Q4/2010
- Net sales grew by 6.5% amounting to EUR 46.6 (43.8) million
- Operating profit grew by 72.7% equalling EUR 3.0 (1.7) million

Outlook for 2011
We believe the net sales for the entire 2011 to increase slightly and the operating profit to improve somewhat over the 2010 level.
Comments on the Fourth Quarter of 2010 by CEO Jukka Rinnevaara
Video and Broadband Solutions' net sales increased and exceeded the Q4 of 2009 (period of comparison) by 9.1 percent.The business area's year-on-year orders received increased by 19.9% due to the order of EUR 6.9 million received from the French police organization.Deliveries related to the frame agreement of EUR 16.0 million from the Israeli HOT Telecom got underway as scheduled.The business area's profitability was good.
Net sales of Network Services exceeded the period of comparison by 4.2%.However, profitability fell significantly over the period of comparison, among other things, because the German service operations involved items of lower price and margin bracket on the previous year.Moreover, the efficiency of our network maintenance operations was weakened by extremely difficult weather conditions in Central Europe.We signed a three-year contract with the German Kabel Deutschland for cable upgrade and maintenance services.In terms of net sales, the estimated annual value of this frame agreement equals approximately EUR 50 million.Extension of the contract and the ongoing efficiency measures provide a good basis for improving the profitability.
We believe our target market will pick-up gradually in 2011.Together with the efficiency measures, our competitive product and service offering allow for improvement in net sales and operating profit over the level of 2010.Yet, severe weather in Central Europe and the low order backlog of the early year may restrict our deliveries in the first quarter of 2011. In addition, we estimate that the efficiency measures, such as the development of the resource management and service processes, taken by the Network Services business area will improve profitability in the second half of 2011.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Business Description and Overview
Founded in 1954, Teleste is a technology company consisting of two business areas: Video and Broadband Solutions and Network Services.In line with its strategy, Teleste continues to focus on the chosen product and technology segments as well as services business.
Video and Broadband Solutions' net sales and profitability improved over the year of comparison.In 2010 the business area continued to exercise its cost adaptation (rotating lay-offs in Finland).
Network Services' year-on-year net sales increased mainly due to changes in the Group structure on July 1, 2009 (we acquired a 100% holding of AVC's shares, while at the same time raising our ownership in Cableway to 75%).In Germany, streamlining of service processes was running, but no impact on profitability was achieved in 2010.Profitability was additionally weakened by the severe weather conditions in the main market in Q1 and Q4.
Net Sales and Profitability
Teleste's net sales totaled EUR 167.8 (141.7) million, an increase of 18.5% over the previous year.Owing to the general tight situation in the financial market, our main customers, i.e. the European cable operators, have been fairly cautious about their network investments.Concerning growth in net sales, EUR 20.4 million, or 12.2%, were due to changes in Group structure.
Operating profit stood at EUR 7.4 (2.5) million making 4.4% (1.8%) of the net sales.The year-on-year growth in operating profit was due to an increase in Video and Broadband Solutions' net sales, efficient control over the material costs and cost adaptation.
Year-on-year orders received by the Group improved by 10.7% standing at EUR 167.2 (151.0) million.The impact of the change in the Group structure on the increased orders received was EUR 20.4 million.At the year-end, the order backlog stood at EUR 17.0 million.The order of EUR 12.0 million received in the summer of 2008 from India was written off from the order backlog.
Profit after financial items totaled EUR 6.7 (1.4) million while the net profit equalled EUR 4.7 (0.4) million.Undiluted result per share for the Group stood at EUR 0.27 (EUR 0.02).The return on capital employed was 10.2% (3.3%) and the return on equity was 9.9% (0.9%).
BUSINESS AREAS
Video and Broadband Solutions
This business area focuses on broadband subscriber networks, video services platforms and CCTV applications.Major clientele of the business area consists of cable operators but includes also resellers and public sector organizations.The main market of the business area is Europe.In 2010, we strengthened our expertise in IP video technology and presence in the Polish market through the Satlan acquisition.The business area has 23 offices of its own and a number of retail and integration partners.Outside Europe, Video and Broadband Solutions has offices of its own located in the United States, Australia, China and India.
The R&D effort of the business area focused on the video surveillance transfer system based on standard H.264.The continued R&D efforts included the Internet protocol-based video processing system (Luminato product range), amplification technology (Access product range), optical transmission system for the HFC network (HDO product range) and the video surveillance management system (VMX).
Orders received totaled EUR 86.5 (81.6) million, while the order backlog amounted to EUR 17.0 (28.6) million.The order of EUR 12.0 million received in the summer of 2008 from India was written off from the order backlog.
