Outlook for 2012

Comments by CEO Jukka Rinnevaara on Q4/2011

Net sales, operating profit and orders received increased in both business
areas in the last quarter of 2011. In the fourth quarter we achieved the
highest net sales in our history. Year-on-year improvement in the operating
profit and relative profitability of Video and Broadband Solutions was
particularly positive. This development is explained by the good level in
deliveries of optical devices and the Luminato headend. In addition, the
delivery for the Paris urban area video surveillance project succeeded as
planned. 

Operating profit and relative profitability of Network Services improved
clearly over the comparative period. The development program for the German
services operations started to have a positive impact on the operating profit
in Q4, yet the desired result for the entire year was not achieved. This
development program will be continued determinedly with its aim set at clear
improvement in profitability. 

Good news for Q4 also includes the Group's operating cash flow, which was
clearly positive and showed an improvement from the period of comparison. 



Group Operations in Q4/2011

Net sales grew by 14.6% amounting to EUR 53.4 (46.6) million. Operating profit
increased 39.2% to EUR 4.1 (3.0) million, or 7.7% (6.4%) of net sales.
Undiluted result per share was EUR 0.17 (0.12). Operating cash flow stood at
EUR 4.5 (0.9) million. 

Orders received improved by 5.2% standing at EUR 53.5 (50.8) million. Orders in
the comparative period included the Paris urban area video surveillance project
of EUR 6.9 million. The Group's order backlog totaled EUR 21.2 (17.0) million. 

Group Operations in January-December 2011

- Net sales increased 9.4% to EUR 183.6 (167.8) million
- Operating profit grew by 26.2% equaling EUR 9.4 (7.4) million
- Undiluted result per share stood at EUR 0.36 (0.27)
- Year-on-year orders received increased by 12.5% amounting to EUR 188.1
(167.2) million 
- Orders received by Video and Broadband Solutions increased by 7.8% and
amounted to EUR 93.3 (86.5) million 
- Orders received by Network Services increased by 17.5% and totaled EUR 94.8
(80.7) million 
- Net cash flow from operating activities was EUR 2.1 (5.4) million
- The Board of Directors proposes that a dividend of EUR 0.14 (0.12) per
outstanding share will be paid. 

Video and Broadband Solutions in Q4

Net sales grew by 21.0% amounting to EUR 27.7 (22.9) million. Net sales
increased, especially in France and Russia. Operating profit increased 29.5% to
EUR 3.1 (2.4) million, or 11.1% (10.3%) of net sales. Orders received improved
by 5.9% standing at EUR 28.7 (27.1) million. Order backlog totaled EUR 20.3
(17.0) million. 

Video and Broadband Solutions in January-December 2011

Year-on-year net sales grew by 9.4% amounting to EUR 89.7 (82.0) million. This
increase in net sales was mainly due to higher delivery volumes in video
surveillance and integration projects as well as optical product solutions.
Operating profit increased 29.6% to EUR 8.2 (6.3) million, or 9.2% (7.7%) of
net sales. This improvement in operating profit over the reference year was
brought about by growth in net sales and successful project deliveries. Orders
received increased by 7.8% and amounted to EUR 93.3 (86.5) million with the
order backlog of EUR 20.3 (17.0) million. 

The R&D efforts by the business area focused on the IP-based video processing
system (the Luminato product range) and the video surveillance transmission
system based on H.264 standard. R&D efforts were continued on amplifier
technology (the Access product range), optical transmission system for HFC
network (the HDO product range) as well as video surveillance management system
(VMX). 

Network Services in Q4

Net sales grew by 8.3% amounting to EUR 25.7 (23.8) million. Operating profit
increased 77.4% to EUR 1.1 (0.6) million, or 4.2% (2.5%) of net sales.
Development program of the services operations was continued in Germany. 

Orders received increased by 4.4% standing at EUR 24.8 (23.8) million.
Deliveries by the business area are mainly based on framework agreements. At
the year-end, order backlog stood at EUR 0.9 million, and it involves the fiber
project received in June of EUR 3.7 million. 

Network Services in January-December 2011

Net sales grew by 9.4% amounting to EUR 93.9 (85.8) million. Operating profit
equaled EUR 1.2 (1.1) million. Operating profit remained at par with the
comparative period, which was partly due to increased personnel resources for
fiber projects in Germany. Moreover, expenses were increased and operating
profit was reduced by limited sub-contracting resources and severe weather in
the beginning of the year. Orders received increased by 17.5% and totaled EUR
94.8 (80.7) million with the order backlog standing at EUR 0.9 (0.0) million.
The German development program fell short of the set goal. 

