Outlook for 2014

We estimate net sales and operating profit for the first half of 2014 to fall
clearly from the comparative period. Due to this, we estimate that net sales
and operating profit for the full year of 2014 will not reach the 2013 level. 



Comments on the last quarter of 2013 by CEO Jukka Rinnevaara:

“Orders received were at par with the comparative period, but focused now more
on cable network equipment and the related services. Successful deliveries in
this area led to a clear growth in net sales during the quarter, and as a
result, Teleste achieved its all-time record quarterly net sales. Performance
of the services business, being one of the Company's special development areas,
showed a pleasant improvement. 

Increased net sales and, in relative terms, decreased personnel costs raised
operating profit clearly over the period of comparison. Earnings per share
increased by 87%. 

The year-on-year net sales of Video Broadband Solutions grew, which was mainly
brought about by increased deliveries of IP headends (Luminato) and optical
product solutions. Particularly strong markets included France, Poland and the
USA. In addition, the Asheridge acquisition contributed slightly to the
increased net sales. Deliveries related to video surveillance were below the
reference period. 

The year-on-year net sales and operating profit of Network Services increased.
Net sales were increased by maintenance and upgrading of cable networks. This
growth in the operating profit was based on the development of productivity and
the cost adjustment measures carried out earlier in 2013."

flow from operations EUR 2.7 (5.1) million was less than the comparative
period, mainly due to the decrease in accounts payable.

Personnel at period-end                     1,261      1,325     -4.8%

Orders received totaled EUR 188.9 (189.7) million. Net sales decreased by 0.6%
to EUR 192.8 (193.9) million. This decline in net sales over the previous year
was caused by the lower level of the services business in the first half of the
year. Operating profit equaled EUR 11.0 (10.9) million. Operating profit of the
comparative period included a sale of a real estate and a reserve reversal of
an additional purchase price related to a business acquisition totaling EUR 1.2
million. Taxes amounted to EUR 2.5 (3.4) million and the tax rate was 23.6%
(33.7%). This decrease in tax rate was contributed by changes in the Group
structure that enabled establishing a tax group for German subsidiaries and
shifts in the geographic distribution of profits. Undiluted earnings per share
increased by 21.9% to EUR 0.47 (0.38). Cash flow from operations decreased to
EUR 10.0 (15.3) million due to a decrease in the short-term
non-interest-bearing liabilities. 

Video and Broadband Solutions October-December 2013

1,000 euros      10-12/2013  10-12/2012  Change %
Orders received      24,127      27,830    -13.3%

Year-on-year orders received decreased by 13.3% standing at EUR 24.1 (27.8)
million. Orders for the comparative period included a EUR four-million order
from the United States for an onboard video management and recording solution.
Order backlog totaled EUR 13.1 (17.0) million. Net sales grew by 13.6%
amounting to EUR 28.0 (24.7) million. This increase in net sales was promoted
by the sales of IP headends (Luminato) and optical product solutions as well as
the acquisition of Asheridge. Operating profit stood at EUR 2.4 (2.0) million
making 8.4% (8.1%) of the net sales. This improvement in the operating profit
was mainly attributed to increased net sales. 

R&D expenses were 2.9 (3.0) million, i.e. 10.4% (12.3%) of the business area's
net sales. Capitalized R&D expenses amounted to EUR 0.6 (0.3) million. The R&D
efforts focused on the next generation innovative broadband solution (Data
Access HUB), the future access network solutions (Docsis 3.1), video headend
systems (Luminato), video surveillance software development, as well as a
number of client-specific development projects. Depreciation on capitalized R&D
expenses amounted to EUR 0.3 (0.5) million.

101.7 (101.2) million. Operating profit increased by 11.3% to EUR 9.5 (8.5)
million, representing 9.3% (8.4%) of net sales. This profit performance was
affected particularly by increased deliveries of video surveillance solutions
and improved profitability of the IP headend business. Product development
expenses equaled EUR 10.0 (11.2) million, in other words 9.8% (11.2%) of net
sales. The most significant R&D efforts included the next generation innovative
broadband solution Data Access HUB, the future access network solutions Docsis
3.1, and the video surveillance software development S-VMX. Capitalized R&D
expenses stood at EUR 1.4 (0.8) million while depreciation on product
development capitalizations equaled EUR 1.8 (2.0) million. 

