Building a Strong Digia Together
Digia has undergone significant changes in the last couple of years. We have worked hard to build success based on our strengths. Our operations rest on solid foundations and we have the will and ability to further develop our business. These development efforts are continuously ongoing.
The Finnish IT market has experienced slow growth in recent times. At the same time, consumerization and rapid technological development are constantly transforming our customers' business environments. This change entails both a challenge and an opportunity: IT purchasing practices also evolve. IT service providers need to be able to adapt and innovate in order to be able to offer true advantage and partnership in the changing business environment.
The widespread uncertainty in the macroeconomy is reflected in our clientele to some extent, manifesting itself for instance as lengthened decision-making processes and cost pressures on purchases. On the other hand, many customers seek solutions to these same challenges – increased cost-efficiency and productivity – from IT solutions. IT can also be used to create innovative business models that generate competitive advantages.
Year 2013 at home and abroad
In 2013, we continued to execute our strategy systematically both at home and abroad. The business environments, growth potential and business models are different in our domestic business and in our international Qt software business.
In our Finnish operations we focused on sharpening our offering and genuinely being there for our customers' everyday needs in order to offer solutions that have a significant positive impact on the Finnish society. In spring 2013 we asked our customers what qualities they most appreciate in their IT partnerships. Three responses stood out above the others: ability, customer understanding and keeping promises. These things may seem obvious, but closer examination shows that the IT sector still has a lot to learn in this respect. We take these customer wishes for the whole IT sector seriously.
Abroad, we focused on our solidly advancing Qt business by strengthening the sales network and investing in product development. These efforts are temporarily affecting cost structures and profitability, but they are an investment for the future. We have strong faith in Qt technology and its success.
Progress through cooperation
Ability, cooperation and a strong will to create everyday success will continue to drive us at Digia in 2014. I want to extend warm thanks to our personnel for their efforts towards our common goals, and to our owners for the trust they have shown in Digia's business. Particularly great thanks are due to our customers, whose valuations, goals and feedback will continue to guide our business also this year.
Juha Varelius CEO
Breaking Down old Barriers
IT services form an inseparable part of business processes and customer service. Consumer services are leading the way.
It is harder every day to draw a line between where companies' employees or customers make use of IT services and where they don't. This is why it may no longer be tenable to try to measure the market or functionality of IT services as a separate entity.
Consumerization drives development
The effects of consumerization are clearly visible in the daily operations of Digia's customers. Employees' requirements for systems to be device-independent, accessible 24/7 and easy to use, thanks to containing the familiar logic of common consumer services, put pressure on IT management and their production of secure and controlled services.
The boundaries between consumer and business applications are indistinct. The demands of consumerization and the capabilities made possible by swift technological advances are driving the sector forward at a fast pace. This demands agility from service providers in order to meet demand.
Cloud services bring flexibility into purchases
Cloud services make it possible to adopt even large service entities with short turnaround times. On the other hand, they also make it possible to offer individual functionalities that used to be available as parts of larger systems as separate services. This allows small and medium-sized enterprises to make use of functions that were previously only available to large corporations due to the sizeable initial investments they required.
Advancing towards new business models
The provision of services is a form of generating value. Instead of offering a strongly technology-oriented model, there is a shift towards building innovative business models with a competitive edge. We are shifting from IT investments that aim to maintain competitiveness and create cost savings and efficiency towards IT purchases that provide new ways of standing out from the crowd. In this model the sales and purchasing processes are different from what they used to be. This requires a new kind of competence on both sides, as well as a deep partnership.
Growth from International Products
Enabling international growth and investing in product business are two of Digia's strategic objectives and areas of focus. These decisions are based on market trends and a strong belief in Digia's own Qt technology.
Digia's investments in international business have focused around the Qt interface and software development environment, which is owned and developed by the company. Qt is a software developers' tool that allows for efficient, operating system-independent development of programs. The same source code can easily be adapted to work on Windows, Mac or Linux workstations, as well as today's popular iOS and Android operating systems.
Advent of new applications
The market for the production and sale of Qt software development tools can roughly be divided into three separate segments: desktop software, embedded software and mobile applications. Digia's customers are companies that develop their own applications in these segments. Digia's Qt environment is highly competitive in all these segments. A large part of our business is still related to the development of desktop applications, but embedded systems are experiencing strong growth. Mobile applications are a new market for Qt, and how it progresses will become clear in the next few years.
The main trend behind the growth of Qt is the spreading of touchscreen applications across an ever greater number of sectors. Touchscreens are used more and more in industries such as automotive, telecommunications, home entertainment and consumer electronics, as well as the main driver behind all of these – the mobile phone industry. With several operating systems in use at the same time, application developers are looking for solutions that allow them to use their programming code in all the major platforms. This is a competitive advantage not only because it provides access to a wider market, but also because it enhances efficiency thanks to its speed and lower expertise requirements.
Digia invests in its Qt network
Global success requires competence and a widespread presence in the most important markets. Digia has been expanding its sales and development network to cover the major markets:
- Europe: Finland, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Russia
- Asia: China, Japan (distributor)
- North America: USA
The goal for 2014 is to continue expending the sales network, especially in emerging markets. In the future, Digia will also focus even more on developing a network of distributors and an online business.
Great market potential
Great opportunities lie in the area of international software products, although of course large-scale investments are needed. Digia's international business has been growing at a good rate in the last few years. This indicates that prior investments have been in the right direction. Digia will continue its emphasis on international growth in 2014.
Added Value in a Challenging Market
Digia's strengths in Finland are based on good customer understanding, which leads to the ability to offer customers IT services that give them competitive edge.
The IT market grew slowly in Finland in 2013. Caution arising from the global economic situation lengthened customers' decision-making processes and delayed the start of new projects. There was good demand on the market for ERP systems and integration services, but at the same time competition in these areas was tough.
Close to customers' everyday business
Ability to act fast and make decisions that benefit the customer's everyday business are Digia's strengths. Increasing price competition means that service innovations are needed, as well as a strong ability to productize services. Because our people work closely with our customers, they are well set to do this.
Digia's solid international partnerships, market knowledge and efforts in developing products in specific chosen areas allow us to offer an optimal mix that responds to market demand and competition.
Cross-sector expertise
Operators especially in the retail and services sectors are subjected to continuous development pressure due to escalating competition and swift alterations in consumer behaviour. The manufacturing industry is increasingly transforming into a service provider and functions are being digitized everywhere. This is changing our customers' earnings logic, as well as the competence needs demanded of personnel.
End users demand a multichannel approach and user-friendly services, and this is happening right across the board. Digia's in-depth cross-sector expertise makes it possible for our customers to make use of best practices and take new service innovations into use in this consumerizing environment.
Sharpening Focus in Finland, Qt Growth Abroad
In Finland, Digia helps its customers in developing services, steering operations and utilizing information. Internationally, the company is growing through its Qt business.
In 2013, Digia sharpened its portfolio in Finland to ensure it meets customers' business needs even better than before. The Russian business was discontinued, while Swedish operations were brought more closely under Finnish management.
The integration business developed favourably and continued to grow. Digia increased its capacity in this business area, and emphasised training. Demand for ERP systems was good in 2013, although it fluctuated depending on the sector. The market circumstances still caused caution in customers' purchasing behaviour, and sales cycles were consequently long.
Continued growth in the product business
In 2013, Digia's goal was to continue growing its scalable product business. The company did well in meeting this objective, as the share of the product business out of Digia's consolidated net sales continued to rise. In the reporting period, the product business accounted for EUR 41.0 (36.5) million or 41.1 (36.4) per cent of consolidated net sales.
Internationalisation through Qt
Digia's international Qt business' like-for-like net sales grew 25% during 2013. Further investments into Qt product development and sales network detracted from profitability, but demand and bid volumes were good. Sales were particularly good in the USA, Germany and China, where the sales organisation was bolstered further.
Competitive Edge from Service Development
Improving the customer experience begins with understanding the customer's practices and changes in the business environment.
During 2013, Digia made extensive efforts to develop and streamline its offering. Digia wants to offer consulting, multichannel services and service management tools that enhance the customer's competitive edge.
Traditional business models are changing
Digitization has inescapably changed our daily lives and many traditional business models are changing. The aim of service development is to improve the customer experience, and therefore efforts are founded on an in-depth understanding of the customer's practices and business environment. By forecasting consumer behaviour and anticipating trends, it is possible to develop innovative earnings principles.
When generating new multichannel services and supporting business models that give true competitive edge, it is also important to understand and determine the effects of the changes on a company's existing processes, models and IT architectures.
Digia helps its customers to identify core customer groups and their changing behaviours. With this knowledge in hand it is possible to develop services directed, for example, at different points in the buying process. The customer's service portfolio, whether it consists of consumer services, internal services or something else, can also be managed with Digia's solutions.
Use of data in service development
As business processes become digitized, more and more data is available. Harnessed to decision-making needs, this data allows opportunities for understanding customers' behaviour, channels and purchase processes and therefore allows for even better services to be developed.
Emphasis on personalization and interactiveness
The ability to personalize content according to the end user's behaviour and wishes is more and more important in e-services. Enhancing customer understanding and managing feedback will in future be even more important aspects of Digia's customers' product and service development. It is crucial to have well-functioning channels for interacting with stakeholders, as well as the ability to analyse feedback. Continuous learning will gain even greater significance in the workplace, which creates needs for electronic learning environments intended for personnel.
Effective service management
Service digitization, outsourcing and multi-supplier environments often mean that service process ownership becomes fragmented and dispersed, which clouds the true efficiency and costs of the processes. Digia's service management solutions offer effective ways of leading services and measuring costs.
Steering Operations to Improve Performance
IT solutions enable the steering of operations in ways that improve performance and produce seamless customer experiences. They also support the development of new customer-driven business models.
Digia's customers have a need to offer their clients products and services that enhance the customer experience. This demands in-depth customer understanding from them and from their IT partners. Additionally, they are usually looking to increase their own performance level and cost efficiency.
Digia's solutions for steering operations ensure operational reliability and a seamless customer experience. These solutions must support all levels of the multichannel service chain and improve operational performance. It may no longer be enough to increase the efficiency of existing processes in order to improve competitiveness; instead, there has to be a readiness to adopt new models of business, production and human resources management, among others. If a company wants to have the ability to adapt to future needs, its IT systems must be built in a flexible way.
Good demand in 2013
Digia has long-standing experience in the field of steering operations with IT solutions. Customers seek comprehensive solutions that are quick to implement. Digia's portfolio covers numerous operational and production management verticals, investment and asset management, NGO operations, and, as a new addition, solutions for workforce management and optimization. The selection is composed of Digia's own software products combined with solutions built upon third-party products.
Demand in this field remained at a good level in 2013, even though the uncertain economic climate delayed some customers' decision-making.
Future prospects
Strong trends in steering operations with IT are ever greater demand for cloud services and the growing ubiquity of mobile applications. Cloud services are already common in sales and CRM functions, and they are growing in ERP and workforce management. Digia has taken these trends into account in its action planning.
Utilizing Information Brings Agility and Support into Management
Continuous, quick changes in customers' business environments are creating a strong demand for Digia's integration and analytics services.
Having the right data in the hands of the right people at the right time supports swift strategic decision-making and allows for both reaction and proactive anticipation. Proper information logistics brings out things that were previously lost in floods of data.
Integration services were Digia's fastest-growing business within Finland in 2013, and customer satisfaction was high in this segment. Advancing analytics services are a natural addition in this portfolio.
Customer understanding and new service models
Digia is seeing an increasing emphasis among its customers on networked business processes and the time- and place-independent utilization of real-time data as a support for decisionmaking. Rapidly growing quantities of data combined with advanced integration and analytics solutions create ever greater opportunities for recognising the causes behind phenomena and reacting to the rapid changes in the environment.
Digia's strong customer understanding, proficiency and experience as a provider of integration solutions, coupled with its productized service centre model and comprehensive analytics tools, form a solid basis for business growth.
Future prospects
Customer interest in buying complete solutions rather than individual system deliveries is growing sharply. Other major trends in information logistics include collaborative management systems, expanding situation reports and reviews to encompass predictions and forecasts for the future, user-driven analytics, device-independent mobile use of applications, day-to-day use of simple analyses, and the cross-analysis of extensive and multiform masses of data drawn from various sources (Big Data).
Year of Strong Growth
2013 was the first full calendar and fiscal year for Digia's international Qt business, after it was taken over in September 2012. The takeover and subsequent development measures have borne fruit.
For Digia, international business operations have recently been strongly oriented towards the production and sale of software development tools. The spearhead in this trend is the Qt software development environment, which Digia acquired in September 2012. In 2013 the Qt business already accounted for 19.9 % of Digia's entire consolidated net sales.
Global market, broad clientele
The Qt commercial development environment is actively used by some 4,000 desktop and embedded software customers. These customers represent a wide variety of sectors, including consumer electronics, automotive industry, aeronautics, energy, defence and the media. In terms of licence sales, the major markets are the United States, Germany and Japan. Most of the revenue from Qt comes from licence sales, and this figure followed an upward trend during 2013.
Increasing role of mobile device platforms
Digia believes that the current emphasis on mobile platforms in the software development market will become even more marked. This is why one of the areas of focus for 2013 was to develop the mobile support offered by Qt for the Google Android and Apple iOS operating systems. This was launched during 2013. Digia considers Qt to be a highly competitive software development environment for all the leading operating systems.
Further development of the product selection
From the perspective of the Qt business, the market can roughly be divided into three segments: desktop software, embedded software and mobile applications. Digia's customers are companies that develop their own applications or products in these areas. During 2013, Digia enhanced its offerings in all three segments. Besides mobile support (iOS, Android), Digia has published new product versions for the development of embedded systems (Qt Enterprise Embedded) and mobile applications (Qt Mobile). The new versions include features that are tailored for the aforementioned segments, as well as functionality that is only available with a commercial licence.
A new product family launched during 2013 was Qt Cloud Services, which can be used by developers for example for storing application data and managing users. The scope of the services is growing with each new product version. The internet is also becoming an increasingly strong service channel for product distribution and customer support, thanks to a new customer portal.
Investments in the sales network
Besides product development, 2013 saw a focus on developing the business itself. The aim was to expand both Digia's own sales network and the network of distributors. Digia's own sales offices can now be found in Europe, North America and Asia. A new sales office was opened during 2013 in Shanghai. That network is complemented by distributor agreements in Russia, Japan, Poland, China and India. Digia is planning to open sales offices in South Korea, Taiwan and Brazil during 2014.
The like-for-like growth of Digia's net sales from the Qt business was 25 per cent in 2013 compared to the previous year. A lot of this growth was due to the expansion and enhanced efficiency of sales. Development of sales processes will continue, with further growth being sought from a boosted product selection.

