Innofactor Plc Financial Statement 2015 (IFRS)

Summary

Quarter 10–12/2015:

  • Growth of net sales was 2.9%, which we estimate to exceed the market growth.
  • Operating margin (EBITDA) was on a good level, 13.8% of the net sales.
  • Innofactor received several significant orders, which improved the order book.
  • In December 2015, Innofactor signed a deal on acquiring the Swedish company Cinteros AB (net sales in 2015 approximately EUR 11 million, over 100 employees), which strengthens significantly Innofactor’s Nordic growth strategy.
  • We think, based on the last quarter, that Innofactor has good prerequisites for growing its business operations profitably in 2016 in accordance with its strategy.

Year 1–12/2015:

  • Growth of net sales was 1.4%, which we estimate to only slightly exceed the market growth.
  • Operating margin (EBITDA) was 8.3% of the net sales, which is slightly less than last year and did not reach the goal.
  • The figures of 2015 were affected essentially by costs related to reorganizations, write-offs for periods preceding the financial period and related to individual customers and projects, and project assessment errors found in September 2015 in connection with terminating the employment of the Country Manager in Denmark.

Reporting

Innofactor operates on a single segment, offering software, systems and related services.

CEO Sami Ensio's review

In the last quarter of 2015, Innofactor continued profitable growth in accordance with its strategy. The growth of net sales was 2.9 percent (net sales EUR 12.6 million) and operating margin (EBITDA) was EUR 1.7 million (13.8 percent of the net sales).

The year 2015 posed some challenges to Innofactor's business operations. We could not reach the business operation goals we had set for 2015. For the entire year 2015, the growth of net sales was 1.4 percent and operating margin (EBITDA) was 8.3 percent of the net sales. The situation was affected essentially by costs related to reorganizations, write-offs for periods preceding the financial period and related to individual customers and projects, and project assessment errors found in September 2015 in connection with terminating the employment of the Country Manager in Denmark.

Despite these challenges, we were able to improve our profitability significantly on the second half of 2015 when the relative operating margin (EBITDA) was almost double that of the first half of the year (11.4 percent of the net sales). During the last quarter, Innofactor's order book grew significantly. For example, we got a project for delivering a Microsoft Dynamics NAV-based textile business solution for a Finnish textile manufacturer, valued at approximately EUR 0.5 million, and the project for delivering an electronic services, case management and CRM system for the Population Register Centre, valued at approximately EUR 0.85 million.

Innofactor continued its expansion in the Nordic Countries in December 2015 by signing an agreement for acquiring the entire share capital of the Swedish company Cinteros AB from the company's management. The acquisition was completed in January 8, 2016. The acquisition gave Innofactor a significant share in the Swedish IT market, offering based on the leading Microsoft Dynamics CRM product, strong customer base, and over 100 very skillful employees in Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö. Cinteros' net sales in 2015 were approximately EUR 11 million (approximately SEK 100 million) and operating margin (EBITDA) approximately 9%. Soon after the acquisition was published, at the end of December, Cinteros announced a significant deal with one of the Sweden's largest trade unions, valued at approximately EUR 1.6 million. It has been great to see how cooperation and integration have started. We have already started the first customer project in Sweden that also utilizes Innofactor consultants from Finland and Denmark.

After the challenges of 2015, we think that Innofactor has good prerequisites for growing its business operations profitably in 2016 in accordance with its strategy.

Innofactor will continue to actively seek for potential new strategic partnerships in the Nordic Countries. The Group's goal is to grow both organically and through acquisitions.

Market outlook and business environment

Main forces affecting the markets are the transfer of software into the cloud, increased significance of social media, mobile devices and Internet of Things, data analytics and machine learning, and data security and protection. A clear change in the purchase habits of customers has been observed as these business changes are taking place. The customers expect the IT provider to focus more on business benefits instead of technology benefits. The customers want the providers to have solutions that are ready for use without a need to make changes, and they want to be able to buy more continuous services instead of large one-off projects.

Innofactor estimates that the IT service market in the Nordic Countries grew by approximately 1–2% in 2015. In Finland, the growth was slower than in the other Nordic Countries. Innofactor estimates that the IT service market in the Nordic Countries in 2016 will gain some speed and reach the level of approximately 2–3%. The estimate is based on research institutes' forecasts and Innofactor's own outlook on markets.

