CEO Juko Hakala comments:

In the first quarter of 2016, we closed several multiyear deals, with
especially our teams in Finland and Norway contributing to the order intake
growth of 19%. Our order backlog also grew compared to Q1 2015. 

Despite the strength in order intake, our revenue and profitability weakened.
On revenue, Denmark and Sweden developed favorably following good H2 2015 sales
and high utilization in Q1 2016. We had growth in Norway driven by software and
appliance license sales. On the other hand, revenue in Baltic declined year
over year driven by the successful completion of key insurance sector projects
in 2015 and the same reason impacted Baltic profitability. Consultancy based
revenue declined in Finland while continued development actions in Sweden and
recovery execution in Denmark supported profit growth in the respective
segments. Finland and Norway had weak profitability. 

We also continued the focus on our key business development actions. We
strengthened unique capabilities in analytics, custom development, managed
services, design, cloud, security and sensors. In the Industrial growth
program, we delivered more projects and prototypes in bridging the physical and
the digital. In the B2C growth program, projects with Affecto Video Analytics
solution with real-time cloud analytics and reporting capabilities progressed.
We also continued to strive towards nimble economies of scale, building an
integrated grid of 18 offices across Northern Europe. 

We will organize a Capital Markets Day 20th of May, 2016 to present further
information of Affecto and our direction. 





2016 Outlook

Affecto expects its revenue to stay at the same level or grow slightly and its
operating profit to grow in 2016. 

The company does not provide an exact quarterly guidance for revenue or
operating profit development, as single projects and timing of license sales
may have large impact on quarterly sales and profit. 



Analyst and Press Conference

The Company will arrange a briefing for analysts and media 9 May 2016 at 15:00
at Glo Hotel Kluuvi, Kluuvikatu 4, FI-00100 Helsinki.

AFFECTO FINANCIALS

MEUR). Order intake increased significantly in Finland and Norway and increased
in Sweden. Order intake decreased in Denmark and decreased significantly in
Baltic.

In 1-3/2016, Affecto’s revenue declined by 6 % to 27.3 MEUR (29.1 MEUR). While
revenue increased in Denmark, Norway and Sweden, the overall group revenue
development year over year was impacted by the decline of consultancy revenue
in Finland and the successful completion of key insurance sector projects in
Baltic in 2015.

In 1-3/2016, Affecto's operating profit declined to 3.7% and was 1.0 MEUR (2.1
MEUR). The improved profitability in Sweden and Denmark was offset by weak
profitability development year over year in Norway, Finland and Baltic. 

Taxes corresponding to the profit of the period have been entered as tax
expense. Net profit for the period was 0.7 MEUR, while it was 1.4 MEUR last
year. 





Business Performance by Segment

The group's business is managed through five reportable segments: Finland,
Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Baltic. 

Finland

In 1-3/2016 revenue decreased by 8% to 11.2 MEUR (12.1 MEUR). Operational
segment result was 0.1 MEUR (0.6 MEUR) or 1% (5%) of revenue. The order intake
increased significantly and the order backlog is above last year's level. The
sales actions succeeded well. The Company secured large orders from e.g. Yle
and Keva that positively affected the order intake.  The performance of the
consultancy business and increased subcontracting costs affected the
profitability negatively. 

In 1-3/2016 revenue of Karttakeskus geographical information system (“GIS”)
business, reported as part of Finland, decreased by 16% to 2.4 MEUR (2.9 MEUR).
Karttakeskus lost large contracts in 2015 which negatively affected the revenue
during the quarter. 

The demand for traditional IT solutions is expected to remain active. In this
area, the demand for managed services is strong. Affecto experienced an
increased market demand related to business technology and analytics solutions,
both from existing and new customers. These solutions are typically closely
related to real processes and real world phenomena with systematic and
analytical approach to the collected data. In the area where Karttakeskus GIS
business operates in, the customer demand for printed products has been
declining consistently. Traditional maps are in transformation to digital
content and solutions, an area where we have actively developed new
capabilities and offerings. 

