Outlook for 2015
We estimate that net sales and operating profit for 2015 will exceed the 2014
level.
Comments on the last quarter of 2014 by CEO Jukka Rinnevaara:
”Fourth-quarter net sales was the second-highest in Teleste's history and
almost reached the previous year's record net sales. The number of orders
received increased raising the year-end order backlog over the last year's.
Also operating profit reached the previous year's level. Operating profit
includes EUR 1.1 million revenue recognized from reversal of estimated
supplementary contract price related to the acquisition of Asheridge. Earnings
per share of EUR 0.17 is at par with the comparative period. We were able to
improve the operating cash flow significantly by good management of working
capital. In spite of the severe price competition we can be satisfied with the
development of the final quarter.
Orders received by Video and Broadband Solutions increased, particularly in
video surveillance solutions and access network products. Net sales, too,
increased in the said product categories. We estimate that our market share has
strengthened as the cable operators' network equipment supplier in Europe. As
for video surveillance solutions, the quarter was successful and we entered
into new maintenance contracts. Orders received by the business area increased
the most in the UK, France, and Russia. Deliveries grew the most in the Nordic
countries, Germany and Russia.
The year-on-year net sales and operating profit of Network Services decreased.
According to plan, fewer large lower margin project deliveries were carried out
in Germany. At the same time, we managed to improve productivity in our
deliveries of services and operating profit improved significantly in Germany.
Profitability of the business area was weakened by the investments aimed at
business expansion in the UK, where the new services so far failed to achieve a
positive result.
After the reporting period, we acquired the entire share capital of Mitron
Group Oy Ltd. Mitron is a Finnish provider of public transportation information
systems and modern display solutions. Mitron is a perfect fit for Teleste's
strategy, and together we can offer the rail market an all-inclusive video
surveillance and data management solution for stations and railway cars."

The fourth-quarter orders received by Teleste Group increased by 5.7% and stood
at EUR 53.0 (50.2) million. Order backlog totalled EUR 15.2 (13.1) million. Net
sales decreased by 0.3% to EUR 53.9 (54.0) million, which is the second-highest
quarter sales in Teleste's history. Operating profit reached the level of the
reference period standing at EUR 3.5 (3.5) million, or 6.5% (6.5%) of net
sales. Operating profit includes other income resulting from reversed provision
of EUR 1.1 million, which relates to supplementary contract price of an earlier
acquisition.
Expenses for material and production services decreased and amounted to 50.0%
(50.9%) of net sales. Personnel expenses amounted to EUR 16.4 (15.2) million.
Most of this increase in personnel expenses was due to a higher number of
personnel. Taxes stood at EUR 0.3 (0.5) million. This decrease in taxes is
mainly due to periodization between the quarters. Undiluted earnings per share
increased by 0.1% to EUR 0.17 (0.17). Cash flow from operations increased by
180.4% to EUR 7.5 (2.7) million. Good operational performance and improvement

per share increased by 2.9% to EUR 0.48 (0.47). Cash flow from operations
decreased by 7.4% to EUR 9.2 (10.0). This decrease in cash flow was due to an

Video and Broadband Solutions October-December 2014

Orders received 28,642 24,127 +18.7%

Video and Broadband Solutions in January-December 2014
1,000 euros 1-12/2014 1-12/2013 Change

and house network products. Operating profit increased by 2.2% standing at EUR
9.7 (9.5) million, which is 9.0% (9.3%) of net sales. The profit performance
was particularly affected by the improved profitability in the IPTV headend

services. Product development expenses equalled EUR 10.3 (10.0) million, in
other words 9.6% (9.8%) of net sales. Capitalized R&D expenses amounted to EUR
1.1 (1.4) million. Product development projects focused on network products
complying with the Docsis 3.1 standard, network management system, distributed

