Customers are the key to our success and we made some great wins during the third quarter. It has been particularly pleasing to see our continued strong progress in the US market, winning customers against the US competition. Deals won in the third quarter include Aspen Square, Handelsbanken, Zleep Hotels, the South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner, Nord Pool and Symphony Group. Our existing maintenance customer base is a huge asset for Basware, and we continued to make great progress in transforming these customers to our cloud solutions. This benefits customers by increasing their flexibility and providing them access to the latest innovations via ongoing automatic updates. Customers transformed recently include Valmet, Immochan, Bradken, JELD-WEN, Ramboll and Gjensidige.
Basware continues to lead innovation in our industry and we announced a number of developments in the third quarter that harness the data in our systems for the benefit of our customers. We have further enhanced our award-winning Analytics function with the addition of peer benchmarking and predictive analytics. We announced our partnership with Nordea to offer Basware's Discount product to Nordea's corporate banking customers to enable them to achieve better working capital management. We also launched Basware Vault, our compliant, efficient and secure cloud-based archiving service for e-invoices.
At the same time as focusing on customers and growing cloud revenues, we have successfully executed the productivity programme announced in November 2016. As a result we have controlled our cost base while at the same time driving cloud revenue growth, continuing innovation and increasing sales and marketing productivity.
Our people are the source of our strength as a company and employee satisfaction is very important to Basware. It is therefore very pleasing that Basware was a winner of the Charlotte Business Journal 2017 Best Places to Work award. As well as demonstrating the strength of our culture and values, it is also a recognition of Basware's progress in the US market.
Looking back on the last twelve months, Basware has delivered on all of the areas that were outlined as strategy enablers in October 2016, in particular, continuing to strengthen sales and marketing, seeing great progress in offering value added services to customers, creating a performance culture with all executive team members now Basware shareholders, and successfully implementing a productivity programme to enable scalable growth. This sets a very strong foundation for Basware to capture the significant market opportunity ahead of us and I am excited and confident about Basware's future.
NET SALES
Basware's net sales for the third quarter amounted to EUR 35 444 thousand (EUR 35 295 thousand), a growth of 0.4 percent. This equated to 1.8 percent growth at constant currencies.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS
Basware has a growth strategy with high net sales growth expectations for the cloud business. Executing the strategy for 2017-2020 requires significant investments in sales and marketing and related resources as well as continued investments in product development. At the same time, the industry transformation from an on-premise license-based business model to a SaaS model will accelerate the decline of certain Basware revenue streams, including license sales and maintenance. The transformation will also make Consulting revenues more volatile. Until the transformation is complete, this will act as a drag on group net sales growth.
Additionally, even higher than expected pace in the license to SaaS transformation would have a negative impact on expected net sales in the short term. In addition to SaaS, Basware expects high growth rates in its network-based transaction services which will, besides successful sales effort, also require an efficient supplier onboarding process. Sales from Value Added Services, including Financing

