Helsinki, 2013-08-13 08:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DIGIA PLC INTERIM REPORT 13

DIGIA'S SECOND QUARTER 2013: A SIGNIFICANT RISE IN NET SALES AND OPERATING
PROFIT 



SUMMARY

January-June

- Consolidated net sales: EUR 51.5 (50.6) million, up 1.9 per cent
- Consolidated operating profit: EUR 1.5 million (1-6/2012: EUR 2.7 before
extraordinary items and EUR 2.1 million after extraordinary items) 
- Profitability (EBIT%): 2.8 per cent (1-6/2012: 5.3 per cent before
extraordinary items and 4.1 per cent after extraordinary items) 
- Product business accounted for 42.6 (29.9) per cent
- Earnings per share: EUR 0.02 (1-6/2012: EUR 0.08 before extraordinary items
and EUR 0.05 after extraordinary items) 

April-June

- Consolidated net sales: EUR 28.0 (24.5) million, up 14.4 per cent
- Consolidated operating profit: EUR 1.9 million (Q2/2012: EUR 1.3 before
extraordinary items and EUR 0.7 million after extraordinary items) 
- Profitability (EBIT%): 6.9 per cent (Q2/2012: 5.1 per cent before
extraordinary items and 2.8 per cent after extraordinary items) 
- Product business accounted for 46.9 (33.1) per cent
- Earnings per share: EUR 0.04 (Q2/2012: EUR 0.04 before extraordinary items
and EUR 0.01 after extraordinary items) 

The company's net sales grew slightly during the review period, and showed
major year-on-year improvement in the second quarter. Positive net sales
development was primarily attributed to the increased net sales in Qt business
and the EUR 2.4 million low-margin maintenance deal concluded in the second
quarter for a third-party software product. However, the previous year's
comparison figures included EUR 3.4 million worth of net sales from the mobile
contract engineering operations, which the company no longer has as the
business was discontinued at the end of 2012. 

Investments in international business strained the business cost structure,
especially at the beginning of the review period, explaining the decrease in
operating profit from the same period a year earlier. Nevertheless, performance
improved towards the year-end and both operating profit and profitability
showed a clear improvement in the second quarter compared with last year. 

The Qt business performed well during the period, with net sales showing marked
growth from the same period a year earlier. Demand and bid volumes were at a
healthy level. Positive development continued in the large global customer
base, which offered new business opportunities. 

The company expects net sales from the Qt business to continue growing, thereby
maintaining healthy operational profitability. However, net sales growth in the
second half of 2013 is expected to be more moderate than in the same period
last year. This is because Digia concluded a business transaction with Nokia in
the third quarter last year, which contributed to exceptionally active licence
sales and had a tremendous impact - EUR 3.8 million - on the quarter's net
sales. 

Digia expects its overall net sales in 2013 to remain at the previous year's
level or to grow slightly. Profitability is expected to show a positive
development towards the end of the financial period.

MARKETS AND DIGIA'S BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Caution arising from the global economic situation occasionally lengthened
customers' decision-making processes and delayed the start of new projects.
Furthermore, continuing cost pressures reflected on procurement decisions and
demand, particularly in the Solutions and Services business. 

The Integration and Site Optimization business developed favourably and even
exceeded expectations thanks to new customer relationships and existing key
accounts. 

Demand for ERP systems and operational systems was healthy during the period,
although there were marked differences between different sectors. At the same
time, however, customers continued to exercise caution in their purchasing
behaviour, and sales cycles were still long. Order and bid volumes remained at
a healthy level. 

The Qt business performed well during the period, with net sales showing marked
growth from the same period a year earlier. Demand and bid volumes were at a
healthy level. Positive development continued in the large global customer
base, which offered new business opportunities. Several long-term licence
agreements were signed during the period, with the five-year agreement worth
EUR 3.0 million signed in the second quarter providing a particular growth
driver. The agreement increased net sales in the review period and in the
second quarter by EUR 1.3 million. Business development has been positive in
all main markets, particularly in the United States and China. 

