INTERIM REPORT OF COMPTEL CORPORATION 1 JANUARY - 31 MARCH 2016
 

Revenue grew and profitability improved.

 

  • Net sales EUR 22.4 (January - March 2015: 21.0), growth 6.8%
  • Operating result EUR 1.8 million (1.5), growth 17.6%
  • Net profit EUR 0.8 million (0.3), growth 183.5%
  • Earnings per share EUR 0.01 (0.00)
  • Order backlog EUR 60.0 million (55.8), growth 7.5%
     

Outlook (unchanged): 

Comptel expects the 2016 net sales to continue to grow and operating profit to be in the range of 8–14% of revenue. 

Characteristically a significant part of Comptel’s operating profit and net sales is generated in the second half of the year.


Juhani Hintikka, President and CEO:

Our revenue continued to grow in the first quarter and our order intake was close to 40 per cent higher than in first quarter last year. Our profitability improved on both the operating result and the net profit level. 

The Intelligent Data unit grew by 14.6 per cent in the first quarter compared to the previous year. The growth in our Intelligent Data business unit that started in second half of last year is continuing. The Intelligent Data unit’s growth was due to the growth in our Data Refinery solution. In the first quarter, the growth rate of the Service Orchestration unit was lower, mainly due to the timing of certain customer deals. 

In Asia-Pacific business development continued particularly well and the region grew 22.6 per cent year on year. We see strong demand continuing in the Asia-Pacific region. 

In the first quarter, we also posted our first revenue from our new FWD solution. The revenue was still small, but the progress with targeted customers is very good, and we are on track with our plans for wider launch of the product. We are currently working with pilot customers in Africa and elsewhere. The progress with the FWD solution has been encouraging so far, and its future potential is significant. 

We also had a strong cash flow in first quarter with EUR 10.7 million operating cash flow in the first quarter. 

During the first quarter we secured 7 significant orders (Q1 2015:3), valued over EUR 0.5 million.”

     

Business Review of the First Quarter 2016

Comptel’s net sales increased in the first quarter by 6.8 per cent from the previous year, to 22.4 million (21.0). The net sales increase was due to the strong backlog at the end of the year and growth in the Asia-Pacific region. European sales continued to grow as in the second half of last year.

The operating result for the period was EUR 1.8 million (1.5), which corresponds to 7.8 per cent of net sales (7.1). The growth resulted from increased sales and profitability in the Intelligent Data unit.

The result before taxes was EUR 1.4 million (0.8), and the net result was EUR 0.83 million (0.29). Net profit improved by 183.5 per cent. Earnings per share for the period under review were EUR 0.01 (0.00).

The tax expense for the period was EUR 0.6 million (0.5), of which EUR 0.3 million were withholding taxes, related to double taxation (0.3). 

In January - March Comptel received seven significant orders (Q1 2015: 3), Service Orchestration received four (two FlowOne Fulfillment and two FlowOne Provisioning and Activation) and Intelligent Data received one (Data Refinery). Two orders were multi solution orders across business units. As significant orders Comptel reports sold projects and licenses with a minimum value of EUR 500,000.

The Group’s order backlog increased from the previous year and was EUR 60.0 million (55.8) at the end of the period.

Development work has focused on securing recurring revenue with competitive products, winning new markets by giving customers unique value, and improving margins with better deployment and scalability of our products.

Monetizer is the business policy and charging solution that sets the speed to money and allows the innovation and designing of rich communication and data. Data Fastermind embeds artificial intelligence, predictive analytics and machine learning capabilities into all solutions. In all of these areas, Comptel seeks global thought leadership in solving the business challenges of operators and digital communications service providers. 

During 2016 the company will further continue to develop its current offering. Three major software releases were launched in these respective product areas during the review period.

Corporate Governance

Comptel Corporation’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held on 6 April 2016. The AGM resolved the number of Board members to be five. Mr Pertti Ervi, Mr Hannu Vaajoensuu, Ms Eriikka Söderström, and Mr Antti Vasara were re-elected as members of the Board of Directors. Thomas Berlemann was elected as a new member of the Board of Directors.

