Statement by President and CEO Olli-Pekka Salovaara:
Overall, 2011 was a good year for Revenio Group, offering many reasons for satisfaction with regard to profit performance. We once again saw the highly profitable growth that we have come to expect from the Health Care segment. However, the greatest profitability improvement was seen in the services segment, in which Midas Touch was able to turn heavy losses into a profit due to its successful adjustment and business re-orientation measures.
Another of 2011’s success stories was the Safety segment, which saw a marked improvement in its result. This is all the more impressive considering that, in the current market situation, orders are rather small and production series short. We are satisfied with the success of Done Software Solutions, a subsidiary of the Systems segment.
The business operations of FLS Finland remained profitable. New success factors are continually being sought for the business, in order to achieve higher sales volumes. This will require success in markets outside the Nordic countries.
Our greatest disappointment of 2011 lay in the profitability of the Norwegian project undertaken by Done Logistics, part of the Systems segment. The planned costs were exceeded during the installation phase, eating into the Group’s consolidated operating profit in Q4 2011. The most intensive installation work in Norway will continue until the spring of 2012. At the same time, the near future of Done Logistics looks challenging, since no new major orders have been secured.
Excluding the Done Logistics situation, we are heading into 2012 with optimism, since our other companies have the ability to achieve good results despite the uncertain economic situation. As for Done Logistics, we are working intensively on improving the situation.”
MARKET SITUATION
During the financial year, the Services segment saw positive development in its market situation and business operations – particularly with regard to inbound operations, an area towards which the segment’s focus is being shifted, due to its lower risks and more stable future prospects compared to telemarketing. The prospects and development of telemarketing can also be characterized as reasonably healthy, now that operations have been concentrated into the most profitable telemarketing services yielding the highest added value.
In the Systems segment, demand for logistics systems varies according to customer target group and geographical area. After the minor upsurge enjoyed during the previous financial year, matters again took a turn for the worse due to general uncertainty related to the economic situation.
During the financial year, the Health Care segment saw demand for Icare tonometers continue to grow, while the market situation remained good. Owing to the products’ competitive position, the global market, and the degree of market penetration, demand for these products is not forecast to be as susceptible to market trends as it is for products in many other sectors.
The Safety segment has been able to increase its international visibility by engaging in marketing outside its conventional markets. The product is competitive due to its high quality and excellent product features, but the related sales processes are long-winded, while the outlook for the national economies of many customer countries remains uncertain. In spite of this, public investments in defense and safety are expected to continue, since some customer organizations need to modernize their equipment and have other, concrete investment needs based on a requirement for additional equipment.
Demand in the Technology segment’s traditional market areas was somewhat weak, since no extensive modernization programs are currently underway for price displays used in the fuel distribution network. Modernization projects were less extensive than previously, although the number of small-scale investments rose towards the end of the financial year.
NET SALES, PROFITABILITY AND PROFIT
Consolidated net sales from Revenio Group’s continuing operations for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2012 were EUR 33.3 million (EUR 25.8 million), showing an increase of 29.2%. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of continuing operations amounted to EUR 4.2 million (EUR 0.2 million), or 12.5 (0.8)% of net sales.
Consolidated operating profit (EBIT) of continuing operations was EUR 3.4 million (EUR -0.9 million), representing 10.3 (-3.3)% of net sales. Consolidated operating profit, excluding non-recurring items, of continuing operations amounted to EUR 3.4 million (EUR 0.6 million), or 10.3 (2.4) percent of net sales. The pre-tax result totaled EUR 4.8 million (EUR -0.7 million), or 14.4 (-2.2) percent of net sales. Consolidated net profit of continuing operations for the financial year amounted to EUR 2.2 million (EUR -0.7 million), representing 6.6 (-2.8)% of net sales. Consolidated net profit of discontinued operations during the financial year totaled EUR 1.7 million (EUR 0.2 million). Profit for the financial year totaled EUR 3.9 million (EUR -0.6 million).
Diluted and undiluted earnings per share of continuing operations came to EUR 0.028 (EUR -0.011). Undiluted earnings per share of discontinued operations totaled EUR 0.023 (EUR 0.003), while dilution-adjusted earnings per share came to EUR 0.022 (EUR 0.003).

