Solteq Group's operating profit is expected to grow clearly compared to the financial year 2018.
Solteq Group's revenue for the first three quarters came to 42.6 million euros, up by 1.5 percent. Approximately a quarter of this revenue came from outside Finland. The revenue of overseas subsidiaries increased considerably. Continuous services accounted for about a third of revenue.

Operating profit for the third quarter was below the company's expectations. This was due to the postponement of certain customer projects to the fourth quarter. The largest postponed project was the Finnish Customs' cash payment system, which is based on Solteq's own software. Solteq has announced the deal in a separate press release on August 15, 2019. The value of the postponed order was worth more than 300,000 euros.
In the third quarter, the company won tenders worth more than 2 million euros for its software and the related services. In addition to the deal with Finnish Customs, major commercial successes included the new customer service system for Korpelan Voima joint municipal authority. The system is compliant with the national data hub, and consists of customer service and invoicing for electricity sales and transfers, and district heating.
Solteq continued to invest in the development of its own cloud-based software products and services. Product development investment in the third quarter totaled 0.9 million euros. Product development investments are expected to reach around 3.7 million euros by the end of the year. Investments to product development during the review period enabled strong growth in sales of Solted's own products. The company expects its positive sales trend to continue.
The Group's order intake continued to develop positively in Q3, improving considerably compared to the same period last year. The business outlook has remained the company's profitability is expected to improve.
We are specialized in digitalization of businesses. Our strengths lie in our long-term experience of the industries for which we develop solutions. Retail, industry, energy, and services are the key industries we are focused in.
Our operations include project-specific and continuous professional services as well as industryspecific software products. The common denominator between these services is the in-depth industry expertise we have developed during Solteg's 37 years of operations. Our technology choices are based on growing market trends, such as cloud services, SaaS, artificial intelligence, analytics and robotics.
Digitalization is emerging as a key aspect in organizations. Digital solutions are expected to generate concrete and quantifiable business benefits. Such solutions include for example digital self-service channels, market rollouts of new electronic services, e-commerce, the productive use of a continuously growing amount of data and the automation of manual operations. Translating technical innovations into practical customer value is the foundation of future success.
Enterprises are moving to cloud services at an accelerating pace. Gartner estimates that the global cloud services market will grow by 17.3% and reach 180 billion euros in 2019. Microsoft and Amazon are the market leaders in this sector
SaaS (Software as a Service) has become an integral aspect of today's business. According to a report published by Business Wire, the global SaaS market is expected to grow by 21.2% by 2023.
SaaS Smart Robotics plays a significant role in our product development. The industry is seeing significant growth and various studies estimate it will grow at an annual rate of approximately 30% (CAGR) to approach a milestone of 10 billion euros by 2023.
Robotics and artificial intelligence are changing the society. A good example of this is the national ROSE project in Finland, which explores how the advancement in service robotics will enable product and service innovation as well as the renewal of wellbeing services, particularly in response to the needs of the ageing population. Robotics will also create new jobs and it is predicted that the number of new jobs it creates will exceed the number of jobs it makes redundant.

Solteq Group has applied the IFRS 16 Leases -standard effective from January 1, 2019. The standard is implemented using the modified retrospective approach, in which the comparative figures for prior financial periods have not been restated. The impact of the Group's opening balance has been demonstrated below in the section "New IFRS 16 Leases -standard effective from 1 January 2019". The present value of the remaining unpaid lease liabilities of contracts which were in effect on January 1, 2019, that were previously classified as operating leases, was recognized as a liability. At the time of implementation of the standard, the amount of the lease liability was recognized as a right-ofuse asset, and the implementation had no impact on the Group's equity.
The new standard replaced the IAS 17 -standard and related interpretations. IFRS 16 -standard requires lessees to recognize the lease agreements in the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The accounting model is similar to finance lease accounting in accordance with IAS 17. There are two practical exemptions available: short-term leases with a maximum lease term of 12 months, and leases for a maximum value of approximately USD 5,000 of the underlying asset. The lessor accounting treatment remains mostly in line with the previous IAS 17 accounting.
Solteq is a lessee and mainly leases business premises. The implementation of the new standard changed the accounting treatment of these leases. In addition, the Group has leased assets under finance leases. These assets have been recognized in the balance sheet already in the previous financial periods and the implementation of the standard has no material impact to the financial leases. Solteq applies the exemption for short-term leases allowed under the IFRS 16 -standard as well as the exemption for low value assets on a contractual basis. Solteq is not a lessor at the moment.
According to IFRS 16 -standard, the lessee's lease period during which the lease cannot be terminated. Also, a potential extension or termination option should be considered, if the use of such option is judged to be reasonably certain. The lease agreements for premises are mainly fixed term. The lease term for ongoing contracts will be regularly assessed by Solteg's management, and the length of the lease term is based on management's estimate.
The lessee should value the lease agreement by discounting the future minimum lease payments to the present value at the inception of the contract. The internal interest rate implicit in the lease is not readly available, the future minimum lease payments are discounted using Solted's incremental borrowing rate. According to the standard, the incremental borrowing rate is defined as the interest that the lessee would have to pay when borrowing for the similar term and with s similar security to obtain an asset of an equivalent value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. Solteq determines the incremental borrowing rate for leases based on the financial environment of the lease.
The impact of IFRS 16 to the consolidated statement of financial income has been presented in the tables at the end of this Interim report.

Solteq uses alternative performance measures to describe the company's underlying financial performance and to improve the comparability between review periods. The alternative performance measures should not be regarded as indicators that replace the financial key figures as defined in IFRS standards.
Performance measures used by Solteq Group are EBITDA, equity ratio, gearing, return on equity, return on investment and net debt. The calculation principles of these financial key figures are presented as part of this interim report. The performance measures presented as rolling 12 months include the total figures of the past four quarters.
