The elements of the new strategy include separate regional and global strategies, repositioning the repeatable solutions business and a Performance Improvement Programme. Performance Improvement Programme In 2007, TietoEnator decided to expand its Profit 2007 programme, turning it into an accelerated Performance Improvement Programme with substantially higher savings targets. The actions are expected to improve TietoEnator's profitability significantly. TietoEnator estimates that the plan will generate annual cost savings of more than EUR 100 million as from the end of 2009. The benefits are expected to materialize with an over 50% run-rate effect from the end of 2008 and in full from the end of 2009. Related to the programme, TietoEnator will book restructuring costs, provisions and impairments totalling approximately EUR 160 million of which about EUR 100 million has a cash flow effect. One-off costs of EUR 104.7 million materialized in 2007. The rest will be booked during 2008 and 2009. Market development and TietoEnator's business transactions The market situation remained positive in 2007. The Nordic IT services market that is relevant to TietoEnator grew by 6-7%. Customers are investing in IT solutions that help them to launch innovative new services and boost profits. This was one of the main growth drivers. In most areas prices were either stable or slightly higher than the year before. Price pressure persists in some segments, such as infrastructure services. Coupled with increasing personnel costs, this has put pressure on margins. Personnel costs were increased not only by annual salary raises, but also by a high personnel turnover. Banking and insurance Overall demand in the financial services sector is at a healthy level, but very competitive in certain areas. Price pressure persists, partly due to offshore competition from territories such as India and Eastern Europe. Regulatory changes in the European Union are creating new demand in the payments and capital markets areas. Customers in the banking sector are becoming somewhat cautious about future economic development and its impact on IT expenditure. The subprime crises has not had any material impact on the demand of TietoEnator's services. TietoEnator agreed to acquire the Swedish company Abaris AB, which specializes in securities processing solutions. Abaris employs about 90 people in Sweden, Finland and Norway and its net sales in 2007 were around EUR 10 million. The acquisition took effect on 1 January 2007. In the third quarter, three major Nordic banks selected TietoEnator's SEPA Credit Transfers solution (Single Euro Payments Area) in order to achieve full compliance with the requirements for SEPA Credit Transfers and the European Bank Association's clearing service by January 2008. In October, TietoEnator entered into an agreement to sell its reinsurance and leasing business in Germany in an MBO (management buyout) arrangement to the current management of the businesses. The net sales of the divested businesses were approximately EUR 3 million. Telecom and media The overall market situation in the telecom and media sectors is good and TietoEnator's prospects for further growth are positive. The accelerating convergence in telecom services is driving up demand for IT services. Operators are also looking for new IT solutions to boost their competitiveness. The R&D market is being restructured and relocated as customers increase their presence in countries with favourable cost-structures. R&D responsibilities are outsourced to strong partners to secure continuity, and R&D spending in offshore countries is on the rise due to cost-efficiency considerations and the importance of new markets. In January 2007, TietoEnator recruited 140 people who had formerly worked for the Taiwan-based BenQ's R&D centre in Wroclaw, southern Poland. At the beginning of February, TietoEnator assumed responsibility for Ericsson's design centre in Aarhus, Denmark, with 86 employees. The design centre supplies IP software building blocks for Ericsson products. In April, TietoEnator signed an agreement with Siemens IT Solutions and Services in Italy regarding the streamlining of business-critical and customer-related processes and services for mobile telephony. The value of the contract is expected to be around EUR 40 million and the contract period is three years. In June, TietoEnator agreed on further co-operation with Nokia Siemens Networks. TietoEnator incorporated parts of Nokia Siemens Networks' Finnish R&D operations for mobile networks and took on the R&D responsibilities for certain parts of Nokia Siemens Networks' product portfolio. Approximately 230 employees joined TietoEnator Telecom & Media at the beginning of July. In the third quarter, TietoEnator agreed on an extension of a partnership deal with Blyk that was announced in April. TietoEnator is providing Blyk, the new ad-funded mobile network for young people, with Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) services. In October, TietoEnator acquired Fortuna Technologies Pvt. Ltd. in India. The company has approximately 300 employees and provides R&D services and develops turnkey software solutions for major European and Asian mobile device manufacturers of 3G handsets. In the fourth quarter, a decision was made to open a telecom R&D centre in Chengdu, China. Government, manufacturing and retail Overall demand is solid in all of these areas as customers are seeking to improve performance and productivity. Demand in the Finnish government sector is good. Government customers plan to start several