REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Overview
Due to the rapid weakening in the global economy, strong fluctuations in the
exchange rates and the tightening in the financial markets Teleste's business
environment became increasingly uncertain and harder to predict towards the end
of the year. The changes in the business environment made our clientele
increasingly cautious regarding their investment plans, and the relevant
projects were partially pushed back. Similarly, year-on-year framework
deliveries were reduced. On the other hand, the developing Indian market was
active and Teleste managed to secure the largest single order on record of EUR
12.0 million from Digicable Networks PVT Ltd for delivery of IP-headends.
Measures designed to increase flexibility in the cost structure were initiated
in the second half of the year. Sufficient financing was secured by way of
binding credit limits agreed with two separate banks. These limits amount to EUR
40 million in total and remain valid until November 2013.
Product development efforts continued on a par with last year. The most
important project involved the video processing system making use of the
IP-based technology.
Events after the End of the Period under Review
The services business was strengthened right in the beginning of January 2009 by
acquiring three German companies providing network maintenance services to
German operators. In 2009, the acquisitions will increase Teleste's net sales by
approximately EUR 30 million. The relevant acquisition cost calculation will be
completed by the release of the interim report for Q1 of 2009.
With the share transactions carried out on 14 and 29 January 2009, EM Group Oy
flagged their holding of Teleste to have increased up to 5.04% and 10.57%,
respectively.
Net Sales and Profitability
Teleste net sales totaled EUR 108.7 (125.1) million, a decrease of 13.1 % over
the previous year. Net sales in Q4 amounted to EUR 28.1 (31.1) million.
Operating profit stood at EUR 5.6 (13.2) million making 5.2 % (10.5 %) of the
net sales. Operating profit for Q4 stood at EUR 1.6 (3.0) million making 5.6%
(9.8%) of the net sales.
Orders received by the Group equaled last year's level, i.e. EUR 118.6 (118.5)
million. Order accrual weakened for the amplifier solutions included in frame
agreements, especially in the second half-year. Orders received in Q4 stood at
EUR 25.3 (29.7) million. Teleste's order backlog grew by 11.6% amounting to EUR
24.0 (21.5) million at the year-end. This increase in order backlog was mainly
attributable to the significant contract of EUR 12 million secured in June by
Broadband Cable Networks in India. Orders worth EUR 7.5 million entered in 2006
and 2007 have been taken away from the order backlog as the relevant deliveries
have been estimated uncertain.
Profit after financial items totaled EUR 5.1 (12.7) million while the net profit
after taxes equaled EUR 5.5 (9.4) million. Accounting period taxes include a tax
refund of EUR 1.3 million. The relevant adjustment applied to the tax
deductibility of specific items for 2004 to 2006. Undiluted result per share for
the Group stood at EUR 0.32 (EUR 0.55). Return on capital employed amounted to
10.4% (27.1%) and return on equity was 11.8% (22.2%).
R&D and Investments
R&D expenditure for the period under review totalled EUR 13.5 (13.1) million
making 12.4% (10.5%) of net sales. The most significant R&D effort involved
further development of the so-called Luminato video processing system based on
Internet protocol. Our on-going product development efforts also included the
broadband data transfer system EttH, the new generation amplifier technology
Access, the high-density optics solution HDO, video surveillance transfer system
MP-X and the CCTV management system VMX. Specification of the Gateway involved
in the last mile system FttX and the selection of partners for the
implementation stage were successfully completed.
Some 60% (40%) of product development expenses involved further development of
product platforms currently in production and their maintenance as well as
customer-specific product applications. Activated product development expenses
stood at EUR 2.5 (2.7) million. This capitalization mainly involved the
IP-headend, EttH, and MP-X. Depreciation on activated R&D expenses amounted to
EUR 2.2 (1.4) million.
The R&D expenditure in Q4 amounted to EUR 3.4 (3.5) million.
A number of Teleste's projects involved co-operation with Finnish universities
and research institutes. 25% of Teleste's personnel (23%/2007, 22%/2006) worked
in R&D related assignments.
