Outlook
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.
These statements for 2015 are based on the company's audited financial
statements. The Auditor's Report was issued 17 February, 2016.
Juhani Hintikka, President and CEO:
” We are very pleased with our growth for 2015. In the fourth quarter our net
sales and order intake were highest in our history and we closed the year with
highest ever backlog. During 2015 we invested significantly in developing the
new FWD software-as-a-service and bringing that to market. We also invested
significantly in increased delivery capacity and in sales and marketing as well
as in our current portfolio. This is to strengthen our growth in future years.
These investments for future growth did lower our relative profitability during
2015, but we still managed to improve our operating profit from last year.
Going forward we are looking to improve our relative profitability further.
Geographically Europe and APAC grew significantly during 2015. Revenue in
Europe was on an all time high level both in the fourth quarter and the full
year. Our strategy execution and progress especially in Europe was excellent
during 2015 and we built a solid future especially with our global operator
customers there.
Both business units grew significantly in the fourth quarter. Transformation
projects for our operator customers continued to be a major market driver for
our growth. We managed to position Comptel solidly as a challenger with
innovative offering and that drove demand.
Our FlowOne solution’s excellent competitiveness and strengthening market
position impacted significantly our revenue growth. Intelligent Data unit did
also well and performed 30 upgrades to the new Data Refinery platform. We also
signed four new integrated analytics customers in Intelligent Data Business
Unit. The new digital sales channel solution FWD was launched in the fourth
quarter. Customers have shown significant interest towards FWD and we expect to
win several new customers in 2016.
Due to new ruling by the tax regulators regarding withholding tax, taxes from
2014 were corrected in 2015. This adjustment of EUR 0.3 million had a negative
impact on net profit for the full year.
During 2015, we secured 29 significant orders valued over EUR 0.5 million. In
2014, the comparable number of orders was 26.”
Business review 2015
In the fourth quarter, Comptel’s net sales increased by 21.7 percent compared
to previous year and were EUR 32.6 million (26.8). Sales in both business units
were strong in the fourth quarter, Intelligent Data growing 19.8 per cent and
Service Orchestration 23.4 per cent compared to last year. In the fourth
quarter, most of the solutions within the business units grew compared to
previous year’s fourth quarter as well as compared to third quarter in 2015.
Full year net sales increased by 14 per cent compared to previous year the main
driver being Comptel FlowOne solution sales. Service Orchestration sales grew
by 20.1 per cent compared to previous year.
The operating profit for 2015 was EUR 8.5 million (8.3), which is 8.7 per cent
of net sales (9.7). The relative lower profitability was driven by significant
investments in development of FWD cloud solution, investment in delivery
capacity as well as current product portfolio.
The operating result for 2015 was EUR 8.5 million (8.3), which is 8.7 per cent
of net sales (9.7). The relative lower profitability was driven by investments
in development of FWD solution, a future platform, investment in delivery
capacity as well as current product portfolio.
Financial income/expenses were EUR -1.1 million for the full year 2015 (-0.9).
This was due to fluctuation in exchange rates between EUR and other currencies
during the year.
For 2015, profit before taxes was EUR 7.6 million (7.4) and net profit for the
period was EUR 4.5 million (5.5). Earnings per share for the period was EUR
0.04 (0.05).
The consolidated effective tax rate in 2015 was 40.5 per cent (26.6).In the
latest tax decision the tax authorities changed the interpretation on
withholding taxes for certain countries. Due to this decision a onetime
adjustment for 2014 taxes was made in 2015 which had a 4.2 per cent negative
impact on the effective tax rate. The new decision also increased 2015
effective tax rate by 3.3 per cent.
The tax expense for the financial year was EUR 3.1 million (2.0), including EUR
1.2 million of withholding taxes (0.5).
Order backlog for the next 12 months increased from the previous year and was
EUR 66.3 million (55.2) at the end of the financial year. The company’s total
backlog including multi-year orders is over EUR 90 million (at the end of 2014
over EUR 70 million).
Comptel strategy
Life is digital moments. Digital demand will be driven by “Generation Cloud”
customers and enterprises interacting with millions of digital applications.
