CEO Olli Väätäinen: Good sales figures for Solteq's software products in third quarter

Solteq Group's revenue for the first three quarters came to 42.6 million euros, up by 1.5 percent. Approximately a quarter of this revenue came from outside Finland. The revenue of overseas subsidiaries increased considerably. Continuous services accounted for about a third of revenue. The company's own software products and related services contributed around a third and digital services around two thirds of revenue.

EBITDA for the review period was 5.3 million euros and operating profit 2.4 million euros. Operating profit increased by 0.6 million euros in comparative terms, when adjusted for the adoption of the IFRS 16 standard.

Operating profit for the third quarter was below the company's expectations. This was due to the postponement of certain customer projects to the fourth quarter. The largest postponed project was the Finnish Customs' cash payment system, which is based on Solteq's own software. Solteq has announced the deal in a separate press release on August 15, 2019. The value of the postponed order was worth more than 300,000 euros.

In the third quarter, the company won tenders worth more than 2 million euros for its software and the related services. In addition to the deal with Finnish Customs, major commercial successes included the new customer service system for Korpelan Voima joint municipal authority. The system is compliant with the national data hub, and consists of customer service and invoicing functions for electricity sales and transfers, and district heating.

Solteq continued to invest in the development of its own cloud-based software products and services. Product development investment in the third quarter totaled 0.9 million euros. Product development investments are expected to reach around 3.7 million euros by the end of the year. Investments to product development during the review period enabled strong growth in sales of Solteq's own products. The company expects its positive sales trend to continue.

The Group's order intake continued to develop positively in Q3, improving considerably compared to the same period last year. The business outlook has remained the same and the company's profitability is expected to improve.

Profit guidance 2019

Solteq Group's operating profit is expected to grow clearly compared to the financial year 2018.
