CEO Sami Paihonen:
The company has developed its business according to the strategy and due to
this the orders received from new customers have become larger compared to last
year and the content of the turnover has been renewed. The reported turnover
decreased compared to the comparison period but the turnover cleaned from the
Cloud-business that was divested in April is on the same level as it was one
year ago. During the reporting period we have won numerous new customers and
expanded our relationship with existing customers. Building customer
relationships forward is strongly taking the company into the right direction
in the change. Especially offering user research oriented digital
transformation services have been well received in different customer segments
since it forms a base for business transformation consulting that Design and
Technology are executing.
At the same time we continue to develop our new Discover, Design,
Deliver-as-a-Service business model. In this DDD-as-a-Service – model we offer
our customers flexibly different kinds of competences needed during service- or
device creation projects. This flexible model has been well received and we
continue to build customer relationships through high quality service.
According to our strategy we did during the financial period continue to focus
on selected business areas. Following this we sold early April our Cloud and
Hosting- business to Datacenter Finland. This way we are in the future able to
focus on DevOps that focuses on cloud integrations on different cloud
platforms. This is a vital part of our end-to-end offering

OTHER EVENTS DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD
Market events in the review period
The benefits of digitalization are usually tied to efficiency and cost savings.
Ixonos strive to, in addition to this, offer new creative benefits motivated by
these aspects. As an interesting finding we can therefore see that the
strategic goals of new customer projects are more focused on creating new
business that cost savings. The same trend was ruling on the company’s domestic
market in Finland. Our international R&D customers have increased their
investments into development done using user research and design.
There is a clear need for the company’s services on the market. The biggest
challenges for the customers is to commercialize the combination of design and
software- and hardware development, as well as to bring the design-led culture
into their projects. To respond to this demand, we did in March organize and
Innovation by Design event in Helsinki. The event focused on smart living and
IoT solutions related to living. Our Industrial Internet event, The Future on
Industrial Experience, was also well received in Helsinki.
Together with customers we did participate in Mobile World Congress in
February, focusing on Smart Devices and IoT. Through customer meetings we were
able to build forward the opportunities within these areas.
During the financial period we did become a member of the appreciated
Digitalist Network and bought our Friction Thinking into the development of the
network. Friction Thinking strives to find negative friction, in other words
elements that distract operations, and positive friction or elements that makes
the service or product interesting for the target group.
The best indication of what we have accomplished on the markets are the
different awards and nominations that we have received together with our
customers. During the financial period solutions that Ixonos has developed
together with its customers did receive the following awards and appreciation:
- The Viking Line Onboard customer experience won the European IF Design
Awards in Germany in the best service design category
- The multi-channel retail solution that we have developed together with
Sherri Hill was published and it was very well received on New York Fashion
Week.
Our way of combining world class design with a high quality technical execution
did gain most attention
On the IoT and Smart Devices area we did strengthen our partnerships concerning
IBM Bluemix and Watson.

bond with a capital of EUR 9,200,000.95 (“Loan”) and attached option or other
special rights referred to in Chapter 10 Section 1(2) of the Limited Liability

Tremoko by the decision of the General Meeting of the Ixonos Plc (“Company”) on
7 April, 2016. The board of directors of the Company has accepted Tremoko’s
subscription.
The Loan and attached Special Rights has been issued in order to strengthen the
Company’s working capital and reorganise the capital structure as well as lower
financing costs. Hence, there are weighty financial reasons for taking the Loan
and granting the Special Rights. The Loan’s issuing price and conversion price
have been defined on market terms.
The main terms of the Terms of the Loan and the Special Rights are the
following:
- The amount of the Loan is EUR 9,200,000.95.
- The annual interest of Euribor 6 months (at least ≥ 0 %) + 4.0 per cent
is paid on the principal of the Loan.
- The conversion option attached to the Loan entitles to a maximum amount
131,428,585 of new Company shares.

