Comments on second quarter of 2015 by CEO Jukka Rinnevaara:
”The demand for Teleste's products continued to be strong during the second quarter. Orders received in the quarter reached EUR 64.1 million, the highest level in Teleste's history. As a result of increased product deliveries, operating profit and earnings per share also improved clearly over the comparative period.
Demand for Video and Broadband Solutions was good while orders received increased the order backlog to the record high level of EUR 46.7 million. The demand for products complying with the DOCSIS 3.1 standard was particularly good. Net sales of the business area rose to EUR 36.5 million, which is the highest ever net sales in a single quarter. Net sales grew particularly owing to the Mitron acquisition, but also in the access network products. Growing market areas included particularly Poland, Norway, and Israel. The operating result was especially boosted by the delivery volumes in access network products and the improved profitability of the video headend products.
For Network Services the second quarter was a disappointment. In Germany, the need for services of our largest customer failed to increase according to forecasts, resulting in an unbalanced resource allocation and a negative result. In the UK, the investment designed to expand the business was continued. Launching of new customerships has progressed, but the new projects have not yet reached the volume required for profitability. In other countries, the result of the services business has evolved better than we predicted.”

Network Services in April to June 2015
| Key figures (1,000 €) | 4-6/2015 | 4-6/2014 | Change % |
| Orders received | 23,211 | 22,405 | +3.6% |
| Net sales | 23,211 | 22,405 | +3.6% |

| EBIT % | -2.1% | -2.0% |
Net sales for the second quarter stood at EUR 23.2 (22.4) million, which is 3.6% higher than in the comparison period. This increase in net sales was achieved mainly in Switzerland. Operating profit was a loss standing at EUR -0.5 (-0.5) million, or -2.1% (-2.0%) of the net sales. This loss stemmed from the UK and Germany. In the UK, the investment designed to expand the business was continued. Launching of new customerships has progressed, but the new projects have not yet reached the volume required for profitability. In Germany, the need for services of our largest customer failed to increase according to the forecasts, resulting in a loss caused by unbalanced resource allocation. Profitability has developed positively in Switzerland.
Network Services in January to June 2015
| Key figures (1,000 €) | 1-6/2015 | 1-6/2014 | Change % | 1-12/2014 |
| Orders received | 46,122 | 44,453 | +3.8% | 90,275 |
| Net sales | 46,122 | 44,453 | +3.8% | 90,275 |

