Managing Director Hannu Ahola:
"After the uncertain first half of 2009 Solteq's profitability improved
significantly during the latter half of year 2009. Our operating result
percentage was 8,1 in the third quarter and 9,6 in the fourth quarter which can
be considered good level in our branch of business.
In addition to operative business operations we have taken several significant
development measures that enable us to ensure favorable development of
profitability also during forthcoming years. Our personnel structure and office
network were adjusted by means of co-operation negotiations to correspond our
activities. The controlling and monitoring opportunities were improved by means
of implementation of a new ERP -system. During the last part of the year we also
completely reformed our organizational structure to correspond our strategic
focus areas. During 2010 there are no needs for such extensive reforms in the
view but we are able to completely concentrate to serve our customers and make
profitable business in such environment that is presumably more favorable in
market conditions' point of view."
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Solteq is a strategic partner for trade and industry, whose core competency is
IT solutions that are critical to business. Solteq combines its own product
portfolio with the products from the leading software companies in the world to
deliver individual business development and ERP solutions for its customers. The
information that is processed by means of these solutions is helping customers
to manage their business even better than before and to improve their
profitability.
Solteq's operations were internally divided into five separate units during
2009. The result was monitored through two business segments and in this
financial statements bulleting the figures are reported in accordance with
above-mentioned allocation. The segment Trade consists of Trade and Auto Trade
units. Industry and Services segment consists of Industry and Information
Management units. Application services is company's internal service unit. OOO
Solteq Russia operates as an independent subsidiary which with the assistance of
the parent company's organization serves customers that are operating in Russia.
The figures of OOO Solteq Russia are reported according to the operating segment
of the end customer.
Solteq Plc announced 16.9.2009 that company's organizational structure will be
reformed to correspond to company's strategic focus areas ERP (enterprise
resource planning), EAM (enterprise asset management), DATA (data management and
integration) and STORE (retail solutions and technology). The reform enables
prerequisites at streamlining operations further and further improves the
selling of company's product range to new areas. The organizational change has
taken effect on 1.1.2010. As of the first quarter of 2010, Solteq's figures will
be reported in accordance with new organizational structure.
During fourth quarter of 2009 Solteq's turnover totalled 8 226 thousand euros in
which contains decrease of 4,9 per cent compared to corresponding period in
2008. The total turnover from financial year 2009 decreased six per cent and
amounted to 28.550 thousand euros. The decrease of turnover was mainly due to
decrease in hardware sales that was fainter compared to previous year. Instead
the sales of services and licences have run according to plans.
Solteq's operating result for the fourth quarter increased to 786 thousand euros
from 657 thousand euros that was the operating result in the corresponding
period 2008. The operating profit for the whole year 2009 was 1.464 thousand
euros and that was in the same level as in 2008 (1.460 thousand euros).
Company's operating profit percentage was 9,6 during the last quarter (7,6 in
2008) and during the whole financial year 5,1 (4,8). Improved profitability,
especially during the last half of the year, is mainly due to the efficiency
measures that company has taken during the first quarter of 2009.
Company's order backlog remained at good level during the last quarter of 2009.
Current order backlog and strong sales project backlog build up confidence that
the number of IT-investments will gradually increase during 2010 and also Solteq
has a good chance to improve its profitability level compared to last year. The
reforms that were executed during 2009 build up the wherewithal for the
improvement of profitability. In the beginning of 2009 Solteq conducted
co-operation negotiations with its employees and the number of company's offices
was reduced. In addition during summer Solteq implemented new ERP-system that
improves company's ability to monitor and develop its operations.
TRADE
Business environment - Trade
Precaution in decision-making was still evident in the business environment of
Trade. Customers' interest towards solutions that relate to optimization of
activities and efficiency improvement has remained stable anyway. Companies'
managements are participating actively to the ERP development projects, because
companies strive to achieve cost gains and efficiency by means of those projects
during the tighter economical times.
The middle-sized companies which continued their investments were the most
active actors among the clientele of trade. Especially the companies in
wholesale trade as well as small chain stores are still systematically investing
in the development of their operations.
In particular the demand for warehouse management for specialty stores and ERP
solutions that relate to optimization of logistics chain and store systems has
been brisk. Improvements in efficiency, outmoding systems, implementation of
PCI-standards as well as changes in the value added tax are the drivers for
investments in store systems.
Business environment - Auto Trade
In the markets of IT solutions for car trade there were no signs of recovered
demand during the review period. The weak demand situation is consequence of the
downturn of market conditions in car trade. During January - December
approximately total 90 000 new cars were registered which is 35 per cent less
than during the same period in 2008. Solteq anticipates that extensive IT system
renewals will only start after the consumers' confidence improves and when the
sales of new cars picks up clearly compared to the current level.