tranches of EUR 340,000.01 and additionally on 8 April 2020, the remaining
loan, altogether EUR 7,500,000.90, will be paid in a one-off payment.
Tremoko has paid the Loan and attached Special Rights in full by setting off
receivables it has from the Company, amounting to altogether EUR 9,200,000.95.
A directly enforceable guarantee
On April 28, 2016 Turret Oy Ab and Holdix Oy Ab granted a directly enforceable
guarantee (“Guarantee”) with the total amount of EUR 1.2 million to Nordea Bank
Finland Plc on behalf of Ixonos Plc’s (“Ixonos”) and Ixonos Finland Ltd’s
commitments. The Guarantee was given as a substitute to former guarantee given
by Finnvera Plc. Turret Oy Ab and Holdix Oy Ab are the owners of Tremoko Oy Ab,
which is the main owner of Ixonos.
RISK MANAGEMENT AND NEAR-FUTURE UNCERTAINTY FACTORS
Ixonos Plc’s risk management aims to ensure undisturbed continuity and
development of the company’s operations, support attainment of the commercial
targets set by the company and promote increasing company value. Details on the
risk management organisation and process as well as on recognised risks are
presented on the company’s website at www.ixonos.com.
Ixonos Plc result has been negative during the recent years despite efficiency
actions done. The negative result has direct impact on company’s sufficiency of
the working capital. The risk related to sufficient working capital is managed
by maintaining readiness for various financing methods.
Changes in key customer accounts may have adverse effects on Ixonos’
operations, earning power and financial position. Should a major customer
switch its purchases from Ixonos to its competitors or make forceful changes to
its own operating model, Ixonos would have limited ability to acquire, in the
short term, new customer volume to compensate for such changes.
The group’s turnover consists primarily of relatively short term customer
contracts. Forecasting the starting dates and scope is from time to time
challenging at the same time the cost structure is fairly rigid. This may
result in unexpected fluctuation in turnover and profitability.
The structure and content of the company’s turnover has changed. Part of the
company’s business operations is based on fixed-price project deliveries.
Fixed-price projects may include risks related to their duration and content.
These risks are being managed by means of contract management as well as
project management.
A significant part of the group’s turnover is invoiced in foreign currency.
Risks related to currency fluctuation are managed through different means.
The company’s balance sheet includes a significant amount of goodwill, which
may still be impaired should internal or external factors reduce the profit
expectations of the company’s cash flow. Goodwill is tested each quarter and,
if necessary, at other times.
The company’s financial agreements have covenants attached to them. A covenant
breach may increase the company’s financial expenses or lead to a call for
swift partial or full repayment of non-equity loans. The main risks related to
covenant breaches are associated with EBITDA fluctuation due to the market
situation and with a potential need to increase the company’s working capital
through non-equity funding. The company manages these risks by negotiating with
financiers and by maintaining readiness for various financing methods.

