TELESTE CORPORATION INTERIM REPORT 30.04.15 AT 08:30

TELESTE CORPORATION INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY TO 31 MARCH 2015

SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN NET SALES, PROFIT AND ORDERS RECEIVED

First quarter of 2015
- Net sales amounted to EUR 53.4 (43.5) million, an increase of 22.8%
- Operating profit amounted to EUR 2.6 (1.3) million, an increase of 101.3%
- Undiluted result per share stood at EUR 0.12 (0.05) per share, an increase of
136.5%
- Orders received totalled EUR 56.9 (46.9) million, an increase of 21.2%
- Operating cash flow was EUR -1.2 (1.5) million

Outlook for 2015

We estimate that net sales and operating profit for 2015 will exceed the 2014
level.

Comments on the first quarter of 2015 by CEO Jukka Rinnevaara:"Demand for Teleste's products and services in the first quarter of 2015 in our
key markets has been good. Orders received in the quarter reached Teleste's
all-time high of EUR 56.9 million. The orders received were at a record level
even without the Mitron acquisition. Also net sales and operating profit
clearly exceeded the comparative period. In particular, orders received and net
sales were increased by products in line with the new Docsis 3.1 standard. The
improvement in our operating profit was achieved through organic growth.

Orders received by Video and Broadband Solutions grew strongly. The greatest
growth in demand was registered in optical network products. Along with the
acquisition of Mitron, our net sales was boosted by the sales of access network
products and video security solutions. Orders received by the business area
increased the most in France, Belgium and Israel. The most significant growth
in deliveries was recorded in France, the UK and Belgium. Our good delivery
capability was instrumental in helping us meet the increased demand, and thus
improving the business area's profitability significantly. Early in this year
we carried out the acquisition of Mitron Group Oy Ltd's entire share capital,
which was transferred to the ownership of Teleste. Mitron is a Finnish provider
of public transportation information systems and modern display solutions.
Mitron is ideal for Teleste's strategy and strengthens our presence as a
comprehensive supplier of rail video security and information solutions.

As for Network Services, we were able to improve our operating profit over the
comparative period, although the result was burdened by investments in the
expansion of business in the UK. In Germany, we reached good qualitative
results measured by our customer's standards while achieving the planned
profitability. The volume of our services business has developed positively in
Switzerland, where we increased our net sales significantly from the last
year.”

of net sales. The year-on-year operating profit was improved by the reduced
loss in the UK, where investments in the expansion of the services business
continued. A good operational result was achieved in Germany.

Personnel and Organization in January to March 2015

In the period under review, the Group had an annual average of 1,466 people
(1,262/2014 1,335/2013), of whom 665 (554) were employed by Video and Broadband
Solutions, and 801 (708) by Network Services. At the end of the review period,
the number of people working for the Group was 1,462 (1,260/2014, 1,342/2013),
of whom 68% (71%/2014, 73%/2013) were working outside Finland. Approximately 3%
of the Group's employees were working outside Europe.

Wages, salaries and social expenses increased over the previous year and
amounted to EUR 17.0 (14.0/2014, 14.4/2013) million. This increase in personnel
expenses was due to the acquisition of Mitron and growth in the number of
personnel working for Network Services.

Investments and Product Development in January to March 2015

million accounting for 23.3% (2.1%) of net sales. EUR 11.5 million of these
investments involved the acquisition of Mitron. Investments in product
development equalled EUR 0.3 (0.3) million. Investments of EUR 0.1 (0.1)

Docsis 3.1 standard, network management system, distributed access architecture
and customer-specific projects.

Financing and Capital Structure in January to March 2015

Operating cash flow stood at EUR -1.2 (1.5) million. Operating cash flow was
decreased by growth in net working capital, which resulted from increased
inventories and reduced accounts payable, including changes in the working
capital of Mitron.

In January, Teleste Corporation signed new overdraft and revolving credit
facilities with a total value of EUR 45.0 million. These agreements replaced
the previous ones. The new binding agreements are valid until the end of March
2018. At the end of the period under review, the amount of unused binding
credit facilities amounted to EUR 17.0 (17.0) million.

