EB, ELEKTROBIT CORPORATION, INTERIM REPORT, JANUARY-JUNE 2011
OPERATING RESULT OF THE SECOND QUARTER IMPROVED COMPARED TO THE FIRST QUARTER.
1H 2011 OPERATING RESULT WAS NEGATIVE AS EXPECTED.
SUMMARY 2Q 2011
- Net sales for the period amounted to EUR 39.7 million (EUR 44.7 million,
2Q 2010), representing a decrease of 11.2 % year-on-year. Net sales of the
Automotive Business Segment grew to EUR 22.7 million (EUR 18.6 million,
2Q 2010), representing a 22.2% growth year-on-year. The Wireless Business
Segment's net sales fell by 33.9% to EUR 17.1 million (EUR 25.9 million,
2Q 2010). The main reason for the decrease in net sales of the Wireless Business
Segment was significantly lower volume in the satellite terminal business.

of the Automotive Business Segment was EUR -0.5 million (EUR -0.2 million,
2Q 2010). The Wireless Business Segment's operating profit was EUR 0.1 million
(EUR 0.3 million, 2Q 2010). Operating result from Wireless Business Segment
improved clearly compared to the first quarter of 2011 (EUR -4.6 million,
1Q 2011) due to the increased net sales and cost saving actions.
- EBITDA was EUR 2.2 million (EUR 2.3 million, 2Q 2010).
- Cash flow from operating activities was EUR 3.4 million (EUR -4.5 million,
2Q 2010). The net cash flow was EUR -0.3 million (EUR -7.1 million, 2Q 2010).
- Earnings per share were EUR -0.01 (EUR -0.01, 2Q 2010).
SUMMARY 1H 2011
- Net sales of the period amounted to EUR 76.1 million (EUR 86.2 million,
1H 2010), representing a decrease of 11.7 % year-on-year. Net sales of the
Automotive Business Segment grew to EUR 46.3 million (EUR 37.1 million,
1H 2010), representing a 24.8 % growth year-on-year. The Wireless Business
Segment's net sales fell by 38.7 % to EUR 29.8 million (EUR 48.7 million,
1H 2010).
- Operating loss was EUR -4.4 million (EUR 1.8 million, 1H 2010). The main
reason for the decrease in the operating result was the Wireless Business
Segment's operating loss during the first quarter of 2011. The operating profit
of Automotive Business Segment was EUR 0.1 million (EUR 0.7 million, 1H 2010)
and the operating loss of Wireless Business Segment was EUR -4.5 million (EUR
1.3 million, 1H 2010).
- EBITDA was EUR 0.6 million (EUR 6.1 million, 1H 2010)
- Cash flow from operating activities was EUR 4.8 million (EUR 6.1 million,
1H 2010). The net cash flow was EUR -2.7 million (EUR 0.9 million, 1H 2010).
- Cash and other liquid assets totaled EUR 17.8 million (EUR 60.0 million,
1H 2010). The decrease was mainly due to the distribution of EUR 25.9 million
from the share premium fund on September 2, 2010.
- Equity ratio remained strong at 64.9% (55.4%, 1H 2010).
- Earnings per share were EUR -0.04 (EUR -0.01, 1H 2010).
- Earlier on October 19, 2010, EB's customer TerreStar Networks Inc. filed for
voluntary petition for reorganization, and its parent company TerreStar
Corporation filed for voluntary petition for reorganization on February
16, 2011. Under the review period there were no changes in valuation in EB's
receivables from these companies.
- EB lowered the profit guidance for the first half of 2011 on March 29, 2011.
EB expected a clearly negative operating result for the first half of 2011.
Earlier in the Financial Statement Bulletin on February 17, 2011, EB announced
for the first half of 2011 that it expected operating result to be lower than in
the first half of 2010 (EUR 1.8 million). The main reason for the revised profit
outlook was a lowered revenue forecast in the Wireless Business Segment due to
slower than expected order book development in the new satellite communication
service solutions and due to increased competition in the area of smart phones
related R&D services.
