Q1 2011: GROWTH IN CONSOLIDATED NET SALES, BUT CHANGES IN OPERATING ENVIRONMENT WEAKEN PROFITABILITY


Helsinki, 2011-04-29 08:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DIGIA PLC INTERIM REPORT 29
April 2011, 09:00 A.M. 


Q1 2011: GROWTH IN CONSOLIDATED NET SALES, BUT CHANGES IN OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
WEAKEN PROFITABILITY 



SUMMARY:



- Consolidated net sales: EUR 33.4 (32.8) million, up 1.6 per cent

- Consolidated operating profit: EUR 2.3 (4.7) million, down 51.7 per cent

- Profitability (EBIT): 6.8 (14.0) per cent

- Product business accounted for 14.5 (16.4) per cent

- Earnings per share: EUR 0.07 (0.14)



During the review period, a sudden change occurred in the operating conditions
of Digia's Mobile Solutions segment. On 11 February 2011, one of the company's
major clients, Nokia Plc, announced that it would adopt Windows Phone, rather
than Symbian or Meego, as its primary smartphone operating system. As a
consequence, the Mobile Solutions segment's net sales did not develop according
to expectations; the segment was still burdened by the salary costs of
personnel recruited to fulfil earlier growth targets. 

To adapt its cost structure to the new market conditions, on 2 March 2011 the
company announced personnel negotiations on the closure of its Pori unit. These
negotiations concluded after the end of the review period, on 20 April 2011. 

Mainly due to lower than expected license sales, the net sales and
profitability of the Enterprise Solutions segment also fell short of budget. 

Despite these challenges, the company increased its net sales in both operating
segments. While Mobile Solutions had modest profitability, Enterprise Solutions
exceptionally fell just short of the targeted minimum level of ten per cent. 

For the rest of the year, the company predicts a fall in the net sales of the
Mobile Solutions segment compared to the 2010 total. Similarly, its operational
profitability is expected to remain on lower level than 2010, despite the
streamlining measures taken. Due to these factors and the considerable
uncertainty about the segment's near future, there is a significantly increased
risk of goodwill impairment for Mobile Solutions. 

With regard to Enterprise Solutions, the company regards the review period's
slight challenges as temporary. It expects net sales to grow organically during
the rest of the year, at least at the moderate growth rate predicted for the IT
market. Profitability is expected to return to normal good level. 

Reliable forecasting of the company's operations is hampered by the uncertainty
surrounding the Mobile Solutions segment. For this reason, Digia is currently
unable to provide more precise estimates of its group level consolidated net
sales or profitability for 2011.

MARKETS AND DIGIA'S BUSINESS

Uncertainty marked the beginning of 2011, after one of the company's major
clients, Nokia Plc, announced its new strategy. This strategy involves adopting
Windows Phone as its primary smartphone operating system, rather than Symbian
or Meego. 

The Finnish economy continued to grow - the company predicts moderate growth
for the Finnish IT market during 2011. Although the IT sector has reasonable
growth prospects, the risks posed to the macroeconomy by the Eurozone debt
crisis, the price of oil and the general inflation trend could also affect
demand for IT services. 

Digia's Chinese unit generates product development and maintenance services.
This enables the company to serve customers at various points in their product
development cycle. The unit's capacity is utilised both in projects within
China and for global customer relationships. Digia expects the Chinese unit's
operations to be affected by reduced demand for Symbian and Meego technology,
due to the new Nokia strategy. The Russian unit operates as a near-shore
resource for Digia's Finnish customers and sells services directly to local
customers. During the review period, the Russian unit's operations progressed
as expected. 

Enterprise Solutions:

Strong demand for ERP systems, e-business and customer experience management
solutions continued during the review period. As touchscreen smartphones become
more common, Digia expects the production of more business applications as
multichannel wireless entities. 

On 7 March 2011, the company made an agreement with Nokia concerning the
acquisition of commercial Qt-licensing and service operations. The acquisition
came into effect on 22 March 2011. Digia will seek to expand and develop the
acquired product business. In particular, it will do so by providing
complementary productised support services and additional features required by
customers. The deal supports Digia's strategic aim of increasing net sales
within its international product business. The acquisition cost of EUR 0.8
million is partly dependent on an additional purchase price component, linked
to the performance of the acquired business. For this reason, the acquisition
cost is preliminary, to be specified during the next 12 months. 