Services, are dependent on Basware's ability to bring innovative and attractive products to the market according to its planned timetable and move customers quickly to a phase where they are using the services extensively enough to provide meaningful revenue to Basware.
The fact that close to 50 percent of the company's sales are expected to come from non-euro countries exposes the Group's net sales growth to foreign exchange rate movements. In case there is a significant depreciation of GBP, USD, NOK, SEK or AUD against the euro, reported net sales may be affected, despite good performance in local currencies. There is a risk that the political uncertainty in the UK leads to UK public sector bodies and UK private companies delaying decisions to implement P2P and Network services.
Execution of the growth strategy and going through constant change puts new demands on the organization as well as its management and leadership capabilities. The company's ability to attract, retain and develop the right type of talent to deliver on its strategy is critical as well as management focus and ability to drive change.
Basware considers acquisitions as part of its strategy. Acquisitions entails risks, such as failure in integrating acquisitions or in ensuring that the planned financial benefits and synergies of the acquisitions materialize.
The cloud transformation process requires cash investment. The company's ability to secure financing for this transformation may affect its ability to deliver on the strategy.
Basware's biggest operational risks relate to service disruption as a result of for example data centre failures, various data security threats and non-compliance risks related to Basware's solutions and services, the company's activities or its employees' behaviour. Operational risks are actively managed by continuous improvement in risk monitoring and protection practices as well as internal training of Basware's personnel.
Basware operates in a market where technological and business model innovation play a key role. While Basware is recognized as a leader within its segments by independent analysts, it is critical that Basware continues to innovate and develop its offering.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
Operating environment and market outlook
All organisations need to manage their purchasing processes from procurement through to handling invoices and paying them. Currently many organisations only have unsophisticated or partial tools to manage these processes and as a result many are faced with unmanaged spending, inefficient manual and paper-based processes and poor visibility of cashflows. Basware offers a uniquely complete solution for these challenges that is differentiated by the Basware Network, the largest e-invoicing network in the world, and enables customers to manage 100 percent of their spending and make their purchasing processes completely paperless.
Basware expects the demand for networked purchase to pay services to continue to grow. The total potential market for networked purchase to pay services is estimated to be worth EUR 15 billion in annual revenues in Europe and North America.

Interim Report

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34. The same accounting principles have been followed as in the annual financial statements.
Preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS 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 financial statements, 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. Percentage changes for net figures are shown on an absolute basis.
New and amended IFRS standards not yet adopted
Basware will adopt IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers as of January 1, 2018 (mandatory application), with full retrospective application. The Group made a preliminary analysis of the impacts of IFRS 15 in 2016 and further analysis has been conducted during 2017. The impacts were assessed by reviewing customer contracts in relation to the IFRS 15 revenue recognition model. Based on the assessment, the Group has identified those revenue types that will be affected by the new standard. The Group is currently in the process of calculating the impact on the Group's revenue and revising the Group's revenue recognition policy to conform to the new standard. As the new standard affects only a minority of the Group's customer contracts, the preliminary assessment indicates that the impact of the standard is not material to the Group's total revenue.
DEFINITION OF ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Basware presents the following financial measures to supplement its consolidated financial statements which are prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures are designed to measure growth and provide insight into the company's underlying operational performance. The Group has applied the guidance from the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on Alternative Performance Measures which is applicable as of July 3, 2016, and defined alternative performance measures as follows:
Cloud revenue includes net sales from SaaS and other subscription revenues, transactions services and financing services excluding alliance fees.
Non-cloud revenue includes net sales from licences, maintenance and consulting, as well as alliance fees.
Organic revenue growth is calculated by comparing net sales between comparison periods in constant currencies excluding alliance fees as well as net sales from acquisitions that have taken place in the past 12 months.
Net sales in constant currencies is calculated by eliminating the impact of exchange rate fluctuations by calculating the net sales for the comparable period by using the current period's exchange rates.
Gross investments are total investments made to non-current assets including acquisitions and capitalized research and development costs.
Other capitalized expenditure consists of investments in property, plant & equipment and intangible assets excluding acquisitions and capitalized research and development costs.
EBITDA is calculated as operating result plus depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated from EBITDA excluding any adjustments related to alliance fees, acquisitions and disposals, restructuring and efficiency measures, impairment losses and litigation fees and settlements.
Adjusted operating result (Adjusted EBIT) is calculated from operating result excluding any adjustments related to alliance fees, acquisitions and disposals, restructuring and efficiency measures, impairment losses and litigation fees and settlements.
Adjusted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) is calculated by excluding from the result any adjustments related to alliance fees, acquisitions and disposals, restructuring and efficiency measures, impairment losses and litigation fees and settlements.
Subscription annual recurring revenue gross order intake is calculated by summing the total order intake in the period expressed as an annual contract value. This includes SaaS and other subscription types. Transaction revenue is not included.
