DIGIA PLC Q1 2012: FINNISH BUSINESS MET EXPECTATIONS, INVESTMENTS IN INTERNATIONAL PRODUCT BUSINESS WEAKENED PROFITABILITY
SUMMARY
January-March
- Consolidated net sales: EUR 26.1 (33.4) million, down 21.9 per cent
- Consolidated operating profit: EUR 1.4 (2.3) million, down 37.2 per cent
- Profitability (EBIT %): 5.4 (6.8) per cent
- Product business accounted for 27.0 (14.5) per cent
- International business accounted for 19.9 (7.5) per cent
- Earnings per share: EUR 0.04 (0.07)
As a consequence of a major reduction in demand for mobile contract engineering services, the company’s revenue and operating profit were significantly diminished from the same period last year. The Finnish business progressed according to plan during the period under review, with profitability close to good level. Finances in the period were negatively affected by investments in the international product business.
The Qt business advanced according to plan in the review period. Thanks to this unit, the proportion of the company’s product business and international business grew significantly compared to the same period in the previous year. They now form a significant portion of the company’s entire business.
The company expects demand for Qt business to remain good and therefore the income from the business to continue developing positively for the rest of the year.
The company’s new organisation took effect at the beginning of the review period. The changeover went smoothly. The company expects its operational efficiency and income from international operations to improve and profitability to return to good level during the rest of the year.

MARKETS AND DIGIA'S BUSINESS
Economic growth has slowed down in many countries, which has put a damper on Finnish exports and overall production. Customer companies, which see information technology as an element that can facilitate greater operational efficiency and growth, are continuing with their projects and initiating new ones, however. In some cases, economic uncertainty has lengthened decision-making processes and project schedules have been stretched or delayed.
In terms of human resources, the situation is split. On the one hand, a large number of experts were released onto the job market from various contract engineering projects; on the other, there is a shortage of experienced architecture and business experts, which is causing lengthened recruitment processes and pressure for salary increases.
In late 2011, the company carried out an organisational reform that took effect at the beginning of the period. The changeover has gone smoothly.
Demand for ERP systems, other operational systems and integration services was reasonable during the review period. Targets were not quite met for ERP systems, however, as certain customers delayed their purchase decisions.
The focus of the development of Digia’s Russian unit is on ERP system deliveries to local customers. This unit also offers near shore resource services to Finnish business units. The unit’s operations expanded during the review period, and new local customers were found, especially within the Business Intelligence solutions field.
Digia’s Chinese unit generates product development and maintenance services, which enable the company to serve customers at various points of their product development cycle. The unit’s capacity is utilised both in projects within China and for global customer relationships.
The Qt business increased its net sales, with operations progressing according to plan during the period.
NET SALES
During the reporting period, Digia’s consolidated net sales totalled EUR 26.1 (33.4) million, down 21.9 per cent from the same period in 2011.
The decrease was due to a sharp fall in demand for mobile contract engineering services after the end of the comparison period. On the other hand, the net sales figure was positively affected by the Qt business, acquired in March 2011, which generated net sales of EUR 3.4 million during the period.
During the reporting period, the product business accounted for EUR 7.0 (4.8) million or 27.0 (14.5) per cent of consolidated net sales.
International operations accounted for EUR 5.2 (2.5) million, or 19.9 (7.5) per cent of consolidated net sales.
PROFIT PERFORMANCE AND PROFITABILITY
During the reporting period, Digia’s consolidated operating profit totalled EUR 1.4 (2.3) million, down 37.2 per cent from the same period in 2011. Profitability (EBIT %) was 5.4 (6.8) per cent.
The reduction in operating profit was mainly due to the decrease in net sales. Additionally, the company’s operating costs and profitability were affected during the period by investments in the international product business, a relative increase in the proportion of fixed operating costs, and the additional cost of higher personnel turnover.
Consolidated earnings before tax for the period totalled EUR 1.1 (1.9) million, and net profit was EUR 0.8 (1.4) million.
Consolidated earnings per share were EUR 0.04 (0.07).
The Group’s net financial expenses were EUR 0.3 (0.3) million.
FINANCIAL POSITION AND EXPENDITURE
At the end of the reporting period, Digia Group’s consolidated balance sheet total stood at EUR 84.2 million (12/2011: EUR 87.8 million), and the equity ratio was 48.8 (12/2011: 47.8) per cent. Net gearing was 37.4 (12/2011: 34.5) per cent. Period-end cash and cash equivalents totalled EUR 6.2 (12/2011: 8.2) million.
Interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 20.6 (12/2011: 21.9) million. These consisted of EUR 19.0 million in loans from financial institutions and EUR 1.6 million in financial leasing liabilities.
The Group’s cash flow from operations for the period was positive by EUR 2.0 (1.8) million, cash flow from investments was negative by EUR 0.9 (0.9) million, and cash flow from financing was negative by EUR 3.1 (5.9) million. Cash flow from financing was negatively affected by the repayment of loans for a total sum of EUR 1.0 million, as well as the payment of EUR 2.1 million in dividends.