Investments for the period under review totalled EUR 3.9 (12.3) million making
3.6 % (9.8 %) of net sales. Investments of EUR 2.5 million involved product
development while EUR 0.7 million included acquisitions. As to investments for
the period, EUR 0.2 (1.8) million was carried out by financial leasing.
Financing
Liquidity of the Group remained good throughout the year. Operating cash flow
stood at EUR 9.7 (12.0) million. At the end of the period, the amount of unused
binding stand-by credits amounted to EUR 31.0 (23.0) million. The current
binding stand-by credits of EUR 40.0 million run till November 2013. The Group's
equity ratio was 61.7% (60.2%) and gearing 3.6% (3.8%). Interest bearing debt on
31 December 2008 was EUR 11.0 (9.5) million.
Personnel and Organisation
In 2008, the Group employed, on average, 702 people (681/2007, 608/2006). At the
year-end, the figure totaled 677 (672/2007, 621/2006) of which approximately 33%
(34%/2007, 30%/2006) were stationed overseas. The stated number of personnel
does not include temporary labor averaging 29 (64) persons in the financial
period. The number of temporary labor at the year-end was 8 (36).
Employees stationed outside Europe accounted for less than 10% of the Group's
personnel. Expenditure on employee benefits amounted to EUR 33.2 (31.5/2007,
27.1/2006) million.
In the co-determination negotiations concluded in December, temporary lay-off of
the personnel was agreed upon as part of the cost structure adaptation
procedures required by the market situation. Additional lay-offs involving
personnel will be continued in a flexible manner as required by the market
situation.
Description of Business Areas and the Involved Key Risks
Founded in 1954, Teleste is a technology company currently running the business
units of Broadband Cable Networks and Video Networks. In line with its strategy
Teleste continues to focus on the chosen product and technology segments as well
services business. 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. The
current difficult situation in the financial market may slow down implementation
of investment plans among the clientele. The way customers proceed with their
investments follows a typically cyclic pattern. In compliance with its strategy,
by increasing the services business Teleste intends to smoothen this cyclic
pattern in its net sales. Furthermore, the prevailing circumstances may
undermine the solvency of some customers.
Correct technological choices and their timing are vital for the success of our
business areas. It is equally important to take into account any developments in
the market such as consolidations taking place among the clientele and
competition. Much of Teleste's competition comes from the USA and, therefore,
strong euro up against the US dollar erodes the company competitiveness. Teleste
hedges against short-term currency exposure by means of forward contracts.
The Board of Directors annually reviews any essential risks related to the
company operation and management thereof. Risk management has been integrated
into the strategic and operative practices of our business areas. Risks and
their probability are reported to the Board with regular monthly reporting.
The company has covered risks related to damage in operative functions of the
business areas mainly by insurance policies. These insurances do not include
credit loss risks. No such risks materialized in 2008, and no legal proceedings
or judicial procedures were pending that would have had any essential
significance for the Group operation.
Broadband Cable Networks
Broadband Cable Networks provides its main clientele of cable operators with
equipment and systems designed for the construction of transmission network and
signal processing. Deliveries include individual pieces of equipment and turnkey
networks alike. Increasingly the business also makes available a number of
services related to the maintenance and engineering of network infrastructure.
The main market area of Broadband Cable Networks is Europe, which business area
involves 21 own sales offices supported by a number of retail and integration
partners. Outside Europe, Broadband Cable Networks has own offices located in
China and India. Acquired in February 2008, Ortikon Interactive Oy strengthens
the provision of IPTV solutions for the business area.
The product development efforts of the business area focused, in particular, on
further development of the IP-based headend system Luminato, the broadband data
transfer system EttH, the new generation amplifier technology presented by
Access and the high-definition fibre-optic solution HDO.
Orders received by Broadband Cable Networks were level with the year of
comparison standing at EUR 101.4 (101.4) million. The order backlog was
strengthened by the order of EUR 12.0 million received from India in June for
the Luminato headend solution. The related deliveries are expected to start
towards the end of first half of 2009.