During the review period, the company focused on creating suitable conditions
for growth. Examples of this include developing sector-specific solutions for
increasing customers' operational efficiency and for customer experience
management. 

Mobile Solutions:

During the review period, the Mobile Solutions segment was negatively affected
by the uncertainty surrounding the company's relationship with Nokia. After the
publication of Nokia's new strategy, the sale of new services fell
significantly. As a result, in the beginning of March Digia announced that
sales of Symbian and Meego-related services to Nokia are expected to fall
during 2011. Digia will probably be unable to fully compensate for this
shortfall through new customer relationships and added sales to existing
customers. 

On 8 March, to adapt its cost structure to the new market conditions, the
company initiated personnel negotiations affecting 85 employees. These
concerned the closure of its Pori unit. The negotiations were concluded after
the end of the review period, on 20 April 2011. As a consequence, the company
decided to close its Pori unit, laying off 63 employees from the unit by the
end of October 2011. Digia estimates that the downsizing will cause a one-off
expense of EUR 1.1 million, to be entered into the accounts during the second
quarter of 2011. 



NET SALES

Digia's consolidated net sales for the first quarter were EUR 33.4 (32.8)
million, up 1.6 per cent on the same period in 2010. 

First-quarter net sales for the Enterprise Solutions segment totalled EUR 19.5
(19.4) million, up 0.7 per cent. The Mobile Solutions segment had net sales of
EUR 13.9 (13.5) million, up 2.9 per cent. This lower-than-expected growth in
net sales was due to reduced licence sales in the Enterprise Solutions segment
and lower demand in Mobile Solutions segment caused by Nokia's strategic
realignment. 

During the first quarter, the product business accounted for EUR 4.8 (5.4)
million of consolidated net sales, or 14.5 (16.4) per cent. 

International operations accounted for EUR 2.5 (2.7) million of consolidated
net sales, or 7.5 (8.2) per cent. 



PROFIT PERFORMANCE AND PROFITABILITY

Digia's consolidated operating profit for the first quarter was EUR 2.3 (4.7)
million. Profitability (EBIT %) was 6.8 (14.2) per cent. 

The first-quarter operating profit of the Enterprise Solutions segment was EUR
1.8 (2.8) million, and profitability (EBIT %) was 9.0 per cent. The Mobile
Solutions segment's operating profit was EUR 0.5 (1.9) million and
profitability (EBIT %) was 3.7 per cent. 

The profitability of Enterprise Solutions was in line with the company's
earlier forecast range of 8-10 per cent. Lower licence sales than expected were
the main reason for Enterprise Solutions' reduced profitability. Mobile
Solutions segment's profitability was slightly below the forecast 5-7 per cent.
In the Mobile Solutions segment, lower profitability was due to recruitment
carried out during the end of 2010 and beginning of 2011 to meet earlier growth
targets. Because of the change in Nokia's strategy, Digia was unable to provide
enough work for all of the new employees in Mobile Solutions segment, while the
increased salary costs were a financial burden. 

Digia's consolidated earnings before tax for the first quarter were EUR 1.9
(4.2) million, and net profit totalled EUR 1.4 (3.0) million. 

Consolidated earnings per share for the quarter were EUR 0.07 (0.14).

Consolidated net financial expenses totalled EUR 0.3 (0.5) million.



FINANCIAL POSITION AND EXPENDITURE

At the end of the reporting period, the Digia Group's consolidated balance
sheet total stood at EUR 114.6 million (12/2010: EUR 115.4 million) and the
equity ratio was 56.3 (12/2010: 58.8) per cent. Net gearing was 28.8 (12/2010:
20.2) per cent. The period-end cash and cash equivalents totalled EUR 4.7
(12/2010: 9.7) million. 

Interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 23.0 (12/2010: 23.3) million. This
comprised EUR 21.7 million in loans from financial institutions, EUR 1.2
million in financial leasing liabilities and EUR 0.1 million in product
development loans. During the reporting period, the company repaid EUR 1.0
million in loans from financial institutions. 

The Group normally carries out quarterly impairment testing on goodwill and
intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. Digia is, however, currently
unable to provide a reliable forecast of the Mobile Solutions segment's
development. This is due to insufficient information on the scope, schedule and
impact of the changes occurring in the operating environment. The company's
management perceives a significantly increased risk of goodwill impairment for
the segment. 

