2014-02-13 11:30:00 CET 2014-02-13 11:30:03 CET REGULATED INFORMATION Affecto Oyj - Financial Statement ReleaseAffecto Plc's Financial Statements Bulletin 2013Helsinki, 2014-02-13 11:30 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AFFECTO PLC -- FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BULLETIN -- 13 FEBRUARY 2014 at 12.30 Affecto Plc's Financial Statements Bulletin 2013 Group key figures MEUR 10-12/13 10-12/12 2013 2012 Net sales 36.2 38.3 132.9 133.4 Operational segment result 2.7 5.0 10.3 12.5 % of net sales 7.6 13.2 7.7 9.4 Operating profit 2.3 4.5 8.3 10.5 % of net sales 6.3 11.8 6.2 7.8 Profit before taxes 2.1 4.3 8.0 10.0 Profit for the period 1.4 3.3 5.6 7.6 Equity ratio, % 53.0 50.6 53.0 50.6 Net gearing, % 7.4 15.8 7.4 15.8 Earnings per share, eur 0.07 0.16 0.26 0.37 Earnings per share (diluted), eur 0.07 0.15 0.26 0.36 Equity per share, eur 3.14 3.24 3.14 3.24 Dividend proposal, eur/share 0.16 0.16 CEO Lars Wahlström comments: Our fourth quarter performance was weaker than we originally expected. Our net sales decreased by over 5% and operating profit clearly decreased from the previous year. Net sales decreased in Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Finland and Baltic achieved small growth. The mix of the net sales developed unevenly and resource utilisation remained too low in some segments. Both the sales of own consulting work and third-party licenses decreased somewhat. Fourth quarter's profit decreased in all areas, especially in Norway and Baltic. Denmark and Finland made good profit, but were below last year. Sweden was slightly profitable making a second profitable quarter in a row, which is great in the light of our past difficulties there. Baltic made a loss mainly due to Lithuania. Year 2013 started well, but under weak economic environment. Our performance decreased toward the year-end as the general economy continued being weak and affecting customers' investments. Net sales in whole year 2013 were approx. 133 MEUR at the previous year's level. Due to the weak fourth quarter the operating profit 8.3 MEUR was clearly below the previous year. The general economic environment weakened during the year in Finland and Norway. In Baltic especially the Lithuanian IT market weakened clearly and a recovery is not expected before the second half of 2014. The order backlog was 48.7 MEUR at the year-end, clearly below last year (61.4 MEUR). The typical year-end sales peak was smaller than in the previous year. Third-party license sales were somewhat smaller than last year, but also project sales disappointed especially in Norway and Finland. Customers' decision making has slowed down and they order smaller projects than in the previous years. Year 2014 net sales and operating profit are estimated to be near last year's level. Operating profit in the first quarter is expected to be weak, partially due to profit improvement actions being taken. Additional information: SVP, M&A, IR, Hannu Nyman, +358 205 777 761 CFO Satu Kankare, +358 205 777 202 This release is unaudited. The amounts in this report have been rounded from exact numbers. BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT 10-12/2013 Affecto's net sales in 10-12/2013 were 36.2 MEUR (10-12/2012: 38.3 MEUR). Net sales in Finland were 14.9 MEUR (14.7 MEUR), in Norway 7.3 MEUR (8.0 MEUR), in Sweden 6.2 MEUR (7.3 MEUR), in Denmark 4.1 MEUR (4.9 MEUR) and 4.5 MEUR (4.3 MEUR) in Baltic. Net sales by reportable segments Net sales, MEUR 10-12/13 10-12/12 2013 2012 Finland 14.9 14.7 53.2 52.6 Norway 7.3 8.0 29.6 27.2 Sweden 6.2 7.3 23.2 24.0 Denmark 4.1 4.9 15.4 16.0 Baltic 4.5 4.3 16.0 16.7 Other -0.9 -0.9 -4.4 -3.0 ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- Group total 36.2 38.3 132.9 133.4 Net sales decreased by 5.5% in the fourth quarter. There was small growth in Finland and Baltic, but net sales decreased in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. The mix of the net sales developed unevenly and resource utilisation remained too low in some segments. Net sales of both own consultancy work and third-party licenses decreased, while the amount of subcontracting grew. Especially in Baltic and Norway net sales included more subcontractors' work, while a decrease in subcontracting was the largest reason for the decrease in Denmark. The weakening of the Norwegian krona (NOK) during 2013 clearly contributed to the decrease of sales reported in euros. The decrease in license sales affected mostly Sweden and Norway. Net sales of Information Management Solutions business in 10-12/2013 were 33.5 MEUR (35.5 MEUR) and net sales of Karttakeskus GIS business were 3.5 MEUR (3.2 MEUR). Customers' interest is toward shorter and smaller projects than earlier and the investment decisions take a long time. The general market sentiment is cautious and has weakened especially in Finland and Norway. On the other hand the Swedish and Danish markets have picked up somewhat. The sales peak typical to the year-end was clearly smaller than in the previous year and the order backlog decreased to 48.7 MEUR (61.4 MEUR). PROFIT Affecto's operating profit in 10-12/2013 was 2.3 MEUR (4.5 MEUR) and the operational segment result was 2.7 MEUR (5.0 MEUR). Operational segment result was in Finland 1.9 MEUR (2.5 MEUR), in Norway 0.5 MEUR (1.3 MEUR), in Sweden 0.1 MEUR (0.3 MEUR), in Denmark 0.6 MEUR (0.9 MEUR) and in Baltic -0.2 MEUR (0.5 MEUR).

