2010-02-09 06:59:26 CET 2010-02-09 07:00:25 CET REGULATED INFORMATION Comptel - Financial Statement ReleaseCOMPTEL CORPORATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR 2009COMPTEL Financial statement release 9 February 2010 at 8.00 am COMPTEL CORPORATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR 2009 October-December operating profit grew from the previous year, net sales and order backlog slightly lower. Key Figures for the Fourth Quarter Net sales EUR 21.6 million (October-December 2008: 23.2) Operating profit EUR 3.1 million (2.9) Operating profit excluding one-off items EUR 3.7 million (3.3) Earnings per share EUR 0.01 (0.02) Order backlog EUR 37.6 million (38.8) Key Figures for the Full Year Net sales EUR 74.9 million (2008: 84.8) Operating profit EUR 1.0 million (11.4) Operating profit excluding one-off items EUR 3.5 million (12.5) Earnings per share EUR -0.02 (0.06) Number of employees at the year end 587 (653) Board of Directors proposes a dividend of EUR 0.03 (0.04) per share be paid for 2009. Comptel's net sales and operating profit are estimated to grow in 2010. The full year operating profit margin is forecast to be 8-12 per cent. However, in the first quarter net sales are estimated to remain at the previous year's level or to decrease slightly, which may lead to a negative operating result. The full year financial information in this stock exchange release is based on the company's audited financial statements. The auditor's report was issued on 8 February 2010. Sami Erviö, President and CEO: ”Comptel performed as planned during the last quarter. Net sales remained at the previous year's good level in Asia and in the Middle East, and increased to almost the previous year's level in Europe. The situation in Europe became better: in October-December Comptel sold six new core licenses, all in Europe. The Group's order backlog remained at the previous year's level. In the last quarter, the Group's operating profit improved from the previous year. The operating profit includes one-off items of approximately EUR 0.5 million related to the restructuring of the European organisation. In 2009, the global recession had an impact on telecom operators' investments and it decreased the demand for operations support systems in Europe and in the Americas. The low order flow in Europe especially during the first half of the year decreased Comptel's full year net sales. The cost savings, which were commenced in the beginning of the year, realised according to plan. We continued actively to focus R&D and to position our offering away from point solutions towards dynamic end-to-end solutions. The customer service centre operations and resources set-up in Bulgaria were significantly expanded during the year.” Summary of January-December 2009 The net sales of Comptel Group were EUR 74.9 million (84.8) in 2009. Net sales decreased 11.7 per cent (increased 3.0) from the previous year. Low license sales especially in the European and American markets decreased net sales. In October-December, net sales decreased 6.7 per cent from the previous year and were EUR 21.6 million (23.2). The Group's operating profit was EUR 1.0 million (11.4), which corresponds 1.4 per cent (13.4) of net sales. The operating profit, excluding one-off items of EUR 2.5 million (1.1) related to personnel reductions, was EUR 3.5 million (12.5), which corresponds 4.7 per cent (14.7) of net sales. In October-December, the operating profit was EUR 3.1 million (2.9), which is 14.5 per cent (12.3) of net sales. Excluding one-off items of EUR 0.5 million, the operating profit was EUR 3.7 million (3.3) in the last quarter. Net financial items were EUR 0.7 million negative (0.9 negative). The Group's profit before taxes was EUR 0.4 million (10.6), representing 0.5 per cent (12.5) of net sales. Group net loss was EUR 2.1 million (net profit 6.6). Earnings per share for the financial period were EUR -0.02 (0.06). Tax expense for the year 2009 was EUR 2.5 million (4.0), of which EUR 1.2 million (1.5) were withholding taxes due to double taxation. The cumulative amount of double paid withholding taxes is EUR 6.6 million. The respective countries and the Ministry of Finance in Finland are still negotiating on the recovery of the withholding taxes. The company believes the treatment of its withholding taxation will be changed. The Group's order backlog remained at the previous year's level and was EUR 37.6 million (38.8) at the end of the period. During the first and last quarter, Comptel was engaged in personnel negotiations in Finland and in Norway. As a result of these negotiations, the company adjusted its headcount in line with the reduced demand especially in Europe. With these measures, the Group will reach annual cost savings of approximately EUR 8 million compared to the year-end level of 2008. In 2009, cost savings of approximately EUR 6 million were realised.