The table below shows, by business segment, goodwill and values subject to
testing at the end of the reporting period:

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



Present values for the Enterprise Solutions segment were calculated for the
forecast period, based on the following assumptions: net sales for 2011
according to the latest forecast, after which annual growth of three per cent;
operating profit for 2011 in accordance with the latest forecast and after that
10 per cent, with discount rates of 11.2 per cent. Cash flows following the
forecast period are estimated by extrapolating the cash flows, using the
assumptions given above. The amount of goodwill for Enterprise Solutions
requires average annual growth of two per cent for business operations and five
per cent profitability. The management sees no risk of goodwill impairment for
Enterprise Solutions. 

The Group's cash flow from operations for the period was positive by EUR 1.8
(3.1) million, cash flow from investments was negative by EUR 0.9 (0.3) million
and cash flow from financing was negative by EUR 6.0 (3.5) million. Cash flow
from financing was negatively affected by the repayment of loans for a total
sum of EUR 1.0 million, as well as the payment of EUR 4.9 million in dividends. 

The Group's total investments in fixed assets during the review period were EUR
0.8 (0.3) million. Acquisitions of tangible fixed assets totalled EUR 0.7 (0.2)
million. 

Return on investment (ROI) for the period was 10.3 (21.2) per cent and return
on equity (ROE) was 8.8 (20.5) per cent. 



HUMAN RESOURCES, MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION

At the end of the period, the number of Group personnel totalled 1,586,
representing an increase of 28 employees or 1.8 per cent since the end of 2010
(1,558 employees). During the reporting period, the number of employees
averaged 1,580, an increase of 103 employees or 7.0 per cent over the 2010
average (1,477). 

Employees by function at the end of the period:



Enterprise Solutions           49%
----------------------------------
Mobile Solutions               48%
----------------------------------
Administration and management   3%
----------------------------------



As of the end of the period, 218 (12/2010: 196) employees were working abroad.

Digia Plc's Annual General Meeting of 16 March 2011 re-elected Robert Ingman,
Kari Karvinen, Pertti Kyttälä, Martti Mehtälä, Pekka Sivonen, Tommi Uhari and
Marjatta Virtanen as members of the Board. At the organisation meeting of the
Board, Pertti Kyttälä was elected as Chairman of the Board and Martti Mehtälä
as Vice Chairman. 

Juha Varelius has been Digia Plc's President and CEO since 1 January 2008.

Ernst & Young Oy, authorised public accountants, are the Group's auditors, with
Heikki Ilkka, Authorised Public Accountant, as the chief auditor. 


RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The company's short-term business risks and uncertainties were described in the
Financial Statements for 2010. These are mainly unchanged. However, the
uncertainty and business risks surrounding trends and forecasts for the mobile
market have grown. 



FUTURE PROSPECTS

The company's original objective for 2011 was to focus on increasing net sales.
This had to be updated due to the changes in the operating environment for
Mobile Solutions. Our updated measures are targeted to adjustment of the Mobile
Solutions segment as well as possible to future demand, swiftly recovery of
profitability and further development of the operations of the Enterprise
Solutions segment. The company aims to reinforce its organisation and
competencies through targeted recruitment. In addition to its core business
operations, the company will continue to invest in expanding its scalable
product business. Digia will also continue to develop its international
operations, particularly in China and Russia. 

As a whole, the company expects the IT market to continue growing moderately
from 2010 levels. For the rest of the year, it predicts a fall in the Mobile
Solutions segment's net sales from the 2010 total. Similarly, operational
profitability is expected to fall year on year, despite the streamlining
measures undertaken. 

For Enterprise Solutions, net sales are expected to grow organically during the
rest of the year, at least matching the moderate rate predicted for the IT
market. Profitability is expected to return to normal good level. The
commercial Qt-licensing and service operations, acquired from Nokia towards the
end of the review period, have made a promising start. They are expected to
contribute EUR 5-8 million to the net sales of Enterprise Solutions during the
remaining of 2011. Digia believes that these operations will have a neutral
impact on overall profit for 2011, despite the negative impact of the related
start-up costs during the second quarter. 

Continuing uncertainty surrounding the Mobile Solutions segment is, however,
hampering reliable forecasting of the company's operations. As a result, Digia
is unable to provide more reliable forecasts of its group level annual
consolidated net sales or profitability. 

The long-term cornerstones of Digia's success will be strengthening organic
growth and maintaining good cash flows and profitability. 