Cornerstones of Digia's Strategy
• Maintaining competitive and evolving service operations, ensuring a steady cash flow and moderate growth.
• Supplementing the existing product selection with scalable business models for accelerated growth. This is done by turning services into replicable, sector-specific packages of solutions and related services. In addition, the company develops software and services for international online sale.
• Balancing short-term earning power with long-term sustainable growth through careful investment management.
• Emphasising personnel motivation and commitment, and enhancing the company's image as an attractive employer.
• Ensuring that the company's management, structure and operating models work harmoniously and support the achievement of strategic objectives.
Staff Competence and Development of Leadership
During 2013, Digia paid particular attention to developing management and leadership work.
A competent and highly motivated personnel is the basis for Digia's success. Good leadership has a direct effect on staff motivation and, consequently, the whole organisation's productivity. The Digia Leadership Academy was started up in spring 2013 to bolster the development of management and leadership efforts. As its training partner and coach, Digia chose Aalto Executive Education. The key themes in the training include smooth management team operations, leadership skills in strategy implementation, and customer-driven operations and how to manage them. Supervisors and project managers were also offered facilitation training to help them engage personnel and adopt new business models together. The management and leadership project at the Digia Leadership Academy will continue in 2014.
Similarly, the Digia Learning Academy was established in 2013 to support staff competence development. The aim of the academy is to anticipate strategic training needs, and to offer modules that support employees' strategic competence development according to plan. The Learning Academy also increases competence and knowledge sharing and promotes a culture of doing things together.
Organisation 2.0 research project
Digia's finance sector business unit is taking part in the Organisation 2.0 research project. Initiated by JAMK University of Applied Sciences in late 2013, the project aims to improve the quality of the workplace. The project relates to examining and developing new ways of improving productivity and increasing the meaningfulness of work. Included under the Working Life 2020 initiative of the Finnish Ministry of Employment and the Economy, besides JAMK, the project involves seven companies, Lappeenranta University of Technology and the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. The project will conclude at the end of 2015.
Incentives to support the fulfilment of targets and a positive Digia spirit
In 2013, Digia launched the new Digia Awards incentive scheme for all personnel, which rewards people for work well done, a positive can-do attitude, and exemplary actions. The candidates for the awards are nominated by the personnel themselves. The awards are given out on a quarterly basis and consist of varying sums of money at the individual, team and project levels.
Predictive Work Ability Management and Occupational Well-Being
Focus on ensuring coping ability, healthy lifestyles, proper health care and a good work/life balance.
Digia's work ability management centres around predictive action and comprehensive occupational welfare. The emphasis on well-being is reflected in many ways in the workplace. High-quality leadership is an important aspect of occupational well-being, and it was an area of particular attention in 2013. Healthy lifestyles and exercise among staff are supported through various clubs and fitness and culture vouchers, among other things. Digia makes available a very comprehensive occupational health care package that also covers specialist health care.
Digia's personnel take active part in diverse fitness campaigns; one that stands out from 2013 was the HeiaHeia! campaign, which encouraged staff to engage in diverse forms of exercise. The mileage thus covered fuelled a joint virtual trip around the world. Digia took the lead among company teams and produced exemplary results by circling the Earth faster than the targeted time and continuing on its journey all the way to the Moon.
During 2013, Digia also organised well-being events in collaboration with Smartum, Varma and local wellness entrepreneurs. These fairs included opportunities for measuring one's blood pressure, body composition and lung capacity, among other things.
Responsible workplace
Digia strives to identify any issues that negatively affect work ability at an early stage and to take corrective measures in line with the Good Work Ability model. The model incorporates two related aspects: early intervention in work ability problems, and management of sickness absences.
Balancing life and work
Maintaining a good work/life balance is important. Digia wants to support its employees through diverse situations in life by offering flexible work terms. For example, overtime is not encouraged at Digia. Employees with families receive assistance in looking after sick children. Other ways of fostering the ability to cope with work include encouraging a positive spirit, promoting team work and sharing information.

