sees top line growth due to anticipated significant market share gains and the current order backlog.

  • The company will continue its focus on increasing license sales, while evolving its delivery model to an Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) model and continue to increase it in 2025. This will ensure that the company will have more predictable and stable quarter on quarter net sales.

From CEO’s Desk:

Tecnotree Demonstrates SISU in a Pivotal Year: Three Consecutive Quarters of Positive Free Cash Flow & Strong ARR Growth

Resilient Cost Optimisation Amidst Macro Challenges

Tecnotree has successfully navigated foreign exchange volatility and macroeconomic headwinds, leveraging financial discipline and strategic cost optimization to drive sustainable profitability saving EUR 6.9 million against promised EUR 4.5 million previously committed. Our 2024 cost optimisation program has significantly improved operational efficiency, and its impact is evident in our results today - and will continue to strengthen our financial position in 2025. Our cost optimisation initiatives included:

  • Retiring non-telecom business and net sales in the United States that was acquired from Cognitive Scale.
  • Reduction of Capex spend due to technology maturity and availability of Out-of-the-Box features for our customers.
  • Early adoption of AI/ML tooling to generating more productivity and reduced resource dependencies.

Companies Progress to Reduce Frontier Market Exposure

Tecnotree has taken precautionary measures to exit markets which are characterised with geo-political risks, are regions of conflict or that with high risks of sanctions. These regions were a part of the acquisition of Lifetime Convergence Pvt Ltd in 2008 and have continued to cyclically expose the company to unnecessary risk. The following actions have been taken by the management in 2024 to mitigate the same:

  • Exiting subsidiaries and contracts with regards with such regions.
  • In Q4, we incurred one-time provisions of EUR 4.4 million, contributing to a total of EUR 7.3 million for the year 2024, primarily due to a provision for receivables related to the sale of business assets. Excluding these one-offs, the adjusted result for the period shows continued operational strength and strategic progress.
  • The company focused most growth efforts in Tier1 and Dollar denominated markets. Tecnotree’s telecom net sales from the Americas grew by 46% to EUR 14.6 million (10.0)

The Board of Directors may also decide on a free share issue to the company itself. The authorization may be used to finance or carry out acquisitions or other arrangements, strengthen or develop the company's capital structure, diversify the shareholder base, for the purpose of the company's equity-based incentive plans or payment of Board fees or for other purposes decided by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will decide on all terms and conditions of the issuance of shares and special rights entitling to shares under Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act.

The authorization is valid for a period of five (5) years from the date of the Annual General Meeting.

The Board of Directors has exercised this authorization on 12 June 2024 as follows:

  • Tecnotree's Board of Directors resolved to issue, without consideration 700,000 Tecnotree shares to Tecnotree to be later used to fulfil the company's obligations under the LTI Plan 4.
  • Tecnotree's Board of Directors has resolved to issue, without consideration 400,000 Tecnotree shares to Tecnotree to be later used to fulfil the company's obligations for the settlement of Additional RSUs.

Risks and short-term uncertainty factors

Tecnotree's risks and uncertainties in the near future relate to development of net sales, projects delivery timelines, trade receivables and to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Risks and uncertainty factors relating to business operations

Tecnotree focuses on R&D led, product-based solutions for Communication and Digital Service Providers in emerging markets. This involves risks, such as the time to develop new products, the timely market introduction of products, the competitive situations as well as the company's ability to respond to customer and market demand. The company has also noted the impact of inflation on its cost and is taking appropriate measures to mitigate the same.

Dependence on key customers

Tecnotree's two largest customers accounted for 47% of net sales in 2024 (49%). The relationship between the company and its major customers is one of interdependence, which offers business opportunities but also poses risks. However, these relationships have been existing for over 20 years.

Carrying out customer projects, profitability, forecasting

Certain commitments are associated with the project delivery and maintenance agreements made by the company, and unforeseen costs may arise in the future from these agreements. The company aims to limit these commitments with limitation of liability clauses in customer contracts. In addition, the company has a current global liability insurance to cover any liabilities that may materialize in connection with customer projects in accordance with the insurance agreement.

Carrying out projects involves risks. They are contained for example in projects that require new product development, where creating new product features may prove more difficult than anticipated. Another problem with project sales arises from variations in net sales and profit during the different quarters of the year. Forecasting these variations is often difficult.

Risks relating to international operations, receivables and developing markets

Project deliveries result in large accounts receivable. Most of Tecnotree's net sales come from developing countries and some of these contain political and economic challenges. There is the risk of a considerable delay in the payment of invoices in these countries and that Tecnotree will have to record credit losses. Regulation by the authorities of foreign payment transactions and international sanctions hamper operations in certain countries. Various regulations can change frequently and may be ambiguous. In many countries it is common practice to delay payment of invoices. For these reasons forecasting customer payments is often challenging and delays occur.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Foreign Currency Risk

Our operations span across regions where Euro is not readily available or where local currencies experience significant volatility or inflation. Given the nature of our international presence, we have adopted a conservative approach to manage our foreign currency exposure. A significant portion of our net sales is denominated in U.S. dollars, and the exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian Rupee have a notable impact on our net result due to the substantial costs associated with our large workforce in India and other expenses denominated in rupees.

FINANCIAL REPORT 2024


2024

Tecnotree

To mitigate the risk associated with currency fluctuations, we have implemented a comprehensive foreign exchange risk management policy. This policy involves:

  1. Regular Assessment: Conducting frequent evaluations of our currency exposure in each operating country, focusing on both transactional and translational risks.
  2. Diversification of Currency Holdings: Maintaining a diversified portfolio of currency holdings to spread the risk associated with any single currency.
  3. Dynamic Adjustments: Adjusting our hedging strategies in real-time based on changes in currency volatility and market forecasts.
  4. Liquidity Management: Ensuring sufficient liquidity in various currencies to meet operational needs without relying heavily on local currency markets.

Further we will be actively pursuing entering into foreign exchange contracts to hedge a larger portion of our exposure in non-Euro currencies. This includes forward contracts, options, and swaps in currencies of countries where we have significant operations and where the currency is prone to volatility or inflation.

Intra-group receivables and liabilities can result in exchange rate differences in the consolidated income statement, as our Group companies usually have different functional currencies.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to interest rate risk primarily arises from our cash reserves and borrowings. We invest our short-term interest-bearing investments in highly liquid and low-risk instruments, with a focus on diversification to mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations.

As of 31st December 2024, we had 3.9 million (5.7) interest-bearing liabilities. Our borrowing strategy is designed to be flexible, allowing us to respond quickly to changes in interest rates and economic conditions in the countries where we operate. Our borrowings are in multiple currencies, including INR and USD, and any exchange rate fluctuations will affect us.

Taxation

Operating in developing markets often involves problems relating to taxation. Local tax legislation can change rapidly and may be subject to conflicting interpretations. It is possible for the tax authorities in different countries to demand taxation of the same revenue. Withholding taxes are often imposed on sales of systems and services and obtaining credit for this in the country receiving the revenue is not a clear case. In Finland

Tecnotree has a large amount of tax-deductible costs from previous fiscal periods, which can be capitalized in taxation.

As a rule, Tecnotree applies the cost-plus method in its transfer pricing. This clarifies the taxable result recorded in different countries.
