Tecnotree Interim report

TECNOTREE CORPORATION INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY – 30 SEPTEMBER 2012 (UNAUDITED)

31 October 2012 at 8:30 am

Tecnotree is a global supplier of telecom IT solutions, providing products and services for charging, billing, customer care, and messaging and content services. The company's product portfolio comprises virtually the full range of business management systems for telecom operators, with standard solutions for fixed networks, mobile services and broad band and for managing subscriptions, services and cash flows for prepaid and post-paid customers. Tecnotree has a strong footing especially in developing markets.

GROWTH IN NET SALES, WEAKER RESULT IN THIRD QUARTER

  • Net sales for the nine month review period were EUR 51.0 million (EUR 46.2 million for the same period in the previous year) and the adjusted operating result was EUR -4.6 (0.3) million. The operating result was EUR -8.7 (-7.6) million and the result for the period EUR -10.7 (-8.1) million.
  • Third quarter net sales were EUR 19.7 (17.2) million. The adjusted operating result for the quarter was -0.8 (1.9) million and the result was EUR -3.0 (0.9) million.
  • The decline in the adjusted operating result was due to higher project costs and investments in growth.
  • The order book at the end of the period stood at EUR 59.2 (30 September 2011: 21.0) million. At the end of the previous quarter the order book stood at EUR 58.8 million.
  • Cash flow after investments was EUR -6.3 (-14.6) million.
  • The third quarter cash flow after investments was EUR 7.4 million negative because of the exceptionally low level of customer payments. The company's financial position is tight.
  • On 29 October 2012, Tecnotree changed its prospects for 2012 as follows: Tecnotree estimates that net sales in 2012 will be higher than in 2011. The adjusted operating result is estimated to be negative due to increased costs and foreign exchange losses during the third quarter. The cash flow after investments is expected to improve compared to 2011.

Variations in the quarterly figures will be considerable. The adjusted operating result is the operating result before R&D capitalisation, amortisation of this and one-time costs.

President and CEO Kaj Hagros:

"Net sales in the first nine months of 2012 totalled EUR 51.0 million, which is 10 % more than in the same period in the previous year (EUR 46.2 million). Thanks to the strong demand and record high order book we estimate that net sales will continue to grow. The outlook for our key customer accounts is promising. However, due to the start-up costs for larger projects, longterm R&D investments and exchange rate losses, the adjusted operating result in the third quarter was a loss. Because of this we have to revise our financial guidelines for the whole year. The process of switching from project to solution based business operations in line with the change in strategy is still incomplete, and the aimed for improvement in productivity is still not evident in the latest quarter. The cash flow from operations was weak in the review period, and to improve this we are focusing more strongly on obtaining receivables from customers and on optimising working capital. "

SALES AND NET SALES

Tecnotree's net sales in the review period increased 10.4 per cent to EUR 51.0 (46.2) million. EUR 25.1 million of sales in the review period have been recognised by stage of completion (IAS 11 Construction Contracts) and EUR 25.9 million on delivery (IAS 18 Revenues).

RESULT ANALYSIS

The income and costs recorded for Tecnotree's business operations vary considerably from one quarter to another. For this reason it is important to base an examination of the profitability of the company on the result for more than one quarter.

Tecnotree reports its operating result in two stages: first the adjusted operating result and then the operating result after the capitalisation and amortisation of product development costs and one-time costs.

INCOME STATEMENT, KEY FIGURES, MEUR 1-9/2012 1-9/2011 1-12/2011
Net sales 51.0 46.2 62.3
Other operating income 0.0 0.2 0.2
Operating costs excluding product development capitalisation
and one-time costs -55.6 -46.1 -64.2
Adjusted operating result, MEUR -4.6 0.3 -1.7
Product development capitalisation 0.1 0.1
Product development amortisation -4.1 -5.5 -7.1
One-time costs -2.4 -2.4
Operating result -8.7 -7.6 -11.1
Result before taxes -10.6 -6.7 -9.9

The adjusted operating result was lower than in the period for comparison because of higher costs. The costs for materials and external software in Tecnotree's project sales vary depending on the content of each project. During 2012 these costs have been higher than in 2011. In addition, the company has made a concerted effort to increase net sales, which has raised costs in the supply organisation, sales and development.

During the third quarter, net sales and the adjusted operating result were weakened by exchange rate losses of EUR 1.0 million. Changes in the company's sales organisation resulted in costs of EUR 0.5 million during the quarter.

