Comptel - Interim report (Q1 and Q3)
INTERIM REPORT OF COMPTEL CORPORATION 1 JANUARY - 31 MARCH 2011
Helsinki, 2011-04-15 07:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stock exchange release15
April 2011 at 8.00 am
INTERIM REPORT OF COMPTEL CORPORATION 1 JANUARY - 31 MARCH 2011
Net sales and result decreased from the previous year, full year outlook
remains unchanged.
-- Net sales EUR 16.8 million (January - March 2010: 18.1)
-- Operating result EUR -0.2 million (+0.2)
-- Earnings per share EUR -0.02 (-0.01)
-- Order backlog EUR 34.6 million (35.6)
Comptel net sales are estimated to grow moderately in 2011. During this year,
the company will invest in further the development of its sales channels, and
as a result the operating profit is estimated to remain at the previous year's
level.
Juhani Hintikka, President and CEO
”Comptel's business did not meet our expectations in the first quarter of the
year. The development of net sales was especially disappointing in Europe and
the Middle East. Low net sales impaired the profitability of the quarter.
In Asia-Pacific, a major new customer contributed to our business. We signed a
multi-year contract with NBN Co to supply Comptel Fulfillment which automates
the service delivery process. The solution will support the delivery of IP
services on the ground-breaking broadband network NBN Co is deploying and which
will reach all the 10 million Australian premises.
Comptel's financial position remained strong in the first quarter.
We have adjusted our operating structure to improve the earnings capability.
The division of our European business into 2 regions, Europe West and Europe
East, will increase our efforts in the emerging markets of Russia and Eurasia,
while allowing us to remain actively involved in the large customer accounts in
Western Europe. We are also continuing to build a customer and partner intimacy
business model by placing sales force closer to our key customers and
partners.”
Business Review of the First Quarter 2011
Comptel's net sales decreased in the first quarter by 6.9 per cent from the
previous year, to EUR 16.8 million (18.1). Low service and maintenance revenue
mainly in Europe impaired the Group's net sales.
Due to low net sales, the operating result was EUR 0.2 million negative (+0.2),
which corresponds -0.9 per cent of net sales (1.1).
Loss before taxes was EUR 0.3 million (-0.0) and net loss was EUR 1.6 million
(-0.8). Earnings per share for the period under review were EUR 0.02 negative
(-0.01).
Tax expense for the period was EUR 1.3 million (0.7), of which EUR 0.7 million
were withholding taxes. The cumulative amount of outstanding double withholding
taxes payment since 2004 is EUR 7.2 million.
The Group's order backlog was EUR 34.6 million (35.6) at the end of the period.
Maintenance agreements represent EUR 20.8 million (22.2) and other order
backlog EUR 13.8 million (13.4) of the total. Order flow for the new deliveries
increased from the previous year.
During the first quarter, Comptel started to place more resources closer to key
customers and partners in growth markets. In January - February, Comptel was
engaged in statutory cooperation negotiations in Finland due to restructuring
of the European and MEA business units. As a result of these negotiations, the
company made 22 persons redundant. Due to the investments in the other markets
the total Group headcount is not expected to decrease.

Net sales in Europe decreased as a result of the removal from Comptel of the
maintenance of Telenor Norway's old IT systems, as agreed earlier. Low net
sales impaired the profitability in Europe and the Americas. In Asia-Pacific, a
new major customer improved net sales and profitability.
During the period, Comptel received three significant orders (Q1 2010: 1): one
fulfillment, one control & charge and one covering both of these main solution
areas. As of this year, Comptel is reporting sold projects and licenses with a
value of EUR 500,000 at the minimum, instead of new core licenses which value
exceed EUR 100,000. Reporting of significant orders reflects better the nature
of Comptel's business.

