Revised outlook 2013
The Company estimates its net sales in 2013 to be slightly lower (3 - 7%) than
the level in previous year (2012: EUR 9.3 million). Earlier, net sales were
estimated to remain on the same level or to grow slightly compared to previous
year. Especially net sales from software rentals and enterprise architecture
consulting are expected to grow, but software license net sales to decrease.
Outlook for operating profit remains unchanged, but the Company details its
estimate. In the January-June 2013 interim report, full year operating profit
was estimated to remain lower than in previous year (2012: EUR 0.9 million),
but to improve significantly from the level in January-June 2013 (EUR 0.2
million). To detail this with additional information, the Company estimates the
full year operating profit margin to be 5 - 8% of net sales.

Starting from the beginning of 2013, the Company has applied certain new or
revised IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations as described in the
Consolidated Financial Statements 2012. The implementation of these new and
revised requirements have not materially impacted the reported figures. For all

QPR Software's business operations consist of software and consulting services
sales. The Company reports income for products and services as follows:
software license sales, software maintenance services, software rentals, and
consulting services.
QPR reports the following business segments: Direct and OEM business (software
license and rental sales, maintenance and consulting services sales to direct
customers and OEM customers) and Resellers (software license and rental sales,
maintenance and consulting services sales through resellers and the Russian
subsidiary).
REVIEW BY THE CEO
”After fast and profitable growth in 2012, the development of QPR Software's
business operations has been twofold during the current year. Our new
businesses have continued their fast growth, but we have declining net sales in
our traditional reseller business that is offering software for performance
management. The decline is especially due to lower software license sales than
in the previous year. Higher net sales from software rentals have not fully
compensated for the decline in license net sales.
Our new businesses are software and consulting businesses based on enterprise
architecture, and the process analysis business. The combined organic growth
for these businesses has been over 20% during this year, and they have grown to
represent approximately half of QPR's net sales. The unsatisfactory development
in our traditional business and in the demand for technical consulting has,
however, led to a slight 4% decline in QPR's total net sales in
January-September.
The development of our expenses has been moderate in January-September, despite
outlays in our growth businesses, which is why our profitability estimate for
2013 remains unchanged in spite of lower estimate for net sales. To detail our
estimate with additional information, we expect the full year operating profit
margin to be 5 - 8% of net sales.
Based on the rapid growth of our new businesses, we estimate that net sales
will return to a growth path already next year. Our target is to reach a 15%
annual organic and profitable growth in 2014 - 2016, on the average. The
Company's strategy has been updated during this fall, according to which we
will concentrate on four strategic targets in 2014 - 2016:
-- We will expand the international reseller channel for our new software
products (QPR EnterpriseArchitect ja QPR ProcessAnalyzer). The customer
benefits from these software and related services correspond well to the
essential needs of the European organizations, which is our main market. In
the current tight economic situation, these needs include especially the
capability to streamline business operations, the flexibility to change
structures and to manage operations in accordance with developing
strategies.
-- In Finland, we will continue to grow our enterprise architecture business,
especially by focusing on consulting our customer organizations in their
operational development. Our expanding customer base in consulting also
creates a solid foundation for increasing the sales of our QPR
EnterpriseArchitect software.
-- In our software offering, we will concentrate on the operational
development needs of our customers. We will further integrate our software
offering and increase its scalability. We will deepen and widen our service
offering especially in enterprise architecture and process analysis
consulting. We aim to differentiate ourselves from our competitors
especially through our know-how in metrics, process analysis and SAP.
-- In the traditional performance management business, we will focus our
efforts on developing replicable solutions based on the strengths of our
software products. These solutions are offered to our reseller partners to
boost the sales of our software.”

NET SALES
Net sales in the third quarter were EUR 1,961 thousand (2,011) and decreased 2%
from the corresponding period of the previous year. Net sales decreased due to
a clear decline in software license sales and maintenance services, which was
not fully compensated by the continued strong growth in software rental net
sales. Approximately one third of the 11% decline in net sales from software
maintenance services was due to strengthening of the euro against main export
currencies (U.S. dollar, South African rand, and Japanese yen).
Net sales in January-September were EUR 6,377 thousand (6,628) and decreased 4%
from the corresponding period of the previous year.

New software sales by QPR are increasingly made through software rentals rather
than perpetual license sales, which is reflected as decline in software license
net sales and increase in software rental net sales. In Finland, clear majority
of new sales are made on a rental basis. Internationally, however, the
transition is still ongoing.
In the third quarter, software license net sales decreased 34%. Net sales from
software maintenance services declined 11%, partly due to exchange rate
changes. Net sales from consulting services increased 2%. Net sales from
enterprise architecture consulting grew strongly, whereas net sales from
technical consulting decreased.
Total recurring revenue (net sales from software maintenance services and
software rentals) grew 2% in the third quarter. The growth in recurring
revenues was slowed down by exchange rate changes in maintenance service
revenues. The share of recurring revenue of total net sales was 60% (58) in the
third quarter.
Net sales by product group in January-September developed similarly as in the
third quarter.

from software and services aiming at developing enterprise architecture. Net
sales from technical consulting decreased.
Net sales in the Resellers business decreased 11% in the third quarter,
primarily due to decline in software license net sales and exchange rate
changes in maintenance service revenues.

