REGULATED INFORMATION
Comptel - Interim report (Q1 and Q3)
Interim Report of Comptel Corporation for 1 January - 30 September 2011
Comptel Corporation Stock exchange release, 21 October 2011 at 8.00 am
In July - September, net sales grew from the previous year. Operating result
was EUR 8.0 million thanks to the Axioss transaction.
Key figures for the third quarter:
-- Net sales EUR 16.6 million (Q3 2010: 15.3)
-- Operating result EUR 8.0 million (0.0)
-- Operating result excluding one-off items EUR -0.8 million (0.0)
-- Earnings per share EUR 0.08 (-0.01)
-- Order backlog EUR 32.1 million (29.8)
Key figures for January - September:
-- Net sales EUR 53.5 million (Q1 - Q3 2010: 54.3)
-- Operating result EUR 9.0 million (4.0)
-- Operating result excluding one-off items EUR 0.2 million (4.0)
-- Earnings per share EUR 0.07 (0.01)
As earlier stated, Comptel's net sales in 2011 are estimated to remain at the
previous year's level or to decrease slightly. Following the Axioss
transaction, the operating profit for 2011 will clearly increase, but operating
profit excluding the deal-related one-off items will decrease from the previous
year.
Juhani Hintikka, President and CEO:
”During the third quarter, Comptel's business developed favourably in the
Middle East and the Americas. Net sales grew in Europe West, however, in the
region Europe East the deliveries remained few. Overall Comptel's net sales did
not meet our expectations. In part, the hiring of new employees and investments
in sales channels and service organisation had an impact on the operative
result. In September, we sold the Axioss fulfillment software to Cisco, which
generated a significant capital gain.
During the third quarter, we have been finalising Comptel's new strategy.
Communication Service Providers (CSPs) are increasingly looking for experts to
turn the explosion of data into a profitable business, and to manage the
growing complexity and cost by automating their processes. They need agility in
service and customer experience management to differentiate from competition.
Comptel will connect automation to real-time data collection and analysis, and
seek market leadership in these areas. In addition, we will continue developing
our services business. Professional services, outsourcing and business
consultancy will complement our technology offering, helping us become a
trusted partner in the business transformation process.
Partners will continue to play an important role in addressing the market. We
will expand our partnering with small, innovative companies lacking market
access, creating a new ecosystem.”
Business Review for the Third Quarter and January - September 2011
In the third quarter, Comptel's net sales grew by 8.6 per cent from the
previous year and were EUR 16.6 million (15.3). Net sales increased in Europe
West, in the Middle East and in the Americas. During January - September, net
sales slightly decreased from the previous year and were EUR 53.5 million
(54.3).
The sale of the Axioss software to Cisco was closed in September. The
consideration paid by Cisco was adjusted to EUR 22.1 million in cash. Following
the impairments of goodwill and R&D capitalisations, and other deal-related
expenses, the final net operating result impact of the transaction was EUR 8.8
million.
As a result of the Axioss transaction, the operating result rose to EUR 8.0
million (0.0) in the third quarter, representing 47.9 per cent of net sales.
The operating result excluding deal-related one-off items was EUR 0.8 million
negative (0.0). In January - September, the operating result excluding one-off
items was EUR 0.2 million (4.0) representing 0.4 per cent of net sales (7.4).
Investments in sales and service channels increased the operating expenses
compared to the previous year.
In January - September, profit before taxes was EUR 8.8 million (3.4) and net
result was EUR 7.0 million (1.6). Earnings per share for the review period were
EUR 0.07 (0.01).
Tax expense for the review period was EUR 1.8 million (1.8), of which EUR 1.1
(0.7) million were withholding taxes. The cumulative amount of outstanding
double withholding taxes payment is EUR 7.6 million since 2004.
The Group's order backlog increased from the previous year by 7.6 per cent and
was EUR 32.1 million (29.8) at the end of the period. Maintenance agreements
represent EUR 15.1 million (14.4) and other order backlog EUR 17.0 million
(15.4) of the total.

As of July 2011, Comptel has divided its European business into the regions of
Europe East and Europe West. Net sales and operating result remained low in
Europe East due to few projects especially in the Nordic countries. In Europe
West, delivery projects increased the net sales from the previous year. In
Asia-Pacific, the third quarter net sales and operating result remained lower
than in the previous year. However, the profitability of the region remained
strong in the review period of January - December. In the Middle East and
Africa as well as in the Americas, system deliveries increased the net sales
significantly which improved also the profitability compared to the previous
year.
In January - September, Comptel received 13 significant orders (Q1 - Q3 2010:
9), 3 fulfillment, 7 control & charge and 3 covering both of these main
solution areas. As of this year, Comptel is reporting sold projects and
licenses with a value of EUR 500,000 at the minimum, instead of new core
licenses which value exceed EUR 100,000. This reporting of significant orders
reflects better the nature of Comptel's business.

Subsequent Events
The Board of Directors of Comptel Corporation has decided to convene an
Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) to be held in Helsinki on 29 November 2011.
The Board proposes to the EGM that a repayment of capital of EUR 0.07 per share
and a dividend of EUR 0.03 per share be paid, totalling EUR 10,687,091. The
repayment of capital and the dividend are proposed to be paid in December 2011.
Near-term Risks and Uncertainties
Comptel develops dynamic end-to-end solutions for leading operators globally in
the telecom field. This requires Comptel to understand correctly the trends
taking place in its business environment and the needs of its customers and
resellers by each region. Failure to identify market conditions, address
customers' needs and develop its products in a timely way may significantly
undermine the growth of Comptel's business and its profitability.
Characteristics for Comptel's field of industry are significant quarterly
variations of net sales and profit, which are related to customers' purchasing
behaviour and the timing of major single deals.
Comptel is implementing a customer and partner intimate business model which
requires getting competent resources closer to key customers and partners in
certain growth markets.
Comptel operates globally so it is exposed to risks arising from different
currency positions. Exchange rate changes between the Euro, which is the
company's reporting currency, and the US Dollar, UK Pound Sterling and
Norwegian Krone affect the company's net sales, expenses and net profit.
The application process to prevent Comptel's double taxation is still pending
with the Ministry of Finance in Finland. Comptel is striving to change the
treatment of its withholding taxation for those countries where the issue is
still pending. Resolving the matter between states, however, includes factors
beyond the Company's control.
The risks and uncertainties of Comptel are described more in detail in
Comptel's annual report 2010.
Outlook
Comptel's net sales in 2011 are estimated to remain at the previous year's
level or to decrease slightly. Following the Axioss transaction, the operating
profit for 2011 will clearly increase, but operating profit excluding the
deal-related one-off items will decrease from the previous year.

clarifies the definition of a related party and relaxes the disclosure
requirements of business operations between public enterprises.
Improvements to IFRSs (May 2010) (mainly effective for financial periods
beginning on or after 1 July 2010). Under this procedure minor and non-urgent
amendments are grouped together and carried out through a single document
annually.

3. Income tax expense
Tax expense according to the statement of comprehensive income for the period
was EUR 1,789 thousand (EUR 1,826 thousand 2010).
In 2006, Adjustment of the Tax Office for Major Corporations refused to accept

receivables for taxes withheld in 2004 -2008. The refund process pertaining to
these countries is still pending with the relevant tax authorities. Comptel is
pursuing the negotiations with the Ministry of Finance and other countries that
have withheld tax at source to avoid double taxation.
According to the Board of Adjustment's decision currently in force, Comptel
Corporation has expensed taxes withheld at source amounting to EUR 1,020
thousand in January - September (EUR 713 thousand).