Net sales fell by 14.4% (+26.5 %) standing at EUR 92.6 (108.2) million. This
reduction in net sales was mainly caused by a decrease in amplifier deliveries
based on the frame agreements.
Operating profit decreased by 52.4% (+41.7%) standing at EUR 6.1 (12.8) million.
Weakening in the operating profit was mainly due to diminished net sales.
At the year-end, order backlog stood at EUR 21.0 (19.7) million. Orders worth
EUR 7.5 million entered in 2006 and 2007 have been deleted from the order
backlog as the relevant deliveries have come to be deemed uncertain.
Orders received in the last quarter of the period under review remained at EUR
19.7 (25.2) million. The decrease in the order accrual for Q4 over the period of
comparison was caused by a reduction in orders on amplifier deliveries related
to frame agreements and a weakening in orders obtained from the Eastern Europe.
Net sales for Q4 amounted to EUR 23.8 (25.5) million while the operating profit
stood at EUR 1.7 (2.3) million.
Video Networks
Primary clientele of Video Networks includes public sector organizations and
system integrators. The business area is specializing in high-quality video
surveillance transfer and management systems carrying real-time video, audio and
data. The product development efforts of the business area focused particularly
on further development of IP-based video surveillance transfer systems MP-X and
the CCTV management system VMX.
The business has seven sales offices in Europe with two overseas, in the United
States and Australia, more specifically. Sales offices in Thailand and China
were closed in 2008.
Orders received by Video Networks were level with the year of comparison
amounting to EUR 17.2 (17.1) million. Net sales fell by 4.8 % (+4.3 %) standing
at EUR 16.1 (16.9) million. Operating profit was EUR 0.5 (+0.3) million in the
red. Weakened profitability was mainly caused by diminished net sales. At the
year-end, order backlog stood at EUR 3.0 (1.8) million.
In the last quarter of the year under review, orders received amounted to EUR
5.6 (4.5) million with net sales equaling EUR 4.4 (5.5) million. The
year-on-year decrease in the net sales is attributable to rescheduling of
deliveries agreed with specific customers. Operating profit was EUR 0.1 million
in the red (0.7 million in the black) due to low volume of net sales.
In 2009, price competition will continue to intensify, especially in the area of
network solutions. Large companies have entered the market with determination.
Moreover, technology involved in these applications is renewing rapidly.

6,966,932.80 divided in 17,805,590 shares.
Other matters affecting the company governance will be stated in the Annual
Report under Good Governance.
Outlook for 2009
As the offering of services for the clientele of Broadband Cable Networks
increases and becomes more versatile and with the competition intensifying, the
operators will need to invest in increased network capacity and improved
quality. The competitive solutions of the business area and the strengthening in
the demand for the services business ensure our strong market position in the
current challenging business environment.
Increased needs for security and more effective traffic infrastructure push up
demand for solutions by Video Networks. We estimate the demand for Video
Networks' high-quality video surveillance solutions and the systems designed for
the industry to remain at a reasonable level in 2009.
In the prevailing uncertain market situation, regardless of the increasing
demand by the end-users, our clientele may be cautious with their network
investments, which can cause delays in the final investment decisions in the
first half of 2009. We believe the market situation to normalize towards the end
of the year and get back on the growth path.
Teleste will keep its strong market position it the core markets and continue to
implement its strategy in a goal-directed manner while adapting its cost
structure as required. In 2009, the recent strategic investments in the services
business performed by Teleste cushion the cyclic pattern in the company net
sales under the uncertain market conditions.
Due to the temporary delays in network investments, preparations for weakening
net sales and profitability will be made in the 2009 operating plan at least for
the first half of the year.
Board of Directors' Proposal for Dividends
Regarding the Annual General Meeting scheduled for 7 April 2009, the Board
proposes that a dividend of EUR 0.12 (EUR 0.24) per share would be paid for the
outstanding shares for the year 2008.