EB'S CEO JUKKA HARJU:
"During the second quarter EB's operating result continued to improve quarterly
after the decrease in the volume of the satellite terminal business during the
third quarter 2010. The operating result of the first half of 2011 was clearly
negative as expected mainly due to the operating loss of Wireless Business
Segment in the first quarter of 2011.
Wireless Business Segment developed well during the second quarter. Its net
sales grew clearly from the first quarter, and its operating result was
positive.
The demand for EB's services and products in the Automotive Business Segment
continued strong. During the second quarter the net sales grew by 22.2 % year-
on-year and was at the same level as during the first quarter. Automotive
Business Segment's operating result from the second quarter was slightly
negative.
Improving the profitability remains our main short term objective. The
continuing growth in demand in the Automotive Business Segment and the
strengthened overall demand in Wireless Business Segment create a good potential
for that during the second half of 2011."
OUTLOOK FOR THE SECOND HALF OF 2011
The demand for software products and services is estimated to grow in the
automotive industry and EB's net sales is expected to increase in the Automotive
Business Segment. Due to the strengthened demand, the net sales of EB's Wireless
Business Segment is expected grow.
EB expects for the second half of 2011 that net sales will be higher than in the
second half of 2010 (EUR 75.6 million) and that the operating result will be
positive (operating loss of EUR - 19.2 million, 2H 2010). Due to the cyclical
nature of the EB's business and due to the holiday period during the third
quarter, the net sales and operating result in the third quarter are expected to
be lower than in the fourth quarter of 2011.
The profit outlook for the second half of 2011 is based on the assumption that
there will be no further bookings of impairments of EB's accounts receivable
from TerreStar Networks Inc. and TerreStar Corporation. It is possible that,
based on later information related to reorganizations of TerreStar Networks and
TerreStar Corporation, this outlook may need to be reconsidered. Due to the
uncertainties related to the outcome of reorganization processes of TerreStar
Networks and TerreStar Corporation, the credit risk may still grow during the
second half of 2011. More specific market outlook is presented under the
"Business Segments' development during April-June 2011 and market outlook"
section, and uncertainties regarding the filings for reorganization of TerreStar
Networks and TerreStar Corporation, the amount of receivables and collecting the
receivables as well as other uncertainties regarding the outlook under "Risks
and Uncertainties" section.
Information on TerreStar Networks' and TerreStar Corporation's reorganizations
are presented in the October 20 and 25, November 20, December 30, 2010, and
February 17, 2011, stock exchange releases as well as in EB's interim reports
and financial statement at www.elektrobit.com.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS' DEVELOPMENT DURING APRIL-JUNE 2011 AND MARKET OUTLOOK
(Corresponding figures are for April-June 2010 unless otherwise indicated)
EB's reporting is based on two segments which are the Automotive and Wireless
Business Segments.
AUTOMOTIVE
The Automotive Business Segment's product offering consists of in-car software
products, navigation software for after market devices and development services
for the automotive industry with leading car manufacturers, car electronics
suppliers and automotive chipset suppliers as customers. By combining its
software products and R&D services EB is creating unique, customized solutions
for its automotive customers.
During the second quarter of 2011 the net sales of the Automotive Business
Segment amounted to EUR 22.7 million (EUR 18.6 million), representing a strong
22.2% growth year-on-year. The operating loss was EUR -0.5 million (EUR -0.2
million). The operating result was lower than anticipated due to the higher than
expected project costs.
Solid overall market demand continued for EB's software products, services and
solutions based on own automotive grade software products adapted and integrated
to the customer specific requirements. EB continued to grow during the second
quarter both in the infotainment and ECU (Electronic Control Unit) software
markets.
EB continued its R&D investments in the automotive software products and tools,
and released new product updates during the second quarter (i.e. EB Street
Director, navigation software and EB tresos, product line for the development of
ECU (electronic control units) software). EB also announced collaboration with
Freescale and QNX to jointly develop a solution that addresses reconfigurable
instrument clusters.
