CFO, Member of the Management Board
In the third quarter of the financial year 2017/2018, the Group's unaudited consolidated net turnover was 2.92 million euros, which is down 23%, or 860 thousand euros less compared with the third quarter of the financial year 2016/2017, and 18% less than in the second quarter of the financial year. Analyzing a longer period of time, the third quarter is usually the lowest result for the Group due to the winter period on most of the target market.
The turnover of North/Latin Americas was 59% or 1.7 million euros. Compared with the same quarter last financial year, the region's turnover decreased by 24%, due to the fact that already started custom-tailored solutions were finalized, but new ones have not reached the implementation phase during this quarter in the region.
The turnover in the European and CIS region was 33% or 948 thousand euros, which is equivalent to the average regional turnover and almost the same as in the previous financial year. However, it is 34% less than in the second quarter of the year, when the successful result was due to the development of a specific custom-tailored data transmission solution.
In the AMEA (Asia, Middle East, Africa) region, the turnover was 8% or 0.2 million euros. Compared with the same quarter of the previous financial year, the region's turnover decreased by 42%. Likewise, this region's great result in the third quarter of the previous financial year was related to the implementation of a bigger individual project.
In January-March period of the financial year, SAF Tehnika participated in several important exhibitions in different regions. In North America: IWCE (USA); WISP America (USA); CanWISP (Canada). In Europe: Telecom Infra (the Netherlands); Horticontact Go (the Netherlands).
In cooperation with customers, a number of SAF product use case studies were developed: about using SAF equipment at the polar research station in Antarctica, at a fire station in the U.S., as well as about the capacity to withstand huge temperature fluctuations in Arizona, USA. The company also continued to actively publish content on SAF blog, industry sources, Google AdWords, as well as in the company's social media accounts.

During the reporting quarter, the Group sold its products in 45 countries.
The Group's unaudited consolidated turnover for the 9-month period of the financial year 2017/2018 was 10.4 million euros, which is 13% less compared to the revenues in the same period last financial year. Fluctuations in turnover depend on the growing percentage of projects.
During the period of 9 months, sales in North/Latin Americas made 57% of the total Group's turnover, or 5.91 million euros, which is a 7% drop against the results of 9 months in the previous financial year. 34% of the total turnover was made by profits in the European and CIS region, having decreased by 18%, or 766 thousand euros, compared with a year earlier. The successful result a year earlier was due to the development of a specific custom-tailored data transmission solution. Revenues from the AMEA (Asia, Middle East, Africa) region decreased by 25%, or 312 thousand euros, thus making 9% of the Group's total 9-month turnover.
Comparative charts of sales volumes (within 9 months) by regions:

The Group's costs did not exceed the planned levels but were generally higher than during the same period a year ago due to investments in sales promotion in existing and new markets, especially in development of new products that are expected to enter the market in the coming financial year.
The Group closed Q3 of the financial year 2017/2018 in loss of 352 thousand euros (unaudited). The USD/EUR exchange rate continues to negatively affect the Group`s net results.
The unaudited consolidated result for 9 months of the financial year 2017/2018 is the loss of 221 thousand euros (of which 324 thousand euros is the effect of the USD/EUR exchange rate). In the previous financial year (2016/2017), the Group's result for 9 months was the profit of 1.1 million euros.
The Group had a negative cash flow during the 9-month period of the financial year, equaling to (-) 2.6 million euros. In December 2017, dividends were paid in the amount of 0.67 euros (sixty seven cents) per share, or 1.990 million euros in total.
As of the end of the financial year, the Group's net cash balance was 3.9 million euros.
In the third quarter of the financial year 2017/2018, 190 thousand euros were invested in acquisition of fixed assets.
The microwave radio market has not experienced any rapid changes during the last quarter, and, in our opinion, is not expected to any time soon, however, competition is growing, especially as regards standard equipment.
There is still an increase in demand for radio systems that provide enhanced data transmission rate and can be enhanced and updated in order to improve data usage.
SAF Tehnika is the company with the long-term competence in development and production of microwave radios.
The Group continues to explore market requirements and problematic issues in order to be able to provide necessary product modifications. The Group is financially stable.
The goal of the Company is to stabilize sales levels to ensure a positive net result in the long term. The Board of SAF Tehnika maintains caution and cannot provide a sales and performance forecast.
On 31 March 2018, the Group numbered 194 employees (there were 192 employees on 31 March, 2017).