The decline of net sales in Europe decelerated during the second part of the year. In Asia-Pacific, net sales remained at the previous year's level and the growth continued in the Middle East and Africa. The decrease of net sales and the investments in developing new business impaired the operating result significantly in the Americas. The profitability strengthened in Asia-Pacific and remained good in the Middle East and Africa. In Europe, the profitability improved during the latter part of the year. In 2009, Comptel sold a total of 19 (21) new core licenses of which five were Comptel Mediation and Charging, five Comptel Control and Charge, four Comptel Provisioning and Activation, two Comptel Fulfillment, one Comptel Order Management, one Comptel Inventory and one Comptel Service Repository. Ten licenses were sold in Europe, five in the Middle East and Africa, three in Asia-Pacific and one in the Americas. In October-December, Comptel sold six (9) new core licenses of which five were newly launched Comptel Control and Charge and one Comptel Mediation and Charging. The license deals were all concluded in Europe. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Net sales breakdown | 1-12 | 1-12 | Change% | 10-12 | 10-12 | Change | | by type EUR million | 2009 | 2008 | | 2009 | 2008 | % | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Licenses | 19.7 | 27.4 | -28.2 | 8.1 | 8.1 | -0.7 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Services and | 55.2 | 57.5 | -3.9 | 13.6 | 15.0 | -9.9 | | maintenance | | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Total | 74.9 | 84.8 | -11.7 | 21.6 | 23.2 | -6.7 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Low license sales increased the relative proportion of services and maintenance in full year figures; the share of license sales grew during the last quarter. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Net sales by sales | 1-12 | 1-12 | Change | 10-12 | 10-12 | Change% | | channel | 2009 | 2008 | % | 2009 | 2008 | | | EUR million | | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Direct sales | 51.7 | 60.4 | -14.3 | 14.3 | 16.4 | -12.7 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Partner sales | 23.1 | 24.5 | -5.4 | 7.3 | 6.8 | 7.8 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Total | 74.9 | 84.8 | -11.7 | 21.6 | 23.2 | -6.7 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The breakdown of sales channel did not change significantly in 2009; the share of partner sales increased in the last quarter.

Comptel's R&D expenditure and investments were mainly targeted at developing new dynamic end-to-end solutions, which enable service providers to shorten time-to-market for new services and to charge for them. Comptel continued the development of all of its main products to further improve competitiveness and to offer new features and functionalities.

The Annual General Meeting, held on 16 March 2009, approved the Board of Directors' proposal for a dividend, according to which a dividend of EUR 0.04 per share was paid for 2008. The Annual General Meeting decided to issue share options to the key personnel of the Comptel Group and granted the Board of Directors authorisations to decide on share issues amounting to a maximum of 21,400,000 new shares and on repurchase to a maximum of 10,700,000 own shares. Based on this authorisation, a number of 211,350 own shares were repurchased in 2009. The authorisations to share issues and repurchase the own shares are valid until 30 June 2010. Corporate Governance The Annual General Meeting, held on 16 March 2009, elected the following members for the Board of Directors: Mr Olli Riikkala, Mr Hannu Vaajoensuu, Mr Timo Kotilainen, Mr Juhani Lassila and Mr Petteri Walldén. In 2009, the Group Executives were Mr Sami Erviö, President and CEO, the business area leaders Mr Harri Palviainen (Europe) until 26 August, Mr Mika Korpinen (Asia-Pacific), Mr Youssef Kermoury (Middle East and Africa) and Mr Ricardo Carreon (Americas), Mr Minesh Patel responsible for Global Alliances and Sales Development, Ms Arnhild Schia responsible for Strategic Marketing, Mr Simo Sääskilahti responsible for Products and Solutions, Mr Gareth Senior (CTO), Mr Markku Pirskanen (CFO as of 20 April, Mr Veli Matti Salmenkylä until 15 March), Ms Niina Pesonen, responsible for Human Resources, and Mr Markku Järvenpää responsible for Global Operations Support. Mr Ricardo Carreon left the company on 14 January 2010. Mr Simo Sääskilahti, Senior Vice President of Products and Solutions, was appointed to Deputy CEO of Comptel Corporation as of 1 December 2009. Mr Timo Koistinen, M.Sc (Engineering), was nominated as Senior Vice President Europe region, effective as of 1 January 2010. Near-term Risks and Uncertainties The recovery of operations support system markets may be delayed in Europe and in the North America, and the demand can weaken also in other regions. Comptel develops dynamic end-to-end solutions for leading operators 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 Comptel's business and profitability. 