The development of the upcoming infotainment system by e.solutions (the joint
venture between Audi Electronics Venture and EB) proceeded well, and it was
announced that EB will provide the navigation and speech dialog system for the
VW Group's new infotainment system.
Automotive Market Outlook
The majority of the innovation and differentiation in the automotive industry is
brought about by software and electronics. The share of electronics and software
in cars has grown significantly during the past years. It is expected that the
use of software in automotives continues to increase. The estimated annual
automotive software market long-term growth rate in passenger cars is some 15%
(Frost & Sullivan). The underlying world automotive market is also expected to
grow steadily with a yearly rate of about 6% between 2010 and 2015 (CSM).
The increasingly sophisticated and networked features and growing performance
foster the complexity of automotive electronics. At the same time consumers
expect the same richness of features and user experience they know from the
internet and mobile devices also from within the car. These development trends
are driving the industry towards gradual separation of software and hardware in
electronics solutions. Hence it is necessary for managing the architectural
software layer appropriately and to aim for efficiency in innovation and
implementation. The use of standard software solutions is expected to increase
in the automotive industry. This enables faster innovation, improves quality and
development efficiency and reduces complexity related to deployment of software.
The fundamental industry migration and consequent growth of the automotive
software market will continue. Cost pressures of the automotive industry are
expected to accelerate the need of productized and efficient software solutions
EB is offering.
EB's net sales cumulating from the automotive industry are currently primarily
driven by the development of software and software platforms for new cars. Hence
the dependency of EB's net sales on car production volumes is currently limited,
however, the direct dependency is expected to increase as a result of the EB's
transition towards software product business models over the forthcoming years.
WIRELESS
The Wireless Business Segment offers development services, customized solutions
and radio channel emulator products for industries and authorities utilizing
wireless technologies.
Net sales of the Wireless Business Segment during the second quarter of 2011 was
EUR 17.1 million (EUR 25.9 million), representing a decline of 33.9% year-on-
year. The main reason for the decrease in net sales of the Wireless Business
Segment was significantly lower volume in the satellite terminal business.
Operating profit was EUR 0.1 million (EUR 0.3 million). Operating result from
the Wireless Business Segment improved clearly compared to the first quarter of
2011 (EUR -4.6 million, 1Q 2011) due to the increased net sales and cost saving
actions.
On December 13, 2010 EB announced in a stock exchange release that as a result
of personnel negotiations EB dismisses 60 employees and temporarily dismisses
85 employees in Wireless Solutions business and EB corporate functions based on
financial and production-related reasons. In addition EB estimated that the cost
savings resulting from the dismissals and temporary dismissals, if fully
executed, would be approximately EUR 4 million and from other related measures
approximately EUR 1 million by the end of the first half of 2011.
The dismissals were executed at the end of 2010, but in order to ensure the
resources needed for project orders, temporary dismissals were not executed in
full. Cost savings resulting from the announced dismissals, temporary dismissals
and other cost saving measures stayed at approximately EUR 3.5 million.
During the second quarter of 2011 the demand in the EB's Wireless Business
Segment improved well, especially in the security, defense and wireless
infrastructure markets as well as in the radio channel test tool market.
Improving the cost efficiency and strengthening the sales activities were in
particular focus. Personnel's training was continued with the focus on LTE and
Linux technologies as well as on SCRUM master trainings.
EB continued its R&D investments in the radio channel test tools and next
generation special terminals product platform.
Wireless Market Outlook
In the mobile infrastructure market the use of LTE standard, which improves the
performance of radio channel and mobile phone networks, is expected to continue
to gain strength. EB's business driven by LTE is expected to increase. Mastering
of multi-radio technologies and end-to-end system architectures covering both
terminals and networks has gained importance in the complex wireless technology
industry. Fast implementation of LTE technology and a wide spectrum of bandwidth
needed are creating opportunities for EB.
The growth of demand for smart phones and transitions in the related software
architectures and platforms are expected to continue during 2011. The R&D
services market for smart phones continues to be challenging and the continuing
price pressure drives increasing off-shoring in the industry. The overall demand
for R&D services for smart phones is expected to decrease in the future due to
changes in the market environment. However, OEMs are expected to continue
relying on outsourcing in order to maintain their R&D flexibility which can
create new business opportunities for EB.