OTHER EVENTS DURING THE REVIEW PERIOD

Convening on 16 March 2011, Digia Plc's Annual General Meeting (AGM) adopted
the financial statements for 2010, released the Board members and the CEO from
liability, determined Board emoluments, resolved to raise the number of Board
members to seven (7), and elected the company's Board of Directors for a new
term. 

With regard to profit distribution for 2010, the AGM approved the Board's
proposal to pay a dividend of EUR 0.27 per share to all shareholders listed in
the shareholder list maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd on the reconciliation
date of 21 March 2011. The dividend payment date was 28 March 2011. 

The AGM granted the following authorisations to the Board:

Authorisation of the Board of Directors to decide on buying back own shares
and/or accepting them as collateral 

The AGM authorised the Board to decide on the buyback and/or acceptance as
collateral of a maximum of 2,000,000 shares in the company. The buyback can
only be executed using the company's unrestricted equity. The Board shall
decide on how the shares are bought. Own shares can be bought back in
disproportion to the holdings of the shareholders. The authorisation also
includes the acquisition of shares through public trading organised by NASDAQ
OMX Helsinki Oy in accordance with the rules and instructions of NASDAQ OMX
Helsinki and Euroclear Finland Ltd, or through offers made to shareholders.
Shares may be acquired in order to improve the company's capital structure, to
fund acquisitions or other business transactions, to offer share-based
incentive schemes, to sell on or to be annulled. The shares must be acquired at
the market price in public trading. The authorisation replaces the
authorisation granted by the Shareholders' Meeting on 3 March 2010 and is valid
for 18 months, i.e. until 16 September 2012. 

Authorising the Board of Directors to decide on a share issue and granting of
special rights 

The AGM authorised the Board to decide on an ordinary or bonus issue of shares
and the granting of special rights (as defined in Section 1, Chapter 10 of the
Limited Liability Companies Act) in one or more instalments, as follows: the
issue can total a maximum of 4,000,000 shares. The authorisation applies both
to new shares and own shares held by the company. By virtue of the
authorisation, the Board has the right to decide on share issues and the
granting of special rights, waiving the pre-emptive subscription rights of the
shareholders (directed issue). The authorisation can be used to fund or
complete acquisitions or other business transactions, to offer share-based
incentive schemes, to develop the company's capital structure, or for other
purposes. The Board was authorised to decide on all terms relating to the share
issue or special rights, including the subscription price, its payment in cash
or partly or wholly in capital contributed in kind, or by writing it off
against the subscriber's receivables, and its recognition in the company's
balance sheet. The authorisation replaces the authorisation granted by the
Shareholders' Meeting on 3 March 2010 and is valid for 18 months, i.e. until 16
September 2012.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

Accounting principles:

The interim report has been drafted in line with IFRS, applying the same
accounting principles as in the 2010 financial statements. The accounting
principles and formulae for the calculation of key figures and ratios are
unchanged and are presented in the 2010 financial statements. 



Seasonal nature of business:

The Group's business is affected by the number of workdays each month as well
as by holiday seasons. 



Dividends paid:

Dividends paid during the reporting period totalled EUR 4,851,297.62.



Events after the review period:

On 20 April 2011, the company concluded negotiations with employees concerning
the closure of its Pori unit, which it had initiated during the review period.
As a consequence, the company decided to close its Pori unit and thereby lay
off 63 employees from the unit by the end of October 2011. 

The company estimates that the downsizing will cause a one-off expense of EUR
1.1 million, to be entered in the accounts for the second quarter of 2011. 

Related party transactions:

The Digia Group's related parties include the CEO and the members of the Board
of Directors and Group Management Team. The Digia Group had no significant

On 7 March 2011 Digia concluded an agreement with Nokia Plc for the acquisition
of commercial Qt-business. Transaction included a right to sell commercial
software licenses for Qt-technology with the exclusivity for the first three
years. 

Purchase price for the acquired business includes fixed and variable
components. Fixed components amounts to 150,000 euros and it was paid with
company's cash reserves. In addition to fixed component the seller is entitled
to additional purchase price in the event the sales targets agreed for said
business for 2011-2013 are met. The additional purchase price is estimated to
amount 0,6 million euros, and it is paid in cash as realised. 

On the basis of the initial purchase price allocation the main portion of the
acquisition price (0,8 million euros) relates to acquired exclusivity to sell
commercial licenses as well as to acquired customer relationships. The
transaction carried no goodwill.
