TELESTE CORPORATION INTERIM REPORT 1 JAN TO 30 JUNE 2013



YEAR-ON-YEAR OPERATING PROFIT FELL, PROFITABILITY OF OUR PRODUCT BUSINESS
IMPROVED 



Q2 of 2013

- Net sales amounted to EUR 46.5 (49.7) million, a decrease of 6.4%
- Operating profit stood at EUR 1.7 (2.4) million, a decrease of 28.2%
- Undiluted result per share stood at EUR 0.07 (0.07)
- Orders received totaled EUR 44.2 (49.2) million, a decrease of 10.1%
- Operating cash flow was EUR 4.1 (5.5) million



Outlook for 2013

We expect net sales and operating profit for 2013 to reach the 2012 level.



Comments on Q2 of 2013 by CEO Jukka Rinnevaara:"Network investments of our Video and Broadband Solutions business were slowed
down by the operators' on-going significant consolidations as well as
comparisons between future network technologies. Net sales increased on account
of the Asheridge acquisition made at the beginning of April 2013. The
year-on-year operating profit improved mainly due to the good level of
deliveries in video surveillance. 

The decline in Network Services' net sales and the operating profit being in
the red were caused by the lower demand of services in Germany. We expect the
current adjustment of cost structure in Germany to improve profitability as
early as in the third quarter of this year.”

backlog totaled EUR 12.3 (18.7) million. Net sales grew by 5.5% amounting to

10.5% (12.4%) of net sales. Projects focused on the next-generation innovative
broadband solution (Data Access HUB), access network solutions meeting the

Orders received in Q2 totaled EUR 20.9 (25.4) million, a decrease of 17.9%. Net
sales decreased by 17.9% to EUR 20.9 (25.4) million. This decrease in net sales
was due to a drop in demand for services in Germany. Due to this low net sales
in Germany, operating profit was in the red equaling EUR -0.6 (0.9) million,
representing -2.7% (3.4%) of net sales. Adjustment of cost structure is in
progress in Germany, and profitability will improve gradually as early as in
the third quarter of this year.

million. Net sales decreased by 12.7% to EUR 42.8 (49.0) million. Operating
profit stood at EUR -0.4 (1.3), which was caused by the low net sales. 



Personnel and Organization in January to June 2013

In the period under review, the Group had an annual average of 1,336 people
(1,326/2012, 1,279/2011), of whom 554 (565) were employed by Video and
Broadband Solutions, and 782 (761) by Network Services. At the end of the
review period, the Group had 1,325 (1,348/2012, 1,314/2011) people, of whom 74%
(70%/2012, 72%/2011) were working outside Finland. Employees stationed outside
Europe accounted for less than 5% of the Group's personnel. 

In the fourth quarter of 2012, the parent company Teleste Corporation launched
codetermination procedures together with the personnel. Adjustments in the
number of employees in Finland were initiated in December 2012 by introducing a
rotating temporary layoff. In the second quarter of the year there was no
rotating layoff in Finland. This rotating temporary layoff agreed in the
codetermination procedures can be extended until March 2014. Wages and salaries
stood at EUR 28.9 (30.5/2012, 26.0/2011) million. 

Investments and Product Development in January to June 2013

Investments by the Group for the period under review totaled EUR 4.6 (1.7)
million accounting for 5.0% (1.7%) of the net sales. EUR 3.5 million of these
investments involved the acquisition of Asheridge. Product development
investments amounted to EUR 0.6 (0.3) million while other investments equaled
EUR 0.5 million. Investments of EUR 0.4 (0.6) million were made under financial
lease arrangements. 

Financing and Capital Structure in January to June 2013

Operating cash flow stood at EUR 4.3 (10.4) million. This decrease in cash flow
from operations from the comparative period was mainly due to reduction in
non-interest bearing short-term debt, as well as slowing down in the cycle time
of accounts receivable. At the end of the period under review, the amount of
unused binding stand-by credits amounted to EUR 14.0 (16.0) million. The credit
limits are valid until August 2015. 

The Group's equity ratio equaled 48.5% (46.2%) and net gearing 21.8% (21.1%).
Interest bearing debt on 30 June 2013 stood at EUR 27.7 (25.1) million. 

Key Risks Faced 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 favorable 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 Chinese renminbi to euro affects our material costs. 

The company hedges against short-term currency exposure by means of forward
contracts. The tight financial market in Europe 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.
Availability of components is subject to natural phenomena, such as floods and
earthquakes. Severe weather conditions have an impact on the business areas'
ability to deliver their products and services. Correct technological choices
and their timing are vital for our success. 

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. 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 skill levels in
Teleste's own personnel as well as those of our subcontractors. In addition,
our ability to deliver and compete may be constrained by the adequacy of our
sub-contractor network capacity. Tender calculation and management of larger
projects with overall responsibility are complex and risky. 

It is important for our business areas to take into account any market
developments such as consolidations taking place among the clientele and
competition. The threats to information systems must be minimized to ensure
business continuity. 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 and their probability are reported to the Board in conjunction
with regular monthly reports. 

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.

confirmed the financial statements for 2012 and discharged the Board of
Directors and the CEO from liability for the financial period. The AGM
confirmed the dividend of EUR 0.17 per share proposed by the Board. The
dividend was paid out on 24 April 2013. 

Ms. Marjo Miettinen, Mr. Pertti Ervi, Mr. Esa Harju, Mr. Kai Telanne and Mr.
Petteri Walldén continue in Teleste's Board of Directors. Jannica Fagerholm was

of Finland, was chosen auditor-in-charge. 

Valid authorizations granted by the AGM:

- Authorization to purchase own shares: 1,400,000
- Disposal of own shares: 1,779,985, valid until the 2014 Annual General Meeting
- Issue of new shares: 5,000,000, valid until the 2014 Annual General Meeting
- Pursuant to the special rights granted by the company, the maximum number of
shares is 2,500,000; these special rights are included in the authorization to
issue 5,000,000 new shares. 

In the period under review, 113,331 treasury shares were conveyed in the
exchange of shares related to Teleste Management Oy. 

Outlook for 2013

Network capacity will continue to increase driven by the new video services
provided by the operators. However, comparisons made by the operators
concerning the future access network technologies could delay the launch of
investments. We estimate profitability of Video and Broadband Solutions to
improve over the comparative period. 

We estimate profitability of Network Services to remain below the comparative
period. 

We expect net sales and operating profit for 2013 to reach the 2012 level.