Consolidated net sales of continued operations in Q4 came to EUR 8.8 million (EUR 8.8 million). Net sales decreased by 0.1%. Consolidated operating profit for Q4 amounted to EUR 0.0 million (EUR -1.0 million), or 0.3 (-10.5) percent of net sales. The final quarter’s operating profit includes a EUR 1.9-million write-down on Midas Touch's goodwill and intangible assets on reference year's figures. Consolidated operating profit of continuing operations without recurring items for the last quarter amounted to EUR 0.0 million (EUR 1.0 million), or 0.3 (11.2) percent of net sales. Diluted and undiluted earnings per share of continuing operations during Q4 came to EUR -0.003 (EUR -0.011).
In 2011, net sales for the Group’s continuing operations grew 29.2 percent year-on-year. Significant increases in net sales were seen in the Health Care and Systems segments; the Safety and Technology segments also achieved growth in net sales. Net sales in the Services segment fell due to the decision made in late 2010 with regard to service production, to centralize operations and decrease capacity.
Consolidated operating profit for all segments saw a marked improvement year-on-year. Most of this improvement was generated by the Services and Health Care segments.
In July 2011, the Group sold the entire capital stock of Done Information Oy to Semantix Lingua Nordica Oy, part of the Swedish Semantix group. Revenio Group received a capital gain of EUR 1.6 million from the divestment, which was recorded in full in the third quarter’s result.
BALANCE SHEET, FINANCIAL POSITION AND INVESTMENTS
The consolidated balance sheet total on December 31, 2011 was EUR 24.8 million(EUR 24.5 million). Shareholders’ equity came to EUR 16.4 million (EUR 14.1 million). At the end of the financial year, interest-bearing net liabilities totaled EUR -2.8 million (EUR 0.7 million) and gearing stood at -17.3 (4.9) percent. The consolidated equity ratio was 66.6 (60.8)%. The Group’s liquid assets at the end of the fiscal year totaled EUR 4.4 million (EUR 2.1 million) in value.
Due to the positive financial development, the Group's financial standing remained stable throughout the fiscal year. In addition to its liquid assets, the Group has a EUR 2.0 million credit facility, from which no funds had been withdrawn at the end of the financial year.
Cash flow from business operations came to EUR 4.2 million (EUR 1.3 million). Factors increasing cash flow included the improved profitability of the Group's business operations, while factors decreasing cash flow included working capital tied to the projects in Norway and the related installation costs.
The Group’s purchases of PPE and intangible assets totaled EUR 0.7 million (EUR 0.7 million). These investments were concentrated on production equipment, information technology and software.
GROUP STRUCTURE
At the end of the fiscal year, Revenio Group comprised parent company Revenio Group Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, all active companies: Midas Touch Oy, Done Logistics Oy, Done Software Solutions Oy, Icare Finland Oy, Boomeranger Boats Oy and FLS Finland Oy, along with, additionally, the following subsidiaries of Midas Touch Oy: Midas Touch Media Oy, Midas Touch Gateway Oy, Midas Touch Interactive Oy, Midas Touch Tech Oy, and Midas Touch Care Oy. The decision was taken to merge subsidiaries of Midas Touch Oy with its parent company during the first half of 2012.
OPERATIONS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT
Revenio Group Corporation’s business operations are organized into five segments: Services (Midas Touch), Systems (Done Logistics and Done Software Solutions), Health Care (Icare Finland), Safety (Boomeranger Boats), and Technology (FLS Finland). This structure is in line with the Group’s organization and internal reporting.
Services
The Services segment comprises Midas Touch, one of the leading contact center companies in Finland. Midas Touch provides outsourced telephone services, including customer service, help desk services, exchange management, telemarketing and market surveys for the private and public sectors alike.
The Services segment's net sales in 2011 totaled EUR 4.9 million (EUR 6.7 million), down 26.4 percent. The segment’s profit margin was 0.1 (-3.3), including 1.9 million euro in write-downs on goodwill and intangible assets as non-recurring items on reference year's figures. Q4 net sales amounted to EUR 1.3 million (EUR 1.4 million), and the margin was EUR -0.0 million (EUR -2.3 million).
