Business operations

QPR Software focuses on providing organizations software and professional
services for operational development. Our software and services are used in
over 50 countries. The Company offers its customers insight to their business
operations through modeling, analysis and performance monitoring. This insight
enables customers to streamline and improve business operations and to execute
their strategies swiftly and effectively. 



OUTLOOK

Operating environment and market outlook

QPR expects the demand for process mining software to grow in its home market
in Finland, as well as in the broader European market. The software market for
process mining is relatively new and, for the time being, its market size is
still small. Market maturity varies greatly from one country to another, but
already last year we experienced strong market growth in several European
countries. This growth is expected to continue this year, and the Company
believes that its QPR ProcessAnalyzer product has a strong position in the
market. 

In developed markets, competition in process and enterprise architecture
modeling and performance management software is expected to continue to
increase. In developing markets, especially in the Middle East and Africa,
there is still strong growth potential for these software products. 



Outlook for 2016

The Company´s outlook is unchanged.

In process mining software and process analysis services, QPR continues to
invest in direct sales in Finland and in international channel sales. The
Company estimates that this business will continue to grow this year. 

In process and enterprise architecture modeling and performance management
software, the tightened competition is expected to continue to have a negative
impact on sales in part of QPR´s reseller channel, especially in developed
markets. To offset this impact, QPR seeks growth from new reseller
partnerships, especially from Middle East and Africa. 

The Company believes that in its home market, Finland, it will maintain the
leading position as a process modeling and analysis software vendor targeting
operational development functions in organizations; as well as to preserve
QPR’s position in operational development consulting. This position has
strengthened over the past few years. 

The Company estimates that its comparable operating profit will grow in 2016
compared to 2015.

REPORTING

QPR Software innovates, develops, sells and delivers software and services in
international markets aimed at operational development. QPR Software reports
one operating segment: Operational development of organizations. In addition to
this, the Company reports revenue from products and services as follows:
Software licenses, Software maintenance services, Software rentals, and
Consulting. Software rentals and Software maintenance services together form
the recurring revenue reported by the Company. Recurring revenue is based on
long-term contracts continuing for the time being or for a fixed period of
several years. Typically rental and maintenance charges are invoiced annually
in advance. 

The geographical areas reported are Finland, the rest of Europe (including
Russia and Turkey), and the rest of the world. Net sales are reported according
to the customer´s location. 

In the January – June 2016 interim report the Company has renamed a term used
in financial reporting to comply with the European Securities and Markets
Authority´s (ESMA) recommendations for alternative key figures. The new term
used for previously used “operating profit excluding non-recurring items” is
“comparable operating profit”. Items having an impact on comparable operating
profit are, for example, non-recurring items related to business streamlining
or restructuring. Comparable operating profit is calculated by eliminating
these items from operating profit. Interest-bearing net debt is calculated by
deducting cash and cash equivalents out of interest-bearing liabilities. 



REVIEW BY THE CEO

After a challenging first quarter, our profit development made a clear upturn
in the second quarter from April to June. As a result of streamlining our
operations, EBITDA doubled year-on-year and operating profit exceeded 10% of
net sales. 

The business environment remained challenging and economic growth was weak in
most markets. This was the case especially in the Company’s largest market
area, Europe (including Finland). Channel license net sales were negatively
affected by the tightened competition in process modeling software, as well as
performance management software. 

However, in the second quarter we received many positive signals that indicate
accelerating growth in the process mining market. Our net sales in this product
area grew over 50 % and we acquired many significant customers among large
international corporations. Due to our patented technology, early go-to-market
strategy and innovative functionalities, our process mining software QPR
ProcessAnalyzer is in excellent position to continue its strong revenue growth.
Our patented technology in question received additional intellectual property
protection in May, when the United States Patent and Trademark Office awarded
already the second patent for this technology. 

In 2015, we invested in recruiting and training new reseller partners; as well
as in marketing and product launches in new markets. In process mining
software, we expanded distribution especially into developed European markets,
such as Germany, Sweden, Belgium and the Netherlands. For performance
management and process modeling software, we recruited many new resellers from
Middle East, Africa and South America. 

We believe these investments will have a positive impact on net sales this
year, but at the same time, we estimate that the tightened competition will
continue to have a negative impact on sales in part of QPR´s reseller channel.
We estimate that comparable operating profit will grow in 2016, as compared to
2015.

NET SALES DEVELOPMENT JANUARY 1 – JUNE 30, 2016

April – June 2016

Net sales in the second quarter were EUR 2,173 thousand (2,402) and decreased
10% from the corresponding period of the previous year. This was mainly due to
a decrease in process modeling and performance management software net sales in
the international sales channel. Process mining software and related consulting
net sales grew significantly, over 50% compared to prior year. 

Software license net sales decreased 39% compared to previous year. Net sales
were negatively affected by the tightened competition in process and enterprise
architecture modeling software, as well as performance management software. 

Net sales from software maintenance services and software rentals decreased
(-6% and -7%, respectively). Currency exchange rates had a slightly negative
impact on software maintenance service net sales. The share of recurring
revenues was 50% (48) of total net sales. 

Consulting net sales were on the same level as in the previous year (+1%).
Technical SAP consulting net sales decreased, but process mining consulting net
sales increased significantly. 

Of the Group net sales, 71% (65) derived from Finland, 18% (19) from the rest
of Europe (including Russia and Turkey) and 11% (16) from the rest of the
world.

January – June 2016

Net sales in the January – June reporting period were EUR 4,215 thousand
(4,926). The decrease in net sales was due to weaker sales in software licenses

were negatively affected by tightened competition in process modeling and
performance management software. 