The market for communications, interference and intelligence solutions targeted
for public authorities is estimated to remain stable. EB's competence and long
experience in software radio based solutions is expected to bring new business
opportunities. The trend of adopting commercial technologies, such as LTE, is
expected to continue on special verticals such as public safety. The networks
used by public authorities often utilize dedicated spectrum blocks outside the
commercial frequency bands, which generates the need for special user terminal
variants for these networks.
The mobile satellite communication service industry is introducing new data and
mobile communication services with new operators being formed and traditional
ones upgrading their solutions and offerings. The Satellite-Terrestrial and
Mobile Satellite Services (MMS) market demand has been expected to move from the
current reference design phase towards the launch of commercial products and
services during the next few years. The filing for reorganization of TerreStar
Networks Inc. has, however, delayed and brought uncertainties to the market
development and to the development of the demand for the satellite terrestrial
"Genus" terminal that EB has developed for TerreStar. Based on the current
understanding there is no reason to expect that the business relationship
between the parties will continue.
The performance of radio channel is going to increase quickly when introducing
new LTE technologies. This will create demand for advanced development tools
during the next few years. The test tool market is expanding from the
performance testing of LTE base stations to LTE terminals, where the over-the-
air (OTA) technology will be widely used. EB provides world leading channel
emulation tools for the development of MIMO based LTE, LTE-Advanced and other
advanced radio technologies.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
EB continued its investments in R&D in the automotive software products and
tools, in radio channel emulation products and in Wireless Solutions' product
platforms.
The total R&D investments during the second quarter of 2011 were EUR 6.0 million
(EUR 5.4 million, 2Q 2010), equaling 15.1% of the net sales (12.1%, 2Q 2010).
EUR 1.6 million of R&D investments were capitalized (EUR 1.0 million, 2Q 2010).
OUTLOOK FOR THE SECOND HALF OF 2011
The demand for software products and services is estimated to grow in the
automotive industry and EB's net sales is expected to increase in the Automotive
Business Segment. Due to the strengthened demand, the net sales of EB's Wireless
Business Segment is expected grow.
EB expects for the second half of 2011 that net sales will be higher than in the
second half of 2010 (EUR 75.6 million) and that the operating result will be
positive (operating loss of EUR - 19.2 million, 2H 2010). Due to the cyclical
nature of the EB's business and due to the holiday period during the third
quarter, the net sales and operating result in the third quarter are expected to
be lower than in the fourth quarter of 2011.
The profit outlook for the second half of 2011 is based on the assumption that
there will be no further bookings of impairments of EB's accounts receivable
from TerreStar Networks Inc. and TerreStar Corporation. It is possible that,
based on later information related to reorganizations of TerreStar Networks and
TerreStar Corporation, this outlook may need to be reconsidered. Due to the
uncertainties related to the outcome of reorganization processes of TerreStar
Networks and TerreStar Corporation, the credit risk may still grow during the
second half of 2011. More specific market outlook is presented under the
"Business Segments' development during April-June 2011 and market outlook"
section, and uncertainties regarding the filings for reorganization of TerreStar
Networks and TerreStar Corporation, the amount of receivables and collecting the
receivables as well as other uncertainties regarding the outlook under "Risks
and Uncertainties" section.
Information on TerreStar Networks' and TerreStar Corporation's reorganizations
are presented in the October 20 and 25, November 20, December 30, 2010, and
February 17, 2011, stock exchange releases as well as in EB's interim reports
and financial statement at www.elektrobit.com.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
EB has identified a number of business, market and finance related risk factors
and uncertainties that can affect the level of sales and profits. Those of the
greatest significance on a short term are those affecting the utilization and
chargeability levels and average hourly prices of R&D services. On the ongoing
financial period the global economic uncertainty may affect the demand for EB's
services, solutions and products and provide pressure on e.g. volumes and
pricing. It may also increase the risk for credit losses.