Midas Touch’s profitability markedly improved during the financial year. This was the result of restructuring measures carried out at the company in late 2010, in which production capacity was markedly adjusted to the prevailing market situation. As a result, production efficiency improved, while the cost level dropped substantially. The company’s telephone service system was also modernized; the new system better enables the company to operate in line with its current focal points.
Systems
The Systems segment comprises Done Logistics, which provides companies with materials handling systems related to their internal logistics, and Done Software Solutions, which provides the related information systems. In 2011, the Systems segment’s net sales came to EUR 13.1 million(EUR 6.8 million), up 92.9 percent. The segment’s profit margin was EUR 0.3 million (EUR 0.0 million). Q4 net sales amounted to EUR 3.6 million (EUR 3.1 million), and the margin was EUR -0.8 million (EUR 0.3 million).
In the financial year 2011, the majority of net sales of Done Logistics, part of the Systems segment, were generated by the delivery of a system to the Norwegian Tine SA, for the handling and collection of dairy products, as a subcontractor for the Swiss logistics group Swisslog. Business operations turned negative in Q4 due to the high costs incurred during the installation and implementation phase. Most of the project’s remaining installation and implementation phase will occur in the first half of 2012.
Done Software Solutions’ first full year in operation was successful, seeing an improvement in profitability, despite the challenging market situation in the sector’s software market.
Health Care
The Health Care segment comprises Icare Finland, which specializes in the development, manufacture and sale of tonometers measuring intraocular pressure.
In 2011, the Health Care segment’s net sales came to EUR 8.9 million (EUR 7.0 million), up 26.9 percent. The segment’s profit margin was EUR 3.9 million (EUR 2.9 million). Q4 net sales amounted to EUR 2.6 million (EUR 2.2 million), while the segment’s margin was EUR 1.2 million (EUR 1.1 million).
The market position of the Health Care segment improved during the financial year, and its business operations saw favorable development. The company invested in sensor production, with sensor sales representing an increasingly important part of its business operations. The development of distribution channels and the systematic international marketing of products continued. The decision to establish a subsidiary in the USA was made during the financial year.
At the end of the financial year, Icare had a sales license for its first-generation tonometer and the Icare Link software, representing a new generation of products. With regard to new-generation products, the application related to the Icare One tonometer was pending, while the application process for the icare Pro tonometer was being prepared. Icare One is designed for the self-measurement of intraocular pressure ‒ a fact that may affect the length of the licensing process.
Safety
The Safety segment consists of Boomeranger Boats, which designs, manufactures, and sells Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs) of the highest quality, primarily for navy rescue units, authorities and security forces in various countries.
In 2011, the Safety segment’s net sales amounted to EUR 3.8 million (EUR 3.4 million), up 12.9 percent. The segment’s profit margin was EUR 0.6 million (EUR 0.2 million). Q4 net sales amounted to EUR 0.6 million (EUR 1.2 million), while the segment’s margin was EUR 0.1 million (EUR 0.2 million).
The segment’s sales during the financial year comprised rather small-scale orders, which were delivered at high production efficiency and profitability. However, this business sector’s order backlog is uneven, leading to large fluctuations in volume within each year.
Technology
Representing the Technology segment, FLS Finland (previously Finnish Led-Signs) is the largest supplier of LED price displays in the Nordic region and is Finland’s leading manufacturer of LED information displays and parking guidance systems.
In 2011, net sales of the Technology segment totaled EUR 2.5 million (EUR 1.9 million), up 29.2 percent. The segment’s profit margin was EUR 0.1 million (EUR 0.0 million). Although net sales grew, investment activity among the segment’s customers, with respect to display equipment for service station networks, was subdued in 2011. A positive result was enabled by the company's ability also to fill small orders at a profit. The most significant customer delivery over the period was the expansion on Helsinki-Vantaa airport's parking display equipment.
Over the period a 2-year framework partnership agreement with British Petroleum was signed over the LED-displays and 3-year extension on partnership agreement with Neste Oil as well.
Q4 net sales amounted to EUR 0.7 million (EUR 0.8 million), while the segment’s margin was EUR 0.0 million (EUR 0.1 million).

