FINANCIAL STATEMENT 2016

Innofactor's future outlook for 2017

Innofactor's net sales and operating margin (EBITDA) in 2017 is estimated to increase from 2016, during which the net sales were EUR 59.6 million and operating margin was EUR 4.8 million.

CEO Sami Ensio's review: In 2016, we became the number one provider of Microsoft-based solutions in the Nordic Countries. Also, Q4/2016 net sales and operating margin were the highest in our history.

In the last quarter of 2016, Innofactor continued profitable growth in accordance with its strategy and had the best quarter in its history, as measured in both net sales and operating margin. The growth of net sales in the last quarter of 2016 was 42.9 percent (net sales EUR 18.0 million) and operating margin (EBITDA) was EUR 2.0 million (11.1 percent of the net sales), which shows an increase of 14.2 percent since the previous year.

In the entire year 2016, Innofactor's net sales grew 34.1 percent (net sales approximately EUR 59.6 million). The operating margin (EBITDA) was approximately EUR 4.8 million, which shows an increase of 30.4 percent since last year. The cash flow from business activities in 2016 remained strong and was approximately EUR 3.1 million.

On October 9, 2016, Innofactor reached an agreement on acquiring the entire share capital of the Lumagate group from the company's key persons. Lumagate is one of the leading Nordic IT companies, which operates in the Microsoft ecosystem and focuses on offering cloud-based solutions. The company has over 70 employees in three different countries: Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Due to the acquisition, Innofactor expanded into Norway and strengthened its position significantly in Sweden and Denmark. Innofactor considered that, after the acquisition, it had reached the position of the number one Microsoft-based solution provider in the Nordic Countries, as defined in its strategy. Innofactor's vision from now on is to be the leading implementer of cloud solutions and digitalization in each of the Nordic Countries.

However, in 2016, Lumagate's net sales, operating margin and cash flow in the last quarter were significantly weaker than the estimates at the time of signing the deal. Unfortunately, this also has a negative impact on Innofactor's figures for 2016. Corrective actions to improve the situation were started immediately after the problems were noticed and the organization in Norway went through a major reforming in February 2017. Lumagate Sweden's organization will be renewed during March 2017 and Lumagate Denmark will be merged with Innofactor in Demark in April 2017. In addition Lumagate group functions will be combined with Innofactor. These actions are expected to improve the net sales, operating margin and cash flow starting from the second quarter of 2017 at the latest.

As the Lumagate's operating margin was significantly smaller than estimated in 2016, the maximum purchase price of Lumagate changed and is now approximately EUR 6.8 million, whereas it was EUR 10.5 million previously. This means that the possible additional purchase price

is EUR 2.1 million at the maximum and, should it realize, will be paid only in 2019 (with the company shares as a default). Despite the decrease in Lumagate net sales and operating profit in 2016, we consider the result, due to the lowered maximum purchase price of EUR 3.7 million, to positively affect Innofactor's value to shareholders.

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

Strategy and its realization in the review period

Innofactor is the one of the leading implementers of cloud solutions and digitalization in the Nordic Countries. Innofactor has the widest solution offering and leading know-how in the Microsoft ecosystem in the Nordic Countries. Innofactor has over 600 enthusiastic and motivated top specialists in Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway. Innofactor's customers include over 1,500 companies and public administration and third sector organizations. During the years 2017–2020, Innofactor will primarily strive to unify its offering in the Nordic Countries in its selected areas. This may happen either through organic growth or selected acquisitions.

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

Innofactor's vision: We are the leading implementer of cloud solutions and digitalization in each of the Nordic Countries (Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway).

Innofactor's strategy for achieving this vision includes:

  • The best Nordic professionals in the Microsoft ecosystem
  • The leading offering in cloud solutions and digitalization
  • A proactive, value-adding and flexible delivery model
  • Spearhead customers in selected fields in the Nordic Countries

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

  • To achieve annual organic growth of approximately 20 percent in 2020 at the latest
  • To achieve approximately 20 percent operating margin (EBITDA) in relation to the net sales in 2020 at the latest
  • To keep the cash flow positive and to secure solid financial standing in all situations

We believe that we can achieve the 20% organic growth by following means:

  • In the Nordic Countries, we will focus on those fields and customer segments, which have great growth potential in digitalization and implementing cloud services. Social services and healthcare along with wellbeing services are an example of a field in which we will focus strongly in 2017 and coming years.
  • We will improve sales of our products and services to existing customers in order to compete for an increasing share of the budget the customers are using for digitalization and to develop customer relationships in long term.
  • We will invest in using modern digital marketing methods to improve acquiring of new customers and to strengthen the customers' image of Innofactor as the leading Nordic implementer of digitalization and cloud services, as well as to improve our sales.