As concerns Microsoft-based solutions, competition in the Nordic Countries is divided between different kinds of parties. The first group is formed by large companies that operate in all of the Nordic Countries. Typically, these companies offer a wide range of IT solutions for companies and organizations, using several competing technologies of which Microsoft technology is one option. The second group is formed by companies that focus on a narrower solution area in the Nordic level. These companies also offer IT solutions for companies and organizations using several competing technologies of which Microsoft technology is typically just one option. The third group is formed by companies operating in just one country. These small or medium-sized companies often focus on one solution area, client and/or field.

Innofactor has made a strategic choice by focusing on solutions implemented with and utilizing the Microsoft platforms and by selecting as its solution areas the ones in which Microsoft's growth and offering, and thus its partners' and ecosystem's growth, has exceeded the general average growth of IT service and software markets many times over. Innofactor is primarily focused on Nordic large and medium-sized companies and government organizations, which have high standards in their IT solution acquisitions. Innofactor develops solutions, products and services suitable for this group by itself and in cooperation with its partners. Innofactor's strategy supports well the change in the markets. Innofactor believes it can gain market share from its competitors and utilize possible IT market growth in the future.

Microsoft's partner network in the Nordic Countries, and also elsewhere in Europe, is quite fragmented and mainly consists of a large number of small and medium-sized local providers. For Innofactor, this provides interesting potential for consolidation and globalization. Innofactor's good reputation concerning the Microsoft ecosystem, unique proofs of rapid and profitable growth and successful acquisitions together with business culture with entrepreneurial spirit make Innofactor a very attractive partner when making reorganizations in the field in the Nordic Countries.

management. According to the agreement published by the company on December 13, 2013, the purchase price was defined based on Enabling Group's realized EBITDA in 2014. The final purchase price was approximately EUR 3.8 million, of which approximately EUR 2.2 million was paid in June 2015. Out of this sum, approximately EUR 1.7 was paid in cash and approximately EUR 0.5 million in company shares. Based on the authorization granted by the General Meeting, Innofactor's Board of Directors decided on a directed share issue of new shares in connection with the adjustment payment of the deal. In the directed issue, Innofactor issued 500,000 new shares. The new 500,000 shares of Innofactor Plc were registered in the Trade Register on June 1, 2015. After the registrations, the total number of Innofactor Plc shares is 32,653,737. The trading of the new shares in the Helsinki Stock Exchange (NASDAQ OMX) started in June 2015. The shares are subject to transfer restrictions, which will be gradually released by 2017.

On June 30, 2015, Innofactor announced in a stock exchange release that the Board of Directors of Innofactor Plc has decided on a new share-based incentive plan for all Innofactor group's personnel ("Personnel Issue") in order to commit the personnel to the company and its goals. In the Personnel Issue, a maximum total of 800,000 new shares ("Personnel Shares") of the company will be issued to the Innofactor group personnel, deviating from the shareholders' pre-emptive subscription rights. At the time of the decision on June 29, 2015, Innofactor Plc has a total of 32,653,737 shares outstanding. If all the offered Personnel Shares were subscribed for in the Personnel Issue, the number of shares outstanding would increase to a maximum of 33,453,737 shares, out of which a maximum of 800,000 Personnel Shares would account for a maximum of 2.39 percent of the total post-issue number of shares and votes. The purpose of the directed Personnel Issue is to increase the personnel's commitment to the Company, and therefore a weighty financial reason as per the Finnish Companies Act exists for waiving the pre-emptive rights of shareholders. The subscription price for the Personnel Shares will be based on the weighted average price for the Innofactor Plc shares in public trading during the month following the publishing of the next interim report of Innofactor Plc, July 21–August 20, 2015, the subscription price for the Personnel Shares being approximately 10% lower than the weighted average share price in the said period. The subscription price in total will be recognized as an increase in the company's fund for invested unrestricted equity. Innofactor will grant a loan for its personnel to cover the subscription price. The loan term will be 10 years. The loan will be granted as part of the distributable funds of the company. The interest rate of the loan will be the 12 month Euribor rate at the time of the subscription period and will be adjusted annually. The loan repayments and interests will be deducted from the employees' monthly net salaries. The subscription of the Personnel Shares and the loans will take place during September 7–September 11, 2015. The trading with the issued Personnel Shares on the Helsinki Stock Exchange (NASDAQ OMX) is estimated to start on October 1, 2015. However, the Personnel Shares are subject to a sale and transfer restriction for 12 months starting from the date of the registration of the new shares subscribed in the Personnel issue in the Trade Register. The Company will publish the final results of the Personnel Issue as a stock exchange release on around September 30, 2015.