HUMAN RESOURCES
The number of personnel employed by the Group in 2011 averaged 248 (423). Layoffs at Midas Touch, completed at the end of 2010, and the divestment of Done Information were the most important factors affecting the number of employees. At the end of the period, the number of employees was 265 (333). The average age of staff was 41 years (41 years).
Owing to the deterioration in prospective demand, the company held employer-employee negotiations at Done Logistics. On the basis of these negotiations, the company is entitled to implement fixed-term layoffs during 2012, should the market situation so require. Boomeranger Boats also prepared for reducing demand by means of employer-employee negotiations.
During the financial year, development projects related to the work of supervisors and management, determined on the basis of the 2010 personnel survey, were carried out at Group companies.

MAJOR BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Group’s risks are defined as strategic, operational, trade cycle, hazard, and financial risks.
The Group’s strategic risks include strong competition in all sectors, the threat posed by new competing products, and any other actions of the company’s rivals that may affect the competitive situation. Another factor posing a strategic risk is related to success in R&D operations and, therefore, preservation of the product range’s competitiveness. In the Group’s sectors, requiring particular expertise in accordance with the strategy, essential risks also include those related to the retention and development of key personnel as well as dependence on the operational ability of the subcontractor and supplier network.
Corporate acquisitions are part of the Group’s strategy. The success of these acquisitions has a significant impact on the reaching of growth and profitability targets. Acquisitions may also change the Group’s risk profile.
Strategic risks and the need for action are regularly assessed and are monitored in connection with day-to-day management, monthly Group reporting, and annual strategy updates.
Operational risks are associated with the retention and development of major customers and success in extending the customer base. In the Health Care segment especially, operational risks include factors related to expansion into new markets, such as various countries' regulation of medical instruments imposed at national level and the related official decisions concerning the health care market.
The operational risks related to the manufacture, product development, and production control of medical instruments are estimated to be higher than average in the Health Care segment, because of that sector’s requirements concerning quality.
Project-based operations, mainly carried out in the Systems and Technology segments, entail exposure to subcontractor and supplier risks in the management of demanding integrated solutions.
The share of deferred tax assets in the assets item of the consolidated balance sheet is significant. Changes in business profitability and tax legislation could involve changes in the availability and amount of deferred tax assets.
Hazard risks are subject to extensive insurance coverage, and the adequacy of that coverage is always assessed when any changes in circumstances so require – however, no less than once per year. Property insurance and insurance against interruptions to business provide protection against risks in these areas, while various types of liability insurance provide protection against other business risks.
Financial risks consist of credit, interest, liquidity, and foreign exchange risks. The Group has taken out credit insurance covering all companies in the Group, to manage credit loss risks. Every month, and more frequently if necessary, the Board, in its meetings, assesses matters related to financial issues. If required, the Board provides decisions and guidelines for the management of financial risks concerning interest-rate and currency hedging, for instance. Liquidity risks are monitored by means of cash forecasts, which are drawn up for periods of 12 months at a time.
EVENTS AFTER THE FINANCIAL YEAR
On January 5, 2012, the company announced the replacement of the Managing Director of its subsidiary, Icare Finland. The current Managing Director, Ari Tiukkanen, had announced he would be leaving to take up a position with another company in May, 2012.
OUTLOOK FOR 2012
Group net sales for 2012 are forecast to see a decrease year-on-year due to the completion of the large deliveries in the Systems segment. Operating profit, excluding nonrecurring items, is forecast to see a similar drop to net sales, while clearly remaining in the positive territory. In 2011, net sales amounted to EUR 33.3 million, while operating profit totaled EUR 3.4 million.
THE BOARD'S PROPOSAL TO THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The consolidated net profit for the year totaled EUR 3,911 thousand and that of the parent company EUR 2,056,692.01.
The parent company’s distributable earnings on December 31, 2011 totaled EUR 14,363,150.07.
The Board of Directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting on March 28, 2012, that the parent company’s distributable earnings be allocated as follows:
- A per-share dividend of EUR 0.02, for a total of EUR 1,537,794.60, against the total number of shares on the balance sheet date, will be distributed.
- The rest of the distributable retained earnings will be entered under equity.
In the Board’s opinion, the proposed dividend distribution does not endanger the parent company’s liquidity.
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The recognition and valuation principles underlying the financial information presented in the Interim Report comply with the principles of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
