Juhani Hintikka, President and CEO:

“I’m very pleased with our progress in the second quarter. This was the 8th
consecutive quarter we produced year-on-year growth. Compared to the previous
year, our net sales grew 16.4 per cent in the second quarter and 11.7 per cent
in the first half of the year. Company’s strategy execution progressed well in
all areas and second quarter results improved significantly compared to
previous year. 

We are also pleased that both of our business units were growing on a
year-over-year basis. In the second quarter, Intelligent Data grew by 8.9 per
cent and Service Orchestration by 22.2 per cent. Both business units have
currently a strong demand for their solutions. 

Regionally net sales growth was strong in both APAC and EMEA, both regions
growing significantly in the second quarter and also compared to the previous
year. From a growth perspective, we currently see challenges in our South
Americas region. 

Also our profitability is improving and our previously made investments are
yielding results. In the second quarter, our operating profit was 11.7 per cent
of net sales. 

Our backlog continued to be strong and we managed to close several multi-year
deals in the second quarter. These will give us visibility and a good
foundation also for the coming years. 

The FWD application continued to attract customer interest. We signed our first
large-scale FWD deployment in APAC. There are several customer negotiations
ongoing which creates a good foundation for growth in coming years. 

In the second quarter, we received two favorable rulings from the Indian tax
authorities related to old withholding taxes. We are still investigating and
assessing the process of refunds. The outcome of these rulings has not been
reflected in the financials at this stage. 

During the second quarter, we secured 13 significant orders (Q2 2015:9), valued
over EUR 0.5 million.” 


Business Review of the Second Quarter and the First Half of 2016

Comptel’s net sales grew in the second quarter by 16.4 per cent compared to the
previous year, to EUR 25.3 million (21.7). Net sales growth continued due to
the increased order intake in the first half of the year and the strong backlog
in the beginning of the quarter. Comptel’s net sales grew by 19.7 per cent in
Asia-Pacific and by 20.7 per cent in EMEA. 

In the first half of the year, Comptel’s net sales grew by 11.7 per cent
compared to previous year and was 47.7 million (42.7). Both business units grew
in the first half, Intelligent Data unit by 11.6 per cent and Service
Orchestration unit by 11.7 per cent. 

The operating result for the second quarter was EUR 3.0 million (0.6), which
corresponds to 11.8 per cent of net sales (2.6). The improved profitability was
due to increased net sales and costs growing proportionally less. 

In the first half, the operating result was EUR 4.7 million (2.1), which
corresponds to 9.9 per cent of net sales (4.8). Profitability improvement was
due to the net sales increase during the first half of the year. 

In the second quarter, the result before taxes was EUR 3.3 million (0.4) and
net profit EUR 2.3 million (0.3). The net profit improved by 582 per cent
compared to the previous year. Earnings per share for the second quarter was
EUR 0.02 (0.00). 

The result before taxes for the first half, was EUR 4.7 million (1.2) and net
profit EUR 3.1 million (0.6). The net profit improved by 397.4 per cent
compared to the previous year. Earnings per share for the first half was EUR
0.03 (0.01). 

The tax expense for the second quarter was EUR 1.0 million (0.0), of which 0.2
million were withholding taxes, related to double taxation. In the first half
the tax expenses were EUR 1.6 million (0.5), of which 0.5 million were
withholding taxes, related to double taxation. During second quarter,
favourable tax ruling was obtained in India for past withholding taxes. The
outcome of these rulings has not been reflected in the financials at this
stage, as the probability of the tax returns are still under assessment. 

In April-June, Comptel received 13 significant orders (Q2 2015: 2), of which
Intelligent Data unit received five (five Data Refinery solutions) and Service
Orchestration received five (five FlowOne solutions). Three orders were
multi-solution orders across the business units. As significant orders Comptel
reports sold projects and licenses with a minimum value of EUR 500,000. 

The Group’s 12-month order backlog increased from the previous year and was EUR
64.2 million (58.8) at the end of the period. The Group’s total order backlog
exceeds EUR 90 million at the end of second quarter.

Corporate Governance

Comptel Corporation’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held on 6 April 2016.
The AGM resolved the number of Board members to be five. Mr Pertti Ervi, Mr
Hannu Vaajoensuu, Ms Eriikka Söderström, and Mr Antti Vasara were re-elected as
members of the Board of Directors. Thomas Berlemann was elected as a new member
of the Board of Directors. 

The AGM appointed Ernst & Young Oy as the company’s auditor. Mr. Mikko
Järventausta is acting as the principal auditor. 

The AGM resolved that a dividend of 0.03 EUR per share was paid for the year
2015. 

In its meeting held after the Annual General Meeting, the Board of Directors
elected Mr Pertti Ervi as chairman and Mr Hannu Vaajoensuu as vice chairman. 

The Board of Directors decided to establish an audit committee to deal with the
preparation of matters relating to the company’s financial reporting and
control. The Board of Directors elected Ms Eriikka Söderström as the chairman
of the audit committee, and Mr Pertti Ervi and Mr Antti Vasara as the members
of the audit committee. All the members of the audit committee are independent
from the company and its significant shareholders. 

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
company’s own shares up to a maximum number of 10,700,000 shares. The
authorisations are valid until 30 June 2017. However, the authorisation to
implement the company’s share-based incentive programs is valid five years from
the AGM resolution. 

A separate stock exchange release about the authorisations given and other
decisions made by the Annual General Meeting was published on 6 April 2016. 



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 of 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 systems, and
the value of a single project may be several million euros. Therefore, the
credit risk associated with a single project or an individual customer may be
significant. Furthermore, some of Comptel’s customers operate in countries
where the political or financial climate can be unstable 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 in more detail in the
company’s financial statements and the Board of Directors’ report for 2015. 



Outlook (changed)


Specified guidance is:

“Comptel expects the 2016 net sales to continue to grow and operating profit to
be in the range of 9–14% of revenue.” 



Previous guidance was:

“Comptel expects the 2016 net sales to continue to grow and operating profit to
be in the range of 8–14% of revenue.” 



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 1,581 thousand (EUR 527 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 517 thousand
in January - June (EUR 333 thousand).
