– 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.”

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.

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.

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

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.
