Market Outlook 2016
The most important factor in the development of Etteplan's business is the global development of the machinery and metal industry. In 2016, there are signs of improvement of European growth. Uncertainty has increased in the Finnish market, and the market situation is expected to remain weaker than in the rest of Europe. In spite of the slowing down of growth in Asian markets and increased uncertainty, the service market development is expected to continue. We expect that the good market situation in North America will continue. The demand for engineering services and technical documentation services got off to a slow start at the beginning of the year.

President and CEO Juha Näkki:
"We achieved good success in the implementation of our strategy in 2015, and our business developed favorably. The share of revenue represented by high value-added Managed Services grew throughout the year, and we approached the target of 50 per cent set for 2016. Growth accelerated towards the end of the year, boosted by acquisitions in line with our growth strategy, and our cash flow was strong. Our EBIT from business operations improved significantly in spite of substantial non-recurring costs. The non-recurring costs were related to business reorganization and acquisitions. In the latter part of the year, we also invested in the development of the Etteplan brand to emphasize the company's strengths better.
As expected, the demand situation became weaker in Finland in the fourth quarter. In Sweden, the demand situation remained good throughout the year, and demand in Central Europe showed positive signs. The uncertainty that afflicted the Chinese market continued throughout the year and slowed down customers' decision-making.
In the area of engineering services, the SAV acquisition increased our revenue in the second half of the year. The integration of SAV into Etteplan has progressed according to plan, and our quotation base in plant engineering is at a record-high level in spite of the weakened market situation in Finland. A significant customer's contract situation, which burdened our revenue earlier in the year, has now been resolved and we expect this to have a positive effect on our growth in 2016. In the Chinese market, uncertainty slowed down the development of our business. Nevertheless, our new Chinese accounts hold significant growth potential and Chinese offshoring as part of our service solutions was at a good level throughout the year.
Technical documentation achieved excellent development throughout the year. Organic growth in the latter three quarters of the year exceeded the Group's growth target of 15 per cent. Profitability developed favorably and in the fourth quarter we exceeded the 10 per cent profitability target set for EBIT from business operations, as in the previous year. We achieved excellent success on the outsourcing front and carried out several outsourcing projects during the year as our customers focused on their core business. The business transfer agreement with arvato completed late in the year strengthened our position in Central Europe and started our business in Germany at the beginning of 2016. We are confident that our strong service offering will provide us with excellent growth opportunities in the German market going forward.
Business in 2016 got off to a slow start particularly in Finland. Nevertheless, the investments we made in 2015, combined with our strong market position and attractive service offering, create an excellent foundation for growth and the improvement of profitability."

Accounting Principles
This financial statement release has been prepared in accordance with the IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting standard. This financial statement release has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting principles as the financial statements for 2014, with the exception of revised standards and interpretations that entered into force in 2015 and apply to the Group. These changes have not had a material effect on the Financial Statement Release.
This financial statement release includes forward-looking estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, outcomes may deviate from these estimates, which are based on the management's best knowledge at the time of financial statement release.
Market review
The entire year 2015 was characterized by the uncertainty of economic development. Growth in global industrial production leveled off gradually in 2015. The leveling off of growth was evident in growth economies in China, South America and Russia. In Western economies, the recovery of demand was cautious and slow.
In the first quarter of 2015, the demand for engineering services and technical documentation services was at a slightly better level than in 2014. There was no change in demand in the second and third quarter of 2015 compared to the beginning of the year, and the year ended with uncertainty in demand increasing, particularly in Finland. However, demand was boosted slightly by favorable developments in European and North American economies. There were significant differences in demand throughout the year, specific to markets and customer industries.
The demand for outsourcing services developed favorably in 2015 in all market areas. Outsourcing offered companies improved efficiency and the opportunity to focus even more on the development of their core business.
In Finland, uncertainty in the development of demand for design engineering and technical documentation services grew in the second half of 2015, and the level of new investment remained low.
In Sweden, the demand situation for design engineering and technical documentation remained good throughout 2015 and even strengthened towards the end of the year. The demand for technical documentation, in particular, remained at a good level. The competitive situation in Sweden continued to be intense.
