CEO'S REVIEW
Valued customers, partners, coworkers, and shareholders,
The first quarter of 2015 coincided with the twentieth anniversary of the
invention of the SSH protocol and the establishment of SSH Communications
Security. Contemplating on the past is useful at times and it is remarkable to
notice how while the world has changed, the issues that were key to the
invention and the establishment of the company are even more topical today.
Cyber insecurity is a growing concern and needs to be tackled, but the more it
becomes the norm rather than an anomaly, the less it should affect the everyday
flow of events. Information flow can not be disrupted, work flow can not become
more complex, the effortless flow of business must prevail.
The embracing of this flow thinking is the key driver in taking SSH
Communications Security into the future. We realize, that as our products and
services gain an ever more central role in the daily operations of governments
and enterprise, they need to maintain and improve fluidity and efficiency, not
increase complexity. This is the common base in the ongoing streamlining and
updating of our product portfolio and our product development projects will
lead the way to the evolution and redefining of the convenience and efficiency
of access management.
2015 has kicked off with major revenue growth and advances. Closing a
substantial deal with a major UK based financial institution, as well as
signing a significant service contract with a global bank provided for the bulk
of new business. The announcement of cloud functionality for the CryptoAuditor
product proved a major success, with immediate deployments and new partner
contracts, particularly in the APAC region.
Our heightened emphasis on solidifying our immaterial rights portfolio
management has led to ongoing major negotiations with key global players and
will be pursued further with increasing vigor. And the extension of our
government specific offering has gained substantial ground as well and is
broadening our view of the market. Our announcement of a joint secure phone
project with Finnish mobile operating system developer Jolla created
substantial buzz at the Mobile World Congress and numerous enquiries from all
over the world.
On the finance front the company's €12 million issue of convertible capital
securities was oversubscribed, leading to the repayment of a previous issue,
substantially strengthening the company's cash position, allowing growth
investment and supporting the defending and monetizing of intellectual property
rights.
As SSH Communications Security welcomed Markku Rossi to the position of Chief
Technology Officer as well as Timi Petersen as Chief Marketing Officer the
organizational restructuring was finalized to better reflect current strategic
initiatives. Product line structure has now been implemented and functions as a
key element in adding capability to absorb and incorporate customer feedback
and insight more inherently into operations.
In retrospect, the first quarter of 2015 saw the setting in place of many of
the key elements for driving long-term success for SSH Communications Security.
We are now well positioned to face the escalation of cybersecurity challenges
and contribute our extensive know-how and experience for the benefit of our
customers and partners.

SHARE CAPITAL AND BOARD AUTHORIZATIONS
The company's registered share capital on March 31, 2015 was EUR 929,220.99
consisting of 30,974,033 shares.
The Annual General Meeting approved the Board of Directors' proposal to
authorize the Board of Directors to decide upon the issuing of a maximum of
4,000,000 shares as a share issue against payment or by giving stock options or
other special rights entitling to shares, in accordance with Chapter 10 Section
1 of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act, either according to the
shareholders' pre-emptive right to share subscription or deviating from this
right, in one or more tranches. Based on the authorization, it can be either
issuing of new shares or transfer of own shares which the company possibly has
in its possession. Based on the authorization, the Board of Directors shall
have the same rights as the Annual General Meeting to decide upon the issuing
of shares against payment and special rights (including stock options) in
accordance with Chapter 10 Section 1 of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies
Act. Thereby, the authorization to be given to the Board of Directors includes,
inter alia, the right to deviate from the shareholders' pre-emptive rights with
directed issues providing that the company has a weighty financial reason for
the deviation in respect of the share issue against payment.
Furthermore, the authorization includes the Board of Directors' right to decide
upon who are entitled to the shares and/or stock options or special rights in
accordance with Chapter 10 Section 1 of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies
Act as well as upon the related compensation, subscription and payment periods
and upon the registering of the subscription price into the share capital or
invested non-restricted equity fund within the limits of the Finnish Limited
Liability Companies Act.
The authorization will be valid until the next Annual General Meeting, but will
however expire at the latest on June 30th 2016.
The Annual General Meeting approved the Board of Directors' proposal to
authorize the Board of Directors to decide upon the acquiring of a maximum of
2,000,000 own shares of the company with assets belonging to the company's
non-restricted equity. This amount corresponds approximately to 6.5 % of all
the shares of the company. The shares can also be acquired otherwise than in
proportion to the holdings of the existing shareholders (targeted repurchase).
The maximum compensation to be paid for the acquired shares shall be the market
price at the time of purchase, which is determined in the public
trading.
The authorization for the acquiring of the company's own shares will be used,
inter alia, to strengthen the company's capital structure, to finance and
realize corporate acquisitions and other arrangements, to realize the
share-based incentive programs of the company or otherwise to be kept by the
company, to be transferred for other purposes or to be cancelled. The
acquisition of shares reduces the company's distributable non-restricted
equity.
Decision concerning the acquiring of own shares cannot be made so that the
combined amount of the own shares which are in the possession of, or held as
pledges by, the company or its subsidiaries exceeds one-tenth of all shares.
The Board of Directors shall decide upon all other matters related to the
acquisition of shares.
The authorization will be valid until the next Annual General Meeting, but will
however expire at the latest on June 30th 2016.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Largest risks that might impact the profitability of the company have remained
by and large the same than in previous reporting period and are listed below.
Other risks, which are currently either unknown or considered immaterial to SSH
Communications Security may, however, become material in the future.
Largest risks:
- continuing uncertainty of the macroeconomic environment
- delays on product development and closing new business
- competitiveness of the product portfolio including intellectual property (IPR)
- litigation, especially in U.S. market
- competitive dynamics in the industry
- ability of the organization to scale up operations with the growth
- large portion of the company revenue is invoiced in USD currency so possible
large fluctuation in USD currency rates during 2015 could have unpredictable
effects for profitability that are at the time difficult to estimate. Currently
USD currency position is not hedged, and company decides hedging of USD based
contracts case by case.
Utilization of the company´s patent portfolio may have significant positive
and/or negative impacts.
Principles and organization of risk management of SSH Communications Security
can be read from company´s webpage: www.ssh.com.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
In 2015, SSH Communications Security estimates its revenue to grow
significantly from 2014.