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 submitted by Comptel to prevent double taxation is still pending with the Ministry of Finance in Finland. The company believes the treatment of its withholding taxation will be changed also concerning the countries where the issue is still unsolved. The risks and uncertainties of Comptel will be described more in detail as a part of the financial statements and the report of the board of directors for 2009. Outlook for 2010 The weakening of operations support system markets has halted according to our view, and the situation is stable. There are no clear signs yet of sustained market recovery, but we anticipate a cautious growth to begin during the second half of the year. Comptel's net sales and operating profit are estimated to grow in 2010. The full year operating profit margin is forecast to be 8-12 per cent. However, in the first quarter net sales are estimated to remain at the previous year's level or to decrease slightly, which may lead to a negative operating result. Board of Directors' Proposal for the Disposal of Profits The Group parent company's distributable equity on 31 December 2009 was EUR 29,167,506.81 (35,326,977.62). The Board of Directors proposes to the General Meeting that a dividend of EUR 0.03 (0.04) per share be paid, totalling EUR 3,197,119.68 (4,278,486.24). Helsinki, 8 February 2010 Board of Directors Sami Erviö President and CEO TABLE PART The full year financial information in this stock exchange release is based on the company's audited financial statements.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes 1. Application of new or amended standards and interpretations On 1 January 2009 the Group adopted the following new and amended standards and interpretations endorsed by the EU and that are applicable to Comptel: IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (revised 2007). The amendments have mainly changed the presentation format of the income statement and the statement of changes in equity. IFRS 8 Operating Segments. Under IFRS 8 identification of segments is based on the reporting used for internal reporting purposes to the top management. IFRS 8 has not changed the reportable segments of the Comptel Group. IFRS 2 Sharebased Payment - Vesting conditions and Cancellations. The amended standard requires all non-vesting conditions to be taken into account when determining the fair value of the equity instruments granted. The amendment has not had any impact on the financial statements of Comptel. Improvements to IFRSs (Annual Improvements 2007). The amendments to the standards have not had significant impact on the financial statements of Comptel. Amendments to IFRS 7 Financial instruments: Disclosures - Improving disclosures about Financial Instruments. The changes were implemented as a result of the international financial crises in March 2009. A three level hierarchy will be introduced to disclose the fair values of financial instruments. The amended standard also requires that additional information is presented to facilitate the estimation of the reliability of the fair values of financial instruments. The amendments also clarify and expand earlier requirements in presenting information on liquidity risk. These changes have increased the scope of disclosures required to be presented in the financial statements. 2. Segment information IFRS 8 Operating Segments standard became effective on 1 January 2009. According to the standard operating segment information must be based on management reporting and accounting principles followed therein. Comptel Group's operating segment reporting is conforming to IFRS standards. Adoption of IFRS 8 Operating Segments did not change the reported operating segments or items allocated or not allocated to the segments of Comptel Group, or the definitions of such items. The assessment of the operating results and resource allocation is based on the operating profit or loss of the segment in Comptel Group. The President and CEO of Comptel Group is ultimately responsible for these decisions.

Business combinations On 21 April 2008, Comptel Corporation acquired all the shares of Axiom Systems Holdings Limited. The purchase price was GBP 7.0 million (EUR 8.9 million). During the first quarter 2009, the purchase price was adjusted to GBP 6.8 million (EUR 8.6 million). 4. Income tax expense Tax expense according to the statement of comprehensive income for the period was EUR 2,526 thousand (EUR 3,972 thousand). In 2006, 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 Ministry of Finance has come to an agreement with Greece, Malaysia and Romania. Relating to these countries, Comptel has booked EUR 725 thousand tax 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. Comptel believes the treatment of its withholding taxation will be changed. According to the Board of Adjustment's decision currently in force, Comptel Corporation has expensed taxes withheld at source amounting to EUR 1,234 thousand in January - December (EUR 1,499 thousand). 5.
