in the Finnish telecommunications market also remains challenging.
Full year revenue is estimated to be at the same level as in the previous year. The use of mobile communications, especially mobile broadband services and equipment sales, is continuing to rise. In addition, Elisa continues to invest in ICT and new online services, which are expected to boost revenue. Full year EBITDA, excluding non-recurring items, is anticipated to be at the same level, and EBIT is expected to improve on last year given the lower level of depreciation. Full-year capital expenditure is expected to be maximum 12 per cent of revenue.
In addition to its strong position as a network service provider, Elisa is transforming itself to be able to provide customers with exciting and relevant new services. Among the factors contributing to long-term growth and profitability improvement is mobile data market growth, as well as new online and ICT services. Elisa continues determinedly to employ its efficiency measures. Elisa's financial position and liquidity are good.