Net sales grew by 7.5% over the year of comparison amounting to EUR 82.0 (76.3) million.The impact of the Satlan acquisition on net sales for 2010 was EUR 3.6 million.
Operating profit stood at EUR 6.3 (-0.7) million making 7.7% (-0.9%) of the net sales. The improvement in the year-on-year operating profit was brought about by increased net sales, controlled material costs and cost adaption.In 2010, the business area's Finnish personnel were on a rotating layoff.
Network Services
The clientele of Teleste's Network Services business mainly consists of large European cable operators.The services provided by this business area include planning, new construction, upgrading and maintenance of cable networks.Implementation and scope of the relevant services vary by client ranging from standalone applications to integrated turnkey deliveries.Most deliveries are based on frame agreements.The services also include Teleste's own product solutions.Our know-how in services covers all the sectors related to the cable network technology from installation and maintenance of headends to upgrading of house networks.Services are also provided through a network of subcontractors.
Orders received totaled EUR 80.7 (69.4) million.Net sales amounted to EUR 85.8 (65.4) million.As to the increased net sales and orders received, EUR 14.8 million was due to changes in Group structure dated on 1st July 2009 (AVC and Cableway).The impact of the acquisition of Freycom on net sales was EUR 2.0 million.Operating profit amounted to EUR 1.1 (3.2) million.The weakening in the operating profit was caused by the delivered services having included more basic items of a lower price and margin bracket.Additionally, our deliveries of services was aggravated by severe weather.
R&D and Investments
R&D expenditure for the period under review totaled EUR 10.3 (10.8) million making 6.1% (7.6%) of net sales.Teleste's R&D expenditure focused on the business area of Video and Broadband Solutions, the R&D expenses of which amounted to 12.6% (14.2%) of the net sales.
Some 60% (60%) of the R&D expenses involved continued development of product platforms currently in production and their maintenance as well as customer-specific product applications.Activated R&D inputs totaled EUR 1.7 (1.6) million.Depreciation on activated R&D expenses amounted to EUR 2.4 (2.5) million.
At the end of the financial period, 9.7% (10%/2009, 25%/2008) of the Group personnel were working in R&D related duties.A number of Teleste's projects involved co-operation with Finnish universities and research institutes.
Investments for the period under review totaled EUR 3.8 (25.2) million making 2.2% (17.8%) of net sales.The most significant investment involved the Polish Satlan Sp. z o.o. acquired for EUR 6.3 million (including the estimated additional purchase price).In Switzerland, Freycom SA was acquired for EUR 0.6 million.Direct costs resulting from acquisitions have been entered under expenses, and their impact on other operating expenses is insignificant.The estimated additional purchase price for the German acquisitions in the last quarter of 2009 was largely unrealized, so an item of EUR 5.8 million has been recorded in the fiscal year 2010 as a deduction under investments.Product development investments totaled EUR 1.7 (1.6) million.As to investments, EUR 0.1 (0.2) million was implemented by means of financial leasing.The last phase of the Littoinen extension project was launched at the end of the year involving product development facilities.The investment amounts to approximately EUR 1.0 million and is expected to be completed in June 2011.
Financing
Liquidity of the Group remained good throughout the year.Operating cash flow stood at EUR 5.4 (9.8) million.Accounts receivable caused no credit losses.At the end of the period, the amount of unused binding stand-by credits amounted to EUR 13.5 (18.5) million.The current binding stand-by credits of EUR 40.0 million run till November 2013.The Group's equity ratio equaled 43.6% (43.6%) and net gearing 25.5% (22.0%).Interest bearing debt on 31 December 2010 stood at EUR 28.0 (22.8) million.
Personnel and Organization
In 2010, the Group employed an average of 1215 people (1103/2009, 702/2008).At the year-end, the figure totaled 1231 (1260/2009, 677/2008) of which 70% (68%/2009, 33%/2008) were stationed overseas.Employees stationed outside Europe accounted for less than 5% of the Group's personnel.Expenditure on employee benefits amounted to EUR 50.8 (44.6/2009, 33.2/2008) million.The increase in employee benefits was mainly due to the change in the Group structure.
As part of the cost-structure adaptation measures required by the general market situation, the Finnish personnel have been on a rotating layoff.The co-determination procedure was concluded on January 22, 2010.In Finland, the measures agreed in the co-determination procedure continued until the end of 2010.The operational efficiency drive involving the sales organization abroad continued also.