Profit decreased in all countries, most in Norway and Baltic. Profitability was excellent 15% in Denmark and good 13% in Finland. Profitability decreased to 7% in Norway due to a low resource utilisation rate and a decrease in license sales. Decrease in license sales affected mostly Sweden and Norway. In Baltic the Lithuanian market is slow and additionally a 0.3 MEUR provision was recognized due to an unfinished project in Lithuania. Net sales in Baltic also included a sizable amount of subcontractors' work without impact on profit. Taxes corresponding to the profit of the period have been entered as tax expense. Net profit for the period was 1.4 MEUR, while it was 3.3 MEUR last year. YEAR 2013 Affecto is the forerunner in the field of Enterprise Information Management in the Northern Europe. Our solutions for information management and business analytics help organisations to improve productivity and competitiveness with superior use of information in decision making and execution. We also deliver operational solutions for improving and simplifying processes at customer organisations and offer geographic information services. Affecto's head office is in Finland. The company has subsidiaries in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland and South Africa. NET SALES Affecto's net sales in 2013 were 132.9 MEUR (2012: 133.4 MEUR). Net sales in Finland were 53.2 MEUR (52.6 MEUR), in Norway 29.6 MEUR (27.2 MEUR), in Sweden 23.2 MEUR (24.0 MEUR), in Denmark 15.4 MEUR (16.0 MEUR) and 16.0 MEUR (16.7 MEUR) in Baltic. Year 2013 started moderately well, but the effects of the continuing weak general economy became more visible during the year affecting the net sales negatively. Due to a weak second year-half, the net sales ended at previous year's level of 133 MEUR. Thanks to a strong first half of the year Norway grew by 9%. Net sales in Finland grew by 1%, while net sales in Sweden, Denmark and Baltic decreased by 3-4%. There were no major changes in the sales mix. The sales of own consultant work decreased slightly, sales of subcontractor work grew slightly and third-party license sales were at previous year's level. Net sales of Information Management Solutions business were 123.6 MEUR (122.9 MEUR) and net sales of Karttakeskus GIS business were 12.2 MEUR (11.9 MEUR). Customers' interest was toward shorter and smaller projects than earlier and the investment decisions take a long time. The general market sentiment was cautious and has been week especially in Finland, but weakened during the year also in Norway and Baltic. On the other hand the market in Sweden and Denmark have picked up somewhat. The order backlog is at previous year's level in Sweden and Denmark, but has decreased in all other areas. The order backlog decreased to 48.7 MEUR (61.4 MEUR). PROFIT Affecto's operating profit in 2013 was 8.3 MEUR (10.5 MEUR) and the operational segment result was 10.3 MEUR (12.5 MEUR). Operational segment result was in Finland 6.9 MEUR (7.7 MEUR), in Norway 2.7 MEUR (3.3 MEUR), in Sweden -0.2 MEUR (-0.9 MEUR), in Denmark 1.9 MEUR (1.8 MEUR) and in Baltic 0.2 MEUR (2.0 MEUR). Operating profit decreased to 8.3 MEUR (10.5 MEUR) and profitability decreased to 6% (8%). Although there were no major changes in the sales mix, the cost increases could not be fully compensated with volume growth, net sales included a bit more subcontractors' work and license sales had a bit lower margin. Profitability was at a good 13% level in Finland, but somewhat below the previous year. Norway had 9% profitability, but profitability weakened toward the year-end. Sweden made profit on the last two quarters, but profit for the whole year was still 1% negative. Denmark increased profitability to 12%. Profitability in Baltic, especially in Lithuania, weakened during the year and profitability in Baltic was 1%. According to the IFRS3 requirements, operating profit includes 2.0 MEUR (2.1 MEUR) of amortization on intangible assets related to acquisitions. The other intangible assets impacting in the IFRS3 amortization totaled 1.8 MEUR at the end of the reporting period and the amortization will mainly end during year 2014. R&D costs totaled 0.0 MEUR (0.1 MEUR), i.e. 0.0% of net sales (0.1%). These costs have been recognized as an expense in the income statement. Taxes corresponding to the profit of the period have been entered as tax expense. Net profit for the period was 5.6 MEUR, while it was 7.6 MEUR last year. FINANCE AND INVESTMENTS At the end of the reporting period Affecto's balance sheet totaled 139.5 MEUR (12/2012: 147.9 MEUR). Equity ratio was 53.0% (50.6%) and net gearing was 7.4% (15.8%). The financial loans were 26.5 MEUR (30.5 MEUR) at the end of reporting period. The company's cash and liquid assets were 21.5 MEUR (19.8 MEUR). The interest-bearing net debt was 5.0 MEUR (10.6 MEUR). Cash flow from operating activities for the reported period was 10.9 MEUR (9.1 MEUR) and cash flow from investing activities was -1.6 MEUR (-1.0 MEUR). Investments in tangible and intangible assets were 1.6 MEUR (1.0 MEUR). The Annual General Meeting held in April decided to distribute a dividend of 3.4 MEUR (2.4 MEUR). EMPLOYEES The number of employees was 1088 persons at the end of the reporting period (1096). 