The year-on-year net sales grew by 3.8% amounting to EUR 46.1 (44.5) million. Operating profit equalled EUR 0.1 (0.0) million. In the UK, profit for the beginning of the year was still burdened by the investments designed to expand the business. The new services business was loss-making throughout the first half of the year. In Germany, fluctuations in the demand for services in the second quarter pushed the business into the red.
Personnel and Organization in January to June 2015
In the period under review, the Group had an annual average of 1,477 people (1,275/2014, 1,336/2013), of whom 682 (562) were employed by Video and Broadband Solutions, and 795 (713) by Network Services. At the end of the review period, the Group employed 1,517 people (1,303/2014, 1,325/2013) of whom 66% (69%/2014, 74%/2014) were stationed abroad. About 3% of the Group's employees were working outside Europe.
Personnel costs amounted to EUR 35.3 million (29.3/2014, 28.9/2013). This increase in personnel expenses was due to the acquisition of Mitron, as well as the increased number of employees working for Network Services.
Investments and Product Development in January to June 2015
Investments by the Group in the period under review totalled EUR 13.5 (1.5) million accounting for 11.9% (1.7%) of the net sales. EUR 11.5 million of these investments involved the acquisition of Mitron. Product development investments amounted to EUR 0.6 (0.6) million while other investments equalled EUR 0.8 (0.8) million.
Product development projects focused on network products complying with the Docsis 3.1 standard, network management system, distributed access architecture and customer-specific projects.
Financing and Capital Structure in January to June 2015
Operating cash flow stood at EUR -3.4 (1.8) million. This decline in the operating cash flow over the comparative period was caused by increased working capital. Growth in trade receivables and inventories increased working capital proportionally more than the net sales increased.
In January, Teleste Corporation signed new overdraft and revolving credit facilities with a total value of EUR 45.0 million. These new agreements replaced the corresponding previous funding agreements. At the end of the reporting period, the amount of unused binding stand-by credit facilities at the Group's disposal equalled EUR 8.1 (17.0) million. These credit limits are valid until the end of March 2018. On 30 June 2015, the Group's interest bearing debt stood at EUR 40.1 (24.1) million.
The Group's equity ratio equalled 44.3% (52.0%) and net gearing 35.3% (18.2%).
Key Risks Faced 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 concerned resource allocation and technical implementation pose a challenge involving, therefore, also reasonable risks. In particular, deliveries of integrated security and information systems for the rail transport segment may be large in size, setting high demands for the project quotation calculation and management and, consequently, there are risks involved. 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 US dollar and the Chinese renminbi to the euro affects our product costs.
The company hedges against short-term currency exposure by means of forward exchange 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. Correct technological choices and their timing are vital for our success. Regardless of careful planning and quality assurance, complex products may fail in the customer's network and lead to expensive repair obligations.
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. Improvements in customer satisfaction and productivity require efficient control of service process management as well as innovative solutions in processes, products and logistics to ensure the quality of services and cost effectiveness. Smooth operation of cable networks necessitates efficient technical management of the networks and functional solutions for devices 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 own personnel and our sub-contractor network capacity. Tender calculation and management of larger projects with overall responsibility are complex and risky. Severe weather conditions may affect the supply conditions of our products and services.
Teleste’s strategy involves risks and uncertainties: new business opportunities may fail to be identified or they cannot be acted upon successfully. The business areas will have to keep an eye on market movements, such as consolidations among the customers and competitors. Intensifying competition may decrease the prices of products and solutions faster than we manage to reduce our products’ manufacturing and delivery costs. Various information systems are critical to the development, manufacturing and supply of products to our customers. Maintenance of information systems and deployment of new systems involve risks that may affect our ability to deliver products and services. Information systems may also be subject to external threats, from which we aim to protect ourselves. Acquisition of skilled personnel and maintenance of their competence require encouragement, development and recruitment, which can fail.
The Board of Directors annually reviews any essential risks related to the company operation and the management thereof. Risk management constitutes an integral part of the strategic and operative practices of our business areas. Risks are reported to the Board on a regular basis.
The company has covered any major risks of loss related to 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 9 April 2015 confirmed the financial statements for 2014 and discharged the Board of Directors and the CEO from liability for the financial period. The AGM confirmed the dividend of EUR 0.20 per share as proposed by the Board. The dividend was paid out on 20 April 2015.
The AGM decided that the Board of Directors consists of six members. Mr. Pertti Ervi, Ms. Jannica Fagerholm, Mr. Esa Harju, Ms. Marjo Miettinen, Mr. Kai Telanne and Mr. Petteri Walldén were re-elected as members of Teleste Corporation's Board of Directors. Ms. Marjo Miettinen was elected Chair of the Board in the organizational meeting held immediately after the AGM.
Authorized Public Accountants KPMG Oy Ab continue as the auditor until the next AGM. Mr. Esa Kailiala, accountant authorized by the Central Chamber of Commerce of Finland, was chosen auditor-in-charge.
The Annual General Meeting decided to authorize the Board of Directors to decide on repurchasing the Company's own shares as proposed by the Board. Based on this authorization, the Board of Directors may repurchase a maximum of 1,200,000 own shares of the Company otherwise than in proportion to the holdings of the shareholders by using the non-restricted equity through regulated market on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd at the market price prevailing at the time of acquisition. This authorization of purchasing is valid for 18 months from the date of the decision.
Outlook for 2015
The business objective of Video and Broadband Solutions is to maintain its strong market position in Europe and to strengthen this market position in selected new markets outside Europe. Network capacity will continue to increase driven by the new broadband and video services provided by the operators. Our new products in line with the Docsis 3.1 communication standard allow the cable operators to increase their network capacity competitively. Price erosion in the market continues. Changes in the value of the euro, particularly against the US dollar and the Chinese renminbi, affect Teleste’s competitiveness, on the one hand, and product manufacturing costs, on the other. The positive trend in the video security and passenger information markets will continue, but the public sector decisions concerning initiation of projects may be delayed by the current economic situation. In addition to organic growth, we estimate the Mitron acquisition to increase our net sales by more than EUR 22 million and its impact on our operating profit to be positive.
As to Network Services, our business objective is to further develop the operational efficiency and increase the share of those services that provide our customers with higher value. In line with this objective, we will continue to expand the new services business in the UK. We estimate the demand for all-inclusive network services in our key target markets to continue at least at the previous year level.
We estimate that net sales and operating profit for 2015 will exceed the 2014 level.