The low profitability of the Qt business, especially at the beginning of the
period, could be expected as the acquisition made in Q3 2012 strained the cost
structure of the business. However, profitability improved as expected during
the course of the review period, and was excellent in the second quarter.
Business has been strongly focused on licence sales, which explains why product
business was able to exceed its 75% target level in net sales. Product business
grew faster than the consulting services business. The renewal rate for
expiring maintenance agreements was also very high. 

During the period, Digia proceeded with previously reported plans related to Qt
product development and operational focus areas. The Qt 5.1 product version
released during the period will enable application development for the popular
Android and iOS operating systems. New Qt releases have been well received in
the market. Business development was another major focus area. In response to
active demand, the sales organisations in the United States, Germany and China
have been reorganised and strengthened. In June, Digia organised a major event
for software developers in Beijing. The event was very popular, reflecting
favourable market conditions, and received plenty of media coverage in the
local technology magazines. Digia has also opened a Qt sales office in
Shanghai. 

In Digia's Russian unit, business operations focused on providing analytics
solutions for local customers within the retail value chain. The unit failed to
reach its net sales and profitability targets for the period. Besides offering
services locally, the Russian unit also supports Qt sales and Finnish
operations by providing near shore services, particularly within ERP system
solutions. 



NET SALES

Digia's consolidated net sales for the period were EUR 51.5 (50.6) million,
showing an increase of 1.9 per cent on the same period a year earlier. 

The positive net sales development can be attributed particularly to the net
sales growth generated by the Qt business. In addition, the EUR 2.4 million
low-margin maintenance deal for a third-party software product concluded in the
second quarter boosted net sales. However, the previous year's comparison
figures include EUR 3.4 million worth of net sales from the mobile contract
engineering operations, which the company no longer has as the business was
discontinued at the end of 2012. 

During the reporting period, the product business accounted for EUR 21.9 (15.1)
million or 42.6 (29.9) per cent of consolidated net sales. 

International operations accounted for EUR 10.8 (10.6) million or 20.9 (21.0)
per cent of consolidated net sales. During the reporting period, the Qt
business accounted for EUR 9.7 (7.0) million of consolidated net sales. 

Digia's consolidated net sales for the second quarter were EUR 28.0 (24.5)
million, up 14.4 per cent on the same period last year. 

In the second quarter, product business accounted for EUR 13.1 (8.1) million of
consolidated net sales, or 46.9 (33.1) per cent. 

International operations accounted for EUR 6.4 (5.4) million of consolidated
net sales in the second quarter, or 22.8 (22.2) per cent. The Qt business
accounted for EUR 5.9 (3.7) million of consolidated net sales in the second
quarter. 



PROFIT PERFORMANCE AND PROFITABILITY

Digia's consolidated operating profit in the period was EUR 1.5 million
(1-6/2012 EUR 2.7 million before extraordinary items), representing a
year-on-year decrease of 45.5 per cent. Profitability (EBIT %) was 2.8 (5.3)
per cent. A year earlier, operating profit after extraordinary items was EUR
2.1 million and profitability (EBIT%) was 4.1 per cent. 

Digia's consolidated second-quarter operating profit was EUR 1.9 million
(Q2/2012 EUR 1.3 million before extraordinary items); an increase of 53.8 per
cent from the same time last year. Profitability (EBIT %) was 6.9 (5.1) per
cent. In Q2 of 2012, operating profit after extraordinary items was EUR 0.7
million and profitability (EBIT%) was 2.8 per cent. 

Investments in international business strained the business cost structure,
especially at the beginning of the review period. 

Consolidated earnings before tax for the period totalled EUR 1.2 (1.5) million,
and net profit was EUR 0.9 (1.1) million. Consolidated earnings before tax for
the second quarter amounted to EUR 1.9 (0.4) million, and net profit after
taxes totalled EUR 1.3 (0.3) million. 

Consolidated earnings per share were EUR 0.02 (1-6/2012: EUR 0.08 before
extraordinary items and EUR 0.05 after extraordinary items). Consolidated
earnings per share in the second quarter were EUR 0.04 (1-6/2012: EUR 0.04
before extraordinary items and EUR 0.01 after extraordinary items). 