Internal Control and Risk Management Related to Financial Reporting
Control functions and control environment
The company has a controller function tasked with verifying monthly reports. This controller function reports to the management, the Board of Directors and the Board's Audit Committee regarding the financial performance of the company and its divisions.
The company uses a reporting system which compiles separate subsidiaries' reports into the consolidated financial statements. There are written directives for completing the financial reports of subsidiaries. Compliance with these directives is monitored by the controller function. The company also has the necessary, separate reporting facilities for monitoring business operations and asset management.
The Group finance unit provides instructions for drawing up financial statements and interim financial statements, and compiles the consolidated financial statements. The finance unit has centralised control over the group's funding and asset management, and is in charge of managing interest rate risk.
Internal risk control
As a general principle, authorisation is distributed in Digia in such a way that no individual may independently perform measures unbeknown to at least one other individual. For example, the company's bookkeeping and asset management are managed by separate persons, and two authorised persons are needed to sign on behalf of the company.
The Group's business is divided into business units lead by Senior Vice Presidents (SVPs) reporting to the CEO. Reporting and supervision are based on annual budgets that are reviewed monthly, on monthly income reporting and on updates of the latest forecasts.
The SVPs in charge of the divisions report to the Group Management Team on development matters, strategic and annual planning, business and income monitoring, investments, potential acquisition targets and internal organisation matters related to their areas of responsibility. Each division has its own management team.
Digia's operational management and supervision take place according to the corporate governance system described above.
The Group's administration unit is in charge of HR management and policy, as well as properties and the viability of working conditions in each facility. The legal affairs unit provides instructions for and monitors contracts made by the company and ensures the legality of the Group's operations.
Communications
The Group's General Counsel is in charge of the company's external communications and their correctness. External communications include financial reports and other stock exchange communications. The General Counsel is responsible for the publication of interim reports and financial statements, as well as for actions related to convening and holding Shareholders' Meetings. Most communications take place through the company's website and using stock exchange releases.
Risk management
The purpose of the company's risk management process is to identify and manage risks in such a way that the company is able to meet its strategic and financial targets. Risk management is a continuous process, by which the major risks are identified, listed and assessed, the key persons in charge of risk management are appointed and risks are prioritised according to an assessment scale in order to compare the effects and mutual significance of risks.
The main operational risks handled by Digia's risk management function are customer risk, personnel risk, project risk, data security risk, IPR risk and goodwill risk.
The company manages customer risk by actively developing its customer portfolio structure and avoiding any potential risk positions. Personnel risks are actively assessed and managed using a goal and development discussion process for key personnel. To improve personnel commitment, the company strives to improve the efficiency of internal communications systematically, using regular personnel events and increasing the visibility of management.
Key project audits are carried out with a view to enhancing project risk management and securing the success of project deliveries to customers. In addition, the Group's certified quality systems are regularly evaluated and the Group has increased the efficiency of its project delivery reporting practices in relation to corporate governance and finance. Data security risk is managed through data security audits and continuous development of working models, security practices and processes. Risks associated with the integration of businesses, shared operating models and best practices, as well as their integrated development, are managed according to plan under the supervision of the Group Management Team. Risks typical to software business, especially to international product business, relating to appropriate protection of company's own IPRs and violation of IPRs of third parties are managed through extensive internal policies, standard contracts and appropriate follow-up and analysis. With respect to IFRS-compliant accounting policies, the Group actively monitors goodwill and the related impairment tests, as part of prudent and proactive risk management practices within financial management.
In addition to operational risks, the company is subject to financial risks. Digia Plc's internal and external financing and the management of financial risks are coordinated by the finance function of the Group's parent company. This function is responsible for the Group's liquidity, sufficiency of financing, and the management of interest rate and currency risk. The Group is exposed to several financial risks during the normal course of its business. The objective of the Group's risk management is to minimise the adverse effects of changes in the financial markets on the Group's earnings. The primary types of financial risks are interest rate risk, credit risk and funding risk. The general principles of risk management are approved by the Board of Directors, and the Group's finance function is responsible for their practical implementation together with the business divisions.