large development projects in the coming years. However, the new framework arrangement for the sourcing of technical IT consulting has ushered in price pressures. The arrangement was established by Hansel Ltd, the central procurement unit of the State of Finland. The positive trend in the manufacturing industry is expected to continue. Retail customers are in the market for IT systems to help them provide new ways to manage customer needs and changes in customer behaviour towards multi-channel buying. In September, TietoEnator divested its holding in the Swedish company TietoEnator GM&R AB, which provides application management and project services to customers within the retail and logistics industries. The company had 23 employees. The divestment did not have any material impact on the business area's net sales or operating profit. Healthcare and welfare Thanks to IT standardization and national development efforts to harmonize healthcare IT, demand in the Finnish healthcare market is good. That said, the market is competitive. In Sweden and Norway, the market is fragmented and develops slowly. Many projects have been postponed and some projects have been scaled down to smaller deliveries. The finances of healthcare service providers are in a squeeze, which has made the market very challenging. The Central European market is dominated by big companies. The Nordic welfare market has shown a clear growth trend. Customers are waiting for the next wave of digitalizing services. Forest and energy In the forest sector, there is steady demand for investments to harmonize IT systems and infrastructure. In the Nordic countries, customers are restructuring their operations and closing down excess capacity, but they are interested in expanding business in Asia and Russia. Demand is stable in North America, while it is very brisk in South America and Asia. In the energy sector, the market situation remains favourable for the oil and gas segment as well as for the utility segment. Larger investments in finding new oil reservoirs and utilizing old ones, growing demand for energy and the good economic situation of energy companies ensure IT investments in the coming years. In some competence areas there is a shortage of experienced resources. Infrastructure outsourcing The market for infrastructure outsourcing is good with a continuous flow of mid-sized tender requests. Customers are looking for more flexible solutions and request broader service agreements that provide coverage for entire business processes. Prices for traditional infrastructure services are under continuous pressure. In June, the Swedish state-owned pharmacy chain Apoteket AB chose TietoEnator as its new supplier of ICT operations management, applications integration, applications management and workstation management and support. According to TietoEnator estimates, the total value of the order will be around EUR 57 million. In September, TietoEnator opened a service centre in St Petersburg with a view to expanding operations in Russia and serving its current customers that operate in the country. Net sales Fourth-quarter net sales grew by 8% to EUR 491.3 (455.5) million or by 9% in local currencies. Organic growth remained at a healthy level, 8%. Full-year Q4 net Q4 net Full-year Sales Organic sales organic growth, % growth, % growth, % growth, % Banking & Insurance 5 4 3 2 Telecom & Media 24 22 23 22 Government, Manufacturing & -20 -11 -22 -1 Retail Healthcare & Welfare -7 -6 -2 -2 Forest & Energy 2 2 11 8 Processing & Network 14 14 9 9 In the fourth quarter, Telecom & Media saw further strong development thanks to the good market situation and several new, larger contracts landed during 2007. The business area bolstered its position among its key customers as well. Processing & Network's strong performance was supported by the active Nordic ICT infrastructure market especially in service based outsourcing. In Processing & Network, one-off adjustments had a positive impact of approximately 4 percentage points in the fourth quarter. Net sales of Government, Manufacturing & Retail decreased by 20%, organically by 11%. The decline in organic growth was due to the reversal of net sales related mainly to a single risk project, and the decline in sales, especially in retail. Part of the reduction was attributable to the divestment of government businesses in Denmark, Norway and Sweden in October 2006. Manufacturing was the strongest sector. Forest & Energy's growth slowed down after several very strong quarters, mainly due to the weak development in the utilities sector. Net sales growth in the oil & gas sector remained at a high level. Net sales were also impacted by a write-off related to a risk project. This had an impact of approximately 5 percentage points. In the Healthcare & Welfare business area net sales growth was negatively impacted by challenges in the solution business in Scandinavia and Germany. TietoEnator's full-year net sales grew by 8% to EUR 1 772.4 (1 646.5) million, or by 8% in local currencies. Organic growth totalled 9%. TietoEnator's full-year growth was 9% in Sweden, 7% in Finland and 8% in Norway. In Germany, net sales grew by 23%, thanks mainly to new outsourcing contracts. Net sales in Denmark declined by 49% mainly due to the divestment of government business in October 2006. In the UK, growth was strong at 15%. Telecom and media posted strong growth, increasing its share of consolidated net sales to 37% (31). The banking and insurance sector generated 22% (23) of net sales, whereas the public sector's contribution declined to 