CEO Pekka Eloholma comments:
Affecto's net sales grew by 2% in the second quarter and reached 33.1 MEUR
(32.6 MEUR). Highest growth was achieved in Sweden and Finland. Also Denmark
grew somewhat. Net sales decreased in Baltic and Norway. Sales of own
consultancy work grew, but the sales of 3rd-party licenses decreased clearly.
Operating profit grew to 2.7 MEUR (1.7 MEUR) being 8% of the net sales. Best
results were achieved in Finland, but also Norway and Baltic made a good
result. The business in Sweden was still somewhat loss-making, but the result
has clearly improved from last year.
Customer's cautiousness has grown somewhat and investment decisions take more
time. Despite that Affecto's order backlog grew to 53.8 MEUR, 6% above last
year (50.7 MEUR).
In 2012 the main focus continues to be on profitability improvement.
Profitability (EBIT-%) is estimated to improve and net sales are estimated to
grow in 2012.

Net sales grew by 2% in the second quarter, mainly in Sweden (14%) and Finland
(9%). Denmark grew by 4%. Net sales in Baltic decreased by 17% and in Norway by
8%. The increased economic uncertainty has slowed customers' investment
decisions, which has contributed to the development. Sales of the third-party
licenses, sold with the solutions, has clearly decreased compared to last year,
especially in Baltic and Norway, which has contributed negatively both to net
sales and profit.
Net sales of Information Management Solutions business in 1-6/2012 were 61.2
MEUR (57.5 MEUR) and net sales of Geographic Information Services were 6.1 MEUR
(5.7 MEUR).
Order backlog grew to 53.8 MEUR, 6% above last year (50.7 MEUR). The order
backlog is estimated to contain a bit more long-term projects than earlier.
PROFIT
Affecto's operating profit in 1-6/2012 was 4.7 MEUR (3.3 MEUR) and the
operational segment result was 5.8 MEUR (4.3 MEUR). Operational segment result
was in Finland 4.0 MEUR (2.6 MEUR), in Norway 1.3 MEUR (1.4 MEUR), in Sweden
-0.3 MEUR (-1.0 MEUR), in Denmark 0.5 MEUR (0.7 MEUR) and in Baltic 0.9 MEUR
(1.4 MEUR).
Operating profit in the second quarter was 2.7 MEUR being 8% of net sales.

while Denmark and Baltic weakened. Sweden made still a small loss, although it
clearly improved compared to last year.

