Comptel - Interim report (Q1 and Q3)
INTERIM REPORT OF COMPTEL CORPORATION 1 JANUARY - 31 MARCH 2009
COMPTEL Stock exchange release 29 April 2009 at 8.00 am INTERIM REPORT OF COMPTEL CORPORATION 1 JANUARY - 31 MARCH 2009 First quarter result loss-making due to low net sales. Order backlog grew. Net sales EUR 17.1 million (January-March 2008: 19.5) Operating loss EUR 3.2 million (operating profit 3.9) Operating loss excluding one-off items EUR 1.3 million (operating profit 3.9) Earnings per share EUR -0.03 (0.02) Order backlog EUR 37.6 million (33.1) It is estimated that net sales will decline slightly in 2009 due to the low net sales in the first quarter. Operating profit is forecasted not to reach the previous year's level. The cost savings related to personnel reductions will have an impact starting from the second quarter of the year. Sami Erviö, President and CEO: ”The first quarter was a challenging one for Comptel. The global economic recession weakened the performance from the previous year and our operative result was loss-making. Although we started to reduce our cost base in January, the personnel reductions will start to have an impact only in the second quarter of the year. On the contrary, the significant one-off items related to personnel reductions burdened the first quarter result. In January-March, we sold new core licenses in all our regions, a total of six. Our order backlog remained strong. The first quarter result was weak, but the current order backlog and demand set basis for a stronger performance during rest of the year. We accomplished the organisational change by combining the European sales and customer service units and by establishing a unit concentrating on Alliances and Sales Development and a unit for Strategic Marketing.” Business Review of the First Quarter 2009 Net sales of Comptel Group decreased by 12.2 per cent from the previous year and were EUR 17.1 million (19.5). Decelerating of the markets and getting the new orders mainly at the end of review period impaired the net sales. The Group incurred an operating loss of EUR 3.2 million (operating profit 3.9). The operating loss includes one-off items of EUR 1.9 million related to personnel reductions. The operating loss was 18.7 per cent of the net sales (operating profit margin 19.8). The order backlog was EUR 37.6 million. Compared to the previous year, the order backlog grew by 13.5 per cent due to an increase of change requests and maintenance contracts. In January-February, Comptel was engaged in personnel negotiations. As a result of these negotiations the company decided to make 68 people redundant. With these measures the Group will reach annual cost savings of approximately EUR 7 million out of which EUR 2 million are estimated to be realised in 2009. By reducing costs and renewing the organisation structure Comptel aims to ensure the Group's long-term profitability and competitiveness.

In the previous year, the dividends of EUR 6.4 million were paid during the second quarter. Trade receivables at the end of the review period were EUR 28.0 million (23.6). The lengthening of payment time increased trade receivables. However, the risk for bad debts is not estimated to have increased significantly. The Group had EUR 10.0 million of interest-bearing debt at the end of the review period (0.0). Comptel Corporation has in force a revolving credit facility of EUR 15.0 million maturing in 2013, of which EUR 5.0 million is still available for withdrawal.