Treasury shares

The General Meeting of March 24, 2015, authorized the Board of Directors to decide on acquiring of a maximum of 8,000,000 treasury shares in one or several parts with the company's unrestricted equity. The authorization entitles the Board to deviate from the shareholders' proportional shareholdings (directed acquisition). Treasury shares may be acquired at the purchase price formed for them in public trading at the day of purchase or at another market price. The number of treasury shares at a time may be, at the maximum, one tenth of the total number of shares in the company. Shares may be purchased to be used in company acquisitions or implementing other arrangements relating to the company's business operations, improving the company's capital or financing structure, as a part of the company's incentive system, or otherwise to be handed over or voided. In connection with the share repurchase, ordinary derivative, stock lending and other agreements may be made in the market in accordance with the laws and regulations. The authorization includes the right of the Board of Directors to decide on all other matters related to the acquisition of shares. The authorization will be valid until June 30, 2016. This authorization replaces the Board's earlier authorizations concerning share repurchase. On the basis of the authorization, Innofactor Plc purchased a total of 413,638 of its own shares during the review period. After the purchases made during the review period, the authorization remains valid for 7,586,362 shares.

Innofactor Plc's entire Corporate Governance and statements are available on the company's web site at: http://www.innofactor.com/investors/corporate_governance

Short term risks and uncertainty factors

Innofactor's operations, finances and shares involve risks that may be significant for the company and its share value. These risks are assessed by the Board of Directors four times a year as part of the strategy and business planning process. The risks are published in their entirety in the financial statement and in the Annual Report of the Board of Directors. The interim reports only present the changes in short-term risks.

Risks related to operations

The risks related to the operation of the Innofactor Group are primarily business risks related to its subsidiaries that carry on its business operations.

Skilled personnel and its availability: The development of Innofactor's operations and deliveries depend greatly on the Group having skilled personnel and being able to replace persons, who are leaving, with proper resources. In Innofactor's field of business, there is a lack of and competition for certain personnel resources. If Innofactor fails at motivating its personnel, keeping the personnel's skills on a high level and keeping the personnel in its service, that could cause problems for the Group's business operations. The success of the Group depends heavily on the employed key personnel and their success in their work. Innofactor invests in continuous development of its personnel and in keeping the personnel satisfaction high.

Increase in personnel costs: The main part of Innofactor's costs consists of salaries and other personnel costs (in 2015, about 69% of the net sales). Currently, all of Innofactor's own employees work in the Nordic Countries, whereas some competitors rely heavily on workforce in countries with cheap labor. If the personnel costs continue rising in the Nordic Countries at the same rate as

before, it will create a risk for Innofactor, if the prices paid for IT services will not rise correspondingly. Innofactor is monitoring the situation constantly and aims at increasing the share of work done by subcontractors and abroad, when it makes sense from the point of view of business operations, for example, in large product development projects.

Profitability of projects: A large part of Innofactor's net sales comes from project business. Profitable implementation of Innofactor's delivery projects requires that project calculation and planning before submitting a tender are done successfully as regards the amount of work and the delivery schedule, and also that the deliveries can be made in a cost-effective manner. It is possible that Innofactor fails at correctly estimating the profitability of a project and, thus, the delivery could cause losses to the company. Correspondingly, it is possible that projects may have to be sold cheaper because of competition, which leads to lower profit margins. Innofactor pays special attention to the profitability of project business.

Competition: Innofactor's main competitors are companies offering traditional information technology services and software in the Nordic Countries. Some competitors have larger financial resources, wider product selection, cheaper workforce and larger existing customer base than Innofactor does, and they can use these when competing with Innofactor for the same deliveries. The price competition on the field is expected to remain tough. If the competition becomes tougher, it may have an adverse effect on Innofactor's business, operating result and financial position. Innofactor continuously strives to improve its competitiveness.

Research and product development: In Innofactor's operation, research and product development play a central role. In 2015, about 5.6% of the net sales was used for it. Each research and product development project carries the risk that the end results are not as successful financially as planned and that the investment in the project does not pay itself back. In organizing its operations, Innofactor aims at minimizing the risks inherent in research and product development.

Changes in the technology and field of business: Fast technological development is characteristic for Innofactor's field of business. There can be quick changes in the customers' requirements and choices concerning software technology. Important changes under way include, for example, the transfer of software into cloud technologies, digitalization, and Internet of Things (IoT). If Innofactor cannot react to these changes, it may have an adverse effect on Innofactor's business, operating result and financial position. Innofactor strives to actively invest in new technologies and central areas of know-how.

