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 the last quarter of 2012 by CEO Jukka Rinnevaara:"Orders received stood at a satisfactory level due to the good order intake for
video surveillance solutions, but the cable operators' demand fell below the
comparable period. Teleste's net sales fell below the reference period, as
deliveries of equipment for cable operators decreased and the year-on-year
deliveries in German fiber projects declined. In spite of the implemented cost
management, the drop in net sales resulted in a reduced operating profit.
Temporary personnel layoffs were launched in the Finnish operations of Video
and Broadband Solutions designed to prepare for a quieter market early in the
year. 

Video and Broadband Solutions' net sales fell below the comparative period,
mainly due to a lower demand for the Luminato headend. Deliveries related to
video surveillance were at par with the comparative period. In the fourth
quarter, an onboard video management and recording solution order of four
million euro was received from Chicago Transit Authority (CTA). The delivery is
scheduled for 2013. A two-year frame agreement worth about two million euro for
intelligent network products was signed with the Danish Stofa A/S. 

The year-on-year net sales and operating profit of Network Services fell. This
decline in net sales and operating profit was mainly due to a reduction in
deliveries of fiber-optic projects. The start of new frame agreements also
called for an increase in resources. At the end of the period under review, a
three-year frame agreement was signed with a German telecom operator for
upgrading of networks and technical maintenance."

totaling EUR 1.2 million. Personnel costs amounted to EUR 14.8 (15.5) million.
Taxes stood at EUR 1.0 (1.1) million. Tax rate rose to 37.8% (27.9%), because a

cost. Undiluted result per share was EUR 0.09 (0.17). Operating cash flow
amounting to EUR 5.1 (4.5) million was good.

decline in the operating profit over the comparative period was caused by
decreased net sales and additional investments required for the new German

Personnel and Organization in January-December 2012

In the period under review, the Group had an annual average of 1,326 people
(1,297/2011 1,215/2010), of whom 567 (564) were employed by Video and Broadband
Solutions, and 759 (733) by Network Services. At the end of the review period,
the figure totaled 1,325 (1,319/2011, 1,231/2010) of whom 73% (72%/2011,
70%/2010) were stationed overseas. Employees stationed outside Europe accounted
for less than 5% of the Group's personnel. 

In the fourth quarter of 2012, the parent company Teleste Corporation launched
cooperation procedures together with the personnel. Adjustments in the number
of employees in Finland were initiated in December 2012 by introducing a
flexible and rotating temporary layoff. In addition, three persons were made
redundant. The rotating temporary layoff agreed in the cooperation procedures
can be extended until March 2014. 

Wages and salaries increased by 7.2% over the previous year and amounted to EUR
58.5 (54.6/ 2011, 50.8 /2010) million. This increase was mainly due to a rise
in the number of personnel of Network Services, decrease in the activation of
wage costs involving R&D, as well as union-specific contract increases. 

The number of temporary labor in the Finnish production averaged 22 (10)
people. At the end of the review period, there were no temporary employees in
Finland. Costs involving temporary labor have been entered under the material
costs. 

Investments in January-December 2012

Investments by the Group for the period under review totaled EUR 3.3 (5.2)
million accounting for 1.7% (2.9%) of the net sales. Investments in product
development equaled EUR 0.8 (2.5) million. The projects involved future product
platforms at the research stage, further development of the existing product
families, as well as short-term customer projects. Other investments involved
information systems, as well as machinery and equipment for production and
services. Investments of EUR 0.8 (0.3) million were made under financial lease
arrangements. In Finland, a piece of real property was sold with the capital
gain amounting to EUR 0.6 million. 

Financing and Capital Structure in January to December 2012

Operating cash flow stood at EUR 15.3 (2.1) million. This improved cash flow
from operations was due to a growth in profitability, a reduction in
inventories, as well as a decrease in accounts receivable. At the end of the
period under review, the amount of unused binding stand-by credits amounted to
EUR 19.0 (7.5) million. Credit limits are valid until August 2015. 

The Group's equity ratio equaled 50.5% (41.6%) and net gearing 13.7% (32.2%).
On 31 December 2012, the Group's interest bearing debt stood at EUR 22.1 (33.2)
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 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 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 the management thereof. 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 related to 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. 

Decisions by the Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Teleste Corporation held on 3 April 2012
confirmed the financial statements for 2011 and discharged the Board of
Directors and the CEO from liability for the financial period. The AGM
confirmed the dividend of EUR 0.14 per share proposed by the Board. The
dividend was paid out on 17 April 2012. 

Ms. Marjo Miettinen, Mr. Pertti Ervi, Mr. Pertti Raatikainen, Mr. Kai Telanne
and Mr. Petteri Walldén continue in Teleste's Board of Directors. Mr. Esa Harju
was elected a new member while the membership of Mr. Tero Laaksonen 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 AGM authorized the Board to acquire the maximum of 1,400,000 of the
company's own shares and to convey the maximum of 1,779,985 company's own
shares. On 8 April 2011, the AGM authorized the Board of Directors to issue
five million new shares; this authorization will be valid until the Annual
General Meeting of 2014. Pursuant to the special rights provided by the
Company, the maximum number of significant shares is 2,500,000; these special
rights are included in the authorization to issue 5,000,000 new shares. 

Shares and Changes in Share Capital

On 31 December 2012, 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 3.04 (2.50)
and the highest was EUR 4.44 (4.82). Closing price on 31 December 2012 stood at
EUR 4.17 (3.00). According to Euroclear Finland Ltd the number of shareholders
at the end of the period under review was 5,182 (5,054). Foreign ownership
accounted for 5.8% (7.76%). From 1 January to 31 December 2012, trading with
Teleste share at NASDAQ OMX Helsinki amounted to EUR 10.8 (6.2) million. In the
period under review, 2.7 (1.7) million Teleste shares were traded on the stock
exchange. 

At the end of December 2012, 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 December 2012, 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. 

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 fall on 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.
