CEO Sami Ensio's review: Despite the Prime divestment, we believe that we will achieve growth in 2021, supported by strong growth of the order backlog early in the year
The net sales in the first quarter of 2021 were EUR 17.8 million, which shows an increase of 3.8 percent compared to the previous year. During the first quarter, Finland accounted for all of the growth, but starting from the second quarter, we expect to also achieve growth outside Finland, where COVID-19 had a negative impact on net sales in 2020. The operating margin (EBITDA) grew 138.0 percent from the previous year and was EUR 4.7 million (26.2 percent of the net sales), and it was positive in all countries except for Sweden, where the first quarter was subject to costs associated with the reorganization of business operations. The operating margin includes a sales gain of approximately EUR 2.6 million from the sale of the Prime business, without which the operating margin would have been approximately EUR 2.1 million (11.8 percent of net sales and growth of 7.3 percent from the previous year). In the first quarter, the order backlog grew to a record-breaking amount and was EUR 68.9 million at the end of the quarter, which shows an increase of 27.4 percent compared to the corresponding time in the previous year.
Innofactor sold its resource management software solution business, Innofactor Prime, in Finland to Total Specific Solutions (TSS). The business operations were transferred as of April 1, 2021. Prime is a flexible and versatile software solution for parishes and public sector organizations. It allows the optimization and efficient management of organizations' resources and offers a comprehensive suite of diverse off-the-shelf and customized modules, such as invoicing, calendar management, graveyard management, enterprise resource planning system and electronic services. The transaction had a positive net impact of EUR 2.6 million on Innofactor's operating margin (EBITDA) for the first quarter and an estimated negative impact of EUR 2 million on the net sales for 2021 (Q2–Q4), but net sales on the whole are expected to continue to grow. Innofactor will continue to provide managed services relating to the Prime business to TTS.
We saw remarkable success in our sales during the first quarter. The Finnish Tax Administration selected Innofactor as the primary provider of IT specialist services in the area of Azure programming. The procurement consists of the project manager and ICT specialist resources to support the project management, defining, programming, management and service design of the Tax Administration's systems, and other technical know-how to support the Tax Administration's ICT. Based on the volume stated by the customer in connection with the procurement, the total value of the area is approximately EUR 15–25 million. The duration of the framework agreement is 6 years, and assignments started during the framework agreement period may continue 4 years after the expiration of the framework agreement. This is the biggest individual deal in Innofactor's history. In addition, we secured deliveries of the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health's enterprise resource planning system, approximately EUR 1.6 million, Metsähallitus' case management system, approximately EUR 0.7 million, and a Norwegian financial services company's cloud solution, approximately EUR 0.5 million.
Innofactor appointed Martin Söderlind to the new Chief Innovation and Talent Officer role as of April 1, 2021. Martin is responsible for Innofactor's operations regarding offering and talent

development. Söderlind is a member of the Executive Board, reporting to the CEO, Sami Ensio, and working at Innofactor’s Stockholm office. Martin Söderlind has more than 20 years of experience in leadership positions in the ICT industry and development of international business. Söderlind joins Innofactor from Nordcloud, where he was focusing on growing the businesses in Sweden, Denmark and Norway as COO Scandinavia. Before this, Söderlind held a number of leadership and business development positions within Telia Company. I would like to bid Martin a warm welcome. He will play a key role in the long-term success of Innofactor.
The COVID-19 pandemic is not expected to cause significant harm to Innofactor’s business in 2021. In the long term, we believe that the digital step the society is taking due to the COVID-19 pandemic will increase Innofactor's possibilities to grow its business operations. The abilities of a modern digital organization will be even more important for our customers in the future. It is also possible that some of our customers will transfer some of their operations back to the Nordic countries in order to be closer to their customers. This would have a favorable effect as regards the business model of Innofactor's chosen strategy based on Nordic specialists. We also believe that Microsoft's position has strengthened during the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe in our chances of increasing our market share.
Innofactor's aim is to be the leading provider of organizations' digital transformation in each of the Nordic countries. We believe in our chosen Nordic strategy and in reaching our long-term goals. This requires perseverance and determination from the company's management and employees as well as investors. 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.

Our values:
- Accountability
- Empowerment
- Innovation
- Customer
Our working principle: Our principle is to put people first in everything we do. We want to create solutions that make people's everyday work and life run smoothly and bring a smile to their faces.
Our long-term financial goals:
- To achieve annual growth of about 20 percent, of which majority is intended to be achieved by organic growth
- To achieve about 20 percent EBITDA in relation to the net sales
- To keep the cash flow positive and secure good financial standing in all situations.
Innofactor’s net sales in the first quarter were EUR 17.8 million (2020: 17.2), which shows an increase of 3.8 percent compared to the previous year. During the first quarter, Finland accounted for all of the growth, but starting from the second quarter, we expect to also achieve growth outside Finland, where COVID-19 had a negative impact on net sales in 2020. The strategic goal of getting the net sales to grow is also supported by the record-breaking order backlog of EUR 68.9 million (2020: 54.1). In 2021, Innofactor will pay special attention to management of growth, sales, expertise and resourcing, in connection with which we have revised our organization, among other measures. Martin Söderlind started in the new Chief Innovation and Talent Officer role in April 2021.
The operating margin (EBITDA) grew in the review period by 138.0 percent from the previous year and was EUR 4.7 million (26.2 percent of the net sales). Without the divestment of the Prime business, the operating margin would have grown by 7.3 percent in the review period and would have been EUR 2.1 million (11.8 percent of the net sales). As regards profitability (excluding the Prime divestment), Innofactor was able to improve its performance slightly, but some effort is still needed in order to reach the long-term goal of approximately 20 percent.
Innofactor’s operating cash flow in the review period of January 1–March 31, 2021, was EUR 3.6 million (2020: EUR 3.1 million) and the equity ratio at the end of the review period was 46.6 percent (2020: 43.5 percent). The cash flow does not include the income from the Prime divestment, which will be recognized for the second quarter. The strong operating cash flow supports Innofactor’s strategic goal of profitable growth and securing solid financial standing in all situations.

Without the sales gain from the Prime transaction, operating profit would have been EUR 1,252 thousand (7.0% of the net sales).
Acquisitions have been 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

Financial statement summary and appendixes January 1–March 31, 2021 (IFRS)
Accounting policies
Innofactor operates on a single segment, offering software, systems and related services.
This interim report has been drafted in accordance with the IAS 34 Interim financial reporting standard.
The interim report adheres to the same accounting policies and calculation methods as the last annual financial statement 2020. However, as of January 1, 2020, the Group has introduced the new or renewed IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations published by IASB and mentioned in the accounting policies section of the financial report 2020. The principles for calculating the key figures and the calculation formulas have not been changed, and they have been presented in an appendix to this report.
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 results adjusted for the above-mentioned depreciations. Depreciations related to acquisitions, adjusted from the above-mentioned key figures, in the period January 1–March 31, 2021, were EUR 139 thousand (2020: 473).
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 report.
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.