Reaching the growth goals: Realizing the desired organic growth requires a growth rate that is clearly faster than the growth in the IT market in general. This creates a risk that it cannot be realized in the future, although it has been done before. It is possible that the IT market in Innofactor's market area will not grow or may even shrink in 2016. Ensuring growth has a central part in planning Innofactor's operations and setting its goals. Innofactor strives to lessen this operational risk by focusing on the growing Microsoft solution areas, which grow faster than the IT

market in general, and by focusing on sales to keep the order book on a sufficient level as regards the business operations.

Globalization: In accordance with its strategy, Innofactor is seeking for more growth also in the global markets, especially in the Nordic Countries. Global operations typically always involve higher risks than operation at home. Innofactor strives to make sure that the investments in becoming a global player will not be so great that it would jeopardize the Group's ability to make profit and to grow. Additionally, the company strives to create a management model, common processes and information systems supporting these that will decrease the risks in global operations.

Uncertainties related to acquisitions: The growth estimates are partly based on acquisitions. With acquisitions, there are uncertainties about finding suitable companies to acquire and in making the acquisitions at the desired price level and schedule. If acquisitions cannot be made as planned, the growth goal may be jeopardized. In acquisitions, Innofactor focuses on high-level know-how and good processes.

Risks related to acquisitions: Each acquisition, after it has been made, carries some risks, which include the success of the integration, formation of the business value, and possible related needs for depreciations. Innofactor's strategy is primarily based on integrating the acquired companies in a fast schedule as part of the whole in the country in question. Innofactor invests in the integration process.

Success of the organizational changes: Rapid growth may occasionally require making significant changes in the organization. Starting a new organization typically includes challenges before the desired improvement in operation can be achieved. Typically, the operation can be at least restored to the previous level of efficiency within a few months from starting the new organization. If the improvement in operation for some parts does not take place within the planned schedule, there is a risk that it will not happen at all or that the delay may lead to extra costs. The reasons for this include, for example, incorrect planning in placing units and personnel. Innofactor strives to pay attention to controlling organization changes and to prepare for them also financially.

Financial risks

General financial uncertainty and changes in the customers' financial situations affect customers' investment decisions and purchasing policies. It is possible that the general financial uncertainty will be reflected in Innofactor's customers' software purchases by delaying the decision-making or timing of purchases.

Financing risks: In its normal business operations, the Innofactor Group is susceptible to normal financing risks. In June 2013, Innofactor took a loan package totaling EUR 12.5 million in order to purchase the share capital of at Business Oy and to rearrange an old loan of about EUR 1.0 million,

related to the acquisition in Denmark in 2012. This increased Innofactor’s financing risks compared to previous years. At the end of 2015, a total of EUR 7.2 million of this loan remains unpaid. In total at the end of 2015, Innofactor had EUR 9.2 million in interest bearing debts and also EUR 3.2 million in the hybrid bond. Additionally, in January 2016, Innofactor took a bank loan package totaling approximately EUR 4.1 million for the Cinteros AB acquisition. In total, Innofactor’s financing risk is estimated to be lower than in 2014 due to the improved cash flow and redeeming the hybrid bond on February 29, 2016.

Innofactor has committed itself to the following covenants: equity ratio calculated every 6 months is at least 40% on December 31, 2015, and on every 6-month check point after that. Additionally, interest bearing liabilities calculated every 6 months divided by the 12-month operating margin (EBITDA), including the pro forma effect of acquisitions, is a maximum of 2.5 in the review point of December 31, 2015, and a maximum of 3.0 in two review periods (June 30, 2016, and December 31, 2016), and a maximum of 2.5 in the review point of June 30, 2017, and on each 6-month review period after that. The goal of managing the financing risks is to minimize the negative effects of the changes in the financial markets to the result of the Group. Risk management has been centralized to the CFO, who is responsible for the Group's financing and regularly reports to the company's Executive Board, CEO, and Board of Directors. It is possible that, in the future, the Group will not get the financing it needs and this will have a negative effect on the Group's business and its development, especially on making acquisitions.

Interest risk: Interest risks are mainly due to the Group’s short-term and long-term loans and the derivatives used for protecting them. Loans with fluctuating rates pose an interest risk to the Group’s cash flow. This risk is decreased, for example, by using interest rate swap agreements.

Exchange rate risk: Innofactor group operates internationally and is susceptible to risks related to the currencies of the countries in which it operates. Changes in exchange rates, especially the rate of Swedish krona, affect the Group’s net sales and profitability. After the Cinteros acquisition, Innofactor has significant business operations based on Swedish krona. Cinteros’ net sales in the closed financial period of 2015 is estimated to be approximately SEK 100 million (approximately EUR 11 million) and operating margin (EBITDA) approximately 9%. The exchange rate risk is mainly due to the assets and liabilities registered in the balance sheet, the net investments made in the subsidiaries abroad and the potential additional purchase price payments related to M&A agreements. Also the business contracts made by subsidiaries pose an exchange rate risk, although these contracts are mainly made in the currency the unit uses in its operation. The management of exchange rate risks in the Group aims at minimizing the uncertainty that changes in exchange rates cause in the result through cash flows and assessment of receivables and liabilities.

