The Digia Group recorded a solid performance during the review period, with net
sales growing and operating profit improving in both segments. Year-on-year
consolidated net sales growth was 10.2 per cent in the review period and 13.0
per cent in the third quarter. 

With a net sales increase of 34.3 per cent during the review period and 34.9
per cent during the third quarter, the Qt segment showed particularly strong
growth. Qt's growth was considerably fuelled by the strengthening of the US
dollar against the euro. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rate changes,
Qt's net sales growth amounted to 24.4 per cent in the review period. 

Similarly, in the domestic segment net sales developed favourably towards the
end of the period. Net sales grew by 3.8 per cent in the review period and 6.5
per cent in the third quarter from the comparison period last year. 

Consolidated operating profit showed a marked improvement in the wake of net
sales growth. Operating profit improved, particularly in the Qt segment which
began to turn a profit during the review period and continued to do so
throughout the period. The domestic segment was also able to improve its
operating profit from last year's comparison figures. The profitability of the
domestic business rose to a healthy level in the third quarter, reaching 10.4
per cent. 

Digia expects overall demand to remain moderate in the domestic segment and
anticipates continued growth towards the year-end. Profitability in the
domestic segment is expected to remain at a healthy level, or close, throughout
the second half of 2015. 

Digia anticipates continued growth in the Qt business throughout 2015, with
profitability on a positive curve compared to the previous year's figures. 

Overall, Digia expects a clear full-year improvement in both net sales and
operating profit from the previous year's level.

MARKETS AND DIGIA'S BUSINESS OPERATIONS

DOMESTIC SEGMENT:

Demand remained strong for integration and analytics services during the review
period. Investments to enhance delivery and service capacity continued, and are
expected to bolster net sales development in the future. The availability of
skilled workforce is affecting the growth opportunities of the service business
in the medium term, which is why Digia will make further investments in
personnel training and recruitment. Meanwhile, continued investments in the
development of product and business models for site optimisation taxed the
segment's overall profitability. 

On the whole, the ERP and MES business showed favourable development during the
review period, despite the seasonal fluctuations which are typical in this
business area. Strong growth of the Microsoft technologies based solutions
business continued in the third quarter, with a high profitability level.
Similarly, the Microsoft technology based ERP business, which took an upward
turn in the second quarter, showed continued growth in the third quarter. Net
sales from ERP business based on Digia's own software fell at the end of the
period, bringing the full-period net sales on a par with the previous year's
level. 

Demand for solutions for the financial sector remained healthy, and the
development of new services for the sector in the Finnish and Swedish markets
has progressed according to plan. 

In the service business, demand and profitability showed a positive performance
trend towards the end of the period. 



QT SEGMENT:

Qt business showed very strong growth throughout the period. Operating profit
also improved on the back of net sales growth, and the business was profitable. 

During the review period, the new Qt 5.5 version was launched. The www.qt.io
website launched for the Qt segment has been well received. This website plays
an extremely important role in managing the Qt ecosystem, and Digia will
continue to make substantial developments in this channel. 

Measures to enhance sales were taken during the review period, particularly in
Asia. A new office was opened in Korea. Business development efforts were
particularly focused on consumer electronics and automotive segments. 



NET SALES

Digia's consolidated net sales for the period totalled EUR 77.3 (70.2) million,
representing an increase of 10.2 per cent year-on-year. 

Net sales in the domestic segment rose by 3.8 per cent to EUR 57.8 (55.6)
million. Net sales in the Qt segment totalled EUR 19.6 (14.6) million,
representing an increase of 34.3 per cent. 

The increase in the Group's net sales could be largely attributed to the Qt
segment's strong growth. This growth in the Qt segment stemmed from good sales
combined with major contracts in automotive products and DTV receivers in
particular. Favourable trends in net sales were also supported by the US dollar
strengthening against the euro. The impact of exchange rate fluctuations on
Qt's net sales growth amounted to a total of EUR 1.4 million during the review
period. 

During the reporting period, the product business accounted for EUR 33.3
million (1-9/2014: EUR 29.1 million), or 43.1 (41.4) per cent of consolidated
net sales. 

International operations accounted for EUR 20.2 million (1-9/2014: EUR 14.5
million), or 26.1 (20.6) per cent of consolidated net sales. 

Digia's consolidated net sales for the third quarter were EUR 24.6 (21.7)
million, up 13.0 per cent on the same period last year. 

Net sales from the domestic segment increased by 6.5 per cent to EUR 17.9
(16.8) million, while net sales from the Qt business increased by 34.9 per cent
to EUR 6.7 (4.9) million. 