In addition to what was presented above, we believe that we can achieve the 20% operating margin by following means:

  • We will move the focus in our offering more and more to our own products and productized services, which ease our customers' transfer to cloud services and maintenance. Thus, we can continue to offer our customers better services and greater added value, while strengthening long-term customer relationships.
  • We will improve the skills of our own specialists, so that our customers will see significant added value in their know-how as compared to our competitors and will be willing to pay a rate that is higher than the field's average.
  • We will develop our flexible delivery model, which enables fast added value, in such a way that it will further improve customer satisfaction. In the development of our delivery model, we will focus on as efficient planning of the work as possible, while minimizing unnecessary work that will not provide added value to the customer. At the same time, our invoicing rate will improve.
  • In the Nordic level, we will focus on gaining synergies that provide cost savings, for example, by implementing in 2017–2018 the cloud-based Nordic Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Operations ERP system.

Innofactor's net sales on the review period of January 1–December 31, 2016, grew by 34.1% and a significant part of this was based on inorganic growth resulting from acquisitions. Innofactor's operating margin (EBITDA) in relation to net sales was 8.1 percent in the review period of January 1–December 31, 2016. Innofactor's operating cash flow in the review period of January 1–December 31, 2016, was EUR 3.1 million positive (2015: EUR 3.9 million).

Innofactor's financial stability remains to be good. Net gearing at the end of the review period was 70.2 percent (2015: 34.1 percent). During the review period, Innofactor redeemed the EUR 3.2 million hybrid bond, which decreased the equity ratio and increased the net gearing. During the review period, the company took loans for approximately EUR 4.1 million for the acquisition of Cinteros AB and EUR 5.0 million for the acquisition of Lumagate, which together increased the amount of interest bearing liabilities.

Innofactor's net sales and operating margin grew significantly during the review period

Of the net sales in January 1–December 31, 2016, approximately 41% came from commercial clients, approximately 35% from public sector clients and approximately 24% from third sector clients.

Innofactor's net sales in the review period of January 1–December 31, 2016, came from the following sources:

  • approximately 62% from IT system delivery projects and consulting
  • approximately 14% from specialist work based on recurring service contracts, such as smaller customer-specific changes and further development of IT systems
  • approximately 19% from services based on recurring service contracts, such as SaaS, cloud and hosting services, and from software maintenance
  • approximately 5% from licenses, of which the share of licensing income to third parties was about 2% of the net sales

Innofactor's 10 largest clients accounted for approximately 29 percent of the net sales during the review period January 1–December 31, 2016. Significant growth compared to the previous year (2015: 23 percent) is mainly due to the fact that the Swedish subsidiary Innofactor AB (former Cinteros AB), which was merged into Innofactor on January 1, 2016, has several major projects in progress at the moment.

Innofactor's operating margin (EBITDA) in October 1–December 31, 2016, was EUR 1,990 thousand* (2015: 1,742), which shows an increase of 14.2 percent.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT 2016

Acquisitions are a central part of Innofactor's strategy. Depreciations of intangible rights resulting from acquisitions vary greatly depending on how valuable the customer contracts and technology of the acquired company are estimated to be and also in what kind of schedule the resulting intangible rights will be depreciated. For this reason, the company's view is that instead of the operating profit, the primary measure for profitability should be the operating margin (EBITDA), because it is not affected by the said depreciations.

The growth of Innofactor's net sales and operating margin in the review period was affected by the acquisition of the Swedish company Cinteros AB (current Innofactor AB), whose figures have been incorporated into Innofactor figures as of January 1, 2016, and by the acquisition of Lumagate Group whose figures have been incorporated into Innofactor figures as of October 1, 2016.

In accordance with IFRS 3, the operating profit for October 1–December 31, 2016, includes EUR 518 thousand (2015: 120) in depreciations related to acquisitions, consisting of allocations of the purchase price to intangible assets. Adjusted for the said depreciations, Innofactor's operative business profit for the review period of October 1–December 31, 2016, would have been EUR 1,844 thousand (2015: 1,590), which shows an increase of 16.0 percent. The business result of the review period January 1–December 31, 2016, includes EUR 1,884 thousand (2015: 480) in depreciations related to acquisitions, consisting of allocations of the purchase price to intangible assets. Innofactor's operative business profit adjusted for these depreciations in January 1–December 31, 2016, would have been EUR 2,216 thousand (2015: 2,542), which shows an increase of 65.9 percent.

Innofactor's operating cash flow in the review period remained strong

Innofactor's balance sheet total at the end of the review period was EUR 63,587 thousand (2015: 43,983). The growth in the balance sheet total was mainly due to the acquisitions of Cinteros AB and Lumagate. The Group's liquid assets totaled EUR 902 thousand (2015: 843), consisting totally of cash funds.

