Management Report

The Group's non-audited net sales for the third quarter of financial year 2012/13 were 2.57 million LVL (3.66 million EUR), increasing by 20% compared to the third quarter of the previous financial year. Meanwhile the sales remained on the same level only posting a slight 4% decrease when compared to the previous reporting quarter of the current financial year (Q2 FY 2012/13). The Group reached the financial results by continuing to supply existing projects as well as attracting new business in the strategic markets.

The European, CIS region retained stable sales levels and posted a 8% growth comparing to Q2 FY 2012/13 at the same time growing significantly (20%) against the respective reporting quarter of the previous financial year. The Group provided customized, both Lumina and Marathon product line solutions to several customers, thus further assuring its focus and ability to provide individual approach and exceptional customer support for clients in the region. Similar as in the respective period of the previous financial year, the region amounted to a stable 38% share from the total Groups' revenue.

Due to lower activity in existing projects and political instability in markets where Group is present the revenue from Asia, Middle East and Africa region decreased by 31% or 0.2 million LVL (0.29 million EUR) from the previous reporting quarter of the current financial year, meanwhile also showing a 38% year-to-year sales drop. Consequently the region generated only 18% from the total turnover of the reporting quarter, opposed to 34% in the respective reporting quarter of the previous year. The Group's established office in Lagos, Nigeria actively works with opportunities in West and Central Africa to regain the previously enjoyed region's revenue levels.

The Americas region which already previously proved to be a strategic region continued to grow both for CFIP Lumina product sales as well as further expanding FreeMile product line posting a combined growth of 36% or 0.3 million LVL (0.43 million EUR) compared to the previous reporting quarter of the current financial year. Consequently the region retained a 42% turnover share from the total group's turnover of the reporting quarter. Notwithstanding the fierce price competition experienced in the region, the active sales and product marketing efforts are proving to produce positive results over long-term as the group's year-to-year sales also grew by 45%.

Chart 1. Quarter 3 revenue breakdown comparative charts:

By establishing an agreement with new strategic partner, the Group resumed deliveries to the previously announced regional broadcasting project in Brazil. New timeframe for project completion has been agreed while the project scope remained the same.

The co-founded joint-venture company "SAF Services LLC", made partial progress towards some of the opportunities it has been working on, by finalizing some of the managed service works it has been entrusted. The company is fully devoted to continuing providing professional consultations and managed services to the customers in the region.

During reporting quarter SAF Tehnika participated in several exhibitions both to present the Group as well as its product, solutions and services offering. The Group made extensive efforts in US market by participating in "Animal Farm 7" (Salt Lake City, UT), "2013 Rural Telecom Industry Meeting & EXPO (NTCA)" (Lake Buena Vista, Florida) and "Wireless without limits cruise 2013" (New Orleans, LA).

Chart 2. 9 months revenue breakdown comparative charts:

The Group's 2012/13 financial year's 9 month unaudited net turnover was 7.18 million LVL (10.21 million EUR), which represents 96% of the revenue generated in the respective period of the previous financial year. The revenues generated from Europe, CIS and Asia, Africa and Middle East regions reduced by 5% and 25% respectively, while the Americas region grew by 14% comprising 43% of the total Group's turnover. Meanwhile the sales revenue from Asia, Africa and Middle East region summed up to 23% and European and CIS regions respectively 34% from the total revenue. The rather even split of revenues among the different regions has been the keystone for minimizing business and financial risks while maintaining steady revenue stream.

The main CFIP product line accounted for 80% from total sales of the reporting quarter. CFIP Lumina proved to remain the flagship product, with total shipped quantity doubling from the same respective quarter of the previous financial year. Meanwhile Freemile product line continued to grow by a year-to-year rate of 56%.

Market overview

The high growth of Wi-Fi and mobile data traffic usage continues to drive the previous trend of surge in communication network infrastructure and accessibility developments worldwide. Although some industry reports show that the global market shipments of point-topoint microwave transmission equipment slightly declined, microwave equipment in the current market development scenario is considered to be the most effective solution by providing high quality and fast data transmission. While the application types of microwave transmission equipment is constantly evolving, the equipment still requires technological advancement to address all service providers requirements. Consequently in order to succeed, manufacturers have to constantly not only develop both existing and new products, but also improve product delivery flexibility and maintain the price competitiveness with the market.

Guidance

The Group has always focused on responding to customer and market requirements. Following an extensive R&D activity the Group prepares to launch the first products from a new generation product line supporting extended functionality that addresses many requirements of the existing and potential Group's customers. Throughout the remaining year Group is determined to complete the whole product line.

The Group will continue to focus on strategic niche markets offering current and new products, customized solutions for specific clients as well as launching promotions for the new product line. Additionally the Group will continue developing it's managed services offering.

The Group remains financially stable and with positive outlook for the next operating periods. Meanwhile due to market competition pressures and dependencies on customer and market activities, the Board of the Group avoids giving any forward-looking sales and financial result statements.

On March 31, 2013 the Group employed 163 people (163 people on March 31, 2012).

Note 10 Segment information

a) The Group's operations are divided into two major structural units – SAF branded equipment designed and produced in-house – CFM (Hybrid/ PDH Radios), CFIP (Etherent/Hybrid/ superPDH systems) and FreeMile (Hybrid Radios for unlicensed frequency bands) as the first structural unit and 3 rd party products for resale, like Antennas, cables, some OEMed products and accessories as the second unit.

CFIP – the major product line is represented by 4 respectable models:

  • a split mount PhoeniX hybrid radio system with Gigabit Ethernet + 20 E1 interfaces;

  • Lumina high capacity Full Outdoor all-in-one radio with Gigabit Ethernet traffic interface;

  • CFIP-108 entry level radio - perfect for upgrade of E1 networks into packet data networks;

  • Marathon FIDU low frequency low capacity system for servicing rural and industrial applications.

All CFIP radios are offered in most widely used frequency bands from 1.4 to 38 GHz, thus enabling the use of CFIP radios all across the globe.

PhoeniX radio represents the type of microwave radio which is taking the commanding role on the market at present. Full Outdoor units of Lumina and 108 modifications are of growing and developing radio type 'all-in-one' which has biggest potential as part of future data/packet networks.

SAF Tehnika was one of the first companies offering Full Outdoor radios from 2003, thus is well positioned to use the past experience for development of next generation product.

CFM microwave radio product line has been the main type of radio SAF has been supplying to the market over many years and is still demanded. Such medium capacity, mature, yet extremely reliable and feature rich radio is still required to deploy telecom networks in developing markets.

FreeMile product line is represented by 3 models covering unlicensed frequency bands in 5.8, 17 and 24 GHz, which are made available for use in a growing number of countries around the globe.
