Comptel Corporation         Stock Exchange Release, 15 June 2012 at 11.30 am

Comptel reduces its guidance for 2012

Comptel reduces its financial guidance for 2012 given in April due to a weaker
than expected development of the Group's net sales and costs during the second
quarter of the year. Comptel's 2012 operating profit excluding one-off items is
estimated to represent 0 - 5 per cent of net sales. Due to the impairment loss
and one-off items, operating result is estimated to remain negative. Net sales
are estimated to grow approximately 10 per cent from 2011. 

According to earlier guidance, net sales were expected to grow over 10 per cent
in 2012 from the previous year. Following the impairment loss, operating result
was estimated to remain negative and operating profit excluding one-off items
to represent 5 - 10 per cent of net sales. 

The operating result for the second quarter this year will be impaired by costs
related to project deliveries and marketing as well as an increase in bad debt
provision. Revenue from license sales will remain low. 

Comptel will initiate actions to improve its profitability. The company aims to
achieve cost savings of approximately EUR 10 million on annual level. Comptel
will continue to invest in its strategic focus areas.