444 employees were based in Finland (416), 124 in Norway (131), 146 in Sweden (140), 71 in Denmark (69) and 303 in the Baltic countries (340). The average number of employees during the period was 1081 (1089). Wages and salaries were 59.1 MEUR (60.2 MEUR in 2012, 57.4 MEUR in 2011). Hellen Wohlin Lidgard started as the country manager in Sweden in April. Rene Lykkeskov returned to his role as Affecto's chief strategy officer. Pekka Eloholma served as the CEO of Affecto Plc until 31 December 2013. Board member Lars Wahlström has been the interim CEO since 1 January 2014 and serves in that position during the CEO recruitment process. REVIEW OF MARKET DEVELOPMENTS Uncertainty about the general economic development continued to affect Affecto's business negatively. Customers' decision-making pace was slow and they are ordering shorter projects than earlier, which has decreased the size of the order backlog in most countries. In our operating area the general customer activity has been growing in Sweden and Denmark, has decreased in Finland and Norway, and has remained low in Baltic. Customers' focus seems to be more on efficiency-improvement solution areas than on growth-oriented sales solutions. The demand for Business Intelligence (BI) and Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions is estimated to continue growing more rapidly than the general IT services. The analyst forecasts for the average annual growth of these software license markets are approx. 4-8% in the next few years, but according to our own estimates the realized growth in our operating area has been below that. BUSINESS REVIEW BY AREAS The group's business is managed through five country units. Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Baltic are also the reportable segments. The net sales in Finland grew by 1% to 53.2 MEUR (52.6 MEUR). Operational segment result was 6.9 MEUR (7.7 MEUR) and profitability was 13%. The year was characterized by weak economic environment, customers being cautious and slow with their investment decisions. Largest deal in the period was made with the City of Helsinki regarding the maintenance of its data warehouse and reporting systems. The net sales of Karttakeskus GIS business, reported as part of Finland, increased by 3% to 12.2 MEUR (11.9 MEUR) and its profitability was excellent. Unit's order backlog developed positively, to which the deals made with the Finnish Agency for Rural Affairs and the Finnish Transport Authority had a clear impact. The net sales in Norway were 29.6 MEUR (27.2 MEUR) and operational segment result was 2.7 MEUR (3.3 MEUR). Net sales grew by 9% thanks to the good first half of the year, and growth measured in local currency was even stronger. Profitability decreased to 9% due to a weak fourth quarter. Customers prefer shorter and smaller projects than earlier, which has also clearly decreased the order backlog. Largest deals in the review period were made with Sparebank1 and Elkjop Nordic. Resource utilisation in Norway decreased toward the year-end contributing to the low profitability. We assess that demand mix of BI services has changed somewhat and additionally the share of solutions including low-cost work components has grown. Actions to improve profitability will be executed in Norway during early 2014 and will cause approx. 0.7 MEUR costs during the firstquarter. The net sales in Sweden were 23.2 MEUR (24.0 MEUR) and operational segment result -0.2 MEUR (-0.9 MEUR). The net sales decreased by 3%. Hellen Wohlin Lidgard started as the country manager in April. Profitability turned positive after summer, but the whole year profit was still slightly negative. Development actions continue and the goal is to achieve normal profitability, but structural and operational changes for the business will take some time. Largest deal in the period was made with the Länsförsäkringar Bank. The net sales in Denmark were 15.4 MEUR (16.0 MEUR) and operational segment result was 1.9 MEUR (1.8 MEUR). Net sales decreased by 4%, but profit grew and profitability increased to 12%. Market situation in Denmark is rather normal and order backlog is at the last year's level. Largest deals in the period were a three-year maintenance contract with a public sector customer and a contract with BEC. The net sales in Baltic (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, South Africa) were 16.0 MEUR (16.7 MEUR). Operational segment result was 0.2 MEUR (2.0 MEUR). Net sales decreased by 4% and profitability decreased to 1%. Especially in Lithuania, the largest market for us, the IT market has slowed down and public sector customers' are launching only a few new projects. The Estonian market situation is more normal. The situation in Lithuania is not expected to improve during early 2014, but the new funding decisions by the European Union and the possible entrance of Lithuania into Euro may increase IT investments in the latter half of 2014.