Risks related to the cash position: The Innofactor Group handles management of liquid assets with the help of centralized payments and cash management. The Group strives for continuous monitoring and assessment of the needed business financing in order to ensure that the Group has enough liquid assets in its use. Additionally, the Group's subsidiaries have in their use checking

accounts with an overdraft limit of about EUR 3.2 million in total in order to cover any seasonal variations in liquid assets. Excess cash balance is placed on savings accounts or funds with capital guarantee.

Risks related to receivables from projects: A large part of Innofactor's net sales comes from project business. A significant part of projects consists of long-term projects in which scheduled payments and their terms are typically agreed on with the customer beforehand. When Innofactor performs work in customer projects, which is scheduled to be invoiced afterwards, project receivables are accrued. Especially in public administration projects, scheduled payments often take place nearer to the end of the project, which means increased project receivables and related risks. In customer negotiations, Innofactor pays special attention to scheduling the payments and the size of payments, and in customer projects, to project management and steering in accordance with the scheduled payments. Project receivables are monitored regularly.

Credit risk: Credit decisions related to sales receivables are monitored centrally by the Group's management. Large part of Innofactor's cash flow comes through established customer relationships as payments from the public sector and financially sound companies, which have not presented essential credit risks in the past, and the Group has not suffered any significant credit losses. Should credit risks realize, it would weaken the Group's financial standing and liquidity. Sales receivables are monitored regularly.

Risks related to deferred tax assets: Innofactor's balance sheet includes a significant amount of deferred tax assets that are based on previous financial periods. Should the company's profitability decrease significantly in the long run, it is possible that the Group would not be able to utilize in full the receivables currently activated in the balance sheet.

Risks related to shares

The number of Innofactor Plc shares traded on January 1–December 31, 2015, increased by 10.4% compared to the same period in the previous year. In 2015, share trading was 21.8% of the share capital. In the Helsinki stock exchange, companies' average trade in 2015 was 70.2% of the share capital. Lower than average share trading may result in a liquidity risk for the share and its price formation. Innofactor strives to improve the liquidity of the share and decrease the related liquidity risk by its strategy of increasing the value for the shareowners and by its active investor communications.

Acquisitions and changes in the group structure

On December 22, 2015, Innofactor announced in a stock exchange release that Innofactor will acquire the entire share capital of the Swedish company Cinteros AB from the company's management. Cinteros is one of Sweden's leading IT service companies focused on offering Microsoft Dynamics CRM-based solutions. The company has over 100 employees. The acquisition follows Innofactor's growth strategy and strengthens Innofactor's position as one of the leading IT service providers focused on the Microsoft ecosystem in the Nordic Countries. Cinteros' net sales in the last audited financial period (January 1–December 31, 2014) was approximately EUR 7.9 million (approximately SEK 73 million), which shows an increase of 43% from 2013. The operating margin (EBITDA) was approximately EUR 0.7 million (approximately SEK 6.9 million), which was approximately 9% of the net sales. The net sales for the financial period of 2015 were estimated to be approximately EUR 11 million (approximately SEK 100 million) and operating margin (EBITDA) approximately 9%. The company has over 100 employees in Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö. Cinteros and its financial figures will be consolidated into the Innofactor Group as of January 1, 2016.

The purchase price will be determined by Cinteros' realized operating margin (EBITDA) in 2016 and growth of sales in 2017. The Enterprise Value (EV) is a minimum of approximately SEK 25 million (approximately EUR 2.7 million) and it was paid in SEK as the agreement was signed on January 8, 2016, and all of Cinteros AB shares were transferred to the ownership of Innofactor. The rest of the Enterprise Value, which is a maximum of SEK 49 million (at the exchange rate of the time of publishing the deal, a maximum of EUR 5.3 million), is intended to be paid mainly in Innofactor shares during 2017 and 2018. The Enterprise Value (EV) is a maximum of SEK 74 million (at the exchange rate of the time of publishing the deal, a maximum of EUR 8.0 million). In connection with signing the agreement, the sellers were paid approximately SEK 28 million in cash (approximately EUR 3.1 million). The payment in its entirety was financed with a new bank loan. The part of the purchase price to be paid in shares includes a transfer restriction, which will be gradually released during a period of 36 months and which concerns 75 percent of the shares.