During the quarter, the product business accounted for EUR 11.5 (9.2) million,
or 46.9 (42.4) per cent of consolidated net sales. 

International operations accounted for EUR 6.8 (5.0) million, or 27.9 (23.0)
per cent, of consolidated net sales in Q3. 



PROFIT PERFORMANCE AND PROFITABILITY

Digia's consolidated operating profit before extraordinary items was EUR 6.2
(2.0) million. Profitability (EBIT%) before extraordinary items was 8.0 (2.9)
per cent. 

Consolidated operating profit before extraordinary items in the third quarter
was EUR 2.5 (0.9) million, up 193.5 per cent year-on-year. 

Consolidated operating profit after extraordinary items was EUR 5.5 (2.0)
million for the review period. Profitability (EBIT%) stood at 7.1 (2.9) per
cent. 

Operating profit after extraordinary items amounted to EUR 2.5 (0.9) million in
the third quarter, with profitability (EBIT%) at 10.2 (3.9) per cent. 

In the domestic segment, operating profit before extraordinary items totalled
EUR 4.4 (3.6) million, up 22.7 per cent, with profitability (EBIT%) at 7.7
(6.5) per cent. Operating profit after extraordinary items was EUR 3.8 (3.6)
million and profitability (EBIT%) 6.6 (6.5) per cent. 

Operating profit from domestic operations in the third quarter grew by 55.8 per
cent to EUR 1.9 (1.2) million, and profitability (EBIT%) was 10.4 (7.1) per
cent. 

The Qt segment recorded an operating profit of EUR 1.7 (-1.6) million before
extraordinary items with profitability (EBIT%) at 8.9 (-11.1) per cent. Qt's
operating profit after extraordinary items for the review period was EUR 1.7
(-1.6) million and profitability (EBIT%) was 8.7 (-11.1) per cent. 

Qt's operating profit for the third quarter was EUR 0.6 (-0.3) million and
profitability (EBIT%) was 9.2 (-6.9) per cent. 

The increase in consolidated operating profit during the review period could be
largely attributed to Qt's significant net sales growth and the resulting major
profitability improvement in the Qt segment. 

Consolidated earnings before tax for the period totalled EUR 5.0 (1.5) million,
and profit after tax was EUR 3.8 (1.2) million. Consolidated earnings before
tax for the third quarter were EUR 2.5 (0.5) million, and net profit EUR 1.9
(0.5) million. 

Consolidated earnings per share for the review period were EUR 0.21 (1-9/2014:
0.06) before extraordinary items and EUR 0.18 (0.06) after extraordinary items.

0.02) before extraordinary items and EUR 0.09 (0.02) after extraordinary items. 

The Group's net financial expenses for the review period were EUR 0.5 (0.5)
million and for the third quarter EUR 0.1 (0.3) million.

Consolidated net cash flow from operating activities for the period was EUR 1.9
million (1-9/2014: EUR -3.6 million). Cash flow from investments for the period
was negative by EUR 1.4 million (1-9/2014: negative by EUR 0.9 million). Cash
flow from finance for the period was negative by EUR 2.3 million (1-9/2014
positive by EUR 1.0 million). 

The Group's investments in fixed assets during the period totalled EUR 1.3
(0.8) million. 

Return on investment (ROI) for the period was 15.0 (5.6) per cent, and return
on equity (ROE) was 13.3 (4.4) per cent.

of the 2014 fiscal year (12/2014: 932 employees). During the review period, the
number of employees averaged 929, a decrease of 6 employees, or -0.6 per cent,
on the 2014 average (2014: 935).

Domestic segment               76%
----------------------------------
Qt segment                     19%
----------------------------------

----------------------------------



At the end of the period, 135 (12/2014: 146) employees were working abroad.

The Digia Plc Annual General Meeting of 12 March 2015 re-elected Päivi
Hokkanen, Robert Ingman, Pertti Kyttälä, Seppo Ruotsalainen, Leena Saarinen and
Tommi Uhari as members of the Board. Kai Öistämö was elected as a new member.
At the Board's organisation meeting, Pertti Kyttälä was elected Chairman of the
Board and Robert Ingman was elected Vice Chairman. 

Juha Varelius has been Digia Plc's President and CEO since 1 January 2008.

On 12 March 2015, KMPG Oy Ab, Authorised Public Accountants, was elected as the
Group's new auditor with Authorised Public Accountant Virpi Halonen as the
principal auditor. 



RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Digia's short-term business risks and uncertainties have been described in the
2014 Financial Statements and remain unchanged. 

Risks and risk management are also described on the company's website:
www.digia.com. 