Investments and Financing in January-December 2011

Net investments by the Group amounted to EUR 5.2 (3.8) million, or 2.9% (2.2%)
of net sales. The largest product development investments involved Luminato
video processing system (EUR 1.9 million) and video surveillance management
system (EUR 0.6 million). Investment for the Littoinen extension project
totaled EUR 1.1 million. Investments in tools and measuring equipment amounted
to EUR 1.3 million while those in information systems equaled EUR 0.5 million.
Investments of EUR 0.3 (0.1) million were carried out under financial lease
arrangements. In Finland, pieces of real estate were sold for EUR 0.7 million. 

The Group's liquidity was good throughout the financial year. Operating cash
flow stood at EUR 2.1 (5.4) million. Accounts receivable did not result in
substantial credit losses. The need for working capital bound by growth was
financed by credit facilities of EUR 6 million in interest-bearing loan. At the
end of the period, the amount of unused binding stand-by credits amounted to
EUR 7.5 (13.5) million. The current binding stand-by credit facilities of EUR
40.0 million are valid till November 2013. The Group's equity ratio equaled
41.6% (43.6%) while net gearing was 32.2% (25.5%). On 31 December 2011, the
Group's interest-bearing debt stood at EUR 33.2 (28.0) million. 

R&D expenditure for the financial period totaled EUR 11.6 (10.3) million making
6.3% (6.1%) of net sales. Teleste's product development expenses focused on
Video and Broadband Solutions, the R&D expenditure of which amounted to 12.9%
(12.6%) of net sales. 

Personnel and Organization in January-December 2011

In 2011, the Group employed an average of 1,297 people (1,215/2010,
1,103/2009). At the year-end, the figure totaled 1,319 (1,231/2010, 1,260/2009)
of which 72% (70%/2010, 68%/2009) were stationed overseas. At the end of the
accounting period, rented workforce involved 26 people. This figure is not
included in the number of personnel. Employees stationed outside Europe
accounted for less than 5% of the Group's personnel. 

Expenditure on employee benefits amounted to EUR 54.6 (50.8/2010, 44.6/2009)
million. The year-on-year growth in employee benefits was brought about by
re-establishment of full employment in the Finnish operations, and due to
increase in staffing levels of Network Services in Germany and the UK. 

Key Risks faced by the Business Areas

Founded in 1954, Teleste is a technology and service provider consisting of two
business areas: Video and Broadband Solutions and Network Services. The main
market is Europe and the main customers are the European cable operators as
well as specified organizations in the public sector. 

Concerning Video and Broadband Solutions, integrated deliveries of solutions
create favorable conditions for growth, even if the involved resource
allocation and technical implementation pose a challenge involving reasonable
risks. 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. Also the exchange rate development of the Chinese renminbi to
euro affects our material costs. The company hedges against short-term currency
risk by means of forward contracts. The tight financial market in Europe may
slow down the customers' investment plans. Natural phenomena, such as floods
and earthquakes, may reduce the availability of components. The right
technology choices and their timing are crucial to 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 services by
any one of them is reflected in the actual deliveries. Improvements in customer
satisfaction and productivity require efficient control of service process
management as well as innovative solutions in processes, products and logistics
to ensure the quality of services and cost effectiveness. Smooth operation of
cable networks necessitates efficient technical management of the networks and
functional solutions for devices in accordance with contractual obligations.
This, in turn, requires continuous and determined development of skill levels
in Teleste's own personnel as well as those of our subcontractors. Besides,
availability of subcontractor network capacity may restrict our ability to
deliver. 

The business areas will have to keep an eye on market movements, such as
consolidations among the customers and competitors. Severe weather conditions
have an impact on the business areas' ability to deliver products and services. 

The Board of Directors annually reviews any essential risks related to the
company operation and the management thereof. Risk management is an integral
part of the strategic and operational activities of the business areas. Risks
and their probability are reported to the Board in conjunction with regular
monthly reports. 

The Company has covered the most significant operational hazard risks of the
Business areas by insurance. Insurance does not cover credit loss risks. In the
period under review, no such risks materialized, nor was there any pending
litigation or legal proceedings, which would have had any relevance to the
Group's operations. 