Markets and Digia's Business Operations
Caution arising from the global economic situation has lengthened customers' decisionmaking processes and caused cost pressures in 2013, as customers opened their purchases to competitive tendering.
Digia has invested significantly in growing its integration business.The delivery capacity of this business area was reinforced during the review period with personnel increase through external recruitment and internal transfers, training and with productisation efforts. Growth was higher than expected, thanks to these efforts and good customer demand. The growth trend continued strong through the last quarter.
Demand for ERP systems was good in the review period. There were clear differences in demand from different sectors, customers continued displaying caution in their purchasing behaviour, and sales cycles remained long. Order and bid volumes were at a healthy level. Net sales grew compared to the previous year, meeting the targets set for the review period. Profitability remained at the previous year's level.
During the review period, the company reassessed the position of Russia in its growth strategy with regard to future growth potential, business risks and overall investment management. As a result, Digia gave up its loss-making Russian operations during the last quarter, focusing in future on Qt licence sales in Russia.
The Qt business progressed well and its like-for-like net sales grew by 25.0 per cent for the review period and 23.7 per cent for the fourth quarter compared to the previous year. Demand and bid volumes were both good. No major individual deals were made during the fourth quarter, however.
The profitability of operations was low during the review period; this was due to significant, target-oriented investments aimed at developing the business.
The focus of Qt operations was primarily on licence sales, which meant that the product business accounted for more than the target level of 75% of net sales.
During the period, the company continued fulfilling previously reported plans related to Qt product development and areas of focus. In December the company launched a new version of the Qt development environment intended for mobile developers, including Android and iOS support. New mobile platforms will be incorporated in coming versions.
Financial Indicators

More detailed key figures for the last five years and the formulae for the key figures are provided in the notes to the financial statements (Note 30).
Net Sales
Digia's consolidated net sales for the reporting period were EUR 99.7 (100.4) million, down 0.7 per cent from the same period in 2012.
The operating profit for the period fell slightly from the comparison figures. This was due to the fact that in 2012 the company had EUR 4.5 million in accrued income from the mobile contract engineering business, which no longer existed in 2013 as the business unit was closed down at the end of 2012. The comparison figures for 2012 also include an exceptional net sales item of EUR 4.2 million related to a Qt business acquisition licensing deal made in the third quarter of 2012. Excluding the effect of this licensing deal, the accrued income of the Qt business grew both in the review period (25.0 per cent) and in Q4 (23.7 per cent). Thanks to this growth, the whole company's net sales grew like-for-like, both in the review period (6.7 per cent) and in the fourth quarter (7.2 per cent). Besides the Qt business, net sales were positively affected by other operations, especially an individual third-party software maintenance deal with low margins, worth EUR 2.4 million, made in the second quarter.
During the reporting period, the product business accounted for EUR 41.0 (36.5) million or 41.1 (36.4) per cent of consolidated net sales.
International operations accounted for EUR 21.1 (20.6) million or 21.2 (20.5) per cent of consolidated net sales.
The Qt business accounted for EUR 19.9 (18.7) million of consolidated net sales.
Profit Performance and Profitability
Digia's consolidated operating profit before extraordinary items for the review period was EUR 4.5 (8.2) million, down 44.5 per cent year-on-year. Profitability (EBIT%) before extraordinary items was 4.6 (8.2) per cent.
Digia's consolidated operating profit after extraordinary items for the review period was EUR - 2.8 (6.9) million. Profitability (EBIT%) after extraordinary items was -2.8 (6.9) per cent.

The Group made a EUR 0.4 million writedown related to itemised intangible assets allocated to the fourth quarter.

Shareholders' Meetings
Convening on 12 March 2013, Digia Plc's Annual General Meeting (AGM) adopted the financial statements for 2012, released the Board members and the CEO from liability, determined Board emoluments, resolved to raise the number of Board members to seven (7), and elected the company's Board of Directors for a new term.
With regard to profit distribution for 2012, the AGM approved the Board's proposal to pay a dividend of EUR 0.10 per share to all shareholders listed in the shareholder register maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd on the reconciliation date of 15 March 2013. The dividend payment date was 22 March 2013.
The AGM granted the following authorisations to the Board:
Authorisation for the Board of Directors to decide on buying back own shares and/or accepting them as collateral
The AGM authorised the Board to decide on the buyback and/or acceptance as collateral of a maximum of 2,000,000 shares in the company. This buyback can only be executed by means of the company's unrestricted equity. The Board shall decide on how these shares are to be bought. Own shares may be bought back in disproportion to the holdings of the shareholders. The authorisation also includes acquisition of shares through public trading organised by NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Oy in accordance with the rules and instructions of NASDAQ OMX Helsinki and Euroclear Finland Ltd, or through offers made to shareholders. Shares may be acquired in order to improve the company's capital structure, to fund acquisitions or other business transactions, for offering share-based incentive schemes, to sell on, or to be annulled. The shares must be acquired at the market price in public trading. This authorisation supersedes that granted by the AGM of 13 March 2012 and is valid for 18 months – i.e. until 12 September 2014.
Authorisation for the Board of Directors to decide on a share issue and granting of special rights
The AGM authorised the Board to decide on an ordinary or bonus issue of shares and the granting of special rights (as defined in Section 1, Chapter 10 of the Limited Liability Companies Act) in one or more instalments, as follows. The issue may total a maximum of 4,000,000 shares. The authorisation applies both to new shares and to treasury shares held by the company. By virtue of the authorisation, the Board has the right to decide on share issues and the granting of special rights, in deviation from the pre-emptive subscription rights of the shareholders (a directed issue). The authorisation may be used to fund or complete acquisitions or other business transactions, for offering share-based incentive schemes, to develop the company's capital structure, or for other purposes. The Board was authorised to decide on all terms related to the share issue or special rights, including the subscription price, its payment in cash or (partly or wholly) in capital contributed in kind or its being written off against the subscriber's receivables, and its recognition in the company's balance sheet. This authorisation supersedes that granted by the AGM of 13 March 2012 and is valid for 18 months – i.e. until 12 September 2014.
Based on the authorisation received, the Board decided on 12 March 2013 to make a directed share issue of 33,326 to the company's management, in accordance with Section 4 of Chapter 9 of the Limited Liability Companies Act, as part of the payments related to the sharebased incentive scheme for 2012.

Share-based Payments
Share incentive scheme and management ownership
The company has a share bonus system as a part of its key personnel commitment and incentive scheme. With authorisation received at the AGM, the Board made a decision on the CEO's share-based incentive scheme in spring 2010.
The scheme comprises four earning periods, which are the calendar years 2010–2013. According to the scheme, rewards totalling a maximum value equivalent to 100,000 shares will be paid for each of the earning periods from 2011 to 2013, based on the fulfilment of earning criteria set by the Board. For 2013 the reward will be determined based on the company's earnings per share and net sales, according to principles set separately by the Board.
Based on the aforementioned scheme, the CEO was paid a reward equivalent to the value of 35,000 shares in 2013, based on the results from 2012. The bonus was paid in the form of shares held by the company.
In addition to the CEO, the scheme applies to the company's other management team members, who are entitled to share the same share bonus that the CEO receives. Based on the scheme, the management team members were paid a reward equivalent to the value of 35,000 shares in 2013.
Additionally, a sum equivalent to the value of 21,500 shares was paid to specified key personnel of the company during the financial year. The rewards are paid in four equal instalments between 2010 and 2013, based on the results from 2009.
All bonuses are paid as a 50/50 combination of shares and cash. The cash portion of the bonus will primarily be used to cover taxes and other comparable costs of the scheme. The system involves no vesting periods limiting the sale of shares.
The payment of bonuses according to the share-based incentive schemes is subject to the employee in question being employed by the company on the payment date.
On 19 December 2013 the Board decided to establish a new share-based incentive scheme for the CEO and other members of the top management. The scheme comprises three earning periods, which are the calendar years 2014–2016. The earning criteria are the Group's earnings per share and net sales, which are applied according to procedures approved annually by the Board. The scheme comprises a maximum reward equal to the value of 200,000 shares.
According to the list of shareholders dated 31 December 2013, Digia's Board of Directors and CEO owned shares in the company as follows:
| Pertti Kyttälä | 0 |

The Group's market capitalisation totalled EUR 81,623,772 at the end of the financial year.
The company received the following flagging notifications during the reporting period:
- Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company announced on 22 February 2013 that its holding in the company had risen above the 5% flagging threshold, to 9.12% of all shares and votes in the company.