All four sellers belonged to the Cinteros' acting management and will continue in the Innofactor's Executive Board in Sweden. Cinteros CEO Robert Erlandsson will continue as the CEO of Innofactor's Swedish company and he became the Innofactor Group's Country Manager in Sweden and a new member in the Innofactor Executive Board. Cinteros AB's name will be changed to Innofactor AB around the middle of 2016, after which the Cinteros services will be offered under the Innofactor brand. The integration of Cinteros and Innofactor operations started immediately, and the goal is to implement the main parts of it before the end of 2016.

In December 2015, Innofactor sold its HR business to the Finnish company Arc Technology Oy, which is specialized in HR systems. The deal made Innofactor a minority owner in Arc Technology with an ownership share of approximately 19.9%. 6 employees and about 25 customer relationships were transferred to the company. After the deal, Arc Technology has about 30

employees, 100 customers, and a net sales of approximately EUR 3 million. The deal was published in a press release on December 22, 2015.

During the review period, the subsidiary Oy Soloplus Ab, 100% owned by Innofactor Plc, was merged into Innofactor Plc by means of a subsidiary merger (Finnish Companies Act (624/2006), Chapter 16, Section 2, subsection 2). Additionally, subsidiaries Innofactor VM Ltd and Venenum Ltd, 100% owned by the Innofactor Group company Innofactor SW Ltd, were merged into Innofactor SW Ltd by means of a subsidiary merger (Finnish Companies Act (624/2006), Chapter 16, Section 2, subsection 2). The merged companies had no business operations during the review period. During the review period, all shares of the Danish subsidiary Enabling Holding ApS, 100% owned by Innofactor Plc, were sold to the Danish subsidiary Innofactor Holding ApS, 100% owned by Innofactor Plc. The goal of these arrangements is to simplify the structure of the Innofactor Group. The long term goal is to achieve a group structure in which there is one company with business operations, and possibly one holding company, in each of the Nordic Countries.

No other acquisitions or other changes in the group structure were carried out during the review period.

Strategy

Innofactor strengthens its customers' competitiveness by providing outstanding IT solutions, products and services. Innofactor focuses on Microsoft-based solutions and the Microsoft ecosystem. Innofactor's clients comprise of private and public sector organizations. Innofactor currently operates in Finland, Denmark and Sweden. Innofactor's strategy is to actively expand its operations in the Nordic Countries, which may happen either organically or through acquisitions.

Innofactor's mission: We empower organizations and people to make a difference in the digital world.

Innofactor's vision: We are the number one Microsoft-based solution provider in the Nordic Countries.

Innofactor's strategy is to build competitive advantage as the leading provider focused on Microsoft-based solutions and the Microsoft ecosystem. Innofactor's strategy is to differentiate itself from the competitors in the following ways:

  • Deep understanding of companies, public sector and third sector organizations in the Nordic Countries
  • The best Nordic professionals in the Microsoft ecosystem
  • Comprehensive Microsoft-based offering, products and services
  • Fast delivery and value-adding customer support

Innofactor's long-term financial goal is to grow profitably:

  • By achieving over 10 percent operating margin (EBITDA) every year in 2014–2017
  • By achieving an average annual growth of 25–35 percent in 2014–2017 through organic growth as well as acquisitions
  • By keeping the cash flow positive and by securing solid financial standing in all situations

Implementation of the strategy during the review period

The growth of 1.4 percent in Innofactor's net sales in the review period was significantly lower than the 25–35 percent annual growth goal stated in the strategy. The realized annual growth of approximately 35.1 percent for five years in 2011–2015 complied with the strategy goal (25–35%). The acquisition of Cinteros AB, published in December 2015, creates prerequisites for a significant growth in net sales for 2016.

Innofactor's operating margin (EBITDA) in relation to net sales was 8.3 percent, which did not fulfill the strategy goal. According to the strategy, the annual EBITDA must be over 10 percent. The profitability was negatively affected, for example, by write-offs of receivables from individual customers at the beginning of 2015.

Innofactor's operating cash flow in the review period was EUR 3.9 million positive and grew approximately 71.4% from the corresponding figure for 2014 (2014: EUR 2.3 million). Innofactor's financial stability is good. Net gearing at the end of the year was 34.1% (2014: 42.9 percent). The redemption of the hybrid bond on February 29, 2016, and the bank loans related to the acquisition of Cinteros AB will affect the figures of 2016.