Norway

In 1-3/2016 revenue increased by 3% to 5.6 MEUR (5.4 MEUR). Operational segment
result was 0.3 MEUR (0.6 MEUR) or 5% (11%) of revenue. The order intake
increased significantly and order backlog is above last year's level. These
improvements are driven by a combination of traditional Business Intelligence
(“BI”) and master data management initiatives as well as a growing interest in
new business technologies and analytics. However, both order intake and revenue
were at the same time negatively impacted by the weakening NOK, revenue
increased 12% year over year at constant currency. License revenue increased
compared to last year. Finally, profitability was negatively affected by low
utilization and delayed project deliveries, an issue that the Company is
currently addressing. 

Sweden

In 1-3/2016 revenue increased by 1% and was 4.6 MEUR (4.6 MEUR). Operational
segment result was 0.3 MEUR (0.1 MEUR) or 7% (2%) of revenue. The order intake
increased and order backlog is above last year's level. Continued development
actions have been executed during the quarter. Utilization was high due to
increased demand for traditional BI solutions combined with an increase in
demand for new business technologies, most notably within the collaboration
area. Consequently, revenue and operational segment result developed favorably.
Further, the Company’s focus is on recruitment and leverage of nearshoring to
equip growth path. 

Denmark

In 1-3/2016 revenue increased by 12% and was 3.2 MEUR (2.9 MEUR). Operational
segment result was 0.3 MEUR (0.1 MEUR) or 8% (2%) of revenue. Order intake
decreased and order backlog is above last year's level. Business recovery
actions continued to progress and revenue and operational segment result
developed favorably. During the quarter the Company also increased its
engagement with customers in exploring new business technology and analytics
solutions while at the same time increasing capacity to address the traditional
BI and master data management market to increase short term sales. 

In 1-3/2016, across the Scandinavian markets the Company experienced a growing
demand for traditional BI solutions and Master Data Management in the form of
managed services and modernization of BI solutions. There is also growing
interest related to new business technologies and analytics, mainly in the form
of demand for self-service analytics tools and customer or product master data
management, driven by customer’s digitalization initiatives. More organizations
are also starting to show interest in analytics, big data and Internet of
Things technologies. 

Baltic

In 1-3/2016 the Baltic (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, South Africa)
revenue declined 18% and was 4.2 MEUR (5.1 MEUR). Operational segment result
was 0.4 MEUR (1.3 MEUR) or 8% (26%) of revenue. Order intake decreased
significantly and order backlog is below last year’s level. The weakened
performance is mainly attributable to the major insurance business projects
that positively affected 2015 but ended by the end of the year. The Company
continued to focus on local business development in Baltic, on nearshoring
boost for all Affecto countries and on strong co-operation with TIA
Technologies within the insurance sector. 

In 1-3/2016, the Company saw in Estonia that the public sector is investing
into improvement of their processes and digital services for citizens and
customers are interested in predictive analytics. In the Lithuanian market the
Company saw only modest demand by the public sector to invest into new IT
initiatives. Across the segment, the private sector is interested in investing
into core IT systems implementation,  renewal projects and solutions. The
insurance sector where the Company is focused on in South Africa and Latvia is
investing into core systems while demand for new solutions is modest. 

Business Development Actions

Affecto continued to focus on the key business development actions. The Company
strengthened unique capabilities in analytics, custom development, managed
services, design, cloud, security and sensors. In the Industrial growth
program, the Company delivered more projects and prototypes in bridging the
physical and the digital. In the B2C growth program, projects with Affecto
Video Analytics solution with real-time cloud analytics and reporting
capabilities progressed. The Company also continued to strive towards nimble
economies of scale, building an integrated grid of 18 offices across Northern
Europe. 

Financial Position and Cash Flow

At the end of the reporting period Affecto's balance sheet totaled 114.9 MEUR
(12/2015: 120.3 MEUR). Equity ratio was 61.8% (12/2015: 58.5%) and net gearing
was -4.0% (12/2015: -6.2%). 

The financial loans were 18.5 MEUR (12/2015: 18.5 MEUR) at the end of reporting
period. The Company's cash and liquid assets were 21.0 MEUR (12/2015: 22.4
MEUR). The interest-bearing net debt was -2.6 MEUR (12/2015: -3.9 MEUR). The
existing loan will be re-financed by the end of Q2/16. 