Risks and Uncertainties
The main operational risks monitored under Digia's risk management are related to customers, personnel, projects, data security, incorporeal rights and goodwill.
Short-term uncertainties are related to any major changes occurring in the company's core business areas. The company made a significant investment in Qt technology and related business opportunities with the Qt business acquisition completed in 2012. If the Qt business fails to develop according to the company's expectations, the investments and related costs may have a significant impact on the company's short-term profitability. Possible changes in the competitive scenario or market for that business may also impact the company's future net sales and profitability.
In addition, the general economic recession may affect customers' investment decisions and liquidity, and thereby the company's sales and profits. Signs of the impact of the global economy on customers' investment decisions and the schedules of planned projects were seen steadily throughout the period under review.
Furthermore, the growth in customer project sizes increases the risks related to projects and their profitability.
Risks and their management are described on the company's website at www.digia.com.
Future Prospects
With the structural reorganisation that took effect at the beginning of 2014, Digia hopes to enhance the focus of its various business units and the investments made to improve their efficiency. Within the Qt business, the emphasis is clearly on creating the necessary conditions for growth. At the same time, the company works to maintain the profitability of that business. In domestic operations, the company will look to bring profitability to a good level and to achieve organic growth that at least matches the general market rates. Besides organic growth, the company will actively pursue opportunities to make carefully considered business acquisitions that support its strategy.
The company expects the Finnish IT market to remain at roughly the previous year's level in 2014.
Efforts will continue in order to develop the company's customer understanding and sales and service portfolio, to ensure that it can offer increasingly competitive services and solutions for boosting its customers' business efficiency.
The company expects demand for its ERP systems to remain good, although increased caution on the customer side and lengthening sales cycles may have an effect on future order intake and requests for tenders.
Demand for integration services is also expected to stay at a good level. The company predicts that the net sales for this unit will continue to grow, although at a slightly slower rate than in 2013 dues to customers' cost-saving pressures.
The company believes that the cost pressures felt by customers and the resulting caution will mostly affect demand for customer-specific solutions and services, where decision-making may be delayed, especially in larger projects.
The Qt order book is healthy, considering the time of year and general market situation, and the company expects demand to continue growing even in the large enterprises customer segment. Contract lead times are very long in this market, however – typically 6–18 months – which can cause significant fluctuations between quarters in terms of net sales and, particularly, profitability.
In future the Chinese and Russian units will form part of the Qt segment and will focus on Qt licence sales.
The company predicts a continued strong growth of income generated by the Qt business in 2014. Significant investments will continue to be made in developing the Qt business and Qt technology, while the company will further reinforce its sales network, especially in Asia. Investments made with the aim of securing growth will have a negative impact on profitability, which is why the company expects the profitability of the Qt business to be only slightly positive in 2014.
Overall, the company predicts its consolidated net sales for 2014 to grow organically at a rate exceeding that of the general market. Overall profitability is expected to rise from last year's levels, but further investments in growing the Qt business will continue to hold back the whole company's profitability.
Major Events After the Balance Sheet Date
There have been no significant events after the end of the financial year.