Demand was low in Russian projects. Some new projects were started, but the few projects that were started were related to the completion of investment projects in commerce and industry.
In the Netherlands, the demand for technical documentation showed steady improvement throughout 2015 after having been weak at the start of the year.
Uncertainty in the Chinese market grew in 2015. Local demand was maintained by service market development. The opening up of the service market and local demand in China are expected to develop favorably in the long term. The currencies of growing markets weakened in summer 2015. This had the effect of slowing down exports in the engineering industry. The development of the Chinese export industry in January-June was affected by exchange rate fluctuations, with manufacturing operations in the engineering industry shifting to Europe for products whose end customers are in Europe.
The demand for engineering services was characterized throughout the year by polarized development among customer industries. Certain areas of the engineering industry developed quite steadily as customer companies successfully sought growth in the economies where demand developed favorably. The trends that maintained good demand for machinery and equipment manufacturers included urbanization, digitization, the aging of the population, as well as energy efficiency and the development of renewable energy. The development of the demand for engineering services was slow among companies that serve raw material production and are dependent on the price of oil.
The demand for engineering services and technical documentation among metal and mining industry equipment manufacturers was at a low level on average in 2015. The demand for engineering services among lifting and hoisting equipment manufacturers remained at a good level on average. The demand for engineering services in the energy and power transmission industry remained at a good level. The

Etteplan
demand for design engineering services among forest industry equipment manufacturers was at a good level but weakened somewhat late in the year. In Sweden, the demand for engineering services in the aerospace and defense industry was at a good level, while in Finland demand improved slightly towards the end of the year after having been at a low level earlier in 2015. In the transportation and vehicle industry, testing and analysis services requiring special expertise continued to see good demand.
Revenue
Etteplan's revenue grew by 7.0 per cent in January-December and was EUR 141.1 million (1-12/2014: EUR 131.9 million). Organic growth was 3.4 per cent. Revenue increased by 7.4 per cent at comparable exchange rates.
In October-December, revenue increased by 14.2 per cent and was EUR 40.4 million (10-12/2014: EUR 35.4 million). Organic growth was 4.2 per cent. Revenue increased by 14.0 per cent at comparable exchange rates. The acquisition of the business of SAV Oy and its subsidiaries at the end of August contributed to the growth in revenue.
Etteplan's business is subject to periodic fluctuation. The periodic fluctuation is affected by holiday seasons and the timing of product development and investment projects in customer companies, mainly at the beginning of the year as well as in the fall. The revenue in the third quarter is typically lower than that of other quarters.
Result
EBIT from business operations improved by 29.0 per cent in January-December and was EUR 9.5 million (1-12/2014: EUR 7.4 million). EBIT from business operations includes non-recurring costs totaling EUR 1.0 million. The non-recurring costs include costs associated with acquisitions as well as restructuring measures related to the weakened workload in some of Etteplan's units. The operative EBIT margin was 6.8 per cent (1-12/2014: 5.6 per cent). The improvement in profitability was attributable to high value-added Managed Services representing a larger share of revenue than in the comparison period.
EBIT from business operations in October-December amounted to EUR 2.9 million (10-12/2014: EUR 2.7 million), including EUR 0.4 million in non-recurring costs. The non-recurring costs were caused by acquisitions and restructuring measures, among other things.
The company began to report EBIT from business operations from the start of 2015. EBIT from business operations does not include acquisition-related items, such as amortization on PPA allocations and earn out revaluations. The new indicator reflects operational performance better.
In January-December, operating profit (EBIT) improved by 9.4 per cent and amounted to EUR 8.6 million (1-12/2014: EUR 7.9 million). EBIT includes non-recurring costs totaling EUR 1.0 million. The comparison period 1-12/2014 included exceptional items which had a total positive effect of EUR 0.8 million. Operating profit was improved by revenue growth and high value-added services representing a higher share of revenue. The operational costs increased by 5.5 per cent. The operating profit margin improved to 6.1 per cent (1-12/2014: 6.0 per cent).