Cash flow from operating activities for the reported period was -1.3 MEUR (0.4
MEUR) and cash flow from investing activities was -0.2 MEUR (-0.2 MEUR).
Investments in tangible and intangible assets were 0.2 MEUR (0.2 MEUR). The
cash flow from operating activities was affected by a negative change in
working capital driven by the Swedish and Norwegian segments. 

Personnel

The number of employees was 972 (1014) persons at the end of the reporting
period. 389 (426) employees were based in Finland, 99 (88) in Norway, 101 (120)
in Sweden, 65 (68) in Denmark and 318 (312) in the Baltic countries. The
average number of employees during the period was 984 (1017). 

On 14 March 2016, the Company announced that Julius Manni, who served as
Managing Director, Finland & Culture and member of the Leadership Team leaves
the Company and Henri Engström is appointed Leadership Team member and acting
Managing Director, Finland. 

Corporate Governance

Affecto’s corporate governance practices comply with Finnish laws and
regulations, Affecto’s Articles of Association, the rules of NASDAQ Helsinki
and the Finnish Corporate Governance Code issued by the Securities Market
Association of Finland in 2015. The code is publicly available at
http://cgfinland.fi/en/. Affecto has published its corporate governance
statement for 2015 in the Financial Statements 2015 and on the Company website
www.affecto.com. 






Shares and Shareholders

The Company has one share series and all shares have similar rights. At the end
of the review period Affecto Plc's share capital consisted of 22 450 745 shares
and the Company owned 846 235 treasury shares, approximately 3.8 % of the total
amount of the shares. Additional information with respect to the shares,
shareholding and trading can be found on the Company’s website www.affecto.com. 

Risks and Uncertainties

The markets where Affecto operates are going through change. Historically,
Affecto has concentrated on the traditional IT market solutions, demand for
which has moderated. However, at the same time there is growing market in new
business technology & analytics. There is a risk as well as an opportunity with
respect to the speed of which Affecto is able to develop the new emerging areas
in proportion to the traditional areas 

Affecto’s success depends also on good customer relationships. Affecto has a
diverse customer base. In 2015, the largest customer generated approximately 2%
and the 10 largest customers together approximately 18% of Affecto’s net sales.
Although none of the customers is critically large for the whole group, there
are large customers in various countries that are significant for local
business in the relevant country. On the other hand, the diverse customer base
may decrease the effectiveness of the sales & delivery efforts and overall
agility of the company. 

Affecto also needs to be seen as an interesting employer in order to recruit
and retain skilled employees. It is important for Affecto to be seen as an
employer our employees can be proud of. High people churn may create
inefficiencies in the business and temporarily decrease the utilization rate. 

The changes in the general economic conditions and the operating environment of
customers have direct impact on Affecto’s markets. The uncertain economic
outlook may affect Affecto’s customers negatively. Slower IT investment
decision making and uncertainty on new investments with respect to new business
technology solutions may have negative impact on Affecto. Affecto’s order
backlog has traditionally been only a few months long. Slower decision making
of the customers decreases the predictability of the business and may decrease
the utilization rate. 

Affecto sells third party software licenses and maintenance as part of its
solutions. Typically, the license sales have the highest 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. Additionally, the increase of cloud
services and other similar market trends may affect the license sales
negatively. Affecto had license sales of approximately 7 MEUR in 2015. 

The Company recognizes that the risks of frauds and cyber security threats have
increased. The Company aims to mitigate the increased risks with internal
controls, IT-security, training, awareness and security minded culture. 

The Company recognizes the disintegration of its IT systems and process. Given
the number of separate systems, there is low group wide transparency and risk
of suboptimal management of the respective businesses. 

Approximately 35% of Affecto’s net sales are generated in Sweden and Norway,
thus the development of the currencies of these countries (SEK and NOK) may
have an impact on Affecto’s profitability. The main part of the companies’
income and costs are within the same currency, which decreases the risks. In
addition, the Company also has business in South Africa and therefore the
development of the South African Rand (ZAR) may also affect the business
environment in South Africa and thus the Company’s business. 

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 the reported profit and value of
assets.

2016 Outlook

Affecto expects its revenue to stay at the same level or grow slightly and its
operating profit to grow in 2016. 

The company does not provide an exact quarterly guidance for revenue or
operating profit development, as single projects and timing of license sales
may have large impact on quarterly sales and profit.