Basic Information on the Group and its Accounting Policies
Basic information on the company
Digia is a Finnish software and service provider that helps leading organizations in developing services, steering operations and utilizing information – at home and abroad.
Digia employs around one thousand experts in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Germany, China, Russia and the United States. The company is listed on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki exchange (DIG1V). The Group's parent company is Digia Plc. The parent company is domiciled in Helsinki and its registered office is at Valimotie 21, 00380 Helsinki.
Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), observing the IAS and IFRS standards, as well as SIC and IFRIC interpretations valid on 31 December 2013.
Consolidation principles
The consolidated financial statements include the parent company Digia Plc and subsidiaries in which the parent company directly or indirectly controls more than 50 per cent of the votes associated with shares or over which the parent company otherwise exercises control. Acquired subsidiaries are consolidated using the cost method, according to which the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity are measured at fair value at the time of acquisition, and the remaining difference between the acquisition price and the acquired shareholders' equity constitutes goodwill. In accordance with the exemption permitted by IFRS 1, acquisitions prior to the IFRS transition date have not been adjusted to correspond to the IFRS principles. Their values remain unchanged from Finnish Accounting Standards. Subsidiaries acquired during the fiscal period are included in the consolidated financial statements as of the date of acquisition, while divested subsidiaries are included until the date of sale. Intra-Group transactions, receivables, liabilities, unrealised margins and internal profit distribution are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The profit for the period is divided between the parent company shareholders and the minority. The minority interest is also presented as a separate item within shareholders' equity.
As of 1 January 2013 the Group has applied the following new or amended standards and interpretations:
- Amendment: IAS 1 Presentation of Other Comprehensive Income. Items of other comprehensive income will in future be classified as those which can be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss and those which can never be reclassified to profit or loss. The changes had no significant effect on the consolidated financial statements.
- Amendment: IFRS 1 Government Loans. Based on the amendment, first-time
adopters of IFRS do not have to apply IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement retrospectively to government loans with a below-market rate of interest. The changes had no effect on the consolidated financial statements.
- Amendment: IFRS 7 Financial Instruments. Disclosures and IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The aim is to improve the disclosure in the financial statements of how the offsetting of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet has affected the company's balance sheet, rights and responsibilities. The change had no effect on the consolidated financial statements.
- IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and revised IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements. The new IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements replaces the rules concerning consolidated financial statements in the existing IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and the interpretation SIC 12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. IFRS 10 does not affect how a company is consolidated into the group but whether it is consolidated according to the new definition of control. The changes had no effect on the consolidated financial statements.
- IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements and revised IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. This standards relates to the handling of joint arrangements. The change had no effect on the consolidated financial statements.
- IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities. This standard brings together all the requirements concerning the notes to consolidated financial statements. The change had no effect on the consolidated financial statements.
- IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement. The standard proposes a single definition of fair value to apply to all IFRS standards, and a shared approach to measuring fair value. The change had no effect on the consolidated financial statements.
- Revised IAS 19 Employee Benefits. The revised standard contains several changes concerning the accounting of defined benefit pension plans to make it more uniform and comparable. The change had no effect on the consolidated financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements under IFRS means that Group management must necessarily make certain estimates and judgments concerning the application of the accounting principles. Information about such considerations made by the management when applying the corporate accounting principles with the greatest influence on the figures presented in the financial statements are explained under the item 'Accounting policies requiring consideration by management and crucial factors of uncertainty associated with estimates'.
Segment reporting
Based on this reorganisation, Digia has employed single-segment reporting from the beginning of 2012. This means that Digia's operations and resources are managed as a single entity.
Foreign currency translation
Items referring to the earnings and financial position of the Group's units are recognised in the main currency of the unit's primary operating environment ('functional currency'). The
consolidated financial statements are given in euros, which is the operating and presentation currency of the parent company.
Receivables and liabilities denominated in foreign currency have been converted into euros at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising from foreign currency transactions are recognised through profit or loss. Foreign exchange gains and losses from operations are included in the corresponding items above operating profit.
The income statements of non-Finnish consolidated companies have been converted into euros at the weighted average exchange rate for the period, and their balance sheets have been converted at the exchange rate quoted on the balance sheet date. Translation differences arising from the application of the cost method are treated as items adjusting consolidated shareholders' equity.
Tangible assets
Property, plant and equipment (PPE) is carried at cost less accumulated planned depreciation and impairment. Assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation is not booked for land areas. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
| Buildings and structures | 25 years |
|---|---|
| Machinery and equipment | 3–8 years |
The residual value and useful life of assets is reviewed on each balance sheet date and, if necessary, adjusted to reflect any changes in expected economic value.
Capital gains and losses on elimination and the transfer of tangible assets are included either in other operating income or expenses.
Government grants
Grants received as compensation for costs are recognised in the income statements at the same time as the expenses related to the target of the grant are recognised as expenses. Grants of this kind are presented under other operating income.
Intangible assets
Goodwill
Goodwill corresponds to the proportion of the acquisition cost of an entity acquired between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2013 that exceeds the Group's share of the fair value of the entity's net assets on the date of acquisition. The acquisition cost also includes other direct expenses related to the acquisition, such as professionals' fees.
Goodwill is defined according to IFRS 3, i.e. as the difference between points 1 and 2 below:
- Sum of the following items:
1.1 The fair value of the consideration paid at the time of acquisition
1.2 The amount of any non-controlling interest in the object of acquisition
1.3 The fair value of any previously held non-controlling interest in the object of acquisition, in the case of a phased business combination
- The net sum of the acquisition date assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The goodwill for business combinations prior to 2004 corresponds to goodwill in accordance with previous accounting standards that has been used as the deemed cost. A portion of the goodwill of acquired entities is allocated to customer relationships or products originating in acquisitions and recognised in intangible assets. The portions of acquisition cost recognised in intangible assets are amortised over their useful life.
No regular amortisation is booked on goodwill but it is tested annually for impairment. For this purpose, goodwill is allocated to cash generating units. Goodwill is recognised at the original cost from which the impairment is deducted. Any adjustments of acquisition cost are booked no later than 12 months after the date of acquisition.
Research and development costs
Research costs are recognised as expenses in the income statement. Development costs arising from the design of new products are capitalised as intangible assets in the statement of financial position, until the product is ready for commercial utilisation and future economic benefit is expected from the product. Depreciation begins once the product is ready for commercial utilisation. The useful life of capitalised development expenses is 2 to 5 years, during which time the capitalised assets will be recognised as expenses by straight-line depreciation.
Other intangible assets and long-term expenses
Patents, trademarks and licences with a limited useful life are booked in the statement of financial position and recognised as expenses in the income statement by straight-line depreciation over their useful life. Amortisation is not booked on intangible assets with an unlimited useful life but they are tested annually for impairment.
Long-term expenses are capitalised and depreciated over their financial lifetime, which is defined as 3 to 5 years.
Leases
Leases on property, plant and equipment in which the Group bears a significant part of the risks and benefits characteristic of ownership are categorised as finance leases. A finance lease is recognised in the balance sheet at the fair value of the leased asset at the start of the lease period or at a lower current value of minimum lease payments. Assets acquired on finance leases are depreciated over the asset's useful life or the lease period, whichever is shorter. Lease obligations are included in interest-bearing debt. Leases in which the risks and benefits characteristic of ownership remain with the lessor are treated as operating leases. Leases
payable on the basis of other leases are recognised as expenses in the income statement in equal instalments over the lease period.
Financing assets and liabilities
Financing assets are divided into receivables and liabilities, either as held-to-maturity, heldfor-trading, or available-for-sale. Financial instruments are at first measured at fair value, with any fees deducted. Usually, the fair value corresponds with the sum paid or received for the instrument. Loans are included under non-current and current liabilities. Interest expenses are recognised as expenses in the period during which they have arisen. Loan arrangement costs are periodised during the loan period using the effective interest method.
Accounts receivable and other receivables
Accounts receivable and other receivables are measured at nominal value. A provision for impairment of accounts receivable is established when there is evidence based on a case-bycase risk assessment that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and withdrawable bank deposits and other shortterm investments. Accounts with a credit facility are treated as short-term loans under current liabilities.
Amortisation
On each balance sheet date, the Group estimates whether there is evidence that the value of an asset may have been impaired. If there is evidence of impairment, the amount recoverable from the asset is estimated. In addition, the recoverable amount is estimated annually on the following assets regardless of whether there is an indication of impairment or not: goodwill, and intangible assets with an unlimited useful life. The need for impairment is reviewed at the level of cash generating units, which refers to the lowest level of unit that is mainly independent of other units and whose cash flows can be separated from other cash flows. If the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill will not be revoked under any circumstances.
Employee benefits
Pension liabilities
The Group's pension schemes are arranged through a pension insurance company. The pension schemes are mainly defined contribution plans, and payments are recognised in the income statement during the period to which the payment applies. The Finnish Employees' Pensions Act (TyEL) pension scheme was treated as a defined contribution plan in 2012 and 2013.
The Group has incentive schemes where payments are made either in equity instruments or in cash. The benefits granted through these arrangements are measured at fair value on the date of their being granted and recognised as expenses in the income statement evenly during the vesting period. Correspondingly, in arrangements where the payment is made in cash, the liability and the change in its fair value is recognised as a liability on an accrual basis. The impact of these arrangements on the financial results is shown in the income statements under the cost of employee benefits.
Provisions
The Group recognises provisions when it has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made.
A restructuring provision is recognised when the Group has prepared a detailed restructuring plan, begun its implementation and disclosed the matter. The provision is based on expected actual costs, such as agreed compensation for termination of employment.
The Group recognises a provision for onerous contracts when the expected benefits to be derived from a contract are less than the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract.
A guarantee provision is recognised once a product or service subject to guarantee terms has been sold and the amount of potential guarantee costs can be estimated with sufficient accuracy.
Shares, dividends and shareholders' equity
Dividends proposed by the Board of Directors are not deducted from distributable shareholders' equity until the Board's approval is received. Immediate costs relating to the acquisition of Digia Plc's own shares are recognised as deductions in shareholders' equity.
Earnings per share
Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the period's earnings after tax belonging to the parent company's shareholders by the weighted average of shares outstanding during the fiscal period, excluding own shares acquired by Digia Plc. Diluted earnings per share are calculated assuming that all subscription rights and options have been exercised by the beginning of the next fiscal year. In addition to the weighted average of shares outstanding, the denominator also includes shares received from subscription rights and options assumed to have been exercised. The subscription rights and options assumed to have been exercised will not be taken into account in earnings per share if their actual price exceeds their average price during the fiscal year.
Income taxes
Taxes recognised in the income statement include taxes based on taxable income for the financial period, adjustments to taxes for previous periods, as well as changes in deferred taxes. Tax based on taxable income for the period is calculated using the corporate income tax rate applicable in each country. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences between the taxable values and book values of asset and liability items. The biggest temporary differences arise from depreciation of fixed assets, unused tax losses, and the revaluation of financial and derivative instruments at the fair price resulting from the purchase. Deferred taxes are determined on the basis of the tax rate enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax receivables are recognised up to the probable amount of taxable income in the future, against which the temporary difference can be utilised.
Revenue recognition
Work carried out by people is recognised monthly in accordance with progress. Long-term projects with a fixed price are recognised on the basis of their percentage of completion once the outcome of the project can be reliably estimated. The percentage of completion is determined as the proportion of costs arising from work performed for the project up to the date of review in the total estimated project costs. If estimates of the project change, the recognised sales and profit/margin are amended in the period during which the change becomes known and can be estimated for the first time. Any loss expected from a project is recognised as an expense immediately after the matter has been noted. Licensing revenue is recognised in accordance with the factual substance of the agreement. Depending on the nature of the licence, recognition is based on either the installation date, the delivery date, or the degree of completion. Maintenance fees are allocated over the agreement period.
One-off items
Items recorded as one-off items are ones which occur only once or very rarely. These may include business divestments, reorganisations and goodwill write-downs.
Accounting policies requiring consideration by management and crucial factors of uncertainty associated with estimates
Estimates and assumptions regarding the future have to be made during the preparation of the financial statements, and the outcome may differ from the estimates and assumptions. Furthermore, the application of accounting policies requires consideration. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other justifiable assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and that serve as a foundation for evaluating the items included in the financial statements. The estimates mainly concern the following items:
Impairment testing
The Group carries out annual impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets with an unlimited useful life and evaluates any indications of impairment as described above in the accounting policies. Recoverable amounts from cash generating units are determined as calculations based on value in use. The preparation of these calculations requires the use of estimates.
Entry as income
As described in the revenue recognition policies, the revenue and costs of a long-term project are recognised as income and expenses, on the basis of percentage of completion once the outcome of the project can be reliably estimated. Recognition associated with the degree of completion is based on estimates of expected income and expenses of the project and reliable measurement and estimation of project progress. If estimates of the project's outcome change, the recognised sales and profit/margin are amended in the period during which the change becomes known and can be estimated for the first time. Any loss expected from a project is immediately recognised as an expense.
Management of financing risks
Financial risk management consists, for instance, of the planning and monitoring of solvency of liquid assets, the management of investments, receivables and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency, and the management of interest rate risks on non-current interest-bearing liabilities.
In accordance with the company's investment policy, cash and cash equivalents are only invested in low-risk short rate funds and bank deposits. The Group's policy defines creditworthiness requirements for customers in order to minimise the amount of credit losses. A sufficient provision was made for uncertain accounts receivable at the end of the fiscal period.
The most significant currency risks relating to accounts receivable or accounts payable are managed by means of forward foreign exchange contracts, when necessary. At the end of the fiscal year, the company did not have any such forward contracts in force. Interest rate trends are monitored systematically in different bodies within the company, and possible interest rate risks hedges are made with the appropriate instruments. At the end of the fiscal year, the company had no such hedging instruments in force.
Application of new and amended IFRS standards
The IASB has published the following new or amended standards and interpretations that are not yet effective and thus have not yet been applied by the Group. The Group will introduce each standard and interpretation as of its effective date or, if the effective date is some other date than the first day of the fiscal period, as of the beginning of the fiscal period following the effective date.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. IFRS 9 will entirely replace the current IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The Group does not expect the changes to have a significant effect on upcoming consolidated financial statements.
- Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12, IAS 27 and IAS 28 concerning the consolidation of investment entities in financial statements. An exception related to consolidation of investment entities was added to the standards.
- Amendment: IAS 39 Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting: According to the amendment, hedge accounting does not have to stop if the change in the hedging party's counterparty is compulsory due to a change in legislation while other terms of the agreement remain unchanged.
- IFRIC 21 Levies. According to the interpretation, statutory payments are recorded when the event causing the obligation to make the payment takes place in the manner defined by law.
- Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010–2012 and Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011–2013. In the Annual Improvements procedure, all the minor and less urgent changes to the standards are gathered together and carried out once a year. Amendments have been proposed to the following standards. IFRS 1, IFRS 2, IFRS 3, IFRS 8, IFRS 13, IAS 16, IAS 24, IAS 38 and IAS 40. The Group does not expect the changes to have a significant effect on upcoming consolidated financial statements.
- Amendment: Defined Benefit Plans Employee Contributions. This amendment applies to payments of defined benefit pension plans for employees or third parties. The change is not expected to have an effect on the consolidated financial statements.