Group Structure

Teleste Kaurakatu Oy was sold in October 2011. Cableway Nord GmbH was merged
with Cableway Mitte GmbH, whose name was changed to Cableway Nord GmbH.
Cableway Nord Mitte GmbH&KG and Cableway North West GmbH&KG were merged into
Teleste Services GmbH. 

The parent company has branch offices in Australia, the Netherlands, China and
Denmark, with subsidiaries in 12 countries outside Finland. 

Due to financial arrangements, Teleste Management Oy and Teleste Management II
Oy, owned by the members of the Management Group, have been merged with the
Teleste Corporation figures. 

Decisions by the Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Teleste Corporation held on 8 April 2011
confirmed the financial statements for 2010 and discharged the Board of
Directors and the CEO from liability for the financial period. The AGM
confirmed the dividend of EUR 0.12 per share as proposed by the Board. The
dividend was paid out on 20 April 2011. 

Marjo Miettinen, Pertti Ervi, Tero Laaksonen, Pertti Raatikainen, Kai Telanne
and Peter Walldén were elected members of the Board by the Annual General
Meeting. Marjo Miettinen was elected chairperson in the organizing meeting of
the Board held immediately after the AGM. 

Authorized Public Accountants KPMG Oy Ab continue as the auditor until the next
AGM. Esa Kailiala, accountant authorized by the Central Chamber of Commerce of
Finland, was chosen auditor-in-charge. 

The AGM authorized 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 authorized the Company Board to issue 5,000,000 new
shares. Pursuant to the special rights provided by the Company, the maximum
number of significant shares is 2,500,000; these special rights are included in
the authorization to issue 5,000,000 new shares. 

Shares and Changes in Share Capital

On 31 December 2011, EM Group Oy was the largest single shareholder with the
holding of 21.08%. 

In the period under review, the lowest Company share price was EUR 2.50 (3.64)
while the highest was EUR 4.82 (5.33). Closing price on 31 December 2011 stood
at EUR 3.00 (4.41). According to Euroclear Finland Ltd, the number of
shareholders at the end of the period under review was 5,054 (5,184). Foreign
ownership accounted for 7.76% (8.38%). From 1 January to 31 December 2011,
trading with Teleste share at NASDAQ OMX Helsinki amounted to EUR 6.2 (14.2)
million. In the period under review, 1.7 (3.2) million Teleste shares were
traded on the stock exchange. 

In December 2011, the Board decided on a directed share issue of 542,000 shares
to Teleste Management II Oy, founded by the Management Group members of Teleste
Corporation. This directed share issue was authorized by the AGM on 8 April
2011. 

On 31 December 2011, the Group held a total of 1,302,985 own shares (760,985),
of which the parent company Teleste Corporation had none (0) while other Group
companies or controlled companies had 1,302,985 shares. At the end of the
period, the Group's holding of the total amount of shares amounted to 6.96%
(4.18%). Based on the rights of options, the Company's holding of shares may
increase by 840,000 shares equaling to 4.29% of all shares and votes. 

On 31 December 2011, Teleste's registered share capital stood at EUR
6,966,932.80 divided in 18,728,590 shares. 

Teleste Corporation complies with the Corporate Governance Code, effective as
of 1 October 2010 and issued by the Securities Market Association for the
Finnish listed companies. Since 1 March 2000, Teleste complies with the insider
guidelines issued by the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Oy in their valid form at any
given time. 

Outlook for 2012

In our estimation, deliveries of equipment and solutions in 2012 for the
operator clientele by Video and Broadband Solutions will reach at least the
2011 level. European telecom operators have launched TV distribution
infrastructure investments, and in our view, Teleste's optical products and IP
network solutions are competitive in this new emerging market. 

In our estimate, demand on the annual level for services by Network Services
continues relatively stable. We believe that in the main market area of Germany
the operating profit will improve from the 2011 level due to more efficient
resource management. 

Net sales and operating profit will grow over the 2011 level.

The Board's proposal for the distribution of dividends

Parent company Teleste Corporation's distributable equity on the balance sheet
date is EUR 36,775,101.54. 

The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting to be held on 3
April 2012 that a dividend be paid for 2011 of EUR 0.14 (EUR 0.12) per share
for the outstanding shares.