Group Structure
The Polish Satlan was acquired on September 1, 2010 to strengthen Video and Broadband Solutions' integration expertise.The price of EUR 2.8 million at the conclusion of the deal was paid in cash.The total purchase price is estimated at EUR 6.3 million, depending on the development in profitability of the acquired company within the next two years.In these financial statements the acquisition cost for Satlan is presented as preliminary since there are grounds for viewing the information concerning its profitability in a longer perspective given the moderately high conditional purchase price.An acquisition in Switzerland for Freycom SA was carried out on April 4, 2010 by the Network Services business area.The purchase price of EUR 0.6 million was paid in cash.The direct costs related to the acquisition of both companies have been entered under the Group's other operating expenses.
With the ownership arrangements Teleste's holding in the German Cableway AG rose to 100% when a Cableway minority interest was bought for EUR 0.4 million.The effect of Satlan on Teleste's net sales for 2010 was EUR 3.6 million and on profit EUR 0.7 million, respectively.Freycom's effect on net sales stood at EUR 2.0 million with no impact on profit.
The branch office in Spain was closed and the Slovak subsidiary dissolved.Teleste Kaurakatu Oy was merged into Ortikon Interactive Oy, which changed its name to Teleste Kaurakatu Oy.Teleste Video Networks AB and Teleste Försäljning AB were merged into Teleste Sweden AB.Young-Net GmbH was merged into Cableway Mitte GmbH and DINH Vlaanderen NV into DINH Telecom S.A.
Parent company Teleste has branch offices in Australia, the Netherlands, China and Denmark with subsidiaries in 12 countries outside Finland.
Essential Risks of Business Areas
Founded in 1954, Teleste is a technology and service provider 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 specified organizations in the public sector.
Concerning Video and Broadband Solutions, 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.The still ongoing difficult market situation may delay the implementation of investment plans among the clientele.Network investments carried out by the clients vary based on their need for upgrading and their capital structure.Much of Teleste's competition comes from the USA so the exchange rate of euro up against the US dollar affects our competitiveness.Teleste hedges against short-term currency exposure by means of forward contracts.Correct technological choices and their timing are vital for our success.
Net sales for 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 the actual deliveries. To ensure quality of services and cost-efficiency, along with an efficient service process management, customer satisfaction requires innovative solutions in terms of processes, products and logistics.Smooth operation of the cable networks requires effective technical management and functional hardware solutions. This, in turn, means that the skill levels of our subcontractors and their personnel needs continuous and determined development.In addition, availability of capacity in our network of subcontractors may limit our ability to supply.
It is equally important for our business areas to take into account any market developments such as consolidations taking place among the clientele and competition.Weather conditions affect the supply conditions of products and services of our business areas.
The Board of Directors annually reviews any essential risks related to the company operation and the management thereof.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 has covered major risks of damage through insurance policies.These insurances do not include credit loss risks.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.
Decisions by the Annual General Meeting (AGM)
The Annual General Meeting of Teleste Corporation on April 9, 2010 confirmed the financial statements for 2009 and discharged the Board of Directors and the CEO from liability for the financial period.The AGM confirmed the dividend of EUR 0.08 per share proposed by the Board.The dividend was paid out on April 21, 2010.
Composition of the Board remained unchanged.Marjo Miettinen was appointed Chairman while the appointed Board Members include Pertti Ervi, Tero Laaksonen, Pertti Raatikainen, Kai Telanne and Petteri Walldén.
Authorised Public Accountants KPMG Oy Ab continue as the auditor until the next AGM.Accountant authorised by the Central Chamber of Commerce of Finland Esa Kailiala was chosen auditor-in-charge.
The AGM authorised 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.The AGM also authorised the company Board to issue 10,000,000 new shares.Pursuant to the special rights provided by the company, the maximum number of significant shares is 5,000,000; these special rights are included in the authorisation to issue 10,000,000 new shares.
The authorizations are valid until the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders for year 2011.The Board has not exercised these rights.

Outlook for 2011
In 2011, deliveries of equipment and solutions by Video and Broadband Solutions to its customer base of operators in our target markets will at least achieve the level of 2010.European telecom operators are about to launch their TV distribution investments, and we believe that our video headend and optical network products are competitive in this new emerging market. Deliveries related to security and traffic control will grow from the 2010 level.
Demand for services provided by Network Services will remain relatively stable on the annual basis.We believe that in Germany, our main market, profitability will improve from the 2010 level thanks to the ongoing streamlining measures.This improvement in profitability will, in our estimation, mainly be seen in the second half of 2011.
Teleste expects to maintain its strong market position in its core markets.Severe weather conditions in Central Europe and the low order backlog of the early year may hold back our deliveries in the first quarter of 2011.
We believe the net sales for the entire 2011 to increase slightly and the operating profit to improve somewhat over the 2010 level.