2. Acquired business operations
Acquired business operationsin 2013
Digia made no business acquisitions during 2013.
Acquired business operations in 2012
On 8 August 2012 the company made a deal to buy Qt software technology and the related business from Nokia Plc. With the acquisition, 88 employees in Norway, Germany and Finland were transferred to the company's employment. The deal became effective on 18 September 2012 and the net acquisition price was EUR 4.0 million, comprising the sale price of EUR 16.2 million related to the assets and business transferred, minus a bill of EUR 12.2 million from Digia to Nokia.
Based on the aforementioned EUR 16.2 million sale price, EUR 6.6 million in goodwill on intangible rights was recorded, of which EUR 2.9 million applied to the brand, EUR 4.1 million to the acquired technology and EUR 1.0 million to the Nokia customer relationship. In line with the Finnish financial reporting standard, the recorded depreciation from goodwill is taxdeductible. Additionally, EUR 0.2 million was recorded as an expense and EUR 1.5 million as a loan repayment related to an expense from 2012 covered as a part of the deal.
The aforementioned bill from Digia to Nokia concerned the granting to Nokia of the right to continue using Qt in its own business, to a three-year competition and transfer restriction applying to the technology acquired by Digia, and to Nokia's fixed-term obligation to provide Digia with services facilitating the takeover of the acquired business, which were valued in total at EUR 12.2 million. Of the total sum, EUR 9.2 million was related to the right of use granted to Nokia and is considered as income for the company. Of this, EUR 3.8 million was allocated to the period under review and the other EUR 5.4 million will be recognised evenly over the next three years.
3. Long-term projects
The reported consolidated net sales include income recognised on long-term projects totalling EUR 14.6 million in 2013 (EUR 11.5 million in 2012). The consolidated income statement included income recognised on incomplete long-term projects totalling EUR 12.7 million on 31 December 2013 (EUR 10.5 million on 31 December 2012).

13. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the earnings before tax for the accounting period attributable to the parent company's shareholders by the weighted average of shares outstanding during the accounting period. Own shares possessed by the company are not included in the calculation of the weighted average of shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share includes consideration of the diluting effect of stock options on the weighted average number of shares. Stock options have a diluting effect if their exercise price is lower than the fair value of the share.

The Group made a EUR 0.4 million writedown related to itemised intangible assets allocated to the fourth quarter. After this, it was found necessary to make a EUR 6.6 million writedown related to the goodwill of domestic operations. The writedown derives from a change in the company's estimate of the long-term profit forecast for its domestic business operations, on which evaluations must be based according to standards.
Present values for domestic operations were calculated for the five-year forecast period based on the following assumptions: consolidated net sales and operating profit for 2014 according to budget; after this, annual growth in net sales of 0.8 per cent and in operating profit of 3.6 per cent, and a pre-tax discount rate of 8.9 per cent.
Present values for the Qt business were calculated for the five-year forecast period based on the following assumptions: consolidated net sales and operating profit for 2014 according to budget; after this, annual growth in net sales of 6.5 per cent and in operating profit of 5.3 per cent, and a pre-tax discount rate of 8.9 per cent.
Post-forecast-period cash flows for both the tested units were extrapolated using the same assumptions as for the forecast period.
According to a completed sensitivity analysis, the goodwill of the Qt business requires either net sales to remain at the current level with profitability of 3.9 per cent, or a 5.0 per cent growth in net sales with profitability of 1.2 per cent.

At the end of the 2013 fiscal year, credit loss provisions totalled EUR 0.01 million (EUR 0.1 million at the end of 2012). The book value of accounts receivable and security deposits for rental dues is a reasonable estimate of their fair value. Their balance sheet values best correspond with the sum of money that represents the maximum amount of credit risks. Essential items included in prepayments and accrued income are associated with the accrual of statutory insurance premiums and other accrued expenses.

The maximum number of shares is 48 million (48 million in 2012). The nominal value of each share is EUR 0.10 and the Group's maximum share capital is EUR 4.8 million (EUR 4.8 million in 2012). All outstanding shares are paid in full. At the end of the fiscal year, the company held 57,372 of its own shares, corresponding to 0.3 per cent of all shares.
The premium fund comprises the amount paid for shares in excess of the nominal value. The 'Other reserves' amount arises from fair valuation of acquired business operations in the consolidated financial statements. The translation differences reserve comprises differences arising from the translation of financial statements of non-Finnish units. The unrestricted invested shareholders' equity reserve comprises investments similar to shareholders' equity and the subscription price of shares when a specific decision is made not to enter it in shareholders' equity.
20. Share-based payments
The Group offers share-based bonuses as part of the key personnel commitment and incentive scheme. The share-based bonus scheme offers the target group an opportunity to receive shares in Digia Plc shares as a reward for the achievement of specified goals set for an earning period. The Board of Directors decides the earning criteria for the scheme and specifies the targets, as well as the maximum remuneration for the earning period for each person belonging to the target group.
On 30 September 2009, the Board of Directors made the following decisions regarding sharebased bonus systems for management and key personnel:
The CEO's share-based incentive scheme covers the earnings periods 2009 and 2010. It entitles the CEO to a maximum bonus equal to the value of 160,000 company shares according to the terms of the scheme, based on the company's EPS. The bonus is payable 50/50 in shares and cash and is made available to the CEO annually after the financial statements are approved.
In a scheme directed at key personnel, a maximum bonus totalling the value of 200,000 shares will be payable as a 50/50 combination of shares and cash. The earnings periods are 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. The bonus will be paid annually, without any disposition restrictions, beginning on 30 January 2010, depending on the fulfilment of certain goals set by the Board and on the condition that the recipient is still employed by the company on the payment date.
On 27 May 2010, the Board of Directors decided on a new share incentive scheme for the CEO and other members of the Group Management Team, as follows:
The scheme comprises four earning periods, which are the calendar years 2010-2013. The earnings principles are the consolidated earnings per share and the growth in consolidated net sales compared to the budget, according to formulae settled separately by the Board.
According to the scheme, rewards totalling a maximum value equivalent to 40,000 shares will be paid for the 2010 earning period, and a maximum value of 200,000 shares will be paid for each of the earning periods from 2011 to 2013. Of the rewards paid, one half will be awarded to the CEO and one half to the other management team members in total. The reward will be paid as a 50/50 combination of shares and cash. The cash portion of the bonus will primarily be used to cover taxes and other comparable costs of the scheme.
The basic details of the schemes are listed in the table below.

