INTERIM REPORT Q3/2015

Innofactor’s net sales and operating margin (EBITDA) in 2015 is estimated to increase from 2014, during which the restated net sales were EUR 43.8 million and operating margin was EUR 3.8 million.

The figures in this interim report have not been audited.

Reporting

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

CEO Sami Ensio's review

In the third quarter of 2015, Innofactor’s net sales were EUR 9.3 million, which shows a decrease of 3.5% compared to the corresponding period in the previous year. The operating margin (EBITDA) was EUR 0.8 million (8.1 percent of the net sales), which shows a decrease of 15.4 percent since last year.

On September 16, 2015, Innofactor terminated the contract of the Country Manager in Denmark due to suspected misconduct and lack of confidence. The above-mentioned has been part of the reasons leading to the error in project assessments, due to which Innofactor is correcting in this interim report the group figures for the first and second quarter of 2015. For the time preceding the current financial period as a whole, the figures are corrected to the last quarter of 2014. The effect of the corrections in the Innofactor group’s operating margin for 2015 is approximately EUR -0.24 million, for the operating margin of 2014 it is EUR -0.31 million, and in total approximately EUR -0.55 million.

Because investigations, actions with local authorities and other legal proceedings concerning the possible misconducts in the Danish subsidiary are in progress, it is not yet possible to estimate the potential amount of compensation for damage. Anthony Gyursanszky (Innofactor’s Chief Operating Officer) has been appointed as the Country Manager for Denmark. He has led the rearrangement of the operative processes and management of the Danish business to comply with Innofactor’s corporate governance principles and to ensure profitable growth in accordance with the strategy in Denmark. The Innofactor group has paid attention to strengthening the transparency of its operations. One of our central actions has been to increase the resources of the Nordic ERP process started in spring 2015, in order to complete the project quickly. In Innofactor’s business culture, a strong trust in knowledgeable personnel and management will remain as a central factor.

Despite the above-mentioned write-offs, Innofactor’s growth in the first three quarters of 2015 was 0.8 percent (net sales EUR 31.9 million). The operating margin (EBITDA) was EUR 2.0 million, which shows a decrease of 15.1 percent since last year. The cash flow from business activities in the first three quarters of the year was strong, increasing to EUR 2.5 million from the previous year’s EUR -0.5 million.

INTERIM REPORT Q3/2015

Innofactor updated its strategy in September. I am very satisfied with the strategy process, which we went through with the Board of Directors, renewed Executive Board, other management and personnel. Our renewed mission to “empower organizations and people to make a difference in a digital world” describes well the passion, which was the basis on which I founded Innofactor 16 years ago. It also describes the way we in Innofactor want to still work daily with our customers and their customers and employees. The digital world offers totally new possibilities for the success of both organizations and individuals. On the basis of its renewed strategy, Innofactor has been planning on its operations for the next few years and will next move on to budgeting.

We think that Innofactor has good prerequisites to continue growing its business operations profitably in 2015. For Innofactor, the last quarter has typically been stronger than the other quarters.

Innofactor is still actively looking for new strategic partnerships in the Nordic Countries. The group will seek growth, which can be organic or based on mergers or 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 growth of IT service market in 2015 will be 0–1% in Finland and 1–3% in other Nordic Countries. The estimate is based on research institutes’ forecasts and Innofactor’s 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, unique proofs of rapid and profitable growth and successful acquisitions together with business culture with entrepreneurial spirit make it a very attractive partner when making reorganizations in the field in the Nordic Countries.

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.

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 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 110,633 of its own shares during the review period. After the purchases made during the review period, the authorization remains valid for 7,889,367 shares.

On September 30, 2015, Innofactor Plc had 86,758 treasury shares. Innofactor Plc had acquired additional 23,875 treasury shares on September 29, 2015, and September 30, 2015, but these had not yet been registered in the company's book-entry account by September 30, 2015.

The Board of Directors of Innofactor Plc decided on a new share-based incentive plan for all Innofactor group's personnel in order to commit the personnel to the company and its goals. On the basis of the plan, a total of 800,000 new company shares were issued in a directed issue for the company's personnel, deviating from the pre-emptive rights of shareholders. The subscription of the personnel shares took place on September 7–11, 2015, and the trading of the new shares in the Helsinki Stock Exchange (NASDAQ OMX) started on September 30, 2015. The Personnel Shares are subject to 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.

Management of the company

Innofactor Plc complies with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code 2010 for Finnish listed companies, published by the Securities Market Association.

The General Meeting of March 24, 2015, decided that the number of Board members is six. Of the current members of the Board of Directors, J.T. Bergqvist, Sami Ensio, Jukka Mäkinen and Ilari Nurmi were re-elected. Ari Rahkonen and Pekka Puolakka were elected as new members. In their

organizing meeting held immediately after the General Meeting, the Board of Directors elected Ari Rahkonen as the Chairman of the Board.

The General Meeting approved the proposal to re-appoint Ernst & Young Oy, an auditing firm authorized by the Central Chamber of Commerce, as the auditor for the company, with Juha Hilmola, APA, as the main responsible auditor.

Innofactor has drawn up a separate Corporate Governance Statement for the financial period of 2014.

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

There have been no other significant changes in Innofactor's short-term operational risks and uncertainty factors during the review period nor can any other significant changes be seen.

Financial risks

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. Due to the favorable decision of the Finnish Large Taxpayers' Office, the risk related to tax receivables has been significantly reduced. 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.

After the review period, on October 6, 2015, Innofactor signed an agreement that enables the company to take a 6-year bank loan (senior bank loan) of EUR 3.2 million in order to redeem the hybrid bond. The hybrid bond has no due date, but the company has the right to redeem it in February 2016, before the rate increases to 12%. The bank loan will decrease Innofactor's financing costs and the risk related to redeeming the hybrid bond.

There have been no other significant changes in Innofactor's short-term financial risks and uncertainty factors during the review period nor can any other significant changes be seen.

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 commercial and public sector customers 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 0.8 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. However, the said growth was entirely organic and the average is still well over the goal.

Innofactor's operating margin (EBITDA) in relation to net sales was 6.2 percent, which did not fulfill the strategy goal. According to the strategy, the annual EBITDA must be over 10 percent. Typically, the profitability has improved towards the end of the year.

Innofactor's operating cash flow in the review period was EUR 2.5 million positive and improved significantly from the corresponding figure for 2014 (2014: -0.5 million). Innofactor's financial

stability is good. Net gearing at the end of the review period was 38.34 percent (2014: 55.1 percent).

Innofactor did not make any acquisitions during the review period.

Events after the review period

On October 6, 2015, Innofactor announced in a stock exchange release that it had signed an agreement that enables the company to take a 6-year bank loan (senior bank loan) of EUR 3.2 million in order to redeem the hybrid bond. The hybrid bond has no due date, but the company has the right to redeem it in February 2016, before the rate increases to 12%. The bank loan will decrease Innofactor’s financing costs significantly compared to the current hybrid loan.

There have been no other significant events in Innofactor after the review period.

Future outlook

Innofactor’s net sales and operating margin (EBITDA) in 2015 is estimated to increase from 2014, during which the restated net sales were EUR 43.8 million and operating margin was EUR 3.8 million.

Financial statement summary and appendixes, January 1–September 30, 2015 (IFRS)

Drafting principles

This Interim Report has been drafted in accordance with the IAS 34 Interim financial reporting standard. The interim report 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 the financial report 2014.

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 figures in the interim report have not 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.
