Outlook for 2014

We estimate net sales and operating profit for the first half of 2014 to fall clearly from the comparative period. Due to this, we estimate that net sales and operating profit for the full year of 2014 will not reach the 2013 level.

 

Comments on the last quarter of 2013 by CEO Jukka Rinnevaara:

“Orders received were at par with the comparative period, but focused now more on cable network equipment and the related services. Successful deliveries in this area led to a clear growth in net sales during the quarter, and as a result, Teleste achieved its all-time record quarterly net sales. Performance of the services business, being one of the Company's special development areas, showed a pleasant improvement.

Increased net sales and, in relative terms, decreased personnel costs raised operating profit clearly over the period of comparison. Earnings per share increased by 87%.

The year-on-year net sales of Video Broadband Solutions grew, which was mainly brought about by increased deliveries of IP headends (Luminato) and optical product solutions. Particularly strong markets included France, Poland and the USA. In addition, the Asheridge acquisition contributed slightly to the increased net sales. Deliveries related to video surveillance were below the reference period.

The year-on-year net sales and operating profit of Network Services increased. Net sales were increased by maintenance and upgrading of cable networks. This growth in the operating profit was based on the development of productivity and the cost adjustment measures carried out earlier in 2013."

Orders received totaled EUR 188.9 (189.7) million. Net sales decreased by 0.6% to EUR 192.8 (193.9) million. This decline in net sales over the previous year was caused by the lower level of the services business in the first half of the year. Operating profit equaled EUR 11.0 (10.9) million. Operating profit of the comparative period included a sale of a real estate and a reserve reversal of an additional purchase price related to a business acquisition totaling EUR 1.2 million. Taxes amounted to EUR 2.5 (3.4) million and the tax rate was 23.6% (33.7%). This decrease in tax rate was contributed by changes in the Group structure that enabled establishing a tax group for German subsidiaries and shifts in the geographic distribution of profits. Undiluted earnings per share increased by 21.9% to EUR 0.47 (0.38). Cash flow from operations decreased to EUR 10.0 (15.3) million due to a decrease in the short-term non-interest-bearing liabilities.

This increase in net sales was promoted by the sales of IP headends (Luminato) and optical product solutions as well as the acquisition of Asheridge. Operating profit stood at EUR 2.4 (2.0) million making 8.4% (8.1%) of the net sales. This improvement in the operating profit was mainly attributed to increased net sales.

R&D expenses were 2.9 (3.0) million, i.e. 10.4% (12.3%) of the business area's net sales. Capitalized R&D expenses amounted to EUR 0.6 (0.3) million. The R&D efforts focused on the next generation innovative broadband solution (Data Access HUB), the future access network solutions (Docsis 3.1), video headend systems (Luminato), video surveillance software development, as well as a number of client-specific development projects. Depreciation on capitalized R&D expenses amounted to EUR 0.3 (0.5) million.

This profit performance was affected particularly by increased deliveries of video surveillance solutions and improved profitability of the IP headend business. Product development expenses equaled EUR 10.0 (11.2) million, in other words 9.8% (11.2%) of net sales. The most significant R&D efforts included the next generation innovative broadband solution Data Access HUB, the future access network solutions Docsis 3.1, and the video surveillance software development S-VMX.

EBIT % 4,5% 3,1%  

In Q4, the year-on-year orders received increased by 13.2% standing at EUR 26.0 (23.0) million. Net sales grew by 14.1% amounting to EUR 26.0 (22.8) million. This increase in net sales was mainly attributable to maintenance and upgrading of cable networks. Operating profit stood at EUR 1.2 (0.7) million making 4.5% (3.1%) of net sales. This improvement in operating profit was brought about by increased net sales and a reduction in personnel costs.

Network Services in January-December 2013

1,000 euros  1-12/2013  1-12/2012 Change %
Orders received 91 060 91 931 -0,9%
Net sales 91 060 92 645 -1,7%
EBIT 1 587 2 439 -34,9%
EBIT % 1,7% 2,6%  

Orders received totaled EUR 91.1 (91.9) million. Net sales decreased by 1.7% to EUR 91.1 (92.6) million. This decline in sales over the previous year was due to a decrease in invoicing in the German fiber-optic projects. Operating profit stood at EUR 1.6 (2.4) million making 1.7% (2.6%) of net sales. This year-on-year weakening of operating profit was due to low sales and high human resources in relation to demand in the first half of the year. Adjustment of the resources was successfully completed by the beginning of second half of the year, with the result that in Q4 the business profitability rose to a good level.

