Outlook 2012

We estimate that the 2012 net sales and operating profit will increase from the level of 2011.

 

Comments on Q3 of 2012 by CEO Jukka Rinnevaara:

“Teleste’s orders received, net sales and operating profit fell short of the reference period. Investments in increased network capacity made by the customers of Video and Broadband Solutions leveled off. In our assessment, this slowdown in the investments was contributed by the active investment period preceding the big sporting events and the uncertainty in the European economic situation. In order to maintain its cost-effectiveness in an uncertain environment, Teleste has decided to initiate adaptation measures in compliance with the Act on Co-operation within Undertakings. We pursue to carry out these adaptation measures without compromising any future growth prospects.

Cable operators’ business in Europe has developed favorably and the demand for increased cable network capacity is still there in the long term.

Network Services’ year-on-year net sales decreased. This decrease in net sales was due to a reduction in the deliveries of fiber-optic projects.

Operating cash flow was decreased by a few fairly large outstanding sales receivables.”

 

Group Operations in July to September 2012

Orders received by the Group in the third quarter totaled EUR 40.5 (43.8) million, which is 7.2% below the reference period. The order backlog was EUR 13.6 (21.4) million, i.e. 36.4% below the reference period.

Net sales decreased by 2.9% to EUR 45.6 (47.0) million. Year-on-year operating profit fell by 24.4% standing at EUR 2.9 (3.8) million, which is 6.3% (8.1%) of net sales. The year-on-year materials margin was slightly better. Wages and salaries amounted to EUR 13.3 (13.1) million while taxes stood at EUR 1.1 (1.1) million. Tax rate rose to 36.2% due to the growth in the Parent Company’s tax accrual. Undiluted result per share was EUR 0.11 (0.15). Operating cash flow stood at EUR -0.2 (-0.5) million. Cash flow was weakened by a few fairly large outstanding sales receivables.

Personnel and Organization in January to September 2012

In the period under review, the Group had an annual average of 1,326 people (1,290/2011 1,221/2010), of whom 568 (562) were employed by Video and Broadband Solutions, and 758 (728) by Network Services, respectively. At the end of the review period, the figure totaled 1,308 (1,311/2011, 1,231/2010) of whom 73% (72%/2011, 68%/2010) were stationed overseas. Employees stationed outside Europe accounted for less than 5% of the Group’s personnel.

The year-on-year wages and salaries increased by 12.0% and totaled EUR 43.8 (39.1/January to September/2011, 36.7/January to September/2010) million. This increase in wages and salaries was mainly attributable to the growth in personnel in Network Services, accruals of remuneration schemes and union-specific pay increases based on collective agreements.

At the end of the review period, rented workforce in Finland was 15 (24). Temporary labor costs are included in the cost of materials and services.

Investments in January to September 2012

Investments by the Group for the period under review totaled EUR 2.5 (5.2) million accounting for 1.7% (4.0%) of net sales. Investments in product development equaled EUR 0.6 (2.1) million. R&D investments decreased, mainly because the projects focused on research of future product platforms, further development of product platforms and short-term customer projects. Other investments involved information systems, as well as machinery and equipment for production and services. As to these investments, EUR 0.8 (0.4) million were carried out under financial lease arrangements. Investments in the comparative period included the extension investment of the company business premises of EUR 1.0 million. 

Financing and Capital Structure in January to September 2012

Operating cash flow stood at EUR 10.2 (-2.4) million. This improvement in the operating cash flow over the comparative period was mainly due to higher EBITDA, as well as a decrease in inventories. Moreover, the impact created by the change in payment terms of our German main customer was weakened. At the end of the period under review, the amount of unused binding stand-by credits amounted to EUR 16.0 (7.5) million. These stand-by credits have been revised and the current binding stand-by credit facilities of EUR 40.0 million are valid until August 2015.

The Group’s equity ratio equaled 47.5% (41.4%) while net gearing stood at 21.7% (44.1%). Interest bearing debt on 30 September 2012 stood at EUR 25.1 (33.4) million.

Essential Operational Risks of 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 most significant clients include European cable operators and selected organizations in the public sector.

As to Video and Broadband Solutions, client-specific and integrated deliveries of solutions create favorable 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 their given 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. Also the exchange rate development of the Chinese renminbi to euro affects our material costs. The company hedges against short-term currency exposure by means of forward contracts. The tight financial market in Europe may slow down our customers’ investment plans. Availability of components is subject to natural phenomena, such as floods and earthquakes. Correct technological choices and their timing are vital for our success.

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 services by any one of them is reflected in our actual deliveries. 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 skill levels in Teleste’s own personnel as well as those of our subcontractors. In addition, our ability to deliver and compete may be constrained by the adequacy of our sub-contractor network capacity. Tender calculation and management of larger projects involving overall responsibility is complex and risky.

It is important for our business areas to take into account any market developments such as consolidations taking place among the clientele and competition. The threats to information systems must be minimized to ensure business continuity. Severe weather conditions have an impact on the business areas’ ability to supply products and services.

The Board of Directors annually reviews any essential risks related to the company operation and their management. Risk management constitutes an integral part of the strategic and operative practices of our business areas. Risks and their probability are reported to the Board by regular monthly reports.

The company covers 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 risks materialized, and no 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, China and Denmark with subsidiaries in 12 countries outside Finland. On account of financial arrangements, Teleste Management Oy, established in March 2010, and Teleste Management II Oy, established in December 2011, have been consolidated into Teleste Corporation’s figures. Teleste Incentive Oy has been merged with Teleste Corporation.

Decisions by the Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Teleste Corporation held on 3 April 2012 confirmed the financial statements for 2011 and discharged the Board of Directors and the CEO from liability for the financial period. The AGM confirmed the dividend of EUR 0.14 per share proposed by the Board. The dividend was paid out on 17 April 2012.

Ms. Marjo Miettinen, Mr. Pertti Ervi, Mr. Pertti Raatikainen, Mr. Kai Telanne and Mr. Petteri Walldén continue in Teleste’s Board of Directors. Mr. Esa Harju was elected a new member while the membership of Mr. Tero Laaksonen ended. Ms. Marjo Miettinen was elected Chair of the Board in the organizational meeting held immediately after the AGM.

Authorized Public Accountants KPMG Oy Ab continue 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 AGM authorized the Board to acquire the maximum of 1,400,000 of the company’s own shares and to convey the maximum of 1,779,985 company’s own shares. On 8 April 2011, the AGM authorized the Board of Directors to issue five million new shares; this authorization will be valid until the Annual General Meeting of 2014. Pursuant to the special rights provided by the Company, the maximum number of significant shares is 2,500,000; these special rights are included in the authorization to issue 5,000,000 new shares.

At the end of the period, the Group’s holding of the total amount of shares amounted to 6.96% (4.18%).

On 30 September 2012, the registered share capital of Teleste stood at EUR 6,966,932.80 divided in 18,728,590 shares.

2007B and 2007C stock options began trading on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd on 2 April 2012. These options allow subscription for a maximum of 560,000 shares in the company.

Outlook for 2012  

In terms of the whole year, we estimate that deliveries of equipment and solutions for the operator clientele of Video and Broadband Solutions will increase from the 2011 level.

On the annual basis, demand by the current clientele of Network Services will remain stable. Profitability in our main market of Germany will improve markedly for the entire year over the 2011 level.

Net sales and profitability for Teleste’s fourth quarter of 2012 will fall short of the comparative period due to leveling off in demand.

We estimate that the 2012 net sales and operating profit will increase from the level of 2011.