15% (18). The forest sector's contribution was 5% (5) and the energy sector's 6% (5). The order backlog, which only comprises services ordered with binding contracts, amounted to EUR 1 058.1 million (1 244.7) at the end of the period. A few large contracts with current customers have ended and some of them are to be renegotiated. Processing & Network's share of the order backlog is 33%. In total 61% (51) of the backlog is expected to be invoiced in 2008. Profitability In the fourth quarter, profitability was heavily burdened by one-off items of EUR 104.5 million related to the Performance Improvement Programme announced in October 2007. Fourth-quarter operating profit declined to EUR -63.8 (43.9) million and operating margin was -13.0% (9.6). Operating profit includes net capital gains of EUR 1.5 (7.3) million. The costs of the Performance Improvement Programme with no cash flow effect amounted to EUR 51.8 million, of which EUR 40 million was due to goodwill impairment in the UK banking business. Items with cash flow effect amounted to EUR 52.7 million. However, most of these items were booked as provisions in the fourth quarter and the cash flow effect will materialize in 2008 and 2009. The business areas that were impacted most heavily by the one-off items were Banking & Insurance (EUR 49.6 million), Government, Manufacturing & Retail (EUR 16.4 million) and Healthcare & Welfare (EUR 9.8 million). In Banking & Insurance, on top of goodwill impairment in the UK the one-off items include provisions for restructuring. Government, Manufacturing & Retail suffered mainly from one risk project. The Healthcare & Welfare business area's provisions for clearing risk projects reflect the challenges the business area has faced in the solution business, especially in Norway, Sweden and Germany. Operating profit excluding one-off items was positive in all business areas. Net financial expenses stood at EUR 3.9 (1.7) million in the fourth quarter. Net interest expenses were EUR 1.5 (1.6) million and one-time net losses from foreign exchange transactions EUR 0.8 (0.1) million. Fourth-quarter earnings per share (EPS) totalled EUR -1.00 (0.39). EPS was strained by net capital losses of EUR 0.01 (gains 0.03) per share, impairment of EUR 0.56 (0.00) per share and amortization on intangibles of EUR 0.03 (0.03) per share. Due to reversed stock option expenses, EPS increased by EUR 0.01 (decreased 0.01) per share. Full-year operating profit amounted to EUR 1.3 (127.7) million. Net capital losses were EUR 1.6 (net gains 15.7) million. Excluding capital losses and gains operating profit totalled EUR 2.9 (112.0) million, representing a margin of 0.2% (6.8). Operating profit included one-off items of EUR 104.7 million related to the Performance Improvement Programme. Full-year restructuring expenses amounted to EUR 30.7 (12.4) million of which EUR 22.1 million was booked in the fourth quarter and was related to Performance Improvement Programme. The full-year operating margin, excl. capital gains or losses, in TietoEnator's main markets was 12% (15) in Finland and 1% (2) in Sweden. Compared to 2006, profitability was weaker in all markets due to loss-making projects, restructuring, impairment losses and unfavourable development of pricing and costs. Operating margin outside Finland and Sweden was negative in 2007. Full-year net financial expenses stood at EUR 9.9 (3.2) million. Net interest expenses were EUR 7.1 (2.1) million and net losses from foreign exchange transactions EUR 0.7 (0.6) million. Full-year earnings per share totalled EUR -0.44 (1.15). EPS was strained by net capital losses of EUR 0.02 (gains 0.14) per share, impairment of EUR 0.55 (0.00) per share, amortization on intangibles of EUR 0.14 (0.12) per share and stock option expenses of EUR 0.03 (0.05) per share. Operating profit (EBIT) included EUR 2.5 (2.4) million from amortization on allocated intangible assets in the fourth quarter and EUR 9.8 (8.8) million in the full year. Operating profit was impacted by the costs arising from share-based payments. Due to reversed stock option expenses, the share-based payments had a positive impact of EUR 1.0 (negative 0.8) million on the fourth quarter profit and a negative impact of EUR 2.3 (4.0) million on the full-year profit. The costs are included in employee benefit expenses. The 12-month rolling return on capital employed (ROCE) was 7.8% and the return on shareholders' equity (ROE) -5.7%. Financing and investments Net cash flow from operations amounted to EUR 115.7 (113.0) million in the full year. Operating profit contributed EUR 121.8 (174.7) million and the decrease in working capital EUR 8.4 (-37.8) million. Tax payments amounted to EUR 9.9 (24.8) million. Dividends amounting to EUR 88.3 million were paid in April and altogether EUR 32.1 million was used for the share repurchase programme in August and September, of which EUR 2.1 million was paid in October. Payments for acquisitions totalled EUR 28.3 million in the full-year. Divestments generated EUR 4.6 million. The equity ratio was 40.2% (48.4). Gearing increased to 34.4% (14.9). Net debt totalled EUR 164.5 (93.4) million, including EUR 247.3 million in interest-bearing debt, EUR 1.4 million in finance lease liabilities, EUR 11.2 million in finance lease receivables and EUR 72.9 million in cash and cash equivalents. The interest-bearing debt consists of one seven-year bond, at EUR 100 million and one seven-year private placement at EUR 50 million, and usage of EUR 96 million from the short-term EUR 250 million commercial paper programme. At the end of the quarter unused