The operating cash flow remained strong in the review period of January 1–December 31, 2016, and was EUR 3,442 thousand (2015: 3,943). The investment cash flow was significantly affected by the acquisitions of Cinteros AB and Lumagate, realized during the review period, and it was EUR -7,318 thousand (2015: -2,162).

The equity ratio at the end of the review period was 35.8 percent (2015: 56.9%) and net gearing was 70.2 percent (2015: 34.1%). During the review period, Innofactor redeemed the EUR 3.2 million hybrid bond, which decreased the equity ratio and increased the net gearing.

At the end of the review period, the company had EUR 7,663 thousand in current interest bearing liabilities (2015: 4,428) and EUR 9,038 thousand in non-current interest bearing liabilities (2015:

4,791). The total amount of interest bearing liabilities was EUR 16,701 thousand (2015: 9,219). At the end of the review period the company additionally had EUR 1.4 million in unused overdraft limit. For the acquisitions of Cinteros AB and Lumagate Group, the company took loans for approximately EUR 9.1 million during the review period, which increased the amount of interest bearing liabilities.

The return on investment in January 1–December 31, 2016, decreased from the previous year and was 6.4 percent (2015: 7.6%).

The return on investment in January 1–December 31, 2016, decreased slightly from the previous year and was 6.5 percent (2015: 6.6%).

The non-current assets in Innofactor's balance sheet at the end of the review period were EUR 43,876 thousand in total and consisted of the following items:

  • Tangible assets EUR 628 thousand
  • Goodwill EUR 27,690 thousand
  • Other intangible assets EUR 9,141 thousand
  • Shares and holdings EUR 62 thousand
  • Receivables EUR 595 thousand
  • Deferred tax assets EUR 5,760 thousand

Innofactor's gross investments in tangible assets in the review period of January 1–December 31, 2016, were EUR 479 thousand (2015: 447), consisting of normal additional and replacement investments required by growth.

The write-offs on intangible assets were EUR 1,978 thousand (2015: 587). The growth was mainly due to increased write-offs on intangible assets resulting from the acquisitions of Cinteros AB and Lumagate Group. In addition, Innofactor has activated development costs of EUR 322 thousand relating to its own ERP system from October 1, 2016 onwards.

Innofactor's research and product development investments increased significantly in 2016

In the Innofactor strategy, renewed at the end of 2015, the role of product and service development gained more importance and investments for 2016 were increased. The acquisitions of Cinteros AB (realized at the beginning of 2016) and Lumagate Group (October 2016), and their products that have thus become Innofactor's products support this strategic development.

In the product development during the review period, focus was on renewing existing products, increasing cloud capabilities and continuous further development in order to support the growth of product-based business. A significant part of the Group's research and product development costs in the review period were due to the further development of the Membership Management Solutions product that Innofactor gained in the Cinteros AB acquisition.

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

Market outlook and business environment

Main forces affecting market changes and main trends of innovation are, for example, augmented and virtual reality, Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, and robotics. Factors enabling these include transfer of software into the cloud, data analytics, social media, and mobility. The purchase habits of customers have continued to change as these business changes are taking place. Our customers expect their IT provider to focus more on business benefits instead of technology benefits. Our customers want to get solutions that are ready for use without a need to make major customer-specific changes. Additionally, customers increasingly wish to purchase continuous services instead of large one-off projects.

We estimate that the IT service market in the Nordic Countries grew by approximately 2–3% in 2016. In Finland, the growth was still slower than in the other Nordic Countries, but increased slightly. We estimate that the growth of the IT service market in the Nordic Countries in 2017 will be approximately 3–4%. The competitiveness contract signed in 2016 is estimated to have a positive effect on markets in Finland. Our estimate is based on research institutes' forecasts and our 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, as well as 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.

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 Innofactor Plc's 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 the group companies that carry on its business operations.

Skilled personnel and its availability: The development of Innofactor's operations and deliveries depends greatly on the Group having skilled personnel and being able to replace persons, who are leaving, with properly skilled persons. 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 2016, about 70% 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 strives to affect the development of personnel costs via interest groups. It also 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 also notable legal resources, and they can use these when competing with Innofactor for the same deliveries. Additionally, new, small startup companies increase competition in certain deliveries. The price competition in 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. Regarding this, the company has published its long term financial goals for 2020.

Research and product development: In Innofactor's operation, research and product development play a central role. In 2016, about 5.7% 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, artificial intelligence, 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 often in the past. It is possible that the IT market in Innofactor's market area will not grow or may even shrink in 2017. 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 and common processes and information systems supporting these that will decrease the risks in global operations. A main part of this is the implementation of the Nordic ERP system in 2016–2018.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT 2016

Uncertainties related to acquisitions: The growth has partly been 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 January 2016, Innofactor took a bank loan package totaling approximately EUR 4.1 million for the Cinteros AB acquisition, on February 29, 2016, the company redeemed the EUR 3.2 million hybrid bond, and in March 2016, the company reorganized its other loans. In October 2016, Innofactor took another bank loan of approximately EUR 5.0 million for the Lumagate acquisition. In total at the end of the review period, Innofactor had approximately EUR 16.7 million in interest bearing debts.

