TELESTE CORPORATION  INTERIM REPORT  25 APRIL 2013  AT 08:30



TELESTE CORPORATION INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY TO 31 MARCH 2013



YEAR-ON-YEAR DEMAND ON LOWER LEVEL AS EXPECTED, OUTLOOK UNCHANGED

Q1 of 2013
- Net sales amounted to EUR 45.8 (51.1) million, a decrease of 10.5%
- Operating profit stood at EUR 2.6 (2.9) million, a decrease of 11.4%
- Undiluted result per share was EUR 0.10 (0.12) per share, a decrease of 14.6%
- Orders received totaled EUR 43.4 (49.1) million, a decrease of 11.7%
- Operating cash flow was EUR 0.2 (5.0) million



Outlook for 2013

We expect net sales and operating profit for 2013 to reach the 2012 level. In
our assessment, net sales and operating profit for the first half of 2013 will
remain below the comparative period. 



Comments on Q1 of 2013 by CEO Jukka Rinnevaara:"As estimated in our 2012 financial statement release, net sales and orders
received for the first quarter fell short of the comparative period. The
productivity improvement and adaptation measures launched in 2012 ensured a
reasonable operating profit. 

In our estimate, the falling below the comparative period of Video and
Broadband Solutions' net sales was brought about by variation in timing of the
investments required for the growth in the operators' network capacity.
Deliveries and orders received of the reference period were affected by the
major sporting events in the summer of 2012. Video surveillance deliveries were
on good level. Deliveries of video surveillance solutions for the Chicago
Transit Authority (CTA) proceeded according to plan. 

The decrease in Network Services' net sales was due to a drop in demand for the
German Internet connectivity and the cold winter, which prevented the
installation of fiber-optic projects in particular. 

After the first quarter, on 8 April 2013, we acquired the share capital of the
UK based Asheridge companies. This acquisition complements the offering of
passive products and house network equipment by Video and Broadband Solutions,
strengthens our market position as well as provides Teleste with specific
technology required to eliminate disturbances in cable networks. The
acquisition does not yet have a significant impact on our 2013 net sales and
profitability.”

In the first quarter, orders received by the Group totaled EUR 43.4 (49.1)
million, which is 11.7% below the reference period. Order backlog totaled EUR
14.6 (19.2) million. 

Net sales amounted to EUR 45.8 (51.1) million, which is 10.5% below the
comparable period. Compared to the same period in the previous year, operating
profit decreased by 11.4% standing at EUR 2.6 (2.9) million, which is 5.7%
(5.7%) of the net sales. Wages and salaries stood at EUR 14.4 (EUR 15.1)
million. Undiluted result per share was EUR 0.10 (0.12). Operating cash flow
stood at EUR 0.2 (5.0) million. This reduction in cash flow was due to a
decrease in non-interest bearing liabilities and weakened cycle time of
accounts receivable. 



Video and Broadband Solutions in January to March 2013

Economic Development of Video and Broadband Solutions

                     1-3/2013  1-3/2012  Change %  1-12/2012

Operating Profit, %     10.2%      9.2%                 8.4%

Orders received amounted to EUR 21.4 (26.4) million, which is 18.8% below the
comparable period. Order backlog totaled EUR 14.6 (19.2) million. Net sales
decreased by 13.4% to EUR 23.8 (27.5) million. This decrease in net sales and
orders received was due to variation in the timing of network investments.
Operating profit stood at EUR 2.4 (2.5) million making 10.2% (9.2%) of the net
sales. This relative improvement in the operating profit was brought about by
improvement in materials margin and cost adjustments. 

R&D expenses were 2.4 (2.8) million, i.e. 10.1% (10.2%) of the business area's
net sales. Activated R&D expenses amounted to EUR 0.3 (0.3) million. Most of
the projects involved further development of product families in production and
customer-specific projects. Depreciation on R&D amounted to EUR 0.7 (0.5)
million. 



Network Services in January to March 2013

Economic Development of Network Services

                     1-3/2013  1-3/2012  Change %  1-12/2012

Operating Profit, %      0.8%      1.7%                 2.6%

Orders received for the first quarter totaled EUR 21.9 (22.7) million, which is
3.5% below the comparable period. Net sales decreased by 7.1% to EUR 21.9
(23.6) million. This fall in net sales was caused by a drop in demand for the
German Internet connectivity and the cold winter, which prevented the
installation of fiber-optic projects. Operating profit stood at EUR 0.2 (0.4)
million making 0.8% (1.7%) of the net sales. This year-on-year decline in the
operating profit was due to a decrease in net sales. 



Personnel and Organization in January to March 2013

In the period under review, the Group had an annual average of 1,335 people
(1,316/2012, 1,252/2011), of whom 536 (560) were employed by Video and
Broadband Solutions, and 799 (756) by Network Services. At the end of the
review period, the Group had 1,342 (1,321/2012, 1,266/2011) people, of whom 73%
(72%/2012, 70%/2011) were working outside Finland. Employees stationed outside
Europe accounted for less than 5% of the Group's personnel. 