The Internet of Things with billions of connected devices will further
accelerate the digital demand leading to exploding data volumes. Future mobile
and fixed networks will provide hyper speeds and undergo a transformation from
hardware to software. Network functions will be virtualised. Mounting
complexity will require orchestration of business flows and virtualised
resources.
Comptel mission is to perfect the digital moments and translate them into
business moments by connecting digital demand and supply.
The Comptel strategy focuses on providing solutions for digital and
communications service providers in two major areas – Intelligent Data and
Service Orchestration. The Intelligent Data business delivers solutions and
services to customers for monetising data and turning big data into intelligent
automated actions. The Service Orchestration business area provides solutions
and services for business flow orchestration and mastering the digital buying
experience.
Comptel’s strategic target is to establish itself as a leading software vendor
for connecting digital demand and supply.
Strategy execution is based on six strategic objectives: solutions with unique
value, thought leadership, customer excellence, new markets, leverage by
partners and inspired people.
Comptel´s marketing strategy strives for industry thought leadership on
carefully selected themes and topics which are: Digital Buying Experience,
Monetising more with less time, Orchestration of service and order flows from
ground to cloud and intelligent fast data. The essence of Comptel’s thought
leadership is captured in the book “Operation Nexterday” that was launched in
Barcelona’s Mobile World Congress in March 2015.

The focus of Comptel’s R&D expenditure was in the further development of
solutions in the main product areas, Service Orchestration and Intelligent
Data. Development is targeted both to secure the recurring revenue with
competitive products and to win new markets by giving customers unique value
with new innovations. Service Orchestration’s FlowOne Fulfillment solution is
developed as a suite of orchestration elements that manage the service and
business flows from ground to cloud. Intelligent Data’s Data Refinery captures
data-in-motion and uses embedded intelligence to refine it for automated,
in-the-moment decisions and actions. Monetizer is the business policy and
charging tool that allows the rapid innovation and design of rich communication
and data service offers. Data Fastermind embeds artificial intelligence,
prediction and machine learning capabilities into all solutions.
In these areas Comptel seeks global thought leadership in solving the business
challenges of operators and digital communications service providers.
Additionally Comptel has started to invest in new products around the digital
buying experience.
During 2015, Comptel continued to develop its current offering, and twelve
major software releases were launched in these respective product areas.

Events after the reporting period
There were no significant events after the reporting period.
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 manner 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 and 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 decision 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.
Business outlook and markets
It is more and more evident that both the business environment and technology
in telecommunications business are entering a new disruption point. New
competition from global technology giants like Facebook, Google and Apple is
challenging operators in their core business and forcing them to adapt to the
new business models and look for cost-efficiency and flexibility in their
operations. We expect this trend to continue also during the next few years and
to bring Comptel considerable opportunity by connecting to this new demand.
Currently key operator investment are driven by the vastly increasing data
demand and targeted to increase the network bandwidth. Roll-outs of 4G and
fibre networks are going on worldwide and operators have a strong need to
harvest this capacity also with new money-generating services. Importance of
customer experience and fierce competition both inside the telecoms industry
and against the disruptors requires that operators improve their business
processes continuously and pay special attention to the cost structure.
Traditionally the role of Comptel’s software has been in the management of
services and assigning network capacity to end users. The on-going shift of
networks towards new cloud-based software technologies and the resulting
tighter integration of network and business layers will mean that the
significance and value of the management software will increase. This is
expected to bring new and more extensive business opportunities for Comptel
Service Orchestration and Intelligent Data solutions.
In the search of new revenue sources operators need more flexibility in
integration towards other business domains. To open up these new channels they
need to introduce more sophisticated sales, order management and charging
systems. The customers in this market position require both more high value
services and new project deliveries that will create opportunity for business
growth.
Changes in Reporting
The company will be changing its segment reporting from 2016 onwards. The new
segments will be Business Units: Intelligent Data and Service Orchestration.
Comparable numbers for 2015 will be published in March 2016.
Outlook
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 3,085 thousand (EUR 1,975 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 1,167
thousand in the accounting year 2015 (EUR 468 thousand).