The Group's net financial expenses for the reporting period were EUR 0.3 (0.6)
million and for the second quarter EUR 0.0 (0.3) million. 



FINANCIAL POSITION AND EXPENDITURE

At the end of the reporting period, the Digia Group's consolidated balance
sheet total stood at EUR 95.2 million (12/2012: EUR 92.4 million) and the
equity ratio was 49.9 (12/2012: 52.6) per cent. Net gearing was 30.3 per cent
(12/2012: 27.5 cent).  Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period
totalled EUR 6.9 (12/2012: 8.3) million. 

Interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 19.4 (12/2012: 19.8) million at
the period end. These consisted of EUR 18.5 million in loans from financial
institutions and EUR 0.9 million in financial leasing liabilities. 

The Group's cash flow from operations for the period was positive by EUR 0.9
(6.5) million, cash flow from investments was negative by EUR 0.1 (1.2)
million, and cash flow from financing was negative by EUR 2.1 (5.1) million.
Cash flow from finance was negatively affected by the payment of dividends
totalling EUR 2.1 million in the reporting period. 

The Group has made no material investments in fixed assets during the review
period (1-6/2012: EUR 0.3 million). 

Return on investment (ROI) for the period was 5.8 (7.4) per cent, and return on
equity (ROE) was 2.9 (5.5) per cent. 

The Group carries out quarterly impairment testing of goodwill and intangible
assets with an indefinite useful life. The table below shows the distribution
of goodwill and values subject to testing at the end of the reporting period:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Present values were calculated for the forecast period based on the following
assumptions: Net sales and operating profit for the first two quarters of the
forecast period according to the confirmed figures for the latest two quarters,
and for the following two quarters according to budget. After this, annual
growth in net sales of 3.0 per cent and in operating profit of 10.0 per cent,
and a pre-tax discount rate of 9.4 per cent. Cash flows after the forecast
period were estimated by means of cash-flow extrapolation, applying the
assumptions given above. 

According to a completed sensitivity analysis, the goodwill requires either net
sales to remain at the current level with profitability of 5.6 per cent, or a
3.0 per cent growth in net sales with profitability of 3.1 per cent. The
management sees no risk of goodwill impairment. 



PERSONNEL, MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION

At the end of the period, the total number of Group personnel was 936,
representing a decrease of 46 employees or 4.7 per cent since the end of 2012
(982). During the reporting period the number of employees averaged 941, a
decrease of 84 employees or 8.2 per cent from the 2012 average (1,025).

As of the end of the period, 177 (12/2012: 195) employees were working abroad.

The Digia Plc Annual General Meeting of 12 March 2013 re-elected Päivi
Hokkanen, Robert Ingman, Kari Karvinen, Pertti Kyttälä, Seppo Ruotsalainen,
Leena Saarinen and Tommi Uhari as members of the Board. At the organisation
meeting of the Board, Pertti Kyttälä was elected Chairman of the Board and
Robert Ingman Vice Chairman. 

Juha Varelius has been Digia Plc's President and CEO since 1 January 2008.

Ernst & Young Oy, authorised public accountants, are the Group's auditors, with
Authorised Public Accountant Heikki Ilkka as the principal auditor. 



RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The company's short-term business risks and uncertainties were described in the
2012 Financial Statements. These are unchanged. 

Risks and their management are described on the company's website at
www.digia.com. 



FUTURE PROSPECTS

The company is focusing heavily on paving the way for growth. Besides organic
growth, the company will actively pursue opportunities to make carefully
considered business acquisitions that support its strategy. 

The company expects the IT market in Finland to remain at roughly the previous
year's level in 2013. 

Efforts will continue to develop the company's customer understanding and sales
and service portfolio, to ensure that it can offer increasingly competitive
services and solutions for boosting its customers' business efficiency. 

The company expects demand for its ERP systems, operational systems and
integration services to remain good, although increased caution on the customer
side and lengthening sales cycles may have an effect on future order intake. 

Customers' cost pressures and the resulting prudence are expected to affect the
demand for customer-specific solutions and services, particularly where major
projects are concerned. 