Taxes for the period totalled EUR 0.1 (1.4) million, including the following items:

TAXES IN INCOME STATEMENT, MEUR 1-9/2012 1-9/2011 1-12/2011
Withholding tax expenses in parent company -1.1 -0.9 -1.6

Earnings per share were EUR -0.11 (-0.10). Equity per share at the end of the period was EUR 0.36 (31 December 2011: EUR 0.58). These key figures have been adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the share issue.

FINANCING AND INVESTMENTS

Tecnotree's liquid funds totalled EUR 3.7 (31 December 2011: 6.7) million. The change in cash and cash equivalents for the review period was EUR -3.0 million.

The balance sheet total on 30 September 2012 stood at EUR 95.3 (31 December 2011: 99.9) million. Interest-bearing liabilities were EUR 26.0 (31 December 2011: 28.1) million. The net debt to equity ratio (net gearing) was 50.7 per cent (31 December 2011: 43.1 %) and the equity ratio was 46.1 per cent (31 December 2011: 50.7 %).

Tecnotree's gross capital expenditure during the review period, excluding the capitalisation of development costs, was EUR 0.8 (0.6) million or 1.6 per cent (1.2 %) of net sales.

Financial income and expenses (net) during the review period totalled EUR -1.9 (0.9) million. The exchange rate gains and losses consist mainly of exchange rate differences from intragroup payables in the parent company.

Tecnotree estimates that its net sales will increase in 2012. To strengthen the balance sheet and improve the Company's liquidity, Tecnotree's Board of Directors decided on 28 May 2012 to carry out a rights offering. The proceeds from the offering amounted to EUR 5.9 million before related fees and expenses. Due to the reorganising of financing, financial costs were significantly higher in the review period than in the period for comparison.

In July the company agreed on a EUR 5.0 million credit facility for financing working capital agreed. It plans to use this facility during the fourth quarter.

Payments from project sales vary depending on the progress made in the projects and on how the payment instalments have been agreed. The third quarter cash flow after investments was EUR 7.4 million negative because of exceptionally low customer payments. During the first six months this cash flow was EUR 1.1 million positive, so for the nine month period it was EUR 6.3 million negative. The company's financial situation is tight. The lender has agreed to the postponement of repayment instalments on the company's loan, so that the instalments are paid during the fourth quarter.

Tecnotree has overdue receivables totalling EUR 7.7 million from a customer owned by the government of Libya, and impairment of EUR 5.3 million was recognised prior to the current review period. The company is still negotiating with the customer and its state owner on payment of the receivables. The company believes that at least the net value in the balance sheet for the receivable of EUR 2.4 million will be obtained.

BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Tecnotree is a global supplier of telecom IT solutions, providing products, services and solutions for charging, billing, customer care, and messaging and content services. The company's product portfolio comprises virtually the full range of business management systems for telecom operators, with standard solutions for fixed networks, mobile services and broad band and for managing subscriptions, services and cash flows for prepaid and post-paid customers. Tecnotree's solutions enable communication service providers to expand their business by creating digital market places, individual service packages and personalised subscriptions, and increase added value throughout their customers' life cycles.

Tecnotree's business is based on solution project sales, system maintenance and on customising, support and operating services. Tecnotree has a strong footing especially in developing markets such as Latin America, Africa and the Middle East.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

The operating segments under IFRS 8 reported by Tecnotree are the geographical areas, which are Americas (North, Central and South America), Europe, MEA (Middle East and Africa), and APAC (Asia Pacific). This is because their results are monitored separately in the company's internal financial reporting. Tecnotree's chief operating decision maker, as referred to in IFRS 8, is the Group's management board. Net sales for the operating segments are presented based on the location of customers.

GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS

Tecnotree Group operates in the following geographical areas: Americas (North, Central and South America), Europe, MEA (Middle East and Africa) and APAC (Asia Pacific).

Americas (North, Central and South America)

Net sales in the Americas rose more than 36 % from the corresponding period in the previous year, and the order book is more than ten times as high. Prospects in the area are positive, with active demand for replacing critical business support systems. Sales in the area comprise expansions and upgrades of solutions installed for current customers, the renewal of annual maintenance contracts, and partial implementation of new orders. The company has succeeded in selling in the area business support systems and services that are part of its strategic core business. The area offers the company significant growth potential.

Europe

Net sales in Europe declined some 6 % from the corresponding period in the previous year. Low sales in the third quarter are due to normal seasonal fluctuation and do not represent a permanent reduction in sales. The order book fell by almost one third. In Europe Tecnotree supplied completely new systems and expansions of existing systems, mainly to existing customers.

MEA (Middle East and Africa)

Sales in the Middle East and Africa declined 4 % from the corresponding period in the previous year, but continued to grow clearly in the third quarter. The order book stands at the same level as in the previous last year. Tecnotree has an extremely broad customer base in the MEA region and the business of its customers is growing, so the company has considerable growth potential in the region. Implementation of Tecnotree's new strategy has made encouraging progress in the area.