* In addition to the bonus payment in shares, a cash bonus is paid to cover the cost of taxes and similar expenses.
The items related to share-based incentive schemes in 2013 are given in the table below. Because the cash portion of the bonus payment is also recorded as a share-based expense, the sums below are gross, i.e. the bonuses include the shares and the equivalent cash sum.

** The amounts include the cash portion (in shares) granted according to the terms of the incentive scheme.
Determination of fair value
The fair value of share-based payments is determined on the day on which the scheme is agreed between the company and the recipient group. As the share-based bonus is paid as a combination of shares and cash, the determination of its fair value is divided into two parts in accordance with the IFRS 2 standard: the part settled in shares and the part settled in cash. The part settled in shares is recognised as shareholders' equity and the part settled in cash as a liability. The fair value of the part settled in cash is revalued on each reporting date until the end of earning period, and thus the fair value of the liability changes in accordance with the price of the Digia share.

On 19 December 2013, Digia revised its three-year loan arrangements, replacing the company's old loan portfolio totalling EUR 15 million. The total sum of the new loan was EUR 25 million, of which the company withdrew EUR 15 million. The loan agreement continued to be financed by Nordea Bank and Pohjola Bank.
The loan covenants related to the company's solvency and liquidity comprised the following key figures: operating profit before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) in relation to net debt, equity ratio and net gearing. The company fulfilled the set loan covenants in 2013. The maximum and minimum values specified in the loan covenants, and the realised figures on 31 December 2013 were:

| Net gearing, max. | 60% | 29% |
During the financial year, the company repaid EUR 3.0 million in loans, reducing its interestbearing liabilities to EUR 15.5 million at the year-end. The loans have floating interest rates tied to Euribor, plus a margin. The average interest rate of the loans in 2013 was 2.2% (2.9% in 2012). The shares of Digia Finland Ltd are pledged as collateral for the loans. On 31 December 2013, the book value of pledged shares was EUR 111.5 million.
Additionally, the company had EUR 0.5 million in re-borrowing of pension contributions at a fixed interest rate of 2.8% at the year-end.

29. Management of financing risks
Digia Plc's internal and external financing and the management of financing risks is concentrated in the finance function of the Group's parent company. The function is responsible for the Group's liquidity, sufficiency of financing, and the management of interest rate and currency risk. The Group is exposed to several financing risks in its normal course of business. The objective of the Group's risk management is to minimise the adverse effects of changes in the financial markets on the Group's earnings. The primary types of financing risks are interest rate risk, credit risk and funding risk. The general principles of risk management are approved by the Board of Directors, and the Group's finance function together with the business segments is responsible for their practical implementation.
Foreign exchange risks
The Group is not significantly exposed to foreign exchange risk in its operations. The Group's key foreign exchange risks involve the US dollar, Swedish krona, Norwegian krone, Russian rouble and Chinese yuan. The financial statements include foreign currency sales receivables of approx. EUR 2.7 million in Swedish kronas, Norwegian US dollars, Russian roubles and Chinese yuan. Foreign currency accounts payable totalled approx. EUR 0.4 million, mainly being in Swedish kronas, Norwegian krones, US dollars, Russian roubles and Chinese yuan. The most significant currency risks relating to accounts receivable and accounts payable can be managed by means of forward foreign exchange contracts when necessary. At the end of the fiscal year 2013, the company had no such forward contract in force.
Interest rate risks
The Group's interest rate risk is primarily associated with a long-term bank loan that has an interest rate linked to Euribor rates. Changes in market interest rates have a direct effect on the Group's future interest payments. During the financial period 2013, the interest rate on the long-term bank loan varied between 2.1% and 2.7% (2.7%–3.2% in 2012). The impact of a +/-1% change in the loan's interest rate is EUR 0.15 million per annum. The Group's money market investments are a source of interest rate risk, but the overall impact of these investments is negligible. Interest rate developments are monitored systematically in different bodies within the company, and possible interest rate hedges will be made with the appropriate instruments.
Credit risks
The Group's customers are mostly well-known Finnish and foreign companies with wellestablished credit, and thus the Group has no significant credit risks. The Group's policy defines creditworthiness requirements for customers, investment transactions and counterparties. Services and products are only sold to companies with a good credit rating. The counterparties in investment transactions are companies with a good credit rating. Credit risks associated with commercial operations are primarily the responsibility of operational units. The parent company's finance function provides customer financing services in a centralised manner and ensures that the principles of the financing policy are observed with regard to terms of payment and collateral required. At the end of the 2013 fiscal year, credit loss provisions totalled EUR 0.01 million (EUR 0.1 million at the end of 2012). The maturity analysis of accounts receivable for 2013 and 2012 is presented in Note 17.
Liquidity risk
The Group aims to continuously estimate and monitor the amount of financing required for business operations in order to maintain sufficient liquid funds for financing operations and repaying loans falling due. The availability and flexibility of financing is ensured by maintaining an unused credit facility and using two major banks for financing. The amount of unused standby credit facility on 31 December 2013 was EUR 4.0 million, and the company has the ability to take out EUR 10 million in new loans. The Group maintains its immediate liquidity with the help of cash management solutions such as Group accounts and credit facilities at banks. Cash and cash equivalents on 31 December 2013 totalled EUR 6.5 million. An agreement-based maturity analysis on discounted equity and interest payments for the reporting periods 2013 and 2012 is presented in Note 22.
Management of the capital structure
The Group's capital management aims at supporting company business by means of optimal management of the capital structure, ensuring normal operating conditions and increasing shareholder value with a view to achieving the best possible profit. At the end of the year, the Group's interest-bearing net liabilities were EUR 10.4 (11.6) million. When calculating gearing, the interest-bearing net liabilities are divided by shareholders' equity. Gearing includes interest-bearing net liabilities less cash and cash equivalents. Interest-bearing liabilities have mainly been used to finance the company's business acquisitions. Net gearing at the year-end 2013 was 29% (28%).
The share of liabilities of total shareholders' equity on 31 December 2013 and 31 December 2012 was as follows:
| € 000 | 2013 | 2012 |
|---|---|---|
| Loans from financial institutions | 16,883 | 19,849 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 6,454 | 8,283 |
| Interest-bearing net liabilities | 10,429 | 11,566 |

Auditor's Report
To the Annual General Meeting of Digia Plc
We have audited the accounting records, the financial statements, the report of the Board of Directors, and the administration of Digia Plc for the year ended 31 December, 2013. The financial statements comprise the consolidated statement of financial position, income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, as well as the parent company's balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and notes to the financial statements.
The responsibility of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, as well as for the preparation of financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors that give a true and fair view in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors in Finland. The Board of Directors is responsible for the appropriate arrangement of the control of the company's accounts and finances, and the Managing Director shall see to it that the accounts of the company are in compliance with the law and that its financial affairs have been arranged in a reliable manner.
Auditor's responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements, on the consolidated financial statements and on the report of the Board of Directors based on our audit. The Auditing Act requires that we comply with the requirements of professional ethics. We conducted our audit in accordance with good auditing practice in Finland. Good auditing practice requires that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors are free from material misstatement, and whether the members of the Board of Directors of the parent company or the Managing Director are guilty of an act or negligence which may result in liability in damages towards the company or have violated the Limited Liability Companies Act or the articles of association of the company.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation of financial statements and report of the Board of Directors that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness

of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion on the consolidated financial statements
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, and cash flows of the group in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU.
Opinion on the company's financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors
In our opinion, the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors give a true and fair view of both the consolidated and the parent company's financial performance and financial position in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors in Finland. The information in the report of the Board of Directors is consistent with the information in the financial statements.