The Group’s investments in fixed assets during the review period totalled EUR 0.9 (0.8) million. Acquisitions of tangible fixed assets totalled EUR 0.0 (0.7) million.
Return on investment (ROI) for the period was 9.5 (10.3) per cent, and return on equity (ROE) was 8.1 (8.8) per cent.
The Group carries out quarterly impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. The table below shows the distribution of goodwill and values subject to testing at the end of the reporting period:
EUR 1,000 | Specified intangible assets | Amortisations during the reporting period | Goodwill | Other items | Total value subject to testing |
Group total | 3,172 | 247 | 44,543 | 8,341 | 56,055 |
Present values were calculated for the forecast period based on the following assumptions: Net sales and operating profit for the first quarter of the forecast period according to the confirmed figures for the latest quarter, and for the following three quarters according to budget; after this, annual growth in net sales of 3 per cent and in operating profit of 10 per cent, and a discount rate of 8.9 per cent. Cash flows after the forecast period were estimated by means of cash-flow extrapolation, applying the assumptions given above.
According to a completed sensitivity analysis, the estimated goodwill requires net sales to remain at the current level, with profitability of 4.4 per cent. The management sees no risk of goodwill impairment.
HUMAN RESOURCES, MANAGEMENT, AND ADMINISTRATION
At the end of the period, the total number of Group personnel was 1,047, representing a decrease of 128 employees, or 10.9 per cent, since the end of 2011 (1,175). During the reporting period the number of employees averaged 1,078, a decrease of 375 employees or 25.8 per cent from the 2011 average (1,453).
Employees by function at the end of the period:
Business units | 96% |
Administration and management | 4% |
As of the end of the period, 163 employees were working abroad (12/2011: 161).
The Digia Plc Annual General Meeting of 13 March 2012 re-elected Robert Ingman, Kari Karvinen, Pertti Kyttälä and Tommi Uhari as members of the Board. Päivi Hokkanen, Seppo Ruotsalainen and Leena Saarinen were elected as new members. At the organisation meeting of the Board, Pertti Kyttälä was elected Chairman of the Board and Robert Ingman Vice Chairman.
Juha Varelius has been Digia Plc’s President and CEO since 1 January 2008.
Ernst & Young Oy, authorised public accountants, are the Group’s auditors, with Authorised Public Accountant Heikki Ilkka as the principal auditor.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Short-term uncertainties are related to any major changes occurring in the company’s core business areas.
In addition, the Eurozone debt crisis and the risk of economic recession may affect customers’ investment decisions and liquidity, and thereby the company’s sales and profits. There have been signs of the effect of increased uncertainty on customers’ investment decisions. Some planned projects have been delayed, but so far these have been individual cases rather than a generalised phenomenon.
As the size of customer projects grows and the availability of experienced professionals decreases, risks related to the completion and profitability management of projects increase.
Risks and their management are described on the company’s website at www.digia.com.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
The main objective for 2012 is to grow the share of the scalable product business within the overall product selection. This will mainly be achieved organically, but carefully planned strategic acquisitions are also possible. The main cornerstone of the company’s operations remains the maintenance of high profitability and a positive cash flow.
The company expects the IT market to remain at roughly the previous year’s level in 2012. However, risks associated with the Eurozone debt crisis and general inflation may affect demand for IT services and the development of business profitability. Slightly greater uncertainty is therefore related to the economic prospects for 2012.
With regard to its own operations, the company expects demand for its ERP systems, operational systems and integration services to grow during the rest of the year.
The company will continue to seek expansion in the growing Russian market, especially through its Business Intelligence solutions, ERP systems and complementary products and services within the trade and logistics customer segments.
The company plans to align its Chinese operations to correspond even better to local sales and international delivery contracts. As part of this realignment, the Beijing sales unit will also support Qt business sales.
The company predicts that demand for Qt business will remain good and income from the business will therefore continue developing positively for the rest of the year.
The company expects its operational efficiency and the income from international operations to improve and profitability to return to good level during the rest of the year.
OTHER EVENTS DURING THE REVIEW PERIOD
Convening on 13 March 2012, the Digia Plc Annual General Meeting (AGM) approved the financial statements for 2011, released the Board members and the CEO from liability, determined Board emoluments, resolved to keep the number of Board members at seven, and elected the Board of Directors for the new term.
With regard to profit distribution for 2011, the AGM approved the Board’s proposal to make a repayment of capital of EUR 0.10 per share to all shareholders listed on the shareholder list maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd on the reconciliation date of 16 March 2012. The date for the repayment of capital was set to be 23 March 2012.
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 not 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 Shareholders’ Meeting on 16 March 2011 and is valid for 18 months – i.e. until 13 September 2013.
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, at a maximum, 4,000,000 shares. 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 16 March 2011 and is valid for 18 months – i.e. until 13 September 2013.