KPMG Oy Ab continues as the auditors of Comptel, Mr Pekka Pajamo (APA) being the principal auditor. The Annual General Meeting decided to issue stock options to the key personnel of the Comptel Group and granted the Board of Directors authorisations to repurchase Comptel's own shares and to decide on share issues. A separate stock exchange release about the authorisations given and other decisions made by the Annual General Meeting was published on 16 March 2009. Comptel developed further its organisational structure in January 2009 by combining the European sales and customer service units and by establishing a unit concentrating on Alliances and Sales Development and a unit for Strategic Marketing. The new organisation completes the organisational change implemented in the beginning of 2008, which moved business management close to the customers and combined the product units. From the beginning of 2009, the Corporate Executives are Mr Sami Erviö, President and CEO, the business area leaders Mr Harri Palviainen (Europe), Mr Youssef Kermoury (Middle East and Africa), Mr Mika Korpinen (Asia-Pacific) and Mr Ricardo Carreon (Americas), Mr Minesh Patel responsible for Alliances and Sales Development, Ms Arnhild Schia responsible for Strategic Marketing, Mr Simo Sääskilahti responsible for Products and Solutions, Mr Gareth Senior, CTO, Mr Veli Matti Salmenkylä, CFO responsible for Administration, Ms Niina Pesonen, responsible for Human Resources, and Mr Markku Järvenpää responsible for Global Operations Support. The employment contract of CFO Veli Matti Salmenkylä terminated on 15 March 2009. Mr Markku Pirskanen, M.Sc. (Econ), was nominated as the new CFO of Comptel Corporation as of 20 April 2009. In January 2009, the Board of Directors of Comptel Corporation approved a new share-based incentive plan for the key personnel of Comptel Group. The aim of the plan is to combine the objectives of the shareholders and the key personnel in order to increase the value of the company, to commit the key personnel to the company, and to offer them a competitive reward plan based on holding the company shares. Near-term Risks and Uncertainties The weakening of world economy combined with an exceptional fluctuation in exchange rates has led to a strong decrease in demand in many industries. The weakening of Operations Support System markets may continue in Europe and in the North America, and deceleration of the markets can expand also in other regions. Comptel develops dynamic end-to-end solutions for leading operators 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. Failure to identify market conditions, address customers' needs and develop its products in a timely way may significantly undermine Comptel's business and profitability. Comptel operates globally 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 Norwegian krone affect the company's net sales, expenses and net profit. The application submitted by Comptel to prevent double taxation is still pending with the Ministry of Finance. The company believes the treatment of its withholding taxation will be changed also concerning the countries where the issue is still unsolved. However, double taxation may have an adverse impact on the company's earnings per share. Outlook The worldwide economic situation has raised uncertainty and weakened the visibility also in the global Operations Support System markets. The weakening of markets especially in Europe since the latter part of last year seems to have diminished and recently it has appeared signs of stabilising markets and improving visibility. The company's order backlog has remained at a higher level than in the previous year. Due to low net sales in the first quarter, it is estimated that Comptel's net sales will decline slightly in 2009. Comptel's operating profit is estimated not to reach the previous year's level. The cost savings related to personnel reductions will have an impact starting from the second quarter of the year.

Application of new or amended standards and interpretations On 1 January 2009 the Group adopted the following new and amended standards and interpretations endorsed by the EU and that are applicable to Comptel: IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (revised 2007). The amendments have mainly changed the presentation format of the income statement and the statement of changes in equity. IFRS 8 Operating Segments. Under IFRS 8 identification of segments is based on the reporting used for internal reporting purposes to the top management. IFRS 8 has not changed the reportable segments of the Comptel Group. IFRS 2 Sharebased Payment - Vesting conditions and Cancellations. The amended standard requires all non-vesting conditions to be taken into account when determining the fair value of the equity instruments granted. The amendment has not had any impact on the interim report of Comptel. Improvements to IFRSs (Annual Improvements 2007). The amendments to the standards have not had significant impact on the interim report of Comptel. 2. Segment information IFRS 8 Operating Segments standard became effective on 1 January 2009. According to the standard operating segment information must be based on management reporting and accounting principles followed therein. Comptel Group's operating segment reporting is conforming to IFRS standards. Adoption of IFRS 8 Operating Segments did not change the reported operating segments or items allocated or not allocated to the segments of Comptel Group, or the definitions of such items. The assessment of the operating results and resource allocation is based on the operating profit or loss of the segment in Comptel Group. The President and CEO of Comptel Group is ultimately responsible for these decisions.

Business combinations On 21 April 2008, Comptel Corporation acquired all the shares of Axiom Systems Holdings Limited. The purchase price was GBP 7.0 million (EUR 8.9 million). During the first quarter 2009, the purchase price has been adjusted to GBP 6.8 million (EUR 8.6 million). 4. Income tax expense Tax rate according to the statement of comprehensive income for the period was -6.7% (42.2%). In 2006 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 issue has been transferred to the Ministry of Finance. The Ministry of Finance has now come to an agreement with Greece, Malaysia and Romania. Relating to these countries, Comptel has booked EUR 725 thousand tax receivables. For other countries the issue of double taxation remains to be decided by the Ministry of Finance. Comptel believes the treatment of its withholding taxation will be changed. According to the Board of Adjustment's decision currently in force, Comptel Corporation has expensed taxes withheld at source amounting to EUR 193 thousand in January - March (EUR 528 thousand). 5.
