INTERIM REPORT OF COMPTEL CORPORATION 1 JANUARY - 31 MARCH 2016


Revenue grew and profitability improved.



  -- Net sales EUR 22.4 (January - March 2015: 21.0), growth 6.8% 
  -- Operating result EUR 1.8 million (1.5), growth 17.6%
  -- Net profit EUR 0.8 million (0.3), growth 183.5%
  -- Earnings per share EUR 0.01 (0.00)
  -- Order backlog EUR 60.0 million (55.8), growth 7.5%

Outlook (unchanged):

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. 


Juhani Hintikka, President and CEO:

“Our revenue continued to grow in the first quarter and our order intake was
close to 40 per cent higher than in first quarter last year. Our profitability
improved on both the operating result and the net profit level. 

The Intelligent Data unit grew by 14.6 per cent in the first quarter compared
to the previous year. The growth in our Intelligent Data business unit that
started in second half of last year is continuing. The Intelligent Data unit’s
growth was due to the growth in our Data Refinery solution. In the first
quarter, the growth rate of the Service Orchestration unit was lower, mainly
due to the timing of certain customer deals. 

In Asia-Pacific business development continued particularly well and the region
grew 22.6 per cent year on year. We see strong demand continuing in the
Asia-Pacific region. 

In the first quarter, we also posted our first revenue from our new FWD
solution. The revenue was still small, but the progress with targeted customers
is very good, and we are on track with our plans for wider launch of the
product. We are currently working with pilot customers in Africa and elsewhere.
The progress with the FWD solution has been encouraging so far, and its future
potential is significant. 

We also had a strong cash flow in first quarter with EUR 10.7 million operating
cash flow in the first quarter. 

During the first quarter we secured 7 significant orders (Q1 2015:3), valued
over EUR 0.5 million.” 



Business Review of the First Quarter 2016

Comptel’s net sales increased in the first quarter by 6.8 per cent from the
previous year, to 22.4 million (21.0). The net sales increase was due to the
strong backlog at the end of the year and growth in the Asia-Pacific region.
European sales continued to grow as in the second half of last year. 

The operating result for the period was EUR 1.8 million (1.5), which
corresponds to 7.8 per cent of net sales (7.1). The growth resulted from
increased sales and profitability in the Intelligent Data unit. 

The result before taxes was EUR 1.4 million (0.8), and the net result was EUR
0.83 million (0.29). Net profit improved by 183.5 per cent. Earnings per share
for the period under review were EUR 0.01 (0.00). 

The tax expense for the period was EUR 0.6 million (0.5), of which EUR 0.3
million were withholding taxes, related to double taxation (0.3). 

In January - March Comptel received seven significant orders (Q1 2015: 3),
Service Orchestration received four (two FlowOne Fulfillment and two FlowOne
Provisioning and Activation) and Intelligent Data received one (Data Refinery).
Two orders were multi solution orders across business units. As significant
orders Comptel reports sold projects and licenses with a minimum value of EUR
500,000. 

The Group’s order backlog increased from the previous year and was EUR 60.0
million (55.8) at the end of the period.

Intelligent Data revenue continued to grow in first quarter, which impacted
also favourably the profitability of the business unit. The growth rate of
Service Orchestration was lower due to timing of certain deals that were
delayed to the second quarter. This impacted also the profitability of Service
Orchestration.

region grew by six per cent. Revenue in the Americas region decreased year on
year, mainly due to the seasonality in the timing of deal flows in the region.

(70.4), of which liquid assets amounted to EUR 12.7 million (7.8). The
operating cash flow was EUR 10.7 million (-0.6) in the first quarter. The

partial debiting was EUR 3.9 million (3.6).

cent (-1.0).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Direct R&D expenditure represented 20.7 per cent (20.6) of net sales.

The key focus of Comptel’s R&D expenditure was in the further development of
our existing solutions (Service Orchestration and Intelligent Data) and release
of the new FWD time-based mobile data marketing solution. 

Development work has focused on securing recurring revenue with competitive
products, winning new markets by giving customers unique value, and improving
margins with better deployment and scalability of our products. 

The FlowOne Fulfillment solution has been developed as a suite of orchestration
elements that manage the life-cycle of digital services and business flows from
ground to cloud. Data Refinery captures data-in-motion and uses Softblade(TM)
technology with embedded intelligence to refine it for automated real-time
decision making. Monetizer is the business policy and charging solution that
sets the speed to money and allows the innovation and designing of rich
communication and data. Data Fastermind embeds artificial intelligence,
predictive analytics and machine learning capabilities into all solutions. In
all of these areas, Comptel seeks global thought leadership in solving the
business challenges of operators and digital communications service providers. 

During 2016 the company will further continue to develop its current offering.
Three major software releases were launched in these respective product areas
during the review period.

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 will be 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

Comptel has received a favourable ruling in Delhi judicial court regarding
withholding tax for Indian tax years 2007-2008 and 2008-2009. A separate stock
exchange release have been issued on 15th of April regarding this. 

The company AGM was held on the 6th of April and a separate stock exchange has
been published on that. 


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 (unchanged)

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 593 thousand (EUR 503 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 300 thousand
in January - March (EUR 253 thousand).
