Management Report

For Q4 of the FY 2015/2016, the Group's unaudited consolidated net turnover was EUR 3.67 million, which is by 14%, or EUR 0.44 million, more than in Q4 of the FY 2014/2015, and by 22% more than in Q3 this year.

The major part of the turnover (57% or EUR 2.1 million) was made by sales in North/Latin Americas and was related to the development of data transmission solutions and products tailored to specific customer needs. This region's result is by 36% greater than in Q4 last year and exceeds the result in Q3 by 56%.

The European and CIS region gave 34% of the turnover in Q4. The region's turnover decreased by 11% as compared to the same quarter of the previous FY, but was by 2% higher than in Q3. The above fluctuations are due to implementation of individual projects.

In the AMEA (Asia, Middle East, Africa) region, revenues of Q4 have remained at the average level of the previous year, amounting to 9% from the total turnover. That is by 9% more than in Q4 last year, however, there is a 23% drop as compared to Q3 results.

In the closing quarter of the FY 2015/2016, SAF Tehnika participated in a number of international exhibitions, including NABShow – the world's largest event in the "broadcasting" sector that took place in Las Vegas, USA. The company participated for the first time in the International Microwave Symposium (IMS) that took place in Phoenix, USA, and involved professionals in microwave radio transmission. Furthermore, SAF Tehnika took part in the UTC event (the "utilities" sector) in Denver, USA. Moreover, at the end of May, SAF Tehnika in cooperation with a German partner FMS took part in the Angacom trade show for telecom industry professionals, which was held in Cologne, Germany. Microwave Journal features a publication on the newest, world's only pocket-sized e-band microwave spectrum analyzer – Spectrum Compact. The device is designed for adjusting the microwave data transmission equipment, detecting problems, and monitoring the frequency range from 70GHz to 87GHz.

One of the most important events was the announcement of the next generation of Integra products. Integra is the next generation platform for transmitting microwave data, the latest version of which includes a number of vital improvements, one of which being a 100% increase in the number of modulations from 1024 to 2048 QAM.

Comparative charts of Q4 revenue breakdown by regions:

The Group's products were sold in 49 countries during the reporting quarter.

The Group's unaudited consolidated turnover for the financial year 2015/2016 was EUR 13.7 million, which is a 7% increase compared to revenues of the previous financial year. Revenues from the European and CIS region decreased by 4% or EUR 217 thousand. At the same time, revenues from the AMEA (Asia, Middle East, Africa) region show considerable increase (29% increase as compared to 12 months of the FY 2014/2015) amounting up to EUR 1.77 million, thus making 13% from the Group's total turnover. Despite the drop in Q3, North/South Americas continued to grow (during a period of 12 months) and generated 52% from the total turnover of the Group, which is EUR 7.1 million, and demonstrate a 10% increase as compared to the previous financial year.

The Group's costs did not exceeded the planned levels but in total were bigger than during the same period a year ago due to investments into current and new markets for sales promotion, changes in compensation and savings premiums on the results of the work. In addition to the successful outcome of Q4, there was also a positive effect from the profitable EUR/USD exchange rate.

The Group finished the closing quarter of the FY 2015/2016 with profits of EUR 573 thousand (unaudited), which is by 226 thousand more than in Q4 of the previous financial year.

The unaudited consolidated result for the FY 2015/2016 is the profit of EUR 925 thousand, which is by 353 thousand less comparing to the Group's result of the previous financial year (the profit of EUR 1.28 million).

The Group had a positive net cash flow during 12 months of the FY, equaling to EUR 1.59 million. As of the end of the reporting period, the Group's net cash balance was EUR 5.9 million.

This financial year, SAF Tehnika received EU funds co-financing of EUR 0.46 million for product development and marketing support, as well as invested EUR 435 thousand in fixed assets.

Market overview

Speaking from the perspective of SAF Tehnika, the microwave radio market has not experienced any rapid changes recently.

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. Such requirements increasingly set the trend for introducing new products, including both SAF Tehnika and the market in general.

The Group continues to explore market requirements and problematic issues in order to be able to provide necessary product modifications.

Guidance

SAF Tehnika is the company with the long-term competence in development and production of microwave radios. SAF Tehnika will proceed with its work on new high-quality products for the microwave data transmission market, providing not only standardized solutions, but also product modifications in order to meet customers' special needs, as well as searching innovative ideas for applying microwave data transmission. 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 cautious optimism but cannot provide certain prognosis for sales figures and operational results.

On 30 June 2016, the Group numbered 185 employees (there were 172 employees on 30 June 2015).