The Group's equity ratio equalled 49.0% (53.7%) and net gearing 21.9% (12.3%).
On 31 March 2015, the Group's interest-bearing debt stood at EUR 30.5 (24.2)
million.

Key Risks by the Business Areas

Founded in 1954, Teleste is a technology and services company consisting of two
business areas - Video and Broadband Solutions and Network Services. With
Europe as the main market area, our clients include European cable operators
and specified organisations in the public sector.

As to Video and Broadband Solutions, client-specific and integrated deliveries
of solutions create favourable conditions for growth, even if the involved
resource allocation and technical implementation pose a challenge involving,
therefore, also reasonable risks. Our customers' network investments vary based
on the relevant need for upgrading and their financial structure. Significant
part of Teleste's competition comes from the USA so the exchange rate of euro
up against the US dollar affects our competitiveness. The exchange rate
development of the US dollar and the Chinese renminbi to the euro affects our
product costs.

The company hedges against short-term currency exposure by means of forward
exchange contracts. The situation in the European financial markets may slow
down our customers' investment plans. Furthermore, a weakening in the consumer
purchasing power in Europe could slow down the network investments by the cable
operators. Competition increased by the new service providers (OTT) may
undermine the cable operators' ability to invest. Availability of components is
subject to natural phenomena, such as floods and earthquakes. Correct
technological choices and their timing are vital for our success. Regardless of
careful planning and quality assurance, complex products may fail in the
customer's network and lead to expensive repair obligations.

Net sales of Network Services comes, for the most part, from a small number of
large European customers, so a significant change in the demand for our
services by any one of them is reflected in the actual deliveries and
profitability. To ensure quality of services and cost-efficiency along with
efficient service process management, customer satisfaction and improvements in
productivity require innovative solutions in terms of processes, products and
logistics. Smooth operation of cable networks requires effective technical
management and functional hardware solutions in accordance with contractual
obligations. This, in turn, demands continuous and determined development of
skills and competencies in Teleste's own personnel as well as those of our
subcontractors. In addition, Teleste's ability to deliver and compete may be
constrained by the adequacy of our own personnel and our sub-contractor network
capacity. Tender calculation and management of larger projects with overall
responsibility are complex and include risks. Severe weather conditions may
affect the supply conditions of our products and services.

Teleste's strategy involves risks and uncertainties - new business
opportunities may fail to be identified or they cannot be acted upon
successfully. It is important for our business areas to take into account any
market developments such as consolidations taking place among the clientele and
competition. Intensifying competition may decrease the prices of products and
solutions faster than we manage to reduce our products' manufacturing and
delivery costs. Various information systems are critical to the development,
manufacturing and supply of products to our customers. Maintenance of
information systems and deployment of new systems involve risks that may affect
our ability to deliver products and services. Information systems may also be
subject to external threats, from which we aim to protect ourselves.
Acquisition of skilled personnel and maintenance of their competence require
encouragement, development and recruitment, which can fail.

The Board of Directors annually reviews any essential risks related to the
company operation and their management. Risk management is an integral part of
the strategic and operational activities of the business areas. Risks are
reported to the Board on a regular basis.

The company has covered any major risks of loss involving the business areas
through insurance policies. Insurance will also cover credit loss risks related
to sales receivables. In the period under review, no such legal proceedings or
judicial procedures were pending that would have had any essential significance
for the Group operation.

Group Structure

Parent company Teleste has branch offices in Australia, the Netherlands, and
Denmark with subsidiaries in 14 countries outside Finland. Teleste Management
II Oy, founded in December 2011, has been consolidated in the Teleste Group
figures on account of financial arrangements.

Shares and Changes in Share Capital

On 31 March 2015, EM Group Oy was the largest single shareholder with a holding
of 23.2%.