During the review period, Innofactor published its acquisition of the Swedish company Cinteros AB, which gave Innofactor a strategically important position in the Swedish IT service market, complemented Innofactor's Microsoft-based offering and strengthened Innofactor's position as the leading Microsoft-based solutions provider in the Nordic Countries. The deal was signed on January 8, 2016, as planned.

Events after the review period

On January 5, 2016, Innofactor announced in a stock exchange release that a total of 83,044 Innofactor Plc shares have been conveyed to a new key member of corporate management as a part of the compensation. The price for the conveyed shares was approximately EUR 0.78 per share. The shares are subject to sale and transfer restriction for 12 months. The conveyance was based on the decision of the Board of Directors, which was made on the basis of the authorization given by the Annual General Meeting on March 24, 2015.

On January 25, 2016, Innofactor announced in a stock exchange release that Keva has selected Innofactor in a public procurement competition as the provider of a web content management system and related services. The system delivery includes the implementation project, maintenance and support services. The comparison price (excluding VAT) of the procurement for the contract period is EUR 549,324.

On January 26, 2016, Innofactor announced in a stock exchange release that starting from January 26, 2016, Innofactor's CEO Sami Ensio will take a sick leave of approximately two months related to an operation he is going to have and the recovery from it. During Sami Ensio's sick leave, his deputy will be Innofactor's CFO Janne Martola.

On January 28, 2016, Innofactor announced in a stock exchange release that the Board of HKL (Helsinki City Transport) decided on January 27, 2016, to cancel the procurement decision for the situational information system for the Metro's total security as Tieto Finland Oy, which came third in the bidding competition, has made a claim for rectification concerning the procurement.

procurement. On November 26, 2015, HKL had made a procurement decision, selecting Innofactor as the provider of the system. The system concerned in the procurement will guarantee Metro's safe operation for the customers. As stated by the customer, the procurement price (excluding VAT) for the period of four years is EUR 2,909,000. The framework arrangement of the procurement was intended to remain in effect for a maximum of 15 years. For this total time, Innofactor has stated that the total price according to the tender will be EUR 7,025,500. Innofactor considers the HKL's decision on cancelling the procurement decision to be clearly in violation of the Procurement Act, and Innofactor will make a complaint about the matter to The Market Court, unless the City of Helsinki changes the decision. The legal process concerning the legality of the decision will possibly take about 2–3 years. The Local Government Act still gives the Helsinki City Government the right to take the matter into handling, and this gives the City Government the option to overrule the HKL Board decision.

On January 28, 2016, Innofactor announced in a stock exchange release that in a tendering process governed by a framework agreement, the Hospital District of Helsinki and Uusimaa (HUS) has selected Innofactor as the provider for transferring application and infrastructure solutions into cloud services and as the provider of continuous services and expert services related to the cloud services. In its invitation to tender, HUS estimated that the value of the delivery would be about EUR 1.5 million during the contract period of 2016–2017. However, the final value of the deal during the contract period cannot be stated for certain at this point. The whole includes transferring the existing On-Premises applications and infrastructure solutions of HUS into a Microsoft Azure cloud environment and also monitoring, management and support consultation services. The delivery also includes cloud architecture development, application and infrastructure service design/planning for individual projects and implementation of HUS' own solutions, such as Virtual Hospitals. Project deliveries and services related to the cloud transfer are planned to be delivered in stages during 2016–2017.

On February 22nd, 2016 Innofactor made a flagging announcement pursuant to Chapter 9, Section 10 of the Finnish Securities Markets Act that as a result of a share transaction made on February 22, 2016, Jyrki Salminen's ownership of Innofactor Plc has decreased below five percent. After the transaction, Jyrki Salminen has 1,111,149 shares, which represents 3.32 percent of all the shares and votes.

On February 29, 2016, Innofactor announced in a stock exchange release that Innofactor has redeemed its EUR 3.2 million hybrid bond in full in cash. Innofactor has no other hybrid bonds. Innofactor did not take a new bank loan to redeem the hybrid bond. Currently, Innofactor has bank loans for a total of approximately EUR 11.3 million.

On February 29, 2016, Innofactor announced in a stock exchange release that the market making agreement for Innofactor Plc's share is transferred from FIM to S-Pankki. Innofactor has signed a

Board of Directors' proposal on the dividend

Innofactor is a growing company and intends to use its operating profit on actions promoting growth, for example, on realizing mergers. Innofactor has defined a dividend distribution policy according to which the aim of the Board of Directors is to provide an opportunity for the shareholders to distribute, from the part of the operating margin (EBITDA) that exceeds 10%, the maximum dividend allowed by the state of the business. For 2015, the operating margin (EBITDA) was 8.3% of the net sales. In making the proposal on the dividend, the Board of Directors takes into account the company's financial situation, profitability and near-term outlook.