Mr Juhani Hintikka has acted as the President and CEO of Comptel as of 3
January 2011. Mr Mikko Hytönen assumed his post as CFO as of 1 March 2011 when
Mr Markku Pirskanen joined another employer.
In March, Comptel announced its intention to adjust its operating structure in
order to accelerate the execution of its growth strategy. The European business
area will be divided as of 1 July 2011 into two regions: Europe West and Europe
East. This move will allow Comptel to focus its efforts on the growth areas
especially in Russia and Eurasia, while remaining actively involved in its
large customer accounts in Western Europe.
Mr Timo Koistinen, SVP for region Europe, was appointed as Senior Vice
President for the region Europe East. Mr Mauro Carobene was appointed as Senior
Vice President for the region Europe West as of 28 April 2011 and he will be
based in Milan, Italy. Mr Carobene will join Comptel from Nokia Siemens
Networks where he has been responsible most recently for the OSS Consulting and
Systems Integration business globally.
In addition, Comptel will establish a new unit called Global Services to
develop services business and manage service products. The new unit will
provide a global platform for centralised operations while the operational
responsibility will remain in the business areas.
As of 1 April, a new unit of Corporate Development became operative. It
combines Strategic Planning, Legal, Investor Relations and Communications,
Marketing, and IT. Mr Simo Sääskilahti, SVP of Products and Solutions, was
appointed as Senior Vice President of Corporate Development. CEO Juhani
Hintikka is the acting Head of Products and Solutions for the time being.
As of 1 July 2011, Comptel Group will have the following five reportable
business segments: Europe West, Europe East, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and
Africa, Americas.
Following the changes in the operating structure, the members of Comptel
Executive Board are CEO Juhani Hintikka, the business area leaders Mr Mauro
Carobene (Europe West), Mr Timo Koistinen (Europe East), Mr Mika Korpinen
(Asia-Pacific), Mr Youssef Kermoury (Middle East and Africa) and Mr Diego
Becker (Americas), Mr Gareth Senior (CTO), Mr Mikko Hytönen (CFO), Ms Niina
Pesonen (HR), and Mr Simo Sääskilahti (Corporate Development and Deputy CEO).
The respective Heads of Products and Solutions, Global Services, and Alliances
will also be members in the Executive Board once these positions are filled. Mr
Brad Niven is the acting Head of Alliances and partnerships.
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 for 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 is implementing a customer and partner intimate business model which
requires getting competent resources closer to key customers and partners in
certain growth markets.
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
Norwegian Krone 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. Comptel is striving to change the
treatment of its withholding taxation for those countries where the issue is
still pending. Resolving the matter between states, however, includes factors
beyond the Company's control.
The risks and uncertainties of Comptel are described more in detail in
Comptel's annual report 2010.
Outlook
Comptel net sales are estimated to grow moderately in 2011. During this year,
the company will invest in further development of its sales channels, and as a
result the operating profit is estimated to remain at the previous year's
level.

Notes

interpretations endorsed by the EU and that are applicable to Comptel:
Revised IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures (effective for financial periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2011). The amendment simplifies and clarifies
the definition of a related party and relaxes the disclosure requirements of
business operations between public enterprises.

beginning on or after 1 July 2010). Under this procedure minor and non-urgent
amendments are grouped together and carried out through a single document

3. Income tax expense
Tax expense according to the statement of comprehensive income for the period
was EUR 1,329 thousand (EUR 728 thousand 2010).
In 2006, 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 Ministry of Finance has come to an agreement with Greece and Romania.
Relating to these countries, Comptel has booked EUR 595 thousand tax
receivables for taxes withheld in 2004 -2008. The refund process pertaining to
these countries is still pending with the relevant tax authorities. Comptel is
pursuing the negotiations with the Ministry of Finance and other countries that
have withheld tax at source to avoid double taxation.
According to the Board of Adjustment's decision currently in force, Comptel
Corporation has expensed taxes withheld at source amounting to EUR 690 thousand
in January - March (EUR 403 thousand).