Network Services in October-December 2014
1,000 euros 10-12/2014 10-12/2013 Change
Orders received 24,367 26,024 -6.4%
Net sales 24,367 26,024 -6.4%
EBIT 909 1,168 -22.2%
EBIT % 3.7% 4.5%
Year-on-year orders received and net sales decreased by 6.4% amounting to EUR
24.4 (26.0) million. This decline in net sales was mainly due to the reduced
number of large project deliveries in Germany. Operating profit decreased by
22.2% standing at EUR 0.9 (1.2) million, resulting in 3.7% (4.5%) operating
margin. This decline in operating profit was brought about by investments made
in the expansion of business in the UK, where the new services have not yet
achieved a positive result. In Germany, productivity and operating profit of
the installation and maintenance services improved significantly.
Network Services in January-December 2014
1,000 euros 1-12/2014 1-12/2013 Change
Orders received 90,275 91,060 -0.9%
Net sales 90,275 91,060 -0.9%
EBIT 1,463 1,587 -7.8%
EBIT % 1.6% 1.7%
Orders received and net sales decreased by 0.9% to EUR 90.3 (91.1) million. Net
sales decreased in Germany, where the number of low-profit project deliveries
was reduced. Net sales increased in Switzerland and Finland. Operating profit
decreased by 7.8% standing at EUR 1.5 (1.6) million, resulting in 1.6% (1.7%)
operating margin. Operating profit has improved substantially in Germany,
whereas investments in the expansion of our UK services business burdened the
full-year operating profit.
Personnel and Organization in January-December 2014
In the period under review, the average number of people employed by the Group
was 1,302 (1,306/2013, 1,326/2012); of these 560 (559) were employed by Video
and Broadband Solutions, and 741 (747) by Network Services. At the end of the
review period, the Group employed 1,343 people (1,261/2013, 1,325/2012) of whom
72% (71%/2013, 73%/2012) were stationed abroad. Approximately 3% of the Group's
employees were working outside Europe.
Personnel expenses increased from the previous year by 4.5% to EUR 59.5
(56.9/2013 and 58.5/2012) million. This growth in the personnel costs was due
to the increase in the number of employees abroad, performance-based bonuses
paid out in the second half of the year, as well as the savings brought in by
the lay-offs implemented in the comparative period. From the beginning of the
reporting period, the number of employees increased by more than 80 people.
This increase occurred mainly in Network Services, where the amount of
subcontracting was reduced and, on the other hand, investments in new business
were made in the UK.
In the first quarter of the year, personnel of the Operations unit in Finland
were laid off for two weeks.
Investments in January-December 2014
Investments by the Group in the period under review totalled EUR 3.7 (6.3)
million accounting for 1.9% (3.3%) of net sales. Investments in the comparative
period included acquisition of Asheridge. Investments in product development
equalled EUR 1.1 (1.4) million. Other investments were made in information
systems, machinery and equipment, as well as in saleable equity investments.
Investments of EUR 0.3 (0.1) million were made under financial lease
arrangements.
Product development projects focused on network products complying with the
Docsis 3.1 standard, network management system, distributed access architecture
and customer-specific projects.
Financing and Capital Structure in January to December 2014
Operating cash flow stood at EUR 9.2 (10.0) million. This decrease in the
operating cash flow was mainly due to an increase in trade receivables, not
fully offset by the growth of trade payables. At the end of the period under
review, the amount of unused binding credit facilities amounted to EUR 17.0
(17.0) million. These credit limits are valid until August 2015.
The Group's equity ratio equalled 53.4% (52.7%) and net gearing 9.5% (13.8%).
On 31 December 2014, the Group's interest-bearing debt stood at EUR 24.4 (24.3)
million.
Key Risks by the Business Areas
Founded in 1954, Teleste is a technology and services company consisting of two
business areas - Video and Broadband Solutions and Network Services. With
Europe as the main market area, our clients include European cable operators
and specified organizations in the public sector.
As to Video and Broadband Solutions, client-specific and integrated deliveries
of solutions create favourable conditions for growth, even if the involved
resource allocation and technical implementation pose a challenge involving,
therefore, also reasonable risks. Our customers' network investments vary based
on the relevant need for upgrading and their financial structure. Significant
part of Teleste's competition comes from the USA so the exchange rate of euro
up against the US dollar affects our competitiveness. The exchange rate
development of the US dollar and the Chinese renminbi to the euro affects our
product costs.
The company hedges against short-term currency exposure by means of forward
exchange contracts. The situation in the European financial markets may slow
down our customers' investment plans. Furthermore, a weakening in the consumer
purchasing power in Europe could slow down the network investments by the cable
operators. Competition increased by the new service providers (OTT) may
undermine the cable operators' ability to invest. Availability of components is
subject to natural phenomena, such as floods and earthquakes. Correct
technological choices and their timing are vital for our success. Regardless of
careful planning and quality assurance, complex products may fail in the
customer's network and lead to expensive repair obligations.
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 our
services by any one of them is reflected in the actual deliveries and
profitability. To ensure quality of services and cost-efficiency along with
efficient service process management, customer satisfaction and improvements in
productivity require innovative solutions in terms of processes, products and
logistics. Smooth operation of cable networks requires effective technical
management and functional hardware solutions in accordance with contractual
obligations. This, in turn, demands continuous and determined development of
skills and competences in Teleste's own personnel as well as those of our
subcontractors. In addition, Teleste's ability to deliver and compete may be
constrained by the adequacy of our own personnel and our sub-contractor network
capacity. Tender calculation and management of larger projects with overall
responsibility are complex and include risks. Severe weather conditions may
affect the supply conditions of our products and services.
Teleste's strategy involves risks and uncertainties: new business opportunities
may fail to be identified or they cannot be acted upon successfully. It is
important for our business areas to take into account any market developments
such as consolidations taking place among the clientele and competition.
Intensifying competition may decrease the prices of products and solutions
faster than we manage to reduce our products' manufacturing and delivery costs.
Various information systems are critical to the development, manufacturing and
supply of products to our customers. Maintenance of information systems and
deployment of new systems involve risks that may affect our ability to deliver
products and services. Information systems may also be subject to external
threats, from which we aim to protect ourselves. Acquisition of skilled
personnel and maintenance of their competence require encouragement,
development and recruitment, which can fail.
The Board of Directors annually reviews any essential risks related to the
company operation and their management. Risk management is an integral part of
the strategic and operational activities of the business areas. Risks are
reported to the Board on a regular basis.
The company has covered any major risks of loss involving the business areas
through insurance policies. Insurance will also cover credit loss risks related
to sales receivables. In the period under review, no such legal proceedings or
judicial procedures were pending that would have had any essential significance
for the Group operation.
Group Structure
Parent company Teleste has branch offices in Australia, the Netherlands, and
Denmark with subsidiaries in 14 countries outside Finland. Teleste Management
II Oy, founded in December 2011, has been consolidated in the Teleste Group

