Comptel - Interim report (Q1 and Q3)
INTERIM REPORT OF COMPTEL CORPORATION 1 JANUARY - 31 MARCH 2014
Stock exchange release 17 April 2014 at 8.00 am
INTERIM REPORT OF COMPTEL CORPORATION 1 JANUARY - 31 MARCH 2014
Profitability and strong cash flow despite lower level of y-o-y net sales.
-- Net sales EUR 18.0 (January - March 2013: 21.2), change -14.9%
-- Operating result EUR 1.0 million (1.0)
-- Earnings per share EUR 0.00 (-0.01)
-- Order backlog EUR 42.2 million (50.1), change -15.8%
Comptel's operating result for 2014 is expected to be EUR 5-10 million. The
2014 revenue is expected to remain at the 2013 level while the new solutions
are expected to grow from Q2 onwards.
Juhani Hintikka, President and CEO:
”Our order backlog increased from last quarter and we won three new customers
during the first quarter of 2014. Our first quarter revenue declined year over
year due seasonality swings between quarters. We divested one of our legacy
businesses that also contributed slightly negatively to our order intake and
revenue.
Market conditions continue to be challenging but we are making progress with
our product offering. We won a new analytics solution project in Q1 with a
leading Asian operator, Globe Telecom. Our profitability improved compared to
the first quarter of last year and our cost base is now lower due to earlier
implemented cost saving measures. We maintained a strong cash flow throughout
the quarter and currently our cash exceeds our bank debt.
During the quarter we signed a strategic partnership with Tech Mahindra and we
also won our first joint project after the partnership agreement.”
Business Review of the First Quarter 2014
Comptel's net sales declined in the first quarter by 14.9 per cent from the

5.3 per cent of net sales (4.9). The earlier implemented cost saving measures
have improved the cost base
Result before taxes was EUR 0.8 million (0.1) and net result was EUR 0.2
million (-0.6).

million (50.1) at the end of the period.

The AGM appointed Ernst & Young Oy as the company's auditor. Mr Heikki Ilkka is
acting as the principal auditor.
The AGM resolved that dividend of 0.01 EUR per share will be paid for 2013.
The AGM authorised the Board of Directors to decide on share issues amounting
to a maximum of 21,400,000 new shares and on repurchase or conveying of the

Events after the Reporting Period
There were no significant events after the reporting period.
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 to 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's business consists of deliveries of large productised IT system and
the value of a single project may be several million euros. Therefore, the risk
or credit risk associated with a single project or an individual customer may
be significant. Furthermore, some of Comptel's customers operate in countries
that are or have been war zone which in part may increase credit risk.
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
Malaysian Ringgit 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. However, the process between the
states is very slow and the timing of a change is hard to forecast. The
interpretation of tax treaties may result in different views between the
countries in question. This could mean that the double taxation will prevail.
Comptel has also applications for return of withholding taxes in other
countries but they are subject to local legal processes, which take time to get
completed.
The risks and uncertainties of Comptel are described more in detail in the
company's financial statements and the Board of Directors' report for 2013.
Outlook
Comptel's operating result for 2014 is expected to be EUR 5-10 million. The
2014 revenue is expected to remain at the 2013 level while the new solutions
are expected to grow from Q2 onwards.
Characteristically a significant part of Comptel's operating profit and net
sales is generated in the second half of the year.

3. Income tax
Income tax expense according to the statement of comprehensive income for the
period was EUR 623 thousand (EUR 703 thousand).
In 2006, the Board of Adjustment of the Tax Office for Major Corporations
refused to accept the crediting of taxes withheld at source in taxation of 2004
and 2005.
The application process to prevent Comptel's double taxation is still pending
with the Ministry of Finance in Finland. However, the process between the
states is very slow and the timing of a change is hard to forecast. The
interpretation of tax treaties may result in different views between the
countries in question. This could mean that the double taxation will prevail.
According to the Board of Adjustment's decision currently in force, Comptel
Corporation has expensed taxes withheld at source amounting to EUR 665 thousand
in January - March (EUR 413 thousand).