credit facilities totalled about EUR 404 million. Accrual-based investments totalled EUR 87.7 (77.9) million for the period. Capital expenditure including financial leasing accounted for EUR 52.9 (50.9) million, investments in business activities for EUR 0.0 (5.5) million, and investments in subsidiary and associated company shares for EUR 34.8 (21.5) million. Personnel The number of full-time employees totalled 16 324 (14 597) at the end of December. Acquisitions and new outsourcing contracts added 834 employees during the year. In 2007, a total of 210 employees were made redundant, mostly in Telecom & Media and Processing & Network. Employee turnover has continued to increase due to the very brisk labour market. The 12-month rolling figure stood at 11.2% (9.0) at the end of December. The average number of full-time employees was 15 588 (14 414) in the full year. As a result of the national salary raises agreed in the collective labour agreements in Finland and Sweden, the fourth-quarter salary level increased by 3-4% compared to the corresponding quarter of 2006. In 2008, the salaries in Finland and in Sweden are expected to increase on average by 4-5% year on year. At the end of December, the number of people in global centres of excellence totalled about 3 270 (2 000), or 19% (13) of the total headcount. The acquisition of the Indian company Fortuna Technologies increased this number by approximately 300 people from October onwards. Management On 16 October, the Board of Directors decided to discharge the President and CEO Pentti Heikkinen. On 17 December, TietoEnator's Board of Directors appointed Hannu Syrjälä as the Group's new President and CEO. Mr Syrjälä will start in his new position by 15 February 2008. Åke Plyhm, who has served as interim CEO since 16 October, will resume his previous position as the Deputy CEO. Transactions with related parties The related parties of TietoEnator are its Board of Directors, President and CEO, the Corporate Management Team and the Group's associated companies. Chairman of the Board of Directors Matti Lehti's service contract with TietoEnator ended on 30 June 2007 when he reached his retirement age of 60 years. He is currently non-executive Chairman of the Board of Directors. Transactions with associated companies are not considered to be material. Shares and options At the end of December, the share capital amounted to EUR 75 841 523 and the total number of shares to 73 958 173. On 20 December, TietoEnator's Board of Directors decided to cancel all of the 1 935 000 TietoEnator shares that were acquired by the company during August and September 2007. The cancellation of these shares was registered in the Trade Register on 9 January 2008. Following registration, the number of shares in TietoEnator amounts to 72 023 173. The cancellation has no effect on the share capital of the company. The cancelled shares represented 2.6% of the total number of shares and voting rights in the company. TietoEnator still has 361 650 shares in its possession. Shares held by the company represent 0.5% of all the shares and voting rights. The outstanding number of shares excluding the shares in the company's possession was 71 661 523 at the end of December and 71 661 523 on 9 January 2008. TietoEnator's Annual General Meeting 2007 approved authorizations to issue share and option rights or raise convertible bond loans. The Board has not exercised these authorizations. Dividend proposal The Board of Directors is proposing a dividend of EUR 0.50 (1.20) per share for 2007. Events after the reporting period In January, TietoEnator initiated personnel negotiations to address the need to reduce the number of personnel and overhead costs. The estimated need for personnel adjustments, including personnel reductions and internal transfers within the company, is approximately 800 positions, mainly in Finland and Sweden. The negotiations will cover adjustments during 2008 and concern all employee categories within the business areas and group functions, but the focus differs country by country. Approximately 400 of the affected personnel are in Finland, 250 in Sweden, and around 150 in other TietoEnator business countries. Risks and uncertainties A more commoditized market and new offshore competition are creating price pressure. On top of that the availability and cost of resources, customers' demands for tighter contract terms and the ability to control challenging deliveries are TietoEnator's main near-term risks. Additionally, potential slowdown of economic growth is a risk for TietoEnator. A comprehensive description of risk management will be available in the Annual Review 2007. Prospects for 2008 TietoEnator expects the IT market to remain active. The turbulence in the financial markets has created some uncertainty for the development in 2008. Price pressures exist, but on average, prices are expected to stay about on the same level or be higher than in 2007. TietoEnator expects the labour market to remain active also in 2008. A major part of the actions related to TietoEnator's Performance Improvement Programme will take place during 2008. The costs related to these actions will impact TietoEnator's profitability during 2008. The positive impacts of the Performance Improvement Programme will start to materialize during the second half of 2008. TietoEnator expects its full-year revenue growth in 2008 to follow the overall development in the relevant market. The estimate does not include divestments or closures of businesses. Full-year operating profit (EBIT) is expected to improve from 2007.