Business development - Trade
During the review period the business operations of Solteq's Trade unit have
developed according to expectations. During the review period Solteq has further
focused on developing the quality of its activities and production of services
as well as developing the certified competence. This has had a positive effect
on demand and profitability. Domesticality combined with global products is an
advantage in the markets too.
During the review period the focus of demand was in ERP-systems for middle-sized
wholesale stores and chain stores. Like in the beginning of year 2009 the
interest towards optimization solutions also remained brisk.
Of the individual projects, the significant one was among others the system
renewal for Tuko Logistics that continued according to plans. A new Microsoft
NAV -based ERP-project was started with Pentik that was one of the new customers
among the ERP solutions.
Business development - Auto Trade
The reduction of car dealers' business operations was seen directly in the
demand for services of Solteq's Auto Trade unit. During the review period the
turnover and result of Auto Trade unit were weaker level compared to
corresponding period in 2008. The demand for services concentrated on the
development of customers' existing systems and solutions that support after
sales.
During the low season Solteq has focused on the development of its own product
range in order to be even more competitive when the investments start again.
INDUSTRY
Business environment - Industry
Precaution was a distinctive feature for the business environment of Industry
unit during the last quarter of 2009. Both middle- and especially large-sized
companies considered their investments extremely carefully and not many new
investment decisions have been made. Solteq sees that it is possible that the
bottom has been seen relating to the precaution.
Under a tight cost pressure an increasing number of customers are seeking more
efficiency to their activities by means of various IT solutions. The companies
which have not recently involved with large scale temporarily dismissals or
lay-offs of employees are the furthest with new investment decisions. During the
review period the customers of Industry unit sought additional efficiency to
their operations especially by means of maintenance IT solutions, whose demand
remained at relatively good level.
During the review period the demand for ERP solutions remained still slight.
Customers' interest focused especially on precision solutions relating to
efficiency improvement and better utilization of existing systems.
Business environment - Information Management
Solteq's Information Management business unit offers harmonization and
management of master data to its customers. The objective for harmonization is
to improve the quality of data that is recorded in the IT systems. Customer
enables information based leading in an integrated system by means of master
data management.
Among Solteq's clientele the interest towards information management solutions
was clearly more active than during the first half of the year 2009. When the
own economic outlooks of companies began to improve little by little and their
propensity to invest was increased during the third quarter, the companies have
now started again information management related projects. Companies seek
solutions to accurately specified unique needs and implement the best practices
by means of those projects.
The customers of Information Management unit consist mainly of industrial
companies. Solteq foresees that the public sector customers are growing customer
group in the future. Solteq believes that companies and public organizations
will continue their investments in information management, because evident cost
savings with a short payback period are achieved by means of harmonization.
Business development - Industry
During the review period customers' precaution was seen in the sales of ERP
solutions where the budgeted objectives were not achieved. Instead the demand
for maintenance IT solutions remained at good level compared to the market
situation.
Of the individual projects, the most significant was the SAP renewal of
Helsinki University which continued as planned. In addition a continuance
project was started with Componenta Oyj where SAP-system will be implemented in
Componenta group's three different locations in Finland.
Maintenance solutions were delivered to Kokkola Power, Finnsementti, Marioff and
Jack-Steel. The most significant new maintenance related IT-system project was
the delivery project to Kaukaa sawmill in Lappeenranta that was started with
UPM-Kymmene Oyj. The increased sales efforts that have increased the total
number of concluded deals were seen among the solicitation of new customers in
maintenance systems.
Solteq achieved a significant milestone relating to product development in
October when company announced Solax-software that is developed for global
Microsoft platform. Solax is used for management of fixed assets, materials,
works and maintenance contracts and the software is designed especially for the
needs of production plants, companies in processing and engineering industry as
well as companies providing maintenance services. The welcome of this software
has been very positive among the clientele and the first pilots have gone
according to plans.
Business development - Information Management
During the last quarter Information Management unit achieved its financial
objectives. Due to the weaker development during the beginning of the year the
objectives for the whole year 2009 were not achieved.
During the review period a large harmonization project was started and it will
continue until spring 2010. In addition this unit has made an agreement relating
to new outsourced master data maintenance service contract.
For the purposes of product and service development Solteq carried out
comparative survey in co-operation with ten actors that included companies and
organizations from public administration. The objective was to find out the best
current practices relating to master data management and to find out the
development targets of the future.

1.1.2009: IFRS 8 - Operating Segments and IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial
Statements. The change of IFRS 8 has an effect on the segment information in