FUTURE PROSPECTS

Digia expects overall demand to remain moderate in the domestic segment and
anticipates continued growth towards the year-end. To fully tap into the growth
potential, Digia will invest in personnel training and recruitment.
Profitability in the domestic segment is expected to remain at a healthy level,
or close, throughout the second half of 2015. 

The Qt segment will be placing a strong focus on sales development, thereby
creating the potential for further growth. The company will continue to
introduce changes to open source code licensing in forthcoming versions of its
Qt software. These changes seek to promote licence sales to commercial players. 

Considering the time of year and general market situation, demand for the Qt
segment's services is at a moderate level, and the company also expects to see
continued growth in demand in this major customer segment. However, contract
turnaround times in these markets are very long, typically around 6-18 months,
which can cause significant fluctuation in quarterly net sales and in
profitability in particular. 

Business development efforts will particularly focus on embedded systems in
automotive, digital TV and DTV receivers. Areas targeted in product development
include value-added features and tools required for building embedded systems. 

Sales growth associated with embedded systems will also reflect on the earnings
logic. Licence revenue from these sales accumulates over the long term as
opposed to one-off licence payments. 

Digia anticipates continued growth in the Qt business throughout 2015, with
profitability on a positive curve compared to the previous year's figures. 

Overall, Digia expects a clear full-year improvement in both net sales and
operating profit from the previous year's level. 



OTHER MAJOR EVENTS OF THE REVIEW PERIOD

Digia Plc's Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held on 12 March 2015. The AGM
adopted the financial statements for 2014, released the Board members and the
CEO from liability, determined Board and auditor fees, resolved to keep the
number of Board members at seven (7), elected the company's Board of Directors
for a new term, and elected a new auditor. 

With regard to profit distribution for 2014, the AGM approved the Board's
proposal to pay a dividend of EUR 0.05 per share to all shareholders listed in
the shareholder register maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd on the
reconciliation date of 16 March 2015. The dividend payment date was 23 March
2015. 

The AGM granted the following authorisations to the Board:

Authorisation of the Board of Directors to decide on buying back own shares
and/or accepting them as collateral 

The AGM authorised the Board to decide on the buyback and/or acceptance as
collateral of no more than 2,000,000 shares in the company. This buyback can
only be executed by means of the company's unrestricted equity. The Board shall
decide on how these shares are to be bought. Own shares may be bought back in
disproportion to the holdings of the shareholders. The authorisation also
includes acquisition of shares through public trading organised by NASDAQ OMX
Helsinki Oy in accordance with the rules and instructions of NASDAQ OMX
Helsinki and Euroclear Finland Ltd, or through offers made to shareholders.
Shares may be acquired in order to improve the company's capital structure, to
fund acquisitions or other business transactions, for offering share-based
incentive schemes, to sell on, or to be annulled. The shares must be acquired
at the market price in public trading. This authorisation supersedes that
granted by the AGM of 11 March 2014 and is valid for 18 months, i.e. until 12
September 2016. 

Authorising the Board of Directors to decide on a share issue and granting of
special rights 

The AGM authorised the Board to decide on an ordinary or bonus issue of shares
and the granting of special rights (as defined in Section 1, Chapter 10 of the
Limited Liability Companies Act) in one or more instalments, as follows: The
issue may total 4,000,000 shares at a maximum. The authorisation applies both
to new shares and to treasury shares held by the company. By virtue of the
authorisation, the Board has the right to decide on share issues and the
granting of special rights, in deviation from the pre-emptive subscription
rights of the shareholders (a directed issue). The authorisation may be used to
fund or complete acquisitions or other business transactions, for offering
share-based incentive schemes, to develop the company's capital structure, or
for other purposes. The Board was authorised to decide on all terms related to
the share issue or special rights, including the subscription price, its
payment in cash or (partly or wholly) in capital contributed in kind or its
being written off against the subscriber's receivables, and its recognition in
the company's balance sheet. This authorisation supersedes that granted by the
AGM of 11 March 2014 and is valid for 18 months, i.e. until 12 September 2016. 

Digia explores possibilities of a spin-off to form two distinct listed companies

On 28 August 2015, Digia Plc announced that its Board of Directors had decided
to explore a possible spin-off that would separate its domestic and Qt
businesses and create two distinct companies, with identical ownership, listed
on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki. 

The purpose of the arrangement would be to enable both businesses to focus on
maximising their respective business opportunities in line with their strategy
and creating further added value for shareholders. 

The aim is to implement the arrangement during 2016, once the analysis has been
completed. Digia may issue a separate stock exchange release on its progress in
this matter.
