CEO'S BUSINESS REVIEW

The company solidified its leadership in encryption and server access control
in 2013.  Its focus around cybersecurity in large computing systems utilizing
the SSH protocol has given the company a unique position. The company's
solutions for managing security, encryption, auditing, and authentication have
received significant attention from international press and analysts. 

Revenue growth in 2013 was moderate, with sales growing 12% compared to the
previous year.  The company was profitable for the second consecutive year
despite heavy investments in R&D and market creation.  Cash flow from
operations was positive.  Personnel grew 41% year-on-year in anticipation of
the next phase of growth. 

The outlook going forward is positive.  The company has invested heavily in
market creation, technology leadership, quality, and initial customer success
stories for new products.  This now manifests in an increased number of inbound
leads and active sales cases.   Several major customers have budgeted for
significant purchases of the company's solutions for the coming year.  The SSH
protocol market is going strong and desperately needs solutions for managing
key-based access and auditing encrypted traffic in large IT environments. 

Many countries have painfully realized that information systems are widely used
for espionage and that vendors in certain countries have been made to insert
backdoors into their products.  Cybersecurity solutions from trusted sources
are in high need, and the company's deep expertise in encryption, key
management, authentication, and distributed systems opens major new growth
opportunities in government markets. 

Finally, the company's intellectual property portfolio has matured and is ready
for commercial licensing.  This revenue source will be developed in the coming
year and technology licensing may contribute significantly to the company's
growth in the coming years. 

In view of these factors, the company is well positioned for faster growth and
higher profitability in the coming year, although the first months of the year
are still looking somewhat challenging.

NET SALES

Consolidated net sales for October-December totaled EUR 4.1 million (EUR 3.6
million), up by 13.1%, year on year. 

Consolidated net sales for January-December totaled EUR 13.3 million (EUR 11.9
million), up by 11.9%, year on year. 

Sales growth was due to strong sales growth of Universal SSH Key Manager and
CryptoAuditor, especially in EMEA. Consulting sales around new solutions grew
remarkably. Longer than anticipated sales cycles impacted license sales growth.
Negative development in maintenance revenue was mainly caused by cleaning
customer maintenance contracts during 2012 (additional maintenance revenue in
2012) and the weakening of USD. Customers in AMER and APAC started to move to
new solutions slower than anticipated. 

The Americas; Europe, Middle East and Africa; and the Asia Pacific region
accounted for 39.6% (50.6%), 49.5% (36.1%) and 10.9% (13.2%) of reported net
sales, respectively.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Largest risks that might impact the profitability of the company are listed
below. Other risks, which are currently either unknown or considered immaterial
to SSH Communications Security may, however, become material in the future.
Largest risks: 
- continuing uncertainty of the macroeconomic environment
- delays on product development and closing new business
- competitiveness of the product portfolio including intellectual property (IPR)
-  litigation, especially in the U.S. market
-  competitive dynamics in the industry
-  ability of the organization to scale up operations with the growth
-  large portion of the company revenue is invoiced in USD currency so possible
large fluctuation in USD currency rates during 2014 could have unpredictable
effects for profitability that are at the time difficult to estimate. Currently
USD currency position is not hedged, and company decides hedging of USD based
contracts case by case. 

Principles and organization of risk management of SSH Communications Security
can be read from company´s webpage: www.ssh.com. 


FUTURE OUTLOOK

In 2014, SSH Communications Security estimates its revenue to grow
significantly and profitability to improve.  During the first half of the year
the sales growth can be smaller with possibilities to losses due to timing of
sizeable deals.