Strategy for the Russian business will be specified in more detail in the
second half of 2013. The Chinese unit will focus on Qt licence sales and
supporting service. 

Net sales from the Qt business are expected to continue growing, thereby
maintaining healthy operational profitability. However, net sales growth in the
second half of 2013 is expected to be more moderate than in the same period
last year. This is because Digia concluded a business transaction with Nokia in
the third quarter last year, which contributed to exceptionally active licence
sales and had a tremendous impact - EUR 3.8 million - on the quarter's net
sales. 

Digia will continue to make determined investments in its Qt business and
technology development in the second half. Efforts will also be made to build
up the company sales network, particularly in Asia. Digia plans to release new
products supporting the Qt business during the second half. Bid volume is good
considering the time and the overall market conditions. Digia expects the
increase in demand seen in the major customer markets to continue. In these
markets, contract turnaround times are very long, typically around 6-18 months,
which can cause significant fluctuation in quarterly net sales and particularly
profitability. 

Digia expects its overall net sales in 2013 to remain on the previous year's
level or to grow slightly. Profitability is expected to show a positive
development towards the end of the financial period. 



OTHER EVENTS DURING THE REVIEW PERIOD

Digia Plc's Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held on 12 March 2013. The AGM
adopted the financial statements for 2012, released the Board members and the
CEO from liability, determined Board emoluments, resolved to keep the number of
Board members at seven (7), and elected the company's Board of Directors for a
new term. 

With regard to profit distribution for 2012, the AGM approved the Board's
proposal to pay a dividend of EUR 0.10 per share to all shareholders listed in
the shareholder register maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd on the
reconciliation date of 15 March 2013. The dividend payment date was 22 March
2013. 

The AGM granted the following authorisations to the Board:

Authorisation of the Board of Directors to decide on buying back own shares
and/or accepting them as collateral 

The AGM authorised the Board to decide on the buyback and/or acceptance as
collateral of not more than 2,000,000 shares in the company. This buyback can
only be executed by means of the company's unrestricted equity. The Board shall
decide on how these shares are to be bought. Own shares may be bought back in
disproportion to the holdings of the shareholders. The authorisation also
includes acquisition of shares through public trading organised by NASDAQ OMX
Helsinki Oy in accordance with the rules and instructions of NASDAQ OMX
Helsinki and Euroclear Finland Ltd, or through offers made to shareholders.
Shares may be acquired in order to improve the company's capital structure, to
fund acquisitions or other business transactions, for offering share-based
incentive schemes, to sell on, or to be annulled. The shares must be acquired
at the market price in public trading. This authorisation supersedes that
granted by the AGM of 13 March 2012 and is valid for 18 months, i.e. until 12
September 2014. 

Authorising the Board of Directors to decide on a share issue and granting of
special rights 

The AGM authorised the Board to decide on an ordinary or bonus issue of shares
and the granting of special rights (as defined in Section 1, Chapter 10 of the
Limited Liability Companies Act) in one or more instalments, as follows: The
issue may total, at a maximum, 4,000,000 shares. The authorisation applies both
to new shares and to treasury shares held by the company. By virtue of the
authorisation, the Board has the right to decide on share issues and the
granting of special rights, in deviation from the pre-emptive subscription
rights of the shareholders (a directed issue). The authorisation may be used to
fund or complete acquisitions or other business transactions, for offering
share-based incentive schemes, to develop the company's capital structure, or
for other purposes.  The Board was authorised to decide on all terms related to
the share issue or special rights, including the subscription price, its
payment in cash or (partly or wholly) in capital contributed in kind or its
being written off against the subscriber's receivables, and its recognition in
the company's balance sheet. This authorisation supersedes that granted by the
AGM of 13 March 2012 and is valid for 18 months, i.e. until 12 September 2014. 

Based on the authorisation received, the Board decided on 12 March 2013 to make
a directed share issue of 33,326 to the company's management, in accordance
with Section 4 of Chapter 9 of the Limited Liability Companies Act, as part of
the payments related to the share-based incentive scheme for 2012.