In October-December, operating profit (EBIT) was EUR 2.6 million (10-12/2014: EUR 2.7 million), or 6.4 per cent (10-12/2014: 7.6 per cent) of revenue. EBIT includes EUR 0.4 million in non-recurring costs. The comparison period 10-12/2014 included exceptional items which had a total positive effect of EUR 0.2 million.
Financial expenses were EUR 1.3 million in January-December (1-12/2014: EUR 1.1 million).
Profit before taxes for January-December was EUR 7.9 million (1-12/2014: EUR 7.2 million). Taxes in the income statement amounted to 22.0 per cent (1-12/2014: 14.2 per cent) of the result before taxes. The amount of taxes was EUR 1.7 million (1-12/2014: EUR 1.0 million). Taxes in the comparison period were affected by tax-free items.
The profit for January-December was EUR 6.2 million (1-12/2014: EUR 6.1 million).

In January-December, earnings per share were EUR 0.31 (1-12/2014: EUR 0.30). Equity per share was EUR 1.73 (1-12/2014: EUR 1.45). Return on capital employed (ROCE) before taxes was 17.4 per cent (1-12/2014: 17.8 per cent).
Financial position and cash flow
Total assets on December 31, 2015 were EUR 92.5 million (December 31, 2014: EUR 75.5 million). The balance sheet total grew primarily due to acquisitions. Goodwill on the balance sheet was EUR 42.7 million (December 31, 2014: EUR 38.6 million).
The Group's cash and cash equivalents stood at EUR 8.8 million (December 31, 2014: EUR 2.6 million). The Group's financial liabilities amounted to EUR 23.2 million (December 31, 2014: EUR 18.8 million). The total of unused short-term credit facilities stood at EUR 9.1 million (December 31, 2014: EUR 8.3 million).
The equity ratio at the end of December was 37.8 per cent (December 31, 2014: 39.5 per cent). Operating cash flow improved and was EUR 9.9 million in January-December (1-12/2014: EUR 7.8 million). The improvement in cash flow was attributable to an increase in EBIT from business operations. Cash flow after investments was EUR 6.4 million (1-12/2014: EUR 5.6 million). Cash flow accrues unevenly over the four quarters of the year due to seasonality in business.
Capital Expenditures
The Group's gross investments in January-December were EUR 9.9 million (1-12/2014: EUR 3.6 million). Investments comprised, among other things, acquisitions and license fees for engineering software.
Personnel
The average number of personnel increased in January-December by 7.4 per cent from the previous year. The Group employed 1,948 (1-12/2014: 1,813) people on average during the year and 2,074 (December 31, 2014: 1,859) at the end of December. The growth in the number of personnel was attributable to acquisitions and organic growth. At the end of December, 706 people (December 31, 2014: 709) were employed by the Group abroad.
Business Review
The development of Etteplan's business was stable in 2015 in spite of market uncertainty. Measured in local currencies, business grew in all of Etteplan's markets except China. The growth was attributable to Etteplan's strong market position, good service portfolio and acquisitions. Etteplan's excellent service portfolio enabled it to achieve growth even in low-growth industries such as mining industry equipment manufacturing. The rate of revenue growth was 7.0 per cent. In line with the company's target, key accounts grew faster than other revenue throughout 2015, with the growth rate for key accounts being 7.5 per cent. In October-December, revenue growth was 14.2 per cent while the rate of growth in key accounts was 9.8 per cent. The increase in revenue in the fourth quarter was attributable to an acquisition and the subsequent significant increase in the share of revenue represented by plant engineering.
The share of revenue represented by high value-added services grew in line with the company's targets and stood at 47 per cent in 2015 (1-12/2014: 41 per cent). In October-December, high value-added services accounted for 48 per cent of revenue (10-12/2014: 44 per cent).