The Group's operating profit in the third quarter increased slightly from the
previous year, although net sales were slightly lower than in the previous
year.
Operating profit in the Direct and OEM business declined in the third quarter
compared to the previous year, due to continued outlays in the growth
businesses. Operating profit in the Resellers business increased, as credit
losses of EUR 15 thousand (53) included in the results were lower than in the
previous year.
The Group's expenses in the third quarter declined 4%, mainly due to lower
credit losses. Personnel expenses in the third quarter were on the previous
year's level and were 68% of total expenses (65).
Net financial expenses in the third quarter were EUR 3 thousand (net financial
income EUR 4 thousand). Net financial expenses included foreign exchange losses
of EUR 1 thousand (gains of EUR 7 thousand). Profit before taxes in the third
quarter was EUR 167 thousand (169). Income taxes in the third quarter were EUR
25 thousand (17). Profit for the quarter was EUR 142 thousand (152). Earnings

In January-September, operating profit in the Direct and OEM business declined
due to increased outlays in the growth businesses. Operating profit in the
Resellers business declined due to lower net sales. Operating profit for the
Resellers business in January-September includes credit losses of EUR 36
thousand (202). The Group's profit before taxes in January-September was EUR
347 thousand (562). Income taxes were EUR 52 thousand (137). The Group's
effective tax rate is lower than in the previous year, since the Company
expects to be able to utilize an additional tax deduction on research and
development activities, valid for years 2013 - 2014 in Finland. Earnings per
share were EUR 0.024 (0.035).

new process analysis service based on QPR ProcessAnalyzer software. The
companies have agreed on cooperation, where JobRouter will use QPR
ProcessAnalyzer software in fact-based visualizing and analysis of their

In April, QPR Software published an agreement with CGI, the leading IT and
business process services company, for a new process analysis service based on
QPR ProcessAnalyzer software product. With the service, CGI will be able to
show their customers the real state of their processes and help support them in

In April, after a tender competition, Hansel Oy, the central procurement unit
of the Finnish Government, elected QPR Software as one of the frame agreement
providers of management consulting services for years 2013-2017. The frame

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 1, 2013, QPR Software released version 4.5 of its QPR
ProcessAnalyzer software. The latest version enables continuous process
analytics by providing automated ETL (Extract, Transform, Load)
functionalities. This supports the transition from one-off analyses to
real-time monitoring of process performance that can be used, for example, to
optimize order-to-delivery process. Through continuous automated process
analysis, companies have good visibility over their process efficiency and
operations.
On October 8, 2013, QPR Software announced the signing with the Finnish Tax
Administration of a frame agreement on management consulting services until the

SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Internal control and risk management in QPR Software aims to ensure that the
Company operates efficiently and effectively, distributes reliable information,
complies with regulations and operational principles, reaches its strategic
goals, reacts to changes in the market and operational environment, and ensures
the continuity of its business.
QPR has identified the following four groups of risks related to its
operations: risks related to business operations (country, customer, service
delivery, personnel, legal and financial risks as well as risks related to the
Company's resellers), risks related to information and products (QPR products,
IPR, data security), risks related to financing (foreign currency, bad debt),
and risks related to new businesses (growth of new business, product
development investments in new business). The Company has an insurance policy
for property, operational and liability risks. The Company monitors country,
customer, personnel and finance risks also in the Russian subsidiary OOO QPR
Software.
Financial risks include reasonable credit risk concerning individual business
partners, which is characteristic to any international business. QPR seeks to
limit this credit risk by continuous monitoring of standard payment terms,
receivables and credit limits. The escalated economic crisis in the euro area
has, according to management's estimate, to some extent increased the credit
risk that has earlier remained on a moderate level, and has resulted in
increased credit losses. During the current year, however, the amount of credit
losses and overdue receivables has been clearly lower than in the previous
year. In January-September, EUR 36 thousand (202) of credit losses were
recorded. The amount of trade receivables over 60 days past due was 9% (11) of
total trade receivables at the end of the quarter.
Approximately 65% of Group's trade receivables were in euro at the end of the
quarter. At the end of the quarter, the Company had not hedged its foreign
currency (non-euro) trade receivables.
No significant changes have taken place in the Company's short-term risks and
uncertainties during January-September. Risks and risk management related to
the Company's business are further described in the Annual Report 2012, pages
14-15 (www.qpr.com/investors/key-figures-and-reports.htm).

NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ACCOUNTING PRICIPLES
This report complies with requirements of IAS 34 ”Interim Financial Reporting”.
Starting from the beginning of 2013, the Company has applied certain new or
revised IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations as described in the
Consolidated Financial Statements 2012. The implementation of these new and
revised requirements have not materially impacted the reported figures. For all
other parts, the accounting and valuation principles are the same as they were
in the 2012 financial statements.
When preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to
make estimates and assumptions regarding the future and to consider the
appropriate application of accounting principles, which means that actual
results may differ from those estimated.
All amounts presented in this report are consolidated figures, unless otherwise
noted. The amounts presented in the report are rounded, so the sum of
individual figures may differ from the sum reported. This report is unaudited.
During the reporting period, the Group did not have any financial instruments
measured at fair value.