In the period under review, the lowest company share price was EUR 5.32 (4.25)
and the highest was EUR 7.38 (4.86). Closing price on 31 March 2015 stood at
EUR 6.94 (4.53). According to Euroclear Finland Ltd the number of shareholders

March 2015 was 1.1 (0.8) million. The value of this exchange amounted to EUR
7.5 (3.6) million.

In January, the Company transferred 56,924 shares as part of the purchase price
in the context of the acquisition of the entire share capital of Mitron Group
Oy Ltd by Teleste Corporation. In February, the Company transferred 73,644
shares in a directed free share issue constituting part of Teleste
Corporation's 2012 long-term incentive plan.

At the end of March 2015, the Group held 1,059,086 of its own shares, of which
the parent company Teleste Corporation had 517,086 shares and the controlled
companies had 542,000 shares, respectively. At the end of the period, the
Group's holding of the total amount of shares amounted to 5.6% (6.3%).

On 31 March 2015, the registered share capital of Teleste stood at EUR
6,966,932.80 divided in 18,985,588 shares.

Valid authorizations at the end of the review period:
- Purchases of own shares: maximum 1,200,000 of the Company's own shares, valid
until 30 September 2015.
- Issue of new shares: maximum 4,000,000 shares, valid until 31 March 2017.

31 March 2017.
- Based on the special rights granted by the Company, the number of shares to
subscribe may not exceed 2,500,000 shares; these special rights are included in
the maximum warrants concerning new shares and the Group's own shares mentioned
above. This authorization is valid until 31 March 2017.

Events after the end of the review period

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Teleste Corporation held on 9 April 2015
confirmed the financial statements for 2014 and discharged the Board of
Directors and the CEO from liability for the financial period. The AGM
confirmed the dividend of EUR 0.20 per share proposed by the Board. The
dividend was paid out on 20 April 2015.

The AGM decided that the Board of Directors consists of six members. Mr. Pertti
Ervi, Ms. Jannica Fagerholm, Mr. Esa Harju, Ms. Marjo Miettinen, Mr. Kai
Telanne and Mr. Petteri Walldén were re-elected as members of Teleste
Corporation's Board of Directors. Ms. Marjo Miettinen was elected Chair of the
Board in the organisational meeting held immediately after the AGM.

Authorized Public Accountants KPMG Oy Ab continues as the auditor until the
next AGM. Mr. Esa Kailiala, accountant authorized by the Central Chamber of
Commerce of Finland, was chosen auditor-in-charge.

The Annual General Meeting decided to authorize the Board of Directors to
decide on repurchasing the Company's own shares as proposed by the Board. Based
on this authorization, the Board of Directors may repurchase a maximum of
1,200,000 own shares of the Company otherwise than in proportion to the
holdings of the shareholders by using the non-restricted equity through
regulated market on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd at the market price prevailing at
the time of acquisition. This authorization of purchasing is valid for 18
months from the date of the decision.

Outlook for 2015

The business objective of Video and Broadband Solutions is to maintain its
strong market position in Europe and to strengthen this market position in
selected new markets outside Europe. Network capacity will continue to
increase, driven by the new broadband and video services provided by the
operators. Our new products in line with the Docsis 3.1 communication standard
allow the cable operators to increase their network capacity competitively.
Price erosion in the market continues. Changes in the value of the euro,
particularly against the US dollar and the Chinese renminbi, affect Teleste's
competitiveness, on the one hand, and product manufacturing costs, on the
other. The positive trend in the video security and rail information markets
continue, but the public sector decisions concerning initiation of projects may
be delayed by the current economic situation. In addition to organic growth, we
estimate the Mitron acquisition to increase our net sales by more than EUR 22
million and its impact on our operating profit to be positive.

As to Network Services, our business objective is to further develop the
operational efficiency and increase the share of those services that provide
our customers with higher value. In line with this objective, we will continue
to expand the new services business in the UK. We estimate the demand for
all-inclusive network services in our key target markets to continue at least
at the previous year's level.

We estimate that net sales and operating profit for 2015 will exceed the 2014
level.