At the end of the financial period of 2015, the distributable assets of the Group's parent company were EUR 38,366,416.05.

The Board of Directors proposes that no dividend be distributed for the financial period of 2015.

Financial statement summary and appendixes January 1–December 31, 2016 (IFRS)

Drafting principles

This financial statement has been drafted in accordance with the IAS 34 Interim financial reporting standard. The financial statement adheres to the same drafting principles and calculation methods as the last annual financial statement. The principles for calculating the key figures and the calculation formulas have not been changed and they have been presented in an appendix to the financial statement.

Drafting a financial statement in accordance with the IFRS standards requires the management of Innofactor to use estimates and presuppositions, which affect the amounts of assets and debts at the time of drafting the balance sheet and the amounts of earnings and costs for the review period. The application of the accounting policies also requires judgment. As estimates and presuppositions are based on the views held at the time of drafting the statement, they contain risks and uncertainty factors. The actual figures may deviate from the estimates and presuppositions. The figures of the profit and loss statement and the balance sheet are figures for the group. The figures of the statement have been rounded, so the sum of individual figures may differ from the sum presented.

The financial statement figures in this financial statement have been audited.

The final acquisition cost calculation for Enabling ApS (current Innofactor Business Solutions ApS)

On December 13, 2013, Innofactor Plc signed an agreement on acquiring the entire share capital of Enabling Holding ApS and its subsidiaries Enabling ApS and Enabling Sweden AB (collectively Enabling Group) from the company's management. According to the agreement published by the company on December 13, 2013, the purchase price was defined based on Enabling Group's realized EBITDA in 2014. The final purchase price was approximately EUR 3.8 million, of which approximately EUR 2.2 million was paid in June 2015. Out of this sum, approximately EUR 1.7 was paid in cash and approximately EUR 0.5 million in company shares. The name of Enabling ApS has been changed to Innofactor Business Solutions ApS and the name of Enabling Sweden AB to Innofactor AB.

The closing of the deal took place on December 31, 2013, and the figures for the acquired companies have been consolidated in the Innofactor Group's balance sheet on that same date. As the value of the Innofactor shares used for paying the first part of the purchase price, the closing price of the share on December 30, 2013, EUR 1.26, was used. As the value of the Innofactor shares used for paying the rest of the purchase price, the share price of EUR 1.06 was used. All Innofactor shares used as payment in this transaction are subject to transfer restrictions, which will be gradually released by 2017.

The acquisition cost according to IFRS is EUR 3,134 thousand (the purchase price of the shares) and has been presented in more detail in the following calculation.

The preliminary acquisition cost calculation for Cinteros AB

On December 21, 2015, Innofactor Plc signed an agreement on acquiring the entire share capital of Cinteros AB from the company's management. According to the agreement published by the company on December 22, 2015, the purchase price will be determined by Cinteros' realized operating margin (EBITDA) in 2016 and growth of sales in 2017. The Enterprise Value (EV) is a minimum of approximately SEK 25 million (approximately EUR 2.7 million) and it was paid in SEK as the agreement was signed on January 8, 2016, and all of Cinteros AB shares were transferred to the ownership of Innofactor. In connection with signing the agreement, the sellers were paid approximately SEK 28 million in cash (approximately EUR 3.1 million). The payment in its entirety was financed with a new bank loan.

The rest of the Enterprise Value, which is a maximum of SEK 49 million (at the exchange rate of the time of publishing the deal, a maximum of EUR 5.3 million), is intended to be paid mainly in Innofactor shares during 2017 and 2018. The Enterprise Value (EV) is a maximum of SEK 74 million (at the exchange rate of the time of publishing the deal, a maximum of EUR 8.0 million). The part of the purchase price to be paid in shares includes a transfer restriction, which will be gradually released during a period of 36 months and which concerns 75 percent of the shares.

The figures for Cinteros AB will be consolidated into the Innofactor Group's balance sheet as of January 1, 2016, and, thus, they are not included in the balance sheet of December 31, 2015. Cinteros AB's name will be changed to Innofactor AB around the middle of 2016, after which the Cinteros services will be offered under the Innofactor brand.

The acquisition cost according to IFRS is the estimated purchase price of the shares, which in the preliminary acquisition cost calculation is EUR 9,342 thousand and has been presented in more detail in the following calculation. The calculation is preliminary and is based on the unaudited figures of Cinteros AB for 2015.