Etteplan's market position in Finland remained strong. The number of temporarily laid off personnel decreased steadily in the first three quarters of 2015 but turned to an increase in the fourth quarter, amounting to approximately 60 employees. In Sweden, business developed favorably in the good market situation. However, attrition and the competition for experts burdened the business in Sweden. The development of business in the Netherlands was stable, and demand improved towards the end of the year. The number of working hours sold in the Chinese market in January-December decreased by 7.2 per cent compared to the previous year. In October-December, the year-on-year decline was 14.1 per cent. Temporarily weaker demand for machinery and equipment by Western customers was a
5 (23)
Etteplan
factor in the decline. Nevertheless, Etteplan's new Chinese accounts won in 2015 hold significant growth potential. Chinese offshoring as part of Etteplan's service solutions was at a good level in January-December. In Europe, Etteplan gained market share on the strength of its cost-efficient offshoring operating model.
Etteplan grew in 2015 in line with its targets, both organically and through acquisitions. The company completed several acquisitions in 2015.
The agreement signed in June by Etteplan and the Dutch company Thesus Talking Image entered into force during the review period, and five Thesus Ti employees and the company's business operations were transferred to Etteplan on July 1, 2015. Thesus Talking Image specializes in advanced visual instructions and high-quality technical illustrations.
Etteplan strengthened its position in plant engineering by acquiring Suunnittelu ja Asennusten Valvonta - SAV Oy and its subsidiaries in August. SAV Oy's business and subsidiaries were transferred to Etteplan on September 1, 2015. Founded in 1993, SAV Oy offers plant engineering and project services to industry. The acquired companies have a total of approximately 185 employees.
Etteplan strengthened its position as a technical documentation service provider in the Central European market and started business operations in Germany by concluding a business transfer agreement with arvato AG, a Bertelsmann Group company. The acquired business includes technical documentation services in Germany and the Netherlands. The companies' business and personnel were transferred to Etteplan on January 1, 2016. Etteplan and arvato AG agreed on strategic cooperation as part of the transaction.

Governance
Annual General Meeting
The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of Etteplan Oyj (the "Company") was held on March 27, 2015, at the premises of the Company in Vantaa. In accordance with the proposal of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors, the Annual General Meeting re-elected Robert Ingman, Patrick von Essen, Pertti Nupponen, Teuvo Rintamäki and Leena Saarinen as members of the Board of Directors and elected Matti Huttunen as a new member to the Board of Directors.
The Annual General Meeting approved the financial statements and discharged the members of the Board of Directors and the President and CEO from liability for the financial year 2014.
PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy, Authorized Public Accounting Firm, with Authorized Public Accountant Kaj Wasenius as the main responsible auditor and Certified Auditor Olli Wesamaa were elected as the
Etteplan
Company's auditors. The auditors' fees were resolved to be paid according to invoice approved by the Company.
The Annual General Meeting authorized the Board of Directors to resolve on the repurchase of the Company's own shares in one or more tranches using the Company's unrestricted equity. A maximum of 2,000,000 shares in the Company may be repurchased. The Company may deviate from the obligation to repurchase shares in proportion to the shareholders' current holdings, i.e., the Board has the right to decide on a directed repurchase of the Company's own shares.
The authorization includes the right for the Board to resolve on the repurchase of the Company's own shares through a tender offer made to all shareholders on equal terms and conditions and at the price determined by the Board, or in public trading organized by the Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd at the market price valid at any given time, so that the Company's total holding of own shares does not exceed ten (10) per cent of all the shares in the Company. The minimum price for the shares to be repurchased is the lowest market price quoted for the shares in the Company in public trading and, correspondingly, the maximum price is the highest market price quoted for the shares in the Company in public trading during the validity of the authorization.
Should the shares in the Company be repurchased in public trading, such shares will not be purchased in proportion to the shareholders' current holdings. In that case there must be a weighty financial reason for the Company to repurchase its own shares. The shares may be repurchased in order to be used as consideration in potential acquisitions or in other structural arrangements. The shares may as well be used for carrying out Company's incentive schemes for its personnel. The repurchased shares may be retained by the Company, invalidated or transferred further.
The repurchase of the Company's own shares will reduce the non-restricted equity of the Company.
The authorization is valid for 18 months from the date of the resolution of the Annual General Meeting starting on March 27, 2015 and ending on September 26, 2016. The authorization will replace the corresponding previous authorization.