SHARES AND TRADING During the review period a total of 384 076 new shares have been subscribed with the 2008B and 2008C options. The company has one share series and all shares have similar rights. At the end of the review period Affecto Plc's share capital consisted of 22 318 604 shares. The company owned directly 64 552 shares and a fully owned subsidiary Affecto Management Oy owned 823 000 shares. Thus there are 887 552 treasury shares in total, approx. 4 % of the total amount of the shares. In 1-12/2013 the highest share price was 4.80 euro, the lowest price 2.98 euro, the average price 4.01 euro and the closing price 4.57 euro. The trading volume was 6.2 million shares, corresponding to 28% of the number of shares at the end of the period. The market value of shares was 97.9 MEUR at the end of the period excluding the treasury shares. 2008C options have been listed on Nasdaq OMX Helsinki since 2 April 2013. 2008B options expired in May. A total of 259 000 of 2013 stock options have been conveyed to key employees for the 0.20 eur/option issue price that was decided by the Board. SHAREHOLDERS The company had a total of 2866 owners on 31 December 2013 and the foreign ownership was 9%. The list of the largest owners can be found in the company's web site. Information about the ownership structure and option programs is included as a separate section in the financial statements. The ownership of the board members, CEO and their controlled corporations totaled approx. 10.4%. According to the flagging announcement made on 26 September 2013, the ownership of Arendals Fossekompani ASA has decreased below 5%. According to the flagging announcements made on 25 October 2013 and 28 October 2013 the total ownership of funds managed by Sp-Rahastoyhtiö Oy and Säästöpankki Kotimaa fund have exceeded 5%. ASSESSMENT OF RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES Affecto's order backlog has traditionally been only for a few months, which decreases the reliability of longer-term forecasts. The changes in the general economic conditions and the operating environment of customers have direct impact in Affecto's markets. The uncertain economy may affect Affecto's customers negatively, and their slower investment decision making, postponing or cancellation of IT investments may have negative impact on Affecto. Slower decision making by customers may decrease the predictability of the business and may decrease the utilisation rate of resources. Affecto sells third party software licenses as part of its solutions. Typically the license sales have most impact on the last month of each quarter and especially in the fourth quarter. This increases the fluctuation in net sales between quarters and increases the difficulty of accurately forecasting the quarters. Affecto had license sales of approx. 10 MEUR in 2013. Affecto's balance sheet includes a material amount of goodwill. Goodwill has been allocated to cash generating units. Cash generating units, to which goodwill has been allocated, are tested for impairment both annually and whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. Potential impairment losses may have material effect on reported profit and value of assets. The greatest uncertainty is related to Sweden. Affecto's success depends also on good customer relationships. Affecto has a well-diversified customer base. The largest customer generated 3% of Affecto's net sales, while the 10 largest together generated 17%. Although none of the customers is critically large for the whole group, there are large customers in various countries who are significant for local business in the country. Approximately a half of Affecto's business is in Sweden, Norway and Denmark, thus the development of the currencies of these countries (SEK, NOK and DKK) may have impact on Affecto's profitability. The main part of the companies' income and costs are within the same currency, which decreases the risks. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD Board member Lars Wahlström has been the interim CEO since 1 January 2014 and serves in that position during the CEO recruitment process. DIVIDEND PROPOSAL Distributable funds of the group parent company on 31 December 2013 are 72 180 865,11 euros, of which the distributable profit is 28 956 939,46 euros. Board of Directors proposes that from the financial year 2013 a dividend of 0.16 euros per share will be paid, a total of 3 560 648.32 euros with the outstanding number of shares at the end of the financial period, and the rest is carried forward to the retained earnings account. No material changes have taken place in respect of the company's financial position after the balance sheet date. The liquidity of the company is good and in the opinion of the Board of Directors proposed distribution of profit does not risk the liquidity of the company. FUTURE OUTLOOK Year 2014 net sales and operating profit are estimated to be near last year's level. Operating profit in the first quarter is expected to be weak, partially due to profit improvement actions being taken. The company does not provide exact guidance for net sales or EBIT development, as single projects and timing of license sales may have large impact on quarterly sales and profit.