In the last quarter of 2012 Teleste Corporation initiated codetermination
negotiations. In December 2012, the number of employees in Finland was adjusted
by a rotating temporary layoff. This rotating temporary layoff agreed in the
codetermination procedures can be extended until March 2014. 

Wages and salaries decreased by 4.3% over the previous year and amounted to EUR
14.4 (15.1/2012, 12.5/2011) million. This decrease was due to the adjustment
measures in the Video and Broadband Solutions business area. Wages and salaries
for Network Services remained on the level of comparative period. 

Investments and Product Development in January to March 2013

Investments by the Group for the period under review totaled EUR 0.6 (1.4)
million accounting for 1.3% (2.7%) of the net sales. Investments in product
development equaled EUR 0.3 (0.3) million. Investments of EUR 0.1 (0.6) million
were made under financial lease arrangements. 

Financing and Capital Structure in January to March 2013

Operating cash flow stood at EUR 0.2 (5.0) million. This decrease in cash flow
from operations was due to reduction in non-interest bearing short-term debt,
as well as slowing down in the cycle time of accounts receivable. At the end of
the period under review, the amount of unused binding stand-by credits amounted
to EUR 19.0 (10.5) million. The credit limits are valid until August 2015. 

The Group's equity ratio equaled 52.2% (43.5%) and net gearing 17.8% (23.8%).
Interest bearing debt on 31 March 2013 stood at EUR 22.0 (30.7) million. 

Key Risks Faced 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 tight financial market in Europe 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.
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 their 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. 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 skill levels 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 risky. 

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 and their probability are reported to the Board in conjunction
with regular monthly reports. 

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 risks materialized,
and no such legal proceedings or judicial procedures were pending that would
have had any essential significance for the Group operation. 

Group Structure

Parent company Teleste has branch offices in Australia, the Netherlands, and
Denmark with subsidiaries in 12 countries outside Finland. On account of
financial arrangements, Teleste Management Oy, established in March 2010, and
Teleste Management II Oy, established in December 2011, have been consolidated
into Teleste Corporation's figures. Teleste Incentive Oy has been merged with
Teleste Corporation. In Belgium, the company structure was streamlined. 

Shares and Changes in Share Capital

On 31 March 2013, EM Group Oy was the largest single shareholder with a holding
of 23.44%. 

In the period under review, the lowest company share price was EUR 3.88 (3.04)
and the highest was EUR 4.47 (4.44). Closing price on 31 March 2013 stood at
EUR 3.92 (4.20). According to Euroclear Finland Ltd the number of shareholders
at the end of the period under review was 5,245 (5,089). Foreign ownership
accounted for 5.9% (8.2%). From 1 January to 31 March 2013, trading with
Teleste share at NASDAQ OMX Helsinki amounted to EUR 3.5 (2.2) million. In the
period under review, 0.8 (0.6) million Teleste shares were traded on the stock
exchange. 

At the end of March 2013, the Group held 1,302,985 of its own shares, of which
the parent company Teleste Corporation had 379,985 shares and the controlled
companies had 923,000 shares, respectively. At the end of the period, the
Group's holding of the total amount of shares amounted to 6.96% (6.96%). 

On 31 March 2013, the registered share capital of Teleste stood at EUR
6,966,932.80 divided in 18,728,590 shares. 

Trading with stock options 2007B and 2007C began on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd
on 2 April 2012. These options allow subscription for a maximum of 560,000
shares in the company. 

Valid authorizations at the end of the review period:
- Authorization to purchase own shares: 1,400,000
- Disposal of own shares: 1,779,985, valid until the 2014 Annual General Meeting
- Issue of new shares: 5,000,000, 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. 
The Board has not used the authorizations.

Events after the End of the Period

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. Jannica Fagerholm was
elected new member of the Board of Directors. Pertti Raatikainen's membership
of the Board of Directors ended. Ms. Marjo Miettinen was elected Chair of the
Board in the organizational meeting held immediately after the AGM. 

Authorized Public Accountants KPMG Oy Ab continue 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. 

The Annual General Meeting authorized the Board to acquire by the 2014 Annual
General Meeting the maximum of 1,400,000 of the Company's own shares. 

On 8 April 2013, Teleste acquired the entire share capital of Asheridge
companies, a provider of access network equipment for cable operators. The
impact of the acquisition on Teleste's net sales in 2013 is estimated to be
around five million euros, but the impact on Teleste's equity ratio and
profitability is not significant during the current fiscal year. This
acquisition increases the number of Teleste personnel by approximately 23. The
relevant acquisition cost calculation will be presented in the 2013 second
interim report. 

Outlook for 2013

Given the new video services offered by the operators, there is a continuous
need for increased cable network capacity, so we estimate the deliveries by
Video and Broadband Solutions in our target markets to reach at least the 2012
level. In our view, investments by cable operators will be given more weight
during the second half of the year. 

We estimate that Network Services' net sales in our target markets will reach
at least the 2012 level and that the profitability will improve from the 2012
level with the developments in productivity. 

We expect net sales and operating profit for 2013 to reach the 2012 level. In
our assessment, net sales and operating profit for the first half of 2013 will
remain below the comparative period.