Accounting principles
This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 (Interim
Financial Reporting) and the accounting policies for the annual financial
statement of December 31, 2015. The IFRS amendments and interpretations that
entered into force on January 1, 2016 have not affected the consolidated
financial statements.
Preparing interim reports in accordance with IFRS requires Ixonos’ management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and
liabilities on the balance sheet date as well as the amounts of income and
expenses for the financial period. In addition, judgement must be used in
applying the accounting policies. As the estimates and assumptions are based on
views prevailing at the time of releasing the interim report, they involve
risks and uncertainty factors. Actual results may differ from estimates and
assumptions.
The figures in the income statement and balance sheet are consolidated. The
consolidated balance sheet includes all group companies as well as Ixonos
Management Invest Oy, a company owned by members of Ixonos management. The
original interim report is in Finnish. The interim report in English is a
translation of the original report.
As the figures in the report have been rounded, sums of individual figures may
differ from the sums presented. The annual report is unaudited.
Going Concern
This interim report has been prepared according to the going concern principle
taking into account the financial arrangements during the financial year
2015-2016 and financial estimations made up to the end of year 2016. The
estimations take into consideration probable or foreseeable changes in future
expectations in revenues as well as in costs.
The company’s existing working capital may not be sufficient to cover the
company’s funding needs over the next 12 months. The company estimates that its
working capital is expected to be sufficient to fund the company’s operations
over the next 12 months if the sales development is better than the current
forecast or the company is able to make larger cost savings than forecasted. A
possible financial shortage remaining can be filled among other methods with
bridge financing.
The company loan agreements related arrangement include covenants regarding
equity ratio, EBITDA and net debts/EBITDA which will be considered at the first
time on 31 December, 2016.
Goodwill impairment
Ixonos made an impairment testing for the goodwill value on the balance sheet
on March 31, 2016. The goodwill is attributed to the one cash generating unit
(CGU) starting from November 1, 2013.
The impairment test showed a surplus of EUR 10.8 million based on discounted
cash flow valuation compared to tested amount and no impairment was recognized.
The carrying amount of goodwill is EUR 12.0 million. The present value of the
cash flows calculated, EUR 29.8 million is lower than the sum of the company's
financial liabilities (EUR 12.5 million) and the market price of the shares
(EUR 21.2 million) on March 31, 2016.
The impairment test of the company is based on operative company value. The
forecasting period used in impairment testing at March 31, 2016 was Q2 2016 to
Q1 2020.
In the forecast the year 2016 is a year of stabilization with relatively small
growth. For the years 2017-2020 the company expects to reach stronger growth,
on average of 9.0 %, as digitalization will impact an ever growing part of the
business community. The forecasted EBIT level is assumed to increase to on
average of 10 %.
The impairment test is done by comparing the carrying value of assets to
present value of future cash flow taking into consideration forecasted cash
flows during the forecast period, discount factor and growth rate used in
calculating terminal value. The discount factor used is 10 % p.a. and growth
rate used in calculating terminal value is 1 % p.a. When calculating the
terminal value the weighted average EBIT % level for the period was used.
The impairment test is most sensitive besides to the cash flow forecast itself
and the assumptions behind it, to the growth rate used when calculating the
terminal value and to the discount factor. If the growth rate -23 % had been
used instead of 1 %, the tested value would have been equal to the discounted
cash flow. If the discount factor had been 21 % instead of 10 %, the tested
value would have been equal to the discounted cash flow. If the EBIT % used had
been 2 % instead of 11 %, the tested value would have been equal to the
discounted cash flow.
Loan covenants
The Company has a total amount of loans on March 31, 2016 EUR 12.5 million.
The amount of the financing loans that included covenants had a capital of EUR
5.2 million on March 31, 2016 (2015: EUR 6.0 million). The amount of the
financing loans that include covenants are after the financial period changed
so that the value is 0.7 million.
Loan agreements include covenants regarding equity ratio, EBITDA and net
debts/EBITDA which will be considered at the first time on 31 December, 2016.
Should the company not be within the limits of a covenant, the creditors are
entitled to call in the loans to which that covenant applies. The covenant
levels are reviewed semi-annually on a rolling twelve-month basis. Depending on
the point in time, the equity ratio must be 15 % – 35 %. The rolling 12 past
month EBITDA may not exceed EUR -1.0 million euros on December 31, 2016.
Depending on the point in time the ratio of interest-bearing liabilities (i.e.
interest-bearing liabilities in the balance sheet, including leasing
liabilities) to EBITDA may not exceed 3.0 -1.0 on June 30, 2017 onward. The
ratios of interest-bearing liabilities to EBITDA as well as the ratio of
interest-bearing net liabilities to EBITDA are calculated based on IFRS
principles.
On March 31, 2016 the company's equity ratio was 1.3 % (2015: 10.3 %), EBITDA
was -2.1 MEUR (2014: -1.6 MEUR) and the ratio of interest-bearing liabilities
and the EBITDA was negative (2015: negative).

issues, average
Shareholders’ equity per share = shareholders’ equity ∕ number of shares,
undiluted, on the closing date
Cash flow from operating activities, per share, diluted = net cash flow from
operating activities ∕ number of shares, adjusted for issues and dilution,
average
Return on investment = (result before taxes + interest expenses + other
financial expenses) ∕ (balance sheet total - non-interest-bearing liabilities,
average) × 100
