thousand.
** The percentages for the return on equity and return on investment have been
adjusted to reflect the figures for a 12-month period.
*** There are no comparison data for the corresponding review period in 2010 as
Innofactor did not draft comparable interim reports in 2010 due to the reverse
acquisition in accordance with IFRS 3.
**** In accordance with the decision of the Innofactor Plc's Annual General
Meeting on April 28, 2011, twenty old shares were consolidated into one new
share (registered in the Trade Register on May 7, 2011) and due to this, the
total number of shares decreased to 1/20 of the previous number.
Reporting
Innofactor Plc operates on one segment, offering software and systems and
services related to them, and it operates mainly in Finland. Due to this, a
segment-specific or geographical distribution of the net sales and result will
not be presented.
CEO Sami Ensio's review:
On the first quarter of the year, Innofactor's net sales grew 78.4 percent
compared to the same period last year. Large part of the growth was based on
the acquisitions in 2010 and about 14 percent of the growth was organic. The
predicted growth for the whole year is about 70 percent.
Research and development focused into new versions of old products and into
Innofactor's first cloud solutions. Research and development costs recognized
in the profit and loss statement were EUR 592 thousand (there is no comparison
figure available for the same period in 2010).
During the first quarter of the year, the relisting of Innofactor Plc was
completed. That resulted in about EUR 200 thousand of one-off costs and
required a significant amount of attention from the upper management. The
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the
first quarter was EUR 150 thousand (3.8%) and the earnings before interest and
taxes (EBIT) was EUR 19 thousand (0.5%).
On the second quarter of 2011, Innofactor will focus on improving
profitability, which will be helped by the good order backlog. During the
quarter, the consolidation of Innofactor Documenta Oy and the companies of the
Innofactor Software subgroup will be completed. In this arrangement, the
operative business of the Innofactor group was centralized into the former
Innofactor Documenta Oy (from now on, Innofactor Software Oy) as of May 1,
2011. This arrangement will decrease management costs in the future.
Additionally, special attention will be paid to unifying and improving the
methods of project management and resource allocation. There will also be
attempts to decrease other business costs. These actions have been named as the
cost-effectiveness program. We believe that the cost-effectiveness program can
be implemented without a need to decrease the number of personnel.
Market outlook and business environment
Nokia and Microsoft made an announcement on significant cooperation on February
11, 2011. Nokia's move to start using the Microsoft operating system in its
smart phones may offer Innofactor, Finland's largest software provider focused
on Microsoft solutions, significant opportunities, which may have a fundamental
effect on the growth of the group within the coming years.
Nokia's announcement on April 27, 2011, that it will transfer the Symbian
development to an external service provider, will affect the business
environment in Finland. This will bring some uncertainty factors to the
business environment, but they are not predicted to cause significant risk for
Innofactor's operation.
Innofactor will publish its new global cloud solutions in Microsoft's Worldwide
Partner Conference in Los Angeles, USA, on July 10-14, 2011. The conference is
Microsoft's largest partner event and over 10,000 Microsoft partners all over
the world will attend. Possible product launches by Innofactor and other
companies and their reception in the World Wide Conference will affect
Innofactor's position as a global provider of Microsoft cloud solutions.
Cloud solutions combined with the Windows operating system becoming more common
in mobile phones may offer Innofactor, Finland's largest software provider
focused on Microsoft solutions, significant opportunities.
On the whole, Innofactor considers the market outlook to be positive.
Also, when considering the business environment, it should be noted that
Innofactor has worked actively in Sweden to make itself better known among
Microsoft Sweden and its local partners.