Personnel and Organization in January-December 2013   

In the period under review, the average number of people employed by the Group was 1,306 people (1,326/2012, 1,297/2011); of these 559 (567) were employed by Video and Broadband Solutions, and 747 (759) by Network Services. At the end of the review period, the Group employed 1,261 people (1,325/2012, 1,319/2011) of whom 71% (73%/2012, 72%/2011) were stationed abroad. About 3% of the Group's employees were working outside Europe.

Wages, salaries and social expenses decreased by 2.7% over the previous year and amounted to EUR 56.9 (58.5/2012, 54.6/2011) million. This reduction in personnel costs was primarily due to a decrease in incentive expenses and a decline in headcount. This decrease in costs was also contributed by the partial temporary lay-off of the personnel in Finnish operations in the first quarter. In the first quarter, the number of German services operations personnel was reduced in line with customers’ service demand. This reduction was 85 people.

In January 2014, temporary lay-offs were initiated involving Operations unit personnel. Average length of these lay-offs is three weeks, and they will be implemented before the end of Q1. These temporary lay-offs were launched within the framework agreed earlier in the co-determination negotiations. 

Investments in January-December 2013

Investments by the Group for the period under review totaled EUR 6.3 (3.3) million accounting for 3.3% (1.7%) of net sales. EUR 3.5 million of these investments involved the acquisition of Asheridge. Investments in product development equaled EUR 1.4 (0.8) million. Other investments involved information systems and machines as well as equipment. Investments of EUR 0.1 (0.8) million were made under financial lease arrangements.

Financing and Capital Structure in January to December 2013

Operating cash flow stood at EUR 10.0 (15.3) million. This reduction in cash flows from operating activities was caused by the decrease in trade and other payables. At the end of the period under review, the amount of unused binding stand-by credits amounted to EUR 17.0 (19.0) million. Credit limits are valid until August 2015.

The Group's equity ratio equaled 52.7% (50.5%) and net gearing 13.8% (13.7%). On 31 December 2013, the Group's interest-bearing debt stood at EUR 24.3 (22.1) 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 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 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 Chinese renminbi to euro affects our material costs.

The company hedges against short-term currency exposure by means of forward 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. Severe weather conditions have an impact on the business areas' ability to deliver products and services. 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 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 competences 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 with overall responsibility are complex and include risks.

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. 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.

Decisions by the Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Teleste Corporation on 12 April 2013 confirmed the financial statements for 2012 and discharged the Board of Directors and the CEO from liability for the financial period. The AGM confirmed the dividend of EUR 0.17 per share proposed by the Board. The dividend was paid out on 24 April 2013.

Ms. Marjo Miettinen, Mr. Pertti Ervi, Mr. Esa Harju, Mr. Kai Telanne and Mr. Petteri Walldén continue in Teleste's Board of Directors. Ms. Jannica Fagerholm was elected new member of the Board of Directors. Mr. Pertti Raatikainen's membership of the Board of Directors 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 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.

Valid authorizations granted by the AGM:
- Authorization to purchase own shares: 1,400,000 
- Disposal of own shares: 1,779,985, valid until the 2014 Annual General Meeting
- Issue of new shares: 5,000,000, valid until the 2014 Annual General Meeting
- Pursuant to the special rights granted by the company, the maximum number of shares is 2,500,000; these special rights are included in the authorization to issue 5,000,000 new shares.

Outlook for 2014  

Video and Broadband Solutions aim at maintaining a strong market position in Europe and expand into selected new markets. Network capacity will continue to increase driven by the new broadband and video services provided by the operators. Limited product offering of the new Docsis 3.1 communications standard may delay the network investments in the beginning of the year. Price erosion in the market continues. The positive trend in the video surveillance market will continue, but the public sector decisions to start projects may be delayed in the current economic climate. We estimate the market for Video and Broadband Solutions to fluctuate greatly during the year and the demand to be emphasized on the second half of the year.

The business objective of Network Services is to develop the operational efficiency and give up any unprofitable services activities during the year. These measures will be taken to create conditions for better business profitability over the reference year, but these will have a slight reducing effect on net sales. We estimate the demand for comprehensive network services in our key target markets to continue at par with the comparative year.

We estimate net sales and operating profit for the first half of 2014 to fall clearly from the comparative period. Due to this, we estimate that net sales and operating profit for the full year of 2014 will not reach the 2013 level.