Network Services in October-December 2013

1,000 euros      10-12/2013  10-12/2012  Change %
Orders received      26 024      22 995     13,2%

EBIT %                 4,5%        3,1%          

In Q4, the year-on-year orders received increased by 13.2% standing at EUR 26.0
(23.0) million. Net sales grew by 14.1% amounting to EUR 26.0 (22.8) million.
This increase in net sales was mainly attributable to maintenance and upgrading
of cable networks. Operating profit stood at EUR 1.2 (0.7) million making 4.5%
(3.1%) of net sales. This improvement in operating profit was brought about by
increased net sales and a reduction in personnel costs. 

Network Services in January-December 2013

1,000 euros      1-12/2013  1-12/2012  Change %
Orders received     91 060     91 931     -0,9%
Net sales           91 060     92 645     -1,7%
EBIT                 1 587      2 439    -34,9%
EBIT %                1,7%       2,6%          

Orders received totaled EUR 91.1 (91.9) million. Net sales decreased by 1.7% to
EUR 91.1 (92.6) million. This decline in sales over the previous year was due
to a decrease in invoicing in the German fiber-optic projects. Operating profit
stood at EUR 1.6 (2.4) million making 1.7% (2.6%) of net sales. This
year-on-year weakening of operating profit was due to low sales and high human
resources in relation to demand in the first half of the year. Adjustment of
the resources was successfully completed by the beginning of second half of the
year, with the result that in Q4 the business profitability rose to a good
level. 

Personnel and Organization in January-December 2013

In the period under review, the average number of people employed by the Group
was 1,306 people (1,326/2012, 1,297/2011); of these 559 (567) were employed by
Video and Broadband Solutions, and 747 (759) by Network Services. At the end of
the review period, the Group employed 1,261 people (1,325/2012, 1,319/2011) of
whom 71% (73%/2012, 72%/2011) were stationed abroad. About 3% of the Group's
employees were working outside Europe. 

Wages, salaries and social expenses decreased by 2.7% over the previous year
and amounted to EUR 56.9 (58.5/2012, 54.6/2011) million. This reduction in
personnel costs was primarily due to a decrease in incentive expenses and a
decline in headcount. This decrease in costs was also contributed by the
partial temporary lay-off of the personnel in Finnish operations in the first
quarter. In the first quarter, the number of German services operations
personnel was reduced in line with customers' service demand. This reduction
was 85 people. 

In January 2014, temporary lay-offs were initiated involving Operations unit
personnel. Average length of these lay-offs is three weeks, and they will be
implemented before the end of Q1. These temporary lay-offs were launched within
the framework agreed earlier in the co-determination negotiations. 

Investments in January-December 2013

Investments by the Group for the period under review totaled EUR 6.3 (3.3)
million accounting for 3.3% (1.7%) of net sales. EUR 3.5 million of these
investments involved the acquisition of Asheridge. Investments in product
development equaled EUR 1.4 (0.8) million. Other investments involved
information systems and machines as well as equipment. Investments of EUR 0.1
(0.8) million were made under financial lease arrangements. 

Financing and Capital Structure in January to December 2013

Operating cash flow stood at EUR 10.0 (15.3) million. This reduction in cash
flows from operating activities was caused by the decrease in trade and other
payables. At the end of the period under review, the amount of unused binding
stand-by credits amounted to EUR 17.0 (19.0) million. Credit limits are valid
until August 2015. 

The Group's equity ratio equaled 52.7% (50.5%) and net gearing 13.8% (13.7%).
On 31 December 2013, the Group's interest-bearing debt stood at EUR 24.3 (22.1)
million. 

Key Risks by the Business Areas

Founded in 1954, Teleste is a technology and services company consisting of two
business areas: Video and Broadband Solutions and Network Services. With Europe
as the main market area, our clients include European cable operators and
specified organizations in the public sector. 

As to Video and Broadband Solutions, client-specific and integrated deliveries
of solutions create favorable conditions for growth, even if the involved
resource allocation and technical implementation pose a challenge involving,
therefore, also reasonable risks. Our customers' network investments vary based
on the relevant need for upgrading and their financial structure. Significant
part of Teleste's competition comes from the USA so the exchange rate of euro
up against the US dollar affects our competitiveness. The exchange rate
development of the Chinese renminbi to euro affects our material costs. 

