SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS
In accordance with Basware's risk management policy, risks are divided into six
categories: risks related to business operations, products, personnel as well as
legal, financial and data security risks. Basware takes risks that are a natural
part of its strategy and objectives. These risks are managed and decreased in
various ways. Short-term risks are considered to be risks in the current
reporting year.
Market forecasts updated in March-April 2010 expect the software purchases to
increase by 7.2 percent globally and 8.3 percent in US in 2010. The entire IT
services market is expected to grow by 5.6 percent globally and by 5.4 percent
in US in 2010.
The global economic uncertainty continues, which might decrease companies'
investment willingness to invest also in the future. This might have an
unfavorable impact on the development of the company's net sales and
profitability.
Previously in times of economic uncertainty, the demand for the company's
products and services has remained more positive than the general market, as the
company's software solutions generate cost savings.
The depression has generally increased companies' delinquency entries and the
number of bankruptcies. Typically, companies may also prolong the times of
payments in order to free up working capital. Basware has intensified its
management of sales receivables, and business management regularly monitors the
payment of sales receivables as part of the management of customer accounts.
The Group's main currency is Euro, accounting for approximately 61 percent of
net sales in 2009 (approximately 67% in 2008). The significance of exchange rate
fluctuations between the euro and other currencies will increase hand in hand
with the share of international operations. The company did not realize hedging
for exchange rate fluctuations during the financial period as the
foreign-currency-denominated cash flow in the subsidiaries did not exceed the
set annual foreign-currency-specific limit for hedging measures.
Basware's objective is to become the world's leading company in e-invoicing.
E-invoicing and the supporting Connectivity also target suppliers and buyers
outside Basware's existing customer base, which increases the customer
potential. The company's long-term objective is annual growth of more than 50
percent in SaaS, Basware Connectivity and e-invoicing business. SaaS, Basware
Connectivity and e-invoicing are scalable business models with a high business
potential. The realization of this growth potential requires a new operating
model as well as active and continuous development of competencies because of
the strong growth of the number of customers and transaction volumes. These
include sales and commissioning as well as customer support and product
development.
In other respects, no significant changes have taken place in Basware's
short-term risks and uncertainties during the financial period.
EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
Basware Board of Directors approved in its meeting on April 13 subscription of
total of 130 100 shares subscribed with Basware Warrant Programs. The share
subscriptions were based on the Warrant Program 2006 series B warrants (56 400
shares) and Warrant Program 2007 series D warrants (73 700 shares).
FUTURE OUTLOOK
Market forecasts updated in March-April 2010 expect the software purchases to
increase by 7.2 percent globally and 8.3 percent in US in 2010. The entire IT
services market is expected to grow by 5.6 percent globally and by 5.4 percent
in US in 2010.
Basware's direct competitors are primarily locally operating and often smaller
companies. In North America in particular, the company has also larger
competitors, especially in the field of procurement management. Developers of
document management, scanning and recycling systems compete with Basware,
particularly with regard to purchase invoice management solutions. Competing
solutions also include customized solutions integrated into ERP (Enterprise
Resource Planning) systems.
The software still offers a competitive edge, thanks to the integrated offering
consisting of new added value products and the products. Automation services, a
new concept in the portfolio, will have a positive impact on the
competitiveness.
Automation services increase the predictability and transparency of a company's
net sales and profitability. In 2009, revenue from continuous services
(including maintenance) accounted for more than 40 percent of the company's
total revenue. In order to support the sales of invoice automation solutions,
Basware will launch a mid-market SaaS (Software as a Service) solution. The
solution will be launched during the second quarter in North America and
thereafter in select markets.
Basware also aims to become a leading company in e-invoicing worldwide.
E-invoicing and supporting Connectivity Services are targeted to connect
suppliers and buyers also outside of Basware's existing software customer base,
leading into a higher potential.
The company's long-term target is to grow annually more than 50% in Automation
Services. SaaS, Connectivity Services and e-invoicing are scalable models and
offer an increasing profit potential in the long run. A growth investment
program of Basware Automation Services (SaaS, Connectivity and e-invoicing) has
been launched at the beginning of 2010, and it is expected to promote the
positive development of operations and order backlog.
The Company's international growth is based on efforts of its own sales and
marketing activity as well as the reseller channel. Development of the indirect
distribution channel continues in Europe, Russia and Asia. In North America, the
focus will be on developing the Company's own sales channel. In Scandinavia, the
focus is on profitability, and moderate growth is supported by the Company's
expanded product portfolio and the development of the service business. In
Finland, the focus is on profitability, and moderate growth will primarily be
achieved from the fields of procurement management and services.
Basware has complemented its organic growth with acquisitions. The Company will
continue to review possible acquisition targets during 2010. In particular,
possible acquisitions will aim at supporting Automation Services and expanding
the Company's distribution channel in international markets.
The Group's number of personnel will increase the most in Automation Services
and product development during the year. The number of personnel will increase
the most in India, which facilitates growth with a more moderate increase in
costs.
Additional growth related investments will be made moderately during the year,
provided that the operating profit and net sales develop as expected.
Basware expects its net sales for 2010 to develop positively on the level of
2009. Operating profit (EBIT) for 2010 is expected to be from 10 to 15 percent
of net sales.