consolidated with the Group figures as of 7 April 2013. Teleste Management Oy
was merged with the parent company on 28 February 2014.

Ms. Marjo Miettinen, Mr. Pertti Ervi, Ms. Jannica Fagerholm, Mr. Esa Harju, Mr.
Kai Telanne and Mr. Petteri Walldén continue in Teleste's Board of Directors.
Ms. Marjo Miettinen was elected Chair of the Board in the organizational
meeting held immediately after the AGM.
Authorized Public Accountants KPMG Oy Ab continues as the auditor until the
next AGM. Mr. Esa Kailiala, accountant authorized by the Central Chamber of
Commerce of Finland, was chosen auditor-in-charge.

- Purchases of own shares: maximum of 1,200,000 shares. This authorization is
valid for 18 months from the date of the decision.
- Issue of new shares: maximum of 4,000,000 shares, valid for three years from
the date of the decision.
- Disposal of own shares in possession: maximum of 1,800,000 shares, valid for

- Based on the special rights granted by the Company, the number of shares to
subscribe may not exceed 2,500,000 shares; these special rights are included in
the maximum warrants concerning new shares and the Group's own shares mentioned
above. This authorization will be valid for three years from the date of the
decision.
Events after the end of the review period
Acqusition of Mitron
On 7 January 2015, Teleste announced that it had bought the entire share
capital of Mitron Group Oy Ltd. Mitron is a Finnish provider of public
transportation information systems and modern display solutions. Systems
manufactured by Mitron are used on trains and railway stations, subways,
airports and in urban traffic. Mitron runs its design and manufacturing
operations in Forssa and Tampere with subsidiaries in Poland, Germany and
Switzerland. More than 90 per cent of the company's net sales consist of
exports. Mitron strengthens Teleste's position as a supplier of end-to-end
video security and information management solutions for the rail segment.
This acquisition enables Teleste and Mitron to provide the rail industry with a
comprehensive solution for stations and railway cars including a wireless data
transmission between these two. The solution supports wireless offload from
railway cars as well as real-time connectivity with live video transmission
between railway cars and stations, and includes advanced passenger information
and CCTV systems both on railway cars and at the station. For rail operators,
the benefits of such an end-to-end solution include improved safety of
operations and passengers, rapid and correct situation awareness, as well as
better quality of passenger services through e.g. live onboard entertainment.
New financing agreements
Teleste Corporation has signed new overdraft and revolving credit facilities
with a total value of EUR 45.0 million. These new financing agreements replace
the previous ones. The new committed overdraft and revolving credit facilities
are valid until end of March 2018.
Outlook for 2015
The business objective of Video and Broadband Solutions is to maintain its
strong market position in Europe and to strengthen this market position in
selected new markets outside Europe. Network capacity will continue to
increase, driven by the new broadband and video services provided by the
operators. Our new products in line with the Docsis 3.1 communication standard
allow the cable operators to increase their network capacity competitively.
Price erosion in the market continues. Changes in the value of the euro,
particularly against the US dollar and the Chinese renminbi, affect Teleste's
competitiveness, on the one hand, and product manufacturing costs, on the
other. The positive trend in the video surveillance and rail traffic data
management market continues, but the public sector decisions concerning
initiation of projects may be delayed by the current economic situation. In
addition to organic growth, we estimate the Mitron acquisition to increase our
net sales by more than EUR 22 million and its impact on our operating profit to
be positive.
As to Network Services, our business objective is to further develop the
operational efficiency and increase the share of those services that provide
our customers with higher value. In line with this objective, we will continue
to expand the new services business in the UK. We estimate the demand for
all-inclusive network services in our key target markets to continue at least
at the previous year level.
We estimate that net sales and operating profit for 2015 will exceed the 2014
level.