Innofactor has committed itself to the following covenants: equity ratio calculated every 6 months is at least of 30% on December 31, 2016, and at least 35% on June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2017. After this, the equity ratio calculated on every 6-month check point must be at least 40%. 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 3.5 on

December 31, 2016. At the next check point on June 30, 2017, the requirement is 3.0 at the maximum, and on the check point on December 31, 2017, and every 6-month check point after that, 2.5 at the maximum. 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: An interest risk in mainly due to the Group's short-term and long-term loans. 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: The Innofactor group operates globally and is susceptible to risks related to the currencies of the countries in which it operates. Changes in exchange rates, especially the rates of Swedish krona and Norwegian krone, affect the Group's net sales and profitability. After the Cinteros and Lumagate acquisitions, Innofactor has significant business operations based on Swedish krona and Norwegian krone. The exchange rate risk is mainly due to the assets and liabilities registered in the balance sheet and the net investments made in the subsidiaries abroad. 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 4.6 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, 2016, increased by 77.3% compared to the same period in the previous year. In 2016, share trading was 38.4% of the share capital, which is a fairly large number compared to many Small Cap companies. However, in the Helsinki stock exchange, companies' average trade in 2016 was approximately 62.6% of the market value. 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. Additionally, Innofactor has a market maker agreement that has been valid since May 24, 2012. According to the agreement, S-Pankki Oy will quote bids and offers for Innofactor Plc's share so that the spread of the bid and offer prices is a maximum of 4% calculated on the bid price.

Innofactor's future outlook for 2017

Innofactor's net sales and operating margin (EBITDA) in 2017 is estimated to increase from 2016, during which the net sales were EUR 59.6 million and operating margin was EUR 4.8 million.

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 2016, the operating margin (EBITDA) was 8.1% 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 2016, the distributable assets of the Group's parent company were EUR 41,020,610.27.

The Board of Directors proposes that no dividend be distributed for the financial period of 2016.

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

Accounting policies

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

This financial statement has been drafted in accordance with the IAS 34 Interim financial reporting standard.

Starting from October 1, 2016, Innofactor has activated development costs of its own ERP system. The Nordic ERP system is very important for Innofactor in order to gain future synergies and the long-term financial goals for 2020. We also believe that the experience we gain while developing and implementing the new Microsoft Dynamics 365-based cloud system will bring us significant competitive edge in customer deliveries.

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.

Innofactor has taken into use the instructions given by the European Securities and Market Authority, ESMA, concerning alternative key figures. In addition to the IFRS key figures, Innofactor publishes certain alternative key figures in order to present the financial development of the actual business operations and to improve comparisons between different periods. Acquisitions are a central part of Innofactor’s strategy. Depreciations of intangible rights resulting from acquisitions vary greatly depending on how valuable the customer contracts and technology of the acquired company are estimated to be and also in what kind of schedule the resulting intangible rights will be depreciated. For this reason, the company’s view is that instead of the operating profit, the primary measure for profitability should be the operating margin (EBITDA), because it is not affected by the said depreciations. In addition to the operating margin, the company also publishes the operative business result adjusted for the above-mentioned depreciations, operative business result before taxes, operative business result, and operative business result per share. Depreciations related to acquisitions, adjusted from the above-mentioned key figures, in the period October 1–December 31, 2016, were EUR 518 thousand (2015: 120), and in the period January 1–December 31, 2016, EUR 1,884 thousand (2015: 480).

Other alternative key figures used by Innofactor are equity ratio, net gearing, return on investment, return on equity, and net sales per person. The formulas for calculating the other alternative key figures are presented at the end of this 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 not been audited.

*) During the third quarter of 2015, an error in the assessment of projects was detected in the Group company concerning the period of January 1–June 30, 2015, for the year 2015 and only the last quarter of 2014 for the previous financial periods. The assessment error has been corrected for the above-mentioned periods in accordance with IAS 8: 41–42. The total effect of the error on the net sales for January 1–September 30, 2015, and for the net sales of the entire year 2015 was a decrease of approximately EUR -238 thousand in the operating margin and operating profit. Adjustments and their effects on the Group figures are described in more detail in the attachment to the interim report for January 1–September 30, 2015, which was published on October 20, 2015.

The final 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 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 were 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 was changed to Innofactor AB on May 31, 2016, after which the Cinteros services are offered under the Innofactor brand.
