TELESTE CORPORATION INTERIM REPORT 1 JAN TO 30 JUN 2014 

INCREASED ORDERS RECEIVED AND NET SALES, INVESTMENTS INTO SERVICES BUSINESS LOWERED PROFITABILITY

 

Second quarter of 2014
– Net sales amounted to EUR 49.4 (46.5) million, an increase of 6.3%
– Operating profit stood at EUR 1.4 (1.7) million, a decrease of 20.4% 
– Undiluted earnings per share stood at EUR 0.05 (EUR 0.07)
– Orders received totalled EUR 50.3 (44.2) million, an increase of 13.8%
– Cash flow from operations was EUR 0.3 (4.1) million, a decrease of 92.5%   

 

Outlook for 2014

We estimate that net sales and operating profit for the year 2014 will not reach the 2013 level.

 

Comments on second quarter of 2014 by CEO Jukka Rinnevaara:

“Demand for Video and Broadband Solutions was good and orders received increased significantly over the comparative period. We managed to increase net sales more than expected, especially in optical products and headends of access networks. Growing areas of the market included particularly Germany, France and the UK. Nevertheless operating profit failed to reach the level of the reference period mainly due to the shift in sales towards lower-margin products.

As for Network Services, we continued to implement structural changes and investments designed to improve profitability and business expansion in Germany and the UK. These investments for growth and restructuring costs reduced the profitability of our services business. As for the new services business, we expect net sales and profitability to improve right in the latter part of the year.”

Operating profit stood at EUR 1.8 (2.3) million making 6.8% (9.0%) of net sales. This decline in the operating profit percentage was primarily due to lower volume of sales of the video surveillance solutions over the period of comparison.

Most of the R&D projects included further development of the product families in production and customer-specific projects. Capitalized R&D expenses amounted to EUR 0.3 (0.3) million.

Network Services in April to June 2014

EBIT % -2.0% -2.7%

Net sales increased primarily in Germany, where the comparative period’s net sales were lower than average. Operating result was a loss standing at EUR -0.5 (-0.6) million, or -2.0% (-2.7%) of net sales. This operating loss was caused by custom-specific rearrangements and increases made in the installation capacity for future growth in Germany, as well as investments aimed at business expansion in the UK. These changes will allow for improved profitability and expansion of business in the rest of the year.

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 favourable 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, Teleste’s 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 1 April 2014 confirmed the financial statements for 2013 and discharged the Board of Directors and the CEO from liability for the financial period. The AGM confirmed the dividend of EUR 0.19 per share proposed by the Board. The dividend was paid out on 11 April 2014.

Ms. Marjo Miettinen, Mr. Pertti Ervi, Ms. Jannica Fagerholm, Mr. Esa Harju, Mr. Kai Telanne and Mr. Petteri Walldén continue in Teleste’s Board of Directors. Ms. Marjo Miettinen was elected Chair of the Board in the organizational meeting held immediately after the AGM.

On 1 April 2014, the Annual General Meeting decided on the following authorizations of the Board of Directors:

– Purchases of own shares: maximum of 1,200,000 shares. This authorization is valid for 18 months from the date of the decision.  
– Issue of new shares: maximum of 4,000,000 shares, valid for three years from the date of the decision.
– Disposal of own shares in possession: maximum of 1,800,000 shares, valid for three years from the date of the decision. 
– Based on the special rights granted by the Company, the number of shares to subscribe may not exceed 2,500,000 shares; these special rights are included in the maximum warrants concerning new shares and the Group’s own shares mentioned above. This authorization will be valid for three years from the date of the decision.

 

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. New products in line with communication standard Docsis 3.1 will enable network operators to activate their investments in the rest 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 profitability of Video and Broadband Solutions to improve compared to the first 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. We estimate the demand for comprehensive network services in our key target markets to continue at par with the comparative year and the profitability to improve compared to the first half of the year.

We estimate that net sales and operating profit for the year 2014 will not reach the 2013 level.