Operating profit 2.7 1.7 4.7 3.3 8.2
According to the IFRS3 requirements, operating profit includes 1.0 MEUR (1.0
MEUR) of amortization on intangible assets related to acquisitions. The IFRS3
amortization is estimated to be approx. 2.0 MEUR per year until 2014, as the
other intangible assets impacting in the IFRS3 amortization totaled 4.8 MEUR at
the end of the reporting period.
R&D costs totaled 0.1 MEUR (0.5 MEUR), i.e. 0.1% of net sales (0.9%). These
costs have been recognized as an expense in the income statement.
The fluctuation in financial costs is explained to a large extent by changes in
the fair value of the interest swap taken, which changes have no effect on
actual cash flow. The interest rate changes have caused 0.2 MEUR income in
1-6/2012 (0.2 MEUR).
Taxes corresponding to the profit of the period have been entered as tax
expense. Net profit for the period was 3.5 MEUR, while it was 2.0 MEUR last
year.
FINANCE AND INVESTMENTS
At the end of the reporting period, Affecto's balance sheet totaled 135.8 MEUR
(12/2011: 145.1 MEUR). Equity ratio was 50.1% (12/2011: 46.1%) and net gearing
was 31.6% (12/2011: 27.1%).
The financial loans were 32.5 MEUR (12/2011: 34.5 MEUR) at the end of reporting
period. The company's cash and liquid assets were 12.7 MEUR (12/2011: 18.0
MEUR). The interest-bearing net debt was 19.7 MEUR (12/2011: 16.4 MEUR).
Cash flow from operating activities for the reported period was -0.2 MEUR (2.5
MEUR) and cash flow from investing activities was -0.7 MEUR (-0.7 MEUR).
Investments in tangible and intangible assets were 0.6 MEUR (0.7 MEUR).
The Annual General Meeting held in April decided to distribute a dividend of
2.4 MEUR (1.3 MEUR).
EMPLOYEES
The number of employees was 1100 persons at the end of the reporting period
(1008). 415 employees were based in Finland, 132 in Norway, 147 in Sweden, 75
in Denmark and 331 in the Baltic countries. The average number of employees
during the period was 1082 (987).
REVIEW OF MARKET DEVELOPMENTS
The growth in uncertainty about the general economic developments hasn't so far
materially impacted Affecto's business. During 2012 customers' decision-making
pace has been slower than normal in most countries, which has decreased
Affecto's growth. The sales of third-party licenses have decreased clearly,
which may be caused by customers preferring to invest in further development of
existing solutions instead of investing in totally new solutions.
In general, there has been no significant negative change in the market
situation. Enterprise Information Management (EIM) solutions are seen as tools
for improving operational efficiency, so investments to them are expected to
continue. The demand for EIM solutions, including Business Intelligence (BI)
and Enterprise Content Management (ECM), is estimated to continue growing more
rapidly than the general IT services. The average annual global growth of BI
and analytics software license markets is estimated to be approx. 8% in the
next few years. The Nordic EIM services markets are estimated to grow annually
by 6-8% on average. The scope of EIM solutions continues to evolve, and the newofferings like Master Data Management (MDM), Data Quality and Collaborative
Decision Making will increase their role in the solution offering.
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.
In 4-6/2012 the net sales in Finland were 13.7 MEUR (12.6 MEUR). Operational
segment result was 2.1 MEUR (1.4 MEUR). The business developed steadily and
profitability was good. Net sales grew by 9% and profitability was 16%.
However, customers' cautiousness has limited growth in order backlog.
Net sales of Karttakeskus GIS business, reported as part of Finland, grew in
4-6/2012 to 3.2 MEUR (2.9 MEUR) and the unit's profitability was good. The GIS
outsourcing agreement with the Finnish Agency for Rural Affairs was prolonged
by a year in April.
In 4-6/2012 the net sales in Norway were 6.6 MEUR (7.1 MEUR) and operational
segment result was 0.7 MEUR (0.6 MEUR). Net sales decreased by 8% mostly due to
a decrease in license sales. Price competition has tightened and customers'
interest for solutions including offshore/nearshore work has grown. Order
backlog is at a good level, although it contains more long-term projects than
earlier. A 2.3 MEUR project agreement was signed with Santander Consumer Bank
in April.
In 4-6/2012 the net sales in Sweden were 5.8 MEUR (5.1 MEUR) and operational
segment result -0.1 MEUR (-0.5 MEUR). Sweden improved its result from the
previous year, but was still loss-making. Net sales grew by 14%.
In 4-6/2012 the net sales in Denmark were 3.6 MEUR (3.5 MEUR) and operational
segment result was 0.3 MEUR (0.3 MEUR). Market situation has remained
challenging, while customers consider their investments. Sales goals were not
reached, which lowered resource utilisation.
In 4-6/2012 the net sales in Baltic (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, South
Africa) were 4.0 MEUR (4.9 MEUR). Operational segment result was 0.5 MEUR (0.8
MEUR). Net sales decreased by 17%, for which the decreased license sales had a
significant effect. Profitability decreased from last year, but remained good.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND GOVERNANCE
The Annual General Meeting of Affecto Plc, held on 19 April 2012, adopted the
financial statements for 1.1.-31.12.2011 and discharged the members of the

including the 823 000 shares owned by Affecto Management Oy. The company owned
100 000 treasury shares as of 30 June 2012.

euro, the average price 2.70 euro and the closing price 2.70 euro. The trading
volume was 3.5 million shares, corresponding to 33% (annualized) of the number
of shares at the end of the period. The market value of shares was 57.9 MEUR at
the end of the period including the shares owned by Affecto Management Oy but
excluding the treasury shares.
2008B options have been listed on Nasdaq OMX Helsinki since 2 April 2012.
SHAREHOLDERS

ownership was 14%. 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. 14.8%
(14.6% shares and 0.2% options).
According to the flagging announcement made on 16 January 2012, the ownership
of Evli Group has exceeded 5%. The ownership will later decrease below 5% when
a forward contract made by Evli matures.
According to the flagging announcement made on 25 April 2012, the ownership of
funds managed by Danske Invest Fund Management Ltd. has exceeded 5%.
ASSESSMENT OF RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The changes in the general economic conditions and the operating environments
of its customers have direct impact in Affecto's markets. The Euro crisis may
affect Affecto's customers negatively and their slower investment decision
making, postponing or cancellation of IT investments may have negative impact
on Affecto.
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, where Affecto has
invested in reforming the organization and processes, which has weakened
profitability in the short term.
Affecto's order backlog has traditionally been only for a few months, which
decreases the reliability of longer-term forecasts. 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. 11 MEUR in 2011.
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.
Affecto's bank loan has covenants, the breach of which may lead to higher
financing costs or even the termination of the loan. The covenants are based on
total net debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization and total net debt to total equity.
Affecto's success depends also on good customer relationships. Affecto has a
well-diversified customer base. 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.
Affecto's continued success is very much dependent on its management team and
personnel. The loss of the services of any member of its senior management or
other key employee could have a negative impact on Affecto's business and the
ability of the company to implement its strategy. In addition, Affecto's
success depends on its ability to hire, develop, train, motivate and retain
skilled professionals on its staff.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
In 2012 the main focus continues to be on profitability improvement.
Profitability (EBIT-%) is estimated to improve and net sales are estimated to
grow in 2012.
As a normal seasonality effect, the summer vacations will weaken the third
quarter, especially the net sales.
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.