On August 5, 2011, EB's receivables from TerreStar amounted to approximately USD
25.8 million (EUR 18.1 million as per exchange rate of August 3, 2011), which it
has claimed in the Chapter 11 cases of both TerreStar Networks and TerreStar
Corporation. In addition to the booked receivables, EB has also claimed
additional costs in the amount of approximately USD 2.1 million (EUR 1.5 million
as per exchange rate of August 3, 2011) and resulting mainly from the ramp down
of the business operations between the parties. Thus, EB has asserted claims
against each of the TerreStar entities in amounts totaling USD 27.9 million (EUR
19.5 million as per exchange rate of August 3, 2011). Due to uncertainties
related to the accounts receivable, EB booked an impairment of the accounts
receivable in the amount of EUR 8.3 million during the second half of 2010.
On October 19, 2010, TerreStar Networks and certain other affiliates of
TerreStar Corporation and on February 16, 2011, the parent company TerreStar
Corporation filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code to strengthen their financial position. Chapter
11 establishes a process for reorganizing or liquidating financially troubled
companies such as TerreStar Networks or TerreStar Corporation. Generally in a
Chapter 11 case, any distribution of cash or other assets by a debtor to satisfy
pre-bankruptcy claims of its creditors must be made under a Chapter 11 plan of
reorganization or liquidation. Such plans must be approved by the United States
Bankruptcy Court and (with limited exceptions) an affirmative vote of all
classes of creditors whose claims will not be paid fully and immediately after
the plan is approved by the court and becomes effective by its terms. Despite
of the TerreStar companies' efforts to reorganize, it is possible that the
credit risk may still grow during the second half of 2011.
As previously published, on November 20, 2010 EB initiated legal proceedings
against TerreStar Networks's parent company TerreStar Corporation to collect its
receivables. EB's complaint was partly based on a guarantee issued by TerreStar
Corporation for EB's accounts receivable from TerreStar Networks and partly
based on TerreStar Corporation's direct contractual obligations towards EB.
These legal proceedings against TerreStar Corporation were subsequently stayed
when TerreStar Corporation filed its Chapter 11 bankruptcy case.
Within the first four months of its Chapter 11 case, TerreStar Networks filed,
then withdrew, a proposed plan of reorganization. Subsequently, on July
7, 2011, the United States Bankruptcy Court approved the sale of substantially
all TerreStar Networks' assets to Gamma Acquisition L.L.C., an acquisition
subsidiary formed by Dish Network Corporation for about USD $1.375 billion.
Other than payments to secured creditors in the amount of about USD 800 million,
to be made from the sale proceeds, a sale of TerreStar Networks' assets will not
result in an immediate distribution to creditors. EB's share of the TerreStar
Networks' sale proceeds cannot be predicted with certainty at this time. Any
such distribution must be provided for under a Chapter 11 plan of liquidation to
be filed, voted on and submitted to the court for approval at a future time,
after the sale is accomplished.
On July 22, 2011, TerreStar Corporation filed a reorganization plan with the
Bankruptcy Court. Its plan contains only incomplete information on how EB's
receivables will be treated in the reorganization. However, the plan suggests
that unsecured claims (such as EB's) may be exchanged for new notes to be issued
by a reorganized TerreStar Corporation in the face amount of each allowed
claim. It is also possible that some part of an allowed unsecured claim may be
exchanged for shares in a new class of preferred stock in the reorganized
entity. The terms of these new notes and preferred stock are not available at
this time. Further, it is premature to speculate regarding distributions to
creditors under this plan because TerreStar Corporation has not yet formally
sought approval of the plan, the plan it filed may or may not obtain the
necessary approvals, and the terms of the plan may change through negotiation
with creditors.