Dividend
The Annual General Meeting on March 27, 2015 passed a resolution, in accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors, that a dividend of EUR 0.15 per share be paid for the financial year 2014 and the remaining funds shall be left to the unrestricted equity. The dividend was paid to the shareholders registered on the record date in the shareholders' register maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd. The record date of the payment of dividend was March 31, 2015. The dividend was paid on April 9, 2015.
Shares

Share-based incentive plans
The Board of Directors of Etteplan Oyj decided on February 12, 2014 on a new share-based incentive plan for the Company's President and CEO. The new Restricted Stock Plan includes one three year vesting period. The potential reward of the Plan is bound to the validity of the CEO's service. The reward from the vesting period will be paid partly in the Company's shares and partly in cash in February 2017. The reward to be paid on the basis of the Restricted Stock Plan 2014 will amount up to a maximum total of 25,000 Etteplan Oyj shares. In addition, the Company will pay taxes and tax-related costs arising from the reward to the CEO.
The Board of Directors of Etteplan Oyj decided on June 3, 2014 to establish a new share-based incentive plan for the Group key personnel. The Plan includes one earning period which includes calendar years 2014, 2015 and 2016. The earnings criteria are Etteplan Group's revenue increase and the development of Total Shareholder Return (TSR). Approximately 15 people belong to the target group of the Plan. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the plan will correspond to the value of an approximate maximum total of 450,000 Etteplan Oyj shares (including also the proportion to be paid in cash).
The shares to be paid out as potential rewards will be transferred from the shares held by the Company or shares acquired from the market.
Operating risks and uncertainty factors
Etteplan's financial results are exposed to a number of strategic, operational and financial risks.
Etteplan's risk management review will be included in the 2015 Annual Report, which will be published in week 10/2016.
Operating risks and uncertainty factors in the review period
The uncertainty caused by the general economic development continued in 2015. The demand for engineering services and technical documentation remained at a relatively good level on average in the review period.
The Company's operations are based on skilled staff. The availability of competent professionals is an important factor for ensuring profitable growth and operations. In 2015, increased difficulties in recruiting professional staff in Sweden continued to present a business risk.
Estimate of operating risks and uncertainty factors in the near future
The uncertainty caused by the general economic development continues to be a risk for Etteplan's business. In particular, the uncertain political development in Europe and the resulting economic risks, as well as uncertainty in the Chinese market, is expected to continue. The possibility of changes in customers' business operations is a significant risk to Etteplan's operations.
The Company's operations are based on skilled staff. The availability of competent professionals is an important factor for ensuring profitable growth and operations. The availability of personnel in Sweden continues to present a business risk.
Risks related to business operations are still at a significant level, but they are not estimated to grow.
Change in financial targets
On October 29, 2015, the company announced that it had revised its financial targets by making a change to its operating profit target of 10 per cent. The new target is EBIT from business operations of 10 per cent. EBIT from business operations does not include acquisition-related items such as amortization on PPA allocations and earn out revaluations.

Market Outlook 2016
The most important factor in the development of Etteplan’s business is the global development of the machinery and metal industry. In 2016, there are signs of improvement of European growth. Uncertainty has increased in the Finnish market, and the market situation is expected to remain weaker than in the rest of Europe. In spite of the slowing down of growth in Asian markets and increased uncertainty, the service market development is expected to continue. We expect that the good market situation in North America will continue. The demand for engineering services and technical documentation services got off to a slow start at the beginning of the year.
Financial Guidance 2016
We expect the revenue and operating profit for the year 2016 to grow clearly compared to 2015.
The Board’s proposal for distribution of 2015 profits
The parent company’s distributable shareholders’ equity according to the balance sheet on December 31, 2015, is EUR 16,879,472.70. The Board of Directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting, which will convene on April 5, 2016, that on the dividend payout date a dividend of EUR 0.15 per share be paid on the company’s externally owned shares, for a total amount of EUR 3,099,833.85 at most, and that the remaining profit be transferred to retained earnings. It is the Board’s opinion that the proposed distribution of dividends will not endanger the company’s solvency. In accordance with the Board’s proposal, the record date for the dividend payout is April 7, 2016, and the date of dividend payout is April 14, 2016.