The company hedges against short-term currency exposure by means of forward
contracts. The situation in the European financial markets may slow down our
customers' investment plans. Furthermore, a weakening in the consumer
purchasing power in Europe could slow down the network investments by the cable
operators. Competition increased by the new service providers (OTT) may
undermine the cable operators' ability to invest. Availability of components is
subject to natural phenomena, such as floods and earthquakes. Severe weather
conditions have an impact on the business areas' ability to deliver products
and services. Correct technological choices and their timing are vital for our
success. 

Net sales of Network Services comes, for the most part, from a small number of
large European customers, so a significant change in the demand for our
services by any one of them is reflected in the actual deliveries and
profitability. To ensure quality of services and cost-efficiency along with
efficient service process management, customer satisfaction and improvements in
productivity require innovative solutions in terms of processes, products and
logistics. Smooth operation of cable networks requires effective technical
management and functional hardware solutions in accordance with contractual
obligations. This, in turn, demands continuous and determined development of
skills and competences in Teleste's own personnel as well as those of our
subcontractors. In addition, our ability to deliver and compete may be
constrained by the adequacy of our sub-contractor network capacity. Tender
calculation and management of larger projects with overall responsibility are
complex and include risks. 

It is important for our business areas to take into account any market
developments such as consolidations taking place among the clientele and
competition. The threats to information systems must be minimized to ensure
business continuity. The Board of Directors annually reviews any essential
risks related to the company operation and their management. Risk management is
an integral part of the strategic and operational activities of the business
areas. Risks are reported to the Board on a regular basis. 

The company has covered any major risks of loss involving the business areas
through insurance policies. Insurance will also cover credit loss risks related
to sales receivables. In the period under review, no such legal proceedings or
judicial procedures were pending that would have had any essential significance
for the Group operation.

Decisions by the Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Teleste Corporation on 12 April 2013
confirmed the financial statements for 2012 and discharged the Board of
Directors and the CEO from liability for the financial period. The AGM
confirmed the dividend of EUR 0.17 per share proposed by the Board. The
dividend was paid out on 24 April 2013. 

Ms. Marjo Miettinen, Mr. Pertti Ervi, Mr. Esa Harju, Mr. Kai Telanne and Mr.
Petteri Walldén continue in Teleste's Board of Directors. Ms. Jannica Fagerholm

Chair of the Board in the organizational meeting held immediately after the
AGM. 

Authorized Public Accountants KPMG Oy Ab continues as the auditor until the
next AGM. Mr. Esa Kailiala, accountant authorized by the Central Chamber of
Commerce of Finland, was chosen auditor-in-charge. 

Valid authorizations granted by the AGM:
- Authorization to purchase own shares: 1,400,000
- Disposal of own shares: 1,779,985, valid until the 2014 Annual General Meeting

- Pursuant to the special rights granted by the company, the maximum number of
shares is 2,500,000; these special rights are included in the authorization to
issue 5,000,000 new shares. 

Outlook for 2014

Video and Broadband Solutions aim at maintaining a strong market position in
Europe and expand into selected new markets. Network capacity will continue to
increase driven by the new broadband and video services provided by the
operators. Limited product offering of the new Docsis 3.1 communications
standard may delay the network investments in the beginning of the year. Price
erosion in the market continues. The positive trend in the video surveillance
market will continue, but the public sector decisions to start projects may be
delayed in the current economic climate. We estimate the market for Video and
Broadband Solutions to fluctuate greatly during the year and the demand to be
emphasized on the second half of the year. 

The business objective of Network Services is to develop the operational
efficiency and give up any unprofitable services activities during the year.
These measures will be taken to create conditions for better business
profitability over the reference year, but these will have a slight reducing
effect on net sales. We estimate the demand for comprehensive network services
in our key target markets to continue at par with the comparative year. 

We estimate net sales and operating profit for the first half of 2014 to fall
clearly from the comparative period.Due to this, we estimate that net sales and
operating profit for the full year of 2014 will not reach the 2013 level.