APAC (Asia and Pacific)

Net sales in the APAC region declined 17 % from the corresponding period in the previous year. Sales focused on established products to existing customers. The order book is clearly down on the previous year. There has been a delay in implementing Tecnotree's new strategy in the area.

PERSONNEL

At the end of Septemeber 2012 Tecnotree employed 1,131 (31 December 2011: 926) persons, of whom 91 (31 December 2011: 80) worked in Finland and 1,040 (31 December 2011: 846) elsewhere.

The company employed on average 1,054 (906) people during the review period. Personnel by country were as follows:

The authorisation was fully used in the rights offering carried out in the review period.

RIGHTS OFFERING

Based on the authorisations granted by the Extraordinary General Meeting of 28 May 2012 and the Annual General Meeting of 28 March 2012, the Board of Directors of Tecnotree decided on 28 May 2012 on a rights offering of approximately EUR 5.9 million such that the shareholders of Tecnotree had a pre-emptive right to subscribe for new shares in proportion to their current shareholding in Tecnotree.

The proceeds from the rights offering amounted to EUR 5.9 million before related fees and expenses. The shares subscribed in the offering were registered with the Trade Register on 29 June 2012 and trading in the new shares commenced on 2 July 2012.

Time based 1,140,006 1,040,719
Total based on original
option program 3,420,018 1,917,511

The stock options are part of the incentive and commitment scheme for key personnel.

Due to the share issue carried out during the review period and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 2009 option program, the Board of Directors decided to increase the number of shares to be subscribed with the 2009C time based options by multiplying the number of shares to be subscribed by 1.2745.

On 30 September 2012 the Company held 1,529,761 of all the current stock options. The issued stock options had a maximum diluting effect on 30 September 2012 of 1.76 %.

During the review period the Company had a current incentive scheme that the Board of Directors had established on 25 October 2011. Any reward in the scheme for the 2012 earning period is based on Tecnotree Group's earnings per share (EPS), adjusted operating profit and the Company's trade weighted average share price in December 2012, as well as on fulfilling the requirement to purchase shares. No reward will be paid for the 2012 earning period if the Group's cash flow in the 2012 financial year is negative. Share purchases under the scheme by members of the Management Board were made during the first quarter of the year.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS

The risks and uncertainty factors for Tecnotree are explained in the 2011 Board of Directors' Report and in the listing prospectus for the share issue in June.

Tecnotree's risks and uncertainties in the near future relate to major projects that are in progress or under negotiation, to the timing of these and progress made in them, to receivables, to changes in foreign exchange rates and to financing.

EVENTS AFTER THE END OF PERIOD

At the beginning of October Tecnotree sold a vacant plot of land close to its head office to the City of Espoo. The selling price was EUR 980,000. The sale also released the company from its obligation to build on the land. In connection with this, at the end of September the company had a short-term loan of EUR 450,000 which was paid off with the funds received from the sale of the plot of land.

PROSPECTS IN 2012

In Tecnotree's previous interim report, the prospects for 2012 were stated as follows:

Tecnotree estimates that net sales and the operating result in 2012 will be better than in 2011. The adjusted operating result is estimated to be positive. Variations in the quarterly figures will be considerable. The cash flow after investments is also expected to improve compared to 2011. The adjusted operating result is the operating result before R&D capitalisation, amortisation of this and one-time costs.

In accordance with the press release published on 29 October 2012, the prospects for 2012 are now as follows:

Tecnotree estimates that net sales in 2012 will be higher than in 2011. The adjusted operating result is estimated to be negative due to increased costs and foreign exchange losses during the third quarter. The cash flow after investments is expected to improve compared to 2011.

Variations in the quarterly figures will be considerable. The adjusted operating result is the operating result before R&D capitalisation, amortisation of this and one-time costs.

1. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES FOR THE INTERIM REPORT

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IFRS reporting and evaluation principles and applying the same accounting principles as in the previous annual financial statements, but not complying with all the requirements of IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The new and revised IFRS regulations that came into force on 1 January 2012 have not had a significant impact on the accounting principles and basis for preparing the interim report.

2. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The operating segments under IFRS 8 reported by Tecnotree are the geographical areas, which are Americas (North, Central and South America), Europe, MEA (Middle East and Africa), and APAC (Asia Pacific). This is because their results are monitored separately in the company's internal financial reporting. Tecnotree's chief operating decision maker, as referred to in IFRS 8, is the Group's management board. Net sales for the operating segments are presented based on the location of customers.