Recoveries by holders of claims against TerreStar Networks and TerreStar
Corporation are to be funded by separate pools or streams of assets. Timing or
amount of any payment either by TerreStar Networks or TerreStar Corporation
cannot be predicted with certainty at this time. However, subject to a great
number of assumptions, EB anticipates that creditors of TerreStar Networks may
expect to receive cash payment corresponding to a relatively small percentage of
their allowed claims. Creditors of TerreStar Corporation are to receive new
promissory notes to be issued notes and possibly preferred stock, with a face
value equivalent to their allowed claims. Payment of the note obligations and
any distributions to holders of preferred stock are to be funded by future
revenues and profits of reorganized TerreStar Corporation. For the reasons
noted in the above chapter, it is premature to comment on the extent of EB's
potential recovery. Additionally, as part of the process of reconciling
accounts in preparation for making distributions under a plan, Chapter 11
debtors often challenge the amount or validity of some creditor claims, and it
is possible that either TerreStar Networks or TerreStar Corporation will object
to EB's claims filed in their respective bankruptcy cases. EB expects to
vigorously defend any such objections to its claims, but speculation regarding
the likely outcome of any such future dispute is premature at this time.
Further, it is possible that, as part of the Chapter 11 process, either
TerreStar Networks or TerreStar Corporation may seek to recover payments
previously made to their creditors pursuant to various provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code. The risk that TerreStar Networks may attempt to recover
payments from EB, or that such recovery actions, if attempted, may be
successful, cannot be ruled out at this time.
Based on the current understanding it is unlikely that the business relationship
between TerreStar Networks and EB will continue. In March, 2011, TerreStar
Networks and TerreStar Corporation obtained Bankruptcy Court orders authorizing
them to cease performing any further contractual obligations towards EB, and
also terminating EB's further obligations under the contracts between them.
These orders did not affect EB's status as a creditor of the TerreStar
companies. At worst, the progress of the TerreStar Chapter 11 cases may result
in significant further credit losses for EB. Should the accounts receivable not
be collected at all, either from TerreStar Networks or TerreStar Corporation, an
impairment loss and costs related to the collection process would additionally
lower EB's operating result on a non-recurring basis by approximately EUR 10
million, at maximum (USD-nominated items as per exchange rate of August
3, 2011). However, this would not have any significant negative effect on the
EB's cash flow.
Based on EB's current understanding, there is no reason to believe that there
would be further impairment losses on EB's account receivable from TerreStar
Networks and TerreStar Corporation. EB aims to collect the amounts owed to it in
full through the Chapter 11 cases of TerreStar Networks and TerreStar
Corporation, and/or for example through selling of the earlier mentioned
accounts receivable. It is possible that based on later information related to
the TerreStar Networks' and TerreStar Corporation's Chapter 11 cases, the above
views may need to be reconsidered.
As the EB's customer base consists mainly of companies operating in the fields
of automotive and telecommunications, the company is exposed to market changes
in these industries. EB believes that expanding the customer base will reduce
dependence on individual companies and that the company will thereby be mainly
affected by the general business climate in automotive and telecommunication
industries. However, some parts of EB's business are more sensitive to customer
dependency than others. Respectively, this may translate as accumulation of risk
with respect to outstanding receivables and ultimately with respect to credit
losses. The more specific market outlook is presented under the "Business
Segments' development during the second quarter 2011 and market outlook"
section.
EB's operative business risks are mainly related to following items:
uncertainties and short visibility on customers' product program decisions,
their make or buy decisions and on the other hand, their decisions to continue,
downsize or terminate current product programs, ramping up and down project
resources, availability of personnel in labour markets (in particular in Germany
and Finland), timing and on the other hand successful utilization of the most
important technologies and components, competitive situation and potential
delays in the markets, timely closing of customer and supplier contracts with
reasonable commercial terms, delays in R&D projects, activations based on
customer contracts, obsolescence of inventories and technology risks in product
development causing higher than planned R&D costs. In addition there are typical
industry warranty and liability risks as well as risks related to management of
intellectual property rights involved in selling EB's services, solutions and
products.
Product delivery business model includes such risks as high dependency on actual
product volumes, development of the cost of materials and production yields. The
above-mentioned risks may manifest themselves as higher cost of product
delivery, and ultimately, as lower profit. Revenues expected to come from new
products for existing and new customers include normal timing risks.