The AGM appointed Ernst & Young Oy as the company’s auditor. Mr. Mikko Järventausta is acting as the principal auditor.

The AGM resolved that a dividend of 0.03 EUR per share will be paid for the year 2015.

In its meeting held after the Annual General Meeting, the Board of Directors elected Mr Pertti Ervi as chairman and Mr Hannu Vaajoensuu as vice chairman.

The Board of Directors decided to establish an audit committee to deal with the preparation of matters relating to the company’s financial reporting and control. The Board of Directors elected Ms Eriikka Söderström as the chairman of the audit committee, and Mr Pertti Ervi and Mr Antti Vasara as the members of the audit committee. All the members of the audit committee are independent from the company and its significant shareholders.

The AGM authorised the Board of Directors to decide on share issues amounting to a maximum of 21,400,000 new shares and on repurchase or conveying of the company’s own shares up to a maximum number of 10,700,000 shares. The authorisations are valid until 30 June 2017. However, the authorisation to implement the company’s share-based incentive programs is valid five years from the AGM resolution.

A separate stock exchange release about the authorisations given and other decisions made by the Annual General Meeting was published on 6 April 2016.

     

Events after the Reporting Period

Comptel has received a favourable ruling in Delhi judicial court regarding withholding tax for Indian tax years 2007-2008 and 2008-2009. A separate stock exchange release have been issued on 15th of April regarding this.

The company AGM was held on the 6th of April and a separate stock exchange has been published on that.
 

Near-term Risks and Uncertainties

Comptel develops dynamic end-to-end solutions for leading operators globally in the telecom field. This requires Comptel to understand correctly the trends taking place in its business environment and the needs of its customers and resellers by each region. Failure to identify market conditions, address customers’ needs and develop its products in a timely way may significantly undermine the growth of Comptel’s business and its profitability.

Characteristics of Comptel’s field of industry are significant quarterly variations of net sales and profit, which are related to customers’ purchasing behaviour and the timing of major single deals.

Comptel’s business consists of deliveries of large productised IT systems, and the value of a single project may be several million euros. Therefore, the credit risk associated with a single project or an individual customer may be significant. Furthermore, some of Comptel’s customers operate in countries where the political or financial climate can be unstable which in part may increase credit risk.

Comptel operates globally so it is exposed to risks arising from different currency positions. Exchange rate changes between the Euro, which is the company’s reporting currency, and the US Dollar, UK Pound Sterling and Malaysian Ringgit affect the company’s net sales, expenses and net profit.

The application process to prevent Comptel’s double taxation is still pending with the Ministry of Finance in Finland. However, the process between the states is very slow and the timing of a change is hard to forecast. The interpretation of tax treaties may result in different views between the countries in question. This could mean that the double taxation will prevail. Comptel has also applications for return of withholding taxes in other countries but they are subject to local legal processes, which take time to get completed.

The risks and uncertainties of Comptel are described in more detail in the company’s financial statements and the Board of Directors’ report for 2015.

 

Outlook (unchanged)

Comptel expects the 2016 net sales to continue to grow and operating profit to be in the range of 8-14% of revenue.   

Characteristically a significant part of Comptel’s operating profit and net sales is generated in the second half of the year.

3. Income tax

Income tax expense according to the statement of comprehensive income for the period was EUR 593 thousand (EUR 503 thousand).

In 2006, the Board of Adjustment of the Tax Office for Major Corporations refused to accept the crediting of taxes withheld at source in taxation of 2004 and 2005.

The application process to prevent Comptel’s double taxation is still pending with the Ministry of Finance in Finland. However, the process between the states is very slow and the timing of a change is hard to forecast. The interpretation of tax treaties may result in different views between the countries in question. This could mean that the double taxation will prevail.


According to the Board of Adjustment’s decision currently in force, Comptel Corporation has expensed taxes withheld at source amounting to EUR 300 thousand in January - March (EUR 253 thousand).