Software maintenance services net sales and software rental net sales decreased
(-7% and -6%, respectively). Currency exchange rates had a negative impact to
software maintenance service net sales. The share of recurring revenues was 52%
(47) of total net sales.

technical SAP consulting net sales and a slow start in operational development
consulting projects at the beginning of the year. 

Of the Group net sales, 70% (67) derived from Finland, 19% (18) from the rest
of Europe (including Russia and Turkey) and 11% (14) from the rest of the

OTHER EVENTS DURING THE QUARTER

In January, QPR and the Swedish business and IT services company iStone
announced that they have signed a reseller agreement for QPR ProcessAnalyzer -
the software that enables automated process analysis based on existing data
from Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. The partnership creates new
opportunities in automated process mapping and process flow optimization,
especially for those organizations using the ERP system Infor M3. 

QPR Software and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Portugal announced in February
that they have signed a consulting agreement on using QPR ProcessAnalyzer in
PwC’s process and operational improvement consulting in Portugal. QPR
ProcessAnalyzer enables automated process analysis based on existing data from
enterprise IT systems, utilizing technology patented in the United States by
QPR. 

In March, QPR completed co-determination negotiations with its personnel. As a
result of the negotiations, the Company reduces its annual expenses by
approximately EUR 0.7 million. Of the total, EUR 0.1 million will be realized
by reducing external purchases and EUR 0.6 million through personnel
reductions. 

QPR signed an agreement in March on delivering software for business process
management purposes in one of the world’s largest lighting manufacturing
companies. The signed agreement is valid for three years, and the value of the
entire three year agreement is approximately EUR 0.2 million before reseller
commissions. 

In March, QPR announced the launch of QPR MobileDashboard, an application that
makes it even easier to access and browse actionable performance information on
the go. 

QPR Software was listed in April as a representative vendor in the Gartner
Market Guide for Enterprise Business Process Analysis (EBPA). Globally the
Gartner Market Guide lists 22 representative vendors offering solutions in this
market. 

In May, QPR received additional intellectual property protection for its
process mining technology. This was already the second patent that the United
States Patent and Trademark Office has awarded for the technology in question.
The patented technology is utilized in QPR ProcessAnalyzer, an application
developed by QPR. QPR’s previous patent from 2015 related to the utilization of
event instance data obtained from information management systems to help
organizations analyze and improve their business processes. The latest patent
now safeguards the technology behind predicting the probability of future
events based on process analysis. 

In June, the Company announced the release of the new QPR Suite 2016, the
complete portfolio of business management tools for planning, executing and
monitoring strategy-driven operations. The newest developments in QPR
technology bring enhancements to user experience and enable easy integration
between QPR products and third party software. New features of the Suite
further strengthen QPR’s offering as a value-adding solution provider for
strategy execution, business-IT alignment, performance and process management
and process mining. 

In June, QPR made a deal to deliver QPR ProcessDesigner and QPR Metrics, as
well as professional consulting services to a leading European engineering
group. The duration of the contract made is three years, and it is worth well
over 0,2 million euros. 



EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

There were no significant events after the reporting period.

as QPR Software´s auditor with Kirsi Jantunen, Authorized Public Accountant,
acting as principal auditor. The term of office of the auditor expires at the
end of the next Annual General Meeting. 

The Annual General Meeting decided to authorize the Board of Directors to
decide on an issue of new shares and conveyance of the own shares held by the
Company (share issue) either in one or in several occasions. The share issue
can be carried out as a share issue against payment or without consideration on
terms to be determined by the Board of Directors. 

All authorizations of the Board and other decisions made by the Annual General

SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Internal control and risk management at QPR Software aims to ensure that the
Company operates efficiently and effectively, distributes reliable information,
complies with regulations and operational principles, reaches its strategic
goals, reacts to changes in the market and operational environment; and ensures
the continuity of its business. 

QPR has identified the following three groups of risks related to its
operations: risks related to business operations (country, customer, personnel,
legal), risks related to information and products (QPR products, IPR, data
security) and risks related to financing (foreign currency, short-term cash
flow). The Company has an insurance policy for property, operational and
liability risks. 

Financial risks include reasonable credit risk concerning individual business
partners, which is characteristic to any international business. QPR seeks to
limit this credit risk by continuous monitoring of standard payment terms,
receivables and credit limits. The amount of trade receivables over 60 days
past due was 14% (11) of total trade receivables at the end of the reporting
period. 

Approximately 69% of Group’s trade receivables were in Euro at the end of the
reporting period (66). At the end of the reporting period, the Company had not
hedged its non-euro trade receivables. 

QPR has initiated an arbitration process due to a customer´s decision to
dissolve a contract, as QPR regards this dissolution unjustified. The value of
the contract is less than EUR 100 thousand and less than EUR 50 thousand has
been recognized as revenue. 

No significant changes have taken place in the Company’s short-term risks and
uncertainties during the quarter. Risks and risk management related to the
Company’s business are further described in the Annual Report 2015, pages 14-15
(http://cdn.qpr.com/sites/default/files/QPR_Software_Annual_Report_2015_1.pdf).

NOTES TO HALF YEAR  FINANCIAL REPORT

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

This report complies with requirements of IAS 34 ”Interim Financial Reporting”.
Starting from the beginning of 2016, the Group has applied certain new or
revised IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations as described in the
Consolidated Financial Statements 2015. The implementation of these new and
revised requirements have not impacted the reported figures. For all other
parts, the accounting principles and methods are the same as they were in the
2015 financial statements. 

When preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to
make estimates and assumptions regarding the future and to consider the
appropriate application of accounting principles, which means that actual
results may differ from those estimated. 

All amounts presented in this report are consolidated figures, unless otherwise
noted. The amounts presented in the report are rounded, so the sum of
individual figures may differ from the sum reported. This report is unaudited. 

During the reporting period, the Group did not have any financial instruments
measured at fair value.
